10 Most SURPRISING and DANGEROUS ingredients in vaccines

Dr Eddy Betterman

Are you aware that blood, cells, and organ tissue from cows, eagles, dogs, ferrets, chickens, and yes, human abortions, are used to manufacture the world’s most deadly vaccines? That’s why they’re called “dirty vaccines.” Most natural health advocates already know about thimerosal, which is 50 percent mercury, that crosses the blood-brain barrier thanks to the inclusion of aluminum (linked to dementia), found in multi-dose flu shots. But it gets much, much worse. What most people are not aware of are the surprising ingredients that, if found in food or beverages, most folks would use common sense and judgment to avoid at all costs.

These scary ingredients and volatile substances are termed “excipients,” “adjuvants” and “preservatives” by the vaccine industrial complex to keep the injected from having well-warranted concern and dismay.

No, vaccines are not “safe and effective,” and they never were. That myth has surely been debunked, especially now with those dreaded clot shots for Covid. People like to talk about cigarettes being so dangerous and damaging for your health, but vaccines are even worse. Why are these dangerous ingredients used in vaccines, and what health damage in the short and long term do these “excipients” and “adjuvants” inflict?

Did you know that almost every childhood allergy is tied to vaccine ingredients? This requires careful consideration. No medical doctor ever points towards vaccines when addressing childhood allergies, asthma, skin problems like psoriasis and eczema, or severe, life-threatening allergic reactions to certain antibiotics (yes, antibiotics are found in some vaccines).

Even peanut oil antigen is STILL present in many vaccines, and has been used since the 1960s. Did the school nurse fail to inform you? Just because peanut oil fails to “show up” in the final vaccine product or the warning inserts, doesn’t mean residuals are not found in the vaccine. Peanut oil is a “growth medium” used to grow the bacteria and viruses, like with the MMR jab and most flu shots. Got peanut allergies?

10 Most surprising and dangerous ingredients in vaccines, and the chronic health carnage inflicted by them

#1. Monosodium Glutamate – Found in vaccines for Adenovirus, certain flu shots, Vericella (chicken pox), and MMRV — used as a “preservative” and “stabilizer.” MSG is a concentrated salt that can give infants brain damage, and becomes a neurotoxin when injected, even in miniscule amounts, because it bypasses digestion.

#2. Human Serum Albumin – supposedly used to “prevent immunogens from adhering to the injection vial walls.”

human fetuses aborted(opens in a new tab)

#3. Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (a dog’s cell protein) – in flu shots, to grow flu viruses instead of fertilized hen’s eggs.

#4. Human Abortion Cells (MRC5) – unethical procedures are used to manufacture vaccines using cells derived from human fetuses aborted decades ago.

#5. Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle (Medium) – used in the Rotavirus vaccine.

#6. Squalene – found in flu shots.

#7. Embalming fluid – formaldehyde is found in most flu shots and the Anthrax jab.

#8. Polysorbate 80 – found in DTaP, Hep B, most flu shots, and HPV – used as surfactant to increase the solubility of one agent into another. Polysorbate 80 is derived from sorbitol using a chemical reaction, and can cause IBS because it metabolizes very slowly. Health concerns from consuming or injecting polysorbate 80 are linked to cancer (due to ethylene oxide and 1,4 dioxane), skin allergies, developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity.

#9. African Green Monkey Kidney (vero cells) – harvested from infected, diseased primates – used in polio vaccines – used to propagate the virus over decades.

#10. Deadly porcine pathogen Circovirus – found in Rotateq Rotavirus jabs – Porcine circovirus DNA is a contaminant of an enzyme obtained from pig’s pancreas. No explanation has ever been given as to why this highly dangerous contaminant is purposely put in rotavirus vaccines.

Tucker Carlson: Why is President Zelensky Banning Christianity in Ukraine?

Posted BY: Bill | NwoReport

Given the background, it doesn’t come as a surprise.  Zelenskyy has previously made political opposition parties illegal and removed all media from Ukraine that is not state-authorized.   However, the move to ban Ukraine’s orthodox religion is still a considerable escalation into totalitarian extremes; all supported by the U.S. State Dept.

As Carlson notes in the latter part of his monologue, the insufferable propaganda has enmeshed the Ukrainian face of the western government, “It’s just a grotesque post-modern psy-op, and anyone still falling for this is brain damaged.”

40 Year Study: Organic Farming Produces Better Yields During Droughts, Higher Profits for Farmers

 


 

 

By Beyond Pesticides

Organic systems achieve 3-6 times the profit of conventional production and 40% higher yields during stressful drought periods, according to the longest-running investigation comparing organic and conventional grain-cropping approaches in North America.

The longest-running — four-decade — investigation comparing organic and conventional grain-cropping approaches in North America is reporting impressive results for organic.

Recently announced in the Rodale Institute’s Farming Systems Trial — 40-Year Report are these outcomes:

Organic systems achieve 3-6 times the profit of conventional production.
Yields for the organic approach are competitive with those of conventional systems (after a five-year transition period).
Organic yields during stressful drought periods are 40% higher than conventional yields.
Organic systems leach no toxic compounds into nearby waterways (unlike pesticide-intensive conventional farming), use 45% less energy than conventional and emit 40% less carbon into the atmosphere.

Beyond Pesticides reported in 2019 on similar results, from the institute’s 30-year project mark, which have been borne out by another three years of the trials.

The current report builds on results from the Farming Systems Trial that were shared in the Rodale Institute’s 2020 white paper, Regenerative Organic Agriculture and Climate Change: A Down-to-Earth Solution to Global Warming,” which integrated the newest research data and offered action steps for consumers, policymakers, farmers and others.

That report asserted that a global switch to a regenerative food system could not only provide sufficient food for the world’s population, reduce chemical exposures and improve biodiversity, but also, could be key to mitigating the climate crisis.

Through its longitudinal Farming Systems Trial, the Rodale Institute has collected data that measure differences in soil health, energy efficiency, crop yields, water use and contamination and nutrient density across test plots of grains grown in organic and conventional systems and using different levels of tillage.

The project focuses on grains (including wheat, corn, soy and oats) because they represent 70% of U.S. crops.

On its 12-acre Pennsylvania parcel, the institute’s Farming Systems Trial uses 72 experimental plots, across which are applied three broad approaches:

Organic manure, representing a typical organic dairy or beef operation, featuring long rotations of annual feed grain crops and perennial forage crops, fertilized through legume cover crops and periodic applications of composted manure and using diverse crop rotations as primary defense against pests.
Organic legume, representing a typical cash grain operation, featuring mid-length rotations of annual grain crops and cover crops, deploying leguminous cover crops as the sole fertilizers and using only crop rotations as pest defense.
Conventional synthetic, representing a typical U.S. grain-producing enterprise, using synthetic nitrogen fertilizer and controlling weeds with synthetic herbicides (according to recommendations of Penn State University Cooperative Extension).

To what to attribute these demonstrated benefits of organic over conventional approaches? All these results, as Beyond Pesticides and the Rodale Institute have asserted for decades, begin with soil health.

“Healthy soil is that which allows plants to grow to their maximum productivity without disease or pests and without a need for off-farm supplements.

“Healthy soil is teeming with bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, nematodes, and other tiny creatures. Those organisms play an important role in plant health [by helping plants fight diseases and pests].

“Soil bacteria produce natural antibiotics that help plants resist disease. Fungi assist plants in absorbing water and nutrients. Together, these bacteria and fungi are known as ‘organic matter.’ The more organic matter in a sample of soil, the healthier that soil is.”

Healthy soil retains more moisture, boosting plants’ ability to survive periods of drought; it binds together, supporting soil structure that more successfully wards off soil erosion and runoff into waterways.

And because organic systems don’t use chemical inputs, toxic compounds are not deployed into the environment, and fewer fossil fuels are used (because synthetic pesticides and fertilizers are derived from petrochemicals).

It is well known that organic practices increase organic matter in soils; but Farming Systems Trial data show that organic matter (and thus, soil health) in organic systems increases continuously over time, whereas in conventional agricultural systems, this does not happen, and soil health remains essentially unchanged.

According to the Rodale Institute, such healthy, organically managed soils allow “15–20% more water to percolate through soils, replenishing groundwater and helping organic crops perform well in extreme weather. More organic matter also means more total microorganisms that make nutrients available to plants for strong growth.”

The metrics used to determine a soil’s health include: the number of microorganisms present in the soil; the ability of the soil to retain water during drought or dry periods; the number and variety of nutrients present and the quantity of carbon the soil is able to hold.

By contrast, a more conventional view of soil sometimes sees it as little more than an “empty matrix” to which (chemical) inputs are added so that plants can survive, rather than as a living, evolving and interactive ecosystem that provides a rich growing environment for plants and many other life forms.

The Farming Systems Trial stands out as a singular research approach for multiple reasons, but chief among them is its longevity.

The Rodale Institute explains, “Short-term studies that take place over only a few years can’t measure longer-term weather effects, like drought, that will inevitably occur, or biological changes to the soil, which can happen slowly. We need long-term studies to find real solutions to problems affecting the future of global food production.”

These results were good news three years ago; they emerge as even more important as the world grapples with a constellation of intersecting environmental and health crises.

Many of those are related to the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, and are showing up as degraded soils, biodiversity loss, widespread chemical pollution and compromised human and ecosystem health.

These toxic compounds also play a role in the exacerbation of the climate crisis. These realities challenge governments, institutions, businesses and human populations to change “business as usual.”

Yet we must change, and must influence decision-makers at every level and in every institution if we are to rescue the future of human life on the planet.

Regeneration International has issued a dire warning: at current rates of soil destruction — via erosion, desertification, decarbonization and chemical pollution — public health will be seriously damaged within 50 years.

Soil scientists are predicting, the organization says, health damage from a food supply with reduced nutritive value (including loss of important trace minerals), as well as no longer having “enough arable topsoil to feed ourselves.”

“Without protecting and regenerating the soil on our 4 billion acres of cultivated farmland, 8 billion acres of pastureland and 10 billion acres of forest land, it will be impossible to feed the world, keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, or halt the loss of biodiversity.”

Regenerative organic agriculture has a potentially enormous role to play in the needed changes to business as usual in the agricultural sector, according to the Rodale Institute.

Regeneration International defines such agricultural practices as “farming and grazing . . . that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity — resulting in both carbon drawdown and improving the water cycle.”

Congress Set to End Military COVID Vaccine Mandate

 

By The Defender Staff

The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote later this week to rescind the Pentagon’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, after Republican lawmakers threatened to withhold votes for the $858 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) unless the bill included removal of the mandate.

The news was confirmed Tuesday night, according to The Washington Post, which also reported that Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, said the removal of the vaccination requirement “was essential for the defense policy bill to move forward.”

The legislation must pass the U.S. Senate before heading to President Biden. Biden, who along with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin opposes repealing the mandate, has not indicated that he will veto the bill, Politico reported.

The Pentagon would have 30 days to rescind the mandate of the bill passes as is.

Thousands of active duty service members have been discharged for refusing the shots since the Pentagon instituted the mandate in August 2021. The proposed legislation will not reinstate discharged service members or compensate those who lost benefits for refusing vaccination.

According to The Hill’s “Rising,” Tulsi Gabbard, a politician and U.S. Army Reserve officer, slammed the mandate:

“I know people personally who have been kicked out of the military, some who have served 10 years, 20 years, 25 years, all because of this mandate that makes no sense and frankly is based on a lie that [Dr. Anthony] Fauci and others continue to propagate as they have throughout this whole thing, which is these vaccines will prevent you from catching COVID, that it will prevent you from spreading COVID.

“The fact that it is even a question at this point whether or not to lift this DOD [Department of Defense] mandate, and that Secretary Austin is opposing it is just absolute madness.”

The policy became a point of contention between Democratic and Republican lawmakers during NDAA negotiations, but in a joint statement Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Reps. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), said they were “pleased to announce we’ve come to a bipartisan, bicameral agreement on this year’s National Defense Authorization Act,” The Epoch Times Reported.

This bipartisan group made up of top members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services and the House Armed Services Committee, urged Congress to quickly pass the bill and Biden to sign it afterward.

‘Make no mistake: this is a win for our military’

Republicans celebrated the victory, but cautioned it is only “a first step,” and called on the Biden administration to reenlist the service members discharged under the policy, according to the Washington Post.

“Make no mistake: this is a win for our military,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said in a statement late Tuesday night.

“The end of the vaccine mandate for troops will be a big win, and it’s happening because conservatives stood strong for what we believe in and didn’t back down,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) said.

The Democrats’ decision to compromise on the bill comes just days after the White House and Austin reiterated their support for the vaccine mandate.

“We lost a million people to this virus,” Austin told reporters Saturday, according to The Associated Press. “A million people died in the United States of America. We lost hundreds in the DOD. So this mandate has kept people healthy.”

John Kirby, White House National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications told reporters Tuesday, “The president actually concurs with the secretary that we need to continue to believe that all Americans, including those in the armed forces, should be vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19.”

But some Democrats agreed it may be time for the mandate to end. House Armed Services Chair Adam Smith told Politico last week that he was open to discussing an end to the mandate.

“I was a very strong supporter of the vaccine mandate when we did it, but at this point in time, does it make sense to have that policy from August 2021?” Smith asked.

“The politics on that have changed,” said Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas), another member of the Armed Services panel, according to The Hill. “If this were 2020, it would be a different story.”

The struggle isn’t over: ‘You can’t repeal without repair’

Republicans have called for an end to the military vaccine mandate since it was implemented in August 2021, citing concerns it would harm retention and recruitment of service members and negatively impact the readiness of the U.S. Armed Forces.

In September, a group of 47 Congress members wrote to Austin, urging the Pentagon to revoke the mandate, stating:

“The vaccine provides negligible benefit to the young, fit members of our Armed Forces, and the mandate’s imposition is clearly affecting the Department’s ability to sustain combat formations and recruit future talent.”

Last week, a group of 21 Republican governors wrote to congressional leaders again calling for immediate action to end the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The letter summarized reports by military officials confirming that thousands of service members were discharged following the mandate and the National Guard and the Army missed their recruiting targets by 10% and 25% respectively.

A bloc of GOP senators, led by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced on Nov. 30 that they would stall the defense spending bill in the Senate if there was no vote to end the mandate and reinstate troops.

Paul said the mandate didn’t make sense because the vaccine doesn’t stop virus transmission and it creates an elevated risk of heart inflammation for young people. Many service members have also already had COVID-19, granting them a form of protection against reinfection and severe disease.

Some Republican lawmakers said just repealing the mandate doesn’t go far enough.

“You can’t repeal without repair,” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. “The repair has to be reinstating individuals who want to come back, correcting their records, allowing these individuals who have served honorably to be recognized that way.”

He said this issue will be a primary focus for the Republican House in January.

McCarthy also promised in a statement on Tuesday that when the GOP takes over the House next year, Republicans will “work to finally hold the Biden administration accountable and assist the men and women in uniform who were unfairly targeted.”

Europe Puts Scruples Aside, Imports Record Levels of Russian Liquid Natural Gas

 

Posted BY: Breitbart

NWO Report

The European Union has seen imports of liquid natural gas from Russia rise to record levels this year, sending billions to Moscow while waxing poetic about their support of Ukraine.

Though shipments of natural gas sent via pipelines from Russia to Europe have fallen sharply since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, Europe has ironically turned to Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), a chilled form of the gas that can be shipped in sea tankers, to make up the difference.

According to research conducted by the energy market analysis firm, ICIS for the German business newspaper Handelsblatt found that imports of LNG from Russia rose by 21 percent over pre-war levels to the EU states and Great Britain. The analysis found that between January and November of this year, the EU plus the UK paid Moscow nearly 27 billion euros ($28.4/£23.5 billion) in exchange for the record flows of liquid natural gas.

The European money spent on Russian LNG alone is just under the total aid that EU institutions and member states have sent to Ukraine since the start of the full-on war in February. The Kiel Institute for the World Economy Ukraine aid tracker has found that the EU has collectively sent 29 billion euros in military and financial assistance.

While European nations have been largely successful in filling up their gas storage containers prior to the winter, the true test could start to begin in the Spring. Supplies of liquid natural gas on the open market were artificially higher than normal this year given the reduced manufacturing output of Communist China due to Beijing’s draconian zero-Covid strategy, which has severely impacted production.

Joe Vogler and the Alaskan Independence Party: The Last Secession Attempt in the United States

 

By Nikita Triandafillidis

Modern Diplomacy

The political system in the U.S is characterized by a bipolar system of division between the Democratic and the Republican Party. As a result, independent parties are hardly noticed and barely manage to scrap votes in the elections. However, independent parties in the U.S have been around since the creation of the nation and some of their leaders have gone as far as pursuing secession from  the U.S. Joe Vogler was an Alaskan politician that rallied a major nationalistic movement in Alaska for the state to secede from the U.S.

[…]

Joe Vogler: An Alaskan nationalist from Kansas

Joe Vogler was born on April 24, 1913, in Kansas, U.S. In 1942, he moved to Alaska where he worked as a civilian employee of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers in Fairbanks. Although he graduated with a law degree from the University of Kansas, his move to Alaska demonstrated his humble beginnings and love for a more traditional lifestyle away from the metropolises of America. Besides working construction in military bases, Vogler was involved in the development of real estate and mining in Alaska.

Described by his admirers as a stand-up, no-nonsense man, Vogler started his early nationalist views of an independent Alaska in the early 1970s, where he frequently wrote letters to editors in newspapers, calling for Alaska to secede from the federal government of the U.S. In 1973, he founded the Alaskans for Independence organization to label his petition drive to secede from America. In 1984, he founded the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP), which he led for almost a decade until his sudden disappearance and death in 1993.

The Alaskan Independence Party: Libertarian conservatism at its finest

The Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) gained momentum in the early 1980s when Joe Vogler founded the party with a clear focus on the independence of Alaska from the United States. The ideology of the party is a mix of Alaskan nationalism and libertarian conservatism. It is easy to see where Alaskan nationalism comes from and why it was advocated. As one of the largest states in the U.S, Alaska has immense mineral and oil wealth, with the oil and gas industries being the largest component in the state. Almost 85% of the state budget is supplied by oil revenues. Not to mention that Alaska has an important geopolitical position, being isolated from the continental U.S and sharing a maritime border with the Russian Federation.

The position of Alaska on the world map is a very strategic one and a major advantage in trading, fishing, and mining. Marie Francis, a writer from Southcentral Alaska and a registered member of AIP shares the same views as many Alaskans who advocate for the independence of their state. In her own words as posted in the Anchorage Daily News she describes how beneficial would be the actual secession of Alaska for the people that live there, who many times feel abandoned by the federal government due to their small population.

“As the U.S. engages in trade wars, an independent Alaska would make international trade agreements on our terms. Our geographic position at the top of the Pacific grants us access to Asian and North American markets, and as Arctic shipping lanes open in the decades to come, European markets. Currently, we are relegated to the position of a dejected American outpost, yet almost all air cargo being transported between the United States and Asia flows through Ted Stevens Intl. Airport. Alaska’s economic potential is much greater than what the U.S. allows” (Anchorage Daily News, Marie Francis).

[…]

Margaret Randall, an American writer and academic describes the notion of libertarian conservatism as an expression of personal freedom and individualism, the same ideology that can be found in the early works of Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau was an American naturalist and philosopher, mostly known for his advocacy of individualism and limitation of the power that the American government had at that time. His book Civil Disobedience (1849), argues that any form of progress comes from the ingenuity of the people not from the government, and as a result, the best thing for any government to do is to let the people govern themselves and flourish.

[…]

Joe Vogler’s controversial views and sudden disappearance

Joe Vogler made a couple of unsuccessful bids for public office, with the first one being back in 1974, when he ran for governor of Alaska, only to lose by a large margin to Jay Hammond who represented the Republican Party. After that, in 1978, he tried to run as a lieutenant governor alongside Don Wright, only to lose again to Jay Hammond. He made two last attempts to run as a governor in 1982 and 1986,

[…]

On May 30, 1993, Joe Vogler suddenly disappeared, just a couple of weeks before he addressed the United Nations on the issue of Alaskan independence.

[…]

After a couple of months of unsuccessful attempts to find Vogler, a man called the authorities informing them that a suspicious truck with a bullet hole at the back was seen at Fairbanks at the same time that Vogler disappeared. The man driving the truck was identified and was taken into custody. Manfried West immediately confessed to the murder of Joe Vogler. He claimed that Vogler wanted to buy plastic explosives from him, and when the deal went wrong he shot Vogler and buried him. After almost a year, an anonymous tip revealed the location of Vogler’s body. He was buried in a shallow grave outside Fairbanks. West was convicted of 80 years of prison time and currently serves his time at the Palmer Correctional Facility in Sutton.

[…]

It is important to mention that Vogler managed to gain the support of Iran to sponsor his speech at the U.N. At that time, relations between the two states had deteriorated right after the Persian Gulf War when Iran was accused of trying to replace Iraq as the most dominant power in the Gulf. By 1992, under the Bush Administration, Congress had passed the Iran-Iraq Nonproliferation Act, sanctioning specific materials that could be used for the development of advanced weaponry. As a result, Iran’s support to Joe Vogler would have been an embarrassment for the U.S if he managed to speak at the podium at the U.N.

[…]

Vogler was accused by many, of being a socialist, and people in D.C were worried that his views may find support back in Moscow, who could seek to find an opportunity to have closer relations with an independent Alaska.

The Alaskan Independence Party today and the future of independent parties in the U.S

In 1990 … Wally Hickel, businessman and AIP member was elected governor of Alaska on the Independence Party ticket, making the AIP one of the few third parties that had managed to hold public office in the U.S.

[…]

Today the Alaskan Independence Party remains the third most powerful party in the state of Alaska. According to its official website, AIP now has almost 19.000 registered members, nearly 25% of the size of the Democratic Party in Alaska.

Rise of the East Asian Tigers

Currency speculator George Soros tried to crush 12 Asian tigers simultaneously in 1997

Episode 47: Rise of the Asian Tigers

Foundations of Eastern Civilization

Dr Craig Benjamin (2013)

Film Review

China

In 1972, four years before Mao’s death, Nixon sought to capitalize on the split between the Soviets and Chinese[1] by re-opening relations with China for the first time in 23 years.

A five-year power struggle following Mao’s death in 1976 meant his successor Deng Xiaping only assumed paramount power in 1981. It fell to Deng to gradually transform China into a quasi-capitalist state, through what he referred to as the Four Modernizations (agriculture, industry, science and technology and defense).

Deng reformed government-run collective agriculture by allocating land to groups of 30-40 families. Any surplus produced could be sold on the open market. Because Mao’s Cultural Revolution had virtually destroyed China’s professional and managerial class, Deng sent tens of thousands of students overseas for professional training. He also opened China to foreign investment, leading to a surge in development in mainland coastal areas. When the British returned Hong Kong to China in 1997, Deng enabled it to continue as a major economic hub by granting it “special status.” [2]

In December 2001 after China joined the WTO, massive trade expansion produced 10% annual growth rates for nearly two decades. By 2011, they would become the second largest economy in the world. I was disappointed in Benjamin’s failure to mention China’s unique approach to money creation, which is a far bigger factor in their massive economic growth. Unlike Western countries, where 97% of money and credit is created by private banks, in China money creation is managed by China’s central bank as a public utility. [3]

Benjamin does mention that as of 2013 China dominates the world in terms of technological development, including clean energy (with the double the US investment in clean energy).

South Korea

According to Benjamin, South Korea experienced similar dramatic economic growth as China. However what he fails to mention is the role of massive US military and economic aid during US military occupation (which didn’t end until 1994 – see link).

Japan

Benjamin also marvels at Japan’s economic miracle. Here again, thanks to $2 billion in US economic aid, By 1949, the Japanese economy had returned to pre-war levels by 1949. He fails to mention the CIA installed war criminals to run Japan’s postwar government and secretly funded single party rule (by the Liberal Democratic Party) from 1949-63. See The Long US War Against the Third World

Benjamin does credit Japan’s extremely low wages, in part, for its economic success. However he fails to mention the role of its dictatorial government in violent suppressing unions and wages.

He does acknowledge that US military occupation of Japan continues (there are still 23 US bases there, despite growing popular opposition) despite US occupation “officially” ending in 1952. As a condition of surrender, Japan agreed to abolish its armed forces, as well as a “mutual defense treaty,” whereby the US would provide its military defense.

He also mentions how Japan “spiraled into recession” in the 1990s (from which it never recovered) though it continues to be the world’s largest economy. He blames Japan’s recession on overpopulation and difficulty accessing key resources. In my view, a more logical explanation is that China could offer cheaper labor to Western factories seeking to move their factories to low wage Asian economies..

Other Asian Tigers

Benjamin mentions other Asian economies who became economic “tigers,” although he fails to mention the role of low wages in luring Western manufacturers to shut down their factories and move to Asia. Or the role of authoritarian anti-labor policies in keeping wages low.

Indonesia [4]Thailand [4]Taiwan [4]MalaysiaSingapore

My biggest disappointment with this lecture Benajamin’s failure to mention currency speculator George Soros’ attack on the currencies of South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong (which was still a British colony), Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Brunei and Vietnam. This move virtually collapsed the economies of South Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand. See https://www.winton.com/longer-view/east-asian-crisis-1997

[1] And distract from negative Watergate coverage (Benjamin doesn’t mention this).

[2] Hong Kong is governed by its own provincial council (selected by the mainland government).

[3] In Western countries, the main purpose of money creation is to increase profits. In China money is created to be spent into the economy for industrial and other social and economic needs. See https://mronline.org/2022/07/02/economist-michael-hudson-on-inflation-and-fed-plan-to-cut-wages/

5 Takeaways From Fauci’s Deposition in Social Media Censorship Lawsuit

By Zaccary Stieber

The Epoch Times

The 446-page transcript, released Monday, of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s deposition in a lawsuit alleging he and other Biden administration officials colluded with tech companies to censor social media content raises questions about Fauci’s involvement in orchestrating an official, government-sanctioned COVID-19 narrative.

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s , taken as part of a lawsuit alleging collusion between the U.S. government and Big Tech to censor people, was released on Dec. 5.

The 446-page document shows the questioning of Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser. Fauci was under oath on Nov. 23.

Here are some takeaways:

Fauci relied on others to dismiss lab leak theory

Fauci said he did not have the expertise to determine whether COVID-19 came from nature or a laboratory, despite repeatedly dismissing the theory that it originated in a Chinese lab.

“I am not qualified since I am not an evolutionary virologist to make any kind of definitive determination about whether a genome could or could not be a laboratory construct or experimentally manipulative,” Fauci said at one point.

“I have relied, as anyone would, with highly qualified, respected evolutionary virologists to come to that conclusion or not.”

Portions of the deposition dealt with a paper released in early 2020 as a preprint and later published following peer review by Nature Medicine.

Kristian Andersen and other scientists claimed that they analyzed genomic data and that “our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”

Fauci held a secret phone call with all of the authors of the paper just weeks before it was published — some of the authors before the call expressed in since-released emails that they thought the virus did not come from nature — and has since acknowledged receiving multiple drafts of the document prior to its publication.

Kristian Andersen, the lead author, told Fauci at one point, “Thank you again for your advice and leadership.”

Fauci said in the deposition that he had “very little” to do with the paper and that he did not recall making any “substantive comments” to the authors regarding the paper.

Confronted about press conference

Despite having communicated repeatedly with the authors, Fauci said he couldn’t recall their names during a White House press conference in April 2020.

“There was a study recently that we can make available to you where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences there and the sequences in bats as they evolved. And the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human,” Fauci said at the time, at the prompting of then-President Donald Trump.

“So the paper will be available. I don’t have the authors right now, but we can make that available to you,” he added.

Fauci said he did not make the paper available to any reporters after the press conference but was then presented with an email showing that he did.

“I don’t recall it,” Fauci said, after reading the email.

Says he didn’t advocate for censorship

Shortly after Fauci’s comments, Big Tech companies began censoring people who suggested COVID-19 came from a lab, including an Epoch Times reporter.

Facebook and other Big Tech firms also later cracked down on the Great Barrington Declaration, a document offering an alternative way to approach the pandemic, after Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins, the head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the time, spoke out against it.

Internal emails showed Fauci and Collins conspiring to rebut the declaration. The NIH has directed people questioning the opposition to Wikipedia.

Fauci noted that he does not have social media accounts and insisted that he did not call for censorship.

“No, I have not,” Fauci said when asked whether he’d asked a social media company to remove misinformation. He also said that, to his knowledge, none of his staffers had.

According to emails produced in the case, the government communicated with Big Tech concerning the removal of multiple accounts they said were pretending to be Fauci.

Twitter removed an account and company officials said it would “freeze” similar handles to try to prevent impersonation, while Facebook removed accounts on both Facebook and Instagram.

“I was not aware that they were flagging many accounts, but from looking at this, they are trying to get rid of fake accounts because fake accounts are bad things, I believe,” Fauci said.

“To my knowledge, they don’t get involved in trying to influence social media in any way. But when someone impersonates me, I think it’s totally appropriate for them to be concerned about that.”

Fauci was later shown an email that showed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases officials were trying to connect to Google “on vaccine communications, specifically misinformation,” and that a meeting was planned. He said he wasn’t sure whether the meeting ever took place.

Concerned about misinformation

Fauci said that he was concerned about misinformation and disinformation, and believed that such information could lead to the loss of life.

“I think in any situation where egregious misinformation such as some of the ones I referred to before, such as information that would discourage people from getting vaccinated, that in my mind, would be a way that life that could otherwise have been saved would be lost, if people were persuaded not to pursue a life-saving intervention,” Fauci said.

Asked if he thinks steps should be taken to curb misinformation and disinformation, he demurred.

“That’s not my area. I’m very well aware of the concept of freedom of speech. The area of the curtailment of that is something that is not in my area of expertise. Those are legal and other things. And I really don’t have any opinion on that,” he said.

Fauci said he favors open debate and, generally, the best way to combat misleading and false information is to “flood the system with correct information.”

But he also said: “I think honest debate is important, but when it goes beyond debate and leads people who are unwitting about these things to do things that are clearly detrimental to their life and their safety, I find that disturbing. How you mitigate against that, I would leave to other people.”

Daughter worked for Twitter

Fauci has been in touch with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and appeared several times in Facebook Live videos with Zuckerberg.

Fauci said that his discussions with Zuckerberg “were very clearly directed at getting me on some Facebook podcast to encourage people to get vaccinated” and that they went no further.

Fauci was asked whether he knows anyone who works for a social media company, besides Zuckerberg.

[…]

“Well, a person who used to work as a software engineer for Twitter was my daughter,” Fauci said.

Fauci said he never discussed with his daughter the content posted on social media or the origins of COVID-19.

UK Warnings About Threats to Food Security

 

Fair Deal Food

As fuel and fertiliser costs soar, farmers get only a tiny share of the retail price for their produce

VIDEO: Egg shortage due to unfair supermarket prices – not avian flu: Farmers Guardian, subscribers only

Farmers Weekly reports that food and farming groups are dismayed at the wafer-thin margins left for primary producers once everyone else in the food chain has taken their share of the cash.

A new report from food and farming alliance Sustain, Unpicking Food Prices has considered a range of products commonly found on supermarket shelves and examined where the available profit goes.

Two examples: a pack of four beefburgers with a retail value of £3.50 only returns a net profit of 8.7p, the researchers estimate, while a block of Cheddar cheese, worth £2.50, generates just 3.5p in profit.

While average retail prices have risen from £2.05/kg in 2017 to £2.20/kg in 2022, farmgate returns have slumped from 60p/kg to 40p/kg over the same five-year period

But the lion’s share is kept by the retailer with farmers left to pick up the crumbs – just 0.1p from the burgers and 0.05p from the Cheddar cheese.

Head of sustainable farming at Sustain, Vicki Hird, says this demonstrates the imbalance in the food supply chain “Farmers hold a disproportionately high amount of the risk when it comes to producing food, but receive a disproportionately low amount of the reward, reflecting their relative weakness in the supply chain.”

Ms Hird should contact Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller, former chief of MI5 the country’s security service, who says that security of food supplies would fit within the government’s own definition of national security. She believed this meant strengthening domestic supply (FT):

“Several people [have] said that [food security] was about just getting a secure food line from somewhere else . . . I’ve interpreted it differently.

“We have a hope that we will continue to get food from our nearest neighbours as we get energy from them . . . The more we can be self-sufficient, the better chances we have of withstanding price hikes, spikes, shocks and so on — and politics.”

The NFU today focussed only on the price of inputs and the need to import labour but they, the government and the former chief of MI5 need to become aware of the risk to food security posed by low returns from supermarkets as farmers’ costs soar.

Florida to Hold Vaccine Makers Liable Over mRNA Claims

Posted BY: Bill | NwoReport

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida wants to hold vaccine makers liable over claims about the mRNA shots that DeSantis said aren’t true.

Huge.

"I am going to be working with @FLSurgeonGen to hold these vaccine manufacturers accountable. They made claims about the mRNA vaccine that wasn't true, and people were injured as a result." – @GovRonDeSantis pic.twitter.com/7RnLkKPRsI

DeSantis made the announcement during a Republican Party of Florida event on Saturday, according to American Greatness.

While the federal government has given vaccine manufacturers immunity over harm from the Covid-19 shots, it appears Florida is looking into persecuting the makers over false advertising claims or through other similar avenues.

“We did a study in Florida and we saw an 86 percent increase in cardiac-related activity in people ages 18 to 39 from mRNA shots and so we’re going to be doing some stuff to bring accountability there,” DeSantis said, according to AG.

The study likely involved Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, whom DeSantis said he was keeping for his second term.

Dr. Ladapo, a frequent target in the media despite his Harvard education, has been skeptical about the efficacy of Covid-19 shots.

“His evidence-based principles serve as a counterweight to the increasingly political positions of the entrenched medical establishment, especially on schools, masks, and mRNA shots,” DeSantis once said about Ladapo.

In fact, the recently-released deposition of Dr. Anthony Fauci reveals the medical establishment’s own flip-flopping when it came to mask mandates, for example, which indicates the media attacks against Ladapo are motivated by politics more than anything.
