Twitter reverses censorship of Florida’s Surgeon General after backlash

By Christina Maas

Reclaim the Net

Twitter has reversed its censorship of Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo after public backlash.

Ladapo was censored by the platform after he posted a tweet advising men between the ages of 18-39 to avoid the Covid vaccine as it had, he alleged based on a study, been found to cause an 84 percent increase in death rate for that group.

Ladapo’s statement and report were released on Friday, with the Surgeon General adding Florida “will not be silent on the truth.”

The published guidance “recommends against the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for males ages 18-39 years old.”

Ladapo said that “Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health. Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals have been dismissed – these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians.”

Twitter removed the post by the public official, claiming the tweet violated “Twitter rules.”

However, the post was reinstated on Sunday after backlash from the public.

“This is an unacceptable and Orwellian move for narrative over fact,” said Bryan Griffin, the governor’s press secretary, in a further tweet.

US Troops in Dispute with Their Terrorist Mercenaries in Syria

By Steven Sahihounie

Global Research

The US-employed terrorists, Maghawir al-Thawra (MaT), have turned against their partners, the US Army, stationed at al-Tanf base in the eastern Syrian desert.  On October 4, the terrorists, who are employed as mercenaries by the US military, attempted to break out of the illegal US base using a large-caliber machine gun on the pickup truck they were driving.  However, their break out was thwarted by the Syrian Arab Army who hold positions nearby and returned fire causing the MaT to retreat into the US base.

Russian Major General Oleg Yegorov, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, reported the incident on Wednesday.

The US military had cordoned off al-Tanf base in the 55-kilometer deconfliction zone, shut down the internet, and ordered all mercenaries to lay down their arms and leave the base at once on foot.   On September 27, to reinforce the message, US coalition aircraft flew over the area and broke the sound barrier to drive home their insistence that mercenaries who refuse US military orders must leave.

The military council of the MaT has rejected the US military’s decision to remove the former commander of the MaT and replace him with a man who is not a member of the MaT.  The US-employed terrorists stated, “… that it rejects any foreign intervention in the appointment of its revolutionary leadership.”  The MaT must not have understood that when you are on the payroll of the US military you are obliged to follow their orders. Equally, the US Army must not have understood that when you partner with Radical Islamic terrorists you cannot expect them to follow orders.  As the saying goes, “When you feed a monster, it can turn to bite you.”

Al-Tanf is an illegal US military base in Homs province on the M2 Baghdad–Damascus Highway in the Syria-Jordan-Iraq border triangle.  The outpost began in early 2016 under the command of the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR).  The MaT consists of at least 300 terrorists partnered with at least 200 US troops.  The Syrian government has demanded the US leave its occupation of several bases in Syria.

According to Israeli defense sources, al-Tanf hosts around 350 military personnel and civilians, “including some British and French forces that were described as ‘intelligence experts.”   CNN reported in August 2022, that there are approximately 900 US troops in Syria, with most of them split between the al-Tanf base and Syria’s eastern oil fields.

On September 29, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights sources reported that dozens of residents gathered near al-Tanf base to protest the coalition’s decision and called on its command to appoint any other officer from the faction instead of an outsider.

The previous leader

Brigadier General Muhannad al-Talaa was removed from his position by the US-led coalition late last month.  The former colonel, who defected from the Syrian Arab Army, was the founder of the MaT in 2016. Without explicitly charging al-Talaa with any crimes, local speculation points to the former commander’s involvement in instances of corruption, weapon and drug trafficking, and other violations.

Sources say he was removed from his command because he had traveled to Turkey, where he has family living, and while there met with Turkish Intelligence officials.  This would be an obvious violation of the chain of command in US military protocol and would border on spying charges.

However, the same sources point to al-Talaa’s dismissal of corruption, smuggling weapons, and drug trafficking crimes.  Al-Talaa worked with a core of corrupt terrorists within MaT, and if they were exposed by the US forces red-handed for weapons and drug smuggling, he would arrange for them to lay low for a period, and then he would engineer their return to full pay in the MaT.  Al-Talaa became an expert at manipulating the system whereby every six months there is a change of American officers at al-Tanf.

Jordan had demanded that the US remove al-Talaa from command of the MaT, but their pleas were not heeded until now.  The Jordanians became aware that it was al-Talaa and his group of criminal terrorists who were in control of the drug trade plaguing Jordan. This became a security threat to Jordan and its war on drugs. During al-Talaa’s final meeting with Jordanian military intelligence officers, they directly accused him of being a drug dealer.  They had arrested Abu Hamza al-Khudair, a well-known drug dealer, who admitted that al-Talaa was aware of the drug smuggling to Jordan.

Jordan formally cut off humanitarian support to the Rukban refugee camp next to al-Tanf because of al-Talaa’s drug trafficking, but he remained in his post until he was recently removed.

The new leader

Al-Talaa was replaced by Muhammad Farid al-Qassem, a former captain who defected from the Syrian Arab Army and formed the al-Qaryatayn Martyrs Brigade with support from the US.

Al-Qassem, who is a violent radical, has never been a member of the MaT. According to people from the al-Qaryatayn area, his hometown, he is a “cruel person” and will not be suitable to manage the civilians living in desperate conditions in the squalor of the Rukban camp.

A former MaT commander at al-Tanf said, “There are suspicions that al-Qassem is also involved in smuggling operations through his deployment points.”  The media source close to the coalition agreed, adding that the new commander is also accused of involvement in “a murder and other violations.”

Sources close to the base thought that al-Qassem was chosen because he is an outsider, and will not support the criminal activity his predecessor was involved in, and the Jordanians would accept working with him. However, he has a troubled past with the US military when he was kicked out of the Pentagon training program in 2017 for violations.  After that, he began working with the CIA on another program that dealt with terrorist training for the US-led coalition and American military forces in Syria.

The Wisdom of Crowds

The Wisdom of Crowds

By James Surowiecki

Anchor Books (2005)

Book Review

This book confirms what I have believed for more than two decades: namely that groups (given the right circumstances) always make better decisions than individual experts.

The book opens by describing the famous 1906 experiment by Darwinian eugenicist Francis Galton which unwittingly disproved his own theory (that only a “well-bred” few were capable of governing) in which he asked fairgoers to guess the weight of an ox.*

Surowiecki describes three types of problems groups are asked to solve:

Cognition problems – those that have or will have definitive solutions (who will win the Super Bowl, where’s the best place to build a new swimming pool)Coordination problems – those that require people to coordinate their behavior others (students looking for the best parties to crash, drivers seeking to avoid freeway congestion)Cooperation problems – getting diverse people to work together even when individual self-interest dictates they shouldn’t (paying taxes, dealing with pollution).

Groups perform best in solving cognition problems. According to Surowiecki the value of expertise in Western society is over-rated. Two specific examples he gives are investment advisors, who (except for Warren Buffet) consistent fail to outperform the market and psychologists, who are worse at predicting violent behavior than the general public.

The Wisdom of Crowds stipulates that for groups to make good decisions they must meeting the following criteria:

They have rules to maintain order and coherence.They’re diverse (to enhance perspective and preserve independence of opinion).They’re not too big.They’re independent – the best way for a group to be smart is to encourage each person to be as independent as possible.They don’t expect people to modify their individual position to make everyone else happy.

The books gives numerous examples of groups that have made good decisions and a few that have made disastrous ones. My favorite example is the old TV game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, in which contestants who asked the studio audience for help had a 91% chance of being right (in contrast to a 65% chance when they asked an expert).

The worst decision in the book is the Mission Management Team decision (not to investigate potential heat shield damage) leading to the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster. According to Surowiecki, it was based on a common error (failing to preserve member independence) small groups make in solving cognition problems.

Examples of effective group work in solving coordination problems are the Linux open source operating system** and the decentralized assembly lines adopted by most US car manufacturers.

Examples of effective group work in solving cooperation problems are paying taxes and keeping sidewalks free of snow. Despite all their anti-tax rhetoric, Americans are much less likely than European to evade paying tax.

The book includes an extensive discussion on the absence of good group governance in US corporations, which Surowiecki feels has a negative effect on their productivity. I found this section less useful, in that it makes some naive assumptions about Wall Street being a “free market.”

For example, this section focuses mainly on manufacturing without mentioning that the preponderance of US manufacturers moved their plants overseas between 1970 and 2000. Likewise it makes no mention (in discussing Wall Street bubbles) of the role of the Federal Reserve in flooding Wall Street with cheap credit nor of corporate CEOS buying back company shares to artificially increase share prices.

*The group average was only off by one pound,

**First introduced in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, the software code on which Linux operates is freely accessible to all users and open to suggestions for improvement via the Free Software Foundation.

 

 

 

 

What If the Truth Never Comes Out

Julie Ponesse

Epoch Times

This is the question that seems to be on the minds of many these days.

The attempt to reach “zero-COVID” was a colossal failure. Original claims of mRNA vaccine efficacy have reportedly been shown to be based on falsified data. Excess mortality is spiking across the globe. And the Canadian government finally admits they have a multi-million dollar contract (pdf) with the World Economic Forum for Traveler Digital ID. What was fiction and then conspiracy theory is now reality.

Many believe we are approaching a tipping point, that we are on the verge of a revelatory storm, that the truth is finally coming out.

And yet most people still believe in the narrative, still cling to the idea that lockdowns and masking were necessary and effective, that their questioning friends are unstable “anti-vaxxers,” that government is noble and mainstream media unimpeachable. And from the files of the truly unfathomable, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is now urging doctors to prescribe drugs and even psychotherapy to their noncompliant patients. The tipping point is hardly a sure thing.

What if we never reach it? What if the guilty are never held to account? What if we forget only to transgress again and again?

Anecdotes of the harms of the last two years are palpable but ignored. Patients complain of symptoms their doctors won’t acknowledge. Citizens tell stories the media ignores. Family members try to open dialogue only to be shut down. The stories are told but, for the most part, they aren’t being heard.

I recently interviewed Trish Wood who moderated the Citizens’ Hearing about the harms of our public health response to COVID-19. She wrote that, a week later, she still felt shaken by the magnitude of what she heard: the damage done to careers, families, and children by the blinkered approach of public health experts. She heard the stories of doctors who were silenced when trying to advocate for patients, people whose lives were forever changed by vaccine injury, and, most tragically, stories of those like Dan Hartman, whose teenage son died following mRNA vaccination.

Trish wrote powerfully about the importance of taking account of embedding the acknowledgment of these harms in our collective moral conscience. Her words are, dare I say, reminiscent of Elie Wiesel’s.

In the aftermath of the Holocaust, at a time when the world was so morally injured, so eager for a new start, Auschwitz survivor Elie Wiesel saw it as his responsibility to speak for those who had been silenced. At a time when most could not bear to remember, Wiesel could not bear to forget. He wrote:

“I believe firmly and profoundly that whoever listens to a witness becomes a witness, so those who hear us, those who read us must continue to bear witness for us. Until now, they’re doing it with us. At a certain point in time, they will do it for all of us.”

Weisel’s words are hauntingly poignant for our time.

Those who tell the stories of the injured knowing they will be ignored, who advocate for patients only to be censured, who highlight the children who have died by suicide rather than from COVID-19 only to be silenced do it because they believe that a cry in the dark will eventually be heard. And even if it isn’t, they feel obligated to testify on behalf of those who can’t speak for themselves.

I apologize if my reference to Nazi atrocities offends you. My aim in making the comparison is not to be irreverent but purposeful. True, the atrocities of our time are not identical to those of 1930s and ’40s Europe. But they don’t need to be to learn important moral lessons from them. Wiesel’s promise of “never again” was not just to past victims of atrocities but to all future victims as well.

This is how the battle will be fought now, whether the truth about the last two years will be dragged into the open or revised into oblivion. We are already seeing backpedaling among our officials, whose mishandling of the pandemic is undeniable.

But that is beyond my point. We have relied for too long on institutions to do the remembering for us, to generate moral responsibility on our behalf. In the era of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, personal accountability has been trained out of us. We were taught to believe that institutions would act as our surrogate moral conscience, taking account and making apology for us. I don’t deny the importance of collective responsibility. But sometimes moral injury is personal, done by individuals to one another, and the accountability needs to happen in kind.

There are few who are not personally complicit in the harms of the last two years. And the temptation to put on the armor of the bystander is powerful, to say we weren’t involved, that we “had no choice.” But complicity is a form of moral action, sometimes the most powerful there is.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if our moral slate could be wiped clean, if we could be absolved of all the hurt we have caused? But this doesn’t honor the truth, and it’s not the way we exercise our humanity.

What if the truth never comes out?

It may not.

But if it doesn’t, it shouldn’t be because we ignored those crying out to us, because we stood behind a shield of compliance and deference. The road back to freedom, unity, and reconciliation starts with testimony and accountability, and we need to take those painful first few steps now.

After Major Backlash, PayPal Says It Won’t Seize $2,500 From Users if They Spread ‘Misinformation’

NWO Report

Posted BY: Cristina Laila

After major backlash, PayPal reversed course and said they will not be fining people $2,500 for spreading ‘misinformation.’

In its newly updated policy, PayPal announced it will begin fining users $2,500 directly from their accounts if they are found to be spreading “misinformation.”

In 2020, PayPal changed its policy and users were compelled to agree to a $2,500 PayPal fine if they violated the PayPal acceptable use policy.

On September 26th, the financial service announced some changes to certain agreements.

Trending: The First Shots of Nuclear War Have Been Fired!

Starting November 3, 2022, PayPal is expanding the existing list of prohibited activities to include the sending, posting, or publication of messages, content, or materials under its Acceptable Use Policy.

“Violation of this Acceptable Use Policy constitutes a violation of the PayPal User Agreement and may subject you to damages, including liquidated damages of $2,500.00 U.S. dollars per violation, which may be debited directly from your PayPal account(s) as outlined in the User Agreement,” said PayPal.

Users will be subject to a financial penalty if they violate the revised policy in any way, including by spreading false information, engaging in discrimination against the LGBTQ community, posing a risk to user safety, and so on.

The company reversed course after major backlash.

“An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information. PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy. Our team is working to correct our policy pages. We’re sorry for the confusion this has caused,” PayPal said in an email to the Epoch Times.

The Trouble with ‘Western Values’ is that Westerners Don’t Value Them

By Caitlin Johnstone

Have you ever noticed how those who shriek the loudest about tyranny in foreign countries are always the same people calling for the censorship and deplatforming of anyone who criticizes the western empire?

It’s a ubiquitous mind virus throughout western society. Anyone — and I do mean anyone — who aggressively and consistently criticizes the foreign policy of the US and its allies in front of a sizeable audience gets branded a Russian agent by empire apologists, and this consensus is accompanied by the steadily growing opinion that Russia’s operatives and useful idiots should be banned from western platforms.

Defenders of the western empire won’t admit to wanting all empire critics silenced, but that’s what you get when you combine (A) the fact that they view everyone who criticizes the empire with sufficient aggression as a Russian agent with (B) their opinion that those given to Russian influence ought to be censored. Whenever I criticize the foreign policy of the western empire I get its apologists telling me I’d never be allowed to criticize my rulers like that if I lived in a nation like Russia or China, when they know full well that if it were up to them I wouldn’t be allowed to criticize the western empire here either. They are the same as the tyrants they claim to despise.

The trouble with “western values” is that westerners don’t value them. They think they value them, but all that reverence for free expression and holding power to account with the light of truth goes right out the window the second they see someone saying something that sharply differs from what their rulers and their propagandists have told them to think. Then they want that person silenced and shut down.

In truth, the most forceful critics of the western empire actually embody these western values infinitely more than empire apologists do. It is the critics of empire who value free speech and holding the powerful to account. It’s the brainwashed bootlickers of the US-centralized empire who are calling for censorship and shouting down anyone who directs fierce oppositional scrutiny toward the most powerful people in the world.

People tell me “Move to Russia!” or “Move to China!” depending on what aspect of the empire’s global power agendas I happen to be criticizing at the moment, and I always want to tell them, no, you move to Russia. You move to China. You’re the one trying to suppress dissent and criticism of the powerful. I’m the one who is living by western values as they were sold to me and demanding normal scrutiny of the most powerful empire that has ever existed. You don’t belong here.

In school we are taught that our society values truth, free speech, equality, accountability for the powerful, and adversarial journalism, then we grow up and we see everyone rending their garments because institutions like CBS News or Amnesty International let slip one small report which doesn’t fully comply with the official line of our rulers. We see Russian media banned and censorship protocols expanded to the enthusiastic cheerleading of mainstream liberals. We see astroturf trolling operations used to mass report and shout down those who scrutinize the establishment line about Ukraine on social media. We see Julian Assange languishing in Belmarsh Prison for the crime of unauthorized journalism.

It’s obvious with a look around that the “western values” we’re all told about are not actually terribly common in the west. Look at the west’s major media platforms and they virtually never platform anyone who is meaningfully critical of the real centers of power in western civilization. Look at western governments and they continually dance to the beat of oligarchy and empire regardless of how people vote in their supposedly free democratic elections. Look at the internet and it’s actually very difficult to find authentic criticisms of imperial power unless you already know where to look.

Some of us bought into those western values we were taught about in school, but it’s not the people you’ve been trained to expect. It’s we marginalized outsiders who are adamantly opposing censorship, propaganda and the empire’s war on the press while continuously working to shine the light of truth on the mechanisms of power from the fringes, while we are being yelled at and accused of treason by mainstream sycophants who have far more in common with the autocrats they claim to oppose than with the western values they purport to uphold.

Scientific American Issues Severe Warning on 5G

Terence Newton
Waking Times

In a recently published article entitled, We Have No Reason to Believe 5G is Safe, Scientific American (SciAm) magazine issued a stern warning about the known and potential dangers of 5G technology.

Of particular significance is the fact that SciAm is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States, founded by inventor and publisher Rufus M. Porter in 1845, and running monthly since 1921. It is a highly influential publication, widely reputed for its rigorous scientific standards, and lauded by today’s fact-checkers as highly credible and staunchly pro-science.

In the article, University of California, Berkeley public health researcher Joel M. Moskowitz argues that 5G, along with previous w-fi and cellular technology, is much more harmful than the government and telecomm industry wants the public to believe.

His primary concerns center around a recent FCC announcement, made in a press release, that the FCC is close to reaffirming the radio frequency radiation (RFR) exposure limits that were previously adopted by the commission in the 1990’s… well before the introduction of 5G, 4G, 3G, 2G or even WiFi.

In short, the safety standards that the FCC wishes to maintain are severely outdated and fail to reflect the growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating harm.

Moskowitz notes that the ’90’s exposure limits only address the singular concern over the potential effects of the intensity of exposure to RFR. With the research we now have available the health concerns are much broader, including a sincere risk of cancer, among other things.

“The latest cellular technology, 5G, will employ millimeter waves for the first time in addition to microwaves that have been in use for older cellular technologies, 2G through 4G. Given limited reach, 5G will require cell antennas every 100 to 200 meters, exposing many people to millimeter wave radiation. 5G also employs new technologies (e.g., active antennas capable of beam-forming; phased arrays; massive multiple inputs and outputs, known as massive MIMO) which pose unique challenges for measuring exposures.

 

Millimeter waves are mostly absorbed within a few millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea. Short-term exposure can have adverse physiological effects in the peripheral nervous system, the immune system and the cardiovascular system. The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (e.g., melanoma), the eyes (e.g., ocular melanoma) and the testes (e.g., sterility).

 

The FCC’s RFR exposure limits regulate the intensity of exposure, taking into account the frequency of the carrier waves, but ignore the signaling properties of the RFR. Along with the patterning and duration of exposures, certain characteristics of the signal (e.g., pulsing, polarization) increase the biologic and health impacts of the exposure. New exposure limits are needed which account for these differential effects. Moreover, these limits should be based on a biological effect, not a change in a laboratory rat’s behavior.” ~Joel M. Moskowitz, Scientific American

Moskowitz also cites the the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which elaborates on the now-known dangerous effects of RFR:

“Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.” [Source]

Moskowitz points out that,”the scientists who signed this appeal arguably constitute the majority of experts on the effects of nonionizing radiation. They have published more than 2,000 papers and letters on EMF in professional journals.” Inviting readers and policy makers to consider the weight of more than 500 peer-reviewed research studies finding, “harmful biologic or health effects from exposure to RFR at intensities too low to cause significant heating,” Moskowitz believes that more rigorous studies are necessary before the rollout goes forward.

In other words, the scientific jury is already out on the harmful effects of RFR, and the FCC is flat-out derelict in its duty to put public safety above telecomm industry interests.

Regarding the propaganda dimension of this debate, Moskowitz addresses the fact that industry spokepersons and related government officials frequently refer to contrarian viewpoints as ‘fear-mongering,’ pointing out that the current scientific research is legitimate, leaving the scientific community with a genuine responsibility to speak out about these concerns.

“The telecommunications industry and their experts have accused many scientists who have researched the effects of cell phone radiation of “fear mongering” over the advent of wireless technology’s 5G. Since much of our research is publicly-funded, we believe it is our ethical responsibility to inform the public about what the peer-reviewed scientific literature tells us about the health risks from wireless radiation.” ~Joel M. Moskowitz, Scientific American

Final Thoughts

Cracks are showing in the government and telecom industry’s blanket assertion that 5G is safe, and many prominent and influential scientists, dignitaries, and organizations are now speaking out against 5G – the global human experiment without consent.  For the editorial board of Scientific American to run a piece this condemning 5G is a very strong signal that even the most mainstream elements of the scientific community are genuinely concerned.

US Figure: From 10 million Jabbed, 770,000 Needed Medical Care

By Mark Sharman

News Uncut 

Cracks everywhere in narrative – but MSM continues to bury its head

THE wall of defiance and secrecy that protects the Covid jab narrative is crumbling so fast that one can see right through to the deceitful heart of this medical scandal.

To quote Leonard Cohen: “There’s a crack in everything – that’s how the light gets in” and thank God for that.

The latest beam of truth comes from American lawyer Aaron Siri, who revealed some damning statistics in an interview with Fox News.

Siri has been trying to force the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to release data on jab side-effects. After 463 days and two law suits, he finally has the figures.

And they are shocking.

Of 10million users on the CDC’s V-Safe system, 7.7 per cent had to seek medical care after vaccination.

He says: “That’s an incredible percentage, it seems to me.”

It is simple maths. No less than 770,000 people required medical treatment after the Covid jab from a sample of just 10m. On top of that, 25 per cent – or two and half million – took time off from work or school after an injection.

The population of America is 330m and most States have pursued an aggressive jab policy, so just how much damage has really been caused? Their VAERS system is currently showing more than 30,000 reports of jab-related deaths; it is highly plausible that this represents an underestimate by a factor of 10, at least.

Of course, none of the above has been reported in UK mainstream media which, GB News excepted, remains wilfully blind to the mountain of evidence.

News Uncut has been consistent with concerns over one-sided news reporting, together with the suppression of opposing opinions in MSM and social media, the labels of ‘misinformation’ and the cancelling of eminent voices who dared to speak out.

The Trusted News Initiative, “an industry collaboration of major news and global tech organisations working together to stop the spread of disinformation,” is at the heart of this censorship and, shamefully, the BBC is a prominent participant along with Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube, to name just some. They have pronounced the facts and denied any counter argument, any fair debate.

In the recently released film Safe and Effective: A Second Opinion, the BBC was asked what happened to impartial reporting, balance and free speech. They refused to comment.

Now the Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications at the United Nations, Melissa Fleming (below), has admitted that the UN partnered with several big tech companies to control Covid and climate narratives while claiming “We own the science”.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Sustainable Development Impact meetings, Fleming told a panel on Tackling Disinformation that the UN had partnered with Google so that ‘authoritative’ narratives would appear at the top of search results.

Meanwhile, a judge in America has ordered the White House to release emails between various federal Agencies and Big Tech companies, with the paintiffs alleging collaboration over the suppression of free speech and information on Covid and the associated jabs.

Hidden History: Link Between Opus Dei, Western Intelligence and Child Trafficking

Opus Dei: Faith, Power and Manipulation

DW (2021)

Film Review

The video below is a sanitized vanilla-light documentary on Opus Dei. The latter was propelled to wide public attention by Dan Brown’s 2003 book The Da Vinci Code and the 2006 movie based on the book. Contrast it with the classic 1983 Mother Jones article “Thy Will Be Done,” and the 2019 ISGCP article linked in the last paragraph.

The documentary poses more questions than it answers. According to DW, Opus Deis was  founded by Catholic priest Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer in Navarre Spain in 1928. Escriva and his followers strongly supported Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, who rewarded Opus Dei with powerful positions in his fascist government. In the 1960s, Franco’s Opus Dei-linked finance ran Spain’s central bank.

According to several unnamed sources, Opus Dei still has significant influence over the Spanish government, especially the departments of Education, Justice and Banking. It’s also believed to control the Spanish judiciary, with 1/3 of all Spanish judges and prosecutors linked to the group. One former Opus Dei member filmmakers interview blame this influence on Spain’s failure to change its political structure following Franco’s death (1975) or to hold anyone accountable the atrocities committed by his government.

Opus Dei presently has 90,000 members globally: 30,000 in North and South America, 10,000 in Africa, Asia and Oceania, 35,000 in Spain, 4,000 in Italy and 600 in Germany.

Under the organization’s current structure, 2% are priests, 10% are “numeraries” (who live monastic-style lives in Opus Dei residential centers), and the rest “supernumeraries” (allowed to marry and lead private lives).

The lapsed Opus Dei members featured in the film complain bitterly about its cult-like structure, bullying, harsh rules and pressure to recruit new members.

They also talk about the organization’s immense wealth and links with global elites at the highest level. Opus Dei runs numerous schools, universities, hospitals, business schools and foundations, mainly in Spain and the US. The vice president of the European Bank and a Spanish judge on the European Court of Human Rights are allegedly linked to Opus Dei.

The 1983 Mother Jones article Thy Will Be Done  tells a very different story, as does a 2019 article by the  Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics. The former reports on longstanding collaboration between Opus Dei and Anglo-US intelligence (eg in death squad activity in Latin America). The latter is based on an extensive 1986 Belgian police report linking Opus Dei to high level politicians and officials, western intelligence, elite child trafficking networks.

FDA, CDC Urge All Adults to Get 5th COVID Shot Despite No Safety or Efficacy Data

By  Dr. Joseph Mercola

The emergency authorizations of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s bivalent COVID-19 boosters are based on preliminary test results from only eight mice, and that data hasn’t even been made public.

Story at a glance:The emergency authorizations of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s bivalent COVID-19 boosters are based on preliminary test results from a grand total of eight mice, and that data hasn’t even been made public.Based on the antibody response in eight mice, the Biden administration has ordered 171 million doses of the two boosters.A reanalysis of data from the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine trials found that combined, the jabs were associated with a risk increase of serious adverse events of special interest at a rate of 12.5 per 10,000 vaccinated. Meanwhile, the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization was only 2.3 per 10,000 participants for Pfizer and 6.4 per 10,000 for Moderna.According to a recent risk-benefit analysis of a third booster for university students, for each COVID-19 hospitalization prevented, the booster will cause 18 to 98 serious adverse events.A number of top officials with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health reportedly have serious concerns about the direction we’re going in, yet are too afraid to speak out or push back.

On Aug. 31, the FDA authorized the reformulated COVID-19 bivalent booster shots by Moderna and Pfizer — all without the required convening of its Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), which would typically discuss or vote on the authorization or approval of a new vaccine.

Instead, the FDA pushed the matter before the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP.

ACIP met for eight hours on Sept. 1 and authorized the untested boosters 13-to-1.

CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky endorsed the recommendation later that evening.

Pfizer’s new booster, authorized for people age 12 and older, is a bivalent injection targeting Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, which are the two currently in circulation.

Moderna’s shot, authorized for adults only, aged 18 and older, targets the already extinct Wuhan strain and Omicron subvariant BA.1.

The two bivalent boosters are only available to those who have already received the primary two-dose series and/or a monovalent booster at least two months ago.

Safety and efficacy assumed based on mouse data

As explained in “What They’re Not Telling You About the New mRNA Boosters,” the emergency authorization of these reformulated boosters is based on nothing more than preliminary test results from a grand total of eight mice, and that data hasn’t even been released to the public.

In an Aug. 30, article, Science explained the makeup of the reformulated boosters:

“Both the Pfizer-BioNTech collaboration and Moderna make their vaccines from messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The new vaccines are bivalent.”

Half of the mRNA codes for the spike protein of the ancestral virus strain that emerged in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, which is also in the original shots; the other half codes for the spike protein in BA.1 or the one in BA.4 and BA.5, which have identical spikes …

For the BA.4/BA.5 boosters, the companies have submitted animal data.

They have not released those data publicly, although at the June FDA meeting, Pfizer presented preliminary findings in eight mice given BA.4/BA.5 vaccines as their third dose.

Compared with the mice that received the original vaccine as a booster, the animals showed an increased response to all Omicron variants tested: BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5.

The companies say clinical trials for the BA.4/BA.5 vaccines will begin next month; they need clinical data both for full approval of the vaccines — their recent submissions are only for emergency use authorization — and to help develop future updates.

Presumably, they will measure recipients’ antibody levels, but not the vaccine’s efficacy against infection or severe disease. Such trials are very expensive and were not done for the BA.1 shot either.”

FDA and CDC rely on assumptions, not actual data 

A key take-home here is that efficacy against infection and severe disease has NEVER been ascertained. Those trials were not done for the original shot, and won’t be done for the reformulated boosters.

Yet the efficacy of these boosters is assumed and declared as having been “proven” based on the original trials.

Talk about a circular argument!

It’s just assumptions piled upon assumptions. Yet, based on the antibody response in eight mice alone, the Biden administration has now ordered 171 million doses of the two boosters.

Let’s not forget that the mice actually did get infected with Omicron, although we don’t know to what degree, since they haven’t released the data. For all we know, the mice may have had a good antibody response, got sick and then dropped dead.

What’s more, the monovalent Pfizer booster authorized for children aged 5 to 11, back in May, was based on the antibody levels of just 67 children.

So, when the FDA claims the original human trials were exhaustive and have conclusively proven the shots are both safe and effective, they’re flat-out lying.

In addition to apparent fraud being committed, and the fact that they eliminated the placebo groups midway, those human trials won’t even be finalized for another two years or so, as all clinical trials require follow-up.

All we have are preliminary analyses, and Freedom of Information Act released documents clearly show Pfizer has been less than transparent about adverse effects, as they mislabeled and dismissed almost all of them.

A reanalysis of data from the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccine trials found that, combined, Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 jabs were actually associated with a risk increase of serious adverse events of special interest of 12.5 per 10,000 vaccinated.

Meanwhile, the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization was only 2.3 per 10,000 participants for Pfizer and 6.4 per 10,000 for Moderna. So, again, the risk-benefit is crazy lopsided AGAINST the shots.

Repeat boosting can destroy your immune function

Aside from the risk of immediate adverse effects of these experimental gene transfer injections, there’s also the issue of immune destruction through repeat exposure.

A number of scientists have warned that repeated injections appear to be breaking down people’s immune systems.

As noted by independent journalist Rav Avora:

“The European Medicines Agency has warned against the potential adverse immunological effects of repeated boosting every four months.

“As Dr. Marty Makary from Johns Hopkins has noted, recent research shows a ‘reduced immune response against the Omicron strain among people previously infected who then received three COVID vaccine doses compared to a control group that previously had COVID and did not have multiple shots.’

Public health officials go along to get along

Sadly, a number of top officials within the FDA, CDC and the National Institutes of Health reportedly have serious concerns about the direction we’re going in, yet are too afraid to speak out or push back, so the death toll keeps mounting.

In a July 15 Substack article, Makary and Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg shared the following:

“The calls and text messages are relentless. On the other end are doctors and scientists at the top levels of the NIH, FDA and CDC. They are variously frustrated, exasperated and alarmed about the direction of the agencies to which they have devoted their careers.

“‘It’s like a horror movie I’m being forced to watch and I can’t close my eyes,’ one senior FDA official lamented. ‘People are getting bad advice and we can’t say anything.’

“That particular FDA doctor was referring to two recent developments inside the agency. First, how, with no solid clinical data, the agency authorized COVID vaccines for infants and toddlers, including those who already had COVID. And second, the fact that just months before, the FDA bypassed their external experts to authorize booster shots for young children …
