When Germany’s Social Democrats – the junior governing coalition partner – renewed long-standing calls for withdrawing U.S. nuclear bombs from the country, the backlash from Washington was fast and furious.
In spite of India’s perceptible economic and social development, the caste system still obstructs and isolates the section of its population, the Scheduled Caste (SC) also called as Dalits and Scheduled Tribes (ST). The Dalits, who form around 16.6 per cent of Indian population[1], undergo systemic discrimination, and excluded from the development process even after 72 years of independence is[Read More...]

The point I am trying to make here is a simple and obvious one, or would be in a society not burdened with a two-pronged ideology of extreme militarism and extreme individualism. It is this: In feeding the military-industrial complex so richly at this time, we are starving ourselves of many vital things and weakening ourselves as a society, perhaps to the point of suicide. We are in effect sacrificing our future on the altar of American imperialism, which like some dark god of the past, is ever hungry and can be assuaged only by human life.

I was at the local supermarket yesterday, walking down aisles and of course disobeying the fucking "arrows" laid out on the floors (I will not conform to stupidity..) and as I was going down the dairy aisle, there was someone stopped in front of the cooler so I walked right by him.... That person then raised their head and screamed "You are not practicing Social Distancing". I turned my head around and just glared at the guy and then walked away shaking my head...

Diehard Swedes is a short film about how the country of Sweden managed its Coronavirus ‘crisis’, as it worked to diminish the threat of the virus by keeping society and economy open and pursuing a goal of ‘herd immunity’ – a strategy considered risky by many, but not the Swedes. Critics claim that it was wrong based on its higher death rate than its Scandinavian neighbours, but are they correct?

As more data showing the real COVID fatality rate continues to pour in from serological studies, along with shocking economic figures – it’s now clear that any governments still clinging to lockdown policies are in danger of reaping a massive public backlash due to their continued panic-driven policies. On all fronts, the fallout from the lockdown is only beginning. Meanwhile, governments are quietly drifting out trial balloon projects for mandatory coronavirus vaccinations, and not everyone is happy about it. All this and more.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its recommendations for school reopening, including encouraging daily temperature checks and/or symptom checking, face coverings for all staff and children over two, desks spaced six feet apart, staggered schedules, no cafeteria or playground use, installed partitions and physical barriers, no field trips, no toy sharing, and restrictions on outside visitors, including parents.

As the western nations continue to hobble through the COVID ‘pandemic’ after a self-imposed lockdown of their national economies, it’s fast becoming clear that the propaganda construct of the the ‘New Normal’, is the hypochondriacs wonderland of eternal social distancing. It is panic and paranoia – in itself a preposterous false construct fashioned by technocrats and social engineers to tighten control of society.

Do you know who coined the curse, “conspiracy theory” or accusation, “you are conspiracy theorist!” – It was nobody less than the CIA in the 1950s, to silence those who saw through the lie of the Cold War against the Soviet Union. This was a complete lie by US war strategists, to install fear in the population in general and in Europeans in particular and to boost the American Military Industrial complex – and presenting a constant threat to the communist Soviet Union.

Washington is picking yet another fight with China. On top of the trade war we now have the coronavirus war. China is accused of being responsible for the virus by withholding information about it. Some in Washington want to make China pay for the cost of the virus by reneging on US debt held by China in the form of US Treasuries.
