Whenever the topic of UFOs and Aliens is raised during recent times the responses are as fascinating as they are predictable. For quite a few such fanciful prattle is pure fictional nonsense espoused by the gullible and deceitful, while for even more there are varying degrees of acceptance that often spills over into unquestioning reverence. For some they are technologically advanced devils<strong>,</strong> others see them as being angelic and for many they see nothing at all. The reality is every reaction has nothing to do with the evidence accumulated by each person, but is all about their free will.</p> <p>                 Of course, when it comes to an indistinct object moving in the sky, there is some room to negotiate as to whether it is a planet, frisbee thrown in the air, weather balloon, drone, swamp gas, secret flying object made by humans, due to photo-shopping or tricks of the light are all permanent and extremely convenient offerings.

Remember when ANZAC Day was a day of unity? This so-called Prime Minister has decided its time to divide us. The sick left will stop at nothing.

The joke channel.

A wonderful service. Congratulations to the Australian Government and The Australian Army, brilliantly done. Lest We Forget.

Every year its the same, where the nation stops to commemorate the perils of war, right?

Nope!

Only a few hours are set aside, an inconvenience to those who are at the lowest level of Maslows Hierarchy of Needs.

After all thats what Australia is all about, the economy.

Got to keep those mice turning that wheel perpetually.

You, the corporate fodder (or more appropriately known as consumers) have to keep spending, to keep the economy going, their economy.

Youre told not to hoard (old terminology; save up) cash in order to purchase a television or vehicle, but rather get a loan for it to keep the banks and financial institutions profiteering from usury (refer to the Statute of the Jewry) on the fruits of your labour, a modern day accepted form of slavery.

But isnt hoarding what the global elite do? 

They amass vast sums of cash, lock up art in private collections, and even keep stolen artefacts from their thieving ways, the British monarchy as just one example.

Whats not important on ANZAC Day?

For you to know that what is known as World War I, was actually a cousins war, where the offspring of the serfs were seen as cannon fodder and thus put in their appropriate use case scenario for the entertainment and financial gain of the global elite.

True sociopaths are in control.

Whats more disgusting is that people accept this, but then again, the majority of people are not supposed to think.

Im Dienst von US-Interessen

Um die Folgen eines etwaigen Krieges gegen China fr das eigene Land in den Blick zu nehmen, hat krzlich die Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Australiens ffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunkgesellschaft, vier erfahrene Insider befragt, die im Lauf ihrer Karriere jeweils Fhrungspositionen in den politisch-militrischen Hierarchien des Landes innehatten, an militrischen Operationen beteiligt waren und Einsicht in Papiere smtlicher Geheimhaltungsstufen nehmen konnten. Es handelt sich um Professor Hugh White, einen ehemaligen stellvertretenden Staatssekretr fr Strategie und Geheimdienste im Verteidigungsministerium; Admiral Chris Barrie, 1998 bis 2002 Oberbefehlshaber der Streitkrfte; Allan Behm, einst Leiter der Abteilungen fr Internationale Politik und Strategie im Verteidigungsministerium; und Professor Clinton Fernandes, Ex-Militrgeheimdienstler. Alle vier sind fest berzeugt, dass die Vereinigten Staaten im Fall eines Krieges gegen China auf einer Beteiligung Australiens bestnden und dass sich die Regierung in Canberra dem nicht entziehen werde. Behm beklagt ausdrcklich eine fundamentale strategische Pathologie des australischen Establishments, US-Interessen auf Kosten unserer eigenen Interessen zu untersttzen.[1]

Bestenfalls ein militrisches Patt

Alle vier von der ABC befragten Experten stimmen zudem darin berein, dass die Vereinigten Staaten einen Krieg gegen China nicht gewinnen knnen. Das deckt sich mit den Resultaten zwar nicht aller, aber doch einer Mehrheit der sogenannten war games in den USA, bei denen Denkfabriken, Regierungsmitarbeiter und Militrs konkrete Kriegsszenarien durchdeklinieren.[2] Die Experten weisen darauf hin, dass sowohl die USA als auch China ber immense High-Tech-Militrapparate verfgen. Haben die US-Streitkrfte im Gegensatz zu den chinesischen umfangreiche Erfahrung mit dem Fhren von Kriegen, so knnen die chinesischen Streitkrfte daraus Vorteile ziehen, dass sie auf oder nahe dem eigenen Territorium kmpfen mssten, whrend die US-Truppen riesige Nachschubwege ber den Pazifik zu bewltigen htten. Kme es zu einem Abnutzungskrieg wie in der Ukraine, knnte China zudem auf seine erheblich greren Streitkrfte setzen. White urteilt, er sehe keine glaubwrdige Chance fr Amerika, einen Krieg mit China um Taiwan zu gewinnen. Behm differenziert dahingehend, dass er im Fall eines Krieges, der in den nchsten fnf bis zehn Jahren begnne, als bestes Szenario fr die USA ein Patt prognostiziert, whrend er mit Blick auf Chinas rasante Aufrstung urteilt, nach 2035 sei ein chinesischer Sieg ber die USA das wahrscheinlichere Ergebnis.

Dramatische Verluste

Was die konkreten Kriegsszenarien anbelangt, sind sich die Experten uneinig. Whrend White davon ausgeht, ein Waffengang zwischen den USA und China werde sich vorrangig auf See abspielen, rechnet etwa Fernandes eher damit, dass China Taiwan blockieren knne; die....

He was always a step ahead, his mind geared not only for the next move, but the next sequence. He also smelt it, anticipated the audience reaction, shaped the prejudice in context for consumption. and enraged audiences with his polymathic, panoramic reach.

The genius of the late Barry Humphries first took root in Britain, along with a flowing of other Australian expatriates who had made Blighty their home. It became evident in Britains most famous, remorseless panner of reputation and issue, the satirical magazine Private Eye, that weedkiller of inflated reputations. There, another genius of comedy, Peter Cook, understood a kindred spirit. At Cooks suggestion, Humphries ran a comic strip that made him famous and eventually found celluloid expression: The Adventures of Barry McKenzie.

The reception of the comic strip in Australia, with its slang-fluent, rough protagonist stomping through the Mother Country, was a foretaste of things to come. Compiled in three book collections, the first two were banned by the Customs Department under the Customs Prohibited Import Regulations. The silly justification was section 4A, which prohibited the importation of works and articles deemed blasphemous, indecent, or obscene, or unduly emphasising matters of sex, horror, violence or crime, or are likely to encourage depravity.

The harebrained nature of this measure, one that could only have been appreciated by Humphries, was that selections from Private Eye, including Barry McKenzies Naughty Night, were already available in the country in the 1965 publication Penguin Private Eye.

Her Dame Edna Everage (Mrs Norm Everage to some) act, hewn from the dull, insular terrain of Moonee Ponds in Victoria, was always going to be an uneven sell for home audiences. In the sex-suppressed Anglosphere, with its hypocrisies of gender, control and concealment, it was brilliant, a poking, full frontal display of the bigoted housewife giving bigotry a lengthy outing.

The bricks of the mythmakers are now being assembled, an effort to build a mausoleum of deception. Always be suspicious of the he was much loved by all tag; they usually have a fair share of aggrieved, envious enemies.

There are, however, clues in the coverage. Humphries was a comedy export read, not palatable in straitlaced, monochrome Australia, a bit too salty, or gamey, for local consumption. He tested his various alter-egos the barely tolerable Edna, the monstrous, dribbling Sir Les Patterson and so forth on foreign soil. (Rarely mentioned in tributes is his more complex,...

Market and labor in market are crucial questions both to capital and labor. The questions have been discussed and answered by economists, from the mainstream, and also from the camp of labor.

Markets, writes Michael D. Yates in his Work Work Work: Labor, Alienation, and Class Struggle (Monthly Review Press,  2022), act as a veil, hiding the face of the system. They are impersonal mechanisms, which allow us to use them without knowing what is underneath.

Yates elaborates the issue: We buy goods and services and are thereby dependent on those who produce our food, clothing, shelter, and services of every kind. However, we simply exchange money for them. And as the Romans said, Pecunia non olet. Money has no smell.

He shows the argument employers use to defend self-interest: Employers say that they pay the market wage. If it is too low for survival, that is no fault of the boss.

Bosses never coerce

Bosses are always faultless! They define whats right and whats wrong, what rights are and what goes beyond rights, what should be enforced and what shouldnt be. Its now an old, well-known fact: In former times, writes Marx, capital resorted to legislation, whenever necessary, to enforce its property rights over the free laborer. (Capital, vol. I, Progress Publishers, Moscow, erstwhile USSR, 1977) He cites example from 1815: The emigration of mechanics employed in machine making was, in England, forbidden, under grievous pains and penalties. That, pains and penalties, was faultless, no fault by the bosses. There was no coercion; bosses never coerce. This story of pains and penalties isnt told today.

Coercion-free arrangement

This faultless, coercion-free arrangement and environment is also present today, in countries, in markets, in labor markets, in varied forms, which is overlooked tenaciously. The Roman slave was held by fetters, as Marx again tells another fact, the wage-labourer is bound to his owner by invisible threads. (ibid.) So, whats now told is whats called the push and pull factors: Peasants t...

A former sales account manager describes pitching Bitcoin with a focus on influencing perspectives while maintaining honesty and integrity.

This is an opinion editorial by Source Node, a former sales account manager with a background in training and industrial-organizational psychology.

When I pitch Bitcoin to a relative, to a friend or to a complete stranger in the bathroom stall next to me, they will inevitably ask, "How is this benefiting you? Are you going to make money from me buying bitcoin?"

In one sense, the honest answer is yes, but my main objective is actually to alleviate suffering.

Will any single investor buying bitcoin make my bitcoin increase in value? Not unless I'm convincing a hyper-rich communist sympathizer like Charlie Munger to hop onboard. The average investor buying $1,000-worth of BTC is not going to change the price of bitcoin. In fact, even a very wealthy investor allocating $100 million may not significantly change the price of bitcoin. In that sense, I am not benefiting directly from convincing individuals to buy bitcoin at all.

However, given the early stage of adoption that we are currently experiencing, the asymmetric upside of investing in bitcoin today has the potential to turn a relatively-small investment into life-changing financial security. For this reason, the motivation to pitch Bitcoin to people I care about is greater now than it will be in the future. The potential future which Bitcoin enables for myself and for society is the primary driving force behind my participation in the network. The prospect of living in a world of abundance, voluntary behavior and geopolitical cooperation is becoming more achievable by the block. I wish to benefit from the transition to that world and I wish for those whom I love (as well as random strangers I encounter) to benefit from it as well.

I know I am not the only one who holds this view. It seems to be a natural inclination for nearly every Bitcoiner to compulsively pitch Bitcoin to their friends, relatives and acquaintances. Unfortunately, I have seen many people become exhausted with these pitches. This exhaustion seems to slow down adoption more than support it, which indicates to me that some of what I have...

Lying is a common human behaviour that has been around for centuries. People lie for various reasons, such as to avoid punishment, gain an advantage, or protect their reputation. However, lying can have serious consequences, especially when it comes to trusting others. In this essay, I will explain why you must never trust a liar, the types of people who lie, why people lie, and why it is dangerous to believe the lies of a liar. I will also answer the question, "Can a liar ever tell the truth?"

Why You Must Never Trust a Liar?

Lying is a breach of trust, and trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. When someone lies to you, they are essentially saying that they do not respect you enough to tell you the truth. This lack of respect can lead to a breakdown in the relationship, as the liar m...

Last August, a U.S. federal research misconduct watchdog announced findings that a longtime researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles named Janina Jiang faked data in 11 grant applications. 

More than a month later, the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) issued a rare correction to its announcement, saying additional information from UCLA indicated that one of the grants did not fund or contain falsified/fabricated data. The watchdog agency said it would remove the application in question from its findings of research misconduct. 

The grant, UL1 TR000124, helped fund the UCLA Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) with $57 million from 2012-2015. The listed principal investigator, Steven M. Dubinett, is the interim dean for UCLAs David Geffen School of Medicine. 

At the time of the correction, we wondered how a report that would have had to be reviewed by multiple officials and lawyers at both institutions could include such a mistake, and filed public records requests to find out.

A Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID: An Attack on Science and American Ideals

By Robert Kennedy Jr.

A leading Democrat challenges his party to return to liberal values and evidence-based science
 
Democrats were the party of intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and faith in scientific and liberal empiricism. They once took pride in understanding how to read science critically, exercising healthy skepticism toward notoriously corrupt entities like the drug companies that brought us the opioid crisis, and were outraged by the phenomenon of agency capture and the pervasive control of private interests over Congress, the media, and the scientific journals.
 
A Letter to Liberals is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s, challenge to lockdown liberalisms embrace of policies that are an affront to once cherished precepts.

An open letter signed by 126 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, health, legal, community and human rights organisations today reiterated calls to Attorneys-General to stop jailing 10 year old kids and raise the age of criminal responsibility to at least 14 years old, with no exception.

No child should grow up in prison in Australia. Last week, the Victorian Government disappointingly announced their intention to raise the age of criminal responsibility to 12. Raising the age of criminal responsibility to at least 14 with no exceptions is the absolute bare minimum to be in line with medical expert advice and international standards.

Evidence from brain development experts state that criminalising the actions of kids under 14 can cause serious long-term problems. But if provided with the care, support and treatment that they need, children can rehabilitate to live healthy and connected lives.

Locking up children behind bars does not work. Communities have the solutions to keep kids engaged and connected. Governments should stop funding new youth prisons and instead fund community-led solutions which keep the community safe and have better outcomes for children.

The calls by 126 organisations echo the support of 120,000+ people in Australia, as momentum grows across the country to raise the age of criminal responsibility in line with international UN standards.

State and territory Attorneys-General will meet on 28 April for the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG), marking five years since they first began investigating whether to raise the age of criminal responsibility. A report, which Attorneys-General delayed releasing for over two years, was finally made public last year and recommended raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 with no exceptions.

The report was prepared in 2020 with input from state, territory and Commonwealth justice departments and informed by over 80 public submissions made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, medical and legal experts, and human rights organisations which all called for the age to be raised to 14.

This Friday, Australia can finally stop playing politics with children. We call on Attorneys-General to raise the age of criminal responsibility to at least 14, with no exceptions.

Cheryl Axleby, Co-Chair, Change the Record: 

"If the Victorian government announces an increase to the age of criminal responsibility to 12, it will not make any real difference to the already high and unacceptable rates of Aboriginal youth overrepresentation in the legal system.

All the best

ANSWER: Oh yes. I tend to collect important relics from major economic events.  The sinking of that ship set off a financial panic in NYC because the banks were counting on that gold shipment. I did buy bars. There were some 30,000 pounds (13,600 kg) of gold and about 15 tons were recovered.

They are a piece of history. I would not melt them down.

Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson today spent nearly two and a half hours at a weekly town hall Zoom of the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) expressing her views and answering numerous audience questions.

Medea Benjamin (cofounder of both CODEPINK Global Exchange) and Nicols Davies (independent journalist, a researcher for CODEPINK) write about the leaked Ukraine documents (LA Progressive 19 April 2023), which, among other disclosures of military action around the world, reveals the failing war strategy of the United States and the inability to win this proxy war. The leaks also reveal estimates that the war is not going particularly well for Russia. This might be partially true, but based on assumptions of what the Russian strategy is. Benjamin and Davies do not comment on this part. Their focus is on the role of the United States involvement, including actual military presence in Ukraine, the encouragement of corruption, and the fact that this is not something new. They call on Washington to tell the truth. After first making headlines, these leaks revealed by a whistleblower, have been quickly suppressed, and it is vital to mot allow the this to continue.

The U.S. corporate medias first response to the leaking of secret documents about the war in Ukraine was to throw some mud in the water, declare nothing to see here, and cover it as a depoliticized crime story about a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman who published secret documents to impress his friends. President Biden dismissed the leaks as revealing nothing of great consequence.

What these documents reveal, however, is that the war is going worse for Ukraine than our political leaders have admitted to us, while going badly for Russia too, so that neither side is likely to break the stalemate this year, and this will lead to a protracted war beyond 2023, as one of the documents says.

Chile has been on an interesting and positive arc in recent years. Left-wing politician Gabriel Boric won the presidency there, representing the first big shift to the left since the fascist Pinochet took over in a US-backed coup in 1973. Theyre currently working on a number of reforms, and are trying to negotiate a new constitution, to replace the one from the Pinochet era. One big change that was just announced was a plan to gradually nationalize Chiles lithium industry. They intend to honor existing contracts, but to have more direct government involvement in new ones, with the intent of bringing more of the profits to the Chilean people, and eventually producing lithium-based products in Chile, rather than only selling raw lithium. From the Associated Press:

Boric, who spoke Thursday on a national media network, said the state will participate in the entire lithium production cycle in a public-private collaboration that the government will control.

Any private company, whether foreign or local, that wants to exploit lithium in Chile must partner with the state, he said.

Chile has the worlds third largest lithium reserves, at 9.6 million tons, behind Bolivia with 21 million and Argentina with 19.3 million, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. But Chile was the worlds second largest producer last year with an estimated 39,000 metric tons, after Australia, with 61,000 tons.

Boric wants to create a National Lithium Company to partner with private companies, but he conceded that likely will not happen quickly because it would require support from an absolute majority in both houses of Congress, which is fragmented among a variety of parties.

In the meantime, he said, the state National Copper Corporation will sign agreements with private parties for lithium extraction.

Currently, there are two companies that mine lithium in Chile: the U.S. company Albemarle and Chiles Chemical and Mining Society (Soquimich), which has been controlled for three decades by Julio Ponce, whose father-in-law was the late dictator Augusto Pinochet. Boric said Ponces contracts will be respe...

IMF Predicts Fall in Economic Growth in Africa

Ndea Yoka, host of Business Africa and Catherine Patillo, Deputy Director of the Africa Department at the IMF.

By Ndea Yoka

 21/04 - 11:57

Sub-Saharan Africa is facing a major financing shortage that threatens the region's growth, the International Monetary Fund warned in its report on the region's economic outlook.

The organization also warned that public debt is further delaying the region's economic recovery.

"Policymakers should stay the course of prudent monetary policy tightening."

Catherine Patillo, the deputy director of the Africa Department at the IMF answered questions from Africanews.

Senegal: Religious celebrations marked by inflation

While the country's economy is experiencing a sharper-than-expected slowdown according to IMF forecasts, Senegal is facing worrying inflation. It has reached 9.7 percent in 2022, its highest level in decades.

This situation is due in particular to soaring food prices. An unbearable increase for most Senegalese households, especially during the holiday season. A report by Wahany Johnson in Dakar.

Libya: promoting date exports

Date producers in Libya would like to export their abundant harvests, however, they face various challenges that slow down their hopes for emancipation.

The regions of Wahat, and Awjila are known for producing large quantities of dates, which reach 150,000 tons per year. The problem is that much of this fruit is destroyed or used as animal fodder due to poor marketing.

An educator recalls three times she was able to help strangers better understand Bitcoin out in the wild.

This is an opinion editorial by Tali Lindberg, co-founder of Free Market Kids, a company focused on financial literacy and Bitcoin education.

My husband and I decided to become Bitcoin educators because we passionately believe that Bitcoin is a money standard everyone should know about. However, it can be very discouraging sometimes when most people see us as religious, cult evangelists who they should avoid or only politely tolerate.

But then, out of the blue, Ill experience amazing conversations with people who are ready to hear what we have to say. They are just waiting to find someone to discuss Bitcoin who can help them understand it better.

This article describes three such encounters Ive had in unexpected places. As the saying goes, (slightly modified), When the student is ready, the teacher (me) will be sent to them.

One: GoDaddy Tech Support

A few months ago, when my husband Scott and I were just starting our financial-literacy- and Bitcoin-focused organization Free Market Kids, we had a lot of trouble getting our website to work correctly. I spent hours with tech support through various service providers. During this incident, I called GoDaddy support and was instructed to reboot my computer.

While we were waiting for the computer to do its thing, instead of sitting on the line in silence, I began to chit chat with the support guy about where he was located, the weather, etc. Pretty soon, we were asking each other about our work and life experiences.

He asked, So, what is Free Market Kids?

Well, we teach people about Bitcoin and money with our board games, I answered.

Bitcoin! Sighing deeply, he continued, I sold mine years ago.

He explained that, early on, he had been persuaded by his friend to mine Bitcoin. When the price went up, he got excited and sold all his bitcoin because he needed the cash for something.

And now, he lamented, Im watching the bitcoin price go up like crazy, and I cant believe I blew my chance!

I asked him what he knew about Bitcoin, aside fr...

I was stunned by the final two paragraphs of Peter Simons report No Evidence that Psychiatric Treatments Produce Successful Outcomes. In a viewpoint article in JAMA Psychiatry, the authors claimed that there is no system like Medicare collecting standardized data that is tracking changes in outcomes over time, and therefore we have no way to assess whether outcomes are continuing to improve.  They define the target outcomes as the prevention of undesirable events, such as death and disability, and the achievement of desirable ones, such as remission.

They appear to ignore the abundant existing evidence that, on those specific targets, modern psychiatric treatment appears to lead to worsening outcomes.  Like religious faith that often stands more firmly when faced with contradictory evidence, clinging to their belief that their treatments are beneficial, they dont take up the serious challenge posed by evidence of worsening outcomes.  Instead, they write as if the problem we have is a lack of a system that can chart how our treatments are continuing to improve outcomes.

Though there is no evidence of outcome improvement from the existing treatments and considerable evidence of the opposite, rather than questioning their use, we just need a system that can help us improve their efficacy.  Stunning!

Earlier, I wrote a piece, In Defense of Placebo Psychiatry, in which I tried to see things from a prescribers point of view.  Feeling there was no defense for this apparently willful misunderstanding, I de...

This series is about Russell Pridgeon, MD, and his difficulties, trying to survive the legal system after he was unfairly charged with a crime.  His crime in the eyes of most of us at Gumshoe News is that he went against the system. And what system is that? Ill give it a name: System KK (for kid kidnap).

As Dee McLachlan had spelled out in many articles, Australia almost uniformly follows System KK. And here is how it works.

1. A man is abusing kids.
2. Then he abuses his own offspring.
3. The wife calls a hotline or reports it somehow.
4. The man runs to court to ask for full custody (!)

Russell Pridgeons case is directly about System KK. Here in Part 2 of the series, my question is: Why does such a system not get thrown overboard? Year after year, it gets supported by all authorities, be it a judge, a caseworker, a prosecutor, or an attorney-general. Woe is our society!

Here at GumshoeNews, I published Part 1 of this series on April 19, 2023.  (Thats quite a woo-woo day in some circles, April 19th.) In the Comments, Rachel Vaughan offered us a Rumble video that listed many alleged perps who are/were high up in Australian society. No fewer than five Australian Prime Ministers came up on the screen while another two got honorable mention (for taking funding from Epstein). The implications of this seem huge. They must think that System KK is fine and dandy &...

All of the globalist policies over the last three years are driving toward one thing, mass depopulation. Yes, they want to kill us. Until you understand that, you will never understand whats going on. You will never make sense of it.

I know its a hard pill to swallow, but reject it at your own risk. Those who live in denial will get duped, again. Many of those duped the first time lost their lives, or ended up with life-long health issues. Some even offered their children to the military-biomedical-security complex.

I like to revert back to the analysis done by Deagel Corp. in 2014, forecasting massive global population declines out to the year 2025, especially in Western countries.

Deagels founder was a military contractor who had sources well positioned in the deep state. The Deagel Corporation is an offshoot of US military intelligence which collects data for high-level decision-makers and prepares confidential briefing documents for agencies like the National Security Agency, the United Nations and the World Bank.

According to the Deagel forecast, Americas population would plummet from just over 310 million in 2017 down to just 99 million by the end of 2025. Western European nations, especially the U.K. and Germany, were forecast to see similarly drastic decreases in population, as were Canada and Australia.

If the Deagel calculations turn out to be even close to accurate, the most unsafe places to live over the next three years will be the United States, Canada and the U.K., followed by Germany, Australia and the rest of the E.U. nations. This population forecast was so controversial, showing population reductions of 68.5 percent in the United States (from 2017 levels) and between 25 and 70 percent for almost every Western European country, that the study mysteriously disappeared from Deagels website in March 2021.

But not all areas of the world will continue to decline. Some will actually have larger populations by 2025, according to the Deagel forecast. The safest places to be living would appear to be Central and South America, China and Africa. Interestingly, Russia came in as neutral, not gaining or losing population.

Is this Deagel forecast map a prediction of who will win World War III?

Soylent Green was a 1973 film starring Charlton Heston. Set in an overpopulated world of 2022 beset by food shortages, Heston plays a New York detective who discovers in the course of a murder investigation that the food on which the population subsists is made from highly processed human corpses.

QUESTION: You have suggested that we will end up at war with China, Russia, North Korea, and even Iran simultaneously. How does Socrates conclude such an event that perhaps never happened in the past?

ER

ANSWER: Your assumption that such a thing has never happened is not correct. Periods of war of this nature unfold like a contagion of the flu. The English Civil War (1642-1652) which ended with the beheading of the King in 1649 was instigated using religion as the rallying cry.

In France, there was also an uprising that dramatically interrupted monarchy in 1648 by the uprising of a series of challenges to the absolutism of the King that came to be known collectively as the Fronde.  The Fronde (1648-1653) plunged France into civil disorder.  The king was even driven from his capital as several provinces revolted. This was a revolution demanding a right to participate in government. When the Fronde ended, the king was restored to absolute royal authority.

Of course, the Fronde may not have changed the French system of government, but it set the stage for the final French Revolution. Nevertheless, the American Revolution then spread with that spirit to overthrow monarchy becoming the France Revolution in 1789.

Throughout history, if we correlate the civil uprisings and forget about the claimed cause, we will see an amazing correlation. Throughout Europe, there was the communist revolution that spread to all the countries in 1848. When you allow the computer to correlate the world, what pops up is that the same Communist Revolution spread to Spanish Latin America, with Revolutions that appeared in New Granada that led to the fall of the government there.

Looking closer, you will see in Brazil there was the Praieira Revolt between 1848-1852. You also see the Mexican-American War, which was also in part inspired by the Battle of the Alamo (February 23 March 6, 1836).

If we look closely, we will see that 1848 was aworld revolution for revolutions broke out almost simultaneously in fifty countries from Europe down to Brazil. This era created resentments that lingered beyond domestic revolution and international war jus...

Twenty years ago, Noam Chomsky published a bestselling book called Hegemony or Survival. Since then, the stark choice he posed has only become more urgent. Depending on how humanity responds to the challenges of ecological destruction and imperialistic war, in the coming decade that terrifying question Hegemony or survival? may well be answered.

Modern history shows that the most dangerous periods are when two or more great powers are struggling for hegemony. The eighteenth century in Europe was a time of multipolarity, as Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia were almost continually at war, competing for geopolitical advantage and to divide the continent between them. The conflicts escalated in the era of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, as a mighty France, bursting with revolutionary energy, strove for absolute dominance against, in the end, Britain and Russia.

The 1815 Congress of Vienna led to a century-long balance of power presided over by an industrializing Britain, which soon became the supreme world power. Once industrialization swept the rest of Europe, however, particularly Germany, Britains power began to be challenged, not only in the Scramble for Africa but in Europe itself. German elites wanted their country to be the next Britain, and to a great extent it was their desire for hegemony that precipitated both world wars.

Since 1945, the United States has been virtually a global hegemon. As John Ross notes in the recently published Washingtons New Cold War, even at the height of its relative economic achievement in the mid-1970s, the Soviet Unions GDP was only 44 percent of the U.S.s. The Soviets had vast power in their limited sphere encompassing Eastern Europe and Central Asia, but they were not a capitalistically expansive, dynamically growing imperial power in the mode of the United Statesor, more recently, of a resurgent China. Chinas GDP is 74 percent of the U.S.s, and its growth rate is higher (it has grown seven times faster than the American economy since 2007). Measured by purchasing power parities, the U.S. accounts for only 16 percent of the world economy, and Chinas economy is 18 percent larger. In short, for the first time since World War II, we are entering an era of real competition between two mammoth economies, a declining hegemon and an aspiring hegemon.

When people talk about the China threat, this is, in effect, all they mean. In the long run, China poses a greater threat to U.S. power than the Soviet Union ever did. Mainstream commentators and politicians prate about Chinas threat to democratic values and human rightsthere always has to be an ideological rationalization for geopolitical strategybut U.S. foreign and domestic policy since the Second World War tells us how much it...

As the saying goes, the smaller the stakes, the greater the outrage. And for former Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander, the stakes are very, very small.

First, they came for the politicians, and I said nothing. Then they came for the celebrities, and, well, youve gotta draw a line somewhere, right?

Jason Alexander, the actor who played the lovably repulsive George Costanza on the hit 90s sitcom Seinfeld is upset. Very upset. In a series of tweets yesterday, Alexander expressed his outrage at having his blue tick verification removed by Twitter. So in response, hes taken his bat, his ball and his outer space-sized ego, and gone home to Instagram.

By way of background, shortly after purchasing Twitter earlier this year, owner Elon Musk unarguably the worlds wealthiest and most powerful troll announced that users who want a blue tick (a verification that they are who they say they are) will have to pay $8 per month.

Thats right $8 per month. Or if you extrapolate that out to a year, thats nearly $100,000 no wait, sorry, $96.

In any event, this week the Twitter police came for Jason Alexander. He was reportedly at home at the time in his gazillion dollar Beverley Hills mansion, covered in Lindt chocolate and surrounded by satin pillows and small dogs.

In fact, Twitter came for all legacy accounts with the old blue tick verification, ending the free ride for (and creating widespread angst amongst) celebrities, public officials and journalists, who were no longer entirely sure who they were, or whether or not they remained publicly relevant. Alexander with almost three quarters of a million Twitter followers was particularly upset. And so he took action. By tweeting.

Ok everyone. Twitter has removed my verification. I will no longer be posting on this app. Anyone who posts as me is an imposter. I wish you all well.

Nashville shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto is a "blueprint on total destruction" which the FBI are stalling releasing, according to local politicians, who describe its contents as "astronomically dangerous". Almost a month after Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender, killed six at the city's Covenant elementary school before being shot by police authorities have yet to release a motive or any of the writings seized from her home, despite growing pressure. Rep. Tim Burchett, (R-Tenn.) told The Post he knew the FBI was behind the delay, saying the news was "disappointing" and calling for documents to be released to grieving loved ones as well as members of Congress. The manifesto "could maybe tell us a little bit about what's going on inside of her head," he added. "I think that would answer a lot of questions."

The untold story behind the rape of Indian history? first shown on Taazakhabar News

Indian history has many unanswered questions like why the pain suffered by the Hindus for 1,400 years has not been adequately reflected. Why has this utterly painful, troubled, problematic, blood-drenched aspect of history been deliberately neglected? Were the Hindus not human enough? Are their suffering and humiliation not worth mentioning? Even if the Left-Liberal-Muslim Right cabal does not sympathize with the plight of the Hindus, does the truth not warrant being told? Why is it that our students are made to study the history of Muslim rule primarily in a political contextthe story of their conquests and administrationas if we had been living in anarchy or in some Dark Age before that? Why they have downplayed the human aspect, particularly the achievements of the Hindus before the advent of the Muslims and their sufferings after them?

I think that a lot of the scare discussion around ocean levels is because its relatively simple to understand. More complex things, like arguing about the accuracy of certain climate models, is just too easily sidetracked into a sea of mights and maybes.

Whats going to kill us worst?

1. Losing Florida
2. The collapse of agriculture due to heat
3. The collapse of agriculture due to drought
4. The collapse of fisheries due to anoxic zones
5. The collapse and death of people due to unsurvivable heat

Well, obviously the answer is all of the above but focusing on whether New York City will be uninhabitable in 100 years is letting the disaster off easily. Yes, there will be displacement, money lost, migrants started, etc., in the flooding scenario but thats not what scares me. And, what scares me is going to happen, sooner rather than later, and everyone is going to be shocked and freaked out in spite of decades of warnings.

Midjourney AI and mjr: mass casualty die-off from the heat, under a baking hot sun

The problem is simple: humans cant survive at temperatures above 35C/95F. In 6 hours, youre dead. We dont normally experience temperatures that high, because our body has evaporative cooling systems (AKA: sweat) that can cool us even in higher temperatures so long as the humidity is low enough that evaporation is fast, and we stay hydrated.

Of course this is going to kill a lot of poor, brown, people, so maybe thats why America is worries about whether Biden is going to take away our gas-guzzling air conditioned trucks. [science]

Despite whatever charges Julian Assange may be accused of, it is well known that the WikiLeaks publisher was targeted for exposing the war crimes of the US government. In an upside-down Bizarro World, the screws are being ever so gradually tightened on Assange by the war criminals and their criminal accomplices. It is, in fact, a slow-motion assassination being played out before the open and closed eyes of the world.

The Slow-motion Assassination of Julian Assange

The above was written in 2020. Little has changed. In the foreword to Guilty of Journalism by Kevin Gosztola, American journalist Abby Martin writes, Assange was only publishing the leaks. He never committed any crime. He only published evidence of the crimes. (p xiii)

Assanges crime is exposing the crimes of the US; especially revelatory was the Collateral Murder video where US troops in an Apache helicopter gleefully gunned dead 12 civilians on a street in New Baghdad. The murderers remain scot-free. For exposing war crimes, Assange and Chelsea Manning have been punished.

Kevin Gosztola who has followed much of the judicial proceedings against Manning and Assange presents his knowledge of the cases, in particular that of Assange, in Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case against Julian Assange (Seven Stories Press, 2023).

What is readily apparent is that the releases by WikiLeaks triggered a tsunamic vendetta. This has resulted in a brazen miscarriage of justice manipulated by a red-faced United States with the connivance of allied nation states such as Australia; Sweden; Britain; after a change of presidents, Ecuador; and the bystander nations of the world.

The US seeks to try Assange under the Espionage Act, a relic from WWI designed to control the release of information (see chapter 4). Yet, such a prosecution of Assange is hampered by the US Constitution, as the First Amendment protects the freedom of the press. Prosecuting a publisher/journalist would entail grave implications for journali...

Rixon Stewart The Truthseeker (print publication) 1999

Question: can something be ostensibly anti racist but still harbour a hidden fascist agenda?

Answer: yes, particularly if it is Sir William McPhersons Report on the murder of Stephen Lawrence.

Let me explain: the inquiry into the murder recently released its findings along with recommendations that propose sweeping legal reform. After careful study however, it becomes obvious that the Lawrence Inquiry is no more than a Trojan horse: a Trojan horse for the introduction of draconian legislation. Of course, though it cant be called fascist because it has been introduced under the guise of an anti-racist banner. So naturally anyone who argues against it can automatically be branded as a racist. At its heart though the inquirys recommendations reveal a chilling authoritarian mentality, in a word fascist.

The scene was set on April 22 1993, Stephen Lawrence, an 18 year old A level student was waiting for a bus in Eltham, S.E. London. A group of 5 or 6 white youths approached Stephen and his friend Duwayne Brooks. The word nigger was used; Stephen was stabbed and died a short while later. From the outset it is alleged that the investigation was bungled because of institutionalised racism. Six years later the alleged killers are still free, despite 2 trials and an inquiry into the investigation itself. The inquirys report is published amidst intense media coverage, further allegations of institutionalised racism and calls for the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to resign.

Amidst all the media generated controversy the reports proposals for sweeping reform become almost a side issue. In a sense they sneak in by the back door whilst everybodys attention was being diverted. Yet they lie at the very heart of the report and, when all is said and done, are probably the reason for its existence.

First though the report opens its case with allegations of institutionalised racism and unwitting prejudice. Only two clear examples are given, neither of which really stands up to rigorous objective scrutiny. However, its recommendations for sweeping change are based on the assumption that institutionalised racism is endemic: It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes or behaviour which amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethnic people.

Attitudes? Ignorance? Thoughtlessness? George Orwell had a term for this; he called it thought crime.

The report is particularly critical of D.S. Davison for maintaining that the killing may not have been racially motivated. According to him, These lads had attacked whites before, very similarly with a similar knife. I believe this was thugs. They were described as the Krays....

People ask me all the time: What can I do to help stop extinction?

As a scientist working to protect endangered species, I hear the frustration in their voices. But I also know how to answer. Its not simple, its not quick, but its essential and it will help more than threatened animals and plants.

First and foremost, we cant think of biodiversity protection as isolated from everything else, something that only environmentalists or scientists handle while society goes on as usual. We have to address the biodiversity crisis, the climate emergency, and poverty and injustice simultaneously. And we can accomplish that by integrating biodiversity protection into the mainstream, into concerts, sports, fashion, business, education, transportation, everything everywhere all at once.

Habitat loss is still the biggest driver of extinction, and all our purchases and activities affect habitat somewhere. For all the things we purchase and consume, its important to ask where they came from, whose lives they affected wildlife and human alike and what byproducts are involved.

Our dollars are actions. If we see a terrible product like a living frog or fish in a sealed plastic container in a toy aisle, a trinket made out of a dead animal, or invasive landscaping plants like nandina, tropical milkweed, or Bradford pears theres a whole ladder of actions to take. First off, we can ask the store to stop selling them and ask the company to stop producing them. Most companies have parent companies that have a sustainability statement on their website but little knowledge of what the smaller brands they own are actually doing. They may not even know if we d...

On April 13, the FBI took 21-year-old Air National Guardsman Jake Teixiera into custody for posting top secret military documents on a private Discord chat group. A large amount of classified information has been exposed, and people want answers. Why is this young man getting arrested when other people leak to the press all the time? Who gives a 21-year-old top-secret clearance? Are there some other, less-obvious motives at work here? First, let's look at the leaks. Let's look first at the leaks themselves. In early March, classified documents started popping up on a public Discord channel. They had originally been posted in a private, invitation-only chat group on Discord with a few dozen members in December 2022 or January 2023. At some point, one of the private group members started posting the classified documents to a public group. And once on the public group, the classified documents rapidly made their way around the internet. (source) This series of leaks provided evidence...

The mRNA vaccines were released globally in early 2021 with the slogan safe and effective. Unusually for a new class of medicine, they were soon recommended by public health authorities for pregnant women.

By late 2021, working-age women, including those who were pregnant, were being thrown out of employment for not agreeing to be injected. Those who took the mRNA vaccines did so based on trust in health authorities the assumption being that they would not have been approved if the evidence was not absolutely clear. The role of regulatory agencies was to protect the public and, therefore, if they were approved, the vaccines were safe.

Recently, a lengthy vaccine evaluation report sponsored by Pfizer and submitted to the Australian regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) dated January 2021 was released under a Freedom of Information request.

The report contains significant new information that had been suppressed by the TGA and by Pfizer itself. Much of this relates directly to the issue of safety in pregnancy, and impacts on the fertility of women of child-bearing age. The whole report is important, but four key data points stand out;

• The rapid decline in antibody and T cells in monkeys following second dose,
• Biodistribution studies (previously released in 2021 through an FOI request in Japan)
• Data on the impact of fertility outcomes for rats.
• Data on fetal abnormalities in rats.

We focus on the last three items as, for the first point, it is enough to quote the report itself Antibodies and T cells in monkeys declined quickly over 5 weeks after the second dose of BNT162b2 (V9), raising concerns over long term immunity.

This point indicates that the regulators should have anticipated the rapid decline in efficacy and must have known at the outset that the initial two-dose course was unlikely to confer lasting immunity and would, therefore, require multiple repeat doses. This expectation of failure was recently highlighted by Dr Anthony Fauci, former director at the US NIH.

The three remaining items should be a major cause for alarm with the pharmaceutical regulatory system. The first, as revealed in 2021, involved biodistribution studies of the lipid nanoparticle carrier in rats, using a luciferase enzyme to substitute for the mRNA vaccine.

The study demonstrated that the vaccine will travel throughout the body after injection, and is found not only at the injection site, but in all organs...

DeKalb County, GA Three months after Georgia State Patrol officers shot Manuel Tortuguita Esteban Paez Tern, killing the 26-year-old environmental and human rights advocate, the DeKalb County Medical examiner released their autopsy results. In the 34-page report, Dr. Gerald T. Gowitt, the chief medical examiner, wrote that gunpowder residue is not seen on the hands.

A Gun Shot Residue kit was performed, yet those findings remain undisclosed. Another piece of new information revealed in this autopsy was that Tortuguitas body had at least 57 gunshot wounds.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) continues to hold onto their investigation findings closely, leaving Terns family, loved ones, and the greater Stop Cop City movement searching for answers on their own.

On March 13, 2023, Terns family held a press conference to release an independent full autopsy of Tortuguita and to discuss the lawsuit the family filed against the City of Atlanta under the Georgia Open Records Act.

At the request of their family, Dr. Kris Sperry conducted the independent autopsy on Tortuguita. Sperry found that when they were shot and killed, Terns hands were raised in the air. According to the familys lawyers, The autopsy further reveals that Manuel was most probably in a seated position, cross-legged when killed.

According to the newly released DeKalb County autopsy report however, Dr. Gowitt wrote that there are too many variables with respect to movement of the decedent and the shooters to draw definitive conclusions concerning [Terns] body position.

Tern was killed on January 18 in the South River Forest. They were dedicating their time to the diverse Stop Cop City movement and working to prevent the construction of the Atlanta Police Foundations Atlanta Public Safety Training Center. Tha...

Question: Which Cell Phone Companies Warn About Radiation Exposure from Their Products? Answer: All of Them

By David Swanson, World BEYOND War, April 21, 2023

Some countries have a Catholic Church holiday every day of the year. The United States has a war holiday every day of the year. Some of them, such as so-called Veterans Day, began as peace holidays that like Mothers Day or Martin Luther King Jr. Day were carefully stripped of any peace content, and were instead turned toward the glorification of war and war preparations. Many peace holidays and formerly peace holidays and potential peace holidays can be found in the Peace Almanac at peacealmanac.org.

Youll notice at the link for Veterans Day above that what used to be Armistice Day in the United States was and remains Remembrance Day in some other countries. In those countries, it has morphed from mourning the dead to celebrating the institutions that plan to create more dead. A similar trajectory can be charted for numerous other holidays in the U.S. and around the world, such as Anzac Day in New Zealand and Australia. A stellar example is Memorial Day in the United States, which falls on the last Monday in May every year. Heres what we can read in the Peace Almanac:

May 30. On this day in 1868, Memorial Day was first observed when two women in Columbus, MS, placed flowers on both Confederate and Union graves. This story about women recognizing lives sacrificed on each side due to the Civil War by visiting gravesites with flowers in their hands actually took place two years earlier, on April 25, 1866. According to the Center for Civil War Research, there were countless wives, mothers, and daughters spending time in graveyards. In April of 1862, a chaplain from Michigan joined some ladies from Arlington, VA to decorate graves in Fredericksburg. On July 4, 1864, a woman visiting her fathers grave joined by many who had lost fathers, husbands, and sons left wreaths at every grave in Boalsburg, PA. In the spring of 1865, a surgeon, who would become Surgeon General of the National Guard in Wisconsin, witnessed women placing flowers on graves near Knoxville, TN as he passed by on a train. Daughters of the Southland were doing the same on...

Is recovery from akathisia possible? Seven years ago, my answer to this question would have been no because I still had a blind belief in the medical system despite being utterly betrayed by it. The medical professionals with whom I had been working had told me that once someones conditions (meaning the drug-induced movement disorders Id developed) had deteriorated to the level mine had, the damage was permanent, and full recovery was unlikely.

That sentiment was reflected in the piece I wrote for Mad in America four years ago. Id made the short film about akathisia, How Bad Can Good Be?, from a hopeless state of mind. My hopelessness seemed reasonable at the time because I was told it was hopeless. Everything I read, everywhere I searched, everyone with whom I spoke either reinforced that narrative or had no hope to offer because they claimed theyd never seen anyone who had been so damaged by medications. In fact, my neuropsychologist called me the Lucy of Akathisia. As if I didnt feel isolated and freakish enough.

But what was there to feel hopeful about? I had been broken by a system Id been taught to trust with my actual life, and in turn, that system blamed what it could on me, the patient, while shirking any responsibility for what had happened to me with the callous disregard of a sociopath.
