The death of a psychologist after his Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 jab was due to "unintended complications of the vaccine", an inquest has ruled. Stephen Wright, an NHS employee in south-east London, died 10 days after his first dose in January 2021, senior coroner Andrew Harris found. Dr Wright, 32, suffered a blood clot to the brain after receiving the vaccine. His wife Charlotte has been trying to get the "natural causes" wording on her husband's death certificate changed. She is pursuing legal action against the pharmaceutical company. At London Inner South Coroner's Court, Mr Harris described it as a "very unusual and deeply tragic case". Dr Wright suffered from a combination of a brainstem infarction, bleed on the brain and "vaccine-induced thrombosis", the inquest heard. His condition rapidly worsened, but the nature of the bleed meant he was unfit for surgery. After the inquest, Mrs Wright ... said: "It was made clear that Stephen was [previously] fit and healthy and that his death was by vaccination of AstraZeneca. For us, it allows us to be able to continue our litigation against AstraZeneca. This is the written proof." Speaking about the coroner's ruling, mother-of-two Charlotte Wright said: "It provides relief but it doesn't provide closure. I think we're only going to get that when we have an answer from AstraZeneca and the government." From May 2021, the AZ jab was no longer offered to adults under 40 after it became clear the vaccine carried [a] risk of blood clots which could be fatal.

Note: Dr. Wright's death is one of many tragedies related to the COVID-19 vaccine, as revealed in a powerful documentary that follows the lives of people significantly harmed by the vaccine, yet were discredited and abandoned by the medical system and our media systems. A recent analysis report estimates that in 2022 alone, out of 148 million people, the mass COVID-19 inoculations injured 26.6 million, disabled 1.36 million, and caused 300,000 excess deaths, with an estimated economic cost of nearly $150 billion. For more along these lines, explore revealing news articles on coronavirus vaccines from reliable major media sources.

May Day has long been a day when workers across he planet and participate in Marches and other activities to express their unity, common interests, and aspire to a shared future on the first day of the month. The first place where this took part was in Melbourne  Australia. and became a major global event after the Haymarket police killing of unionists in 1886 at Haymarket in the Unite States. In 1889 the International Socialist Conference declared that this day would become a regular feature in commemoration of Haymarket, that it would hold up the banner saying workers of the world unite, and resolved that  May 1 would be an international holiday.

In 2023 May Day came at a time characterised by economic headwinds and policy destroying traditional jobs and spreading insecure work, falling living standards, a climate crisis, and failing legitimacy of traditional politics, at a time when the world is just emerging from extended Covid related isolation of individuals.

Concern about what the future may bring is starting to turn from bewilderment to noticeable anger. There is a growing understanding that a few are scooping all the benefits and everyone lese is having to do without.

It was inevitable that May Day was going to be special this year. Most of the attention has been on France, where the movement against Macrons imposition of  an older age for retirement has sparked a movement that represents most of the French population and will have far reaching consequences. In fact, the change was imposed by decree, instead of through the supposedly democratic process. This has further exposed the political establishment and the partisan nature of the law.

There is also the ongoing issue of police violence that has caused widespread calls or something to be done about it. The police are used to strike out against political opponents of the government. The use of tear gas, wate...

The Human Rights Law Centre supports all elements of the Uluru Statement from the Heart the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution, Treaty and Truth-telling.  

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people know what is best to achieve justice and self-determination. First peoples have the solutions to end the systemic violations of human rights and the knowledge to build strong communities. The establishment of a First Nations Voice has the potential to allow for First Nations Voices to be elevated and heard. 

As we work towards enshrining a constitutional Voice to Parliament, Treaty and Truth-telling processes should also be progressed across the country. The Human Rights Law Centre also remains committed to supporting the daily and ongoing work led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities towards a fair legal system that is free from racial injustice.  

This referendum could be a pivotal moment in the history of colonial Australia. The Human Rights Law Centre believes the Voice is a step towards breaking down the barriers that stand in the way of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people advancing rights, sovereignty and self-determination.  
 
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples sovereignty is inherent and self-existent. International human rights law also recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' right to self-determination. This right sits alongside and is inseparable from the full range of other fundamental rights including equality and non-discrimination. It is time Australian laws and policies caught up.  

Continuing from the processes which led to the Uluru Statement, we understand that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people believe the Voice will be a meaningful and powerful way of realising and advancing the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  

We recognise the differing and valid perspectives in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on how to achieve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice and self-determination. We respect the range of opinions of our colleagues and partner organisations and have reached this position after careful consideration. 

It is our view that the Voice to Parliament is but one step towards correcting one of the historical legal injustices of colonisation in Australia. For this reason, we support the proposed constitutional amendment as a step towards self-determination. 

Congratulations Heston Russell who tells us: The ABC have completely abandoned their truth & contextual truth defences & will now be relying upon public interest to defend in my defamation case.

The G7, formed in 1975, is an intergovernmental political forum of seven member states of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union (EU). Historically, these countries are amongst the most influential ones, with significant political, economic, and military power. Japan assumed the G7 Presidency for 2023 and the 49th G7 Summit is scheduled to be held from 19-21 May 23 at Hiroshima.

Considering the increasing role of other countries in global politics, the G20 (Group of Twenty) was created which included emerging economies such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey, along with the countries of the G7. Though the G20 was formed in 1999, initially it was attended only by finance ministers and central bank governors. The G20 represents over 80% of global GDP and two-thirds of the worlds population and provides a platform for both advanced and emerging economies to discuss and implement coordinated international responses on globally important issues, making it the premier forum for economic cooperation. India assumed the G20 Presidency for 2023 and the 18th G20 Heads of State and Government Summit will be held in New Delhi in September 2023.

Importance of critical minerals  

Critical minerals are those non-fuel minerals that are essential for the economic and national security of a country, but are vulnerable to supply chain disruption. These include lithium, cobalt, graphite, copper, rare earth elements, and platinum group metals, amongst others. These minerals are essential for clean energy technologies such as wind turbines, solar PV panels, storage batteries and electric vehicles. Therefore, their availability plays an important role in the sustainable energy transition.

The supply-demand gap of critical minerals in widening. The IEA forecasts that, driven by increasing deployment of clean energy technologies, the overall demand for critical minerals could increase by as much as six times by 2040, with the demand for lithium, graphite, cobalt and nickel increasing...

I have to say I was shocked.

This afternoon I learned MasterChef host and award-winning restaurateur Jock Zonfrillo has died. He was 46 years old.

I try not to watch mainstream Australian television, but I occasionally flick through the news or watch a show while munching down dinner. I happened to watch some Masterchef, and one judge (also a celebrated chef) shone like a bright light and that was Jock.

I dislike many Australian TV personalities, but if I had to make a choice of who I would put at the top of the pile it would have been Jock Zonfrillo. He was vibrant, enthusiastic, and full of life. He was a shining light and always encouraged the contestants to dig deep and be their best. He was energetic, bright-faced, with clear eyes, and looked in peak health.

And then, it seems, he died suddenly on Sunday.

First, I convey my condolences to his (third) wife, his four children, and all his family. They are obviously grieving deeply and have asked the medi...

Zelensky is slick. He is now lining his pockets with the goal of becoming a billionaire when he flees to his estate in Miami. He is now trying to sell off all state assets in the fossil fuel sector to corporations like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Halliburton. Of course, these companies are all showing that war is coming. The volatility rises sharply from 2024 on and a critical target will be 2026. This is what makes me think that the Neocons will do whatever it takes to stop Trump and that will include even assassinating him as they did to JFK to wage their war against Russia in Vietnam.

Robert McNamara (1916 2009) was a leading Neocon that pushed the country into the Vietnam War.  He was famous for saying: I learned early on never answer the question that is asked of you.

Armed U.S. Drones, U.S. Navy Ship Assist in Evacuation of American Citizens in War-torn Sudan

A U.S. official confirmed to NBC News on Sunday that a U.S. Navy ship, the USNS Brunswick, has arrived in Port Sudan, Sudan, to assist with the effort to evacuate American citizens.

April 30, 2023, 2:30 PM EDT

By Josh Lederman and Henry Austin

Armed drones escorted hundreds of Americans as they began their escape from war-torn Sudan on Saturday amid fierce fighting between the military and a rival paramilitary group.

The unmanned aerial vehicles flew above a convoy of buses as they made the 500-mile journey from the African nations capital, Khartoum, to Port Sudan on the country's east coast, a U.S. official familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News. Several hundred Americans were on board at least a dozen buses, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly.

A U.S. official confirmed to NBC News on Sunday that a U.S. Navy ship, the USNS Brunswick, has arrived in Port Sudan, Sudan, to assist with the effort to evacuate American citizens.

The official says that it is likely that some of the U.S. citizens who arrived in Port Sudan via the U.S.-organized bus convoy will board the ship to leave Sudan, but details are still being worked out.

Officials said that the U.S. government was likely to release more exact figures of the number evacuated in the convoy once the Americans had made it safely to the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah. 

Separately, a Pentagon spokesperson said the Department of Defense deployed U.S. intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets to support air and land evacuation routes, which Americans are using.

Sabrina Singh, the deputy Pentagon press secretary, said the U.S. was moving naval assets within the region to provide any necessary support along the coast and that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had approved a request for assistance from the Department of State to support the safe departure.

The National Tertiary Education Union today begins a week of action against what they say is wage theft, casual employment, stagnant wages and chronic underfunding.

The National Tertiary Education Union says a wave of industrial activism and protest will ripple across every campus in the country as furious university workers push back against wage theft, casual employment, stagnant wages and chronic underfunding.

The action will begins today and reach a crescendo on Wednesday, when thousands of workers from Monash, Melbourne, Deakin and other campuses walk off the job to converge on the Victorian Trades Hall.

Approximately three in ten university jobs are permanent. But the NTEU is fighting back, winning decasualisation clauses at Western Sydney University, Australian Catholic University and University of Technology Sydney in the last six months.

A major decasualisation clause

And at the University of Sydney, a major decasualisation clause is about to be inked, converting 330 casual positions to permanent.

NTEU National President, Dr Alison Barnes said the national week of action was designed to insert decasualisation provisions in the enterprise bargaining agreements of every Australian university.

For too long, Australian universities have allowed casualisation and its toxic twin, wage theft, to flourish. We are determined to stamp it out, says Dr Barnes. We have won decasualisation clauses at three universities and the coming agreement to make 330 casuals permanent at Sydney University adds significant momentum.

Giving workers rights, security and stability

Dr Barnes says the union is actively bargaining at 24 universities and intends to give thousands of workers the rights, security and stability that comes with permanent employment. Everyone who works regularly deserves to be able to plan for basic life events like illness, holidays or buying a home.

A wage theft report released by the NTEU in February showed universities across the nation have been required to pay back more than $80 million in wages stolen overwhelmingly from casual workers. Melbourne University was easily the worst offender, paying back almost $32 million.

Despite rampant wage theft, many universities are still conspiring to suppress wages. A leaked strategy road map from The Australian Higher Education Industrial Association (AHEIA the employers lobby) recently revealed a concerted plan to delaying wage bargaining to avoid offering staff fair pay and appropriate conditions. In some cases, senior university management are offering cash bonuses to staff as a distraction from real pay cuts.

It is a good thing that a tide of politicians, academics and Business leaders have come together to call the government to substantially increase the Jobseeker rate. This includes a swag of Labor Backbenchers who are not happy with the performance of the Albanese government on this score. They have put their names an open letter organised by the Australian Council of Social; Service (ACOSS).

This hasnt come out of nowhere. Its a reflection of the growing disquiet across the Australian community. Most families have members have been forced to live on the current pittance of $50 a day to live on. Add the onward rising cost of living for everyone.

The reality of being out of work and the miserable Jobseeker payment can no longer be hidden so well. Furthermore, Albanese went to the election promising no one held back, no one left behind. This promise is not likely to be kept, for it would mean doubling the present rate. The government, arguing that it cant afford it and has no appetite for doing this.

The rate of income support is so low that people are being forced to choose between paying their rent or buying enough food and medicine, the letter says, and it goes on to point out that as a result,  people experience chronic mental and physical health issues, theyre forced into homelessness and insecure housing, trapped with abusive partners, locked out of paid work because they dont have the money to retrain and re-enter the workforce.

Shell Oil Co. has this REFHYNE facility in Germany to produce hydrogen.

From an Article by Ivy Main, Virginia Mercury, April 25, 2023

The hydrogen gold rush is on. Spurred by the urgency of the climate crisis, and attracted by generous incentives in last years Inflation Reduction Act, companies ranging from oil majors to small start-ups are pouring money into the Next Big Thing in energy: a fuel that is flexible, transportable and carbon-free.

Is hydrogen a critical piece of the decarbonization puzzle that needs floods of new funding, or an over-hyped, not-ready-for-prime-time financial boondoggle? At this point the answer seems to be both.

In his 2022 Energy Plan, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin touted hydrogen as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reimagine Virginias future and meet energy needs through an abundant, dispatchable, and zero-emission fuel source where water is the only required input.

This statement has its problems, including the fact that water is actually not the only required input. Making hydrogen from water requires a lot of energy, which must come from some other fuel. Therein lies the rub.

(Click on image to enlarge it)

One way to make hydrogen and the method everyone is talking about is using electricity to split water (H2O) into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, through electrolysis. Energy is lost in the process, so there is no point in using hydrogen for anything that can plug into the grid. Hydrogen is also more expensive and less efficient than battery sto...

The Russia/China axis looks likely to become the new main axis, with the US falling a level below.

Australia basically morphed into a full-blown, unrepentant, no-holds-barred insanity state during the pandemic. They used the virus to justify all manner of draconian restrictions on basic life; the government also threw its weight behind the untested, experimental Covid vaccine as part of that fear campaign. So it really warms the cockles to see this sort of thing finally coming to pass: At least 500 Australians have already joined a "landmark" COVID-19 vaccine injury class action lawsuit filed this week against the Australian government and the medicines regulator seeks redress for those allegedly injured or left bereaved by the COVID-19 vaccines. The suit accuses the Australian government, the country's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and Department of Health and Aged Care, and a number of senior public servants of negligence related to the approval and monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines, breach of statutory duty and misfeasance in public office. Of note: The Australian...

Answers in Genesis is looking for a full-time high school science teacher. Im not looking for a new job, but even if I were, Im stunned by how supremely unqualified I am for this position.

The qualified individual must be an evangelical Christian committed to living a biblical lifestyle in all areas and in full agreement with the schools statement of faith. The teacher is expected to be in alignment with the science and biblical positions held at Answers in Genesis and able to teach science from a biblical worldview in the classroom. The teacher must also be able to distinguish operational vs historical science as well as be able to articulate the evolutionary beliefs correctly while being able to refute them biblically and scientifically. The teacher must also have a good understanding of AiGs presuppositional apologetic approach and know how to incorporate it in the classroom.

The teacher shall be one who feels called of God to the teaching profession. The teacher must maintain a teachable spirit while demonstrating patience, humility, integrity, and kindness while performing his/her day-to-day duties. He/she must be devoted to prayerfully work with administration, faculty, students, and parents to develop and maintain a school which is thoroughly Christian and academically exceptional. The teacher shall prayerfully help students learn attitudes, skills, and subject matter that will contribute to their development as mature, able, and responsible Christians to the glory of God.

I dont meet the requirements in a single sentence of that summary. Of course, nowhere in there does it say anything about degrees or training or experience, all that matters is conformity to the peculiar notion of science held by AiG.

Oh, at the end of the long list of detailed stuff, almost every bit of it about theological purity, there is a passing mention of what I might expect for qualifications of a real teaching position.

It is expected for the teacher to:

• Hold a minimum of a bachelors degree or equivalent in related field
• Have completed student teaching and/or other educational field experience.

It is preferred (but not necessary) for the teacher to:

• Have two or more years of classroom teaching experience.
• Have a current teaching certificate from a Christian school association and/or State Teaching Certificate in Education.
• Have a...

In Australia, the entire military and security establishment is outsourced to Washingtons former mandarins, earning in consultancy fees.

The post Australia: Outsourced To The US Military Establishment appeared first on OrientalReview.org.

Its a very funny thing. In the US, the provision of services in such industries as security and intelligence is outsourced in a sprawling complex of contractors and subcontractors. In Australia, the entire military and security establishment is outsourced to Washingtons former mandarins, many of them earning a pile in consultancy fees. This, perhaps, is what Australias Defence Minister Richard Marles means when he talks about the Australian Defence Force moving beyond interoperability to interchangeability.

The list of recipients is depressingly long, and suggests that Australia has ceased to have any pretensions of sovereignty in defence matters. Take, for instance, the appointment of US Vice Admiral William Hilarides to the post of reviewing the future of the Royal Australian Navys surface fleet, for which he is pocketing US$4,000 a day. Since 2016, he has received US$1.3 million in contracts from the Australian government.

Hilarides featured in a story by the Washington Post last year, which revealed that two retired US admirals and three former US Navy civilian leaders were playing critical but secretive roles as paid advisers to the government of Australia during its negotiations to acquire top-secret nuclear submarine technology from the United States and Britain.

It gets worse. Six retired US admirals are identified as having offered their services to the Commonwealth since 2015. Hilarides was particularly keen, having retired a mere two months before seeking permission to advise the Australians on how best to extend the life of its Collins Class submarine fleet.

US Navy officials had few problems with the application, approving it within five days and forwarding it to the US State Department, which treated it as a mere formality. Hilarides, in his application, stated that he would be receiving money from a contract between the Australian Commonwealth and the consulting firm Burdenshaw Associates, based in Fairfax City, Virginia. The same firm has received US$6.8 million from the Australian taxpayer since 2015.

In a statement provided to the paper, the Australian Department of Defence revealed that Hilarides, another admiral Thomas Eccles, and a number of those on the Commonwealths Naval Shipbuilding Expert Advisory Panel, were furnishing Canberra with expert advice on the performance of the naval shipbuilding...

denisrancourt | April 22, 2023

In this Canadian Patriot Podcast, Dr. Denis Rancourt explains his published findings and methods demonstrating the popular fallacy that a covid-19 virus had caused vast death prior to the vaccine rollouts in 2021. In fact, not a single death anywhere in the world can be provably tied to COVID-19, but rather the criminally incompetent (and likely intentionally criminal) protocols deployed from above nation states. Dr. Rancourt explains the real reasons for the increase in all-cause mortality across the world with a focus on the USA, Australia, Israel and India which occured only after the vaccine rollout began. A discussion on Faucis admission that he was wrong about masking protocols and the broader corruption in academic research over the past decades is also explored.

A NJ Pastor-politician is Gunned Down, and a Community Reels

By MARYCLAIRE DALE

SAYREVILLE, N.J. (AP) Nicole Teliano used to play games on her phone in the mayors office while her mother worked down the hall several evenings a month, tending to the tedious, often acrimonious task of serving in local government.

The 11-year-old girl didnt mind sharing her mother, Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour, with the nearly 50,000 residents of the central New Jersey town, the young people she nurtured as a pastor of a prosperity gospel church in Newark or the Nigerian church colleague she married in a festive ceremony in Abuja in November.

Well, my mom was a little bit of extra, so I could share a little bit. There was enough to go around, Nicole said in a family interview with The Associated Press this month.

Now, friends and loved ones are asking for help figuring out who gunned down the charismatic 30-year-old Dwumfour outside her Sayreville home on Feb. 1. The case is reverberating from New Jersey to West Africa, with touchpoints including politics, religion and money that echo across continents.

Authorities arent saying much. Dwumfours parents and new husband Peter Ezechukwu, who hoped to join his wife in the United States this spring but instead came for her funeral, are frustrated by the ongoing silence. The Middlesex County Prosecutors Office said it recognizes their concerns but needs to protect the integrity of the investigation.

Eunice was too good of a person to let (her death) go unanswered, Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick said at a Feb. 8 memorial service, where hundreds mourned the stylish preacher known as Pastor Eunney_K.

That smile of hers, Kilpatrick said, is not going to let us give up.

A COMMUNITY SHAKEN

Dwumfour (pronounced JEWM-for), the eldest of five children born to Ghanaian immigrants, had been active in Christian ministry since she was a teen. She graduated from Newark public schools and, after having Nicole, earned a degree in womens studies from William Paterson University in...

Statement from Marius Mason on June 11th, a day of solidarity with long-time anarchist prisoners.

Dear Community, Family and Friends,

Thank you for the work you are doing to make the change we need to make into the world for our collective survival. Your dedication, support and love are a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me; and I am betting for other prisoners, as well.

This has been as eventful year and a half here at FCI Danbury. My transfer to a male facility had been viewed with great trepidation both by those supportive of trans people and by those who are adamantly opposed to our existence. Ive had many memorable experiences; some humiliating, some merely annoying and awkward. But, also several that have been rewarding and deeply affirming.

There has definitely been a sense of working things out as we gothe way strip searches have been conducted has been all over the board. Sometimes they have been done by one male staff person, sometimes by one female staff person and several times by several male staff people. Strip searches occur before and after visits, before and after medical trips out, and also when going into the SHU (I had to go there before a medical procedure to fast).

I missed one that was conducted down at the Rec when a fight between inmates was suspected. For the most part, as embarrassing as strip searches can be (they definitely trigger my dysphoria), most staff have been professional about them. There have been some unprofessional remarks made on occasion, though, that have been dehumanizing and dispiriting, but actually have happened a lot less often than I was expecting. A nice surprise.

Mostly, I have been able to navigate what negativity and attempted exploitation there has been, taking it as the cost of admission to this new circus. I am determined to make progress on my transition, and have appreciated the opportunity to keep growing in my social transition and to make all the benchmarks necessary for satisfying the requirements that the BOP has set. For the most part, I keep it moving and accent the positive and eliminate the negative.

There has been a lot of positive movement in my transition to a predominantly cis-male-identified prison. While there are about six transwomen here that I have met, and one gender fluid person, I have yet to meet anyone else who identifies as a trans man at this prison. I did know about eight transmen at Carswell, where I was placed in Texas. Being in this population, there has been a lot of opportunity to discuss trans issues with people. They ask a lot of questions, some related to trans policy and some personal to my situation. Other questions make me laugh as they are blunt and impertinent, but honest curiosity is important to helping with trans visibility and acce...
