It had to be said, thank you! Only thing missing to show how the US really feels about kids in disobedient nations is the clip of Madeleine Albright saying 500,000 Iraqi kids dead due to genocidal US sanctions was “worth it”.
In their latest escapade Israel murdered 50 Palestinian children -- many asleep in their beds. The reaction of Congress? More money for weapons and full-throated pledges of continued support.
We are such an incredibly fine country whose concern for the innocent inspires us all.
My first reaction -- knowing what I know about the United States and its military -- is how incredibly cynical and ham-fisted this all is, just like the war.
Then I realized for those who think Chris Todd is a real reporter and the name Glenn Greenwald is unknown, the propaganda doesn't really need to be any better than this.
My wife consistently belittles my tapping into alt media or unapproved (by her) corporate media like Faux, which I do take with a grain of salt but sometimes tells a bit of truth, just as MSNBC sometimes told the truth during W's regime. I finally told her she was ignorant (because "to ignore" is a willful act resulting from cognitive dissonance and submissive authoritarianism) after she wrung her hands over Afghan women. I know it's not the way to persuade people, but I'm increasingly fed up.
Maybe get her to ponder the rather puzzling truth that after a twenty year American war we're only now getting pictures of Afghan women and children from the media. Then while she's trying to unravel such deep mysteries get her to try and recall the last time she saw any Palestinian women and children in the media at all, because of her deep concern for -- you know -- the world's women and children.
It's not hard to find propaganda photos of happy Eastern European peasants greeting the Wehrmacht as liberators, or, for that matter, photos of happy Eastern European peasants greeting the Red Army as liberators.
Where were all of you when it was time to protest 9/11. Remember, 9/11? That was the event that enabled all of this carnage. Where was everyone when we needed people in the street to protest, to let Congress and the George W. Bush White House know that this was not acceptable. It is commendable that you now shriek in horror, now that you are looking in the rear view mirror. I am still not hearing people say en-masse that 9/11 was the pivotal event that enabled this all to happen. In fact I am not hearing anything said about that here at all, even though that was the excuse the U.S. used to invade Afghanistan in the first place. What? are you still afraid to be called a "Conspiracy Theorist." Why don't we have some articles that discuss how 9/11 was the pretext for the Endless War on Terror of which Afghanistan is but one facet. 9/11 still needs to be laid bare in order for all of these draconian policies to be brought down, but still I hear nothing. We are probably out of time, however, authoritarian rule is likely here to stay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HipTO_7mUOw There is but a small window of time left to hold leaders that institute these draconian policies to account, but that is closing rapidly.
And as for today, the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the EcoHealth Alliance in New York have refused requests by Congress and others, to allow public access to their existing coronavirus samples and their viral databases. These may hold answers to all the origin questions [of SARS-CoV-2]. COVID-19 is also being used to shove more draconian policies down our throats, just like 9/11 was, and still not a peep out of the people. Now instead of fearing we will be called "Conspiracy Theorists," we fear being called "Anti-Vaxxers." Nothing has changed really, and the atrocities will continue to go on and on and on and on.
Project for a New American Century (PNAC). Kind of has a ring to it doesn't it. I think we are now living in the New American Century. Let me rattle off some of the founding members off the top of my head. Richard Perle, William Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, Dov Zakheim, Donald Rumsfeld, James Baker III, I.Lewis LIbby, John Ellis Bush, ahh, I had to cheat those were mostly signatories to the Statement of Principles, and beside William Kristol, Robert Kagan was the another founding member, and almost forgotten was John Bolton. We are now in a new era of multi-national corporate domination of almost every nation on Earth. No constitutions, no bills of rights can be found anywhere any more.
I questioned 9-11 from the start, but confess I was ambivalent about Afghanistan as we prepared to intervene. I quickly saw how wrong-headed the intervention was, was fervently against the Iraq War, and confronted my Rep over Obama's "surge" in Afghanistan, which Eikenberry opposed and over which Matthew Hoh resigned.
Re Wuhan, I believe admittedly with no evidence but because it fits the pattern, that the funding of Wuhan was to establish a "backstop" narrative in case the wet market fable failed. The narratives to be rolled out were: 1) wet market, 2) if that failed, it leaked from Wuhan but was a wild strain that was captured and was being studied and finally 3) it was the result of GoF research at Wuhan. What the do NOT want revealed or believed is that it was a result of GoF at Ft Detrick and UNC funded by DARPA, and probably a planned release to advance several confluent agendas: 1) Big Pharma profits, 2) Provide a reason for the financial meltdown already underway, 3) Advance the Great Reset to neo-feudalism and control by international elites in the West, 4) remove Trump, deemed to be a threat to globalism, 5) population reduction through bio-weaponry, first a relatively mild disease by Ebola standards, then the clot/fertility shot. But it's a loose confluence of interests, not a tight conspiracy, and the greed of Big Pharma coupled with 3rd world hesitancy may yet throw a spanner in the works. Some of the global south is succeeding with early treatment. That's my most realistic hope. A longer shot is the growing though as yet still weak revolt of the people in the imperial core (mainly the EU).
As far as I can tell, SARS-CoV-2 began near Kunming in Yunnan province about 1,500 milers to the east of Wuhan. Virus samples were collected there and then brought to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan (WIV). It should be noted that the U.S. NIH funded corona virus research at WIV to the tune of 3.1 million dollars in the interest of developing more pathogenic and transmissible versions of SARS-CoV viruses. If should also be noted the Shi Zeng-Li the director of virology at WIV collaborated on many occasions with Ralph Baric again on corona virus research since 2007. It should also be noted that Shi Zeng-li spent considerable time in the U.S. collaborating with labs like the Galveston National Laboratory in Texas, again doing research on corona viruses. Corona virus research was ongoing at the WIV since 2007 and the WIV is the repository of all the samples of bat, civet, and pangolin viruses collected in Yunnan province and other parts of the world since 2007. I can't say that Shi Zeng-li or Ralph Baric had anything to do with creating SARS-CoV-2, except that SARS-CoV-2 has the genetic fingerprints of four of the viruses collected from from bats in Yunnan, which both Shi-Zeng-li and Ralph Baric had access to. We can't begin to determine where SARS-CoV-2 came from until we have access to the virus DNA data stored at WIV and EcoHealth Alliance in New York. Both China and the United States are stonewalling any attempt by anyone to do research on the known data or existing samples of viruses to determine where SARS-CoV-2 came from. That implies to me that neither country wants the citizens of the world to find out.
Further correction, Yunnan province is around 1,000 miles west of Wuhan if you were to drive there from Wuhan, about 850 miles in a straight line. Still SARS-CoV viruses don't usually stray more than 150 miles from their point of origin unless intentionally transported.
Also unable to get enough of such exploitive pictures are CIA/Military campus recruiters such as Patty Hetu-Tkacik, a former 35-year CIA operative and recruiter, now become a recruiter at Spokane, Washington’s Gonzaga University. (Incidentally, there is a striking resemblance between the U.S. soldier in the first photo in Caitlin’s article and the photo on the large recruitment poster used at a Gonzaga recruitment event with Hetu-Tkacik’s minuscule email address in the bottom left corner of the poster).

Ft. Detrick was the source of the Aimes Strain of Anthrax that was used to terrify Congress into voting for the initial invasion of Afghanistan. Ft. Detrick has nothing to do with SARS-CoV-2, however. Graeme MacQueen did an in depth study on the Anthrax attacks that you can find at https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_2001_Anthrax_Deception/kYpXDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover
