Listen to a reading of this article: There's a lot happening in the life of the empire, so we're doing another multi-story article to wrap it all up. Today we're discussing four stories: Facebook is censoring multiple articles by Seymour Hersh. Weapons industry-funded think tank helps Congress discover that Taiwan needs way more weapons.
Truly amazing there is all this controversy over who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines when Hersh merely confirmed what any sensible person already knew. There were videos galore of smirking politicians gloating over their destruction.
The hard bite is on as America gets more and more desperate for money and weapons allies are pressed to supply more and more. Canada supports US militarism in the hundreds of billions of dollars and we are now being pressed for more as our much venerated Medicare system is being starved out of existence by neoliberal privatization and government complicity.
We simply have no concept of the collateral damage wars do to our societies , all in the service of demented megalomaniacs.
I don't think that Americans will be able to vote their way out of this psychopathic virus, like the Crimean did. I went over our Crimea bridge headed to the mainland a couple days ago - looking good - heavy security and inspections but things look promising for the next 6 mos. A lot of Ukraine folks have moved to So. Russia and Crimea in order to get away from the shelling etc. I was born on the day the Korean War started, drank a couple warm budweiser's on my 21st birthday, somewhere in Vietnam and I'm on the last chapter, looking at the same BS psychopath types - pushing more war . America, you gotta wake up and get us out of this madness.
I'm already outraged over the mRNA pseudo-vaccine, a typical capitalist "more-is-more" strategy that despite being analogous to nuking an entire city to eliminate one houseful of "terrorists" nevertheless failed miserably, with the collateral damage expected of such a cretinous strategy (I'll spare you the immunological details). And although I refuse to vote for either arm of the duopoly, this characterization of RFK Jr. as anti-vax outrages me equally. The man is anti-shite-vaccines, like the ones using thimerosal as preservative, like this mRNA junk and other dicey formulations. He's against the arrogance with which Pharma creates this stuff with profit outstripping caution over side-effects, a perfectly sensible position. This is coming from someone, me, who pitched the strategic value of vaccines to his immunology students for 25 years. But strategy ≠ clinical outcome when profit rears its ugly head. RFK's stance on vaccines is perfectly reasonable and the NY Times is no longer remotely useful, even as birdcage liner to catch parakeet droppings. Run as a Green or Indy and you have my vote, Mr. Kennedy. Run as a Dem, lotsa luck.
Have you watched RFK jr's speech? I found it beautifully constructed and totally absorbing, not rambling as NYT claims. He is a truly great orator in the old tradition - not snappy, trite soundbites as we're accustomed to hearing - wide-ranging powerful story-telling expressing a moral depth and humanity that hasn't been seen in politics for a long time. And of course, most people won't see because the MSM are out to destroy him. I just pray they don't literally destroy him as they did his dad and his uncle. I highly recommend watching the whole speech and being inspired. He's the president the US desperately needs. I hope you will give him lots of attention in your work, Caitlin.
The NYT has several uses that I've learned in the last 50 years or so: 1) starting fires while camping: 2) insulating under cold floors with throw rugs; 3) art projects that need protection from the floor; 4) learning truth by realizing all they say is BS; 5) making paper airplane contests for kids; 6) cellulose insulation for attics; 7) wiping your ass in a serious pinch (slightly better than peach tree leaves--hey, I supposedly still an Eagle Scout, definitely with some experience!).
BUT there are better uses, such as eliminating this pack of sickos, locking up anyone who works there, and letting acres of trees grow every day to give off O2, capture CO2, binding soil, giving safe haven to birds, insects, and countless other forms of life.
"As I never tire of reminding my readers, this is journalistic malpractice. It is never legitimate to mention war machine-funded think tanks promoting more war and militarism without also informing readers of their obvious conflict of interest in the matter." - Absolutely true. And the same for pharma - it's never legit to sing the praises of vaccines without also informing of pharma's conflict of interest, and the scientific fraud behind the studies that supposedly (but actually don't if look past the press release) show "safe and effective and saved millions of lives".
I hope you can change your mind about supporting Kennedy. Yes - the system is deeply rigged, and yes - they will do everything in their power to stop him - But - his integrity is so solid, and the growing numbers who have woken up since covid, and his refusal to fold like Bernie did, mean there IS a chance for a rising tide of huge numbers to overwhelm their abilities to rig the election, from media lies to DNC tactics to voting machines and ballots.
If as many who are registered Republican, Independent, Green, Libertarian change to Dem - and then change right back after voting for Kennedy - so they can vote in the primary, that could turn the tide. Leaving it up to current registered Dems, especially if Gavin Gruesome runs, would probably not come close to being able to overpower the forces against Kennedy.
https://www.kennedy24.com/heal ( and sometimes on Chromebook this site comes up with a bullshit warning label also .. the censorship industrial complex really hates him. All the more reason to support him. (Not the only reason, of course, but there are many. He is incorruptible.)
Listen to his announcement speech where he proclaims the American Exceptionalism as in "we are fundamentally good people" and as an example gives his son's service for the Ukraine Nazi regime killing those inferior ruskies. Fucking scumbag just like the rest of them.
I ran into StopFake on FB also. What a hopeless twit Suckerberg is. Musk is a much better billionaire, but what a shame we have to deal with either one of them. None dare call it fascism, but that's what it is. (Just wrote about it.) I'm hanging on in FB but expect to be booted sooner or later. I use it mainly to bookmark stuff I'll read or listen to later.
Ever since the Bernie Sanders regional supporters' Facebook pages were trolled by David Brock's trolls (posting child porn images on them in order to make Facebook shut them down during the crucial NY primary in 2016), I've never trusted that platform to allow anything to be posted that goes against the neoliberal nightmare agenda. Dismissing Seymour Hersh's excellent reporting is just par for the course for this dirty Dem-obsessed social media platform. And obviously, they expect English speakers to be able to read Norwegian fluently... But maybe the magic of propaganda works its miracle in any language and across any communication barrier? Sigh!
I don't recall RFK Jr. being "anti science", but against what passes for science. I'm surprised any N American would object to that position - after the Covid vaccine and protocols fiasco. An Indian news outlet ominously noted the presence of Chinese warships in the S China Sea : where should they be- the moon? Any Western confrontation over Taiwan will prove only one thing, and conclusively: The West isn't a serious player on the world scene - it doesn't even know to duck in a shit storm.
'At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, he sought to undermine public trust in vaccines, comparing government efforts to impose mandates in some places to “Hitler’s Germany.” Both Facebook and Instagram took down accounts of a group he runs for spreading medical misinformation.
Family members have accused Mr. Kennedy of sowing distrust in the science behind vaccines.'
This is so fantastic that this coming out.
'The science behind vaccines' .... go on show us it NYT!!! It isn't there- not from the very first one for smallpox, nor for any other. Alfred Wallace wrote at the time in 1893
'This brief statement of the early history of vaccination has been introduced here in order to give what seems to be a probable explanation of the remarkable fact that a large portion of the medical profession accepted, as proved, that vaccination protected against a subsequent inoculation of small-pox, when in reality there was no such proof, as the subsequent history of small-pox epidemics has shown. Again and again they asked the witnesses above referred to to explain how it was possible that so many educated specialists could be thus deceived.’
I was already planning on voting for RFK Jr., and the NYT's peachy endorsement further cements that lol

RFK fucking Jr?

Did Elon bring back the substack links so they function?

NY Times says 'For Mr. Kennedy, that cause is vaccine skepticism, a crusade that in the past led him to falsely link childhood vaccines to autism.
(The link to childhood vaccines and autism is not false https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/mmr-and-autism I was suspended from twitter just for putting MMR and autism in the same sentence)
'At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, he sought to undermine public trust in vaccines, comparing government efforts to impose mandates in some places to “Hitler’s Germany.” Both Facebook and Instagram took down accounts of a group he runs for spreading medical misinformation.
