Great, just what we need, another way for the US to control us all. This is real people, this is happening.
Hey so it turns out the US intelligence cartel has been working intimately with online platforms to regulate the "cognitive infrastructure" of the population.
Should be as a shock to no one I have to say the phrase “cognitive infrastructure” is a great rhetorical attempted workaround to the 1st Amendment. Refer to the minds of the people as “infrastructure” then point to how they are tasked with “defending infrastructure”… brilliant
US intelligence has been doing same via paper publications since the 50’s and 60’s, Henry Luce had a close working relationship with Allen Dulles the longest serving CIA Director. Not condemning nor condoning, simply stating a historical fact, I’m a fan of recent history.
That’s why we often say that the US govt is full of projections. Whenever they accuse another country of doing something it’s because they’re doing it.
The thread goes on and on but you get the gist.
Some calming music for your mind as you absorb the significance of this chicanery.

“Among the 1.2bn people who inhabit the world’s liberal democracies, three-quarters (75%) now hold a negative view of China, and 87% a negative view of Russia,” the report reads. “However, for the 6.3bn people who live in the rest of the world, the picture is reversed. In these societies, 70% feel positively towards China, and 66% positively towards Russia.”
The US is preparing to station multiple nuclear-capable B-52 bombers in northern Australia in what the mass media are calling a “signal to China,” yet another example of Australia’s forced subservience as a US military/intelligence asset.
“Having bombers that could range and potentially attack mainland China could be very important in sending a signal to China that any of its actions over Taiwan could also expand further,” Becca Wasser from the Centre for New American Security think tank told the ABC.
“This is a dangerous escalation. It makes Australia an even bigger part of the global nuclear weapons threat to humanity’s very existence – and by rising military tensions it further destabilises our region,” tweeted Greens Senator David Shoebridge of the incendiary provocation.

A new Australian Financial Review article titled “Australia’s alliances in Asia are a tale of two regions” candidly discusses the Biden administration’s recent sanctions geared toward kneecapping the Chinese tech industry in what the author James Curran correctly says “is unambiguously a new cold war.” Curran describes the impossible task Australia has of straddling the ever-widening divide between its number one trading partner China and its number one “security” partner the US, while Washington continually pressures Canberra and ASEAN states toward greater and greater enmity with Beijing.
“ASEAN countries, as much as Australia, have much at stake in resisting the onset of a bifurcated world,” Curran writes.
But that bifurcation is being shoved through at breakneck pace, using both hard and soft power measures. Australians have been hammered with increasingly aggressive anti-China propaganda, and as a result nearly half of them now say they would be willing to go to war to defend Taiwan from an attack by the mainland, with a third saying they’d support a war against China over the Solomon Islands.
A recent Cambridge study found that this hostility toward China has been on the rise in recent years not just in Australia but throughout the “liberal democracies” of the US-centralized power alliance. But what’s interesting is that public opinion is exactly reversed in the much larger remainder of the Earth’s population, with people outside the US power cluster just as fond of China as those within that power cluster are hostile toward it. This relationship is largely mirrored with Russia as well.
“Among the 1.2bn people who inhabit the world’s liberal democracies, three-quarters (75%) now hold a negative view of China, and 87% a negative view of Russia,” the report reads. “However, for the 6.3bn people who live in the rest of the world, the picture is reversed. In these societies, 70% feel positively towards China, and 66% positively towards Russia.”
Fascinating research by the University of Cambridge!
Whilst in Western liberal democracies (1.2bn people) 75% hold a negative view of China, in the rest of the world (6.3bn people) 70% feel positively towards China. In those countries, China has even overtaken the US!
A puzzling observation in today's world is that almost no Western leader has laid out a positive vision for the future.
Take Biden for instance. His big vision is "democracies vs autocracies". Meaning his vision for the future of the world is conflict. How positive is that?
The report finds that in the “developing” world, approval of China is higher than approval of the US:
“For the first time ever, slightly more people in developing countries (62%) are favourable towards China than towards the United States (61%). This is especially so among the 4.6bn people living in countries supported by the Belt and Road Initiative, among whom almost two-thirds hold a positive view of China, compared to just a quarter (27%) in non-participating countries.”
The report finds that while Russia’s approval has plummeted in the west, it maintains broad support in the east despite the invasion of Ukraine:
However, the real terrain of Russia’s international influence lies outside of the West. 75% of respondents in South Asia, 68% in Francophone Africa, 62% in Southeast Asia continue to view the country positively in spite of the events of this year.
I first became aware of the Cambridge study via a Twitter thread by Arnaud Bertrand (who is a great follow if you happen to use that demonic app). Bertrand highlights data in the study showing that US-aligned nations’ opinion of China began plummeting not after the Covid outbreak in late 2019, but after 2017 when the US began ramping up its propaganda campaign against Beijing.
A puzzling observation in today's world is that almost no Western leader has laid out a positive vision for the future.
Take Biden for instance. His big vision is "democracies vs autocracies". Meaning his vision for the future of the world is conflict. How positive is that?
Apart from the fact that the USA’s immensely sophisticated propaganda machine naturally focuses primarily on where the world’s wealth and military firepower rests while pushing its global agendas, and apart from the fact that those in Belt and Road Initiative countries apparently believe they benefit from their economic relationships with China, the disparity between the “developed” and “developing” worlds in their perceptions of the US and its enemies may also be partly explained by another thought-provoking Arnaud Bertrand thread, which I will quote in its entirety here:
A puzzling observation in today’s world is that almost no Western leader has laid out a positive vision for the future.
Take Biden for instance. His big vision is “democracies vs autocracies”. Meaning his vision for the future of the world is conflict. How positive is that?
Contrast this with China: between “national rejuvenation” and “common prosperity” at home and the “global security initiative” as their vision for improved international relations; everyone is very clear on the journey they’re embarked on.
This is a key, if not the key reason why the “West” has no chance in hell to convince the “rest” to join them.
There’s simply nothing to join! Except conflict, I guess, but you join a conflict to fight for a vision – for a better world – the conflict itself cannot be the vision!
This reminds me of what George Kennan, the architect of the cold war, wrote: to win he said that America had to “create among the peoples of the world generally the impression of a country which knows what it wants, which is coping successfully with the problems of its internal life and with the responsibilities of a World Power, and which has a spiritual vitality capable of holding its own among the major ideological currents of the time”
Does America give this impression today?
Even in my own country, France. Ask any French person what Macron’s vision for the future of France and the world is, what the grand plan is, and you’ll get very puzzled looks. “Reform the pension system so we have to work longer?”
The truth is there’s nothing, nada, rien!
What we have essentially in the West are political operators. They think their jobs are to get reelected and to attempt to move whatever metrics the electorate cares about: GDP, unemployment, debt levels, CO2 emissions, etc. Actual leaders have gone extinct (or gone East).
It’s actually quite sad, really speaks to the levels of intellectual decrepitude in the West today. The time of the Enlightenment, the big revolutions is well and truly gone. We’re stuck with our mediocre operators.
It’s also why this is such a dangerous time. A positive vision brings confidence, it brings hope, it motivates, it makes people look forward to what’s to come. The West has none of that today.
The future is scary, the dominant feelings are fear and anger.
And when there’s a lot of fear and anger, these feelings need to be directed somewhere. And our operators certainly don’t want it to be them! So it’s China, Iran, all those “foreigners” who “hate our freedom”.
Perfect recipe for a very bad conflict…
Please, don’t get fooled!
MUST WATCH: The brilliant Professor Sachs speaks the truth and offers his wisdom and advice for humanity.
"The real struggle of the world is to live together and overcome our common crises of environment and inequality."
Bertrand’s musings echo a recent quote by Professor Jeffrey Sachs at the Athens Democracy Forum: “The single biggest mistake of president Biden was to say ‘the greatest struggle of the world is between democracies and autocracies’. The real struggle of the world is to live together and overcome our common crises of environment and inequality.”
Indeed, we could be striving toward a positive vision for the future, one which seeks “common prosperity” and “improved international relations,” one which works to remedy inequality and address the looming environmental crisis. Instead the world is being bifurcated, split in two, which history tells us is probably an indication that something extremely terrible is on the horizon for our species unless we drastically change course.
We could have such a wonderful, healthy, collaborative world, and it’s being flushed down the toilet because an empire is using its leverage over the wealthiest populations on our planet to work toward dominating all the other populations. This stupid, insane quest to shore up unipolar planetary domination is costing us everything while gaining us nothing, and it’s going to be the poorest and weakest among us who suffer the most as a result.
What is happening to the city of Vancouver? Who is responsible for the surge in violent crime? And is the introduction of a “safe supply” of toxic drugs, including heroin and cocaine, really the solution the city needs? Here’s what you need to know
Don’t ask why western officials, scholars and strategists have spent years warning that the actions of western governments would lead to this war. Don’t ask what people are talking about when they say the US provoked this war, or when they say the US is using this war to advance strategic agendas it has had in place for years, or when they suggest that these things might have something to do with why the US is obstructing diplomatic solutions at every turn. If you ask questions like these, you are the worst person in the world.
Nearly all Americans who take prescription drugs also take all CDC ‘recommended’ vaccines and do NOT eat clean. This is a ‘prescription’ for a miserable “career” of sick care that only addresses the symptoms of the diseases and disorders caused by the direct consumption of chemical food, chemical medicine and deadly vaccinations. These folks pay no attention to all the corporate CHEMICALS like pesticides in produce and non-stick cookware that leaches out PFOA chemicals into their food.

Are you one of those people who enter grocery stores and wander down the “corporate aisles” wondering what to buy for breakfasts, lunches and dinners? Maybe you’re cooking up some desserts or going on a trip and trying to load up on some goodies for that. The corporate aisles are all the ones that run down the middle of the store, where everything is boxed, canned and packaged up, chock full of additives and preservatives that are nearly all toxic for human consumption, but who knows that?
Maybe you are also one of those consumers who shops at the drug store for over-the-counter (OTC) “medications” and “treatments” for colds, allergies, the flu and all kinds of symptom-relieving toxic products.
Americans on prescription drugs are trapped in a vicious cycle and remain the most health-damaged humans on the planet
Nearly all Americans who take prescription drugs also take all CDC ‘recommended’ vaccines and do NOT eat clean. This is a ‘prescription’ for a miserable “career” of sick care that only addresses the symptoms of the diseases and disorders caused by the direct consumption of chemical food, chemical medicine and deadly vaccinations. These folks pay no attention to all the corporate CHEMICALS like pesticides in produce and non-stick cookware that leaches out PFOA chemicals into their food.
So it begins, before birth, as many mothers are fooled by corporate America’s treatment for unborn children, as well as newborn babies. Their little bodies get shot up with the toxins in vaccines, including heavy metal poisons, formaldehyde, genetically modified viruses and bacteria, and now deadly clot-forming spike protein prions for “Covid.”
Even pregnant mothers are dosed up with prescription medications that cause horrific side effects, blood problems, white blood cell issues, immune system malfunctions, severe allergies, and more. Then the newborns are shot up with vaccines right away, and fed baby ‘formula’ that contains processed junk science food stuff, genetically modified soy and corn oils, solids, sugars and allergens. It all leads to diabetes and cancer.
Most kids and teenagers are allowed by their parents to buy fast food regularly, order pizzas, eat entire sub sandwiches, and snack on snacks that contain carcinogens even rats and roaches shouldn’t be consuming. Two out of every three Americans burn the candle at both ends, taking toxic medicine (and jabs) and eating chemical-laced food every meal, every drink and every snack. Then they’re all prescribed symptom-quelling poisons that never address the root of the problem, because no MD in America is ever allowed to point out that toxic vaccines, food and the very medicine they are prescribing are causing the health detriment to get even worse. It’s a recipe for disaster.
The online censorship of vital information is the main reason that over 200 million Americans are stuck in a trifecta of poisonous consumption habits. Censorship by omission of key research keeps the sheeple sick and in the dark. That’s why they all UNDERESTIMATE the health detriment caused by the food, medicine and vaccines. They hear a story here and there about a couple people who may have had an allergic reaction to something somewhere once, but they turned out to be just fine.
That’s the narrative called “catch and release.” Pharma and MSM explain away a few cases of disaster, and cover up, censor, ban and delete from history all of the rest. If the populace where to catch wind that they’re all medical guinea pigs suffering from the trifecta of poisons, they might have a chance at snapping out of their hypnotic trance.

The risk of myocarditis is 800 times higher for vaccinated than unvaccinated young adults, according to a recent Swiss study that is now gaining traction in the press.
The results were based on the presentation by Prof. Christian Mueller (Basel, Switzerland) at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in August 2022: “Myocardial Inflammation/Myocarditis After COVID-19 mRNA Booster Vaccination.” According to the presentation at the conference:
Prior to this study, there were no prospective data on post-vaccination myocardial lesions during vaccination with an mRNA vaccine. Only the most serious hospitalized myocarditis have been reported, mainly affecting men under 18 years of age.
The actual incidence of post-vaccination myocardial lesions is 2.8% vs 0.0035% of myocarditis in retrospective studies
Myocardial lesions affect women more — contrary to what is described in previous studies.
The possibility of repeated doses of vaccine in order to maintain effective vaccination coverage should lead to great caution regarding possible repeated myocardial lesions and their impact on possible cardiovascular complications.
“We know that there are potentially serious side effects to the COVID 19 mRNA vaccine such as myocarditis,” the authors state. “In retrospective data, the main cardiac complication is myocarditis, which remains rare with an incidence of 0.0035% and mainly affects young men under 18 years of age.”
“However, there is a selection bias because only serious cases requiring hospitalization are reported,” the authors continue. “The true incidence of myocardial damage would therefore likely be much higher in the general population. Moreover, due to the need for repeated doses and the large number of people to be vaccinated, even this rare complication is not anecdotal.”
The researchers then reveal how they conducted their study.

“A total of 835 patients were included, including 777 who received troponinemia assay on D3, among these patients 40 had increased troponinemia,” the researchers note. “In 18 of them, causes other than the vaccine were identified that could explain the elevated troponinemia, and in the remaining 22 no cause other than the vaccine was implicated. The population studied was mainly composed of women (69%), the average age was 37 years and the patients overwhelmingly received their 3rd dose ( 92%). Less than 2% of them had a cardiovascular history.”
“The results of the study found that 2.8% of the vaccinated population had myocardial lesions, 3.7% in women and 0.8% in men.”
“In addition, it can be noted that the troponinemia in the vaccinated population seems higher than in the control group without the statistical test having been carried out,” the authors add.
“The incidence of myocardial lesions is 2.8%, or 800 times higher than the usual incidence of myocarditis,” the researchers add.
“The comparison with the control group found no significant difference apart from the history of myocardial infarction and peripheral atheromatous disease,” the authors added.
Dr. Vinay Prasad, a professor at the University of California at San Francisco, discussed the findings on his podcast channel. (You can watch Dr. Prasad’s entire discussion on Youtube here.)
“This is an elegant figure,” Dr. Prasad notes about the figure above. “This is sort of a waterfall figure as we’re used to an oncology, but presented for troponin where troponins are shown in descending order. And what they’ve done here, for every man and every woman in this study, they have found a comparable control that is covariate match. Now, covariate matching isn’t perfect and we can, we can talk about that, but this is, you know, the best available technique matching. You can listen to his talk to see how he did it.”
“What is he trying to show you here?” Dr. Prasad asks about Mueller’s study. “The controls are the light gray and the dark gray. The dark gray black basically is the people there followed after the booster. And what he’s showing you is it’s not just the tip of the distribution that has elevated high sensitive troponin, it’s that the entire distribution is right-shifted. Everybody’s having a little bit of elevation in high-sensitive troponin.”
Dr. Prasad also discusses why the findings on troponin levels and subclinical myocarditis in recipients of the Covid-19 shots and boosters are so much higher in Mueller’s study than is being detected through “passive surveillance” in the United States.
“The US system is incredibly flawed and many cases are slipping through the cracks and that’s very likely the reason why our estimates are slightly less frequent than the Israeli estimates and the estimates that come from Nordic countries where they are much better at tracking outcomes,” he says. “He says that this is ‘mostly mild.’ There’s no major adverse cardiac-vascular events that occur within 30 days. I think that’s fair to say. We’re not worried that this is going to be that detrimental, just one shot here or there. But we do know that kids who present with clinical myocarditis, actually they don’t do so well. You can go check that Lancet paper. Many are still taking furosemide and beta blockers and I know people say that they have fully recovered, but if I was 22 and I have to take furosemide, I would consider that’s not fully recovered.”
Then Dr. Prasad proceeds to discuss how the CDC’s fixation on one-size-fits-all solutions to Covid-19 are causing it to ignore that patients have widely diverging risk factors.
“All roads lead to Covid-19. Okay?” he says. “There may be more risk from the Covid-19 with less and less shielding with less and less vaccine in you. That might have a higher risk of bad outcomes. But as you get more and more doses in you, the risk of severe disease is going to fall. I mean, of course it’s going to fall. We have multiple data that shows that. But every time you get an additional dose of vaccine, you have some risk of myocarditis. And the Katie Sharff paper suggests that it’s about one in 10,000 from the booster. Does it have a floor? We don’t know if it has a floor and there’s subclinical myocarditis to pair with it. That’s the Mueller paper. So at some point, this trade off is likely to be unfavorable and it’s very likely to be different from an 80-year-old woman to a 18-year-old man. We have to acknowledge that.”
“We have to acknowledge that the CDC is playing a stupid game,” Dr. Prasad continued. “This is what they just did. Everyone five years and older should get an updated booster. You can get it at least two months after your last dose of booster for 20-year-old man. We don’t know if two months is safe or not safe, and we do have a failure here.”
The US government did not take this safety signal seriously,” he added. “We should have made the company do randomized trials of different doses, different spacing between the doses, lowering the doses, different strategies for men, randomized trials in people who’ve had and recovered from Covid-19 versus those who have not had it to their knowledge and who are zero-negative. We need different customized recommendations. A 20-year-old boy who got three doses and had Omicron may not benefit from the bivalent booster the same way an 80-year-old woman who’s in a nursing home who’s gotten four doses and has never had Omicron to her knowledge might — this could be very different. The risk benefit profile could be fundamentally different.”
“Their zealotry for a one-size-fits-all solution is threatening the very institution of public health,” he added. “They have lost their minds.”
“The worst decision making I’ve ever seen,” he added.
Criminals in Finland have got hold of some of the weapons that were sent to Ukraine by its Western backers amid the conflict with Russia, the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has said.
“We’ve seen signs of these weapons already finding their way to Finland,” NBI detective superintendent Christer Ahlgren told the news outlet Yle on Sunday.
Assault rifles were among the weaponry, Ahlgren said, but declined to provide further details, as the investigation is still ongoing.
Arms trafficking routes from Ukraine to Finland have already been set up, according to the investigator.
“Three of the world’s largest motorcycle gangs — that are part of larger international organizations — are active in Finland. One of these is Bandidos MC, which has a unit in every major Ukrainian city,” he said.
“Criminal organizations have their networks in Finnish commercial ports,” Ahlgren pointed out, adding that security checks that are mandatory for airport staff do not apply to port workers.
Finland is not the only EU country with such problems, as “weapons shipped to Ukraine have also been found in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands,” he said.
“Ukraine has received a large volume of weapons and that’s good, but we’re going to be dealing with these arms for decades and pay the price here,” Ahlgren pointed out.
As early as May, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stressed the need for accountability for American arms supplied to Ukraine. Back then, Austin said he had discussed the issue with the Kiev authorities, who gave assurances on accountability.
In June, the EU’s law enforcement agency Europol warned that the Ukraine conflict could lead to a spike in arms and ammo being smuggled into the bloc.
Around the same time, an investigation by RT Russian revealed that various weapons supplied to Kiev by the West were being sold on the dark net.
Moscow has long criticized weapons deliveries to Kiev by the US, EU, UK and some other nations, arguing that they only prolong the conflict and increase the risk of a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.
Former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva clinched victory over his right-wing rival Jair Bolsonaro in a tightly contested second round of the Brazilian election on Sunday. The country’s election authority announced Lula’s narrow win with 50.9% of the vote to Bolsonaro’s 49.1%.
“This isn’t a victory of mine or the Workers’ Party… It’s the victory of a democratic movement that formed above political parties, personal interests and ideologies so that democracy came out victorious,” Lula told a cheering crowd of supporters in Sao Paulo on Sunday night.
The president-elect acknowledged that following such a tight race a challenge to his future mandate will be “immense,” and stressed that “it is necessary to rebuild the very soul of this country, recover generosity, solidarity, respect for differences and love for others.”
Lula, who is set to take office on 1 January 2023, promised to be a president for all 215 million Brazilians, not just those who voted for him. “There are not two Brazils. We are one country, one people – a great nation.”
Bolsonaro has yet to publicly concede defeat. The incumbent repeatedly warned during his campaign that he would contest the results if he were to lose by a narrow margin, calling into question the reliability of Brazil’s electronic voting system.
After polls closed nationwide at 5pm local time (8pm GMT), initial results showed Bolsonaro ahead. However, just as in the first round, his lead eventually narrowed as more votes from da Silva’s strongholds were counted. In the first round on October 2, da Silva received over 48% of the vote, which was not enough to claim immediate victory.
Lula da Silva, who represents Brazil’s Workers’ Party, has focused his campaign on overcoming social inequality and alleviating poverty. Among the measures he proposes are raising taxes on the rich, widening the social safety net, and increasing the minimum wage.
Bolsonaro’s campaign slogan has been ‘God, family, homeland, and liberty’. His vision of Brazil’s future includes privatizing the country’s state-owned oil company, opening the Amazon region to more mining, and easing gun regulations.
In the run-up to the showdown, the rivals repeatedly traded insults during campaign events. In a televised debate on October 17, Lula called Bolsonaro a “tiny little dictator” and pledged to defend freedom and democracy. The incumbent fired back, calling Lula “a national embarrassment,” due to the corruption scandals that took place when Lula’s Workers’ Party (PT) was in power.
Lula, who governed Brazil from 2003 to 2010, was barred from running for president in 2018 after being jailed on corruption charges that were later overturned.
In 1996 citizens of Varginha, Brazil, reported seeing a UFO crash and possible, alien, survivors. Filmmaker James Fox investigates those claims in his new film “Moment of Contact.” HLN’s Susan Hendricks talks to Fox about this alleged “close encounter of the third kind” and NASA’s new 9-month study into more recent, military, UFO or UAP (Unidentified Arial Phenomenon) sightings.
