Young People Are Particularly Vulnerable To Lockdowns

Friday April 9, 2021

 http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2021/april/09/young-people-are-particularly-vulnerable-to-lockdowns/

 In response to the Covid-19 pandemic governments across the world implemented an unprecedented and untested strategy to slow the spread of the disease. Colloquially known as lockdowns, these public health interventions effectively shut down most normal societal functions through the use of stay-at-home orders, school closures, business closures, bans on large gatherings, and travel restrictions. This policy apparatus effectively relegated the vast majority of people to a form of self-quarantine and completely upended the standard social functioning of society. Although these measures were advertised in the United States as a short-term measure, the now infamous two weeks to flatten the curve policy to shut down societal functions to control the spread of Covid-19 dragged on for over a year. 

The damage to society was certainly extensive, with a 3.5 percent annualized economic retraction record in 2020 and a 32.9 percent decline in Q2 of 2020, making this one of the sharpest economic declines in modern history. However, the level of suffering and trauma caused by these policies cannot be appropriately expressed by economic data alone. .....

Exposing Western sickening myth of "Uighur genocide", by Luís Garcia

https://nomadicthoughts.blogs.sapo.pt/exposing-western-sickening-myth-of-87151

The US/NATO armed and financed Uighur terrorists in Syria.

The US bombed and killed Uighurs in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The US imprisoned and tortured Uighurs in occupied Guantanamo.

Yet, the US and its vassals claim to be concerned about a "Uighur genocide" in China.

How can someone (not utterly brainwashed) swallow such absurdity without even questioning it?

 

For instance, here are some Chinese Uighurs living in northern Syria and fighting alongside al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations: ..........................

BBC Propaganda Against China: Concentration Camps For Uighurs

https://maps.southfront.org/bbc-propaganda-against-china-concentration-camps-for-uighurs/


This article was written by Luís Garcia, author of the book VENEZUELA: Westerners have lost the ability to reason!, and of numerous articles published on his website Nomadic Thoughts. He is the translator of the Portuguese version of Andre Vltchek’s book Por Lula: O Brasil de Bolsonaro (For Lula: Bolsonaro’s Brazil) and has also collaborated with authors like Tim Anderson, Vanessa Beeley, Eva Bartlett, Stephen Gowans, and several others in the translation of their articles into Portuguese.

As Western Propaganda Machine can’t convince us to hate China with logical reasoning and intellectual honesty, BBC and many other Western media offer us emotional manipulation, with carefully selected words meant to transmit negative ideas about China.

Here’s an example: “In Xinjiang, displays of police might are everywhere”.

BBC employees surely heard about Goebbels, thus we can assume they know what they are doing:

There was no point in seeking to convert the intellectuals. For intellectuals would never be converted and would anyway always yield to the stronger, and this will always be ‘the man in the street.’ Arguments must therefore be crude, clear and forcible, and appeal to emotions and instincts, not the intellect. Truth was unimportant and entirely subordinate to tactics and psychology.”

Joseph Goebbels

This article proposes a full debunking of one of the most-watched videos on Youtube responsible for the creation of a myth that so many throughout the world now believe. Just like in the Western-proposed myths of the Chinese invasion of Africa or the nefariousness of the New Silk Road, the purpose is the very same: to damage the image of China as much as possible, a country seen by many others as the last hope for humankind..............................

China Blasts US Military Interventions in Human Rights Report

The report said the US was responsible for 81% of the world's armed conflicts between 1945 and 2001
Posted on

In the face of constant attacks by US officials over alleged human rights abuses, China released a report on Friday that blasts the US for its many military interventions that have created humanitarian disasters.

The report, titled “Severe Humanitarian Disasters Caused by US Aggressive Wars against Foreign Countries,” was released by the China Society for Human Rights Studies (CSHRS), which falls under China’s State Council Information Office.

“The majority of the aggressive wars were launched by the US unilaterally. They resulted in mass casualties and destruction of property and led to appalling humanitarian catastrophes. Such foreign interventions lay bare America’s selfishness and hypocrisy,” the report reads.

The report said that from the end of World War II to 2001, the US was responsible for 81 percent of the world’s armed conflicts. “According to incomplete statistics, from the end of World War II in 1945 to 2001, among the 248 armed conflicts that occurred in 153 regions of the world, 201 were initiated by the United States, accounting for 81 percent of the total number,” the study reads.................

Canada's Covid Weekly Harm and Injury Report- 27 Deaths: Health Canada's Bought and Paid For Influence Peddling 

https://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.com/2021/04/canadas-covid-weekly-harm-and-injury_12.html

 Because tax dollars should be spent on influence peddling? Am I right? ;)
 Health Canada continues to claim there are no concerns, but, has included this warning for the last couple of weeks.

Following rare European reports of blood clots associated with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), the National Advisory Committee on Immunization and the Chief Medical Officers of Health recently recommended that AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines should not be used in adults under age 55. This recommendation was made pending the outcome of the ongoing assessment by Health Canada. There have been no reports in Canada. However, Health Canada continues to gather information from the manufacturers and international regulators to complete its assessment.   
There have been some other issues in the UK, undoubtedly elsewhere as well,  with the AZ injection.Standard UK Capillary Leak Syndrome- On Friday, the European Medicines Authority (EMA) said it was investigating after five people who had the AstraZeneca jab developed capillary leak syndrome.  Nineteen people have died from rare blood clotting in the UK after taking the jab. 

Clearly more people have died in the UK then the last report I'd seen which had the number at 12. Prior to that admission the UK wasn't acknowledging any deaths at all. .......................................

Why NATO Destroyed Libya Ten Years Ago

https://www.mideastdiscourse.com/2021/04/13/why-nato-destroyed-libya-ten-years-ago/

 April 13

By: Manlio Dinucci, journalist and Researcher

Ten years ago, on March 19, 2011, US/NATO forces began their bombardment of Libya by air and by sea. The war was initiated directly by the United States, first through Africa Command (AFRICOM), and then through NATO under US command. Over the course of seven months, US/NATO airplanes carried out 30,000 missions, including 10,000 strikes involving over 40,000 bombs and missiles. Italy – with the consensus of its multi-party Parliament (with the Democratic Party-Pd in the front row) – played a part in the war, providing seven air bases (Trapani, Gioia del Colle, Sigonella, Decimomannu, Aviano, Amendola and Pantelleria), fighter-bombers Tornado, Eurofighter and other warplanes, and the Garibaldi aircraft carrier and other warships. Even before the air-naval offensive, tribal and Islamist groups hostile to the government had already been financed and armed, and special forces were infiltrated, especially by Qatar, in order to spread armed conflict within the country.

And that’s how an African country which, as documented by the World Bank in 2010, maintained “high levels of economic growth”, where GDP rose 7.5% a year, which demonstrated “high human development indicators” such as universal access to primary and secondary education and a 40% university attendance rate, came to be destroyed.

Taking disparities into account, the average standard of living in Libya was higher than in other African countries. About two million immigrants, mostly African, found work there. The Libyan state, which possessed the largest oil reserves in Africa, in addition to natural gas, ceded limited profit margins to foreign companies.

Thanks to energy exports, the Libyan balance of trade was in the black to the tune of $27 billion USD per year...............

The news media offers wall-to-wall propaganda every day: we only notice when a royal dies

https://dissidentvoice.org/2021/04/the-news-media-offers-wall-to-wall-propaganda-every-day-we-only-notice-when-a-royal-dies/

 

A few lessons to be learned from the wall-to-wall coverage of Prince Philip’s death in the British media:

1. There is absolutely no commercial reason for the media to be dedicating so much time and space to the Prince’s death. ITV, which needs eyeballs on its programmes to generate income from advertising, saw a 60 per cent drop in viewing figures after it decided to broadcast endless forelock-tugging. Audiences presumably deserted to Netflix and Youtube, where the mood of mourning was not being enforced. Many viewers, particularly younger ones, have no interest in the fact that a very old man just died, even if he did have lots of titles...............

Four Words Gates and His Pals Despise: Democracy and Minimum Support Price

https://dissidentvoice.org/2021/04/four-words-gates-and-his-pals-despise-democracy-and-minimum-support-price/

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and an assortment of high-profile figures and policy makers are pushing for unregulated gene-editing technologies, the rollout of bio-synthetic food created in laboratories, the expanded use of patented seeds and the roll back of subsidies and support for farmers in places like India.

These neoliberal evangelists despise democracy and believe that state machinery and public money should only facilitate the ambitions of their unaccountable mega-corporations.

Corporations are jumping on the ‘sustainability’ bandwagon by undermining traditional agriculture and genuine sustainable agrifood systems and packaging this corporate takeover of food as some kind of humanitarian endeavour..............

Financial Tyranny: Footing the Tax Bill for the Government’s Fiscal Insanity

 

https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/financial_tyranny_footing_the_tax_bill_for_the_governments_fiscal_insanity

 

We’re not living the American dream. We’re living a financial nightmare.

The U.S. government—and that includes the current administration—is spending money it doesn’t have on programs it can’t afford, and “we the taxpayers” are the ones who will be forced to foot the bill for the government’s fiscal insanity..............

..................

Let’s talk numbers, shall we?

The national debt (the amount the federal government has borrowed over the years and must pay back) is $28 trillion and growing. That translates to roughly $224,000 per taxpayer.

The government’s answer to the COVID-19 pandemic has been to throw more money at the problem in the form of stimulus checks, small business loans, unemployment benefits, vaccine funding, and financial bailouts for corporations. All told, the federal government’s COVID-19 spending has exceeded $4 trillion.

The Biden administration is proposing another $2 trillion in infrastructure spending.

The amount this country owes is now greater than its gross domestic product (all the products and services produced in one year by labor and property supplied by the citizens). And the top two foreign countries who “own” about a third of our debt are China and Japan.

That debt is also growing exponentially: it is expected to be twice the size of the U.S. economy by 2051.

Essentially, the U.S. government is funding its very existence with a credit card.

We’re paying more than $300 billion in interest every year on that public debt, not including what COVID-19 just added to the bill. That breaks down to more than $2400 per household........................

Latest Vaccine Flip-flop Gives the Vaccine Game Away

The Venous Sinus System, where slow blood flow apparently predisposes to clots after the Astra-Zeneca Covid vaccination

https://www.globalresearch.ca/latest-vaccine-flip-flop-gives-vaccine-game-away/5742040

The Astra-Zeneca “cheap and easy to store” “workhorse” vaccine causes blood clots in general, and in particular clots in the venous sinuses of the brain, which have killed or wounded a number of people, especially women under 55.  

The European Medicines Agency, the European Union’s regulator, said it is investigating at least 44 cases of the rare brain clots and at least 14 deaths among about 9.2 million vaccinations in 30 European countries...

As of March 29, Germany’s regulator has reported 31 cases of the unusual blood clots in 2.7 million people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine, nine of whom have died. 

The J and J vaccine was associated with blood clots in its clinical trial data presented to FDA.  Both vaccines use an adenovirus vector to deliver DS DNA that codes for spike protein, and human cellular machinery produces this protein, for an uncertain period of time in uncertain quantities. So blood clotting may be due to the adenovirus vector, or to the spike protein, or to something entirely different.

The mRNA vaccines use mRNA to code for the spike, using cellular machinery to produce the spike protein.  The end result of all 4 vaccines is similar, and again, we do not know for how long the body makes this protein.

If the spike itself induces clotting, which is a reasonable hypothesis scientists have put forth, but is unproven, then all 4 vaccines would be thrombogenic (induce clotting). Dr. Patrick Whelan tried to warn the FDA about this possibility, but was ignored.  He wrote:

Meinhardt et al. (Nature Neuroscience 2020, in press) show that the spike protein in brain endothelial cells is associated with formation of microthrombi (clots), and like Magro et al. do not find viral RNA in brain endothelium. In other words, viral proteins appear to cause tissue damage without actively replicating virus.

Is it possible the spike protein itself causes the tissue damage associated with Covid-19? Nuovo et al (in press) have shown that in 13/13 brains from patients with fatal COVID-19, pseudovirions (spike, envelope, and membrane proteins) without viral RNA are present in the endothelia of cerebral microvessels.

This is frightening information, providing a strong hint of the spike protein’s potential toxicity.........
