While average Ukrainians suffer amid NATO’s proxy war against Russia, business is booming for the surrogate baby industry, which requires a steady supply of financially desperate women to lease their wombs to affluent foreigners
This is if you assume occupying Afghanistan was actually about "defeating the Taliban." That was the public justification. It was actually about turning the country into a CIA-controlled narco-state and creating a giant black hole for arms & money laundering US taxpayer funds. https://t.co/PxRrav99JC
ACE2 coding variants in different populations and their potential impact on SARS-CoV-2 binding affinity
Abstract
The
susceptibility of different populations to SARS-CoV-2 infection is not
yet understood. Here, we combined ACE2 coding variants' analysis in
different populations and computational chemistry calculations to probe
the effects on SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 interaction. ACE2-K26R; which is most
frequent in Ashkenazi Jewish population decreased the SARS-CoV-2/ACE2
electrostatic attraction. On the contrary, ACE2-I468V, R219C, K341R,
D206G, G211R increased the electrostatic attraction; ordered by binding
strength from weakest to strongest. The aforementioned variants are most
frequent in East Asian, South Asian, African and African American,
European, European and South Asian populations, respectively.................
The needle on my
schadenfreude meter jumped so hard to the right that it’s stuck there in
red zone, where my soul is endangered by excessive pleasure in the
suffering of another. It must be because I find Canada’s Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau such a phony doofus, pretending to be a model of
unpretentious tolerance while destroying the civil liberties of his
opponents (as in the brutal repression of the Ottawa Freedom Convoy
demonstrations against his extreme Covid lockdown).
The former high school drama teacher
certainly loves role playing, including costumes, as in his notorious
familial cosplay during a trip to India 5 years ago that was so over the
top that many locals felt uncomfortable:.......
An online survey requested by VRT (the national broadcaster here in Belgium) and the newspaper De Standaard
shows that 60% of Flemish people are in favor of replacing democracy
with a technocracy – a form of government in which experts make
decisions instead of democratically elected politicians. In fact, 35%
also want a strong leader "who doesn't have to worry about parliament
and elections".
A survey is just a survey, of course. In
the same study, 81% of respondents also say they swear by a democratic
system. These conflicting results could mean anything. That the survey
should not be taken seriously. Or that man doesn’t always know what he
desires.
In any case, I assume that VRT
is not surprised by the population's inclination for technocracy. Have
they not done exactly this in the last three years: created public
broadcasting in which politicians were put behind society's school desks
as children and the ‘experts’ as teachers at the front of the class?
Let me add right away: I’m not surprised that the mainstream media has
chosen this approach. And certainly not that part of the population goes
along with it. Within the dominant view of man and the world, this
choice is not only perfectly logical, it is an ethical duty................
Journalists Attacking The Film ‘Sound Of Freedom’ Should Have Their Hard Drives Investigated
By Brandon Smith
I recently went to see the movie
Sound Of Freedom with the expectation of a moderate level of political
commentary or religious pontificating, given the rabid and widespread
attacks on the film by the leftist media. All I knew going in was that
the indie production was about child trafficking and that the mainstream
media HATES IT. After the film was over, my first thought was that it
was an excellent story about a very dark and difficult issue. My second
thought was – “What the hell was all the fuss about? There’s not a
single political moment in the entire movie!”
The media war on the
low budget flick is so bizarre given this fact that I am immediately
suspicious of their intentions. Not one political message, not one
momentary critique of the political left, not one moment where MAGA or
Trump or “Q-Anon” is mentioned, not one “conspiracy theory.” So why all
the hate?
Before reading this review any further I highly
recommend you check out some of the hatchet job articles published about
Sound Of Freedom to get a sense of what I’m talking about – examples
are here, here, here and here.
The
first thing you’ll probably notice is that the majority of these
vitriolic diatribes use the exact same talking points – They suggest
that The Sound Of Freedom is based in conspiracy theory, far-right
extremism and that it is funded by a subversive network of “Q-Anon
adjacent” conservatives. Some journalists have even attacked the
veracity of the film’s true story – the career of DHS agent Tim Ballard,
who operated covertly to take down child sex traffickers in Central
America...............
Randy Hillier, former Member of Ontario Provincial Parliament, was
one of the most powerful voices against government COVID mandates. He
founded No More Lockdowns, an organization that provided lawn signs, and
organized protests and gatherings for Ontarians who opposed
restrictions and mandatory vaccination. When thousands of Freedom Convoy
truck drivers and their supporters converged on Parliament Hill to
protest border restrictions on the unvaccinated, Randy was there,
lending his support.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a Tweet by Randy saying that he had
an impersonator on Twitter. I was shocked when I tried to report the
imposter and, even though Randy and I follow each other, I was not able
to find Randy’s real profile when I did a Twitter search for him.
Randy’s real Twitter profile was being hidden, and someone pretending
to be him was showing up in the search instead. It was mind-boggling to
think that a former Parliamentarian with nearly 75,000 followers would
be completely suppressed in the search, so I decided to reach out to
Randy and see what else has been going on in his life since the mandates
were lifted...................
The Pentagon planned to use its biolaboratories in Africa to
test unregistered medicines on local populations for the sake of “big
pharma,” Tass reported on 19 July, based on documents found in Ukraine.
According
to the Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection
Troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, documents found by the Russian
military at a US biolaboratory in Ukraine indicate that the Pentagon
planned to use the US army to test unregistered medical drugs on the
local population in African countries. The testing would involve
biolaboratories and facilitating agencies, such as Metabiota, which has
links to Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden. The results would
then be provided to US regulatory agencies "in the interests of the
so-called big pharma."
"We have repeatedly pointed to the
company’s ties with the son of the US incumbent president, Hunter Biden,
and government organizations. Notably, Metabiota’s representatives
admit that, as a matter of fact, they are establishing ties to ensure
the Pentagon and other American agencies’ work abroad," Kirillov added.
He
also said that Ukraine’s Science and Technology Center and other
Pentagon contractors were taking an active part in these activities.............
In a massive show of support for limitless executive power,
Congress rejected legislation that would have terminated national
emergency powers allowing Washington to wage war across the Middle East –
and to test biological weapons on US citizens.
Led by Representative Paul Gosar, a
handful of Republican members of Congress launched a protest against 41
nominal “national emergency” declarations, many of which are decades
old.
Rep. Gosar has argued the National Emergencies Act is “tyrannical,” granting 148 separate powers to the executive branch.
This July 18, the House voted down
five resolutions to terminate national emergency powers which date back
as far as 2003. The countries affected by the five resolutions include
Congo, Yemen, Libya, Syria and Iraq.
Each vote saw a coalition of pro-war
Democrats and Republicans join together in overwhelming numbers to
protect the executive branch’s emergency authorities.
Among the emergency declarations
still in effect is one authorizing war on Libya on the basis that
Muammar Ghadhafi posed an urgent threat to the US; one enabling economic
warfare on Syria on the specious grounds that Damascus sponsors
international terrorism; and another allowing the president to support
Saudi Arabia’s military assault on Yemen, which resulted in the world’s
worst humanitarian catastrophe.
Yet another emergency declaration provides the authority for the US government to test biological weapons on American citizens..................
It's been 18 months since Canada's Freedom Convoy rocked the world,
when truckers from all corners of Canada descended on Ottawa to protest
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's
vindictive and punishing vaccine mandates. The three-week long protest
was a joyous expression of human solidarity in the face of two years of
ginned up moral panic and psychological warfare perpetrated against
Canadians by their own government, and the shockwaves were felt
throughout the world—both from the power of the protest and the vicious
response to it by Trudeau.
While the Convoy was still hundreds of kilometers from Ottawa, Trudeau's Public Safety Minister, Marco Mendocino, was planning
a media campaign deploying "a similar message to the one used in
response to the Jan. 6 attacks in Washington, D.C." which would
emphasize the "more extreme elements" of the protestors. Trudeau memed
himself into believing that a January 6 type insurrection was about to
storm Parliament Hill, and promptly vacated the city to hide at a chalet
in rural Quebec, where he remained for several days.
The Freedom Convoy did not deliver on any of these manufactured concerns. In the three weeks of the protest, not a single violent act was committed. The protesters cleaned the streets
of Ottawa and fed the homeless, and the weekends were raucous and
joyful, with techno dance parties in the streets lasting into the wee
hours.......
The Hidden Side Of 'Gender-Affirming Care' Driving Transgender Mental Health Problems And Suicide
Wearing a black cowboy hat, a red “America First” T-shirt, and a silver cross, you would never know Matt Rey was born female.
At 24, Rey transitioned from female-to-male (FTM). Now 32, Rey is experiencing serious health complications resulting from an overprescription of testosterone and a mastectomy.
Rey
is part of a growing number of “detransitioners” returning to the
gender of their birth—now warning youth considering “gender-affirming
care” not to do it. “While I understand transition does not go badly for
everyone, many trans people can have health complications later in
life. If you are young, please don’t do this to yourself. Transitioning
is NOT for kids. Parents, don’t do this to your children! The risks are
too high,” Rey wrote on Twitter.
“Gender-affirming
care,” which includes the administration of hormones and sex
reassignment surgery, is claimed by advocates to save lives, however, this proposed remedy may actually be what’s driving the high mortality rate in the transgender community.
Authors of a recent Danish study
of transgender suicide wrote: “Transgender individuals may be exposed
to systemic negativity regarding their trans identity in the form of
bullying, discrimination, exclusion, and prejudice, which in turn may
result in alienation and internalized stigma, mental health problems,
and, ultimately, suicidal behavior.”....
Ukraine continues to fire internationally-banned
anti-personnel mines on civilian areas of Donetsk and other cities in
the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), in violation of international law
and of the mine ban convention Ukraine signed in 1999 and ratified in 2005.
Since July 27, Ukraine has
been firing rockets containing cluster munitions filled with banned
PFM-1 “Petal” (or “Butterfly”) anti-personnel mines all over Donetsk and
surrounding areas. Each rocket contains over 300 of the mines. Already
by August 3, the DPR’s Ministry of Emergency Situations noted that Ukraine had fired several thousand of the prohibited mines on Donetsk.
As of August 15, 44 civilians, including two children, have suffered gruesome injuries. Another mine victim died in hospital.
Younger children don’t know that the mines aren’t toys, and elderly
often simply don’t see them, or likewise don’t understand the danger, as
was the case with an elderly lady with dementia who, on August 8, lost a foot as a result of stepping on a mine while she was going to work in her garden plot.......
Nato isn't defending Ukraine. It's stabbing it in the back
The US and its allies are sustaining the very war they now cite as grounds for disqualifying Kyiv from Nato membership
The Nato summit in Lithuania this week served only to underscore the utter hypocrisy of western leaders in pursuing their proxy war in Ukraine to “weaken” Russia and oust its president, Vladimir Putin.
Both the US and Germany had made clear before the summit that they would block Ukraine’s admission to Nato while it was in the midst of a war with Russia. That message was formally announced by Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fumed
that Nato had reached an “absurd” decision and was demonstrating
“weakness”. British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace lost no time in rebuking him for a lack of “gratitude”. .........
Targeted for Tyranny: We’re All Suspects Under the Government’s Precrime Program
By John & Nisha Whitehead
We’re all being targeted now.
We’re all guilty until proven innocent now.
And thanks to the 24/7 surveillance being carried out by the
government’s spy network of fusion centers, we are all now sitting
ducks, just waiting to be tagged, flagged, targeted, monitored,
manipulated, investigated, interrogated, heckled and generally harassed by agents of the American police state.
Although these precrime programs are popping up all across the
country, in small towns and big cities, they are not making us any safer
but they are endangering individual freedoms.
Nationwide, there are upwards of 123 real-time crime centers
(a.k.a. fusion centers), which allow local police agencies to upload
and share massive amounts of surveillance data and intelligence with
state and federal agencies culled from surveillance cameras, facial
recognition technology, gunshot sensors, social media monitoring, drones
and body cameras, and artificial intelligence-driven predictive
policing algorithms.
While these latest expansions of the surveillance state are part of
the Biden Administration’s efforts to combat domestic extremism through
the creation of a “precrime” crime prevention agency, they have long been a pivotal part of the government’s plans for total control and dominion.
Yet this crime prevention campaign is not so much about making
America safer as it is about ensuring that the government has the
wherewithal to muzzle anti-government discontent, penalize anyone
expressing anti-government sentiments, and preemptively nip in the bud any attempts by the populace to challenge the government’s authority or question its propaganda.
As J.D. Tuccille writes for Reason, “[A]t a time when
government officials rage against ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’
that is often just disagreement with whatever opinions are currently
popular among the political class, fusion centers frequently scrutinize peaceful dissenting speech.”
Indeed, while the Biden Administration was recently dealt a legal blow
over its attempts to urge social media companies to do more to combat
so-called dis- and mis-information, these fusion centers are the
unacknowledged powerhouses behind the government’s campaign to censors
and retaliate against those who vocalize their disagreement and
discontent with government policies.......
I haven't seen it yet, but I will. Having read so much about child trafficking and the rapes of minors and the stories on the torture of kids to terrify them and then harvest them of their blood for adrenochrome, a word that I didn't know about a few years ago, a word that my brain can't learn to spell and every time I have to write it, I have to check the spelling on the net. I used to think that people actually drinking children's blood and that children's blood is being sold to the evil ones of this world was just a conspiracy theory but before writing this item, I googled if it was true and this is what I found, but I haven't gone into any of the items for further reading, there's only so much one can bear.
Sooo, without further ranting of my own, below are some of the reviews. Luke Rudowski of We Are Change is already on record stating that this movie will be the movie of the year if not the decade.
The action film starring Jim Caviezel is based on the true story of former federal agent Tim Ballard and his mission
to save children from human trafficking. On its first day, the film
took the number one spot at the box office, grossing over $14 million
through "pay it forward" and direct box office sales.
The film has reportedly earned nearly all of its budget back on its opening day.
"Sound
of Freedom" beat "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," which played
in nearly 2,000 more theaters and had a reported budget of $295 million.
The franchise sequel took in $11 million and the second-place slot on July 4.oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Some self-described leftists are seeking to cancel events calling for peace. In their hostility to criticism of Canadian foreign policy, they even blamed a NATO critic for anti-queer violence.
On June 19, Dimitri Lascaris began a cross country speaking tour on “Making Peace With Russia, One Handshake At A Time.” A cabal of US and Canadian military funded figures such as Marcus Kolga and Jean-Christophe Boucher, as well as the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and Ukrainian Embassy, campaigned to shut down events seeking to end the violence and danger of nuclear war. Despite requiring advanced tickets and only revealing the locales at the last-minute, five venues buckled to pressure and canceled.
A segment of the “left” openly supported the remarkable cancel campaign. Alongside calling Lascaris a ‘Putin puppet’, Russian funded or a ‘tankie’, some ‘progressives’ even blamed Lascaris for recent violence targeting a University of Waterloo gender studies class.
Amidst the bid to cancel Lascaris’ tour The A.C.E.R.B.I.C. Nerd Twitter handle (purportedly former leftist activist and current actor Jonah Hundert) built an extremely tenuous case for de-platforming him. While criticizing Lascaris for a multitude of purported misdeeds, they focused on his associations, notably individuals they considered anti-trans. At one point the account even argued that leftists shouldn’t criticize moves to de-platform Lascaris since trans activists have employed this tactic in the past.....
Chris Hedges: Journalists Abandoned Julian Assange and Slit Their Own Throats
The failure by journalists to mount a campaign to free Julian Assange,
or expose the vicious smear campaign against him, is one more
catastrophic and self-defeating blunder by the news media.
LONDON: The persecution of Julian Assange, along
with the climate of fear, wholesale government surveillance and use of
the Espionage Act to prosecute whistleblowers, has emasculated
investigative journalism. The press has not only failed to mount a
sustained campaign to support Julian, whose extradition appears imminent, but no longer attempts to shine a light into the inner workings of power. This failure is not only inexcusable, but ominous.
The U.S. government, especially the military and agencies such as the
CIA, the FBI, the NSA and Homeland Security, have no intention of
stopping with Julian, who faces 170 years in prison if found guilty of violating 17
counts of the Espionage Act. They are cementing into place mechanisms
of draconian state censorship, some features of which were exposed by Matt Taibbi in the Twitter Files, to construct a dystopian corporate totalitarianism.
The U.S. and the U.K. brazenly violated a
series of judicial norms and diplomatic protocols to keep Julian
trapped for seven years in the Ecuadorian Embassy after he had been
granted political asylum by Ecuador. The CIA, through the Spanish
security firm UC Global, made recordings of Julian’s meetings with his attorneys, which alone should invalidate the extradition case. Julian has been held for more than four years in the notorious Belmarshhigh-securityprison since the British Metropolitan Police dragged him
out of the embassy on April 11, 2019. The embassy is supposed to be the
sovereign territory of Ecuador. Julian has not been sentenced in this
case for a crime. He is charged under the Espionage Act, although he is
not a U.S. citizen and WikiLeaks is not a U.S.-based publication. The
U.K. courts, which have engaged in what can only be described as a show trial,
appear ready to turn him over to the U.S. once his final appeal, as we
expect, is rejected. This could happen in a matter of days or weeks. ................
Israel’s
new government is still taking shape, but some of the policy changes
being promoted are so Jewish-centric that they will inevitably impact disproportionately
on minority disadvantaged communities like the Palestinian Christians
and Muslims. The government itself is already being described in the
press as the “most extremist or right wing in Israel’s history,” though
what exactly that means is left to the perception of the reader. Several
government ministers have even at times been excoriated for some of
their extreme views inclusive of encouraging homicidal genocide or even
the complete removal of all non-Jews by force from the country and
occupied territories.
The
Joe Biden Administration, in which nearly half of all senior
appointments are Jews, as well as nearly everyone who deals with foreign
policy, is doing its part to comply with traditional White House
submission to Israel’s perceived interests. Israel is in the driving
seat, and Biden knows it, declaring himself to be personally a Zionist.
Much has been made of the fact that Biden has not invited Netanyahu to
the White House to congratulate him on his latest electoral victory over
concerns relating to the proposed judiciary changes and increasing settlement expansion, but it is clear that Israel and America’s Jewish Lobby are fully in control of both the White House and Congress................
