@QMS
many seem fearful that if they don't continue to be fearful of the current ‘fear du jour’ that their refusal might somehow perpetuate the madness, and that our fear will become endemic throughout the land, just like the virus has.
Damn those unvaccinated! It’s all their fault that we live in fear!

Perhaps the end is close to this madness.

Now these guys are pro-capitalists, but they call out the on-going swindle...
On September 17, 2019, the repo market crashed overnight, and almost two years ago in February 2020, the world became aware of the spread of COVID-19. Today’s guest says that he knew that from the beginning that something wasn’t adding up and that’s when he began his quest to find answers.
Chris Martenson is an economic researcher and futurist specializing in energy and resource depletion, and co-founder of PeakProsperity.com says, “The repo market was blowing up and COVID was the best thing that could have happened to a Federal Reserve that needed a reason to print trillions.”
Host Robert Kiyosaki and guest Chris Martenson discuss Chris’ research into the COVID-19 pandemic, and how answers can be found if we “follow the money.”

Today in the House, Members of Parliament unanimously condemned the antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we’ve seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together, let’s keep working to make Canada more inclusive.
EDIT to add...
More than just the tweet, his speech yesterday so mischaracterized the nature of the convoy, and evidently the shitlibs in the Canadian parliament are sticking with the narrative too. People are seeing through the BS. ...becomes clearer everyday.
Mandating leaky vaccines doesn't make sense and people know it. All as triple jabbed justin has COVID...for the second time.

"For all the encouragement that American health leaders drew from other countries’ success in withstanding the Omicron surge, the outcomes in the U.S. have been markedly different. Hospital admissions in the U.S. swelled to much higher rates than in Western Europe, leaving some states struggling to provide care. Americans are now dying from Covid at nearly double the daily rate of Britons and four times the rate of Germans.
The only large European countries to exceed America’s Covid death rates this winter have been Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Greece and the Czech Republic, poorer nations where the best Covid treatments are relatively scarce.
The New York Times writes: “The U.S. stands out as having a relatively high fatality rate,” said Joseph Dieleman, an associate professor at the University of Washington who has compared Covid outcomes globally. “There’s been more loss than anyone wanted or anticipated.”
As deadly as the Omicron wave has been, the situation in the United States is far better than it would have been without vaccines. The Omicron variant also causes less serious illness than Delta, even though it has led to staggering case numbers. Together, vaccines and the less lethal nature of Omicron infections have significantly reduced the share of people with Covid who are being hospitalized and dying during this wave.
In Western Europe, those factors have resulted in much more manageable waves. Deaths in Britain, for example, are one-fifth of last winter’s peak, and hospital admissions are roughly half as high.
But not so in the United States. Record numbers of Americans with the highly contagious variant have filled up hospitals in recent weeks and the average death toll is still around 2,500 a day.
Chief among the reasons is the country’s faltering effort to vaccinate its most vulnerable people at the levels achieved by more successful European countries.
Twelve percent of Americans 65 and over have not received either two shots of a Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or one Johnson & Johnson shot, which the C.D.C. considers fully vaccinated, according to the agency’s statistics.

And yet they are having more cases and hospitalizations than they had before the vax were rolled out. After they started giving them to the younger people they too are seeing exploding numbers and now there’s talk about giving them another booster. This seems to fit the definition of insanity.
Unfortunately they are not the only country experiencing this. Many other countries that have high vax rates are seeing the same thing. Hopefully it’s going to wake people up soon to see that the vax have utterly failed. And oh yeah now we have the stealth variant to deal with. Scary name huh? Stealth?

Uraguay and Israel are two of the world's leaders in vaccination rates putting the lie to the NYT propaganda. I've posted about the death rates climbing with the vaccination rates for a half a year (and more) now.

Health spending measures the final consumption of health care goods and services (i.e. current health expenditure) including personal health care (curative care, rehabilitative care, long-term care, ancillary services and medical goods) and collective services (prevention and public health services as well as health administration), but excluding spending on investments.

Big Pharma Imposed the “Vaccine” and “Digital Certificate”: “Undisclosed Contract” with EU Governments. Members of the EU Parliament Press Conference
MEPs Supporting the rights of workers against the mandatory Digital Certificate - press conference
On January 23 I reviewed on this website Kees Van Der Pijl’s new book, States of Emergency. Van Der Pijl answers the question so many people have of why and how a fake “deadly pandemic” was orchestrated with worldwide participation in the fraud.
He shows that the event was long in the making by a global elite consisting of philanthropists such as Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Wellcome Trust, elite organizations such as the World Economic Forum, tech companies and multi-billionaire owners, Fauci at NIH, CDC, FDA, WHO, pharmaceutical companies and lobbyists, and elite organizations and groups created for the purpose of concentrating power and advancing and protecting the global elites’ rule by using fear to condition the masses to being controlled and deprived of a voice and alternative explanations. I had been thinking along these lines, but lacked Van Der Pijl’s detailed knowledge of the personalities, organizations and groups and the interactions and cooperation between them. He gives us the story. It was an elaborate exercise in massive deception and censorship that was able to discredit the world’s most renowned medical scientists and to elevate pure fiction to fact and public policy
We need to read the book also to understand how things really work, how decisions are really made, how careers are made and ended by whether or not you serve the narrative and how well, how regulatory agencies such as FDA, NIH, CDC, WHO are in fact marketing departments for Big Pharma, how politicians’ positions are dictated by the sources of their campaign funds, why universities and the media must function as Ministries of Propaganda for the ruling elites and their narratives, how Fauci and Big Pharma control content in medical journals via grants to medical researchers. Van Der Pijl writes that pharmaceutical industry research grants make the industry the co-author of many articles and that more than half of all The Lancet‘s revenues come from pharmaceutical companies orders of reprints of articles supportive of their products. Van Der Pijl writes “According to the former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, who had 20 years of experience, it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the published clinical research.”
Is this an indication that a more deadly coronavirus is about to be released, one for which all treatments have been banned? See this.
Cui Bono?
Does anyone really believe that our government has our best interests at heart? If they did we know what they would have done for us long ago.
I hope people looked at the articles I posted yesterday because I think they have important information in them. They further expose what the PTB’S long term plans have been.
A 49 year old dem senator recently had a stroke, but he’s expected to fully recover. Every time I see a tweet about an injury it’s followed by many more people saying that it either happened to them or they know some one who had problems too. VAERS is just the tip of the iceberg of mass injuries and deaths. And still the titanic is running full stream ahead right toward it.

~Hannah Arendt
Last night I watched the first 5 minutes or so of a video from a hugely impressively pedigreed expert "explaining how even though omicron was "mild" it was record deadly. So I went back to 4th grade and examined the math. (his argument was strictly a mathematical one)
Don't stop me just because you've heard this before, but the record number of "covid deaths" is because there are so many covid infections - a smaller percentage of worst cases results giving an ultimately higher final number. 10% of 1000 is greater than 50% 0f 100. See the mistake? No, the mistake is in him thinking we're that gullible. His logic would work if all numbers meant the same thing, but omicron is not delta - it does not kill. At all. Ever. If omicron ever killed anyone it would have been reported, somewhere. It would not be hiding behind "it pushed him over the edge" like a business partner with a gambling problem and a life insurance policy.
But before that he revealed his really fatal flaw - the flaw that could not have been made in good faith - he repeated the "873,000 deaths" myth. Granted there have been at least 800,000+ deaths "with" covid, but no one who's job it is to understand the reality does not know the difference between with and from by now. And even a virologist who flunked out of his ESL class would not know that the American figures he was about to cite totally contradicted other country's data. Deaths are down everywhere. Everywhere but here and I guess Canada (HONK!) Some (ex. Italy) are even correcting massive overcounts. And that isn't omicron, that's all before omicron. His basic assumptions were just wrong.
But that was the point. He assumed that we would believe him when he implied that "experts" were immune from fear, from observational error, from peer pressure, from coersion from superiors, from basic lizard brain prejudice. All we have to do is believe the experts, his experts. This week.
bacterial infections! They want to do so because they may have important advantages over many commercial drugs. For example, many natural plant antibiotics like quercetin and berberine help combat drug resistance in strains of bacteria i.e. superbugs. The Big Pharma firms cant stand the fact that phytochemicals are virtually free, often safe and many are even remarkably healthy. They are too good to be legal. Now it seems a similar story is playing out with natural substances that fight COVID and other betacoronaviridae like resveratrol, picead, and other similar stilbenes. Heads up! We're being brainwashed so that we will allow the corporate state to steal plant medicines, which are where the science of medicine originated, fully one third of all drugs originated in plants. There is a huge theft thats being attempted by the corporate superstate, led by the US and EU transnational drug corporations. .

Abstract
Background: The world has been unprecedentedly hit by a global pandemic which broke the record of deadly pandemics that faced humanity ever since its existence. Even kids are well-versed in the terminologies and basics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 now. The vaccination program has been successfully launched in various countries, given that the huge global population of concern is still far behind to be vaccinated. Furthermore, the scarcity of any potential drug against the COVID-19-causing virus forces scientists and clinicians to search for alternative and complementary medicines on a war-footing basis.
Aims and Objectives: The present review aims to cover and analyze the etiology and epidemiology of COVID-19, the role of intestinal microbiota and pro-inflammatory markers, and most importantly, the natural products to combat this deadly SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Methods: A primary literature search was conducted through PubMed and Google Scholar using relevant keywords. Natural products were searched from January 2020 to November 2020. No timeline limit has been imposed on the search for the biological sources of those phytochemicals. Interactive mapping has been done to analyze the multi-modal and multi-target sources.
Results and Discussion: The intestinal microbiota and the pro-inflammatory markers that can serve the prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19 were discussed. The literature search resulted in yielding 70 phytochemicals and ten polyherbal formulations which were scientifically analyzed against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its targets and found significant. Retrospective analyses led to provide information about 165 biological sources that can also be screened if not done earlier.
Conclusion: The interactive analysis mapping of biological sources with phytochemicals and targets as well as that of phytochemical class with phytochemicals and COVID-19 targets yielded insights into the multitarget and multimodal evidence-based complementary medicines.
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has plagued the world for more than 1 year now and has resulted in over 77 million cases and 1.7 million related deaths. While we await the rollout of the vaccines, new treatments are urgently needed to reduce the effects of this devastating virus. Here, we describe a number of preclinical studies which show promising effects of the polyphenol resveratrol.

A friend in academia whose wife had severe COVID19 last year told me recently that she now has neuro covid. I told him back then that resveratrol MIGHT protect the brain but he didnt listen to me. His wife ended up in the hospital and on a ventilator. Now I bet he wishes he had
I think the reasons it might help are solid enough making it to justify a national priority to settle the question once and for all. WHY AREn'T THEY?
Ive been writing letters about it to medical professionals all around the world. for two years and received some replies back at the beginning, None of whom gave me any reason to doubt that it could work. See for yourself.
To the contrary they all seemed to say that the facts pointed to it possibly working. Then the replies stopped.
Something isnt adding up.
This paper seems to be trying to lay out the complexity of possibilities in a more balanced way. (If thats possible)
that have been proven to help people survive the Rona and only giving them the ones that comes with high risks. Have you not followed our conversations on this since you have been here? Plus Biden just removed monoclonal antibodies for treating COVID because he wants people to get jabbed instead. However lots of people who qualify for them have been jabbed numerous times and still got infected. It’s beyond evil what has been allowed to happen just so that big pharma can prosper more.

~Hannah Arendt
Astoundingly, at the conclusion of his message Trudeau urged everyone to get the shots even though they failed to protect him from the disease. “Everyone, please get vaccinated and get boosted,” he insisted.
Trudeau’s message shows the depth of irrationality – bordering on insanity – to which many have fallen victim. We propose to call this phenomenon the Vaccine Insanity Syndrome (VIS). Those who suffer from VIS have largely lost touch with reality and things like common sense, evidence and logic no longer gain any traction in their thinking.
Just to summarize the absurdity of the whole situation: Having been previously vaccinated, Trudeau gets additionally boostered and three weeks later contracts Covid-19.
To put it in a different way, shortly after getting his third shot, Canada’s Prime Minister falls ill with the very disease against which these “effective” injections were supposed to protect him. But rather than repenting of his mistake, he goes on Twitter and advises the Canadian people to do the same.
Where is any logic in this? Has Covid affected Trudeau’s brain? Or was it the injections that somehow diminished his capacity for thought and reflection?
If anything, Trudeau should be “Exhibit One” for why people should not get vaccinated and boostered, since he is now Canada’s poster boy for vaccine failure.
Why, then, is he telling Canadians to do what he did?
It cannot be because the vaccines and boosters will protect them against infection. The opposite is, in fact, the case.
The data coming from all over the world is showing that the vaccinated are more likely to become infected than the unvaccinated. According to Steve Kirsch, “The numbers in the Denmark study described below are now confirmed by government data from Germany showing that vaccinated people are 8X more likely to develop Omicron than unvaccinated people. This is not surprising since a paper from Germany showed the same thing: the more you vaccinate, the worse it gets.”
You may think that perhaps Trudeau may be urging his compatriots to submit themselves to the shots, because that will immunize them against severe Covid. But this also is not the case. In England, Scotland, Israel and Denmark, for example, the boostered and vaccinated comprise the bulk of Covid hospitalizations and deaths. In Scotland, in the second week of January, 87 percent of Covid related deaths occurred among the vaccinated.
In May of last year, Trudeau promised Canadians that the “safe” and “effective” vaccines would end the pandemic and that if enough people took them life would return to normal.

Just to summarize the absurdity of the whole situation: Having been previously vaccinated, Trudeau gets additionally boostered and three weeks later contracts Covid-19.
To put it in a different way, shortly after getting his third shot, Canada’s Prime Minister falls ill with the very disease against which these “effective” injections were supposed to protect him. But rather than repenting of his mistake, he goes on Twitter and advises the Canadian people to do the same.
Where is any logic in this? Has Covid affected Trudeau’s brain? Or was it the injections that somehow diminished his capacity for thought and reflection?
If anything, Trudeau should be “Exhibit One” for why people should not get vaccinated and boostered, since he is now Canada’s poster boy for vaccine failure.
Why, then, is he telling Canadians to do what he did?
It cannot be because the vaccines and boosters will protect them against infection. The opposite is, in fact, the case.
The data coming from all over the world is showing that the vaccinated are more likely to become infected than the unvaccinated. According to Steve Kirsch, “The numbers in the Denmark study described below are now confirmed by government data from Germany showing that vaccinated people are 8X more likely to develop Omicron than unvaccinated people. This is not surprising since a paper from Germany showed the same thing: the more you vaccinate, the worse it gets.”
You may think that perhaps Trudeau may be urging his compatriots to submit themselves to the shots, because that will immunize them against severe Covid. But this also is not the case. In England, Scotland, Israel and Denmark, for example, the boostered and vaccinated comprise the bulk of Covid hospitalizations and deaths. In Scotland, in the second week of January, 87 percent of Covid related deaths occurred among the vaccinated.
In May of last year, Trudeau promised Canadians that the “safe” and “effective” vaccines would end the pandemic and that if enough people took them life would return to normal.
Trudeau is going out of his way to insult the truckers. In his tweet doing that people are posting his picture from the time he wore his face black. Yeah he’s a hypocrite too.
There are lots of people in Canada who are not supporting the truckers and have good reasons for it because apparently the truckers are blowing their air horns thru the night. I see their point too if it’s true that businesses are unable to open or there are other problems with them being there. Just another issue to divide the country. Many of them are not supportive of their goals either. Tuff dilemma I think for all involved.
running away from his constituents is very telling
the imaginary layer between the rulers and the rest of us
is beginning to dissolve
There are large holes in the narrative, but the authorities
are hell bent on doubling down
This will not turn out well

Thank you people of Canada and the Canadian Truckers! You have given the world hope and ignited the people! You’ve given me hope. For that I thank you.
The authoritarian narrative of “you must follow our orders!” is falling apart. Feckless leaders of various countries, none more feckless than Justin Trudeau of Canada, are desperately clinging to their failed approach of trying to bully and shame their people into doing whatever it is they tell them to do, logic and evidence be damned.
Omicron has completely shredded what little remained of the tattered vaccine narrative. It’s now obvious that vaccines boost the pace at which omicron spreads. Only a triple boost can temporarily provide some limited benefit. In Israel even that booster narrative has fallen apart completely as Israel now reports both the highest pace of Covid deaths along side the highest rates of triple jabbed population.
The people have caught on. In the UK the majority across all ethnicities do not support vaccine mandates. The same is true in Canada.
Meanwhile, in the US the press is either 100% ignoring the Canadian Trucker phenomenon or ridiculing it (but that’s entirely within the left-dominated press). And so the battle lines are now drawn.
There are those who value freedom and truth, and those who value obedience to central authority and sticking to a failed narrative, no matter how illogical or heartless.

It seems that once again the people who want everyone to obey the government are the ones that express hostility towards the ones who won’t obey the government. I’ve seen it all through this event. It’s okay for people who think that vaccines are the answer to display hostility towards the ones who don’t, but it’s the ones who won’t that still have their compassion and empathy. I just don’t get that.

Unfortunately there’s are too many people supporting the authoritarianism because for some reason they have forgotten where that leads to. Good grief just after Holocaust day I saw lots of people saying that anyone who isn’t jabbed should not be allowed to have medical treatment and other issues that make sure that they know that others see them as undeservings, or less than human which is a lot like what happened during the lead up to putting people in camps and worse. History repeats itself because people let it.

Market Spiral is why drugs for COVID are almost always very expensive, while drugs for the sniffles are always cheaper. Its based on the severity of the disease, not on the cost of making it at all. Most drugs cost pennies to make, the bottle and label cost more to make.
If you don't want to pay $136,000/year (in the US) to treat your prostate cancer, with XTandi, more than 4 times what it costs in other rich countries. , dont get it!
will blow the whistle on it. And then the billionaires or whomever behind it will just go berserk, I bet. To prevent people from figuring out how sordid a situation it is, they will probably launch World War 3, basing it on some ridiculous fake incident.
I strongly suspect that far more of this rigging of the system kind of thing happens than most of us realize.
You can tell because of the shit that normally only hits the news on major holidays. (when nobody will see it) Thats the stuff they don't want people to know. If it has to be disclosed, they want to disclose it when nobody is likely to see it. Once its "officially" out they figure they cant be accused of hiding it.

The RCMP cannot intimidate, barricade, cordon, or stop what is happening now.
That is the difference which indicates that the only way to end the truck Convoy is by a negotiation.
No matter how much denial Canadian Police Forces allow the Politicians to indulge themselves in, The Convoy is a big force that has heavy machinery and great determination.

This systematic review and meta-analysis are designed to determine whether there is empirical evidence to support the belief that “lockdowns” reduce COVID-19 mortality. Lockdowns are defined as the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI). NPIs are any government mandate that directly restrict peoples’ possibilities, such as policies that limit internal movement, close schools and businesses, and ban international travel. This study employed a systematic search and screening procedure in which 18,590 studies are identified that could potentially address the belief posed. After three levels of screening, 34 studies ultimately qualified. Of those 34 eligible studies, 24 qualified for inclusion in the meta-analysis. They were separated into three groups: lockdown stringency index studies, shelter-in-place-order (SIPO) studies, and specific NPI studies. An analysis of each of these three groups support the conclusion that lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality. More specifically, stringency index studies find that lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average. SIPOs were also ineffective, only reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9% on average. Specific NPI studies also find no broad-based evidence of noticeable effects on COVID-19 mortality.
While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.
...
It is not unreasonable to conclude that surgical and cloth masks, used as they currently are being used (without other forms of PPE protection), have no impact on controlling the transmission of Covid-19 virus. Current evidence implies that face masks can be actually harmful. The body of evidence indicates that face masks are largely ineffective.
Nothing against those who feel safer in a mask...mask up. But the evidence does not support it.

The problems are caused by the GATS tying the hands of any US candidate. Hillary is the wife of the guy who signed the URAA, putting a 500 lb weight around the neck of the country and poisoning our young peoples futures by trading away their jobs. She supports the privatization of everything agenda of the Clintons.
No way would she ever be a good candidate. She would be an intentional fail. Political suicide for the Phony Party
Since Bill Clinton signed the URAA in December 8, 1994 the Dems have been hiding a very BIG Lie. And pretending they might help fix things, when they CAN'T unless we buy our freedom back by trading away even more jobs that we have promised away already to the foreign staffing firms.
How will our people, our nurses teachers, etc. survive? Where will our young people work without jobs? People have no idea, you are in denial.
it's a celebration of freedom: People's Party leader Maxime Bernier
On this week's episode of The Van Maren Show, Maxime Bernier talks about the Freedom Convoy, Justin Trudeau, the Conservatives, Erin O’Toole, and much more.
the US government is required to support multinational corporations first. You know, investors. America is open for business. Even if people's interest are being put last, thats what they are sworn to do. Money is everything.
I'm sorry if I haven't made that clear. The effect of these rules has been to drastically reduce or eliminate in a one way fashion (ratcheting) state owned enterprises and state activities in competition with commercial entities. In the past people could vote for "progressive" politicians who during the earliest 90% of the 20th century, sometimes created what were known then as "public services" in areas where the market was failing to provide them. Things like services in rural areas which often involved extra costs. They were often subsidized by governments.
Government entities could not and did not charge more costly patients more because the services were not provided on a "commercial basis" for profit. But the WTO changed all that. Because entities often provided universal services guarantees, ensuring, for example, that poor people could find and buy services. But often this cut deeply into corporate profits or had the effect of substituting for "like" commercial products, "likeness" to commercial products which was forbidden as a form of unfair competition after the EC - Bananas case. Thanks to the efforts of the US, UK and India, (surprisingly) such entities are rapidly vanishing, replaced by mega corporations, which are not state owned in any way. Where subsidies may remain they have to conform to very strict rules to insure that they only are supplied to the smallest scope possible (i.e. minimally trade restrictive) possible number of people and for the shortest amount of time to solve the issue. (For example, welfare payments supplied in the form of food for the poor might only be available to those whose body weight was below a certain percentage of normal. the poorest of the poor) Sometimes they are carved out. Like public primary education is still legal in the US. In a cashless world people wont be able to hide income in order to get benefits like health benefits or education they are not entitled to. If the overpayment was in the form of insurance, policies will be revoked back to the beginning, (recission) and then those services that were rendered while uninsured will be rebilled to former patients bank accounts at the uninsured rate applicable at the time.. Which could be substantially higher than the price charged normally. Thats the way its done in California.
See the series in the LA Times on rescission by Lisa Girion. All of that is coming back if we roll back regulation to the level in February 1998 as we are supposed to. All of the payments made from that account during the periods when retroactive payments would have put the account below zero would be retroactively cancelled causing a flood of bounced checks and fees, going back years that would suddenly become due, or be deducted from a creditors bank account automatically, since the patients had already received services which must be paid for. . This becomes possible in a cashless society.
Watch the video and understand the implications of rescission in reverse..
Since subsidies are supposed to end that could mean the end of free highways and bridges (otherwise how would the infrastructure for society exist) Instead everything will be privatized and unavailable to those buried in debt as a disincentive to be poor.
When we signed the WTO we bought into a completely different future. Money is everything, everything the government does must be minimally trade restrictive, Let me ask you bluntly, do people understand what that means.
[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MibVpT2XUb4]
That is not a compromise between two parties, it means corporations on top is the only way thats allowed.
This hearing shown below shows us how wee made ahuge mnistake when we agreed to lock in the insurance system we had in 1998 (Insurance is a financial service in the WTO rules, and the Understanding on Commitments in Financial Services bars the changes made in 2010, instead it locks in the regulatory regime in effect on the date it became "existing" and governmental sevices which were not existing on that date were prohibited. This is whats known as "standstill" So it was a lie for Bernie Sanders to tell us all we needed to do was vote for him or anybody - while not telling us the truth. In effect Bernie did a big favor for his close friend Hillary Clinton. She should have been nice to him because the way the country has been deceived, which has led tothe needless deaths of millions of us, its likely, over 26 years, is important to recognize as what itis a crime against humanity we "we agreed" to lock in in 1998, with the WTO Understanding on Commitments in Financial Services. That is what the status quo was in 1998 (the regulatory regime we agreed in 1998 is set as a ceiling on regulation, so this or worse (more profitable for firms) is supposed to be carved in stone! People who thought medical underwriting of health insurance was gone are wrong. If somebody has a serious illness, insurance firms ARE going to try to dump you, and they claim thh WTO entitles them to do that. If the government tries to back out of it soon, I would not be surprised if the pre-1998 rules start being rinstated quietly. Lifetime limits, rejecting people for health problems, etc. The intent is always to dump the sick from coverage. (They hope the medical risks (their term for people who have health issues) will leave and become some other company's problem) To some extent the government also does this, they shift the burdens on to the sick.
If only Clinton had not joined us into the WTO, we would be in a much better position. Then there would be no legal barriers to our creating a single payer system and we could do so and join it. But our WTO commitments - which were sort of the bait in a huge global job trading and IP value increasing scheme, that make it possible to jack up the prices of AIDS drugs in the 1990s leading to the deaths of 30 million Africans, mostly children. That huge legal complication createds created expectations that the millions of mainstream jobs that million of Americans depend upon, would be made available for people in places like Africa to do, if they bid cheaper than US firms do. African firms are now training for them so they can bid successfully. Americans are still being told that when US tax money is spent, that it will create jobs here. It will sometimes, when the contracts are under certain quotas. But for big construction projects, the jobs will go elsewhere. Nomatter how much young Americans need them, they failed to be there and contest this huge giveaways of their futures during the Uruguay Round negotiations. They were deceived.
Q: Didn't Canada join the WTO in 1995 like the US did?
A. Please read the following: Brian N Zeiler-Kligman "How I learned to stop worrying and love the GATS, an Exxamination of the Impact of the General Agreement on Trade in Services and the Canadian Health Care system" in the Dalhousie Law Journal.
Note that the author works for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, a group that opposes the not for profit Canadian health system, and what he says is quite possibly inaccurate.. Also see the following by Alison Pollock
Yes, they did, but the Canadian Medicare scheme was codified in the 1970s, so it predated the WTO. Additionally, the WTO rules, which are explained in detail in a Note from the WTO secretariat, which we published in 1998 are written in such a way that the Canadian healthcare system, unlike the ones in the UK and US is not within the scope of the GATS. This I am told by an expert, was intentional. He went and actually spoke to the man at the UK's DTI who had written the Article 1:3 b+c text. (the part of the GATS that is relevant) In a personal communication he told me this. This can be verified. Its my understanding that the UK publicly claims an exemption to the GATS (maybe the one used by the EU (Public utilities) that went away with Brexit?) but it seems very unlikely to stand if challenged, given that the WTO Secretariat already stated in their Note that it would not.
Note that I'm not a lawyer nor have I ever claimed to be one, I just read.
Q. So they are pretty much in the same mess we are, (No both Canada and the UK both now have functioning HC systems that attempt to meet the needs of all their citizens, while we abaondon the poor, ensuring that poor people who get diseases like cancer almost never get treatment early enough to be able to fully take advantage of the gains we've made since 1980s or so
So since then in terms of survival and the like, its as if the rest of the world is going forward fast and we are standing still. Its a genocide of the poor.
Canda or the UK dont kill an extra 200 poor people each day. There are disparities but our dwarf theirs. Both countries also have right wingers.. Like us. Except both US parties are effectively RW now as far as healthcare. They are also being pushed by their right wingers towards a trap they dont know is there. A ratchet that locks in all deregulation privatization and monetization of everything with no subsidies except to the very very poor unless sectors are carved out in advance, also receiving public health care is going to lead to people being targeted for investigation due to GATS's rules. If somebody manages to get benefits, the system will be trying to prosecute them for benefits fraud and claw any money spent back arbitrarily. Since its designed to weed out almost everybody whenever somebody managed to get help they will be scrutinized in the same way that an inmate at Auschwitz who survived more than a few months was, and for the same reason, essentially.
A 1999 piece by Allyson Pollock, Price, Sayoub, et al does a good job of spelling out how the UK's NHS will be treated. And why. But the reference is slightly wrong, you'll need to search for it and its (Page 11) on the WTO web site to find the quite specific and concise Letter from the Secretariat.
Yup. Canada might lose their healthcare system, because of the WTO. A recent case in their Supreme Court was troubling.
Privatization of everything, and a race to the bottom on regulation. Truckers will likely be offshored and outsourced to huge trucking subcontractors. . Canadian truckers are probably well paid - more so than guest workers who will be imported to do jobs that involve services. Its likely to be much cheaper. Also, self driving trucks will be here soon. Faster than cars. You know I'm right.
Under GATS, the scope of any service thats not deliverd entirely on a commercial basis and under market conditions (a good example is housing, delivered under market conditions means that if the rent in a city is astronomical, the government is prohibited from going in and helping people who are poor simply to prevent their homelessness. Otherwise, with so many people losing jobs the inevitable result would be thousands more people receiving aid and becoming dependent on it or moving to rural areas they still could afford.
Help must be limited to only those where there is literally no other alternative. This is almost a cult like group that is making these huge changes. They are not the politicians you think you know. Thats all an act because they know people hate all ofg this. They want some kind of brake on thge neoliberal corporate takeover which they can just vote for. But that would mean every wealthy persons wealth was endangered by regulation. Something they wont allow. This is a takeover of the world whose roots date back to the 1930s. Its not going to stop or slow down or change in any way for a few voters. They intended to end democracy and they have, except in name only.
Also, its forcing government to allow the implementaion by banks and financial firms of an extremely intrusive surveillance state, to clawback liabilities instantaneously via electronics a cashless society logging and clawback of overpayments of benefits. Like Centrelink (Robodebt) in Australia
The whole world will be a giant looting and clawbacks from the poor.
Imagine a person puts their child in a school not in the town where they actually sleep, on some relatives couch, but instead in the neighboring community of Commanding Heights, where the average price of a home is over two million dollars and property taxes were astronomical.
Every time you engage in a transaction, remember, in order to prevent fraud your location will be recorded. So maybe you subscribe to Netflix and you watch a bit of a move while going to sleep from time to time. Recording where you were every night.

Teetering on the final fear attempts
Perhaps the end is close to this madness.
question everything
And yet,
many seem fearful that if they don't continue to be fearful of the current ‘fear du jour’ that their refusal might somehow perpetuate the madness, and that our fear will become endemic throughout the land, just like the virus has.
Damn those unvaccinated! It’s all their fault that we live in fear!

Its as simple as that. The number of sick people who are not surviving COVID in the United States is far higher than the numbers for other rich nations, why?
"For all the encouragement that American health leaders drew from other countries’ success in withstanding the Omicron surge, the outcomes in the U.S. have been markedly different. Hospital admissions in the U.S. swelled to much higher rates than in Western Europe, leaving some states struggling to provide care. Americans are now dying from Covid at nearly double the daily rate of Britons and four times the rate of Germans.
The only large European countries to exceed America’s Covid death rates this winter have been Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Greece and the Czech Republic, poorer nations where the best Covid treatments are relatively scarce.
The New York Times writes:
“The U.S. stands out as having a relatively high fatality rate,” said Joseph Dieleman, an associate professor at the University of Washington who has compared Covid outcomes globally. “There’s been more loss than anyone wanted or anticipated.”
As deadly as the Omicron wave has been, the situation in the United States is far better than it would have been without vaccines. The Omicron variant also causes less serious illness than Delta, even though it has led to staggering case numbers. Together, vaccines and the less lethal nature of Omicron infections have significantly reduced the share of people with Covid who are being hospitalized and dying during this wave.
In Western Europe, those factors have resulted in much more manageable waves. Deaths in Britain, for example, are one-fifth of last winter’s peak, and hospital admissions are roughly half as high.
But not so in the United States. Record numbers of Americans with the highly contagious variant have filled up hospitals in recent weeks and the average death toll is still around 2,500 a day.
Chief among the reasons is the country’s faltering effort to vaccinate its most vulnerable people at the levels achieved by more successful European countries.
Twelve percent of Americans 65 and over have not received either two shots of a Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or one Johnson & Johnson shot, which the C.D.C. considers fully vaccinated, according to the agency’s statistics. (Inconsistencies in C.D.C. counts make it difficult to know the precise figure.)"
I do not accrept what the NYT
writes. I suggest you find another non-biased source to back up your statements. Please put quoted material in quotes. I cannot decipher what you or your source are saying.
The following graph shows the opposite:
However Israel is one of the most vaxxed countries
And yet they are having more cases and hospitalizations than they had before the vax were rolled out. After they started giving them to the younger people they too are seeing exploding numbers and now there’s talk about giving them another booster. This seems to fit the definition of insanity.
Unfortunately they are not the only country experiencing this. Many other countries that have high vax rates are seeing the same thing. Hopefully it’s going to wake people up soon to see that the vax have utterly failed. And oh yeah now we have the stealth variant to deal with. Scary name huh? Stealth?

Uraguay and Israel are two of the world's leaders in vaccination rates putting the lie to the NYT propaganda. I've posted about the death rates climbing with the vaccination rates for a half a year (and more) now.
People can use the slider bar on these graphs to determine the dates of vaccination rate to compare death rate: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-vaccinations-vs-covid-death-rat...
Let's compare:
There's absolutely NO relationship to heath care costs as a causative factor in death rate in COVID.

A dropout exposes an expert with 4th grade math
Last night I watched the first 5 minutes or so of a video from a hugely impressively pedigreed expert "explaining how even though omicron was "mild" it was record deadly. So I went back to 4th grade and examined the math. (his argument was strictly a mathematical one)
Don't stop me just because you've heard this before, but the record number of "covid deaths" is because there are so many covid infections - a smaller percentage of worst cases results giving an ultimately higher final number. 10% of 1000 is greater than 50% 0f 100. See the mistake? No, the mistake is in him thinking we're that gullible. His logic would work if all numbers meant the same thing, but omicron is not delta - it does not kill. At all. Ever. If omicron ever killed anyone it would have been reported, somewhere. It would not be hiding behind "it pushed him over the edge" like a business partner with a gambling problem and a life insurance policy.
But before that he revealed his really fatal flaw - the flaw that could not have been made in good faith - he repeated the "873,000 deaths" myth. Granted there have been at least 800,000+ deaths "with" covid, but no one who's job it is to understand the reality does not know the difference between with and from by now. And even a virologist who flunked out of his ESL class would not know that the American figures he was about to cite totally contradicted other country's data. Deaths are down everywhere. Everywhere but here and I guess Canada (HONK!) Some (ex. Italy) are even correcting massive overcounts. And that isn't omicron, that's all before omicron. His basic assumptions were just wrong.
But that was the point. He assumed that we would believe him when he implied that "experts" were immune from fear, from observational error, from peer pressure, from coersion from superiors, from basic lizard brain prejudice. All we have to do is believe the experts, his experts. This week.
On to Biden since 1973
Don't let them PATENT Natures natural defenses against viral and
bacterial infections! They want to do so because they may have important advantages over many commercial drugs. For example, many natural plant antibiotics like quercetin and berberine help combat drug resistance in strains of bacteria i.e. superbugs. The Big Pharma firms cant stand the fact that phytochemicals are virtually free, often safe and many are even remarkably healthy. They are too good to be legal. Now it seems a similar story is playing out with natural substances that fight COVID and other betacoronaviridae like resveratrol, picead, and other similar stilbenes. Heads up! We're being brainwashed so that we will allow the corporate state to steal plant medicines, which are where the science of medicine originated, fully one third of all drugs originated in plants. There is a huge theft thats being attempted by the corporate superstate, led by the US and EU transnational drug corporations. .

Abstract
Background: The world has been unprecedentedly hit by a global pandemic which broke the record of deadly pandemics that faced humanity ever since its existence. Even kids are well-versed in the terminologies and basics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 now. The vaccination program has been successfully launched in various countries, given that the huge global population of concern is still far behind to be vaccinated. Furthermore, the scarcity of any potential drug against the COVID-19-causing virus forces scientists and clinicians to search for alternative and complementary medicines on a war-footing basis.
Aims and Objectives: The present review aims to cover and analyze the etiology and epidemiology of COVID-19, the role of intestinal microbiota and pro-inflammatory markers, and most importantly, the natural products to combat this deadly SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Methods: A primary literature search was conducted through PubMed and Google Scholar using relevant keywords. Natural products were searched from January 2020 to November 2020. No timeline limit has been imposed on the search for the biological sources of those phytochemicals. Interactive mapping has been done to analyze the multi-modal and multi-target sources.
Results and Discussion: The intestinal microbiota and the pro-inflammatory markers that can serve the prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19 were discussed. The literature search resulted in yielding 70 phytochemicals and ten polyherbal formulations which were scientifically analyzed against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its targets and found significant. Retrospective analyses led to provide information about 165 biological sources that can also be screened if not done earlier.
Conclusion: The interactive analysis mapping of biological sources with phytochemicals and targets as well as that of phytochemical class with phytochemicals and COVID-19 targets yielded insights into the multitarget and multimodal evidence-based complementary medicines.
Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, complementary medicine, secondary metabolites, polyherbal formulation, intestinal microbiota, pro-inflammatory markers

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has plagued the world for more than 1 year now and has resulted in over 77 million cases and 1.7 million related deaths. While we await the rollout of the vaccines, new treatments are urgently needed to reduce the effects of this devastating virus. Here, we describe a number of preclinical studies which show promising effects of the polyphenol resveratrol.

I think the reasons it might help are solid enough making it to justify a national priority to settle the question once and for all. WHY AREn'T THEY?
Ive been writing letters about it to medical professionals all around the world. for two years and received some replies back at the beginning, None of whom gave me any reason to doubt that it could work. See for yourself.
To the contrary they all seemed to say that the facts pointed to it possibly working. Then the replies stopped.
Something isnt adding up.
This paper seems to be trying to lay out the complexity of possibilities in a more balanced way. (If thats possible)
For the same reason Fauci is blocking all drugs
that have been proven to help people survive the Rona and only giving them the ones that comes with high risks. Have you not followed our conversations on this since you have been here? Plus Biden just removed monoclonal antibodies for treating COVID because he wants people to get jabbed instead. However lots of people who qualify for them have been jabbed numerous times and still got infected. It’s beyond evil what has been allowed to happen just so that big pharma can prosper more.

Trudeau is going out of his way to insult the truckers. In his tweet doing that people are posting his picture from the time he wore his face black. Yeah he’s a hypocrite too.
There are lots of people in Canada who are not supporting the truckers and have good reasons for it because apparently the truckers are blowing their air horns thru the night. I see their point too if it’s true that businesses are unable to open or there are other problems with them being there. Just another issue to divide the country. Many of them are not supportive of their goals either. Tuff dilemma I think for all involved.

How well is vaccination working?
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
And yet
It seems that once again the people who want everyone to obey the government are the ones that express hostility towards the ones who won’t obey the government. I’ve seen it all through this event. It’s okay for people who think that vaccines are the answer to display hostility towards the ones who don’t, but it’s the ones who won’t that still have their compassion and empathy. I just don’t get that.
Unfortunately there’s are too many people supporting the authoritarianism because for some reason they have forgotten where that leads to. Good grief just after Holocaust day I saw lots of people saying that anyone who isn’t jabbed should not be allowed to have medical treatment and other issues that make sure that they know that others see them as undeservings, or less than human which is a lot like what happened during the lead up to putting people in camps and worse. History repeats itself because people let it.

Read up on the Market Spiral pricing strategy for drugs.
Market Spiral is why drugs for COVID are almost always very expensive, while drugs for the sniffles are always cheaper. Its based on the severity of the disease, not on the cost of making it at all. Most drugs cost pennies to make, the bottle and label cost more to make.
If you don't want to pay $136,000/year (in the US) to treat your prostate cancer, with XTandi, more than 4 times what it costs in other rich countries. , dont get it!
Someday someone who is in on whatever is happening
will blow the whistle on it. And then the billionaires or whomever behind it will just go berserk, I bet. To prevent people from figuring out how sordid a situation it is, they will probably launch World War 3, basing it on some ridiculous fake incident.
I strongly suspect that far more of this rigging of the system kind of thing happens than most of us realize.
You can tell because of the shit that normally only hits the news on major holidays. (when nobody will see it) Thats the stuff they don't want people to know. If it has to be disclosed, they want to disclose it when nobody is likely to see it. Once its "officially" out they figure they cant be accused of hiding it.

Russel Brand on Hillary Clinton "comeback"
The problems are caused by the GATS tying the hands of any US candidate. Hillary is the wife of the guy who signed the URAA, putting a 500 lb weight around the neck of the country and poisoning our young peoples futures by trading away their jobs. She supports the privatization of everything agenda of the Clintons.
No way would she ever be a good candidate. She would be an intentional fail. Political suicide for the Phony Party
Since Bill Clinton signed the URAA in December 8, 1994 the Dems have been hiding a very BIG Lie. And pretending they might help fix things, when they CAN'T unless we buy our freedom back by trading away even more jobs that we have promised away already to the foreign staffing firms.
How will our people, our nurses teachers, etc. survive? Where will our young people work without jobs? People have no idea, you are in denial.

The Freedom Convoy isn't a protest,
it's a celebration of freedom: People's Party leader Maxime Bernier
the US government is required to support multinationals 1st
the US government is required to support multinational corporations first. You know, investors. America is open for business. Even if people's interest are being put last, thats what they are sworn to do. Money is everything.
I'm sorry if I haven't made that clear. The effect of these rules has been to drastically reduce or eliminate in a one way fashion (ratcheting) state owned enterprises and state activities in competition with commercial entities. In the past people could vote for "progressive" politicians who during the earliest 90% of the 20th century, sometimes created what were known then as "public services" in areas where the market was failing to provide them. Things like services in rural areas which often involved extra costs. They were often subsidized by governments.
Government entities could not and did not charge more costly patients more because the services were not provided on a "commercial basis" for profit. But the WTO changed all that. Because entities often provided universal services guarantees, ensuring, for example, that poor people could find and buy services. But often this cut deeply into corporate profits or had the effect of substituting for "like" commercial products, "likeness" to commercial products which was forbidden as a form of unfair competition after the EC - Bananas case. Thanks to the efforts of the US, UK and India, (surprisingly) such entities are rapidly vanishing, replaced by mega corporations, which are not state owned in any way. Where subsidies may remain they have to conform to very strict rules to insure that they only are supplied to the smallest scope possible (i.e. minimally trade restrictive) possible number of people and for the shortest amount of time to solve the issue. (For example, welfare payments supplied in the form of food for the poor might only be available to those whose body weight was below a certain percentage of normal. the poorest of the poor) Sometimes they are carved out. Like public primary education is still legal in the US. In a cashless world people wont be able to hide income in order to get benefits like health benefits or education they are not entitled to. If the overpayment was in the form of insurance, policies will be revoked back to the beginning, (recission) and then those services that were rendered while uninsured will be rebilled to former patients bank accounts at the uninsured rate applicable at the time.. Which could be substantially higher than the price charged normally. Thats the way its done in California.
See the series in the LA Times on rescission by Lisa Girion. All of that is coming back if we roll back regulation to the level in February 1998 as we are supposed to. All of the payments made from that account during the periods when retroactive payments would have put the account below zero would be retroactively cancelled causing a flood of bounced checks and fees, going back years that would suddenly become due, or be deducted from a creditors bank account automatically, since the patients had already received services which must be paid for. . This becomes possible in a cashless society.
Watch the video and understand the implications of rescission in reverse..
Since subsidies are supposed to end that could mean the end of free highways and bridges (otherwise how would the infrastructure for society exist) Instead everything will be privatized and unavailable to those buried in debt as a disincentive to be poor.
When we signed the WTO we bought into a completely different future. Money is everything, everything the government does must be minimally trade restrictive, Let me ask you bluntly, do people understand what that means.

This hearing shown below shows us how wee made ahuge mnistake when we agreed to lock in the insurance system we had in 1998 (Insurance is a financial service in the WTO rules, and the Understanding on Commitments in Financial Services bars the changes made in 2010, instead it locks in the regulatory regime in effect on the date it became "existing" and governmental sevices which were not existing on that date were prohibited. This is whats known as "standstill" So it was a lie for Bernie Sanders to tell us all we needed to do was vote for him or anybody - while not telling us the truth. In effect Bernie did a big favor for his close friend Hillary Clinton. She should have been nice to him because the way the country has been deceived, which has led tothe needless deaths of millions of us, its likely, over 26 years, is important to recognize as what itis a crime against humanity we "we agreed" to lock in in 1998, with the WTO Understanding on Commitments in Financial Services. That is what the status quo was in 1998 (the regulatory regime we agreed in 1998 is set as a ceiling on regulation, so this or worse (more profitable for firms) is supposed to be carved in stone! People who thought medical underwriting of health insurance was gone are wrong. If somebody has a serious illness, insurance firms ARE going to try to dump you, and they claim thh WTO entitles them to do that. If the government tries to back out of it soon, I would not be surprised if the pre-1998 rules start being rinstated quietly. Lifetime limits, rejecting people for health problems, etc. The intent is always to dump the sick from coverage. (They hope the medical risks (their term for people who have health issues) will leave and become some other company's problem) To some extent the government also does this, they shift the burdens on to the sick.
If only Clinton had not joined us into the WTO, we would be in a much better position. Then there would be no legal barriers to our creating a single payer system and we could do so and join it. But our WTO commitments - which were sort of the bait in a huge global job trading and IP value increasing scheme, that make it possible to jack up the prices of AIDS drugs in the 1990s leading to the deaths of 30 million Africans, mostly children. That huge legal complication createds created expectations that the millions of mainstream jobs that million of Americans depend upon, would be made available for people in places like Africa to do, if they bid cheaper than US firms do. African firms are now training for them so they can bid successfully. Americans are still being told that when US tax money is spent, that it will create jobs here. It will sometimes, when the contracts are under certain quotas. But for big construction projects, the jobs will go elsewhere. Nomatter how much young Americans need them, they failed to be there and contest this huge giveaways of their futures during the Uruguay Round negotiations. They were deceived.
Celebration of freedom without freedom?

A. Please read the following: Brian N Zeiler-Kligman "How I learned to stop worrying and love the GATS, an Exxamination of the Impact of the General Agreement on Trade in Services and the Canadian Health Care system" in the Dalhousie Law Journal.
Note that the author works for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, a group that opposes the not for profit Canadian health system, and what he says is quite possibly inaccurate.. Also see the following by Alison Pollock
Yes, they did, but the Canadian Medicare scheme was codified in the 1970s, so it predated the WTO. Additionally, the WTO rules, which are explained in detail in a Note from the WTO secretariat, which we published in 1998 are written in such a way that the Canadian healthcare system, unlike the ones in the UK and US is not within the scope of the GATS. This I am told by an expert, was intentional. He went and actually spoke to the man at the UK's DTI who had written the Article 1:3 b+c text. (the part of the GATS that is relevant) In a personal communication he told me this. This can be verified. Its my understanding that the UK publicly claims an exemption to the GATS (maybe the one used by the EU (Public utilities) that went away with Brexit?) but it seems very unlikely to stand if challenged, given that the WTO Secretariat already stated in their Note that it would not.
Note that I'm not a lawyer nor have I ever claimed to be one, I just read.
Q. So they are pretty much in the same mess we are, (No both Canada and the UK both now have functioning HC systems that attempt to meet the needs of all their citizens, while we abaondon the poor, ensuring that poor people who get diseases like cancer almost never get treatment early enough to be able to fully take advantage of the gains we've made since 1980s or so
So since then in terms of survival and the like, its as if the rest of the world is going forward fast and we are standing still. Its a genocide of the poor.
Canda or the UK dont kill an extra 200 poor people each day. There are disparities but our dwarf theirs. Both countries also have right wingers.. Like us. Except both US parties are effectively RW now as far as healthcare. They are also being pushed by their right wingers towards a trap they dont know is there. A ratchet that locks in all deregulation privatization and monetization of everything with no subsidies except to the very very poor unless sectors are carved out in advance, also receiving public health care is going to lead to people being targeted for investigation due to GATS's rules. If somebody manages to get benefits, the system will be trying to prosecute them for benefits fraud and claw any money spent back arbitrarily. Since its designed to weed out almost everybody whenever somebody managed to get help they will be scrutinized in the same way that an inmate at Auschwitz who survived more than a few months was, and for the same reason, essentially.
A 1999 piece by Allyson Pollock, Price, Sayoub, et al does a good job of spelling out how the UK's NHS will be treated. And why. But the reference is slightly wrong, you'll need to search for it and its (Page 11) on the WTO web site to find the quite specific and concise Letter from the Secretariat.
Yup. Canada might lose their healthcare system, because of the WTO. A recent case in their Supreme Court was troubling.
Privatization of everything, and a race to the bottom on regulation. Truckers will likely be offshored and outsourced to huge trucking subcontractors. . Canadian truckers are probably well paid - more so than guest workers who will be imported to do jobs that involve services. Its likely to be much cheaper. Also, self driving trucks will be here soon. Faster than cars. You know I'm right.
Under GATS, the scope of any service thats not deliverd entirely on a commercial basis and under market conditions (a good example is housing, delivered under market conditions means that if the rent in a city is astronomical, the government is prohibited from going in and helping people who are poor simply to prevent their homelessness. Otherwise, with so many people losing jobs the inevitable result would be thousands more people receiving aid and becoming dependent on it or moving to rural areas they still could afford.
Help must be limited to only those where there is literally no other alternative. This is almost a cult like group that is making these huge changes. They are not the politicians you think you know. Thats all an act because they know people hate all ofg this. They want some kind of brake on thge neoliberal corporate takeover which they can just vote for. But that would mean every wealthy persons wealth was endangered by regulation. Something they wont allow. This is a takeover of the world whose roots date back to the 1930s. Its not going to stop or slow down or change in any way for a few voters. They intended to end democracy and they have, except in name only.
Also, its forcing government to allow the implementaion by banks and financial firms of an extremely intrusive surveillance state, to clawback liabilities instantaneously via electronics a cashless society logging and clawback of overpayments of benefits. Like Centrelink (Robodebt) in Australia
The whole world will be a giant looting and clawbacks from the poor.
Imagine a person puts their child in a school not in the town where they actually sleep, on some relatives couch, but instead in the neighboring community of Commanding Heights, where the average price of a home is over two million dollars and property taxes were astronomical.
Every time you engage in a transaction, remember, in order to prevent fraud your location will be recorded. So maybe you subscribe to Netflix and you watch a bit of a move while going to sleep from time to time. Recording where you were every night.

And now they want our governments to merge so all our better regulations can be pushed DOWN.
To the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR.. Dont like US policing?
Employ Indonesia's soldiers in their stead under WTO GATS. They have been training for it for years.
Kill first, ask questions never!
They discovered the racist who brought
the confederate flag to the truckers protest in Ottawa.
Ha!
This sure points out his hypocrisy doesn’t it? What’s it going to take for people to wake up to what’s going on?
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.

Lets not evade the NYT's question.
The New York Times is asking why death rates from COVID in the US are so high? Why? ?
Its a valid question.
@snoopydawg Indeed, Covid
@snoopydawg Indeed, Covid often does effect the brain. Its similar to mold in that respect.
Mold causes something similar to "chemo brain". Poor Justin Trudeau. Do you think he'll recover?
