You're right same playbook. In my area DeSoto purposely left a slave with small pox in Chief Coosa's village. A decade or so later when Tristan De Luna returned what was once a town with houses and gardens as far as the eye could see was a decimated hollowed out village.

De Soto made contact with the cacique (chief) that controlled over 400 miles of land (known as a chiefdom) that ranged from northeast Tennessee to central Alabama. This chief, known as Coosa, ruled over nearly 50,000 inhabitants. Soto and his expedition party lived among the Coosa Indians for several weeks, devouring their food stores. Upon leaving the principle city of the chiefdom, Soto took Coosa hostage in order to gain safe passage through the remaining villages and towns. Once he reached the chiefdom of the Mabilas, ruled by Chief Tuskasoosa, Coosa was awarded his freedom.

Another item I omitted is the Fossl Fuel government media cabal driving climate chaos. We are being done unto for sure.

Well, have a lovely evening and enjoy your homestead!

and how hard the incoming Europeans used so many methods of extermination of First Peoples already on the continent.

At first accidental, but lessons learned about the purposeful spread of Smallpox and other diseases not tolerated. Then the extraordinary extermination of Bison a major food, clothing, shelter and tool source.

Like now the play book is if it can be done, double down. If there is resistance, double down.

Nothing new under the sun, moon and stars.
ETA: I remember. It was in the context of Julian. I repeat myself. Who would trust us to keep our word? Just as most if not all of the treaties with Native Americans were worthless.

Thanks LO, especially for all the links to good resources.

that omicron may be our ticket to wide spread natural immunity. Natural immunity is MORE protective than a vaccine. So I'm hoping this is good news.

As to Brazil, the US helped elect Bolsonaro to get rid of the Lula legacy. If the US allows an honest election, Lula will probably be re-elected president. That's also a good thing.

Trevor Noah simply said what South African physicians have said that Omicron may be more contagious but the actual disease of this particular strain appears to be milder, perhaps much milder. Covid cases that turn out to be Omicron resemble the other coronaviruses such as the common cold viruses in the reduced severity of the illness, and so they are relatively mild. This is something our corporate state seems to not want to hear. (It should be good news, if people are not dying as much!) If they get this newer, milder covid that may even "compete with" the drug company cartel's products, saving the lives of poor people by a means that doesnt create profits for the stockholders. Drug company dividends are big money, the so called "one bright spot" for an otherwise "dismal economy",

Unlike the Delta variant which was killing huge numbers of poor people in places like South America and is still quite dangerous. Especially Brazil. A great many were dying in Brazil. They dont want legislators to refuse to pass new repressive laws. Thats what it seemed the neoliberal state wanted out of the covid epidemic. To shamelessly exploit iot to clamp down on freedom of speech, using their usual dramatis personae.

We can thank mismanagement by Trump-like idiot Bolsinaro who passed up the opportunity to buy vaccines for Brazillians early in the epidemic, guess they just didnt see it as important? Poor people in Brazil have never mattered, that is unless they became rich.

South Africa which we all hoped would do better after the end of apartheid in the 1990s still is an alarmingly poor country due in no small part to the forcing of much of the apartheid legacy to continue permanently due to, you guessed it, the GATS trap which prevented them from making the regulatory changes they need such as public healthcare which they voted overwhelmingly for a decade or so ago, But trade rules we the US pushed two decade ago locked them into the for profit system with a noose like ratchet. TRade rules prohibit anything like that, unless healthcare has been completely noncommercial and free since then in an entire country, like Canada, and remains so. Because of GATS lock-in as well as pervasive corruption and cronyism they still dont have the changes.

Even the very mild changes that the US made in 2010 appears to have violated the limits and are seen as changes and so are likely to be verboten. Because they were not existing on Feb 26, 1998, the important date. That is the ceiling of the standstill, I think. For us. When the world supposedly decided to make for profit everything permanent, they didnt intend there to be wiggle room. Policy space became the corporations property. Rigid and immutable.

is along litany of items. The primary witness has admitting lying, the CIA spied on Julian and his lawyers (that should throw it out of court right there IMO), the CIA had a murder scheme arranged, and on and on.

Caught a couple of good pieces.

Thanks for the Medhurst piece. I heard him reveal Julian had a stroke in Oct.

And you're so right....don't believe a damn thing the US promises.

for Assange not to be thrown into a dark hole if extradited here by Richard Medhurst

The US will break its assurances on Assange. Here’s why

All this is very reminiscent of the assurances for Assange. The wording is equally ambiguous; even if you take these assurances at face value you simply can’t trust them. They allow the United States to subject the WikiLeaks co-founder to so-called special administrative measures (SAMs) or imprison him at ADX Florence supermax prison, a maximum-security facility in Colorado, if “after entry of this assurance, he was to commit any future act that met the test for the imposition of a SAM”. I spoke to Mendoza, who was imprisoned at Englewood, near ADX Florence, where Assange is likely to be sent. He said that any innocent, random conversation Assange has with his partner or lawyers could be interpreted by the US authorities as some sort of “code”, and used as a pretext to lock him up immediately under SAMs in some other hellhole – that’s if they don’t do it the moment he sets foot in the US.

Alternatively, they could also place Assange in a communications management unit (CMU) or special housing unit (SHU) and then say, “See? We didn’t break any assurances, because we didn’t place Assange under SAMs.” The thing is, the reason Baraitser blocked the extradition is because the isolation and psychological torment is what could drive Assange to suicide. Whether it’s SAMs or a CMU or an SHU isn’t the issue here.

The High Court has also accepted an assurance from Washington that Assange could serve any potential sentence in his home country, Australia. As I heard Lewis put it in court, Assange could “look forward” to being jailed Down Under.

Prison transfers don’t work that way. The United States can’t just say Assange can serve his sentence in Australia, in Tanzania or on the Moon and then make it so. The administering state, meaning Australia, must also accept the transfer ahead of time. This is very clearly spelled out under Article 3(f) of the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons.

We already made a planned to kill him so I think that is a damn good reason not to trust a thing we say. Plus there’s all that history of us making promises through treaties and agreements that we chucked away whenever we wanted to. Finally there is already a previous case where we made promises that have not been upheld. The judge is an idiot for believing that we will keep our word for Assange.

And for those who say that Assange can prove his innocence in court there is no self defense allowed in an espionage act trial. It’s a trial where the decision has already been made and it’s just for show.

@snoopydawg

Did you hear that worm Blinken say the US supported press freedom and the protection of journalists? What hypocrites!

US threatening 6-figure fines for contributing to ‘banned’ sites, journalist tells RT

American journalists are being threatened with large fines by the US Treasury for writing for the ‘wrong’ websites, writer Daniel Lazare told RT, concerned his country’s reputation as a defender of press freedom might be over.

Lazare and other US journalists who’ve written for the Strategic Culture Foundation, a website that describes itself as a “research platform on Eurasian global affairs,” recently received threatening letters from the Treasury Department warning they could be on the hook for at least $300,000 in sanctions penalties, he told RT on Sunday.

“It’s impossible to battle the US Treasury in this kind of case,” Lazare said, pointing out that the Treasury’s power was “enormous,” while “that of an individual freelance journalist is microscopic.” Citing the “chilling effect” of merely receiving such a document, he pointed out that few journalists would even acknowledge being thus targeted, never mind coming forward to do an interview about it, as he had.

Lazare was most concerned about the precedent such heavy-handed tactics set for the US’ once-staunch defense of the right to a free press, which is enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution and had previously been upheld in the courts.

Guess Lazare didn’t pay attention to what Obiden did to journalists during their tenure just 5 short years ago when they tried them under the espionage act and threw their buttocks in prison without a peep from dem congress critters. They were only concerned about whistleblowers that brought false charges against Trump. Not a peep in angst from the biggest liberal website either.

....in three paragraphs! Excellent.

The geographies of the Pharma genocide

I’ve been searching for the perfect metaphor or analogy to describe what’s going on. But then I realized that while there are some similarities to prior historical periods, in many ways what’s happening now is unprecedented. So the task before us is to identify the features of this genocide, how it works, and how it’s similar to or different from the past — so that we can look for points of leverage to overthrow the system. First, some orienting principles to guide the conversation: The best available evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is a man-made gain-of-function chimera virus that escaped from a bioweapons lab. Both U.S. and Chinese bioweapons researchers are involved.

Coronavirus vaccines do not stop infection, transmission, or bad health outcomes including death. After nearly 500 million doses in the U.S., all-cause mortality and COVID-19 deaths have increased. Doubling down on vaccination, with three, four, or infinite doses or even reformulated doses will not stop the pandemic. This virus was always a bad candidate for a vaccine and mRNA and adenovirus vectors are no great breakthrough and no panacea. Pharma knows all of the above. The CIA, NSA, NIH, and senior Pentagon leadership do too. Useful idiots in government do not necessarily understand the above even though they are the ones carrying out the orders. Only a handful of elected officials understand this.

If vaccines cause net harms, are being deployed worldwide, and every vaccine failure just leads to more vaccination, then this situation is best understood as a genocide. Fauci, the FDA, CDC, NIH, and AMA are all blocking access to safe and effective treatments. This is a crime against humanity and clear evidence of genocidal intent. Pharma has taken over the media and political system and is implementing the most draconian anti-science policies since the Third Reich. Totalitarianism is Pharma’s preferred form of government and they are working extremely hard to create a global totalitarian system of governance under their control.

All the best. Hear things are odd in Germany these days. Take care!

everything.

Joe Lauria at Consortium News, I remember knowing him, I think. He was in our office in DC of ARD German TV and he even helped me with something, I think he got me and set up the server/computer they used in the studio and got me the right software on it. I am so ashamed that I don't remember more. He was a very kind and helpful man. But I am sure about his name. It was a Joe Lauria.

I remember he was headed to New York. This was in 2011.

So do I understand it correctly that he is a lawyer defending or helping Assange?

Wow, may be CB or other physicians could write about how memory loss is caused and what one can do against it. I take my zink, Vitamin D and Calcium. It is not enough, I guess. Ma brain is falling apart. It's killing me emotionally. I do not want to forget.

If I sound weirdo, then because memory loss is a weird thing to experience. Forgive me. I don't want to be whiney.

and Curcumin. Homeopathic, herbal medicine was killed by Rockefeller back in the early 1900's. From the column today...

In the early 1900s, America’s first Billionaire, John D. Rockefeller bought a German pharmaceutical company that would later assist Hitler to implement his eugenics-based vision by manufacturing chemicals and poisons for war. Rockefeller wanted to eliminate the competitors of Western medicine, so he submitted a report to Congress declaring that there were too many doctors and medical schools in America, and that all natural healing modalities were unscientific quackery. Rockefeller called for the standardization of medical education, whereby only his organization be allowed to grant medical school licenses in the US. And so began the practice of immune suppressive, synthetic and toxic drugs. Once people had become dependent on this new system and the addictive drugs it provided, the system switched to a paid program, creating lifelong customers for the Rockefellers. Currently, medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US. Rockefeller’s secret weapon to success was the strategy known as, “problem-reaction-solution.” Create a problem, escalate fear, then offer a pre-planned solution. Sound familiar?

A few years ago it was discovered that people who consume a lot of turmeric rarely if ever come down with Alzheimers and related diseases. In short it prevents Alzheimers. But they arent interested in it, as it belongs to the whole world, not corporations, and so they cant monopolize it and make billions of dollars selling a patented drug for astronomical prices so high that sick people cant afford it. Like they did with HIV for so long that 30 million died. Its impossible to corner the market in it. Or so said Jusef Hamied, billionaire CEO of CIPLA whose company was tasked making medicines for India's poor by Mahatma Gandhi. In the 1990s he was interviewed, in the New York Times. His and CIPLA's story is worth reading.

So to return to Alzheimer, there is a fair amount of data that points to turmeric helping prevent Alzheimer disease, but if it does it doesn't do it like a drug would. Nor would it be commercially viable because it cannot be monopolized, the way patent laws work today. So they want to hide it of they cant monopolize it, or so says billioare Phama company CEO Yusef Hamied, talking about HIV drugs in the 1990s.
He was one of the people on my list of real heroes, people whom I admire greatly. people who have done a great deal for this planet in an exceptional way. But he did not do it by following criminal WTO rules, he did it by breaking them.

[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiSdKPEI7EY]
See the award winning story here ,
And he was put in jail, for saving thousands of lives of poor people with HIV who could not pay thousands of dollars a year, most of them were children. Imagine that. He manufactured the new ARV drugs which literally brought sick people back from the grave, and selling them for the cost to him to manufacture them, which was well under $1 a day to the people with HIV in the worlds officially poorest countries, so every few years, all a country has to do is prove its one of the very poorest countries in the world, and that its people have not been paid more, and as long as they remain the poorest they can get cut rate life saving drugs.

If people in the US made that little we might get help too. and then for a few more years countries can get for this global epidemic that kills millions of chiuldren, for about its cost. Otherwise people have to pay retail price. Because they are rich.

If we were one of the poorest countries, we could buy back.. To save a life. Yes, Hamied embarassed countries like the US and EU mega corporations, into doing what they should have done irregardless and by doing that saved their huge profits because nobody asked them to give them up for their curtomers in the rich world. Just the poorest countries where people make only a dollar or two a day. hose countries sometimes get a special exemptions to allow them to be exempt from WTO hat demand the commercial profits to be obeyed. A noose like ever more restrictive noose of rules demanding one way privatization and deregulation. big drug companies to sign a paper agreeing to sell low cost drugs to governments and later private neoliberal foundations so they would not be selfimplicated in crimes against humanity. These ARV drugs were called the Lazarus drugs because they would bring people back to the land of the living, literally from death's door. For less than one dollar a day - If only we could go back in time and ring back the approximately 30 million mostly the children who died in large numbers during that period when the drug companies wanted #12,000 to 30,000 a year for the rest of peoples lives after the drugs were being made and sold so dearly. WHich really should have been a capital crime. Drug profiteering. .YOu can watch the story, as they made an award winning film in 2013 about it. Fire in the Blood. so cheap as to effectively be free. Despite a quarter of modern medicines originating with plants, US doctors are very effectively brainwashed to only use drugs that are hyped by the drug industry. Ignoring many of the best and safest medicines out there. Instead they load people up with Rx drugs causing a dangerous situation for many people with whats called polypharmacy. Many of which have dangerous side effects. Then they took away the time doctors used to have to see patients. Insurers want doctors to avoid diagnosing and treating patients by differential diagnosis, (how doctors have traditionally diagnosed disease by a scientific process of elimination) Now the insurance amnd drug industry want doctors to prolong illness not cure it. To proritize 'patient retention', meaning just treat the symptoms of disease, not the disease itself. By giving pts overpriced and overly expensive complex drugs. Some drugs cost hundreds of dollars a pill to buy when they often cost only pennies to make. This is a real crime because its draining Americans of money they need to live. Safe and inexpensive drugs are being taken off the market to replace cheap old and well understod drugs with new patented ones that are often dangerous. And many have so many side effects that doctors can really screw up in the very short time they are given to ask questions and figure out what illness a patient has

One mistake that can be particularly dangerous is prescribing the wrong drug when faced by an invasive fungal illness, which are becoming more and more common s ambient temperatures rise. If temperatures keep going up fungo's optimum growth temperature will evolve to be closer to our body temperatures.

This in short is quite possibly why the dinosaurs became extinct, because their boy temperatres were cooler than ours. If ambient temps creep getting warmer and fungi catch up because of evolution, which is likely, they could becoe so much better at invading our bodies that millions could end up drying of invasive illnesses like mucormycosis. (also called black fungus in India-In fact it seems like that was starting to happen in India during the worst of the Covid epidemic. Not directly because of covid, it was because of overuse of immune suppressing drugs (steroids) AND covid. Just as I explained.
Don't know when they would change enough to make a curcuminoid if there was even the smallest chance of it reducing their profits in any way. They actually hide life saving discoveries ive repeatedly heard from drug discovery chemists. And its a sore point for them.

If a version of a polyphenolic phytomedicine, say an Alzheirmer specific curcuminoid..so efficatious they can sell it to sick people for thousands, making it profitable enough for them, though. They will be very unlikely to suddenly become altruistic. Its not their way, Anything but that.

Until then, which may never happen in this world, eat lots of curry, consume curcuminoids, or turmeric tea (which is really delicious, it tastes like ginger. And lots of other healthy fioods, if you can grow them or get them in some other way.. Community gardens. Look that up.
Yumm..)

Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the brain from stress-associated neurotoxicity. Its also one of a long list of molecules that are quite likely to be of use in preventing Covid 19 neurotoxicity to some extent. There are a great many plants that protect the immune system. There are so many that its fairly safe to say that a great many healthy foods or the absence of them in ones diet could be a major factor in Covid mortality.Lots of cutting edge drug discovery software tells us this. Plant medicines are actually one of the most promising, cutting edge kinds of medicine going on right now and its not anything other thn science. Its the leading edge of medicine, in research. Its not anything flaky or questionable like they try to tell us. They know it, they are lying. Its just that the average politician is easy for lobbyists to fool, and probably even easier for them to buy, so watch out.

So much so its actually a smart move to tell your friends and family to, all else being equal to eat colorful foods. Real, world famous experts have repeatedly told me things to that effect -this.
