Means of Control

Open Thread Image.jpg

If nothing else was gleaned from the plandemic, we must recognize how easily we were controlled by scaring us about our health. TPTB took note and no doubt have more in store. Our medical system focuses on illness, not health, after all that's is much more profitable. The processed foods most people eat, make them ill, and add even more profit to big pharma. Another trick in the works is Central Bank Digital Currency, so how and where we spend our money will be supervised and approved. Then of course there is the war machine and its Russia hate propaganda spewing from its Ministry of Truth. The control over the media megaphone underlies all these control mechanisms.

Media is indeed the key means of control. Last week we looked at the outright lies, omissions, and distractions which are the media manipulation tools. Listen to this spin against an antiwar rally from the madcow. (18 min)

Unlike virtually everyone else in the mainstream media, Rachel Maddow opted to cover the recent anti-war rally in Washington DC. Except, as the inveterate warmonger and consent manufacturer she is, Maddow spread lie after lie and smeared participants as “pro-Russia” while showing none of the speakers except Tulsi Gabbard, whom she didn’t identify by name while describing her as a "occasional fill-in host for Tucker Carlson." Overall it was a disgusting display and a stark reminder of what a tool for the establishment Maddow is.

Rachel was one of the most vocal cheerleaders of the Russiagate lie. Some reporters are telling the real story, but I wouldn't look for an apology from her.

This week Jeffery Sachs and Ray McGovern urged the UN to investigate the Nord Stream bombing.
Jeffrey Sachs on the Nord Stream Investigation |UN Security council| (8 min)

Raymond McGovern (born August 25, 1939) is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer turned political activist. McGovern was a CIA analyst from 1963 to 1990, and in the 1980s chaired National Intelligence Estimates and prepared the President's Daily Brief. He presented to the UN Security Council on February 21, 2023 his views about Nordstream bombing in a terrorist attack on Sep 26, 2022. (17 min)

Pandemic Post Mortem: The Truth Vs. The Narrative with Dr. Robert Malone (2+ hours)
At the start of the pandemic, Dr. Robert Malone had faith in the medical system he had worked within for decades. When vaccines were approved, he got double jabbed. To this day he is still trying to heal from the injuries he received as a consequence of that decision. Dr. Robert Malone has been courageously outspoken during these trying times, and as a result has been mercilessly attacked, slandered, and censored. This despite the fact that he is an internationally recognized scientist/physician and the original inventor of mRNA vaccination as a technology, DNA vaccination, and multiple non-viral DNA and RNA/mRNA platform delivery technologies with about 100 scientific publications and whose work has been cited over 12,000 times.

She also delves into Farrar's background as the director of the Wellcome Trust, a major funder of medical research in the UK with ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Webb suggests that the Wellcome Trust's influence on public health policy has been largely overlooked and warns of the potential implications of Farrar's new role at the WHO.

Economists Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson explain the rise of the US dollar system, its central role in imperialism, and why it ultimately failed to accomplish Washington's hegemonic goals.

Perhaps I should have called this column "Losing Control", because the globalist western plans are not working out. There is a new world alignment forming which largely rejects US hegemony.
"US hegemony and its Perils" was published by Xinhua News Agency on Monday.
China has released a report exposing American misbehavior on the global political, military, economic, scientific, and cultural stages, amid the US' ongoing provocations against China, such as its unfounded claims of a "Chinese spy balloon". It has sparked a raging debate online.

I think the globalist are so caught up in their delusion, that they can't emotionally let go of their agenda. Perhaps the world is teetering toward a large BRICS+ block and a smaller western one? Who knows, we'll see what we see.

I meant to include a transcript of Putin's speech this week, but see I forgot to include it. The China paper on US hegemony I found more interesting.

I’ve noticed that my iPad isn’t charging as fast either, but there’s no option like for the phone. Did they not do the update or did they find a way to hide it?

How many other devices are doing this too. I haven’t bought any appliances that connect to the net but one day I won’t have a choice. I swore I’d never get a car with all the bells and whistles and yet I did just that.

For the moment I'm just going to throw out a little digression. Yosemite Nat'l Park is closed due to weather. There are 4 webcams one can cycle between for grins, here is Yosemite Falls:

https://yosemite.org/webcams/yosemite-falls/

If you open it, across the top of the page are drop down menus, the furthest left of which is "Explore Yosemite". Upon clicking that one, the top line is "web cams" and clicking tht gives you a pop out listing the cams in question. Last I looked, El Capitan was in white out and the high country, though nice, was allegedly acting up.

simplicius76 is reporting that they attacked a Russian plane there. Nothing on RT though nor Sputnik.

SITREP 2/26 - Urgent Update

Today it has been confirmed by reputable sources that the AFU has attacked Belarusian soil—specifically a drone attack on a Russian early warning A-50U Beriev plane parked in Machulishchi airbase, just outside of Minsk. The UA side claims the A-50U was damaged, while there is no confirmation from the Russian side.

The attack on the military airfield near Minsk is confirmed. The target of the strike was likely a Russian A-50 AWACS aircraft. Whether this board was hit, and how seriously, is still unknown. Ukrainian resources report "medium damage".

However, other sources are reporting more ‘serious’ damage:

The BYPOL initiative reports that a Russian military A-50 AEW&C aircraft was blown up at Machulishchy military airfield this morning. According to BYPOL, the front and center parts of the aircraft, avionics and radar antenna were damaged.

“The damage is serious, the aircraft is definitely not flying anywhere anymore. The accident occurred while snowplows were working near the aircraft. [...] Belarusian partisans are consistent in expelling fascists from their land,” BYPOL writes.
….

No, the only conceivable reason the AFU would strong-arm Belarus into entering the conflict is if it was part of a well-detailed and coordinated Western intel operation (read: trap) meant to vastly escalate the conflict. The most likely vector of escalation would be to force the entry of Belarusian forces into Ukraine to use that as raison d'être to bring Polish and/or NATO troops into the country to, in some way, assist Ukraine.

If this is true Russia will hold NATO accountable for it because without them supplying weapons to Ukraine it would not have happened. And NATO has plans to escalate the war for some time. Damn them all because they are risking nuclear war! Suck on that Rachel!

Putin Says NATO Countries Indirectly Involved in Ukraine's Crimes Against Civilians

Weapon supplies to Ukraine free-of-charge by NATO countries makes them an accomplice, albeit indirectly, to crimes committed by Kiev against civilians in the regions that broke away from it in the east, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
"It is not a simple military cooperation, as they [NATO countries] do not get money in return. They are unilaterally supplying weapons [to Ukraine], which means that they are involved — at least indirectly — in the crimes committed by the Kiev regime, including the shelling of residential areas in Novorossiya and Donetsk," Putin told the Moscow.Kremlin.Putin TV show.

And there is talk that Ukraine might soon attack Transnistria and take the huge cache of weapons that are stored there.

Biden and Blinken have given Ukraine permission to attack the civilians in the Donbas and Mariupol and other areas that Russia controls. They attacked many of those areas while Putin was giving his speech on the 21st. Of course the corporate whores in the media isn’t covering any of this news. I wonder how many more times will Russia need to defeat the Ukraine army before NATO runs out of weapons? France and Germany are telling Zelensky that he should start thinking of making peace with Russia. Blinken, Nuland and others are saying that after they do that they plan on arming Ukraine again.

The Pandemic Treaty Is Far Worse Than Even Conservative Media Is Portraying

States Rights Be Damned

The biggest risk of the Pandemic Treaty is that it opens a pathway through which the federal government, under control of the World Health Organization, will have legally binding authority to circumvent the Constitution in regards to states' jurisdiction over healthcare. According to The Epoch Times:

The U.S. Supreme Court has on several occasions supported the notion that these executive agreements constitute federal law and supersede state laws and regulations. This includes State of Missouri v. Holland, which ruled that treaties supersede state laws, and United States v. Belmont, which ruled that executive agreements without Senate consent are legally binding on Americans. Under the U.S. Constitution, health policy falls under state jurisdiction, but the WHO pandemic accord may be a way to bring health policy under the jurisdiction of the federal government, once the WHO declares a pandemic.

Increasingly, the Biden administration is looking toward international agreements to do what it can’t achieve through Congress. Most recently, having failed to increase corporate taxes in Congress, the Biden administration entered into an international agreement with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to set minimum tax levels on all corporations within signatory countries. While GOP lawmakers said the agreement had “no path forward” toward approval as a treaty, provisions written into the agreement allowed foreign countries to tax U.S.-based corporate profits as a punitive measure, if senators do not approve it.

The only thing that prevented the Biden-Harris regime from imposing more mandates is that they could not force healthcare policies onto the states. This agreement gives them a possible backdoor through which to do so since treaties are considered grounds to impose, as they've done many times in the pass, supremacy over the states.

The question then becomes a loop. If it's a treaty, it must receive Senate approval to be ratified. If they're claiming it's an executive agreement, then does it hold the same weight as a ratified treaty? Based on previous Supreme Court rulings, it appears that it does. This is an incorrect decision and the precedent of United States vs Belmont should be disregarded. The real question is whether or not it can be. More on that below.

One Health Surveillance

The most dangerous aspect, at least early on, regarding the Pandemic Treaty is that it empowers government to go after "misinformation" and "disinformation" through "One Health Surveillance." This is also something the U.S. government has struggled to do over the years, at least publicly. They have been doing it with Twitter and other Big Tech companies for years, as the Twitter Files have revealed, so there's that. But their efforts to stifle perspectives through their so-called Ministry of Truth failed, at least temporarily.

With the Pandemic Treaty, that no longer becomes an issue. The U.S. government would simply outsource their censorship to the World Health Organization and have their perfect workaround against the Constitution.

This is much worse than Obama’s TPP that would have given away national sovereignty over our lands because it gives away our rights for sovereignty over our bodies. Lots of people have been shouting out about this, but very few are hearing them. It was designed to bypass congressional approval and no one person should have the power to do that. Might want to read the essay in its entirety and see how bad this is.

Interesting

I can see him saying that.

ETA

Btw I just saw them messing with my iPhone so they could make me charge it at a more convenient time and I nor millions of people wouldn’t have known that if we didn’t see the tweet. I’m betting that they did that to my iPad because I used to charge it during my walk and when I got home it was fully charged. Now it’s not and I can’t change it back on it. Maybe the next update will take the option away for the phone.

On his fifth time as guest host on the now far-leftist Saturday Night Live, Harrelson entered into a monologue which seemed to catch the New York audience off guard as the joke ended with a scathing indirect indictment of Big Pharma, lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

The progressive media is, not surprisingly, furious, accusing Harrelson of not only spreading a "conspiracy theory" but being high with the Rolling Sone's Marlow Stern claiming he was "apparently under the influence."

I don't know what to laugh at more, Harrelson's monologue or Marlow Stern claiming he was "apparently under the influence."

Give us a break!

the Rona, but now with the media freaking out about what he did say it’s going to be the Streisand effect. And how despicable of Marlow to say that about him after he explained how sober he has been. Once upon a time shitlibs would have called him out on his words, but I think instead they will cheer him for saying it. Smdh…

@snoopydawg

his comment that he was sober for 7 months, and then 5 months. I'll listen again. Rona was implied.
What is the Streisand effect?

I googled the Streisand effect. My first thought was better the Dylan effect - keep it private.

@janis b

and so she made a big stink about it and then everyone started looking for her house on googles. Isn’t that the gist?

But making insults about his sobriety or lack of it is low. That crossed the line. I did it for 10 years and was quite proud of myself.

Instead he is letting corporations use them as unpaid laborers working in dangerous jobs. It’s being overseen by the department of health. Great job, Joe! I’m sure the people who gave Trump crap for locking kids in cages that Obama built will take notice of this any day now…just a matter of time.

One excuse for this is that there are too many kids and not enough people to look out for them.

Ukrainians are guests in Germany and German taxes are helping pay for their lodging and then they turn around and do this.

I wonder if this young lady knows how her country has been killing her fellow Ukrainian people in the Donbas for the last 9 years and that America has been training actual Nazis that have been doing the killing in many areas of Ukraine? I’m guessing not. Or if she knows that Germany had signed a treaty with Russia not to go to war with them again? Germany has broken the treaty, but they aren’t the only ones. Well we know how America values the treaties that they sign…

Yesterday Ukrainians put a displayed a broken Russian tank with Ukraine flags on it and the German people brought tons of flowers and put them on it. And took down the flag.

This dude flipped the script but the people replying to him don’t know that.

that I had no opportunity to thank you for yet another brilliant WW, LO.
I worked in the yard, pruning flowering bushes. And laundry. And cooking dinner with the new gas stove. Man, it is great!
I want to spend some time in Alabama sooner rather than later.
Sometimes, I wished I lived there.
Take good care, friend.

...and doing chores. Spring has sprung here. sounds like you're getting a taste too.

Congrats on the new stove. Ironically we have a gas stove made by GE. No electricity except for a 9V battery to power the strikers/lighters. Go figure.

March is a great time to visit Alabama. Excellent wildflower time and the start of the bird migration. Come when you can swing it!
