The “Russian Threat”

'Biden’s executive order places everyone reporting objectively on Russia’s political positions as a potential threat to the United States. ...The victory of propaganda over truth elevates the likelihood of nuclear Armageddon.'

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: During 2016  CIA director John Brennan and FBI director James Comey, together with the corrupt US Democrat party, began orchestrating Russiagate in order to prevent Trump from reducing the risk of nuclear war by normalizing relations with Russia.  President Trump tried to nip a New Cold War in the bud, but that was not in the interest of the power and profit of the military/security complex which desperately needs the “Russian threat” as its raison d’etre. 

Stephen Cohen, myself and a few others expressed concern that the tensions between the two nuclear powers were being driven to more dangerous highs than ever existed during the 20th century Cold War.  Many websites joined in debunking the orchestrated Russiagate fabrication.

To discredit these voices, a new website, PropOrNot, suddenly appeared with a list of 200 “Russian agents/dupes.”  Those of us who had raised red flags about Russiagate and the worsening of tensions were on the list. The Washington Post gave the accusation credibility by reporting the PropOrNot accusation that those who dissented from a hostile policy toward Russia were “Putin agents.”

Global Hubris And Arrogance Will Bring On A Great Humbling

The universe has a way of leveling things out, of imposing limits on greed, arrogance and hubris. 

Quintus Curtius: We have observed that one of the themes of ancient literature is the concept of Fate or Fortune.  We find it first expressed in the plays and heroic poems of the Greeks; the idea then seeped into the writing of history and biography. 

Closely associated with this concept is the idea of divine retribution for offending the gods. 

Those who showed contempt for the divine or human law would be humbled by the harsh blows of Fate:  no man could expect to thumb his nose at the laws of the universe and get away with it.

So Sallust reminds us that Catiline and Jugurtha went down to ruin because their blind hubris caused them to scorn the laws of decency and human society. 

Livy and Polybius practically endorse the idea that Rome rose from nothing to rule the world because the gods had fated that it should be so. 

Tacitus and Suetonius chronicle every pernicious vice of the Julio-Claudian emperors to make the point that they deserved to go down in ignominious destruction.

Serum ACE-2: Why Infants Rarely Affected By COVID-19? + Understanding Autoimmunity In COVID-19 - Dr Philip McMillan

Vejon Health: Understanding some of the unusual characteristics of COVID-19 helps us to determine the pathophysiology of the disease. Infants are usually affected in most infections as they are vulnerable because of a poorly developed immune system.

Our research has focused on serum ACE-2, an enzyme that binds to the spike protein of the virus, and is at low levels for infants but increases in the elderly and specific comorbidities.
