The Battle For Control Of Your Mind

The new symbol of totalitarian repression is “not a boot, but an algorithm in the cloud: emotionless, impervious to appeal, silently shaping the biomass"

Authored by Aaron Kheriaty: In his classic dystopian novel 1984, George Orwell famously wrote, “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” This striking image served as a potent symbol for totalitarianism in the 20th Century. But as Caylan Ford recently observed, with the advent of digital health passports in the emerging biomedical security state, the new symbol of totalitarian repression is “not a boot, but an algorithm in the cloud: emotionless, impervious to appeal, silently shaping the biomass.”

These new digital surveillance and control mechanisms will be no less oppressive for being virtual rather than physical. Contact tracing apps, for example, have proliferated with at least 120 different apps in used in 71 different states, and 60 other digital contact-tracing measures have been used across 38 countries. There is currently no evidence that contact tracing apps or other methods of digital surveillance have helped to slow the spread of covid; but as with so many of our pandemic policies, this does not seem to have deterred their use.

The UK NHS's Most Serious (And Avoidable) Errors Of 2021

The most frequently seen malpractice in this stretch of time was surgery being performed on the wrong part of the body...

By Tyler Durden: If you’re about to go under the knife, you’d like to think that you will be in safe hands. And while you almost certainly are, with millions of operations being correctly performed each year in England alone, as Statista's Anna Fleck details below, doctors and nurses still slip up in a small number of cases.

According to new data released by the UK’s National Health Service, a total of 379 medical malpractices called ‘Never Events’ were recorded between April 1, 2021, and February 28, 2022.

The term is defined by the service as “serious, largely preventable patient safety incidents that should not occur if healthcare providers have implemented existing national guidance or safety recommendations.”

Palestine Protesters Confront New York Times Over Deceptive Shireen Abu Aqleh Headline

BT: Outraged protesters gathered at the NYTimes headquarters after they published a headline saying that Shireen Abu Aqleh simply "died at 51." The Palestinian journalist was murdered by Israeli soldiers.

BT's Kei Pritsker goes over how the “newspaper of record” has a long history of pro-Israel bias.

Lavrov: Ukraine Is A Tool Of The West To Contain Russia!

"The Collective West Has Declared A Total Hybrid War On Us."

RN: Speech by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov at the Assembly of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, Moscow, May 14, 2022. At this Assembly, Sergei Lavrov spoke about the current situation that has arisen in the world in connection with Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. The topics of NATO, the impending crisis in the European Union, the harm of sanctions, the world hegemony of the United States of America, problems in diplomatic relations between the West and Russia, and much more were touched upon..

US Pentagon-Funded War Games Think Tank Simulates War With China On NBC - Population Brainwashing In Effect

'This is headed somewhere very, very bad. Hopefully humanity wakes up in time to stop these lunatics from driving us off a precipice from which there is no return.'

By Caitlin Johnstone: NBC’s Meet the Press just aired an absolutely freakish segment in which the influential narrative management firm Center for a New American Security (CNAS) ran war games simulating a direct US hot war with China.

CNAS is funded by the Pentagon and by military-industrial complex corporations Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin, as well as the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office, which as Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp notes is the de facto Taiwanese embassy in the US.

The war game simulates a conflict over Taiwan which we are informed is set in the year 2027, in which China launches strikes on the US military in order to open the way to an invasion of the island. We are not told why there needs to be a specific year inserted into mainstream American consciousness about when we can expect such a conflict, but then we are also not told why NBC is platforming a war machine think tank’s simulation of a military conflict with China at all.

The Scamdemic: Now The Truth Is Coming Out

Russell Brand: A bombshell new report suggests multiple issues around quality control were kept hidden from the FDA at the plant of a longtime government contractor hired to produce hundreds of millions of coronavirus vaccine doses #Johnson&Johnson.

The Social Credit System Is The Elite’s Means Of Control

The next step is to use fear–9/11, Covid, Russia–to get a fearful and gullible population to agree to the loss of their constitutional protections in order “to be safe.”

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Duff Cooper, Viscount Norwich, was the only British minister who resigned over the Munich Agreement of 1938.  His autobiography was titled Old Men Forget.

I expect they do, but I remember.  

I remember when business, even large business, operated on handshakes without contracts.  Business could operate this way because people in those days had good character and integrity.  A person who welched on a handshake was finished in business.  

I grew up when America was still America.  We were taught that you had to be able to look yourself in the mirror every morning.  That required that you were truthful and honorable in your relations with others.

Today you can’t look yourself in the mirror unless you have ripped off, to your financial benefit, others.  Just read any of the books by Wall Street whistleblowers or government officials about how the system really operates.

Today, lawyers tell me, even iron-clad contracts cannot protect a deal.

Celebrities Are Such Scumbags Because They’re Invested In The Status Quo

'To be a celebrity within the oligarchic empire is, with very few notable exceptions, to be an agent of that empire. The weird plastic-faced freaks who fill our screens and shape our worldviews are as much a part of the oppression machine as the Pentagon and the police force.'

By Caitlin Johnstone: Have you ever wondered why a famous person whose work you’ve enjoyed has such a myopic perspective on world events? How someone can stir you at your most intimate depths with their words or their music and yet have a blinkered mainstream political worldview that is manufactured by think tanks and spinmeisters?

Celebrities have been particularly odious empire sycophants these last few days, and it’s probably worth taking a moment to reflect on what’s going on when that happens.

Bette Midler has been drawing headlines for her recent let-them-eat-cake remark about baby formula shortages, taking to Twitter to tell Americans, “TRY BREASTFEEEDING! It’s free and available on demand.”

Now We Are Being Told To Expect Food And Diesel Shortages For The Foreseeable Future

'Decades of very foolish decisions are starting to catch up with us in a major way.'

By Michael Snyder: If you think that the food and diesel shortages are bad now, then you will be absolutely horrified by what the globe is experiencing by the end of the year.  All over the planet, food production is being crippled by an unprecedented confluence of factors.  The war in Ukraine, extremely bizarre weather patterns, nightmarish plagues and a historic fertilizer crisis have combined to create a “perfect storm” that isn’t going away any time soon.  As a result, the food that won’t be grown in 2022 will become an extremely severe global problem by the end of this calendar year.  Global wheat prices have already risen by more than 40 percent since the start of 2022, but this is just the beginning.  Meanwhile, we are facing unthinkable diesel fuel shortages in the United States this summer, and as you will see below there are “no plans” to increase refining capacity in this country for the foreseeable future.

If you had told me six months ago that we would be dealing with the worst baby formula shortage in U.S. history in the middle of 2022, I am not sure that I would have believed you.

But that is precisely what we are now facing.  One young couple in Florida searched stores in their area for four hours and couldn’t find anything…

The Kremlin Never Learns

How, I asked, does Washington manage to get foreign governments to support Washington’s interests at the expense of their own countries? “Money,” the high Pentagon official said. “You mean foreign aid,” I said. “No,” the official said, “we give the political leaders bags full of money. We own them. They report to us.”

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: The Kremlin’s weak responses to provocations continue to encourage the West to bring Russia more, and more dangerous, provocations.  It is irresponsible for Washington and Washington’s NATO puppet states to provoke Russia.  But seeing weakness in the Kremlin, it is hard for the West to restrain itself.  The West now dismisses Russian threats as bluster.  Consequently, the West has moved from provocation to aggression. With arms shipments and diplomatic support, the West has become a de facto combatant allied with Ukraine against Russia.

The Kremlin is now faced with a much enlarged frontier with NATO from the prospect of Finland, with its long border with Russia and nearness to St. Petersburg, joining NATO.  Finland is under no danger of Russian attack as matters stand, but will be if Finland joins NATO.  Joining NATO means Finland will be nuclear-targeted, which currently the country is not.  It is obvious that Finland’s security deteriorates if Finland joins NATO.

How Is This A Thing? May 2022

"Concepts like lockdowns and restrictions on travel were unheard of before 2020. Essential and non-essential businesses, essential and non-essential journeys, these were unthinkable ideas before 2020, unthinkable infringements upon our basic human rights and freedoms and the alleged pandemic was the reason for their introduction, but what do you know, it turns out what qualifies as essential and non-essential journeys for example can be applied even when there isn't a pandemic." -Computing Forever
