Deadly Effect of COVID Shot Revealed – Destroys Blood Cells, Causes Death
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
As we have posted, these effects can be explained by Babeosis which is a malaria like paracite. However, do not expect a public identification here. More troubling the whole scenario has been described as a deliberate KILL program riding on the back of an unnessary vaccination program responding to what is a faux pandemic. In the meantime we have to accept garbage science and worse. The worst is the false testing charade they are putting folks through using a protocol likely having an alterior objective as well. *Deadly Effect of COVID Shot Revealed – Destroys Blood Cells, Cau...
Israel scientists cure 100% of covid patients with new therapy that mitigates cytokine storm
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
More good news as it brings a therapy able to counter the cytokine storm produced by many infections other than COV 19. The whole pandemic and the medical response to it is similar to the fight against malaria and we need to take our lead from all that. Again we need to confirm if the true agency of clinical infections is babeosis. Unfortunately we are also countering a wall of disinformation as well. *Israel scientists cure 100% of covid patients with new therapy that mitigates cytokine storm* *Tuesday, February 09, 2021 by: Lance D Johnson* *Tags: antibodies, breakthrough, ...

As Overdose Deaths Hit record High, Study shows Cannibis reduces Opiod use
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Right now, it is abundantly clear that cannibis needs to be universally legalized and its usage fully optimized. That we still see foot dragging is regretable and compares to the long legalization process axpereienced by alcohol. The least dregs of all that ended only in the eighties or fifty years after prohibition ended. At least some brave jurisdictions have ended all forms of criminalization of all drugs. Medical rules are plenty good enough to work with what is human error in most cases. Excess alcohol use will kill you. This is untrue for cannibis. Other drugs and pa...

How Homeschooling Exacerbated Education Inequalities Even Pre-Pandemic
Martin Myers, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Martin Myers* *Education, Europe* For many families, the choice to take their children out of school is no choice at all. Instead, it is a response to problems over which they have no control. In 2020, the pandemic has made homeschooling a fact of life. Even before this, though, what was once the obscure choice of a few families has grown in popularity over the past decade. In 2019, the Children’s Commissioner for England estimated that around 60,000 children were homeschooled. A persistent concern over homeschooling as a result of COVID-19 has been that it is causing new inequ...

Lorsqu'une étincelle de foi ou d'amour s'allume dans un cœur - Une Citation de M.N. Hopkins
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 21 hours ago
*Lorsqu'une étincelle de foi ou d'amour s'allume dans un cœur, elle brûle la peur et le chagrin des siècles. Ce cœur devient alors un allumeur d'autres cœurs, qui à leur tour allument la flamme de l'amour dans d'autres cœurs et ainsi de suite. À mesure que d'autres cœurs brûleront avec le feu de l'amour, la conscience de la planète changera. Peu à peu, puis elle augmente à mesure que la lumière qui arrive dans ce royaume augmente.* *© **M.N.

Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 21 hours ago
*Quando una scintilla di fede o di amore si accende in un cuore, brucia via la paura e lo strazio delle epoche. Questo cuore diventa poi un accenditore di altri cuori, che a loro volta accendono la fiamma dell'amore in altri cuori e così continua. Come più cuori bruciano con il fuoco dell'amore, la coscienza sul pianeta cambierà. A poco a poco e poi aumenta man mano che la luce che entra in questo regno aumenta.* *©** M.N.

*Kiedy iskra wiary lub miłości zapala się w sercu, wypala strach i bóle serca na przestrzeni wieków. To serce staje się wtedy zapalnikiem dla innych serc, które z kolei zapalają płomień miłości w innych sercach i tak to trwa. W miarę jak więcej serc płonie ogniem miłości, świadomość na planecie będzie się zmieniać. Trochę po trochu, a potem będzie się ona zwiększać, gdy światło przychodzące do tego królestwa będzie wzrastać.* *© M.N.

*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* African American men joined the Union ranks to escape slavery, destroy the Confederacy, prove their loyalty to the United States, and pursue their dreams of freedom and citizenship for black Americans. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Although several overzealous Union Army field commanders organized African Americans into ad hoc militia units early in 1862 and several black regiments were mustered into service later that year, it wasn’t until after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation took effect on January 1, 1863, t...

PA Pundits - International, PA Pundits – International - 1 day ago
By Kyle Drennen ~ Astonishingly, since the latest bombshell landed on Friday in the scandal swirling around New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mishandling of COVID in nursing homes across the state and his administration’s attempt to cover it up, ABC News has only offered a pathetic 59 seconds of air time to the story.

The Empty Promise of Western-Style "Equality" and "Democracy"
Land Destroyer, Land Destroyer - 1 day ago
*February 17, 2021* (Brian Berletic - LD) - Let's take a look at a US-backed opposition party in Thailand - Future Forward (now renamed as the Move Forward and Progressive Movement parties). These are parties that vow to create "equality" in Thailand - to take the "pyramid" of social order and turn it upside with "people power" at the top. I explain how this is pure propaganda and how those selling these lies to the public in an effort to swell the ranks of US-backed anti-government mobs in the streets have organized their own parties and businesses into the very "pyramidal" s...

How Iraq Is Becoming the Next Theater for Israeli-Iranian War
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* Israeli F-35s have allegedly already flown over Iraqi air space. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *An Israeli strike in Iran would be risky even with F-35s, given distance to the target – about a thousand miles from Tel Aviv to Tehran -- Iranian air defenses (including Russian-made S-300 anti-aircraft missiles) and potential Iranian retaliation. But Tel Aviv to Baghdad is less than 600 miles. Israel’s F-35 stealth fighters are positively supernatural: here, there and everywhere. In 2018, the Israeli Air Force claimed its new F-35s had att...
Bipartisanship in Congress: Playing Nice or Numbers Game?
Daniel Palazzolo, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Daniel Palazzolo* *Politics, The Americas* Senate rules require a “supermajority” – 60 out of 100 senators, including both Democrats and Republicans – to pass major legislation. But presidents have found it difficult to fulfill the promise of bipartisanship, which would require negotiation between Democratic and Republican leaders and the agreement of substantial numbers of lawmakers from both parties. Before he was even inaugurated as president, Joe Biden, elected at a time of strong political polarization, emphasized the importance of bipartisanship in dealing with Congress: “...
Roku’s Next Frontier Is Original Content
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Stephen Silver* *Roku Content, Americas* The Roku Channel has also been a cash cow for the company. Roku has been on a roll in a big way for the last year or so, as the pandemic led to a lot of people staying home more and using the company’s products as a conduit for entertainment. The company’s stock has surged throughout the last year, from $119.38 a share a year ago to $474.74 today, as the company has become more of a household name over time, along with robust sales of both Roku-branded TVs and Roku boxes and sticks. Roku has said that its users streamed nearly sixty bill...
Study: Humidity From Face Masks May Lessen Coronavirus Severity
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Coronavirus, Americas* A higher level of humidity—as it is known that hydration of the respiratory tract benefits the immune system—could help explain why wearing masks has been linked to lower severity in those infected with the coronavirus. Dozens of studies have already shown that face masks are able to protect people from contracting or spreading the coronavirus, but new research is indicating that there is yet another potential benefit for mask-wearers—humidity created inside the mask can, in fact, fight off respiratory diseases like COVID-19. The stu...

The Enlightenment’s Political Heritage
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
The political heritage of the Enlightenment is utopian since the movement was founded on three pseudo-concepts: universal morality, universal political ideology, and universal rationality. Those western nations which were able to resist the pull of the Enlightenment’s utopianism have made progress, while those which accepted that utopianism through and through faced great political and social problems. I am impressed by the analysis of the Enlightenment’s political heritage done by four philosophers: Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin, Leo Strauss, and Alasdair MacIntyre.

China Ousts the BBC Based on UK's Own Media Standards

*February 17, 2021* (Brian Berletic - NEO) - In a move that was entirely predictable after the UK's Office of Communications (Ofcom) banned China's CGTN from operating in the UK, China has reciprocated by banning BBC World News from broadcasting in China. The BBC in its own article titled, "China bans BBC World News from broadcasting," would claim: *China has banned BBC World News from broadcasting in the country, its television and radio regulator announced on Thursday.China has criticised the BBC for its reporting on coronavirus and the persecution of ethnic minority Uighur...
Global Food Inflation Deepens As Feed Prices Explode
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 1 day ago
*Bloomberg:* *The World Will Pay More for Meat as Food Inflation Deepens * (Bloomberg) -- There are signs that the food inflation that’s gripped the world over the past year, raising prices of everything from shredded cheese to peanut butter, is about to get worse. The Covid-19 pandemic upended food supply chains, paralyzing shipping, sickening workers that keep the world fed and ultimately raising consumer grocery costs around the globe last year. Now farmers -- especially ones raising cattle, hogs and poultry -- are getting squeezed by the highest corn and soybean prices in sev...
The Navy’s Next Fleet Might Not Have a Single Sailor Onboard
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * What is it like to design a ship with no crew? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In some ways, Sea Hunter was familiar to anyone who has been aboard a U.S. Navy ship. There was the haze-gray paint, and the ladders connecting the decks. But Sea Hunter also seemed inhumanly narrow, an 11-foot-wide vessel that seemed like it had been compressed in a vise. What is it like to design a ship with no crew? No living quarters, galleys or lavatories. DARPA, the Pentagon’s research agency, wants to design a ship designed from scratch to be fully automated.

Why North Korea (And Its Military) May Never Get Over the Korean War
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* Will 1950s tactics work today? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The cloak of night that concealed their movements in 1950 will be pierced by night vision sensors, radar and spy satellites. Mass attacks will be met by precise firepower from smart weapons. Perhaps the North Koreans haven't adapted to the twenty-first century. Normal military doctrine says that an attacker should outnumber the defender by at least three to one at the point of attack. But since when is North Korea normal?
