Barbara Loe Fisher’s 40-Year History Advocating for the Vaccine Injured and the Right to Informed Consent
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 5 hours ago
Back in 1980, a young mother watched with horror as her infant son, who for 2.5 years was very healthy and at the top of all the growth and development charts for his age, began to deteriorate and start regressing just after his 4th DTP vaccine, which had caused convulsions just after being vaccinated, followed by life-long learning disabilities. Barbara Loe Fisher began the painful task of researching the actual science behind the vaccine market, rather than just blindly trusting what Big Pharma and government health authorities were saying about the safety and efficacy of vaccin...

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 6 hours ago
You could join liberals in celebrating the members of the Minneapolis police force who have testified for the prosecution in the Derek Chauvin murder trial in the past two days, or you could see right through it to what they’re really up to. On Thursday, a retired Minneapolis police officer who was a shift supervisor when Chauvin murdered George Floyd and received a call about the arrest from a concerned 911 dispatcher, became the first cop to desert Chauvin on the stand. Sgt. David Ploeger said that once Floyd was no longer offering any resistance, the cops “could’ve ended the re...

*Kris Osborn* *JASSM, Americas* The initiative seeks to advance a continued upgrade program to the weapon known as JASSM Operational Realtime Combat Analysis Increment Two (ORCA). *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While few details regarding the software enhancements are available, it would not be at all surprising if the weapon were being further adjusted to destroy moving targets. Descriptions of the weapon already cite an ability to hit “relocatable” targets, something which introduces or refers to the tactical advantages associated with striking targets on the move.

Russia Deserves to Be Proud of Its Su-57 Stealth Fighter

*Kris Osborn* *Russia Su-57, Europe* The Su-57 can reportedly reach speeds of Mach 2 and, also similar to the F-22, operate with supercruise technology, meaning the ability to sustain supersonic speeds without needing afterburners. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Tactically speaking, both the Su-57 and the F-22 are engineered to use stealth, combat maneuverability and dogfighting capability to address threats which may emerge, should the aircraft be detected. Advanced surveillance radar, for example, might be able to detect that something was “there” but stop short of being ...

*Kris Osborn* *F-35, * Their ambitions are pretty transparent. Here's what they have in mind. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Smaller more mobile aircraft carrier-type platforms could be a specific response to the increasing range of long-range anti-ship missiles intended to threaten carriers. The Chinese strategic approach appears to almost directly align with U.S. Navy adjustments. China may be spinning up an entirely new class of amphibious assault ship with cutting edge fixed-wing attack capabilities and an electromagnetic catapult as part of a transparent effort to cou...

“Almost all Americans have had an intense school experience which occupied their entire youth, an experience during which they were drilled thoroughly in the culture and economy of the well-schooled greater society, in which individuals have been rendered helpless to do much of anything except watch television or punch buttons on a keypad.
