Anti-NATO rally at U.S. airbase in Turkey

Hundreds of people gathered near Incirlik Air Base in the southern Turkish province of Adana last week to voice their opposition to the military presence of the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). While Turkey claims it is their base (while true in a sense) it is the US-NATO that ultimately control the operation there. The US has had between 50-100 airplane launched tactical nuclear weapons at Incirlik for years. The US-NATO also have the same nukes stationed at bases in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Italy. read more

So sad. Barely a month old, the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board was “put on pause” this week after its Truth Knower in Chief, Nina Jankowicz, resigned her post. You’ll recall Ms. Jankowicz as the totally hinged, 33-year old Mary Poppins of Disinformation. Here she is, completely sane and in firm command of her faculties, doing her thing on the Chinese Communist Party’s preferred social media network, TikTok... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNcEVYq2qUg Now just hold your horses there, we hear you saying... isn’t Ms. Jankowicz the very same person who assured us the Hunter Biden laptop story – now known to be true, but buried at the time by those “in the know” – was just more “Russian influence?” “We should view it as a Trump campaign product,” Jankowicz told the Associated Press at the time. When the New York Post first broke the “Laptop from Hell” story, the (then) 219 year old paper, founded by Alexander Hamilton, was censored by Twitter for its troubles. Users were forbidden from sharing any link to the story... until April of 2021, that is, when the election was already in the bag and Jill Biden was picking out drapes for her comfy new residence. But wait! How could 50 national security officials... and five CIA spooks... get something so material and so damning so wrong, and right before a presidential election, in which the guy’s dad was on the ticket!, no less? Never mind all that, says your trusty Truth Czar. When it comes to disinformation – concocting, spreading, proliferating – you can rest assured that your government is on the case! As for free speech “absolutists” (read: people who believe in it)... Here’s Ms. Poppins Jankowicz commenting on Elon Musk’s plan to purchase the little blue bird and to let people – trigger warning – say what they want, “I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities.” Ah yes, the “marginalized communities”... like government agencies with multi-billion dollar budgets (the DHS burns through a casual billion dollars per week according to its 2022 budget) staffed with platoons of omniscient “fact checkers” like Ms. Jankowicz, who stand poised to edit your posts the moment you dare stray from the Official Party Line. Whether it’s the origins of covid... the efficacy of novel “vaccines”... the scientific “consensus” regarding lockdowns... the “transitory” nature of inflation... “peaceful protests”... Joe Rogan’s “horse dewormer”... “two weeks to flatten the curve”... this person as “Woman of the Year”... capital “T” Truth sure is hard to come by these days. For we mere proles, far from the central nervous system of enlightened savants that is the Ministry of Truth, a lot of what we’re told to believe sounds awfully like... well... not the truth. One man who knew a thing or two about the importance of “messaging” was Mr. Joseph Goebbels, the fellow who had Jankowicz’s job back when Sieg Heils and toothbrush mustaches were all the rage in Germany. Here he is, pulling the curtain back for us... “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (NB: He was actually talking about the English at the time, but the point stands. Just remember what Abraham Lincoln said: don’t believe everything you read on the Internet.) And here we found a handy pictorial guide – not yet deleted from Twitter – to help you actualize, rationalize and even internalize their truth and make it your truth. All it takes is a little cerebral contortion, a broken moral compass and a healthy dollop of good ol’ fashioned credulity. We’ll start with an easy one: inflation is good for you... and sending more stimulus checks certainly won’t make it worse (if it were bad... which, remember, it’s not)... You can even hum Ms. Poppins’s catchy tune while repeating the mantra. Anything to help the disinformation go down the hatch." bonnerprivateresearch@substack.com

Neonicotinoids are pesticides that have been coated with a thick outer layer of toxic, synthetic pesticide chemicals, and are found on seeds dispersed throughout 150 million acres of United States farmland each year. Mostly produced by Bayer and Monsanto, three varieties of these seeds were banned by the European Union in 2013 because of their link to widespread bee deaths. According t... read more
