All Together, Now: Everyone Hate Putin, Hate Russia

By Mike Whitney

The Unz Review, March 2, 2021: Why is Vladimir Putin standing up to the richest and most powerful men in the world? Why is he bad-mouthing their “pet project” Globalization and trash-talking their “Great Reset”? Does he really think these corporate mandarins and “silver spoon” elites are going to listen to what he has to say or does he realize that they’re just going to hate him more than ever? Why is he doing this?

Here’s what’s going on: At the end of January, Putin was given the opportunity to address the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland (online). The WEF is a prestigious assembly of political leaders, corporatists and billionaire elites many of who are directly involved in the massive global restructuring project that is currently underway behind the smokescreen of the Covid-19 pandemic. Powerful members of the WEF decided that the Coronavirus presented the perfect opportunity to implement their dystopian strategy which includes a hasty transition to green energy, A.I., robotics, transhumanism, universal vaccination and a comprehensive surveillance matrix that detects the location and activities of every human being on the planet. The proponents of this universal police state breezily refer to it as “The Great Reset” which is the latest make-over of the more familiar, “New World Order”. There’s not a hairsbreadth difference between the Reset and one-world government which has preoccupied billionaire activists for more than a century. This is the group to which Putin made the following remarks:

“I would like to speak in more detail about the main challenges ..the international community is facing…. The first one is socioeconomic….. Starting from 1980, global per capita GDP has doubled in terms of real purchasing power parity. This is definitely a positive indicator. Globalisation and domestic growth have led to strong growth in developing countries and lifted over a billion people out of poverty….Still, the main question… is what was the nature of this global growth and who benefitted from it most…..

… developing countries benefitted a lot from the growing demand for their traditional and even new products. However, this integration into the global economy has resulted in more than just new jobs or greater export earnings. It also had its social costs, including a significant gap in individual incomes…. According to the World Bank, 3.6 million people subsisted on incomes of under $5.50 per day in the United States in 2000, but in 2016 this number grew to 5.6 million people....

Meanwhile, globalisation led to a significant increase in the revenue of large multinational, primarily US and European, companies…In terms of corporate profits, who got hold of the revenue? The answer is clear: one percent of the population.

And what has happened in the lives of other people? In the past 30 years, in a number of developed countries, the real incomes of over half of the citizens have been stagnating, not growing. Meanwhile, the cost of education and healthcare services has gone up. Do you know by how much? Three times…

In other words, millions of people even in wealthy countries have stopped hoping for an increase of their incomes. In the meantime, they are faced with the problem of how to keep themselves and their parents healthy and how to provide their children with a decent education….

These imbalances in global socioeconomic development are a direct result of the policy pursued in the 1980s, which was often vulgar or dogmatic. This policy rested on the so-called Washington Consensus with its unwritten rules, when the priority was given to the economic growth based on a private debt in conditions of deregulation and low taxes on the wealthy and the corporations….

As I have already mentioned, the coronavirus pandemic has only exacerbated these problems. In the last year, the global economy sustained its biggest decline since WWII. By July, the labour market had lost almost 500 million jobs…. In the first nine months of the past year alone, the losses of earnings amounted to $3.5 trillion. This figure is going up and, hence, social tension is on the rise.” (“Session of Davos Agenda 2021Online Forum, Putin Addresses World Economic Forum, Jan 27, 2021)

Why is Putin telling his elitist audience these things?

Is the Vaccine More Deadly Than the Virus?

Arutz Sheva, February 18, 2021: Vaccination in Israel: Challenging mortality figures?

A front-page article appeared in the FranceSoir newspaper about findings on the Nakim website regarding what some experts are calling "the high mortality caused by the vaccine."

The paper interviews Aix-Marseille University Faculty of Medicine Emerging Infectious and Tropical Diseases Unit's Dr. Hervé Seligmann and engineer Haim Yativ about their research and data analysis. They claim that Pfizer's shot causes "mortality hundreds of times greater in young people compared to mortality from coronavirus without the vaccine, and dozens of times more in the elderly, when the documented mortality from coronavirus is in the vicinity of the vaccine dose, thus adding greater mortality from heart attack, stroke, etc."

Dr Hervé Seligmann works at the Emerging Infectious and Tropical Diseases Research Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France. He is of Israeli-Luxembourg nationality. He has a B. Sc. In Biology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and has written over 100 scientific publications.

FranceSoir writes that they follow publications, data analyzes, and feedback from various countries on vaccination, and have therefore taken an interest in the Nakim article, asking to interview them in order to understand their analysis and its limitations.

The authors of the article declare they have no conflicts or interests other than having children in Israel.

After a presentation, the authors discussed their data analysis, the validations carried out, limitations, and above all, their conclusions that they compare with data received via a Health Ministry Freedom of Information Act request.

Their findings are:

• There is a mismatch between the data published by the authorities and the reality on the ground.
• They have three sources of information, besides the emails and adverse event reports they receive through the Internet. These three sources are Israeli news site Ynet, the Israeli Health Ministry database, and the U.S. federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database.
• In January 2021, there were 3,000 records of vaccine adverse events, including 2,900 for mRNA vaccines.
• Compared to other years, mortality is 40 times higher.
• On February 11, a Ynet article presented data related to vaccination. The authors of the Nakim article claim to have debunked this analysis based on data published by Ynet itself: “We took the data by looking at mortality during the vaccination period, which spans 5 weeks. By analyzing these data, we arrived at startling figures that attribute significant mortality to the vaccine."
• The authors say “vaccinations have caused more deaths than the coronavirus would have caused during the same period."
• Haim Yativ and Dr. Seligmann declare that for them, "this is a new Holocaust," in face of Israeli authority pressure to vaccinate citizens.

They also invite specialists to complete their analyses, and intend to pursue legal follow-up to their discovery. The Health Ministry was not available for comment on a FranceSoir query regarding the findings.

The authors also deplored "the fact of not being able to communicate on this vital information" to their fellow citizens.

On their site, Nakim writes: "On February 11, 2021, Ynet (the most known Israeli News website) published a confused and confusing article entitled 'Vaccination efficiency data in Israel, and its rapid effects on the young'.

"Our reanalyses of these data explain why during the massive vaccination project initiated mid-December 2020 during a confinement, daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases failed to decrease as they do during confinements, and, more importantly, why numbers of serious, critical, and death cases increased during that period that covered at least one month. From mid-December to mid-February (two months), 2,337 among all Israeli 5,351 official COVID-deaths occurred. Our analyses indicate orders of magnitude increases in deaths rates during the 5-week long vaccination process, as compared to the unvaccinated and those after completing the vaccination process. Presumably, asymptomatic cases before vaccination, and those infected shortly after the 1st dose, tend to develop graver symptoms than those unvaccinated.

"The Ynet article is organized in an exciting way and uses data provided in an erroneous way by the Ministry of Health. It is unclear whether this was intentional to prove the vaccine's efficiency or if this was done erroneously because the provided data were misunderstood. Note that in Israel, all vaccines are from Pfizer.

"The data in the table, rather than indicating the vaccine efficacy, indicate the vaccine's adverse effects," the authors conclude.

Is This the Beginning of the End of the Covid Disaster or Is It Only the End of the Beginning

DAILY MAIL: The city where new Brazilian strain defeated herd immunity: Manaus is gripped by surging cases and record deaths despite 75% of the population getting infected during first wave

This is seriously bad news. The report from Manaus of a surging rate of Covid reinfection means, first, that the virus is mutating so rapid that immunity, whether acquired through infection or vaccination, is extremely short-lived; and second, that any T-cell response* to infection is failing to provide immunity to reinfection by some new strains of the virus.

It is also the case that the wave of reinfections in Brazil, could be evidence of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), meaning that antibodies produced in response to vaccination may facilitate infection by, and enhance the virulence of, novel strains of the virus.

If a pessimistic interpretation of the report from Brazil is correct, the Covid disaster is only now beginning to take shape. What we could then expect is:

Not an end to quarantine for international travelers, but an end to international travel.

Not an end to pub and restaurant closures, but an end to pubs and restaurants.

Not an end to work from home, but an end to most work.

Not an end to home schooling, but an end to schools.

___

* Immunity to viral disease normally depends on both a long-term T-cell response that resists reinfection, and a short-lived antibody response that combats the disease following infection.

The Covid-19 mRNA vaccines induce an antibody response but no T-cell response. Hence, while they prevent manifestation of disease they do not prevent infection or, therefore, the spread of infection.

Thus, it was to be hoped that because it entailed a T-cell response, resistance induced by infection, unlike that induced by vaccination, would be long-lived. The report from Brazil of widespread reinfection among those previously infected means that this hope was ill-founded.

But if useful comment is possible, perhaps it is the humorists and comic actors who are best qualified to add substance to the debate. In that hope, I present the irrepressible Katie Hopkins:

America: A Nation Living With Lies

 Yusef, commenting on an earlier post, pointed out that if reported US Covid-19 deaths relative to population were similar to the numbers reported for the rest of the world: 

"we would have 4% of the covid-related deaths. Instead we have 20%, or 5X what we "should" have"

But I see no reason to believe the US stats. 

The US has clearly superseded the Soviet Union as the world's biggest liar. 

The US doesn't merely lie about important things such as the reasons for "bombing the shit out of" this or that country (to use President Trump's idiom), but about almost everything. 

Like the dying Soviet Union, the US teaches lies in its schools and universities.

Indeed, lies are the only essential part of the US educational curriculum, hence America's continuing decline in the ratio of educational attainment per dollar expended, which must be about the lowest in the world. 

Americans, like the citizens of Russia in the days of the Soviet Union are living with lies. 

Lies about almost everything. From Black lives matter, meaning all white people are racists who deny that black lives matter, to a seemingly endless list of mind-numbing bullshit from micro-aggressions to triggering, pussy hats, cultural appropriation, and the demand for less whiteness, aka European cultural and racial genocide. 

Which means that Americans get more lies and sheer nonsense for their educational dollar than anyone else. As the inevitable result, Americans have the lowest rate of academic achievement per dollar invested than any other country in the world, although the Brits are right up there along with the people of Canada where, to quote a national newspaper headline, Universities have become cesspools of political correctness.

What to do?

Well obviously when you are in the throws of a Communist takeover your chances of doing anything to counter the menace other than hurt yourself are slight. But here's how to make a start in transforming "education" from a process of Communist indoctrination to a process of productive learning.

Enact legislation that:

Embodies in education the old English principle that "Sticks and stone may break my bones but words can never hurt me;"

Makes academic achievement the driving principle of education at all levels;

 Pays teachers according to student achievement, and pays the best teachers more than the top educational bureaucrats. 

 But nothing of the kind, obviously, will be done. 

We are all doomed.  Doomed to live under the increasingly tyrannical rule of fools and scoundrels.

Why Almost Everything You Know About Covid-19 Is a Lie

By Paul Craig Roberts

There is no scientific basis for the measures in place to deal with the alleged Covid Pandemic.  Among experts, support for these measures is largely limited to those with financial links with pharmaceutical corporations. Public health bureaucrats, such as Fauci at NIH, are also linked with pharmaceutical corporations.  Medical practitioners take their guidance from approved authority, which means NIH, CDC, WHO, all compromised with conflicts of interest.  Conforming with these compromised institutions provides liability protection that relying on independent  expert advice does not.

One thousand five hundred experts from around the world have come together to challenge the Covid measures as “a global scientific fraud of unprecedented proportions.”  Here is their statement.  

Is it safe to assume that compromised public health bureaucracies with links to pharmaceutical corporations know more and are more trustworthy than independent experts?

What is the real agenda behind the Covid Deception?  Clearly it is not public health.

How was media orchestrated to deplatform and censor experts who challenge the obviously unsuccessful Covid measures?  It should make you instantly suspicious when scientifically ignorant and totally compromised presstitutes dismiss dissenting independent experts as “conspiracy theorists.”

Why is no public discussion of the situation possible?  If the Covid measures could stand examination, there would be no censorship.

Clearly, an undeclared agenda is being shoved down our throats.  

In this article Dr. Pascal Sacre explains why the PCR test results in a huge exaggeration in the number of Covid infections and thus serves the assertion of a pandemic and the creation of fear that causes people to accept tyrannical measures.   

That independent scientific experts have been forced out of public discussion should tell you how utterly corrupt are the governments of the world.

Coronapocalypse; Big Pharma's Doomsday Vaccine #666

mRNA Vaccines: Five Questions

1. DID YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE NEVER SUCCESSFULLY VACCINATED AGAINST ANY CORONAVIRUS?

2. DID YOU KNOW IT USUALLY TAKES 5-10 YEARS TO FULLY DEVELOP A VACCINE?

3. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE COVID “VACCINE” IS BASED ON NEW TECHNOLOGY, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN APPROVED FOR USE ON HUMANS BEFORE?

4. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES CAN’T BE SUED IF THE VACCINE HURTS OR KILLS SOMEONE?

5. DID YOU KNOW 99.8% OF PEOPLE SURVIVE COVID19?

For explanatory notes, see: Five questions to ask your friends who plan to get the Covid vaccine

6. ONE OTHER QUESTION YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT IS:

DID YOU KNOW YOUR RISK OF DEATH FROM COVID-19 IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON YOR AGE? IN PARTICULAR, FOR THOSE UNDER 30, THE RISK IS ONE IN THOUSANDS, FOR THOSE UNDER 50, THE RISK STILL AVERAGES ONE IN THOUSANDS. ONLY FOR THE OVER 60'S DOES THE RISK EXCEED ONE PERCENT.

Governmental sources are remarkable cagey about providing clear information on this vital fact. Why? Surely, so the public does not challenge the lunacy of shutting schools and businesses.

For greater clarity on the age effect, here are statistics from the Province of Ontario Canada showing the estimated Province-wide Covid-19 infection fatality rate by age until May 19, 2020. 

What the data show is that:

Among children nine years of age or younger the estimated risk of death from Covid-19 is 0.002%, or one in  50,000.

For other age groups the estimated Infection Fatality Rates (IFR) are:

Age         IFR (%)     IFR (Proportion)

10-19    0.007           1 in 14,000

20-29    0.031           1 in   3,226 

30-39    0.084           1 in   1,190

40-49    0.161           1 in      621

50-59    0.595           1 in      168

60-69    1.93             1 in        52

70-79    4.28             1 in        23

80+       7.80             1 in        13

But those numbers are based on reported cases, which totaled only 0.25% of the population. The actual number of cases will certainly have been greater than the number of reported cases and probably many times greater. Moreover, it is reasonable to suppose that cases proving fatal were more likely to have come to the attention of the Medical authorities than non-fatal cases. It is certain, therefore, that the actual infection fatality rates were lower, and probably much lower, than those indicated above. 

7. SO ONE MORE QUESTION: DO YOU REALLY THINK IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU THAT YOUR GOVERNMENT TRASHED THE ECONOMY -- CAUSING THE CLOSURE OF ONE IN FIVE CANADIAN BUSINESSES, DEBAUCHED THE CURRENCY, DISRUPTED EDUCATION, AND NOW IS DETERMINED TO JAB YOU WITH AN UNTESTED VACCINE FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN A  TEMPORARY BUMP IN THE RISK OF DEATH WHICH, FOR THOSE UNDER 50, IS SLIGHT TO NEGLIGIBLE?

Global Warming? Athens, February 2021

This picture tells you nothing about climate change, but suggests that February is a good time for sight-seeing in Greece: no unbearable heat, no crowds, and low-season hotel rates -- and next week it will be sunny with temperatures near 20 C.

The Moral Insanity of the Politically Correct

 

The New York Times column the New York Times didn’t want anyone to read

Last weekend, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote a piece criticizing the rationale behind the forced ouster of Times reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr., but it was never published. Stephens told colleagues the column was killed by publisher A.G. Sulzberger. Since then, the piece has circulated among Times staffers and others — and it was from one of them, not Stephens himself, that The Post obtained it. We publish his spiked column here in full.

Every serious moral philosophy, every decent legal system and every ethical organization cares deeply about intention.

It is the difference between murder and manslaughter. It is an aggravating or extenuating factor in judicial settings. It is a cardinal consideration in pardons (or at least it was until Donald Trump got in on the act). It’s an elementary aspect of parenting, friendship, courtship and marriage.

A hallmark of injustice is indifference to intention. Most of what is cruel, intolerant, stupid and misjudged in life stems from that indifference. Read accounts about life in repressive societies — I’d recommend Vaclav Havel’s “Power of the Powerless” and Nien Cheng’s “Life and Death in Shanghai” — and what strikes you first is how deeply the regimes care about outward conformity, and how little for personal intention.

The Crooks, Imbeciles and Shysters Behind the Scamdemic

 By Jeffrey A. Tucker

American Institute for Economic Research, February9, 2020: People of the future will look back at these 11 months and be very confused. How could virtually the entire world have thrown out settled practices of civil, economic, and cultural liberties for a virus that resisted every attempt to control it? 

This virus is not Ebola and it has come nowhere near approaching the death rates associated with H1N1 of 1918. By some measures, it’s not been as deadly as 1957-58, a virus that came and went without much public attention at all. New pathogens are part of life, and there was and is nothing particularly unusual about this one. 

The enduring question now and for many years to come will be: why? We all asked the question a thousand times, and it has been asked of us the same number of times. It is too early to say, and the answer will likely be similar to other epic events in history such as the Great War or the Fall of Rome.

India Achieves Covid Herd Immunity With Mortality of One in Five Thousand

 India, is reported to have achieved Covid herd immunity, with about half the population, or just under seven hundred million people, having Covid19-specific antibodies. That means India is essentially finished with Covid as a national disaster. 

Covid deaths recorded in India total 155,000, indicating a Covid19 infection fatality rate of around one in 5000.  That is around one tenth of the rates reported in Europe and North America. That difference reflects, at least in part, the steep age-dependence of Covid mortality and a difference in population age profile. India has fewer than 6% of its population aged over 60 versus around 26% in Europe and North America. 

In addition, the European and North American infection fatality rates are undoubtedly greatly exaggerated due to underestimation of the infection rate, which is based on reported cases, not population-wide antibody surveys.  

The inference is clear: The Western states have totally mishandled the epidemic. The virus should have been allowed to spread among the young and resilient, while the elderly should have been given every means to isolate themselves — if they so chose. And it should be emphasized that isolation of the elderly should have been entirely voluntary. At the age of 75 plus, why should one not take a 10% risk of dying a year or two prematurely due to Covid, rather than being locked up for much, or perhaps all, of the rest of one's life?

What the response of the Western nations to Covid19 demonstrates is either remarkably poor judgement in government, or a conspiracy to undermine Western economies and crush the spirit of the people.

Covid19: Vaccination and the Risk of Antibody Dependent Enhancement

The infection fatality rate for Covid19 has a strong age dependency. Young people have a negligible risk of death from Covid19. Those over 70 have a better than 10% risk of death from the disease. Such a steep age dependency means that rational assessment of the balance between the cost and benefit of vaccination is strongly age dependent.

For the young, with a negligible risk of death from Covid infection, the risk of accepting an untested vaccine with unknown adverse effects may seem unreasonably high, whereas for the old, if they wish to prolong what little remains of their lives, the possibility of negative effects beyond the immediate future will be of little concern.

One obvious potential adverse effect of Covid vaccines now being administered, is antibody dependent enhancement, or ADE, the enhancement in question being of viral infectivity and pathogenicity. 

Based on experience with other vaccines, ADE arises on exposure not to the viral strain against which a vaccine has been developed, but exposure to different strains of the same virus. The emergence now reported of multiple new Covid19 strains thus creates precisely the conditions that might lead to ADE and hence severe illness or death among those vaccinated.

The recent imposition of stricter travel restrictions in Britain, Canada and elsewhere, with a view to restricting the spread of new viral strains surely reflects realization, rather late in the day, that pushing population-wide use of untested vaccines for a disease that, in young people, is less lethal than flu, and of unknown efficacy in old people, could be the recipe for a huge covid ADE disaster. Such risk may explain this newspaper headline:

Daily Mail February 2, 2021: SAGE experts 'tried to get No10 to close borders WEEKS ago over South African variant': Boris Johnson is accused of ignoring warnings as surge testing starts in eight postcodes in desperate battle to contain virus strain

which headline might suggest maneuvering by SAGE "experts" (none of whom is a well qualified immunologist) to put the blame on BoJo if their direction of the epidemic response turns out to be a  disaster.

Johnson, of course, invited disaster by haqving a bunch of outsiders to serve in an advisory capacity, people, that is, who will immediately point the finger of blame at him when things go wrong. He should, obviously, have relied on the civil service, which surely not only have, collectively, at least as much intelligence as the weird crew of liars, adulterers, and Covid-lockdown rule breakers he has assembled under the wildly misleading acronym, SAGE, but also the knowledge that to bad-mouth the government will result in severe disciplinary action, up to and including ouster from the cosy and well-paid-for-life world of government service.

Understanding your risk from Covid19

Out there in the quagmire of the Internet Covid controversy, Ron Unz remains insistent on the deadly peril of covid, asserting that:

... research—examining deaths out of the total number of infections, which includes unreported cases—suggests that Covid-19 kills from around 0.3% to 1.5% of people infected. 

Thus stated, without qualification,  covid mortality rates will be taken to refer to the population as a whole, which is an entirely false inference. 

Covid mortality is hugely age-dependent, so infection fatality rates are meaningless as a basis for assessing personal risk.

If you are under 21, your risk is of death from Covid19 is substantially less than the risk of being killed in a motor vehicle accident. If you are over 75, your risk of death from Covid19 is 10% or more. 

There's another factor that massively distorts understanding of the Covid mortality risk, and that is the prevalence of infection among different groups.

A study conducted in UK care homes revealed that as early as April 2020, 40% of investigated care home residents and 21% of staff were Covid19 antibody positive. These rates, which are vastly higher than national rates at the time (almost certainly less than 5%), mean that  UK care homes were death traps for the most vulnerable, and accounted for a large majority of the UK's total Covid death toll. 

Take these facts into consideration and it is evident that talking of population-wide IFRs is either foolish nonsense or deliberate misdirection. 

In Canada, for example, as of October, 2020, 73% of all Covid 19 deaths were of care home residents.  

Covid is not a world-destroying pandemic, but rather, whether launched deliberately or by chance, a mechanism for saving both the UK's bloated National Health Service from collapse under its own monstrous weight, and the profits of the US Healthcare insurers. This it is doing by ridding the world of the most useless and expensive eaters. 

Young people mostly understand all of this, which is why they don't give a bleep about lockdowns and resent the cowardice of school teachers and university faculty who won't show up and teach.
