Once people awaken to vaccine issues, one question emerges: why does the medical field maintain such rigid ideological attachment to vaccination ? This phenomenon reflects three converging factors:

First, human society has always been defined by competing groups vying for status and wealth, and it is a very recent development that doctors have attracted the prestige and salary the profession commands.

International Man: We've seen President Trump issue sharper warnings toward Iran. In your view, are US-Iran tensions headed toward open war, or is it just tough negotiating?

Doug Casey: Trump fancies himself as the world's best negotiator. But the world increasingly sees him as an unpredictable schizophrenic, unguided by reason. No one can tell what he'll do or say next.

An ally for mutual defense has the capabilities to aid in OUR defense. Israel, Ukraine, and NATO don't. They are parasites. No one in the world has the capability to invade us, so having fake allies is a fraud created to benefit the Military-Industrial Complex at the expense of US taxpayers.

We lost every war in the last 80 years, killing 105,000 of our military and millions of others, while destroying entire countries.

Southwest China's powerhouse in Sichuan is in a class by itself when it comes to mega-cities.

At the intersection of two rivers - one of them the mighty Yangtze; surrounded by mountains and actually incrusted on them; the greater area harboring at least 32 million people - and counting; an industrial, scientific and connectivity top hub, electric, dynamic, gastronomically hot as hell, and always displaying serious method amidst apparently unmanageable chaos.

[Perennially relevant to the discourse on climate crisis is this article by F. William Engdahl, first published by GR in September 2019.]

Introductory Note by Michel Chossudovsky

The unspoken truth is that Big Oil funds the campaign against Big Oil. Sounds contradictory?

Climate activists have been lied to.

The Climate Movement (New Green Deal) is funded by major charities and corporate foundations including the National Endowment for Democracy, Soros Open Society Foundations, the Rockefeller Brothers Trust, Shell Foundation, BP, Goldman Sachs, among others.

We just experienced the 60th Super Bowl. It was a lot different from the first one, which I remember watching as a sports obsessed youngster. There were a whole lot more White players on the field 60 years ago. And no halftime show. Not even a White act popular at the time, like Andy Williams. No Kate Smith. No slightly chubby Elvis.

In America 2.0, our Super Bowls feature 80 percent Black players.

Semafor is a rapidly rising new U.S. news-medium that was designed to appeal especially to the top executives at U.S. corporations, and that is achieving it. Consequently, the following statement on February 12th, from its Business Editor, Liz Hoffman, is implicitly an indication that the neoliberal (or as Americans call it "libertarian," meaning that the system is designed to increase the freedom for wealth, and that therefore it decreases the freedom for persons) economic system is now in extreme counterproductive stress:

This leaves out the purpose of money, which is facilitating social organization.

I've thought a lot about "money" and wrote two books that explore what few understand about money: that it's fundamentally a social construct with a social purpose and structure. The books are Money and Work Unchained and A Radically Beneficial World.

The conventional understanding of money is that it's a financial unit with economic functions-store of value, means of exchange and unit of accounting- defined by its intrinsic nature as a material that's valuable or convenient.

Peter joined Michael Simmons on Reality Check last week to explain why the recent drops in gold and silver are exactly the kind of price action investors should welcome. He connects the sell-off to forced liquidations in other markets, walks through decades of Federal Reserve (the Fed) policy mistakes, and warns that continued dollar creation to finance debt makes precious metals a prudent hedge.

Since time immemorial, the history of humankind has been woven with threads of secrets, prophecies, and veiled pacts that seem to defy ordinary understanding. This fascination with the occult is not a recent phenomenon: initiatory societies, encrypted codes, and narratives of behind-the-scenes powers have accompanied the evolution of civilizations, fueling both intellectual curiosity and collective fear of what lies beyond public control.

Engagée dans une guerre technologique et informationnelle, la Russie impose désormais des restrictions progressives à Telegram. Officiellement juridiques, ces mesures posent une question stratégique centrale : comment concilier contrôle normatif et efficacité opérationnelle, dans un conflit où la vitesse de circulation de l'information conditionne l'avantage tactique ?

En 2024, lors d'une interview, Vladimir Poutine a déclaré que les élites occidentales "ont l'habitude, depuis des siècles, de se remplir la panse de chair humaine et les poches d'argent", mais qu'elles "doivent comprendre que le bal des vampires touche à sa fin". Beaucoup à l'époque avaient pris cette déclaration à la légère, au sens figuré, tant l'expression utilisée semblait trop terrifiante pour être vraie.

Le grand Satan sur terre Israël cherche à bombarder l'Iran de nouveau.

Depuis l'offensive du Hamas qui a déclenché la guerre, Washington a fourni à Israël entre 16 et 22 milliards de dollars d'aide militaire, en plus de 3,8 milliards de dollars annuels d'aide à la défense fixe, renforçant ainsi la force de l'alliance militaire entre les deux pays. Mais cette forte dépendance au soutien extérieur a suscité des inquiétudes au sein d'Israël quant à ses conséquences, notamment sur le niveau de levier qu'il accorde à Washington sur les priorités de dépenses militaires israéliennes.

Les nouvelles visites d'émissaires américains à Tripoli et Benghazi ne sont pas une tentative de paix, mais un partage cynique du butin au chevet d'un pays jadis prospère, que les États-Unis eux-mêmes ont condamné à mort.

Les récentes visites de Massad Boulos, conseiller du président américain Donald Trump pour le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique, à Tripoli et Benghazi, ont suscité des débats intenses dans les médias mondiaux.

"Les Français paient trop d'impôts pour rien". Environ 80 % des Français jugent le niveau des impôts trop élevé, et 60 % estiment en payer eux-mêmes bien trop. Et quand on voit l'état des services publics, il y a de quoi se demander : où est passé l'argent ? Dans cette chronique, on va faire l'autopsie complète du fonctionnement de nos impôts, et vous montrer en graphiques et en chiffres ce que tout le monde devrait savoir.

Australian authorities were fully aware that inviting Israel's president for a visit was going to ignite unrest and furious opposition. They invited him anyway, and sent in the police to assault the protesters.
