These morbid humans are hiding like cowards behind algorithms. Cowards with no substance.
I think Caitlin is one of the best commentators in the world right now. She says what we all think inside artfully without being banned. I definitely could learn from her as my Latin temper gets me in trouble with the monsters of the media constantly.

We are being lied to. Constantly, and in more ways than we realize. By omission, by distortion, by half-truths and by outright deception. Our minds are being actively messed with by powerful people with limitless resources to ensure their continued domination of the planet at any cost. Our very perception of reality is being assaulted on myriad fronts. Until humanity finds a way to wake itself up from its propaganda-induced coma, the abuses of the powerful will continue.

The Weird, Creepy Media Blackout On Recent Assange Revelations
Caitlin Johnstone
June 29, 2021
Listen to a reading of this article:
As of this writing, it has been three days since the Icelandic newspaper Stundin broke the story that a key witness in the US government’s case against Julian Assange had fabricated allegations against the WikiLeaks founder. And yet, somehow, Assange is still in prison.
Weirder still, not one major western media outlet outside of Iceland has reported on this massive and entirely legitimate news story. A search brings up coverage by Icelandic media, by Russian media, and by smaller western outlets like Democracy Now, World Socialist Website, Consortium News, Zero Hedge and some others, but as of this writing this story has been completely ignored by all major outlets who are ostensibly responsible for informing the public in the western world.
It’s not that those outlets have been ignoring Assange altogether these last few days either. Reuters recently published an interview with Assange’s fiance Stella Moris. Evening Standard has a recent article out on Assange’s plans to marry Moris in Belmarsh, as does Deutsche Welle. It’s just this one story in particular that they’ve been blacking out completely.
And it’s not that the mainstream press are unaware of this story. Mainstream western reporters spend a lot of time on Twitter, and Assange’s name was trending in the United States after the Stundin story broke. Tweets about the article by high-profile accounts like WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden have many thousands of shares each. They’ve all seen the article. They all know it’s newsworthy. They’re just choosing not to report on it.
It reminds me of the blanket media blackout that occurred while the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was hemorrhaging leaks revealing a US government-tied coverup in the alleged chlorine gas incident in Douma, Syria. Immensely newsworthy stories were breaking every few days on a major international scandal, yet not a peep was made about it by the mainstream press.
We got some insight into what happens in mainstream newsrooms during such bizarre circumstances when journalist Tareq Haddad leaked the emails from his editors at Newsweek refusing him permission to write about the unfolding OPCW scandal. Haddad’s pitch was rejected by editor Dimi Reider on the basis that other bigger outlets hadn’t written about it.
“Leak has been out since weekend,” Reider wrote. “It’s certainly no scoop. Yet despite the days that passed, not a single respected media outlet – many of whom boast far greater regional expertise, resources on the ground and in newsroom than Newsweek does – have taken the leak remotely seriously. Which already yesterday made my wonder how we could or why we should.”
Reider was supported by Newsweek‘s digital director Laura Davis, who told Haddad his pitch was being rejected because “the leak found zero to no traction among publications which are highly resourced and experienced on Syria.”
And that’s just pretty darn convenient for the powerful, is it not? Assuming other mainstream news outlets feel the same, this means they’re all generally following the lead of just a handful of top-tier publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian. If just those few outlets decide to ignore a major news story that’s inconvenient for the powerful (either by persuasion, infiltration or by their own initiative), then no one else will either. As far as the media-consuming public is concerned, it’s like the major news story never happened at all. And that’s really, really creepy.
Western mass media outlets are propaganda. They are owned and controlled by wealthy people in coordination with the secretive government agencies tasked with preserving the world order upon which the media-owning plutocrats have built their kingdoms, and their purpose is to manipulate the way the mainstream public thinks, acts and votes into alignment with the agendas of the ruling class.
You see this propaganda in the way things are reported, but you also see it in the way things are not reported. Entire news stories can be completely redacted from mainstream attention if they are sufficiently inconvenient for the mechanisms of empire, or only allowed in via platforms like Tucker Carlson Tonight and thereby tainted and spun as ridiculous right-wing conspiracy theories.
If newsworthiness and significance were what governed mainstream news media reporting, instead of the agendas of profit and power, we’d constantly be hearing about the people dying in Yemen and the brutal income inequality in the United States. And the fact that the most powerful government in the world is persecuting a journalist for telling the truth would be at the forefront of everyone’s awareness, instead of the mountain of smears they have heaped upon Julian Assange.
I sometimes get people telling me that some news stories are meant to “distract” us from other, bigger news stories, like this is something the imperial narrative managers do especially on some occasions but not all the time. In reality, distraction is never not happening, because every single day the plutocratic media pull people’s attention away from the pressing issues of the moment like ecocide, poverty, oppression and mass military slaughter to get them talking about Cardi B’s baby bump and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest doofy publicity stunt.
We are being lied to. Constantly, and in more ways than we realize. By omission, by distortion, by half-truths and by outright deception. Our minds are being actively messed with by powerful people with limitless resources to ensure their continued domination of the planet at any cost. Our very perception of reality is being assaulted on myriad fronts. Until humanity finds a way to wake itself up from its propaganda-induced coma, the abuses of the powerful will continue.
Geopolitics of the immoral pandemic

By Marcello Ferrada de Noli, Swedish professor emeritus of epidemiology, former research fellow at Harvard Medical School, and chief-editor of The Indicter.If leaders truly wanted the best outcomes for their people, they would not stick with their selfish and irresponsible behaviour that favours geopolitical aims, and Big Pharma’s profits, over the health of their citizens.
It is said that Nikita Khruschev once stated, “The survivors would envy the dead.” He was not referring to pandemics, but to nuclear war, however still there exists a clear geopolitical vector linking those two phenomena and its potential aftermath – the Cold War.
My contention is that the discriminatory approach of institutions like the EU’s European Medicines Agency (EMA) – and, in general, that of Western governments – towards the scientific advances of Russia’s Covid-19 vaccines, represents not only a catastrophic mistake in dealing with this pandemic in their own countries, but also in poorer countries in their sphere of influence. It is short-sighted, unintelligent, and irresponsible behaviour that ultimately – unless it is corrected – might bring about implosive societal destruction.
In a strict epidemiologic sense, the pandemic is about a distribution of an infection in the population. But the scope of this distribution, and the ensuing morbidity and mortality rates, is not determined solely by the infective potency of the virus. It has to do with the measures that governments and public-health authorities decide to implement and prioritize. Like in Sweden, where the number-one priority was the economy, above the health and life prospects of the senior population. In Britain, elderly patients with Covid were sent back into care homes to infect others. By such decisions, thousands of unnecessary deaths occured. Much of the so-called mitigation strategies carried out by Western governments and authorities have been taken to primarily serve their geopolitical interests and the profits of Big Pharma.
Their unjustified neglect of the Russian-created Sputnik V has deprived vast populations, in Europe and elsewhere, of a vaccine in time. That was done at a time when no other vaccine was available, or when the supply of Western-produced vaccines was halted or drastically diminished – as it was with AstraZeneca and Pfizer. It was not done on medical grounds – after all, Sputnik V was the first Covid-19 vaccine created and approved in the scientific community, with its efficacy and safety peer reviewed in The Lancet. No, it was discrimination on political grounds.
It was not based on science, nor an epidemiological evaluation of statistics. It was based on ego and greed, and sold to the public under the disguise of neo-Cold War narratives, “sanctions,” and xenophobic, anti-Russian sentiment.
In fact, this vaccine war is concomitantly used as propaganda by the Western powers to reinforce NATO positions that are increasingly aimed at strangling the natural frontiers of Russia, for instance, from the Baltic flank.
Epidemiologically, it is also bizarre that the WHO, listing the risk factors associated with the coronavirus infection, only names old age and “and those with underlying medical problems.” The fatality rate of the virus is also determined by socio-economic factors – people with alimentary deficits, bad nutrition, poor hygiene, etc., are more at risk. This is all exacerbated by rising basic-food prices in the world’s poorer countries.
Had Sputnik V been approved by the WHO and EMA early on, vaccinations would have increased around the world, and the disasters we’ve seen ravage many countries would not have taken place. It’s curious how EMA decisions regarding vaccine approvals and such like have invariably mimicked decisions taken by the US days before. The EMA is just an organ of the European Union, and the EU cupola is the political organ of NATO for Europe.
“Cold war” and Covid-19 pandemic
Pandemics are not only a virologic occurrence. They are also a societal phenomenon. Viruses existed for 3.5 billion years before we evolved into humans, and their integration of their genetic material into human DNA has been going on for millions of years – they comprise around 10% of modern human genome.
It is not simply the emergence of a new virus strain that makes an infection endemic or pandemic. That is also governed by the response that societies make against its propagation.
The Cold War was a ‘detente’, which also partially halted the indiscriminate and voracious interventions of Western powers in poor countries, which are seldom helped by direct military invasions. These times also saw liberation movements flourish across the world: anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, and revolutionary groups that sought to abolish inequalities and create a common destiny.
Many of those endeavours succeeded in establishing democratic advances under the shadow of the Cold War. That generated the universalisation of solidarity principles, a collective respect of human rights, a sense that all are born equal and all on Earth are subjects of the same care (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved in December 1948). Subsequently, new public health institutions, already established in socialist societies, proliferated across the Western countries.
The Cold War, of course, grew out of the disaster of the Second World War. A disaster converted into victory, thanks, fundamentally, to the sacrifices of the former Soviet Union, where 26.6 millions of its citizens died, both military and civilian. It has become politically fashionable to refer to the Soviet times with disdain, but that ignores those Soviet citizens who perished to secure the survival of the Western elites’ democracies.
During the decades following WWII, the presence of the Soviet Union, and the “threat” of revolution felt by the ruling classes in the West, compelled those elites to negotiate with the popular and working-class movements. They did not compromise because of generosity; they did not give away some of their privileges out of moral solidarity. No. It was done out of fear. So amid all this there were many socio-economic advances that benefited the poorer classes. The same segments of society which now have in many countries of the West been converted into incipient lower middle-class consumers.
The geopolitical pandemic that is shaking the world did not begin with the debut of Covid-19 in November 2019. Instead, it began 30 years ago – in November 1989. In other words, with the ‘fall of the Berlin Wall’.
That occurrence, for the vast majority of Western analysts, marked not only ‘the fall of the Soviet Union’, but the burial of socialism as a system. Although I believe they may be wrong in this analysis in the long run, it is true that during and after that date, we have observed a frenzied resurgence of individualism. This has been sheltered in neoliberal economies and the remodelling of societies towards paradigms of anti-social solidarity.
Our current Cold War, if it is not possible to drastically change its current ethical temperature, will end up freezing the hopes of survival for all humanity.
The current Covid-19 vaccine crisis in a geopolitical context
It is in the above context in which we should place the understanding of the current Covid-19 vaccine crisis.
This crisis consists of a) people’s reluctance to receive the vaccine; b) an increased need for booster vaccines; c) problems in the production and distribution of the vaccine; d) scarcity of vaccines for the vast majority of the world’s population. For reasons of space, I will address here only the first of the above-named items. I have covered the others in previous articles.
Reluctance to receive the vaccine is only partly rooted in lack of sufficient information given to the public. It has also to do with two other potent factors. One is an at-times-inappropriate fear regarding the vaccine’s secondary effects. The other, related to the discussion above, is the individualistic, non-social-oriented behaviour exercised by important sectors of the population, particularly the young.
The cause of this is the neoliberal cultural phenomenon that has flourished alongside the unbalanced economic neoliberalism that was born out of the demolished bricks of the Berlin Wall – when socialist ideas of solidarity began to be obscured by the emergent consumer societies, and where everything was left to be determined by the so-called free market. A ‘market’ which is largely monopolised and about as “free” as the control social media giants have on the privacy of citizens today. During this period, countries like Sweden – previously known for its developed welfare state – started to dismount service after service.
In the immediate aftermath of WWII, the experience led people naturally to understand the impact of solidarity in reconstruction and wellbeing. Had there been such a virus crisis then, the call for a collective vaccination would have immediately been seen as a necessary step to preserve the health of the entire population. It is not so nowadays. I have heard young and middle-aged people seriously arguing, “Let other fools take the risk, and we’ll survive thanks to that,” (i.e. let’s achieve the herd immunity of 75% at the cost of those others ‘taking the risk’ of having the vaccine).
It is basically the same cohort of selfish people who, as long as they can, would disregard protective measures that benefit the public health of all. They are the people pretty much responsible – together with weak and incompetent public health authorities – for the new waves of the virus that we’ve suffered.
What and who is responsible for this self-centrism that we’ve seen in the first decades of this century? Western societies have fomented it on the pretence of it being a solid trademark of ‘democracy’ against ‘socialism’. But egoistic individualism is killing ‘democratic society’, or at least the poorest and most vulnerable members of it. Killed by the weapon of vaccine reluctance. There is a proverb in Spanish which says, “Raise crows and they will take out your eyes” (“cria cuervos y te comeran los ojos”).
Booster vaccines
We are seeing all this play out again with Covid-19 booster vaccines designed to help tackle the emerging of new virus strains – such as the new-named Delta virus (formerly “the Indian variant”).
On this new front of the battle against the pandemic, the Sputnik developers at the Gamaleya Institute say they will soon be able to offer a new booster vaccine shot against this Delta variant, which, uniquely, can be administered as a booster to other vaccine brands.
Unsurprisingly, this development has also been unfairly neglected by Western powers and their media.
I first thought that the title for this article should be “Geopolitics of the immoral pandemic.” The scale of the tragedy shaking the world today has multiple causes. It’s shaped by the healthiness of a country’s economy and of its inhabitants, of their industrial and environmental landscapes, of the mitigation measures put in place – but, above all, by their ethics.
This pandemic, at least in Europe, has shown that ‘human rights for all’ may be a concept that’s becoming extinct. The truth is we have rights for only a few – for the greedy owners of the giant pharmaceutical corporations, for the West’s selfish and one-eyed political leaders, and for those in charge of the world’s medical agencies.
June 29, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A new high-quality documentary exposes multiple levels of scientific falsehoods behind so-called mitigation measures for COVID-19.
Produced by Catholic apologist Mark Mallett, a blogger at Countdown to the Kingdom, the title of the documentary is Following the Science? According to the written introduction, “Everyone from clergy to politicians have repeatedly said we must ‘follow the science.’ But have lockdowns, PCR testing, social distancing, masking, and ‘vaccination’ actually been following the science?
The film provides information on these serious topics in an engaging and sometimes even fun and humorous way, to provide the viewer with some levity. It continually “cites renowned immunologists, virologists, microbiologists and others who are experts in the treatment and care of individuals,” as Mallett explains, indicating that the path our governments have put us on “may not be ‘following the science’ at all … but a path to unspeakable sorrows.”
Rumble — Everyone from clergy to politicians have repeatedly said we must “follow the science”. But have lockdowns, social distancing, masking, testing, and vaccination actually been following the science? In this powerful documentary, you’ll hear renowned scientists explain how the path we’re on may not be “following the science” at all…

You just can’t make this up anymore. The mainstream media is literally trying to convince people that even though most “COVID-19” deaths are those who have been fully “vaccinated,” that just means the “vaccine” is “effective and imperfect.”
Wait, so if most people who die of COVID-19 are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, how in the world is that “effective” on any level? The puppets in the media actually expect us to believe this nonsense. The less sense it makes, and the worse the news about this “vaccine,” which is actually an experimental gene therapy, the more they seem to push the shot.
COVID-19 mRNA Shots Are Legally Not Vaccines
According to a Guardian article, the “vaccine” is “effective and imperfect.” Does anyone see any contradiction in those two words? Call me crazy, but if it’s effective, wouldn’t it be stopping people from getting COVID-19? If the “vaccine” is “effective,” then how can it be imperfect? If it’s “imperfect,” how can it be effective? The rulers are probably just sitting in their mansions laughing at the ridiculous propaganda they can get all of the slaves to believe.
Here’s the headline:
Why Most People Who Now Die With Covid in England Have Been Vaccinated
Here’s the first line:
Don’t think of this as a bad sign, it’s exactly what’s expected from an effective but imperfect jab. – Guardian
So getting sick and dying of the very infection the “vaccine” is supposed to protect you against means it’s working? The fact that the vaccine doesn’t work means it’s working. Got it. Thanks for the clarification, MSM. But it gets better. They say the “vaccine” is “effective” which means if it’s a vaccine it will prevent the COVID-19 infection and transmission to a “vaccinated” person. But those are the ones dying because others have “limited coverage,” meaning they haven’t taken this shot:
The Public Health England report also reveals that nearly a third of deaths from the Delta variant are of unvaccinated people over 50, which may be surprising given high vaccine coverage; for example, OpenSAFELY estimates more than 93% among the 65-69s. But there are lower rates in deprived areas and for some ethnicities and communities with limited coverage will continue to experience more than their fair share of loss. – Guardian
The PHE’s technical briefing on June 25th shows that the percentage of people who have died from the “dealt variant” of COVID-19 had risen to 43% (50 of 117), with the majority (60%) having received at least one dose. That right there, in their own statistics should show enough people what a hoax this scamdemic is and what a joke the “vaccine” has become. But perhaps they read this book just like Bill Gates:

Stay alert and prepared. This “vaccine” propaganda isn’t going to stop, in fact, it is likely to speed up as they run out of willing guinea pigs. Know what’s going on, ask the questions, and as always, continue to use your critical thinking and discernment. Don’t just believe me or anyone else, especially right now. Really look at what’s going on and follow the links. They are provided for a reason.
Here’s my big question:
More COIVD-19 Vax Deaths: Think They’ll Blame This On COVID-21?
The truth is I don’t know but censoring this is not the way of science.
![Image: Mortality rate from Delta variant eight times higher in “fully vaccinated” individuals](https://www.naturalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/91/2021/06/Covid-19-Coronavirus-Virus-Concept.jpg)
https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-06-29-mortality-delta-variant-eight-times-higher-vaccinated.html
by: Ethan Huff
June 29, 2021
The latest claim is that the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “Delta” variant is “spreading like wildfire,” and the most affected by it are those who were already injected with “vaccines.”
According to the latest data, people who took a Wuhan Flu shot or two are up to eight times more likely to test “positive” or have to be hospitalized.
A preliminary statistical analysis found that hospitalization rates and absolute mortality due to the Delta variant are substantially higher among the “vaccinated” compared to the unvaccinated.
The figures show that among patients who test positive for the Delta variant, the mortality rate for those who are “fully vaccinated,” meaning they received both doses of an mRNA injection, is nearly eight times higher.
This corresponds to similar research from Public Health England which determined that vaccinated people are 600 percent more likely to die from Delta than unvaccinated people.
In England, it is now clearly seen in the data that those who have been injected are responsible for the spread of Delta. And the more people that get vaccinated, the more Delta is spreading.
“The delta variant infection rate of people who received at least [one] dose of vaccine is lower than that of fully vaccinated people while higher than that of unvaccinated people,” reports Gnews.
Science: Get vaccinated and you’re more likely to die
At best, getting injected will lead to the same outcome as not getting injected. At worst – and this is what the data suggests – you are more likely to die if you get stabbed for the Chinese Virus.
So why even do it at all? Many people would probably say that they just want to “do their part,” but what part is that? The dying part? Because the only people who seem to be getting violently ill after exposure to Delta or any other alleged variant are people who obeyed the government and got injected.
“It makes you wonder why the politicians are still pushing everyone to get vaccinated, considering the chance of death is not too different anyway,” is how Gnews puts it.
“Also, it’s worth mentioning that compared with hospitalization rate and infection rate, mortality rate is considered more accurate because for infection data, a person may choose not to get tested and there might be false positive or false negative for test results. And for hospitalization data, a person may choose not to go to the hospital and just stay at home. However, it is impossible to choose not to die for anybody, that’s why mortality data are usually more accurate.”
As time goes on, it becomes increasingly clearer that getting injected is just plain stupid. The shots admittedly do not prevent infection, nor do they prevent the spread, so what good are they?
The only claim the medical establishment is making with regard to the injections is that they might lower a person’s risk of becoming seriously ill and requiring hospitalization after testing positive. The latest data, however, shows that even this is false.
“[T]his analysis at least suggested that UK government might have cherry-picked the results that fits the ‘take the vaccine’ narrative and chose not to report the whole picture in the article mentioned on their news report,” Gnews concludes.
“And this analysis also shows that the mortality rate (usually the most accurate metric compared with hospitalization and infection) for vaccinated people who have contracted delta variant CCP virus is very troubling, and might need further related investigation such as potential ADE effect.”
