Google Gemini Concluded that Videos of the US Boat Strikes were AI Generated. With No Dead Bodies, Destroyed Boats, Funerals or Witnesses, the Only Proof that Strikes Occurred is that Trump Said So

In the video above a media hoaxed French probot attempts to fact check Google Gemini’s claim that Trump’s boat strikes were AI generated. Naturally, she attacks Google Gemini and not the substance of its claim. Ironically, the boat strikes are based on the unverified and uncorroborated hearsay claims of Mr. Trump and his authorities. Without any independent investigation, massa media merely parrots Trump’s claims - thereafter, various pundits discuss said unchallenged premise as if it were true. In other words, authority and the media would have us believe that the strikes have occurred simply because Trump said so. However, there is no reason to presume anything Globocop says is true because he is known to tell unsophisticated lies. At any rate, for what reasons is the proxymoron above seeking proof of a non-occurrence instead of showing us facts which demonstrate that the strike occurred? What is belief and do you suffer from it?

Besides the video, which looks like a 80’s video game, massa media and authority have not presented any tangible evidence of boats being destroyed, such as damaged boats, dead bodies, funerals, witnesses, drugs or other contraband, etc. Also, if the 2 lone survivors of the several attacks were terrorist/drug dealers who the US intended to kill, then why did US authorities promptly release them without any charges? If they were so imminently dangerous to the nation then for what reason were they not also summarily “executed” upon capture or detained without charges as enemies of the state? [MORE]

Venezuelans, who should be reasonably angered about the ongoing random murder spree, appear to have had no reaction to the boat strikes in the many public gatherings since the strikes began. You would also assume that Venezuela authorities would use the boat murders against Tump/Bush to its moral advantage on the international stage. However, Freddy Ñáñez, the Venezuelan communications minister, stated that the footage of the attack was fake. [MORE] and Diosdado Cabello, Venezuela's Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace, characterized the strike as "fake news" "invented" by the US as a cover for regime change and President Maduro has ignored the strikes altogether making no mention of them in his various speeches.

Due to the contrived nature of the videos, the high liarability of the “dependent media” and Mr. Trump and the lack of corroboratable and verifiable physical and circumstantial evidence, the boat strikes should be presumed to be a false flag, IQ test or a psy-op until proven otherwise or rebutted.

Probot – a propagandizing programmed robot. A representative from an organization, agency or institution, especially the Internal Revenue Service, Pentagon, State Department, or Blight House, whose assignment is to make prepared statements and answer “cooked” (prepared) questions at news conferences, briefings and the like. A probot is a proxymoron who conveys programmed disinformation in computerized language and bureaucratese jargon. A probot is one who disseminates lies, distortions and convenient mass truths composed by a superior overruling elite. (See: Proxymoron)

believer – one who accepts that which has no basis in reality and unwilling to question or test it. 2) a person who revels in or enjoys being self-deceived. A believer does not seek—just accepts theologies and/or ideologies. 3) one who is addicted to vanity and/or chained to convention with conviction. 4) one who lives in a cloud of illusions, confounded by language and its deceptions. Believers are people who make their lives subjective slaves to a mere belief—engineered my limited and fragmented understanding and fostered by erroneous conclusions based solely on effects and appearances. A true believer would rather believe in something and be wrong than not believe in it and be right. A believer is never a spiritual person, and a spiritual person is never a believer. A spiritual person knows not; a religious person think she knows; a believer only (merely) believes. Unbelievably, a believer elevates the very notion of belief to a higher value than fact or knowing. Belief and believer are one. The condition is thought or belief in form; the two are actually one. Regardless of the particular belief held, it is belief itself which gives the sustaining power to thought. “It is done to you as you believe.” ~Jesus (of Biblical Lore). Keep believing and it will continue being done to you. All belief is still an act of consciousness, hence it can be reduced to a state of thought. The Law of Belief creates its own law which is changed only by reversing or dispersing the belief. “Believe not every spirit”: refers to the psychic confusion of beliefs. You see, subjective forms are not always what they seem or claim to be.

[media distracts] Trump's Alleged Extrajudicial Murders of Humans Aboard Boats in the Caribbean are as Unlawful and Barbaric as Blowing Up Humans Sitting on Park Benches b/c Drugs are Sold in the Park

THERE IS NO ARMED CONFLICT, SO “THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT” WOULD NOT APPLY. IF THEse KILLINGS actually occuRred they are simply MURDERS. Based on the fact that the US military killed persons from another country and the incidents happened outside of the US, international law applies.

The analysis is straightforward: WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WAS there an armed conflict between the United States and VENEZUELA? The answer is no. So it means that the international human rights law standard is applicable. According to said standard the use of lethal force against an individual must be “absolutely necessary.”

An international court would determine whether EACH individual(s) in the boat(s) posed a “concrete, specific, and imminent threat to life and physical safety,” and whether the United States MILITARY could have reasonably used nonlethal force to address that threat. 

From [HERE] 'When it comes to President Trump’s and the Pentagon’s extra-judicial drug-war killings in the Caribbean, there is little or no doubt that the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice falls into the second category. Asked to provide a legal opinion as to the legality of President Trump’s and the Pentagon’s extra-judicial drug-war killings in the Caribbean the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice has come up with a memorandum containing inane legal justifications, in an obvious effort to provide legal cover for the people involved in the extrajudicial killings. In fact, the still-secret memo expressly assures U.S. military personnel that they will not face future criminal prosecution for their involvement in the killings.

The memo states that the high number of deaths from drug use among American drug consumers constitutes an “armed attack” against the United States. Really? Where are the armaments? Are Latin American drug dealers entering the United States, kidnapping regular American citizens, physically holding them down, and then injecting drugs into their noses, mouths, or other parts of their bodies?

I don’t think so. There is certainly no evidence of that. All of the evidence is that American consumers of drugs are voluntarily buying and ingesting mind-altering substances knowing full well that this isn’t a risk-free endeavor.

Another part of the memo claims that the boats that are suspected of carrying drugs are generating revenue for groups that are supposedly in armed conflict with the United States.

Really? Where are the conflicts? I don’t see any Latin American cartels landing on American shores and killing American citizens. Indeed, I haven’t seen those boats firing at American Naval vessels or at American B-52s. All I’ve seen is massacres of defenseless private individuals in the face of overwhelming U.S. military power.

According to the Intercept: “One senior defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, blasted the opinion. ‘I don’t know what’s more insane – that the ‘President of Peace’ is starting an illegal war or that he’s giving a get out of jail free card to the U.S. military,’ said the official, referencing President Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed moniker. ‘Hopefully they realize there’s no immunity for war crimes. Nor is there a statute of limitations.’”

One of the other justifications on which Trump and the Pentagon are relying is their claim that these boat people are “terrorists.” Apparently that governmental accusation means that they are subject to being exterminated without arrest, indictment, prosecution, conviction, and sentence — that is, without any due process of law for what amounts to an accusation of a criminal-law violation, whether it is drug-war-related or terrorist-related.

For some time, Trump has been claiming that Venezuela immigrants have been “invading” the United States. I guess we should be thankful that the Office of Legal Counsel hasn’t yet opined that the U.S. is repelling an immigrant “invasion” of the United States by killing people in those boats.

One of the most fascinating and revealing aspects of these extra-judicial killings is when U.S. forces took custody of two targeted people who survived the attack on their vessel. What happened afterward reveals what a sham these drug-war killings are. U.S. officials released both men back to their home countries.

What? Yes, they took two supposed “narco-terrorists” into custody and then released them, which means that they are now free to engage in more “narco activity” and more “terrorism.” Does that make any sense whatsoever?

The real interesting question is: When they saw that those men had survived the military attack on their vessel, why didn’t U.S. military personnel simply fire missiles at them or just shoot them while they were bobbing in the water? After all, they had just tried to kill them inside their boat. What’s the difference with killing them outside their boat? [MORE]

US Designates a Non-Existent Cartel as a ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization’ to Justify its Pending Venezuela Oil Grab [group has no meaningful existence, like "Antifa"]

The US State Department on Monday formally designated the Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, a group that doesn’t actually exist, as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization,” providing a pretext for a potential attack on Venezuela.

The term “Cartel of the Suns” was first used in the 1990s to describe two Venezuelan military generals with sun insignias on their uniforms who were involved in cocaine trafficking. According to a 60 Minutes report that aired in 1993, one of the generals was working with the CIA at the time.

Today, the term is used to describe a loose network of Venezuelan military and government officials allegedly involved in drug trafficking, but the Cartel of the Suns doesn’t actually exist as a structured organization.

According to InSight Crime, a think tank that receives grants from the State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, recent US sanctions mischaracterized the Cartel of the Suns, which InSight described as “a system of corruption wherein military and political officials profit by working with drug traffickers.”

Despite the reality, the US is now calling the Cartel of the Suns a terrorist organization and claims that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is its leader, a push being led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has long sought regime change in Caracas. [MORE]

Despite [WAR] White Authoritarian Rhetoric from Trump, Air Connections between Russia and Venezuela Remain Operational

The ambassador of the Russian Federation to Venezuela, Sergei Melik-Bagdasarov, announced via his social media that flights between the Eurasian nation and Venezuela continue to operate.

“I am pleased to inform you of my return to Venezuela. Taking advantage of the recently inaugurated regular flight from St. Petersburg (the heroic city of Leningrad), I have returned to the homeland of Bolívar, Chávez, and Maduro,” the diplomat stated.

The ambassador highlighted that together with the Venezuelan delegation, the 19th meeting of the High-Level Intergovernmental Commission was held in Russia, in which important documents were signed aimed at strengthening and further developing the strategic partnership between both countries, in the name of peace and progress.

Mélik-Bagdasárov further emphasizes the significance of the date: “Today is December 1st. Here in blessed Venezuela, which recently welcomed its Catholic patron saints for the first time in its history, December is the path to Christmas: a celebration that unites loved ones, a celebration of love and peace.” [MORE]

The Exact Numbers of Palestinians Murdered by IsrAlien Soldiers Regularly Parroted by Master's Media are "Mythematics-" unfounded, empirically invalid conclusions for political motives or mind control

From [HERE] and [MORE] In his latest podcast with journalist and political activist Owen Jones, University of Bradford Emeritus Professor Paul Rogers says the bombing in Gaza is worse than the Allied carpet bombing of Dresden, Germany during the Second World War. 

 Professor Rogers, author of the best-selling Losing Control (Pluto Press) and most recently Monstrous Anger of the Guns (Pluto Press) and The Insecurity Trap (Hawthorn Press), cites a Scientists for Global Security report that uses official statistics to estimate the tonnage of bombs dropped on Gaza. 

In the interview – which has already gained 38,000 views on YouTube – Professor Rogers describes the level of destruction in Gaza as “unparalleled in the post Second World War World era.” 

 He goes on: “If you look at the total tonnage of weapons dropped, mainly bombs but missiles and tens of thousands of artillery shells, you get a total of something like 70,000 tonnes of explosives. 

 “Back in the Cold War days, we used to say a kilotonne is equivalent to a thousand tonnes of TNT. We are now using explosives that are much more powerful than TNT. But if we do use that figure – 70 kilotonnes of weapons dropped across Gaza – Hiroshima was about 12 kilotonnes, so we are talking about the equivalent of six Hiroshimas... but because these bombs drop individually, they are spread much more, so you get an extraordinary level of devastation. It’s certainly more than Dresden, certainly more than the other 2,000 bomber raids in the Second World War. 

 “This is about as bad as it [gets] outside the Second World War. Very few people realise just how intense this has been, and how continual. We’ve not seen much of it on the television here, compared to channels in the Middle East, which means right across the Arab world, the degree of anger – and, I have to say, hatred - of what is happening, is palpable." [MORE]

The Trump administration is the Netanyahu administration

From [HERE] However, since US President Donald Trump has taken office, he has not attempted to pursue a strategic policy agenda. Instead, he has followed his Israeli handlers around like a little puppy dog, bowing to their every wish.

Trump’s administration had worked alongside the Israelis to supervise a three-month-long siege on the population of Gaza, where no aid entered the territory and triggering a famine. He then used US taxpayer dollars to fund a privatised aid scheme, which functioned as a death trap that took the lives of around 2,600 Palestinian civilians.

He launched an embarrassing failure of a military campaign against Yemen, directly striking Iran after using diplomacy to lower its guard to an Israeli attack. The Trump administration has stationed more forces inside Syria, taking over two air bases there, while pushing for an Israeli-Syrian normalisation “security deal” and using American power in an attempt to disarm both Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Hashd al-Shaabi in Iraq.

Trump’s regime most recently bullied the UN’s Security Council into quickly accepting the most disgraceful resolution of the Palestine issue, authorising a regime change operation. He has stationed US boots on the ground, oversees daily Israeli war crimes that violate the Gaza ceasefire, and is attempting to follow through on his pledge from February to “own Gaza”.

Domestically, from day one, he pursued the implementation of ‘Project Esther’, a document published by the Heritage Foundation think-tank, that seeks to dismantle free speech about Israeli crimes in the United States. He also accelerated the worst crackdown on American academic freedom in US history.

Now he pivots to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a "terrorist organisation" at the behest of Israeli lobbying efforts, allowing for this designation to grant greater powers for a crackdown on pro-Palestinian non-profit groups, by claiming they are affiliated with a "terrorist organisation".

Barbaric Israeli Authorities Accused of Harvesting Body Parts of Murdered Palestinians in Zionist Organ Trafficking Conspiracy

In early October, Israeli-Ukrainian Boris Wolfman was arrested in Russia. He is charged with masterminding a criminal organ trafficking scheme. His capture, wholly ignored by the Western media, raises the prospect that at long last, some justice will be served in a number of major organ trafficking scandals, dating back many years. Wolfman’s apprehension also highlights Tel Aviv’s little-scrutinised role as the world’s centre of illegal organ harvesting and trafficking. Grimly, the Gaza genocide may have greatly facilitated this perverse commerce.

Ever since October 7th, credible allegations have widely circulated that Zionist Occupation Forces are illegally harvesting the organs of slain Palestinians. In November 2023, the Euro-Med Monitor published a report documenting how Israeli soldiers confiscated dozens of corpses from major hospitals in Gaza, to the extent of digging up and raiding mass graves built in their grounds to accommodate the never-ending influx of slaughtered civilians. While some bodies were subsequently handed over to the Red Cross, many were and remain withheld.

Euro-Med Monitor records how many corpses exhibited clear indications of organ harvesting, including missing cochleas and corneas, as well as hearts, kidneys, and livers. Since then, the Zionist entity has released token numbers of murdered Palestinians at intermittent intervals to their surviving relatives. Frequently, the bodies are decomposed beyond recognition, making conducting professional autopsies - and identifying whether organs have been stolen - difficult if not impossible. Sometimes, the corpses are frozen solid, again greatly complicating medical examinations, and potentially obscuring organ theft.

The 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention mandates respect for the dignity of dead civilians, and explicitly prohibits the looting or mutilation of their bodies during wartime. However, the Zionist entity has not only failed to ratify the treaty, but expressly rejects its applicability to Gaza and the illegally-occupied West Bank. Moreover, repulsive local laws and legal precedents unique to Tel Aviv grant authorities the power to refuse to release dead Palestinians to their families. [MORE]

Was the COVID Plandemic Always a CIA Plot?

From [HERE] According to newly released emails, the United States Intelligence Community, led by the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, held regular meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric, one of America’s leading coronavirus experts, since at least 2015. 

Senator Rand Paul’s office has worked for years to obtain the documents. 

Baric has been accused of engineering the Covid-19 virus in his lab at the University of North Carolina, but he has never had to testify about his role in the pandemic despite his well-documented collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 

The newly released emails reveal that the CIA hoped to discuss “Coronavirus evolution and possible natural human adaptation with Baric” and that Baric held quarterly meetings with members of the Intelligence Community. 

These emails are just the latest additions to the suspicious amalgamation of facts implicating the US Intelligence Community’s role in the origins of the pandemic, as discussed in The Covid Response at Five Years.

A very brief overview of the timeline suggests that the CIA and the Intelligence Community are implicated in the creation of the virus, a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and censorship to evade any public scrutiny for their role in the pandemic. 

  • 2015: The Intelligence Community held quarterly meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric and discussed “possible human adaptation” to coronavirus evolution. 

  • 2019-2020: The CIA had a spy working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology doing “both offensive and defensive work” with pathogens, according to Seymour Hersh. That asset reports in early 2020 that there was a laboratory accident that resulted in the infection of a researcher. 

  • March 18, 2020: The Department of Homeland Security replaced Health and Human Services as the lead Federal Agency responding to Covid, as explained in depth in Debbie Lerman’s The Deep State Goes Viral

  • Spring 2020: The CIA offered bribes to scientists to bury their findings refuting the “proximal origin” theory advanced by Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to a whistleblower. The House Oversight Committee explains: “According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.” Then, however, the “six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position.”

  • 2020: Dr. Fauci began holding secret meetings at CIA headquarters “without a record of entry” in order to “influence its Covid-19 origins investigation,” according to a whistleblower. “He knew what was going on…He was covering his ass and he was trying to do it with the Intel community,” the whistleblower told Congress.”

  • 2021: Scientists in the Department of Defense compiled significant evidence suggesting Covid emerged from a lab leak, but President Biden’s Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, banned them from presenting their evidence or participating in a discussion on the origins of the virus.

  • 2021: CISA, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, implemented a program known as “switchboarding,” where officials dictated to Big Tech platforms what content is permissible or prohibited speech. 

  • 2022: The Department of Homeland Security announced it will establish a “Disinformation Governance Board.” The Ministry of Truth is only discontinued when the absurdity of its chief censor, Nina Jankowicz, receives sufficient blowback from the public. [MORE]

Defense Stocks Fall as Trump Pushes Ukraine Peace Deal

President Donald Trump said on Monday that the U.S. and Ukraine had made “big progress” in settling on a peace proposal to put to Russia, sending several defense stocks lower.

That, however, only trimmed the sector’s big year-to-date gains. Defense stocks can react to news, but their longer-term performance is typically a function of defense spending, which is currently expected to rise.

“Is it really possible that big progress is being made in Peace Talks between Russia and Ukraine??? Don’t believe it until you see it, but something good just may be happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Monday.

Shares of France’s Thales, Germany’s Rheinmetall, and the U.K.’s BAE Systems fell 1.5%, 5%, and 3.6%, respectively, on Monday. Coming into the week, those three stocks were up an average of 87% year to date, boosted by expectations for rising European defense spending.

 Shares of drone maker AeroVironment, which has supplied its Switchblade loitering, guided bomb to the Ukrainian military, appeared to be unaffected by the peace talks. Shares rose 1.6%, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.6% and 0.4%, respectively. [MORE]

Led by US, Revenue of Major Weapons Makers Hit All-Time High in 2024

From [HERE] An annual report out Monday that tracks global arms sales shows that weapons makers in 2024 generated more revenue than at any time since the group behind the research began tracking the data over 35 years ago.

The annual report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) shows that the top 100 weapons makers in the world—led by those in the United States—brought in a record-setting $679 billion over the course of the year, fueled mainly by the war in Ukraine, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, and spending on nuclear weaponry.

“Last year global arms revenues reached the highest level ever recorded by SIPRI as producers capitalized on high demand,” said Lorenzo Scarazzato, a researcher with the SIPRI Military Expenditure and Arms Production Programme, which has been tracking global arms sales since 1989.

“In 2024,” the report explains, “the growing demand for military equipment around the world, primarily linked to rising geopolitical tensions, accelerated the increase in total Top 100 arms revenues seen in 2023. More than three-quarters of companies in the Top 100 (77 companies) increased their arms revenues in 2024, with 42 reporting at least double-digit percentage growth.” [MORE]

Iran Foreign Ministry says the US has become the Biggest Threat to World Peace

From [HERE] Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said on Monday that the United States poses the greatest threat to world peace and security, employing a pattern of unilateral use of force and coercion.

In his weekly press conference, the spokesman was asked about Washington's hostile actions against several nations, including Venezuela, following its military deployment in the Caribbean.

"The reality is that the United States, with the behavior it has shown during this time, has become the greatest threat to international peace and security," he asserted.

He added that actions based on threats and the use of force by the United States can be witnessed in every corner of the world. "In the Western Hemisphere, threats against Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and even Brazil and Mexico are constantly repeated by U.S. officials," he noted.

Baqaei also emphasized that the closure or declaration of airspace closure by a country is an unprecedented action, being contrary to all international norms and regulations, as well as regulations related to aviation safety.

Furthermore, he referred to Washington's threats against African countries, "including the declaration that, for example, South Africa has no right to participate in the G20 summit, which constitute another example of this approach."

The spokesman recalled that the US has given unwavering support to the criminal actions committed by Israel in the region.

I support Venezuela in the face of US aggression.

The spokesman reiterated that Iran maintains a relationship with Venezuela based on mutual respect and shared interests, and that Tehran has always expressed "our solidarity with the people and government" of the South American nation.

“We believe that Venezuela is facing an illegal war and threat from the United States government. There is no basis in international law that justifies such action by the United States. The pretext of drugs is nothing more than an excuse,” he asserted. [MORE]

Power Shut Offs are Rising as Utility Companies Run by Elites Turn the Electricity Off on More Americans, as Unpaid Bills Pile Up

From [HERE] Soaring electricity prices are triggering a wave of power shutoffs nationwide, leaving more Americans in the dark as unpaid bills pile up. Although there is no national count of electricity shutoffs, data from select utilities in 11 states show that disconnections have risen in at least eight of them since last year, according to figures compiled by The Washington Post and the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA). In some areas, such as New York City, the surge has been dramatic — with residential shutoffs in August up fivefold from a year ago, utility filings show.

In Pennsylvania, where Pellew lives, power shutoffs have risen 21 percent this year, with more than 270,000 households losing electricity, according to state data through October. The average electricity bill in the state, meanwhile, has risen 13 percent from a year ago, as utilities upgrade electric grids to accommodate a burst of new data centers, according to an analysis of federal data by NEADA, which represents state directors of energy aid programs for low-income families.

Overall, Americans are paying 11 percent more for electricity than they were in January, though that number varies widely: Costs have risen 37 percent in Missouri but have fallen in three states by as much as 13 percent, NEADA found.

“With prices going up so rapidly, electricity is becoming unaffordable in many parts of the country,” said Mark Wolfe, an energy economist and executive director of NEADA. “And it isn’t just lower-income households anymore; it’s spilling into the middle class.” [MORE]

The DOJ is Prosecuting a Drug Kingpin, Blah, Blah, Blah

From [HERE] The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) was patting itself on the back with gusto last week in publicizing it is prosecuting alleged drug kingpin Zhi Dong Zhang upon his extradition from Mexico. The prosecution is a really big deal in the US government’s effort to win the war on drugs according to the assertions of several government employees in the DOJ press release.

In reality, the hoopla is just more “blah, blah, blah” in support of a destructive drug war that continues to cause much harm while failing to achieve its stated objectives including the reduction of drug use and threats to safety. . . .

For someone with limited familiarity with the US drug war, these statements may be convincing that a major victory in the “war” is being accomplished that will lead to a diminishing of drug use and problems associated with it. However, the truth is very different. People who have followed the US war on drugs know that the comments of the various government employees in the press release are just a bunch of “blah, blah, blah” that can be ignored. Been there, done that. The US government has indicted and convicted many kingpins over the decades without it reducing drug use, helping drug users, or making America safer or more free. Rather, these and other enforcement efforts encompassed in the drug war have contributed to increased dangers for drug users and have, as libertarian communicator Ron Paul has been arguing for decades, made America more dangerous and less free while failing to reduce the supply of drugs.

In his February of 2014 Future of Freedom Foundation editorial “Yawn. Another Big Drug Bust,” Jacob G. Hornberger laid out the logic and history of why it is wrong to think that the arrest, indictment, incarceration, or killing of a drug kingpin, be it Zhang last week or another such as Joaquin Guzman Loera at the time Hornberger wrote his editorial, will do anything to help the American people. “[B]usting a big drug lord or some drug gang reaps nothing but a lot of publicity for the drug warriors,” concluded Hornberger. It instead is part of a larger effort — the war on drugs — that causes many harms that people wrongly blame on drugs.[MORE]

New Survey Finds that 1 in 10 Adults in the UD were Seriously Injured by a COVID Injection

From [HERE] One in every 10 U.S adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experienced “major” side effects, and over a third (36%) suffered “minor” side effects, according to a national survey conducted this month.

Based on a U.S. adult population of 258 million in 2020, the results mean that about 17 million adults who got the COVID-19 vaccine experienced major health effects, and roughly 63 million had minor side effects, said Rasmussen Reports, which conducted the survey.

The survey, which included 1,292 adults and had a margin sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence level, also revealed that 46% of both vaccinated and unvaccinated adults think it’s likely that COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths.

The numbers come as no surprise to Christopher Dreisbach, legal affairs director of React19, whose mission is to support the COVID-19 vaccine-injured. He told The Defender:

“Any surprise regarding the frequency and severity of these adverse reactions is simply the result of years of government and platform-level censorship that kept the injured’s experiences out of public view.”

Dreisbach was diagnosed with a debilitating and painful neurological disorder after getting Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Kristi Dobbs, who was also seriously injured when she took her first and only Pfizer COVID-19 shot on Jan. 18, 2021, said the U.S. government has yet to ensure that this kind of massive vaccine injury won’t happen again in the future.

With the exceptions of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who have been outspoken on COVID-19 vaccine injuries, most government officials are “hoping we will just be silenced and forgotten about,” Dobbs said.

She said she and others have been “shouting from the rooftops” since February 2021, when a group of them warned the National Institutes of Health that the shots were causing massive harm.

Since then, Dobbs has personally contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Stanford University and the Mayo Clinic.

“My cries have fallen on deaf ears for years,” she said. “The vaccine-injured are still hurting, dying and being discarded as trash.” [MORE]

Data Suggest COVID Injections May Have Contributed to Germany’s 2023 Surge in Excess Mortality

From [HERE] A new analysis in Royal Society Open Science found that Germany’s excess mortality surged in 2023 even as COVID-19 infections and deaths declined. The authors report that vaccination rates were the only factor that consistently tracked with the increase, though they stressed that the study doesn’t establish causation.

Professor Christof Kuhbandner, at the University of Regensburg in Germany, and Professor Matthias Reitzner, at Osnabrück University in Germany, published “Regional patterns of excess mortality in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic: a state-level analysis” in Royal Society Open Science in September.

Using actuarial life-table methods and population-adjusted expected-death modeling, the authors examined excess mortality across Germany’s 16 federal states from April 2020 to March 2023 to determine which factors — COVID-19 infections, deaths, vaccination rates, demographics or policy — best explain mortality patterns.

Their most controversial finding: in the third pandemic year, excess mortality rose sharply while COVID-19 deaths declined, creating a statistical decoupling that correlated positively with vaccination rates, even after adjusting for prior-year mortality.

While no causation is established, the correlations are nonetheless troubling.

Study design: State-level excess mortality across three ‘pandemic years’

This observational modeling study analyzed mortality data for three periods:

  • P1: April 2020-March 2021

  • P2: April 2021-March 2022

  • P3: April 2022-March 2023

Researchers computed expected deaths using 2017-2019 life tables, applied federal-state mortality correction factors and correlated excess mortality with: COVID-19 deaths, PCR-confirmed cases, vaccination rates (double and triple), age structure, poverty, GDP, trust in institutions and policy stringency.

The authors also used change-score models and ANCOVA to control for time-invariant confounders and prior-year excess mortality.

Findings: Early COVID death correlation, later decoupling and a vaccine paradox

  1. First two years: Excess mortality correlated strongly with COVID-19 deaths (r = 0.96 and r = 0.89). Yet COVID-19 deaths greatly exceeded excess deaths (e.g., 78,185 COVID-19 deaths vs. 22,405 excess deaths in P1). The study suggests misclassification or pandemic-measure effects as possible explanations.

  2. Third year: A “new driver” emerged. COVID-19 deaths dropped, infections fell, but excess mortality jumped from ~26,973 to ~78,493. Correlations with COVID-19 outcomes dissolved (r = 0.32, ns).

  3. Vaccination correlation:

    1. In P3, higher vaccination rates correlated with higher excess mortality (r = 0.65, p = 0.006).

    2. Change-score analysis for P2→P3 yielded r = 0.93, p < 0.001, even after adjusting for prior mortality.

    3. Higher vaccination states also saw smaller declines in COVID-19 deaths and case fatality rates. [MORE]

UK Government Wins 2-Year Battle to Conceal Data Linking COVID Shots to Excess Deaths

From [HERE] The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is not required to publicize data that may link COVID-19 vaccines to an increase in excess deaths in the United Kingdom during the pandemic, following a ruling last week by the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office.

The ruling, which concludes a two-year battle for the release of the data, has led to accusations of a “cover-up,” according to The Telegraph, which first reported the story.

In 2023, UsForThem, a nonprofit advocacy group, requested the data under the country’s freedom of information laws. However, UKHSA challenged the request, citing concerns that releasing the data could fuel “misinformation” and cause “distress” to the vaccine-injured.

In a statement provided to The Defender, Luke Weeks, senior communications manager at UKHSA’s press office, said:

“Protecting patient confidentiality is of critical importance. Releasing this data presented a real possibility that it could be used to identify individuals, which could result in significant distress.

“UKHSA provided a carefully anonymised version of the dataset that removed the risk of identification. We welcome the decision of the tribunal to dismiss the appeal.”

UKHSA previously told the Information Commissioner’s Office that releasing the data may lead to “distress or anger” on the part of the relatives of the deceased and that the figures might be used to fuel “misinformation” about the COVID-19 vaccines, potentially fueling vaccine hesitancy.

According to TrialSite News, UKHSA’s “single justification — fear of public reaction — is now driving intense criticism.”

Dr. Angus Dalgleish, a medical oncologist at St. George’s, University of London, called the decision to withhold the data “a ridiculous cover-up.”

“The excuse of [vaccine] confidence is patently absurd,” Dalgleish said.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who is chief medical adviser to Make Europe Healthy Again (MEHA) and medical adviser to MAHA Action, said the decision to withhold the data is “appalling,” as the data “would very likely make the link between the COVID jabs and excess deaths.”

Malhotra said this is “not the first time” that U.K. government health agencies “have been involved in a cover-up.” He said the U.K.’s Department of Health and the country’s National Health Service “covered up the ambulance delays” that resulted in the 2021 death of his father, Dr. Kailash Chand, a general practitioner and former deputy chair of the British Medical Association.

‘Not having access to clear and concise data is what fuels misinformation’

TrialSite News noted that while it is impossible to claim with certainty that the data withheld by the UKHSA show a definitive link between COVID-19 vaccinations and an increase in excess deaths, “refusal to release the data suggests an unwillingness to examine the question openly.” [MORE]

Dr Russell Blaylock: Ignored Dangers of the COVID-19 injections

From [HERE] The ramifications of the unprecedented push to vaccinate the entire world with these dangerous and ineffective COVID-19 injections are in two categories – the seen and the unseen. The seen entails such things as a rising incidence of myocarditis, multifocal encephalitis, sudden adult death, a rising incidence of death in vaccinated toddlers and babies, death of babies breastfed by vaccinated mothers, the spread of the virus by the vaccinated among the population (shedding), and other obvious health catastrophes.

At the center of both the obvious and hidden ramifications of these injections is what will be the delayed effects of these injections. To understand this, first, we have to look at the biodistribution study done by the Pfizer pharmaceutical company which was purposefully hidden, not just from the public, but all scientists and physicians in the world. A freedom of information lawsuit was required to force Pfizer to release this study. When the study was examined, it immediately became obvious why they wished it to be hidden. The study, done on animals, demonstrated that once injected into the animals’ muscles, the nanolipid carrier containing the specifically engineered messenger RNA (mRNA) did not stay at the site of the injection, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Pfizer assured the public it did, rather within 48 h this spike protein producing creation was distributed throughout the body. Further, these nanolipid carriers were found in the highest concentration in the female ovaries and the bone marrow of both sexes. High concentrations were also found in the endothelial cells lining all blood vessels, the liver, spleen, the heart, and kidneys, with lesser concentrations in the brain. In addition, the nanolipid carrier itself was found to be toxic and inflammatory.

What I wish to address in this essay are some of the possible less obvious ramifications of these injections. First on the list, will be the contamination of the blood supply using blood donated by the vaccinated. As an introduction to the subject let us first review the skeptical responses from the orthodox supporters of “safe and effective” vaccines. [MORE]
