Retired child and adolescent psychiatrist and American expatriate in New Zealand. In 2002, I made the difficult decision to close my 25-year Seattle practice after 15 years of covert FBI harassment. I describe the unrelenting phone harassment, illegal break-ins and six attempts on my life in my 2010 book The Most Revolutionary Act: Memoir of an American Refugee.
You will never hear about it on television “news” because Big Pharma controls all the networks – just look at the commercials to see for yourself – but the fact is that antidepressant drugs like SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) do not work and are based on scam science.
Late last year, research published byFrontiers in Psychiatry revealed that the only thing many people need to beat depression is psychotherapy alone. This, researchers found, is more effective than taking antidepressants, or than taking antidepressants while undergoing psychotherapy.
Not only are antidepressants useless, they are also dangerous, the research further revealed, significantly increasing one’s risk of committing suicide or making a suicide attempt.
“Among the antidepressants, SSRI use was associated with an increased risk of suicide and suicide attempt,” the research states. “In addition, the risk of suicide and suicide attempt between SSRIs and other antidepressants was similar.”
“Clinicians should evaluate carefully their patients and be cautious with patients at risk to have treatment emergence or worsening of suicidal ideation (TESI / TWOSI) when prescribing antidepressants to children and young patients.”
(Related: A comprehensive review found that depression is not caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain as is commonly claimed.)
Especially dangerous for children
These findings are significant, not just because they support earlier findings of the same conclusion, but also because Big Pharma continues to push SSRIs and other antidepressants on Americans, including American children.
Just last month, drug giant Pfizer aired a commercial during the Super(stupid) Bowl offering a tribute to “Science,” pretending as though its drug offerings have changed the world for the better.
The only thing Pfizer has changed is the way people look at health, as well as the overall health of the country for the worse. The truth is that nobody needs antidepressant drugs – what most people need is love, care and proper nutrition to overcome feelings of sadness and malaise.
One wonders why more doctors are failing to read the latest science debunking the SSRI / antidepressant scam, as well as the “chemical imbalance in the brain” myth that has long underpinned Big Pharma’s efforts to profit from depression by selling dangerous snake oil to the masses.
Perhaps it is because doctors themselves are profiting from SSRI and antidepressant prescriptions, many of them well aware of the fact that the drugs are dangerous and useless.
“SSRIs, from what I’ve read, are as additive or more so than nicotine,” commented someone with diagnosed anxiety who learned the hard way about addiction. “Now we have 50+million people totally addicted to a substance that nudges them towards anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation.”
“It is all corrupt. Unless it is a surgery or an anti-biotic (which are totally over prescribed), Western medicine is a sham. Even surgeons see surgery as the solution to all problems.”
“The incentives are all wrong. The problems are generational and trillions of dollars deep. It will take an absolute revolution – almost French Revolution-style awakening of the American public for something to change.”
Another wrote that taking vitamin D – or better yet, getting more skin exposure to natural sunlight – is enough to alleviate most of his depression symptoms, along with regular exercise.
“St. John’s Wort takes care of the rare anxiety,” this person added. “There was lots of trial and error there, but I’ve found what works for me. I’ve tried anti-depressants in the past. They make me alternate between suicidal depression and homicidal rage. No thanks.”
Another, a 54-year veteran psychiatrist, stated that he has been helping people overcome their depression for decades, never once using a drug to treat any mental or emotional disorder.

The “detailed” scheme involves cutting Kiev off from US aid, the Hungarian PM said
Donald Trump intends to end the Ukraine conflict, if reelected as US president, and has a “detailed plan” to do so, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told local media, after meeting the presumed Republican nominee.
The former US leader repeatedly claimed on his campaign trail that, if he had remained in the White House for a second term, there would be no hostilities between Moscow and Kiev. If voted back in, he promises to end the conflict “in 24 hours” by applying pressure on stakeholders.
Orban, who spoke with Trump at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Friday, did not explain how exactly the American would do that, but said that cutting the flow of US aid was a crucial part of the plan.
”If the US will not provide the money, Europeans on their own will not be able to finance this war, and then the war will end,” Orban said in an interview with M1 broadcaster on Sunday.
During his presidency, Trump had shown himself to be “a man of peace,” the Hungarian leader claimed. That stance puts him in alignment with Hungary, unlike the administration of US President Joe Biden and many members of the EU, he added.
”The American Democratic government and the leadership of the EU, as well as the leadership of the largest EU member states are pro-war governments. Donald Trump is pro-peace, Hungary is pro-peace. At the bottom of everything lies this difference,” Orban declared.
The Kremlin declined to weigh in on the remarks, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying on Monday that Orban’s account of Trump’s intentions was too vague for any specific commentary.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky previously expressed skepticism about Trump’s ability to deliver on the promise. He said if the plan was feasible, the American politician should share it with the public, or at least with Kiev. The Ukrainian government claims that a “just peace” requires a military victory over Russia and that it would agree to nothing short of that.
Moscow has said that its strategic goals in the military operation against Kiev will be achieved one way or another. The US and its allies, who continue to arm Ukraine, cannot change that outcome and are only prolonging the suffering of the country’s people, Russian officials have stated.

Israelis aren’t the only demographic among the IDF’s forces in Gaza. Foreign fighters from as far away as the United States, France, Spain, the Netherlands and even India actively participate in the hostilities. While the exact number of internationals fighting in Gaza isn’t known, what is known is that citizens from numerous countries appear to be at least complicit in what has been called a genocide.
Under Israel’s Law of Return, any individual with at least one Jewish grandparent or spouse can obtain Israeli citizenship. In this regard, many born abroad can serve in Israel’s military while still keeping their birthplace’s nationality. They often emigrate and then serve in the army.
Currently, 45% of the Israeli army’s “lone soldiers,” those who serve but don’t have family in Israel, are new immigrants. The current “lone soldier” program has troops from over 60 countries, with approximately 35% from the U.S. It’s important to note, though, that individuals part of Israel’s “lone soldier” program are not considered mercenaries, who are professionals hired by a country’s government to fight in its war and aren’t citizens of said country.
To widen the recruitment pool, the Israeli military now accepts great-grandchildren of Jews to join. While they aren’t eligible to become Israeli citizens under the Law of Return, they can serve in the Israeli army.
Another route is volunteering in Israel’s Mahal program, which permits Jewish youth from other countries to join the army without becoming citizens. There are currently 500 Mahal volunteers in Israel’s military.
“Most mercenaries fighting for Israel now are welcomed based on their religious affiliations and dual citizenships, making their accountability pretty complex,” Mustafa Fetouri, a Libyan journalist and analyst, told MintPress News. “Many countries whose citizens are fighting for Israel, including the USA, have laws criminalizing such actions, but it is not a straightforward issue when the dual citizenship is factored in.”
Fetouri expanded on this, writing in the Middle East Monitor that “America’s Neutrality Act, dating back to the founding days of the US, mak[es] it illegal for any American citizen to take part in any foreign war, or establish a militia for that purpose.” He noted the legislation, however, hasn’t been reinforced lately “as hundreds of Americans have participated in wars in Ukraine, in Libya in 2011 and, now, in Gaza.”
The Israeli military also openly recruits nationals of other countries. For instance, the Israeli consulate in Toronto has advertised appointments with its military representative for those wishing to join the military.
From November 11-14, the Israeli consulate in Toronto will be recruiting Canadians to serve in Israel’s terrorist military.
The consulate’s website said, “Young people who wish to enlist in the IDF or anyone who has not fulfilled their obligations according to the Israeli Defense Service Law are invited to meet with him.”
Organizations like Nefesh B’Nefesh, which encourages Jewish immigration to Israel from North America, have hosted events on joining the Israeli military. Sar-El (National Project for Volunteers for Israel) recruits Jewish and non-Jewish internationals to assist Israeli military efforts on army bases, such as packaging food and medical supplies.
The Nationalities Serving
In November, the Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, revealed that Spanish mercenary Pedro Diaz Flores is now fighting for Israel, having previously fought in Ukraine with the neo-Nazi Azov Brigade.
“So I came for economy, for money. They pay very well, they offer good equipment, and the work is calm. It is 3,900 euros [$4,187] per week, complementary missions aside,” Flores told El Mundo.
While pictured next to a border checkpoint with the Gaza Strip, he told the newspaper he’s working in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, saying, “We only provide security support to arms convoys or the troops of the Israeli armed forces that are in the Gaza Strip, we do not fight Hamas directly, nor are we involved in assault operations.”
“We are in charge of the security of the checkpoints and access control on the borders of Gaza and Jordan. There are many PMCs [private military companies] here, and they share the work. Traditionally, they have guarded border terminals between Eilat and Aqaba,” he added.
He told the newspaper he was recruited by Raven and Global CST. Information on Raven isn’t available online. MintPress News reached out to Global CST to verify Flores’ contract. Global CST said it doesn’t know Flores and that “Global CST holds no security or military activities of any type or form, not in Israel, not in Gaza, and not in any other territory worldwide.”
Global CST told MintPress News it’s a renewable energy company and denied reports it’s providing defense and security services to governments and other organizations. On LinkedIn, Global CST is described as offering “strategic consulting and project integration management.” The website listed on Global-CST’s LinkedIn is currently down. When asked for a website, Global CST directed MintPress to Global Group’s website, which promotes agricultural projects worldwide.
The LinkedIn profile of the firm’s founder, Israel Ziv, a retired Israeli general, details Global CST as an “Israeli-based security consultancy group…which has built a vast and unique track record in various continents around the globe, such as South America, Eastern Europe, and Africa.” Global CST confirmed to MintPress News Ziv is its founder. The company, which also operates under the name Global N.T.M., was established in 2006 and remains active.
In 2018, the U.S. government imposed sanctions on Global CST and Ziv for allegedly supplying weapons to South Sudan. The U.S. Treasury Department said Ziv used an agricultural company “as a cover for the sale of approximately $150 million worth of weapons to the government, including rifles, grenade launchers and shoulder-fired rockets.”
The U.S. also said Ziv “planned to organize attacks by mercenaries on South Sudanese oil fields and infrastructure in an effort to create a problem that only his company and affiliates could solve.” The U.S. lifted its sanctions on Ziv and his company in 2020 without an explanation.
Since El Mundo’s publication, reports have also emerged of other nationalities involved in a more direct capacity with Israel’s assault on Gaza. Footage has surfaced of Israeli soldiers speaking with American accents or with American flag patches on their uniforms.
According to the U.S. State Department, 21 American citizens who were members of the Israeli military have been killed in Gaza since the war began. Canadian media has reported its own nationals are volunteering with the Israeli army and are motivated to serve in Gaza. And British newspaper, The Guardian, reported British nationals have been killed in Gaza while fighting for Israel. Britons are also arriving in droves to volunteer with the military like doctors and university chaplains. Around 100 British citizens are currently part of Israel’s military.
In December, Al Jazeera reported seven Ukrainian mercenaries were reportedly killed near Gaza City while fighting alongside Israeli forces. This news came as images of Israeli soldiers speaking Ukrainian circulated on social media. The Ukrainian government denies its citizens are fighting in Gaza, however.
“We did not send any soldiers to the Gaza Strip or any other region of the world,” Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson told Al Jazeera.
“The footage that shows people speaking Ukrainian in the Gaza Strip may be Israelis of Ukrainian or Slavic origins who have no connection to the state,” the spokesperson added.
According to Australian journalist CJ Werleman, Israeli soldiers of Indian origin are also fighting in Gaza. The Indian Foreign Ministry did not respond to inquiries on whether its citizens are fighting in Gaza.

Close examination of Forward Observation Group’s Instagram account suggests the group has been cooperating with the Israeli army since October — first stationed around the Gaza border and then located within the enclave by the end of November. The last image on its account from Gaza is dated January 16. Another post dated January 11 depicts camera footage of Israeli soldiers fighting in Gaza. It is captioned, “Helmet cam footage from a LOTAR Special Forces team leader we embedded with shortly after the OCT 7th attack.” A recent Instagram Story from Forward Observations shows a soldier in a hospital bed draped with Forward Observation’s flag. An Israeli flag hangs on the wall next to him.
Although Napoleon could have been shot for abandoning his army in Egypt (see French Revolution: Napoleon Invades Egypt), his skill at self-promotion made him a national hero. In 1799, Directory member Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès shoulder-trapped him to launch a coup ending the Revolution and installing a more conservative/authoritarian government.
Although the Directory lasted the longest of any of France’s revolutionary governments, it was extremely ineffectual owing to intense factional fighting between conservative and left-leaning Directors. It had already overturned several elections. In the Coup of Fructidor (18 Fructidor or September 4, 1797), recently elected neo-Jacobins ousted its three most conservative Directors and arrested and deported 53 conservative deputies. In 1798, majority conservatives launched a similar purge against recently elected leftist deputies.
Facing imminent invasion by an Austrian regime fearful the French revolution would spread to the rest of Europe, by 1799 the Directory had lost popular support – mainly due to its enactment of universal conscription (to defend France against Austria and other European regimes threatening to crush the revolution) and strict laws limiting religious practice.
Fellow coup conspirators in the legislature’s upper chamber prepared for the imminent coup by moving both legislative chambers to the Paris suburb of St Cloud (they used a rumored neo-Jacobian coup* as an excuse). After Napoleon, who the Directory had appointed Commissioner of Paris, assembled 7,000 troops outside the chambers, three (of the five) Directory members resigned.
The first time Napoleon and his troops stormed first the upper and lower chamber, the deputies shouted them down and they withdrew. After lower chamber president, Napoleon’s brother Lucien Bonaparte, gave the troops a rousing speech about their essential role in preventing a return of the Reign of Terror, they stormed the lower chamber with drawn bayonets. When General Joachim Murat (who later married Napoleon’s sister Caroline) gave the order to physically expel the deputies, they fled of their own accord.
Napoleon supporters in the upper chamber proceeded to vote the Directory out of existence, replacing it with a new government consisting of three proconsuls (which included Napoleon and Sieyès).
*Which they feared could trigger a popular uprising in Paris.
In a world where ‘equity’ is the catch-cry of corporatists accumulating unprecedented wealth, the return of colonialism should not surprise. Colonialism, after all, brings great benefits to those whom it disempowers and pillages. Success requires a highly centralized approach to achieve mass control, restricting freedom ‘for the greater good’ whilst silencing those who disagree.
With the World Health Organization (WHO) now rebooted to promote just such approaches, and its calamitous Covid response having recently pushed former colonies further into penury, the stage is set for a return of the old order. An army of international health bureaucrats, equipping themselves with an array of rhetoric around ‘infodemics,’ ‘vaccine equity,’ and a new-found love of corporate sponsorship, are forming the vanguard. The winners, the losers, and the enablers – all the stuff we naively thought we had put aside but was just festering in the shadows.
While European colonialism proved an excellent way to extract the wealth of others, it also had its downsides. One was the inadvertent extraction of pestilence such as cholera and typhus. While smallpox had been a devastating European export, clearing coveted lands for colonial settlement, transmission of disease in the reverse direction upset the colonizers; local laws and expectations applied and mass death and suffering could not be hidden from the public eye.
To address this problem, 12 European countries met in 1851 for the first international sanitary conference. Most were heavily invested in the colonial enterprise, settling and pillaging other lands to demonstrate a higher form of civilization. Some were still actively enslaving people to make this greater good even cheaper to impose. Thus, the noble field of international public health (nowadays rebranded as ‘Global Health’) was born. Regular rebranding is important as the past becomes awkward.
A series of such conferences culminated in the first Sanitary Convention in 1892, and the establishment of the permanent Office Internationale d’Hygiene Publique in Paris in 1907. The countries of the Americas had got in first with their own International Sanitary Bureau in 1902, but the world’s center of gravity was still in Europe. While the great public-private partnerships that had exploited the colonial populations, such as the East Indiacompanies, had mostly dissolved, colonial governments were still able to starve and abuse the locals without too much reference to the norms of behavior expected at home. International public health was about keeping the home populations safe, not about dealing with the disease burdens of the colonized.
Colonies could be run with the efficiency of private industry free from the growing expectations of health and welfare in Europe. They were sufficiently distant and profitable for the benefits of extracted wealth to temper any feelings of guilt that such abuse might arouse. The extremes of some late-comers such as systemic mutilation could also serve as outlets for those who wished to vent virtue; this could allow feelings of philanthropic altruism or ‘White Man’s Burden’ to veil the more routinecarnage of the more established powers.
Throughout this, the tropical public health schools of Europe helped keep populations productive and profitable whilst reinforcing this veil of benevolence; dictated healthcare to support the corporate-authoritarian state. They also boosted the egos and sense of adventure of the young health professionals the state recruited. There is not much new under the sun.
Between the two world wars colonialism remained good business. The League of Nations trialed inclusiveness by adding the rising Asian colonial power, Japan. The pre-antibiotic Spanish flu had recently wreaked havoc globally with 25 to 50 million deaths between 1918 and 1920, and typhus had continued a deadly path through the First World War. International collaboration made sense, but it would be on the terms of the wealthy and remain primarily focused on threats to their own health.
This elitist view extended to the eugenics movement of the time. Supported by much of the Western public health establishment, this came to be expressed most clearly through their enthusiastic embrace of Nazism in Germany. We usually view Nazism as gray images of jackboots and concentration camps, but this is a distortion; a figment of monochrome film and propaganda. It was considered progressive at the time; people working together in the sun for the benefit of the many, growing prosperity and opportunity.
It captured the minds and hearts of students and the young, giving them a cause to stand for, sanctioning their right to denigrate deviants, non-conformers, and those considered unhealthy or a threat to social purity. As today, this was all promoted from above by a mix of politicians and corporatists and reflected in the professional societies and colleges. It enables people to view the subjugation of others as virtuous. Fascism and colonialism are faces of the same coin.
The consequent rotting piled corpses of the death trains of the 1940s, and the mutilated skeletal ghosts of the camps they served, gave medical authoritarianism a bad name. The Second World War also gave colonized populations a path and a means to throw off their oppressors. There followed a few decades in which public health did penance. Career paths required acknowledgement of anti-fascist concepts such as equality between countries, community control of health policy, and the ever-unpopular idea of ‘informed consent.’ Declarations from Nuremberg to Helsinki to Alma Ata promoted this theme, with human rights trending in the media.
For corporate authoritarianism and the colonialist ideal to be made friendly again, the former themes would have to be sanitized. ‘Greater good’ is a good place to start; “Protect your community, get your jab” makes forced compliance sound caring. “No one is safe, until everyone is safe” justifies the demonization of non-compliers. A few generations of forgetting, a bit of rebranding, and it all becomes mainstream again.
Let us dig further into our enlightened present. We pull down the statues of the tyrants, ban the books of racists, then close the markets and schools across low-income countries and expand their debt, ensuring they remain subservient. In wealthy countries, corporatists fund the colleges that train the cadres who then save the ignorant and needy in ‘backward’ States. They arrange for the children to be injected with the medicines the corporatists make, proven effective by the modelers they sponsor and approved by the regulatory agencies they support. The big new public-private partnerships ensure private profit can be driven by public money.
An ever-growing bureaucracy, in an ever-growing list of international agencies, now implements the centrist agenda, removing remaining vestiges of local ownership and control. Thousands of well-salaried ‘humanitarian’ workers are the new East India Company bureaucrats, projecting the same façade of Western largesse to the distant, ignorant, and undeveloped. Untouchable international agencies such as the WHO, external to national judicial control, do the leg work for those with money and power. Two decades ago, emphasis was on empowering communities. I have sat in meetings in recent years where these same people shamelessly discuss defunding countries that don’t comply with emerging Western cultural norms. Cultural imperialism has become acceptable again.
With the world turning full circle, post-World War Two concepts of human rights, equality, and local agency are exiting the international stage. The veiled colonialism currently dressed up as vaccine equity looks like a bunch of colonial bureaucrats forcing their sponsors’ wares on those with less power, whilst building policies to ensure this imbalance remains. Malnutrition, infectious disease, child marriage, and generational poverty are side issues to the East India Pharma and Software Company’s bottom lines. This will stop when those being colonized once again unite and refuse to comply. In the meantime, the enablers could open their eyes and understand who they are working for.
Activist leaders and rappers have tried to help convert drug-dealing gangs into activist organizations since the 1960s.
U.S. intelligence has tried to hijack these efforts and undermine or even murder these activists, likely due to it thwarting their street-level drug-distribution network that helps them sedate and divide communities of color.[1]
Revolutionary Black Panther Party leader Dr. Alli Muhammad, M.D., was raised by parents who were both medical doctors and were members of the 1960s Black Panther Party.
As of 2017, the Revolutionary Black Panther Party, which Dr. Muhammad helped found in 1992, reportedly had 40 chapters and 700 members nationwide.
Dr. Muhammad gives evidence of a recent example of such murderous opposition in Chicago, Milwaukee and Atlanta, through an interview below.
The Black Panthers, Gang Conversion Leader Larry Hoover and U.S. Intelligence Opposition
The backstory regarding these Chicago gangs is that former Chicago-based Illinois Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton had successfully organized a merger of his Chicago Black Panther Party and one of Chicago’s largest gangs, The Blackstone Rangers, in 1968.
The Blackstone Rangers were inspired to change their name to the Black P. Stone Nation in honor of the merger and activist conversion.
The FBI’s Counter-Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) used undercover agents and sent fake “concerned black citizens” to Black P. Stone Nation’s Jeff Fort and Hampton to help stop that merger.[2]
The FBI’s COINTELPRO employed an undercover agent, William O’Neal, who provided floor plans of Hampton’s apartment and drugged him before he was shot, along with Panther leader Mark Clark.[3]
Fred Hampton’s life and death at the hands of the FBI were made even more famous by the surprisingly accurate 2021 mainstream film about him, Judas and the Black Messiah, which was nominated for six Academy Awards and won two that year.
At least one source said that, in 1969, Chicago’s gang leader Larry Hoover merged his Gangster Disciples with leader David Barksdale’s Black Disciples.
They both then had their new Black Gangster Disciple Nation merge with the Black P. Stones and Vice Lords to form “a peaceful alliance known as the Lords, Stones and Disciples (LSD) in order to lessen bloodshed and unify in an attempt to fight for civil rights,” before the end of 1969.
FBI “Officially” Ends COINTELPRO, but Continues It Against Hoover, Panthers and Tupac?
Former FBI Agent Wes Swearingen reported COINTELPRO’s continuance into the 1990s.
Did the FBI target Larry Hoover and David Barksdale in a similar way that a mass of evidence shows they targeted Panther leader Fred Hampton for working on gang activist conversions?
Larry Hoover was sentenced to more than 150 years in prison in 1973 and David Barksdale was fatally shot in 1974, after which these gang peace alliances were broken up.
Larry Hoover maintains that, from prison, he wrote a book and was working toward leading The Gangster Disciples street gang to turn into the community service organization, Growth and Development, inspiring best-selling rappers Kanye West and Drake to spend a decade making appeals for his release.
Below is my interview with Dr. Alli Muhammad, M.D., the founder and Chief General in Command of the Revolutionary Black Panther Party.
John Potash: And so you were telling me that a rapper and the [Chicago gang] Gangster Disciple’s leader were trying to gain a peace truce with another gang—the Black Disciples. Is that right?
Dr. Alli Muhammad, M.D.: Correct, yes. Rapper FBG Duck was calling for peace.
[…]
For those who know the music genre, there’s a rapper by the name of Chief Keef, there’s a rapper by the name of JoJo. He’s known as FBG Duck, the one that I’m speaking about in particular, also known as Carlton Weekly. And so, there was rivalry with the Black Disciples and this music genre was used. And whenever someone was killed, or was going to be killed, a lot of times it’s rapped in the music, right? So there will be like, you know, “I’m going to roll up on so-and-so and blah-blah-blah’s going to happen.”
Dr. Muhammad: Yes, and his actual name is Carlton Weekly. So he was gunned down and the Chicago PD—you can see on video, it’s in public media and news media—actually sat there and watched him die. They didn’t let the EMS or anybody service him or anything like that. They let him die and the shooters got away. As the shooters got away, there are cameras that actually show a marked police car escorting the shooters into this area they call “O Block.” O Block is where the BDs [Black Disciples gang] are at [called “the most dangerous block in Chicago” by The Chicago Sun Times-Eds.]. You can see five people on the video running out of the car, somebody coming back to get a black bag, and they talk to the officer in the vehicle—the officer is dressed in white—then the vehicle pulls away.
There’s a murder trial going on right now for FBG Duck. The FBI is involved in this murder trial. On trial—and it’s documented—they’re asking the Chicago PD, “who’s driving the vehicle?” And they said they can’t identify what vehicle that is from them, though it’s their marked vehicle. But when he died, the mayor at that time gave a press conference assaulting his character, calling him all these disparaging things. Then the police in the audience clapped when his death was announced. And so, this helped to exasperate the promo between the two.
The area where the BDs are at is called “O Block.” The official name of the facility is called Parkway Gardens. It’s where Michelle Obama actually was from. And the other area is called 63rd, it’s at Saint Lawrence and Martin Luther King and they called it 63rd. So the two popular rappers at that time were Saint Von and FBG Duck. And the music is like laced with a lot of stuff involving people who are dying. But my point in talking about this, is that drill music is actually very dangerous in the urban community. I’m talking about to the point as to where it’s part of the culture now. You have a rivalry with a neighbor and these young people are talking “smoking opps” and they’re children and they’ll even make up songs and do all sorts of things that are disparaging. It’s a part of the culture now and it’s very detrimental. It’s all over the world and when they do it, it involves formulating gang violence or personal violence with the music genre. And Chicago is really bad because when FBG Duck was killed it just made it worse. And the other rapper who was popular, King Von, he was killed in Atlanta but it still made it worse.
And in his trial, it comes up that the other rapper allegedly paid $100,000 to have him killed, but again, there are informants that are admitted U.S. informants in this trial. Right now, if you looked it up, there’s an informant who’s an influencer and is called Trenches News. He actually, at one point in time, was on that O Block side where the BDs are. Then he went to 63rd with the GDs. So he infiltrated both of them, but all this time no one knew. I’m going to say even I would watch Trenches News sometimes. No one knew that he was actually a federal informant and now he’s listed in the trial right now. He’s a federal informant. They paid him $25,000 to infiltrate and give them news.
So, U.S. intelligence is all over this particular thing and this whole drill music thing is just totally insane. And the mother of FBG Duck, Christina Weekly, who I’m in correspondence with is very devasted by all of this. She wants justice for her son. They tried to make it difficult for her to actually sue. Whenever you’re in a city, they try to do that and give you the run around. She wanted to sue the city, I mean sue the county, and the sheriff’s department, and the emergency fire rescue people for letting her son just die like that. So there’s more coming out of that.
John Potash: Okay, got you. When they use the word informant, I believe that the best evidence of this means agent, paid agent. Informant sounds like they’re just passively sending across information, but often they’re being manipulated, told, or instructed to do particular things that can include murder. Informant is just a euphemism that makes them sound innocuous. They usually are working directly for the FBI or police intelligence. Obviously, this sounds like a latter day COINTELPRO operation used to stop a peace truce between these two gangs that sounds like Carlton Weekly—or FBG Duck—was trying to do to continue the gang peace truce movement, which of course Tupac was instrumental in helping out way back when and had spread throughout the country. It’s great that FBG Duck was continuing it. It’s incredible how they’ll target anyone trying to cause peace. Partly because sometimes when these leaders—like FBG Duck—are trying to gain peace truces, they’re curtailing some of the drug dealing. I don’t know if this was the case with FBG Duck, but I know a lot of other gangs were cutting down or cutting out the drug dealing, as part of the peace movement. That cost the money launderers and the CIA and others that are trafficking the drugs, billions of dollars.
Dr. Muhammad: In 2017, you can actually look this up, there’s a social media trail. I had organized with some of the top BD [Black Disciple] people who can actually have a truce. GDs [Gangster Disciples] as well. At that time, the reformed GDs let me say that because when they joined us, they were doing a positive thing, The Chicago Revolutionary Black Panther Party and also the Black P. Stones and the Vice Lords. This is a documented dynamic that can actually be verified. There were two meetings. They had the first meeting with just these hedge meetings first before they met with me. The second meeting was going to be with me…
John Potash: So you were doing this in Chicago, Dr. Muhammad?
Dr. Muhammad: It was organized in a national gang truce, but a treaty starting in Chicago with the Vice Lords, BDs, GDs, and Black P. Stones. This was in 2017—May of 2017. The heads of the BDs, GDs, Vice Lords, and Stones at that time that could actually make this change happen had got together. We organized it very well. I’m going to mention the actual name that they would know of the person who headed our Chicago Chapter, who at that time was a GD that goes back to Larry Hoover. His nickname is Hot Rod and I’m just going to say his first name, Rodney. They’ll know exactly who I’m talking to you about. General RT, who was the leader of our Chicago Chapter at that time.
What happened is, at the meeting, they met at this bar and he got poisoned. He was poisoned with antifreeze and almost died. So we couldn’t have any further truce going on. I know U.S. intelligence is involved, but it clarified to me how deep they’re involved.
The government, the media, and the health service have buried their heads in the sand and promised our health problems will go away.
Friday 08 March 2024: the government announced new health targets promising greatly shortened wait times and faster treatments, but incredibly failed to address why so many people are falling sick. Health Minister Shane Reti admitted the deficiencies in the announced policies, which are neither new nor realistic, saying:
“I do want to acknowledge that achieving shorter wait times for first specialist assessments and for elective treatments were tough for the previous government, and will be tough for us too.”
According to Dr Joe Mills, a consultant cardiologist at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital:
“We have really noticed the trend for younger people from mid-20s upwards having heart attacks in the past five years in particular. Now as a cardiologist, you wouldn’t even raise your eyebrows when seeing someone in their late 30s — it’s becoming fairly typical, which is frightening.”
The article then proceeds to trot out the usual suspects: obesity, stress, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcohol, and diabetes but fails to observe that none of these factors have changed appreciably or abruptly during the last five years. Something else has, and we all know what that it is, but the Daily Mail and the numerous doctors they interviewed all seem to be suffering from amnesia.
MPs Address Hidden Stats on UK Health Crisis: Hospital Admissions & Excess DeathsThis short-term memory loss is greatly aided by a determined effort to hide the worrying statistics of elevated excess death and alarming rates of hospital admissions covering a wide variety of conditions. Some UK MPs are no longer prepared to go on burying their heads in the sand like frightened ostriches.
An article in the UK Daily Telegraph entitled Health Secretary urged to release data that ‘may link Covid vaccine to excess deaths’ reports that MPs and peers have accused the Health Secretary of withholding health data. They are criticising this ‘wall of silence’ and questioning the government’s excuse of waiting lists and pandemic delays. The MPs say, “There is no place for blind faith.” Show us the data that supports your case.
The MPs believe potentially critical data – which maps the date of people’s COVID-19 vaccine doses to the date of their deaths – have been released to pharmaceutical companies but not put into the public domain. The leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, said there was a “serious problem” with thousands more people dying than expected and suggested the side effects of coronavirus jabs could be responsible.
NZ Health Crisis Deepens: Data Censorship, GP Shortages, and Unaddressed Sickness SurgeHere in New Zealand, the government has deftly sidestepped the problem by making discussion of the data linking death and Covid vaccination status a criminal offence. Hence Health Minister Dr Shane Reti was able today to blithely announce ambitious and unrealistic health targets without any possibility of anyone questioning what exactly is going on—how many are falling sick with what and why.
Reti also made a reference to ‘bed blocking’, the belief that people are piling up in emergency departments because elderly patients are taking up hospital beds for long periods since there are no adequate care options at home. None of this amounted to a credible policy, because it fails to address the huge increase in rates of sickness among young and working age people, which has overwhelmed our health service. Particularly telling are the cases of turbo cancer and unexplained sudden death which have begun to dominate our newspaper pages.
Urgent Action Needed: Government to Speed Up Health Data Release Amid Growing Crisis
The government has announced a programme of public consultation to expand the terms of reference of the Covid Inquiry. The Inquiry will take years to report, meanwhile people of all ages are falling sick and finding it hard to get treatment. Rather than waiting for a ponderous inquiry, the government needs to act now to release critical health data for public view and discussion. Only in this way can it mobilise and fast track the required analysis and action.
Last week we reported on The Need for a Comprehensive Health Service Audit. The first 100 days of the new government have flowed past without dynamic steps to identify the causes of the health crisis. This cannot be safely postponed. Lives are at stake. This is not a time for excessive secrecy and a pretence of competence. The facts are being ignored or hidden.
The EU’s globalist agenda prioritises dependency rather than local self-sufficiency, even though relying on food and oil imports poses risks. Importing food from distant locations significantly increases fuel consumption and labour compared to producing it locally.
The World Economic Forum’s reset agenda promotes the adoption of smart devices and 5G technology, despite the potential harm of electromagnetic frequency technologies to human health. In the farming sector, this translates to the electrification and wireless connection of everything under the guise of combating climate change and achieving net zero carbon emissions.
This new framework, although marketed as reducing CO2 emissions, remains highly polluting. As the focus shifts to marketing and selling new “green” products, the environmental impact remains largely unchanged.
Without Farmers and Without Affordable Oil, Supermarket Shelves Will Quickly Become Empty
The globalist European Union (“EU”) does not seem concerned with the fact that without European farmers the 750 million people of the EU and wider Europe would be without food production on the entire European continent. All food would have to be imported using up yet more fossil fuels in transport – an obvious contradiction to the fossil-fuel/CO2 reduction agenda. Clearly, the real agenda involves creating dependency; and suppressing local or regional self-sufficiency. Furthermore, if peak oil manifests the so-called ‘cheap’ food imports to the EU will stop due to a shortage of oil and vastly inflated oil prices.
[Note: In another section of the article not included here, Keenan explores whether “Peak Oil” is a hoax and a propaganda tool to justify higher prices and to promote so-called “green” energy.]
A country overly dependent on food imports and oil imports is like a hospital patient on life support waiting for the power plug to be pulled out of the socket. Wherever you live in the world, access to imported food depends on the availability of affordable oil.
Note also that in this era of globalisation, prices can be rigged, and often do not reflect the reality that shipping food thousands of miles requires vastly more fuel and labour than producing food in your own country or region. If these externalities i.e., the true costs of transport, labour, and the polluting impacts on nature, were factored in, then the price of imports would be higher. It does not make sense to ship food thousands of miles when it can be produced within your own locality, country or region.
Given that Ukraine is a huge country with vast tracts of rich fertile land, we can see that the country has long-term strategic importance. It appears the globalists’ war against humanity, includes this war against farming. and against local food security. Author, Rosa Koire has described that UN Agenda 2030 aims to push people off of the land, become more dependent, and come into the cities:
“UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is a global plan that is implemented locally. Over 600 cities in the US are members… The costs are paid by taxpayers… Although counties say that they support agricultural uses, eating locally produced food, farmer’s markets, etc, in fact, there are so many regulations restricting water and land use (there are scenic corridors, inland rural corridors, baylands corridors, area plans, specific plans, redevelopment plans, huge fees, fines) that farmers are losing their lands altogether… The push is for people to get off of the land, become more dependent, come into the cities…” – Rosa Koire
The EU/UN/WEF Technocratic War on Farmers: Climate Alarmism, Corporate Control, the IoT, and Electrification of Everything
The World Economic Forum (“WEF”) reset agenda involves the worldwide adoption of smart devices that utilise electromagnetic frequency technologies, specifically, the Internet of Things (“IoT”). The IoT is supported by 5th generation cellular technology, 5G. Note, however, that thousands of scientific studies assert that EMF-based technologies can be harmful to human health. According to the WEF:
The Internet of Things (IoT) now connects 22 billion devices in real-time, ranging from cars to hospital beds, electric grids and water station pumps, to kitchen ovens and agricultural irrigation systems… this number is expected to reach 50 billion or more by 2030.
In the farming sector, this involves the electrification and wireless connection of everything under the misleading banner of combatting climate change. Smart technology ostensibly marketed for achieving nonsensical “net zero carbon” is already being implemented in the agricultural sector. Consider this quote from a report to the UK’s Food & Drink Sector Council, by its Agricultural Productivity Working Group:
“If the net zero carbon ambition is to be achieved by our industry, electrification of heavy farm machinery must be facilitated. Nationwide reinforcement of rural electricity infrastructure, including buffer battery storage systems, will be essential to deliver the required electrical flow for ‘smart charging’ of multiple high-capacity batteries… in the farming calendar. … Facilitating the management of land by those who will adopt new tools, technologies and practices could have a subsequent positive impact on productivity. The following actions are required: 1. Invest in 5G infrastructure to enable required future data flow 2. Upgrade the rural electricity network to enable electrification of farm equipment… ” – UK Food and Drink Sector Council
Clearly, there is another agenda behind the WEF reset, and UN Agenda 2030, that has nothing to do with real environmentalism (see also the article ‘Driving an electric car is fake environmentalism’). I note that the author Colin Todhunter specialises in development, food and agriculture and that he describes this agenda in a recent article as follows:
The plan also involves removing farmers from the land (AI-driven farmerless farms) and filling much of the countryside with wind farms and solar panels… this misguided agenda is a recipe for food insecurity… neoliberal trade policies that lead to the import of produce that undermines domestic production and undercuts prices… or the implementation of net zero emissions policies that set unrealistic targets…. farming is deliberately being made impossible or financially non-viable. The aim is to drive most farmers off the land and ram through an agenda that by its very nature seems likely to produce shortages and undermine food security… Big agribusiness and ‘philanthropic’ foundations position themselves as the saviours of humanity … Integral to this ‘food transition’ is the ‘climate emergency’ narrative, a commentary that has been carefully constructed and promoted… This predatory commercialisation of the countryside uses flawed premises and climate alarmism to legitimise the roll-out of technologies to supposedly deliver us all from climate breakdown and Malthusian catastrophe.
Note also that the wind-solar-electric economy being promoted by the UN/WEF is fake environmentalism as the production of millions of large batteries for electric vehicles involves extensive use of fossil fuels during the mining, production and processing of rare earth metals. Furthermore, electric vehicles are still driven by electricity produced from fossil fuels and will most likely continue to be. Despite decades of government subsidies wind power provides less than 5% of the world’s energy, and solar just 1%. The use of electricity to charge vehicles and devices is also an extremely inefficient use of energy, according to a study by the European Association for Battery Electric Vehicles commissioned by the European Commission (EC):
The ‘Well-to-Tank’ energy efficiency (from the primary energy source to the electrical plug), taking into account the energy consumed by the production and distribution of the electricity, is estimated at around 37%.
Furthermore, the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy towards a wind-solar-electric economy in itself requires a vast expenditure of fossil-fuel energy to re-purpose the entire worldwide industrial system, as well as build vast new energy grids for wind and solar energy. The idea that this new economy reduces CO2 emissions is simply not true – it has just been marketed as such. A new electric industrial framework in itself will still be very polluting to land, air, and water in virtually the same ways as the old framework as it creates more and more “product” to be marketed and sold, such as electric cars, which we are now incorrectly told is okay because its “green product.”
A new research letter published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters indicates that boiling tap water for just five minutes could reduce the amount of microplastics by up to 90 percent. Researchers from Guangzhou Medical University and the Center for Environmental Microplastics Studies in China recommend boiling water in nonplastic electric kettles on gas stoves to remove impurities such as polystyrene, polyethylene, and polypropylene.
According to the researchers, boiling water has been used since ancient times as a purification method in some Asian countries. “This simple boiling-water strategy can ‘decontaminate’ [nano- and microplastics] from household tap water and has the potential for harmlessly alleviating human intake of [nano- and microplastics] through water consumption,” they wrote.
Harder Water Captures More Microplastics
Water of a certain alkalinity and hardness typically produces incrustants—insoluble mineral remnants like calcium carbonate—upon boiling. For the study, the researchers hypothesized that calcium carbonate encounters nanoplastics as it crystallizes in hot water. The calcium carbonate then encapsulates the nanoplastics as it becomes the flaky crust you sometimes see at the bottom of your tea kettle.
The study showed that boiling hard tap water containing 300 milligrams per liter (mg/L-1) of calcium carbonate reduced nano- and microplastics by nearly 90 percent, while water containing 80 mg/L-1 reduced particles by 84 percent. In soft water samples containing less than 60 mg/L-1 of calcium carbonate, boiling still reduced plastics by over 25 percent.
The Problem With Millions of Tons of Plastic
Because of our heavy reliance on plastic, nanoplastics and microplastics are common in groundwater and surface water around the globe. Microplastics are truly everywhere, having been detected as far south as Antarctica and north as the Arctic. These insidious particles have even been detected at the peak of Mt. Everest and down in the Mariana Trench. In fact, plastic comprises the largest portion of marine garbage; according to a 2020 study published in Science of the Total Environment, more than 8 million tons of plastic entered the ocean in 2017. That number represented over 33 times more plastic than the amount that had entered the ocean in 2015, indicating a disturbingly worsening problem.
As plastic disintegrates, microscopic pieces are released into the environment. Microplastics are typically less than 5 millimeters in size but can break down into even smaller pieces called nanoplastics. Nanoplastics are nearly impossible to see at 1 micrometer in size. The micro and nano pieces have been found in water, air, soil, food, and table salt, according to some studies.
The health effects of nano- and microplastics haven’t been fully realized. Still, research has suggested that their accumulation in the human body can cause insulin resistance, liver metabolic disorder, DNA damage, organ dysfunction, immune response issues, neurotoxicity, and reproductive harm.
While the research team only focused on three types of nanoparticles, the discovery is a boon for public health. The team estimated that people who boil their water take in two to five times less nanoplastics than those who do not.
“Drinking boiled water apparently is a viable long-term strategy for reducing global exposure to [nano- and microplastics],” the research team wrote, adding that it is likely more effective than drinking bottled water, especially bottled in plastic. The average liter-sized bottle of water contains 240,000 pieces of nanoplastic, which is 10 to 100 times more particles than previously thought.
