Struggles in Steel: A Story of African American Steel Workers
Directed by Ray Henderson and Tony Barber (1996)
Film Review
This documentary explores the extreme racial discrimination African Americans experienced in America’s defunct steel industry. In steel mills across Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Gary and Chicago, Black employees were always limited to the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs – for example the so-called “man killing” jobs inside the coke furnaces.
It was virtually impossible for Black workers to be promoted to foreman or manager, even when they undertook specialized training. Instead companies would hire an inexperienced white workers and expect black workers to train them as foremen.
As a result of a lawsuit Black steelworkers won in 1974, the union and nine steel companies signed a consent decree requiring Black workers to be paid and promoted based on the same criteria as white workers. However ten years later, most of the mills covered by the consent decree began shutting down.
The filmmakers interview Black steelworkers who blame the demise of the US steel industry on companies’ failure to “tool up” and the failure of the US government to to protect the industry (via tariffs and imports) against cheap steel imports.
The collapse of the steel industry devastated Black communities in Pittsburgh and across the Midwest.* With the loss of good paying union jobs, the Black middle class would vanish in little over a decade.
*Simultaneous with the steel industry collapse, hundreds of US manufacturers moved to (non-union) low wage Southern states or to third world sweatshops.

U.S. health officials, with unflagging support from the Biden Administration, are charging full speed ahead on plans to vaccinate children as young as 5 for COVID, despite the extremely low risk the virus poses to kids, and against the urgent warnings of scientists and doctors.
VAERS also received 111 reports of COVID-vaccine-related deaths in young adults in their late teens and twenties.
As The Defender reported last week, 21-year-old college student Shawn Kuhn, a senior majoring in exercise and sports science who chose to get fully vaccinated, died on Oct. 11 from “COVID complications.”
Shawn Kuhn, a fully vaccinated senior at the University of Georgia who was majoring in exercise and sports science, died Oct. 11, more than six weeks after developing COVID symptoms.

— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) October 14, 2021
Kuhn’s death raised questions about the potential for fully vaccinated people to develop antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). Since the vaccines entered clinical trials, scientists have expressed worries about the “ticking time bomb” phenomenon of ADE, which makes vaccinated individuals more, not less, susceptible to severe illness.
Pressure not to report adverse events means that these tragic injuries in young people likely represent a drop in a much deeper bucket. Even assuming a willingness to report reactions, doctors often do not know what an adverse event looks like.
For months, prominent doctors and scientists around the world have issued urgent warnings about the catastrophically bad safety profile of the Pfizer vaccine and other COVID injections, strongly arguing against their use in children.
Several Scandinavian countries paused the use of the Moderna vaccine in younger age groups, concerned with the risk of myocarditis — a move that shamed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) into delaying its decision about whether to authorize (on an emergency basis) Moderna’s shot for American 12- to 17-year-olds.
Unfortunately, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are proceeding full steam ahead when it comes to authorizing the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID shot for younger children.
All signs indicate that, by hook or by crook, the agencies that are supposed to protect our children are determined to ignore disproportionate risks and safety signals in order to rush the experimental injections into kids’ arms.
Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told thousands who gathered in New York’s Times Square on Oct. 16, “We have no business doing this to little children,” stating that subjecting children to the adverse events of COVID vaccination is unethical and is “medical malpractice.”
A foregone conclusion?
The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) will meet Oct. 26, to deliberate about authorizing emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine in children ages 5 to 11.
FDA claims it will proceed carefully, “aware of the sensitivities people have about vaccinating children.”
However, the agency’s track record of ignoring or hiding data — and the sunny predictions of former FDA Commissioner and current Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb — make VRBPAC’s green-lighting of the shots for grade-schoolers practically a foregone conclusion.
In advance of the anticipated FDA authorization, CDC has already issued guidelines on vaccinating children ages 5 to 11, and the Biden administration has purchased 65 million Pfizer pediatric doses — “more than enough to fully vaccinate … all 28 million 5 to 11-year-olds.”
Today, the White House detailed its plan, already in place, to lean on schools and pediatricians to help vaccinate 28 million children.
These actions suggest the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), scheduled to meet Nov. 2 and 3, is poised to rubber-stamp FDA’s decision.
And if ACIP were somehow to fail to play ball, CDC’s rule-by-fiat Director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, has already shown herself more than capable of overruling her own advisers.
Another round of fear falls flat
Attempting to lay the psychological groundwork for FDA’s impending authorization, New York Times science writer Apoorva Mandavilli asserted on Oct. 6 that almost 900,000 children had been hospitalized with COVID since the beginning of the pandemic.
The Times was forced to retract Mandavilli’s whopper — a 14-fold exaggeration — the next day.
Propaganda watchers noted the “whole-cloth falsehood” was of a piece with the “shameless scaremongering” that has been a prominent feature of the Gray Lady’s playbook, both during and before COVID.
Last May, in studies that a science writer should have been well aware of, California researchers reported that pediatric hospitalizations for COVID were being overcounted by at least 40%, “greatly overestimat[ing] the true burden of COVID-19 disease in children.”
Contrary to Mandavilli’s absurdly inflated claims, pediatric hospitalization numbers for COVID are “vanishingly small.”
Agreeing with this assessment, pediatric specialists at University of California-San Francisco emphasized, “Scientific and media reports that inaccurately portray the risk of COVID-19 to children can do harm by alarming parents.”

The desire to preserve the environment and protect future generations is largely universal, but are Personal Carbon Allowances and a system of surveillance capitalism, with tremendous controls over human behavior, the way to accomplish this objective?
Your purchase is declined. No hamburger for you.
If this seems far-fetched, just consider that less than two years ago, lockdowns, universal mask-wearing and so-called “health passports” also would have appeared, to most, to be the subject of a dystopian science-fiction thriller.
The impetus for the “no hamburger for you” scenario stems from proposals, increasingly popular in scientific and policymaking circles, for the implementation of “personal carbon allowances” (PCAs).
The PCA concept itself is not new. In 2008, for example, the UK government examined a proposal for PCAs as a means of reducing emissions.
However, the COVID pandemic, and the extraordinary measures implemented in response to it, may have helped lay the groundwork for public acceptance of the PCA scheme.
An August 2021 article in Nature, “Personal Carbon Allowances Revisited,” made precisely this point. The article directly connected the measures imposed during the pandemic with the argument in favor of PCAs.
The authors emphasized the “need for a low-carbon recovery from the COVID-19 crisis” via the use of PCAs, noting that during the pandemic, “restrictions on individuals for the sake of public health, and forms of individual accountability and responsibility that were unthinkable only one year before, have been adopted by millions of people.”
According to the article, “people may be more prepared to accept the tracking and limitations related to PCAs to achieve a safer climate and the many other benefits … associated with addressing the climate crisis.”
The authors also argued that “other lessons that could be drawn [from the pandemic] relate to the public acceptance in some countries of additional surveillance and control in exchange for greater safety.”
This latter quote may bring to mind the famous words of Benjamin Franklin: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Two weeks after the article ran in Nature, Popular Science ran a this article — “How Personal Carbon Allowances Can Help Normal People Fight Climate Change.”
Subtitled “The timing might finally be right for this carbon-reduction strategy,” the article drew an analogy between PCAs and the types of allowances children receive from their parents.
What, exactly, is a PCA? The Nature article described it this way:
“A PCA scheme would entail all adults receiving an equal, tradable carbon allowance that reduces over time in line with national targets … encompassing individuals’ carbon emissions relating to travel, space heating, water heating and electricity.”
In other words, each individual would receive an equal allocation of carbon that they would be “entitled” to, and the consumption of which would be tracked.
In practice, this system would work like this, according to the Nature article:
“Allowances were envisioned to be deducted from the personal budget with every payment for transport fuel, home-heating fuels and electricity bills. People in shortage would be able to purchase additional units in the personal carbon market from those with excess to sell.”
This system can be compared to the pandemic-related measures imposed over the past 18-plus months, including the recent advent of digital “COVID passports,” where the unvaccinated are effectively barred from participation in numerous social activities, ranging from shopping to dining out.
In Lithuania, entry to supermarkets is prohibited for those who don’t have a digital “COVID pass.” Some Nigerian states have barred unvaccinated citizens from access to banks.
And in Pakistan, the mobile phone SIM cards of many unvaccinated individuals have been blocked.
A ‘great reset’ in how we live our day-to-day lives?
Over the past year-and-a-half, several new and closely related words and phrases have crept into our daily vernacular. These include “Build Back Better,” the “new normal,” the “carbon credit economy,” the “fourth industrial revolution,” “transhumanism” and the “Great Reset” — the latter of which is warmly promoted by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and by several hundred multinational corporations, ranging from MasterCard to Moderna, that are listed as Great Reset “partners.”
What these terms all reflect is a new, digitally based economy and society where one’s movements, transactions, interactions and behaviors are all monitored, and are connected to “targets” which in turn are closely tied to purportedly “green” policies and benchmarks, such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The intentions of such a carbon credit-based economy, or “green” society, were long the talk of “conspiracy theorists” even prior to the pandemic.
However, many such objectives are now being openly proposed by influential organizations.
A 2019 video by the WEF, for instance — “A feast for the future” — suggested that in the not-too-distant future, humans could have the privilege of enjoying “one beef burger, two portions of fish and one or two eggs per week” in order to “save the planet.”

The medical profession is fast becoming an unattractive prospect to young people, many of whom are not at all interested in become just another Big Pharma pawn.
“Brain drain,” as they call it – this is when there is not enough interested talent to maintain a profession – is spreading like wildfire throughout the health care sector because nobody wants to be force-vaccinated just to keep their jobs.
While there are, in fact, other industries doing the same, there is arguably no industry more fascist than today’s medical profession, which no longer respects freedom of choice and the right to resist pharmaceutical drugging.
Hospitals all across the country are seeing their staff flee due to jab mandates, which has left many of them unable to operate as normal. In upstate New York, as one example, an entire health system’s maternity ward has had to close down due to a lack of nurses.
“Healthcare professionals who choose to make their own personal health decisions – the same people who were celebrated last year as front-line heroes – are now being fired or forced to resign because of this mandate,” writes Simon Black for The Daily Bell.
“That’s bad enough … But the potential to drive good doctors and nurses out of the U.S. healthcare system goes far beyond executive orders,” he adds, referring to fake “president” Joe Biden’s mandatory vaccination EO.
If you can even believe it, doctors in the United States who dare to even so much as question the “safety and effectiveness” of Fauci Flu shots are being told that they could lose their medical licenses for spreading “misinformation.”
Anything that does not align with the official plandemic narrative is now off-limits, says the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), which basically governs how medicine is practiced in America.
No longer are doctors and nurses allowed to think for themselves and come to their own conclusions about how to treat their patients – or themselves, for that matter. Everything is dictated from the top down now, which is systematically destroying health care in this country.

Video posted to social media shows dozens of people walking up the steps with boots in their hands
Seattle Police Department officers and firefighters who were fired for not complying with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate marched up the steps of city hall to turn in their boots.
Footage taken from Seattle City Hall and posted to social media shows dozens of people walking up the steps with boots in their hands, preparing to turn them in after they were let go for not complying with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The scene comes after the city’s deadline for first responders to receive the vaccine expired at midnight on Tuesday, leaving many in the department without jobs after failing to comply.

The Dominion “glitches,” as defined by Democrats and news media as they were uncovered, were favorable to Biden and first discovered in Georgia. Later, it was revealed the same software was also behind the glitch that reversed 5,500 votes in Antrim County, Michigan. After the Michigan glitch was fixed, it was discovered that President Donald Trump actually won the county by around 2,500 votes.
Nancy Pelosi had alarming connections to Dominion Voting Systems, the company with all the voting machines that created more votes for Joe Biden in the 2020 Election.
Their DC lobbyist is Nancy Pelosi’s longtime aide. The company hired Brownstein Farber Hyatt & Schreck earlier in 2020. Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi’s former chief of staff, is one of the lobbyists on the account.

The Victory of the Underdog
The nurse plunked down ten crisp hundred-dollar bills, looked the pharmacist in the eye, and said,
“Spray it on the floor. Don’t inject it. I’ll pay you 1,000 dollars if you fill out the card and say I got the vaccine.”
One can draw two inferences from this story:
One, those health care professionals in the know do not want to risk taking the jab. Two, they feel confident they are better protected with something else – and that something is Ivermectin.
By August 13, 2021, the CDC reported Ivermectin prescriptions had reached 88,000 per week, up 24-fold from the baseline of 3,600 per week. Based upon increasing popularity, it appears this number has risen many times again over the past two months, easily reaching into the millions.

Up-to-date October data are not public for obvious reasons.
But what has been released are the daily COVID cases and deaths, and these tell a striking tale. The current graph of the United States COVID cases has taken on the “Ivermectin Fingerprint” pattern so familiar to us from India, Peru, and Indonesia after they adopted Ivermectin.
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/indias-ivermectin-blackout
It is familiar to anyone who read the book Ivermectin for the World or Dr. Pierre Kory’s peer-reviewed article, “Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19.”
https://www.amazon.com/Ivermectin-World-Justus-R-Hope/dp/1737415909
It is also familiar to anyone who has reviewed Juan Chamie’s graphs.
A study by Hellwig and Maia published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents in January 2021 described the much lower rate of COVID-19 infection in those countries that routinely used prophylactic chemotherapy (PCT), including Ivermectin.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7698683/
These researchers noticed a strong negative correlation between Ivermectin use and COVID-19 cases – ranging from a reduction of between 30 to 90%.
Now, some nine months later, we see the near-complete eradication of COVID-19 from Uttar Pradesh, India, after a systematic test and treat program coordinated by the WHO that involved the distribution of millions of Ivermectin-containing home treatment kits.

Today, we notice the United Kingdom, with nearly 70% of its citizens fully vaccinated, has encountered an unrelenting rise in Delta cases. Their Delta Surge began a month before the United States, and it is lingering longer. If the vaccines worked, the United Kingdom should be performing better than the US. But the reverse has occurred.
The United States, with its vaccinations stagnated at 57.3%, is enjoying a massive drop in cases.
At nearly the same vaccination rate as the US, 55%, Australia is seeing a deadly and unforgiving Delta surge amidst harsh lockdown measures that are universally failing. As a result, their cases are going through the roof despite mandatory mass vaccinations. At the same time, the United States’ cases are dropping like a stone.
The reason? Ivermectin.
In Australia, Ivermectin has been banned, even for off-label use, since September 10, 2021.

They have paid a terrible price in cases and deaths – despite having almost the same vaccination rate as the United States.
On September 10, Australia averaged just 1673 new COVID cases per day. However, after the Ivermectin ban, cases surged, and by October 10, they had risen to 2295 per day, a jump of 37%. These figures were compiled by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE).
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
The United Kingdom, with 66.7% of the population fully vaccinated, went from an average of 37,691 new daily cases to 40,050 in the same time frame. However, the United States enjoyed a drop from an average of 145,666 daily new cases on September 10 to just 96,565 on October 10, a decline of more than one-third.
Why?
There are many reasons, but the greatest has to do with freedom – creating off-label access to Ivermectin. In the United States, we continue to enjoy a patient’s right to choose their doctor and their medical treatment – at least when we are out of the hospital.
