An ex-colleague of mine in Australia, 51yo, died suddenly last week. He took sick leave and was subsequently found dead at home. He was overweight and a smoker, which is being used to explain why he died. This immediately silences any questions about how many mRNA doses he might have received during the most aggressive propaganda campaign in history posing falsely as “public health”.

This is a trailer to a documentary being released on 11 August 2025.

The React19 Scientific Publications Directory is a collection of peer reviewed case reports and studies citing adverse effects post COVID vaccination.

Too Many Dead is a report about Australia’s excess death since the vaccine rollout. And politicians – who counted every case of covid on their podiums of truth when they needed you to be afraid – are radio silent. In lockstep.

Data from Japan was discussed in this June press conference, connecting excess deaths to the injectable products. This health crisis is being experienced across the globe. And politicians – who counted every case of covid on their podiums of truth when they needed you to be afraid – are radio silent. In lockstep.

Despite this horrific time, all is not lost for those who recognise the business model and know to avoid it.

There are already thousands of cures for cancer. Oncologists are training GPs to use simple, cheap and safe repurposed drugs and the successes are often miraculous. Dr William Makis is the best known, and he is being attacked by politicians for his threat to profit margins of their corporate partners. Doctors across the globe are implementing his protocols and saving lives. Link to article on his latest success story.

The suppression of successful cures is not new. Dr Stanislaw Burzynski was targeted in the 1990s for daring to cure patients with a simple treatment that challenged Big Pharma’s profits. Burzynski: The Cancer Cure Cover-Up.

Countdown begins for Republic of Srpska

Separatist Bosnian Serb leader Dodik removed from office - DNyuz
Stephen Karganovic

The chronic political crisis in the Republic of Srpska, one of two ethnically-based constituent entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has taken a grave turn for the worse.

The chronic political crisis in the Republic of Srpska, one of two ethnically-based constituent entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has taken a grave turn for the worse. On 26 February, the illegitimate federal Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, acting under the thumb of the equally illegitimate international “High Representative,” who is actually the colonial governor in the supposedly sovereign country, issued a politically tainted verdict against Milorad Dodik, President of the Republic of Srpska. Dodik had been put on trial on the spurious charge of “defying” the edicts of the High Representative. To no one’s surprise, he was found guilty. The court sentenced him to one year’s imprisonment and banned him from holding public office for six years. Practically all avenues of appeal having now been exhausted, the Electoral Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina wasted no time to meet on Wednesday 6 August and to officially annul Milorad Dodik’s Presidential mandate. The Commission now has ninety days to organise a snap election to fill the vacancy it had capriciously created in the post of President of the Republic of Srpska.

Milorad Dodik thus joins other European political figures, such as Marine Le Pen in France and Kalin Georgescu and Diana Sosoaka in Romania, who have been disqualified from participation in politics for professing banned opinions and advocating proscribed political positions. The pattern is exactly the same and it is being repeated. It no longer matters what their respective electorates prefer and for whom they wish to vote. The voters are denied the opportunity to express their preference if there is the slightest possibility that they might elect someone whose policies are incompatible with the objectives of the unelected and unaccountable globalist deep state cabal which, in the collective West and its dependencies, is the real government.

The farce of “democracy” and “rules based order” can be contemplated in microcosm in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the sordid political drama which is the subject of this report is unfolding. Supposedly an independent country since the signing in 1995 of the Dayton agreement which ended the civil war, and featuring all the outward trappings of “Western democracy,” Bosnia and Herzegovina has in fact been ruled in neo-colonial fashion by a High Representative who is appointed by the “international community” and invested with dictatorial powers. Over the years, the scope of the High Representative’s authority has been increasing steadily and by design at the expense of the autonomous ethnic entities. Officials in that position promulgated and annulled laws, ousted democratically elected local officials who were deemed uncooperative, and arbitrarily imposed institutions they themselves invented, which are not contemplated either in the Bosnian Constitution or the Dayton Peace Agreement. The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina which tried and convicted Milorad Dodik is a conspicuous example of such a constitutionally spurious institution which came into being ex nihilo by decree of a previous High Representative.

To make the irony complete, the credentials of Christian Schmidt, the individual currently claiming to be the High Representative, are as dubious as is the legal standing of the “court” which tried and convicted Dodik. Schmidt’s appointment was accomplished by a sleight of hand on the part of the collective West, never having been submitted for approval to the UN Security Council, as established procedure provides.

The “offence” imputed to Dodik is that he signed into law a measure enacted by the National Assembly providing that decrees issued by the arguably illegitimate High Representative would not be enforced on Republic of Srpska territory. Invoking his alleged powers as High Representative, Schmidt warned Dodik to refrain from doing that and preventively inserted in the Bosnia-Herzegovina criminal code a section which defines non- enforcement of High Representative’s decrees as a criminal offence. In the face of Dodik’s non-compliance, Schmidt ordered the public prosecutor’s office to seek Dodik’s indictment pursuant to the section of the criminal code he himself had created for precisely that purpose. So as matters presently stand, Milorad Dodik has been removed as President of the Republic of Srpska, the office to which he was legally elected by his constituents. That was achieved through a verdict delivered by a constitutionally illegal court acting on the basis of a rogue provision in the criminal code dictated without any legislative input by a foreign official illegitimately exercising a power that he does not have.

It is difficult to imagine, or to stage, a more colossal farce.

There are, of course, solid reasons why for a long time Dodik’s ouster has been insistently sought by the powers that be. His background is shady, like that of most Balkan politicians, but that certainly is not the real reason for their animosity. Initially, in the 1990s, he was in fact the West’s favourite in post-Dayton Bosnia, avidly promoted by Madeleine Albright of all people. The particulars of his road to Damascus conversion and subsequent meanderings certainly bear careful analysis, but the empirical net result of it is that by the time in 2006 that he became Prime Minister Dodik was on the outs with his original mentors. He had now become a forceful advocate of close relations with Russia and a determined opponent of Bosnia’s accession to NATO, an issue over which the Republic of Srpska wields veto power. He further infuriated his former mentors by steadfastly opposing the evisceration of the Dayton Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and by resisting fiercely the erosion of Republic of Srpska’s autonomous status which is guaranteed by it.

It must be admitted that the collective West has now come within striking distance of achieving its goal to snuff out the Republic of Srpska. The Dodik removal operation seems now to have been brought to its conclusion, and in a way that observes the outward forms of legality, or so it would appear if one does not delve too deeply into the intricacies of the matter. In relatively short order, a snap Presidential election will take place in Republika Srpska. The collective West will concentrate its still formidable resources in that tiny but disproportionately significant point of the globe to ensure that the Republika Srpska Gorbachev is duly elected and can launch the process of its dismantlement and geostrategic reorientation of what is left of it. Mechanisms to accomplish that are already in place and a possible mass boycott of the discontented Serbian population is unlikely to affect anything. The electoral law currently in force does not require that a minimum number of eligible voters should take part for the election to be deemed valid. With reliable formulas of electoral engineering, helped along with copious quantities of cash, even in the event that on election day all patriotic Serbs should stay at home, the “right” candidate might receive only a handful of votes but his “victory” would nevertheless be easily assured. Prompt recognition of the bogus outcome by the “international community” will do the rest.

Like most Balkan politicians, Dodik has failed to prepare another figure of comparable stature who might succeed him and continue what was good in his policies. That failure will soon take its toll because none of the mediocrities and yes men surrounding him has the charisma and attributes that are necessary to prevail in the coming uphill battle to prevent Republika Srpska from falling lock, stock, and barrel into the hands of its enemies.

The failure to prepare however is not to be laid just at Dodik’s but also at Russia’s door. As in neighbouring Serbia and many other places the policy of all eggs in one basket is once again proving to be erroneous and detrimental to Russia’s interests. Non-interference in other countries’ affairs and working with the established authorities is a fine principle, but only in its dogmatically overzealous and ultimately counter-productive application would that exclude the prudent policy of cultivating capable individuals and amicable political forces. They should be there to act when necessary as an effective counterbalance to the ruthless interference that Russia’s unyielding adversaries incessantly and everywhere engage in.

‘With or without Russia, Iran will block American corridor in Caucasus’

A senior Iranian official says the country would oppose the establishment of a US-controlled transportation and energy corridor in Armenia, which he says would create serious risks to regional stability.

Ali Akbar Velayati, who serves as a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said on Saturday that Iran would block the establishment of the so-called Zangezur corridor, which seeks to connect Azerbaijan to its exclave of Nakhchivan through the Armenian territory.

“The security in Southern Caucasus is at stake with the implementation of this plot … and Iran has emphasized that with or without Russia it would move to (preserve) stability in Southern Caucasus,” Velayati told the Tasnim news agency.

He said that Iran believes that Russia is strategically opposed to the plan for establishing a US-controlled corridor in Armenia.

Under a deal signed between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Washington on Friday, Armenia granted exclusive rights to the US to develop a corridor in its southern Syunik province, which borders Iran, to connect Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan.

Iran has for long opposed the idea, saying it would change the geopolitical order of the Southern Caucasus and would restrict Iran’s ability to use transport networks in the region.

Velayati said US President Donald Trump’s touting of the transport corridor as a way of establishing peace in the region is just “meaningless”.

The official, who served as Iran’s foreign minister from 1981 to 1997, said that the project would lead to the disintegration of Armenia and is opposed by the people in the country.

He said the corridor would also lead to the increased presence of the US and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the region.

“We will not allow NATO to approach Iran’s northern borders,” he said.

Covid Vax Victim Opens Fire at CDC Headquarters

By Anna Young

A cop was killed when an unhinged masked gunman who blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for an apparent illness unleashed a hail of bullets outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta on Friday, according to police and reports.

The deranged suspect, who died at the scene, opened fire on at least four CDC buildings and then stormed into a building across the street that houses a CVS at Georgia’s Emory University around 4:50 p.m., forcing students to shelter in place on the last day of the summer term, authorities said.

Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said the alleged shooter, described as a white man, sprayed multiple rounds at law enforcement and the health agency, which also houses a daycare caring for 92 children, all of whom were unharmed.

Witnesses said the shooter was armed with multiple guns – two handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun – and was wearing what appeared to be a surgical mask when he “targeted” at the CDC’s buildings, CNN reported.

One CDC employee told the outlet he was leaving work when he saw the suspected gunman approach the steps of the agency’s campus, set down a backpack, and fire away at the building.

“We have friends and their kids who were on lockdown,” the unidentified worker said, adding that he heard at least seven shots when he called his wife to make sure his children, who attend the agency’s daycare, were safe.

“I have very close colleagues who were locked down in the office at CDC, you know, cowering or sort of sheltering in place.”

Chilling photos shared on social media showed bullet holes piercing the windows of the health agency’s headquarters, located right next to the university.

The CDC campus remained on lockdown for hours after the shooting, as officials investigated and worked to reunite the daycare’s children with their parents, officials said.

“We at the CDC are heartbroken by today’s attack on our Roybal Campus,” health officials said in a statement.

“A courageous local law enforcement officer gave their life… after a gunman opened fire on at least four CDC buildings. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of everyone at CDC. We are actively coordinating with federal, state, and local partners to fully investigate the shooter and this tragic crime.”

The crazed gunman was later found on the second floor of the CVS building with a fatal gunshot wound, after shooting DeKalb County officer David Rose, police said.

The heroic officer, who leaves behind his pregnant wife and two children, was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

“This evening, there is a wife without a husband,” DeKalb County CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson said at a press conference, where officers praised their fallen brother’s unwavering commitment to his community.

“There are three children, one unborn, without a father. There is a mother and a father, as well as siblings who also share in this traumatic loss. Let’s join together to give this family the support it needs during this traumatic loss.”

No other civilians or police were injured in the shooting.

Police said they have not yet determined whether the gunman’s fatal gunshot was self-inflicted.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens ominously said that the shooter “is a known person that may have some interest in certain things that I can’t reiterate right now.”

The suspect’s father, however, had alerted authorities that he believed his son was suicidal shortly before the shooting, CNN reported.

While it wasn’t immediately clear how much time had passed between the call and the brazen attack, law enforcement told the outlet the shooter was possibly sick, attributing the supposed ailment to the COVID-19 vaccine, according to police interviews with the suspect’s family.

Police have not publicly disclosed a motive behind the vicious shooting.

Shortly after gunshots erupted, Emory University officials issued an urgent alert around 5 p.m., reporting an active shooter near the Emory Point CVS on campus and urging all students to “RUN” and “HIDE.”

Local, state and federal officers swarmed the scene, with horrifying social media videos showing a rapid barrage of gunfire as first responders raced to the college.

In one video filmed by a nearby resident, eight gunshots ring out, followed by a brief pause, then more than a dozen pop in rapid succession.

Yasser Abu Shabab: Israeli-backed Warlord Looting Aid to Gaza

Posted on by

William Van Wagenen

AUG 8, 2025

Tel Aviv promotes a warlord with a criminal past to impose its starvation and displacement agenda on Palestinians in Gaza under the guise of humanitarian governance.

In late July, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an op-ed attributed to Yasser Abu Shabab, a Palestinian warlord with a criminal past, portraying him and his militia as potential saviors of Gaza.

The piece, echoing Israeli talking points, suggested that US and Arab support for Abu Shabab could swiftly “transform” most of the strip “from a war zone into functioning communities,” ostensibly free from Israeli bombardment and flush with humanitarian aid.

But behind this carefully crafted image lies an Israeli proxy – a man embedded in organized crime and political subterfuge, now repurposed to advance Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to starve, displace, and ultimately ethnically cleanse Palestinians in Gaza.

Who is Abu Shabab?

Abu Shabab, 35, hails from Rafah in southern Gaza and belongs to the Bedouin Tarabin tribe, which spans Gaza, Israel’s Naqab, and Egypt’s Sinai. Before Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on 7 October 2023, he was notorious for his involvement in smuggling weapons, drugs, and contraband through Gaza’s tunnels and border crossings. He was also believed to have ties to extremist groups in Sinai, including the local ISIS affiliate, formerly known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.

Hamas authorities had imprisoned him for murder and drug trafficking, but he was released in October 2023 when Israeli air raids forced the movement to open its prisons.

Since then, Abu Shabab has rebranded himself as a “nationalist,” a “humanitarian,” and even a “liberator.”

But these claims are widely rejected by Palestinians, including members of his own tribe. A senior Tarabin elder publicly disowned him, labeling him a “looter and bandit” operating solely for personal gain. Aid officials echoed this assessment. One aid coordinator called him a “criminal, a fugitive … untrustworthy and mentally unstable.”

His own relatives have accused him of collaborating with the occupation military in targeted killings of Palestinians and have called for his “liquidation,” declaring his “blood is forfeit.”

Starving as warfare

After the 7 October resistance operation by Palestinian factions, then-defense minister Yoav Gallant – now a fugitive from international justice – announced a “complete siege” on Gaza, cutting off all access to food, water, fuel, and electricity. “We are fighting animals and are acting accordingly,” Gallant said in Hebrew.

Days later, a detailed proposal to forcibly expel all Palestinians from Gaza, under the pretext of protecting them, was prepared by Israel’s Ministry of Information.

Weeks later, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for both Gallant and Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare.

In response to mounting global scrutiny, Tel Aviv pivoted to a more insidious strategy: weaponizing hunger through sabotaging the existing UN aid distribution system.

In January 2024, Israel launched a smear campaign against the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the main provider of aid to Gaza, falsely claiming it was infiltrated by Hamas operatives who took part in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. The campaign was successful in pressuring western countries to cut the UN refugee agency’s funding.

Simultaneously, Israel slashed the number of aid trucks allowed into Gaza. By February, only 62 trucks entered daily – a fraction of the 500 required to prevent mass hunger.

Israel ensured even this amount of food would not reach those who needed it by carrying out a string of airstrikes against members of Gaza’s Hamas-run civilian police force. The attacks caused officers, who were protecting the convoys, to withdraw from the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing.

According to the Washington Post, the amount of aid entering Gaza “collapsed,” as the convoys delivering it were then exposed to widespread looting by criminal gangs.

In May 2024, the occupation state further moved to sabotage the UN aid system by occupying and closing the Rafah crossing with Egypt, the route through which most aid had flowed, and redirecting it through the Kerem Shalom.

Tel Aviv’s looting agent 

With the withdrawal of Hamas police, Abu Shabab and his gang established a base in southeast Gaza from which it could freely loot aid trucks entering the strip via Kerem Shalom, all while operating under Israel’s protection and watchful eye.

In October 2024, the UN issued a memo concluding that criminal gangs “may be benefiting from a passive if not active benevolence” or “protection” from the Israeli military. According to the memo, one gang leader established a “military like compound” in an area “restricted, controlled and patrolled by the IDF.”

The memo identified Abu Shabab as “the main and most influential stakeholder behind systematic and massive looting” of aid convoys.

The largest single looting incident occurred in November 2024. On that day, a huge joint convoy of 109 UN trucks carrying food supplies entered Gaza via Kerem Shalom – only to be ambushed and stripped bare by armed looters. According to UN officials, 98 out of the 109 trucks were raided, their food, fuel, and even tires stolen.

[…]

Crucially, a UN spokesperson noted the convoy had been rerouted on short notice by the Israeli military onto unfamiliar roads, ensuring it would fall prey to the gangs.

For months, Israel approved the use of only one road passing through a “desolate patch” of southeast Gaza, the Washington Post observed.

[…]

Israeli media later reported that Abu Shabab’s group was armed with Kalashnikov rifles provided by “Israeli security bodies,” in a decision approved by Netanyahu, providing a further sign that Israel was behind Abu Shabab’s looting campaign.

Blaming Hamas

While covertly facilitating Abu Shabab’s looting, Israeli officials publicly blamed Hamas for stealing aid, in an effort to further restrict the entry of food to Gaza and deepen the hunger and starvation of its residents.

In the wake of the mass looting incident in November, it was reported that:

“COGAT, the Israeli military’s civilian affairs department for the Palestinian territories, has justified restrictions on the flow of goods by alleging repeatedly that Hamas is stealing aid and preventing it from reaching civilians.”

Israel’s cynical game was confirmed in May 2025 by Jonathan Whittall, the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territories. In reference to Abu Shabab, he stated that:

“Israel has publicly claimed that the UN and NGO aid is being diverted by Hamas. But this doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. The real theft of aid since the beginning of the war has been carried out by criminal gangs, under the watch of Israeli forces, and they were allowed to operate in proximity to the Kerem Shalom crossing point into Gaza.”

Whittall’s comments were further validated by a July 2025 USAID report, which also confirmed Hamas had not been involved in stealing aid.

A war of attrition 

In March 2025, Israel unilaterally broke a ceasefire reached with Hamas in January. Israeli leaders once again openly imposed a new siege on Gaza, preventing all aid from reaching the strip.

Then, in April, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued evacuation orders covering most of Gaza, while launching a new offensive pushing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into an “ever-shrinking bubble,” CNN reported. Katz’s goal was to “empty” large parts of Gaza while treating anyone who refused to obey evacuation orders as a “combatant.”

While Israel claimed its objective was to defeat Hamas and free Israeli captives held by the group, CNN observed that, “Israel’s strategy may have another purpose; to make life so unbearable for Gazans crammed into an ever-smaller pocket of territory without proper shelter that they begin to head for the exit.”

Katz appeared to make this objective clear, saying amid the offensive and blockade that, “We are working to advance the plan for the voluntary migration of Gaza’s residents.”

According to Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, the so-called migration plan would be anything but voluntary:

“The real and lasting answer will come only through the full advancement of the emigration plan – ‘Force him until he says, I want it.’”

Gaza ‘Humanitarian’ Foundation

In parallel, Netanyahu launched the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an aid mechanism staffed by former US special forces and contractors with opaque funding.

But the GHF, which began operating in May, did not distribute aid across Gaza. It established isolated “hubs” in the south, “designed as death traps.” Nearly 1,000 Palestinians were shot at or killed while seeking food from these hubs. Some were targeted by armed GHF security guards, while others were targeted by Israeli soldiers opening fire on starving crowds with sniper rifles, mortar shells, and even tank fire.

Despite the danger, Palestinians needing aid to prevent their children from starving had no choice but to come to the GHF sites, which meant relocating to tent camps near them.

The GHF was part of Israel’s military operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” with the stated objective of the “concentration and movement of the population.” In June, Tel Aviv admitted its goal: relocating all Gazans to a southern “sterile zone” surrounding the GHF hubs.

The UN and aid groups quickly rejected the GHF aid model, saying Israel was “using food as a tool for forced displacement.”

Concentration camps

As hunger deepened, Abu Shabab posted videos inviting displaced Palestinians to settle in his Israeli-guarded tent city in eastern Rafah.

He claimed to launch a recruitment drive to staff “administrative and community committees,” which would include doctors and nurses, engineers, primary school teachers, and public relations experts.

Abu Shabab claimed that more than 2,000 civilians were already living in his “protected zone,” and that his Popular Forces, allegedly consisting of just 100 armed men, had built schools, health centers, and other civilian infrastructure there.

Speaking with the Washington Post, he asked for support from the US, EU, and Arab states.

“We hope they support our vision and empower us to make all people in the Gaza Strip live like we do, taking control of our own areas in dignity and humanity,” Abu Shabab stated.

However, his attempt to bring “dignity” to Palestinians was soon revealed to be the first stage of an Israeli effort to build a massive concentration camp in Rafah.

On 7 July, Defense Minister Katz announced a plan to build a “humanitarian city” on the ruins of Rafah, in the same area where Israel allowed Abu Shabab’s Popular Forces to establish their base and tent camp.

The plan would begin by moving 600,000 Palestinians, primarily from the tent camps in the Al-Muwasi area, into the new zone after a security screening. The remainder of Gaza’s over 2 million Palestinians would be moved there later.

“Once inside, residents would not be allowed to leave,” Haaretz reported, citing the defense minister.

The planned “humanitarian city,” which no one would be “allowed to leave,” was quickly acknowledged as a concentration camp and the first step toward the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza, including by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

“It is a concentration camp. I am sorry … this is part of an ethnic cleansing,” Olmert told The Guardian. “It is to deport them, to push them, and to throw them away.”

Manufactured governance, planned chaos

In June, Prime Minister Netanyahu finally acknowledged support for Abu Shabab, saying on social media that Israel had “activated” some Palestinian clans in Gaza, on the advice of “security officials.”

Netanyahu’s comments affirmed previous reports in Israeli media that the operation to arm Abu Shabab and other clan-based gangs was “planned and managed” by the Shin Bet to create “alternative governing structures” that challenge Hamas.

The strategy mirrored the occupation state’s project to create “village leagues” in the occupied West Bank in the 1970s and 80s. The project involved backing local clan leaders with funds, weapons, and privileges to weaken the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and block Palestinian statehood.

“It’s the oldest colonial strategy in the book,” said Rashid Khalidi of Columbia University. By supporting Abu Shabab, Israel had succeeded in “sowing utter chaos,” which Israel wants” because if the Palestinians are unified, then they might have to actually negotiate or deal with them,” Khalidi added.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says AIPAC should register as a foreign lobbyist

Trump's first 100 days: Executive order blitz exposes GOP gridlock ...
By Charlotte Hazard

August 8, 2025

Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) needs to register as a foreign lobbyist, after the group criticized her comments about there being a genocide in Gaza.

“The truth is AIPAC needs to register as a foreign lobbyist by U.S. law because they are representing the secular government of nuclear armed Israel 100%!!!” Greene wrote on the social media platform X Thursday evening.

Greene said AIPAC started sending out fundraising attack emails about her after she said that the genocide, starvation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza was horrific, like the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which triggered the war between the sides.

“I’m one of the only members of Congress that doesn’t take money from AIPAC, who donates way more money to Republicans than Democrats,” her lengthy social media post continued.

Greene has become critical of Israel in the past few weeks, saying that there were people starving in Gaza, where the war is being fought, despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims otherwise.

Last month, Greene introduced amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act to remove foreign aid to other countries, including $500 million to Israel.

Gerald Celente: Death of the Dollar Has Already Begun

The Sanchez Effect (2025)

Film Review

Sanchez Effect

Great interview by former CNN journalist Cuban-American Rick Sanchez. The interview focuses on India’s reaction to Trump’s threats to increase Indian tariffs to 50% for purchasing. Indian prime minister Modi responded by sending a national security advisor to Moscow to meet with his Russian and to meeting with Chinese president Xi at the Shanghai Cooperation organization for the first time in seven years. Indian trade with the US only accounts for 2% of India’s GDP.

Sanchez points out that BRICS member India, China, Brazil and South Africa all have bigger militaries and GDP growth than the US.

The interview with financial analyst Gerald Celente starts at 11.07.

Celente begins by talking about America’s decaying infrastructure while the government spends money they don’t have on unending foreign wars. He also talks about the organization Occupy Peace he started with Judge Napolitano and Scott Ritter.

He goes on to discuss inevitable dot come bust resulting from the current AI bubble. There’s no question in his mind that the US will lose out to China’s Deep Seek AI, mainly because China can do AI far cheaper, faster and more efficiently than Silicon Valley. (Deep Seek cost China 1/20 of what ChatGPT cost OpenAI).

Intriguingly Sanchez confesses to being sucked in by Trump’s rhetoric that he was going to be more transparent and put America’s needs ahead of oligarchs’ profits.

They compare the CIA’s 2014 coup in Ukraine with their 1953 coup in Iran. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland openly bragged in 2014 to spending $4 billion to fund NGOs to “teach Ukrainians about democracy.”

After Sanchez admits about having more journalistic independence at RT than he did at CNN, Celente talks about being blacklisted from the US media (at a time when his  Trends Journal was headline news) for predicting the US would lose the war in Afghanistan.

RFK Jr pushes ‘universal vaccine’?????

By Letara Draghia

US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has scrapped over $500 million (€432 million) in federal vaccine funding, announcing a pivot towards developing a so-called “universal vaccine” designed to mimic natural immunity.

In a statement on August 6, 2025, Kennedy confirmed that the US Department of Health and Human Services will cancel 22 vaccine development projects (all using mRNA technology) in favour of “safer, broader vaccine strategies.” The move, affecting major players like Pfizer and Moderna, has sparked fierce backlash from public health experts across the US.

Kennedy claimed the goal is a new, all-in-one jab that could offer protection not just against COVID-19 but also influenza and future pandemics.

Speaking from Anchorage, Alaska, hours after the announcement, Kennedy declared, “It could be effective – we believe it’s going to be effective – against not only coronaviruses, but also flu.”

The health department described the cancelled mRNA contracts as part of a “shift in vaccine development priorities.” Kennedy, a long-time vaccine critic, said mRNA platforms are flawed and unstable when viruses mutate.

“We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted. BARDA is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu. We’re shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate,” he said in a video posted on X.

Reactions from the medical community were swift and damning.

“I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business,” said infectious disease expert Mike Osterholm of the University of Minnesota, cited by Sky News.

Dr Paul Offit of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia also slammed the decision, “It’s certainly saved millions of lives,” he said, referring to mRNA vaccines used during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is mRNA?

mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccines do not use the actual virus to trigger immunity. Instead, they deliver a genetic blueprint that instructs the body to create a harmless viral protein, prompting an immune response.

This approach allows for quicker production of vaccines, according to the UK Health Security Agency. Moderna previously claimed mRNA could accelerate flu vaccine development.

Despite Kennedy’s criticism, the Department of Health clarified that “other uses of mRNA technology within the department are not impacted by this announcement,” including research into cancer therapies and other diseases.

This is the latest in a series of controversial decisions by Kennedy since taking office:

As experts warn of rising vaccine hesitancy and reduced pandemic preparedness, the bigger question looms: will a universal jab really deliver?

How the Western “Green Revolution” Continues to Sabotage Rice Production in India

The Ongoing Battle Against GM and Gene Edited Monocultures

The first big blow to India’s vast diversity of indigenous varieties of rice was delivered by the green revolution monocultures. Now the second big blow is likely to be delivered by GM/gene edited monocultures, if the efforts to introduce these succeed.

A myth has been spread that India needed green revolution rice to prevent starvation. The reality is that under the able leadership of Dr R.H. Richharia, the then Director of the Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack, his team was ready to introduce the most promising rice improvement program based on indigenous varieties. This was sabotaged by imposing green revolution dwarf varieties. Dr Richharia had to leave his top post with great regret.

However such was his eminence and respect that when the green revolution rice varieties ran into all sorts of problems, he was brought back by the government to head a task-force on what problems the new green revolution dwarf varieties had created and what could be done to resolve the worrying situation.

This task-force on rice breeding consisting of eminent experts which met at the Central Rice Research Institute (CRRI) in Cuttack in 1979 tried to identify some of the causes – mainly the narrow genetic base of the exotic rice HYVs, their unsuitability for much of the rice growing region of India and their alarming susceptibility to pests and diseases. Some remarks of the task force are worth quoting, (in these quotes HYVs should be taken to mean exotic HYVs also known as green revolution varieties):

In the words of the task force,

“Most of the HYVs are derivatives of T(N)1 or I.R.8 and, therefore, have the dwarfing gene of dee–geo-woo-gen. This narrow genetic base has created alarming uniformity, causing vulnerability to diseases and pests. Most of the released varieties are not suitable for typical uplands and low lands which together constitute about 75 per cent of the total rice area of the country. To meet these situations, we need to reorient our research programmes and strategies.”

In a reference to the increased pest susceptibility of the now crops, the task force says,

“The introduction of high yielding varieties has brought about a marked change in the status of insect pests like gall midge, brown plant-hopper, leaf folder, whorl maggot etc. Since most of the high yielding varieties, released so far, are susceptible to major pests with crop loss of 30 to 100 per cent, development of high yielding varieties with built-in-resistance has become highly essential to stabilize the yields.”

Development of pest-resistant varieties is no doubt very important, but when it comes to examining the past record in this field, again the task force had sad things to tell.

“The results of the insect resistance breeding programme so far are not very encouraging. Even though a few varieties have been released as resistant to pests, except Ratna, no other variety is having a good spread in the country. A good stem borer resistant variety is yet to be developed for which a good donor is to be first identified.

“For gall midge, even though the donors are highly resistant, unfortunately most of the resistant varieties, released so far in the country, are either poor yielders or do not show consistency in resistance when grown in different locations. Here also high yield and stable and high degree of resistance are yet to be combined. ” Referring to some specific efforts, the task force reported, “During 1977 Kharif (crop season), when the gall midge resistant cultures were grown in new endemic areas Singeda, Kune and Bandu in Bihar, most of the promising resistant cultures recorded susceptible reaction suggesting possible presence of a new virulent biotype of rice gall midge in these areas.”

While disease-related problems were getting worse in some respects solutions were not in sight. Specifically regarding the problem of sheath blight, the task force reported.

“The disease is now becoming more serious due to the increased plant population density, high tillering and higher nitrogen dose… so far varieties with a high degree of resistance have not yet been identified.”

To the findings of the task force given above (made in 1979), we may only add that most of these problems of exotic HYVs still persist; in fact these are inherent in the exotic varieties not at all well adapted to the environmental conditions in which these are grown in India.

Later as green revolution rice continued to have serious problems, the then Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi asked Dr Richharia to prepare a plan for improving rice cultivation based on his understanding and ideas. He promptly and dutifully prepared this plan but this could not be implemented following the assassination of Mrs Gandhi in 1984.

Now we come to Dr. Richharia’s this ‘specific plan for action for increase in productivity of rice’. First he identifies the factors which have retarded the increase in rice productivity in recent years despite so much increase in investments in the form of fertilisers, pesticides, irrigation, research, extension etc. Then he gives his plan in brief. Dr. Richharia’s plan has three basic components –

(1) Rice development to be based on the rich indigenous germplasm which has to be explored further and preserved,

(2) A highly decentralised extension approach and

(3) Large-scale adoption of clonal propagation technique to spread improved varieties

According to Dr. Richharia (all quotes from the plan)

“The main constraint has been the hurried introduction of the undesirable new rice material, the HYVs (dwarfs) on which we based our strategy, replacing even the reputed high yielding rices of the locality, forgetting at the same time unexpected drought situations, under which the HYVs lowered the yields. In addition, under heavy fertilization and irrigation the HYVs proved to be susceptible to diseases and pests which cannot be controlled easily thus again pointing towards reduction of yield.”

At another place in the plan be writes

“The most immediate and major cause can be attributed to frequent replacements of the adapted rice varieties in a locality, partly or fully. This is because the agro-ecological balance has been disturbed in the environment in respect of the existing germplasm which had been built up in course of time for centuries by the natural process of empirical breeding and selection establishing ecological balance in different environments, what in modern times can be interpreted as ‘ecological breeding’ (term coined by a Japanese worker in 1959).”

Fortunately, indigenous high-yielding varieties, adapted to local environment are available in the country. In a survey carried out in Madhya Pradesh between 1971-74, 8 per cent of the indigenous rice types were observed to fall under the category of high yielding types, fixing the minimum limit of 3705 kg/Ha.

In view of this there is a need to redefine ‘HYVs’ which hitherto have been officially identified only with the exotic dwarf fertiliser – responsive varieties.

In the area of research as well as extension, Dr. Richharia recommends a highly decentralised approach. This, he emphasises, is inherent in the nature of the rice plant. To quote,

“If we were to think of a single characteristic feature of the rice plant which yields food for millions, it cannot be anything else but its variability in the form of thousands of its cultivars, spread in India and in other rice growing belts of the world. This is because of the rice plant’s flexible genetic make-up and mutational power of adaptation.” So he recommends the establishment of a wide network of “adaptive rice centres” in all rice growing areas,

“The adaptive rice centres will be the custodian of all local rice cultivars in respective localities, assembled immediately, supplemented if necessary, by the already available materials of the locality at different research centres. They will be maintained under their natural habitat to safeguard the future. They will be known as local treasuries of rice germplasm, (a term suggested by Dr. Frankel of Australia).”

The function of the centres will be:

a) To maintain the evolved rice genetic material for future studies and use as it is practically impossible to retain it in its original form at a central place in India or abroad. It can only be maintained in its original condition at its natural habitat only seeking help of the rice growers themselves.

b) To educate the young farmers to appreciate the value and importance of their own material adding new ones as their hobby.

On the basis of his wide experience Dr. Richharia says

“Invariably I found in rice areas some rice growers taking keen interest in their local rice varieties as they are very much absorbed in them and they have all praise for them, so much so that they trace back the history of individual rice varieties to their ancestry with their utility and such selected and devoted rice farmers will be put in charge of the centres.”

These views of Dr Richharia for a highly decentralized approach based on protecting and growing diversity of indigenous rice varieties remain highly relevant in present times.
