^^That's TheScience™ in 4m 23s. Everyone in the Triple Alliance, the Axis of Evil-Joe-Whoomm, should endure the whole damn thing and learn to understand the obvious, belatedly.

Did you catch that? Once again, with emphasis added:

No longer "of", no longer "from" the Deadly World-Stopping Oriental Killer Virus. All of a sudden it's "with".

Well well, who could possibly have anticipated that.

Know your enemy. These shameless hacks are rapidy backtracking now, and hoping to get away with it.

Thank you for the word, Mac.

One definition of inanition is the lack of mental or spiritual vigor and enthusiasm.

Must admit that I fit that definition in many ways at present. Not in a position to be a warrior.

Mac, what is the issue with me you have? I'm 73, dying through illness and with some form of memory-robbing dementia and without the ability to form short-term memories. By the time I've opened a window to search for something, I've already forgotten what it was I had been about to search for. Because of this it's become difficult to create more complex sentences and often will omit words essential to complete my sentence legibly. I type with one finger and do the best to express myself intelligently. Please tell us why you feel as you do about me, because I have no idea what's caused of your animosity towards me. Where is your intelligent rebuttal to anything I've offered in this thread? Why have you refused to answer any questions I've previously asked you? FFS? That's it?

When you learn to be supportive of people instead of insulting them, your wit will better serve you.

My own conclusion in all of this is that Mr Bush’s marketing team is doing their job and they’re exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic for commercial benefit. Sure, Zach has some nice sentiments that align with certain world views, but ultimately he needs customers to buy his gut tonic. Yours for only US$49.95 per month!

Call me a cynic, but…


That's from Iam's link about Zach Bush.

How is he different to Pfizer?

According to the latest research from South Africa people with previous infections or vaccinations both have good T and B cell responses against Omicron including some potential "cross reactivity". So unless you are particularly vulnerable you probably don't need a booster shot against Omicron and most likely against any other variant ever again.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101 ... 21268380v1

Nonetheless people are still pushing the need for mRNA vaccines to maintain neutralising antibody titres that are really not necessary.

How is this different to the anti autism product Terrorhideright being pushed by Zach Bush?

Even I can tell you how to make good quality soil, even if you do live in a flat. Just start by composting all your organic waste and trying to grow some legumes in pots with whatever light you have available. If you can burn good quality (untreated) wood in a fire place or small brazier in the kitchen or outside (ideally) and then save the ash and charcoal (grind that up a fair bit. Go to a quarry that uses basalt. Get the dust off the crackers (you might have to buy the workers a few beers). Don't get "cracker dust" which is by def. pieces of gravel 1 - 5 mm in diameter, get the actual dust, use a dustpan and broom.

Mix this shit with as much good quality organix material as you can. if you can get seeweed, algae or creek weeds use them, but any green plant material will do. Buy some cheap organic worm casting and add that to the mix and you will end up with the best soil you can get. If you have no space use it to grow a few herbs that you add to your food daily.

There you go. You've lessened the need for both the vaccine booster and Zach Bush's TerraHydrite(tm) and improved your health and most likely the taste of your food.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/30/associated-press-cooperation-nazis-revealed-germany-harriet-scharnberg
The Associated Press news agency entered a formal cooperation with the Hitler regime in the 1930s, supplying American newspapers with material directly produced and selected by the Nazi propaganda ministry, archive material unearthed by a German historian has revealed.

When the Nazi party seized power in Germany in 1933, one of its first objectives was to bring into line not just the national press, but international media too. The Guardian was banned within a year, and by 1935 even bigger British-American agencies such as Keystone and Wide World Photos were forced to close their bureaus after coming under attack for employing Jewish journalists.

Associated Press, which has described itself as the “marine corps of journalism” (“always the first in and the last out”) was the only western news agency able to stay open in Hitler’s Germany, continuing to operate until the US entered the war in 1941. It thus found itself in the presumably profitable situation of being the prime channel for news reports and pictures out of the totalitarian state.

In an article published in academic journal Studies in Contemporary History , historian Harriet Scharnberg shows that AP was only able to retain its access by entering into a mutually beneficial two-way cooperation with the Nazi regime.

The New York-based agency ceded control of its output by signing up to the so-called Schriftleitergesetz (editor’s law), promising not to publish any material “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home”.

This law required AP to hire reporters who also worked for the Nazi party’s propaganda division. One of the four photographers employed by the Associated Press in the 1930s, Franz Roth, was a member of the SS paramilitary unit’s propaganda division, whose photographs were personally chosen by Hitler. AP has removed Roth’s pictures from its website since Scharnberg published her findings, though thumbnails remain viewable due to “software issues”.

AP also allowed the Nazi regime to use its photo archives for its virulently antisemitic propaganda literature. Publications illustrated with AP photographs include the bestselling SS brochure “Der Untermensch” (“The Sub-Human”) and the booklet “The Jews in the USA”, which aimed to demonstrate the decadence of Jewish Americans with a picture of New York mayor Fiorello LaGuardia eating from a buffet with his hands.

Coming just before Associated Press’s 170th anniversary in May, the newly discovered information raises not just difficult questions about the role AP played in allowing Nazi Germany to conceal its true face during Hitler’s first years in power, but also about the agency’s relationship with contemporary totalitarian regimes.

While the AP deal enabled the west to peek into a repressive society that may otherwise have been entirely hidden from view – for which Berlin correspondent Louis P Lochner won a Pulitzer in 1939 – the arrangement also enabled the Nazis to cover up some of its crimes. Scharnberg, a historian at Halle’s Martin Luther University, argued that AP’s cooperation with the Hitler regime allowed the Nazis to “portray a war of extermination as a conventional war”.

In June 1941, Nazi troops invaded the town of Lviv in western Ukraine. Upon discovering evidence of mass killings carried out by Soviet troops, German occupying forces had organised “revenge” pogroms against the city’s Jewish population.

Franz Roth’s photographs of the dead bodies inside Lviv prisons were selected upon Hitler’s personal orders and distributed to the American press via AP.

“Instead of printing pictures of the days-long Lviv pogroms with its thousands of Jewish victims, the American press was only supplied with photographs showing the victims of the Soviet police and ‘brute’ Red Army war criminals,” Scharnberg told the Guardian.

“To that extent it is fair to say that these pictures played their part in disguising the true character of the war led by the Germans,” said the historian. “Which events were made visible and which remained invisible in AP’s supply of pictures followed German interests and the German narrative of the war.”

Approached with these allegations, AP said in a statement that Scharnberg’s report “describes both individuals and their activities before and during the war that were unknown to AP”, and that it is currently reviewing documents in and beyond its archives to “further our understanding of the period”.

An AP spokesperson told the Guardian: “As we continue to research this matter, AP rejects any notion that it deliberately ‘collaborated’ with the Nazi regime. An accurate characterisation is that the AP and other foreign news organisations were subjected to intense pressure from the Nazi regime from the year of Hitler’s coming to power in 1932 until the AP’s expulsion from Germany in 1941. AP management resisted the pressure while working to gather accurate, vital and objective news in a dark and dangerous time.”

The new findings may only have been of interest to company historians, were it not for the fact that AP’s relationship with totalitarian regimes has once again come under scrutiny. Since January 2012, when AP became the first western news agency to open a bureau in North Korea, questions have repeatedly been raised about the neutrality of its Pyongyang bureau’s output.

In 2014, Washington-based website NK News alleged that top executives at AP had in 2011 “agreed to distribute state-produced North Korean propaganda through the AP name” in order to gain access to the highly profitable market of distributing picture material out of the totalitarian state. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea comes second from bottom in the current World Press Freedom Index.

A leaked draft agreement showed that AP was apparently willing to let the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) handpick one text and one photo journalist from its agitation and propaganda unit to work in its bureau. AP told the Guardian that “it would be presumptuous to assume ‘the draft’ has any significance”, but declined to disclose further information on the final agreement.

Significant events, reported in the international media, were not covered by AP’s Pyongyang bureau, such as the six-week public disappearance of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in September and October 2014, the November 2014 Sony Entertainment hack that had allegedly been orchestrated by a North Korean cyberwarfare agency, or a reports of a famine in South Hwanghae province in 2012.

When the French news agency Agence France-Presse signed an agreement to open a bureau in Pyongyang in January this year, AP’s former Pyongyang bureau chief Jean Lee commented that it was a sign of the regime’s “increased confidence in its ability to keep foreign journalists under control”.The AP spokesperson denied that the agency submitted to censorship. “We do not run stories by the Korean Central News Agency or any government official before we publish them. At the same time, officials are free to grant or deny access or interviews.”

Nate Thayer, a former AP correspondent in Cambodia who published the leaked draft agreement, told the Guardian: “It looks like AP have learned very little from their own history. To claim, as the agency does, that North Korea does not control their output, is ludicrous. There is naturally an argument that any access to secretive states is important. But at the end of the day it matters whether you tell your readers that what you are reporting is based on independent and neutral sources”.

"They've Weaponised Guilt and Shame" - Africa Brooke

There is something else going on here tho.

"Woke" is a term that's pretty specific isn't it.

Its a visceral understanding of where you are if you grow up poor and black in the US.

In those circumstances the chips are stacked against you in a particular way and probably no one else on earth has that lived understanding of the situation.

So regardless of skin colour Africa Brooke has no fucken idea what that's like. But then neither do all the middle class white people who have been banging on about how "woke" they are since they jumped on the BLM bandwagon a few years ago. These are the middle management bourgeoisie people that have stolen "the left" and defined it to exclude the working people (of all races) over the last 30 years.

I'm all for anti racism, equality and fairness but its got to be economic as well and alot of these people have spent years hiding that. They all put their pensions into the funds that buy up homes that working people once brought and owned.

This whole argument is suppression of the recognition of that sort of economic injustice.

It wasn't just race it was also class. Middle classish people (or even working people with enough of a welfare state that higher education is always a reasonable possibility if you work hard) people who worked their arses off.

It amazes me that people don't understand attitudes like this are woke:



Obviously this goes beyond race to a point.

Walter Kirn:

..Every morning, there it is, waiting for me on my phone. The bullshit. It resembles, in its use of phrases such as “knowledgeable sources” and “experts differ,” what I used to think of as the news, but it isn’t the news and it hasn’t been for ages. It consists of its decomposed remains in a news-shaped coffin. It does impart information, strictly speaking, but not always information about our world. Or not good information, because it’s so often wrong, particularly on matters of great import and invariably to the advantage of the same interests, which suggests it should be presumed wrong as a rule. The information it imparts, if one bothers to sift through it, is information about itself; about the purposes, beliefs, and loyalties of those who produce it: the informing class. They’re not the ruling class — not quite — but often they’re married to it or share therapists or drink with it at Yale Bowl football games. They’re cozy, these tribal cousins. They cavort. They always have. What has changed is that the press used to maintain certain boundaries in the relationship, observing the incest taboo. It kept its pants zipped, at least in public. It didn’t hire ex-CIA directors, top FBI men, NSA brass, or other past and future sources to sit beside its anchors at spot-lit news-desks that blocked our view of their lower extremities. But it gave in.
