‘Cancel Culture’ Cannot Erase a Strong Argument
Robert Jensen | Countercurrents - TRANSCEND Media Service,
20 Jul 2020
13 Jul 2020 – In the current squabble on the liberal/progressive/left side of the fence over so-called “cancel culture”—in which one open letter in favor of freedom of expression led to a rebuttal open letter in favor of a different approach to freedom of expression—I can offer a report on the experience of being canceled.

Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD | Orthomolecular Medicine News Service - TRANSCEND Media Service,
20 Jul 2020
18 Jul 2020 – With the treatment options available, there is no good reason for most people to even contract COVID-19, and there is certainly no good reason for anyone to die from this virus, much less have a prolonged clinical course of infection with a great deal of needless suffering.

Chris Hedges talks to journalist Dean Yates, who was head of the Reuters’ Baghdad bureau on 12 July 2007, when two of his employees–Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen–were shot and killed by the U.S. Army, which tried to cover up the war crime. The killing of the reporters and others was recorded on the now-infamous video Collateral Murder leaked by Chelsea Manning and released by WikiLeaks.

Yavne: A Jewish Case for Equality in Palestine-Israel
Peter Beinart | Jewish Currents - TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Jul 2020
7 Jul 2020 – What makes someone a real Jew today? In Haredi circles it means adhering to religious law. In leftist Jewish spaces, it means championing progressive causes. But in the broad center of Jewish life—where power and respectability lie—being a Jew means, above all, supporting the existence of a Jewish state. In most Jewish communities on earth, rejecting Israel is a greater heresy than rejecting God.

Patrick Holford | Orthomolecular Medicine News Service - TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Jul 2020
7 Jul 2020 – COVID-19, or SARS-CoV-2, is a coronavirus disease, classified as influenza, although coronaviruses can also induce colds, both of which are upper respiratory tract infections. The consequences of infection can be pneumonia, hospitalization in Intensive Care Units and mechanical ventilation. Studies on vitamin C and any of the conditions mentioned above are relevant to decisions as to the suitability of using vitamin C for prevention of COVID-19, as a potential therapy, and for further research.

Il faut profiter du fait que « la presse internationale se focalise quasi exclusivement sur le covid-19 » pour « faire passer des réformes [infra-légales] et assouplir les règles » en matière de protection et de préservation de l’environnement.

BOUNTYGATE: Scapegoating Systemic Military Failure in Afghanistan
Scott Ritter | Consortium News - TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Jul 2020
5 Jul 2020 – The story of the alleged “bounty scheme” grew up in the context of top U.S. brass blaming Russia for America’s defeat in Afghanistan. Research shows that 99% of Americans never have seen the material in this article. Understandable – it can be highly contagious and carries a high morbidity rate for those with pre-existing biases.

Robert J. Burrowes, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Jul 2020
If 5G is deployed, there will be nowhere on Earth that is safe for humans, insects, birds, animals and plants. We will have fundamentally altered the very conditions that made the evolution of life on Earth possible. An exaggeration? Here is the briefest sample of the damage existing human-generated electromagnetic radiation is causing life on Earth.

Italy: Sold to Big Pharma
Dr. Antonietta M. Gatti and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr | Children’s Health Defense – TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Jul 2020
28 Jun 2020 – Summarizing everything in a few words, Italy was sold to Big Pharma and has become a huge laboratory where experiments are carried out on the population: adults, children, old, healthy, sick people … it makes no difference, we are all guinea pigs. Now the business, and not just an economic one, is to force 60 million Italians to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

To Fight Coronavirus, You Have to Understand How Weird It Is
David Axe | The Daily Beast - Reader Supported News,
29 Jun 2020
24 Jun 2020 – The novel coronavirus is unusual, it was obvious early in the pandemic, as the pathogen seemed to spread much faster than other coronaviruses, and kill at a higher rate than influenza viruses. It seems the disease behaves like a covert enemy that slips behind normally stout defenses—a Trojan Horse that deceives the body into submission.

The Politics of Gene Sharp
Brian Martin | Academia – TRANSCEND Media Service,
29 Jun 2020
Gene Sharp’s contributions to the understanding of nonviolent action provide a useful lens for understanding developments in the field in recent decades. Sharp built on Gandhi’s pioneering endeavours, but moved away from Gandhi by providing a pragmatic rationale for nonviolent action. However, few academics have paid much attention to Sharp’s work, and policy-makers have largely ignored it. In contrast, activists have taken up Sharp’s ideas enthusiastically.

11 Jun 2020 – The ICC stands firmly by its staff and officials and remains unwavering in its commitment to discharging, independently and impartially, the mandate bestowed upon it by the Rome Statute and the States that are party to it. These are the latest in a series of unprecedented attacks on the ICC, an independent international judicial institution, as well as on the Rome Statute system of international criminal justice, which reflects the commitment and cooperation of the ICC’s 123 States Parties, representing all regions of the world.

Netanyahu Establishes the Principle of Anti-Semitism in Israeli Policy
Amos Gvirtz – TRANSCEND Media Service,
22 Jun 2020
15 Jun 2020 – There are many reasons for opposing Netanyahu’s plan to annex settlements and the occupied Jordan Valley. I would like to focus on the implications of one of its important aspects: the intention to annex territories without granting citizenship to Palestinian residents, placing the discrimination between Jews and non-Jews on legal ground and providing ideological and legal justification for similar discrimination against Jews in other parts of the world.

Missing Perspective in Media: Iran/Venezuela Ties Are None of US’s Business
Gregory Shupak | FAIR-Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting - TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Jun 2020
10 Jun 2020 – The American state not only snuffs out lives by pressing knees to necks domestically, it also seeks to asphyxiate entire countries like Iran and Venezuela. This is evident in corporate media coverage of Iranian oil shipments to Venezuela, which has framed the deliveries as a problem that needs to be solved, rather than a commercial transaction that doesn’t concern third parties.

12 Jun 2020 – The New York Times’ correspondent in Afghanistan, Mujib Mashal, somehow managed to write the article “How the Taliban Outlasted a Superpower: Tenacity and Carnage” to explain how the Taliban “outlasted a superpower through 19 years of war,” without examining at all how the US contributed to reviving and sustaining the Taliban insurgency.

1 Jun 2020
Like Bob Dylan, “I return once again to Homer who says, ‘Sing in me, oh Muse, and through me tell the story.’” Our stories often happen behind our backs where we can’t see them. Telling them is the trick. You need to turn around and see what’s behind you to pass them around.

24 May 2020 – In the summer of 2013, I spent my days sifting through the most extensive archive of top-secret files that had ever reached the hands of an American journalist. Edward Snowden had transmitted tens of thousands of classified documents to me, Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. He revealed the agency’s phone-record tracking program. But thanks to “precomputed contact chaining,” that database was much more powerful than anyone knew.

Jun 2020 issue – “What time exactly does your clock say?” asked the voice on the telephone, the first words Edward Snowden ever spoke to me aloud. I glanced at my wrist—3:22 p.m. “Good. Meet me exactly at four. I’ll be wearing a backpack.” The rendezvous point Snowden selected on 5 Dec 2013 was a casino hotel called the Korston Club in Moscow. After receiving a trove of documents from the whistleblower, I found myself under surveillance and investigation by the U.S. government.

On 26 March 2020, the World Intellectual Property Organisation granted Microsoft a world patent. Titled ‘1. WO2020060606 – Cryptocurrency System Using Body Activity Data’, this patent gives Microsoft (that is, Bill Gates) extraordinary power over our lives. It is dramatically changing the meaning of being human. Firstly, it is redefining us as ‘mines’ for data – robbing us of our autonomy, our sovereignty, and control over our bodies and minds.

How Does the US Rally Support for Wars That Kill Millions of Innocent People Worldwide?
Robert Fantina | Global Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,
25 May 2020
21 May 2020 – These wars have killed millions of innocent men, women and children around the world. Yet more often than not they have been based on weak evidence, questionable motives, and outright lies. Why, then, do large portions of the public staunchly support the US troops? Why are so many Americans satisfied with the U.S. bombings of Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other Middle Eastern countries, knowing that this is creating starvation and refugee crises of catastrophic proportions?

Corporate Media Don’t Think Americans Paid to Invade Venezuela Count as Mercenaries
Joshua Cho | FAIR-Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting - TRANSCEND Media Service,
18 May 2020
11 May 2020 – In recent reports regarding the Bay of Pigs–style invasion the term “mercenary” was accompanied by scare quotes, as if these men could only be seen that way from the perspective of an Official US EnemyTM (whose perspective is always illegitimate in the eyes of corporate media). It is clear that the men behind the La Guaira invasion aren’t described as mercenaries because the US government and media alike favor regime change in Venezuela.

The Internet is a double-bind because we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t. News, writing, and information of all sorts are now often not available any other way.

11 May 2020
6 May 2020 – The British government allowed IRA hunger-striker Bobby Sands to starve to death. It is showing the same lack of judgment on what is right and wrong, by callously letting another political detainee die. On 5 May 1981, Bobby Sands died after refusing food for 66 days at a British Northern Ireland prison. Julian Assange, in extremely poor health, is being held at draconian Belmarsh Prison in London.

Since death is one idea that has no history except as an idea and not a reality any of us have experienced, it is the most frightening idea there is and also quite simple. It is the ultimate unknown.

27 Apr 2020
24 Apr 2020 – The magnitude of the ongoing economic disaster is such that it has revived and boosted the hope that it will lead to a major global shift in economic policies and priorities. Naomi Klein quotes from one of the key contributors to the neoliberal shift–Milton Friedman: “Only a crisis—actual or perceived—produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around.” She quotes it approvingly: “Friedman, one of history’s most extreme free market economists, was wrong about a whole lot, but he was right about that. In times of crisis, seemingly impossible ideas suddenly become possible.”

23 Apr 2020 – The COVID-19 emergency has exposed our societies’ failure to address the needs of billions of people. Simultaneously, we are witnessing a fundamental truth about human nature: There are those among us eager to exploit the suffering of others for personal gain. We can be reassured, however, by how few of them there are. Their actions contrast starkly with the far greater numbers at all levels of society demonstrating their willingness, even eagerness, to cooperate, share, and sacrifice for the well-being of all.

It is interesting to observe the vast number of fearfully submissive people who are willing to accept, or even ask for, greater constraints on our rights, freedom and economic security, ostensibly to ‘protect’ them from a virus. Sadly, too, the fear of these people plays a critical collaborative role in advancing the elite coup. These lives, if lost or marginalized while suiting some elite depopulation agenda, will be a stark but ugly reminder that COVID-19 was never about a virus but about our fear.

NYT Blames Maduro for Healthcare Horror, Downplays US Role
Bryce Greene | FAIR-Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting - TRANSCEND Media Service,
20 Apr 2020
The New York Times (10 Apr 2020) published an article describing the horrendous shape of the Venezuelan healthcare system. The piece fumbled the most important aspect of the story: how and why the system is as bad as it is. In true “manufacturing consent” fashion, it downplayed the US role in destabilizing the Venezuelan economy, and instead pointed to President Nicolás Maduro’s “authoritarianism” as the primary cause of the crisis.

8 Apr 2020 – Covid-19 has hammered few countries as hard as it has hit Iran, which reports (as of April 8) 64,586 cases and 3,993 deaths. US sanctions are a major reason that Iranians are getting infected with and dying from the coronavirus in such large numbers: The US’s economic warfare softened Iran up for the pandemic well before its outbreak.

13 Apr 2020
30 Mar 2020 – While Haiti’s widely despised, US-backed government officially promotes social distancing to suppress Covid-19, the stark reality is that most of the population is likely heading toward herd immunity, where many must get infected in the street rather than die by hunger at home.

Is the US a Civilized Nation?
Ron Forthofer | Countercurrents - TRANSCEND Media Service,
30 Mar 2020
We have continued with savage and barbaric policies in, for example, Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Afghanistan, Cuba, Syria, Libya, Iraq. We have also imposed sanctions on a number of nations that don’t comply with our policies, and these cruel and brutal sanctions are crimes against humanity. This unnecessary and illegal killing by the US of untold numbers while devastating countries and populations that were not a threat to it were hardly acts of a civilized nation.

Creative Empathy in a Pandemic

30 Mar 2020
18 Mar 2020 – Of all the disruption, paradox and chaos that have been unleashed by the coronavirus, this is the most stunning: It has something to teach us that we could never learn on our own. My God, we are one planet — one people. This isn’t idealism; it’s the most pragmatic social organizing principle possible. Just as all of us are, of necessity, isolated from each other, we are all participants, via our creative empathy, in this shift in human consciousness. What examples of this empathy have you noticed? Let’s share.

The struggle to restore our rights, economic well-being and freedoms will not be won easily. I intend to do everything I can to ensure that we succeed. I hope that you will too.

30 Mar 2020
25 Mar 2020 – The Pentagon insisted on going ahead with provocative NATO war games near Russia’s borders, despite the coronavirus epidemic, but Germany pulled its forces out and closed its roads to troop movements. The US is doing a poor job of helping its own population. Europeans are figuring out that the US is a morally and spiritually bankrupt nation and that’s no doubt dawning on Americans who see the scarcity of medical equipment and the abundance of lethal weapons here.

While humans stand on the brink of precipitating our own extinction, virtually everyone remains unaware of the critical nature of our plight. The ongoing human death toll from the activities that are generating this crisis numbers in the many millions each year while the number of species driven to extinction is estimated at 200 per day. In contrast, a virus that is killing a very small proportion of the minuscule number it has infected is causing panic in many countries around the world, devastating the travel and tourism industries while emptying supermarket shelves of food and that apparently most vital of commodities: toilet paper.

There are very few writers who have done more to try to open the public’s mind to the evil nature of the American empire than David Ray Griffin. His series of books on the false flag attacks of September 11, 2001 will endure for a long time, and they will one day, when it is safe to do so, be recognized as seminal texts exposing the traitorous conspiracy of elements within the Unites States’ government to launch the endless so-called war on terror.

If Julian Assange is sent into the dungeons of America, free journalism, free speech and even democracy itself will have been murdered in plain sight. On the British mainstream media watch.

We now inhabit a digital technological nightmare controlled by government and corporate forces intent on dominating every aspect of people’s lives.
