Now we are getting somewhere. This is a good summary of the attitudes/actions of the major players around the time of Kirk’s murder.

Thank you for retracting your previous position that Kirk’s murder was faked, I stopped reading that article when I encountered that, but for some reason I thought I would give you another try. I’m glad I did, and I’m glad you were humble enough to admit that you were wrong. It’s rare these days.

And thank you for referencing Chris Martenson’s video. I agree with you about it’s importance. I also believe he has raised important points that will exonerate Tyler Robinson of this crime if Robinson’s defense follows his lead.

You gently raise the issue of Erika Kirk, who I have been bothered about. I think there is more there. I think she is a fake. I think she’s a Mossad asset.

The FBI handling of this case is abysmal. Patel should be forced to resign and turn in his badge in disgrace, that is, if his Mossad handlers will let him.

Thanks Mike, you are adept at pointing out the watershed events that most of the rest of us miss. The trajectory of US decline is disturbing, although it must be an exciting time to live for much of the rest of the world, until something worse comes along.

Although on the other hand, there are many Jews in the anti-circumcision movement.

I agree. The Jews are trying to keep it going. To be against circumcision is now, they say, anti-Semitic.

Regarding the current period in the US, which is far more relevant because it directly relates to the author’s comments, I pointed to the control of the American Medical Association during the past (20th) century…Perhaps obsessive Jewish paranoia – wanting to prevent another holocaust – might also have played a motivating factor.

Americans were circumcising themselves long before any significant Jewish immigration.

And from your other recent post:

In summary, it can be seen that doctors in English-speaking countries introduced widespread circumcision of male infants in the late nineteenth century.

This is getting closer to the roots of the truth back in the 19th century. The hysteria produced by the watershed event of Koch’s theory was also an important factor. You are describing some of the many other complex factors that went into the mix.

Pax.

Your claim of causation linked to Robert Koch’s postulates does not appear credible because you failed to explain why such a purported response was confined to “the Anglosphere countries” and failed to influence continental Europe. I could not corroborate your assertion, nor did you cite any source.

Your claim that Jewish physicians are to blame for the widespread and nearly universal circumcision of males in the USA is impossible. You proved nothing. And I can turn your own argument on you. There are also Jewish physicians in Europe, and yet, somehow those doctors have failed to bring circumcision to those countries. Why is that? I’ll tell you the answer, because there is absolutely no way Jewish doctors could in and of themselves turn an entire culture in this direction. There would have to be other powerful factors. I told you what those factors are in the case of the US.

I would generally assume that readers of the Unz Review are interested in knowing the truth of any particular issue, and not where assumptions and fanciful conjectures might lead them. If you are actually interested in the story of how all the English-speaking countries adopted circumcision in the latter half of the nineteenth century, most abandoning it over time, consult the book reviewed in the article I sent you, Circumcision: A History of the World’s Most Controversial Surgery.

A close reading of my original post will show the strong connection between Robert Koch (not mentioned in the quote) and his Germ Theory of Disease (which was). I hope you realize that it is enough to reference Robert Koch by referencing his theory.

And to @israel shamir: from time to time you bring up American male circumcision and relate it to Judaism as if to say Americans somehow have a quasi-Jewish outlook. Well, correlation does not prove causation. The circumcision of Jews and that of Americans has come about through two separate historical pathways, one religious, the other secular. I hope that makes sense.

We have just witnessed a week’s worth of shocking provocations as the U.S. and Britain escalate their proxy war against Russia under the pretense of defending Ukraine in a war that is already lost.

Washington and London — the latter with the former’s assent — have now authorized acted on behalf of the grossly irresponsible regime in Kiev to fire American– and British-made missiles into Russian territory.

The Ukrainians NATO wasted no time doing so. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) The United States launched a volley of U.S.–made ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) missiles at Russian targets last Tuesday. A day later the AFU the UK fired a similar barrage of British-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory.

World War III has already begun.

Jewish enlistees were much less likely to have foreskin related diseases.

Foot amputees are much less likely to have toe jam.

But the history of circumcision is more than just a collection of slightly ribald stories. What I found most interesting was Gollaher’s account of how in the late 19th century circumcision ceased to be the preserve of Jews and Muslims and was transformed, in the United States at least, into a necessary medical procedure that protected against the development of various diseases in later life. One consequence of the germ theory of disease was to see smegma, produced by the foreskin, as infectious material. What better way to cleanse the male body of disease than removing this harbour of infection. (emphasis added by WW)

You are most welcome.

“They can’t help but note that American men are circumcised, and that it is the homeland of Christian Zionism.”

This is a rather generic statement that suggests a religious motivation but ignores the fact that high rates of infant male genital mutilation in the United States arose primarily due to Jewish control of the American Medical Association. Medical coercion and insurance coverage are thus important factors. Also, there exists a wide variation pertaining to the prevalence of this practice. Note my comment – on July 30, 2023 at 3:34 pm GMT – at this site, in which I pointed out, according to recent statistics, that the mutilation rate was as high as 91% in West Virginia but only 10% in Washington and Nevada.

The roots of circumcision in the Anglosphere countries lie in the 19th century publication of Robert Koch’s famous postulates expounding the germ theory of disease. This caused a social revolution, and changes in many areas were made with the goal of eliminating contagion. The battle against germs was joined. For instance, women’s hemlines rose overnight when previously Victorian dresses literally dragged on the ground. Shortening a hemline is not unlike removing a foreskin. A number of fanciful theories arose among physicians on both sides of the Atlantic regarding the foreskin as a source of infection and disease. Circumcision came therefore to be viewed in the 19th century as a matter of life or death. Foreskins harbored germs, and germs were deadly. If circumcision for your newborn son were framed in this way as a life and death issue, it would be a no brainer to accept circumcision.

From this beginning as a way to fight infection as well as other medical and social ills, circumcision entered the cultural mainstream. There it began to acquire a high social status, with uncircumcised males viewed as hicks and hayseeds. By the 1930’s, about half of newborn boys in the US were circumcised and the rate was rising, but around the same time circumcision began to fall out of favor in the UK due to the fact that the National Health Service refused to pay for it.

WWII had a big impact on circumcision in the US. Enlistees were forced by the US military to undergo circumcision using the same logic that badly decayed teeth needed to be removed. Foreskins and tooth decay might reduce fighting capability and thus lose a battle. When the soldiers and sailors returned home, the stage was set, and the baby boys of the post war baby boom were circumcised just like daddy. America had adopted a new cultural practice that had quickly become an integral part of the American male identity.

While Jewish physicians may have had some success in counseling their patients to accept circumcision for their children, or Jewish elements within the AMA may have pushed circumcision, the true story is more complicated, since Gentile physicans had been recommending circumcision since Robert Koch. But you are discounting an even more potent social force, i.e., the Judaizing element among evangelical Christians with a particular biblical worldview that lionized the Jews. They embraced circumcision readily, and they also gave rise to the Christian Zionists of today, the ones that support the Israeli genocide of Gaza and Lebanon.

So many, many complicated factors went in to the formation of the peculiar American custom of circumcision. It is not simplistic. It is definitely not all just the Jews in the AMA.

I have always wondered about Frank Church’s untimely death at age 59 of pancreatic cancer. Rumors are the CIA has the ability to seed cancer in their targets, and that it has been done more than once.

I found his (H.G. Wells) hypothesis (large scale Phoenician and Carthaginian conversion of the Jews) quite convincing at the time and have always been surprised that no one else seems to have ever taken it up in the hundred years since it was first proposed.

It’s an interesting, but implausible theory. As a notoriously difficult people to rule, the Jews had fought and lost two major wars with Rome from 66 to 136 AD that resulted in the destruction of the Temple after the first, and the razing and renaming of Jerusalem after the second.

The Phoenicians and Carthaginians would have been distancing themselves from the Jews, not converting.

He can wear one ex cathedra now.

I think that you have read a lot of your own views into what I wrote, and that to some extent you have misunderstood me. If you want to know what the Orthodox Church teaches, read the Church Fathers.

You are most likely right, probably that was photoshopped. I should have been more careful.

However, bishops holding out against the LGTBQ agenda are fired, while German bishops permit blessings of homosexual relationships. Meanwhile Bertoglio says nothing. He might as well wear a rainbow pectoral cross.

Indeed it is not. It is the clear unambiguous teaching of the Ancient Church; we are responsible for our own sins, not the sins of our ancestors who brought sin into the world and created the environment of sin. Sin is conceived of as more of a disease, requiring Christ’s healing. The Ancient Church, the Early Church, the Orthodox Church, is as far from secular humanism as you can get. They worshipped (some still do) and they gladly died for Christ.

…I have a congenital allergic reaction to Unitarianism and more importantly to the Puritanism which spawned the Unitarian reaction by promulgating the distorted notion of Original Sin that goes by the term innate or total depravity.

You actually have no congenital allergic reaction to Unitarianism. You have been fully immunized with all of your boosters. The process of innovation, i.e., in this case, mutation from a trinitarian to a unitarian theology, is embedded within the DNA of the Latin Church. It’s been going on for more than a millennium. Unitarians merely innovated further than the Puritans.

The Puritans, the Calvinists simply logically extended St Augustine’s concept of Original Sin to total depravity. And they did this in the same spirit, I might add, that Catholics embraced the innovations that the Frankish bishops forcibly injected into the Latin Church in the tenth century. Protestants are really no more than logical Catholic zombies. That’s why when they say they are Reformed, what they mean is that they are Reformed Catholics. Today both Protestants and Catholics are still innovating in the Western Church. Gay Anglican clergy? LGTBQ youth group meeting in the Methodist Church? Wasn’t that a rainbow pectoral cross recently sported by the Pope?

Original Sin itself is an innovation of St Augustine, or maybe better, an exaggeration and distortion of the Orthodox and Catholic teaching of Ancestral Sin. Ancestral Sin is a heavy enough of a burden, teaching that while we are born into an environment of iniquities we are not responsible for the guilt of all of our ancestors. The guilt of our own sins is bad enough, believe me.

Catholic theology, and the theology of the Western Church as a whole, claiming that we all collectively bear the guilt of our forebears, or, at the very least and that we are born guilty as sinners, as opposed to being born into a sinful environment, is the source of much wrong thinking. The idea of collective racial guilt comes to mind. Are you dismayed by the beliefs of the woke? That all whites bear responsibility for all harm done to Blacks? That’s just the theology of the West speaking. Thank St Augustine. Thank the Frankish bishops. Thank the Latin Church. Thank the Unitarians. Thank the process of theological innovation.

Thank you, Laurent Guyénot. After reviewing this article and a couple of videos commemorating the 60th anniversary of the JFK assassination this weekend, you have convinced me that the idea of the CIA killing JFK is a red herring limited hangout. It was the Mossad.

I wish all Americans could be made aware of what the “special relationship” has cost us as a nation.

Which explains why CAPA’s chairman Cyril Wecht, the forensic pathologist tirelessly

denouncing

the lie of the “single bullet,” was a friend of Arlen Specter, the inventor of that lie whom he helped become U.S. senator in 2004.

Don’t you mean to say “promoting?” Because what you have written is the opposite of what I think you intend to say. Perhaps it is the word pair dénoncer/denounce that has lead you astray. It appears to have a slightly more ambiguous meaning in French than in English, but I could be wrong about that, so I’ll leave it to your judgement.

By the way your film is superb.

This outline of the plan to curb China by severing its transportation network brilliantly postulates a rationale for the US to launch protracted wars in Mackinder’s World Island. Ultimately this plan will fail, but not before dealing misery and death across the world. It will fail first of all because (see the Rise and Fall of the Great Powers) whenever a hegemon emerges, other states form alliances in order to bring it down, and these alliance are invariably successful. This is happening as we speak as the multipolar world coalesces. Secondly, and this is a corollary to the first point, cutting China’s transportation infrastructure will drive Russia and China even closer, in a desperate embrace for survival. China will get enough of what it needs from Russia (and vice versa) and from other friendly states. Thirdly, at the same time the US Empire is asserting its authority to project power anywhere in the world, its foundations are rotting and the bonds of social cohesion are being deliberately ripped to shreds. It not longer has the resources or the will to fight a war on two or more fronts. Soon no platform will be left from which to project power and nobody will want to fight the Empire’s wars. And finally, the last reason why the plan will fail is that judgment is coming, sooner or later.

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Can you expand on your statement and comment on whether –in your opinion– the US would have been better-off had Lincoln allowed the South to succeed secede from the Union splitting the country into two separate parts forever?

Great article, really informative, notwithstanding a voice to text snafu.

Ron, you should listen to this short six minute video by Dr David Martin. He is coming close to having the same opinion of the covid origin as you, except he focuses on the gain of function research that weaponized the virus as being funded by Anthony Fauci. He doesn’t quite say it was deliberately introduced, but it is implied. Maybe the two of you should get together and have a discussion.

https://plandemicseries.com/davidmartin/

The conflict between the United States and Russia will determine whether global economic integration will expand within an evolving multi-polar system or if the “rules-based order” will succeed in crushing any opponent to its Western-centric model.

The West has been very open about the goal of defeating, dismembering and controlling Russia. But China isn’t about to let that happen and it’s surprising that the neocons in charge haven’t realized this. It is in China’s best interest to continue trading with an intact Russian state for its rich natural resources, and Russia’s collapse into smaller statelets would send those resources to the West. Therefore it is in China’s best interest to back Russia in the Ukraine.

For twenty years, the official policies of the US government have had the unintended consequence of pushing Russia and China together, such that Sino-Russian cooperation became a logical option and in fact a matter of survival for both countries. History has shown over and over that when a hegemon emerges, other nations unite and bring it down. That’s what’s happening now.

It is the height of hubris to think that the US can take on both Russia and China at the same time but the US government is being run by extremely stupid people, and that’s where we’re at. It’s all going to be a major fail. Sit back, grab the popcorn and wait for it.

Thanks Mike for another outstanding article. You must be doing something right. Nobody brings out the troll like you. Keep up the good work.

The most popular girls’ name in Washington by far is actually Sophia/Sofia/Sophie at 84, not Charlotte at 49.

The top two boys’ names in West Virginia, are by far:
Grayson/Greyson, 136 and Jackson/Jaxon, 117; Liam, supposedly the most popular, at 108 is a distant 3rd.

For girls’ names in West Virginia, Ellie/Ella ties with Amelia for top spot at 92,
while second spot goes to Everleigh/Everly at 80, not Harper at 73.

Does it signify anything that there are no doubles for Washington boys’ names?

Thank you Mike for another great article that shovels away the bull shit and in clear, concise language lays out the case for manipulation and disinformation by the Empire of Lies.

I love your columns. Good to have you back.

It’s sad what a once mighty journalist can be reduced to by relying on news from WaPo, NYT and CNN.

If these are lies it should be easily refuted by western journalists. That has not happened.

So, with all of this dire news about the devastated Russian Army pouring in, I imagine that Vladimir Putin was curled up in the fetal position in his office, sobbing uncontrollably and begging for a bottle of vodka (Polish vodka at that) to drown his sorrow.. Right?

Nope, Putin was in Samarkand meeting with world leaders from other countries. Pretty strange behavior for a man whose political future is dead because of the ass-kicking delivered by Ukraine. In fact, he even had time to meet with his Chinese counterpart:

In his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin since the start of the Ukraine conflict earlier this year, Xi Jinping said that China was willing to work with Russia as “great powers”, AFP reported. The two leaders met in Uzbekistan ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Samarkand, which kicks off from September 16.

In the meeting, Putin condemned “attempts to create unipolar world” and praised China’s “balanced” position on the Ukraine crisis.

The participation of Chinese President Xi Jinping in the summit has created a buzz as he has not attended any global event out of China in more than two years over Covid concerns.

Looks like a major intelligence failure in China because President Xi Jinping was not informed that Putin is on his way out. Normally, a Chinese official of Xi’s stature would not want to be seen anywhere near someone whose political career is swirling down the toilet.

Yes, he needs to reconsider the jab. I personally know two people who suffered coronaries within a day or two of the jab, although they got prompt medical care and survived. But I also have friends who lost loved ones (two) shortly after the jab, one a healthy man in his forties and the other a healthy man in his seventies. If you answer these four cases are coincidences, I would say that is possible but highly unlikely. If the vaccine were safe and complications as rare as claimed, me, just an average guy, would not be aware of at least 4 serious complications, two of which were fatal, directly following the jab. If complications were very rare, it would be very rare for someone to even know of a single complication. I imagine many here could verify my casual observations with their own observations.

I think Ron will come around. While he understands that the media can be co-opted for purposes of control, it’s a more difficult step for someone to come to the conclusion that even medicine and science can be co-opted for purposes of control, especially for someone that holds the empirical method in high esteem, which I imagine he does (I do as well). Nevertheless, sooner or later I believe he will get there, especially if those opposing vaccination dial down the ignorant and shrill comments. FYI I felt your comment, and I hope mine as well, was measured and dispassionate.

These circumstances might seem to provide a perfect opening for the alternative media to play a crucial role, covering the important matters that a compromised mainstream media has so carefully avoided. And such heavy alternative coverage might eventually force mainstream outlets to follow along and report those facts as well, lest they be abandoned as uselessly dishonest by too many of their regular readers.

Unfortunately, with very few exceptions, alternative media outlets have remained just as silent as their mainstream rivals.

But you appear to be overlooking the possibility that even alternative media outlets might become CIA assets. We know this from Ed Wisner bragging about his Great Wurlitzer, his control of the media and thereby the population. We know this from the German journalist Udo Ulfkotte who confessed to succumbing to CIA pressure to pass on planted stories and implicated journalists everywhere. He paid for that with his life.

If the CIA can co-opt the mainstream media, it wouldn’t take much to entice alternative media. The alternative media is cash-strapped. The CIA is flush. And the CIA would be highly incentivized to swiftly kill a story of the US government engineering a deadly virus and deliberately unleashing it on the world

He often tends to come up short on the evidence. Romanoff produces lots of grand conceptualizations but his handling of the details is inconsistent and therefore unreliable.

Similarly, it was another Jew, one of the Malthusian cult whose name escapes me at the moment, who was sent to China with instructions to cull the Chinese population – for the good of all humanity.

And what serious writer of history says “whose name escapes me at the moment?” Leave that to informal and convivial discussions over whiskey, but don’t put that in a published work.

@Larry Romanoff

Larry, I am not a troll and this is a fair question. If you have actual evidence, now would be the time to produce it.

No CNN is not on board. That article doesn’t support the idea that Kyle enjoyed exploding toddlers’ heads from 1000 yards.

The footnote #33 doesn’t support your contention that Chris Kyle’s favorite kill was exploding a child’s head at 1000 yards, while the child was being held in his mother’s arms. In that article, “bug splat” is more of a generic term for drone kills.

What is the true source, if any, of the alleged favorite kill of Chris Kyle? Or is this just propaganda from another direction than what we usually see? Dead children make a most powerful meme.

Quite a few years later, I also read the book and unlike you, found it an interesting and enjoyable read. One explanation for that is that the movie preconditioned me for the main story line in the book. Another possibility is the fact that I have read quite a bit of other Russian literature, both in college and later on over the years, and have always enjoyed the genre.

Agreed. The Russian writers stand at the apex of Western literature. I enjoyed reading Dr Zhivago, but liked even better the novel by Sholokhov covering the same period, And Quiet Flows the Don. Of course the works of Dostoevsky, in my opinion the number one novelist of all time, and Tolstoy, the runner up, are incomparable.

A continuation of the covid vaxxing debate, because if there’s anything Mr Unz likes it’s comments, lots of comments. He doesn’t really care if you agree or disagree with him, or that re- this discussion, biology appears to be one of his weaker skill sets. And he probably thinks most of you are idiots, likely myself more than most. Nevertheless great numbers of comments appear to be a kind of rubric by which he measures the health of his webzine, and who knows by what arcane alchemy he works his magic? Without Google, without Facebook, our Unz.com is still standing.

Your DNA profile doesn’t necessarily display all the racial genes of your ancestors. That is a misconception. Rely on your family genealogy to tell you if your great-grandmother was Cherokee, not a DNA test. Elizabeth Warren is a case in point.

“…the seizure of the North American continent was an act of international thuggery on every level. That is, of course, NOT to say good people did not exist then or did not live righteously or, even less so, that anybody in the modern USA has any kind of personal guilt over any of this.”

What a strange thing for you to say, mon cher suisse. Personal guilt? Most Americans have some Indian blood. Are we to feel personal guilt over what some of our ancestors did to some of our other ancestors? I think that most of us acknowledge the injustice of stealing the land, intentionally spreading smallpox on contaminated blankets, killing Indian non-combatants, women and children, and the outrages of Sand Creek, Wounded Knee, Hangman Creek and other sundry massacres and outrages too numerous and too unknown to mention. If we feel anything, we feel conflicted, and most of all, we feel cut off from those who acted on both sides of the equation. We can see their haunting sepia images in old photographs, we can imagine their thoughts, but we cannot touch them, we cannot reproduce their religious beliefs or their encyclopedic knowledge of the land.

Agree.

Ron Unz, you believe in magic. I defy you to plot the impact of masks and social distancing on the epidemiological death curve.

What is great about concocting up a niche schtick like Anglin’s is that his White Separatist prescriptions are totally infeasible therefore perpetually repeatable.

Which means that he will play his deluded followers for chumps over and over with the same boilerplate script convincing them to send him their hard earned dollars over and over. I.e. The Daily Stormer is a perpetual money machine with Anglin merely moving the same White Supremacist food around the plate.

Before an incipient chump clicks on the “Donate to The Daily Stormer” link, he/she should first find out how much Anglin is paying himself for merely gas-bagging the endless variations of his now totally played script.

“300 American military servicemen had just visited Wuhan as part of the Military World Games, providing a perfect opportunity for releasing a viral weapon,” he noted, calling the scenario “a strange coincidence.”

Unless I am mistaken, in your latest article on the origins of the pandemic you abandoned the idea that the virus was introduced into Wuhan during the military games. I could see why the Chinese would be interested in that angle, though.

Thank you Dr Roberts for calling attention to this important interview that needs to get even wider distribution. Quoting from this article.

Having comprehended the information in my article, you are aware that you have been manipulated into compliance with a secret agenda. You are now prepared to face powerful and conclusive documented evidence presented by Dr. David Martin that Covid was an intentional release, not a leak from a lab or a natural virus from bats.

Note also that UNC, NIAID, and Moderna began making the spike protein “vaccine” prior to the outbreak of the pandemic.

Here’s a transcript from the interview that explains that. It is found right after the quote from the interview at the 29-30 minute mark in the Paul Craig Roberts article.

…there wasn’t a lab leak, this was an intentional bioweaponization of spike proteins to inject into people to get them addicted to a pan-coronavirus vaccine. This has nothing to do with a pathogen that was released and every study that’s ever been launched to try to verify a lab leak is a red herring.

(Question: And there’s really nothing that is new in this…)

Nothing. Zero. 73 patents on everything clinically novel. 73 all issued before 2019. And I’m going to give you the biggest bombshell of all to prove that this was actually not a release of anything, because patent 7279327, the patent on the recombinant nature of that lung-targeting coronavirus, was transferred mysteriously from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to the National Institutes of Health in 2018. Now here’s the problem with that. Under the Bayh-Dole Act, the US Government already has what’s called a march-in right provision. That means that if the US Government has paid for research, they are entitled to benefit from that research at their demand or at their whim. So explain why in 2017 and 2018, suddenly the National Institutes of Health have to take ownership of the patent, that they already had rights to, held by the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. And how did they need to file a certificate of correction to make sure that it was legally enforceable, because there was a typographical error in the grant reference in the first filing. So they needed to make sure that not only did they get it right but they needed to make sure that every typographical error that was contained in the patent was correct on the single patent required to develop the Vaccine Research Institute’s mandate which was shared between the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in November of 2019 and Moderna, in November of 2019, when UNC Chapel Hill, NIAID and Moderna began the sequencing of a spike protein vaccine a month before an outbreak every happened.

(Question: You have all the evidence, right?)

Yep.

San Juan de Cosala has a university? And I thought they only had a water park. Anyway, thanks for enriching my Mexican Spanish vocabulary with the amusing names.

If there is one lesson, then, that we can take from the tragic events adumbrated herein – and, though hardly new, is a notion that bears vigorously reinforcing – it is that whatever information is fed us by the state and by the corporate mass media with regard to fundamental global strategic happenings, the only historically consistent and logical stance to take is to assume that the truth lies 180 degrees in the opposite direction. This should be our default position, until proof is rendered otherwise, in every instance.

Yes. I have read enough of these kinds of alternative narratives, mostly on Unz, to begin to notice a pattern, i.e., Washington behind the scenes, manipulating, killing, stealing resources. I think taking the opposite tack of what the fakestream media presents, unless the facts prove otherwise, is an excellent strategy.

Kudos to Ms. Webb. As usual. She is amassing a kudos collection.

Kudos always to Ms Webb. She has a way of pulling all of the facts together and painting the Big Picture. She exploded on the scene just a few years ago, yet she rivals the finest investigative journalists. Yet everything she writes has to be open source, working from her remote location.

Were “The Elderly… Killed in Hospitals”… During the Pandemic?

We don’t have enough evidence here to say so. There are legitimate uses of midazolam, known in the US as Versed. It’s not just for execution of prisoners and killing off the excess elderly in nursing homes and hospitals. Midazolam is a member of the class of drugs called benzodiazepines. They are used as tranquilizers, and all of them can cause respiratory depression.

Another scenario is consistent with the evidence presented here. For instance, prior to the Covid outbreak it was widely thought that America’s good economic performance in combination with Trump’s “America First” hardline approach to international trade negotiation was likely to result in his reelection. The failure of the Russiagate investigation and the later impeachment to fundamentally erode Trump’s support left his enemies (particularly in the “deep state”) with a strong motive to consider more dramatic measures within their capabilities. Thus it does not seem a coincidence that a virus with a low lethality/high infection rate, designed primarily as an economic weapon, was used to intimidate the American people to accept a near-total shutdown of the economy as well as a wholesale justification for the acceptance of mass mail-in (i.e. unverifiable) ballots. If China had been the primary target of a covert American attack, then one would expect that travel from there would have been blocked immediately; but as I recall, this prudential measure was hysterically dismissed by Trump’s opponents as “xenophobic” and ruled out of bounds. Indeed, the Chinese government might even have known about the release in advance, accepting the short-term hit to their economy in order to support the nascent coup (led by the American deep state) against the only president to seriously threaten their leverage over America’s manufacturing dependence on them. After all, any release of a lethal biological agent by a foreign power is by definition an act of war, but if Unz is correct, the Chinese have been curiously non-vigorous in their response to it. Was this a tag-team effort by external and internal forces to eliminate a common foe?

Covid was just one facet of a Deep State color revolution against a sitting US president. The covert introductions into China and Iran were feints.

Just as European countries were pausing the AstraZeneca covid vaccine due to blood clotting issues, the US in its unselfish generosity gave Mexico 5 million doses of AstraZeneca.

Thanks.

From the CDC website:

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells to make a harmless piece of what is called the “spike protein.” The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Emphasis added. The CDC might want to revise their understanding of the harmless nature of the spike protein in light of the recent Salk information.

Mike, you might want to look at this critique of the Salk study from a surgeon-scientist writing from the pro-vaccine side. I think the writer engages in fallacies of the strawman and ad hominem variety, but he does provide a clearly written view of why he thinks the study, actually a pre-published non peer reviewed research letter doesn’t show what you and I think it does. I would be interested in your opinion of it.

https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/05/04/about-that-salk-institute-paper-on-the-deadly-covid-19-spike-protein/

I mean, does that look like the sort of place, where someone would build a wooden cabin? Not to me, and Monument Valley has certainly been used tastelessly and discordantly in other realms, like the TV show Game of Thrones.

No, it doesn’t look like a place somebody would build a cabin, and it doesn’t look like a place in Texas, where the story locates it. I thought Ford used way too many shots of Monument Valley, much of the movie is shot there and it is one of the weaknesses of the film. There is such an intentional metaphysical intensity in use of these natural surroundings that the dialog by comparison seems seems trite and contrived. What monumental words can be spoken that are appropriate or commensurate to the stately bluffs of Monument Valley? There is really nothing to say, all you can really do is walk off without a word into the night and disappear into the ontology of myth…

CCP is an acronym in English (Chinese Communist Party). CCCP is an acronym in Russian using Cyrillic letters (translteration: Soyuz Sovietski Socialistechki Respubliki). They are not related.

Perhaps the fact that large numbers in Africa and the Middle East take hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for malaria, and ivermectin for numerous helminthic infestations, and all three are highly effective in protecting from CoViD19 disease and curing it if infected (in ivermectin’s case only), might explain some of the difference, too.

I do rather think that the hydroxychloroquine saga reveals a great deal.
Chloroquine was identified as useful against SARSCoV1 back in the day, so it was tried this time, as was hydroxychloroquine, in vitro, on SARS CoV2, and looked effective. Moreover there was evidence that those on HCQ for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis etc, had been remarkably safe from CoViD19 despite risk factors of age, co-morbidities and body habitus. So a few clinicians, like Raoult, tried it out, and had great success, when it was used early, as soon after diagnosis as possible, before CoViD19 had set it.
Immediately the Western Medical Mafias, who we MUST remember are in the pockets of BigPharma, began an amazing campaign of repression against HCQ use. Lies concerning its dangerousness in cardiac terms, were backed up by the Surgisphere study, published in Lancet and the NEJM, to much fakestream media presstitute gibbering and capering. Regretably it was immediately seen to be faked, and after a delay, it was withdrawn, a process that the same fakestream vermin TOTALLY suppressed.
Meanwhile Trump had recommended it, so every ‘Woke’ ignoramus immediately declared it toxic waste, of no use whatsoever, a position that still pertains in Austfailia. Complementarily, the deranged Right declared it a panacea, for the same reason-Trump’s endorsement, but, this time, they were correct.While HCQ remains anathema in the ‘civilized West’, it is being used worldwide, with good success, but no reader of the fakestream media would know that, because the presstitute vermin totally suppress the facts. It is still declared ‘dangerous’ despite billions of doses over decades, with NO cardiac deaths identified by a WHO meta-analysis in 2016.
One wonders how many avoidable deaths have been caused by this jihad, and to what end. To force us to take experimental ‘vaccines’? It certainly looks like it, for BigPharma profiteering and God knows what more sinister motives. The similar repression of the even more effective ivermectin further induces grim surmise.

This two-pronged attack on Russia AND on China is not a coincidence. The Biden regime prepares for war. A new Raider Bomber B-21 is in preparation, it is reported…

“One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off…”

I posted that comment exactly one year ago to the day, and my suspicions haven’t changed, but I think that an enormous amount of additional evidence has since come out to support them.

The CIA and FBI infiltrate criminal organizations, why not infiltrate rogue elements of their own organizations? We can assume ignorance on the part of the Deep State NeoCons for the viral blowback in the US and Europe, as you do with the analogy of the teenager setting the neighbor’s house on fire that ultimately damages his own. But in the higher circles, those that stand behind the NeoCons, there would have been access to expert virologists, there would be a whole chain of custody for the pathogen. I’m using all of your work, I’m just adding another layer behind what might seem to be an obvious attack on China in November 2019, the goal of a color revolution in the US in 2020.

Ron,

One can survey the damage following a year of coronavirus from another angle, that of cui bono, to whom the benefit? Covid was likely a US attack on China, but can it be said that the US benefitted by use of such a biological weapon? China was only lightly damaged while the US economy has ground to a halt in most places and US dead now stands at 550,000. Yet I agree with your analysis that elements of the CIA likely introduced the virus into China at the military games in November 2019. But I’m not sure this was done with the ultimate goal of damaging China. Rather it seems that this was part of a complicated regime change plot in the US, possibly the most intricate such operation ever attempted, involving many different facets of which the coronavirus was only one. Introducing the virus into China only provided plausible deniability for the CIA responsibility for millions of covid deaths, conveniently provided by a biological weapons lab located in the vicinity of Wuhan. The real goal all along was removing Trump from office. If this is true, how ironic that the Trump Administration did all it could to discredit China for releasing the virus, they only provided cover for those elements within the Deep State responsible for its release. Since the virus is likely a bioweapon, those responsible for releasing it would most likely have known that Asian populations would not be impacted to the extent that those in the US and Europe would be. The pandemic, the lockdowns, the anxiety, and many other elements, all part of a complex color revolution. Trump would likely have cruised to re-election absent the coronavirus. So, cui bono? Not Trump. The evidence, as you have shown, points to the US as the ultimate source of the virus and regime change was the reason.

QAnon does not follow as a result of the #MeToo but both were used for the same general purpose. While #MeToo was allowed to happen to take down Trump as you point out, QAnon on the other hand was a Deep State psy-op specifically designed to neutralize Trump supporters and discourage their political involvement at the local level, a point of view I agree with and one I heard from Alex Jones. There are many indicators within the text of the “drops” themselves that QAnon was being run by those familiar with undercover operations. As for PizzaGate, we know there is something to that from other sources like John Podesta’s hacked emails.

Satan in Latin is first declension, so it should be Malleus Satanae. Alternatively you could express it as an adjective, Malleus Satanicus.

…why are Israelis being treated to the vaccine so hard, if it is dangerous or even just risky?

Netanyahu is betting that mass covid vaccination will be a success, and that it will keep him from going to prison.

Classen’s paper, an analysis and not a scientific study which I read and did not skim, presents a cogent argument for the possibility that the mRNA vaccines could result in the pathological folded protein configurations of prion diseases.

According to the Wikipedia entry you cited, Beall’s list was de-activated in January 2017, 4 years before the publication of Classen’s article. Furthermore Beall’s list mischaracterized publications at least 20% of the time, according to the same Wikipedia entry.

How do we then explain the peculiar anomaly that is reported in Israel and Britain: a ‘decline’ in cases on the one hand, a sharp exponential rise in deaths on the other?

For COVID-19 “vaccines”* the animal trials were skipped. No coronavirus vaccines made it out of animal trials in years past. This is because after “vaccination,” when the animals were exposed to the wild virus, they ALL died from a resultant overreaction of the immune system, a cytokine storm. Perhaps this is the explanation for the rise in deaths observed in England and Israel immediately following “vaccination.” Vaccination should be halted until this question can be fully answered.

*The COVID-19 “vaccines” do not conform to the specific medical definition of a vaccine, injection of an attenuated pathogen or antigen that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies, they are more along the lines of gene therapy, injection of mRNA as a carrier for the antigen when is then reproduced in the human cells, secondarily producing the immune response.

Christian Zionism from an anti-interventionist Episcopalian? What’s your evidence? I have watched Tucker Carlson for years and I can’t recall anything from him sounding remotely like Christian Zionism, and I think I certainly would have noticed.

But I wasn’t necessarily hoping Trump would take the sledge hammer only to Zionists, a sub-set of the Anglo-Zionist Empire. I do not agree with Trump’s Zionism or his assassination of Soleimani. I was hoping he would demolish the Empire itself in entirety. And it seems like Trump has at the very least been a catalyst for accelerated destruction. Reading Pepe Escobar here today, it seems that this process is likely to continue under Biden. It’s interesting to think that history will think of the Bush-Obama administrations as a unit, but maybe as well, the Trump-Biden administrations as another unit. A unit of imperial decline. Furthermore, you realize of course when you say Trump is Zio, you are saying he’s a member of your family. He’s your uncle.

Some of us supported Trump in the hope that he would take a sledge hammer to the American Anglo-Zionist Empire. We have not been disappointed. Biden will not be able to stop the process, he will only accelerate what Trump has started. I think the Saker is telling us that at the end of the process of imperial degradation, we can have the hope that we will get our normal country back again.

If Sheldon Adelson was a malignant toad, what reproach shall we heap on George Soros at his passing?

‘Give Kyle Rittenhouse the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Citation: Volunteering to protect Kenosha businesses while Democratic politicians incited riot and insurrection and then stopping the Kenosha riot with well aimed shooting of Antifa, BLM insurrectionists.’

Do that. Seriously. Kyle Rittenhouse is the kind of kid who volunteered for the Marine Corps the day after Pearl Harbor. The problem isn’t him; the problem’s the rest of the country.

Being The Short Kid in school is more of a debit than being the Black Kid, especially when it comes to high school sports…

Cry me a river, everybody has a complaint about some physical attribute. You think it’s easy being the tall galoot? Be happy in your own skin.

Trump’s luck failed because the Democrats engineered the theft of the election in the most blatant, grotesque way.

For one thing, it is now abundantly clear that some cops deliberately let a (rather small) subset of protestors not only across police lines but even inside the Capitol Building itself.

The subset deliberately let in by the police while Trump spoke to the crowd half an hour away were QAnon folks along with a few BLM/Antifa agents provocateurs. Q it seems clear is a Deep State psy op designed to catalyze the Capitol riot. https://banned.video/watch?id=5ffbd6768bb88439bde71d42

Raz of Chaz and MAGA Viking are both BLM/Antifa assets. It’s a moot question about who did the techno-barbarian asset better, unless you consider nuanced perceptions that amount to little, or you don’t believe in false flag operations.

Including both writers and commenters, this website provides a platform for a vast number of differing critiques of the standard narrative, the overwhelming majority of which strongly disagree with each other. Since they disagree in so many ways, they obviously can’t all be right, and I expect that almost all of them are wrong. Indeed, when I’ve looked into some of their claims, they nearly always seem wrong, and usually far more wrong than the MSM.

Given your rather low opinion of both your writers and your commenters, how do you propose to survive censorship of the Unz Review by Big Tech? What is then your rationale for continuing to offer this website as “an alternative media selection?” Why should any of us read this when you as the publisher have such a low opinion of most of what is produced in the columns or the comments?

False flag operation.

It’s happened before. King County, Washington (then Oregon) in 1852 was named after Vice-President William Rufus King under President Franklin Pierce. In 2005, King County was officially re-named after Dr. Martin Luther King. A disturbing disembodied rendering based on Dr. King’s face made white and defined by black shadows was adopted as the county’s logo.

As for the “deplorables” – they have been neutralized by stealing the election.

Neutralized? No way José, the deplorables are mad as hornets about the stolen election and are just getting started. And they have their Second Amendment assets, and it’s not even January 20th yet.

Except the coup already took place in the form of highly organized election fraud.

You might enjoy life a bit more and have less personal conflict if you could learn to just let these little mistakes pass, they are not what’s important, meaning is what’s important. Since English is not Saker’s first language, I think we can all forgive him for a minor stylistic peccadillo that no doubt he picked up from native English speakers. It is a common enough mistake and source of confusion as you point out. I for one wish I could speak just two or three of the six or seven languages he does with his remarkable level of proficiency.

Those favoring the continuance of Empire might note that, even at this, Trump has been a disaster. The First Rule of Empire is Don’t let your enemies unite. Trump, having made Russia and China into enemies (why?) has forced them to unite. This is—how shall I put it?—stupid.

This isn’t accurate, letting Russia and China unite was a notable feature of the Obama administration and probably goes back further than that. Remember the pivot to Asia? Remember Victoria Nuland handing out cookies at the Maidan? But you are absolutely right about Trump solely pushing Iran into the arms of Russia and China.

Consciousness is outside of linear time but diminishes into it as a kind of imprisoning illusion.

Bingo. Illusions like seeing a coiled rope as a coiled snake.

And this brings us, finally, to the essential point of these metaphysical considerations: the fact that perception takes place in a nunc stans, and thus “above time,” entails that perceiving is not, strictly speaking, a psychosomatic act: the faculty by which we perceive proves not to be psychosomatic, but spiritual, and that spiritual faculty is what tradition terms intellect.

–Wolfgang Smith, Science and Myth, 2010

The facts are unfortunately undeniable: top government officials, including Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio, are alarmed by the sharp rise in C19 Cases…

Case numbers are meaningless, especially with the fraught PCR test. It has been known for 170 years that the way to know when an epidemic is over is the epidemiological death curve. Covid deaths in NY are below 1 per million per day. Herd immunity has already been achieved because 50% of the population has crossover immunity from previous coronavirus infections. The pandemic is finished in New York, everything else is just media hysterics and grasping for political power. But, I repeat myself.

If so, the increase in tested cases of the virus will not translate into as many deaths as in the first wave of infections, and this should be apparent in about 28 days time.

No, it won’t result in as many deaths as at first, quite the contrary. This can easily be demonstrated by comparing epidemiological curves for cases and for deaths. Case numbers are rising, deaths are down. You can verify this yourself by playing around with various epidemiological curves from the website below.

It has been known since the 1850’s and the work of Dr. John Snow with cholera in London that the end of an epidemic is indicated by the death curve, when the deaths from the epidemic fall back into line with the rest of the deaths from all sources within a population. Covid deaths in Europe and in many places in the US are currently below 1 per million per day. Case numbers are irrelevant, and are made even more irrelevant by the fraught PCR test and it’s notorious false positives (and likely false negatives). A case in point is when my daughter appeared at work with mild flu symptoms and was sent home and to get a covid test. While the test game back negative, nevertheless she was instructed to isolate for 14 days. Such is the confidence the medical community has in the accuracy of the PCR test, results of which are used by politicians to determine public policy.

Thank you Saker for sharing this sad news. I had not heard of Steven Cohen’s passing. He was a voice for peace and reason in the midst of imperial chaos. I enjoyed his articles and interviews. He filled a large space and he leaves a huge gap. Requiescat in pace.
