9/11: The Woman At The Edge Of The Abyss

2 Comments

By Douglas Herman via Rense
Who was she? Does anyone know? Did any New York newspaper ever identify her? Yet she remains indelible in the photograph, her image forever poised at the brink, appearing almost calm although her fear must have been overpowering. She stands at the edge of an abyss, her arm grasping a wrecked window frame while her foot slips perilously close to space. Befitting the moment, her image grows indistinct the more one tries to focus.

womantrappe.jpg

We see her standing there, minutes from death. Forthright in appearance, she appears almost delicate nonetheless, like a curious child. Yet she must have been terrified. She must have been shocked. But mostly she must have been very brave. The woman at the edge of the abyss was someone’s daughter, sister, lover, friend. Actually there are two women in the maw of wreckage. One–the one we see–stands courageously at the very edge of the North Tower. To her right another woman sprawls at the edge of the debris (how hot can it be?), peering down, suffering from vertigo. Farther to their right, a man waits in the shadows, stunned, shirtless. We owe this unknown woman an enormous debt, every one of us who stubbornly serves the painful truth–in whatever fashion–against formidible resistance. She may as well be Lady Liberty, poised before a great chasm, uncertain whether to stand strong and await rescue, or fling herself down, a symbol of a doomed republic. We owe this unknown women on the 94th floor a great debt because she bravely made herself visible. She did not cower in the shadows. The woman at the edge of the abyss is the bold rebuttal to the overwhelming lies of the state and the state-supported media. Why? Recall that well-paid experts testified that all three (3) towers collapsed due to intense heat. Yet here we see a pair of women, heavily dressed, standing on what should have been red hot steel. Does she, and her suppine twin, look ready to melt? At that exact moment, numerous New York firefighters struggled upwards, burdened with equipment, confident they could contain the fires. They radioed back that they could “knock down” the fire. Ironically, at about the time of their radio report, the building was knocked down on them. Never before had one building collapsed, and certainly not three of them, so stoutly built.

WTC%20Fires.jpg

The official story, of the collapse of the trio of WTC buildings, is an obvious, government lie. But cracks are beginning to show in the official version. Finally, patriotic Americans are beginning to trickle forward and say what these women knew all along. The WTC fires were a classic case of smoke and mirrors, a nefarious crime certainly, an act of terrorism assuredly. The state either conspired to kill the young woman or allowed others to do it for draconian reasons. “Photos show people walking around in the hole in the North Tower where 10,000 gallons of jet fuel were supposedly burning,” said Morgan Reynolds, former chief economist for the US Department of Labor under George W. Bush. “By the time the South Tower was hit, most of the North Tower,s flames had already vanished, burning for only 16 minutes…The fire did not grow over time, probably because it quickly ran out of fuel and was suffocating rather than the sprinkler system dousing the fires.” Morgan may be the highest government official–thus far–to speak openly about the crime lurking behing the crime. “If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an ‘inside job’ and a government attack on America would be compelling,” said Reynolds, Why should anyone care about an unknown woman they do not even know–that no one knows? Aside from her courage (would You have stood so close to the edge?), she repudiates a great lie. That intense and prolonged fires melted steel, weakening the trusses that this young woman allegedly stood upon, causing not one, not two, but THREE buildings to collapse! She repudiates the Official Government Version of Events–lies–which all too frequently becomes a nation’s history. Thus we owe her a great debt of gratitude. Had she not stood there, within view of everyone, the government might have gotten away with claims of blast furnace temperatures sufficent to weaken steel. Instead she stood her ground so to speak, until explosionsoccurred and brought those three buildings down around her and almost 3,000 others. The woman at the edge of the abyss is Rachel Corrie. She is the ghost of Joan of Arc and she is every witch falsely accused, sentenced, and burned at Salem. The woman at the abyss is every victim of a great crime, a great cover-up, and a great lie, perpetrated by the state for the benefit of the state. She is your daughter, your friend, your sister. Do not forget her.

What Went Wrong with WTC7?

1 Comment

by Anon

“What went wrong” with WTC7? Something certainly went wrong. There are several possibilities.

Actually, this is one of the easiest questions to answer with regard to the “mysteries” of 9/11.

Some have made the assumption that the 9/11 perpetrators were always intent on destroying WTC7, because it contained critical records, or even computers that logged the frantic insider trading that went on ahead of the attacks. There is little way to prove whether this hypothesis is correct or not, since WTC7 disappeared with its contents.

But what we can be certain of is, because WTC7 was too short to be hit by a “plane” (albeit a computer-generated one), WTC7 collapsing was always likely to raise incomparably more suspicion than the destruction of the Twin Towers.
It would risk becoming an obvious smoking gun of the conspiracy, and indeed it did. Remember the “scandal” caused by film director Matthieu Kassovitz, when he stated on TV that he’d like to be explained “how it is possible to bring down 3 Towers with just 2 planes”

Demolishing WTC7 would almost completely undermine the “plane attack” scenario, and it did indeed. WTC7 became the flagship question of the 9/11 Truthers, one that had to be avoided altogether by the NIST report.

So were the perpetrators so arrogant that they took the risk to light up an unnecessary smoking gun? The answer is no, and it can be easily understood why they had to demolish WTC7 just by looking at its videos and related testimonies recorded straight after the explosion of the Twin Towers.

What is undisputable is that just after the collapse of the South Tower, WTC7 suffered irrefutable explosion collateral damage: its internal lobby was blown up, its glass cladding was projected outwards, towards the exterior.

mqdefault.jpg

Barry Jennings, a NYC civil servant, entered a perfectly sound WTC7 with his colleague Michael Hess just after the “plane”attack. But when the Twin Towers collapsed nearby, the internal staircase of WTC7 suddenly collapsed too. Both men got trapped in the 8th floor and had to be extracted through the windows by the NY Fire Department. https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Barry_Jennings

So the collapse/demolition of the Twin Towers caused an instantaneous collateral damage to WTC7, and instantaneous can only be attributed to an explosion. WTC7 had become a smoking gun for controlled demolition, and that is an undisputable fact anybody can see by themselves watching its videos.

So how could that have happened? This is my speculation, but it is so evidently correct that I am certain of it.

What is undisputable is that the energy at play in the destruction of the WTC was of nuclear nature. The molten steel in apparent violation of Thermodynamics laws, the footprint radiating heat for over 3 months, were tell-all signs, upon which Pr Francois Roby put an elegant and irrefutable scientific demonstration. He calculated that a low estimate of the heat released by the WTC after its collapse was 10 peta Joules, a stratospheric amount of energy, in the order of the monthly production of 900 MVA nuclear reactor. https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02004696

The WTC controlled demolition was executed in the same standard, classic fashion hundreds of nuclear tests have been carried out for over seven decades. By lowering a charge inside a borehole, dug up deep into the bedrock, and then detonating it into an underground explosion chamber (a Zero Box) . That is classic nuclear engineering.

But the key insider information comes from Khalezov, the Russian National who claims to be a former Soviet officer privy to US/USSR nuclear agreements, and who was in effect the first to blow the whistle on the nuclear hypothesis. The embedded demolition scheme devised in the 1960’s at construction was managed so as nuclear charges were permanently stored under WTC7, for obvious security and maintenance reasons. WTC7’s basement was connected to the Twin Towers by rail track tunnels, the shock and vibration-free standard delivery method for nuclear warheads.

When the nuclear charges were detonated, each tunnel acted as a path of less resistance, and carried over an unattenuated pressure shockwave, from under each Twin Tower to underneath WTC7. This is how and why WTC7 imploded from the inside.

There is further evidence that this hypothesis is correct, and it is the underground implosion of the WTC subway (underground train network). Any civil engineer knows that structures are independently calculated: the subway tunnels could only have been damaged by an underground detonation nearby, not by the Towers collapsing over ground. https://gothamist.com/news/photos/mta-photos-show-extent-of-911-devastation-in-lower-manhattan-subway?image=7

The nuclear demolition of the the North and South Towers was planned and executed by Israel, who leveraged and utilised a policy error foolishly made by hapless and unwitting American officials.

But the WTC7 demolition was not part of the plan. WTC7 suffered unexpected explosion collateral damage, as result of a Physics phenomenon easily explained retrospectively, but that the arrogant perpetrators did never envisage.

They were taken by surprise when they realised that WTC7 had become a smoking gun for controlled demolition , and they had to improvise damage control.
So the General-in-chief Silverstein hastily made the decision to use the 3rd nuclear charge available and blow up WTC7. This in turn set in motion a process by which the entire false flag was revealed and is now irretrievably exposed. https://www.ae911truth.org/wtc7

WTC7 was the Almighty God instant retribution to the evil-doers; any physicist or engineer, in the decades to come can, and will, understand what really happened on 9/11.

World Trade Center’s Infamous 91st-Floor Israeli ‘Art Student’ Project

12 Comments

by Russ Winter via Winter Watch

Source: Israeli “ärt students” B-Thing book

‘The greatest conspiracies are not actually hidden, just fragmented into different pieces, like a puzzle, right before our eyes.’ — Judith Morant

In the period leading up to 9/11, a group of Israelis (not dual-U.S. citizens) managed to secure “temporary construction” passes to perform work on the 91st floor of Larry “pull it” Silverstein’s leased WTC 1. These passes gave them access to the entire WTC complex. The pretense was an art project called the “B-Thing,” and the group is called Gelatin. Note that the pass was valid for weekends.

After securing their passes, Gelatin proceeded to remove the heavy WTC windows of an office space on the 91st floor and reportedly constructed a prefab balcony outside of the building. Then they stretched “putty” around the windows and filmed it by helicopter as a stunt shown here. On Aug. 18, 2001, The New York Times even felt strangely compelled to cover this story and considered it newsworthy, or perhaps provide a backstory. On the right is the photo of the balcony as shown in the newspaper article.

This may sound innocent enough for the gullible except for the fact that the photos — taken from the artists’ book called the “B-Thing” AND used in the Times’ article — from inside the 91st floor camp out revealed boxes stacked to the ceiling with the letters and numbering “BB 18” on the side. BB 18 is the model number for a fuse-holder accessory, as described:

Features/benefits of this product: “Purpose is to save space and workload in a complicated wiring situation. Decreases wiring terminations, small footprint reduces space requirements, reduces assembly time, prevents accidental finger exposure, quick and safe method of changing fuse holder configurations, allows for future expansion, improves troubleshooting, eliminates power distribution block.”

source: B-Thing book

Also take note that the ceiling tiles have been totally removed and expose the steel girders.

The next little gem from the self-absorbed and freakish book B-Thing shows a falling creature, suggestive of a taunting calling card.

The identities of the 14 “art students” who were on floor 91 at the time were never released to the public.

The impact points of the “planes” were at the 93rd to 98th floors. Below is cartoon physics of an aircraft imprint created by its aluminum wings that could not precision cut steel exterior columns.

Buried and apparently long forgotten is this 2002 story from The Telegraph about the U.S. arresting and deporting 200 Israelis, some of whom posed as “art students,” for spying and espionage activities in the lead up to 9/11. In addition, here is the DEA’s report on Israeli activities in the U.S. just prior to 9/11. So much for the nonsensical theory that 19 Muslims with boxcutters pulled off this crime of the century.

Additionally, we have yet another “coincidence.” The building was powered down over a weekend prior to 9/11.

Fauci Backtracks on Natural Immunity vs. Vaxx

Leave a comment

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times,

Fauci, a top U.S. public health official fraud, said that a new study regarding so-called natural immunity following COVID-19 infection is provoking discussion among government experts.

The real-world study, conducted by Israeli researchers, found that previous COVID-19 infection confers better protection against infection and hospitalization than COVID-19 vaccines.

Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked Friday about the research in the context of convincing people who have natural immunity, or recovered from COVID-19, to get vaccinated.

“I get calls all the time people say, ‘I’ve already had COVID, I’m protected.’ And now the study says maybe even more protected than the vaccine alone. Should they also get the vaccine? How do you make the case to them?” Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Fauci during an appearance on CNN.

“I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that,” Fauci responded.

“That’s something that we’re going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response. The one thing that paper from Israel didn’t tell you is whether or not—as high as the protection is with natural infection—what’s the durability compared to the durability of a vaccine? So it is conceivable that you got infected, you’re protected, but you may not be protected for an indefinite period of time,” he continued.

“So I think that is something that we need to sit down and discuss seriously because you very appropriately pointed out, it is an issue, and there could be an argument for saying what you said.”

Some experts who have studied the matter have expressed confusion as to why vaccination efforts are not focused on those who have not gotten a shot and have not recovered from COVID-19.

“We’re trying to update policy such that people who have recovered have the same privileges and access as people who are vaccinated,” Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, clinical professor of preventive medicine and medicine at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, told The Epoch Times previously.

The Israel findings, because they’re based on real-world data, even led Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, to call for natural immunity to be part of policy discussions.

“The balance of the evidence demonstrates that natural immunity confers a durable protection,”Gottlieb said during a recent television appearance.

Official guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledges people have some level of immunity after COVID-19 recovery. But the agency still recommends the vast majority of Americans get a COVID-19 vaccine, asserting the protection is even better when combining natural immunity and a jab.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, last month pointed to a study conducted by CDC and Kentucky researchers that suggested vaccines actually provide better protection than previous infection.

“These data further indicate that COVID-19 vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity alone and that vaccines, even after prior infection, help prevent reinfections,” the agency said in a statement.

9/11: What Planes? Just a Video Composite

Here is the rendering to scale of the Boeing 757 hitting the Pentagon:

Below is the result of the impact, Boeing 757’s exit out of the Pentagon’s first row of concrete offices (back of the impact entry point).


Can a Boeing 757, essentially a hollow aluminum tube, cut through massive steel columns, wings and all, without even slowing down? If you haven’t seriously thought about where did the planes disappear,  the answer is: no real planes were involved in 9/11 as Ace Baker convincingly demonstrated in his 2012 film 9/11 The Great American Psy-Opera:

UK: 80% of Covid-19 Deaths in August Were Vaccinated According to Public Health Data

Leave a comment

by Daily Expose
The Expose UK

Excerpts:

Further evidence proving the Covid-19 vaccination programme is a huge failure has been released which confirms throughout the whole of August 80% of the people who allegedly died of Covid-19 had been vaccinated against the disease.

Take a look at the latest Covid-19 Statistical Report released by Public Health Scotland (PHS) on the 8th September 2021.

According to table 16 of the report between the 28th August 2021 and the 3rd September 2021 there were 36 admissions to hospital related to Covid-19 among the unvaccinated over 60 population, whilst there were 7 admissions on the partly vaccinated population.

However, there were a huge 299 admissions among the fully vaccinated over 60 population, and the same pattern can be seen for the weeks previous all the way back to the 7th August 2021.

In all for the week of 28th August to 3rd September 2021 there were 271 hospitalisations among the entire unvaccinated population but 423 hospitalisations among the fully vaccinated population. If we base these hospitalisations occurring after the previous weeks confirmed cases then we can calculate the case-hospitalisation rate.

In the week beginning 21st August there were 15,047 confirmed cases among the unvaccinated population. Therefore based on the unvaccinated hospitalisation figures of 271 in the week beginning 28th August the case-hospitalisation rate is 1.7%. However, when we carry out the same calculation for the fully vaccinated population hospitalisations (423) and cases (14,519) we can see that the case-hospitalisation rate is 2.9%.

Therefore, this shows that the Covid-19 injections are increasing the risk of hospitalisation when exposed to Covid-19 by 70% rather than reducing the risk by the 95% claimed by the vaccine manufacturers and authorities.

So now that we’ve cleared up the Covid-19 injections increase the risk of hospitalisation rather than reducing it let’s find out if they prevent deaths like the authorities claim.

Table 17 of the Public Health Scotland report shows the number of deaths to have occurred via vaccination status.

The number of deaths by vaccination status between the 5th August 2021 and the 26th August 2021 are as follows –

  • Unvaccinated population – 25 deaths
  • Partly vaccinated population – 6 deaths
  • Fully vaccinated population – 92 deaths

This means the unvaccinated population have accounted for just 20% of alleged Covid-19 deaths throughout the whole of August, whilst the fully vaccinated accounted for 75% of them. But couple the partly vaccinated deaths with the fully vaccinated deaths and you can see that throughout August 80% of deaths occurred among the vaccinated population.

Joe Biden’s Mandatory Vaccine Order May Lead America Straight to Another Civil War

Joe Biden’s mandatory vaccine order may lead America straight to another Civil War

In a massive overreach of government power, Joe Biden said federal and private employers must require their workforce to get vaccinated – or else. This move from the Democrat who once preached ‘unity’ could lead to national ruin.

Despite pledging in the past that he would never force Americans to roll up their sleeves for a mandatory vaccine, that is exactly what President Joe Biden announced this week to a nation already sick and tired of masks, lockdowns and political infighting. Worse, the US leader stoked divisions inside of the country, where many fear the rise of a medical-style apartheid, by singling out the unvaccinated for blame.

“We’ve been patient,” the 78-year-old Democrat lectured, carefully reciting his tele-prompted words. “But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us.” The unvaccinated among us “can cause a lot of damage, and they are.”

Biden’s mandate would force companies with more than 100 workers to get vaccinated or test for the virus weekly – at prohibitive costs to employers. At the same time, the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid will also need to be fully vaccinated.

American conservatives – borrowing a page from the Liberals’ pro-abortion playbook that commands ‘my body, my choice’ – lit up social media with an array of questions, including the much-repeated riddle: ‘If the vaccine works so well, and you are protected, [what] matter is it to you if others refuse the shot?’ To date, some 80 million Americans remain unvaccinated.

Not a few of these people are demanding to know what happened to the time-proven biological function known as ‘natural immunity.’ Will those citizens who survived a nasty bout of Covid in the past, and now have the antibodies, still be required to have the vaccination? Dear leader wasn’t showing his cards.

Or what about safety of the vaccines, which remains another concern for many Americans? As documented by VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), thousands of people have experienced “adverse events” after being vaccinated. VAERS received over 7,400 reports of deaths among people who received a Covid-19 jab. It’s unclear, though, whether the vaccine was the cause.

Meanwhile, Big Pharma, which is reaping a bonanza from the pandemic, enjoys total indemnity from any lawsuits that may arise from vaccine-related injuries.

In their ongoing quest for information on such issues, the mainstream media have been carefully selective as to which doctors and what sort of advice their audiences are permitted to hear. And, let’s be honest, does anybody really trust a single word that comes out of Tony Fauci’s mouth anymore?

Biden’s brazen move goes against ‘American values,’ where personal choice is the defining element of democracy. Thus, it seems that the establishment has only itself to blame for the ‘vaccine hesitancy’ that many Americans are now experiencing; closing down discussion, while coercing people to take a drug against their will, does little to foster a climate of trust.

Meanwhile, aside from the question of personal health, there is the question of politics – bad politics, to be more precise. First and foremost, Joe Biden blatantly lied to the American people when he promised to never force vaccines on the country. At the same time, he snubbed Congress and the states by empowering the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to enforce the vaccine mandate – yet another example of Biden abusing the executive office.

The Republicans, who have gone to great lengths to keep their cities and states open for business during the pandemic, are vowing to fight Biden’s “unconstitutional” mandate every step of the way, up to and including a likely battle in the Supreme Court.

Former VP Mike Pence even came out of political hibernation to weigh in on the news, saying that “scolding” the American public was “not the American way – and I expect the response they are going to get across the country will prove that.”

Despite the Democratic Party’s incessant claims that Donald Trump was a “tyrant” and “dictator,” the raft of executive orders that Joe Biden has rammed through Washington, DC are enough to make a Caesar blush. Forcing Americans to submit to medical treatment is Biden’s personal ‘crossing the political Rubicon’ – another one of those “you’re either with us or against us” type of moments that colored the Bush-era “war on terror.”

In this latest chapter of American history, however, the unvaccinated are at risk of standing in for the likes of al-Qaeda and Islamic State. Indeed, given the level of liberal lunacy now infecting every square inch of the America cranium, the unvaccinated could become the targets of a virtue-signaling hate campaign that could easily get out of control, especially when it is considered that there are more guns in America than Americans.

Whatever the case may be, when future historians sit down to write about the America of the early 21st century and its second civil war, September 9 may go down in the history books as the day all hell broke out in earnest.

“Not Now, Not Ever”: RNC To Sue Biden Over Vaccine Mandate As GOP Governors Go Ballistic<

Leave a comment

Republicans clapped back over the Biden administration’s unprecedented ‘jab or your job’ Executive Order for federal workers and contractors, and a ‘jab or test’ mandate for corporations with over 100 employees. 600,000 postal workers are oddly exempt.

The sweeping new vaccine requirements, which completely ignore tens of millions in America who have recovered from Covid-19 and have natural immunity, will affect as many as 100 million Americans.

In response, the Republican National Committed (RNC) vowed to sue Biden once the mandate goes into effect, with President Ronna McDaniel tweeting that Biden lied.

“Joe Biden told Americans when he was elected that he would not impose vaccine mandates. He lied,” McDaniel said in a statement, adding “Now small businesses, workers, and families across the country will pay the price.”

“President Biden is so desperate to distract from his shameful, incompetent Afghanistan exit that he is saying crazy things and pushing constitutionally flawed executive orders. This is a cynical attempt to pick a fight and distract from the President’s morally disgraceful decision to leave Americans behind Taliban lines on the 20th anniversary of 9/11,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) told the Daily Caller.

Meanwhile, Republican governors across the country have issued statements vowing to sue, or otherwise oppose, the vaccine mandateafter Biden threatened them during Thursday’s announcement.

“Let me be blunt,” said Biden. “My plan also takes on elected officials in states that are undermining you in these life-saving actions. Right now local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs. Talk about bullying the schools.”

“If they’ll not help, if these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I will use my power as president to get them out of the way,” he added.

Not so fast, say the governors

As Becker News reports:

Republican governors have begun to issue their responses to the federal government’s overreach and the president’s threats.

“South Dakota will stand up to defend freedom,” Noem wrote. “JoeBiden see you in court.”

Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp also responded to Biden’s remarks.

“I will pursue every legal option available to the state of Georgia to stop this blatantly unlawful overreach by the Biden administration,” Kemp tweeted.

“Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt says as long as I am governor, there will be no government vaccine mandates in state,” Josh Caplan reported.

“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announces the state already working to halt Biden’s vaccine mandate ‘power grab’,” Election Wizard reported.

Alabama Governor Key Ivey also released a statement declaring her intention to fight the mandate.

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon also issuing a statement saying: “Not now, and not ever.”

Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee also stated his broad opposition to the federal mandate.

“The Constitution won’t allow this power grab, and in the meantime, I will stand up for all Tennesseans,” Gov. Lee wrote.

Only Trouble Ahead: Mass Vaccination Triggers Viral Evolution Towards More Infectious Variants Says Top Virologist

3 Comments

by Geert Vanden Bossche
Conducting mass vaccination campaigns on a background of high infection rates generates optimal conditions for breeding even more infectious Sars-CoV-2 variants.Mass Vaccination Triggers Viral Evolution Towards More Infectious Variants Says Top Virologist

The combination of massive, spike-directed immune pressure combined with high infectious pressure rapidly allows these variants to reproduce more effectively such as to outcompete previously circulating variants/ strains.

Mass vaccination, therefore, promotes viral evolution towards more infectious variants. The resulting enhancement of viral infectious pressure makes it more likely for everyone, including healthy, unvaccinated people to come in contact with the virus, especially in times where infection prevention measures are loosened.

To the extent that high infection rates cause people to become re-exposed shortly after a previous asymptomatic infection, their innate Sars-CoV-binding antibodies (Abs) will be suppressed by short-lived, poorly functional anti-spike Abs, known to not be responsible for preventing the infection from becoming symptomatic.

It is precisely the suppression of these broadly protective innate Abs that makes previously asymptomatically infected individuals more susceptible to disease.

It is also precisely this phenomenon that explains why a first wave of a natural pandemic is followed by a second wave in younger age groups.

The even bigger amplitude of that second wave merely reflects the overwhelming contribution of a population’s innate immunity to its overall immune protective capacity.

So, this is why we’re now seeing more and more disease in younger age groups, and even children, although they were perfectly protected during previous waves.

Extending mass vaccination campaigns to these younger age groups is the most irresponsible public health proposal (decision?) ever as

  1. it results in turning a huge cohort of naturally protected people into subjects who will soon become much more vulnerable because the virus is now becoming increasingly resistant to vaccinal Abs (which, despite poor functionality, are still able to suppress broadly protective innate Abs).
  2. it further augments pressure on viral infectiousness (i.e., on spike protein, which happens to be the target of all C-19 vaccines!) and, therefore, will only contribute to expediting viral evolution towards enhanced infectiousness (and eventually full resistance to anti-S Abs).

As already mentioned, the higher viral infectivity rates grow, the more the incredibly precious innate immune capacity of the population gets eroded and the faster vaccine-mediated protection will wane as a result of enhanced evolution of the virus towards S-Ab-directed resistance.

In the meantime – and for as long the C-19 vaccines protect against disease – mass vaccination is turning healthy people into asymptomatic breeding grounds and spreaders of evolving, more infectious variants, which is quite the opposite effect of what mass vaccination was supposed to do (i.e., to generate herd immunity).

We only begin to see the early consequences of waning vaccine protection, erosion of innate immunity and fulminant expansion of steadily evolving, more infectious variants.

This is to say that it is the complete lack of understanding of why morbidity rates are now increasing in younger age groups that now prompts short-sighted experts and politicians, who typically have no long-term antennae, to advocate for mass vaccination of younger age groups and children.

As they obviously lack any kind of insight into the evolutionary dynamics of a pandemic and how those are driven by the interplay between viral infectious pressure and host immune pressure in the population, they don’t understand that mass vaccination of the younger age groups is only throwing fuel to the devastating fire of a self-amplifying vicious circle.

I challenge any expert, regardless of reputation or qualifications, to invalidate or oppose my arguments in a public debate on a mainstream broadcasting channel.

If that debate doesn’t take place, it should be very straightforward for youngsters, parents, guardians, or even the children themselves, to draw their own conclusions and decide what is best for themselves or the children.

If we could only have politicians and short-sighted ‘experts’ hanging this sheet over their bed, we might finally be in a position where we could start cleaning up some of the mess they have made and put an end to all of the completely unacceptable and needless animosity it caused between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.

Time has come to turn all this chaos into a constructive effort that is finally driven by ‘Science’ and ‘Solidarity’!

US Using Lab Leak Theory to Cast a Shadow on China’s Win Over COVID and Talks With Kabul, Prof. Says

Leave a comment


by Ekaterina Blinova via Sputnik News

Although the US probe into COVID’s origins failed to find a “smoking gun” against China, US politicians are seeking to increase pressure on Beijing. The attempt to scapegoat China comes as the US is swiftly losing strategic dominance in Eurasia and the Indo-Pacific region, says Director of the Centre for Transition Sciences (CTS) Heinz Dieterich.

The latest intelligence review of COVID-19 origins “was largely a waste of precious time” and “doomed to fail from the start”, wrote The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin on 2 September, citing several US officials and lawmakers.

Rogin blames the probe’s limited scope, tight deadline and China’s “uncooperativeness” for its failure, while citing fears that Joe Biden’s White House could “sweep the issue under the rug”. He highlighted “there’s no shortage of ideas” of how to force China to cooperate: US lawmakers are proposing to sanction China’s labs, release more of the intelligence the US holds about the Wuhan labs and order the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy to provide Congress with records of their collaborations on coronaviruses in China.

There are two major factors explaining why the fuss over the origins of COVID-19 is still gaining steam in Washington, says Heinz Dieterich, director of the Centre for Transition Sciences (CTS) at the Autonomous Metropolitan University in Mexico City, and coordinator at the World Advanced Research Project (WARP).

First, “the US governance system is losing the global battle for soft power-hegemony against China”; second, the GOP and the Democrats are bracing for a major struggle for Congress in the 2022 midterms. According to the professor, in both cases, the theory that the virus originated in the Wuhan lab and China’s alleged complicity in what Washington calls the “mishandling of the pandemic” is nothing but a political tool.

China Outperforms US on COVID & Afghan ‘Fronts’

The US Covid-19 debacle and the Afghanistan defeat are the clues to understanding why the US wants to scapegoat China, Dieterich notes. From 3 January 2020 to 3 September 2021, there have been 123,136 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 5,685 deaths in China, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Meanwhile, the US has reported over 39,900,000 cases and more than 648,000 COVID-related deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

This stark difference has dealt a blow to the US image, given that it is regarded as the richest country in the world, with an annual GDP per capita of 65,000 US dollars, and population of 320 million people, whereas China is still a developing country with an annual GDP p.c. of 10,000 US dollars and a population of 1.4 billion.

“You cannot honestly – and less scientifically – explain to the world this dismal difference between the US capitalist system´s failure to protect its citizens and the economy through control of the pandemic, compared to the efficacy and performance of the Chinese socialist system. So you have to resort to lies and that is what the White House has been systematically doing since the Trump administration,” the professor says.

The chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan has added fuel to the fire: after a 20 year long war against the Taliban*, Washington was forced to retreat and reconcile with the Taliban’s takeover of the country. During the US hasty pull-out, the Pentagon left behind a “fair amount” of weapons, US citizens and former Afghan allies.

Following the US withdrawal, Abdul Salam Hanafi, deputy director of the Taliban’s office in Doha, Qatar, called China Afghanistan’s “trustworthy” partner, vowed to “take effective measures” to protect Chinese institutions and personnel in the country and signalled a willingness to participate in Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). China reportedly promised to keep its embassy open and “beef up relations” with Afghanistan.

For its part, Kabul could offer joint lucrative business projects to China, given that the Central Asian state’s reserves of lithium, gold and rare earth minerals are estimated as being worth between $1 trillion and $3 trillion. The US has long eyed the Central Asian state’s mineral wealth with the Pentagon 2010 study dubbing Afghanistan “the Saudi Arabia of lithium”.

Afghanistan also has an important geostrategic location. Some Republicans presume that Beijing may take over the Bagram Air Force Base, which used to be home to tens of thousands of US troops. According America’s former envoy to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Beijing may use the strategic air base in order to boost its positions in the region and exert pressure on India.

“The Vietnam-like collapse of the US imperialist military presence in Afghanistan symbolises on a world wide scale the implosion of the US strategic dominance in the Eurasian and Indo-Pacific-theaters of operation,” says Dieterich.

He believes that it also spells “the end of the strategic design for a US global system control, as it was planned in the ‘American Century’ protocols developed in the most important State Department think tank, the 1947 created Policy Planning Staff by George F. Kennan, the author of the US Cold War containment doctrine against the USSR.” Dieterich notes that it was then revived by the New American Century plans of the Neocons in the 1990´s under George W. Bush.

Fight Between GOP and Dems for Congress & White House

Meanwhile, the US is preparing for a national election battle between the Democratic and Republican Party for control of the legislature in the November 2022 midterm elections, Dieterich notes. This race could probably lay the groundwork for the 2024 presidential elections, according to the academic, who does not rule out “the eventual return to power of Donald Trump”.

“The whole ‘Wuhan Lab Leak conspiracy circus’ is part of the internal power struggle between the Democrats and the Republicans,” he says. “Both political fractions of the US dominant class are jockeying to get the upper hand for the election triumph as a trampoline for the 2024 presidential elections. Trump tries to show that Biden is ‘Beijing complicit’ and Biden tries to show that he is as tough as steel with the ‘Chinese Communists’.”

Given the unfolding internal political struggle and US-China geopolitical rivalry, one cannot expect any reasonably serious answer to the origins of the COVID virus, according to Dieterich. He expects that the US “will keep pressuring on a world level to make China the scapegoat of an absolutely natural event”.

At the same time, Beijing is not legally obliged to authorise any new probe, either by WHO or any other international institution, on its territory, the academic notes citing China’s refusal to greenlight WHO’s “Second Phase” probe in Wuhan. According to Dieterich, if WHO is really interested in getting to the bottom of the pandemic, it should also inspect Fort Detrick, one of the principal centres of the US army for biological warfare as well as America’s secret overseas biolabs.
