Contrarian Perspectives


Extra [i.e. Controversial] Fare:

Malone: Don't be Brain Dead
In other words, think for yourself

The “Gell-Mann Amnesia effect” was coined by Michael Crichton, MD to describe the experience of encountering unreliable information in main stream media and the “approved narrative” in your area of expertise, and knowing by first person experience that this narrative is wrong. And then suspending your own critical thinking skills and trusting these same type of “experts” (legacy/mainstream “approved” media) in another area outside of your expertise.

His point was that one must use critical thinking skill even when outside your core competencies.





Decarbonization won’t be achieved through market-led solutions. It’s only by democratizing the economy and resisting privatization that a meaningful and sustainable transition to green energy can be won.



COVID Fare:

I am increasingly coming across too much excellent COVID-related content (with contrarian evidence-based points-of-view!!) to link to it all
Read everything by eugyppius; el gato malo; Mathew Crawford; Steve Kirsch; Jessica Rose!
Paul Alexander, Berenson, Chudov, Lyons-Weiler, Toby Rogers are also go-to mainstays; a list to which I have added Andreas Oehler, Joey Smalley (aka Metatron) and, Julius Ruechel; Denninger worth staying on top of too for his insights, and especially his colorful language; and Norman Fenton; new addition: Marc Girardot; I will of course continue to post links to key Peter McCullough material, and Geert Vanden Bossche, and Robert Malone, and Martin Kulldorff, and Jay Bhattacharya, and Sucharit Bhakdi, and Pierre Kory, and Harvey Risch, and Michael Yeadon, and John Ioannidis, and Paul Marik, and Tess Lawrie, and Zelenko, and Dolores Cahill, and [local prof] Byram Bridle, and Ryan Cole, and…
but going forward, my linking to material by those mainstays mentioned above will be reduced to key excerpts and/or essential posts

Analysis:


...Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. 
... We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.


Rose: It does incorporate into human DNA. And it's probably messing up embryogenesis.
These injectable convid-1984 products are perfect bioweapons - either by design or accident. Who cares which. The outcome is the same.


mRNA Vaccines Actually are "Gene Therapy", Study Shows

........ Considering that Sars-Cov-2 “spike protein” has cancer code from Moderna 2017’ patent 9,587,003, it is imperative to find out the implications of this reverse transcription, and whether the vaccinated now have any undesirable genetic code embedded into their DNA.

Of particular interest is whether this mRNA-induced reverse transcription affects the “germ line”, such as eggs and sperm cells, and whether it also affects the fetus of pregnant mothers.


Try Not to Laugh While Still Resisting Vaxx

... The significance is that, if bigly true as a mechanism, mRNA genejabs may explain not only delayed hematological disturbances and vascular “accidents,” even myocardial cilliopathy, it can go a fair distance toward explaining the the concept of “long COVID,” a concept that was essentially absent in 2020, aka “B.J.E.” the Before-Jab Era.

A lot of sciencey people have been well aware of the experimental nature of genetic material injections (genejabs) into humans that were suddenly introduced and made commonplace for billions in this “crisis.” Many pharmabros simply didn’t care and/or thought the potential patient benefits probably outweighed the incalculable risks, which are now being quantified and the news isn’t good for them. Many saw dollar-signs and new career paths being set up. A lot of us sent up what signal flares that we could, but we were squelched or hooted down for “overwrought” vaxx pessimism, easily called anti-vaxxer which is like being called a conspiracy theorist or a racist, they intend to end debate with application of the label. The objections were never about our takes on science. We had the high ground.


Commentary:

Experts incompetently advocated for the impossible and now disproven concept of "elimination.”

Zero COVID was always a delusional fantasy.

Eliminating a virus that can be carried and spread by animals was never remotely possible, plausible or even necessarily advisable given the dramatic trade-offs it would have required.

The very concept of zero COVID was clearly impossible to attain and based on an abandonment of pre-pandemic planning guidance that repeatedly recommended that normal life continue with as little disturbance as possible.

But that didn’t stop governments, experts and media members from zero COVID advocacy and promotion.


el gato malo: did "the science" change?

because it sure looks like “the political science” did and this coming state of the union speech should give us a pretty strong sense as to just which one is the tail and which the dog in this scenario.

this is the memo from biden’s polling firm to the rest of the party;

.... 
but it’s much too late to fool the center. this will be a tone deaf whistle at the faithful. it will further alienate the middle who will (rightly) see this as yet another subjugation of science and public health to political ends and exigencies.

it’s all out in the open now as the bigger truth eclipses the big lie.


CO-VIDs of the Week:

Kati Schepis, pharmacist, explains mRNA vaccines were approved in the absence of any data on their “pharmacokinetics" - that is where in the body the vaccine will go & how long it will stay there. Kati argues that such data would be essential for ensuring vaccine safety.

Back to Non-Pandemic Fare:

GeoPolitical Fare:

After the fall of the Soviet Union, there was a near universal understanding among political leaders that NATO expansion would be a foolish provocation against Russia. How naive we were to think the military-industrial complex would allow such sanity to prevail.

.... The consequences of pushing NATO up to the borders with Russia — there is now a NATO missile base in Poland 100 miles from the Russian border — were well known to policy makers. Yet they did it anyway. It made no geopolitical sense. But it made commercial sense. War, after all, is a business, a very lucrative one. It is why we spent two decades in Afghanistan although there was near universal consensus after a few years of fruitless fighting that we had waded into a quagmire we could never win.



In the time of the first Queen Elizabeth, British royal circles enjoyed watching fierce dogs torment a captive bear for the fun of it. The bear had done no harm to anyone, but the dogs were trained to provoke the imprisoned beast and goad it into fighting back. Blood flowing from the excited animals delighted the spectators.

This cruel practice has long since been banned as inhumane.

And yet today, a version of bear-baiting is being practiced every day against whole nations on a gigantic international scale. It is called United States foreign policy. It has become the regular practice of the absurd international sports club called NATO.


*** 2min audio clip: Katie Halper: Soviet-American immigrant Yasha Levine on Russia, Ukraine, The U.S., imperialism & the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion



Russian President Vladimir Putin had been subjected to a series of sophomoric psychological profiles that trivialized Russian national concerns as little more than the psychotic whim of a troubled individual. The caricatures that emerged of the Russian state and its leadership colored the analysis of Russia’s oft-stated concerns over what it viewed as its legitimate national security.



What I am about to say should be self-evident to anyone following closely the move of Russian forces into Ukraine and having a recollection of what the same Russian general command did in Crimea and then did again in their Syrian campaign.  Regrettably, Western audiences do not find these observations on CNN, the BBC, The Financial Times and The New York Times, not to mention on the still less reputable television channels and print media that provide 99% of the (mis)information which the public receives daily on the Ukrainian conflict and on much else. Their producers and editorial boards, their journalist staff all are looking at one another or just contemplating their belly buttons. They have for some years now been living in a virtual world and paying little heed to the real world.



Russia had the full legal right to invade the Ukraine from several perspectives: to defend its allies in Donetsk and Lugansk; to defend itself against Ukrainian WMDs, which the Ukrainian president threatened to start producing at the Munich Security Conference; and to stop NATO from continuing its advance toward Russian borders in violation of its previous commitment of “not an inch to the east.” Russia exercised its right of self-defense under article 51 of part 7 of the UN Charter. The Ukraine had forfeited its right to territorial integrity under the 1970 UN Declaration by refusing to honor the rights of its Russian-speaking population. It also refused to renew its Friendship Treaty with Russia and therefore no longer had a defined border with Russia that Russia was obligated to honor.

From a strictly legalistic perspective, claims that “Russia violated the Ukraine’s territorial integrity” or that this is “an act of Russian aggression” is just pure twaddle. From a moral perspective, the fact that the entire international community idly stood by and ineffectually discussed politics for eight years during which the civilian population of Donetsk and Lugansk was continuously shelled by the Ukrainian “anti-terrorist operation” is utterly shameful.

People who are now speaking out against Russia’s military action in the Ukraine need to answer a simple question: Where have you been for the last eight years while the carnage in Donetsk and Lugansk was going on, while people were being burned alive in Odessa, while the Ukrainian government organized terrorist operations on Russian territory and while the entire Ukrainian population has been forced to kowtow to Americans .. If your answer is “I didn’t know” then you have forfeited your right to an informed opinion on what’s happening there now. Please keep that in mind and act accordingly.


War in Ukraine, "a strategic strike" to take out Obama/Biden/CIA human traffickers, bio-labs, and money-laundering hubs

“We’re at war. As I forecast, we would have a lot more language about the war. It’s going to continue. There will be a lot of war language building up. It will build up to the same level that we had of war language in WW2 here in the United States in the…so it will dominate all the effective news and this kind of thing. Not the war with Ukraine because that’s a different thing. That’s a strategic strike by Putin to destroy the Khazarian mafia that has been running Ukraine and doing human trafficking, allowed the Obama and Biden and CIA and neo-cons to put in eleven bio-labs and has been laundering vast quantities of money from crimes through Khazaria. Ukraine. And so Putin finally had enough. He’d been bitching about the bio-labs for years. And so our media does not show us all the speeches that..or any of the speeches that Putin makes, they just cut little segments of what they want to get across in their agenda. If you go and listen to the stuff from the last few years…go back to 2009, he was bitching about uh the bio-labs. Anyways so, we’re at war. At the moment, Khazaria is the center point of this battle.”





... With the retrospect of hours, demilitarization of the Ukraine and denazification of the Galicians cannot be a surprise if you are Russian or Ukrainian. To them it is welcome. By contrast,  Chrystia Freeland, the deputy prime minister of Canada, has repeated the lie which enriched her grandfather, her mother,  and the Galicians she represents: “We cannot allow Russia,” she said, “to destroy the rules based order Canadians died to defend in the Second World War…”   When the Galicians go on trial for their war crimes in the coming months – this is part of what denazification will mean — Canadian judicial observers will be invited to attend and investigate the evidence; the Dutch too.




Moon of Alabama: Disarming Ukraine - Day 4

In war, truth is the first casualty.


e.g. check out all the pics here:

The media are either intentionally lying to you, spinning a narrative and/or they’re tools of propaganda who can’t see it - or even question it before hitting RT.

and:
In times of fast-paced media pouring out content, these are timely reminders to never believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see.

and:
Dr. Benjamin Braddock: US + NATO figures were posting a bunch of pictures of Zelensky out in kit bravely fighting off the Russian advance personally. Problem is, the photos were from last April.

Obviously the war in Ukraine is bad. Innocents will suffer; people will die and be crippled and hurt who needn’t have been.

But I’m seeing a great deal of hysteria or near-hysteria over this, and it mostly isn’t justified. It is unlikely that more people will die than because of Iraq, or Libya. Some years back the Congo had a war in which 6 million people died and most westerners don’t even know it happened. Right now people are starving to death in Afghanistan and Yemen, and Yemen is constantly being bombed. Etc…

So, on humanitarian grounds this is no worse than many other wars and while we don’t know the final butcher bill and can’t guess well yet, since we don’t know exactly what Putin intends to do, it’s unlikely to be as many deaths as in the Congo or as flowed from Iraq (since all ISIS deaths must be counted, etc…)

What makes Ukraine different, emotionally, to Westerners, is that they are white Europeans.

... all that is happening, in geopolitical terms, is that Russia is saying “we are a Great Power and we will take the same rights as the US has to invade and annex.”

This is not a greater war crime than Iraq or Libya or the Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon. What it is is the moment at which the West realizes that the US is no longer the sole great power.



... Third, it appears that the operational cauldron which will entrap the entire Ukie force in the Donbass is in the process of being finalized.  According to recent news, only about 100km separate the northern pincer from the southern one, and since Russian MRLS can reach much further, this means that the Ukie forces are already blocked by fire (meaning that while they still can break through, they will do that under constant Russian fire) and that the encirclement will be completed if not today, then by tomorrow.  Take a look at this map:




Historical Context Vids:

A journalist [Gonzalo Lira] who's over there, and actually knows something about Russia and Ukraine, provides an antidote to the crude propaganda in which we're all suddenly drowning




hat tip: Garcia, who says:
"Not only is it well worth an hour or so of your time, it should also serve as an antidote to all the jingoism and fear-mongering propaganda bombarding us from the mainstream media"

Other Quotes of the Week:

Welsh: Putin will win the war. He will leave Ukraine except in the newly recognized republics. Whatever regime is in control of the rest of the Ukraine will now understand the consequences of even thinking of joining NATO. The West egged on Ukraine and then did nothing while Russia invaded it.



Satirical Fare:

U.S. Shocked Russia Would Invade Another Country After Seeing How Badly America’s Recent Invasions Went


Americans Will Now Be Required To Identify Ukraine On A Map Before Posting Opinion On Ukraine



@PandaTribune: Under Trump, Putin wasn’t Putin troops in Ukraine. Putin was Biden his time until 2020. He knew that the Dem strategy of Putin Biden in a basement (instead of Putin America first) would get Biden Putin the WH. Maybe in ’24 we can Putin a new POTUS, but it might be too late Biden!
