thelibertybeacon--2020-07-06--Déjà Vu: GSK Recycles Its Problematic Adjuvant into Covid-19 Vaccines

Authored and Contributed to TLB by : The Children ’ s Health Defense Team Among the 100 or so global players now working on experimental Covid-19 vaccines , most of the entities touted as frontrunners are obscure biotechnology and nanotechnology firms .
Despite their focus on razzle-dazzle “ next-generation ” technologies that private foundations , the U.S. government and the military apparently find alluring , few of these companies have any prior experience successfully bringing vaccines to market .
In contrast , some of the biggest and most experienced vaccine manufacturers in the U.S. and globally , including Merck , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seemed , until recently , to be missing in action— “ conspicuously absent ” from the frontrunner lists .
In May , a Merck executive explained the relative silence this way : “ It ’ s not that the company wasn ’ t working on the problem , .

but that it simply wasn ’ t ready to speak.

” In late spring , GSK apparently decided to reverse its tortoise-like approach and stepped boldly out of the shadows .
After having already made its “ established technology ” —that is , GSK ’ s “ pandemic vaccine adjuvant system ” —available to several regional players earlier in the year , a splashy mid-April announcement reported that GSK would override its ordinarily fierce competition with Sanofi to embark on a Covid-19 vaccine joint effort , pooling both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pharma giant .
Under this “ unprecedented ” arrangement , Sanofi will provide the coronavirus antigen while GSK ponies up its trademark AS03 adjuvant system .
Adjuvants get marketed to the public as a tool to “ turbo charge ” the recipient ’ s immune response , but they are immensely attractive to vaccine manufacturers for a different reason : adjuvants are “ antigen sparing , ” meaning they “ cut the amount of antigen that is needed to create effective vaccines.

” In late May , right on cue , GSK declared that it would be producing one billion doses of AS03 “ to support the development of multiple adjuvanted COVID-19 vaccine candidates.
” For many decades , aluminum was the only adjuvant used in vaccines .

GSK has since made it a top business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only folds into its own vaccines but can potentially market to other companies as it is currently trying to do with Covid-19 .
Although GSK has developed three different adjuvant systems ( AS01 , AS03 and AS04 ) and all three have made their way into various GSK vaccines around the world , only one of these systems ( AS01 ) is currently in general use in the United States in the Shingrix vaccine marketed to adults over age 50 .

Thus , GSK would be more than happy for the chance to broaden its adjuvant technology ’ s U.S. market share by incorporating AS03 into a widely recommended Covid-19 vaccine .
Up until now , the only approved U.S. vaccine to contain AS03 is an H5N1 “ bird flu ” vaccine included only in the U.S. government ’ s National Stockpile—for distribution when and if needed .
An AS03-containing Covid-19 vaccine would represent , therefore , the first time this type of adjuvant would reach the U.S. general population—children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GSK ’ s other two adjuvant systems , AS03 is an “ oil-in-water emulsion , ” containing synthetic squalene oil , polysorbate 80 ( a synthetic , detergent-like surfactant and emulsifier ) and synthetic vitamin E.

In May, a Merck executive explained the relative silence this way: “It’s not that the company wasn’t working on the problem, . . . but that it simply wasn’t ready to speak.” Meanwhile, GSK—which leads the world in global vaccine revenues—has been casting itself as the wise old granddaddy in a sea of impetuous upstarts, modestly stating its preference for “the slow and steady approach of focusing on an established technology that has the best chance of reaching the widest possible demographic.”
In late spring, GSK apparently decided to reverse its tortoise-like approach and stepped boldly out of the shadows. After having already made its “established technology”—that is, GSK’s “pandemic vaccine adjuvant system”—available to several regional players earlier in the year, a splashy mid-April announcement reported that GSK would override its ordinarily fierce competition with Sanofi to embark on a Covid-19 vaccine joint effort, pooling both know-how and manufacturing capacity with the French pharma giant. Under this “unprecedented” arrangement, Sanofi will provide the coronavirus antigen while GSK ponies up its trademark AS03 adjuvant system.
Adjuvants get marketed to the public as a tool to “turbo charge” the recipient’s immune response, but they are immensely attractive to vaccine manufacturers for a different reason: adjuvants are “antigen sparing,” meaning they “cut the amount of antigen that is needed to create effective vaccines.” This benefit is “particularly sought after during pandemic outbreaks as it enables more people to be vaccinated using available antigen supplies.” In late May, right on cue, GSK declared that it would be producing one billion doses of AS03 “to support the development of multiple adjuvanted COVID-19 vaccine candidates.”
GSK’s adjuvant systems
For many decades, aluminum was the only adjuvant used in vaccines. In the 1990s, however, vaccine scientists sought to overcome the perceived limitations of single adjuvants and began tinkering with adjuvant systems—powerful combinations achieved by “mixing and matching” different immunostimulants. GSK has since made it a top business priority to develop adjuvant systems that it not only folds into its own vaccines but can potentially market to other companies as it is currently trying to do with Covid-19.
Although GSK has developed three different adjuvant systems (AS01, AS03 and AS04) and all three have made their way into various GSK vaccines around the world, only one of these systems (AS01) is currently in general use in the United States in the Shingrix vaccine marketed to adults over age 50. The Cervarix vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV), which contains AS04, is no longer used in the U.S. Thus, GSK would be more than happy for the chance to broaden its adjuvant technology’s U.S. market share by incorporating AS03 into a widely recommended Covid-19 vaccine.
Up until now, the only approved U.S. vaccine to contain AS03 is an H5N1 “bird flu” vaccine included only in the U.S. government’s National Stockpile—for distribution when and if needed. An AS03-containing Covid-19 vaccine would represent, therefore, the first time this type of adjuvant would reach the U.S. general population—children and adults alike. As distinct from GSK’s other two adjuvant systems, AS03 is an “oil-in-water emulsion,” containing synthetic squalene oil, polysorbate 80 (a synthetic, detergent-like surfactant and emulsifier) and synthetic vitamin E. Though industry researchers dispute it, squalene was flagged as a likely problem in studies of Gulf War Syndrome patients who received squalene-containing vaccines. Likewise, polysorbate 80 has raised concerns due to its deleterious effects on female reproductive organs and cell permeability as well as its propensity for oxidative degradation—a “major quality concern.”
Describing AS03’s mechanisms of action in vaccines, GSK researchers have noted that the adjuvant can induce “rapid perturbation” that activates a response called endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. An activated ER stress response has been associated with numerous chronic diseases, and severe ER stress also “threatens proper organ function.” Investigators have described an urgent need to study “the consequences of pharmacological interference with ER stress responses.”
The 2009 swine flu debacle
AS03 played out quite differently in Europe, where it featured prominently in GSK’s Pandemrix H1N1 “swine flu” vaccine—widely administered in 2009-2010. The U.S. never licensed Pandemrix. In 2010, after Pandemrix received fast-tracked approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) under special rules for declared pandemics, an unusually high number of young people—an estimated 1300 in all—developed severe narcolepsy, “all but wreck[ing] normal life.” As Children’s Health Defense has summarized previously:
Published studies reported as much as a 14-fold increased risk of narcolepsy in children and adolescents as well as a 2- to 7-fold increased risk in adults following Pandemrix vaccination.
Though clinicians and researchers observed a “strong temporal relationship” that made it logical to suspect a Pandemrix safety signal, GSK not only ignored early warning signs but continued to deny the problem long after independent research had produced compelling evidence. In 2013, the chief medical officer of GSK’s vaccines division hedged, “As a statistical association that’s clear. It’s a very different thing, though, to say that then means A causes B.”
In March 2018, top-tier representatives from GSK, the CDC and FDA, the World Health Organization and European agencies belatedly published their consensus that “an increased risk of narcolepsy was consistently observed after Pandemrix.”
Some of the current news coverage about GSK’s Covid-19 vaccine partnerships admits that the potent AS03 adjuvant system represents an “unresolved safety concern.” However, GSK dismisses these concerns by suggesting that the risks seen with Pandemrix were an “extremely rare coincidence” associated with “a similarity between a protein in the wild type H1N1 virus and a human protein relevant in regulating the sleep cycle.” On the other hand, researchers have pointed out that the “immunological mechanisms of action” of vaccine adjuvants remain woefully understudied, which makes it difficult to predict how AS03 will behave when paired with an entirely new antigen and production process.
GSK’s rising star?
In late June, Yahoo! Finance reported that GSK’s stock market shares had declined 12.5% in the year-to-date against a 1.8% increase in the large-cap pharmaceutical industry. However, the announced manufacture of one billion doses of AS03—compared to the 700 million vaccine doses that GSK produces in a typical year—suggests that GSK is betting big on Covid-19. Developing partnerships with multiple companies, including its behemoth rival Sanofi, and focusing on what it considers (ignoring Pandemrix) to be a “proven technology” appears to be “GSK’s answer to minimising the risk of failure” and having “several shots on goal.” As The Guardian wryly reported, “Two companies joining forces, rather than competing, in a vaccine effort is extremely unusual,” but “the potential scale of the market is also not a typical situation.”
President Trump’s May appointment of Moncef Slaoui to head up Operation Warp Speed (the White House initiative launched to speed up U.S. coronavirus vaccine development and distribution) furnishes an additional hint that GSK is well-positioned to profit from Covid-19. Slaoui is a 30-year GSK veteran who closed out his Glaxo career as head of the company’s global vaccines business and who is credited with having “spearheaded a profound overhaul of GSK’s pharmaceutical R&D” and developed a “robust vaccines pipeline.” It so happens that Slaoui is also one of the world’s experts in “electroceuticals”—a burgeoning field that seeks to introduce electrical impulses into the brain via nanotechnology, microdevices, microchips, implants and other forms of brain-machine interfaces. Given how closely these technologies align with the dystopian agenda of vaccine technocrats like Bill Gates, it would probably be wise to keep a close eye on what Slaoui and GSK get up to in the coming weeks and months.

I saw their world unfolding , and mine unraveling , and I thought of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tried , I could not stop it .

Commentary by TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive
It had started to rain, as I remember, and we were all trapped inside. I was sitting on my sofa taking a break from playing with stuffed animals and dress-up, reading my newspaper. From the side of my eye I saw a little dimpled hand reach out and touch my forehead. “Why are you frowning Pops? What’s wrong?”
I looked up to see her blue eyes squinting at me with four-year-old concern… And with a flash of wonder realized that her tiny fingers had touched my frown, and so I immediately gave her a big smile.
“Oh, it’s nothing darling!” I said. “Pops is just trying to study his newspaper. I’m trying to learn what it says.” And to me, this seemed to console her, as she gave me a big smile too. She turned and again sat down on the carpet with her big brother to play Legos… but turned to look at me again, and with something like an afterthought she said: “You’re learning about sad things Pops?”
But she didn’t want an answer for that. All she wanted was to build a red wall with her Lego set, and hoped that I would sit with them and help. And as I searched the shoe box for another red cube to snap together, I felt a rush of fear sweep through me, a chill to the very bone, and I struggled with everything I had to hide it.
I saw their world unfolding, and mine unraveling, and I thought of the possibility that no matter how much I tried, I could not stop it. It was too big. A new world was being created on the ashes of the old, a dismantling of the country I thought my own.
I saw them in debt, a debt that could never be paid. I saw that they would never have a moment of complete solitude, or privacy, or liberty, or ever know truth. I saw that they would be slaves to a system that would attempt to project itself in their minds as an original thought, with a scientifically propagandized methodology long proven to coerce and control. I saw God displaced by technology without bounds, science without ethics, and a collective ego without imagination, or free expression. I saw a system designed to manage their thoughts, attempting to intimately own their very souls. And I saw, from my own eyes, bleary with tears held in check, and a lump in my throat from dread, that I was the only thing standing in the way. Me, Pops.
As I look back over my life, and what by the grace of God I have created, I find myself responsible for this world. Just as I have taken responsibility for my own action, so too do I take responsibility for my inaction. I should have stood up long ago. I should have studied more, tried harder, and got involved. And from deep inside of my heart, from a place that holds all of the dusty regrets shelved and tightly sealed, to keep my sanity, I can only say, I’m so very sorry. I’m so sorry my little ones. And I know that most likely by the time you realize this world for what it is, I’ll be long gone.
I hope you live in a world of enlightenment, illuminated by truth, and your hearts are full of love and joy. If you have found this around you, I could rest easy in eternity, because I know by my study that the liberty that creates this is not free, and that someone bled to give it to you… you see, I have a confession my Love… Liberty, once lost will never be returned, and I have let it slip through my fingers.
So know this. I love you more than anything in this world, and I’ll keep trying until my dying day, just as I know you will for your own grand kids, by the grace of God.

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-07--Why No One Should Believe COVID-19 Is Naturally Occurring

After six months of exhaustive investigation , the global scientific community has been unable to identify the natural source of COVID-19 , that is , the when , where and how it “ jumped ” from animals to humans .
Some now imply that we may never know the natural origin of COVID-19 .
In a news article recently published by the international science journal Nature , the progress , or lack thereof , identifying the natural source of COVID-19 was reviewed .
According to the article , COVID-19 probably originated in bats , specifically horseshoe bats , which host @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and RmYN02 , whose genomes are 96 % and 93 % identical to COVID-19 , respectively .
Both coronavirus samples were isolated from bats in Yunnan Province , RaTG13 in 2013 and RmYN02 in 2019 , and were studied in the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
Wuhan is where the outbreak of COVID-19 originated and about 1,000 miles from Yunnan .
The Nature article does not mention that RaTG13 is actually a duplicate of another bat coronavirus , BtCoV/4991 , about which there is nearly no published experimental data since it was isolated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Potential Pandemic Pathogen .
That is , except for the structure , analyzed only by Chinese scientists , practically nothing is known about RaTG13 .
The Nature article also does not mention that the receptor-binding domain of RmYN02 showed only a 61.3 % sequence identity with COVID-19 , meaning it is highly unlikely that RmYN02 could even bind to human cells .

After six months of exhaustive investigation, the global scientific community has been unable to identify the natural source of COVID-19, that is, the when, where and how it “jumped” from animals to humans.
Some now imply that we may never know the natural origin of COVID-19.
In a news article recently published by the international science journal Nature, the progress, or lack thereof, identifying the natural source of COVID-19 was reviewed.
According to the article, COVID-19 probably originated in bats, specifically horseshoe bats, which host two closely related coronaviruses, named RaTG13 and RmYN02, whose genomes are 96% and 93% identical to COVID-19, respectively.
Both coronavirus samples were isolated from bats in Yunnan Province, RaTG13 in 2013 and RmYN02 in 2019, and were studied in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Wuhan is where the outbreak of COVID-19 originated and about 1,000 miles from Yunnan.
The Nature article does not mention that RaTG13 is actually a duplicate of another bat coronavirus, BtCoV/4991, about which there is nearly no published experimental data since it was isolated in 2013, despite clearly being a Potential Pandemic Pathogen.
That is, except for the structure, analyzed only by Chinese scientists, practically nothing is known about RaTG13.
The Nature article also does not mention that the receptor-binding domain of RmYN02 showed only a 61.3% sequence identity with COVID-19, meaning it is highly unlikely that RmYN02 could even bind to human cells.
The Nature article suggests that pangolins (scaly anteaters) might be an intermediate host because some pangolin coronaviruses “share up to 92% of their genomes” with COVID-19, presumably bridging the gap between bats and humans.
When asked about that possibility, Dr Ralph Baric, a coronavirus expert from the University of North Carolina, in a March 15, 2020 interview, stated unequivocally that pangolins were not the source of COVID-19:
“Pangolins have over 3,000 nucleotide changes – no way they are the reservoir species [for COVID-19], absolutely no chance.”
Nevertheless, the receptor-binding domain of COVID-19 is structurally closer to pangolins than bats indicating a recombinant event, in this case, likely artificial.
In fact, Ralph Baric and Zheng-Li Shi, the “bat woman” from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, conducted just such an artificial receptor-binding domain insertion from a newly isolated bat coronavirus (SHC014) onto the “backbone” from SARS-CoV, the coronavirus responsible for the 2003 pandemic.
In a December 9, 2019 interview, Dr Peter Daszak, President of the EcoHealth Alliance and a long-time collaborator with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, presumably referring to the Ralph Baric-Zheng-Li Shi experiments, stated “you can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily” inserting a spike protein “into a backbone of another virus.”
Thus, an artificial recombinant event carried out in the laboratory would be a far better explanation of pangolin-like structures appearing on a bat coronavirus backbone than one occurring in nature, at least given the current state of knowledge.
The most conspicuous sign of COVID-19 genetic manipulation is the presence of a furin polybasic cleavage site, a structure that is not present in any of the coronaviruses so far identified as possible direct ancestors.
The authors of the RmYN02 article stretch credulity even further by claiming that RmYN02 has a precursor cleavage site.
In reality, it is a weak attempt to offer a naturally-occurring explanation for the presence of the furin polybasic cleavage site in COVID-19.
Unfortunately, the amino acid sequence PAA, the insertion cited by the authors, is chemically neutral, totally unlike COVID-19’s polybasic PRRAR sequence, and PAA has no ability to cleave anything.
Based on the actual evidence, it is unlikely that RmYN02 is a natural close relative of COVID-19.
Although COVID-19 appears to have been “pre-adapted” for human infection, the artificial insertion of the furin polybasic cleavage site may explain a potentially significant point mutation in COVID-19 that may have increased its infectivity.
According to the article, “The D614G mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reduces S1 shedding and increases infectivity”, over the course of the human pandemic, one amino acid position has changed from aspartic acid to glycine, increasing the stability of the spike protein and thereby making COVID-19 more infectious.
As suggested by the authors, that mutation may have been what is known as a “positive selection” to compensate for the structural instability created after the artificial insertion of the furin polybasic cleavage site.
The burden of proof is now on China to demonstrate that COVID-19 is naturally-occurring because most of the available evidence indicates otherwise.
ER: Just China?

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-07--The 2020 Economic Crisis: Poverty, Unemployment and Despair [VIDEO]

What we are seeing in Western countries is a replay of how Greece was treated repeatedly , through massive ( illegal ) loans and indebtedness it could/can never repay , imposition of austerity measures to try to do so , unemployment and massive poverty of its citizens .
From what Prof. Chossudovsky says below , our countries – which were already in massive debt ( that we ’ ve never seen a good justification for ) – are now in extraordinary indebtedness because of the massive stimulus spending to get us out of the ‘ pLandemic ’ .
Add to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seriously decrease the tax base ( quite aside from the human misery caused ) , as well as corporations finding ways to decrease their tax contributions .
On the one hand , government debt ( in the recent case of Italy ) is classified as ‘ junk ’ , which puts our governments in the hands of the creditors – the central banks ; on the other , services and public assets can not be adequately funded and will get privatized as a way to ‘ pay off ’ the debt , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; harsh austerity measures get imposed on the citizens .
We are living one of the most serious crises in modern history .
According to Michel Chossudovsky , the coronavirus pandemic is used as a pretext and a justification to close down the global economy , as a means to resolving a public health concern .
A complex decision-making process is instrumental in the closing down of national economies Worldwide .
We are led to believe that the lockdown is the solution .
Politicians and health officials in more than 150 countries obey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turn , millions of people obey the orders of their governments without questioning the fact that closing down an economy is not the solution but in fact the cause of global poverty and unemployment .
What we are dealing with is a crime against humanity .
Fear , intimidation , media disinformation prevail .
The Lie has become the Truth This is an imperial project emanating from powerful economic interests .
A global fear campaign is sustained by the media .
And now a so-called second wave is envisaged .
The social and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are undoubtedly living ( in ) one of the most serious economic and social and crises in modern history .
In some regards , we are living history , and we are unable to comprehend the logic of the corona virus pandemic .
What is at stake is the pretext and the justification for closing down national economies worldwide based on a public health concern .
We have to understand the causalities .
Closing down an economy , nationally and globally , does NOT resolve the pandemic .
In fact , it creates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also results in massive unemployment , confinement of people in their homes , without employment , without food .
.
.
That is what we ’ re living .
There is NO justification for closing down national economies based on a public health concern , which can be resolved , and SHOULD be resolved !
There is a very complex decision-making process , which has been PLANNED WELL IN ADVANCE .
From ‘ central authority ’ , governments are instructed to close down their economies and then , in turn , the governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to meet up , not to have family reunions .
.
.
And , essentially , what we do not understand , and which is fundamental , is that economic activity is the basis for the reproduction of real life .

And what these measures have resulted in is a massive crisis , in which particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precipitated into bankruptcy , millions of people have become unemployed , and in many countries this has resulted in mass poverty , famine , among certain groups of the population .
We have ample evidence to this effect , and we have to understand that this process of closing down national economies is deliberate .

And , it ’ s co-ordinated with the financial crisis which took place in the month of February ( 2020 ) , which led to massive collapse in banking institutions , stock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conventional economists , have a tendency to say that there ’ s no relationship between the corona pandemic crisis and the financial crash in February .
That is utterly mistaken .

In other words , the levels of employment have crashed and companies are bankrupt .
We will have a fiscal crisis of the state .
In other words , a dramatic decline in ( income ) tax revenues due to the collapse in employment , and the companies ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to deduct corporate losses , of course ( on their tax statements ) .
How will the governments around the world continue to govern , finance social programs and so on ?
It will ultimately be through a gigantic global debt operation implemented both in the so-called ‘ developed ’ countries – e.g .
Italy , France , United States , Canada – and in the developing countries where it will be more the international financial institutions , the World Bank , the IMF , the regional development banks .
Now , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that debt is NOT REPAYABLE .
The Italian government has issued bonds with the support of Goldman Sachs and so on ; that was done a couple of months back .

And the next stage is ultimately the confiscation of the State !
THE STATE WILL BE PRIVATIZED .

Because the creditors will immediately , following what they did in Greece a few years back .

FULL TRANSCRIPT
The 2020 Economic Crisis. Global Poverty, Unemployment and Despair
By Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
June 30, 2020
We are undoubtedly living (in) one of the most serious economic and social and crises in modern history. In some regards, we are living history, and we are unable to comprehend the logic of the corona virus pandemic.
What is at stake is the pretext and the justification for closing down national economies worldwide based on a public health concern.
We have to understand the causalities. Closing down an economy, nationally and globally, does NOT resolve the pandemic. In fact, it creates a situation of INSTITUTIONAL INSTABILITY.
It also results in massive unemployment, confinement of people in their homes, without employment, without food . . . That is what we’re living.
There is NO justification for closing down national economies based on a public health concern, which can be resolved, and SHOULD be resolved!
There is a very complex decision-making process, which has been PLANNED WELL IN ADVANCE. From ‘central authority’, governments are instructed to close down their economies and then, in turn, the governments instruct people to implement social engineering, not to meet up, not to have family reunions . . .
And, essentially, what we do not understand, and which is fundamental, is that economic activity is the basis for the reproduction of real life. By that I mean, institutions, purchasing power of families, a whole series of activities, which have developed in the course of history – economic activity constitutes the foundation of all societies.
And what these measures have resulted in is a massive crisis, in which particularly small and medium sized enterprises are being precipitated into bankruptcy, millions of people have become unemployed, and in many countries this has resulted in mass poverty, famine, among certain groups of the population.
We have ample evidence to this effect, and we have to understand that this process of closing down national economies is deliberate. IT’S A PLAN.
And, it’s co-ordinated with the financial crisis which took place in the month of February (2020), which led to massive collapse in banking institutions, stock markets and so on. Economists, conventional economists, have a tendency to say that there’s no relationship between the corona pandemic crisis and the financial crash in February. That is utterly mistaken. The fear campaign, the disinformation campaign, have facilitated the MANIPULATION OF STOCK MARKETS. And we’re (I’m) talking about the use of very sophisticated derivatives, speculative instruments and so on.
What is now happening is that governments have been indebted up to their ears. They’re paying out compensation to companies which have been affected; in some cases it’s generous bailouts, in other cases it’s part of a social safety net coming to the rescue of workers and small-scale enterprises.
And the next stage is the MOST SERIOUS DEBT CRISIS IN WORLD HISTORY. In other words, the levels of employment have crashed and companies are bankrupt. We will have a fiscal crisis of the state. In other words, a dramatic decline in (income) tax revenues due to the collapse in employment, and the companies (which have not gone bankrupt) are going to deduct corporate losses, of course (on their tax statements). How will the governments around the world continue to govern, finance social programs and so on?
It will ultimately be through a gigantic global debt operation implemented both in the so-called ‘developed’ countries – e.g. Italy, France, United States, Canada – and in the developing countries where it will be more the international financial institutions, the World Bank, the IMF, the regional development banks.

I won’t get into that particular dimension, but I can say in all certitude that the impact of this crisis is so dramatic, the economic crisis, that it DOESN’T COMPARE to the impact of covid-19, which, according even to people like Anthony Fauci, is comparable to the seasonal influenza.

That does not mean that we shouldn’t take it seriously but we should understand, it’s common sense, it’s not by closing down the global economy that you’re going to resolve this pandemic.
So somebody’s lying, somewhere. And in fact, the lies are ‘becoming the truth’, they’re becoming part of the ‘consensus’ and THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
Because when the lie becomes ‘the truth’, there’s no turning backwards.
And we notice how independent scientists, independent analysts, are being CENSORED, that we have many doctors and nurses and scientists, virologists as well as economists who are speaking out. And you just have to look at the figures, the millions and millions of people who are unemployed as a result of this.
So, what we really need is a historical understanding of what’s going on, because closing down the economy through orders from ‘somewhere up there’ . . .

And that’s why all these NGOs, which are funded by corporate foundations cannot . . . I’m not saying . . . some of the things they do are fine but they cannot wage a campaign against those who are sponsoring them, that’s an impossibility.
So we have to implement a grassroots movement, nationally and internationally, to CONFRONT THIS DIABOLICAL PROJECT and to restore our national economies, our national institutions. And, to DENY THE LEGITIMACY OF THE DEBT PROJECT. And to investigate the elements of corruption which have led to this diabolical adventure, which is affecting humanity in its entirety.
This is a war against humanity, implemented through complex economic instruments.
Goodbye, and we will continue our battle and our analysis to the best of our abilities at Global Research.

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-07--Lockdown: establishment’s legal arm backs government

Businessman Simon Dolan recently took the UK government to court to challenge the legality of the Lockdown that , in our opinion , was based on false stats and misinformation , and wrecked the UK economy with evident malice aforethought and collusion on the part of its instigaotors with enemies of the nation .
For the background to this case and our take on it , see these UKR articles : SAGE shifty shenanigans .
Why the secrecy ?
Something to hide ?
Wriggling government tells court it never ordered schools to close .

Introduction
by Jon Davy
Businessman Simon Dolan recently took the UK government to court to challenge the legality of the Lockdown that, in our opinion, was based on false stats and misinformation, and wrecked the UK economy with evident malice aforethought and collusion on the part of its instigaotors with enemies of the nation.
For the background to this case and our take on it, see these UKR articles:
The judicial arm of the establishment, pehaps not surprisingly, saw no legal reason to bring anyone to account for, or to halt, this ongoing oppression. Here below is Simon Dolan’s announcement concerning the matter, in which he encourages you to study the court’s findings and come to your own conclusions.
These are dangerous times for the government and its cronies – the “very best people” who consider themselves a herdsman caste perfectly entitled to treat the rest of us like cattle or even lab rats that can be subjected at a whim to their harebrained social experiments.
As the first probing of the enemy’s defences yields valuable intel, the danger is evident in the growing perception by the rest of us that the government lies and manipulates pretty much as it sees fit and that its irresponsible actions are a direcrt and increasingly tangible threat to our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. It lies also in the fact that we, the People, have a much clearer view of who the subversives in high places are.
That perception leads us inexorably towards a revolt. A revolt is undesirable and the government can avert it quite easily by getting honest and straight, ceasing its treasonous collusion with the global Big Bucks crime syndicates and working for all the peoiple
We applaud and support Mr Dolan’s imitiative, which is bringing to the fore the reality of a government that does not work for all the people and is in daily betrayal of them. The “setback” in the courts has assisted that effort.
This is not the end of the matter but the beginning.
The fight against oppression is just getting started.

A Message from Simon Dolan
I am extremely disappointed to let you know that following last week’s preliminary hearing, the judge has refused us permission to challenge lockdown.
In March, the government imposed the most draconian set of rules the country has ever known. Yet in the opinion of the court, lockdown was entirely correct and proportionate. This means that going forward, the government will have the right to impose lockdown whenever it chooses and in doing so, take-away the livelihoods of millions, without having to justify its actions.
You can view the entire judgement online here. It does not engage with, or consider on any analytical level, the vital issues we set out in the case. Nor does it take into account the impact all this has taken on ordinary people. Please do read it carefully and you will see exactly how our rights and freedoms have been dismissed. My barristers and solicitor are currently analysing the full judgment with view to an appeal.
While it is a disappointing final decision, we did score some vital victories along the way and embarrassed a failing Government.
We fought for the SAGE minutes to be published and the Government caved in, releasing huge batches of information. The revelations gave people living under lockdown rightful access to information which had been behind closed doors but was key in stripping away their freedoms. The reluctantly released SAGE minutes highlighted that scientists accept the virus does not pose a threat to children and that closing schools has minimal impact on the spread, again exposing the mockery of the Government’s position.
Our pressure also exposed the trick of words the Government used to close schools for millions of children for months on end. The judge held in his judgment that there is “no legal requirement on any school in England to close”. Yet millions of pupils – the vast majority of them – have had no proper access to education since March and still don’t. The court has refused to let our challenge to this sorry state of affairs proceed.
This was all against a backdrop of the Government trying to delay our case as much as possible.
But more than anything, this legal action has given a voice to those who have had freedoms stripped away with no democratic process.
I wanted to launch the legal action because it was terrifyingly obvious the Government needed to be challenged. Parliament has been a bystander throughout. Ministers have repeatedly signed legislation into law without scrutiny, debate or votes by MPs – until weeks after the event.
This legal campaign is not only mine but that of the 6,500 people who donated more than £200,000 to crowdfund the action.
Many of those supporters have shared the devastating personal effect lockdown had and will continue to have on their lives. I want to thank each and every one of you for stepping up and joining the fight.
Billions have been wiped off a previously healthy economy and millions of people are now out of work because of the lockdown. We also face a cancer, NHS waiting list and mental health crisis as a result of it.
It is for all these reasons and dozens more that lockdown simply cannot be allowed to happen again.
That is why we will continue this fight beyond the confines of the court room.
We started Keep Britain Free to protect the basic freedoms of everyone living in the UK and it has become one of the fastest growing pressure groups in the UK, with thousands of you joining together to fight creeping totalitarianism.
This first battle may have been lost, but the war has only just started.
Simon.

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-07--Ghislaine Maxwell Goes From Posh Hideout to NY Jail [Video]

Ghislaine Maxwell Goes From Posh Hideout To COVID-Stricken ‘ Third World Country ’ NY Jail For the first time in her privileged life , ex-socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is living in conditions described by one judge in 2016 as similar to a ‘ prison on Turkey or a Third World Country.
’ The 58-year-old Maxwell was arrested after hiding out in a lavish four-bedroom , four-bathroom mansion in New Hampshire , which Bloomberg notes sports views of the Mount Sunapee foothills from every room .
After being initially booked in New Hampshire on multiple charges related to trafficking underage girls for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Epstein , Maxwell was transferred on Monday to New York ’ s Metropolitan Detention Center ( MDC ) – home to over 1,600 male and female detainees which was built at the turn of the 20th century and used during both world wars , according to Bloomberg .
No one wants to go to jail , but the conditions described at the MDC have been the subject of numerous complaints and scrutiny that rival the rat-infested federal lockup in Lower Manhattan where Epstein was held .
In early 2019 , hundreds of inmates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their cells for at least a week after an electrical fire knocked out power in the building .
The inmates spent some of the coldest days of that winter in darkness , largely without heat and hot water .
–Bloomberg One inmate , Derrilyn Needham , has been incarcerated at MDC since last November along with 30 other women who slept in bunk beds .
Needham said social distancing was difficult , and that for three days starting April 23 , the women were on “ lockdown on our bunk beds , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use the bathroom or shower .
She added that they hadn ’ t been given gloves , hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes – and that despite symptoms of COVID-19 , the assistant warden said she couldn ’ t receive a test for the virus .
According to The Intercept , “ The number of reported coronavirus symptoms far exceeds the number of tests MDC has performed.
” In May , the facility came under fire for allegedly destroying medical records “ as part of a deliberate effort to obscure the number of incarcerated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report , filed Thursday as part of a putative class-action lawsuit by people held in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn , casts doubt on assertions by the Bureau of Prisons , which runs the jail , and the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office for the Eastern District , which serves as counsel for the bureau .

–The Intercept After the pandemic began , the detention center was deemed “ ill-equipped ” to deal with the spread of COVID-19 by former chief medical officer for the city ’ s jails , Homer Venters , who says he ’ s “ concerned about the ongoing health and safety of the population , ” and slammed administrators for failing to adequately deal with the pandemic .

Ghislaine Maxwell Goes From Posh Hideout To COVID-Stricken ‘Third World Country’ NY Jail
For the first time in her privileged life, ex-socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is living in conditions described by one judge in 2016 as similar to a ‘prison on Turkey or a Third World Country.’
(ZeroHedge)
The 58-year-old Maxwell was arrested after hiding out in a lavish four-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion in New Hampshire,which Bloomberg notes sports views of the Mount Sunapee foothills from every room.
After being initially booked in New Hampshire on multiple charges related to trafficking underage girls for the sexual gratification of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell was transferred on Monday to New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) – home to over 1,600 male and female detainees which was built at the turn of the 20th century and used during both world wars, according to Bloomberg.
No one wants to go to jail, but the conditions described at the MDC have been the subject of numerous complaints and scrutiny that rival the rat-infested federal lockup in Lower Manhattan where Epstein was held. In early 2019, hundreds of inmates at the MDC were locked shivering in their cells for at least a week after an electrical fire knocked out power in the building. The inmates spent some of the coldest days of that winter in darkness, largely without heat and hot water. –Bloomberg
One inmate, Derrilyn Needham, has been incarcerated at MDC since last November along with 30 other women who slept in bunk beds. Needham said social distancing was difficult, and that for three days starting April 23, the women were on “lockdown on our bunk beds, not able to leave our bunks except to use the bathroom or shower.
She added that they hadn’t been given gloves, hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes – and that despite symptoms of COVID-19, the assistant warden said she couldn’t receive a test for the virus.
According to The Intercept, “The number of reported coronavirus symptoms far exceeds the number of tests MDC has performed.” In May, the facility came under fire for allegedly destroying medical records “as part of a deliberate effort to obscure the number of incarcerated people infected with the coronavirus.”
The report, filed Thursday as part of a putative class-action lawsuit by people held in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, casts doubt on assertions by the Bureau of Prisons, which runs the jail, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District, which serves as counsel for the bureau. The Bureau of Prisons and federal prosecutors have insisted in court that the situation at the jail is under control. But the medical examiner’s report — which contradicted prison assertions that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines were being followed — suggests that the six people in custody who have tested positive for the disease likely represent the tip of the iceberg. –The Intercept
After the pandemic began, the detention center was deemed “ill-equipped” to deal with the spread of COVID-19 by former chief medical officer for the city’s jails, Homer Venters, who says he’s “concerned about the ongoing health and safety of the population,” and slammed administrators for failing to adequately deal with the pandemic.
That said, MDC has been on the receiving end of criticism over its conditions long before coronavirus was an issue.
Cheryl Pollak, the federal magistrate in Brooklyn, has repeatedly voiced concerns about the MDC after reviewing a report by the National Association of Women Judges, who visited the facility and found that 161 female inmates were housed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in two large rooms that lacked windows, fresh air or sunlight and weren’t allowed out to exercise. –Bloomberg
“Some of these conditions wouldn’t surprise me if we were dealing with a prison in Turkey or a Third World Country,” Pollak said during a 2016 hearing. “It’s hard for me to believe it’s going on in a federal prison.”
