thelibertybeacon--2020-10-21--Rushed Covid GMO Vaccines: Legal Action to Cancel EU Regulation 2020/1043

We published a Julian Rose article on this topic , of rushing risky GMO-based vaccines to market , back in July titled Towards a Totalitarian Regime ?
European Commission Adopts GMO Vaccine to Combat Non Existent Covid-19 Virus .
Here we ’ re reissuing the introduction to that piece as background to the current legal action to stop temporary relaxation of the safety protocols for the clinical trials and manufacture of a GMO-based covid vaccine , permitted under EU regulation 2020/1043 .
This regulation was adopted in emergency circumstances on July 15 , 2020 without either parliamentary debate or scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a covid vaccine out , the European Commission is planning exemptions to established safety rules concerning genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ) .
This is the topic of Julian Rose ’ s article below .
The vote in the European Parliament to permit this fast-tracking and exceptional status of vaccine trials and products containing GMOs occurred on July 7 , 2020 .
Here is the press release issued on the same day : Parliament to allow COVID-19 vaccines to be developed more quickly .
We remind readers of the coalition of four EU @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alliance – to ensure it is European-made vaccines that are are delivered within the EU .
Addressing the issue , this report from Euractiv comes from June 18 , 2020 ( EU goes easy on GMOs in race for COVID-19 vaccine ) : As part of its new vaccine strategy , the European Commission has proposed to temporarily relax the EU ’ s strict rules on genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ) in order to speed up the search for a COVID-19 vaccine and cure .
Brussels is ready to loosen its stance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in clinical trials for a coronavirus vaccine involving multiple countries .
Current GMO legislation does not foresee situations of urgency , resulting in very complex and time-consuming procedures , the Commission argues , saying “ there is considerable variety across member states in the national requirements and procedures implementing the GMO directives.
” Potential vaccines currently under development by pharmaceutical companies such as Astra Zeneca and Johnson & Johnson contain or consist of GMOs .
The proposed derogation , which still needs to be voted by the European Parliament and the EU Council @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long as COVID-19 is regarded as a public health emergency , the Commission said .
The relaxed rules will apply not only for clinical trials on a COVID-19 vaccine but also for treatments , the Commission ’ s communication reads , although compliance with good manufacturing practices ( GMPs ) and an environmental risk assessment of the products will still be carried out before their marketing authorisation .
The Commission called on the EU ’ s co-legislators to adopt the proposal swiftly in order to enable clinical trials to take place in Europe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peter Liese , European People ’ s Party ( EPP ) spokesperson for health , agreed with the Commission ’ s push on passing the derogation as soon as possible , saying that it needs to be done before the summer break .
… This report from Reuters of June 10 , 2020 ( Exclusive : Europe to accelerate trials of gene-engineered COVID-19 vaccines – sources ) makes it clear that individual nations ’ safety protocols concerning vaccines and other medicines are to be superseded : … The reform is expected to reduce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ requirements on drug companies when they conduct clinical trials on medicines and vaccines containing genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ) , according to the sources .
In some countries like Italy and France , for example , treatments must receive authorization from government environment or research departments , as well as from health and drug authorities , under rules that are up to 20 years old and also cover the more publicly sensitive area of GMO crops .
This has long caused bottlenecks in a pharmaceutical industry that increasingly relies on genetic engineering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now that Europe may quickly need to accelerate trials , an EU Commission official said , warning that some of the most promising COVID-19 shots under development contain GMOs .
… It is also clear from the Reuters ’ piece that it is simply corporations fearing loss of market share in Europe in relation to other big pharma competitors , public health be damned : The European Commission is expected to put forward the plans as early as next week .
They are part of a wider EU strategy aimed at securing enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bloc as it fears lagging behind the United States and China .
Finally , this article from early 2018 ( Why Does Europe Lag Behind the US and China in the Gene Editing Race ? )
explains how European biotechs are at a regulatory disadvantage in terms of getting out gene-edited medical products .
All the rules were relaxed to facilitate vaccine manufacture , while Professor Didier Raoult was required to conduct a billion tests for hydroxychloroquine .

Vaccines: action for annulment against European regulation 2020/1043

All the rules were relaxed to facilitate vaccine manufacture, while Professor Didier Raoult was required to conduct a billion tests for hydroxychloroquine. Isn’t that wonderful!

FRANCE SOIR
Represented by Mr. Guillaume TUMERELLE, lawyer (link), six associations and groups of citizens have filed an action for annulment against the European regulation concerning the vaccine.
The applicants are:
La Coordination nationale médicale sante environnement (CNMSE), European Forum for Vaccine Vigilance (EFVV), Children’s Health Defense Europe, La Ligue Nationale Pour la Liberté des Vaccinations (LNPV), International Association for Independent and Benevolent Scientific Medicine, Terra SOS-Tenible.
This appeal follows the European regulation n°2020/1043 adopted urgently on July 15, 2020, which abolished all procedures for protection, risk analysis, control, monitoring, labeling and public information concerning the use, transport, release into the environment, injection into humans of genetically modified organisms and microorganisms whenever research or clinical trials on a vaccine or a drug against Covid-19 are involved.
Thus, specific measures to control the risk related to genetic modification of living organisms are no longer applied in this area.
The stated objective of this suppression is to gain a few weeks in the eventual development of a vaccine. Risk analyses and control measures are therefore being eliminated for the sole purpose of speeding up the process. Before submitting its project, the Commission did not carry out any scientific consultation to analyze the risk, particularly in relation to new genetic modification techniques.
Parliament voted without debate, without discussion, without questions and without tabling amendments.
However, it is clearly established that genetic modification of living organisms, in particular microorganisms artificially modified to be injected into humans, presents numerous risks, in particular the risk of recombination of potentially more virulent viruses, or the risk of interactions with human DNA causing random and unknown diseases.
This elimination of all risk assessment measures and all biosafety control measures for the environment and for health is contrary to the precautionary principle, a fundamental principle of the European Union’s operating treaty and a constitutional principle of French law. This abolition of the guards is also contrary to the interest and health of citizens. Obtaining a useful and safe vaccine that is not dangerous is incompatible with the urgency and suppression of risk control measures.

Six associations call for the cancellation of the EU regulation on GMO covid vaccines 19
On October 10, six associations in Europe filed an action for annulment before the European Court of Justice against a regulation abolishing the risk assessment of GMOs for vaccines against Covid 19.
Regulation 2020/1043, adopted this summer by the Union, allows producers of vaccines and anti-Covid19 treatments containing GMOs to dispense with the need to produce an environmental impact and biosafety study before the start of clinical trials. Published on July 17, the text was adopted by the European Parliament under an emergency procedure, without amendments or debate. This exception to the GMO legislation is contrary to the precautionary principle provided for in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
These GMO vaccines against Covid 19, for which clinical trials have begun, present very real risks. The report by molecular geneticist Cristian Velot du Criigen, reminds us that they could lead to viral recombinations potentially more serious than the viruses that we are trying to fight with the vaccine, impacting animal life and human health. The risks of interaction with human DNA or the introduction of new genetic technologies may have unknown, potentially serious and irreversible consequences. In other words, no specific measures will be applied to control the risk of genetic modification of living beings.
The six requesting associations – CNMSE, Terra SOS Tenible, LNPLV, EFVV, AIMSIB, Children’s Health Defense Europe – denounce this dangerous experimentation, both for the participants in clinical trials and for the human population and the environment, and demand the immediate application of the precautionary principle, in compliance with the rules of law.
“Having had the chance to organize, under the aegis of the Ile-de-France Regional Council, an innovative experiment on personalized vaccination, I discovered highly toxic molecules and pesticides in the composition of vaccines. It therefore seems essential to me that the implementation of any new vaccine against Covid be exemplary and that all the essential steps be particularly respected” explains Dr Dominique Eraud, President of the National Medical Coordination Health Environment (CNMSE).
“The implementation of this regulation must be stopped immediately.

“By publishing this regulation, the European institutions are giving the European Union member states the right to put in place dangerous, even biocidal, legislative measures that should be denounced,” emphasizes Jean-Pierre Eudier, President of the National League for Vaccination Freedom (LNPLV).
For Dr. Kris Gaublomme, President of the European Forum for Vaccine Vigilance (EFFV):
“We denounce the drift of European States towards authoritarianism, control and restriction of fundamental rights, through systematic derogations to the rules of law under the pretext of the Covid-19 epidemic, which we see particularly with the EU2020/1043 regulation. Our recourse to the Court of Justice of the European Union aims at enforcing the rules of law.”
“The European authority is offering a blank cheque to the pharmaceutical industry to bring to market new GM drug and vaccine technologies for which not all the studies demonstrating safety have been carried out. It is the patients in these conditions who serve as guinea pigs and we, as doctors, refuse this state of affairs” insists Philippe Harvault, President of the International Association for Independent and Caring Scientific Medicine (AIMSIB).
Finally, according to attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President of Children’s Health Defense Europe,
“The need to consider different types of risks before starting clinical trials of vaccines that will be accelerated and widely distributed cannot be underestimated.

thelibertybeacon--2020-10-21--The Malevolent Encirclement of Russia: What’s Being Planned?

RAND study prepared for the US Army Over recent weeks a series of events in the states surrounding the Russian Federation has erupted that certainly are not being greeted with joy in the Kremlin .
Each crisis center of itself is not a definitive game-changer for future Russian security .
Taken together they suggest something far more ominous is unfolding against Moscow .
A recent RAND study prepared for the US Army suggests with remarkable accuracy who might be behind what will undoubtedly become a major threat to Russian security in coming months .
The Turkish-backed attacks by Azerbaijan against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three decades of relative stalemate and ceasefire , the ongoing destabilization of Lukashenko in Belarus , the bizarre EU and UK behavior surrounding the alleged poisoning of Russian dissident Navalny and most recently , the mass protests in Kyrgyzstan , a former part of the Soviet Union in Central Asia , bear the fingerprints of the MI6 of Britain , the CIA and an array of regime-change private NGOs .
On September 27 , military forces from Azerbaijan broke the 1994 ceasefire with Armenia over the conflict in predominantly ethnic-Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh ( ER @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the area adjacent to Georgia and Azerbaijian , to the north ) .
The heaviest fighting in years ensued on both sides as confrontation escalated .
Turkey ’ s Erdogan came out openly in support of Baku against Armenia and Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh , leading Nikol Pashinyan , the Prime Minister of Armenia , to accuse Turkey of “ continuing a genocidal policy as a pragmatic task.
” It was a clear reference to the 1915-23 Armenian charge of genocide of more than a million Armenian Christians by the Ottoman Empire .
Turkey to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Image on the right is from South Front While Armenia blames Erdogan for backing Azerbaijan in the present conflict in the Caucasus , Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin , sometimes called “ Putin ’ s chef ” for his catering empire as well as his close ties to the Russian President , has said in an interview with a Turkish paper that the Armenia-Azeri conflict was provoked by “ the Americans , ” and that the Pashinyan regime ( Armenia ) is essentially in the service of the USA .
Here it gets interesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money to most key cabinet positions including state In 2018 Pashinyan came to power via mass protests called the “ Velvet Revolution.
” He was openly and heavily supported by the Soros Open Society Foundation-Armenia which , since 1997 , has been active funding numerous “ democracy ” NGOs in the country .
As Prime Minister , Pashinyan has named recipients of Soros money to most key cabinet positions including state security and defense At the same time it is unthinkable that Erdogan ’ s Turkey , still in NATO , would so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potentially could lead to a Turkish confrontation with Russia , without prior backing in some form from Washington .
Armenia is a member of the economic and defense association Eurasian Economic Union , together with Russia .
This makes the comments of Prigozhin especially interesting .
It is also worth noting that the head of the CIA , Gina Haspel , and the recently-named head of Britain ’ s MI-6 , Richard Moore , are both seasoned Turkey hands .
Moore was UK Ambassador to Ankara until 2017 .
Haspel was CIA Station @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 1990 ’ s .
Before that , in 1990 Haspel was a CIA officer in Turkey , fluent in Turkish .
Notably , although it has been scrubbed from her official CIA bio , she was also CIA Station Chief in London just prior to being named Trump Administration CIA head .
She was also specialized in operations against Russia when she was in Langley at the CIA Directorate of Operations .
This raises the question whether the dark hands of an Anglo-American intelligence operation are behind the current Azeri-Armenia conflict over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Caucasus unrest , on October 5 NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that NATO ’ s security interests are synonymous with those of Turkey , despite Turkish purchase of Russian advanced air defense systems .
Washington until now has been conspicuously silent on the Caucasus conflict or Turkey ’ s alleged role .
The eruption of the simmering Nagorno-Karabakh conflict near Russia ’ s southern border is not the only state where Washington is actively promoting destabilization of vital Russian neighbors these days .
Since the August elections , Belarus has been filled with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fraud .
The opposition has been active in exile from neighboring NATO Baltic countries .
In 2019 , the US government-funded National Endowment for Democracy ( NED ) listed on its website some 34 NED project grants in Belarus .
All of them were directed to nurture and train an anti-Lukashenko series of opposition groups and build domestic NGOs .
The grants went for such projects as “ NGO Strengthening : To increase local and regional civic engagement… to identify local problems and develop advocacy strategies.
” Another was to “ expand an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the country , including works on politics , civil society , history , human rights , and independent culture.
” Then another NED grant went , “ To defend and support independent journalists and media.
” And another , “ NGO Strengthening : To foster youth civic engagement.
” Another large NED grant went to “ training democratic parties and movements in effective advocacy campaigns.
” Behind the innocent-sounding NED projects is a pattern of creating a specially-trained opposition on the lines of the CIA ’ s NED model “ Color Revolutions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Caucasus and Belarus were not enough to give Moscow migraine headaches , on September 29 in Brussels , Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia met with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg .
Stoltenberg told him that , “ NATO supports Georgia ’ s territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders .
We call on Russia to end its recognition of [ Georgia ’ s breakaway ] regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and to withdraw its forces.
” Stoltenberg then told Gakharia , “ And I encourage you to continue making @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming closer to NATO .
And to prepare for membership.
” Of course , NATO membership for Russian neighbor Georgia would amount to a strategic challenge for Russia as would that of Ukraine .
The NATO comments add to the tensions facing the Kremlin recently .
Then former Soviet Union Central Asian republic , Kyrgyzstan , has also just erupted in mass protests that have brought down the government for the third time since 2005 , over opposition allegations of election fraud .
USAID , a known cover often for CIA operations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Soros Foundation which has created a university in Biskek and funds the usual array of projects , “ to promote justice , democratic governance , and human rights.
” It should be noted that Kyrgyzstan is also a member of the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union along with Armenia and Belarus .
Then to increase the heat on Russia , we have the bizarre charges by the German Bundeswehr intelligence and now the OPCW that Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was poisoned in Russia using “ a Soviet-era nerve agent , ” said by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Navalny since has evidently emerged quite alive and out of hospital , the German officials , as well as British , do not bother to explain such a miraculous recovery from what is reputed to be the most deadly nerve agent ever .
Following the OPCW statement that the substance was Novichok , the German Foreign Minister is threatening severe sanctions against Russia .
Many are calling for Germany to cancel the Russian NordStream-2 gas pipeline as response , a blow that would hit Russia at a time of severe economic weakness from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Nor does Germany bother to investigate the mysterious Russian companion of Navalny , Maria Pevchikh , who claims to have rescued the “ Novichok-poisoned ” empty water bottle from Navalny ’ s hotel room in Tomsk Russia before he was flown to Berlin on the personal invitation of Angela Merkel .
After delivering the poisoned bottle to Berlin in person , she apparently swiftly flew to London where she lives , and no German or other authorities apparently tried to interview her as a potential material witness .
Pevchikh has a long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Navalny foundation and is in reported close contact with Jacob Rothschild ’ s friend , Mikhail Khodorkovsky , the convicted fraudster and Putin foe .
Khodorkovsky is also a major funder of the Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation ( FBK in Russian ) .
There are credible reports that the mysterious Pevchikh is an asset of MI-6 , the same MI-6 that ran another ludicrous Novichok drama in 2018 claiming that Russian defector Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal were poisoned in England by Russian intelligence using the deadly Novichok .
Again there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deadliest nerve agent and officially were discharged from hospital whereupon they “ disappeared.
” While more research will undoubtedly turn up more evidence , the pattern of NATO or Anglo-American active measures against key Russian periphery countries or against strategic Russian economic interests all within the same timespan suggests some kind of coordinated attack .
And it so happens that the targets of the attacks fit precisely to the outline of a major US military think tank report .
In a 2019 research report to the US Army , the RAND corporation published @ @ @ @ @ @ @ title , “ Extending Russia : Competing from Advantageous Ground.
” They note that by extending Russia they mean “ nonviolent measures that could stress Russia ’ s military or economy or the regime ’ s political standing at home and abroad.
” All of the above stress points certainly fill that description .
More striking is the specific elaboration of possible stress points to “ extend Russia , ” that is to over-extend her .

The Malevolent Encirclement of Russia RAND study prepared for the US Army F. WILLIAM ENGDAHL
Over recent weeks a series of events in the states surrounding the Russian Federation has erupted that certainly are not being greeted with joy in the Kremlin. Each crisis center of itself is not a definitive game-changer for future Russian security. Taken together they suggest something far more ominous is unfolding against Moscow. A recent RAND study prepared for the US Army suggests with remarkable accuracy who might be behind what will undoubtedly become a major threat to Russian security in coming months.
The Turkish-backed attacks by Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh, igniting a territory after almost three decades of relative stalemate and ceasefire, the ongoing destabilization of Lukashenko in Belarus, the bizarre EU and UK behavior surrounding the alleged poisoning of Russian dissident Navalny and most recently, the mass protests in Kyrgyzstan, a former part of the Soviet Union in Central Asia, bear the fingerprints of the MI6 of Britain, the CIA and an array of regime-change private NGOs.
Nagorno-Karabakh
On September 27, military forces from Azerbaijan broke the 1994 ceasefire with Armenia over the conflict in predominantly ethnic-Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh (ER: see map below – Russia is the area adjacent to Georgia and Azerbaijian, to the north). The heaviest fighting in years ensued on both sides as confrontation escalated. Turkey’s Erdogan came out openly in support of Baku against Armenia and Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh, leading Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister of Armenia, to accuse Turkey of “continuing a genocidal policy as a pragmatic task.” It was a clear reference to the 1915-23 Armenian charge of genocide of more than a million Armenian Christians by the Ottoman Empire. Turkey to this day refuses to acknowledge responsibility.
Image on the right is from South Front
While Armenia blames Erdogan for backing Azerbaijan in the present conflict in the Caucasus, Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, sometimes called “Putin’s chef” for his catering empire as well as his close ties to the Russian President, has said in an interview with a Turkish paper that the Armenia-Azeri conflict was provoked by “the Americans,” and that the Pashinyan regime (Armenia) is essentially in the service of the USA. Here it gets interesting.
Pashinyan has named recipients of Soros money to most key cabinet positions including state In 2018 Pashinyan came to power via mass protests called the “Velvet Revolution.” He was openly and heavily supported by the Soros Open Society Foundation-Armenia which, since 1997, has been active funding numerous “democracy” NGOs in the country. As Prime Minister,Pashinyan has named recipients of Soros money to most key cabinet positions including state security and defense
At the same time it is unthinkable that Erdogan’s Turkey, still in NATO, would so openly support Azerbaijan in a conflict that potentially could lead to a Turkish confrontation with Russia, without prior backing in some form from Washington. Armenia is a member of the economic and defense association Eurasian Economic Union, together with Russia. This makes the comments of Prigozhin especially interesting.
It is also worth noting that the head of the CIA, Gina Haspel, and the recently-named head of Britain’s MI-6, Richard Moore, are both seasoned Turkey hands. Moore was UK Ambassador to Ankara until 2017. Haspel was CIA Station Chief in Azerbaijan at the end of the 1990’s. Before that, in 1990 Haspel was a CIA officer in Turkey, fluent in Turkish. Notably, although it has been scrubbed from her official CIA bio, she was also CIA Station Chief in London just prior to being named Trump Administration CIA head. She was also specialized in operations against Russia when she was in Langley at the CIA Directorate of Operations.
This raises the question whether the dark hands of an Anglo-American intelligence operation are behind the current Azeri-Armenia conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. Adding further gunpowder to the Caucasus unrest, on October 5 NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that NATO’s security interests are synonymous with those of Turkey, despite Turkish purchase of Russian advanced air defense systems. Washington until now has been conspicuously silent on the Caucasus conflict or Turkey’s alleged role.
And Belarus…
The eruption of the simmering Nagorno-Karabakh conflict near Russia’s southern border is not the only state where Washington is actively promoting destabilization of vital Russian neighbors these days. Since the August elections, Belarus has been filled with orchestrated protests accusing President Lukashenko of election fraud. The opposition has been active in exile from neighboring NATO Baltic countries.
(ER: Remember that it was Lukashenko who blew the whistle on the IMF funding as a major incentive for the largely global lockdowns. See World Bank/IMF Exposed: COVID Aid Conditional On Imposing Extreme Lockdowns, Curfews.)
In 2019, the US government-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) listed on its website some 34 NED project grants in Belarus. All of them were directed to nurture and train an anti-Lukashenko series of opposition groups and build domestic NGOs. The grants went for such projects as “NGO Strengthening: To increase local and regional civic engagement… to identify local problems and develop advocacy strategies.” Another was to “expand an online depository of publications not readily accessible in the country, including works on politics, civil society, history, human rights, and independent culture.” Then another NED grant went, “To defend and support independent journalists and media.” And another, “NGO Strengthening: To foster youth civic engagement.” Another large NED grant went to “training democratic parties and movements in effective advocacy campaigns.” Behind the innocent-sounding NED projects is a pattern of creating a specially-trained opposition on the lines of the CIA’s NED model “Color Revolutions” template.
As if the unrest in the Caucasus and Belarus were not enough to give Moscow migraine headaches, on September 29 in Brussels, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia met with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. Stoltenberg told him that, “NATO supports Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders. We call on Russia to end its recognition of [Georgia’s breakaway] regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and to withdraw its forces.” Stoltenberg then told Gakharia, “And I encourage you to continue making full use of all the opportunities for coming closer to NATO. And to prepare for membership.” Of course, NATO membership for Russian neighbor Georgia would amount to a strategic challenge for Russia as would that of Ukraine. The NATO comments add to the tensions facing the Kremlin recently.
Kyrgystan’s Third Color Revolution?
Then former Soviet Union Central Asian republic, Kyrgyzstan, has also just erupted in mass protests that have brought down the government for the third time since 2005, over opposition allegations of election fraud. USAID, a known cover often for CIA operations, is active in the country as is the Soros Foundation which has created a university in Biskek and funds the usual array of projects, “to promote justice, democratic governance, and human rights.” It should be noted that Kyrgyzstan is also a member of the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union along with Armenia and Belarus.
Then to increase the heat on Russia, we have the bizarre charges by the German Bundeswehr intelligence and now the OPCW that Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was poisoned in Russia using “a Soviet-era nerve agent,” said by the Germans to be Novichok. While Navalny since has evidently emerged quite alive and out of hospital, the German officials, as well as British, do not bother to explain such a miraculous recovery from what is reputed to be the most deadly nerve agent ever. Following the OPCW statement that the substance was Novichok, the German Foreign Minister is threatening severe sanctions against Russia. Many are calling for Germany to cancel the Russian NordStream-2 gas pipeline as response, a blow that would hit Russia at a time of severe economic weakness from low oil prices and corona lockdown effects.
Nor does Germany bother to investigate the mysterious Russian companion of Navalny, Maria Pevchikh, who claims to have rescued the “Novichok-poisoned” empty water bottle from Navalny’s hotel room in Tomsk Russia before he was flown to Berlin on the personal invitation of Angela Merkel. After delivering the poisoned bottle to Berlin in person, she apparently swiftly flew to London where she lives, and no German or other authorities apparently tried to interview her as a potential material witness.
Pevchikh has a long association with London where she works with the Navalny foundation and is in reported close contact with Jacob Rothschild’s friend, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the convicted fraudster and Putin foe. Khodorkovsky is also a major funder of the Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK in Russian). There are credible reports that the mysterious Pevchikh is an asset of MI-6, the same MI-6 that ran another ludicrous Novichok drama in 2018 claiming that Russian defector Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal were poisoned in England by Russian intelligence using the deadly Novichok. Again there, both Skripals miraculously recovered from the deadliest nerve agent and officially were discharged from hospital whereupon they “disappeared.”
A RAND Blueprint?
While more research will undoubtedly turn up more evidence, the pattern of NATO or Anglo-American active measures against key Russian periphery countries or against strategic Russian economic interests all within the same timespan suggests some kind of coordinated attack.
And it so happens that the targets of the attacks fit precisely to the outline of a major US military think tank report. In a 2019 research report to the US Army, the RAND corporation published a set of policy recommendations under the title, “Extending Russia: Competing from Advantageous Ground.” They note that by extending Russia they mean “nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad.” All of the above stress points certainly fill that description. More striking is the specific elaboration of possible stress points to “extend Russia,” that is to over-extend her.
The report specifically discusses what they call “Geopolitical Measures” to over-extend Russia. These include providing lethal aid to Ukraine; promoting regime change in Belarus; exploiting tensions in the South Caucasus; reduce Russian influence in Central Asia. It also includes proposals to weaken the Russian economy by challenging its gas and oil sectors
Notably, these are the same areas of geopolitical turbulence within Russia’s strategic sphere of influence today. Specifically, on the Caucasus, RAND states, “Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia were part of the Soviet Union, and Russia still maintains significant sway over the region today…” They note that, “Today, Russia recognizes both South Ossetia and Abkhazia as separate countries (one of the few governments to do so) and is committed to their defense…. The United States might also renew efforts to bring Georgia into NATO. Georgia has long sought NATO membership;…” ix Recall the cited remarks of NATO’s Stoltenberg to encourage Georgia joining NATO and demanding Russia give up recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
The RAND report also highlights the tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan:
‘Russia also plays a key role with Azerbaijan and Armenia, particularly over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh… the United States could push for a closer NATO relationship with Georgia and Azerbaijan, likely leading Russia to strengthen its military presence in South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Armenia, and southern Russia. Alternatively, the United States could try to induce Armenia to break with Russia.’
In relation to current massive protests in Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia, RAND notes, “Russia is part of two economic ventures related to Central Asia: the EEU and the Belt and Road Initiative.” A pro-NATO regime change could throw a big barrier between Russia and China as well as within its EEU. As to economic pressures, the RAND report cites the possibility of pressuring the EU to abandon the NordStream-2 gas pipeline from Russia direct to Germany. The recent Navalny incident is creating growing pressure within the EU and even Germany to stop NordStream-2 as sanction for the Navalny affair. RAND notes,
“In terms of extending Russia economically, the main benefit of creating supply alternatives to Russian gas is that it would lower Russian export revenues. The federal Russian budget is already stressed, leading to planned cuts in defense spending, and lowering gas revenues would stress the budget further.”
If we examine the growing pressures on Russia from the examples cited here and compare with the language of the 2019 RAND report, it is clear that many of Russia’s current strategic problems are being deliberately engineered and orchestrated from the West, specifically from Washington and London. How Russia deals with this as well as certain future escalation of NATO pressures clearly presents a major geopolitical challenge.

Senators: Did Secret Service hide documents about Hunter Biden from Congress?
BY SHARYL ATTKISSON
Secret Service records appear to provide verification of documents regarding conflicts of interest regarding former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and other member of the Biden family.
That’s according to leading Senate Republicans investigating the matter.
The senators, Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), are also questioning representations made to them by the Secret Service regarding its protective detail to Hunter.
In a new letter to Secret Service Director James Murray, Johnson and Grassley outline how records they previously obtained from the Secret Service line up with, and seem to provide verification of, newly-public emails about Hunter Biden’s controversial dealings with and payments from foreign businesspeople.
An April 13, 2014 email allegedly from Hunter Biden to his then-business associate Devon Archer refers to traveling to Houston “tmrw.”

Cooney ’ s family are “ extremely concerned given the nervousness gleaned from Bevan ’ s reaction this morning Bevan Cooney , the former business associate of former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s son Hunter Biden who flipped on the Biden family , has been moved from his cell , sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Breitbart News .

” “ Bevan could sense that things had changed with the rise in visibility of his story , ” Tyrmand said .
Cooney ’ s family stressed to Tyrmand they are “ extremely concerned given the nervousness gleaned from Bevan ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appreciate a sign from the powers that be that Bevan is in protective custody.

Fauci’s Folly (COVID-19)

According to Australian researchers , the Wuhan COVID-19 virus likely is artificial , created in the lab — in China .
According to Chinese virologist Li Meng Yan , it was intentionally created and spread by the Chinese government .
Let ’ s start from the beginning , the physical construction of the place where the virus was created , the Wuhan Institute of Virology , was funded by the French government in 2004 in an attempt to ingratiate themselves with the Chinese communist dictatorship .
Upon completion , the Chinese let only one French national into the building .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ solely the work of the Chinese state .
As that was going on , events that led to the making of the virus occurred in the West .
Those started decades before with the founding of The Wildlife Trust in 1971 by English wildlife lover Gerald Durrell .
Its headquarters eventually moved to New York .
Then in 1997 , the Wildlife Trust spun out The Consortium for Conservation Medicine .
This organization has been described as a “ unique collaborative institution that strives to understand the link between anthropogenic environmental change , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the conservation of biodiversity.
” In other words , it is a spiritual home for health academics worried about global warming .
The Wildlife Trust and the Consortium for Conservation Medicine merged in 2010 to form the EcoHealth Alliance .
One benefit from the name change was to enable government health bodies to give it money .
Dr. Anthony Fauci and his offsider at the National Institutes of Health , David Morens , have been publishing papers like this one since 2004 .
In that paper they list ‘ Intent to harm ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of infectious diseases .
This is expanded in a paragraph on ‘ Deliberately emerging infections ’ : They warned us that there could be such a thing as a diabolical operation from a bad actor to spread disease .
They also had an interest in global warming .
The first of Fauci ’ s and Morens ’ s subsequent papers to mention “ global warming in the emergence of diseases ” was this one , from 2008 .
About the same time , virus researchers in the U.S. started doing interesting things .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ strain so that it was more readily transmittable between ferrets .

Fauci’s COVID-19 Folly
By: David Archibald
According to Australian researchers, the Wuhan COVID-19 virus likely is artificial, created in the lab — in China. According to Chinese virologist Li Meng Yan, it was intentionally created and spread by the Chinese government.
Let’s start from the beginning, the physical construction of the place where the virus was created, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was funded by the French government in 2004 in an attempt to ingratiate themselves with the Chinese communist dictatorship. Upon completion, the Chinese let only one French national into the building. What went on in that building was solely the work of the Chinese state.
As that was going on, events that led to the making of the virus occurred in the West. Those started decades before with the founding of The Wildlife Trust in 1971 by English wildlife lover Gerald Durrell.
Its headquarters eventually moved to New York. Then in 1997, the Wildlife Trust spun out The Consortium for Conservation Medicine. This organization has been described as a “unique collaborative institution that strives to understand the link between anthropogenic environmental change, the health of all species, and the conservation of biodiversity.” In other words, it is a spiritual home for health academics worried about global warming.
The Wildlife Trust and the Consortium for Conservation Medicine merged in 2010 to form the EcoHealth Alliance. One benefit from the name change was to enable government health bodies to give it money.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and his offsider at the National Institutes of Health, David Morens, have been publishing papers like this one since 2004. In that paper they list ‘Intent to harm’ as a contributing factor in the emergence of infectious diseases.
This is expanded in a paragraph on ‘Deliberately emerging infections’:
Deliberately emerging microbes are those that have been developed by man, usually for nefarious use. The term ‘deliberately emerging’ refers to both naturally occurring microbial agents such as anthrax 6, and to bioengineered microorganisms such as those created by the insertion of genetic virulence factors that produce or exacerbate disease. Deliberately emerging microbes include microorganisms or toxins produced in a form that would cause maximal harm because of ease of dissemination, enhanced infectivity or heightened pathogenicity.
They warned us that there could be such a thing as a diabolical operation from a bad actor to spread disease.
They also had an interest in global warming. The first of Fauci’s and Morens’s subsequent papers to mention “global warming in the emergence of diseases” was this one, from 2008.
About the same time, virus researchers in the U.S. started doing interesting things. Two labs altered the H5N1 avian flu strain so that it was more readily transmittable between ferrets. Ferrets use the same cellular receptors as humans for the virus, and strains that infect people spread among ferrets and cause similar symptoms. This is ‘gain of function’ research which is another way of saying they were trying to make deadly viruses yet more deadly. Because of lab mishaps, gain of function research was outlawed in the U.S. in 2012.
It was at this time that somebody, one Nicholas Evans, nailed Fauci’s idee fixe. In a reply to a paper co-authored by Fauci’s sidekick Morens is this sentence:
To claim that nature conducts research is playing fast and loose with the criteria; that nature breaks the rules smacks of an animism that is hard to fathom.
Fauci reacted to the ban on gain of function research by taking it to China, where he knew this sort of thing was going on. This was channeled through his ideological soulmates at EcoHealth Alliance. As Rudy Giuliani said in an interview:
Back in 2014, the Obama administration prohibited the U.S. from giving money to any laboratory, including in the U.S., that was fooling around with these viruses. Prohibited. Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory. And then even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe that laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans, we never pulled that money.
This is why the U.S. consulate in Wuhan visited the lab a number of times and wrote reports complaining about the poor biosecurity standards there. A lab mishap duly occurred at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Satellite imagery shows roadblocks around the lab from Oct. 6 to Oct. 11, 2019. This is supported by U.S. mapping of mobile phone traffic which showed a reduction in traffic from the affected building. Meanwhile, the Russians realized that troop movements could be mapped by the U.S. from mobile phone data, so over in Russia, Putin banned Russian troops from carrying mobile phones a week later.
The virus spread. Zinc is known to inhibit viral replication. Doctors in Wuhan remembered a 2014 paper which showed that chloroquine is a zinc ionophore and found that it worked in treating infected patients. On May 22, 2020, the U.K. medical journal The Lancet joyously published a paper stating that hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work. Medical authorities around the world reacted by withdrawing hydroxychloroquine from treatment of the Wuhan virus. Death rates spiked up dramatically about two weeks later. This is illustrated by the experience in Switzerland, as shown by the following graphic from France Soir:
The gray-shaded area is the period of increased deaths in Switzerland due to the study in The Lancet. The death rate jumped 13 days after the administration of hydroxychloroquine was withdrawn, and then it dropped 13 days after the resumption of dispensing hydroxychloroquine. That was just Switzerland. The Lancet retracted the paper on June 4, more over the damage it was doing to its reputation than embarrassment at the number of deaths it caused. Nobody in the media has displayed any interest in who was behind this hit job.
It has been estimated that the fatwa against hydroxychloroquine resulted in 80,000 deaths around the world.
A similar hit job was attempted on the diabetic drug metformin which had also been found to be effective against the Wuhan virus. From down in the comments it is noted that “hydroxychloroquine did show excellent results just for prophylaxis of diabetes” in a paper from April 2019. So, it seems that diabetic drugs are effective against the Wuhan virus, perhaps all of them. This is due to reduced conversion of sugars to fat. Hydroxychloroquine combines that effect with being a zinc ionophore.
If somebody funded the hit jobs on hydroxychloroquine and metformin, there has been no interest in finding out who, or their motivation.
Now back to Dr Fauci. In September he and his sidekick Morens published the latest iteration of their 2004 paper. Fauci’s weltanschaung is succinctly put in this paragraph from the September 2020 paper:
The COVID-19 pandemic is yet another reminder, added to the rapidly growing archive of historical reminders, that in a human-dominated world, in which our human activities represent aggressive, damaging, and unbalanced interactions with nature, we will increasingly provoke new disease emergences. We remain at risk for the foreseeable future. COVID-19 is among the most vivid wake-up calls in over a century. It should force us to begin to think in earnest and collectively about living in more thoughtful and creative harmony with nature.
It reminds me of the Unabomber’s manifesto which stated in part that modernity has “subjected human beings to indignities, has led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and has inflicted severe damage on the natural world.” Fauci is no Unabomber, but his use of the expression “wake-up call” to describe what looks like biowarfare is disturbing to say the least, particularly when Dr. Fauci sent millions of taxpayer dollars to the lab from which COVID-19 seems to have emerged.
The world has failed to heat up as predicted by the global warming necromancers, instead remaining stubbornly pleasant. To imply that the appearance of the Wuhan virus proves that Nature is taking its revenge on humans for not living in harmony with it raises awkward questions about Dr. Fauci’s worldview.
