Covid-19 & Celebrity Humanitarianism

On the 12th November 2020 , an article appeared in the Daily Mail about three powerful men sharing a beach holiday : Twitter ’ s Jack Dorsey , Hollywood ’ s Sean Penn and the reclusive Israeli billionaire , Vivi Nevo .
The story slipped under the radar , almost unnoticed by a public caught up in the Covid-19 controversy that continues to sweep the planet .
However , the connections between these three elite influencers is well worth a closer look , particularly with regards to their combined role in promoting the transnational corporatocracy ’ s Covid-19 narratives .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ valiant , misguided or corrupt ?
Sean Penn established Community Organised Relief Effort ( CORE ) in January 2010 in response to the earthquake that devastated the island of Haiti that same year .
Formerly called the J/P Haitian Relief Organisation , CORE claims that : What CORE fails to mention is that the destabilisation and eradication of Haitian culture , heritage , communities and self-sufficiency began long before the earthquake of 2010 .
It might have something to do with the funding that CORE receives from USAID , a CIA power expansion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relationship with the Clintons whose foundation has been instrumental in the “ rapacious role of US imperialism in that impoverished semi-colonial country.
” Penn declines to mention that Clinton , Bush and Obama have the blood of Haitians on their hands or that Clinton and Bush were deeply involved in “ perpetuating the poverty , backwardness and repression in Haiti ” that exacerbated the crisis in January 2010 that Penn responded to .
The Clinton ’ s influence on the island of Haiti has been one of unmitigated predation and political piracy – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who endorsed Hilary Clinton in the 2016 elections and who visited the imperialism-stricken island with robber baron , Bill Clinton , in 2015 .
Penn appears to be blissfully ignorant of the scandal surrounding the Clinton response to the 2010 earthquake that left the already scavenged island in tatters .
The Clintons stepped up to lead the global response to the Haiti earthquake .
At President Obama ’ s request , Clinton and George W. Bush created the “ Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund , ” and began “ aggressively fundraising around the world to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Recovery Commission ( IHRC ) selected Bill Clinton as its co-chair .
Hillary Clinton was still Secretary of State and was therefore responsible for funnelling USAID “ relief ” funding to Haiti .
A whopping $ 13.3 billion was pledged by international donors to allegedly rebuild Haiti and to restore dignity to the lives of the forcibly impoverished Haitian people .
Unsurprisingly , the IHRC response was mired in controversy and accusations of embezzlement levied against the Clintons who , effectively , held the purse strings of the incoming donations .
The IHRC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three years but the deplorable misery and poverty that Haitians endure did not improve .
It is widely believed that the Clintons cynically robbed and destroyed Haiti for their own gain .
Haitian author , journalist , and historian , Dady Chery , expressed the general view thus : Rather than express outrage at the Clinton potential involvement in defrauding the people of Haiti , Penn continued a campaign of genuflection to the Clintons .
In 2015 , at a Haiti benefit event , Penn introduced Bill Clinton as a “ once-in-a-generation leader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ courage and compassion that can be unequivocally measured by sustainable benefits and the improvement of so many lives around the world.
” During his twenty minute speech , Clinton praised Penn for his work in Haiti and encouraged the star-studded audience to contribute to what is now CORE by stating that “ you will never contribute to an organisation that will give you a higher probability of having your good intentions turned into real positive changes in other people ’ s lives ” .
The hypocrisy oozed from every honeyed word .
Also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ predator , Harvey Weinstein , the Hollywood producer who was sentenced to 23 years in prison for first-degree criminal sexual acts and third-degree rape earlier this year .
This will connect to the other two men on the beach ( i.e .
Jack Dorsey and Vivo Nevo ) in Part 2 .
In 2012 , Hillary Clinton ’ s aides lavished praise on Penn who had just received the 2012 “ Peace Summit Award ” from former Soviet Union President , Mikhail Gorbachev , for his work in Haiti .
A number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ address had been redacted but was listed as “ CIA ” .
Whether Penn participated knowingly in the imperialist rape of Haiti or was nothing more than a useful celebrity idiot who served the agenda of the Clinton/Bush vulture policy is a question for serious debate .
Penn certainly didn ’ t slum it when travelling to Haiti .
HRO or CORE paid out more than $ 126,000 in first class flights in 2013 .
This luxury travel was justified by Penn ’ s celebrity status and “ consideration for his safety ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Clintons also apparently brought him into the nefarious orbit of child-sex provider and elite blackmailer , Jeffrey Epstein .
It has been claimed that Penn was on the guest list of an intimate dinner between Epstein ’ s under-age girl procurer , Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton in 2014 .
Fast forward to 2020 , and we find Sean Penn and CORE intimately involved in Covid-19 drive-through testing centres .
In September 2020 , CORE had conducted more than one million Coronavirus tests , by November , this had increased to 2.5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tests in diagnosing Covid-19 has been the subject of much scientific discussion with a growing number of medical experts and analysts dismissing the PCR test as unreliable and inconclusive due to the high percentage of false positives .
It is also claimed that this widespread DNA collection under the pretext of Covid-19 could be a covert genetic information harvest on the pretext of extracting viral DNA from all the genetic material .
I spoke with a medical expert who will remain anonymous for security reasons and he informed me that the PCR test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” He told me : He informed me that most labs are running upwards of 40 cycles .
He also told me : The sinister question is whether all this genetic DNA information is passed on to undisclosed entities for “ research purposes ” without the patient ’ s knowledge .
Prior to the Covid-19 “ crisis ” , patient privacy in the US was protected by federal laws like the Common Rule and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) .
The Emergency laws or orders introduced on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ genome harvesting strategy with little or no accountability for how the DNA information collected is ultimately used .
The issue of DNA collection is not new .
An article by Off-Guardian from 2017 asked why the US Air-force was collecting samples of Caucasian Russian DNA .
Predictably , the story was ignored by US/UK state media .
At the time , Russian President Putin , speculated that the US was preparing an anti-Russian bioweapon .
That theory is no longer so “ conspiratorial ” with the looming threat of a potential bioterror false @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world into even greater engineered chaos .
As part of my research for this article , I sent an email to CORE asking them what they did with the DNA collected from their testing procedures .
Until now , no response has been forthcoming .
CORE now receives funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
Jack Dorsey , the Twitter CEO donated $ 10 million to Penn ’ s initiative .
Further sponsors include the Clinton Foundation .
The CORE testing site at Dodger Stadium , Los Angeles is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times the size of any other location in LA ” and can test up to 6,000 people per day .
Mouth swabs are used in place of the nasal swabs to avoid the need for medical staff to perform the test .
Penn ’ s funding from Covid-19 impresario , Bill Gates , is an indicator of the depth of Penn ’ s involvement in what is the Covid-19 portal to the World Economic Forum ’ s “ Great Reset ” .
Penn is no stranger to the Gates world of “ philanthropy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gender inequality at a 2015 Hollywood Report “ women in entertainment ” breakfast , it was Penn who introduced her .
Penn went on to extol the Gates global immunisation projects .
That Penn is wholly supportive of the Covid-19 class war should come as no surprise .
One can not help but wonder what happened to Penn .
In 2002 , Penn placed a $ 56,000 advertisement in the Washington Post , asking President George W. Bush to end a cycle of violence .
In 2003 , he wrote an impassioned anti-imperialist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opposing the Bush military interventionism in Iraq .
This could simply be a result of Penn ’ s fervent support for the Democrats or it could indicate that , once upon a time , Penn had genuine anti-war principles .
I will cover Penn ’ s pro-Democrat-bias and possible connections later in this article .
Today , in 2020 , Penn appears to be a fully fledged member of the billionaire and Big Pharma complex that is pushing a high-risk global vaccination roll-out .
He has demanded that the “ military must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus.
” Penn has described the military intervention in Haiti as the US deployment of “ the most effective logistical and humanitarian organization the world has ever seen : the US military.
” Penn ’ s own terminology in relation CORE ’ s Covid-19 response has been littered with military analogy , describing it as a “ mission to save lives ” , an interesting allusion to “ an active shooter scenario ” and finally “ you become a gun.
” That might be a little closer to the truth than Penn intended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Clintons , the Rockefeller Foundation , the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
This is not a grass roots volunteer organization , it is an instrument of power .
Co-founder of CORE , or J/P HRO as it was in 2010 , is a notorious character by the name of Sanela Diana Jenkins ( the J/P stood for Jenkins-Penn ) .
Jenkins who is of Bosnian ( Bosnia and Herzegovina ) origin , has consistently underpinned the narratives that led to the NATO bombing of former Yugoslavia in 1999 including the much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ greater understanding of the complexities of this dark period in Yugoslav history , I highly recommend “ Media Cleansing , Dirty Reporting , ” by Peter Brock .
Jenkins raised $ 1 million for the Clinton Foundation in Haiti and , together with actor George Clooney , she raised $ 10 million for the “ Not on Our Watch ” organisation , which intervened in Darfur on behalf of US imperialist interests .
Jenkins actively supported regime change in Libya which resulted in the brutal murder of its President , Muammar Gaddafi , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who said : “ we came , we saw , he died ” .
I mentioned Penn ’ s support for the Democrats earlier in the article .
A deeper delve into Penn ’ s “ journalism ” reveals a possible political agenda that is in lock-step with the Democrat policies .
On October 23rd 2008 , Penn met with President Raul Castro of Cuba , less than two weeks before Barack Obama was elected as the first black US President .
During the seven-hour meeting , Castro expressed a desire to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would reverse some of the draconian policies imposed by the preceding Bush administration during his election campaign .
The Mexican drug cartels and the US banking cartel cover-up According to Penn ’ s biography as it appears in his controversial Rolling Stone interview with Mexican drug lord , Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera , i.e .
El Chapo , “ Actor , writer and director Sean Penn has written from the front lines in Haiti , Iraq , Iran , Venezuela and Cuba.
” El Chapo ’ s arrest almost immediately after meeting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s involvement in his detection .
However , there is evidence that El Chapo was actually not that hard to find and that the entire capture may have been nothing more than elaborate cover for the real billionaire criminals behind the global drug dealing industry , the US banking cartel .
One could be forgiven for speculating that the Penn scandal provided spectacular cover for the oligarchs behind the scenes of El Chapo ’ s Sinaloa cartel .
In March 2010 , Wachovia bank agreed “ in a settlement to having laundered at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from 2004-2007 for Mexican drug cartels.
” The case never went to court .
There is also the additional issue of claims of the discovery of a 50-caliber sniper rifle associated with Obama ’ s “ Operation Fast and Furious ” at the hideout of El Chapo .
Operation Fast and Furious involved the sale of firearms at retail stores which could then allegedly be tracked to prominent drug cartel figures in Mexico .
The operation was an abject failure which resulted in the murder of various individuals with US-supplied weapons , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ equip ” programme in Syria , which squandered $ 500 million on weapons and equipment for the non-existent “ moderate opposition.
” These weapons , they say , inexplicably fell into the hands of the global terror organisation , ISIS .
The US National Rifle Association accused Obama and former Attorney General , Eric Holder of hatching the operation as cover to increase gun violence in Mexico and thus justify more restrictive gun-laws in the US .
At the very least , the timing of Penn ’ s intervention and the subsequent arrest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ always in the “ right ” place at the right time ?
In 2012 , Penn met with US-approved , former Haiti President , Jean Claude “ Baby Doc ” Duvalier whose father Francois “ Papa Doc ” Duvalier , had been instated as President-for-life in 1957 with US backing .
US warships were reportedly stationed “ just off the coast of Haiti to oversee a smooth transition of power to Duvalier ’ s son.
” Under the Duvalier dynasty , more than 60,000 Haitians were murdered and tortured by death squads known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dissenters alive or publicly hung them .
“ Baby Doc ” had been removed from power in 1986 by a popular uprising .
After his meeting with “ Baby Doc ” , Penn recommended “ reconciliation ” with this neo-colonialist instrument of injustice , despite the fact that Haitian human rights group and civilians wished to see “ Baby Doc ” prosecuted for “ crimes against humanity ” and widespread corruption .
Penn does not specify the date of his 2012 “ chance ” meeting with “ Baby Doc ” but perhaps coincidentally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Doc ” in January 2012 in Titanyen , the site of mass graves for the bodies of men , women and children massacred by the Duvalier tyrants over the course of three decades of US-orchestrated and sponsored dictatorship .
On the same stage with “ Baby Doc ” and Clinton was the latest in the line of US-approved puppet leaders , President Michel Martelly also highly promoted by Penn .
In 2011 , Penn just happened to be in Tahrir Square as the Arab Spring gathered momentum in Egypt .
Penn called on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to democracy ” .
Penn told the Egyptian daily , Al Ahram , that “ the world is inspired by the call for freedom by the courageous revolution of Egypt [ .. ] a transition of power from the military to the people.
” Effectively , Penn came out in favour of yet another US/UK-orchestrated regime change – one that would ultimately lead to the reduction of Egypt to a poverty-stricken nation dependent upon foreign aid , conveniently for the US and Israel who alongside the UK , were instrumental in fomenting the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – “ The Revolution Business ” .
In 2009 , two American “ hitch-hikers ” , Josh Fattel and Shane Bauer , were arrested by Iranian border guards after they were accused of entering Iranian territory on the border with Iraqi “ Kurdistan ” without permission and were jailed for espionage .
Penn flew to Venezuela to ask President Hugo Chavez to negotiate their release with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad .
Penn had allegedly been alerted to the plight of Bauer and Fattel by friends in “ US intellectual circles.
” Penn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of much controversy in American media , but that controversy likely provided him with the credibility he needed to be afforded an audience with Syria ’ s US-media-maligned President Bashar Al Assad in the midst of the US/UK-driven “ regime change ” war against Syria .
The meeting is believed to have taken place during the summer of 2016 .
Perhaps it is yet another coincidence , but one of the Penn-rescued “ hitch hikers , ” Shane Bauer , went on to become a “ journalist ” member of the western media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the criminalization of the Syrian government and its elected President Bashar Al Assad .
A “ journalist ” who , without hesitation , regurgitated the now discredited 2018 Douma “ chemical weapon ” story despite serious doubts from acclaimed journalist , Robert Fisk , who was one of the first to visit the scene of the alleged attack .
Evidence that the attack was , almost certainly , a staged event , produced by the UK FCO-midwived White Helmets and Douma ’ s dominant armed group , Jaish Al Islam , seemed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” journalism .
One Syrian commentator on Twitter responded succinctly to Bauer ’ s tweet : Bauer , himself , reported that he had been denied a visa by the Syrian authorities because his “ journalism ” was not considered objective enough .
It is quite possible that the decision could also have been influenced by his history of illegal entry into Iran .
True to form , Bauer entered Syria illegally with the help of US-proxies , the Kurdish contra forces , the so-called “ Syrian Democratic Forces ” occupying much of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to produce his undercover report which served as thinly veiled PR for the continuation of a ten-year US/UK-led war against Syria .
Celebrity humanitarianism : PR for neoliberal capitalism and US hegemony Is Sean Penn a Hollywood “ honey trap ” for the five eyes intelligence alliance , as he was colourfully described by a Twitter commenter recently ?
Or is Penn nothing more than a member of the rising celebrity cult-humanitarian complex spearheaded by entertainment stars , billionaires and activist “ NGOs ” that include Bill Gates , George Soros @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s ex-wife , Madonna ?
The line between being an intelligence asset and an “ innocent ” promoter of US hegemony and neoliberal capitalism is an indistinct one in either case .
In many instances , the timing of Penn ’ s “ happenstance ” meetings with figures key to US foreign policy and military adventurism raises obvious questions .
I have not covered all of Penn ’ s political publicity stunts in this article , only those I consider to be the primary ones .
Effectively , Penn ’ s political @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the US predatory class , which inevitably result in global inequality , food insecurity and devastation for countries in the cross-hairs , the same global insecurity that Penn ’ s version of celebrity altruism claims to fight against .
As described in the book , Celebrity Humanitarianism – the ideology of global charity by Byllan Kapoor : Penn is a Covid-19 fearmongering fanatic .
Aside from demanding that the military be involved in the response , Penn has issued an array of stinging attacks on Twitter against President Trump ’ s Covid-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Penn-perceived magnitude of the threat .
Perhaps unsurprisingly , Penn is supportive of the Biden power bid , which will bring in a Covid-19 task force comprised of individuals who have voiced support for eugenics and population control .
Who persuaded Penn to take to Twitter earlier this year ?
None other than Twitter CEO , Jack Dorsey , who will be the main subject of Part 2 of this article , which will cover Dorsey ’ s role in funding and promoting the Covid-19 Big Pharma programmes and draconian US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men on the beach are instrumental in paving the way for the Great Reset and Dorsey should be held responsible for much of the Twitter censorship of dissenting voices during this unprecedented power grab by the powers that be .
Celebrities like Penn and influencers like Dorsey enable their expansionism rather than call for their accountability for the damage being inflicted upon the world ’ s most vulnerable and increasingly disenfranchised human beings under the guise of “ relief.

On the 12th November 2020, an article appeared in the Daily Mail about three powerful men sharing a beach holiday: Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, Hollywood’s Sean Penn and the reclusive Israeli billionaire, Vivi Nevo.
The story slipped under the radar, almost unnoticed by a public caught up in the Covid-19 controversy that continues to sweep the planet. However, the connections between these three elite influencers is well worth a closer look, particularly with regards to their combined role in promoting the transnational corporatocracy’s Covid-19 narratives.
Sean Penn and his altruistic aspirations – valiant, misguided or corrupt?
The Clinton connection
Sean Penn established Community Organised Relief Effort (CORE) in January 2010 in response to the earthquake that devastated the island of Haiti that same year. Formerly called the J/P Haitian Relief Organisation, CORE claims that:
our life-saving programs revolve around building healthier and safer neighbourhoods to mitigate the scale of devastation caused by disaster.”
What CORE fails to mention is that the destabilisation and eradication of Haitian culture, heritage, communities and self-sufficiency began long before the earthquake of 2010. It might have something to do with the funding that CORE receives from USAID, a CIA power expansion agency, and Penn’s close relationship with the Clintons whose foundation has been instrumental in the “rapacious role of US imperialism in that impoverished semi-colonial country.”
Penn declines to mention that Clinton, Bush and Obama have the blood of Haitians on their hands or that Clinton and Bush were deeply involved in “perpetuating the poverty, backwardness and repression in Haiti” that exacerbated the crisis in January 2010 that Penn responded to.
According to journalist, Patrick Martin:
Clinton took office in the immediate aftermath of the military coup which ousted Haiti’s first democratically elected president, the populist cleric Jean-Bertrand Aristide. That coup was backed by the administration of Bush’s father, who saw Aristide as an unwanted and potentially dangerous radical.”
The Clinton’s influence on the island of Haiti has been one of unmitigated predation and political piracy – a legacy entirely ignored by Penn, who endorsed Hilary Clinton in the 2016 elections and who visited the imperialism-stricken island with robber baron, Bill Clinton, in 2015. Penn appears to be blissfully ignorant of the scandal surrounding the Clinton response to the 2010 earthquake that left the already scavenged island in tatters.
The Clintons stepped up to lead the global response to the Haiti earthquake. At President Obama’s request, Clinton and George W. Bush created the “Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund,” and began “aggressively fundraising around the world to support Haiti”. The Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) selected Bill Clinton as its co-chair. Hillary Clinton was still Secretary of State and was therefore responsible for funnelling USAID “relief” funding to Haiti.
A whopping $13.3 billion was pledged by international donors to allegedly rebuild Haiti and to restore dignity to the lives of the forcibly impoverished Haitian people. Unsurprisingly, the IHRC response was mired in controversy and accusations of embezzlement levied against the Clintons who, effectively, held the purse strings of the incoming donations.
The IHRC collected and estimated $ 9.9 billion in three years but the deplorable misery and poverty that Haitians endure did not improve. It is widely believed that the Clintons cynically robbed and destroyed Haiti for their own gain. Haitian author, journalist, and historian, Dady Chery, expressed the general view thus:
In 2016, by all estimates, the cost of the US presidential elections doubled or quadrupled to about $5-10 billion. This is the most expensive presidential bid in history, and Hillary Clinton has vastly outspent Donald Trump. Where did the money come from?”
Rather than express outrage at the Clinton potential involvement in defrauding the people of Haiti, Penn continued a campaign of genuflection to the Clintons. In 2015, at a Haiti benefit event, Penn introduced Bill Clinton as a “once-in-a-generation leader with laser focus, immense curiosity, courage and compassion that can be unequivocally measured by sustainable benefits and the improvement of so many lives around the world.”
During his twenty minute speech, Clinton praised Penn for his work in Haiti and encouraged the star-studded audience to contribute to what is now CORE by stating that “you will never contribute to an organisation that will give you a higher probability of having your good intentions turned into real positive changes in other people’s lives”. The hypocrisy oozed from every honeyed word.
Also present at the fundraising gala was sexual predator, Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood producer who was sentenced to 23 years in prison for first-degree criminal sexual acts and third-degree rape earlier this year. This will connect to the other two men on the beach (i.e. Jack Dorsey and Vivo Nevo) in Part 2.
In 2012, Hillary Clinton’s aides lavished praise on Penn who had just received the 2012 “Peace Summit Award” from former Soviet Union President, Mikhail Gorbachev, for his work in Haiti. A number of media reports pointed out that the email address had been redacted but was listed as “CIA”.
Whether Penn participated knowingly in the imperialist rape of Haiti or was nothing more than a useful celebrity idiot who served the agenda of the Clinton/Bush vulture policy is a question for serious debate. Penn certainly didn’t slum it when travelling to Haiti. HRO or CORE paid out more than $126,000 in first class flights in 2013. This luxury travel was justified by Penn’s celebrity status and “consideration for his safety”.
Penn’s close relationship with the Clintons also apparently brought him into the nefarious orbit of child-sex provider and elite blackmailer, Jeffrey Epstein. It has been claimed that Penn was on the guest list of an intimate dinner between Epstein’s under-age girl procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton in 2014.
Covid-19 “response” and a potential ulterior motive for CORE Covid-19 tests
Fast forward to 2020, and we find Sean Penn and CORE intimately involved in Covid-19 drive-through testing centres. In September 2020, CORE had conducted more than one million Coronavirus tests, by November, this had increased to 2.5 million.
To those who reject masks:
Please change your minds. People are suffering and dying, and the economy is totally collapsing entirely due to YOU. — Sean Penn (@SeanPenn) November 17, 2020
The PCR test, DNA harvesting and false positives
The validity of the PCR tests in diagnosing Covid-19 has been the subject of much scientific discussion with a growing number of medical experts and analysts dismissing the PCR test as unreliable and inconclusive due to the high percentage of false positives. It is also claimed that this widespread DNA collection under the pretext of Covid-19 could be a covert genetic information harvest on the pretext of extracting viral DNA from all the genetic material.
I spoke with a medical expert who will remain anonymous for security reasons and he informed me that the PCR test is “not designed to diagnose disease.” He told me:
The test identifies a genetic sequence being present in a sample and then copies it, thereby increasing the amount of genetic material. Each test cycle copies and increases the genetic material. A specific amount of GM is required to meet a threshold of detection. The test will keep copying until it is possible to say the virus is “detected”. Therein lies the problem. After “Covid” infection, when the virus has been removed by the immune system, some viral genetic debris can remain for many months. A tiny fragment viral, genetic material debris will be found and multiplied by many, many cycles until the detection threshold is reached. This is a false positive.
He informed me that most labs are running upwards of 40 cycles.
In at least 4 examples of RT PCR testing in the US, it was found that 90% of the positive tests were actually false.”
He also told me:
the real reason they are pushing the testing is control. They want a rapid test to be used every day, multiple times per day to gain entry to school, work, restaurants, entertainment centres etc. It is conditioning.”
The sinister question is whether all this genetic DNA information is passed on to undisclosed entities for “research purposes” without the patient’s knowledge.
Prior to the Covid-19 “crisis”, patient privacy in the US was protected by federal laws like the Common Rule and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The Emergency laws or orders introduced on the back of Covid-19 have enabled a widespread genome harvesting strategy with little or no accountability for how the DNA information collected is ultimately used.
The issue of DNA collection is not new. An article by Off-Guardian from 2017 asked why the US Air-force was collecting samples of Caucasian Russian DNA. Predictably, the story was ignored by US/UK state media.
At the time, Russian President Putin, speculated that the US was preparing an anti-Russian bioweapon. That theory is no longer so “conspiratorial” with the looming threat of a potential bioterror false flag which will, inevitably, plunge the world into even greater engineered chaos.
As part of my research for this article, I sent an email to CORE asking them what they did with the DNA collected from their testing procedures. Until now, no response has been forthcoming.
CORE now receives funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Jack Dorsey, the Twitter CEO donated $10 million to Penn’s initiative. Further sponsors include the Clinton Foundation. The CORE testing site at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles is the largest in the US – “three times the size of any other location in LA” and can test up to 6,000 people per day. Mouth swabs are used in place of the nasal swabs to avoid the need for medical staff to perform the test.
Penn’s funding from Covid-19 impresario, Bill Gates, is an indicator of the depth of Penn’s involvement in what is the Covid-19 portal to the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset”. Penn is no stranger to the Gates world of “philanthropy”.
When Melinda Gates spoke about gender inequality at a 2015 Hollywood Report “women in entertainment” breakfast, it was Penn who introduced her. Penn went on to extol the Gates global immunisation projects. That Penn is wholly supportive of the Covid-19 class war should come as no surprise.

One cannot help but wonder what happened to Penn. In 2002, Penn placed a $56,000 advertisement in the Washington Post, asking President George W. Bush to end a cycle of violence. In 2003, he wrote an impassioned anti-imperialist full-page statement for the New York Times opposing the Bush military interventionism in Iraq.
Penn wrote:
We see Bechtel. We see Halliburton. We see Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Powell, Rice, Perle, Ashcroft, Murdoch, many more. We see no WMDs. We see dead young Americans. We see no WMDs. We see dead Iraqi civilians. We see no WMDs. We see chaos in the Baghdad streets. But no WMDs.”
This could simply be a result of Penn’s fervent support for the Democrats or it could indicate that, once upon a time, Penn had genuine anti-war principles. I will cover Penn’s pro-Democrat-bias and possible connections later in this article.
Today, in 2020, Penn appears to be a fully fledged member of the billionaire and Big Pharma complex that is pushing a high-risk global vaccination roll-out. He has demanded that the “military must be tasked with a full offensive against this virus.” Penn has described the military intervention in Haiti as the US deployment of “the most effective logistical and humanitarian organization the world has ever seen: the US military.”
Penn’s own terminology in relation CORE’s Covid-19 response has been littered with military analogy, describing it as a “mission to save lives”, an interesting allusion to “an active shooter scenario” and finally “you become a gun.” That might be a little closer to the truth than Penn intended.
CORE is backed by USAID, the Clintons, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This is not a grass roots volunteer organization, it is an instrument of power. Co-founder of CORE, or J/P HRO as it was in 2010, is a notorious character by the name of Sanela Diana Jenkins (the J/P stood for Jenkins-Penn).
Jenkins who is of Bosnian (Bosnia and Herzegovina) origin, has consistently underpinned the narratives that led to the NATO bombing of former Yugoslavia in 1999 including the much disputed Srebenica “genocide.” For a greater understanding of the complexities of this dark period in Yugoslav history, I highly recommend “Media Cleansing, Dirty Reporting,” by Peter Brock.
Jenkins raised $1 million for the Clinton Foundation in Haiti and, together with actor George Clooney, she raised $10 million for the “Not on Our Watch” organisation, which intervened in Darfur on behalf of US imperialist interests. Jenkins actively supported regime change in Libya which resulted in the brutal murder of its President, Muammar Gaddafi, which was famously celebrated by Hillary Clinton, who said: “we came, we saw, he died”.
Penn – Maverick or CIA tool?
I mentioned Penn’s support for the Democrats earlier in the article. A deeper delve into Penn’s “journalism” reveals a possible political agenda that is in lock-step with the Democrat policies.
On October 23rd 2008, Penn met with President Raul Castro of Cuba, less than two weeks before Barack Obama was elected as the first black US President. During the seven-hour meeting, Castro expressed a desire to meet with Obama who had said that he would reverse some of the draconian policies imposed by the preceding Bush administration during his election campaign.
The Mexican drug cartels and the US banking cartel cover-up
According to Penn’s biography as it appears in his controversial Rolling Stone interview with Mexican drug lord, Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, i.e. El Chapo, “Actor, writer and director Sean Penn has written from the front lines in Haiti, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba.” El Chapo’s arrest almost immediately after meeting with Penn drew accusations of Penn’s involvement in his detection.
However, there is evidence that El Chapo was actually not that hard to find and that the entire capture may have been nothing more than elaborate cover for the real billionaire criminals behind the global drug dealing industry, the US banking cartel.
As journalist, Richard Becker, wrote in 2019:
Joaquin Guzman, also known as “El Chapo,” will likely spend the rest of his life in isolation inside a “supermax” prison in Colorado, after his sentencing on July 17 for drug trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes. No US bankers will be in the adjoining cells, although without vast assistance from the latter, the Mexico-based drug cartels could never have achieved the size and profitability they have. Despite the banks reaping huge profits as financiers and accomplices of the cartels, the number of bank executives criminally prosecuted for laundering hundreds of billions of dollars in illegal drug money is exactly zero.
One could be forgiven for speculating that the Penn scandal provided spectacular cover for the oligarchs behind the scenes of El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel. In March 2010, Wachovia bank agreed “in a settlement to having laundered at least $378 billion in drug money from 2004-2007 for Mexican drug cartels.” The case never went to court.
There is also the additional issue of claims of the discovery of a 50-caliber sniper rifle associated with Obama’s “Operation Fast and Furious” at the hideout of El Chapo.
Operation Fast and Furious involved the sale of firearms at retail stores which could then allegedly be tracked to prominent drug cartel figures in Mexico. The operation was an abject failure which resulted in the murder of various individuals with US-supplied weapons, not dissimilar to the Obama “train and equip” programme in Syria, which squandered $ 500 million on weapons and equipment for the non-existent “moderate opposition.”
These weapons, they say, inexplicably fell into the hands of the global terror organisation, ISIS. The US National Rifle Association accused Obama and former Attorney General, Eric Holder of hatching the operation as cover to increase gun violence in Mexico and thus justify more restrictive gun-laws in the US.
At the very least, the timing of Penn’s intervention and the subsequent arrest of El Chapo is interesting.
Penn always in the “right” place at the right time?
Haiti
In 2012, Penn met with US-approved, former Haiti President, Jean Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier whose father Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier, had been instated as President-for-life in 1957 with US backing. US warships were reportedly stationed “just off the coast of Haiti to oversee a smooth transition of power to Duvalier’s son.”
Under the Duvalier dynasty, more than 60,000 Haitians were murdered and tortured by death squads known as the Tonton Macoutes who regularly burned dissenters alive or publicly hung them. “Baby Doc” had been removed from power in 1986 by a popular uprising. After his meeting with “Baby Doc”, Penn recommended “reconciliation” with this neo-colonialist instrument of injustice, despite the fact that Haitian human rights group and civilians wished to see “Baby Doc” prosecuted for “crimes against humanity” and widespread corruption.
Penn does not specify the date of his 2012 “chance” meeting with “Baby Doc” but perhaps coincidentally, President Bill Clinton met “Baby Doc” in January 2012 in Titanyen, the site of mass graves for the bodies of men, women and children massacred by the Duvalier tyrants over the course of three decades of US-orchestrated and sponsored dictatorship. On the same stage with “Baby Doc” and Clinton was the latest in the line of US-approved puppet leaders, President Michel Martelly also highly promoted by Penn.
Egypt
In 2011, Penn just happened to be in Tahrir Square as the Arab Spring gathered momentum in Egypt.
Penn called on military leaders for a “faster transition to democracy”. Penn told the Egyptian daily, Al Ahram, that “the world is inspired by the call for freedom by the courageous revolution of Egypt [..] a transition of power from the military to the people.”
Effectively, Penn came out in favour of yet another US/UK-orchestrated regime change – one that would ultimately lead to the reduction of Egypt to a poverty-stricken nation dependent upon foreign aid, conveniently for the US and Israel who alongside the UK, were instrumental in fomenting the uprising as explained by the Journeyman documentary – “The Revolution Business”.
Iran, Syria and Chavez
In 2009, two American “hitch-hikers”, Josh Fattel and Shane Bauer, were arrested by Iranian border guards after they were accused of entering Iranian territory on the border with Iraqi “Kurdistan” without permission and were jailed for espionage. Penn flew to Venezuela to ask President Hugo Chavez to negotiate their release with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Penn had allegedly been alerted to the plight of Bauer and Fattel by friends in “US intellectual circles.”
Penn’s support for Chavez was the subject of much controversy in American media, but that controversy likely provided him with the credibility he needed to be afforded an audience with Syria’s US-media-maligned President Bashar Al Assad in the midst of the US/UK-driven “regime change” war against Syria. The meeting is believed to have taken place during the summer of 2016.
Perhaps it is yet another coincidence, but one of the Penn-rescued “hitch hikers,” Shane Bauer, went on to become a “journalist” member of the western media “regime change” chorus invested in the criminalization of the Syrian government and its elected President Bashar Al Assad.
A “journalist” who, without hesitation, regurgitated the now discredited 2018 Douma “chemical weapon” story despite serious doubts from acclaimed journalist, Robert Fisk, who was one of the first to visit the scene of the alleged attack. Evidence that the attack was, almost certainly, a staged event, produced by the UK FCO-midwived White Helmets and Douma’s dominant armed group, Jaish Al Islam, seemed to escape Bauer’s “in depth” journalism. One Syrian commentator on Twitter responded succinctly to Bauer’s tweet:
Your “investigation” is a load of crap.https://t.co/NxCfA4QOLP! — Angelis Dania (@NeotipPro) July 5, 2019
Bauer, himself, reported that he had been denied a visa by the Syrian authorities because his “journalism” was not considered objective enough. It is quite possible that the decision could also have been influenced by his history of illegal entry into Iran. True to form, Bauer entered Syria illegally with the help of US-proxies, the Kurdish contra forces, the so-called “Syrian Democratic Forces” occupying much of north-east Syria, including the oil fields in order to produce his undercover report which served as thinly veiled PR for the continuation of a ten-year US/UK-led war against Syria.
Celebrity humanitarianism: PR for neoliberal capitalism and US hegemony
Is Sean Penn a Hollywood “honey trap” for the five eyes intelligence alliance, as he was colourfully described by a Twitter commenter recently? Or is Penn nothing more than a member of the rising celebrity cult-humanitarian complex spearheaded by entertainment stars, billionaires and activist “NGOs” that include Bill Gates, George Soros, Angelina Jolie, Bono and Penn’s ex-wife, Madonna?
The line between being an intelligence asset and an “innocent” promoter of US hegemony and neoliberal capitalism is an indistinct one in either case.
In many instances, the timing of Penn’s “happenstance” meetings with figures key to US foreign policy and military adventurism raises obvious questions. I have not covered all of Penn’s political publicity stunts in this article, only those I consider to be the primary ones.
Effectively, Penn’s political involvement has furthered the foreign policy objectives of the US predatory class, which inevitably result in global inequality, food insecurity and devastation for countries in the cross-hairs, the same global insecurity that Penn’s version of celebrity altruism claims to fight against.
As described in the book, Celebrity Humanitarianism – the ideology of global charity by Byllan Kapoor:
[…]celebrity humanitarianism, far from being altruistic, is significantly contaminated and ideological: it is most often self-serving, helping to promote institutional aggrandizement and the celebrity ‘brand’; it advances consumerism and corporate capitalism, and rationalizes the very global inequality it seeks to redress; it is fundamentally depoliticizing, despite its pretensions to ‘activism’; and it contributes to a ‘post-democratic’ political landscape, which appears outwardly open and consensual, but is in fact managed by unaccountable elites.
Penn is a Covid-19 fearmongering fanatic. Aside from demanding that the military be involved in the response, Penn has issued an array of stinging attacks on Twitter against President Trump’s Covid-19 measures, deeming them ineffective and disproportionate to the Penn-perceived magnitude of the threat.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Penn is supportive of the Biden power bid, which will bring in a Covid-19 task force comprised of individuals who have voiced support for eugenics and population control.
Had it only been his histrionic man-child narcissism, he’d have been a punchline prissy president. It’s his sociopathy & murder of 100’s of thousands of Americans & his vainglorious crew of smarmy sycophants that will define him in infamy. That’s my last tweet on this demagogue. — Sean Penn (@SeanPenn) November 16, 2020
Who persuaded Penn to take to Twitter earlier this year? None other than Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, who will be the main subject of Part 2 of this article, which will cover Dorsey’s role in funding and promoting the Covid-19 Big Pharma programmes and draconian US government population suppression measures.
The three men on the beach are instrumental in paving the way for the Great Reset and Dorsey should be held responsible for much of the Twitter censorship of dissenting voices during this unprecedented power grab by the powers that be.
Celebrities like Penn and influencers like Dorsey enable their expansionism rather than call for their accountability for the damage being inflicted upon the world’s most vulnerable and increasingly disenfranchised human beings under the guise of “relief.”

Fascist Kabuki

There is a huge amount of material on CIA involvement in Hollywood .
This is not new , but it seems to have been compartmentalized by most Americans and shuttled off into the dark corners of their consciousness .
Most people largely don ’ t want to know .
And the reasons for this are complex .
But before digging into that , its not only the CIA that shapes entertainment , its nearly all institutions of government and almost all corporations and media itself .
Giant media conglomerates are in a sense hardly distinguishable from the CIA and Pentagon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ close to the classic definition of fascism .
And yet this is what happens constantly .
Now , again , the cooperation of the CIA and Pentagon is well known .
Two films that won Oscars for best picture ( Argo and Hurt Locker ) were essentially pure CIA and Pentagon propaganda .
And this to not even get into stuff like Zero Dark Thirty .
But what is more pernicious is how , in turn , all public narratives have taken on the quality of a Hollywood movie .
And today this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdowns are being depicted .
Watch the opening episodes of any of the Dick Wolf TV franchises this new season : Chicago Med , FBI : Most Wanted , etc.
, and you see blatant unquestioning support for the government narrative ( FBI agent advises daughter to not leave the house without her mask ) .
This exactly meets the definition of propaganda .
Dissenting views are completely absent .
In Chicago Med the pandemic is depicted as if it were bubonic plague .
Public discourse on the pandemic reflects TV ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ portrayed as dangerous and unpatriotic .
The looming question is , then , why do so many people attack dissenters when they know ( because the information has been around and available for thirty years ) the government ( and Hollywood ) lie…they lie all the time .
In fact they ONLY lie .
Now , recent polls suggest that half of Americans reject the idea of more lockdowns .
That ’ s a lot of people .
Yet very few of those people speak up , or post opinions on social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There is an enormous fear of being called ‘ conspiracy theorist ’ or ‘ anti vaxxer ’ or ‘ Covid truther ’ etc .
There is a tacit assault on the truth itself embedded in this stigmatizing .
A pathologization of the search for truth .
And this seems something that has arisen out of the culture of social media .
One understands that if the law says wear a mask or be fined , then people will wear the mask .
But there is no law ( yet ) in expressing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mob mentality has , predictably , attracted the most virulent xenophobic and racist memes and opinions possible .
Of course major social media platforms like twitter and facebook are perilously close to outright censorship now .
One is labeled dangerous if one questions the narrative on the pandemic .
Simply pointing out that the fatality rate is extremely low despite all the lurid headlines is cause for censorship on facebook .
Stating facts has become , quite literally , dangerous .
But there is another layer involved in the shaping of opinion .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ this as the shaping of consciousness itself .
And this is because its really not just opinion , its something both more expansive and much deeper .
One aspect is the now glaring infantilizing of the public ( an interesting sidebar ) .
And one aspect of this childishness is the aforementioned compartmentalization .
Many of these people attacking dissenters well know the government lies .
Ask them about WMDs or Yellow Cake in Niger , or mobile chemical weapons labs , or even the guns to Contras and US death trained death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were lied to .
And yet they desperately cling to official narrative regards Covid .
The public has little interest in the Pentagon Papers , of John Podesta ’ s leaked emails , or in why Gary Webb was murdered .
The official narratives regarding the break-up of Yugoslavia , or the coup in Honduras , or the killing of Qadaffi — the official narratives to any of these have been debunked years ago , and yet the lies persist and continue to shape opinion .
When the U.S. helped with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was on the front page of most news outlets .
When the socialist party was re-elected the story was seen , literally , nowhere .
Most people think the coup was a popular victory for the people of Bolivia .
Same with Hugo Chavez and the narrative in Venezuela .
( see the debunking of liberal icon John Oliver here ) .
Now , two things to note here .
One is that much of the pandemic suspension of rights was possible because of the Patriot Act .
And two , the rabid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US educational institutions has left a residue that clings with particular tenacity to the white liberal class .
The most ardent virtue signalling is found among the affluent liberals of urban America .
And these are people with great visibility and are also the target demographic for advertisers .
The government has simply abandoned the idea of referendum , or really , it was never considered ( which Neil Clark wrote about here . )
The same hostility to free speech is found in regards to actual democracy .
Now , this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t think , but like the lockdown polls my guess would be about half .
So who makes up this half of the US that is hostile to stuff like free speech or democratic procedures ?
Again , my guess is the educated white liberal class .
These are the people who exhibited an outsize hatred of Trump to the extent that anything he said was going to be opposed and this includes the pandemic .
These are the people who beatified Ruth Bader Ginsburg .
Who refuse any criticism of Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were against the Donald .
Why ?
I have no real answers except that in the age of screen culture the waves of opinion form quickly and migrate often and rarely can be rationally explained .
Something in cyber culture ( more acute due to the lockdowns ) encourages simplistic narratives of good and evil .
And in times of acute precarity there seems a default setting of ‘ trust ’ regarding state institutions .
This also all falls under infantilism .
There are psychological aspects to this beyond just the inherent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a subject that does not lend itself to simplistic discourse .
Because there is no single Fuhrer figure in contemporary America , this libidinal attachment is diffused over a variety of figures .
Why , for example , is Dr. Fauci so respected ?
Nothing in his dodgy career history explains this .
Why are the countless dissenting doctors and respected researchers ignored ?
The only answer I have is that visibility on the screens of mass media amounts to a kind of Fuhrer stature .
Like Max Headroom Fuhrers .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ( Godard may have said that ) and that is what TV and its extension to laptop and tablet screens achieves .
The public is in thrall to figures of authority , even if entirely artificial .
Or , rather , they are in thrall to ‘ their ’ screen images .
The ones they identify with and feel they own .
Politics is expressed much as shopping is expressed .
The identification in the political sphere ( and with history ) is identical to how this public identifies with Hollywood ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ observation of Adorno ’ s .
The bad faith that resonates throughout the U.S. public discourse is an engine for resentment and rage .
And everything has come to feel like a fiction .
There is also a strange merging of several tributaries of social movements .
One is the Green New Deal ( and just read Cory Morningstar on this ) and another is the Covid19 pandemic , and the lockdowns , and then the Klaus Schwab ( and Bill Gates and friends ) so-called “ Great Reset ” .
These are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off ( on screens ) as social reform .
Now , the same can be said of Black Lives Matter but to a far less degree because that movement is far less unified .
And Defunding the Police even more so , and this because much of that is driven by the formerly incarcerated .
But the principle remains .
The Covid phenomenon , however , stands apart as the most drastic and grotesque manufacturing of crisis perhaps ever .
Maybe in human history , actually .
There is no crisis .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for infection .
And now much state policy is attached to positive test results for a test nobody ( even the manufacturers ) really trusts .
So who is driving this hysteria ?
Almost nobody can argue the lockdowns will cause more death , and more suffering .
Already there are acute spikes in suicide , and drug overdose , as well as domestic abuse and depression and homelessness .
The answer to who constitutes the engine behind this hysteria is likely the same people , by and large , who are driving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Or rather , to control the demolition of capitalism and the transition into a new feudalism .
Van Worden ’ s critique is actually about Slavoj Zizek , and it is worth noting the malevolent influence of ersatz Marxists like Zizek ( and Jacobin magazine and Bhaskar Sunkara , and these days even Counterpunch , sadly , and Chris Hedges , and many crypto LaRouchites , etc . )
who are all now actively aligned with US Imperialist interests .
And all of whom have embraced a faux green ‘ woke ’ subject @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obscuring of genuine class analysis .
For the real barometer for genuine opposition has become the ‘ drama of the mask ’ .
Where only recently it was the thermometer , the 1 degree or 2 degrees or whatever , that anchored most climate discourse , today there is the mask .
There is ‘ herd immunity ’ ( called mass murder by the folks at Counterpunch ) .
There is the same guilt-tripping , the same virtue signalling , and the same bad faith .
And the bad faith is palpable , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victims of the pandemic , one can hear the echoes of the same concern many expressed for the victims of child abuse during the recovered memories trials , or of late , too , the overpopulation proponents — like Prince William and Bill Gates .
They do not care about victims , they care about saving themselves — but that can only reach their conscious mind by first saving capitalism .
The current bad faith can also be linked to the collapse of the USSR .
The emotional and psychic vacuum , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the fall of Soviet communism , was ( and is ) enormous .
And out of this vacuum came the front edges of the new woke fascism .
And the style coordinates for concern invariably enclose rank sentimentalism .
For as James Baldwin noted sentimentality is the ‘ mask of cruelty ’ .
This public bathos has multiplied across all areas of discussion , and it points back to just how harmful the erosion of education has been , and maybe in particular the loss of arts education .
For the American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deficient in aesthetic understanding .
They have gone from bad taste to no taste .
Not that long ago , Hollywood was still capable of making meaningful movies .
The shift began in the late 70s .
And it escalated profoundly in the 90s under Bill Clinton .
For the Clintons saw the importance of Hollywood .
A huge number of former Clinton interns are now Hollywood producers .
( interesting aside , Clinton screened the 1998 Ed Zwick film The Siege in the White House — a story of terrorists attacking NYC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however , there are fewer people actually going to the cinema .
People watch at home , on laptops and stream from a myriad of platforms .
This is the Netflix era .
Something else has changed , too .
Hollywood has actually stopped being a source of entertainment .
I mean it “ is ” still that , but it is more a sort of religious domain and something like a companion .
This is an atomized and lonely society .
Electronic devices are left on in many homes 24/7 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ daily life .
There are TVs in most restaurants now .
There are TVs in doctor ’ s offices and in all manner of waiting rooms .
I saw wide screen monitors at the unemployment office .
I saw them at the DMV .
Life is chronicled on screens , and I suspect Jonathan Beller is right that our unconscious is now a film strip .
The new woke fascism is , however , much like all fascist movements .
I sense too much is made of the technological revolution ( sic ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revolution are besotted by AI and the fantasies of mass surveillance and facial recognition and the like .
The truth is of course , it doesn ’ t really have to work , people only have to believe it does .
But technology is now a form of mystification .
The woke fascism is , like earlier forms , attached to ideas of not just obedience , but duty to obey .
And in this sense Americans have always been prime targets for fascism .
They see life as a struggle and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state is camouflaged to a degree , the state has as a stand-in varieties of environmental constructs ( Gaia , etc ) .
The overpopulation eugenicists constantly reiterate their love of nature , of the “ planet ” .
But this is a planet for ‘ them ’ , not for you .
And the fascist system is always , to a large extent , petit-bourgeois .
So , into this Hollywood has increasingly created stories of technological heroism , and of duty to the authority of those who create and operate that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ middle class ( Spielberg is the avatar for suburban heroic ) As I have written before , Terminator 2 was the story of androids as better parents than humans .
And it is Trump who is , maybe , the ultimate expression of this decline into ‘ no taste ’ .
Trump can ’ t be understood .
He speaks in gibberish .
Biden is only very slightly better in terms of speaking English .
His clear early-stage dementia is maybe the perfect soundtrack for the Covid experiment .
And yet , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) as if an exorcism has been completed and the Virgin Spring is born .
And lest anyone have doubts about the underlying agenda ( s ) of the Covid lockdowns , and in particular Bill Gates…read Jacob Levich Here are just a few of Gates ’ suggestions ( found in his op-ed in the NY Times , and one in the New England Journal of Medicine ) which I take from the Levich article : The drama of the mask is one of transitioning into full tilt fascism .
And instead of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and blue and rainbow ) masks .
But there are already police in most European countries , and in the U.S. ( in places ) enforcing lockdown restrictions and punishing those who literally and figuratively refuse the mask .
Businesses are aligned with their new duty to the state .
To the system .
Those businesses that are still open , that is .
Homelessness is reaching proportions never even dreamed of even by dystopian Sci Fi writers .
And with this is coming a new criminalizing of poverty .
The poor were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those who do the resenting are feeling emboldened by a new religious fervor .
And the empire of screens is there to validate that fervor .
A patriotic fevror for some , a new woke ‘ concern ’ for others .
Put on the mask because you CARE about people .
And nothing is too severe for those who refuse .
There is an overwhelming self righteousness in American society today .
The next stage will be mandatory vaccination .
And with that we will have arrived at an existence of pure symbolism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fascist Kabuki , a political drama of stylized symbolic gestures and mime , all performed behind a mask .

John Steppling
“There is no question that most television is a waste of time. The people connected with it realize how bad programming is and go ahead with their shows as cynically as possible. Producers are turning out programs that literally make me sick. TV seems to re-infect itself each year, using the same approach to shows and making them worse each season.”
Richard Boone (Hanford Sentinel, 1960)
“…the intelligence empire’s efforts to manufacture the truth and mold public opinion are more vast and varied than ever before. One of its foremost assets? Hollywood.”

Giant media conglomerates are in a sense hardly distinguishable from the CIA and Pentagon and State Department. Which is rather close to the classic definition of fascism.
The esteemed former University of Southern California law professor Erwin Chemerinsky agrees. In OperationHollywood, Chemerinsky asserts that “the Supreme Court has said that above all, the First Amendment means that the government cannot participate in viewpoint discrimination.” It “cannot favor some speech due to its viewpoint and disfavor another because of its viewpoint.” Moreover, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in his 1995 decision Rosenbergerv.The University of Virginia that the government must abstain from “regulating speech when the specific motivating ideology or the opinion or perspective of the speaker is the rationale for the restriction.”
Tricia Jenkins – The CIA in Hollywood
And yet this is what happens constantly.
…they have become very good at persuading the public that a good movie is the one that opened strongest last weekend, even if the critics hated it. The media helps them do it, by reporting on box office figures without discussing the ways that those figures are manipulated. The media are part of the gravy train anyway, because of the ad campaign revenue.”
Paul Brynes (Sydney Herald, 2014)

Sissela Bok – Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life
The public has little interest in the Pentagon Papers, of John Podesta’s leaked emails, or in why Gary Webb was murdered. The official narratives regarding the break-up of Yugoslavia, or the coup in Honduras, or the killing of Qadaffi — the official narratives to any of these have been debunked years ago, and yet the lies persist and continue to shape opinion.
When the U.S. helped with the fascist coup in Bolivia, the story was on the front page of most news outlets. When the socialist party was re-elected the story was seen, literally, nowhere.

The most ardent virtue signalling is found among the affluent liberals of urban America. And these are people with great visibility and are also the target demographic for advertisers.
The clumsily-titled Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act, or USAPA) introduced a plethora of legislative changes which significantly increased the surveillance and investigative powers of law enforcement agencies in the United States. The Act did not, however, provide for the system of checks and balances that traditionally safeguards civil liberties in the face of such legislation. Legislative proposals in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were introduced less than a week after the attacks. […] One of the most striking features of the USA PATRIOT Act is the lack of debate surrounding its introduction.”
Epic.Org, Electronic Information Privacy Center
There isn’t even the spirit any more that was in Vietnam, of skepticism, and the sense that the patriotic thing to do is to tell the American people the truth and to try to be impartial and not to be the cat’s paw of the government. But when I say this on TV the reaction is overwhelming; there is tremendous hostility to the free press in this country.”
John MacArthur (Harpers, Censorship and the War on Terrorism)
The government has simply abandoned the idea of referendum, or really, it was never considered (which Neil Clark wrote about here.)
The same hostility to free speech is found in regards to actual democracy. Now, this is not a majority opinion, I don’t think, but like the lockdown polls my guess would be about half. So who makes up this half of the US that is hostile to stuff like free speech or democratic procedures? Again, my guess is the educated white liberal class.
These are the people who exhibited an outsize hatred of Trump to the extent that anything he said was going to be opposed and this includes the pandemic.

Something in cyber culture (more acute due to the lockdowns) encourages simplistic narratives of good and evil.

There are psychological aspects to this beyond just the inherent influence of screen culture. And this is a subject that does not lend itself to simplistic discourse.
We see that the object is being treated in the same way as our own ego, so that when we are in love a considerable amount of narcissistic libido overflows on the object. It is even obvious, in many forms of love choice, that the object serves as a substitute for some unattained ego ideal of our own. We love it on account of the perfections which we have striven to reach for our own ego, and which we should now like to procure in this roundabout way as a means of satisfying our narcissism.”
Sigmund Freud – Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego
Because there is no single Fuhrer figure in contemporary America, this libidinal attachment is diffused over a variety of figures. Why, for example, is Dr. Fauci so respected? Nothing in his dodgy career history explains this. Why are the countless dissenting doctors and respected researchers ignored? The only answer I have is that visibility on the screens of mass media amounts to a kind of Fuhrer stature. Like Max Headroom Fuhrers.
There is an inherent authority in the close-up, (Godard may have said that) and that is what TV and its extension to laptop and tablet screens achieves. The public is in thrall to figures of authority, even if entirely artificial. Or, rather, they are in thrall to ‘their’ screen images. The ones they identify with and feel they own. Politics is expressed much as shopping is expressed. The identification in the political sphere (and with history) is identical to how this public identifies with Hollywood’s protagonists.
Just as people do not believe deep down in their hearts that Jews are the devil, they do not fully believe in the leader. They do not really identify with him but act on this identification, represent their own enthusiasm, and thus participate in the leader’s performance. It is through this representation that they find a balance between their instinctual urges continually mobilized and the historical stage of enlightenment which they have attained and which can not be arbitrarily revoked. It is probably the distrust of the fiction of his own ‘group psychology’ that makes the fascist masses so merciless and unshakable.”
Theodor Adorno – Freudian Theory and the Pattern of Fascist Propaganda
This is an important observation of Adorno’s. The bad faith that resonates throughout the U.S. public discourse is an engine for resentment and rage. And everything has come to feel like a fiction. There is also a strange merging of several tributaries of social movements. One is the Green New Deal (and just read Cory Morningstar on this) and another is the Covid19 pandemic, and the lockdowns, and then the Klaus Schwab (and Bill Gates and friends) so-called “Great Reset”.
These are the privatised corporate movements that are passed off (on screens) as social reform. Now, the same can be said of Black Lives Matter but to a far less degree because that movement is far less unified. And Defunding the Police even more so, and this because much of that is driven by the formerly incarcerated. But the principle remains.
The Covid phenomenon, however, stands apart as the most drastic and grotesque manufacturing of crisis perhaps ever. Maybe in human history, actually. There is no crisis. The flu has similar numbers for fatalities and for infection. And now much state policy is attached to positive test results for a test nobody (even the manufacturers) really trusts. So who is driving this hysteria?
Almost nobody can argue the lockdowns will cause more death, and more suffering. Already there are acute spikes in suicide, and drug overdose, as well as domestic abuse and depression and homelessness. The answer to who constitutes the engine behind this hysteria is likely the same people, by and large, who are driving the above-mentioned attempts to rescue Capitalism.
Or rather, to control the demolition of capitalism and the transition into a new feudalism.
World systems theorists like Wallerstein and Amin had been since the destruction of the USSR chronicling an unprecedented ruling class offensive to push forward a transformation out of an obsolescent form of competitive capitalism to the next shape of class rule; popular dissident economists and social theorists like Robin Blackburn, Michael Hudson, Naomi Klein, and Robert Brenner had simultaneously been tracking the increasing precariousness of the financialized post-Bretton Woods arrangements. Indeed Klein had recently published an enormous bestseller The Shock Doctrine which, for all its many flaws, provided a neologism for ruling class praxis that vividly conveyed its premeditated malice, violence and cunning, and which was well suited to advance conversations across social strata and diverse communities about the events unfolding in 2008. – Alponse van Worden – The Protocols of the Learned Lacanian of Ljublitzia
Van Worden’s critique is actually about Slavoj Zizek, and it is worth noting the malevolent influence of ersatz Marxists like Zizek (and Jacobin magazine and Bhaskar Sunkara, and these days even Counterpunch, sadly, and Chris Hedges, and many crypto LaRouchites, etc.) who are all now actively aligned with US Imperialist interests. And all of whom have embraced a faux green ‘woke’ subject position that is merely more mystification and obscuring of genuine class analysis.
For the real barometer for genuine opposition has become the ‘drama of the mask’. Where only recently it was the thermometer, the 1 degree or 2 degrees or whatever, that anchored most climate discourse, today there is the mask. There is ‘herd immunity’ (called mass murder by the folks at Counterpunch). There is the same guilt-tripping, the same virtue signalling, and the same bad faith.
And the bad faith is palpable, for when expressing ‘concern’ for victims of the pandemic, one can hear the echoes of the same concern many expressed for the victims of child abuse during the recovered memories trials, or of late, too, the overpopulation proponents — like Prince William and Bill Gates. They do not care about victims, they care about saving themselves — but that can only reach their conscious mind by first saving capitalism.
The current bad faith can also be linked to the collapse of the USSR. The emotional and psychic vacuum, even if largely unconscious for many, left by the fall of Soviet communism, was (and is) enormous. And out of this vacuum came the front edges of the new woke fascism.
Today, social conditions have produced uncritical acceptance of authority among large parts of the population. Among others, even those one might expect to criticise the status quo, we see only despair. The upsurge in interest in deterministic utopian or pessimistic thinking, influenced by the rapid technological change speaks volumes about the powerlessness felt even by those least susceptible to fascist propaganda.”
Max L. Feldman (Seductive Fascist Style, Verso blog)
And the style coordinates for concern invariably enclose rank sentimentalism. For as James Baldwin noted sentimentality is the ‘mask of cruelty’. This public bathos has multiplied across all areas of discussion, and it points back to just how harmful the erosion of education has been, and maybe in particular the loss of arts education.
For the American public today is both tone-deaf and stunningly deficient in aesthetic understanding. They have gone from bad taste to no taste.
Not that long ago, Hollywood was still capable of making meaningful movies.
Based on what little reliable information has been published about the CIA and Hollywood, the agency’s covert manipulation of the entertainment industry appears to have markedly decreased during the next two decades. In the 1970s, following the Watergate scandal and shocking congressional revelations about the CIA, a Hollywood backlash against the spy agency even took shape. A series of anti-authority thrillers, including classic conspiracy films like Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation and Alan Pakula’s The Parallax View (both released in 1974) and Sydney Pollack’s Three Days of the Condor (1975), depicted the national security state as a malevolent force, with Condor, starring Robert Redford as a CIA whistle-blower, taking specific aim at the agency as an institution capable of killing anyone who gets in its way, even its own agents. – Nicholas Schou – Spooked
The shift began in the late 70s. And it escalated profoundly in the 90s under Bill Clinton. For the Clintons saw the importance of Hollywood. A huge number of former Clinton interns are now Hollywood producers. (interesting aside, Clinton screened the 1998 Ed Zwick film The Siege in the White House — a story of terrorists attacking NYC leading to martial law).
Today, however, there are fewer people actually going to the cinema. People watch at home, on laptops and stream from a myriad of platforms. This is the Netflix era. Something else has changed, too. Hollywood has actually stopped being a source of entertainment. I mean it “is” still that, but it is more a sort of religious domain and something like a companion. This is an atomized and lonely society.
Electronic devices are left on in many homes 24/7. It is the background white noise of daily life. There are TVs in most restaurants now. There are TVs in doctor’s offices and in all manner of waiting rooms. I saw wide screen monitors at the unemployment office. I saw them at the DMV. Life is chronicled on screens, and I suspect Jonathan Beller is right that our unconscious is now a film strip.
The new woke fascism is, however, much like all fascist movements. I sense too much is made of the technological revolution (sic). Even critics of the fourth industrial revolution are besotted by AI and the fantasies of mass surveillance and facial recognition and the like. The truth is of course, it doesn’t really have to work, people only have to believe it does. But technology is now a form of mystification.
The woke fascism is, like earlier forms, attached to ideas of not just obedience, but duty to obey. And in this sense Americans have always been prime targets for fascism. They see life as a struggle and a conquest. Today the duty to the state is camouflaged to a degree, the state has as a stand-in varieties of environmental constructs (Gaia, etc). The overpopulation eugenicists constantly reiterate their love of nature, of the “planet”. But this is a planet for ‘them’, not for you. And the fascist system is always, to a large extent, petit-bourgeois.
So, into this Hollywood has increasingly created stories of technological heroism, and of duty to the authority of those who create and operate that technology. And to valorize the white middle class (Spielberg is the avatar for suburban heroic) As I have written before, Terminator 2 was the story of androids as better parents than humans.
What I am trying to point out is that the CIA is trying to circulate whitewashed images of itself through popular media. Further, it is trying to weave those images into the fabric of society in such a way that viewers see them as a “natural” reflection of the Agency, rather than one that is partially constructed and manipulated by the government.”
Tricia Jenkins (ibid)
And it is Trump who is, maybe, the ultimate expression of this decline into ‘no taste’. Trump can’t be understood. He speaks in gibberish. Biden is only very slightly better in terms of speaking English. His clear early-stage dementia is maybe the perfect soundtrack for the Covid experiment. And yet, the petit-bourgeoisie applaud him (and Kamala Harris) as if an exorcism has been completed and the Virgin Spring is born.
And lest anyone have doubts about the underlying agenda(s) of the Covid lockdowns, and in particular Bill Gates…read Jacob Levich Here are just a few of Gates’ suggestions (found in his op-ed in the NY Times, and one in the New England Journal of Medicine) which I take from the Levich article:
Work closely with Western military forces, specifically NATO, in operations targeting the developing world. [Planning] should include military alliances such as NATO…in a severe epidemic, the military forces of many or all middle- and high-income countries might have to work together.”
Suspend constitutional guarantees in sovereign nations affected by epidemics. (“Because democratic countries try to avoid abridging individuals’ rights to travel and free assembly, they might be too slow to restrict activities that help spread disease.”)”
Create worldwide surveillance networks, presumably free of privacy protections, that would make information about people in developing countries instantly available to the imperial core. (“Access to satellite photography and cell-phone data” would permit tracking “the movement of populations and individuals in the affected region.”)”
The drama of the mask is one of transitioning into full tilt fascism. And instead of black shirts, we have black (and blue and rainbow) masks. But there are already police in most European countries, and in the U.S. (in places) enforcing lockdown restrictions and punishing those who literally and figuratively refuse the mask. Businesses are aligned with their new duty to the state. To the system. Those businesses that are still open, that is.
Homelessness is reaching proportions never even dreamed of even by dystopian Sci Fi writers. And with this is coming a new criminalizing of poverty. The poor were always resented in America, but now those who do the resenting are feeling emboldened by a new religious fervor. And the empire of screens is there to validate that fervor. A patriotic fevror for some, a new woke ‘concern’ for others.
Put on the mask because you CARE about people. And nothing is too severe for those who refuse. There is an overwhelming self righteousness in American society today. The next stage will be mandatory vaccination. And with that we will have arrived at an existence of pure symbolism, disconnected from reality.
It is fascist Kabuki, a political drama of stylized symbolic gestures and mime, all performed behind a mask.


offguardian--2020-12-02--5 Burning Questions About the New Covid Vaccine

The United Kingdom government has today announced its approval of the first Covid19 vaccine for general use .
800,000 doses are slated to be released for general use by the end of the week , and has already signed a contract for 40 million more doses ( to go along with over 300 million doses of as-yet-unreleased vaccines from other companies ) .
With the newest phase in the Covid19 roll-out set to begin , it ’ s time we addressed the five biggest questions about this vaccine , its effectiveness , its safety and whether or not we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clearly , the company claims it does , and the UK government seems to believe them .

To explain where this “ 95 % effective ” claim actually comes from : The Pfizer vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ getting their vaccine , half getting a placebo .
In total , from the 44,000 people , 170 were later recorded as having become ‘ infected with Covid19 ’ .
162 of them were in the placebo group , 8 of them in the vaccine group .
The vaccine is therefore credited with preventing 154 cases of Covid19…or 95 % .
You don ’ t need to be a medical researcher or virologist to see how potentially flawed this reasoning is .
The entire trial of 44,000 people is deemed a success based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than 4 % of those involved .
The details of the trial are hard to come by , so we have yet to find out how these 170 people were even diagnosed with “ Covid19 ” .
Was it a clinical diagnosis based on symptoms ?
Or PCR test ?
Either method would raise serious questions about accuracy .
In short , the answer to “ Does it work ?

The technology has been in development for years , but this would be the first mRNA vaccine actually put to use .
So , again , the short answer to “ is it safe ?

So , even if not forced to partake of the vaccine , you will likely be bribed , blackmailed or coerced into doing so eventually .
To sum up – we don ’ t know exactly what ’ s in the vaccine , it might not work , it may not be safe , and we ’ re probably all going to end up being forced to use it .

The United Kingdom government has today announced its approval of the first Covid19 vaccine for general use. 800,000 doses are slated to be released for general use by the end of the week, and has already signed a contract for 40 million more doses (to go along with over 300 million doses of as-yet-unreleased vaccines from other companies).
With the newest phase in the Covid19 roll-out set to begin, it’s time we addressed the five biggest questions about this vaccine, its effectiveness, its safety and whether or not we’ll be forced to use it.
1. Does it work?
Clearly, the company claims it does, and the UK government seems to believe them. The Guardian, in their coverage of the vaccine, claim it has a 95% efficacy rating, but does not provide a source for this or any kind of data at all.
Fortunately, better journalists and researchers are writing for the British Medical Journal, including this piece from Peter Doshi just last week.
To explain where this “95% effective” claim actually comes from:
The Pfizer vaccine trial included nearly 44,000 people. Half getting their vaccine, half getting a placebo. In total, from the 44,000 people, 170 were later recorded as having become ‘infected with Covid19’. 162 of them were in the placebo group, 8 of them in the vaccine group.
The vaccine is therefore credited with preventing 154 cases of Covid19…or 95%.
You don’t need to be a medical researcher or virologist to see how potentially flawed this reasoning is. The entire trial of 44,000 people is deemed a success based on the potentially multi-variant outcome from less than 0.4% of those involved.
The details of the trial are hard to come by, so we have yet to find out how these 170 people were even diagnosed with “Covid19”. Was it a clinical diagnosis based on symptoms? Or PCR test? Either method would raise serious questions about accuracy.
In short, the answer to “Does it work?” is “we have no idea.”
2. Is it safe?
Potentially more important than the question of efficacy is the question of safety. No one, not even the vaccines most ardent defenders, is denying that this vaccine process has been rushed – vaccines typically take years and years to produce, whereas this one has been hurried on to the market in less than nine months. Some of them have skipped important stages in testing altogether.
Even supposing the short term trials have not shown any side effects, there has simply been no time to do long-term outcome studies. The potential for complications, months or years down the line, certainly exists.
Further, the vaccine is based on new technology – an mRNA vaccine, which injects viral genetic material to generate an immune response. The technology has been in development for years, but this would be the first mRNA vaccine actually put to use.
So, again, the short answer to “is it safe?” is “we don’t know”.
However, the vaccine pushers and manufacturers clearly have doubts about its safety, since they have gone out of their way guarantee they have total legal indemnity from prosecution or civil suits should something go wrong. Not a confidence booster that.
Ask yourself: if Ford or BMW were releasing a new type of car based on “cutting edge technology”, but before you buy one you have to sign a waiver saying you can’t sue the car manufacturers in the event you explode in a fiery ball of death…would you drive that car?
3. What’s in it?
This is a simple one. We don’t know, they won’t say. At least not in anything but the vaguest terms.
4. Who will get it?
First on the docket are the elderly and NHS workers. We don’t know who will be excluded. Immunocompromised people were excluded from the efficacy study, so presumably, they’ll also be excluded from taking the vaccine. If not, that’s a potential disaster waiting to happen (although they have legal protection, so I guess that doesn’t matter).
The British military are already busily setting up “mass vaccination centres”. So eventually, of course, almost everyone will be expected to get injected if they want to partake of society in any way at all. Which leads us onto question five…
5. Will it become mandatory?
The question of “mandatory vaccines” has been buzzing around since the earliest stages of the pandemic narrative. The final result will obviously vary country-to-country, but it’s certainly a possibility here in the UK.
A few months ago a group of scholars submitted written evidence to the UK Parliament that mandatory vaccinations would be defensible on a human rights basis, and that there was already legal precedent for this action in UK legislation (specifically, treating mental health patients who may be a danger to themselves).
In the end, and this is purely my speculation, I doubt the vaccine will ever be literally legally mandatory. Parliament will reject the “expert advice” suggesting Covid19 vaccines be forced on people.
This will accomplish two goals at once: a) It will give the government a veneer of “libertarianism”, a thin facade to cover it’s tyrannical nature. And b) It will allow a potential “third wave” of Covid19 to be blamed on “vaccine hesitancy”.
Though it will probably never be literally mandatory, they will certainly make it much easier to function should you get the vaccine.
There’s been much talk of “immunity passports”, meaning digital documents showing your vaccination status which make you exempt from lockdown and social distancing rules.
In the future it’s not hard to see these documents (either physical or digital) being vital to the ability work, socialise, travel, get loans, apply for state benefits or even receive medical treatment.
So, even if not forced to partake of the vaccine, you will likely be bribed, blackmailed or coerced into doing so eventually.

To sum up – we don’t know exactly what’s in the vaccine, it might not work, it may not be safe, and we’re probably all going to end up being forced to use it.
Merry Christmas everyone.
