Pepe Escobar quoting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. #conspiracy #moonbat asiatimes.com

Fauci as Darth Vader of the Covid wars

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health should be front-page news in all the news media in the US.

RFK Jr. sets out to deconstruct New Normal, encroaching upon us since early 2020. In my book Raging Twenties I have termed this techno-feudalism. Kennedy describes it as “rising totalitarianism,” complete with “mass propaganda and censorship, the orchestrated promotion of terror, the manipulation of science, the suppression of debate, the vilification of dissent and use of force to prevent protest.”

Focusing on Dr Anthony Fauci as the fulcrum of the biggest story of the 21st century allows RFK Jr to paint a complex canvas of planned militarization and, especially, monetization of medicine, a toxic process managed by Big Pharma, Big Tech and the military/intel complex – and dutifully promoted by mainstream media.

By now everyone knows that the big winners have been Big Finance, Big Pharma, Big Tech and Big Data, with a special niche for Silicon Valley behemoths.

The book’s Chapter 12, “Germ Games,” may arguably be its most explosive, as it focuses on the US bioweapons and biosecurity apparatus, with a special mention of Robert Kadlec. The book argues that Kadlec, closely linked to spy agencies, Big Pharma and the Pentagon is also linked to Fauci investments in “gain of function” experiments capable of engineering pandemic superbugs.

By 2018, bioweapons expert Peter Daszak was enthroned as the key connector through whom grants were moved to fund gain-of-function research, including at the Wuhan Institute of Virology Biosafety Lab.

These are only a few of the insights woven through the book. The whole lot should be available for popular scrutiny worldwide. These matters concern the whole planet, especially the Global South.

Nobel laureate Luc Montaigner has noted how, “tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Fauci and his minions.”

Pepe Escobar & Vladimir Putin #homophobia #racist #transphobia #wingnut asiatimes.com

The world according to Vladimir Putin

Russian president, in Sochi, lays down the law in favor of conservatism – says the woke West is in decline

The plenary session is the traditional highlight of the annual, must-follow Valdai Club discussions – one of Eurasia’s premier intellectual gatherings.

Vladimir Putin is a frequent keynote speaker. In Sochi this year, as I related in a previous column, the overarching theme was “global shake-up in the 21st century: the individual, values and the state.”

The re-alignment of the balance of power presupposes a redistribution of shares in favor of rising and developing countries that until now felt left out. To put it bluntly, the Western domination of international affairs, which began several centuries ago and, for a short period, was almost absolute in the late 20th century, is giving way to a much more diverse system.

Putin made several references to freedom, to family – in his case, of modest means – and to the importance of education; he heartily praised his apprenticeship at Leningrad State University.

In parallel, he absolutely destroyed wokeism, transgenderism and cancel culture promoted “under the banner of progress.”

This is only one among a series of key passages:

We are surprised by the processes taking place in countries that used to see themselves as pioneers of progress. The social and cultural upheavals taking place in the United States and Western Europe are, of course, none of our business; we don’t interfere with them. Someone in the Western countries is convinced that the aggressive erasure of whole pages of their own history – the “reverse discrimination” of the majority in favor of minorities, or the demand to abandon the usual understanding of such basic things as mother, father, family or even the difference between the sexes – that these are, in their opinion, milestones of the movement toward social renewal.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan back with a bang

The US 'loss' is a repositioning. Pentagon’s top mission is not the “war on terror”, but to try to isolate Russia and harass China by all means on the expansion of the New Silk Roads.

In the end, the Saigon moment happened faster than any Western “expert” expected.

That led the US and NATO to literally beg the Taliban to let them evacuate everything in sight from Kabul.

Ghani’s hasty escape is the stuff of “a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing”. Ghani, an anthropologist with a doctorate from Columbia, is one of those classic cases of Global South exiles to the West who “forget” everything that matters about their original lands.

Ghani is a Pashtun who acted like an arrogant New Yorker.

Geopolitically, what matters now is how the Taliban have written a whole new script, showing the lands of Islam, as well as the Global South, how to defeat the self-referential, seemingly invincible US/NATO empire.

After Vietnam, this is the second Global South protagonist showing the whole world how an empire can be defeated by a peasant guerrilla army.

There is allegedly no mass hysteria in the capital: that’s been the exclusive domain of Anglo-American mainstream media. The Russian and Chinese embassies remain open for business. Zamir Kabulov, the Kremlin special representative for Afghanistan, has confirmed that the situation in Kabul is, “absolutely calm.”

Every serious analyst knows that the purpose of the occupation of Afghanistan was to establish a foothold in the strategic intersection of Central and South Asia.

Occupying smaller nations has ceased to be a priority. The Empire of Chaos can always foment chaos from its CENTCOM base in Qatar.

Yet every American plotline needs a fall guy. NATO has just been cosmically humiliated in the graveyard of empires by a bunch of goat herders. What’s left? Propaganda.

So meet the New Axis of Evil. Taliban-Pakistan-China. The New Great Game in Eurasia has just been reloaded.

Nikola Tesla and Chinese cosmology

Einstein’s theory resists integration with the standard atomic model and the development of a unified model. Nikola Tesla, the maverick scientist who disagreed with the basic assumptions of quantum theory, developed an aether-based theory of the cosmos and came remarkably close to the Chinese view of nature.

“I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties,” he said.

Surprisingly, Einstein was sympathetic to Tesla’s argument. He pointed out that Relativity doesn’t require the aether, but doesn’t exclude its possible existence.

Today, hardly any quantum physicist accepts the possible existence of the aether and asserts that Einstein was wrong.

In the past 100 years, physicists have proposed a slew of new theories that build on Einstein’s relativity and quantum theory. Using mathematical extrapolations, they have proposed wormholes, dark matter, black holes, string theory, and other mathematical abstractions that take them ever further away from experiential knowledge.

Recent advances in neurophysiology have fueled an interest in consciousness in recent decades and have brought science and the humanities a bit closer. The idea that the universe itself is conscious resonates with both scientists and the general public. More likely is that the universe created the conditions that made the development of consciousness possible.

Either way, Tesla’s aether theory offers a better framework to explore these and other existential questions than conventional theoretical quantum mechanics. Tesla had a human-centric vision of science.

Re: Chinese migrants spark a backlash in the Philippines

Pinoys are stupid people. They got screwed by the whites for centuries and yet still hold them with high regard. Really a sado masochistic lot. Their women gets sexually exploited and they love it. What a trash people.

And i have many problems with filipino maids over here. They are worse than indonesians yet demand higher pay and more off days.

If these filipino workers are any good, why are they unemployed, yet the Chinese can get jobs? The clear answer is, the pinoys are useless.

Dissent over Citizenship Bill causes havoc

The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) 2016, which was passed in the lower house of the Indian Parliament on January 8, has run into troubled waters. The communal nature of the bill leaves out Muslim communities from its humanitarian pursuit of providing sanctuary and also restricts itself to three countries – Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

The bill seeks to grant citizenship to Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Christian, Parsi and Jain migrants from those three countries even if they do not possess the necessary documents but have stayed in India for six years. This has led to strong reactions from groups in India’s Northeast.

The bill, particularly in the northeastern states, has received tremendous opposition, but not entirely for the right reasons. Strong sentiments against “foreigners” or “Bangladeshis” have been expressed, as protests against the bill have been widely covered and reported in both national and regional media.

In one demonstration held in Aizawl, capital of Mizoram state, on January 23, the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP), the largest student body of the Mizos, in a four-point resolution stated that “to safeguard [our] land against foreigners, we the Mizos will fight till our last breath.” They further stated that “the government is favoring the foreigners over its own people living in the Northeast.”

Dissent for wrong reasons

Unfortunately, the dissent regarding the bill is not against the religious aspects and its communal nature, nor is it for including specific nations. In fact, the dissent expressed in the Northeast region is mostly driven by regional and identity politics, and more so in Mizoram.

Northeast India shares a border with Bangladesh, a fact that is mobilized by a certain class or people in power to scare the general public and turn that fear into a mass protest.

In the state of Mizoram, people took to the streets led by powerful non-government organizations in turn led by the MZP and Central Young Mizo Association (CYMA), among others, against the CAB.

The demonstrations, especially those with placards saying “Hello China, Bye Bye India,” caught the attention of national media.

The protesters even threatened the possibility of picking up arms against the Indian state. The news and incidents did not end with the slogans and protests, but extended to the level of forcibly preventing one Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer from attending the Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi on January 26.

Mizoram has no cases of people from Bangladesh seeking asylum or “illegal immigrants” taking shelter in the state. In fact, Mizoram is one of the three states in Northeast India that have Inner Line Permit (ILP) regulations in place. There are no possibilities of entering the state or finding employment without an ILP, or becoming ethnic Mizo at the stroke of entering Mizoram.

The Mizo history

The voice against the CAB is in fact an opportunity to mobilize, galvanize and campaign to express hate toward non-Mizos whether it be Chakma, Reang or even Indian citizens who share historical roots in Chin areas of Myanmar, although the latter are seen as part of their society now.

Indians with Chin ancestry have been beaten up in the streets of Aizawl repeatedly over the years, although now are accepted in the larger Mizo society.

The Asian Center for Human Rights (ACHR) notes that in 1992 about 380 Chakma houses were burned down by mobs organized by the MZP and Young Mizo Association (YMA) at Marpara, Hnahva and Aivapui villages in Mizoram.

Subsequently, thousands of Chakma voters were deleted from electoral rolls published in 1995 and 1996. The number stood at 2,886 Chakmas in Aizawl district alone. In 1997, facing the brunt of communal attacks orchestrated by the MZP and YMA, more than 30,000 Reangs or Brus fled from Mizoram to Tripura and Assam.

On January 23 with a demonstration against the bill in process, the Mizo groups also demanded dissolution of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC).

Media reports said MZP general secretary Lalnunmawia Pautu’s statement directly expressed anger against the Chakmas. He stated: “So many Chakmas are living illegally in
Mizoram. Everyone will get citizenship if the [Citizenship Amendment] Bill is passed.”

On the other hand, the Chakma organizations for long have challenged the Mizos against such allegations and accusations. They have presented data and literature to prove that the Chakmas’ illegal immigration from Bangladesh is a myth.

Dilip Kanti Chakma, a human-rights lawyer based in Delhi, said: “The allegations of Chakmas’ abnormal population growth are nothing but creation of myths against the Chakmas. Before India’s independence, the western part of Mizoram belonged to the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh, which was dominated by the Chakmas. [In the] aftermath of the partitions, just overnight Chakmas had to identify themselves with two nation-states, that is, India and the then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).”

He further explained: “The majority of the Chakmas had to remain with Pakistan despite their advocacy to be with the Indian state. The Chakma community being both in Bangladesh and India does not mean that they are illegally coming into the state of Mizoram. Such is nothing but xenophobic attitude by profiling and branding the Chakmas as foreigners or Bangladeshis.”

He even stated that while today it is the Chakmas raising their voices against the non-Mizos, tomorrow it could be Reang/Bru or even the helpless “Chins” who had to flee Myanmar because of their political situation and seek protection in the state of Mizoram.

Abuse of history

The demonstrations against the CAB also expose the abuse of history. As it is reported, the statement of the MZP general secretary further states that the bill is “extremely dangerous for the people of Mizoram and the Northeast” and warns against the repetition of violent secessionist movements like in the 1960s.

The fact is that the Mizo movement in the 1960s was for justice and equality when the Indian state neglected the suffering of the people due to poverty, famine, disease and deaths. It was not a secessionist movement.

The CAB has lit up xenophobic politics in Mizoram yet again and the minorities in the state are bearing its brunt.

Despite enjoying double protection in the form of the ILP and extremely strong civil-society and student-union bodies, the display of power is nothing but a spectacle to instill fear among the minorities in the state.
