State power operates only destructively, bent always on forcing every manifestation of life into the straitjacket of its laws. Its intellectual form of expression is dead dogma, its physical form brute force. The state can train subjects, but it can never develop free people who take their affairs into their own hands, for independent thought is the greatest danger that it has to fear.

The 18-year-old defendant Kyle Rittenhouse
was acquitted by a jury of his peers on all charges on Friday
afternoon. Rittenhouse, accused of various counts of murders stemming
from his shooting of three people at a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on
August 25, 2020, insisted that he acted in legitimate self defense. A
unanimous jury appeared to agree, and Rittenhouse is now a free man.
I
will have much more to say on this verdict and the reaction to it, but
immediately after the verdict was delivered, I went live on Rumble to
provide my views of why, after having watched the entire trial, I
believed this verdict was just, and why the media narrative was
particularly deceitful and morally repellent. The video is 45-minutes

Switzerland: The World’s Last Bastion of Democracy?
by Peter Koenig / November 19th, 2021
In a lively rally under full autumn sun, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
addressed a crowd of about 10 to 20 thousand people in Bern. He talked
about the covid lies in the US, as well as around the globe. He did not
spare Europe, which allows kids being vaccinated from an age as low as 5
years – just like in the US, the Big Brother. He pointed out that the
death rate in children from what they falsely call a vaccine was a
multiple of the covid fatality in children.
The manifestation in Bern was organized by the Swiss Public Eye, an
Association created in 1968, with the objective of demanding fairer
relations between Switzerland and the world’s poorest countries. Public
Eye, with its currently 27,000 members, also stands for fairness in
trade relations and defends human and civil rights in Switzerland and
around the world.
Mr. Robert Kennedy Jr. came to Bern for a specific reason, and what he said to the Swiss is that Switzerland was the Last Bastion of Democracy in the World.
The upcoming Referendum on 28 November 2021, where the Swiss have the
opportunity to vote for or against a Covid Law – a Martial Law in
disguise – that had quietly been ratified in September 2020 by
Parliament, but had to be put on ice, because a referendum was
immediately launched against it. This referendum collected in record
time a record number of signatures – never seen before in Switzerland.
Robert Kennedy Jr. referred to the totally undemocratic
discrimination which already today takes place in most of Europe,
including in Switzerland, where the “unvaxxed”, those who do not have a
“vaxx-pass” are excluded from society. They cannot enter a restaurant,
cannot go to a gym, or a club, or the movies, or a theatre, or any
public event. They are locked out. They are discriminated.
Does Switzerland want a divided society, with privileges for those
who let themselves be injected with a gene-modifying poison for their
convenience, whereas those who resist this illegal, unconstitutional
government coercion and blackmail will be punished and discriminated?
This is a question all Swiss – vaxxed or unvaxxed – have to ask
themselves. And that while we have the unique opportunity of a People’s
Referendum, where we can decide what we want for our future and the
future of our children and their children.
A case in point is Austria. As of midnight, of Sunday, 14
November, the Austrian Government has declared the world’s first
lockdown for the unvaxxed – unheard of anywhere. Anybody who has not let
themselves be injected with this mRNA-poison (or has been healed from
“PCR-test proven” covid) is under strict lockdown.
Never mind the falsehood of the PCR test. Even WHO admitted
earlier this year, the PCR test is not a reliable measure for
establishing the presence of the covid virus.
The world leaders ignore WHO and continue using the false PCR-test to
identify covid, regardless of how invalid it is. But its high
false-positives (close to 100%) help manipulate the statistics. Under
this new Austrian lockdown, non-vaxxed people are barred from going to
work or going to shops, of leaving their housing unit under threats of
big punishment, and the employers who let them work get astronomical
fines – see this RT Report
This may happen in Switzerland too, if the covid law is approved. DEAR SWISS COMPARIOTS – BE AWARE AND BEWARE! Vote NO on 28 November 2021. Everybody who loves freedom for themselves and for society and for the world must go to vote NO, in masses.
We the people must — and can — overcome this tyranny.
Our battle cry is LIBERTÉ! – LIBERTÉ! – LIBERTÉ!Robert Kennedy and all the speakers were leading on the Rally with LIBERTÉ! It was a truly powerful event. A magic energy flowed through the crowd.
What most Swiss do not know and are not told by their authorities and
especially not by the highly paid – a better term would be “corrupted”
– main stream media, is that this “Health Martial Law” is valid until
31 December of 2031, until one year after the UN Agenda 2030 ends, under
which this covid crime is running (and, it is, of course, extendable,
if deemed necessary); that during this period the government can take
any decision – and let me repeat ANY decision – without consulting the
Parliament, let alone the people; that the Right to launch Referenda, a
unique form of direct democracy – will be suspended immediately. Unless,
we the people, vote massively NO on 28 November 2021, to this criminal
law, this may be the last referendum ever we may have voted on.
As in most cases where an internal Coup d’État is instigated, and believe me, a yes vote would be equivalent to an internal Coup d’État,
a drastic change of Constitution will be put in place. People’s
Referenda won’t be part of a new Constitution. Most people do not
realize this. They are never told the real story by their government,
let alone the media.
Would you believe, dear readers, the Swiss government “subsidizes” – a
better word would be “corrupts” – the mainstream media at the tune of
1.7 billion Swiss francs per year, about equivalent to close to 2
billion US dollars. And that for a Swiss population of 8.4 million. You
may figure out for yourself what the per-capita cost of taxpayer’s money
is to lie and misinform the Swiss people, day-in-day-out; the very
people who finance this fraud unknowingly with their tax money.
If the covid law would be accepted by a majority – GOD FORBID ! –
Switzerland would no longer be a beacon of democracy in the world, or
the Last Bastion of Democracy, in the words of Robert Kennedy Jr.
Instead, Switzerland would almost instantly turn into a “beacon” of
total digitized banking. Every money transaction would be controlled by
the Central Bank. Your bank account could be emptied at will: If you
don’t behave, money is withdrawn; or you don’t follow orders, or rebel,
they could prevent you from buying groceries. All through algorithms and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robots. Full surveillance.
Have you ever wondered how it was possible that basically on the same
day in March 2020, around 11 March – the entire world, all the 193 UN
member countries, introduced exactly the same measures to fight a virus
that is very similar – and not deadlier at all – to a simple annual flu
virus? In fact, the fatality rate of the virus is about 0.07%. In a peer
reviewed paper in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), “Covid-19
– Navigating the Uncharted”, the very Dr. Anthony Fauci, the covid
czar, said that the corona virus was comparable to a flu virus.
There must be enormous money powers behind this taking control of the
world at once and nobody is able to object. Silicon Valley billionaires
and social media are part of the game as well as the Big Financial
Sector, like Black Rock and Vanguard and other dark forces.
The entire UN system is being coerced into following these
dictatorial orders, and the fact that literally all governments play
along must indicate that the order comes with a very heavy – perhaps
deadly – stick attached. And maybe a little carrot too, for those
politicians who obey in oppressing and tyrannizing their people. See
this video speech by Ernst Wolff, renown German financial economist (in
German). He demonstrates with clear comparisons where the world’s power
lies; more than power, as we know it – power over life and death; power
over whether our civilization will survive – and if they allow it to
survive, under what conditions.
Then there is Klaus Schwab’s infamous book, Covid-19 – The Great Reset which
talks about the transformation from humans to “transhumans”, where the
latter will be manipulable-like robots through what he calls implanted
chips – of course, he doesn’t mean in a bad way. All for the best of
humanity. At the end “You will own nothing but you will be happy”.
That’s the WEF’s chairman’s conclusion and view of the future. That’s
commensurate with the conclusion of the 4th Industrial Revolution –
robotization, digitization, and transfer of assets from the bottom and
the middle to a few ultra-rich on the top.
That is the plan. But we can stop it.
Today, all we see moves in this nefarious direction. Yet, We, the
People, have the power to stop it. Without hatred, swinging on a higher
frequency – and yes, all of us, vaxxed and non-vaxxed together, because
in the end, we are in the same boat. That, my dear compatriots of the
world, we have to understand. It’s no good to say ten years from now, at
the end of UN Agenda 2030, “yes, sorry, you were right”. It’s totally
immaterial who is right. The point is we have to stop it together, in
solidarity, vaxxed and unvaxxed together. No discrimination – LIBERTÉ!!! For All.
The poison injections they force upon the population – including
children, imagine!!! – is turning humans into transhumans, meaning, our
minds may eventually be manipulated through 5G and soon to come 6G
ultra-microwaves. That’s why you will need every year a “booster” shot.
It has nothing to do with your health. None of the so-called
“vaccinations” have anything to do with your health. It has all to do
with preparing our body to become receptive to the 5G and eventually 6G
ultra-microwaves. And the Swiss Federal Council, plus every leader in
the world, who follows this evil narrative and dictate, knows it.
If you look around, you see already 5G antennas everywhere. In many
countries, including in Switzerland, 5G is already selectively
operational, despite the fact that the Swiss people had voted for and
the Swiss authorities had agreed to put a moratorium on the introduction
of 5G, until more information about security and possible health
effects are known. Not even WHO – the co-masters of the covid crime –
have dared to express themselves about the potential health effects of
these ultra-ultra-shortwaves.
A crucial question we all have to ask ourselves: Is Switzerland going
to remain the Bastion of democracy and the shining beacon for the
world, possibly influencing the people of the rest of the world –
calling upon them to wake up and put peacefully through non-obedience a
halt to this biblical crime which frankly risks to wipe out humanity?
That’s what Robert Kennedy Jr. and other prominent figures, who spoke
at the Bern Rally last Friday, were pledging for – a Grand NO-VOTE –
for our Freedom – LIBERTÉ! – LIBERTÉ! – LIBERTÉ! – was the going battle cry at this very special Bern People’s Assembly.
Other prominent speakers included Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, the German
lawyer who is leading with a group of more than 1,000 medical and other
professionals, lawsuits against the perpetrators around the world of our
— the People’s – civil liberties and civil rights. He calls upon the
Swiss not to tolerate the planned and already ongoing discrimination
between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed. He calls for solidarity of the two
groups, not division, as solidarity will in the end win back our freedom
and possibly be an influence on peoples of other nations to do likewise
– peacefully, but determined collective non-obedience.
This point on solidarity between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed, the
need to hold hands in this coming referendum vote, was also made by
Christoph Pfluger, the founder of the Swiss Friends of the Constitutions.
He stressed an important point: Together we will win this vote for
freedom and against covid tyranny. Togetherness is love for each other
and beats discrimination. Togetherness and solidarity break the covid
narrative’s back.
The police and military, now largely under control and in the service
of governments and the rich and powerful, those so well described in
Ernst Wolff’s speech – see above – when these wardens of security and of
people’s safety start realizing that they are in the same boat with the
people, with the oppressed and ever more tyrannized people – they may
take off their helmets and march with us.
Also present via video were Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, former Professor of
microbiology and hygiene at the University of Mainz, Germany, and Dr.
Wolfgang Wodarg, a German physician and politician. He was a member of
Parliament until 2009. They are both close collaborators of Dr.
Fuellmich.
Both stressed the importance for people, especially young people, to
go to the polls on 28 November and vote NO against the Covid Law;
against discrimination. It is the coming generations who will have to
bear the brunt of a covid Coup d’État that would install itself in Switzerland and throughout the western countries. They too highlighted that Switzerland could make a difference worldwide with a No-vote.
Also speaking at the rally was Catherine Austin-Fitts, a former US
investment banker, who knows the ins and outs not only of banking and
what banking has become, but also of the ever-increasing role of central
banks. She said if this covid law was accepted, Switzerland, especially
Switzerland – the world’s capital of banking and particularly of
central banking with the Bank for International Settlement (BIS) – the
Central Bank of all Central Banks, sitting in Basle, Switzerland may be
the first country being fully digitized and financially enslaved.
She predicts that Switzerland would be digitized by warp speed – a
point, confirmed to me by other Swiss private bankers, who may not agree
with the system, but who are bound to it through a job that nourishes
and supports their families. They reiterated that we would be controlled
by every move; that access to our money, our assets, will be
commensurate with our behavior and obedience to the system.
Further speaking were Dr. Thomas Binder, Swiss cardiologist and Dr.
Astride Stuckelberger, an international health scientist, formerly with
WHO. Both were reminding the audience of the “nonsensical” and criminal
measures and dictates ordered against Human Rights in Switzerland and
simultaneously in all 193 UN member countries. They pointed to the harm
these measures will do to the entire world population if not stopped.
And especially to our children, because they are the next generation,
leading into the future.
Dr. Thomas Binder made another important point. He called upon all
medical and scientific professionals to remain faithful to their
profession of healing to the best of their knowledge. He referred to the
Hippocratic Oath, which all medical doctors have to
sign. It was written by Hippocrates in the 5th Century B.C., and it is
still held sacred by physicians: to treat the ill to the best of
one’s ability, to preserve a patient’s privacy, to teach the secrets of
medicine to the next generation, and so on.
Dr. Binder appealed to his medical colleagues in Switzerland and
around the world to be true to his oath and to step out from under
government coercion, following their conscience. If this were to happen
by the medical and scientific community worldwide – and despite the
threats – the covid narrative and tyranny would fall apart.
Then there is a worldwide economic destruction, the result of a
disease that, in fact, never existed in a pandemic form. According to
Robert Kennedy Jr., the lie about it wiped out 3.8 trillion dollars
worldwide, most of it in so-called developing countries, leaving misery,
poverty and death behind, while transferring the values of the assets
to the few super rich. See also this thoroughly researched article by Professor Chossudovsky. Professor Chossudovsky, Director and Editor of Global Research
in Montreal, puts all the evidence together, showing that SARS-CoV-2,
alias Covid-19, has never been identified and demonstrates how the case
figures and death counts around the world have been manipulated to
instill fear and to control and oppress the entire world population.
Compatriots – let’s vote massively NO on 28 November 2021 so that
Switzerland may indeed remain the beacon of democracy in the world – and
for worldwide LIBERTÉ – LIBERTÉ – LIBERTÉ!

Last week, in an attempt to explain
away the supply chain woes that are increasingly leading to goods
shortages in America, President Biden citeda popular neoliberal fable. He observed
that to make a pencil, wood and graphite must be sourced from the other
ends of the world before the finished product can end up in American
hands. “It sounds silly, but that’s exactly how it happens,” Biden
mused, “that’s just the nature of the modern economy.” But the result,
he added, is that “when global disruptions hit… it can hit supply chains
particularly hard”.
For neoliberal ideologues such as Milton Friedman, whoused the pencil fable
to argue for opaque world-spanning supply chains, the beauty of such
complex systems is not only that the consumer obtains his product at the
lowest price possible, and that the producer can maximise his profits, “but even more to foster harmony and peace among the peoples of the world”. As the historian Quinn Slobodian noted inGlobalists,
his recent study of the first neoliberal theorists, such idealistic
motivations were evident from the very start. Ignoring the fact that the
globalised world of the late 19th century failed to prevent World War
One, they believed that creating a giant interconnected market would
make a repeat of such a cataclysm impossible.

They were wrong. Instead, the restructuring of the global economy into a large web vastly increases the risk ofa total system collapse.
Instead of one economy failing, a shock in one corner of the world can
place great and sudden stress on economic and political systems
thousands of miles away. A war in distant Taiwan can meanyou’re no longer able to buy a new car; a drought on the other end of the worldmeans empty shelves at home.
As archaeologists and historians have increasingly begun to stress,
our globalised world has seen two antecedents in the past: in the
interconnected, hyper-specialised trading systems of the Bronze Age, and
those of the Roman Empire at its height. When both buckled under a wave
of unexpected shocks, the result was not decline or recession but total
collapse, a process defined bythe great theorist Joseph Tainter as “fundamentally a sudden, pronounced loss of an established level of sociopolitical complexity”.
This is, as Tainter observes, “a
suddenly smaller, simpler, less stratified, and less socially
differentiated” society, where “the flow of information drops, people
trade and interact less” and “specialization decreases and there is less
centralized control”. This
is not a Spenglerian moral fable of societal decline, but an inexorable
process whereby growing complexity and sophistication bring with them a
growing fragility: when a combination of shocks arrive, the entire
society is suddenly forced to reorganise itself. It is not an extinction
event or the end of the world: life goes on, just in a poorer, simpler
fashion.
The great trading civilisations of
the Bronze Age Mediterranean present just such an example. As the
archaeologist Eric H. Cline notes in his recently reissued book1177 BC, for
more than two thousand years the great civilisations of Egypt, Western
Asia and the Aegean had formed a single interconnected trading system,
dependent on complex trading networks that “were open to instability the
minute there was a change in one of the integral parts”.
When crisis struck, shortly after
1200 BC, it took down all the civilisations of the Bronze Age
Mediterranean simultaneously. As Cline notes, “perhaps the inhabitants
could have survived one disaster, such as an earthquake or a drought,
but they could not survive the combined effects of earthquake, drought,
and invaders all occurring in rapid succession”. A “domino effect”
followed, in which, thanks to the globalised nature of their world,
“the disintegration of one civilisation led to the fall of the others”.
The collapse of Roman civilisation, a
product of an overextended, underfinanced empire weakened by internal
feuding among its political elites, presents another apposite example.
As the archaeologist Bryan Ward-Perkins emphasised in his 2005 bookThe Fall of Rome and the End of Civilisation, the
most remarkable aspect of Roman civilisation, archaeologically
speaking, was the ability of even the poorest members of society to
afford cheap and high-quality consumer goods, enabled by immense
specialisation in production and an interconnected trading network that
spanned the entire empire.
Yet after Rome collapsed, such goods
were only available for the very richest members of society. In the
production of ceramics, the use of coinage and the construction of stone
buildings, the Western half of the empire suddenly sank back to a level
of societal complexity lower than in Iron Age prehistory, not returning
to a Roman level of sophistication until the later Middle Ages. And
indeed, as Ward-Perkins warns, the Roman economy’s complexity was the
precise reason its collapse was so total: “economic complexity made
mass-produced goods available, but it also made people dependent on
specialists or semi-specialists — sometimes working hundreds of miles
away — for many of their material needs.” While this worked well in
times of stability, it precipitated collapse when trade routes were
disrupted.
Like Friedman, or Biden, Ward-Perkins
observes that today “we are wholly dependent for our needs on
thousands, indeed hundreds of thousands, of other people spread around
the globe, each doing their own little thing”. Yet he draws a very
different conclusion about the desirability of this situation, noting
that now “we would be quite incapable of meeting our needs locally, even
in an emergency”.
Yet of course, even as they were
living through its early stages, the Romans were unaware their society
was collapsing. Yes, goods were harder to come by, infrastructure was
increasingly degraded, urban life was increasingly unsettled, economic
growth was only a memory, and new religions boomed as people tried to
make sense of their declining prospects. But even still, the military
failures on the empire’s eastern fringes barely impacted life in the
imperial centre. For some people, great profits could still be made: for
most, things went on much as before, though with a lower standard of
living with each passing year. No doubt, things will improve soon,
Romans told themselves: this is only a temporary blip.
The theorist of collapseJohn Michael Greer dates the beginning of the collapse of our own society inthe economic crisis of the mid-1970s,
which drove deindustrialisation in both the United States and Britain
and initiated the erosion of state capacity in search of ever-harder to
accumulate profits, hoarded by oligarchs even as it destroyed the tax
base. This is the process of what Greer terms“catabolic collapse” —
“the stairstep sequence of decline” where decades of crisis are
followed by decades of seeming improvement, though the underlying
society is left weaker and less resilient before the next crisis hits:
“rinse and repeat, and you’ve got the process that turned the Forum of
imperial Rome into an early medieval sheep pasture.”
This gloomy view accords well with the Marxist theorist Wolfgang Streeck’s2016 analysis
that the post-1970s crisis of capitalism, accelerated by the 2008
financial crash, has led us into a period of civilisational entropy and
decay. For him, we experience
“life in the shadow of uncertainty, always at risk of being upset by
surprise events and unpredictable disturbances and dependent on
individuals’ resourcefulness, skillful improvisation, and good luck”. It is a period where the state can no longer guarantee its citizens order or security, where “deep
changes will occur” in an unpredictable fashion, and where every last
effort to squeeze profit out of a collapsing system further undermines
the social structure.
For Streeck, this interregnum is a time when personal wealth dwindles and financial insecurity becomes the norm. Indeed, as Streeck observes, it is a period where “as
growth declines and risks increase, the struggle for survival will
become more intense”. It offers “rich opportunities to oligarchs and
warlords while imposing uncertainty and insecurity on all others, in
some ways like the long interregnum that began in the fifth century CE
and is now called the Dark Age”. It is not a vision of hell, or of the
kind of apocalypse fantasised by Hollywood, but simply of a degraded
version of the present: a world closer to the modern Global South than
our recent past. It is not necessarily a sudden cataclysm, but a process
that will take decades, perhaps even centuries, to fully reveal itself.
Neither Rome nor the civilisations of
the Bronze Age Mediterranean were brought down by one single cause. It
took the combination of climate change, elite rivalry, military disaster
and migratory pressures, combined with the extreme fragility engendered
by economic specialisation and tightly-knit international trading
networks, to ensure that when collapse came, it was total. As
Ward-Perkins warns, Rome’s system of complex supply chains “worked
very well in stable times, but it rendered consumers extremely
vulnerable if for any reason the networks of production and distribution
were disrupted”.
The belated efforts of governments across the world tosecure fragile supply chains andenhance food security
are the refutation, in action, of the fable of the pencil. As Tainter
notes, “the whole concern with collapse and self-sufficiency may itself
be a significant social indicator” of decline.A
focused effort on domestic resilience is, after all, in itself evidence
of reduced civilisational complexity: as trade routes wither andconsumption begins to drop,
we should strive to ensure that we are heading towards a controlled
descent and not a sudden, cataclysmic crash. The imperial centre may not
hold, but our lives must go on.
U.S. Blacklists Strategic Culture Foundation in Attack on Independent Journalism and Political Dissent
November 18, 2021
Washington’s real objective is to criminalize critical journalism and indeed any form of critical dissent.
In an audacious attack on free speech, journalists and writers based
in the United States have now been banned by the U.S. federal
authorities from publishing articles with Strategic Culture Foundation.
We interview one of those authors affected by the ban, New York
City-based journalist Daniel Lazare who shares his thoughts on the
profound implications for free speech, independent journalism and
political dissent.
Lazare is one of several U.S.-based writers who formerly published
regular columns with Strategic Culture Foundation. Our online journal
greatly appreciated their intelligent insights and analysis of U.S. and
international politics. Sadly, we will no longer be able to publish
their columns because of the threat levied on them by the U.S. federal
authorities who accuse SCF of being an influence operation directed by
the Kremlin. The allegations and threats are baseless and draconian.
If U.S.-based writers defy the ban, they have been threatened with
astronomical financial penalties of over $300,000. The prohibition has
only emerged in recent weeks. It follows earlier moves by the U.S. State
Department and the Treasury Department accusing
SCF of being an agent of Russian foreign intelligence. No evidence has
been presented by the U.S. authorities to support their provocative
claims. The Editorial Board of SCF categorically dismisses the
allegations. In a statement, the editors said: “We reject all such
claims by the U.S. authorities that the journal is an alleged Russian
intelligence operation. We have no connection with the Russian
government. We provide an independent forum for international writers to
debate and freely critique major topical issues of world importance.”
Strategic Culture Foundation’s editorial production is based in
Russia and the journal has been publishing articles by international
authors for over a decade. The online journal has gained respect and
readership primarily in North America for its critical and diverse
coverage of geopolitics. It seems that the official move to ban SCF by
the U.S. government is really aimed at shutting down independent
journalism and critical thinking under the cynical guise of combating a
“foreign enemy”. This has baleful echoes with the Red Scare Cold War
years in the U.S.
By banning American voices from the journal, Washington is attempting
to bolster its smear against SCF as being a sinister intelligence
agency. But the real objective is to criminalize critical journalism and
indeed any form of critical dissent. Arguably, the draconian attack by
the U.S. authorities has to be seen in the wider context of persecuting
Julian Assange and other whistleblowers who have exposed Washington’s
crimes and corruption.
Daniel Lazare is a veteran newspaper journalist who specializes in
U.S. constitutional law and rights. He formerly worked for Consortium
News and Strategic Culture Foundation among other outlets. The New York
City-based writer now publishes a regular column for The Weekly Worker, the paper of the Communist Party of Great Britain.
Interview
Question: You mentioned that you were approached by
members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning article
contributions as a columnist for Strategic Culture Foundation. Can you
expand on those circumstances? When were you first approached, how
recently, and did they specify SCF and the reasons for why the journal
was being targeted?
Daniel Lazare: A couple of FBI agents knocked on my
door on a blazing hot day in July 2020. My memory is fuzzy, but I
distinctly remember them asking whether I could tell them about SCF and
its alleged links with Russian intelligence. I replied that I wasn’t
interested because I regard the entire avenue of inquiry as bogus and a
product of the anti-Moscow hysteria that’s running rampant in
Washington. So the agents left. Everything was polite and low-keyed, and
the entire exchange took no more than four or five minutes.
Question: Other U.S.-based writers who have had
articles published by SCF also say they were warned by the FBI to halt
writing. They say they were warned that such activity could incur
massive financial penalties. Was such a penalty cited to you?
Daniel Lazare: Yes it was. Early in November this
year, that is 15 or 16 months after the initial visit, one of the FBI
agents showed up at my door again with a letter from the U.S. Treasury
dated October 15, 2021, warning that, “pursuant to Executive Order 13848
of September 12, 2018, … all property and interests in property of SCF
that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are
generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.” The
letter further advised that “each violation… is subject to a statutory
maximum civil monetary penalty of up to the greater of $311,562 or twice
the value of the underlying transaction.” I’m not even sure what “up to
the greater” means. But I got the message that my savings could be
wiped out if I didn’t desist.
Question: The U.S. State Department and Treasury
have sanctioned SCF on the basis of allegations that the journal is an
instrument of Russian foreign intelligence and the Russian foreign
ministry. The SCF editorial board rejects those allegations. What do you
make of the U.S. accusations? Are they credible?
Daniel Lazare: No, they are not credible. Anyone who
takes one look at the SCF website will see that it features articles on
foreign policy and world affairs that, politically speaking, cover the
map from conservative to Marxist. To be sure, most of the articles
published are critical of U.S. policy, but that’s the only consistent
thread. So I can’t see how this benefits the Kremlin in any significant
way since such viewpoints are common throughout the internet. Everyone
knows that the United States is a global bully, so why bother adding to
the chorus? Of course, if the U.S. authorities provided something by way
of tangible evidence of an intelligence link, things might be
different. But since they haven’t, we are left with nothing more than an
assertion that is dubious on its face.
Question: Presumably, the U.S. authorities will not
pursue legal and financial action against U.S.-based authors who desist
from further writing work for SCF. That is, there will be no
retrospective litigation for past work. That suggests the move is an
expedient and unscrupulous one aimed at intimidating writers. How do you
see it?
Daniel Lazare: I see it that way too. As part of its
sanctions campaign, Washington is not only trying to impose an economic
blockade on Russian companies but a journalistic blockade as well. And
it thinks nothing of trampling on Americans’ First Amendment rights in
doing so.
Question: Do you think perhaps that the U.S.
authorities are exploiting hysteria over alleged Russian interference
and influence as a pretext to close down critical independent speech? It
seems the “Russiagate” narrative that began as a way to undermine the
Trump presidency in 2016 is alive and well.
Daniel Lazare: The implications in terms of free
speech and critical thinking are profound. By forcing journalists to
line up behind U.S. foreign policy in this way, the Washington federal
government is telling them that dissent has its limits. Intelligence and
analysis are fine as long as they don’t deviate from the official line.
This was certainly the case during Russiagate when journalists who
dared question the “collusion” thesis found themselves effectively
sidelined. And it’s still true even though Russiagate is supposedly
behind us. The bottom line is that critical thinking will hurt your
career, so don’t indulge yourself too much if you want to get ahead.
Question: In your long experience of working as a
newspaper journalist, have you seen anything like this effort by the
U.S. government to censor? Historically, how does it compare with the
McCarthyite Cold War era of persecuting alleged fifth columnists for the
Soviet Union?
Daniel Lazare: Unfortunately, the campaign against
SCF is far from unprecedented. Since the days of anti-communist Senator
Joe McCarthy in the 1950s, the government has worked overtime at
narrowing the bounds of acceptable discourse. Free speech has never been
verboten as a whole. Indeed, it was perfectly OK – even voguish in
certain quarters – to argue that “Tailgunner Joe”, a nickname by which
McCarthy was mocked, was going too far, that he was running roughshod
over civil liberties, etc. As long as you were careful to stress that
communism was still a threat, you were fine. But arguing that the
McCarthyite Red threat was overdone while also arguing that communists
might actually be right about certain things, such as the poisonous
levels of racism in the U.S. South, that was completely off-limits.
Journalists had to engage in careful self-censorship so as to preclude
any suggestion of fundamental ideological disagreement. The effort is
alive and well during the age of neo-McCarthyism known as Russiagate.
Question: In the sinister age of persecution of
whistleblowers like Julian Assange by the U.S. authorities, it seems
that independent journalism is being criminalized. Do you see a
connection between the Assange case and what the U.S. government is
doing with regard to prohibiting U.S.-based journalists from working for
Strategic Culture Foundation?
Daniel Lazare: I do see a connection in that the aim
in both cases is clearly to narrow the bounds of acceptable discourse.
On one hand, the U.S. government wants us to swallow the absurd lie that
Assange is guilty of espionage merely because he has received inside
government information, something that investigative journalists do
seven days a week. On the other, it wants journalists to agree not to
write for a website on the grounds that it’s an arm of Russian
intelligence even though the government has provided nothing by way of
evidence. It’s impossible to do either without tossing critical
faculties by the wayside. But that’s exactly what the U.S. government
wants us to do – so as to eliminate political dissent.

Fauci is the highest-paid federal employee in the U.S., and 68% of his $437,000 a year salary comes from bioweapons research
Instead of safeguarding public
health, Dr. Anthony Fauci turned the National Institutes of Health into
an incubator for pharmaceutical products, and essentially sold the
entire country to the drug industry
Fauci has had a hand in
creating the vaccine gold rush. In 2000, he met with Bill Gates, who
asked to partner with the NIH in an agreement to vaccinate the world
with a battery of new vaccines. In 2009, this agreement was rebranded as
“The Decade of Vaccines,” the objective of which was to implement
mandatory vaccinations for every adult and child on the planet by the
year 2020
One of the darkest stains on
Fauci’s career, aside from his role in the COVID pandemic, was his
handling of the HIV epidemic. Suppressing the use of repurposed drugs,
Fauci zeroed in on AZT, a toxic drug that has killed an estimated
300,000 AIDS patients
The similarities between the
AZT scandal and what’s happening today with the COVID jab and remdesivir
are striking. Again, Fauci has suppressed all treatments using
inexpensive and nontoxic drugs. U.S. taxpayers have paid for research,
while drug companies have raked in the profits, all while having zero
liability for injuries and deaths
*
In this interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental activist
and attorney turned ultimate freedom fighter, discusses his latest book,
“The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,”
which is a must-read if you want to know more about the
behind-the-scenes of this giant fraud. We could talk for hours and not
cover but a fraction of what’s in this book, which Kennedy calls a
“devastating indictment of Tony Fauci.”
In a nutshell, Kennedy describes how Fauci turned the National
Institutes of Health into an incubator for pharmaceutical products, and
essentially sold the entire country to the drug industry. The book is an
incredibly well-referenced record of his history of decimating human
health, and exposes him as a self-serving charlatan.
I particularly enjoyed how Kennedy placed Fauci in the context of
Rockefeller’s legacy with respect to Bill Gates, who developed an
alliance with Fauci over 20 years ago. Rockefeller set us on a course of
toxic, profit-driven medicines synthesized from the byproducts of the
oil refinery process a century ago, and Gates picked up where he left
off and then collaborated heavily with Fauci.
The Real Anthony Fauci
Fauci, in turn, has had a hand in creating the vaccine gold rush. In
2000, he met with Bill Gates, who asked to partner with the NIH in an
agreement to vaccinate the entire population of the world with a battery
of new vaccines. In 2009, this agreement was rebranded as “The Decade
of Vaccines,” the objective of which was to implement mandatory
vaccinations for every adult and child on the planet by the year 2020.
“I show how they use the pandemic
simulations, working very closely with the intelligence agencies, with
the big media companies and the major pharmaceutical companies to make
that happen,” Kennedy says.
“Gates calls what he does philanthropy
capitalism, [the idea that] you can use philanthropy to make money. He
had a foundation where he has sheltered $50 billion in tax-free money.
And, he continues to have absolute control over it. He uses that money
to gain control of public health agencies in our country and the World
Health Organization.
He’s created a lot of his own
[organizations] with Dr. Fauci and a lot of these quasi-governmental
agencies that people think are governmental. They’re actually front
groups of the pharmaceutical industry like GAVI and SEPI …
He uses this battery and this control of
the WHO to set pharmaceutical or medical policy, public health policy
around the globe, in a way that maximizes the profits from his
stakeholding in these big pharmaceutical companies.
I also show he’s simultaneously doing the
same thing to control the global food supply … [He’s] really trying to
change both public health and food policies in ways that benefit
corporations that he’s invested in and that he’s partnered with.”
Fauci’s Lethal Handling of the AIDS Epidemic
Gates didn’t lure Fauci to the dark side, however. Fauci had already
spent decades playing with people’s lives and sacrificing public health
for profit. One of the darkest stains on Fauci’s career, aside from his
role in the COVID pandemic, was his handling of the HIV epidemic.
The first cases of AIDS surfaced in 1981. Initially, the AIDS program
was run by the National Cancer Institute, a separate institute inside
the Health and Human Services Department (HHS). The general belief was
that AIDS had a chemical etiology caused by drug use. This all changed
when the HIV virus was discovered.
Fauci started working for the NIH in 1968 as a clinical associate in
the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation at National Institute for
Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). He became director of the NIAID
in 1984, the year after the discovery of the HIV virus, and was
appointed director of the Office of AIDS Research in 1988, when that
office was established. As explained by Kennedy, Fauci essentially built
the NIAID around an AIDS drug called AZT.
“AZT was a chemotherapy formulation that
was so toxic it killed all the rats when they gave it to them. The
inventor of AZT felt that it was unsafe for any human use, so he didn’t
even patent it,” Kennedy says.
“Very early on, the National Cancer
Institute had found that when you put AZT in a culture of HIV, that
killed the HIV, not surprisingly. It killed anything it touched. And so,
Fauci partnered with the manufacturer of AZT … He guided that
formulation through the regulatory process and tried to fast track it.
He cheated terribly on the clinical trials.
In the clinical trials, it was killing
everybody. It literally kills everybody who takes it. But he was able to
keep the people in the treatment group alive by giving them huge
numbers of blood transfusions. It does keep them alive for the eight
weeks, and based upon that eight-week trial, he got approval for AZT. It
was unprecedented.
As Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize
for discovering the polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) technique, said,
with any chemotherapy drug, you’re supposed to give it to somebody for
two weeks. Chemotherapy is designed to kill every cell in the body, but
hopefully it kills tumor cells first, and you can take the person off
it. The tumor dies, if you time it right, and the person doesn’t die.
If you put somebody on that for life,
like Tony Fauci was doing, every one of them is going to die. And that’s
what happened. Meanwhile, there were a lot of drugs at that time that
were being repurposed. Local, community-based doctors in San Francisco
and New York who were treating the AIDS community were finding that
these drugs treated the symptoms of AIDS, and they stopped people from
dying.
Fauci made a deliberate crusade to
sabotage those, to make sure they were not available to sick people, in
order to make sure that AZT would be the only solution. And AZT was the
most expensive drug in history. It was $10,000 for a one-year supply
[while costing just $5 per dose to manufacture, plus U.S. taxpayers paid
for all of the research and development of the drug] …
Tony Fauci basically created this
template that he then used over the next 45 years, to develop toxic drug
after toxic drug. He killed early treatment, and killed any protocol
that competed with his pharmaceutical enterprise. A lot of people have
died [as a result].”
Although a bonanza of money was made with AZT, it pales in comparison
to Pfizer making out like a bandit with its COVID shot. The U.S.
taxpayers paid $20 billion to fund the research, and another $10 billion
to market the COVID jab. Pfizer created the best-selling drug in the
world and will make $35 billion from it this year.1 Even better, unlike AZT, this is absolutely risk-free and they can never be sued for injuries.
An estimated 330,000 people have died from AZT alone. Overall, the
similarities between the AZT scandal and what’s happening today with the
COVID jab and remdesivir are striking. Again, Fauci has discouraged the
use of any prevention for COVID-19, and any treatment using inexpensive
and relatively nontoxic drugs such as hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.
U.S. taxpayers funded the research while drug companies have made an
estimated $100 billion in profits from the shots in a single year, all
while having zero liability for injuries and deaths even as people are
being coerced into taking them.
“Everything in Tony Fauci’s career is
Groundhog Day,” Kennedy says. “Again, and again, and again, he is
repeating the same behavior and it is paying off. And he has this way of
talking where he never really says anything. And this habit of just
lying, and lying, and lying …
I knew a lot about what happened during
the HIV crisis because my uncle, Ted Kennedy, was chair of a health
committee at that time. Teddy was the first presidential candidate to
court the gay vote, and I was running his campaign at that time …
In the health committee, his primary concern for most of the time was AIDS. I talk about this in my book.
Finally, Fauci was called in front of
Congress, and was just fileted. Henry Waxman and all of these well-known
Democratic congressmen were saying, ‘What the hell are you doing?
You’ve produced nothing. You’re totally incompetent.’ After that, his
career was over, and he decided at that point, ‘OK, I’m going to work on
getting these repurposed drugs on the market.’
He did that for a couple of years, and he
had a project, which was a dual track project where they could, without
going through the clinical trials and FDA randomized, placebo
controlled trials, they could get approval for these drugs, so that
people could get insurance for them and pay for them. So, I was deeply
involved in this for many, many years, and I’ve known Tony Fauci for a
long time.
I have insights on who he really is, that
most liberal Democrats are utterly ignorant of. He is the opposite of
everything they believe. He is the architect who turned our public
health system over to the pharmaceutical industry. He does not do public
health. And there is no metric at NIH, where they look and say, ‘We are
improving public health.’
The only metric they have is, ‘How many
vaccines have we given? How many pharmaceutical drugs have we sold? How
much kickback money are we getting into the agency?’ As I explain in the
book, this agency has become an incubator for the pharmaceutical
industry.”
Gain-of-Function Research Under Fauci’s Watch
Fauci is responsible for an annual budget of about $6.1 billion. He
gets another $1.6 billion from the military to do bioweapons research,
which is where 68% of his $437,000 a year salary comes from. (Fauci is
the highest-paid federal employee in the U.S. Second-highest is the
president, at $400,000 a year.)
“That’s why he had to do that
gain-of-function shenanigans in Wuhan,” Kennedy says. “He had to do it,
because he had to hold on to his salary. And most of his salary comes
from bioweapons research …
Gain-of-function research has never
provided a single scientific or medical development that has assisted us
in responding to pandemics. Not one. But Fauci continues to do it,
because it is critical to his salary. And it’s critical to that funding
stream.”
Now, the bulk of the NIAID’s funding was intended to be used to study
American health and to improve it; to eliminate infectious allergic
diseases and autoimmune diseases. Instead, under Fauci’s watch, the
chronic disease epidemic has exploded.
This, despite the fact that between Fauci, Gates and the U.K.
Wellcome Trust, they control 63% of the biomedical research on earth
through their funding. Over his career, Fauci alone has distributed more
than $930 billion in research grants through the NIAID. You could say
they control all of it, really, because they also have the capacity to
dry up funding to projects they don’t want done.
Ruthless Fauci
Case in point: Something happened in 1989, triggering a series of
epidemics — autism, food allergies, Tourette’s Syndrome, narcolepsy,
ADD/ADHD, speech delay, language delay, rheumatoid arthritis and
autoimmune diseases like juvenile diabetes. All of them sprang up right
around 1989. Why? What’s causing them? It’s Fauci’s job to find out, but
he refuses to, and he blocks anyone else from digging too deep.
“Tony Fauci’s job is to say, why did that
happen? It has to be an environmental toxin. Genes don’t cause
epidemics. They provide the vulnerability, but they cannot cause an
epidemic. You need an environmental toxin. All we have to do is figure
out which one started in ’89, and became ubiquitous the same year. But
if anybody tries to do that study, Fauci will ruin their career.”
Top suspects include vaccines, which dramatically increased in ’89,
and virtually all of the chronic diseases that have skyrocketed are
listed as potential side effects on the manufacturers’ inserts. The
herbicide glyphosate also became ubiquitous around that time, and really
exploded in 1993 when RoundUp Ready corn was invented. GMOs, other
pesticides, ultrasound and PFOAs are other potential culprits.
“Our kids are swimming around in a toxic
soup. And it could be all of those things, or it could be one or
another, but it’s easy to find out. You just do the science. And that
science is easy to do, but it will never be done as long as Tony Fauci’s
in office, because he doesn’t want us to know — because those are the
industries he has survived by protecting,”Kennedy says.
Fauci Works on Behalf of Big Pharma
Kennedy goes on to explain how Fauci works on behalf of Big Pharma, and why he’s become so important for the drug industry.
“Between 2009 and 2016, about 230 drugs
were approved by the FDA, all of which came out of his shop. So, he is
an incubator for Pharma.
And here’s what he does: At his lab, he
has petri dishes filled with every virus [imaginable], and he has
scientists that are messing around with different molecules and
different poisons, and they’ll drop those poisons into a petri dish and
see if it kills the culture. If it kills the culture, then he has a
potential antiviral drug.
The next step is, they give it to rats,
and see if it kills the rats. If most of the rats survive, now you have a
potential antiviral that may work in humans. Then, he farms it out to a
big university. Now the person it goes to at the university is usually a
very powerful person. It’s the dean of the medical school, or the chair
of one of the departments, and they run the clinical trials, which is
extremely lucrative.
So, they will do the Phase 1 trial, and
they’ll recruit maybe 100 people for the trial. Fauci gives that
principal investigator maybe $20,000 per recruit. The university skims
off 50% to 75% of that. So, now, that university is hooked into the
system.
Then, if the drug works in Phase 1 and
Phase 2, then they have to bring in big groups of people — 10,000 people
— and you’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. And they
have to bring in a pharmaceutical company that now takes control of
about half the patent.
Tony Fauci’s agency keeps a share of the
patent. For example, they now collect royalties on the Moderna [COVID]
vaccine. [The NIAID] gets half the royalties, billions of dollars. The
university researcher keeps some of the patent, so he is now permanently
attached to Tony Fauci and will do anything he says, and the university
itself is getting some of that patent.
So, it’s hundreds of millions of dollars
that are going to these universities every year, in addition to the
grants that he’s giving, and he can cut all that off if somebody at the
university does the wrong study.
Once the drug goes through Phase 3, it
goes to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Fauci says, ‘Well those
are independent scientists at FDA.’ The panel is called VRBPAC [Vaccines
and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee], and they’re NOT
people who work for the FDA. They’re outside persons who are brought in.
Well, where are they brought in from?
They’re Tony Fauci’s principal investigators from all the universities,
who are working on his other projects, and they’re brought in to rubber
stamp the drug …
They OK it and give it a license, because
they know that, next year, their drug is going to be in front of that
committee, and they are going to want the committee to rubber stamp
them. So, that committee never says no. It always green lights
everything, and it’s completely controlled by Fauci. He controls the
whole process …
Every expert you see on CNN is on Tony
Fauci’s payroll, and CNN will never tell you that. It will say, ‘This is
an independent virologist, he’s an immunologist at Baylor University,
or Stanford, or Harvard.’ They’re not telling you where that guy’s bread
is being buttered, and that the person who’s buttering it is Tony
Fauci, with your taxpayer dollars. The whole system is just fixed.”
Fauci’s Past and Rotten Character Are Catching Up on Him
As more and more of Fauci’s lies and his funding of sadistic
experiments on animals and aborted fetuses are coming to light, Kenney
predicts Fauci will be forced to resign, especially as the book comes
out and people really start to understand what he’s been up to all these
years.
“Nobody who was not a sadist in his soul
would allow [the beagles being eaten by sandflies] experiment to
happen,” Kennedy says. “Yet, Tony Fauci deemed that the best use for
$450,000 of U.S. taxpayer money, with all of the screaming needs in
public health.
But it’s not just $450,000. Millions and
millions [of dollars] he has put into these sadistic experiments where
they’re torturing animals to death. Like you’d see in a schoolyard with
little boys, who don’t know any better and need to be told, ‘You don’t
do that to another creature.’ Fauci doesn’t have that instinct, it’s
lacking.
It explains what he has done during COVID
— denying early treatment to millions of Americans and forcing them to
suffer and die in their homes, or on ventilators and remdesevir, which
is a deadly toxic drug, rather than get treated and be healthy.
And punishing, silencing, censoring,
delicensing, discrediting any doctor who tries to say, ‘Wait a minute,
I’ve been treating patients, and my patients aren’t dying, because I’m
using hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin’ and an entire battery of
repurposed drugs that we now know treat virtually all COVID cases.
Seventy to 90% of COVID deaths and
hospitalizations could have been prevented, and there are hundreds of
studies that support that. Yet, he forbids people from doing it. That is
a sociopath …
And shutting down a million businesses,
is that really going to save lives? There’s no study that indicated it
would … We have 4.2% of the global population, and we had 14.5% of the
deaths. Why is anybody listening to this guy? There’s no Health Minister
in the world who has a worse track record than Tony Fauci.
There are many countries that had 1/100th
of our death rate per million in population. And guess what? Those are
mainly the African and Asian countries, that as a matter of course are
giving ivermectin for river blindness and hydroxychloroquine for malaria
control.”
In support of Kennedy’s assertion that Fauci will be forced to
resign, you can view his recent grilling November 4, 2021, by Sen. Rand
Paul in front of Congress. What is most impressive are the comments,
which are virtually unanimously disparaging Fauci.
Fauci’s Lethal, Illegal Experiments on Children
In his book, Kennedy includes a chapter on some of the animal trials
Fauci funded. He also tells a far grimmer story, where the guinea pigs
were Black and Hispanic children. At least 85 of these children died,
but the number could be as high as 1,000 or so. Fauci got these children
by arranging for foster care programs in New York and six other states
to assign children who had lost their parents to AIDS to participate in
drug studies.
These children had no guardian, so they were illegal studies. To do a
clinical trial on children, you need to have a guardian appointed who
puts their interests first, ahead of the drug companies. Fauci didn’t
want that, so he allowed these studies to go forward without a legal
guardian for any of these kids. No one was watching out for them. The
trials weren’t even done by licensed medical professionals.
“They were mainly Dominican immigrants,
who were deeply compassionate, who discovered in the middle that they
were actually being hired to treat these children as guinea pigs, and
they were killing huge numbers of them. Many of the kids didn’t even
have HIV, so they had no possible benefit from the drug, which is
illegal.
Yet Fauci got away with all of it. I
believe there was a Congressional investigation for a brief time, but
like everything that gets near him, it kind of peters out. The BBC did a
documentary on these kids back in 2004 called ‘Guinea Pig Kids.’
They interviewed these children, [one]
who said, ‘I took the drugs. They made me feel sick. I was vomiting, I
couldn’t eat, I was tired all the time, it was painful, and I refused to
take it.’
And when they refused, they were sent to
another of Tony Fauci’s principal investigators at Columbia Presbyterian
who installed a feeding tube to force feed these children these toxic
chemotherapy drugs that they refused to take … As bad as Beagle gate is,
what he did to these Black and Hispanic children is even worse.”
COVID-19 — The Culmination of Fauci’s Criminal Enterprise
As for the COVID-19 pandemic, Kennedy equates it to the culmination
of Fauci’s career. In the book, he recounts how Fauci has been a key
figure in pandemic planning — not necessarily how to prevent one, but
how to create it, as infectious disease mortality had dropped so
dramatically that infectious diseases were becoming an increasingly low
priority.
So far, every single pandemic that has been dramatized has turned out
to be a complete fraud, and the same can be said for COVID. All the
while, billions of dollars were spent on vaccines.
“They’ve taken all of these lessons they
learned from all the other fake pandemics and rolled it into
coronavirus,” Kennedy says. “Now, I want to make clear, I’m not saying
that coronavirus is not a pandemic, or that it doesn’t kill a lot of
people. It does. But we’ve all been manipulated by an exaggeration of
cases, the exaggeration of deaths, the obscuring of data, all of the
manipulations that they’ve done to us.
[In the book] I have a picture that
somebody got from a Freedom of Information Act request. It’s a March
Madness graph of all of the different pandemics — fake pandemics —
[Fauci] has tried during his career, all converging with the grand
winner being coronavirus. And [Fauci] signed it, somebody on his staff
made it.
But it was Tony Fauci’s triumph, winning
March Madness. It’s basically a picture of his career. Him trying every
three or four years a new fake pandemic, and finally hitting on all
eight cylinders with coronavirus. It’s like it’s a joke, and we are the
punchline …
Here’s what I would say to people. We
have to stop this. This is the hill that we all have to die on. If you
are a parent, and you let them give this [COVID shot] to your child, you
are not doing your job as a parent. If you are a doctor, you are
committing malpractice to give this to a child. We all need to resist.
I would say that every American who sees
what’s happening has to start engaging in civil disobedience every day.
And that may mean going to a store and telling them, if they demand a
vaccine passport, that you are not going to patronize that store
anymore. It may mean resisting on the job. Do not quit! Make them fire
you. Because then you have a lawsuit.
Right now, the best thing is to make them
fire you for not taking an emergency use authorization vaccine, because
there are no approved vaccines in this country available to any
American. It was a myth, it was a hoax, it was a chicanery for them to
say, ‘We approved this Comirnaty vaccine.’ If you go on Pfizer’s
website, it will tell you, ‘We do not make Comirnaty available in the
United States.’
Why are they trying to go after our kids?
Here’s why. The vaccines can only get liability protection once they
are approved. The only way they get liability protection is if they’re
on the child’s vaccination schedule. And then, once the CDC votes them
onto the child vaccination schedule, then they get liability protection,
even for adults.
One lawsuit can bankrupt the company if
they didn’t have liability protection. So that’s why they’re going after
our kids. They need it to get that liability protection. And we need to
stop them from the collateral damage they’re going to cause to an
entire generation of children; 26 million children will get a vaccine
that’s been tested on 1,300 kids, with catastrophic results.”

Who Owns Big Pharma + Big Media? You’ll Never Guess.
BlackRock and the Vanguard Group, the two
largest asset management firms in the world, combined own The New York
Times and other legacy media, along with Big Pharma.
Sign up
for free news and updates from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the
Children’s Health Defense. CHD is planning many strategies, including

justice for those already injured. Your support is essential to CHD’s successful mission.
Drug companies are driving COVID-19
responses — all of which, so far, have endangered rather than optimized
public health — and mainstream media have been willing accomplices in
spreading their propaganda, a false official narrative that leads the
public astray and fosters fear based on lies.
Vanguard and BlackRock are the top two owners of Time Warner,
Comcast, Disney and News Corp, four of the six media companies that
control more than 90% of the U.S. media landscape.
BlackRock and Vanguard form a secret monopoly that own just about
everything else you can think of too. In all, they have ownership in
1,600 American firms, which in 2015 had combined revenues of $9.1
trillion. When you add in the third-largest global owner, State Street,
their combined ownership encompasses nearly 90% of all S&P 500
firms.
Vanguard is the largest shareholder of BlackRock. Vanguard itself,
on the other hand, has a unique structure that makes its ownership more
difficult to discern, but many of the oldest, richest families in the
world can be linked to Vanguard funds.
What does The New York Times and a majority of other legacy media have in common with Big Pharma? Answer: They’re largely owned by BlackRock and the Vanguard Group,
the two largest asset management firms in the world. Moreover, it turns
out these two companies form a secret monopoly that owns just about
everything else you can think of too. Asreported in the featured video:
“The stock of the world’s largest
corporations are owned by the same institutional investors. They all own
each other. This means that ‘competing’ brands, like Coke and Pepsi
aren’t really competitors, at all, since their stock is owned by exactly
the same investment companies, investment funds, insurance companies,
banks and in some cases, governments.
“The smaller investors are owned by
larger investors. Those are owned by even bigger investors. The visible
top of this pyramid shows only two companies whose names we have often
seen …They are Vanguard and BlackRock.
“The power of these two companies is
beyond your imagination. Not only do they own a large part of the stocks
of nearly all big companies but also the stocks of the investors in
those companies. This gives them a complete monopoly.
“A Bloomberg report states that both
these companies in the year 2028, together will have investments in the
amount of 20 trillion dollars. That means that they will own almost
everything.’”
Who are the Vanguard?
The word “vanguard” means “the foremost position in an army or fleet
advancing into battle,” and/or “the leading position in a trend or
movement.” Both are fitting descriptions of this global behemoth, owned
by globalists pushing for a Great Reset, the core of which is the transfer of wealth and ownership from the hands of the many into the hands of the very few.
Interestingly, Vanguard is the largest shareholder of BlackRock,
as of March 2021. Vanguard itself, on the other hand, has a “unique”
corporate structure that makes its ownership more difficult to discern.
It’s owned by its various funds, which in turn are owned by the
shareholders. Aside from these shareholders, it has no outside investors and is not publicly traded. As reported in the featured video:
“The elite who own Vanguard apparently do
not like being in the spotlight but of course they cannot hide from who
is willing to dig. Reports from Oxfam and Bloomberg say that 1% of the
world, together owns more money than the other 99%. Even worse, Oxfam
says that 82% of all earned money in 2017 went to this 1%.
“In other words, these two investment
companies, Vanguard and BlackRock hold a monopoly in all industries in
the world and they, in turn, are owned by the richest families in the
world, some of whom are royalty and who have been very rich since before
the Industrial Revolution.”
While it would take time to sift through all of Vanguard’s funds to
identify individual shareholders, and therefore owners of Vanguard, a
quick look-see suggests Rothschild Investment Corp. and the Edmond De Rothschild Holding are two such stakeholders. Keep the name Rothschild in your mind as you read on, as it will feature again later.
The video above also identifies the Italian Orsini family, the
American Bush family, the British Royal family, the du Pont family, the
Morgans, Vanderbilts and Rockefellers, as Vanguard owners.
BlackRock/Vanguard own Big Pharma
According to Simply Wall Street,
in February 2020, BlackRock and Vanguard were the two largest
shareholders of GlaxoSmithKline, at 7% and 3.5% of shares respectively.
At Pfizer, the ownership is reversed, with Vanguard being the top investor and BlackRock the second-largest stockholder.
Keep in mind that stock ownership ratios can change at any time,
since companies buy and sell on a regular basis, so don’t get hung up on
percentages. The bottom line is that BlackRock and Vanguard,
individually and combined, own enough shares at any given time that we
can say they easily control both Big Pharma and the centralized legacy media — and then some
Why does this matter? It matters because drug companies are driving COVID-19
responses — all of which, so far, have endangered rather than optimized
public health — and mainstream media have been willing accomplices in
spreading their propaganda, a false official narrative that has, and still is, leading the public astray and fosters fear based on lies.
To have any chance of righting this situation, we must understand who
the central players are, where the harmful dictates are coming from,
and why these false narratives are being created in the first place.
As noted in Global Justice Now’s
December 2020 report “The Horrible History of Big Pharma,” we simply
cannot allow drug companies — “which have a long track record of
prioritizing corporate profit over people’s health” — to continue to
dictate COVID-19 responses.
In it, they review the shameful history of the top seven drug
companies in the world that are now developing and manufacturing drugs
and gene-based “vaccines” against COVID-19, while mainstream media have
helped suppress information about readily available older drugs that
have been shown to have a high degree of efficacy against the infection.
BlackRock/Vanguard own the media
When it comes to The New York Times, as of May 2021, BlackRock is the second-largest stockholder at 7.43% of total shares, just after The Vanguard Group, which owns the largest portion (8.11%).
In addition to The New York Times, Vanguard and BlackRock are also
the top two owners of Time Warner, Comcast, Disney and News Corp, four
of the six media companies that control more than 90% of the U.S. media landscape.
Needless to say, if you have control of this many news outlets, you
can control entire nations by way of carefully orchestrated and
organized centralized propaganda disguised as journalism.
If your head is spinning already, you’re not alone. It’s difficult to
describe circular and tightly interwoven relationships in a linear
fashion. The world of corporate ownership is labyrinthine, where
everyone seems to own everyone, to some degree.
However, the key take-home message is that two companies stand out
head and neck above all others, and those are BlackRock and Vanguard.
Together, they form a hidden monopoly on global asset holdings, and
through their influence over our centralized media, they have the power
to manipulate and control a great deal of the world’s economy and
events, and how the world views it all.
Considering BlackRock in 2018 announced
that it has “social expectations” from the companies it invests in, its
potential role as a central hub in the Great Reset and the “build back
better” plan cannot be overlooked.
Add to this information showing it “undermines competition through
owning shares in competing companies” and “blurs boundaries between
private capital and government affairs by working closely with
regulators,” and one would be hard-pressed to not see how
BlackRock/Vanguard and their globalist owners might be able to
facilitate the Great Reset and the so-called “green” revolution, both of
which are part of the same wealth-theft scheme.
BlackRock and Vanguard own the world
That assertion will become even clearer once you realize that this
duo’s influence is not limited to Big Pharma and the media. Importantly,
BlackRock also works closely with central banks around the world, including
the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is a private entity, not a federal one.
It lends money to the central bank, acts as an adviser to it, and develops the central bank’s software.
BlackRock/Vanguard also own shares of a long list of other companies, including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook
and Alphabet Inc. As illustrated in the graphic of BlackRock and
Vanguard’s ownership network below, featured in the 2017 article “These
Three Firms Own Corporate America” in The Conversation, it would be near-impossible to list them all.
In all, BlackRock and Vanguard have ownership in some 1,600 American
firms, which in 2015 had combined revenues of $9.1 trillion. When you
add in the third-largest global owner, State Street, their combined ownership encompasses nearly 90% of all S&P 500 firms.
A global monopoly few know anything about

To tease out the overarching influence of BlackRock and Vanguard in
the global marketplace, be sure to watch the 45-minute-long video
featured at the top of this article. It provides a wide-view summary of
the hidden monopoly network of Vanguard- and BlackRock-owned
corporations, and their role in the Great Reset. A second much shorter
video (above) offers an additional review of this information.
How can we tie BlackRock/Vanguard — and the globalist families that
own them — to the Great Reset? Barring a public confession, we have to
look at the relationships between these behemoth globalist-owned
corporations and consider the influence they can wield through those
relationships. As noted by Lew Rockwell:
“When Lynn Forester de Rothschild wants the United States to be a
one-party country (like China) and doesn’t want voter ID laws passed in
the U.S., so that more election fraud can be perpetrated to achieve that
end, what does she do?
“She holds a conference call with the
world’s top 100 CEOs and tells them to publicly decry as ‘Jim Crow’
Georgia’s passing of an anti-corruption law and she orders her dutiful
CEOs to boycott the State of Georgia, like we saw with Coca-Cola and
Major League Baseball and even Hollywood star, Will Smith.
“In this conference call, we see shades
of the Great Reset, Agenda 2030, the New World Order. The UN wants to
make sure, as does [World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman
Klaus] Schwab that in 2030, poverty, hunger, pollution and disease no
longer plague the Earth.
“To achieve this, the UN wants taxes from
Western countries to be split by the mega corporations of the elite to
create a brand-new society. For this project, the UN says we need a
world government — namely the UN, itself.”
As I’ve reviewed in many previous articles, it seems quite clear that the COVID-19 pandemic was orchestrated to bring about this New World Order
— the Great Reset — and the 45-minute video featured at the top of the
article does a good job of explaining how this was done. And at the
heart of it all, the “heart” toward which all global wealth streams
flow, we find BlackRock and Vanguard.
