Open The Containers

 On The Outside,



  Elizabeth Nickson explains the currency of evil. Thank You, Eleni.  A Radical Opening: A Terrible Evil
Western Civ cannot survive unless we fix it. We have to remove their fuel.
  This past week a video emerged of a girl running across a park in Vancouver, shouting that there were people locked in shipping containers in Vancouver’s vast port. This began a new movement which is called “open the shipping containers”, because, reportedly, one of the reasons for the threatened port strike was that people were locked in said shipping containers and port workers could hear them banging against the walls. There are, apparently, sections of every port where access is barred. But workers can hear the banging and the shouted appeals for rescue.
  Vancouver, Canada, is essentially run by a consortium of Asian criminal cartels, who have purchased the city via its lawyers, politicians and pet corporations. They move a great deal of Chinese fentanyl through the city’s massive port facility, the chemicals assembled into pills in factories outside the city, where white police don’t go (because equity). The cartels launder a great part of the continent’s drug money through the casinos in the city, and buy as many politicians as they can. Last week, the RCMP finally released a report that China was up to its neck funding its puppets in the last federal election, pushing 41 candidates, many of whom won...
..Despite that, this week, The Hogue Commission sealed the records of Beijing’s interference in Canadian politics for 99 years. It is just that bad. Sealed, I suspect, because so many of the country’s permanent bureaucracy were bribed. Asian gangs have infiltrated every institution, especially immigration where compromised bureaucrats have eased the entry of the most ferocious cartel members, people who should be in a SuperMax prison...
..Vancouver is the second or third most expensive city in the world, because so much drug and trafficking money is washed through its real estate, bidding up prices. Houses that sell for $2 million in Florida and $500K in Cleveland, sell for $10 or even $20 million in Vancouver’s West End... Those politicians not bought are asleep at the switch. They let this happen.
  Are the people from the shipping containers being harvested for their blood, their organs, their value as sex slaves or workers? Are their factories run by immigrants that make the drug, and are considered off-limits because immigrants get legal passes - again equity? I’d put money on it...
..Human trafficking is far more lucrative than drugs. People are used as regular slaves, the young as sexual slaves. Once worn out they can be sold for ritual sacrifice, or organ donors. Or ground up and put in the food supply; there are lists of products that contain human remains including fetal remains, which of course are in vaccines. The drug “ambrosia” or “gold juice” or adrenochrome, is made from the blood and essence of terrified people, preferably children and babies. It is thought to be used by celebrities for energy and to reverse aging. 
  Here is testimony of a victim put into a shipping container by her pimp to scare her into compliance. She was 14 at the time...
..You need a lot of terrified, adrenalin-rich people to make this drug and the demand is sky high. Making and selling it is done by members of the disgusting amalgam of secret societies that have so many names, they would fill this page, so let’s just call them Luciferian.
  Nick Bryant, the most reputable journalist following the wholesale trafficking of children, said that Damian Williams, the same attorney who squelched much of the Epstein case, is about to do the same for Diddy. Combs, like Epstein, was running a blackmail bank for a (who knows what) covert operation and had compromised thousands of powerful people with these parties. The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, will, if not stopped, cover up the full impact of the Diddy case as he did for Epstein...
..(The worst is) the wholesale trafficking of children in Child Protective Services, migrant children, and worst of all children bred to be trafficked. The number of missing migrant children from the four years of Biden’s open borders is thought to be about 325,000Combs, like Epstein, will go to jail for a long time (if he’s lucky) and his estate will be gutted by the young victims he predated, but the wholesale human trafficking he and Epstein facilitated won’t be touched...
..In the private sector, there are dozens of independent organizations, mostly Christian and mostly ex-military, who rescue children all across the States, but Attorneys-General, in general —the Attorney-General, in particular—do nothing. Why?...
..The Sean Combs case, if properly aired will do more than put a disreputable character away. It blows the lid off a deep deep shame, a societal cancer, a hidden plague that corrupts us all. And despite official slow walking, evidence accretes, most reliably first from a bodyguard who witnessed a lot of what happened. Names are being named and all Hollywood is engaged in crisis management, first claiming they only went to the nice parts of the parties, not the bad ones...
..Courtney Burgess, a hip hop producer, came forward with videos of eight celebrities, all under the influence, three of them minors having sex with Sean Combs. The videos were given him by the supposedly murdered mother of Comb’s children, Kim Porter...
..Will Smith’s daughter is publicly accusing him of repeatedly raping his son, her brother, throughout his childhood. Smith was a regular at Diddy’s as was his wife. In fact, think of a star that presents as a thoroughly friendly chappie (Hanks, Will, Cosby) and you find this...
..In its most reduced essence, what the celebrities, politicians, sports stars and senior bureaucrats compromised at the Diddy parties were up to was a form of Satanic Ritual Abuse. A procession of rooms greeted participants, each having a different purpose and a different more powerful drug...  These acts are supposed to feed the demons, to feed Lucifer, who then confers blessings on the perpetrator. Later, an even more exclusive invitation: deep underground, actual human sacrifice, and eating of the human, usually a child. Aside from the act itself bringing a perverted surge of energy, as does the blood of said child, human sacrifice is meant to confer worldly success beyond imaginings...
..All the stars named so far have lost millions of followers, leaving their various industries flattened. The rage, the hunt for justice is not coming from the top, it is coming from the “fans”, their clients, their audience. All the reporting is for the most part, citizen reportingThey know what’s been happening and they feel betrayed and very very angry....
..What this indicates is that our cultural product is almost entirely Luciferian and our “stars” and the people working in the so-called arts, abuse children as recreation and fuel. This ‘religion’ is global in its reach...There is an interactive map of SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse)... Behind each dot lie multiple first hand victim testimonies...
..In Hollywood, the head of the snake is said to be Clive Davis. Worldwide, the head of the snake, the Phoenix who rules over the entire world, Lucifer’s agent, is said to be Barack Obama. He is the new Mother of Darkness, taking over from George Soros... The world is divided into quadrants, each quadrant has a Mother of Darkness who confers directly with Satan...
..MKUltra or mind control was sourced in Satanic ritual, itself sourced from Sumer and Egypt by the Nazis, imported into the U.S. by Allan Dulles after Nuremberg, and spread throughout the schools from the 60’s onwards, via the ‘gifted’ program...
..The second purpose was to create “alters”, unknowing split personalities capable of performing specific tasks — sex operatives, assassins, psychics, political geniuses, math geniuses on command...
..This monster we just defeated in the U.S. is not what you think it is.   https://elizabethnickson.substack.com/p/a-radical-opening-a-terrible-evil

  Jim Rickards,  Your Trump Investment Guide   (He does not mention severe turbulence, but it is implied...)
Trump will pursue a twenty-first-century version of what was originally known as the American System.
  The American System was invented in 1790 by Alexander Hamilton and supported by a succession of U.S. presidents and leading political figures including George Washington, Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge, and Dwight Eisenhower...
..The American System relied on the following policies:
High tariffs to support manufacturing and high-paying jobs
Infrastructure investment (public and private) to support productivity
A strong army and navy to protect the U.S. but not to fight foreign wars
A central bank with limited powers to provide liquidity to commerce

  To the extent there was government spending, it was for productive projects such as canal and road building and later to support railroads. To the extent that early central banks existed, they were for secure lending to sound entities (including the U.S. government) and not for purposes such as printing money, fixing interest rates or “stimulus.” The entire program could be summarized as sound money, smart investment and a strong military in the service of high-paying American jobs.
  The American System prevailed from 1790 to 1962 with occasional periods of agrarian ascendency and some disruptions such as the Civil War...
..Foreign companies will be free to sell goods to Americans but only if they are manufactured in the U.S. This will lead to a wave of inbound investment in the U.S., a reduction in U.S. trade deficits, a stronger dollar (as the world demands dollars to invest here), and higher wages for U.S. workers. Higher wages will raise real incomes, stimulate consumption, decrease income inequality and expand the tax base to help reduce deficits without raising tax rates.
​  A Trump Portfolio
Sectors that will benefit from the return of the American System 
include:
Oil and natural gas drilling, production, and refining. This sector will benefit from Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” policies.​..
Mining (gold, silver, copper, lithium). Industrial metals will be in increased demand related to the expansion of U.S. manufacturing.​..
Defense and National Security. This will especially benefit defense and intelligence contractors with extensive R&D programs. The U.S. does not need more obsolete weapons​...
Automobile manufacturing. Foreign manufacturers will face huge tariffs. This will include Mexican manufacturers that are fronts for China.​..
Cryptocurrency plays. Trump will ease SEC and other regulatory constraints on cryptocurrency mining, distribution and use.
Banking and finance. As the economy grows, banks profit as intermediaries without the need for high leverage and high risk.
Trucking and airlines. These sectors will benefit from lower prices for refined products such as diesel and aviation fuel (basically kerosene).
​  Sectors that will underperform in a new Trump administration will be Big Pharma and Big Agriculture under the motto of Make America Healthy Again.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will lead this effort. Elon Musk will also lead an effort at government efficiency, which will hurt the profits of government contractors in sectors such as health care, education, and the Green New Scam (including EVs, and windmill manufacturers). DEI initiatives will wither and die. Portfolios that invest heavily in China or use ESG metrics will underperform.​

​  SCOTT RITTER: Tulsi Gabbard & the Trump Revolution
Gabbard is well positioned to become the most influential advisor to President Trump regarding the critical foreign policy and national security problems that will be faced by his administration.
​  Gabbard, who serves as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves and has served in combat in Iraq, is somehow deemed “un-American” for daring to speak out against bad policy.
​  It doesn’t matter that history has shown her criticisms to be well-founded.​ Or that the ability to make pragmatic, accurate analysis of complex national security problems free of partisan bias is exactly the trait one seeks in an intelligence officer, especially one entrusted with personally briefing the president of the United States.​

​  Tulsi Gabbard Right Pick to Shake-Up US Spy Agiencies – CIA Veteran
​  The CIA veteran said much of the dissent comes from inside the ‘intelligence community’, including active officers and former staff of organizations like the CIA and NSA.
Objections to Gabbard’s nomination have focused on her lack of intelligence experience, claiming she will "be unable to perceive problems among an unruly 18-member intelligence community," the pundit said.
​  But Giraldi countered that she was "smart, experienced and capable enough to gather her own staff around her that will guide her way through the shoals of Washington DC."​ "To my mind, she is an excellent choice, coming from outside of the intelligence community 'club,' and could be an effective and ethical DNI," he added.
The former CIA officer noted that Gabbard is viewed as a "peace candidate" for her opposition to endless overseas wars, the US military occupation of parts of Syria and the demonization of China. But she is also known for her support for Israel, currently waging a war against the Palestinian territory of Gaza.
​  "It is likely that Trump appointed her to shake up the intel community, which is regarded by many as the black heart of the deep state," Giraldi said. "She will, of course, be both helped and handicapped by being provided with plenty of 'direction' by a president who is fundamentally ignorant of foreign policy and national security issues."​

  Kyle Young argues: There Will Be No Pandemic For Four Years
​  Last week I pointed out that Trump’s transition team cochair, Howard Lutnik, was heavily invested in carbon credits through his business Cantor Fitzgerald, and that we could expect a Trump presidency that favors that misguided program. What I didn’t mention was that in an interview with Kiatlan Collins, Lutnik said Trump would not be appointing RFK Jr, to run HHS. Apparently that set off some major grumbling with Trump and RFK Jr. As we all now know, Trump ignored Lutnik and tapped RFK Jr. to head-up HHS...
..If RFK Jr. gets confirmed by the senate, if Trump allows him to do what he wants to do and if he follows through with his promises, he’ll be in a position to put an end to the collusion that has existed between government agencies and Big Pharma, collusion that led to scams like the covid plandemic. This will not be a cakewalk. The hooks the medical and military industrial complexes have into the system are firmly anchored. We can expect a big battle in the Senate for RFK’s confirmation to head up HHS. Even if he does get confirmed, the powers that shouldn’t be will throw everything they have at him while he holds that position...  
..Trump can be expected to once again discontinue the US role as the largest funder of the WHO. With Bill Gates now facing legal battles from several quarters regarding his medical crimes, his position as the second largest WHO funder comes into question. Given that US taxpayer funding for organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, GAVI and other Gates NGO’s comes under the direction of HHS, and given the scathing things RFK Jr had to say about Gates in his book about Fauci, it’s doubtful he’ll authorize any further funding of any Gates affiliated organizations. That might be enough to sufficiently cripple the WHO and prevent it from serving as the headquarters for another world-wide medical pandemic coup d’état over the next four years...
..I can’t stress enough the outsized roles these Acts have played in allowing the deep state to function illegally, outside of Constitutional jurisdiction. Covidcon provides the perfect example. Taken as a whole, these Acts paved the way for the medical/military industrial complex to enact a world-wide coup d’état with covid...
​..These Acts need to be brought forward into the consciousness of the US public. With RFK Jr. running HHS there may never be a better time discuss how to dismantle them. If they don’t get dismantled, the next president could use them to impose another coup...
..The Prep Act played a critically important role in allowing the deep state to enact covidcon. It was signed into law by president Bush Jr. in 2005. The Prep Act gives the head of HHS the authority to bypass congress and make law by declaring a pandemic...
​..In April of 2020 Trump signed an update to the PREP Act which provided liability immunity to makers of “covid countermeasures”. As I’ve explained before, there were never any covid “vaccines”, they were countermeasures, which is a military term applied to interventions used in warfare to counteract poisoning from biological weapons.
​  The mind warp in which these psychopaths function goes something like this: To understand how to make a countermeasure one needs to make the bioweapon. This is how DARPA, the CDC (a uniformed agency) and other agencies got into the bioweapon business. As the previous links show, this is why in mid 2021 I began calling the covid jabs bioweapons...
..As I also pointed out back in 2021, the covid mRNA technology was developed by DARPA, the research wing of the DoD. From the get-go, covid was a military operation, which explains why the military was in charge of distributing the jabs...
..A key element the pharma cartels needed to impose their profitable sick-care and eugenics agenda upon the US was the National Childhood Protection Act. In 1986 Ronald Reagan signed this deadly law into effect. Since then this Act has been responsible for the injury and deaths of millions of US children...
..Because so very few people understand this history, few understand what’s about to occur. Here’s what it boils down to. If he’s approved by the Senate, RFK Jr. will hold the premier position (head of HHS) that was designed by the deep state to be held by a big pharma industry insider. This is why I think RFK’s Senate confirmation will be an epic battle for the ages.
​  If he gets confirmed, it seems certain he’ll not be declaring any pandemics.​

​  Who ‘jammed’ the F-35 over Iran? The S-300 or the Pentagon?
  On October 25 and 26, 2024, Israel conducted a series of airstrikes against key Iranian military sites in retaliation for a large-scale missile escalation initiated by Tehran. The targets of the strikes included missile systems, infrastructure, and command posts, all deemed strategically significant for Iran’s military operations. This action followed the launch of more than 200 ballistic missiles by Iran aimed at Israel, further intensifying the tensions between the two nations and deepening their conflict...
..Despite the scale and intensity of Israel’s airstrikes, the effects were far less impactful than initially anticipated. The damage inflicted on the Iranian military infrastructure was minimal, raising suspicions about the effectiveness of the Israeli attack. Many analysts were puzzled by the relatively restrained outcome of the operation, given that Israeli forces reportedly deployed around 100 advanced fighter jets...
​..According to reports from Defense Arabic, Israeli intelligence has pointed to Iran’s air defense capabilities as the key reason for the restricted effect of the airstrikes on October 25 and 26. Specifically, it is suggested that Iran’s air defense systems successfully thwarted the attack launched by Israeli fighter jets, particularly the advanced F-35 Adir aircraft...
..According to Defense Arabic, reports suggest that Israeli F-35s were “jammed” by Iranian air defense radars while flying over Iraqi airspace, far from their intended targets in Iran. These sources claim that, at this point, the Israeli jets were still hundreds of kilometers away from the Iranian border. The ability of Iran’s air defense systems to detect the Israeli jets at such a distance was an unexpected development for Israeli military planners.
​  Israeli intelligence sources have indicated that Russian and Iranian air defense systems are capable of targeting Israeli jets at long ranges, potentially intercepting them well before they enter Iranian airspace. This would allow Iran to counter Israeli operations far from its own borders.
​  Reports from Defense Arabic highlight that the Israeli jets may have been hundreds of miles away from their primary targets in Iran, coming close to the maximum range of the air-launched ballistic missiles [ALBM] such as the “Rock” and “Blue Sparrow.”​

Houthi forces attacked two American destroyers with drones and missiles as the ships transited the Bab el-Mandeb Strait entering the Gulf of Aden on Monday, a Pentagon spokesman said today.
  The Houthis launched at least eight one-way uncrewed aerial systems, five anti-ship ballistic missiles and three anti-ship cruise missiles at USS Spruance (DDG-111) and USS Stockdale (DDG-106), which engaged all the projectiles, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters on Tuesday. U.S. Central Command has not yet issued a statement.
  There were no injuries or damage to the two destroyers...
..Houthi spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Sare’e claimed the attack on the two destroyers was successful in a post on social media site X. Sare’e also said the Houthis attacked USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Arabian Sea. Ryder said was not aware of any attacks against the aircraft carrier.

​  Alastair Crooke,  There are no “Easy Wars” left to fight, but do not mistake the longing for one
​  Israelis, as a whole, are exhibiting a rosy assurance that they can harness Trump, if not to the full annexation of the Occupied Territories (Trump in his first term did not support such annexation), but rather, to ensnare him into a war on Iran. Many (even most) Israelis are raring for war on Iran and an aggrandisement of their territory (devoid of Arabs). They are believing the puffery that Iran ‘lies naked’, staggeringly vulnerable, before a U.S. and Israeli military strike.
​  Trump’s Team nominations, so far, reveal a foreign policy squad of fierce supporters of Israel and of passionate hostility to Iran. The Israeli media term it a ‘dream team’ for Netanyahu. It certainly looks that way.

​  The Israel Lobby could not have asked for more. They have got it. And with the new CIA chief, they get a known ultra China hawk as a bonus.
​  But in the domestic sphere the tone is precisely the converse: The key nomination for ‘cleaning the stables’ is Matt Gaetz as Attorney General; he is a real “bomb thrower”. And for the Intelligence clean-up, Tulsi Gabbard is appointed as Director of National Intelligence. All intelligence agencies will report to her, and she will be responsible for the President’s Daily briefing. The intel assessments may thus begin to reflect something closer to reality.
​  The deep Inter-Agency structure has reason to be very afraid; they are panicking – especially over Gaetz.​..
​..The old nemesis that paralysed his first term again faces Trump. Then, during the Ukraine impeachment process, one witness (Vindman), when asked why he would not defer to the President’s explicit instructions, replied that whilst Trump has his view on Ukraine policy, that stance did NOT align with that of the ‘Inter-Agency’ agreed position. In plain language, Vindman denied that a U.S. president has agency in foreign policy formulation.
​  In short, the ‘Inter-Agency structure’ was signalling to Trump that military support for Ukraine must continue.

​  When the Washington Post published their detailed story of a Trump-Putin phone call – that the Kremlin emphatically states never happened – the deep structures of policy were simply telling Trump that it would be they who determine what the shape of the U.S. ‘solution’ for Ukraine would be.
​  Similarly, when Netanyahu boasts to have spoken to Trump and that Trump “shares” his views regarding Iran, Trump was being indirectly instructed what his policy towards Iran needs to be. All the (false) rumours about appointments to his Team too, were but the interagency signalling their choices for his key posts.​..
..So, is the packing of his Administration with ‘Israel Firsters’ an indication that Trump is edging toward a ‘Realist’s Faustian pact’ to destroy Iran in order to cripple China’s energy supply source (90% from Iran), and thus weaken China? – Two birds with one stone, so to speak? ...
..The U.S. public has not internalized the costs of the U.S. losing its position as the world superpower. The U.S. must therefore engage globally with a presence—military, diplomatic, and economic—to preserve influence worldwide.
​  Indeed, as one respected commentator has noted, the ‘Empire at all Costs’ cult (i.e. the RAND Organisation zeitgeist) is now “more desperate than ever to find a war it can fight to restore its fortunes and prestige”.
​  And China would be altogether a different proposition for a demonstrative act of destruction in order “to preserve U.S. influence worldwide” – for the U.S. is “not prepared” for serious conflict with its peer adversaries: Russia or China, RAND says.​..
..The point that the commentator above makes is that there are no ‘easy wars’ left to fight. And that the reality (brutally outlined by RAND) is that the U.S. can choose one – and only one war to fightTrump may not want any war, but the Lobby grandees – all supporters of Israel, if not active Zionists supporting the displacement of Palestinians – want war. And they believe they can get one.
​  Put starkly and plainly: Has Trump thought this through?​

​  Meryl Nass MD,  It turns out that the WHO's International Health Regulations amendments were doomed to failure until an 11th hour intervention
Here's another name to add to the list of the very top people employing public health to cement the globalist agenda.
​  Now I want to repeat what Gostin said about the WHO’s negotiation of the IHR amendments on June 1, the final day of the World Health Assembly. Recall that the diplomats had been unable to make a deal. Below is as close to verbatim as I could make it, taking notes as fast as possible while Mr. Gostin spoke:
​  “The IHR negotiations were collapsing. We thought they would collapse. Then US HHS Secretary Becerra came into the room and said the USA would be walking away from this if we didn’t adopt it now, on the very last day. And then they did.”
​  So that’s how it happened. It should have failed. But the big bully came in and said he was taking his toys and going home if everybody didn’t cooperate. Reminds me of VP Biden threatening Ukraine’s former PM that if the prosecutor investigating Burisma (where Hunter was on the Board) wasn’t fired in a couple of hours, Biden would be taking his billion dollar deal home.
​  We now have IHR amendments that, while watered down, are still more intrusive than we like. President Trump will be able to reject them, hopefully along with the WHO and Pandemic Treaty negotiations. The January 2022 US proposal on the earlier IHR amendments was to give nations only 6 months to reject new amendments. Had the US been able to get that through (it couldn’t), then by the time Trump took office it would have been too late to reject them.​

​  Puberty involves much more than the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as breasts, facial hair, and a deep voice. It also plays a critical role in the maturation of the brain, including the parts responsible for executive functioning/control and attention, learning, memory, and emotional processing.
​  If this critical window is missed, there is no evidence that development can catch up later.
​  Research on the neurocognitive effect of “gender-affirming” care such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones is very sparseAnimal studies show a detrimental effect on learning, the development of social behaviors, and responses to stress.
​  One small human study showed a decrease of both performance IQ and full-scale IQ after three years. The average 7-point decline was called “not clinically relevant,” but at least one patient experienced a loss of 15 IQ points or more, from 138 to 123. For comparison, an average loss of 3 points from leaded gasoline was considered extremely significant.​

So Make Americans Healthy Already

 Avoiding Most Poisons,


  A useful model of human societies is that they are ecosystems, and part of larger ecosystems, and that since we learned farming, and became like grazing-animals on the land, our groups were prone to "overgraze" and also to starve from droughts and climate change events. Natural ecosystems with herbivores are typically regulated by apex-predators eating the weaker herbivores. We soon had kings, nobles, generals and financiers to cooperatively fill the apex-predator role of killing lots of people when times got bad. 
  This came to be arranged as groups and predators attacking the members of nearby groups to take their productive farmland and other trophies.  Under the Popes there arose a model of war which incorporated transnational financiers, who would then be paid from looting of Constantinople, for instance.  This facilitated bigger wars than ever, and reached its apogee when entire nations could be held to account to pay for massive war loans for World War-1 and the resulting World War-2.
  Since energy resources and good copper ores are in decline, another mode of mass culling, one that won't destroy valuable infrastructure and advanced economies, is necessary to maintain this mode of ecosystem management.

  Professor Ugo Bardi posted this article almost 2 years ago now, in January 2023. The Age of Exterminations: How to Kill a Few Billion People   https://www.senecaeffect.com/2023/01/the-age-of-exterminations-how-to-kill.html

  Trump Nominates RFK Jr. For HHS Secretary
  The 70-year-old Kennedy has been a longtime health advocate who Trump said he would let "go wild," should he win the November 5 election.
"He’s going to help make America healthy again. … He wants to do some things, and we’re going to let him get to it," Trump said during his victory speech. "Go have a good time, Bobby."
  In a post to Truth Social, Trump said:
  I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!
  That said, Politico suggested that Kennedy "may still face a steep slope to confirmation" over his fight against overvaccination, and his book accusing former NIH official Anthony Fauci of conspiring with Bill Gates and drugmakers to sell COVID-19 vaccines.
  Kennedy says he isn't taking vaccines away from anyone - he just wants to ensure they're safe.

  Paul Craig Roberts,  Trump Picks RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services
  This is a victory even if Big Pharma, wielding its campaign contributions, forces the Senate to refuse to confirm Kennedy in office.  Trump can go to the public with the names of the bought-and-paid-for corrupt Senators and ask why Americans elect people who knowingly serve corporate criminals who knowingly damage the health of the American people.  The nomination of Kennedy is the most powerful of all of Trump’s appointments, with Matt Gaetz’s being second.
  We will now see if the Republican Senate is with Trump or against Trump and the American people.  If the Senate consents to recess appointment of Trump’s team, they are with the President.  If they do not, they are against him and are part of the deadly enemy he and we must defeat.
  Kennedy’s nomination restores my hope that Trump might achieve something. Trump,  Kennedy, Gaetz, and Gabbard are fighters, a rarity in a Republican administration.

Remember when Biden's Transportation Security Administration placed Tulsi on the Quiet Skies program—a domestic terror watch list?
  RAY McGOVERN: Will Gabbard Be Able to Direct the Intelligence ‘Community’?
  Will DNI Tulsi Gabbard (assuming she is confirmed by the Senate) step up to this task? It would take uncommon courage. Was the current DNI, Avril Haines, informed beforehand that the C.I.A. would blow up the Nord Stream pipelines? If so, did she give it her blessing? Or was she kept in the dark?
  My guess is that DNI Gabbard would have promptly recognized the folly in that C.I.A. “can-do” attitude/escapade and would have briefed the president on its longer-term implications. She is a good listener to analysts who she asks to brief her. I know that, too, from personal experience responding to her questions when she was one of Hawaii’s representatives in the House.
  It would take a courageous and politically astute person and strong backing and trust from the president for any DNI to be able to fulfill the duty to  “oversee and provide advice … on covert action programs.”

The nominations must be confirmed by the Senate, which the Republicans regained control over in this year’s election.
  Moscow has said it is open to dialogue, but has ruled out freezing the conflict, insisting that the goals of its military operation – including Ukrainian neutrality, demilitarization, and denazification – must be met.

  "Alternative for Germany" is against the Ukraine war.  Support For Germany's AfD Continues To Soar Amid Calls For Election Ban By Political Opponents
The AfD’s growing popularity is particularly pronounced in eastern Germany, where Weidel leads with 27 percent support.
  In addition to political opponents, some analysts point to international parallels, drawing comparisons between the AfD’s rise and similar populist movements in other parts of the West. Insa managing director Hermann Binkert noted that the “Trump effect” and dissatisfaction with the current coalition government’s policies have played a key role in boosting the party’s standing.
  The outcome of the motion to ban the AfD could have profound implications for the political landscape, not only in Germany but throughout Europe.
  As Remix News previously reported, most of the German establishment is working towards a ban, but there is disagreement about the pace and timing of such a banSome are also worried that the ban will backfire and make the AfD more popular than ever. For one, a ban could take years, and second, the country’s top court may reject the ban, which would be a catastrophic outcome for the German establishment.

  Gilbert Doctorow, What is the Kremlin saying about Trump’s nominees for his ‘power ministries’
  The single most important observation by ‘the Kremlin’ is that all of the key nominees, namely Mike Waltz for National Security Advisor, Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense; John Ratcliffe at the CIA, and (presumably) Marco Rubio as Secretary of State are soft on Russia and hard on China. This all supports the notion that Donald Trump genuinely wants to end the Ukraine war as soon as possible so that he can focus U.S: foreign policy on this other greater concern, and in this connection he is likely to respond positively to Russia’s terms for peace, including their claims to the Donbas and Novaya Rossiya oblasts that they have annexed and their demand that Ukraine be a neutral state without any prospects of joining NATO, without having foreign troops and installations on their territory.
​  Under the same logic, the Kremlin assumes that the USA under Trump however pro-Israeli it may be, will press Israel to de-escalate its campaigns in Lebanon and Gaza, and to conclude cease-fires as soon as possible. Moreover, the Kremlin does not expect the enmity towards Iran among several of those named in the Trump team to translate into hostilities of any kind. Indeed, given his pleasure in doing the unexpected, as was the case in his dealings with the North Korean leader, Trump is seen as possibly opening a dialogue with Teheran now and reducing tensions there.
​  Otherwise Nikonov and his panelists reported with some amusement on the likely changes at the Pentagon both before the confirmation in the Senate of Hegseth and after. They mentioned specifically the firing of the generals and others responsible for the debacle of America’s exit from Afghanistan and the purge of generals who in one way or another owed their promotions to the ideological agenda of the Democrats favoring gender equality, nontraditional sexual orientation and the like over merit.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/11/13/what-is-the-kremlin-saying-about-trumps-nominees-for-his-power-ministries/

​  “He talked one thing during the campaign about ending needless wars. And yet he is staffing himself with really a lot of young people who are locked up with old ideas,” Johnson noted.
​  In his opinion, Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, is “just an absurd joke.” Florida Сongressman Michael Waltz, tapped as Trump’s national security advisor, is also “a disaster,” Johnson argued, underscoring that he “represents everything that Donald Trump said that Donald Trump stood against.”​

​  Is Israel’s Annexation of the West Bank Underway?
​  Since 75% of the settlers are ultra-orthodox (over 500,000), in recent years a dangerous symbiosis has developed in the occupied territories of Palestine between the political leaders of the settlers and the rabbis who have for decades preached their opposition to any territorial commitment to the Palestinians. They have tried to give a religious justification to the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
​  Operation “Annexation of the West Bank” was reportedly launched after the bloody Hamas attack on 7 October and nearly 700 Palestinians have already died as a result of Israeli army operations and attacks by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
​  For his part, the new Minister of Defence, Israel Katz, last August proposed “to temporarily evacuate the West Bank in order to thwart terrorist infrastructures by taking all necessary measures, including forced displacement,” of the Palestinian population settled in the West Bank.​

​  A Midwestern Doctor writes about what was generally known by researchers to be true in 1982 when I started med school.  The Great Dangers of Statins
Examining the questionable risks and benefits behind these massively overprescribed drugs
​  Story at a Glance:
​  One of the biggest misconceptions is that cholesterol causes heart disease and that statins, which lower cholesterol, prevent it. Not only is this untrue, but the highly profitable statins are also among the most harmful pharmaceuticals available (and share many eerie parallels to the COVID vaccines).
​  Despite growing evidence that lowering cholesterol does not reduce heart disease, the medical industry continues to push statins. Studies have shown that the benefits of statins are minimal, with data manipulated to exaggerate their effectiveness.
​  Statins are aggressively promoted, not because of their efficacy, but due to financial interests in the pharmaceutical industry. Guidelines on cholesterol and statins are often created by experts who have conflicts of interest. Many doctors and patients are penalized for not adhering to these guidelines.
​  Statins cause significant harm, with side effects like muscle pain, cognitive issues, and even life-threatening conditions such as diabetes and liver dysfunction. Despite widespread patient reports of these injuries, the medical community often dismisses them, attributing them to a "nocebo effect" or imagining the problem.​

​  The Ethical Skeptic has presented most of this data before, but it is very well laid out here.  “Omicron” Predated SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan by Years
​  Evidence which cannot be ignored or dismissed by competent science, regarding the preexistence of a proto-form of COVID-19—later misleadingly designated as a singular variant, “Omicron”—is presented below. This evidence demands scrutiny and incorporation into any valid hypothesis addressing the origins and evolution of SARS-CoV-2.
​  We contend that, based on ample, consilient, and diverse deductive evidence, the series of widely varied background viruses first identified in November 2021—and misleadingly labeled as the single variant, “Omicron”—were, in fact, the background set of SARS-CoV-2a viruses. These viruses trace their common ancestor to a time over two years prior (July 2017) to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2b Wuhan, initially detected on November 17, 2019, in Wuhan, China.​   https://theethicalskeptic.com/2024/11/13/omicron-predated-sars-cov-2-wuhan-by-years/#respond
