Fact Checking

Sticklers,

  I'm continuing to chase the possibility that Israel DID strike harder at Iran last week than Iran let on, which holds open the possibility that the part-2 of that punch, a nuclear EMP strike via F-35, WAS actually shot down by Russia over Syrian airspace, as reported by Pepe Escobar.

  These 2 short videos, based upon Israeli news sources, (somewhat fawningly) make the claim that Israel hit the air defense radar near the Natanz nuclear complex last week: Israel used a half-ton supersonic Rampage missile to strike Iran

Direct Hit: Israel DESTROYED Iran's most expensive defense system with a magnificent missile strike!

​ Loss of narrative-control:  Jewish students refute claims of anti-Semitism at pro-Palestine protests​   Jewish students have refuted allegations levelled by pro-Israel members of US Congress and university officials that protests calling for their institutions to cut ties with companies linked to Israel over the war in Gaza were “anti-Semitic”.
​  New York State, its municipality and members of the US Congress claimed in recent statements that the pro-Palestine protesters at Columbia University campus in New York “demonstrated anti-Semitic behaviour”.
​  Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia and other US universities “anti-Semitic mobs” that are taking over “leading universities”.
​  While US House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia University and called those protesting “anti-Semitic … lawless agitators”.
​  Some 26 members of Congress sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling on him to “restore order at universities that have been effectively closed by anti-Semitic gangs targeting Jewish students.”
​  New York Mayor Eric Adams also said in a statement that he was “horrified and disgusted by the anti-Semitism” demonstrated at Columbia University protests.   However, Jewish students participating in the protests, which have been largely organised by pro-Palestine Jewish groups, categorically refuted the anti-Semitism allegations.
​  Jewish students wore t-shirts reading, “We are Jews who say stop shooting” in Gaza and even held Jewish Passover rituals to affirm their identity as Jews who oppose Israel’s policy towards the Palestinians.
​  In Bell University, hundreds of students gathered in the university’s main square and sat around a drawn paper symbolising the traditional “Seder banquet.”
​  Students raised banners reading “Empty Seder Plates, Stop Starving Gaza” and “Another Jew for a Free Palestine”.

​  Speaking in Istanbul, Khalil al-Hayya said Hamas would accept “a fully sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the return of Palestinian refugees in accordance with the international resolutions.” He said that Hamas wants to unite with Fatah, which heads the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian Liberation Organization, to form a unified government for Gaza and the West Bank.​ https://news.antiwar.com/2024/04/25/hamas-official-says-group-willing-to-disarm-for-two-state-solution/

​  Israel intensifies air strikes on Gaza’s Rafah before an expected ground operation   Israel stepped up air strikes on Rafah overnight after saying it would evacuate civilians from the southern Gazan city and launch an all-out assault despite allies’ warnings this could cause mass casualties.
​  Medics in the besieged Palestinian enclave reported five Israeli air strikes on Rafah early on April 25 that hit at least three houses, killing at least six people, including a local journalist.
​  “We are afraid of what will happen in Rafah. The level of alert is very high,” Palestinian Ambassador to the United Nations Ibrahim Khraishi said. “Some are leaving. They are afraid for their families, but where can they go? They are not being allowed to go to the north and so are confined to a very small area.”​   https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/israel-intensifies-airstrikes-on-gazas-rafah-before-ground-operation

​  The first 2 Ukrainian armies were destroyed. This unwillingly-conscripted Ukrainian "army" just wants to live, not to be bombed to death in trenches and ruins.  Scott Ritter: Hefty US Military Aid for Ukraine Won't Hamper Russia's Strategic Advantage   “This is the assessment of Ukraine's Foreign Minister [Dmytro] Kuleba, who has said that at this late stage in the game, there's no amount of military assistance that can stop the Russian advance. He's correct,” the Marine Corps intelligence officer underscored. Ritter also cited “talk of magic weapons” for the Zelensky regime, which he said would be of little help.
​  According to him, Russia currently enjoys "military superiority, if not outright supremacy, along the entire line of contact, not just on the front lines, but extending well into the rear areas of the Ukrainian defense areas."
He also explained that after the US weapons are delivered to Ukraine and brought up to the front line, the weaponry "will be subjected to increasing levels of interdiction."​  https://sputnikglobe.com/20240425/scott-ritter-hefty-us-military-aid-for-ukraine-wont-hamper-russias-strategic-advantage-1118110905.html

Furthermore, these missiles were actually put into use just a few days ago. Notably, the deployment was part of a $300 million military aid package for Ukraine ratified by President Joe Biden on March 12.​  https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2024/04/25/russia-well-move-further-west-due-to-mgm-140b-supply-to-ukraine/

​  Zelensky's last day as elected-president of Ukraine is May 20, 2024. No elections are scheduled.  Zelensky’s top rival has gone missing: Where is General Zaluzhny? The former Ukrainian commander-in-chief, slated to become ambassador in London, has been suspiciously absent from the public eye   Short of a convenient accident, Zelensky has no way of really stopping Zaluzhny. He’s dangerous to him in Ukraine and anywhere else as well. The president can try to sideline him but, even when he does, the ambitious, popular general remains very much in play. The more so when the war is going badly for Ukraine. Because, after all, Zelensky relieved Zaluzhny of responsibility just about when the worst was to come.​ https://www.rt.com/russia/596582-zaluzhny-zelensky-ukraine-rival/

  I'm not giving up. Where would I go?  America: Goodbye my Country , Paul Craig Roberts   The independence of doctors requires private practice. Private practice is being destroyed systematically by medical insurance, malpractice insurance, Medicare, Big Pharma, and the US Congress which panders to Big Pharma for campaign contributions. Medical doctors are being forced into becoming employees for HMOs where they have to follow their employer’s protocols or be fired. This means that they must abandon the Hippocratric Oath and follow the profit-enhancing practices of their employer HMOs. Big Pharma provides software for diagnosis and treatment, and doctors have to prescribe according to what Medicare and insurance companies will pay a percentage of the billing amount. Even doctors in private practice find that what they can prescribe and what operations they can perform is limited to insurance and Medicare decisions.
  During the orchestrated “Covid pandemic,” the entire propaganda operation was geared toward maximizing Big Pharma’s profits from the Covid “vaccine” and to cancelling people’s control over their own health care by imposing “vaccine” mandates. This was the first exercise in the imposition of mass tyranny in the Western World. Individual countries had experienced tyranny, but never before the entire Western world simultaneously.
​  In order to maximize Big Pharma’s profits and impose mass tyranny, it was necessary to prohibit two safe, effective, known preventatives and cures for Covid–hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. Doctors who successfully used these cures and preventatives to protect their patients were subject to persecution by medical authorities and governing boards. Some were fired from their HMO jobs and university medical schools, some were stripped of their licenses, some were prosecuted. In order to mass inject people with an untested “vaccine” under an emergency use order the requirement was that there were no cures. So, the fact that there were cures had to be suppressed. The utterly corrupt US medical establishment, the whore media and the Western governments suppressed the cures and ridiculed them as “horse medicine.”​  [This freed up my time to blog more.]​  https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/04/25/america-goodbye-my-country/

  ​A Midwestern Doctor, The Vast Pharmaceutical Conspiracy to Silence Online Dissent  Millions of dollars were spent to weaponize the public against all of us Story at a Glance:
•There has been a coordinated campaign to attack and defame anyone who has spoken out against the COVID-19 response. This has primarily been restricted to social media (e.g., getting people deplatformed) but it has also been weaponized in real life (e.g., getting medical licenses revoked).
•This coordinated campaign was the result of a “non-profit” known as The Public Good Project (PGP), which was actually directly linked to the pharmaceutical industry. The PGP used the industry funding it received to defend industry interests.
•Vaccine safety advocates were able to get into the group where these campaigns were coordinated. There, they discovered numerous public figures working hand in hand with healthcare workers to descend like a hive of bees on anyone “promoting misinformation.” Likewise, we learned that the most belligerent doctors we keep encountering on Twitter belonged to these groups.
•Some of the influencers advancing PGP’s message through “Shots Heard” (and its sister United Nations initiative “Team Halo”) were hucksters who faked their own credentials. My overall impression from looking at everything was that this group operated in a very similar manner to many of the sleazy internet marketing operations I’ve seen in the past. Fortunately, the public appears to be seeing through what they did.​
