Neurotic shut-ins like Walker won't be happy until everyone is under de facto house arrest, actual prisoners are in cells 23 hrs w/o trial, govt's stop educating poor youth, African economies go deeper into debt, Amazon stock soars & masses starve so they can feel "safe" /Thread
We cited experts across the political spectrum who have been right about the insanity of lockdowns, including @DrJBhattacharya.

Also quoted was noted right-winger Christian Parenti, who captures "left" Branch Covidian cultists like @WalkerBragman well thegrayzone.com/2021/12/03/fla…
Dishonest Covidian neurotics like Walker can't openly discuss the pointless brutality & poverty that millions across the globe were subjected to under lockdown, especially the poor & minorities in the US-EU, so he resorts to framing all criticism as far-right.

Some hard facts
As Klaus Schwab's codpiece, @WalkerBragman wants everyone locked down forever with some UBI crumbs off the Davos table.

Yet even w/some economic support, millions missed medical screenings and cancers are surging, while more fell into opioid addiction, suicide, violence & death
I doubt @WalkerBragman knows what it's like to raise a child, but those who do - and their kids - have suffered immensely under lockdowns that punished the global poor most harshly.
Walter wants more kids failing reading, math, and to be de-educated so he can feel "safe"
Lockdowns in the global north impacted the global south, where neoliberal govts also locked down

"Left" Covidians were silent on Colombian families like this, who put a red flag on their home to signal hunger & distress under lockdown.

Our 2020 report: thegrayzone.com/2020/05/27/col…
This is rich! @WalkerBragman rushes to the defense of the most discredited man in Covid-business: Neil Ferguson, who now admits his Bill Gates-sponsored Imperial College model was way off, just like every other pandemic model he produced.
I'm not sure what explains @WalkerBragman's mediocre journalistic output.

Besides doing zero field work, his reading is poor.

We cited this study to demonstrate that public health scholars had warned PRIOR to the pandemic of the social and economic damage lockdowns could do.
Neurotic online left-libs like @WalkerBragman have been silent about the cost of lockdowns while clamoring for them incessantly from behind laptops.
And today, they view the mass uprisings vs the Covid power grab from Guadeloupe to Italy with contempt.
I don't expect hysterical Covidians like Walker to give our piece a fair reading.
It's too much to expect them to reckon with their delusions & dishonesty in the face of evidence that lockdowns are a public health failure that brutalized the global poor. thegrayzone.com/2021/12/03/fla…
Not a fan of this account, but it does seem relevant that this is where @WalkerBragman will spend the lockdown he hysterically clamors for while millions of others are push to the brink of eviction, joblessness, desperation and death.

What an absolute fraud.

The suspects behind attacks that helped trigger a national antisemitism freakout in Australia turn out to be apolitical scofflaws who've "never mentioned Israel or Palestine" and "wouldn't have the brains" to plan the attacks on their own

Aussie politicians painted the discovery of explosives in a caravan as a massive planned antisemitic terror attack

It turns out to have been an an old stolen cache reported by prison inmates seeking a reduced sentence sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/politicia…Image

Then there was the embarrassingly failed manufacturing of antisemitism by Ofir Birenbaum, a Zionist operative who was escorted by Murdoch media as he attempted to provoke staff at Cairo Cafe in Sydney

Tony Blinken has already sustained two long interruptions during his closing Atlantic Council speech touting his own Middle East accomplishments: “Your legacy is genocide!” one protester shouted, causing Blinken to pause for over a minute.

This is the scene outside.
Blinken’s speech is a narcissistic Zionist rant, blaming Hamas for “hiding behind civilians” and refusing to “put down its arms” and end its struggle. It is a call for total Palestinian subjugation and ultimately an effort to polish his own bloodstained record. He urges empathy for Israelis, while painting Palestinians as a historic roadblock to US regional ambitions. Painting himself as a moderate caught between extremes, he openly wonders if he applied too much pressure on Israel to show restraint. A disgraceful curtain call evidencing a lack of self awareness capped with an empty call for peace.
Protester to Blinken: “Your policy for the Middle East - kill, kill, kill, and kill, just like the Israelis say!”

This is an obviously staged and fake scene by one of the biggest regime change frauds in corporate media. This prison had already been cleared out by HTS goon squads days earlier, then civilians scoured its cells for relatives. But somehow Clarissa Ward, the news actress who once faked being under direct fire by Hamas, and who has spent over a decade shamelessly propagandizing for the jihadists now executing minorities in Latakia, just happened upon the last prisoner slumbering under a blanket. This scam scenario reminds me of the time Ward's colleague, Arwa Damon, determined that Assad used chemical weapons by sniffing a child's backpack, and of the countless blatant deceptions deployed by the Syrian opposition on its way toward become the new gangster government. Journalist flim-flam like not only exposes the absence of editorial standards at CNN, it raises questions about the credibility of Ward's past pieces trumping up regime change in other countries targeted by US and UK intelligence.Image

CNN’s @clarissaward testified at the UN in 2017 as a guest of the US govt to clamor for regime change in Syria

There, she described “Islamist factions” like Jolani’s Al-Nusra as “heroes on the ground”
Great 🧵on CNN's shamelessly staged atrocity propaganda scene

Here are the Israeli Nazis chanting for the slaughter of Arab children after tearing down Palestinian flags and refusing to honor the moment of silence for Valencia

Sounds like some locals got fed up with these demons and decided to take out the trash
Many videos going around of Israeli soccer goons vandalizing property in Amsterdam, attacking cops and bystanders, and ripping down Palestinian flags. Now this fascist infestation is playing the victim and waiting for airlifts back to the colonies.
Absolute trash. It sickens me that propagandists are conflating these colonial demons with the entire Jewish world.

Would-be Trump shooter Ryan Routh has published a 291 page book, “Unwinnable War,” about his time in Ukraine’s Int’l Legion

Routh says he’d like to see Putin assassinated, seems to hope for Trump’s assassination as well, and calls for the US to “instigate” a nuclear war with Russia

Stating he’s neither a Democrat or Republican, Routh’s clearly articulated mindset toward Russia mirrors that of Beltway hardliners. He offers gushing admiration for Juan Guaido, the Free Syrian Army, Myanmar rebels, and other CIA backed forces, while hinting at a friendship with MSNBC natsec hack and fellow International Brigade member Malcolm Nance.Image
Ryan Routh calls for the assassination of Putin and Lukashenko of Belarus, arguing that their killing would bring on the demise of the Russian’s state’s viability as an independent power, as no one can succeed Putin


Image

Routh urges the West to “instigate” a nuclear conflict with Russia and “strike first.” He wants a “quick and decisive and powerful blow to end it once and for all,” as the US did at the end of WWII.

Today, Pramila Patten will launder the “Hamas mass rape” hoax through the UN

Patten was hosted and coached by Israel’s Foreign Ministry and Yossi Landau, the infamous ZAKA liar who fabricated tales of a fetus cut from a pregnant woman, beheaded babies and more

Image
Image
Image
According to ZAKA, Patten’s visit was the result of Israel lobby pressure on the UN

Her tour was overseen by ZAKA and Landau, notorious fabulists who gifted her with a “Never Again” plaque which she wore around her neck
Image
Image
In 2022, Patten falsely claimed Russia was giving Viagra to its soldiers to rape Ukrainian women

She later fell for a prank call during which she admitted she had no evidence for the claim, and was a dupe for Ukrainian propaganda
