Introduction to The Genetic Deception (2026)

The Genetic Deception is a book about the fifth and most formidable wall of modern medical extraction. The first four walls — vaccination, allopathic medicine, bacteriology, and virology — have all been seen through by some readers, some of the time. The genetics wall captures even those who have seen through the rest, because the genetics wall is the wall that wears your face. To question a genetic diagnosis can feel like questioning your own existence.

The book documents what the genetic framework conceals.

It examines what the Human Genome Project actually delivered after thirty years and billions of dollars: more than seven hundred genome-wide association studies across approximately eighty diseases, all converging on the same finding — the genetic contribution to common disease is at most five to ten percent of risk. The architects of the field have themselves abandoned the predictive ambitions that justified the original investment. Francis Collins, who led the Project, scanned his own genome and found his risk estimates for almost every disease were within population averages. The architect of the field looked at his own results and found them clinically useless.

It examines the foundations of the molecule itself. The iconic image of the double helix has never been directly observed. The 2001 announcement that the human genome had been “sequenced” was made on the basis of computer-assembled composites with eight to ten percent gaps. The first truly complete human genome was not published until 2023. Standard DNA extraction protocols applied to protein powder produce the same precipitate the protocols produce when applied to actual cells.

It examines forensic DNA testing. When NIST was finally forced to conduct a blinded study, only six percent of one hundred and eight accredited forensic laboratories reached the correct conclusion on a three-person mixture. Seventy percent incorrectly indicated that the test suspect “might be in the mix.” The technology has been used in courtrooms claiming 99.8 percent accuracy for decades and has put people in prison.

It examines specific conditions. Familial hypercholesterolemia, presented as a genetic death sentence requiring lifelong statin compliance, has been tracked across two centuries of Dutch mortality data showing no significant elevation in all-cause mortality compared with the general population. BRCA1, the foundation of an entire industry of preventive mastectomies, was launched on a 1994 paper that itself documented every studied family containing at least one woman with the “cancer-causing mutation” who lived to age 80 without cancer. Between thirty-five and fifty-five percent of those who test positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2 sequence differences never develop the disease. Down syndrome was linked in 1964 to parental radiation exposure — to excess X-rays given to pregnant women and to fathers working near radar — research that the establishment has chosen not to integrate into present screening protocols.

It examines the institutional lineage. Francis Galton published Hereditary Genius in 1869, the same year Friedrich Miescher scraped pus from surgical bandages and called the precipitate “nuclein.” The Rockefeller Foundation funded the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes through the 1920s and 1930s, the institutions whose researchers wrote the Nazi sterilisation laws. After the Second World War, “eugenics” became a dirty word; the institutions did not disappear but renamed themselves. The Eugenics Quarterly became Social Biology. The British Eugenics Society became the Galton Institute, then the Adelphi Genetics Forum. The American Eugenics Society moved its headquarters into the New York offices of John D. Rockefeller III’s Population Council. The personnel and the project continued under the new names. What has reached your doctor’s office is the descendant of this lineage.

The book follows the evidence across all of this and arrives at the same picture from every direction. The genetic framework, as currently constituted and applied, does not deserve the authority it has claimed.

The Appendices | Reference Material the Reader Returns To

The book closes with six appendices that function as reference material for paid subscribers.

The Vocabulary of Genetic Deception decodes the eighteen terms that perform the framework’s argumentative work in every medical conversation. Variant, mutation, carrier, predisposition, heritability, penetrance, de novo, polygenic. Each entry shows what the term sounds like, what conclusion it smuggles in before the argument begins, and what plain-language equivalent describes the same observation without preloading the verdict.

What to Say When the Doctor Says “It’s Genetic” is a plain-language script for the consultations the framework is not designed to accommodate. Eight common doctor statements — You have the BRCA mutation, Your child has a genetic disorder, This runs in families, There’s nothing we can do — it’s genetic — each paired with the questions that move the conversation toward the evidence the doctor’s framework rules out. Including, in each case, the documented data the patient is entitled to and rarely receives.

The Four Real Causes is a diagnostic checklist for any condition labelled genetic. The four categories of insult — toxic exposure, nutritional deficiency, electromagnetic radiation, chronic stress — broken into specific lines of inquiry. Pharmaceutical history, dental amalgams, water source, wireless density, sleep architecture, occupational exposures. What can be removed, what can be restored. The investigation the diagnosis forecloses.

The Conditions Currently Labelled “Genetic” is a field guide to seventeen conditions — cystic fibrosis, sickle cell, Huntington’s, BRCA, familial hypercholesterolemia, Down syndrome, Dravet, Alzheimer’s, autism, schizophrenia, type 1 diabetes, MS, lupus, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alpha-1, hereditary cancers, birth defects. For each: the genetic story, what the evidence shows, what is ignored.

The Eugenics Continuity traces the institutional lineage from Galton (1869) through Cold Spring Harbor (1904), Buck v. Bell (1927), the Rockefeller funding of the German programmes (1920s-1930s), Watson and Crick (1953), the post-war rebranding, the Human Genome Project (1990), and the present-day “personalised medicine” apparatus.

The Curated Resource Library is an annotated guide to the primary sources — Jonathan Latham and Allison Wilson, Dr. Marizelle, Jamie Andrews, Tom Cowan, Toby Rogers, Malcolm Kendrick, Lester and Parker, the Baileys, and the wider terrain medicine tradition. Where to begin with each, what to read first, and what each source is best for.

When the lights go out, the rats come out

Shojaa al-Safadi

20/05/2026 

Around two months ago, my family and I returned home to our apartment on Tal al-Hawa street in Gaza City after a day of visiting relatives. The apartment was lit only by a small battery-powered lamp that cast a dim glow over the space.

Later that night, when I went to the bathroom to wash up, I opened the door and a large rat, about 5 inches long, was staring back at me from behind the sink.

I shut the door immediately behind me and killed it with a small bucket.

There was blood on the floor. I put the body in a plastic bag and cleaned the tiles with diluted bleach, the only disinfectant we had. A few meters away, our two-month-old son, Amjad, was sleeping. He came to us after nearly 16 years of waiting.

That night, the sounds began. Scratching behind the walls, rustling movement in the ceiling. Something alive, something in there. My wife and I did not sleep that night, and on subsequent nights would take turns staying awake to keep an eye out for rodents.

The next morning I went to al-Zawiya market in central Gaza to find poison. The market is 5 kilometers from our home, and I walked half the way because it is so difficult to find transportation.

The market I remember, though, is now gone.

Most of the original shops and narrow covered alleys have been severely damaged or reduced to rubble. Sewage runs through the streets, and flies hover over stagnant water.

Makeshift stalls of crates and plastic sheets have replaced the shops; instead of organized rows, the market now comprises scattered clusters of vendors. Some of the stalls are set up beside or even inside tents where displaced families live.

A vendor, who asked to be identified by his initials only, M. H., sold me a 10-gram bag of poison for about $7.

He said that the most effective poisons are blocked from entry by Israel.

“What we’re selling now came from damaged warehouses,” he said.

Once that stock is gone, there will be no alternative.

“Families are buying what is available at four times the previous price,” he said.

I took the poison home, mixed it with a tin of sardines and placed it near the openings in our walls.

For two days, the rats disappeared.

Then they came back.

Purchasing some rubble

In Arabic, there is a saying: Many causes, one death.

In Gaza, we are witness to these many causes of death: airstrikes, hunger and contaminated water, to name a few.

And now, we see prospective death in the rats that move through the dark toward sleeping children.

They come out when the battery dies on the lamp and the apartment goes dark.

They come out when we are not around.

That is when they feel safe.

Our apartment building on Tal al-Hawa street was bombed just one week before the so-called ceasefire, in October 2025. Israel bombed the top three floors of the building, and the remaining three lower floors sustained partial damage.

We are on the third floor, and our apartment is missing some walls, the entire kitchen, all the windows and doors and most of the furniture.

Giant piles of rubble surround us on every side, and this is where the rats live.

Protecting our apartment from rats would be a monumental task.

With the poison not doing the job, I sought out construction materials myself, along with the help of friends, to repair and seal any openings in our house.

Yet, given the Israeli blockade on materials needed to repair or insulate homes – cement, timber and other “dual-use” items – this would not be an easy task.

All supplies have to be found through unofficial channels, so neighbors smuggle and sell cement and cinder blocks to each other, ripping what they can from collapsed walls and bombed-out homes.

My friend Islam Bakr, 55, helped me search for materials for days.

His own seven-story building, home to 30 apartments, in Gaza City’s al-Daraj neighborhood, had suffered damage from Israeli strikes as well. The stairwell is cracked, and parts of the upper floors remain exposed after nearby strikes.

As we searched for construction materials, he told me how the rats had invaded his family’s food stockpiles: flour, rice, cheese, yeast and dried legumes. This is food the family had obtained from aid trucks and markets and then stored because Gaza’s food supplies are scarce and unstable.

The rats nibbled away at their stockpile, contaminating the food. He found droppings in nearly every bag.

He recalled how a four-year-old child in a nearby tent was bitten; the family got treatment and the child recovered. But Islam said that it seems like most families do not seek medical attention unless injuries are severe, because getting to a hospital is its own ordeal.

Later that day, we found a group of people selling cement blocks and bricks that had been salvaged from destroyed homes. The blocks were displayed right in the middle of the street, amid piles of rubble.

The sellers had cleaned the blocks of any cement residue (typically, a clean brick fetches a higher price than a damaged, unclean brick). The seller would not negotiate on price, and he tacked on an extra fifty cents to cover transport costs.

I bought the used concrete blocks for about $2.50 each.

The ideal conditions for rats

The rodent infestation in Gaza is not a story of one statistic or figure, but of several of them combined: the 57.5 million tons of rubble that fill the streets; the approximate 3,000 cubic meters of solid waste that accumulate each day; and the inaccessible landfills and destroyed sewage treatment infrastructure.

In Gaza City, this collapse is visible along every street, especially in the piles of waste that are heaped along the street. At night, the smell intensifies, and it gets worse when residents burn garbage.

Rubble, waste and standing water have created ideal conditions for rodents.

Then, at night, they move into homes and shelters.

My friend Alaa Abu Sharkh, 45, lives in Beach Camp, a few kilometers from my home. His family had sought shelter in a house with an asbestos roof. When Israel bombed a nearby mosque, stones were blown outward and then fell through the roof, creating holes large enough for rats to simply walk through, into the house.

They framed the holes with wood and laid plastic sheeting over top, taping and then double-taping until the plastic held.

So far, this has worked to keep the rats out. But the problem remains outside.

During the night, Alaa sees clusters of rats moving through the rubble and waste piled along the road, scattering and then regrouping in the dark.

“This is not something individuals can solve,” said Alaa. “It requires [municipal] bodies with real resources.”

When we discuss the rodent crisis, it can at times feel absurd; we have survived the bombs of this war only to be living in the disaster that the bombs created.

Rat bite in the night

Over 80 percent of Gaza’s buildings have been damaged by Israel’s bombardment over two-and-a-half years.

Even if Israel did not ban so-called dual-use items (like construction materials) that would enable us to repair our homes and protect them from rodents, nearly all of Gaza’s 2.1 million residents have been displaced, and many of them live in tents with no walls to patch up or cracks to seal.

Inside the tents, rodents are a part of daily life. For rats, every shelter is accessible.

I spoke with Yousef al-Ustaz on the phone after seeing a video on social media of his newborn son Adam, who had been bitten by a rat.

The family lives in a tent in the al-Maqousi area west of Gaza City, and at around 1 am, al-Ustaz woke to his son crying – not unusual for a newborn.

“As I got closer, I saw blood covering my baby’s face, and a rat running out of the tent,” al-Ustaz told The Electronic Intifada. “At that moment, I was thinking of nothing but saving his life.”

Adam was rushed to Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital, where doctors treated the wound and monitored him for infection. He is now recovering from the bite.

I asked my nephew Omar al-Safadi, who is a doctor at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, whether he was seeing more rat-related admissions.

He said that medical centers in Gaza are receiving about one or two cases of bites or scratches each day, mostly involving children. Some develop infections requiring antibiotics.

“Around ten percent of cases develop infections that need close monitoring,” Omar said. “Most of what we’ve seen has been managed with disinfection and antibiotics. But the irregular availability of medicines is a major obstacle.”

What next?

When I got home, I began to fill in the cracks and holes where the rats were entering the apartment.

Instead of using the expensive and poor-quality cement available, I used a mixture of lime and sand, working by hand to fill any gaps in the walls with the used blocks I purchased.

It was crude, but it worked.

For now, the rats have stopped getting in.

Yet my wife and I sleep in the living room together with Amjad, surrounding him on all sides, in case they return.

Every night I go to sleep thinking about how I cannot make sure my son is safe. We survived the bombs, the displacement, the hunger, and now I am losing sleep over rats.

As if Gaza’s people had not already been asked to endure enough.

Palestine Action activists sentenced as 'terrorists'

 

JOHN McEVOY and DANIA AKKAD
12 June 2026

Four Palestine Action activists have been sentenced to a combined total of more than 25 years in prison, after a judge ruled that they could be treated as terrorists.

Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Zainab Rajwani were convicted of criminal damage last month in relation to a raid against an Israeli arms factory in Bristol in 2024.

At their sentencing hearing at Woolwich Crown Court today, Judge Johnson agreed to apply a “terrorism connection” to the case under the Sentencing Act. 

Head and Kamio were given six years, Rajwani received five years and eight months, and Corner was sentenced to eight years and eight months. 

Gasps could be heard from the public gallery as the sentences were delivered, as some family members cried. They pounded the windows of the gallery as the defendants were led out.

Hundreds of protesters were also gathered outside, and could be heard chanting throughout the day from inside the courthouse. 

During the hearing, defence lawyers accused the prosecution of submitting key evidence “at the 59th minute of the 11th hour”.

That evidence related to how the defendants allegedly smashed 40 military assets including over a dozen drones, causing over £1.2m worth of damage.

Defence counsel said the submission allowed no time to review the report and admitting it as evidence would amount to “a gross affront to the integrity of the criminal justice system”.

What the court heard

That evidence – a witness statement from a consultant who assessed what Elbit’s insurance company was required to pay after the raid – was submitted to the court just eight days before the hearing.

It marked the first time that an assessment of the damage at the factory was submitted from a witness that was not anonymous and was, therefore, potentially admissible.

Defence counsel Tom Wainwright explained that the report had been submitted so late that he had not even had the opportunity to discuss it with his client, Samuel Corner.

“It would be wholly wrong and unfair for my Lord to allow the prosecution to rely on this highly contentious evidence for sentencing purposes and admit it for the purposes of determining the value of the damage caused”, said lead defence counsel Rajiv Menon.

Judge Johnson nonetheless accepted the evidence as admissible but said he would only use it to form a narrow view of the damage incurred at the factory.

The latter half of the hearing focussed on how the word “serious” is properly defined with reference to the “serious damage to property” clause of the Terrorism Act.

Defence lawyers argued that the term “serious” was intended by parliament to imply something “sinister” such as causing “excessive fear” or “harm” towards persons.

Menon also raised concerns that there is a pattern of courts finding “terrorism connection” in cases involving minorities or those supporting them, but not white supremacists.

Neither Thomas Mair, the neo-Nazi murderer of British MP Jo Cox, nor Thomas McKenna, who was procuring firearms to provoke a “race war” were given criminal convictions with a “terrorism connection”, he noted.

“So apparently, stockpiling weapons in preparation for a race war against Muslims and immigrants does not amount to an act of terrorism”, Menon declared to the court.

Verdict

Judge Johnson’s ruling was made with reference to the statutory definitions of terrorism in the Terrorism Act.

They include causing “serious damage to property” for political reasons with the aim of influencing a government, international organisation, or sector of the public.

He found that “serious damage to property” was caused to Elbit’s factory in Bristol.

This damage extended to “very many individual items of advanced technological equipment as well as to the fabric of the building”, Johnson said, adding that the evidence provided late to the court shows “more than £1m paid out by insurers”.

It was unnecessary to determine “precise economic value of damage” as he was “sure it amounted to serious damage”, he continued.

Johnson further ruled that the protest action was not designed to influence the Israeli government.

However, he said it was intended to influence the UK government as well as a sector of the public defined as employees of and companies linked to Elbit Systems.

There was a “strategy of carrying out actions against Elbit and businesses linked to it in order to intimidate it into ceasing operations or cause the government to prevent it from operating”, Johnson said.

He was also “sure” that the action was for the purpose of “advancing a political or ideological cause” in line with the defendants’ beliefs surrounding Israel and Palestine.

In concluding his verdict, Johnson said: “I am sure each of the defendants’ offences involved serious damage to property, was designed to influence the UK government and to intimidate a section of the public, and was for the purpose of advancing a political cause”. 

Major concerns

The ruling comes amid major concerns surrounding the weaponisation of terrorism laws against pro-Palestine activists.

One of the UK’s leading human rights lawyers, Michael Mansfield KC, said before the hearing that sentencing protesters as terrorists would be a “constitutional threat”.

Mansfield was among a group of 50 lawyers and legal experts to write an open letter which stated: “It’s particularly insidious for the obvious reason that they weren’t allowed to explain their motivation to a jury – that was denied them.

“And yet the state says ‘we’re actually going to elevate what the offences are’ when a jury might well not have convicted had they known they were going to be treated as terrorists”.

The letter continued: “The fundamental principle is you should not be convicted on any statutory offence for which you have not been charged”.

Former Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell also signed a letter condemning this “unjust” and “cruel” use of terrorism laws in advance of the hearing.

Defence lawyers are expected to appeal this decision.

BioNTech Shuts Down Its Biggest mRNA Plant in Asia - Because Nobody Wants the Jab Anymore

Aussie17
Apr 02, 2026

Well, well, well… look who’s quietly closing the doors on their shiny new mRNA empire.

Remember when Singapore was going to be the gleaming hub of the “mRNA revolution” in Asia? Yeah, that dream just got quietly euthanised.

BioNTech, the same German outfit that partnered with Pfizer to push the experimental genetic shots we were all forced to take, has announced it is shutting down its flagship Singapore vaccine production plant by early 2027.

This was their biggest mRNA manufacturing bet in Asia. Acquired in 2022 from Novartis in Tuas Biomedical Park, it was supposed to be their Asia-Pacific regional headquarters. Fully built-out, state-of-the-art, ready to churn out several hundred million doses of mRNA vaccines per year.

They hyped it hard. Singapore’s Economic Development Board cheered. Jobs were promised. The future was bright. The jab was going to “save the world” and make them billions.

Fast forward four years.

The plant is being closed.
The workers are being shown the door.
The reason? Massive, catastrophic collapse in COVID-19 vaccine sales.

No more boosters. No more demand. Lots of damaged heart. 300% increase in ALS Drug sales on a post vaccinated population. The public finally got the message that the “Safe and Effective™” miracle was nothing but a snake oil scam.

And just in case you thought this was some isolated Singapore problem… think again.

This week, Pfizer and BioNTech quietly halted a massive U.S. clinical trial for their updated COVID-19 vaccine targeting healthy adults aged 50 to 64. The study, which aimed to recruit 25,000 to 30,000 participants, was shut down because they simply couldn’t get enough people to sign up.

Recruitment struggles? That’s putting it mildly. Over 80% of people who showed even slight interest failed pre-screening. The companies admitted they couldn’t generate the “relevant post-marketing data” they needed. No safety issues, they claim, just nobody showing up for another round of the jab even if you’re paying them.

 

This isn’t some small side study. It was meant to support approval and recommendations for a huge chunk of the adult population. Now? No data for the upcoming FDA advisory meeting. No clear path forward for this age group. The mRNA machine is literally running out of willing guinea pigs.

Just like the ALS drug sales spiking 300% and the stroke drug sales jumping 200% that I showed you in Part1 and Part 2, the data from Singapore never lies. High vax rates, excellent tracking, perfect little petri dish for spotting what the jab is really doing long-term.

And now even BioNTech itself is admitting, in the coldest possible way, that the party is over, both in the factory and in the clinic.

The mRNA cash cow that made them tens of billions during the pandemic has dried up. The “excess capacity” they built in Singapore is now… well… excess. Because nobody in their right mind wants another shot of whatever that DNA Contaminated stuff actually was.

Singapore, the same country that ranked #1 in the world for excess deaths while boasting 92%+ vaccination rates, now watches another pillar of the mRNA fantasy quietly fold.

The jab that keeps on giving… just keeps on taking.

Taking lives.
Taking jobs.
Taking manufacturing plants.
Taking the last scraps of credibility from the entire “this is the future of medicine” narrative.

What a triumph!

Signing off for now

Dietary Practices Of Indigenous Children In India

 

 

Sylvia Karpagam & Anil D’souza
August 16, 2025   

 

DIETARY PRACTICES AND ANTHROPOMETRY OF CHILDREN FROM AN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY IN A VILLAGE IN MUNDGOD, UTTARA KARNATAKA, INDIA

Dr. Weston A. Price’s landmark 1939 book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, provided powerful evidence that modern diets of refined flour, sugar and vegetable oils were causing nutritional deficiencies that manifested as dental caries and other health issues, including facial deformities, abnormal dental arches and increased susceptibility to acute and chronic disease. On the other hand, Price found that indigenous diets based on seafood, livestock (including organ meats), dairy and fermented foods, with or with­out plant-based foods, were protective.

Loyola Vikasa Kendra (LVK) is a nongovernmental social action organization operating two centers that run programs in eighty villages. In the spirit of Dr. Price’s research, LVK decided to conduct a study to document the dietary practices of three- to six-year-old children in an indigenous village in the South Indian state of Karnataka, with the aim of correlating children’s diet with their oral and general health. In addition to focus group discussions and key informant interviews, the research­ers (with parental consent) collected anthropometric data and conducted oral and physical exams on forty-nine village children. This article sum­marizes some of the findings.

STUDY CONTEXT

The study took place in a gowli village of one hundred fifty households. The gowli are a predominantly pastoral group grazing cattle in forest areas in Uttara Kannada, the fifth largest district in Karnataka. (The word gowli, which means “milkmen” or “herdsmen,” derives from gai or gao—the word for “cow.”) With a tradition of herding cattle and selling milk, the community migrated to Karnataka seventy-five years ago following a severe drought in their original state of Maharashtra.

Their dairy livestock include native buffalo breeds from Maharashtra and Karnataka— breeds considered hardier and more resistant to disease. Although some families have re­placed the indigenous breeds with Jersey cows, study participants described the Jerseys as less resilient and not well suited to forest grazing, making them more expensive to maintain be­cause they require supplemental feed such as rice and groundnut husks. Reportedly, children think that the milk from the indigenous animals tastes better.

Villagers described the indigenous animals as their “connection with the forest,” explaining that the manure “enriches the soil and makes the plants and trees and grass grow better.” The government’s forestry department has been im­posing increasing restrictions on forest grazing, alleging destructive impacts, but focus group participants reported that where grazing is not allowed, the forest areas are “dying.”

DIETARY PRACTICES

Not surprisingly, the gowli community relies heavily on dairy, with a fermented milk-based gruel called amblee forming a staple part of the diet. Many children consume milk, both raw and cooked, three to five times a day, often with added turmeric, and adults drink milk in the morning rather than coffee or tea. One study participant stated, “We depend a lot on milk, curd and ghee. We also consume butter. We have amblee quite often. . . . We are all healthy because of milk. We also make majige saaru [buttermilk curry].”

In addition to dairy foods, the villagers eat fish, chicken, lamb and goat, including offal and blood, as well as some game when available— but they do not eat beef. The diet also includes a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as rice, lentils and millet flatbread. Seasonally available ghee, groundnut oil and refined palm oil are the predominant cooking fats. With the restrictions on forest grazing, villagers reported that they are losing access to forest-foraged foods such as tubers, wild honey, herbs and certain leafy greens.

A dry dish called sooka made from blood is given to women five days after delivery. Postpar­tum women also eat a gruel prepared with dry coconut, ghee or coconut oil, pepper and “bro­ken wheat.” Infants breastfeed anywhere from four months to five years, depending on whether the mother works outside the home. When they begin drinking milk, they start with cow’s milk and do not consume buffalo milk, perceived as “thicker,” until at least six months of age. One villager wisely commented, “Doctors ask us to give powdered milk to the children. We say okay but we don’t listen to them.”

An interview with a six-foot-tall farmer who towered over the other villagers provided insights into recent dietary trends. Recalling how he drank warm milk straight from the cow as a child, he noted that junk food has started appearing in children’s diets and suggested that the increased intake of processed foods was causing heights to come down in his com­munity. Some villagers have complained about the “rancid” and “unappetizing” prepackaged foods and powdered milk served to children at the local preschool. The long-standing demand of “right-to-nutrition” groups has been that school food be prepared by dalit women from the local community using local ingredients. (Dalit women belong to the lowest category in the caste structure of India, often labelled as “untouchable” and not allowed to handle food but rather work related to sanitation.)

 

PHYSICAL AND DENTAL HEALTH

The gowli children had better indicators for expected heights and weights for age compared to the national and state averages. Roughly three out of four children assessed (73 percent) had expected height for age, and 88 percent had expected weight for age. Table 1 compares children in India, Karnataka and the study vil­lage on indicators of stunting and underweight.

On general physical examination, nearly all (98 percent) had clear eyes and skin, and good cardiovascular and respiratory health. A few children had signs of healed skin conditions.

The majority of village children had sound dentition and good facial structure, as shown in Table 2.

When the study team compared the dietary practices of the children with and without dental caries (cavities), they found that among the chil­dren with no dental decay, 74 percent consumed milk three to five times a day, “undiluted” but not necessarily raw; only four of the children had consumed raw milk in the week of the sur­vey. Regular milk consumption among children with one or more cavities was lower (48 percent), with some of those families reporting economic hardships that made it necessary to give the children milk only “as and when possible.”

Three out of four children (74 percent) in the no-cavity group had consumed organ meats (intestine, liver, blood) in the previous month, versus 46 percent of the group with one or more cavities. About the same number of children in each group had eaten some kind of junk food in the week of the survey.

CONCLUSION

Although the study provided a glimpse into the encroachment of the “displacing foods of modern commerce” into the diet of rural Indian children, including junk foods and powdered or heated milk, overall, the research team found that village children from groups with a strong tradition of dairy consumption—including fer­mented and raw dairy—appear to drink more milk than their urban counterparts. Comparable survey results from urban preschools would help confirm this. A small number of parents commented that their children did not like the taste of organ meats, but in general, the regular consumption of offal such as liver and blood also still seems to be supporting the dental and physi­cal health of many of these village children.

Popular mobilizations against the creation of quarantine camps in Kenya

June 6th, 2026 

 On Monday, two protesters were shot and killed in Nanyuki, Kenya, during demonstrations against the creation of a quarantine center at a US air base under the pretext of the Ebola epidemic. The center will only accommodate American “sick” people (real or alleged) because viruses primarily look at passports.

This morning, the first US first responders landed at Laikipia Air Base, where the US military is constructing a 50-bed unit.

Last week, Marco Rubio said, “We cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States.” Only those Americans requiring higher levels of medical care will be flown to as-yet-unidentified hospitals in Europe.

The White House did not respond to reporters’ questions about whether the facility would be accessible to Kenyans.

Kenyans have opposed the facility after Washington announced last week that no American "sick" with Ebola would be allowed to return to the United States, but would instead be quarantined in Kenya.

Kenyan President William Ruto defended the creation of the quarantine center, even though the Supreme Court on Friday suspended construction of the facility and the arrival of the "sick" individuals.

In a typical act of colonial subservience, he said Kenya had a long-standing partnership with the United States on health matters and that the quarantine center at Laikipia Air Base was one of 24 that had been designed to "fight" the Ebola outbreak in the country.

"When President Trump asked the Kenyan government to support them by having a center at Laikipia Air Base, I gave it the go-ahead because it was an agreement and a partnership with friends who have worked with Kenya for 30 or 40 years," Ruto said.

Ruto is facing a barrage of protests for various reasons and, at the same time, is under pressure to declare a state of emergency.

During the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, several healthcare workers treating patients were evacuated to hospital facilities within the United States, without subsequent transmission. Trump opposed this, saying that returning volunteers should face the consequences and should not be allowed to enter the United States.

FW Comment:

'Ebola'-affected areas principally overlap with mining zones (e.g. gold, diamonds, iron ore) and 'Ebola' symptoms overlap substantially with those of arsenic and mercury poisoning. Virtually all African countries with local 'Ebola' transmission have active mining activity, whether industrial or small-scale and artisanal. And as with other "viruses", the purported Ebola virus serves as the ideal cover story to conceal the actual causes of illness, whether these be industrial pollution, agricultural pesticides, GMO food, ionising or non-ionising radiation.

As biochemist David Rasnick has stated: “I have examined in detail the literature on isolation and [electron microscope pictures] of both Ebola and Marburg viruses. I have not found any convincing evidence that Ebola virus (and for that matter Marburg) has been isolated from humans. There is certainly no confirmatory evidence of human isolation.”

Vaxxed Thailand Princess dies after three years in a coma

Fourth World
June12th, 2026

Thailand’s Princess Bajrakitiyabha, 47, has been pronounced dead by doctors, Thailand’s Royal Household Bureau announced today (June 12). She had been in a coma for three and a half years after suffering a heart attack while running on December 14, 2022.

 

 

Thai-born doctor Sucharit Bhakdi pointed to the likely culprit back in 2023. This is how the story was reported at the time:

 

44 year old Princess Bajrakitiyabha of Thailand collapsed while out walking her dogs on 14 December last year.

According to sources she had not felt well after receiving her 3rd booster. After her collapse she lost consciousness and remains in a coma. According to a report in The Independent, she is ‘on medical equipment supporting her heart, lungs and kidneys.’

Princess Bajrakitiyabha is the eldest child of current King Rama X. The law graduate is a senior diplomat in the Thai government.

The Thai palace confirmed she had suffered a ‘heart issue’. But the explanation given by the authorities and a local university that it was caused by a bacterial infection has been called ‘ridiculous’ by medical expert Professor Sucharit Bhakdi.

Thai-born Bhakdi, a former professor of microbiology at the University of Mainz in Germany had a celebrated career in medical science as a world expert on the immune system and arterial disease, until mainstream narratives and ‘fact checkers’ labelled him a ‘conspiracy theorist’ for his strong opposition to the COVID ‘vaccines’.

According to Bhakdi, who claims he and his contacts have been in direct contact with the Thai Royal Family over the matter, the princess’ collapse was an adverse reaction to the COVID jab. She was previously healthy with no known medical conditions.

Speaking on the ‘neutralswiss‘ Rumble channel yesterday, Bhakdi said:

‘This whole COVID-19 agenda is a fake… And I was able to lay out for them the proof that the COVID vaccinations were based on fraud… The EMA declared that safety pharmacological studies were never performed – never. And they were never deemed necessary. So now we have it. So, when I told the Thais this, you know guys, they jumped up. They jumped up in the room. And so they said to me ‘we will see to it that Thailand is the first country in the world that is going to declare this contract null… Which means that Pfizer BioNTech is going to have to pay back those billions to Thailand, with which Thailand will recompensate those peoples that have lost their existence…

‘One daughter of the present king Rama X collapsed and is in a coma… within 23 days after the third shot, 44 years old, never been seriously ill, collapsed and is now in a coma. The diagnosis that was given by the authorities and by the university is so ridiculous – she’s supposed to have a bacterial infection that will never do what she suffered from. And so we are determined, and the activists in Thailand who have been on this many many months now – great guys, also a professor from the University of Bangkok, he’s gotten in touch with the Royal Family, and we are sending information to the Royal Family to alert them to the fact that in all probability the princess is suffering as a victim of this jab, as so many people around the world have been suffering.’

 

How a regional defence pact could deal the final blow to Israel's violent expansionism

Resistance by Iran and its allies has been the only thing stopping Israel's endless quest to seize territory and expel native populations

 

David Hearst

9 June 2026 

The brief exchange of fire between Iran and Israel was a truer statement of the balance of power that now exists between these two countries than the many spurious claims by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about having “smashed”, “destroyed” or “obliterated” the armed forces of the Islamic Republic.

In firing up to 30 missiles towards Israel in retaliation against its renewed bombing of Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut, Iran broke the model that Israel had imposed on the two other ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza: namely that you cease, and we keep on firing.

Furthermore, it showed that it would target northern Israel to protect a third country, Lebanon, which is also something of a first.

In announcing that it would halt fire, Iran’s military command said that if Israel resumed its attacks anywhere, including southern Lebanon, “much more severe and crushing measures than before will follow”.

It has taken time for the Islamic Republic to respond to Israel’s campaigns on Gaza, Lebanon and itself as one war - which is what it is - but at last, it is being forced to do so.

No one else is; least of all the Lebanese government.

If Iran and Hezbollah between them force even a partial pullback of Israeli troops in Lebanon, they will have been more effective at ensuring the return of its own citizens to their homes than Lebanon’s president.

As Amal Saad, a scholar on Hezbollah, wrote in these pages, the ceasefire agreement signed by Lebanese representatives with Israel and the US belongs to a category of political submission with little or no precedent.

“Lebanon, a state under attack, co-signs a document that conditions a ceasefire not on the withdrawal of the occupying power from its territory, but on the withdrawal of its own citizens from their land,” she wrote.

Iran's display of defiance puts a spoke in these wheels. It has also substantially weakened Netanyahu's relationship with Trump

The ceasefire was not conditional on an Israeli withdrawal, a prisoner release, or a return of the population, but on Hezbollah withdrawing from the south.

It’s little wonder, then, that Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz have been crowing that they had won on all fronts. 

Netanyahu said that Israel had proved it could fight a war on three fronts simultaneously, and that its forces should advance to a line that occupied 70 percent of Gaza. 

Katz committed himself to the mass ethnic cleansing of the enclave: large-scale “voluntary migration” that Israel would implement “at the proper time and in the proper manner”.

Katz has also said that the Israeli army is using the same tactics in Lebanon as it did in Gaza, where entire cities were reduced to rubble.

Both Netanyahu and Katz speak without any apparent fear of incriminating themselves in the genocide case that is still before the International Court of Justice.

Stubborn resistance

Iran’s display of defiance puts a spoke in these wheels. It has also substantially weakened Netanyahu’s relationship with Trump.

Israeli jets were on the runway on Monday, ready to resume full-scale war on Iran, according to multiple reports, when Trump called Netanyahu and told him to stop.

Trump was true to his word. Asked in an interview with The Financial Times whether he could restrain the Israeli prime minister, Trump replied: “He won’t have any choice. I call the shots. I call all the shots. He doesn’t call the shots.”

The war on Iran was the brainchild of these two men alone, based on false Mossad intelligence that the Islamic Republic was weaker than it proved to be. Iran’s stubborn resistance to being defeated, alongside its ability to continually rebuild its missile and drone forces, is now imposing substantial strains on this alliance.

Both leaders face elections. Both are under attack domestically for having offshored, and thus lost control of, the war they jointly started.

Israeli journalist Ben Caspit complained in Ma’ariv that national security in Israel had been “privatised” and handed over to Trump, to the extent that military decisions needed approval from Washington.

His colleague, Avi Ashkenazi, said that “Israel must not accept the American dictate to sit still and refrain from responding”, noting that this could risk Israel’s very existence.

On Monday night, Netanyahu had to content himself with a truculent statement that he would halt attacks on Iran “for now”.

Trump, too, suffered a major setback last week when the House of Representatives voted “to remove all US forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran”. The resolution, which has no force of law, was supported by four Republicans who defected to vote with the Democrats. 

Trump railed on Truth Social: “Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing.”

But it is clear that the antiwar mood is spreading in Republican ranks - and Trump knows this is a threat.

Diverging agendas

It is clearer, too, that the US and Israeli agendas on Iran now diverge. Trump evidently does not believe that either a resumption of the war or the continuation of the Hormuz blockade will bring about an end to the conflict. 

His insistence that negotiations are continuing, and that a memorandum of understanding on reopening the Strait of Hormuz is within reach, reflects the belief that negotiations with Iran are the only way for the US armada to stand down.

Trump started the war with dreams of a quick victory. He now has to end it as fast as he can.

For Netanyahu, a US peace deal with Iran - with the Islamic Republic still in place - would mark the end of that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand Israel’s borders and impose itself as the region’s new hegemon.

That window of opportunity started in Trump’s first term, when he appointed a settler advocate as an ambassador, and recognised Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

There was no quid pro quo, no commitments Israel had to give about a Palestinian state. These were gifts on a silver platter.

 

 

The golden alliance resumed in Trump’s second term, culminating in the US attack on Iran - a strategic goal that Netanyahu had been championing for at least 40 years.

During this period, and knowing that he would never again have a US president as gullible as this one, Netanyahu pursued a policy of maximum territorial conquest. 

But lebensraum is not the primary aim. Rather, it is to clear Gaza and southern Lebanon of their native populations. About one million Palestinians in Gaza have no homes to go back to, even as rubble, while another million people remain displaced in Lebanon. 

The new Nakba, or catastrophe, that is still being planned by Netanyahu and Katz would be several times larger than the one that Israel committed in 1948. It would mean destroying not just homes, hospitals and schools, but everything that keeps society in Gaza and southern Lebanon functioning.

As analyst Gideon Levy writes: “Once Gaza’s population is reduced to a disparate mass without an organized society, without basic services, essential institutions and, of course, without leadership, the complete disintegration of the social fabric will make it easier for Israel to move to the next phase, which it has never relinquished, the phase of expulsion. Only then will the Gaza problem be finally resolved. Only in this manner.”

'Logic of elimination'

Patrick Wolfe, an Australian scholar of settler-colonialism, has described the settler’s attitude as “the logic of elimination”. 

“How did colonialists justify their attitude to the indigenous population? As in other colonialist enterprises, they dehumanised them, portraying them as ‘savages’ or ‘primitive’,” historian Ilan Pappe writes.

But he goes on to note that settler-colonialism differs from classical colonialism in one important respect: whereas the British in India regarded themselves as bringing modernity to “savages”, settler-colonialists see themselves as modernising the land. Its people must be got rid of.

Netanyahu and Katz are pursuing this vision, in war and peace, against Palestinians wherever they live.

It is the refusal of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to disarm that keeps Israel from fulfilling its vision of mass ethnic cleansing

Since Hamas handed all its hostages back, Israel has broken the Gaza ceasefire around 3,000 times. More than 900 Palestinians have been killed and 2,900 wounded. Dozens more have been abducted by Israeli forces.

The Yellow Line to which the Israeli army was supposed to withdraw has been creeping inexorably forward. The 53 percent of Gaza occupied by Israel became 60 percent, and late last month, Netanyahu promised to make that 70 percent, as a “start” towards complete control.

“We are currently squeezing Hamas; we now control 60 percent of the territory of the Strip - you know this. We were at 50, we moved to 60. My directive is to move to,” he said, before pausing as someone in the crowd called out “100” .

“Let’s go step by step. First of all, 70. Let’s start with that,” Netanyahu said. “We’re pressing them from all sides, we’ll deal with the remnants.”

Meanwhile, Israel has been killing all the Hamas leaders who agreed to hand over the hostages in exchange for ending the war. Mohammed Odeh, Hamas’s most recent military commander, was killed last month in a targeted strike.

Vision of exile

There is no sign of the “master plan” that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, presented in Davos on 22 January. No foundations have been laid for the New Rafah, with its 100,000 housing units, 200 education centres, 75 medical facilities, and 180 cultural, religious and vocational institutions. This is land that is under full Israeli control.

No one from the Palestinian technocratic government has stepped foot in Gaza. There is no international peacekeeping force and no money in the kitty to do any of this. The Board of Peace’s coffers are empty.

Nickolay Mladenov, the board’s high representative for Gaza, puts all the blame on Hamas’s refusal to disarm. According to the plan, first comes the group’s disarmament, then the International Stabilisation Force turns up, and only then does Israel withdraw. But none of this is happening. 

As every Palestinian knows, Netanyahu and Katz are not planning an Abu Dhabi on the shores of the Mediterranean. They are actively planning chaos, civil war, and militias fighting each other - for these are the surest ways of pushing Palestinians into the sea and into exile.

 

But it is the refusal of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to disarm that keeps Israel from fulfilling its vision of mass ethnic cleansing. They are the only impediments to a mass exodus of refugees who would flood Saudi Arabia, Jordan and ultimately Europe itself.

Hezbollah has clearly been able to reconstitute its military strength after losing its leadership several times over to Israel’s assassinations in 2024. According to one authoritative analysis, it is concentrating on the quality of its strikes against Israeli military targets, rather than the quantity. 

It keeps forces in reserve. It affords its local units a substantial degree of autonomy while maintaining command and control. These are no mean military feats under daily Israeli drone surveillance and strikes.

The ceasefires that Israel has signed so far, and which have been endorsed by Israel’s neighbours, are simply covers for pursuing the same dream of an ethnically cleansed Gaza and southern Lebanon, under a different format.

Regional imperative

This is the reality that the region has yet to wake up to. The agenda is not about normalisation with a country that does this. It’s not about disarmament. It’s about rearmament. 

The only way Israel’s agenda can be stopped is by having the hard power to do so. Turkey, Egypt and Jordan have the most to fear from Israel’s plans, chiefly because whether or not Netanyahu continues in power, the strategic goal will remain the same. No land that Netanyahu has conquered will be returned by a Naftali Bennett as prime minister. 

Israel in its current mood, which Netanyahu has described as its second war of independence, does not respect anyone else’s sovereignty. It will establish air fields in the Iraqi desert without applying to Baghdad for planning permission.

In addition, these countries know that they are next on Israel’s target list. They have held back because they don’t want a war with Israel. Turkish armed forces say they are several years away from having anything that could deter Israeli jets.  

It is not that they are doing nothing. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stopped Trump from using Kurdish forces to invade Iran. King Abdullah of Jordan stopped Trump from backing Israel’s annexation of the West Bank - for now. 

But these are tactical, not strategic changes of direction. No leader has stopped Israel’s project to redraw its own borders. 

It is now a regional imperative to do so. Every nation in the Middle East will feel the consequences of Israeli success. 

It is well past time to arrange a regional framework and defence pact that would become a fact on the ground, which neither Israel nor the latest occupant of the White House could ignore. 

An end to the war with Iran, if it happens, must be the start of a regional initiative to ensure it never happens again.
