Genocides are only a concern when they're in the past




mpr21
October 28th

In June, Annalena Baerbock, a leader of the Greens and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the German government, gave a speech on former African colonies (1). In it, she said that her country had a “historical responsibility” for the “genocide inflicted on the Herero and Nama people” of Namibia at the beginning of the last century.

Baerbock, a minister with Nazi ancestors, considers the famous “holocaust” to be the worst crime the world has ever known. Germany must face its past, says the minister, but the present is another matter. Current genocides do not count and it will be another hundred years from now before bad conscience, guilt and remorse set in.

So far this century, the worst crime known to humanity is that of Gaza, but the problem with current crimes is that they are not yet history and to atone for guilt they must cease to be political. Crimes are only acknowledged when they are harmless, and when nothing can be done to prevent them. Never a moment before.

Today, Germany is jointly responsible for the war crimes Israel is committing in Gaza. In the past three months, the government to which Baerbock belongs has approved arms shipments to Israel worth more than $100 million.

About a third of the weapons imported by Israel between 2019 and 2023 came from Germany. Only the United States has been a larger external supplier of arms to Israel during that period.

In public, the Greens hypocritically claim that they will not approve any more arms deliveries to Israel and - with consumate absurdity - demand a written guarantee that German weapons will not be used to commit genocide in Gaza.

For his part, German Chancellor Scholz says something different: his government will continue to send weapons to Israel, without the need for written or verbal guarantees. And the Greens have not opposed their chancellor on this, at least not in public.

In addition, Germany is protecting Israel from the accusation of genocide. When South Africa went to the International Court of Justice claiming that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, the Berlin government was quick to indicate that it would intervene on Israel’s behalf. Baerbock herself said in January that she did not view Israel as committing genocide in its war against the Palestinians in Gaza, Instead, she describes their actions as “self-defence”.

In an interview with Deutsche Welle in November last year, Baerbock explained that “we are determined to fulfil our responsibility as Germans”. This is the bad conscience that has been manufactured in post-war Germany, where Israel is an extension of the Federal Republic itself, sanctified by the expression “Israel’s security is Germany’s raison d’état” (3).

In short, the German Nazis have replaced their brown uniforms with Green ones.

Five points on the assassination of Nasrallah


 

Friday, September 27, 2024 is a pivotal moment in the history of Lebanon. It is comparable in importance to September 14, 1982 (the assassination of Bashir Gemayel) and February 14, 2005 (the assassination of Rafik Hariri).

Fady Al-Ahmar - Asas Media

For three decades, Sayyed Nasrallah dominated the political arena in Lebanon. His influence extended beyond Lebanon to the wider region, and his fame spread throughout the world. Foreign media outlets have often broadcast his speeches and it is no exaggeration to say that leaders of countries sometimes waited upon what Nasrallah would say to formulate their policies in Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Hence, the repercussions of his assassination will extend beyond the party and beyond Lebanon to the region as a whole. What comes after September 27 will not be the same as what came before it, especially since this assassination exposed new realities while confirming older ones.

Iran distances itself

1- Let us start with the reality of Iran and its arms dealings in the region. Under the pretext of not falling into the trap of a comprehensive war, Tehran is distancing itself from the military confrontation that broke Hamas in Gaza and shook the structure of the party. If the confrontation in Gaza is the responsibility of Yahya Sinwar, who decided to attack on October 7 without Iran's knowledge, then the support war launched by Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah came at the request of Iran and in coordination with it. For two weeks, the party has been subjected to mass and individual assassinations, sometimes by bombs and sometimes by missiles. Iran has been content to issue mere threats and intimidation. Its attack on the first of this month was no different from the attack on April 13, except for the killing of a Palestinian man. It was an attack to save face with their allies and to send a message to Israel and America that targeting Iranian strategic facilities will not go unanswered, because Iran's priority is to preserve the regime and protect its nuclear project. Therefore, Iran's role in the war on Lebanon will be restricted to simply assisting and supporting the Party of God. It will not participate directly. The division of opinions in the emergency meeting of the Supreme National Security Council called for by the Supreme Leader after the assassination of Nasrallah gave a clear indication. Ali Khamenei's statement after the assassination of Nasrallah confirmed this. He said that "the resistance forces will stand by the Hezbollah," rather than the Revolutionary Guards doing so, and that "Lebanon will make the evil and outcast invading enemy regret its actions," rather than Iran performing this role. He called on "Muslims to stand by the Lebanese people and the 
Hezbollah, which is proud of its capabilities, and to help confront the usurping and malicious regime," rather than calling on Iranians to do this.

Nasrallah's Mistake

2- The second fact is the
mistake of the Hezbollah and its late leader in assessing the military situation at the beginning of their support war. Nasrallah knew about Israel's air and technological superiority, but he did not appreciate the extent of the security breach of his military and security apparatus. What was reported yesterday in the British newspaper "Financial Times" was revealed to us by George Malbrunot, chief journalist of "Le Figaro", in an interview we conducted with him on the "Asas" website. Malbrunot said that the party's involvement in the Syrian war and its recruitment of large numbers of soldiers were an opportunity for Israel to penetrate it security-wise. This breach is what allowed the Mossad to provide the Israeli army with accurate information about the presence of military officials in the Party and their movements, even accompanying the Hezbollah leader on his way to chair a meeting in the suburb and assassinating him. We had written in a previous article in "Asas" (dated August 1, 2024) following the assassination of Fouad Shukr that "this brings us back to the talk of Israeli officials about Israel's ability to target Hassan Nasrallah himself. These are words that should have been taken seriously after Fouad Shukr was targeted. 

3- The third fact is that the Hezbollah, after the series of assassinations that began months ago and targeted its military leaders, was unable to dismantle any of the Israeli spy networks within its organisation. In his last appearance, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the decision to respond to the bombings on Tuesday and Wednesday would be within a narrow circle, indicating their size with his hands. However, his assassination showed that the security breach is also within this circle. And Israel continues to carry out assassinations. This is what Netanyahu announced in his speech at the United Nations. His Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, confirmed it, saying that the assassination of Nasrallah is not the last thing they would do. Indeed, the assassination of party leaders continues in Lebanon and Syria.

Destabilizing the Hezbollah and destroying Lebanon

4- The fifth fact is that the
Hezbollah not only suffered a major blow, as the Sayyed said in his last speech, but its political and military structures and frameworks were also shaken, especially after the assassination of its Secretary-General and senior leaders who were meeting with him. This makes it weaker in confronting Israel in this war. The election of a new Secretary-General and the appointment of a leader to replace his assassinated predecessor does not mean that the party has recovered and will regain the initiative. The blow is deep. Recovery from it will take months and perhaps years, and it is difficult to achieve during this type of war. Perhaps that is why the late Nasrallah agreed to a ceasefire, as Foreign Minister Abdullah Bou Habib revealed on CNN. [FW comment: This cannot be confirmed and is conceivably disinformation, since Nasrallah always linked a ceasefire to the end of hostilities in Gaza]

5- Last but not least, we must recall the truth that everyone knows, which is that Lebanon is not ready or able to bear this war either politically, economically, or socially. Ministers declare daily that their ministries are unable to bear the burden of displacement, which will reach the threshold of one million Lebanese and Syrian refugees. If the war continues, the little aid that reaches Lebanon today will stop tomorrow if Israel bombs the airport and surrounds the port.

The war on Lebanon is in its early stages. The confrontations in the south are at their most intense. All eyes are on the Israeli response to Iran, especially after it became known that it will be coordinated by the United States. Is targeting the Iranian nuclear program the goal? Will Netanyahu succeed in dragging Washington into this war?

The next few days will provide us with the answers. Perhaps they will reach us during the period between writing these lines and publishing them.

Beirut under bombs and rockets: the Israeli air force bombed districts of the Lebanese capital all night long



Top War
September 29th

Throughout the night, Israeli airstrikes hit the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The IDF bombarded the city in waves, hitting a wide variety of Beirut neighborhoods, including dense residential developments.

According to initial estimates, at least 40 civilians were killed and more than 200 injured in the overnight strikes. At least 17 others remain missing. Emergency services are working to remove debris. The rubble in the streets is hampering the movement of ambulances, which are also in short supply due to the large number of calls from across the capital.

Beirut is shrouded in clouds of smoke. There is no electricity in several neighborhoods of the Lebanese capital. There are also problems with the supply of drinking water.

With these bombings, the Israeli military and political leadership has shown that it does not accept the proposals of several countries to cease fire and begin the negotiation process.

In this context, reports indicate that the Israeli army is preparing to launch a ground invasion of the neighboring state in the next 24 hours, if not the next few hours. The Israeli army's armored vehicles, especially Merkava tanks, have been concentrated for several weeks near the southern border of Lebanon, with the crews awaiting orders.

In killing Nasrallah, Israel chose to open the gates of hell. We'll all pay the price



The West, via Israel, is fomenting for Hezbollah and the Shia resistance their own ISIS moment. Moderates are once again losing the argument – because we lost it for them 

Jonathan Cook
Sep 28, 2024

Hezbollah has confirmed that its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was among the hundreds of Lebanese killed in Israel’s massive bombardment of a suburb of Beirut last night.

Israel’s decision to assassinate Nasrallah, using some of the enormous bunker-busting bombs the United States has been arming it with, is beyond foolhardy. It is outright deranged. Israel has removed – and knows it has removed – a moderating influence on Hezbollah.

Israel’s action will achieve nothing apart from teaching his successor, and leaders of other groups and countries labelled as terrorist by western governments, several lessons:

* That Israel, and the West standing squarely behind it, do not play by any known rules of engagement, and that their opponents must do likewise. The current restraint from Hezbollah that has been so baffling western pundits will become a thing of the past.

* That Israel is not interested in compromise, only escalation, and that this is a fight to death – not just against Israel but against the West that sponsors Israel.

* That Israel's ideological extremism – its Jewish supremacism, and its endless craving for Lebensraum – must be met with even greater Shia-inspired extremism.

Decades of western terrorism in the Middle East unleashed a Sunni nihilism embodied first in al-Qaeda and then in ISIS.

Now, the West, via Israel, is fomenting for the Shia resistance its own ISIS moment. The moderates in what the West dubs “terrorist organisations” have once again lost the argument. Why? Because the US imperial project known as “the West” has once again demonstrated it will not compromise. It demands full-spectrum, global dominance – nothing less.

Israel may make very short tactical gains in killing Nasrallah. But we will all soon feel the whirlwind.

When that whirlwind comes, the job of our politicians and media will be to ensure we make no connection between this moment of savagery and insanity from us and the blowback.

The role of western establishments will be to cry victim, to insist “They hate us for our freedoms”, for our civilisational superiority, because “they” are simply barbarians.

But what comes next, as with what came before, will be entirely predictable. Violence doesn't beget calm, it begets more violence. Israel knows that. Our leaders know that. But they opened the gates of hell anyway.

(Disclaimer: Nothing in this post, in line with Section 12 of the UK Terrorism Act, in any way indicates, or should be seen to be encouraging, support for any group designated as a terrorist organisation by the British government.)

Discovering "Truth" amidst the diversity of viewpoints




Joseph Stroberg
25/09/2024

People are becoming so accustomed to the single-track thinking of the mainstream media that there is also tendency towards a single-track thinking in the alternative media.

There is only one Truth, but is it within the reach of individual human beings? One person will describe a house from its south side, another person will describe it from the north, another from the air in an airplane or helicopter, and another will go inside it. But each of them will describe it only from a particular angle. The Truth of the house can nevertheless result from the combination of these different points of view.

Even science cannot claim to have the Truth that it nevertheless actively seeks. While some of its theories have not yet been factually refuted and are therefore still considered valid
1, others are much more contested.2

Let us note that even a very reliable and unanimously accepted theory can only be considered truly scientific if it remains falsifiable and can be refuted by new discoveries that find fault with it or contradict it.

On the other hand, when a hypothesis becomes incontestable, such as the hypothesis of pathogenic viruses, each time it is found to be faulty, instead of being abandoned we apply new patches and excuses to allow it to linger on, despite the growing internal contradictions that this produces (and possibly a lack of fundamental evidence)
3. In this way, we abandon the scientific framework and enter into religious or ideological beliefs. Supporters of the hypothesis may still consider themselves "scientists", but they have become scientists, high priests or gurus who propagate their beliefs without ever again questioning them. Science, however, is based on doubt and permanent questioning.

Nowadays, in many areas, it seems that only two mutually exclusive narratives are allowed, and this allows the authorities to dismiss other, more inconvenient, explanations4 for the phenomena in question. This is how we see a dominant current, compatible with globalism, affirming that SARS-CoV-2 is natural, while another widespread current, supposedly "opposed" to globalism, affirms that this alleged virus which would be the cause of an allegedly new disease "Covid-19" was created in a P4 lab. This futile contest facilitates the erasure those who propose a third solution: namely that no virus has yet been scientifically isolated and that there is nothing new  or specific about covid symptoms, whose explanation is most likely to be sought elsewhere.

Another example is the battle between the supporters of covid vaccines and their opponents who promote the mRNA vaccine. Although several of these vaccines are not based on this supposed genetic technology, they nevertheless generate the same kinds of side effects. This unscientific conflict between vaccine advocates and anti-mRNA vaccine activists allows the erasure of those who bring up the existence of graphene in all types of covid vaccines, knowing that this substance is toxic and can explain the observed side effects.
5 However, patents and various analyses and observations tend to demonstrate the existence of an injectable nanotechnology that can transform human beings so as to include them in the Internet network.6

In our era which seems dominated by lies, manipulation, hypocrisy and corruption, a gauge of truthfulness vs lies can undoubtedly and likely be established on the basis of the following proposition:

The truth harms the establishment of a New World Order that is based on lies and the inversion of reality. By contrast, lies favour that order.

If we consider this proposition as well-founded (or true), then any hypothesis or story that supports the NWO is likely to be false.

Is the viral hypothesis harmful or useful to the New World Order?

The belief in evil viruses capable of invading human or animal bodies and multiplying there not only allows the enrichment of multinational
pharmaceuticals owned by the promoters of globalisation, but also to justifies totalitarian "health" measures without which such a NWO could hardly see the light of day.

Would the public and media-supported recognition of a vaccine nanotechnology which generates a universal identifier and connects the human body to the Internet be harmful or useful to the New World Order?

In combination with the coming CBDCs, this nanotechnology could be used to control not only the purchases of our
transhumanised human beings, but also their other actions. Would human beings let themselves be vaccinated as easily if they knew the primary and probable purpose of the injections? While a secondary goal may be the sterilisation of a part of Humanity in order to control the herd, the brutal depopulation suggested by some does not seem to be a real goal, because otherwise it would have been easy to use only lethal vaccine batches.

How to find the Truth beyond false dualities?

The Truth will most likely be found by not limiting oneself to the authorised narratives in either the mainstream or alternative media, but rather by exploring together all avenues and hypotheses, however incredible they may seem at first glance, and by making the individual and collective effort to question all of our beliefs, measuring them again and again against the facts. 

 

Notes

1 Like the fundamental laws of optics or those of thermodynamics.

2 As in medicine, biology in general, and in climatology.

3 Concerning the pseudoscience that virology has become, see in particular Aveuglés par la pseudo-science and Les sophismes logiques de la virologie. Virology has been refuted and its opponents expose its inability to provide real proof of the existence of a pathogenic virus, proof that virologists are currently unable to provide by following the scientific method. The latter cling to the dogma of evil viruses because they believe that it is the only way to explain what appears to them to be epidemic contagions. However, even if there were no alternative explanations for the apparent contagions, the viral hypothesis remains unproven and clinging to it is not a matter of reason, but of faith or emotional attachment.

4 Inconvenient to the powers that be.

Statement by Mike Yeadon



Apr 19, 2024

1. I, Mike Yeadon will say as follows. I have training in biochemistry and toxicology (1st class joint honours) followed by a research-based PhD in respiratory pharmacology. I then worked at increasingly senior levels in biopharmaceutical R&D (new medicines) and was vice president and worldwide head of allergy and respiratory at Pfizer. A position I left in 2011. After leaving my employment at Pfizer I took on work as a consultant to over 30 biotechnology companies and was very highly regarded both by investors and management. More recently I founded and led as CEO a biotech which was acquired by Novartis (2017).

2. I have a wide knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry, including all aspects of new medicine design, research, and development. In particular I have an in-depth knowledge of custom and practise in designing molecules likely to be safe, as well as of immunology and respiratory.

3. I provide the above outline of my credentials as evidence that as a senior former pharmaceutical company research executive I have the expertise and knowledge to make me a credible witness in speaking out about the grave concerns I have (concerns which are shared by others) about the alleged pandemic & countermeasures, especially the gene-based injections.

4. I have been raising these concerns now for a period of around for 3.5 years to date.

5. Overall it is my expert opinion that the injections purporting to be vaccines against an alleged virus (I say alleged, as no evidence has ever been provided of an isolated SARS-CoV-2 virus) are intentionally harmful, and as such must immediately be withdrawn from the market.

6. Below I will provide a short summary, which I have sought to make substantially non-technical, in explanation for why I have formed my opinion that that the injections as intentionally harmful and that as such they should be immediately withdrawn from the market.

7. However, before presenting my summary I will first make the following point, which I can substantiate.

8. In my view, the backdrop to this alleged “pandemic” is not a matter of medical and scientific issues, but a global crime scene of unprecedented scale and nature.

9. Claim 1: Choosing to invent, develop and manufacture a new vaccine is unquestionably the wrong response to a pandemic, even had the narrative presented to us not been false.

10. Given I have had an over 30-year career in “big pharma” and biotech, I knew that it was impossible to create a vaccine in under 5-6 years if they were going to demonstrate clinical safety and hone manufacturing to yield the customarily high-quality manufacturing necessary to produce tightly defined final drug product.

11. If this was not done, the product would be highly variable, and this is inherently dangerous. This is what has happened and the resulting variability of the product has completely invalidated any data obtained during toxicology and clinical development. In brief, the effect of overly expeditious development is that the product injected into literally billions of innocent men, women and children is not the same product as was used in the clinical trials.

12. No honest expert would even contemplate running a research program to bring forward a vaccine, because no pandemic in history has lasted a fraction of the minimum time necessary to create a safe and effective new vaccine. This timeline cannot be much shortened because a number of activities are performed in a stepwise manner, each step depending on the outcome of the preceding step.

13. In addition, we must consider the clinical context. We have been told of a public health emergency of international concern, where anyone could catch the virus and the elderly and already sick were particularly at risk of death. I believe this to be a deliberate deception, but even if we accept it, its vital to understand two things.

14. One, injected vaccines cannot and do not protect humans against acute respiratory illnesses believed to be due to respiratory viruses landing in the airways. This is because the immune response is primarily to stimulate the production of antibodies which circulate in the blood.

Antibodies are very large molecules and they are not able to leave the circulation and appear on the air side of the respiratory tract. In short, the product of the immune response to the vaccine and the virus itself do not meet, as they are in different bodily “compartments.”

15. Two, the very people we were told are particularly at risk, the elderly and sick, are in part, in this vulnerable state because their senescent immune systems respond poorly to new infectious disease threats. Why would anyone expect a good response to an injected vaccine? This is said to mimic a new infectious disease threat. It is important to note something very little known by the public but injected “flu vaccines” do not work. They do not reduce hospitalisation or death in the elderly. Yet flu vaccines have been promoted as a vital public health measure for decades and are paid for by taxpayers. Furthermore, even flu vaccines can lead to adverse events, sometimes serious, but this is not compensated by an expectation of protection against a threat to health, namely influenza. Now you know this, you may find it rather less difficult to believe that this industry is willing to lie and deceive in order to reach its objectives.

16. I have outlined why it is impossible to produce a safe and effective vaccine in much less than 5-6years, yet we are asked to accept that this has been accomplished in less than one year. I have also described why it is that an injected vaccine could not work, even if it was safe, in the setting we are told exists. Yet they went ahead. This is malevolent, as I will show.

17. Claim 2: Gene-based vaccines were advanced as the exclusive solution, but was a means to misuse the reduced regulatory hurdles for conventional vaccines in order to push gene therapies onto the market.

18. Vaccines have been developed and used against an increasing range of infectious disease targets rather widely since the middle of the 20th century and some are much older. Every vaccine until the covid pandemic era has involved taking a sample of the disease-causing agent and formulating it for injection or instillation into the airway. This has the advantage that the amount of pathogen is known and fixed. In many ways, this process mimics what we are told is a similar process to when we are infected by the wild pathogen. Many vaccines have been developed and marketed and over many decades, the makers, the regulators, doctors, and the public have acquired a common understanding of what kind of product these are and how to evaluate them. This is the background that has led to the regulatory pathway for their development. In certain regards, it has been appropriate to truncate or not even to study certain properties of “conventional vaccines” because they are uninformative and do not contribute anything to evaluation of the agent.

19. The preparations called vaccines in this alleged pandemic are in no way like these older products. Instead, these are gene-based agents, which commandeer the recipients’ cells to manufacture whatever is encoded in the gene sequence. This is a crucial difference, as I will exemplify later. But it is important to understand that there are additional steps in the biological response to gene- based agents as compared to old-style vaccines. Old style vaccines do not travel far from the injection site. The materials injected are suspensions, small pieces of cells and killed or weakened infectious agents. Our bodies are well-adapted to recognise that foreign materials have arrived and have evolved to respond appropriately to this event. The gene-based injections, by contrast, can and do travel all over the body, prompted to make foreign proteins in anatomical locations where the pathogen would be unable to reach, such as the brain.

20. Gene-based treatments are often called by a slang term “gene therapies.” This is an imprecise term and causes much argument, since it is often stated that they do not modify ones’ genes. That is not relevant. What is relevant is that it is a gene that is at the heart of the treatment. A gene is simply a code for the manufacture of a protein. These mRNA-based agents ARE, however, classified by their manufacturers as “gene therapies” for the purpose of describing to investors the nature of the development and commercial risks being run. Rightly so, for none of these products had reached the market by 2020, though there had been a number of unsuccessful attempts.

21. I first encountered the idea of mRNA-based therapeutics in the late-1990s, when I led respiratory research for Pfizer. I could see a potential clinical utility only in life-threatening, inoperable cancers that were unresponsive to chemotherapeutics and radiotherapy. Somewhat of a niche opportunity only.

22. The reason they were perceived to have some use in this narrow but important application is vital to understand, if I am to explain clearly why I am so sure that these are wholly inappropriate to protect against an alleged respiratory virus. The original idea was that a piece of genetic code coupled to something else that would enable the preparation to travel to and be taken up by the remote tumour. The cells making up that tumour would copy the genetic code and make whatever protein was encoded. Because that protein was foreign, and not normally made by humans, our immune systems would recognise that we had something foreign inside us and this would stimulate a lethal attack upon every cell that had taken up and followed the genetic instructions. This is a branch of what is called “immunooncology” and a number of companies have tried to develop such “gene therapies” as anti-cancer agents, so far without success. The crucial point to remember is that these preparations were expected to work by precipitating lethal immune attack on every cell that had taken it up.

23. Returning to the development pathway for these agents. Because they are new and unprecedented, the medicines regulators around the world have laid down onerous conditions for their development. Obviously, they are potentially very potent medicines and being new, great care was to be taken to avoid predicted as well as unanticipated harms. With new types of medical treatment, while some potential harms can be anticipated and characterised properly, other harms may arise which were not expected. This is why the development pathway for new types of powerful medical interventions are given especially tough review.

24. I now make an important point. In 2020, we are told that at least four biopharmaceutical companies decided to develop gene-based vaccines. As I explained earlier, conventional vaccines are given a somewhat easier time of it in relation to developmental obligations. Despite classifying to the financial markets their own products as “gene therapies” & subject to lengthy and expensive development obligations, they persuaded the medical regulators (and deceived the public) to classify them as “vaccines”. This was improper and was accompanied by bodies such as WHO and even dictionary makers to change the definition of the word vaccine to facilitate this deception.

25. Deception matters not because of mere naming conventions, but because the manufacturers knew that vaccines are much lighter in terms of development obligations. Even given this improper advantage, the makers of the gene-based vaccines failed to meet all, of even the relatively light development obligations. The end result has been billions of people being injected with mis-classified and inadequately tested gene-therapies. The adverse effect profiles and deaths as a consequence are extraordinary yet are being ignored by multiple bodies tasked with vigilance in patient safety. None of this can be constructed as accidental or inadvertent.

26. Claim 3: The design choices made in constructing the gene-based agents purporting to be vaccines are evidence of intentional harms.

27. Medicinal preparations contain molecules that were chosen by its designers. Nothing is in them that was not thoughtfully included. My career has been wholly within the sphere of endeavour called “rational drug discovery” or “rational drug design”. My main responsibility was to select biological targets for intervention with a chemical or a biological molecule, the latter usually being designed by more than one person. I was part of the design teams for decades. Our objective was to reach and interact with the molecular target, hoping to bring about desirable effects in patients, and to do so without inducing unacceptable unwanted effects, taking into account the seriousness of the illness at issue.

28. My contention is that, by close examination of the products of such design teams, I can, at least in part, deduce the intentions of the designers. It gives me no pleasure to lay out below several features of the design of the mRNA “vaccines” from Pfizer / BioNTech and from Moderna, ALL of which predictably give rise to toxicity. The features of interest are common to both products. There is no reasonable conclusion to this analysis other than that the designers intentionally created products which would be expected to cause harms including death and sterility.

29. Designed-in toxicity 1: axiomatic induction of “autoimmune” responses, regardless of what the genetic sequence codes for. As described earlier about how immunooncology was considered the leading application, when our bodies manufacture a foreign or non-self-protein, our immune system recognises this as a threat and mounts a lethal attack on every cell performing the genetic instruction. In short, wherever in the body these materials travel after injection into the upper arm, the immune system will destroy those cells and tissues. I believe it is very likely that the reported extensive range of adverse effects is due to this common process, autoimmune destruction, occurring in all kinds of tissues around the body. This is expected. Anyone with a basic knowledge of immunology knows this.

30. Designed-in toxicity 2: The next was choice of the gene chosen. I believe selecting the spike protein of the alleged coronavirus is irrational, because it was highly likely to be directly toxic. These surface proteins are known from comparison to related pathogens to be toxic to blood, initiating blood clots and damaging the function of nerve cells. Not only is it very dangerous to force human bodies to manufacture a pro-coagulant protein, it was unnecessary. There are several alternative genes that a safety-orientated designer would choose from.

31. In addition to the toxicity of spike protein, spike is, we are informed, subject to the most rapid mutation (so a vaccine might lose efficacy quickly) and also it is the least different from human proteins (and so might trigger bystander attacks on even somewhat similar self-proteins).

32. Yet all four leading players chose spike protein as their genetic coded antigen. What a coincidence! If I had been in one of the roles leading these efforts, I would ’have called up my peers in the other companies to ensure we did not do that. That is because from a strategic standpoint, it would be highly undesirable to have common risks to all programs.

33. Designed-in toxicity 3: On formulation, the teams developing mRNA-based products both selected lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to encapsulate their genetic message. Yet there was industry knowledge that these not only travel all over the body including into the brain but that they accumulate in the ovaries. Yet, knowing this, the companies and regulators went ahead and then others compounded the toxicity risk by recommending these injections in pregnant women and children.

34. This is not an exhaustive list and I am aware of further toxicity liabilities. I felt three was an adequate number to exemplify my concerns. Remember, please, that these agents are not expected to yield benefits as explained earlier and have been developed at a pace completely inconsistent with normal practise, absolutely required to result in a consistent product.

35. I am very confident of this conclusion. I have said so in more than 100 video interviews which have been viewed millions of times, despite the obvious efforts of censors. If these claims were completely wrong, I expected to have been corrected years ago and at least injuncted not to repeat the claims.

36. I know all the companies are aware of my views, because I sadly know three of the four individuals responsible for R&D on vaccines and I have written to them laying out my concerns. Not one replied, though one resigned a few months later without giving a reason, which is extraordinarily uncommon, because it results in forfeiture of very substantial deferred compensation.

37. Claim 4: The evolution of the target population, from initially only the elderly, eventually to everyone is confirmatory evidence of intentional harm.

38. This is simple to explain, but it is worth laying out. Recall at first, we were told that those most at risk from this alleged virus were the elderly who were already sick. Consistent with this, the first cohorts of the public invited to receive these injections were the over 60s.

39. Over a period of months, the threshold age for receiving the injections fell and continued to fall until healthy youngsters were being pressurised to get injected even though they had essentially no risk of death from the alleged virus.

40. Along the way, and outside of medical practise of 60 years standing, pregnant women were encouraged to get injected, too. There is no evidence that they were at risk. Even if they had been, it has been policy NEVER to expose pregnant women to novel medical treatments, because of the risks to the developing baby. The watershed event was thalidomide and this awful event set a firm, never breached red line not to allow risky interventions in pregnancy. Until 2021, when this red line was driven right over without comment. The manufacturers had not then even completed regulatory reproductive toxicology. They had absolutely no information, yet women were told it was safe, when in fact it was not.

41. Finally, children were called to be injected, even though the authorities had previously told us that children were at no risks from the alleged virus.

42. In conclusion there are several, completely obvious safety issues built into these products. This is intentional.

43. I was still slow to piece together all this evidence of carefully thought-out harms. But eventually I got there are and have been speaking in what many regard as extreme terms ever since.

With pager blasts and airstrikes, Israel unleashes its terror on Lebanon



Israeli leaders have threatened to replicate the ‘Gaza model’ in south Lebanon. But Hezbollah may prove to be an even more challenging foe than Hamas.

On the afternoon of Sept. 17, my phone buzzed with dozens of messages from friends in Beirut, who described the surreal scenes they had just witnessed. One friend saw a man’s face blow up while he was on a motorbike. Another said his sister was with her 2-year-old when she heard a loud bang, followed by a rush of people running toward them in terror. A third sent a clip of security camera footage from a grocery store, where a man reaches to grab his beeping pager before it explodes in his hand.

Although no one has officially claimed responsibility for the attack, everyone understood very well what had happened: Israel found a way to detonate simultaneously thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah members. In our text exchanges, my friends and I began to wonder how the Israelis pulled this off — and if this meant that all electronic devices in Lebanon were now at risk.

A similar attack occurred the following day, this time targeting Hezbollah’s walkie-talkies. In one highly publicized incident, an explosion at a funeral for Hezbollah members killed in the first attack sent mourners scrambling in fear. Across the two days, around 3,500 people were reported injured, many still in serious condition, and at least 42 people killed, including two children.

We later learned that the Hungarian company from which Hezbollah had acquired its communication devices was, in fact, an Israeli front. The devices were not intercepted and then bugged, but manufactured by Israel from the start — a “modern day Trojan horse,” as the New York Times called it. This was a sizable security breach for Hezbollah, which even the group’s secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, somberly acknowledged in a speech two days later.

But it now seems that the attacks of last week were the prelude for a more traditional — and more deadly — open phase of war. At the time of writing, Israel has launched multiple airstrikes throughout south Lebanon and the Bekaa valley, and countless Lebanese civilians are currently fleeing the area following “immediate” evacuation orders from the Israeli army.

So far, at least 492 people have been reported killed, including 35 children, and 1,645 wounded, and casualties are expected to rise. This makes Sept. 23, to quote Lebanese journalist Timour Azhari, the “deadliest day in memory in [the] Lebanon-Israel conflict,” and with Hezbollah launching rockets deeper into Israel, de-escalation is increasingly out of reach.

‘This cannot be the new normal’

For Justin Salhani, a journalist based in Beirut, the psychological impact of the pager attacks on Lebanon’s civilian population cannot be underestimated. People are “already fearful,” Salhani told +972, noting how many Lebanese have remained deeply traumatized since the devastating Beirut port explosion on Aug. 4, 2020.

Four years later, the harrowing scenes in Lebanese hospitals were repeating themselves. At the American University of Beirut’s medical center, one of the country’s largest and most prestigious facilities, it took two days for doctors and nurses to attend to the thousands of injuries from the first pager attack, according to a communications staffer at the hospital who spoke with Salhani. This was before the second wave of injuries from the walkie-talkie attacks.

Salhani and I were talking shortly before the Sept. 20 Israeli airstrike on the Dahiya neighborhood in southern Beirut, the third one this year, which killed Hezbollah’s operations commander Ibrahim Aqil, other senior members of the elite Radwan unit, and several civilians, including three children. Yet the device explosions stand out for their wide-ranging consequences — “not just for Hezbollah,” Salhani noted, but the future of warfare.

In the words of Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the pager attacks “represent a new development in warfare where communication tools become weapons.” He condemned the tactic as a violation of international law and a possible war crime, affirming that “this cannot be the new normal.”

But given Israel’s history of using warfare to test new military technology and strategy, there is no indication that Türk’s warning will have any impact — and the pager attacks may, like other lethal Israeli innovations, become quickly normalized.

Gaza has long been Israel’s preferred military laboratory, and Israeli start-ups that market “battle-tested” weapons have reaped the benefits. This has turned Gaza into a place where the most morbid world records have been broken — home, for example, to the highest percentage of child amputees, with around 10 children per day losing one or both of their legs to Israeli bombs, according to the UN.

But Lebanon, too, has been a key battleground for Israel to develop its military stratagem. First outlined by IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot during the 2006 war, the infamous Dahiya doctrine endorses “disproportionate” force to “the enemy’s actions and the threat it poses,” and includes specifically targeting civilian infrastructure “to an extent that will demand long and expensive reconstruction processes,” according to a 2009 report by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel. 

Anyone affected by Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon instinctively understands the Dahiya doctrine. And after the nearly year-long genocide in Gaza, which has seen the relentless destruction of entire cities, and recent statements from Israeli leaders, Lebanese citizens are firm in conviction that the Israeli military will not hesitate to inflict massive civilian casualties. Last November, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that “what we can do in Gaza, we can do in Beirut,” while last week, IDF Major General Ori Gordin proposed re-occupying south Lebanon to create a “buffer zone” with Israel.

Add to this the explicitly genocidal rhetoric emanating from Israeli society against the Palestinian people in Gaza, with both traditional and social media consumed by open calls for genocide, as well as by Israelis soldiers themselves in Gaza. To anyone who has experienced Israeli occupation and bombardment in Lebanon, the reports, images, and videos coming out of Gaza feel eerily familiar — and now they fear they will witness the same in their own country.

Hezbollah’s difficult calculus

At the beginning of 2022, I argued in +972 that “Hezbollah couldn’t ask for a better enemy than Israel,” given how Israeli escalatory rhetoric and actions have helped Hezbollah justify the maintenance of its military hegemony in Lebanon. This is only more true today: pointing to Israel’s actions in Gaza, and now increasingly in Lebanon, Hezbollah can tell its supporters that no compromise with the Israeli state is possible, and that without armed resistance, Lebanese civilians will suffer the crimes that begin the moment Israeli troops enter any Arab territory.

As some analysts have pointed out, the Israeli attacks are likely to drive Hezbollah further underground — for some members, quite literally. In August, Hezbollah released a Hebrew-subtitled video, reposted by Israel’s own Foreign Affairs Ministry on YouTube, showing a hidden tunnel in Lebanon wide enough to fit large missile launchers and a convoy of trucks. It is not known how many similar tunnels exist. 

Keeping the extent of this underground network a secret is naturally part of Hezbollah’s psychological warfare against Israel. It is a way of reminding the latter that — unlike Hamas and the densely populated Gaza Strip — Hezbollah operates in a much larger territory with no such restrictions, with much greater physical access to its allies in Iran and Syria than Hamas under Israel’s blockade.

Meanwhile, threats by Israeli leaders to apply its “Gaza model” to Lebanon risks pushing some Hezbollah members to employ more irregular warfare tactics, which the Israeli army has historically had difficulty confronting, such as ambushes, hit-and-run attacks, and other cross-border incursions.

This is especially true if Israel attempts another ground invasion of south Lebanon — a territory that Hezbollah has operated from as a guerrilla group since the 1980s, with increasingly sophisticated weapons after each round of fighting, and a more battle-hardened force since their interventions in Syria.

In other ways, however, Hezbollah is in a precarious domestic position. There is no sizable appetite for a war with Israel in a country that is still feeling the effects of one of the world’s worst economic crises, especially since the Beirut port explosion. The group’s decision to support Hamas after October 7 has, for these same reasons, also been highly controversial. It is, as of now, also unclear to what extent Hezbollah can rely on Iran’s direct support if that would bring an all-out war to Tehran’s own doorstep.

But without international pressure to stop the openly exterminationist policies of the Netanyahu government, Hezbollah may be pushed to a point of no return — with unimaginable consequences for the region.
