Mpox: It’s not just about money!

There’s a meme spreading through social media that the key to the latest scare stories about monkeypox - now called ‘mpox’ - is just about removing the ‘k’ and knowing it’s all about the money!!

I’m not denying that money may well be one component, but I don’t believe it is the only one we need to consider in order to understand what’s going on.

So let’s dive in to some of the ‘stories’ taken, as usual, from articles on the BBC website, unless otherwise stated, to find what else is behind it all.

1. Mpox declared public health emergency in Africa

This first article acknowledges the name change and begins with the ominous statement that,

“Mpox, the high infectious disease that used to be called monkeypox, has been declared a public health emergency in Africa by the continent’s top health body.”

The article also refers to,

“The virus, which can cause lesions across the whole body….”

The assertions that 1) this is an ‘infectious disease’ and 2) ‘the virus’ causes lesions, have no scientific basis to support them, as I have discussed in many of my previous articles, as well as in What Really Makes You Ill? Why Everything You Thought You Knew About Disease Is Wrong (WRMYI)

The ‘top health body’ is effectively the African CDC, which is a key part of the ‘mainstream medical establishment’ and inevitably determined therefore to maintain the validity of ‘the germ theory’. And the medical establishment will continue to propagate this unproven theory until sufficient numbers of people stop believing it to be true. We’re moving in that direction, but not quite there - yet!

It is to assist this process that I continue to write these articles that expose the lack of evidence for ‘pathogenic germs’ of any description, not just ‘viruses’; to help more people understand that there is no validity whatsoever to the ‘germ theory’.

However, there is a comment in the article that deserves far more attention than it is probably receiving,

“The declaration of a public health emergency will help governments co-ordinate their response and potentially increase the flow of medical supplies and aid into affected areas.”

To explain what I mean, here’s an extract from WRMYI

The key section to emphasise is,

“EIS officers comprise some of the key personnel that travel to the location of a disease ‘outbreak’, whether in the US or elsewhere in the world. Their function is to carry out the necessary investigation to identify the cause of the disease and to implement the appropriate solutions to contain the problem.”

This may sound benign and even altruistic, but it permits interventions by the EIS officers of the US in other countries with the specific aim of imposing the Western model of ‘healthcare’, which has been shown to be seriously if not fatally flawed, especially with respect to what are claimed to be ‘infectious diseases’.

Is it possible that there could be a different agenda for these ‘interventions’ in addition to the stated aim?

I’d suggest the answer is yes and that we need to also contemplate the possibility that other ‘operatives’ are also involved and that these may be some of the other personnel who travel with EIS officers to African countries, but have a rather different purpose for their presence than helping to identify the cause of any health ‘problem’. They could be seeking opportunities to gain greater control in those regions of the world in various ways, such as through land grabs for example.

Land grabs are by no means a new phenomenon! But they may serve a different function now than they have previously served.

The usual justification for ‘land-grabs’ is that they are necessary to help solve the world’s food production problems. But the 2008 global economic crisis resulted in large scale purchases of farmland, particularly in ‘developing’ countries, as discussed in a November 2010 article entitled The new farm owners: Corporate investors lead the rush for control over overseas farmland, which states that

“For the past two years, investors have been scrambling to take control of farmland in Asia, Africa and Latin America.”

Investors are not farmers!

Farmers utilise land for the production of food, which will help people who are hungry. By contrast, investors hold land merely as an ‘investment’, often leaving it entirely unused. This will not help to ‘feed the world’.

I would point out that goal 2 of the 2030 Agenda is ‘Zero Hunger’. The aim of target 3 of SDG2 can be seen below.

 

The ‘scramble’ for farmland by corporate investors directly contradicts the aim of SDG 2.3; yet UN Member States have failed to recognise this contradiction, even though the problem of ‘world hunger’ is recognised to have worsened. The reason for this failure is because the ‘leaders’ of all countries that have signed up to the UN agreements have been coerced to comply. Dissenting voices are not allowed in the UN!!

Land grabs are not the only ‘reasons’ for interventions, but control of land does permit control of resources of all kinds and Africa is rich in resources, especially mineral resources that are vital for technology; more on this shortly.

2. What is mpox and how is it spread?

This story is an attempt to make people believe there is a new and more deadly ‘strain’ of this alleged disease,

“The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says it is more worrying than previous outbreaks because it involves a dangerous new variant of the disease.”

This is an attempt to reinforce the idea that viruses can have ‘variants’. But this too is unproven; there can be no ‘variants’ of something that has not been proven to exist in the first place.

Again, this is why the ‘no virus’ position is so important - and also, why it is resisted so strongly!

The article also claims that,

“The virus was originally transmitted from animals to humans but now also passes between humans.”

The purpose of this comment is to not only make us afraid of animals but to also keep us afraid of each other, now that we have returned to being sociable and gathering in groups.

Are they trying to prepare us for more lockdowns?

Interestingly, the so-called ‘monkeypox virus’ is claimed to be,

“… from the same group of viruses as smallpox but is much less harmful.”

The WHO claims that ‘smallpox’ has been eradicated, although this claim is highly dubious because, as I discussed in my previous article about monkeypox, the vaccine that was used in the so-called ‘eradication programme’ is recognised to have dangerous ‘side effects’ that include death. Well, death is definitely one way to eradicate disease!

One of the more obvious outcomes they are seeking to achieve is to encourage more people to be vaccinated against as many diseases as possible, which is after all, the objective of SDG 3.8 of the 2030 Agenda. 

Importantly, African countries, especially those in the sub-Saharan region of the continent, are particular targets for increased vaccine coverage; as demonstrated by a 2015 article entitled WHO strives to provide universal access to immunization in the African Region by 2020, which states the aim to,

“...ensure that every child in the African Region has access to life-saving vaccines.”

I know we are beyond 2020, but this is a typical example of the ongoing efforts to implement vaccination programmes throughout the African continent, especially those areas that they have yet to penetrate, which would seem to be the sub-Saharan region that is the focus of a substantial proportion of the WHO policies.

Another reason for focusing on Africa is because it is claimed that the population of this continent is rising at a faster rate than anywhere else, a statistic that is highly dubious because it is almost certainly based on estimates and extrapolations; there has never been an actual head count of every single person who lives in Africa. Nevertheless, this is the standard narrative used for many aspects of the Agenda, not least of which is so-called ‘climate change’, which will be the topic of a separate article.

According to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) web page, 2017 World Population Data Sheet, the world population is projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050 and that,

“…Africa’s population will more than double to 2.6 billion by 2050…”

The purpose of this statement is clearly to instil fear; it is intended to convey the impression that such a population increase would create a huge ‘problem’, but this claim fails to recognise that Africa, a resource-rich region of the world, is the second largest continent with a land area of approximately 30.3 million km2. It also fails to recognise that, even if this population growth were to occur, the continent would not be overcrowded, nor would Africans be unable to feed themselves, especially if they reject the industrial agriculture system that they are being encouraged to adopt. The Green Revolution failed in India - and it will fail in Africa, as has already been seen.

3. First case of more dangerous mpox found outside Africa

The significance of this latest alleged ‘outbreak’ is that it is claimed to be caused by ‘mpox Clade 1’, which is said to be more severe than ‘Clade 2’ that is the alleged cause of the 2022 ‘public health emergency’.

The person who is claimed to be the first case of mpox outside Africa is said to have been ‘infected’ during a stay there. The article states,

“The news comes just hours after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the outbreak of mpox in parts of Africa was now a public health emergency of international concern.”

Now isn’t that amazingly convenient? They ‘found’ the only person outside Africa to have seemingly been infected with mpox straight after they made their declaration that this is a a public health emergency. Isn’t it wonderful for them that they found the one person able to ‘prove’ to the world that this story is ‘real’?

The truth is, of course, that it is not real; it’s just more fear-mongering.

So what is their claim based on? How do they ‘know’ this person has been ‘infected’ by a new and more dangerous strain of mpox?

As the WHO website shows, PCR is the test used to determine if a person has been ‘infected’ by mpox.

The problems with the PCR test have been discussed at length elsewhere, but suffice it to say, there is no evidence that this test has the ability to determine whether a person has been infected or is ill with a ‘disease’. It is a meaningless test!

This therefore raises the question: So why are people in Africa ill with this condition?

IF - and this is a big if - there is a genuine increase in people displaying the symptoms attributed to mpox, I would suggest that there are a number of possible factors to consider.

First of all, it’s important to consider the photos we are shown alongside these articles about mpox; they display skin eruptions, which are indicative of the body’s efforts to purge toxins. I cannot give the definitive answer as to the cause(s), but I can offer a few suggestions about some of the possible contributing factors.

One of these factors involves ‘e-waste’, the volume of which is immense, as is its value. This is demonstrated by a May 2015 article entitled Illegally Traded and Dumped E-Waste Worth up to $19 Billion Annually Poses Risks to Health, Deprives Countries of Resources, Says UNEP Report, which states that,

“Each year, the electronic industry – one of the world’s largest and fastest growing – generates up to 41 million tonnes of e-waste from goods such as computers and smart phones.”

As the electronics and telecommunications industries continue to grow, the problem of e-waste will inevitably worsen for ‘developing’ countries; as that 2015 article states,

“Africa and Asia are key destinations for large-scale shipments of hazardous wastes for dumping, and sometimes for recycling.”

Africa is also rich in resources that have to be mined. The conditions in mines are inherently hazardous and mining is a known source of exposure to harmful substances that adversely affect health. More importantly, some of these substances, which are harmless when allowed to remain undisturbed deep within the ground, become hazardous when brought to the surface, because that is not where they ‘belong’. In addition, bringing these substances to the surface means that they no longer play their role underground, which in turn causes even more disruption to the environment that is now out of balance!

As I said at the beginning, there’s more to the narrative of ‘mpox’ than just the money, although money does play a significant role. But I hope I’ve added some more nuance to the story so that we don’t fall into too many traps of thinking we ‘know’ what something is all about.

I would also urge continuing vigilance, especially if we are being asked to contribute to some ‘charity’ that is attempting to ‘help the poor people of Africa’ for example. If you think I’m being mean-spirited, I would suggest you look into how much of the money raised by LiveAid actually helped ‘the poor people of Africa’.

On a lighter note, one thing that has been heartwarming is that the mpox story has been recognised as ridiculous and received a great deal of laughter, which is certainly one of the key methods of dispelling fear.

From chickenpox to mpox: we don't want to call things by their name

mpr21
August 17th

Many people like to “call things by their name”, but this is not the case for those who define and catalogue diseases, such as the ICD (International Classification of Diseases).

There are more and more such repertoires, which express the dominance exercised by certain organisations and, above all, by those who manage them. Nebrija explained it 500 years ago with the first grammar of Spanish: language is the perfect instrument of empire, or in other words, “the class war is the pencil that writes the dictionaries”.

The nomenclature of diseases demonstrates this, although now it is the WHO that administers the empire. If Nebrija wanted to teach the American Indians how to speak, now it is the WHO that wants to teach doctors how to speak.

This international organisation acts as a shaman. It gives names to some diseases whilst removing others. In this way it seems that some diseases are ending (thanks to vaccines) and new ones are appearing, which humanity had not known about until the WHO published its catalogues.

For example, in 2020 a new disease appeared that no doctor had ever known, because no medical school had it registered in its annals: “Covid.” Despite this, one hundred thousand scientific articles were published that year about “Covid,” something never before seen in history. The question is: how can such a large number of articles be written about something that was unknown to everyone?

A hundred years earlier, before the WHO even existed, the empire called the flu that appeared in Kansas during the First World War “Spanish,” as if by accident. Perhaps it was precisely by being “Spanish” that this flu killed many more than the flus usually kill when winter comes to Kansas.

All the pandemics that have broken out lately have something in common: that the outbreak appears in countries other than our own. For example, “Covid” emerged in Wuhan, China, and that is why Trump called it the “Chinese virus.” As a result of the anti-Chinese hysteria caused by Trump and his cronies, more than 9,000 attacks against people of Chinese or Asian origin occurred in the United States between March 2020 and June 2021.

However, the most common source of infection is always the Third World. They are to blame and we are the victims. “mpox” has spread from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, although it was not called that before but rather “monkeypox” because the WHO changed its name in 2022. Anyone who goes back a little further in time knows that “mpox” is the traditional chickenpox (herpes zoster).

But scientists, like musicians, also need to pretend to originality, like they have discovered something new under the sun. The empire that writes medical articles claims that chickenpox and “mpox” are not the same disease because they are caused by different families of viruses . That is why they are pulling out variants and strains, which are increasingly lethal, or more contagious, or both at the same time.

However, in four years of “covid” many thousands of strains of the same virus have appeared (or been invented), says Wikipedia, but each one of them has not caused a different disease. Sometimes the strains cause the same disease, sometimes they cause different diseases, and there are even variants that do not cause any disease, Wikipedia tells us. It all depends on what the empire wants to prove at any given time.

The Lancet journal has denounced “stigma, racism and discrimination” in the naming of diseases, because there's no doubt that it all fits together: Africans are monkeys, the links in the evolutionary process that remained stagnant on the Black Continent.

Infectious diseases, such as the black death, have always been a social stigma throughout history and “mpox” confirms the data. Epidemiologists now call them “risk groups” and, when they want to be more refined and elegant, they talk about “risk practices”, as in the days of AIDS.

The white man has to take care to keep the blacks as far away as possible. But also the Mongols, because Down syndrome (trisomy 21) always carried the name of origin of that Asian country.

Naturally, the Mongols did not give themselves the name of the disease. It is always the empire that gives names and labels to its subordinates.

Even meteorologists have joined in the verbal flirtations and fill their intellectual void with an inexhaustible battery of neologisms. Either they want to seem original, or new atmospheric phenomena have appeared that did not exist before.

For example, they're giving the term “isolated depression at high levels” (dana in Spanish) to what has always been called “cold drop”, a term derived from the German “kaltlufttropfen”, which has been known to us since 1886 and which, in 1982, killed 38 people in the east of Spain.

In the absence of precise concepts, pseudo-ecologists could compile a voluminous dictionary of neologisms: sustainability, anthropocene, decarbonisation, greenhouse effect, water stress, thermal stress, humid burst, thermal sensation, climate refuges…

One of the new words invented by the green nonsense has a psychiatric tone. It is “solastalgia”, which they also call “ecological pain”. This is the melancholy caused by the loss of the traditional environment or the means of livelihood that have sustained people for centuries: vegetation, forests, rivers, glaciers…

If someone wants to invent a pseudoscience, they must start by coining their characteristic verbiage.

Smotrich: It may be ‘justified’ to starve 2 million Gazans, but world won’t let us

Far-right minister expresses support for resettling Gaza, says October 7 wouldn’t have happened had it not been for 2005 disengagement from Strip

Times of Israel
5 August 2024

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich implied on Monday that he believes blocking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is “justified and moral” even if it causes two million civilians to die of hunger, but the international community won’t allow that to happen.

“We bring in aid because there is no choice,” Smotrich said at a conference in Yad Binyamin hosted by the right-wing Israel Hayom outlet. “We can’t, in the current global reality, manage a war. Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned.

“Humanitarianism in exchange for humanitarianism is morally justified — but what can we do? We live today in a certain reality, we need international legitimacy for this war.”

Smotrich asserted that barring humanitarian aid from Gaza was more likely to get all the hostages being held by Hamas released, as opposed to the current hostage-for-ceasefire deal that is being negotiated and only ensures the release of some.

“Everyone wants to bring the hostages back, but the deal only gets a minority of hostages and condemns the majority and therefore it’s not right and not moral and it endangers the nation,” he said, adding that he was against releasing terrorists from Israeli prisons in exchange for hostages.

He claimed that Hamas plundering the aid that is sent in is the “main factor” extending the war.

The far-right minister said that while he supports Israel resettling Gaza, he hasn’t demanded that this be defined as one of the war’s goals. He argued, though, that if Israel hadn’t pulled out of Gaza in 2005, the October 7 massacre would never have happened.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said it is unrealistic to resettle Gaza, angering far-right allies.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, announced in May that he was seeking arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for, among other charges, “causing starvation as a method of war including the denial of humanitarian relief supplies.”

After the war began with Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, in which terrorists killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages [FW comment: the "terrorists" were not solely responsible for this toll, as many casualties resulted from Israel's own "Hannibal Directive"] the government announced a blockade on the Gaza Strip in which no humanitarian aid would be allowed. However, by the end of October, Israel had agreed to resume entry of aid at US President Joe Biden’s urging.

Over the past 10 months of war, Israel has repeatedly been accused of not allowing enough aid into the Strip. A number of solutions were attempted, including airdropping aid packages into Gaza or delivering aid by sea via a temporary US-built pier, but ultimately, truckloads of supplies entering via ground crossings were found to be the best method.

Israel, meanwhile, has been highlighting its efforts to expand humanitarian aid to Gaza and blaming the humanitarian crisis on aid agencies failing to properly distribute supplies and on looting of aid trucks by terror groups and gangs.

It is believed that 111 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza, including the bodies of 39 confirmed dead by the IDF.

Hamas released 105 civilians during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released before that. Seven hostages have been rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 24 hostages have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the military as they tried to escape their captors.

Over 70,000 tons of bombs dropped on Gaza:

Susan Wojcicki, former YouTube CEO responsible for guidelines against “disinformation and hate speech,” has died at the age of 56

 

Fourth World
August 15th

Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has died at the age of 56. She died Friday from a non-small-cell lung cancer, according to a Facebook post by her husband Dennis Troper.

Susan Diane Wojcicki was the daughter of a Russian-Jewish educator and a Polish-American physics professor at Stanford University. Wojcicki worked as CEO of YouTube from 2014 through 2023. A decade ago, YouTube was an unprecedented resource for free expression. But during Wojcicki's tenure, it transitioned from being the least censorious of the Big Tech social media companies to being the most censorious. Wojcicki clamped down on videos covering vaccine issues, the Deep State, secret cults, hate speech and extremism. It demonetised and removed tens of millions of videos, and shut down channels. This led to many YouTubers leaving the platform and joining younger, freer alternatives such as Odysee and Rumble.

These policies reached a crescendo in the period of 2020 - 2021. Wojcicki's collaboration with the Biden administration aimed to address so-called "vaccine hesitancy". New algorithms surfaced only "trusted information" from "authoritative sources" and video creators were urged to only disseminate such sources.

Wojcicki attended a World Economic Forum event in 2022 at which she proudly admitted to her censorship policy and her suppression of all information that could potentially have helped people avoid the Covid vaccine.

"If you look at COVID" she said, "we came up with ten different policies that we said would be violative – like an example of that would be saying that 'COVID came from something other than a virus,'" Wojcicki said at the gathering.

Today, information that was ruthlessly suppressed during the supposed "pandemic" is now more freely permitted on You Tube, although any videos contradicting WHO health policies are still routinely removed.

Given the massive explosion of various cancer types following the Covid jab, there has been ample online speculation that Wojcicki has been a victim of her very own faith in this dangerous pseudo-medical intervention.

 

US Infant Mortality Reaches Twenty-Year Apex

Ben Bartee
Jul 27, 2024

This week in gaslighting that will blow your socks off, The Science™ has a conjured a fascinating new scapegoat upon which to heap blame for the growing mountains of dead babies over the past few years.

Via CNN (emphasis added)

“The infant mortality rate in the United States rose in 2022, the first jump in 20 years, according to data released Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

More than 20,500 babies died in 2022 before the age of 1, final records show. Overall, there were 5.6 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births, a 3% increase from the year before.

Infant mortality in the US has been generally trending down since at least 1995, when consistent tracking started, but rates are still much higher in the US than they are in many peer nations. There have been some small upticks over that time, but 2022 was the first time there was a statistically significant increase since 2002, according to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.”

Here is CNN, relying for some reason to make this expert assessment on an assistant sociology professor, grasping at straws to blame… drumroll… abortion restrictions for the infant mortality jump, despite the fact that any abortion restrictions due to the overturning of Roe v Wade were instituted in the extreme latter half of 2022 and were only in certain states, whereas this study points to a spike in dead babies across the nation.

Continuing:

“Covid-19 also probably played a significant role in the rise in infant mortality in 2022, [demographer and assistant professor of sociology at the University of Colorado Boulder] Stevenson said. Infections in pregnant women who were exposed to the coronavirus during the major surges in 2021 could have affected infants who would be born in 2022…

Recent research has drawn some connections between infant mortality and abortion restrictions, finding that infant deaths spiked in Texas after the state passed a law in September 2021 that banned nearly all abortions beyond about six weeks of pregnancy.”

Escalation in Middle East: Netanyahu’s High-Stakes Gamble Risks Regional Escalation

Geopolitics
August 1, 2024

The recent assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran has sent shockwaves through the Middle East, potentially derailing ceasefire negotiations and risking a wider regional conflict.

This bold move by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has drawn sharp criticism from various quarters and raised concerns about the stability of the entire region.

The Assassination and Its Immediate Aftermath

On Wednesday, Ismail Haniyeh, who had led Hamas’ political arm since 2017, was killed in what Hamas claimed was an Israeli attack on his residence in Tehran. Haniyeh was visiting Iran to attend the inauguration of the country’s newly elected president. This assassination came just hours after Israel had bombed the Lebanese capital of Beirut, reportedly targeting a Hezbollah commander.

The timing of these attacks is particularly significant, as they occurred shortly after top officials from Israel, Egypt, Qatar, and the United States met in Rome to continue negotiations for a possible deal to end Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. The killing of Haniyeh, a key figure in these negotiations, has been widely interpreted as a deliberate attempt to undermine the peace talks.

Netanyahu’s Strategy and Criticism

Critics argue that Netanyahu’s actions are calculated to prolong the conflict, potentially safeguarding his political career. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, stated, “Netanyahu has systematically sabotaged ceasefire talks because ending the war will likely end his political career.” Parsi further suggested that the assassination buys Netanyahu several weeks, if not months, during which there will be no serious expectation of a ceasefire deal.

This perspective is shared by others, including Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American Council, who warned that “Netanyahu isn’t playing chicken, he wants to crash the car.”

Regional and International Reactions

The assassination has prompted strong reactions from various countries and organizations:

1. Iran: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed a “harsh response,” and reports suggest that Iran is considering retaliatory strikes against military targets near Tel Aviv and Haifa.
2. Egypt: Officials stated that Haniyeh’s killing signals Israel’s lack of “political will for deescalation.”
3. Qatar: The prime minister questioned how mediation could succeed when one party assassinates the negotiator on the other side.
4. United States: Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. was “not aware of or involved in” the assassination.
5. United Nations: Iran’s UN ambassador, Amir-Saeed Iravani, called upon the Security Council to take immediate and decisive action against recent Israeli attacks in Tehran and Beirut.

Legal and Diplomatic Implications

The assassination raises significant legal and diplomatic questions. The International Criminal Court’s top prosecutor, Karim Khan, had been seeking an arrest warrant against Haniyeh for war crimes committed on October 7. Interestingly, Khan has also applied for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Iran has called the assassination a “serious infringement on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iran” and a “blatant violation of the basic norms and principles of international law.” The country has urged the UN Security Council to condemn the act unequivocally and take decisive action against Israel.

The Risk of Regional Escalation

The assassination of Haniyeh, coupled with the recent strike in Beirut, significantly increases the risk of a wider regional conflict. Israel’s actions have left it open to retaliation from Hamas, Hezbollah, and other resistance groups in the region, as well as from Iran itself.

This escalation comes at a time when the region is already tense. Earlier this year, Israel killed several Iranian commanders in a strike on Tehran’s consulate in Syria’s capital, prompting Iran to retaliate with a drone attack. The current situation threatens to push this cycle of retaliation to new and potentially catastrophic levels.

The Impact on Peace Negotiations

The assassination has dealt a severe blow to ongoing peace negotiations. Prior to this event, there were signs of progress in ceasefire talks, despite disagreements over issues such as the extent of Israeli forces remaining in Gaza during a truce and the duration of any ceasefire.

With Haniyeh’s death, these negotiations are likely to be put on hold indefinitely. This delay not only prolongs the suffering in Gaza but also increases the likelihood of further violence and retaliation across the region.

International Community’s Role

The international community now faces a critical test. The UN Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting, requested by Iran and supported by Russia, China, and Algeria. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed concern over the attacks in Beirut and Tehran, viewing them as a “dangerous escalation” of the conflict in the region.

There are growing calls for the international community, particularly the Security Council, to take concrete actions to hold Israel accountable and prevent further violations of international law.

Conclusion

The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with potential repercussions far beyond the immediate region. As tensions rise and the threat of wider conflict looms, the international community’s response will be crucial in determining the course of events in the coming weeks and months.

The situation underscores the fragility of peace in the Middle East and the potential for localized conflicts to spiral into regional conflagrations. As the world watches and waits for the next developments, the hope for a peaceful resolution seems more distant than ever, while the specter of a broader war looms ever larger on the horizon.

More Evidence of Prolonged Presence of LNPs Found in Vaccinated's Blood

JJ Starky 

Jul 31, 2024

A recent study by a group of immunologists, microbiologists, and other scientists from leading Australian academic research centres has raised concerns about the use of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) in humans.

The group included experts from the University of Melbourne, Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, Monash University, and RMIT University.

Despite their application in drug delivery systems, particularly in oncology, LNPs were relatively unknown to the public and not widely used before Covid mRNA vaccines.

                                                  Structure of mRNA-LNP

We had limited understanding of their effects on bio-distribution (how substances spread throughout the body) and immunogenicity (how substances provoke an immune response) until mass vaccine rollouts.

Stephen Kent, Ph.D., a distinguished Professorial Fellow in Microbiology and Immunology, and his colleagues recently published a new preprint study analysing their effects.

They hypothesised certain antibody-responses might increase the clearance rate of mRNA vaccines (how rapidly the body removes a vaccine or its components).

Researchers measured this clearance rate by testing blood samples from 19 individuals who received Moderna’s SPIKEVAX mRNA booster. The participants, aged 24-70 (mean age 42), with 63% being female, had received 3-4 doses of monovalent Covid vaccines before receiving the bivalent mRNA vaccine.

Taking these measurements, Professor Kent and his team found that both the mRNA (really modified-RNA) and LNPs peaked in the blood 1-2 days post-vaccination.

More importantly, however, "The mRNA was detectable for 14-28 days post-vaccination in most subjects," the researchers reported. "We measured the proportion of mRNA that remained intact in the blood over time and found that the decay kinetics of the intact mRNA and ionizable lipid (one key component of LNPs which have been widely used for the systemic delivery of RNA therapeutics) were identical, suggesting the intact lipid nanoparticle recirculates in the blood."

Their findings directly contradict prevailing industry and regulatory literature, suggesting that LNPs used in mRNA vaccines do not circulate in the blood for prolonged periods.

Pfizer, Moderna, the FDA, and various academic institutions have all stated that during vaccination, the LNPs rapidly deliver the mRNA into cells, where it is translated into the spike protein antigen to elicit an immune response.

They also say LNPs are typically taken up by cells near the injection site and within draining lymph nodes shortly after vaccination. According to them, most LNPs clear from the bloodstream within hours.

"Taken together, our results suggest vaccine mRNA lipid nanoparticles recirculate for up to 1 month post-vaccination," Kent and colleagues concluded. That is up to, it could be longer.

The authors declared no competing interests and disclosed that funding primarily derived from the Australian Research Council, the primary non-medical research funding agency of the Australian Government. Something they perhaps got away with as they marketed the study to help the safety of future mRNA-LNP therapeutics.

Professor Kent has published over 300 scientific papers and is well-recognised for his studies on T cell and antibody immunity to HIV and Influenza. He has given over 100 invited talks and seminars and has won multiple awards for his research.

There was a substantial amount of compromising information mainstream media omitted about Moderna in the run up to their product’s emergency approval.

In fact, before the pandemic, from 2016, the company was struggling, losing key executives, talent, and investors rapidly.

Their promises of "revolutionising" medicine and the persuasive abilities of CEO Stéphane Bancel stood as the major pillars for any potential future success. But their extreme secrecy meant it had yet to prove it could deliver on its claims.

Complicating matters, a competitor's patents threatened Moderna's profitability, and issues with its mRNA delivery system led to the abandonment of multi-dose treatments due to toxicity concerns.

They claimed to have solved the LNP toxicity problem. Yet, comments made by Moderna in a November 2018 SEC filing suggested otherwise, outlining systemic side effects from their LNP formulations and ongoing struggles with safety concerns.

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb extensively documented Moderna’s recent history up to 2020. You can read her two part series here.

Of course, we’re meant to observe the latter as nothing more than a series of unfortunate events. In 2021, the trials were a resounding success; the regulators thought so too, and all toxicity concerns vanished into the ether.

It was thus anointed, “safe and effective”.
