Definition: An iatrogenic disorder is an illness that is caused by a medication, a vaccine or a medical caregiver.
It is important for readers to understand that EVERY wealthy/powerful industry (or prominent individual), including every pharmaceutical/vaccine corporation, every medical industry entity, every Hollywood/Media/political/sports celebrity, every cult leader and certain presidents, will do whatever they can to deny, obscure or lie about their guilty practices in order to avoid embarrassment, loss of prestige, lawsuits, campaigns or risks to future profits.
In a recent New Yorkerprofile of Pete Buttigieg, one sentence stands out: “Watch Buttigieg long enough and you notice that he uses abstraction as an escape hatch.” Evasive platitudes are also routine for Joe Biden, the other major Democratic presidential candidate running in what mainstream journalists call “the center lane.”
Jim Hightower has observed that “there’s nothing in the middle of the road except yellow lines and dead armadillos.” Or, we might say, party lines and deadening politics.
Like other so-called “moderate” politicians, Buttigieg and Biden dodge key questions by plunging into foggy rhetoric. They’re incapable of giving a coherent and truthful account of power in the United States because they’re beholden to corporate-aligned donors. Those donors want to hear doubletalk that protects their interests, not clear talk that could threaten them.
The United States is now at war with Iran in a conflict that could easily have been avoided and it will not end well. There will be no declaration of war coming from either side, but the assassination of Iranian Quds Force Commander General Qassem Soleimani and the head of Kata’ib Hezbollah Abu Mehdi Muhandis by virtue of a Reaper drone strike in Baghdad will shift the long-simmering conflict between the two nations into high gear. Iran cannot let the killing of a senior military officer go unanswered even though it cannot directly confront the United States militarily. But there will be reprisals and Tehran’s suspected use of proxies to stage limited strikes will now be replaced by more damaging actions that can be directly attributed to the Iranian government.

You may not know what solarpunk is, but the ideas it is based on may be the best chance our society has for surviving climate change. Solarpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction; it isn’t punk rock. However, like the best punk rock, it is based on challenging society’s status quos and speaking truth to power.
Solarpunk challenges our conceptions of what the future can be. Solarpunk, and the closely related genre of hopepunk, challenge the popular view that the future will be horrible. Take a second to process that…the future might not be horrible. It’s kind of a remarkable idea! Solarpunk combines the concept of a hopeful future with the fact that climate change is happening.
DO THE CORPORATE DEMS PREFER TRUMP TO BERNIE?
As Bernie Sanders shows escalating strength at the grassroots, we explore 2020s electoral realities with two GREAT activists: JOEL SEGAL and BOB FITRAKIS.
Both long-time associates of the legendary Detroit Congressman John Conyers, Bob and Joel have unique in/outsider grasps on how the electoral system and the Democratic Party really work.
Bob is now an amicus attorney in the pivotal cases surrounding Ohio’s nuke bailout repeal, in which the atomic industry is conspiring to destroy the referendum process by physical force.
Like Bob, Joel is integral to the nationwide grassroots movement to protect the integrity of the 2020 election and prevent it from again being stolen.
As we ramble through the realities of the corrupt corporate Democrats and our compromised electoral process, we grapple with the fact that this campaign will determine the fate of human life on this Earth.
Don’t miss the outcome!!!

When presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders addressed a Dec. 21 California campaign rally he railed against “more extreme weather - Venice, Italy is underwater.” But with an overflowing crowd of more than 14,000 people assembled on the sand and boardwalk, the democratic socialist’s supporters flooded that other Venice - L.A.’s bohemian beach known for weightlifters, tattoo parlors, skimpily-clad sidewalk skaters and street performers.
Beneath a sunny sky the masses listened for about three hours to the candidate and his advocates, including local musicians, activists, politicians, Prof. Cornel West, actor Tim Robbins and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the “Squad’s” socialist superstar. The Grammy Award-winning Mexico City-born brother/sister duo Jesse & Joy performed original songs and covered John Lennon’s “Imagine” in Spanish and English. They urged people to “vote hate out of office, together we’re stronger.” Joy insisted: “Remember to register.”
What is Gaza to us but an Israeli missile, a rudimentary rocket, a demolished home, an injured child being whisked away by his peers under a hail of bullets? On a daily basis, Gaza is conveyed to us as a bloody image or a dramatic video, none of which can truly capture the everyday reality of the Strip - its formidable steadfastness, the everyday acts of resistance, and the type of suffering that can never be really understood through a customary glance at a social media post.
