(AA)): Attention all vaccine science-illiterate Journalists, GOV Bureaucrats, and potential vaccine recipients: You have been seriously dis-informed by Big Pharma, the CDC, the AAP and Big Medicine about "Vaccine-hesitant Patients"

Attention all vaccine-illiterate journalists, healthcare givers (and potential vaccine-recipients): you should not be criticizing what you don’t understand, especially when you are relying on the massive amount of dis-information coming from professional dis-information artists in the vaccine and medical industries who have ulterior motives, such as scaring everybody into demanding fully vaccinating their children because of an “outbreak” of measles among 0.0001 % of the American population, some of whom were already vaccinated!! (Note that tere have been 130 children who died from the measles vaccinations but essentially zero that died from measles in the past decade! The prevention is worse than the disese. Please do your investigative journalism like they taught you in journalism: look al all sides of issues and don’t be bamboozled by those pseudoscientists who have ulterior motives. Also –school yourself in real science. Gary G. Kohls, MD, Duluth, MN

 

Will the U.S. Senate Let the People of Yemen Live?

n 1973 the War Powers Resolution weakened the U.S. Constitution’s placement of the power to start and end wars with the first branch of the U.S. government, the Congress. The new law carved out exceptions to allow presidents to start wars. However, it also created procedures by which a single member or group of members of Congress could force a vote in Congress on whether to end a war. Despite weakening the written law, the War Powers Resolution may finally be about to prove itself to have strengthened the ability of proponents of peace to put an end to mass slaughter.

Since 1973 we’ve seen numerous wars waged in blatant violation of both the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, not to mention the UN Charter and the Kellogg Briand Pact. But we’ve also seen Congress members like my friend Dennis Kucinich force votes on whether to end wars. These votes have usually failed. And the Congress that ended this past December illegally refused (in the House) to even hold such votes. But debates have been created, people have been informed, and the notion that a law still exists that merits respect has been kept alive.

Bernie 2020 Campaign Has Corporate Democrats Running Scared

With a launch of the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign on the near horizon, efforts to block his trajectory to the Democratic presidential nomination are intensifying. The lines of attack are already aggressive -- and often contradictory.

One media meme says that Bernie has made so much headway in moving the Democratic Party leftward that he’s no longer anything special. We’re supposed to believe that candidates who’ve adjusted their sails to the latest political wind are just as good as the candidate who generated the wind in the first place.

Bloomberg News supplied the typical spin in a Feb. 8 article headlined “Sanders Risks Getting Crowded Out in 2020 Field of Progressives.” The piece laid out the narrative: “Sanders may find himself a victim of his own success in driving the party to the left with his 2016 run. The field of Democratic presidential hopefuls includes at least a half-dozen candidates who’ve adopted in whole or in part the platform that helped Sanders build a loyal following . . .”

A Nonviolent Strategy to Defeat a US Military Invasion of Venezuela

 

 

Recently I wrote an article explaining how you could defeat, using nonviolent strategy, the US coup attempt that is taking place in your country. See ‘A Nonviolent Strategy to Defeat the US Coup Attempt in Venezuela’.

 

I would like to complement that article by now briefly explaining how you can also defeat a military invasion by the United States and any collaborating invaders by using a strategy of nonviolent defense as well.

 

A Princess in Thailand Cannot Become Prime Minister

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thailand's junta-appointed Election Commission
disqualified a princess from running for prime minister in next
month's polls, after her surprise candidacy displeased her powerful
brother King Maha Vajiralongkorn and dangerously divided this country.

"All members of the royal family must abide by the king's principle of
staying above politics, maintaining political impartiality, and they
cannot take up political office," the commission said February 11.

The coup-installed military government meanwhile was investigating an
allegedly forged official document which appeared on social media
claiming Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha fired Army Chief Gen. Apirat
Kongsompong and other armed forces officers.

"Rumors. We are investigating. Fake news," Mr. Prayuth told reporters
February 11, referring to the alleged document which sparked Twitter
to trend #coup February 10 night.

Tanks rumbling through Lopburi city's streets tried to calm the public
by pasting pieces of paper saying "For Training" on the tanks' metal
sides.

"Making Embryos in a Dish" Protects Babies From DNA Mutations

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Gene editing tools such as CRISPR are helping
researchers who hope to cure cancer and other problems involving DNA,
but "making embryos in a dish" is a much easier way to check for
mutations before implanting an embryo in a mother's uterus, according
to an American Cancer Society professor.

"Gene editing, or CRISPR, is enormously helpful for us at the research
level," said Mary-Clare King, American Cancer Society professor of
Genome Sciences and Medicine at Seattle's University of Washington.

"We work with CRISPR using cells in plates. We alter the cells and we
see what works, and what doesn't, by way of treating the cells that
we've altered. I think of it as a research tool," Ms. King said in an
interview on February 1.

"I don't think of it as a tool that will ever be deployed for actually
correcting these kinds of cells, because there are a lot of easier
ways to do it."

Ms. King was visiting Bangkok to receive Thailand's annual Prince
Mahidol Award along with three other recipients for their work in
medicine and public health.

Career War Criminal Elliott Abrams to Lead US on Venezuela

Reader Supported News

04 February 19


In 1985, an activist for the relatives of the disappeared [persons in Guatemala], named Rosario Godoy, was abducted by the army. She was raped. Her mutilated body was found alongside that of her baby. The baby’s fingernails had been torn out. The Guatemalan army, when asked about this atrocity, said, “Oh, they died in a traffic accident.”

When [US human rights official] Elliott Abrams was asked about this accident, he affirmed also that they died in a traffic accident. This activist raped and mutilated, the baby with his fingernails pulled out, Abrams says it’s a traffic accident.

Japan's Sex Slave "Comfort Women" During World War II

BANGKOK, Thailand -- The death in South Korea of a World War II sex
slave "comfort woman" has reopened demands for Tokyo to pay more
reparations for allowing its troops to rape thousands of imprisoned
Asian women.

The death from cancer of 92-year-old Kim Bok-dong on January 28
silenced a woman who, for almost 30 years, led weekly protests for
more compensation in front of the Japanese Embassy's wartime location
in Seoul.

The Japan's military enslaved Ms. Kim and thousands of other Asian
females as "comfort women" who were forced to provide sexual services
to Japanese troops during the war.

Up to 200,000 females, most of them teenagers, were raped while
imprisoned by Japan's military in China, Korea, Taiwan, the
Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, according to
London-based Amnesty International.

In 2005, the human rights organization brought Lee Yong Soo and
another so-called "comfort woman" here to Bangkok during the
publication of Amnesty International's report titled, "Justice for
Survivors of Japan's Military Sexual Slavery System".
