US Returns to the Philippines to Fend Off China
Thirty years ago, as the post–Cold War era dawned, the United States formally transferred control of the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay to the Philippine government. The Washington Post reported on Nov. 24, 1992, that the transfer ended 94 years of U.S. military presence in the archipelago. The previous year saw American air forces depart from Clark Air Base. The United States seized the Philippines from Spain after its victory in the Spanish–American War in 1898. But with a new Cold War brewing in the western Pacific, Kyodo News reports that the U.S. Navy will likely return to Subic Bay as part of a U.S.–Philippines Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

A ‘Cover-Up of Evidence of Mass Murder’: The CDC Appears to Be Removing VAERS Records
Something strange is going on with the VAERS system. Reports that were present three months ago are now inexplicably missing. And fewer than 4% of adverse events recorded in V-Safe have made their way to VAERS. This is the CDC’s database; Dr. Rochelle Walensky is in charge of it. And the agency’s failure to properly manage VAERS is suppressing the already-alarming safety signal of the Covid-19 shots.
Canadian Government Tells Kids They’ll Be On Santa’s ‘Naughty List’ Without COVID Vaccine, Masks
It’s the end of 2022 and the world is still witnessing new heights of Covid absurdity and fear-mongering authoritarianism coming from government figures.
Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam has issued a new public health announcement for the Christmas holidays, which comes in the form of a 2-minute interview with “Mrs. Clause” from the “North Pole”. In it, children are warned that they could be on Santa’s “naughty list” if they don’t get the Covid-19 vaccine and mask up. Adults too are told that they won’t make the “nice list” if they don’t have their boosters.

Safety data for novel COVID-19 injections still years away, FDA docs show
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) documents show that stipulations for the licensing for the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is set to be completed in 2023 and beyond.
In May of 2021 Amit Patel, director of regulatory lead for Pfizer in the U.S., submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for licensure of Pfizer’s novel injection.
The FDA responded with stipulations around the licensure in August that detailed clinical trial data submission dates.
How Police Around the World Are Using Covid Surveillance Tools to Track and Target Citizens
Majd Ramlawi was serving coffee in Jerusalem’s Old City when a chilling text message appeared on his phone.
“You have been spotted as having participated in acts of violence in the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” it read in Arabic. “We will hold you accountable.”
Ramlawi, then 19, was among hundreds of people who civil rights attorneys estimate got the text last year, at the height of one of the most turbulent recent periods in the Holy Land. Many, including Ramlawi, say they only lived or worked in the neighborhood, and had nothing to do with the unrest. What he didn’t know was that the feared internal security agency, the Shin Bet, was using mass surveillance technology mobilized for coronavirus contact tracing, against Israeli residents and citizens for purposes entirely unrelated to COVID-19.
The AP Confirms the U.S. Government Used ‘Covid-19’ Tech to Expand Police State Surveillance During Pandemic
During the Covid-19 pandemic, critics of government proposals to implement privacy invasive technology in a supposed effort to ‘fight the pandemic’ were marginalized as “conspiracy theorists.”
But in the latest exposure of public health officials’ profound gaslighting during the Covid pandemic, it is now openly bemoaned by biomedical coercion proponents that Covid technology was commandeered by law enforcement to expand police state surveillance. The Associated Press has made the critical admission in a brazen article that was published on Friday.
UK Doctors Call For Government Investigation Of mRNA Covid Vaccines
Doctors for Patients UK (DFPUK) was launched in September 2022 and has become a fast-growing group of UK doctors who are dedicated to practising ethical, evidence-based, patient-centred medicine. Our group was borne out of increasing concerns that core principles of medical ethics are being disregarded, such as the oath to “First do no harm”, respect for individual bodily autonomy and the need to obtain full and informed consent for all medical interventions.
Dr. Byram Bridle's lawsuit is now public. Notice of arrest issued for Professor Glen Pyle.
It's a great read on how scientific discourse should be done in 2021 and beyond. A model for all other institutions to follow about how to properly respond to those whose views you disagree with.
Biden Forced to Retreat as Military Troops Who Opposed Covid Vaccine Mandate Get Major Victory
The Pentagon is halting all actions related to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate after President Joe Biden signed the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes an end to the mandate.
“The NDAA requires that, not later than 30 days after enactment, the Secretary of Defense rescind the mandate that members of the Armed Forces be vaccinated against COVID-19. As a result, the Department will rescind the mandate and is currently in the process of developing further guidance. During this process, we are pausing all actions related to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate,” a Pentagon spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.
New Zealand Government report admits you may fall ill or die after Pfizer mRNA injection, but advises people not to worry
A new report from New Zealand’s drug safety authority, Medsafe, states that “by chance” some people will get a new illness or die shortly after receiving a Pfizer Covid injection. But according to Medsafe, it’s nothing to worry about.
Contrary to what Medsafe says, there are many reasons to be concerned. Currently, all-cause deaths are 15% above what is usually seen in New Zealand. And a time series analysis of New Zealand (“NZ”) data supports a relationship between mRNA vaccination and death.
Camel flu is killing a third of the people it infects – you know that’s true because corporate media said so!
The Daily Mail published an article last week entitled ‘Experts warn of World Cup ‘camel flu’ – which kills up to a THIRD of everyone it strikes – as England fans make their way home from Qatar’. Like most media stories, it is 99% rubbish mixed in with just a soupcon of how you goin’.
But the sad thing is, there will be some people out there who will be sucked in and end up believing these obvious lies. Some may even now be clamouring for a vaccine for camel flu. After all, monkeypox made some of them go bananas (couldn’t help it, I really couldn’t) so camel flu could have them spitting chips!
Canadian Patriot Podcast: Debunking COVID Lies with Dr. Jessica Rose
In this Canadian Patriot Podcast, Matt Ehret speaks with Dr Jessica Rose about the multi-level fraud that is the “Covid Pandemic” with deep dives into her work, her mode of thinking and her penetrating research proving the ugly realities within VAERS and other aspects of the pandemic and the “solutions” which the world was tricked into drinking in response.
Restoring health following chronic illness
Dr Sarah Myhill is a Naturopathic Physician who specialises in helping people recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and M.E. (myalgia encephalitis). She is seeing many such cases now, since both Covid and the novel Covid injections trigger a Long Covid/ME type of disease.
Dr Myhill sees her role as a doctor to be helping people to heal themselves. This makes sense, and yet her approach has repeatedly prompted investigations from the General Medical Council.

Understanding ESG Objectives And Goals In The Era Of Greenwashing
Greenwashing – the practice of exaggerating your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials, both to attract more investment dollars and to hide the reality of poor ESG performance – has become increasingly problematic in the investment world. Eugenia Unanyants-Jackson, the Global Head of ESG at PGIM, the investment management business of Prudential Financial* with over $1.2 trillion in assets under management, recently published a white paperon ESG and greenwashing. Last month, I sat down with her to discuss greenwashing, ESG strategy and goals, subjectivity, trade-offs, shielding poor economic performance, and ESG-related commitments.

Massive Omnibus Spending Bill – Deadline Looming
Congress has produced a massive omnibus spending bill totaling 1.7 trillion dollars. While the Democrats are trying to push the bill through the Senate, there is serious pushback brewing from Republicans. Politicians and citizens of both parties should be protesting the nature of this process. Congress had the last 10 months to craft a budget that would benefit the American people, and include elements that are important to everyone. Instead, they dropped a bill in the form of piles of paper that would be simply impossible to absorb in time for the vote before the current budget runs out.
Inflation, Recession, & Declining US Hegemony
In the distant future, we might look back on 2022 and 2023 as pivotal years. So far, we have seen the conflict between America and the two Asian hegemons emerge into the open, leading to a self-inflicted energy crisis on the western alliance. The forty-year trend of declining interest rates has ended, replaced by a new rising trend the full consequences and duration of which are as yet unknown.

EU Imposes The World's Largest Carbon Tax Scheme, Inflationary Madness Sets In
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
To prevent "carbon leakage" the European Parliament Reached a Deal on a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, CBAM for short.
An EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will be set up to equalise the price of carbon paid for EU products operating under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the one for imported goods. This will be achieved by obliging companies that import into the EU to purchase so-called CBAM certificates to pay the difference between the carbon price paid in the country of production and the price of carbon allowances in the EU ETS.
The EU’s Gas ‘Price Cap’ Threatens to Worsen the Energy Crisis
According to a recent expert analysis on the European energy market and the current economic choke hold being engineered by Washington and London, it’s now becoming clear that any EU ceiling on gas prices may trigger an even deeper energy crisis, and expose the EU bloc to further supply shortages – and higher prices for consumers already falling into fuel poverty.
NATO On Edge As Russia Ramps Up Military Activity In The Arctic
The Russian government has taken notice of environmental changes that have steadily opened the Arctic coastlines of countries in the northern hemisphere to increased maritime traffic, with the Kremlin recently announcing its intention to expand maritime cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in 2023. Speaking at the “Transport of Russia” forum last month, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced that, since the beginning of this year, 25 million tons of cargo traversed the NSR. Mishustin called the development of the NSR one of the Russian government’s “key priorities,” projecting a need to achieve a transportation target of 80 million tons of cargo by 2024 (Vedomosti, November 16).
Zelensky Appeals For Tanks & Warplanes, Invokes FDR's "Absolute Victory", Before Enthusiastic Congress
Summary: Zelensky spoke for a little over 30 minutes and in English, at times invoking key US historical moments from the Battle of Saratoga to the Battle of the Bulge (and comparing the courage of Ukrainian soldiers), after he was greeted as a 'hero' in a minutes-long standing ovation. He asserted that Ukraine is winning "against all odds". He was throughout frequently interrupted by standing ovations from a partially filled Congress, which was missing a lot of Republicans, in part given a number of lawmakers had already traveled home for the holidays ahead of the unexpected in-person visit, and facing incoming severe weather.
Do regular Russians support Putin's war? Moscow residents weigh in
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is being referred to as the most important geopolitical conflict of our time. The West has framed the conflict as an imperial, aggressive conquest of an entirely sovereign nation, by Russia.
Russian proponents explain that the regions in question, Lugansk, Donetsk and the larger Donbass region are ethnically Russian populations under brutal attack by the Ukrainian government. They argue these territories are historically Russian.

Musk’s Neuralink Promising For Disabled, 'Ethical Concern' For Masses, Experts Say
The Neuralink implant that aims to allow a person to control a computer with thoughts has good potential to achieve its initial goal of helping paralyzed people communicate. It may, at least to some extent, help restore vision for the blind. It may, to a significant degree, restore limb control for those with spine injuries, according to several neuroscientists.
Gates, Bezos Invest In Australian-Designed Brain Implant
Billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are betting on the New York-based Synchron as the answer to Elon Musk’s Neuralink.

The Synchron Switch is a “brain-computer interface” that is implanted in the blood vessels at the surface of the motor cortex of the brain via the jugular vein.
Crisis: Housing, Covid–19 and the Emergence of a New Fascism
Dr Simon Elmer trained as an art historian, specialising in the period between the wars when fascism was on the rise in Europe and America. Having left academia, and the demands for self-censorship that beset it, Simon is now an independent researcher with the firm he co-founded, Architects for Social Housing. His research skills, intellectual rigour and intensity have since been employed primarily in fighting the United Kingdom's destructive and exploitative social housing policies.
Simon outlines why he considers fascism, so often levelled as an unthinking term of general abuse, to be the correct and most accurate way to describe the developments over the last three years, as lockdowns, mandates and coercive policies have spread—dare we say, virus-like—through Canada, the USA, Europe, Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, the allegedly freedom-loving Western nations. David and Simon explore the nature and identifying features of fascism, and reflect on its symbols and beliefs.

Cyberspace Social Media Information War
Where does the security state end and social media begin? The revolving door between the US security state and social media corporations have become larger every year. Former employees from the CIA, FBI, DoD, NATO and other agencies are being hired more and more by large social media corporations like Facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter and others. What are the implications of such a strong connection? Why are social media giants hiring large numbers of security state agents?
Over 90 percent of all web searches are done through Google. Nearly 30 percent of the world get their news of the world through Facebook. Social media platforms have become such an influence on public opinion, it should be a place to obtain information about the world through an impartial process. Yet, with so many former security state employees, as well as understanding what these employees have done in their positions in government agencies (drone strikes, overthrowing democratic governments, etc), we should be alarmed by the positions they now hold within the corporate social media platforms.
Cyberspace is becoming more a domain of warfare between powerful nations, it is also becoming a significant domain of class struggle. The ruling classes disseminate their psychological operations onto the working classes of the world and they are doing it through social media. This video examines the roles of agencies like the CIA and the implications of former agents and their impacts on social media.

They don’t want us to believe that it’s happening, but it is.

Jesus would be branded a “domestic terrorist” today
The Christmas story of a baby born in a manger is a familiar one.
The Roman Empire, a police state in its own right, had ordered that a census be conducted. Joseph and his pregnant wife Mary traveled to the little town of Bethlehem so that they could be counted. There being no room for the couple at any of the inns, they stayed in a stable (a barn), where Mary gave birth to a baby boy, Jesus. Warned that the government planned to kill the baby, Jesus’ family fled with him to Egypt until it was safe to return to their native land.
Yet what if Jesus had been born 2,000 years later.
We Are Still Locked Down
Consider just how fortunate we are to have the Twitter Files. Every few days, we are seeing dumps of documents from the operations of Twitter before Elon Musk took over. This weekend’s release was especially shocking. It revealed a close and symbiotic relationship between the company’s management and the FBI, which employs 80 people to police social networks and flag posts. They aren’t looking for crime. They were focused on wrongthink on matters of politics.
What are we doing to our children? — Part I
The last two and a half years have seen unprecedented harms inflicted on our young people by government policies. Since it is clear from the evidence that the policies have been harmful, it would be usual in public and business life that those responsible for evident harms would be held accountable for them; but this has clearly not happened.
My first article for UK Column asked why we are vaccinating children against Covid. In this four-part series, I will attempt to present the huge harms suffered by our children, identify the policy failures, and ask the question: is anyone accountable?

Why Are (Some) American Libertarians Falling for Elon Musk?
In 2016, I released a video describing my effort to “move away” from focusing only on libertarian arguments and philosophical debates. This was not because I stopped being a libertarian but because I realized how much of an echo chamber/circle jerk the movement is and continues to be.
Instead, by touring, running for Mayor, and doing journalism I have been able to spread the ideas of libertarianism without ever mentioning the word. My hundreds of talks have helped me learn to communicate the message without using trigger words which allows the audience to hear me and the actual concepts I am sharing.
