Blogging Hounds Wow! Holland has said enough is enough! They become the first European country to withdraw sanctions against Russia, without permission from EU. This is the first example we see of a European country acting in the best interest of their own country. Now who is next? The Dutch government has issued 91 waivers […]
Pfizer documents and official Government reports prove that Covid-19 vaccination is destroying immune systems, greatly increasing the risk of death, killing hundreds of thousands on a weekly basis, and causing infertility, stillbirths, cancer and a whole host of further devastations and disease.
In 2020, your freedoms and liberties were taken away because of an alleged pandemic. You were then told that the answer to regaining those freedoms and liberties was to take an experimental injection that had not yet finished clinical trials.
Your Government lied to you about the severity of the alleged Covid-19 virus and put policies in place that ensured tens of thousands of the elderly and vulnerable suffered an untimely and unnecessary death.
They then used propaganda and lies to convince you they had died of Covid-19 so that they could justify the Draconian measures they had enforced to turn your country into a totalitarian state.
The lies and propaganda then continued so that they could coerce millions to take an experimental gene therapy that they insisted was safe and effective with absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back it up.
They even went as far as to insist it was completely safe for pregnant women to get vaccinated when not a single study had been carried out to confirm this was the case.
Now, almost two years later, we have a wealth of evidence that not only proves your Government was lying to you with the help of the mainstream media, but also proves they have caused untold devastation with the decisions they made.
Because confidential Pfizer documents and official Government reports prove that Covid-19 vaccination is destroying immune systems, greatly increasing the risk of death, killing hundreds of thousands on a weekly basis, and causing infertility, stillbirths, cancer and a whole host of further devastation and disease.
The modern-day miracle mRNA vaccines which were created in record time are firmly under the global microscope as experts analyse data which challenges the efficacy and safety profile of the vaccines, especially regarding reproduction and whether it is a risk or reward to pregnant and fertile women.
With the looming electoral failure of the Democrats all but certain, the U.S. is slated to inch ever closer to a fascist breakdown of democracy on November 8th. And it is the failed policies of the national Democratic Party that have brought us there.
The PRO Act? Livable wages? Universal healthcare? Build Back Better? Green New Deal? Voting rights?
These were the issues and vision much of the Democratic Party ran on during the 2020 election. It was this vision which propelled them to victory and had them win the Presidency, Senate, and House two years ago.
But once in power, much like under Barack Obama (or Bill Clinton before him), they unsurprisingly failed to deliver on the pro-working class platform they ran on.
And thus the massive wealth inequality suffered under Trump, remains unchanged under Biden. Only now, while the billionaires and corporations are making record profit, workers are struggling with record inflation.
And the Democrats, as the national party in power, has done nothing of meaning to mitigate this or address the real economic concerns of the working class; instead they have offered little more than virtue signaling around identity politics and demonstrated a prioritization of sending billions of dollars in weapons to the Ukraine (even at the risk of a nuclear conflict with Russia).
This is not progress. This is not change.
Of course their apologists will tell you it was the Republicans in the Senate who repeatedly blocked movement in the right direction; for although the GOP are (for now) the minority, one needs 60 votes in that chamber to move legislation beyond the filibuster.
What these neo-liberal apologists will not tell you is that it only takes a simple majority to abolish the filibuster.
And here it was Democrats like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema who were all too happy to play the role of party spoiler in their refusal to empower the majority in a common effort to pass progressive legislation like the PRO Act.
Fools, liars, and hucksters will profess that the answer to the problem that is Manchin and Sinema is to double down, vote blue, and give the Democrats larger majorities to overcome such internal regression.
But here is the thing: The Democrats are funded by the same corporations and super rich that also hedge their bets with money to the Republicans.
As things stand, no matter how many Democrats are in Washington, there will always be just enough Manchins to serve as villain and to act as a foil to any real change.
In this way, Democrats can campaign on progressive values, but their wealthy backers can rest easy knowing that change will never come (at least not through them).
At the end of the day (after the votes are counted), the Democrats, as a national political party, could give two shits about Unions, working people, or the poor.
Their Senators and Congress-people are, more often than not, millionaires themselves.
They are not of us. They answer only two their true masters – the rich and powerful who reward their core loyalty to the corporate status quo with handsome campaign contributions.
So is it surprising that in a nation where two capitalist parties have a near monopoly on the political system, and where an all-pervasive corporate media constantly reinforces a false reality wherein only a two-party duality is possible, that voters would go to the polls to reject the broken promises realized over the last two years?
Is it so unfathomable that Americans, who are led to believe that another world beyond Democrat and Republican is not thinkable, would reject the party in power with the vague hope that something can change, and that that change may benefit them?
Given the context of current American politics, this rejection at the polls is understandable (or at least predictable).
But truth is that the other side of the coin which is the national Republican Party is very different from the party of Eisenhower.
No my friends, this is the Republican Party of Donald Trump and it is a political force increasingly hostile even to representational democracy, one that eagerly embraces racist divisions, and schemes of radical claw backs of social programs and workers’ rights.
Further, the MAGA wing of the Republican Party (which is now in control of its party apparatus) is one that despises Labor Union’s and is ready to do whatever it takes to break us (and democracy as such).
Their new found radicalism is opportunistic insofar as it seeks to demarcate themselves as a departure from the historic boundaries of the acceptable status quo.
And here they get to position themselves as a poll to the right of that which has failed working people, and place blame on the other for the social and economic pain suffered by the people.
And with that, within the vacuum caused by a center-right leaning Democratic Party and no perceived working class left alternative, the Republicans are able to become both the outsider (MAGA) and insider (institutional GOP) agent of change in the minds of voters who correctly feel left behind (and who are fooled into thinking the far right is their only chance of escape).
The Republicans, since the rise of Trumpism, have become a dangerous party even by the yard stick of generations of broken American promises.
Across the country they are running candidates who embrace the Big Lie, support the neo-fascist January 6th insurrection, and some are even unafraid to lend their overt support to White Nationalism.
Aspects of their base does not hesitate in talking about a looming armed conflict against those that would oppose them.
Given the power, the current Republican Party would control women’s bodies, pass national right-to-work legislation, and nullify elections when their preferred reactionary candidate does not win.
Not only should they never receive the support of Union workers, but they must be named for what they are; far-right domestic enemies that threaten the very notion of The Republic in which we struggle.
But as long as Organized Labor fails to also call out the failures of the Democratic Party, as long as we continue to bury our head in the sand and pretend that the Democrats are our friends, we will collectively fail to build a movement capable not only of defending the vestiges of the democracy we have, but also of one strong enough to truly advance the interests of working people.
Working families in this country are right to see that the current system, and the party in power, has failed them.
As a Labor Movement we cannot and must not continue to play the role of snake-oil-salesman bent on selling a hostile & hypocritical Democratic Party to working people that know better.
Each time we tell them to vote blue, and each time the Democrats fail to deliver, Labor’s proclamations will fall on more deaf ears.
As long as the only alternative to the Democrats is perceived to be an increasingly fascist Republican Party, the far right will continue to gain more and more support among a population desperate for change (any change).
Ever more we find ourselves at an existential crossroads which necessitates that Labor turn left, away from passive or active support for a neo-liberalism that at best is less destructive than the totalitarianism imagined by a rising rightwing.
Here we must give workers a true alternative; one that embraces class solidarity, economic justice, and envisions a more direct democracy.
And we do this, in part, by calling a spade a spade; by rejecting the failure that is the Democratic Party, calling out their generations of working class betrayals, while also being unafraid to engage in combat against the neo-fascist Republicans who would deliver us to a new dark age given the opportunity.
On the national level Organized Labor, should it find the resolve, has the resources at its disposal to constitute itself as this working class left poll, independent of the Democratic Party, within the political spectrum that is America.
If we stop funneling tens-of-millions of our dollars into elections supporting Democrats that don’t support us (they don’t need our money to lose), and redirect resources away from lobbying efforts that bear no fruit, we have the means to deploy hundreds if not thousands of organizers to every state in the union to assist workers in their efforts to organize new shops and to internally organize those that we already have towards social and political ends.
And if we were to be bold in our collective articulation of a new social vision, one that places the needs of workers above that of the entrenched ruling classes, we can become that alternative that workers turn towards as the status quo fails them.
And here, as we build a new kind of power, history shows us that the politicians will take heed and be more apt to facilitate change in relation to the growing fear they take from us and the alternatives that can be projected as the price to be paid for a static state.
But this Tuesday, on Election Day, do not be shocked when the far right again takes power.
This is the fate the Democratic Party chose when it once again ignored the plight of working people.
This is also a failure enabled by out-of-touch national Labor leaders who, for too long, have plastered over the chasm of divergent interests between the capitalist class that is served by the Democratic Party, and that of the working classes (instead of building true leftwing alternatives).
But while a rightwing disaster awaits us on Tuesday, take heart in knowing that this doom does not need to be a harbinger of our common future.
We are the many, and in the end, we will win.

Barge loader Raul Rivas walks to the loading station at Poinsett Rice Grain on Oct. 20, 2022.
Things are getting worse, not better, for harvest transport across the Mississippi River, the nation’s second-largest waterway.
Regional drought conditions have made it impossible, in some spots, for barges carrying the fall harvest of soybeans, corn, and other commodities from farm to market, to pass.
In some areas, barges carrying large loads of crops are stuck in the mud, which is fast-becoming dry dirt as water levels continue to drop. (Related: Some sections of the Mississippi River are now completely closed because water levels are too low to allow for safe passage.)
Right now, the Mississippi River is at its lowest level in decades. And while workarounds to the problem are in progress, many are wondering if it will all be enough to make it through the harvest season.
“There’s no relief in sight as far as rainfall,” said Jeff Worsham, a port manager out of Osceola, Ark., where barges are backing up because others have run aground and are now in their way.
When asked when he believes much-needed rain will come, Worsham told the media, simply:
“Who knows?”
Barges loading commodities at reduced capacity to avoid getting stuck in Mississippi River
In Osceola, many barges are now “dead in the water,” reports indicate. Those following behind are having to load up much less crop to avoid suffering a similar fate.
Jeff Worsham, port manager of Poinsett Rice & Grain in Osceola, Ark., said the Mississippi River is at the lowest it’s been in decades due to an ongoing drought wreaking havoc with commercial barge lines.
Barges carrying soybeans, for instance, are only loaded to about 65 percent at most. This helps keep them from running aground in shallow waters where under normal circumstances they would be able to pass without a hitch.
Climate activists arrested after blocking private jets in Amsterdam airport
Sitdown protests are part of a day of demonstrations in and around Schiphol airportDutch police arrest over 200 climate activists who blocked Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport – video
Dutch border police arrested hundreds of climate activists who stormed Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport and sat in front of the wheels of aircraft to prevent them from leaving.
More than 100 protesters, wearing white suits, entered an area where private jets are kept on Saturday as part of a day of demonstrations in and around the airport organised by environmental groups.
We depend on Russia more than Russia depends on us.
Sarah Wagenknecht, the new star of German politics, puts German national interests first and is not afraid to call things by their proper names. In a new interview she states openly that the government has not yet found an alternative to Russian energy resources.According to Sarah, boycotting energy resources from Russia because of the military confrontation with Ukraine does not fit in with the logic of buying energy resources from Azerbaijan, which has shown aggression against Armenia, or the UAE, which has been bombing Yemen for years, and the US, despite the “impeccable democracy” often violates the international law.
A politician who says in plain language that there is no alternative to Germany’s partnership with Russia.
The voice of reason, which sounds amidst the populist clamor of old politicians.
“Until Proven Otherwise.” -Two World Renowned Cardiologists reach the same conclusion on what’s causing SADS. This new video VSRF is likely the most significant and important video I’ve ever made. Please share, it could save someone’s life.
Top cardiologists attribute ‘sudden death on a massive scale in young people’ to COVID jabs ‘until proven otherwise’
Personally, I find it a bit rich that the mainstream is so reluctant to see any connection between people dropping like flies and jabs stabbing into shoulders.– A video has been released by the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation containing a slew of clips of recorded sudden deaths in young people accompanied by commentary of top cardiologists.
Both Dr. Peter McCullough and British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra are featured in the video saying that “until proven otherwise” it must be assumed that the experimental COVID jabs are to blame for the massive uptick in sudden excess deaths in the young.
From the British Heart Foundation report
‘Covid infection is no longer a driving force behind the excess cv death rate’ https://t.co/ms5rUpGRf0
Malhotra is recorded saying it is his “duty” to “inform” medical professionals and the public that the jabs are dangerous. McCullough echoed similar statements, saying, “We’re seeing sudden death now on a massive scale and it’s the COVID-19 vaccine until proven otherwise.”
The video is startling and a bit grim as the weight of a myriad of sudden deaths in young health people hits the viewer where it hurts.
But the question must be asked: Is it legitimate to assume the wave of sudden deaths in the young has something to do with the jab?
I think so. Here is why
Without even considering data or research or graphs or statistics, we can simply use our reason.
Extraordinary prediction. He’s definitely correct about a slave class. Slaves to corporate tyranny. Slaves to the psychopath https://t.co/Z8KHu7oPjH
It is undeniable that there is an uptick in deaths in the young in ways that are unprecedented, and it is undeniable that the vast majority of people in Western nations have been jabbed — in some countries more than others but a majority nonetheless.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember seeing constant news clips and social media posts of young people dying before 2021. It should be noted that I was a high school teacher, and when a young person died, especially while playing sports, we knew about it. And I remember it rarely happening.
So we have to consider what is different about this moment in history compared with the time before when it was not commonplace to turn on the TV and see that another young athlete had dropped dead on the field.
There is one major difference. Can you guess what it is? COVID jabs, of course.

Now, some may retort that it is actually COVID that has caused the uptick. However, COVID was allegedly rampant long before there were jabs, and especially long before the jabs were widespread among the young. However, the youth did not start dying all of the sudden until governments mandated that every Tom, Dick, and Harry be double jabbed in order to get on a plane.
Gluten is bad, keto is good, jabs are safe
Personally, I find it a bit rich that the mainstream is so reluctant to see any connection between people dropping like flies and jabs stabbing into shoulders.
This is especially interesting when we consider that we live in an age when respectable people, including doctors, nurses, politicians, athletes, etc., can express to the public why changing their diet changed their internal health, even when there is loads of evidence that could be shown to be contradictory.
Please don’t confuse my meaning. I am not throwing rocks at people who avoid gluten or follow a keto diet or any other modern trend. I am just saying that in a world where we respect everyone in their health choices while at the same time recognizing that some things work for some and not for others, it is strangely narrow-minded to avoid any consent to the idea that jabs can kill.
You can make a living selling essential oils and claim they cure illnesses (which I imagine they can in some cases), but if you say “hey, that mRNA thing that is proven to cause heart damage might be making hearts stop,” they take your medical license away and tar and feather you in public.
Of course, the jabs should be considered a danger to health and a likely cause of death, and to deny that fact is to engage in ridiculous mental gymnastics in order to hang on to a narrative like a talisman or lucky rabbit foot.
