“Perpetual and unconquerable protest against the dictates of Authority”
Voltairine de Cleyre (1866-1912) was a free-thinking poet and feminist who sought to express and develop what has been described as “an innate and organic American anarchism”. (1)
She defined anarchism as “freedom to the soul as to the body, – in every aspiration, every growth” (2) and argued that human beings had a “natural tendency to break all the bonds which seek to control thought”. (3)
This tendency manifested itself as the spirit of freedom, a collective energy which surged forth in individuals.
De Cleyre wrote in her essay ‘In Defense of Emma Goldman and the Right of Expropriation’:
“The spirit which animates Emma Goldman is the only one which will emancipate the slave from his tyranny – the spirit which is willing to dare and suffer”. (4)
She therefore had little time for the materialist dogma propagated by much of the left, which regarded any talk of spirit as absurd and “mystical”.
She declared in ‘The Dominant Idea’: “It is thus that the so-called Materialist Conception of History, the modern Socialists, and a positive majority of Anarchists would have us look upon the world of ideas – shifting, unreal reflections, having naught to do in the determination of man’s life, but so many mirror appearances of certain material relations, wholly powerless to act upon the course of material things.
“I think this unqualified determinism of the material is a great and lamentable error in our modern progressive movement”. (5)
This insight even led de Cleyre to defend the philosophical outlook of the Middle Ages. She asked: “Must we, because the Middle Age was dark and blind and brutal, throw away the one good thing it wrought into the fibre of Man, that the inside of a human being was worth more than the outside? that to conceive a higher thing than oneself and live toward that is the only way of living worthily?” (6)
The medieval sense of ethics and inner value had been rejected by the modern industrial age “and so the cancer goes on rotting away the moral fibre, and the man becomes a lump, a squash, a piece of slippery slime taking all shapes and losing all shapes, according to what particular hole or corner he wishes to glide into – a disgusting embodiment of the moral bankruptcy begotten by Thing-Worship”. (7)
De Cleyre shared Gustav Landauer’s equation of anarchy with life itself and explained that this was why the revolutionary struggle would never end: “It will go on because Life cries to live, and Property denies its freedom to live; and Life will not submit. And should not submit”. (8)
This revolutionary life force, the spirit of revolt, could only become real and active when it found expression in the words and deeds of individuals, she stressed.
“Individuality is a thing that cannot be killed. Quietly it may be, but just as certainly, silently, perhaps, as the growth of a blade of grass, it offers its perpetual and unconquerable protest against the dictates of Authority”. (9)
She said the malign Dominant Idea stifling the human spirit could only be challenged if individuals had the courage and determination to resist its power and were able to source, and remain true to, a sense of justice that came from within themselves.
If they could do that, they could end their days in the knowledge that they had done what had to be done, she said: “At the end of life you may close your eyes, stating:
‘I have not been dominated by the Dominant Idea of my Age; I have chosen mine own allegiance and served it”. (10)

July 10 2021. We publish a new e-book by Paul Cudenec, Fascism
As the narrative surrounding Covid-19 continues to break down, here are five things you need to know (as explained by Steve Kirsch):
1) Even the World Health Organization (WHO) is warning against covid “booster” shots
It made sense to some people to just go along with it when it was just one or two doses. But now that governments want people to take a third or even a fourth injection for the Fauci Flu, many are saying enough is enough.
Both EEU regulators and officials at WHO now admit that booster shots do not make sense, which is why they are advising the public against taking them. There is no evidence to support a booster shot program and everybody knows it.
2) More jabs means more infections
They have been trying to hide this fact from the public, but the data clearly shows that the more shots people get, the more likely they are to develop symptoms associated with “covid.”
The unvaccinated, meanwhile, are healthier, on average, compared to their “fully vaccinated” counterparts.
3) Covid jabs are NOT safe
On top of not working as claimed, covid injections are also unsafe. Many formerly pro-vaccine doctors and other health experts are speaking out against the shots, warning that they do not work.
“This is great news,” Kirsch writes. “Nobody is going public yet, but they are all [upset] and realize they have been misled. It will not be pretty. This is of course great news.”
4) Face masks do not protect against disease (hint: they spread MORE of it)
It took a long time to get to this point, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has finally admitted that cloth masks are useless at preventing the spread of covid or any other disease.
Corrupt CDC head Rochelle Walensky had no way out of fessing up to this truth after data was published showing that face veils are more of a religious rite than a viable medical intervention.
“The other mask types don’t work either, but it will take them longer to figure out the obvious,” Kirsh says.
“P100 respirators do work but only a small percentage of people know that. I can’t wait to see Rochelle Walensky wear a P100 respirator; after all, she should be modelling best practices.”
5) Young people especially should not be getting “boosted”
Even though Tony Fauci claims otherwise, there is zero evidence to suggest that covid injections are safe or effective for young people.
In fact, many doctors and other health experts are warning against parents getting their children “boosted,” despite the fact that colleges and universities all across the country are demanding them of students who wish to return to campus.
“Someone is very wrong here and for once it isn’t the WHO,” Kirsh says.
A few other things Kirsch says people should know is that remdesivir is dangerous and ineffective. It has become standard procedure to administer this drug to covid patients at hospitals across America, but only because Fauci makes money every time remdesivir is injected into a patient’s body.
Also, social distancing is a farce. MIT came out with a study back in April which found that avoiding other people and treating them like the walking plague does nothing to stop the spread of disease.
“6 feet or 60 feet made no difference,” Kirsch writes. “People still haven’t figured this out.”
One of Kirsch’s subscribers pointed out that it was obvious from the beginning that all of this was nonsense. But better late than never, right?

«The gold miners pour more poison mercury on the earth than the weight of the gold they take away. They are like living dead, covered in golden mud.»

Gold mining destroying Indigenous territory in the Amazon Rainforest
Gold mining and the indiscriminate use of mercury to ferret out gold are turning swaths of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems into a nightmarish moonscape!
As much as 75% of the gold extracted each year is used for jewelry, watches and other vain and futile status symbols sold byCartierand other corporations in the luxury industry as well as discount retailers worldwide. Tens of thousands of rainforest trees must be uprooted, hundreds of tons of soil mined and mixed with dozens of tons of toxic environmental pollutants that contaminate indigenous lands for that one special gold ring…

Its objective is to sequence the entire genome of living beings on Earth, to obtain the most complete genetic atlas.
The initiative, made up of more than 5,000 scientists, has just passed the testing phase and begins large-scale work.
It is called the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) and it is made up of more than 5,000 scientists from around the world, united with a common goal: to sequence the genome of all forms of life on Earth to obtain the most complete ‘genetic atlas’ of the biodiversity of the planet.
The initiative, which has just successfully passed the testing phase and is now beginning large-scale work, aims to sequence the genome of the almost two million species of plants, animals and fungi that have been described on Earth and of those that so far only 0.5% have been sequenced.
Boris needs something huge to divert attention from his own rank hypocrisy. Ukraine doesn’t really fit the bill. From Finian Cunningham at strategic-culture.org:
Boris Johnson attempting to start a war with Russia partly over an illicit birthday party is a descent into deplorable and gutless slapstick.
The old dictum is truer than ever that stoking conflict in some distant land is an effective distraction from domestic political woes. But in the case of British prime-minister Boris Johnson, the ruse descends into farce.
Johnson is counting the days until his Conservative party finally gets rid of this train-wreck of a leader. Lies, incompetence and scandals ooze from Downing Street under his watch. Even Britain’s Tory press has given up on its loyalty to Johnson who is now seen as an irredeemable election liability for Conservatives.
That’s why Johnson’s “warning” to Russia this week of “severe consequences” if it invades Ukraine…
Info here is mainly fromMarcie Smith Parenti author of the best report “Why won’t the US medical establishment “believe women”? Covid-19 vaccines do not warn about menstrual disruption” read original HERE
It came out that at least half of women submitting to the US Covid vaccines are suffering severe menstruation disruption, often going on for months, OB-GYN, Dr. Jen Gunter, recommending that women:
Of course we know menstruation is a key part of human reproduction, without it we wouldn`t even exist –The US medical capitalists still dismiss women as ‘silly girls’, and suppress tens of thousands of reports of severe menstruation problems and ‘spontaneous’ abortions after receiving MRNA experimental Covid vaccines-.
“I have five female friends who, after receiving Covid-19 vaccines, experienced disruption to their menstrual cycles. Their symptoms have included hemorrhagic bleeding lasting more than a month; heavy intermittent bleeding for four months; passing golf-ball size clots of blood; and extreme cramping, serious enough to land one friend in the ER..
The vaccine companies are predator capitalists. One of the many laws they break is one, introduced after decades of ignoring us completely, mandating that new vaccines must now at least study effects on women, with the ‘excuse’ that ‘sorry dear we don’t have time’. (Consideration of Sex as a Biological Variable in NIH-funded Research)
Although the CDC and FDA were happy to detail vaccine side effects like DIZZINESS they commissioned zero research into women’s suffering (up to mid 2021 at least) and banned all mention of severe reproductive symptoms in half of humanity.
Instead they doubled down on the “95% effective and 100% safe” narrative while hugely inflating the case and death statistics with fake PCR levels and raking in tens of billions of dollars.
And that was just the start. Women were ignored but right to complain. For the “6 out of ten menstruation disorders” were followed by a great tsunami of lost foetuses, stillbirths, birth defects and uterine cancers, much of it stll not admitted to this day.
And that’s not all either. Still to come are the strongly suspected mass fertility loss, ADE syndrome, VAIDS (negative immune systems), ‘slow learning’, etcetera .
Translated into human terms all this means billions of years of acute women’s suffering.
But the vaccine companies, the ‘Pharma Industrial complex’, Blackrock and their paid off politicians, doctors and media pundits couldn’t care less.
Perhaps the Covid ‘Mass Formation Psychosis‘ includes the curse of patriarchal conditioning and ‘Me Too denial’.
“Women deserve an immediate and thorough investigation into reports of post-vaccine menstrual disregulation, clear and honest explanations of the findings, medical guidance for restoring menstrual health, restitution where necessary, a redoubled commitment to the principle of informed consent moving forward, and (like everyone else) access to reasonable, clearly-communicated, non-punitive accommodations if they decline a COVID-19 vaccine at this time.
Instead, women concerned about the health effects of Covid-19 vaccines have been subjected to 1950’s-style dismissals and demonization in blatantly sexist terms that stand at odds with #MeToo era calls to “believe women.”
Indeed, even sex-specific data on the general safety of Covid vaccines for women is scant.
American medicine has a long history of excluding women from pharmaceutical research trials, then assuming the effects of medication tested on men would be the same on women – residue of ancient Greek medicine’s view that the female body was a deviation from the norm, which was male.
This goes back a long way. J Marion Sims is still honoured as the ‘inventor of gynecologywith statues all over Nth America, some now torn down by blacks and women.
His fame rests on his use of slaves as guinea pigs in a long series of operations without anesthesia to test out his surgical inventions
Healthcare’s sexist history influences women to refuse Covid vaccines which can cause menstruation disruption, miscarriages, stillbirths, deformed kids and infertility.
They never did proper tests on pregnant animals because there ‘wasn’t time’. Indeed in most previous animal trials of mRNA vaccines ‘all the animals died’.
For Humans the experimental vaccines were the trial.
Reports on smaller still uncensored sites, like this one, were 100% ignored. Publicized studies were disguised to exclude the huge numbers of miscarriages following the Covid vaccinnes.
“92% of Miscarriages were in first 13 weeks”- Peer-Reviewed Study demands “Immediate Withdrawal of mRNA COVID Vaccines”
Researchers In Peer-Reviewed Study Call For “IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL of mRNA COVID Vaccines For Use in Pregnant Women, for Those Breastfeeding, Those Of Childbearing Age and for Children”
“The study used to greenlight the vaccine for the pregnant did not include women in early pregnancywhen most Babies are Lost
The drive to make pregnant women submit to the vaccine rested on a now discredited study by a Dr. Shimabukuro (who on June 10, 2021 also reported no increased risk of myocarditis).
The study manipulated and excluded statistics, but was used (and still is despite being discredited..see: The study, though, was corrected last month after concerns were raised) to legitimize orders to vaccinate pregnant women around the world.
Just one more of the CDC’s blatant crimes against women.Source.
The UK originally recommended that pregnant women and nursing mothers should NOT get the experimental COVID shots, but like the CDC in the U.S., they eventually changed their recommendation to encourage pregnant women to get the shots. (Source.)
blood clotting shortly after vaccination, potentially leading to heart attacks, stroke, and venous thrombosis
grave harm to female fertility
grave harm to breastfed infants
cumulative toxicity after multiple injections
With the exception of female fertility, which “can simply not be evaluated within the short period of time for which the vaccines have been in use”, all of the above risks have been substantiated since the vaccines have been rolled out—all are manifest in the reports to the various adverse event registries.
As of July 26, VAERS showed many thousands of reports of various menstruation disorders, most related to mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.
There had been 1,624 reports of “menstruation irregular” logged; 1,352 reports of “menstrual disorder”; 563 reports of “menstruation delayed”; 803 reports of “vaginal hemorrhaging”; 239 reports of “postmenopausal hemorrhage”; 95 reports of “hemorrhage urinary tract”; 57 reports of “abnormal uterine bleeding”; and 41 reports of “hemorrhage in pregnancy.”
By November 7, 2021, 2,433 Dead Babies (fetal deaths) were reported in VAERSs as Another Study Shows mRNA Shots Not Safe for Pregnant Women
The VAERS DATA IS ESTIMATED TO BE 40 TIMES LESS THAN REALITY BECAUSE VERY FEW ACTUALLY REPORT.
A Harvard study from 2008 found that fewer than 1% of vaccine-related adverse events were captured by the system.
Even more seriously, there were 691 reports of “spontaneousabortion ”; 88 reports of “fetal death”; and 25 reports of “stillbirth.”

A doctor, who is also the owner of a diagnostic lab has found a 20 times increase in cancers since the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Explaining his findings he said that the vaccines seem to be causing serious autoimmune issues, in a way he described as a “reverse HIV” response.
