The mRNA vaccines by Moderna & Pfizer cause the human body to manufacture spike proteins.. by the billion.
The CDC webset “Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine” states: “COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells to make a HARMLESS piece of what is called the “spike protein.” The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19.”
Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages our cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease
They showed that the SPIKE PROTEIN ALONE (with no virus inside) damages your cells by binding ACE2.
Okay a little damage, but we suppose it’s worth it??
The spike proteins can infiltrate to attack your brain, your heart, your liver, your kidneys.. often damaging or just killing you.
It’s not a novel idea, for today large projects aimed to rebuild the world are in decline.
In the twentieth century, the powerful movements mobilized millions of people to storm political Olympus and start “great construction projects”. But during the last century, they have gone bankrupt both ethically and practically, one after the other , and soon vanished entirely.
Here in particular we refer to fascism and communism of the Leninist type. Even the seemingly triumphant liberal project just basically vanished into the global capitalist system and the global political game, where liberal mechanisms are hardly seen.
Among the ambitious ideologists daring to rebuild the world in accordance with their convictions, today, perhaps, only the voice of the jihadists is heard. However, Islamism is clearly not the big project which a person with an anarchist worldview would come to terms with.
from ECS in occupied La Aaiún. | The Moroccan repression in the occupied territories continues to rise, Sahrawi civilians increasingly suffer reprisals from the occupation authorities, who maintain a strict siege on the cities and their homes respectively.
Activists, journalists, militant women, children and adults … no Saharawi is safe since the war in Western Sahara resumed, the Moroccan repression escalates along with the astonishing silence of the international community, the UN and the International Red Cross, who it only increases the impunity that the Moroccan occupying forces already enjoy.
Hassana Moulay Badi, a Sahrawi activist, was surprised by the Moroccan secret police on public roads, initiating a violent attack against the activist that caused several injuries to different parts of his body.
In an exclusive interview with CAM, James Bradley warns that war could break out anytime, and the U.S. would be to blame. Bradley calls for renewed engagement with China at a grass-roots level.
James Bradley is best known as the author, with writer Ron Powers, of Flags of Our Fathers (2000), a New York Times #1 best-selling book that was made into a movie by Stephen Spielberg and Clint Eastwood. The book is about the six Marines who raised the U.S. flag during the Battle of Iwo Jima. One of the men was thought to have been John Bradley, James’s father.
As climate change intensifies and human activity impacts every corner of the planet, repairing our world increasingly means realizing that our fate is intertwined with that of other animal and plant species — not separate from theirs — and that we must think and act accordingly.
If it wasn’t already clear, the Covid-19 pandemic has made it painfully obvious that our lives are entwined with the lives of other animals.
Our health depends on theirs, not only because viruses from their bodies can enter ours, but because we survive thanks to the soil they fertilize and the plants they pollinate.

And as climate disruption escalates, it’s evident that many animals are buffering us from its worst effects, maintaining ecosystems that absorb carbon and help mitigate the effects of sea-level rise.
On Saturday, May 8, there was a Solidarity Rally with the Prisoners of February 27 in front of Brians I Prison.
As they say on the El Lokal page, where we found the above poster, on May 4 the provincial court issued an order denying the release of the six detainees who have been in preventive detention since 27F.
These comrades have been deprived of liberty for 67 days, despite the inconsistency of the evidence and the disproportionate accusations.
May 2021 from Autonomies collective. by Amedeo Bertolo
Utopia lies at the horizon. When I draw nearer by two steps, it retreats two steps. If I proceed ten steps forward, it swiftly slips ten steps ahead. No matter how far I go, I can never reach it. What, then, is the purpose of utopia? It is to cause us to advance.Fernando Birri quoted by Eduardo Galeano
There can be no radical political project – in the broadest sense of “political” -, without myth. And myth projected into the future is utopian.
This is not to abandon the critique of ideology, of hegemonic ideology and its monstrous children: social and/or political vanguards,power as a monolith to be taken or lost, homogeneous space and linear time as the frame of history, moral utilitarianism and instrumental reason, and so on.
Utopia as freedom or freedom as utopia exists in continuous and ever possible tension within itself, defying all homogeneity and fixity. It is condemned to plurality, multiplicity, metamorphoses, collapse, destruction and creation. It is anarchy, the anarchy that sustains anarchism(s) as ideolog(y/ies). And so argues Amedeo Bertolo in the essay that we share below.
With this post, we close our collection of essays by Amedeo Bertolo, part of our series grouped under the title, “writers of May 68”, within which we have included Jaime Semprun, Miguel Amorós, Eduardo Colombo and Amedeo Bertolo.
The reference to “May 68” is a political metaphor in this instance, for aside from Semprun, the other three writers were in their respective countries of origin at the time (Amorós was in Spain, Bertolo in italy, and Colombo in Argentina), but all four writers would be profoundly marked by the events of May and would endeavour to rethink anarchism in the wake of those events.
Three of the essays that we will share in English translation were passed onto us by others. They are: “Authority, Power and Domination”, “Fanatics of Freedom”, “Democracy and Beyond”. We have made changes to the translations only when we believed it was necessary
Our modest effort is dedicated to the memory of Amedeo.
