It’s not climate or covid, or “both”

But a blast past the limits to growth

The systems all flicker

The “leaders” just bicker

And repeat their grow-tesque kind of oath.

On flickering – see this from Monbiot, October 2023.

❗️Israel Attacked Flotilla Carrying Aid For Gaza (Video)

A ship carrying humanitarian aid and activists bound for the Gaza Strip was attacked by drones while in international waters off the coast of Malta over the night of May 1 and 2, The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, a pro-Palestinian activist group, said.

“The drone strike appears to have deliberately targeted the ship’s generator, leaving the crew without power and placing the vessel at great risk of sinking,” the group said.

Israel remained silent. However, Yedioth Ahronoth military correspondent Yossi Yehoshua hinted that the country was indeed behind the attack.

L’organizzazione umanitaria ‘Gaza Freedom Flotilla’ ha annunciato che circa sei ore fa, una delle sue navi è stata attaccata due volte da droni israeliani mentre si trovava in acque internazionali vicino a Malta.

Si annuncia che a bordo ci siano 30 operatori umanitari.

Questa è la seconda volta dallo scoppio della guerra a Gaza che Israele sabota i piani dell’organizzazione umanitaria di consegnare gli aiuti; la prima volta è avvenuta nell’aprile 2024, ed è la quinta volta in assoluto.

It is announced that there are 30 humanitarian workers on board.

This is the second time since the outbreak of the war in Gaza that Israel has sabotaged the humanitarian organization’s plans to deliver aid; the first time was in April 2024, and it is the fifth time overall.

The Irish band Kneecap sparked controversy again after condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza during a recent California concert. Critics piled on, using video footage to accuse them of inciting violence against Tory politicians and supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. The band apologized for past remarks taken out of context, while highlighting Western hypocrisy amid ongoing US-backed […]

Kneecap are not the story. Gaza is the story. Genocide is the story.

Executive summary

I was asked to write my rationale for why the shots should be stopped in 3 paragraphs.

My 3 paragraphs.

There are two primary reasons the COVID vaccines should be stopped:In actual use, they provide no protection against COVID infections or deaths and

They were shown in a study by the Florida Dept of Health that they can increase risk of non COVID death by 36% or more.

Vaccines are NEVER supposed to increase all-cause mortality. They are always supposed to decrease it.

A 36% mortality rate increase over the Florida population for those getting Pfizer is MEDICAL DISASTER. If we extrapolate the Florida results to the full US, it means that Pfizer alone likely was responsible for the death of over 470,000 Americans.

Clearly, the CDC has proven that it has COMPLETELY INADEQUATE SAFETY MONITORING in place. The Pfizer vaccine has been killing people for over 4 years now, yet the CDC hasn’t found a single death from any mRNA vaccine.

Both vaccines failed to show a mortality benefit in their randomized trials which is the “gold standard” of scientific evidence.

One of the best independent studies on COVID vaccine safety was done by Andre Redert. He looked at 30 EU countries where data was available. He found that even if the COVID shots were 100% perfect in preventing deaths, that the shots would still kill more people than they saved. His fatality numbers were nearly an exact match to the fatality numbers in the Florida study. Different methods, same result. A stunning affirmation of both studies.

A new paper, “Paradoxical increase in COVID deaths in counties with highest COVID vaccinations” showed more vaccinations were associated with more COVID deaths, consistent with what I said above.

After the COVID vaccines rolled out, if they worked, there would be a “discontinuity” in the slope of the cumulative COVID deaths. There was no slope discontinuity in any country until the variants got so weak by nature that people stopped dying. It wasn’t the vaccine at all.

To have a mortality benefit, which is the most important factor with so many COVID deaths, a vaccine must either (1) reduce the case fatality rate (CFR) or (2) the risk of infections or both.

These vaccines did neither.

After the vaccines rolled out in the US during alpha, the CFR remained flat during the rollout period when it should have plummeted. Similarly, the impact on cases was negligible.

In the Czech Republic, even though they rolled out vaccines in stages to the elderly, the drop in cases post vaccination happened at EXACTLY the same rate for all ages, conclusively showing the vaccines didn’t change the risk of infection.

Furthermore, the Czech data shows that vaccinated and unvaccinated died in the same proportions during both high and no COVID periods. This is yet another sign the vaccines did nothing.

In Israel, with one of the most aggressive vaccination programs in the world, they had 10X higher COVID cases during Delta and Omicron (vs. Alpha), the highest in the world. If the vaccines worked, they should have had the lowest.

In fact, the vaccinations led to immune system damage causing the vaccinated to be MORE susceptible to COVID.

As far as I can tell, in nearly every workplace in America, it’s the COVID vaccinated who are out sick more than the unvaccinated.

Harvard put together a data explorer showing states with higher vaccination rates had higher COVID cases. The increased cases not only caused the vaccinated to die more, but when there are more cases, the unvaccinated will die more as well. So the COVID vaccine adversely impacted the unvaccinated as well.

They don’t want to talk about it. The very data that they should use to prove efficacy is ignored because that data (from the Czech Republic) is public and so any manipulations would be exposed.

If the vaccines worked, there would be dozens of papers analyzing the Czech Republic public record-level data to show the vaccines were beneficial. Yet there are none.

It is a shame there are no public debates on this topic because those promoting the shots refuse to engage. That alone tells you everything you need to know.

Summary

At a minimum, all Americans should be informed of the facts

In summary, the vaccines were neither safe nor effective.

by CNT-AIT on Mayday 2025 via thefreeonline at https://wp.me/pIJl9-GLX

May 1st is a day of workers’ struggle around the world, a day instituted after the murder of five anarchist workers in Chicago in 1886, when the McCormick factory workers were on strike for the eight-hour day.

And today the struggle of the working class must continue because, despite having achieved rights and improvements since that distant 1886 in Chicago, it is also true that many rights remain to be won and recovered, those that are being taken away from us.

Capitalism, in its greed for profit, never ceases to make people’s living conditions increasingly precarious.

With crises, the number of rich people increases, but at the same time, the number of poor people increases. And day by day, we see how the purchasing power of wages decreases; rents and housing prices increase, preventing young people from accessing housing and keeping those who can afford it tied to banks for 20 or 30 years.

We workers see how the State is privatizing public services like healthcare, which for years has not been given the necessary resources; Public education resources are being cut while military spending, which is the business of death, increases outrageously.

The purchasing power of pensions is increasingly reduced, which is terrible because these pensions often serve to alleviate the lack of resources of unemployed children and grandchildren.

Unions that receive state funds, by participating in the game of union elections, to maintain social peace and take their share of the pie, sign agreements with wage increases that are below the real cost of living.

The cost of living has risen by 12% on average, the price of basic necessities has increased by 30% to 40%, and the agreements are being signed with increases of 2.5% to 4%.

All this while calling off widely supported strikes that demanded increases in line with the rising cost of living.

From the National Confederation of Labor, affiliated with the International Workers’ Association (CNT-AIT), we address you, the working class, to tell you that we offer you a tool of struggle, like our Union, to recover the pride and dignity that we have allowed to be taken away from us for years.

For years, capitalism has divided the working class in two: one the middle class and the other the working class. In reality, all of us who depend on a salary are working class, susceptible to losing our jobs whenever the employer sees fit.

The CNT-AIT wants to tell you that when workers became self-aware and organized in the National Confederation of Labor, the employers of this country became aware of the strength of the working class and began to respect them.

ORGANIZE IN THE CNT-AIT AND TOGETHER

LET’S FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS

AND THE DIGNITY OF WORKERS.

1 de Mayo: Basta de explotación, precariedad, mordaza, sumisión

El 1º de Mayo es un día de lucha obrera en todo el mundo, un día que se instituyó después del asesinato de 5 obreros anarquistas en Chicago en 1886 estando los obreros de la fábrica McCormick en huelga por la consecución de la jornada de ocho horas.

Y hoy la lucha de la clase trabajadora debe seguir adelante porque a pesar de haber conseguido derechos y mejoras desde aquel lejano 1886 de Chicago, también es cierto que quedan muchos derechos por conquistar y recuperar, los que nos están quitando.

Y es que el Capitalismo no cesa, en su voracidad por acumular beneficios, de hacer que las condiciones de vida de las personas sean cada vez más precarias.

Con las crisis aumenta el número de ricos, pero, a la vez, se incrementa el número de pobres. Y día a día vemos como el poder adquisitivo de los salarios es más bajo; se incrementan los alquileres y el precio de la vivienda, impidiendo el acceso a la misma a los más jóvenes, y manteniendo al que puede comprarla atado a los bancos durante 20 o 30 años.

Los trabajadores vemos como, desde el Estado, se están privatizando servicios públicos como la Sanidad, a la que desde hace años no se le dan los recursos que se necesitan; se recortan los recursos para la enseñanza publica mientras aumentan escandalosamente los gastos militares, que es el negocio de la muerte.

El poder adquisitivo de las pensiones cada vez es más reducido, lo cual es terrible porque muchas veces esas pensiones sirven para paliar la falta de recursos de lxs hijxs y nietxs que están desempleadxs.

Los Sindicatos que cobran del Estado, por participar en el juego de las Elecciones Sindicales, para mantener la paz social y llevarse su parte del pastel, firman convenios con aumentos salariales que están por debajo del coste real de la vida, el mismo ha subido un 12 % de media, el aumento de los productos de primera necesidad del 30 al 40 % y los convenios los están firmado con aumentos del 2’5 al 4 %. Todo esto desconvocando huelgas con amplio apoyo que revindicaban subidas acorde con el aumento del coste de la vida.

Desde la Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, adherida a la Asociación Internacional de los Trabajadores (CNT-AIT), nos dirigimos a ti, clase trabajadora, para decirte que ponemos a tu disposición una herramienta de lucha como nuestro Sindicato para recuperar el orgullo y la dignidad que durante años hemos dejado que nos arrebaten.

Desde hace años el Capitalismo ha dividido a la clase trabajadora en dos: una la clase media y la otra clase trabajadora. En realidad, todxs los que dependemos de un salario somos clase trabajadora, susceptibles de perder el empleo cuando al empleador le parezca.

La CNT-AIT queremos decirte que realmente cuando lxs obrerxs tomaron conciencia de sí mismxs y se organizaron en la Confederación Nacional del Trabajo los patronos de este país tomaron conciencia de la fuerza de la clase trabajadora y empezaron a respetarlxs.
