Keith McHenry of Food Not Bombs is interviewed by Paul Cudenec
Paul Cudenec:Thanks very much for agreeing to this exchange, Keith. It is very encouraging to know that in this age of near-universal deceit and hypocrisy, there are still individuals out there who stand true to their values. First of all, I gather you have a proud family history of fighting for freedom, going back to the American struggle for independence from Britain?
Keith McHenry:Thanks Paul, at this point there is nothing more important than resisting this rush to the totalitarian police state. Our liberty, humanity and connection to the natural world is at stake and we don’t have much time to stop this catastrophe. Events grow more dire every day so, by the time people read this, the devastation of war, censorship, famine and digital slavery may be so severe many in our audience are likely…

On the other hand, Erdogan has called out his badly paid jihadi mercenaries, all men in strict hierarchies, without their women servants, all subscribing to unreformed medievil scripts- death to gays, lesbians, trans, shia arabs, but especially Kurds.
Tal Rifaat is host to a Kurdish-majority population of civilians expelled with the loss of everythin, from Afrin, a region that Turkey and its proxy Syrian militants occupied in 2018.
Back in February 2016, Kurdish-backed forces had taken the nearby town of Tal Rifaat from ISIS rebel groups.
Around 170,000 displaced Kurds from Afrin (Efrîn) fled to Tal Rifaat during Turkey’s 2018 invasion and the chaotic occupation of the Afrin region by assorted Turkish sponsored terrorist groups now redundant after sweeping gains by the Damascus regime.
Turkey has threatened on several occasions to launch a cross-border offensive to capture Tal Rifaat. So far, Russia and Iran have deterred such action.
However, Turkish-backed groups, and Turkish army in the nearby Azaz HQ, regularily pound the area wirth artillery and drones, targeting civilians in 4 massacres.
Kurdish-backed groups in Tal Rifaat have responded by shelling positions controlled by their fighters. They were using mortar shells, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).

The incidents come amid ongoing tensions between Kurdish-led forces of the AANES autonomous revolutionary administration(SDF) and Turkey.
On Friday, a Turkish drone attack injured a Kurdish civilian in the town of Kobani while Turkish-backed groups shelled the M4 road near Ain Issa in northeast Syria.
The Shehba (Shabha) camps have been self organised horizontally on the model of the Rojava revolution, with equality for all races and especially women, and all kinds of communally organized production, facilities and initiatives.
Two thousand children from the Afrin region in Kurdish, Arab and Yezidi, aged between 6 and 12 years, gathered with their teachers in Serdam camp in Al-Ahdath district of Al-Shahba canton to participate in the drawing of the world’s longest painting.

Kurdish officials and media have shown that that Damascus the regime has imposed sieges on pockets of territory belonging to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Shahba district – home to hundreds of thousands of Kurds who fled the Turkish invasion of Afrin in early 2018 – and the Ashrafiyah and Sheikh Maqsoud Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo.
In October 2019, after Turkey attacked Kurdish forces in northern Syria, the US and Russia reached separate ceasefire agreements with Turkey to stop the fighting between Kurdish-backed forces and Turkish-backed rebels.
Despite this shelling by Turkish-backed groups and drone strikes by the Turkish army have continued to target Kurdish-led forces and civilians.

Now, along with Manbij, Shebha/Tal Rifaat is incredibly targeted for annihilation by Turkey and proxies. For this they need Russian airspace permission, (which they got in thge Afrin takeover in 2018 by signing the Turkstream 2 gas pipeline).
This time round Russia can ill afford to prevent a massacre of women and children refugees. Because Turkey holds the key to preventing a NATO takeover of the Black Sea, because they could close Turkstream 2, … etc.
Tal Rifaat/Shebha is defended by the makeshift multi ethnic SDF forces To the south is Damascus regime territory, and urgent pleas for help have led to a buildup by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), despite their anri Kurd hostility.

And what about the USA? The SDF is in theory supported by themm but only sometimes and against ISIS . The USA stood idly by in the Afrin invasion, for instance, as Turkey use the NATO base in Incirlik to blast the Afrin (Efrîn) resistance with US mad jetys and German made tanks. Now of course NATO (The US) cannot say boo to Turkey without delaying Nordic accession.
Thousands of people joined a demonstration in Tel Rifaat town of the Shehba Canton on Sunday 10th Nov 2019 in protest at the Turkish state’s invasion and genocidal practices in northern Syria. 40% of the population of Efrin (Afrin) now survive in a semi no-man’s land, defended by the multi-ethnic SDF of AANES, after expulsion by the Turkish invasion, plantation and Turkification of their homes and propertiesTurkey’s New Maps Are Reclaiming the Ottoman Empire – Foreign PolicyPutin is condemned worldwide for ‘Imperialism’ after invading Donbas to protect ethnic Russians.

‘First objective in any Turkish campaign in Syria will be Tall Rifat’ says journalist
Amed Dicle, a journalist specialising in the region, estimates that Turkey will probably launch a large scale military campaign in northern Syria in July, and that Russia has already given its consent.
Dicle said that the remarks of the Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov about Turkey’s involvement in Syria was an indication of a possible agreement between Russia and Turkey.
“Because Turkey needs Russia in Syria, and Russia needs Turkey,” he said. “The Ukrainian issue did not have a negative impact on relations between Turkey and Russia, as is widely presumed.”
Dicle added that the United States was also likely to give a green light for the illegal genocidal Turkish invasion.
SOHR activists have reported that Turkish forces stationed at bases in “Euphrates Shield” area have carries out intensive rocket fire on the villages of Yalini and Mohsenli and other areas on “Al-Sajur Line” in Manbij countryside, east of Aleppo.

One fighter noted that “when the Turkish lira began to lose value against the Syrian pound our salaries became worthless”.[2]
This rocket attack coincided with a Russian warplane flying over the area.
Meanwhile, clashes are now taking place between regime forces and SDF military forces on the one hand, and National Army factions on the other on Al-Kuridiyah frontline in the vicinity of Qabasin in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
SOHR sources had reported that patrols of Russian forces inspected the positions of regime forces that were targeted by Turkish drones in Tel Rifaat city and its outskirts in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
A few hours ago, SOHR activists reported that a kamikaze drone hit a checkpoint of regime forces’ “state security” branch, near the train tracks in the city centre of Tel Rifaat, north of Aleppo, leaving material damage only.
This morning, SOHR activists reported that a kamikaze drone hit a Syrian regime military post on the outskirts of Tel Rifaat in northern Aleppo countryside. Material damage only was reported.
Syrian regime forces also succeeded to shoot down the drone in Tel Rifaat, partially damaging a house.
Syrian Observatory activists also reported that Turkish forces stationed at Al-Thulthanah base on the outskirts of Marea city and scientific research in Azaz city fired over 25 heavy artillery shells on the vicinity of Tel Rifaat city and the vicinity of Kafrnaya and Maranaz in the northern countryside of Aleppo since early morning.
This shelling ignited terror and fear among people and displaced persons in Kafrnaya village.
Meanwhile, regime forces responded by shelling the outskirts of Marea with several artillery shells.
On the other hand, Turkish forces shelled areas in the villages of Umm Adasa, Umm Jaloud, Al-Sayyada, Pak and Yran in Manbij countryside, north-east of Aleppo.
This development comes as a part of the ongoing Turkish military escalation in the area.
The Siege of Shebha
The siege imposed by Damascus Government on al-Shehba, the Syrian Government has been starving the people of al-Shehab and Afrin since 4 years, where the refugees exceed 150,000, including, the indigenous people, they are living in 5 camps and semi-destroyed houses.”
And added ” The siege has doubled the suffering in getting the diesel, gas, medicinal aids, baby milk, flour and other foodstuffs, as this violates the principles of international humanitarian law, as well as the 1977 Additional Protocols annexed to the four Geneva Conventions as well as under Rule 53 of the Law.”

FDA officials predicted a major COVID-19 outbreak will occur in the US autumn. Manufacturers will have to race to produce the rebranded, experimental boosters by fall, The New York Times reported.The new image of the deadly mRNA ‘vaccines’ with more untested ingredients ensures multi billion dollar profits worldwideand slots into the mandates of the WHO’s Great Reset agenda
Multiple concerns raised during the public comment session
“The proposed move by VRBPAC will increase the harm to the U.S. public to unprecedented levels, as this action will further circumvent necessary clinical trials even beyond the slapdash testing of COVID-19 vaccines under Emergency Use Authorization.
“This adds to a foundation of lies used to authorize the original COVID-19 vaccines without anywhere near proper testing.”
“All the risks are to the innocent children and all of the billion-dollar rewards go to the government-protected pharmaceuticals,” said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas)
Michael Briskin pointed out in his public comment that the FDA receives approximately 75% of its budget from pharmaceutical companies, which he believes represents a conflict of interest.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) vaccine advisory panel on Tuesday voted 19 to 2 to recommend without further testingnew COVID-19 booster shots that include the Omicron variant this fall.
It is the first time VRBPAC has suggested vaccine makers modify their vaccines to target a different variant, according to CNBC, which also reported the FDA will likely accept the committee’s recommendation.
If so, the FDA would be authorizing a vaccine change without requiring additional data showing a bivalent vaccine — containing both the original 2019 Wuhan variant and one of the Omicron variants — is safe and effective for those age groups that are already authorized to receive a booster dose.
The FDA plans to decide by early July whether vaccines will target the now-dominant BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants or the BA.1 Omicron variant that led to a surge in infections last winter, Reuters reported.
At the beginning of the meeting, Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, suggested a newly designed shot could begin in October, adding that it takes manufacturers around three months to choose a vaccine design and begin producing doses.
Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and professor of pediatrics in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Dr. Hank Bernstein, professor of pediatrics at Zucker School of Medicine, were the only two members who broke from the panel to vote against the initiative.
Offit acknowledged there’s a benefit to providing a booster in the fall to some age groups, but questioned whether Omicron was the right strain. He said the move to new-variant vaccines was happening too fast, with too little data.
“I think as a new product it should be handled as a new product,” Offit said. “I think we need a higher standard than what we’ve been given. …“I’m not comfortable enough to support the risk of a new product.”
Bernstein expressed concern over the lack of data used to justify changing the strain, and the potential that by the time a subsequent booster is approved, it will contain outdated strains.
“So, in sum, I think including an Omicron strain in the vaccine seems to have some potential, but data especially for BA.4 and BA.5 are limited at this time, and that’s why I’m struggling to even make a strain change at this time,” Bernstein said.
