ESTE DEBE SER EL OBJETIVO PRINCIPAL A DERRIBAR, DE CUALQUIER AMANTE DE LA DEMOCRACIA
Los laboratorios biológicos son operados por el programa militar de la Agencia de Reducción de Defensa de Amenazas de EEUU, o DTRA por las siglas en inglés. Además, el personal civil de estas empresas privadas puede operar en nombre del Gobierno estadounidense bajo cobertura diplomática, una práctica a la que recurre habitualmente la CIA.
Hay tres empresas de este tipo que operan en Ucrania: Metabiota Inc., Southern Research Institute y Black & Veatch, con puestos clave ocupados por antiguos, y en algunos casos, actuales oficiales militares y de inteligencia de alto rango.
Además del Pentágono, estas empresas dirigen proyectos federales de investigación biológica para la CIA y otras agencias gubernamentales.
Según diversas fuentes, la DTRA financia unos 15 laboratorios biológicos en Ucrania, y hay datos acumulados sobre 10 de ellos:

Between 475,000 and 514,000 migrants resided in an irregular administrative situation in Spain at the end of 2020.
A scenario in which around 14% of non-EU migrants are denied the possibility of accessing daily procedures such as a rental or employment contract, to the health system or to the creation of their own bank account.
These data are what the Fundación porCausa denounces in its latest study on the need to approve an extraordinary regularization of undocumented migrants
In 2021, the percentage of migrants in this situation grew to 16%, despite the decrease in arrivals during the first months of the pandemic.
This contrasts with the xenophobic approach that some parliamentary groups make of the southern border, something that the Observatory of the Right of Asylum, Forced Migration and Borders (CEAR) has been denouncing for years.
Of the total number of migrants who arrive in Spain in an irregular situation, 70% are Latin American and only 11% are African.
Last year the number of see (in 2019 there were 31,000).
Currently, a regularization process is open for the nearly 12,000 undocumented Ukrainian migrants in our country, a figure that has doubled since the 2014 invasion of Crimea.
The lack of papers implies a factor of vulnerability of the most basic rights of foreigners. The porCausa study warns of how this situation limits the right to health and education, prevents adequate access to justice for victims and multiplies the chances of living in poverty.
One in three foreigners is at risk of social exclusion, a proportion three times higher than that of Spaniards. This rate doubles in the case of migrant households with minors in their care (60%).
The consequences are even worse for women and children. Around 58% of the undocumented in our country are women, mostly workers dedicated to care and cleaning with eternal days and salaries well below the legal minimum.
One in three female employees in the sector lived below the poverty line in 2019. While for the nearly 125,000 minors living in Spain (25% of all undocumented migrants), irregularity hampers their access to the education system and health and the protection of justice.
This isolation excludes them from society and exposes them to psychiatric pathologies such as stress, anxiety, depression and even suicide.
It is worth remembering how universal access to healthcare was withdrawn from foreigners in an irregular administrative situation from 2012 to 2018. In those six years, mortality in this segment of the population increased by 15%. This reality contrasts, paradoxically, with that experienced during the pandemic, where the fundamental role that migrants play in some sectors considered essential, such as food production, cleaning, care and maintenance services or the transport of goods, have maintained the economy afloat.
According to the latest employment data extracted from the Active Population Survey, most undocumented adult migrants have jobs in the underground economy, which prevents them from making direct contributions through social contributions. Two sectors group more than half of these “informal” jobs: home care (27%) and hospitality (24%).
PorCausa estimates that a generalized regularization would increase the average net tax contribution of each immigrant to around 3,500 euros per year. Which would mean a benefit of between 790 and 950 million euros per year for the public coffers.
On 31 March 1964, the Brazilian military initiated a coup d’état against the democratically-elected progressive government of President João Goulart. The next day, Goulart was deposed and, ten days later, the 295 members of the National Congress handed the state over to General Castello Branco and a military junta. The military ruled over Brazil for the next twenty-one years.

Since the Russian offensive inside Ukraine commenced on February 24, the Ukrainian military has cultivated the image of a plucky little army standing up to the Russian Goliath.
To bolster the perception of Ukrainian military mettle, Kiev has churned out a steady stream of sophisticated propaganda aimed at stirring public and official support from Western countries.
The campaign includes language guides, key messages, and hundreds of propaganda posters, some of which contain fascist imagery and even praise Neo-Nazi leaders.
In Ukraine itself all media is heavily censored, self censored or closed down, with opposition leaders imprisoned, all 11 opposition parties banned and the Russian language, spoken by a third of the population, being forbidden.Popular TV personalities have stooped to recommending killing Russian children and castrating Russian prisoners of war.
In this atmosphere, far from Putin’s goal of ‘denazification’, propaganda lies are firmly believed, even when proven false. For instance the tale of the heroic fighter pilot downing 4 Russian jets in a day, and the ‘massacres’ in the hospital and theatre of Mariupol, after repeated proof they were False Flag spectacles of the Azov nazi occupiers are still presented again as Russian atrocities.
Behind Ukraine’s public relations effort is an army of foreign political strategists, Washington DC lobbyists, and a network of intelligence-linked media outlets.
Ukraine’s propaganda strategy earned it praise from a NATO commander who told the Washington Post, “They are really excellent in stratcom — media, info ops, and also psy-ops.”
The Post ultimately conceded that “Western officials say that while they cannot independently verify much of the information that Kyiv puts out about the evolving battlefield situation, including casualty figures for both sides, it nonetheless represents highly effective stratcom.”

In just 2 years the first Deep-Geo wells will be drilled. With new millimeter technology rocks can be vaporized in a self sealing borehole up to 20kms deep.
It’s not toxic, reaches only the hot rocks well before magma, and doesn’t fracture or poison ground water like fracking.
And you can do it almost anywhere.. that is: right next to redundant coal, oil and gas power stations, supplying the super heated steam to power their turbines, without oil, gas coal or nuclear.. 100% CO2 free! (unless we include CO2 released in the manufacture of the drilling equipment)
We live on a piece that fell off the sun. Just 20kms down the rocks are at 500 C. All we need to do is drill down, pump in water and use superheated steam for free electricity lasting millions of years.
Problems:
Deep-Geo is not fully demonstrated yet.
It’s happening in the US where the oil/gas lobby may try to stop it.
It won’t end capitalism, though if it goes viral worldwide it could slow down the Climate Catastrophe, though ecocide would continue.
The challenge for Activists against Climate Meltdown is to evaluate the reality of the Deep-Geo promise and, if it really works as promised, to support and demand it, while continuing to campaign against ongoing Capitalist Ecocide and Biosphere collapse.

The Perfect Energy Source Is Already Here – Endless Geothermal Is Poised for Release From Deep in the Earth
The base of the new drilling method was discovered ‘accidentally’ by Paul Woskov and his team and developed for 10 years at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center before various companies began trials.
As physicists work in the nuclear fusion sector, they inadvertently invented a tool that could allow geothermal plants to deliver limitless clean energy by harnessing the power of the Earth.
That tool is a large millimeter-wave laser drill that will allow engineers to bore down more than 12.4 miles (20 km) into the Earth’s crust to harness the heat from the planet’s core.
This laser drilling technology is being pioneered by a spin-off company called Quaise from MIT .
A plasma drill made by Slovakian company GA Drilling.“The millimetre-wave beam does not rotate so the shape of the beam will determine the shape of the borehole cross section,” says Woskov. “By using circular or elliptical shaped launch waveguides we have produced circular and elliptical holes in basalt in the laboratory. “Using an elliptical-shaped bore hole aligned with the asymmetric subsurface stresses will increase the collapse strength of a borehole by factors of 10 or more.” https://safetowork.com.au/a-revolutionary-approach-to-drilling/
The bottom line is that this idea is not science fiction, and Quaise has the money to put several full-scale demonstration machines into action by 2024, and hopes to have a 100- megawatt supercritical geothermal plant in operation by 2026.
At 12.4 miles into the Earth’s crust, temperatures soar to 500°C, a sector-redefining level compared to traditional drill bit borehole temperatures of around 200°C. At this stage and depth, water under the ground becomes “supercritical,” a state of matter where it’s neither a gas nor a liquid.
“A power plant that uses supercritical water as the working fluid can extract up to 10 times more useful energy from each drop when compared to non-supercritical plants,” a spokesperson from Quaise told New Atlas. “Aiming for supercritical conditions is key to attaining power densities consistent with fossil fuels.”
A recycling masterclass
It’s perhaps ironic that humans would seek to harness the energy of the sun and stars in a nuclear fusion reactor when there is 20 billion times more heat under our feet than the entire world’s energy consumption. Merely 0.03% of global energy is delivered from geothermal despite this richness.
A virtually limitless supply of energy exists in the form of this supercritical fluid snaking its way through the crust and mantle of the planet, and just 0.01% of it would provide far more wattage than the world uses.
In order to reach it though, we need better drilling technology, and Quaise is taking advantage of the work put into a 1970s piece of technology called a gyrotron.
When needing to heat water into a plasma at the heart of a nuclear fusion reactor, scientists need to generate between 90-150 million degrees Celsius of heat. This has been done by both lasers and super magnets.
The gyrotron is one of those lasers, and it generates electromagnetic waves in the millimeter-wave spectrum, shorter than microwaves and longer than infrared or visible light. Designed, invented, and tested in the USSR, the device is excellent at rapidly heating up a plasma without substantial energy usage.
So, accessing already existing energy with already existing technology, Quaise has proved itself remarkably efficient. They’ve raised $63 million in funding and they’re looking to cut out fossil fuels in a real way before the end of the decade.
Their next planned step may be the greatest recycling trick in the industry.
As coal-fired power plants continue to be shuttered around the world, their giant, already established infrastructure for converting steam into electricity, large electricity distribution equipment, and talented workforce could simply be taken over by Quaise, who could merely replace the coal-fired components with those meant for harnessing supercritical water.
Pure futurism
“There are somewhere upwards of 8,500 coal-fired power plants around the world, totaling over 2,000 gigawatts of capacity, and they’ll all have to find something else to do by 2050,” writes Loz Blain at New Atlas.
Blain argues this is more revolutionary than nuclear fusion, and the beauty of the design, if it works, is that the technology originally made for fusion reactors could end up putting them out of a job.
At 12-15 miles below the Earth’s surface, it doesn’t matter where the drill or ex-coal plant is located, the heat will be pretty much the same.
In fact, the world would be set for a paradigm shift.
Since unlimited clean energy could be obtained within most nations, it would untether them from geo-political concerns about oil-rich countries like the US and their human rights abuses.
On land and sea, birds and wildlife would be untouched by any massive polluting oil spills that would become a thing of the past.

It’s so surreal how we’re closer to nuclear war than we’ve been since the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it’s only continuing to escalate, and yet hardly anyone seems to notice and almost everyone is just going about their lives thinking their usual thoughts and having their usual conversations.
Vladimir Putin has put Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert and has issued threats of nuclear retaliation should western powers try to intervene in Russian military operations in Ukraine. The Biden administration’s first Nuclear Posture Review will be out soon and will likely mirror the changes in Russia’s nuclear posture in some ways.
The probability is skyrocketing of a mass extinction event which could easily block out the sun for years and starve everyone to death who isn’t lucky enough to be killed quickly in the…
