The Humans Are Waking Up! by Caitlin Johnstone

You run into a lot of despair in this line of work. The more you learn about the mechanisms of power, the more hopeless things seem at first glance.

The political system is totally locked down, with anyone who tries to upend the status quo being aggressively sabotaged by the mass media and their own political party.

Technology, which futurists have long heralded as the deus ex machina which will liberate humanity from its self-destructive ways, is owned by plutocrats with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, and is pervasively infiltrated by murderous intelligence agencies from top to bottom.

Even attempts to circulate information about the dangers of war, ecocide and oligarchy are consistently sabotaged by internet censorship, blanket de-platforming and mass media propaganda, and even imprisonment if one’s truth-telling becomes too successful.

Still, I remain unwaveringly hopeful. Not because I foresee any of those massive obstacles vanishing at any time in the near future, but because I see an escape route that none of them are blocking.

«Es hora de desmitificar una época y construir un nuevo mito desde el arroyo hasta las estrellas», escribe James Ellroy en América.
Siempre se puede optar, como han hecho grandes personalidades españolas, por cerrar los ojos ante estos hechos.

Mucha información, no siempre de fácil digestión. Bien escrito, lectura apasionante. Pero me pierdo en los detalles. No sé por qué busco en un libro la noticia sensacional que solo el cotidiano puede darme. Lo que el libro puede ofrecerme es la síntesis, el resumen, el compendio de lo que la prensa diaria ha publicado. Ekaizer consigue reflejar bien lo que se sabe de este tema tan oscuro.
Los jefes de Hacienda padecieron una miopía intensa… Y ya se explica que el yerno Urdangarin quisiera hacer lo mismo. Nadie le explicó que para Hacienda no todos somos iguales. Recomiendo su lectura. Si quieres conocer la verdadera historia sobre la trama del…

Bat virus is 95% Covid-19: Discovery makes natural origin of Pandemic more likely

Scientific Inquirer Posted on September 24, 2021 by scientificinquirer info https://go.nature.com/2XGP7L4

While the origins of SARS-CoV-2 remain undetermined, researchers are inching ever closer to establishing that the virus most likely emerged naturally from bats and was not engineered in a laboratory.

Bats in Laos Caves Harbor Closest Relatives to Covid-19 Virus .Bloomberg

by Nature, “Scientists have found three viruses in bats in Laos that are more similar to SARS-CoV-2 than any known viruses. Researchers say that parts of their genetic code bolster claims that the virus behind COVID-19 has a natural origin — but their discovery also raises fears that there are numerous coronaviruses with the potential to infect people…

(insert: The discovery is an important clue, but of course if Dr Fauci was sponsoring ‘Gain of Function’ experiments in Wuhan to weaponize coronaviruses, as alleged, these Laotian bats might be precisely the best starting point of the project.)

The results, which are not peer reviewed, have been posted on the preprint server Research Square1. Particularly concerning is that the new viruses contain receptor binding domains that are almost identical to that of SARS-CoV-2, and can therefore infect human cells.

Coronaviruses closely related to the pandemic virus also discovered in Japan and Cambodia

The receptor binding domain allows SARS-CoV-2 to attach to a receptor called ACE2 on the surface of human cells to enter them.” The team of international researchers took saliva, faeces and urine samples from 645 bats in caves in northern Laos.

They discovered viruses in horseshoe bats that are each more than 95% identical to SARS-CoV-2, which they named BANAL-52, BANAL-103 and BANAL-236.

Will Brazil Face a Military Coup? US supports Brazil’s March Towards Fascism

Whispers are turning into shouts about a military-backed coup in Brazil before next year, as the ailing Bolsonaro — trailing Lula by 15-20 points in the polls — seeks to hang on to power.

Today, Mier discusses Lula, Bolsonaro and the uncertain future of Brazil.

Brazil, the world’s fifth-largest country, is at a political crossroads. Heading into next year’s presidential elections, the country’s 211 million people are faced with choosing between social democrat and anti-imperialist Lula Da Silva (president between 2003 and 2010) and far-right populist incumbent Jair Bolsonaro.

"The coup is a process: it started with the impeachment in 2016, consolidated with the political imprisonment of Lula in 2018 on frivolous charges, specifically to remove him from the election and enable Jair Bolsonaro, who was losing by 20 points, to win"https://t.co/pbM2p4s3CN

But many are worried they will not even be allowed to elect anyone. Whispers are turning into shouts about a military-backed coup before next year, as the ailing Bolsonaro — trailing Lula by 15-20 points in the polls — seeks to hang on to power.
