Best of the Web: NATO's 2030 vision: Global domination or bust

It's like something out of a comic book.
Speaking from his billion-dollar headquarter fortress, the Overlord of the dreaded military alliance, S.N.A.K.E. (Supreme Nasty Alliance for Killing Everyone) delivered his starkest threat yet, declaring a "S.N.A.K.E. 2030" vision that would see the organization ruling supreme over the planet in the next 10 years. "All challengers will be destroyed!" he brayed over the video uplink as the world cowered in terror.
If this were a comic book story, this is the point where the valiant fighters of the F.R.E.E.D.O.M. Alliance would swoop in and capture the Overlord, defeating his robot army in the process.

Sadly, this is not a comic book story, it's a very real one; and we're not dealing with S.N.A.K.E. but NATO, a very non-fictional military alliance that has just put forward its vision for NATO 2030 — a vision that threatens to realize NATO's quest for total global domination.

So let's roll up our sleeves and go over the details, shall we?

Best of the Web: Covid-19 was in Spanish sewage as early as MARCH 2019, study finds

Spanish virologists have found traces of the novel coronavirus in a sample of Barcelona waste water collected in March 2019, nine months before the COVID-19 disease was identified in China, the University of Barcelona said on Friday.

The discovery of virus genome presence so early in Spain, if confirmed, would imply the disease may have appeared much earlier than the scientific community thought.

The University of Barcelona team, who had been testing waste water since mid-April this year to identify potential new outbreaks, decided to also run tests on older samples.

They first found the virus was present in Barcelona on Jan. 15, 2020, 41 days before the first case was officially reported there.

Best of the Web: Behind the veil of the protest movement, the war on the American people is gaining pace

taking statue down
"This is not a momentary civil disturbance. This is a serious, and highly organized political movement...It is deep and profound and has vast political ambitions. It is insidious, it will grow. It's goal is to end liberal democracy and challenge western civilization itself. This is an ideological movement... Even now, many of us pretend this is about police brutality. ...We think we can fix it by regulating chokeholds or spending more on de-escalation training. We're too literal and good-hearted to understand what's happening. ...But we have no idea what we are up against. ..These are not protests. This is a totalitarian political movement and someone needs to save the country from it." Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson is right, the protests and riots are not a momentary civil disturbance. They are an attack the Constitutional Republic itself, the heart and soul of American democracy. The Black Lives Matter protests are just the tip of the spear, they are an expression of public outrage that is guaranteed under the first amendment. But don't be deceived, there's more here than meets the eye. BLM is funded by foundations that seek to overthrow our present form of government and install an authoritarian regime guided by technocrats, oligarchs and corporatists all of who believe that Chinese-type despotism is far-more compatible with capitalism than "inefficient" democracy. The chaos in the streets is merely the beginning of an excruciating transition from one system to another. This is an excerpt from an article by F. William Engdahl at Global Research:
"By 2016,... Black Lives Matter had established itself as a well-organized network..... That year the Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund (BLMF), "a six-year pooled donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition" in which BLM was a central part. By then Soros foundations had already given some $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement....

The BLMF identified itself as being created by top foundations including in addition to the Ford Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation and the Soros Open Society Foundations." ("America's Own Color Revolution", Global Research)

Best of the Web: The co-opting of activism by the state

Dustin Broadbery

coopting protests
It is well documented that members of the police and intelligence communities have been infiltrating activist groups since the sixties. With covert spymasters rising in the ranks to hold influential leadership positions, guiding policy and strategy, and in some cases, radicalising those movements from within, in order to damage their reputation and weaken public support.

A judge-led public enquiry in the UK revealed at least 144 undercover police operations had infiltrated and spied on more than 1,000 political groups in long term deployments since 1968.

These days, rather than using coercion to suppress sedition, there is a body of evidence to suggest the state has devised more nefarious methods for countering subversion. Involving the co-opting of grassroots movements, in its bid to transform the unbridled ideals of activism into genuflections of corporate and political interest.

Indeed, the denaturing of our social movements has engendered a culture of advocacy whereby it is no longer forged in the backyard of community and instead through a series of state sponsored global debates, on authorised issues only, such as climate change.

The environmental movement, not to be confused with the ecological movement, appeals to our god-complex, and fantasises that our species holds dominion over nature, that our actions could somehow compromise the planet's homeostasis.

Best of the Web: Girlfriend of British man who flew 'white lives matter' banner is fired because she refused 'insensitivity re-education'

The girlfriend of the man who flew a "white lives matter" banner over a football match in the UK has been fired from her job after refusing to take "intensive racial sensitivity training."

The banner was seen trailing behind a plane over Manchester City's Etihad stadium on Monday before the club's Premier League game with Burnley. It provoked widespread condemnation and a police investigation, although authorities subsequently concluded that no criminal offense had been committed.

The person responsible for the banner, Burnley fan Jamie Hepple, faced a social media witch hunt although he responded with a Facebook post that said, "I'd like to take this time to apologise... TO ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOBODY!"

However, after a Twitter mob discovered the employment details of his girlfriend Megan, she was fired by Solace Foot Health and Reflexology simply for being guilty by association.

A statement released by the company said they were "willing to try to help Megan by paying for Intensive Racial Sensitivity training" but that Megan had evidently refused to be re-educated and would rather leave, meaning she was effectively fired for being the boyfriend [sic 'girlfriend'] of a man who thinks "white lives matter."

Comment: Someone has re-started a race war. It just looks a bit different than those in the past. Wrongful dismissals for insane reasons need legal investigations and redress before this becomes the trend.

Do you know what your virome is? A normal human virome is full of viruses, even ‘scary’ ones like HIV & hepatitis. It’s time to dispel the myth of a killer virus and learn the truth about the humble virus.
Do you know what your virome is? A normal human virome is full of viruses, even 'scary' ones like HIV & hepatitis. It's time to dispel the myth of a killer virus and learn the truth about the humble virus.

Did you know the normal human virome contains a multitude of different viruses, including many strains of coronavirus? And did you know that some of these viruses sound scary - the type people normally associate with disease - even though the person carrying them may be completely healthy and/or asymptomatic? As discussed in previous articles, the word virome (similar to the word microbiome for bacteria) refers to the community of viruses that naturally and usually live within us. Far from causing harm, they form a vital part of our bodies and immune system, existing in symbiosis with us and playing an important role in our healing response. The COVID coronavirus event has exploited people's ignorance over the nature of the virus and the nature of disease. This is an opportunity for us to educate ourselves, to come out of fear, to understand the base assumptions and deceptions behind the COVID propaganda, and to be prepared when the New World Order (NWO) controllers try to pull their next trick in Operation Coronavirus, the 2nd wave.

Best of the Web: Trump interview with The Federalist in late May: 'The military-industrial complex is unbelievably powerful. You have no idea...'

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 20:03 UTC

Comment: Unsurprisingly, this set of statements from the most powerful person in the world during an Oval Office interview in late May got precisely zero media coverage when they were finally published on June 8th. After The Federalist, we are apparently the only outlet to even acknowledge that it took place...


trump white house
President Donald Trump blasted former Defense Secretary James Mattis as "terrible," criticized the power of the "military-industrial complex," and defended his decision to draw down America's military presence in Syria following the United States' successful destruction of the Islamic State there.

Trump's comments about Mattis came before Mattis published a statement attacking Trump and falsely claiming the military had never been used to support law enforcement in responding to violent riots. Trump said opposition from establishment figures like Mattis wasn't driven by personality or tactical disagreements but by entirely different worldviews.

The president was critical of Mattis' failure to achieve victory in Afghanistan and remove troops there after fighting since 2001. "Look, we've been there for 19 years - Mattis was terrible, you know, not very good," Trump told The Federalist during an interview in the Oval Office in late May.

Flashback Best of the Web: Financial juggernaut BlackRock takes command

pig cartoon bankers silence
The mainstream financial press has been remarkably quiet about the Federal Reserve's appointment (March 24) of BlackRock to manage its massive corporate debt purchase program in response to the Covid-19 crisis. That silence might have a simple explanation: you don't slag your boss if you know what's good for you.

BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink may now be the most powerful man in the world, overseeing not just the Fed's new (potentially $4.5 trillion) corporate slush-fund, but also managing $27 trillion of the global economy (even before the March appointment). As the world's largest asset manager, BlackRock already was managing $7 trillion for its global corporate investor-clients, along with another $20 trillion for clients through its financial risk-monitoring software (called Aladdin).

As Andrew Gavin Marshall has explained, "Unlike a bank, asset management firms do not manage and invest their own money but do so on behalf of their many clients. In the case of BlackRock, those clients come in the form of banks, corporations, insurance companies, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, central banks, and foundations." [1]

Face masks must be worn in the UK on public transport (to begin with) by order of the State. We will explore the reasons why people might comply or resist this diktat. What reasons are there to wear a face mask, do they make sense and what does our compliance or resistance say about us?

The State Is A State Of Mind

The State is a belief system. It is a faith, rather like a religion. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with faith. It doesn't necessarily mean the belief itself is "wrong." Faith can be a powerful force for good. It all depend upon what the belief is.

If your faith dictates that you treat all with love, compassion and respect then your belief is "right." If you live in accordance with your faith then you are living in the truth, regardless of which deity you follow.

However, if your faith teaches you that you are better than "non believers," that yours in the only true way and that those who don't follow your beliefs, or your deity, deserve to be punished, you are "wrong." You are not living in harmony with the truth.

People who believe in the State are called statists. Those who don't, broadly come under the umbrella term anarchists. For statists, the anarchist is despised. Life without their State is unimaginable, therefore those who wish to live without it must be evil. The anarchist has long been reviled by statists as the dangerous subversive.

Best of the Web: Gov't advisor: Britons were 'terrorised' by the government's tough coronavirus message and 'lost sight' of the fact most people only have mild illness

Boris Johnson's hardline coronavirus lockdown message has 'effectively terrorised' the UK population into believing they will die if they catch coronavirus, one of the government's experts has said.

Professor Robert Dingwall suggested Britain had 'completely lost sight' of the true nature of the disease because 'mostly it isn't' killing people.

His comments illustrate the potential problems facing the Prime Minister as he prepares to set out his lockdown exit plan in an address to the nation on Sunday night.

Polling published yesterday showed almost two thirds of the population are worried about the effects of lifting the draconian curbs too early.
