The WHO blames China for Covid-19 while also supporting criminal injections falsely called vaccines?

In February 2021, a World Health Organization (WHO) 4-week mission to China to study the covid plandemic's origins, came to the conclusion that it was unlikely the virus had escaped from the Wuhan viral research laboratory, or from any other Chinese laboratory, for that matter. Now, under pressure from western governments - foremost the US - WHO wants to send another mission to China to further investigate the origins of the virus. The Chinese authorities refused, saying the findings WHO and Chinese scientists arrived last February at were conclusive, and no further investigation was necessary.

It would appear that WHO receives its orders from a diabolical wealthy cult emanating from Wall Street and Washington which still pretends to reign above all 193 UN member nations and above the entire UN system.

China is absolutely right to refuse. It is clear that the West keeps harping on China's fault in this matter since China had to be encircled not only by US / NATO military bases, but also steadily demonized by the west, for anything they can find, since China is the up-and-coming economic power, overshadowing western greed-driven neoliberal exploitation capitalism.

To enhance WHO's position against China and to tarnish China's image in the world arena, the WHO lead scientist dispatched to Wuhan in February 2021, Peter Ben Embarek, told a Danish television documentary, transmitted on August 12, 2021 that the Chinese scientists refused to even discuss the lab leak scenario, unless the final report dismissed any need for further investigation.

Comment: When you understand the who, how, and why of the World Health Organization everything about their actions suddenly becomes clear. They are just another arm of the globalist technocracy.

Taliban tells women to stay home until it can retrain its fighters to deal with them

Afghan women working for the government should stay at home until the Taliban has reimposed security because its fighters are not trained to deal with them, a spokesman for the Islamist group said yesterday.

The Taliban used their second press conference since their takeover of Afghanistan to say they are trying to come up with a procedure to allow women back to the workplace.

Zabiullah Mujahid used the news briefing to continue to push his assurances that the Taliban have changed, despite widespread scepticism and fears the movement's second spell in power will usher in a return to the repression of their 1990s regime.

"We want them to work but we want the security to be right," Mr Mujahid told reporters at the government media centre in Kabul.

"This is a temporary situation in relation to women," he said.

He blamed the movement's fighters currently providing security in the capital, saying they are not trained in "how to deal with women".

Women who work for the government would continue to be paid their salaries while at home, he said.

Mr Mujahid last week said the movement was "committed to letting women work in accordance with the principles of Islam".

Comment: "Deeply concerned" about the situation in the country, "especially for women," the World Bank has suspended disbursements to Afghanistan.

The Taliban needs their rebranding ("Taliban with a human face"?) to stick if they want to acquire any semblance of legitimacy. But as the article suggests, this will depend on the rank-and-file members getting with the new program. No doubt some of the recent reports about women blocked from entering their workplaces, and killings of collaborators (despite the amnesty) result from those who haven't downloaded the latest Taliban policy updates (while others will just be standard rumor-mongering). One question that remains is if the amnesty will apply to those translators and their associates who had already been sentenced to death by the Taliban before the amnesty, e.g.:
The Taliban have sentenced the brother of an Afghan translator to death, according to letters obtained by CNN, accusing him of helping the US and providing security to his brother, who served as an interpreter to American troops. A former service member who worked with the translator confirmed his service and his brother's plight.

The letters are just one example of how the Taliban are directly threatening Afghans who worked with the US or are family members of those who have, leaving them scrambling to flee the country in the wake of the Taliban takeover.

"You have been accused of helping the Americans," the Taliban wrote in the first of three letters to the Afghan man, adding, "You are also accused of providing security to your brother, who has been an interpreter." The first letter from the Taliban, which is hand written, orders the man to appear for a hearing. The second handwritten letter is a notice of his failure to appear for the hearing. In the third letter, which is typed, the Taliban notify the man that because he rejected previous warnings to stop "your servitude to the invading crusaders" and ignored a subpoena to appear for a hearing, he was "guilty in absentia" and will be sentenced to death.

The Taliban delivered the letters within the last three months to the interpreter's brother, according to the former service member who worked with the interpreter. CNN is not identifying the Afghan man, nor his family member, to protect their identities amid the threats they're facing. The letters, which were written in Pashto and translated into English for CNN, have seals that match those of archival Taliban letters. "These court decisions are final and you will not have the right to object," the third letter reads. "You chose this path for yourself and your death is eminent [sic], God willing."

Putin and Xi pledge to keep peace in Central Asia after US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Taliban affirms good relations with the two nations

Russian President Vladimir Putin shakes hands with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their meeting on the sidelines of a BRICS summit, in Brasilia, Brazil.
Moscow and Beijing will work together to secure the region around Afghanistan, after Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese premier Xi Jinping reiterated their commitment to Central Asia in a telephone call on Wednesday.

In a statement published by the Kremlin shortly after the two leaders spoke, officials disclosed that "the problem of Afghanistan was discussed in detail." Both sides reportedly "expressed their readiness to step up efforts to combat the threats of terrorism and drug trafficking emanating from the territory."


Comment: With the US on its way out, and with Russia and China assisting the Taliban in numerous areas from diplomacy to development deals, the CIA will struggle to maintain its drug networks logistically, but also by reducing poverty and increasing opportunities, less Afghans will be forced to work in the drug trade: Afghanistan and the CIA heroin ratline


According to the document, "The importance of establishing peace in this country as soon as possible and preventing the spread of instability to adjacent regions was emphasized." The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the so-called 'alliance of the East,' of which both Russia and China, as well as India and Pakistan, are members, was picked as the optimum format for co-ordinating security efforts.

Despite blossoming ties between Moscow and Ankara, relations now risk being derailed by Turkey's decision to back Ukraine's claims over the status of Crimea, after the country sent its top diplomat to Kiev in a show of support.

That's according to Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, who expressed concern that Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu participated in the 'Crimean Summit' forum on Monday. The meeting was held to discuss how best Ukraine can re-assert control over the peninsula, which was reabsorbed into Russia in 2014.

"Russian-Turkish relations as a whole are about partnership, not only in name, but genuinely based on a real and solid foundation of trade, economic and investment activity," Peskov said. "But this does not mean that this relationship is free from significant disagreements."

China criticises 'anti-science' US intel Covid-19 origins report, suggests investigation into US bioweapons lab Fort Detrick

WHO investigators visited the Wuhan Institute of Virology earlier this year.
China has stepped up its criticism of the United States over an intelligence services report into the origins of Covid-19, insisting it will be used as a political weapon.

In a phone call with Dutch counterpart Sigrid Kaag on Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the report was "bound to serve its own political purposes and seriously interfere with international anti-pandemic cooperation".

He said the US was "anti-science" because it "has ignored and abandoned the research report worked out by WHO experts, and asked its intelligence agencies to come up with a so-called conclusion on origins tracing within a limited time", according to a readout from the Chinese foreign ministry.

Comment: Clearly, the Chinese know more than they're letting on. See also: And for more on the suspect US' biowarfare laboratories, check out SOTT radio's: The Truth Perspective: Interview with Dilyana Gaytandzhieva: Pentagon Biological Warfare And Arms Trafficking to Terrorists

Who does Davos turn to after Biden?

confused Biden
With the collapse of Afghanistan and the clear inability of Joe Biden to handle the situation the clock is winding down quickly on The Davos Crowd to figure out how to keep things from going completely off the rails.

Opposition to mandatory vaccination and the public use of private medical data is rising far quicker than they anticipated. It's exposing the extent of the uselessness of the people installed by them in places of power around the world to effect the Great Reset.

From New Zealand to Canada, France to the White House, Davos thought they could basically pull an Emperor Palpatine and just 'make The Great Reset legal' and it would all work itself out. That is clearly not happening.

The stories coming out of Australia are as deeply disturbing as Biden's bungling the retreat from Afghanistan. It highlights how quickly petty tyrants have turned into inhuman killers of the defenseless, i.e. rescue dogs in Australia.

But, then again, this is the fundamental problem with collectivists of all types. They hate those things they want to protect. The same people criminalize 'animal abuse' then lobby for, fund and create through taxes doggie concentration camps at the local county run shelter.

Life to them is cheap. So cheap that they abstract the value of it to zero in order to justify their lust to rule over others, masking their fear of a hostile and unpredictable world. What's being done to dogs in New South Wales will escalate to unvaxxed humans if this isn't stopped in its tracks.

Refugees from Afghanistan are escorted to a waiting bus after arriving at Dulles international airport in Virginia, US.
Airbnb will help house up to 20,000 Afghan refugees, the company has announced, as part of its Airbnb.org charitable arm.

The company will coordinate with Airbnb hosts who want to offer their homes to refugees for free, or at a discounted rate, with the charitable organisation picking up the rest of the bill, as well as any other operational expenditures. The Airbnb co-founder and chief executive, Brian Chesky, will also fund the effort.

"While we will be paying for these stays, we could not do this without the generosity of our hosts," Chesky said. "If you're willing to host a refugee family, reach out and I'll connect you with the right people here to make it happen.

Russia, China needed for "moderating influence" over Taliban - UK PM Boris Johnson

Britain would have to turn to Russia and China to exercise a "moderating influence" over the Taliban, despite a mistrust between the UK and those governments, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said, reports Reuters.

"We're going to have to bring in countries with a potentially moderating influence like Russia and China, however uncomfortable that is," Raab told The Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

The Taliban seized power last weekend from a US-backed government, sending thousands fleeing and potentially heralding a return to the militants' austere and autocratic rule of two decades ago.


Comment: Not quite. The Taliban have already released a list of their intentions - likely to preemptively refute nonsense like the above - and they include girls in education, women in work and in parliament, guaranteed security for foreign embassies, as well as mutually beneficial development deals with China: Pepe Escobar: How Russia-China are stage-managing the Taliban

Taliban rejects evacuation extension, wants ALL foreign departures finished by August 31 - spokesman

A U.S. Marine provides assistance during an evacuation at Hamid Karzai International Airport, Afghanistan, August 22, 2021.
The Taliban's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has reiterated that the militant group will not accept any extension for foreign evacuations past the August 31 deadline, adding that Afghans are no longer allowed to go to Kabul airport.

Speaking on Tuesday, Mujahid insisted that the Taliban has not and will not grant foreign governments a prolonged window to evacuate their citizens from Afghanistan, and said that all repatriations should be done by the end of the month. The US has the resources and planes to complete the repatriation mission by August 31, he added.


Comment: Indeed, but, somehow, despite having at least 18 months to prepare, most of the foreign militaries managed to botch their evacuation operations.


Foreign embassies should not close or halt their operations in Afghanistan, he continued, saying their security has been assured by the insurgent group.


Comment: The Russian embassy can vouch for that; they say since the Taliban took control the situation is safer than it was before.

Grim conditions in Iran's Evin prison revealed after hackers leak CCTV footage

In this undated frame grab taken from video shared with The Associated Press by a self-identified hacker group called "The Justice of Ali," a guard looks at surveillance screens taken over by the group, at Evin prison in Tehran, Iran. The alleged hackers said the release of the footage was an effort to show the grim conditions at the prison, known for holding political prisoners and those with ties abroad who are often used as bargaining chips in negotiations with the West. The caption on the screens reads in Farsi: "Cyberattack: Evin prison is a stain on (Iranian President Ebrahim) Raisi's black turban and white beard. General protest until the freedom of political prisoners."
The guard in a control room at Iran's notorious Evin prison springs to attention as one by one, monitors in front of him suddenly blink off and display something very different from the surveillance footage he had been watching.

"Cyberattack," the monitors flash. Other guards gather around, holding up their mobile phones and filming, or making urgent calls. "General protest until the freedom of political prisoners" reads another line on the screens.

An online account, purportedly by an entity describing itself as a group of hackers, shared footage of the incident, as well as parts of other surveillance video it seized, with The Associated Press. The alleged hackers said the release of the footage was an effort to show the grim conditions at the prison, known for holding political prisoners and those with ties abroad who are often used as bargaining chips in negotiations with the West.

Comment: Conditions in US prisons are not much better, in fact they are likely even worse; and at least Iran can claim that its country is under siege in the form of Western starvation sanctions, what's the US' excuse? Meanwhile Julian Assange's treatment in Britain's Belmarsh prison has been described as torture by a UN rep. So, whilst it is necessary to highlight Iran's failings, they're not exclusive to Iran. Which leads one to ask: why the hack and why the leak? Who was really behind it?

That the prison is already a target of sanctions, that the supposed hackers appear to be concerned with political prisoners who are also of interest to the West, and that surely Iranian hackers have more pressing grievances against their government, points to Israel and the US as the most obvious suspects. They also just so happen to be amongst the most skilled and equipped for cyberwarfare operations:
