Puppet Masters
"Fear is only reverse faith; it is faith in evil instead of good." Florence Scovel Shinn
After several months of the COVID-19 crisis, relevant elements of analysis of this crisis are becoming clearer.
1. The enormous pressure to convince 7 billion people of the need to be vaccinated against a virus [1] whose mortality has been inflated [2] and which is said to be ubiquitous while it is disappearing or has even disappeared.
It reminds us of the 2009 operation, with the fake H1N1 pandemic [3]: same tactics, same complicity (media, political, government), same "experts", same scenarios, same narratives with an emphasis on fear, guilt, haste and always the same stench of this omnipresent money in the form of huge profits on the horizon for the Big Pharma vaccine producing industry.
It is as if the H1N1 episode of 2009 has been used as a rehearsal.
This time, the COVID-19 episode of 2020 is poised to turn the trial into a success?

Defense Minister Benny Gantz with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, threatening just 5 days ago to 'attack Lebanese infrastructure'
A senior defense official told Yisrael Hayom that Gantz issued the order to prepare such a response during meetings on Thursday with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi and other members of the general staff.
Tensions have rapidly escalated between Israel and the terrorist organization since the death of Hezbollah terrorist Ali Kamel Mohsen Jawad, along with two other terrorists, during an airstrike on Damascus International Airport earlier this month.
Hezbollah has vowed revenge for Jawad's death, leading the IDF to move reinforcements to the northern border in preparation for an attack by the Shiite terror organization.
In Thursday's meetings, Kochavi presented the IDF's position on the matter, saying Israel must hold Hezbollah and the Lebanese government responsible for any future attack and its consequences.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Alternate Prime Minister and Defense Minister Benny Gantz hold discussions after IDF thwarts Hezbollah terror cell infiltration along border with Lebanon on July 27, 2020
Any attack from Hezbollah will have a strong response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said hours after the IDF thwarted an attack on northern Israel by the Lebanese terrorist organization.
"Hezbollah has to know it's playing with fire," Netanyahu warned in a statement to the press. "Any attack will be met with great force. [Hezbollah leader Hasan] Nasrallah is greatly mistaken about Israel's determination to defend itself, and Lebanon has paid a heavy price for this mistake."
Comment: Hezbollah had denied Israel's claim that it breached Israel's borders
In a statement the Hezbollah movement has officially denied earlier allegations it made an unsuccessful attempt to "infiltrate" Israel from Lebanon that resulted in border clashes with the IDF, the Tasnim News Agency reported. The group also dismissed reports of them sustaining casualties as a result of Israeli air raids, calling them "absolutely not true".Lebanon in turn highlighted the fact that Israel violates Lebanese borders and airspace on a nearly daily basis:
The exchange of fire was followed by the crash of an Israeli military drone on Lebanese territory on 26 July, which was reportedly caused by a malfunction. The following day, armed clashes happened along the border between the two countries, with Israel reportedly shelling the settlement of Kfarchouba in the country's south. On the same day, the IDF claimed that it thwarted an "infiltration attempt by a Hezbollah terror squad" without sustaining casualties. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in turn, warned Lebanon against "playing with fire" on the border.
"Yesterday, Israel violated the sovereignty of Lebanon one more time and breached the UN Resolution 1701, by carrying out dangerous military escalation", Diad said, addressing to the country's Supreme Defence Council.
The prime minister also warned that the relations between the two countries may "deteriorate in light of the severe tensions on our borders.
"The government will file a complaint with the Security Council tomorrow to hold [Israel] and the international community accountable for what happened yesterday, as there is a clear [act of] aggression", Hitti said in a statement to media following the cabinet session. "We adhere to the UN Resolution 1701 [issued by the UNSC in 2006] and Lebanon's right to protect itself".
The announcement is taking place after the incident occurred on Monday on the Israeli-Lebanese border in the vicinity of the disputed lands of Shebaa farms, with explosions and exchanges of gunfire being heard.
Cars, buses, trains and aeroplanes could also be destroyed subject to the approval of magistrates.
Boris Johnson remains determined to avoid a second nationwide lockdown and has given a broad range of powers to local councils to contain outbreaks as soon as they are detected.
Councils will be able to draw on six separate Acts of Parliament to impose lightning closures of public buildings, order mass testing, ban events or shut down whole sectors of the economy.
Comment: The British govt is apparently REALLY serious about 'resetting the economy'.
The new guidelines would urge those who work in Stuttgart City Hall to forgo gender-identifying titles such as "Mr." when addressing colleagues. The new rules also stipulate that in written communications, "Dear Sir or Madame" should be replaced with "Dear people."
As a general rule, terms that use gender "clichés" should be avoided, Kuhn, a member of the Greens, decreed.
His decree comes amid a wave of politically correct posturing in the United States and Europe, but it appears that other politicians in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg thought the mayor had gone too far.

Keen observers of the ins and outs of Silicon Valley's complicated relationship with freedom of expression may remember that last month a host of big corporations, including Disney, Ford and Adidas, pulled their adverts from the site in the biggest boycott ever of its kind.
This was sparked by a campaign called Stop Hate for Profit set up by several US civil rights groups in the wake of George Floyd's killing. The group accuses Facebook of "profiteering from hate and misinformation" and has branded their policy on hate speech "vexing." Now, as the month-long July boycott is due to end, some of Facebook's own employees have urged companies to keep the pressure on their employer. Yes, Facebook's own employees want the company to make less money to make themselves feel better.
Yes, he does. And so does the rest of the Democratic Party.
If you understand the Democrats as a party whose first priority is to win elections and then serve their voters once in office, then you have to look for far-fetched explanations for their actions, which often appear to be completely at odds with those objectives. What party eager to win over the middle of the country would repeatedly vote to make a wealthy San Francisco doyenne like Nancy Pelosi their Speaker? She's a walking advertisement for the image of Democrats as a party of out of touch elites, more concerned with arcane speech codes than labor laws. But if you understand the Democrats as a party primarily concerned with raking in big bucks from wealthy donors, while drawing enough superficial distinctions with their opponents to maintain their identity as a separate party, then everything they do is pretty frikkin' brilliant. Like forcing Joe Biden on their voters.
Comment: Like horse races, elections are on a narrow and circular track. It doesn't matter if you are Trojan or Trump. The finish line may be the decider, but the quality of the race also matters.
Trump's order, signed on Monday, requires federal agencies to prioritize US citizens and Green Card holders before outsourcing labor to foreign workers - who can come to the US on H-1B visas. Use of these visas is common in the tech sector, and 180,000 of them were issued last year, according to State Department statistics. Government agencies will now be required to conduct an internal audit to make sure "only United States citizens and nationals are appointed to the competitive service," per a White House statement.
Furthermore, Trump announced the firing of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) chairman James Thompson and another board member, after it emerged that the federally-owned utilities company plans on replacing more than 200 American tech workers with foreign contractors on H-1B visas. Trump also slammed TVA CEO Jeff Lyash for taking an annual salary of $8 million amid the outsourcing push.
"Let this serve as a warning to any federally-appointed board. If you betray American workers then you will hear two simple words: 'You're fired,'" Trump said, after signing the order, in a throwback to his 'Apprentice' catchphrase.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at the 11th Democratic primary debate hosted by CNN in Washington, DC.
A New York Times opinion piece on Monday suggested that presidential debates should be scrapped altogether because they've "never made sense as a test for presidential leadership."
We didn't need the debates to tell us that Trump had chosen to be the P.T. Barnum of American politics. For him, it was (and still is) all about the show, about distracting the public from reality.CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart, formerly press secretary for President Bill Clinton, wrote last week that it would be "a fool's errand to enter the ring with someone who can't follow the rules or tell the truth."
Newsweek noted on Saturday that supporters are urging Biden to avoid the debates for various reasons, such as:Biden will undoubtedly take heat from Republicans and the media for skipping the debates. But it's worth the risk as trying to debate someone incapable of telling the truth is an impossible contest to win.
"Trump is not a legitimate candidate" and debates are "outdated political rituals."
Comment: Five years ago there wasn't a chance in hell we might think this sort of 'wool over the eyes of the public' argument would stand a chance. And yet, here it is and the outcome is...uncomfortably uncertain.
Trump has frequently criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci's public comments on the government's pandemic response but this is the first time he publicly criticized Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator.
"So Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Birx, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China Virus, including Vaccines & Therapeutics," the president tweeted. "In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!"
