The horrifying rise of total mass media blackouts on inconvenient news stories

mainstream news
Two different media watchdog outlets, Media Lens and Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR), have published articles on the complete blackout in mainstream news institutions on the revelation by Icelandic newspaper Stundin that a US superseding indictment in the case against Julian Assange was based on false testimony from diagnosed sociopath and convicted child molester Sigurdur Thordarson.

FAIR's Alan MacLeod writes that "as of Friday, July 2, there has been literally zero coverage of it in corporate media; not one word in the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NBC News, Fox News or NPR."

"A search online for either 'Assange' or 'Thordarson' will elicit zero relevant articles from establishment sources, either US or elsewhere in the Anglosphere, even in tech-focused platforms like the Verge, Wired or Gizmodo," MacLeod adds.

3 injured as 14 rockets rain down on US base in Iraq

The military facility, located north of the capital Baghdad, is the only base in the country still hosting troops of the international coalition fighting against terrorists.

At least 14 rockets were fired against the Ain Al-Asad base on Wednesday, injuring three people, the US-led coalition said.

This is not the first attack against the compound this year: back in May, it was targeted by a drone attack, but neither US nor coalition troops stationed at the base were injured. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.

A man has been filmed jumping from rooftop to rooftop in Los Angeles after reportedly setting fire to a church cross.

The Los Angeles fire and police departments responded after a shirtless man with no shoes was seen attempting to light a cross on fire at the top of the St. Mary's Catholic Church at 407 South Chicago Street in Boyle Heights on Wednesday evening.

The man climbed up scaffolding to get to the bell tower before apparently causing a small fire at the top of the building, which is more than 130 feet tall.

"Many of the jobs that have been lost during this pandemic crisis will not be recovered," OECD's jobs and income head Stephane Carcillo said.
Around 22 million jobs were lost in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic across the 37 member countries that are part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the group said in its annual employment outlook report.

Of the 22 million jobs lost in 2020 across the OECD, 8 million are workers who are considered unemployed and 14 million are "not actively looking for a job."

"Many of the jobs that have been lost during this pandemic crisis will not be recovered," Stephane Carcillo, head of the OECD's jobs and income division, said Wednesday at a virtual briefing on the data.

VICE News was supplied with a secret report from Advance Democracy put out a "hit piece" against me specifically but named other Grand Solar Minimum resource channels that need to be removed and censored from the internet as well as Patreon. Here is my response and corrections to errors in the VICE News article. First question to keep in mind, is why does a news organization call for censorship ?

The producer has published a video refuted VICE's misinformation. (includes sponsor ads)

Defendant speaks out against Ohio judge requiring shots for probation

"Get out of Jail" • Take the Jab
Last week, I wrote about Ohio state Judge Richard Frye requiring defendants to take experimental coronavirus vaccine shots as a condition for probation, with probation being the means by which defendants can avoid being sent to prison. Frye had insisted that none of the people he had ordered to take the shots had expressed any philosophical, medical, or religious objection. He said his imposition of the probation requirement was just intended to help the defendants overcome their "procrastination" regarding taking the shots.

Here is an update. An interview with one of the defendants ordered by Frye to take the shots backs my argument in my article that the judge's imposing of the probation condition is in practice the exercise of government force to make the defendants take the shots.

I wrote that many defendants who have made up their minds not to take the experimental coronavirus vaccine shots, some of which are not even vaccines under the normal meaning of the term, would keep quiet about their objections and even say "thank you sir" to the judge when the judge pushes the probation condition. Defendants in such a situation will likely fear of the repercussions of countering the judge who holds the power to punish the defendants, harshen their probation conditions, or even send them to prison if they don't just acquiesce.

Horror story: Surgeon who operated on young Italian vaccine victim: 'You have never seen anything like this'

AstraZeneca victim Camilla Canepa
Camilla Canepa was operated on by Gianluigi Zona, director of the neurosurgical and neuro-traumatological clinic of the San Martino hospital:
"I had never seen a brain that was affected by such an extensive and severe thrombosis."
The neurosurgeon on duty in San Martino that night was Alessandro d'Andrea, who also called the chief physician to his side at the operating table.
"We decided to have a decompression craniotomy, in which the skull is opened to relieve internal pressure."
Zona recounted the experience:
"All venous sinuses were blocked with thrombi, a scenario I have never seen in my many years in this profession. Think of the venous sinus as the river in the middle of a valley where several streams converge. If a dam is built in the middle of the watercourse, the river swells and the tributaries can no longer drain at this point, so that the pressure rises upstream.

"I'm neither a virologist, nor an epidemiologist, nor a coroner, but given the image I saw in the girl's head, it is clear that we are dealing with something that is not normal."

Germany has registered more than 3,800 symptomatic Covid-19 cases among people that were fully vaccinated against the disease since February, the nation's disease control and prevention agency, the Robert Koch Institute, said.

A total of 3,806 Germans developed symptoms of Covid-19 at least two weeks after getting fully vaccinated against the virus between February 1 and July 7, 2021, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said in its latest status report published late on Wednesday.

Another 4,110 people also contracted the virus after full vaccination but had asymptomatic cases over the same period, the agency said. More than 270 people - mostly elderly - had to be hospitalized with Covid-19 despite getting all the necessary vaccine doses.

Google is facing more antitrust trouble.
The web giant calls the suit "meritless."

A group of state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against Google on Wednesday, alleging the company's Play store for Android apps violates antitrust laws.

The suit focuses on the 30% fee Google charges developers for selling digital goods and services via the Play store. As of July 1, that fee dropped to 15% until developers hit $1 million in revenue for the year. The new lawsuit, reported earlier by Politico, mirrors one filed last year against Google by Epic Games, developer of the popular battle royale game Fortnite.

Not playing well in Utah: Black Lives Matter draws backlash for post calling American flag 'symbol of hatred'

American flag
A post by Black Lives Matter Utah on the Fourth of July called the American flag a "symbol of hatred," drawing strong reactions from conservatives on social media by several state Republicans.

"When we Black Americans see this flag we know the person flying it is not safe to be around. When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist," the post read.

"When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred," it continued.
