War spending is a tax on working people who just want to live in peace, Roger Waters tells RT

The former Pink Floyd frontman spoke to RT's Going Underground on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the 1973 US-backed coup in Chile, which led the right-wing dictator Augusto Pinochet to power.

The 9/11 terrorist attacks could have been a wake-up call for the US and the world to reassess priorities, but instead it fueled extremism and helped funnel public resources into the coffers of war profiteers, Waters told presenter Afshin Rattansi.

The US response to the terrorist attacks "empowered extremism on all levels of all factions, not just jihadists from the Middle East and elsewhere," he added.
All of us have been encouraged to spend more and more energy on destroying each other and the world rather than using our energy to solve the evident problems.

The US' 'anti-terror' tools that failed in Afghanistan are being keenly used on activists at home... as the 1/6 witch-hunt shows

Stung by its rout in Afghanistan, the US is doubling down on efforts to punish homegrown dissidents. But while the post-January 6 crackdown brought it into the public eye, the domestic 'war on terror' has been underway for years.

As the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks looms this weekend, the Department of Homeland Security wants to make sure you're afraid - very afraid. Americans, it warned last month, are facing an enemy so drunk on mind-warping conspiracy theories that even the most sophisticated surveillance apparatus in the world can't stop them.

Subtlety has never been the strong point of the country's ever-multiplying intelligence agencies and, for the 9/11 anniversary, the government is pulling out the stops for an orgy of fear not seen since the event itself. The recent DHS bulletin warned the surrounding weeks would be marked by a "heightened threat environment" - at least until Veterans Day, when a new excuse will likely be rolled out to be very afraid. It even dredged up al-Qaeda themselves, declaring the terror group had released its first English-language magazine in four whole years, apparently believing American dissidents would be inspired by their country turning tail and fleeing from Kabul.

The latest politician to compare government vaccination efforts to Nazi Germany is Josh Mandel, a Jewish Republican candidate for US Senate in Ohio.

In a video Thursday protesting President Joe Biden's upcoming requirement that a large portion of private sector employees either get vaccinated against COVID or get tested weekly, Mandel instructed his social media viewers not to comply with the requirement. In doing so, he compared Biden to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police force that played a major role in carrying out the Holocaust.

"I call on my fellow Americans: Do not comply," he said. "Do not comply with the tyranny, and when the Gestapo show up at your front door, you know what to do."

Comment: Mandel further did not back down from his comments after the ADL also criticized him for his statement. The ADL tweeted that he "needed to apologize," but that did not dissuade Mandel who tweeted right back at the ADL:

Economic war to begin in US as Portland calls to impose sanctions against Texas

The famous U.S. sanction strategy in the foreign policy now is used in the state's internal issues.

The controversial Texas law, that bans abortions as early as six weeks is now in effect. It was signed into law back in May by Gov. Greg Abbott. It was widely criticized not only by women's rights advocates, abortion activists and abortion providers, but also by other states' officials. Thus, the Portland City Council is going to consider to adopt an emergency resolution next week that will be aimed to ban goods and services from Texas, because of the new abortion law there. The council will take up the emergency resolution on September 8.

On September 3, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler claimed the intent "to ban the city's future procurement of goods and services from, and city employee business travel to, the state of Texas." It should be in effect until Texas "withdraws it unconstitutional ban on abortion or until it is overturned in court."

Comment: What's even worse is the likelihood that the Federal Government will implement retaliatory sanctions of its own against conservative-leaning states like Texas, Florida, etc. - in order to squash any thought or policy that doesn't fall into line with the current death-dealing madness being shat out of Washington.

gunman NYC pretends work car
Police were reportedly investigating whether the suspect was disguised as a Hasidic man.

The NYPD released grisly surveillance video on Thursday that shows a suspect pretending to work on his car on a Queens street before ambushing a man and killing him with multiple shots to the head.

The victim, 46-year-old Jermaine Dixon, walked across the street on Monday morning and opened the driver's side door of an SUV when the suspect started running toward him.

Seconds later, the gunman fired multiple shots at Dixon from close range. Dixon was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Comment: That was certainly no random act of violence - that looked like a hit. One wonders what Dixon was involved in.

Ukraine has just become the latest country to legalise the use of Botcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Ukraine's parliament has adopted a new law that legalises and regulates cryptocurrency and other virtual assets like tokens.

The bill was passed in a near-unanimous vote on Wednesday and will now need to be signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine is the fifth country in as many weeks to set up ground rules for digital currencies following El Salvador's move to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.

Scientist behind AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine says booster shots may be unnecessary

Oxford University Professor Sarah Gilbert said the standard two-dose regimen is providing lasting protection for most people

She said the world's priority should be to get more vaccines to countries that have received limited supplies

Booster shots to extend the protection of Covid-19 vaccines may be unnecessary for many people, a leading scientist behind the AstraZeneca vaccine said on Friday.

Oxford University Professor Sarah Gilbert told The Telegraph newspaper that immunity from the vaccine was holding up well - even against the Delta variant. While the elderly and those who are immune-compromised may need boosters, the standard two-dose regimen is providing lasting protection for most people, she said.
"We will look at each situation; the immunocompromised and elderly will receive boosters,'' she said. "But I don't think we need to boost everybody. Immunity is lasting well in the majority of people."
The comments come as the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, a panel of experts that advises the British government, is expected to make recommendations in the coming days on the scale of any booster programme.

Comment: The madness continues. It won't stop even when 70-80% of the population will receive two doses as they say. There is another booster shot. And then, maybe there will be another one, who knows, the corrupted quasi scientists and evil masters of this world will decide.

Despite all the data pointing out that the Covid vaccines are far more dangerous than the virus, the PTB continues with this monstrous project to enslave humanity.

Giving dangerous experimental injections as booster shots to immunocompromised patients, including people fighting cancer or those who have received an organ transplant. is probably nothing less than a premeditated homicide.

Countries that have already introduced booster shots are having much higher numbers of Covid infections and hospitalizations.

Left doesn't just want to censor you on social media. It also wants to close your bank accounts.

When White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that people who spread "misinformation" "shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others," she revealed the left's chilling plan for censoring content that goes against the left's narrative.

It is becoming increasingly clear that political leaders on the left and Big Tech are joining arms to not just deplatform dissident voices from social media, but to bar them from the digital space entirely, including from having the ability to make and receive payments online.

In the latest example, Chase Bank reportedly planned to close the credit card account of former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Sept. 18, stating that "continuing the relationship creates possible reputational risk to our company." While as of Aug. 31, a Chase spokesperson said that they had "made an error and apologized for any inconvenience caused," the initial gesture can't be ignored.

This comes just a couple months after Wells Fargo made the "business decision" to close 2020 Republican Delaware Senate candidate Lauren Witzke's account. Two of the more prominent digital payment services, PayPal and Stripe, have also become active cancel culture participants.

Entrance of the Gaithersburg Campus of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
As part of our season marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 "terrorist attacks", OffG is going to be highlighting some of the research papers and scientific studies done over the years.

These studies have been key in pointing out logical flaws and impossible physics used to support the official narrative.

Our first paper is "Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction", which was first published in 2008.

Authored by five key names in the 9/11 truth movement, Steve Jones, Frank Legge, Kevin Ryan, Anthony Szamboti and James Gourley, this paper collates all the statements from both FEMA and NIST that actually agree with the so-called "conspiracy theorists", and highlights the holes in the official story. Holes that the government experts admit exist.

We'll post the 14 points summarised, and then embed the whole paper below.

Massive fire breaks out on the roof of New York City hospital

Dramatic photos shared on social media showed the thick black smoke on Friday afternoon
A New York City hospital was ablaze on Friday, with two people reported injured as firefighters battled the rooftop flames and huge black plumes of smoke billowed into the sky.

The two-alarm fire was reported at the 257-bed St. John's Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway, Queens at 5:15pm, a New York Fire Department spokesman told DailyMail.com.

Twenty five units were responding, with 106 fire fighters and other first responders on the scene.

Two civilians have been injured, he said, but the extent of their injuries are unclear. He did not know if the entire hospital has been evacuated.

Comment: This is just the latest in a long list of fires and explosions to occur in recent months. Whilst the causes are unlikely to be the same in every case, with human error and shoddy construction to amongst them, the sheer number of incidents, at factories, at hospitals, and involving oxygen tanks and gas, does rouse one's curiosity: See also: SOTT Exclusive: The growing threat of underground fires and explosions
