SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Israel Attacks Iran, Seeks Regime Change. Will Trump Take US Into War?

© Sott.net
Israel's brazen attack against Iran on June 13th could result in the culmination of the NeoCons' plan for the 'New American Century': the toppling of the last regime resisting them in the Middle East. The US and Israel would thus fully control the world's primary 'energy spigot' and cement their joint role as global hegemon(s) for decades to come.

Israel intends for this 'short war' to last a couple of weeks, after which Iran will be ruled by a new government with a new ideology, having submitted to US-raeli domination.

Wishful thinking?

Well, it depends on what capabilities Iran has to withstand Israel's onslaught, whether its population is psychologically committed to resisting, and whether the US will have to directly intervene to fully realize Netanyahu's dream of deposing the Ayatollah and defeating Iran's military.

If the latter comes about, Trump will have shot MAGA - and his devoted followers, who are extremely hostile about the US engaging in another major Middle East war - through the heart. He isn't so psychopathic and stupid, is he?

SOTT Focus: Health Secretary Kennedy: "I've Fired The Entire Vaccine Approval Board"

rfk kennedy
"Look at me. I'm in charge of vaccines now."
We're reconstituting an advisory committee to avoid conflicts of interest.

Vaccines have become a divisive issue in American politics, but there is one thing all parties can agree on: The U.S. faces a crisis of public trust. Whether toward health agencies, pharmaceutical companies or vaccines themselves, public confidence is waning.

Some would try to explain this away by blaming misinformation or antiscience attitudes. To do so, however, ignores a history of conflicts of interest, persecution of dissidents, a lack of curiosity, and skewed science that has plagued the vaccine regulatory apparatus for decades.

Comment: RFK Jr further justified his bold move on X:
Yesterday, I retired 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or ACIP, the @CDCgov external panel that wields the grave responsibility of adding new vaccines to the recommended childhood schedule. Over the coming days, I will use this platform to announce new members to populate ACIP. None of these individuals will be ideological anti-vaxxers. They will be highly credentialed physicians and scientists who will make extremely consequential public health determinations by applying evidence-based decision-making with objectivity and common sense.

I will also be tweeting examples of the historical corruption at ACIP to help the public understand why this clean sweep was necessary.

The most outrageous example of ACIP's malevolent malpractice has been its stubborn unwillingness to demand adequate safety trials before recommending new vaccines for our children. Today, a compliant American child receives between 69 and 92 routine vaccines (depending on brand/dictated dosage) from conception to 18 years of age. This is up from 11 shots in 1986. ACIP has recommended each of these additional jabs without requiring placebo-controlled trials for any of them. This means that no one can scientifically ascertain whether these products are averting more problems than they are causing.

Many vaccine promoters have challenged this assertion. They are always wrong. Last week, @CNN, which has devolved into a shameless propagandist for Big Pharma, triumphantly announced that it had proof that my pronouncement that "there have been no placebo-controlled safety trials for any routine vaccines" was false. CNN gleefully proclaimed that it had found 257 placebo-controlled studies for routine vaccines.

So, allow me a moment to deconstruct CNN's claims. Warning: this post may only be sufferable for science geeks like myself.

CNN is wrong. No routine injected vaccine on CDC's schedule was licensed for children based on a placebo-controlled trial. In instances where a vaccine was used as a control, it too was never licensed based on a placebo-controlled trial. That is not conjecture. It is a fact based on FDA's clinical trial data. (See http://sirillp.com/noplacebo). As Secretary of @HHSGov, acknowledging this lamentable truth is part of my promise of radical transparency.

The 257 studies cited by CNN unwittingly reflect the lack of safety trials underpinning CDC's schedule. Despite CNN's worldwide effort to crowdsource trials with a placebo control (per @US_FDA/@CDCgov, an "inert substance"*), this list, on its face, reflects that 236 of the studies clearly did not use an "inert" safety comparator in a trial to license an injected routine vaccine for children on CDC's schedule.**

For the remaining 21 studies CNN's list claims used an inert injection, 9 plainly did not:

- RCT 251, 252 (Varivax) injected an antibiotic, neomycin - not inert.
- RCT 84, 97 (HPV-16 and 16/18) injected aluminum adjuvant - not inert.
- RCT 215 (Almevax) injected another vaccine - not inert.
- RCT 55 (Lyophilized PedvaxHIB) injected lactose, aluminum adjuvant, and thimerosal - not inert.
- RCT 197 (Salk vaccine) injected 199 solution, synthetic tissue culture, ethanol, phenol red, antibiotics, and formalin - not inert.***
- RCT 168 (Dow's MMR) injected full vaccine minus virus, including all stabilizers, antibiotics, diluent, preservative, and buffers - not inert.****
- RCT 189 (Menveo) injected Tdap+saline or Menveo+saline - not inert.

For the remaining 12 listed studies which may have had an inert injection, none was a trial relied upon to license a routine vaccine on CDC's childhood schedule:

- RCT 170, 171, 172 (MMR VaxPro), 228 (PCV11), 136 (Vaxigrip), 242 (Antitetanus), and 122 (Chinese flu shots) trialed vaccines never licensed in the U.S. nor relied upon to license a U.S. vaccine.
- RCT 124 (Fluzone IIV3), 102 (WVV/SPV), and 188 (Menveo) trials occurred after each respective vaccine was licensed, hence were not relied upon for their licensure.
- RCT 176 (Mumps vaccine) was not relied upon by the FDA to license the current MMR vaccine. (See MMR-II clinical trial report in link above.)
- RCT 53 (PRP-D) was for a vaccine withdrawn soon after its introduction and not relied upon by the FDA to license any U.S. vaccine.

While these 12 studies were not relied upon to license a routine vaccine on the CDC's schedule, they do reflect that a placebo-controlled trial of a vaccine is possible. They also reflect what can be learned when a placebo trial is performed. For example: RCT 136 found the vaccine ineffective; RCT 122 found that "severe adverse effects occurred in 69 (0ยท6%, 95% CI 0ยท5-0ยท8) recipients of vaccine compared with one recipient (0ยท1%, 0-0ยท2) of placebo."; and RCT 124 found "the rate of hospitalization was actually higher in the [Fluzone IIV3] vaccine group than in the placebo group."

The unfortunate reality is that placebo-controlled trials, however, do not occur and have not been relied upon when FDA licenses vaccines for injection during childhood or ACIP recommends the shot for addition to the CDC's routine schedule.

CNN would have reached the same conclusion had it reviewed the FDA documentation for each vaccine, instead of relying upon a random, crowd-sourced list from the internet. CNN's list ironically proves the lack of adequate safety trials for routine childhood vaccines.

It is time to stop playing games, such as CNN's false gotcha. We have gone from 3 routine injections by age one in 1986 (the year the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act passed) to 25 routine injections by age one in 2025 (which now does not include Covid-19 vaccine). Because of the 1986 Act, every one of these products, save one, was developed by companies knowing they would almost never be liable for serious harm. During this same period, chronic diseases in our children exploded, most of which are caused by immune system dysregulation. If we are to identify the exposures that are causing this epidemic of autoimmune diseases, we need to rule out products given dozens of times to young children, specifically to modify the immune system, as potential culprits.

Our infants and children deserve the best safety trials possible to keep them safe. We should care as much about every child who could be injured by one of these products as we do every child who could be injured by an infectious disease. We must protect all children.

Notes:

* https://fda.gov/media/130326/download ("Placebos, defined as inert substances with no pharmacologic activity, are commonly used in double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trials."); https://fda.gov/media/71349/download ("the placebo control design, by ... including a group that receives an inert treatment..."); https://cdc.gov/vaccines/glossary/ ("Placebo: A substance or treatment that has no effect on living beings, usually used as a comparison to vaccine or medicine in clinical trials.").

** While the above addresses injected vaccines, CNN's cited list also includes 10 trials for rotavirus vaccine, given by oral drops, but none of these trials used saline only drops. Instead, RCT 205, 207, 208, 209, 210, 213 (Rotarix) contained dextran, sorbitol, amino acids, dulbecco's modified eagle medium, calcium carbonate, and xanthan; RCT 211, 212 (RotaTeq) contained polysorbate 80, sucrose, citrate and phosphate; and RCT 206, 214 (Rotavac) included neomycin sulphate, kanamycin acid sulphate, trehalose, lactalbumin hydrolysate, human albumin, potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate, dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate, and trisodium citrate dihydrate. The list also included three trials of an inhaled flu vaccine; the controls in RCT 104 were OPV+saline or LAIV (a vaccine), hence neither inert; in RCT 106 the control "consisted of normal allantoic fluid harvested from uninfected eggs stabilized with sucrose-phosphate-glutamate"; and, in RCT 109, the control was "intranasal spray of egg allantoic fluid containing sucrose-phosphate-glutamate."

*** Note that the current polio vaccines used in the U.S. are a different product than the polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk in the 1950s โ€” which was discontinued in the 1960s โ€” including because the currently-used polio vaccines are "grown in vero cells, a continuous line of monkey kidney cells cultivated on microcarriers." Hence, the Salk trial was not relied upon to license any current polio vaccine. https://fda.gov/media/75695/download; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6740101/; https:// http://admin.phe-culturecollections.org.uk media/1222 49/ vero-cell-line-profile.pdf; https://atcc.org/products/all/ccl-81.aspx#characteristics.

**** Dow Chemical's MMR vaccine used different strains than any licensed U.S. MMR vaccine and also, after 14 days of safety review, this trial vaccinated all participants.

SOTT Focus: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - May 2025: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

ecs525
Since August 2024, solar cycle 25 has had an erratic intensity decrease, with a sudden peak in May, with up to 136 and 166 solar spots. A significant activity compared to the current official peak of 156.7 sunspots.

The activity in May was highlighted by an X2.7 flare, the strongest of the year to date, multiple M-class flares, and a prominent coronal hole in the Sun's southern hemisphere. The flares caused radio blackouts across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and auroral displays at mid-latitudes, visible further south than usual.

Right now, the general activity decrease data forecasts a possible solar minimum between 2029-2031. So far, the unusually cold temperatures and even snow in summer may continue or even extend further into the season.

SOTT Focus: MindMatters: Artificial Stone: Has Marcell Foti Cracked the Megalithic Code?

foti
In this episode of Mind Matters, Marcell Foti shares his groundbreaking Natron Theory, challenging conventional explanations for the construction of ancient megalithic structures. Foti, an IT professional turned independent researcher, proposes that ancient civilizations used a chemical process involving natron โ€” a carbonate mineral used in ancient Egypt for mummification and as a detergent โ€” to etch and dissolve granite into a moldable "waterglass" slurry, which could then be cast into precise stone shapes. Demonstrating with small-scale experiments, he explains how this method accounts for the seamless, complex features of structures like those in Peru and Egypt, offering a compelling alternative to traditional theories of chiseling. Follow Marcel's ongoing experiments and insights on Twitter and check out his book, The Natron Theory, for a deeper dive into this revolutionary idea.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Gaza, Genocide, and Why Israel Can't be a Normal Country

"Free Palestine!" is "the new 'heil Hitler'!" says Israeli PM Netanyahu following the double-murder of Israeli embassy staff in Washington DC last week - a sickening development that fortuitously eased growing international pressure on the Israeli regime to stop starving the Palestinians in Gaza to death.

Just how much pressure will Western leaders actually bring to bear on Israel though? Why don't they do more to restrain the Jewish State? Like, stop gifting it weapons and ammunition? And what about Palestinians' neighboring Arabs, what's their excuse for doing nothing? Finally, Israelis themselves: what IS their major malfunction? When you strip away the narratives and lies, what is the problem, really?

Also in this NewsReal: Russia tightens the noose on the Kyiv regime, Germany announces "total rearmament, with a view to soon becoming Europe's best military" (gulp), the WHO's 'Pandemic Preparedness Treaty' comes into effect, and Trump makes a fool of himself in front of South Africa's president.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Mid-East Horror Show - Trump's Yuge YMCA Tour of Arabia

trump saudi gaza israel newsreal
© Sott.net
Trump's recent grand tour of the richest petro-states of the Middle East saw him feted as an emperor, make "trillion$ for America" in "yuge deals," and meet the "young, attractive," head-choppy leaders of the Arabian peninsula and "the new, free Syria."

Speaking about the "dawn of a bright new day" for the region, the farce of Trump staging what amounted to a MAGA rally in the ostensibly ultra-conservative Saudi kingdom - complete with the YMCA soundtrack - was completed by Israelis literally blowing up his attempt to ease the suffering of starving Gazans when they launched "Operation Gideon's Chariots," another round of intense bombing of blockaded Gaza that UN officials say has turned the tiny enclave into a veritable "slaughterhouse."

Whatever happened to MAGA being different from the House of Horrors that was the NeoCons' obliteration of most of the rest of the region? Were we naive for thinking things would turn out differently?

Also in this NewsReal, the bizarre "neo-Nazi terrorist group" you've never heard of, despite being number one on the FBI's terror watch-list, plotting to "take down America's power grid" and "usher in a far-right theocracy." Finally, strange happenings in London, England, where a young Ukrainian appears to have committed arson against personal properties of the British prime minister - and NOT for political reasons...

SOTT Focus: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - April 2025: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

ecs0425
Solar Cycle 25's post-peak phase of sustained but declining activity started this month, yet X-class flares and geomagnetic storms indicate activity is still high, with medium levels of sunspots, so a rebound cannot be completely discarded. This activity is reflected in the extreme weather down here in April, from unseasonable snowstorms and catastrophic floods to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Arctic air plunged into mid-latitudes, triggering cold snaps and heavy snowfall in regions expecting the warmth of spring. In Seoul, South Korea, cherry blossoms mingled with the first mid-April snow since 1907, while the Alps were buried under eight feet of snow in just three days. Minnesota reeled from a 15-inch (38 cm) blizzard, and Turkey's capital, Ankara, faced icy roads after unexpected snow. These anomalies, also hitting Ukraine, Poland, and New Zealand, with surprisingly cold temperatures for Spring, highlight erratic weather patterns and the winter lingering on further and further.
