Die Corona-Heuchelei – In den Worten der großen Medien
Die Mediensammlung „Corona – Selbst Verstehen“ folgt einem interessanten Ansatz: Hier werden Meldungen und Artikel zur Corona-Politik ausschließlich aus großen und etablierten Medien zusammengefasst und in zum Teil entlarvender Weise miteinander kombiniert. Zudem werden auch Artikel aus der Vor-Corona-Zeit (etwa zur WHO, Bill Gates oder zur Schweinegrippe) präsentiert, was den massiven Umschwung im Tenor der Berichterstattung großer deutscher Medien seit März 2020 deutlich macht.

Watch: Fauci, CNN, White House, Newsom, & Cuomo All Ratchet Up Attacks On Unvaccinated Americans
(27.07.2021)
Unvaccinated Americans were the talking point of the day on Monday with a slew of figures slamming those who have chosen not to take the coronavirus jabs, assigning blame to them for America ‘going backwards’, likening them to murderers, and suggesting that they are to blame for more deadly variants of the virus emerging.

Filthy liar! German TV reporter is fired after being caught smearing herself in mud before filming report saying she helped the clear-up efforts in flood-devastated town
(22.07.2021)
Susanna Ohlen, 39, muddied herself to pretend she had lent a hand with the clean up effort in Bad Munstereifel following heavy flooding that claimed at least 128 lives in Germany.
RTL.de had published an article titled ‚Cleaning up after the flood: RTL presenter lends a hand in Bad Munstereifel‘, which featured Ohlen.
She was caught out after an onlooker posted the incriminating video online on Thursday.
CIA Document 1035-960 – Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report
(01. April 1967)
1. Our Concern. From the day of President Kennedy’s assassination on, there has been speculation about the responsibility for his murder. Although this was stemmed for a time by the Warren Commission report, (which appeared at the end of September 1964), various writers have now had time to scan the Commission’s published report and documents for new pretexts for questioning, and there has been a new wave of books and articles criticizing the Commission’s findings. In most cases the critics have speculated as to the existence of some kind of conspiracy, and often they have implied that the Commission itself was involved. Presumably as a result of the increasing challenge to the Warren Commission’s report, a public opinion poll recently indicated that 46% of the American public did not think that Oswald acted alone, while more than half of those polled thought that the Commission had left some questions unresolved. Doubtless polls abroad would show similar, or possibly more adverse results.
(…)
Innuendo of such seriousness affects not only the individual concerned, but also the whole reputation of the American government. Our organization itself is directly involved: among other facts, we contributed information to the investigation. Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown suspicion on our organization, for example by falsely alleging that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is to provide material countering and discrediting the claims of the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit the circulation of such claims in other countries. Background information is supplied in a classified section and in a number of unclassified attachments.
3. Action. We do not recommend that discussion of the assassination question be initiated where it is not already taking place. Where discussion is active [business] addresses are requested:
a. To discuss the publicity problem with [?] and friendly elite contacts (especially politicians and editors), pointing out that the Warren Commission made as thorough an investigation as humanly possible, that the charges of the critics are without serious foundation, and that further speculative discussion only plays into the hands of the opposition. Point out also that parts of the conspiracy talk appear to be deliberately generated by Communist propagandists. Urge them to use their influence to discourage unfounded and irresponsible speculation.
b. To employ propaganda assets to [negate] and refute the attacks of the critics. Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose. The unclassified attachments to this guidance should provide useful background material for passing to assets. Our ploy should point out, as applicable, that the critics are (I) wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in, (I) politically interested, (III) financially interested, (IV) hasty and inaccurate in their research, or (V) infatuated with their own theories.
(…)
4. In private to media discussions not directed at any particular writer, or in attacking publications which may be yet forthcoming, the following arguments should be useful:
a. No significant new evidence has emerged which the Commission did not consider. The assassination is sometimes compared (e.g., by Joachim Joesten and Bertrand Russell) with the Dreyfus case; however, unlike that case, the attack on the Warren Commission have produced no new evidence, no new culprits have been convincingly identified, and there is no agreement among the critics. (A better parallel, though an imperfect one, might be with the Reichstag fire of 1933, which some competent historians (Fritz Tobias, AJ.P. Taylor, D.C. Watt) now believe was set by Vander Lubbe on his own initiative, without acting for either Nazis or Communists; the Nazis tried to pin the blame on the Communists, but the latter have been more successful in convincing the world that the Nazis were to blame.)
A ton of corporate media, including the Financial Times, Fox News, The New York Times and The Guardian have used a pic of a PRO-govt rally in Cuba Flag of Cuba to illustrate their articles on anti-government protests, falsely claiming the huge crowds to be on the side of the US.

AMLO Denounces Numerous Fake Media Campaigns Against Cuba
López Obrador was one of the first rulers in the world to denounce and unmask the media campaign against the island and crude montages such as the one carried out in Mexico by the agency Artículo 19, financed by the U.S. embassy, by inserting in its media images of demonstrations that took place in Egypt as if they were in Havana.

U.S. Seizes Internet Domains Tied to Iran’s Government
The U.S. seized sites operated by government-run PressTV as well as social media channels affiliated with Iran-backed militias in Iraq. The seizures come as the Biden administration is in the midst of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program and follow the election of a new president who has rebuffed calls from Washington to curb its support for proxies fighting across the region.

Yet Another Media Tale — Trump Tear-Gassed Protesters For a Church Photo Op — Collapses
The IG’s conclusion could not be clearer: the media narrative was false from start to finish. Namely, he said, “the evidence did not support a finding that the [U.S. Park Police] cleared the park on June 1, 2020, so that then President Trump could enter the park.” Instead — exactly as Hemingway’s widely-mocked-by-liberal-outlets article reported — “the evidence we reviewed showed that the USPP cleared the park to allow a contractor to safely install anti-scale fencing in response to destruction of Federal property and injury to officers that occurred on May 30 and May 31.” Crucially, “the evidence established that relevant USPP officials had made those decisions and had begun implementing the operational plan several hours before they knew of a potential Presidential visit to the park, which occurred later that day.“

Konflikt in Nahost – Mindestens 42 Tote bei israelischen Angriffen
Am Samstag hatte das Militär nach einer Vorwarnung auch das Gebäude in Trümmer gelegt, in dem die Nachrichtenagentur AP und der katarische Fernsehsender Al-Dschasira ihre Büros hatten. Standardmäßig nannte es eine Präsenz der Hamas in dem Haus als Grund und warf Hamas vor, Journalisten als menschliche Schutzschilde benutzt zu haben. AP-Präsident Gary Pruitt sagte dagegen, die Nachrichtenagentur habe seit 15 Jahren in dem Gebäude gearbeitet und keinerlei Hinweise auf eine Anwesenheit der Hamas dort gehabt, obwohl sie dies aktiv und nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen prüfe.
Israeli Army Deployed a Secret, Strategic Weapon Against Hamas – and Reaped Limited Benefits
The current casualty toll seems modest and a far cry from the numbers that were circulating in Israel about mass deaths in the tunnels. Netanyahu, who initially planned a big press conference, made do with a short and cautiously worded video. But not all his mouthpieces got the message in time: one of them tweeted about the genius maneuver led by him and the IDF chief, but quickly deleted it. Mainstream media took longer to get the message.
Foreign Media Fumes Over Being Used in IDF Ploy to Trick Hamas: ‚They’ve Lost Credibility‘
Foreign journalists stationed in Israel and senior editors in international media outlets are enraged over reports in the Israeli media stating that the Israel Defense Forces deliberately misled them as part of a wider scheme against Hamas. Several reporters who spoke with Haaretz said that the incident will lead media to mistrust IDF statements in the future.

Corporate News Outlets Again „Confirm“ the Same False Story, While Many Refuse to Correct it
One of the primary plagues of corporate journalism, which I have documented more times than I can count, just reared its ugly head again to deceive millions of people with fake news. When one large news outlet publishes a false story based on whispers from anonymous security state agents with the CIA or FBI, other news outlets quickly purport that they have “independently confirmed” the false story, in order to bolster its credibility (oh, it must be true since other outlets have also confirmed it).
Netanyahu Trial: PM Asked to Remove Stories About Bereaved Families, Key Witness Says
Netanyahu’s trial resumed Monday after a two-week hiatus.
Defense attorneys began cross-examining Ilan Yeshua, who testified he was pressured to skew coverage on Walla in favor of Netanyahu and his family. Yeshua linked it to the alleged expectation of the then-controlling shareholder of Bezeq telecommunications, Shaul Elovitch, to receive regulatory concessions from Netanyahu in return for the favorable coverage. Walla was owned by Bezeq at the time.

The testimony of former Walla CEO Ilan Yeshua, who alleges that Benjamin Netanyahu sought favorable coverage in exchange for regulatory relief for Walla’s owners Bezeq, is set to continue in the third day of the prime minister’s trial, just 24 hours after President Reuven Rivlin reluctantly tasked him with forming a government.

Why did a German newspaper insist the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine was inefficacious for older people—without evidence?
With huge global public health implications, Handelsblatt’s story rapidly became international news—and was rapidly rebuffed. Calls for the underlying data filled social media. An AstraZeneca spokesperson described the reported figure as “completely incorrect.”
The controversy came at a moment of intense finger pointing between the European Commission and AstraZeneca over unfulfilled vaccine shipments, and in the week that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) was expected to decide whether to recommend authorisation.

Um eine Korrelation zwischen den lokalen Hotspots der Infektions- und Sterberaten und einem überproportionalen Anteil von „Corona-Leugnern“ unter den Einwohnern herzustellen, müsste man wissen, wie sich die gesuchte Spezies genau aufs Land verteilt. Die „Studie“ arbeitet dafür mit drei „Proxys“ (Stellvertreter-Werte): den Wählerstimmen für die AfD zur Europawahl 2019 (denn die AfD kritisiert die Maßnahmen), die Quote gegen Masern geimpfter Kinder (denn Corona-Skeptiker lassen ihre Kinder angeblich nicht gegen Masern impfen) und die Verteilung der Bushaltestellen von Honk for Hope (denn deren Busse fahren Maßnahmen-Protestler nach Berlin und Leipzig).

Why has Germany advised against Oxford/AstraZeneca jab for over-65s?
Prof Andy Pollard, of the University of Oxford, said the lack of data is understandable. “In our trials, the older adults were recruited later and, because they were recruited later there has been less time for cases to occur, and, older adults are known to be more cautious in the pandemic, meaning the ‘attack rate’ is lower,” he said.
AstraZeneca has stressed that older adults were recruited later because the team wanted to be sure the vaccine was safe before administering it to older age groups.

AstraZeneca’s vaccine has not been granted approval yet for general use in the European Union, but the bloc’s medicines regulator EMA is poised to authorise it on Friday.
The German panel, STIKO did not detail the data from clinical trials on the vaccine on older people, but two prominent German media outlets had reported that the efficacy on above-65s was below 10 per cent.

A University of Oxford spokesperson said clinical trials showed similar immune responses in younger and older adults, a good safety profile and high efficacy in younger adults. “There is no basis for the claims of very low efficacy of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine which have been circulating in the media,” they said.
While it is true that there was less data from older adults involved in the trials, the team say early figures were promising: “Preliminary efficacy data in older adults supports the importance of this vaccine for use in this population,” they said.
German media doubles-down on AstraZeneca vaccine stats: Handelsblatt newspaper REPUBLISHES widely rubbished claim that Oxford jab is only 8% effective in Over-65s and says there was NOT a mix-up in its reporting
Handelsblatt was still running the original story today with the headline: ‚Setback to coronavirus vaccine: AstraZeneca vaccine appears to hardly work on seniors‘.
A subheading noted that Germany’s health minister Jens Spahn had been ‚circumspect‘ about the claim, without mentioning the ministry’s subsequent denial.
Gregor Waschinski, one of the journalists behind the story, stood by it on Monday night and said it was confirmed by ‚multiple sources familiar with the German vaccination policy‘.
Coronavirus: Germany rejects ‚mixed up‘ reports on AstraZeneca jab
The reports emerged in Handelsblatt, a respected financial daily, and the mass-circulation Bild, quoting sources within Germany’s governing coalition.
Begrenzte Zulassung laut EMA grundsätzlich möglich
Die EU-Arzneimittelagentur (EMA) schließt nicht aus, dass der Coronavirus-Impfstoff von AstraZeneca in Europa nur für eine bestimmte Altersgruppe zugelassen wird. „Ich werde der Entscheidung nicht vorgreifen“, sagte EMA-Chefin Emer Cooke heute in einer Anhörung im Europaparlament. Eine begrenzte Zulassung sei aber grundsätzlich möglich. Das werde genau geprüft.
German Health Ministry DENIES bombshell vaccine claims – says Berlin paper messed up stats
The health ministry insisted the claims made in German media last night were based on confused analysis of a study into the effectiveness of the AstraZeneca jab.
‚F***ing bonkers!‘ UK attacks Germany over Oxford vaccine ‚lies‘ – EU row erupts
Another Westminster official said: “The efficacy claims circulating in the German media are unsubstantiated and incorrect.”
Speaking to Politico, a third added: “After this, support for Brexit will be at about 90 percent.”
The claims in the German media were made on the same day a row broke out between the European Union and AstraZeneca over supplies of the vaccine to the continent.
The great vaccine blockade? EU threat to cut off UK’s supply of Pfizer jabs will ‚poison relations for a generation‘ as Germans are accused of ‚Russian-style‘ disinformation over ‚rubbish‘ claim that AstraZeneca version is just 8% effective in elderly
Meanwhile, there is another row raging after two German newspapers claimed the EU’s regulator could refuse to give the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab full approval, with officials anonymously briefing its efficacy for pensioners was just eight per cent.
However, the claim was branded ‚absolutely incorrect‘ and ‚unsubstantiated‘ by the pharmaceutical company – and No10 sources told MailOnline it was ‚rubbish‘. One Whitehall source told Playbook it was the kind of tactics ‚you expect from the Russians‘.
Corona-Impfstoff von AstraZeneca: Zu wenig Impfdosen – zu geringe Wirksamkeit?
Möglicherweise wird es Einschränkungen bei der Anwendung des Impfstoffs geben, denn Zeitungsberichten zufolge ist die Wirksamkeit bei älteren Menschen eingeschränkt. AstraZeneca weist das zwar zurück, einen Gegenbeweis bleibt das Unternehmen in seinen Veröffentlichungen bisher aber schuldig.
Vaccine passports supported by majority of public despite ‚dystopian‘ consequences

Unlocking the World: What ‚vaccine passports‘ mean for your summer vacation
This week, Zurab Pololikashvili, the secretary general of the United Nations World Tourism Organization, called for the global adoption of vaccination passports as part of wider measures he said were essential to get the world in motion once again.
„The rollout of vaccines is a step in the right direction, but the restart of tourism cannot wait,“ he told a meeting of the UNWTO’s Global Tourism Crisis Committee in Madrid. „Vaccines must be part of a wider, coordinated approach that includes certificates and passes for safe cross-border travel.“
Corona-Runde: Fakten ohne Fakten schaffen!
Die Corona-Diktatur greift unverhohlen um sich und beginnt unverdrossen, die Mechanismen und Begrifflichkeiten von Diktatoren zu übernehmen. Anders als sie behaupten, ufern die “Zahlen” nicht aus und explodieren exponentiell, sondern gehen kontinuierlich zurück, auch wenn das nicht am Lockdown liegen kann. Nun hat der fürsorgende Staatsrat mit seinen 16 Bezirksvorsitzenden Angst vor der “Mutante“ und macht uns selbige davor. Und das Fernsehen berichtet fürsorglich von den Krankenwagen, die in London und nicht in Berlin vor den Krankenhäusern Schlange stehen.
In these grim times we all need a saviour and right now it is Chris Whitty
(11.01.2021)
Cometh the hour, cometh the man. In these exceptionally grim times we’re all – Boris Johnson included – looking for a saviour to rise from these streets. And right now that salvation appears to be the England’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty. Just about the only person left whom anyone can trust to tell the country the naked truth about coronavirus.
I’d love to ignore ‘Covid sceptics’ and their tall tales. But they make a splash and have no shame
They rubbished those who knew what they were talking about. Professors Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance were “Messrs Doom and Gloom”, “fear-mongering” and “self-serving”. That Whitty and Jonathan Van-Tam used their tiny amount of spare time to volunteer in hospitals suggests that’s not true. Now, as the death toll still rises, the same people crawl from the woodwork to demand we lift all restrictions as soon as the most vulnerable are vaccinated.
UK science advisers: publish evidence behind COVID vaccine changes
Pfizer–BioNTech say they do not have evidence of what happens to immunity beyond 21 days after the first dose.

It’s the pro-lockdown lobby that is spreading fake news
This is the stage of lockdown authoritarianism we have now reached: anyone who questions the lockdown will be branded a liar and a hoodwinker who should be expelled from public life, while the cheerers of lockdown, those self-styled saviours of lives, can say whatever they want with very few repercussions.
Die Vertuschungsaktion
(22.12.2020)
Laut Alina Chan, Molekularbiologin am Broad Institute of Harvard und am MIT, kann man die Evolution von SARS-CoV-2 nicht mit der These eines zoonotischen Ursprungs in Einklang bringen, denn das Virus war bereits vollständig für die Mensch-zu-Mensch-Übertragung angepasst, als es zum ersten Mal auftrat.
Die renommierte medizinische Fachzeitschrift „Nature“ erlaubte anscheinend einigen Autoren, ihre Daten heimlich zu ändern, ohne auf diese Korrekturen in den Artikeln hinzuweisen.
Chans Untersuchungen zeigen, dass die Autoren ihre Proben umbenannt, falsch zugeordnet und ein Genomprofil generiert haben, das mit keiner ihrer Proben übereinstimmt. In anderen Papers fehlen Daten.
Das Coronavirus RaTG13, zu 96 Prozent mit SARS-CoV-2 identisch und somit der engste Verwandte, ist in Wirklichkeit btCoV-4991. Dieses Genom wurde schon 2013 in Proben nachgewiesen und 2016 veröffentlicht.
Did Top Medical Journal Help Cover Up Origins of SARS-CoV-2?
(11.09.2020)
– According to Alina Chan, a molecular biologist at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, SARS-CoV-2 did not evolve in a manner you’d expect, had it jumped from an animal to a human. It sprang into action fully evolved for human transmission
– It appears Nature, a top medical journal, has allowed authors to secretly alter data sets in their papers without publishing notices of correction
– Chan’s investigation reveals authors have renamed samples, failed to attribute them properly, and produced a genomic profile that doesn’t match the samples in their paper. Others are missing data
– RaTG13 — the coronavirus that most resembles SARS-CoV-2, being 96% identical — is actually btCoV-4991, a virus found in samples collected in 2013 and published in 2016
– If SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 and the subsequent response to it, came from a lab, then we need to reassess the future of gain-of-function research that allows for the weaponization of viruses
Get ready. This is going to be an important thread. Election season will be over soon and hopefully more people will devote some attention to this… I’m going to walk through a timeline of SARS2-related virus data published in the months after the outbreak. (1/30)
(25 Oct 20)
Since the outbreak in late 2019, events have been unfolding at such a fast pace that it is difficult to keep track of what happened and in what order.
I use visualizations of the timeline to follow key events relating to the search for the animal host of SARS2. (2/30)
Even today, I still hear people saying that SARS-CoV-2 came from pangolins and a Seafood market in Wuhan. I hope this analysis will help to clear things up. It will refresh us on significant early pandemic events and major publications discussing the origins of the virus (3/30).
PETER HITCHENS: Guess where Professor Lockdown got his ideas … China’s police state
Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, said at the time that it was ‘just not possible’ for Ferguson to continue advising the Government. But this was not true. The professor was said to have resigned from the SAGE advisory committee. But did he? Not really. A current State website lists him as a member of the ‘New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group’ (NERVTAG). Minutes suggest he was only ever away from that for a few weeks.

Terror-Thomas vorgelesen: Massenmord in Berlin für den „Starken Staat“ benutzen
(03.01.2017)
„Es gibt in Deutschland keine Institution, die von Rechts wegen in der Lage wäre, bei großflächigen und zeitkritischen Ereignissen, die mehrere Bundesländer gleichzeitig betreffen oder das gesamte Bundesgebiet umfassen, die Länder zu koordinieren. Das Fehlen einer übergeordneten Entscheidungs- und Koordinierungsinstanz stellt ein Problem dar, für dessen fehlende Lösung die Bevölkerung in extremen Gefahrenlagen keinerlei Verständnis hätte. “
Thomaaas… sollte das etwa eine versteckte Drohung sein? Nach dem Motto „und bist Du nicht willig, so muss ich wieder V-Mann-Fahren“?
Weisst Du, Thomas, das ist keine gute Idee. Immer angenommen,Du hast den ganzen Sch**ss selbst geschrieben und Dir nicht etwa von irgendwem vorlegen lassen. Denn weisst Du: kurze, knurrige Sätze, die kann man auch kopieren.
Es sind Sätze wie diese, die eher eine strategische Arbeit von Propaganda-Spezialisten vermuten lassen, als den Erguss eines vielbeschäftigten Verfassungsministers:
„Dass ein Polizist zum Beispiel eine Waffe missbrauchen kann, ist kein sinnvolles Argument gegen die Waffe als Einsatzmittel. Gleiches gilt für die Telekommunikationsüberwachung.“
Netter Vergleich. Sie sind jetzt sicher auch dafür, dass Waffen gegen alle, auch gegen Sie eingesetzt werden, genauso wie die Telekommunikationsüberwachung? Nein? Nicht mehr? Haben Sie etwa mal zwei Sekunden nachgedacht oder was? Ja wieso denn das? Sie wissen doch wohin das führt!
Das mit dem „Starken Staat“, das erzählte übrigens schon die Ewige Kanzlerin Angela Merkel am 23. Dezember, nachdem sie sich erstmal vier Tage Zeit ließ, nach einem Massenmord mitten in Berlin, dem bisher kein einziges gerichtliches Mordverfahren folgte, sondern vielmehr wieder die Meisten der Logik des Terrorkrieges und damit der Regierung, ihren Behörden und deren in Windeseile wechselnden Darstellungen, bei allen Widersprüchen.
„Und wenn alle anderen die von der Partei verbreitete Lüge glaubten – wenn alle Aufzeichnungen gleich lauteten – dann ging die Lüge in die Geschichte ein und wurde Wahrheit“
Diese Aussage von George Orwell in 1984 stand Pate bei der Gründung der NachDenkSeiten; es war zugleich das durchgängige Leitmotiv in meinem 2004 erschienenen Buch „Die Reformlüge“. Inzwischen hat sich nichts wesentlich verändert: Manipulationen sind die Hauptinstrumente der Politik und der Medien – auch in der aktuellen Corona-Debatte. Das ist ein bitteres Fazit. Aber wer Orwells Aussage verinnerlicht hat und die Methoden kennt, wird wenigstens persönlich nicht ständig Opfer dieser Machenschaften. Im folgenden Text wird das Inhaltsverzeichnis des Teils III. von „Glaube wenig. Hinterfrage alles. Denke selbst“ wiedergegeben. Sie werden unschwer erkennen, welche Methoden der Manipulation in der Debatte und zur Durchsetzung des scharfen Lockdowns eingesetzt werden. Ich werde mich heute auf die Nr III. 14. „Experten helfen – zu manipulieren“ konzentrieren. Albrecht Müller.

How Nanotechnology Helped Create mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines
(04.12.2020)
Vaccines that employ mRNA were in early development before COVID-19 brought the world to its knees, and nanotech has been central to these efforts — unsurprisingly, as viruses are just naturally occurring nanoparticles themselves.
The key to making effective nanoparticle vaccines, and medicines in general, lies in mimicking the natural behaviors and tricks that make viruses so successful, and dangerous, in the first place.
Fact check: Lipid nanoparticles in a COVID-19 vaccine are there to transport RNA molecules
False. The lipid nanoparticles in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine protect and transport the vaccine component. They do not contain little computers or robots.
This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team. Read more about our work to fact-check social media posts here .
Video shares false claim that Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine contains ’nanotechnology‘
A video viewed thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook claims Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 mRNA vaccine contains lipid nanoparticles that could be concealing „little computers”. The claims are false; nanoparticles are microscopic particles that measure less than 100 nanometres, which have no relation to nanocomputers; an infectious diseases expert told AFP no technology currently exists by which computers could be inserted into an mRNA vaccine.
Of all the reporters Moscow’s spies could have chosen, why did they pretend to be me?

Chinese official’s ‚repugnant‘ tweet of Australia soldier likely amplified by fake accounts, experts say
Cyabra, an Israeli cybersecurity firm, said it was highly probable that an orchestrated campaign had promoted Zhao’s tweet.
Cyabra said it had found 57.5% of accounts that engaged with Zhao’s tweet were fake, and “evidence of a largely orchestrated disinformation campaign” to amplify its message. The firm did not give any details about who was behind the campaign.
Cyabra said it analysed 1,344 profiles and found a large number were created in November and used once, to retweet Zhao’s tweet.

Psychologen in der Pandemie
Die offizielle Darstellung des Corona-Komplexes wird weitgehend kritiklos übernommen. Es wird teilweise ein „nicht zu hinterfragendes Narrativ“ aufgebaut und propagiert. Auch seitens des Berufsverbandes Deutscher Psychologinnen und Psychologen in Zusammenschluss mit drei weiteren psychologisch-psychotherapeutischen Berufsverbänden (bdp, der DGPs und dem ZPID) wurde im Juni ein Konzeptpapier zum Umgang mit der aktuellen Situation veröffentlicht. Der Titel lautet:
“Herausforderungen, Ziele und Maßnahmen im Umgang mit der Pandemie aus psychologischer Sicht”
Dieses “Papier” hat viele Psychologinnen, Psychotherapeuten und Psychologen entsetzt. Daher haben wir uns entschlossen, öffentlich darauf zu reagieren: Die Gruppe „Psychotherapeuten stehen auf“ wurde gegründet.

Dafür beteuerte der Betroffene stets seine Unschuld und verwies darauf, dass es keine Beweise gibt, die belegen, dass er zum Tatzeitpunkt überhaupt in St. Pölten war. Weder Handydaten noch die 15 DNA-Spuren am Tatort belasteten den Betroffenen. Der Mann wurde festgenommen, nachdem er Mitarbeitern eines Wiener Krankenhauses aufgefallen war, als er sich einen Tag nach dem Anschlag auf die FPÖ-Zentrale mit einer Brandverletzung ärztlich versorgen ließ.
50 Jahre „Verschwörungstheoretiker“: 1967 verteilte die CIA eine geheime Handreichung zur Diskreditierung von Zweiflern

CIA Document 1035-960 – Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report
(01. April 1967)
1. Our Concern. From the day of President Kennedy’s assassination on, there has been speculation about the responsibility for his murder. Although this was stemmed for a time by the Warren Commission report, (which appeared at the end of September 1964), various writers have now had time to scan the Commission’s published report and documents for new pretexts for questioning, and there has been a new wave of books and articles criticizing the Commission’s findings. In most cases the critics have speculated as to the existence of some kind of conspiracy, and often they have implied that the Commission itself was involved. Presumably as a result of the increasing challenge to the Warren Commission’s report, a public opinion poll recently indicated that 46% of the American public did not think that Oswald acted alone, while more than half of those polled thought that the Commission had left some questions unresolved. Doubtless polls abroad would show similar, or possibly more adverse results.
(…)
Innuendo of such seriousness affects not only the individual concerned, but also the whole reputation of the American government. Our organization itself is directly involved: among other facts, we contributed information to the investigation. Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown suspicion on our organization, for example by falsely alleging that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is to provide material countering and discrediting the claims of the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit the circulation of such claims in other countries. Background information is supplied in a classified section and in a number of unclassified attachments.
3. Action. We do not recommend that discussion of the assassination question be initiated where it is not already taking place. Where discussion is active [business] addresses are requested:
a. To discuss the publicity problem with [?] and friendly elite contacts (especially politicians and editors), pointing out that the Warren Commission made as thorough an investigation as humanly possible, that the charges of the critics are without serious foundation, and that further speculative discussion only plays into the hands of the opposition. Point out also that parts of the conspiracy talk appear to be deliberately generated by Communist propagandists. Urge them to use their influence to discourage unfounded and irresponsible speculation.
b. To employ propaganda assets to [negate] and refute the attacks of the critics. Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose. The unclassified attachments to this guidance should provide useful background material for passing to assets. Our ploy should point out, as applicable, that the critics are (I) wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in, (I) politically interested, (III) financially interested, (IV) hasty and inaccurate in their research, or (V) infatuated with their own theories.
(…)
4. In private to media discussions not directed at any particular writer, or in attacking publications which may be yet forthcoming, the following arguments should be useful:
a. No significant new evidence has emerged which the Commission did not consider. The assassination is sometimes compared (e.g., by Joachim Joesten and Bertrand Russell) with the Dreyfus case; however, unlike that case, the attack on the Warren Commission have produced no new evidence, no new culprits have been convincingly identified, and there is no agreement among the critics. (A better parallel, though an imperfect one, might be with the Reichstag fire of 1933, which some competent historians (Fritz Tobias, AJ.P. Taylor, D.C. Watt) now believe was set by Vander Lubbe on his own initiative, without acting for either Nazis or Communists; the Nazis tried to pin the blame on the Communists, but the latter have been more successful in convincing the world that the Nazis were to blame.)

In U.S. and UK, Globalization Leaves Some Feeling ‘Left Behind’ or ‘Swept Up’
(05.10.2020)
In the course of the focus group discussions, participants observed that globalization extends beyond economic issues, such as trade, multinational corporations and open markets, to questions of governance, sovereignty and the connectivity made possible by new communication technology. Core to the discussion of globalization’s political implications was the role and influence of multinational or multilateral organizations such as the UN, the World Bank and – in the case of the UK – the EU. Particularly for participants who were less comfortable with globalization, these organizations were framed in terms of implications for the nation-state.
Aufstand der Experten gegen den viralen Irrsinn
Eine Expertengruppe von renommierten Medizinern und Gesundheits-Fachleuten warnt Bund und Länder davor, die Bevölkerung mit immer neuen Drohungen – darunter einen Lockdown – zur Disziplin zwingen zu wollen. Sie fordern einen Kurswechsel. Es überwiege der Eindruck, „dass die Verantwortlichen auf den immergleichen Vorgehensweisen beharren und Maßnahmen sogar noch verstärken, an deren Wirksamkeit und Akzeptanz es aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht größte Zweifel geben muss“. Das führe zur „Abwendung und Flucht in falsche Heilslehren, aber nicht zu einer Verbesserung der Wirksamkeit der vorgeschlagenen bzw. angeordneten Maßnahmen“. Hier die Stellungnahme im Wortlaut:
Wenn schon die Fakten nicht stimmen
Nur selten lässt sich das so schön dokumentieren wie mit jenem denkwürdigen Tweet des Bundesministeriums für Gesundheit vom 14. März: „Achtung Fake News“ stand da zwischen zwei dicken roten Ausrufezeichen, gefolgt von der Meinungsbekundung:
„Es wird behauptet und rasch verbreitet, das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit / die Bundesregierung würde bald massive weitere Einschränkungen des öffentlichen Lebens ankündigen. Das stimmt NICHT! Bitte helfen Sie mit, ihre Verbreitung zu stoppen.

Vielen Medien, allen voran der ARD-Faktenfinder, nahmen die politische Propaganda als Tatsache und verbreiteten sie so. Zwei Tage später wurden die „Fake News“ Wirklichkeit, die Politik verhängte den Shutdown.
How Azerbaijan is Lobbying Washington to Sanitize its War
The documents lobbyists distribute on Capitol Hill make some incredulous claims: that “Armenia has long been involved with Middle Eastern terrorism,” that “Azerbaijan has been consistent in urging substantive and result-oriented negotiations in order to achieve a breakthrough in the conflict,” and that “Turkey is not directly involved and is not a party to the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.”
That last assertion stands in direct contradiction with reports that Turkey has been heavily involved in the conflict, even going so far as to send 1,000 jihadist fighters from Syria to aid Azerbaijan.

CDC has not reduced the death count related to COVID-19
(01.09.2020)
The CDC data table is based on an analysis of death certificates that mention COVID-19 as a cause. For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned, the CDC notes.
The other 94% list COVID-19 and other conditions together. Among those deaths, there were, on average, 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death, the public health agency said.
We would like to know why the CDC updated only 9,682 deaths silently on their Covid page. Look at the red wording? I have daily updates and it was recently added to show all these deaths were never Covid. These were underlying conditions people died from besides 9,862! #suspect

Das Meinungsforschungsinstitut Gallup konnte bereits feststellen, dass die Furcht vieler US-Bürger vor der Pandemie angesichts sinkender Fallzahlen zurückgeht. „Trotzdem halten sie sich weiterhin zu großen Teilen an die Vorsichtsmaßnahmen wie soziale Distanz“, so der Gallup-Bericht. Das könne ein Hinweis darauf sein, dass sie den Wert der Maßnahmen erkannt hätten – oder sich zumindest an sie gewöhnt haben.
CIA Document 1035-960 – Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report
(01. April 1967)
1. Our Concern. From the day of President Kennedy’s assassination on, there has been speculation about the responsibility for his murder. Although this was stemmed for a time by the Warren Commission report, (which appeared at the end of September 1964), various writers have now had time to scan the Commission’s published report and documents for new pretexts for questioning, and there has been a new wave of books and articles criticizing the Commission’s findings. In most cases the critics have speculated as to the existence of some kind of conspiracy, and often they have implied that the Commission itself was involved. Presumably as a result of the increasing challenge to the Warren Commission’s report, a public opinion poll recently indicated that 46% of the American public did not think that Oswald acted alone, while more than half of those polled thought that the Commission had left some questions unresolved. Doubtless polls abroad would show similar, or possibly more adverse results.
(…)
Innuendo of such seriousness affects not only the individual concerned, but also the whole reputation of the American government. Our organization itself is directly involved: among other facts, we contributed information to the investigation. Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown suspicion on our organization, for example by falsely alleging that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is to provide material countering and discrediting the claims of the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit the circulation of such claims in other countries. Background information is supplied in a classified section and in a number of unclassified attachments.
3. Action. We do not recommend that discussion of the assassination question be initiated where it is not already taking place. Where discussion is active [business] addresses are requested:
a. To discuss the publicity problem with [?] and friendly elite contacts (especially politicians and editors), pointing out that the Warren Commission made as thorough an investigation as humanly possible, that the charges of the critics are without serious foundation, and that further speculative discussion only plays into the hands of the opposition. Point out also that parts of the conspiracy talk appear to be deliberately generated by Communist propagandists. Urge them to use their influence to discourage unfounded and irresponsible speculation.
b. To employ propaganda assets to [negate] and refute the attacks of the critics. Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose. The unclassified attachments to this guidance should provide useful background material for passing to assets. Our ploy should point out, as applicable, that the critics are (I) wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in, (I) politically interested, (III) financially interested, (IV) hasty and inaccurate in their research, or (V) infatuated with their own theories.
(…)
4. In private to media discussions not directed at any particular writer, or in attacking publications which may be yet forthcoming, the following arguments should be useful:
a. No significant new evidence has emerged which the Commission did not consider. The assassination is sometimes compared (e.g., by Joachim Joesten and Bertrand Russell) with the Dreyfus case; however, unlike that case, the attack on the Warren Commission have produced no new evidence, no new culprits have been convincingly identified, and there is no agreement among the critics. (A better parallel, though an imperfect one, might be with the Reichstag fire of 1933, which some competent historians (Fritz Tobias, AJ.P. Taylor, D.C. Watt) now believe was set by Vander Lubbe on his own initiative, without acting for either Nazis or Communists; the Nazis tried to pin the blame on the Communists, but the latter have been more successful in convincing the world that the Nazis were to blame.)

The Atlantic’s Trump report: We should know the sources of a story this important
The headline over the bombshell story in The Atlantic magazine exploded on the media and political worlds like a grenade going off in a battle — the kind of headline that would certainly give the president’s detractors yet one more reason to detest the man.
“Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’”
Tables Turned: Biden Now Distrusts Intelligence Chief .
Ned Price, a former CIA analyst who served as a senior director on the Obama administration’s National Security Council staff and is not involved in the Biden campaign, offered another explanation. In an interview with RCP, Price said the most recent assessment claiming that China wants Biden to win isn’t convincing because it relies on open-source public comments from Chinese officials, not more penetrating intelligence.
Faktenchecks zur Corona-Pandemie: Falschmeldung über Todesfall bei Demo
Auf Nachfrage von tagesschau.de verwies die Polizei auf eine Stellungnahme. Die 60-jährige Frau sei nach derzeitigem Erkenntnisstand am Sonntag kurz vor 13 Uhr von Einsatzkräften festgenommen worden. Sie habe sich an einer unerlaubten Versammlung beteiligt und sich trotz mehrfacher Aufforderung nicht entfernt. Sie soll einem Polizisten in den Bauch getreten haben und wollte offenbar einem anderen in den Arm beißen. Als sie sich am Boden liegend wehrte, schlug ein Polizist zwei Mal mit der Faust in ihren oberen Rückenbereich – das ist auf zwei Videos zu erkennen. Nach Angaben der Polizei wurde die Frau leicht verletzt.
„Was für ein beschämendes Bild für einen verdienstvollen Innensenator“
Warum werden von den Berliner Behörden so klar wie leicht erkennbar falsche Behauptungen in die Welt gesetzt?
Die Antwort ist genauso einfach wie erschreckend. Der Innensenator hat sich gemeinsam mit seiner Polizeipräsidentin und allen, die den beiden beratend zuarbeiten, vergaloppiert, das betrifft auch das Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz mit einem in relevanten Zügen falschen Lagebild; den Staatsschutz Berlins sowieso. Was für ein beschämendes Bild!
Die unendliche Geschichte: Die fliegende Regierungsinsel und ihre Hofdichter finden aus Phantasien nicht mehr zurück.
Niemand fragt, ob die in den Medien breitgetretenen Skandale wie Tönnies oder das »leichtsinnige« Verhalten der Demonstranten am 1. August 2020 bei Menschen überhaupt ernsthafte gesundheitliche Schäden verursacht haben. Hinter dem Hype stecken handfeste Interessen, die es aufzudecken gilt.
Ist irgendjemand in den letzten Tagen mal im Freibad oder am Badestrand gewesen und hat die Menschenmassen im Wasser und beim Sonnenbad gesehen? Niemand trägt in den randvollen Becken eine Maske und das schon seit Wochen. Wo bleiben die Infizierten der maskenlosen Groß-Demo zu »Black-Lives-Matter«? Oder die der friedlichen Großdemo am 1. August 2020 in Berlin?
Wann wurde die Müllentsorgung eingestellt, obwohl die Menschen dort doch den »Virenwolken« aus dem Abfall, aus Taschentüchern und gebrauchten Masken, intensiv ausgesetzt wären?
Und wo sind die Tönnies-Toten? Wo sind die Herzinfarkte in Heinsberg?
Wo sind die Nieren- und Nervenschäden in Ischgl, wo 85 Prozent gar nicht gemerkt haben, dass sie COVID-19 hatten?
Eine Pandemie, die Menschen in diesem Jahr vermehrt erkranken lässt, findet schlicht nicht statt. Wer hier von Präventionsparadoxon spricht, missbraucht den Begriff und hat von Infektionsepidemiologie keine Ahnung.
US govt-funded Coda Story smears American journalists who undermine new Cold War propaganda
A shadowy neoconservative website called Coda Story has launched a smear campaign against American journalists who challenge new cold war propaganda. But what this publication has not disclosed is that it is funded by the US government, backed by the European Union, linked to the NATO war alliance, and part of a larger network of regime-change outfits that are bankrolled by Western governments and corporate oligarchs.

Die Italien-Keule: Über Monate wurden mit Verweis auf Bergamo fahrlässig fehlerhafte Analysen verbreitet und Corona-Panik geschürt.
In der italienischen Presse wird auch, von den deutschen Jubelmedien unterschlagen, auf die bedenklichen Zustände in der Pflegeversorgung in Italien hingewiesen. Dort konnte bislang die Pflege in Alten- und Pflegeheimen, aber auch in vielen Privathaushalten nur durch die Mithilfe vor allem osteuropäischer, aber auch südamerikanischer und afrikanischer Pflegekräfte bewältigt werden.
Nach Beginn der Corona-Panikmache und den Notstands-Diktaten der Regierung in Rom haben die osteuropäischen Pflegekräfte scharenweise und fluchtartig Norditalien verlassen. Dies forderte zahlreiche Todesopfer unter den alleingelassenen Pflegefällen, das heißt zusätzliche Sterbefälle (9).
Viral Fake Footage Of “Chinese” Atrocities Shows The Power Of Narrative Spin
The only sane response to a situation that is swamped with propaganda and disinformation is to hold tight to skepticism and agnosticism until presented with hard proof. Get comfortable with not knowing, and don’t forget that the power structures presenting you with these narratives have lied to you in the past.
Stay skeptical. Stay critical. Demand hard, verifiable proof about any claim about any US-targeted nation, and if it isn’t given to you, don’t swallow it. This is how you keep your head clear of the propaganda.

Western media’s favorite Hong Kong ‘freedom struggle writer’ is American ex-Amnesty staffer in yellowface
Since bursting onto the Hong Kong Twitter scene, Kong Tsung-gan has been quoted by a who’s who of Western corporate media outlets. He has been described as an “author” (CNN, Globe and Mail, Time), “writer and activist” (New York Times, Washington Post), “activist and author” (LA Times),“activist” (AFP, Al Jazeera), “writer, educator and activist” (Guardian), “political writer” (Foreign Policy), “writer” (Vice), and “Hong Kong writer and activist” in an op-ed posted by the Nikkei Asian Review.
Kong has also been cited as a “Hong Kong journalist and rights activist” by Radio Free Asia and as a “rights activist and author” by Voice of America, two subsidiaries of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Tasked with a mission to “be consistent with the broad foreign policy objectives of the United States,” the USAGM budgeted around $2 million to support protests in Hong Kong in 2020.
Gay Girl in Damascus: Tom MacMaster defends blog hoax
(13 June 2011)
Mr MacMaster, who is on holiday in Istanbul, told BBC Scotland: „I really felt a number of years ago, in discussions on Middle East issues in the US, often when I presented real facts and opinions, the immediate reaction to someone with my name was: ‚Why are you anti-American? Why are you anti-Jewish?‘
„So I invented a name to talk under that would keep the focus on the actual issue.“
Mr MacMaster said he had wanted people to listen to the facts without paying attention to „the man behind the curtain“.
Remember “Gay Girl In Damascus” the fake Syrian lesbian aka Tom MacMaster, who rallied gullible western liberal support for Syria regime change? Turns out one of the most popular US-backed Hong Kong protest “voices” is another hoax

I keep hearing liberals and even leftists insisting that Russiagate and the blatantly exaggerated threat from Moscow is irrelevant to their politics. That couldn’t be more false. It’s not only been weaponized to ensure Endless War & imperialism but also for domestic politics:
Colin Powell politely tells MSNBC that they (& many others) botched the Russian Bounty story w/ „hysterical“ coverage. „Our military commanders did not think that it was as serious a problem as the newspapers were reporting & television was reporting… It got almost hysterical.“

„Bestandsdatenauskunft“: Die Bürgerrechtsbewegung verliert andauernd, weil sie keine ist
(3. Mai 2013)
Vor dem Beschluss des Bundesrats hatte eine „Zivilgesellschaft“ aus dem Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung, dem Deutschen Journalistenverband (D.J.V.), der Neuen Richtervereinigung (N.R.V.), den Reporter ohne Grenzen (R.O.G.), der Deutschen Journalistinnen- und Journalisten Union (d.j.u.), des Komitees für Grundrechte und Demokratie, der Evangelischen Konferenz für Telefonseelsorge und Offene Tür, der Humanistischen Union und des Organisationsbüros der Strafverteidigervereinigungen das übliche devote Klagelied angestimmt. Das Wort „Bürgerrechte“ tauchte in der gesamten Erklärung nicht ein einziges Mal auf. Geschweige denn das Wort „Bürgerrechtsbewegung“. Hintergrund: angesichts der seit dem Lissabon-Vertrag aufgebauten Querfront von Kapitalismus-Kartell, „Antinationalisten“ und Nationalisten gegen die europäischen Demokratien, auch die deutsche, verteidigt keine einzige dieser noblen Organisationen der „Zivilgesellschaft“ noch die Verfassung der Republik Deutschland, das Grundgesetz. Die gesamte Bürgerrechtsbewegung, die sich gegen den damaligen Innenminister Wolfgang Schäuble aufgestellt hat, hat sich mittlerweile vom Acker gemacht. Es ist an der Zeit diese ganze Farce endlich auffliegen zu lassen.

Donald Trump Speech Transcript at Mount Rushmore 4th of July Event
One of their political weapons is cancel culture, driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and to our values and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.
This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty must be stopped and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation’s children from this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It’s not going to happen to us.
Trump Flouts Virus Rules, Warns Of ‚New Far-Left Fascism‘ In Speech Ahead Of July 4th
„They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive,“ he said. „But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history and culture to be taken from them.“
In response, the crowd erupted in cheers of „USA! USA!“ and „Four more years!“

Seriously, Get The Hell Out Of Afghanistan
With overwhelming bipartisan support, the House Armed Services Committee has added a Liz Cheney-spearheaded amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which throws severe roadblocks in the Trump administration’s proposed scale-down of US military presence in Afghanistan and Germany.
As The Intercept‘s Glenn Greenwald notes, both parties advancing the amendment cited in their arguments the completely unsubstantiated intelligence leak that was recently published by credulous mass media reporters alleging that Russia has paid bounties to Taliban fighters for killing the occupying forces in Afghanistan. Yet another western imperialist agenda once again facilitated by unforgivably egregious journalistic malpractice in the mass media.

America’s Two Right-Wing Parties Keep Accusing Each Other Of Being Far-Left
The hashtag #ComradeTrump is trending on Twitter as of this writing because a well-funded Super PAC run by never-Trump Republicans put out an appallingly stupid viral video featuring footage of Trump splashed with red hammer-and-sickle symbols interspersed with images of Soviet leaders while an English-captioned narrator gushes about Mother Russia’s support for “Comrade Trump” in Russian. As of this writing the video has over two million views on Twitter alone.
This tactic of negatively associating Trump with communism and socialism, combined with the consistent pattern of attacking the president for being insufficiently warlike, would only work if it was directed at the members of a reactionary, jingoistic right-wing political ideology. And it does work, because that’s exactly the ideology of the Democratic Party.

He also commended the United States for the January drone strike that killed Quds force leader, „arch-terrorist“ Qasem Soleimani and warned that Israel will do everything necessary to make sure that Iran does not expand its foothold in Syria.
The comments were made during a joint press briefing with Brian Hook, US Special Representative on Iran, who visited Israel as part of his larger official Middle East trip.

Facebook removes Trump ads with symbol once used by Nazis to designate political prisoners
The red triangle appeared in paid posts sponsored by Trump and Vice President Pence, as well as by the “Team Trump” campaign page. It was featured alongside text warning of “Dangerous MOBS” and asking users to sign a petition about antifa, a loose collection of anti-fascist activists whom the Trump administration has sought to link to recent violence, despite arrest records that show their involvement is trivial.
Besatzungsmächte bezahlen „Taliban“: der Gespenster-Krieg entlarvt sich.
(22. Oktober 2009)
Hamid Karzai im Februar 2004 (2):
„Was Terrorismus angeht, was die Taliban angeht, glauben wir fest, mit Beweisen, dass sie besiegt sind. Sie sind weg..Wir sehen kein Wiedererstarken der Taliban. Die Taliban-Bewegung existiert nicht mehr.“
Man muss sich diesbezüglich vor Augen halten, was alles vor der Invasion Afghanistans (und in der Zeit nach Kriegsbeginn am 11.September 2001) erzählt und behauptet worden war. Die Regierung Chinas sah sich nach einer Kampagne in den US-Informationsmedien (damals noch mehrheitlich TV, Radio und Druckzeitungen) genötigt zu erklären, dass man nicht auf Seiten des Taliban-Regimes stehe und dieses auch nicht unterstütze. (3)
Die isralische Geheimdienst-Webseite „Debka Files“ behauptete allen Ernstes am 5.Oktober 2001 hätten 3.000 chinesische Soldaten die Grenze nach Afghanistan überschritten – zur Unterstützung der Taliban und Osama Bin Ladens. Rechte und reaktionäre Nachrichtenmedien machten daraus dann gleich 15.000 chinesische Soldaten, welche als „ethnische Muslime“ an der Seite ihrer Glaubensbrüder gegen das Abendland kämpfen würden. Russland, Vietnam und das Fass Hugo Chavez wurden gleich mitaufgemacht. (4)
Jetzt, bald 8 Jahre später, tauchen endlich Meldungen über Waffen des deutschen Militärs und der deutschen Bundespolizei auf Schwarzmärkten in Afghanistan und Pakistan auf (5). Bis heute ist in Deutschland jeder in den Bundestagsparteien zu dumm oder zu feige die Frage zu stellen, woher irgendwelche Milizen in den Bergen eines zentralasiatischen Landes (die ja 8 Jahre nach der Invasion angeblich wieder mal kurz vor der Machtübernahme stehen) eigentlich ihre Waffen und Munition bekommen. Und nicht nur das: Transportmittel, Infrastruktur, Nahrung, Unterkunft und nicht zuletzt die Informationen über Militärbewegungen des Gegners. Von einer Luftwaffe der Taliban wagt sogar die Nato nicht zu reden, von Satelliten-Unterstützung ganz zu schweigen. Trotzdem ist dieser seit 8 Jahren mal existierende, dann wieder nicht existierende, aber schier unersetzliche Gegner in einem sonst der Bevölkerung nicht mehr zu vermittelnden Krieg scheinbar bestens informiert darüber wann, wo, wie und wieviele Nato-Soldaten sich durch die Besatzungszone bewegen.
Fox News removes manipulated images from coverage of Seattle protests
Fox removed the edited images in response to an article in the Seattle Times, telling the outlet in a statement, “We have replaced our photo illustration with the clearly delineated images of a gunman and a shattered storefront, both of which were taken this week in Seattle’s autonomous zone.” The image of the shattered storefront, however, was not captured this week in the autonomous zone.
Fox News runs digitally altered images in coverage of Seattle’s protests, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone
On Saturday, Fox apologized in an editor’s note posted to stories about CHAZ on its website, sayings its home-page photos “did not clearly delineate” the splicing together of multiple images from different locations. The editor’s note also acknowledged the erroneous use of the Minnesota rioting photo to illustrate Seattle news. “Fox News regrets these errors,” the note stated.
The network’s misleading and faked images were published as the Capitol Hill zone — quickly labeled CHAZ — became a political flashpoint for conservatives nationally and a target of tweets by President Donald Trump, who has branded the demonstrators “domestic terrorists” and threatened federal action unless local officials “take back” the area.

Schreiben an den SWR wegen dessen Berichterstattung über die Demonstration in Koblenz vom 9. Mai 2020
Ich bin Psychologe und Psychotherapeut. Als Psychotherapeut bin ich bemüht, mich in die sehr individuell und subjektiv ausgeprägten Sorgen der Menschen einzufühlen und diese zu verstehen, selbst wenn sie meiner eigenen Weltsicht widersprechen. Als wissenschaftlicher Psychologe verstehe ich etwas von Manipulationsstrategien. Und ich bin entsetzt über das Gebaren der Leitmedien, die die alternativen Medien diffamierend und undifferenziert als „Fake-News-Medien“ darstellen und selbst nicht müde werden, zu verschweigen, zu zensieren und zu lügen.
Was denken Sie denn, was Sie mit solcher Lügen-Berichterstattung erreichen? Sie treiben nicht nur frustrierte „Wutbürger“ von sich weg, auch Scharen gebildeter, differenzierter, eher linksorientierter und friedensaktivistischer Menschen werden sich mehr und mehr von den Staatsmedien abwenden und tun das jetzt schon.

Sorting Through the Lies of the Racak Massacre and other Myths of Kosovo
(February 15, 2001)
There was the ethnic cleansing. The atrocities. The refugees chased out of Kosovo by the Serb army. The mass graves. The heaps of bodies tossed into vats of sulphuric acid at the Trepca mines.
NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said there were 100,000 Kosovars unaccounted for.
Remember?
If you’re like most people, you have at least a vague recollection of something that seemed to approach a modern-day Holocaust.
Problem is, none of it happened.
What really has happened in Kosovo
(14 May 1999)
In the US-NATO assault on Yugoslavia, accusations of genocide in Kosovo play the same role in the propaganda war as cruise missiles and cluster bombs in the air war. The claims that Serbian troops and paramilitary forces are slaughtering thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Albanians, the comparisons of Slobodan Milosevic to Adolf Hitler, the invocation of the Holocaust–all these serve as weapons, if not to convince, at least to intimidate public opinion.
The purpose of this propaganda, whose tone has been set by the White House, is to block any critical thought or even serious reflection on the part of the American people about the mushrooming conflict in the Balkans.
Monumental stupidity of online smear artists in action: Last night I RT’d a simple tweet with a 2-minute video of Biden angrily demanding massive bombing of Belgrade: seems relevant to know for a presidential candidate. ?♂️ Now I’m a Milosevic apologist, war crimes denier, etc.
Flu Misinformation and Coronavirus Fears: My Letter to Dr. Sanjay Gupta
9. CNN assertion: Sanjay, I’ve watched your video assuring the public that getting the flu shot cannot increase one’s chances of getting the flu.
Fact: While that assertion has some meager support from a very small number of studies, the overwhelming weight of published science suggests that getting an annual flu shot can actually increase your risk of both flu and flu-like illnesses.
Only about 7 percent to 15 percent of what are called “influenza-like illnesses” are actually caused by influenza viruses. Many studies suggest the flu vaccine increases vulnerability to both flu infections and the remaining 85% -93% of non-flu respiratory infections.
A 2011 study of healthy Australian children published in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal found that seasonal flu shots increase the risk of flu by 73% and doubled the risk of non-flu respiratory infections.
Similarly, another 2012 randomized controlled trial published in Clinical Infectious Diseases found that influenza-vaccinated children had no significantly lessened risk from influenza and also a higher risk of infection from non-influenza viruses.
Furthermore, the flu vaccine depletes capacity to fight off future flu infections. In April 2010, a study (by Skowronek, et al) published in the journal PLoS Medicine reported the “unexpected” finding from four epidemiologic studies in Canada that receipt of the influenza vaccine for the 2008 – 2009 season, while apparently effective in reducing the risk of illness due to the seasonal flu, was associated with an increased risk of illness due to the pandemic influenza A (H1N1) “swine flu” virus during the spring and summer of 2009. The scientists suggested that this finding could be due to the difference in the way the vaccine affects the immune system compared with natural infection.
