C-19 Pandemia: Quo vadis, homo sapiens? Geert Vanden Bossche 1. Summary: The WHO’s mass vaccination program has been installed in response to a public health emergency of international concern . As of the early days of the mass vaccination campaigns, at least a few experts have been warning against the catastrophic impact such a program could have on global and individual health. Mass vaccination in the middle of a pandemic is prone to promoting selection and adaptation of immune escape variants that are featured by increasing infectiousness and resistance to spike protein (S)-directed antibodies (Abs), thereby diminishing protection in vaccinees and threatening the unvaccinated. This already explains why the WHO’s mass vaccination program is not only unable to generate herd immunity (HI) but even leads to substantial erosion of the population’s immune protective capacity. As the ongoing universal mass vaccination program will soon promote dominant propagation of highly infectious, neu

"Crooked Souls" by Edward Curtin

  Crooked Souls August 13, 2021 ejcurtin 5 Comments “A house constitutes a body of images that give mankind proofs or illusions of stability.”      – Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space There is a vast and growing gulf between the world’s rich and poor.  An obscene gulf. If we can read houses, they will confirm this.  They offer a visible lesson in social class. Houses stand before us like books on a shelf waiting to be read, and when the books are missing, as they are for a vast and growing multitude of the homeless exiled wandering ones and those imprisoned, their absence serves to indict the mansion-dwelling wealthy and to a lesser extent those whose homes serve to shield them from the truth of the ill-begotten gains of the wealthy elites who create the world’s suffering through their avarice, lies, and war making. Many regular people want to say with Edmund in Eugene O’Neill’s play, Long Day’s Journey i

Distilling meanings from the madness: Covid 19, a Trojan horse for the 4th Industrial Revolution The foundation we all act from in responding to unfolding events in the world is that of our belief systems. Our perceptions determine our reactions. I believe, as various spiritual traditions and gurus have taught, that thoughts are living and impactful events as much as deeds are. A quote that has been recently been sitting with me from a lecture by the late initiate & social reformer Rudolf Steiner , deals with the importance of bringing a quality of universal wisdom into one’s thinking, and the significance of this for the whole evolution of humankind. (The feminised pronouns are my edit.) . . . if someone takes up St. John’s Gospel and reads but three lines of it, that is of immense consequence to the whole universe; for if among all the souls on earth none were to read St. John’s Gospel, the whole mission of the earth could not be fulfilled; from our taking pa

He has completed two tours in Iraq and two in Afghanistan working on security sector reform. He now specialises in advising on policing and security development in fractured nations. Afghanistan’s falling apart again and the Taliban’s on the brink of victory, as I predicted. So, why did the 20-year US-led occupation fail? Because it refused to tackle the rampant corruption that pervades all echelons of power. Knowing that in less than three hours, you will be in Kabul, the most dangerous capital city in th
