Why won’t the US medical establishment “believe women”? Covid-19 vaccines do not warn about menstrual disruption Marcie Smith Parenti · August 13, 2021 Amid rising reports of vaccine-related menstrual disruptions, the CDC and FDA are dismissing women’s concerns and denying them information while corporate media pathologizes them in sexist fashion. This August 11, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) overhauled its COVID-19 vaccine guidance for pregnant women, now “urging” them to accept their shots. Just 23% of pregnant women in the US have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Only something like 11.1% have been fully vaccinated.  The CDC is seeking to drive these numbers up, but it is not doing the one thing that would, perhaps more than anything else, assuage the “hesitations” of these so-called “anti-vaxxers”: investigate and explain widespread reports of menstrual disruption post-Covid 19 vaccine – and, if necessary, add a warning about it. Why? I have five fe

America Lies, Destroys, Breaks Promises Then Runs I'd rather write about South Africa, but with the Kabul situation so close to home, I must say something. As published at Unz Review , 8/18/21: Promising freedom, democracy and prosperity, America brings widespread destruction and death, but it’s all good, for the war profiteers. Since each Uncle Sam misadventure is a bonanza for them, the more, the merrier. Bring it on! On April 21st, 1975, I was still in Saigon. As the Vietnam War neared its end, there was much turmoil, obviously, and much fear. I had stopped going to school. With Da Lat overrun, my aunt and her family showed up at our house. After an 11-day battle, Xuan Loc, just 44 miles from Saigon, had just fallen. On our black and white television, I watched President Nguyen Van Thieu say: The Americans have asked us to do an impossible thing… You have asked us to do something you failed to do, with half a million powerful troops and skilled comman

What If Afghanistan is More Than Just a Failed War? Tom Luongo The U.S. Empire is in freefall. Good. Afghanistan has reverted to nativist control as expected. The ‘goat-herders’ there remain unconquered. The speed of the Taliban’s takeover doesn’t surprise me because the groundwork for it has been in process for years. Only the U.S. State Department under both Mike Pompeo and now Antony Blinken opposed this. If you’re angry this morning you can thank Russian diplomats who started this process in December 2016 by opening up the dialogue between the Taliban and the Asian powers with Pakistan leading the talks. I can’t say I’m shedding any tears here except for all the losses on both sides. War is never righteous. So, while I’m happy to see this end I am also sad to also see this end for what it is, a planned act of geopolitical vandalism by the  Biden  Obama Administration to ensure a complete collapse of the U.S. political system. We are being liquidated by  The Davos Crowd  at the prec
