Covid jabs and the case of the collapsing athletes                                                                                          By Sally Beck SPORTS stars are amongst the fittest people on the planet, but in the last three months there have been 15 reports of top-class athletes collapsing and even dying. These are not the bone and muscle injuries you might expect but heart issues, brain bleeds and unexplained collapse. Covid vaccinations have been implicated although not all conditions can be traced directly back to the jabs and some remain a perplexing mystery. With their livelihoods at stake as well as their finite careers, many are naturally worried, but that has not stopped the  Guardian  from slating sports stars who have spoken out against the vaccine. In fact, they called them ‘ highly impressionable ’ and ‘village idiots’. What the  Guardian  did not provide was context and they certainly did not mention Olympic Badminton star  Gail Emms , who tweeted in June that s

Ku Klux Kale In 2019, a Bloomington, IN, television station reported on the infiltration of fascist eggplants into the local farmer's market ( Source ) August 30, 2021 | 6:27 am Rod Dreher The Christian Century is a magazine for the senescent liberal Protestant Mainline. When I heard earlier this month that it had published an article exposing the presence of white supremacists at farmer’s markets, I laughed it off as another example of the dingbat left policing the boundaries. It should not surprise anyone that unsavory people enjoy a delicious tomato as well as the next person. If a Communist or a neo-Nazi enjoys locally grown fruits and vegetables, I can congratulate him on his good taste in food while rejecting his politics. This is called being a grown

The System Isn’t Broken, It’s Fixed by Mickey Z. / August 30th, 2021 Both chronic stress and manipulative abuse can lead to an impairment of cognitive functioning. Whenever humans experience ongoing anxiety, their prefrontal cortex will generate increasingly higher levels of cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that helps us deal with threats and danger. If stress — real or perceived — becomes chronic, we can get stuck in this state of high alert. The brain cannot differentiate between real and fake news. It initiates and sustains the body’s stress response for as long as you feel anxious, tense, worried, or scared. The projected overall 2021 poverty rate is 13.7 percent of Americans.  78 percent of American workers are living paycheck to paycheck. Roughly 30 million Americans are without health insurance.  Americans collectively hold about $81 billion in medical debt. Approximately 325,000 Americans (age 12 or older) are sexually assaulted each year

Mensch59 suggested I post Frei's article again, as the last time I did so was on The Digger, which is locked up tight. I've added "Against School," Gatto's brief explanation of what our schools' true purpose is. I've posted it on threads at least a hundred times over the last two decades or so, but Gatto seems to be gaining interest lately, so I figured for those wondering what he was all about and why people are starting to connect his ideas to the dismal fact that the population is being herded into totalitarianism in "the land of the free," it's well worth the read.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    What's up with our very big fact-checking blind spots https://twitter.com/RosemaryFreiTO/status/1379153387581796355   It was of a one-minute-long video I’d done earlier that day. In it, I talked about being puzzled by why the vast majority of people who can see the holes in the official Covid narrative don’t check the accuracy of info

Amazon, “Economic Terrorism” and the Destruction of Competition and Livelihoods Colin Todhunter   Global corporations are colonising India’s retail space through e-commerce and destroying small-scale physical retail and millions of livelihoods. Walmart entered into India in 2016 with a US$3.3 billion take-over of the online retail start-up Jet.com. This was followed in 2018 with a US$16 billion take-over of India’s largest online retail platform, Flipkart. Today, Walmart and Amazon control almost two thirds of India’s digital retail sector. Amazon and Walmart have a record of using predatory pricing, deep discounts and other unfair business practices to attract customers to their online platforms. A couple of years ago, those two companies generated sales of over US$3 billion in just six days during Diwali. India’s small retailers reacted by calling for a boycott of online shopping. If you want to know the eventual fate of India’s local markets and small retailers
