World Socialist Web Site Accuses Sweden of Herd Immunity Conspiracy Michael P Senger In a  blistering exposé  submitted to the Global Workers’ Inquest and published by the World Socialist Web Site, currently making the rounds among Covid-containment Twitter, Keith Begg and Virpi Flyg accuse Swedish authorities of openly conspiring to export the concept of “herd immunity” to other allied nations. If true, it would be a bold geopolitical play for Sweden, the small Nordic country best known for its liberal politics, exceptionally high living standards, and commitment to the advancement of science, technology, and human rights, including as host of the annual Nobel Prize ceremonies. It would also be an unusual move for a country with all its democratic institutions intact, especially in the middle of an election year; this only serves to highlight the broad commitment of the Swedish people to export these concepts of “freedom” and “human rights” all over the world.

The Great Convergence I - Planet Pennywise Hatches the Hydra The monster that was born when we got together to dig the splinters out of our minds is an existential nightmare for the globalist class John Carter Something very interesting has been happening over the last few years, and very few people have been noticing it.

The entire country can be in ruins and even then, most people figure that it will all be improved or even solved come November. It’s been going on for our entire history. As a people, we believe our elections are what keep the people and not the dictators in charge.  Surely some of this faith is necessary simply because it is the only option we have. The sitting president and his party are in deep trouble now, and most observers are predicting a rout in the midterm elections, granting us two additional painful years of inflation plus recession unfolding amidst what will surely be a brutal political stalemate and cultural upheaval. Then November will come again and with it another round of trust that the new president w...
