Paul D. Thacker reports for RCI that 10 months after the FDA determined that seven adolescents had likely died from mRNA COVID vaccines the agency hasn't warned parents, as a strange-bedfellows mix of political, pharma and media interests appears to have blocked the findings. https://t.co/im8U47nTdU

Fox News: @WedgewoodPolls, which consistently showed Democrats outperforming, often in places where that would have been a surprise, admits to being completely fake.

Their numbers had been cited by the NYT, MSNBC, & other progressive media.

"Our fabricated numbers were given instant credibility across national media platforms," Wedgewood said, "including being cited on air and in reporting."

Operation Warp Speed continues to blind Trump. He can't admit the harm it caused. "President Trump believes his efforts saved millions of lives, and several current and former health officials told RCI they are loath to complicate that narrative."

7/ Sen. Ron Johnson has released FDA internal records. Political interests (Trump’s Warp Speed legacy, Biden mandates, Pharma profits, and compliant media) lined up to suppress the label change. Informed consent failed.

BREAKING: COVID vaccine cover-up.

FDA safety officers found evidence of fatal myocarditis in children after mRNA shots, recommended urgent label warnings—then the findings were buried.

The New York Times helped run the cover.

6/ This is a sharp turnaround for the Times. Decades ago they crusaded for transparency on Vioxx, Avandia, Risperdal, and antidepressant suicide risk in kids—forcing FDA to stop suppressing its own safety officers.
Now they’re protecting the narrative instead of the public. Patient advocates call this out.

One may conclude that, to the extent that a “hybrid war” is being waged against Europe, it is being waged by the EU-NATO establishment itself against its own population, in the form of a prolonged campaign of psychological warfare aimed at inflating the Russian threat.

What is most concerning is the risk that this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. NATO countries continue to enable — through intelligence, satellite and targeting support — Ukrainian deep strikes on Russia, including on civilian infrastructure, and each attack makes Russian retaliation against NATO territory more likely. If and when such an attack comes, it would be framed as an unprovoked escalation of Russia’s ongoing “hybrid war,” leaving little room for European restraint.

This is a classic security dilemma. In such a climate, it would take very little for a “hybrid war” that so far largely exists only on paper to rapidly evolve into a hot war between nuclear-armed powers.

British journalists never reported on their government's direct participation in the Gaza genocide

They were obeying a 'D-Notice' censorship order sent out by the UK military

Criticism of Israel in classrooms to be punished as a terrorist hatecrime. Literally

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

These days, barely a week goes by in Europe without a drone sighting, a fire or a power outage being blamed on Russia. We’re told that these incidents are all part of a relentless, and escalating, “hybrid war” that Moscow is waging against the continent.

But does the evidence support Western claims that Russia is engaged in a systematic hybrid war against Europe? As I argue in my first piece for @RStatecraft, not really.

Most claims of Russian involvement turned out to be establishment-amplified speculation that collapsed under basic scrutiny. In many cases, there is no evidence the incidents themselves actually even happened (drones supposedly swarming European airports, etc.).

So is this just a case of collective panic fuelled by click-addicted media? Or, given that the claims of a Russian “hybrid war” against Europe appear to rest on little more than propaganda, is there a concerted effort by the EU-NATO establishment to condition citizens to believe that Europe is under attack from Russia?

In Italy, the expression “strategy of tension” evokes a dark period, from the late 60s to the early 80s, in which intelligence services and secret paramilitary networks operating under NATO auspices inflated the terrorist threat to frighten the electorate, including by engaging in terrorist acts that in some cases were then blamed on the left. European leaders should be wary of reviving such a strategy.

This is irresponsible amplification of false information attempting to discredit a free and independent press simply for reporting the facts. Our statement replying to @RobertKennedyJr:

Can someone help me understand why the NY Times failed to report that Jack Leslie works for @WeberShandwick, one of the largest PR firms on the planet, whose major clients include most of the global vaccine companies?
