Pennsylvania had formal political parties before any other American colony, featuring two political party systems:

County Party (rural farmers and artisan Quakers) vs Proprietary Party (William Penn and the coastal Quakers, supporters of the old proprietary colonial charter) (1701 to 1718)

Quaker Party (supporters of the old Quaker elite and German Pietists) vs Gentlemen’s Party (William Penn’s Anglican sons, coastal merchants, and Scots-Irish frontiersmen) (1740s to 1776)

The Revolutionary War resulted in the pacifist Pennsylvania Quakers retreating from politics altogether. After Independence, the Federalist vs Antifederalist political party system reigned.

As if this wasn't obvious

"IAEA chief Rafael Grossi refuted evidence showing the radiological effects of depleted uranium shells after the latest US military package to Kiev included more controversial munitions.

In Serbia, where depleted uranium was used during NATO’s bombing campaign, military officials are still reporting an increase in cancer and other related pathologies among the Albanian population of Kosovo and Metohija.

At least nine Italian soldiers who served in the Balkans in the 1990s died from leukemia. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of US troops were exposed to depleted uranium in Iraq, many of whom linked Gulf War syndrome to their exposure."

Reclaiming Their Name

“When someone conquers you, the first thing they will do is change your name. This is the technology of dominance, the technology of enslavement.” India is the colonial-era name for the subcontinental state. Hindoo – Hindustan – Industan – India. Hence the choice to adopt Bharat as the name for their country is an expression […]

The US took over the cultural destruction and attempted replacement set off by the Protestant revolution, especially in England.

My husband spent 4 years in the Navy. He joined because the grandfather he adored was in the Navy (we have his flag and Iwo Jima hat in our home), and his own father was talked out of joining. The disillusionment that young men go through via the military is horrendous. Even growing up in Babylon (actual modern Babylon, since he spent a lot of time in Southern California and Las Vegas), he was still unhappy to see the debauchery of the Navy. If a woman wasn't a slobbish whore, she was usually a slobbish lesbian, and if a decent girl joined the ship, the men tried to protect her from becoming like the other women.

The corruption was terrible, too. His department had been notoriously dysfunctional for a while, in no small part due to a former head who had just retired. In my husband's time, they were getting better, but then a serious mistake he made in response to another person who was CONSTANTLY a problem led to my husband being scapegoated for the whole department. They had been watching for someone to mess up badly enough to use as an excuse to revamp everything rather than just fixing it.

Add onto that, he learned that even though he never saw combat, he was still part of a giant cartel operation to obtain opium from the Middle East. That last mythology break, he says, is one of if not the worst. Everything you did or could have done turns out to have been for drugs. The same drugs those young men start taking to deal with the pain (mental, physical, and spiritual) and despair of the shattered myth before they die of an accidental overdose or suicide. Thankfully, he pulled through that darkness, but he still has former Navy buddies he worries about and wonders if they're still alive.

US Intelligence Censored over Scientists’ Findings on Likely Origins of COVID-19

Buried away inside one of the US intelligence agencies’ secret laboratories, a group of eminent scientists examined the structure of Covid-19 in order to determine its origin.

At the same time, another group of scientists, these ones happy to shape public opinion via social media, were fashioning a very different narrative, determined to turn the world’s gaze from the experimental lab in the middle of the ground-zero city – Wuhan.

While Anthony Fauci and his like-minded scientific foot-­soldiers were quickly latching on to and publicly endorsing a theory that the virus had a natural origin, keenly dismissing any talk of a lab leak as a conspiracy, these other, far less conspicuous scientists were quietly reaching a conclusion that was poles apart.

The scientists who wrote what is regarded as the seminal research on the natural origin theory – the Proximal Origins paper – have ­received global recognition, some amassing hundreds of thousands of social media followers.

But the scientists at the ­Defence ­Intelligence Agency’s National Centre for Medical Intelligence (NCMI) remain unknown and their endeavours to uncover the origins of Covid-19 have gone publicly unrecognised.

Worse, there have even been attempts, at the highest levels of the US government to censor them and keep their discoveries secret.

Unlike the Proximal Origins paper, downloaded and cited millions of times, their papers – some top secret, others unclassified – ­remain tucked away behind the impenetrable walls of Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Today, for the first time, we hear their extraordinary story and reveal the lengths taken to hide from the public their categorical discovery and scientific conclusions. Sources familiar with the work that unfolded inside the ­intelligence agency and the scientists’ interactions with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence spoke to The Australian for this investigation....

Stripped of scientific complexity, these highly experienced ­researchers conclude that Covid-19 was almost certainly the result of experiments in a lab, and was not of natural origin as the world has been led to believe
.
They made a discovery that was ­described internally as a smoking gun.

"No Evidence of X"

"No evidence of X" is a common headline format but an argument from ignorance. Asserting a claim is true or false based on the absence of evidence, rather than positive evidence of the claim, is not a valid inference. "No evidence of X" is something that sounds definitive but means nothing, and this has been a ubiquitous narrative-shaping 'fact check' tool in the arsenal of the system for some time.

It is a well-established fact that Depleted Uranium (DU) is radioactive, and radioactivity is known to cause cancer by emitting high-energy particles that damage DNA. Therefore, one can conclude with very linear reasoning that if humans were significantly exposed to DU, it would lead to cancer. The mode of exposure and the magnitude of the effect could be studied, but it is true that DU has the potential to cause cancer.

Other examples of this include headlines early in the vaccination campaign claiming there was "no evidence" of a link between Covid vaccination and period irregularities, something there is now plenty of positive evidence for (beyond the many thousands of testimonies at the time).
