US testing “Emergency Alert System” later today
Kit Knightly
The Federal government will be testing its nationwide “Emergency Alert System” (EAS) and “Wireless Emergency Alerts” (WEA) today – Wednesday October 4th – at 2.20pm Eastern time.
The WEA allows the Federal government to send a simultaneous message to every cellphone in the country, regardless of network, supposedly to notify people of emergencies. Unlike the British system, these alerts cannot be turned off.
The EAS affects any device that receives any kind of signal including radios, TVs and computers…

The Passing of the Father of India’s Green Revolution
Colin Todhunter
MS Swaminathan, widely regarded as the father of the Green Revolution in India, recently passed away (28 September) at the age of 98.
An agronomist, agricultural scientist and plant geneticist, Swaminathan played a key role in introducing hybrid high yielding varieties of wheat and rice to India and in encouraging many farmers to adopt high-input, chemical-dependent practices.
The mainstream narrative is that Swaminathan’s collaborative scientific efforts with Norman Borlaug helped save India from famine in the 1960s. Following his death, tributes from high-ranking officials, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and commentators have poured in praising his part…...

No Jab, No Education? Big Pharma’s influence on Irish and British schools
Gavin O’Reilly
Last Thursday it was announced that the southern Irish state would roll out Flu jabs to all schoolchildren under its jurisdiction, despite the fact that children are an age group at absolute minute risk of becoming seriously ill from seasonal illnesses such as Flu and colds.
This comes less than three months after an effectively identical announcement was made by the British government, regarding the rollout of the Flu jab to upwards of three million children in English schools.

Are there children on this street?
Sylvia Shawcross
Come with me again? Yes? It’s just down this slate-coloured street.
The sun so bright in a blue sky and the clouds white. It is not yet noon and the air is crisp and clean, no longer acrid with the smoke of distant fires and the people are there.
They are like leaves in the winds of autumn, rustling and shifting in all those colours on the grey pavement. Sometimes they cluster together but eventually they become a murmuring, like a flock of birds snaking en masse past the quiet buildings where people used to work and…...

REVIEW: Into the Uncanny Valley with Naomi Klein
Geoff Olson
Canadian journalist Naomi Klein’s latest work, Doppelgangers: A Trip Into the Mirror World, is a peculiar mix of personal memoir, postmodern philosophy and historical survey. But it’s largely a brief against the American writer and activist Naomi Wolf and her fellow travelers in the “mirror world” of conspiracy-mongering.
“In my defence, it was never my intent to write this book,” she writes in the introduction. “I did not have time. No one asked me to. And several people strongly cautioned against it.” She should have listened. This isn’t a book that will…...

A few days ago President Biden (or rather the marketing intern manning his account) tweeted that they had created 300,000 jobs in September:
September was another good month for American workers, with 336,000 jobs created and inflation coming down.
That’s nearly 14 million jobs – including 815,000 in manufacturing – created under Bidenomics.

Some Call It Conspiracy Theory – Part 1
Iain Davis
There are certain assumptions that are applied to anyone labelled a “conspiracy theorist”—and all of them are fallacies. Indeed, the term “conspiracy theory” is nothing more than a propaganda construct designed to silence debate and censor opinion on a range of subjects.
Most particularly, it is used as a pejorative to marginalise and discredit whoever challenge the pronouncements and edicts of the State and of the Establishment—that is, the public and private entities that control the State and that profit from the State.

Israel-Hamas “war” – another excuse to shut down free speech
Kit Knightly
As a brand new war-narrative unfolds, there’s already efforts underway to parlay the conflict into tighter controls on free speech and freedom of expression, both in person and on the internet.
The headlines have been filled with nothing but Israel and Hamas since the “surprise attack” on Saturday, with the predictable back and forth of historical grievances and accusations of racism, punctuated by unsubstantiated claims of atrocities.
