Fast-Food Graveyard – Sickened for Profit
Colin Todhunter
The modern food system is responsible for making swathes of humanity ill, causing unnecessary suffering and sending many people to an early grave. It is part of a grotesque food-pharma conveyor belt that results in massive profits for the dominant agrifood and pharmaceuticals corporations.
Much of the modern food system has been shaped by big agribusiness concerns like Monsanto (now Bayer) and Cargill, giant food companies like Nestle, Pepsico and Kellog’s and, more recently, institutional investors like BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street.
For the likes of BlackRock, which invests…...

Authoritarian Control Freaks Want to Micromanage Our Lives
John Whitehead
“Man is born free but everywhere is in chains.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Authoritarian control freaks out to micromanage our lives have become the new normal or, to be more accurate, the new abnormal when it comes to how the government relates to the citizenry.
This overbearing despotism, which pre-dates the COVID-19 hysteria, is the very definition of a Nanny State, where government representatives (those elected and appointed to work for us) adopt the authoritarian notion that the government knows best and therefore must control, regulate and dictate almost everything about the citizenry’s public, private and professional lives.…...

Pearl Harbour: Gulf Edition – coming soon?
Gavin O’Reilly
Aircraft carrier USS Dwight D Eisenhower – en route to Israel
Last Saturday, the world looked on as the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, launched Operation Al-Asqa Flood, the largest military incursion into the state of Israel since the 1973 October War, the 50th anniversary of which had occurred just one day beforehand.
Though lauded by many as a legitimate military response to the Israeli occupation, many could also not help but wonder at how Israel, an entity possessing state of the art surveillance equipment and which receives annual funding from the United…...

My Reply to the Religious Zionist with “Tears in His Eyes”
Michael Lesher
Dear Religious Zionist:
Your most recent email to me – in which you ask me to “take a long look in the mirror” because my truth-telling about Israeli atrocities doesn’t square with the warmongering propaganda you’ve chosen to swallow – is both perplexing and revealing.
Of course I know what prompted your message. As we’re all aware, the inmates of the concentration camp called Gaza, after years under an illegal, inhuman siege interspersed with murderous Israeli assaults (which, in previous letters to me, you actually tried to defend) finally rebelled the day before you…...

The Israel-Hamas War is ALREADY Pushing the Great Reset Agenda
Kit Knightly
A few days ago we published an article discussing how the Great Reset agenda is still moving forward behind the scenes, while the headlines are full of Israel-Palestine.
But it’s also true that, in its thirteen days of existence, the war itself has already pushed that agenda forward as well.
Censorship
Normalising the suppression of dissent and creating a culture of fear around free expression are a major part of the Great Reset, after all the other steps are so much easier if you outlaw inconvenient protests.
And, naturally, calls for the suppression of freedom of expression…...

A comment on OffG today:
"So this “war” between the globalists, what’s it about?
If it’s not just about persuading little folks to kill each or to blame other little folks when the globalists drop bombs on them, what is it about? If it’s not just about distracting us while they take away our freedoms what is it about?
If it’s a real war between the globalists and not just them killing little folks like us for shits and giggles and great TV, what are they fighting for?
I mean both “sides” are going for the Great Reset, right? The same rich guys run BRICS and non-BRICS, they all jab their citizens, they all go to the same posh shindigs and send their kids to the same posh schools. Right?
So I mean these are funny “enemies” aren’t they. And they never seem to kill each other. Only us."

Injected Narcissism
Todd Hayen
Along with mRNA coursing through our veins (probably not yours and definitely not mine) there is a good wallop of narcissism. But that didn’t only come with the vaccine; they have been injecting that devil’s honey into our bodies for quite some time.
How? And how does it show up in the world? Well, think about it. It is everywhere. We are now taught to worship our individualism (well, not really, more on that later), our uniqueness (well, not really, more on that later), our specialness (well, not really, more on that later), and our diversity (well,…...

Some Call It Conspiracy Theory – Part 2
Iain Davis
In Part 1 we contrasted the popular misconceptions about so-called “conspiracy theorists” with the well-grounded demographic research done on the individuals who, collectively, have had that pejorative label slapped on them.
The demographic research reveals that there is no such thing as an identifiable group of people who can legitimately be called “conspiracy theorists.”
The research also finds no credible evidence that people branded “conspiracy theorists” are prone to hold extremist views or have underlying psychological problems or pose a threat to democracy. These claims are all canards levelled against anyone who questions the…...

“Peace,War, and 9/11”: A Cinematic Portrait of Graeme MacQueen, A Warrior for Peace
Edward Curtin
It is one thing to read a review of this important and compelling film – a tour de force – and another to watch it.
The former fades into insignificance when one takes an hour-and-a-half to immerse oneself in its tragic yet revelatory story. For in it we see and hear a dying man speak eloquently of how he accepted the role that life brought him – a 9/11 truthteller and peace apostle – and now, as he departs the stage, hopes this last effort will ease his exit and help fulfill his mission as a man…...

Farmers Struggle Far from Over: Corporate Capture of India’s Agri Sector Continues

The ICAR, an apex public sector institution, is responsible for co-ordinating agricultural education and research in India.

Russia’s Sputnik V “Covid vaccine” is now officially useless
Riley Waggaman
Sputnik V no longer protects against COVID-19 and will have to be replaced with an “updated” vaccine, according to Gamaleya Center director Alexander Gintsburg.
The mastermind behind Russia’s flagship shot claimed in a recent interview that Sputnik V had been effective against COVID-19 “from August 2020 until somewhere around July 2022,” but that the experimental genetic drug—developed in cooperation with AstraZeneca—was no match for newer “variants”.
“Starting from mid-summer 2022, when Omicron 1, 2 and 3 variants appeared, Sputnik V’s efficacy dropped eight times. When Omicron 4 and 5 appeared, efficiency dropped by a…...
