Bacterial Pneumonia Caused Most Deaths in 1918 Influenza Pandemic

James Fetzerblog

NIH.GOV Implications for Future Pandemic Planning The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs. A future…

Jonathan Turley, The Other Scandal of the Capitol Riot

James Fetzerblog

Jonathan Turley Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer captured the outrage of many citizens when he declared the Capitol riot last month to be the Pearl Harbor of this generation that “will live forever in infamy.” It was certainly infamous, but some doubt whether the two events are comparable, given the 2,400 Americans killed in the 1941 attack that forced our entry into World War Two. Schumer’s analogy may be more apt than he might wish, however. Part of Pearl Harbor’s tragedy was that the United States had ample warning and failed to…

Edward Curtin, Opening the CIA’s Can of Worms

James Fetzerblog

Edward Curtin “The CIA and the media are part of the same criminal conspiracy,” wrote Douglas Valentine in his important book, The CIA As Organized Crime. This is true.  The corporate mainstream media are stenographers for the national security state’s ongoing psychological operations aimed at the American people, just as they have done the same for an international audience. We have long been subjected to this “information warfare,” whose purpose is to win the hearts and minds of the American people and pacify them into victims of their own complicity, just…

David Sirota, Cuomo-gate: A Nixonian Scandal Is Engulfing New York

James Fetzerblog

David Sirota Gov. Cuomo is threatening retribution against Dems demanding answers about underreported COVID deaths and his effort to help an industry group shield nursing home execs. The biggest political scandal in America right now is playing out in New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in a lot of trouble — and rightly so. The Democratic governor did not merely wildly mismanage his state’s response to the COVID emergency, while netting himself a lucrative book deal and an Emmy. He did something worse. In the middle of a public health emergency,…

The Superspreaders behind Top COVID-19 Conspiracy Theories

James Fetzerblog

By DAVID KLEPPER, FARNOUSH AMIRI and BEATRICE DUPUY   [Editor’s note: Anyone who has followed the COVID-19 scam–the greatest hoax the world has ever seen, dwarfing the moon landing hoax by many orders of magnitude–may find this attack on some of the COVID skeptics amusing, where. it would be a laughing matter were it not the case that we are enveloped by a massive depopulation program, where masks are killing us slowly, the vaccinations are working faster, and the mass murder will be through starvation, where Bill Gates has been…

“Where The Hell Are We?” – Biden’s CNN Townhall Disaster Ignored By Mainstream Media

James Fetzerblog

BY TYLER DURDEN In his first such public appearance since the campaign, President Biden joined CNN’s Anderson Cooper on stage last night in Milwaukee in a town-hall-style discussion. It did not go well… but you’d never know that if you only read the mainstream media. The president faced no pushback from Mr.Cooper for failing to denounce China’s Uyghur genocide calling it a “cultural norm”, or claims that black or brown ‘folks’ don’t know how to use the internet, that military is fueling the “growth of white supremacy, or the fact that he…

Bought-And-Paid-For: Biden’s Long History Pandering to the Israeli Lobby

James Fetzerblog

By Editors While Democrats accused Donald Trump of being a Russian agent, they don’t seem to care that Biden is a bought-and-paid-for agent of the Israeli lobby. In the late 1980s, Rannie Amiri, an independent commentator on political affairs, challenged then-Senator Joe Biden on his stance toward the Israel-Palestine conflict following a campus speech that Biden gave, asking him: Rather than succumb to the influence of various lobbying groups in Washington, such as AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee—which promotes the views of Israel’s right-wing Likud Party], and the untold amount of…

Paul Craig Roberts, US Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down Law Protecting Israel From Boycotting

James Fetzerblog

Paul Craig Roberts The Israel Lobby spent a lot of money to get corrupt legislatures in 32 states to protect Israel from being boycotted. The laws are in violation of the First Amendment and are being struck down. See: https://www.activistpost.com/2021/02/federal-court-strikes-down-arkansas-attempt-to-punish-proponents-of-boycotting-israel-over-its-treatment-of-palestinians.html  The Lobby’s other shield that protects Israel’s theft of Palestine and murder of Palestinians is the anti-semite smear.  Israel is the only country in the world that equates criticism of the Israeli government with hatred of Israel’s Jewish ethnicity.  It is possible to criticize US government policy without being labeled “anti-American,” but to…
