1. Hamas ready to join Palestinian ‘national army’ if statehood achieved: Official

The Cradle | April 25, 2024

Senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya said in an interview published on 25 April that the group could potentially join forces with a Palestinian national army in the event that Palestine is recognized as a state.

"All the experiences of people who fought against occupiers, when they became independent and obtained their rights and their state, what have these forces done? They have turned into political parties and their defending fighting forces have turned into the national army," Hayya told AP.

He also said that Hamas would be willing to join the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and form a unified government for Gaza and the West Bank with the Palestinian Authority's (PA) Fatah party, on the condition of a "fully sovereign Palestinian state" on pre-1967 borders and "the return of Palestinian refugees in accordance with the international resolutions."

He added that Hamas would be willing to "live in a state and establish a ceasefire for five years or more in order to live in security."

Hayya said that Hamas has offered this solution repeatedly over the years.

"Today, Israel has hit the resistance with great blows, but has not ended it … they have not destroyed more than 20 percent of its capabilities … If they can't finish [Hamas] off, what is the solution? The solution is to go to consensus."

Israel vowed to destroy Hamas and all its combat capabilities at the start of the war but has so far failed to achieve this goal. The Israeli army is now planning to invade the overcrowded southern city of Rafah, which it says is Hamas' last stronghold. Nonetheless, the resistance group remains entrenched across Gaza with several other factions.

The US has been pushing the idea of a 'reformed' PA assuming control over post-war Gaza. The plan, which Hamas has rejected, would depend on the resistance group's defeat and the end of its political leadership in the strip.

Washington recently vetoed a resolution for the recognition of Palestine as a full UN member state.

Dozens of Israeli prisoners, including high-ranking army officers, are still being held by Hamas' military wing, the Qassam Brigades.

The interview comes as truce negotiations remain stalemated by Israel's repeated rejection of Hamas' main terms, which the resistance group continues to hold fast. These terms include an end to the war and a permanent ceasefire, a withdrawal of all troops from Gaza, a return of the displaced to their homes, and reconstruction of the strip.

"If we are not assured the war will end, why would we hand over the prisoners?" Hayya told AP.

2. Palestinians ‘buried alive’ by Israeli army in Nasser Hospital mass graves

The Cradle | April 25, 2024

Officials from Gaza's Civil Defense Department announced on 25 April that 392 bodies have been unearthed from three mass graves discovered at the Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Yunis, with some showing signs of having been buried alive.

"We need forensic examination for approximately 20 bodies for people who we think were buried alive in the Nasser Medical Complex," Palestinian Civil Defence member Mohammed Mughier told reporters on Thursday, adding that some were the bodies of children.

"Why do we have children in mass graves?" he added, stressing that the evidence shows the Israeli army committed "crimes against humanity."

Ten of the bodies unearthed had their hands bound, while others still had medical tubes attached to them.

"There are indications of carrying out field executions against some of the victims, while the bodies of other victims carried signs of torture and others were buried alive," officials from Gaza's Civil Defense Department said during a press conference.

"Several victims were buried in plastic bags and placed at a depth of three meters, which accelerated their decomposition," the officials added.

The mass graves were discovered after the Israeli army withdrew from Khan Yunis on 7 April following a four-month raid of the city that decimated most infrastructure and left thousands dead.

Gaza officials have previously stressed that the Israeli army uses forced disappearance as a systematic policy against the people of the strip, highlighting that thousands of Palestinians are still missing.

"Some of the bodies found have evaporated and turned to ash. International institutions must identify the type of weapons used [by Israel]," the Civil Defense Department said earlier this week. "We found in the Nasser Complex corpses without heads and bodies without skins, and some of them had their organs stolen," Gaza's Government Media Office office also revealed.

Hundreds of bodies were recently recovered in the northern Gaza Strip, particularly in and around Al-Shifa Hospital, where Israeli troops launched a bloody and destructive military operation lasting from 18 March until 1 April.

On Wednesday, UN Secretary-General Spokesman Stéphane Dujarric called on a "clear, transparent and credible investigation" into the mass graves found in the Gaza Strip.

3. US Pays Lip Service to Palestinians’ Plight While Arming Israel

Sputnik – 25.04.2024

US President Joe Biden authorized providing some $15 billion worth of military supplies to Israel this week.

While the United States has repeatedly voiced concerns about the massive civilian casualties caused by the ongoing Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, it does not deter Washington from sending military supplies to Tel Aviv, essentially helping Israel wage this campaign.

The latest multibillion-dollar package for Israel comes as the Israeli military leadership appears intent to attack Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza Strip that is currently densely packed with refugees who fled from other parts of the Palestinian enclave ravaged by the Israeli invasion.

Although Biden reportedly warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month that an assault on Rafah would be a mistake, the White House does not seem keen to actually prevent Tel Aviv from carrying out this attack – which is likely to result in a large number of civilian casualties.

Earlier this month, CNN reported that the Biden administration authorized the transfer of some 1,000 MK82 bombs and an equal number of small-diameter bombs, apparently undaunted by the fact that the Israeli military seems rather keen to flatten buildings across the Gaza Strip via airstrikes.

The US leadership also seems unperturbed – or at least unperturbed enough to halt the military supplies to Israel or, heaven forbid, impose sanctions on Tel Aviv – by occurrences such as the Israeli airstrike on a humanitarian convoy in the Gaza Strip, which killed seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen food relief NGO.

4. Booed at Columbia University, Johnson warns to bring National Guard to quell pro-Palestine protests

Press TV – April 25, 2024

House Speaker Mike Johnson has threatened to use National Guard against students' pro-Palestinian protests at US universities as he got booed and heckled at Columbia University.

Following a meeting with Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, the Republican speaker of the US House of Representatives along with a group of Republican House members urged Shafik to step down if she fails to control Gaza war demonstrations on campus during a press briefing at Low Library on Wednesday.

Johnson was joined by GOP Reps. Mike Lawler, Nicole Malliotakis and Anthony D'Esposito, all from New York, and Virginia Foxx of North Carolina.

"We just can't allow this kind of hatred and anti-Semitism to flourish on our campuses. And it must be stopped in its tracks. Those who are perpetrating this violence should be arrested," he said, accusing protesters of chasing down Jewish students and harassing them.

Students chanted "Free Palestine" and heckled and loudly booed Johnson and demanded his return to Washington DC, with the noise of protesters almost overpowering his speech.

Johnson, who also met with Jewish students before his remarks, said that he plans to urge US President Joe Biden to take executive action against the protests if necessary, adding, "If this is not contained quickly, and if these threats and intimidation are not stopped, there is an appropriate time for the National Guard."

Protesters shouted "stop the genocide" as other Republican leaders spoke. The Republicans accused protesters of being part of the problem and supporting the resistance movements of Hamas and Hezbollah.

New York Democrats criticize Johnson for "politicizing" the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests in Columbia, with Gov. Kathy Hochul stating that the presence of an entourage is exacerbating the division.

Johnson said in an interview after his speech that he respects the right to protest, but that he thought the students on campus had crossed into harassment.

Pro-Palestinian academic activism has grown significantly across the US since the onset of the Israeli regime's US-backed war of genocide against the Gaza Strip.

Starting from the Colombia University in New York, protest encampments with a unified demand that their schools cut financial ties to Israel have been spread across the country. Demonstrations have been held in many universities such as Harvard, MIT, UT and other universities in Michigan, Minnesota and Colombia.

They are calling for universities to distance themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel's savage military campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Johnson's speech came hours after Biden officially signed into law a long-awaited foreign aid bill for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan that had faced considerable delays in the House due to political gridlock.

The new package will provide $26 billion for the Israeli regime, which has been engaged in a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip since last October.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the billions of dollars in US assistance, writing on X that it "demonstrates strong bipartisan support for Israel."

5. Poland ready to help Ukraine hunt down military-aged men

RT | April 25, 2024

Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz has said that Warsaw would be willing to "help" Kiev repatriate men of fighting age, an unspecified portion of some 950,000 Ukrainians granted temporary sanctuary in Poland.

Earlier this week, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry banned all men between the age of 18 and 60 from getting or renewing their documents, including passports, at consular offices outside of the country. The Polish defense chief told the Polsat broadcaster on Wednesday that he was "not surprised" and supports Kiev's move.

"The Ukrainian authorities are doing everything to provide new soldiers to the front, because the needs are huge," Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said.

The Polish official said that Warsaw had previously offered to help Kiev track down those who dodge their "civic duty," but noted that "the form of assistance depends on the Ukrainian side."

"I think that many of our compatriots were and are outraged when they see young Ukrainian men in cafes and hear about how much effort it takes us to help Ukraine," he added. Kosiniak-Kamysz also echoed Kiev's official narrative that Ukrainians who could not avoid the draft have "justified grievances against their peers who have scattered around the world."

Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba claimed on Tuesday that the decision to strip Ukrainian men of their rights was "fair" and in line with the controversial military mobilization reforms, which President Vladimir Zelensky signed into law this month.

Zelensky's reforms, set to come into force next month, will lower the draft age from 27 to 25, tighten exemptions and oblige all men, regardless of eligibility, to report to a conscription office to "update" their personal data.

According to EU officials, an estimated 650,000 Ukrainian men of fighting age are living in the bloc. Kiev has identified that pool as a significant untapped source of manpower for the armed forces. However, asked in early April how many troops Kiev intended to mobilize, Zelensky dodged the question.

6. Andrew Bridgen – UK Parliament Speech On Excess Deaths – April 18, 2024

You can watch the entire debate here.

Mr Bridgen's speech in full

Thank you, Mr Speaker,

We are witnesses to the greatest medical scandal in this country in living memory and possibly ever.

The excess deaths in 2022 and 2023 is that scandal.

Its causes are complex but the novel and untested medical treatment described as a "covid vaccine" is a large part of the problem.

I have been called an anti-vaxxer as if I have rejected these vaccines based on an ideology.

I want to state clearly and unequivocally that I have not. I am, in fact, double vaccinated.

Intelligent people must be able to distinguish between being anti-vax and pro-vax but against a product that a) doesn't work and b) causes enormous harm to a small percentage of people.

I am proud to be one of the few members of parliament with a science degree. It is a great shame there is not more intellectual diversity here. Maybe if there was, there would be less reliance on the Whips Office's briefings, more independent research and less groupthink.

I am used to raising issues in this House that no one cares about and no one wants to know about.

Nothing has been learned from the Post Office scandal.

Only two of the five MPs in the room when the Second Sight team were appointed, on my recommendation, to investigate the post office are still in the House of Commons. I am one of them. Michael Rudkin, the national sub-postmaster Federation Chairman who famously saw the live Horizon terminals in the basement of Fujitsu HQ was my constituent.

I have been fighting his corner in this House for many many years. Long before that scandal became national news. Long long before. I was mostly ignored.

I am being ignored again, this time on the issue of excess deaths.

Yet again, the official narrative is to deny, obfuscate, ridicule and silence dissenting voices.

I say to the House, and I say it with seriousness, this debate – and others like it proposed by me and others – are going to be pored over by future generations.

They will be genuinely agog that the evidence was ignored, that genuine concerns were disregarded and that those raising it were gaslit, smeared and vilified.

The excess deaths scandal bears an uncanny resemblance to the Post Office catastrophe

Both involve:

• Complacent public bodies
• Ministers unable to understand the technicalities and mouthing platitudes
• Malevolent corporations with a vested interest in silencing questions
• Lives ruined by greed, lies and corruption
• Most damaging of all is a culture of denial, obfuscation, secrecy and denigration
• Much of the harm was avoidable

You don't need to have any scientific training to be horrified by officials deliberately hiding key data in this scandal.

The Covid-19 experimental 'vaccine' is a scandal that is happening right now, today, and it must end.

The Office of National Statistics used to release weekly data on deaths per 100,000 in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.

Now it doesn't. No one will explain why.

The public has a right to that data.

There have been calls – from serious experts whose requests I have amplified repeatedly in this House – for what is called "record-level data" to be anonymised and disclosed.

This data will allow meaningful analysis of deaths after vaccination and settle the issue of whether these experimental treatments are responsible for the increase in excess deaths.

Far more extensive and detailed data has been released to the pharma companies from publicly funded bodies. Jenny Harries, head of the UKHSA, said this anonymised aggregate death by vaccination status is "commercially sensitive" and shouldn't be published.

The public is being denied this same data.

Yet again data is hidden with impunity. Just like the Post Office.

You may remember Professor Dame Jenny Harries, who in July 2022, said that masking was a good idea – and I quote, "If I've got any respiratory infection it's a good thing to do, and I think it's a new lesson for the country."

She earlier gave the following totally contradictory advice: "The virus will not survive very long outside. Many outdoor events, particularly, are relatively safe."

On 11th March 2020 on the issue of masks, she said, "It's really not a good idea and doesn't help," and "in some ways, you may actually risk catching the disease rather than preventing it."

She was right then. What made her do a U-turn on all these critical points?

Professor Harries has also endorsed a recent massive change in the calculation of the baseline population level used by the ONS to calculate 'excess deaths'. It is incredibly complex and opaque and by sheer coincidence, it now appears to show a massive excess in deaths in 2020 and 2021 and minimal excess deaths in 2023.

Under the old calculation method, tried and tested for decades, the excess death rate in 2023 was an astonishing 5%, long after the pandemic was over and when you would expect a deficit in deaths because so many people died early in previous years.

20,000 premature deaths are now being airbrushed away in 2023 alone with the "new normal" baseline.

Fear

What is even more shocking is the sheer number of mistakes and scandals in this ongoing horror story.

For example, in March 2020, the government conducted a consultation exercise on whether people over a certain age or with disabilities should have Do Not Resuscitate orders imposed on them, known as DNRs.

A document summarising the proposals was circulated to doctors and hospitals. This was mistakenly treated as formal policy by a number of care homes and GPs up and down the country who enacted it.

At the same time, multiple hospitals introduced a policy that they would not admit patients with Do Not Resuscitate orders because they thought they would be overwhelmed.

Many people died as a result who did not need to, as nurses did TikTok videos while their hospitals lay empty.

Another example:

Fear kills. It kills because people don't seek needed medical care for fear of the virus, a virus which has a 99.8% survival rate.

It kills because it has been proven that increased stress can suppress the immune system or even be fatal in vulnerable people.

It kills because people who were trying to get care were told to isolate.

It kills because frightened staff were too eager to ventilate to reduce aerosols in the ward.

It kills because isolated, vulnerable and elderly people are abandoned by family and friends.

It's not just patients who are frightened. Doctors are frightened too. Frightened for their careers. Frightened for their reputation. Frightened of the GMC. Frightened to do anything not prescribed by the authorities who set the protocols.

There have been many doctors and scientists who have bravely spoken out on this, risking their careers and livelihoods, people like Dr Aseem Malhotra, Professor Norman Fenton, Dr David Cartland and Professor Angus Dalgleish to name but a few. Not to forget all of the team at the Hart Group including Dr Clare Craig, who has been so instrumental in helping me put together this speech today.

Another example is that during Covid, doctors failed to call out a dangerous change in protocol. The average time to death from covid symptoms starting was 18 days.

It is a little-known fact that the body clears all the virus within around 7 days.

What kills people is that some people, especially the vulnerable, have an excessive immune response.

Doctors have been treating this for decades with steroids, antibiotics for secondary pneumonia infections and other standard protocols.

But, not this time.

Even though the virus was long gone, doctors abandoned the standard clinical protocols because covid was a new virus.

They sent people home and told them to take paracetamol until their lips turned blue.

Then they sedated them, put them on ventilators and watched them die.

It gets worse, the protocol was a binary choice between two treatment tracks. Once admitted, ill patients were either to be ventilated in intensive care or, if they were not fit for that level of care, they were to be given end-of-life medication including Midazolam and Morphine.

The body responsible for this protocol – NG163 which was published on 3rd April 2020 – is called the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence – NICE.

Giving Midazolam and Morphine to people dying of cancer is reasonable but they have a side effect. The side effect is that these drugs have a respiratory depressant effect.

It is hard to imagine a more stupid idea than to give people struggling to breathe, drugs that do that. Yet that's what they did.

Why was the warning letter regarding the use of Midazolam in NICE guideline NG163 to the British Medical Journal on 19th May 2020 signed by two Professors and nine Doctors ignored? Especially as it would seem it's a replica of Abolished Liverpool Care Pathway in dosages and combined use of Midazolam plus an opioid.

NG163 stated that a blanket start dose of 2.5 mg of Midazolam should be injected regardless of age, body weight and comorbidities, how can this be medically acceptable as results show titration was not possible at such a dose for many elderly and who authorised it?

Why was Midazolam then removed from the same updated guideline NG191 on 30th November 2023? (As it was removed is it now considered and admitted it was a mistake to ignore the warning of the inclusion of that specific drug in NG163)?

It's now been confirmed by subsequent letters from Ministers to families that doctors and nurses should have treated the individual patient with their own knowledge rather than strictly follow NICE guideline NG163 (as suggested by Quince and Stephenson) so if the warning letter from 11 experts to the BMJ was correct is the blame with NICE, NHS England or individual doctors and nurses, should legal action find verdicts of unlawful killing?

I would like to pay tribute to the Scottish Covid Inquiry which is hearing extensive, heartbreaking evidence of the effect of this alternative protocol on real people, real lives and sadly real and unnecessary deaths. People scared. People angry. People dying. People gasping for their lives away who might have been saved.

I very much hope that the eventual Scottish Inquiry Report addresses in detail the NICE  decision making on the alternative protocols for those with Covid.

All these deaths were ascribed by the government to covid as if no other factors needed to be investigated.

But this is one example of a scandal that if it wasn't for the Scottish Inquiry would never be investigated and never learned from.

Anyone who raised this problem during the pandemic was smeared as a covid denier.

Even worse

NICE has now removed these alternative protocols from its website. All other old protocols are still there for historical reference.

Why have NICE removed this protocol from their website? Are they ashamed of the harm they caused?

They certainly should be.

What can we learn from this? Doctors don't challenge what they are told. Protocols with no authors are distributed and doctors fall in line.

We need doctors who are prepared to put their necks on the line for the sake of their patients, but we don't have them and the whole system is broken as a result.

Here is another example.

Not a single death certificate was written saying that death was due to the rare brain clots caused by AstraZeneca until the MHRA said there was a link. Then the death certificates started to trickle in.

That's not the scandal.

The scandal is that doctors wait for authorities to tell them they could label a death as vaccine-linked before they will do it. They are afraid of being smeared or reported to the GMC.

In the meantime, the MHRA relies on the evidence from death certificates in order to identify a problem.

That's the scandal.

It wasn't until other countries and public and political pressure FORCED the MHRA to admit the link between vaccines and blood clots causing death that they finally admitted it. And THEN doctors started putting it on death certificates.

There is a stark contrast in how deaths and illnesses after vaccination have been recorded compared to Covid. After a positive test, any illness and any death was attributed to the virus. After the experimental and emergency-use vaccine, no illness and no death occurred. Both are totally unscientific approaches. That is why we have to look to other data sources – excess deaths to determine if there is an issue.

Safe and Effective

The fear deliberately stoked by the government promoted the idea of being rescued by a saviour vaccine. The chanting of the safe and effective narrative began. The phrase seems to have hypnotised the nation.

"Safe and Effective" was the slogan used to market Thalidomide.

After that scandal rules were put in place to prevent such marketing in future. Pharma companies are prohibited from saying "safe and effective" without significant caveats.

That didn't matter this time because the media, the government and authorities turned into the pharma marketing department.

It is hard to now hear the word safe without the echo of "and effective".

But they are not safe and effective. In March 2021, when the majority of UK citizens had already received these novel products, Pfizer signed a contract with Brazil  and South Africa in which they said, "the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and … adverse effects of the Vaccine… are not currently known."

These so-called vaccines were the least effective vaccines ever. Is there anyone left under the illusion that they prevented any infections?

Yet, even the Prime Minister now has one eye on history.

When he was at the dispatch box on 31st January at PMQs, following my question, he could not bring himself to add "and effective" to his "safe" mantra that the vaccines were safe.

Why is the Prime Minister gaslighting the 163 successful claims made to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme totalling an incredible £19.5m in compensation for harm caused by the Covid vaccines? Haven't they suffered enough already? Those 163 are the tip of the iceberg by the way.

It should be noted that the maximum payment is £120,000. So each of those 163 got the maximum possible award, which tells you something perhaps.

That same compensation scheme paid out a total of £3.5m between 1997-2005 with an average of 8 claims per year. That's for ALL other claims in the entire country for all vaccines.

So much for 'safe'.

How about effective?

Even by 25th October 2021, the former Prime Minister and Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip even admitted that, and again, I quote, "It doesn't protect you against catching the disease, and it doesn't protect you against passing it on."

Looking at the levels of the virus in sewage shows that the post-vaccine wave was in the same order of magnitude and duration as the previous waves.

Vaccines changed nothing. They were not safe. And they were not effective.

Those who imposed these vaccines knew full well they could never prevent infections in this kind of disease.

An injection in the arm cannot do that. Only immunity on the surface of the airway and lungs can prevent viral infection. Antibodies in the blood cannot.

In Dr Anthony Fauci's own words, "It is not surprising that none of the predominantly mucosal respiratory viruses has ever been effectively controlled by vaccines"

He continued, "This observation raises a question of fundamental importance: if natural mucosal respiratory virus infections do not elicit complete and long-term protective immunity against reinfection, how can we expect vaccines, especially systemically administered non-replicating vaccines to do so"

The mantra of "safe and effective" has so brainwashed some people that we now have the outrageous situation where the loving mother of a 24 year old man, who had the mental age of an 18 month old has been threatened in court with jail time, by a lawyer charged with representing her son's best interests, because she does not want him vaccinated.

He has had covid meaning he has the optimum possible protection against a subsequent infection already.

The judge has used the argument that Tom would choose to be vaccinated for altruistic reasons but the court has a duty to act in his best interests not the interests of society.

Altruism means taking vaccinations to help others. But, these vaccines do not protect others! They do not prevent infection. Why is our system persecuting this mother? What are they hoping to achieve?

Only a few days ago, the ABPI, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry rapped Pfizer on the knuckles for the sixth time and said their marketing practices had brought the industry into disrepute. They were asked to pay £30,000 in administrative expenses with no fine on top. The person heading the ABPI at the moment is also the head of Pfizer UK. The MHRA have a statutory duty to carry out this work and has handed the responsibility over to the industry itself. This is an outrageous conflict of interest.

Another drug produced by Pfizer was Paxlovid designed to supposedly treat Covid. It was approved in December 2021.

Pfizer this week revealed the trial results for Paxlovid that had been hidden for two years.

The study showed that Paxlovid did not work to reduce illness.

Worse still, it caused rebound infections in 25% of those treated.

Worse still it causes serious drug interactions and other side effects.

Will Pfizer be held accountable for this? I am not holding my breath.

Australia

But let's return to excess deaths. The Australian government has launched an Inquiry into their excess death problem.

Australia is almost unique as a case study for excess deaths. They had the vaccine before they had Covid.

Their excess deaths are not so easily blamed on the long-term effects of a virus. Like us, they saw a rise in deaths that began in May 2021 and has not let up since. The impact was evident on the ambulance service first.

South Australia saw a 67% increase in cardiac presentations of 15-44 year olds which peaked in November 2021 before covid hit.

We saw a similar deeply worrying effect here too:

Calls for life-threatening emergencies in the UK rose from 2000 per day to 2500 per day in May 2021 and it has not returned to normal.

Queensland doctors called the problem a "ticking time bomb" in April 2021 and described a "flood of patients." ⁶⁹

By October 2021, despite it being springtime in Australia headlines reported on ambulances unable to drop off patients in hospitals that were at full capacity.⁶⁷

Mark McGowan, Premier of Western Australia, said he could not explain the overwhelmed hospitals, "Our hospitals are under enormous pressure. This has been something no one has ever seen before. Why it is, is hard to know."⁶⁸

By April 2022, Yvette D'ath Queensland health minister said about the most urgent ambulance calls ("code ones"), QUOTE: "I don't think anyone can explain why we saw a  40% jump in code ones… We just had a lot of heart attacks and chest pains and trouble breathing, respiratory issues. Sometimes you can't explain why those things happen but unfortunately, they do."⁷⁰

Omicron caused excess deaths in Australia from 2022 onwards, however, there is a huge chunk of excess deaths which doctors have not been able to blame on the virus.

Could these deaths be caused by the vaccine? Very few dare ask, Mr Speaker.

Remember the warning from Kate Bingham, head of the covid vaccine task force, who said in October 2020 that vaccinating healthy people who have little risk from covid "could cause them some freak harm."

Has there been some freak harm? The data on disability claimants would suggest the answer is yes! Both here and in the USA there was a rocket in the number of working-aged people unable to work because of long-term sickness. The increase began in May 2021. Thankfully these figures have stopped climbing here and in the USA in 2023.

The timing, or temporal link, suggests vaccines as the cause rather than the virus.

A rise in sickness and a rise in deaths that both occurred from May 2021 in Australia and in the UK despite their seasonal differences and despite their different covid trajectories is highly suggestive that vaccines are the underlying problem here.

It is important to remember how these vaccines were made. Traditionally the key to making a vaccine is to ensure that the pathological parts of the virus or bacteria are inactivated so the recipient can develop an immune response without the dangers of the disease.

In stark contrast, these so-called covid vaccines used the most pathological part of the virus in its entirety.

The harm is systemic because, contrary to what everyone was told, the lipid nanoparticles spread throughout the whole body after injection, potentially affecting all organs. At the time everyone was being reassured that the injection was broken down within the arm at the injection site, regulators knew or ought to have known of these problems.

Furthermore, there is now plentiful evidence that the drug results in continued protein production for many months, even years, in some people. The deaths, thus far have been predominantly cardiac. but there may be more deaths to come.

Cancer

Dr Robert Tindle is the retired director of the Clinical Medical Virology Centre in Brisbane and Emeritus Professor in Immunology.

This month Dr Tindle published a paper highlighting the multiple potential harms from the vaccines including harm to the immune system which – as with anything which disrupts the immune system – can potentially increase the risk of cancer.

There are other reasons to be concerned about cancer being induced by these vaccines.

Cancer is a genetic disease that arises from errors in DNA allowing cells to grow uncontrollably.

Moderna has multiple patents describing methods for reducing the risk of cancer induction from their mRNA products.

This risk comes from material interrupting the patient's DNA.

It turns out that what we were told was an mRNA injection actually had very high quantities of DNA in it. This massively increases the risk of disturbing a patient's own DNA.

Worse still the DNA that was injected contained sequences that were hidden from the regulator. This was no accident. Yet again crucial information was hidden with impunity.

Conclusion

The evidence is clear that these vaccines have caused deaths.

Despite this, they have been described as safe and effective.

But, for a small proportion of people, the vaccines have caused serious harm including death.

Neither are they effective. The vaccine does not prevent infection or transmission and when the data is looked at objectively, it does not prevent serious illness and death.

These are hard truths to face.

We must face them if we want to learn the lessons from the last few years.

I've been right before.

At some point that will be evident. Let's not wait as long as the post office scandal before we admit it.

It is time to take the politics out of science and put some actual science back into politics.

So, Mr Speaker, I offer Members of this House the same opportunity which I offered the Prime Minister: 'To be on the right side of history, the right side of science and on the side of the people.'

Sadly, given the PM's compromised position regarding his investments in big pharma, he only dug himself an even bigger hole!

I wish I was wrong about the experimental vaccines but the evidence was overwhelming 18 months ago it is absolutely unequivocal now.

I call on this House to do the right thing and protect our constituents, even if it means standing up to the most powerful vested interest in the world.

7. From Bird Flu to Climate Snakes

By Breeauna Sagdal | Brownstone Institute | April 24, 2024

Seasoned veterinarians and livestock producers alike have been scratching their heads trying to understand the media's response to the avian flu. Headlines across every major news outlet warn of humans becoming infected with the "deadly" bird flu after one reported case of pink-eye in a human.

The entire narrative is predicated upon a long-disputed claim that Covid-19 was the result of a zoonotic jump—the famed Wuhan bat wet-market theory.

While the source of Covid is hotly contested within the scientific community, the policy vehicle at the center of this dialectic began years prior to Sars-CoV-2 and is quite resolute in force and effect.

In 2016, the Gates Foundation donated to the World Health Organization to create the OneHealth Initiative. Since 2020, the CDC has adopted and implemented the OneHealth Initiative to build a "collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment."

In the aftermath of Covid-19, the OneHealth Initiative began taking shape, due largely in part to millions of tax dollars appropriated through ARP (American Rescue Plan) funding.

Through its APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Investigation System) the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) was given $300 million in 2021 to begin implementing "a risk-based, comprehensive, integrated disease monitoring and surveillance system domestically…to build additional capacity for zoonotic disease surveillance and prevention," globally.

"The One Health concept recognizes that the health of people, animals, and the environment are all linked," said USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Jenny Lester Moffitt.

According to the USDA's press release, the Biden-Harris administration's OneHealth approach will also help to ensure "new markets and streams of income for farmers and producers using climate smart food and forestry practices," by "making historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy capabilities in rural America."

In other words, the federal government is using regulatory enforcement to intervene in the marketplace, in addition to subsidizing corporations with tax dollars to direct a planned economic outcome—ending meat consumption.

Climate-Smart Commodities – Planning the Economy through Subsidized Intervention

Under the recently announced Climate-Smart Commodities program, the USDA has appropriated $3.1 billion in tax subsidies to one hundred and forty-one new private Climate-Smart projects, ranging from carbon sequestration to Climate-Smart meat and forestry practices.

Private investors such as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos – who just committed $1 billion to the development of lab cultured meat-like molds, and meat grown in petri dishes, to

Ballpark, formerly known for its hot dogs but is now harvesting python meat, is rushing to cash in on this new industry, and the OneHealth/USDA certification program.

Culling The Herd – Regulatory Intervention in the Marketplace 

Meanwhile, the last vestiges of America's food freedom and decentralized food sources are quietly being targeted by the full force of the federal government.

The once voluntary APHIS System is poised to become the mandatory APHIS-15, which among many other changes, "the system will be renamed Animal Health, Disease, and Pest Surveillance and Management System, USDA/APHIS-15. This system is used by APHIS to collect, manage, and evaluate animal health data for disease and pest control and surveillance programs."

Among those "many changes" that APHIS-15 is undergoing, one should be of particular interest to the public—the removal of all references to the voluntary* Bovine Johne's Disease Control Program.

"Updating the authority for maintenance of the system to remove reference to the Bovine Johne's Disease Control Program."

In addition to removing references to the once-voluntary herd culling program, the USDA is also implementing mandatory RFID ear tags in cattle and bison.

According to the USDA/APHIS-15, expanded authority places disease tracing in their jurisdiction and the radio frequency ear tags are necessary for the "rapid and accurate recordkeeping for this volume of animals and movement," which they say "is not achievable without electronic systems."

The notice clearly spells out that RFID tags "may be read without restraint as the animal goes past an electronic reader."

"Once the reader scans the tag, the electronically collected tag number can be rapidly and accurately transmitted from the reader to a connected electronic database."

However, industry leaders and lawmakers alike have said the database will be used to track vaccination history and movement, and that this data may be used to impact the market rate of cattle and bison at the time of processing.

Centralized Control of Processing/Production via Public-Private Partnership Agreements

In addition to the vast new authority of the USDA funded through the OneHealth Initiative, and the ARP, the EPA has also created its own unique set of regulatory burdens upon the entire meat industry.

On March 25, 2024, the EPA finalized a new set of Clean Water Act rule changes to limit nitrogen and phosphorus "pollutants" in downstream water treatment facilities from processing facilities. While the EPA's interpretation of authority and jurisdiction over wastewater is concerning long-term, the broader context of consolidated processing under four multinational meat-packing companies is of much greater concern for the immediate future.

With few exceptions, in the United States it is illegal to sell meat without a USDA certification. Currently, the only way to access USDA certification is through a USDA-certified processing facility.

According to the EPA, the new rules will impact up to 845 processing facilities nationwide, unless facilities drastically limit the amount of meat they process each year.

With processing capabilities being the number one barrier to market for livestock producers, and billions of dollars in grants being awarded to Climate-Smart food substitutes, the amount of government intervention into the marketplace becomes very clear.

The Rise of Authoritarianism and Economic Fascism – Control the Supply

The United States, once a consumer-demand free market society, is currently witnessing the use of government force, and intervention tactics to steer and manipulate the marketplace. Similar to 1930's Italy, this is being achieved by the state within the state, through the use of selectionism, protectionism, and economic planning between public-private partnership agreements.

The long-term and unavoidable problem with economic fascism is that it leads to authoritarian and centralized control, from which escape is impossible.

As each industry becomes centralized and consolidated under the few, consumer choice simultaneously disappears. As choice disappears, so does the ability of the individual to meet their specific and unique needs.

Eventually, the individual no longer serves a role outside of its usefulness to the state—the final exhale before the last python squeeze.

8. Stop Hassling the Hoffe

An Urgent Plea to All Readers for Help

Dr. Charles Hoffe – a Noble Small-Town Canadian Physician

BY JUSTUS R. HOPE | APRIL 23, 2024

Few stories are more compelling than the tale of Dr. Charles Hoffe. He is a Canadian small-town physician who clings to old-fashioned values. Dr. Hoffe enjoys treating patients even if he loses money doing so because Medicine is a calling for him, not a way to get rich.

His father came to visit and told him that he would never make a name for himself in this backwoods – yet charming – town of Lytton located in the heart of British Columbia. Charles explained that his goal was not to glorify himself, but instead to care for others. He enjoyed stitching the fingers of locals whose skill saws had slipped. He found satisfaction in bringing new life into this world, and he stood strong with the elderly until they departed. Dr. Hoffe was equally comfortable treating the town via its tiny emergency room.

Dr. Hoffe remained fiercely loyal to all under his care, and this was never truer than during the recent COVID-19 episode. While MSM stories abounded on the pandemic causing overflowing big-city hospitals, Hoffe recognized the disconnect between the reality in his small town. He did not see the pandemic materializing with his own eyes. The town of Lytton seemed relatively untouched by anything more serious than a mild flu.

Following the roll-out of the vaccine, Dr. Hoffe noticed a more extreme disconnect. Patients were showing up sick after vaccination. On one occasion he informed a vaccine-injured patient she would not require additional injections due to having sufficient immunity from previous virus recovery. A nurse reported him and despite 30 years of exemplary service without a single patient complaint, he was summarily fired from his position at the emergency department.

However, despite his income dropping by half without the emergency room, Dr. Hoffe persisted in keeping his patients' safety first, even to his detriment. His first patient death from the pandemic came after vaccination, not from the virus.

Hoffe noticed mounting deaths, micro-clotting, and serious neurological events after the 2021 rollout, and this prompted him to write an email of concern asking his colleagues what they had seen.

Following this private email, he received a notice from the licensing authorities threatening him with disciplinary action should he cause any vaccine hesitancy through his communications.

Hoffe immediately recognized something seriously was amiss. Never in his experience had doctors been so threatened for simply asking questions. Scientific inquiry should not be punishable – and he would not be silenced – especially not when patients' lives were on the line. The personal cost to him did not matter.

Although Dr. Hoffe found himself isolated in Lytton, a village of a mere 250 residents, he decided to conduct his own pilot study.

Tiny Lytton BC by Andrew Bowden – CC-BY-SA-2.0

He theorized that levels of D-Dimer would reflect micro-clot formation, and thus he measured these levels in his patients both before and after vaccination. To his horror, 5 of 8 patients turned positive for dangerous micro-clotting following the shots. Based on this safety signal, he informed his colleagues and warned that the vaccines seemed to be causing more harm than good.

Dr. Charles Hoffe, despite his tiny practice in this tiny British Columbia town, ironically had made a national name for himself. And bigger things were about to happen. His D-Dimer study began in early 2021, around April, and by June of 2021, his town of Lytton was extinguished in a massive wildfire that seemed to selectively torch the enclave while mysteriously sparing the surrounding wilderness.

Hoffe recalls the day of the inferno. He grabbed his laptop, and D-Dimer records, and fled his burning office. He drove the four hours to his family home, only to be greeted with the news that his wife was strategically planning a divorce. He was served with papers ousting him from his residence. Faced with banishment from his marriage, his profession, and his home, he sought refuge in a small vacation cottage located some six hours' drive away. He made himself available to his patients via cell phone. But the licensing authorities quickly accused him of abandonment. Yet nothing could have been further from the truth. Like a good steward, Hoff watched over his flock with the utmost care.

Dr. Hoffe courageously stayed the course, keeping his patients first while brushing off the slings and arrows of the attack. The little income he earned following the loss of the emergency room position was about to be whittled down further as the Canadian government removed him from a previously favored physician payment list.

Meanwhile, the charred remains of the town of Lytton had been cordoned off by the authorities who blocked access – Maui style – to its displaced residents for some two years. Hoffe's local Lytton home, in a positive twist of fate, was located upwind from the disaster, and he was able to move back in and treat the locals once again.

As if the situation could not grow worse, the Canadian Medical Authorities brought charges of misinformation spreading against Dr. Hoffe and sought to revoke his license to practice medicine.

Hoff hired a caring Christian attorney who vowed to fight this. For his defense, he recruited eight world-class expert witnesses, including Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Jessica Rose, and Dr. James Thorpe. They provided some 970 pages of compelling testimony, all pro-bono in light of Hoffe's extreme financial circumstances.

Despite all this, the court used the tool of Judicial Notice to derail his defense. This meant that none of this expert witness evidence was admissible because as a matter of law the vaccines were by definition considered safe and effective – and this issue could not be legally contested.

To add further insult, the medical authorities sought to charge Dr. Hoffe with the costs of their investigation on top of revoking his license. These costs could easily exceed one or two hundred thousand dollars. In other words, the Canadian Medical Authorities are planning a one-two punch designed to bankrupt and silence Dr. Hoffe once and for all.

Which brings me to my request. If you value noble physicians like Dr. Hoffe who possess the moral fiber and strength of character to stand strong for their Hippocratic Oaths no matter the personal cost, then please reach out and help.

If everyone in our group contributed 10 dollars to Dr. Hoffe's legal defense fund, we could send a message that patients care, and value physicians who stand for truth. We could spare Dr. Hoffe so he could help us fight another day. These payments are exclusively for defraying the costs of Dr. Hoffe's legal fees, and not for his personal financial benefit.

All Donations are welcome to the Dr. Charles Hoffe Legal Defence Fund.

9. A Warped View of Patriotism on Pat Tillman

By Jacob G. Hornberger | FFF | April 24, 2024

A recent op-ed in the Los Angeles Times demonstrates what is a warped interpretation of the term "patriotism." The op-ed is about former football player Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan twenty years ago. It's written by Bill Dwyre, a former sports editor for the Times.

Dwyre reminds us that Tillman was motivated to join the military after the 9/11 attacks. He gave up a $3.6 million football contract to join the U.S. military and was hoping to be sent to Afghanistan to fight the terrorists.

Dwyre writes, "It was a can't-miss story of patriotism. Americans applauded from the safety and comfort of our homes and communities." (Since he uses the pronoun "our," presumably Dwyre fell into the "safety and comfort" group rather than the "patriot" group.)

Unfortunately, however, Dwyre doesn't explain why Tillman's act was one of "can't miss" patriotism. Apparently for him it's a self-evident truth.

No declaration of war

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It is the higher law that we the people impose on government officials. We are expected to obey their laws, and they punish us when we fail to do so. By the same token, they are supposed to obey our law, the Constitution.

The Constitution requires a congressional declaration of war as a prerequisite to a president's waging war against any other nation-state. If a president and his army wage war without a congressional declaration of war, they are acting in violation of the law.

It is undisputed that President Bush did not secure a congressional declaration of war from Congress before he ordered his military to invade Afghanistan. That made their war illegal under our form of government.

How can participating in an illegal war be considered "patriotic"? Dwyre doesn't explain that.

The U.S. was the aggressor under Nuremberg

Moreover, the common perception is that Bush invaded Afghanistan because the Taliban regime, which was governing the country, had been complicit in the 9/11 attacks by having knowingly harbored Osama bin Laden, who U.S. officials suspected had orchestrated the attacks.

Not so. Bush initiated his war because the Taliban regime refused to comply with his unconditional demand to deliver bin Laden into the hands of the Pentagon and the CIA. Yet, there was no extradition treaty between Afghanistan and the United States and, therefore, Afghanistan was operating within its rights under international law to refuse Bush's unconditional extradition demand.

Nonetheless, knowing that the Pentagon and the CIA would torture bin Laden into confessing to the crime, Afghanistan offered to deliver him to an independent nation for a fair trial. In making the offer, Afghanistan sought the same amount of proof that would be required in a normal extradition hearing. The U.S. government refused the offer, perhaps because it was unable to provide such proof.

Therefore, given that Afghanistan had the authority under international law to refuse Bush's extradition demand, that makes Bush's invasion illegal under the war-of-aggression provision of the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal.

How can participation in an unconstitutional and illegal war be considered "patriotic"? Unfortunately, Dwyre fails to explain.

If one assumes that the 9/11 attackers were the ones who did the attacking (as compared to the attacks being an "inside job," as some believe), it's worth pointing out that they were motivated by the death and destruction that the U.S. government's foreign policy had wreaked in the Middle East. But of course, a real "patriot" does not bring up that discomforting fact and instead blindly supports the government's claim that the terrorists attacked us out of hatred for our "freedom and values."

Tillman's opposition to the Iraq War

One of the fascinating aspects of Dwyre's op-ed glorifying Tillman's patriotism is what he leaves out of the op-ed. Tillman was an outspoken opponent of Bush's invasion and war of aggression against Iraq. Dwyre doesn't even mention that, which is revealing.

Keep in mind, after all, that Bush's war on Iraq was also waged without a congressional declaration of war, making it illegal under our form of government. Bush's claim that he was waging to war to enforce UN resolutions falls flat because only the UN can enforce its resolutions. The fact is that the U.S. war on Iraq was an even clearer case of a war of aggression under the Nuremberg principles than the U.S. war on Afghanistan.

Despite Tillman's fierce objections to the U.S. war on Iraq, the U.S. military nonetheless ordered him to "serve" in Iraq, which he did. Keep in mind though that every U.S. soldier takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution and is under a legal and moral obligation to refuse to obey unlawful orders. Tillman chose to obey the unlawful order to deploy to Iraq.

U.S. government lies

After his "service" in Iraq, Tillman was deployed to Afghanistan, where he continued to speak out against the U.S. war on Iraq. It was there that he was killed. As Dwyre points out, the U.S. military initially lied about his death, claiming falsely that he was killed by enemy fire. In fact, what actually happened is that he was killed by his own men in what was described as "friendly fire."

In 2006, Tillman's brother, Kevin Tillman, wrote a scathing op-ed on truthdig.com, in which he echoed his brother Pat's view of the Iraq war: "Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers on the ground."

Why would't Dwyre mention Pat Tillman's (and his brother's) fierce opposition to the U.S. war on Iraq in his op-ed? My hunch is that it's because he considers opposition to U.S. wars to be unpatriotic and, therefore, Tillman's apparent lack of "patriotism" with respect to Iraq doesn't fit conveniently within his patriotism narrative. Under Dwyre's warped interpretation of patriotism, apparently it's only those who blindly support the U.S. national-security state's foreign wars and its interventionist foreign policy who should be considered "patriots." Apparently, those who reject such wars and choose instead to remain in the "safety and comfort" of their homes instead of fighting them should be considered non-patriots.

10. Hamas holds dozens of high-ranking Israeli officers in Gaza: Report

The Cradle | April 24, 2024

A source within Palestinian resistance movement Hamas told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed on 24 April that the group holds around 30 Israeli army generals and officers from the Shin Bet security service as prisoners in the Gaza Strip.

"The movement alone has about 30 generals and Shin Bet officers, who were captured on October 7, from military units and some highly sensitive military sites," the source said.

The source added that "these people in particular are in highly secured places, far from the hands of the occupation, and it is impossible to reach them under any circumstances," and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government have been hiding information from their people regarding "the identities of some of the prisoners."

This concealment comes as part of efforts "to avoid provoking anger among the ranks of the combat forces." He added that the military representative on Israel's prisoner negotiation team, Nitzan Alon, is frustrated with Netanyahu's "laxity" toward the issue.

The Israeli government has said that 129 Israeli prisoners remain captive in Gaza.

According to the source, Israel does not really know the exact number of prisoners left in Gaza after the prisoner exchanges in late November. He adds that Tel Aviv has not specified the number of imprisoned military officials, as part of a strategy "to classify some of the soldiers or officers … as civilians, in order to reduce the price of negotiating for them during the talks."

The source also denied Hebrew media reports that only 20 prisoners are alive and that Hamas only proposed releasing 20, as opposed to 40, during the latest rounds of truce talks in Cairo.

Truce negotiations remain stalemated by Israel's repeated rejection of Hamas' main terms, which the resistance group continues to hold fast. These terms include an end to the war and a permanent ceasefire, a withdrawal of all troops from Gaza, a return of the displaced to their homes, and reconstruction of the strip.

"The only way [for Israel] to liberate the occupation prisoners is through serious negotiations followed by a full commitment to a ceasefire and reconstruction," he said.

He also confirmed that the resistance remains in fighting form, and has not been defeated.

"The resistance is still fine, and is still in control in a disciplined manner within integrated structures in the field of operations." Israel has repeatedly claimed that the southernmost city of Rafah is Hamas' final stronghold, and is planning an operation against the desperately overcrowded city, posing the threat of a severe humanitarian catastrophe.

The source also confirmed that top Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is "not isolated from reality" or hiding within the tunnels of Gaza, as some have claimed. According to the source, Sinwar has met with some of the fighters of Hamas' military wing, the Qassam Brigades, has "inspected" some of the areas where clashes took place, and "is carrying out his work as a leader of the movement in the field."
