LUMPENPROLETARIAT—[Monday, 29 AUG 2022] Here are some of today’s media/press notes to help us track and make sense of this plandemic dystopia we all find ourselves living through in the 2020s, including inverted totalitarianism, the post-COVID-19 controlled demolition of the global economy, medical apartheid, the rise of neo-feudalism, proliferation of houseless shanty encampments of the neo-peasantry, and human-induced climate change leading to a climate crisis of melting ice caps, record heatwaves, tornadoes, gustnados, floods, drought, drying rivers, and other extreme weather events, which threaten life on Earth. Let’s learn together and find solutions together. Let’s build working class solidarity. Let’s build human solidarity. (Please see below, after this commentary and after today’s salient observations, for samples of today’s news cycle.)
One of the most compelling presentations your author encountered in the news cycle for Monday, 29 AUG 2022, came from The Gary Null Show. This news about synthetic, bioengineered rubber-band-like structures being found in human blood vessels and blood clots is absolutely horrifying. These bioengineered rubber-band-like structures have not yet been categorically linked to the COVID-19 mRNA jabs. But the more we learn about the mRNA jabs, the COVID-19 injectable drug products, the more dangerous they appear. The establishment has repeatedly lied to the public about the COVID-19 injectable drug products. When I first learned that the injections, or jabs, messed with people’s mRNA and potentially change people’s DNA, I warned all of my family and friends. My parents don’t know what DNA is. They didn’t have the luxury of studying science in school in the small villages of Mexico. Science isn’t a popular subject, even when kids get to go to school. My warnings fell on deaf ears. But as they say, echoing Biblical scripture, “Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honor.” In other words, a prophet is often least respected at home. I’m not saying I’m a prophet. But somehow doing more homework on a subject than the average person is easily dismissed, like climate science or COVID-19 science. Somehow, people trusted corrupt governments in bed with big pharma, instead of questioning red flags, heeding warnings from loved ones, and/or doing their own homework. As Dr. Julie Ponesse said, people are outsourcing their critical thinking to others.
But, now, honest doctors, such as Dr. Mobeen Syed, have shown us how the mRNA COVID-19 injectable drug products do become DNA in human cells and tissue. (See “Pfizer vaccine becomes DNA in Liver Cells. (In-vitro Swedish Study)” by Drbeen Medical Lectures, 25 FEB 2022. Also see “DETAILS – Pfizer Vaccine Becomes DNA in The Human Liver Cells Huh7. (In-vitro Swedish Study)” by Drbeen Medical Lectures, 28 FEB 2022.) Dr. Mobeen Syed summarized a Swedish in vitro study in two videos (one for laypersons and another with more details), which proved the mRNA does become DNA in human liver cells. This is horrifying! So, the COVID-19 jabs do change people’s DNA! Government officials lied. But what did we expect? Initially, officials said the jabs will produce spike protein, but the spike protein will only stay near the local injection site. Then we learned that was a lie. For example, “Spike protein collects in ovaries and bone marrow according to Pfizer data from Japan”. The spike protein production was out of control in some people, creating cytokine storms in people’s bodies and causing harm to immune systems. Cytokine storm syndrome has been confirmed in a lab using rodents, but adverse reactions to the jabs in humans has been neglected. Few people seem to know about the VAERS data and the myocarditis problems, which the establishment media obfuscates. In fact, in an unprecedented move the establishment has removed from PubMed and censored a peer-reviewed study on VAERS data by Dr. Jessica Rose and Dr. Peter McCullough without explanation. We also know from the Japanese Pfizer biodistribution study that the synthetic spike protein is accumulating in women’s ovaries. Those of us curious enough to scratch beneath the surface of the establishment narrative, or to do a little digging, knew that the COVID-19 injectable drug products were not patented as vaccines, but patented as gene therapy drugs. WTF?! That further cemented your author’s aversion to these bullshit drug products. I mean bullshit for most healthy people. If you’re elderly and you know all the risks, which the establishment obfuscates, and you still decide to be injected with experimental gene therapy drug products, by all means, take your chances. Good luck. But universally pushing these experimental drugs on people, including pregnant women and children, and mandating them as a condition for work or to participate in society is unconscionable. If this sounds crazy, please read The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Also read the book by Dr. Peter R. Breggin, MD and Ginger Ross Breggin entitled COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey with introductions by leading COVID-19 physicians: Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH; Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD; Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko, MD. Listen to the Joe Rogan interviews of Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone. There is more than enough evidence out there to open an investigation into the establishment response to COVID-19 and to charge officials and others, like Anthony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, Bill Gates, et al with crimes against humanity. For example, the Indian Bar Association has filed a lawsuit against the World Health Organization for pushing the experimental COVID-19 injectable drug products on people.
The main point with today’s Gary Null Show presentation is that synthetic material is reportedly being found in blood clots and autopsies. Many of us have seen the videos of athletes suddenly dropping dead on sports fields. It’s easy to be dismissive. But this is alarming, if we allow ourselves to think about it. But where were the autopsies? We could ask the same thing about the lack of COVID-19 autopsies. But, now, we are starting to get some clues. One example was presented by Mike Adams and Harrison Smith for InfoWars (the Alex Jones show), which has now also been featured on The Gary Null Show. Of course, Alex Jones is considered radioactive by many people. Jones was censored by social media, like Mr. Trump. We may disagree with Jones and Trump on a lot of things. But we must defend their right to free speech, or else it’s only a matter of time before we’re all censored by the state, by illegitimate power. Your author disagrees with most of Trump’s and Alex Jones’ right-wing politics. But, occasionally, the most controversial platforms reveal the most important news. So, we must fact-check and corroborate all fact-claims. The InfoWars video Dr. Gary Null broadcast was originally published via Rumble on 13 JUN 2022. Dr. Null said he was aware of these concerns about synthetic material, or ‘rubber-band-like structures’, being found in blood clots, which reportedly have never been seen until after the COVID-19 injectable drug products were pushed onto the world. Dr. Gary Null said he didn’t want to broadcast this video until he, and his team, confirmed the science was legitimate. So, now Dr. Gary Null has staked his reputation on this news item, which should be making news headlines everywhere. As things stand today, since we know the mRNA from the COVID-19 injectable drug products is in fact capable of becoming DNA in human cells, then it is plausible that changes to DNA can cause the body to produce not only synthetic spike proteins but other synthetic or bioengineered structures, which can clog blood vessels. This news deserves to be investigated further to learn more, or to debunk, if possible. We ignore the salient news of the world at our own perile. Let’s ask questions fearlessly. And let’s find the truth together. Let’s find solutions to problems together. As Albert Einstein suggested, the important thing is to not stop questioning.

COMMENTS: This 05:00 timeslot wastes a one-hour block on repeating the previous day’s show, as if this show was worthy of such repetition. Not even Democracy Now! is worthy of being aired twice per day on the same station. But this is an example of the way liberals (i.e., pro-capitalists or non-anti-capitalists) colonize and monopolize the free speech radio airwaves and prevent voices to the left of them from having a fair opportunity to be heard.

COMMENTS: This show used to be a hard-hitting, adversarial newscast. I’ll never forget the day Amy Goodman interviewed former President Bill Clinton. He got his comeuppance. And we got to hear his true personality, his bullying nature. I never understood people, who interview people in positions of power, but then ask softball questions. People called it an ambush interview. Pfft. After 9/11, many of us were disappointed by the dishonesty, the lying by omission, the gaslighting. After COVID-19, it was clearer than ever that Democracy Now! (DN!) has been compromised, or has sold out. As Lewis Lapham said about reading The New York Times, ‘I still read it,’ he said, ‘But when I do I know they’re lying to me.’ The same thing goes for DN! Like the KPFA news bosses and most of the Pacifica Radio news bosses, DN! suffers from what Dr. Noam Chomsky called the “liberal bias” back in the day, when he was critiquing corporate media. Now, it also applies to most of the Pacifica Radio newscast bosses, who must make U.S. spooks proud, if they aren’t in fact on some spook payroll.

Quotations from radio archive description: Ukrainians smuggled back home via Russian “underground railroad”; | On today’s show: 0:08 – John Feffer (@johnfeffer), Director of Foreign Policy in Focus discusses the latest news from Russia’s war in Ukraine. 0:33 – Dr. John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health joins us to answer our listeners COVID questions.
COMMENTS: This is the worst Machiavellian perception management, which will never inform the working class, which is oppressed by the power elite, nor help them connect the dots between issues to help the public see the larger truths to be able to learn from past experience. This type of Machiavellian hides their lack of concern for the suffering of others behind a veneer of journalistic objectivity or journalistic professionalism—professionalism, the journalistic refuge of scoundrels. Liberals (i.e., pro-capitalists or non-anti-capitalists), like this host, appear to be professional amnesiacs, conveniently forgetting lessons from their own past interviews, if such lessons threaten the status quo, not to mention other common sense lessons from the broader society. There are so many examples of when listeners can remember a key piece of information, which can help an interview reach deeper conclusions or attain new insights, but the liberal host feigns ignorance or simply failed to make the connection. And listeners are given the mushroom treatment, as Nicole Sawaya used to say (former KPFA manager, described the long-standing culture behind the scenes at Pacifica Radio): ‘keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit.’ At any rate, the listeners, who listen because they care about social justice, are the losers because these liberal hosts force each conversation to start at square one. Important insights culled from interview A will never show up on interview B or C. Sure, such liberals will go into meticulous and sophisticated detail. But only when it doesn’t impact the status quo. Of course, there are exceptions at Pacifica Radio, such as Flashpoints and Guns and Butter (which was forced off the air at KPFA), but they are viewed as the black sheep by the bosses, not supported or embraced as allies. Oddly, during the first quarter of 2022, Mickey Huff was on Letters and Politics. I’ll have to relisten, if possible. It’s plausible Mickey Huff is open to collaboration and cooperation. But it’s not plausible entertainers, like Mitch Jeserich, would ever do anything with sincere educators and truth-seekers, like Mickey Huff, without an ulterior motive, such as reputational rehabilitation. Examples of established ideas and conclusions, which can help liberate the working class, but which are marginalized or ignored by such liberals, as the hosts of UpFront, Letters and Politics, Talkies, etc., include modern monetary theory, the job guarantee program, the two-party dictatorship, the fact that two-party systems are polarizing, benefits of ranked-choice voting, proportional representation, the incompatibility between democracy and capitalism, and so on. And these are not partisan issues. They’re only partisan issues, if you’re an antidemocratic partisan, a fascist, or an authoritarian. Otherwise, we all have the common sense to identify basic democratizing features of a healthy democracy. These are undisputable conclusions about a healthy democracy versus a diseased democracy, which have been accumulated after listening to voices advocating for social justice for decades. When you listen to voices for peace and justice for years and decades, it’s hard not to learn basic truths over time. Yet, somehow, some people never learn anything. They still haven’t grasped the fundamental contradictions within capitalism, for example. Only willful ignorance seems adequate to explain this. The underlying presuppositions of such liberals deny all of these realities and begin with the false left-right paradigm, in which the Democrat Party is assumed to be a sincere opposition party, when, in fact, as Chris Hedges, Ralph Nader, et al, have long admitted, we have a two-party dictatorship because America has undergone a corporate coup d’etat decades ago. But you’d never know any of this from listening to liberals, such as this particular host.

Quotations from radio archive description: Arrests on 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa, Mexico; Plus, inedible food in Virginia women’s prison | On September 26, 2014, students from a rural teachers college in Ayotzinapa, a town in the Mexican state of Guerrero, were disappeared by state actors and police. Forty-three students completely vanished, igniting years of national protest. Now, the country’s former Attorney General – long thought complicit in the coverup – has been arrested, reopening wounds and more investigations. We speak with John Gibler, an independent journalist that has been covering this tragedy since the beginning. He is the author of I Couldn’t Even Imagine That They Would Kill Us: An Oral History of the Attacks Against the Students of Ayotzinapa and Torn from the World: A Guerrilla’s Escape from a Secret Prison in Mexico, and other books. | Then, we move to Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women (FCCW) – a women’s jail in Virginia – where prisoners have told the Appeal that the food they are receiving is spoiled and moldy, leading to calls from elected officials for a deeper investigation and change. We are joined by Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg, senior reporter for The Appeal, a worker-led nonprofit news organization. She writes on prison and jail conditions, and wrongful convictions. | This week’s Artist Resistance in Residence is San Francisco Poet Laureate Tongo Eisen-Martin.

COMMENTS: Usually, honest on basic social justice issues, but newscast bosses tend to gaslight listeners on COVID-19 (never mention VAERS data, VAERS deaths, assaults on informed consent, assaults on parental consent, no mention of litigation in India against the World Health Organization) and establishment Democrat Party politics (i.e., usually engaging in Democrat Party apologia and perception management to keep people within the Democrat Party imaginary and out of the third-party politics imaginary, in the sociology sense of the term, ‘imaginary’). I.e., ‘it’s all good, just don’t question 9/11, COVID-19, nor establishment electoral politics.’ Having said all that, this is still a better nightly newscast than most. I’m hard-pressed to think of a better one, especially since the demise of Free Speech Radio News (FSRN), especially not locally. But that doesn’t excuse the KPFA news bosses’ intellectual dishonesty, lying by omission, and other deficiencies of journalistic integrity.

To the lost, and the blind, and the almost found.
“To the crazy
The lazy
The bored
The ignored
The beginners
The sinners
The losers
The winners.
To the smooth
And the cool
And even to the fools.
Here’s to your ex-best-friend.
“To the rule-benders and the repeat offenders.
To the lovers and the troublers
The engaging
The enraging
To the healers and the feelers
And the fixers and the tricksters
To a star falling from a dream.
To a dream, when you know what it means.
“To the bottom
To the root
To the bass, uh, boom!
To the drum
To the was you been to the is you in
To what’s deep and deep to what’s down and down
To the lost, and the blind, and the almost found.
“Here’s to somebody within the sound of your voice this morning.
Here’s to somebody who can’t be within the sound of your voice tonight.
To a low-cholesterol pig sandwich smothered in swine without the pork.
To a light buzz in your head
And a soundtrack in your mind
Going on and on and on and on and on like a good time.
“Here’s to promises that break by themselves
Here’s to the breaks with great promise.
To people who don’t wait in the car when you tell them to wait in the car.
“Here’s to what you forgot and who you forgot.
Here’s to the unforgettable.
Here’s to the was you been to the is you in
To what’s deep and deep to what’s down and down
To the lost, and the blind, and the almost found.
“Here’s to the hip-hoppers
The don’t stoppers
Heads nodding in the digital glow
Of their beloved studios.
To the incredible, indelible impressions made by the gaze as you gaze in the faces of strangers.
To yourself you ask: Could this be God? Straight up!
Or is it a mask?
“Here’s to the tribe of the hyper-cyber
Trippin’ at the virtual-most outpost at the edge on the tip
Believin’ that what they hear is the mothership
Drawing near.
Here’s to the was you been to the is you in
To what’s deep and deep to what’s down and down
To the lost, and the blind, and the almost found.”
