A WORLD AT WAR WITH ITSELF 👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓 BREEDING UNBELIEF IN OUR SYSTEM! (PART TWO) 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 We learnt how our lives can be a stumbling block to others' faith in God,in the first part of this teaching earlier on. But before we continue, let's be mindful of how our God loathes anyone whose life brings reproach to God's Name; But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. (Mat 18: 6) The*little ones* inferred by Christ Jesus there, isn't limited to children,but generally to anyone whose life stops someone else from believing God and serving Him. So, as earlier said,we should endeavour not to find ourselves in the position of the disciples that almost discouraged the father of that epileptic boy. Now, another lesson from the narrative is whether we can dare to believe Our Father again,after several apparent disappointments! (2)CAN YOU BELIEVE? Every promise in the Bible is for your life and mine. But you see,under the subtly(devil induced) unguarded moments of life,we tend to dry up when we live with the same problem day after day, and we allow our expectations to drop because of our old experiences. But here's the catch...what God really and truly does expect from us,is the courage to declare,inspite of the visible repetitive challenges we face that; Oh yeah,*YES, I DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN, I REFUSE TO GO DOWN THIS WAY...I WILL RATHER DIE ON MY FEET,THAN ON MY KNEES!* If we are able to believe above our doubts, if we are able to take action above our past mistakes, even though they could not help us; If we can say *nothing is going to take my faith away from me, because I believe that something positive is going to happen*, the moment will come where God is going to transform your life, and you will become everything that God wants you to be. People who know they have a purpose never allow the devil to spoil the purpose they are on to. Don't keep compromising your future by doing nonsense in your present. I SPEAK FROM YEARS OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE...I DON'T WANT YOU TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES I MADE, HENCE I AM UNASHAMEDLY BRINGING MY SOMEWHAT UNENCOURAGING LIFE INTO THE PUBLIC GLARE! Trust me,it takes more than just an effort. I have always done this anyway,but the name tags that come with it have been really humiliating...but I was employed to do a job, and that job will I do,until the last breath flow from me,by His grace and mercy. There are are those of us that… walk like beggars when we should be princes, crawling when we should be riding for the glory of God, walk with short steps when we should take the steps of conquerors. But since we can't see what God has ahead, we don't see any reason to be confident of change, we don't have faith, we don't prepare and we end up getting stuck! Christ Jesus is the door of hope that transforms a painful past into a glorious future. Nothing improves if we don't improve. You are going to be the biggest surprise that your enemies and detractors have ever seen. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the certainty of what you hope for. For you to expect something , you must know what you expect. What are you waiting for? Because what you believe is what you will have for the glory of God! Romans 4:17 “As it is written: I have made you a father of many nations before God, whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls things that are not, as if they were. When God called what is not as if it were, then it is! When God said let there be Light, the Light was not, but there it was! Therefore, when God tells you that he is going to lift you up, so it is? God has never and will NEVER make a promise that's too good to be true! Romans 4: 19-21 “And he did not weaken in faith when considering his body, which was already as dead (being almost a hundred years old), or the sterility of Sarah's womb. He also did not doubt, through unbelief, the promise of God, but he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, fully convinced that he was also able to do all that he had promised; " Don't let your faith weaken, Abraham did not doubt, he was strengthened by having faith! Are you doing the same? Are you filling yourself with faith or doubts? How did he not doubt, and strengthen himself in faith? He gave glory to God. He begins to give glory to God for the miracle that is on the way He begins to give thanks before seeing the miracle. Focus on the miracle that is coming. Because gratitude precedes the miracle. Do you believe that God has the power to fulfill what He has promised you? Yes? So why do you still not walk with all the faith? Mark 9: 23-24 “Jesus said to him: If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. And immediately the boy's father cried out and said: I believe; help my unbelief. * BY NOW,IT SHOULD BE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR,WHY THE MESSAGE IS A STERN REBUKE TO ME FROM DAD,OUR DAD...HOW CAN SOMEONE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SACRED TRUTHS OF ALL TIME BUCKLE DOWN FOR THE DEVIL?* I PRAY I RECEIVE STRENGTH TO GET UP AND FIGHT ON....SO DO I PRAY FOR YOU OUT THERE WHO MAY BE IN THE SAME SHOES,AMEN! I think it would be justified to arm and equip ourselves with these timelessly sacred words of the scriptures... GOD'S WORD; 33. Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. (Heb 11: 33-34) May this be our testimony in this race towards the perfect Man,Amen🙇🙏!

I KINGS CHAPTER 5 SOLOMON'S EMPIRE Abraham had been a truly international figure, having traveled throughout the "Fertile Crescent" from Babylon to Aram Naharayim, throughout the Land of Israel and down into Egypt. Jacob too traveled to Aram and to Egypt. However, since the time of the entry of the Israelites into their Land, their main preoccupation had been to battle against their immediate neighbors – the Canaanites, Philistines, Moabites and Ammonites – in order to maintain their hold over the Promised Land. It was through the victories of David over all Israel's enemies that an entirely new international vista opened up in the time of Solomon, whose "empire" or "sphere of influence" extended over the entire swathe of territory promised to Abraham "from the river of Egypt to the Great river, the Euphrates" (Genesis 15:18; cf. I Kings 5:1 & 3). Our text evokes Solomon's opulent royal lifestyle (vv 2-3) including his ownership of multiple thousands of horses (v 6), which despite being prohibited to the king by the Torah (Deut. 17:16) remain a mark of royalty until today. While the various nations that comprised Solomon's empire paid taxes and gifts, this was not an exploitative colonial empire or one that kept its grip through military force alone. For "he had PEACE on all sides around" (v 4) – a situation that modern Israel can only envy, having experienced no peace for a single moment since the inception of the state and for years and years before it. Our text testifies that the very key to Solomon's influence over this great area of territory as well as over the neighboring foreign powers lay in his unique, God-given WISDOM, which "exceeded the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. And he was wiser than every man (ADAM), than Eitan the Ezrahi and Heyman and Khulkol and Darda the sons of Mahol…" While the simple explanation is that these last names are those of the leading Levite Temple singers of the time, the Midrash identifies "every man" with ADAM, Eitan with Abraham, Heyman with Moses, Khulkol with Joseph and Darda with the Generation of the Wilderness (DOR DE'AH, "generation of KNOWLEDGE), who were "children of forgiveness" (MEHILA). Most of the narrative in the book of Kings portrays Solomon and his achievements from the outside, but his true wisdom shines forth in his surviving literary creations alluded to in verse 12: Proverbs, Song of Songs and Koheles (=Ecclesiastes). Most translations render ALAPHIM and ELEPH in this verse as "thousand(s)", but Rashi relates them to the same root as in ULPAN meaning "education": the verse thus speaks of three EDUCATIONAL ORDERS of Proverbs (the expression MISHLEY SHLOMO appears three times in the book of Proverbs); these, together with Song of Songs and Koheles constitute the FIVE orders of Solomon's "song". According to the simple meaning of ELEPH as 1,000, Rashi brings the Midrash that Solomon taught three thousand parables on every single verse of the Torah and gave 1,005 explanations of each parable (see Rashi on vv 11-12). "He spoke about the trees from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop that comes out of the wall" (before God, the highest and the lowest are equal, Bamidbar Rabba 13). According to Rashi this verse means that not only did Solomon understand the healing properties of all the different trees and plants and exactly how to cultivate them, but that he also explained why the purification of the leper involves the cedar and the hyssop (Lev. 14:4). "He spoke about the animals and birds and creeping creatures and fish…" (v 13): not only did he understand all their different qualities, but also why the SHECHITAH of animals requires the cutting of both the windpipe and the gullet, while that of birds requires the cutting of only one, and why locusts and fish do not require SHECHITAH at all… (Rashi on v 14). HIRAM KING OF TYRE The tragic history of modern Lebanon has overshadowed the one-time greatness of this very beautiful country with its once very extensive forests. While Sidon was established by the firstborn son of Canaan (Gen. 10:15), the city of Tyre to its south was an immensely powerful city state built up by the Phoenicians, whose prosperity was founded on the magnificent tall trees out of which they built the ships they used to develop a trade empire throughout the Mediterranean area and beyond. While Hiram king of Tyre is a legendary figure (particularly in the lore of freemasonry, where he is seen as the "father" of the Temple), Ibn Ezra (on Genesis 41:10) views Hiram as the generic name of all the kings of Tyre just as Pharaoh was the generic name of all the kings of Egypt. In later Biblical times Tyre saw Jerusalem as a dangerous rival and hoped to benefit from its destruction (cf. Ezekiel 26:2, "I shall be filled from her destruction"), but the Hiram who befriended King David and King Solomon was – from the testimony of our text – a believer in the One God who (unlike the nations of today) REJOICED when he heard that Solomon wanted to build Him a Temple in Jerusalem (v 20). Hiram struck a Covenant with Solomon (v 26) inaugurating the first ever venture in international cooperation to build God's Temple. Hiram provided the timber and stone that were the building materials for the Temple in return for very ample supplies of choice wheat and olive oil that were the specialty of Israel. The lumber was tied up to form rafts that were floated down the Mediterranean from the coast of Lebanon to the point nearest to Jerusalem on the Israeli coast. From there it was transported by land to the site of the Temple. The 70,000 "porters" and 80,000 "excavators" who extracted and transported the massive stones for the Temple were GERIM GERURIM – would-be converts who were not admitted into the Assembly of Israel (as no full converts were accepted in the time of Solomon, see commentary on I Kings ch 3) but were nevertheless allowed to participate in the enterprise of building of God's House of Prayer for all the Nations. CHAPTER 6 The building of the Temple commenced in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, 480 years after the Exodus from Egypt and 440 years after the people's entry into the Land. The actualization of this project to join Heaven and Earth took a total of seven years (vv 37-8). In his work on the "Secrets of the Future Temple" (Mishkeney Elyon) the outstanding 18th century Kabbalistic sage R. Moshe Hayyim Luzzatto explains that creation has two roots: the "revealed root" of HOKHMAH ("wisdom") and the "concealed" root of KETER ("the crown"). The two roots are alluded to in the first letter of the first word of the Torah, the Beis (=2) of Bereishis, "In the beginning". "Know too that the sin of Adam spoiled everything and caused all perfection to become concealed, with the result that the world was not even able to return to its previous state [i.e. the level of Wisdom] except in the days of Solomon, when the Temple was first built. Thus it is written: 'And God gave wisdom to Solomon' (I Kings 5:26). For then Wisdom was revealed in all its beauty and radiant glory, enabling all the lights to shine with great strength and joy. In those days, on every level in all the worlds there was only holy power and delight the like of which had never been seen. Even so, because everything was based only on Wisdom and did not reach the ultimate goal [of Keter], this peace and tranquility came to an end and the Temple was destroyed. But in time to come, when the hidden beginning I mentioned [Keter] is revealed, the happiness will be far, far greater, and it will never cease" (Ramchal, Secrets of the Future Temple). Although Ramchal's work – which explains in detail the "sacred geometry" that underlies the design of the Temple – is primarily concerned with the FUTURE Temple as depicted by Ezekiel (chs 40ff), the principles on which it is based apply also to the Temple of Solomon, all of whose chambers, walls, gates and courtyards in all their various dimensions allude to and EMBODY IN STONE the various divine attributes as they relate to one another. Besides the information about Solomon's Temple contained in our text, we have detailed supplementary information in Maseches MIDDOS, the Mishnaic Tractate of "Measurements", which deals with the design of the Second Temple, which was mostly modeled on the first. The rabbinic commentators wrote entire treatises about the structure of the Temple. The Temple had very distinctive features, such as its windows, which were "wide open from the outside but closed and narrow on the inside" (v 4). This was because the Temple had no need for the light from the outside, since it was lit from within (both by the Candelabra and by the spiritual light that shined in it): on the contrary, light emanated FROM the Temple windows OUTWARDS. Another distinctive feature was that as the very center of world peace, the Temple was a place where it was not fitting for the sound of metal hammers and axes to be heard (v 7) since metal is the material of weapons of war. All the stones were cut and dressed outside the Temple, and Solomon also miraculously found the Shamir worm, which would silently eat its way across a stone so as to split it just as it had cut the stones of the gems in the High Priest's breastplate in the days of Moses. (This is not a worm that is easy to find; Sotah 48b, Gittin 68a). Most distinctive of all was that the survival of the Temple was entirely conditional upon Israel's keeping the Torah, as God promised to Solomon (vv 11-13): "If you go in My statutes and carry out My laws… I shall dwell amongst the Children of Israel and I will not abandon My people Israel." The main Temple building, a structure of 60 x 20 cubits (on the inside) was divided into two unequal parts: the HEIKHAL (40 x 20) containing the Menorahs (Candelabra) Show-bread Tables and Incense Altar, and within, the Holy of Holies (20 x 20) containing the Ark of the Covenant with the wooden figures of two Cherubs overlaid with gold standing with their wings outstretched over it and filling the entire inner chamber. Across the entire front of the HEIKHAL stood the OULAM ("Vestibule"). Around the walls surrounding the Heikhal and Holy of Holies on three sides were a series of cells banked up in three stories one on top of the other. These cells may have been used to store the Temple treasures. Esoterically, they allowed the SHEFA (divine influence) emanating from within the Temple to be concentrated intensely prior to its flowing outwards to nourish the outside world. The ceiling and roof of the Temple were made of wood, and its stone walls were entirely paneled with wood from top to bottom. The wood (which alludes to the TREE of life) was carved with the forms of cherubs, palms, garlands and flowers. All the walls and all the carvings were overlaid with gold, as was the ceiling and the floor, the effect of which must have been absolutely stunning. Through God's providence, we have reached the description of the building of Solomon's Temple just as we are celebrating the festival of Chanukah in commemoration of God's miracles for Israel in the Second Temple. In the merit of our studies, may He quickly bring peace to our troubled world and speedily build the Temple we are now awaiting, from which the love and fear of God will spread forth to all the world.

It is undeniable that in the space of a year, the strategic landscape of the Middle East has changed dramatically to Israel’s advantage in a way that few could have imagined prior to the October 7 Hamas invasion. This many-fronted war is far from over. If Iran has been left exposed and embarrassed, there is the danger that she will take desperate steps like a cornered mother-cat. Hamas and Hezbollah may have been subdued, but the fanatics who make up their rank and file are far from being de-radicalized, and the same is true of like-minded terrorists and their masses of supporters across the Middle East and throughout the world. Radical Islamic terror remains a threat everywhere. "He removes kings and installs kings" What we may learn from the rapid downfall of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad tyranny, is that even when the forces of evil seem strongest and most powerfully entrenched, G-d Almighty, the Lord of Hosts, has the power to orchestrate His "hosts" and "legions", including all the many different and opposing forces on His global chessboard, to bring them down. For, "He changes times and seasons, removes kings and installs kings; He gives the wise their wisdom and knowledge to those who know" (Daniel 2:21). It is incumbent on all Jews, Israelis and all our friends and allies everywhere, to understand that it is ultimately G-d alone who granted success and blessed the efforts of all the courageous soldiers who put their lives on the line in order to defend us in Gaza, Lebanon, in the skies of Syria and Iran, and in other locations across the world. This Chanukah, let us remember G-d’s kindnesses and mercies to us when we gaze upon the lights of the Menorah, when we meditate on His great miracles for the Maccabees during the recital of Al Hanissim in the Amidah prayers and in the Grace after Meals, and when we sing His praises in the daily recital of the full Hallel (Psalms 113-118) on each of the eight days of the festival. A second Trump presidency Another miracle for which giving thanks at this time may well be appropriate is the election of President Donald Trump to a second presidency, which averted what seemed like a serious threat of four more years of radical, woke, Marxist-leaning misgovernment in the United States under a brainless, string-puppet figurehead controlled by ex-president Barack Obama. Many hope that President Trump will take serious action to clean up the corrupt Washington "swamp", boost the US economy, deport millions of illegal aliens who have greatly increased crime, drug abuse and sex-trafficking across the country, and put an end to global wars. However, it remains an open question as to what extent he will be able to deliver on his promises in face of the massive opposition that is likely to arise domestically and internationally as soon as he takes office, including some that may come from quite unexpected directions. The "Abraham Accords" It does seem likely that the incoming Trump administration will show stronger support for further forceful action by Israel against her enemies, while simultaneously promoting the resumption of the "Abraham Accords", suspended under President Joe Biden, which are intended to induce Saudi Arabia and other supposedly "moderate" Moslem states to give full diplomatic recognition to Israel so as to open the way for greater economic cooperation for the mutual benefit of all. It will indeed be entirely miraculous if the Abraham Accords can succeed in quelling the brand of extreme radicalism espoused today by millions of self-avowed Moslems across the globe, who are bent on intimidating and terrorizing people everywhere into submission, threatening death to all who refuse. Will the Saudis, who greatly profit from hosting Islam’s holiest site, succeed in persuading their fellow Moslems that true religion is not about violence and coercion but about persuading humanity to join together in seeking the Truth, submitting to the One God and carrying out His Will? Can the Saudis be brought to officially acknowledge Mount Moriah as the site of the destined Future Temple in Jerusalem as prophesied by the prophets of Israel? If Donald Trump and Elon Musk will categorically declare that the ultimate goal of all Middle East diplomacy is to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, that in itself will be an astounding miracle, comparable to King Cyrus’ giving the green light for the building of the Second Temple (Ezra 1:2). Someone please get the message to them! The Turkey factor The present-day republic of Türkiye extends over vast areas of Anatolia and Western Asia that in Biblical times made up Ashur, the Assyrian empire. Indeed, Turkey’s current leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, shows signs of being no less of a megalomaniac than Sennacherib, king of Ashur, who laid siege to Jerusalem in the time of King Hezekiah until his miraculous defeat. Erdoğan probably prefers we forget the time when a horse he was trying to mount threw him and gave him a mighty kick in the crotch, but it’s preserved on video. In his latest rant last week, Erdoğan said: "Turkey is far greater than its 782,000 square kilometers. Those questioning our presence in Syria, Libya or Somalia fail to grasp our vision." In other words, Turkey reserves the right to burst its way far beyond its current borders in order to resurrect the Ottoman Empire. Do we say good luck with that? Despite getting knackered in the crotch, the unhumbled Erdoğan fails to see any contradiction between his expansionist imperial visions and his unceasing accusations against Israel for the "illegal occupation" of Palestine, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. The greatest irony is that biblical prophecy points in the opposite direction to Erdoğan’s vision of "Greater Turkey", because it is precisely "little Israel", which all the nations of the world seek to push back behind the pre-1967 borders if not into the sea, which is ultimately destined to expand and encompass all of present-day Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, stretching "from the river to the river" — from the Nile to the Euphrates — as clearly laid down in Genesis 15:18-21, Numbers chapter 34 and Ezekiel 47:15-20. Under the final settlement, Israel’s Mediterranean border will extend to Hor Hahar, the mountain spur jutting into the sea aside modern-day Antiki (=ancient Antioch), well inside present-day Türkiye! Greater Israel — for what? The question we must clarify is: For what purpose do we seek the Greater Israel? After Israel’s miraculous victory over Egypt, Syria and Jordan in 1967, when she recovered the biblical heartland of Israel, Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights, Gaza and the Sinai desert, all in the space of six days, the Israeli far left simply did not know what to do with the conquered territories and just wanted to "give them back" as quickly as possible in exchange for "peace". Thus after the reconquest of East Jerusalem, Israeli General Moshe Dayan immediately returned the keys of the Temple Mount into the hands of the Moslem Wafk police, since he clearly could not, or did not want to conceive of a Jewish Temple on the site. That would have obliged him to turn around his entire secular lifestyle and philosophy. Likewise, Israel’s far left campaigned unremittingly to "give back" the territories, until they jumped onto the accursed 1993 Oslo-Assla "Peace Process" nightmare that plagues us until today with the slogan: "YeShA (Yehuda-Judah, Shomron-Samaria & ‘Aza-Gaza) First". Immediately after the Six Day War, many believers saw clearly the hand of G-d in Israel’s stunning accomplishments against all the odds. However, the cynical, increasingly decadent Israeli left shared neither their faith nor their vision of the return to the territories as a step towards the restored Greater Israel. On the contrary, the Israeli left with their backers among the western powers, were determined to uproot the Greater Israel vision and made every effort to crush and demoralize the many Israelis who cherished it. Successive Israeli governments bowed repeatedly to pressures from Washington to show "restraint" in face of painful provocations by her enemies. If the same constant kowtowing by Israeli Jews to foreign pressure had existed in the years of the British Mandate (1917-48), Israel would never have attained her independence. It was the spirit of fierce Jewish nationalism that breathed in the souls of the pioneers and the Jewish military bands who fought against the Arab armies in the War of Independence that brought the Independent State of Israel into being. The Israeli Fighting Spirit This spirit of courageous Jewish nationalism shone in every word of Israel Prime Minister Menahem Begin’s famous retort to then-Senator Joe Biden in 1982 when he threatened to withhold US aid to Israel: "Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid." It was heartening to sense a return of this fighting spirit — the spirit of Judah and the Maccabees — in current Israel Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the same Joe Biden, now old and hoary, in the present war, openly defying his demands not to take the Gaza war into Rafah, not to enter Lebanon, etc. etc. In every case, following Biden’s dictates would have been a catastrophic capitulation to Israel’s enemies, while Israel’s successes came precisely from going against them. Let us understand that the new Middle East landscape, replete as it with possible dangers to Israel and ripple-effect repercussions for Jews and our allies all over the world, nevertheless presents us with entirely new opportunities for advancing the prophetic vision of Greater Israel. It may be that the hand of G-d has been relatively concealed within Israel’s military successes against her enemies, yet without His help, all the courage of our fighters and the brilliance of our intelligence officers could not have succeeded. We should be buoyed by the downfall of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad dictatorship, and the likely impending destruction of the Iranian regime. We must have faith that they came about through G-d’s redemptive kindness to Israel, that He is with us, and that He is leading us forward to the realization of the dreams of His servants the prophets. Yes, Israel needs to survive in a global jungle of wild beasts, and we have no option but to defend ourselves with a disciplined army and top-grade armaments. Yes, Israel is the holy land, birthplace of Abrahamic faith, a pluralistic society that gives religious freedom to Jews, Christians, Moslems, Bahai, agnostics, atheists… We do not seek to force people to observe Shabbat, eat kosher, pray… But those who know that the Land is promised to Israel under the terms of G-d’s Covenant — the Holy Torah — must strengthen our own observance and devotion, now more than ever, through the joy of seeing that G-d is truly with us. We must do everything in our power to promote the knowledge of the prophetic vision of a land properly policed, free of terror, murder, robbery, immorality, corruption and injustice, a land that will shine spiritual knowledge and the love of G-d to all the world, with Torah education for all Jews, Torah Academies for the nations, facilities for priests and Levites and their livelihood, and a rebuilt, functioning Temple.

A recently leaked proposal from 2018 has cast new light on Dr. Anthony Fauci’s plan to covertly spray “self-spreading” vaccines on large population centers using cutting-edge biotechnology, military-grade drones, and experimental medical research. ➡️Read more: https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/leaked-docs-expose-faucis-plan-to-spray-self-spreading-vaccines-on-population-centers-by-drone/ Leaked Docs Expose Fauci’s Plan to Spray ‘Self-Spreading’ Vaccines on Population Centers by Drone Baxter Dmitry Fact checked by The People's Voice Community A recently leaked proposal from 2018 has cast new light on Dr. Anthony Fauci’s plan to covertly spray “self-spreading” vaccines on large population centers using cutting-edge biotechnology, military-grade drones, and experimental medical research. The document, codenamed DEFUSE, was submitted by Fauci’s EcoHealth Alliance to DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and outlined plans for the deployment of aerosolized immune modulators, chimeric spike proteins, and self-spreading vaccines—over large human populations via drones. The DEFUSE proposal explicitly describes the use of aerosol delivery systems for large-area “inoculation of animals and humans,” raising the alarming possibility that such experiments may have been conducted on unsuspecting populations. BYPASS THE CENSORS Sign up to get unfiltered news delivered straight to your inbox. You can unsubscribe any time. By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Use Latest Video These aerosolized systems were designed to deliver advanced biological agents, including self-disseminating vaccines, sparking serious ethical and legal concerns about informed consent. This revelation has added a new dimension to debates over pandemic preparedness, as well as the shadowy intersection of public health and military technology. The DEFUSE proposal coincided with DARPA’s significant advancements in drone technology, which included aerosolized delivery systems. Some researchers suggest these systems may have been operationalized, pointing to the global deployment of drones during the COVID-19 pandemic under the guise of “disinfection.” Critics argue these operations lacked efficacy and question whether their true purpose was related to DEFUSE’s objectives. More chillingly, the proposal challenges the dominant lab-leak narrative by introducing a new theory: drones equipped with bioengineering payloads could have played a role in the pandemic’s origins. DARPA’s long-standing partnership with Moderna adds yet another layer to the controversy. DARPA Worked on Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Back in 2012 By 2012, DARPA—the U.S. military’s research and development arm—had already signed a contract with Moderna to develop RNA-based coronavirus vaccines that encode the spike protein. The work was carried out under project codename ‘ADEPT: PROTECT.’ Moderna would go on to patent a genetic sequence for their spike protein in February 2016. Jon Fleetwood writes: Six years after the patent was filed, scientists discovered an uncanny match between Moderna’s spike protein and the COVID pandemic virus’s genetic code. The pandemic virus genome contains a unique 19-nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID11652) that enables its spike protein to be activated by the furin enzyme. This furin activation enhances COVID’s ability to spread between human cells. Remarkably, scientists confirmed this snippet of code from the COVID pandemic virus perfectly matches Moderna’s spike protein sequence, patented three years before the outbreak. The researchers argued there’s a “one-in-3-trillion” chance that Moderna’s proprietary sequence could have also later appeared in the COVID pandemic virus naturally. The scientists published their findings in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Virology in February 2022. Whistleblower Suppression and Classified Research Whistleblowers have revealed alleged efforts by DARPA and intelligence agencies to suppress details about DEFUSE, citing national security concerns. Senators and watchdog organizations have since demanded investigations into what they describe as an unprecedented cover-up. The deliberate classification of DEFUSE-related research has led critics to question whether these technologies were tested, refined, or even deployed without public knowledge or consent. One of the most controversial aspects of the DEFUSE proposal involves self-spreading vaccines, which rely on engineered viruses to spread from host to host. This concept, while theoretically useful for controlling outbreaks, carries immense risks, including the potential for unintended mutations, uncontrollable spread, and weaponization. DEFUSE’s focus on gain-of-function research—enhancing the transmissibility of viruses—further heightens fears that these experimental technologies were weaponized under the guise of public health.

In Gaza, babies freeze to death, tents fall apart – Day 450 [email protected] December 31, 2024 francesca albanese, Hussam Abu Safiya, palestinian prisoners, Sde Teiman, winter in gaza Palestinian children struggle with cold and rainy weather as they try to survive in makeshift tents in Gaza City. (Anadolu/Getty Images) Compilation of news reports – IAK staff Israeli attacks have killed 27 Palestinians and wounded 149 in the latest 24-hour reporting period, Gaza’s Health Ministry says. Sixth baby dies from severe cold in Gaza as Israel raids hospitals Cold weather in Gaza has claimed the life of a baby, the sixth to die in a week, according to medical sources, as Israel continues its relentless attacks on hospitals across the strip. One-month-old Ali al-Batran died on Monday at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, quoting medical sources who attributed his death to plummeting temperatures. The day before, his twin brother, Jumaa al-Batran, perished from the cold in the displaced family’s flimsy tent in Deir el-Balah, also in the centre of the enclave, his father said, describing how Jumaa had been discovered with his head as “cold as ice”. The babies were born one month prematurely. Three of the six Palestinian babies who have died of hypothermia in the past week lived in the coastal “safe zone” of al-Mawasi, close to the southern town of Khan Younis.

By late November, over 80 percent of Gaza’s displacement tents had already been severely affected by the weather and the lack of essential facilities to deal with it. Video footage from 30 December and the past 24 hours has shown many tents, most of which are made from cloth, completely soaked in rainwater, or submerged in areas that have been flooded. “Babies in Gaza are freezing to death due to cold weather and lack of shelter … Blankets, mattresses, and other winter supplies have been stuck in the region for months waiting for approval to get into Gaza,” Commissioner-General of UNRWA Phillipe Lazzarini said last week, referring to Israel’s closure of all border crossings and the continued prevention of essential aid from entering the strip. Meanwhile, warplanes continue to carry out brutal attacks across the strip. Rain and cold temperatures make life miserable for displaced Palestinians in Gaza Rain and cold temperatures make life miserable for displaced Palestinians in Gaza (social media) Gaza hospital director held at notorious Israeli military detention center A prominent Palestinian hospital director who was arrested by Israel in a raid that closed the last major functioning health facility in northern Gaza is being held at a controversial military base that doubles as a detention facility, recently released former detainees have told CNN. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has not been seen publicly since Israeli forces raided Kamal Adwan hospital on Friday. Staff members accused Israeli forces of starting a fire in the hospital and said they were all rounded up outside and forced to remove their clothes, a process that took hours, before being forced to leave. Local journalist Mohammad Al-Sharif said he was among those who were detained from the hospital before his release 11 hours later. “We endured extremely difficult moments in inhumane conditions,” he told CNN. “The occupation army made no distinction between medical staff, patients, civilians, or journalists.” The Israeli military said on Saturday it had detained Dr. Abu Safiya because he was “suspected of being a Hamas terrorist operative,” and claimed that the hospital was being used by Hamas as a “command and control center.” The military did not provide any evidence to support the claims. Palestinian prisoners released this weekend from the facility said they saw Abu Safiya at the prison, and another former detainee said he heard Abu Safiya’s name being read out. CNN cannot independently verify their accounts. The Israeli military has not confirmed to CNN whether Abu Safiya is being held at the facility. The Sde Teiman torture camp, where dozens have been killed, has been referred to as Israel’s Guantanamo. RECOMMENDED READING: Inside Sde Teiman, the Base Where Israel Has Detained Thousands of Gazans Ha’aretz Op-Ed: Leave Gaza’s Hospitals Alone Excerpt from the lead editorial in Israeli daily Ha’aretz, December 30, 2024, published in both English and Hebrew: On Sunday, the IDF claimed that it had arrested over 240 terrorists at the hospital and that its director is suspected of being a Hamas operative. To prove this assertion, the army released pictures of two pistols and a knife found in the hospital. This meager haul does the opposite of supporting the IDF’s claims. For two pistols and a knife you don’t evacuate dozens of patients and doctors from a hospital and march them in their underwear, on a cold night, before the cameras in order to humiliate them. It is fair to assume that the deliberate damage to hospitals in Gaza has a different purpose. It appears that as part of the ethnic cleansing of the northern Strip. In the absence of medical facilities, northern Gaza will be emptied faster, as the sick and wounded flee south in an effort to find care [or die]. Such a large area cannot be left without hospitals, especially in wartime. The Fourth Geneva Convention accords special status to hospitals during wartime. The presence of small arms and ammunition in a hospital does not justify attacking it, nor does the presence of enemy fighters who are hospitalized there. Northern Gaza has been destroyed and devastated; the IDF is now mainly engaged in completing its destruction. This is an illegitimate action, and in any case it is prohibited to include hospitals. Israeli forces set fire on Friday to Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, which is the largest hospital in the area and serves over 400,000 citizens.

(WAFA) ‘Systematic elimination of prisoners’: Five Palestinians die in Israeli custody within 24 hours Four Palestinian prisoners died in Israeli custody on 30 December, bringing the number of detainees killed in Tel Aviv’s brutal prison system up to five within the past 24 hours. All five were detained from the Gaza Strip, where Israel continues its genocidal campaign against civilians and medical facilities. A statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) and Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs held the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) responsible for the crimes committed against prisoners, warning of a “growing humanitarian disaster” and accusing Israeli authorities of working to “systematically and publicly liquidate prisoners.” The Palestinian Ministry of Detainees and Ex-Detainees announced last week the deaths of two other Palestinian prisoners. Israeli detention centers and prisons where Palestinian detainees are held are known for their extremely repressive and violent conditions, which include torture, rape, and other human rights violations. The UN warned earlier this year that Palestinians imprisoned across Israeli jails and detention camps have also faced waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and electrocution by Israeli prison authorities since 7 October 2023.

Her comments reflect growing international concern about the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hospitals and clinics have been targeted and overwhelmed by relentless violence. MORE NEWS: IMEMC Daily Reports Al Jazeera: Palestinian Authority’s raid on Jenin appeals to Israeli, Western interests Anadolu Agency: OPINION – Palestine and the power of boycott: Lessons from 2024 and the roadmap for 2025 STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – DECEMBER 30, 2024: Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – December 30, 2024: at least 46,377* – 45,541 in Gaza; in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and/or settlers have killed at least 836 Palestinians (~172 of them children). Thousands of those killed in Gaza have yet to be identified, and an estimated 11,000 more are still buried under rubble. According to a report in the Lancet, by multiplying the reported deaths by five, it is possible to reach a conservative estimate of total deaths (including indirect causes like starvation and lack of medicine). Using the latest figure from AFP (45,541), it is reasonable to estimate at least 227,705 total deaths in Gaza since October 7th, 2023. According to a recent report by the UN Human Rights Office of identified fatalities in Gaza, about 44% were children. It is reasonable to estimate that 20,038 of known direct deaths and 100,190 of the total deaths are children. Since Israel launched an extermination campaign in northern Gaza in early October, over 4,000 Palestinians have been killed or are missing and another 12,000 wounded. Palestinian injuries from October 7, 2023 – December 30, 2024: at least 114,689 (including at least 108,338 in Gaza and 6,500 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.] Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – December 30, 2024: ~1,595 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 417*** (or 391) military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza (updated: Dec. 17); 43 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured. NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers. ADDITIONAL STATISTICS: Since October 7th, 2023: At least 50 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (at least 30 of them from Gaza). At least 43 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**. About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced. About 345,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. *The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible. Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so. **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. ***The figure does not include the reportedly 59 Israeli soldiers – nearly 17% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

Is UN torture expert overlooking Israeli abuses? Maureen Clare Murphy Rights and Accountability 24 December 2024 Alice Jill Edwards, the UN special rapporteur on torture, speaks during a press conference in Ukraine in September 2023. Ukrinform ABACA Last week, the UN special rapporteur on torture visited the Israeli towns attacked on 7 October 2023. As rumors that a ceasefire deal was near swirled in the media, Alice Jill Edwards reiterated her call for the “immediate and unconditional release of the hostages” held in Gaza since that date. “This is an unlawful act under international law. It’s an atrocity. It’s a war crime,” she said. Edwards told Reuters that she “had written to the Palestinian Authority about independent and verifiable reports of sexual torture and violence that occurred,” the agency reported, paraphrasing the UN expert. Edwards added that she would speak to Israeli officials about allegations of torture and abuse of Palestinians in its detention centers. But Palestinian human rights groups say that Edwards has ignored their extensive documentation of the “widespread use of sexual violence as a form of torture against Palestinian prisoners and detainees.” “Lack of meaningful action” In a letter signed by the Palestinian Human Rights Organizations Council and the Palestinian Non-governmental Organizations Network, the groups call out “what we perceive as a lack of meaningful action, responsiveness and impartiality” regarding Israeli abuses. They say that they will no longer engage with Edwards due to her failure to acknowledge “the lived realities of Palestinians.” The groups point out that Israel is holding the highest number of Palestinian prisoners in its history – more than doubling the number of Palestinians held before October 2023. And this doesn’t include the “thousands of Palestinians abducted from Gaza by Israeli forces and held in ad hoc military detention camps.” Not only has the number of Palestinians held by Israel sharply increased. “The scale and severity of crimes committed against Palestinian prisoners and detainees in every phase of their custody” has dramatically escalated too, the Palestinian groups say. At least 49 Palestinians have been killed or died in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023, though “the actual number is likely to be higher,” the rights groups add. The groups said that a confidential submission detailing the widespread use of sexual torture against Palestinian prisoners and detainees was given to Edwards. But she did not co-sign statements from fellow UN special rapporteurs “highlighting its use against Palestinians, including women and girls.” Nor did Edwards include the information provided by Palestinian human rights groups and the Palestinian Authority regarding Israel’s use of sexual torture in her latest thematic report to the UN General Assembly that was focused on the issue. Instead, the Palestinian groups say, the report by Edwards treats “Israeli violations as mere ‘allegations’ while describing crimes against Israelis as substantiated ‘evidence’ ” and falsely claims that the notorious Sde Teiman detention camp was closed. “Finally, it takes Israel as an example of good practice in supporting survivors to recover from sexual torture,” the groups added, “without any mention of Palestinian detainees, Palestinian victims and the treatment of Palestinian survivors.” The groups said they repeatedly tried to engage with Edwards “on critical issues” including Israel’s total warfare on civilians in Gaza, the targeting and killing of journalists in the territory and the escalated attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank – particularly violent mass arrests. But these evidence-based interventions have not been adequately acknowledged or investigated by Edwards, despite the “severity and entrenched nature” of Israel’s use of torture and violations of international law. Stark contrast In this context, Israel’s decision to allow Edwards to visit is notable. The welcome she received is in stark contrast to how Tel Aviv has barred entry since 2008 to the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the current holder of that mandate Francesca Albanese. Unlike Edwards, Albanese is outspoken about Israel’s violations of Palestinians rights and has faced a relentless smear campaign by the US and the Israeli government and its lobby groups in retaliation. This suggests that Israel grants and denies entry to UN experts based on Tel Aviv’s perception of their usefulness to its propaganda. The only public output from Edwards concerning the ongoing genocide in Gaza were two brief statements issued in May and in August. She sent only one communication to Israel in May. In one of those interventions, Edwards called for the transparent and impartial investigation of Israeli soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian detainee and for those responsible to be “held accountable by civilian courts of law.” Israel is not likely to carry out such an impartial investigation or prosecute those responsible in civilian courts, to say the least. Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, appeared to acknowledge this reality in his May announcement that he was applying for arrest warrants of Israeli leaders. He asserted that the court defers to national authorities “only when they engage in independent and impartial judicial processes that do not shield suspects and are not a sham.” Last month, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported that despite the deaths of dozens of Palestinian detainees in Israeli military custody, the military has not brought to trial any cases involving the death of a detainee. Evidence Edwards’ signature is notably absent from the many joint statements issued by her fellow independent UN human rights experts raising alarm and urging action to end the genocide in Gaza. But in January, Edwards co-signed along with Morris Tibdall-Binz, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, a statement demanding accountability for victims of sexual torture and unlawful killings during the 7 October 2023 attack. “The growing body of evidence about reported sexual violence is particularly harrowing,” Edwards and Tibdall-Binz stated. “Allegations of sexual torture include rapes and gang rapes, sexual assaults, mutilations and gunshots to genital areas.” A later report by an independent UN commission of inquiry, based on a thorough review of thousands of open-source items and hundreds of documents, pointed to “a pattern of sexual violence” corroborated by digital evidence. But the commission said it was unable to verify any allegations specifically of rape and that Israel obstructed its efforts to investigate such widely reported claims. The commission also notes “the absence of forensic evidence of sexual crimes committed on 7 October.” That commission also said that it was “unable to verify reports of sexualized torture and genital mutilation” and “found some specific allegations to be false, inaccurate or contradictory with other evidence or statements and discounted these from its assessment.” A UN rapporteur like Edwards ought to be particularly sensitive and cautious on this matter, since false claims about 7 October rapes made by politicians from various countries allied with Israel have been repeatedly debunked. There is a persistent lack of credible evidence to substantiate Israel’s claims of rapes and other sexual violence by Palestinians on 7 October 2023. This lack of evidence stands in contrast to the growing body of testimonies and other documentation of systematic sexual torture of Palestinian prisoners and detainees, thousands of whom are forcibly disappeared with their loved ones having no information of their whereabouts. Edwards’ upcoming report to the Human Rights Council will focus on hostage-taking as a form of torture. In their letter to Edwards, the Palestinian human rights groups said that centering this theme rather than the mass arrests and widespread torture of Palestinians “is yet another example of a troubling pattern that suggests you perceive Palestinians as less worthy victims.” In a call for submissions, Edwards described hostage-taking “as a form of manipulation, coercion and leverage in the hands of both state and non-state actors” – with human beings reduced to bargaining chips in “a cruel game.” She added that “recent data reveals that state actors now represent significant players” in the use of hostage-taking, whereby individuals are arbitrarily detained to be used as political pawns. It remains to be seen whether Edwards will include the Palestinians being held without charge or trial or otherwise arbitrarily detained by Israel among the victims of hostage-taking as a form of torture.

Putin Weighs In on the Syrian Situation Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his Results of the Year annual marathon year-ender interactive televised discussion with the Russian public and the media in Moscow on December 19, spoke at some length on the recent developments in Syria. These were Putin’s first public remarks on the topic and, coming 12 days after armed opposition forces seized Damascus and the exile of former president Bashar al-Assad and his family in Moscow, they signified that the Kremlin is recalibrating its compass of West Asian strategies. Putin disclosed that he will soon have a meeting with Assad, signalling a level of transparency that is very rare in international diplomacy in comparable volatile circumstances. We still do not know, for instance, what happened to Afghan president Ashraf Ghani after the Taliban takeover four years ago, or whether President Joe Biden even showed the courtesy to receive America’s fallen ally — and an erstwhile proxy at that. Putin sees no reason to feel ashamed or petrified over the regime change in Syria. Russia’s mission in Syria was to decimate the US-sponsored extremist groups destabilising that country and the region as part of a regime change project. And that enterprise has been hugely successful as Russia inflicted a crushing defeat to the American project. The Russian mission in Syria never had a hidden agenda to prop up the Syrian regime. As Putin explained, Russian ground forces were never deployed or involved in the fighting in Syria. The speed with which Assad was given asylum in Moscow and the peaceful transfer of power in Damascus hinted that the Kremlin was not taken by surprise. Again, compare the chaotic and desperate US evacuation on August 16, 2021 from Kabul airport with Afghans falling from the sky as American military planes took off. Yet, western propaganda is painting the town red that Russia has been “defeated” in Syria! The narrative by Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan seems entirely plausible when he claimed that at Ankara’s urging, Moscow and Tehran counselled Assad to peacefully transfer power. Fidan disclosed to NTV broadcaster on Dec. 13, “We spoke with the Russians and Iranians and told them that the man they had invested in was no longer someone worth investing in. They made one phone call, and that evening Assad was gone.” Putin openly acknowledged that Russia keeps contacts with the HTS and their conversation will have a bearing on the fate of the bases in Latakia. Russia is offering that the international community may use the bases to handle humanitarian assistance to Syria. Conceivably, Turkey, Russia and Iran synchronised their watches. Tehran disclosed in the weekend that it is reopening the embassy in Damascus and that the HTS has offered to provide security for the mission’s functioning. Through the entire three-and-a-half hour event in Moscow last Thursday, Putin never once voiced any criticism of Turkey’s backing for HTS or questioned the legitimacy of Ankara’s stated concerns in the Syrian situation — although he remains sceptical whether the Kurdish nationality question involving 30-35 million ethnic Kurdish population spread over Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran lends itself to a solution. Putin asserted that Moscow has already conveyed to the HTS as well as the regional states that the Russian bases are “capable of offering assistance… (and) this was met with understanding and a willingness to collaborate.” Putin stressed: “An overwhelming majority of them have expressed interest in retaining our military bases in Syria.” Putin ridiculed the Biden administration’s prognosis that Russia faces “defeat” in Syria. His broad message was that “there will be plenty to discuss” with Trump when they meet, implying that Biden Administration is no longer consequential to Syria’s future. The Biden Administration’s efforts to rally the Arab states have failed to gain traction as the trust deficit is formidable. Arabs suspect that the US’ continued illegal occupation has ulterior motives. Indeed, a new matrix is appearing, as Biden administration’s obsession shifts to creating a quagmire in the Middle East for the incoming Trump administration. In a somersault on Sunday, the US state department’s Assistant Secretary Barbara Leaf landed in Damascus to personally convey the US decision to scrap the $10 million reward for the arrest of HTS leader (Syria’s de facto leader) Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, following what she claimed to be “very productive” meetings with the group’s representatives. This abject surrender will now enable Washington to lift the sanctions against Syria per the infamous Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019. However, Russia has outmanoeuvred the Biden administration in Syria. Putin implied that a working relationship with the new leadership in Damascus is steadily developing. He said, “I do not know, we must reflect on how our relations will evolve with the political forces currently in control (in Damascus) and those that will govern this country in the future –- our interests must align. Should we remain, we must act in the interests of the host nation.” Putin noted: “What will those interests entail? What can we do for them? These questions demand careful consideration on both sides. We are already capable of offering assistance, including utilising our bases… while challenges remain, our position firmly aligns with international law and the sovereignty of all nations, including respect for Syria’s territorial integrity. This extends to supporting the stance of the current authorities governing the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. In this regard, we stand with them.” This is a big statement and it will resonate across the Arab world. Make no mistake, Russia’s transition from the Assad era is well under way. The contours of a pragmatic policy approach are emerging. Russian intelligence would have done the spade work in this transition. Putin remarked tauntingly that “the groups that were fighting against the Assad regime and the government forces back then have undergone internal changes. It is not surprising that many European countries and the United States are trying to develop relations with them now. Would they be doing this if they were terrorist organisations? This means that they have changed, doesn’t it? So, our goal (Russia’s intervention in Syria in 2015) has been achieved, to a certain degree.” From behind the scene, Turkey is tacitly encouraging Russia’s partnership with HTS. Significantly, Putin dwelt on the ramifications of the Kurdish problem where Turkey may need Russia’s cooperation to navigate the tricky pathway going forward. Turkey’s concerns have four main templates: one, ensure Turkey’s border security with Syria; two, create conditions for the return of Syrian refugees from Turkey; three, push Syrian Kurdish forces away from the border regions; and, four, counter the covert European and US-Israeli support for an independent Kurdish state. Putin underscored “the gravity of the Kurdish issue.” There is no conflict of interests here between Turkey and Russia. While Putin spoke with understanding and some sympathy for Turkey’s legitimate concerns, he did not mince words to condemn Israel’s naked land grab in Syria. In his words, “I believe that the main beneficiary of the developments in Syria is Israel… In the Golan Heights, Israel has advanced along the front by 62–63 kilometres and to a depth of 20–25 kilometres. They have occupied fortifications originally built for Syria by the Soviet Union, strong defensive structures comparable to the Maginot Line. “It seems there are already several thousand (Israeli) personnel stationed there. It appears not only that they have no intention of leaving, but they may also be planning to further reinforce their presence.” Putin warned that “further complications down the line” are to be expected, as the Israeli occupation could “ultimately result in the fragmentation of Syria.” In this regard, Russia shares the same perception as Turkey, Iran and the Arab states. Interestingly, Putin exuded confidence that Russia is on the right side of history with a policy reset that aims to harmonise with Turkey and Iran as well as the Arab states. Indeed, this diplomatic feat enhances Russia’s standing in West Asia. Conversely, to retrench or not in Syria — that’s the question that will haunt the Trump presidency. The Pentagon is already pushing back against Trump’s statement “we have nothing to do (in Syria).” Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder has revealed that US troop numbers in Syria have reached 2,000 –- more than double the previously reported nine hundred. These troops remain actively deployed with no plans for withdrawal. * Click the share button below to email/forward this article to your friends and colleagues.

It does not tell you that you are sick.” –Dr. Kary Mullis, (image right) Nobel Laureate and Inventor of the RT-PCR, passed away in August 2019. “…All or a substantial part of these positives could be due to what’s called false positives tests.” –Dr. Michael Yeadon, distinguished scientist, former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Pfizer “This misuse of the RT-PCR technique is applied as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of constitutional rights, … under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT-PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients.” –Dr. Pascal Sacré, Belgian physician specialized in critical care and renowned public health analyst. “I have seen massive efforts made to deliberately inflate Covid death numbers by relabelling cancer patients and stroke victims and all manner of normal regular deaths as Covid, in fact virtually anyone getting into an ambulance. The methods used to do so were totally flawed, PCR tests for example being run on 45 cycles we all know to be worthless, yet people are being euthanised on this basis and sometimes only on the basis of a chest x-ray alone.” –John O’Looney, Funeral Director, Milton Keynes, U.K. From the outset of this crisis in January 2020, all far-reaching policy decisions upheld and presented to the public as a “means to saving lives” were based on flawed and invalid RT-PCR positive cases. These invalid COVID-19 “estimates” have been used to justify confinement, social distancing, wearing of the face mask, the prohibition of social gatherings, cultural and sports events, the closure of economic activity, as well as the enforcement of the mRNA “vaccine” launched in November 2020. There is no such thing as a “COVID-19 confirmed case”.– Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics (emeritus), University of Ottawa. *** The late Dr. Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, has been blowing the whistle on Fauci and big pharma for 30 years. Outstanding video production and analysis by Greg Reese VIDEO. The Polymerase Chain Reaction Test by Greg Reese May the Late Dr. Kary Mullis’ Legacy Live. * The slanted methodology applied under WHO guidance for detecting the alleged spread of the virus is the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test, which has been routinely applied all over the world since February 2020. (This Text below is an excerpt from Michel Chossudovsky’s book, August 2022) The Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test by Michel Chossudovsky The RT-PCR test has been used worldwide to generate millions of erroneous “COVID-19 confirmed cases”, which are then used to sustain the illusion that the alleged pandemic is real. This assessment based on erroneous numbers has been used in the course of three and and a half years to spearhead and sustain the fear campaign. “Confirmed” is a misnomer. A “confirmed RT-PCR positive case” does not imply a “COVID-19 confirmed case”. “Positive RT-PCR is not synonymous with the COVID-19 disease! PCR specialists make it clear that a test must always be compared with the clinical record of the patient being tested, with the patient’s state of health to confirm its value [reliability]. (Dr. Pascal Sacré) The procedure used by the national health authorities is to categorize all RT-PCR positive cases as “COVID-19 confirmed cases” (with or without a medical diagnosis). Ironically, this routine process of identifying “confirmed cases” is in derogation of the CDC’s own guidelines: “Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms. The performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of 2019-nCoV infection. This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.” (emphasis added) The methodology used to detect and estimate the spread of the virus is flawed and invalid. False Positives The earlier debate at the outset of the crisis focused on the issue of “false positives.” Acknowledged by the WHO and the CDC, the RT-PCR test was known to produce a high percentage of false positives. According to Dr. Pascal Sacré: “Today, as authorities test more people, there are bound to be more positive RT-PCR tests. This does not mean that COVID-19 is coming back, or that the epidemic is moving in waves. There are more people being tested, that’s all.” The debate on false positives (acknowledged by health authorities) points to so-called errors without necessarily questioning the overall validity of the RT-PCR test as a means to detecting the alleged spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The PCR Test Does Not Detect the Identity of the Virus The RT-PCR test does not identify/detect the virus. What the PCR test identifies are genetic fragments of numerous viruses (including influenza viruses types A and B and coronaviruses which trigger common colds). The results of the RT-PCR test cannot “confirm” whether an individual who undertakes the test is infected with SARS-CoV-2. Failures of the PCR Test, Ridiculously Low Numbers Even if the 2019 nCoV had been detected and duly identified, the numbers of PCR-RT confirmed (cumulative) positive cases in the period leading up to to March 11, 2020 used as a justification to enforce the Lockdown of more than 190 countries were ridiculously low. The 80,981 cases for China also pertains to confirmed (cumulative) PCR positive cases. Note the new cases in China (PCR positive) on March 12, 2020 are of the order of “321 new” page30image710502480 Image: Total cumulative cases on March 12, 2020 (Source: WHO) For Further Details see: The WHO Confirms that the Covid-19 PCR Test is Flawed: Estimates of “Positive Cases” are Meaningless. The Lockdown Has No Scientific Basis By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, December 10, 2023 There Never Was a “New Corona Virus”, There Never Was a Pandemic, By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, November 03, 2024 The WHO on January 13, 2021, acknowledged that the PCR test was invalid. The official text of the WHO entitled “Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) Technologies that Use Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for Detection of SARS-CoV-2″ is featured in the Annex below. The WHO’s Mea Culpa by Michel Chossudovsky WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology. (emphasis added) WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity.” “Invalid Positives” is the Underlying Concept This is not an issue of “Weak Positives” and “Risk of False Positive Increases”. What is at stake is a “Flawed Methodology” which leads to invalid estimates. What this admission of the WHO confirms is that the estimate of covid positive from a PCR test (with an amplification threshold of 35 cycles or higher) is invalid. In which case, the WHO recommends retesting: “a new specimen should be taken and retested…”. The WHO calls for “Retesting”, which is tantamount to “We Screwed Up”. That recommendation is pro-forma. It won’t happen. Millions of people Worldwide have already been tested, starting in early February 2020. Nonetheless, we must conclude that unless retested, those estimates (according to the WHO) are invalid. From the outset, the PCR test has routinely been applied at a Ct amplification threshold of 35 or higher, following the January 2020 recommendations of the WHO. What this means is that the PCR methodology as applied Worldwide has led to the compilation of faulty and misleading Covid statistics. And these are the statistics which are used to measure the progression of the so-called “pandemic”. Above an amplification cycle of 35 or higher, the test will not detect fragments of the virus. Therefore, the official “covid numbers” are meaningless. It follows that there is no scientific basis for confirming the existence of a pandemic. Which in turn means that the lockdown / economic measures which have resulted in social panic, mass poverty and unemployment (allegedly to curtail the spread of the virus) have no justification whatsoever. According to scientific opinion: “if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the case in most laboratories in Europe & the US), the probability that said person is actually infected is less than 3%, the probability that said result is a false positive is 97% (Pieter Borger, Bobby Rajesh Malhotra, Michael Yeadon, Clare Craig, Kevin McKernan, et al, Critique of Drosten Study) As outlined above, “the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%”: It follows that using the >35 cycles detection will indelibly contribute to “hiking up” the number of “fake positives”. At the time of writing (mid-March 2021), despite the WHO retraction, the PCR test is being used extensively to hike up the numbers with a view to sustaining the fear campaign, justifying the ongoing lockdown policies as well as the implementation of the Covid vaccine. Ironically, the flawed numbers based on “invalid positives” are in turn being manipulated to ensure an upward trend in so-called “Confirmed Covid -19 Cases”. Moreover, those PCR tests are not routinely accompanied by a medical diagnosis of the patients who are being tested. And now, national health authorities have issued (fake) warnings of a “Third Wave” as part of their propaganda campaign in support of the Covid-19 Vaccine. The WHO confirms that the Covid PCR test procedure as applied is invalid. There is absolutely no scientific basis for implementing the Covid Vaccine. Both the WHO and the scientific assessment of Pieter Borger, et al (quoted above) confirm unequivocally that the tests adopted by governments to justify the lockdown and the destabilization of national economies are INVALID. Invalid Data and the Numbers’ Game It should be understood that these “invalid estimates” are the “numbers” quoted relentlessly 24/7 by the media which have been used to feed the fear campaign and “justify” ALL the policies put forth by the governments: lockdown, closure of economic activity, poverty and mass unemployment, bankruptcies social distancing, face mask, curfew, the vaccine. the health passport Invalid Data.

(in Annex) ANNEX Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) Technologies that Use Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Link to the original WHO Document Product type: Nucleic acid testing (NAT) technologies that use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of SARS-CoV-2 Date: 13 January 2021 WHO-identifier: 2020/5, version 2 Target audience: laboratory professionals and users of IVDs. Purpose of this notice: clarify information previously provided by WHO. This notice supersedes WHO Information Notice for In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device (IVD) Users 2020/05 version 1, issued 14 December 2020. Description of the problem: WHO requests users to follow the instructions for use (IFU) when interpreting results for specimens tested using PCR methodology. Users of IVDs must read and follow the IFU carefully to determine if manual adjustment of the PCR positivity threshold is recommended by the manufacturer. WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology. WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity. Most PCR assays are indicated as an aid for diagnosis, therefore, health care providers must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, assay specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information. Actions to be taken by IVD users: Please read carefully the IFU in its entirety. Contact your local representative if there is any aspect of the IFU that is unclear to you. Check the IFU for each incoming consignment to detect any changes to the IFU. Provide the Ct value in the report to the requesting health care provider. Notes 1. Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2.
