The landmark legal action also involves human rights lawyers from Israel in legal documents are also accusing China of state sponsored bio-terrorism putting pressure on China’s President Xi Jinping to account fully for his country’s actions in the spread of the virus that has killed hundreds of thousands worldwide.
It’s not about Covid-19. It’s not about Uighurs. It’s not about a Putin pee tape. It’s not about terrorists. It’s not about weapons of mass destruction. It’s about world domination, plain and simple. And the oligarch-owned political/media class who controls the dominant narrative is helping to facilitate that.
I never voted for a world order where one powerful government is constantly attacking, destroying and sabotaging any nation that threatens its hegemony. I’m pretty sure you never did either. And yet here we are, forced to accept this insane paradigm, even when the targeted nations in question are nuclear armed and anything could go drastically wrong at any moment as a result of miscommunication or technical malfunction in the heat and confusion of escalated aggression.

President Trump’s campaign manager and a circle of allies have seized control of the Republican Party’s voter data and fund-raising apparatus, using a network of private businesses whose operations and ownership are cloaked in secrecy, largely exempt from federal disclosure.
The AP confirmed that at least four former Cambridge Analytica employees are affiliated with Data Propria, a new company specializing in voter and consumer targeting work similar to Cambridge Analytica’s efforts before its collapse. The company’s former head of product, Matt Oczkowski, leads the new firm, which also includes Cambridge Analytica’s former chief data scientist.
#China is managing not only to survive but to re-boost its economy during the #CoronavirusLockdown while most continents' economy will suffer dearly the consequences of the lockdown. This is scaring the American leadership for two reasons: +
#Europe thought #coronavirus is hitting #Italy not the continent. No support was offered to #Italia. #France called 4 municipality elections 1 day be4 Macron saying "we r @ war w/ the virus". #COVID19 revealed the unprepared medical system the #EU wrongly believed it was perfect+
...It turned out the Middle East has a poorer medical care system but much more concern about the safety of their inhabitants, taking immediate measures to protect their citizens. No Middle Eastern country is blaming #China. Only those pretending to be "perfect" are accusing it+
#US President is ready to do anything to be re-elected to the point of encouraging the population to ask for financial compensation from #China when the dust will settle down.
But the main point these leaders are trying to divert our attention from is called: readiness..+
It is true we have 2go back 2work because we can't stay at home for another 8-12 months until an antidote is found. That means we shall live with the virus and, for #US and some #EU countries, try to suck #China's money, the one to be blamed
Europe has never been united over one single Foreign policy. So the #US is left with a weak continent trying to sort it its own problems and a strong front led by #China and #Russia.
The US empire will decline, with time, but its weakness is obvious: +
Choose your leaders: who seek solidarity. who invest in supporting nature and health care research. Who look after the climate and Earth that is giving us back our own shit.
Don't select leaders who are out to squeeze money from other countries so they are not to be blamed.
No model or guesswork is required to foresee the deadly impact. Job losses cause extreme suffering. Every 1% hike in the unemployment rate will likely produce a 3.3% increase in drug overdose deaths and a 0.99% increase in suicides according to data provided by the National Bureau of Economic Research and the medical journal Lancet. These are facts based on experience, not models. If unemployment hits 32%, some 77,000 Americans are likely to die from suicide and drug overdoses as a result of layoffs. Scientists call these fatalities deaths of despair.
Then add the predictable deaths from alcohol abuse caused by unemployment. Health economist Michael French from the University of Miami and a co-author found a “significant association between job loss” and binge drinking and alcoholism.
The impact of layoffs goes beyond suicide, drug overdosing and drinking. Overall, the death rate for an unemployed person is 63% higher than for someone with a job, according to findings in Social Science & Medicine.
Layoff-related deaths are likely to far outnumber the 60,400 coronavirus deaths predicted through August.
This comparison is not meant to understate the horror of coronavirus for those who get it and their families.
This bigotry isn’t coming from the “lower-classes” that liberals love to mock so much, but from very top — the crème de la crème of our media and political class.
