Trump, Guilty Of Negligent Homicide, Has Succeeded In Spreading The Pandemic Into Rural America
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
On Tuesday, a dozen countries reported over 10,000 new cases. The U.S. led the way with 63,663. COVID-19 has found a very welcoming environment in Trumpistan. Rural America paid attention to Trump's self-serving bullshit and gaslighting-- and now they're starting to pay the price. The pandemic spread into rural America at what the *Daily Yonder* called "a record-breaking pace again last week, adding 160 counties to the red-zone list and bringing the total number of rural Americans who have tested positive for the coronavirus to more than 1 million. Nearly 70% of the nation’s 1,9...
The Biden family crime syndicate
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 17 hours ago
This is such a nightmare. I don’t like Biden don’t want him as a President, but I feel such pain for those who have had their party taken over by radicals, then to get this kind of a candidate. And what a horror they’ll have if he makes it to the White House. I doubt that this is unusual, and therefore Trump who is not part of the club is such an anathema. When Trump said “drain the swamp” I doubt even he knew the level of corruption he would find once he was on the inside. As a businessman and entertainer, he was well aware of the smarmy deals and palm greasing that goes on to k...

The mysterious lightbulb moment of the Presidential Debate
Uriel, 'Nox & Friends - 17 hours ago
People like me who have been prescribed drugs to survive recognize the signs when we reach a limit and need to retreat to take the next round or rest. The same can be said of Biden. There came a moment about halfway through the debate where watching carefully, one can see him pause and literally “nap” in a short meltdown. Until that time Biden, though often not truthful, did make sense and stumbled very little through his words. This then is that light bulb “on/off” moment where things began to seriously go wrong for the man and his speaking ability. … Continue reading →

The history of capitalism has been punctuated by periodic struggles for hegemony over the world economy, leading to a centuries-long series of world wars.1 In the twenty-first century, all signs are pointing to another such period of hegemonic struggle, this time between the United States and China, although complicated in this case by the unique, indeterminate aspects of the post-revolutionary Chinese social formation, which is neither entirely capitalist nor entirely socialist.

Health Impact News has been able to find some copies, and we have uploaded them to our Bitchute channel. Here are some of the presentations by the Frontline Doctors at their White Coat Sum...

The search for dark matter – an unknown and invisible substance thought to make up the vast majority of matter in the universe – is at a crossroads. Although it was proposed nearly 70 years ago and has been searched for intensely - with large particle colliders, detectors deep underground and even instruments in space – it is still nowhere to be found. But astronomers have promised to leave “no stone unturned” and have started to cast their net wider out into the galaxy. The idea is to extract ...

Richard Potts, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Richard Potts* *Environment, World* As humanity now confronts an era of environmental uncertainty on a global scale, is our species sufficiently nimble to engage social networks, new technologies, and reliable sources of information to adjust to the environmental disruptions ahead? People thrive all across the globe, at every temperature, altitude and landscape. How did human beings become so successful at adapting to whatever environment we wind up in?
