Combat-Veteran Congresswoman and Army Major Tulsi Gabbard appeared on Joe Rogan this week to confirm her candidacy for President of America, proving to be the only candidate articulating the vociferous anti-war sentiments of war-fatigued American soldiers. During her 16 years in military service, Major Gabbard has deployed twice to the Middle East as a combat medic, and today continues to serve in the Hawaii National Guard. Unlike virtually everyone else running for the Oval Office in 2020, Tulsi understands from first-hand experience and sacrifice what it actually means to be in war. She has also served for over 6 years on the Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees, working intimately on issues related to National Security and Foreign Policy. It seems only logical that anyone tasked with the responsibility of serving as Commander-In-Chief of the most powerful military in the world should be required to be a veteran of the awesome forces they command.
History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. The American Empire is addicted to wars for oil to keep the military machine running. Today, Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on the planet, and the Empire wants them. But we can’t recklessly risk the lives of our military personnel whom we’ve obliged to go steal that oil, without first convincing everyone else that the democratically-elected leader of Venezuela is an apparently “evil tyrant” who “oppresses his own people”. America’s support for brutal dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan (countries that behead their own citizens by the bushel) clearly demonstrates her ambivalence about supporting dictators and tyrants in principal. But when a country possesses resources that the Empire covets, our corporate-controlled media toe the military-industrial line and push the same, tired, regime-change narrative we’ve all heard before: they’re oppressing their own people, so we need to invade…you know, for democracy!
Unlike the cloak-and-dagger corruption of yesteryear, the Trump Administration brazenly advertised the modus operandi of the Empire like never before by fulfilling the role of Secretary of State with oil industry captain Rex “Exxon” Tillerson at it’s inception. And for the first time in modern history, the head of the Imperial Executive is a man who has openly admitted his support for the seizure of foreign oil resources, claiming erroneously that ISIS would never have gained a foothold had we simply “taken the oil” from Iraq.
Though television interviewers pretend to be tough on Trump, they rarely point out obvious fallacies in his Administration’s foreign policy logic, as long as said policies continue to allow the Imperial war machine to continue its pillaging of the entire world, unabated. Not a single talking head on the corporate-owned media opposes another illegal war thus creating another wave of wounded and traumatized American soldiers returning home unable to cope with the horrible crimes they’ve carried out on behalf of Wall Street’s ownership class.
Interestingly, these very same talking heads have lied for more than two years about Russian collusion, but fail to mention the fact that Venezuela is a client state of Russia – one of many facts conveniently ignored due to the fact that it is decidedly inconvenient for, and stands in direct contradiction to, the “Putin owns Trump” narrative.
Anya Parampil, a journalist who spent a month in Venezuela this year, brilliantly summed up the corporate-media’s dismally schizophrenic coverage of Venezuela this week:
“The media are lying about the situation in Venezuela. Imagine if Hillary Clinton had refused to admit defeat after losing to Trump in 2016, banded together a group of 24 US soldiers and attempted to take the White House by force. Do you really think she would be walking freely on the streets the way Juan Guidó is right now in Caracas? And the media would call it what it is: a coup. The opposition has no support. Guido will only ride into power on the back of a US tank.
“We keep hearing about a “humanitarian crisis” in Venezuela, but what we never hear is that is the intended result of US sanctions that have targeted Venezuela since 2015, which according to a report released in April 2019 by the Center for Economic and Policy Research, have led to the deaths of 40,000 Venezuelans and will lead to the deaths of thousands more if these sanctions are not overturned.
“If the Trump Administration really cared about the people of Venezuela, it would end the sanctions against Venezuela.”
Legalization benefits consumers, but it has not been good for farmers. Under legalization, growers and dispensary owners are forced to pay exorbitant fees and taxes. The only way for them to keep their heads above water is to take their operations to a huge scale and compete with big corporations. Even under legalization, small-time farmers continue to endure familiar scenes of militarized commandos leaping from combat vehicles to cuff people and chop plants. Police unions, private prisons, alcohol & tobacco companies and the pharmaceutical industry are all threatened by the prospect of decriminalization. The prison business, America’s fastest growing industry, depends on this country maintaining the drug war as well as the false ideologies that justify it, to maximize the number of incarcerated citizens and maximize shareholder profits. The biggest prison population in the world today are a non-violent majority who never actually committed what are defined in the code as “crimes”.
After 6 years and 10 months, Ecuador’s new president has decided to rescind Julian’s political asylum, likely as a result of deals made with the American intelligence community who aren’t happy about the truths revealed by WikiLeaks.
This morning, 11 April 2019, Julian Assange was forced out of the Ecuadorian embassy by London’s metropolitan police. He’s being held on the specious charge of jumping bail back in 2012. He now likely faces extradition to the United States.
Big Telecom funds the studies that tell us their toxic tech is safe. Now they’re rolling out an untested application of a weapons-grade technology to actualize smart cars and the Internet of Things. 5G is designed to deliver concentrated and focused electromagnetic radiation in excess of 100 times current levels, in the same manner as directed energy weapons. 5G is being unveiled in America first because the U.S. allows radiation thresholds that are orders of magnitude higher than other civilized western countries that acknowledge the cancer and health risks associated with wireless signals.
It’s no longer a subject for debate that wireless radiation is carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and genotoxic for humans. And it’s irresponsible to begin unrolling another untested technology when we’re not even measuring what our exposures are to existing networks. But thanks to the industry-owned FCC, the deployment of small cells and 5G cannot legally be slowed by local legislation.
America is presently enthralled in three epidemics that all funnel into a single epidemic; Suicide, violent crime, and opioid overdose all plague the United States and point towards an overall deterioration of mental health. If we examine these epidemics in the context of our EMF exposure we can see a clear correlation. But since the National Toxicology Program’s research only assesses the risk of a single cell phone, we have no way to evaluate our total exposure. Meanwhile we’re daily exposed to multiple wireless networks, cell towers, smart meters, and cell phones.
Dr. Sharon Goldberg warns that putting small cells closer to people’s homes and bedrooms is scientifically and economically dangerous. We’re told that 5G will allow lots of data to be transmitted over high frequency radio waves, which have designated for weapons but not communications because the signals are so easily disrupted by walls, trees, and even weather. Assuming that antennas will need a clear line-of-sight and require tighter spacing, carriers envision dense overlapping networks of small cells. Because existing utility poles and street lights can’t always support the heavy equipment, forests of unnecessary new poles are planned.
America’s radiation levels are not determined by the EPA or CDC or any organization that deals with health. Instead, America’s radiation levels are determined by the FCC, which does not assess human health impacts because the agency became completely captured by the wireless industry decades ago thanks to the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Since the FCC is staffed by former members of the Telecom industry, Big Telecom influences our regulatory bodies to ensure that further expansion of their dangerous technologies goes on unmolested. This also means that much of the available science is heavily influenced by industry funding.
You can’t just roll out a research project on human beings unless you have their informed consent, as well as the approval of independent experts who have examined the research and are convinced of the safety of emerging technologies.
America’s technological obsessions take a toll on our health. Our bodies were not designed to deal with the explosion of EMF activity currently pulsing with microwave radiation everywhere in our environment via cell towers, Wi-Fi, smart meters and the Internet of Things. Your heart and brain are sensitive electrical organs that can be disrupted by exposure to EMFs. Pregnant women in China are required to wear Faraday clothing to shield the unborn from EMFs. Overwhelming evidence illustrates strong correlations between EMFs and infertility, DNA damage, cancer, cardiomyopathy and neuropsychiatric conditions. Meanwhile, individuals with electrohypersensitivity report headaches, ringing in the ears, insomnia, fatigue, migraines, indigestion, chest pain, and confusion. But not everyone who is sensitive feels it right away.
We should treat electrosensitive individuals as the canaries in the coal mine that they are, and seriously question our dependency on wireless technology. Just because the rest of us can’t feel the harmful effects yet doesn’t mean they aren’t affecting us.
Diabetes and heart failure are also linked to EMF exposures because electromagnetic fields and dirty electricity are associated with elevated blood sugar and diabetes. Thus, the closer you live to a cell tower, the higher your blood glucose.
Not only are children addicted to their smartphones, but public schools are now increasingly filled with laptops, tablets and online homework because Silicon Valley pushed tech heavily on schools to make an easy profit. And as public school children daily bathe in an ocean of wireless radiation, the tech elites make sure to keep screens out of their own children’s schools.
As with DDT and tobacco or asbestos and lead, captured regulators and scientists assure us EMFs are safe. And EMF pollution is unique from cigarettes and DDT in that its invisibility makes it easy to dismiss. But the effects are very real. Wealthy families who went all-in on Smart Homes ended up getting sick within just a few months, suggesting that we simply do not need wireless technology.
Even the wireless industry itself has begun acknowledging that users should not use their devices within an inch of the body, while encouraging the use use of speaker phone and air tube headsets.
Nobody should keep a phone in their pocket when it’s on. If tucking your phone on into a pocket or near the body, keep it on airplane mode to suspend the signal transmission of the multiple antennas.
You can visit Antenna Search to find out how close you live to cell towers in your area.
To further minimize your overall exposure, wire your internet with shielded Ethernet cables and move towards fiber optics.
Since your body rejuvenates during sleep, deactivate Wi-Fi at night.
Help reduce exposure to adolescents and children as much as possible. If your kids use an iPad, put the data on the device and turn the Wi-Fi off.
You can also seek out Faraday clothing to help reduce your exposure to the constant bombardment of EMFs currently in our environment.
Taking these steps can help to make our homes, businesses and schools safer.
The Telecom lobby might be well-funded and politically powerful, but we have enough evidence to at least take precautions when using this technology. If enough of us wake up to the health risks associated with wireless technology, industry will start making safe technology and our entire society can move towards a healthier future.
If smart meters were designed to use fiber optics, thousands upon thousands around the world would not have been injured by them. We should make sure that as we move forward with new technologies we make them made safe for biological life, and test them legitimately to make sure that they’re safe.
