Israel's attempts to dissociate itself from its genocide is unraveling. The recent call published by The Lancet to remove the Israeli Medical Association from the World Medical Association is delivering a precise blow to self-perpetuated Israeli delusions of "professionalism" and "morality". The IMA fully accepted the widely discredited Israeli claim that all Gazan hospitals served as Hamas command posts and did not merit professional solidarity, even as Israel was intentionally killing medical personnel. Letters of protest were issued only when it became clear that Israel was starving Gaza. In fact, letters of protest were most likely issued when the leadership of the IMA realized it no longer had international allies and that its attempts to weave its way between Israeli authorities and universal professional standards were failing. When a well-know physician, an anaesthesiologist known for joining rescue missions to far-off destinations (demonstrating Israel's "morality") as well as for serving in the IDF reserves rven after he had turned 80, came forth to testify about the events taking place in the infamous Sde Teiman camp, he was seen as a civic hero. His testimony brought about the arrest of a group of prison guards who had been documented abusing a Palestinian prisoner. While these guards have since been reinstated, the physician published an op-ed with Haaretz today, self-exculpatory but also full of justifications for his actions while serving in the camp. He specifically demanded defense as a servant of the state, insinuating that responsibility was now a lethal load and was being denied by every component of the genocidal apparatus. All this to say that Israel can no longer claim even the pretense of coherence in its self-justifying narratives. It is now a matter of denial ("it's not genocide!") or "following orders". This process has taken a criminally long time. It is compounded by Israel's removal from international and regional decision-making forums. Still, it is gathering momentum. The rats are fleeing.

Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands plan to build four artificial islands to quadruple offshore wind in the North Sea – the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #tech #GreenNewDeal

On this day in 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

The Trump administration has deported an Iranian pro-democracy activist to the Central African Republic, a "super dangerous" transfer to a country with which the activist has no connection. trib.al/iqNIaLf

Why are administrators secretly fine-tuning scientific publications on sensitive topics ?

"The virus leak is a direct result of top-down pressure for China to be seen as leading the world in vaccines and virus science."

“A geopolitical Chernobyl.” That’s the stark assessment of the US-Israeli war with Iran, from France’s former prime minister Dominique de Villepin. “What we see is a meltdown of the core reactor that is the US leadership.”

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

Journalist (Ella Finkel) who in 2023 claimed lab origin for pandemic was growing ever weaker uses her influence with gullible/complicit ABC to pontificate on scientific uncertainty & Karl Popper. "How to deal with misinformation in a 'post-truth world'" abc.net.au

Elizabeth Finkel doesn't debunk anything. Proximal Origin was a fraudulent paper, period. Another science journalist throwing her own credibility under the bus.

**** MISINFORMATION ALERT **** The article "This little theory went to market" by Elizabeth Finkel draws conclusions from extremely unreliable sources and logical fallacies. Ignore it. themonthly.com.au/issue/2023…

Fmr. NIH Director Francis Collins deliberately scrubbed Fauci’s name from the infamous Proximal Origins paper because of Fauci’s glaring conflict of interest. Nature Medicine (the publisher) offered no condemnation or scrutiny of the ethics. These COVID investigations matter because they expose protectionism within the scientific community that breeds gatekeeping. It's suppressing research, stifling innovation, destroying objectivity, & eroding public trust.
