George Washington and the First Mass Military Inoculation

Interesting conflicting facts on the surface - in the headlines but it appears one needs to read the full article to learn that the form of inoculation incorporated by Washington was a rudimentary one, variolation. There were various means utilized to administer this, from scratching smallpox puss into the skin to snorting dried powdered puss to using puss from cows or milkmaids infected with cowpox. Some of these inoculations originated in China centuries prior to Edward Jenner's development of a more refined vaccine.

Definitely some interesting reading;

The cover-up
At the height of the six-day war in 1967, Israel attacked a US spy ship, killing 34 men and injuring many more. The Israelis claimed it was an accident, the Americans backed them up. But, as James Bamford reveals in his new book, both governments concealed the horrific truth

A Warning From Europe: The Worst Is Yet to Come


Polarization. Conspiracy theories. Attacks on the free press. An obsession with loyalty. Recent events in the United States follow a pattern Europeans know all too well.

”I was featured on the covers of two pro-regime magazines, wSieci and Do Rzeczy—former friends of ours work at both—as the clandestine Jewish coordinator of the international press and the secret director of its negative coverage of Poland.”

Her coordinating role is not clandestine, everyone knows who she is and her subversive activities has been exposed in the national press. She belong to a type of foreign agents that work to fundamentally change Europe through various tactics such as sexual bolschevism and mass migration. This is what they really mean when they speak of democracy, it has nothing to do with the will of the people. And as for your so called ”free press”, it is nothing but a propaganda construct:

In reality, every one of the newspapers has a master, and in every case this master is the capitalist, the owner. This master, not the editor, is the one who directs the policy of the paper. If the editor tries to write other than what suits the master, he is ousted the next day. This press, which is the absolutely submissive and characterless slave of the owners, molds public opinion.

Why should Poland, or any other nation for that matter, allow a hostile foreign entity to influence public opinion? Limiting subversive foreign influence over public opinion is a moral duty of any national government.

In as much as the press in any country in run by those with money, I am not sure how one would limit such influence.
One of my least favourite memories is of Dick Cheney bragging about being able to spend obscene amounts of money to control
the foreign press with the expressed intent of steering the news here in the US.
Would like to hear more of your perspective.
