On at least four occasions since 2019, Elon Musk has predicted that his medical device company, Neuralink, would soon start human trials of a revolutionary brain implant to treat intractable conditions such as paralysis and blindness. Yet the company, founded in 2016, didn't seek permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) until early 2022 and the agency rejected the application. Musk has detailed a bold vision for Neuralink: Both disabled and healthy people will pop into neighborhood facilities for speedy surgical insertions of devices with functions ranging from curing obesity, autism, depression or schizophrenia to web-surfing and telepathy. Musk also has said Neuralink would restore full mobility to paralyzed patients. Reuters exclusively reported late last year that the federal government was investigating the company's treatment of its research animals. The probe was launched amid growing employee concern that the company is rushing experiments, causing additional suffering and deaths of pigs, sheep and monkeys. Musk's company ... trails at least one direct rival in the race for FDA approval. Synchron, a competitor making a BCI implant, has won the agency's blessing for human trials. The company first tested its device on four patients in Australia who successfully sent text messages with their minds. Synchron recently raised $75 million, including from funds backed by tech billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.

The following article appeared on the news desk of The Cradle on 9 March 2023. Th ongoing occupation of roughly a third of Syria continues the unjust and illegal occupation of another country by that which sponsored ISIS and other terror groups, and in the name of combatting them. The occupation is really about geopolitical control and access to resources by a nation trying to build its empire. Congress voted against a bill that would put an end to the occupation.

A War Powers Resolution that would have ended the US armys illegal occupation of Syria was struck down late on 8 March by the House of Representatives in a 103-321 vote.

The bill, introduced late last month by Republican Matt Gaetz, garnered the support of 47 Republicans and 56 Democrats including several members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC).

US House votes against occupation troops pull out from Syria

Video from Al Mayadeen English

There is no role for the United States of America in Syria. We are not a Middle Eastern power. We have tried to build a democracy out of sand, blood, and Arab militias. Time and again, the work we do does not reduce chaos. Oftentimes, it causes chaos the very chaos that then subsequently leads to terrorism. While todays vote may have failed, my fight to end forever wars and bring our troops home has only just begun, Gaetz said in a statement following the vote.

We have to also acknowledge Syria and Iraq are the two countries on the planet Earth where we have done the most to fund ISIS. We give weapons to these so-called moderate rebels, Gaetz continued, referring to Washingtons policy to arm rebel groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

Die Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie der EU

Erstmals verabschiedet hat die EU eine Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie (European Maritime Security Strategy, EUMSS) im Jahr 2014. Zur Begrndung hie es damals, der grere Teil nicht nur des Auen-, sondern auch des Binnenhandels der Union werde auf dem Seeweg abgewickelt. Insbesondere hnge die Energiesicherheit der EU in hohem Ma vom Import von Energietrgern ber die Weltmeere ab.[1] Nicht zuletzt verliefen ber 70 Prozent der EU-Auengrenzen im Meer. Die Sicherheit der maritimen Gewsser bzw. die Sicherung der Seewege seien deshalb fr die EU von grter Bedeutung. Bereits damals hie es, dies gelte grundstzlich global insbesondere fr das Netzwerk der Schifffahrtsrouten zwischen Kontinenten, aber auch fr verschiedene Seegebiete mit spezieller strategischer Bedeutung. Besonders habe die EU die Nord- und die Ostsee, das Mittel- und das Schwarze Meer, die arktischen Gewsser und den Atlantischen Ozean sowie die Outermost Regions (OMR, Gebiete in uerster Randlage) im Blick. Letzteres bezieht sich auf die Gewsser rings um oder vor Territorien etwa in der Karibik oder im Indischen bzw. im Pazifischen Ozean, die von EU-Staaten kontrolliert werden Lnder und Inseln, die die Kolonialmchte einst erobert hatten und die sie bis heute in ihrem Besitz halten.

Im Golf von Guinea

Die neue Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie, die die EU-Kommission und der Auenbeauftragte Josep Borrell am Freitag vorgelegt haben, knpft im Kern an die Version aus dem Jahr 2014 an. So heit es, auch weiterhin msse man zum Beispiel gegen Piraterie, Menschenhandel, Schmuggel von Waffen und Drogen, illegalen Fischfang oder Terrorismus vorgehen; die EU tue dies beispielsweise im Rahmen ihrer Operation Atalanta, mit der sie seit 2008 am Horn von Afrika Piraten bekmpft, oder im Rahmen ihrer Operation Irini, mit der sie seit 2020 das Waffenembargo gegen Libyen durchzusetzen sucht. Auerdem sollen Manahmen wie diejenigen weitergefhrt werden, mit denen die EU im Golf von Guinea ttig ist. Die Region ist seit vielen Jahren von Piraterie betroffen, was die Union insofern trifft, als dort zahllose europische Handelsschiffe kreuzen. Die EU untersttzt jetzt Anrainerstaaten bzw. regionale Organisationen etwa bei der Verbesserung der Hafensicherheit oder auch bei Entwicklung sowie Umsetzung maritimer Sicherheitsstrategien.[2] In der Vergangenheit hat die Deutsche Marine auch schon an Gromanvern im Golf von Guinea teilgenommen, deren Ziel darin bestand, den gemeinsamen Kampf gegen Piraten zu proben.[3]

Strategischer Wettbewerb

Allerdings geht die neue Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie ber die Einsatz- und Operationswelt ihrer Vorgngerin deutlich hinaus. Zum einen zielt sie auf den verstrkten Schutz der eigenen maritimen Infrastruktur ab etwa auf den Schutz von Hfen und Ksteninfrastruktur, von Schiffen, aber auch von Pipelines und Unterseekabeln, und zwar unter explizitem Bezug auf den Ansch...

My daughter might appreciate this. Shes writing up papers, getting ready for her Ph.D. thesis defense, and trying to raise a four year old, and all I have to contribute isit could be worse.

I dont think she has any mad Australian guardians living next door, unfortunately.

Also, where is Ray Comfort getting the money?

Thats a box full of crap you can get for free from LivingWaters/london. Just fill out the form at that link, giving Ray Comfort your address, and he will ship up to ten boxes of his book and Bible tracts about the coronation.

You could have a thousand copies of Rays book and six thousand cheesy tracts delivered to your doorstep, totally free. Unless youre in the UK, EU, Australia, or New Zealand, in which case you dont get the books, just 10,000 cheesy tracts. Or if youre outside those countries, you get nothing, and will have to pick up your free tracts in person in London.

From this I have determined that Canada is truly blessed.

I thought about ordering a box, just to bleed a few drops from the bloated vampiric corpse of Ray Comforts unaccountably rich organization, but decided not to. My reasons: a) its not enough to exsanguinate the parasite, b) it would just encourage him, c) its incredibly wasteful and would just have to be recycled, and d) I dont want to read his stupid book (Ive read enough Comfort to know it will be awful), I dont want his tracts, and I dont need a box of waste paper in my house. The man is giving away free garbage, and that does not appeal.

I still have to wonder, though: does ol Ray have some multi-millionaire sugar daddy? Or does he get so much in donations from a horde of deluded Christians that he can afford these ridiculous give-aways? Does he pay taxes on all of his revenues that he then spends on evangelical nonsense?

By the way, Ray Comfort is very, very excited about the coronationbut hes not going to bother to go himself. He wants his minions to do the humiliating work of distributing his crap to all the people who dont want it in London.

QUESTION: If the metals are not trading at a fair value relative to everything else, then does that not prove they are manipulated?

SN

ANSWER: Your problem is the assumption that everything must be trading at some fair value. That is up there with the theory of random walks.  ALL markets trade for periods where they remain well below fair value. That was the entire takeover boom of the 1980s which they also blamed on me because I was advising many of the takeover players. I simply showed these charts back then which show in terms of book value, the Dow Jones bottomed in 1977. The market was grossly undervalued because you could buy a company, sell all its tangible assets, and double or triple your money. Michael Douglas famous speech in that movie about greed would not even be possible if everything always trade like some mythical robot at fair value. Everything overshoots and undershoots.

COMMENT: Marty; Two former Merrill Lynch traders were each sentenced to a year and a day in prison Thursday for manipulating the precious metals markets, the US Department of Justice announced. Of course, - , which is forever bullish metals, claims they moved the metals in the direction they wanted from 2008 to 2014. It just seems that people claim it is always manipulation when they have been wrong. They only look at gold in dollars as you have said its a global market. They would have to manipulate all the currencies as well.

This latest affair of so-called manipulating trades during the day proves what you have been saying. They have always been gunning for stops during the day, but they cannot manipulate the trend between a bull or bear market. Do you think people will ever understand this is a global economy?

HD

ANSWER: I know. Unless people have actually been a trader, they will never understand the market. They will blame people like this to pretend they were not wrong. The problem is that this nonsense of manipulation is driving a stake through the heart of the market. Trading is like a poker game. Do you reveal your hand before everyone starts to bet? Sometimes you bluff, but the point is if you are bluffing, you have to stand behind your bet.

The mere fact that someone is blaming this type...

In January 2022, House Oversight Committee Republicans released a batch of emails sent to and from the National Institutes of Health (NIH),^1,2,3 showing that scientists in the earliest days of the pandemic strongly suspected SARS-CoV-2 was a genetically engineered virus.

The correspondence also revealed that NIH leaders Dr. Anthony Fauci and then-NIH chief Dr. Francis Collins were nervous about the possibility that they'd funded the creation of this virus and were determined to suppress questions about its origin.

Fauci, Collins and at least 11 scientists convened for a conference call February 1, 2020, during which they discussed the evidence for genetic manipulation. Yet, no more than three days later, by February 4, four of the participants had already drafted a paper titled "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," in which they dismissed the possibility of a lab origin for the virus.

One of the authors of this paper, Kristian Andersen, Ph.D., a professor at Scripps Research, has so far insisted that Fauci did not attempt to influence the working group's conclusions.

In a letter to Sens. James Comer and Jim Jordan, Scripps Research answering questions on Andersen's behalf claimed that Andersen "objectively weighted all the evidence available to him." In a March 5, 2023, memorandum,^4,5 the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic laid out evidence showing that this assertion is "demonstrably false."

Fauci and Collins Prompted Creation of 'Proximal Origin'

According to the Select Subcommittee, the evidence available clearly shows that Fauci did indeed prompt Andersen to write "Proximal Origin," and for a specific reason, namely to "disprove" the lab leak theory. "The authors of this paper skewed available evidence to achieve that goal," the Subcommittee writes.

As noted in the memorandum,⁶ in a February 8, 2020, email, Andersen stated: "Our main work over the last couple of weeks has been focused on trying to disprove any type of lab theory " Furthermore, in a February 12 email to the journal Nature, Andersen openly and clearly admitted Fauci's and Collins' influence:⁷

Above, Clayton Morrisons video on World War.

At the end of this short video, Clayton mentions a company searching for gas in Europe to replace Russian gas. And guess who is part of this company? General Wesley Clarke. Amazing how the revolving door works.

In this article on Gumshoe:

Retired General Wesley Clark spent 34 years in the Army, became Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO from 1997 to 2000, received many military decorations, several honorary knighthoods, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

He told us in 2007 that the US were planning to destroy the Middle East 7 countries in 5 years. A great tip which he got much praise for in alternative circles. But WHY did he just sit on that intel for six years while the US et al destroyed several of those countries?

Below, an interesting worldview from Clayton and Tucker Carlson (one of the only anti-war mainstream voices) on the role of journalism, political division, and beneficiaries of a rotten system. Tucker talks about the liberation of not lying.

As the Robodebt inquiry rolls on, it not only causes embarrassment to for those politicians who were responsible and the bureaucrats who implemented it, this and other related inquiries are bringing other injustices to light.

The most important of these came by way of ombudsmans office submission into the Senate inquiry into the ParentsNext scheme for single parents, which takes aim against the mutual obligations system. Mutual obligation came into existence years ago. The original purpose was to target the unemployed. It was justified under the claim that recipients of Centrelink payments are somehow doing something wrong.

The system depends on a contractual agreement and imposing penalties for deemed breeches. The effect has been to propagate the accusation that the receiver of a Centrelink benefit is a malingerer trying to live it easy.

Anyone who has experienced not having a proper job and trying to make ends meet will tell you that this is far from being a ticket to an easy life. It is tough living in poverty. To be treated as a third-rate citizen, humiliated, and being forced pass through ongoing and meaningless loops makes it all that much worse.

Cartoon by Megan Herbert

Being under the presumption that you are doing something wrong invites mistreatment. You are always presumed guilty of wrongdoing. Under the system, most will sooner or later have their payment suspended because of often unproven accusations or for not complying. For instance, if you do not turn up for an appointment if you are sick. The same thing will if you happen to be working on that day or attending a job interview. it does not matter whether you inform them of the fact or not.

The mutual obligation system is engineered to be a system of punishment for having the affront to register for Centrelink. The purpose has been to discourage registration, and this has the effect of lowering the numbers and making the government of the day look better.

Making involvement with Centrelink into hell on Earth creates desperate people, who will take on underpaid and substandard working conditions. This suits those who want a cheap labour force to pull down wages and working...

It shouldnt require the ADL for a Guardian journalist to understand that the accusation of Israel harvest[ing] the organs ofmartyred Palestinians and feeding those organs to their own soldiers is a monstrous, medieval antisemitic blood libel variations of which incited the murder of Jews going back to the Middle Ages.  Though the libel began in Norwich in 1144 with the accusation that Jews murder non-Jews and then use the victims blood for Jewish rituals, the blood libel lives on in the sham charges accusing Jews/Zionists of harvesting the organs of their hapless Palestinian victims.

Writing festivals are often tired, stilted affairs, but the 38th Adelaide Writers Week did not promise to be that run-of-the-mill gathering of yawn-inducing, life draining sessions. For one thing, social media vultures and public relations experts, awaiting the next freely explosive remark or unguarded comment, were at hand to stir the pot and exhort cancel culture.

The fuss began with the festival organisers invitation of two Palestinian authors, Susan Abulhawa and Mohammed El-Kurd. Abulhawa was specifically targeted for critical comments on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, notably regarding NATO membership, and for being a mouthpiece of Russian propaganda, while El-Kurd has been singled out for social-media commentary on the Israeli state, calling it sadistic, demonic and a death cult.

Righteously, the South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas showed his less than worldly view on such festivals by insisting on boycotting their talks and presentations. Ever the vote-getting politician, there were those constituents at the Association of Ukrainians in South Australia who had been making noise, notably through their president, Frank Fursenko. We are very concerned that [the festival organisers] are giving a platform to people who are known apologists for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, insisted Fursenko.

Malinauskas even contemplated pulling government funding from the event, something he declared at his address opening Writers Week. (This was also the view of the South Australian opposition leader, David Speirs.) The premier, it should be noted, is less morally troubled when it comes to funding the LIV Golf tournament, backed by the obscurantist journalist-assassinating regime of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

At the very least, he made some concession to maturity: refusing to listen to someones viewpoint also involved surrendering the opportunity to challenge it, much less change their mind. But for all that Abulhawas presence at the Writers Week had to be actively questioned.

The Advertiser was less reserved, barking in childish condemnation and demanding, via a statement from editor Gemma Jone...

The U.S. Navy envisions a submarine hub in Australia from which the service can oversee the entire range of undersea activities in the Asia-Pacific region, from boat production to repairs to missions, service Secretary Carlos del Toro said last month. His comments, made ahead of a major announcement about the U.S.-U.K.-Australian submarine partnership dubbed AUKUS, reveal how Washington views its future relationship with Australia as a key foothold in closer proximity to rival China. Bloomberg reported earlier this week President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese are expected to address the way ahead in the pact on March 13 in San Diego, California. With most of the plans for a fleet of nuclear-powered boats for Canberra still up in the air, the U.S. sea service has its eyes on the near-term benefit of being able to base and repair U.S. Virginia-class attack submarines in Australian ports.
