hi do you or anyone have access to the full article by any chance?

Running wild: How Sam Kerr’s brutal schedule is making Australia’s most famous footballer even better

The thick blanket of Townsville humidity had sapped energy reserves, with the Matildas running on fumes and amounting to little more than that.

They had battered New Zealand for 95 minutes but only had a 1-1 scoreline to show for it.

The clock ticks into the 96th minute, the last grains of sand in the hour and a half glass about to fall. One last chance. The Matildas have a corner.

Ball floats through the heavy, wet air, and surely Sam Kerr, the greatest goalscorer in team history, will attack it like a hungry croc flies at a dangled chicken.

But Kerr does the unexpected and hangs back as the ball lands in a gaggle of bodies near the goal line. Of course, then, the ball spurts out in one direction. Right toward Kerr. Instinct told her to stop. Now it’s telling her to go.

Kerr, after running herself ragged all night, switches into ‘Sam Kerr’ mode.

Sam Kerr flings herself forward. A Kiwi boot threatens to boot the ball clear. Sam Kerr’s head gets in first. Sam Kerr scores.

Of course she did.

She’s Sam Kerr, in the midst of greatness.

Watching Kerr play live at the ground, when the whole pitch is visible, is a tiring experience in itself.

It could be argued she plays iceberg football. What we see of her on or near the ball is only a little part of what actually exists.

Off the ball Kerr runs, and runs, and runs. Defensively, to close down those on the ball, often when it is two against one. Offensively, she will make run after run in behind the defensive line or toward the ball.

It all adds up to an incredible output for both club – Chelsea – and country.

Since September 2020, there has been no break. A season with Chelsea. Olympics. More Chelsea. Matildas friendlies. Asian Cup. More Chelsea. Nearly 100 games in less than two years. Phew. How much can she give?

“The more I keep going, the better I feel,” is Kerr’s mildly surprising answer.

“We’ve been playing three games a week for six months… now doing it with travelling back to Australia, one session before a 90-minute game. I’m used to it now! Once you’re in the rhythm of it, you just do it.”

Kerr’s 2020 move right in the middle of Covid-19’s early throws made for a tricky start, but since settling in with Chelsea she’s turned into an even more potent force.

“Football wise the move (to Chelsea) has elevated my game,” Kerr says, “and it’s gained me a lot more respect around the world.

“When I came to Chelsea, there was no denying I was good on the counter-attack.

“I think just in the small spaces, my holdup play and my ability to bring other people into the game has improved.”

Opponents agree.

Steph Catley, Kerr’s Matildas teammate, plays for Arsenal, who happen to be Chelsea’s main title rivals. Catley confirms, marking the more-rounded version of Kerr is not an enjoyable experience.

“It’s extremely difficult because she’s so active all the time,” Catley says.

“Sam only needs half a step on you and then she’s gone and there’s no catching her.

“Then she comes searching for the ball deeper in the field, she’s still dangerous because she brings other people into the game and then is sprinting back into the box to finish. She’s smart, agile and hungry to score all the time.”

Just last weekend, so it proved again. Chelsea went down to 10 players against Tottenham, and at 1-1, you’ll never guess who popped up with a booming header. Kerr, of course.

“I step away from the women’s game, I won’t watch teams within our league unless we’re about to play them, but I mainly watch the men. I just love football.”

Kerr keeps an eye on Australia, with BT Sport beaming the A-League into her lounge room, while spare evenings are spent watching her favourite players do what they do best.

“Most players that I love are players you can’t replicate. Cristiano Ronaldo, obviously, he’s just been a goalscorer forever. Mo Salah, I love watching him do things most of us can only dream of.

“They make it look so easy but we know when you try it, it’s not.”

Sam Kerr is Australia’s most famous footballer.

She follows Johnny Warren, who backed up a brilliant career by tirelessly promoting football in a country that was hard of hearing about the world game.

Harry Kewell and Tim Cahill made their name by ripping up the rule book for Australians abroad.

But look on a billboard, in a bookstore, in a sports store these days, and it’s Kerr’s name and/or face you see.

Her numbers back up the exalted status.

For the Matildas, it’s 59 goals in 110 appearances. At 28 years of age, there is plenty more to come, because of what she has become at club level.

Since joining Chelsea she has become a leading figure in European club football, scoring 52 goals in 68 games, a phenomenal return.

Her elevation has come from being in the right place, at the right time in more ways than one.

As footy codes and cricket woke up to the fact investment in professional women’s sport is a worthwhile proposition, the Matildas’ current generation matched it consistently with the world’s best.

Kerr was scoring the big goals in the big games and celebrating by flipping her way into the hearts of those watching.

And yet it was so different for her debut way back in 2009.

Less than 3000 people were on hand to see 15-year-old Kerr, talent too irresistible to ignore, trot onto the field with 15 minutes left in 5-1 Matildas loss to Italy in Canberra.

“Don’t remember much of that day other than we got pumped,” Kerr tells Code Sports.

“Had no family there, don’t remember anything. It’s the one thing I wish I could replay.”

Go forth, then, to a night like Townsville, and every moment is now cherished.

At all Matildas home games, full-time is really just halftime as Kerr and her teammates make a point of revelling in what this team has become – saying hello to every man, woman and child that wants to say hello back.

“It’s honestly so rewarding,” Kerr says.

“You don’t realise what impact you have on people until you give them a high five, a hug or signature. Something so small can go such a long way.”

Kids cry. Parents admire the time they give their kids. It’s a special, unique atmosphere.

“I don’t play football for sponsorships and my face in the paper, or for someone to write something good about me, I play football for fans who have your jersey on and love coming to watch us play.

“The coolest thing about it is you get to make a little girl or boy’s night. We used to play in front of no one. It’s something we’re really proud of, (to have) built such an amazing fan base. I think we have more connection with supporters than men’s football, and that’s just the culture of women’s sport.

“There’s only more to grow. The World Cup is exciting, but hopefully in the next ten years we will make the same if not more progress.”

Where the Sam Kerr name ends up in relation to other Australian sporting legends remains a guess, but the form of the last five years suggests a place among the greats.

In the very short term, she has two more trophies to win in the next month.

Chelsea lead the English league by a point from Arsenal with three games to go. In mid-May there’s an FA Cup Final against Manchester City at Wembley.

Then a break. Home, to Perth, for the first time in three years, where she’ll try to slip into a normal existence for a short while. Catch up with family. Maybe catch some footy.

Nothing gave Kerr a bigger thrill in her childhood than saying hello to players over the fence at a West Coast Eagles game.

She was one of those faces in the crowd, that now, with a Matildas jersey, look back at her with boundless joy.

How life changes when you don’t stand still, and put yourself in the right place, at the right time.

His people suck pretty bad and they're terrible at the job and the max are actually telling them and we think they suck too they hardly do anything and both teams more luck and Tommy f and they sit here and sweltering heat just cooking and get sick demand to be better and we don't do anything have to go in the hospital and they're going to do since I'm sick of these people I don't want to live like this and I started putting my foot down last month and it's getting somewhere it was while they just sit there and fart and yak and blab say that the greatest spinning around doing pirouettes I've had it with these people this mumbling and mumbling it's really rude. There's a major offensive on them it's on the clones too and they're just sitting there making people angry with these big threat in your neighborhood you can't beat us up and they're beating up a guy Trump that looks like a Mac and I'll tell you what it's really disgusting so we're going to lunch and defensive too and the max are and they are empty bunkers and going up there and we are crushing them they most likely won't return there anyways no but we don't want them in their territory there's a fighting going on in the bunkers on the East Coast and elsewhere and it's not really that fierce but it could be so we have to be there that's a lot going on and there's a lot of things happening tonight and it's only Tuesday

-tons of factories are coming back online we have ownership of a lot of them and what about 80% of the fact is coming online today and tomorrow and throughout the week our hours and we're going to work towards the other ones too but we need to man up and it is a force majeure for real it's been going on and we have been doing it the whole time being up and around 85% of free covid is okay I really were around 150% of what we were so I have to get up there at that level of percent to really make a difference we're appreciate new factories are about 40% but we only count half cuz there was a that type so it's 105% we need 45% and we're rolling on it too. The Midwest has factories we can't use them there and we take the equipment that we make stuff for sale out here and or move the factories John remillard is aware of that

-the plants coming along now are mostly above and beyond basic necessities I don't pass that Mark about 15% ago of the original plants coming back online and the 40% of ours includes a good chunk of it about 15% or so is essentials the rest 25% is different stuff that's above and beyond it but some people call it essentials our son and daughter find appliances to be essential in the state agent they really are and what's playing power to them and we know it

-we're going through people's stuff here pulling you out and looking at your stuff you too next door need a solid lesson. I was coming up pretty soon the form of several movies and one of them is character as machete he gets paid back starting Friday by Jason and all of his people get paid back and about 15% die and Trump gets back at him and hits them when is that a party and saw his people

-there's civil wars going on and it's not a happy time they are big wars and they will make a big difference and they are happening right now

-and the first one is the war on the clones and everybody is in on that down there there are several bases left globally but not that many and people ganging up on them to get it done cuz it's over they're going to fight their own areas and go after the ships to keep them from coming out and coming up and taking stuff and hurting people and I heard them say it too going to plug up all those holes and keep them in there.

-the second war and yes an order of magnitude is against the Mac proper people and bases and bunkers these bases are huge and their laser bases and some of them are using giant diamonds found thousands of miles below that says that people say nobody accessed and yet they're accessing them and John remillard I knew about it and sitting there threatening our son it says he told me and he knows I do that and I can't stand anymore and he said tell him to stop telling me said we need the territory how far now barf like a dog so the a****** started blabbing he starts saying it's true and he said yeah that's what he told you cuz you're a little baby and you're mean to him and you're taking you down so he starts screaming what good is it to be here said for you it's not good his parents did fine they got a lot of help and he had to leave the house even bja was fine but not you and you were the ones causing trouble for him you're a huge prick and you won't leave it alone we need you gone we're going to make you gone so he starts yelling and screaming and we start hitting him and he of course got nowhere and that leads us to another battle and war but this one is huge by the way their armies that are almost halfway better sent out everyday and all over the world and we don't negotiate with them and we don't negotiate with you more luck

-it is the war against morlock it's separate than the clones there are separate race and their forces comprised of different stuff everybody's after them no but they're having a huge battles and they're losing and people are seeking them out because they are thieves and took tons of stuff and it's going on now a huge forces are seeking out all of them they are targeting tonight basis of the mohawk and it's both kinds really or whatever you want to call it it's the three and the rest of them and it is a massive fire massive fight the trumpsters are getting their asses handed to them and they're fighting practically everybody a lot of the time and they're losing they get beat up all the time and they're fighting bja and they're fighting his kids and they're fighting miscellaneous and they're fighting each other and they're fighting their kids and the clones are fighting them I mean it's just huge messes and we could walk a whole army in and out and nobody would notice so we're going to start taking them apart for real and there is a fourth war it has developed

-it's against our citadel and it's pretty big it's led by morlock but we think the max are behind it and others because they want to see what it is and so on and they readily accepted they say and it's because they're jackasses and we are at war with them shortly for it and they're going to pay because they are planning to attack with good sized forces. We have laid out the ground rules and it says if you attack us we will attack you and we will wipe you out it's going on now and they are still proceeding some of the citadel are those of Mac and the Max and we would say probably 60% and it is a real number and usually they trying to attack and don't get anywhere and try focusing on the max and it's going to court occur shortly that these people will try and attack. It is a large Force approximately 1.5 trillion each base and a plan to attack five medium bases in the Western hemisphere. On a side note in Los Angeles the Paul Bunyan statue that's in pennywise movie showed up and it's originally from LA and they move it out there to the Midwest seeing they're going to chop trees down and stuff like that hennessy's retards that are doing it and people do not appreciate it and they go after them. This forces are not that big and they are anticipating a fight meaning they think they'll get somewhere but they won't and they do have backups about three times as many each base it's in a particular area and we know that they usually and don't do well out there no but they're seeking something that's there and it's the max and same kind of thing diamonds and rubies gems and we are going to wipe out anyone who tries. You say it's a large scale war because of the numbers 3 trillion each is 15 trillion and that's as much as a whole area almost and yeah car sales are in the millions and billions and eventually trillions the mini has actually sold only about seven trillion total including the menu said exists like Kia if you take those out it's about 4 trillion so it was a huge ad and it the other started producing or they would not survive.

-there's another war breaking out but we will defend ourselves expertly. And it is here in Florida between the morlock and the three and it is pretty big they are going at it out there at the 21st ring they're the ones that halted the stuff from putting being put in there and they're firing at them with heavy from the East Coast and ships are going to try and move in these McDonald's and Stan people bidien have attracted huge armies of morlock. And they're going at it and it's really more like versus warlock there's nobody in there that's normal and it's a fast war for the most part and it's eating away at both sides and the empire and others are striking them in their areas of operation bases and even City areas and townships and it's going on all day and night they're a huge strikes going on massive numbers.

-on top of these more or less wars because they're big and the above is in many areas the warlock versus the three there are silent wars happening all day long all over the world they're fighting over things diamonds and gold money housing and our people are trapped in that it's happening because these armies are fighting and our son and daughter detected it years ago for being pushed around and these guys don't care and they Don't Care about Us what do they care about our people and we started we started moving and heavily we have huge numbers of troops now it's an incredible Force are we needed this I know this is what we are watching out for and we were afraid of it's going on now and we need more troops and we need our people to sign on and I'm putting alerts out and everything it's horrific and the conditions are not good either and we need to do it fast these people are losing it here they pretty much don't have lives anymore their race and their bases and the people will be gone soon and we need to be ready to come in here numbers and I don't see it happening and we need to and our son and daughter say and it is his son and daughter-in-law and hers say and her parents that we need to get going on the projects in Florida and we see how can we do that without going on I said these guys are doing it and but they're at war so we can't move in because of the ships and then being at war so our son and daughter say we move in because of the ships and the war so I took that it's that perspective today so we can't get in there because of this war and we usually run to it and why we doing this and nuana Ariana stood up and stated for caught in combat running around hitting people they'll dissect our characters and we said so what we have stuff for that and we're already doing it so I don't know what the holdup is and we decided to come in here today since a mess he was screaming and yelling for us to come in and we came in later and we finally said it's we've been saying it over and over and it's finally going to happen it has to happen because of our schedule and that's partially his work and hers mostly at work we cannot let these weapons fall into the wrong hands and already there they're at the diamonds so we're moving out and was huge forces by the way these forces are very big the attack on the citadels will most likely be small but we have territory to claim and buildings to build at the Midwest is emptying the Coon is now 100 mi at the top still about 60 miles and it struck by 10 miles which is not much but he said it's all industrial so it's pretty big but we are going to shrink it by another 10 mi hopefully tonight and that's significant they'll start to see it a lot more maybe and we might drink it the other way too the rivers are 50 miles apart and we might try and get to the banks of the rivers and the upper Midwest and the western side Illinois is lit up and it is because of Lily and the trial and to try to get her back there and it fighting over it Trump and BGA and they're trying to get her in there big time and they say it and they're horrified by what they're saying no they don't really care they say and they're trying to get them there because they're competing over something and they're having homos they really happy homos they really are. It's going on now and soon it will be time for people to shut their mouths and with all this happening and the more like shrinking and the clones shrinking and the max shrinking eventually they're going to get the message this is not your world and people are hitting you they're hitting each other so much so they don't care very much of obtuse losers

-the launch it is going to take place sometime very soon it is Tuesday night they're only a few more nights they really have to launch they really do they are in a lot of trouble if they don't they're really screwing around all the time wasting time and I didn't have time to waste I'm so we are sitting tight and we're going to see what happens but we anticipate the launch to be Thursday night or Friday night if he goes to the mall the more luck usually make a huge strike and that is why John remillard left. He seems happy but he wasn't cuz our son was saying if I go there more of you will leave and they need it but they don't want him to say that but that's what it is obvious reasons. What's going on now that they are starting to plan a large strike for lunch today and whatever launch day is and they can tell by the prep of the engines right now there's two of them revving up and if they all rev up they know that it's coming up and about when and they're getting ready so that's happening too that will be a huge war in the near future within a week or less it really won't go past 4 days we think

-two more things that are a major concern we have a huge amount of people here who are just really nasty to our son everyday with a dumb cars and getting in the way all the time they just won't stop doing it and they don't take no for an answer they don't take discipline in prison and threats of death and a lot of it is due to the ship above and the rings both of which are going to come to an end the rings will end shortly we hear that Stan is falling he does not have much of a fleet it's 20 million and his large ships are down he only has about 35% still but he is not going to have any bases by Friday. He had about 10 bases that were larger 10x30 and 5 bases that are medium 20x5 and small bases everywhere about 300 at 10x10 right now he's got five and the 50% operational about 3 that are 25% operational and 100 that are 50% operational and people are going after them it's a multitude of people and it's because he has the apartment and he is in a lot of trouble and a sudden I can't do anything our son is limited I'll buy a lot of people same people so he doesn't know what's going to happen doesn't want the county to get it cuz they're a bunch of hospital fanatics. Besides his military basis he has areas of operation and he has four left that are large at 10 by 30 with bunkers below two of them are on fire and will be blown tonight the other two might go there are eight medium forearm fire might be blown tonight for on fire that is and they might be blown tonight and four are 50% operation, 200 small they're 10x10 half of them are pretty much decimated and the other half five are at about 30% operation they have small bunkers and they're going after all them he is in the city areas as well but he's getting attacked as he was attacking people his guys were saying we have most of your stuff give up the rest no, they were saying we need this desperately and they did need stuff but they had a bunch so they thought they're weak and they went in and found it and they're attacking fiercely his forces might be destroyed mostly tonight into tomorrow a lot of people think that it might accelerate because he was taking a lot of antiquities and a lot of weaponry and a lot of ghwb honey and George and JC Mary high tech stuff

-Biden is drinking his forces are smaller it's a similar story he has half the bases but they are doing better he's not attracting so much attention even though he's president. And without going through the numbers he's at about half of what he was yesterday doesn't have that many bases he's got 10 large half her out the other half for 20% it's pretty bad he's got like seven medium and half her out and the rest of 30% and it is bad and some of them aren't fire and he's got about 300 small half are out 150 of them are 20%, they all suck. He's got areas of operation that's about the same number as stand with their half is large and he's lost half of them already as listed and only has about 20 left staying at about 50 and it's down to 30 each of them are about 20% of what they were in those areas of operation and in the cities they're both about 30% and going to be a lot worse the small areas it's like the North end and Southeast combined it's only a couple miles by a mile and that's in each up to the outskirts they have several more but that's about it and in suburbs they only have a few neighborhoods now it's not going to be long but Stan Biden Mac Daddy they don't really run those things they said it too they had horrifying plans and they fell through but they were looked at as people that they're terrorizing and torturing.

-and yes Mac Daddy and from Texas they don't really run it but it's kind of easy to say they it's really the McDonald's and Mac was never a McDonald's he's a donald. They are getting attacked the biggest Force they still have about 17 large and those are 30x40 with huge bikers by the way 60x70x40 and lots of them have two. And all those 17 they have 10 left. Those 10 are at 20% to 40%, and yeah that's lousy all these bases are in both hemispheres this hemisphere is bigger and stronger the other hemisphere has only maybe 10 to 20% left of each group. About 50 20x30 each has three bunkers that are about 60x30x30 and out of those 50 25 are fully defunct. And other remaining 25s are mostly 20 to 40% functional. And they have like 800 small and they're all 10 by 10 about 600 are totally defunct s*** and out of the 200 mating 100 are 20% and half of those are fire and the other 100 are at about 50 to 60% capacity meaning the rest of the place is destroyed. There are areas of operation of there is under attack and once again this is the three this is the use of the McDonald's and they're being attacked they're being attacked by mostly clones not the empire. And actually the morlock are attacking as well. Yeah the seeking stuff and ships as are the clones and their areas of operation are falling they don't have much left there the bases operationally are 20% capacity overall their areas of operation overall capacity is 30%. They're needed City area for the most part occupy about find my 10 mi in the conical area out to the outskirts and that's pretty thick they're wealthy people. They're about 500 of those all of them are 50% capacity after tonight we anticipate will be a 25%, and it's still a power amount of time if they get it with the money it could be a lot faster than that and they hold about 50% of the cash that our son used and they hold 70% of the bank accounts and they're trying to blame Mac for not getting anything to him and they're just solid losers and you can ask Garth his choked out and it was not like two it's bob Brian and he's one of them and God did figure it out. These areas will be under strict attack we anticipate yes they'll be down to roughly 25% tomorrow but it could be a lot worse or it could be up to that then plenty they will plummet and they're in stock areas and everything and then stocks is Vons securities it's private investment there's a whole slew of things the money are tied into assets and trading and international business it's ridiculous how much money there is and they won't do a damn thing here for our son-in-law and everybody else now and they still won't do anything so for people to handle money and it's supposed to be savvy they really don't know much so we're going to try and check it out no he did and they don't. Sooner or later I'm going to sue them and buy toll and got to swipe say sooner and it's coming up to that point where they have almost zilch along with these wars there are several others that are crazy that are not as large

Well we'll get to them in a moment but we'd like to take tons of this territory and we need a lot of troops and right away and we need ours to sign on immediately because you can take office jobs and desk jobs corporate jobs factory stuff and free up people who are trained

Thor Freya

This is a major program and we must get it going more we need troops now and what he says is to move those factories into our area and we have several uses they cordoned off if we move in a fire on them so that's not good. We have a huge amount of area and we can just build huge buildings and it'll take it like a day and we started doing that we have several up and we're going to move equipment now and we're going to do some more time traveling get it done huge amounts of equipment coming out today and tonight that is and all over the world massive factories they are huge and we put the Rolls-Royce factories in certain place but he wants people to do that it has a certain effect and we know about it and we need it to keep the peace it makes people happier and the roadster who is a cruiser is fine it is a massive sound symbol because it's a massive status symbol if you have hours so it's still huge and people seek it but we want to make sure that we're doing the right thing is right we replace these at the earlier price which is higher than the new ones for example a ghost which looks like a long four-door sedan but it is a Rolls-Royce look very strong I was 3 million dollars in 2019 and it was it looked like it was worth it it was they ruined it and made it 1 million and we're putting the price back at 3:00 and he says demand is higher than supply and these are to these guys so 3.5 or 4 million roughly probably 3.2 or 3.4 and we agree and we haven't sold them yet and people are accounting for inflation and demand and said this if they were selling these they were left over 2 years ago for like 4 million and we heard sales of some newer ones they were in showrooms they found for about 5 million so we're starting to get the price range that's what he wants to hear and he knows about it and cruiser is probably not priced Right that's way too low and we should raise it someone said 1.2 and we looked around and there's no real example except by comparison it was a Bentley years ago that about 10 that was smaller and proportionally it's three to one. Zigzag says it's different and our son and daughter agree and we do it's like 1.7 or 1.8 we're going to do that and we're putting money away in the fund and what he wants to do or we use that fun fun and say we're not using the fund so he wants to do it in each factory I have a fund, we'll test it in Rolls-Royce it'll be permissions to help him get stuff and he wants to put a note on there why it helps ours. He wants me to speak to a Rolls-Royce factory of ours and I've done that before but he says not like the main one and stuff and about this topic and to see what they say and what they think I'm going to do that and we'll set it up and kind of get it ready to go and talk to them and talk to them about the program this is intense program by the way it's difficult. And he wants Freya and zigzag too and Hera factories are choosing choice and it'll be like the ones we set up but seriously there's others around 12 hours of hours that were set up and we're going to go ahead and do that I do understand this is a lot of fun this is joy for us to hear this we have other conflicts we're going to print cuz it's getting kind of huge

Thor Freya

It's a great update and it's great finale at the end I think it's a terrific idea we have fun just kind of sits there and he was saying for a particular missions to try and get him stuff and it's a fun for him and we can have another one for our people and it's a portion of the sales and boy we're going to make a lot of money

Zig Zag

We should sell what the market can bear and really too cheap doesn't really mean I should says it's not the real thing I was trying to build a real thing and we can't do it anymore

Hera

We're going to print now Olympus

2 more years before college, K-12 perks

Laziness was just a part of it but this year, you really need to work your butt off.

Welcome to senior high school, Charleeze! Just another year but you really have to take things seriously and that I mean, not going into class and falling asleep as soon as the teacher starts talking.

Classes initially start at either 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning. That depends on what time the teacher logs in. I would frequently sleep late, making it hard to wake up in such hours. Best examples are classes under Sir Winston and Sir Jojo. Once I’m in the class, I tend to doze off and that wasn’t a great student example as every detail needs to be taken with utmost care and understanding.

The situation didn’t change as everything was just an upgraded and harder version of last year. Seems like they really want to establish a student who will become the best version of themselves and I enjoy that kind of treatment.

They focus on the students’ well-being.

This was also the period wherein I had a lot of new subjects and subject teachers that shocked me.

Before stepping into this grade, I would always want Teacher Annie Pasion to become a teacher of mine. I got that dream and I admired her way of teaching but the online setting isn’t really for me.

Why?

I didn’t pay attention as soft copies would always be shared. I also didn’t focus on what they were saying. It was hard to practice that especially if you already had the routine of going into class then falling asleep.

Not the best version of me. I do agree on that. A lot of mistakes were made and I hated shrugging those lessons off.

But this school year had another hectic ride since I got myself an online job. I became an academic server for the start of January 2022. Most of my money was because of that. My greatest achievement was getting a chance to start my collection of Mark Lee’s photocards. All of it. From my own pocket.

Why was it that satisfying?

Everything that I had my hands on wasn’t used against me. Because it was my own money. My parents would always buy the things we want that they bought as a lever during sermons. It was really frustrating but that all changed because of my hard work. I will always treasure that thought since I can freely buy whatever I want without them using it to further hurt my feelings.

Real reason why I want to continue being part of the world of work. It became an inspiration and also the best experience I could ask for.

This year was also the start of understanding the works of research under Sir Jojo. Since it was still under our online setting, we didn’t have much experience unlike the usual defense practice. It still wasn’t easy since everything taught was used with modules and soft copies. We also had a lot of lapses. I found this subject impressive. It really did put JETMS�� standards to the test. Research can be flexible but the rules you have to follow and formatting was the challenging part. I kept crying while finishing it especially if my groupmates weren’t doing the work I asked them for.

A team is a team right? What would you call it if the majority of them kept on ghosting my messages?

I’m just really glad that I survived another year despite being stuck in a COVID-19 era. What’s great about this is that it doesn’t explore the world of art. I kept my grades just like before and even got higher car grades this time.

And since social distancing was a thing and alert level lockdowns toned down, we got a physical recognition alongside the graduating Grade 12 students! I saw my crush on stage! It was really a great memory as we used the last remaining days to celebrate and chill more. My friends made my day all better. The ride wasn’t that stressful and everything came according to what I wanted to happen.

I stayed happy, healthy and kept things flowing smoothly. I was the happiest with my achievements as this year really made me flourish so much.

My mom looks so adorable in this photo! She's a keeper.

This isn't academics related but I had the chance to go to Baguio City with my Mark Lee photocards! All thanks to my Tita Cherry. I even had to balance my deadlines as this was PETA week so.. I survived!

Paying tribute to the lost stars of Mexico 86...

Many of our heroes have unfortunately passed away since that glorious Mexican summer of 1986, including the tournament's greatest icon.

Here's a celebration of those no longer with us…

Italia Gaetano Scirea

Italy's Mexico 86 skipper was a World Cup winner, who was capped 78 times. The Juventus legend, who retired in 1988, sadly died in Sep 1989 in a car accident in Poland while scouting for the club. He was just 36.

Paolo Rossi

Italy's star of 1982 did not feature at all in Mexico. He moved from Milan to Verona after the World Cup and retired a year later at just 30, moving into real estate and TV punditry. Rossi died in Dec 2020 at 64.

The young Sampdoria striker appeared as a substitute in all 4 of the Azzurri’s games in Mexico. He joined Juventus for a world record £12.5m in 1991 and won his 59th and final cap in 1992. Later coached Chelsea. He died in January 2023, aged 58.

Vitor Damas

Covid-19 Injections: Millions of Deaths and Serious Adverse Effects

The data suggests that we may currently be witnessing the greatest organized mass murder in the history of our world. The severity of this situation compels us to ask this critical question: will we rise to the defense of billions of innocent people?

Or will we permit personal profit over justice, and be complicit? Networks of lawyers all over the world are preparing class-action lawsuits to prosecute all who are serving this agenda. To all who have been complicit so far, we say: There is still time to turn and choose the side of truth. Please make the right choice.

Although this report focuses on the situation in the United States, it also applies to the rest of the world, as the same type of experimental injections with similar death rates – and comparable systems of corruption to hide these numbers – are used worldwide. Therefore we encourage everyone around the world to share this report. May it be a wake-up call for all of humanity.

Vaccine deaths summary, it is far worse than we think

VAERS published 726,963 adverse events, including 15,386 deaths as of September 17, 2021

CDC fraud expert says that number of deaths is at least five times, and possibly ten times higher

A whistleblower from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) revealed how almost 50,000 people died from the injections. They represent only 20% of the U.S. population, meaning

that if this data is applied to the entire population 250,000 have died 150,000 reports have been rejected or scrubbed by the VAERS system

The actual number of anaphylaxis is 50 to 120 times higher than claimed by the CDC

Everyone who dies before two weeks after the second injection, is not considered a vaccine death, which causes the majority of early vaccine deaths to be ignored

Moderna received over 300,000 reports of adverse events in only three months-time The Lazarus Report shows that only 1% of adverse events is being reported by the public The majority of the population is not aware of the existence of systems where they can report vaccine adverse events

Aggressive censorship and propaganda told the public that adverse events are rare, causing people to not understand how their health problems stem from past injections

The shaming and blaming of medical professionals who say anything against the vaccines, cause many in the medical community to avoid reporting adverse events

The fear of being held accountable after administering an injection that killed or disabled patients, further prevents medical personnel from reporting it

Having accepted financial incentives to promote, and administer the covid vaccines, also stops medical personnel from reporting adverse events

Profit driven vaccine manufacturers have every reason not to report the destruction their untested experimental products are causing

250,000+ Facebook users comment about vaccine deaths and serious injuries

Recommended reading for leftists

Introduction and disclaimer:

I believe, in leftist praxis (especially online), the sharing of resources, including information, must be foremost. I have often been asked for reading recommendations by comrades; and while I am by no means an expert in leftist theory, I am a lifelong Marxist, and painfully overeducated. This list is far from comprehensive, and each author is worth exploring beyond the individual texts I suggest here. Further, none of these need to be read in full to derive benefit; read what selections from each interest you, and the more you read the better. Many of these texts cannot truly be called leftist either, but I believe all can equip us to confront capitalist hegemony and our place within it. And if one comrade derives the smallest value or insight herefrom, we will all be better for it. After all... La raison tonne en son cratère. Alone we are naught, together may we be all. Solidarity forever.

(I have split these into categories for ease of navigation, but there is plenty of overlap. Links included where available.)

Classics of socialist theory

~

Capital (vol.1) by Karl Marx Marx’s critique of political economy forms the single most significant and vital source for understanding capitalism, both in our present and throughout history. Do not let its breadth daunt you; in general I feel it’s better to read a little theory than none, but nowhere is this truer than with regards to Capital. Better to read 20 pages of Capital than 150 pages of most other leftist literature. This is not a book you need to ‘finish’ in order to benefit from, but rather (like all of Marx’s work) the backbone of theory which you will return to throughout your life. Read a chapter, leave it, read on, read again. https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/Capital-Volume-I.pdf

The Prison Notebooks by Antonio Gramsci In our current epoch of global neoliberal capitalism, Gramsci’s explanation of hegemony is more valuable than much of the economic or outright revolutionary analyses of many otherwise vital theory. Particularly following the coup attempt and election in America, as well as Brexit and abusive government responses to Covid, but the state violence around the world and the advent of fascism reasserts Gramsci as being as pertinent and prophetic now as amidst the first rise of fascism. https://abahlali.org/files/gramsci.pdf

Imperialism: The Highest Stage Of Capitalism by V.I. Lenin Like Marx, for many Lenin’s work is the backbone of socialist theory, particularly in pragmatic terms. In much of his writing Lenin focuses on the practical processes of revolutionary transition from capitalism to communism via socialism and proletarian leadership (sometimes divisively among leftists). Imperialism is perhaps most valuable today for addressing the need for internationalist proletarian support and solidarity in the face of global capitalist hegemony, arguably stronger today than in Lenin’s lifetime. https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/imperialism.pdf

Socialism: Utopian And Scientific by Friedrich Engels Marx’s partner offers a substantial insight into the material reality of socialism in the post-industrial age, offering further practical guidance and theory to Marx and Engels’ already robust body of work. This highlights the empirical rigour of classical Marxist theory, intended as a popular text accessible to proletarian readers, in order to condense and to some extent explain the density of Capital. Perhaps even more valuable now than at the time it was first published. https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1880/soc-utop/index.htm

In Defense Of Marxism by Leon Trotsky It has been over a decade since I have read any Trotsky, but this seems like a very good source to get to grips with both classical Marxist thought and to confront contemporary detractors. In many ways, Trotsky can be seen as an uncorrupt symbol of the Leninist dream, and in others his exile might illustrate the dangers of Leninism (Stalinism) when corrupt, so who better to defend the virtues of the system many see as his demise? https://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/idom/dm/dom.pdf

The Conquest Of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin Krapotkin forms the classical backbone of anarchist theory, and emerges from similar material conditions as Marxism. In many ways, ‘the Bread book’ forms a dual attack (on capitalism and authoritarianism of the state) and defence (of the basic rights and needs of every human), the text can be seen as foundational to defining anarchism both in overlap and starkly in contrast with Marxist communism. This is a seminal and eminent text on self-determination, and like Marx, will benefit the reader regardless of orthodox alignment. https://libcom.org/files/Peter%20Kropotkin%20-%20The%20Conquest%20of%20Bread_0.pdf

Leftism of the 20th Century and beyond

~

Freedom Is A Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, And The Foundations Of A Movement by Angela Davis This is something of a placeholder for Davis, as everything she has ever put to paper is profoundly valuable to international(ist) struggles against capitalism and it’s highest stage. Indeed, the emphasis on the relationship between American and Israeli racialised state violence highlights the struggles Davis has continually engaged since the late 1960s, that of a united front against imperialist oppression, white supremacists, patriarchal capitalist exploitation, and the carceral state. https://www.docdroid.net/rfDRFWv/freedom-is-a-constant-struggle-pdf#page=6

Postmodernism, Or, The Cultural Logic Of Late Capitalism by Frederic Jameson A frequent criticism of Marxism is the false claim that it is decreasingly relevant. Here, Jameson presents a compelling update of Marxist theory which addresses the hegemonic nature of mass media in the postmodern epoch (how befitting a tumblr post listing leftist literature). Despite being published in the early ‘90s, this analysis of late capitalism becomes all the more pertinent in the age of social media and ‘influencers’ etc., and illustrates just how immortal a science ours really is. https://is.muni.cz/el/1423/jaro2016/SOC757/um/61816962/Jameson_The_cultural_logic.pdf

The Ecology Of Freedom: The Emergence And Dissolution Of Hierarchy by Murray Bookchin I have not read this in depth, and take issue with some of Bookchin’s ideas, but this seems like a very good jumping off point to engage with ecosocialism or red-green theory. Regardless of any schism between Marxist and anarchist thought, the importance of uniting together to stem the unsustainable growth of industrialised capitalism cannot be denied. Climate change is unquestionably a threat faced by us all, but which will disproportionately impact the most disenfranchised on the planet. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-the-ecology-of-freedom.pdf

Why Marx Was Right by Terry Eagleton I’ve only read excerpts of this; I know Eagleton better for his extensive work on Marxist literary criticism, postmodernity, and postcolonial literature, so I’m including this work of his as a means of introducing and engaging directly with Marxism itself, rather than the synthesis of diverse fields of analysis. But Eagleton generally does a very good job of parsing often incredibly dense concepts in an accessible way, so I trust him to explain something so obvious and self-evident as why Marx was right. https://filosoficabiblioteca.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/EAGLETON-Terry-Why-Marx-Was-Right.pdf

By Any Means Necessary by Malcolm X Malcolm X is one of the pre-eminent voices of the revolutionary black power movement, and among the greatest contributors to black/American leftist thought. This is a collection of his speeches and writings, in which he eloquently and charismaticly conveys both his righteous outrage and optimism for the future. Malcolm X’s explicitly Marxist and decolonial rhetoric is often downplayed since his assassination, but even the title and slogan is borrowed from Frantz Fanon.

Feminism and gender theory

~

Sister Outsider: Essays And Speeches by Audre Lorde The primary thrust of this collection is the inclusion of ‘The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master’s House’, probably Lorde‘s most well known work, but all the contents are eminently worthwhile. Lorde addresses race, capitalist oppression, solidarity, sexuality and gender, in a rigourously rhetorical yet practical way that calls us to empower one another in the face of oppression. Lorde’s poetry is also great. http://images.xhbtr.com/v2/pdfs/1082/Sister_Outsider_Essays_and_Speeches_by_Audre_Lorde.pdf

Feminism Is For Everybody by bell hooks A seminal addition to Third Wave Feminist theory, emphasising the reality that the aim of feminism is to confront and dismantle patriarchal systems which oppress - you guessed it - everybody. This book approaches feminism through the lens of race and capitalism, feeding into the discourse on intersectionality which many of us now take as a central element of 21st Century feminism. https://excoradfeminisms.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/bell_hooks-feminism_is_for_everybody.pdf

Gender Trouble: Feminism And The Subversion Of Identity by Judith Butler Butler and her work form probably the single most significant (especially white) contribution to Third Wave Feminism, as well as queer theory. This may be a somewhat dense, academic work, but the primary hurdle is in deconstructing our existing perceptions of gender and identity, which we are certainly better equipped to do today specifically thanks to Butler. Vitally important stuff for dismantling hegemonic patriarchy. https://selforganizedseminar.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/butler-gender_trouble.pdf

Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink Or Blue by Leslie Feinberg Feinberg is perhaps the foundational voice in trans theory, best known for Stone Butch Blues, but this text seems like a good point to view hir push into mainstream acceptance where ze previously aligned hirself and trans groups more with gay and lesbian subcultures. A central element here is the accessibility and deconstruction of hegemonic gender and expression, but what this really expresses is a call for solidarity and support among marginalised classes, in a fight for our mutual visibility and survival, in the greatest of Marxist feminist traditions.

The Haraway Reader by Donna Haraway Haraway is perhaps better known as a post-humanist than a Marxist feminist, but in all honesty, I am not sure these can be disentangled so easily. My highest recommendation is the essay ‘A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century‘, but it is in many ways concerned more with aesthetics and media criticism than anything practical, and Haraway’s engagement with technology has only become more significant, with the proliferation of smartphones and wifi, to understanding our bodies and ourselves as instruments of resistance. https://monoskop.org/images/5/56/Haraway_Donna_The_Haraway_Reader_2003.pdf

Postcolonialism

The Wretched Of The Earth by Frantz Fanon Perhaps my highest recommendation, this will give you better insight into late stage (postcolonial) capitalism than perhaps anything else. Fanon was a psychologist, and his analyses help us parse the internal workings of both the capitalist and racialised minds. I don’t see this work recommended nearly enough, largely because Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks is a better source for race theory, but The Wretched Of The Earth is the best choice for understanding revolutionary, anti-capitalist, and decolonial ideas. http://abahlali.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Frantz-Fanon-The-Wretched-of-the-Earth-1965.pdf

Orientalism by Edward Said This is probably the best introduction to postcolonial theory, particularly because it focuses on colonial/imperialist abuses in media and art. Said’s later work Culture And Imperialism may actually be a better source for strictly leftist analysis, but this is the groundwork for understanding the field, and will help readers confront and interpret everything from Western military interventionism to racist motifs in Disney films. https://www.eaford.org/site/assets/files/1631/said_edward1977_orientalism.pdf

Decolonisation Is Not A Metaphor by Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang In direct response to Fanon’s call to decolonise (the mind), Tuck and Yang present a compelling assertion that the abstraction of decolonisation paves the way for settler claims of innocence rather than practical rapatriation of land and rights. The relatively short article centres and problematises ongoing complicity in the agenda of settler-colonial hegemony and the material conditions of indigenous groups in the postcolonial epoch. Important stuff for anti-imperialist work and solidarity. https://clas.osu.edu/sites/clas.osu.edu/files/Tuck%20and%20Yang%202012%20Decolonization%20is%20not%20a%20metaphor.pdf

The Coloniser And The Colonised by Albert Memmi Often read in tandem with Fanon, as both are concerned with trauma, violence, and dehumanisation. But further, Memmi addresses both the harm inflicted on the colonised body and the colonisers’ own culture and mind, while also exploring the impetus of practical resistance and dismantling imperialist control structures. This is also of great import to confronting detractors, offering the concrete precedent of Algerian decolonisation. https://cominsitu.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/albert-memmi-the-colonizer-and-the-colonized-1.pdf

Can The Subaltern Speak? by Gayatri Spivak This relatively short (though dense) essay will ideally help us to confront the real struggles of many of the most disenfranchised people on earth, removing us from questions of bourgeois wage-slavery and focusing on the right to education and freedom from sexual assault, not to mention the legacy of colonial genocide. http://abahlali.org/files/Can_the_subaltern_speak.pdf 

Wider cultural studies

~

No Logo by Naomi Klein I have some qualms with Klein, but she nevertheless makes important points regarding the systemic nature of neoliberal global capitalism and hegemony. No Logo addresses consumerism at a macro scale, emphasising the importance of what may be seen as internationalist solidarity and support and calling out corporate scapegoating on consumer markets. I understand that This Changes Everything is perhaps even better for addressing the unreasonable expectations of indefinite and unsustainable growth under capitalist systems, but I haven’t read it and therefore cannot recommend; regardless, this is a good starting point. https://archive.org/stream/fp_Naomi_Klein-No_Logo/Naomi_Klein-No_Logo_djvu.txt

The Black Atlantic: Modernity And Double Consciousness by Paul Gilroy This is an important source for understanding the development of diasporic (particularly black) identities in the wake of the Middle Passage between African and America, but more generally as well. This work can be related to parallel phenomena of racialised violence, genocide, and forced migration more widely, but it is especially useful for engaging with the legacy of slavery, the cultural development of blackness, and forms of everyday resistance. https://dl1.cuni.cz/pluginfile.php/756417/mod_resource/content/1/Gilroy%20Black%20Atlantic.pdf

Imagined Communities: Reflections On The Origin And Spread Of Nationalism by Benedict Anderson This text is important in understanding the nature of both high colonialism and fascism, perhaps now more than ever. Anderson examines the political manipulation and agenda of cultural production, that is the propagandised, artificial act of nation building. This analyses the development of nation states as the norm of political unity in historiographical terms, as symptomatic of old school European imperialism. Today we may see this reflected in Brexit or MAGA, but lebensraum and zionism are just as evident in the analysis. https://is.muni.cz/el/1423/jaro2016/SOC757/um/6181696/Benedict_Anderson_Imagined_Communities.pdf

Discipline And Punish: The Birth Of The Prison by Michel Foucault Honestly, I am not sure if this should be on this list; I would certainly not call it leftist. That said, it is a very important source to inform our perceptions of the nature of institutional power and abuse. It is also unquestionable that many of the pre-eminent left-leaning scholars of the past fifty years have been heavily influenced, willing or not, by Foucault and his post-structuralist ilk. A worthwhile read, especially for queer readers, but take with a liberal (zing!) helping of salt. https://monoskop.org/images/4/43/Foucault_Michel_Discipline_and_Punish_The_Birth_of_the_Prison_1977_1995.pdf

Trouble In Paradise: From The End Of History To The End Of Capitalism by Slavoj Žižek Probably just don’t read this, it amounts to self-torture. Okay but seriously, I wanted to include Žižek (perhaps against my better judgement), but he is probably best seen as a lesson in recognising theorists as fallible, requiring our criticism rather than being followed blindly. I like Žižek, but take him as a kind of clown provocateur who may lead us to explore interesting ideas. He makes good points, but he also... Doesn’t... Watch a couple youtube videos and decide if you can stomach him before diving in.

Additional highly recommended authors (with whom I am not familiar enough to give meaningful descriptions or specific recommended texts) (let me know if you find anything of significant value from among these, as I am likely unaware!):

Theodor Adorno (of the Frankfurt School, which also included Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, and Walter Benjamin, all of whom I’d likewise recommend but with whom I have only passing familiarity) was a sociologist and musicologist whose aesthetic analyses are incredibly rich and insightful, and heavily influential on 20th Century Marxist theory.

Sara Ahmed is a significant voice in Third Wave Feminist criticism, engaging with queer theory, postcoloniality, intersectionality, and identity politics, of particular interest to international praxis.

Mikhail Bakhtin was a critic and scholar whose theories on semiotics, language, and literature heavily guided the development of structuralist thought as well as later Marxist philosophy.

Mikhail Bakunin is perhaps the closest thing to anarchist orthodoxy. Consistently involved with revolutionary action, he is known as a staunch critic of Marxist rhetoric, and a seminal influence on anti-authoritarian movements.

Silvia Federici is a Marxist feminist who has contributed significant work regarding women’s unpaid labour and the capitalist subversion of the commons in historiographical contexts.

Mark Fisher was a leftist critic whose writing on music, film, and pop culture was intimately engaged with postmodernity, structuralist thought, and most importantly Marxist aesthetics.

Che Guevara was a major contributor to revolutionary efforts internationally, most notably and successfully in Cuba. His writing is robustly pragmatic as well as eloquent, and offers practical insight to leftist action.

Hồ Chí Minh was a revolutionary communist leader of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and a significant contributor to revolutionary communist theory and anti-imperialist practice.

C.L.R. James is a significant voice in 20th Century (especially black) Marxist theory, engaging with and criticising Trotskyist principles and the role of ethnic minorities in revolutionary and democratic political movements.

Joel Kovel was a researcher known as the founder of ecosocialism. His work spans a wide array of subjects, but generally tends to return to deconstructing capitalism in its highest stage.

György Lukács was a critic who contributed heavily to the Western Marxism of the Frankfurt School and engaged with aesthetics and traditions of Marx’s philosophical ideology in contrast with Soviet policy of the time.

Rosa Luxemburg was a revolutionary socialist organiser, publisher, and economist, directly engaged in practical leftist activity internationally for a significant part of the early 20th Century.

Mao Zedong was a revolutionary communist, founder and Chairman of the People’s Republic of China, and a prolific contributor to Marxism-Leninism(-Maoism), which he adapted to the material conditions outside the Western imperial core.

Huey P. Newton was the co-founder of the Black Panther Party and a vital force in the spread and accessibility of communist thought and practical internationalism, not to mention black revolutionary tactics.

Léopold Sédar Senghor was a poet-turned-politician who served as Senegal’s first president and established the basis for African socialism. Also central to postcolonial theory, and a leader of the Négritude movement.

***

I hope this list may be useful. (I would also be interested to see the recommendations of others!) Happy reading, comrades. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

Speech by Princess Leonor at the Princess of Asturias Awards 2021

Your Majesties, authorities, board members, ladies and gentlemen,

I am very happy to return to Oviedo to celebrate the delivery of our awards. I have always seen my parents in this scenario recognize a job well done and the initiatives and ideas that make societies better. And that is why I believe that, again this year, we must continue to remember that our winners are an essential guide for all of us.

This interconnected world in which we live allows all of us to get closer to the works of those who today receive our awards. And in my case, as a high school student, I think of all the young people who can do it and how much we can learn from you.

I congratulate you all and I admire you.

Gloria Steinem, for her committed defense of women's rights; Marina Abramović, for her extraordinary talent and for the emotion that she provokes in the audience; Camfed, for their essential work in educating so many women and girls who suffer discrimination or violence; Amartya Sen, who dedicates his intelligence to seeking solutions against social inequalities; Emmanuel Carrère, for allowing us to feel and help us understand the world; Teresa Perales, for her strength, determination and perseverance; to Covid-19 vaccine researchers, who have shown that science brings safety and progress; and José Andrés and his World Central Kitchen, for feeding people in need.

Knowing you - your works and your lives - is something that has motivated me even more in my task of training and studying, you project on us, on the youngest, the certainty that we also have a lot to contribute, that we can be important and show ourselves responsible to try to think of a more sustainable, fairer, better future for all. Studying and observing your work, dear winners, excites me and fills me with strength to continue assuming my responsibilities and always work with the greatest commitment.

Thanks to all of you who make it possible for us to be here today; Thanks to those of you who support the Foundation and promote the idea that culture, science and solidarity are essential for our life together.

I will soon return to my studies with the memory of a new awards ceremony that, once again, excites and moves us. And I will miss this land, Asturias, which I love so much and where my sister Sofía and I always feel at home.

Thank you.

The Deep Space Nine episode “Statistical Probabilities” is my favorite Trek story of all time. Don’t remember it? That’s not surprising.

There are more than fifty year’s worth of articles listing the best episodes of Star Trek across the various series with passionate defenses. The same episodes generally top these lists, even if the order shifts around. Does “City of the Edge of Forever” or “Inner Light” deserve top billing? Or should it be “Yesterday’s Enterprise” or “Far Beyond the Stars?”

Perhaps the reason no one ever considers this episode is it’s less of a story and more of a thought experiment. In today’s highly polarized environment, this inconspicuous DS9 episode feels more salient than ever.

In 2020, social media fights devolve into reductive arguments where everyone is assumed to be either a nationalist or a socialist and depending on your worldview, one of those words is a dirty slur and the other is a badge of honor. Even everyday discourse outside of social media has seen us turn words like “patriotism” and “treason” into weapons to suit narratives, with both sides firmly believing they are the true patriots while the other side is comprised of traitors.

I get caught up in this myself. I don’t want to get into my own political views or start a “both sides” argument, so this is where I turn it over to Star Trek and Dr. Julian Bashir, who finds himself caught in an impossible situation that calls into question the very nature of patriotism and treachery and shows how easily the line between those two concepts can be blurred.

A little background if you’re not familiar—in the year 2374, the Federation is made up of thousands of member planets. War is rare, poverty has been eliminated, aliens of all different species live in general harmony with each other. Then the Dominion, an interstellar military empire run by shape-shifting aliens shows up and wants to annex the Federation under its control.

The Federation, understandably miffed at the Dominion’s plans for stripping them of their autonomy, tells the Dominion to kick rocks. A war breaks out. Unfortunately, the Federation is outclassed, outgunned, and outnumbered in just about every way. It’s tough to win a war against an opponent with a larger force, superior technology, and aliens who can shape shift into literally anything, from a table to a Federation starship captain, making them able to easily swipe any intelligence they want on a whim.

It’s also important to note that the Dominion, while an imperialist superpower, isn’t necessarily out to break, exploit, and subjugate the spirits of the people under its control. For planets willing to peacefully submit to Dominion rule, life for the average citizen probably continues on more or less the same—people probably still have barbecues and go to church and do whatever they did before—they just trade one government for another. For planets not willing to yield, punishment is swift and severe.

And this is where “Statistical Probabilities” comes in. Dr. Julian Bashir is tasked with working with several genius “augments” to develop a statistical model to predict the outcome of a Federation-Dominion War. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take the augments long to recognize the Federation will never win with its current resources. They determine if the Federation fights back, it will suffer the loss of hundreds of billions of casualties and Dominion reprisal for their resistance will make life very brutal for the survivors.

However, they calculate that if the Federation peacefully surrenders, there will be no casualties and no Dominion reprisals—the only thing that will functionally change is who people make out their tax checks to. Not only that, with the saved lives and resources of averting a catastrophic zero sum war, the Federation will position itself to develop technologies within a few generations to successfully defeat the Dominion and re-declare independence in the future.

So the augments recommend immediate and strategic surrender. Dr. Bashir is disheartened to hear this, but he sees the logic in temporary capitulation because he’s a medical doctor and the idea of saving hundreds of billions of lives has to fit into that “first do no harm” ethic, surely. So you know what’s coming.

So he tells his higher ups what they’ve discovered, and you can imagine how that goes.

So the augments’ next play is to go full WikiLeaks. They calculate that if they were to give the Federation’s battleplans to the Dominion, the war would be short, casualties would be minimal, and the Dominion would still treat them relatively well once all the member states learned to toe the line.

This is the part I’ve chewed on for decades. When is treason not treason, or at least, when is treason the better option?

I served in the U.S. Army. I took an oath to protect and defend the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The idea of freely giving the enemy all the actionable intelligence they need to defeat my country makes me nauseated. The only thing that makes me sicker is the thought of most of my fellow citizens being senselessly murdered if I didn’t go all Benedict Arnold on their asses.

The dictionary says treason is “the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.” But is betraying your country and betraying your government always the same thing? A country is made up of people, and a government is made up of a few people who should, in theory, support what is best for the greatest number of citizens. So what is to be done when a few people in power decide they would rather die free than live in subjugation, even if it comes at massive cost to the citizenry they have a duty to serve? A conversation that goes like this.

As an American, I fully appreciate that many of my fellow citizens have a lust for freedom that borders on psychopathy, but I personally accept that most of life is lived in shades of gray and not in black and white. There’s a pretty wide spectrum between total freedom and total slavery and life at either of the extremes would be pretty bleak. But there’s also no apparent consensus on what even constitutes independence or oppression.

Just look at the debate over masks in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. On the one hand, you could argue being required to wear a mask is a total violation of your personal freedom. On the other hand, you could argue we wear masks so that you can be free to live your life as safely as possible. Perhaps the truth is actually somewhere in the middle—wearing a mask is a small concession of individual freedom for the greater freedom of everyone.

I’ve thought about “Statistical Probabilities” and Dr. Bashir’s conundrum a lot in recent years. Would he be a patriot for supporting his government, even if he knows it would result in unimaginable death and suffering in the name of the theoretical ideal of freedom, or would he be a patriot for betraying his government for the sake of a practical outcome, which is saving the lives of hundreds of billions of people and ensuring the quality of their lives is bearable? 

And the reality is he’ll be a traitor no matter what he does, but what kind of traitor is better? I have a sneaking suspicion that how people answer this question is probably a powerful predictor of their political affiliation, and how quickly they answer it is directly correlated to the amount of wisdom they possess.

I won’t tell you how he gets out of this awful pickle because of course he does. Dr. Bashir is fictional and exists in a universe where everyone gets a tidy copout in the end. Us mortals in the real world are rarely so lucky and we’re doomed for eternity to grapple with impossible questions, each of us more convinced than the last that our solution is the right solution and everyone else it’s everyone else who’s the traitor.

MESSAGE IN HONOR OF THE 189TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE PARIS REVOLT AND THE 77TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE D-DAY AIRBORNE OFFENSIVE

Ladies and gentlemen, to all the people of the United States of America and Canada, to all our remaining living veterans of the Second World War of 1939-1945 and of all conflicts past and present and their families, to our veterans, active servicemen and women, reservists and families of the entire United States Armed Forces and Canadian Armed Forces, and to all the uniformed military and civil security services of the Allied combatants of this conflict, to all the immediate families, relatives, children and grandchildren of the deceased veterans, fallen service personnel and wounded personnel of our military services and civil uniformed security and civil defense services, to all our workers, farmers and intellectuals, to our youth and personnel serving in youth uniformed and cadet organizations and all our athletes, coaches, judges, sports trainers and sports officials, and to all our sports fans, to all our workers of culture, music, traditional arts and the theatrical arts, radio, television, digital media and social media, cinema, heavy and light industry, agriculture, business, tourism and the press, and to all our people of the free world:

As the whole world enters a new chapter in the long struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic with the arrival of vaccines, we today mark two very important anniversaries in world history, two very important milestones in the history of humanity.

Today we honor the anniversary of the beginning of the 1832 June Rebellion, which occurred in the French capital, Paris, as a republican rebellion of students, industry workers and common people calling for France to uphold its duty as the protector of freedoms of the peoples of the world, as a result of the failed Polish November Uprising months before, so that France and her armed forces could come to the aid of independence movements in the continent.

And today marks the 77th year anniversary since the beginning of one of the greatest airborne operations of the Second World War in the European Theater of Operations. The D-Day airborne landings, the first part of the memorable air and seaborne operations that began the long road for the liberation of western parts of Europe, took place exactly 77 years ago as airborne units from the United States, British and French Armies began to land in designated areas of Normandy in France in advance of the million-strong amphibious landing forces that were to disembark the following day. These paratroopers, including personnel of Easy Company of the 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), were the first wave of solder liberators of Western Europe, whose landings were the first steps towards the first great victory of the Western Front – the victorious liberation of parts of Normandy from Nazi Germany, the first of many to be liberated from the aggression of the Axis Powers. The bravery and courage shown by these paratroopers enabled the amphibious solders, gunners and armored crews, assisted by sailors and aircraft pilots and crews, to make the landings happen.

Today, as we honor the twin anniversaries of these two events, we honor and remember these events’ contributions to the long history of the human race, and the need to forever sustain the memory of these events in our consciousness because of the fact that these events have been forever immortalized in many forms of art, including in literature like Hugo’s Les Miserables and Ambrose’s Band of Brothers, in theater and television. We will never forget the immortal legacy left behind by these events to our history, and we pledge to forever keep them in our hearts for generation upon generation. We will forever cherish those who died during these two great events and carry on the lessons learned and the memory of such great events in our times.

Today, as the world comes closer to the end of the long pandemic that was the cause of the cancellation of the festivities last year in honor of the 76th year of D-Day, in recalling the brave heroes of our times in the form of the medical workers, all essential public and private sector workers and all members of our military, law enforcement and emergency services, we remember once more the heroes of 1832 and 1944 and always pledge to forever honor and remember such immortal legacies today and for the years and decades more to come, for the sake of our children and grandchildren and for the hope of a better world and a more civilized and united society!

LONG LIVE THE 189TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1832 JUNE REBELLION!

LONG LIVE THE 77TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE D-DAY OFFENSIVE OF 1944!

ETERNAL GLORY TO ALL THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE OF OUR WORLD!

ETERNAL GLORY TO ALL THOSE WHO FOUGHT AGAINST THE FORCES OF FASCISM AND LIBERATED A WORLD FROM THE THREATS AND EVIL ACTIONS OF THE AXIS POWERS IN EUROPE AND NORTHERN AFRICA!

And in honor of the 77th year anniversary of the great baptism of fire of the 101st Airborne Division, and to the entire HBO War Fandom who for all time will always remember this very moment in history as depicted in the 2nd episode of the award winning 2001 HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers”:

LONG LIVE EASY COMPANY, 2ND BATTALION, 506TH PARACHUTE INFANTRY REGIMENT, 3RD BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM, 101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION (AIR ASSAULT), XVIII AIRBORNE CORPS, UNITED STATES ARMY! CURRAHEE! AIR ASSAULT! ARMY STRONG! HOOOAH!!

Masterlist

A/N: OKAY WAIT I CAN EXPLAIN SDFJEVJ- 

A big thank you for everyone who was waiting patiently. I know I haven’t been active lately, and I’ve been getting asks about this story and honestly I felt terrible for not updating, not because I was feeling pressured. So don’t think it was anyone pressuring me, honestly it wasn’t. I haven’t been feeling that motivated to write. School had kicked my ass the last few weeks, especially with this covid and everything happening, I’ve been exhausted. My job was ‘essential’ enough to keep me working throughout everything, and i had been picking up shifts and working my ass off, and honestly? I’m over work but lol need that money right

But I want to continue this story, I want to finish it. I have so much planned and I don’t want to abandon it. So I wont(: Get ready for updates, cause they’re coming. My other stories, I don’t really know what to do, I’ll make a post about that later. For now, enjoy this; it’s short, but I’m already working on the next chapter(:

You watched the next battle feeling more upbeat, thanking everyone as they gave you their congratulations. You were in awe at the fight between Bakugou and Kirishima, seeing as the former was on the defensive until the latter was suffering due to the overuse of his quirk. Bakugou had sent relentless attack after attack, managing to knock Eijiro out and win the battle. 

“With that vicious win, Bakugou advances to the third round! Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at our final four.”

You glance up to the big screen to see a picture of you along with Bakugou, Todoroki, and Iida on it, the cheers erupting all around the stadium. You chug down your 5th bottle of water before turning on your heel to walk out; you hadn’t sat down, choosing to stand by the entrance just to watch the fight. 

You throw your bottle in the trash as you head down the hallway, spotting a boy making his way towards you,

“Hey, Izuku,” you wave, a smile on your face, “you’re looking, well, better.”

“O-oh, hey! Yea, I guess so,” he smiled back sheepishly, his arm in a cast and he was bandaged all over, “Recovery Girl healed me up, enough to walk at least.”

“Shouldn’t you be resting up then? It’s not smart to make your injuries worse you know.”

“I’ll be fine, really, I don’t want to miss any more battles. This is where everyone’s efforts are paying off, including yours. Congrats on being top four, (y/n).” He beams, there was that excited gleam in his eye, the one he gets when he watches a pro at work. 

“O-oh, thanks-” You blush at the look, being cut off as he starts to rant.

“Tokoyami is super strong, and you managed to win! I mean, since I also found out about Dark Shadows and Tokoyami’s weakness I assumed you would have no trouble taking him down. Not saying you wouldn’t have won without a weakness! I don’t doubt you and your abilities, really, you’re an amazing fighter! I wish I would have been able to see your fight, but at least I’ll be able to watch you go up against Kaachan-”

Your laughter brought him out of his word vomit, and he felt the blush grow along his face. He knew he often had issues with muttering whatever he thought, but for some reason it was worse when he was with you; his tongue felt heavy in his mouth, his head was light, and he couldn’t help how he spoke his mind. He liked talking to you, telling you everything he thought. You always gave him your full attention, no matter how crazy, long, or irritating it was.

Maybe that’s why he found you so captivating?

“S-sorry, I was doing it again..”

“Don’t be, and you were with me in spirit Deku! Even if you didn’t get to watch. Plus, I doubted myself against Tokoyami in the first place, I wouldn’t blame you if you did.” You watched as his eyes widened.

“But I didn’t! I-”

“I know, thank you. I mean it,” you bite your lip to contain the grin that wants to break across your face, “you always believe in me and I appreciate it. You’re the best, Izuku.”

The large blush that spread across his body made you giggle once more before you continued forward, glancing back to give a dazzling smile. 

“Now go watch those matches, I’ll be listening for your cheers when it’s my turn!”

“Ye-yeah…” The goofy grin stayed on his face the rest of his journey to the stands. 

You made it to the waiting room, breathing in deeply as you steal your nerves for the next match. You were calmer this time, not in the sense of feeling confident, oh no.

You were going up against Bakugou Katsuki; one of the strongest and smartest guys you've ever met. He had such an incredible display of reflexes and skills, for this fight you knew you had to be smart and cautious if you wanted half a chance against him. 

The more you thought about it, the more you felt as if your head would explode. There weren’t really a lot of ways to go about it; he didn’t have a huge drawback like yours or Tokoyami’s, his greatest weakness was most likely the prolonged use of his quirk, and the strain it provided on his muscles and fibers in his arms. He wasn’t stupid either, he quick reaction times and well thought up plans-as long as Izuku wasn’t involved.

He always lost it when it came to Deku. 

The sound of announcements rang overhead, and you snapped out of your thoughts to see you've been sitting for about five minutes or so. You stand and leave the room, heading out of the waiting room and towards the arena. 

Walking up the steps, you saw your opponent already waiting. The pillars in the corners erupting with flames, the crowd being drowned out by the booming voice of Present Mic. 

“And now, Bakugou vs Hakamata! These two have been coming out high in the ranks all day, let’s see which one can handle the heat better! Those destructive explosions or that fiery light! There could have also been sparks of a burning romance between these two, will this be the end of it!?” 

“You’re jumping to conclusions again.”

You desperately ignore the teasing words, knowing your dad was definitely going to have a talk with you once this was all over. You noticed the slight flushing of Bakugou’s face, knowing he must’ve been annoyed by the accusations as well. 

“Oh well, ready!? BEGIN!”

Wasting no time, you spring forward, using your quirk to give you a boost as you drew your arm back for an attack. Bakugou cocked his own right arm, setting off an explosion to get you to back off. You dodge, bringing your arm down and having light extend to the ground to push off and throw you up into the air. Maneuvering behind him you extend your leg, knocking an elongated beam of light into his back.

He let out a grunt, and without missing a beat turning and reaching to grab a hold of your ankle. You willed the light to wrap around your ankle, raising the heat in hopes of him letting go.

“Fuck!”

He still held on, despite any pain, throwing you over his shoulder onto the concrete. You caught yourself, landing in a crouched position. There wasn’t a clear way to beat him from a distance, nor was there a clear victory to beat him in close combat. The longer he continued, the more he’d sweat-the more his quirk would be fueled.

All you had to do was bring the heat, be fast, get him out of bounds. 

Bakugou stared straight into your eyes and saw how determined you were, the steely focus that left him feeling weird. As if he were hyper aware yet dazed at the same time; you were strong, there was no doubt in his mind that you could kick some ass, even if you had some doubt against yourself. 

However, no matter how large your smile was, how bright that stupid sparkle in your eye was after you won a match, he couldn’t afford to lose. He was angry; angry at people for thinking less of him, angry with people assuming he was all talk, angry with Icy Hot-acting as if Deku was more of a threat than he was. He needed to fight to prove himself, and he’d take down anyone in his way. Even if it was you. 

He threw an open palm towards you, a large exploding firing that you couldn’t dodge went straight towards your face. Thankfully you weren’t sent flying back, your quick thinking allowing you to extend your light as a brace to hold you steady at the impact, mentally thanking Todoroki for the move.

Since you were able to steady yourself, along with having the cover of the smoke, countering was a move Bakugou clearly didn’t expect as you lunged forward and landed a punch against his cheek.

“That was a solid hit little miss Hakamata delivered!”

The moment your fist connected you saw the look on his face; that glare and that feral grin of his as it spread across his lips.

“FUCKING DIE!”

His shout accompanied a larger, more forceful explosion, this time successfully knocking you back. You rolled along the ground, quickly picking yourself up as you sent multiple beams of light yourself to counter his explosions. They were hindering your aim, knocking into each other and effectively missing him. 

It was all too frustrating.

You thought of a way you could beat him, but to do so you’d be taking an even bigger risk than you did with Tokoyami. At least in that battle, you were pretty darn sure your light would do the trick. You tried a move, a calculated risk, and it all fell into place thankfully. This time however, you had one chance and if you screwed up; it’d be all over. 

If there was a way to maneuver him closer to the edge, you could rush at him with your light speed and hit him with a giant blast of light to knock him over the edge. 

All you needed to do was get him to step out of bounds, you could do this. 

Throughout your thinking, you had been countering Bakugou’s explosions, and vice versa with him flinging explosions your way to counteract your light. It was getting easier to see his power growing, the more sweat he was able to produce was giving him that boost. While in turn, your body only began to grow even warmer, uncomfortably so. You wanted nothing more than to rip off the new jacket you put on, to cool off in some way, but you were unable. 

This battle was going on for too long, and you couldn’t risk it continuing, so you slowly started to back away and put distance between you two. 

Bakugou didn’t seem to notice, so you hoped, as you made it far enough away to not be so close to the edge but just enough to give you a boost. You grunt, the heat feeling stronger as you let it course through you, glowing once more and rushing at the boy in front of you. 

When you were using your light speed, despite how fast you traveled, you were able to see just about everything around you. The contrast was weird, but it was one you were used to with practice. You were unable to grab or touch anything in this form, since you were practically light yourself, so to be able to get Bakugou out of the ring you had to quickly go back to your original state. 

Doing so, you only had a split second to see Bakugou’s eyes widen as you used your body to ram into his chest. You hear him gasp out, the force of you slamming into him causing the breath to escape from his lungs, as he was sent flying back. 

Your hands on his chest draw light, extending it to help you further, sending you both in opposite directions; instead of following him out of the ring, you fall backwards as he skids across the ground and flies through the air towards the ground.

‘This is it,’ you think to yourself, watching him fall. 

The smile on your face was immediately wiped away as you saw how Bakugou twisted in the air, arms pointed down towards the ground as he used his quirk to propel himself upwards. You try to stand, pushing away your dizzy spell as you try to send more light beams to get him off course and have him fall. 

It was no good. 

Katsuki used his quirk to rush you this time, just as you did him, and sent wave after wave of explosions your way while still in the air. Just like that it was over, the force of his quirk knocked you off, the heat only making your head spin as you fell onto the ground off the arena.

Your body was hot, it was aching, and you were trying to breath but found it difficult to do so-you reached your limit. Two big moves in one day was too much for you to handle, and you saw black in the corner of your eyes. 

The stadium was silent for a moment, Midnight’s voice being the last thing you heard before your eyes fluttered closed.

“Hakamata is out of bounds, Bakugou is the winner!”

The status of MAHA cases in Australia

CLICK HERE TO UNDERSTAND THE HUGE DANGERS OF COVID mRNA VACCINES

NEW HEADQUARTERS AT THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA

To simplify and ensure the proper legal process of our class action of our 28,000 and growing class action members, MAHA has filed a petition with the Federal Court of Australia.

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE APPLICATION FROM THE FEDERAL COURT

REPLIES OF THE HIGH COURT

The largest collective action in the history of Australia.

On July 3, 2021, we filed a summons and attached to the summons against the Victorian government for false emergency treason and loss of constitutional rights in the Canberra Registry of the High Court of Australia on behalf of 16,824 co-joiners.

(Since developing the case, our co-joiners have skyrocketed over 28,000!)

The MAHA was then informed by the Canberra Registry that "class action proceedings do not fall within the original or appellate jurisdiction of the High Court". So we need to file our Class Action in a different Jurisdiction. The logical choice is the Federal Court of Australia, whose jurisdiction allows for class action.

We believe the Class Action aspect of our case is of paramount importance and therefore our team is now busy with this presentation and will keep you posted.

This Australian government no longer represents the Australian people.

This Australian government is now a company with international corporate clients.

This government agenda is funded and controlled by international corporate clients for the benefit of these clients and NOT for us, the Australian people.

This Australian government is blindly following mainland China's dictatorship and terrorizing the Australian people with a totally false panic based on corporate lies about the common cold that has been and will be with us forever. A strategic lure corporate artificial virus was released in Wuhan specifically to create fear and terror around the world.

The Australian government dictatorship has destroyed our economy, is robbing us of our human and legal rights, terrifies us with shocking and unfounded fear and panic, and is creating universal suffering for all Australians, destroying our businesses, assets, our lives and our families.

This is treason.

40,000 Australians have died since the beginning of February this year, 750 from the flu.

Have you heard of these Australians who died?

Nothing Nada Nix.

Has the Australian economy been shut down due to the deaths of these 40,000 Australians? Or even for the 750 deaths from the flu? NO.

What we are being shot 24/7 is a tiny minuscule of these unfortunate old age deaths that are still part of those 40,000, who have comorbid issues aside from old age, who are assigned by a RT- False positive PCR test designed for a totally unproven "flu-like" disease Covid19 that can't even pass Koch's postulates, the gold standard of infectious disease testing.

The President of Tanzania recently received tests for papayas, goats and birds again positive for Covid19 https://bit.ly/3beVera

It is estimated that 3000 Australians commit suicide directly as a result of this shocking campaign of terror and betrayal by the Australian government against us, the Australian people.

They tell us we are in a pandemic. Pandemics are defined by a huge number of people who become seriously ill and die. Where is this pandemic? It's like the emperor's new clothes. Nowhere.

The Australian Government's international pharmaceutical and corporate friends, whose sole focus is monetary profit, have taken over the World Health Organization, which has become Big Pharma's World Department for Marketing and Distribution of Unsafe and Untested Vaccines . Their main goal is to send poisonous, untested vaccines to the entire world population with huge profits.

And all this demic panic was designed to gain total control of the people of the world.

The vaccines have failed. The herd immunity of vaccines is a lie.

Vaccines are poisonous and have never been tested for safety. Australians are now sicker than we have ever been. Autism is skyrocketing. It is estimated that one in two Australian children will be autistic by 2025.

This could bring about the demise of the Australian nation.

4,000 innocent Australian babies and adults were killed directly by injecting vaccines.

1.5 million innocent Australian babies, children and adults, were directly mutilated by injecting vaccines.

There are literally thousands of scientific studies showing that unvaccinated children and adults are much healthier than vaccinated children and adults who have been systematically poisoned by vaccines.

Vaccines contain the most toxic foreign and man-made substances carried directly into our bloodstream, bypassing all of our natural immune defense systems.

Vaccines include both male and female contaminants and DNA from mice, pigs, dead cancerous human fetuses, cows, chickens, monkeys, dogs and worms. They contain live and dead viruses and bacteria that are injected directly into our bloodstream. Vaccines contain aluminum which is scientifically proven to directly cause autism. Vaccines contain many other poisons including formaldehyde, detergent, antifreeze, yeast, preservatives, and metals.

LET SOMETHING BE INJECTED INTO YOUR BODY THAT CAUSES:

Febrile respiratory disease, asthma, multiple sclerosis, chronic arthritis, arthralgia; myalgia, polyneuritis, encephalitis, encephalopathy, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, febrile convulsions; aphebrile seizures or convulsions, ataxia, polyneuritis, polyneuropathy, ocular paralysis, paraesthesia diabetes, anaphylactic shock and anaphylactoid reactions angioneurotic edema, autoimmune diseases, austism, severe eye infections or loss of vision, severe rash, encephalitis (severe brain reaction), which can lead to permanent brain damage, Severe infection starting at the vaccination site, Death, Hypersensitivity, Panniculitis; atypical measles; temperature; syncope; headache; dizziness; malaise; irritability, Vasculitis, Pancreatitis; diarrhea; He retched; mumps, nausea, thrombocytopenia, purpura, regional lymphadenopathy, leukocytosis, aseptic meningitis.

This is a partial list of the side effects of the measles mumps and rubella MMR vaccine.

Soon you won't be able to go to work, college, school, get your driver's license, go to the supermarket or leave the house without being fully vaccinated. It is already happening in Victoria and Western Australia.

Furthermore, while we are in isolation, the Australian government is stepping up the rollout of 5G, a totally dangerous and dangerous technology that has NEVER been tested for safety.

These politicians are working for international corporate fascist clients and not for you, the Australian people. Their final game is an Australian fascist corporate dictatorship.

The Constitution of Australia clearly states that we, the Australian people, control the government. They are our public employees.

Yet, covertly, the Australian Constitution is devastatingly eroded by these Traitors. They presented themselves as modern barons and lords, illegally bending the laws, paying huge salaries with our taxes, living in luxury and treating us Australians as second-class citizens. They have taken control of your Parliament, the People's Parliament of Australia, which we of the People of Australia have built, paid for and owned.

We are not allowed in Parliament to express our opinion against their international fascist corporate decisions, ladies and gentlemen. The Australian people have banished us from our own Parliament, in a dusty field half a kilometer in front of our Government Building, where pathetically, like slaves, we cry our complaints from afar, to the wind never to be heard.

This is a shocking state of Evil and Corruption in our great Southern Land.

They disown us, the Australian people. They steal our land, our water, our minerals and sell them to their cronies in the international government, in order to line their pockets.

They are selling Australia from under our feet, ladies and gentlemen.

One of our greatest and bravest Australian citizens, our international hero of truth, Julian Assange is allowed to rot in prison in an overseas country, by these spineless Gollums who flock to and get paid by the United States, China and from other foreign countries, and the Antichrist Bill Gates and his cronies who plan to take over the whole world via their fake Panic Demic, based on a false disease, Covid19 and a fake RT-PCR test, all run by their Big Department. Pharma marketing and distribution of untested and poisonous vaccines which can now be called the World Organization of Hell.

Not anymore.

Australia is time for us to rebel

WE DO NOT ALLOW FALSE LOCKDOWN, SELF-INSULATING, SOCIAL DISTANCE, TRACKING APP

WE DO NOT ALLOW 5G TO BE GROUND INSTALLED WHILE WE ARE LOCK DOWN

WE DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE INJECTED WITH POISONOUS VACCINES NOT TESTED MANDATORY AND COERCITIVE AND MICROCHIP AND NANOBOT

WE VOTE NO TRUST IN THIS TRAITOR TIRANNIC FASCIST GOVERNMENT THAT DESTROYS OUR LIFE, OUR AID AND OUR COUNTRY FOR A FALSE PANIC DEMIC BASED ON A FALSE DISEASE AND FALSE ASSOCIATED TESTS

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE IDIOTIC AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT AND RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION, YOUR DECEPTION, YOUR BETRAYAL AND YOUR CRIMES YOU ARE COMMITING AGAINST ALL AUSTRALIANS

IT IS THE BIGGEST AGAINST IN HISTORY. And our ridiculously STUPID Australian government is backing it up and controlled by its cronies like banking cartels, Big Pharma, Anti-Christ Gates, WHO which is wholly owned by vaccine cartels and Big Pharma and other NWO players. . Our Australian media is also owned by these same satanic organizations. It is as clear as the nose on our face.

And we Australians for our part are treated like totally brainless animals. All our human rights have been stripped from us, including the right to decide what is injected into our bodies and into the bodies of our children. We can't even move from our homes or visit our friends and families or enjoy parties or sports. Our businesses are being destroyed and taken away from us, as are our homes and other assets. We have been ruined and thrown into abject poverty by our OWN GOVERNMENT. We are fined $ 1,500 for talking to someone.

Where are all the millions of people who die from this fake Covid19?

THEY DO NOT EXIST. THEY MUST "STEAL" DEATH FROM OLD AGE AND DEATH FROM CO-SOFTNESS TO TRY TO STRENGTHEN THE FALSE NUMBER OF "COVID19" DEATHS. PLEASE WAKE UP. HOW CAN YOU ACCEPT THIS ABSOLUTE MADNESS?

WAKE UP and say NO NO NO. Join us on Saturday 30th May at 12pm across Australia. WAKE UP AUSTRALIA. YOU ARE CONNECTED. THEY STAY WHILE YOU. THEY GIVE YOU BRAIN WASH. And what's worse is that this fake Covid19 disease has been defined as "flu-like symptoms" and therefore this FALSE COVID19 will be with us FOREVER. WE WILL LOSE ALL OUR RIGHTS FOREVER.

IT'S THE BIGGEST CRAP LOAD EVER. IF IT WAS NOT SO SHOCK IT WOULD BE ALL JUST A TOTAL MASSAGE. IT IS THE GREATEST SATANIC EVIL SPREADED BY AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENTS AND IDIOTS AUSTRALIAN MEDIA ALL BY ORDER OF THE NWO, BIG PHARMA, THE ANTICHRIST DOORS AND VACCINE MANUFACTURERS THAT CONTROL WHO, 'THE WORLD HELL ORGANIZATION' acting Department of Distribution Vaccines ..

There is no "pandemic". There is no "Covid19". It's all a Big Pharma marketing spin. A source of disease must overcome Koch's postulates. SARS-CoV2 doesn't come close. The "Covid19" RT-PCR test is false. The figures on the death of "Covid19" are completely false, stolen from old age and deaths from comorbidities. There is no increase in death anywhere on the planet. Just a shocking hypnotic satanic shock. WAKE UP. ALL WAKE UP.

The latest NON-CONTROVERSE evidence of this shocking FRAUD is that global death statistics in the world have not increased and in fact have decreased, eg. in the United States during this fraudulent panic. Statistics on death from old age and other comorbid diseases have been blatantly used to bolster the fraudulent numbers of Covid19 deaths. THIS WHOLE DEMIC OF PANIC IS A TOTAL COUNTER FROM BEGINNING TO FINISH FOR GLOBAL FASCIST SATANIC CONTROL, MANIPULATION, FEAR, ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION, AND MANDATORY VACCINATION.

STAND UP AUSTRALIA AND SAY NO, NO, NO. AND ON MAY 1, THE MANDATORY FLU VACCINATION ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA

These government idiots don't realize that aside from shocking death, poisoning, side effects and the ineffectiveness of the flu shot in particular, a vaccinated person spreads SEVEN TIMES more flu "viruses" than a person. not vaccinated. For some real facts about flu vaccines visit https://bit.ly/2zFElJb https://bit.ly/35aj1XI

LET SOMETHING BE INJECTED INTO YOUR BODY THAT CAUSES:

Febrile respiratory disease, asthma, multiple sclerosis, chronic arthritis, arthralgia; myalgia, polyneuritis, encephalitis, encephalopathy, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, febrile convulsions; aphebrile seizures or convulsions, ataxia, polyneuritis, polyneuropathy, ocular paralysis, paraesthesia diabetes, anaphylactic shock and anaphylactoid reactions angioneurotic edema, autoimmune diseases, austism, severe eye infections or loss of vision, severe rash, encephalitis (severe brain reaction), which can lead to permanent brain damage, Severe infection starting at the vaccination site, Death, Hypersensitivity, Panniculitis; atypical measles; temperature; syncope; headache; dizziness; malaise; irritability, Vasculitis, Pancreatitis; diarrhea; He retched; mumps, nausea, thrombocytopenia, purpura, regional lymphadenopathy, leukocytosis, aseptic meningitis.

This is a partial list of MMR vaccine side effects.

LISTEN TO THE IDIOTIC AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT

THIS PANIC DEMIC IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. There is another program, World Fascist Control. Compulsory vaccination. The test is false, the SARSCoV2 is a smokescreen, the death numbers are false. And even with their false death numbers, millions of people are NOT dying. There is no pandemic. WAKE UP AUSTRALIA

SEE YOU ON SATURDAY MAY 30 AT 12 PM. BE THERE OR PREPARE TO LOSE YOUR AND YOUR CHILDREN'S LEGAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS FOREVER.

Please spread the Word.

Donald J. Trump: On the Threshold of Greatness

By Daniel Davies

Despite the many ways in which he’s reviled today, I believe that history will record Trump as one of America’s greatest presidents. Looking at America’s most admired presidents, I was able to identify the four criteria needed to earn that accolade:

• First and foremost, the president led the country through a life and death struggle. 

• Second, the president suffered intense defamation, attack, pernicious plots, and even demonization both domestic and foreign but prevailed.

• Third, the president defended and supported our Republic’s foundational documents and institutions: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, including all Amendments, especially the Bill of Rights.

• Fourth, he supported American liberty, prosperity, and social welfare. All the greats promoted the actualization of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights during their presidencies.

Four presidents have met all those criteria: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan. One president, Donald Trump, is on the threshold of meeting those criteria. His place is reserved at Mt. Rushmore and history will tell if he is successful. If he is not successful, our nation may perish in the face of the life and death struggle we are now in.

Donald Trump entered the office of the president in 2016 facing a life and death struggle. The previous administration had eviscerated the US military, created an unhealthy alliance with Iran, taken a stand against Israel, failed to take the ISIS caliphate seriously, and presided over a weakening NATO alliance in which member states failed to contribute to the mutual defense. In addition, both Iran and North Korea openly developed nuclear weapons and North Korea threatened an attack on the USA. The United States economy, still not recovered from the recession triggered by the 9/11/2001 attacks, suffered from unequal trade agreements and suffocating government regulations. Race war threatened to break out in a hyper divided nation. The USA also maintained a co-dependent relationship with China, enabling its campaign of total war against the USA in their quest to become the world’s only superpower.

As serious as all those challenges were, the most serious challenge came from within the USA (the second criterion). The previous administration colluded with the DOJ, CIA, FBI, and the federal court system. In addition, corporate media colluded with the administration. The previous administration’s executives entered into corrupt relationships with China, Russia, and Ukraine in return for money.

Despite the constant attack from domestic forces, especially the deep state media, deep state politicians, deep state executive branch departments which falsely accused Trump of racist policies, immorality, graft, collusion with Russia, fascist policies, poor health, and insanity, President Trump presided over the most successful presidency in history, thereby meeting the third and fourth criteria. He

• defused the North Korean and Iranian nuclear threats,

• completely defeated the ISIS caliphate,

• concluded the wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan,

• renegotiated trade agreements,

• strengthened NATO,

• brought energy independence to the USA,

• presided over the strongest economic recovery in history, especially for minorities,

• husbanded historic stock market highs,

• freed businesses from strangling regulations,

• advanced religious liberty,

• protected freedom of speech,

• thwarted illegal immigration,

• rebuilt the military,

• kept the promise to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,

• brokered peace treaties between Israel and former enemies,

• protected the rights of the unborn,

• protected Second Amendment rights,

• advanced health insurance reforms, and

• reformed the VA hospital system.

President Trump nearly single-handedly brought the USA back as the world leader. We were prosperous, at peace, and growing in national unity. All in the face of the most vicious and hostile attacks domestic and foreign.

Donald Trump’s election caught the ruling party by surprise. They had counted on manipulating the 2016 election to maintain control of the government. When that failed, the Deep State launched an all-out effort to remove Donald Trump from office by any means possible. The Deep State (including the CIA, DOJ, FBI, Congress, media including social media, and state governments loyal to the administration) colluded to remove Donald Trump from office through impeachment. When those efforts failed, the Deep State, led by the previous administration behind the scenes, ramped up its program to steal the election of 2020. 

In January 2020, both the first and second metrics reappeared (great national crisis; extreme attacks against the president). China unleashed a weapons-grade, biologically engineered virus on the world, the so-called COVID-19 virus. President Trump took quick action to thwart the attack by banning Chinese from traveling to the USA, providing care for the sick, and developing preventatives as well as vaccines. The Deep State immediately seized the opportunity to use the pandemic to consolidate control of the government (federal and state) and to damage President Trump politically.

The pandemic worked perfectly into their plan to steal the election from President Trump. They learned from the campaign of 2016 that they could not defeat President Trump in a fair election because most Americans rejected the Deep State’s anti-American values.

The Deep State’s plans to rig the election got aid from billions of dollars from social media giants and anti-American agents. They manipulated state governments through courts to permit unmonitored mail-in ballots, bypassing the state legislatures in key swing states. Through that and other types of fraud, the Deep State engineered a stolen election.

On January 6, 2021, when Congress convened to accept the electors’ votes for president and vice president, between 500,000 to 1 million Americans assembled in Washington D.C. to protest the stolen election and oppose Congress’s acceptance of electors. Despite overwhelming proof of election fraud, the swing states ramrodded through electors supporting the Deep State’s candidates. State and federal courts refused to review the evidence to delegitimize the election. Members of both political parties voted to accept the sham electors. The people who gave President Trump a landslide victory felt betrayed.

The Deep State, working hand in glove with domestic terrorists, co-opted a huge, peaceful protest into a small assault on the Capitol buildings. The Deep State media (included social media), through prearranged statements, immediately characterized the protest as an “insurrection” that President Trump engineered. The media censored any view to the opposite and sought to shut down all free speech.

This is a life and death threat to the Republic unlike the life and death threats faced by other great presidents. This is an attack on American institutions and values from within and without. If President Trump can save the country from this attack, he will take his place in Mr. Rushmore. I believe that he will.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 3, 2021

Heather Cox Richardson

We’re in this weird eddy where Republicans are trying to cling to past politics to gain advantage and the Biden administration is trying to move forward. On top of this struggle are stories about how the previous administration pushed the boundaries of our laws or, worse, broke them.

Yesterday, two Republican governors, Greg Abbott of Texas and Tate Reeves of Mississippi, ended the mask mandates and other coronavirus restrictions for their states. So far today, the Johns Hopkins University tracker has reported 88,611 new cases and 2,189 new deaths. The numbers are dropping, but they are still wildly high compared to other nations. Texas and Mississippi are both in the top ten states in terms of deaths per capita.

It is hard not to see the reopening of Republican-led states as a deliberate affront to President Joe Biden, who asked for a 100-day mask mandate and who has sped up vaccine production to end the pandemic before new variants throw us back into a crisis. The Biden administration has tried to take politics out of the national response to the coronavirus, and made it a point to respond quickly to the crisis in Texas two weeks ago, when the unregulated Texas energy system froze. Health officials worry that a rush to reopen will undo all the progress we have made against the virus, and they are begging Texas and Mississippi to reconsider.

Nonetheless, Abbott has reopened his state and today tweeted: “The Biden Administration is recklessly releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants who have COVID into Texas communities. The Biden Admin[istration] must IMMEDIATELY end this callous act that exposes Texans & Americans to COVID.”

While Abbott is mired in past politics, the Biden administration today laid out a new approach to foreign affairs. Shortly before the White House released a paper explaining its national security policies, Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a speech reiterating the administration’s belief that the world needs American leadership and engagement to help create order, and that countries must cooperate with each other.

Blinken promised to stop Covid-19 both at home and abroad, and to invest in global health security. He said we would address the economic crisis and the climate crisis and create a more stable, inclusive global economy. We will “renew democracy,” he said, “because it’s under threat.” Blinken promised to “incentivize democratic behavior” overseas without “costly military interventions or attempting to overthrow authoritarian regimes by force.”

Blinken identified China as the greatest modern rival of the United States and promised to “engage China from a position of strength,” working with allies to counter that nation’s rising power through diplomacy.

The Secretary of State emphasized again how the Biden administration sees domestic and foreign issues as complementary. “Beating COVID means vaccinating people at home and abroad,” he said. “Winning in the global economy means making the right investments at home and pushing back against unfair trading practices by China and others. Dealing with climate change means investing in resilience and green energy here at home and leading a global effort to reduce carbon pollution.”

“[D]istinctions between domestic and foreign policy have simply fallen away,” Blinken said. “Our domestic renewal and our strength in the world are completely entwined.”

Biden’s paper was even clearer, noting that we are at an inflection point that will determine whether democracy will fall to autocracy. “I firmly believe that democracy holds the key to freedom, prosperity, peace, and dignity,” he wrote. “We must now demonstrate — with a clarity that dispels any doubt — that democracy can still deliver for our people and for people around the world. We must prove that our model isn’t a relic of history; it’s the single best way to realize the promise of our future.”

Meanwhile, stories continue to break about the previous administration.

Tonight, we learned that the Department of Justice under Trump loyalist Attorney General William Barr refused to investigate or prosecute Trump’s Secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao, even after that department’s inspector general asked for a review of what it said was a misuse of her office. The inspector general found repeated instances of Chao using her office to benefit the Chao family company, Foremost Group, a shipping company run by Chao’s sister. Chao is married to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Also, today, the inspector general for the Department of Defense issued a review of Representative Ronny Jackson, who was Trump’s White House physician before he was elected to Congress from Texas in 2020. The review says he has an explosive temper, made “sexual and denigrating” comments about a woman who was his subordinate, created a hostile work environment, and drank alcohol and took Ambien while on duty. The inspector general recommended that the Navy take “appropriate action” with regard to the retired officer. Jackson said, “Democrats are using this report to repeat and rehash untrue attacks on my integrity.”

Today’s biggest story about the previous administration, though, came from the Senate hearings about the January 6, 2021, attack, held before the committee of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the committee on Rules and Administration. While there is still confusion about what happened when, it became clear that there were some serious lapses in the protection of the Capitol, and it appears those lapses originated with Trump appointees in the Pentagon.

Because the District of Columbia is not a state, its National Guard is under the control of the Defense Department, and it is overseen by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy. The Commander of the D.C. National Guard, Major General William Walker, told the Senate that, in response to a request from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the director of D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, Dr. Christopher Rodriguez, Walker requested approval for the mission from McCarthy on January 1.

McCarthy’s approval did not come until January 5, when the event was already upon them. And, in what Walker saw as an unusual move, McCarthy withheld approval for Walker to deploy the Quick Reaction Force, guardsmen equipped with helmets, shields, batons, and so on, to respond to civil disturbance, without the approval of the Secretary of Defense.

Then, at 1:49 pm on January 6, then Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, Steven Sund, called Walker to say that the Capitol had been breached. “Chief Sund, his voice cracking with emotion, indicated that there was a dire emergency on Capitol Hill and requested the immediate assistance of as many guardsmen as I could muster,” Walker told the Senate. Walker immediately called the Pentagon for approval to move in his troops, but officials there did not give the go-ahead for 3 hours and 19 minutes. Once allowed in, the National Guard troops deployed in 20 minutes. But by then, of course, plenty of damage had been done.

The delay in deployment stood in dramatic contrast to the approval accorded to the National Guard to deploy in June 2020. Today’s testimony suggests that the Pentagon placed unprecedented restrictions on the mobilization of the National Guard on January 6, preventing it from responding to the crisis at the Capitol in a timely fashion.

The House will not meet tomorrow out of fears that militants will attack the Capitol again, expecting that March 4 will see former president Donald Trump sworn in for a second term.
