An excellent independent news report from WION points out the extortion Pfizer is conducting in order to leverage their own financial interests in various countries around the globe.  As outlined in the expose’,  The U.S. pharma company is asking for military bases and sovereign assets as guarantee for vaccines delivery.

We have noted how the U.S. government has moved to merge ideological interests with Big Tech to control information.  In this report about Pfizer,  you see the same merging of government and the pharmaceutical industry to advance their collective interests.  There is a word for government and corporations working together to control society…

BIG PICTURE – While the specifics of this report focus on multinational corporation Pfizer and the control over the COVID vaccine, it is worth remembering the same type of influence operation happens in other industries.  That is an outcome of the world being driven by government and multinational corporations working together.

What Big Pharma is to global medicines, specifically vaccines, Big Agriculture is to global food production, in every sector.

What Pfizer is doing to extort nations to maximize their profit, so too is Monsanto or Cargill operating on the same premise.  A lemon costs you .89 cents because they want it to cost you .89 cents; not because a ‘free market’ prices it at .89 cents.   The multinationals have long passed the place where ‘free markets’ exist.  Everything is now a controlled market.  {Go Deep}

As our nation mourns the loss of 13 U.S. military and dozens wounded in the Kabul airport attack, the White House sends Circle Backs to the podium to obfuscate their responsibility.  The effort is scheduled to begin at 1:45pm ET

Joe Biden claims the buck stops with him, but he’d rather pin the blame on circumstances, the Afghan people, and especially President Trump.

Biden now has blood on his hands. His blundering has caused the death of many. He has disgraced our nation. He has left billions of dollars worth of military equipment to our enemies and now he has provided the Taliban with a list of Americans he intends to leave behind. Biden is a traitor. Not only should he resign in disgrace, he needs to face a military tribunal.

The buck should never have been passed to Joe because he’s a counterfeit president.

History indeed repeats. In Europe, they demand that the “unvaccinated” wear masks to identify themselves, just as the Jews were forced to wear yellow stars to identify themselves in society. Interestingly, there were Jews in Germany who saw the threats and set sail for America. I was told many years ago that other Jews thought they were crazy. To put it in today’s terminology, they were conspiracy theorists. The lies about everything to create this lockdown to crush the economy so they can Build Back Better are gradually surfacing. Hopefully, the majority will wake up and see that they have been played for the fool. The conspiracy theorists of the 1930s in Germany were correct. Little by little, the “conspiracy theorists” today will also be correct.

Yet, the vaccinated are now still vulnerable to getting and spreading COVID-19. When will the lie be exposed? How much longer? The computer shows the collapse in public confidence, which is becoming obvious. They should have listened to Lincoln who said it is “better to remain silent and be thought a fool” than to speak and to remove all doubt. World leaders have spoken and are clearly fools if they actually believed COVID could be eradicated with lockdowns and vaccines.

The collapse in confidence in government also means that you then do not buy their debt at artificially low interest rates. That means the financial system is unsustainable, which is why they are pushing digital currencies to enforce all taxes. At some point, even the fool who they see as the public awakens.

As one reader wrote:

Marty,Despite many believing the government line about the sponsored “vaccines”, could it be it is the vaccine that proves to be their undoing? Yes, Big Tech is suppressing any negative reports but still leaks are happening calling into question the safety of these experimental treatments. If all these variants of covid now spreading to those already vaccinated show they, too, are vulnerable, it seems at some point even the “faithful” lose heart. When added to those who have rejected these experiments, it lines up with the notion the vaccines will ultimately be rejected down the road. Countries like India, which has relief on ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin, with great success, also work to undermine the “party line”. Western leaders have gone “all in” on vaccines, using the Green pass, requiring vaccines as the key discriminator to reentry into society. What happens when this breaks down? Not if, but when?If the perception is the vaccine campaign was one big scam, then this will be the primary cause of the Great Reset. Forcing those to get the vaccine, when the vaccine itself is dubious, shows the vaccine is their weapon, which is now malfunctioning. I think these experimental vaccines are one of two bad reports away from triggering revulsion…that will be seen as the key turning point in this fake virus scare campaign.MS

There are two puzzle pieces that help to make sense of the Politico report about “U.S. Officials” giving the Taliban a list of American and U.S. Afghan names to allow through the checkpoints. {GO DEEP 1 and GO DEEP 2}  However, if you don’t understand the two dueling power teams -each attempting to position- it doesn’t make sense.

Remember, the State Dept (DoS) and CIA are one team.  The White House and Pentagon are another team.

♦ TEAM One – The Department of State is aligned with the CIA.  Their media PR firms are CNN, CNNi and the Washington Post. Their ideology is favorable to the United Nations.  Their internal corruption is generally driven by relationship with foreign actors.  References: Hillary Clinton, Clinton Global Initiative, John McCain, Qatar, Muslim Brotherhood, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Cass Sunstein, Brookings Institute, Lawfare, China-centric, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Council on Foreign Relations.

♦ TEAM Two – The White House is aligned with the Pentagon (DoD) and National Security Council (NSC).  Their media PR firms are domestic in nature. New York Times, Politico, etc.  Their internal corruption is generally driven by domestic influence.  References: Barack Obama, George Bush, Wall St, Big Banks, Multinational Corporations, Defense Contractors, FBI (state police), Judicial Branch, and community activists writ large.

Both teams are highly political. However, the State Dept/CIA team consider themselves above political changes; essentially the deeper Deep State.

With the DoS/CIA aligned with CNN/WaPo, when the Pentagon needs to defend their specific interests in crisis management, they must go elsewhere, hence Politico.

From the Politico Article:

“U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.”

The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.

[…]  But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.

“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.” (more)

So it’s fair to say the aggrieved party is the Pentagon in this scenario…. which aligns with Politico receiving the information from the military perspective.

Applying the dynamic of interests from the previous history between the teams, it would appear the State Dept. and CIA gave the Taliban the list.

Indeed, the quick dispatch of the problem of stranded Americans is a ‘toxically political’ priority issue for the State Department.  Additionally, the previous meeting between CIA Director William J Burns and the Taliban leadership now takes on a fulsome context.

It was a decision by the DoS and CIA to share the list and get the evacuation facilitated in the most expedient fashion possible.  However, from a tactical perspective it put the Pentagon, charged with Kabul airport security, in a slightly compromised position.

Both teams were responsible for the Afghanistan mess.  In the aftermath of the mess; and with the current situation in/around Kabul, each team is positioning to avoid scrutiny.  Scrutiny on either team runs the risk of identifying massive corruption; so the objective is to push the spotlight onto the other team.  State Dept. blames White House/Pentagon…. Pentagon/White House looking to avoid sunlight.

The Pentagon (arrows) is supposed to working in coordination with State (olive branch), but both institutions are corrupt regarding Afghanistan; so it’s a game of hot potato.   If the executive office wasn’t corrupt, the eagle would be having whiplash; alas, the White House was/is an active participant.  [So much for school civic ‘checks-n-balances’ eh?]

Externally, we are seeing the executive appointed heads of each faction battling for position on behalf of their institution.  The media get to pick and choose which faction they will support.  CNN will support the State Dept.   ABC, CBS, NBC will lean slightly toward the White House/Pentagon.

Modify the focus of your review of events in/around Afghanistan to see the connective tissue between CNN, the State Department and CIA [strongest institution within the Intelligence Branch].  Then keep in mind, the Senate is in alignment with, and a facilitator for, the Intelligence Branch.  As a consequence, the institution of the Senate will align with the interests of the State Department; and, by default align with the CIA, intelligence community and CNN/WaPo reporting.

The modern U.S. State Dept is an independent, bureaucratic, and massive foreign policy institution that does not accept any oversight.  They are able to accomplish their independent position by partnering with intelligence agencies.  The Dept of State use the U.S. Intelligence Branch as a weapon against any individual or entity who would attempt oversight.

The deepest, swampiest part of the Deep State is protecting its interests against the outcome of a crisis in Afghanistan they collectively created.  The picture has now emerged of their plan to blame the White House, and by extension Joe Biden along with the Pentagon.

The U.S. Supreme Court has again overturned the national eviction moratorium imposed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  In a 6-3 ruling [pdf HERE] the court has rejected arguments that the CDC is permitted to arbitrarily enforce an eviction moratorium.  The high court notes such a government mandate would have to come from the U.S. Congress, not an unelected bureaucratic agency.

This is the second time the eviction moratorium has reached the Supreme Court this year.  In June, the court allowed the prior version of the moratorium to remain in place through July.  However, on August 3rd the CDC arbitrarily renewed it for two months.  This time the court halts it.  “It strains credulity to believe that this statute grants the CDC the sweeping authority that it asserts.”

From the majority ruling: “It is indisputable that the public has a strong interest in combating the spread of the COVID–19 Delta variant. But our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends. Cf. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U. S. 579, 582, 585–586 (1952) (concluding that even the Government’s belief that its action “was necessary to avert a national catastrophe” could not overcome a lack of congressional authorization). It is up to Congress, not the CDC, to decide whether the public interest merits further action here.” (link)
