CLN Editor Word:

Along with making it clear that warfare, genocide, and militarism are all nonetheless on the high of the U.S. agenda (see the article beneath), President Biden made a deceptive declare – saying that “the vaccines that saved us from COVID are actually getting used to beat most cancers” (watch HERE), which was echoed by former President Trump on Reality Social:

“The Pandemic not controls our lives. The Vaccines that saved us from COVID are actually getting used to assist beat Most cancers – Turning setback into comeback!” YOU’RE WELCOME, JOE, NINE MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU!” ~ Donald J. Trump

It is arduous to consider that Trump continues to be bragging concerning the velocity through which he delivered an inadequately examined bioweapon to the world.

Truth checkers had been swift to level out that neither Biden nor Trump appear to know the idea that it’s the vaccine’s supply system, not the vaccine itself, that’s into account for different types of therapies. This false data may lead people to hunt extra boosters underneath the mistaken perception that the COVID-19 vaccine can fight most cancers, opposite to the precise proof. Dr. Peter McCullough highlighted the emergence of a brand new type of “turbo most cancers” post-vaccine rollout, attributing it to DNA contaminants within the photographs which can be acknowledged carcinogens.

Each President Biden and former president Trump try to take credit score for a vaccine that has precipitated a public well being catastrophe and value an estimated 17 million extra deaths worldwide, in line with Correlation, a nonprofit analysis group. Massive Pharma, as OpenSecrets informs us, has donated considerably to each institution events.

 RFK Jr.: How I See The State Of Our Union

Biden’s State of the Union: Battle and Genocide Are Nonetheless “The American Manner”

By Melissa Garriga | International Analysis

From Gaza to Ukraine, from the Center East to the borders of our personal nation, the toll of violence from militarism is immeasurable. Will we ever see an finish to the cycle of destruction fueled by capitalism and U.S. imperialism?

Firstly, let’s handle the white elephant within the warfare.

Earlier than Biden’s State of the Union speech began, Democratic ladies leaders had been proven carrying white in honor of girls and feminism.

However let’s be very clear, whether or not it’s ladies sending bombs or males, the end result stays the identical: ladies and youngsters are being murdered, communities shattered, and futures erased.

There’s no feminism in complicity with warfare and genocide, neither is there honor in turning a blind eye to the cries of the oppressed who’re very loudly asking us to stop sending the bombs which can be murdering their folks.

Biden began the speech with an attraction for extra money to fund the Battle in Ukraine. But within the two years since Russia invaded Ukraine with over 100 billion {dollars} spent and numerous lives misplaced Ukrainians are not any nearer to peace. Peace can’t be discovered within the countless navy packages however within the corridors of diplomacy and peace talks, the place dialogue and negotiation pave the best way for lasting options.

He then moved on to taunt the necessity to defend democracy but the White Home and Congress constantly ignore nearly all of the nation who need a direct ceasefire in Gaza, particularly Biden’s personal voter base. A real democracy occurs not simply on the poll field however past it. But, Biden chooses to disregard the very individuals who put him in workplace.

Together with “defending democracy,” Biden additionally vowed to guard the atmosphere. Nevertheless, the contribution to militarism can’t be ignored. The U.S. navy ranks as one of many largest customers of oil globally, contributing considerably to greenhouse fuel emissions. As a substitute of investing in renewable vitality and supporting a simply transition, valuable assets are squandered to warfare and conflicts that ravage the planet and speed up local weather change.

President Biden’s assist for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and occupation of Palestine is a stain on the ethical cloth of our nation. And he leaned into that assist in his handle. Utilizing lies and unsubstantiated claims he tried to legitimize Israel’s genocidal response to Oct. 7. Nevertheless irrespective of how he tries to spin it – the dying and destruction that harmless persons are enduring each day, principally ladies and youngsters, can’t be justified within the identify of political alliances or strategic pursuits. Nothing, completely justifies genocide and ethnic cleaning.

Biden’s newest response to Israel’s numerous warfare crimes is to construct a “short-term” port off the shores of Gaza to permit for humanitarian assist to enter the besieged land. However a brief port does nothing to cease the everlasting dying and destruction from U.S. made bombs. It’s time to halt the stream of weapons to Israel or stop pretending to care concerning the lives of Palestinians.

Biden made it clear that warfare, genocide, and militarism are all nonetheless on high of the U.S. agenda. This can value us all dearly. He should heed the calls for of the general public: cease the bombs, cease the militarization of our borders, cease the inhumane blockades which can be ravenous folks to dying. The media will paint Biden’s speech as robust and optimistic however make no mistake – a  nation that depends on the dying and destruction of others is a weak one. We desperately want leaders who will prioritize diplomacy over destruction, compassion over battle, and humanity over hubris. Solely then can we actually declare to be a nation dedicated to justice, equality, and the pursuit of peace for all. Till then, we are going to proceed to be a rustic dedicated to warfare and genocide and by no means discover lasting peace.
