We Need Open and Honest Discussion about the Pros and Cons of Vaccine Mandates, Not the Hysterical Shouting Match We Have Now
Ramsha Afridi | RT - TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Sep 2021
6 Sep 2021 – Vaccines are a medical miracle. Vaccine mandates are also a massive infringement on personal choice. We need a proper and public cost benefit analysis to work out the best way forward; instead, we just have tribal yelling.

Rachel Marsden | RT - TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Sep 2021
1 Sep 2021 – The public has caught on to the use of fear to shape opinion in support of costly wars that give free license for control under the guise of security. But now it’s falling for the same illusion from the medical-industrial complex.

Is Billionaire Philanthropy a Sham?
Robert Reich – TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Sep 2021
31 Aug 2021 – Remember when Jeff Bezos was showered with praise for donating $100 million to food banks last year? That may seem like a lot, and it is. But once you consider all that Bezos has raked in during the pandemic – including making $13 billion in a single day in 2020 – it’s a few hours of his earnings.

US and UN Treachery in the African Great Lakes Region: Why Rwandan Refugees Don’t Want to Go Home
Ann Garrison | Black Agenda Report – TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Sep 2021
8 Sep 2021 – The term “United Nations” in front of the UN’s various humanitarian agencies is deceptive. It implies that they’re funded by the UN’s general budget and therefore are politically neutral but the UN High Commission for Refugees, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and the UN High Commission for Human Rights are all donor dependent, primarily on the EU and other European nations, who look out for their interests and those of the US.

Are We Human? Are We Free? Defeating the World Economic Forum’s ‘Great Reset’ before It Destroys Us
Robert J. Burrowes, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Sep 2021
For most people, 2020 will be remembered as the year of the ‘virus’ and 2021 will be remembered as the year of the ‘vaccine’. What most people will probably never know is that 2021 is shaping to be the year in which humanity and freedom are both destroyed. If you wish to play a vital role in their defence, you are invited to undertake the actions indicated on these flyers, and share them with those who you think might be interested.

AFRICOM in the Congo
Kambale Musavuli | Black Agenda Report - TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Sep 2021
1 Sep 2021 – The US military has operated in the Congo for a long time doing covert operations in South Sudan and Central African Republic. Their current engagement is not covert and highly arrogant after being the military that has trained Rwanda and Uganda, which invaded the Congo twice killing over 6 million people. AFRICOM arrived in the Congo ostensibly to fight ISIS; we can be sure they will do more to support the US looting of the Congo’s wealth than stopping terrorism.

Maitreya Bhakal | RT - TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Sep 2021
31 Aug 2021 – The US is desperate to recruit allies in its hybrid war against China, and highly covets New Delhi – which has its own issues with Beijing – as a useful partner. So why is Washington so unhelpful and discourteous to its ally?

2 Things Mainstream Media Didn’t Tell You about FDA’s Approval of Pfizer Vaccine
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr and Meryl Nass, M.D. | Children’s Health Defense – TRANSCEND Media Service,
30 Aug 2021
24 Aug 2021 – Buried in the fine print of yesterday’s approval by the U.S. FDA of the Pfizer Comirnaty COVID vaccine are two critical facts that affect whether the vaccine can be mandated, and whether Pfizer can be held liable for injuries. The FDA is playing bait and switch with the American public. If it doesn’t say Comirnaty, you have not been offered an approved vaccine.

U.S. Deploys Marines to Haiti under Guise of ‘Disaster Relief’
Patrick MacFarlane | The Libertarian Institute - TRANSCEND Media Service,
30 Aug 2021
25 Aug 2021 – The devastation of the 7.2 earthquake on 21 Aug has provided U.S. leaders the cloak of humanitarian aid to deploy Marines to Haiti. Sadly, as the next few weeks play out, the U.S. Military and international NGOs will likely repeat the “Fatal Assistance” of 2010. Regardless, the Haitian people must be given the respect and dignity to control their own destiny. Haitians and non-interventionists everywhere must insist on it.

As Kabul Is Retaken, Papers Look Back in Erasure
Gregory Shupak | FAIR-Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting - TRANSCEND Media Service,
23 Aug 2021
19 Aug 2021 – Corporate media coverage of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan offered more mystification than illumination. I looked at editorials in five major US dailies: the Boston Globe, LA Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. Their editorial boards consistently trivialized South Asian lives, erased US responsibility for lethal violence, and made untenable assertions about Washington’s supposedly righteous motives in the war.

23 Aug 2021
Apple is planning to build a backdoor into its data storage and messaging systems. Apple’s compromise on end-to-end encryption may appease government agencies in the U.S. and abroad, but it is a shocking about-face for users who have relied on the company’s leadership in privacy and security.

And So It Begins Again: The Media Recycles Afghanistan War Lies
Patrick Martin | WSWS - TRANSCEND Media Service,
23 Aug 2021
20 Aug 2021 – Following the desperate evacuation of US troops, the corporate press is raising concerns for the “human rights” of Afghans. For the last 20 years, the corporate media raised no objections as the USA killed over 100,000 people, set up black site torture chambers, carried out drone assassinations, robbed the country of its resources, and facilitated horrific crimes by promoting the war as a “just cause,” a necessary response to 9/11.

16 Aug 2021 – Let’s never forget that what we are watching happen right now in Afghanistan is the final act of George W. Bush‘s 2004 reelection strategy. The U.S. has been lied into too many wars. It’s cost us too much in terms of money, credibility and blood. We must remember the lies. We can’t afford to let this one go down the memory hole, too.

If You Build It, They Will Come: Apple Has Opened the Backdoor to Increased Surveillance and Censorship around the World
Kurt Opsahl | Electronic Frontier Foundation - TRANSCEND Media Service,
16 Aug 2021
11 Aug 2021 – Apple’s new program for scanning images sent on iMessage steps back from the company’s prior support for the privacy and security of encrypted messages. It has created an infrastructure that is all too easy to redirect to greater surveillance and censorship. Apple has paved the road to mandated security weakness around the world, enabling and reinforcing the arguments that, should the intentions be good enough, scanning through your personal life and private communications is acceptable.
