Reiner Braun IPB: We want to open a discussion on what ‘build back better’ means for peace and to develop support from the international peace movement for a very important discussion of worldwide transition.
Thoughts for a better world.
“Peace is not everything, but everything is nothing without peace.”
This sentence from the Nobel Peace Laureate Willy Brandt remains extremely relevant, above all in the midst of the Coronavirus crisis.
Kishore Mahbubani Dec 12, 2023: It is true that on Ukraine, the US, at least, has shown geopolitical cunning rather than incompetence, creating European dependence on Washington at a time when the Americans want to rally support for applying greater pressure on China. Yet the US may come to find that these geopolitical dividends turn out to be temporary. Russia could still collapse under combined western pressure, although this seems increasingly unlikely. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s president, may have to accept a painful compromise. And if that is the outcome, the non-western countries will ask, ‘What was the point of it all?’
The massive amounts of aid sent to Ukraine only confirmed the growing belief in the global south that the west doesn’t really care for it. Significantly, the Russian invasion took place while memories were still fresh of the Covid pandemic, during which the global south saw a surplus of vaccines in the west that was not shared with them.
Most haunting of all for governments in that region is the possibility that Trump could return to power. And if he does it will be a nastier and angrier Trump who will tear up the climate accords again, ignore the UN and use American power to bully other countries bilaterally.
Even with the best social science tools at its disposal, the American establishment still can’t figure out the sources of the anger that is leading so many Americans to vote for Trump. A bitterly divided society can no longer serve as the “shining city on the hill” for the rest of the world.
All of which is to say that something profound is happening in the world — a kind of metaphysical detachment of the west from the rest.
Last year, a government commission wanted the US to adopt AI-driven mass surveillance. Now, its happeing under a guise of combating the coronavirus crisis. An article by Whitney Webb 2020.
Introduit en France voici une quinzaine d’années, le thème du « care » a pris une ampleur significative dans les instances universitaires et de recherche en sciences sociales. Le mot soin en français ne rend que partiellement compte du champ sémantique du mot anglais, nettement plus vaste. Mais l’extension du care varie selon les auteurs.
Una revisión sistemática exhaustiva de todas las evidencias disponibles de ensayos controlados aleatorizados sobre vacunas contra la covid-19 hasta noviembre de 2021 ha concluido que la mayoría protegen contra la infección y la enfermedad grave o crítica causada por el virus. La revisión, una colaboración de expertos independientes de varios países, también observó que hubo poca o ninguna diferencia entre el número de personas que experimentaban efectos secundarios graves después de la vacunación en comparación con las que no estaban vacunadas.

I’ve written and said a lot about the TOGETHER trial, in an effort to share the knowledge I’ve been gathering. This page contains links to articles & podcasts I have made, in this Substack and elsewhere. Before we dive in, if you’re looking for a good starting point, this is probably it:
Ein Stiftungsprofessor für Anthroposophische Medizin berichtet neue Daten – und Journalisten verbreiten seine Ergebnisse kritiklos. Was ist dran an der Sache?
Una revisión sistemática sobre 46 estudios confirma que la miocarditis por vacuna es más común en jóvenes, varones, luego de la segunda dosis.
Esto sugiere que en el caso de vacunar debiera elegirse otras plataformas si están disponibles, o bien no dar la vacuna de Moderna, además de prolongar el rango interdosis a 56 días.
Los estudios primarios se consideran de baja calidad por ser observacionales, pero son consistentes y establecen un gradiente dosis y aparición del efecto lo que es indicio de causalidad.

Pitkäkestoista COVID-19 -tautia tutkitaan kiivaasti. Neurologian professori Risto O. Roineen mukaan parin kuukauden kuluessa selviää, paljonko omikronmuunnos aiheuttaa pitkäkestoisia oireita.
Risto O. Roineen mukaan uusimmissa, laajoissa seurantatutkimuksissa on selvinnyt, että pitkäkestoisia oireita on noin joka toisella koronan sairastaneista aikuisista.
Omikronista tietoa ei vielä tässä vaiheessa ole – toistaiseksi ei Roineen mukaan ole näyttöä siitä, että se aiheuttaisi aiempia muunnoksia vähemmän pitkäkestoisia oireita.
Yhdysvaltain tartuntatautiviraston, CDC:n määritelmän (siirryt toiseen palveluun) mukaan pitkäkestoisen koronataudin keskeisiä oireita ovat muun muassa hengitysvaikeudet, uupumus, fyysisen tai kognitiivisen rasituksen alentunut sietokyky sekä keskittymisvaikeus, niin kutsuttu aivosumu

The now retracted paper halted hydroxychloroquine trials. Studies like this determine how people live or die tomorrow
The Lancet has made one of the biggest retractions in modern history. How could this happen?

The “Feminist plan” maps the ambitious and transformative policies—on livelihoods, care, and the environment—that are needed to build a more equal and sustainable future. To get there, it calls for context-specific policy pathways, tailored political strategies, and financing. The plan identifies key levers that can create change and the actors at global, national, and local levels that need to take action to move towards this vision.
- Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists , By Nicholas Wade | May 5, 2021 If the case that SARS2 originated in a lab is so substantial, why isn’t this more widely known? As is now obvious, there are many people who have reason not to talk about it.
"To my knowledge, no major newspaper or television network has yet provided readers with an in-depth news story of the lab escape scenario, such as the one you have just read, although some have run brief editorials or opinion pieces."
The origins of the Covid-19 pandemic remain obscure. The reasons include a vigorous campaign of concealment by the Chinese authorities and missteps by senior medical research officials in the United Kingdom and United States who mishandled the initial inquiry into the virus’s origins.
