The COVID Scamdemic and its link to 'Scientism'
According to these data, there are 20 million people still recovering from COVID. What's the betting the vast majority of those were not vaccinated? All I see on this thread are daft opinions, no facts or data. Anti-science, poorly educated. -

Louis Theroux: The Settlers
AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, exerts considerable influence on US government policies regarding Israel through lobbying, political donations, and public outreach. It actively works to shape bipartisan support for Israel within Congress and among the general public, advocating for policies that strengthen the US-Israel relationship. Key ways AIPAC influences the US government: Lobbying: AIPAC directly lobbies members of Congress and the White House to push for pro-Israel policies. Political Donations: AIPAC contributes financially to campaigns of US lawmakers who support its goals, helping to elect and maintain pro-Israel officials. Public Outreach: AIPAC disseminates information to the public and Congress to foster support for Israel, often through carefully curated trips to Israel for lawmakers and other opinion leaders. Influencing Elections: AIPAC has been known to fund primary campaigns against politicians viewed as critical of Israel, aiming to remove them from office. Cultivating Student Leaders: AIPAC engages with college students to build a stronger pro-Israel movement among them. Matching Members with Lawmakers: AIPAC connects its members with members of Congress who share their pro-Israel views. Examples of AIPAC's influence: Military Aid: AIPAC has been instrumental in securing large amounts of US military aid for Israel, often exceeding billions of dollars annually. Congressional Resolutions: AIPAC has a history of mobilizing Congress to sign letters and resolutions supporting Israeli policies, even during periods of conflict. Electoral Outcomes: AIPAC's financial backing and influence have been linked to the election and reelection of pro-Israel politicians. Criticisms of AIPAC: Unconditional Support: Some critics argue that AIPAC's influence leads to a lack of critical examination of Israeli policies and actions. Dominance in Washington: There are concerns that AIPAC's influence has become overly dominant, potentially undermining other voices and perspectives on US foreign policy. Disinformation: Some accuse AIPAC of peddling a biased and sometimes false image of Israel to the public. In summary: AIPAC is a powerful lobbying group that exerts a significant influence on US government policies regarding Israel, particularly through lobbying, political donations, and public outreach. While it advocates for bipartisan support for Israel, its influence has also faced criticism for potentially hindering a balanced examination of Israeli policies and actions. -

Report Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
I recall that an ex servicemen group in Australia did this about 25 years ago. My dad was a member of the group and their court challenge failed. What made it a real "slap in the face" was that OZ originally was a British colony, was still part of the Commonwealth, had HM Queen Liz as their ruler and used the British political and legal system. British pensions are still frozen there after all these years! -
