Leake gets more strange by the day. The Lancet along with the NEJM showed themselves to be captured by industry and political propagandists and lied about Covid therapies and complications directly causing untold suffering and deaths. WHO should know this better than Dr. McCullough. I don’t trust anything they say. I’m not commenting on the coincidence that there may be truth in their statements but they are a fraudulent journal.
Your bias toward war is a telling sign that you are completely controlled by Neocon propaganda. It's long been known that sanctions are an act of war, which never hurts the regime but always destroys the peaceful society in that regime. There are no known sanctions that have ever worked. But the population of the sanctioned country is severely damaged. Just look at Cuba, for example. Decades of sanctions have led to the people living in poverty.
Sanctions against Russia have made that country stronger. North Korea is another example.
So, whatever your opinion of a publication, sanctions are worthless. They are actually a modern tactic of an old war strategy: a siege of the city. Sieges were horrible tactics that destroyed citizens' bodies and minds. Eating one's children was a common result of food scarcity.
If you just spent a little time educating yourself instead of listening to the most horrifying people in the world, the Neocons and their self-serving propaganda, you would see the truth.
You don’t think that the Cuban government has made its people live in poverty? On the one hand you say sanctions make a country stronger. And yet makes Cubans poor. Which one? Why didn’t sanctions make Cuba stronger??
You have no idea about the concept of proximate cause, Jan. The root cause of economic problems in Cuba is decades of siege warfare waged by the U.S. As part of the imperialist machine, you are just unhappy that the Cuban government and people have not capitulated to the sanctions. In any case, it is not up to a denizen of tony digs in the Northeast US to be deciding for Cubans. Especially given the shameful record of decades of US promotion of “freedom and democracy” (war) around the world. And despite the poverty, for decades Cuba has exported competent doctors to multiple poor areas of the world.
Yes, Jan, we know how people like you prefer the transformation of an country with the highest human development index in Africa (Libya) into a terrorist hellhole with open slave markets…
I agree with what has already been mentioned. However, Cuba has been under siege for decades, and it's a tiny island, whereas Russia has had limited sanctions for shorter periods of time. Russia also has 75 trillion of hard assets, the largest in the world. Because of sanctions in Russia, the Russians have learned how to better use their own assets and come out stronger. Again proving that sanctions are worthless. The two have had completely different sanctions.
Evil regimes also kill people, but in greater numbers over many more years so to be fair sanctions have to be put into perspective;. Soviets killed 10s of millions, Chinese Communist Party regularly and quietly kills those who disagree with them: Uigers killed for their organs, Falun Gong for their beliefs, Cubans have been suffering for 47 years, El Salvadorans, Venezulans, and peoples from other South American nations have been killed by repressive regimes. And then we have Iran, where people are regularly killed if they oppose the government or are women whose Burka is not covering her well enough. And how many people have died at the hands of Iran funded terrorists over the past 10 decades? Perspective
The adverb "also" tells you all you need to know - this commenter drank the Kool Aid, took the blue pill, has a perpetual subscription to cable news and watches it religiously. The lack of self awareness of our complicity in terrorism, brutality and whimsical state murder since the 1950s is testimony to the power of our propaganda - and many American's willful ignorance. "Perspective"
You mean, the Lancet report? They have an agenda to be sure. If you are not aware of the slaughter of innocent people by their dictators, I think you need to pay attention.
health officials identified a statistically significant ischemic stroke risk tied to the Pfizer COVID-19 booster as early as November 2022—then buried it while pushing continued uptake in the elderly.
These dangerous actions of hiding serious COVID shot risks have led to serious harm to large numbers of innocent people, and accountability is absolutely imperative!
A new Senate investigation led by Sen. Ron Johnson has uncovered that Biden administration health officials identified a statistically significant ischemic stroke risk tied to the Pfizer COVID-19 booster as early as November 2022—then buried it while pushing continued uptake in the elderly .
One of the strangest quirks of human cognition is the inability of people to see evil when it is standing right in front of them, staring them in the face. We are so in the habit of believing that evil must be something occult or hidden from view that we can’t see it when it is out in the open.
Why does Attorney General Pam Bondi refuse to release ALL of the Epstein files, thereby acting in contempt of Congress? She claims she is bound NOT by the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R.4405), but by other legal constraints, such as the need to protect victim identities, avoid compromising active investigations, and adhere to pre-existing privacy laws.
Bondi proclaims her “commitment to transparency” and to "follow the law," which includes shielding sensitive material such as personal medical files and graphic depictions of child abuse.
Her statements are the most patent humbug ever uttered by the mouth of man or woman. Names of victims and their sensitive medical information could be easily redacted. The depictions of child abuse compose the EVIDENCE of precisely the crimes that We the People have an interest in seeing prosecuted.
Bondi’s assertion is akin to a prosector who claims that, in order to protect the victims of crime, he cannot show evidence of the crime to the jury. The public cannot grasp that the Attorney General of the United States would make an assertion so mind-boggling in its stupidity.
It reminds of the scene in Mel Brooks’s 1974 film, Blazing Saddles, when Sheriff Bart holds himself hostage.
Obviously Bondi is—on orders from her boss—refusing to release ALL of the files because they contain vast amounts of incriminating evidence that virtually our entire ruling class has NOT been constrained by the rules and norms that are applied to the vast majority of humanity, thereby greatly enriching itself at our expense and engaging in all manner of corrupt schemes, many of them funded by government money.
Though the public has been distracted by what President Trump calls a “short term excursion” —otherwise known as war on Iran — some investigators such as yours truly have remained focused on the Epstein files that have been released.
These remind me of the Marquis de Sade’s outrageous novel 120 Days of Sodom about a group of depraved aristocrats during the waning days of Louis XIV’s reign who are completely above the law and scrutiny. Their taste for committing acts of sadistic perversion against minors is the dramatic device of the novel, but it is only part of a much larger moral, social, and political problem that the Marquis de Sade was pointing out.
The salacious sexual conduct is an expression of general corruption, and the characters’ arrogant presumption that they can do whatever in hell they want because their lives and fortunes are NOT governed by any legal authority. Indeed, many of them hold high office in Paris and therefore are the legal authorities.
Trump has recently downplayed the importance of the Epstein files, calling the case "boring" and a "desecration" intended to distract from his administration's successes. No one except the most ecstatic votaries of Trump’s cult of personality believes such lame assurances for a second.
Bondi’s gambit is to stonewall and be sued, thereby tying up the case in court until the easily distracted public forgets about the whole thing.
Yeah USA never do that 🙄 but really who told you they were?? Gadaffi was also the worst dictator in history, Hitler too!! But Israel is oh so amazing ?? You dont imagine that maybe you have been played by the Epstein regime to be a usefull idiot??
Exactly these poverty creating sanctions might as well create a paranoid leader? Or they push people into crime !! But i know -- as they told you about Hitler -- its always the "enemys" fault -- its never something that others did right??
Most of the sanctioned countries are despotic hellholes (usually due to communism or Islam or unproductive worldviews), already dealing with or on the brink of starvation etc.
I can hardly believe you would say this, especially after all the deaths inflicted in the name of Covid, and after decades of highly toxic climate engineering which now threatens to kill the entire planet (oceans, all water and every breath, ozone layer, trees, all of nature, including us), and added microwave and EMF exposure, in excess and in spite of available harm and safety data? Also think of our vaxx and food policies. Add the many nuclear tests on our own soil, underground and in the atmosphere....Our government would never kill or poison its own people? Perhaps we are just more skilled at packaging,denying and concealing our own crimes. We are not as "good" and in a position to judge as you think. Why do you still place yourself on such a pedestal? Without condoning ANY mass murder in this world, do you think others cannot see what we are doing and how incredibly blind we are as a people?
The same Lancet that used data made up from a Pole Dancer Stripper and a SyFi writer to smear a known treatment for SARS, HydroxiChloroQuine? So FauXi and his Company ModErna could push through the Emergency Authorization for their unSafe and not Affective experimental biosynthetic modified RNA injections. Full of graphene, nano plastics, mercury and aluminum?
The line of reasoning is syllogistic, If they are sanctioned and have a higher death rate then it must be the sanctions causing the higher death rate. If could be many other things besides sanctions. The lancet is a wildly lefty publication that advocated for George Floyd and other lefty social causes. Cant be trusted anymore.
Citing the Lancet has become like citing Mad Magazine, The National Enquirer, or (more generously) Wikipedia. It has become a tool more along the lines of woke political activism (attempting to give bad or even completely false ideas a veneer of intellectual credibility) as opposed to a venue of honest intellectual inquiry and scientific investigation.
Fair question. It's like the old example of the moral dilemma: do you throw the switch on the train track to save a larger group of people while sentencing others to death? It's tougher in this case as there are so many unknown unknowns that you can't be assured of the correctness of your actions. But you can be sure you will kill people.
In that case, the only way to deal with international issues is what we are doing in Iran ... direct action. Right? Otherwise, we just let everyone on the planet do whatever the hell they please? What do you suggest, Mr. Leake?
🙄 talk about being brainwashed !! You Yankees and Israelis are exactly doing what ever you want!! Iran cant even decide what they do in their own place? But Yankee is allowed nukes?? Now tell me, who has used nukes on civilians?? Was it Iran? A muslim?
Often here in not even allowed to question or speak against these dictators !! Special laws against "anti semitism" like they deserve special treatment over us, who have genetically lived in these countries for centuries!!
USA and Israel is those exact terrorist regimes who worship satan and baal who Imagine they can do what they want!
But i guess indoctrination makes everything "your" regime does ok??
I'm curious, where are you from? Sputnik implies Russian. I admit that, up until the last 6 years, I foolishly cheered on almost every action my government has taken. Now I find myself in a difficult place, not knowing who to trust.
Lancet is garbage not even worth using to wipe ones behind. While like a stopped clock, they may be unintentionally correct on occasion, nothing they print is worth anyone's attention.
Leake gets more strange by the day.

Ignorance is bliss
I don’t believe anything The Lancet says after their covid lies.
The Lancet is far from a trusted source. I don’t disagree that sanctions hurt the people, but some times there’s no alternative.
How many people are killed by the dictators who are being sanctioned? It’s a sad affair that leaders slaughter their own people also.
You need to do research . And not rely on mainstream media! God. Don't you know that by now.
You mean, the Lancet report? They have an agenda to be sure. If you are not aware of the slaughter of innocent people by their dictators, I think you need to pay attention.
NO, I don't mean that. 🙄
They are like mainstream media.
You don't know alternative media?

Bondi's "gambit" is to do as she is told by the powers which pull her strings.
Just look how many congressmen are involved in this scandal.
And I guarantee they aren't the only ones.
These people hide behind the law because they all believe they are above the law.
Calling Trump and her names will not be the solution.
Dogged reporting and asking questions will.
And don't forget to follow the body count of the questioners.
The stench will only get stronger.

I remember how horrified I was when Albright said that.
In this Evil World the Controllers cause the most suffering to the most people possible. Same with animals - just consider the food chain.
Lancet also advised that the vaccine was safe and effective.

This is ridiculous. “Sanctions” kill no one.
You may be Deconstructing like Tucker Carlson

And in the newly vacant, fertile ground of their minds sprout warped (inaccurate) ideologies, akin to Flat Earth, No-Virus, and Anti-Jew paranoia.
Very good analysis! Part of the overall depopulation agenda and profit for the elites (parasites).
