Jeffrey Sachs: end Ukraine proxy war or face "armageddon"

Ed Curtin discusses the precarious global geopolitical situation teetering on World War 3 and how in the current Cuban Missile Crisis Redux we do not have a global leadership that can use reason to solve the problem. The most dangerous thing is the insouciance of most people to what is going on, the populace is focused on trivial pursuits, and has been tranquilized. He wouldn't be surprised if we wake up one day soon and we see news that nukes have gone off. Putin is doing what any sane leader would do, defending his country from surrounding NATO forces. It's quite obvious that the U.S. is the leading rogue nation in the world. A multipolar world is slowly coming into view.

About Edward Curtin
Educated in the classics, philosophy, literature, theology, and sociology, I teach sociology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. My writing on varied topics has appeared widely over many years. I write as a public intellectual for the general public, not as a specialist for a narrow readership. I believe a non-committal sociology is an impossibility and therefore see all my work as an effort to enhance human freedom through understanding.

Ukraine war escalates as diplomacy disappears

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty discusses his must-read book The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State and traces the roots of the medical tyranny we've been experiencing to the Anglosphere and eugenics movement which later was exported to Germany. Postwar principles of medical ethics (e.g. Nuremberg Code) were completely abandoned in 2020. The Biomedical Security State is a public health apparatus that has become militarized and wouldn't have been possible before the advent of the iPhone in 2007. The definition of "public health" has continued to expand to include social justice (e.g. BLM) and environment (e.g. climate lockdowns) which is a dangerous trend. He discusses how Digital ID and CBDCs will lead to totalitarianism and touches on the religious aspect of the New Abnormal (e.g. scientism, neo-Gnosticism, transhumanism).

Aaron Kheriaty: Rise of the Biomedical Security State #328

Rishi Sunak is using record inflation to justify austerity 2.0. We ask James Meadway if that makes economic sense.

Plus: Trump launches his 2024 presidential election bid; and the shameful neglect by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing that led to the death of a 2-year-old.

With Michael Walker and Dalia Gebrial.

TyskySour: Inflation Highest In 41 Years

This week on the Global Research News Hour, as the UN talks on Climate Change finally comes to an end, we will host a show discussing the agenda of the billionaire foxes wearing the clothing of planet saving sheep.

In our first half hour, we are joined once again by independent journalist and environmental activist Cory Morningstar to discuss what is coming out of this year’s Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Then in our second half hour, we will hear from academic and author Claudia Von Werlhof about how secret military geoengineering in the United States and abroad is actually happening and how the agreements signed by the multiple climate meetings together with the COVID scare is helping the billionaire architects create a brave new economic and political world for all of us.

“What a Scam it Actually Is.” Assessing COP27 and Modern Climate Activism

John Whitehead discusses the Deep State (the 7th Floor Group) and how the future of America and the world will become everything the great science fiction writers have prophesied. The collapse of the United States is akin to the collapse of the Roman Empire where we could very well see people being taken away and put to death. The coming of Singularity in 2029 and takeover of AI is very likely. We are very similar to Nazi Germany, the police state is expanding, and people need to get up and get active in their governments. We only have a small window of time left.

A scholarly study found that British colonialism caused approximately 165 million deaths in India from 1880 to 1920, while stealing trillions of dollars of wealth. The global capitalist system was founded on European imperial genocides, which inspired Adolf Hitler and led to fascism.

Former deep undercover detective and member of the DOJ's Organized Crime Strike Force Mike Rothmiller discusses deep politics, the abuse of power at the highest levels of government, and his new eye-opening book "Bombshell: The Night Bobby Kennedy Killed Marilyn Monroe". He profiles Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedy brothers and explains how he tracked down actor Peter Lawford, who was with Bobby Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe the night she died. Lawford explains that he witnessed a physical altercation between the two and that eventually Bobby gave Marilyn something to drink which left her dead on the bed. This was covered up by the LAPD. While discussing the deep state, he also tells a fascinating story of his trip to México City in the 1980s where a Mexican security official confided to him how the CIA was running drugs and weapons via México.

*The host repeatedly misstated "Robert and Bobby" when he actually meant to say "John and Bobby".
