When it comes to human behavior, things only change for the better when there is a lucid and unobstructed perception of what’s going on.

Self-destructive behavior patterns only go away when there’s a lucid and unobstructed perception of the previously unconscious psychological dynamics which were driving them.

Victims of abuse only end their abusive relationships when they obtain a lucid and unobstructed perception of the abusive dynamics as they truly are.

As COVID-19 cases in the US and beyond continue to soar, as hospitals continue to be overwhelmed, and as vaccine distribution continues to be uneven, our focus continues to be on the crisis parts of the crisis.

Michael Cohen Predicts People Trump Pardoned May Testify Against Him (Russ)

The author writes, “President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen suggested Monday that recent recipients of presidential pardons may turn on Trump and be forced to testify against him due to their lack of Fifth Amendment protection.”

The Romans had a term for 2020: Annus Horribilis  —  Horrible Year. In many respects, as one catastrophe after another sucked us in, the description fits perfectly. But perhaps the awfulness of 2020 is best captured in a newer phrase —  it was a black hole of a year, with challenges so overpowering that the flood of obituaries for iconic celebrities often flashed by in a blur.

In the latest reminder that COVID vaccines might not be as protective as the highly publicized Phase 3 trial data suggests, a local ABC News affiliate station in San Diego just reported that a nurse who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine came down with the virus 8 days later.

This isn’t unprecedented. Data from the Phase 3 trials indicated that it could take up to two weeks to develop protections from the virus after receiving the shot.

After an Israeli man reportedly died just 2 hours after receiving his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, authorities in the Swiss Canton of Lucerne said on Wednesday that one of the first people in the country to receive the vaccine has died, though whether his death had anything to do with the inoculation hasn’t yet been determined.

En cette fin d’année 2020, on a appris, via les médias, des nouvelles qui sont à première vue contradictoires. D’un côté, la France aura atteint, cette année, le nombre symbolique des 10 millions de pauvres ; le taux de croissance de l’économie a dégringolé, avec une récession de plus de 11%. Et de l’autre, le CAC 40 a connu son meilleur mois en 30 ans en novembre dernier.

Once again, the WHO has stepped in to offer some confusing comments about the coronavirus vaccine, warning that there is “no evidence to be confident shots prevent transmission” and that people who receive the vaccine should continue wearing masks and following all social distancing and travel guidelines.

The comments were made by WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan during what appears to have been a virtual press conference held Monday.

Microsoft, Google, LinkedIn and Github back Facebook in legal fight against Israeli spy firm.

Following a handful of reports, including one involving a priest from the Philadelphia area who volunteered as a trial participant, about patients who received a vaccine dying in the weeks following the second dose, one man in Israel has died 2 hours after receiving the vaccine.

According to reports in the Israeli press, a 75 year old man from Beit Shean died Monday morning from a heart attack about 2 hours after receiving the vaccine.

As Europe begins vaccinating the first wave of high-priority patients, a “glitch” has already emerged: many health-care workers and others have refused to take the vaccine, as skepticism and suspicion remain elevated.

All is not going according to plan in the biggest global rollout of what is arguably the most important vaccine in a century, and it is not just growing US mistrust in the covid injection effort that was rolled out in record time: an unexpected spike in allergic reactions to the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (and now, Moderna too) may prove catastrophic to widespread acceptance unless scientists can figure out what is causing it after the FDA’s rushed approval, and is also why as we 

President Trump on Sunday signed a $900 billion pandemic relief package which will include $600 direct checks, abandoning his immediate demand that Congress go back to the drawing board and provide $2,000 checks, and instead encouraged them to vote on a separate bill to “increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000.”

Among all the heartbreaking issues facing humanity this year, climate change is still the greatest long-term threat we face. Temperatures and sea levels have risen, glaciers have shrunk, drought and storms have become more frequent and intense. And climate change is a threat for which we are largely responsible. We must do far more to reverse it, and soon.

Below are stories about the ways that we (mis)treat our planet and what might be done to prevent further damage.

Ahead of the first doses of the BioNTech-Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to be administered in Germany this weekend, a creative pilot with a wild imagination and the knack for entering coordinates in his GPS logged flight hours by drawing a ‘sky syringe.’

Reuters reports pilot Samy Kramer spent a great deal of time entering the coordinates to create a syringe-shaped flight path over German skies as he needed to log flight hours.

De nombreux hommes politiques publient des livres. Des livres souvent écrits à quatre mains, parfois remplis de platitudes, construits autour de quelques “bonnes feuilles” à destination de la presse… Bref, destinés à soutenir un “plan com”.

While government officials think people should be sitting around worshipping them for throwing the peons $600 in stimulus (which hasn’t even arrived yet), the reality on the ground in the United States is that the government’s decision making, as it relates to Covid, has simply crippled many people’s finances.

All is not going according to plan in the global rollout of what is arguably the most important vaccine in a century, and it is not just growing mistrust in the covid injection effort that was rolled out in record time: an unexpected spike in allergic reactions to the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine may prove catastrophic to widespread acceptance unless scientists can figure out what is causing it after the FDA’s rushed approval.

Overnight Israeli jets pounded targets in Gaza in response to what the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said was Palestinian militant rocket fire into the south of the country.

“Hamas will bear the consequences for all terror emanating from Gaza,” the IDF announced in a tweet, after which it said Israeli aircraft had struck a series of Hamas military facilities including a rocket manufacturing location.

It’s been one of those years when we didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Thankfully we’ve come to rely each week on Ted Rall, whose unique political cartoons sometimes make us do both at the same time. Funny, trenchant, and often dark, his humor has zeroed in on the hypocrisy, mendacity, and depravity of our national “leaders.”

In the early hours of Feb. 7, China’s powerful internet censors experienced an unfamiliar and deeply unsettling sensation. They felt they were losing control.

Thanks in part to a massive investment in research by the British government, a lot of interesting data has come out of the UK, including a study which supposedly found evidence that immunity to COVID ‘degrades’ in the months after infection.

In this interview, we cover China’s influence in the US, The Great Reset and the future of the Chinese Communist Party.
