Top News Stories Of The Week, Issue No. 6
Headline stories from throughout independent media you should know about, from the week of July 30th, 2022
Compiling some of the top headlines of the week from across alternative media, curated by Break The Matrix and beyond.
In this weeks edition…
1.) The US Continues To Play With Fire In Regard To China
The ruling class with the support of the military industrial complex is continuing its egotistical brinkmanship with regard to its China policy. Much like the events that preceded the Ukraine – Russia War, US imperialism is continuing to lead us down and increasingly dangerous road.
The same warnings are being issued with regard to Taiwan that were issued with Ukraine, and one way or another the United States is going to have to learn that we are entering a multipolar world. Not for much longer is it going to be able to bully and kill its way around the planet to get its way and enforce the agenda of globalist oligarchs.
As Caitlin Johnstone writes, "Failing to learn from history is one thing; failing to learn even from the last five months is quite another. Pelosi and whoever’s orchestrating her trip should abort those plans immediately, because the dangers that are being toyed with here are not worth the moral victory of being able to say that China didn’t make you swerve in the stupidest game of “chicken” that has ever been played."
2.) Bank Of America Memo Says The Quiet Part Out Loud
Of course it has become quite clear to anyone paying attention to the true nature of America's economic state the effect that corporatism has played on the deteriorating livelihoods of the people — the merger between corporate and government entities creates a heavily centralized, monopolized economy that primarily only benefits the powerful.
Now, a recently leaked memo from the Bank of America have revealed theses attitudes of the corporatist class outright. Suggesting that the more the economy deteriorates, the harder it is for workers to earn a proper wage, the higher the unemployment rate, the more difficult the quality of life, the better it is for big banks and corporations.
Noted by The Intercept, "the memo therefore tells us what we suspected all along: The most powerful economic actors in the U.S. — entities like Bank of America and its clients — do not like working people to have power."
3.) More Proof The War On Drugs Is A Sham
The War on Drugs is one of the gravest crimes against humanity the US government has ever perpetuated. Students of history are well aware that the true purpose of Nixon's drug war was the criminalization of African Americans and anti-war activists as the CIA covertly trafficked drugs onto US streets for decades. This is a historical fact.
This self perpetuating war against the American people has ripped apart countless families, removing children from home and placing them into institutions rife with abuse and human trafficking. A recent study has now shown that drug legalization significantly reduces the admissions to these abusive systems and the subsequent damage that they cause.
Yet another example that the war on drugs is not only a failure, but continues to perpetuate mass suffering and should be ended immediately.
4.) Technocracy Will Inevitably Fail
Time it again this channel and others like it continue to forewarn of the rising globalist technocratic dystopia being put in place by predator class figures such as the World Economic Forum, Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, etc. And for good reason, as being aware of these agendas are paramount to being able to resist them.
Though often exposing the news of these agendas also comes with the caveat of an imbued hopelessness to oppose them, "what can we do?" — Which is why the most ardent among us also focus on solutions to uplift readers.
In this same theme, this recent piece by James Corbett outlines specifically why the tyrannical machinations of globalist technocrats will fail. It's not a question of if. It's a plain and simple fact that these agendas, which are inherently anti-human and anti-freedom, are absolutely unsustainable as a long-term means of societal organization and WILL collapse. We The People WILL win. That's not to say it will be easy, but as also previously reported populism continues to rise around the planet. The people continue to stand up and oppose these authoritarian agendas, the failure of these systems is inevitable, and we are destined for a freer future.
As James Corbett writes, "the quicker that we wake up and realize the power to change the world for the better is in our hands—not in the hands of the would-be world controllers—the sooner this nightmare will end."
5.) MSM Syria Disinformation Propagandists Exposed
In this latest report by The GrayZone's Aaron Maté, he pushes back against the claim by various Western media propagandists such as those from The Guardian insisting that he and various other independent journalists exposing the lies of the Syria conflict are "purveyors of disinformation".
Maté and his colleagues have worked tirelessly to expose the facts of the ongoing OPCW cover-up scandal, in which top officials for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons fraudulently manipulated data to publish false conclusions implicating the Syrian government in a 2018 chemical attack in Douma, Syria. These facts which Maté has provided are backed by tangible evidence and are irrefutable.
Despite this, Western propagandists have taken to censoring and criticizing his work and that of his colleagues without a shred of evidence in an attempt to discredit this factual information on behalf of the warmongering narrative to proliferate the West's illegal war in Syria. In this piece Maté goes on to reveal the conflicts of interest and state-sponsored backings of these mainstream media propagandists that demonstrate they are in fact guilty of spreading discrimination.
6.) Purveyors Of War Propaganda
This latest report for MintPress News details the various deep ties between social media's supposed "fact checking" organizations, the Ukrainian government, and Western intelligence agencies.
Allegedly dedicated to stopping the spread of disinformation, the most prolific among these fact checkers are directly financially tied to CIA cutouts such as the National Endowment for Democracy, NATO, and have a history of spreading propaganda on behalf of Ukrainian Neo-Nazi groups.
Contrary to being "objective, unbiased, and independent", the vast majority of these organizations have massive conflicts of interest and histories of deception that make them nothing more than partisan gatekeepers regurgitating the establishment narrative and discrediting any information that dares challenge it.
As astute readers will already be aware, contrary to Western assertions, it is the Ukrainian government & military and its Western supporters that are guilty of some of the most heinous and blatantly false disinformation of the Russian–Ukraine war. The more these relationships are revealed the more it becomes clear how they are able to so easily get away with it.
7.) CBP Is Deliberately Endangering Migrant Children
In yet another egregious violation of human rights by American border agents, it is reported by the Cato Institute that the Customs and Border Protection agents continually commit acts of child endangerment.
The report states agents will routinely expel minor detainees, as young as infants and toddlers, in the middle of the night — oftentimes because rights attorneys are unavailable to contest the deportations at such a late hour — kicking them out on the streets with nothing to their name in areas that the State Department have deemed too dangerous for travel.
CBP is using a loophole in Title 42 to ignore restrictions which bar deportations between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
According to official data, tens of thousands of children have been expelled in this way, many with horrifying results as they would then be kidnapped and trafficked by cartels.
8.) EPA Exposed, Part 10 — EPA Upper Management Is Still Putting Americans At Risk.
For over a year The Intercept's Sharon Lerner has been publishing a bombshell series, which Break The Matrix has been closely following and sharing, documenting accounts from multiple whistleblowers within the Environmental Protection Agency detailing evidence that upper management within the EPA's New Chemicals Division have been manipulating data and altering the results of health and safety assessments for new chemicals on behalf of corporate interests.
Despite the chemicals being incredibly dangerous, at times over 100 times the permitted safety limit, officials would alter data in order for the chemicals to be approved. Exposing millions of Americans to hazardous chemicals which pose a risk of neurological damages, infertility, cancers, and various other harmful side effects. While also creating an incredibly toxic work environment for the scientists who spoke out against these practices, harassing and intimidating them into silence.
In the latest instalment of this series, despite the fact that the agency has taken steps to improve its regulatory practices, whistleblowers attest that these misbehaviors continue to occur.
9.) UN "Declares War" On "Conspiracy Theories"
The United Nations Education, Society, and Culture Organization (UNESCO) has launched a new campaign dedicated to fighting so called "conspiracy theories" online.
Warning that such theories can undermine trust in public institutions, have lasting impacts, and be dangerous to minority communities.
Of course the laughable irony in this is that this is a clear-cut case of what we refer to in psychology as narcissistic projection. An instance in which an individual will attribute upon others characteristics that they themselves are guilty of. Such as a liar accusing others of being liars.
In this report, Dan Dicks of Press For Truth further elaborates this latest campaign to quell dissent among the masses and debunks some of their most common tactics.
10.) EPA Identifies 23 Facilities Whos Toxic Air Pollution Is Putting Thousands Of Americans At Risk Of Cancer
The EPA has identified nearly two dozen commercial sterilizer plants across the united states whos toxic air pollution has “significantly increased lifetime cancer risks for nearby residents”, according to an emissions data analysis.
A report from ProPublica and the Texas Tribune states the facilities use a toxic gas called ethylene oxide to sanitize medical and dental equipment and fumigate certain food products. The announcement comes after the EPA’s inspector general and news publications including ProPublica and The Texas Tribune highlighted the agency’s yearslong failure to inform communities of their risks.
An investigation found that among the identified communities, Laredo, Texas, a city on the Texas-Mexico border with a population of 260,000, was one of the most at risk.
The report went on to state; “Last year, an unprecedented analysis of five years of industry data by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found that a 38-year-old commercial sterilizer located in close proximity to an elementary school in Laredo was the most toxic facility of its kind in the country. Yet none of the more than 100 residents contacted by reporters, including local officials, were aware of the risk; all but one said they didn’t even know the plant existed.”
11.) Ukraine Update And A New Report From Amnesty International Proves Ukrainian Military Is Using Civilians As Human Shields
The latest analysis of the ground fighting in Ukraine via Moon Of Alabama continues to show the deterioration of Ukrainian forces and the breaking of battle lines in the east. Acknowledging that the defensive line west of Donetsk city has been broken as Russian forces prepare for an offensive in Kherson in the south next week where Ukrainian forces hope to mount a counter offensive.
Additionally, a recent investigation from Amnesty International has led to damning reports highlighting the Ukrainian millitry’s use of civilians as human shields.
After months of reports claiming the Ukrainian army was deliberately establishing fighting positions in residential areas, endangering the local civilian population, the new Amnesty report has confirmed what has until now been dismissed by Western cynics as “Russian propaganda”. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continue to commit brazen war crimes against the civilians of the Donbass region. On Thursday, August 4th, Ukrainian artillery was fired into the center of Donetsk yet again. This time striking the Opera and Ballet Theater and the Donbass Palace hotel in downtown Donetsk, leaving a preliminary toll of five civilians dead and six others injured.
12.) Latest Israeli War Crimes — New Bombing Campaign Kills At Least 10 Palestinian Civilians In Gaza Strip
On Friday evening the Israeli military launched a new series of strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip in occupied Palestine, marking the beginning of a new operation known as Breaking Dawn, targeting the group known as Islamic Jihad for its retaliatory strikes in response to recent Israeli aggression. During the bombings the leader of Islamic Jihad, Taiseer al-Jabari, was assassinated along with approximately 10 more civilians, including a 5 year old girl. The strikes also left approximately 55 civilians wounded.
As a result, the PIJ and other militant groups have launched retaliatory strikes firing hundreds of missiles into Israeli settlements as the two continue to trade rocket fire. Egyptian officials have attempted to offer an avenue of mediation.
POSITIVE STORIES OF THE WEEK
It isn’t all bad! Even with all the insanity around the world and much of the harsh topics we have to cover as independent journalists, it is important to realize there is still so much good left in the world too.
The predator class thrive on keeping society trapped in a low vibrational frequency perpetuated by fear, anger, stress, anxiety, toxicity, and all-around negativity. The best way to fight this is of course with more goodness, love, kindness, compassion, empathy, and overall positivity.
To that end, Break The Matrix makes it a point to attempt to close out every day with a Positive Story Of The Day to remind readers there is always something to smile about and bring a little bit of joy and happiness back into the news cycle.
