Increasing corporate power will end in disaster

Those who took the mRNA vaccines, especially pregnant women, did so based on trust in health authorities. However a recent report contains previously suppressed information that raises serious concerns.

#censorship #propaganda #criticalthinking Only if we expose what’s going on and break down all of the infrastructure under these institutions that are so corrupt, will we have a chance of being able to build them back up again.” ~ Dr Julie Ponesse Ethics and philosophy Professor, Julie Ponesse, was fired from her university position in 2021 for not complying with the institution’s vaccine mandate. Dr Ponesse explains the vilification and exclusion she experienced - from the very academics who were influential in her choice of academic philosophy as a career path, as well as the Canadian media - for asking ethics questions about the mandate that led to her termination. Uncensored ethical and philosophical debate is no longer welcome at the very institutions that claim to teach young minds critical thought. “If we don’t have freedom over our body, we have no freedom at all” ~ Dr Julie Ponesse Deafening Silencing is a series documenting the widespread and indiscreet use of direct censorship, de-platforming, smearing, coercing and other attempts to silence individuals questioning the official narrative on the pandemic event and the associated public health measures. The crude censorship methods employed by the mainstream press and large tech corporations enable and support the equally crude propaganda our societies are flooded with.

Has fear of GMC retribution crushed proper clinical practice?

Democracies and sane societies are built on rationalism and honesty. They may not always exhibit this, but these values must underpin major decisions. Without them, neither democracy nor justice are sustainable.

#worldhealthorganization #pandemic #government Dr David Bell presents on the proposed new World Health Organization emergency powers and looks at what they mean and what they don't mean. Dr Bell is a clinical and public health physician, with a PhD in malaria epidemiology and modelling of interventions. He has held advisory and reviewer posts for the WHO, The Global Fund, the Wellcome Trust, and the European Commission, amongst others. His research and operational experience includes the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia, and East and Southern Africa. David has worked as Director of the Global Health Technologies Portfolio at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund; and as a Programme Head for Malaria and Acute Febrile Disease at the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) in Geneva; and also as a coordinator introducing malarial diagnostics and scale-up with the WHO. David has over 90 peer-reviewed publications and is an internationally requested reviewer and speaker. He is a Fellow of the Australasian Faculty of Public Health Medicine and the Royal College of Physicians (UK) as well as a member of PANDA's executive committee. The Covid event has revealed that it was about more than just public health and the political, economic and societal aspects of the response are of far greater significance than the virus itself. There remains a continued drive toward the transformation of our societies in ways that threaten democracy and our existing ways of life. Open Society Sessions aim to examine the political, societal and economic dimensions of our recent experience and analyse developments in the future. Support our work: https://www.pandata.org/donate

#censorship #science #politics Prof Tim Noakes spent his academic career at the University of Cape Town (UCT) from 1969 to 2014 earning the MBChB, MD and DSc degrees; the Order of Mapungubwe (Silver) from the State President of South Africa and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the National Research Foundation. A recent analysis has found that he is the third most-cited medical researcher in South Africa; the second highest from UCT. He is also the world's third most-cited living Sports Scientist. However none of this was sufficient to protect him in 2014 from being “cancelled” by the UCT Medical Faculty with support from the then UCT Vice-Chancellor. His crime was that he dared to present the evidence that the dietary advice promoted by that institution and essential all medical faculties around the world, contributes to the global obesity/diabetes pandemic and that the first step in reversing these pandemics would be to tell this truth to the public. With strong support from UCT (and three other prominent South African Universities), also in 2014, the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) charged Noakes with unprofessional conduct for a single seven-word Tweet on social media. The case was heard over 28 days stretched out over 4 years ending in June 2018; Noakes and his team of 3 expert witnesses delivered more than 7000 pages of scientific evidence during 12 days of testimony under oath with cross-examination. The decision of the original HPCSA committee as well as the committee appointed to hear the Appeal of the Prosecution against the original finding (unfavorable for the HPCSA), concluded that Noakes was innocent of all charges. The final count was 13 decisions in favor of Noakes; zero for the HPCSA. In this presentation, Prof Noakes shares the full story of his case and explains how he experienced the "cancel culture" that threatened his stellar career.

#politics #society #equality There is a fundamental tension between reliance on expert knowledge and equal citizenship in a constitutional democracy. On the one hand, it is generally understood that in a democratic society, citizens are equal and independent co-deliberators in the public sphere, meaning that no citizen’s evidence or reasons should be downgraded in public deliberation just because he has less access to power or money. If one citizen’s reasons or evidence are given more weight, it should be because their reasons are more persuasive, or their evidence is of a higher quality, or because they have proven themselves to be more qualified or knowledgeable about a subject than other citizens. If these conditions have been met, then giving more weight to the arguments or reasons of one citizen than another may be publicly justified and not inherently offensive to civic equality. However, in practice this is not how public deliberation functions, for a number of reasons. First, people often use proxies like credentials and reputation to demonstrate their superior qualifications, and reputation or credentials may not be a reliable marker of superior knowledge. So the guy with the Harvard Ph.D may be gaining an unfair or inappropriate advantage in public debate even though his knowledge is no better for the purpose at hand than the next person’s. Second, people who are smart and well trained in a field of knowledge may be quite adept at dazzling the public with a display of erudition or “expertise” that conceals the weaknesses in their position or distort the data, giving rise to a relationship of intellectual domination or manipulation that is inconsistent with equal citizenship. Third, those with impressive credentials may be co-opted in a selective or one-sided way by politicians to legitimate their policy preferences, with no regard to opposing experts. Fourth, the danger of manipulation is only exacerbated in a world of intense specialisation, in which policymakers and ordinary citizens often have neither the time nor the energy to master the knowledge required to evaluate the plausibility of expert opinion. The purpose of this presentation by research fellow Dr David Thunder from the Institute for Culture and Society at the University of Navarra in Spain, will be simply to review some of the main threats posed to equal citizenship by reliance on those conventionally considered to be qualified experts; and to explore some ways these threats might be mitigated both at the individual and institutional levels. David will not be offering any pat answers, but will be suggesting some damage limitation strategies. His hope is that the presentation will open up a conversation about how to better manage the risks knowledge hierarchies pose to freedom and equality of citizens as co-participants in a self-governing society. The Covid event has revealed that it was about more than just public health and the political, economic and societal aspects of the response are of far greater significance than the virus itself.

Many believe that they have a good idea about what happened during the last three years. In this series, we intend to demonstrate that every aspect of this narrative is inaccurate, starting with the purported success of the vaccines in saving lives.
