WHO-UNICEF Vaccination Campaign in Gaza: Polio Eradication or Transition to Bio-Warfare? Mike Whitney (2024)
So, the UN is unable to distribute humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, but they are charging ahead with a mass vaccination campaign?
Doesn’t that sound a bit strange? Keep in mind, the Israelis have been preventing food, water and medicine from entering Gaza for months which has led to mass starvation and a sharp uptick in preventable diseases. But now we are expected to believe that they care about the physical well-being of the people they have been bombing to smithereens for the last 10 months?
I’m not buying it. Here’s more from the Times:
Syria: From Fermenting Uprising to Delivering Polio (2013)
In Syria, now, apart from funding weapons to a reported thousand different factions of foreign terrorists from perhaps eighty plus countries, NATO, the US, UK and their Middle East cohorts have seemingly delivered polio.
Gates Vaccine Spreads Polio Across Africa (2020)
In a revealing comment, a CDC virologist involved with WHO and the Gates Foundation in the Africa mass polio vaccination campaign, part of something called the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, admits the vaccine is creating significantly more cases of polio paralysis than the deceptively named “wild polio” disease. “We have now created more new emergences of the virus than we have stopped,” virologist Mark Pallansch of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admitted. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is a combined effort of the WHO, UNICEF, the U.S. CDC, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Rotary International.
Vaccine spreading polio in Nigeria, health officials warn (2009)
Polio, the dreaded paralyzing disease stamped out in the industrialized world, is spreading in Nigeria. And health officials say that in some cases, it’s caused by the vaccine used to fight it.
Confessions of Medical Truth-Tellers (2021)
Summarizing his concerns, he said the following:
No evidence shows that vaccinations eliminate childhood diseases.
The Salk and Sabin polio vaccines don’t work.
Salk later admitting that mass inoculations for polio caused an epidemic of the disease after 1961.
Smallpox vaccinations are “the only source of smallpox-related deaths for three decades after the disease had disappeared” on its own.
Inoculation risks are real. Parents should avoid them when possible.
Doctors are derelict for not explaining their hazards and for “defend(ing) them to the death.”
Mass-inoculations dramatically increase autoimmune and neurological diseases, including leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and numerous others ranging from annoying to lethal.

Pharmaceutical Giant GlaxoSmithKline “Accidentally” Released 45 Liters of Concentrated Live Polio Virus in the Environment (2014)
Belgium – As reported to ECDC by Belgian authorities, on 2 September 2014, following a human error, 45 litres of concentrated live polio virus solution were released into the environment by the pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), in Rixensart city, Belgium. The liquid was conducted directly to a water-treatment plant (Rosieres) and released after treatment in river Lasne affluent of river Dyle which is affluent of the Escaut/Scheldt river. Belgium’s High Council of Public Health conducted a risk assessment that concluded that the risk of infection for the population exposed to the contaminated water is extremely low due to the high level of dilution and the high vaccination coverage (95%) in Belgium. 🤡
The Polio Vaccine: A Global Scourge Still Threatening Humanity (2015)
It is a very dangerous assumption to believe that any new vaccine or drug to fight an infectious disease or life-threatening disease will be safe once released upon an uninformed public. The history of pharmaceutical science is largely a story of failures as well as successes. Numerous drugs over the decades have been approved and found more dangerous than the condition being targeted, but only after hundreds of thousands of people were turned into guinea pigs by the medical establishment. In the case of vaccines, both the first human papilloma vaccine (Gardasil) and Paul Offit’s vaccine for rotavirus (Rotateq) were disasters. Both were fast tracked through the FDA and both failed to live up to their promises.
U.S. Media Blackout: Italian Courts Rule Vaccines Cause Autism (2015)
On September 23, 2014, an Italian court in Milan awarded compensation to a boy for vaccine-induced autism. (See the Italian document here.) A childhood vaccine against six childhood diseases caused the boy’s permanent autism and brain damage.
While the Italian press has devoted considerable attention to this decision and its public health implications, the U.S. press has been silent.

Yemen Condemns Terrorist Netanyahu's Claims Regarding Philadelphi Corridor
Yemen's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the false claims made by terrorist Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the Philadelphi Corridor. These statements aim to cover up the war crimes and genocide committed by the Zionist entity against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry emphasized that these claims, along with dragging Egypt’s name into the issue, serve internal Zionist purposes to obstruct any efforts toward a ceasefire or prisoner exchange.
Netanyahu Acknowledges Impact of Yemeni Strikes on the Zionist Entity
Netanyahu’s justification of “protecting Eilat” seems an attempt to soothe the Zionist settlers, as the port has become a ghost town due to continued Yemeni strikes since February. Eilat handles 40 percent of Israel's imported goods, according to Israeli government data.

Mali signs substantial military agreement with Chinese firm
Mali has signed a contract with a Chinese firm for military equipment, training, and technology transfer.
The agreement was signed on Monday by Mali’s Defense Minister Sadio Camara and the head of the Chinese firm Norinco in Beijing.

"Norinco delivered equipment to us without waiting for the payment of money. It was at the end of the embargo that we were able to settle this contract. We will not forget this act," Goita was quoted as saying.
ICYMI
The International Criminal Court has demanded that Libya hand over former leader Muamar Gaddafi‘s son Saif after his release by an armed militia last week, but it is the Court, not Saif, which should be on trial.
One word tells you all you need to know about the ICC, and that’s ISIS: These terrorists have perpetuated the most appalling crimes in Libya, not least the ritual execution — filmed and uploaded onto its website — of Egyptian Coptic Christians on a beachfront two years ago. The result? No indictments from the ICC.
The ICC is a kangaroo court if ever there was one, and its pursuit of Saif smacks of politics. Consider that for years he pushed for reforms in Libya, and consider also that he commanded no military nor police units. Indeed he was not in a position to commit war crimes. And yet the Hague wants him for crimes against humanity.
Gaddafi's Libya Was Africa 's Most Prosperous Democracy
By Garikai Chengu
12 January, 2013
Contrary to popular belief, Libya , which western media described as "Gaddafi's military dictatorship" was in actual fact one of the world's most democratic States.
In 1977 the people of Libya proclaimed the Jamahiriya or "government of the popular masses by themselves and for themselves." The Jamahiriya was a higher form of direct democracy with 'the People as President.' Traditional institutions of government were disbanded and abolished, and power belonged to the people directly through various committees and congresses.
The nation State of Libya was divided into several small communities that were essentially "mini-autonomous States" within a State. These autonomous States had control over their districts and could make a range of decisions including how to allocate oil revenue and budgetary funds. Within these mini autonomous States, the three main bodies of Libya 's democracy were Local Committees, People's Congresses and Executive Revolutionary Councils.
Source: ``Journey to the Libyan Jamahiriya`` (20-26 May 2000).
In 2009, Mr. Gaddafi invited the New York Times to Libya to spend two weeks observing the nation's direct democracy. Even the New York Times, that was always highly critical of Colonel Gaddafi, conceded that in Libya, the intention was that “everyone is involved in every decision...Tens of thousands of people take part in local committee meetings to discuss issues and vote on everything from foreign treaties to building schools.” The purpose of these committee meetings was to build a broad based national consensus.

Russiagate seems too good of a weapon for the Democrats to give up. Its initial appearance, beginning in 2016, dangerously raised tensions with nuclear-armed Russia. But in the midst of today’s escalating crisis in Ukraine, a Russiagate repeat recklessly raises danger to insane heights.

Ibrahim noted that the chances for a ceasefire currently seem bleak, pointing, in this context, to a lack of commitment from key nations, especially the United States, which could play a significant role in halting the war.

This vaccination campaign is as paradoxical as it is highly suspect. It appears, more likely as an additional tool for the spread of polio (probably introduced by the Zionist entity itself), of destruction by another means of Palestinian society. Moreover, there is every reason to believe that substantial dividends will undoubtedly flow from these machiavellian manoeuvres. So don’t see any inclination to philanthropy!
A very comprehensive look at world affairs. Thank you for your excellent work, Carina. What I found most interesting at the moment is the story of Libya and how it was a true democracy. And now look at what happened to Libya? The Libyans suffer.
