One of the most politically-connected yet scandal ridden vaccine companies in the united states, with troubling ties to the 2001 anthrax attacks and opioid crisis, is set to profit handsomely from the current coronavirus crisis. by Whitney Webb and Raul Diego Part 13 - Corning the COVID-19 market Emergent’s history of corruption and profiteering has in no way prevented them from cashing in on the COVID-19 global health crisis. On March 10, Emergent announced a partnership with Novavax to produce a COVID-19 vaccine, a vaccine also backed by the Bill Gates-backed Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).

H θεωρία της "σκευωρίας" είναι το καλύτερο χαρτί που θα επικαλεστεί για να μην αποζημιώσει τον ελληνικό λαό Σε υψηλούς τόνους πραγματοποιήθηκαν παρεμβάσεις των βουλευτών του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ-μελών της Προανακριτικής Επιτροπής στην υπόθεση Παπαγγελόπουλου-Novartis κατά τη συζήτηση στην ολομέλεια της Βουλής που διεξάγεται υπό τους περιορισμούς της πανδημίας και με έκτακτα μέτρα στην αίθουσα του κοινοβουλίου.  Μεγάλη ένταση προκλήθηκε στην ομιλία του Γιάννη Ραγκούση, ο οποίος κατηγόρησε τη Νέα Δημοκρατία ότι όχι μόνο χρησιμοποίησε απόρρητο υλικό από την Προανακριτική Επιτροπή για την πρόταση διεύρυνσης του κατηγορητηρίου αλλά το χρησιμοποίησε αποσπασματικά, κάνοντας λόγο για μεγάλη ανηθικότητα.

Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act have exposed a secretive Foreign Office unit aimed at the ‘reconstruction’ of Venezuela. The files also reveal private discussions between Venezuelan opposition figures and UK officials, detailing proposals for the promotion of British business after a planned coup. Over the past 16 months, the UK government has consistently supported Venezuelan opposition figure Juan Guaidó’s attempts to topple the elected government of president Nicolás Maduro. In late January 2019, for example, the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) urged the Bank of England to grant Guaidó access to £1.2bn of Venezuelan gold reserves. The Department for International Development (DFID) has also pledged some £40m of ‘humanitarian assistance’ to Venezuela, but it has refused to reveal where this assistance is going. In January 2020, Guaidó travelled to London to meet with UK government officials and shore up international support for his

Democracy Now! As the top infectious disease expert testifies to the Senate that needless death and suffering could result from reopening too quickly, author and journalist Naomi Klein says a “pandemic shock doctrine” is beginning to emerge. The U.S. healthcare industry "sees a potential bonanza" in the coronavirus, she says, which represents "a win for them.”  She also details how our lives could be transformed into a “living laboratory for a permanent — and highly profitable — no-touch future" that benefits tech companies providing the so-called solutions to the crisis, including in healthcare, education and surveillance.

Πριν από κάθε είδους κρίση, οι νεοφιλελεύθεροι καπιταλιστές εξυμνούν την ελεύθερη αγορά και καταριούνται το κακό κράτος που αποτελεί εμπόδιο ενάντια στον θρίαμβο της "επιχειρηματικότητας". Όταν όμως σκάσει μια μεγάλη κρίση, τρέχουν στο κράτος και ζητάνε λεφτά, κρατώντας σε ομηρία τους εργαζόμενους που ήδη έχουν γονατίζει με πετσοκομμένους μισθούς, ελαστικά ωράρια, απαράδεκτες συνθήκες εργασίας σε πολλές περιπτώσεις. Και όλα αυτά, πάντα υπό τη δαμόκλειο σπάθη της απόλυσης. Έτσι και τώρα, όλες οι μεγάλες αεροπορικές εταιρίες άπλωσαν το χέρι για κρατικό χρήμα λόγω της κρίσης της πανδημίας. Και η Aegean δεν θα μπορούσε να αποτελέσει εξαίρεση. Και φυσικά, τέτοιες εταιρίες έχουν τον απόλυτα δικό τους άνθρωπο στην απόλυτα δικιά τους κυβέρνηση, καθώς ο Κωστής Χατζηδάκης βρίσκεται στον σκληρό πυρήνα της νεοφιλελεύθερης φράξιας που κάνει κουμάντο στην κυβέρνηση Μητσοτάκη.   Το 200

globinfo freexchange Now that the "Bernie Sanders" threat for the establishment has been neutralized (for a second time), the neoliberal machine is free to pretend that it cares about the truth. Kyle Kulinski speaks about a new documentary by VICE about the media bias against Bernie Sanders.

Curious how it released after Bernie dropped out.  Kulinski finds that the mainstream media still have enough power to neutralize an undesirable candidate, as they did with Bernie, despite the fact that most of the people don't trust them. He also explains the demographics of this year's race for the leadership of the Democratic party. As he supports, Millennials and Gen Xers overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders against the Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation
