DEBATES ON COVID - VACCINES

Covid: A Collision of Historical and Scientific Illiteracy

Kevin Ryan | Dig Within – TRANSCEND Media Service

31 Dec 2021 – People don’t want to acknowledge the fact that we do not live in democratic societies any longer. Yet today the world is fully run by an oligarchy and that oligarchy wants us to be diverted and outraged about superficial things while staying ignorant or silent on issues important to us like the following.

Jonathan Cook – TRANSCEND Media Service

6 Jan 2022 – The corporate media is not our friend. The aim of its coverage of the pandemic is not to promote the public good. It is there to feed our anxieties, keep us coming back for more and monetize that distress.

Peter Koenig | Global Research - TRANSCEND Media Service

6 Jan 2022 – Early indications are that the tide may be turning, that “peak-covid tyranny” may have been reached. Going into 2022 under these new apparent signs could mean a rapid general awakening, to the point of reaching a critical mass of people who start doubting the going billion-dollar propagated narrative. That would be good. It’s never too late.

The Pentagon and CIA Have Shaped Thousands of Hollywood Movies into Super Effective Propaganda

David Swanson| World Beyond War - TRANSCEND Media Service

5 Jan 2022 – Propaganda is most impactful when people don’t think it’s propaganda, and most decisive when it’s censorship you never knew happened. When we imagine that the U.S. military only occasionally and slightly influences U.S. movies, we are extremely badly deceived.

TRANSCEND Media Service-TMS is both a service to other media and a medium in its own right. You are most welcome to use all materials originated here–no copyright, no fees–but attribution is greatly appreciated.

Every Monday we post Videos and Commentaries on current events from various subjects and parts of the world, drawing on the TRANSCEND network, which covers much of the world, and others.

The section Peace Journalism Perspective is inspired by a solution orientation, trying to identify the conflicts underlying the violence–direct and structural–so rampant in the world. Moreover, to search for ways out, a solution, itself in search of agency. The basic point about Peace Journalism is multi-truth, multi-angle reporting, with an inspiring, positive solution-orientation.

There are also links to related websites that may be of interest to our readers, and we are grateful for proposals to the TMS editor.

We send a TMS Weekly Digest to subscribers every Monday.
