Celia:I understood your post and I think Mark did too. People are hard to define now. I’m on the same journey. 4 years ago, would’ve never read you or Mark or Bobby Jr. I was the poster boy for ultra conservative. Then they started trying to kill us, Trump included. New alliances are forming. They want to use the old left/right divide...let’s not let them

I started questioning the left, after growing up a union baby, during the 90's when my wife covered Duesberg & we joined a local SF organization called Heal SF which also was critical of vaxxes. Some fellow members were libertarians and even a couple of Republicans. Fast forward to 2014/2015, & the Dems, headed by Ricard Pan here in CA, were in full vax tyranny mode. Can't say I didn't see it coming.

Pick up the telephone and have a live chat. The written words gets everyone all mixed up and pissed off. Hello Operator, please put me thru to _ _ _- _ _ _ - _ _ _.

Celia, thanks for your article about MCM, who is indeed a courageous truth fighter and deserves all the praise you can load upon him for standing up for those 'difficult' issues which lefties like Chomsky have abandoned (JFK, 9/11, Covid). Stay strong.

Cranky AND perceptive is a winning combination.

Do you feel like your name should be Miss Understood? That's my name too. As an RN in this fight, I sort of get what you mean. You are a long time veteran though. Plus, a hero. 💞💞

Celia and Mark have both been great on this since the beginning of 2020. Not too many others.

Take a break on this lovely Sunday afternoon. No need get upset by anyone’s ideas about who’s who or what’s what right now. You can that crap tomorrow or next week or even next lifetime if one exists.

I’m just glad to see the army of truthsters (which you were on of the first) is growing in leaps and bounds. And we have a virtual place here to meet.

The key to the mint.. The foundation card that this vaccine ruled hegemony ..is the belief in viruses.

Until the world ..even those fighting against this visible tyranny find out and realize that viruses DO NOT EXIT ..then this fight is futile.

Viruses are essentially the appropriation of symptoms of illnesses of multiple causations and blamed on arbitrary particles, sighted in normal and artifact concoctions.

Dr Tom Cowan et al has the edification on this reality and to those not bound to outcomes the revelations will be obvious if not the implications.

THERE ARE NO CONTAGIOUS AND INFECTIOUS VIRUSES ...NONE.

The lesson here is that Left/Right is not a useful distinction. It does not identify allies. It does not identify enemies. We are often on same or different sides of things. It *depends*. Thoughts are deeper things than these superficial labels. All this distinction does is introduce confusion and taxonomy where it is not needed, and unnecessarily dismissing people based on make-believe categories. The thinkers and writers I gravitate towards defy such classifications anyway, since they think for themselves. (And once again, I've shoe-horned in my stack title 😉 )

I rarely see references to the leadership, courage and prolific erudition shown throughout the manufactured COVID crisis by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky. Prof. Chossudovsky founded Global Research.ca in 2001. He is still the hands-on director of the Montreal based operation that includes French and Spanish extensions of the project. As some of the readers here will know, since 2020 Global Research.ca has been daily putting out 10 or so essays, many of them original, on COVID matters. Simultaneously Michel's site publishes leftist perspectives on a number of issues it have been regularly covered at GR for more than two decades of academic activism on the net.

As I know from my own experience, Michel has helped a variety of authors in several languages take their contributions from the idea stage through to edited completion. Before the COVID crackdown it would not be uncommon for GR.ca essays to be replicated in say 50 times or so other sites. Now, however, COVID essays are stripped from the action that takes place on the big search engines.

Michel himself is constantly facing hassles from the US State Dept., CBC and others that he is some sort of agent of Russian disinformation. Even with all the attacks and restrictions restrictions, however, GR.ca retains a fairly large group of loyal readers who regularly make their way to the GR site and contribute in various ways to keeping it all going.

Amidst all this, Michel wrote his own important important book on "The Worldwide Corona Crisis." As you will see by consulting the range of articles published on the site, Michel's left perspective continues to come across loud and clear. He worthy of acknowledgement in this process of remembering the leftists who did show up to continue the class struggle throughout the manufactured COVID crisis. Please see

Try being a physical anthropologist. 20% of your time is spent searching for, examining, and publishing your findings about fossil remains which can add to the body of knowledge of the science (and physical anthropology is a science, or it was 50 years ago -- my time). And spend the next 80% of your time for the next 75 years arguing about taxonomy (systematics). In layman's terms, it's all about defining your terms, which as all we know is really the basis of most disagreements.

Hey Celia ~

I totally grokked your earlier post, and appreciated the fine distinction you made in specifying "public leftist intellectual". Sorry Marc misinterpreted it (if he did, I can't truly tell if that's accurate to say) but it doesn't change that your distinction is valid.

If anyone you didn't name takes offense (hopefully they're not that fragile, but who knows - these are weird times), may they get over it nice and quick.

You meant no offense, you were perfectly clear insofar as your use of language, and we all have better things to do than nitpick.

Hang in there, girlfriend.

Peace Celia Farber. You are a truth-telling warrior.

The biggest wrong one can commit is being right. I mean correct, not right nor left behind
