Chelmno Extermination Camp By Alex Grobman
February 02, 2023 – Highlighting: “Chelmno, A Small Village in Europe: The First Nazi Mass Extermination Camp” by Shmuel Krakowski. Jerusalem: Yad Vashem. 2009. ISBN: 978-965-308-322-5.
Chełmno is a small village in Kolo Country, Poland, approximately 30 miles northwest of Łódź along the Ner River, writes Shmuel Krakowski, who for many years directed the Yad Vashem Archives and served as a researcher at Yad Vashem’s International Institute of Holocaust Research. After the Germans conquered Poland in September 1939, they renamed the city Kulmhof. This “placid village” became the first standing location for “intensive mass murder by gassing” with the ultimate goal of murdering European Jewry. After technical, administrative adjustments and improvements were completed, the methods were duplicated in the other extermination camps. As the Germans refined the process of annihilating Jews, the daily death toll increased from hundreds to thousands and then to tens of thousands within a short period. “The horrific practice had its start at Chełmno,” Krakowski noted.
The Germans decided that all the Jews living in the Reichsgau Wartheland (the Wartheland or the Warthegau for short) were to be murdered at Chelmno. After they occupied the western and central parts of Poland in 1939, they annexed the western portion of the country and divided it into three regions: Pomerania, the Warthegau, and Upper Silesia. In central Poland, they established a new administrative entity known as the Generalgouvernement with four districts: Warsaw, Lublin, Radom, and Krakow. The Warthegau, which was established on October 25, 1939, consisted of 43,905 square kilometers, and incorporated the former Polish districts of Poznań (Posen), which was redivided into three districts: Łódź, Poznań and Inowrocław (Hohensalza in German). Before WWII, there we 420,000 Jews in the Warthegau residing in 150 towns and village, though the majority lived in Łódź, Poland’s second largest city known the textile-manufacturing center. More than half of the Jews in Łódź worked in industry.
Secretary Blinken, Middle East reality and US interests Yoram Ettinger
February 1st, 2023 – Secretary Blinken’s January 29-31, 2023 visit to Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian Authority was another one of his milestones, well-intentioned – but erroneous – Middle East legacies. It has backfired on vital US interests, in general, and the pursuit of regional stability and peace, in particular.
Secretary Blinken in Egypt
*A major issue raised by President El-Sisi, during his meeting with Secretary Blinken, was the volcanic turbulence in Libya, which has traumatized the region since 2011, fueling Muslim Brotherhood terrorism in Egypt and overall Islamic terrorism in Africa and Europe.
*This turbulence was triggered by a US-led NATO military offensive against the Gaddafi regime, and was masterminded, largely, by key policy-makers in the Obama-Biden Administration. They included Antony Blinken, then National Security Advisor to Vice President Biden, and were led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, her close advisor and Director of Policy Planning Jake Sullivan, UN Ambassador Susan Rice and Special Assistant to President Obama Samantha Power.

Newsweek: “It’s Time for the Scientific Community to Admit We Were Wrong About COVID and It Cost Lives | Opinion” By JOHN LEAKE
Newsweek just published an editorial by Kevin Bass, a medical school student in Texas, about how the official scientific establishment in the United States got it wrong about COVID-19. At the risk of sounding immodest, all of the realizations that he catalogues in his essay were apparent to me by May of 2020, almost three years go.
People often ask me why I perceived at the beginning of this mess that our public health officials were lying to us. The answer is simple: I am a longstanding student of history (including medical history) and of human nature. It is precisely a lack of education in history that made so many people susceptible to being manipulated and defrauded by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex.
Students of political history have often marveled that the Anglo-Irish statesman, Edmund Burke, made all of his accurate predictions about the French Revolution in 1790. Burke foresaw that the Jacobins would grossly mismanage everything and then resort to terror when none of their harebrained schemes worked. He predicted the bloody fiasco would end with the accession to power of a military commander.
Three years after Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France was published, the Reign of Terror began. Nine years later, Napoleon Bonaparte came to power through a combination of subterfuge and soldiers with fixed bayonets.
How did Burke make these predictions? He knew history and he understood human nature. He therefore saw that the Jacobins had no idea what they were doing. None of their abstract schemes acknowledged the complex reality of human affairs. Their entire conception of reality was ideological, not practical, and they insisted on imposing it with fanatical zeal.
Precisely the same is true of the Vaccine Syndicate that ran the official Pandemic Response. Its leaders are votaries of the COVID-19 Vaccine Cult, and all of their policies were in the service of getting a needle in every arm. Their monolithic policy totally ignored the complex reality of the problem.
Those familiar with history (and medical history) could see by April of 2020 that “The Science” constantly invoked by our government health agencies was an ideological construct—an Orthodoxy—and not true science. True scientific inquiry was conducted by doctors in the field who had the courage to treat the illness instead of waiting for the heralded “vaccine.”
Kevin Bass’s Newsweek is a good start. May the rest of the Official “Follow the Science” Establishment get out their forks and knives and start eating crow.
Deep State Metastasized by John L. Kachelman, Jr
The Answer Is In the Hands of Each Citizen
January 31, 2023 at 1:15pm – “Instead of politicians, let the monkeys govern the countries; at least they will steal only the bananas!” This quote well serves to frame the current feelings of citizens in many nations of the world!
Over the past thirty years I have worked with forty different foreign nations and the USA. I can honestly say that in ALL nations, I have wrestled and continue to wrestle with corruption from the politicians and the bureaucrats. It is a constant and discouraging struggle not only for those seeking to assist but for those citizens in each nation. In every action, the right thing to do is opposed by arrogant, callous greed and discouragement is increased by ignorant critics. Often, I am tempted to throw up my hands and say “Forget it all!” But then the commitment to right overrules and I return once again to the war against corruption’s obfuscation.
In 2017 the term “Deep State (DS)” entered use and referred to the idea that there is a cadre of career employees inside a government who are working to manipulate government policy and undermine elected leaders or political appointees by slow-walking requests or dribbling leaks of classified information. These people are positioned in the military, intelligence fields, elected offices, and every bureaucratic agency.
I addressed this evil in an earlier article noting: Undergirding all governing is a large minion of faceless workers. These are the “Chiefs.” And the “Chiefs” actually run operations. Those elected are the “Faces”; those in the background are the “Chiefs.”
Our current national distress is fueled by the disintegration of civility, by the devilish strategy to divide the population with hate-filled propaganda ploys, and by dissolving our personal and national security. We stand in a precarious position orchestrated by the Deep State. It is discouraging.
But! Our current situation is not unique in the world’s history. Historical facts buttress our faith against fear. Our confidence can be firm. Our resolve must be deliberate.
Recently I was reminded of the historical fact of the DS unraveling a government. This first account takes us back to the later years of the Roman Empire. Read and observe how closely the politics then are practiced now.

The Censorship of Mercola — A Timeline Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- While the drug and chemical industries have attacked and tried to discredit me for years, blatant censorship didn’t begin until 2020, after the outbreak of the COVID pandemic
- The timeline of censorship and free-speech right violations against me began in the summer of 2020, when the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to take action against me for recommending vitamin D
- The attacks against me really heated up though after I published a peer-reviewed scientific paper on the benefits of vitamin D at the end of October 2020. Christmas Eve 2020, attorney general Letitia James sent a cease and desist notice, demanding we stop sharing information about how immune-boosting nutritional supplements might lower your risk of COVID. The FDA also issued us a warning letter about the same
- Fabrications by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) have been the primary “evidence” cited by government officials intent on censoring me. The CCDH is linked to a number of technocratic centers within the globalist network through its board members
- In August 2021, after conducting an internal investigation, Facebook’s content policy director called out the falsehoods in the CCDH “Disinformation Dozen” report. CCDH preselected the 12 individuals listed in the report, and the narrative was based on nothing more than “a narrow set of 483 pieces of content over six weeks from only 30 groups, some of which are as small as 2,500 users”
