What source would you look at to determine which vaccines are truly safe for newborns and children today? Are all vaccines toxic? Looking for a dependable author. Thanks
Thanks for the offer. I'm more interested in getting these issues discussed than making money from them. If money gets to be an issue I'll let you know.
Interesting. This is the first time I've read any of your work.
Do you know whether what you call a cherry plum tree is a Mirabella plum tree? One grew so well in my late-childhood home in Adelaide that some time after I moved out my parents cut it down. It was crowding everything around it out. I was a bit sad about that, because most things were very hard to grow in that sloping clay soil, and it produced a huge crop each year. The plums were very nice stewed, but it was hard to make good use of them all.
I'm horrified and saddened to hear of Russians behaving badly in Ukraine. I wonder, though, whether your sources are reliable. While I don't keep up with his reports, Russell “Texas” Bentley in Donetsk has blamed the Ukrainian forces of false-flag attacks, in particular the one in which women and children were burned alive in a basement (of a theatre?). He said the building showed telltale signs of having been blown up from inside rather than from shelling, and that he is an explosives expert.
The easier question is the cherry plum. I had never seen them before coming to Ukraine. Here it is known as the алыча. It is not much like a cherry.
Our soil is sandy, hardly any clay at all. The trees are scattered all over the neighborhood. Although I do not see seedlings under this one – kind of a surprise, because the plum tree is surrounded by sprouts – I suspected it replicates itself pretty well.
The Russians are absolute masters of propaganda. It has deep roots – half a year ago I posted reviews of Custine's two century old Letters from Russia, then Homo Sovieticus. Browse through my old blogs and you'll find quite a few book reviews.
Quite a few of us have been taken in. I wrote a favorable review of MH17 and the New Cold War just before this war started back in February. I had an open mind about Oliver Stone's movie Ukraine in Flames. At this point I think we were all taken in. My more pertinent review is of The Fourth Political Theory by Alexander Dugin, Putin's pet philosopher. He really believed that Russia had a manifest destiny to dominate every Slavic speaking country.
The Ukrainians had no such delusions. The Russians have been brutal in every war they have fought. Read my review of Putin's Wars. Search online to see how they behave themselves in Crimea, Japan, Finland and the first and second world wars. They were certainly brutal here during the Holodomor.
The Azov POWs in Olinevka surrendered because they were in an untenable position. They hoped for some sort of humane treatment. It appears they are not getting it.
The brutality of Russian troops is legendary, not sure why. As I recall the Germans in WW2 fled away from the Russians to avoid capture and death. My ex-wife among them as a child in Berlin.
We lack media to understand the issue in Donbas, but clearly the Russians violated earlier agreements. Claiming a piece of Ukraine can remove itself without agreement from the government is a violation of norms. The mixed population there needed time to decide and lobby. Who can know the truth without objective reporting?
Graham,

It isn't easy. I've read Bobby Kennedy Jr, Joseph Mercola and others strongly in the anti-vax camp. Here's a more balanced, little-read book.

Thank you Graham!
By the way, I'm not sure if you have a paid subscription. I'd be happy to upgrade and become a paid subscriber. I regularly follow your newsletter.
