    Did CIA’s Fake Vaccination Program in Pakistan Help Fuel a Global Emergency?

    avatarBy Updated:No Comments1 Min Read

    Obama, Clinton & Co sat in the White House and watched the extra-judicial execution of Bin Laden. They used a fake polio vaccination programme to get at him. Is it possible to imagine such a programme being set up in Washington or London? This utter disregard for human life is beyond racism. It illustrates yet again the moral depravity of US governments for whom, as Madeleine Albright infamously confirmed, the price is always ‘worth it’. The US claims to be a moral leader. It is. Every autocratic ruler from Putin to Assad to Al-Sisi is happy to run his own war on terror, and the price as we can see in Chechnya and Syria and Egypt, is worth it.
    Gerry.

    “What has the war on terror really accomplished? Not only do you have these extremist groups able to expand their areas of operation, but now youā€™ve got a huge public health crisis in Pakistan…..because of this war, a functioning program, the Lady Health Worker program, that used very little money to provide basic healthcare to millions ofā€”millions of Pakistani women and children, is now essentially being scrapped.”

    Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.
