China has discovered a powerful drug to kill the new crown, which can suppress virus replication ten thousand times, and traditional Chinese medicine is still a treasure trove! 2022-05-13 15:50:02 Source: Respiratory doctor Hu Yang Shanghai report 85622

In January 2020, at the beginning of the new crown epidemic, China began to screen for effective drugs for the new crown virus, and fenugreek was also one of the candidate drugs on the screening platform. After comparison, it was found that the drug's effect on inhibiting the new crown virus was significantly better than other drugs. The drug, 10uM (micromol/L) of fenugreek can inhibit the replication of coronavirus by "15393 times," which can be regarded as the king of killing the new coronavirus in vitro.

It is a chemical substance extracted from Phyllostachys chinensis. Molecular formula: C37H38N2O6, molecular weight: 606.71. The reason why it is selected for extraction is from the medicinal properties of the traditional Chinese medicine. Detoxification, expelling wind and dampness. It can be used to treat sore gums, sore throat, stomach pain and other related inflammations. Urinary tract infections can also be used. It can treat other diseases, such as edema, boils on the skin, joint pain, redness and swelling caused by rheumatic diseases, and heat pain, which can be conditioned, indicating that the drug can kill some infectious diseases The role of pathogens.

In fact, there are also cases of extracting medicinal ingredients from plants in Western medicine. For example, salicylic acid, the precursor of aspirin, which was first used for antipyretic and analgesic, was extracted from willow bark, and ancient Greece also recorded the use of willow to relieve pain. Coincidentally, Li Shizhen also recorded a similar usage. It can be seen that the use of plants to treat diseases is not unique to traditional Chinese medicine. However, the outstanding feature of traditional Chinese medicine is that it systematically summarizes and summarizes the pharmacological effects of all things in the world, most of which are the essence. We can still use the prescriptions summed up by our ancestors to cure diseases and save people. In the modern society, traditional Chinese medicine books can play a role. For example, the reason why Tu Youyou chose Artemisia annua as one of the research objects for the extraction of malaria drugs is because Artemisia annua has anti-malarial properties in the classics of traditional Chinese medicine. Effect. Otherwise, one by one screening among the thousands of species in the world does not know when to screen.

Therefore, the classics of traditional Chinese medicine are still the treasures in the world and the crystallization of the wisdom of countless ancestors. Although there are also some bizarre records of medicinal effects, most of them can withstand scrutiny and verification. Conscientiously develop medicine that may be able to solve problems that cannot be solved today in the future. problem.

Greg Reese speaks about America's position regarding nuclear war, how the U.S. came to the conclusion "With weapon exchanges, nobody can win a nuclear war," in an attack from Russia. This is a problem for the U.S. now because Russia is playing the game with their own rules. Greg explains how our U.S. Ohio calss subs built in the 1980's, outfitted with "Trident" missles are not capable of reaching Russian targets while in port, which is where most of them were made despite Russia's threats of nuclear war. The Russian Subs are loaded with Intercontinental Balistic Missles that are capable of reaching U.S. targets while in port. But they are not a port, Russia has made all of their active Subs weapons ready for war with NATO. The missles the U.S. does have under it's nuclear umbrella that are capable of reaching Russia are land based missles that are outdated and have gone Untested for over 30 years while Russia has been testing the entire time and have built advanced tactical Nukes and are ready. Russia believes NATO has these same Nukes built in the U.S. 30 years ago, and assume NATO will not be able to defend itself.

Greg does not mention this news but I heard Russia targetd the Cook and fried it, with this EMP device reportedly invented by TESLA many years ago. Russia offered it to the USA for free so the threat of Nuclear war would end, At the time President Obama, refused this gift, for personal reason I'm sure. But the real threat is an EMP device that Russia has, and have used, "USS Cook" had its entire electronic system fried and was powerless, having to be towed into port, when a Russian MIG had this device installed in the belly of the aircraft, flew by hypersonically turned its belly towards the Cook, activated the device, then flew off, why? The USS Cook was in their waters. It was also rumored the "USS Eisenhour" was another Russian target in the Atlantic, it too

[This guy is a fucking joke! LOL - Make up you fucking mind idiot!

Shaun King logged back on to Twitter to clap back at Donald Trump Jr. — a day after the controversial Black Lives Matter activist had apparently left the site following Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of the social media giant.

King on Monday appeared to delete his account for good after Twitter’s board announced that it had accepted Musk’s offer to buy the firm and take it private, with some users tweeting out screenshots of King’s blank home page.

When King’s Twitter status became a trending topic, Don Jr. tweeted that the possibility of his deleting his account would “alone” be worth $44 billion.](https://nypost.com/2022/04/26/shaun-king-returns-to-twitter-to-hit-back-at-donald-trump-jr/)

So you say not true? No evidence? Leave it to the people to decide...

This guy "Dziok" makes a lot of sense in this statement, Maybe the truth lies in where NOBODY is ever speaking out against any RRN articles, something deep to consider before one jumps on the bullshit wagon....and call RRN a bunch of full of shitters...Still there are articles in there that do not pertain to GITMO and parallel things we hear out there...Like this one, not too far out of the norm for me... Military Advises Trump: “No More Interviews”

If so, hey allow us all a few minutes of complete happiness as we endulge in what we all in here want for our kids future!

Robert Dziok Reply to Freddy Benson 6 days ago For the benefit of those not aware (e.g. those new to this site) and because this is a Military Tribunal resulting in sentence of execution I will point this out again. RRN has been reporting on Military Arrests, Tribunals and Executions for over a year now. No Military Tribunal Prosecutor/Officer or Defense Attorney has ever spoken out against reference to themselves in any RRN articles. These are career high level Military no nonsense individuals who would never allow such to continue if false. Especially since it involves matters of National Security. RRN articles get hundreds of thousands of views. MB has stated his sources are people in day to day contact with President Trump and the Military. MB has stated he stands by his articles and sources and any disclaimer is only on.the advice of legal for protection. MB has stated he reports what he is given. As such some is likely transcript in part or whole of tribunals in some form. MB has pointed out the advanced technology of CGI, Deep Fakes, Doubles and Masks. MB and his site have been under attack from day one by Satanic Globalists, Deep State, Traitor Trolls, etc spewing propaganda, lies and deception while increasing the volume and devious means of attack (e.g. Feigning support for to gain false credibility and then withdraw such and attack. Trying to plant False/Absurd doubt to distract from TRUTH. Falsely claim to be a RRN site Admin other than MB. Large scale DDOS attacks.).

This crew who are not true journalist, these are fiction writers for a comedy show!

Every presidency has iconic photographs. But there’s nothing else like this one.

By James Parker] Editor’s Note: This article is one of 50 in a series about Trump's first two years as president.

Article 1: of 50 total

“For clarification,” the Church of Satan helpfully tweeted, “this is not a Satanic ritual.” So what is it? Something sinister, surely, some species of power Sabbath or midnight summit. Three rulers of men, three pairs of hands on an orb of white light. On the left, smiling and fatuously composed, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of Egypt; in the center, high-shouldered and witchily titillated, King Salman of Saudi Arabia; and on the right, basking, gently broiling in the orb’s glow, Donald Trump. Of the three men, he appears the happiest, the most conspicuously nourished by this wacky, inhuman light. See how it searches out the paler densities of his face, how it touches off the golden flare of his eyebrows. Behind him is the enigma: Melania Trump, vacant and flawlessly intense, like a pole vaulter clearing her mind before an attempt at the world record.

I have waited in vain these two Trumpy years for an American equivalent of the English word naff to present itself. Naff, which has its roots, possibly, in Polari or gay slang, indicates an extreme of unstylishness—not just bad taste or no taste, but a vulgarity so vast and humorless that it precludes the possibility of taste altogether. Bright-red baseball hats: naff. Wanting a military parade: naff! The first family on inauguration night, listening from behind a plastic screen to a performance by 3 Doors Down: a blazing nirvana of naffness.

When the orb image first circulated, during Donald Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia in early 2017, the internet giggled nervously. The orb was a crystal ball, a node of freemasonry, a concentration of diabolic energy, and the three kings were its slaves. Hydra, the Illuminati, Saruman the White, etc. Trump might as well have appeared astride a golden calf or greedily clutching a chalice of goat’s blood. But the point of the image is not its flavor of the occult; the point is its unbelievable, its almost otherworldly, naffness. As with other moments from the Trumpian spectacular—the dinner with Mitt Romney, the deflated Pope Francis—you do yourself an imaginative mischief, you blow your own mind, if you try to interpret it. There’s nothing to interpret. It’s right there. No magic, no secret, no esoteric conclave. Just this life-draining, futuristic, departure-lounge tawdriness. The vibe is catastrophic. The people look ill. Only Trump, chin raised, mouth set in bullion-faced complacency, appears healthy. He’s in his element.

After a couple hours of searching MSM and more, Using languages in both Russian, Ukrainian, there is still no certain conformation that "Gonzo" is deceased or alive.

USA news is saying nothing, that one of their citizens has gone missing, I wonder why? Would that draw attention for more Americans to go read about him and then read or watch video he has produced denouncing the Ukrainian Government, the truth about the "Azoz" and "Zelenskyy?" Not one (that I could find) USA news source is touching this story! Kinda makes you go, Hmmmm? I mean we're America! What do we got to hide?

There is one article from a Russian news site MKRU that does in fact read that Gonzo is in the hands of the "Azov" and if so, imho, there will be little hope, but let's not give up hope on him yet...

...........

⭐⭐ US citizen Gonzalo Lira fell into the hands of "Azov" and disappeared The journalist criticized the Kiev authorities and wrote about the crimes of the Nazis

A US citizen of Chilean origin, blogger and director Gonzalo Lira, was probably executed by neo-Nazis from the Azov terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation. “Kidnapped, tortured and killed by the Kraken unit,” writes American military analyst Scott Ritter. Lira disappeared in Kharkiv a few days ago, his last posts on Telegram and Twitter were made on April 15.

As social media users suggest, Gonzalo Lira could have been captured and executed by Sergei Velichko, nicknamed “Chile”, from the Azov special unit “Kraken”, operating in the Kharkiv region. Earlier, Velichko and his "brother" Konstantin Nemichev appeared in footage with the executions of Russian prisoners of war. It was even reported that they were captured by Russian special forces, but this information was not confirmed.

The Kraken, by the way, is a mythical sea monster, a giant squid that attacks ships and kills sailors. Only people with a very perverted imagination could name their unit after this disgusting creature.

Oleg Yasinsky, a well-known expert on Latin America, told MK about who Gonzalo Lira is.

  • I don't know him personally, but I read his publications. Therefore, the ending of this story did not surprise me. the expert said. - It is known that he was born in the United States, he has dual citizenship - American and Chilean. He spent most of his life in the USA. His life is much more closely connected with America than with Chile. Although Lira is a very famous family of Chilean aristocrats, they are by no means political migrants. In the United States, their family, most likely, just got on some business-related matters. We can say that he belonged to the Chilean elite.

Lira has lived in Kharkiv since 2016, as he married a Ukrainian. He began visiting the country in 2012.

  • Before the start of the special operation in Ukraine, Lira was such a fairly traditional American, though he was against globalization. Yasinsky says. – At the same time, he was not a left-wing activist; rather, he was right-wing.

With the beginning of the special operation, he took a very clear anti-government, pro-Russian position. He very specifically and accurately exposed many things, Nazism in Ukraine. Those of his publications that I saw were very honest and fair. His behavior can be called heroic, since he knew perfectly well what could await him. I don't know what he hoped for. Now a group of Ukrainian Nazis "Kraken" is suspected of his abduction and murder, because they threatened him. They promised to capture and kill him.

  • Is anything known about the reaction from Chile and the United States to this tragedy?

  • The Chilean Foreign Ministry said it was trying to conduct some kind of investigation, but I don't think that Kharkiv has the right conditions to find out something. The American side did not react at all, although it is their direct duty to deal with the fate of their citizen who disappeared in Ukraine. The story is convoluted, but all things considered, he has little chance of being alive right now, unfortunately.

Gonzalo Lira is also known as a novelist and film producer. His book "Acrobat" was filmed by Miramax. He ran a YouTube channel in opposition to the Kiev authorities, where he talked about the atrocities of Ukrainian militants in Mariupol and exposed the fakes of Ukrainian and Western media.

Before his disappearance, he claimed that he was being pursued by the SBU, and warned that if he did not get in touch within 12 hours, then his name could be included in the list of opposition politicians, journalists and bloggers abducted or killed in Ukraine that he published. "If you haven't heard from me for 12 hours or more, put me on this list," the Chilean wrote.

RT NEWS ARTICLE:

⭐⭐ My personal journey into the drama-infused existence of Gonzalo Lira began in mid-February 2022, when I appeared as part of a panel discussion organized by Joe Lauria of Consortium News (CN), which included the British writer Alexander Mercouris.

It was just prior to the Russian “special military operation” kicking off in Ukraine. Alexander and I subsequently appeared on several CN-hosted panels to discuss the war in Ukraine, and in conversations following the broadcast he mentioned a fellow he called “Gonzo Lira” and asked if I followed him. I indicated that I did not, and Alexander replied that I should, as “Gonzo” resided in Kharkov, and had some first-hand insights into the conflict that I might find interesting. Alexander asked if he could forward my contact information to Gonzo Lira, and I agreed.

I must admit that I did not follow up on Alexander’s recommendation to follow Gonzo and had forgotten about our conversation about Mr. Lira when, sometime in late March, I was suddenly contacted by the man himself, who asked if I would agree to be interviewed by him for his YouTube channel. I did a quick Google search, and read several items about Gonzalo Lira, AKA Coach Red Pill, including a particularly unflattering article written by Mark Hay of The Daily Beast. I quickly decided that if Gonzo was making The Daily Beast uncomfortable, then I was more than happy to be interviewed by him.

The setup for the interview, which took place on March 30, was informative in its own right. Alexander's colleague Alex Christoforou was providing technical assistance, and because of connectivity issues due to Gonzalo broadcasting from Kharkov (literally a war zone), the YouTube platform could not be accessed, and instead we shifted to Twitter Spaces (a somewhat ironic choice, given my later permanent suspension).

Putin calls off assault on Ukraine's last Mariupol hold out Read more Putin calls off assault on Ukraine's last Mariupol hold out But the most interesting aspect of the pre-interview technical discussions was a to-and-fro between Gonzalo and Mr. Christoforou about Mr. Lira’s safety. Beyond the obvious reality of broadcasting from a city under attack (air-raid sirens were sounding in the background during this time), Gonzalo expressed a clear concern that he was being sought out by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). I opined that perhaps broadcasting from Kharkov might not be the wisest decision under these circumstances, a concern echoed by Mr. Christoforou, but this was dismissed by Gonzalo. “I’m taking precautions,” he said, without further elaboration.

The Twitter Spaces session was enjoyable, with Gonzalo asking relevant questions and, in the true spirit of the journalist/interviewer, allowed me to answer without any undue commentary from his end – something so-called “professional” journalists in the mainstream media should do more often. According to Mr. Lira, it was “well received” by his followers.

According to Scott Ritter, he has announced that he cannot "confirm" Gonzalo Lira was killed, b.elow is Scott's "Telegram" account and his most recent post. There is little to no, information regarding Gonzalo's fate as of 6:15am EST - 04/21/2022

Below are the actual Telegram messages Scott sent.

ScottRitter (18 hours ago) When Belorussian authorities pulled Roman Protasevich, a blogger who had served a combat tour in the neo-Nazi Azov battalion before working for Radio Free Europe’s Belarus channel out of Prague, off an airplane in May, 2021, on charges of inciting a political opposition (roughly the equivalent of sedition), the world went crazy, accusing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of trampling on free speech. Protasevich is alive and well, living under house arrest while awaiting trial. When reports emerged that Gonzo Lira, a Chilean social media “influencer” who resided in Kharkov, Ukraine, and who published online content critical of the Ukrainian government, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by the Kraken Unit, part of the Azov battalion affiliated with the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), the West is silent. Free speech isn’t a one way street. To remain silent in the murder of Gonzo Lira is to be complicit in his death, and the deaths of all journalists who pursue the truth, even if it runs counter to the mainstream narrative. Critical thinking should not be a death sentence. Unfortunately for Gonzo Lira, it seems it was.

Scott Ritter (13 hours ago) A point of clarification—I have no direct evidence that Gonzalo has been killed. I was clear I was referring to “reports emerging” about his demise. But Gonzo said any disappearance of more than 12 hours should be treated as if something bad had happened to him. It’s been five days. If this had been a New York Times reporter disappearing in Russian controlled territory, it would be headline news—especially if a Chechen “hunter killer” team had taken credit for his death. But with Gonzo—silence. Which was the whole purpose of the post: to raise awareness about his disappearance.

Who is Scott Ritter? William Scott Ritter Jr. (born July 15, 1961) is a former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer who served with the United Nations implementing arms control treaties, with General Norman Schwarzkopf in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm, and in Iraq, overseeing the disarmament of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), as a United Nations weapons inspector, from 1991 to 1998. He later became a critic of United States foreign policy in the Middle East. Following a 2011 law enforcement sting operation, he was convicted of unlawful contact with a minor and five other charges that resulted in two years of incarceration

[Norman Mailer’s inflammatory 1957 essay on the original “hipsters.”

Superficial Reflections on the Hipster ](https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/the-white-negro-fall-1957)

Our search for the rebels of the generation led us to the hipster. The hipster is an enfant terrible turned inside out. In character with his time, he is trying to get back at the conformists by lying low. . . . You can’t interview a hipster because his main goal is to keep out of a society which, he thinks, trying to make everyone over in its own image. He takes marijuana because it supplies him with experiences that can’t be shared with “squares.” He may affect a broad-brimmed hat or a zoot suit, but usually he prefers to skulk unmarked. The hipster may be a jazz musician; he is rarely an artist, almost never a writer. He may earn his living as a petty criminal, a hobo, a carnival roustabout or a free-lance moving man in Greenwich Village, but some hipsters have found a safe refuge in the upper income brackets as television comics or movie actors. (The late James Dean, for one, was a hipster hero.) . . . it is tempting to describe the hipster in psychiatric terms as infantile, but the style of his infantilism is a sign of the times, he does not try to enforce his will on others, Napoleon-fashion, but contents himself with a magical omnipotence never disproved because never tested. . . . As the only extreme nonconformist of his generation, he exercises a powerful if underground appeal for conformists, through newspaper accounts of his delinquencies, his structureless jazz, and his emotive grunt words.

—“Born 1930: The Unlost Generation” by Caroline Bird, Harper’s Bazaar, Feb. 1957 Probably, we will never be able to determine the psychic havoc of the concentration camps and the atom bomb upon the unconscious mind of almost everyone alive in these years. For the first time in civilized history, perhaps for the first time in all of history, we have been forced to live with the suppressed knowledge that the smallest facets of our personality or the most minor projection of our ideas, or indeed the absence of ideas and the absence of personality could mean equally well that we might still be doomed to die as a cipher in some vast statistical operation in which our teeth would be counted, and our hair would be saved, but our death itself would be unknown, unhonored, and unremarked, a death which could not follow with dignity as a possible consequence to serious actions we had chosen, but rather a death by deus ex machina in a gas chamber or a radioactive city; and so if in the midst of civilization—that civilization founded upon the Faustian urge to dominate nature by mastering time, mastering the links of social cause and effect—in the middle of an economic civilization founded upon the confidence that time could indeed be subjected to our will, our psyche was subjected itself to the intolerable anxiety that death being causeless, life was causeless as well, and time deprived of cause and effect had come to a stop.

The Second World War presented a mirror to the human condition which blinded anyone who looked into it. For if tens of millions were killed in concentration camps out of the inexorable agonies and contractions of super-states founded upon the always insoluble contradictions of injustice, one was then obliged also to see that no matter how crippled and perverted an image of man was the society he had created, it wits nonetheless his creation, his collective creation (at least his collective creation from the past) and if society was so murderous, then who could ignore the most hideous of questions about his own nature?

Worse. One could hardly maintain the courage to be individual, to speak with one’s own voice, for the years in which one could complacently accept oneself as part of an elite by being a radical were forever gone. A. man knew that when he dissented, he gave a note upon his life which could be called in any year of overt crisis. No wonder then that these have been the years of conformity and depression. A stench of fear has come out of every pore of American life, and we suffer from a collective failure of nerve. The only courage, with rare exceptions, that we have been witness to, has been the isolated courage of isolated people.

Someone needs to stop Senator Coons, I cannot believe for one second he doesn't know what the fuck is really going on over there!

Here is a video of "Face the Nation" interviewing this Senator Coon

US Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware), a politician described by media outlets as President Joe Biden’s closest Senate ally, has raised the idea of deploying American troops to fight Russians in Ukraine, saying he fears the former Soviet republic will “become the Syria of Eastern Europe.”

“The American people cannot turn away from this tragedy in Ukraine,” Coons said on Sunday in a CBS News interview. “I think the history of the 21st century turns on how fiercely we defend freedom in Ukraine and that Putin will only stop when we stop him.”

Asked by host Margaret Brennan about his recent comments calling for US leaders to discuss troop deployments to Ukraine, Coons said policy makers must consider the “level of brutality” exhibited by Russian forces. He credited Biden with pulling Western allies together to impose “crushing sanctions” on Russia, but suggested that more direct action may be needed as Russian President Vladimir Putin raises the stakes.

“If Vladimir Putin, who has shown us how brutal he can be, is allowed to just continue to massacre civilians, to commit war crimes throughout Ukraine without NATO, without the West coming more forcefully to his aid, I deeply worry that what's going to happen next is that we will see Ukraine turn into Syria,” Coons said. Presumably, he meant to say that the US and NATO need to come more forcefully to Ukraine’s aid, not Putin’s.

Coons worked as an intern in Biden’s Senate office in the 1990s and was elected to fill his former Senate seat in 2010. He was described by the New York Times as “Biden’s eyes and ears in the Senate,” while Politico called him “the Biden whisperer.” Media outlets called him a “shadow secretary of state” after the White House sent him on a diplomatic mission to Ethiopia last year.

Like Biden, Coons has previously spoken out against sending American forces to Ukraine. He seldom, if ever, contradicts Biden’s views, so his change of rhetoric raised concerns over what the commander-in-chief might be considering.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is dragging out negotiations on a special operation of the Russian Federation with the help of empty promises about the fulfillment of the set conditions. This statement was made by the speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin. He noted that Zelensky should withdraw troops from the Donbass, as well as fix obligations on Crimea.

“He wants to buy time while simultaneously turning to NATO for military assistance,” Volodin wrote on his telegram channel. He drew parallels between Zelensky’s statement about Ukraine’s readiness to discuss the issue of refusal to join NATO and the status of Crimea and the subsequent staging in Bucha.

According to Volodin, Zelensky must immediately withdraw troops from the territory of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as document the recognition of Crimea and the non-bloc status of Ukraine. This is the only way the president can show concern for the citizens of Ukraine, the speaker believes.

The special operation of the Russian Federation to demilitarize Ukraine began on the morning of February 24. Since then, both sides have held a series of negotiations, but all of them were unsuccessful. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the talks had stalled because Kiev had moved away from the agreements reached in Istanbul. Members of the negotiating group from Ukraine have previously admitted that they coordinate their every step in negotiations with Western partners.
