Recent posts from China indicate that the Chinese Communists are
taking advantage of the Ukraine situation, and are fully mobilizing
for war against Taiwan and the West later this year.

This is a very interesting subject, that I've heard both ways.
Western intelligence sources have repeatedly said that Russia has
moved its Far East troops to Ukraine, but here you have a Chinese
source apparently claiming that Russia's best troops are in the Far
East. Which is true?

The most important point, and one that is rarely mentioned, is that
the Chinese Communists consider Russia's Far East and Vladivostok to
be historical Chinese territories -- like Taiwan, the South China Sea,
Hong Kong, parts of India and Central Asia -- and that China lost
Russia's Far East because of its "unfair treaties" delusion.

Russia knows this, and knows that the Chinese Communists will invade
the Far East and Vladivostok if given the chance, just as they would
invade Taiwan.

So why is China supposedly claiming that Russia's elite troops are in
the Far East? They really couldn't say otherwise, since the Russian's
would feel threatened that a Far East invasion might be imminent,
along with Taiwan. China is certainly going to double-cross the idiot
Putin, just as Hitler double-crossed the idiot Stalin, but China has
to keep Russia as an ally to support its delusional insanity of world
domination.

Does Russia have elite troops in the Far East? There are certainly
some in the Vladivostok Naval Base, and my guess is that there are
enough so that the Russians can believe that they're safe from a
Chinese invasion, while most of them have been transferred to Ukraine.
So it's possible that both the Western and Chinese claims are true.

It could be both.

AstraZeneca vaccine may increase risk of serious neurological condition
Scientists believe the jab’s Trojan horse delivery system could be causing a rise in Guillain-Barré syndrome cases

The AstraZeneca vaccine may increase the risk of the serious neurological condition Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with the jab’s Trojan horse delivery system possibly to blame, scientists believe, in a discovery which may apply to similar vaccines.

GBS is a rare condition which causes muscle numbness and pain, and can hinder movement, walking, swallowing and, sometimes, even breathing.

It is commonly caused by the gastroenteritis bug Campylobacter, which has a surface coating which looks slightly human, and so can sometimes trigger the body to attack its own nerves instead of invading germs, leading to GBS.

Now, scientists at University College London (UCL) have found a rise in cases of GBS in the first two to four weeks after the AstraZeneca vaccine, but not in other vaccines, such as Pfizer or Moderna.

Like many vaccines, the Oxford jab uses a weakened chimp adenovirus to deliver the coronavirus spike protein into the body, and scientists have speculated that a reaction to adenovirus may be responsible for the rise in cases.

Adenovirus usually causes the common cold, but scientists are starting to think it may also mimic human cells in a similar way to Campylobacter, confusing the immune system into attacking the body.

Lead author Prof Michael Lunn (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) said: “At the moment we don’t know why a vaccine may cause these very small rises in GBS.

“It may be that a non-specific immune activation in susceptible individuals occurs, but if that were the case similar risks might apply to all vaccine types.

“It is therefore logical to suggest that the simian adenovirus vector, often used to develop vaccines, including AstraZeneca’s, may account for the increased risk.”

Unusual spike in GBS reports
Adenovirus-based vaccines are used against a wide variety of pathogens, tuberculosis, HIV and malaria.

GBS affects about 1,500 people in the UK each year and 30 to 40 per cent of cases have no known causes, leading researchers to suspect that adenovirus could be a factor.

During the 1976 swine flu vaccination campaign in the USA, there was a small increase in GBS associated with the flu jab at that time, leading scientists to question whether the Covid jabs could have a similar effect.

To find out, UCL researchers carried out a population-based study of NHS data in England to track GBS case rates against vaccination rollout.

Between January to October 2021, 996 GBS cases were recorded in the UK National Immunoglobulin Database, but there was an unusual spike in GBS reports occurring between March and April 2021.

For these two months there were about 140 cases per month compared to historical rates of about 100 per month - a 40 per cent increase.

Analysis showed 198 GBS cases (20 per cent) occurred within six weeks of the first-dose Covid-19 vaccination in England.

Overall, following a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine there were 5.8 excess GBS cases per million doses of vaccine, equating to an absolute total excess between January-July 2021 of between 98-140 cases.

The rate is still significantly lower than the one in 1,000 rate of GBS associated with Campylobacter.

Data suggest Johnson & Johnson vaccine raises GBS risk
Recent data from the US also suggests that the Johnson & Johnson Janssen vaccine - which also uses an adenovirus entry system - raises the risk of GBS to similar levels as the AstraZeneca jab.

“We know that Pfizer and Moderna don’t cause BDS but Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca do and the only commonality link is an adenovirus vector,” added Prof Lund.

“Johnson & Johnson is not the same one because they use a human adenovirus but it’s similar and the implications are broad because adenoviruses are used in quite a lot of vaccines and genetic therapies.

“The benefits from these vaccines and drugs are huge and the risk is tiny and there aren’t that many viral vectors you can use, but it’s good that the public are aware of the risks.

“And theoretically, if we know what virus is causing GBS, we can turn it off and we might be able to prevent disease progression.”

The new research was published in the journal Brain.

Vaccine benefits ‘continue to outweigh potential risks’
An AstraZeneca spokesman said: “Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) has been reported very rarely following vaccination with Vaxzevria. Vaccination of any kind is a known risk factor for GBS and it is noted in the manuscript that the small number of GBS cases appears similar to increases previously seen in other mass vaccination campaigns.

“It should also be noted that in the UK, Vaxzevria had been administered to more people than any other vaccine during the time frame studied in the manuscript.

“The study observes that the small numbers of cases should be compared to how many infections, hospitalisations and deaths our vaccine has prevented due to Covid-19. Current estimates show that globally the vaccine has helped prevent 50 million Covid-19 cases, five million hospitalisations, and to have saved more than one million lives.

“The EMA and other international bodies including the WHO, have all stated that the benefits of vaccination continue to outweigh any potential risks.”

When a harvest fails in a country it is usually the job of its government to purchase extra food stocks from abroad. But, that hasn’t been possible in Sri Lanka.

Colombo owes £21 billion to lenders over the next five years. This includes repayment of over £5 billion of high-interest loans to Beijing, as well as to international financial markets and the Asian Development Bank, after borrowing beyond its means to fund exorbitant infrastructure projects.

Already Sri Lanka has been forced to lease the use of its new deep water port, Hambantota, to China in lieu of previous payments.

This week, Dr Wijeydasa Rajapakshe, a prominent Sri Lankan MP, accused China of economic invasion, debt diplomacy and sowing corruption in the country.

“It is a total disaster. The country has never faced the kind of food poverty as it does now and I think the finger of responsibility rests almost entirely on the government,” said Charu Lata Hogg, Associate Fellow in the Asia Program at Chatham House.

“There were also enough examples out there from the many African countries who have over borrowed from China and Sri Lanka could have learnt from this.”
