The reckoning for the crimes of coronavirus is in full process! Yesterday, President Trump signed an executive order banning federal funding for gain-of-function (GoF) research. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, said five days ago that she, along with Bhattacharya and RFK Jr., was investigating the GoF and the global US-funded biolab network, including Ukraine. So we have confirmation that the nefarious USAID biolab network and the USAID PREDICT project are under scrutiny. Trump and his team have achieved their goal. They already know where it's going. And that's just part of the public disclosure.

Trump and his team know that this will be considered a crime against humanity for those involved, as was the case with Hunter Biden, Soros, Metabiota, Ukraine, the CIA/USAID, etc. Now it's just a matter of ensuring justice is done and preventing something like this from happening again in the future. History of Gain-of-Function (GoF) 1947: Military launches bioweapons research 1969: Nixon bans it 1973: Bioweapons Charter bans it 2001: Patriot Act allows charter violations 2014: Obama outsources GoF to Wuhan 2025: Trump bans GoF The video was recorded yesterday when Trump signed the ban on bioweapons research in the presence of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. and NIH Director Dr. J. Bhattacharya. What I found most interesting was that the military justified their GoF research with “dual use,” i.e. the possibility of developing vaccines, but this never worked out.

The allegations that Marxism is reductive or economistic only make sense if one reads the economy as neutral market forces determining the fate of humans by chance; or in the sense of a trade-union bureaucrat whose understanding of the worker is restricted to the wage earner. Let us here first deal with why this restrictive view of the “economic” is something that Marx often criticizes.

Marx’s contribution to social theory was not simply to point to the historical-materialist basis of social life, but to propose that in order to get to this materialist basis the historical materialist must first understand that reality is not as it appears.

The “economy,” as it appears to us, is the sphere where we do an honest day’s work and get paid for it. Some wages might be low, others high. But the principle that structures this “economy” is that the capitalist and the worker are equal beings who engage in an equal transaction: the worker’s labor for a wage from the boss.

According to Marx, however, this sphere is “in fact a very Eden of the innate rights of man. There alone rule Freedom, Equality, Property and Bentham.” In this one stroke Marx shakes our faith in the fundamental props of modern society: our juridical rights. Marx is not suggesting that the juridical rights we bear as equal subjects are nonexistent or fictive, but that such rights are anchored in market relations. The transactions between workers and capitalists take the form – insofar as they are considered purely from the standpoint of market exchange – of exchange between legal equals. Marx is not arguing there are no juridical rights, but that they mask the reality of exploitation.

If what we commonly understand as the “economy” is then merely surface, what is this secret that capital has managed to hide from us? That its animating force is human labor.

As soon as we, following Marx, restore labor as the source of value under capitalism and as the expression of the very social life of humanity, we restore to the “economic” process its messy, sensuous, gendered, raced, and unruly component: living human beings capable of following orders – as well as of flouting them

Tithi Battacharya, How Not to Skip Class: Social Reproduction of Labor and the Global Working Class.

I know that I’ve recommended this piece 1,000 times at this point, but it’s really so good. I’m always amazed.
