Wow that's really disappointing. I felt like Sachs was coming around. Heading up the Lancet Commission revealed to him the degree of corruption behind Covid. For what it's worth, he got it right on the issue of the U.S. proxy war with Russia via Ukraine. Good clip from longer interview with Glenn Greenwald here: https://twitter.com/systemupdate_/status/1661787583699988498

my impression kinda similar Just Plain Bill. my 1st time reading Jeffrey Sachs. read his "US Foreign Policy Is a Scam Built on Corruption" included in Meryl's piece. it sounded like he had some strong points? re: the US's stupidity. and yes, if he's on Lancet's side...YIKES.

curious.

on a different important! note, i see that the state of New Hampshire introduced HB 1700-FN (2024 session)

"AN ACT prohibiting the intentional release of polluting emissions, including CLOUD SEEDING, WEATHER MODIFICATION, EXCESSIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIO FREQUENCY, and MICROWAVE RADIATION and making penalties for violation of such prohibition". SPONSORS: REP. Gerhard, Merr and Rep. Potenza, Straf. These are the good guys!!! will this EVER be in the news. sheeeesh!

i watch this manipulation of our weather everyday at our farmhouse in Pa. and everywhere we travel. these stratospheric aerosol injections change our weather patterns (see Dane Wiggington) and CREATE the very problem they claim to they want to "protect" us from - CLIMATE CHANGE. and so now... we have this threat - WHICH THEY HAVE CREATED - at the core of controlling "protecting" us. GASP!

i believe that New Hampshire is the 2nd U.S. state to potentially outlaw the spraying of aerosolized particulate matter into our skies - (neither safe nor effective!) -a phenomenon commonly referred to as "chemtrails"- chemtrails being a TRIGGER word. (see The People's Voice for more info on this).

Texas made history last year when state representatives looked into changing the law to ban dangerous atmospheric aerosol spraying without prior approval and testing of the chemicals being sprayed. where did that go? QUESTION: Does the current makeup of the State House and Senate suggest a success that this bill will ever move forward? gasp

Meryl, my question is..why is the aerosol spraying above our heads the LEAST DISCUSSED topic on the planet?

i often wonder how things might be very different if everyday folks could listen to the news reported in an UNBIASED and twisted fashion. we need a mainstream news channel to report real news now.

i meant i wish that ANY of the mainstream news reported in an unbiased and UN twisted fashion.

i know that Bobby Kennedy is an honest, honorable steward of our environment. i did send this HB 1700 information to his team. i hope he receives it and i pray that the people we elect to represent us are awake. 🙏🏼

JJ Couey did a very interesting video on Jeffrey after he did the first "lab leak reveal" interviews in 2022. You can always tell the controlled opp by looking for the bottom line: in his case the bottom line was to give MORE power the WHO! Who'd a thought ;)

I have to admit that I'm having a little trouble figuring out if this guy is friend or foe. I've heard him in numerous interviews during the last year or so, and in that time, he has always come off to me as someone willing to call out the powers-that-be and the incompetents.

But I've only paid any attention to him for a year or so; I have heard it commented that he has noticeably changed in the last couple of years. I see that "The Ages of Globalization" was published around 3-1/2 years ago, so its possible he was writing before he experienced some change in his perspective. Just a possibility.

He came out with this "whistleblower" type of image in 2022, on both Ukraine and lab leak stuff, even being interviewed by RFK Jr and Rustle Brand. But read between the lines and there's a dedicated globalist who wants more regulation by UN agencies. I've yet to see him really shift on anything. Be nice if he proves me wrong.

Ok, let's go chronologically through Sachs' work bio in the 1990s-2000s and world events. It's clear from his CV (on his website) that when USSR collapsed, Sachs was working in 1990-1992 in Finland, and he showed up in Russia in 1995-1999- when things were already predetermined economically before his arrival and oligarchy was set up.

Also, in all fairness, nobody in history before transitioned socialist economies (in Russia and China) into capitalism, so there bound to be mistakes in addition to nefarious plans. I'm not condoning what the Western vultures did to the former USSR, I'm just saying, the situation we currently find ourselves in the West is so dire that we are not in the position to throw away people like Sachs who are against the eternal US wars or can help curbing the WHO dictatorial powers, as it seems to position itself to usurp.

Sachs's CV in 1990-2001

Chair, Commission on Macroeconomics and Health for the WHO, 2000-2001

Member, Advisory Commission appointed by U.S. Congress, 1999-2000

Director, Harvard Institute for International Development, 1995-1999

Founder and Chair, Executive Committee, Institute of Economic Analysis, Moscow, 1994-1996

Visiting Professor of Macroeconomic Policy, World Institute of Development Economics Research (WIDER), United Nations University, Helsinki, Finland. 1990 - 1992

There's no question that he was all-in on Establishment policy back in those days. What is a question, as noted in comments above such as those by Leelee, is his transformation into someone that's recently taken to condemning current U.S. policy as stupid and counterproductive. He sounds authentic to me. He is accepted on The Duran as a legitimate commentator who views the U.S. role in Ukraine as hopelessly disconnected from reality.

Lol. Same goes for you! Stop projecting and do as you preach. No one especially me cares about who you are and what you think, except when you start responding in ignorant and disrespectful personal ways to comments that weren’t even directed to whoever you are in the first place.

Maybe a little more context could shed a little more light on this topic. Prof. Sachs published a great article on 12/26/23 regarding US Foreign Policy, and it is controversial I'm sure with the profiteers of these exercises to control the world... and we know they also control the narratives - is someone trying to create doubt about Prof. Sachs' patriotism and concern for our world and all it's inhabitants? https://open.substack.com/pub/petermcculloughmd/p/us-foreign-policy-is-a-scam-built?r=9g9qk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Sachs is very good on Ukraine, arguing that is essentially an unjustified proxy war on behalf of NATO. He was hopeless on Covid after getting off to a good start by detecting the vested interests behind the narrative on Covid origins.

Who is Jeffrey Sachs? -- Start by reading the following:

The Plunder of Russia in the 1990s

March 24, 2011 by paul likoudis

https://paullikoudis.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/the-plunder-of-russia-in-the-1990s/

It may have been Anne Williamson who later wrote that Sachs appears to be attempting to reinvent himself; but, he has never explained, let alone atoned, for his leading "Shock Therapy" role in plundering Russia.

I haven't researched Sachs enough to know where I stand on him. I seem to recall reading that Sachs was a fairly newly minted Harvard wiz-kid PhD when he joined Larry Summers' team. So, I'm wondering whether Sachs might have been a young, flexible morality, know-it-all PhD at that time, who now realizes that his role in Russia's "shock therapy" is not something he wants to advertise. Thus, he doesn't talk about it. But, it is strange (to me) that no one questions him on it.

Expand full comment

I heard him answer the allegation that he was advocating shock therapy back then in a fairly recent interview by an Indian journalist. He said he absolutely did not advocate pulling subsidies from the former Soviet states, for all the obvious reasons, and in fact was advocating something like $3B/year in aid. "What a bargain it would have been."

Somebody is running a narrative here, but it's not clear to me which narrative it is, or who is running it.

I'm not dazzled by any of this nonsense, just disturbed. As usual, MSM and governments are lying about everything. I also just read another Substack that I hope everyone will share with others: https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/food-war-the-globalists-attack-on?publication_id=257742&post_id=140457161&isFreemail=true&r=6gwmn

Jeffrey Sachs is a globalist whom we should trust a lot less far than we can throw him. For those interested in his coming-of-age story, his myth of origin, I recommend “The Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein (whom I do not otherwise recommend for anything). Just find him in the index and read those pages, a key passage from which describes the “oopsie” that cost Russia about 10% of its population.

“But the problem wasn’t only that the IMF and the Treasury hadn’t listened to Sachs, it was that Sachs had pushed hard for shock therapy before he had any guarantee that they would—a gamble for which millions [about 12-15 million] paid dearly [with their lives].” p.249

Well, as Richard Fish of Ally McBeal fame put it, “Bygones!” as he was there to make lots of money for himself and others and did so, and as Lewis Lapham put it in his 2006 satirical cinematic masterpiece, “The American Ruling Class,” the main obstacle to personal progress for the conscience-ridden graduates of Yale-Harvard-Princeton is to overcome the idea that doing what’s best for oneself is any different that doing what is best for one’s nation.

Please permit me to make an observation about the Globalist Elite, the CFR, Trilateralists, WEF, Bilderbergers, and the EU overseers: they are run by a degenerate incompetent epigone who match their predecessors’ cruelty and self-interest but entirely lack their competence and capacity for deep long-range planning. Lapham once wrote a brilliant essay in Harper’s describing the rise in the late 1960s of a rival power center to the CFR, viz., the American Enterprise Institute—right wingers, Neo-conservatives, and Zionist Jews. I am incapable of studying their machinations in the detail required to say anything of interest about such a transition, but I formed the impression that the CFR had invited neocons into their bosom in order to tame and persuade them of the best and wisest ways to govern and were then taken over by them. So while admitting the self-confirming use of evidence, I found a series of articles on The Saker’s website shortly before he closed it down. One was titled “Is Andrei Martyanov right in his criticism of US ruling ‘elites’?” I admire Martyanov, have read “The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs” cover-to-cover, learned a great deal from it, and try my best to listen to his sputtering, self-indulgent, horrifically repetitious but absolutely crucial depictions of a grossly incompetent military, political, and think-tank elite (e.g., Council on Foreign Relations), with which I have come with no small amount of trepidation to fully agree. I had stopped subscribing to its flagship magazine, Foreign Affairs, over a decade ago when it had degenerated into a yellow propaganda rag. If you are clever you can also find three accounts from the Saker of his first-hand observations of the neoconservative takeover of the political and think-tank hegemony within the United States during the 1990s. The crude upshot is that instead of being tamed and trained, the sharp-elbowed big-donor-money used their historically tested tried-and-true means of taking over both the State Department and the CFR that had stocked its upper echelon from at least WWII onward. These neocons are convinced that Putin will back down from a nuclear war, and hence feel free to escalate ad nauseam in Ukraine (and Israel) and put the world at genuine risk of immolation for the very simple reason that the U.S. is incapable of winning a conventional war against any of its proposed antagonists. The U.S. will then be faced with a choice between humiliating defeat and nuclear escalation to which they are convinced Putin will yield. The latest flip-flops of Jeffrey Sachs—who does see this danger—are the last futile efforts to reinvigorate Global Governance (quite different from the Neocon Hegemon) after the imagined transition has failed to materialize.

Shortly before his death Henry Kissinger opined that (to paraphrase) “we moved too quickly with immigration,” which I suggest was code for “we thought that other nation states would dissolve or prove impotent so that the destruction of the nation-state of the US and throughout Europe would destroy any prospects for national pride and integrity that might coalesce to oppose us. We believed our own propaganda that Russia was a gas station posing as a nation-state. But we failed to anticipate that other nation-states would not melt like snow into raindrops but would become galvanized with strength and vigor to oppose and possibly defeat us.” Kissinger was one of the great evil but competent architects of the Globalist agenda but he and his cronies fell victim on the one hand to neocon treachery and on the other hand to the horrific mistake of creating a guiding ruling class and bureaucracy dominated by sycophancy, and gross incompetence at every level of strategic planning.

I learned recently that The Lancet allows financed propaganda to be printed within its journals for just $4000 per piece. Truth seems to be unimportant for the once-trusted Lancet. Now, lies about DEADLY INJECTIONS and the 'not so dangerous Covid Scam were all signs of the Demise of The Lancet!
