Anti-fascism, a vaccine that did not work

BY: Franco Marino Translated BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - The amazement of those who are witnessing the birth of a new totalitarianism in a country [our Italy] that for seventy years has praised anti-fascism in all its guises is understandable. Yet, sixteen months of virus spilled in the media twenty-four hours a day, should have briefly explained how a vaccine works. The principle of which, subject to some possible corrections, should be more or less clear: by inoculating the human body with attenuated or dead viruses, one should stimulate an immune response such as to immunize us against that virus.…

Nuclear Batteries, a new approach to Carbon-Free energy

PEJOURNAL - Jacopo Buongiorno and others say factory-built microreactors or as have been called Nuclear Batteries trucked to usage sites could be a safe, efficient option for decarbonizing electricity systems. We may be on the brink of a new paradigm for nuclear power, a group of nuclear specialists suggested recently in The Bridge, the journal of the National Academy of Engineering.

Richard Anderson Falk: US backing Israel for its strategic interests in region

PEJOURNAL - Richard Falk believes that US Government backs Israel because of its strategic interests in the region and partly as a reflection of well-organized pro-Israeli lobbying, which has been very effective with the US Congress. Every year, millions of Muslims mark International Quds to underscore the plight of Palestinians as a manifestation of the Palestinian cause, heeding a call by the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini (RA), who designated the last Friday of every Ramadan as the International Quds Day.
