European Court of Justice: Pfizer Liable for Damage if its Covid Injection is Defective
According to a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), drug manufacturer Pfizer is liable for damage if its Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) injection is found to be defective.
The ECJ’s July 17 ruling argued that the idea of COVID-19 vaccine makers having limited liability for vaccine-related injuries or deaths is not entirely true. “A producer is liable for the damage caused by a defect in its product and its liability cannot be limited or excluded,” the decision stated. “However, there is no provision … that prohibits a third party from reimbursing the damages which a producer has paid as a result of its product being defective.”
The Daily Expose continued: “That means if Pfizer’s product is defective and people are harmed by that product, then the victims can seek damages from Pfizer. For any damages that Pfizer pays out, Pfizer can seek reimbursements from a third party – for example, BioNTech.”
According to the ECJ ruling, “a producer is liable for the damage caused by a defect in its product.”
“Producer” is defined as “the manufacturer of a finished product, the producer of any raw material or the manufacturer of a component part and any person who, by putting his name, trade mark or other distinguishing feature on the product presents himself as its producer.” It also applies to any person who imports a product for sale or any form of distribution in the European Community in the course of their business.
Meanwhile, the definition of “damage” includes “damage caused by death or by personal injuries.” According to the Expose, “the COVID-19 vaccines have caused death and personal injury” despite the public being deceived about the injections being “safe and effective.”
ECJ also deems efforts to conceal vaccine contracts ILLEGAL
The ECJ’s July 17 ruling also annulled the European Commission’s (EC) decision to conceal certain parts of COVID-19 vaccine contracts inked by EC President Ursula Von der Leyen. The concealment was done as part of her efforts to gain support for her reelection bid.
Back in October 2021, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from the Green bloc asked for access to the COVID-19 vaccine contracts with Pfizer negotiated by the EC to know the terms and conditions of the agreements. However, they were only provided with redacted versions of the said contracts.
But the ECJ ruled that Von der Leyen was wrong to conceal details of its multi-billion euro deals for the COVID-19 vaccines. It also noted that the EC did not give sufficient access to the purchase agreements.
This ruling serves as a major blow to Von der Leyen, who is seeking a second term as EC president. She was already under scrutiny for allegedly keeping secret and deleting text messages with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla over vaccine purchases in a controversy dubbed “Deletegate.”
“The new European Commission must now adapt their handling of access to documents requests to be in line with today’s ruling,” said Tilly Metz of Luxembourg, one of the Green MEPs who filed the lawsuit.

Pro-Life Veteran Linda Gibbons Sent to Mental Health Court for Witnessing Outside Toronto Abortion Mill
TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life hero Linda Gibbons has been sent to a mental health court to face charges for witnessing outside a Toronto abortion mill after she remained silent during previous court appearances.
On July 22, Ontario Court of Justice Judge Kate Doorly decided to remand Gibbons’ criminal charges until August 20 and to send her to “C Court” at Old City on October 22 to face her three charges of breaching the province’s “bubble zone” abortion law.
“This is a mental health court,” Campaign Life Coaltion’s (CLC) Pete Baklinski told LifeSiteNews. “Does the judge really think that Linda has mental issues?”
Gibbons has determined to remain silent during her court hearings to witness to the vulnerability of the unborn who are killed in the womb. Already, a judge at a previous hearing suggested sending her to a mental health court but decided against it.
In addition to being sent to a mental health court, Gibbons was appointed a “friend of the court” to provide legal aid for her. However, her “friend” was from the Guns and Gangs Unit.
“Why did the court provide someone from this department?” Baklinski questioned. “Is the court trying to say that pro-life activists are gangsters?”
Despite the seemingly insulting way in which Gibbons has been treated, the 75-year-old grandmother has remained calm and dignified, not saying a word.
“Linda was so dignified during the proceedings,” Baklinski recalled. “It was inspiring to watch her.”
While Gibbons remained silent during her court appearances, she was defended by many pro-lifers who attended. In addition to many rallying outside the court, some came inside and spoke in defense of Gibbons.
“God bless you, Linda,” one said. “God bless you,” said several more. “Warrior for Christ,” said another. “Injustice,” said another as Gibbons was led away in cuffs.
Gibbons forthcoming mental health court appearance comes after she was arrested for a fourth time after deliberately skipping a court hearing related to her advocacy, choosing to witness in front of an abortion facility instead.
The abortion mill, located in an office complex on 727 Hillsdale Avenue in Toronto’s upscale Leaside neighborhood, is one of many started by or named after Canada’s most notorious abortionist, Henry Morgentaler.
Before that, her most recent arrest took place on June 13, which was her third arrest in just three weeks.
Gibbons’ ministry is now considered criminal in Canada thanks to Ontario’s Safe Access to Abortion Services Act, which was put into effect on February 1, 2018, and was passed the previous year by then-Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government.
The law bans any pro-life activity, including praying, sidewalk counseling, and showing “disapproval” of abortion, within 50 meters of Ontario’s eight abortion facilities.
While the law was implemented by Liberals, the long-reigning Progressive Conservative government of Doug Ford has never challenged the law.
Prior to her recent string of arrests starting in May, Gibbons was last arrested in September of 2015 after conducting a similar silent protest in front of the same Morgentaler center.
After spending some 141 days in jail, an Ontario judge in 2016 convicted her of breaking a 1999 civil injunction that bans pro-life activities within 500 feet of Toronto’s Morgentaler abortion facility. This injunction was later superseded by Ontario’s Safe Access to Abortion Services Act.
In total, Gibbons’ pro-life advocacy has resulted in her spending almost 11 years in jail for her peaceful witness for mothers and unborn children.
CLC has launched a petition calling on Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey and Premier Doug Ford to repeal the “Safe Access to Abortion Services Act, 2017.”
The Birth of EuroCommunism: Frankfurt School’s Revision of Marxism
The Frankfurt School, a group of neo-Marxist intellectuals, significantly revised Marxist ideology after World War II, shifting its focus from economic to cultural issues. Their “critical theory” aimed to challenge and transform Western society by deconstructing its cultural norms and values. The creators of the theory see “progress” in the deconstruction and destabilization of the system.
This approach laid the groundwork for the “march through the institutions” strategy, which sought to infiltrate and influence key societal structures. In Western Europe, this strategy has been pursued by progressive forces, including the New Left and the Frankfurt School’s intellectuals, who sought to advance a Marxist agenda through cultural and institutional change rather than direct confrontation. This has included efforts to centralize European governance, implement climate policies, and reshape immigration policies.
Ursula von der Leyen’s reelection as president of the European Commission reflects the continuation of this strategy, with ongoing efforts to strengthen European integration and implement policies aligned with the Frankfurt School’s vision of societal transformation.
Despite the historical association of communism with significant human rights abuses, Western European left-wing circles have often been sympathetic to Marxist ideas, viewing the spread of communism as an inevitable historical process. This has allowed various currents of Marxism, including the Frankfurt School’s neo-Marxism, to gain influence in European politics.
After World War II, progressive forces in Europe sought ways to spread communism. In the West, communism met with considerable tolerance, and in some left-wing circles, it even enjoyed sympathy or official support. It might seem that declared lovers of democracy would absolutely condemn and reject this murderous ideology, especially given that its consequences included tens of millions of innocent victims of the communist terror apparatus and the Red Army.
However, while condemning these crimes, many often opposed attitudes hostile to communism. The prevailing view was that the march of communism actually stemmed from the natural course of history, an inevitable and irreversible process. This peculiar phenomenon remains a constant element of the European political landscape, which was full of communist sympathizers. Therefore, Western communist parties, subservient to Moscow’s central authority and adhering to the classic doctrine of Marxism-Leninism, freely operated in Europe.
However, unlike the Soviet bloc, other currents of Marxism also developed there. The most important of these were the Federalists, the so-called New Left, and the revisionist anti-cultural Marxism represented by the intellectuals of the so-called Frankfurt School. Trotskyism was also present, although it did not gain as much influence in Europe as it did in the United States.
Neo-Marxism took root in Germany, specifically based on the thought of the Frankfurt School, which was established in the interwar period by a group of scientists associated with the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research at Goethe University. These young, ideologically driven revisionists of Marxism, including Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, and Theodor Adorno, founded the institute in 1923, modeling it after the Marx-Engels Institute. It became the first and, as it turned out, the most important incubator of mutating Marxism. Over time, it served as a true ideological catalyst for revolution in the West. Its intellectual legacy inspired subsequent neo-Marxist leftist movements.
The Frankfurt School played a crucial role in shifting Marxism from economic issues to cultural ones. Setting aside economic issues along with the traditional conflict between exploited proletarians and their exploiting bourgeoisie, it replaced them with a new conflict and designated a “new proletariat”: the youth.
However, their far-reaching goals were much more ambitious. Marxism, as an ideological project, concerns a comprehensive vision of future society based on a “new type of man.” In the neo-Marxist version, this is a person with a critical attitude — freed from the shackles of “oppressive” culture. This individual is incapable of functioning in the current order of Western civilization, hence a revolutionary path is necessary to create a new reality for them to navigate.
Engineered Holodomor: UK Farmers are Being Paid to Destroy Food Crops
In the spirit of the Soviet Union’s Holodomor of 1932, the UK government has implemented a scheme that pays farmers NOT to grow food. This preposterous move has riled up controversy and disturbed farmers across the UK, hearkening to the days when government’s intentionally starved populations for their own political and territorial gain.
Today’s UK starvation scheme, known as the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), forms part of the government’s broader strategy to encourage “environmentally sustainable” farming practices. Instead of introducing these new farming practices gradually, the UK government has decided to destroy agricultural production altogether and put millions of people at risk of starvation and staggering food prices.
If this scheme isn’t intentionally designed to starve people, then it could be based on the foolishness of government leaders who have come to believe that endless money printing will solve all their problems and make all their visions a reality. If these leaders are willing to shut down farms and till over food sources, allotting a set amount of cash to the farmers, then the whole continent is set to suffer under communism.
Food security at risk in the UK, as government plots total takedown of agriculture
Cornish farmer Keith Andrews recently brought attention to the farming takedown scheme through a viral TikTok video, where he disclosed that farmers are being offered financial incentives to leave their fields fallow or dedicate them to non-food producing activities for up to THREE YEARS!
Andrews revealed that he was offered £2,500 per acre NOT to grow food every year, opting instead to plant bee mixes and wild bird seeds — a practice that earns him additional payments under the SFI.
“I’m going to plough a field. I’m going to put spring barley in. I’m going to get £440 off the Government, per acre. Then when it comes to crop size, leave it [to] rot in the ground,” Andrews explained in the video.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) introduced the SFI as part of its Agricultural Transition Plan, which seeks to align UK agriculture with environmental goals such as achieving “net zero carbon emissions” by 2050. Initially launched in 2022, the SFI has since expanded to include more totalitarian visions, while providing greater financial rewards for farmers who adopt “environmentally friendly practices.” The claim of sustainability is nothing but doublespeak.
Jeremy Clarkson, a prominent figure in the farming community, voiced his frustration with the policy in a recent article, noting that it incentivizes farmers away from food production to secure more profitable environmental grants. “I know one chap who has taken 60 per cent of his farm out of food production and he’s not alone,” Clarkson remarked, highlighting concerns over the sustainability of such practices in meeting the nation’s food needs.
Money printing alone cannot remedy the real-life consequences of shuttered farms and lost food sources
Minister of State at Defra, Sir Mark Spencer, defended the initiative, claiming that its role in promoting biodiversity and reducing humanity’s carbon footprint is unparalleled. “There’s no minimum or maximum land area or hedgerow length, so farmers can choose how much land to cover with their SFI agreement,” Spencer stated. Sir Mark Spencer is willing to destroy the entire farming infrastructure in the UK to appease the government’s hysterical belief that the world is going to end because of carbon.
Despite Spencer’s insane environmental beliefs, citizens are demanding that the scheme be shut down because it undermines food security and places undue financial pressure on farmers already grappling with the rising costs of production. The bribes and payouts from the government will not be enough to sustain them and prevent them from producing and maximizing the fruits of their labor. Worse yet, these payouts are being used for destructive ends that have real life consequences that money alone cannot remedy.
Since the pushback, the UK government has reduced the threat of communism, pledging to decommission 25% of farmland away from food production, and designating payouts that restrict, but do not collapse agricultural production altogether — at least not yet.
BREAKING: Gab Owner says Trump Shooter May Have had Pro-Biden Social Media Account
(LifeSiteNews) — Andrew Torba, the owner of alternative social media platform Gab.com, has announced that Donald Trump’s now-deceased attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, may have had an account on his platform in which he posted a number of times seemingly in support of “President Biden’s COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders.” Torba says he was only made aware of the alleged account after receiving an “emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency.”
“Approximately 30 minutes ago, Gab learned that Thomas Crooks, the deranged Joe Biden supporter who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, may have had an account on our platform,” Torba posted on X Wednesday afternoon. “We are unable to confirm that the account in question actually belonged to him.”

“The account was last active on the site in 2021. As far as we are aware, the account did not use the site to send any direct messages. He posted on the site nine (9) times total,” Torba added.
Describing the content of the posts, Torba stated, “While the account made very few posts on the site, the majority of them were in support of President Biden. A number of posts in particular expressed support for President Biden’s COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders.”
“We have saved the account data pending receipt of a search warrant,” he stated.
In a separate post, Torba posted screenshots of the posts allegedly made by Crooks, which, as Torba stated, seem to express at least tacit approval of the Democratic Party’s approach to illegal immigration, COVID lockdowns and President Joe Biden’s executive orders.

News of the Gab account potentially linked to Crooks follows shortly after another bombshell report from earlier this week found that devices that “regularly visited” the would-be assassin’s home and place of work also visited a location near Secret Service headquarters as well as FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Despite the high-profile nature of the July 13 shooting of the former president, little is known of Crooks, who was killed on scene by law enforcement.
Democrats Urge OpenAI to Allow Government Access to Models Before They Go Public
Five Democrat senators have penned a letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as a form of not-so-subtle pressure to commit “to making its next foundation model available to US Government agencies for pre-deployment testing, review, analysis, and assessment.”
But, “pre-deployment testing by government agencies”? Are these guys sure this is how any democratic (no pun) government should be speaking to a private company?
What Altman is really being asked, critics say, is to commit to even broader Big Tech-Big Government collusion.
The accusations of stepping out of bounds of what’s constitutionally allowed ahead and after the previous election, now range from involvement in censoring posts on social media, cutting revenue streams for individuals and businesses by teaming up with gargantuan advertising groups – to now seemingly tampering with future AI.
It’s not like the senators have nothing to work with here: OpenAI very recently has former NSA Director Paul M. Nakasone as a member of its board.
And OpenAI has a recently established Safety and Security Committee, of which Nakasone is a member. Plus, Altman is quoted as saying things like his company developing “levels to help us and stakeholders categorize and track AI progress.”
But Democrat senators are not the only ones who get to ask questions. One could be – who exactly are your “stakeholders,” Altman? And could Nakasone’s switch from the government to tech (an extraordinary example of the “revolving door phenomenon) be considered as a way to implement “prior restraint”?
That too is illegal in the US, as is the government censoring speech – and prior restraint, or prior censorship, is exactly what it says on the tin. These days a popular form of this would be, “prebunking.” And some form of AI is a necessary ingredient.
The senators deciding to publicly lean on Altman at this particular time allegedly happened because of a Washington Post report citing employees concerned that safety testing is being “rushed through.”
So “safety” of AI, and the industry leader-apparent, OpenAI’s stance, is how the letter’s point is presented.
But then question number 9 – out of 12 – sneaked in. The same one quoted at the top of this article, asking – “Will OpenAI commit to making its next foundation model available to US Government agencies for pre-deployment testing, review, analysis, and assessment?”
There’s also the question – what if the next US government is not controlled by Democrats?
i.e., are Democrats playing a long collusion game? Or is this just one of the Hail Mary passes ahead of the November vote?
