Thank you Veterans

From Randall Martin at Townhall:

On this Veterans Day,
I Celebrate My Brothers And Sisters in Arms

Today we celebrate Veterans Day, a holiday that honors all American veterans, living or dead, who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

On the “11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month” in 1918, the Allied nations and Germany agreed to an armistice, ending World War I, which is generally regarded as “the war to end all wars.” It became known as “Armistice Day,” and is commemorated by many countries.

One year later, in Nov. 1919, President Woodrow Wilson declared Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. On June 4, 1926, Congress passed a resolution that stated, “Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations.” But it wasn’t until 1954 when the 83rd U.S. Congress renamed Armistice Day, striking the word “Armistice” in favor of “Veterans,” and President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the legislation and later issued the first “Veterans Day Proclamation.”

. . .

Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero once said, “Poor is the nation that has no heroes, but poorer still is the nation that, having heroes, fails to remember and honor them.” These days, we’re bombarded with ever-changing, media-created heroes. But they pale in comparison to the real American heroes: my fellow men and women of the U.S. armed forces, who took on the duty of protecting our freedoms, our homeland and the defenseless around the world.  

Let us be a nation that remembers and honors all those who have served our country, not just on this Veterans Day, but every day for the heroes they are. 

So from one veteran to all the rest: God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Babylon Bee: Oscar The Grouch vs Big Bird

The headline at The Daily Mail:

Biden congratulates Big Bird
 for pushing COVID vaccine for kids
 after Ted Cruz called it 'propaganda
 for your five-year-old'

And here’s the response from The Babylon Bee:

Oscar The Grouch Refuses The Vaccine,
Stocks Up On Ivermectin

The Bee’s report includes the following:

Oscar the Grouch, who often listens to Joe Rogan without earbuds—inflicting the podcast on whoever is near his trashcan—has instead stocked up on Ivermectin—the preferable way for a grouch to treat COVID-19. “Yeah, you sheeple line the pockets of Pfizer while the vaccine does who-knows-what to you,” said Oscar. “Me, I’ll be here with my alternative treatments, being perfectly healthy and perfectly grouchy.”

The Power of the Parallel Economy

 

Our household buys coffee from the COVFEFE because they actively support America First policies, including most recently the defense of Kyle Rittenhouse.  Yesterday, we received an email from them as follows:

Hello, Deplorables!

We want to share some information and a call to action, but we want to share some thoughts before we get to that. As the tug-of-war for America continues or, for that matter, the free world, a change is on the horizon. It's going to either be a change for good or a change for the worse. But, with the stakes being higher than ever, it is having a galvanizing effect for the America First movement.

People are being forced to have skin in the game now since the ruling class is down a zero-sum game path. Based truck drivers are replacing 20-year incumbents, anti-white curriculum is being banned, election audits are being demanded everywhere, alternative social media is booming, the parallel economy is developing, "Let's Go Brandon" chants are everywhere, and Covid non-compliance is growing. Though the media will tell you otherwise, the America First movement has significant momentum and energy right now. The best thing to do now is to keep advancing and doubling down.

Thanks to continued support from our beloved Deplorables, we at COVFEFE have been so proud to financially contribute to several organizations that have helped carry out some of these aforementioned wins. Our next mission is the trial involving Kyle Rittenhouse. Since the time of the unfortunate events that befell onto Kyle, we have only publicly defended him. Therefore, we are proud to announce that we made our largest donation in our company's history to the Kyle Rittenhouse Defense Fund.

The Kyle Rittenhouse Defense Fund is a legal defense fund created and run by his mother, Wendy Rittenhouse. The Defense Fund has a highly detailed and informative website. The website gives you all the facts, a live stream of the trial, and a link to donate.

Not only does Kyle deserve a normal and happy life, but our gun rights depend on this case as well. The NWO needs their boogeyman to wage their next assault on Americans and have a rigged system in their favor to get it done. Please consider donating to the Kyle Rittenhouse Defense Fund and help give Kyle a fighting chance to enjoy Christmas a free American.

The America First movement is creating an ecosystem that has real power and is getting results. Deplorables are galvanized as ever, and all we want to do is win, win, win. We have to win politically and culturally. The America First parallel economy and parallel culture have to replace the System where the current VP, the "judicial system," and a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream can bailout billion-dollar violent criminals.

Nobody is coming to save us. We must seek strength and courage from God, roll up our sleeves, and do good in this world. SET KYLE FREE.

Many people are asking – but what can we DO??  I decided to post this since it is something that Deplorables can do - if one so chooses.  And if you’ve haven't been following the Rittenhouse case over at Legal Insurrection, you can access reports by Andrew Branca such as here and here.

Cloward-Piven Plan is happening now

 

image credit: pinterest.com

Wayne Allyn Root is a contributor to Townhall.  He’s taken controversial positions in the past, but I personally find his logic and reasoning in this article to be persuasive.

Vaccine Mandate Is Cloward-Piven Plan To Destroy USA and End Capitalism  

Mr. Root starts off:

Back in the 1980s, I was a Columbia University student learning about a plan to destroy America and end capitalism. It was called Cloward-Piven -- named after a Columbia University husband-and-wife professor team. Their insane goal was to turn America into a socialist, communist hellhole.

They planned to do it by overwhelming and collapsing the U.S. economy with massive debt, created by getting as many Americans as possible to depend on welfare, food stamps and unemployment benefits. In the ensuing economic catastrophe and collapse of our country, every business owner would get on their knees to beg government to save them.

At that moment of crisis and chaos, we would become a socialist, communist country.

Don't look now, but it's happening. The communists of Columbia (and every other elitist Ivy League school) have tried for decades to force a majority of Americans to rely on welfare benefits. They failed. But they won't give up. They've modified the plan. It's now a powerful one-two punch.

First, they've opened the borders to let millions of migrants and refugees into this country -- almost all of whom want cradle-to-grave welfare. Also, don't forget they all need free health care for themselves and their kids, and their new babies, and their extended families. That alone could overwhelm the system and collapse the economy. That's before welfare and food stamps. And then there's free public school for all their children and expensive English-as-a-second-language programs that cost billions of dollars but make teachers unions filthy rich.

Open borders is Cloward-Piven strategy updated for 2021. 

. . .

Part Deux of Cloward-Piven is the vaccine mandates. . .

Read the full column here. As I said, I have a hard time finding a flaw in his reasoning.  More scary stuff.

More hospitalization horrors: this from Australia

image credit: theaquinian.net

We don't want to be over-reacting and scare-mongering, but in Western Australia, there are almost no COVID cases, just new patients overwhelming hospitals. From Sundance at Conservative Treehouse:

Noted by Alex Berenson, something very weird is happening in the state of Western Australia (WA) home to a population of almost 3 million people.  The WA state has been locked down and isolated from the COVID-19 impacts in the eastern states.

There are very few COVID cases in locked-down Western Australia which has allowed them time to prepare for the potential arrival of the virus which includes a massive vaccination effort.  The state has modeled an anticipated arrival of the COVID virus in early 2022, early next year.  However, as the vaccination rates increase, the hospitals are being overwhelmed with new patients and the Premier cannot explain why.

Alex Berernson notes comments made by WA Premier Mark McGowan on October 31st about hospitals being currently overwhelmed. “Our hospitals are under enormous pressure. This is the same in [the rest of Australia]. This has been something no one has ever seen before, the growth in demand in our hospitals, why it is is hard, hard to know… There is huge numbers of people coming through the door, so we’re doing everything we can to try to manage it,” says Premier McGowan.

The issue is apparently worsening.  In an interview yesterday (Wed, Nov 3rd) Premier McGowan announced a massive expansion of hospital capacity due to an existing and undefined current influx in patients that is overwhelming hospital capacity.

COVID-19 was anticipated to arrive next year.  Proactively, mass vaccinations are ongoing.  It is during this period of mass vaccinations when the hospitals are being overwhelmed by new patients.  These hospitalizations have nothing to do with COVID infections. 

[video]

Obviously something is very wrong:

COVID-19 or any variant therein is non-existent in the Western Australia population.

The Western Australia population is being vaccinated.

The hospitals in Western Australia are now overwhelmed, and not by COVID-19.

What else could the problem be other than the vaccinations causing hospitalizations?

. . .

Read all of it here and watch the video  Our household is no longer trusting an annual flu shot.

New horror: COVID shot-induced heart attacks in the young

Celeste McGovern at LifesiteNews reports:

The ‘New Normal’ is healthy teens and 20-somethings
collapsing from deadly heart and brain conditions –
as the CDC rolls out experimental jabs to 5-year-olds

 A particularly horrifying Instagram post a few days ago shows our new global reality. It’s a video taken on a crowded street somewhere in Israel where a young person – it looks like a girl in her teens or perhaps early 20s – has collapsed. Her eyes are closed, her head is listing back and to one side, and she looks completely unresponsive as she’s wheeled by paramedics through the bustling foot traffic. Off camera, a man in the crowd begins shouting: “This is Pfizer! This is Pfizer! This is Pfizer!”

Welcome the “New Normal.” If you think this is an overstatement, take a look at a sampling of dozens of stories that made headlines recently:

• 12-year-old Scots girl dies suddenly of brain bleed
• San Diego eighth-grader collapses in gym class, dies of heart condition
• ‘Healthy and active’ 14-year-old Gold Coast girl suffers heart attack on the soccer field
• 18-year-old Italian girl dies after COVID vaccine; brain surgeon says he’s never seen such ‘extensive and severe’ blood clots
• 21-year-old college student hospitalized with myocarditis from COVID jab
• Young man collapses in Edmonton with brain bleed
• 16-year-old drops with a heart attack during a game in France
• New Jersey rugby player collapsed to his knees and had a heart attack on the field

There are good odds every one of these youths were jabbed. Just ask Gov. Gavin Newsom if children are being forced to be vaccinated to attend school in California. Or ask Kyrie Irving how much pressure is put on young athletes to get injected to be allowed to play. It’s a good bet they all received at least one dose of the experimental COVID-19 shots because the odds of having a heart attack as a child, or a brain bleed, are minuscule – unless of course, you’ve had a “clot shot” as they’ve come to be called.

. . .

Click here for the rest of the report, including links and video.  The FDA is breaking its own rules to “authorize” the jab for the kids.  For more on this, see Treehouse published at NOQ, here.

Looking at the 2021 election results: Mark Wauck

 

image credit: FreeVector

Mark Wauck at Meaning in History has some insights into the results of yesterday's mid-terms:

The 2021 elections pretty much marked the completion of the ongoing crash-and-burn of the Zhou regime’s agenda. The number one priority for Dems—especially, but not only, those in swing districts—will be how to distance themselves from the hard Left that has set their party’s policy stances. That won’t be easy, and increasing numbers of Dems will probably end up deciding to throw in the towel—resign, not run in 2022, rather than go through the meat grinder of a losing election. Recruiting quality replacement candidates willing to fight an uphill campaign won’t be easy. This attempt to pivot will prove to be somewhat akin to dancing with shoelaces untied, in part because the hard Left has become the center of gravity for the Dem party and they’re not interested in changing the brand to anything approaching normality.

In the meantime, life goes on across the fruited plain. In what the Zhou regime hopes will become the new normal, large corporations are plotting ways to coerce decent, hard working employees into participating in a dangerous medical experiment—or firing their asses if they decline. Nice place America has become. The regime tells corporations to jump, and they say: Who do we fire?

There have already been plenty of signs that this is not going to go smoothly. This has been particularly evident among municipal employees—police, firefighters, sanitation workers, but also in healthcare, where the mandates are causing severe staffing shortages. Not to mention the resentment and loss of employee good will toward their employers. , , ,

America Unhinged: Dr. Bryan Ardis Warns About the Medical Establishment’s Covid Lies

Your weekend read.  Ramon Tomey at FreedomFirstNetwork transcribed a video featuring Bryan Ardis on “America Unhinged.”  Ardis connects most of the dots in the media and government propaganda on the COVID-19 “vaccines.”  His explanations sound downright creepy, yet they are consistent with what I’ve been posting on vaccine mandates, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, zinc, etc., via NOQ, American Thinker, and other skeptical sources over the last year:

Texas chiropractor Dr. Bryan Ardis warned about the medical establishment’s lies about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). He issued this warning during the Oct. 25 edition of “America Unhinged” on Brighteon.TV. Ardis also told program host and theologian John Diamond how more effective COVID-19 cures have been discredited in favor of the vaccines.

Ardis noted how public health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “continue to propagate fear.” He said: “They lie to you regarding statistics around infections, and they exaggerate them and inflate them. They’ve been selling you the idea that you need a vaccine to inject in your body to save you.”

The host of “The Dr. Ardis Show” on Brighteon.TV added that the risks have always outweighed the purported benefits of the vaccines, contrary to what the authorities insist. “They try to coerce, they try to bully and they have been attempting to shame everyone in America into getting these COVID-19 shots,” Ardis said.

He also mentioned the FDA’s plan to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for children aged five to 11 years old. According to a Guardian report, advisers for the regulatory body have recommended the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for the said age group based on data submitted by the companies. During the Oct. 26 meeting by the FDA’s advisory panel, 17 voted yes and only one abstained.

“The FDA is deciding to vote on and mandate COVID-19 vaccines [on] all children in America – and it’s horrific. You should not be okay with them actually pumping these vaccines and mandating [them for] children,” Ardis said.

“The Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson [vaccine] fact sheets … [state] that these shots do not prevent you from getting COVID-19, nor [do they] stop you from transmitting [SARS-CoV-2] to another person. What’s incredible about [this is that] they keep telling you in the media: ‘In order to stop the pandemic or the spread of this virus, you need to get vaccinated.’”

Ardis denounces the continued use of remdesivir against COVID-19

“I’ve been in the media, non-stop, warning the American public to stay away from hospitals because [Dr.] Anthony Fauci has set up a protocol that will maim, disease and kill a lot of Americans,” Ardis told Diamond. “I knew that he was using this protocol of a deadly drug called remdesivir in all hospitals in America.”

According to Ardis, the country’s top infectious disease expert has a sinister purpose for promoting the remdesivir protocol. “Fauci is setting this up to kill a bunch of Americans, so he could sell the idea that the COVID-19 infection was deadly and that he had a savior vaccine that everyone needed to get,” the chiropractor said.

Ardis’ remarks against remdesivir came more than a month after he appeared on another Brighteon.TV program, “The Matrixxx Grooove Show.” He denounced the remdesivir protocol on the show’s Sept. 2 episode.

He explained that remdesivir causes acute kidney failure in 35 percent of patients who used it within five to ten days. When combined with the anti-inflammatory dexamethasone and the antibiotic vancomycin, it causes acute kidney failure in up to 45 percent of patients in a span of five days.

Diamond asked Ardis if the campaign to discredit hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin (IVM) was part of the FDA’s plan to grant emergency use authorization (EUA) for the COVID-19 shots. “Is that why they tried to suppress all of the HCQ and IVM, because they wanted to push these vaccines?”

Ardis answered in the affirmative. “They wanted to have an EUA given to a vaccine maker. By law, there cannot be any other medication or treatment already proven to actually be safe and effective against the virus in order for a vaccine to be given an EUA. That is why they had to destroy how good HCQ behaved with COVID-infected patients around the world,” Ardis said. (Related: Hospitalizations drop by 84% in patients treated with HCQ, study shows.)

“They also had to lie to us … that IVM wasn’t safe or effective. It’s actually been proven in 63 studies from 18 countries to stop COVID-19 infection [and] transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in 48 hours or less.”

The American Medical Assoc gives itself another black eye

 

Here’s the update from Ethan Huff at NOQ Report:

The American Medical Association (AMA) wants people to die from the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

The reason we can safely say this is that the trade group is working overtime to restrict Americans’ access to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin, two safe, effective and inexpensive early treatment remedies for the Chinese Virus.

Instead of recognizing that each individual has the God-given right to choose what goes into his body, the AMA is taking a position of medical fascism that does not even recognize the right of doctors to prescribe whatever medications they see fit for their patients.

In 1996, ivermectin was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in humans. Today, ivermectin is off-patent and available generically for treating a variety of pathologies.

Because using ivermectin breaks the plandemic script, however – everyone is supposed to just mask up and get “vaccinated,” they tell us – the AMA is trying to make it impossible to get (except for the black market, perhaps).

“The American Medical Association (which represents only 12% of practicing physicians and receives more money from the federal government than from its waning membership dues) and two national pharmacy associations (which receive corporate support from COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ manufacturers, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson) have decided ivermectin should not be used to treat this virus despite widespread successful treatment with this drug (discovered in the late 1970s and used in humans since 1988),” write Robert Marshall and Dr. Bernard, Pegis, M.D., for LifeSiteNews.

“Ivermectin is currently available over the counter in many countries. If American drugstores implement this dangerous policy, many lives will be lost.”

Now they are coming for your kids

 

The federal government just won’t stop.  Here’s an update from Issues and Insights on the move to force a COVID “vaccine” (read: experimental gene therapy) on children:

It goes without saying that parents almost always know what’s best for their kids. But the FDA and woke officials in the White House and Congress don’t agree. They intend to force COVID vaccines on your kids, whether you like it or not. Don’t let them. It’s politics, not science.

In a desperate bid to find more COVID victims to save with experimental vaccines, the Federal Drug Administration just gave the Pfizer anti-COVID vaccine “emergency use” authorization for children aged 5-11. Get ready for a big propaganda push.

. . .

The truth is, COVID isn’t a serious threat to kids up to 18. And no, we’re not against vaccines. They’ve been shown to work well at preventing hospitalizations and deaths for those in the highest-risk groups. If you’re at extreme risk, you’d be wise to get a shot.

But as the Daily Mail reported, “Parents have been split 50-50 over vaccinating children because kids . . . make up less than 0.1% of all COVID deaths in the U.S.” Not to mention that the effects of experimental drugs on kids are still unknown.

As with lockdowns, vaccine mandates are not really about health at all. They’re about control. In this case, government control of your children.

A View From Abroad

 

If you have been distressed at America’s downward spiral and dismayed by a media that will not report honestly, you are not alone. At AmericanGreatness, Conrad Black has the bad news:

After three weeks in Europe and extensive discussions with dozens of well-informed and highly placed individuals from most of the principal Western European countries, including leading members of the British government, I have the unpleasant duty of reporting complete incomprehension and incredulity at what Joe Biden and his collaborators encapsulate in the peppy but misleading phrase, “We’re back.” 

As one eminent elected British government official put it, “They are not back in any conventional sense of that word. We have worked closely with the Americans for many decades and we have never seen such a shambles of incompetent administration, diplomatic incoherence, and complete military ineptitude as we have seen in these nine months. We were startled by Trump, but he clearly knew what he was doing, whatever we or anyone else thought about it. This is just a disintegration of the authority of a great nation for no apparent reason.”

. . .

. . . And there is no precedent for the completely avoidable and shaming debacle of the American defection from its own alliance and helter-skelter flight from Afghanistan, leaving thousands of desperate people of many nationalities who had relied upon the United States, to fend for themselves against the new terrorist regime that seized power there (and $85 billion of U.S. military hardware along with it).

. . .

The thought of the most successful alliance in history being “led” for three more years by an American president whose round-the-clock gaffes are not protected in Europe as Biden is in the United States by a totalitarian social media platform cartel and terminally biased national political media is a subject of profound and general disconcertion. 

Mr. Black’s full article is here.  I don’t agree with everything he says, but he brings a sobering perspective from our erstwhile allies overseas.

Liberals Keep Voting for the Progressive Left

 

Dennis Prager posted "The Left Is Evil and Liberals Keep Voting for Them" last week at AmericanGreatness.  As we head into the next election, maybe we can try again to explain to our liberal family member and friends. 

. . . liberalism and leftism have virtually nothing in common. In fact, leftism is the enemy of liberalism—as a handful of liberals such as former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, former Young Turk Dave Rubin and others have come to recognize.

The Left has never believed in free speech and has suppressed dissent wherever it has assumed power. Free speech is a pillar of liberalism, and it has always embraced dissent.

The Left rejects the anti-racist ideal of colorblindness. Colorblind is the liberal racial ideal.

The Left supports racial segregation—such as all-black dorms and separate black graduations. Liberals have always advocated racial integration.

The Left has always loathed capitalism. Liberals were always major advocates of capitalism—recognizing that only capitalism has lifted billions of people out of poverty.

The Left has always been anti-Israel. Liberals have always been fervent supporters of Israel.

The Left has always held America in contempt. Liberals loved this country. A liberal wrote “God Bless America.” No leftist would write such a song.

Leftists want to defund the police. No liberal does.

The list of liberal-Left differences is as long as the list of left-wing positions.

Yet, it is liberals who keep the Left in power. Were it not for the liberal vote, the Left would have no power.

Why do liberals vote Left? Why do liberals vote for those who have contempt for virtually everything they, the liberals, hold dear?

The question is all the more apt given that it is conservatives who protect virtually every liberal value. It is conservatives who seek to preserve free speech, racial integration, love of America, a strong Israel and capitalism.

So why do liberals vote for the Left, for the very people who hold liberals and their values in contempt?

Mr. Prager has answers;  click here.

David Horowitz’s "I Can’t Breathe"

At FrontPageMag.com, Mark Tapson  reviews David Horowitz’s new book I Can’t Breathe, a book that takes a deep dive into the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization. "The self-proclaimed trained Marxists who founded that subversive movement exploited, and continue to exploit, [26 black] victims in order to incite a civil war in America by hyping a false narrative of the systematic targeting of blacks by law enforcement.”  

I have not yet read Mr. Horowitz's book, but Mr. Tapson’s review provides solid information on the many race hoaxes and propaganda that are tearing apart America’s social fabric.  Here’s part of the review:

Horowitz’s aim with the book is to puncture BLM’s grotesque narrative, which is supported by the Democrat Party and amplified by its media enablers. He begins the book with a summary of our current racial divide, which was exacerbated by deadly, nationwide BLM rioting – “a summer of insurrections” – in 2020 that constituted “the costliest sustained acts of civil disorder in American history.” The siege of Portland by violent leftist activists, the Democrat movement to defund police departments and the subsequent crime waves that swept the nation, the anti-American messaging, the 2016 massacre of five white cops in Dallas at the hands of a BLM-inspired black extremist – Horowitz weaves all these ugly threads and more to create a dark tapestry of the devastation that Black Lives Matter’s myth-making has wrought:

The casualties of the scorched-earth war unleashed by Black Lives Matter dwarf the total casualties of all the alleged racial injustices the organization has protested. The atrocities instigated and inspired by BLM encompass scores of innocent wounded and dead, both black and white… Surveying these disasters, one could reasonably conclude that, thanks to Black Lives Matter campaigns to abolish police departments, advances in both race relations and protections for urban black communities have been set back fifty years.

Horowitz compiles the names of 26 black victims BLM claims were murdered or maimed by the police since the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012 sparked the launch of the movement. They include the aforementioned Martin, Floyd and Taylor, as well as Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Race, and Freddie Gray, to name some of the most well-known. Then – in chapters on how the BLM movement began, grew, and went national and then international – Horowitz goes on to dissect all 26 incidents according to the facts, backed up by over 70 pages of endnotes. He demonstrates how BLM has lied about every single one in its quest to aggravate racial tensions and rip America apart at the seams. . . .

The full review is here.  Highly recommended.

America in The Twilight Zone?

 

Patricia McCarthy is a frequent contributor to American Thinker, and I would describe her as level-headed, certainly not prone to wild and crazy conspiracy theories.  So I was interested to see her article “Vaccines: We Are Living in The Twilight Zone” late last week.  She references that famous Twilight Zone episode where earthlings are racing to get on the spaceship to travel to a distant planet, not realizing the alien “book” they’ve been translating is a cookbook, and the earthlings are the food.  Are there comparisons to today’s societal collapse?  You decide.  This extract is close to the end of her article:

Biden’s participation in the Great Reset looks real. He ceased the building of the border wall on day one of his presidency.  He stopped the Keystone pipeline and ended oil drilling on all federal lands.  He purposefully upended the energy independence Trump had achieved.  Gasoline in California is now around $5 a gallon.  Who does this hurt?  The working poor among us.  And with each passing day, it becomes clearer that Biden will not do anything to protect American interests, in Afghanistan for example,  if it might anger China.  He is without a doubt the worst president in US history.  He has, from day one, capitulated to all of America’s enemies,  angered our allies, and put the US, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan in grave danger.  The ever-so-complicit Fauci who had a hand in developing covid in Wuhan is as pro-China as Biden.   

In the meantime, breakthrough infections are killing people as surely as if they were sustenance for the ruling class.   Lives are most likely being cut short, vaccinated teens are being diagnosed with myocarditis.   Moderna has delayed vaxxing teens because of myocarditis.  The entire population of vaccinated people is vulnerable to blood clotting (VITT). 

Despite the volumes of information available about the dangers of the vaccines, such information is avoided or suppressed by the mainstream media.  One has to go searching for it.  So as the jabs keep injuring and killing, they have proven not to protect from Covid and yet the administration and its handmaidens in the media pretend this isn’t so and keep demanding every single person be vaxxed.  Those that submit do not realize they are just pawns in a very nasty global reset plan to… what?  Depopulation?  Shorten lifespans?  Cause infertility?  Massively increasing the wealth of the already wealthy?  All of the above?  . . .

Food . . . for thought.  Read the rest of the article here.

Rand Paul Was Right — Fauci Lied

 

The meme is via PatriotPost. Thomas Gallatin reports:

Rand Paul Was Right — Fauci Lied

“NIH … categorically has not funded gain-of-function research.” Yes it has.

National Institutes of Health official Lawrence Tabak issued a letter Wednesday admitting that the agency did indeed provide funding for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology via the U.S. nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance. That’s a big problem for more than one reason.

Tabak writes that NIH funding went to a “limited experiment” in which a test was conducted to see if “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.” The modified coronavirus did make the mouse “become sicker” than the non-modified virus.

While Tabak avoids using the term “gain-of-function,” it is clear from his descriptions that such research is exactly what he admits the NIH funded. That the NIH was involved in funding gain-of-function research should come as a surprise to no one, as Anthony Fauci himself had been a longtime proponent of the controversial practice.

Back in 2012, Fauci argued in support to gain-of-function research, contending: “Scientists working in this field might say — as indeed I have said — that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks. It is more likely that a pandemic would occur in nature, and the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky.”

Fauci’s clearly favorable views of this research would also explain why he chose not to alert White House officials in 2017 when he lifted the ban on the practice. It also appears to explain why the NIH’s funding of gain-of-function was not direct but funneled through EcoHealth Alliance, giving Fauci the cover to later claim that the NIH was not directly involved in funding gain-of-function research.

Yet when Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) pressed Fauci over NIH funding, an irate and contentious Fauci retorted: “You do not know what you are talking about. … If anybody is lying here, Senator, it is you! … You are entirely and completely incorrect. The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Just in case someone wasn’t clear, Fauci added, “I will repeat, the NIH … categorically has not funded gain-of-function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

We knew this before, but now even the NIH is tacitly admitting that Fauci lied not only to Senator Paul in sworn testimony but to the American public. . . .

Read the rest here.  It's scary, because too many people I know still rely on the mainstream media for news propaganda.

A doctor speaks out on The Jab

 

A physician publishing under the name "Blaise Edwards, M.D." has an article at American Thinker (h/t Lucianne.com) that might be useful if you are discussing COVID treatment options with a physician who goes along with the quarantine-and-wait-until-you-good-and-sick before considering hospitalization, off-label treatments, or, heaven forbid, a ventilator. 

I find myself in the position that I must use an alias for fear of reprisal.  Those days may be quickly coming to an end, as hospitals are denying requests for vaccine exemptions with impunity.  I will likely soon be out the door, with nothing to lose.  Even if I survive this round, if the “pandemic” continues, it won’t be long before I am shelved like a can of spam.

Doctors need to be called out.  From early in the pandemic, it was like a mass hypnosis or forgetfulness of everything we had learned in medical school.  Immune system knowledge was shelved and replaced by government dictates.  The thought of early outpatient treatment with “off label” drugs that could modulate the immune system was forbidden.  We essentially told patients that they had to go home and wait until they were sick enough to be hospitalized, then treatment would begin.  Imagine telling all diabetics that there is no metformin, Glucophage, or insulin.  Would we really wait until patients are in diabetic ketoacidosis, and then treat them only at the hospital?  It is medical malfeasance of a grand scale.

We physicians gave up our training and our reasonable medical thought process.  The reasons are multiple.  First, it was the easy way out.  Second, many of us are employed and fear reprisal.  Third, despite what the public thinks, we physicians are not bold leaders, we tend to be sheep, and are afraid of having an entire institution ostracize us or our colleagues to think us crazy.

As we got to the point of vaccine rollout, doctors were not using the scientific method, questioning and challenging prevailing hypotheses.  They kept their heads down, closed clinics, converted to telemedicine, and pushed only the jab.

. . .

Lately, it has been all about getting 100% of the population jabbed.  For what reason?  I am not sure, and some of the more detailed and investigated theories scare me.  I shudder to think.  But last year’s heroes are being labeled selfish and villainous for not getting the vaccine.  Hospital systems have abandoned their community’s health and ignored early successful outpatient treatment in favor of huge government subsidies for inpatient and ICU treatment.  The success of these treatments was not great, but that is another article.  Now we have the same hospital systems turning their backs on their own employees.  Basically, health providers have a choice, get shot, or get fired.  How does that help?  Both vaxxed and unvaxxed can spread the virus, so it doesn’t help anyone.  It only helps the hospital to get more government money by meeting quotas.

I, for one, will remember that when we faced a real crisis, the hospitals and many physicians chose money and profit over their own community’s best interest.  Perhaps it is time for groups of physicians to get back to running their own healthcare clinics and hospitals.  We used to have a code of ethics.  We used to put patients first.  Not anymore.

As for physicians, those who are blindly following the government edicts are culpable in a moral atrocity.  Bullying and deriding patients who chose to refrain from this still experimental therapy is an abomination.  (You will say it isn’t experimental anymore, to which I would say that just because the government broke its own rules regarding approval, doesn’t make it legal or right).  Patients have sincere beliefs for making their choice.  Respect their thoughts.  Do you yell as much at smokers, drinkers, fornicators, drug abusers, etc?  No, I think not. I think you chose to fit in because it gives you a sense of righteousness.

. . .

I beg physicians to get back to basics, remember all the epidemiology and immunology that bored us to tears in school.  Investigate the real literature and take a stand.  Society needs us to do this.  Even if you have been vaccinated, help those who are fighting for their lives.  Stand up against this forced vaccine tyranny.  Support those who have legitimate reasons for declining the jab. If you don’t stand up now, who will stand up for you when you are faced with your choice of yet another booster or your job.

Conservatives: beware of Conservatism, Inc.

 

Ned Ryun at American Greatness cites Michael Anton’s Caveat Emptor for conservatives:

[Michael] Anton says, 

Now I’ll name names. If you’re at National Review, AEI or Heritage Foundation, your job is to pretend to oppose but really support; your whole business model as staff and management collapses if you don’t do that. It’s an open question why the donors donate to these places. I actually believe they’re deceiving their donors for the most part; that is I’d like to believe most donors to Conservatism, Inc. (NRO, AEI, Heritage) are writing checks because they believe these guys are fighting bad leftists, socialists, Communists, America-haters, critical race theory. They’re standing athwart yelling ‘Stop!’ They really think this. They don’t think, ‘I’m writing this check so that Rich Lowry, Ramesh Ponnoru, Jonah Goldberg and other fat useless grifters can have six-figure jobs to do nothing but sell out my country and pretend that they’re saving it.’ I don’t think they’re doing that, but to be completely clear, that’s what they’re doing.

There’s a lot to unpack just in that one 60-second statement, but Anton is absolutely correct: The overwhelming majority of “conservative” donors, knowingly or unknowingly, are getting played by Conservatism, Inc., which is really about 90 percent of the so-called “conservative” think tanks in D.C. but, quite frankly, it happens even in the smaller ones across the country.

. . .

If, as Anton says, donors think they’re funding these entities to actually fight the leftists, the question should be very simple: proof please of your work. Strongly worded statements and white papers don’t count, for the record. Show us the action items. . . .

If you contribute to conservative organizations or individuals, make sure the recipient(s) really is/are conservative.  Full article is here.
