Covid Lies and the Human Consequences

By Rich Kozlovich

 

When the covid scare emerged I said it was scare mongering, and the stats were being manipulated, and we know they were.  There was no need for social distancing, masks, and a demand, .... demand mind you.... that everyone get the shots.  

 

Shots that were not vaccines, since they changed the definition for vaccines.  Heretofore forever a vaccine had to immunize you and prevent transmission.  These compound do neither, and worse yet, they're having a deadly impact on humanity, and there can be no Forgiveness For Covid Tyrants? Not in This Lifetime! Part III. 

I've stated over and over again the impact of these gene manipulating chemical compounds will be devastating to humanity for decades, and every week more information comes out to prove that to be true.  All the while there were effective alternatives the medical, academic, pharmaceutical industry, and the government lied about, and vaccine skeptics are the true critical thinkers.

 

 The Hydroxychloroquine Crime By Leo Goldstein  July 20, 2024 - More than four years ago, Democrat leaders colluded with the WHO (as part of the wannabe global government) and Big Tech to perpetrate a horrific crime: the denial of access to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and other lifesaving COVID-19 treatments.  The primary purpose was to legalize fraud-ridden voting by mail and seize power following the 2020 elections.  Once in power, the perpetrators were able to cover up this crime even though it is ongoing.  The FDA continues to reject HCQ and the even less controversial ivermectin (IVM).  Instead, it pushes the harmful and dangerous quasi-vaccine. The number of direct deaths from COVID-19 has exceeded one million in the U.S. alone.  Almost all of these deaths could have been avoided using HCQ- or IVM-based treatment.  If not for the unusually mild omicron variant, the death count could be tens of millions.

Actress Patricia Heaton Rips ‘Fear-Mongering’ Media Election Coverage  We Need to Pray’ for Traumatized Head-Shaving Women -We must make public-health authorities accountable for their COVID lies .  The “public health” response to COVID has been awful. Ever since cases first appeared in Wuhan, the reaction has been marked by mistakes, reversals, outright lying and even political manipulation. We need a thorough accounting.

Mistakes are forgivable. In the early days, everything we knew came from the Chinese government, and while we now know that Beijing lies about everything, we knew less then. In fact, it not only lied about the disease’s origins, its nature and its spread, it kept the Wuhan airport open for weeks, allowing (deliberately?) the disease to take hold all over the planet before anyone else knew it was coming.....mistakes are inevitable and.... forgivable......... reversals aren’t necessarily bad. You make a decision based on what you know. Later you know more.......But lies and political manipulation are different. Those are a betrayal of trust, and they’re especially serious because trust is the public-health community’s greatest asset.  The record here has been terrible, and we need investigation and accountability.

Many years ago a worldwide outrage erupted over thalidomide, a drug given to pregnant women to help with morning sickness, however it caused birth defects.  How many children were impacted.  Less that 15,000, and it was a worldwide scandal.  These false vaccine genetically manipulating compounds is our thalidomide era, only it will negatively impact millions, and for decades to come, and we need to be outraged.

The Ravings of a Kindly Old Man with a Poor Memory

May 15, 2024 By Pete McArdle  

Editor's Note:  This appeared here at American thinker.  I've not asked for, nor have I received permission to publish this piece, but it is so outstanding I think it needs the broadest possible distribution.  If America Thinker or the author object, I will break it down to a link. RK

Joe Biden, long before he was, ahem, installed as president, pilfered and retained highly classified information in three different locations, one a presumably dust-and-spider-infested garage.

But Robert Hur, the kind of federal prosecutor we should all be so lucky as to encounter, found that Crusty Joe was much too likable and fried to ever prosecute or convict. So no charges for poor, old, senile, and likely incontinent, Sleepy Joe.

And that’s my defense for anyone triggered by my forthcoming political and social ramblings. I’m almost seventy-one, I rarely know what day it is, I worry about nothing save death and taxes (mostly death), I hit my head 1–4 times a night, yet for a former dentist, I’m fairly likable and unconventionally handsome.

So, please pretend that I, too, am as fried and blameless as our practically petrified puppet president. Because, should Funny Business, Inc. suddenly come a-knockin’, that will be my defense in court (hopefully not Judge Arthur or Juan’s court in the corrupt Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots).

So, tell me, when did it become O.K. for mentally-ill men to swing their Johnsons in a girls’ locker room? And for them to win medals and awards that should go to those of the fairer sex? And why did I labor so hard to be a serviceable b-ball player in NYC men’s leagues, when I could have simply grown my hair, stuffed my man-bra, shaved my legs, declared myself a woman and then dominated the WNBA? Hmmm?

And when did it become fashionable to hate white people, Jews, and Republicans? I thought hate was bad, and all you need is love. No?

And why does every single commercial I see, when I occasionally choose to lower my IQ by watching television, feature a host of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity hires? Were there simply no heterosexual white couples available in a majority Caucasian nation? Or were they intentionally excluded from representation?

And why on earth would you celebrate killing an unborn baby? Couples pray to be blessed with a baby, I know my wife and I did. People spend many thousands of dollars trying to bring life into this world, while others look the other way as butchers in white coats dismember the most vulnerable among us.

Do it if you must. But don’t call it reproductive health care, that’s grotesque.

And could our government be any more corrupt, inefficient, or wasteful? Don’t you trust your average sanitation worker, house painter, or Uber driver much more than the porcine clowns cozying up to the feeding trough in D.C.? And when our Uniparty talking heads flap their gums about how they’re trying to help, doesn’t it just make you sick? Your omniscient, albeit deeply flawed, narrator will be there to help you long before any of those political poseurs consider moving their ample posteriors on your behalf.

Speaking of big butts, what’s with the push to glamorize obesity? When did fat become fabulous? Who buys that nonsense?

I’ve been skinny, just right, kinda chubby, and a major lardbutt. And though I’m neither skinny nor a major lardbutt at present, less fat is clearly the way to go. Just ask the now almost-defunct Sports Illustrated Swimsuit staff. Or ask a physician you can trust.

Speaking of MDs you can trust, who’s apologizing for the terrible damage done by the governmental/public health response to COVID-19, a bug that wee Tony Fauci helped fund, and then tried to blame on a culture that consumes bats and pangolins? No one?

And who’s apologizing for a failed vaccine that neither stops the acquisition nor transmission of the disease, yet did and continues to do damage to an untold number of trusting souls across the world? What’s that, you say? No one?

And the Deep State/D.C. Swamp creatures who abused anyone questioning the absolute absurdity of closing schools, wearing mostly performative masks, ruining businesses and lives, standing a capricious 6-feet apart from your fellow man, and leaving the dying to expire all alone? Will they ever be taken to task for their knowing perfidy? (Hint: not on your life!)

And how about all those college students who probably don’t know what 11x11 equals, or can’t distinguish a gerund from a gonad, or who conflate Taylor Swift with Jonathan Swift, bravely standing up for the terrorists who raped, tortured, and killed thousands of Israelis on October 7th?

Could they be any more out of touch? Or spoiled? Or pathetic? Methinks not.

Speaking of pathetic, who among you believes anything the sad, servile mainstream media parrots? Do they not lie as easily as they breathe? Are they not completely predictable as to how they will deal with a given circumstance? Are they not foul creatures fully under the control of the D.C. swamp?

They are.

I see, read, or hear anything, in my diminished state (in case the FBI, the CIA, or Robert Hur is listening in), and I assume that it’s a lie, a falsehood, an obfuscation, or a misdirection. You should, too.

And who’s responsible for allowing anyone and anybody to simply waltz into our country, unknown, unvetted, and possibly undesirable? Do the folks permitting this allow just anyone to waltz into their towns, their country clubs, or their homes? No, silly! They only expect it of you.

And why do today’s movies absolutely suck? Why are we forced to choose between Aquaman V: The Ultimate Sashimi and Ghostbusters: Transgender Terminus? Are you not entertained? Can’t you come up with anything that hasn’t been done before?

And what’s with all those female starlets with fake breasts, faux lips, phony eyebrows, and counterfeit teeth? Could they be any less genuine?

And what’s with our so-called president, a sad, desiccated husk a mere decade older than moi? Should someone ten years older than me be in charge of anything? No.

Should someone with considerably less intellectual firepower than me be running the show? 

Of course not.

Should a guy who can barely walk, talk, read a teleprompter, or control his bowels, be steering the vaunted ship of state?

Of course not.

I may be old—which I hope whichever Democrat politician, district attorney, or judge who decides to come after me understands—but I’m not stupid.

We now live in a Bizarro World, where up is down, black is white, boys are girls, and right is wrong. Words are violence, violence is mostly peaceful protesting, silence is complicity, and you are the problem for noticing how wrong it all is.

Myself, I’m frankly not that upset.

For America truly was great for most of my life, my time on Earth is now short, and yet I know, at 71, exactly what 11x11 equals.

And for any libs, Feebs, or dweebs listening in to my diatribe, please know that I’m fairly old and can’t be trusted.

My legs are gray, my ears are gnarled, and my eyes are old and bent. 

But not as bent as you.

Will Pandemic-Era Election Laws Crush Republicans Again?

The GOP needs to hop to or else. 

by Leesa K. Donner Dec 3, 2023  Articles, Good Reads, Opinion, Politics,  @ Liberty Nation News

Despite a few prominent politicos on the left who have jumped ship, the Democratic National Committee appears to be sticking with the man who carried the party to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2020. Republicans are incredulous that Democrats remain tethered to such a frail and – to them, at least – feckless leader as Joe Biden. But perhaps it’s because they know something the GOP hasn’t come to terms with yet: It doesn’t much matter who runs if election laws are on your side.

Election Laws in Pennsylvania – A Missed Lesson

The election of John Fetterman in Pennsylvania should have sent the Republican National Committee straight to Big Pharma for the Xanax. Here was a man who couldn’t sling a coherent sentence together but had already banked hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes by the time the senatorial debate was held. When the former Mayor of Braddock, PA, won a US Senate seat, the GOP began pointing fingers at each other, saying they never should have run Dr. Mehmet Oz as the Republican candidate. The backbiting between the establishment and MAGA wings of the party got nasty and, many claimed, it was all Trump’s fault.

A house divided, the GOP missed the real story, which was staring them in the face the whole time: The election of John Fetterman proved the Keystone State is still playing by pandemic-era voting laws. Instead of bickering, the RNC should have realized it was time to put boots on the ground in PA and work hard to effectuate change regarding mail-in voting – but they preferred airing their grievances over uniting against the big blue Pennsylvania machine. Unsurprisingly, things have only gotten worse in the Commonwealth since then.

On November 20, a federal judge ruled that undated ballots should be counted in Pennsylvania if they reach the proper destination by Election Day. So, while conservatives are busy pushing for stricter election laws, the Democrats are running circles around them. Republicans need to understand that it is much easier to bestow a privilege than to remove one. The genie is out of the bottle, and like it or not, mail-in voting is here to stay. The RNC is promoting a “bank your vote” campaign, but they appear to be losing both the battle and the war in Pennsylvania.

An op-ed by Guy Ciarrocchi in Politico made a few salient points about the GOP state committee in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that are worth repeating. He maintains Keystone State Republicans should “stop fighting about the merits” of mail-in voting “and just do it.” He continued:

“Florida’s GOP under Gov. Ron DeSantis has mastered early voting — they don’t rail against it; they embrace it and are working to perfect it. And our neighbors in Virginia — in a much more blue state — are using it as a tool to bring their races to essentially a tie, and they’re just getting started.”

Ciarrocchi also brings up those pesky drop-boxes, which he says appears to be a thorny issue:

“Since county commissioners may install drop boxes across their counties, there is an element of partisan gamesmanship. I live in Chester County in Philadelphia’s western suburbs — which had been ‘red’ until the Obama years and is now ‘navy blue,’ like much of suburbia along the East Coast. Chester had 13 drop boxes. But our western neighbor, Republican-run Lancaster County, offered only two boxes, even though it has more voters. The same for our northern Republican neighbor, Berks County, even though it’s geographically larger. By contrast, Philadelphia had 38 locations. Perhaps Republican-run counties in Pennsylvania should think about where they might add drop-off boxes to help with their GOTV?”

To underscore how controversial drop boxes have become, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has put the kibosh on them in their state. In its decision, the court also said that voters must return their ballot to the appropriate location in person. Michigan’s MPR News reported: “The court’s decision stands to significantly affect the upcoming elections in the swing state, where about 2 million residents voted by absentee in the 2020 general election, a record number.” This is a big win for the GOP in a crucial state, but it is the exception, not the rule.

In Oakland County, MI, where Detroit is located, there are so many drop boxes that the graphic listing them is completely covered. Granted, it is the most populated area in the Wolverine State, but certainly not the largest in square miles. Like most urban areas in the US, Detroit is a Democratic Party stronghold.

 

Michigan, where early voting has been lengthened to nine days, is only one state that Democrats have a lot to crow about regarding election laws. In Nevada, the distribution of mail ballots to every voter has been made permanent.

There are a couple of avenues that state Republican committees could take that would help them over the finish line in the upcoming presidential election. Across the nation, drop-box locations are determined by any number of local officials, from the county clerk to the Board of Supervisors. Republicans should be focusing on these small and seemingly unimportant elections because those who hold seats in these governing bodies exert a great deal of power during election time.

They could also go in the direction of Georgia, in which new laws limit drop boxes. Across the Peach State a new statute restricts their use so that only one box is permitted for every 100,000 active registered voters. These receptacles will no longer be located on street corners but inside voting and election facilities and will only be open to the public during early voting hours.

The MIT Election Data Science Lab conducted a study on the 2020 election. It found “Sixty percent of Democrats, compared to 32 percent of Republicans, reported voting by mail.” But what is more troubling for Republicans is another key finding: “Sixty percent of mail voters stated that it was ‘very likely’ they would vote by mail again, 65 percent of Democrats and 49 percent of Republicans.”

Instead of intra-party squabbling or trying to roll back vote-by-mail laws, the GOP should tend to the things that matter most, which always begin at the granular level. This means they should push for an equal distribution of drop boxes. It also means paying attention to local city and county elections and motivating Republican state committees to hit the streets and urge people to vote by mail.

None of this is new, but time is short. If Republicans focus more on process than person, they are likely to see a better outcome in 2024.

US Consumers Are Tapped Out, New Study Finds

Pandemic-era savings are set to be exhausted.  

By Andrew Moran September 23, 2023 @ Liberty Nation News

Every time the United States economy appears to be turning a corner, something happens to dash all hope. From bank failures to a reacceleration in inflation, the post-pandemic country is being bombarded with challenges that could break the nation, leaving 300 million consumers to fend for themselves amid a wasteland of high prices, labor strife, corporate bankruptcies, drained savings accounts, and a devalued greenback. Well, at least households can take comfort that the voting public does not have to endure mean tweets in this environment.

Ninety-two percent of Americans have trimmed their spending over the last six months, according to a new CNBC-Morning Consult survey. The poll of more than 4,400 US adults found that more cautious consumers have been reducing their spending on apparel (63%), bars and restaurants (62%), vacations (53%), and electronics (60%). But here is one noteworthy part of the study: 54% have been cutting groceries.

Across the board, households in all income levels say they are feeling the impact of the economy on their personal finances. This includes the 46% of US households earning $100,000 or more, although that is down from the 55% when the same survey was conducted in June.

The busy holiday shopping season is still a few months away, but companies might need to brace for less cheerful shoppers. The research shows that more than three-quarters say they will decrease their spending on non-essential items over the next six months. Additionally, 62% intend to lower their spending on essential goods and services over this same span.

Are these numbers surprising? Not really. Other metrics have alluded to the same prevaling attitude of caution. The widely watched University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index has been retreating since hitting a two-year high in July. Plus, the institution’s Current Economic Conditions Index plunged in September amid soaring food and energy prices. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently published the results of its monthly Survey of Consumer Expectations. It revealed that households were less optimistic about their financial situations as their outlook regarding income growth, employment status, and credit conditions diminished. Once again, inflation was the cause as respondents’ year-ahead commodity price projections climbed everywhere, be it gasoline or medical care.

Recent developments in the US marketplace point to further weakness ahead for consumers.

Reading the Tea Leaves

In August, the San Francisco Fed Bank reported that US households held less than $200 billion of the aggregate $2.1 trillion in pandemic-era savings. Economists project that this will be fully exhausted before the year is over. This is a reliable forecast for two reasons. The first is that the personal savings rate has cratered again, falling to 3.5% in July, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The second is that consumer prices increased for two straight months and could be poised for a third as a basket of goods and services has revved up again.

In the second quarter, nominal total credit card debt exceeded $1 trillion for the first time on record. While the bottom-line figure is undoubtedly a problem, servicing this red ink is a genuine herculean task – some might say a Sisyphean feat – with average credit card interest rates at around 21%. Estimates from WalletHub show that the central bank’s rate hikes have added billions of dollars extra to consumers’ monthly bills from MasterCard and Visa. What’s worse is that delinquency rates are starting to inch higher for borrowers, whether for these pieces of plastic or personal loans.

“US consumers are adding new credit card debt at a nearly unprecedented rate,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst, in a note. “We added tens of billions of dollars in new credit card debt to our tab during the second quarter alone, which indicates that people are increasingly needing to borrow to make ends meet.” But she noted: “Nevertheless, household finances are still in surprisingly strong shape.”

The Eccles Building has essentially confirmed that borrowing costs will remain higher for longer. Indeed, the Federal Open Market Committee’s Summary of Economic Projections shows that coming down from 22-year-high interest rates will be a slow and steady descent. As a result, consumers will find it harder to keep their heads above water, especially if their rainy-day funds are eroding amid an elevated cost of living and a depreciating US dollar.

So, This is Bidenomics?

By reading statements from the White House, scanning posts from President Joe Biden on X (previously Twitter), and watching the left-leaning talking heads on television, the typical person would think that this is the greatest economy ever because of Bidenomics. Sure, conditions are decent if people do not live under a roof, eat food, or drive an automobile. Despite the globalists desiring the public to live in coffin apartments a la Hong Kong, imbibe bugs, and ride bicycles, the reality for most people is that everything is expensive, a buck buys a nickel’s worth, and the US economy is barely alive.

Caught-Red-Handed’: Scientists Call for Full Retraction of Nature’s Proximal Origin Paper, as Fraud Accusations Mount

“‘Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,’ the authors wrote in February. Yet a trove of recently published documents reveal that Andersen and his co-authors believed that the lab leak scenario was not just possible, but likely.” ~ Jon Miltimore

  Jon Miltimore – July 31, 2023 @ American Institute for Economic Research

A growing number of people, including prominent scientists, are calling for a full retraction of a high-profile study published in the journal Nature in March 2020 that explored the origins of SARS-CoV-2. The paper, whose authors included immunology and microbiology professor Kristian G. Andersen, declared that evidence clearly showed that SARS-CoV-2 did not originate from a laboratory. “Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,” the authors wrote in February. 

Yet a trove of recently published documents reveal that Andersen and his co-authors believed that the lab leak scenario was not just possible, but likely. 

“[The] main thing still in my mind is that the lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario,” Andersen said to his colleagues, according to a report from Public, which published a series of Slack messages between the authors. 

Anderson was not the only author who privately expressed doubts that the virus had natural origins. Public cataloged dozens of statements from Andersen and his co-authors—Andrew Rambaut, W. Ian Lipkin, Edward C. Holmes, and Robert F. Garry—between the dates January 31 and February 28, 2020 suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 may have been engineered.

” …the fact that we are discussing this shows how plausible it is,” Garry said of the lab-leak hypothesis. “We unfortunately can’t refute the lab leak hypothesis,” Andersen said on Feb. 20, several days after the authors published their pre-print.  To complicate matters further, new reporting from The Intercept reveals that Anderson had an $8.9 million grant with NIH pending final approval from Dr. Anthony Fauci when the Proximal Origin paper was submitted. 

‘Fraud and Scientific Misconduct’?

The findings have led several prominent figures to accuse the authors of outright deception. Richard H. Ebright, the Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University, called the paper “scientific fraud.”  “The 2020 ‘Proximal Origin’ paper falsely claimed science showed COVID-19 did not have a lab origin,” tweeted Ebright. “Newly released messages from the authors show they did not believe the conclusions of the paper and show the paper is the product of scientific fraud and scientific misconduct.” Ebright and Silver are among those pushing a petition urging Nature to retract the article in light of these findings. Among those to sign the petition was Neil Harrison, a professor of anesthesiology and molecular pharmacology at Columbia University. 

“Virologists and their allies have produced a number of papers that purport to show that the virus was of natural origin and that the pandemic began at the Huanan seafood market,” Harrison told The Telegraph. “In fact there is no evidence for either of these conclusions, and the email and Slack messages among the authors show that they knew at the time that this was the case.”

Only ‘Expressing Opinions’?

Dr. Joao Monteiro, chief editor of Nature, has rebuffed calls for a retraction, The Telegraph notes, saying the authors were merely “expressing opinions.”

This claim is dubious at best. From the beginning, the Proximal Origin study was presented as authoritative and scientific. Jeremy Farrar, a British medical researcher and now the chief scientist at the World Health Organization (WHO), told USA Today that Proximal Origin was the “most important research on the genomic epidemiology of the origins of this virus to date.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, speaking from the White House podium in April 2020, cited the study as evidence that the mutations of the virus were “totally consistent with a jump from a species of an animal to a human.” Fact-check organizations were soon citing the study as proof that COVID-19 “could not have been manipulated.” 

Far from being presented as a handful of scientists “expressing opinions,” the Proximal Origin study was treated as gospel, a dogma that could not even be questioned. This allowed social media companies (working hand-in-hand with government agencies) to censor people who publicly stated what Andersen and his colleagues were saying privately—that it seemed plausible that SARS-CoV-2 came from the laboratory in Wuhan that experimented on coronaviruses and had a checkered safety record.

Indeed, even as media and government officials used the Proximal Origin study to smear people as conspiracy theorists for speculating that COVID-19 might have emerged from the Wuhan lab, a Defense Intelligence Agency study commissioned by the government questioned the study’s scientific rigor.  

“The arguments that Andersen et al. use to support a natural-origin scenario for SARS CoV-2 are based not on scientific analysis, but on unwarranted assumptions,” the now-declassified paper concluded. “In fact, the features of SARS-CoV-2 noted by Andersen et al. are consistent with another scenario: that SARS-CoV-2 was developed in a laboratory…” 

Despite the many problems with the study’s findings, Monteiro continues to resist calls for retraction—perhaps because Monteiro himself publicly inferred that the lab leak hypothesis was a conspiracy theory in March, 2020.  Whatever the case, it remains unclear how long Monteiro can resist calls for a retraction in face of overwhelming evidence of scientific misconduct.    “There can be no doubt the Proximal Origin authors consciously and inappropriately downplayed the #COVID19 research-related origin hypothesis and coordinated efforts manipulating media coverage,” said Jamie Metzl, a former Clinton administration official and a WHO expert advisory committee on human genome editing appointee. 

Power, Accountability, and Impunity 

Why there was such intense pressure to declare that SARS-CoV-2 was of natural origin is obvious today.  The federal government was funding risky coronavirus research at Wuhan Institute of Virology, which would make officials complicit to some degree in a leak of a deadly virus. This is no doubt why the government had an interest in funding the study, which gave them a measure of control over its results. “Jeremy Farrar and Francis Collins [then director of the National Institutes of Health] are very happy. Works for me,” Holmes Slacked his colleagues after the pre-print was submitted.   The Proximal Origin paper increasingly looks like a whitewashing job, and some influential people have noticed. 

“This is a huge scandal,” said statistician and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver. “Scientists like @K_G_Andersen believed a lab leak was extremely plausible, if not likely, they concocted a plan to deceive the public about it, and they’ve been caught red-handed.”   Silver is not wrong; yet so far, no one has been held accountable. 

This lack of accountability is concerning, and to understand why it’s worth consulting age-old concepts of power and justice. As FEE’s Dan Sanchez has observed, power is not the mere exertion of unjust force. True power lies in the use of force and the absence of any accountability.   “Systematically getting away with it—or impunity—is where power truly lies,” wrote Sanchez.

In his famous work Republic, Plato showed what raw power looked like. The legendary “Ring of Gyges” did not make one strong. It made one invisible. This did not mean the wearer could do anything he wanted, but it did mean he would never be held accountable for his acts of injustice. 

This is the most frightening part of raw state power. The greatest danger is not that people will act unethically. It’s not even that state actors will commit crimes to serve “a greater good.” The real danger begins when people are not held accountable—even when they are caught “red-handed.”

Humor, pandemic style

April 21, 2023  By Cindy Simpson

A joke fell flat on the stage of “Saturday Night Live” a few weeks ago, but the reverberations are still being heard across the country. It happened when Woody Harrelson shocked the live audience with this short joke about a Hollywood script he had rejected:

"Okay, so the movie goes like this: The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them, over and over. I threw the script away. I mean, who is gonna believe that crazy idea?”

The audience fell mostly silent, with only a few nervous titters. Then, after letting what he had just dared to say hang in the air over his shocked audience a few seconds longer, Harrelson recovered by adding, “Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day long.” Finally, some real laughter erupted. But why was the initial response so tepid?...............To Read More....

William L. Kovacs

The Federal government has left citizens living in information confusion, misinformation and conspiracy theories. Information clutter helps explain why only two in ten Americans trust Washington to do the right thing. But distinguishing between good and bad quality information should never be difficult when the information comes from our government.

There is a U.S. law that mandates that government-disseminated information be accurate and useful and have integrity. The federal government just refuses to abide by the Information Quality Act (IQA), section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for FY 2001.

The Information Quality Act is designed to foster trust.

The IQA requires that the Office of Management of Budget (“OMB”) ensure and maximize “… the quality, objectivity, utility and integrity of information (including statistical information) disseminated by federal agencies.”

In 2002, OMB issued detailed guidelines defining the IQA terms. Information disseminated by the government was to be accurate (precise, complete and unbiased); useful to intended users; and possessing integrity (protected from manipulation). OMB also set forth a correction process for citizens, including experts, to challenge data inaccuracies.

For influential scientific information, there must be a "high degree of transparency about data and methods to facilitate the reproducibility of such information by qualified third parties." IQA procedures were designed to build trust in government information by following a modified scientific method of testing and reproducibility of data.

Information was defined as “any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts or data, in any medium or form.” Dissemination of information to the public includes agency distribution of information to the public.

While opinions are not covered by the IQA, when it is presenting an opinion instead of information, the agency must clearly identify it as an opinion.

Had IQA guidelines been followed during Covid, for example, the federal government would have provided the public with more useful information.

By not following IQA guidelines during Covid briefings, misinformation and opinion were often presented as fact, without any supporting documentation or without the statement being noted as opinion. 

As a result, citizens were forced to live in lockdowns, masks were mandated, schools were closed, causing massive learning losses, and natural immunity was deemed a conspiracy theory. Government agencies issued mandates, but provided little supporting information and never presented what levels of uncertainty were involved.

The Biden administration waffled between Presidential statements that it was seeking evidence-based information on Covid’s origins – and the unequivocal statements of leading scientist Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pronounced that it came from an animal.  After several years of delay, the FBI and Energy Department finally informed the public that “the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a [Wuhan] laboratory leak,” not from animals.

This served yet again to highlight the difficulty of believing the federal government.

Federal public guidance consisted of Dr. Fauci communicating inconsistent health-related information. First he told the public, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.” A few weeks later, he supported universal masking. Subsequently, he endorsed double masking.

Then, as independent scientists offered contrary views, Fauci and his boss, Francis Collins, formulated a press strategy to discredit the credibility of their leading critics, by labeling them conspiracy theorists.

Federal misinformation fostered a state of fear. Eventually, state Attorneys General brought a lawsuit over the legality of Fauci's mask mandates. In depositions, Fauci could not identify any study he relied upon to support his conflicting policy pronouncements. And when asked direct questions about his knowledge of the virus’s origins or tests supporting his conclusions, he said he “could not remember.”

Such misinformation harmed public health. Not surprisingly, a recent Lancet study found that public trust in government is vital to effectively implementing public health measures.

Since its enactment, the federal government refused to implement the IQA.

From the moment OMB issued the IQA guidelines, federal agencies fought to undermine its implementation. Agencies viewed OMB’s guidelines as discretionary. The Department of Justice supported the agencies in court filings.

The public filed lawsuits against agencies to implement the guidelines and correct inaccurate information. These efforts failed. The courts avoided interpreting the substance of the statute, holding that private parties lacked standing to enforce IQA requirements. The federal courts gave agencies complete discretion on the type of information disseminated to the public.

With strong resistance from the federal government, the IQA drifted into obscurity. It is amazing that on something as vital as public health issues, courts failed or refused to recognize that citizens can be directly injured by public health misinformation.

Imagine if federal agencies followed IQA.

If the IQA had been implemented during Covid, federal agencies would have been limited to disseminating only reliable, consistent, reproducible information – or disclose that the agencies did not have supporting data. Under the IQA, “Mr. Science,” Dr. Fauci, would have been required to inform the public that his daily statements were mere opinions. The public would have known the truth, which would have allowed people to seek guidance from knowledgeable health professionals.

Government health misinformation is propaganda. Fortunately, it can be immediately remedied.

Government information permeates all of our society, from healthcare to climate change, nutrition and labor statistics. Good quality information is essential for protecting government agencies themselves, as well as families, businesses, schools, hospitals and society as a whole.  

When government presents misinformation or mere personal opinion as the truth, it harms the citizens it has sworn to protect. When agencies present computer models as evidence (or proof) that we face imminent manmade climate disasters, they likewise harm our economy and lives, unless the models’ results are confirmed by real-world observations, measurements or data.

Fortunately, the government misinformation can be immediately remedied. President Biden could today order OMB to implement the statute by reinstating and enforcing the original IQA Guidelines.

Moreover, Congress could codify the 2002 guidelines and clarify that citizens suffer injury when government misinformation harms their ability to protect their health, livelihoods and welfare.

Africa a medical mystery to the globalist COVID elites

 

February 12, 2023 By Monica Showalter

When someone has had success in beating off a global pandemic, shouldn't they maybe get some kind of laurels? At a minimum, it would makes sense to learn what they learned so as to get the same result. That's how actual science works, or at least, it did. Not to the global bureaucrats of the World Health Organization (WHO), which can't stop telling African countries on a continent that has great success in beating COVID, what to do.

12 Ways The New Congress Should Hold Big Pharma Accountable For Covid Evils

We need to recognize what contributed to the insane pandemic response and implement solutions to make sure nothing like it ever happens again.

 

By: David Thalheimer November 29, 2022

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed a crisis of confidence in our so-called elites and technocrats, who are supposed to serve the public but instead appear to have been serving themselves. So what do we do to restore sanity and medical freedom and make sure a public health disaster never happens again? Some suggest “amnesty” for those who went to extremes during the pandemic. Absolutely not. What we need is to recognize what contributed to the insane pandemic response and implement solutions to make sure nothing like it ever happens again.

Now that the GOP has a majority in the House and some members want to hold Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), and others accountable, here are 12 steps Congress can take to curb future pharma corruption and malfeasance.........To Read More.....

 

Democrats Don’t Want Federal Employees to Have to Come to Work

Daniel Greenfield October 26, 2022 @ Sultan Knish Blog 

The pandemic divided Americans into two classes: those who could work from home and those who could not. Federal government employees were members of the privileged class.

And they don’t want that to change.

During the pandemic, over 90% of the EPA, USAID, the Department of Education and, ironically, the Department of Labor, were 'working' online.

The utility of federal agencies could roughly be measured by whether their employees were mostly showing up to work, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs, or were permanently out to lunch like the Department of Housing and Urban Development which did the vast majority of its work over the internet..

While the pandemic is over, the privilege of the political pajama class isn’t.

Long before the pandemic, Obama had signed into law the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010. Two years before the pandemic, Rep. Sarbanes of Maryland, who had originally introduced the Act, alongside Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia, both of whose districts are full of federal workers, proposed the Telework Metrics and Cost Savings Act to free even more federal employees from having to come to work. The 2018 Telework Metrics and Cost Savings Act wanted over a fifth of federal employees working from home in response to efforts by the Trump administration to get them to come to the office.

“We must push back against the Trump administration’s repeated attacks on federal telework programs," Sarbanes had complained.

That bill never went anywhere, but it’s now being rebooted by Sarbanes and Connolly as the 2022 Telework Metrics and Cost Savings Act with a new post-pandemic gloss.

The bill once again includes a ‘floor’ on online work for government workers.

Rep. Sarbanes told an interviewer that his bill would "pressure, in some instances, the agencies, all agencies, to look at how they can embrace telework."

During his State of the Union address, Biden had promised that, "The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.” The telework push violates that promise which was never properly implemented. At the time, Republican House members Rep. James Comer and Rep. Jody Hice had warned that not only weren't government workers back on the job, but that the Office of Personnel Management was describing a transition to a "hybrid work environment" and promising to use the experience of the pandemic to "integrate telework and remote work".

Biden, his speechwriters and his teleprompters were not telling the truth. The administration's appointees and political allies had been hard at work, figuratively, cutting attendance requirements and allowing federal employees to stay home well after the threat had passed.

A month later, Rep. Yvette Herrell had proposed her SHOW Up Act, which argued that "Americans are struggling to receive their tax refunds, veterans are having difficulties accessing their benefits, and it’s all because of backlogs created by expanded telework policies for federal bureaucrats. It is long overdue for the federal workforce to return to work in person."

But pandemic ‘zoom’ work was not a temporary phenomenon. Nor was it meant to be.

Rep. Connolly cheered that due to the pandemic, "the cultural barriers to telework have essentially collapsed."

Rep. Sarbanes boasted that, "You’re going to continue to see a real premium on this that has been kind of enhanced and introduced to a lot of the workforce because of the pandemic."

This is not about the pandemic. It's a longstanding effort by politicians who represent government workers legislating to protect them from having to actually work. Much as teachers’ unions tried to keep schools closed in order to force a permanent transition to ‘zoom class’, federal unions exploited the pandemic to fundamentally restructure what their jobs look like.

The teachers didn’t want to come back to work. Ever. Neither do federal bureaucrats. And both have powerful unions and a lot of politicians working for them, not for citizenry.

While some remote work makes sense, the pandemic push to have federal government workers stay at home proved disastrous.

25% of Department of Health and Human Services personnel didn't even bother logging in.

A Functional Government Initiative report revealed that HHS had discovered that, "on any given day from March-December 2020, between 20-30 percent of HHS employees did not appear to be working". The report had to be leaked because of the partisan political pressure to push telework without any regard for the consequences to citizen services or national security.

Senior citizens and disabled people calling social security hotlines were unable to get through because the SSA had put workers who couldn't take calls at home on leave. The IRS proved even more dysfunctional with offices overwhelmed and hotline calls going unanswered.

National defense, which has already been compromised by multiple Chinese and Russian hacks, has new vulnerabilities being introduced in order to accomodate online work for people handling classified materials. Despite that, Biden’s Defense Department people are pushing telework because national security isn’t a Democrat priority, but catering to federal unions is.

“As we look at our reentry to the workplace, we can’t expect to return to ‘business as usual’,” Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks argued. “Throughout the pandemic we learned a lot about how we can embrace telework."

While career bureaucrats like Hicks “embrace” working in their pajamas, thousands of active duty military personnel who risked their lives under fire are being forced out over Biden’s illegal vaccine mandates. The same policies are destroying the military in two complementary ways, firing heroes who actually show up in the line of fire, while enabling DOD bureaucrats to log in online to their daily diversity seminars. This is a simple process for destroying the military.

It’s understandable that federal unions want to use politicians like Sarbanes and Connolly to maximize their benefits. And that includes not having to commute to work. Especially in Washington D.C. The country would probably get along better if the majority of federal employees stayed home and never showed up to work at all. Especially in the EPA and the Department of Education which make the country worse each hour that they’re on the job.

But the demands for telework are another painful reminder to most of the country that the balance of power long ago shifted away from voters and to the administrative state. And while we would be better off without much of the federal government, telework tends to hit customer services first as we saw with the IRS and social security hotlines. Federal agencies won’t actually stop working or cashing checks, but they will be sloppier in ways that hurt people.

Telework will then make accountability and getting answers much harder to achieve.

National security agencies pursuing telework benefits are exposing even more of our systems to our foreign adversaries. Even when online work doesn’t involve any classified information, remote accesses help open doors that our enemies can begin to exploit.

And it’s not only agencies and departments that are directly intelligence or military in nature whose telework poses a national security threat.

The Office of Personnel Management is at the epicenter of both engaging in telework, (75% or more of OPM employees worked remotely during the pandemic), and promoting it to the rest of the government, but it was responsible for one of the worst government hacks under Obama.

The OPM hack by the Chinese Communist regime exposed tens of millions of records and provided the enemy in Beijing with a thorough list of government employees including possible secret operatives. Hearings into the hack revealed that OPM had not secured the majority of its own systems. And that a contractor who had been brought on board to manage personnel records had one administrator in Argentina and another in China.

Telework is a bad risk.

Americans already pay for a massive government bureaucracy. Would it be too much to ask its members to actually show up to work?

The Lockdowns and Mandates Emboldened the Ruling Class and Led to the Raid on Mar-a-Lago

By Steve McCann  August 11, 2022

The entire panoply of the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic countermeasures, from lockdowns to vaccine mandates, has been a once in a century fiasco and among the biggest blunders in American history.  This chapter is also the catalyst that emboldened an already despotic ruling class and the American left:

• to unabashedly take their fraudulent manipulation of elections out of the shadows and into the daylight,
• to no longer hide their socialist agenda,
• to brazenly weaponize the justice system against their political opponents, and
• to be so audacious as to unjustifiably raid the home of President Trump, their archenemy.

Over the centuries, in virtually all societies, people known to be infected by various diseases were confined and isolated to mitigate the spread and protect the rest of society.  Never has a nation essentially shut down its economy, closed schools and confined the entire populace.  Nor has the United States ever enforced de facto national mandates for unproven and potentially dangerous vaccines.  And, never in the nation’s history has a pandemic been politicized in order to defeat a certain candidate and benefit one political party..............The Lockdowns and Mandates Emboldened the Ruling Class and Led to the Raid on Mar-a-Lago

Here is The Data to Prove ‘The Shots Don’t Work!’

Dr. Henry Ealy | Jul 23, 2022 | Health, Politics 

In This Special Report

• In a shock to no one, quadruple-injected Joe Biden tested positive for COVID…AGAIN. 

• Nationwide, there are just under 12 Million Confirmed Vaccine Breakthrough Cases where the shot failed to prevent infection. An increase of more than 10 Million failures in less than 7 months and with only a handful of states tracking this crucial data. 

• There are just over 276,000 Confirmed Vaccine Breakthrough Hospitalizations where the shot failed to keep people out of the hospital. The average cost per hospitalization? An average of $74,591 to $317,810 per person, according to FairHealth.org.

• There are over 56,000 Confirmed Vaccine Breakthrough Deaths, proof the shots don’t save lives. How many of the supposed COVID deaths were vaccinated? If the CDC knows, they’re not telling.

• The CDC stopped reporting all vaccine breakthrough data in October 2021, not coincidentally, just as vaccine breakthroughs began skyrocketing. 

• At the peak of state reporting in February 2022, there were only 26 states reporting vaccine breakthrough data. By June 2022, that number had dropped to 17 as nine states decided to terminate all breakthrough reporting despite the urgent need for this data. 

• While many states like Florida refuse to report any vaccine breakthrough data, some states like Colorado decided inexplicably to switch from reporting vaccine breakthroughs to reporting a made-up statistic never used before called vaccine efficacy, and other states like Texas and Massachusetts stopped reporting altogether. 

• Maryland & Utah are actually doing an excellent job of publishing vaccine breakthrough data and demonstrating clearly that the majority of cases and hospitalizations are in the ‘fully vaxxed’ compared to the ‘unvaxxed,’ proving the shots don’t work.

They Really Are Actively Trying to Totally Destroy This Nation.

By Rich Kozlovich 

As a history buff I'm intellectually aware of  how societies are manipulated, and how that manipulation can generate insane actions by people.  They become impassioned, demanding everyone's views and actions coincide with their own.  And yet equally malleable by the powers that be, with continued manipulation driving them deeper and deeper into a Lewis Carroll rabbit hole of self destructive insanity.  

Seeing it happen to American society hits a nerve because it's not an intellectual exercise any longer, it's a reality that has consequences that means something vile and evil to the nation, using the power of government to violate every Constitutional restraint in place. 

Double standards and violation of standing laws are the only consistent observable standard.  They rail against discrimination, yet openly practice it against Jews, Asians and Christians.  How can any rational person not believe their goal is the destruction of the American culture, the American identity, the American economy and the Constitution?  Why?  To quote the Canada Free Press:  Because without America, there is no free world.  And that's what they want.  A world run by insane leftist tyrants.

We really do need to get that.  

So, let's start with how this happens with this first piece, then progress into various issues that are destroying the nation, and this is the least of them.  We're now living in a post Constitutional era being run by people with no valid foundational moral values working to impose tyranny on society. 

This Scary Experiment Explains Two Years of COVID Hell - By Vic Hughes  April 29, 2022 -  We have just gone through a nationwide, and actually a worldwide, Asch Conformity Experiment.  As implied, the goal of the experiment was not to get to the truth.  It was to get conformity.  Only conformity is allowed. Asch showed that people will actually believe things that they know to be false if they think everybody else believes those things.  That is the point of the COVID nightmare experiment we just lived though.  You must believe:

• COVID is hugely riskier than it actually was, so any actions are justified.
• Vaccines are your only hope, even though the technology has never worked.
• Vaccines are safe and effective, although they were tested for only a few months.
• The unvaxxed are subhuman murderers, to be shunned and even left to die.
• Not wearing a known-to-be-useless mask is a sign of relentless selfishness.
• Children, who are at almost no risk, must be vaxxed, or they will kill Granny.

None of these makes sense.  However, no dissent can be allowed because the Asch Conformity Experiment showed that if one person stands up to the narrative, it is easier for the second one to dissent.  Then another and another stand up, and then control is lost.

That is why every dissenting voice must be silenced.  If one person cries, "The Emperor has no clothes," people will see the naked truth.  And that can't be allowed.  What is the Asch Experiment?............Editor's Note:  This seems to me to be variation of the Stockholm Syndrome.  RK

Biden Budget Plan Spends Billions in American Tax Dollars on Lawyers for Border Crossers, Illegal Aliens - John Binder 28 Mar 2022- President Joe Biden is seeking more than twice as much in American taxpayer funding to defend the borders of Ukraine against Russia than he is seeking for “border security technology” at the United States-Mexico border. On Monday, Biden unveiled his nearly $6 trillion fiscal year 2023 budget. As part of the budget, Biden wants to spend $682 million on funding for Ukraine, which he touts as “an increase of $219 million above the 2021 enacted level, to continue to counter Russian malign influence and to meet emerging needs related to security, energy, cyber security issues, disinformation, macroeconomic stabilization, and civil society resilience.” Meanwhile, Biden is seeking less than half of that — just $309 million in taxpayer funding — for “border security technology” at the U.S.-Mexico border while seeking $494 million to process border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.

Biden's Budget Proposes $5 Million For "Implicit Bias Training" Grants For Health Care Providers - Chrissy Clark Education Reporter March 28 - President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requested $5 million for “implicit bias training” for health care providers, according to the administration’s fiscal year 2023 budget proposal released on Monday. The administration proposed $127.3 billion in discretionary funding, $5 million of which would reportedly “reduce and prevent implicit bias, racism, and discrimination in maternity care settings and to advance respectful, culturally congruent, trauma-informed care” via “implicit bias training,” according to the budget brief. HHS never appropriated funds for such training in years past.

Biden’s DHS Confirms Plans to Siphon Healthcare Services Away from Veterans to Illegal Aliens at Border - John Binder 28 Apr 2022 - President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has seemingly confirmed plans to siphon healthcare services away from American veterans treated at Veterans Affairs (VA) to illegal aliens arriving at the United States-Mexico border. During a hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed to Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) that the Biden administration is in talks with VA officials to potentially transfer doctors and nurses to the southern border to treat illegal aliens arriving every day in record-breaking numbers.........

Blue States Used Democrat-Passed Coronavirus Relief Funds to Implement CRT in Schools - Hannah Bleau 28 Apr 2022 - Blue states, including New York and California, used Democrat-passed coronavirus relief funds to usher in the Marxist ideology Critical Race Theory (CRT) into schools, according to reports. Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act in March 2021, which President Biden signed into law shortly after. Republicans did not support the measure, but it passed in both chambers, as Democrats hold a majority. It included billions supposedly allocated to “safely” reopen schools. In August, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said New York’s plan to use the funds to “support K-12 schools and students” laid “the groundwork for the ways in which an unprecedented infusion of federal resources will be used to address the urgent needs of America’s children and Build Back Better.” However, using the funds for CRT went far beyond just blue New York..........

America's 'Car of State' Is Running Off the Road -  By William Manning  April 29, 2022 - John Adams defined a republic as a "government of laws, and not of men."  The concept of the United States as a republic is quickly becoming an illusion. Envision the republic as a vehicle that has transported the nation from 1776 to the present.  It is the responsibility and duty of the people of the United States to assure that the republic is fit to continue the journey for which it was intended.  If the republic is a vehicle, then its engine is the Constitution and subordinate laws.  Many suggest that the Constitution  should be viewed as a living document, 

 "that evolves, changes over time, and adapts to new circumstances without being formally amended."  

This is the view that liberals have advocated since the New Deal..........

Abolish the FBI or Face an American Putin- By Adam Mill April 10, 2022 - Following the death of Stalin, the Soviet secret police pivoted from heavy-handed mass arrests to a subtler, but still sinister, system of mass spying and accumulation of “kompromot,” or compromising material, on its citizens. The Soviets maintained control by prioritizing spying on religious figures, political activists, journalists, and public officials.  We’re now finding out that the FBI in America has a similar program of mass surveillance of similar targets. And, as with the Soviets, much of the spying has nothing to do with investigating crime. According to a Justice Department internal audit report, the FBI maintained an active caseload of 24,584 cases during the 18 months between January 2018 and June of 2019. 

 

A grossly disproportionate share of those cases involved surveillance of influential Americans such as candidates for office, public officials, journalists, religious leaders, and political activists.When the FBI targets an individual wielding high social influence, it categorizes the case as “sensitive.” ..............The FBI is more than a dysfunctional agency. If it merely failed to fulfill its mandate, it might be a tolerable nuisance. Instead, the FBI has proven to be the single greatest threat to the very Constitution it is supposed to serve and protect. Its domestic spying program and its network of unaccountable informants lead to few bonafide criminal cases but many wholesale violations of constitutional principles..................
