The Incidence of Cancer, Triggered by
the Covid 19 “Vaccine”
Several months ago, we expressed at least
“theoretical reservations” about vaccinating
cancer patients or former patients who had been
cured, because of the underlying mechanism of the
gene injection on immunity.
Several
geneticists had also expressed their concerns
about the possible interference between
active or dormant cancer cells and the
activity of gene therapy on lymphocytes in
particular.
Months have passed, and
the vaccine madness has amplified, leading to the
refusal of patients without a passport in hospitals
(which, as is well known, are intended to receive
only healthy people) and to the demand that patients
be vaccinated before receiving any treatment,
including cancer patients.
We are in a world gone
mad and yet these stories are multiplying, such as
this young man of 22 years who had a chronic cough
leading to an X-ray discovering a mediastinal mass.
The two big Paris hospitals that received him
refused to start the treatment (without it being
explained in detail) if the patient refused the
experimental injection, of absolutely
unknown effects on the development of cancers.
The doctors’
justification? None: “that’s the way it is”, and we
have accepted it!
Silence on the
colleagues suspended for lack of obedience and
even more on the objective reasons that made them prefer
to lose their jobs, their remuneration, their
houses, their families intolerant to these decisions
as well, rather than submit to the presidential
ukase to accept experimental drugs…
Would more than three
hundred thousand caregivers (a figure that is
probably highly underestimated given the number of
hospitals and clinics currently forced to close beds
and postpone interventions due to lack of personnel)
be crazy, conspiratorial or delusional to the point
of putting themselves in great personal, social,
family, professional and psychological danger?
Have the doctors who
claim that vaccination is safe taken the time
to look at the statistics of the effects reported
and accepted by the official agencies? Are the
FDA, EMA, MHRA also “conspiratorial” when they
release statistics as in the case of VAERS,
which is entity of the CDC:
VAERS as of
September 26, 2021
More than 726,000 Covid
vaccine-related adverse events reported to VAERS
as CDC and FDA overturn advisory committee
recommendations on Pfizer’s third vaccine.
VAERS data released by
the CDC included a total of 726,965 adverse
event reports from all age groups following Covid
vaccines, including 15,386 deaths and 99,410 serious
complications between December 14, 2020, and
September 17, 2021.[1]
Or Eudra
Vigilance pharmacovigilance body of the European
Medicines Agency
Or even the
ANSM, our French agency, which shows more than
1200 deaths accepted as at least
possibly related to these experimental injections.
All therapeutic trials
for fifty years were stopped after a few deaths for
investigation (53 deaths stopped the H1N1 vaccine).
Here, thousands of deaths throughout the world and
children are shamelessly attacked[2]. How can we
continue to believe that this is a health policy?
Why this denial of the
most solid sects on the part of theoretically
educated doctors, capable of obtaining information
directly from reliable sources and equipped with a
brain?
Fear of the boss, of the
director, who in a few months’ time will inevitably
be called into question, since many countries are
backtracking and even Germany wants to get out of
vaccine terrorism, perhaps on the occasion of Mrs
Merkel’s departure[3].
“The leading
organizations of contracted physicians in Germany
are demanding an immediate end to the
“anti-corona” measures and an end to the “horror
rhetoric and panic politics”. Obviously, French
hospital doctors in Paris and elsewhere do not read
German newspapers and are terrorized by the threats
of their professional association, their minister,
and become kapos[4] and terrorize their patients.
More and More
Testimonies are Coming In
Whatever their
unacceptable reasons, testimonies are multiplying.
A young girl accompanies
her friend to her mother’s funeral… such a mother,
mother of a high school friend, 34 years old, in
remission from breast cancer for two years, who is
injected with the vaccine and collapses a few days
later in a coma and dies after three days of
hospitalization… Politically correct explanation:
the cancer exploded and took her away. Close the
chapter and the coffin.
What would
Maigret have said? [Historic Police
Investigator]
But too many
coincidences shock the police investigators in front
of a corpse. Only doctors would not have the right
to think about coincidences of time, for example:
“temporality” is their key word…
Like the misleading
slogan, “the
numbers are always right”. Yes, if they are
true and observed in the real world.
But how much confidence
can we have in the rigged simulations that the
government and the media feed us without ever
specifying that they are only predictions or
estimates? 5] But one can do what one wants with the
figures, when one chooses them, or creates them to
justify the chosen hypothesis, and the the results
are totally blurred.
In any case, as far as
“cancer and gene injection” is concerned, the
vagueness unfortunately dissipates in front of the
multitude of terrible stories.
From the colleague who
sees multiple “balls” appearing under her armpits,
which the check-ups in the hospital do not explain…
Obviously no possible link with the vax. And yet the
ganglions that appear some time after the injection
are a frequent observation after these vax.
So clearly there seems
to be three situations:
The appearance
of a cancer rapidly after the injection (two
weeks to a few months) and very progressive, in
a person who was previously free of known
carcinological pathologies.
The resumption
of cancer in a patient who has been in
complete remission for several months or years.
The rapid,
even explosive, evolution of a cancer that is
not yet controlled.
Beyond the testimonies
that are pouring in from relatives and friends and
on social networks, a Swiss newspaper has finally
addressed the subject in a broader way.
Here are some excerpts
from their article[6] and their references[7]:
“Can covid vaccines
cause cancer?
In some cases, the
answer seems to be yes. Certainly, there is no
evidence that the covid vaccines themselves are
carcinogenic. However, it has been shown that in
up to 50% of vaccinees, covid vaccines can induce
temporary immunosuppression or immune
dysregulation (lymphocytopenia) that can last for
about a week or possibly longer.
Furthermore, covid mRNA
vaccines have been shown to “reprogram” (i.e.,
influence) adaptive and innate immune responses
and, in particular, to downregulate the
so-called TLR4 pathway, which is known to
play an important role in the immune response to
infections and cancer cells.”
Thus the authors
conclude that it is quite possible that these immune
changes could have unintended consequences on the
condition of the recipient of the gene injection. A
matter of common sense indeed!
“Thus, if there is
already a tumor somewhere – known or unknown – or
if there is a predisposition to a certain type of
cancer, such a state of vaccine-induced immune
suppression or immune dysregulation could
potentially trigger sudden tumor growth and cancer
within weeks of vaccination. It should be noted
that lymphocytopenia was also frequently observed
in cases of severe covid.
Post-vaccination
reactivation of latent viral infections, including
shingles virus, EBV (Epstein-Barr) and hepatitis
virus, has also been observed.
“Vaccine-induced
temporary immunosuppression is also a factor that
may contribute to the post-vaccination spike in
coronavirus infections seen in many countries.”
Frequency of
Vaccine Related Adverse Event in Cancer
There
are already a few thousand observations in
official adverse event reporting and online
patient groups. There are certainly true
coincidences or diagnostic delays due to delayed
diagnosis related to containment. But we should not
dismiss the huge problems that these real people
affected in their daily lives and even more the
responsibility that cancer doctors take by imposing
the injection before any treatment or protocol
continuation. Their main argument: “we did it right,
without discussion” does not seem worthy of a once
thoughtful profession.
In August 2021, Dr.
Ryan Cole,[8] an American pathologist for many
years, described
a significant increase in certain types of
cancer (e.g.
endometrial cancer, uterine cancer) since the
beginning of the covid mass vaccination campaign. More recently,
German pathologists have also noted the problem of
post-vaccination immune dysregulation and sudden
tumor growth in some patients.
On the French
networks, several testimonies coincide with the
reappearance of vaginal hemorrhages in women over
85 years of age leading to the diagnosis of
endometrial cancer and rapid death… The spike
protein produced by the body following the
injection is particularly attracted to the
genitals, and this would be a new demonstration of
this.
So until we know more,
let’s be careful, both doctors and caregivers, and
not play the sorcerer’s apprentice!
Caution
is required with all experimental treatments and
even more so when they are the result of a
technique never used before in infectious
pathology. First, do no
harm must guide the decisions of any physician
faithful to his Hippocratic oath.

If the clot shots are
"safe and effective" what's the problem?
The
immediate problem is indemnification. Pfizer has
been hesitant to go into some of the countries
because of the liability problems, they don’t have a
liability shield. So we work with the countries to
try to do that. But I think also some of the other
vaccine manufacturers may be able to go into
countries because they’re operating through
subsidiaries. This is all something that we’re
exploring, and our goal, my goal, is to have
vaccines available throughout the developing world
based on what their countries decide. We’ve got
financing available but the countries need to choose
systems and then begin buying or receiving the
vaccines. — World Bank President

It’s not as cold and
inhospitable in the land of conspiracy theories as
it used to be
‘Did you hear it?’
said a friend of mine, red-faced with the flush of a
piece of news she couldn’t wait to offload, as she
rushed into a church hall where we were attending an
event.
She was bursting with
excitement because a mutual acquaintance had just been
on a radio phone-in show banging the drum for the
vaccine. I confessed I had not heard it, because I had
no idea she was planning to go on. But it didn’t
surprise me because this lady has had a go at me for
being ‘one of those anti-vaxxers’ because I won’t have
the jab — mainly because I’ve recovered from Covid.
She apparently made
quite an impression on the radio. She took the
programme by storm, asserting that everyone should
have the vaccine because her husband nearly died of
Covid despite being previously healthy.
‘What a cheek!’ was my
instinctive comment, because that was not what my
friend told me at the time. She rang me back then and
told me the doctors had warned her that her husband’s
kidneys were in bad shape which was why he was
struggling to clear the virus.
When they discharged
him they told him to change his lifestyle. She told me
repeatedly in the months following his release from
hospital that he was a new man because the whole
experience had been a wake-up call.
But a year later,
she’s on a radio phone-in publicly condemning those
who don’t want the vaccine on the basis that if her
husband can get it and nearly die, then anyone can.
I conclude that there
is a lot of misinformation on both sides of this
debate. It’s not just the so-called
tin foil hat brigade who are churning out myths and
hysteria — some of which seem to turn out to be true
months later, for some strange reason I’m sure will
be explained to us in the end.
For their part, my
pro-vaxxer friends are saying just about anything to
get the unvaccinated vaccinated so we can have
Christmas parties and go on holiday, which of course
would be nice. I do get that.
But can they make the
leap that the unvaccinated don’t want to be vaccinated
even if it is to facilitate leisure travel and
evenings out? That is an inconvenience we’re happy to
put up with. The long, dark evenings just fly by when
you’re polishing your tin hat by the fire while
googling the latest conspiracy theories, believe me.
There’s never a dull moment when you’ve a YouTube
virology lecture to watch.
Also,
millions of us don’t fancy the jab for a host of
different reasons. We are not all the same. I want
to rely on my own natural antibodies having caught
Covid and recovered from it during the notorious
Delta period, albeit with my sense of smell
and taste not quite what they were.
The
only thing we tin foil hatters have in common is
that we are resisting peer pressure. I’d like to know what evidence there is
to show that the vaccine would make me less of a
risk to others, especially when an Israeli study
shows natural immunity is far stronger and longer
lasting than vaccine immunity.
I sometimes get the
feeling my vaccinated friends just want me to tick the
box so they can get on a plane.
The builder boyfriend
insists there is a sea change happening on this front,
however. Several of his wealthy customers have told
him they don’t care if they never see their villa
again.
They
have gone from stating, at around the time of the
second jab, that everyone must be vaccinated, to
stating, from around the time of the third jab, that
they will not countenance any more being put into
them or their children. Two of the BB’s
richest customers have put their villas on the market.
‘I’ve had two jabs but
I’m not having any more,’ a female friend in her early
sixties tells me. And she is someone who gets on a
plane every few months to go somewhere sunny. She
seems suddenly not to care that her vaccine papers
will soon expire, and that without a third jab, and a
fourth or fifth one next year, she won’t be able to
take a mini-break.
Are the ranks of the
unvaccinated about to swell in numbers? I’m not
recommending either strategy to anyone. I support the
right of the individual to make their own decision.
All I can say is that
it’s not as cold and inhospitable in the land of
conspiracy theories as it used to be, back when the
only people prepared to say they had not been jabbed
were those with skins so thick they didn’t mind being
condemned as moronic — which, completely incidentally,
is an anagram of Omicron.

500 [mostly melanin minority]
school staff fired for declining Covid jab
Nearly 500 public
school employees in Los Angeles were fired after
refusing to comply with a Covid-19 vaccine mandate,
with the city making terminations permanent after
previously suspending a number of workers.
The board of the LA
Unified School District voted 7-0 to cancel 496
employee contracts on Tuesday, according to the Associated
Press, after they missed a deadline to become fully
immunized by November 15. Those who declined to take
their first dose in mid-October had previously been
placed on leave.
“Parting ways with individuals who
choose not to be vaccinated is an extremely
difficult, but necessary decision to ensure the
safety of all in our school communities,” interim district
Superintendent Megan Reilly said after the vote. “We wish everyone
the best in their future endeavors and encourage
everyone to get vaccinated.”
Though most of the
fired employees were non-credentialed staff, some
served in critical roles, including custodians,
cafeteria workers and teacher’s aides, among other
positions.
In contrast to many
districts around the country, LA’s has established
its own Covid-19 vaccine mandate for staff and
students alike, getting ahead of a statewide
requirement that will only come into effect once
federal agencies hammer out approvals for all age
groups. Currently, Los Angeles is urging students to
meet a January 10 deadline for the second semester
of class, a date many are unlikely to meet, as some
34,000 students in LA remain partially or completely
unvaccinated.
However, as of
Wednesday, the district said that a large majority
of its 600,000 or so students had received their
shots as required, or about 85% in total so far.
While noncompliant
LA school employees are already getting their pink
slips, students who decline vaccination and who
receive no official exemption will be required to
either enter an “independent study” program, or leave the
school district altogether, potentially setting up a
massive exodus of students from campus due to the
mandate. (read

Obsessing Over ‘The Health Of
The Nation’ Conjures Some Very Dark Places Hatred of vaccine
dissidents expresses itself first in marginalization
and demonization. Then it advances to punishment.
The larger end game appears to have little to do
with public health.
Twentieth-century authoritarian regimes were obsessed
with cleansing the “unfit” from the national body. A
revival of that toxic urge seeps toward us like gas
under a threshold. The leakage is global.
Nevertheless, recent
news
out of Germany provides a unique lesson in the
tenacity of a malignant ideology.
In mid-November, Germany’s Euthanasia Society declared
COVID vaccination a requirement for
physician-assisted suicide. Citing public health
concerns, the nation that
identified “life-unworthy-of-life” (Lebensunwertes
Leben)
redesigned the concept to include a newly despised
caste. Unvaccinated sufferers wanting to
die are no longer eligible for assisted suicide.
They can be left to their torments, condemned to the
anguish of living as a lesson to everyone else. In
effect, they have been deemed
“life-unworthy-of-death.”
History
gives a glimpse into the mutation of cultural
pathogens. In the early 1930s Germany
embraced the notion of racial hygiene. An offshoot
of Social Darwinism, racial hygiene advanced
previous emphasis on social hygiene with its stress
on public health.
That earlier social
hygiene movement, begun in the 19th century, reached
a peak in the Weimar years. It laid the foundation
for German eugenics and became a prerequisite for
the well-being of the German people. Under National
Socialism, the health and welfare of an individual
was subordinated to the health of the nation.
A
variant of that moral infection returns under its
old cover of public health. Here
is the
November 19 press release from Germany’s Euthanasia
Society (Verein
Sterbehilfe). Google translates:
Euthanasia and the
preparatory examination of the voluntary
responsibility of our members willing to die
require human closeness. Human closeness,
however, is a prerequisite and breeding ground
for corona virus transmission. . . . In the
difficult task of balancing the protection of
our members, employees and doctors with the
practical organization of our everyday life in
the association, Dr. Martin Goßmann, the head of
our medical team, is on hand to advise. More
details can be found in our Code
of Ethics.
The Code presents
assisted suicide (Suizidassistenz) as an extension of
palliative care. It “expands the patient’s options
for action.” The unvaccinated are
now excluded from that option.
The press release
uses the term menschliche Nähe. Many media reports,
using Google Translate, interpret it as “human
closeness.” However, an ample German dictionary
suggests “human contact.” In this instance, contact is more suitable than closeness. To English speakers,
the word closeness carries implication of
emotional connection. But that does not apply here.
Germany’s euthanasia enthusiasts stake their claim
strictly on spatial distance, not personal intimacy.
A more sensitive
definition of nähe—nearby, at close range,
within reach—better illustrates the lunacy at work
here. Vaccination itself requires close contact
between the jabber and the jabbee. The two must be
physically adjacent, within touching distance.
Likewise, the two common methods of assisted
suicide—infusion or injection—require the same
proximity. In the main, distinction between means of
vaccination and assisted suicide is a distinction
without a difference.
Moreover, there
exits a no-hands alternative to supervised suicide
that completely dispenses with “human contact.” Oral
anesthetic combined with barbiturates or a sedative
(typically phenobarbital) can be taken by
individuals themselves. The attending angel can
oversee from a distance to ensure that the patient
falls into a deep sleep prior to succumbing to
cardiac arrest from the barbiturate.
If the euthanizer
has already been vaccinated and boosted, why not add
a hazmat suit for surefire protection? Answer: protection is beside the point. Risk of
contagion is a smokescreen for something more
lethal than COVID.
Call
it malice. Hatred of vaccine dissidents—even
ones in pain or despair—expresses itself first in
marginalization and demonization. Then it advances
to punishment of the non-compliant. We
are in the early stages of coercive retribution.
But the Society’s vindictive decision hints at a
larger end game that has little to do with public
health.
Some
media greeted the Society’s mandate as an
absurdity. But no. It is much more than that. What
appears absurd has purpose behind it.
Germany
is the seedbed of Klaus Schwab’s megalomania and
the aligned ambitions of globalist elites.
They view nonconformity to
vaccination diktats as insubordination, a threat
to the utopian bottom line. Resistance to the
reigning narrative is denounced as irrational. In
the mind of our betters, it suggests mental
illness, and poses a danger to the common good.
Science denial is an error that has no rights.
The death penalty
has been illegal in Germany for decades. Were it not
for the ban, a few pellets of Zyklon B could be
dropped into the would-be suicide’s oxygen tank.
Again, no contact needed. But that would
recall—among other things—the murder of psychiatric
patients in Germany and its occupied territories.
In 1939, Adolf
Hitler ordered the “mercy death” of mentally ill and
handicapped patients. He authorized certain
physicians, appointed by name, to assess incurables
to be granted the kindness of death. By 1945, after
some 70,000 “compassionate” killings, it was public
knowledge that “psychiatry had renounced the care of
the individual in favor of Medizin
für das Ganze (Health for the Nation as a Whole), the
stated goal of the Third Reich.”
Canada’s New
Brunswick province has given food stores the right
to ban the unvaccinated. Austria is proposing fines
or imprisonment. True, Western democracies are not
killing vaccine refuseniks. It is enough, so far, to
tighten the screws gradually.

Bombshell Document Dump on
Pfizer Vaccine Data
Have you seen the document dump on the Pfizer
vaccine data? It’s a bombshell. No wonder the FDA
fought to keep it hidden for 55 years.
Here is the
quick takeaway:
By February of
2021, Pfizer had already received more
than 1,200 reports of death allegedly caused by
the vaccine and tens of
thousands of reported adverse events,
including 23 cases of spontaneous abortions out of
270 pregnancies and more than 2,000 reports of
cardiac disorders.
Bear in mind, this
is Pfizer’s own data.
***
This report
provides the data on deaths and adverse events
recorded by Pfizer from the outset of the vaccine
project in December 2020 to the end
of February 2021, namely a very short period
(at most two and a half months).
What is
contained in this report is detailed evidence
on the impacts of the “vaccine”, which can be used
to confront Big Pharma, as well as the media and
the governments. Bear in mind: data which is
reported and recorded.
This is a de
facto Mea Culpa on the part of Pfizer.
We invite the “Covid-19
Fact Checkers” to peruse this Pfizer
report.
When I saw the left give
up everything I believe in, I changed politically.
You can, too.
For many years—most of
my politically cognizant life, in fact—I felt secure
in my politics. Truth and justice, I believed, leaned
leftward. If you were some version of a decent human
being, you cared about those less fortunate than you,
which meant that you supported a whole host of
measures designed to even the playing field a little.
Sometimes, these measures had unintended consequences
(see under: Stalin, Josef), but that wasn’t reason
enough to despair of the long march to equality.
Besides, there was hardly an alternative: On the other
end of the political transom lurked despicable creeps,
right-wing orcs who either cared for nothing but their
own petty financial interests or, worse, pined for
benighted isms that preached prejudice and hate. We
were on the right side of history. We were the people.
We were the ones giving peace a chance. And, no matter
the present, we were always the future.
This belief carried me
through high school, and a brief stint in a socialist
youth movement. It accelerated me in college, sending
me anywhere from joint marches with Palestinians to a
two-week hunger strike in Jerusalem trying (and
failing) to lower tuition for underprivileged
students. It pulled me to New York, to Columbia
University, to more left-wing politics and activism
and raging against Republicans whose agenda,
especially in the 2000s, seemed like nothing more than
greed and war.
And it wasn’t just an
ideology, some abstract set of convictions that were
accessible only through cracking open dusty old books.
It was the animating spirit of life itself: The dinner
parties I attended on the Upper West Side required
dismissive comments on President Bush just as much as
they did a bit of wine to make the evening bright, and
there was no faster or surer way to signal to a new
acquaintance that you were a kindred spirit than
praising the latest Times editorial. It wasn’t
performative, exactly. At least, it felt real enough,
the reverent rites of a good group of people
protecting itself against the bad guys.
I
embraced my people, and my people embraced me. They
gave me everything I had always imagined I wanted: a
Ph.D. from an Ivy League university; a professorship
at NYU, complete with a roomy office overlooking
Washington Square Park; book deals; columns in smart
little publications; invitations to the sort of
soirees where you could find yourself seated next to
Salman Rushdie or Susan Sontag or any number of the
men and women you grew up reading and admiring. The
list goes on. Life was good. I was
grateful.
And
then came The Turn. If you’ve lived through
it yourself, you know that The Turn doesn’t happen
overnight, that it isn’t easily distilled into one
dramatic breakdown moment, that it happens hazily and
over time—first a twitch, then a few more, stretching
into a gnawing discomfort and then, eventually, a
sense of panic.
You
may be among the increasing numbers of people going
through The Turn right now. Having
lived through the turmoil of the last half
decade—through the years of MAGA and antifa and
rampant identity politics and, most dramatically,
the global turmoil caused by COVID-19—more and more
of us feel absolutely and irreparably politically
homeless. Instinctively, we looked to the Democratic
Party, the only home we and our parents and their
parents before them had ever known or seriously
considered. But what we saw there—and in the
newspapers we used to read, and in the schools whose
admission letters once made us so proud—was
terrifying. However we tried to explain what was
happening on “the left,” it was hard to convince
ourselves that it was right, or that it was
something we still truly believed in. That is what
The Turn is about.
You
might be living through The Turn if you ever found
yourself feeling like free speech should stay free
even if it offended some group or individual but
now can’t admit it at dinner with friends because you
are afraid of being thought a bigot. You
are living through The Turn if you have questions
about public health policies—including the
effects of lockdowns and school closures on the poor
and most vulnerable in our society—but can’t ask them
out loud because you know you’ll be labeled an
anti-vaxxer. You are living through
The Turn if you think that burning down towns and
looting stores isn’t the best way to promote social
justice, but feel you can’t say so because
you know you’ll be called a white supremacist. You are living through The Turn if you
seethed watching a terrorist organization attack the
world’s only Jewish state, but seethed
silently because your colleagues were all on Twitter
and Facebook sharing celebrity memes about ending
Israeli apartheid while having little interest in
American kids dying on the streets because of failed
policies. If you’ve felt yourself
unable to speak your mind, if you have a queasy
feeling that your friends might disown you if you
shared your most intimately held concerns, if you
are feeling a bit breathless and a bit hopeless and
entirely unsure what on earth is going on, I am
sorry to inform you that The Turn is upon you.
The Turn hit me just a
beat before it did you, so I know just how awful it
feels. It’s been years now, but I still remember the
time a dear friend and mentor took me to lunch and
warned me, sternly and without any of the warmth you’d
extend to someone you truly loved, to watch what I
said about Israel. I still remember how confusing and
painful it felt to know that my beliefs—beliefs, mind
you, that, until very recently, were so obvious and
banal and widely held on the left that they were
hardly considered beliefs at all—now labeled me an
outcast. The Turn brings with it the sort of pain most
of us don’t feel as adults; you’d have to go all the
way back to junior high, maybe, to recall a stabbing
sensation quite as deep and confounding as watching
your friends all turn on you and decide that you’re
not worthy of their affection any more. It’s the kind
of primal rejection that is devastating precisely
because it forces you to rethink everything, not only
your convictions about the world but also your idea of
yourself, your values, and your priorities. We all
want to be embraced. We all want the men and women we
consider most swell to approve of us and confirm that
we, too, are good and great. We all want the love and
the laurels; The Turn takes both
away.
But, having been there
before, I have one important thing to tell you: If the left is going to make it “right
wing” to simply be decent, then it’s OK to be right.
Why? Because, after
225 long and fruitful years of this terminology,
“right” and “left” are now empty categories, meaning
little more than “the blue team” and “the green team”
in your summer camp’s color war. You
don’t get to be “against the rich” if the richest
people in the country fund your party in
order to preserve their government-sponsored
monopolies. You are not “a supporter
of free speech” if you oppose free speech for people
who disagree with you. You
are not “for the people” if you pit most of them
against each other based on the color of their skin,
or force them out of their jobs
because of personal choices related to their bodies.
You are not “serious about economic
inequality” when you happily order from Amazon
without caring much for the devastating impact your
purchases have on the small businesses that
increasingly are either subjugated by Jeff Bezos’
behemoth or crushed by it altogether. You are not “for science” if you refuse to
consider hypotheses that don’t conform to your
political convictions and then try to ban critical
thought and inquiry from the internet. You are not an “anti-racist” if you
label—and sort!—people by race. You are not “against
conformism” when you scare people out of voicing
dissenting opinions.
When
“the left” becomes the party of wealthy elites and
state security agencies who preach racial division,
state censorship, contempt for ordinary citizens and
for the U.S. Constitution, and telling people what
to do and think at every turn, then that’s the side
you are on, if you are “on
the left”—those are the policies and beliefs you
stand for and have to defend. It doesn’t matter what
good people “on the left” believed and did 60 or 70
years ago. Those people are dead now, mostly.
They don’t define “the left” anymore than Abraham
Lincoln defines the modern-day Republican Party or
Jimi Hendrix defines Nickelback.
So look at the list of
things supported by the left and ask yourself: Is that
me? If the answer is yes, great. You’ve found a home.
If the answer is no, don’t let yourself be defined by
an empty word. Get out. And once you’re out, don’t let
anyone else define you, either. Not being a left-wing
racist or police state fan doesn’t make you a white
supremacist or a Trump worshipper, either. Only small children, machines, and
religious fanatics think in binaries.
Which isn’t to
diminish the anger, hurt, and confusion you’re feeling
just now. But it’s worth understanding that your story
has a happy ending. The freedom you
feel on the other side is so real it’s physical,
like emerging from a long stretch underwater and
taking that first deep breath in the cool afternoon
air. None of it makes the lost friends or the lost
career opportunities any less painful; but there’s
no more potent source of renewable energy than
liberty, and your capacity to reinvent—yourself,
your group, your life—is greater than you realize.
So
welcome to the right side, friend, and join us in
laughing at all the idiotic name-calling that is
applied, with increasing hysteria, to try and stop
more and more normal Americans from joining our
ranks. Fascists? Conspiracy
theorists? Anti-science racist TERFs? Whatever. We
have a better word to describe ourselves: free.

PRODUCTIVE CANCELLATION
(In this instance, the clot shot was beneficial.)
Vaccinated Washington Post
editor dies of heart failure
A very influential
American vaccine proponent has died after suffering
from "sudden cardiac arrest".
Washington
Post editor Fred Hiatt suffered “sudden
cardiac arrest on November 24” and did not regain
consciousness. Hiatt was a recipient
of the jab after his employer imposed a vaccine
mandate in July to “help safeguard the health and
safety” of the newspaper’s staff.
Hiatt was directly
involved in spreading false news, including the
Russiagate hoax and lies to justify the attack on
Syria. He published “at least” 27 editorials pushing
for war in the six months preceding the invasion of
Iraq, according to PBS’s Bill Moyers.
Lately, Hiatt had
excelled in publishing editorials advocating forced
vaccines, Big Tech censorship, hate speech laws,
mass immigration, gun control, transgenderism and
Critical Race Theory (CRT).
Woman Stabs Her Infant
Daughter to Death to “Fulfill the Last of Her Sins”
People can say “oh
well, crazy people have always done crazy things.”
But we all know it was
never at this rate.
Of
course, no one is keeping track of the statistics on
these types of events. But we all know that this
virus hoax is pushing people over the edge. We all
see the people in our own lives on edge. Probably
none of them killed a baby yet – but eventually,
someone you know will probably kill a baby.
That
is where we’re headed as the government continues to
drive people insane on purpose with this apocalyptic
Simon Says game that is the coronavirus hoax.
A New Jersey mom who
admitted to killing
her 5-month old daughter told police
she did it in order to “fulfill the last of her
sins, murder,” according to court documents.
Kristhie Alcazar,
26, made her first court appearance on Monday
after she was charged with murder for stabbing
her baby to death at a home in Penns Grove on
Friday night. She faces a maximum sentence of
life in prison if convicted.
A
remorseless Alcazar reportedly told police
“she would not change any of the events
surrounding the murder,” according to an
affidavit, obtained
by ABC 6.
She also said she
was of “sound mind and body” at the time.
According to the
Salem County Prosecutor’s Office, police
responded to a call with loud disturbances in
the background Friday night.
When police arrived
they found Alcazar arguing with another person
as well as the body of the dead baby.
The infant had
visible stab wounds to her chest, officials
said. Multiple knives and evidence were
recovered from the scene. The baby’s father was
not home at the time of the homicide.
The infant’s cause
of death was determined to be a homicide as a
result of multiple stab wounds to the chest
area.
She is due back in
court again on Thursday.
A memorial has grown
out front of the apartment building, ABC 6
reported.
“It’s a
tragedy,” neighbor Wandy Burgos told the
outlet. “She was a nice, nice lady.”
Yeah, I believe she
was a nice lady.
Then all of a
sudden she snapped and decided to stab her baby to
death.
Single mother, of
course – something which is also the fault of our
Hebrew occupation government.
The
masks, the vax, the endless vax regime, the
lockdowns, the unbelievable fear of a fake virus
and a brutal government, the fact of no
conceivable finality to this endless void of
progressively mutating nonsense and gibberish –
all of this has collapsed the fabric of the social
order. The media won’t print “this bitch killed
her infant because all of this virus mania drove
her insane.” (read

[Lesbian] Justice Sotomayor
‘paraded her scientific ignorance’ in questioning
during oral arguments on Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health
Sonia Sotomayor,
[lesbian] Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, raised eyebrows and cast doubt on her
fitness for her elevated office during oral arguments
over the pending Mississippi abortion case, Dobbs v Jackson Women’s
Health.
“Will this
institution survive the stench that this creates
in the public perception – that the Constitution
and its reading are just political acts?”
Sotomayor asked. “I don’t see how it is possible.”
And her casual rejection of the Constitution as
the arbiter of Supreme Court decision-making:
Justice
Sonia Sotomayor even said at one point that the
Supreme Court comes up with decisions all the
time that aren’t directly grounded in the
Constitution. This is a line of argument
that, if taken seriously, would justify the
Supreme Court swinging free of all restraint and
rewriting the nation’s laws on the fly.
Is it in the end
all just words? Thoughts on how we
get out of this. We must break out of
the awful hygiene prison our societies have
become. The problem, is how. I can’t figure out
a way through the towering concrete grey
uninteresting stupidity of the bureaucrats. I
can’t see how to change their direction or fix
their vileness. And I will tell you another
thing: While I am astounded by and immensely
grateful for the response I have had here, by
the many readers I have gained, by your interest
in my ideas, and even by the volume of people
who regard my views with hostility—in my own
head, I have a very small hammer, and I am
assaulting a massive stone fortress. I know a
lot of other people are doing the same thing,
but it can be hard to see them sometimes. This
is a post on how we might get out of this, and
the first point is simple: However dark things
look right now, we will get out of this. That
is non-negotiable. You should never do
their work for them by despairing of an end. It is supposed to seem hopeless.
They manage the seeming of things, much more
than the reality of them, and they work very
hard to portray all resistance as futile.
Probably more messaging
resources go into casting the containment
regime as invulnerable and undeterred, than
anything else. This is important to them
precisely because they’re not invulnerable.
A
major aspect of this invulnerability propaganda,
helped by containment itself, amounts to an
enforced system of preference falsification.
They want to compel or strongly encourage people to
misrepresent their own desires and opinions all of
the time. Masks are an excellent tactic here. Not
only do they represent an effort to make the virus
visible and omnipresent; they are also easily
interpreted as a sign of belief in containment
policies. If the medically
indefensible and ridiculous community masking went
away, we would be halfway to achieving our goals
already. Social isolation and saturation
press coverage are other important mechanisms for
obscuring the true nature of public opinion and
making you feel alone in your beliefs. Former
Soviet-bloc countries also demanded that their
citizens falsify their preferences, and we know from
their experience that the project is a costly one,
and the equilibrium it achieves is highly unstable
and liable to unexpected shifts or even sudden
collapse.
Dissent,
therefore—even of the kind I engage in here—has a
purpose. It is not just words, and it is
not mere preaching to the choir. We
have to sow doubt among true believers and
ridicule the official line at every opportunity,
but we also have to create a broader cultural space
that is more interesting and more dynamic and more
explanatory than their flat, boring world of
interconnected largely false doctrines preserved in
amber. Here the advantage lies wholly with us: The
pervasive propaganda means many true believers on
our side are intimidated into silence, while many
false cynical followers on their side must always be
goaded into miming sincerity. We
want their true believers to be intellectually
isolated, left on an island of absurd beliefs all
by themselves. The more
they seem out-of-touch, bizarre, and uncool, the
more we are succeeding in this project.
Here we have had substantial success already: Have a look at containment Twitter and
see for yourself. It is nothing but a collection
of the most unappealing, ridiculous, embarrassing
people you could ever imagine. You would never want to be seen in
public with any of them. They are a mess. We must
have more of this.
Many object that
our arguments are simply ignored or papered over by
regime propaganda, and that nothing we say here gets
anywhere. It is also common to hear about the
futility of protests, and I have been known on
occasion to express pessimism about the
possibilities of legal challenges. This is the wrong
view to take. They have to win
every day, and we only have to win a few times. This is the great asymmetry at the heart
of all dissident movements, it is why we seem
small and powerless and yet they act with such
inordinate rage and fear against the points we
make.
Once
they acknowledge more than handful of our
arguments, once high courts uphold more than a few
challenges, once a protest somewhere causes a
country to back down on vaccine mandates, it is
over for them. But it is a long way from
here to there, and we can’t expect to get there
immediately. Right now, we hope
above all to increase the costs of containment and
universal vaccination policies as much as
possible. We want governments to pour more efforts
into dumb fact checking, into awkward propaganda,
and into enforcement. All
of this has to be as expensive as we can make it.
Most of our governments have already fully committed
their resources. Effort spent on
propping up lies is effort that the regime cannot
spend on something more lucrative and interesting
to them.
So that is what we
can do. But the truth is that there
are natural forces working also on our side, every
minute. We aren’t alone in this, all of nature is
bent against them.
To
begin with, what is happening now is a
self-imposed crisis. It a moment of transitional
hysteria. I don’t know what things will
look like on the other side, but periodic
unannounced seasonal closures and forced mass
vaccinations have never been part of the natural
order of human society anywhere. This
will end. This winter, it has been harder for the
press to work up the hysteria they achieved last
winter, and last winter they had to work
harder to drive the hysteria than they did during
the first infections of March and April. Next year, if they want to do this
again, it will get harder for them still. One of the reasons the press love
variants so much, is that they’re desperate for
novelty. Corona more and more threatens to become
uninteresting.
Here we encounter a
simple truth of human psychology, that high levels of religious or ideological
fervour cannot be maintained. These things wax and wane. The more
intensely the initial mania is felt, the more
likely it is to burn out before too long.
The bureaucrats have been seized by the allures of
containment ideology, and this has caused them to
behave in very extreme ways. Sooner or later,
however, their excitement will peak and begin to
decline. They won’t abandon their beliefs, but after
a time these beliefs will cease to be the most
important thing to them. Corona
will begin to compete with other priorities.
Here Wokeness is an important
comparison. A lot of Anglosphere faculty
had long since signed on to the tenets of
antiracism, before Wokeness ever took off as a
cultural phenomenon. They balanced their concerns
for equity with other matters, until Floyd’s
[fentanyl overdose] death and cynical press
agitation set off a parareligious revival. They
entered a period of intense manic excitement, and
they are now coming down from that. The same thing
will happen with containment. Already interest in
lockdowns has steeply declined, compared to Spring
or even Fall 2020. The same thing will happen to the
vaccines, I promise. We just have to hold on.
Remember
always that it is an enormous help to us, that
none of this nonsense actually works. It is a complete joke, everything that
they do. This makes containment, especially
at the political level, a very awkward constellation
of policies. As I’ve said before, containment
hardliners can win temporary support for harsh
closures, but these alienate reasonable people and
they also fail to do anything about infections, at
which point hardline politicians find themselves in
a self-isolating political death spiral. The CDU,
Angela Merkel’s centre-right pro-containment party,
was badly hurt precisely by this dynamic, and the
new coalition government has moved very slowly
indeed to take up the same disastrous policies,
because they know where they lead.
A
final reason to hope that this will end soon, is
more powerful but also less positive. For reasons I don’t fully understand,
the bureaucracies which rule us have grown vastly
more volatile and erratic over the past decade.
This is probably down to informal changes that
occurred after populist backlashes like Trump’s
election and Brexit. These encouraged tighter
alliances among different bureaucratic factions in
the press, the government and academia. Before 2010,
these different sectors functioned like
semi-detached silos, and it was genuinely difficult
for a single mania to sweep the whole system at
once. I remember an exasperated university
administrator in 2009, rolling her eyes at attempts
by the WHO to foment panic over the Swine flu.
Imagine a conversation like that unfolding in our
world, where all the public health recommendations
are absolute gospel at every institution of higher
learning.
This tendency
towards erratic, unstable policy choices has an
obvious downside, and we are living through it. But
it also means that they are at any moment likely to
be seized by a new mania, and abandon the pandemic
hell they have created to its own devices. Containment fanaticism has done a good
job of seeding all manner of incipient crises, any
one of which might set off a new bureaucratic
stampede. If you doubt this possibility,
consider America, where mass containment never
really recovered from the BLM protests in summer
2020. The United States is far from
over this mess, but there is even political space
there for some states, like Florida and Texas, to
opt out of the circus entirely. This is
unthinkable for continental Europe right now.
Here at the bottom
of this overlong piece, two concluding points:
1)
Look at what gets banned and censored. This is
what they are especially sensitive about, it is
where they feel the most vulnerable. Vaccine
side effects are the locus of their greatest
anxiety; it is here also that they blatantly
withhold data and even lie the most. Note the great
contrast with lockdowns and masks, which hardly
anybody has ever been banned for criticising. This
is a place to push, even though I’m not totally sure
how right now.
2)
Some words for those who [correctly] insist that
containment policies are centrally planned and
directed by a global cabal: Not only [do I
want to believe] this [is] wrong, but it risks
blinding you to the broader, very human processes at
work here, to their failures, and to the openings
these failures provide. In my experience, these
views also discourage among their adherents rigorous
engagement with the facts of the virus (which almost
always work in our favour), and in extreme forms
they can be a thin disguise for resignation to the
reigning political order, which is why I write
against them now and then. But I also think that
argument and dispute is generative more often than
not, so I’m happy to disagree even harshly. I want
above all to avoid a uniformity of discussion, of
the kind they’ve created. (read

THE COVID-CON IX
(The spike protein mRNA gene therapy clot shots
were made BEFORE the pandemic of lies was started.
The clot shots were developed to kill or sicked,
not cure.)
The
god that failed How to open the
eyes of anyone who still thinks Covid vaccines
are working as promised Let’s say you wind
up talking about the vaccine. (I know, what are
the odds?) And let’s say the
folks you’re talking to are not crazy vaccine
fanatics who think the only problem with
Australia’s interment camps is that they don’t
go far enough. They’re reasonable people. Maybe
they’ve even been vaccinated and are not sure
about boosters, or what to do about their kids. They’ve heard nearly
all Covid deaths in Britain are in vaccinated
people. But they’ve also heard about the Centers
for Disease Control report that the unvaccinated
are at much higher risk. They’ve heard about the
new variant too, of course. So many [fake and
manipulated] numbers. So much science! And
despite the last 20 months, they still believe
the public health authorities wouldn’t
exaggerate the threat of Covid or manipulate
data to scare them. They are
legitimately confused. And you have about five
minutes before halftime is over to help them
understand the truth. What do you do? First, don’t talk
about all-cause mortality. We don’t know yet
what’s driving that (though I have some
upsetting charts to drop soon), and it’s just
too weird and scary for most people to consider. Second, don’t
overwhelm them with detail. Marek’s disease,
antibody-dependent-enhancement risk, healthy
vaccine user bias, age stratification, clinical
trial design manipulation, unadjusted
confounders, declining titers, B-cell
maturation, booster schedules, anti-idiotype
antibodies, spike protein migration, vaccine
induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia - don’t go
there. Even trying to
explain that the CDC changed the definition of a
vaccine - and yes, the CDC sure did change the
definition of a vaccine - may be tough.
Now the United
States and especially Europe have vaccinated vast
numbers of their citizens with mRNA and DNA vaccines
that appeared hugely effective in [sham] clinical
trials. In many European countries, over 90 percent
of all adults are vaccinated.
Yet not only has
Covid not disappeared, many of those same countries,
like Denmark, are now seeing record levels of
infections.
If
the vaccines work, what’s going on?
And
if they don’t, why on earth would anyone not at
very high risk from Covid agree to participate in
further rounds of this failed experiment? Much
less allow their kids to be vaccinated?

question. One that leads to a hundred more. (read

IT'S TIME WE SENT
BILL TO ANTARCTICA.
EXILE HIM TO AN ABANDONED
RESEARCH STATION
WITH A VIEW OF MT. EREBUS.
Let him think he is safe there.
“We didn’t have
vaccines that block transmission. We got vaccines
that help you with your health, but they only
slightly reduce the transmission. We need new ways
of doing vaccines.” — Bill
Gates
It’s time to put Covid
behind us England’s ‘dangerous
and unethical experiment’ of lifting all
restrictions has been a resounding success. A year ago this week,
Pfizer announced the results of its Covid vaccine
trials. Two weeks later, AstraZeneca announced the
results of the phase-three trials for its own
candidate vaccine. Both were impressive. By 8
December, jabs were going into arms and the world
was breathing a sigh of relief. It took another
gruelling lockdown in Britain to suppress the coronavirus while the vaccines
were rolled out, but the end was in sight.
If we could have seen then where we are now, most
would have agreed that things have gone… pretty well,
actually. The so-called Delta variant caused this
year’s restrictions to last longer than we would have
liked, but fears about a new variant escaping the
vaccine turned out [not] to be unfounded. The vaccine
roll-out was a triumph and there was less public
hesitancy than expected.
We always knew
there would be an exit wave and we always knew
that the vaccines would not prevent every
hospitalisation and death. Those who were paying
attention understood that Covid had become an
endemic disease that most people would get in
their lifetime, perhaps more than once. We always
knew that the name of the game was to get the
risks down to the level of flu.
Mission
accomplished. In the six months between October
2020 and March 2021, there were 3.8million
recorded cases of Covid [using the highly flawed
PCR tests.] in the UK and 85,000 deaths. In the
following six months, during which restrictions
were reduced to nothing, there were 4.8million
recorded [fake] cases and 14,000 [alleged]
deaths. Based on these figures, the case
fatality rate fell from 2.2 per cent to 0.3 per
cent. Since around half of all infections are
not recorded, the infection fatality rate is
now around 0.15 per cent, not much different to
seasonal influenza. And remember that these
statistics include a large number of deaths
among the unvaccinated. For fully vaccinated
people, [who do not die immediately] the risk of
dying if you catch Covid is [supposedly] lower
still.
A glance at the
Covid mortality figures shows us that we are
more or less where we expected to be. After two
surges of the epidemic – in spring 2020 and
winter 2020-21 – we have reached endemicity. A
graph of hospital occupancy looks very similar.
The numbers go up a little, they go down a
little, but it is nothing a half-decent
healthcare system couldn’t handle. Covid will
remain a health issue for many years – possibly
forever – but it is no longer a civil-liberties
issue. Arguably, it should only be a minor news
story from now on.
So why the hell are so many people
still losing their minds over it? I don’t just mean the
Covid-denying ‘smiley’ contingent, who
adopted the Acid House logo as their emblem
last autumn. They went crazy a long time
ago. With the chances of another
lockdown dropping close to zero, these
erstwhile ‘lockdown sceptics’ went full
anti-vax and now scour the internet for sudden cardiac deaths of
athletes and the unexpected death of anybody
under the age of 60, whispering darkly about
the ‘clot shot’. I’ve written enough about
these lost souls, but they are not
the only fanatics entrenched in an extreme
position.
Their
opposite number, the Zero Covidians – or
‘frownies’ – have shown no contrition for
being wrong on an epic scale since they
described England’s ‘Freedom Day’ as a ‘dangerous and unethical
experiment’ in July. The
prospect of 100,000 cases a day was, in their
view, nailed on and there was a real
possibility of this rising to 200,000.
Independent SAGE called on the government to
revert to step two of the roadmap in which
socialising indoors with anyone from outside
your household was banned.
In the event,
the number of cases per day peaked at just
over 50,000 shortly before all restrictions
were lifted. By the end of July they had
fallen by half. Over the next two months rates
rose and dipped in the manner of an endemic
virus. Both smileys and frownies looked at the
data, noted that things looked worse than they
did at the same time last summer, when Covid
rates were very low, and warned that winter
was coming.
All it took
was a mini-surge in October for tension to
turn into hysteria again. On 20 October, NHS
Confederation chief executive Matthew Taylor –
who had warned in July that ‘dropping
the requirements to wear masks and to socially
distance… could lead to further mutations of
the virus’ – called for measures, such as
working from home and a mask mandate, to be
reintroduced. He did this in a press release that began with
the veiled threat that ‘[n]o one wants another
national lockdown…’. Independent SAGE, the
British Medical Association, various trade
unions and every social-media user with
#ToryGenocide, #JohnsonVariant or #FBPE in
their profile joined the call for restrictions
to be re-imposed. Britain was a rainy plague
island, they said. The least we could do was
take our lead from enlightened Europe where the virus
was under control thanks to face masks and
vaccine passports, they said.
No sooner had
Labour leader Keir Starmer put his weight
behind this campaign than it began to crumble.
The infection rate peaked on 18 October before
dropping back to levels last seen in August.
As Eastern Europe suffered its worst outbreak
yet, the calls to be more European became
calls to be more like Western Europe and then
to be more like the largest countries in
Western Europe. With cases now on the turn in
France and shooting up in Germany, Europe will
soon be forgotten altogether. Britain
currently has a lower reproduction (R) rate
than any EU member state (except Romania). It
is one of only five countries between Russia
and Iceland where rates have been falling.
Needing a
coping mechanism when the infection rate falls
by a third is not healthy behaviour,
psychologically speaking. But when cases began
tumbling last month there was a tangible sense
of disappointment from the #BorisTheButcher
community. They insisted that it was nothing
more than a temporary blip caused by the
half-term school holidays – this despite the
drop starting at least a week before the vast
majority of schools broke up and despite that
half-terms have never had such an impact on
overall case numbers in the past. ‘Give it two
weeks’, they said, as they so often do. When
cases were still falling in November, they
started a weird argument about when half-term
was, as if the national infection rate hinged
on a few private schools, the Isle of Wight
and some factory towns in Leicestershire.
Much of the media dealt with the
upturn in Britain’s fortunes in a much simpler
way. They ignored it. In more than a few
instances, they explicitly claimed that cases
were still rising. Interviewing Boris Johnson
on 2 November, two weeks after cases peaked,
CNN’s lead anchor, Christiane Amanpour, asserted that ‘there’s a
big spike in Covid in this country and the
record here is worse than it is elsewhere in
Europe’. The following day, deputy chief
medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam was asked in
a BBC interview: ‘Why are schools
not putting masks in place, with cases rising
in school-age children?’ And Sky News tweeted: ‘With the UK’s
coronavirus epidemic escalating by the day,
it’s no longer a case of if Plan B will be
triggered but when, say experts.’
Everyone knows the media prefer bad
news to good news, but there was something
almost pathological about this refusal to
look the facts in the face. Could it be
sheer ignorance?
On 9
November, the Evening Standard reported: ‘UK
Covid deaths soar to 262.’ And the Sun ran the headline:
‘UK daily Covid deaths hit 262 in highest rise
in a WEEK.’ It was a Tuesday. Anyone with even
a passing interest in the statistics knows
that the NHS always reports fewer deaths over
the weekend and then catches up with the
backlog on Tuesday. It is therefore almost
inevitable that the ‘highest rise in a week’
will be seen on a Tuesday and that the figure
will appear to ‘soar’ if you compare it to a
Monday (which is what the Evening
Standard did). When
compared to the previous Tuesday, however, the
number of deaths had actually fallen.
Whether the
result of mendacity or stupidity, the media’s
eagerness to maintain a state of panic was
almost enough to make you believe in
conspiracy theories. For those who already
believed in conspiracy theories, it was all
the confirmation they needed.
Senior
officials in the health service made matters
worse by making outlandish claims which veered
into anti-vax territory. The Health Service Journal quoted ‘one of the
most respected chief executives in the NHS’
saying: ‘This is far worse than January – the
vaccine hasn’t saved us this time.’ On the same
day, the chief executive of NHS England, Amanda
Pritchard, beclowned herself by telling the preposterous lie that we ‘have had
14 times the number of people in hospital with
Covid-19 than we saw this time last year’. When
it was pointed out that there are actually 30
per cent fewer people in hospital
with Covid than this time last year, she
‘clarified’ that she was comparing August 2021
to August 2020 and added the frankly
unbelievable claim that she didn’t have more
recent figures.
Pritchard told
the original fib while calling on the public to
get their booster shots. Perhaps she thought
that by massaging the figures she could
turbo-charge national paranoia and put a rocket
under the vaccination campaign. If so, she may
have been mistaken. Her words were nectar to the
smiley-faced ‘sceptics’ since they appeared to
prove that the vaccines were not only useless

Genital necrosis with
cutaneous thrombosis after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination
Thrombosis is a [not
so] rare complication of COVID-19 vaccines that
typically affects cerebral and visceral vessels.
However, skin involvement is largely unknown. Here, we
describe a case of genital necrosis associated with
cutaneous thrombosis following COVID-19 vaccination.
An 84-year-old
Japanese woman presented to our department with a
three-day history of genital necrosis. She had
received her first dose of Pfizer–BioNTech BNT162b2
mRNA COVID-19 vaccine 26 days before admission. Nine
days after the vaccination, she developed increasing
pain in her genital region. She denied any trauma or
precipitating event. Her medical history was
significant for deep vein thrombosis after orthopedic
surgery, for which she had been receiving edoxaban
over the past three years. She had no other risk
factors for thrombosis.
On admission, she was well but febrile to 37.5°C.
Dermatological examination revealed extensive necrosis
with surrounding purpura that involved the mons pubis,
labia majora, and perineum (Fig. 1a). Laboratory
investigations showed a leukocytosis (15.9 × 109/L)
with a left shift. The platelet count was slightly
elevated (359 × 109/L). The coagulation profile
was unremarkable. Biochemical parameters were within
the normal range except for an elevated C-reactive
protein (11.6 mg/dL, normal <0.3
mg/dL). A thrombophilia screen—including
antithrombin, protein C, protein S, lupus
anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin antibodies,
anti-β-2-glycoprotein-1 antibodies—was unremarkable.
Serological tests for rheumatoid factor, anti-nuclear
antibody, and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
were all negative. Pelvic CT was performed to
show subcutaneous fat stranding without fascial
thickening. No hemorrhage or hematoma was noted.
CT angiography detected no evidence of thrombosis.
Skin biopsy showed epidermal necrosis, scattered
neutrophils and lymphocytes in the dermis, and
thrombotic occlusion of dermal vessels with mild
perivascular infiltration (Fig. 1b,c).
Immunohistochemistry revealed that the thrombi were
positive for CD61, a platelet-specific marker (Fig.
1d,e). Based on the clinical and histopathological
findings, a diagnosis of cutaneous necrosis with
platelet thrombi formation and secondary infection was
made. Treatment was started with ampicillin/sulbactam
along with local wound care. Her fever, leukocytosis,
and genital pain resolved within the first week.
The skin lesions also improved: more than 80% of the
eschar had fallen off when she was discharged after
one month of admission (Fig. 2a), and epithelization
was almost completed another month later (Fig. 2b).
A small but increasing number of thrombotic events
have been reported since the launch of mass
vaccination campaigns against COVID-19.
Adenovirus vector-based vaccines (AstraZeneca
and Johnson & Johnson) are associated wit severe
thrombosis with thrombocytopenia, while mRNA-based
vaccines (Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna) are also
associated with some thrombotic events, which do
not always accompany thrombocytopenia. The exact
pathogenesis remains unknown, but platelet activation
is thought to be a key feature underlying these
events. For both types of vaccines, thrombosis
typically occurs in unusual locations such as cerebral
and portal veins. However, only two cases of skin
involvement have been reported, both of which
manifested as local skin necrosis at injection sites.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case
of extensive skin necrosis after COVID-19 vaccination
that developed outside the injection site.
Although the mechanism of platelet thrombi formation
in genital skin is unclear, the short time interval
between the vaccination and the onset of symptoms may
indicate a causal relationship. Therefore, our case
extends the range of cutaneous manifestations
associated with thrombosis after COVID-19 vaccination.
In addition, it should be noted that
she developed thrombosis despite receiving edoxaban,
which highlights the need to consider the
possibility of thrombosis even in patients under
anticoagulant therapy. Although rare skin
necrosis should be recognized as a possible
manifestation of thrombosis associated with COVID-19
vaccination. (read

Democrat Hill Staffers Are So
Over Nancy Pelosi
Democrat congressional staffers want Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi replaced regardless of the outcome
of the 2022 midterms, a new survey from Punchbowl
News indicates.
According to the
survey of Capitol Hill staffers, 62 percent of
Democrat aides claimed they wanted Pelosi and Senate
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer replaced whether or
not the party makes gains in the House or Senate or
not. Seventeen percent of Democrat staffers said
Pelosi and Schumer should only be replaced “if
Democrats underperform” while 20 percent testified
they were content with keeping leadership the same.
From the @punchbowlnews Hill staff survey:
two-thirds (62%) of Democratic staff say their
leadership should be replaced regardless of 2022
outcome pic.twitter.com/JSfqWMtnVE
While the 81-year-old Pelosi has maintained a grip
on the House for years, there is
clear discontent in her party,
especially among progressives. Combine that
discontent with the Democrat-controlled Congress’s
failure to pass bills key to a blue victory in 2022
and the frustration that came with a massive loss
for Democrats in Virginia and you have a recipe for
a
possible leadership change, which has been
discussed before.
The report follows
apparent discontent in the White House as well,
coming the same week that a key member of Vice
President Kamala Harris’s staff, senior adviser and
chief spokeswoman Symone Sanders, is set
to depart the White House before the end of the
year following the Democrat’s terrible poll numbers.
“I’m so grateful to
the VP for her vote of confidence from the very
beginning and the opportunity to see what can be
unburdened by what has been. I’m grateful for
[Harris chief of staff] Tina [Flournoy] and her
leadership and her confidence as well. Every day, I
arrived to the White House complex knowing our work
made a tangible difference for Americans. I am
immensely grateful and will miss working for her and
with all of you,” Sanders wrote in a note to her
colleagues.
The vice
president’s communications director Ashley Etienne
also resigned from her role a few weeks prior citing
“other opportunities.” Her departure followed a
series of reports from several corporate media
outlets detailing internal conflict and friction
between staffers and Harris in the vice president’s
office.
Politico reported in June that
Harris’s team often experienced a “tense and at
times douroffice atmosphere” as
staffers were forced to deal with the fallout caused
by the vice president’s refusal to visit the U.S.
southern border and infamous laughing on camera when
asked why.

Democrats’ War On Language Is
Engulfing Term ‘Illegal Alien’ The left is engaged in a
language war. That's because changing language
changes people's minds
The Associated
Press ran an emotional plug for
efforts to nix the term “alien” to describe an
illegal entrant to the United States last week. It’s
no secret what the opinion of the AP is, after the
corporate outlet updated its stylebook in 2013
to remove not just “illegal alien” but even “illegal
immigrant.”
But journalists and
lawmakers alike would be prudent to brush up on
their history. After all, “alien” is a reasonable
and just term deeply baked into the founding of this
country — contrary to the talking points of
demagogues from Justice
Sonia Sotomayor to the Biden
administration.
Under a Biden order last April, U.S.
immigration enforcement agencies were instructed to
no longer use “alien” or “illegal alien” or
“assimilation” in reference to immigrants. Alien was
adjusted to “noncitizen or migrant,” illegal to
“undocumented,” and assimilation to “integration.”
“As the nation’s
premier law enforcement agency, we set a tone and
example for our country and partners across the
world,” Troy Miller, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection’s acting commissioner, wrote in a memo at the time.
“We enforce our nation’s laws while also maintaining
the dignity of every individual with whom we
interact. The words we use matter and will serve to
further confer that dignity to those in our
custody.”
California removed the term “alien” from
its labor and education codes in 2015 and 2016, and
New York City amended its charter and
administrative code to ban the word in 2020. And a
Colorado law signed in 2015 scrubbed “illegal alien” from
government contracts in favor of the term “worker
without authorization.”
Democrats are not
letting up on the terminology fight. It’s a language
battle. Lora Ries, a senior research fellow in
homeland security at The Heritage Foundation, told
me the left is pushing the linguistic change to
erase the line between legal and illegal
immigration.
“Under federal law,
any individual in this country who is not a citizen
is an alien,” Ries said. “And any alien who is here
without permission is here illegally. If we are
going to discuss and debate the issue of immigration
and what our public policy should be, we should at
least use accurate, precise terms.”
The linguistic
initiative is fueled by the erroneous notion that
there ought to be open borders. This much was
signaled by Democrat state Sen. Julie Gonzalez in
Colorado, the co-sponsor of the state’s new law.
“That language has been offensive for many people,”
she told the AP. “And some of
the rationale behind that is really rooted in this
idea that a person can certainly commit an illegal
act, but no human being themselves is illegal.”
While California
and Colorado are currently the only two states that
have adjusted state statutes to fit the politically
correct lingo, at least seven states this year have
seen lawmakers try to squeeze through the terms
“undocumented” and “noncitizen” into law. But
“alien” is a term with a rich history in the U.S.
There is nothing racist, xenophobic, or nativist
about it.
William
Blackstone’s description of the term “alien” in his
1770 “Commentaries on the Laws of England,” in which
he described an alien as someone
born outside the “dominions” of the king, set the
bar for America’s usage of the term. Blackstone made
a clear distinction between “natural-born” citizens
and those from a foreign land — who he did not
determine ought to maintain the same legal rights.
Twenty years after
Blackstone’s work, President George Washington would
approve the first
Naturalization Act and instill the word “alien” into
the American statutory lexicon. In 1798, President
John Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Acts. The
acts granted the president the power to expel
“aliens” thought to be “dangerous to the peace and
safety of the United States” or who may be engaged
in “any treasonable or secret machinations against
the government.”
“And in case any
alien, so ordered to depart, shall be found at large
within the United States after the time limited in
such order for his departure. . . every such alien
shall, on conviction thereof, be imprisoned for a
term not exceeding three years, and shall never
after be admitted to become a citizen of the United
States,” section I of the acts state.
Fast forward and
“alien” has been deployed on a federal and state
level to identify those who are living in the United
States without permission. Its definition from Merriam-Webster is
“a foreign-born resident who has not been
naturalized and is still a subject or citizen of a
foreign country.”
“Proponents [of
changing terms] want to persuade the American public
that those here illegally are no different than
those who followed the rules to come here lawfully,”
Ries also said. “But America, like every other
country, has a sovereign right to a lawful and
orderly immigration system. And Americans, including
lawful immigrants, want immigration laws enforced.”
As we have
witnessed, the left is engaged in a battle to alter
meaning. But it’s vital to look at the broader
trend. There is a language war in general, and
immigration is just the tip of the iceberg. Whether
it be the pertinent word “riot,” terms about sex,
“black,” or the phrase “pro-life,” transforming
words
remains a foremost concern of elite institutions
captured by the left. Look no further than the attempts
to conceal critical race theory, too.
Meanwhile, the
Biden administration has fiddled while a record
number of illegal aliens come into the U.S. There
were 164,303 encounters at the Southern border
in October alone, more than double last October’s
71,929 apprehensions. And the surge continues.
Not only is it
pointless to denigrate reasonable norms through
language reconstruction, but it is harmful. Using
“illegal alien” when America faces a significant
border surge is the moral thing to do. It’s long
past time to stop pretending otherwise. (read

Joe Biden Abolishes 90 Percent
of ICE’s Deportations
President Joe Biden
has slashed the deportation of illegal migrants from
25 cities by roughly 90 percent, so helping business
groups with a flood of desperate, low-wage workers.
Biden’s business
giveaway was
revealed by the Center for Immigration Studies,
which also showed that Biden’s deputies have reduced
by two-thirds the deportation of criminal migrants who
threaten Americans and the nation’s growing population
of illegal migrants.
Only 18,713 illegals
were formally “removed” — deported — from 25
interior cities, such as Atlanta, Baltimore, and
Miami, from January to July in 2021, according to the
data from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) agency. The 2021 removal number includes only
6,000 migrants convicted of serious crimes, such as
MS-13 migrants.
In 2019, under Trump,
186,019 migrants were removed from the 25 cities,
including 17,553 migrants convicted of serious crimes.
Amid the Trump enforcement, employers were forced
to raise wages, especially for lower-income
Americans.
In 2020, despite the
coronavirus crash, Trump’s deputies removed 93,247
migrants from the cities, including 13,120 migrants
convicted of serious crimes. In 2021, the
25-cities’ deportation rate has dropped to roughly
3,000 per month since the Senate’s confirmation of
Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s appointee to run the
Department of Homeland Security.
In calendar year 2021,
Mayorkas is on track to deport just 40,000 migrants
from the 25 cities. Mayorkas’s annual deportations
amount to one of every 275 illegal migrants living in
the United States.
In 2019, before the
coronavirus crash, Trump’s deputies removed 267,000
illegal migrants nationwide, including many who
committed violent crimes in the United States.
Mayorkas’s likely
deportation of 40,000 migrants in all of 2021 from
the 25 cities is less than just one month of
arriving “got-aways” — illegal migrants who
are detected yet successfully evade the border
patrol. So far, roughly 400,000 job-seeking migrants
have sneaked across the border under Mayorkas’ lax
rules.
The Biden ICE data
does not include migrants who were turned back from
the border — and sometimes deported to their
homelands — under the Title 42 anti-epidemic rules.
Mayorkas is a Cuban
immigrant and a pro-migration zealot. In a November
Senate hearing, for example, Sen. Tom Cotton
(R-AR) asked him: “What should be a higher priority
of the United States Government? Securing our border
or giving amnesty to illegal aliens who are already
here?”
“Justice is our
priority,” Mayorkas responded, adding “That includes
securing our border and providing relief to those
[migrants] who qualify for it under our laws.”
No Democrats voted
against Mayorkas’ confirmation in February. His
confirmation was also backed by several GOP
senators, including Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt
Romney (R-UT), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Shelley
Moore Capito (R-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), and
retiring Senator Rob Portman (R-OH).
Mayorkas’ policies
reflect the U.S. government’s post-1990 policy of
extracting migrants from other countries to work,
rent, and spend in the United States. This economic
policy pulls migrants from other countries via
several channels — legal migration, visa workers,
and illegal migration — so flatlining wages for
employees, but spiking real estate values and the
stock market for investors.
Mayorkas DHS
refused to release some data that was formerly made
public, according to CIS:
ICE has so far
refused to provide information on whether the
removed alien was arrested at the border or in
the interior. Therefore, these statistics should
be interpreted with caution because it is not
clear to what extent they may reflect the level
of enforcement at the border as well as in the
interior. Nevertheless, it is possible to see in
these records just how dramatically the new
Biden policies have reduced ICE enforcement
activity.
Mayorkas and his
allies say they are using taxpayer funds to focus on
the “worst of the worst.”
“ICE officers are
not actually doing more effective enforcement, but
are simply doing less enforcement” because of
imposed bureaucratic barriers, CIS wrote:
According to ICE
sources, because of the cumbersome process, and
also because of sanctuary policies in some large
jurisdictions, most ICE arrests are now handled
by fugitive operations teams rather than by ICE
officers working in jails, as had been the norm
before the Biden policies were implemented.
Routine arrests, once approved, now require a
team of several officers who work for days to
prepare a plan and execute each arrest, which
now must take place in the community in an area
not designated a “sensitive” location.
One ICE staff member
told me that the process is extremely
inefficient: “Instead of having one person
working in a jail who can arrest four or five
criminal aliens in a shift, now we have to send
five or six guys out to make one or maybe two
arrests in a shift.”
In addition to
requiring what is essentially pointless busywork
to seek an extra layer of approval for each
arrest, agency leadership has also reduced
interior enforcement by downsizing the number of
working officers. This has been accomplished in
many ways, including sending officers to work at
the border and even by paying officers not to
work. For example, ICE personnel recently were
given extra “administrative leave” days off for
Veteran’s Day and the Friday after Thanksgiving,
which are not typically federal holidays.
Pending the arrival
of new leadership in the agency, states should use
their powers to ease deportations, Vaughan wrote:
With less
immigration enforcement, American communities
will continue to be saddled with the costs
associated with illegal immigration, including
displacement of U.S. workers, wage depression,
more spending on social services and education,
and additional crime problems. While Congress
theoretically could intervene to impose stricter
enforcement mandates and spending requirements,
in the meantime state and local governments
should act to discourage illegal settlement,
penalize illegal employment, maintain strict
eligibility requirements for all public benefits
and driver’s licenses, and ensure that state and
local law enforcement agencies are cooperating
fully with ICE to identify criminal aliens.
Exclusive — Blagojevich: ‘The
Democrat Political Establishment Very Fearful of
What I Know and What I Can Say’
Ex-Democrat Illinois
governor turned “Trumpocrat” Rod Blagojevich said he
believes current Gov. J.B. Pritzker tried to keep him
in jail because the Democrat establishment is “afraid
of what he knows” and “what [he] will say soon.”
In a video obtained
exclusively by Breitbart News, Blagojevich, who was
Illinois governor from 2003 to 2009, can be heard
talking about his relationship with the current
governor, some of the events leading up to his time in
federal prison, and his standing with the party he
left behind.
Blagojevich, who
Chicago Magazinecharacterized
as “real-life cartoon character, popular culture’s
best example of a bombastic, narcissistic, devious
politician since the fictional Senator Claghorn,”
served 7.5 years of a 14-year sentence in a
Colorado federal prison after being impeached and
accused of trying to sell former President Barack
Obama’s vacated Senate seat while he was governor,
among other charges.
“He charmed everyone but
the General Assembly that impeached him and the
jury that convicted him at his federal trial,” Chicago
Magazine reported.
The main charges
surrounding the accusation were eventually vacated
by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals,
though his sentence remained notably lengthy, and
his request for Supreme Court review of his case
was rejected twice. Former President Trump
was his final hope, and in a highly controversial
move, Trump commuted
his sentence. Blagojevich went home on
February 18, 2020 to his wife and children, and
his supervised release officially ended in June
2021.
Blagojevich, whose
story has regained public interest partly because of
the release of Hulu’s new four-part miniseries Being Blago, was the speaker at the
Arts and Ideas Exchange Speakers Series on Wednesday
night at the Railway Exchange Building in Chicago,
Illinois, the city where he grew up. In front of a
room full of seated, attentive dinner guests in a
hall laden with Christmas trees, red ribbons, and
wreaths, the ex-governor blasted Pritzker for
reportedly calling Trump “not once, but twice”
requesting to keep him behind bars.
“J.B. called Trump
not once, but twice, joining with most Republicans
to say, ‘Keep him in, don’t let him out. Keep him
in, don’t let him out,'” he told the attendees, his
voice echoing and his hands moving excitedly as he
recounted the story.
“….Why did he do it? ” he
continued, before foreshadowing his willingness to
expose the underbelly of his former party:
I truly believe its
because J.B. Pritzker, Governor Pritzker and
some of the Democratic political establishment
is very fearful. They’re very fearful of what
I know, and what I can say, and what I’m
likely to say, and what I will say soon.
That’s why I think that he did that.
Blagojevich also quipped
that if anyone would try to sell a Senate seat, it
would be Pritzker, who allegedly called the former
governor asking to be considered for the seat at
the time.
Former Gov. @realBlagojevich tells audience in
Chicago that the idea that he would try and sell
Obama’s high profile Senate seat and get away
with it is preposterous. Said if he wanted to
sell the Senate seat, JB Pritzker is your guy. pic.twitter.com/298EAGNv2X

Billionaire Democrat
donor George Soros has bankrolled District Attorneys
in America's most crime ravaged cities, where
criminals are being allowed to walk out of jail on low
cash bonds or aren't even being charged.
Soros, the most
prolific Democratic donor, is most known for giving to
Presidents Clinton and Obama but he has also been
pumping money into a far-left effort to overhaul the
criminal justice system by giving millions to a
network of woke prosecutors in Democratic races.
Among them is Kim
Foxx, the State's Attorney for Cook County, Chicago,
where murder is at its highest in nearly 30 years.
In 2020, Soros donated
$2million to a PAC that backed Foxx in her re-election
campaign. She won the race and has since offered
deferred prosecutions and softball deals to criminals.
In 2021, there were
more murders in Chicago than in any other year since
1994.
There have been more
than 1,000 murders in Cook County, Foxx's district,
this year.
Soros bolstered her
re-election campaign by donating to the Illinois
Justice and Public Safety PAC.
The PAC spent over
$500,000 on materials to damage one of her
challengers. It's a pattern that can be seen in other
parts of the country.
He has also donated to
PACs that support Los Angeles District Attorney George
Gascón, who is being widely condemned for not cracking
down on shoplifters and violent criminals.
Soros has also donated
to the campaign of Philadelphia District Attorney
Larry Krasner.
He donated $1.7million
to Krasner's campaign, according to The New
York Post.
Soros also donated to
Super PACS that prop up Democratic prosecutors and
politicians across Republican states.
Republican pundits say
he has blood on his hands now for the deaths of
innocent people like those killed at the Waukesha
Christmas Parade by Darrell Brooks, a career criminal
who had been bonded out of jail days earlier for other
crimes.
In 2016, Soros pumped
$3million into seven local district-attorney campaigns
including races in Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico
and Texas. (read

As
Vice President, Kamala Harris did
little except to embarrass herself,
and that “bong” that
you hear is the gong. (You
remember that show with Chuck Barris?) (source)
Kamala Harris must be
uttering the rich lady's lament right about now: you
just can't get good staff anymore.
This time, a big
one has flown the coop, a veritable whale of a woman
in significance, spokeswoman Symone
Sanders. She's by far the highest-ranking
Kamala official now to get the heck out of
Dodge. Her exit follows a lot of other
exits, which I wrote about here. And
apparently, it's not going to be the last
one. These
guys (and
this other
one)
plan to leave next. The herd is moving.
So why would
Sanders do that? Two reasons stand
out.
One, working for
Kamala Harris is reportedly hell.
Back in June,
Politico wrote this sort of thing about being a
staffer at House Kamala, as described by the New
York Post:
"People are thrown
under the bus from the very top, there are short
fuses and it's an abusive environment," said the
same source who claimed staffers are "treated
like s---." "It's not a healthy environment and
people often feel mistreated."
Sanders defended
Kamala at the time, so it's not known if she was the
reason staff felt as though they were "treated like
s---" or she was just as badly treated by Kamala or
her henchwomen as the others. Maybe she
did the anonymous quote for Politico as well as
the on-the-record quote, talking out of both sides
of her mouth. But whatever the reason,
it's well known that working for Kamala has
always been a living hellscape. Now
that Kamala's polling favorability has fallen to
28%, she might be getting even meaner.
The other reason
that Sanders is likely leaving is that she's
written Kamala off as a lost cause, a sinking ship,
a date with a loser.
According to the
Washington Post in this glowing May 2021 profile,
people said this sort of thing about
her:
She is something of
a classic — and often derided — Washington
archetype: the consummate operator, able to
skate from one type of politician (a democratic
socialist) to another (an establishment
favorite) depending on whose coattails seem more
promising. She carries herself with a kind of
self-promotional swagger that can rub people the
wrong way. Not a lot of political staffers
publish memoirs at age 30; hers is peppered with
advice about getting ahead. "No one is going to
hand you power or open the door for you to voice
your opinion or your desires," she writes. "You
have to demand it."
...and this:
"I think she has
integrity," said Cornel West, a prominent Bernie
supporter who has heard complaints about "Sister
Symone" being a turncoat for eschewing Bernie
for Biden. "Still, I was surprised by her shift.
She spoke for Bernie with such heart and such
power." Ultimately, West said, "I think she just
wanted to go with a winner."
And some others
said similar. Those are just two quotes.
So if she's leaving
Kamala, it's not surprising. Sanders,
based on her biography, is 31, an ambitious young
political operative whose career has pretty well
been meteoric, and she has said in the past that she
might actually be interested in running for office
herself.
Why spend years on
a clearly sinking ship with a no-hoper
like Kamala who currently polls at 28% and
still doesn't know how to improve even her
image, let alone her job prowess?
For someone like
Sanders, being tied to Kamala may just be too much.
Sanders, on the
other hand, has been pretty impressive in a "bite
and claw her way to the top" sort of way.
She's the
daughter of a U.S. army officer who hails from
Nebraska, non-Ivy, having gone to Creighton
University and taken a gut major.
She's a former
community organizer, from what looks like a Soros-backed
group called
the "Coalition
for Juvenile Justice," one of whose
organizational "core principles" is to "divert youth
from the justice system," as well as "reduce
institutionalization" and "eliminate racial and
ethnic disparities," presumably in the sentencing of
gang-bangers, thugs, and criminals. She
ran the shop that gave "fellowships" to formerly
"justice-involved youth." I found no
evidence that she herself has a criminal record.
She worked for the
Bernie Sanders campaign, then the Democrats in
general, then as a commentator on
CNN. She gave TEDx Talks.
She famously
body-tackled a snowflake protester who rushed the
stage against Joe Biden (whom the Democrats got
together and slated to win, muscling out the other
candidates) on Super Tuesday, so we can tell she's a
party loyalist and an insider on the big
stuff. Of her linebacker-style block,
she proudly tweeted: "I

She's the author of
a book titled No, You Shut Up:
Speaking Truth to Power and Reclaiming America, whose blurb on Amazon
reads:
In this rousing call
to leadership, the self-described millennial
spokesperson for the culture, CNN's designated
"woke AF" former commentator, and the youngest
national press secretary in the history of the
United States shares her take-no-prisoners
approach to life, politics, and career success,
and shows a new generation how to be loud and
powerful in their own right.
Many people — most
notably white older men — may try to stop Symone
Sanders from speaking up and out. But Symone
will not shut up. And neither should
you. In this inspiring call to action, Symone
tells stories from her own life of
not-shutting-up alongside loud young
revolutionaries who came before her to help you
find your authentic voice and use it to your
advantage; to fight ideological battles more
effectively; and to resist those who try to
silence you.
After that, she got
the Kamala job, at what appears to have been a

She was in the top
tier of Kamala officials, one of the big

Her live-in
boyfriend is someone who was until recently
known as the "night mayor of Washington, D.C.," AKA
the "culture and nightlife" official of WDC, so to
combine it with her youth and Creighton cred,
she's probably
a party girl. It might have been why the
Democrats decided to match her up with Kamala.

from Sanders is in: Kamala is a sinking ship.

Willie Horton and the
Democratic Party's Greatest Fear
At seventy years old,
Willie Horton is serving multiple lifetime sentences
in a Maryland prison. His case was once famous
enough that we can be reasonably certain that this
recidivist monster will never again be released to
commit another crime. The
nation is safe from Willie Horton. But the
Democratic Party should not be.
Thirty-three years
ago, this generally unremarkable piece of detritus
provided an important lesson to the American
electorate.
In 1974, Willie Horton
and his accomplices robbed a gas station and viciously
murdered its 17-year-old attendant. Convicted
and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole,
he was locked up in Massachusetts for years,
presumably ensuring that decent Americans would be
safe from him from then on.
Unfortunately,
despite a sentence that clearly provided no room for
misinterpretation, the soft-on-crime Democrat
government of Massachusetts, under then-governor
Michael Dukakis, invited Horton to participate in an
unsupervised weekend furlough program in 1986.
Yes, you read that right: a vicious murderer
was set free for the weekend, on purpose; he didn't
even have to plan a clever escape. As one would
expect, Horton failed to return, and he did who knows
what for almost a year, until he was finally caught in
Maryland, having beaten and knifed an innocent couple,
binding the man, raping his fiancée, and stealing
their car.
This Dukakis-era
weekend furlough program became a campaign issue in
the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries, when
then-senator Al Gore brought it up as a valid knock
against Dukakis, his rival for the nomination. As soon as Dukakis was
selected as the party's 1988 nominee, the George H.W.
Bush campaign got to work making the same point Gore
had made, recognizing that a general election
population would be sensible enough to be horrified,
even if the Democratic primary electorate was not.
Three decades have
passed since then, and we now tend to attribute
President Bush's victory to a very real public desire
for a third Reagan term. There is some truth to
that. But we may have also forgotten how much of
a role the Willie Horton case played in that election.
This case, better than
any other at the time, clarified for even the most
casual observer just how different the two parties'
views were — and remain — on the critical issue of
public safety.
Fast-forward
to November 21, 2021. In the tranquil suburban
community of Waukesha, Wisconsin, a vicious [black
supremacist] bigot named Darrell Brooks — free on
bail with multiple pending felonies, one being his
recent attempt to run over his onetime girlfriend
with his SUV — allegedly drove through a Christmas
parade, running down as many innocent people as he
could, killing at least five, injuring some sixty
more.
Media-watchers
have already begun to comment on how relatively
little detailed coverage there has been. We
have noticed blatant photo-editing techniques used
to lighten the perpetrator's skin in media
photos. We have seen a surprising lack of MSM
interest in both the man's history and his apparent
motive. We have seen, if anything, a textbook
case in how to all but bury a story too big to
dismiss.
The night it happened,
we knew he was a criminal out on a ridiculously low
bail. We knew he was a career criminal with a
rap sheet a mile long.
But
what we have learned since is that he is a test case
of modern Democrat party policy — he is the ultimate
conclusion of what today's Democrats refer to as
"criminal justice reform," one of the fundamental
campaign issues of the entire national party for
several cycles now.
Everything
that happened in his adult life (and likely his
youth as well) went according to Democrat
rules. Released on pitifully low bail again
and again, even after bail-jumping... sentenced to
time served, which was often no time at all, even
for felonies, even for violent assaults...free even
after trying to run over his girlfriend...free to
record his malevolent, violence-advocating,
anti-establishment, anti-white, anti-music versions
of "rap" under the name Mathboi Fly.
Yes.
A test case for the policies of the modern left in
every way.
Republicans
call for high bail levels for proven violent repeat
offenders and bail-jumpers; Democrats call for an
end to bail, and for the virtual elimination of
holding even dangerous prisoners until trial.
Republicans call for
stiff and certain sentences for convicted violent
criminals; today's Democrats call for never-ending
second chances, and even for the elimination of
prisons themselves, as in the meantime, impatient
Democrat governors and judges routinely throw open the
prison gates on the slightest whim.
Republicans warn
against the race-hustling, class division, and
generally intolerant rhetoric of BLM, Antifa, and
their pop culture mouthpieces; today's Democrats just
double down on the venom, calling their foes
"satanic," "evil," "oppressive," and much worse on a
daily basis. Democrats attack Israel to attack
Jews; they imagine something called "white privilege"
and demand we apologize for it; they deny our Founding
Father's great principles and accomplishments by
calling them all slaveholders — yes, even the ones who
founded manumission societies. Truth means
nothing to today's left if it stands in the way of
their party line.
Republicans warn
against the cultural decline that has children more
likely to be raised in a single-parent household than
in a nuclear family unit; Democrats go so far as to
champion single motherhood as an objective good,
campaigning for ever more welfare programs to
encourage such generational dependence.
Is it any wonder that
our nation is suffering a massive crime wave?
Is it any wonder that
overwhelmed and unsupported police are resigning and
retiring in disgust and despair?
Is it any wonder that
law-abiding, hardworking folk are fleeing the cities
for saner environs?
Is it any wonder that
people like Darrell Brooks continue to push their
luck, again and again, ever more violent, ever more
destructive, ever more saturated with a level of
hatred that could drive them to pick out innocent
strangers from a crowd and mercilessly mow them down
with a car?
In
1988, such destructive lunacy was only the obsession
of a minority of Democrat politicians. Things
have changed. Today, it has infested their
party, at not only the federal and state levels, but
especially at the local level, in big and midsize
cities from coast to coast.
The Obama, Clinton,
and Biden campaigns made no secret of their disdain
for America's criminal justice system and its goal of
protecting the law-abiding citizenry. The modern
Democrat candidate campaigns as a righteous advocate
of "criminal justice reform"...which is in fact the
utter elimination of criminal justice itself.
Darrell
Brooks is the poster child for this modern Democrat
cancer.
Democratic
strategists — and their allies in the media — know
that his rap sheet, his crimes, his anti-white
vitriol, his misogynistic outlook, his disrespect
for the life, liberty, or property of other human
beings, are in fact an example of the America that
awaits us all if the Democratic Party continues to
hold power.
If Willie Horton was
the poster child of the 1988 election, then Darrell
Brooks must be all that and more in 2022 and beyond. (read

[...] I want to tell a story, one of the most
heartbreaking stories I’ve heard since my book came
out. A woman I met in southeastern Ohio – which is
really ground zero for the opioid problem and so many
other social problems that all of us care about in
this country – was telling me about a young patient
she had who had become addicted to opioids. He was
eight years old and he was already addicted to
Percocets. The way that this kid became addicted to
opioids is that he would do drug runs for his family.
Because they didn’t have a lot of money, if he made a
successful drug run, they would actually give him a
Percocet as a reward. That was how this kid, at the
tender age of eight, became addicted to opioids.
I think there’s a tendency in our politics on the
right to look at this kid and say ‘You know, it’s a
tragedy what’s happened to him, but it’s fundamentally
a tragedy that political power can’t touch. Parents
need to make better decisions. This child, God
willing, needs to make better decision when he grows
up.’
I think that ignores the way in which human beings
actually live their lives – the cultural, economic,
and environmental contexts in which this kid grows up.
It ignores the fact that this kid lives in a community
that has too few spare dollars to spend and too many
spare opioids. That is a political problem. That is
something that we decided to do using political power.
We allowed commercial actors to sell these drugs in
our communities. We allowed our regulatory state to
approve these drugs and to do nothing when it was very
clear that these substances were starting to affect
our communities. That was a political choice and
political power can actually fix it.
That kid lives in a community where even if he makes
good choices later on in life, he lives in a place
where there are virtually no good jobs for a kid of
his educational status and his social class. If he
wants to earn a decent wage, if he wants to work at a
good job, those jobs in his community have largely
gone overseas thanks to forces of globalisation that
we unleashed because of political choices. We made the
choice that we wanted that kid to be able to buy
cheaper consumer goods at Walmart instead of having
access to a good job. And maybe that was a defensible
choice – I don’t think it was– but it was a choice and
we have to stop pretending that it wasn’t. (read

Believed Propaganda & Died
Petra Mayer: 46-year-old National
Public Radio book editor “died suddenly” from blood
clots
SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND — A long-time National
Public Radio (“NPR”) editor is dead as mainstream
media continue the agenda of normalizing sudden death
of relatively young, healthy people.
Ms. Petra Mayer
began her career at NPR in 1994. She’s essentially
worked for the organization ever since. NPR reported
that Ms. Mayer, 46, “died suddenly” at Holy Cross Hospital
this past Saturday. Fox 40 in Sacramento also
reported that Ms. Mayer “died suddenly.” Of
course we know that “died suddenly” and “died unexpectedly” are mainstream media
code phrases for post-injection deaths.
There is no
concrete evidence that Ms. Mayer received mRNA or
viral vector DNA injections. But there is plenty of
circumstantial evidence that would effectively meet
the preponderance standard in civil court.
Occam’s Razor strikes
again
First, Ms. Mayer
was a die-hard liberal. Her Twitter profile says
“she/her,” and she frequently tweeted about “trans”
stuff. A September Gallup poll found that 92% of
self-identified Democrats have received at least one
injection. An August survey by the Human Rights
Campaign (HRC) Foundation, the self-professed
“largest LGBT rights organization in the United
States,” found that 92% of self-identified “LGBT”
have received at least
one injection.
Ms. Mayer appeared
eager to receive the injections back in March. She
utilized a sad-face emoji in expressing
disappointment that she wasn’t yet eligible for the
shots at that time. Another Twitter user mentioned
the vaccination site at Six Flags America in
Annapolis that commenced in
February.
[...] Finally,
Ms. Mayer reportedly died of a pulmonary embolism,
aka blood clots that formed elsewhere in her body,
but broke loose and blocked arteries in her lungs.

Fauci is
an unelected technocrat who has distorted science
and facts in order to exercise authoritarian
control over millions of Americans. He lives in a liberal
world where his smug “I REPRESENT science”
attitude is praised. Here are the facts:
On May
11, Fauci testified before a Senate Committee that
“the NIH has not ever and does not now fund
gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute
of Virology.”
On
October 20, NIH wrote they funded an experiment at
the Wuhan lab testing if “spike proteins from
naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating
in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2
receptor in a mouse model.” That is gain of
function research.
A new breed of
politicians wants working-class votes
There was a telling moment, for the American Right, in
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kyle Rittenhouse. The
18-year-old had just been acquitted of murder charges
for shooting three people, killing two, during riots
last summer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Carlson asked
Rittenhouse whether he believed the government would
protect him from threats he was receiving. “I hope
so,” he said, “but we all know how the FBI works.”
You would expect that kind of statement from a “defund
the police” advocate, but Rittenhouse is a former
youth police cadet whose support for “Blue Lives
Matter” was used to try and paint him as a racist and
far-Right extremist. His world-weary cynicism about
the FBI, expressed as Carlson nodded along
approvingly, signals a major shift in a central axis
of American politics.
Distrust of federal
law enforcement was, until quite recently, a
markedly Left-wing attitude, but it now represents a
baseline among Republican voters. In February 2015,
a Reuters poll found that almost 84%
of Republicans reported a “favorable” view of the
FBI. By February 2018, only two years into Donald
Trump’s presidency, a different Reuters poll showed
73% of Republicans agreeing that “members of the FBI
and Department of Justice are working to
delegitimise Trump through politically motivated
investigations.” Imagine how those same people feel
now, after Special Counsel John Durham’s indictments
have exposed the FBI’s role in perpetrating the Trump-Russia
dossier fraud.
What does it mean
when America’s law-and-order party comes to see law
enforcement, along with much of the federal
government, as fundamentally illegitimate? The
answer is being worked out by a crop of Republicans
whose project is to extend the politics of Trumpism
beyond Trump. Blake Masters, a close business
partner of tech investor Peter Thiel who’s running
for a Senate seat in Arizona, has called for
“standing up to the bureaucratic national-security
state.” In a campaign ad, Masters describes a nation
under siege from within, “up against a media that
lies to us, schools that teach our kids to hate our
country, and corporations that have gotten so big,
they think they’re bigger than America.”
There are clear
echoes in that message of Steve Bannon, Trump’s
original campaign manager and another Thiel
associate, who championed a war against the
administrative state on behalf of American workers.
Bannon lasted less than a year in the White House,
but he now runs one of the most popular podcasts on
iTunes, War Room, which has more than 100 million
total downloads. In an appearance on the podcast
this week, Masters told Bannon: “I consider that you
simply don’t negotiate with terrorists. And I
believe the Democratic Party, Schumer, Pelosi and
Biden are holding us hostage.”
Masters, along with
two other Thiel-backed political candidates — Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance,
who’s running for the Senate in Ohio, and Army
Special Forces veteran Joe Kent, a self-described
“Trump endorsed America 1st Congressional
candidate,” who’s running for a House seat in
Washington state — distinguished themselves from
other Republicans by offering early and vocal
support for Rittenhouse.
It’s easy to see
why, since the Rittenhouse trial seemed tailor-made
to illustrate the premises of their brand of
populist nationalism. A young, working-class, white
Trump supporter, Rittenhouse was subjected to a
public smear campaign in which President Biden
himself impugned him as a white supremacist in a
campaign video. Meanwhile, the state prosecution
deflected attention away from the evidence
supporting Rittenhouse’s self-defence claims and
onto his motives by suggesting that he had come to
Kenosha looking for trouble — despite the fact that
Rittenhouse could be seen on video, shortly before
the shooting, offering medical aid to Black Lives
Matter protesters.
As the prosecution
bumbled its way through the trial and got publicly
scolded by the judge, it only further proved the
point of those who see an American regime spanning
the upper layers of government, media, and business
that is not only illegitimate but incompetent, run
by emissaries of a “clown world,” as a popular
phrase on the Right has it.
“Think about what
this says about our disgusting elite leadership in
this country,” Vance said in a video message
recorded days before the Rittenhouse verdict. “If we
don’t defend this young boy who defended his
community when no one else was, it may very well be
your baby boy that they come for.” The day
Rittenhouse’s acquittal was announced, Masters
tweeted: “This case reminded us that our justice
system, like every other institution our ancestors
built, is under siege, and that the besiegers are
very close to victory.”
The rallying cry of
the “Rittenhouse Republicans,” which at times
approaches the rhetoric of revolution, is that the
ruling class has become parasitic on the lives of
ordinary Americans. “We despise our government &
corporations benefiting from the security &
labor of our working class solely for the benefit of
elites who have no loyalty to our nation, rather
they despise us & are using the wealth they
generate to fund our decline,” Kent recently
tweeted. Both Masters and Kent say they think Trump
was the rightful winner of the 2020 election.
Aside from the
specifics and symbolism of the Rittenhouse case,
publicly supporting him makes sense in terms of the
demographic changes in the makeup of the major
political parties. While Wall Street business
executives and upper middle class professionals now
overwhelmingly back the Democrats, the Republicans
have, by default as much as by choice, increasingly
courted the working class. Over the past decade, the
party’s biggest gains have been among white voters
without a college degree, and in the 2020 election,
it made some inroads with voters of all races
without a college degree. (read

I
stopped believing all history once we lived

Hardcore History guy would tell the truth about
Biden? It’s fun stories - all fake
Pro-choice activists are
failing the vulnerable Everyone I worked
with at Planned Parenthood believed in the mission. Of
course we did; how else could we deal with the long
hours and low pay? Or the fact that basic things we
needed, like upgraded computers and furniture for the
waiting room, just “aren’t in the budget right now”?
Or the stressful working conditions?
Pro-life culture was particularly hostile at the time,
and many of us felt under siege in our Texas location.
We ran drills so we all knew what to do if someone
released anthrax in our building. Being hated is often
clarifying, and we all believed we were doing good,
even if in a sometimes shabby way.
It took a while to notice that the executive director
was making six figures; that the administrative
offices, unlike the clinic, never had broken chairs;
that the clinic in the posh neighbourhood was nice and
the clinic on the side of town where white people were
a minority was not. Planned Parenthood was forever
making headlines for testifying in front of Congress,
or getting into a war of words with some hideous
Christian fundamentalist who claimed abortion causes
breast cancer (it doesn’t!). But it didn’t seem to be
lobbying for healthcare expansion, or campaigning for
compulsory training in abortion services for medical
students. It wasn’t challenging politicians who claim
to be pro-choice but only mention it when there’s an
opening on the Supreme Court, instead of consistently
supporting policies that would help the women who came
to us in need.
But as hard as it was working in the hostile
environment of Texas, back before people started to
have hopes of flipping the red state blue, it also
felt historically important. This is where American
abortion rights were born, and this is where the
greatest threat to those rights now lies. On September
1, the state blocked access to all abortion services
for women beyond six weeks of pregnancy. Because most
pregnancies are impossible to detect or confirm before
the four-week mark, and because many women won’t
realise they are pregnant until considerably later
than this, the state has effectively blocked abortion
access full-stop. The law was immediately challenged,
and the Supreme Court has heard arguments, but so far
it has not released any ruling. Still, with the way
the court is packed at the moment, with a heavily
conservative slant, it’s not looking good for
supporters of reproductive justice.
It’s poetic, almost, that Texas is erasing a right
that originated within it. Sarah Weddington was only
25 when she filed a lawsuit, in 1970, against the
Dallas district attorney. She was acting on behalf of
a pregnant client who was seeking to obtain an
abortion, pseudonymously known as Jane Roe. Before
long, Weddington found herself in front of the Supreme
Court, making the argument that finally gave American
women the legal right to terminate a pregnancy. But
the focus of this landmark case, and the way it was
handled by the professional feminist community, showed
that it was only a matter of time before the
pro-choice project came crashing down. Because from
the very beginning there existed a gulf — one that I
noticed on the frontline of Planned Parenthood —
between the empowering rhetoric of the professional
activists and the realities of those who found
themselves pregnant and vulnerable, caught in the
middle of a political battlefield.
The Planned Parenthood promotional materials always
exhibited the bright smiles and shiny hair of healthy
young women, confidently making the healthcare choices
that were right for them. They aren’t the ones who
needed our help. I remember a week of repeated calls
from a young man describing his girlfriend’s symptoms
over the phone, all of them suggesting pregnancy. “But
she’s not pregnant right?” All I could do was say it’s
impossible to diagnose pregnancy over the phone and
urge him to tell her to come into the clinic. I could
hear him telling her, “They say you’re fine,” and I
wondered how long he pressured her not to get help —
and if, by the time she was “allowed” to take a
pregnancy test, it was too late to choose whether or
not to end it.
The people who most needed assistance, then, were not
the independent and beautiful poster children of a
Planned Parenthood ad campaign. They were much more
like the woman at the centre of Roe v Wade, whose name
was actually Norma McCorvey. She already had two
children. Her first became the centre of a custody
battle between McCorvey and her own mother; her second
was adopted outside the family. When McCorvey realised
she was pregnant for a third time, she tried to get an
illegal abortion, but she found the clinic had
recently been raided by authorities.
Her young, idealistic attorneys immediately recognised
the potential McCorvey’s story held. It was the kind
of case that could make it all the way to the Supreme
Court, due to her already troubled maternal history.
But they also knew that this wouldn’t help her
individually: if she stayed in the spotlight, McCorvey
would have to continue the pregnancy. She made the
sacrifice, in the name of women’s rights. But she
found that the feminists who championed Jane Roe, a
legal persona, had very little time for Norma
McCorvey.
In the 2020 documentary AKA Jane Roe, McCorvey talked
about how she was sidelined. She wanted to speak at a
pro-choice rally, but the organisers were more
interested in Gloria Steinem and other more
professional, or photogenic, activists. McCorvey was
poor, identified as a lesbian, and lacked formal
education. Her story wasn’t one of triumph and
empowerment; it was one of abuse by men, familial
dysfunction, and addiction. She was in desperate need,
but she wasn’t a particularly inspirational
standard-bearer.
This same problem plagues the pro-choice movement
today. In an attempt to “normalise” abortion, and
thereby gain widespread support for reproductive
rights, the movement focuses on an appealing minority:
attractive, professional, financially stable women
“shouting their abortion” on social media. It’s as if
once we hear that the cute blonde girl got pregnant
through no fault of her own and she really just isn’t
ready for motherhood — she can barely take care of
herself right now! — then we’ll finally understand
that it should be fully legal and accessible. Lindy
West, in
a viral essay, compared getting an abortion to
having a tooth removed, giving the sense that these
decisions are easy to make, these services are
convenient to access, and the procedure is comfortable
to endure.
But pretending that the young, urban, middle-class
woman who is choosing ambition over family is
representative of those who need abortion services
does nothing to help, well, anybody who isn’t that. (read
