What they REALLY mean by “living with Covid” – “Why are media dialling back on the Covid hysteria? Is it because the “pandemic” is really over? Or is it an important part of the gaslighting process?” – Kit Knightly

Letter to the Washington State Board of Health On the Proposed Policies to Involuntarily Detain People in a Quarantine Facility & Mandate COVID Vaccination in Schools – “I am asking that you listen not in your capacity as a board member but as a fellow human being, as a neighbor, as a friend. For nearly a year, you have been gradually conditioned to view the unvaccinated as enemies. You have been subjected to a relentless propaganda campaign designed to divide you from us; to dehumanize us; to paint us as science-deniers, conspiracy nuts, spreaders of disease, and threats to society.” – Margaret Anna Alice  – AN EXCELLENT READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where’s The Wood? – “You know, wood, nails, saws, hammers…. and boiled rope? Now Pfizer and Moderna’s CEOs are apparently on Corrupt National Bull**** crowing that a fourth shot is necessary. May I remind you of the lies? How did all this work out for AOC? Or Geraldo, both of whom were “true believers” that if you got the first two shots you absolutely would not get *****. Both got ***** recently after taking the booster, which was the “second” set of lies. There are many words you may choose to describe a drug you have taken three times within a year and shortly thereafter get the disease but if you use the word “*******” given that personal record of ineffectiveness you deserve an immediate Clue-by-4 to the face in a (likely futile) attempt to correct your vapid stupidity. Nobody in their right mind would expect a condom that only lasts for 15 seconds of sex before breaking to prevent pregnancy or deter transmission of STDs. That’s how ****ing stupid everyone is being at this point with regard to the jabs.” – Karl Denninger

Are the vaccines doomed, or are we? – eugyppius

Vaccinated people who then test positive for COVID; the wave is building – “An alert reader pointed me to a key statement in a document published by OraSure Technologies, a manufacturer of a rapid COVID test. The key quote occurs in a section headlined, Limitations of the Test: “Potential cross reactivity of the InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test with COVID-19 vaccines or therapeutics has not been evaluated.” And the next question is: how can the FDA grant emergency use authorization for this rapid test, when cross reactivity with the vaccine hasn’t been explored? The manufacturer clearly understands that cross reactivity with the vaccine is a possibility; otherwise they wouldn’t have mentioned it.” – Jon Rappoport – PERHAPS THIS IS FAILURE BY DESIGN TO PUSH THE BOOSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CDC Director Almost Admits Failure – “Yesterday the CDC director Rochelle Walensky tweeted that we must protect people at highest risk of bad outcomes from COVID19. The tweet is a subtle shift from prior messaging, and likely reflects her realization that the pipe-dream of ZeroCovid—eradication of the virus—is dead. Omicron makes it clear, COVID19 will not go away. ” – Vinay Prasad MD MPH

U.S. CDC may recommend better masks against Omicron – “The agency will likely advise people opt for the highly protective N95 or KN95 masks worn by healthcare personnel, if they can do so consistently,” – Reuters  – WHAT A F****N’ JOKE. THEY ARE BASICALLY SAYING THAT THE OTHER MASKS THAT THEY SAID EVERYONE SHOULD BE WEARING FOR TWO YEARS AREN’T REALLY GOOD AT STOPPING THE VIRUS. NOT THAT WE DIDN’T ALREADY KNOW THAT, IT’S JUST THE IDEA OF IT ALL!!!!!!!!

CDC Admits Over 75% of COVID Deaths Were People “Who Had at Least Four Comorbidities” -” They were “unwell to begin with.” – Paul Joseph Watson  – GOT THAT? AT LEAST 4 COMORBIDITIES! NOT TO BE RUDE, BUT THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT IN VERY GOOD HEALTH ANYWAY!!!!!

‘Pandemic of the Vaccinated’ – “The dominant public health message in the U.S. is pro-Covid-19-vaccine, no matter how ineffective the vaccines have proven to be in terms of infection and spread. Government, establishment public health officials, and other vaccine industry interests have widely advanced the false narrative that the pandemic is a “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated.” There’s no record of any expert predicting at the outset that as more people got vaccinated… vastly more would get sick from Covid and die. The trend should have been the opposite: more vaccination: fewer cases, illnesses and deaths.” – Sharyl Attkisson  – VERY GOOD ARTICLE FROM SHARYL!!!!!

Twitter thread of Sharyl’s article above. If you are into tweeting.

Experts cast doubts over reported ‘deltacron’ variant, say likely due to lab contamination – “WHO Covid expert Dr. Krutika Kuppalli said on Twitter that, “Okay people let’s make this a teachable moment, there is no such thing as #Deltacron (Just like there is no such thing as #Flurona). This is likely sequencing artifact (lab contamination of Omicron fragments in a Delta specimen)” ” – Holly Ellyatt  – AND JUST LIKE THEY REALLY CAN’T PROVE SARS-CoV-2 EXISTS. OH, AND A LAB MADE A MISTAKE AS WELL. KIND OF LIKE A WUHAN LAB MISTAKE. AND HERE I WAS JUST GETTING PSYCHED UP FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF FEARMONGERING OVER A NEW SCARIANT!!!!!!!

Stop vilifying the unvaccinated – “The elite demonisation of Britain’s unvaccinated citizens is helping no one. Slandering individuals on the basis of their vaccination status and suggesting the use of authoritarian measures to force people to get the jab won’t do much to increase vaccination rates. But it will divide society and turn people against one another. A far better approach would be to try to understand who the unvaccinated are and then seek to address their concerns.” – Rakib Ehsan

New estimates: 76% of Americans have had covid – El Gato Malo

4th COVID Booster Shot Could Cause ‘Immune System Fatigue,’ Scientists Say – “As Israel moves ahead with fourth COVID shot, scientists told the New York Times the additional booster may cause more harm than good.” – Jeremy Loffredo

After once claiming his shots are “100 effective,” Pfizer CEO now says 2 COVID shots “offers very limited protection, if any,” against COVID-19. – “Effective?” – Jordan Schachtel

T Cells From Common Colds Cross-Protect Against Infection With COVID-19: Study – Zachary Stieber

COVID Vaccine Intended To Reduce World’s Population Without Anyone Suspecting Says Leading Doctor (VIDEO) – “The leading doctor credited with improving early treatment of COVID-19 said in a conference that the goal of vaccine transmission campaigns is to “control and kill off a large proportion of our population without anyone suspecting that we were poisoned.” “The deaths that are meant to follow the vaccinations will never be able to be pinned on the poison. They will be too diverse, there will be too many, and they will be in too broad a timeframe for us to understand that we have been poisoned,” claims Dr. Shankara Chetty.” – Great Game India

Freedom Is the Answer – “I’m now looking again at the polls of Biden’s popularity. They are shocking, even devastating. To me, these numbers represent far more than the unpopularity of one guy. They are but a sign — a slight one but one we can see — of something far more fundamental going on. What we see here is a deeply dangerous loss of trust not only in government, but in everything, including tech, media, experts in general, and a growing cultural perception that truth is no longer accessible to us. We are living amidst the rising of information chaos, the late stages of what Robert Malone has called mass formation psychosis. Where it ends up cannot be known in advance, but that something is coming and will hit us very hard is no longer in doubt.” – Jeffrey Tucker

The Loathsome Ruling Class and the January 6th Protestors – “Over the past twelve months, unable to hide their unbridled disdain for the unwashed masses, unfounded accusations of domestic terrorism and insurrection have been directed at the legions of everyday Americans who attended the rally on January 6, 2021. They are willing to blindly persecute and marginalize a sizable percentage of the citizenry — Americans whom these elitists do not know nor care to meet — in order to permanently rid themselves of their nemesis, Donald Trump.” – Steve McCann

The Real Threat to Democracy is Corrupting Wealth Inequality – “Imagine a town of 1,000 adults and their dependents in which one person holds the vast majority of wealth and political influence. Would that qualify as a democracy?” – Charles Hugh Smith

Last Friday was a “supreme” example of a superpower in decline – “Dominant superpowers typically have a strong Rule of Law. And conversely a weakening Rule of Law is a major indicator of a superpower in decline. And it is a major indicator of America’s decline. Most often these examples come from politicians, who refuse to follow their own rules. We saw this last year with the constant COVID-1984 hypocrisy– politicians going out maskless to their hairdesser appointments while ordering everyone else to wear masks and stay home. Their message was clear: The rules are for thee, not for me. We’ve also witnessed some of the most utterly absurd instances of declining Rule of Law. ” – Simon Black

WHAT ARE THEY GETTING READY FOR!!!!!!!

Trump’s Vaccine Support May Cost Him Victory in 2024 – David Haggith

America’s Legitimacy Crisis Heats Up – “The establishment’s mask is coming off and as the days go by, their vapid talk about protecting the sanctity of democracy grows hollower. With three retired generals recently calling for lawmakers to “war-game” for a potential coup attempt during the 2024 elections, a heavy-handed state crackdown against right-wing dissidents is likely on the table. Inquiring minds would like to know how the ruling class will respond to a controversial election result that doesn’t go their way. Use a military that heavily relies on enlistees from the American South to intervene in the allegedly racist flyover country and other areas replete with “deplorables”? Indeed, the Washington class is facing a situation where it could potentially miscalculate and use force against the deplorables. And if it reaches that point, all veneers of democratic legitimacy will be erased.” – José Niño

Health insurers will cover 8 home COVID-19 tests a month starting Saturday, Biden administration says – Peter Weber   – 8  A MONTH????  THEY WANT YOU TO TEST YOURSELF EVERY FEW DAYS IT LOOKS LIKE.

How US arms sales fuel corruption around the world – Kelly M. McFarland

Biden Regime Rejects Russia’s Security Demands – “As expected, hours of talks in Geneva on Monday ended with no agreement on Russia’s security demands. Head of Russia’s delegation, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, explained that “no progress” was achieved, adding: Russia’s main concerns “are on hold, and we do not see the American side’s readiness to resolve them in a way that suits us.”” – Stephen Lendman

What War With Russia Would Look Like – “If ever a critical diplomatic negotiation was doomed to fail from the start, the discussions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine and Russian security guarantees is it. The two sides can’t even agree on an agenda.” – Scott Ritter

Where Does NATO Enlargement End? – “It is easy to understand why these nations would want the U.S. obligated to fight on their behalf. What is not understandable is why the U.S. would issue such war guarantees. Why would we commit to risk war with a nuclear-armed Russia on behalf of nations no one has ever regarded as vital interests of the United States of America?” – Patrick J. Buchanan

Don’t look up… you might see Leonardo DiCaprio being an eco hypocrite on his £110million yacht – “He is a celebrity UN climate change ambassador who has called the issue ‘the most urgent threat facing our entire species’. But while he urges fans to take action, Leonardo DiCaprio has been spending time on one of the world’s biggest, and most environmentally unfriendly, superyachts. The 315ft, £110 million Vava II – which even features a helipad on the uppermost of its six decks – produces as much carbon by sailing just seven miles as an average car belches out in a year.” – Abul Taher

I Was Offered Fake 5-Star Reviews in Quantity of 10s on Google, Facebook, Tripadvisor, Yelp: Turns Out, They’re Amazingly Cheap – “They even use “software” to hide that the reviews came from India. So next time you see those innumerable slightly bizarre 5-star reviews that you’ve been taking with a grain of salt for years, you can put a dollar-figure on them.” – Wolf Richter

Two is One . . . – “Wealth is not necessarily the same thing as money – especially if money is just paper. You may have $10,000 in the bank today. It may not have any value six months from now. It probably ought to make you uneasy that the value of your wealth depends on forces outside of your control – when money is just paper. Paper under the control of sinister forces – the government, for instance.” – Eric Peters  – ERIC DOESN’T USUALLY WRITE FINANCIAL ARTICLES, BUT LIKE MOST OF HIS ARTICLES, THIS ONE IS GOOD!!!!!!

2022: The Year of the Hangover? – “The global recovery has slowed down significantly since the peak of the reopening effect in June 2021. What many expected would be a multiyear cycle of above-trend growth is proving to be a more modest bounce. Furthermore, according to Bloomberg Economics, the global economy will likely grow in the next ten years at a slower pace than in the decade prior to the pandemic.” – Daniel Lacalle

How did we get back to the precipice of the year 2000, where tech stocks plunged 80% and the S&P 500 lost 50% of its value over the ensuing two years?” – Michael Pento

NEWS ( VIRUS EDITION )

Light It Up! – “We are at a strange pass in The Saga of Covid. It seems the spikey virus wants to leave center stage… is weary of all the attention… wants to fade into the eternal parade of microorganisms that cozily coexist within the human life-stream — like Tony Fauci’s HIV, a fellow traveler in the old-time throng of human viruses, Omicron: the 36-hour head cold that Covid-19 has been demoted to. Omicron: a mere wise-cracking gecko compared to the roaring dragon that was Covid-19 in the winter of 2020. Omicron: kind of an embarrassment to “vaccine” tyrants who still seek to jab every arm on earth, and at ever-shortening intervals — like a med school version of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, only with syringes running amok instead of brooms. The Party-of-Chaos (the one headed by the ectoplasmic “Joe Biden”) does not want to let go of Covid-19, its Swiss army knife of destruction.” – James Howard Kunstler  – ANOTHER GREAT READ FROM MR. KUNSTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Fact checking” is the new propaganda ministry – “Fact check: mostly true. It has become a near perfect heuristic that any “fact check” by reuters or AP is a lie. I mean, you’d think they’d at least pick a few to play it straight every once in a while to mix it up. But they don’t. And frankly, the hilarity of it is beginning to beggar belief.” – El Gato Malo

Replace Sotomayor with Pinocchio or Bozo the Clown; make idiocy even more visible—if possible – “Senator Rand Paul suggested Soto the Great might be getting her numbers from that serial liar, Fauci. Also, during the Court hearing, Justice Clarence Thomas asked, “Is a vaccine the only way to treat COVID?” Unless he was making a joke, he’s been living in cave for the past two years. BUT these and other remarks from Justices did something unexpected. They opened the door to a discussion of the mandates based on the merits, on facts, on whether the mandates are scientifically justified.” – Jon Rappoport

Truth-Telling Banned on Sunday Propaganda Shows – “January 9 was no different from earlier shows. CDC shill for Pharma’s interests Walensky showed up on Fox News Sunday to lie and mass deceive viewers — like always when invited on propaganda TV. Asked to comment on Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor’s embarrassing display of ignorance — falsely claiming that over 100,000 children are hospitalized in serious condition from flu/covid — Walensky ducked the issue by reciting her customary litany of bald-faced Big Lies” – Stephen Lendman

Early Outpatient COVID Treatment – Why is There Still no Plan? – “For most infections, early treatment is imperative to prevent late complications” – Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.

Some thoughts – “So the CDC ran a fake (junk science) study on diabetes risk from Covid infection. But ask yourself… why a fake study on diabetes… I think the answer is fairly obvious. Diabetes and kidney failure are known side effects from these shots. The CDC picked this particular disease because they knew it was a side effect and they were looking for a way to cover it up. If you get diabetes following the shot now they can just say, “you probably had Covid previously and we just didn’t know it.” The CDC ran a fake study just to create a new set piece for the narrative.” – Toby Rogers  – SOME GREAT OBSERVATIONS FROM TOBY!!!!!!

Testing Will Not Save Us – “I have heard many people say that at this moment—January 2022—testing will save us.Unfortunately, here are 9 considerations that they are missing when it comes to mass testing.” – Vinay Prasad MD MPH

Bill Filed In Washington Would Authorize ‘Strike Force’ To ‘Involuntarily Detain’ Unvaccinated Families: ‘They Have Already Set Up The Internment Camps’ – “WAC 246-100-040 was certified on October 25, 2019, months prior to the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. The first confirmed case of Covid in the US was diagnosed in Seattle on January 20, 2020. The Washington State Board of Health will hold a virtual public meeting on January 12 to discuss the application of W 246-100-040.” – Alicia Powe  – REMEMBER WHEN INTERNMENT/FEMA CAMPS WERE JUST CONSPIRACY THEORIES. MORE ON THE SUBJECT FROM DAVE, BELOW!!!!!!!

The Biden Administration Is Shifting the Power to (Medically) Incarcerate Dissidents In Concentration Camps Run by the States – “I believe that the Supreme Court is going to rule in favor of Biden’s vaccine and mask mandates. However, if they don’t, I expect the Supreme Court will refer the matter to state jurisdication. In other words, I believe that the most we can hope for is that the state, not the feds, will put you in a concentration camp under false health pretenses.” – Dave Hodges

NEWS

We Can Never Stop Speaking Out: Only the Truth Will Set Us Free – “While the term mass formation has taken center stage as of late, this is simply a collective mentality where most all think as one in order to gain approval of the group, force communal gathering for the purpose of perceived safety, cling to the social norm of the moment, and vilify any who choose to not conform. It happened in Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, and it also happens in the buildup to war.” – Gary D. Barnett

What Makes Riots, Conspiracies, Cabals, and Insurrections ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’? – “Shut up and keep quiet; that is all ye need to know.” – Victor Davis Hanson

FOURTH TURNING 2022 – BAD MOON RISING – “The consistent drivers of this Fourth Turning are the three unequivocal factors – debt, civic decay, and global disorder. The specific events creating the daily trials and tribulations of this Fourth Turning all have their basis in one or more of these three driving factors. Those in control of the crumbling narrative have been doubling down and producing bigger and bigger lies to keep the fear level at eleven.” – Jim Quinn  – VERY LONG, BUT VERY GOOD!!!!!

We Need a Revolution – “The rising support for violence against government is rooted in the growing (and justified) belief that the people’s liberties are being taken by a ruling class that is indifferent at best, and hostile at worst, to their values and concerns. I am not speaking of a violent revolution that replaces one form of authoritarianism with another, but a peaceful revolution of ideas.” – Ron Paul  – WHILE THIS IS ADMIRABLE, I AM AFRAID WE MAY BE BEYOND THAT POINT!!!!

The Left’s Latest Political Scheme: Let Noncitizens Vote – ” The new New York law is part of a nationwide push to blur the very meaning of citizenship and promote noncitizen voting everywhere and for all offices.

This is some really lazy work…”” – Nick Arama

#BareShelvesBiden trends on Twitter as Americans deal with empty shelves – “The hashtag “BareShelvesBiden” has taken off on Twitter, with Americans nationwide documenting an alarming number of empty shelves in their local grocery stores.” – Hannah Nightingale

Joe Biden Rants Aimlessly About Windmills While Addressing Thousands of Wildfire Victims – “Another day, another head-scratching moment from Joe Biden. What do windmills have to do with wildfires? Is he trying to make some kind of ridiculous climate change connection? Or is this like when Democrats tell out-of-work coal miners that they’ll get fancy new jobs building solar panels? When people have lost their homes, the last thing we want to hear about is a president bragging about building windmills.” – Bonchie – I WILL GO WITH THE CLIMATE CONNECTION. I’VE HEARD THEIR MISGUIDED LOGIC SO MUCH THAT I CAN REPEAT IT. FOSSIL FUELS = INCREASED TEMPS. INCREASED TEMPS = FORREST FIRES. WINDMILLS CREATE ELECTRICITY WHICH = LESS FOSSIL FUEL = LESS FORREST FIRES. NOW YOUR HOUSE WON’T BURN DOWN. YOU SHOULD ALL BE HAPPY. IN THE MEANTIME, TOUGH SHIT!!!!!!!

BREAKDOWN: Basic Services And Supply Chains Are Rapidly Breaking Down All Over The Globe – Michael Snyder

Why Was Trump’s EO About Federal Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Deleted? – “This executive order was one of the first actionable steps the American people have really seen our government take in order to protect the nation against the effects of an electromagnetic pulse.  EO 13800 has been removed. You can no longer find the link on WhiteHouse.gov, where it has sat for years. Check for yourself. What happened here? Why was the link removed? Was that particular EO rescinded? If so, why? With all of the very blatant threats of an EMP attack against US soil, why would now be the time to retract an EO used to protect against an EMP?” – Jeff Thompson

AOC Tests Positive For COVID – Tyler Durden   – MUST HAVE GOT IT IN FLORIDA, THOSE DAMN REPUBLICAN STATES. IT’S ALL DESANTIS’ FAULT.

Biden’s claim that this is a pandemic of the unvaxxed took a big hit this weekend – “Biden’s declining brain has a phrase and he’s sticking to it: COVID, he insists, is “a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” However, the weekend revealed two more high-profile, heavily vaccinated people confessing that they, too, caught COVID: Geraldo Rivera and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! The schadenfreude is delicious.” – Andrea Widburg

Australia has humiliated itself – “Australia’s treatment of Novak Djokovic has been cynical, unfair and cruel.

Does Russia Understand She Is Dealing With Lunatics? – “In advance of the January 10 meeting, Secretary of State Blinken and NATO functionary Stoltenberg stupidly reduced Russia’s Options to Two: Surrender or Use Force. If these idiotic accusations were not enough, Blinken accused Putin of intending to restore the Soviet Union. It is impossible to understand how a person this stupid was confirmed by the US Senate as Secretary of State. The last thing the Kremlin wants is all the problems of all of these countries. All the Kremlin wants is that they be independent countries, not US puppet states armed against Russia.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Offer Russia a Solution, Not a Policy Placebo – Doug Bandow

Were Joe Biden’s minions behind the uprising in Kazakhstan? – “The real problem seems to be in Russia’s perception of who started the revolt, which may well lead to Joe Biden, and shatter any good will Putin may have had in cooperating with NATO on Ukraine. In a nutshell, the Russians think Joe Biden did it, throwing out the Kazakhstan revolt like a stun-grenade distraction to draw Russian attention away from Ukraine and thus keep the Russians from invading the place. Hunter Biden could not be reached for comment.” – Monica Showalter

Fact Check: “Christianity” and the Christian Religion is NOT Found in the Bible – The Person Jesus Christ Is – “11 years ago I wrote: Should believers of Jesus Christ today use the name “Christian” to describe themselves, even though the earliest disciples did not? There is probably no right or wrong answer to that question. I am not sure that is still true today, in the Post-COVID world, because the word “Christian” and “Christianity” is clearly associated today with being Pro-Pharma and Pro-Vaccine, and therefore Pro-Satan and his world system. COVID has revealed (not caused) the very deep corruption in the American Christian Church and its idolatry in serving the ruler of this world, as opposed to serving the current ruling King who sits on the throne in the Kingdom of God.” – Brian Shilhavy   – INTERESTING VIEWPOINT FROM BRIAN!!!!!!

Greece Just “Won” The Race To 5G. Poor Greece. – “Remember all the hype about “the race to 5G” and how important it was supposed to be for economic dominance in the 21st century? Whoever “won” was going to have a huge advantage over other countries that didn’t rush to put in 5G everywhere. Or so the narrative went. Now Greece appears to have “won” the race; the country’s national wireless carrier, Cosmote, having covered virtually the entire country and much of the Aegean with 5G. So what’s the prize? In “winning” the race to 5G, Greece just won the booby prize. *They’ll blame climate change, of course—mark my words.” – Naturalist Activist

Worst Week for the 30-Year Long Bond in 49 Years – “Bonds got massacred last week as the Fed signals faster and deeper tightening.”- Mish

Central Banks Rush to Protect Themselves from Incoming Disaster – “The times, they are a-changin’, as Bob Dylan tells us. On the global economic stage, the U.S. isn’t the dominant economic superpower that it once was. This conclusion comes from the declining popularity of dollars among global central banks. In a sense, holding any asset as part of a nation’s monetary reserves is a vote of confidence in it (which is a big reason central banks own tons of gold bars). Here’s the concern: according to International Monetary Fund (IMF) data, the U.S. dollar (USD) has been hobbling along at a 26-year low in terms of its share of global reserve currencies.” – Birch Gold

The Fed Can’t Do What It’s Saying It Will Do (VIDEO) – “They’re extinct. They may as well be the dodo bird at the Federal Reserve. Everybody is a dove. We’re just talking about degrees of dovishness. And so, the Fed was less dovish than the markets had expected.” – Peter Schiff

It Didn’t Just Happen . . . – “How did we get to this point? The federal government is about to decide whether it has the “constitutional” power to force everyone in America to submit to “vaccination” . . . not because they are sick or even likely to get sick – but on the basis that they might and if they do then it could affect others, impose “costs” on “society,” generally.

We Have Never Been More ‘Vaccinated’ and We Have Never Had More COVID-19 – “8.5 billion mRNA doses later we have finally “flattened the curve” — along the Y axis. You would think it would have done at least a little bit of a difference for infections — instead infections have never been higher and it’s not even close. Actually the more “vaccinated” locales tend to have more COVID — as you would expect for a “vaccine” with a negative efficiency for infection: the two-dose makes you more likely to test positive after some 6 to 8 months, while the booster goes into negative territory after as little as 2 months.” – Anti-Empire

“I Do Not Want To Have A Vaccination”: NHS Doctor Tells UK Health Secretary On Camera – “he doesn’t believe the science for mandating the vaccines is “strong enough” and the government should at least consider the nuance that some doctors have had antibodies through previous exposure to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus” – Lily Zhou

The Accidental Biosecurity State – “The sorry state of Canada’s Covid response is glaring. Ontario is under lockdown. Quebec is under a curfew. Ontario, BC, Alberta and Quebec have started the year with closed schools. Canada has sleepwalked into a biosecurity state. The boot of Covid policies is on citizens’ necks at all times and authorities keep moving it.” – Mikko Packalen

Wendepunkt – ““Where’s the vaccine mandate they promised us?” whines Daniel Brössler, reporter for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, disappointed because yesterday’s Corona summit of German minister presidents returned nothing but some adjustments to quarantine and sharpened testing rules. Meanwhile, in Austria, the thrice-vaccinated chancellor Karl Nehammer has tested positive for Corona. The news comes as Austria announces they will delay implementing their vaccine mandate by two months. It is obvious that we are at a turning point, even if everyone has yet to realise it – even if France is sharpening vaccine requirements, even if Italy has imposed vaccine mandates for everyone over 50, and even if Canada is for the moment determined to remain a prison state. It is a commonplace observation, but a true one: Since the vaccines began to fail in August, the vaccinators have been progressing through the proverbial five stages of grief.” – eugyppius

New big data study of 145 countries show COVID vaccines makes things worse (cases and deaths) – “I missed this study. So did the mainstream media for some reason.

Huge Number of Vax Deaths & It’s Getting Worse – Dr. Pierre Kory Huge Number of Vax Deaths & It’s Getting Worse (VIDEO) with Dr. Pierre Kory – ” Dr. Kory warns, “They already broke death records with these vaccines almost a year ago. Now, you are starting to see it in actuarial data with life insurance companies. The life insurance companies have been paying out claims like they never have before, and they are noticing the deaths cannot be explained by Covid” – Greg Hunter

A Pandemic of Bureaucracy – “Germany is not short of idiotic rules either. For instance, after a year of accepting surgical masks, now they are requiring FP2 masks on public transportation and even supermarkets. Is there any study that shows that FP2 masks work any better than surgical ones? Not really. It seems that the idea is that, since such masks make breathing harder, they are thought as more efficient. Since none of that works, one would think that with such abysmal failure the pandemic bureaucrats would give up, but that is misunderstanding the issue. As a wise man observed long ago, a bureaucracy, like a virus, exists only to perpetuate itself.” – TE Creus

January 6 and the real ‘Big Lie’ – “The Big Lie is that Trump and his supporters are engaged in The Big Lie. That is the real lie, the biggest lie (Mother of All Lies?) of all. Trump-supporters, though misguided on January 6, 2021, were attempting to protect their nation from the real coup, the never-ending coup against America, at least red-state America, being perpetrated by the left and almost all Democrats. Incredibly, the coup that sought to oust the democratically elected Trump from office began even before he arrived there. The real Big Lie has been — and is still being — aided, abetted, and promoted by the Big Liars in the mainstream media.” – Eric Utter

Death by wood chipper is less likely to incur the wrath of human rights activists for torture than forcing someone to listen to Kamala’s speeches.

They too looked like Feds. Yesterday we reported on an incident in Chicago where a number of individuals were seen marching and then scrambling into cars.

Furniture giant Ikea slashes sick pay for unvaccinated staff forced to self-isolate after close contact with someone infected with Covid-19 – “The move means unvaccinated workers, who are required by the Government to isolate for 10 days after close contact, could receive as little as £96.35 a week under Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) obligations, a legal minimum. That compares with the average pay for Ikea shopfloor staff of £10.10 an hour outside London and £11.30 in the capital – the equivalent of £404 and £452 for an average working week.” – Alex Lawson  – I SAY SCREW IKEA FOR TREATING THE UNJABBED AS SECOND CLASS CITIZENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, digging deeper reveals that the asymptomatic “patient zero” was tested “constantly” until returning the result (false positive?) that authorities need to justify the ongoing culling of tens of millions of birds and claim that YOU cannot be allowed to raise your own animals to feed your family. Meanwhile, Australian grocers are rationing meat as asymptomatic workers are kept from work, resulting in abattoirs shutting down in Australia.

The State Duma is expected to finalize and vote on nationwide QR code legislation in the coming weeks. If everything goes according to plan—and it probably will—this law will come into effect in February. Where is the discussion on this civilization-altering bill? There are so many self-professed Russophiles and Russia Analysts on the interwebs—and hardly a peep about one of the most consequential moments in Russian history.” – Edward Slavsquat

Putin Stamps Out the Fire in Kazakhstan and Ukraine – “What may have been surprising was how quickly Russia and Kazakh’s President, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev invoked the CSTO to come in and stop the nonsense. But, if it didn’t happen this way the consequences for Russia and the rest of Asia would have been catastrophic. Kazakhstan is simply too big and too important for Russia to even consider allowing to fall back into the hands of someone like Nursultan Nasarbaev, a true post-Soviet meglomaniac, Russophobe and self-interested jackass whose double dealings with the West are just shy of those by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.” -Tom Luongo

Kazakhstan: Another Western-Ordered ‘Maidan’ in the Making? – “Washington denies that the West played an active role in the massive protests that have engulfed the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan. Yet the overall orchestration of the strife, in addition to the curious timing, points to some level of foreign intrigue.” – Robert Bridge

You Need to Train – “I think that the biggest gap and blind spot that we have in preparedness circles is training. A quick look at social media will confirm this. You’ll find discussions and photos of all the latest whiz-bang gadgetry we buy, photos of our food stockpiles, photos of guns and ammo, but not a lot of discussion on the training we do. Now, I‘m not really a fan of discussing anything on social media, which I’ll get into in a second, but most people narrative their lives on it, and the lack of discussion is proof that training isn’t happening for most. The main reason to avoid social media discussions is Operational Security (OPSEC). The DHS has publicly stated that they believe preparedness to be an indicator of “potential right wing domestic violent extremism”, right alongside “a strong belief in the Constitution”. Yes, really. Not only is being flagged by the DHS a concern, but the Defense Production Act is as well.” – Joe Dolio  – PRETTY SAD THAT IF YOU HAPPEN TO DISCUSS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT YOU ARE TRAINING TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY OR PREPARING FOR AN EMERGENCY, THAT THEY MAY CONSIDER THAT AS BEING A TERRORIST!!!!!

If it’s not inalienable, it’s not a right – “In every single place that has imposed vaccine requirements to socialize, the ratchet has been one way. Have they given you freedom in return? Removed masks? Allowed normal life? Has a single one even MENTIONED a process or standard by which this restriction could one day be removed? Because I sure have not seen it.

Sacrificing Children to Covid Vaccines – “Those who want to vaccinate children follow neither the science nor logic. Subjecting children to Covid jabs needlessly exposes young lives to potentially grave risks. The incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis may be as high as 1 in 317 in the young, especially boys, and increases further with each additional dose. Then there is a danger of deadly blood clots as well as several other serious conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Astonishingly, scores of children have already been injected with two doses that turned out to be ineffective, which is the reason a booster is now required.” – Vasko Kohlmayer

The Crumbling Narrative – “Is the Government wandering in the wilderness? Isn’t it time for all of the COVID-19 data trackers to split the years up: 2020, 2021 and now 2022? I mean really, 2020 is like, so yesterday… Combining all years sure makes good fear-porn though, doesn’t it? Seriously, 2020, 2021 and 2022 are apples and oranges in terms of variants, treatments, vaccines and deaths, etc. In order to look seriously at the data, those data now need to be segmented by year – just like for any other disease.” – Robert W Malone MD, MS

As long as they don’t have any real power these people act as a reminder of what happens when human beings abandon reason for madness.

One year on and he is almost entirely absent from social media. As are those of his more conspiratorial supporters, 70,000 of whom were also purged in the wake of Trump’s ban. This isn’t just about Trump himself, either. During the 2020 campaign Big Tech engaged in an act of censorship that was almost as sinister and damaging to democratic life.” – Tom Slater

Have we reached the point where Big Tech censorship is simply accepted? – “The most shocking thing about Twitter’s ban of Marjorie Taylor Greene, the first national US politician since Donald Trump to be de-platformed, was the lack of outcry about Big Tech’s self-appointed role as the arbiters of truth.” – Norman Lewis

I heard some crazy things… I might have thought that they would be getting their information from somewhere other than their political intuition, mixed with wildly inaccurate claims from bloggers and media pundits. I was wrong. The very existence of this case in the Supreme Court reveals that something is fundamentally broken about our presumptions about the relationship between the individual and the state. It must be fixed. Let us hope that this case awakens a culture and a world to a desperate need for dramatic reform. Human rights and public health are too important to be left in the hands of high courts.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker  –  BRAVO, MR. TUCKER. I MIGHT ALSO ADD, GET THE CDC OUT OF SCIENCE AS WELL.

No one from a country where these things actually happen could mistake 1/6 for “a coup .” In the real version, the mob doesn’t take selfies and blaze doobies after seizing the palace, and the would-be dictator doesn’t spend 187 minutes snacking and watching Fox before tweeting “go home.”” – Matt Taibbi

New level of COVID fakery; I’m doubling down – “I’m expanding the claim I’ve made in several recent articles. I wrote that, by accepting current statistics on COVID cases in the US, you’re committed to concluding that everyone in America is going to be infected. That was an UNDERESTIMATE. —Regardless of vaccines, quarantines, isolation, lockdowns, distancing, masks, everyone moving to underground bunkers and permanently wrapping themselves in stitched-together plastic shower curtains.” – Jon Rappoport

The Three Faces of Evil – “Back when Germans first started eliminating undesirable portions of society, they made up a word for them: Untermensch. Roughly translated it means “under” or an inferior person. The realization that this is happening again, despite first-hand witnesses reminding us of the torture and death that was carried out on undesirables under the Nazi regime, should chill us to the bone. Soon the last of these brave souls will be gone. If we do not heed their warnings, what future do we have? Yet, incredibly, the frenzy to vaccinate every single person in the entire world, down to babies, continues at full speed. And why wouldn’t it? The fact that the vaccines don’t work has nothing to do with how successful they have been. Not a single politician or media pundit that I can think of, except Candace Owens, has dared to even suggest the vaccines might be dangerous and we shouldn’t take them. They haven’t even spoken out against giving them to children.” – Karen Hunt

The Vaccine is a Dud – “To date, the most important and surprising information about the vaccines is that they do not prevent the vaccinated from contracting or transmitting the virus. The irony is that the CDC, a government agency, readily admits this, it is becoming increasingly evident that the reason why the Biden administration is demonstrably not “following the science”[iii] is that the irrational and probably unconstitutional vaccine mandates are not about public health at all but more likely about the implementation of a universal digital identification program that governments are labeling “vaccine passports.”” – Jeffrey Barrett  – AND THAT IS “THE BIGGER PICTURE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why the Left Cannot Let Go of Jan. 6 – “The left cannot let go of Jan. 6. Indeed, it has fixated upon, exploited and exaggerated the riot to discredit and destroy the Trump presidency in the history books and to prevent Donald Trump from ever running or being elected president again.” – Patrick J. Buchanan

January 6 and the Enabling Act – “Ever since the January 6 protests got out of control, the mainstream press and the Democrat Party establishment have done everything they can to milk it for all its worth. The one-year anniversary today of that event continues that trend. Just look at the front pages of the mainstream press and you’ll see what I mean. Make no mistake about it: The statists are going to use this event as a way to further destroy the rights and liberties of the American people.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Supreme Court Justice Exhibits Shocking Lack of Basic COVID Knowledge During Hearing – “The Supreme Court, which is hearing arguments over vaccine mandates, displayed a stunning lack of knowledge of basic Covid-19 facts during today’s oral arguments.

Media mostly ignores NYC DA’s plan to keep criminals out of prison – “Look, while I disagree with some of the criminal justice reform efforts out there, I at least understand where they come from. You can make the case that someone might steal things because they’re poor. You can argue that people engaged in drug use or sex work are victims and shouldn’t be treated as criminals. I can get where they’re coming from on that, even if I don’t think any of that should make a damn bit of difference. But this? There’s no way this should be tolerated by the people of New York. These are violent criminals.” – Tom Knighton

They Are Hypocrites That Preach ‘Tolerance’ For Everyone – Except For The Groups That They Really, Really Hate – “Emmanuel Macron referred to the unvaccinated as “non-citizens”, and he stated that it was his goal “to piss them off”… What a terrible thing to say. So precisely how does he plan to “piss them off”? Well, he apparently intends to limit the ability of unvaccinated people to live a normal life “as much as possible”… What do you think would happen if Macron made that statement about a racial minority or the LGBT community?” – Michael Snyder

The Lessons of I-95 – “The snow was so fierce and heavy it paralyzed traffic on I-95, which became a kind of extended parking lot for much of the distance between Richmond and Northern Virginia, which is more than 100 miles. Thousands of drivers were stuck inside their cars, for as long as 27 hours – which is more than one full day, if you’re counting. This is extremely inconvenient – as well as uncomfortable, assuming your car isn’t an RV with beds in the back and cable TV. It could be something else – if your car happens to be electric.” – Eric Peters

Living in Epoch-Defining Times: Food, Agriculture and the New World Order – “Farmerless farms manned by driverless machines, monitored by drones and doused with chemicals to produce commodity crops from patented genetically engineered seeds for industrial ‘biomatter’ to be processed and constituted into something resembling food. Data platforms, private equity firms, e-commerce giants and AI-controlled farming systems. This is the future that big agritech and agribusiness envisage: a future of ‘data-driven’ and ‘climate-friendly’ agriculture that they say is essential if we are to feed a growing global population. The transformative vision outlined above which is being promoted by the likes of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation amounts to a power grab.” – Colin Todhunter  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM COLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Venmo and CashApp Now Monitoring Transactions Over $600, Cash Will Become King Once Again – “The Biden administration’s plans to get into your personal bank accounts and monitor transactions over $600.00 was slapped down with the demise (currently) of the Build Back Better agenda. So, just as with the vaccine mandates, the Biden administration is using corporations to do his dirty work. A line item inserted into the American Rescue Plan will now be the “back door” to finding out how Americans are spending their money. Make no mistake: this is simply another ploy to target small business and weaponize the IRS against average Americans.” – Jennifer Oliver O’Connell

Chicago Thieves ‘Boast’ Of Ease Of Store Break-Ins By Dumping Loot On Democrat Governor’s Lawn – “A group of armed burglars broke into two Lakeview convenience stores, dumped their stolen cash registers in front of Gov.

Russia is Done Playing Politics Over Ukraine – “As we approach next week’s big summit between the U.S./NATO and Russia over tensions in Ukraine it’s important to understand just where things between everyone stands. Russia’s Foreign Ministry, normally the soul of understatement and infuriating politeness, has been ratcheting up the blunt over the past couple of months. Nothing else seems to get the attention of U.S. and European so-called diplomats and decision-makers. These are people who arrogantly believe it is their right and privilege to demean everyone else they don’t respect or agree with. They sincerely don’t like it when it comes back at them.” – Tom Luongo

Russia Outflanked – “Just as the Kremlin had steeled itself to face down the West over Ukraine, Washington initiated the destabilization of Kazakhstan on Russia’s central Asian border. At this time it is unclear how serious the situation is, but the Collective Security Treaty Organization consisting of Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, and Kazakhstan have sent troops in response to the Kazakh government’s request for help. Now the Kremlin finds itself with troubles on two fronts. In my view, it was a strategic error for the Kremlin to bank on diplomacy and Western good will. Perhaps Russian elites were unable to take seriously Washington’s intent to destabilize the Russian Federation in the interests of Washington’s hegemony. The question that remains is what is the point of next Monday’s meeting between Putin and Biden?” – Paul Craig Roberts

“My QR code is more anti-NATO than yours” – “Are we really going to do this? Please no. What is “actually” happening in Kazakhstan? Nobody seems to know. But we have a very uneasy feeling about things. We are worried people are falling back into their antiquated horse race way of viewing the world. “Muh NATO”; “Muh multi-polar world order.” People are actually cheering for various governments and military alliances while being cattle-tagged by these same governments and military alliances. It’s astounding. We are astounded. The Kazakh government uses a color-coded digital cattle tag system to control all aspects of normal life.” – Edward Slavsquat

The Economy / Market Look “Healthy” Until They Have a Seizure and Collapse – “Some readers occasionally make the point that I’ve been predicting a market crash for ten years and been dead-wrong for ten years.What I’ve been saying is that living on junk food and sugar-cocaine speedballs isn’t “health” just because a handful of pills has dropped cholesterol readings to “healthy” levels. ” – Charles Hugh Smith

Ending Fiat Money Won’t Destroy the State – Ryan McMaken

My Two-Bit Political Awakening – “Coin dealing helped me recognize early in life that a government promise is not worth a plug nickel. From 1878 onwards, the U.S. Mint printed silver certificates redeemable for silver coins from the U.S. government. In 1964, the Treasury Department repudiated that pledge, announcing that certificates were henceforth redeemable only for silver bullion, not coins. In 1967, Congress passed the Act to Authorize Adjustments in the Amount of Outstanding Silver Certificates. Congress “adjusted” silver certificates by nullifying all further redemptions. Shortly after my 15th birthday, the U.S. government drove the final wooden stake into the nation’s currency. In August 1971, President Richard Nixon announced that the U.S. government would cease honoring its pledge to pay gold to redeem the dollars held by foreign central banks. For almost a century, American coinage and currency policies have veered between “government as a damn rascal” and “government as a village idiot.” The dollar has lost 85 percent of its purchasing power since Nixon closed the gold window. I remain mystified how anyone continues trusting politicians after the government formally repudiates its promises.” – James Bovard  – EXCELLENT POINT FROM JAMES!!!!!

The Pain is Almost Over – “For once the Fed surprised the markets with a far more hawkish message than anticipated. How did the markets react? Stocks dumped almost immediately and closed at the low of the day. As forecast months ago, this caused real yields to spike higher to levels not seen since June. The dollar rebounded. The combination of these factors led to precious metals and miners getting slammed. None of this should be a surprise to you.” – David Brady

Why does no one trust the media anymore? – Gee, i wonder… Watch as the hot question of the day from the press pool is “Hey, why isn’t the president meaner to 38% of Americans?” This is not media asking the tough questions like “Hey, why aren’t vaccines doing ANYTHING to stop spread? Or even hospitalization counts?” or “Why does the northeast look as bad or worse than last year on these metrics despite 95%+ vaccination rates?”” – El Gato Malo

The Population Is Being Killed Off with Covid mRNA “Vaccines” – “Why then are there vaccine mandates? Is this stupidity or a depopulation program? This is a legitimate question. The adverse effects, or side-effects, of the mRNA “vaccines” that are under-reported to VAERS are not side effects in the traditional sense, such as an allergic response to a vaccine or the effect of a substance in a vaccine on a person sensitive to that substance. What are being called adverse effects are consequences of the “vaccine” turning the human immune system into a weapon against its own body, as described by Dr. Sucharit Bahkdi and others:” – Paul Craig Roberts

Who Are the Real Insurrectionists? – “Stone-cold sober elites are systematically waging a far more dangerous and insidious revolution in the shadows than anything threatened by the American Right. We are in a dangerous revolutionary cycle. But the threat is not so much from loud, buffoonish one-day rioters on January 6.” – Victor Davis Hanson  – VERY GOOD READ FROM VICTOR!!!!!!

No, the Capitol riot was not a coup – “A year on from ‘1/6’, we need to set the record straight. The Capitol riot was not any sort of organised attempt to take over the federal government. That it was a coup has been argued repeatedly and hysterically by the mainstream media, which also referred to rioters in buffalo-hide headdresses as ‘insurrectionist terrorists’. Per the Oxford English Dictionary, a coup is a ‘sudden, violent and illegal seizure of power’ from a government by some organised faction. Coups are almost always carried out by the military: the example given under the Oxford definition is ‘an army coup’. Even more bluntly, Webster’s primary definition of a ‘coup’ is simply a ‘coup d’état’, which it defines as a ‘military coup’.” – Wilfred Reilly

The sinister legacy of January 6 – “Almost one year on from the riot at the US Capitol Building, it continues to be used by those in positions of power to develop a culture of fear – yet another example of a threat being amplified and raising public insecurity.” – Frank Furedi

The NYT Perpetuates the Myth of a January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill Insurrection – “The NYT never met an indisputable truth about a key domestic or geopolitical issue it didn’t reinvent to serve its one-sided support for wealth, power and privilege at the expense of governance for everyone equitably and journalism as it should be. Throughout Trump’s tenure, it invented fake reasons to slam him over legitimate ones.” – Stephen Lendman

Meet The Capitol Insurrection Hoax—Just Like Charlottesville, Another MSM Lie – “Not content with treading on Christmas with Hanukkah etc., the Democrat-Media Complex apparently has now decided to swamp Epiphany, traditionally the end of the Christmas season, with mass public ululations about their January 6 Capitol Insurrection Hoax. Thus Witchfinder in-chief Merrick Garland, in an overwrought speech opening the ritual, actually demanded a “moment of silence” for five (?) police officers who subsequently died. Garland must know, and he must know that we know, that not a single one of these deaths was in any way caused by Trump supporters, whereas the deaths of Trump supporters Ashli Babbitt, and arguably Kevin Greeson and Rosanne Boyland, if not more, certainly were caused by police action.” – Peter Brimelow

The idea that somehow, someone could get away with a major crime — one that supposedly has the attention of the entire federal apparatus — is simply unfathomable. In the aftermath of Jan 6, the feds leveraged every agency in the federal government to track down virtually every single individual who participated in the protests that day. Judging by their public behavior, the FBI seems entirely disinterested in catching the most overt and dangerous criminal involved in the January 6 incidents.” – Jordan Schachtel

Twitter to hunt for ‘harmful content’ on Jan 6 – “The announcement comes on heels of reports of 700,000 new users joining the right-leaning alternative Gettr in less than a week” – RT

Kazakhstan: Hey, Liz! Here’s what a real Jan. 6 insurrection looks like: – “Congressional Democrats and their allies have been blowing a lot of hot air about the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” a pathetic crowd-control failure brought on by Capitol police incompetence, crossed wires among those charged with security, and quite likely some FBI pot-stirring, through agents provocateurs. It’s bee ess.” – Monica Showalter

AG Garland’s Remarks About Jan. 6 and ‘One Rule’ of Law Defy Belief – ““The central norm is that in our criminal investigations there cannot be different rules depending on one’s political party or affiliation,” he added. “There cannot be different rules for friends and foes and there cannot be different rules for the powerful and the powerless. There is only one rule.” Astonishingly, his tongue didn’t go up in flames immediately for this lie.” – Nick Arama

Humanity as it Exists Today Is Facing Extinction: An Inevitable Threat – “What Aristotle understood about tyrants and the weakness and pathetic nature of man over 2,400 years ago, still holds true today. The major difference today is that this attempted fascist and communistic takeover is a total global effort, so virtually every country on earth is under siege by evil governing forces and those who control them. In other words, there is a concerted effort by the so-called master class, to assure a global takeover of humanity, thereby stifling any and all thought of individual thought and freedom among the collective masses.” – Gary D. Barnett

The Terrifying Lessons of COVID-19 – “During the past 18 months, the relationship of the American people to the government has changed radically, as the Constitution’s failure to restrain the federal and state governments and to protect personal liberty has become manifest. We know that for the past 100 years the growth of the federal government has been exponential. And we know that while formally the Constitution still exists, functionally it has failed miserably, as the deterioration of personal liberty since the spring of 2020 has been as grave as the losses of freedom in the past 100 years.” – Andrew P.

Critical Pedagogy: Your Children May Be At Risk – “Are you ready for your children to be indoctrinated in Marxist ideology? The truth is that C.R.T. or some derivative of it is being taught to educators as part of their training, not directly to the students. The teachers are indoctrinated in a particular ideology that informs the way they teach and how they frame the world to the kids. However, C.R.T. is only one small aspect of the Marxist doctrine known as Critical Pedagogy. Pedagogy is just a fancy word for education theory. The Brazilian intellectual Paulo Freire founded Critical Pedagogy, and his most influential work is the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed. According to Google Scholar, it was the third most cited book in the social sciences as of 2016. That gives you an idea of how massive is its influence on education.” – Caroline Adana

There’s no need to panic, and this view is widely supported by the entire investment industry. Unfortunately, this narrative is based on wishful thinking rather than reality.

Reducing Hospitalization Risk . . . – “It’s a strange thing. Like the Biden Thing. The “vaccinated” insist they’ll never be “safe” unless others – unless everyone else – is “vaccinated,” too. Over and over and over, again. How long before people are expected to carry around IV bags? It’s an incongruous etiolation of that business about forcing others to wear a “mask” . . . so as to keep the “masked” safe. It is now admitted that the “vaccines” do not immunize – an admission dragged kicking and screaming into the sunlight by the impossible-to-suppress percolation of sickness . . . among the “vaccinated.” It turns out they not only can get the sickness they were told – and told us – the “vaccinated” would be immunized from getting (cue the Biden Thing) but can also give it to others.

This allows him to report rates of adverse events that are 41 times or more lower than the true rates.” – Steve Kirsch

No COVID vaccine will ever beat natural immunity – “We spend millions of dollars a year “keeping it natural.” We pay a premium for organic food, including for our pets. We diligently scour labels in search of harmful chemicals that may penetrate our homes or bodies. And “green living” has become more than just a passing fad. Putting it mildly, our nation has become obsessed with the goodness of nature and the best it has to offer in everything, especially our health.

Besides that, the political class has learned just how useful a pandemic can be; much easier than creating a crisis. And we all know that Democrats (and maybe even some Republicans) won’t allow a good crisis to go to waste. Besides that, I don’t see a whole lot going on to correct the problems we’ve faced in the last few years.” – Bill White

Covid: A Collision of Historical and Scientific Illiteracy – “People don’t want to acknowledge the fact that we do not live in democratic societies any longer. Yet today the world is fully run by an oligarchy and that oligarchy wants us to be diverted and outraged about superficial things while staying ignorant or silent on issues important to us like the following. How has the public’s willful ignorance been established so easily? The Covid crimes were carefully practiced beforehand through a series of exercises conducted by governments and corporations since 9/11. And the operation builds upon elements utilized in all the previous government crimes against humanity. Here are three primary components.” – Kevin Ryan

Seven Hours in January Was Not Seven Days in May – “What occurred on January 6 had the exact opposite characteristics of an actual coup” – Thomas Buckley

Is The FBI Ever Going To Get Around To Finding The Jan. 6 Pipe Bomber, Or Nah? – Jordan Boyd

Biden Addresses Nation With Same Rhetoric: Get Vaccinated Or Else – “President Biden’s negative road forward. Today’s brief speech did not bring much of anything new to the table. As usual, the president did not take any questions from the reporters. He did, however, end his speech with this pearl: “There’s a lot of reason to be hopeful in 2020 (sic).”” – Kelli Ballard – C’MON MAN, YOU KNOW IT’S CONFUSING FOR JOE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YEAR IT IS!!!!!!!!

Escape From New York – “Ilived in New York City in the last half of the Rudy Giuliani mayoralty. It was a glorious city. If only I had a dollar for every conversation I had with someone that started, “I’m a liberal, but…,” and then went on to praise Giuliani for cleaning up the city and making it livable again. Well, as with the proverbial dogs that return to their own vomit, New York City voters have broken definitively with Giuliani-era maxims. The newly elected Manhattan district attorney, a wokester named Alvin Bragg, has announced that his officer will cease seeking prison time for all but a handful of extreme offenses. No kidding — check out the memo.” – Rod Dreher

Big Tech Launches Another New Year Purge Of Political Dissidents – “Just as last year introduced a radical escalation of censorship, this year promises to be no different.” – Tristan Justice

MSNBC Host Refused Service in NYC Restaurant Because of Four-Year-Old, Unvaccinated Daughter – “Mohyeldin groused, “What science, data, or public healthy policy or guideline is this grounded in? I couldn’t even get my 4-year-old vaccinated if I wanted… Where is the science and data that backs up that decision? Or is that irrelevant?” But therein lies the problem. It isn’t science. The CDC hasn’t even gone there. But this is where we’re at, at this point, because the “adults” at MSNBC have gone along with this. Now the MSNBC guy sees a problem? He should have seen a problem the minute they went to mandates and the government tried to dictate to people.” – Nick Arama  – HIS 4 YEAR OLD COULDN’T GO IN. DID HE HAVE HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE WITH HIM. MAYBE THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS 5, ANYWAY ANY AGE SHOULDN’T MATTER. IT’S ALL RIDICULOUS. BUT EVERYONE PUTS UP WITH IT!!!!!

Meta Censors Anti-Imperialist Speech In Obedience To The US Government – Caitlin Johnstone

Will the Washington Idiots Bring the End of the Western World in 2022? – “According to the World Bank, Russian GDP in 2020 in US dollars was $1.5 trillion. The annual budget of the US military/security complex is $1.0 trillion. Thus, the US military/security complex has a budget that is two-thirds of Russian GDP. Of course, the Americans waste most of the money. Nevertheless, the Kremlin understands that a budget two-thirds as large as their economy requires an enemy. And the enemy is Russia. The Kremlin is saying, we will play the enemy game with you, but you must not mean it. To convince us that you don’t mean it, you must get off our doorstep. If you don’t, we will throw you off. This is plain, direct language. It brings the problem directly to Washington where it belongs.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Preparing for War, NATO Keeps the Propaganda Going – “The US-NATO military alliance is preparing for war, and the western media are playing its game.” – Brian Cloughley

Nuclear War Over Ukraine? – “How many American soldiers will die in the battle for Luhansk? Or Kerch? Not 1 in 1,000 Americans could find these drab Ukrainian (formerly Russian) industrial cities on a map. How many Americans are aware that a unit of the Florida National Guard is stationed in western Ukraine, of all places? It’s just a training mission, says the Pentagon. Right. Training how to pick oranges. This from the ‘invincible’ US military (I used to be a member) that got its backside whipped in Vietnam, Iraq and now Afghanistan.” – Eric Margolis

Remember when implantable tracking microchips were just a conspiracy theory? Thanks to covid, they’re now a reality – Ethan Huff

Why Should Preppers Care About Mass Formation Psychosis? – “Mass formation psychosis. That’s the buzz phrase that has rocked the internet the past two days. This comes about after the inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, Dr. Robert Malone, used the phrase to describe the current state of society on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Immediately, search engines began to alter their algorithms so that only those narratives which fit the great MSM, Silicon Valley, globalist/communist narrative were shown. But let’s take a step back from the scientific jargon for a moment, if you will. Because the fact of the matter is that you’ve already a fundamental and inherent understanding of what mass formation psychosis is.” – Jeff Thompson

Real Hourly Wages Have Risen Less Than a Penny a Year Since 1973. – “Let’s investigate how much inflation has eaten wage growth over time.” – Mish

Workers See Their New Power, Quit in Record Numbers to Get Better Jobs at Companies Struggling to Fill 10.6 Million Openings – “Workers come out ahead, a phenomenon not seen in many decades, as desperate employers poach workers from each other amid widespread labor shortages.” – Wolf Richter

2022 Will Be Even Worse Than 2021 (VIDEO) – “We’re the world’s biggest debtor nation — record trade deficits. We’ve got no savings. We have a complete bubble economy based on artificially low interest rates, excess consumption financed by debt and money printing. And we’re about to pay the piper for that.” – Peter Schiff

Why Did the World Choose a Gold Standard Instead of a Silver Standard? – “Had it not been for this government meddling designed to control gold and the “gold standard,” we might still be living in a world of true currency competition today—a world of competition between gold, silver, and anything else that market actors might find to be useful as a general means of exchange. The history of metallic money is largely a history of silver money. Going into the distant past, of course, we find that silver coins were in continual use from the ancient world well into the nineteenth century. Gold coins were indeed used as stores of value and as money, but silver coins were the coins most often used because silver coins were more numerous and appropriate for ordinary daily transactions than were gold coins.” – Ryan McMaken – GOOD ARTICLE FROM RYAN!!!!!!!

A New Year For Comex Gold – “After a disappointing 2021, the new year for precious metals likely holds a return to the bull market gains seen in 2019 and 2020.” – Craig Hemke

Liquidity Drives Markets… and What That Means for Your Portfolio – Nomi Prins

Bonds Buckle, Top Stocks Stink – “So far, the timing is right, and things are looking pretty solid for my prediction last year that inflation will become so hot and prolonged, contrary to all the Fed and the experts were saying, it will force the Fed to taper and then to taper faster, and tapering will become its own tightening by forcing interest rates up as the Fed releases its grip on bonds, which will kill the stock market if inflation doesn’t kill it directly first by ravaging the economy and eating up profit margins.” – David Haggith

Step Aside “Transitory” Inflation: The Fed Wants To Be Dead Wrong About “Easing Supply Chains” Next – Tyuler Durden

To Attack the Root of the Evil, Fix the Money – “This is your brain on fiat monetary systems and central banking: Price inflation is caused by everything except for printing loads of new money?! If Senator Warren believes that prices increase because of the greed of price-gouging companies, does she believe that when prices fall, it is the result of corporate benevolence?” – Jp Cortez

NEWS ( VIRUS EDITION )

COVID: Everybody will be infected; no exceptions; stop pretending otherwise – “First of all, here is the main reason why health authorities don’t just throw up their hands and say, “Everybody is going to get infected”: It’s bad for business. The business of profits and control over populations.” – Jon Rappoport

21/22 – “If I say that 2020 was the year of the virus, and 2021 the year of the vaccine, most people would probably agree. But 2021 was so much more than that; it was also the year of propaganda, media capture and narrative control at levels beyond anything we’ve ever seen. The good thing that has come out of this is that so much of it has been exposed. That Anthony Fauci is still in his job is absolutely insane. Fauci is not the best doctor in the US, he’s just the best connected to the pharma industry. That guarantees Americans the worst deal they could get, not the best. And of course anyone else at the upper echelons of the NIAID, CDC, FDA, they need to go too. Fauci et al put them there.” – Raúl Ilargi Meijer

The truth is starting to leak out of Fauci like air from an old tire – Andrea Widburg

They Said They Would Slow the Spread – “It’s been the most astonishing two weeks for American public life, with so many prescient changes, from new censorships, admissions, backtracks, experts speaking out, public outrage, and what strikes me as a progressive unraveling of every orthodoxy imposed nearly two years ago. And now we look around and see the evidence of failure so pronounced, so impossible to deny, that we must face that which so many have worked so hard to deny for so long.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

Reports of COVID Vaccine Injuries Pass 1 Million Mark, FDA Signs Off on Pfizer Booster for Kids 12 and Up – “VAERS data released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention included a total of 1,000,229 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 21,002 deaths and 162,506 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020, and Dec. 24, 2021.” – Megan Redshaw

Fact Checking Dr Malone “Deaths up 40%” Claim – “My first reaction was that the article he is referencing, “Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64” — is fake news from a sketchy news website masquerading as an Indiana paper. I mean, this is so crazy, how could it be true? So I decided, as I usually do when I hear something outlandish, is to try some fact checking. Verdict — true. ” – Igor Chudov  – I HAVE SEEN MORE LINKS TO THIS STORY THAN ANY OTHER VIRUS STORY SINCE I’VE BEEN LINKING VIRUS NEWS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS!!! THE ONLY ONES NOT TALKING ABOUT IT – THE USUAL MSM FAKE NEWS. THIS SHOULD BE HEADLINES EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preventive Medicine For Viral Illnesses – Bill Sardi

Now it’s personal…Several of my loved ones have suffered seriously from the so-called ‘vaccines’ – “Anthony Fauci would scoff that these five cases are merely ‘anecdotal’, and they are. But there is growing evidence that what happened within our own circle of family and friends is happening all across America.” – Steven Mosher  – READ THE COMMENTS MANY SAY THE SAME THING: AND PROBABLY NONE OF THESE GET REPORTED TO VAERS WHICH IS WHY MANY SAY VAERS NUMBERS COULD BE 40X HIGHER!!!!!!!

Reflections on Another Year of Covidian Lies and How the Truth Will Ultimately Prevail – Rob Slane

Why don’t public health agencies and regulators track vaccine efficacy by vaccine type? – “Because it sure seems like that would be useful public health data” – El Gato Malo

The Pharma Cartel: America’s COVID-19 vaccine market remains closed off to outside competition – “Is U.S. Public Health’s big bet on mRNA paying off? The U.S. COVID-19 vaccine market has been shut out to outside competition for almost a year. Despite these shots being marketed and sold as akin to a cure to a coronavirus, they have catastrophically failed to achieve that result” – Jordan Schachtel  – AS STATED YESTERDAY FAUCI PRIMARILY JUST WANTS TO USE THE EXPERIMENTAL mRNA MODERNA AND PFIZER VACCINES!!!!!!!!

Biden Administration Begins Building Infrastructure for Permanent Pandemic, DoD Signs $137 Million Deal for Test Strip Facility to Complete in Late 2024 – “The Biden administration is signaling that COVID-19, and all current and future variants therein, are part of the new and permanent way of life. COVID-19 is being codified in the permanent regulatory state” – Sundance  – LINKED A SIMILAR ARTICLE ABOUT THIS ON SATURDAY. LOOKS LIKE SUNDANCE HAS THE SAME CONCLUSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despotism Is the New Normal: Looming Threats to Freedom in 2022 – “Digital tyranny, surveillance. Intolerance, cancel culture, censorship. Lockdowns, mandates, government overreach. Supply chain shortages, inflation. Police brutality, home invasions, martial law. The loss of bodily integrity, privacy, autonomy. These acts of tyranny by an authoritarian government have long since ceased to alarm or unnerve us. We have become desensitized to government brutality, accustomed to government corruption, and unfazed by the government’s assaults on our freedoms. This present trajectory is unsustainable. The center cannot hold.” – John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead  – JOHN AND NISHA’S ARTICLES ARE ALWAYS GOOD. THIS ONE IS EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!

Bitcoin, 2022 and the Real Story Behind COVID-9/11 – “Lies are expensive. The truth sells itself. Because, eventually, there is a limit to threatening people for disobeying.

One Year Later, More Lingering Questions About January 6 If Republicans take over Congress next year, they must demand a full investigation under a new select committee. Contrary to the lamentations of FBI Director Christopher Wray that he wished his agency had had better resources to prevent the Capitol breach, hundreds of elite forces under Wray’s authority were on stand-by days just before the protest, and even on the ground as it happened.” – Julie Kelly

Corporate Media’s Jan. 6 Anniversary Coverage Is All About Silencing Republicans – “the actions of a relatively small group of rioters that day have absolutely nothing to do with the perfectly valid efforts of GOP lawmakers to ensure that election rules are not changed at the last minute by unelected judges or public health officials. Equating the two, pretending they share a common cause and motivation, is a way to discredit the valid arguments of Republicans, smear them as “insurrectionists,” and eventually justify efforts to silence them.” – John Daniel Davidson

The Big Lie and the Elastic Truth: How to Invent a Coup – “I’ve taken a guilty pleasure recently in watching the faux intellectuals on MSNBC and CNN pass judgment on not just Donald Trump, but also on everyone who shares his disdain for authoritarian pronouncements on COVID-19, election integrity, climate change and a host of other issues. From what I can tell after studying Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Jake Tapper and the late, lamented Chris Cuomo, liberalism today is characterized by a low regard for the intelligence of average Americans and a very high regard for the elastic nature of language.Essentially, words are expected to mean whatever Democrats and their media enablers want them to mean. ” – Frank Miele

NBC News Uses Ex-FBI Official Frank Figliuzzi to Urge Assange’s Extradition, Hiding His Key Role – “Two of the television outlets on which American liberals rely most for their news — NBC News and CNN — have spent the last six years hiring a virtual army of former CIA operatives, FBI officials, NSA spies, Pentagon chiefs, and DOJ prosecutors to work in their newsrooms. The multiple ways in which journalism is fundamentally corrupted by this spectacle are all vividly illustrated by a new article from NBC News that urges the prosecution and extradition of Julian Assange,” – Glenn Greenwald

Biden Goes After the 4 Top Meatpackers, Blaming Them for Inflation – “Biden needs another scapegoat for rising inflation. He found one.” – Mish

Joe Biden declares war on ‘Big Meat’ – “Following in the footsteps of Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden has declared war on meat. Democrats have this thing against meat, see, and it manifests itself in multiple ways. So Big Meat’s the bad guy in this inflation crisis, and Joe’s here to solve the problem, calling it a matter of antitrust enforcement. Never mind that the entire economy is shot through with inflation running out of control. No, the problem here is Big Meat oligarchs conspiring to raise prices. It’s a tired old been-there-done-that tactic. It’s redolent of the FTC investigations that the Bidenites have thrown out there against Big Oil and Big Retail, based on their price spikes, as victims of the same inflation meat companies are experiencing. How are those investigations going? ” – Monica Showalter – DOES THIS IDIOT EVER ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. HE’S EVENTUALLY GOING TO RUN OUT OF PEOPLE AND THINGS TO BLAME!!!!!

The Tide Is Turning in Freedom’s Favor – “Biden promised us a return to normalcy. If this is normal, give us more of those mean tweets. Afghans fall from airplanes as our grocery bills rise. China and Russian are shaking us down for lunch money. Kids come home from their garbage public schools crying because their unionized teacher told them they were privileged. College grads are frustrated that * failed to keep his promise about making the rest of us pay for their Oppression Studies degrees. Everything on Netflix is woke crap. Men are taking women’s swim records and the chick Jeopardy championship. Did he fail to beat COVID as promised? Yeah. Is the media trying to convince you that he never said he would beat COVID? Yeah. Is it going to work? Nah.” – Kurt Schlichter

One more awkward hypocrisy emerges about incident where a police-defunding and ‘bail reform’ advocate Illinois state senator was carjacked – “A powerful Illinois state senator called her husband a “hero” for defending her with a concealed carry firearm during a carjacking. Too bad for her that she voted against allowing private citizens to carry them. Senator Lightford and her husband were carjacked on the evening of December 21 last year. At the time, many conservatives noted that she was an advocate not only of defunding the police, but also of “bail reform”” – Thomas Lifson

Biden tells Ukrainian president what US will do if Russia invades – “Following talks, Zelensky says he feels US-Ukraine relations are ‘special’. US President Joe Biden has assured his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, that Washington and its allies will “respond decisively” in the event that Moscow invades its neighbor. ” – RT

Russia Is Not the Great Rival; China Is – “While all facts are true, not all facts are relevant. And what are the relevant facts in this crisis where 100,000 Russian troops are now stationed along the Ukrainian border? Fact one: There is not now and never has been a vital U.S. interest in Ukraine to justify risking a war with Russia. History tells us that.” – Patrick J. Buchanan

Race-Based COVID-19 Treatment Violates Federal Law – “And the Biden DOJ is silent” – Techno Fog

Supreme Court to Hold Special Session on Legal Challenges to Biden Vaccine Mandates – “Any emergency stay issued by the Supreme Court would not constitute a final ruling but would freeze enforcement of COVID vaccine mandates for businesses and healthcare workers until legal challenges make their way through the federal appeals courts.” – Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

New Poll Finds Many Democrats Don’t Support Calls for Gun Control – ” It found that eight in ten U.S. voters believe that strict gun control laws in major cities either make no difference in the current surge in retail crime or could even make it worse. A total of 47.1 percent of respondents from all political affiliations said that strict gun laws in major cities would make no difference, while 37.3 percent even said that gun control could worsen the problem. Just 15.6 percent of American voters said they believed gun laws could address the retail crime surge, including “flash mob-style” crime grabs.” – Peter Suciu

Finland Says It Reserves the Right to Join Anti-Russian Alliance – “As is Russia’s right to react in ways Helsinki won’t find pleasant.Has Finland such a right? I would say that it does. But I think that official Helsinki needs to think through the full implications of what it is saying. ” – Marko Marjanović

Hollow US No Use of Nukes Pledge – “On January 3, hegemon USA, subservient UK and France vassal states, Russia and China pledged no use of nukes in warfare. Fact: Hegemon USA operates extrajudicially by its so-called “rules-based order” — in flagrant breach of international and its own constitutional law. Fact: From inception, US history has been pockmarked by breached treaties and other agreements. Fact: US regimes long ago proved that their word is never their bond. Fact: Time and again with disturbing regularity, they pledged one thing, then went another way. Fact: They can never be trusted.” – Stephen Lendman

UK Government Greases Skids For Fleets of Surveillance Drones Over Cities – “By launching cynical PR stunt asserting it’s about protecting women.” – Paul Joseph Watson  – CAMERAS EVERYWHERE, SOON TO BE DRONES WATCHING YOU.

Are You a Survivalist or Prepper? (Or Both!) – “Much of what people think about survivalists or preppers is due to television shows, movies, and the media. Unfortunately, a lot of those descriptions and characterizations are either developed by people who have no actual knowledge of either discipline, or worse – they distort the ideas to get better ratings or more page clicks. While everybody’s idea of the differences between preppers and survivalists will differ, I think I’ll give you a fairly fair shake here.” – Graywolf

Viewed from Earth orbit, 2022 is Year 14 of extend and pretend and too big to fail, too big to jail and Year 2 of global supply chains break and energy shortages.

Crimes against Our Country – “The year of sickening global psychosis ended with virologist and vaccine-uberspecialist Dr. Robert Malone truth-bombing the Internet with three hours of straight talk about the US health authorities’ campaign to destroy the lives of at least half a million US citizens (so far) By health authorities I don’t just mean Dr. Anthony Fauci, We know what you did. You engineered and patented a gain-of-function virus at the same time you conspired with pharma companies to devise and patent pseudo-vaccines, and then you loosed both of them on the public. You didn’t just fail to adequately test the “vaccines” cooked up by Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson, but you deliberately botched the trails and lied about it. You created rich $$ incentives for hospitals to mis-treat Covid patients by failing to use known, safe, effective anti-virals. You conspired with social and news media to suppress information about those common anti-viral drugs that would have informed many patient’s decisions and saved thousands of lives.” – James Howard Kunstler  – A MUST READ FROM MR. KUNSTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

WATCH: Fauci Caught Lying AGAIN, Claims Non-mRNA Vaccines Like “Covaxin” Have Not Been Approved In the US Because “They Have Not Applied” – Turns Out, They HAVE – “We have enough vaccines, the best vaccines available, in the United States. I’m puzzled by that question. We have more vaccines than we need right now. We just need the people to get vaccinated with the vaccines that we have. The mRNA vaccines are desired by everyone else in the world. So we have what we need; we need to use it.“ – Julian Conradson  – BASICALLY HE’S ADMITTING HE DOESN’T WANT TO USE A REGULAR VACCINE, JUST THE EXPERIMENTAL mRNA ONES!!!!!

It is not about Corona anymore – “Restrictions continue in Germany independent of all metrics, despite falling hospitalisations.” – eugyppius  – WAS IT EVER, REALLY!!!!!!

Hospitalisations by COVID-19 vaccination status. (Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust: 06-Sep-20 to 12-Dec-21) – “Main points: The rise in weekly admissions is concomitant with the rise in vaccinations and only abates when adult vaccinations also abate. The weekly variation in admissions for all ages, 18+ years, is more strongly correlated with patients vaccinated prior to admission than unvaccinated patients, both before and after the midpoint of vaccination rates.” – Joel Smalley  -ANOTHER STUDY SHOWING THAT IT’S A PANDEMIC OF THE VACCINATED!!!!!

COVID scam falls apart; it’s over – “Here’s Walensky’s money quote: “…people can remain PCR positive for up to 12 weeks after infection and long after they are transmissible and infectious.” That means MILLIONS of FALSE positive test results have been logged as REAL, in the past two years. If you can’t trace the implications of THAT, I can’t help you.” – Jon Rappoport

Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64 – “Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica. 40% is just unheard of. Most of the claims for deaths being filed are not classified as COVID-19 deaths, Davison said.” – Margaret Menge  – LET’S SEE. NOT COVID DEATHS THEN WHAT TYPE OF DEATHS ARE THEY. HE SAYS THE PAST 2 QUARTERS SO WHAT CHANGED FOR THE WORKING AGED PEOPLE. WELL, THEY WENT BACK TO WORK AND MANY HAD TO GET VACCINATED TO DO SO BECAUSE OF JOBS OR STATE MANDATES!!!!!!!!!

People are dying, but not the ones you think for the reasons you think – “In other words, more Americans are dying since the vaccine than ever before. That last paragraph may be the beginning of a huge upcoming bolus of evidence showing that the anti-jabbers were right all along: the injection that rejoices under the misnomer of a “vaccination” is, instead, a life-taker, not a life-saver.” – Andrea Widburg – MORE ON THE ABOVE.

How Much Longer will the World Continue to Look to Medical Doctors to Save Them? – “The COVID-19 Plandemic did not corrupt the medical system. The corrupt medical system gave us the COVID-19 scam.

Healing people is a terrible business model, as you eliminate your repeat customers.” – Brian Shilhavy

Fear porn, testing hysteria, and tyranny – “According to the mainstream media, print and digital, COVID is surging, omicron is deadly, and everyone with a scratchy throat runs to a testing center to see if he is “infected.” It’s madness on a grand scale. Most of them are not infected, but these thousands of hypochondriacs are waiting hours in line for a test that, even if negative, may be positive the next day. The clamor for more tests is ridiculous.” – Patricia McCarthy

CNN Story Perfectly Captures The Mass Covid Neuroticism Of 2021 – “”Chicago woman quarantined in airplane bathroom for 3 hours after testing positive for Covid-19 mid-flight” – the CNN headline reads. The start of the story perfectly encapsulates the kind of neurosis and failed precautions and anxiety-inducing “health rituals” which have taken hold over vast segments of the population. The woman took no less than seven Covid tests just before the flight: Before the flight, Fotieo told CNN she took two PCR tests and about five rapid tests, all of which came back negative. But about an hour and a half into the flight, Fotieo started to feel a sore throat. And here’s the kicker: the woman who gave herself seven Covid tests but learned on the 8th that she had the virus was fully vaccinated and had received the booster. But CNN still reminds the reader that it’s the “unvaccinated population” that we have to worry about here:” – Tyler Durden  – NO WONDER PEOPLE CAN’T GET THE TESTS, SOUNDS LIKE THIS LADY BUYS THEM BY THE CASE FULL!!!!!!

A huge preponderance of all societies cannot negate these questions, for there can be no certain answer or honesty from obedient and irresponsible fools. Ignorance is no excuse, cowardice is shameful, and indifference is immoral. Mankind has sunk to his lowest level, but compliant commoners fear not.

This YEAR in the New Normal – “This week we review what OffG will be on the lookout for in 2022.” – Off Guardian  – ON COVID AND THE “BIGGER PICTURE”!!!!!

So did Gallup scrap its annual ‘most admired’ poll because Trump kept winning it? – “Was it sheer spite or marching orders from Team Obama or Team Biden, anxious to ensure that the public didn’t get wind of Trump’s popularity? It would make sense, given the “Let’s Go, Brandon!” mood of the country. Biden and his incompetent sidekick both sport public approval ratings in the high 20s” – Monica Showalter

IRS: Stealing Is Okay If You Pay Taxes Guilty until proven innocent, so don’t forget to declare your loot to the IRS. Most funny memes are jokes or exaggerations, but one currently making the rounds on social media would typically fall into the category of an obvious fake – except that it is true. In it, the IRS all but presents itself as a partner in crime.” – Caroline Adana

Republican Congresswoman Says Trump Should Never Be Allowed to Run For President Again – “Over alleged role in January 6 raid.” – Paul Joseph Watson

2021 Chicago’s deadliest year in quarter century – “The city of Chicago is kind of the poster child for violent urban environments. It’s not the most violent, necessarily, but it’s right up there with some of the worst. It’s also very visible in a very anti-gun environment. After all, while Chicago doesn’t have much gun control to speak of specific to the city itself, the state of Illinois has all the anti-Second Amendment laws we’re told are absolutely essential in controlling violent crime. In fact, they’ve worked so well in the Windy City that 2021 has gone down as the deadliest year in a while.” – Tom Knighton

Beware 2022: Technocracy’s War Against Humanity Set To Continue (VIDEO) – “It’s important to see the principle of Ordo ab Chao at work. This occult latin term translates as “Order out of Chaos” and hints at modern globalization’s theory of “never let a good crisis go to waste.” Under the cover of chaos, Technocracy thrived during 2020-2021 at spreading its net of control and social engineering. Without chaos, virtually none of Technocracy’s initiatives would have ever gotten off the ground. The point is this: Technocracy thrives on order, structure and predictability but uses chaos to get there.” – Patrick Wood – GOOD ARTICLE FROM PATRICK WITH A VIDEO WITH MATTIAS DESMET AND CHRIS MARTENSON!!!!

The “existential abyss” is key to understanding the crisis we face – “The technocrats created a false idol that failed and now they are lashing out. The technocrats created a Golden Calf to worship — a belief in the infallibility of science, vaccines as the new Eucharist, and an entire economic and social system to serve these high priests and this vision of the world. If the technocrats’ false idol was working, there would be no need for them to worry. But it’s not. Everywhere they look their false idol is in ruins.” – Toby Rogers   – GOOD ONE FROM TOBY, AS WELL!!!!!!!!!

The differences in censorship methods used in US today vs. China – “Many of you have wondered about the differences. Here’s your answer.” – Steve Kirsch

Those Who Support Internet Censorship Lack Psychological Maturity – “In reality nobody ever gets banned for “Covid misinformation”; that’s just today’s excuse. Before that it was the fallout from the Capitol riot, before that it was election security, before that it was Russian disinformation, foreign influence ops, fake news, etc. In reality the real agenda behind the normalization of internet censorship is the normalization of internet censorship itself. That’s the real reason so many people get banned.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Two years on, the Soleimani Spirit gathers clout – “The Americans may have assassinated Soleimani, but the illegal aggression has not thwarted the Quds Force general’s plans for West Asia one bit, and may have even accelerated them.” – Pepe Escobar

Biden’s “Diplomacy Is Back” Falls Flat as 2021 Middle East Policy a Miserable Flop – “By no means has voting blue meant a change for the better; in fact, the only real difference between Biden and Trump in terms of foreign policy is that instead of mean tweets, more respectful language is used to give the new president the veneer of respectability.” – Robert Inlakesh

The Imbecile King who put his foot on the gas pedal – “Little by little, a nation chips away at the very values and institutions that made them powerful to begin with. This story is as old as human civilization. And while the exact circumstances today are different, the themes are very similar.” – Simon Black

New York is Using Race to Determine Access to a Limited Supply of Life-Saving COVID Treatments – “Then there is an additional requirement that makes intuitive sense: the COVID patient must “have a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness.” It makes sense that the government would seek to prioritize those who are at higher risk for developing severe illness. But the policy then states that anyone who is non-white — regardless of age, health or underlying medical conditions — is automatically deemed to have met the requirement that one must have “a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness” in order to receive this treatment (“Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor.”).” – Glenn Greenwald – SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT “WHITE PRIVILEGE” “BS”. I THINK IT’S ALWAYS BEEN “NON-WHITE PRIVILEGE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Afghanistan: a tragedy made in the West – “The era of liberal interventionism drew to a catastrophic close this year.” – Tim Black

Ukrainian Official Debunks Phony Claim About Russian Forces Massed Near Border – “Based on Biden regime talking points, a fake news drumbeat pushes the Big Lie claim about Russian forces massed near Ukraine’s border with likely intent to invade in the new year. Russian forces are based in their own territory. The closest ones to Ukraine are hundreds of kilometers away — posing no threat to the country or any others. What US/Western dark forces and their MSM press agents know, they conceal. On all things Russia and other nations free from US control, propaganda is featured exclusively over truth and full disclosure. Not a shred of evidence suggests that Moscow intends to invade any country.” – Stephen Lendman

The Next War: A Look Ahead at Hypersonic Missiles, A.I., Space Combat, and Bio-Weapons – John Hayward

2022 A challenging year – “Where is a secretary of state capable of reassuring the Kremlin and easing Washington out of its commitment to American hegemony? He is nowhere to be found. The situation is extremely serious, because Russia is facing an aggressor whose leaders are disconnected from reality. Biden, who is only there part of the time, has advisors from the Russian-hating neoconservatives at the Center for New American Security funded by the US military/security complex and oil companies. The state department official who oversaw the overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine is now the Undersecretary of State. The warmongers responsible for Clinton’s bombing of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and for all of Washington’s illegal wars in the 21st century are ensconced in the Biden regime. US Senators from both parties are demanding that Biden stand up to Putin.” – Paul Craig Roberts

US Shows the Exit Ramp to Russia – “Getting off your high horse is never easy and it remains to be seen how deftly Moscow navigates its path in the downstream of President Vladimir Putin’s 50-minute phone conversation Thursday with his American counterpart Joe Biden.” – Melkulangara Bhadrakumar

Bizarre neurological illness plagues young Canadians – “Otherwise healthy young adults in New Brunswick are falling ill with crippling symptoms. While the official number of cases recorded since the mystery illness was first publicly acknowledged in early spring has not budged upward from 48, multiple sources told The Guardian that as many as 150 people may have contracted the fast-moving illness. Still more young people require assessment, and several have died.” – RT

50 Things That Americans Should Be Stockpiling For The Chaotic Year Ahead – Michael Snyder

Different Types of Weapons/Tools to Have on Hand as a Prepper – “No matter what type of job you must position you in, you will always have work to complete. To complete this work, you must have tools. Each job will require different tools. This is the same when you are preparing for a disaster or working to survive.” – Bob Rodgers

What I See for 2022: Interest Rates, Mortgage Rates, Real Estate, Stocks & Other Assets as Central Banks Face Raging Inflation – “An extra-special cocktail of three powerful ingredients with no cherry on top awaits us in 2022.” – Wolf Richter

American Exceptionalism: Not Looking Too Exceptional for 2022 – “Based on such domino effects, the Fed now finds itself in a pickle. If it tapers, rates rise and asset bubbles tank, which is bad for the markets which the Fed so loyally serves. However, if the Fed doesn’t taper, inflation continues its steady rise, which is bad for everyone else. Given such options, the choice for the always self-serving, public-ignoring and market-supporting Fed would seem to be against a taper, no? So, why is Powell forward-guiding a taper into 2022?” – Matthew Piepenburg

The Last Great Inflation – “Much of what caused the inflation of the 1970s is repeating” – Milton Ezrati

There’s a News Blackout on the Fed’s Naming of the Banks that Got Its Emergency Repo Loans; Some Journalists Appear to Be Under Gag Orders – “Four days ago, the Federal Reserve released the names of the banks that had received $4.5 trillion in cumulative loans in the last quarter of 2019 under its emergency repo loan operations for a liquidity crisis that has yet to be credibly explained. Among the largest borrowers were JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, three of the Wall Street banks that were at the center of the subprime and derivatives crisis in 2008 that brought down the U.S. economy.” – Pam Martens and Russ Martens

Everybody Is Certain Gold & Silver Are Set For Imminent Launch To Start 2022 – “A funny thing happens when everybody is so sure of something… On the surface, for myriad reasons, gold & silver should be skyrocketing in price right now. Off the top of my head, to offer just a tiny number of reasons, here’s what the so-called “experts” are saying:” – Paul “Half Dollar” Eberhart

The Collins and Fauci Attack on Traditional Public Health – “On Oct. 4, 2020, with Prof. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University, we wrote the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD). Our purpose was to express our grave concerns over the inadequate protection of the vulnerable and the devastating harms of the lockdown pandemic policy adopted by much of the world; We proposed an alternative strategy of focused protection. Unbeknownst to us, our call for a more focused pandemic strategy posed a political problem for Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Ignoring the call for focused protection of the vulnerable, Collins and Fauci purposely mischaracterized the GBDl as a “let-it-rip” “herd immunity strategy,” even though focused protection is the very opposite of a let-it-rip strategy.” – Jayanta Bhattacharya and Martin Kulldorff  -VERY IFNORMATIVE ARTICLE ON THE REASON FOR THE GBD AND FAUCI’S OPPOSITION TO IT!!!!!!

Not vaccinating kids ‘doesn’t make any sense’ – Fauci – “Parents have a ‘responsibility’ to inoculate their children against Covid-19, the health official said” – RT  – NO, DR FAUCI, PARENTS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROTECTING AND INOCULATING. IT DOES NOT MEAN THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vaccine evasion and an OAS signal in Ontario – A look at some data that a lot of people seem to be misinterpreting. This is the key chart. (generated from the Ontario gov’t website) and it shows something incredibly interesting. it shows vaccines working to stop cases until mid december and then suddenly inverting. this is presumably due to omicron. This is consistent with not just vaccine escape, but vaccine driven acceleration. – El Gato Malo

Interesting Shift – Australian Government Now Casually Saying They Will Pay for Adverse Reactions to Vaccine in Booster Phase, Media Calls 79,000 “The Rare Few” – “For scale, the entire population of Australia is essentially the same as the state of Florida. Imagine if Governor Ron DeSantis mandated the jab, and told all Floridians 80,000 of you will likely suffer severe adverse reactions, but it’s in your best interest… oh, and you don’t have a choice. Wait… wha, huh?” – Sundance

Dispatches from the New Normal Front: The Ministry of Truth’s War on “Misinformation” – “When 2 + 2 = 4 Is Verboten” – Margaret Anna Alice

When Fake News Drowns Out Truth-Telling, Free and Open Societies No Longer Exist – “Throughout the US/West, people who rely on MSM for news and views are brainwashed to know only what the fabricated official narrative explains. They’re profoundly ignorant about what’s vital for everyone to know about protecting their health and fundamental rights. State-approved fake news over the real thing is perilously close to becoming the law of the land in the US/West ahead. Perhaps it’s coming in the new year to more greatly harden tyranny than already. Looking ahead in the new year, what little remains of a nation safe and fit to live in may be gone before holiday season 2022 arrives without mass rebellion to halt and kill the diabolical scheme before it kills us.” – Stephen Lendman

We’ll Either Rise As A Collective Or Perish As Individuals – Caitlin Johnstone  – MORE OBSERVATIONS FROM CAITLIN!!!!

Did banned mRNA vax inventor Robert W. Malone M.D. just break the Google algorithm? – “Did the Twitter punks who banned mRNA vaccine inventor and bona fide vaccine expert Robert W. Malone, M.D. just set off the Mother of all Backfires? Kind of looks like it, now that they’ve drawn so much public interest to the man that they’ve apparently broken the Google algorithm for censoring stories about him.” – Monica Showalter

Google and DuckDuckGo Handle Dr. Robert Malone’s Claims About “Mass Formation Psychosis” Very Differently – ““Mass formation psychosis.” No, it doesn’t refer to a screwed-up flock of geese flying south for the winter. There have been many commentaries about mass formation psychosis that have hit major conservative news outlets today. But instead of linking to the video of Dr. Malone, any of the stories that dive into the phenomenon, or even reaction videos that expand on the concept, Google decided to promote some random dude’s minute-and-a-half video “debunking” it when people search them for “mass formation psychosis.”” – J.D. Rucker  – WELL GOOGLE HAS TO INFLUENCE THE NARRATIVE. THE THOUGHT POLICE AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss – “Three things are certain in life: Death, taxes, and Democrats governing like far-left, dictatorial loons. Case in point? New York City got the first taste of its new boss today, and not shockingly at all, he’s pretty much the same as the old boss. After being sworn in shortly after midnight, Eric Adams opened up his term by signing two executive orders and taking to social media to brag about them. The first granted himself emergency powers to essentially do whatever he wants. The other re-upped the beleaguered city’s vaccine passport system.” – Bonchie

2022: The Year of Breakdown – “In other words, our economy and society have been optimized for failure. If we look at the fragility and instability of essential systems, it’s clear that 2022 will be the year of breakdown. Let’s start by reviewing how systems break down” – Charles Hugh Smith

Swamponomics: Economy Still Short Millions Of Pre-Pandemic Jobs – “President Joe Biden has celebrated his jobs record in 2021, declaring that the United States is “back to work.” Some Democrats claimed that he had created more jobs in seven months than any of his predecessors in history. In 2021, it was the highest of highs and lowest of lows on the labor front, with the best report coming in July (1.091 million jobs) and the worst happening in November (210,000 jobs). But the president has failed to add any net new jobs over the last year, compared to before the crisis. Since arriving at the Oval Office, President Biden has witnessed a 6.1 million bump in payrolls. Still, it is estimated that the labor market is short about three to five million positions.” – Andrew Moran

The War on Cash & the Dollar – Martin Armstrong

Handicapping the 2022 Market Casino – “And yes, at this point it’s hard to call markets anything other than a casino or a video game that has detached itself from fundamental reality. For now anyway for I firmly believe reality will make its presence felt again. But for now: The S&P 500 finished 2021 with its third consecutive year of double digit gains closing at 4766 again making mockery of any type of fundamental analysis and again putting to shame any price forecasts issued at the beginning of the year:” – Sven Henrich

Galatians 5:9      A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

You’re just an animal in the zoo
Sittin’ round feeling persecuted and abused
You’re locked up and I’m on the loose
But I can’t quite tell who’s looking at who
‘Cause I’m an animal, too
But you’re locked up in a zoo
And you look at me and I look at you

God made the heaven and the deep blue sea
But man picked the flowers and he pulled up the trees
God made the moon and the rain and the sun
But man made the money and the bombs and the guns
So we’re all animals, too
But you’re locked up in a zoo
And you look at me and I look at you

I’m a prisoner but I got no cage
I’m locked up but I got no chain
But the good guys lose and the bad guys win
That’s why you’re looking out and I’m looking in
But we’re all animals, too
But you’re locked up in a zoo
‘Cause you look at me and I look at you

( Animals In The Zoo by Ray Davies of the Kinks )
