										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings from Tyler,</p>
<p>The war in Ukraine looks like it might go on for a long time.  If you listen to some, you might think it’s the United States who’s at war.  It seems that the deciders are sending all kinds of expensive military systems into the fray, so much so that some of our stocks are being depleted.  But $40 billion?  Much of it going to a nation famous for being a corrupt no-man’s-land where vast facilities could be built and operated at our expense without our knowledge, money disappeared apparently without a trace.  Maybe there is a trace, but that’s classified and better never see the light of day.</p>
<p>Finland and Sweden want to join NATO, and who wouldn’t?  Supposedly that brings them under umbrella protection in case of an invasion.  Trump made the European partners pay what they’d agreed to, which was treated as some kind of scandal.  Now that the adults are back in charge, they’ve stopped paying.  Russia has been supplying the energy to Finland’s grid, and that’s being cut off.  No problem, Finland says.  They can replace it with energy from Sweden.  We’ll see.   This whole thing may boil down to energy.</p>
<p>Strange humans are clogging the neighborhood streets in front of Supreme Court Justices’ homes chanting, “My body, my choice.”  Those who insisted that we were morons for refusing the shot or the follow up “boosters” have the audacity to repeat that phrase?  How is it that these rejects were the same ones who tried to enforce the Corona mandates.  If the subject applied to their body alone, they’d be right.  But we’re expected to engage in this pretense that there’s only one person involved.  They’ve run afoul of their own rhetoric.</p>
<p>It’s a real crime to try to intimidate a judge, and a serious one.  The thought that a department of law enforcement should behave politically while allowing such an abuse to take place is shocking.  Notice, the cameramen covering the incident never show the faces of these loony tunes.  You see a crowd from behind, or a shot at their shoes walking.  I’m guessing there’s a reason for that.  Where are the paddy-wagons?   They’re not coming?  Since when is it OK to attempt to intimidate a judge?  But according to the redhead, it’s a routine demonstration.  Nonviolent, and a longstanding tradition in the United States.  No big deal.</p>
<p>The leaker of the draft opinion still hasn’t been found.  It’s probably someone who works for a justice who doesn’t agree with the opinion, but we suspect they’re not looking very hard.  Whoever it is will go down in history, but not just yet.  The wild-eyed proponents of the hideous procedure will laud the leaker as a great hero.  They already do.</p>
<p>The news of the Supreme Court’s likely decision has literally driven the proponents of nonsense crazy.  They demand we cave to government advice, but go bonkers about their body their choice.    But Dr. Fauci knows best, and you better do what he says.  You think you have a choice?  Those news anchors will set you straight!  You know the ones.  You deserve every name in the book if you think you can flaunt what the “scientists” have determined.  Don’t you realize you’re endangering the health of everybody around you? (sarc)</p>
<p>Lately there’s been news of all kinds of famous individuals coming down with the dreaded malady.  They’re vaccinated, boosted, and they care more than you.  But they’re sick.  They’re also quick to explain how much worse it would be if they hadn’t submitted to the demands of the “authorities.”  It’s enough to make you wonder if…  No, better not.</p>
<p>Nothing makes sense anymore.  The voices assaulting the masses no longer feel the need to win anybody over with logic.   They love to display their fury, confident that we’ll see their insanity as justified by the righteousness of their cause.  Surely we’ll agree that their lunacy is well founded.  It’s not working.</p>
<p>The news is coming from all directions, there’s a shortage of baby formula at stores, but plenty at the border.  Stockpiles.  The priorities seem pretty clear, if they didn’t already.</p>
<p>Is it true that the U. S. under current leadership and all the nations of the Western world are poised to hand “health” authority over to a UN health organization?  You notice, the information wars are hot.  There’s talk of “disinformation” and how it has to be stamped out.  The UK and the European Union are working hard to control information.  Elon is trying to close the twitter deal, but it may not come in time.  The Western nations have tricks up their sleeves to make sure that unapproved opinions don’t enter the discourse. The U. S. has been busy lining up international support for an all powerful international organization that can demand quarantines, lock-downs and all manner of demands on the population, all in the name of keeping people “safe.” Supposedly the current national powers in our country are pushing for it.  Let’s hope it doesn’t succeed.  It sounds like something predicted for the end times.</p>
<p>Mark</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Biden is scheduled to travel to Europe next week for a NATO summit about the war in Ukraine, the White House says.</p>
<p>FAST FACTS<br />
&#8212;Residents of Mariupol, Ukraine, have reportedly contacted a human rights organization with complaints that Russian forces have occupied an intensive care hospital.</p>
<p>&#8212;Three European leaders are expected to travel to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Tuesday before a 35-hour curfew for civilians takes effect as Russian forces advance and the city is under sustained shelling.</p>
<p>&#8212;The United Nations says nearly 3 million people have fled Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion.</p>
<p>Russia&#8217;s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that sanctions it&#8217;s imposing on President Biden and other top U.S. officials are &#8220;the inevitable consequence of the extremely Russophobic course taken by the current U.S. Administration.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In response to a series of unprecedented sanctions prohibiting, among other things, entry into the United States for top officials of the Russian Federation&#8230; the Russian &#8216;stop list&#8217; includes on the basis of reciprocity President Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, Secretary of Defense Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley, as well as a number of departmental heads and well-known American figures,&#8221; it said in a statement.</p>
<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton are also among those Russia says it is sanctioning.</p>
<p>&#8220;This step, taken as a counter reaction, was the inevitable consequence of the extremely Russophobic course taken by the current U.S. Administration, which, in a desperate attempt to maintain American hegemony, has staked, discarding all decency, on the frontal containment of Russia,&#8221; it added.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don’t fall for it.</p>
<p>Inflation hit a 40-year high in February, with the Consumer Price Index rising nearly 8 percent over last year. The White House reacted by pointing out that “Americans’ budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of Putin’s price hike.”</p>
<p>Setting aside the fact that only a fraction of February’s inflation report captures the February 24 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the administration’s attempt to blame a foreign dictator for its own year-long mismanagement of the American economy is both cynical and easily debunkable.</p>
<p>Let’s start with oil.</p>
<p>Jen Psaki sent out an explainer on why gas prices are rising. “You may have noticed this week that your gas prices have gone up,” the White House press secretary said before blaming Putin, noting that the “only way to protect the U.S. over the long term is to become energy independent.”</p>
<p>In what way has Biden moved to make us energy independent? The administration approached OPEC+ last summer, long before Putin’s invasion, and asked the cartel to increase production. The administration argued at the time that affordable energy — which it had worked to undermine domestically — was imperative for economic growth.</p>
<p>And yet&#8230;</p>
<p>On September 4, 2019, when Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden promised at a CNN “Climate Crisis” town hall that he would end all new drilling on federal lands, the national average for a gallon of gas was $2.59. On April 27, 2020, it was down to $1.77. On Inauguration Day 2021, the price was $2.37. It was at $2.39 the day Biden signed an executive order pausing all new government leases on public lands, where nearly a quarter of oil production takes place. Gas was at $3.00 when Biden lifted Trump-era sanctions against Putin’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline. It was $3.00 on the day Biden officially killed the Keystone pipeline in June 2021. It was at $3.09 when the Interior Department stopped pursuing drilling in the Gulf of Mexico over concocted “social cost of carbon” externalities. It was at $3.50 the week that oil-rich Gulf leaders refused to take Biden’s calls because his administration was forging a deal (with the help of Russia) to empower their enemies in Iran. It was at $3.60 the day Putin invaded Ukraine and at $4.10 the day Biden sent envoys to Venezuela to ask for oil.</p>
<p>There is, of course, the depressing possibility that when Psaki calls for “energy independence” she means turning to inefficient solar and wind — currently only a sliver of our energy portfolio — and retrofitting the entire American infrastructure to accommodate them, along with replacing 290 million cars on the nation’s roads with pricey, impractical electric models. If so, that would mean the administration is alarmingly unserious or dangerously delusional.</p>
<p>And if the Russian dictator is at fault for soaring prices, why did Democrats tell us last year that inflation was merely “transitory”? Did we have Putin-flation on July 19, 2021, when Biden was falsely claiming that “nobody” was “suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way — no serious economist”? After throwing nearly $2 trillion into an overheated economy, on top of the $3 trillion bipartisan COVID-relief bill that came before it, Biden was downplaying inflation fears for partisan reasons, working to ram through the Democrats’ $5 trillion policy goody bag (which would have also increased demand and added $3 trillion to the deficit).</p>
<p>Then again, blaming the invasion of Ukraine for inflation is almost, though not quite, as transparently stupid as arguing that Build Back Better “costs zero dollars.”</p>
<p>When it comes to inflation or the price of commodities, there is only so much a president can do. Of course Biden will still take credit for every morsel of positive economic news, like the return of jobs in states decimated by government-imposed COVID lockdowns, that he has absolutely nothing to do with. But the president has done nothing that would help the economy weather a future shock and nothing to expand “energy independence.” His administration has exacerbated inflationary pressures and suppressed domestic energy production — nearly every climate plan Democrats have proposed intends to artificially create scarcity to disincentivize the use of fossil fuels. Right now, Biden is reduced to flailing (and failing) attempts to get either erstwhile allies or our enemies to send us more oil.</p>
<p>Putin’s nefarious aggression against Ukraine will impose heavy costs on the world, no doubt. But Biden should not get a pass for his amateurish mismanagement of the economy and foreign affairs.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WH Dep Press Scty: Americans Must Follow CDC Orders ‘Because The Experts Say So.’</p>
<p>Has literally no idea when asked how CDC is testing for the so called Delta variant</p>
<p>With the CDC announcing a mask mandate reversal and the endless doom mongering over the dreaded Delta variant, Americans have a lot of questions, yet the answer to all of them seems to simply be ‘do as you’re told because we say so’.</p>
<p>This was in evidence again on Friday when after the announcement that even vaccinated people can still get and transmit the Delta variant, Newsmax reporter Emerald Robinson asked the White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre what exactly the CDC is doing to test for this.</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre had no idea and didn’t even bother to suggest she would try to find out.</p>
<p>The Biden Administration is unable to provide any proof that Delta variant is real and White House Deputy Press Secretary @KJP46 just admitted in a press briefing that she has no idea if there’s even a test for it! — Emerald Robinson <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/271d.png" alt="✝" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> (@EmeraldRobinson) July 30, 2021</p>
<p>She claimed she didn’t even know why anyone would ask how the CDC tests for the Delta variant or why they would bother to explain the process.</p>
<p>Robinson pointed out that the only answers Americans are being given is “because they say so,” to which the Deputy Press Secretary answered “because they are the experts.”</p>
<p>Amy Tarkanian@MrsT106.<br />
@EmeraldRobinson asked @KJP46 how the CDC is testing for the Delta variant and she completely falls apart and says it’s because “the experts” say so.</p>
<p>As we noted last week, Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s answer to the question “If vaccines work, then why do people who have the vaccine now need to wear masks?” was essentially ‘because we say so’.</p>
<p>After admitting that he is seeking to determine whether he can mandate vaccines for all Americans, Joe Biden lost it with reporter Peter Doocy, who again dared to ask for an explanation on the flip-flop on masks.</p>
<p>Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, are literally repeating the stock phrase ‘it’s science’ over and over without explaining any of the methods behind it, because they literally have no idea what it is.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Friday that President Joe Biden&#8217;s vaccine mandates will &#8220;plunge people into destitution.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Republican governor vowed at a news conference to continue fighting any federal requirements for workers to get inoculated against the coronavirus, saying he believes individual employees should be &#8220;protected.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Just think of Biden. He says, &#8216;Don&#8217;t make the vaccines divisive.&#8217; Don&#8217;t make the vaccines divisive? You are trying to take people&#8217;s jobs away over this issue,&#8221; the governor said. &#8220;You are trying to plunge people into destitution. You are taking away their livelihoods. No one else is doing that. You are the one being divisive about this.&#8221;</p>
<p>DeSantis has said he will sue the Biden administration if it enacts a proposal to mandate private businesses to require workers to get vaccinated or undergo weekly coronavirus testing. The mandate would apply to private sector businesses with 100 employees or more.</p>
<p>Biden announced his plan in September but left its implementation up to Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The administration submitted its proposal to the Office of Management and Budget earlier this week.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every day, we see more businesses implementing vaccination requirements, and the mounting data shows that they work,&#8221; Biden said in a Thursday speech. &#8220;Businesses and organizations that are implementing requirements are seeing their vaccination rates rise by an average of 20 percent or more to well over 90 percent. Let&#8217;s be clear: Vaccination requirements should not be another issue that divides us.&#8221;</p>
<p>The White House has already required all federal workers and contractors to get vaccinated, prompting several major airlines—including American, Southwest and United—to implement such requirements for their staff.</p>
<p>The administration said earlier this week it believes any mandate will withstand legal challenges following Texas Governor Greg Abbott&#8217;s decision to sign an executive order banning vaccine mandates in the Lone Star State.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, press secretary Jen Psaki criticized DeSantis and Abbott for their opposition, saying their position is &#8220;out of step&#8221; with other leaders and only about &#8220;politics.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Every leader should be focused on supporting efforts to save lives,&#8221; she told reporters.</p>
<p>Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment on DeSantis&#8217; remarks but didn&#8217;t receive a response before publication.</p>
<p>DeSantis has been consistently pushing back against COVID-19 requirements during the pandemic, including school mask mandates or vaccine requirements for consumers and businesses.</p>
<p>Ahead of the academic year, DeSantis signed an executive order making face masks optional across the state in schools and leaving it up to parents. His administration has withheld funding from school districts that put such mandates in place.</p>
<p>The Biden administration has also gotten into that issue, providing more than $500,000 in financial assistance to school administrators.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, the Florida Department of Health issued a $3.57 million fine against one county after it fired 14 employees who refused to get vaccinated against the virus.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is unacceptable that Leon County violated Florida law, infringed on current and former employees&#8217; medical privacy, and fired loyal public servants because of their personal health decisions,&#8221; DeSantis said in a statement.</p>
<p>Leon County Administrator Vincent Long said the county doesn&#8217;t believe it violated the law.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is a genuine disagreement about the applicability of the statute and rule, and the County will enforce its rights using any remedies available at law, if necessary,&#8221; he said in a statement.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Biden administration had to resort to fuzzy math on Thursday in an attempt to claim progress in dealing with the <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/09/23/psaki-scoffs-at-question-about-pregnancy-claims-at-border/">Haitian migrant crisis</a> in Del Rio, Texas.</p>
<p>During her daily news briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that since Sunday, 12 “repatriation flights” had ferried 1,401 undocumented immigrants back home to Haiti.</p>
<p>Psaki said another 3,206 <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/09/23/al-sharpton-heckled-during-presser-at-migrant-camp/">Haitians</a> “have been moved” from their massive makeshift encampment under the Del Rio International Bridge into the custody of US Customs and Border Protection “or to other sectors of the United States border.”</p>
<p>There, Psaki said, they face immediate expulsion, “if possible,” under a federal public-health law, known as Title 42, or else deportation proceedings in US Immigration Court.</p>
<p>“Therefore, there remain less than 5,000 migrants in the Del Rio sector,” Psaki noted.</p>

</span></p>
<hr />
<p>But Psaki’s calculations— which accounted for no more than 9,606 migrants — appeared to dramatically discount an estimate by The Associated Press that there were 15,000 gathered under and around the bridge on Saturday.</p>
<p>If the AP is accurate, that would mean around 5,400 are now unaccounted for — and may have disappeared into the US without notice.</p>
<p>Psaki was pressed on the discrepancy by a Fox News reporter who asked, “Where’s everybody else?”</p>
<p>“I’m happy to get you a more fruitful rundown for you, if helpful, from the Department of Homeland Security,” she answered.</p>

</span></p>
<hr />
<p>DHS didn’t respond to a request from The Post for additional information.</p>
<p>However, in a Thursday evening appearance on CNN, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas again claimed he did not know how many migrants had been released into the US under direct questioning from host Wolf Blitzer.</p>
<p>“We believe it is a very small percentage of the total that assembled in Del Rio, Texas, and that will be removed,” Mayorkas said.</p>
<p>“Well, what does that mean?” a befuddled Blizter asked. “About 15,000, I have, showed up [in Del Rio]. I take it 1,400 have been sent back to Haiti. What about the rest?”</p>
<p>“Wolf, if it’s 10 percent or 15 percent, I don’t have the precise numbers,” Mayorkas admitted. “I assure you it’s a minority of the individuals … and they are placed in immigration enforcement proceedings, where they are able, where they appear before a judge and if, in fact, they make a valid claim to remain in the United States, and of course, we honor that. And if not, they are removed as well.”</p>
<p>Also Thursday, DHS updated their statistics to note that 1,949 migrants had been flown back to Haiti since Sunday, while 3,901 had been moved to CBP custody or other border sectors. The department estimated that 3,100 migrants remained under the Del Rio bridge, leaving a gap of more than 6,000 between the total number accounted for by DHS and the top-end estimate reported by AP.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the AP reported that a US official said illegal immigrants nabbed in Del Rio amid the crisis had been released on a “very, very large scale” — possibly reaching into the thousands — and simply told to report to an immigration office within 60 days.</p>
<p>Some were put on buses to El Paso, Laredo and other locations along the Texas border with Mexico, and others were flown to Tucson, Ariz., according to the report.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Reuters and the Los Angeles Times reported that thousands of the mostly Haitian migrants still in Del Rio had been given color-coded tickets by immigration officials and told to await processing.</p>
<p>Tickets that are blue or yellow — which are issued to families and pregnant women, respectively — will allow holders to enter the United States legally and seek permission to stay, according to the LA Times. But red or green tickets — for single men and single women, respectively — will likely result in a trip back to Haiti.</p>

<hr />
<p>Haitian migrant Pedro Fisime, 24, said he received a blue ticket after spending six days in the squalid encampment with his 10-year-old daughter, Reyna.</p>
<p>“It’s a very difficult process for all of us,” he told the LA Times.</p>
<p>“I had faith and I made it to the US,” he said. “You have to try.”</p>
<p>The tickets are numbered — and Border Patrol agents use the digits to summon migrants to buses and vans that will carry them to the airport for flights back to Haiti or for processing and release into the United States, according to the LA Times.</p>
<p>But some migrants who were handed the prized blue and yellow tickets were apparently unaware of their good fortune and instead thought it meant they faced expulsion.</p>
<p>So they headed for the Rio Grande to try to make the treacherous crossing back into Mexico.</p>

</span></p>
<hr />
<p>Another Haitian migrant, Fabricio Jean, told the AP that he made his way from Chile to Del Rio by following detailed instructions that his brother sent to him via the encrypted WhatsApp cellphone application.</p>
<p>Jean said that his brother, who recently made the trip and is currently living in New Jersey, warned him to stay away from areas in Mexico with lots of immigration officials and also wired him money for bus fares.</p>
<p>“You will need about 20,000 pesos (about $1,000 U.S. dollars) for the buses,” the brother reportedly wrote him. “You need to take this bus to this location and then take another bus.”</p>

<hr />
<p>On July 15, 2021, <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/07/15/1016013826/the-u-s-surgeon-general-is-calling-covid-19-misinformation-an-urgent-threat">the US Surgeon General called COVID misinformation an “urgent threat.”</a> The <a href="https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1415727354463281159">White House also is working with social media companies to ban medical disinformation</a>.</p>
<p>But what both Dr. Vivek Murthy and Press Secretary Jen Psaki neglect to say is that <strong>the biggest misinformation is coming from the CDC, FDA, and NIH</strong>. Those organizations do not want you to know how many people have been killed or permanently disabled by the COVID vaccines. And they want you to believe that early treatments don’t work.</p>
<p>They don’t want you to know that <strong>their own data</strong> shows that for the alpha variant, vaccination only makes sense if you are over 30 years old and for the delta variant, because it is nearly 7 times less deadly, vaccination makes no sense at all: <strong>for all ages, it will kill more people than it will save.</strong> Finally, early treatments are the superior alternative: they are proven in practice to have a higher risk reduction and better safety profile than any of the current vaccines. The NIH and WHO are <strong>deliberately suppressing this information </strong>in order to push the “mass vaccination is the only option” false narrative <a href="https://twitter.com/milehijules/status/1416225514952527873">(breaking with 70 years of established science</a>).</p>
<p>Furthermore, <a href="https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1415989536933490688.html">the latest statistics show that vaccination could be making people <strong>more </strong>susceptible of dying from COVID</a>, not less susceptible like everyone assumes. Is this due to ADE (antibody dependent enhancement)? There is a simple way to find out. We’ve asked the FDA why they aren’t doing autopsies to confirm or deny that this is happening, but they have not answered. <strong>This should be baffling to anyone in the medical community how we are not gathering this critical data</strong>.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Before publishing this article, we reached out several times by phone and email to Dr. Steven Anderson at the FDA who is in charge of monitoring the VAERS safety signals for the FDA. <strong>Neither Dr. Anderson nor his staff would respond to our offers to provide the FDA with the information our team had learned from extensive analysis of the VAERS data. </strong>This made it clear to us that the FDA would simply like to avoid having to address all the safety signals we found (we found a lot and they are very significant).</p></blockquote>
<p>Let’s take a look at the OFFICIAL PRIMARY DATA SOURCE that is used by the CDC and FDA to monitor adverse events caused by the vaccines. It is known as VAERS: vaccine adverse event reporting system.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/UwxI_Oc4VYp9yKE7hhFDrBnlfBpnM83wU_r_jvkJboEhYKicDJIXKJg9zUVBIQz3qngAKbCrmBZlWskJL7HH5yduzL_U2-eUxY6lu6raVR3TsXzuCI2Hkv5iP5ui5sN08RcXZx5C" width="702" height="323" /></p>
<hr />
<p>Do you see anything “unusual” in 2021?</p>
<p>Normally, once over 50 people die, you’d stop the vaccine. For example, Back in 1976, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1976/10/13/archives/swine-flu-prograrm-is-halted-in-9-states-as-3-die-after-shots.html">9 states halted the swine flu vaccine after just 3 deaths</a>! Before it was halted nationwide, up to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/30/swine.flu.1976/index.html">32 people were estimated to have died</a> and <a href="https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-public-health-legacy-of-the-1976-swine-flu-outbreak">over 450 people were diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome</a>.</p>
<p>But today, the rules have been scrapped. Now there is no limit to how many people can be killed. Nobody in government will call for a halt. We are at 438 cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, over 9,000 deaths reported, and 438,440 adverse event reports. <strong>This is a clinical trial without a stopping condition.</strong></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Because these vaccines are not FDA approved and this is just an extended clinical trial, each and every adverse effect reported must be ascribed to the drug unless proven otherwise. The <strong>burden of proof is on the manufacturers</strong> at this point to show that these adverse effects were not drug related. <strong>They have not met that burden</strong>. They haven’t even shown a single death or single adverse event was not likely caused or exacerbated by these vaccines. They are silent. We couldn’t find any events that appeared non-causal either. <a href="https://twitter.com/VaccineTruth2/status/1416052640845156353">Nor could anyone else we asked</a>. Therefore, the safest course for the public in the interim, is to assume that all of these events are all related to the experimental vaccines. This would then require the FDA to immediately shut down the trial for safety concerns.</p></blockquote>
<p>We know there are a lot of people who mistakenly believe that the burden is on VaccineTruth to prove that the vaccines are unsafe. But the FDA rules say that that is <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK208615/">not the way causality works in drug clinical trials</a>. If it worked that way, every drug would be approved because there would be no incentive for anyone to invest the resources to prove the adverse events were caused by the drug (or experimental vaccine in this case).</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://trialsitenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/image-2.png" /></p>
<p>Many people who write articles about VAERS (such as <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/covid-vaccine-adverse-event-reporting-how-vaers-veers-david/">this article on VAERS by Dr. David Katz</a>) claim that there is nothing to see that all the reports are simply “background” events that would have happened anyway, even if the injection were just a saline solution. Yet none of these people have ever actually looked INSIDE the database itself. If they did, they would find that they would be unable to explain the cause of the 9,000 excess deaths.</p>
<p><strong>Can anyone find a single case in VAERS in 2021 where the person got the COVID19 vaccine, died within 30 days, and where the vaccine was not a significant (if not sole) contributor to the cause of death</strong>? Please let us know in the comments. We couldn’t find one and <a href="https://twitter.com/VaccineTruth2/status/1416052640845156353">nobody we asked publicly on Twitter could find one either</a>. We expect that 2% of the fatality records will be coincidental and not causal. Note that death by suicide right after vaccination is pretty common because people are so despondent on the damage done by the vaccines. This is something that is well known to vaccine victims. Ask yourself: if you were planning to kill yourself tomorrow, would you get vaccinated today?</p>
<p><strong>The mainstream media will NEVER ask the CDC for their analysis of the death data, because it would instantly reveal that the CDC, NIH, and FDA have been lying to the American people</strong> since the start of the vaccination program. They’ve known all along that the vast majority of the reported deaths have no plausible explanation other than the vaccine.</p>
<p>Today, we have to rely on uncensored independent sources such as The Highwire to learn the truth. That broadcast reaches millions of listeners. And in the July 15 episode, <a href="https://thehighwire.com/videos/episode-224-the-covid-cartel/">Del Bigtree is as outraged about this as we are: The VAERS data is off the charts, the vaccines should have been stopped, and NOBODY is asking any questions about any of this</a>. This is an excellent episode we highly encourage everyone to at least watch the first 10 minutes.</p>
<p><a href="https://downloads.regulations.gov/FDA-2021-P-0521-0001/attachment_1.pdf">Peter Doshi, associate editor of BMJ, and 26 other leading scientists have filed a citizen’s petition to stop approval of the vaccines</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://principia-scientific.com/four-new-discoveries-about-safety-and-efficacy-of-covid-vaccines/">Doctors for COVID Ethics released this statement</a> questioning the risk/benefit case for COVID vaccination.</p>
<p>Even <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/the-cdc-owes-parents-better-messaging-on-the-vaccine-for-kids/">Wired has pointed out that the CDC recommendations</a> are nonsensical. They euphemistically call it “strange math.”</p>
<p>The 9,048 deaths reported and 438,000 adverse event reports in VAERS are likely to be under-counted by at least a factor of 4.5 and possibly by 15x or more, <a href="https://www.openvaers.com/images/r18hs017045-lazarus-final-report-20116.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to a report commissioned by the NIH</a>.</p>
<p>Based on multiple independent methods (direct people survey comparing # dead from COVID vs. # dead from vaccine, doctor surveys (COVID deaths, vaccine deaths, # of patients), news stories of 4 BA pilots out of 4,000 dead, and <a href="https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2021/07/horrific-five-jet-blue-airlines-pilots-dead-media-intentionally-hiding-vaxx-fears/">5 JetBlue Pilots dead</a> out of <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/741998/jetblue-airways-active-pilots/#:~:text=In%202020%2C%20there%20were%203%2C714,individuals%20from%20the%20previous%20year.">3714</a> pilots), we can make a “best guess” estimate that the death rate from these vaccines is over 1 in 1,500 which suggests that <strong>at least 100,000 previously healthy Americans have died</strong>.</p>
<p>That estimate suggests that VAERS is under-reported by a factor of 10. So the 438,000 people who reported one or more adverse events translates into over 4.3M people who have been impacted.</p>
<p>When we look in detail into the fatalities by age, we find that if you are under 30, VAERS shows that <strong>the vaccines will kill more people than will be saved</strong> (see the download for detailed calculation which was done with a 4.5 conservative multiplier).</p>
<p>But the other thing you have to consider is that the 300 to 500 deaths each year on that chart are almost all “background deaths” that are coincidental because people die every day… The actual deaths caused by previous vaccines are typically fewer than 10 per year reported to VAERS per vaccine. So when cases reported into VAERS spikes to over 10,000 death reports in the first 6 months, and the propensity to report hasn’t changed significantly from previous years, it’s very clear that something is very seriously wrong.</p>
<p>Some people say this is just due to increased “awareness.” But that is easily shown to be false. If you look at the deaths reported from all other vaccines combined, they are comparable in 2021 to other years (166 deaths for all other vaccines in the first 6 months of 2021 which is the background rate). So if we excluded the COVID-19 vaccines from the graph above, it would look perfectly normal! No one can explain how this can happen if the vaccines are “perfectly safe.&#8221;</p>
<p>We have multiple ways other ways to prove there is no excess reporting (e.g., by looking at event counts that are unrelated to the vaccine, e.g., ear aches).</p>
<p>When we take a closer look at the VAERS data, <strong>we have multiple ways </strong><strong>to prove the COVID vaccines are causing a large number of serious adverse events</strong>, including death (we use the Bradford-Hill criteria for determining causality).</p>
<p>To do a quick reality check, <a href="https://twitter.com/VaccineTruth2/status/1415036710530940928">we did a public survey (in plain sight on Twitter)</a> and asked people, “how many people do you know who have been killed by COVID?” and “How many people do you know who died shortly after vaccination?” We were surprised: the numbers we basically equal. We encourage you to do this same simple experiment with your friends. The results will shock you because <strong>you will see for yourself that the vaccines may have killed almost as many people as the virus</strong>.</p>
<p>So when Anthony Fauci said on July 11 that it is “almost inexplicable” that some people resist getting vaccinated <strong>you have to wonder how Fauci can be so completely clueless about the safety data that is in plain sight.</strong> He should be asking the opposite question: why would anyone want to get the vaccine now when it is more likely to kill them than to save them?</p>
<p>The NIH, FDA, and CDC do not see anything wrong at all. They think this is a perfectly safe vaccine that has killed nobody. Which is very strange because when we looked at the VAERS data we can clearly see a large number of serious event rates that are, in almost every case, more than 10X above “normal.” There is a nice table in the download summarizing this. You can replicate all these queries yourself.</p>
<p>It got us thinking…. wouldn’t it be great if we had a Q&amp;A document that was … honest?</p>
<p>So we decided it was about time that somebody wrote a comprehensive FAQ that didn’t pull any punches and answers all questions honestly.</p>
<p>Questions such as:</p>
<ol>
<li>How many previously healthy people have been killed or permanently disabled by these vaccines? Could it be more than 100,000? How do we know?</li>
<li>Why aren’t they stopping these vaccines after 50 deaths reported in VAERS?</li>
<li>How did the CDC prove that the vaccines didn’t cause all the neurological and cardiovascular events? It certainly appears that the majority of deaths satisfy the Bradford-Hill causality criteria.</li>
<li>Since analysis of the VAERS fatality data by age and the CDC data clearly shows that for people under 30 the vaccine kills more people than it would save, why would the CDC want to vaccinate anyone under 30? (Answer: because the CDC has no cost-benefit analysis by age that takes into account the VAERS fatality data; there is a reason they don’t show it to you).</li>
<li>If the vaccine isn’t causing any symptoms, then why is there a dramatic difference between the number of events associated with the first dose vs. the second dose? Note: This question is extremely problematic. <strong>Nobody at the FDA or CDC can answer that question. And the press will never ask it. They don’t want you to learn the truth.</strong></li>
<li>Will the CDC ever figure out that the vaccines are unsafe and should have been stopped after 50 people were killed? (Answer: that is really unlikely. The are not focused on safety at all. Any competent unbiased statistician who looks at the VAERS data is appalled and the more they look, the more appalled they get).</li>
<li>How serious can these vaccines be long-term? (The answer to this should frighten everyone)</li>
<li>Why is the CDC recommending that women who are pregnant get vaccinated when we don’t have the data on the effect of the vaccine on the baby? Couldn’t we be setting ourselves up for a huge tragedy for the family, the baby, and society? Why not at least wait 9 months to see if the vaccines are safe for pregnant women?</li>
<li>Why does the FDA’s Director of the Office Of Biostatistics And Epidemiology  (Steven Anderson) refuse to even look at the data showing all the adverse events caused by these vaccines? What is he afraid of?</li>
<li>Will anyone in Congress ever ask for the FDA report showing that the vaccine couldn’t have caused any of the deaths reported in VAERS? Why is Congress so afraid to ask for this?</li>
<li>Why is the vaccine causing so many neurological and cardiovascular problems (see our giant table in the document)?</li>
<li>Is there a significant neurological and/or cardiovascular adverse event that is not triggered by the vaccines (Answer: we haven’t found one yet).</li>
<li>How can I treat my post-vaccine inflammation syndrome (PVIS)?</li>
<li>How can I fight vaccine mandates from my employer or school? What did they do wrong in the Houston Methodist case? Where can I join a class action?</li>
<li>Can I get compensated for my vaccine injuries?</li>
<li>Is this vaccine really more deadly than all of the other 70 vaccines combined in the last 30 years? (answer: Yes)</li>
<li>They claim there are no deaths from the vaccines. How are they categorizing all the dead bodies from the vaccine? (this answer to this one surprised us and it will really surprise you; it was buried in one sentence in a paper that few people have read)</li>
<li>Why haven’t the FDA and CDC investigated the fraud in the Pfizer Phase 3 trial where a 12 year old (Maddie de Garay) became permanently paralyzed less than 24 hours after taking the vaccine? Pfizer reported as a minor event. The FDA knows about the case, promised to investigate, and did nothing. Why? And why isn’t the press asking about the fraud??</li>
<li>Is early treatment a better option than vaccines? Why has the NIH not promoted any of these treatments despite clear and compelling evidence that they work with well over 98% risk reduction?</li>
<li>Why aren’t there any autopsies for people who die after vaccination? Don’t people want to prove that it wasn’t the vaccine that killed these people?</li>
<li>If the vaccine is so safe, then how come half the deaths happen within 3 days of vaccination? And why does the death rate peak on the second day since there would be a higher propensity to report a death within 24 hours? How do you explain that? (we explain why this is in the document)</li>
<li>If the vaccine is so safe, how come there are so many deaths of people under 30 in their sleep less than 24 hours after vaccination? That never happens so how do you explain those deaths?</li>
<li>Why were people who died 15 minutes after vaccination removed from the VAERS reporting system?</li>
<li>How many people have to die before they call a halt to the nonsense?</li>
<li>Why isn’t the press asking any of these questions?</li>
<li>How can four British Airways pilots all die shortly after vaccination? How can BA claim that the deaths aren’t linked if they don’t know the vaccination dates of the four pilots? And why won’t they answer that question (as to how they KNOW the deaths are not linked)?</li>
<li>Why is it up to 2,500 times safer to opt for early treatment than the vaccine if you want to avoid permanent neurological or cardiovascular damage? (it’s a simple calculation anyone can do)</li>
<li>Why aren’t any Democratic committee chairmen asking NIH for Tony Fauci’s unredacted emails so we can expose the fact that he funded the creation of the virus and then tried to cover it up after he became aware that the virus escaped? And why isn’t the press asking them this question? <strong>We’ve asked this question ourselves, but they all refuse to answer.</strong></li>
<li>Why are the NIH and WHO pretending that early treatments don’t work when it is obvious to everyone, including the WHO’s top consultant on ivermectin, that they do work? He even published a paper in a top peer-reviewed journal about it.</li>
<li>How can Moderna send the University of North Carolina a coronavirus vaccine to test two weeks before anyone knew COVID even existed? How did Moderna know in advance the exact best vaccine to create? (if you want to see a copy of the MTA, download the doc and then download the reference doc listed at the end of that doc)</li>
<li>Will a safe vaccine be available soon? From what company? When?</li>
<li>Why are top universities like Stanford and Harvard requiring vaccination for students when they’ve never done the calculation that would show the policy would kill (and disable) more students than it would save? Shouldn’t they at least have the numbers derived from the VAERS system to show the parents? (sure, but they don’t!) Why aren’t any parents asking for this? (answer: Parents trust the CDC assertions). How can we be telling our kids to get a vaccine that is more likely to kill them than to save them if we’ve never looked at the numbers? (answer: Most parents don’t think to question authority. They go along with narrative.)</li>
<li>How come there is still no informed consent for the vaccine experiment underway? Isn’t the CDC supposed to share the rates of death and disability?</li>
<li>Aren’t these experiments a violation of multiple parts of the Nuremberg Code?</li>
<li>Where is the proof that nobody has been killed or permanently injured from the vaccines? Since these vaccines are not approved, the burden is on the drug company to show that all the deaths and permanent disabilities in VAERS were not vaccine related. Where is the analysis and why is it kept hidden (if it exists)?</li>
<li>Can we at least see Pfizer’s analysis of Maddie de Garay’s case where she was permanently paralyzed less than 24 hours after the shot? Why is the press not asking for this analysis? Or <strong>asking why nobody at the CDC, FDA, or NIH followed up on this case</strong> even though they know about it for sure. She was in the Pfizer 12-15 year old clinical trial. Surely, there must be an analysis proving her sudden paralysis was caused by “something else” but as of July 15, 2021 nobody has contacted the family to get the case history. Why is this girl being ignored?</li>
<li>Why is the <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/dJpqH7JlGGQf/">US government giving Merck over a billion dollars for an unproved antiviral, when we already have a very safe old drug that is extremely effective against all COVID variants and is available now</a>? Why not give Merck the money to do a large randomized control trial of ivermectin? Antivirals typically can’t be given early enough to halt the virus because the patients don’t realize they have the virus until they are in the inflammatory stage of the disease. This seems like a government boondoggle. What are we missing here?</li>
<li>How can the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/07/16/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-july-16-2021/">White House say ivermectin is disinformation</a>? Ivermectin has a peer-reviewed systematic review. That is the highest level of evidence possible in evidence-based medicine. Yet, paradoxically, masks are mandated even though the <a href="https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/m20-6817">only randomized trial on mask wearing showed it made no statistically significant difference</a>. We require infinite clinical trials for ivermectin (not even a systematic review is accepted), yet for mask wearing, no scientific proof at all is required and nobody is asking for it. Huh??!?!</li>
<li>Why aren’t we leveling with the American people that <a href="https://rumble.com/vjt3qx-2-just-wear-a-mask-or-youll-kill-grandma-v2.html">the scientific evidence supporting mask wearing for COVID is non-existent</a>? All the inconvenience we went through was pure political theater. Haven’t you ever wondered why the NIH never funded a mask study? The answer is simple: they know it doesn’t work so doing a study would expose the existing recommendations as foolish, unnecessary, and unhealthy and it would also discredit every public health official in the US as going along with the narrative without questioning it at all. <strong>NO ONE WILL DEBATE Tyson Gabriel</strong> of Premier Risk Management, Arizona. They will instead try to censor him like they do to anyone else who tries to argue using facts and evidence. This is why <a href="https://rumble.com/vjt3qx-2-just-wear-a-mask-or-youll-kill-grandma-v2.html">his video exposing the facts on mask wearing isn’t on YouTube</a>.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/16/tech/misinformation-covid-facebook-twitter-white-house/index.html">White House released their list of the misinformation dozen which included Bobby Kennedy and asked social media to censor their accounts</a>. Is this what we’ve come to as a nation to silence people with opposing viewpoints? The facts are that <strong>for the last 20 years, Bobby Kennedy has pleaded to debate anyone with scientific credentials about vaccine safety</strong>. The only person to accept the debate was Alan Dershowitz, and Dershowitz lost the debate. Why in 20 years has nobody from the scientific community dared to debate Kennedy? (see the image below for the reason why censorship is the only pathway)</li>
<li>We asked Monica Gandhi, a prominent infectious disease expert at UCSF, “Are scientific dissenters best dealt with through <a href="https://twitter.com/RWMaloneMD/status/1416723981864947712">assassination threats</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/politico/status/1416835346713792521">government encouraged censorship</a>? Or do you support open scientific debate?” She did not respond. It is a difficult choice. But by not agreeing to debate and refusing to answer our question, we can infer her answer.</li>
<li><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hbLaRRRMxE9mZ9ntXan05yzvpcBntTwE/view">Over 40 faculty members of the University of Guelph wrote a letter criticizing Dr. Byram Bridle for his views on vaccine safety</a>. None of them would agree to debate Dr. Bridle in a fair open debate. Not a single one.</li>
<li>Why won’t anyone from any of the federal agencies (CDC, FDA, NIH), the fact checkers employed by mainstream media, the White House, the Surgeon General, Congress, or academia will answer (or ask) any of these questions posed above? Why are they all afraid to debate Dr. Robert Malone, Professor Byram Bridle, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Bret Weinstein, Dr. Chris Martenson, Dr. Jessica Rose, Mathew Crawford, and others on vaccine safety? Answer: they are afraid of losing badly, very badly.</li>

<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi</p>
</div>
</div>
<hr />
<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement about the bombing that claimed the lives of 12 U.S. service members in Kabul while issuing a warning to lawmakers not to travel to Afghanistan.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, we suffered the loss of life of at least twelve U.S. servicemembers and dozens of civilians from the terrorist attack outside of the Kabul airport,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;We mourn the loss of every innocent life taken, and we join every American in heartbreak over the deaths of the Americans and all killed.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sadly, the gravity of the situation in Afghanistan necessitates reiterating that Members must not request or plan visits to the region,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8221; The Departments of Defense and State have explicitly stated that Member travel to Afghanistan and surrounding countries would unnecessarily divert needed resources from the priority mission of safely and expeditiously evacuating Americans and Afghans at risk.  It should be clear that any Member presence presents a danger and an opportunity cost of resources, regardless of whatever value that Members consider they may add by such trips.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelosi&#8217;s statement comes after Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton and GOP Rep. Peter Meijer, both veterans, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-evacuations-kabul-islamic-state-group-9aa28ed934ac7a00e5982dafeab84c84" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made an unannounced trip to Kabul</a> in a move that angered some lawmakers and Biden administrations officials.</p>

<h2 class="title">ISIS-K: What to know about Taliban rival seen as threat to Afghanistan evacuation</h2>
</div>
<div class="content">
<p>The United States has fought against the Taliban, al Qaeda and the Haqqani insurgent groups in Afghanistan for the last two decades, but counter-terrorism experts warn that the imminent threat ISIS-K poses could prove catastrophic. Following multiple attacks near the Kabul airport Thursday, Pentagon officials blamed ISIS, and the terror network claimed responsibility.</p>
<p>The group referred to as ISIS-K is the &#8220;Khorasan&#8221; branch of the Islamic State, located in Afghanistan. Khorasan is a historic name for the broader region.</p>
<p>The insurgent group formed after a faction within the Taliban splintered and pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi – the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria – in October 2014.</p>

<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — President Joe Biden has invited Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to Washington next week to discuss Iran as well as Israel’s relationship with the Palestinians, the White House said Wednesday.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">The long-expected visit with Israel’s new prime minister will take place Aug. 26 amid tensions with the Islamic Republic and Israel’s fragile truce with militant Hamas rulers in Gaza following an 11-day war in May.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">The meeting will “underscore the United States’ unwavering commitment to Israel’s security,” according to the statement from presidential spokeswoman Jen Psaki. The leaders, she said, “will discuss critical issues related to regional and global security, including Iran.”</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">Bennett, meanwhile, described the upcoming meeting as important. His office said Bennett and Biden “will discuss a series of diplomatic, economic and security issues, especially the Iranian nuclear program.”</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">The Israeli leader made no mention of the cease-fire efforts with Hamas — even as an Egyptian mediator was in the country — or pledges by the U.S. and Israel to bolster Hamas’ rival, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">The meeting next week will be the first between the American and Israeli leader — and Bennett’s first diplomatic trip as prime minister — at a sensitive time for the security of the Middle East. Politically, both men want to show a steady hand at the helm of their respective governments in the wake of the Israel-Gaza war and the collapse of Afghanistan’s government on Biden’s watch.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">Both nations want to put the brakes on Iran’s conduct in the region and on its nuclear program. But they diverge on the key question of reinstating the 2015 nuclear accord. Former President Donald Trump pulled America out of that agreement in 2018.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">Biden campaigned on restoring the deal, with changes to address Iran’s conduct. Bennett and his predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, staunchly oppose the accord and have vowed that Israel will act against Iran on its own if need be.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">For Bennett, strengthening Israel’s relationship with its strong ally, the U.S., is especially important as he leads a coalition government of eight parties from across the political spectrum. Under the coalition deal, Bennett, a founder of the Israeli settlement movement, will step down in 2023. Centrist Yair Lapid, now Israel’s foreign minister, will then take the top job.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">For Biden, it’s a chance to change the subject from the Taliban’s blitz across Afghanistan and the collapse of the U.S.-backed government there after 20 years.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">While Bennett, who leads a small hard-line party that opposes major concessions to the Palestinians, made no mention of the Palestinians, the White House did — a reflection of human rights concerns for Palestinians among some in Biden’s party.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">“The visit will also be an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss efforts to advance peace, security, and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians and the importance of working towards a more peaceful and secure future for the region,” the White House said.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">There have been no substantive talks between Israel and Abbas’ government in over a decade. With relations chilly, and the Palestinians divided between rival governments, the prospects for resuming negotiations appear slim.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">But Bennett has indicated he would like to improve ties and bolster the Palestinian economy. This week, Israeli authorities postponed a meeting in which hundreds of new homes in West Bank settlements were to be approved. It was unclear if the delay was the result of American pressure.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-59 Component-p-0-2-50">The 11-day war between Israel and militant Hamas rulers inflicted heavy damage on Gaza. Some 254 Palestinians were killed, including at least 67 children and 39 women, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Twelve civilians, including two children, were killed in Israel, along with one soldier.</p>
