Trump rocked their world at Davos.  Nobody wants to say the wrong thing.  Private parking for jets was at a premium, and nobody had to guess who was running the show.  America may be in for the greatest era of growth we’ve ever seen.  I drive the same highway every day, and I’ve never seen so many dump trucks and heavy equipment on the highway.  This may be the greatest time in American history, but let’s not get too carried away.

Everybody wants to be friends with DJT.  They certainly don’t want him lying awake at night thinking of ways to ruin them.  Davos used to be where they preached global warming and worried about how many years we had.  Now they’ve got a spoiler.  They can either save the planet or do business, their choice.  Not that the planet needs saving.  That’s in God’s domain.

We’ve got Maduro, and Venezuela is celebrating.  We dug the wells and they kicked us out.  But things haven’t been too good domestically.  That’s about to change.  Maduro’s not dancing around any more.  Furthermore, we demonstrated some technology in Venezuela that has the rest of the world talking, or worrying.  Apparently Venezuela’s defenses were knocked out without warning and they were helpless.  Now they’ve lost their fearless leader, and they’re happy.

Here at home, things are good.  The grocery store is stocked, gas is cheap(er) and things are looking up.   I don’t know when we’ve seen gas prices go down, but don’t look now.  

DJT has got big things on his plate.  Europe has worried about global warming, and Donald wants business.  Who knows what’s to become of Ukraine?  There must be some minerals that everybody needs, but other than that people are being killed.

Donald Trump has positioned himself as a peacemaker, and you know what the Bible says about that!

A new letter has just been written and you can get all the details, or some of them, there.

Sabbath services have been canceled here in Tyler due to the potential for severe weather. We hope you all stay warm and safe.

The post Trump heads to Davos more aggressive and ambitious than ever first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Greetings from Tyler,

It’s just so much easier to avoid what’s happening around the world. There is this scene this week in Davos, where the world’s “elite” went to congratulate themselves on saving the planet.  Al Gore delved into one of the more bizarre performances ever.  He used terms I’d never heard before.  But those terms, at least some of them, were not invented on the fly.  Will we all start talking about “rain bombs” and atmospheric rivers? What about boiling oceans?  

The participants seem to delve into self-congratulation, just happy to be in with so many other wealthy people and presumably seeing themselves as the saviors of all mankind.  They are talking about earth, aren’t they?  Mixing unlimited (and un-merited) vanity with all the scare-mongering is not a good look.  Maybe they’ll realize that when they get home.  Meanwhile they intend to frighten everybody into adopting their rules.  I guess they never heard of the American Constitution.  It must be an impediment to their plans, and they’ve got to scare us into submission.

Why are representatives of American law enforcement agencies over there? Is it to complain that they are not allowed to “prevent crime?” Crime is off the chart, but they’re more interested in monitoring everybody just to make sure nobody’s having any success with an unapproved message.

Records are being set at the border.  Now it’s over 250,000 per month, a full blown invasion.  Maybe you’ve seen some of the reports out of New York where these “immigrants” have trashed entire hotels, at our expense.  

The pretender is in such trouble, he may not survive his term in office.  But he knows little about it and his lawyers have told him not to ask. He has no regrets.  Bet that doesn’t last long.  Even the mainstream has to report the news eventually, and he’s not looking too good.  Somebody’s going to have to tell him that resignation over mishandling documents would be a lot less painful than what’s coming.  He castigated Trump for having classified documents, just couldn’t believe how irresponsible he’d been.  But Trump was the President, which gave him authority over documents.  The pretender has had this stuff for years, in the home where his son resides.  Uh oh.

California has suffered some of the worst flooding anybody can remember.  Nobody remembers 1860, before global warming had been discovered.  Maybe that was one of those “rain bombs” that buffoon Al Gore was talking about.  But it happened long before the industrial age.  It makes you wonder if they have an explanation for that.  Doubtful.

Have you noticed that the Kennedy assassination is back in the news?  Maybe there’s a reason all the documents haven’t been released.  You don’t suppose the “deep state” existed back in the 1960’s, or did it?  There have been some pretty disturbing revelations.  We’re waiting to see if anything gets traction.

How many ways is the U. S. going to get ruined by the pretender and his party?  It seems as if everything has fallen apart at once.  To find out that we’re funding these institutions that plan to change life as we know it is disgusting.  If they can’t scare us into submission, they’ll have to figure out how to FORCE us into their vision for the future.  

Mark

P. S. On a happier note, we’ve reached 130,000 this week online, and  we’ve run big ads for WATCH magazine and the Real Jesus. Another one is in the design process featuring only Bible quotes. Who can argue with that? Religious people run around being religious, and have no idea what the “good book” says. Have a great Sabbath.

What if your next-door neighbor suddenly went dangerously insane and started holding people hostage in his house? Would you consider that threatening? Would you even notice? These aren’t theoretical questions. Something very much like that just happened in our neighborhood.

Canada — the land mass directly to our north and our single largest trading partner, with whom we share the longest international border in the world — took a dramatic move toward legitimately dangerous authoritarianism. Yes, Canada.

On Monday, the country’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, outlined his government’s new corona regulations. Canadians hoping to return to their country must be tested before and after takeoff, he said, adding: “If your test results come back positive, you’ll need to immediately quarantine in designated government facilities. This is not optional.”

“Designated government facilities.” When this happens in other countries, and it does, we call those internment camps. Because this is Canada we’re talking about, a place we assume is passive and polite and Anglo to the point of parody, no one thinks to use that term. In fact, no one seems to think about it at all.

TUCKER CARLSON: WHY THE MEDIA, SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND WHO WON’T INVESTIGATE COVID ORIGINS

Trudeau’s internment policy has been in been place since last month, and as far as we can tell, no major U.S. news network has mentioned it. Neither has our State Department, which ordinarily seems to exist to make unhappy noises about human rights violations around the world. But not a word about Canada. Preconceptions may play a role in this. We assume that interning people is what Russia does. Boring people is what Canada does. But not anymore.

Suddenly, Canada is a flagrant violator of the most basic human rights. Fail a COVID test and they’ll lock you up without trial. Go ahead and try to disobey. According to the Canadian government, anyone who attempts to avoid detention in a government internment facility could face a million-dollar fine and three years in prison.

This is Justin Trudeau’s Canada. It’s funny, Trudeau always seemed like a cheerful idiot, wearing weird costumes and yammering on about diversity. Who knew he was Mussolini? There might be a lesson here for other nations led by shallow, neoliberal empty suits. Underneath all the chirpy identity politics talk, it’s not a joke. It’s interment cells.

In Canada, where everything has a euphemism, those cells are referred to as “approved quarantine hotels.” What are they like? Well, as noted, they’re internment cells. What do you think they’re like? There are shortages of food and water. You could be sexually assaulted. A member of the Canadian Parliament explained what they’re like.

Oh, the Liberals did this. It’s not very liberal to intern people, is it?

According to a report in The Post Millennial, doors in many of the internment facilities don’t lock. Detainees have no way to protect themselves while they sleep, hence the sexual assault. They also don’t have access to medical care. In one case, Canadian authorities detained a man with diabetes called Ray Truesdale. What was his crime? Flying from Tennessee to Toronto on a business trip. As he waited in confinement for his coronavirus test results, his jailers forgot to feed him for more than twenty-four hours. Ultimately Truesdale left his cell and went downstairs in search of something to eat.

There, he found others who were being held without food. “They were screaming,” he said. In the end, Canadian authorities informed Truesdale that his coronavirus sample had been damaged, so he had to remain in internment.

AUTHOR: FAUCI IS MOST POWERFUL, DANGEROUS BUREAUCRAT IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Or consider Mitch Beaulieu, a Canadian who landed in Calgary after a business trip to Florida. He told CTV News that the experience very much like a kidnapping.

According to CTV, Beaulieu was “put in a black van with tinted windows and taken to an undisclosed location.”

“Where am I going?” he asked. “Why am I going there?” The response came back: “We’ll tell you everything when you get there.” He thought it was a prank. He thought it had to be. But it wasn’t.

“I get out there and there was plastic all over, people walking around in … hazmat suits,” he recalled. “It was like jail pretty much.”

RAND PAUL MOCKS FAUCI OVER ADVOCACY OF MASK USE AFTER VACCINATION

Just don’t call it jail. That’s an order, directly from Canadian state media. This past fall, the CBC ran a story with this headline: “PM, health officials warn Canadians against believing COVID-19 ‘internment camps’ disinformation.”

Warn them against believing – sound familiar?

That claim, that conspiracy theory, said CBC, “that the federal government is preparing to forcibly intern Canadians is patently false.” The CBC assured Canadians that the government was preparing “voluntary quarantine sites.” Yes, voluntary in the sense of being mandatory, which is what they are.

By the way, as a matter of science, how does packing people into crowded internment facilities reduce the spread of the coronavirus? Some have asked the Canadian government that very question. But they haven’t explained.

FACEBOOK REMOVES VIDEO OF TRUMP INTERVIEW WITH DAUGHTER-IN-LAW LARA TRUMP

We do know, and this is significant, that Canada has fallen far behind other advanced nations in distributing the vaccine, which is interesting considering the decades of propaganda all of us here have been subject to about the glories of the Canadian healthcare system. According to Andrea Taylor, a researcher at Duke’s Global Health Innovation Center, Canada “had more faith in the global supply chain than other countries.”

Oh, they believed the whole globalism thing worked. That turned out to be a mistake. But rather than admit that globalist stupidity is the problem, Justin Trudeau decided to punish his own citizens. It’s his fault, and the population gets punished. Recognize that impulse? It should, because neoliberalism is always the same, no matter where you find it.

What’s so interesting is that Canada’s new rules apply only to COVID patients. Other transmissible diseases are exempt. People with AIDS aren’t being sent to internment facilities, thank God. No one’s tried that since Fidel Castro in the 1980s. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is fine too. That’s a real problem, but not in Canada. Only COVID, a disease with a 98% survival rate.

Weirdly, and you may recognize this as well, at the same they’ve clamped down on travel by citizens, the Canadian government has announced plans to admit 400,000 new permanent residents from other countries over the next eight months. Sound familiar? And by the way, that number will increase substantially in the next two years. None of these immigrants from the Third World will be forcibly quarantined in Canada. We’re not calling for them to be, but the difference is interesting. They won’t be arrested, in fact, they’ll be rewarded, because they’re not citizens. Only the citizens are punished.

MYSTERIOUS BRAIN DISEASE ‘CLUSTER’ UNDER INVESTIGATION IN CANADA

Back in November, Justin Trudeau admitted what’s going on. It’s not about stopping the coronavirus and saving lives. No. This pandemic, he said, is an opportunity to permanently change Western civilization:

TRUDEAU: This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actual address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality, and climate change. We don’t want to give Justin Trudeau too much credit. He may be sinister, but he’s not smart. He didn’t think that phrase up. He took it from his role models in this country. At a forum hosted by the World Economic Forum in mid-November, John Kerry — our new climate czar — laid it out.

“Yes, it [the Great Reset] will happen,” Kerry said, “and I think it will happen with greater speed and with greater intensity than a lot of people might imagine. In effect, the citizens of the United States have just done a Great Reset. We’ve done a Great Reset. And it was a record level of voting. We’re at the dawn of an extremely exciting time.”

KERRY MOCKED BY REPUBLICANS OVER MASKLESS PLANE PHOTO: ‘NOT USED TO FLYING COMMERCIAL’

Has it been extremely exciting for you? Has it been extremely exciting for most Americans as the people in charge mismanage this country all the way to the brink? No, it probably hasn’t been. It’s been a sad time for most people.

For power-mad leaders hoping to eliminate centuries of constitutional restraints on their own ambitions, it is indeed an exciting time. Could what’s happening in Canada happen here? That’s the question. You might not think so. We don’t need internment cells. Unlike Canada, we have the vaccine, and we’re distributing it to tens of millions of people. Once you’re vaccinated, you can live your life normally. That’s the whole point of the vaccine. But then you wonder:

If that’s true, why are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris still wearing their obedience masks everywhere they go? They’ve been vaccinated. So has everyone around them. Why the masks? Why the restrictions? What’s going on here? We know for certain it’s not science. According to the CDC, once you’re vaccinated, you don’t need a mask anymore:

CDC DIRECTOR ROCHELLE WALENSKY, MONDAY: We can kind of almost see the end. We`re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don`t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it`s also in real world data.

CDC PROVIDES EASTER CORONAVIRUS GUIDANCE, SAYS FULLY VACCINATED PEOPLE CAN GATHER WITHOUT MASKS

Well, we hope vaccinated people don’t carry the virus. Otherwise, why are we getting all these vaccines? Turns out the “real-world data” confirms common sense. Once you get the vaccine, you don’t need a mask. That’s a Biden employee. So, why is everyone still wearing them? Why are people with vaccinations walking alone outside with masks on? Why are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wearing masks?

These are sincere questions. You’d think our media would ask that once in a while, but they’re not. They’re asking very different questions in the other direction. In fact, they’re heckling members of the opposition political party — people who have been vaccinated — and demanding they put their masks back on:

Whoops! We couldn’t access this Tweet.

As if we needed to be reminded and we do, because we’ve lost sight of that – that’s what the science says. But it doesn’t matter what the science says. Wear your obedience mask. Immediately. “It would make us feel better.” Which is the passive-aggressive way of saying “do it, or else.”

That interaction makes you wonder how our media would react if Dr. Fauci one day reluctantly concluded that actually, we need “coronavirus internment facilities” in this country. We don’t want to violate anyone’s rights, but we have to have them. How would our media respond?

You realize the person who asked Ted Cruz to wear a mask badly wants him tossed into the back of a black van for coronavirus noncompliance? And not just Ted Cruz, but you, too. In fact, all the disobedient, politically inconvenient people should be held without trial (on public health grounds, of course) until they no longer pose a mortal threat to the rest of us. And by “the rest of us,” of course, we mean the good people, the ones who obey.

Think that couldn’t happen here? Why, because the Constitution prohibits it? Think that couldn’t happen in America? It just happened in Canada.

Only just over half of Poles (56%) say they would take a vaccine for COVID-19 if one were available, a global survey by Ipsos on behalf of the World Economic Forum has found.

That puts Poland second from bottom among the 27 countries included in the study, alongside Hungary (56%). Only Russia (54%) came below them.

Globally, 74% of adults surveyed said they would take the vaccine. The countries with the highest proportion of positive responses are China (97%), Brazil (88%) and Australia (88%).

In a separate survey conducted in Poland by SW Research for Rzeczpospolita in July, just under half of Poles (47%) said that they would use a vaccine if one became available.

In the latest Ipsos study, among Poles who said they did not intend to take the vaccine, the most common reason – chosen by 65% of them – was that they were worried about side effects.

Almost half (44%) said they did not think the treatment would be effective, while 18% said they were opposed to vaccines in general.

Poland, like many countries, has seen a growth in anti-vaccine sentiment in recent years. The number of people refusing compulsory vaccinations grew thirteenfold in 2008-18, reaching 40,151 in the latter year, and the proportion of children being vaccinated against measles has fallen below the 95% threshold required for herd immunity.

Last year, Poland recorded 1,423 measles cases – the fourth highest number among EU member states and more than in the previous 18 years combined. Many cases were found among immigrants from neighbouring Ukraine, leading the government to consider an entry ban on unvaccinated foreigners.

Antivax groups have been present at anti-lockdown protests in Poland during the coronavirus pandemic. A “Stop the Plandemic” demonstration in the city of Poznań on Saturday was led by Justyna Socha, who in 2018 fronted a successful effort to gather the 100,000 public signatures necessary to submit a legislative proposal to parliament that would ban compulsory vaccinations.

Socha is a parliamentary assistant to MP Grzegorz Braun, one of the leaders of the far-right Confederation (Konfederacja). Braun has been present at anti-lockdown protests, including one in Berlin at the end of August, which Socha also attended.

During Poland’s recent presidential election campaign, incumbent Andrzej Duda declared that he was “not a supporter of any kind of obligatory vaccination”. Following criticism, he clarified that he was referring only to a potential coronavirus vaccine, and not to vaccinations in general.

In response, the health minister at the time, Łukasz Szumowski, said that it was too early to discuss whether a vaccine against COVID-19 should be made mandatory. The vaccine first needed to be developed and tested, he said.

Last month, Szumowski announced that Poland was expecting the first batches of a future vaccine to arrive in December. Medical workers would be first in line to receive it, he said, followed by the uniformed services and the elderly.

According to the new Ipsos survey, Poles are the most sceptical among all the nations included as to whether a vaccine will be ready soon. Only 27% of respondents in Poland agreed that the vaccine will be available to them by the end of this year.

That was the lowest among all countries surveyed, and compared to a global average of 41%. Most optimistic were the Chinese, 87% of whom thought they would have access to a vaccine in 2020, followed by Saudis (75%) and Indians (74%).

Poland has experienced a relatively low rate of coronavirus infections, following a tough and early lockdown. However, new cases recently rose to their highest ever level after restrictions were loosened. Since late August, however, daily infection numbers have been falling again.

“This is a potential flashpoint,” Khan said during a media briefing at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, adding that it was time for the “international institutions … specifically set up to stop this” to “come into action”.

The Indian government in August revoked the constitutional autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority state, splitting it into two federal territories in a bid to integrate it fully with India and to rein in militancy.

Kashmir is claimed in full by both India and Pakistan. The two countries have gone to war twice over it, and both rule parts of it. India’s portion has been plagued by separatist violence since the late 1980s.

Khan said his biggest fear was how New Delhi would respond to ongoing protests in India over a citizenship law that many feel targets Muslims.

“We’re not close to a conflict right now … What if the protests get worse in India, and to distract attention from that, what if …”

The prime minister said he had discussed the prospect of war between his country and India in a Tuesday meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump later said he had offered to help mediate between the two countries.

Khan said Pakistan and the United States were closer in their approach to the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan than they had been for many years. He said he had never seen a military solution to that conflict.

“Finally the position of the U.S. is there should be negotiations and a peace plan.”

In a separate on-stage conversation later on Wednesday, Khan said he had told Trump in their meeting that a war with Iran would be “a disaster for the world”. Trump had not responded, Khan said.

Khan made some of his most straightforward comments when asked why Pakistan has been muted in defense of Uighurs in China.

China has been widely condemned for setting up complexes in remote Xinjiang that Beijing describes as “vocational training centers” to stamp out extremism and give people new skills. The United Nations says at least one million ethnic Uighurs and other Muslims have been detained.

When pressed on China’s policies, Khan said Pakistan’s relations with Beijing were too important for him to speak out publicly.

“China has helped us when we were at rock bottom. We are really grateful to the Chinese government, so we have decided that any issues we have had with China we will handle privately.”
