... We are heading toward New Normal Winter No. 3. They are already cranking up the official propaganda, jacking up the fabricated “cases,” talking about reintroducing mask-mandates, fomenting mass hatred of “the Unvaccinated,” and so on. People’s gas bills and doubling and tripling. The global-capitalist ruling classes are openly embracing neo-Nazis. There is talk of “limited” nuclear war. Fanaticism, fear, and hatred abound. The gaslighting of the masses is not abating. It is increasing. The suppression of dissent is intensifying. The demonization of non-conformity is intensifying. Lines are being drawn in the sand. You see it and feel it just...

Dear Student: Our response to the pandemic continues to evolve based on science, data, and the advice of public health experts.

"Marquez received the mandatory vaccine on August 22, 2021, and immediately started having a bad reaction. Since receiving the vaccine he has not been able to return to work and his future is uncertain. After receiving his vaccine he developed severe tremors and has trouble sleeping due to the amount of pain in his legs. He has fallen a number of times and basically can’t walk."

"Vaccine efficacy is generally reported as a relative risk reduction (RRR). It uses the relative risk (RR)—ie, the ratio of attack rates with and without a vaccine—which is expressed as 1–RR. Ranking by reported efficacy gives relative risk reductions of 95% for the Pfizer–BioNTech, 94% for the Moderna–NIH, 90% for the Gamaleya, 67% for the J&J, and 67% for the AstraZeneca–Oxford vaccines. However, RRR should be seen against the background risk of being infected and becoming ill with COVID-19, which varies between populations and over time. Although the RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the vaccine, the absolute...

ORANGE, CA — An Orange County resident and healthcare worker suffered a reaction and died after receiving his second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, his family shared. Whether the two events are related is under investigation by the Orange County Coroner's office, and state officials. Timothy Zook's wife, Rochelle, shared the news of her husband's death with the Orange County Register this week in a plea for officials to further investigate the reason that her husband died. Just over two hours after his final vaccination, which he shared over social media, Timothy Zook experienced "a severely upset stomach and...

"This soft coup wasn’t a revolution. It was a coup. Thai coups are always committed by the elites. Usually for financial gain. The US coup was also an elite coup. Instead of the army, they used middle class wannabe elites to do their dirty work."

The Louisville Courier Journal has a very odd article in that there is no comment on the status of the shooter(s).

Thousands of people in Newport Beach and hundreds in San Clemente took to the shore on Sunday afternoon, as lifeguards and police repeatedly sent beachgoers packing, pointing out they were in violation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order that closed all Orange County beaches.

Angry demonstrators, many unmasked, crammed toward the state Capitol demanding Gov. Gavin Newsom loosen or lift restrictions designed to contain the coronavirus pandemic. The bigger risk for Newsom: losing buy-in from local officials to make his edicts relevant up and down this diverse state.

"We’re not trying to be rebels or anything,” Abdelmuti said. “We’ve got bills to pay.” Abdelmuti applied for a loan through the federal stimulus plan but hasn’t heard back. He said businesses like his, and the people that depend on them, can only hang on for so long if they’re forced to stay closed."

It started as a way to get toilet paper into the hands of his employees who were struggling to find the once-common commodity in local stores.
