World Health Organization European Advisory Group of Experts in Immunization former Vice President Professor Christian Perronne yesterday said that all vaccinated people must quarantine over the winter months or risk serious illness. Perronne specializes in tropical pathologies and emerging infectious diseases. He was Chairman of the Specialized Committee on Communicable Diseases of the High Council of Public Health. Confirming the rapidly deteriorating situation in Israel and the UK, the infectious disease expert stated: “Vaccinated people should be put in quarantine, and should be isolated from the society.” He went on to say: “Unvaccinated people are not dangerous; vaccinated people are...

Here’s how it goes, dear reader. First, they told you the vaccine was your way out of the dark, out of the lockdowns. And if enough of you took the shot, the pandemic would be over. So you lined up and took the jab. And you took the second dose. THEN they said to wait. You could still transmit the virus. In fact, you could still catch COVID. On top of that, your viral load could be as high as the unvaccinated. Boom. So you’d still need to wear a mask. You’d still need to distance. And voila, boosters would...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Vaccinations can be a controversial subject for many people, especially when it comes to injections. So what if you could replace your next shot with a salad instead? Researchers at the University of California-Riverside are working on a way to grow edible plants that carry the same medication as an mRNA vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine is one of the many inoculations which use messenger RNA (mRNA) technology to defeat viruses. They work by teaching cells from the immune system to recognize and attack a certain infectious disease. Unfortunately, mRNA vaccines have to stay in cold storage until...

There are many reports of 'boom-like' sounds associated with a couple of fireball sightings from northern Virginia around 14:30 UTC on September 17 (10:30 EDT). It's possible this event produced meteorites in the northern Virginia/eastern West Virginia area. The currently available data are insufficient to determine a trajectory, but a strong fireball-like signature shows up at 14:24 UTC in the GOES 16 Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) data, permitting an estimation of the energy of this event.1 A comparison to a previous fireball with good ground and GLM data puts the brightness of this morning's meteor at magnitude -12, the same...

Joe Biden has a creepy way of making himself scarce whenever there's a crisis. He gets a lot of crises. Weekends are convenient for that, as was noted back when Afghanistan was collapsing. Biden's vacay, see, comes first, and could not be interrupted by, say, a phone call or three from Britain's prime minister, Boris Johnson. This time, Biden's going to the beach: resident Biden left the White House before noon Friday for a long weekend at his beach house and kept out of sight as the FDA rejected his push for COVID-19 vaccine “booster” shots, the Pentagon admitted it...

Over at Dark Brightness, Weka posted a quote from Vox Day which he found on Social Galactic. My days of arguing on the internets ended many cigars ago, but I am thankful that this was posted as it is quite good. The obvious counter to the pro-vaxx counter-rhetoric is also nuclear: “I’m not unvaccinated, I’m PUREBLOOD.” This is very good rhetoric which I plan to put to good use for as long as this madness lasts. How long could that be? Well, I’ve heard that it’s a total of seven shots. William Tychonievich has posted a translation of a statement...

Reported scene of Demetrius Jackson shooting in Syracuse, New York, Google Maps At about 2:30 pm on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 near 1808 Lodi Street in Syracuse New York, a 29-year-old man threatened a crowd of people with a 9mm handgun.

(WSYR-TV) — Demetrius Jackson, the man killed in the Lodi Street shooting on Tuesday, was in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun while outside of 1808 Lodi Street, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said. Jackson threatened multiple people at the location and fired the loaded handgun...

Testimony of Dr. Parks in Michigan establishes 1) The mRNA vaccines do not work against varients, they fail. 2) The mRNA vaccines create new varients. 3) The mRNA vaccines cannot be mandated, they are experimental and as such are usiung millions of humans as test subjects. The forgone conclusion? Drug therapy is much better than any mRNA vaccine.

During my time in Mexico, I had lunch with a Mexican businessman and asked him about his country's relationship with Castro's Cuba. I asked him what's the big deal? What does Mexico get out of it? He answered by saying that Mexico-Cuba relations are about keeping the left in the universities happy and showing some independence from the U.S. He concluded by telling me not to take it too seriously. Last week, Cuba's never-elected "president," Miguel Díaz-Canel, was a special guest at Mexico's Independence Day parade. He even spoke about the long historical relationship between the two countries going back...

It will be the ravishing of the nation of Israel under the anti-Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return in which Jesus Messiah will obliterate the global armies of the Anti Christ which will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace), to the nation of Israel and to the world (Dan. 2:44, 7:13-27, Zech. 12:4,14:2-4, Rev. 19:11-21). What Israel and the nations have attempted for centuries and could NEVER achieve will finally be accomplished at Almighty God the Son’s second coming to earth (Psalm 2, 24:7-10, 110, Isa....

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk mocked President Joe Biden on Sunday for neglecting to praise his aerospace company's historic, all-civilian mission to orbit. Musk recently said he would prefer to stay out of politics. But Sunday’s quip — which alluded to a Trump taunt about Biden — belied his frustration with the White House. After SpaceX completed a historic, private spaceflight on Saturday, CEO Elon Musk took a pot shot at President Joe Biden who had yet to remark on the company's and the civilian flight crew's accomplishments. One of Musk's 60 million followers on the social networking platform...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Sept. 19. GEN. FREMONT'S DIFFICULTIES. The Cabinet has not yet determined what action will take upon the reports of Postmaster BLAIR and Quartermaster MEIGS upon the condition of the Western Division, and the relations which Gen. FREMONT shall hold to the Government. As I stated yesterday, the report of Mr. BLAIR is decidedly against Gen. FREMONT, and it is probable that a decision of the case will be had to-morrow. If there is anything done against FREMONT it must be done quickly, for the Government is being strongly remonstrated with for having done so much as it has...

As I write this, I am still a federal employee, but due to being unvaxxed, that may soon change. There seems to be a deafening silence from federal employees on the topic of the COVID vaccine mandate. Perhaps this silence is due to the fear of being shunned and hated. Perhaps most support the mandate. The reason isn't clear. The purpose of this article is to discuss — from a federal employee's perspective — the potential moral and ethical impacts the vaccine mandate may have and present questions some of us will have to consider as this mandate is implemented,...

When parents go to Back To School nights at their children’s schools, they’re accustomed to the fact that the teachers have personalized “their” classrooms, filling them with materials related to the subject matter. We’ve all seen, though, the teachers who have gone too far, bringing in personal or political material that has no place in a public school. In one Los Angeles classroom, parents discovered that a teacher had turned the classroom into an homage to far-left politics. Parents Defending Education, which describes itself as “a national, grassroots nonprofit empowering parents to advocate for classrooms that educate—not indoctrinate,” obtained photos...

“I had a heart attack….” A bit more than a month ago I wrote about “My troubling COVID vaccine story experiences.” Aside from citing a friend who developed heart inflammation after taking a coronavirus genetic-therapy agent (GTA, a.k.a. a “vaccine”; more on this later), I mentioned that I’d had some unusual experiences: I encountered two men within a relatively short period of time, at the same recreational facility, who told me they’d had heart attacks — after taking SARS-CoV-2 GTAs. One man suspected the GTA induced his coronary; the other fellow was oblivious, though his attack occurred the month after...

Canadians are going to the polls on Monday to vote in an early general election. Can Prime Minister Justin Trudeau manage to win his sought-after majority? For the second time in two years, Canadians are voting in a federal election. Mr Trudeau launched the campaign mid-August, two years ahead of schedule as he seeks a third term in office.

Japan has urged European countries to speak out against China’s aggression, warning that the international community must bolster deterrence efforts against Beijing’s military and territorial expansion amid a growing risk of a hot conflict. In an interview with the Guardian, Japan’s defence minister, Nobuo Kishi, said China had become increasingly powerful politically, economically and militarily and was “attempting to use its power to unilaterally change the status quo in the East and South China Seas”, which are crucial to global shipping and include waters and islands claimed by several other nations. Tokyo had “strong concerns in regards to the safety...

On September 9, 2021, resident Biden stopped merely haranguing American citizens to get vaccinated. Going forward, he would simply force up to 100 million people to submit to vaccination whether they liked it or not. Biden didn’t mince words as he announced a federal vaccine mandate, telling unvaccinated American citizens that his patience had run out and they were responsible for a lot of damage. The backlash was swift. Unions want to negotiate vaccination requirements. South Carolina governor Henry McMaster accused the administration of thumbing its nose at the Constitution. The strongest response came from Arizona. The state filed a...
