The original article is in German, an English summary is given here: https://blogestrenos.com/german-ministry-hired-scientists-to-induce-corona-fear/ At the beginning of last year, the German Ministry of the Interno worked with several scientists on a strategy to increase fear of corona in order to foster understanding for drastic corona measures. The newspaper Die Welt reports this on the basis of a leaked email exchange. Minister of the Interno Seehofer and the scientists involved have so far not responded. Opposition parties demand clarification. The emails date from March and April 2020, when Germany was in the first lockdown. Seehofer was concerned about easing too quickly...

Back in 2008 when Barack Obama was running for the presidency I was virulently opposed to his candidacy. I was not a huge fan of John McCain, but given the two I voted for McCain. McCain was a war hero by any stretch. Not only did he fight for his country and survive five long years in the Hanoi Hilton, but when given the opportunity to leave before others who’d been there longer because the North Vietnamese wanted to curry favor with his father, he refused. I disagreed with much of what McCain did as a Senator, but I knew...

The Washington Post's lead story of Jan. 30, 2021, titled "'Be ready to fight': FBI probe of U.S. Capitol riot finds evidence detailing coordination of an assault" was written by Devlin Barrett, Spencer S. Hsu and Aaron C. Davis. It struck us as peculiar, or more particularly as a brazen example of systemic psychological manipulation. At the time when antifa and Black Lives Matter were burning and looting American cities last summer, did The Washington Post and the other major newspapers come with such headlines as "Who's coordinating and underwriting the looting and burning of American cities?" Obviously, they didn't,...

President Biden is seeking resignations from all of President Trump’s U.S. Attorneys with the exception of John Durham and David Weiss. The move will pave the way for the former veep to choose the nation’s top federal prosecutors. “The requests will affect 56 Senate-confirmed U.S. attorneys appointed by Trump. Many of Trump’s appointees already resigned,” The Week notes. However, David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware will continue to oversee a tax investigation of Hunter Biden and U.S. Attorney John Durham will keep his position as special counsel investigating the origins of the Trump-Russian investigation while resigning as U.S. attorney...

Weird that all this high-tech facial analysis equipment is never available to identity antifa terrorists. People have "identified" one maskless scofflaw in need of prosecution: The mayor of Tampa herself. By the way: Gathering outdoors is illegal again. Momentarily. Until Antifa, BLM, and/or Democrats want to gather outdoors again.

The new Netflix series will follow puppet friends Waffles and Mochi as they leave the Land of Frozen Food and embark on “global ingredient missions” with the help of Obama and a “magical, flying shopping cart,” according to the show’s official synopsis.

President Joe Biden has revoked permission that had been previously granted by the Federal Aviation Administration to Elon Musk's for his Starship prototype test. Biden said the cancellation was necessary "because Hunter told me the Chinese government has granted exclusive rights to outer space to the company he is partners with. Venturing into this now forbidden zone would constitute an unnecessary provocation and lead to potentially hostile reactions against the United States. I think it is better to concede this relatively unimportant sector than to fight over it. Besides, Musk hires too many Americans and didn't support me when I...

Alksne went on the Feb. 8 edition of Morning News Now on NBC to push impeachment against former President Donald Trump along with unhinged presidential historian Michael Beschloss. Alksne scorned the argument that Trump’s impeachment was unconstitutional as...

Tesla (TSLA) blazes another trail by becoming the first non-fintech Fortune 100 company to load up on bitcoin (BTC-USD) — amassing a $1.5 billion stake in January. Its new cryptocurrency investment may be sitting on unrealized gains of over 37%, including an 18% run-up in the price of bitcoin Tuesday morning to $47,000. According to Yahoo Finance calculations and data, Tesla’s volume-weighted average price in January was $34,200, which we use as a proxy for Tesla’s purchase price of bitcoin. Based on the $47,000 bitcoin price as of 4:30 a.m. ET on Monday, that represents a gain of roughly 37%,...

It turns out that Trump was correct that in the waves of illegal immigrants pouring over the southern border in the last decade were dozens of terrorists and terror sympathizers. In his new book, America’s Covert Border War, The Untold Story of the Nation’s Battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration, journalist and former counterterrorism intelligence official Todd Bensman found a model in Europe that could play out in the United States. There, he found 104 crossed the border. That, he told Secrets, "proved the concept that border crossings by terrorists can and does happen." Government records he reviewed showed that 22,000...

Wasting good bacon is against the law in certain parts of the South—according to some people. So if you are reading this while sniffing or inspecting a package of bacon that's been in the back of your refrigerator for an indefinite amount of time, I'll get right to the point. Whether you have opened the package or not, uncooked bacon will last for seven days in the fridge, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. That rule applies whether the bacon is thick-cut or thin, hickory or maple-smoked, the fancy stuff or the cheap stuff. You've got seven days....

Selina Soule spent years training in the hopes of securing a college scholarship and leaving behind a legacy at her high school by setting new records in track. But those plans were temporarily put on hold one day at the Connecticut Indoor Track & Field State Championships in 2019 when she placed one spot away from qualifying for the finals and the subsequent opportunity to compete at the New England Regional Championships. That meant missing a crucial opportunity to compete in front of recruiters and secure financial aid that would help alleviate the heavy burden of the cost of college...

Kiley told Fox News he felt compelled to help teachers who are frustrated by Newsom’s closure of schools in response to the pandemic. He said he’s spoken to many teachers who want to be back in their classrooms but "are being barred from doing so by their union or by the governor himself." Newsom’s early response to the pandemic was widely praised, but his favorability ratings have plummeted in recent months as his draconian lockdown measures took their toll on businesses and children’s mental health. Newsom has said he will not force public schools to reopen but instead wants to...

Time magazine's article intones the 'Trump is crazy' mantra over his claims of a 'rigged' election while telling anyone who reads it how powerful people conspired to rig the 2020 election.Time magazine's article intones the 'Trump is crazy' mantra over his claims of a 'rigged' election while telling anyone who reads it how powerful people conspired to rig the 2020 election. Corporate media has spent the last year arguing that Donald Trump’s claims about 2020 election integrity amount to “seditious” conspiracy theories. While maintaining that narrative despite the cognitive dissonance, Time magazine’s Feb. 15 cover story pulls back the curtain...
