Amazon’s cloud business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), experienced issues Wednesday, taking multiple internet services offline. AWS posted a notice on its service health dashboard early Wednesday saying it was “investigating increased EC2 launch failures and networking connectivity issues for some instances in a single Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) in the US-EAST-1 Region,” The Verge reported. The incident reportedly affected “a single data center within a single Availability Zone (USE1-AZ4) in the US-EAST-1 Region.” The incident resulted in widespread outages for various online services and applications across the world. Internet services outages are currently impacting the Epic Games Store, affecting logins, library,...

Over 90% of the population 12-or-older in the United Kingdom has been vaccinated and 55% have received their first (of many) booster shots. Despite being “protected” from Covid-19, they are experiencing their worst surge in cases since the beginning of the pandemic, prompting many to question whether the “vaccines” actually do anything to stop or even slow the spread. In fact, the average daily cases reported this week are nearly four times as high as they were before anyone in the nation had been jabbed. The first vaccine administered in the UK was on December 8, 2020. At that point,...

U.S. health regulators on Wednesday authorized the first pill against COVID-19, a Pfizer drug that Americans will be able to take at home to head off the worst effects of the virus. The oral drug, Paxlovid, is a faster, cheaper way to treat early COVID-19 infections, though initial supplies will be extremely limited. All of the previously authorized drugs against the disease require an IV or an injection. An antiviral pill from Merck also is expected to soon win authorization. But Pfizer's drug is all but certain to be the preferred option because of its mild side effects and superior...

“Why are we allowing someone that makes $500,000 to get a discount on an electric vehicle? That doesn’t make any sense to me at all,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) declared while stopping Biden’s $2 trillion boondoggle misnamed the Build Back Better (BBB) Act. The socialists seeking to control our energy have no satisfactory answer to Senator Manchin’s criticism. Biden’s BBB would rob from the poor and middle class, to give to the elite under the guise of climate change. The BBB includes a whopping $7,500 tax credit to purchase electric vehicles, which would mostly benefit the wealthy. The legislation also...

A group of lawyers, activists and whistleblowers that includes former Pfizer Vice President Dr. Michael Yeadon filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court at the Hague against Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Bill and Melinda Gates, the chief executives of Big Pharma “vaccine” manufacturers, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, alleging crimes against humanity. Yeadon is a citizen of the U.K. who has made several whistleblower videos describing the horrific damage that the Covid injections are causing and will continue to cause among men, women and children of all ages who receive them. Unlike other...

A government panel of experts in Israel has recommended a fourth dose of a Covid-19 vaccine for all people aged over 60 and healthcare workers. The move was welcomed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who said it would help the country get through a potential wave of the Omicron variant. The Israeli health ministry has so far confirmed 341 cases of Omicron. The overall Covid-19 infection rate is also back on the rise, with 903 new cases recorded on Tuesday.

U.S. health regulators on Wednesday authorized the first pill against COVID-19, a Pfizer drug that Americans will be able to take at home to head off the worst effects of the virus. The long-awaited milestone comes as U.S. cases, hospitalizations and deaths are all rising and health officials warn of a tsunami of new infections from the omicron variant that could overwhelm hospitals. The drug, Paxlovid, is a faster, cheaper way to treat early COVID-19 infections, though initial supplies will be extremely limited. All of the previously authorized drugs against the disease require an IV or an injection. -snip- The...

Bill Gates said he called off his holiday plans as the omicron variant ushers in what he predicts could be the "worst part of the pandemic." He also predicted, however, that the current surge in COVID-19 cases could be over within months, and the pandemic itself may end next year “if we take the right steps.” “Just when it seemed like life would return to normal, we could be entering the worst part of the pandemic,” he tweeted on Tuesday. "Omicron will hit home for all of us. Close friends of mine now have it, and I’ve canceled most of...

Among those who followed the campus culture wars of the 2010s, the name of Yale sociology professor Nicholas Christakis will ring an instant bell. For the uninitiated: in 2015, Christakis, then the master of Yale’s Silliman College, ran afoul of the campus mob after his wife, fellow professor Erika Christakis, dared to question the woke orthodoxy on culturally appropriative Halloween costumes. As punishment for being married to a thoughtcriminal, Christakis ended up alone in a Yale courtyard, surrounded by dozens of angry students who took turns berating him as he tried in vain to reason with them. The ugly incident...

What historical figure is the city of Washington D.C. named after? That SHOULD be common sense, right? Well, not anymore. Media analyst Mark Dice asks random beachgoers in San Diego who our nation's Capital is named after and you'll see their answers are sad and shocking. Many Americans are getting dumber by the day. You better wake up before it's too late.

Expandable campers have really been pushing above and beyond simple pop-tops into more advanced forms, like transforming Cybertruck A-frames, stretchable off-road teardrops, and flip-open truck-top tents. Germany's ICC Offroad played a big role in the rotating Flip90 pickup camper, and it also has another expanding camper design in the pipeline. Its FlexCamp prototype is designed to start the journey as a basic trailer or pickup-top box, expanding up and out at camp to become a cozy micro-cabin for a family of four. ICC Offroad is developing the FlexCamp to meet the demand for a compact, four-season, off-road-ready camping solution. With...

Dubbed the “goth home” by Twitter user Zillow Gone Wild, this single-family dwelling stands out by being so dark. But after installing a new all-black shingle roof, Goodman went a step further and had the entire exterior redone with black gutters and matching vinyl siding. Goodman loved the look so much he took a page from Mick Jagger’s playbook and said “paint it black” for the interior.

U.S. consumer confidence improved by much more than expected in the month of December. The report showed the consumer confidence index climbed to 115.8 in December from an upwardly revised 111.9 in November. Economists had been expecting the consumer confidence index to inch up to 110.7 from the 109.5 originally reported for the previous month. The bigger than expected increase by the headline index reflected an improvement in consumer expectations,

Omicron should be a cause for celebration, not fear. Its symptoms are mild to nonexistent in the majority of the infected, especially the vaccinated; hospitalization rates are over nine times lower than for previous COVID strains; deaths are negligible. The only public health experts whom the media quote are those determined to put the most dire spin on Omicron. There are apparently no circumstances that would warrant a less-than-totalitarian response in advance of any actual disaster. The yearning for more draconian lockdowns and more control over the private sector is palpable. The South African data should lead any coverage of...

This is an article written by Luis Vega re technology developed to alter human behavior. It starts out from a speech re future speculation in 1995. Seems it has come to pass, also gives examples of where the military may have used it. links below. Full article in comments section. The purpose of this report is to transcribe and highlight the portion of a presentation given by a Canadian Theology Professor, Dr. Pierre Gilbert. It was given during a Lecture on Eschatology or the Study of End Times warned in 1995 or 1996 at a Conference. He predicted that Mandatory...

The pseudo-medical geniuses at Facebook partner Lead Stories tried to fact-check the British Medical Journal. Then they somehow claimed those actions weren’t censorship. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) responded to a bizarre “fact-check” by Lead Stories of its bombshell report headlined: “Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial.” The report in question revealed how “Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company helping to carry out Pfizer’s pivotal covid-19 vaccine trial raise questions about data integrity and regulatory oversight.” But Lead Stories Managing Editor Dean Miller, who isn’t a medical professional, wrote a...

Lesions (red) occur near areas that must stretch more to accommodate pressure changes of the circulating cerebrospinal fluid. When the walls of the CSF-filled ventricle (black) wear thin, CSF leaks into the brain tissue (grey) and creates lesions. Credit: Stevens Institute of Technology Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology show that strain on ventricular walls explains where lesions develop in the aging brain. As our brains age, small lesions begin to pop up in the bundles of white matter that carry messages between our neurons. The lesions can damage this white matter and lead to cognitive deficits. Now, researchers at...

By removing three dirty cops from the witness list, the Justice Department hopes to prevent any cross-examination during the trial and, one supposes, any link to January 6. As questions mount about the government’s animating role in the Capitol protest on January 6, the criminal case against the men charged with conspiring to “kidnap” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 continues to collapse. Defense attorneys in the Whitmer case are carefully compiling evidence that depicts an elaborate tale of FBI entrapment; at least a dozen FBI informants were involved in the failed plot—equaling one FBI asset per defendant. FBI agents...
