VIDEOYou won't see this part of the Department Of Defense Inspector General Report in much of the media (or at the J6 Committee) about the events of January 6 which completely DESTROYS the narrative fable hyped by the J6 Kangaroo Committee that President Donald Trump was derelict in his duty to provide protection for the Capitol. As you can clearly see on page 31 of the report, President Trump urged that there be troops provided for the protection of the Capitol on January 6. This was according to General Mark Milley who now pretends that President Trump did nothing so...

Every weekend, Kseniya Abramova and her mother pile her fluffy white Samoyed and six cats into their car for the five–hour drive from St. Petersburg to work in their garden, where they hope to grow enough fruit, vegetables and nuts to last the year. Like many Russians, Ms. Abramova is trying to protect against high inflation and potential food-supply disruptions related to sanctions imposed after the country’s invasion of Ukraine. “Everything is ridiculously expensive. It’s a catastrophe. So we are plowing away in the garden from dawn till dusk,” Ms. Abramova said.

The invincible ignorance of the green agenda was laid bare earlier this week in Spain when, after having already started a forest fire this summer, an exponentially worse blaze was kindled by a company planting trees. Land Life is a reforestation company based out of the Netherlands that embarks on projects around the world in the name of creating carbon offsets by planting trees in an attempt to counterbalance the impact of fossil fuel usage on the climate. Their boast of an innovative business approach utilizing blockchain technology to drive solutions for land restoration was nothing short of disastrous Monday...

Candidate for New York governor Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) was assaulted at a campaign event by Democrat David Jakubonis. Jakubonis was armed with a ninja-style stabbing weapon. Zeldin and a couple of his supporters were able to fend off the would-be murderer who prematurely boasted “you’re done” to his intended victim. The assailant was later released without bail. Ironically, Zeldin’s speech included sharp criticism of the state’s no-bail law. Zeldin’s opponent Governor Kathy Hochul (D) refused to condemn the attacker, saying that “my opponent and his extremist supporters are spreading dangerous lies and misinformation as part of their far-right agenda.”...

In a move that is sure to trigger widespread discussion concerning the independence, objectivity and wisdom of granting authority to the WHO to manage global infectious diseases responses, the monkeypox outbreak has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization. The declaration was made unilaterally, in direct contradiction of independent review panel advice, by WHO director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Tedros made the declaration despite a lack of consensus among members of the WHO’s emergency committee on the monkeypox outbreak, and in so doing overruled his own review panel, who had voted 9 against,...

The draft board sends Arnold Ziffel a conscription notice without realizing he is a pig.

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies.[3,6,57] We have witnessed a long list of unprecedented intrusions into medical practice, including attacks on medical experts, destruction of medical careers among doctors refusing to participate in killing their patients and a massive regimentation of health care, led by non-qualified individuals with enormous wealth, power and influence. For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining...

On exami[ni]ng hair samples of mummies in the scanning electron microscope we found a piece of tissue between the curls which had the characteristic appearance of silk. To show that the specimen was silk, we performed infrared studies using multiple internal reflection, allowing nondestructive identification of the material. The spectra clearly identified silk.We performed amino-acid anaylsis of the sample according to the method in ref. 2 and obtained the typical spectrum of hydrolysed silk, with high glycine, serine and alanine peaks as originally described by Shimura. To exclude the possibility that the silk specimen could have been added later to...

The auto industry gambles its finances on big electric vehicles for the rich, like Ford’s Mustang Mach-E and GM’s Hummer EV, and second-rate cars for everybody else. OK. Buyers aren’t drawn to the electric Mustang or Ford’s new F-150 Lightning pickup to solve climate change. These are exciting, high-tech gadgets in their own right. And that’s fine. Even so, customers’ appetite might slacken if they were told the truth. Ford leaked this week for the benefit of the investment community plans to lay off thousands of workers to fatten the profits of its conventional vehicles. As Ford CEO Jim Farley...

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is saying it has performed vaccine safety data mining and analyses since early 2021, a reversal from a recent letter. The CDC said in an operating procedures document dated Jan. 29, 2021, that it “will perform” a type of data mining analysis of vaccine safety data called Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR). The public health agency also said it would conduct routine surveillance of the data, which is being logged into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. The data mining and surveillance were aimed at detecting adverse events occurring at higher-than-expected rates....

“Then a scribe came and said to Him, ‘Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.’ Jesus said to him, ‘The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head’” (Matthew 8:19–20). The issue of commitment is one to be evaluated very carefully. The scribe here was an authority on Jewish law and a close ally of the Pharisees. As such he would have broken with his allies had he become one of Jesus’ true disciples. He knew a decision like that would be costly, and thus...

Former President Donald Trump highlighted the “stark” economic contrast between his administration’s “amazing success” and President Joe Biden’s “breathtaking failure” while speaking at the Save America rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, Friday night.“You could take the five worst presidents in American history and put them together, and they would not have done the damage Joe Biden has done to our country in less than two short years,” Trump said early in his remarks, which were streamed by C-SPAN. “Less than two years ago, when I was in office, gas — gasoline — a thing called gasoline … nobody wants to...

Paris (AFP) – Air-conditioned shops in France will be ordered to keep their doors closed or risk being fined, a minister said Sunday announcing an upcoming rule to combat energy wastage. Leaving the doors open when the air conditioning is on leads to "20 percent more consumption and... it's absurd," French Minister of Ecological Transition Agnes Pannier-Runacher told RMC radio. The minister said there were also plans to restrict the use of illuminated signs. "In the coming days, I will issue two decrees: the first will widen the ban on illuminated advertising, whatever the size of the city, between 1...

The Jan. 6 Committee began the dramatic finale of its summer series Thursday night with the announcement of a second season after its seven two-hour show trials failed to yield the desired results of partisan panel members. “We have far more evidence to share with the American people and more to gather,” said committee Vice-Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., at the onset of the hearing, which was supposed to be a final performance. The following two and a half hours, however, illustrated why lawmakers might feel their work is unfinished: The finale failed to be the summer showstopper it was made...

As a single mom with a full-time job, Wendy Ahrenkiel had little time for politics. But after the 2020 election, when Joe Biden was declared President, she felt cheated — and found the time. Ahrenkiel, 47, has heard the arguments in the mainstream media about how claims of a stolen election in 2020 are unsupported by credible evidence. But she still doesn’t buy it. “I thought that there's a lot of funny things that went on with the election,” she told CNN. “That made me just do my own research.” That research led her to talk politics with friends —...

The authors of a New York University’s Center for Human Rights and Global Justice report on digital identity systems warned of “severe and potentially irreversible” human rights violations and argued for open debate “with full transparency and involving all relevant stakeholders.” The authors of a new report on digital identity systems warned “the actual and potential” human rights violations arising from the digital ID model can be “severe and potentially irreversible.” The 100-page report — “Paving the Road to Hell? A Primer on the Role of the World Bank and Global Networks in Promoting Digital ID” — published by New...
