Dr. Malone: 29,790 Official Deaths Linked to Vaccine in VAERS Likely a Tiny Fraction of True Number (Part 1)

Compared to the tyrannical political establishment, the freedom movement in Melbourne in Australia's leftist police state of Victoria is small and narrow - but it is tenacious, awake and beautiful. Pauline is engaged, charming and thoughtful. As a nurse forced out of work by her refusal to take the vaccine, she forms a a potent protest duo with her niece Mel, also a nurse forced out of work by her refusal to take the vaccine. https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/tag/good-nurse-mel/ Such family strength can grow stronger, while tyranny inevitably turns in on itself and dies. They are the teachers who show others the way...

The Senate on Sunday passed the Democrats’ sweeping economic package that would allocate billions of taxpayer dollars to facilitate the expansion of the Internal Revenue Service’s workforce. The IRS would receive $80 billion if H.R. 5376, the $750 billion “Inflation Reduction Act” passes the House and lands on Biden’s desk. The funding would mark a 600 percent increase from 2021 when the bureau received $12.6 billion. The reconciliation package would also double the current IRS workforce by hiring an additional 87,000 employees to the bureau’s staff of 78,661 employees, a move that would make the IRS larger than the Pentagon,...

WTI oil prices have given up nearly all their gains since Russia invaded Ukraine, falling roughly 9.5% over the course of the week amid fears oil demand is collapsing. Some oil pundits are now claiming that the Biden administration has been fabricating low gasoline demand data in order to drag prices lower. While Gasbuddy claims there was a 2% rise in gasoline demand last week, the EIA reported a 7.6% drop in demand. [SNIP] The collapse in oil prices has been so epic and unexpected that some oil pundits are now accusing the Biden administration of fabricating low gas demand...

In 2015, Donald Trump burst on the scene with a megaphone, a populist message, an army of grassroots supporters — and not much else. If he runs for the Republican nomination again, as seems likely, it will be different. Early in his first presidential campaign, he had to be grateful for every small crumb of support from Republican officialdom — an endorsement from then-U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, or former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Now, Trump is a former president of United States who looms incredibly large over his party. He and his loyalists have forged a new establishment —...

Dutch farmers and the government failed to reach a deal on Friday on environmental plans that have sparked weeks of angry demonstrations. Farmers have blocked roads with manure and set fires to protest against plans to reduce livestock and even close some farms to cut down on nitrogen emissions. Talks on Friday produced "really too little", said Sjaak van der Tak, head of the LTO, the main Dutch farming union, adding that the "ball is in the government's court". The official overseeing the talks, Johan Remkes, said there was "grave crisis of confidence" between the farmers and the government of...

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Idaho, seeking to block the state’s trigger law which will ban abortions — with a few exceptions — beginning Aug. 25. Announcing the lawsuit in an Aug. 2 press conference, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the DOJ is suing the state because of a supposed conflict with a federal law that requires hospitals to provide stabilizing treatment to a person experiencing a medical emergency, regardless of their ability to pay. The lawsuit is the first legal challenge brought by the federal government against a state abortion restriction since the U.S....

The same day the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that county prosecutors could enforce the state’s pre-Roe abortion ban, a judge issued a temporary restraining order to block its enforcement.(LifeSiteNews) — A judge temporarily blocked enforcement of Michigan’s pre-Roe abortion ban upon the request of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. After a state court ruled August 1 that local prosecutors could enforce the 1931 ban, Judge Jacob Cunningham issued a temporary restraining order later that day to block the law’s enforcement, according to the Detroit Free Press. Cunningham wrote that “(Whitmer) has established that (prosecutors’) public statements that they will consider a...

Legendary Jiu-jitsu fighter Leandro Lo was fatally shot Sunday at a Sao Paulo concert, according to reports. A lawyer for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion confirmed that his client, 33, died after being declared brain-dead from the shooting, according to a report by MMA Fighting. The killing allegedly took place during a confrontation between Lo and Police Officer Henrique Otávio Oliveira Velozo, the outlet reported. Witnesses said Velozo grabbed a bottle from Lo’s table and that the fighter took the cop down and held him, according to the outlet, citing a police report. After the pair were separated, Velozo allegedly...

When a significant number of House Republicans voted for a recent bill to recognize same-sex marriage at the federal level, those who most vocally made the case for the legislation were the younger members, especially Kat Cammack of Florida. The split in the GOP vote, with 47 voting in favor and 157 against, mirrors the divide within the wider conservative movement. At Young America’s Foundation’s National Conservative Student Conference last week, several students spoke to National Review about their receptiveness to a national gay-marriage law. But their views incorporated a respect not only for religious freedom but for the religious...

'Star Wars' character Obi-Wan Kenobi only became more powerful after he was defeated. So if Rep. Liz Cheney is ousted from her leadership role by House Republicans, could she actually become a bigger foil for the party's Trump loyalists backing 'the big lie'? We discuss that with Cornell Belcher and Michael Steele.

[Catholic Caucus] Rigidity: Behave Like Men Not Like AmoebasThe Buenos Aires historian Antonio Caponnetto, 70, wrote on NcSanJuanBautistas.com.ar (August 1) a Praise of Rigidity. Highlights.• Francis suffers from an obsessive ideological fixation on rigidity.• He cries out against “rigidity” but is the cruel head of a structure of stiffening, punishing and harshness against those he considers his contradictors.• Francis’ rigidity is the self-righteous rigidity of the traitor of Christ and is directed against Catholics whom he never misses an opportunity to demean.• The dictionary tells us that rigidity is the capacity of a body to resist bending under the action...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pushed their election-year economic package to Senate passage Sunday, a hard-fought compromise less ambitious than President Joe Biden’s original domestic vision but one that still meets deep-rooted party goals of slowing global warming, moderating pharmaceutical costs and taxing immense corporations. Nonpartisan analysts have said the 755-page “Inflation Reduction Act” would have a minor effect on surging consumer prices.

On August 6, 2022, @elhasani_yousef posted on Twitter a video of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) commander Taysir Al-Jabari, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza the previous day, speaking to PIJ fighters. Al-Jabari said that the PIJ and its Al-Quds Brigades, its military wing, are the “fighting front” of the resistance in Palestine, and that they oppose the “axis” that normalizes relations with Israel. He said that this requires Jihad and patience, and he told the fighters that in Paradise, they will forget all the troubles and hardships of this life. He said: “Everything you do should aways...

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee agree that FBI Director Christopher Wray needs to be better at his job, but their attempts to rein in the incompetence and scandal plaguing a multitude of federal agencies, including intelligence agencies, just aren’t cutting it. Several Republicans have signaled they plan to investigate corrupt and partisan bureaucrats such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Wray if they win back Congress in the November midterms. For now, while Democrats control the White House and the legislative branch, the GOP has resorted to letters and the occasional “oversight hearing” that accomplishes little.. If Republicans’ failure to...

Inflation has been taking its toll on retirees, especially those who rely solely on Social Security. But have no fear, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and seven Democratic cosponsors recently introduced S. 4365, the Social Security Expansion Act, a bill to enhance Social Security benefits and ensure the long-term solvency of the Social Security program. If this bill passes, retirees 62 and over would start to receive an additional $200 a month in benefits beginning in January 2023. Most retirees rely heavily on Social Security benefits, and for some it’s their only source of income. Currently, Americans will stop receiving their...

Black New Yorkers are more likely to fall ill during heat waves due to “structural racism,” the city’s Department of Health says. A Thursday letter from officials to medical workers warns that extreme heat “is the deadliest type of extreme weather” and that black people are twice as likely to die from heat stroke as white people in the Big Apple.
