We are going to need a new industry that simply spends its time fact-checking the so-called “fact-checkers.” That’s the story after a new landmark study published in The Lancet offered vindication to everyone who touted natural immunity to COVID-19 as an alternative to vaccination. For years, the powers that be, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House, and the press, dismissed the idea of taking natural immunity into account when debating vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. They were wrong, so much so that even the mainstream media are having to admit it. ... This study also puts to rest another...

Mark Twain is often misattributed as saying, “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” The sentiment is definitely Twainesque, but he never said it. Nevertheless, it’s still true and demonstrable time and again in our post-truth society.As more “normies” have started waking up to the reality that the Covid-19 “vaccines” are ineffective and dangerous, a lot are finding news way of defending their decisions to get jabbed rather than admitting it was a mistake. Conservative comic Scott Adams, who is most famous for creating the Dilbert comics, is not one of those people....

Over the past two years or so, the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) influence over governments and institutions of sovereign nations has become increasingly apparent. Founded in 1971 by German economist Klaus Schwab, the WEF has remained fairly under the radar for decades. However, the organization has been quietly expanding its icy grip around the throats of the world’s population by installing operatives in the upper echelons of governments and corporations. This influence has expanded so far that Schwab and his allies appear to have given up trying to conceal their agenda and even openly gloat about controlling nations’ leaders. When...

Leaders of the Group of 20 (G-20) have issued a joint declaration promoting a global standard on proof of vaccination for international travel and calling for the establishment of “global digital health networks” that build on existing digital COVID-19 vaccine passport schemes. The joint statement followed the conclusion of the G-20 summit held in Bali, Indonesia, where leaders discussed global challenges and coordinating policies in response, including to future pandemics. “We acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods, under the framework of the IHR (2005), to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability, and recognizing digital solutions and non-digital...

f you refused to buy into the official narrative about the COVID shots, you likely found yourself on the receiving end of hateful attacks and rejection. Some of those zealots may now realize they were wrong, but few want to talk about it. How are you choosing to move forward? Fomenting hatred is a tool of tyrants, and over the past two years, political leaders, agency heads, academics, medical professionals and media personalities alike have publicly encouraged hatred and violence and wished painful death upon anyone who didn’t want to be part of the medical experiment that is the COVID...

Democratic Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly on Friday vetoed a bill to limit the power of state health officials to mandate measures for contagious diseases, including face masks and vaccine passports. Kelly said the bill went beyond COVID-19 and would considerably limit government response to any infectious disease outbreak. Senate Bill 34, brought by the Republican-controlled Legislature, sought to curb the power of government agencies as well as state and local health officials in response to COVID-19 mandates imposed during the pandemic. Amendments to the Kansas Emergency Management Act would prohibit the mandating of protective mask requirements (pdf), except for hospitals...

The Social Credit Score System is silently being implemented around the world.

Jason Kenney's 'statement is completely false and, in fact, misinformation,' Nathaniel Pawlowski said in response to Kenney's justification for why Nathaniel's father has been locked up for more than a month. CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – The son of Canadian Christian Pastor Artur Pawlowski alleged that Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is lying about the reasons his dad is still behind bars. “The double standard and hypocrisy is clear as day. Artur is right now being presumed guilty, so we no longer have the presumption of innocence in Alberta. Thanks to Jason Kenney,” said Pawlowski’s son Nathaniel while speaking at a prayer...

The group called it an “unprecedented abuse of power” by city leadership.. A group of Orthodox Jewish New Yorkers and a Catholic businessman have dropped their lawsuit against the city’s vaccine passport program after the restrictions were lifted last week. The group of five Orthodox Jews, which include a rabbi, along with one Catholic, filed a federal lawsuit against New York Democratic Mayor Eric Adams and his health commissioner last month over the city’s COVID-19 “vaccine passport” program, dubbed “Key to NYC.” The group called the vaccine passports “discriminatory and unconstitutional” and said it was an “unprecedented abuse of power”...

Four weeks from tomorrow the first round of France's Presidenial Election and a Ukraine induced pattern has emerged for the election that puts the incumbent "Globalist" Emmanuel Macron in the apparent driver's seat. He leads Marine Le Pen of the National Rally in the first round and then when the two of them move onto the second round he wins by 12 percentage points perhaps more. The lesser known candidates fading in the polls some now show Left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon sitting on third place at 13 percent. Today in Northern France a very traditional Yellow Vests protest at a...

Vaccine and mask mandates are being dropped precipitously across the United States, as the campaigning for this fall's midterm elections heats up. Also, the number of deaths and the number of COVID cases is dropping rapidly. Some might say the U.S. is returning to normalcy. But a new report in Forbes suggests that new norm will include digital vaccine passports. To be used to travel, to access venues and much more. "A paper CDC vaccination card is not cutting it," said the report. "While the United States government has not issued a federal digital vaccine pass, a national standard has...

There is already an impressively widespread availability of SMART Health Cards in the U.S. More than 200 million Americans can now download, print or store their vaccination records as a QR code. When the QR code is pulled up, only the individual’s name, date of birth and vaccination information is visible. No other medical information or personal data is shared. This code is also digitally signed to ensure that the card was issued from a verified location and to prevent forgery.

Say what you will about the far-right fanaticism of many of the leaders of the convoy insurrection, Fluker wrote that “we … find ourselves here today because of decisions made by the executive branch of governments in most provinces that have shown almost no regard for basic democratic practices.” “Slowly but surely over the course of two years, voluntary compliance with the COVID-19 rules was going to end because the rules were (1) too often announced for the first time, and without any advance public notice, at media scrums; (2) made with little or no explanation for where the lines...

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was loudly heckled by anti-mandate protesters as she left an event in Westport on Wednesday. She was visiting Westport on Wednesday to attend a briefing on recent flooding in the area, where she viewed a slideshow of the flood's impacts. Protesters outside the building where Ardern was in appeared to be from the group Voices for Freedom. Some protesters interviewed by 1News said they were against vaccination mandates among many other issues. A man was also filmed hurling abuse at media present. The protesters heckled and yelled at Ardern-some swearing-as she left the venue where she...

Police Commissioner Andrew Coster says an alternative to police's de-escalation approach towards anti-mandate protesters would involve tear gas and batons being deployed on Parliament's grounds. Coster told Q=A'2 Jack Tame that police were taking its existing de-escalation approach as it believed the alternative of a forceful pushback could not be justified. "I think police could clear the protest, but I don't think the harm that would come from how we need to do that is acceptable relative to the harm that the protest is doing," he said. "The balance we have here is keeping the peace and enforcing the law....

Ontario will end its vaccine passport requirements on March 1, 2022, the province announced Monday in a press release. Claiming “key public health and health system indicators” are “continuing to improve,” the province announced it will ease the next set of restrictions this week, on February 17, increasing social gathering limits at a variety of places. Indoor social gathering spaces will see a capacity increase to 50, and indoor public settings where proof of vaccination is required will have capacity limits removed completely. That includes restaurants, bars, cinemas, casinos, and fitness facilities. However, the major changes will begin on March...
