**10 Climate Change Myths Debunked.**
Nothing stirs up debate more than the issue of climate change.

There are three schools of thought on this matter:
**1) “It’s happening, and we better do something about it ASAP.”**
**2) “It’s not settled science so we should wait and see.”**
**3) “Do I need an umbrella today?”**

In other words, you have the *believers*, *deniers*, and *those not really thinking all that much about it*. Let’s stipulate for further reading that this post will take the “believer” approach (A.K.A. the convergence of evidence presented by science). If you’re looking for a way to join in on the conversation and want to take on the skeptics (*global warming skeptics AKA deniers*… not to be confused with those who practice scientific skepticism), then embracing a few of these debunked myths will make you the smartest person in the room – or Facebook.

**Myth #1: “Baby, It’s Cold Outside, So Case Closed”**
Here’s the big thing most people get tripped up on – the difference between climate and weather. Weather is what’s happening outdoors today. It’s going to change tomorrow. Cold, hot, humid, snow, rain – those are all current potential weather conditions that taken as a whole create climate. In other words, climate is the average weather pattern based on years of collected data. So, what’s the climate trend based on current data? That would be warming.

Ironically, the global warming that impacts the frozen Arctic Sea could be influencing the jet stream with cooler air. Just because ice melts doesn’t mean it’s going to be hot air. If you have a big now storm in Canada and you say, “*So much for global warming!*“, then you need to brush up on your understand of weather VS climate.

**Myth #2: “Climate Has Always Changed” You are correct.**
The Earth’s climate naturally changes when left alone.
The key phrase there is, “*when left alone*.”
The problem with today’s climate change (see above) is that a human factor drives its *rapid* increase. Therefore, it’s not being left alone. We’re creating vast amounts CO₂ released into the atmosphere and causing the much-maligned greenhouse effect. This is the first time in human history when you can trace back those warming trends to human activity. It’s important to note the rapid *rate* of warming. Yes, kids, its science.

**Myth #3: “People Like It Warmer Than Cold Ergo Climate**
**Change Is Good”** Don’t get caught up in the weather vs. climate issue.
Yes, the majority of individuals on the planet might prefer warmth to cold. However, with that warmth also comes the potential for increased flooding along the coast and droughts further inland. That can have a direct impact on two vital commodities: real estate and food. According to the EPA, “Changes in temperature, amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂), and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather could have significant impacts on crop yields.”

**Myth #4: “Plants Need CO₂ Which Means We’re Helping Them ”**
**Not quite.** While it is true that plants require CO₂ to flourish, *too much* CO₂ can actually cause those same plants great harm. Even crops will become less nutritious when bombarded with high levels of CO₂. For the sake of your next salad, ride a bike or take a bus. Still not convinced? Here’s 6 pieces of evidence to consider:
CO2 enhanced plants require extra water to maintain their larger growth as well as to compensate for greater moisture evaporation.
Our methods of agriculture do not self-fertilize, so more artificial fertilizers will be required, ultimately increasing the price of food.
If the concentration of CO2 is too high, there’s a reduction in photosynthesis in certain plants. With wheat, for example, it also reduces the nutritional quality.
Increased CO2, as mentioned earlier, does provide a boost in growth, but this is limited by the nitrogen plateau, which truncates this benefit.
Many plants’ chemistry changes, making them more vulnerable to insects.
Finally, added CO2 will likely shrink the range available to plants while increasing the size of deserts. Tropical, forest, and grasslands will try to migrate towards the poles. Unfortunately, it does not follow that soil conditions will necessarily favor their growth even at optimum temperatures.

**Myth #5: “The Debate about Climate Change Is Unsettled”**
You’ll often hear the number 97% bantered about concerning climate change. That refers to **97% of scientists supporting that climate change is happening and is being accelerated by humans**. Actually, when you dig into the numbers, you’ll find that 100% of all scientists agree that humans are contributing to changes in climate. The debate (or that missing 3%) has to do with what *kind* of impact that change will have on the planet.
Here’s the thing about peer review science: It is peer reviewed. That means a majority of like-minded scientists take a look at a paper or research and deem it quantifiable. If you want to get wonky, then try dig into *Quantifying the Consensus on Anthropogenic Global Warming in the Scientific Literature.* Enjoy.

Ok, it’s long. Here’s the TLDR; The public perception of a scientific consensus on AGW is a necessary element in public support for climate policy (Ding et al 2011). However, there is a significant gap between public perception & reality, with 57 percent of the US public either disagreeing or unaware that scientists overwhelmingly agree earth is warming due to human activity (Pew 2012).

**Myth #6: “You Can’t Trust Climate Scientists Because They’re Just Cashing In On Fear”** Let’s go to the Government Accountability Office.
This is the group who follows the money. They found that although spending increased between 1993 and 2004 for climate change related projects, most of that money when towards conservation programs. The money that went into actual research dropped from 56% to 39%. So, if you’re a scientist hoping to score a big grant to check temperatures, it probably isn’t going to happen.

**Myth #7: “It’s the Sun’s Fault”**
“The planet’s heat comes from the sun, so it’s the sun’s fault that things are getting warmer.” That sounds logical but let’s go to the scientific data backing up those claims. Crickets. As in, there isn’t any statistically significant trend in tracking cosmic rays. Nice try.

Source: NASA

Raymond Bradley of UMass, who has studied historical records of solar activity imprinted by radioisotopes in tree rings and ice cores, says regional rainfall seems to be more affected than temperature. “If there is indeed a solar effect on climate, it is manifested by changes in general circulation rather than in a direct temperature signal.” This fits in with the conclusion of the IPCC and previous NRC reports that solar variability is NOT the cause of global warming over the last 50 years.

**Myth #8: “It Was Way Warmer During Medieval Times”**
There are a few deniers who like to assert “studies” that show that it was a lot warmer during medieval times. Perhaps there were a few letters written by knights complaining of how stuffy it was in all that armor. However, any true data presented is based on mere conjecture. Plus, that date would be focused on just a few regions and not the entire planet. You know, all those places weren’t even “discovered” during Medieval times.
Here’s the thing: the Medieval Warm Period was **not** a global phenomenon. Warmer conditions were concentrated in certain regions. Some regions were even colder than during the Little Ice Age. To claim the Medieval Warm Period was warmer than today is to narrowly focus on a few regions that showed unusual warmth. However, when we look at the broader picture,
we see that the Medieval Warm Period was a regional phenomenon with other regions showing strong cooling.
You want data? Skeptical Science has it.
The image below shows a reconstructed surface temperature anomaly for Medieval Warm Period (950 to 1250 A.D.), relative to the 1961– 1990 reference period. Gray areas indicate regions where adequate temperature
data are unavailable.

Now let’s compare it to today (or close to “today”). The image below demonstrates the surface temperature anomaly for the period 1999 to 2008, relative to the 1961– 1990 reference period. Gray areas indicate regions where adequate temperature data are unavailable (NOAA).

**Boom: Roasted. (literally)**

**Myth #9: “Even If It Is A Problem It Will Cost Too Much To Fix”**
Try taking that same approach to replacing your brake pads. There is no denying that making a total switch to renewable energies is going to cost a lot of money in the short term. However, the long-term impact of inaction could end up being far more costly. Not to mention, the economic gains that come from innovation and development of new energy systems in the industrial, commercial, and residential spaces.

**Myth #10: “China Isn’t Doing Anything, So We Shouldn’t Either”**
Actually, China is doing something about climate change. This notion that the U.S. shouldn’t do anything because the rest of the world is still polluting borders on the juvenile. When you do take a strong position, others will follow. It’s called leadership as the number one country in the world.
The facts are in. Scientific proof does support claims that climate change is real. As believers it’s not only important to reduce our own carbon footprints, but to spread the word about climate change and climate change initiatives. What are you going to do to help the planet? Are you a believer now?

Climate change is an obvious myth – how much more evidence do you need?
Climate change is merely amplified by man’s actions…

True climate change is driven by the earth’s orbit, wobbles, and wiggles.
Many people just refuse to accept the facts that surround them, even if we saw 100 more years of it plain and apparent

Climate change is a myth. We all know this, deep down. Some of you reading this may have been taken in by the fear-mongering governments or corrupt scientists so have been brainwashed into thinking climate change is a real thing that “threatens all of humanity” or some other nonsense, but it’s just that: nonsense. When you look closely at it, the so-called evidence for climate change, or “global warming” or “warmageddon” or “planetary death spiral” or whatever they’re calling it these days, it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.
Take changes in sea level. They keep banging on about how the warming of the atmosphere causes rising sea levels, but if that was happening we’d have seen it by now! It’s been countless decades since they first started predicting this, but here we still are! But they persist in trying to convince us it’s a real threat, citing places that were supposedly “lost to the waves” and we’re supposed to believe that places like Atlantis, Miami or Skegness actually existed? You believe that rubbish and you probably believe we landed on Ganymede!

And where does this rise in sea level supposedly come from – melting glacial ice? Like there was at any point massive blocks of ice just floating around in
the ocean? Do you ever leave an ice cube in your drink that lasts longer than five minutes? It melts, and yet we’re meant to believe these “ice caps” lasted millions of years. They’re not even *trying* to be convincing any more.

A “sheet”, of “ice”? What’s next; “garlic bread”?

And don’t get me started on this supposed food crisis.
Are we supposed to believe this is due to widespread agricultural collapse brought about by climate change?
It’s the same with these hypothetical mass extinctions, as if that’s anything to do with climate change. It’s just opportunistic cherry picking by these cynical and manipulative scientists. Harsh fact is, a lot of species go extinct, but that’s just nature. Dinosaurs went extinct millions of years before we humans ever appeared, are we supposed to take the blame for that too? Doesn’t mean I’m happy that we lost the elephants, tigers, pandas, salamanders, cows and poodles, but I don’t feel guilty about it either.
People tell me cows were once bred *domestically*. Can you imagine? This was supposedly stopped because they caused significant environmental damage due to methane and deforestation, but we all know it was orchestrated by the synthetic meat companies. They obviously got rid of all cattle to ensure their current global dominance. Just think; if they hadn’t killed all the cows, we’d still be slaughtering them today!

Then there’s this “extreme weather” nonsense. I’ve not noticed any changes in the weather outside of the norm. Clueless climate change believers keep telling me it’s a *global* change so that doesn’t mean anything, but I LIVE ON THE GLOBE, so I’d notice any changes wouldn’t I? Duh! But there haven’t been any changes, obviously. There are no more storms now than there was when I was a kid. I barely get struck by lightning more than once a month, maybe every three weeks at most, and it’s never done me any harm and I’ll kill anyone who says otherwise!
But it’s with these weather worries that these manipulative scientists really give the game away. Urging us to use more wind power but complaining about all the hurricanes we keep having? They got us all to convert to solar power decades ago but keep whining about prolonged sunny spells?

**MAKE YOUR MINDS UP!**
Some of them even go so far as to say it’s climate change that’s causing forced migration of millions of people. But that’s clearly because everyone has solar cars and jetpacks and matter transporters now, so why would they stay in one place, with or without devastating environmental damage spurring them on.
It’s all a bit convenient, isn’t it, all this palaver over climate change? Weird how 99.9999% of all scientists purportedly agree that it’s definitely happening and our most powerful quantum computers are certain to over a million decimal places that it’s our fault?
Weird how they’re saying this now, at exactly the same time when they need all the volunteers they can get for the moon and Mars colonies. What’s more likely; that human industrial activity actually does lead to climate change, or that it’s all a massive meticulous centuries-long ruse to convince people that leaving Earth is a good idea?
Obviously, it’s the latter. These scientists have no shame or respect.
I can’t say I’m not tempted to go myself, though. I’d rather live on another planet, than on one where every aspect of your life is subject to rigorous scientific control. Nobody should have to put up with that crap.

Vaccines are Viruses

Posted on October 15, 2021 by Ken

**A new coronavirus variant has been detected in Louisiana.**
The EVT Viral Genomics and Sequencing Lab at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport detected a new COVID-19 variant last week. KSLA reports.
The variant — called B.1.630 — was found in two samples collected in Baton Rouge.
The variant reportedly has the E484Q mutation, which means it could escape the immune system and cause infection, per KSLA.
Jeremy Kamil, an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at LSU Health Shreveport, told NOLA.com that the variant isn’t an immediate health threat.
“This is mostly academic curiosity,” he said.
Dr. Krista Queen, the director of viral genomics and surveillance for the Center of Excellence for Emerging Viral Threats at LSUHS, said the vaccine is recommended to combat this new variant.
“Even though the predominance of this variant is low, we will continue to keep an eye on it and watch for any changes or if it starts to increase,” she told KSLA. “Any lineage or sub-lineage of SARS-CoV-2 with this E484Q mutation is watched because of the possibility of immune evasion. Some of the variants that do not have other mutations that increase transmissibility will eventually die out, but it is important to monitor any changes in abundance.”
The B.1.630 variant was first found in the United States back in March 2021. It does not have a Greek alphabet designation like the delta or lambda variant because it has not spread far yet.
New variants have struggled to spread because of the delta variant, which has become the dominant variant across the world. In fact, most recent COVID-19 variants “pale in comparison” to the delta variant, said Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
“Delta is the dominant variant, in all of these other variants kind of pale in comparison when it comes to their ability to infect,” Adalja said on Hill.TV’s “Rising” program.
“And that’s what matters to this virus — just finding more people to infect, and delta is crowding all of the others out,” he added.
Adalja said that the new COVID-19 variants tend to show up and leave pretty quickly because there are fewer hosts to infect.
“What we’re finding is yes, there are other variants that occur even in the United States, but when it comes to delta, because it is so much more fit, because it is so much more efficiently transmitted, these other variants kind of come and go but they never get a toehold because it’s just kind of simple Darwinian natural selection,” he said.

Is the stuck vaccine plan, step one on the dependency blueprint? Only when people are weak and aware of economic inabilities, will it be possible to usher in a radical “transformation” of society, a “revolution” This revolution—you’ve heard it, will be the prelude to communism.

Vaccines are viruses , viruses are vaccines.

Nicola Ferguson Sturgeon is a Scottish politician serving as First Minister of Scotland and Leader of the Scottish National Party since 2014. She is the first woman to hold either position. She has been a member of the Scottish Parliament since 1999, first as an additional member for the Glasgow electoral region, and as the member for Glasgow Southside from 2007.

Because Lockdowns have prevented thousands from given medical access for cancer treatments etc. for a virus that has a death rate of 0.2%

**It’s NOT about the injections:**
*drinking *drugs *depression *obesity and bad eating habits increasing across the board *immune system atrophy *lack of exercise *lack of sunlight *fear of seeking medical care for treatable issues What have I missed?

Suicides, overdoses, depression, delay or inability or unwillingness to

be seen for other issues? Oh, and also the clot shot.

Covid-19 is surging in Waterford, Ireland where 99.7 percent of adults are Fully Vaccinated… – CITIZEN FREE PRESS

Scotland has a widespread problem of metabolic disease, dating back decades, resulting from poor dietary choices. That seems to set you up for immune weakness that a vaccine cannot counteract. Why In 2020, Scotland recorded the highest number of peacetime excess deaths since 1891, when the country was hit by an outbreak of the Russian flu.
Vaccines have destroyed their immune Systems, thus causing an increased rate of mortality. Too much whisky. Those Scottish livers gave up.

Clearly this is a rhetorical question.

Hmmm, I wonder why?

The biggest mistake was that we assumed America was built to withstand racial, ethnic and religious diversity. It was not. Consider the time it was written. The mindset. Why would it have been written with globalism in

mind when ethnocentric nationalism was the leading thought?

Just because they say they don’t think you can, doesn’t mean you can’t.

Crisis by design.

Scotland is 87% vaccinated.

All cause deaths in Scotland running 30% ABOVE 5 year average. Why?

Because 13% are not vaccinated

Ireland is 92% vaccinated and has currently twice the cv incidence rate of the rest of Europe. Why ?

That’s a myth that’s already been debunked. The unjabbed are not killing anyone you are killing yourselves.

The treatments diminish cellular immunity. This leaves people susceptible to many things including cancer. And that’s on top of the clotting issues, heart issues, neurological issues, and a cascade of ills in the body. Don’t disbelieve it at all, but have you a link for that data please? I’ve been tracking England and Wales ACM and think it’s running between 12 and 14% up on 5YE, although
I haven’t got it to hand.

I do reckon all the data is being corrupted to a certain extent though

Please listen to the end. Dr. Joe Schwarcz on quinine, gin and COVID-19.
https://youtu.be/6-Ex_0Rq910 via @YouTube

**All the data is being corrupted.**
Death numbers adding Covid-19 and subtracting vax deaths. Wannabe rebels / fake support reporting to VAERS, while Drs. limited People taking sick leave after vax because it’s easy Nurses using extended leave after Covid-19 to stay out of the genocide. Because of vaccine related illness I’d say most likely cause, ADDED to maybe mask-related illness(13 times more likely to develop respiratory infection), heart attack; stroke from mask reducing oxygen intake; suicides, other incidents of prolonged

Lockdown & stress/fear/MSM?

I also expect an increase in cancer and cardiovascular deaths due to vaccine adverse effects. What about last year? Nobody was jabbed and it wasn’t that high.

It’s nothing about being afraid of a needle, that’s a myth also.

Salesmen used a tactic they called it: your neighbors are doing it.
If the neighbors are doing it’s good we can’t miss out. Forget the neighbors to hell with them.

It’s not ‘87%.’ They may have used statistical ‘leniencies’ to get to that number to ‘put out there’ but if it were true then you could also statistically say that the 13% are ‘entirely’ union workers because they make up 13% of the population or something. It’s simply not true.

The dang airbag in my car didn’t go off because 13% of the other cars don’t have airbags. They’re Murderers!!!

“The total number of deaths registered in Scotland in week 40 of 2021 was 1,353.

This was 315 deaths more than the five year average for week 40 (30% above average)” https://nrscotland.gov.uk/files//statistics/covid19/covid-deaths-21-report-week-40.pdf… Also reports excess deaths above average (and covid-19 deaths) for 20 consecutive weeks.

**Stop the World, I want to get off!**

Must be that terrible “climate change” that’s killing Scots?, oh wait a minute, the climate hasn’t changed in Scotland + none of their bs climate scare predictions have ever come true in decades.. When the Gulf Stream shuts down, you guys are supposed to get covered with a mile of ice. But at the rate the place is warming you won’t get that. No nothing is due to happen to the climate until October 31st.

Then all hell will break loose

**Talk to me in ten years and tell me how it’s a hoax.**
The culprit of this lies in the only true consensus that everyone in the international scientific world agrees on! THE ORIGIN OF THE VIRUS. Find the true origin, and this house of cards will fall apart. Forget the war between vaxx, anti-vaxx, statistics, cases and sadly deaths!

The experiment is not working to alert the immune system but to debilitated, vaxx people looking to take out of their body searching natural ways. You have to be sleepy if you think rich people are interested in making you feel good in this world, we are just replaceable numbers.   I think it’s the residual effects of the lockdowns. Unfortunately, these higher rates will continue for decades, where after a while the new normal will just be people dying a decade earlier than they would have, even 50+ years from now.

**Good question. That’s because injections increase the risk of death.**
They mess up with our health in many different ways, starting from switching off the immune system, ending with injecting foreign bodies – lipid nanoparticles/hydrogels, that have never been tested in humans.  Everybody knows why!

The list is long but many fundamentals of a healthy happy life have been removed to supposedly contend with the only thing that is of any consequence – covid-19. A disease so deadly they have to couch its effect in an obscure, meaningless, “28 day” caveat stat.

Maybe, because there has been an increase in whiskey and alcohol consumption – but not many people know alcohol kills vitamin D in their body which is the metaphorical “steroid” for an effective immune system, hence when they catch something nasty there is nothing to fight it.   The 5 year average is an underestimate, you have to extrapolate because death rates typically rise year by year (except in certain circumstances). 30% is a lot though, I wouldn’t be surprised if the extrapolated estimate was also surpassed.

When the death rate goes UP and the Entire world is not just suggesting but actively MANDATING vaccines, in some countries threatening jail, large fines etc. You gotta start asking questions and not simply follow blindly? Problem is a lot of people have already injected this test. All cause deaths Germany for 2018 (extreme flue-year) 2020 and 2021.

**2020 no vaccines, 2021 vaccinating as many as possible.**

Attention: Anything you think you’re getting for free from the Government is not possible for you to receive without the Government literally just taking it from somebody else. #FJB

It’s just Satanism laughing at us. From developing a “pandemic grammar” to leading with empathy.

Inter-Faith

Posted on October 14, 2021 by Ken

**Keep praying it’s going to be ok. I feel your anxiety & tension.**

It wakes me up at night but when I calm down I realize these are feelings brought on by evil. They only have power if we let them.

**Together we are stronger. Stand firm love wins.**

Importance of Inter-Religious Harmony (voa.gov)
Interfaith cooperation among religious communities around the world
is a powerful counterbalance to hate, violence, and injustice, said U.S. Ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom David Saperstein. This is especially true in countries afflicted by sectarian violence. In Kenya, for example, when Islamist gunmen suspected to be al-Shabaab attacked a bus in December 2015 and demanded that Christians and Muslims be separated, the driver of the bus said that the Muslims on board refused to be separated from their fellow Christian travelers.
They told the militants to kill them all or leave them alone – which incredibly the gunmen in the main did. Yet one man, Salah Farah, was injured while shielding Christians from the attack and later died. His brother Rashid told the media that he hoped Salah’s example would encourage Kenyans to live as one community and promote religious harmony. In Israel there are examples of peace-building through interfaith education that schools like the Tabeetha School in Jaffa or the six Hand in Hand schools in cities all across Israel, provide to Jewish, Muslim, Druze and Christian students.

In Turkey, members of Istanbul’s tiny Greek Orthodox community, visitors from neighboring Greece and other faithful attended an Epiphany service led by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians in Istanbul, where the Patriarchate is based. A ceremony to bless the waters was also held in Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city. It was the first “official” Epiphany ceremony there since the Greco-Turkish War ended in 1922 triggering a population exchange between Greece and Turkey. Although the Greek Consulate in Izmir had organized a ceremony in 2006, it was the first time the Turkish government both approved and helped to organize it.
“It’s a historic day here and we’re grateful to the local authorities and to the Patriarchate … for making this happen,” Tina Samoglu, secretary of the Izmir Orthodox Community told Greek state TV.” There is a power to be found when we advocate not just for people who share our beliefs, but also for those whose beliefs are profoundly different. When Jews advocate for Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs….when Christians advocate for Buddhists….when Hindus advocate for Muslims….when Muslims advocate for atheists….,” said Ambassador Saperstein. ”When we all recognize that if any one of us is not free to practice our beliefs, then none of us are.”

**The vital role of interfaith harmony in preventing violent extremism.**
*We interviewed Extremely Together Young Leaders Jonah and Hassan on the importance of interfaith dialogue in preventing violent extremism and how to encourage productive discussions.*
Young Leaders Jonah Obajeun and Hassan Ndugwa bring young people together to prevent violent extremism in Nigeria and Uganda.

Hassan is the co-founder of the peacebuilding organization Uganda Muslim Youth Development Forum (UMYDF) in Uganda. The UMYDF promotes pluralism and tolerance through dialogues, training and interfaith activities, and research and advocacy.

**What does ‘interfaith’ mean?**
Jonah: First, I will tell you what interfaith is not, which will help explain what it is. It is not a competition between Islam and Christianity. It is not between Catholic and Sunnis; neither is it a contest between Shia and Pentecostal.
It is not a debate between Anglican and Tijanyyaa. It is not a measure of faith superiority. Interfaith is the positive reinforcement of relationships among all faiths as a social contract between them and their communities.

*Interfaith* is the positive reinforcement of relationships among all faiths.

Why is interfaith harmony so important to you?
**Jonah:** For me, I grew up as a Christian, trained by Muslim families.
When I was ten, I went to open forums where Imams (Muslim clergy/religious leaders in mosques, the Islamic place of worship, and in Muslim communities) and other religious leaders would speak. However, instead of dialogue, they would try to convert people to their beliefs.
This experience showed me that open communication is essential to ensure that learners cannot be manipulated or be prejudiced. This was ultimately the reason I set up the Tolerance Academy.
**Hassan:** In 2010, there was a bombing at the Kyadondo Rugby grounds.
I was there with friends watching Spain play Holland in the World Cup Final. The blast killed 74 people and injured over 75 more. In the days following the attack, I saw that people were blaming Muslims. We set up the UMYDF in response to these negative prejudiced messages, rather than letting events like the Kyadondo bombing drive a further wedge between the different faith communities in Uganda.

World Interfaith Harmony Week: United Nations Webcast 2013
If someone wants to start an interfaith dialogue, what do they need to know?
Jonah: Before starting an interfaith dialogue, everyone must be open-minded about their own religion and beliefs. This ensures the starting place is one of tolerance and that people are open to learning about others. Additionally, it is vital to be mindful of the labels and terminology you use for your events and interventions. I see that terms such as ‘Countering Violent Extremism’ cause discomfort and raise the alarm for security threats, particularly as this term means different things to different people.
Hassan: I agree. Furthermore, it is crucial to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable. In some of our interfaith dialogues, we have had religious sects that are relatively isolated. Before starting, we consider everyone’s ‘comfort zones.’ We realized it was essential to those who are isolated that we limit any music in the background, which meant they felt more content and thus happy to participate.
Additionally, both Jonah and I see that teaching activists how to lead interfaith dialogues and activities is just as important. We want to ensure dialogue leaders have a sufficient understanding of all doctrines and can use this knowledge to navigate their own biases and participants’ biases.

**How do you move from dialogue to action, aka ‘interfaith activities’?**
Hassan: At the UMYDF, getting young people engaged in activities where they can share what is important to them in an informal setting is key. This informality gives them the space to build lasting relationships across faith and cultural barriers.

**The Bugiri Interfaith Peace Gardens.**
For example, we have set up some interfaith peace gardens.
This project aims to create a living symbol of interfaith harmony where young people can discuss, play sports, and interact with each other. The project starts with a gardening fellowship, where young people learn about landscaping and gardening. Then, young people from various religious backgrounds come together to build the garden with corners representing each different religion. By the time the gardens are finished, the participants have made lasting friendships that go beyond faith.
Jonah: The Tolerance Academy adopts a similar approach. We emphasize civic responsibilities rooted in local context and culture while linking to existing social ills such as bullying. I think this makes learning more relevant and relatable to young people.
In addition to dialogues, we educate primary and secondary school children about interfaith harmony, value formation, critical thinking and tolerance. Patterns of thinking develop in early childhood; therefore, giving children the tools to think critically and engage in dialogue will help them become thought-leaders for harmony and tolerance.

**What role does personal bias play?**
Jonah: Recognizing your biases toward other individuals and groups is the most crucial part of any interfaith activity. At the Tolerance Academy, we connect Muslim students with pastors and young Christians to Imams for an internship. Having done this for over ten years, we have found that 95% of participants strongly discriminate against the other religion before the internship starts.
Hassan: Similarly, the UMYDF has recognized that learning to appreciate our differences involves recognizing one’s biases and the biases that may be present within our communities.  Once we recognize these biases in ourselves, we can take steps to create a more equal and accepting environment.

**Once we recognize these biases in ourselves,**
**we can take steps to create a more equal and accepting environment.**
To recognize your biases, you need to have the tools to think critically about the information you see. There are multiple ways to do this. For example, at both the UMYDF and the Tolerance Academy, we use dialogues and interfaith exhibitions to allow young people to showcase important symbols in their respective religions. We also provide critical thinking training for schools.

**How can we be ‘Extremely Together’?**
Jonah: To create a peaceful and tolerant world, we need to understand
and appreciate each other’s differences. Interfaith dialogues, activities and developing critical thinking can help us identify our implicit biases and prejudices.
Hassan: We should learn from the rich cultures surrounding us and counter extremist narratives that seek to spread division within societies. Our experiences have shown us that young people are eager to learn and understand different religions. If we harness that enthusiasm, we can help prevent violent extremism together.
Keep praying it’s going to be ok. I feel your anxiety & tension. It wakes me up at night but when I calm down I realize these are feelings brought on by evil.

They only have power if we let them.
Together we are stronger. Stand firm love wins.

**“Does religion unite or divide us?”**
That question was posed to the readers of *The Sydney Morning Herald.* Of those who responded, the vast majority—some 89 percent—felt that religion divides us.
SUPPORTERS of interfaith, however, view the matter quite differently.
“Show me a religion that doesn’t care about compassion . . . , that doesn’t care about stewardship of the environment . . . , that doesn’t care about hospitality,” asked Eboo Patel, founder of the Interfaith Youth Core.
Indeed, Buddhists, Catholics, Lutherans, Protestants, Hindus, Muslims, and many others have on occasion joined forces to fight poverty, campaign for human rights, work to ban landmines, or draw attention to environmental issues. Multi-faith dialogue circles have participated in efforts to seek mutual understanding and inspiration. They celebrate their diversity with candle-lighting ceremonies, festivals, music, prayers, and so on.

Is the mingling of religions the way to heal the conflict among faiths?
Is interfaith God’s way of bringing about a better world?

**UNITY—AT WHAT PRICE?**
One of the largest of the interfaith organizations boasts that it has members representing over 200 different faiths and that it is active in 76 countries.
Its declared objective is “to promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation.” That, however, has proved to be easier said than done. For example, according to the organizers, their charter had to be carefully worded so as not to offend the many faiths and indigenous groups that signed the document. Why? One factor was that there was disagreement on whether God should be included in the charter. Subsequently, any reference to or mention of God was avoided.
If God is left out of the picture, what role does faith play? Furthermore, how does such an interfaith movement differ from any secular charitable or philanthropic organization?
For good reason, the aforementioned interfaith body describes itself,
not as a religious entity, but as “a bridge-building organization.”

**IS PROMOTING GOOD—GOOD ENOUGH?**
“All major religious traditions carry basically the same message: that is love, compassion and forgiveness,” says the Dalai Lama, a prominent interfaith proponent. He adds: “The important thing is that they should be part of our daily lives.”
Granted, the value of such virtues as love, compassion, and forgiveness cannot be overemphasized.

In what has been called the Golden Rule,
Jesus said: “All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must do to them.” (Matthew 7:12)

But is true faith just a matter of promoting what is good?
About many who claimed to serve God in his day, the apostle Paul said:
“I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to accurate knowledge.” What was the problem? “Because of not knowing the righteousness of God,” Paul said, they were “seeking to establish their own.” (Romans 10:2, 3) Lacking accurate knowledge of what God wanted them to do, their zeal—and faith—were really in vain.—Matthew 7:21-23.

**THE BIBLE’S VIEW OF INTERFAITH**
“Happy are the peacemakers,” Jesus said. (Matthew 5:9) Jesus practiced what he preached by promoting nonviolence and taking a message of peace to people of diverse religious backgrounds. (Matthew 26:52) Those who responded were drawn into an unbreakable bond of love. (Colossians 3:14) But was Jesus’ objective merely to build bridges among people of various backgrounds so that they could get along in peace? Did he join with others in their religious practices?
The religious leaders of the sects of the Pharisees and the Sadducees viciously opposed Jesus—even sought to kill him. How did he react? Jesus instructed his disciples: “Let them be. Blind guides are what they are.” (Matthew 15:14)
Jesus refused to acknowledge spiritual brotherhood with such individuals.
Some time later, a Christian congregation was formed in Corinth, Greece—a city renowned for its pluralistic, multi religious culture. How were the Christians there to act in that environment? The apostle Paul wrote to them: “Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.” Why not? Paul reasoned: “What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever?” Then he gave this counsel: “Therefore, get out from among them, and separate yourselves.”—2 Corinthians 6:14, 15, 17.
Clearly, the Bible speaks against the practice of interfaith. But you might wonder, ‘How, then, can true unity be achieved?’

**BUILDING TRUE UNITY**
The International Space Station—a technological wonder orbiting the earth—
is the result of the united efforts of some 15 nations. Could you imagine this project being accomplished if the participating nations did not agree on what blueprint to use?
That, essentially, is the situation with the modern-day interfaith movement. Although cooperation and respect are touted, there is no agreed-upon blueprint for building faith. As a result, moral and doctrinal issues remain as divisive as ever.
The Bible contains God’s standards, which are like a blueprint. We can build our lives on what the Bible says. Those who have embraced it have overcome racial and religious prejudices and have learned to work together in peace and unity. Foretelling this, God said: “I will change the language of the peoples to a pure language, so that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.” Unity results from the “pure language,” God’s standard of worship.—Zephaniah 3:9; Isaiah 2:2-4.
Jehovah’s Witnesses cordially invite you to visit a Kingdom Hall near you to see for yourself the remarkable peace and unity that exist among them.—
Psalm 133:1.

**Is Truth Relative?**
Supporters of interfaith often feel that no religion can lay sole claim to truth.
In fact, they may say that exclusivism among religions is what gives rise to many of the problems we see today.
Contrary to such opinions, Jehovah is described as “the God of truth,” and he said of himself: “I do not change.” (Psalm 31:5; Malachi 3:6) About God, Jesus said: “Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) That truth is revealed in the divinely inspired Scriptures, the Bible. It instructs us and equips us “for every good work.”—2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

If God is left out of the picture, what role does faith play? Furthermore, how does such an interfaith movement differ from any secular charitable or philanthropic organization?
For good reason, the aforementioned interfaith body describes itself,
not as a religious entity, but as “a bridge-building organization.”

**IS PROMOTING GOOD—GOOD ENOUGH?**
“All major religious traditions carry basically the same message: that is love, compassion and forgiveness,” says the Dalai Lama, a prominent interfaith proponent. He adds: “The important thing is that they should be part of our daily lives.”
Granted, the value of such virtues as love, compassion, and forgiveness cannot be overemphasized.

In what has been called the Golden Rule,
Jesus said: “All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must do to them.” (Matthew 7:12)

But is true faith just a matter of promoting what is good?
About many who claimed to serve God in his day, the apostle Paul said:
“I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to accurate knowledge.” What was the problem? “Because of not knowing the righteousness of God,” Paul said, they were “seeking to establish their own.” (Romans 10:2, 3) Lacking accurate knowledge of what God wanted them to do, their zeal—and faith—were really in vain.—Matthew 7:21-23.

**THE BIBLE’S VIEW OF INTERFAITH**
“Happy are the peacemakers,” Jesus said. (Matthew 5:9) Jesus practiced what he preached by promoting nonviolence and taking a message of peace to people of diverse religious backgrounds. (Matthew 26:52) Those who responded were drawn into an unbreakable bond of love. (Colossians 3:14) But was Jesus’ objective merely to build bridges among people of various backgrounds so that they could get along in peace? Did he join with others in their religious practices?
The religious leaders of the sects of the Pharisees and the Sadducees viciously opposed Jesus—even sought to kill him. How did he react? Jesus instructed his disciples: “Let them be. Blind guides are what they are.” (Matthew 15:14)
Jesus refused to acknowledge spiritual brotherhood with such individuals.
Some time later, a Christian congregation was formed in Corinth, Greece—a city renowned for its pluralistic, multi religious culture. How were the Christians there to act in that environment? The apostle Paul wrote to them: “Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.” Why not? Paul reasoned: “What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever?” Then he gave this counsel: “Therefore, get out from among them, and separate yourselves.”—2 Corinthians 6:14, 15, 17.
Clearly, the Bible speaks against the practice of interfaith. But you might wonder, ‘How, then, can true unity be achieved?’

**BUILDING TRUE UNITY**
The International Space Station—a technological wonder orbiting the earth—
is the result of the united efforts of some 15 nations. Could you imagine this project being accomplished if the participating nations did not agree on what blueprint to use?
That, essentially, is the situation with the modern-day interfaith movement. Although cooperation and respect are touted, there is no agreed-upon blueprint for building faith. As a result, moral and doctrinal issues remain as divisive as ever.
The Bible contains God’s standards, which are like a blueprint. We can build our lives on what the Bible says. Those who have embraced it have overcome racial and religious prejudices and have learned to work together in peace and unity. Foretelling this, God said: “I will change the language of the peoples to a pure language, so that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.” Unity results from the “pure language,” God’s standard of worship.—Zephaniah 3:9; Isaiah 2:2-4.
Jehovah’s Witnesses cordially invite you to visit a Kingdom Hall near you to see for yourself the remarkable peace and unity that exist among them.—
Psalm 133:1.

**Is Truth Relative?**
Supporters of interfaith often feel that no religion can lay sole claim to truth.
In fact, they may say that exclusivism among religions is what gives rise to many of the problems we see today.
Contrary to such opinions, Jehovah is described as “the God of truth,” and he said of himself: “I do not change.” (Psalm 31:5; Malachi 3:6) About God, Jesus said: “Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) That truth is revealed in the divinely inspired Scriptures, the Bible. It instructs us and equips us “for every good work.”—2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

Are You Immune After Covid Infection

Posted on October 14, 2021 by Ken

The reason why Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine doesn’t have a booster shot yet. **Herb Scribner – Yesterday 7:00 PM**

Breakthrough cases happen when someone who is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 becomes infected with the coronavirus. Most of these cases tend to lead to less severe symptoms and hospitalization, resembling a common cold more than anything.
Ross Kedl, an immunologist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, told NPR that the virus that comes from a vaccinated person will look different than one from an unvaccinated person.
Vaccinated people often have antibodies from the vaccine. These antibodies “should be coating that virus with antibodies and therefore helping prevent excessive downstream transmission,” Kedl told NPR.
In fact, Kedl said most vaccinated people appear to be infected by unvaccinated people, at least according to case studies that have come out.
“In all these cases where you have these big breakthrough infections, there’s always unvaccinated people in the room,” he told NPR.
Breakthrough cases are becoming increasingly more common among the fully vaccinated, especially because of the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus.
In fact, breakthrough cases are likely to impact thousands of people in the future. Amesh Adalja, a doctor and infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told Roll Call that most people will be infected with COVID-19 at some point in their lives.
“It’s likely that everybody will probably get infected with COVID-19 (at some point) because it’s an endemic respiratory virus. The goal is to make sure that at that time, that infection occurs after you’ve been vaccinated so it’s mild,” Adalja told Roll Call.
Overall, breakthrough cases remain rare. Unvaccinated people are still at the highest risk of getting infected with the coronavirus. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data that showed unvaccinated people are five times more likely to be infected with the coronavirus and they have more than 10 times higher chance of dying from COVID-19, according to the CDC.

Vials of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines sit on a table at the Mountain America Exposition Center in Sandy on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. Scientists with the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that Moderna did not meet all the criteria necessary for the FDA to support a booster vaccine.
Scientists with the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that Moderna did not meet all the criteria necessary for the FDA to support a booster vaccine.
Per Yahoo! News, FDA scientists released new documents that show the Moderna vaccine’s booster shot created antibodies. But the difference in antibody levels before and after the booster shot wasn’t big enough to warrant a booster shot.
In fact, those who already had high antibody levels from the first two-dose regimen did not show signs of increased antibody levels.
So, in a way, the Moderna shot might be too strong already to warrant a booster shot.
John Moore, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, told Yahoo! News that there are still a number of questions about the Moderna booster shot and what the FDA wants from it.
“There was boosting, sure. Was it enough boosting? Who knows? There’s no standard amount of boosting that is known to be needed, and nor is it clear how much boosting happened in the study,” Moore said.
Unnamed sources recently told Bloomberg that the FDA might suggest a half-dose for the coronavirus booster shot since the original doses of the vaccine were so strong.
The original two-dose regimen from Moderna had two 100-microgram doses.
For comparison, Pfizer’s first shots had two 30-microgram doses.
A half-dose for the booster shot would likely reduce the side effects of the shot, according to Bloomberg. And it would allow Moderna to spread the booster shot more widely throughout the world.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the Pfizer booster shot at the end of September. Questions were immediately raised about what this meant for Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” recently that the Moderna booster shot will come soon once the right data comes along.
“The actual data that we’ll get (on) that third shot for the Moderna and second shot for the J&J is literally a couple to a few weeks away,” he said. “We’re working on that right now to get the data to the FDA, so they can examine it and make a determination about the boosters for those people.”

**Are You Immune After a COVID Infection?**
Arthur Allen, Kaiser Health News – Yesterday 8:15 AM

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, a University of California-Irvine psychiatry professor, felt he didn’t need to be vaccinated against COVID because he’d fallen ill with the disease in July 2020.
So, in August, he sued to stop the university system’s vaccination mandate, saying “natural” immunity had given him and millions of others better protection than any vaccine could.

A judge on Sept. 28 dismissed Kheriaty’s request for an injunction against the university over its mandate, which took effect Sept. 3. While Kheriaty intends to pursue the case further, legal experts doubt that his and similar lawsuits filed around the country will ultimately succeed.
That said, evidence is growing that contracting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is generally as effective as vaccination at stimulating your immune system to prevent the disease. Yet federal officials have been reluctant to recognize any equivalency, citing the wide variation in COVID patients’ immune response to infection.

**RELATED:** **Sure Signs You May Have Already Had COVID**.
Like many disputes during the COVID pandemic, the uncertain value of a prior infection has prompted legal challenges, marketing offers and political grandstanding, even as scientists quietly work in the background to sort out the facts.
For decades, doctors have used blood tests to determine whether people are protected against infectious diseases. Pregnant mothers are tested for antibodies to rubella to help ensure their fetuses won’t be infected with the rubella virus, which causes devastating birth defects. Hospital workers are screened for measles and chickenpox antibodies to prevent the spread of those diseases. But immunity to COVID seems trickier to discern than those diseases.
The Food and Drug Administration has authorized the use of COVID antibody tests, which can cost about $70, to detect a past infection. Some tests can distinguish whether the antibodies came from an infection or a vaccine. But neither the FDA nor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend using the tests to assess whether you’re, in fact, immune to COVID. For that, the tests are essentially useless because there’s no agreement on the amount or types of antibodies that would signal protection from the disease.
“We don’t yet have full understanding of what the presence of antibodies tells us about immunity,” said Kelly Wroblewski, director of infectious diseases at the Association of Public Health Laboratories. By the same token, experts disagree on how much protection an infection delivers.

**RELATED:** Dr. Fauci Just Said When to Expect Next Surge

In the absence of certainty and as vaccination mandates are levied across the country, lawsuits seek to press the issue. Individuals who claim that vaccination mandates violate their civil liberties argue that infection-acquired immunity protects them. In Los Angeles, six police officers have sued the city, claiming they have natural immunity. In August, law professor Todd Zywicki alleged that George Mason University’s vaccine mandate violated his constitutional rights given he has natural immunity. He cited a number of antibody tests and an immunologist’s medical opinion that it was “medically unnecessary” for him to be vaccinated. Zywicki dropped the lawsuit after the university granted him a medical exemption, which it claims was unrelated to the suit.
Republican legislators have joined the crusade. The GOP Doctors Caucus, which consists of Republican physicians in Congress, has urged people leery of vaccination to instead seek an antibody test, contradicting CDC and FDA recommendations. In Kentucky, the state Senate passed a resolution granting equal immunity status to those who show proof of vaccination or a positive antibody test.
Hospitals were among the first institutions to impose vaccine mandates on their front-line workers because of the danger of them spreading the disease to vulnerable patients. Few have offered exemptions from vaccination to those previously infected. But there are exceptions.
Two Pennsylvania hospital systems allow clinical staff members to defer vaccination for a year after testing positive for COVID. Another, in Michigan, allows employees to opt out of vaccination if they present evidence of previous infection and a positive antibody test in the previous three months. In these cases, the systems indicated they were keen to avoid staffing shortages that could result from the departure of vaccine-shunning nurses.
For Kheriaty, the question is simple. “The research on natural immunity is quite definitive now,” he told KHN. “It’s better than immunity conferred by vaccines.” But such categorical statements are clearly not shared by most in the scientific community.

**RELATED:** We’re Virus Experts and Here’s What Happens Next

Dr. Arthur Reingold, an epidemiologist at UC-Berkeley, and Shane Crotty, a virologist at the respected La Jolla Institute for Immunology in San Diego, gave expert witness testimony in Kheriaty’s lawsuit, saying the extent of immunity from reinfection, especially against newer variants of COVID, is unknown. They noted that vaccination gives a huge immunity boost to people who’ve been ill previously.
Yet not all of those pushing for recognition of past infection are vaccine critics or torchbearers of the anti-vaccine movement.
Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, clinical professor of population and public health sciences at the University of Southern California, co-authored an analysis published last week that showed infection generally protects for 10 months or more. “From the public health perspective, denying jobs and access and travel to people who have recovered from infection doesn’t make sense,” he said.
In his testimony against Kheriaty’s case for “natural” immunity to COVID, Crotty cited studies of the massive COVID outbreak that swept through Manaus, Brazil, early this year that involved the gamma variant of the virus. One of the studies estimated, based on tests of blood donations, that three-quarters of the city’s population had already been infected before gamma’s arrival. That suggested that previous infection might not protect against new variants. But Klausner and others suspect the rate of prior infection presented in the study was a gross overestimate.

**RELATED:** Virus Expert Just Gave “Unfortunate” Warning

A large August study from Israel, which showed better protection from infection than from vaccination, may help turn the tide toward acceptance of prior infection, Klausner said. “Everyone is just waiting for Fauci to say, ‘Prior infection provides protection,'” he said.
When Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top federal expert on infectious diseases, was asked during a CNN interview last month whether infected people were as well protected as those who’ve been vaccinated, he hedged. “There could be an argument” that they are, he said. Fauci did not immediately respond to a KHN request for further comment.
CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund said in an email that “current evidence” shows wide variation in antibody responses after COVID infection. “We hope to have some additional information on the protectiveness of vaccine immunity compared to natural immunity in the coming weeks.”
A “monumental effort” is underway to determine what level of antibodies is protective, said Dr. Robert Seder, chief of the cellular immunology section at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Recent studies have taken a stab at a number.
Antibody tests will never provide a yes-or-no answer on COVID protection, said Dr. George Siber, a vaccine industry consultant and co-author of one of the papers. “But there are people who are not going to be immunized. Trying to predict who is at low risk is a worthy undertaking.”

How much immunity does a prior COVID-19 infection give,
and why isn’t it considered with vaccine mandates?
By Erica Moser Day staff writer

Oct. 9—Here is a FAQ answering that and other questions The Day has been hearing recently.
How much natural immunity against COVID-19 do people get from a prior infection, and why can’t natural immunity be used to opt out of vaccine and testing mandates?
Doctors and researchers generally agree that people who previously were infected with COVID-19 and also got vaccinated are the most protected. But the science is still evolving on how much immunity prior infection confers — which may depend on the severity of the infection and the coronavirus variant circulating — and how long protection lasts.

“It’s been very difficult to ascertain how the vaccine and natural immunity compare to each other,” Dr. Shira Doron of Tufts Medical Center told NBC10 Boston last month. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesperson Kristen Nordlund recently told NBC News, “We hope to have some additional information on the protectiveness of vaccine immunity compared to natural immunity in the coming weeks.”
In a study released Aug. 6, the CDC looked at Kentucky adults who were infected with the coronavirus in 2020, and people who were and weren’t reinfected in May or June of this year. The study found that unvaccinated people were 2.34 times more likely to be reinfected.
One of the limitations the authors listed is that “persons who have been vaccinated are possibly less likely to get tested. Therefore, the association of reinfection and lack of vaccination might be overestimated.”

That is the opposite of a limitation that Emory University biostatistician Natalie Dean shared about a different study: Previously infected people may be less likely to get tested than vaccinated people because they think they’re immune.
She talked to the journal Science about a study Israeli researchers released in August based on the database of a health care organization that enrolls about 2.5 million Israelis.
Comparing more than 32,000 people who either got their second Pfizer dose or were infected in January or February, one model found the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated than those with a previous infection, and the risk of hospitalization eight times higher. But the latter was just based on eight hospitalizations among the fully vaccinated and one of a previously infected person.
Using a model that included people who were infected in 2020, the researchers found evidence of waning natural immunity, but the risk of symptomatic disease was still seven times higher for vaccinated but never-infected people.
This study hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed, and the preprint server medRxiv cautions that the medical research “has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.”

Dr. Richard Martinello, medical director for infection prevention for Yale New Haven Health, said more studies will need to be done to confirm the findings. He said we’ve always known people develop immunity after infection, but the question is whether it’s good enough.
Researchers from the Yale School of Public Health analyzed data from close relatives of the COVID-19 virus to model the risk of reinfection over time. They said reinfection “under endemic conditions would likely occur between 3 and 63 months after peak antibody response, with a median of 16 months.”
“Those who have been naturally infected should get vaccinated. Previous infection alone can offer very little long-term protection against subsequent infections,” lead author Jeffrey Townsend said. This study was published in The Lancet Microbe in Oct. 1.
A Cleveland Clinic study released in June, which hasn’t been peer-reviewed, found that 99.3% of employee infections between Dec. 16 and May 15 occurred among those who were unvaccinated and not previously infected. In those five months, COVID-19 didn’t occur among any of the 2,579 previously infected individuals, including 1,359 people who were unvaccinated.

Some organizations in Connecticut responded to questions about why they opted not to allow prior infection as an exemption from vaccine and testing mandates.
“The science on immunity from natural infection with COVID is evolving. Some people develop very strong immunity and others don’t,” Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Manisha Juthani said in an email. “Vaccination after getting COVID reliably produces immunity which is why we continue to recommend getting vaccinated despite having had COVID. This recommendation may change over time as we evaluate more scientific data.”
Martinello said Yale New Haven Health didn’t consider natural immunity as an exemption, because natural immunity is not as consistently established as immunity conferred by a vaccine.
A University of California Irvine School of Medicine professor challenged the UC system’s vaccine mandate, saying he had immunity from a prior infection, but a federal judge upheld the vaccine requirement in a ruling on Sept. 30.
The Michigan hospital system Spectrum Health said last month it would grant an exemption from its employee vaccine mandate to people who have a positive PCR or antigen test for COVID-19 plus a positive antibody test from the past three months, The Detroit News reported.
Some other countries accept a certificate of recovery in addition to proof of vaccination or a negative test: For both the EU Digital COVID Certificate and the Green Pass in Israel, a certificate of recovery is valid for six months.

**How do school nurses handle students with COVID-19 symptoms?**
School nurses here are relying on guidance from DPH, the state Department of Education and Ledge Light Health District.
Addendum 5 from DPH and the education department, which has been revised multiple times, says an individual who has COVID-19 symptoms but hasn’t had close contact with a coronavirus-positive person should stay home, notify the school immediately and get tested.
If at school, “Students should remain masked, adhere to strict physical distancing, be assessed by the school nurse or school medical advisor (if available), stay in the isolation room (with adult supervision), until picked up to go home. Parents should be instructed to consult a healthcare provider and have the student tested.”
Students who test negative can return to school after 24 hours with no fever, or can return without test results if a health care provider “provides documentation with a specific, confirmed alternate diagnosis.”
The addendum has different protocols for close contacts, which depend on vaccination status and whether symptoms are present.
Annie Ryan, nurse at Nathan Hale Arts Magnet School in New London, said that about two weeks ago, she had to send home 17 kids in two days.
“I explain it to the parents,” she said, “and some of them understand, and some of them are screaming in your face, like, ‘Why did you send my kid home, because they just have a cold?'”
Ryan is president of the union that represents nurses for the Visiting Nurse Association of Southeastern Connecticut, which supplies nurses for schools in New London, Waterford, East Lyme and Groton.
Maria Kostopoulos, nurse at Clark Lane Middle School in Waterford, said one primary symptom or two secondary symptoms is enough for her to second a kid home. She said primary symptoms are fever, chills, loss of taste or smell, uncontrolled cough and shortness of breath.
Secondary symptoms include things like a sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, headache and fatigue.
“The symptoms are very vague, so it’s hard to figure out who to send home and who not to send home,” Kostopoulos said, “so a lot of it goes if you know these children’s medical history.

**Are they prone to allergies?”**
“It’s multifaceted, and it’s dealing with families when they’re fragile and scared, and you don’t know what their situations are at home,” she said. Sending kids home is a hardship on parents, especially if they have to wait a few days to get a test scheduled and then a few days to get results.
Kostopoulos said what’s striking is that boards of education “can adopt the policies in their own way, with a little bit of discretion,” so protocols vary from town to town.
“I don’t think there’s a one size fits all (approach),” Lyme-Old Lyme Superintendent Ian Neviaser said. He added, “It really depends on the specific situation. We don’t require, per se, the student to provide a negative COVID test in every situation, because that would be in some cases a little ridiculous.
If a kid has one symptom and it goes away immediately, the chances of them having COVID are pretty slim.”

**Where can I get tested?**
Ledge Light Health District is offering free COVID-19 testing four days a week at four locations, for symptomatic and asymptomatic people, with no appointment required.
Testing is Tuesdays from 3 to 7 p.m. at the City of Groton Municipal Building, Wednesdays from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Waterford Public Library, Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m. at Stonington Human Services and Fridays from noon to 5 p.m. at the New London Senior Center.
Uncas Health District and UCFS Healthcare are offering free drive-thru testing at Dodd Stadium in Norwich on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m.
Through Yale New Haven Health, people can get tested at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London or Mohegan Sun. To schedule an appointment, visit covidtesting2.ynhhs.org or call (833) 275-9644.
Martinello said when people get tested because they’re sick, the results come back within 24 hours more than 99% of the time.
CVS test scheduling is available at bit.ly/cvscvdtst, but not every site offers rapid testing or testing for asymptomatic people, and appointments may not be available the same day or the next day.

**What do I do if I lose my COVID-19 vaccine card?**
There are a few options to obtain proof of vaccination, such as contacting your vaccination provider to request a copy. If you got vaccinated through Yale New Haven Health or Hartford HealthCare, you can respectively log on to MyChart or MyChartPLUS to download your vaccination record.
You can log on to the Vaccine Administration Management System, or VAMS, if you scheduled your appointment that way.
Immunization records also are available from the CT Immunization Information System, or CT WiZ, by visiting bit.ly/ctwizportal or calling (860) 509-7929. e.moser@theday.com

Freedom Over Fear

Posted on October 14, 2021 by Ken

People that stand up for their beliefs in the face of brainwash, media propaganda and a worldwide peer pressure campaign are the kind of people that you should to look up to.

The “ring” in “Let Freedom Ring” can sometimes be a cannon firing, a call to arms, a church bell, or even just the sound of a flag waving in the wind!!

Freedom Over Fear – American Faith
From tomorrow, millions of workers in Italy who will not be vaccinated will be suspended from work and then **licenziati** taking the right to work, thanks to the mark of the beast called “green passssss”, all united in prayer for those who defend their rights even at the risk of losing their life, their family, their children

English words for licenziati include dismiss, sack, discharge, shed, cashier, bounce, refuse, deny and bump. Find more Italian words at wordhippo.com!

A dear friend of mine reminds me that I am a total 6 on the enneagram scale.
A 6 is defined as being the loyalist that is engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspicious. I was suspicious that there was more than a virus at play and anxious about how this could all turn out. Before covid-19 cases crossed over to the US, I was watching in horror the atrocities play out in China. I saw people being barricaded in their homes or beaten on the street for not complying with a covid-19 protocol.
As an American living under God and the United States Constitution, my intuition informed me that we were headed in the same direction. I caught discrepancies on MSM and straight out lies from Fauci and governors. In my opinion this tactic was to keep people off balance and so exhausted that they didn’t want to invest any time into figuring out the truth.

**So, I did what I do, and I engaged people.**
I invited them to mask-free events in my home. Those that were scared could sit outside on the porch. But you know what? They still came over because the need for human contact is greater than the fear and somewhere in their spirit people knew something was not right.
I was shopping at Dillard’s one day and saw another unmasked face. I leaned over the clearance purses we were picking through and I said, “it’s so nice to see your unmasked face.” As we engaged in conversations about the masks she said, “these people with the masks on are just scared.”

“You know what I am scared of”, I shared with the lady. “Escalators. I won’t use one at the mall or the airport. I will miss a flight if I must.” That is what fear looks like: avoidance.
People at the mall who are looking at expensive purses or nice bottles of perfume with a mask on are not in fear. They are complying with a narrative to avoid being inconvenienced. In their spirit they know something is not quite right, but they become so discombobulated from the constant propaganda that they go along.

**There is a time for everything**.
There is a time for silence, and there is a time to be vocal. There is a time to watch, and there is a time to act. When our freedom is being replaced by tyranny, we must act.
We educate ourselves, and we become the authority. Our knowledge empowers us to become leaders in our community. AFLDS is a gold mine of truth and legal and medical resources. Harness your knowledge and leadership to encourage others, and together we will reclaim our precious freedom.

**The doctor-patient relationship is being threatened.**
That means quality patient care is under fire like never before. Powerful interests are undermining the effective practice of medicine with politicized science and biased information. Now more than ever, patients need access to independent, evidence-based information to make the best decisions for their healthcare. Doctors must have the independence to care for their patients without interference from government, media and the medical establishment.
America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) stands up for every American looking for the best quality healthcare by empowering doctors working on the front lines of our nation’s most pressing healthcare challenges. We help to amplify the voices of concerned physicians and patients nationwide to combat those who push political and economic agendas at the expense of science and quality healthcare solutions. Freedom Over Fear – America’s Frontline Doctors (americasfrontlinedoctors.org)

IF You are Paralyzed by Fear, Then You are Missing a Wonderful Opportunity.

The COVID-19 has forced us to look face to face with our fears. I have been getting numerous messages from my patients, friends and family members about how they are fearful and stressed about the current state of affairs.
I am a general surgeon and a lifestyle medicine doctor. I work on the frontline taking care of sick patients coming through the emergency room. I have a decent understanding of how the best healthcare systems in the world are collapsing because of the rapid spread of coronavirus.
I felt compelled to share about how I exercise my choice of Freedom Over Fear during this critical time.

Let us look at “fear” closely. What is the purpose of it?
What does it do to us? And how can we transform it?

The purpose of fear or anxiety is to point us in the right direction so that we take the necessary steps to do what is safe and to protect ourselves and loved ones. That’s it!
Imagine you have never touched fire before, and you happen to touch it for the first time. What happens? You feel pain. Then the next time you see the fire, you have a little bit of fear. That little bit of fear ensures safety. If you think of the fire and the thought of the fire itself paralyzes you, thinking that it’s going to come to you, swallow you, burn you, then you are not putting the fear in the right perspective. If you are paralyzed with fear, then you tend to do stupid things. On the other hand, if you shun the fear, and say you are invincible, then you might make different sorts of stupid choices.

**Finding the balance is the key!**
It’s okay to have a little bit of fear. Having a little bit of fear or anxiety can be helpful as it keeps you alert to safeguard yourself and propels you to make the right choices.
Putting Fear and Anxiety in the Right Perspective is the Need of the Hour!
With the current COVID-19 situation, it’s okay to be afraid that you might get infected, or your loved ones might get the virus. It’s okay to have that fear, but here are the essential questions to ask – what are you doing with that fear?

Are you channeling the fear to do what’s needed or you freezing with it?
Are you focusing on things you can control, or are you wasting your time on things you can’t control? Even in the current situation, there are lots of things we can control. We can control the possibility of exposure to the virus by staying home and maintaining physical distancing. We can control personal hygiene by washing our hands to decrease our chances of getting the infection. We can optimize our health by eating foods that boost our immunity and staying away from foods that cause inflammation. Plant-based way of eating centred on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices boosts our immune system and optimizes health.

We can further boost our immune system by managing our stress.

**Did you know that fear and stress out of proportion can work against you?**
The brain senses the thought of fear as a threat. When the mind goes into the mode of danger, then there is an increased release of a stress hormone called Cortisol. Cortisol, in optimal doses, has many useful functions in the body. But with unregulated and chronic fear and stress, our brain releases the excess Cortisol, which has many adverse effects on our health, including the suppression of our immune system.

**So, what do we do with this fear?**
Fear is a sign that something is not right, and we need to channel this fear into what it is in our control rather than what we can’t control. Yes, there is a lot of uncertainty right now, and we don’t know exactly how it will be a month from now or six months from now; uncertainty is there. This may not be the best time to come up with a 5 year plan. This is the time to focus on survival and living in the present NOW. This is the time to maximize self-care. This is the time to focus on protecting ourselves and our loved ones and taking care of each other. This is the time to give our attention to what matters the most for us and take one day at a time. This pandemic will pass, and the sooner all of us collectively do what is needed for each other, the sooner it will pass. Let’s channel our emotions and thoughts into taking care of ourselves and put our attention on what is in our control rather than what is not in our control.

Hanson: Biden presidency is unlike anything we’ve ever seen,

Nipah Virus kills at a rate of 40% to 75%. Wuhan supposedly working w/it.

Apparently SARS-CoV-2 can channel Nietzsche: ” What does not kill me makes me stronger.” Leaky vaccines promote the transmission of more virulent virus http://epidemics.psu.edu/articles/view/leaky-vaccines-promote-the-transmission-of-more-virulent-virus… via @TheFerrariLab

Why is the interview @marthamaccallum conducted with @quay_dr
on 10/8/2021 being scrubbed from all coverage? Because he told us that China created COVID and their new gain of function project is the Nipah Virus? If anybody has this interview taped please repost…

**Why is this not illegal???**
Thus is pure evil communism. Are we going to let this happen?!
Turning away people with life threatening illnesses for the lack of a vaccine to a disease that is now 99.9999999999% survivable.

This is repulsive.

Let’s talk about what happened in Wuhan.
China did it. Joe Biden doesn’t give a fuck.

Native Americans

Posted on October 13, 2021 by Ken

**The French and Indian War (1754-1763): Causes and Outbreak | American Battlefield Trust (battlefields.org)**

**Proclamation of 1763**, proclamation declared by the British crown at the end of the French and Indian War in North America, mainly intended to conciliate the Native Americans by checking the encroachment of settlers on their lands. In the centuries since the proclamation, it has become one of the cornerstones of Native American law in the United States and Canada.

Proclamation of 1763: boundary line
The 13 American colonies in 1775, with the Proclamation of 1763 boundary line.
Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc.

After Indian grievances had resulted in the start of Pontiac’s War (1763–64), British authorities determined to subdue intercolonial rivalries and abuses by dealing with Native American problems as a whole. To that end, the proclamation organized new British territories in America—the provinces of Quebec, East and West Florida, and Grenada (in the Windward Islands)—and a vast British-administered Indian reservation west of the Appalachians, from south of Hudson Bay to north of the Floridas. It forbade settlement on Indian territory, ordered those settlers already there to withdraw, and strictly limited future settlement. For the first time in the history of European colonization in the New World, the proclamation formalized the concept of Native American land titles, prohibiting issuance of patents to any lands claimed by a tribe unless the Indian title had first been extinguished by purchase or treaty:

Proclamation of 1763Reproduction of a map showing the territories established by the Proclamation of 1763.

Library of Congress, Washington(g3300 ar010300)

Proclamation of 1763A map of the North American British colonies after the Proclamation of 1763, which intended to limit the encroachment of settlers farther west.

And whereas it is just and reasonable and essential to our interest and the security of our colonies that the several nations or tribes of Indians with whom we are connected, and who live under our protection, should not be molested or disturbed in the possession of such parts of our dominions and territories as, not having been ceded to or purchased by us, are reserved to them, or any of them, as their hunting grounds; we do therefore…declare it to be our royal will and pleasure that no governor or commander in chief, in any of our colonies of Quebec, East Florida, or West Florida, do presume, upon any pretense whatever, to grant warrants of survey or pass any patents for lands beyond the bounds of their respective governments.…
And whereas great frauds and abuses have been committed in the purchasing lands of the Indians, to the great prejudice of our interests and to the great dissatisfaction of the said Indians; in order, therefore, to prevent such irregularities for the future, and to the end that the Indians may be convinced of our justice and determined resolution to remove all reasonable cause of discontent, we…strictly enjoin and require that no private person do presume to make any purchase from the said Indians of any lands reserved to the said Indians within those parts of our colonies where we have thought proper to allow settlement; but that if at any time any of the said Indians should be inclined to dispose of the said lands, the same shall be purchased only for us, in our name, at some public meeting or assembly of the said Indians, to be held for that purpose by the governor or commander in chief of our colony, respectively, within which they shall lie.
Although not intended to alter western boundaries, the proclamation was nevertheless offensive to the colonies as undue interference in their affairs. Treaties following Pontiac’s War drew a line of settlement more acceptable to colonial settlers (*see* Fort Stanwix, Treaties of), but the continued westward movement of pioneers and the settlers’ disregard of the proclamation’s provisions evoked decades of continued Indian warfare throughout the area. The addition of the balance of territory north of the Ohio River to Quebec in 1774 further exacerbated colonial conflict with Britain.

**May 7, 1763 – Pontiac’s War – Seizes Fort Detroit**
Britain’s victory in the Seven Years War allowed it to strip France of its colonial claims. The huge swath of North America known as New France was broken up with Canada going to Britain while Spain received control of Louisiana in exchange for losing Florida. The local theater of conflict had been dubbed the “French and Indian War” by the British colonists who eagerly moved west from the Eastern seaboard. While the French colonization had largely been economic with trading posts and working alongside natives, British colonists were more interested in building permanent settlements that exploited the land, already pushing tribes like the Delaware across the Appalachians. Many Native Americans preferred an alliance with France but now found themselves under British authority as French troops left fortifications at Detroit and Niagara to their former enemies.

Relations between the British and the Native Americans quickly soured. The French had followed Native American customs by bearing gifts of firearms, tools, and tobacco in goodwill. Commander-in-Chief in North America General Jeffrey Amherst opposed the custom as a form of bribery. Beyond his ethical sense, Amherst was in a budget crunch following a very expensive war. Discontinuing gifts saved a few pounds, and he determined that he could prevent a Native American uprising by suppressing the trade of gunpowder and putting quotas that checked the amount of ammunition traders could disperse. Native Americans took his actions as an insult and a display of distrust. Already scattered by British encroachment, tribes began to consider war. Even the mighty Iroquois Confederacy was beginning to break down with the Senecas in the west calling for uprising while the other tribes respected the Covenant Chain treaties with Britain. Amherst remained confident and, out of the 8,000 men under his command, sent only 500 to the western forts.

Chief Obwandiyag of Ottawa, known to the British as Pontiac, was the first to act. Pontiac had held numerous councils through the years to form a federation of tribes that would counter any colonial aspirations. At the beginning of May, Pontiac and fifty warriors called on the nearby Fort Detroit, appearing friendly but in fact testing the defenses. Major Henry Gladwin, who had about 120 men under his command, welcomed them. Upon seeing the fort undermanned, Pontiac held a council of tribes including the Potawatomi and Ojibwas, telling them, “My brothers, we must all swear their destruction and wait no longer.”

Nothing prevents us; they are few in numbers, and we can accomplish it.
As the warriors assembled, a young woman who had fallen in love with Gladwin stole away to warn him. She arrived at the fort as Gladwin was having dinner, reading aloud a letter from his wife, Frances Beridge Gladwin, whom he had married the year before. Seeing a love unrequited and impossible, the young woman told him that she wished he would be happy the rest of his life, knowing how short it would be.

Pontiac led a force of three hundred men to Fort Detroit, hiding their weapons under blankets. Gladwin again welcomed the visitors, who erupted at Pontiac’s call and massacred the unprepared soldiers. The arsenal was captured nearly intact, giving Pontiac’s army ample weapons. A few British escaped, warning settlers to flee. Those that stayed were massacred, except for children, who were adopted into native tribes. Following local ritual, one of the fallen soldiers was cannibalized.

Word spread of the uprising in the Great Lakes more quickly to the tribes than the British military. Through May and into June, other tribes seized Fort St. Joseph, Fort Sandusky, and more through Ohio. By the end of June, Delawares’ attacked Fort Pitt in western Pennsylvania. While they did not have the numbers to take the fort, which had been packed with more than five hundred people fleeing the onslaught, the Delawares’ laid a siege that opened up the whole countryside to extensive raids by the Shawnee and themselves. In early July, Pontiac arrived with an army of over 1,000 warriors and assisted the Delaware in destroying the fort. Taking upon a mantle as chief of chiefs, Pontiac continued to march eastward on Fort Ligonier and Fort Bedford.

Amherst panicked, hoping to use Biological Warfare | Encyclopedia.com through smallpox-infected blankets, but he was recalled that August. Major General Thomas Gage, Governor of Montreal, replaced him that October. By then the tribes were beginning to retreat and consolidate in the west for winter. Settlers had all retreated east, well past the line set forth by the unrelated Royal Proclamation of 1763, which determined to restrict settlement to the Appalachians to prevent encroachment that London feared would cause such altercations with the Native Americans. It seemed to be a suitable line now as all settlers had been chased out of the area, but Gage refused to leave Pontiac and his confederation as victors.

That winter, Gage had no problem raising volunteers from local militias. Groups of men formed up gangs, such as the Paxton Boys that were ready to fight any Indian, including those who had been Christianized and lived as British citizens. The Paxtonians had marched on Philadelphia in pursuit of eastern Native Americans who fled there seeking asylum from their scourge. Benjamin Franklin, leader of one of the local militias, was able to stop them from completing their raid. Gage absorbed the Paxtonians into his own forces and promoted Franklin to a general of militia.

In the spring, Gage launched two expeditions: one in the north to quell the Seneca besieging Fort Niagara and one in the south marching from Pennsylvania to alleviate the assaults there and in Virginia. Western New York was soon settled with the Treaty of Fort Niagara, which turned the rest of the Iroquois against the warring Seneca and made them fast allies with the British. The Ohio Campaign dragged on for another five years. By the end, Pontiac had grown despotic, leading increasingly desperate raids from Illinois where he scrounged munitions from French settlers. Gage and Franklin were able to use Pontiac’s extremism against the federation, breaking off tribes willing to sign independent treaties. After Pontiac’s assassination in 1769, the broken warriors fled across the Mississippi rather than accede to British authority.

The war had been a costly one, but North American colonials seemed willing to accept taxes on stamps and tea to pay for their safety. With the Ohio Valley seized by military action and largely depopulated except for narrow reserves for defeated tribes, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 was overturned. Instead, colonists were encouraged to head west, and land sales helped pay much of the massive war debt. Speculation led to the Panic of 1776 and an uprising of the disenfranchised, which was settled by Gage’s harsh crackdown. Upon his recall and extensions of dominion status for peaceful colonies like Virginia, North Americans quietly returned to the Empire.

In reality, although the story of the Indian woman may be legendary, Major Gladwin did receive word of Pontiac’s sneak attack and had his men prepared and armed. Pontiac retreated and soon returned to besiege the fort. Other forts fell to Native Americans, but their progress was stopped at the Battle of Bushy Run. After the war, Gage turned his unsympathetic policies on the colonists, who were outraged by the Proclamation of 1769 and increased taxes, leading to the Declaration of Independence.

1763 British commander-in-chief for America determined a biological warfare solution to end Pondiac’s War coupled with starvation policies & lack of shot & gunpowder supplies would eradicate warring Native American populations to secure N.America for Royalists. Familiar tactics… Illegal infiltration army. One must ask why you flat out refuse to believe the CBP numbers.

Democrats struggle to gain steam on the Biden spending plan.

I have a theory: Since a lot of people are quitting their jobs due to the mandates, perhaps leftists intend to use immigrants for cheaper labor and fill in those roles?

Immigrants who are entering America for the first time are likely to comply with the mandates for employment. Therefore, those not vaccinated will truly be ousted. This may happen as years go by. Keep telling yourself that. Mayorkas admitted that they have been offered vaccines, but most declined. When asked why they were not mandated, he said that it’s their choice.

**They get a choice and we don’t.**

They also have an infection rate of 20%. That’s 1 in 5 infected.
One reason is we are going to need more drug mules to carry and sell all the new heroin that will be coming out of Afghanistan real soon.  Feds are complicit in human smuggling and enriching cartels. (CHEAP LABOR ) 150 Million They Killed With Covid-19 Now Replace Them With 150 Million Migrants. Also we’ve got enough problems with foreign drivers that don’t speak English or understand the roads and look what happened in Wyoming yesterday and today cause of them some big accidents and shut the road down because of it they are dangerous I’m about to hang up my keys, 31yrs

This country was founded on the backs of undocumented citizens, and if someone is willing to leave behind their family, their lives, cross dangerous borders into a land where they don’t speak the language to do the jobs you don’t want to do all for a dream then God be with them. It’s a global society push and I’m thinking a huge contributor to Democratic Party is behind it. It’s called compassion, Tomi! (It’s when you show kindness to others) Wanna know why no one has to ask why all the Nazis and White Supremacists identify with the @GOP and worship Trump like a god? It’s because we already know the answer and rhetorical questions are for amateurs.

Some have hypothesized that the anarchy in many cities was designed to lower valuable downtown property values. Now crushing the economy in other ways will spread it to suburbs. Adding so many people over the border will add to strong growth in cost of land after the wealthy buy it.

“ Choose ye this day whom ye will serve , as for me and my house, We will serve the Lord !” When I don’t want something I at least try to keep it from happening. I don’t see anything that resembles effort to address this problem. If anyone doesn’t believe that what’s happening at All our SW borders is not a serious problem, they will soon because this will affect everyone. It’s step one of the United States becoming a one party county. Too late. Already there. Neither party cares about you, only profiting more. They will step on you to get there. The only difference is if they use their right shoe or left one when they step on you.

In 1965, Paul Harvey Predicted the Future with ‘If I Were the Devil’.

Devil Will Trace You But God is With you.
So Don’t Afraid Following Right Path & Don’t Accept The Pattern of Devil

He needs to send all the illegals to the ship yards to unload those containers. After all they are his people and love them all that’s my opinion. It’s all part of this Marxist-globalist takeover. Because we have laws and they are breaking them and this is part of tearing down America.
I would take 100 “undocumented” souls with ambitions and dreams over 1 privileged mouthpiece who’s never done anything except complain about shit and offer no solutions to it.

*Everybody knows why they’re doing it. We know why. They know why. They know we know. We know they know we know. They just keep pretending like we’re all a bunch of idiots.* Biden’s done more damage to our country in 9 months than anyone could ever have conceived possible!

Because they are domestic enemies, they don’t believe in borders nor want America to exist. They are fighting from within to destroy America. I don’t really think they’re being sneaky about it. They have opened the border for everyone and broadcast it to come on in and remember to vote democrat. Bring your drugs and child molesters, you’re all welcome. Free room & board just remember to vote democrat, One much ask why the Republicans and MAGA Terrorists want to overthrow democracy in this country and why they want to turn this nation into a dictatorship…. Move to North Korea if you don’t like it here,

You tend to forget that your ancestors were also immigrants and somewhere down the line you think that this country only belongs to you! Your fear and hatred is slowly rotting your soul to its core. The only person who is suffering is you with your racism and hatred!   Since most of them, including Afghan refugees, are military aged men…I think it’s for “security services”.

They hate America; and America hates them right back.

*I do Not Argue, I do Not lie, I post only Truth — Truth Is:*
*That seems to scare certain people? Why is that?*

The plan all along. Inflation ignites a welfare state and
government dependency.

Unskilled migrants are They work for less.

They’re the secret link between Dems and the RINO biz round table.

They fought 45’s wall. Lk to Cali,

the dwindling middle class to predict our future.

Inflation is taxation and we are witnessing record that is for outpacing wages.

Gas is  42.1% Used Cars  24.4% Utilities   20.6%

Meats/Fish/Eggs are UP 10.5%

Biden’s economic crisis continues as inflation skyrocketed again in September. Americans are now paying more for just about everything because of Democrats’ out-of-control spending.
  Search | Fox Business

A May 2019 analysis conducted by CNBC found Trump’s tariffs are equivalent to one of the largest tax increases in the US in decades. Studies found that Trump’s tariffs reduced real income in the

US as well as adversely affecting US GDP. Come on, really? The global pandemic has nothing to do with inflation? How about we tax the rich and ask these wealthy constituents to stop price gouging! Well that is a little hyperbole. Inflation is taxation. Cite your sources. I’d encourage you to get out of the armchair and work on solving the supply chain issues.

Words have meanings. When my congressional representative doesn’t understand the word taxation, I get nervous. Inflation doesn’t fund the government. It can act like taxation. It can increase taxation.

But consumer inflation is not a tax. While not obviously taxation,
inflation overly burdens the middle and lower income groups.

**You at least understand that concept right?**
Government payments to people to stay home. Increasing Demand for items people are not at work to Supply. Consumers thus pay much more. Meaning Consumers are effectively paying the people to stay home. Consumer inflation is a tax.  Nope. Nothing to do w/taxation

Inflation is the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time.
A quantitative estimate of the rate at which the decline in purchasing power occurs can be reflected in the increase of an average price level. The government giving people Stimulus to increase Demand for items that the same people aren’t at work to Supply is the current inflation, though.

Wouldn’t it be great if we had representatives that didn’t exaggerate, twist facts and figures, then blame shifts ???

What if they actually represented and worked with other lawmakers for our good?

**Do your job!**
It’s called supply and demand. It’s what happens when a pandemic recession ends and people start buying but there is no product. An economics course might be good for you.

**Tariffs are literal taxation.**
Are you trying to roll back the Trump tariffs? Any thoughts as to if the tariffs contributed to price increases? Or is this more performative BS?

Gas price surges to a record high in Europe on supply concerns (cnbc.com)
Gas prices are at record highs in London, and in Paris, and in Rome, and in Berlin. Per @gop “logic,” President Biden is the responsible party.
Gas price surges to a record high in Europe on supply concerns

Government spending contributes to inflation, but so do other factors, like supply-chain disruptions that produce temporary shortages.
Inflation has been outpacing wage increases since the Carter administration.

Wake Up America. Marxist was last week. Socialist is this week. When the
“libs are cancelling Christmas” you know it’s communist week. Try to keep up.

Supply chain disruptions, supply and demand, trade wars(courtesy of the corrupt leader of your party), and emerging from a pandemic are the reasons, sweetie. Open up an economics textbook before tweeting next time.
Is Biden responsible for inflation in the UK and EU, also?

Biden is purposely destroying the country so Democrats can force everyone in the country into Socialism allowing the government control over everything and people.

**Who do you think is to blame for the supply chain crisis?**

**Just ask CNN MSNBC NBC ABC CBS …Trump of course!**
Well considering a lot of our ports are in California, the tyrannical regulations & policies by the democrats are causing this. Biden. They were caused by his welfare payments policy. Biden/Administrative Agencies/ pursuant to the stupid rules, regulations, standards, and procedures concerning covid-19.
They are paying people not to work. I’m completely on board that just about everything is planned to break us but that isn’t going to happen is it? Not sure if feds or state but problem both in “collusion” with each other. Someone stopping the ships from docking and obviously working with the longshoreman.

Another proof journalism is dead.

This should be a top story!!!
Newsome and his law that only unions and big corporations can drive the trucks. Owner operators have to have vehicles less than 10 years old, these trucks cost $250,000. Commiefornia.
  Realize this shipping issue isn’t just happening in the US. The same thing is going on in Europe…with the same excuses being used. This isn’t just a global “coincidence”.

It’s being coordinated by the same parties that brought us the “Bat Virus”
Obama the navigator with his pretty friend Valerie Natasha Jarrett…
The Administration that is more concerned about climate change vs
supporting the economy.

Does China UN Rockefeller foundation lockstep own the ports in the USA ?
13 Bloodlines of the Illuminati – The Rothschild Bloodline:

Biden broke the law. Vaccine mandate is not a law.
It didn’t go through Congress. 745 ILCS 70. Health Care Right of Conscience Act., CHAPTER 745. CIVIL IMMUNITIES, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES, Illinois Compiled Statutes (elaws.us)

**Stopping the loading of trucks?**
I’ve been looking for details and specifics. Can’t find them anywhere. Lots of speculation, but no one connecting the dots. Feel free to inform me. It’s not just labor shortages. It’s not just new regulations on trucking. What is the whole picture?  State and federal vaccine policies and mandates. Workers would rather quit than be vaxxed. The government levels would rather control and expand power than have an economy. This is a battle in the war for citizen freedom going on. Be willing to suffer for freedom, We’re reaping what the globalists have sown. We can’t even produce aspirin in the US, to ease the pain.

The pandemic pushed millions of U.S. workers
to join the ‘Great Resignation.’ Here’s why?

Well since he would not let them port in San Francisco at the start of February. I would say the Biden Administration fabricated this mess themselves. Someone ordered the ships not to be unloaded. No doubt the same people who ordered the vote count to be stopped. Democrats / CHICOMs are not your friends. Fauci started the mess and Biden made a chain reaction when he deliberately terminated energy, extended lockdown, mask mandate and welfare. I am unsure how we will get out of this mess

And all the while Biden crows about taking care of the middle class.
He’s taking care of us alright. He’s sending us into poverty.

What a freaking clown If only the last administration had been like other countries and attacked COVID the way our great grandparents attacked polio, we wouldn’t have 700,000 dead Americans lost from our workforce.
And pay the damn bill your Republican azz racked up in the previous 4 years! All government spending causes inflation. Taxed spending doesn’t reduce living expenses, so prices rise, borrowed spending raises private debt yield so prices rise, and printed spending is direct inflation. @RepNancyMace
if you understand inflation to be bad, stop all govt spending, Democrats are already floating another social spending bill to ‘put Republicans on the spot’ on popular benefit expansions before the 2022 midterms (msn.com)

All powers are within. Ready. Set. Go!

You can do anything & everything Your mind is your greatest power You have the power to take control of your mind & manifest what sets your soul on fire

Of course circumstances fucking change people, putting someone else before yourself changes fucking everything. It doesn’t fucking have to change who you are but is a massive shift in priorities.

Republicans and Democrats are on a spectrum of authoritarianism. Libertarians are on a spectrum of liberty. There are left and right Libertarians, but we don’t even exist in the same world as conservatives and nationalists.

**Isn’t 75 years of unmitigated failure enough for you?**
You don’t even exist in the real world. You exist online touching yourself to old pictures of Ayn Rand and pretending there’s some utopia out there where the communists will see your small government ways and give up their path to destruction. **I prefer the real world.**

Apparently there’s some kind of power struggle going on between governors and the illegitimate puppet in the White House! We don’t need executive orders, we need laws that protect people from our own government!  I thought we had those?

Warren: Billionaires who ‘have enough money to shoot themselves into space’ will pay for reconciliation bill (msn.com)

The real world, where Republicans stand in the way hindering any real progress, all the while doing absolutely nothing to help the very constituents they claim to represent.

**Yeah, let’s keep doing that.**
It’s been working well so far… So true. I always considered libertarians as pothead conservatives but I was wrong. They’re actually insecure, indecisive contrarians that long for attention and wish they weren’t picked last in kickball. There is a wing of libertarians actively working to save the LP from the terrible path it’s on now. My only fear is that it’s too late. The LP is so far gone and there is so much work to be done to whip it into fighting shape against this present tyranny.

It’s not about opinions on issues. It’s about what a person’s foundational principles are. That’s where opinions on issues derive from. Anyone that values liberty, personal responsibility, hard work, family, community is off to a good start. Respect for faith is also important.  A basic Google of Ayn Rand and you’ll learn that “Rand condemned libertarianism as being a greater threat to freedom & capitalism than both modern liberalism and conservatism.
Rand rejected any affiliation with the libertarian movement & many other Objectivists did the same.”

**Classical Liberalism is not enough to defend Classical Liberalism.**

Libertarianism is not enough to defeat Communism.
Ayn Rand was a statist who hated libertarians.
Dagny Taggart. – Bing

I’m a huge fan of the reciprocity principle, which means you get treated the same way by me like I would get treated if you were in power. libertarians get left alone, communists get gulags, endless persecution and absolute misery. Libertarians support the “rights” of a collective entity (muh big private business/corp) over Individual Rights… Don’t ever make the mistake of implying Ayn Rand had any respect for ‘Libertarians’
Shows me what side they are on…
Honestly, I am sick of affiliations – Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Right Wing, Left Wing – they are all the same. No, we fully acknowledge the commies wont play nice – that’s why we advocate for guns.

**Libertarians = Useful Idiots    Same.**
And what’s awesome about reality is that you’ll see all governments as
striving for utopia. Small government, big government, doesn’t matter. It’s all antithetical to freedom. So, enjoy your real world of oppression, or like, just exist and tell “authority” to fuck off.   They are all controlled by an Elite. Real people have nuance. They have different opinions depending on the issue concerned. There is no party for that. Simple as Libertarian philosophy is great. The Libertarian party is a joke. They don’t even know they are right wing.

Meanwhile, in the real world Republicans keep moving to the left at 85% of
the speed of the Democrats (and have been doing this for generations now) thinking that this makes things better.

ANTI-LOCKDOWN Data shows average age of Covid-19 death is 82.4 years –
that’s why we need to shield the vulnerable, experts warn.
By TERRI-ANN WILLIAMS Digital Health & Fitness Reporter

38 million people had the flu in 2019-20. 2,038 people had the flu in 2020-21.

**It’s simply a MIRACLE!!!**

ELDERLY people “should be shielded from the coronavirus” and younger generations “should be able to get on with life”, experts say. Data analyzed by experts at the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) has revealed that the average age of deaths from the coronavirus is 82.4 years. It comes after a Whitehall source revealed that the government are “mulling over” plans to once again shield hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Brits.

The government could advise clinically vulnerable people to shield as part of the top tier of a streamlined Covid-19 lockdown system set to be announced next week. Some 2.2 million Brits deemed “extremely vulnerable” were advised to not to leave home and avoid all contact with others at the beginning of lockdown in late March.

But studies have since laid bare the devastating mental health impact of the policy – with depression and anxiety twice as common among the shielded than the rest of the population.
Analysis by the Oxford experts at the CEBM was compiled from data provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

It shows that the average age of people dying in England and Wales from Covid-19 is 82.4.

This is slightly higher than deaths caused by other illnesses, which has a median age of 81.5.

We need to get people back to work and get rid of these ridiculous, unenforceable rules. By Prof Karol Sikora

This comes as it was revealed that 1.5 million cancer procedures were cancelled during the pandemic. Data from NHS England also revealed yesterday that urgent cancer referrals are down 15 per cent due to the coronavirus “effect” – while NHS waiting lists reached record highs.

The study by the CEBM revealed that around 30,000 people who contracted the coronavirus were already dying from another illness and that just six people per thousand who catch it are likely to die from it. The current seven day average of deaths caused by the coronavirus in the UK is 56 deaths per day.

A record number of Brits were confirmed positive on Thursday, with 17,540 new infections – a steep increase on the 6,914 cases confirmed just a week earlier. NHS data also revealed more than 600 Brits were admitted to hospital on Sunday — the largest number since early June.

There were also 77 coronavirus deaths reported on Thursday,
the highest daily figure for more than three months.

But data from the Oxford study revealed that deaths from other causes actually have a higher seven day average than the coronavirus. Cancer has an average of 450 deaths a day, while deaths caused by dementia average at 214 deaths each day. Heart disease has 174 and suicide has 18.

Looking at the age of patients who are dying, the experts said that around 40 per cent of people who have died from the virus are over the age of 85. It also found that a further 33 percent are between 75 and 84.

Local lockdowns are in place across the UK and include all age groups.
It was revealed earlier this week that more restrictions could be enforced in parts of the North and the Midlands in order to curb cases and to ease the burden on the NHS.

Professor Karol Sikora, head of Buckingham University medical school and the medical director of Rutherford Health said we “can’t afford” to worry about the NHS being overwhelmed.

**Experts say younger generations should be allowed to get back to normal.**
He told the Daily Mail: “Instead we need to get people back to work and get rid of these ridiculous, unenforceable rules. “They are ineffective and counterproductive, and are causing unimaginable harm.” Looking at the age of people dying from other conditions, and the data also highlighted that barely one percent of people dying from dementia are under the age of 44.

**The average age of people dying from other causes is 81.5 years.**
This reinforces the “Great Barrington Declaration”, which has so far been signed by over 15,000 experts in the medical profession. ‘Stay away from the elderly!’
The declaration calls for the end to local restrictions and instead a focus on protecting those who are most at risk. It also states that younger people “should be immediately allowed to get back to normal life”.

The data shows that those who are most at risk from the virus are the elderly.
Dr. Jason Oke, a senior statistician at the Oxford Centre said more young people are getting infected and that it could be the reason why the infection rate is dropping.
He said another reason the rate of infection could be dropping is due to the fact that more treatments are now available for the virus.

Dr. Oke said the figures “reinforce the message that the illness needs to be kept away from the elderly”. The infection rate of the virus has dropped from 3.3 per cent in the summer to 0.5 per cent in August.

Further studies into the links between age and the coronavirus have stated that the elderly are two and a half times more likely to die from the virus than those in a younger age group.
Dr Kathryn McCarthy, said: “Greater awareness is needed around the concept of frailty and its use as a tool for assessment.”

While the average age for those dying of the coronavirus is 82.4, many people who have survived the virus have been left with debilitating illnesses.

**Just the facts: Coronavirus in Australia by the numbers.**
Luke Massey

Notes: The data below is generally current as at 7 September 2021 however there may be some minor discrepancies due to jurisdictional reporting methods and timeframes etc. A key source of information for this article is the Australian Government Department of Health Coronavirus (COVID-19) case numbers and statistics website, which is updated daily and presents the statistics as a snapshot at a particular point in time. Information from this source used in this article was taken from 7 September 2021. For comparison purposes some reported and referenced raw data has been extrapolated to calculate averages and percentages.

**Covid-19 facts**:
Australia has a population of approximately 25,806,000.
The average life expectancy in Australia is 82.8.
As at October 2020 the average age of death from Covid-19 in Australia was approximately 85 and the median age at death approximately 86.
The overall case fatality rate (CFR) for Covid-19 in Australia is approximately1.6% (1053 out of 63,604) (as at 7 September 2021). This is very similar to the CFR in other developed countries including the USA, UK, France and Spain.
More than 75% (47,897 out of 63,604) of persons diagnosed with Covid-19 in Australia (as at 7 September 2021) are under 50
As at 7 September 2021 the CFR for Covid-19 in Australians aged under 50 is <0.034% (16 out of 47,897). This can also be expressed as approximately 4 out of every 12,000 cases.
From 1 January to 1 August 2021 the hospital admission rate of Covid-19 cases in Australians aged under 50 was approximately 7.2% (287 out of 3973). Of these, 39 cases were admitted to ICU equating to an ICU admission rate of 0.98% (39 out of 3973) in the under 50 age group
The majority of Covid-19 cases recover without clinical intervention. The severity of disease and CFR generally increase according to increasing age, i.e. the older you are the more seriously it is likely to affect you.
The majority of deaths in Australia overall, like other developed countries, occur among older people. Sixty-six per cent of deaths registered in Australia in 2019 were among people aged 75 or over.

Approximately 66% (700 out of 1053) of Covid-19 deaths in Australia (as at 7 September 2021) have occurred in aged care. Out of 894 cases of people aged over 90 who have tested positive to Covid-19, 557 have survived (as at 7 September 2021). This means that even those aged over 90 have a statistical chance of over 60% of overcoming Covid-19. Outside of aged care the overall CFR for Covid-19 in Australia (as at 7 September 2021) is approx. 0.57% (353 deaths out of 61,630 cases).
If you are not an aged care resident you have a greater than 99% chance of surviving Covid-19. There have been no deaths recorded in Queensland in Covid-19 positive patients aged under 60 out of 1,598 cases (as at 8 September 2021). The average age of death from Covid-19 in Qld is 78.
Approximately 73% of people who have died from Covid-19 in Australia had pre-existing chronic conditions certified on the death certificate. Approximately 87% of all deaths due to COVID-19 have other conditions listed on the death certificate.
In 2021 there have been 35,179 positive Covid-19 cases in Australia. There have been 144 recorded deaths in Covid-19 positive patients. This equates to a case fatality rate in Australia in 2021 of 0.41%.
As at 7 September 2021, the current hospitalization rate for Covid-19 cases in Australia is 4.6% (1278 out of 27,797). The current ICU admission rate of Covid-19 cases in Australia is 0.8% (220 out of 27,797).

In 2018 (the most recent information available) there were approximately 96,000 hospital beds and in 2020 2,378 ICU beds (baseline capacity prior to surge capacity) in Australia. Currently, 1278 Covid-19 cases account for 1.33% of that hospital bed capacity and 9.25% of ICU baseline capacity (not including surge capacity added since the advent of Covid-19) in Australia.
Since the start of the ‘Delta wave’ in Australia on roughly 1 July 2021, there have been 32,920 Covid-19 cases and 144 deaths. This equates to a CFR of 0.44%. This is significantly lower than the overall Covid-19 CFR of 2.97% prior to the ‘Delta wave’, demonstrating that although it is more infectious it is far less deadly.
Much has been reported on the ‘Delta wave’ being a greater threat to younger people when compared to the initial Covid-19 strain. From 30 June 2021 to 7 September 2021 the number of positive Covid-19 cases recorded in the under 20 age category has more than tripled (from 4,209 to 14,252). However, there has been only one death recorded as due to Covid-19 in this age group, although this has been denied by the hospital, who stated that Covid-19 was not the cause of death.
From 16 March 2020 to 3 January 2021 there were 38 Covid-19 cases under 18 years old admitted to hospital. From 1 January to 1 August 2021 there were 33 Covid-19 cases under the age of 20 admitted to hospital. This equates to a hospital admission rate of 2.72% in that age group, about half of the overall hospital admission rate. Of these, four cases were admitted to ICU equating to an ICU admission rate of 0.33% in that age group, less than half of the overall ICU admission rate.

**Covid-19 vaccination information**:
In Australia eight people are confirmed to have died due to adverse reactions from the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine. As at 20 August 2021 there had also been 272 other reported deaths following receipt of AstraZeneca.
As of 2 September 2021, there had been 36 people treated in ICU for confirmed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following receipt of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
There have been 125 confirmed and probable cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (TTS) as a result of the AstraZeneca vaccine and 99 reports of Guillain-Barre Syndrome following the AstraZeneca vaccine. To 29 August 2021, the TGA has received 61 reports of suspected Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) following vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine that could be linked to vaccination and no other obvious cause was identified.

As at 20 August 2021, there had been 176 reported deaths following receipt of the Pfizer vaccine. To 29 August 2021, 293 cases of suspected myocarditis and/or pericarditis following the Pfizer vaccination have been reported to the TGA.
The World Health Organization states that most people diagnosed with Covid-19 have mild to moderate symptoms and recover without medical treatment. The WHO lists common symptoms of Covid-19 as fever, dry cough, tiredness, aches and pains, sore throat and headaches.
As at 29 August 2021 there were more than 55,000 adverse events following Covid-19 vaccinations. Very common side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine are similar to those experienced by symptomatic Covid-19 cases including tiredness, headache, muscle pain, fever and chills, joint pain and nausea.
Similarly to Covid-19 positive cases, most people who have an adverse reaction to the Covid-19 vaccine recover without medical treatment. The Commonwealth Government has invested over $5 billion dollars of tax payer money into 5 separate agreements to secure more than 195 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines. This is enough for every single Australian regardless of age to be fully vaccinated (receive two doses) 3.75 times.

**Covid testing**:
Each Covid-19 test performed by private providers/health facilities is subsidized through Medicare to the amount of $85. Each Covid-19 test performed through the public health system is subsidized through Medicare to the amount of $42.50.
As of 8 September 2021, there had been 33,227,789 Covid tests performed in Australia. Only 0.19% of these have been positive.
In NSW this testing was performed at a rate of roughly 60% private and 40% public. Extrapolating the data on a national basis and estimated at a rate of an even 50% split between private and public testing, it appears that over $2 billion dollars of taxpayer money has been spent by the Federal Government on Covid-19 testing.
As of 8 September 2021, there had been 4,101,241 Covid-19 tests performed in Qld. Again based on an estimated even split of 50% private and 50% public testing it is estimated that the Medicare bill for Covid-19 testing in Queensland has amounted to over $250,000,000.

**Some comparisons with influenza**
In Australia in 2019 there were over 300,000 cases of influenza, approximately 4000 hospitalizations and over 800 deaths. There were no restrictions or lockdowns.
In 2017 in Queensland there were 264 confirmed deaths from influenza, with 58,616 lab-confirmed cases of the disease officially recorded. This equates to a CFR of 0.47%. The number of deaths attributed to influenza in Queensland in 2017 is 37 times the number of deaths from Covid-19 in Queensland since the beginning of the pandemic. However, there were no restrictions or lockdowns.
In 2019 in Queensland there were again 264 confirmed deaths from influenza, with 68,148 lab-confirmed cases of the disease officially recorded. This equates to a CFR of 0.38%. The number of deaths attributed to influenza in Queensland in 2019 is 37 times the number of deaths from Covid-19 in Queensland since the beginning of the pandemic. However, there were no restrictions or lockdowns.
In Qld in 2020 there were 6047 confirmed cases of influenza. 309 were admitted to hospital and 28 of these were admitted to ICU. There were 20 confirmed deaths due to influenza, more than 3 times the number of Covid related deaths.

**Queensland specific Covid information**:
In Queensland in 2021 there have been 729 confirmed cases of Covid-19.
One of these has been fatal. This equates to a 2021 CFR in Qld of 0.14%.
In Queensland since the beginning of the pandemic there have been 1991 confirmed cases of covid-19, 7 of which have been fatal. This equates to a CFR of 0.35% which is less than the CFR of influenza in Queensland in both 2017 and 2019. However, there have been significant restrictions imposed on all Queenslanders including the vast majority of whom were healthy.
In Queensland in 2021 the highest number of Covid-19 patients hospitalized at any one time is 82. (It is important to note that in Queensland all Covid-19 cases are hospitalized, regardless of the severity of illness). There are approximately 19,270 hospital beds in Queensland (based on an estimated population of 5,195,000 as at 31 December 2020 and a rate of 3.71 beds per 1000 people).
In Queensland in 2021 the highest number of Covid-19 patients admitted to ICU at any one time is three. There were approximately 413 ICU beds (baseline capacity) in Queensland as at 2018.

**National statistics on deaths**:
In Australia there were 58,515 deaths that occurred between January and May 2021 and were registered by 31 July (including 5,043 deaths from respiratory disease).This is 3,475 deaths (6.3%) more than the 2015-19 average and comparable to 2020. Only one of these deaths was due to Covid-19.
For the month of May, there were 12,973 deaths (including 1,202 deaths due to respiratory diseases), which is 7.6% more deaths than average, and 5.3% more than in 2020. None of these deaths were due to Covid-19.
From 1 January to 31 July 2020, there were 32,398 deaths in residential aged care in Australia, compared with 33,383 at the same point in 2019.
Covid has had an extremely negligible impact on the overall average number of deaths in Australia and the average age at death.
According to ABS data in the 5 year period from 2015-2019, there were 806,259 deaths recorded in Australia. This equates to a yearly average of 161,251 deaths. There were 116,345 deaths registered by doctors between January 1 and October 27, 2020, compared with the 2015-19 average of 117,484. In 2020 there were 141,116 deaths recorded in Australia.
909 (0.64%) of these were Covid-19 related.

**Comment**:
A multitude of illnesses, disease and injuries are prevalent in our community. These include many which are directly linked to activities which we are completely free to pursue such as drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, consuming significant amounts of unhealthy foods, sunbaking, playing contact or extreme sports. These are personal decisions made with knowledge and acceptance of risk.
Covid-19 is a virus that poses risks specifically to the elderly and those with existing comorbidities, and extremely negligible risk to those below 50. The vast majority of those who have died from Covid-19 in Australia are over 80 years old and have pre-existing illnesses.
All Australians should be free to make an informed decision (with the knowledge that there is a real risk of an adverse outcome leading to death or serious injury) whether or not to receive a Covid-19 vaccination without coercion or the real threat of being stripped of their job and ability to earn a livelihood for themselves and their families.

Those who support mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations argue that the chances of a severe reaction are very rare and they are correct. However, it must be remembered that these adverse reactions are not some fanciful conspiracy theory and by ‘coming into contact’ with the vaccine you are exposing yourself to that risk.
Those who choose not to receive the vaccine and who practice sensible everyday hygiene are not certain to ‘come into contact’ with Covid-19, and therefore not certain to be exposed to a real risk of contracting the virus, let alone a real risk of serious illness or death.
Sensible precautions should be directed towards minimizing the risks to those in the at-risk categories. If others outside of those at-risk categories also wish to engage in the same precautions then they should be free to do so. Otherwise, Australians should be free to go about their lives without the significant burden of extreme wide-ranging restrictions.

From 1 January to 1 August 2021 there were 33 Covid-19 cases under the age of 20 admitted to hospital. This equates to a hospital admission rate of 2.72% in that age group, about half of the overall hospital admission rate. Of these, four cases were admitted to ICU equating to an ICU admission rate of 0.33% in that age group, less than half of the overall ICU admission rate.

**Covid-19 vaccination information**:
In Australia eight people are confirmed to have died due to adverse reactions from the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine. As at 20 August 2021 there had also been 272 other reported deaths following receipt of AstraZeneca.
As of 2 September 2021, there had been 36 people treated in ICU for confirmed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome following receipt of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
There have been 125 confirmed and probable cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (TTS) as a result of the AstraZeneca vaccine and 99 reports of Guillain-Barre Syndrome following the AstraZeneca vaccine. To 29 August 2021, the TGA has received 61 reports of suspected Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) following vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine that could be linked to vaccination and no other obvious cause was identified.

As at 20 August 2021, there had been 176 reported deaths following receipt of the Pfizer vaccine. To 29 August 2021, 293 cases of suspected myocarditis and/or pericarditis following the Pfizer vaccination have been reported to the TGA.
The World Health Organization states that most people diagnosed with Covid-19 have mild to moderate symptoms and recover without medical treatment. The WHO lists common symptoms of Covid-19 as fever, dry cough, tiredness, aches and pains, sore throat and headaches.
As at 29 August 2021 there were more than 55,000 adverse events following Covid-19 vaccinations. Very common side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine are similar to those experienced by symptomatic Covid-19 cases including tiredness, headache, muscle pain, fever and chills, joint pain and nausea.
Similarly to Covid-19 positive cases, most people who have an adverse reaction to the Covid-19 vaccine recover without medical treatment. The Commonwealth Government has invested over $5 billion dollars of tax payer money into 5 separate agreements to secure more than 195 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines. This is enough for every single Australian regardless of age to be fully vaccinated (receive two doses) 3.75 times.

**Covid testing**:
Each Covid-19 test performed by private providers/health facilities is subsidized through Medicare to the amount of $85. Each Covid-19 test performed through the public health system is subsidized through Medicare to the amount of $42.50.
As of 8 September 2021, there had been 33,227,789 Covid tests performed in Australia. Only 0.19% of these have been positive.
In NSW this testing was performed at a rate of roughly 60% private and 40% public. Extrapolating the data on a national basis and estimated at a rate of an even 50% split between private and public testing, it appears that over $2 billion dollars of taxpayer money has been spent by the Federal Government on Covid-19 testing.
As of 8 September 2021, there had been 4,101,241 Covid-19 tests performed in Qld. Again based on an estimated even split of 50% private and 50% public testing it is estimated that the Medicare bill for Covid-19 testing in Queensland has amounted to over $250,000,000.

**Some comparisons with influenza**
In Australia in 2019 there were over 300,000 cases of influenza, approximately 4000 hospitalizations and over 800 deaths. There were no restrictions or lockdowns.
In 2017 in Queensland there were 264 confirmed deaths from influenza, with 58,616 lab-confirmed cases of the disease officially recorded. This equates to a CFR of 0.47%. The number of deaths attributed to influenza in Queensland in 2017 is 37 times the number of deaths from Covid-19 in Queensland since the beginning of the pandemic. However, there were no restrictions or lockdowns.
In 2019 in Queensland there were again 264 confirmed deaths from influenza, with 68,148 lab-confirmed cases of the disease officially recorded. This equates to a CFR of 0.38%. The number of deaths attributed to influenza in Queensland in 2019 is 37 times the number of deaths from Covid-19 in Queensland since the beginning of the pandemic. However, there were no restrictions or lockdowns.
In Qld in 2020 there were 6047 confirmed cases of influenza. 309 were admitted to hospital and 28 of these were admitted to ICU. There were 20 confirmed deaths due to influenza, more than 3 times the number of Covid related deaths.

**Queensland specific Covid information**:
In Queensland in 2021 there have been 729 confirmed cases of Covid-19.
One of these has been fatal. This equates to a 2021 CFR in Qld of 0.14%.
In Queensland since the beginning of the pandemic there have been 1991 confirmed cases of covid-19, 7 of which have been fatal. This equates to a CFR of 0.35% which is less than the CFR of influenza in Queensland in both 2017 and 2019. However, there have been significant restrictions imposed on all Queenslanders including the vast majority of whom were healthy.
In Queensland in 2021 the highest number of Covid-19 patients hospitalized at any one time is 82. (It is important to note that in Queensland all Covid-19 cases are hospitalized, regardless of the severity of illness). There are approximately 19,270 hospital beds in Queensland (based on an estimated population of 5,195,000 as at 31 December 2020 and a rate of 3.71 beds per 1000 people).
In Queensland in 2021 the highest number of Covid-19 patients admitted to ICU at any one time is three. There were approximately 413 ICU beds (baseline capacity) in Queensland as at 2018.

**National statistics on deaths**:
In Australia there were 58,515 deaths that occurred between January and May 2021 and were registered by 31 July (including 5,043 deaths from respiratory disease).This is 3,475 deaths (6.3%) more than the 2015-19 average and comparable to 2020. Only one of these deaths was due to Covid-19.
For the month of May, there were 12,973 deaths (including 1,202 deaths due to respiratory diseases), which is 7.6% more deaths than average, and 5.3% more than in 2020. None of these deaths were due to Covid-19.
From 1 January to 31 July 2020, there were 32,398 deaths in residential aged care in Australia, compared with 33,383 at the same point in 2019.
Covid has had an extremely negligible impact on the overall average number of deaths in Australia and the average age at death.
According to ABS data in the 5 year period from 2015-2019, there were 806,259 deaths recorded in Australia. This equates to a yearly average of 161,251 deaths. There were 116,345 deaths registered by doctors between January 1 and October 27, 2020, compared with the 2015-19 average of 117,484. In 2020 there were 141,116 deaths recorded in Australia.
909 (0.64%) of these were Covid-19 related.

**Comment**:
A multitude of illnesses, disease and injuries are prevalent in our community. These include many which are directly linked to activities which we are completely free to pursue such as drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, consuming significant amounts of unhealthy foods, sunbaking, playing contact or extreme sports. These are personal decisions made with knowledge and acceptance of risk.
Covid-19 is a virus that poses risks specifically to the elderly and those with existing comorbidities, and extremely negligible risk to those below 50. The vast majority of those who have died from Covid-19 in Australia are over 80 years old and have pre-existing illnesses.
All Australians should be free to make an informed decision (with the knowledge that there is a real risk of an adverse outcome leading to death or serious injury) whether or not to receive a Covid-19 vaccination without coercion or the real threat of being stripped of their job and ability to earn a livelihood for themselves and their families.

Those who support mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations argue that the chances of a severe reaction are very rare and they are correct. However, it must be remembered that these adverse reactions are not some fanciful conspiracy theory and by ‘coming into contact’ with the vaccine you are exposing yourself to that risk.
Those who choose not to receive the vaccine and who practice sensible everyday hygiene are not certain to ‘come into contact’ with Covid-19, and therefore not certain to be exposed to a real risk of contracting the virus, let alone a real risk of serious illness or death.
Sensible precautions should be directed towards minimizing the risks to those in the at-risk categories. If others outside of those at-risk categories also wish to engage in the same precautions then they should be free to do so. Otherwise, Australians should be free to go about their lives without the significant burden of extreme wide-ranging restrictions.

BidenBacker REMORSE

Posted on October 13, 2021 by Ken

The U.S. had better wake up to the communist-style repression that is becoming more common. We are in the midst of the longest, saddest, most excruciating and unsatisfying “I TOLD YOU SO” in the history of the world.

Democrats pave the way for socialist takeover bill.
Buyer Remorse is a distressing emotion experienced by an individual who regrets actions which they have done in the past that they deem to be shameful, hurtful, or wrong. Remorse is closely allied to guilt & self-directed resentment. When a person regrets an earlier action or failure to act, it may be because of remorse or in response to various other consequences, including being punished for the act or omission. People may express remorse through apologies, trying to repair the damage they’ve caused, or self-imposed punishments.

**Communist predators corrupting America’s soul.**
Anyone still doubting that we’re in the grip of Marxist handlers in the White House might want to know about President Biden’s nominee for Comptroller
of the Currency. And, for something more encouraging, they might also want
to check out what happened this past week in Loudoun County, Virginia.
More about that later.

A branch of the Treasury, the Office of Comptroller of the Currency, “charters, regulates, and supervises all national banks and federal savings associations as well as federal branches and agencies of foreign banks,” according to its website.

This means they have tremendous power over the nation’s banks, including your hometown bank, where you have what’s left of your nest egg.

‘Where Would A Person Even Come Up With These Ideas?’
Toomey Points To Soviet Upbringing Of Nominee

Mr. Biden has nominated Saule Omarova, a graduate of Moscow State University. No, it’s not Moscow, Idaho. This is the real deal. She graduated from the communist college in 1989, a recipient of the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship. That would be Vladimir Lenin, founder of the first communist nation and a ruthless, mass-murdering dictator.

But wait, you might say. What if her experience in the Soviet Union turned her against the kind of centralized power wielded in communist countries? After all, Ayn Rand came out of the Soviet Union to expose the evils of socialism in best-selling books like “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged.”

No such luck. We’re talking about a dyed-red-in-the-wool statistic. In Ms. Omarova’s academic papers, she pushes expanding the Federal Reserve’s powers to include setting price levels of “systemically important financial assets” and employee wages. Worse, in a paper entitled “The People’s Ledger,” she calls for the Fed to take over consumer bank deposits and “effectively ‘end banking’ as we know it,’” according to the Wall Street Journal.

She wants a “National Investment Authority” with members chosen by a board of her fellow academics. You know, the “best and brightest” types that got us into Vietnam, Iraq, cooked up Obamacare, and imposed nearly disastrous wage and price controls. This time, the object is to finance something akin to the “Green New Deal,” the extremist climate change scheme rejected by the Senate. She wants our tax dollars to go toward creating a system that will ensure power shortages, higher energy prices, dependency on other nations’ oil and gas, and perhaps an end to those farting cows – the methane-emitting culprits targeted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Ms. Omarova also wants a “Public Interest Council” of “highly paid” academics with subpoena power to govern financial regulatory agencies including the Fed. I’m no fan of the Fed, which has landed us in more than one recession and operates like a government agency with no taxpayer oversight. But this sounds far worse. It even comes with a militant feminist outlook.

“Until I came to the U.S., I couldn’t imagine that things like the gender pay gap still existed in today’s world,” Ms. Omarova tweeted: “Say what you will about the old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there.

**Market doesn’t always ‘know best.’”**
According to the Journal, she sent this only two years ago, still apparently pining for a system famous for closed borders (to keep people in), mass poverty, no freedom of religion, speech, press, or assembly, and a vast gulag for political prisoners. If you wanted to live in terror of the KGB or spend hours standing in line for toilet paper, the “old USSR” was your kind of country.

But, Lenin and Stalin (not God) be praised, men and women were equals while standing in lines or working as slave labor under commissars.
Lenin issued a decree in 1918 announcing the “separation of church and state” (sound familiar?) and forbade the Orthodox Church to own property or teach religion in schools.
The communists, who killed an estimated 12 to 20 million Christians before the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, also burned down churches and slaughtered more than 100,000 clergy.

Sporting a “Lenin” scholarship is like having the Hitler Scholarship for Master Race Studies. Americans had better wake up to the communist-style repression that is becoming more and more common here, driven by socialist economics, mass illegal immigration, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the imposition of Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and Black Lives Matter curricula.

**Some Americans are stirring.**
This past week, in Loudoun County, Virginia, hundreds of parents gathered outside the Board of Education to protest the schools’ mandated transgender policy. Stung by criticism during recent hearings, the board blocked the public from attending the subsequent meeting, allowing only speakers inside. They also changed the rules for speakers, allowing only Loudoun residents. This came after word that conservative commentator Matt Walsh would be speaking on behalf of the parents.

Mr. Walsh, not known for timidity, “rented” a basement for $1 from a friend to qualify for a speaking slot. When he got his chance, he took his one minute to denounce the board for forcing teachers and pupils to lie to children about their gender and sexuality.
“You are all child abusers,” he said. “You prey upon impressionable children and indoctrinate them into your insane ideological cult, a cult which holds many fanatical views, but none so deranged as the idea that boys are girls and girls are boys.”

“By imposing this vile nonsense on students to the point even of forcing young girls to share locker rooms with boys, you deprive these kids of safety and privacy and something more fundamental, too, which is truth. If education is not grounded in truth, then it is worthless.” He went on to call them “predators.”

**Communism comes in many guises, but it is always at war with free markets, religion, culture, and tradition.**

As important as it is, money is not everything. When a government sets its sights on corrupting children’s souls, it no longer has any legitimacy whatsoever.

**BUYERS REMORSE**

Why now.. Ole Joe had been in Washington for 50 years without a single accomplishment yet he was elected with a booming economy, secure borders and hope for a bright future. Kamala can’t be found and our country is going down in flames!

The Biden administration’s collapse has Democrat insiders freaking out.
That’s the word from Politico after Joe Biden’s approval ratings bottomed out over the last several months, including hitting only 38% approval in a recent poll.

According to the report, a Democrat focus group held in Pennsylvania showed their displeasure with the president, with everyone giving him C- or lower grades.
In a focus group last week, Pennsylvania Democrats one after another articulated the issue vexing top White House aides, party operatives in Virginia and voters in Georgia.

**Why isn’t President Joe Biden’s diminished job rating rebounding?**
All nine participants from Tuesday’s session gave Biden C- grades or lower. And their answers circled back to a similar point: The pandemic and the many ways it continues to hinder normal life is souring their views of Biden.

Yet, while these people are on the right track, they still managed to completely miss the point. Biden’s approval has not plummeted because of the coronavirus, though, that’s a convenient way to blame his woes on something out of his control. In fact, in most polls, Biden’s highest marks come regarding his handling of the pandemic.

Rather, it is other issues that are dragging Biden into the toilet. The article admits that by noting that participants cited supply chain and staffing issues as major concerns.
One woman said she wanted to buy a car but supply chain issues were delaying new shipments to the dealership. A man complained about understaffed restaurants.

“There is a malaise,” said Sarah Longwell, a moderate Republican strategist who became a vocal supporter of Biden in 2020, and led the focus group of Democratic voters. “People don’t feel like their lives have been improved. They sort of feel that promises aren’t being kept.”

Those problems are self-inflicted, not a result of a virus that is out of the president’s hands. Joe Biden’s policies, specifically regarding rent assistance, food stamps, and extended unemployment have caused the labor shortage we are now stuck in. The supply chain issues, which include thousands of ships unable to dock and offload products, are directly traceable to that labor shortage as well as incompetence at the executive level in handling the issue. The lack of products to meet demand then pushes inflation higher.

**For their part, Democrat strategists are still pushing the notion that this is all about responding to COVID-19. I don’t buy it.**

In one widely circulated memo,
Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg argued that Biden’s steep drop-off can only be explained by the public’s perception of his uneven handling of the pandemic and a belief he is not prioritizing it. Rosenberg, who has been in touch with White House and party committee officials, contends that the tens of millions of dollars being spent to sell Biden’s Build Back Better agenda is “reminding” voters that the president isn’t focused on the virus. Even passing both bills won’t be enough to significantly improve Biden’s standing without Democrats first establishing they are the party responsible for defeating Covid, he said.

“The president’s decline is alarming. It’s serious,” Rosenberg said. “But it also can be reversed. And it isn’t going to be reversed by passing these two bills alone. He has to get Covid under control.”

This is what living in a bubble looks like, where concern for coronavirus rules over all other issues. But outside of the beltway, Biden is not going to rebound by sounding more serious about COVID. Instead, he has crashed and burned because of his failures in Afghanistan, the economy, inflationary woes, the border crisis, and any number of other things that have shown him to be a terrible leader. There’s also the issue of his mental ability to do the job, which is becoming more of a mainstream issue as polls show his competence is being questioned.

**Has anyone given a reasonable explanation as to why ships are not being allowed in ports to offload their cargo??**

Only that there are not enough workers to unload & not enough trucks to transport.

I have friends in the industry and they have confirmed that isn’t the case.

Another fake crisis to cause economic mayhem and bring on economic turmoil and government dependence. Also, intentionally avoiding any solution to an open Southern Border and allowing cargo ships to sit unloaded for months.

**Manufactured crisis to implement socialism.**
1-not enough long shore men to offload the ships; 2-not enough equipment to offload: the chassis are broken, were back ordered, and are probably on one of those ships off the coast; 3-not enough drivers to move the empty containers in the yards; 4- ships crews not jabbed.   Video out yesterday from a trucker in Seattle. At least 50 trucks with truckers awaiting their loads all day. Nine huge cranes …He said he hadn’t seen one crane move all day.

Research shows political pressure to mandate all businesses to comply but Patriots have had enough! Say No to Jab. Gov says no products but businesses say no workers due to forced mandates. Then you have coast governors restricting shipping traffic.  The word on the street is they’re short staffed on dock workers. Ron DeSantis offered them to port in Florida because we can take it but still nothing.

Biden Grinch That Stole Christmas,
This place is prepared for the dishonest who do wickedness on earth. They practice magic and conjuration and boast of their works. become rich through acts of violence from foreign goods; They secretly steal human souls, loosen a binding yoke.

This is going to be a real problem by Christmas: Then the claim about being short staffed on the docks is not true. If keeping the supply chain functioning was a priority then the ships would port wherever they could. Covid restrictions it’s all part of a plan to destroy America. There is no such thing as a reasonable explanation anymore. Shortage of dock workers, shortage of truck drivers, shortage of labor in general. Unions squeezing the Biden administration to get more benefits for their members and more dues money for the union.

Despite what Democrats want to believe, no easy fix for Biden exists here.
This isn’t a messaging issue that can be rectified by some new PR campaign. Rather, it’s a results issue, and Americans are not pleased with the president’s myriad of failures.

**The 2022 election looms larger than ever.**

Thank you JESUS….folks all you have to do is WAIT a little longer…things will go GOD’s way!!!

**LIFE vs. Death!** The #NWO‘s agenda is backfiring on them. Thank goodness for these judges.

I’m so tired and scare for the Next Generations future and everyone
Heard about the new variant #FreedomFlu

It’s not the vaccine that’s BS- it’s sitting for prolonged periods of time on layovers at the airport – that’s why I take a baby aspirin 81 mg before I fly-
but don’t do that without talking to your doctor.

So we know there are issues with deep vein thrombosis when people fly, from what I am seeing there are some pilot associations showing massive concern about the Vaccines and blood clotting. What happens when it gets to the point where anyone Vaccinated is not allowed to fly?

Since the unvaccinated will not be allowed to fly in many places either, hm who does that leave? The Globalists win as their goal (agenda 21/2030 -WEF etc) is to stop ordinary people traveling (removing yet another freedom) and this would put an end to air travel for the plebs. Finally some brains stopping this BS vaxx..mandate.. The media has pushed so much fear into the people & Gov..yet in 2017-18 80,000+ people died from flu, in 4 months, nearly 700 a day died and not a word hardly from the media…it’s the narrow-tive they push “Plandemic” 10,000 times a day!!

**At this point it’s about getting people’s jobs back.**

United is at 99% because they fired a bunch of employees.
This leaky, unacceptably risky for the young and healthy, should never have been mandated.  The Biden administration said enforcement of vaccine mandates would be by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. But White House, OSHA, and Dept Labor haven’t released any official guidance for the alleged mandate. There is NO executive order. Just Biden posturing. Religious exemption. When (if?) The actual OSHA guidelines are released, assuming they don’t get smacked down in federal court, there will have to be robust religious exemptions. Federal employees are protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This is all a big bluff.

**When this hits the courts the people will win.**

It’s blatantly unconstitutional. @UnitedAirlines_ …can now hide behind the court decision. But, because it’s United, I’m sure they’ll appeal. They must signal virtue to show their loyalty to the woke-ists. #resist These judges are finally coming around to doing what’s right. As it should be ….disgusting political display by these airlines. Need to bring some large lawsuits. What about American Airlines also based in TX?!?

I’m a human against vaccine segregation. I will not be fooled into hating my fellow man based on his/her vaccination status.

NO DiVide & ConQuer… Got that, globalists?

Why was it OK to #Resist when Donald Trump was @POTUS
~ but it’s NOT ok to #Resist now Biden is installed as @POTUS
?? #Hypocrites #FJBiden #ClownShow #WakeUpAmerica

What about United Airlines is based in Chicago, which isn’t in Texas?
U.S. judge restrains United from placing employees receiving COVID-19 vaccine exemption on unpaid leave | Reuters

The only reason there is a vaccine mandate is because Biden’s handlers/puppet masters know the number of Covid will continue to drop regardless of vaccine status, so they want everyone vaccinated ASAP so they can then claim Covid cases have dropped thanks to the mandate. #FJB  U.S. judge restrains United from placing employees receiving COVID-19 vaccine exemption on unpaid leave. NOW Maybe the people they fired can come back to work.
Here’s why vaccine is 150% effective

If the United States Postal Service is exempt from getting the vaccine…
that means we’re ALL exempt from getting the vaccine.

Today, Asian Americans live the longest (86.3 years), followed by whites (78.6 years), Native Americans (77.4 years), and African Americans (75.0 years). Where people live, combined with race and income, play a huge role in whether they may die young.

(The average age of a “Covid death” in the USA is 75 years.)

**What happens to the body one week before death?**
1 to 2 weeks before death, the person may feel tired and drained all the time, so much that they don’t leave their bed. They could have: Different sleep-wake patterns. Little appetite and thirst. Fewer and smaller bowel movements and less pee. More pain. Changes in blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate.
There also are other, more subtle signs that indicate decline, including: A loss of interest in favorite activities. Preferring to be “left alone” or withdrawing from people. Sleeping more, especially during the day.
For years, researchers have been trying to figure out whether the act of retiring, or retirement itself, is good for health, bad for it, or neutral. A new salvo comes from researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health. They looked at rates of heart attack and stroke among men and women in the ongoing U.S. Health and Retirement Study.
Retirement is bad for health, because during the job a person is always punctual, active. But a person who retired from his job is going down & down because no work, no schedule available for him. So retirement is a red light for retired people.

Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell visited NIH
recently for her first town hall meeting with staff. She was greeted
by (from right) NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, National Cancer
Institute Director Dr. Harold Varmus and NIH Deputy Director
Dr. Lawrence Tabak.

The U.S. has a “very strong” role to play in global health, not least in the battle to control Ebola and other threats to the domestic as well as worldwide populations, according to Sylvia M. Burwell, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees the NIH.
“The role of HHS in the global health space is going to be front and center,” Burwell said during a recent visit to NIH to tour the main campus and meet staff. She joined HHS last year from the U.S. budget office and soon became steeped in discussions with top world health officials on how to stem the rampant Ebola epidemic in West Africa and prevent similar outbreaks in the future.
In earlier global health experience, Burwell spent a decade at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where she was founding president of its Global Development Program, which awarded $1.5 billion annually. One of her focus areas was vaccine needs, including for diseases such as Ebola.

The STAR SEEDS Freedom Blueprint

In 1894, Alexander III was succeeded by his son, Nicholas II, who was committed to retaining the autocracy that his father had left him. Nicholas II proved ineffective as a ruler, and in the end his dynasty was overthrown by revolution.^[45]
The Industrial Revolution began to show significant influence in Russia, but the country remained rural and poor. Economic conditions steadily improved after 1890, thanks to new crops such as sugar beets, and new access to railway transportation. Total grain production increased, as well as exports, even with rising domestic demand from population growth.
As a result, there was a slow improvement in the living standards of Russian peasants in the Empire’s last two decades before 1914. Recent research into the physical stature of Army recruits shows they were bigger and stronger. There were regional variations, with more poverty in the heavily populated central black earth region; and there were temporary downturns in 1891–93 and 1905–1908.^[46]

On the political right, the reactionary elements of the aristocracy strongly favored the large landholders, who, however, were slowly selling their land to the peasants through the Peasants’ Land Bank. The Octobrist party was a conservative force, with a base of landowners and businessmen. They accepted land reform but insisted that property owners be fully paid. They favored far-reaching reforms, and hoped the landlord class would fade away, while agreeing they should be paid for their land. Liberal elements among industrial capitalists and nobility, who believed in peaceful social reform and a constitutional monarchy, formed the Constitutional Democratic Party or *Kadets*.^[47]
On the left, the Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs) and the Marxist Social Democrats wanted to expropriate the land, without payment, but debated whether to distribute the land among the peasants (the Narodnik solution), or to put it into collective local ownership.^[48] The Socialist Revolutionaries also differed from the Social Democrats in that the SRs believed a revolution must rely on urban workers, not the peasantry.^[49]
In 1903, at the 2nd Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party,
in London, the party split into two wings: the gradualist Mensheviks and the more radical Bolsheviks. The Mensheviks believed that the Russian working class was insufficiently developed and that socialism could be achieved only after a period of bourgeois democratic rule. They thus tended to ally themselves with the forces of bourgeois liberalism. The Bolsheviks, under Vladimir Lenin, supported the idea of forming a small elite of professional revolutionists, subject to strong party discipline, to act as the vanguard of the proletariat, in order to seize power by force.^[50]

Russian soldiers in combat against Japanese at Mukden (inside China),
during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905).
Defeat in the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) was a major blow to the
tsarist regime and further increased the potential for unrest.
In January 1905, an incident known as “Bloody Sunday” occurred when Father Georgy Gapon led an enormous crowd to the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg to present a petition to the tsar. When the procession reached the palace, soldiers opened fire on the crowd, killing hundreds. The Russian masses were so furious over the massacre that a general strike was declared, which demanded a democratic republic.
This marked the beginning of the Revolution of 1905. Soviets (councils of workers) appeared in most cities to direct revolutionary activity. Russia was paralyzed, and the government was desperate.^[51]
In October 1905, Nicholas reluctantly issued the October Manifesto, which conceded the creation of a national Duma (legislature) to be called without delay. The right to vote was extended and no law was to become final without confirmation by the Duma. The moderate groups were satisfied, but the socialists rejected the concessions as insufficient and tried to organise new strikes. By the end of 1905, there was disunity among the reformers, and the tsar’s position was strengthened for the time being.
From its initial creation until the 1905 Revolution, the Russian Empire was controlled by its tsar/emperor as an absolute monarch, under a system of tsarist autocracy. After the Revolution of 1905, Russia developed a new type of government, which became difficult to categorize.

In the Almanach de Gotha for 1910, Russia was described as “a constitutional monarchy under an autocratic Tsar“. This contradiction in terms demonstrated the difficulty of precisely defining the system, transitional and *sui generis*, established in the Russian Empire after October 1905. Before this date, the fundamental laws of Russia described the power of the emperor as “autocratic and unlimited“. After October 1905, while the imperial style was still “Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias”, the fundamental laws were changed by removing the word *unlimited*.
While the emperor retained many of his old prerogatives, including an absolute veto over all legislation, he equally agreed to the establishment of an elected parliament, without whose consent no laws were to be enacted in Russia. Not that the regime in Russia had become in any true sense constitutional, far less parliamentary. But the “unlimited autocracy” had given way to a “self-limited autocracy”. Whether this autocracy was to be permanently limited by the new changes, or only at the continuing discretion of the autocrat, became a subject of heated controversy between conflicting parties in the state.
Provisionally, then, the Russian governmental system may perhaps be best defined as “a limited monarchy under an autocratic emperor”. Conservatism was the ideology of most of the Russian leadership, albeit with some reformist activities from time to time. The structure of conservative thought was based upon anti-rationalism of the intellectuals, religiosity rooted in the Russian Orthodox Church, traditionalism rooted in the landed estates worked by serfs, and militarism rooted in the army officer corps.^[57]
Regarding irrationality, Russia avoided the full force of the European Enlightenment, which gave priority to rationalism, preferring the romanticism of an idealized nation state that reflected the beliefs, values, and behavior of the distinctive people.^[58] The distinctly liberal notion of “progress” was replaced by a conservative notion of modernization based on the incorporation of modern technology to serve the established system.
The promise of modernization in the service of autocracy frightened the socialist intellectual Alexander Herzen, who warned of a Russia governed by “Genghis Khan with a telegraph”.^[59] Imperial Council.

This painting from circa 1847 depicts the building on Palace Square opposite the Winter Palace, which was the headquarters of the Army General Staff. Today, it houses the headquarters of the Western Military District/Joint Strategic Command West.
The Catherine Palace, located at Tsarskoe Selo, was the summer residence of the imperial family. It is named after Empress Catherine I, who reigned from 1725 to 1727. (Watercolor painting from the 19th century.)
Under Russia’s revised Fundamental Law of 20 February 1906, the Council of the Empire was associated with the Duma as a legislative Upper House; from this time the legislative power was exercised normally by the Emperor only in concert with the two chambers.^[60]
The Council of the Empire, or Imperial Council, as reconstituted for this purpose, consisted of 196 members, of whom 98 were nominated by the emperor, while 98 were elective.

The ministers, also nominated, were *ex officio* members.
Of the elected members, 3 were returned by the “black” clergy (the monks),
3 by the “white” clergy (secular), 18 by the corporations of nobles, 6 by the academy of sciences and the universities, 6 by the chambers of commerce,
6 by the industrial councils, 34 by local governmental zemstvos, 16 by local governments having no zemstvos, and 6 by Poland.
As a legislative body the powers of the Council were coordinated with those
of the Duma; in practice, however, it has seldom if ever initiated legislation.

**State Duma and the electoral system.**

Main article: State Duma of the Russian Empire
The Duma of the Empire or Imperial Duma (*Gosudarstvennaya Duma*), which formed the lower house of the Russian parliament, consisted (since the *ukaz* of 2 June 1907) of 442 members, elected by an exceedingly complicated process. The membership was manipulated as to secure an overwhelming majority of the wealthy (especially the landed classes) and also for the representatives of the Russian peoples at the expense of the subject nations. Each province of the Empire, except Central Asia, returned a certain number of members; added to which were those returned by several large cities.
The members of the Duma were chosen by electoral colleges and these, in their turn, were elected by assemblies of the three classes: landed proprietors, citizens, and peasants.
In these assemblies the wealthiest proprietors sat in person while the lesser proprietors were represented by delegates. The urban population was divided into two categories according to taxable wealth and elected delegates directly
to the college of the governorates.

The peasants were represented by delegates selected by the regional subdivisions called volosts. Workmen were treated in a special manner, with every industrial concern employing fifty hands electing one or more delegates to the electoral college.
In the college itself, the voting for the Duma was by secret ballot and a simple majority carried the day. Since the majority consisted of conservative elements (the landowners and urban delegates), the progressives had little chance of representation at all, save for the curious provision that one member at least in each government was to be chosen from each of the five classes represented in the college. That the Duma had any radical elements was mainly due to the peculiar franchise enjoyed by the seven largest towns — Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Kyiv, Odessa, Riga, and the Polish cities of Warsaw and Łódź.
These elected their delegates to the Duma directly, and though their votes were divided (on the basis of taxable property) in such a way as to give the advantage to wealth, each returned the same number of delegates.

“Socialism is Totalitarianism wrapped in a veneer of compassion & empathy.“
Communism is its ultimate goal but always ends as a Dictatorship. Now they have climate, pandemics, diversity and racism to add to their list of issues and controls. In time. We as Americans will be viewed as weak for “letting this happen” to us. I don’t agree. Allow your opponent to overextend themselves,
do too much, push too far. When he is overextended – then your response.

It is a waiting game and we must have patience. The time will come.

Great preparation is needed with this patience strategy, and the unexpected can occur. Look at Russia, 1905-1917.
World War 1 was a “black swan” that aided the Communist takeover there.
It was the Tsarist government that became overextended and was exploited.  Those who believe a reenactment of 1776 will save the day need to consider a few things. They now can use a DEW weapon and vaporize your gun stash from home, and you for that matter.

They also can use 5G Microwave weapons to take you out remotely.

Next-level thinking is needed. They’ve played the slow game up until now!!

Get informed , get involved at the local level and push back! .

We have to fight fire with fire. If we don’t, we all lose..

If we reach these points then a new 1776 will truly begin & I darn well know
what I’ll be on… the Patriot winning side…….. L & L & R

As U can we’RE headed 2, the communist manifesto !

Tomato, Tamoto; The Accelerated Incoming Radiant Light is expansive in nature.

**It WILL and IS ripping the Matrix apart at the seams.**

A quote commonly attributed to American socialist Norman Mattoon Thomas, that America would eventually and unknowingly adopt socialism “under the name of ‘liberalism,’” is often cited in U.S. political debates. It gained renewed currency beginning in late 2008, in conjunction with the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama (whom political opponents labeled a “socialist”) and his subsequent efforts in mid-2009 to enact health care reform in the U.S. (characterized by critics as “socialized medicine”):

A connection between the putative Norman Thomas quote and universal health care was established much earlier, however: in 1961, Ronald Reagan — then still an actor who had not yet embarked upon a political career — cited the words attributed to Thomas during a talk he gave on the perils of socialized medicine: Ronald Reagan speaks out on Socialized Medicine – Audio – YouTube
