  15. isn’t this what gatesofhell wanted to do? anyone wanna bet he funded this??? and is launching this stuff from Mexico?? balloons releasing sulfur particles into the air to affect climate change…
    entire article

    The global warming hysteria has now reached such absurd heights that a startup company will now attempt to control the weather via solar geoengineering. Unsurprisingly, such a move could have deadly unintended consequences if widely adopted.

    MIT Technology Review reported Saturday that a company called Make Sunsets has successfully launched weather balloons from Mexico that may have released sulfur particles into the atmosphere. Luke Iseman, the co-founder and CEO, claims that because climate change presents such an imminent threat, bizarre interventions like theirs are necessary:

    “It’s morally wrong, in my opinion, for us not to be doing this,” said Iseman. “What’s important is to do this as quickly and safely as we can.”

    Disturbingly, Make Sunsets made this attempt at solar geoengineering without informing the public or even attempting to engage scientists. Experts who spoke to MIT Technology Review uniformly condemned the move:

    “The current state of science is not good enough … to either reject, or to accept, let alone implement” solar geoengineering, wrote Janos Pasztor, executive director of the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative, in an email. The initiative is calling for oversight of geoengineering and other climate-altering technologies, whether by governments, international accords, or scientific bodies.”

    “To go ahead with implementation at this stage is a very bad idea, he added, comparing it to Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s decision to use CRISPR to edit the DNA of embryos while the scientific community was still debating the safety and ethics of such a step.”

    “Shuchi Talati, a scholar in residence at American University who is forming a nonprofit focused on governance and justice in solar geoengineering, says Make Sunset’s actions could set back the scientific field, reducing funding, dampening government support for trusted research, and accelerating calls to restrict studies.”

    Despite these potential unintended consequences and repercussions to the scientific field, Make Sunsets is determined to cash in. They are already selling $10 “cooling credits” for releasing just one gram of carbon into the stratosphere. But don’t worry, Iseman says, the company will act as responsibly as possible:

    “What I want to do is create as much cooling as quickly as I responsibly can, over the rest of my life, frankly,” said Iseman. He added later that they will deploy as much sulfur in 2023 as “we can get customers to pay us” for.”

    Sure they will. Nothing provides a better incentive for individuals to act appropriately than money with no strings attached. Just look at our wonderful government and your average casino gambler.

    The dangers of solar engineering are profound. One study shows that this type of engineering could threaten wildlife. Implementing and failing to sustain this technology would leave species around the world unable to cope with the changing conditions, causing mass extinction.

    Solar engineering could also lead to mass starvation on a global scale. According to the website DowntoEarth, releasing sulfur particles into the atmosphere above the Arctic, for example, would have catastrophic consequences. This would disrupt the monsoons in Asia and increase droughts, particularly in Africa, endangering both food and water sources for two billion people.

    But who cares about a few billion human and animal deaths as long as the earth cools a bit and radical climate scam artists cash in? Government around the world including here in America better act to ban this dangerous activity before it catches on.

    Playing God never ends well for anyone involved. We all may pay the price for this latest attempt as well.

  16. so who did it?? looked like sixpence filed for presidential race in 2024
    FTA
    The paperwork suggested the former VP would go head to head against Donald Trump in 2024.

    However, a spokesperson for Pence was quick to shoot down the speculation in a short statement on Twitter.

    It said: “Former Vice President Mike Pence did not file to run for President today.”

    It is not yet clear who filed the paperwork on Pence’s behalf.

    The rep told the Washington Post that they’d “have to reach out to the FEC for answers about the filing.”

    An FEC spokesperson told the outlet: “We cannot comment on specific filings.”

    Under the words ‘designation of principal campaign committee,’ the filing reads: “I hereby designate the following named political committee as my Principal Campaign Committee for the 2024 election(s).

    “Mike Pence for President.”

  17. long article but it makes common sense. if the incoming congress has the guts to pursue it, we might stand a chance.
    entire article
    The nefarious $1.7 trillion Omnibus spending bill was passed by progressives in both parties.

    This bill funds bigger government for fiscal year 2023 through September. The bad news is that progressives seized on an initiative to eviscerate the incoming Republican House majority for half of their term. The good news is this bill should not stand because it is unconstitutional. The best news will be when something is done about that.

    The House has authority to initiate spending under the Origination Clause of our Constitution which is Article 1, Section 7, Clause 1. This clause gives power to the House of Representatives to originate revenue bills and supply government. Obviously, it is a power revolving in time, coincidental with terms of office. The House, being elected politicians closest to the people because of their short term of office, has authority and responsibility to tailor government spending to best match the will of voters.

    The 117th United States Congress has exceeded their authority past their term limit by usurping the authority of the 118th Congress.

    Once the 117th Congress has been succeeded in the New Year, they no longer meet, they no longer legislate, they are history. The same is true of their bills becoming laws. Constitutionally, this means appropriations bills can’t extend past their time in office. Otherwise, they are legislating extra officium.

    It does not matter how execrable the practices of the Congress have become. What matters is what the Constitution says. Precedents of bad behavior don’t amount to license. Congress has a long history of engaging in or encouraging unconstitutional actions.

    For example, although the Constitution in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 says only Congress has the power to legislate, Congress and the Courts generally turn a blind eye to both imperial edicts issued as Executive Orders and also to bureaucratic rules which have the power of law. What the Constitution requires is for Congress only to legislate. This means Executive Orders which impact any citizen outside the Executive branch of government must be submitted as a proposal to Congress to pass bills. Similarly, all bureaucratic rules must be submitted to Congress as proposals for passage as bills. Congress doesn’t have the power or authority to delegate legislating to any other body, branch of government, or court.

    If what the 117th Congress did was constitutional, then there would be nothing to prevent the 117th Congress from passing an Omnibus spending bill for fiscal year 2024, too. This would effectively strip the 118th Congress of their rightful prerogatives with respect to revenues and appropriations during the full term of the 118th. The result would be an additional effective term of office for the 117th which would be unconstitutional because they aren’t in office.

    For that matter, there would be nothing preventing progressives from passing a perpetual appropriations re-authorization bill which increases the budget annually automatically in perpetuity (such as is now done anyway annually with baseline budgeting). Progressives would argue this is lawful, and all that is needed is for libertarians and conservatives to pass a different law. But, this negates the Constitution because it implies statutory law and its procedures are all that matters. It would strip the lawfully sitting 118th House of their delegated power to address spending.

    In fact, what progressives want is for libertarians and conservatives to do nothing now in the face of their audacious power play. They will claim that libertarians and conservatives can pass a contrary bill and get that signed into law. Of course, in a practical sense, any replacement bill resulting in smaller government would never become law because of progressive dominance in the Senate and White House. In any case, this doesn’t address the root cause of the problem.

    The Omnibus spending bill passed by the 117th Congress for fiscal year 2023 is unconstitutional.

    Such a brazen action is something you would expect of progressives endlessly pushing back the boundaries of decency from classical liberalism. It is another case of psychological projection during which progressives accuse Republicans of wanting to destroy democracy while they themselves engage in that very action. Usurping the next Congress’s powers is a powerful way to destroy our constitutional republic. The bonus for progressives is this action deflates the enthusiasm of the opposition by exposing the fecklessness of Republican leadership. There is a commitment by progressives to endless outrages until the abnormal becomes less so.

    The first thing the incoming House Republicans should do after being sworn in is declare the Omnibus spending bill unconstitutional. Now we shall see of what substance Freedom Caucus members are made. If this isn’t a hill to die on, then there are no such hills. Republicans should immediately petition for a court injunction barring the Treasury from funding anything related to the 117th Congress’ omnibus spending bill and then get the courts to acknowledge their Constitutional right, as the duly elected 118th Congress, to fund fiscal year 2023.

    The second thing Republicans should do is pass a Continuing Resolution funding government at 2022 levels until lawful and single appropriations bills can be passed.

    The Republican plan for the next two years solely to investigate, raise voices, question and accuse, point fingers, and stomp feet falls under the category of feckless leadership. If Republican leadership think these actions will get play in the Lugenpress, except for being confrontational and divisive, they are delusional. If this is the best result Republicans deliver to their base over the next two years, Republican candidates shouldn’t count on their base going out to vote in the rain or the cold.

    Once the 118th Congress has established its legitimate right to establish fiscal year 2023 spending, there should be substantive actions taken to induce much smaller government instead of growing big government bigger. Omnibus spending, combining all appropriations into one massive bill, and baseline budgeting, automatically growing government programs by the amount of inflation the government actually caused, should be eliminated. There should only be single appropriations bills so these can receive full scrutiny by the public with time to provide feedback to elected politicians.

    Single appropriations bills enable House Republicans to unilaterally achieve much smaller government because no coordination is required with either the Senate or the White House. Government programs, offices, agencies, departments, and administrations can be defunded completely, so they are eliminated. Candidates for complete defunding include the Department of Education, Planned Parenthood, the United Nations (except perhaps for their original missions of peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance), the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Center for Disease Control, NATO, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the corrupt FBI. Finally, Republicans should implement a rule that approval by a majority of the majority is required to move legislation forward so that progressives don’t hijack legislative initiatives.

Parents present at the meeting and seeking accountability from the school board for a special grand jury report, which found the district failed to alert the community of multiple sexual assaults within the district, told the Daily Caller News Foundation the one comment is not representative of their efforts and that their demands have nothing to do with the LGBTQ community.

  34. This is exactly what they tried to do to me!!!!

    Entire Article @ EpochTimes: “Twelve states and the District of Columbia allow local governments and private investors to seize dramatically more than what is owed from homeowners who fall behind on property tax payments, according to a new report. The practice, which Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) calls “home equity theft,” is documented in what the organization bills as the first national study aimed at exposing “the injustice of home equity theft through tax foreclosure.”

    “Our findings are alarming,” PLF’s strategic research director, Angela Erickson, said in a statement. “Home equity theft is robbing thousands of people of their homes and all the equity they’ve built. A system that allows governments and private investors to take more than what is owed creates a perverse incentive to work against the homeowner—not with the homeowner—to get the tax debt paid.”

    Government entities, which often unload properties for a fraction of their market value, collected an estimated $26 million more than they were owed on about 1,300 homes. At the same time, private investors, who purchase tax liens, took in about $250 million more than what they were owed on about 2,600 homes.

    Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, and the District of Columbia have laws on the books that let local governments and private investors “steal” substantial amounts of home equity from homeowners who are late on their property taxes, according to PLF.

    Nine other states—Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and Wisconsin—safeguard home equity in the foreclosure process but provide loopholes that permit governments or private entities to capture excess equity value that PLF says should belong to the homeowner.

    These laws allow government officials and investors to take homes that have been in families for generations and leave some people homeless over tax debts that, in some cases, work out to less than 1 percent of their property’s value, according to PLF. In one case, a county in Michigan seized a man’s house over an $8.41 underpayment, leaving him with nothing. The report notes that in the end, the homeowner prevailed when the Michigan Supreme Court determined that the county had acted unconstitutionally.

    PLF takes the position that these so-called tax-and-take transactions violate the Fifth Amendment, which prevents the government from taking property without just compensation, and the Eighth Amendment, which bans excessive penalties. Some government treasurers’ organizations, counties, and tax lien investors who “personally profit off the system in some of these states” are in favor of laws that lead to home equity theft, Christina Martin, a senior attorney at PLF, told The Epoch Times.

    “Everybody else seems to be against it—groups on the left, right, [and] center,” she said. “The vast majority of people seem to be against this. And most people actually have no idea this is even happening.”

    The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), an alliance of conservative lawmakers, is opposed to home equity theft. Laws should be changed to require surplus profits to be returned to a home’s prior owner after a “tax lien investor or county collects what it is due and any other debts or levies on the property are paid,” ALEC says. The Epoch Times reached out to the Government Finance Officers Association, the National Governors Association, and the National Conference of State Legislatures for comment but had not received a reply from any of the three organizations as of press time.

    PLF currently has three home equity theft-related petitions from homeowners pending before the Supreme Court, all of which are scheduled to be considered by the justices on Jan. 6, 2023.

    Two are from Nebraska. One petition (pdf) is Fair v. Continental Resources, court file 22-160, and the other (pdf) is Nieveen v. Tax 106, court file 22-237. A petition (pdf), Tyler v. Hennepin County, court file 22-166, is from Minnesota.”

  35. “I Support Patriots – Do You?”

    Tom Renz
    3 min ago
    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “This is a short vent I wanted to share with you all about reporting on truth. From the beginning of this fight I have worked tirelessly to ensure that everything I share publicly is accurate and verified. When I have questions about the veracity I share it and when I find out I made a mistake I own it. All that said, I am going to vent here a bit.

    The mainstream media has made it their job to lie and mislead everyone about everything good for America or freedom. They lie intentionally and with purpose (take a look at the Twitter Files for a good public example). I have seen them make up stories about myself and others with zero basis in fact or even reality. Despite this, no one on the left attacks their own about the nonsense they espouse. Rather they circle the wagons and continue to push the lie until no one cares anymore.

    I’m not suggesting we do the same. We do need to hold ourselves accountable to truth and put effort in to being honest. That said, the entirety of the other side spends untold resources covering up the truth and I find it appalling when we attack our own over minor mistakes made in good faith. If you give the real press (the people trying to report truth) the same resources as the mainstream media you could argue stronger against minor mistakes made in good faith, but given the resources available for our side it is remarkable how few errors we make.

    My annoyance at the attacks on ourselves is expanded logarithmically when it comes to nitpicking about scientific nuance or extraneous details reported by our media or other non-scientists. To avoid pointing to anyone, I’ll use myself for an example. I understand much of the science (not all of it) quite well and research endlessly. Across the board I have made very few errors, even minor errors, but have had a couple of people try and rip me when I did. My response is… well, it’s not appropriate to include here.

    I am not afraid of the big bad media, I am not afraid of the crooked politicians or globalists I’m fighting, and I am certainly not going to throw myself to their mercy if I make an error in good faith. Rather, I’m going respond by recognizing my error, pointing out about 100 errors the other side has made, and explicitly pointing out the hypocrisy. This is more difficult when it comes from someone on our own side because I’m left with allowing myself to be attacked by someone from the same team or discrediting someone from the same team – neither of which are good.

    God has gifted me with a very sharp tongue when I choose to use it, but using it against our own seems distasteful. For my part, I intend to support the people on our side that are fighting the good fight. I’ll listen to all perspectives but will only move forward with what I personally understand and can argue. That said, if I find I am wrong I’m happy to admit it and correct the record. Further, I’ll keep my attacks focused on the enemies of freedom… not teammates taking a different approach.”

  36. “Who Becomes the Next RNC Chairman is Less Important than What The RNC Should Become. We’re asking the wrong questions, as usual.”

    Raheem Kassam
    6 min ago

    EXCERPT: “Apologies for some recent absence. I hope you all had a Happy Christmas. I continue working on some projects which are not yet ready for public consumption. But they will be, soon. That – and I had a terribly long flu-type illness over Christmas. No idea what it was, but it was awful. Anyway, we’re back now, and I wanted to answer some a question I’ve received a lot, recently: who should be the Republican National Committee chairman? Well, here’s why I couldn’t care less:

    Consider the incumbent, Ronna Romney McDaniel – who continues to claim victories after every humiliating defeat – and who has been spending gargantuan sums of donor (your) money on hospitality, private flights, luxury hotels, flowers, and gifts for her friends. Not to mention what else. As if we needed further evidence that she was a useless, selfish, swamp creature (we didn’t).

    That someone like McDaniel could have assumed this position and held it so long while behaving in such a manner is a stain on leading conservatives, political news reporters, and indeed the GOP base. Someone, somewhere, should have caught all this. I’m willing to point as many fingers at myself as I am at others, since you ask. But then, I haven’t been in the business of legitimizing her, either. Many have. Questions will be asked. One of those questions you may have is: “How does Ronna McDaniel have the audacity to even show her face anymore?” Simple. It’s a different face, every time.”

  38. Oh, great….now Jake’s got something going on with his upper respiratory tract – sneezing and coughing…..sigh….I can’t imagine how he got anything since he and LM have never had direct contact. LM has only been in the house 3 times, all in the back bedroom when Jake was shut in the front of the house. He rubbed his cheek on a couple of things in my bathroom but that’s it. SMDH

      1. No, this is different. Been looking up home-remedies – one is to provide moisture in the air so I’m going to (1) get my humidifier going and (2) shut him in the main BR, turn the shower on hot, and let him stay in there for 10-15 minutes breathing in the steam. He has been off his food, too, which is another symptom. Whether that was brought on by LM’s presence or not, who knows? Even animal emotions can cause illness, just like humans.

  39. EXCERPT: “It’s crunch time for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Members of Congress departed Washington on Friday with the group of House Republicans voicing opposition to McCarthy for Speaker showing no signs of wavering, setting up a dramatic Jan. 3 Speaker’s vote — or series of votes — on the first day of the 118th Congress.

    McCarthy brushed off a question on Friday asking how he plans to lock up support over the holidays, saying he plans to “go home; have a really nice Christmas.” At least five House Republicans have explicitly said or strongly indicated they will not vote for McCarthy to be Speaker, and several others have withheld support for him as they push for commitments on governing priorities and rules changes that would empower individual members.

    No Speaker vote has gone to a second ballot in a century. But with House Republicans heading into the majority with 222 seats to 212 for Democrats and one vacancy, that opposition could keep McCarthy from securing the gavel. He needs 218 votes, assuming all members are present and voting for a candidate.

    As the GOP leader aims to secure the votes to be Speaker, he is making overtures to his critics, and his allies are mounting a forceful show of support. He said he supports requiring 72 hours between release of final bill text and a vote in the House, one request laid out in a letter from seven current and incoming members.

    After several of those withholding support from McCarthy said last week that the House should block bills from GOP senators who vote for the omnibus government funding bill, McCarthy endorsed the idea and pledged those bills would be “dead on arrival in the House” if he is Speaker.

    And in an acknowledgement of his critics’ call for a “Church-style” committee to investigate alleged government abuses, McCarthy similarly called for a “Church-style” investigation into the FBI and CIA. The name is a reference to a 1975 Senate select committee named for former Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) that investigated intelligence agencies.

    “He’s grabbing it and using it and talking about it. I’m not surprised because we’ve been talking about it for a while,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who has not confirmed how he plans to vote on Jan. 3 but has repeatedly said McCarthy does not currently have the votes to be Speaker.”

  40. my goodness, this rep lied about everything to get elected…
    FTA
    Long Island congressman George Santos came clean to The Post on Monday, admitting that he lied on the campaign trail about his education and work experience — but insisting that the controversy won’t deter him from serving out his two-year term in Congress.

    “I am not a criminal,” Santos said at one point during his exclusive interview. “This controversy will not deter me from having good legislative success. I will be effective. I will be good.”

    Santos’s professional biography was called into question earlier this month after the New York Times reported that he misrepresented a number of claims, including where he attended college and his alleged employment history with high-profile Wall Street firms. Santos confessed Monday that he had “never worked” for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, chalking that fib up to a “poor choice of words,”

    He also admitted that he never graduated from any college, despite previously claiming to have received a degree from Baruch in 2010. “I didn’t graduate from any institution of higher learning. I’m embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume,” he said. “I own up to that … We do stupid things in life.”

    Santos was also accused of lying about his family history, saying on his campaign website that his mother was Jewish and his grandparents escaped the Nazis during World War II. Santos now says that he’s “clearly Catholic,” but claimed his grandmother told stories about being Jewish and later converting to Catholicism.

    Santos, the first openly gay non-incumbent Republican elected to the House, also faced accusations that he lied about his sexual orientation, with the Daily Beast reporting that he was previously married to a woman until 2020. He confirmed to the Post on Monday that he was indeed married to a woman for about five years, but that he is now a happily married gay man.

    Santos also acknowledged being a deadbeat tenant in Sunnyside, Queens, claiming that his family was deep in medical debt from his mother’s illness.

  41. no law he won’t break for political gain…
    entire article
    After illegally bailing out college graduates with a $400 billion student debt amnesty, President Joe Biden is back at it again. This time, he is illegally boosting food stamp benefits by $200 billion. House Republicans should put an end to both of these illegal measures.

    According to a Government Accountability Office report released last week, Biden’s Department of Agriculture abused its authority under the 2018 Farm Bill to speed up a review of food costs required by the legislation. It also broke its own guidelines when arriving at those costs. As a result of these illegal changes, food stamp benefits increased beyond inflation for the first time in 45 years.

    Since 1975, the USDA has created food plans that represent a suitable diet at four different price points: thrifty, low-cost, moderate-cost, and liberal. Food stamp benefit levels have always been set at the Thrifty Food Plan level. The USDA has reevaluated these levels three times since 1975, most recently 15 years ago.

    The 2018 Farm Bill called for a new evaluation to be completed by 2022, with reevaluations every five years after that. This revaluation is essentially a computer model that inputs food, price, and nutrition data to create “Market Baskets” of foods and beverages necessary to support a healthy diet.

    The Biden administration, according to the GAO, essentially cooked the books of its computer model, breaking almost a dozen internal USDA guidelines along the way, to produce a whopping 21% increase in the maximum food stamp benefit.

    Predictably, even after presented with the GAO’s conclusions, the Biden administration was unapologetic about its illegal activity.

    “We stand firm on both the quality of our work and the difference it made in millions of people’s lives,” USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said in response to the GAO report. “We owed it to the American people to get the revaluation done well and get it done quickly — and that’s exactly what we did.”

    From its illegal student bailouts to its complete refusal to enforce our nation’s immigration laws, to this food stamp bonanza, Biden has proven there is no law he won’t break for political gain. House Republicans should not give the USDA another dime until it rescinds this food stamp bonus and redoes the reevaluation as required by the 2018 Farm Bill, this time in accordance with established USDA guidelines.

    1. “….to help them with every step of their transition…” – uh-huh! You mean force them to include your poison chemicals and GMO seeds, asswipe!!!!

      EXCERPT: “The USDA is putting $300 million into a new Organic Transition Initiative aimed at helping to build new and better markets, as well as streams of income for farmers and producers. On Aug. 22, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced details of the USDA’s investment, which will include American Rescue Plan funds.

      “Through this multiphased, multiagency initiative, we are expanding USDA’s support of organic farmers to help them with every step of their transition, as they work to become certified and secure markets for their products,” Vilsack said in a statement.

      USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service, Risk Management Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service are the primary agencies supporting the initiative, which will focus on three areas, including a Transition to Organic Partnership Program, direct farmer assistance and organic pinpointed market development support.

      In a phone interview with The Packer prior to the announcement, Vilsack provided background and additional details on the new initiative, which he says is the USDA’s second and “fairly significant” step in developing and advancing the U.S. market for organics. The following has been edited for length and clarity.”

  44. “Keeping up with the WEF — Davos 2023 in Jan: “Cooperation in a Fragmented World”

    Robert W Malone MD, MS
    13 min ago

    Get your tickets now (snark) for DAVOS 2023, held January 16-20, 2023. The event is fast approaching!

    The topic for this year’s event:

    The title and description of Davos 2023, describe an organization under pressure. Let’s take the win. I think we are making an impact…Of interest is that the WEF no longer lists Twitter on their Social Media list of accounts to follow. How far the mighty have fallen (or risen, depending on your point of view).

    Watch out for the whiplash (no pun intended). Of course, what is fascinating about that this little tidbit of a news story of the great un-following is how Elon Musk was recently the Davos darling, the Diva, the debutante of the Davos Ball, until he wasn’t. One can’t hardly keep up. One wonders if Mr. Musk even received an invitation this year?”

  45. “How an Occupied Twitter Ruined Countless Lives”
    BY Jeffrey A. Tucker, DECEMBER 26, 2022 LAW, TECHNOLOGY 7 MINUTE READ
    ENTIRE ARTICLE @ Brownstone: “From the beginning of the Covid panic, it felt that something was very wrong. Never had a pandemic, much less a seasonal pathogenic wave, been treated as a quasi-military emergency requiring the upending of all freedoms and rights. What made it more bizarre was how alone those of us who objected felt until very recently when Elon Musk finally bought the platform Twitter, fired all the embedded federal agents, and has started to release the files.

    As Elon said, every conspiracy theory about Twitter was true and then some. And what applies at Twitter pertains equally to Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and all platforms associated with those companies (YouTube, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp). The proof is all there. These platforms colluded with the federal government’s administrative arm to craft a particular Covid narrative, throttling and censoring dissidents and boosting any credentialled expert who was willing to toe the line.

    At this point, it is wise to trust no one and nothing but those who fought against this nonsense. As the crisis began, I was blessed with an unusually large reach on most platforms. But I sat by and watched it dwindle to nothingness as the months went on. Yes, I had posts pulled but I was never banned. It’s just that my channels of communication shrunk dramatically by the months and weeks.

    This was tragic for me simply because I watched the population gradually fall into a medieval-style disease panic that tore families apart, kept loved ones from traveling, wrecked businesses and churches, and even violated the sanctity of the homes. This “invisible enemy” about which everyone in government was going on about shredded the whole social fabric.

    I had been writing about pandemics and interventions for 16 years, warning repeatedly that this was possible. Knowing about this history, and having a platform to speak, I felt a very strong moral obligation to share my knowledge if only to make some contribution to calm people down and perhaps relax some of the impositions on liberty. But at that very moment, my voice was nearly silenced. And I was hardly alone. Hundreds and thousands of others were in the same position but we had a very difficult time even finding each other.

    There was one exception early on. I wrote a piece on Woodstock and the 1968-69 flu season. A fact-checker rated it as true and the Facebook algorithms really screwed up. Facebook pushed it out for about two weeks before someone figured out what was happening and then throttled it back heavily. Or perhaps there was one employee there who made it so. I really do not know. In the meantime, this one article garnered millions of views and shares.

    It was my first experience with the astounding power of these venues to shape the public mind. People innocently use all these tools without the slightest understanding that there is a reason why they are seeing what they are seeing. Every word or picture you see on your apps is there for a reason, a choice of this or that, and the driving force here is what powerful people what you to see and not see.

    We know now that the stream of information is carefully curated by algorithms and human intervention, not to fit with your interests as they once claimed, but to fit with regime interests. In other words, what people used to say about the CCP role in the management of TikTok applies fully in the US today with all the main tech companies. And please keep in mind, we only know this because of the dump of Twitter files. All of this is still happening at Google, Meta, and LinkedIn. The latter removes posts by Brownstone often. And the rest throttle our reach.

    This has been going on for years, but Covid intensified it all. Even from the beginning, something was very off. For example, on March 19 – the day after the Fauci/Birx/Trump press conference and the day before CISA seized control of all labor markets – an obscure digital education entrepreneur named Thomas Pueyo came out with an implausibly documented and comprehensively argued piece called The Hammer and the Dance.

    It was an elaborate argument for locking down to flatten the curve, complete with fancy graphs and pseudo-scientific blather of every sort. The author was essentially unknown but within 24 hours, the piece was garnering many millions of shares and being spread everywhere by all the big tech platforms, as if it were some kind of canonical treatise. I doubt seriously that he wrote it – no way in one day; it had to be planned for weeks – but rather that he volunteered his name to be attached to it. It became the most important framing of the lockdown that appeared that month.

    Watching that one preposterous article take over so aggressively, even as dissidents’ writings slipped into nothingness, including my own, was quite a bit of digital magic to behold. But we know now it was not magic. It was a policy. It was an intention. It was a propaganda ploy. Again, we must understand that this is still going on right now, with the only real exception among the larger players being Twitter.

    There is one solace. We know now that we were not all going crazy. It was all deliberate. Matt Taibbi puts it well:

    ‘Sometime in the last decade, many people — I was one — began to feel robbed of their sense of normalcy by something we couldn’t define. Increasingly glued to our phones, we saw that the version of the world that was spat out at us from them seemed distorted. The public’s reactions to various news events seemed off-kilter, being either way too intense, not intense enough, or simply unbelievable. You’d read that seemingly everyone in the world was in agreement that a certain thing was true, except it seemed ridiculous to you, which put you in an awkward place with friends, family, others. Should you say something? Are you the crazy one?

    I can’t have been the only person to have struggled psychologically during this time. This is why these Twitter files have been such a balm. This is the reality they stole from us! It’s repulsive, horrifying, and dystopian, a gruesome history of a world run by anti-people, but I’ll take it any day over the vile and insulting facsimile of truth they’ve been selling. Personally, once I saw that these lurid files could be used as a road map back to something like reality — I wasn’t sure until this week — I relaxed for the first time in probably seven or eight years.’

    So far, thanks to the great work of David Zweig, who has somehow managed to elude the censors all along (he was in attendance at the original Great Barrington Declaration event, god bless him), we have a better accounting of what happened. Names we all recognize as friends are listed, including Martin Kulldorff and Andrew Bostom, but there are thousands more. There is no question in my mind that my own accounts were targeted.

    This is about much more than free speech and the operation of media channels without government intervention. The Covid controls utterly smashed American liberty and social functioning, resulting in mass suffering, educational losses, shattered communities, and a precipitous collapse in public health that has shaved off years in life expectancy and caused an explosion of excess deaths.

    It might have been stopped or at least lessened in duration with some open discussion. This is not just of interest to tech and legal geeks. The closing down of opinion and debate resulted in unspeakable human carnage. And even as I write, the largest sources of the mainstream media are still refusing to report on this. Ask yourself: why might this be? I think we all know the answer.

    As a final note, I can assure you that this is only the beginning. The full story ropes in the whole of the administrative state, FTX, huge nonprofit organizations, and many back channels of power, money, and truly evil collaboration. We may never get the full story, and justice as always will be elusive, but we cannot let this moment in history slip by without as much accountability as we can provide.”

  46. “Rand Paul Demands Answers About DNI Funding Of Chinese Military BioWeapons Research”
    Written by Wes Walker on December 27, 2022

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “It’s no longer a question of did we shovel money at Chinese Bioweapons projects. Now it’s a question of who and how much? Remember how smug and condescending Fauci was during Congressional questioning? Was that because he was confident that powerful forces would cover his six? Rand Paul wrote an article for Front Page Magazine about the latest developments in the money we sent to Wuhan.

    Right from the opening paragraph, he came out swinging: ‘Last week, a bombshell intelligence report on the origins of COVID-19 was released by House Republicans with the explosive discovery that the United States government funded genetic manipulation of coronaviruses, not only at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but at a Chinese Military research facility. –FrontPage’

    Obviously, China is going to play games with us, and has no intention of admitting guilt. But we shouldn’t expect the same treatment from our own side — especially when it comes to people over whom Congress has legitimate direct oversight. Rand Paul wants answers, and he’s willing to play hardball to get them.

    From the same article: ‘House Republicans have released a document which reveals the U.S. government funded a Chinese Military Research Institute where a coronavirus scientist and general by the name of Zhou Yusen announced February 24,2020 that he’d already developed a COVID vaccine. Vanity Fair published that three scientists they consulted felt that General Zhou would have had to have the genetic sequence in November to possibly develop a vaccine so fast. The official date China admitted to knowing the COVID sequence was Jan. 11, 2020.

    We know that at least two Wuhan labs have published experiments where they insert furin cleavage sites into coronaviruses. The furin cleavage site allows the coronavirus to infect human cells. When COVID was sequenced, scientists discovered it to be the first SARS-like coronavirus to have a furin cleavage site. House Republicans, including Intel Chair Mike Turner, have told the Director of National Intelligence that they will withhold funds if the Intel community doesn’t come clean. This story isn’t over and neither is the story of the COVID cover up. — FrontPage’

    We already know that Peter Daszak and Eco Health Alliance were a conduit by which Fauci was shoveling money to Chinese labs. Where there others? If so, how many, and who ran them? The administrative state has gotten far to comfortable running their operations in the shadows of legal grey areas or sometimes open defiance of the laws that bind them. It’s time for some oversight to push them back into the light.”
