"The results are in, and the Arizona audit of Maricopa county shows massive fraud in a state Joe Biden “won” by just 12,000 votes. The big numbers include 173,000 missing votes and 96,000 so-called “Ghost” votes. Keep in mind, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors ignored subpoenas and did not hand over all the data asked for by the AZ legislature running the audit. Will Senator Mark Kelly be recalled? Will the 2020 Presidential Election in that state be decertified? All these questions will be answered in the not-to-distant future.

VP Joe Biden is attacking the unvaxed in a new Executive Order (EO) mandating vaccines or weekly CV19 tests. Some are already saying this EO is totally unconstitutional. What happened to the Democrat saying “My Body, My Choice? I guess when it comes to experimental vaccines, you get no choice.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote a letter this week to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and said the USA will stop paying its bills sometime in October if a new debt deal is not reached. In short: The USA is broke. I have never heard of a letter from the Treasury Secretary to Congress sounding this dire. It shows the economy and the finances of America are on very shaky ground. Prepare for rough sailing and hope for a deal."

"The Six Largest Banks Warn Of A 2021 
Stock Market Crash: Be Ready!"
by Epic Economist

"Yesterday, U.S. stocks faced a small but extremely worrying decline - one that indicates that the current bull run can no longer be sustained and a crash seems closer than ever. The market slump is all over the news, and even big Wall Street institutions are flashing red alerts that the all-time high in stocks may not last for much longer and a significant correction is coming. Overvaluation has been worrying market veterans for months, but it has gotten to a point that a slight slip from record-highs could potentially bring the entire market down, which reflects how excess liquidity injected by the Federal Reserve via its Quantitative Easing program has created imbalances that simply can no longer be ignored. The Fed is now in a very tough position because rising inflation means that they have to start tapering bond purchases sooner than expected. But when billions upon billions of printed money stop flowing into the U.S. stock market, an epic collapse will follow. And the seven biggest Wall Street Banks are warning about growing risks in the market, with some of them expecting an imminent crash of up to 20%, while others expect the gradual burst of the stock market bubble.

It's important to highlight that those big financial institutions tend to be very cautious with their warnings not to spook investors and accidentally spark a sell-off that could result in a crash. Of course, they also have to be very careful with their words since they have millions of clients pouring money into their investments and any wrong turns would be equally damaging for the institutions themselves. But this also means that when they finally begin to sound the alarm for a potential "correction" is because the situation doesn't look good at all. With a booming consumer demand and several disruptions in global supply chains - including widespread shortages, labor shortages, delivery delays, low inventories of many consumer goods, and skyrocketing freight prices - inflation levels are looking very scary. In addition to all that, industry executives are stressing that problems in the supply chains are expected to last until 2022, while the UN just warned about a staggering increase in food prices that should also persist until 2022. This is to say that the Fed statements about a "transitory" period of inflation are about to be debunked. The economic rebound is at risk of being derailed by the fast growth of inflation, leaving the Fed no other option rather than initiate its tapering program.

At this point, unless the Fed unleashes another record burst of stock buybacks, which seems unlikely, the only thing holding the market together today is the continued risk appetite among retail investors. But these retail investors that are currently the support pillar that keeps the market stable will only stay in place for as long as easy money policies persist, according to JP Morgan. Data released by the bank found that the strength of the retail flow has pushed equities to near-record highs, pointing to an equity allocation of 46% now, only slightly below the post-Lehman crisis high of 47.6% seen in 2018.

All Wall Street banks know, and the Fed certainly knows too that even the smallest policy hiccup will trigger a furious response in Wall Street, because we already passed the point of no return, and the central bank cannot afford even the slightest drop in stocks without risking a full-blown meltdown and a stock market crash of epic proportions. While most central banks around the world have already started tapering, the Fed continues to postpone its chaotic fate. The European Central Bank announced yesterday that it will start tapering its asset purchases. The Bank of Japan, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, and the Reserve Bank of Australia also announced tapering plans. Amid the most excessively overstimulated economy and markets ever, the Fed continues to $120 billion a month. What is taking the Fed so long to do the same as the other central banks? Well... because it knows that when it starts to roll back bond purchases and raise interest rates, it will inevitably spark a stock market crash, a housing bubble burst, and the collapse of the bond market. This is how the Everything Bubble bursts, and this explosion is going to happen sooner than most people dare to imagine."

“This Vaccine Rollout Is a Nightmare”

“This Vaccine Rollout Is a Nightmare”
by Brian Maher

"Tyrannical. Dictatorial. Medical fascism. Unconscionably unconstitutional... These are some of the devil terms we have heard ascribed to Mr. Biden’s vaccine mandate, yesterday announced. We have heard other colorful descriptions... unsuitable for publication in our pristine, snow-driven pages. The president wagged his finger at the millions of unvaccinated Americans yesterday - and read them a severe lesson.

Here is our own James Howard Kunstler, in searing, scathing, sarcastic summary, giving the president a terrible razzing: "Ol’ White Joe was back on TV yesterday issuing threats to his countrypersons. We are in thrall to a pandemic disease, you understand, this organism called COVID-19 and some 80 million of us have not availed ourselves of the magical vaccine required to prevent the transmission of said organism. We must take the vaccine in order to protect the people who already got the vax - many of them more than one shot - from catching COVID-19.

Hold on now… you say they got multiple doses of the vax but they can still catch the disease? Yes, they can, evidently. OK… well… what kind of vax is it that doesn’t keep you from catching the disease? Oh, a most excellent vax! And you must take it, or lose your income, forfeit your useful position in this economy, give up all the normal routines of existing in a free society.

Then… this is no longer a free society? Oh, but it is… as long as you take as many vaxes as we can force you to take… and by the way, don’t badmouth the vaxes. We will find out and we will deal with you. We’ll come for you. We’ll take away your access to banking. We’ll sic federal agencies on your case. You will become a non-person, perhaps an unperson! There, that’ll fix you!"

Yesterday evening an interview with a hospital nurse drifted in over the transom. In it she blew a deafening whistle. She insisted upon anonymity for fear of retaliatory fire. Her accented voice gave the heavy impression of a Southern rearing, leading us to conclude she nurses in a state with a high reporting of cases - Texas perhaps, where anti-vaccine primitives are said to proliferate in abominable numbers.

This nurse insisted her hospital has not been overstretched by virus sufferers. She claims the greatest increase of cases she has witnessed are - in fact - vaccine casualties: “Blood clots, cardiac issues, neurological issues, balance issues, cognitive issues, aggressive behavior, encephalopathy.” We understand these are commonly documented vaccine aftereffects. Yet when this nurse challenges the physicians with clinical evidence, they pull a zipper across her lips: "I have not had one doctor acknowledge anything I’ve said… it’s completely dismissed. They will not acknowledge it, they will stop you mid-sentence… It’s an unwritten rule, you can’t talk about it. But it’s common knowledge among the staff."

Moreover, incoming patients are subjected to a notoriously faulty “PCR” test. It often gives a false positive reading. Those unfortunates who test positive are corralled in with known COVID sufferers — even if they manifest no symptoms whatsoever - where they are subjected to actual infection. They are often dosed with remdesivir, a supposed therapeutic. It is one of very few medicines the Food and Drug Administration has authorized to battle the virus - even though it has proved a poor combatant.

This nurse affirms the drug yields few positive results. It does… however… yield profound disorders of the heart and kidneys, which she has witnessed. It nonetheless prices at $520 the dose (a generic variant may go for less).  “This has been the standard medication since the beginning,” she claims, frustratingly.

Clinical studies - meantime - indicate the drug ivermectin packs far greater antiviral wallop. Yet it lacks the official imprimatur of the Food and Drug Administration. We mention, only in passing, that one dose of generic ivermectin goes for as little as $4.50. This whistletooting nurse concludes: "None of us is going to take these [vaccines] because we’ve seen what they’ve done to patients... I would go through [the initial phases] of COVID 10 times over, easily, compared with what I’ve seen with this vaccine rollout. The injuries and the loss of life, the loss of function… this is horrific. This vaccine rollout is a nightmare, and the media are completely not telling any truth about what is actually going on with these vaccines."

Is the evidence here presented of the anecdotal type? It is, yes. It is merely one account. Another nurse in another hospital may chirp different tunes altogether. Yet we have encountered similar murmurs from other sources… and we have come to believe there is justice in them. The vast majority of the vaccinated may suffer no aftereffects whatsoever, or merely slight aftereffects. We do not claim otherwise. Yet it offers small, small solace to the hundreds of thousands whom the vaccines have likely wrecked - some beyond salvage. And we believe, heart and soul, that each American is entitled to know.

Below, libertarian writer Jeffrey Tucker shows you how the media have perpetuated a thoroughly discredited falsehood about ivermectin, and why “we are truly living through the worst and most egregious ocean of untruth ever to wash over humanity.” Read on.
"The Hoax That Rocked the Media"
By Jeffrey Tucker

"I hope you do not mind a bit of anger in this letter. Right now, I’m really feeling it. I’m beyond fed up.

This week the entire English-speaking world was rocked with an amazing claim. The issue was the overcrowding of hospitals by people who had overdosed on ivermectin, the therapeutic sometimes mentioned in the context of COVID. Rolling Stone reported - the story is still there albeit with a shy correction - that gunshot victims were being turned away to treat people who had taken the drug. The article had all the perfect makings of a viral internet story. The story even ran with pictures of people standing in lines waiting to get to the hospital, but the picture had nothing to do with reality.

Yahoo, MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Business Insider, The Hill, Newsweek, countless blue checkmarks, revered sources of medical information and so many more shared the story. Multiple millions saw it. It always had a spin: Look at these unvaccinated rubes out there taking medicine made for horses and ruining our medical system.

What idiots.

The source for the story was one person: Dr. Jason McElyea. It turned out, however, that it only took a bit of checking to discover that the whole thing was a hoax. The rural Oklahoma hospital said they experienced no such thing. Dr. McElyea hadn’t worked there in months. There wasn’t a shred of truth to the article. Still, it was shared many millions of times.

The story began with an Oklahoma news channel that quoted McElyea. On closer inspection, the story got worse: The doctor never even made such a claim. The local station ran the story anyway. And still Rolling Stone ran with it, and the story went viral long before anyone even bothered to check it out. It would have taken one quick phone call, and anyone could have done it.

No one did.

None of the people who shared the article on Twitter were banned or even dinged for spreading false information. None of the main “fact check” sites such as Snopes or FactCheck.org has run stories about it. One would never know that it was one of the more viral pieces of fake news this year. A search for ivermectin on their sites reveals only sources that make exaggerated claims for the drug.

What’s behind this? The point is that the major media have a prevailing bias: People and especially Trump supporters are dumb as chickens. They don’t know what’s good for them. They should listen to Fauci. When they do not, they threaten public health in horrible ways. This fake story had all these elements and was therefore perfect. It didn’t matter that not one word was true.

Why This Matters: This isn’t about just this one story. You probably saw it at some point. Now you know it is fake. Probably tens of millions of people saw the story but only a fraction of them will ever know that the thing was entirely made up. They are all victims of a hoax and do not know it. None of the major figures out there who were pushing this claptrap has apologized.

This is about more than this one news item. It is about a story of American life that is flat-out wrong but is widely accepted and perpetuated by the press, and not just in this one instance. It is about nearly everything you read in the press even when the facts are not flat-out wrong, as they were in this instance. It is about the marketing of a much larger lie about who we are as a people.

In the last 18 months, and probably for much longer, this lie has done terrible things to the freedoms and rights we once took for granted.

They have lied about COVID risk, lied about case fatalities, lied by therapeutics, lied about vaccines, lied about the costs of lockdowns, lied about the devastation wrought by school and church closures, lied about masks and social distancing, lied about seasonality, lied about super-spreader events, lied about all the science, lied about the stimulus, lied about monetary policy and lied about the history of the virus.

What’s more, after 18 months, reporters all know this. They are aware of the alternative point of view. It is everywhere on Twitter… until it is banned. It is on Medium… until it is banned. It is on Facebook… until it is taken down. It is on LinkedIn… until the company blocks it. It is on websites… until the server company is forced to stop providing service.

We are truly living through the worst and most egregious ocean of untruth ever to wash over humanity. It happens daily, hourly, minute by minute. And there are ever fewer venues around even to call it out.

When they come after you, they don’t just take down your comments that contradict the official story. They delete your entire life. This is what happened to the greatest voice on the virus out there, Alex Berenson, who has been correct on so much from the beginning. He had a massive Twitter following until his entire account was blown away.

Now historians don’t even have access to his account to prove that he was right. I can’t look back and see what he was tweeting and when. For intellectuals and writers, this isn’t just about blocking some thoughts; it is about taking away their humanity and their main source of value to the world.

It is death.

With What Results? This is not an intellectual game. We are fighting for freedom itself, which is to say fighting for our lives. It’s bad enough how in this country the media have worked as handmaidens of despotism. But have a look at a country like Australia, where people are polite, sweet, well educated and rich.

Vast amounts of that whole nation have been turned into prison states with people beaten and arrested for leaving their homes. In Australian media, it's almost as bad, with only a few voices of dissent. I could go through a huge list of countries where this is true today. It’s beyond tragic.

What’s behind the complete betrayal of the ideal of freedom by the major media and Big Tech? In a word, careerism. Each person involved is choosing a paycheck over principle. They are putting their short-term interests above the interests of humanity. The case I mentioned above proves it. They know now that the story is totally false, and yet they refuse to revisit the issue and admit it. That alone is extremely telling.

What it tells me is: They cannot be trusted. It has become ever more difficult these days to get reliable information about anything. I’ve never had as much appreciation for independent voices and outlets as I have today. Indeed, our freedoms depend on them: your ability to know where to go to get good information and our ability to deliver it to you. This is not just a business model. This is civilization at stake."

2002, “Children in Time”
"This song is from 2002's album 'This Moment Now.' Twenty years ago, Pamela and Randy lived for awhile in different parts of the country, and part of their staying in touch was a steady stream of hand-written love letters to each other. The music on this album reflects a love that transcends distance and time."

"A Look to the Heavens"

“Namibia has some of the darkest nights visible from any continent. It is therefore home to some of the more spectacular skyscapes, a few of which have been captured in the below time-lapse video. We recommend watching this video at FULL SCREEN (1080p), with audio on. The night sky of Namibia is one of the best in the world, about the same quality of the deserts of Chile and Australia.
Full screen recommended. 
Visible at the movie start are unusual quiver trees perched before a deep starfield highlighted by the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. This bright band of stars and gas appears to pivot around the celestial south pole as our Earth rotates. The remains of camel thorn trees are then seen against a sky that includes a fuzzy patch on the far right that is the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy to the Milky Way. A bright sunlight-reflecting satellite passes quickly overhead. Quiver trees appear again, now showing their unusual trunks, while the Small Magellanic Cloud becomes clearly visible in the background. Artificial lights illuminate a mist that surround camel thorn trees in Deadvlei. In the final sequence, natural Namibian stone arches are captured against the advancing shadows of the setting moon. This video incorporates over 16,000 images shot over two years, and won top honors among the 2012 Travel Photographer of the Year awards.”

The Poet: Theodore Roethke, “The Waking”

“The Waking”

“I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.”

- Theodore Roethke

"Not Such An Easy Business..."

“Over the years you get to see what a struggle life is for most people, how tough it is, how easy it is to be judgmental and criticize and stand outside of situations and impart your wisdom and judgment. But over the decades I've got more tolerant of people's flaws and mistakes. Everybody makes a lot of them. When you're younger you feel: "Hey, this person is evil" or "This person is a jerk" or stupid or "What's wrong with them?" Then you go through life and you think: "Well, it's not so easy." There's a lot of mystery and suffering and complication. Everybody's out there trying to do the best they can. And it's not such an easy business.”
- Woody Allen

"The Bewildered Herd..."

“The bewildered herd is a problem. We've got to prevent their roar and trampling. We've got to distract them. They should be watching the Superbowl or sitcoms or violent movies. Every once in a while you call on them to chant meaningless slogans like "Support our troops!" You've got to keep them pretty scared, because unless they're properly scared and frightened of all kinds of devils that are going to destroy them from outside or inside or somewhere, they may start to think, which is very dangerous, because they're not competent to think. Therefore it's important to distract them and marginalize them.”
- Noam Chomsky

"War of the Woke"

"War of the Woke"
by Bill Bonner

"They mainly attributed the peaceful dominion of religion in their country to the separation of church and state. I do not hesitate to affirm that during my stay in America, I did not meet with a single individual, of the clergy or of the laity, who was not of the same opinion upon this point."
– "Democracy in America", by Alexis de Tocqueville

YOUGHAL, IRELAND – "Does freedom pay? Thank the long-suffering people of North Korea for their real-world/real-time test. The elite in North Korea has been telling them what to do for more than half a century… with predictable results – grinding poverty… and outright starvation. And we are grateful. Otherwise, the theory – that the freer the society, the richer the people – would be just a theory… buttressed only by speculation, logic, and anecdotal evidence.

But the test on the Korean Peninsula was almost perfect. Same people. Same resources. Same climate. Same time (the test began in 1953). More or less the same starting position (the U.S. had pulverized North Korea in the war; but so had it smashed up Japan and Germany). The southerners chose freedom – moderated, as always, by government, social norms, and so forth. The group in the North went for non-freedom… ruthlessly, sternly enforced by the Kim Il-Sung and then Kim Jong-Il communist governments.

The result? The South Korean economy is now nearly 100 times bigger than the economy of North Korea. The average South Korean has nearly 50 times more wealth. He will live to an average age of 79, which is 11 years longer than the North Korean male (and a couple of years more than the average man in the U.S.). And to top it off, the free people of the South are between 1 and 3 inches taller than those in the North, thanks to getting enough to eat. 

Conclusion: Freedom makes a big difference in the economic world. But does it work elsewhere?

Born Unfree: Thomas Jefferson, in a flight of fancy or wishful thinking, wrote that “all men are born free…” Clearly, they are not. They are born subject to the laws and regulations of the place they are hatched. In the U.S., Forbes Magazine calculated that some 88,899 rules and regulations were brought in from 1995 to 2016 alone, along with 4,312 laws. And a newborn also has his share of the $28 trillion national debt. No matter that he had no say in it… and got nothing from it.

Religious Crusades: But Jefferson and the Founding Fathers at least tried to put some things off limits to bossy-pants rulers. We now take religious freedom for granted. But that was not always the case. Here in Ireland, for example, Catholics were punished, starved, marginalized, burned out, chased out… driven “to Hell… or to Connaught”… and killed outright.

The “religious” wars in Europe – 1522 to 1648 – took the lives of as many as 18 million people. And earlier still, the Crusades against heretics, the Ottoman Empire, and free-thinkers lasted for hundreds of years – until the last Moor was driven from the Iberian Peninsula in 1492 in the Reconquista.

After that, some different religions were tolerated in some places at some times. In Transylvania, in 1568, for example, the Diet – the legislative, administrative, and judicial body – enacted the Edict of Torda. In it, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Unitarism, and Calvinism were permitted, but they drew the line at outright religious freedom.

Jews generally required special permission to live in a city, except in Poland, where they enjoyed substantial autonomy, given to them in the Statute of Kalisz of 1264.

But it wasn’t until the founding of the United States of America that real religious freedom was firmly established. Instead of granting people the right to practice their religion – or “tolerating” them – the idea in the First Amendment is that religion is none of the government’s business. The feds can give no permission; they have none to give. The result? Here, too, freedom paid off. Different sects competed for hearts, minds, and souls… and generally flourished without resort to violence.

Unfree Speech: And how about Freedom of the Press? One of the cardinal values of a free and prosperous society – also guaranteed by the First Amendment – is the ability to say what you think – even if it is idiotic. But among the dogma of the new Woke Religion is that saying the wrong thing can be almost as bad as violence. If it makes someone feel bad, they say, it is a “micro-aggression,” and should be outlawed.

In the news yesterday was an item from Texas. The University of Texas is being encouraged to eliminate its anthem, "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You", not because of anything in the song itself, but because “it makes black students feel unwelcome.”

Can you talk openly about race in America today? How about the coronavirus… and vaccines? Or sex? You can be as gross and indelicate as you want… but try to talk publicly about the differences between the sexes… and why a man may not be “cut out” to make a good momma… or why you may not be able to turn him into a woman just by hacking off his genitals… and see how far you get.

Say what you really think, and you could lose your job, your career, your friends… and be harassed into hiding. And it’s not the government itself that shuts you up… but the “free press”… and the keyboard warriors on social media! How so? Come back on Monday and we’ll take a look.

"After All..."

“The acceptance of ambiguity implies more than the commonplace understanding that some good things and some bad things happen to us. It means that we know that good and evil are inextricably intermixed in human affairs; that they contain, and sometimes embrace, their opposites; that success may involve failure of a different kind, and failure may be a kind of triumph.”
- Sydney J. Harris

And, of course, the universal and inevitable excuse…
“A person who is going to commit an inhuman act invariably
excuses himself to himself by saying, “I’m only human, after all.”
- Sydney J. Harris

I've always wondered...
Everyone says “Only human…” compared to what?

"There Is No Turning Back After This"
by Michael Snyder

"‘Your refusal has cost us all’: Biden declares war on the 80M unvaccinated Americans in speech ordering mandates on two-thirds of ALL workers and insists: ‘This is not about freedom.’"

This is the most sickening thing that Joe Biden has ever done. That is saying a lot, because Biden has a long history of doing sickening things. For the past couple of hours I have been trying to find the right words to put what we just witnessed into proper perspective. This truly is one of the most pivotal moments in American history, and there will be no turning back after this. We are descending into full-blown tyranny, and I have literally felt sick to my stomach as I have pondered the ramifications. What remained of the country that so many of us once loved is being absolutely eviscerated, and it is deeply heartbreaking to watch it happen.

The new mandates that Biden has decided to impose on the entire country aren’t just un-American. The word “evil” gets thrown around a lot these days, but in this case it perfectly fits the situation. No government has the right to try to put something into your body by force. Many have pointed out that such mandates are uncomfortably close to physical rape, and there is absolutely no place for such mandates in a free and just society.

According to CNN, Biden’s offensive new mandates “could apply to as many as 100 million Americans”, but I have a feeling that the true number could be even higher than that. Biden’s new mandates apply to all federal employees and contractors, anyone that works at any business that has 100 or more employees, and to the entire health care industry.

Previously, the Biden administration had allowed federal workers that didn’t want to be vaccinated the option of submitting to regular testing instead, but now the option for testing is out the window… "President Biden on Thursday signed an executive order mandating that all federal employees and contractors get vaccinated against COVID-19, with no exceptions for those who agree to regular testing for the virus, according to a source familiar with the plans."

Vast numbers of federal employees will now be faced with the heartbreaking choice of either taking an injection that they do not want or giving up their careers. But Biden didn’t stop there. Shockingly, he has decided to target more than 80 million Americans that work for large companies that employ at least 100 workers. The following comes from the official White House website

"The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is developing a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require any workers who remain unvaccinated to produce a negative test result on at least a weekly basis before coming to work. OSHA will issue an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) to implement this requirement. This requirement will impact over 80 million workers in private sector businesses with 100+ employees."

As you read that, you probably thought to yourself that this can’t possibly be legal. And you would be right. But the Biden administration is probably counting on getting in front of some friendly judges that will issue favorable rulings that will make it “legal”.

On top of all this, the Biden administration is also going after any health care institutions that accept Medicaid or Medicare. Here is more from the official White House website… "The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is taking action to require COVID-19 vaccinations for workers in most health care settings that receive Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement, including but not limited to hospitals, dialysis facilities, ambulatory surgical settings, and home health agencies. This action builds on the vaccination requirement for nursing facilities recently announced by CMS, and will apply to nursing home staff as well as staff in hospitals and other CMS-regulated settings, including clinical staff, individuals providing services under arrangements, volunteers, and staff who are not involved in direct patient, resident, or client care. These requirements will apply to approximately 50,000 providers and cover a majority of health care workers across the country."

Basically, this covers pretty much the entire health care industry in this country. Any health care worker that refuses to get an injection won’t just lose a job. In essence, they will become banned from ever working in their chosen field ever again. There is much more to Biden’s plan, and you can read all about it right here.

In his speech announcing these new mandates, Biden made it quite clear what he thinks about our “freedoms”… “This is not about freedom or personal choice,” Biden said. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you.” Others on his side of the political spectrum have also spoken very derisively about freedom in recent days. Sadly, there are millions of Americans that actually support this sort of tyrannical approach.

Of course before he entered the White House Biden promised us that this would never happen. For example, he made the following statement back in December… "While speaking in Wilmington, Del., on Dec. 4, 2020, Biden was asked whether COVID vaccinations should be mandatory. He said, “No, I don’t think it should be mandatory. I wouldn’t demand it to be mandatory.” And as recently as July, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was speaking against any sort of a federal mandate… In July, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that a federal vaccine mandate was “not the role of the federal government.” She was right when she said that. But now here in September she is strongly defending what Biden has just done.

Following Biden’s speech, there was a tremendous explosion of anger on social media, because people are recognizing that this is full-blown tyranny. We have come to a moment when none of our national leaders can afford to be silent. This is a moment that will fundamentally change our country forever, and history will judge those that refuse to take a stand very harshly.

Fortunately, some national leaders are already speaking out. For example, Representative Thomas Massie has correctly recognized that Biden’s mandates are clearly unconstitutional…"Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky blasted Biden’s order as ‘unconstitutional.’ ‘OSHA has no more authority to enforce this (there’s no statutory authorization) than CDC had to issue the eviction moratorium,’ Massie said. ‘Which is to say they both have ZERO authority to do these things. Congress makes the laws in a constitutional republic.’

And a couple of governors are already threatening to take the Biden administration to court. In fact, Kristi Noem says that she has her legal team standing by… Reacting to the news, Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said her “legal team is standing by ready to file our lawsuit the minute @joebiden files his unconstitutional rule.” “This gross example of federal intrusion will not stand,” she said."

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also sounds like he is ready for a legal fight… "She was joined by fellow Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who wrote ‘I will pursue every legal option available to the state of Georgia to stop this blatantly unlawful overreach by the Biden administration’ on Twitter Thursday evening."

Unfortunately, the outcome of such cases is usually determined by the political leanings of the judges that are assigned to them. In this country, most judges simply do whatever they feel like doing. So most of the time liberal judges issue rulings that liberals would like, and conservative judges issue rulings that conservatives would like. Needless to say, it shouldn’t work that way, but at this point our judiciary has become just about as lawless as our society as a whole. And lawless societies almost always end up descending into tyranny, and that is happening to us right now.

These are such dark days for our nation, and they are only going to get darker. For years, I have been pleading for the American people to wake up because our liberties and freedoms were steadily being eroded. Now we have gotten to a point where the guy in the White House is enthusiastically taking a sledgehammer to the few liberties and freedoms that we still have left, and unless the American people stand up and object they will soon be totally gone."

"Then What…?"

"Then What…?"
by Jim Kunstler

"The strange demeanor of CNN’s news readers is telling us something: check out Erin Burnett in the seven o’clock time slot. No affect, like she is on drugs, in a kind of trance… or just going through the motions against her will. Same thing with Kate Bolduan, a sort of permanent half-scowl, as if she’s been told to carry out a detested chore, like cleaning the carpet where hubbie’s old dog had another “accident.” Is it, perhaps, that they just don’t believe the bullshit they are serving up to anxious viewers anymore? Or is it something even darker? That would be my guess. Next thing you know, their heads will start rotating 360 degrees, projectile vomiting pea soup at the cameras.

I surf through all the major cable news channels, of course, to detect the textures, flavors, and odors of the American zeitgeist - the spirit of the times. It’s a harsh, sour thing these days, with overtones of dead skunk wrapped in a used diaper and dipped in vinegar, almost impossible to choke down and process, like being trapped in a room where evil dwells in a bad dream. It’s gotten so that some of us are beginning to wonder about actually living in the presence of true evil. As embodied, say, by “Joe Biden,” the ghostly figure said to be chief executive of the US government - but apparently in the service of forces and entities outside these fifty states.

Ol’ White Joe was back on TV yesterday issuing threats to his countrypersons. We are in thrall to a pandemic disease, you understand, this organism called Covid-19 and some 80-million of us have not availed ourselves of the magical vaccine required to prevent the transmission of said organism. We must take the vaccine in order to protect the people who already got the vax - many of them more than one shot - from catching Covid-19.

Hold on now… you say they got multiple doses of the vax but they can still catch the disease? Yes, they can, evidently. Okay… well… what kind of vax is it that doesn’t keep you from catching the disease? Oh, a most excellent vax! And you must take it, or lose your income, forfeit your useful position in this economy, give up all the normal routines of existing in a free society.

Then… this is no longer a free society? Oh, but it is… as long as you take as many vaxes as we can force you to take… and, by the way, don’t badmouth the vaxes. We will find out and we will deal with you. We’ll come for you. We’ll take away your access to banking. We’ll sic federal agencies on your case. You will become a non-person, perhaps an unperson! There, that’ll fix you!

That pin on the national grenade I’ve been alluding to…? I think Ol’ White Joe pulled it yesterday. Something big is going to blow now. I’m thinking: what remains of the American economy. You see, that 80-million of our fellow countrypersons remain unvaxed for a good reason. This vax has got a rather bad reputation. Not only is it largely ineffective, it can disable and even kill you. The news of this has gotten around, despite the efforts of CNN and The New York Times to conceal it. The active agent in the vaccine, the spike protein, attaches to the endothelial linings of your blood vessels and provokes blood clots in them. It especially likes the capillaries in vital organs: the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, and so on.

This is not good for you. Most adults of moderate intelligence understand that developing blood clots in vital organs is not a good thing. Many such adults in moderately good health might prefer taking their chances of getting Covid-19, wrassling their way through it, and coming out with full-fledged natural immunity, superior to the iffy immunity the vaxes confer (combined with those bonus blood clots).

There is also the matter of effective clinical early treatments for Covid-19 being suppressed by the government, the public health and medical authorities, and those dour babes on cable news. I speak (sssshhhh) of Ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, prednisone, Vitamin D, Zinc, et cetera. MSNBC broadcast a story out of Kentucky Thursday about the terrible surge of Covid-19 ripping through the ICUs there. It was quite a sob story. The patients were all on ventilators (Kentucky docs apparently haven’t heard that the ventilator routine has poor outcomes.) No mention of early clinical treatments with the inexpensive and effective Ivermectin protocol. Has the information not traveled through the Cumberland Gap? Well, boo-hoo, then….

Now, something tells me that of those 80-million unvaxed Americans, most have made up their minds pretty firmly about this. “Joe Biden” speaks from the head of a government that has been lying to them about, well… just about everything, for a number of years, and this Covid-19 virus is one of the sketchiest stories that government has tried to put over - Tony Fauci funding development of the disease in a Chinese lab, and elsewhere… the shady business around the vaccine patents and the royalties from the sales of them… the spooky VAERS numbers… the testimony of quite a few medical giants warning about the vaxes… This “hesitant” 80-million is probably going to take the sage advice of former First Lady Nancy Reagan, and just say “no.” Out of good ol’ American politeness, they may even add… thank you… no, thank you…

If “Joe Biden’s” government insists, the politeness may evaporate, and our countrypersons will walk away. From their jobs. Maybe not every single one of them, but plenty… enough of them… enough to make sure that many of the activities in America seize up, including hospitals and doctors’ practices, with nurses, technicians, and even some doctors walking away. Yes, you will be shocked to learn that even some American doctors still have an ethics module in their well-trained brains. Also, probably trucking, so that things like food and auto parts and medicines don’t get where they are needed - which is, let’s face it, every place. That could harm the US economy, for sure, but it could also harm the administration of “Joe Biden.”

Wait for it. The pin has been pulled. Watch the USA descend into its season of darkness and chaos. Then what…? Redemption is a possibility."
