NOTABLE QUOTES

Charles ‘Sam’ Faddis a former CIA operations officer with thirty years of experience in the conduct of intelligence operations in the Middle East, South Asia and Europe: How long Taiwan could last on reserves of food and energy already on island is unclear. It is not long. If the CCP blockades the island, and no one comes to the rescue, Taiwan is doomed. It is only a matter of time.

Victor Davis Hanson contributor to American Greatness: There is no schadenfreude in seeing the Left destroy everything it touches—because its claws tear all of us as well.

Ray DeLorenzo contributor to Canada Free Press exposes the agenda of the world’s billionaires who met in 2009 at Rockefeller University a graduate school of biological and medical sciences in Manhattan:  It was determined that there were only two ways to solve the ‘problem’…by either decreasing the birth rate (increase infertility) or increase the death rate or BOTH! The emphasis was not on slowing population growth, but on depopulation, the reduction of the world’s population.

Thaddeus G. McCotter contributor to American Greatness: The alt-Left is conniving to “fundamentally transform” the most prosperous, equitable, and powerful nation in human history into a form of government that has uniformly led to poverty, oppression, and state-sanctioned mass murder.

Ted Noel MD: contributor to American Thinker: The CDC definition of a “COVID case” is a political construct designed to funnel taxpayer money to favored individuals and institutions. It has nothing to do with the course of the disease. Only 6% of “COVID deaths” were exclusively from COVID. The other 94% would likely have died of their other diseases without the virus. Many of those who died would still be alive if the Feds weren’t suppressing HCQ and Ivermectin early treatment protocols…which our “betters” in Congress are themselves reported to be using.

Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge This is beyond disturbing.  According to Dr Pierre Kory, MD, MPA, and verified by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), 100 to 200 congressional reps and/or staff and families who contracted COVID-19 were treated with the Front Line Ivermectin protocol. This successful treatment is happening at the same time many congressional representatives are playing politics in favor of the vaccine; downplaying the effective anti-viral treatment and therapeutic approach with Ivermectin; and taking action to block regular American citizens from seeking similar treatment with Ivermectin.

Varun Hukeri contributor to The Daily Caller: As supporters of universal healthcare begin to turn on unvaccinated people, companies and health insurance providers are also moving forward with plans to impose insurance surcharges and other financial costs.

Jarrad Winter  contributor to American Thinker: It’s easy to feel at war with the rabid and howling vaxxers, but we aren’t really in a conflict with them. If you take a minute to try and get into their heads — walk a mile in their shoes so to speak — and are successful, what you immediately divine is that it’s not hate or anger that primarily motives their tyrannical mandate-mania and endless Wuhan Plague hysterics. These are nothing more than people who are scared of dying or losing someone close to them. As intended by the fear-mongers and marketing departments of vaccine manufacturers, an honest belief that the Grim Reaper is a mere sneeze away (thanks to We The Unvaccinated) motivates their every panic-driven action.

Jeff M. Lewis contributor to American Thinker: There is nothing about CRT that can be of any earthly good to anyone. By its adherents’ rejection of the timeless values that are critical to an individual’s success, CRT crushes the soul. It is a pernicious lie and is the “spirit-murdering” ideological cancer metastasizing in our culture. Like any illness, must be cured or it will kill its host.

David Horwitz founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and Frontpage Magazine: If Black Lives Matter were a civil rights organization, one would reasonably expect its patron figure to be Martin Luther King, Jr., and its aspiration to be King’s vision of a race-free America where individuals are judged on their merits and not by their skin color. Instead, the revered figure and inspirational icon for Black Lives Matter activists is a designated terrorist and convicted cop killer: Assata Shakur.

Bonchie contributor to RedState: Rumors are flying around this morning that Donald Trump may have his first major challenger in 2024. The former president’s Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, is apparently eyeing a run and is planning to do so regardless of whether Trump runs or not.

DEEP STATE

(Oregon) Piper: Lawmakers seek federal grand jury investigation for COVID-19 statistical manipulation
The CDC adopted a “double-standard exclusively for COVID-19 data collection” that inflated cases and deaths starting early in the pandemic, violating multiple federal laws and distorting mitigation policies, Oregon lawmakers told the feds’ top lawyer in the state. Advised by “a large team of world-renowned doctors, epidemiologists, virologists, and attorneys,” state Senators Kim Thatcher and Dennis Linthicum petitioned U.S. Attorney Scott Asphaug to approve a grand jury investigation into how the pandemic is being measured. […] “Public health policy must be based upon accurate and independently verifiable data to optimize outcomes and strengthen the public’s trust in the people leading them through this crisis,” the Republican lawmakers, whose state has imposed some of the harshest and longest COVID restrictions, wrote in a letter with several attached exhibits. One is a synopsis of allegations, findings, relevant law and implicated agencies intended to “assist grand jury members in orienting themselves to the scope of alleged crimes committed.” […]  “I’m not sure there has ever been an allegation of government wrongdoing on this scale,” so the group wanted to assess “accuracy and safety” before going public, relationship manager Bailey Kuykendoll told Just the News.

JANUARY 6

Revolver.news: Federal Protection of “Oath Keepers” Kingpin Stewart Rhodes Breaks The Entire Capitol “Insurrection” Lie Wide Open
Hey Republicans, you can crack open the entire story of January 6, 2021 (“1/6”) with one simple question: what relationship do the FBI and Army Counterintelligence have with Stewart Rhodes? Stewart Rhodes is the founder, boss and kingpin of the Oath Keepers.

Revolver.news: Federal Foreknowledge or Federal Incitement? Arrest of Green Beret Oath Keeper Threatens to Expose FBI’s Darkest 1/6 Secrets
Why has the government avoided indicting Rhodes on an easy lay-up trespassing charge? Why are they protecting him from indictment on more serious conspiracy charges? And if, after 9 months of “investigation,” the Feds eventually hit Rhodes with a minor charge like trespassing, rather than the more serious conspiracy charge so many of his underlings face, what would that imply? This report will answer these questions, and in so doing raise some profoundly disturbing questions related to federal involvement, at the very highest levels, in the events of January 6.

ARIZONA ELECTION: DEJA VU

Neff: Voters Across Arizona Report Receiving Ballots In The Mail For Other Voters
Elections are underway in several Arizona counties, and concerns are popping up about whether voter registration files are being sufficiently updated to prevent voter fraud. In Maricopa County, where the City of Scottsdale is conducting an all-mail Special Election, Anthony Massara was stunned to find three ballots in his mailbox, each with the name of a different person he did not know. Massara told Arizona Daily Independent he purchased his Scottsdale home in 2017. The prior owner used the property as a rental for several years, so when various election mail was delivered in the names of other people Massara simply returned the items to the post office with a note that the person did not live at the address. He did the same thing during the 2020 General Election when he received early ballots (also known as absentee ballots) for three or four voters. But when Massara received three ballot envelopes last week for Scottsdale’s current election, he got in touch with Rep. Leo Biasiucci (R-LD5) who has been a vocal critic of Maricopa County’s election integrity measures.

DEATH BY GOVERNMENT MANDATE

Selivanov: Jessica Berg Wilson’s death shouldn’t have happened
No one should be forced to take a risk they don’t want to. On September 7, 2021, Jessica Berg Wilson died from a risk she was not willing to take but was coerced into. Her obituary photo shows a lovely young woman in the prime of life, with sparkling eyes and a big smile. Jessica was a loving wife and mother who served as a room mom at her children’s school. She had big plans to be the best mother ever for her two little daughters, Bridget and Clara. All that was taken away from her by a vaccine mandate at her children’s school. […] She was 37 years old. Twitter censored Jessica’s obituary, labeling it as misinformation. No one could like or share the obituary until a massive backlash forced the social media giant to capitulate to the truth.

PEACEFULLY & PATRIOTICALLY HAVE YOUR VOICES HEARD

Sundance: Propaganda War – Southwest Airlines Cancels Thousands of Flights, Claims Bad Weather and ATC Issues But Timing is Very Suspicious – Pilots Filed Vaccine Lawsuit One Day Earlier
The communications teams at Southwest Airlines are struggling to hide the cause of thousands of cancelled flights this weekend and blaming Air Traffic Control and weather issues for the issues [Tweet Link].   However, customers are calling out Southwest for their nonsense, as everyone knows large numbers of Southwest pilots are not showing up to work in protest over the vaccine mandate. People stranded in airports, and people working in airports, are responding on social media with the truth; but Southwest Airlines is not willing to admit the push-back from the pilots are the real cause.   The issue has become exhibit-A in the propaganda war currently raging.

THE GREAT GLOBAL RESET: DEPOPULATION

Lorenzo: Billionaires Try to Shrink World’s Population
It’s May 2009, the world’s billionaires secretly get together at Rockefeller University, a graduate school of biological and medical sciences in Manhattan. They’re having drinks, the finest cognac and wines, dinner, the best of everything, with people scurrying to grant them their every need. But, their purpose was not social. It was a strategy meeting, an important discussion…a discussion on the world’s population. As they see it,…the definitive crisis of the millennium. The headline was reported by The Wall Street Journal and The Sunday Times of London. Very few news gathering outlets showed interest. In attendance were Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, David Rockefeller (now deceased), Eli Broad (now deceased), George Soros, Ted Turner, Michael Bloomberg, Oprah Winfrey, and others. Globalists and Liberals all. The Wall Street Journal reported the meeting of the “Good Club” as they called themselves, on May 26, 2009. It is only now that the meeting is beginning to see the light of day. The meeting was instigated by Bill Gates. According to the Sunday Times of London, they joined forces “to overcome political and religious obstacles to change.” It has been reported that a guest explained that…“They wanted to speak rich to rich without worrying that anything they said would end up in the newspapers, painting them as an alternative world government,” he said. (Sunday Times) A consensus was reached. “Nothing as crude as a vote” occurred, but a consensus emerged that they would back a strategy in which population growth would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social and industrial threat.

(REPOST –  A pre-meditated weapon?) Hoft: EXPLOSIVE VIDEO Emerges of Fauci and HHS Officials Plotting for ‘A New Avian Flu Virus’ to Enforce Universal Flu Vaccination (VIDEO)
Alex Jones of Infowars made a special broadcast on Monday night regarding an explosive video of Fauci with HHS officials and other health experts discussing how to enforce Universal Flu Vaccination in a summit organized by Milken Institute in Washington, DC last October 2019. Alex Jones highlighted three clips from the hour-long video of the summit from C-SPAN which proved the COVID-19 pandemic was planned and the Big Pharma worked with the UN and other corrupt government officials to develop and release the COVID-19 virus ahead of ‘Great Reset’. The first clip featured  Michael Specter, a journalist from The New Yorker and also an adjunct professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Rick Bright, the director of HHS Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). In this video, they conceptualized having a new outbreak of novel avian flu virus from China so they can bypass the method of FDA approval and enforce mRNA vaccine to the masses.

VACCINE APARTHEID

Hukeri: ANALYSIS: Universal Health Care Advocates Turn On The Unvaccinated
The financial cost of remaining unvaccinated ⁠against COVID-19 is rising as more companies and health insurance providers are now proposing insurance surcharges and other healthcare costs as a tool to drive up vaccination rates. Such measures have been backed by proponents of universal healthcare and programs like Medicare for All, even though such policies are, in theory, meant to offer all Americans healthcare at little to no cost regardless of their medical status. Elisabeth Rosenthal, the editor-in-chief of Kaiser Health News, has argued unvaccinated people should be charged higher insurance rates as a penalty in The New York TimesCNN and MSNBC. Yet she is a proponent of universal healthcare, writing in a New York Times op-ed in May 2019 that the point of healthcare “is to treat patients, not to buttress the economy.” Arthur Caplan, a prominent medical ethicist, said in an August interview with WBUR that unvaccinated people should “pay a financial penalty” or otherwise be held liable for the cost of avoidable treatment. Yet during the height of the Obamacare debate in 2010, he co-authored an academic paper arguing that healthcare is a “right” and universal health insurance “makes sense.”

(America next?) Sundance: “Papers Please” – New South Wales Australia Officially Celebrates Their First Day of Apartheid with The Introduction of Two Classes of Citizens
Yes, after months of government mandated, police enforced, hibernation and strict COVID isolation, millions of formerly free citizens can open their windows and doors for the first time.  However, they step out of their homes while crossing a new threshold that can never be reversed.  They enter a new era of apartheid, as only vaccinated individuals are permitted to engage in this “Freedom Day” society. Every venue in New South Wales is under strict legal mandate and government forced compliance to ban all non-vaccinated persons from their facilities.    The bright-eyed and squinting sheeple masses are so caught up in the newly permitted freedom, they have yet to fully grasp exactly what this new future entails.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL

Noel: Why Is the COVID Case Count So High?
The CDC used to define a “case” as a patient whose characteristic signs, symptoms, and physical examination matched a disease. Labs were only done if clinically needed. Since the “pandemic,” however, the move to boost case numbers is everywhere. Instantly, a “positive” RT-PCR test in an asymptomatic person after a drive-through tonsillectomy became a “case.” The CARES Act gives thousands extra to hospitals for every “positive,” with a big bonus if the patient’s shadow is seen in an ICU. It’s a classic “one hand washes the other scenario” between outside labs and hospitals. “If you give me more positive results, I get more money, so I’ll send more tests to you.” My hospital’s Medical Staff President flatly denied any CARES Act benefits at our 2020 Medical Staff Extravaganza, but the incentives can’t be denied. My hospital still sends “coders” out to demand that staff order COVID tests to get more payments. Put bluntly, there’s no way to know what any test means medically if the patient isn’t sick. But “positives” definitely mean money!

Sundance: Report, 100 to 200 Congressional Reps and Staff Were Treated with Ivermectin Protocol From Front Line COVID Critical Care Doctors

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON AMERICA’S PARENTS

Kimball: Garland Just Tipped Over the Dominos
Destruction of the family has always been at the center of the collectivist project. In chapter two of The Communist ManifestoMarx and Engels point out that the destruction of private property will never be complete until the “abolition [Aufhebung] of the family” is accomplished. The dream is perennial among snarling misanthropists. A couple of years ago, an interview in The Nation with a radical feminist explained that if you “want to dismantle capitalism” then you have to “abolish the family.”  It is worth keeping that in mind as the little drama of Merrick Garland versus the parents of America unfolds. I wrote about the attorney general’s absurd but troubling memorandum shortly after it was released on October 4. As all the world knows (but only some precincts of the world admit), Garland threatened to mobilize the entire police power of the state against parents. Why?

Diaz: Teachers blast union for telling them to upload vaccination status of student’s parents, their names and addresses to app created by AOC’s campaign team
A national teachers union training session that asks educators to log conversations with parents about the COVID-19 vaccine – into a campaign app built for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s campaign – was blasted as a ‘blatant effort to coerce, manipulate, and even track information on students and their parents.’
The recurring virtual training is hosted by vaccine equity group Made to Save and is sponsored by the National Educators Association (NEA), and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).  ‘Having the audacity to back this type of presentation shows that the NJEA, NEA, AFT, and any other organization involved clearly does not regard educators as professionals or critical thinkers,’ Jennifer Mess, a drama teacher for the Middletown Township Public Schools in New Jersey, told Fox News.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON AMERICA’S CHILDREN

Williams: Big Pharma ‘Must Put Liability Protection on the Table,’ Says Trump Admin COVID Adviser
Dr. Paul Alexander, who previously advised President Donald Trump on COVID-19, demanded that coronavirus vaccine developers, as well as the FDA and CDC, “put liability protection on the table because they are the only ones in this situation who are protected, not the children” while discussing vaccinations for children on “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday. “The science doesn’t support vaccinating persons under 19 for COVID,” Alexander said, citing two studies. “And this is illogical and I think reckless and dangerous.”

Thompson: Trick-or-treating gets the green light! Fauci says kids can ‘go out and enjoy’ Halloween as COVID cases continue to wane but says they should continue to wear masks outside
‘This is a time children love,’ Fauci told CNN’s Dana Bash during Sunday’s State of the Union episode. ‘It’s a very important time for children. I know my children enjoyed it.’ The nation’s top infectious disease expert encouraged participants to get vaccinated if possible, despite the vaccine not being available for children younger than 12. ‘If you’re not vaccinated, think about (how by becoming so) you add an extra degree of protection to yourself and your children and your family and your community,’ he said. ‘It’s a good time to reflect on why it’s important to get vaccinated, but go out there and enjoy Halloween as well as the other holidays that will be coming up.’

DOJ: DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE

Show: Education Company Linked To Merrick Garland Held Workshop Asking Teachers To Read Article Equating Trump Rally Attendees To KKK
A 2021 workshop for educators encouraged attendees to read an article that equated supporters of former President Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan, calling them both “examples of white supremacy.” The workshop, run by left-wing education company Panorama Education, was titled “SEL as Social Justice: Dismantling White Supremacy Within Systems and Self.” SEL stands for “Social-Emotional Learning,” and the company is not shy about explaining SEL is just a way to achieve its “equity” goals. The Washington Examiner reported that the workshop included a slide that referenced a 2020 article from Altagracia Montilla, who describes herself as a “freedom-dreamer, facilitator, and strategist committed to dismantling oppressive systems” who works to build “antiracist” work spaces. The article, titled “How White Supremacy Lives in Our Schools,” equates those who attended Trump’s rallies to members of the KKK. […]
As The Daily Wire previously reported, Panorama Education, which conducted the seminar, was co-founded by Xan Tanner, who is married to Attorney General Merrick Garland’s daughter.

GOP

Reuters: McConnell warns Biden that GOP will not help raise the debt ceiling again in December due to Schumer’s ‘tantrum’ speech and ‘grave concerns that another reckless spending bill will hurt America’
One day after the Senate approved a temporary lift to the U.S. debt ceiling, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden that he would not aid Democrats again in raising the debt limit. Following weeks of partisan fighting, the Senate approved the short-term fix that will allow the United States to avoid defaulting on its bills in a 50-48 vote on Thursday evening. The House will vote on the measure on Tuesday. Congress will need to find a longer-term solution in December. But McConnell has said the reprieve would give Democrats enough time to raise the debt ceiling through a procedural move known as reconciliation, which Democrats have rejected as an option for lifting the cap.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE

Noel: Sen. McConnell actually did a good thing with the debt ceiling
Let’s do a little thought experiment. The Turtle got eleven Republicans in the Senate to vote for cloture on the debt limit extension. Many Conservatives are screaming that he surrendered and all is lost. But what would have happened if he hadn’t done that? […]  So, what actually happened with the cloture vote?

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

Faddis: Today’s Fiction May Be Tomorrow’s Fact – Taiwan Is On The Brink
The man in the White House has, in less than nine months, dramatically altered the balance of power in the world. We are diminished. China is emboldened. Everywhere we are in retreat. We must also acknowledge that Biden came to the Presidency deeply compromised by Communist China. Literally, billions of dollars in CCP money have been funneled to the Bidens over the years. We must consider the very real possibility that what we are seeing is not simply gross incompetence. We may be witnessing deliberate, calculated malfeasance. In this environment, what are the realistic prospects that the Biden administration will come to the defense of Taiwan? What are the chances that Joe and his senior advisors, many of whom are also compromised by the CCP, would direct American air and naval forces to break a Chinese blockade and come to the rescue of Taipei? Any rational person would have to say – nil.
Taiwan cannot long survive a blockade. Taiwan lives entirely on imported energy. It imports one million barrels of oil a day and 2 billion cubic meters of gas a month. All of this has to arrive on the island by ship. If China imposes a blockade, the lights go out. Vehicles stop moving. Business shuts down.
Taiwan cannot feed itself. It has a high population density and produces roughly a third of what its population eats. If a blockade is maintained for any significant period of time the country starves.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Lewis & Thorburn: China’s President Xi Jinping says reunification with Taiwan ‘must happen’ after state media warned that world war three could happen ‘at any moment’
China has warned the US over its involvement in Taiwan and claimed the ‘weak and cowardly’ island authorities will accept reunification ahead of the island’s National Day of celebration tomorrow.  An op-ed in state media outlet Global Times said the US would face ‘unbearable’ consequences for its military involvement in Taiwan and that American troops would be the first to be ‘eliminated’ in a Chinese ‘invasion’.  The piece also claimed Taiwanese authorities were likely ‘to surrender [to reunification] in a few years or even a shorter period of time’ or China would resolve the dispute ‘by force’.
It comes comes amid a rise in aggressive threats and provocative military action over Taiwanese airspace in recent days.
