NOTABLE QUOTES

Dr. Naomi Wolf in a Steve Banon interview: We are raising impaired children with Asperger’s type qualities even though they started out perfectly fine. [Masking]  It is a criminal act that will last them the rest of their lives if we don’t step in.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Meet the Press: I think certainly our first priority is to make recommendations, and we’re looking at things like do we need additional enhanced criminal penalties for the kind of supreme dereliction of duty that you saw with President Trump when he refused to tell the mob to go home after he had provoked that attack on the Capitol. So there will be legislative recommendations, and there certainly will be information. I can tell you. I have not learned a single thing since I have been on this committee that has made me less concerned or less worried about the gravity of the situation and the actions that President Trump took and also refused to take while the attack was underway.

Sundance contributor to The Last  Refuge:  Following the ‘democracy must be destroyed in order to preserve it model‘, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dissolved all political opposition parties and consolidated all media. There’s a word to describe when a single national leader takes control over all media platforms and dissolves the political parties of his opposition.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on CNN’s Newsroom:  . . .look, if Donald Trump gets the Republican nomination, there are many of us that will move heaven and earth to ensure he doesn’t win. I think that’s the most important. He cannot be president again.

Joy Pullmann contributor to The Federalist: When elections are an elaborate charade and their outcomes are openly manipulated by giant special interests, we don’t have self-government, self-determination, democracy, constitutional government, representation, or any of the above. For those of us who love these things because we believe they are our God-given and precious rights and responsibilities, this is a dark reality to behold. One might call this world the left wants to live in Chinese communism with American characteristics. Well, I don’t want to live in that world, and neither do at least 74 million other Americans. We’re not going to keep being abused by our own government quietly. And we’re not going to believe these liars, no matter what they say. The top names on everyone’s mind when they hear the word “disinformation” ought to be The New York Times, Twitter, Facebook, The Atlantic, and all their corrupt, self-congratulating Aspen Institute friends

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Dwyer: Justice Clarence Thomas hospitalized with infection, Supreme Court says
Justice Clarence Thomas has been hospitalized with an infection, the Supreme Court announced in a statement. Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday evening after experiencing flu-like symptoms, Supreme Court spokesperson Patricia McCabe said in a statement.
He was diagnosed with an infection after undergoing tests and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics, McCabe said. She did not provide more details on the nature of the infection. “His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two,” McCabe said.

Daley: Read the Letter Biden’s SCOTUS Pick Wrote Calling a Journalist ‘Irredeemably Evil’
While clerking for a federal judge, Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson denounced a Boston Herald columnist as “irredeemably evil” for criticizing unrestricted immigration. Jackson wrote a letter to the editor of the Herald in response to a piece from columnist Don Feder that noted that the population of white people in America could decrease steeply as a result of open borders immigration policy. The text of both 1997 writings were obtained by the Free Beacon through a news archive. “To my mind, he’s also like the liberal’s purported view of American history—irredeemably evil,” Jackson wrote of Feder, whose column also attacked black civic leaders such as Louis Farrakhan. The judge disclosed the letter in a questionnaire for the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Brown: 5 Things to Watch As Ketanji Brown Jackson Testifies This Week
This time around, with Biden in office and his nominee being propped up by leftist groups even before Biden swore his oath, the hearings will take a different tone as Democrats seek to swiftly move through the hearings and onto the confirmation vote by the full Senate. Here are five things Townhall is watching:
Public Relations Help from the Mainstream Media In the days leading up to this week’s confirmation hearings, leftist talking heads on TV accused conservatives of inciting violence against Judge Jackson — simply because they’ve pointed to the verified record of Biden’s nominee on previous courts and related positions. Liberal opinion writers have already painted Republicans as misogynistic racists for asking questions about Judge Jackson’s record — arguably the main point of confirmation hearings held by the Senate. The mainstream media’s . . .

THE DEEP STATE

Sundance: If U.S. Intelligence Will Lie So Easily About Anything, Why Would We Believe Them About Ukraine?
When we wrote about the media effort in 2018 {Go Deep}, specifically the collusion between the intelligence and national security agencies of the United States government, I asked the question, “Do we really think such a catastrophic level of corrupted journalism could reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?”  The answer then, as now, is the same, NO.  Indeed, it has only gotten worse in the past four years. […]  Considering the scale and scope of the conflict, and considering the Ukraine population of more than 30 million is far larger than Canada, and considering that population is located in a country the size of Texas, and considering they are a western technologically connected society with tens of millions of cell phones, we should be seeing a great deal of footage, pictures and images from ordinary Ukrainian citizens.  However, we don’t. Why?

JANUARY 6

Kaminsky: He’s Facing 20 Years For January 6 Charges. His Lawyers Say He Just Went To Protest.
Brady Knowlton entered the U.S. Capitol building at 2:35 p.m. on January 6, 2021. Like hundreds of other people that day, he walked the halls of Congress — first the Rotunda, then the lobby, then the Senate chamber gallery. A 40-year-old law student, Knowlton and a friend gained access to the Capitol through the Upper West Terrace doors. To do so, they and others passed several police officers walking in their opposite direction, according to footage and discovery materials reviewed by The Daily Wire. Knowlton told The Daily Wire that an officer said, “You can go in, as long as you don’t break anything.” He says he watched police shake hands with protestors. He broke nothing, and left after 18 minutes. He now faces about 20 years in prison. His law degree has been withheld, his lawyers say, Airbnb has banned him and his wife, and, for reasons that remain undisclosed, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stripped his Global Entry access. […]  At least 800 people have been charged in the Capitol riot, and hundreds with obstruction. […]  But Knowlton, now 41, has recruited a team of high-profile attorneys who hope the court examines the evidence without judging him by the actions of other defendants. They view his case as having major First Amendment implications.

GOP

Moran: Cheney Says Russian Use of Chemical Weapons Would Be a ‘Red Line’ for NATO Intervention
“I think that we in the West, the United States and NATO — we need to stop telling the Russians what we won’t do,” Cheney said to Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet the Press. “We need to be very clear that we are considering all options, that the use of chemical weapons is certainly something that would alter our calculations.” […] Besides, what is Cheney talking about when she mentions NATO in the same breath as “intervention”? She doesn’t mean the NATO alliance; she means the United States. The U.S. is the only nation capable of ferrying thousands of troops to the battlefield in Ukraine in a matter of days. We’d have our troops deployed before any other NATO member would have mustered more than a handful of troops. […]  Are we really going to blow up the world to protect Ukrainian oligarchs? Putin cannot be allowed to get away with destroying an independent state. But neither is the continued national existence of Ukraine worth one single American life, much less the end of human civilization.

Schlichter: Hey GOP, There’s More Than Just Ukraine Going On
There’s this thing called multitasking and we GOP voters expect the Republicans to try it out. Democrats? Nah, because we expect nothing from Democrats. But the Dems are good at multi-tasking. Even as they pretend to be butch about Ukraine – such fakery is rivaled only by the bride’s performance on a Bulwark staffer’s wedding night – they simultaneously embrace such initiatives as schoolhouse kiddie grooming and women’s sports champions who are dudes. They can focus on more than just Ukraine. Of course, we actually expect nothing from Republicans either, but at least with them we normals have a chance to influence their behavior, even if only by threatening them with a primary by someone based who will drag them back to America from their DC estates and make them campaign amongst the unwashed. There are a lot of miserable things going on here at home in addition to the Disney-approved kindergarten perversion propaganda and girl athletes who are boys crises. We have an elite treating the idea of free speech like Bill Clinton treated his wedding vows, gas prices higher than Cheech & Chong hanging at Seth Rogan’s place, and a border that is open wider than Ana Navarro’s pie-hole at Golden Corral’s Endless Fountain of Ham. We have a potential Supreme Court justice who thinks kiddie porn pervs should get a slap on the wrist and an election system that is a slap in the face to democracy. Burger is $7 a pound and Jussie Smollett is free – and don’t be surprised if his double jeopardy argument works on appeal! Yeah, there are a lot of bad things going on here in the US of A thanks to that desiccated old pervert in the White House, but we’re not hearing enough about them from Republican poobahs.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN

Why the teachers’ unions want to keep children masked. Children raised and socialized during the two years of the pandemic have a  21 drop in IQ. Also, the chain of fraud in CDC data. Gates funded entity unlawfully hired to manage the data. An entity that benefits from high child covid  counts.

Noel, M.D.: The Medical Establishment’s Willful Blindness About Vaccines and Children
The pediatric literature is even more damning. Numerous studies have shown that young children are simply not affected by COVID in a significant way. They don’t get particularly sick. They don’t pass it from one to another easily. And more importantly, they rarely pass it to adults. But Pfizer played games to avoid showing the harms from the vaccine, so Dr. Wilkoff can be forgiven for not seeing the new literature on that. He’s actually busy treating patients. So he wouldn’t know that the British government reports that “N antibody levels appear to be lower in people who acquire infection following two doses of vaccination.” In other words, your immunity drops after vaccination. But I thought that vaccines were supposed to make you immune…. So far, we’ve only looked at the risks from COVID. But as a pediatrician, he should be aware of myocarditis…unless he simply accepts the CDC blather that “Most patients with myocarditis or pericarditis who received care responded well to medicine and rest….” After all, he’s a practicing pediatrician and doesn’t have the time to dig into the data. But he does have time to write several books and prepare his op-ed…. When the facts are on the table, we find that the CDC is lying.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL

Key: Fauci: We Have to Be Prepared to Reinstitute Some Restrictions for COVID Variants
Discussing the new BA.2 variant of COVID, Fauci said, “It has a degree of transmission advantage over the original Omicron. Not a multi-fold advantage. It’s about 50 to 60% or so more transmissible. It means over time. It might take over as the dominant variant. Throughout the world, it’s about 80 plus percent, 85% of the isolate. In the United States, it’s still around 30%.” […]  . . . if we do see a significant surge, particularly one that might result in increased hospitalizations, we have to be prepared to pivot and perhaps reinstitute some of those restrictions.”

Margolis: Something Very Suspicious Is Happening With China’s Latest COVID Reporting
China reported two COVID-19 deaths on Saturday—the first COVID-related deaths they’ve reported in over a year. “China, which reported 3,844 new COVID-19 cases Saturday, reinstated safety measures last week to curb the spread of the virus,” reports The Hill. “The country urged residents not to leave Beijing and shut down schools in Shanghai. Most of the new cases have been located in [the province of] Jilin.” […]  So why start reporting new deaths now? In addition to these two new COVID deaths they’ve reported, China also has reported a surge in cases—the first such surge since the start of the pandemic—which they say is connected to the BA.2 subvariant of the omicron strain. […]  What exactly is going on here? [NOTE: Comments left:  The pump is being primed for a huge outbreak right before the mid-terms, complete with lockdowns and more clot shots, “necessitating” more mail-in voting and drop boxes. A second comment One possibility – the area the outbreak is occurring is related to the “Chinese Silicone Valley”. This could be an economic warning shot at the US foreign policy or another shot at our economy. Close down their tech manufacturing would be a scary ordeal for the hogs at the trough in DC. ]

Pavlich: Biden Heads to Poland as Crisis Grows
“This week, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will travel to Poland following his meetings in Brussels, Belgium with our NATO Allies, G7 Leaders, and European Union Leaders to discuss international efforts to support Ukraine and impose severe and unprecedented costs on Russia for its invasion. On Friday, March 25, President Biden will travel to Warsaw, Poland, where he will hold a bilateral meeting with President Andrzej Duda. The President will discuss how the United States, alongside our Allies and partners, is responding to the humanitarian and human rights crisis that Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked war on Ukraine has created,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced late Sunday night.  While Ukraine is not a member of NATO, last week a number of leaders from NATO countries traveled to Kyiv for a solidarity meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Sundance: Col Douglas Macgregor Discusses Outlook for Ceasefire in Ukraine
The resolution issue is a very critical point, because the U.S. State Dept (CIA) and the DC political machine are standing firm in their collective desire for a long-term insurgency campaign against Russia using Ukraine as a proxy war.  Macgregor notes the geopolitical and global economic outcomes from a protracted interventionist NATO/western approach at using Ukraine for conflict against Russia.

Averre: Russia’s terrifying vacuum bombs blast Mariupol: Video shows TOS-1a launcher in action for first time as it sets the ground on fire while unleashing a salvo of thermobaric missiles that vaporize bodies
Footage has emerged of Russian forces firing thermobaric missiles at the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, confirming the illegal use of devastating weapons against a civilian population.The clips, published by Russia Today and the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR), show a TOS-1a ‘Heavy Flamethrower system’ launching a salvo of rockets towards the southern port city which has already endured more than a fortnight of heavy bombardment, resulting in hundreds of casualties. Dozens of the thermobaric weapons were unleashed, trailing smoke as they soared through the air towards their helpless civilian targets, while the earth around the launcher was set ablaze.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Allen: CHINA IS USING OIL TO DE-DOLLARIZE THE WORLD ECONOMY
It’s no secret that the United States of America became a superpower as a result of World War 2. Even before the war officially concluded, the United States secured its long-term economic viability with the Bretton Woods Agreement.  The upshot of that 1944 meeting of delegates from 44 countries in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire was the establishment of both the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. But more importantly, the agreement replaced the gold standard with the U.S. dollar as the global currency. In short, America became the dominant power in the world economy. It was a shrewd shift that gave the dollar more value relative to other currencies. But it was also secure and practical: the United States held three quarters of the world’s supply of gold, which made the U.S. the only country with enough gold to back its currency — the dollar — as a replacement for the gold standard.
But this post-war agreement was abandoned in 1971 when President Nixon announced he would unshackle the U.S. from its promise that a dollar was worth 1/35th of an ounce of gold. Since then, the dollar’s value has gone from objective to subjective; from $35 an ounce of gold to whatever people think it’s worth. The long-lasting impacts of ending the gold standard have arguably been devastating. The abandonment of the gold standard has certainly led to great instability and uncertainty with regard to both the diagnosis and treatment of economic catastrophes like inflation.

Devine: White House ignores its Hunter problem
It is hardly vindication of The Post’s flawless reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop that 17 months late, the New York Times has admitted the laptop is real. It is an indictment of the Times and a betrayal of their readers who were kept in the dark about the true nature of Joe Biden before the 2020 election. But now that we are all on the same page, there are some serious questions the administration needs to answer, which go to America’s national security at a time of international peril. Question 1  President Biden’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, refused to answer The Post’s White House reporter, Steven Nelson, when he had the rare opportunity to ask her two of those questions last week. Psaki’s excuse was that Hunter Biden “doesn’t work in the government.” But she wasn’t being asked about Hunter. She was being asked about her boss, the president.

HISTORY 101

Paracelsus: You can thank the Civil War for Pfizer
In 1861 the United States descended into civil war. History is written by the victors, and thus many key facts have been memory-holed in favor of a slavery-centered narrative. Sadly lost in today’s ‘civil war history’ is the story of our nation’s first opioid epidemic, Pfizer’s rise as a prominent pharmaceutical company, and the federal government’s hand in both those events. This story starts before the war, when two German immigrants (Charles Pfizer and Charles Erhart) started a chemical company in Brooklyn in 1849. The company had moderate success with its first product, an anti-parasitic drug that was compounded into a candy-like toffee. However, Pfizer was just one of dozens of other companies in the US manufacturing chemicals and pharmaceuticals at the time. Pfizer would use the Civil War to bring itself to prominence and profit, much as ‘defense’ companies do today. Wars have always produced injuries and disease, however a key invention just prior to the Civil War led to exceptionally gruesome wounds. The Minié ball, named after the French army officer who invented it, was a new bullet that expanded when fired while still maintaining relative accuracy. Previous bullets were more likely to travel through bodies, but the Minié ball would lodge inside tissue, creating sucking chest wounds and other fatal injuries. Not only were battlefield injuries horrific, but there were also deadly diseases like measles, dysentery, and malaria, the latter being endemic in the South where the war was mostly fought. Thus, there was a great need for pain killers, antiseptics, anesthetics, and anti-diarrheal medications by both the Union and Confederate armies.

The police department’s substation, located inside the Mather House residential hall, closed in February following years of outcry from both woke students and faculty. They argued the outpost, which opened in 2005 and was one of four on campus, was more intimidating than helpful, according to the Harvard Crimson, and even took aim at officers for eating in the students’ dining room.

Lewis: Putin ‘deports Ukrainians to camps’: Russia is accused of genocide by putting refugees in ‘filtration’ centres and forcibly taking them to remote Siberian towns after confiscating their phones and documents
Vladimir Putin has been accused of deporting Ukrainians to ‘filtration’ centres before forcibly taking them to remote Siberian towns after confiscating their phones and documents.  ‘Several thousand’ people have so-far been taken, Mariupol city council claimed, before being processed through ‘filtration camps’ and sent to ‘remote cities’ in Russia where they will be obliged to stay for years and work for free.  EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said before he chaired a meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers in Brussels that ‘what’s happening in Mariupol is a massive war crime. Destroying everything, bombarding and killing everybody in an indiscriminate manner. This is something awful’. Russian news agencies have reported that buses carrying hundreds of refugees from the besieged southeastern port city Mariupol had arrived in Russia in recent days. Moscow officials also said a trainload of over 280 Ukrainians were being ‘rescued’ from Mariupol, showing footage of them thanking Russian forces.
