NOTABLE QUOTES

C.S. Lewis: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Shawn Fleetwood contributor to The Federalist: In a newly signed executive order designed to use federal agencies to forcibly guarantee equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity for Americans, President Joe Biden tacitly admitted his administration is collaborating with a prominent leftist group to advance neo-Marxism throughout the U.S. government.

Scott Johnson contributor to Powerlineblog.com: With his trip to Kyiv and related festivities one has to wonder if President Biden isn’t shoving his deconstruction of the United States in our face. The deconstruction proceeds in word and deed every day. It is hard to keep up.

Drew Allen contributor to American Greatness: The Biden Administration is using the Russia-Ukraine War to accelerate and fund America’s transition away from fossil fuels to unreliable green energy, which will decimate American’s economy. They’ve admitted it. Like COVID, this diabolical administration is using the Russia-Ukraine war to kill multiple birds with one stone, but one of those birds is undeniably the American economy and affordable energy. Don’t take it from me. The administration has been bragging about it. Investing in solar panels and electric vehicles in America is going to defeat the Russians, according to the Department of Energy.

Patricia McCarthy contributor to American Thinker: Two generations of caring more about kids’ feelings than what they learn has had disastrous results across the board. No more honors classes, that wouldn’t be equitable. Mediocrity is the left’s ultimate goal. That goal, and the Biden administration’s lust for world war may well be the end of America. We should all be very afraid and we must all fight back against these despicable anti-American globalists who have set us on this course toward catastrophe.

Drew Allen contributor to American Thinker: The EPA’s very best is a history of lies — lies which have gotten Americans killed. And their knowledge isn’t knowledge at all; it’s ignorance. Why should anyone trust the EPA?

Deane Waldman, M.D. contributor to American Thinker: As the U.S. spends more money on the healthcare system and less on providers, wait times for care go from unconscionable to interminable, resulting in death-by-queueing.

Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge: According to Axios, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given Fox News (Paul Ryan) and Tucker Carlson access to the 41,000 hours of CCTV footage. Presumably Speaker McCarthy figures this approach will support his previous promise to release and “make public” the full unedited House footage.  I’m not sure I would qualify this as fulfilling the pledge.  Why is an intermediary needed?  Why not just release the footage and let people review it raw and unfiltered?

John Bruchalski, M.D. contributor to The Federalist: If intentional feticide is not necessary to save the life of the mother, why do so many pro-abortion medical professionals continue to say it is?

Rodgers: Trump Delivers Fiery Presidents Day Speech In West Palm Beach, Group Of Supporters Change Name To ‘Club 47 USA’

Former President Donald Trump delivered a fiery Presidents Day speech to a group of his supporters just minutes away from Mar-a-Lago. The event was hosted by Club 45 USA, which is a corporation started by his supporters for Trump’s reelection campaign.

Ahead of the speech, the group announced they would be changing the name of the club to “Club 47 USA.” The group of supporters started lining up hours before his speech. Lines wrapped around the corners surrounding the Hilton Hotel near the airport and the club eventually had to close the doors for the hundreds of other supporters who were in line to attend Trump’s speech. […]  Trump ended his speech by taking multiple questions from his supporters, the first one was in reference to his upcoming trip to Palestine, Ohio, where a derailment of a train led to a spill of toxic chemicals.

AGENDA47: PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO END CRIME AND RESTORE LAW AND ORDER 2/20/23

President Donald J. Trump unveiled his new plan to stop out-of-control crime and keep all Americans safe. In his first term, President Trump reduced violent crime and stood strongly with America’s law enforcement. On Joe Biden’s watch, violent crime has skyrocketed and communities have become less safe as he defunded, defamed, and dismantled police forces.

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET) & TRANSHUMANISM (HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

(The path to a one world global government) Freeman: Biden Admin Negotiates Deal to Give WHO Authority Over US Pandemic Policies

The Biden administration is readying to sign a “legally binding” agreement with the World Health Organization that would permit it the authority to dictate U.S. policies during a pandemic, The Epoch Times has reported. The “zero draft” of a pandemic treaty was published earlier this month and the final terms are scheduled to be worked out next week so that all members can then sign. This came on the heels of a meeting in September, where a joint announcement put out by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared that a platform has been developed “to maximize the longstanding U.S. government-WHO partnership, and to protect and promote the health of all people around the globe, including the American people.” [NOTE: Is a  declaration of a climate emergency in our immediate future?]

Scott: Scientists Are Using AI to Talk To Animals and Plants

Scientific American has reported scientists are using “advanced sensors and artificial intelligence technology to observe and decode how a broad range of species, including plants, already share information with their own communication methods.” The magazine’s report was backed by data from Karen Bakker, the author of How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants. […]  Bakker believes interspecies communication is right around the corner if we “combine digital listening—which is opening up vast new worlds of nonhuman sound and decoding that sound with artificial intelligence—with deep listening.” [NOTE: Comment by ComradeAdam:  They want to put humans on the same level with animals. It makes it easier to justify the mass murder of humans (for the “greater good” of the planet) and they want to be the spokesman for the animals which gives them power and control.]

CLIMATE EMEGENCY: ACCUMULATE POWER & CONROL

Killough: No Cars, No Energy, No Mating: Has The Environmental Movement Turned Anti-Human?

A new report from the University of California-Davis takes an honest look at the widespread environmental impacts that will come with a transition to electric vehicles. The report’s authors form a network called the Climate and Community Project (CCP), which says it “works to connect the demands of the climate justice movement to the policy development process.” To address these issues, the report proposes a complete social reengineering of society to greatly reduce the need for cars. The authors’ recommendations follow a line of thinking that some argue is becoming prevalent in environmental and climate change activism that views humans as a problem that needs to be solved. […]  He said that the idea of humans living in harmony with nature is a “fairy tale” that’s told to push political agendas. He points to wind energy in Wyoming and the problem of landfills filling up with wind turbine blades, impacts to eagles and a host of other issues that come out of what’s supposed to be a less impactful form of energy. “You’re always going to have an impact,” he said. “It’s good to think about those impacts and to mitigate those impacts. “But this fairy tale that somehow we’re going to have no impact and be in harmony with nature? It’s just crazy.”

Killough: Number Of Eagles Killed By Wind Farms In Wyoming Severely Underestimated, Biologist Says

Mike Lockhart, a wildlife biologist specializing in eagles who worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for more than 30 years, told Cowboy State Daily the impacts to eagle populations from Wyoming’s wind farms is being underreported and downplayed. […]  Altogether, when complete, these projects will add about 1,100 more turbines across the Wyoming landscape. The towers range in height from 400 to 600 feet, and they will be in addition to those currently operating. Lockhart said Wyoming is a major migration route, not just for golden eagles, but for migratory birds all over North America. The spine of the Rocky Mountains is a corridor from Alaska and Canada, all the way down into Mexico and beyond. […]  In his comments, Kilty calculated the impact to eagle populations of all the projects in the area of the Two Rivers Wind Project. The total bald eagles legally killed annually by wind farms would be 28.2% of the population in the area. “What sort of population of any type could withstand such mortality?” Kilty asked the BLM.

REPUBLICAN U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY

Allen: Exclusive: McCarthy gives Tucker Carlson access to trove of Jan. 6 riot tape

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given Fox News’ Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 riot, McCarthy sources tell me. Carlson TV producers were on Capitol Hill last week to begin digging through the trove, which includes multiple camera angles from all over Capitol grounds. Excerpts will begin airing in the coming weeks. Why it matters: Carlson has repeatedly questioned official accounts of 1/6, downplaying the insurrection as “vandalism.”

Chaitin: January 6 Panel Chairman Issues Warning Over Tucker Carlson Getting Tapes

The chairman of the n0w-defunct January 6 Committee warned of the “potential security risks” of U.S. Capitol security footage being released to the media. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) issued a statement hours after Axios broke the news that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave Fox News host Tucker Carlson access to 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 —  . . .[…]  “Access was limited to members and a small handful of investigators and senior staff, and the public use of any footage was coordinated in advance with Capitol Police. It’s hard to overstate the potential security risks if this material were to be used irresponsibly,” he added.

CORRUPT US INTELLIGENCE/ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS

Harper: IRS leaked thousands of Americans’ tax filings; Congress demands to know if it was political

The leak may have had political motives, since it was used to prove, as ProPublica put it, that “the very richest pay lower rates than the merely rich.”  […] The new head of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee blasted the Biden administration for giving few answers after thousands of taxpayer files were leaked to an outside group. House Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., sent a letter to Russel George, the Treasury Department’s Inspector General for Tax Administration, raising concerns about the leak of “confidential tax information” and the lack of accountability over that leak. The issue began when the news group ProPublica reported in June 2021 that it had been given private tax returns for thousands of Americans spanning over 15 years.

TWITTER CRIMINAL FILES

Sundance: Twitter Files – Matt Taibbi Sniffing Around the Senate Intel Committee Connection to Manipulation of Social Media

Matt Taibbi is a smart guy, he’ll get there.  I’m not sure why my gut says to trust him, but it does – and I do. Recently he’s been getting hit by the leftists who are asking why Taibbi is not looking at the Trump administration pressure on social media to control and manipulate public information [Twitter Here]. Taibbi has been hitting back against his detractors by saying, there’s no evidence of Trump doing that; yet there is massive evidence of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) contacting Twitter to do exactly that. […]  In my opinion, Taibbi is on the right trail in following the SSCI and HPSCI manipulation of the social media platforms, specifically Twitter.  In addition to the SSCI creating the structure that supports the intelligence weaponization by DHS and FBI, Senate Intel Chair Richard Burr and then Senate Intel Vice-Chair Mark Warner are at the epicenter of it.

Piper: Governments can regulate school board comments but not social media, courts rule

Tech companies and commenters at public hearings got diametrically opposed rulings last week in First Amendment challenges to the discretion of governments to police, restrain and chill speech. U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter issued a preliminary injunction against New York’s “hateful conduct” law, passed in the aftermath of the livestreamed Buffalo mass shooting to punish broadly defined “social media network[s]” for letting such content spread. It compels networks to “speak about the contours of hate speech” and chills their users’ protected speech “without articulating a compelling governmental interest or ensuring that the law is narrowly tailored to that goal,” Carter wrote.

Fleetwood: Biden’s New ‘Equity’ Executive Order Is Systemic Racism In Disguise

In a newly signed executive order designed to use federal agencies to forcibly guarantee equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity for Americans, President Joe Biden tacitly admitted his administration is collaborating with a prominent leftist group to advance neo-Marxism throughout the U.S. government. Signed on Thursday, the order, titled “Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government,” seeks to expand the administration’s so-called “equity-advancing requirements for agencies.” Equity is a term regularly employed by leftists to cover up their true goal of dismissing merit and real equality in favor of discrimination on the basis of skin color.

McCarthy: The collapse of civilization on the altar of equity and diversity

The Biden administration has gone stark raving mad. While they surely know better, they are moving ahead with the false notion that “diversity is our strength,” that forced “equity” will make the country a better place. It began under the Obama administration, the purposeful ginning up of the most vile racism since slavery; but this time Black against White. Before Obama took office, there was actually near racial harmony in America. The American left has become so radical now, “diversity hires” are now a thing. We are following in the footsteps of South Africa and mandating racial quotas. What has that meant for South Africa? Their economy is in near collapse. Their electric grid is failing because no one knows how to fix it. The country is wracked by violence. Mandated equity, the primacy of race over merit, means civilizational failure.

Johnson: IN OUR FACE

With his trip to Kyiv and related festivities one has to wonder if President Biden isn’t shoving his deconstruction of the United States in our face. The deconstruction proceeds in word and deed every day. It is hard to keep up. It is already a cliché to observe that neither he nor the condescending clown he placed in charge of the Department of Transportation has bothered to show up in East Palestine, Ohio. It’s probably best for all concerned that Secretary Buttigieg has sheltered in place, but the Biden trip to Kyiv really rubs it in. The White House has posted Biden’s joint statement with President Zelensky in Kyiv yesterday here. Biden announced another $500 million in aid to Ukraine. With a little help from his speechwriters, Biden spun the windmills of his mind in the wayback cortex: . . .

Renowned 9/11 Attorney Warns Ohio Residents to “Stay Away, Don’t Believe the EPA” After Toxic Train Derailment

Comparing the EPA’s precautionary tactics after the 2001 terror attacks to their recent behavior, Barasch — a longtime legal advocate — added that “21 years ago, the government at least had a reason: they wanted to reopen Wall Street.” Accusing officials of telling people the air is safe when they “don’t really know one way or another,” he suggested they “clear out the area — a 20 mile radius — for two to four weeks and consider it a toxic area until independent scientists can verify that it’s really safe. Otherwise we’re going to see in another twenty years exactly what I’m seeing now — with people developing illnesses and dying from post-9/11 toxic air — only on a lower scale.” The prominent attorney also emphasized he was unable to “believe the EPA,” accusing them of treating the public “like children.”

Bruchalski: The Pro-Abortion ‘Life Of The Mother’ Argument Is A False Flag Operation

As many states are fighting to codify abortion law, one of the greatest lies spread by the pro-abortion left in America today is that we need to intentionally end the life of an unborn baby in order to save the mother’s life in many of these cases. Women face many possible illnesses during pregnancy, including premature rupture of membranes, severely high blood pressure, diabetes, hemorrhaging, cancers, and heart disease. As an obstetrician-gynecologist who used to provide abortions early in my training, I know that intentional feticide is never necessary even in the worst-case scenarios.

Rudy: CDC adds COVID-19 vaccines to official immunization schedule for kids as young as 6 months

CDC can’t mandate vaccines — but schools use its recommendations for guidance on requirements.  The schedule, which is posted on the CDC’s website, recommends that children between six months of age and 18 years old should receive two doses of the primary series between four and eight weeks apart — followed by a booster dose at least eight weeks later. Children who are “moderately or severely immunocompromised” should include a third dose in the primary series, says the CDC. […]  The doctor pointed out that while COVID symptoms are generally mild in kids, repeated infection can lead to a higher chance of brain fog, “long COVID” and other complications.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ANTI POLICE  ANTI VICTIM  PRO CRIMINAL

Fitzgerald: Make the Death Penalty Great Again

President Donald J. Trump is reportedly thinking about bringing back certain methods of capital punishment like hangings as well as broadcasting executions on television as part of a second term. Predictably, the media is shrieking at the possibility. Two recent crimes underscore the need to follow President Trump’s lead and make the death penalty great again. To do that, an originalist Supreme Court must untie juries’ hands in casting down the ultimate punishment. At the same time, Red States must get rid of criminal sanctuaries. The Murder of a Memphis Mom: Cleotha Abston is charged with the brutal, wanton murder of Eliza Fletcher, a wife, mother of two young sons, and Memphis kindergarten teacher. Prior to Fletcher’s killing, Abston already had a lengthy criminal record. When he was just fourteen, a “juvenile court found it to be true that” Abston “committed a juvenile delinquent act of rape against an unnamed suspect when he was 14.” The rape likely involved sodomy because Abston’s victim was a male. While his peers marked their sixteenth birthday with getting a driver’s license, “Pookie” Abston committed more crimes. When he was sixteen, . . .

Last week, during discussion of a bill that would allow parents to request the removal of school library or classroom materials they find inappropriate, Special Education teacher Alicia Messing questioned what qualifies a parent to parent. “”I have a master’s degree because when I got certified, I was told I had to have a master’s degree to be an Arizona certified teacher. We all have advanced degrees. What do the parents have? Are we vetting the backgrounds of our parents? Are we allowing the parents to choose the curriculum and the books that our children are going to read? I think that is a mistake.” Messing’s screed shocked parents across the state, but it wasn’t the first time she dismissed the desires of parents.

OTHER NWES, COMMENTARY,  OPINION

Waldman, M.D.: Healthcare Job Growth Brings Death-by-Queueing to U.S.

A 1999 study suggested that at least 31 percent of U.S. healthcare spending was taken from patient care to pay middlemen.  With expanded regulation of healthcare since 1999, particularly the cost of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare) and the healthcare spending built-in to the Anti-Inflation Act of 2022, roughly 50 percent of our healthcare spending is wasted on non-clinical activities. For example, the ACA took $756 billion away from Medicare — from patient care — to pay for insurance regulations, policies, and oversight.The U.S. spent $4.1 trillion on healthcare in 2021. Roughly two trillion dollars, more than the entire GDP of France, produced no care.  Middlemen take what they want first from the healthcare budget, and what remains can pay for patient care.  Middlemen get the choice cuts, and patients get the leavings. […]  As the U.S. spends more money on the healthcare system and less on providers, wait times for care go from unconscionable to interminable, resulting in death-by-queueing. […]  Death-by-queueing is now happening to Americans with government-provided health insurance due to bureaucratic diversion.  Nick Horton reported 752 preventable deaths of Illinoisans covered by Medicaid.  An internal Veterans Affairs analysis concluded that “47,000 veterans may have died” waiting in line for care that was technically possible but unavailable.  Deamonte Driver was a 12-year old Maryland boy who couldn’t get dental care at all, and eventually died from complications of a dental cavity.

Taft: James O’Keefe Ousted From Project Veritas Following Pfizer Shock Video

James O’Keefe has been ousted from the undercover gonzo journalism organization he created 13 years ago, Project Veritas. O’Keefe says that the nonprofit organization’s board of directors stripped him of his CEO position and his spot on the board, leaving him with no job. After a two-week suspension in which the board reportedly told O’Keefe to temporarily unplug from the organization, the man who has been the heart and soul of the undercover journalism enterprise issued a final video for his staff. The 44-minute video explained his battle with the Project Veritas board of directors and the extraordinary 6-1/2 hour meeting — an “airing of the grievances” he called it — in which they brought up a series of employee complaints about his oversight of the organization. He called his battle with the board an “emotional circus” and wondered why after 13 years it came to a head now. […]  O’Keefe said he may “begin anew” and urged those employees who came to watch him read his Project Veritas swan song to look him up because he isn’t done yet. He says he doesn’t know what the future of Project Veritas is or if it will even keep the name.

(CFP) Dominique: CDC Updates Profile For Vinyl Chloride Days Before Ohio Train Derailment, And Removes Section On How It Affects Children

In January 2023, the toxicological profile for vinyl chloride was revised from the original guidelines published in the Federal Register nearly four decades ago – on April 17, 1987, to be exact. While toxicological profiles are updated occasionally, users are alarmed by the odd timing. The last profile for vinyl chloride was released in 2006, 17 years ago. It’s strange that they drafted it again in January 2023, just weeks prior to the catastrophe in East Palestine. […] The CDC’s website page for vinyl chloride was recently modified as well. An archived version displays a longer, more detailed FAQ page before the changes were made. The screenshot below shows a long list of FAQs with additional information. The profile initially had the following sections: “How can vinyl chloride affect children?” and “Has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health?” – but both have since been removed.

The Center Square Staff: 20 states join bishops in condemning FBI memo profiling ‘Latin Mass’ Catholics

Last week, an FBI internal memorandum dated Jan. 23, was published by Undercover DC, an investigative journalism organization. It mentioned Virginia Catholics, specifically traditional Catholics, some of whom are not in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, according to information from the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. The attorneys general seven-page letter of complaint was addressed to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. […]  Last week, New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Religious Liberty Chairman of the U.S. Catholic Council of Bishops, criticized the FBI memorandum. Dolan agreed with a statement made a day earlier by Bishop Barry Knestout of the Diocese of Richmond.

Craig: Man is CURED of HIV: ‘Düsseldorf patient’ becomes third in world to be confirmed free of Aids-causing virus after undergoing risky transplant that simultaneously beat his cancer

Another HIV patient has been cured after undergoing a risky stem cell transplant, researchers declared today. The 53-year-old — known by scientists as the Dusseldorf Patient — is just the third person to be cleared of the AIDS-causing virus by the experimental treatment that simultaneously rids the patient of cancer.

Diaz: Scientists ‘switch off’ autism symptoms using $3 epilepsy drug: discovery

Scientists are reporting a breakthrough discovery: A $3-per-pill epilepsy drug may be used to “switch off” autism symptoms in mice, according to a new peer-reviewed study published Tuesday in Molecular Psychiatry journal. Autism spectrum disorder is a complex developmental condition that impacts how an estimated 5.4 million (2.2% of) adults — and one in 44 children — in the United States perceives and socializes with others. It is often accompanied by abnormalities such as epilepsy or hyperactivity, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. A team of experts at Germany’s Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research found that the medication lamotrigine — an anti-seizure drug first approved for use in the US in 1994 — was able to curb behavioral and social problems linked to the disorder.
