Ben Domenech Federalist publisher: “Let 2022 be the year where we say enough, no more. When we demand more of our nation, our neighbors and ourselves. Things cannot continue as they are. This is not the new normal, we refuse to let it be.”
Naomi Wolf feminist author and journalist in a recent Bannon War Room interview: “The communists when they took power in Russia drove the capitalist economy intentionally into the ground. … This is not a conspiracy. This is being informed by history. We can’t understand what is happening right now unless we understand that the country is being subverted, being targeted. … What would I do if I was trying to emasculate the United States as a superpower. You would print money till there’s a collapse… It’s common knowledge in psychological coercion of prisoners that if you disorient them and change rules all the time and isolate them and bombard them with threats, they’ll give up…. We are being targeted by a kind of psychological warfare.”
Jerry Bledsoe, R.N. at Fayetteville VA Medical Center refuses to comply with CDC/VA COVID guidelines and protocols that he says is harming not helping COVID patients: Hermann Goring, a Nazi war criminal said it best, “You can do this in a Nazi regime, socialist, communist, monarchy or democracy; the only thing a government needs to turn the population into slaves is fear. If you can find something to scare them, you can make them do anything you want.” This is a sentiment that I believe to be true. I believe this is where we are today, at the precipice of a tragedy, and I cannot be a part of it.
Jesse Kelly radio talk show host tweeted: REMINDER: COVID has been a tremendous long-term success for the communists. On top of everything else, they managed to purge much of the military and big city police forces of anything resembling a political enemy. They getting what they’ve always wanted: A monopoly on force.
Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: A nation needs vertical and horizontal connections, people to other people, and to something above them, a sense of awe and destiny, and without them it withers and dies. The pandemic reaffirmed to many elites their conviction that there are no meaningful connections, that other people are threats and irritants, and that man is just an intelligent ape existing on the random sufferance of a cruel universe that can blot all of us out in a single instant.
Josiah Lippincott contributor to American Thinker: Whether the COVID response was a product of a global conspiracy or not is irrelevant. The ruling class of the world is already on the same spiritual sheet of music. They all want the same thing—the reduction of the world into one homogenous, undifferentiated mass that they can shake down for the foreseeable future. The destruction of all higher life, all aspiration, all real science, and all real human community is what these people mean by “democracy” and “human rights.”
Selwyn Duke contributor to American Thinker: While running for the U.S. Senate from Illinois in 2004, Obama was interviewed by Chicago Sun-Times religion reporter Cathleen Falsani, and what he revealed was striking, indeed. Obama spouted boilerplate leftist philoso-babble for much of the interview. One interesting point, however, was when Falsani asked him, “What is sin?” Obama’s answer? “Being out of alignment with my values,” he said.

Citizen Free Press: Monster thread on the Coup against Trump
Ben Wittes and his cronies asked a federal court to unseal “The Watergate Roadmap” on 14 Sep 2018, to much fanfare. so certain they could use the analysis in “The Watergate Roadmap” to force the removal of President Trump. […] And why did they make the request for the release of “The Watergate Roadmap” on 14 Sep 2018? they thought they had him. it was the same day Manafort plead guilty to charges brought by Mueller and entered a cooperation agreement with the Special Counsel. So Mueller is winding up, Manafort is cooperating, Sessions is neutered, the evidence is in, and they have “The Watergate Roadmap”, all by end of November 2018.

Kelly: Surveillance Video Shows D.C. Police Beating Women on January 6
Recently-released surveillance video from inside the lower west terrace tunnel at the Capitol building from last January 6 confirms what American Greatness has reported for months: law enforcement officers from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and U.S. Capitol Police led a brutal assault against Trump supporters trapped inside that tunnel during the Capitol protest. The three-hour clip offers one angle of what happened between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. in the tunnel, the site of the most violent clashes between police and protesters. It also is the location where Rosanne Boyland, a Trump supporter from Georgia, died. One clip shows the attack on Victoria White, a Minnesota mother of four who was viciously beaten by at least two D.C. Metro officers including a supervisor: . . .[…] Another unidentified person—it’s hard to determine from the grainy footage whether it is a man or woman—trapped in the lower-left corner of the tunnel is beaten by other officers at the mouth of the tunnel. When someone outside of the tunnel attempts to drag the person out, an officer pulls the person back into the corner of the tunnel and traps him/her with a riot shield to endure more beatings.

Kelly: Is the Whitmer ‘Kidnapping’ Case About to be Tossed?
The U.S. Department of Justice received an unwelcome Christmas gift from defense attorneys representing five men charged with conspiring to “kidnap” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020: a motion to dismiss the case. The Christmas Day filing is the latest blow to the government’s scandal-ridden prosecution; defense counsel is building a convincing argument that the FBI used undercover agents and informants to entrap their clients in a wide-ranging scheme that resulted in bad press for Donald Trump as early voting was underway in the key swing state last year. What began as random social media chatter to oppose lockdown policies quickly morphed into a dangerous plan to abduct Whitmer as soon as the FBI took over. A Michigan judge delayed the trial, now set for March 8, so defense attorneys could investigate the misconduct of FBI special agents handling at least a dozen government informants involved in the caper. […] Defense attorneys cited several examples of exchanges where defendants pushed back on suggestions to kidnap Whitmer; at one point, “Big Dan” raised the idea of putting a “round of bullets” into a window at Whitmer’s cottage, the location of the would-be abduction, and suggested they “mail the casings to the news.” The agents and informants, according to defense attorneys, “continued to push to shape a kidnapping plan, even trying to elevate it to murder.”

COVID THERAPUETC RESEARCH
Copp: US Army Creates Single Vaccine Against All COVID & SARS Variants, Researchers Say
Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that is effective against COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide.
The achievement is the result of almost two years of work on the virus. The Army lab received its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020. Very early on, Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch decided to focus on making a vaccine that would work against not just the existing strain but all of its potential variants as well. Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 . . .

SciTechDaily: Two Common Over-the-Counter Compounds Reduce COVID-19 Virus Replication by 99% in Early Testing
A pair of over-the-counter compounds has been found in preliminary tests to inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19, University of Florida Health researchers have found. The combination includes diphenhydramine, an antihistamine used for allergy symptoms. When paired with lactoferrin, a protein found in cow and human milk, the compounds were found to hinder the SARS-CoV-2 virus during tests in monkey cells and human lung cells. The findings by David A. Ostrov, Ph.D., an immunologist and associate professor in the UF College of Medicine’s department of pathology, immunology and laboratory medicine and his colleagues, are published in the journal Pathogens.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL
Winters: Oracle Supercomputer: COVID-19 ‘Highly Adapted’ for Human (Not Bat or Pangolin) Infection.
Simulations conducted by Oracle supercomputing revealed COVID-19 to be “highly adapted” for human infection, discrediting the claim of the virus counting natural origins through a spillover event from wildlife to humans.As revealed in Sharri Markson’s What Really Happened In Wuhan, Flinders University Professor and Research Director at Vaxine Dr. Nikolai Petrovsky used an Oracle supercomputer’s “in silico modeling” approach to identify COVID-19’s original host. Proponents of the “natural origins” theory – including many Chinese Communist Party-compromised scientists – have attached significance to the virus’s host being a bat, arguing the animal transferred COVID-19 to a person at a wet market. Petrovsky’s findings, which appear to identify humans as the original host of COVID-19, undercut the theory that the virus was transferred from animal to human but rather originated in humans independent of an animal.

Smythe: Govt-Linked ‘Mitre Corp’ Rolls Out ‘Vaccine Credential Initiative’ With CCP Affiliated Partners.
A plethora of major national and international companies are teaming up to normalize digital health passports, hinting at a requirement for future travel. At least one coalition is already placing America’s personal health and medical data at risk of use by the Chinese Communist Party, The National Pulse can reveal. The Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI) charter describes itself as a “coalition of public and private organizations committed to empowering individuals with access to verifiable clinical information.” In reality, the initiative is led by the Mitre Corporation out of Mclean, Virginia, just minutes drive away from the headquarters of America’s Central Intelligence Agency. Mitre predominantly works for and with government agencies such as the U.S. military, NATO, Federal Aviation Authority, and the Centers for Disease Control. Part of Mitre’s development of VCI is focused on “trustworthy and verifiable” vaccination records in both digital and paper formats, seeking to make all personal medical and health data compatible with digital wallets or a QR code.

Mitropoulos: What the CDC’s latest COVID-19 quarantine recommendations mean for you
Guidance for asymptomatic people differs depending on vaccination status. Amidst growing pressure as COVID-19 cases surge across the country, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has now announced that it will shorten the recommended isolation time for asymptomatic people who test positive for COVID-19, and update guidance for people who have been exposed to the virus. […] The change in guidance is based on data which shows that “the majority of COVID-19 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after,” according to the CDC. Guidance for asymptomatic individuals differs greatly depending on one’s vaccination status. Here’s what you need to know: . . .

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATE
Peterson: Opposing Views: Are Vaccines Safe? | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & Amesh Adalja – MP Podcast #130
The PREP Act provides immunity from liability for the COVID-19 vaccinators. The purpose of the law is to protect Big Pharma. Robert F. Kennedy recently revealed why Big Pharma and Dr. Fauci are going after the children and babies. Because the vaccines that are recommended for children get liability protection.
So as long as you take an emergency use vaccine, you can’t sue them. Once they get approved, now you can sue them, unless they can get it recommended for children. Because all vaccines that are recommended, officially recommended for children get liability protection, even if an adult gets that vaccine. That’s why they are going after the kids. They know this is going to kill and injure a huge number of children, but they need to do it for the liability protection.”

Kilpatrick: Ventura County Nurses Blow the Whistle on Crisis in Local Health Care
“All the clotting, bleeding, brain bleeds, heart attacks in younger 50-year olds. No doctor will admit this is from the vaccine. They won’t make the VAERS report.” Ventura County nurses from different sectors and specialties are coming forward to blow the whistle on what they deem serious lapses in local health care practices, mostly related to COVID-related protocols, “vaccine” mandates and politically and financially motivated bullying of medical staff, which these health care workers say is seriously compromising the general quality of local care. […] More than half the nurses the Guardian spoke with are heading for the exits and are looking to retire or move to another state to continue their careers. Some express optimism, while all express great concern for their profession. “I am so upset by all of this,” says Daniel. “I had maybe this starry-eyed view of what medicine was. I’ve lost all faith in the medical field. I think, ‘Who’s been bought and paid for now?’ It seems like money is the thing pushing these drugs more than evidence. These doctors and even nurses — we’re supposed to be critical thinkers. The pharmaceutical companies aren’t supposed to make all the rules. We’re supposed to be advocates for our patients. But they all want to keep their jobs and not ruffle any feathers. Nobody wants to be audited or have the spying eye of the government on them as individuals or institutions.”

Sundance: Fauci Admits Vaccine Requirement for Airline Travel Only Beneficial to Get More People Vaccinated, No Scientific Benefit
Anthony Fauci appears today on ABC This Week to push the vaccine narrative. When asked about a vaccine passport requirement for airline travel, Facui admits openly the only reason for a vaccine mandate is to force people to get the vaccine. There is no other benefit for the mandate other than to force people to get the vaccine. […] Once again, it seems the vaccine requirements overall are just a tool to create a system for the Vaccine Passport. The passport is then a simple tracking mechanism to identify the movements of all the people being forced to show it. The Vaccine Passport is essentially the gateway to a digital id system. Even with everything that has happened in this Overton window of the past two years, it is still stunning to me how many people now accept the reality of their papers being demanded to move around and live life.

Faddis: Why Natural Immunity Can’t Be Recognized
If you took any basic biology class in high school, you understand natural immunity. Once you get a disease and develop resistance to it you are unlikely to get it again. Maybe you had mumps. You didn’t have it twice. The same thing applies to COVID-19. Yet, since the beginning of the pandemic, the high priests of “science” like Dr. Fauci have seemed strangely dismissive of this fact. Just as they have prevented any use of therapeutics to treat the disease, they have pushed the line that only “immunity” acquired via injection is recognizable. This seems like a pretty big deal because by this point estimates by CDC are that roughly 150 million Americans have already had COVID. In fact, it is an even bigger deal than it may appear at first glance because natural immunity acquired from having COVID is actually greatly superior to that afforded by the vaccines. As evidenced by the explosion in new COVID cases in highly vaccinated nations and U.S. states, vaccine immunity is increasingly proving to be illusory at best. Professor Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins had this to say on the topic in a recent article he wrote in the Washington Post. “More than 15 studies have demonstrated the power of immunity acquired by previously having the virus. A 700,000-person study . . . […] The reasons for the superiority of natural immunity are summarized well in this portion of an article by Dr. Mercola. “The reason natural immunity is superior to vaccine-induced immunity is because viruses contain . .

Redshaw: CDC Monitoring 8 Cases of Heart Inflammation in 5- to 11-Year-Olds Who Got Pfizer Vaccine
On the same day the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was aware of eight cases of heart inflammation in 5- to 11-year-olds vaccinated with Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, Pfizer and BioNTech announced they would seek full approval for their Comirnaty COVID vaccine for children 12 through 15. […] The CDC said cases were mild. But the agency did not confirm whether there was a link between myocarditis cases and the vaccine. It also did not disclose the rate of myocarditis among unvaccinated children in this age group. The agency previously said reporting rates of myocarditis for boys 16 to 17 years old could be more than 69 cases per million following a second dose, and around 40 cases per million in boys 12 to 15 years old following a second dose. Despite the potential for the vaccine to cause heart inflammation, the CDC continues to encourage all parents to get their children 5 years and older vaccinated against COVID, saying the long-term effects of the virus outweigh the side effects of the vaccine.

Japan’s ministry of health is taking a sensible, ethical approach to Covid vaccines. They recently labeled the vaccines with a warning about myocarditis and other risks. They also reaffirmed their commitment to adverse event reporting to document potential side-effects. Japan’s ministry of health states: “Although we encourage all citizens to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, it is not compulsory or mandatory. Vaccination will be given only with the consent of the person to be vaccinated after the information provided.” Furthermore, they state: “Please get vaccinated of your own decision, understanding both the effectiveness in preventing infectious diseases and the risk of side effects. No vaccination will be given without consent.” Finally, they clearly state:

Saavedra: Officials Warn China Is Creating ‘Brain-Control Weaponry’, Biden Administration Responds
“New intelligence shows China is using technologies like gene editing, and brain machine interfaces to enhance military capabilities and control its own people, machines that could allow a Chinese commando to discharge a weapon with just a thought, not a trigger finger,” Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin said. “This month the Biden administration targeted the emerging threat by levying sanctions on 37 Chinese biotechnology companies that have ties to this research that experts say include so called ‘mind control weapons.’” Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe warned that the U.S. is not going to use the same questionable practices that China is. “We’re not going to place our own soldiers, sailors, and airmen at risk, which is what the intelligence tells us the Chinese are willing to do,” he said. “They want to advance at any costs, including those that are harmful to their own population.”

Newman: China develops AI ‘prosecutor’ that can identify ‘dissent’ and press charges for common crimes ‘with 97% accuracy’
China has developed an artificial intelligence prosecutor that can charge people with crimes with more than 97 per cent accuracy, researchers claim. The dystopian machine can identify ‘dissent’ against the state and suggest sentences for supposed criminals, removing people from the prosecution process.
There are already fears the system could be weaponised by the Chinese Communist Party with human prosecutors concerned about who would take responsibility for the AI’s decisions. The tool can file a charge based on a verbal description of the case and was built and tested by the Shanghai Pudong People’s Procuratorate, the biggest and busiest district prosecution office in China.

Van Laar: Harvard Nanotech Researcher Who Brought Home ‘Bags of Cash’ From China Convicted of Six Felonies
As one of the world’s leading nanotechnology researchers, Harvard professor Charles M. Lieber was seen by many of his colleagues as a future Nobel Prize winner. Lieber desperately wanted that too, and he was willing to partner with the Chinese Communist Party to get it. That ended poorly for him last week when a federal jury in Boston convicted him of two counts of filing false tax returns, two counts of making false statements, and two counts of failing to file reports for a foreign bank account in China after Lieber hid hundreds of thousands of dollars he received in cash from the Chinese government and lied to two different federal investigators about his ties to the CCP’s Thousand Talents Program (TTP). Lieber, who held professorships in Harvard’s chemistry and engineering departments, also hid the existence of a Chinese bank account in his name, which contained approximately $200,000.

Owens: The Poison Fruits of Identity Politics in the Military
For many years, the U.S. military has been among the most trusted of American institutions, certainly the most trusted part of the U.S. government. It has maintained that status despite its failure to achieve success in the post-9/11 wars. Americans seem to have accepted the argument that this failure has more to do with the political constraints placed on the military than on the military’s doctrine, planning, and execution. They have continued to accept the military’s self-image as a profession rather than a self-interested bureaucracy, and have supported its professional ethos understood as duty, honor, and sacrifice. But attitudes toward the military seem to be changing. According to a recent survey conducted by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, . . .

Solomon: Biden reverses course, declares COVID must be solved by states and not feds
President Joe Biden campaigned for months that a robust federal response could vanquish the COVID-19 pandemic, but he reversed course Monday by telling the nation’s governors that states are likely to be more successfully tailoring solutions for their citizens. “There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level,” Biden declared during a call with the National Governors Association. The president’s response was a marked shift for America’s 46th president, who campaigned last year that federal government under his direction could conquer the virus and who boasted just days ago that “federal emergency medical teams are ready to respond to surges nationwide.”

Ibbetson: ‘He’s trying to avoid blame for his incompetence’: GOP slams Biden after he said ‘there is no federal solution’ to combating COVID despite previously promising to ‘shut down the virus’ as cases hit highest level since January despite mask and vax mandates
The president’s comments came as the CDC cut in half isolation restrictions for Americans who catch COVID from 10 to five days, and similarly shortened the time that close contacts need to quarantine. The restrictions come as several industries face staff shortages caused by the federal mandates and the administration’s failure to provide adequate testing. Biden’s supporters quickly rushed to his defense, alleging Republicans took his remarks out of context. […] Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, also accused the president of implementing illegal mandates and blamed his ‘incompetence’ for the surging virus. ‘When Joe Biden says “there is no federal solution,” he’s trying to avoid blame for his incompetence,’ Cotton tweeted. ‘If he really believes this, he should rescind his unconstitutional federal mandates.’ […] ‘There’s no federal solution, but the fed government can help by securing the border, approving safe treatments & tests, and appointing competent leaders at the FDA & CDC.’
