NOTABLE QUOTES
President Ford stated in Rock Hill, SC, October 19, 1974: “What they don’t tell us when they propose all these benefits that they are going to give you from our Government … that a government big enough to give us everything we want is a government big enough to take from us everything we have.”
Libby Emmons Editor-in-chief for The Post Millennial and contributor to Human Events: This executive order goes well beyond Biden’s purview as president or the authority of the federal government. It is an attempt to remake humanity entirely into a race of beings that are integrally linked with technology to the point where it is impossible to differentiate man from machine.
Joe Allen’s Singularity Weekly: Humanity is composed of three primary elements—the spiritual, the biological, and the technological. At best, we are eternal souls enshrined in bodies, with exceedingly powerful tools in our hands. At worst, we’re bumbling monkeys in the Machine. As the materialist worldview erodes our spiritual consciousness, we’re left with nothing but mortal bodies. When God is dead, technology is exalted as the highest power, holding out the promise of free WiFi and synthetic salvation.
Carla Sosenko reporter for Newsweek: As the news of Queen Elizabeth’s death was announced, rainbows arced across the British skies. One above Windsor Castle, another above the Queen’s official residence, Buckingham Palace in London. In doing her duty—in serving her country so completely that she became it—Elizabeth was a person of rare virtue.
GLOBALISM & TRANSHUMANISM (HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED
Emmons: Biden Issues Transhumanist Biotechnology EO Calling to ‘Program Biology in the Same Way’ We Program ‘Computers’
Biden ran for president on an agenda of crises : Covid, the economy, racism, and climate change. Along the way, he promised to cure cancer, tasked every government agency with finding more ways to support gender identity over biological sex, and now per a new action plan, he intends to wield the power of the federal government to remake society through genetic engineering and other biotech programs, as well as massive data collection. In other words, he’s going to spend federal funds on a transhumanist agenda for societal recreation. […] “For biotechnology and biomanufacturing to help us achieve our societal goals,” the order reads, “the United States needs to invest in foundational scientific capabilities. We need to develop genetic engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in which we write software and program computers; unlock the power of biological data, including through computing tools and artificial intelligence; and advance the science of scale-up production while reducing the obstacles for commercialization so that innovative technologies and products can reach markets faster.” The concept of rewriting cells has been undertaken by the company CRISPR, and concerns have been raised that genetic engineering could lead to eugenics, wherein parents will undertake to create “designer babies,” and human beings who are not genetically engineered will suffer a disadvantage. This bioengineering would also be available for other sectors as well as medicine, and could have a huge impact on food production, forestry, and other areas.

CONGRESS
Justice: House Passes Liz Cheney’s Trojan Horse Elections Bill Enabling Democrat Takeover Of The Ballot Box
The bill, proposed by GOP Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from California who is under Cheney on the Jan. 6 Committee, reforms the 135-year-old law to narrow the grounds for objections to presidential electors and open the door to late-day voting. Cheney’s “Presidential Election Reform Act” became the Democrats’ answer to their failed effort to override state election laws in H.R. 1, which Senate Republicans blocked last summer. The legislation carries some of the same provisions of the doomed election bill at the top of Democrats’ congressional agenda. Just nine Republicans supported the bill, all but one of whom supported President Donald Trump’s second impeachment and are either retiring or have lost their primaries. […] “The bill broadly defines a ‘catastrophic event,’ which could be used to extend balloting for up to five days after the polls close in a presidential election,”

BIDEN’S FBI & DOJ
Bonchie: FBI Caught in Another Major Corruption Scandal After Misleading a Judge
Another day, another example of the FBI’s vast corruption. A new report based on unsealed documents has revealed that the bureau misled a judge over a warrant in order to seize tens of millions of dollars in valuables without cause. In total, $86 million in cash with more in gold, silver, and jewelry was taken by the federal government from over 1,400 safety deposit boxes under the guise of them being connected to crimes. Eighteen months later, newly unsealed court documents show that the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles got their warrant for that raid by misleading the judge who approved it.
Purnell: FBI Raids Pro-Lifer’s Home, Arrests Him In Front Of His Kids After Ignoring Pro-Abortion Terrorism
Roughly 25-30 armed FBI agents with more than a dozen vehicles swarmed Catholic pro-life activist and author Mark Houck’s Pennsylvania home early Friday morning and arrested him in front of his children, according to Houck’s wife Ryan-Marie. In an interview with LifeSiteNews, she described a SWAT-style raid with agents aiming guns at the house and surrounding it before “they started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.” When the father of seven answered the door, pleading with the agents to remember “my children are in the home,” Ryan-Marie said the G-men “just kept pounding and screaming.” Once Mark allowed them inside, “they had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house,” his wife recalled. Their children, she added, “were all at the top of the stairs which faces the front door … just screaming.” As LifeSiteNews reported: After asking them why they were at the house, the agents said they were there to arrest Mark. When Ryan-Marie asked for their warrant, ‘they said that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not.’ […] What was his crime?

Piper: CDC walks back COVID guidance again, finds lasting post-vaccine heart problems in young adults
Ivy League-affiliated hospital hides myocarditis ad for kids following criticism that it’s trying to “normalize” vaccine-induced condition. Cardiologist explains how father’s inexplicable death led him to question COVID vaccines. The CDC continues to erase distinctions by COVID-19 vaccination status in public health guidance as ongoing global research — including its own — documents the mediocre performance of COVID vaccines and their unexpectedly high rates of lasting harm in some groups. Vaccination status is no longer used “to inform source control, screening testing, or post-exposure recommendations” for healthcare personnel, the Friday update to their CDC guidance says. The agency “[c]larified” that healthcare facilities, including nursing homes, have discretion on whether to screen-test asymptomatic personnel. It also now says asymptomatic patients “in general” do not require “empiric use of Transmission-Based Precautions” after exposure to an infected person. […] Prasad noted one patient required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which is “as serious as it gets,” and more than 100 were prescribed medication such as beta blockers and ACE inhibitors at their last followup, including half of the not-fully-recovered patients. “This cannot be attributed to any underlying anxiety or mental health issue,” but only “the direct effect of the vaccine on the heart muscle,” he said.

Hecht: D*ed S*ddenly N*ws
Tiago Fernando Henriques is an artifical intelligence programmer who lives in Canada. Back in the spring of 2021, he began to notice an unusually high number of his young peers experiencing serious medical issues, such as chest pain, seizures and strokes. He heard about a story from a friend about a buddy of his whose body went haywire 10 minutes after recieving the Pfizer shot. Mr. Henriques decided to go check out the situation for himself, and he took a trip out to North Sydney. The person in question was a disaster, paralyzed and not functional. After seeing him in June 2021, Mr. Henriques opened a Facebook group with the goal being support and communication from those who were injured from a Covid vaccine. The group grew organically for about a year, and had reached ~12k members at the beginning of this summer. Since then, the group has broken records for pace of growth. There currently are over 286,400 members, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Died Suddenly News is the name of the group, and it’s heartbreaking to realize that the growth of the group is due to people all over the world suffering suddenly, due to injuries or deaths of loved ones.

Sibarium: Shareholders Demand Pfizer Scrap Race-Conscious Policies in the Wake of Civil Rights Lawsuit
That didn’t take long. Less than a week after Pfizer was hit with a lawsuit over a fellowship program that excludes whites and Asians, shareholders are demanding that the company scrap a spate of race-conscious policies that they say put it at risk of further litigation. The lawsuit, filed Sept. 15, argues that Pfizer is violating federal law by excluding white and Asian applicants from its prestigious “Breakthrough Fellowship.” In an open letter to Pfizer executives last week, shareholders allege that the program is just one of several policies that invite a “pandora’s box” of civil rights complaints. Beyond the fellowship, they point to an apparent requirement that a fourth of Pfizer directors “identify as ethnically diverse,” according to the company’s ESG reports and corporate governance principles.
CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY
Bergman: China: The ‘Massive’ Threat
In an unprecedented move, the head of the FBI, Christopher Wray, and the head of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, the MI5, Ken McCallum, came together in July to warn against the “massive” threat that both intelligence services consider China presents. “We consistently see that it’s the Chinese government that poses the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security, and by ‘our’, I mean both of our nations, along with our allies in Europe and elsewhere,” Wray said in a joint address by the two directors at the London headquarters of MI5. “Today is the first time the heads of the FBI and MI5 have shared a public platform,” McCallum said. “We’re doing so to send the clearest signal we can on a massive shared challenge: China.” “The most game-changing challenge we face comes from the Chinese Communist Party,” McCallum said. “It’s covertly applying pressure across the globe.”
The two intelligence directors listed a number of threats that they consider the greatest currently emanating from China. Both directors emphasized that one of the greatest challenges to Western economies is China’s theft of Western technology through a variety of means.

Le Mahieu: •Chinese Official Calls Taiwan Independence A Charging ‘Grey Rhino’ That Needs To Be Forcefully Stopped
Foreign Minister Wang Yi took aim at Taiwan during his Thursday comments at the Asia Society in New York while he was attending meetings at the U.N. “Taiwan independence is like a highly disruptive gray rhino charging towards us that must be stopped resolutely,” he said at the event. “We have always worked with the greatest sincerity and effort to pursue peaceful reunification, but we will never tolerate any activity aimed at secession.”
BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY
Wilber: ‘Fundamentally Transforming’ America Into a Communist Hellhole
In order to achieve that, it would include uncontrolled spending to create massive debt that the country simply cannot sustain, thereby crashing the economy. People see their savings and bank accounts dwindle to nothing as a result of ever increasing inflation. Eventually finding themselves dependent on government handouts for their very survival. In addition, open the borders and flood the country with illegal immigration, overwhelming the social welfare system that is put in place to provide help and support to Americans. Instead pass those resources onto those who illegally entered the country, justifying it all as a humanitarian gesture. Create a ‘climate emergency’ and turn it into a clarion call for groups of people who are easily manipulated. Make energy independence . . . […] Normalize and ‘mainstream’ . . . […] So how do we stop it? Well, to use the left’s own words against them, we stop it “by any means necessary”. First off never ever give up your guns. The Second Amendment is the one thing that keeps the communist wolves at bat. Secondly, . . .

Renck: House Candidate Slams Biden as “Constitutional Disaster”
The Biden administration has become a “constitutional disaster” and the Constitution now is “under serious assault,” one of the most-watched Republican congressional candidates warns. “The Biden administration is a constitutional disaster the likes of which we have not seen before,” Harriet Hageman, the GOP candidate running for Wyoming’s only congressional district, said Wednesday at a Heritage Foundation event marking Constitution Day.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA
(9/20/22) Wauck: On The Verge Of Totalitarianism
Yesterday, to not much fanfare in the MSM, the WH published a press release from its Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP): Science and Technology!—who doesn’t want the US to stay on the cutting edge of science and technology? Do you want us to fall behind China, or Russia? We need to be first!
We worship at the altar of science and technology, because we no longer believe in God or human nature. And what could go wrong—just look at the successes of our mass campaign of experimental genetic medication injections! Hiding the report on a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) under the heading of science and technology—rather than under, say, an Office of Totalitarian Implementation—is meant to lull the populace into accepting total state control over their lives. The press release, while framing work done so far as an effort to understand what it would all be about, gives the game away when it shifts to the word “urgent”. Note how the “variety of risks” is presented as if those risks are basically something like the risks involved in the use of credit cards or online banking—no more: . . .

Meads: Democrats Praise ‘Global Citizens’ At The Global Citizen Festival: ‘You Are The Wind Beneath Our Wings!’
Greetings, global citizens! Some things happen in politics that are a bit too on the nose. For example, conservatives have warned that “America Last” globalists in Washington, D.C., are wasting federal money on pet causes such as climate change. At the same time, these self-appointed moral betters are pushing the entire world into having the same set of rules, customs, and culture. Those same elites remain oblivious that enemies like China are completely flouting those standards. Critics say that is all a conspiracy and fear-mongering. To help alleviate those fears, Democrat President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) addressed the Global Citizen Festival this past weekend.
THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN
Hauf: Meet the Taxpayer-Funded Group Pushing ‘Transgender Identity’ on Two-Year-Olds
Zero to Three, which has 3,653 members who work in the field of early childhood development, has received $234.68 million in funds from the Department of Health and Human Services since 2008 and is slated to receive an additional $52 million by 2027, including a $4.2 million grant from the Biden administration set to begin this month. The group trained 89,222 professionals last year, according to its 2021 impact report. HHS did not respond to a request for comment. […] John King, the former secretary of education for the Obama administration, delivered the keynote address for the September conference, in which he commented on the “critical need to address equity issues” in early childhood education. Before King’s speech, the conference hosted a “Virtual Drag Bingo” for its “happy hour entertainment.” Zero to Three did not respond to a request for comment. Aside from HHS, Zero to Three received $1.95 million from the Department of Justice during the Obama administration.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S MARXIST PLAYBOOK: DECLARATION OF WAR ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT
Murdock: ASU Launches Hate Speech Surveillance With Biden Administration’s Help
Last week, Arizona State University (ASU) launched a hate speech surveillance campaign with assistance from the federal government. ASU’s McCain Institute received support from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Program to launch SCREEN Hate, an effort to monitor youths’ online activity. The institute told parents and caregivers that it was only a matter of time before the minors in their lives were discovered and corrupted by hate online. “Trusting that your family’s values will protect them is not enough,” warned the campaign site.
The campaign resources came from DHS and leftist organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), UNESCO, Common Sense Media, and the National School Boards Association (NSBA).

Cleveland: Special Counsel Durham’s Protect-The-Establishment Approach Is Destroying The Country
Special Counsel John Durham continues to ignore the FBI’s malfeasance in the Crossfire Hurricane targeting of Donald Trump, a Friday court filing by prosecutors in the criminal case against Igor Danchenko confirms. While that approach may have been prudent and in the country’s best interests three and a half years ago, when then-Attorney General Bill Barr tasked Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia collusion hoax, it is no longer judicious. The special counsel’s failure to appreciate this reality threatens the government’s case against Danchenko, but more significantly has spurred the Biden administration, the D.C. deep state, and partisan state officials to further weaponize the criminal justice system against their political enemies.
Alexander & Smith: Eric Adams’ migrant camp begins to take shape: Trucks arrive in the Bronx to begin construction of HUGE tent city for 1,000 migrants being bused to NYC by Texas – despite the borough president and locals’ huge opposition
Construction workers in the Bronx were beginning on Monday to build the first of two tent cities, designed to host the 13,000 migrants who have been bussed since August into the city from Texas. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, last week announced the creation of the tents to house the influx of migrants. One site would be Orchard Beach in the Bronx, he said, and the second had not yet been determined. Yet on Monday, as construction was underway, the Bronx president said she was concerned about the new development – both the impact it would have on her community, and the safety of all those involved. Workers in hardhats were seen carrying metal poles that were delivered on trucks – as others drilled into the ground and prepped for the construction of the tents. Vanessa Gibson warned that Orchard Beach frequently floods, and pointed out that the location was isolated, without access to public transport.

Harsanyi: Is Italy’s Next Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, A ‘Fascist’? Hardly
Giorgia Meloni, as you’ve doubtlessly heard, is the “far-right” next prime minister of Italy. So says virtually every news outlet in the United States. And anyone familiar with the left’s perfunctory use of “ultra-conservative,” “far-right,” “hard-right,” or “semi-fascist” to describe those who take positions to the right of the Democratic Party’s latest platform, should be skeptical. Then again, trying to decipher European elections through the prism of American politics is a frustrating endeavor. But here is a cataloging, as best as I can pull together, of the claims used to portray Meloni as fascist: . . .

Mahmoud: We Will Neither Forgive Nor Forget the Murder of Mahsa Amini
On the day when the “moral police” was beating Mahsa Amini, they could not have imagined that her shed blood would engulf the religious authority system like the way it did. Mahsa Amini was a 22-year-old innocent Kurdish girl from Saqqez, western Iran, was taken to the hospital after being arrested and tortured by the “moral police” in Tehran and died on Friday 16 September in Kasra hospital. Now 4 days after, this cowardly act has angered all of Iran and the international community. […] After a long period of silence, Iranian universities have now risen and raised their voices against this cruelty and violence against Mahsa Amini and all the women of Iran. Following Tehran University, AmirKabir University, Melli University, Allameh Tabatabai University, Tarbiat Modares University, and Isfahan University have become the scene of student uprising and protest. And other universities will also rise. […]The blood money of Mahsa Amini is the freedom of Iran.

Stevenson: Iranian Women Cast Off Their Hijabs
The death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman, has ignited nationwide protests across Iran. Amini was beaten to death by the mullahs’ morality police after she was detained in Tehran on 13 September, after failing to comply with the regime’s strict hijab (headscarf) rules. Women in Iran have been treated as second-class citizens by the mullahs for more than four decades. The misogynist lunacy of the clerical regime has even extended to a demand by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that cartoon character women must wear the hijab. Now, in Iran, even animated female characters in cartoons cannot reveal their hair! Women’s dress codes are under constant scrutiny. They must wear the hijab and ‘morality police’ are on relentless patrol to enforce the law. Women, particularly young women, are singled out for brutal attacks for the ‘crime’ of mal veiling. Girls who were deemed to be improperly dressed in the street have suffered horrific acid attacks and stabbings, in assaults openly condoned by the mullahs. Teenage girls, arrested for the offence of posting videos of themselves dancing or singing on social media, have been publicly flogged. Young female students attending end-of-term parties have been fined and beaten. This is what gender equality looks like in Iran today. The toll of women executed in Iran’s medieval prisons continues to rise.

Hayward: Iran: Death Toll Mounts, International Outrage Grows on Day 10 of Hijab Uprising
Protests continued across Iran on Sunday night despite promises by the regime to “deal decisively with those who oppose the country’s security and tranquility” and take “decisive action without leniency.” Those warnings came from Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday and judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei on Sunday, respectively. […] The number of people killed in the protests after ten days is difficult to determine, in part because the regime has been shutting down Internet service in a bid to prevent dissidents from organizing. The official death toll stands at 41, but international human rights groups believe the total is much higher.
Stock: Liberals have a fetish problem
Under what conditions should a person be free to indulge his sexual fetishes in public? This question was brought into stark relief last week at a school in Ontario, where the attire of a male teacher now identifying as a woman raised a new version of the old question “how many grains of sand make a heap?”: How many cup sizes make a pair of prosthetic breasts wildly inappropriate? Like the existence of the heap, at a certain relatively advanced size the inappropriateness seems blindingly obvious — but it’s hard to say exactly at what point this began. Responding to its critics, Oakville Trafalgar High School has suggested that its teacher’s attire fell under the protected characteristics of gender identity and gender expression enshrined in Canadian law. It’s a similar argument to the one wheeled out a few days earlier to defend another sexual fetish being assimilated into the LGBTQI+ rainbow — this time by the World Professional Association for Trans Health (WPATH) in its new medical guidelines, widely considered as the gold standard in trans healthcare. There are several striking things about WPATH’s latest edition — . . . […] I draw your attention to the chapter on eunuchs.
