Democrats, Led by Adam Schiff, Have Meltdown Over Flynn Pardon
Democrats, led by Rep. Adam Schiff (CA), erupted in anger Wednesday afternoon after President Trump pardoned his former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (U.S. Army Ret.), bringing to an end Flynn’s nearly four year long ordeal of being targeted and prosecuted by the Obama-led Deep State for a crime he did not commit.
Schiff’s statement, “Donald Trump has repeatedly abused the pardon power to reward friends and protect those who covered up for him. This time he pardons Michael Flynn, who lied to hide his dealings with the Russians. It’s no surprise that Trump would go out as he came in —
Crooked to the end.”
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA): “Michael Flynn committed a felony. But since he is a friend of @realDonaldTrump, he gets special treatment no ordinary person gets, like a pardon. This is the kind of behavior that caused voters to fire @POTUS, because Trump repeatedly put himself & his elite friends over America.”

Doctors Warn Side Effects From COVID-19 Vaccine "Won't Be A Walk In The Park"
Fevers, sweats, migraines and muscle aches that last for days - these are just some of the symptoms reported by various 'Phase 3' trial participants who volunteered for the vaccine trials run by Pfizer, Moderna and others. Though AstraZeneca noted in its preliminary results that its vaccine (which uses the more traditional adenovirus vector) seemed to produce side effects that are less severe than some of its competitors.
As scientists try to ensure the US reaches a 70%+ vaccination rate (the cut-off point at which herd immunity is believed to kick in) a group of doctors just warned that public health officials and drugmakers need to be "transparent" with patients about the potential side effects of vaccination, and ensure precautions are taken to ensure patients don't skip their follow-up visit.
This is a top concern for Dr. Sandra Fryhofer of the American Medical Association, who warned that the side effects might deter many of her patients from receiving the follow-up shot. Dr. Fryhofer expressed her concerns during a virtual meeting on Monday with the CDC and representatives from various vaccine makers
"We really need to make patients aware that this is not going to be a walk in the park," Fryhofer said during a virtual meeting with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, an outside group of medical experts that advise the CDC. She is also a liaison to the committee. "They are going to know they had a vaccine. They are probably not going to feel wonderful. But they've got to come back for that second dose."
During the meeting on Monday, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases who frequently participated in CDC press briefings during the early days of the outbreak, said the agency would work to develop guidance if a health-care worker got a vaccine and then felt unwell the following day, since this could "impact planning on a hospital level in terms of which staff gets vaccinated which day?" she said.
Beyond ensuring hospitals aren't left in the lurch because they decided to vaccinate their entire staff at the same time, the doctors also discussed a novel strategy: using "positive" language to talk about the sideeffects. One example would be referring to side effects as a "response" to the vaccine.
Of course that won't actually do anything to mitigate the side effects.
As one might expect, some patients who participated in the study actually got upset when they didn't experience severe side effects post-vaccination, believing it was a sign they had received the placebo not the actual vaccine.

Trump Says Giuliani’s Election Efforts Will Be His ‘Crowning Achievement’ During Surprise Phone Call Into Pennsylvania Senate Hearing
President Donald Trump called into the Pennsylvania Senate’s special hearing on the 2020 election Wednesday and called former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s work on election related legal challenges “his crowning achievement.”
“This is going to be your crowning achievement,” the president said to Giuliani via speakerphone held to the mic by campaign legal counsel Jenna Ellis. “You’re saving our country.”
Trump spoke after Giuliani presented 12 witnesses, all of whom alleged various forms of potential fraud or irregularities with how election workers counted votes.
The president claimed that the testimony and affidavits collected by the campaign’s legal team prove that “this is an election we won easily, and we won it by a lot.”
“What happened here, this is not the United States of America,” he continued. “We got 74 million votes, and if you would have said 74 million votes the day before the election, every professional would have said there’s no way.”
Trump noted that he “got 11 million votes more than we had 4 years before in 2016, and we got many votes more than Ronald Reagan had when he won 49 states.”
“They cheated, it was a fraudulent election,” he closed. “This is a very important moment in the history of our country.”

Black Lives Matter activist who helped lead Louisville marches shot dead
A troubled Kentucky Black Lives Matter activist who helped lead Breonna Taylor protests in her hometown of Louisville has been shot dead, according to reports.
Hamza “Travis” Nagdy — who often led marches while preaching through a megaphone — was gunned down just before 12:30 a.m. Monday near the University of Louisville campus, the Courier Journal reported.
The 21-year-old activist was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the paper said. Police have released few details about the shooting, and the reports have not suggested a link to his protests.
Fellow protesters put up memorials for him in the city, while an online fundraiser started by his sister had raised almost $30,000 by Wednesday afternoon — twice the target to cover funeral costs.
“He was an inspirational leader,” his sister, Sarah Nagdy, wrote on the fundraiser, calling him “an avid activist for Black Lives Matter.”
Nagdy previously recalled to the local paper his upbringing as “a screwed up little kid” who spent time in foster homes and then jail before finding his calling with the protest movement over Taylor’s police shooting death in March.
“I’m an ex-foster kid, I’m a felon and I don’t have my GED,” he told the Courier Journal last month.
“I spent three years or four years, not consecutively, incarcerated. And next week I’m flying to New York with Until Freedom. I’m having lunch with a state representative. I got people asking me to lead marches,” he bragged of his apparent transformation.

French Senate Adopted Resolution Calling To Recognition Of Nagorno-Karabakh
The French Senate voted in favor of the resolution on the need to recognize the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). This resolution is only a recommendation in its nature and is calling on the government of the country to recognize the independence of the Republic of Artsakh.
The text of the resolution was presented by the leaders of the five largest parliamentary factions.
The decision to adopt the resolution was taken almost unanimously. Among 336 senators, only one voted against, and 305 voted for the adoption of resolution.
The resolution not only contains an appeal to the recognition of the Republic, it also demands the withdrawal of Azerbaijani military forces from the territories occupied since the outbreak of clashes on September 27. Today, 16 localities of the Kelbajar region of Nagorno-Karabakh came under the control of Azerbaijan. The remaining localities that come under Baku’s control are located in Lachin (52), Martakert (8), Hadrut (29), Shusha (2), Askeran (8) and Martuni (6) regions.
The adopted resolution one more time stressed out the necessity OSCE of implementation to the peace process in Nagorno-Karabakh, the only way for France to realize its influence in the region.
Armenian Prime-minister Nikol Pashinyan hurried up to express his gratitude to the French Senate, publishing a post in Twitter in French.
France remains the main Western supporter of Armenia. The Armenian diaspora in France is the largest in Europe. The political establishment of Armenia, especially the Pashinyan’s administration, is strongly linked to France. For example, there is the French University in Yerevan, where the future Armenian political elite studies, and it is directly managed from France.
“Charles de Gaulle said:“ France cannot be a France without greatness.” Today, it is the parliament that is the embodiment of this greatness, supporting the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. We could not avoid the war, we will do everything to avoid dishonor, ”said Senator Valerie Boye.
Officially, the French Senate proclaims its commitment to the human rights support and its readiness to prevent the new escalation in the region, blames the Azerbaijani attack and its war crimes.
However, the real French support to the citizens of Nagorno-Karabakh is mostly declarative. At the moment, only one plain with humanitarian aid was sent to Yerevan. It is not compared, for example, to the Russian humanitarian support.
France’s main aim is to prevent the spread of Turkish influence in the region.
“Only its independence can guarantee the rights and freedoms of the populations of Nagorno-Karabakh which faces Turkish Islamist expansionism,” the Senator said in a Twitter post.
It is difficult to imagine that the French government will follow the recommendation to recognize Artsakh. How could France do so, while even the Armenian government with N. Pashinyan is not hurrying up to give the independence to this region?!

ROTHSCHILD BANKING CARTEL IS NERVOUS
Fed, IMF Sound Warning That More QE Could Lead To "Unintended Consequences"
Five years ago we wrote that the world’s most exclusive club has eighteen members. They gather every other month on a Sunday evening at 7 p.m. in conference room E in a circular tower block whose tinted windows overlook the central Basel railway station. Their discussion lasts for one hour, perhaps an hour and a half. Some of those present bring a colleague with them, but the aides rarely speak during this most confidential of conclaves. The meeting closes, the aides leave, and those remaining retire for dinner in the dining room on the eighteenth floor, rightly confident that the food and the wine will be superb. The meal, which continues until 11 p.m. or midnight, is where the real work is done. The protocol and hospitality, honed for more than eight decades, are faultless. Anything said at the dining table, it is understood, is not to be repeated elsewhere.
Few, if any, of those enjoying their haute cuisine and grand cru wines— some of the best Switzerland can offer—would be recognized by passers-by, but they include a good number of the most powerful people in the world. These men—they are almost all men—are central bankers. They come to Basel to attend the Economic Consultative Committee (ECC) of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which is the bank for central banks.
The conclaves have played a crucial role in determining the world’s response to the global financial crisis. "The BIS has been a very important meeting point for central bankers during the crisis, and the rationale for its existence has expanded,” said former BOE governor Mervyn King. “We have had to face challenges that we have never seen before. We had to work out what was going on, what instruments do we use when interest rates are close to zero, how do we communicate policy. We discuss this at home with our staff, but it is very valuable for the governors themselves to get together and talk among themselves.”
Those discussions, say central bankers, must be confidential. “When you are at the top in the number one post, it can be pretty lonely at times. It is helpful to be able to meet other number ones and say, ‘This is my problem, how do you deal with it?’” King continued. “Being able to talk informally and openly about our experiences has been immensely valuable. We are not speaking in a public forum. We can say what we really think and believe, and we can ask questions and benefit from others.”
The conversation is usually stimulating and enjoyable, say central bankers. The contrast between the Federal Open Markets Committee at the US Federal Reserve, and the Sunday evening G-10 governors’ dinners was notable, recalled Laurence Meyer, who served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve from 1996 until 2002. The chairman of the Federal Reserve did not always represent the bank at the Basel meetings, so Meyer occasionally attended. The BIS discussions were always lively, focused and thought provoking. “At FMOC meetings, while I was at the Fed, almost all the Committee members read statements which had been prepared in advance. They very rarely referred to statements by other Committee members and there was almost never an exchange between two members or an ongoing discussion about the outlook or policy options. At BIS dinners people actually talk to each other and the discussions are always stimulating and interactive focused on the serious issues facing the global economy.”
