501 Deaths + 10,748 Other Injuries Reported Following COVID Vaccine, Latest CDC Data Show

 

These numbers reflect the latest data available as of Jan. 29 from the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System website. Of the 501 reported deaths, 453 were from the U.S. The average age of those who died was 77, the youngest was 23.

 

As of Jan. 29, 501 deaths — a subset of 11,249 total adverse events — had been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following COVID-19 vaccinations. The numbers reflect reports filed between Dec. 14, 2020, and Jan. 29, 2021.

 

VAERS is the primary mechanism for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before confirmation can be made that an adverse event was linked to a vaccine.

Travellers won't be allowed into Australia without a vaccination certificate, minister signals

 

It's "highly likely" vaccination certificates will be required for international travel, Australia's Federal Minister for Government Services said today.

 

"There is still a range of decisions for governments to make, it's highly likely that a certificate will be required for international visitors to Australia and we will continue to work with our international counterparts on our framework for vaccination certificates," Stuart Robert said.

 

"Australians can have assurance the certificate they will have will be robust, it will be anchored to them, so they will know it's their certificate, and it will be widely accepted."

 

He didn't confirm, however, whether they'll lead to a faster opening of international borders, saying he'd leave "any commentary" up to Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

 

"But any requirement for borders to open up will require vaccination and it will require the widespread use of a certificate and that is what we are talking about today," Robert added.

 

"Australians can have enormous confidence that the digital certificate or the paper-based certificate they have will be robust."

'See Something, Say Something Online Act' Punishes Big Tech for Not Snitching

 

Plus: Oregon decriminalizes hard drugs, Kroger closes stores over hazard pay rule, and more…

 

A new bill revitalizes the war on terror's favorite slogan in service of forcing tech companies to turn over more user data to the government. The "See Something, Say Something Online Act," introduced by Sen. Joe Manchin (D–W.Va.) and co-sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn (R–Texas), is the latest attack on the federal communications law known as Section 230 as well as freedom of speech and online privacy.

 

The legislation says any interactive computer service provider—that means social media giants, small blogs, podcast hosting services, app stores, consumer review platforms, independent political forums, crowdfunding and Patreon-style sites, dating apps, newsletter services, and much more—will lose Section 230 protections if they fail to report any known user activity that might be deemed "suspicious."

 

"Suspicious" content is defined as any post, private message, comment, tag, transaction, or "any other user-generated content or transmission" that government officials later determine "commits, facilitates, incites, promotes, or otherwise assists the commission of a major crime." Major crimes are defined as anything involving violence, domestic, or international terrorism, or a "serious drug offense."

 

For each suspicious post, services must submit a Suspicious Transmission Activity Report (STAR) within 30 days, providing the user's name, location, and other identifying information, as well as any relevant metadata.

 

Those submitting the user surveillance reports would henceforth be barred from talking about or even acknowledging the existence of them. STARs would also be exempt from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

 

The bill, which comes amid renewed calls to stamp out domestic terrorism after the Capitol riot, is impressive in managing to be both completely invasive and utterly unconcerned with even appearing to be about protection, since the remedy—report within 30 days—would hardly help stop the commission of crimes. If we were talking about the Capitol riot, for instance, companies who still hadn't reported posts about it would be OK.

 

The bill would set up a massive new system of intense user monitoring and reporting that would lead to more perfectly innocent people getting booted from internet platforms. It would provide the government with a new tool to punish disfavored tech companies, and it would enlist all digital service providers to be cops in the failed post-9/11 war on terror and the drug war.

 

The bill states that some posts facilitating crimes require a STAR to be filed immediately, though it's vague about what these are (any "suspicious transmission that requires immediate attention" requires being reported immediately). The first example it provides is "an active sale or solicitation of sale of drugs."

 

A new federal agency would handle the suspicious activity reports—which could also be submitted by any individual, not just tech companies.

 

An easy, anonymous, online way for people to flag each other's social media accounts for the Department of Justice—what could go wrong? (Insert all the eye rolls here.)

Why are our universities so desperate to work for China's dictators? MI6 fears over UK colleges links to Beijing as at least a dozen institutions are probed by spooks

 

The institutions include some of the most prestigious universities in the country

The MoS has agreed not to identify the universities at the centre of the inquiry

Tory MP argues that Britain is making a mistake to open up universities too much

 

More than a dozen British universities are under investigation over commercial relationships with the Chinese government that might break laws designed to protect national security and human rights, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

 

The institutions – which include some of the most prestigious universities in the country – could be hit by ‘enforcement notices’ imposed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs over alleged breaches of export controls in their dealings with Beijing.

 

It is understood the security services fear some academics have been sharing pioneering British technology with China that could be facilitating the dictatorial Communist government’s repression of minorities and dissidents.

 

The MoS has agreed not to identify the universities at the centre of the inquiry on the grounds of national security.

 

The security service investigation, led by MI6 officers seconded to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, was launched amid growing concern in Downing Street that academics were engaged in a ‘new gold rush’ to strike deals with the Chinese over cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs.

 

‘Exporters of military goods and those engaged in transfer of military technology specified in the Export Control Order 2008 – including universities and academics – require a licence to export or transfer from the UK,’ said a Government spokesman.

 

‘It is their responsibility to comply with the regulations.’

 

Last week, Manchester University cancelled an agreement with a Chinese military technology company after being warned that it supplied technology platforms and apps used by Beijing’s security forces in mass surveillance of Uighur Muslims.

 

The university said it was unaware of China Electronics Technology Corporation’s alleged role in the persecution of Uighurs until receiving a letter pointing out the links from the Commons foreign affairs select committee.

Congress mulls tightening eligibility for stimulus checks

 

Congress is eyeing tightening eligibility requirements on qualifying for the next stimulus check as it crafts its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill.

 

President Biden is proposing a $1,400 stimulus check as part of his plan that is being used as the framework for the legislation on Capitol Hill. Democrats pledged that if they won the Georgia runoff elections, and the Senate majority, that they would quickly deliver more assistance.

 

But there’s discussion about potentially making the third round of checks more targeted amid bipartisan concerns that, without changes, high-income households who weren’t previously eligible could get some form of payment.

 

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that the thresholds for the next round of stimulus checks can be adjusted and are under discussion.

 

“I think that's what most people have raised the issue on, both in the Senate and in the House. I, frankly, think that that is correct,” Hoyer said. “I don't want to speculate on the figure or a figure, but I think that may well be under consideration for adjustment from the one that was passed in December.”

 

Biden’s plan doesn’t include specifics on the yearly income cap for qualifying for the full check, or how the amount of the payment would phase down for people who are above that ceiling. But lawmakers are sending warning signs against sticking with the income caps and the phase-out structure used during the first two rounds of checks.

 

In a sign of where the debate on Capitol Hill is likely headed, the Senate voted 99-1 during an all-night marathon session in support of tightening eligibility requirements to ensure that “upper-income taxpayers are not eligible.”

 

The amendment is nonbinding, but the broad support is likely to put pressure on lawmakers crafting the bill to make changes in order to win over enough support to pass the coronavirus relief package. Democrats are using reconciliation to pass the bill, a budget tool that will let them bypass the 60-vote legislative filibuster in the Senate and the need for GOP support.

 

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden is firmly sticking with the $1,400 amount for the next check, but is open to negotiating on who is eligible and how the checks are scaled down for individuals who make above the cap for receiving a full check.

New York Times: UAE hired NSA hackers to spy on Qatar

 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) established an electronic spy network that included "former members of the US National Security Agency, with the aim of spying on Qatar", The New York Times reported.

 

The US daily said the aim of the hacking network was to prove Qatar's terrorism financing allegations and Qatar's funding to the Muslim Brotherhood group.

 

According to the newspaper, the Abu Dhabi government offered high salaries to members of the spy network, often double or even quadruple their previous salaries.

 

"We were misled by double financial offers under the cover of working for an allied government of Washington," a former member of the network told The New York Times.

 

The UAE has yet to comment on the report.

 

On January 5, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt signed a reconciliation deal with Qatar to heal a long-running rift, which started in 2017 after the Saudi-led coalition accused Doha of supporting terrorist groups, an accusation vehemently denied by Qatar.

 

Among other claims of hacking Qatari interests, in December 2020, it was revealed that a spyware created by an Israeli company was reportedly used by Saudi Arabia and the UAE to hack into the phones and devices of dozens of journalists working for Qatari news outlet Al Jazeera. The hacking attack against Al Jazeera's journalists was uncovered when its well-known investigative journalist Tamer Almisshal sought Citizen Lab's help after he grew suspicious that his phone had been hacked.

Covid 'is a gift that keeps on giving': Labour shadow attorney general is caught on tape saying pandemic is GOOD for rich City lawyers - leaving Keir Starmer facing furious backlash

 

Lord Falconer, Shadow Attorney General, used phrase at briefing for City firm staffed by millionaire lawyers

The peer insists he was referring to changes in the law triggered by the crisis - but a source close to the Labour grandee said he regretted his choice of words

Lord Falconer's comments were seized on by Conservatives, with party chairman Amanda Milling describing it as a 'troubling' example of Labour's approach to the pandemic

Comes after torrid week for Starmer, who apologised to the PM for making false accusations in the Commons

 

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is facing a backlash after one of his most senior frontbenchers described the Covid pandemic as a 'gift that keeps on giving' for lawyers.

 

Lord Falconer, the Shadow Attorney General, used the phrase during a briefing for a top City firm staffed by millionaire lawyers.

 

The peer insists that he was referring to changes in the law triggered by the crisis, but a source close to the Labour grandee said that he regretted his choice of words.

 

Last night, Lord Falconer's comments were seized on by the Conservatives, with party chairman Amanda Milling describing it as a 'troubling' example of Labour's approach to the pandemic.

 

As well as being a full-time member of the Shadow Cabinet, Lord Falconer – who served as Tony Blair's Lord Chancellor – is a partner at the international law firm Gibson Dunn, where his duties have included leading its Covid-19 UK Task Force.

 

Labour declined to reveal details of Lord Falconer's pay at the company, although it was reported in 2019 that full partners at the firm took home an average of £2.5 million a year.

 

The embarrassment comes after a torrid week for Starmer, who had to apologise to Boris Johnson for making false accusations in the Commons.

 

The Labour leader had called it 'complete nonsense' for the Prime Minister to claim that Starmer had wanted Britain's vaccines to remain under the regulation of the European Medicines Agency post-Brexit. He later had to admit the charge was true.

 

Constituency Labour parties have also reportedly been drawing up censure motions against Starmer as they lose faith in his ability to win a General Election.

 

The most recent opinion poll put the Conservatives three points ahead of Labour, while one survey found that just 16 per cent of people thought Starmer would have done a better job in handling the pandemic than Johnson.

Sleeping Giants’ Anonymous Founder Unmasked; Top Ad Writer Behind Boycott Campaign Targeting Breitbart, Ingraham

 

Sleeping Giants launched boycott campaigns against Breitbart and other right-wing voices.

The group’s founder took steps to protect his anonymity.

The Daily Caller News Foundation has revealed his identity: Matt Rivitz.

 

The founder of Sleeping Giants, a left-wing activist group that has targeted right-wing voices with boycott campaigns, has managed to keep his identity a secret, even as his own group has become a major political player among liberals. Until now.

 

Sleeping Giants was founded by Matt Rivitz, an award-winning ad copywriter based in San Francisco, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has found.

 

Following this article’s publication, Rivitz confirmed that he founded Sleeping Giants.

 

The group’s original stated goal was to cripple Breitbart, the pro-Trump website whose former chairman, Steve Bannon, worked in the White House as President Donald Trump’s chief strategist.

 

To accomplish that goal, Sleeping Giants has waged an intense campaign to pressure Breitbart’s advertisers into pulling their ads from the website. It’s worked pretty much as designed.

 

Breitbart lost 90 percent of its advertisers over the span of two months in 2017. Sleeping Giants has both maintained its pressure on Breitbart’s remaining advertisers and expanded its focus.

 

Sleeping Giants began pressuring investors in October 2017 in Renaissance Technologies — a successful hedge fund — to pull their investments because the company’s CEO, conservative billionaire Robert Mercer, had a financial stake in Breitbart. Less than two weeks later, Mercer sold his stake in Breitbart and stepped down from the hedge fund.

Kamala Harris signed letter in May against ICC's ‘dangerous politicization'

 

Another indication of the Biden administration’s thinking on the matter is that they have not reversed Trump-era sanctions on ICC officials.

 

US Vice President Kamala Harris signed a letter last year calling the International Criminal Court’s intentions towards Israel “dangerous” and stating that “the US should stand in full force” against them.

 

Another indication of the Biden administration’s thinking on the matter is that it has not reversed Trump-era sanctions on ICC officials.

 

The ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber ruled on Friday that it has the jurisdiction to probe war crimes allegations in Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem committed since June 13, 2014, including possible lawsuits against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, defense ministers and other high-level officials, as well as IDF soldiers and commanders.

 

Netanyahu has reached out to world leaders on the phone and through letters, presenting Israel’s position that the investigation is illegitimate. Israel is not a signatory of the Rome Statute which formed the ICC, and though the Palestinians did join, Israel and others argue that they do not reach the standards to be considered an independent state.

 

An Israeli government official involved in the matter said the decision “didn’t come as a surprise. There was a whole set of activities in place and we were ready to go.” Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office, National Security Council, Foreign Ministry, Justice Ministry and the IDF have been working on the matter.

Ambassador to the US Gilad Erdan spoke with officials in the White House over the weekend after the announcement was made and was given reassurances that they share Israel's position on the matter. Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi spoke with senior officials in the Biden administration and thanked them for their support.

 

On Saturday night, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said: "We do not believe the Palestinians qualify as a sovereign state…We have serious concerns about the ICC’s attempts to exercise its jurisdiction over Israeli personnel. The United States has always taken the position that the court’s jurisdiction should be reserved for countries that consent to it, or that are referred by the UN Security Council."

 

The bipartisan letter Harris signed last May when she was a senator, urged then-secretary of state Mike Pompeo to “stand in full force against any biased investigation of Israel” by the ICC. The leading signatories were Senators Ben Cardin of Maryland, a Democrat, and Rob Portman of Ohio, a Republican. Close to 70 more senators, including Harris, joined them.

Government waste critic: Deceased will get stimulus checks under Biden $1.9T stimulus plan

 

"They are going to once again send checks out to dead people," Tom Schatz told Just the News.

 

 

Direct stimulus payments will go to deceased people if the Democratic-led Congress passes President Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus plan, according to Tom Schatz, president of Citizens Against Government Waste.

 

The IRS has previously sent stimulus payments to some who have died.

 

Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act last March. After former President Trump signed it into law, people were reporting that their deceased relatives received stimulus checks or direct payments in their checking accounts.

 

"[T]he problem that caused the money to go to these people last time has not been fixed, and it's a relatively simple fix," Schatz said in an interview on the "Just the News AM" show. "The Social Security Administration has what's called the master death file. It is not shared with the Internal Revenue Service, it is shared with other agencies, but not the one where you would really want it to be shared, which is the IRS."

 

"And there has been legislation to change that," Schatz continued, "because apparently it requires a law for one agency to share information with another. And if they don't fix that, which I do not see in this 1,000-plus page bill, they are going to once again send checks out to dead people."

 

Schatz explained that the economic impact payments are based on previously filed tax returns.

 

"So if somebody paid taxes two years ago, or last year, and has now passed away, that check is going to show up," he said. "And of course, there's fraud related to that as well, people keeping the names of their deceased relatives or parents or siblings and just collecting checks, and they would qualify too, unfortunately."

 

The issue of deceased people receiving stimulus payments also occurred during the Obama-Biden administration. Nearly 90,000 erroneous stimulus payments were sent out in 2009 to people either incarcerated or no longer alive at the time, as part of the Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Now, 22 years later, Schatz said the problem of the wrong recipients receiving government checks is still here.

 

"It's not just the stimulus checks, it's other payments that go to people who are deceased, because again, they don't have a complete and full accounting of information not just at the federal level, but sometimes states have information that doesn't get up to the federal level about people who have passed away as well," he said. "It's a matter of management — mismanagement, really."

 

The mission of CAGW is to "eliminate waste, mismanagement, and inefficiency in government."

ECB's Lagarde Says Cancelling Covid Debts 'Unthinkable'

 

European Central Bank (ECB) chief Christine Lagarde on Sunday rejected calls to cancel debts run up by eurozone members to buttress their economies during the Covid-19 crisis.

 

The ECB has taken unprecedented steps to cushion the economic blow from the pandemic in the 19-nation euro area, launching a massive bond-buying scheme that has so far totaled 1.85 trillion euros ($2.2 trillion).

 

"Cancelling that debt is unthinkable," Lagarde told France's Le Journal du Dimanche weekly.

 

"It would be a violation of the European treaty which strictly forbids monetary financing of states," she said, calling it one of the "founding pillars" of the euro single currency.

 

She was reacting to a call Friday by more than 100 economists for the ECB to further boost the economic recovery of eurozone members by forgiving their debts.

 

In the letter published in several leading European newspapers, the economists noted that a quarter of the public debt of nations that use the euro 2.5 trillion euros ($3.0 trillion) was now held by the ECB.

'Child Sex Pizza at Hillary's Pizzeria': SNL Lampoons Pizzagate Conspiracy Theory in 'Super Bowl Ad'

 

Many social media users didn’t seem to appreciate the SNL episode as funny, while others remarked how non-political it was.

 

American comedy show Saturday Night Live has taken a humorous pop at adverts aired during the Super Bowl on the eve of the big game.

 

The sketches parody "how some of the big game’s TV advertisers might try to capitalise on the politics of the moment," as Fox News puts it, with the first fake ad using a "montage of historic moments from Black history and the civil rights movement" while promoting a brand of crackers.

 

"We’ve learned once again that freedom isn’t free. But we must always strive for equality and we must always reach for Cheez-its," the clip’s narrator says. "Cheez-its – historically delicious."

 

The second fake ad, for Papa Jones, makes use of references to the so called Pizzagate conspiracy theory, featuring the phrase "Sorry, Democrats, you’ll have to get your child sex pizza over at Hillary’s Pizzeria."

 

The last two fake ads are for Bud beer, one promoting the COVID-19 vaccination while the other urges viewers to "Don’t Trust Pfizer."

 

The SNL episode has witnessed a somewhat mixed reaction online, as some netizens didn’t seem to find it funny.

 

 

This SNL spoof of the CBS NFL Today might be the least funny thing they’ve done. I defy you to find one laugh. And maybe the worst impressions ever, especially the Bill Cowher one. Boring

'It gave me hope that my boy is back': Biden fights back tears as he gushes about Hunter's upcoming memoir that deals with his struggles with drugs - for which he received '$2million advance'

 

President Joe Biden said during interview that his son's book gave him hope

'The honesty with which he stepped forward and talked about the problem. And the hope that — it gave me hope reading it,' Biden said while referring to Hunter

Hunter's book called Beautiful Things will center on his well publicized struggles with substance abuse and is set for release on April 6

 

President Joe Biden has revealed that Hunter Biden's upcoming book has given him hope that his 'boy's back'.

 

In an interview with CBS News that will air ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, the president said: 'The honesty with which he stepped forward and talked about the problem. And the hope that — it gave me hope reading it.'

 

He was referring to Hunter's book called Beautiful Things that will center on his well publicized struggles with substance abuse. Hunter, who turned 51 on Thursday, was discharged from the Navy Reserve in 2014 after a positive test for cocaine.

 

The president also said that Hunter's story is one that other Americans can relate to.

 

You know, I'll bet there's not a family you know that doesn't have somebody in the family that had a drug problem or an alcohol problem,' Biden said.

 

Hunter, who has been ongoing target for conservatives, is set to release his memoir on April 6, according to Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

 

Acquired in the fall of 2019, Beautiful Things was kept under wraps even as Biden's business dealings became a fixation of then-President Donald Trump and others during the election and his finances a matter of investigation by the Justice Department.

 

In a snippet released by Gallery, Biden writes in his book: 'I come from a family forged by tragedies and bound by a remarkable, unbreakable love.'

 

Last week, Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary avoided answering whether the book was subject to government clearance.

 

Biden and the White House have promised that his family would not benefit from his administration, and already Vice President Kamala Harris' niece Maya Harris' has been warned against further moves to cash in on her family name, which have included a book about her aunt and a clothing range.

 

Asked about Maya Harris last week, Psaki said: 'It's the White House's policy that the president's name should not be used in connection with any commercial activities to suggest or in any way, in any way they could reasonably be understood to imply his endorsement or support.'

 

But Thursday she changed tone on Hunter, reading the statement, from the Bidens which said: 'We admire our son Hunter's strength and courage to talk openly about his addiction so that others might see themselves in his journey and find hope.

 

'This is a personal book about his personal struggle.'

Trump’s Efforts to Fight Sex Trafficking Made ‘Incredible Impact’: SHAREtogether Founder

 

Jaco Booyens, the founder of SHAREtogether, said former President Donald Trump’s efforts to create an office dedicated to fighting sex trafficking made an “incredible impact” over the last four years.

 

SHAREtogether is a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating child sex trafficking.

 

Booyens was interviewed by NTD on Friday and asked to expound on the big sex trafficking bust that occurred in California this week.

 

Sixty-four people were arrested and two women were rescued in an anti-human trafficking sting in California’s Riverside County.

 

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said the arrests were part of Operation Reclaim and Rebuild, an annual statewide operation. The sting “ran for four consecutive days before concluding on January 28, 2021,” the department said on Tuesday.

 

“It’s a big orchestration, to execute a sting or a bust, like what we’ve just seen in California, and it takes months and months of planning and funding. And that’s why it’s very important for both local and federal, local, state, and federal government to support the fight against sex trafficking, because you cannot do it on your own,” Booyens said.

 

He noted that for these operations to succeed, they need to be able to be conducted in a way that they can have standing in court, and some connections between the judicial system and the police have to exist.

 

Booyens said that before Trump “we’ve never had an office in the White House designated and dedicated to fighting sex trafficking. No former president in the history of this country has used his or her platform to denounce the exploitation of children and then appropriate funding. So we’ve seen an incredible impact over the years, over the last four years, particularly towards the support for law enforcement.”

 

Regular police officers, he said, are not trained to investigate, profile, or conduct a sting operation. It requires special training and a lot of resources and effort.

 

“We’ve seen a tremendous rise in the apprehension, the arrest of perpetrators and rescue of victims under the Trump administration, no question about it,” Booyens said. “In these cases that you’re seeing now such as California, and you’ll see some others coming out now, they’ve been 9, 10 months in the making under the Trump administration—in that mechanism of funding law enforcement appropriately, having special task forces.”

 

He said that since the new Biden administration has only been in office for one month, the situation in this regard remains to be seen.

 

“Whether those policies and systems that were put in place, whether they will remain or not, we don’t know,” said Booyens.

 

“But under the Trump administration, we saw a massive and also a morale lift. There was a morale lift within the nonprofits, our organization and the other 170 that we’re connected with, there was a general morale boost. We have support from the White House now. We actually now can see law enforcement departments talk to one another.'”

Iran’s Supreme Leader Declares ‘Post-US Era Has Started’ As World Paradigm Shatters Under Biden

 

Joe Biden's complete fumbling of international politics is emboldening Iran.

 

Since Joe Biden assumed the office of the President of the United States, China has grown increasingly hostile against Taiwan and India, Europe has snubbed the United States repeatedly, and the United States is once again invading Syria. This has led the Supreme Leader of Iran, one of the United States’ top geopolitical adversaries, to declare that the “post-US era has started.”

 

Only one day into Biden’s administration, the United States launched a fresh invasion into Syria with 40 trucks and armored vehicles, also only one day after Syria expressed hope that the Biden regime would continue President Donald Trump’s foreign policy that saw somewhat of a withdrawal from costly nation building.

 

At nearly the same time, China announced it now has the ability to manipulate the planet’s weather over a geographic region the size of India, which happens to be their nearest unfriendly neighbor. Days later, China flew fighters into Taiwan’s airspace, in an extremely hostile move. The Biden administration did nothing, with the media largely reporting that noted crack addict Hunter Biden urged his father to act with caution.

 

Before his inauguration, Biden was snubbed by nearly the whole of Europe, provoking even the pro-Democrat publication Politico to declare that “Europe gives Biden a one-finger salute.” In return, he snubbed Brussels, the seat of power for the European Union.

 

The Biden administration recently claimed that Iran is only “weeks” away from developing a nuclear missile, and said they will continue President Trump’s sanctions on the country until they are willing to return to the negotiating table.

 

JUST IN – Biden administration says Iran could now be 'weeks away' from having material to build a nuclear bomb.

Biden’s former boss, President Barack Obama, famously gave Iran billions of dollars in what is now called the Iran Deal, including pallets full of cash sent to Iran in the dead of night.

 

All of these facts together apparently led Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, who is allowed by Big Tech to remain on Twitter despite routinely calling for the deaths of Americans and Jews across the world, to declare, “The post-U.S. era has started.”

 

The post-U.S. era has started.

Israel to Brief Hundreds of Defense Officials, Fearing They May Be Arrested After ICC Ruling

 

Israel had prepared a confidential list of past and present officials who might be wanted by the international court, in the wake of decision on possible war crimes ■ Officials say several member states have agreed to warn Israel of any plan to arrest Israelis

 

Hundreds of senior Israeli security officials, past and present, are expected to be called in for briefings following a decision by the International Criminal Court in The Hague that allows investigations of alleged war crimes by Israel to proceed, fearing they may be arrested abroad.

 

In July, Haaretz reported that Israel had prepared a confidential list of decision makers and senior military and security officials who might be arrested abroad if the ICC authorized the investigation by the international court. Israel is keeping the list strictly confidential over concern that exposing it could put the people on the list at risk.

Project Argus: Prolonged Isolation Study by the U.S. Navy, 1962

 

Background

 

According to one of the documents below, the following best describes Project Argus:

 

The Navy has long been aware that prolonged isolation and confinement of men in relatively small vehicles or habitats can have undesirable effects – not only on their social-emotional well-being, but also on their performance effectiveness. Thus, to study the problem , the Navy established Project ARGUS (Advanced Research on Groups Under Stress) at the Naval Medical Research Institute in 1962. Initial funding was provided by the Office of Special Projects.

 

The immediate objectives of Project ARGUS were to build a body of scientific knowledge regarding the effects of isolation and confinement, the nature of individual differences in tolerating such stresses , and the effects of various techniques used to minimize any impairment of psychological functioning resulting from them . The long -range goal of the program was to provide a base of knowledge which would aid in developing improved vehicle design criteria , selection and training procedures, and crew management techniques . Also, this knowledge would contribute to the development of advanced sea -based deterrent systems, deep submergence systems, man – in -the -sea habitats such as Sealab, manned spacecraft , etc.

 

This program was discovered when The Black Vault filed a FOIA request for records relating to OPERATION Argus, a study that conducted three high-altitude nuclear tests in the south Atlantic Ocean. However, the response from the U.S. Navy in 2015, revealed this isolation study, known as PROJECT ARGUS.

 

Those documents collected about this program, are below.

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16

 

14For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own compatriots as they did from the Jews, 15who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out; they displease God and oppose everyone 16by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they have constantly been filling up the measure of their sins; but God’s wrath has overtaken them at last.*
