Russia predicts revival of ISIS & ‘caliphate 2.0’

Moscow says that risks from militant groups worldwide have not gone away

Terrorism threats in unstable regions in the Middle East and Afghanistan still remain a key threat to Russia’s safety, Moscow has cautioned, speculating that radicals could be making gains on the African continent.

Speaking to RIA Novosti on Wednesday, Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov said that “the situation for counterterrorism remains very tense. The environment remains difficult in Syria and Iraq, where the main destabilizing factors are the holding of the Idlib de-escalation zone by radical groups and the presence of ISIS and Al-Qaeda cells.”

The official went on to add that “in Africa, especially in the Sahara-Sahel zone, [the Russian Foreign Ministry] can essentially observe the preconditions for… the revival of the terrorist ‘caliphate version 2.0’ there.”

Syromolotov also said that Moscow is “closely monitoring the situation in Afghanistan”, where there is a high level of terrorist threats from the ISIS and Al-Qaeda sympathizers who have settled there after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban this summer. He cautioned that this poses a risk for Russia and Central Asian states.

ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban are designated as terrorist organizations and banned in Russia.

Russia could bring back death penalty - court chair

Capital punishment has not been applied by Moscow since 1996

The moratorium on capital punishment imposed in Russia in 1997 after the country joined the Council of Europe could be lifted in the future, the chairman of the country’s Constitutional Court said on Tuesday.

In a book published on the website of the court, Valery Zorkin suggested that the country return to the doctrine of national identity and that constitutional control means Moscow should make its own laws, rather than take influence from other countries in Europe. In Zorkin’s view, the introduction of a moratorium on capital punishment was a concession to values which are not inherent in Russia.

“The fact that the Constitutional Court has made a decision making it impossible to use the death penalty in Russia at this historical stage of its development does not rule out the possibility of a return to this form of punishment in the future,” Zorkin said.

Russia has an indefinite moratorium on the application of capital punishment, which was a prerequisite for joining the Council of Europe. However, the death penalty has not been formally abolished. A constitutional court ruling could change that.

According to Zorkin, the death penalty cannot be completely ruled out, as there will always be the existence of premeditated murders.

In the USSR and Russia, he death penalty was imposed for various crimes until the mid-1990s. The moratorium on the death penalty appeared in 1997, when Moscow signed the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms concerning the Abolition of the Death Penalty.

In practice, the death penalty had already not been applied for a year, despite it still existing in the criminal code.

The move to reinstate capital punishment has been backed by some lawmakers, including MP Mikhail Sheremet from the ruling United Russia party.

“We are too late with this question. Lifting the moratorium on the death penalty is a necessary and justified measure. This decision should have been made long ago,” he told news agency RIA Novosti. “The death penalty would be a kind of inoculation against paedophiles and maniacs, who cause great damage to the security and morality of our society.”

“We do not need to follow Western stereotypes and imposed dogmas of behavior. I think it is appropriate to put the issue of the return of the death penalty to public discussion,” he said.

PETA Investigator Finds 360 Dead Dogs During Investigation Into NIH Abuse of Beagles

The NIH was recently accused of horrible cruelty to dogs being experimented on. A recent PETA investigation is confirming this abuse.

FOX News reports:

The National Institutes of Health was accused of involvement in a $1.2 million contract over the past decade to purchase beagles for cruel experiments, said PETA senior vice president of cruelty investigations Daphna Nachminovitch on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.“

The most recent alleged violation is from Virginia-based supplier Envigo, which is accused of providing nearly 5,000 beagle dogs and puppies to NIH and other labs to be confined and tortured.

During a PETA investigator’s visit, more than 360 dogs were allegedly found dead.

The Gateway Pundit first reported on this grotesque animal abuse in August.

Judge For Ghislaine Maxwell Trial "Trying To Avoid A Mistrial" Over Omicron

The judge presiding over the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking trial has asked jurors to continue attending court ahead of the New Years period, expressing concern over the speed of spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant.

Noting the “astronomical spike” in COVID-19 cases, Judge Alison Nathan requested that jurors be available to deliberate on Dec. 30 and 31, which were originally scheduled as days off for New Years. Additionally, the days will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., instead of finishing at 5 p.m.

Nathan noted that the jurors can take as much time as they need to deliver their ruling. She also noted that, if they choose, they can stay later than 6 p.m. going forward.

She said specifically she was “trying to avoid a mistrial due to the Omicron variant.”

The jury is now into their fourth full day of deliberations on the innocence or guilt of Maxwell to six federal counts, including sex trafficking of minors, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three counts of conspiracy.

Maxwell faces up to 70 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

The jury’s somewhat convoluted question to the court regarding a specific element of a specific charge against Ghislaine Maxwell was answered by Nathan on Dec. 27 in favor of the prosecution. At the time, Maxwell’s defense team voiced its objection.

In the early morning hours of Dec. 28, the defense sent a followup letter to Nathan on the issue, which saw further debate on the topic in the courtroom at about 10 a.m. EST.

When defense attorney Christian Everdell started his discussion of the topic again, Nathan said he was “seeking a third bite of the apple,” but added, “Go ahead,” and heard the latest version of his argument.

Prosecutor Alison Moe had previously said to Nathan, “The jury has been accurately instructed on the law and that’s all that’s required.”

Nathan stood by her original answer to the question, which was for the jury to follow specific directions written out in their instructions.

There was no new activity until 4:45 p.m. when the jury sent its latest note that read, “Our deliberations are moving along and making progress,” and then requested to be dismissed at 5 p.m.

Nathan brought the jury in and granted their request, while noting the changes in scheduling going ahead.

Ukraine’s Zelensky continues crackdown on critical media

Kiev has imposed sanctions on three companies that run TV channels which don't support the current government

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky has continued his crackdown against dissent in the media by imposing a new set of restrictive measures against three companies that own opposition-aligned TV channels, it emerged on Tuesday.

The sanctions take aim at channels UkrLive and First Independent, both of which are believed by the Ukrainian authorities to be owned by Taras Kozak, an MP for the country’s largest opposition party, Opposition Platform – For Life.

The measures also hit the Novosti media holding company, the owner of channels 112 Ukraine, NewsOne, and ZIK. These stations were taken off air in February this year, having been blacklisted by Zelensky. All three channels are also owned by Kozak, who dubbed the move “an act of blatant censorship.” The president explained his decision by suggesting that Kiev was fighting “propaganda,” and linked the channels to Russia.

Kozak is thought by many to be the right-hand man of politician Viktor Medvedchuk, the chairman of the political council of Opposition Platform – For Life. Medvedchuk is considered an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the party has consistently called for closer links with Moscow. Medvedchuk is currently under house arrest, accused of treason and the attempted looting of national resources.

The new sanctions on the holding companies include the blocking of assets, restrictions on trade operations, and the canceling of licenses. In a joint statement published on Tuesday night, UkrLive and First Independent slammed them as “illegal,” and accused the National Security and Defense Council of running a “dictatorship” where there is a “de facto ban on opposition activities.”

“The Ukrainian authorities have once again proved that they see free media as their main enemy and will act by any means to suppress freedom of speech in Ukraine,” the statement said. “We regard today’s events as another attempt by the Ukrainian authorities to suppress any alternative opinion about the situation in Ukraine and to use the repressive machine to fight against independent media.”

In the past year, Zelensky has also placed restrictions on the opposition-leaning websites Strana.ua and Shariy.net.

Almost all news outlets in Ukraine are bankrolled by wealthy individuals such as Kozak. Zelensky himself came to power in 2019 with support from the 1+1 Media Group, owned by Igor Kolomoisky, a billionaire oligarch and former regional governor.

Rand Paul: Thousands Dying Every Month Because Of Fauci's Obsession With Pushing Vaccines

Senator Rand Paul has warned that thousands of Americans are dying from COVID every month because Anthony Fauci is obsessed with pushing vaccines in place of therapeutic treatments that are effective in treating the virus.

Appearing on his Father Ron Paul’s Liberty Report, the Senator noted that Fauci has displayed a bias toward vaccines since he attempted and failed to produce a vaccine for AIDS and HIV in the 1980s and 90s.

“I would venture to say that thousands of people die in our country every month now because [Fauci] has deemphasized the idea that there are therapeutics,” Paul urged.

CIA Experimented on Hundreds of Orphans, Torturing Them to Reveal Psychopathic Traits—Report

According to a new documentary out of Denmark, which interviewed former victims, the Central Intelligence Agency secretly carried out experiments on 311 orphaned children. The experiments were meant to reveal psychopathic traits and map out the link between schizophrenia and heredity. According to the report, the children were tortured in clear violation of the Nuremberg Code of 1947 that introduced ethical restrictions for experiments on humans.

Hundreds of Danish orphans were unknowingly used in experiments backed by the CIA, according to Danish Radio, reporting on a new documentary called “The Search for Myself.”

According to the report, the experiments began in the early 1960s and spanned the course of two decades. They were conducted to investigate the link between heredity and environment in the development of schizophrenia. However, the children were not told what research they were involved in. Not even after the experiments ended. It was also funded in part by a CIA front associated with the MK-Ultra program.

Eerily, the examinations took place in a basement at the Municipal Hospital in Copenhagen. The director and producer of the documentary, Per Wennick, was actually a victim of the CIA and subjected to these experiments as a child. In the documentary, he recalled being placed in a chair, getting electrodes put on his arms, legs, and chest around the heart and having to listen to loud, shrill noises, which attempted to incite a psychological response.

“It was very uncomfortable”, Wennick told Danish Radio. “And it’s not just my story, it’s the story of many children.” By his own admission, he was promised “something funny” before being taken to the hospital. “I think this is a violation of my rights as a citizen in this society. I find it so strange that some people should know more about me than I myself have been aware of.”

According to historian, PhD, and museum inspector at the Danish Welfare Museum, Jacob Knage Rasmussen, this was the only known experiment in Danish history that used children under state care for research — and it was funded by the CIA in violation of the Nuremberg Code.

“I do not know of similar attempts, neither in Denmark nor in Scandinavia. It is appalling information that contradicts the Nuremberg Code of 1947, which after World War II was to set some ethical restrictions for experiments on humans. Among other things, informed consent was introduced, which today is central to the world of research”, Knage Rasmussen told Danish Radio. He emphasized the vulnerability of the group in the custody of the state, who had nobody to complain to.

According to Danish Radio, the idea to experiment on the vulnerable children came from American psychologist Zarnoff A. Mednick, who was then a professor at the University of Michigan.

According to Wennick and the National Archives, the research project was co-financed by the US health service. In the first year alone, the project was supported with what today corresponds to DKK 4.6 million ($700,000). It also received funding from the Human Ecology Fund.

The Human Ecology Fund was a CIA funded operation through the Cornell University College of Human Ecology Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology to support covert research on brainwashing. It was also connected to research under the MK-Ultra program in which social scientists, including anthropologists, were led (mostly unwittingly) to provide input into interrogation techniques still in use today.

Florida surgeon general says Biden admin is 'actively preventing' distribution of monoclonal antibody treatment amid Omicron surge

The Biden administration is "actively preventing the effective distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments" for treatment of COVID-19, according to Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo.

In a letter addressed to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Ladapo said the federal government's abrupt pause of monoclonal antibody treatment distribution is causing "another immediate and life-threatening shortage of treatment options to the State of Florida."

"The sudden suspension of multiple monoclonal antibody therapy treatments from distribution to Florida removes a health care provider's ability to decide the best treatment options for their patients in this state," Ladapo wrote.

"This shortsightedness is especially evident given that the federal government effectively prohibited states from purchasing these monoclonal antibodies and serving their populations directly," he continued. "Florida is a large, diverse state with one of the highest percentages of seniors in the U.S., and we must empower health care providers to make decisions that will save the lives of Americans everywhere without the dictates imposed by the federal government."

New York Times: COVID Boosters May Cause 'Immune System Fatigue,' Compromise Ability to Fight Virus

The New York Times reported that experts advised caution before Israel approved a fourth COVID-19 vaccine injection, warning that too many shots might actually harm the body’s ability to fight the virus by causing “immune system fatigue.”

As Israel rolls out a fourth COVID-19 vaccine injection to curb the spread of the Omicron variant, experts are now warning that too many injections may cause “immune system fatigue,” and actually compromise the body’s ability to fight the virus, the New York Times reported.

From the report:

“JERUSALEM — Israel is considering whether to approve a fourth Covid-19 vaccine dose for vulnerable people to contain the fast-spreading Omicron variant, despite debate among scientists and a lack of evidence either for or against another booster.

The panel of experts advising the Israeli government on the pandemic recognized that uncertainty, but on Tuesday it recommended giving a fourth dose, concluding that the potential benefits outweighed the risks. It pointed to signs of waning immunity a few months after the third shot, and said that any delay in additional doses might prove too late to protect those most at risk.

But some scientists warned that the plan could backfire, because too many shots might cause a sort of immune system fatigue, compromising the body’s ability to fight the coronavirus. A few members of the government’s advisory panel raised that concern with respect to the elderly, according to a written summary of the discussion obtained by The New York Times.”

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has signaled his support for the fourth injection.

“The price will be higher if we don’t vaccinate,” said Dr. Boaz Lev, a member of the Israeli government advisory panel said. “We don’t have a lot of time to make decisions.”

This comes after the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) found that an overwhelming majority of Omicron cases in United States were in “fully vaccinated” people, as National File previously reported.

During an interview with conservative media personality Candace Owens, President Donald Trump said his COVID-19 vaccines were one of the greatest achievements of mankind.

“The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take the vaccine. But it’s still their choice. And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected,” he said.

“Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it’s a very minor form,” Trump continued. “People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.”

Pfizer Partnered With China’s Vaccine Passport Platform, Admits Being ‘Proud To Stand With China Leaders.’

Pfizer Inc partnered with a Chinese Communist Party payment platform which has been used to implement “vaccine passports” in China since the outbreak of COVID-19. The company said it was “proud to stand with China leaders.”

The pharmaceutical giant – whose U.S. lobbying efforts hit an all-time high in the past year – expressed its pride for the brutal, communist regime in the following tweet from June 6th, 2018:

“We are proud to stand with China leaders & @Alipay to introduce new, digital solutions to improve disease education and vaccine access-creating a brighter future for Chinese children,” the tweet reads.

“We are honored to be a partner in China’s ‘Internet + Vaccination’ initiative,” reads an accompanying graphic, quoting Pfizer’s China General Manager Wu Kun.

The message also revealed the firm’s partnership with Alipay, a Chinese online payment platform originally founded as an offshoot of the Chinese Communist Party-linked company Alibaba.

Alibaba has also been involved in the “research, production, and repair of weapons and equipment for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)” and has a “deep record of cooperation and collaboration” with China’s “state security bureaucracy,” according to Assistant Secretary for International Security and Nonproliferation at the U.S. State Department Christopher Ford.

The State Department has also flagged the company as a “tool” of the Chinese Communist Party, aiding in its build-up of “technology-facilitated surveillance and social control.”

Despite these ties, Pfizer partnered with the platform in 2018, as outlined in the company’s annual review:

“We’re using the Alipay platform, which has over 700 million active users in China, to provide much needed education about disease and vaccinations. Additionally, to help China reach its ambitious 2030 goals to reduce infant mortality, we are exploring the use of the platform for mobile payments to improve convenience in Chinese Point of Vaccination centers, as well as options for installment payments that may reduce the financial burden for low income families.”

The unearthing of the partnership between Alipay and Pfizer, which occurred a year prior to the onset of COVID-19, also follows China relying on the platform to institute vaccine passports. As The New York Times explains:

“After users fill in a form on Alipay with personal details, the software generates a QR code in one of three colors. A green code enables its holder to move about unrestricted. Someone with a yellow code may be asked to stay home for seven days. Red means a two-week quarantine.

In Hangzhou, it has become nearly impossible to get around without showing your Alipay code. Propaganda-style banners remind everyone of the rules: “Green code, travel freely. Red or yellow, report immediately.”

Alibaba was recently penalized by the CCP for failing to adhere to recent laws requiring the company to put the regime’s interests ahead of its duty to report critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities to the world.

Oklahoma Judge Denies State’s Request to Stop National Guard COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

An Oklahoma federal judge on Tuesday ruled against an attempt from the state to block the Department of Defense’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for National Guard members.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Friot rejected a motion from Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R), Attorney General John O’Connor, and sixteen Oklahoma Air National Guard members for a preliminary injunction to the mandate, saying the plaintiffs’ claims were “without merit,” and thus the motion would be denied.

Stitt and Attorney General John O’Connor, both outspoken critics of vaccine mandates, filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the vaccine mandate on Dec. 3, 2021.

In a complaint (pdf) which names President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and dozens more federal officials and agencies as defendants, the state argued that the mandate violates the Constitution and has no legal basis.

“This vaccine mandate certainly interferes with the sovereign prerogatives of the State of Oklahoma. It undermines the laws, public policy, dignity, and interests of the State of Oklahoma in governing the field of public health, including vaccinations,” the state wrote in its complaint.

However, in a 29-page ruling this week, senior District Judge Stephen P. Friot wrote that “the court would be hard-put to find that the public interest would be served by entry of an order prohibiting the implementation of a vaccine mandate which adds one FDA-approved vaccine to the list of nine that all service members are already required to take–that tenth vaccine being the one which has been shown to be remarkably effective in mitigating the effects of the pandemic which has affected millions of Americans, including thousands of service members.”

Washington State Democrats Push Bill Reducing Penalties for Drive-By Shootings

Washington state Reps. Tarra Simmons (D) and David Hackney (D) are pushing legislation to remove drive-by shootings from the list of crimes that elevate first degree to murder to a higher degree of murder carrying a mandatory life sentence.

FOX News reports that “drive-by shootings were added to the list of aggravating factors for murder charges in 1995.” At the time, drive-by shootings were one of a number of crimes that would elevate charges and Simmons and Hackney are now working to remove such shootings from the list.

The 1995 language that Simmons and Hackney want to specifically strike from the aggravating factors list says: “The murder was committed during the course of or as a result of a shooting where the discharge of the firearm… is either from a motor vehicle or from the immediate area of a motor vehicle that was used to transport the shooter or the firearm.”

Simmons says she believes the language surrounding drive-by shootings “was targeted at gangs that were predominantly young and Black.”

She added, “I believe in a society that believes in the power of redemption. Murder is murder no matter where the bullet comes from but locking young people up and throwing away the key is not the answer.”

Simmons points to Kimonti Carter as a example of why she wants to remove drive-by shootings from the aggravating factors list. Carter was convicted in a drive-by shooting that left two people dead in 1997. He received a 777-year sentence and Simmons said, “If he had been standing outside of the vehicle at the time, he would’ve faced 240-320 months in prison. Instead, he was sentenced to life in prison with no opportunity for parole because of this law.”

CNN Producer Rick Saleeby Refuses Comment When Questioned on Employment Status by Veritas Journalist

Now the FDA says rapid tests for Covid antigens may be less sensitive in detecting Omicron variant - causing 'false negative' results

Rapid antigen tests for Covid may be less sensitive in detecting the Omicron variant and are leading to 'false negatives,' the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.

The FDA made preliminary findings using samples from patients confirmed to be infected with the new mutant strain.

The federal agency said early results show that antigen tests 'do detect the Omicron variant but may have reduced sensitivity,' meaning it's possible the tests could miss an infection, known as a 'false negative.'

It's not clear which brand of lateral flow tests the FDA were using in their study or to what degree there was reduced sensitivity.

According to a meta-analysis of studies by the Cochrane Library, lateral flow tests detect an average of 72 percent of symptomatic cases and 58 percent of asymptomatic ones.

This could be the reason for their reduced sensitivity with Omicron because the new strain generally presents with milder symptoms and it is more likely than with previous variants to produce no symptoms at all.

The report comes as cases skyrocketed to record levels on Tuesday - with a seven-day average 254,496 infections - prompting high demand for at-home rapid tests which are in short supply.

Joe Biden has promised 500 million rapid tests for US households for free starting in January and the FDA also plans to set up new testing sites in addition to 20,000 already in operation.

The move comes after Amazon, CVS and Walgreens last week limited how many tests each customer could buy to cope with the surging demand.

The rapid tests can be done at home, with results in minutes, while PCR tests are processed in labs and have turnaround times that can take several days.

The FDA didn't say that people should not use the antigen tests.

'The FDA continues to authorize the use of these tests as directed in the authorized labeling and individuals should continue to use them in accordance with the instructions included with the tests,' the agency said.

'Antigen tests are generally less sensitive and less likely to pick up very early infections compared to molecular (PCR) tests.'

Gigi Gronvall, a senior researcher at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told NBC that the evolution of the virus meant it was harder to accurately detect.

'With with every new variant, we have to make sure that the tests work, and it looks like the tests work for this. But they're not picking up infections as early as previous versions,' she said.

'So if you feel any symptoms but test negative, it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card. You may need to test again and hold off a little bit on assuming that you're negative.'

However, despite the surging demand for the tests - the CDC said Tuesday that the Omicron strain's impact on the nation's Covid infections may have been overblown by as much as 50 percent.

The agency released a revised chart on Tuesday showing that the new variant accounted for 23 percent of all cases for the week ending on December 18, as opposed to the 73 percent it originally reported.

==Over 9,000 Marines Still Unvaccinated, Over 100 Discharged For Refusal

Thousands of Marines are still not vaccinated against COVID-19 despite the U.S. military’s vaccine mandate, and more than 160 have been discharged so far for refusing to get the vaccine.

As of Thursday, 94% of active-duty troops were fully vaccinated and another 1% were partially vaccinated, according to data from the U.S. Marine Corps.

That leaves the remaining 5% of an active-duty Marine force of about 182,500, which amounts to about 9,125 active-duty Marines who are still unvaccinated.

In August, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that all service members would be subject to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The announcement came two days after the FDA granted full approval to Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine.

“The secretary has communicated to the military departments to execute this mandatory vaccination program with, obviously, skill and professionalism, which we always do, but also with a measure of compassion,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said in a statement at the time.

So far, at least 169 Marines have been ousted from their positions for refusing to get the shot. Of those, 66 were discharged in just one week earlier this month.

More than 1,000 Marines have been approved for administrative or medical exemptions to taking a coronavirus vaccine. More than 3,000 requests for religious exemptions have been submitted, but none have been approved.

“The speed with which the disease transmits among individuals has increased risk to our Marines and the Marine Corps’ mission,” the Marine Corps said in a statement.

The Marine Corps has struggled to keep up with the other branches of the military regarding its vaccination rate among service members. The Army, Navy and Air Force all have close to or more than 98% service members fully or partially vaccinated.

The Marine Corps has also been the most aggressive about discharging service members who fail to get the shot.

The mandatory deadline for Marines to get the shot was Nov. 28, about one month ago.

“Marines refusing the COVID-19 vaccination, absent an approved administrative or medical exemption, religious accommodation or pending appeal, shall be processed for administrative separation,” the Marine Corps warned in an October statement ahead of the deadline.

The crackdown on service members who are still refusing to get vaccinated comes as some localities crack down on vaccine mandates and other COVID restrictions amid the spread of the novel Omicron variant.

WHO Warns Of 'Very High' Risk Omicron Could Overwhelm Healthcare Systems Worldwide Despite Early Data Showing The Covid Variant Has Reduced Risk Of Hospitalisation

Omicron still poses 'very high' risk and could overwhelm healthcare systems, the WHO warned on Wednesday, as the highly transmissible coronavirus variant fuelled record outbreaks in many countries.

Case numbers have shot up 11 percent globally in the last week, forcing governments from China to Germany and France to find a difficult balance between anti-virus restrictions and the need to keep economies and societies open.

The Netherlands and Switzerland said Omicron had become the dominant strain in their countries, and while some studies suggested it causes milder Covid-19, the World Health Organization urged caution.

'The overall risk related to the new variant of concern Omicron remains very high,' the UN health agency said in its Covid-19 weekly epidemiological update.

'Consistent evidence shows that the Omicron variant has a growth advantage over the Delta variant with a doubling time of two to three days.'

And despite those studies, Omicron's rapid growth 'will still result in large numbers of hospitalisations, particularly amongst unvaccinated groups, and cause widespread disruption to health systems and other critical services', warned WHO Europe's Covid Incident Manager Catherine Smallwood.

Painful restrictions

Europe was again one of the hotspots for the pandemic, which is known to have claimed more than 5.4 million lives around the world.

France, Britain, Greece and Portugal all reported record daily case numbers on Tuesday. France reported almost 180,000 infections over 24 hours.

Report: FEC Data Show Twitter Employees Made 99 Percent Of Political Donations Online To Democrats

‘The one percent shocks. They have somebody who actually gave to the GOP. I’m stunned’

The New York Post reported, “Twitter workers made 561 contributions through Actblue, the Democratic Party-linked payments processor, vs. just eight through its Republican counterpart, WinRed.”

Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center, the non-profit conservative watchdog group, told the Post, “The one percent shocks. They have somebody who actually gave to the GOP. I’m stunned.”

“Their day to day actions also contribute to that political party,” Gainor said of Twitter staffers, who have been accused of censoring conservative commentary. “There was a time when you could give to one political party and still be fairhanded, but that time is long past.”

The Daily Wire observed, “Ned Segal, Twitter’s Chief Financial Officer, donated $5,800, the legal maximum donation an individual can give, to Democratic Pennsylvania Congressman Conor Lamb.”

“Seksom Suriyapa also donated the legal maximum to Democrat California Representative Ro Khanna,” the Wire continued.

“Evan Stern, one of the company’s in-house attorneys, donated $2,900 to Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and Democratic Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, both of whom are running for re-election to a full term in the U.S. Senate in the 2022 midterms.”

Israeli Military Presents Government With Plans to Strike Iran

The IDF says it's hard to determine what the consequences of attacking Iran would be

The Israeli military has presented Israeli leadership with several possible scenarios for striking targets in Iran, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has received a budget boost of $2.9 billion to prepare for attacks on Iran. As part of its preparations, the IDF has conducted air force drills, acquired advanced weaponry, and collected data for new strike targets.

Israeli military officials told Haaretz that the IDF would be able to strike Iran as soon as the government gave the order. But the IDF stresses that it is difficult to determine the outcome and consequences of bombing Iran and how such strikes would impact Tehran’s civilian nuclear program.

The report comes amid renewed negotiations in Vienna to revive the Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA. Since the talks resumed, Israeli officials have been threatening to attack Iran and are warning Israel could act alone, without support from the US.

But most of Iran’s nuclear facilities that Israel wants to strike were built deep underground, and Israel lacks bombs with bunker-busting capabilities that would be needed to hit the Iranian nuclear sites. Israel also lacks bombers that could carry such munitions.

Israel is seeking a tanker plane from the US that would make it easier for Israeli warplanes to travel to and from Iran. But Washington has reportedly told Israel the aircraft won’t be delivered until at least 2024.

UK Government is colluding with the WEF on Artificial Intelligence for The Great Reset

The UK government confirms it is playing a leading role on global AI ethics and regulations and that it published Guidelines on AI Procurement in collaboration with the World Economic Forum Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

According to Ernst Wolff, German author and journalist, we are sitting right in the middle of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and expect, in the period ahead of us, the loss of millions and millions of jobs due to the introduction of artificial intelligence (“AI”). What has happened since March 2020 is according to a plan which can be read in books about the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Great Reset by Klaus Schwab, whose World Economic Forum (“WEF”) plays a key role in this whole agenda.

Parliamentary Written Questions: Artificial Intelligence, Standards

“The UK has a history of innovation-friendly approaches to regulation, in areas such as FinTech, HealthTech and online harms,” Matt Warman MP responded on 15 June 2021 to a parliamentary written question.

Two members of the UK’s Healthtech Advisory Board are Daniel Korski and Nicole Junkermann. Everything about Korski points to military intelligence and Junkermann is a Mossad-linked Jeffrey Epstein associate, wrote investigative journalist Johnny Vedmore. As for Fintech, the digital-financial complex stands ready at all times to bring every government cabinet in the world to its knees and make it compliant, said Wolff.

Warman’s response continued: “the UK is playing a leading role in international discussions on AI ethics and potential regulations, including work at the Council of Europe, UNESCO, the OECD and the Global Partnership on AI.”

The Council for Europe is not the same as the European Council. The Council of Europe has 47 member states, including all 28 member states of the European Union. Set up shortly after the end of the Second World War the United Kingdom was one of the founding members.

The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (“OECD”) is an intergovernmental economic organisation with 35 member countries founded in 1961 and “a pillar of the global economic governance architecture including the G7, G20 and APEC.” Its stated purpose is to stimulate economic progress and world trade and is leading the effort to reform the international tax system. OECD’S former Secretary-General, Angel Gurría, is included on the list of “People Killing Humanity” compiled by Dr. David Martin. There are a few relevant points regarding Gurría listed on a Telegram post HERE.

The Global Partnership on AI (“GPAI”) was launched in June 2020 and is the fruition of an idea developed within the G7. According to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (“ISED”), GPAI started as joint project between Canada and France.

Operation Extermination–the Plan to Decimate the Human Immune System with a Lab-Generated Pathogen

Question– Does the Covid-19 vaccine damage the immune system?

Answer– It does. It impairs the body’s ability to fight infection, viruses and disease.

Question– If that’s true, then why haven’t more people died after getting vaccinated?

Answer– I’m not sure what you mean? The vaccine has killed more people than any vaccine in history. “So far, in the United States, the death toll is three times higher than the total of all vaccines in the last 35 years.” That’s simply astonishing. We’ve also seen a steady rise in all-cause mortality and excess deaths in the countries that launched mass vaccination campaigns earlier in the year. Sometimes the increase is as much as 20 percent over the five-year average. That is a massive spike in fatalities, and it’s largely attributable to the vaccine. So, what do you mean when you say, “Why haven’t more people died”? Did you expect to see people clutching their hearts and dropping dead after getting jabbed? That’s a very naive understanding of how the injection works. (See: “COVID Deaths Before and After Vaccination Programs”, You Tube; 2 minutes)

Question– All I’m saying is that the percentage of people that have died is quite small compared to the tens of millions that have been vaccinated.

Answer– And all I’m saying is that if the vaccine is lab-generated pathogen– and I think it is– then it certainly was not designed to kill people on the spot. It was engineered to produce a delayed reaction that gradually but relentlessly erodes the health of the vaccinee. In other words, the full impact of the blood clots, bleeding, autoimmune issues and other vaccine-generated injuries will only be fully felt at a later date via increasing incidents of heart attacks, strokes, vascular illness and even cancer. (Check out the “latest trend of cardiac attendances by Scottish Ambulance Service – this is excess above the 2018/19 norm. Huge spike in summer, 500 ambulance calls per week above normal, mainly age 15-64. Was settling, then spike up again since late October.” Scottish Unity – Edinburgh Group)
