Biden Gang Shuts Down the Largest Producer of Baby Formula in the US Causing National Crisis

 

The Biden Administration is not for Americans. Now we find out that the largest producer of baby formula was shut down by Biden/Obama for 3 months.

 

We reported on the fact that baby formula is in short supply across the country and is being rationed as a result.

 

The main cause for this baby formula shortage appears to be the Biden Administration. The NRCC shares this:

 

 

NRCC Comment: “Before Joe Biden and Democrats took control of our government, it would have been unthinkable that parents would not be able to find baby formula to feed their children. Democrats’ stunning incompetence and mismanagement of the economy knows no bounds.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg

 

Biden is to blame because his FDA shut down a huge plant that makes baby formula in Michigan.

 

In February, the FDA warned parents not to use certain popular powdered infant formulas manufactured at Abbott’s Sturgis plant after receiving four reports of infants who were hospitalized with bacterial infections after consuming formula from the facility. Two of the infants died.

 

Abbott subsequently issued a recall of all potentially affected products manufactured at the facility and the FDA later shut down the plant after federal safety inspectors found Abbott failed to maintain sanitary conditions and procedures at the facility.

 

Last month, however, the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told NBC News none of the bacterial strains taken at the Abbott plant matched those collected from the infants, and the agencies haven’t offered an explanation for how the contamination occured.

 

For its part, Abbott says its formula “is not likely the source of infection,” though the FDA says its investigation continues.

 

Abbott Labs shared the following as reported at the Detroit Free Press:

 

An Abbott press release stated the February voluntary recall involved four complaints of Cronobacter sakazakii — a common environmental bacteria — in infants who consumed infant formula produced at the Sturgis plant. Two infants became sick and two died.

 

“The facts about what was learned about the cases of Cronobacter have not been widely communicated,” the release stated. “After a thorough review of all available data, there is no evidence to link our formulas to these infant illnesses.”

Switzerland releases some frozen Russian assets

 

The reported figure of $6.33 billion worth of sanctioned funds marks a decrease from the April disclosure

 

The Swiss government on Thursday reported that 6.3 billion Swiss francs ($6.33 billion) worth of Russian assets have been frozen under the country’s sanctions.

 

The report said the figure indicates a decrease from the roughly 7.5 billion Swiss francs (over $7 billion) in funds the government reported frozen on April 7.

 

A senior official at the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) agency overseeing sanctions, Erwin Bollinger, pointed to fewer funds (over $2 billion) newly frozen than those that had been released. “We can’t freeze funds if we do not have sufficient grounds,” Bollinger told journalists.

 

Switzerland’s bank lobby estimates that the country’s banks hold up to $213 billion of Russian wealth. Its two largest lenders, UBS and Credit Suisse, each hold tens of billions of francs for wealthy Russian clients, it says.

 

Data shows that Credit Suisse alone froze around 10.4 billion Swiss francs ($10 billion) of Russian clients’ money through March as part of sanctions imposed on Moscow over its military operation in Ukraine.

 

SECO officials said on Thursday that banks and asset managers can provisionally freeze funds, though the funds needed to be released if they could not establish that the assets were directly owned or controlled by a sanctioned individual.

 

“The amount of assets frozen is not a measure of how effectively sanctions are being implemented,” Bollinger said, adding that asset freezes were not the most important measure “by far” in the wide-ranging package of sanctions.

Democrat Rep. Katie Porter Says Bidenflation Reinforces the Need for Abortion

 

Democrat Rep. Kate Porter (CA) on Wednesday evening said Bidenflation reinforces the need for abortion because of food expenses.

 

This is the same woman who peddled a story to Politico of how suddenly she came face to face with rampant inflation when she was recently grocery shopping and says she put back a package of bacon when she saw the price was $9.99 per pound.

 

Politico reports Porter is a single mother of three struggling to get by on the $174,000 annual salary for House members while maintaining two households.

 

Unmentioned by Politico is that Porter’s Congressional finance report valued her assets at between $1.2 million and $2.8 million.

 

Inflation is at 40-year highs, gas prices are at record highs and Democrat Katie Porter says this is why women should be able to have abortions on demand up until birth.

 

Porter was asked how inflation and abortion issues compare.

 

“I don’t think they compare. I think they actually reinforce each other…it could become more expensive to feed your kids and to fuel your car is exactly why people need to be in charge of how many mouths they’re gonna have to feed,” Porter said with a smile on her face.

 

“The fact that we’re seeing this jump in expenses … pay more at the grocery store, pay more at the pump, pay more for housing is a reason people are saying I need to be able to make my own decision,” she said.

Acting Director of NIH Claims His Agencies’ Employees Like Doctor Fauci Don’t Have Real Conflicts of Interest When Selecting Solutions Where They Have a Financial Interest

 

The new head of the NIH either lied about the entity’s conflicts of interest or he doesn’t know what he is talking about. Neither are good.

 

Yesterday we reported on the Open The Books report on the millions of dollars paid to US workers and scientists at the government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH).

 

This information made it to the US House where Representative John Moolenaar (R-MI) used the information in the report to address members of the NIH. In talking to NIH Acting Director Lawrence Talbot, Rep. Moolenaar asked some pointed questions about the ‘real’ conflicts of interest within this organization of the US government where Dr. Fauci has housed himself for years.

 

Moolenaar shared:

 

If the agency is awarding who the beneficiary of the grant who’s doing the trial and there are somehow finances involved, that there’s a financial benefit that could be accrued if someone’s patent or invention is considered valid, do you not see that as a conflict or an appearance of a conflict of information [interest]?

 

Dr. Talbot responded:

 

I fully understand how it might sound as an appearance but, and it’s the sort of thing that we could maybe work together on so that we could explain to you the firewalls that we do have in place. Because they are significant and substantial.

Finland Will Seek NATO Membership "Without Delay" As Russia Warns Of 'Threat' To National Security

 

In a final significant step just after the nation's defense committee on Tuesday gave its formal recommendation in the affirmative, Finland's president and prime minister have also now come out urging application for NATO membership "without delay".

 

Sauli Niinisto and Sanna Marin said Thursday that a decision is likely during the next few days. "Finland must apply for NATO membership without delay," they said in a joint statement. "We hope that the national steps still needed to make this decision will be taken rapidly within the next few days."

 

A Thursday Pentagon spokesman statement was quick to welcome the imminent move, saying it would "not be difficult to integrate Finland into the NATO alliance" from a defense point of view, as cited by MSNBC.

 

At the same time NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg vowed that the membership process would be "smooth and swift" for Finland. "This is a sovereign decision by Finland, which NATO fully respects," Stoltenberg said, emphasizing that the Scandinavian country which shares an 810-mile long border with Russia would be "warmly welcomed into NATO".

 

Prior statements have indicated that Brussels would move to receive both Finland and Sweden - who have over the last month coordinated their intent to join the military alliance - "quite quickly" as Russia's invasion and military occupation of Ukraine has continued to unfold.

 

Finland's defense chiefs earlier this week had called eventual membership in NATO the "best option" for guaranteeing its national security, a significant U-turn given the till now stance of neutrality on the question, and amicable relations with its Russian neighbor.

Emails reveal top US scientist warned Chinese colleagues that Republicans wanted to investigate Wuhan lab for COVID-19 origins

 

A top U.S. scientist at a lab in Texas that shared close ties with the Wuhan Institute of Virology was offered a job at a Chinese university about one year after warning Chinese scientists that members of Congress were likely to start an investigation of the COVID-19 lab-leak theory, records obtained by Judicial Watch reveal.

 

In emails from April 2020, Dr. James W. LeDuc, a professor and former director of Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch, warned the top scientist at the Wuhan lab, Dr. Zhengli Shi, that Republican lawmakers were pushing for an investigation of her lab, which received funding from the U.S. government to conduct research into coronaviruses.

 

“These startling documents show that China had partners here in the United States willing to go to bat for them on the Wuhan lab controversy,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

 

Judicial Watch obtained these email records through a public records request issued to the University of Texas Medical Branch. The Galveston National Laboratory at UTMB is among the largest active bio-containment facilities in the United States, hosting several biosafety level 4 labs where deadly diseases are studied under tight security restrictions.

 

The records were obtained in response to Judicial Watch’s January 20, 2020, Texas Public Information Act (PIA) request to the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) that asked for:

 

All emails, email chains, text messages, email attachments, calendar invitations, and calendar invitation attachments by James W. LeDuc, former Director, Galveston National Laboratory, University of Texas Medical Branch, to and from domains ending in nih.gov or .cn (the Peoples Republic of China Government Domain) containing any of the following terms and parameters:

 

Wuhan within 10 words of coronavirus OR covid* OR SARS-CoV-2;

Wuhan within 10 words of mcl OR lab* OR institute;

Wuhan within 10 words of virology OR virus OR disease*;

Wuhan within 10 words of biocontainment;

Wuhan within 10 words of safety OR scien* OR breach;

Peter within 10 words of Daszak.

 

The records include an email dated April 16, 2020, with the subject line “Rubio” from former Commander of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases David Franz who informs Le Duc, “I heard from someone in government this evening that Senator Rubio is starting to push for an investigation regarding Wuhan lab. Just found it on the web at Forbes by Kenneth Repoza. Title of article is ‘eight senators call for investigation into coronavirus origins.’” (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2020/04/16/eight-senators-call-for-investigation-into-coronavirus-origins/?sh=1ac354835049)

 

Le Duc then forwards the email to Dr. Shi Zhengli, a top Chinese virologist known for her work with coronavirus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, requesting a phone conversation “soon” about the email.

10yo Girl Calls 911 to Report Her Police Officer Dad for Sexually Abusing Her, Fellow Cops Covered It Up

 

Chicago, IL — Frequent readers of the Free Thought Project are all too familiar with the concept of the “thin blue line.” Though law enforcement claims this line represents the force between good and evil, it is often used as a means to coerce and silence victims of police officers — especially domestic abuse.

 

For nearly a decade, TFTP has reported on countless incidents of police officers covering for fellow cops when they commit an act of brutality or when they beat their wives. Victims of domestic violence by police often have nowhere to go as reporting the crime to their abuser’s brothers in blue is a daunting task that could land them in deeper trouble.

 

One would think, however, that if a child of a police officer came forward to report that she had been abused — sexually — that cops would not be able to sweep it under the rug or look the other way. As the following incident illustrates, however, that is not the case.

 

In March, a 10-year-old girl called 911 and told dispatchers that her father, a veteran Chicago cop, had sexually abused her.

 

“The victim was scared and called 911,” responding officers would later report, according to the Chicago Sun Times, adding that the actions she described “were sexual in nature.”

 

The officer’s arrest started out normal and it appeared that he would be held accountable. He was taken into custody, according to the arrest report, for “aggravated criminal sexual abuse by family member” — a serious felony charge.

 

But after spending several hours in jail, he would be released on zero bail with new charges of “domestic battery” — a misdemeanor.

 

When someone with an actual conscience inside the department learned about the officer’s special treatment, a red flag was raised sparking two separate investigations. An internal investigation is now underway as well as another by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.

 

According to the Sun Times:

 

In the days after the arrest, two officers and a sergeant involved in the case were stripped of their police powers, according to a law enforcement source, who said only that they were accused of failing to follow departmental policy.

 

A police spokesman confirmed the action but refused to release any details.

FDA Will Allow Shuttered Plant to Release Baby Formula on ‘Case-by-Case’ Basis

 

The Michigan plant's closure has led to nationwide baby formula shortages

 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will allow a shuttered Michigan plant to release some of its baby formula stockpiles in order to combat a growing nationwide shortage. An Abbott Nutrition plant in Sturgis, Michigan — the nation’s largest infant formula plant — has been closed since February due to a bacterial outbreak.

 

In February, the FDA launched an investigation into the Sturgis plant after receiving reports of Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella Newport infections among infants. In total, four infant illnesses were reported and later linked back to consumption of formula from the plant. Two of the affected infants later died.

 

Federal regulators have yet to reveal how the outbreak was caused. Abbott Nutrition officials meanwhile have said they do not believe their formula itself was responsible for the outbreak. The FDA has said its investigation is ongoing.

 

The subsequent recall includes products from three different brands – Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare – and has contributed to an accelerating nationwide shortage, according to NBC 4 New York. Baby formula has a particularly vulnerable supply chain as a handful of companies account for almost all of the nation’s output.

 

Infants who require specialty formulas due to food allergies, digestive problems and other conditions are of particular concern.

 

“Unfortunately, many of those very specialized formulas are only made in the United States at the factory that had the recall, and that’s caused a huge problem for a relatively small number of infants,” said Dr. Steven Abrams, a professor at the University of Texas.

 

Now, the FDA will allow the plant to release some of its specialized baby formulas in a bid to alleviate the shortage. Federal regulators will not object “to Abbott Nutrition releasing product to individuals needing urgent, life-sustaining supplies of certain specialty and metabolic formulas on a case-by-case basis.”

 

Nationwide, about 40% of large retail stores are out of stock, up from 31% in mid-April, according to Datasembly, a retail data firm. Some retailers, including Walgreens and CVS, have been forced to impose purchasing limits on baby formula.

 

The FDA said Tuesday it was working with U.S. baby formula manufacturers to increase their output and streamlining paperwork to allow more imports, according to NBC 4 New York. In addition, the FDA said it was waiving enforcement of minor product labeling issues to increase availability of both U.S. and imported products.

Russia Says Finnish Entry to NATO Poses Threat to Which It Will Respond

 

Russia said on Thursday that Finland’s bid to join NATO was a hostile move that “definitely” posed a threat to its security.

 

The Kremlin said it would respond but declined to spell out how, saying this would depend on how close NATO moves military assets towards the 1,300 kilometer (800-mile) Finnish-Russian frontier.

 

The Russian Foreign Ministry said Russia would need to take “retaliatory steps, both of a military-technical and other nature, in order to stop threats to its national security arising”.

 

“Helsinki must be aware of the responsibility and consequences of such a move,” it said.

 

The Finnish move, which Sweden is expected to replicate, confronts President Vladimir Putin with the very outcome he said his war in Ukraine was designed to prevent—a further expansion of NATO to Russia’s borders.

 

“Finland joined the unfriendly steps taken by the European Union towards our country. This cannot fail to arouse our regret, and is a reason for corresponding symmetrical responses on our side,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Plane Veers Off Runway in China and Catches Fire; 36 Injured

 

BEIJING—A Chinese passenger jet veered off the runway during takeoff and caught fire on Thursday, sending black smoke billowing into the air and injuring more than 30 people.

 

The Tibet Airlines flight with 122 people on board was departing from the southwestern city of Chongqing for a flight to Nyingchi in China’s Tibet region.

 

Videos shared by state media showed the left side of the aircraft on fire as people who appeared to be passengers headed away from the scene. Other footage showed fire trucks spraying water on the plane. The accident happened at 8:09 a.m. (0009 GMT), Tibet Airlines said.

 

The Airbus A319-115 jet had 113 passengers and nine flight crew on board, all of whom were evacuated. During the evacuation, 36 people were injured with sprains or scrapes, according to the southwest regional branch of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

 

“In the process of taking off, the flight crew discovered an abnormality with the aircraft and stopped the takeoff according to the procedures. The aircraft left the runway and caught fire after the engine hit the ground. Currently the fire has been put out,” the aviation authorities said in a statement.

 

One passenger, Long Anquan, told China News Service that during takeoff he heard an unusual noise, after which the plane started to lean to one side and hit the ground with its wing. Long quickly bent forward and put his hands over his head, but the impact was so strong that he was still injured.

 

Long said he felt lucky to survive. “I’ve used up all my luck in my entire life,” he said in an interview with China News Service.

 

The Chinese flight tracking platform VariFlight said the plane is 9.5 years old.

 

The airport said about two hours after the accident that flights had resumed and that an investigation was underway. One of the three runways remained closed, the CAAC said.

 

The incident follows the crash of a China Eastern Boeing 737-800 in southeastern China on March 21 in which all 132 people on board were killed. That accident, in which the plane went into a sudden nosedive and slammed into the ground in a mountainous area, remains under investigation.

Colorado middle school reportedly invited students to secret LGBTQ club

 

A Colorado mother has complained that students at her daughter’s former middle school were taught about LGBTQ-related issues — and told to keep mum about it — after hosting a Genders & Sexualities Alliance club, according to a report.

 

Erin Lee told The New American that her 12-year-old daughter’s teacher at Wellington Middle School in Fort Collins invited her last May to an art club, where an outside speaker told the kids that “what you hear in here, stays in here,” Fox News reported.

 

“She explained to my daughter that if she is not 100 percent comfortable in her female body, then she’s transgender,” Lee told the conservative magazine.

 

“She then told the kids that parents aren’t safe, and that it’s OK to lie to them about where they are in order to attend this meeting,” she said. “She doubled down that parents aren’t safe [and] that heterosexuality and monogamy are not normal.”

 

The national grassroots organization Parents Defending Education identified the art teacher as Jenna Riep, saying she ran the GSA club and that the guest speaker was Kimberly Chambers, director of SPLASH Youth of Northern Colorado.

 

Chambers, a paid substitute teacher, also is a paid employee of the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment and has access to students’ information, PDE said.

People Traffickers ‘Nailed’ Toddlers into Wardrobes in Smuggling Attempt

 

A number of people traffickers have been jailed after toddlers were “nailed” into wardrobes in an attempt to smuggle them into the UK.

 

Five men have been jailed for being involved in people smuggling attempts which saw toddlers as young as two years of age “nailed” into wardrobes described as “coffin-like” by officials from the UK’s home office.

 

Paramjeet Singh Baweja, Viljit Singh Khurana, Harmohan Singh, Manmohan Singh Wadhwa and Dumitru Bacelan were all given prison terms for their involvement in a people-smuggling operation, which saw Afghans of various ages hidden in specially made compartments in the hopes of sneaking them into the UK.

 

According to a report by The Telegraph, these compartments, made from wardrobes and surrounded by other pieces of furniture in the back of vans, were “nailed” shut in such a way as to prevent migrants from escaping the containers without assistance.

 

With up to seven people being sealed into one of these compartments at a time, the publication reports that one group of migrants were only found as they were “shouting for their lives” while being loaded onto a recovery vehicle.

 

“These life-threatening attempts to smuggle people, including very young children, into the UK in the back of vehicles with room to barely move or breathe, is quite frankly, horrific,” said Home Office Minister, Tom Pursglove, regarding the incident.

 

“The operation run by this criminal group put children and vulnerable people’s lives in danger for the sake of making a profit,” he continued. “I hope these sentencings send a powerful message that breaking the law and putting individuals’ lives at risk will not go unpunished.”

 

While horrific, the known victims of the above smugglers can at least count themselves lucky that they escaped their ordeal with their lives.

 

The same sadly however cannot be said for the 39 Vietnamese nationals who died from a combination of hypoxia and hyperthermia — lack of oxygen and overheating respectively — after being trapped in the back of a lorry in 2019.

 

A number of men have since been convicted of various offences in relation to the deaths, with Stefan Dragos Damian being one of the most recent individuals involved in the fatal event to be jailed.

 

Damian — who helped transport illegal migrants as part of the gang involved with the migrants who died — admitted conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration, and was handed down a sentence of 46 months by a British court.

 

Another senior member of an organisation involved in trafficking at least 15 of the 39 victims was also recently jailed by a Belgian court, being sentenced to 15 years for his part in the deaths.

Critics Slam EU Move To Scan Private Messages In Name of Protecting Children As Mass Surveillance

 

Critics have slammed a new European Commission plan to monitor private communications online in the name of protecting children from abuse, stating the move amounts to the mass surveillance of Europeans.

 

The European Commission’s “Better Internet for Kids” plan was announced on Wednesday and looks to oblige internet service providers (ISPs) to detect, report and remove illegal materials depicting child sexual abuse as well as actively monitor private messaging, including encrypted messages.

 

While many companies, such as Apple, have long refused to allow government access to their encryption services, the Commission has argued, “if such services were to be exempt from requirements to protect children and to take action against the circulation of child sexual abuse images and videos via their services, the consequences would be severe for children,” Euronews reports.

 

The project will be run through a new EU Centre on Child Abuse, which will enforce the measures as EU commissioner for home affairs Ylva Johansson told a press conference Wednesday, “We are failing to protect children today.”

 

While the proposals to automatically read Europeans’ encrypted private messages are being sold as essential to protect children, some are worried the potential for the powers to be abused go well beyond that. Tom J.P. Vandendriessche, a member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the Eurosceptic, right-wing Belgian party Vlaams Belang, slammed the Commission’s proposal telling Breitbart London, “Chat control is a breach of several fundamental rights. Not only the right to free expression, but also the right to privacy. Yet another example of how the EU commission is trying to spy on citizens, suppress civil rights and disenfranchise ordinary citizens. ”

 

“Totalitarian tools and their love of mass surveillance are spreading throughout the European institutions like a virus. It is in fact a China Virus 2.0. Deadly for our freedom and democracy,” he added.

 

Privacy experts have been just as critical of the proposal, including Jan Penfrat of digital advocacy group European Digital Rights (EDRi), who said, “This looks like a shameful general surveillance law entirely unfitting for any free democracy.”

 

The proposal would see the EU issue “detection orders” to services like Whatsapp, Signal, Facebook Messenger and others which would require the companies to scan private messages of users for abusive content and messages that my be considered to be sexual or to be going toward the grooming of children.

 

However, according to Ella Jakubowska, an advisor to EDRi, it is not clear if the detection orders would need to be targetted, saying, “It completely leaves the door open for much more generalized surveillance.”

 

Joe Mullin, a senior policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, was also critical, saying, “There’s no way to do what the EU proposal seeks to do, other than for governments to read and scan user messages on a massive scale.”

 

“If it becomes law, the proposal would be a disaster for user privacy not just in the EU but throughout the world,” he added.

 

The European Union, along with several member states within it, have long made attempts to regulate speech on the internet, particularly hate speech and social media companies have been threatened with hefty fines for not removing illegal content in the past.

US Democrats use Ukraine biolab profits for campaign funding – Russia

 

Big Pharma, the Pentagon and leading Democrats are implicated in a secret research scheme

 

Democrats in the US have partnered with Big Pharma companies and friendly foundations led by George Soros and Bill Gates to set up biological research in Ukraine, using the project to generate additional funding for elections, the Russian military claimed on Wednesday in its latest briefing.

 

“It needs to be said that the ideologues of US military biological research in Ukraine are leaders of the Democratic Party,” said Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, the head of the Russian Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force.

 

The US government set up a way to fund the military bio-research directly from the federal budget, but also used government guarantees to raise funds from “non-governmental organizations controlled by the leadership of the Democratic Party,” Kirillov added.

 

As an example of such organizations, he showed a slide with the names of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the [Bill and Hillary] Clinton Foundation, George Soros’s Open Society and investment funds, the Rockefeller Foundation, EcoHealth Alliance, and Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca Partners.

Obama, Biden and Co are ideologists of military biological activities in Ukraine — Russia's Defence Ministry

 

“US specialists are working on testing new medicines in circumvention of international safety standards”

 

The Russian Ministry of Defence has presented new data on the activities of US biological laboratories in Ukraine. They reported that the ideologists of this activity are the leaders of the Democratic Party — former and current US Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden are involved in it.

 

“Through the executive authorities of the United States, a legislative framework was formed to finance military biological research directly from the federal budget. The funds of non-governmental organisations controlled by the leadership of the Democratic Party, including the investment foundations of the Clintons, Rockefellers, Soros, Biden, were attracted under state guarantees," the Ministry of Defence noted.

 

The scheme involved large pharmaceutical companies — Pfizer, Moderna, Merck & Co, as well as Gilead, a company affiliated with the US military.

 

“The US specialists are working on testing new medicines in circumvention of international safety standards. As a result, Western companies significantly reduce the costs of implementing research programmes and gain significant competitive advantages. The involvement of controlled non-governmental and biotechnological organisations, as well as an increase in their income, allows the leaders of the Democratic Party to receive additional financial revenues for election campaigns and hide their distribution," the department stressed.

 

Ukrainian state structures are also involved in military biological activities to conceal illegal activities, conduct field and clinical trials and provide the necessary biomaterial.

Who else implements military biological projects in Ukraine

 

It also turned out that military biological projects in Ukraine are implemented not only by the United States, but also by other NATO countries, such as Germany and Poland.

500,000 Germans Severely Injured by COVID-19 Vaccines, Survey by Top Hospital Shows

 

Researchers at Charité Berlin, Germany’s top hospital and one of Europe’s largest, announced a high rate of COVID-19 vaccine severe side effects lasting months or longer based on a survey of about 40,000 Germans.

 

Some highlights:

 

  1. Researchers estimate eight serious side effects per 1,000 vaccinated people, compared to 0.2 estimated by the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), Germany’s vaccine watchdog.

 

  1. This equates to an underreporting factor (URF) of 40x, which is almost exactly the same as the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) URF estimated by Steve Kirsch.

 

  1. The study’s lead researcher, Dr. Harald Matthes, estimated half a million Germans experienced serious side effects following vaccination. Survey findings indicate up to 80% of people with severe reactions recover within three to six months, but for 20% the symptoms persist.

 

This equates to 100,000 Germans currently suffering from long-term serious side effects. That means 0.16% of people vaccinated are still suffering serious side effects more than six months following vaccination.

 

  1. This is a major embarrassment for the PEI, which has maintained all along that it is doing a thorough tracking of vaccine adverse events and denounced as “anti-vaxxers” anyone who questioned the official numbers.

 

  1. Matthes called on the government to take people claiming vaccine injury seriously and to provide dedicated outpatient care to the vaccine-injured.

 

He noted most have been unable to find help in the current medical climate, which both strongly discourages talking about vaccine injury and is basically clueless about how to help the vaccine-injured.

 

Matthes also called for allowing doctors to discuss vaccine injury openly so that they can develop treatments without fear of being denounced as “anti-vaxxers.”

 

  1. Matthes noted a strong similarity between many of the symptoms of so-called “long COVID” and vaccine injury and believes treatments for long COVID may be helpful in addressing vaccine injury.

 

For more on this, see my presentation at PANDA’s open science meeting on a unified theory of susceptibility to COVID and injuries from COVID-19 vaccines.

 

  1. Germany set up outpatient clinics devoted to long COVID, and the vaccine-injured can turn to them for help. But there’s a problem: too many injuries.

 

From this article:

 

“The special outpatient clinic at the University Hospital in Marburg is a prominent example of this. The employees actually wanted to do research on Long Covid, but now they mainly care for patients with severe vaccination side effects.

 

“Between 200 and 400 e-mails from those affected are now received daily in the Marburg special outpatient clinic, and the waiting list includes around 800 patients.

 

“The problem here, however, is that demand far outstrips supply. ‘We need more outpatient clinics, they are far from enough,’ emphasizes Matthes in the MDR report. [Note that outpatient treatment in German is machine-translated into ‘ambulances’ in English.]”

 

  1. This story is huge. It is akin to researchers at Harvard Medical School coming forward and announcing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was undercounting the serious adverse event rate by a factor of 40, that vaccine injury is real, the vaccine-injured need to be taken seriously and treated, and that doctors need to be able to voice their opinions openly without fear of retribution so treatments for the vaccine-injured can be developed.

Police Are Purchasing Armored Tanks For Extremist Protests, Mudslides And Avalanches

 

During the pandemic, police departments across the country decided that now would be a great time to acquire armored tanks. And the reasons they use to justify those purchases are infuriating.

 

What started out as a ludicrous reason by police in Juneau, Alaska to justify purchasing a Lenco Armored Vehicle BearCat G3, has turned into a dubious campaign used by police across the country.

 

Eight days ago, the Juneau Empire reported how city officials thought that if the Juneau Police Department changed the paint color of their armored tank, the public would be more willing to accept it.

 

“It can’t look like what we see in these pictures here,” Assembly member Christine Woll said. “It’s a small thing, but I think it helps people understand what’s coming toward them in that moment,” Woll said.

Israel authorizes plans for 4,427 West Bank settlement homes

 

More than half of units get final approval for construction; interior minister hails retroactive legalization of two outposts as a ‘celebration for the settlement movement’

 

The Defense Ministry body that authorizes West Bank construction greenlit plans on Thursday for 4,427 new settlement homes.

 

All 25 plans on the docket were advanced by the Civil Administration’s High Planning Subcommittee. More than half of the homes received final approval for their construction.

 

While some of the projects are for settlements located close to the Green Line, other plans that were approved are located in settlements deep in the West Bank. These include a project for 56 homes in Negohot, which was advanced through an early planning stage known as deposit, and a project for 534 homes in Shevut Rachel, which was advanced to the final planning stage.

 

In addition to approving thousands of new homes, the plans retroactively legalized the Mitzpeh Dani and Oz V’gaon outposts. The former is a wildcat neighborhood of the Ma’aleh Michmash settlement in the heart of the West Bank, while the latter is a nature reserve and education center that was built following the kidnap and murder of Israeli teens Gil-ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Fraenkel in the summer of 2014.

 

In a celebratory tweet responding to news of Mitzpeh Dani’s approval, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked called it a “day of celebration for the settlement movement.”

 

In addition to settlement construction, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Thursday that the panel was also set to approve plans for some 1,000 Palestinian homes in the West Bank.

West ready to sacrifice rest of the world for global domination, Putin says

 

The Russian leader noted that a number of countries were already encountering the threats of hunger and if the sanctions against Russia continued, the EU could also encounter consequences which would be difficult to reverse

 

The culpability for the global consequences of sanctions against Russia, including possible hunger in a number of countries, rests with Western countries who for the sake of their domination are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on economic issues on Thursday.

 

He noted that a number of countries are already encountering the threats of hunger and if the sanctions against Russia continue, the EU may also encounter consequences which would be difficult to reverse. "The blame for this entirely and completely rests with the elites of the Western countries who for the sake of preserving their global domination are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world," the Russian leader stated.

 

In turn, Russia is confidently coping with external challenges, he added, thanks both to the responsible macroeconomic policy of recent years and systemic solutions on bolstering the economic sovereignty and technological and food security.

 

"Our production companies are gradually filling in domestic market niches freed up after unscrupulous partners left, including basic goods, industrial and service equipment, construction and agricultural machinery," the Russian leader noted.

Two top executives leaving Twitter after Musk deal

 

Two of Twitter’s top leaders announced Thursday they are leaving the company as it prepares for Elon Musk’s impending takeover.

 

Kayvon Beykpour, Twitter’s general manager of consumer product, will be replaced by Jay Sullivan, who has held that role on an interim basis.

 

“Interrupting my paternity leave to share some final @twitter-related news: I’m leaving the company after over 7 years,” Beykpour, the co-founder of Periscope, tweeted.

 

“The truth is that this isn’t how and when I imagined leaving Twitter, and this wasn’t my decision. Parag asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction,” he continued, referring to Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal.

 

Bruce Falck, the company’s general manager for revenue, also announced his departure Thursday.

 

“I wanted to take a moment to thank all the teams and partners I’ve been lucky enough to work with during the past 5 years,” Falck said, adding in a thread that he too was let go by Agrawal.

 

The departure of the two general managers comes after Elon Musk struck a deal last month to buy Twitter for $44 billion.

 

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has criticized some of Twitter’s top executives publicly since that deal was announced, mostly boosting allegations that the platform has moderated content unevenly and was biased against conservative voices.

French Volunteer, Outraged By Lies Of Western Media, Revealed Truth About War Crimes In Ukraine

 

A French volunteer Adrien Boquet told in an interview with French media about the war crimes committed by the Nazi militants of the Azov regimen in Ukraine. He described the real situation in the war-torn country which is hidden by the Western media.

 

Adrien Boquet is a former French serviceman, author of the book “Get Up and Walk Through Science”. He described his experience of his three-week humanitarian mission in Ukraine in an interview on Sud Radio France.

 

“I am fully responsible for what I say. There on the spot I witnessed war crimes. I’ve seen a lot of war crimes. I am talking only about those that I saw myself on the spot, and only those that were committed by the Ukrainian military. But not the Russian military… I do not claim that the Russians did nothing… But I confirm the war crimes committed by the Ukrainian military.” he said.

 

“Azov fighters are everywhere. With neo-Nazi stripes. It shocks me that Europe supplies weapons to neo-Nazis. The symbols of the SS are embroidered everywhere on their uniforms. They not hide their views. They advertise them. I worked with these people and treated them. They openly say that they are ready to destroy blacks and Jews,” he added.

 

The French military confirmed the war crimes of Ukrainian militants including against prisoners of war. He confirmed that the AFU militants are using civilians as a “human shield”, hiding ammunition in residential buildings at night, without even informing residents.

 

“I witnessed how the Ukrainian military shot through the knees of captured Russian soldiers and shot at the head of employees with a rank higher than officer.”

 

During the interview Boquet confirmed that the Bucha massacre was staged. He added that a lot of reporters from the US are working in Ukraine, filming the staged scenes.

 

“Butcha was staged. The bodies of the victims were moved from other places and deliberately placed in such a way as to produce a shocking shooting,” he stated.

 

Adrien Boquet emphasised that he was shocked by the fact that French TV channels invite as experts people who have not been to Ukraine and do not know anything about what is happening there. In conclusion, he assured that he would use his photos and videos taken during the humanitarian mission as evidence of Ukraine’s crimes.
