Top International Virologist Issues Dire Warning: “Massive, Massive Tsunami of Death Among Highly Vaccinated…is Imminent”

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/top-international-virologist-issues-dire-warning-massive-massive/

 

A world-leading virologist has issued a shocking warning to the American public that a “massive tsunami” of death will soon destroy the global COVID-19 vaccinated population.

 

As Slay News reported, the bone-chilling warning was issued by Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, a respected Belgian virologist, during an appearance on the KunstlerCast podcast, which is hosted by James Kunstler, on Friday.

 

Dr. Bossche is certified in both Virology and Microbiology and is the inventor of a patent application for universal vaccines. He has also authored over 30 publications and currently works as an independent research consultant.

 

Dr. Bossche, however, is most famous for warning about the potential dangers of mass vaccination programs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He warned that the programs could lead to “monster” COVID variants.

 

The virologist told Kunstler that shortly, a “massive tsunami” of death among the vaccinated would happen. This would start with far more cases of long COVID, which would replace the surge of cancers, and end with a “hyper-acute wave.” Continue…

Lauren Boebert Undergoes Emergency Surgery, is Diagnosed with Rare and Potentially-Life Threatening Disorder — GOP Majority in House at Risk

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/lauren-boebert-undergoes-emergency-surgery-is-diagnosed-rare/

 

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) underwent emergency surgery Tuesday night to remove a blood clot and was diagnosed with a rare and potentially life-threatening disorder, potentially imperiling the GOP’s House majority.

 

Her hospitalization comes as she vies for the GOP nomination in Colorado’s 4th District seat in the November general election. She is running to replace RINO congressman Ken Buck, who resigned from Congress last month.

 

Boebert announced in December she would drop Colorado’s Third Congressional District to run in the Fourth.

 

Boebert’s campaign issued a statement in a Facebook post revealing the 37-year-old GOP congresswoman was admitted to UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland after experiencing swelling in her upper left leg. The doctors subsequently diagnosed Boebert with a condition known as May-Thurner syndrome, which interferes with a person’s blood flow. Continue…

The United States Army and Air Force have issued calls for retirees to return to active duty.

 

The Army’s recruitment challenges have been mounting in recent years. Recruiting has been hampered by COVID-19 vaccine requirements as well as an increasingly woke military atmosphere where trans soldiers are give special privileges while Christian soldiers are persecuted, bases host drag shows, and leaders with a history of anti-white statements are hired.

CDC Issues Alert After Invasive and Deadly Meningococcal Disease Rates Soar in U.S.

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/cdc-issues-alert-after-invasive-deadly-meningococcal-disease/

 

An urgent health alert has been issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the United States witnesses a sharp increase in the incidence of invasive meningococcal disease.

 

According to CDC, meningococcal disease “refers to any illness caused by bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis. These illnesses are often severe, can be deadly, and include infections of the lining of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and bloodstream.”

 

Transmission occurs through close contact, prompting urgent calls for individuals with symptoms to seek care promptly to improve outcomes with timely antibiotic treatment.

 

With 422 cases recorded last year, this figure marks the highest annual case count since 2014, FOX News reported. Continue…

Indiana Governor Declares State Of Emergency Ahead of Solar Eclipse Next Week

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/indiana-governor-declares-state-emergency-ahead-solar-eclipse/

 

As the Hoosier state braces for a memorable celestial event, Governor Eric Holcomb has taken a proactive step by declaring a statewide disaster emergency in anticipation of the total solar eclipse set to occur on April 8th, 2024.

 

This measure is designed to prepare Indiana for the vast number of visitors expected to flock to the state to witness the rare occurrence.

 

The declaration, effective Wednesday, allows Indiana to utilize resources and aid from other states through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).

 

This compact is a national mutual aid system which Indiana, along with all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and various American territories, have ratified.

 

Gov. Holcomb signed the order to address anticipated needs due to the significant influx of tourists. The EMAC members will share equipment and communications systems to help ensure safety during the eclipse-related surge in tourism, the Indiana Capital Chronicle. Continue…

Bill Gates Sponsoring Lessons in How to Cleanse Math of ‘White Supremacy’

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/bill-gates-sponsoring-lessons-how-cleanse-math-white/

 

Americans can thank Bill Gates and his foundation for school lessons that teach that there is “white supremacy” in mathematics lessons across the country, that those create “systemic barriers to equity for black, Latinx and multilingual students,” and that the solution is, in fact, “antiracist math education.”

 

And for that, teachers must examine “the ways in which they perpetuate white supremacy culture in their own classrooms.”

 

A report from the Washington Examiner notes the lessons come from a plan called “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction,” which is promoted online. Continue…

After the End of His Constitutional Mandate, Ukraine’s Zelensky Finally Signs Into Law the Bill Lowering Military Mobilization Age From 27 to 25 Years-Old

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/after-end-his-constitutional-mandate-ukraines-zelensky-finally/

 

And so it happened that the super threat to democracy, mega-villain to all western Globalists, Russian President Vladimir Putin got reelected with 80% of the vote in an election that those same Globalists branded to be ‘oh-so-bad’.

 

Meanwhile the absolute champion for democracy, the immaculate resistance leader, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, has outrun his constitutional mandate, and after no Presidential elections were held on March 31st, he became a fundamentally illegitimate leader.

 

And mind you – the elections were not cancelled because of any Putin infiltrations fears. It was on account of Zelensky’s nemesis, former Ukrainian Supreme Commander General Valery Zaluzhny – who was polling much higher than the leader he called ‘Frodo’.

 

Now that Oleksandr Syrsky has been named the new top Ukrainian General, and that Zaluzhny has been appointed ambassador (exiled?) to the UK, Zelensky is free to continue his unlawfully extended mandate and try to avoid complete defeat against overpowering Russian forces. Continue…

Ship Company Owners Deny Fault in Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse in Latest Filing in Federal Court

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/dali-owners-deny-fault-baltimore-key-bridge-collapse/

 

The owner of the Dali ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last week has filed a court filing in U.S. Federal Court, claiming no responsibility for the Key bridge’s collapse.

 

In a court petition, Dali’s owner, Grace Ocean Private Limited, “denied any fault or neglect of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.”

 

Grace Ocean Private Limited and Dali’s ship manager, Synergy Marine Pte Ltd, requested in the petition to be exonerated from all liability for the Key bridge’s collapse.

 

A portion of the filing obtained by Independent states, “The [bridge collapse] was not due to any fault, neglect, or want of care on the part of [ship owner & operator], the Vessel, or any persons or entities for whose acts [ship owner & operator] may be responsible.”

 

The filing also requests the court to cap any liability at $43.6 million. Continue…

TSMC Shutters Some Chipmaking Plants As Quake Rocks Island Nation

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the leading contract chipmaker for Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp., shuttered some of its chipmaking capacity and evacuated plants after the biggest earthquake in 25 years rocked the island nation, just east of mainland China.

 

Taiwan plays a significant role in manufacturing advanced chips for artificial intelligence, smartphones, computers, and electric vehicles. The country is estimated to produce 80% to 90% of the highest-end chips.

 

As the news of a 7.4-magnitude quake off Taiwan's east coast disrupts chipmaking, the implications for the global tech supply chain, including potential future disruptions like a war with China, are causing significant concern among Wall Street analysts. Continue…

Rickards: Ukraine's Starting To Get Dangerous

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/rickards-ukraines-starting-get-dangerous

 

A lot of people seem to have forgotten about the war in Ukraine. That’s a mistake.

 

Russia is slowly but steadily defeating Ukraine, which is becoming increasingly obvious to everyone except the most anti-Russian diehards.

 

That’s leading to desperation in elite Western circles determined to stop Russia one way or the other. In their minds, they simply can’t let Putin win. They think that if Putin wins in Ukraine, he’ll next move on to the Baltic states, Poland and elsewhere.

 

You know the West is getting desperate based on recent threats by France’s Emmanuel Macron to send troops to Ukraine.

 

The vice president of the Russia Duma, Pyotr Tolstoy (descendant of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy), warned that French troops would be priority targets for Russian forces if they entered Ukraine.

 

Even though France would send troops independent of NATO, that puts us on a very dangerous path that ultimately leads to direct conflict between NATO and Russia. And that path ends in nuclear war ultimately.

 

Tolstoy added that it would take “just two minutes to nuke Paris.” It’s not hard to envision how quickly things could escalate if France decided to send troops to Ukraine. Continue…

These Are The Countries With The Lowest Corporate Tax Rates

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/these-are-countries-lowest-corporate-tax-rates

 

The lowest corporate tax rates are known to be found in smaller countries to attract investment from multinational corporations and foreign firms.

 

In fact, multinationals sheltered $1 trillion in profits in tax havens in 2022 alone. Many of these countries have corporate taxation rates of 0%, while others have rates falling around 5%. By comparison, the global average corporate tax rate stands at 23.5%.

 

The above graphic, from Pranav Gavali, via Visual Capitalist, shows where corporate taxation rates are the lowest as of 2023.

 

Ranked: The Top 10 Lowest Corporate Taxation Rates

Below, we rank the countries with the lowest taxation rates for corporations, based on data from the Tax Foundation. Countries with tax rates of 0% are not included:

 

Perhaps as no surprise, Barbados ranks top on the list, a tax haven where American corporations have transferred profits that exceed the country’s entire GDP.

 

Like the U.S., many big Canadian companies—from grocery giant Loblaws to Petro-Canada—shelter profits in the country thanks to a tax treaty signed in 1980. Overall, the Tax Justice Network estimates that $62 million in profits are shifted into the country across global multinational companies annually.

 

With the lowest rate in the Middle East, UAE ranks fourth on the list. For the first time ever in 2023, the country increased its corporate tax rate from 0% to 9% to better align with the international push in raising corporate tax rates. This also allows the country to diversify revenues, which are heavily concentrated in the energy sector.

 

Compared to 1980, tax rates have fallen across the board. We can see that in 1980, Hong Kong had the lowest rate, which stood at 17% to encourage business investment.

 

Overall, 91% of countries across 225 jurisdictions have corporate tax rates under 30% today.

Brussels Begins To Mobilise Its Mass Censorship Regime For Upcoming EU Elections

Will It Go Global? The goal of the DSA is to combat — i.e., suppress — mis- and disinformation online, not just in Europe but potentially across the world and is part of a broader trend of Western governments actively pushing to censor information on the Internet as they gradually lose control over the narrative.

Every NATO Country Already Has Troops In Ukraine, Estonia Says

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/every-nato-country-already-has-troops-ukraine-estonia-says

 

Estonia has long been no friend of Russia, and a leading anti-Moscow hawkish voice within the Baltics, and that's why a fresh interview by Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur in European media is raising eyebrows as he issued some very revealing statements.

 

The defense chief said in the interview with the Austrian newspaper Die Presse that all NATO countries already have NATO personnel stationed in Ukraine, but that they aren't directly engaged in hostilities as they are there in advisory roles. He was responding to recent provocative statements by France's Macron.

 

"The reality is that every NATO member country already has military personnel in Ukraine, such as military attaches or people who travel to Ukraine from time to time," the Estonian defense chief said. "What [French] President [Emmanuel] Macron said mainly related to personnel training," he added, according to a translation in Russian media. Continue…

Leaked Files From Transgender Association 'Shocking' And 'Horrific' Admission, Critics Say

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/leaked-files-transgender-association-shocking-and-horrific-admission-critics-say

 

A leaked video and documents exposing the inner workings of the organization responsible for setting the so-called “standards of care” for gender transition treatments and surgeries on children is a “shocking” and “horrific” admission, critics say.

 

The leaked files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health—better known as WPATH—reveal “widespread medical malpractice on children and vulnerable adults,” according to a 241-page report disclosing emails, documents, and an 82-minute video.

 

Environmental Progress, a nonprofit organization led by founder and president Michael Shellenberger that obtained the files, released them to the public in an exposé on March 4.

 

“The WPATH Files show that what is called ‘gender medicine’ is neither science nor medicine,” Mr. Shellenberger said in a statement. “The experiments are not randomized, double-blind, or controlled. It’s not medicine since the first rule is to do no harm. And that requires informed consent.”

 

The files are “a shocking admission” by WPATH doctors and other medical practitioners privately acknowledging they’re not getting proper informed consent from parents and children before proceeding with gender transition treatments and surgeries, prominent civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon told The Epoch Times.

 

Ms. Dhillon, the founder and CEO of the Center for American Liberty, which is representing several women who’ve allegedly suffered harm and irreversible damage as a result of WPATH’s recommendations of transgender surgery for gender dysphoric children and young adults, called the exposé “an important act of journalism.”

 

“These leaked files show that behind closed doors, WPATH members are admitting to the fact that they’re not getting informed consent for hormonal and surgical interventions from young patients, which is the very premise of our litigation for young women who’ve been mutilated by these doctors when they were children,” she said.

 

The Center for American Liberty has taken on three pro-bono cases representing detransitioners Chole Cole, Layla Jane, and Luka Hein, who are suing Kaiser Permanente and doctors who performed double mastectomies on these young women.

China Is The World Leader In Battery Recycling

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/china-world-leader-battery-recycling

 

As many countries around the world scramble towards a green transition, a new era of electric cars is being ushered in and with it comes the need for batteries.

 

While these batteries - also needed for home, industrial and grid energy storage - are being newly manufactured, Statista's Anna Fleck reports that the market for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries is growing too, especially since it “conserves the critical minerals and other valuable materials that are used in batteries and is a more sustainable approach than disposal”, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency writes.

 

Data from ACS Energy Lett cited in an article by Maria Virginia Olano on Canary Media shows how China was the leading country for this type of battery recycling in 2021, with 188,000 tons of existing and planned lithium-ion battery recycling capacity per year. It was followed by Germany and the United States, albeit with both countries lagging some way behind. Continue…

Housing affordability in Canada reaches all time low: RBC report

 

https://tnc.news/2024/04/03/housing-affordability-canada-low/

 

Housing affordability worsened in every single market tracked, with some reaching the worst levels of all time, a report from one of Canada’s top banks finds.

 

The revelation from RBC’s latest analysis on housing affordability was that the median Canadian household now has to spend an unprecedented 63.5% of its income to afford the mortgage.

 

A report from Statistics Canada last Wednesday marked decline in satisfaction and hopefulness among young Canadians, with approximately a third of youth reconsidering home purchases or moving to a new rental in 2022, thanks to daunting financial pressures.

 

In Vancouver, a city the report says is “in full-blown crisis,” an average household has to spend 106.3% of its income to cover home ownership costs.

 

Other cities, such as Victoria and Toronto, saw similar deterioration, with households having to allot 80.2% and 84.8% of their incomes towards mortgages, respectively.

 

Housing affordability in Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax is at or near all-time worst levels. Ottawa’s aggregate measure reached an all-time high of 49.9%. Montreal also reached a record-high needed income for housing costs, at 53.3%. Halifax, whose long-run average aggregate measure was 31.9%, jumped to 45.3% of income required to spend on housing costs.

 

The 63.5% of median income needed to be spent towards owning a home across Canada rose from 61.8% in the third quarter. RBC’s report, authored by Robert Hogue, claimed that high interest rates helped propel this increase, offsetting the nationwide small price relief. Continue…

Elites pen open letter calling for government funding so activists can “confront hate”

 

https://tnc.news/2024/04/03/elites-pen-letter-calling-government-funding/

 

Canadian elites are calling on the political leaders to increase funding to academic and civil society groups to “confront hate” and bridge the divide between Canadians.

 

In an open letter published Tuesday in the Globe and Mail, the signatories call their message a “clarion call for our collective future.” The letter advocates for further funding and partnerships with academic and civil society to “research the causes, scale and impact of issue-driven tensions and conflict in Canada.”

 

The letter calls on political leaders to “address the rise of incivility, public aggression, and overt hatred undermining the peace and security of Canadian life.”

 

Among the over 50 signatories of the letter are former Toronto mayor John Tory; Bernie Farber, the former chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network; former Quebec premier Jean Charest; and former federal finance minister Bill Morneau.

 

“Canadians appear increasingly unwilling, unable or ill-equipped to talk to or live peaceably alongside those with divergent views of complex and divisive issues, including, as in the current instance, those with significant geopolitical overtones and implications,” the letter says. Continue…

Several arrested after Toronto pro-Palestinian protest goes off the rails

 

https://tnc.news/2024/04/03/several-arrested-toronto-pro-palestinian-protest/

 

Pro-Palestinian protesters rocked Toronto’s streets over the weekend as demonstrators made inflammatory statements and clashed with police.

 

Toronto police were prompted to arrest several protesters after the demonstration became unruly.

 

This past weekend, Toronto’s Palestinian Youth Movement rallied hundreds of protesters in the city’s downtown core to acknowledge “Land Day.” The Palestinian political day of observance marks the 48th anniversary of the Israeli government’s decision to confiscate a section of land for state purposes; a minority of which was Arab-owned.

 

At the protest, demonstrators could be heard yelling pro-Palestinian slogans like “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a slogan that Jewish organizations condemn as extreme and antisemitic as it refers to the erasure of the nation of Israel.

 

Footage from the protest shows the notorious Palestinian protest organizer Naved Awan calling for his fellow demonstrators to hold those accountable for failing to support the Palestinian cause, even at synagogues.

 

Deputy Conservative Party of Canada leader Melissa Lantsman denounced the rhetoric while putting out a wake up call for Canadians. Continue…

Doug Ford says it’s the carbon tax or Trudeau that will have to go

 

https://tnc.news/2024/04/03/ford-carbon-tax-or-trudeau-will-go/

 

If Justin Trudeau doesn’t get rid of the carbon tax, Canadians will get rid of him. That was the message from Ontario Premier Doug Ford on the heels of a hike to the beleaguered tax.

 

Ford had harsh words for Trudeau at a press conference Tuesday, one day after the Liberals raised the carbon tax by 23%, “against the urging of premiers of every political stripe,” costing Canadians 17.06 cents more per litre of gas.

 

“This carbon tax has to go, or in a year and a half, the prime minister’s going. It’s as simple as that. He will be going, I’ll guarantee you,” Ford said. “He will not be there if he doesn’t start looking after the people and the businesses of Ontario.”

 

At his own press conference Monday, Trudeau defended his carbon tax hike. He said the carbon tax may be rising, but so is the rebate. Ford said that doesn’t cut it.

 

“This isn’t the first time they’ve raised the carbon tax, but it couldn’t come at a worse time,” Ford said. “At a time when the cost of living has never been higher.” Continue…

How Canada’s governments procure goods and services is inefficient, report finds

 

https://tnc.news/2024/04/03/canadas-governments-procurement-inefficient/

 

How governments across Canada procure goods and services is not serving the interests of Canadians and is falling behind other countries in terms of efficiency.

 

These were the conclusions made by a new report authored by the Council of Canadian Innovators, a non-profit led by more than 150 CEOs of Canada’s biggest companies. The report, Buying Ideas: Procuring Public Sector Innovation in Canada, was released on Wednesday.

 

Research revealed that procurement, the process of sourcing, acquiring, and paying for goods and services, accounted for 14.6% of Canada’s GDP in 2021, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars.

 

“The fact is that the current culture of government procurement — both federally and provincially — is not serving the Canadian economy, and it is not serving the government’s own purposes,” wrote analysts.

 

The failure of government procurement was amplified in technology services, revealed the report. Approximately one-third of 1,480 “mission-critical” government digital applications—critical to Canadians’ health, safety, security, and economic well-being—are considered to be in “poor health,” according to a recent Auditor General report.

 

On top of that, the Auditor General found that nearly two-thirds of applications used by departments and agencies “were reported as being in poor health and in critical need of modernization.” The Auditor General noted it was a conservative estimate given that departments and agencies were not providing accurate, timely, or complete information about the health of their systems.

 

The Auditor General’s report mentioned high-profile procurement scandals like the Phoenix payroll system and military procurement contracts. However, the report made no mention of ArriveCan — the Liberals’ most recent large procurement scandal that the RCMP is currently investigating. Continue…

This year marks the 107th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, during which 3,598 Canadians were killed and another 7,000 were wounded. April 9, 1917, is regarded as the bloodiest day in Canadian military history.

 

According to a Wednesday afternoon press release from Veterans Affairs Canada, "a delegation will follow in the footsteps of Frederick Hardy, who was sentenced to hard labour in 1916 for charges relating to his sexuality."

 

Frederick was tried by a court martial for “an act of gross indecency with another male person.”

 

This year marks the 107th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, where 3598 Canadians were killed and another 7000 were wounded. April 9, 1917, is regarded as the bloodiest day in Canadian military history.

 

In 1922, in honour of the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers, the French government ceded Vimy Ridge and the land surrounding it to Canada forever.

 

Hardy was released from his prison sentence after eight months to serve in the Canadian Corps after the losses as Vimy.

 

The delegation will visit Hill 70 Memorial, where Frederick Hardy died on April 15, 1917. According to a Veterans Affairs itinerary for the trip, "stories of 2SLGBTQI+ soldiers who served in the First World War will be shared by the delegation."

 

The LBQTQAI+ mission will be comprised of Rainbow Veterans of Canada and the LGBT Purge and will be joined by Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, once in Belgium.
