How The Greens Brought War to Ukraine.
"It’s hard to keep from laughing at the leaders who created this mess to curry favor, votes and money from the Greens. Take, for example, German chancellor Olaf Scholz whose contribution to the fight was halting the certification of the Nord Stream 2 Baltic gas pipeline. I’d put my money on the halt being temporary. Germany already gets half its gas from Russia. Germans are facing record energy prices and the government is tapping its treasury to ease consumer pressure.Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president could not restrain himself. “Welcome to the new world where Europeans will soon have to pay 2,000 euros per thousand cubic meters.”...

Follow the Data, They Said, and Then Hid It
Follow the Data, They Said, and Then Hid It
"...We were all invited to follow the data, follow the science, and observe as scientists became our new overlords, instructing us how to feel, think, and behave in order to “flatten the curve,” “drive down cases,” “preserve capacity,” “stay safe,” and otherwise deploy all the powers of human will to respond to and manipulate disease outcomes.
We could watch it all in real time.
We could watch it all in real time.
How beautiful were the waves, the curves, the bar charts, the sheer power of the technology.
...Then one day, writing at the New York Times, reporter Apoorva Mandavilli revealed the following:
For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public…. Two full years into the pandemic, the agency leading the country’s response to the public health emergency has published only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected, several people familiar with the data said...
...Dr. Robert Malone makes an interesting point. If a scientist at a university or a lab is found to have deliberately buried relevant data because they contradict a preset conclusion, the results are professional ruin....Read all.

Facing Financial Peril and a Pending Senate Rebuke, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Revokes Emergency War Measures Act - The Last Refuge
"...As a result of multiple issues of backlash with severe consequence, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet are trying to save face, and yet walk away from the Emergency War Measures Act by revoking it before they faced the humiliation of a public defeat in the Canadian Senate. WATCH:
After his prepared remarks about his reversal in position, Trudeau was softly questioned about internal documents discovered by the Canadian Senate that point toward Trudeau’s cabinet discussing the political benefits they would gain by invoking the Emergency Act. The prime minister dodged the question twice, instead saying a parliamentary investigation will review why the Emergency Act was needed...Read all.

DHS eyes more welfare for legal immigrants as Supreme Court hears challenge - Washington Times:
The Biden administration has moved to make it more attractive for immigrants to sign up for welfare, laying down a marker just days before the Supreme Court is slated to take up the issue in a legal challenge seeking to restore stricter Trump-era rules.
The Homeland Security Department released a proposal to raise the bar for becoming a “public charge.” Joining programs such as Medicaid won’t be counted against most immigrants, it said.

- What the murder of Canadian democracy means to the rest of the world.
I also wish to warn what happens historically at this moment in the decline of a formerly democratic nation, and what the murder of Canadian democracy — at least for now — means to the rest of the world.
Parliamentarians in Canada do not seem to understand that now their former colleague, Justin Trudeau, can arrest not just truckers, whose lawful protest has been declared illegal, but also the Parliamentarians themselves.

Flashback: In 2013, Trudeau Chose Communist China As Country He Most Admired Besides Canada | The Daily Wire:
When Trudeau was asked during a “Ladies’ Night” Liberal fundraiser what country he most admired besides Canada, he answered, “There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime and say, ‘We need to go green, we want to start investing in solar.’”

...Therein lies the fundamental tension within the climate movement.
- Exaggerating and impractical, the climate movement undermines its cause and everyone suffers, says an environmental writer
To acknowledge progress ...—would require abandoning pseudo-scientific claims that hard biophysical boundaries loom, and jettisoning utopian fantasies of global government and a world powered entirely by renewable energy.
Moreover, it would mean giving up self-flattering notions that the future of humanity hangs on the outcome of an epic struggle between corporations and environmentalists.
...More than a decade after COP15, poor nations are still waiting for the modest pledges of technology transfer and climate-adaptation aid made at Copenhagen.
...More than a decade after COP15, poor nations are still waiting for the modest pledges of technology transfer and climate-adaptation aid made at Copenhagen.
Meanwhile, Western nations and development institutions, egged on by the climate movement, will proceed with efforts to choke off virtually all finance for fossil-fuel-based infrastructure in poor countries.
It’s easy pickings for Western environmentalists, UN functionaries and political leaders alike, and there is no one capable of stopping them.

"In a previous article, I wrote about some alarming statistics showing increases in cardiovascular events among athletes, including heart attacks, strokes, and sudden deaths in 2021.
The likely conclusions derived from this data point to vaccine-induced injury as the primary cause, which has ultimately been a consequence of the mass-vaccination campaigns employed on a global scale last year.
In a transparent ploy to manipulate public attention away from the obvious 'elephant in the room', mainstream journalists have recently been busy churning out headlines and a slew of articles to explain away these disturbing trends.
In a piece by The Mail Online, "leading sports cardiologist" Professor Sanjay Sharma affirms that the sudden onset of cardiovascular injury in two high-profile footballers last year "had nothing to do with Covid or the vaccine." How Sharma can be sure of this conclusion escapes me, because he wasn't pressed to justify it with any evidence whatsoever. In fact, it is purely unfounded speculation on his part...Read all.

A BLM Bail Fund Is Freeing Heinous Criminals in Kentucky. Now, the GOP Has a Plan To Stop It.:
Thanks to support from some of the biggest names in national Democratic politics, the Louisville Community Bail Fund—which is tied to the city's Black Lives Matter chapter—has raised millions of dollars since its inception in 2019 to secure the release of local arrestees. But the group is hardly focused on low-level offenders. Since the summer of 2020, the fund has bailed out dozens of repeat criminals accused of reprehensible crimes.
