“Society is happy to toe the line of tyranny because they actually believe that they might gain permission from their masters to simply live. These are the fools among us, and they make up the largest part of society, and this does not bode well for our future.” -Gary Barnett

Makow- We neither have the intelligence to understand our predicament nor the courage to confront it. The covid hoax is the culmination of a centuries-old conspiracy by Cabalist Jews to destroy Christian Western Civilization. Wars, depressions, homosexuality, feminism, migration, sexual liberation, pornography, miscegenation, dumbed-down education etc. were all designed to undermine and sacrifice Western society to Communism.
Thanks to the Cabalist-owned MSM, we believe this ongoing satanist assault represents “progress” rather than suicide. Essentially, we have been inducted into a satanic cult. Satanic cults control and exploit their members by making them sick (i.e. vaccinations) or think they’re sick.

The whole Western political, business and cultural establishment are traitors, second-raters who advanced their careers by selling their souls to the devil. The central bankers handpicked these opportunists to execute their agenda, i.e. enslave and dispossess humanity. Hence, “You will own nothing but you’ll be happy.” (Certainly this doesn’t apply to Bill Gates & his banker buddies.) 
What H.W. Bush said to Sarah McClendon in 1992, “If the American people ever find out what we have done, they will chase us down the street and lynch us,” is quite literally true. Luckily, most Americans are too gullible to see the truth.
Below, Gary Barnett comments on the peoples’ passivity in the face of lockdowns. 
They think they are temporary until vaccines take effect. They are not listening to the World Economic Forum which states plainly that the covidhoax is designed to reorganize society, i.e. enslave humanity. They state explicitly there will be no return to normal:

In COVID-19: The Great Reset, Klaus Schwab states: “Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short response is: never. Nothing will ever return to the “broken” sense of normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory.”  …

—-“If you force yourself to be the same as everyone else. It causes neuroses, psychoses, and paranoia. It’s a distortion of nature, it goes against God’s laws, for in all the world’s woods and forests he did not create a single leaf the same as another.”   —Paulo Coelho

The People Are Consumed by Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Ignorance, and Indifference

As I watch this takeover of the people of the world, and understand the insanity of it all, I have to pause in order to regain composure, and to continually guard against consorting with a mass population that seems to be a type of pod people straight out of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”

One need look no further than the sea of masks to understand this phenomenon, as all expression is hidden, and all look the same. This is a modern twilight zone, but it is one where the people not only look the same, they are the same.

We are facing what some might refer to as Armageddon, and they are not far wrong. This is most certainly a battle of good against evil, and at this point, evil has the upper hand. Every day, many out there continue to claim that people are beginning to fight back, and that the tide will be turned. 
In my opinion, this is simply not true, and in fact, any major resistance still appears to be mostly absent from view. The reasons for this mistake in judgment are not due to what people actually say or believe, but in how they act in concert. 
Yes, many know that these draconian measures are not necessary, but the bulk of society is happy to toe the line of tyranny because they actually believe that they might gain permission from their masters to simply live. These are the fools among us, and they make up the largest part of society, and this does not bode well for our future.
Living in constant fear, fear that is baseless and ridiculous, can only destroy the minds of those that are little more than frightened sheep at this point. 
Once the state narrative is accepted, once the masses turn to total obedience in order to accommodate the ruling class in exchange for false promises, all is lost. 
Those of us willing to risk all for freedom, to stand up to these totalitarian monsters, and to refuse to bow down to any illegitimate authority, face censorship, police brutality, incarceration, and at some point even possible death. Large numbers of true dissenters could crush this state assault, but those numbers do not exist in this current environment.

The state’s mandates, pronouncements, threats, & incessant executive orders are going on as scheduled, and have become relentless in nature, and more restrictive every day. This could not be happening if there were any legitimate pushback from this pathetic population. 
Although some of us continue to fight against this dictatorial plot, it is not enough to stop or even slow down the agenda-driven invasion that has already destroyed nearly all of our freedom. The continued propaganda is sinking into the brainless segment of this population which is ever growing in numbers. 
By wearing these deadly oxygen stealing masks, by testing with a PCR that is being used to deposit foreign elements in the brain, by taking this RNA/DNA, gene altering concoction falsely called a ‘vaccine,’ the ability to think is systematically being destroyed due to the insertion and injection of toxic pathogens. The more that fall into line and do everything they are instructed to do, the less chance there will be for any remedy to this global reset and takeover of the minds and bodies of the American people.
With time, and people complying with all state orders, it will eventually become impossible to change this course we are on because part of this conspiracy is based upon implanting toxins in the body, controllable nanoparticles in the brain, bioweapon ‘viruses,’ and any number of other poisons. 

These injected operating systems are meant to allow control of large populations, and this technology already exists, much of which is still unknown to the average citizen, and most others as well. In addition to all these things, many millions could die from the very adverse effects possible from these invasive pathogens that could cause great harm for months and years to come, virtually crippling the entire population and future generations as well.
Under these circumstances, population control through democide, which has already begun, will become more evident in the not too distant future, and all will be blamed on one or another fake ‘virus’ that will be said to have mutated, giving rise to continuous injections of poison. Eugenics never had it so easy, as people are lining up to die.
Hysteria has set in, children are being destroyed mentally and physically, and mass depression is now common. With this comes despair, suicide, aggression, and of course psychosis. This is certainly a “new normal,” but it is the state’s creation of a new normal so that the ruling class can take all and control all.
There is no real danger, there is no ‘virus,’ there is no pandemic, but there is extreme sickness and death due to all the state’s mandates that generate mass fear, and decimate our immune systems. 

The government’s fascist partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry, the military industrial complex, the tax-free foundations, the technology giants, and their control over all monetary policy, have allowed these few evil tyrants the ability to capture and terrorize over 300 million people in this country, and nearly 8 billion around the world. 
If this sounds as ludicrous to you as it does to me, then maybe instead of voluntarily being an obedient slave, you will have an awakening, and finally decide to protect yourself and your family from this marauding scourge called government.
Things will never change unless you change them!

I recently discovered this chiropractor on YouTube, Dr. Livingood. Yes, that’s his real name! Here he presents an unbiased, rational view of the vaccines and what do about its effects. There are many, as you know, and a growing number of sufferers and deaths.

I am particularly interested in the PCR test. I had three of them a few months ago and I believe I am suffering from an acceleration of its effects. (no vaccines) It’s been said by one, Dr. Judy Miscovits and Gene DeCode that the test contains the vaccine (so called, of course) So I am doing everything I possibly can to run the poison out of my system. It’s been quite debilitating.

I’m working on gathering the discipline to do a three day water fast which he recommends – along with bone broth and some vegetable juice. I’m also trying MMS which has been falsely labeled as dangerous because it works so well and safely for years, originally a very successful cure for malaria and now has many success stories about other ailments.

YouTube has been so suppressive that I couldn’t find any positive videos on MMS as I used to years ago. You can buy it on Amazon but don’t be discouraged that it only says it’s for water purification. Legally, they cannot say you can drink it. Someday we will regain our First Amendment and all the others in our brilliant Constitution.

Let me emphasize that MMS does not cure. It simply allows the body to cure itself – the only true way to heal and as Hippocrates says: “Let food be my medicine and medicine be thy food”. I concentrate heavily on my plant-based diet. And I drink lots of water!

I highly recommend this seller of MMS and many other health products Reiki Ranch Store – Alternative Health I mistakenly called at 6 AM (9 where I live) He mentioned the time but graciously answered my questions with no complaints. The next day I called at a decent hour with another question and spoke to his sweet wife; she talked to me for a long while. This is literally a mom and pop shop. I wanted to call back just to talk to them. Aren’t we starving for this kind of communication? Along with hugs?

I’m also waiting to receive Nano Soma which is purported to rid the body of the vaccines. We’ll see. If you’re interested, I’ll let you know. They’re on back order so I don’t know when I will get it. Here’s the video on it and link to buy it:

There is always an answer to any problem or disaster. I keep searching with my mind and heart bent on high survival, not just food, water and shelter. It may seem at this moment in time that this is all we can have but we need to keep our eyes on the highest mountain, the one where you place your firm decision to be super happy, healthy and free for yourself, your friends and family and the world.

Personally, I imagine Trump’s smiling face back in the White House, all the criminals arrested and the world flourishing. Maybe you call it a pipe dream but that phrase is often a misnomer for true creativity. And it sure calms me down, gives me a future.

It’s time folks, it really is. Don’t waste the limited time we have left to rid this planet of the poisons of the cabal and all their minions. The vaccines are quite possibly the worst threat to our lives and the entire planet. But even more important is to keep your mindset above water. The only things to come into being are those you decide will be so. That’s the jumping off point.

As many have said, we are powerful spiritual beings. We just need to know that we are and BE THAT. Take advantage of some quiet, still moments and discover who and what you are and what you’re made of – tough stuff.

Love and strength to all the true patriots in this world.

Is the USA going to collapse? Nobody can say. There are a few things that could cause a collapse, but who knows if any of them will?

What we can be sure of, though, is that if a crisis comes it won’t affect the whole country equally.

If one of the doomsday scenarios preppers fear happens, even if it’s a national event the effects will hit some places sooner, and harder, than others.

Some states will collapse almost immediately, and things there could get very bad, very quickly. Other states will hold up better, and even if they do completely collapse the process will be slower, giving people time to prepare, adapt and survive.

If you want to maximize your chances of making it through a crisis you need to know what states to avoid. Here are the top five:

California

This one probably won’t surprise anyone. California is famously vulnerable to natural disasters – earthquakes and wildfires are common, and huge parts of the state are vulnerable to tsunamis as well – but that’s only half the problem. California has some other massive vulnerabilities, too.

For a start, it’s densely populated. Compared to the likes of New Jersey or Rhode Island it isn’t that densely populated – it ranks 17th in the nation – but a combination of relatively high density and very high population makes it very vulnerable.

California’s big cities are incredibly reliant on supplies from outside. San Diego and Los Angeles bring in up to 90% of their water from Northern California; if the infrastructure that carries that water breaks down (and it isn’t in any better shape than the rest of our infrastructure) the cities will collapse into chaos within days.

San Francisco is a lot smaller and has a cooler, wetter climate, but it isn’t in the clear either. Over 85% of the Bay Area’s water comes from the Hetch Hetchy Valley in the Yosemite National Park, 150 miles to the east, and if that stops flowing San Francisco will be just as screwed as the big cities.

California isn’t helped by the fact it’s such an obvious target for attackers.

Silicon Valley and the San Francisco area is the center of the global tech industry; an EMP attack on California is a quick and easy way to devastate the US economy – but it would also cause a rapid and massive collapse as the bankrupt state’s crumbling infrastructure simply broke under the impact.

Florida

Florida’s politics might be different to California’s, but unfortunately, its vulnerability to collapse is similar.

It also suffers a lot of natural disasters – hurricanes, this time – and it’s also densely populated. In fact, Florida’s people are packed in a lot more densely than California’s, although that’s balanced by the fact there aren’t as many of them.

Like California, Florida is highly urbanized – about 92% of Floridians live in an urban area. That makes them very dependent on outside supplies that probably won’t come in a crisis, and as the old saying goes, civilization is never more than three missed meals from anarchy.

If disaster hits, life in Florida is going to get ugly in a hurry.

Alaska

You’re probably wondering what Alaska is doing on the list. After all, it’s about as unlike highly urbanized California as you can get.

Alaskans are self-sufficient, many of them hunt and they don’t rely on vulnerable infrastructure for such basic necessities as water.

Unfortunately, Alaska does rely on imports of some other necessities, with gasoline and heating oil being the most important. It also buys in most of its processed food and almost all its manufactured goods.

And, while Alaskans can easily supplement their diet by hunting and fishing, farming is another story.

A harsh climate and short growing season mean the state is nowhere near self-sufficient in grains, fruit and vegetables, and true self-sufficiency is pretty hard to achieve.

Alaska might not be torn apart by urban riots in the first days of a crisis, but it will still collapse within weeks as food stocks run down and gas disappears.

Hawaii

All the things that count against Alaska also count against Hawaii, and there are a couple of other issues, too.

While Hawaii has more agriculture than Alaska, the biggest crops are sugarcane and pineapples – not exactly staple foods. The climate means it’s a bit more feasible to grow your own food there, but on the downside, land is scarce and expensive.

Hawaii is also heavily urbanized, with almost 92% of the population living in cities. Like California or Florida, as soon as supplies from out of state stop arriving those cities will collapse fast and hard.

There’s another serious problem with Hawaii, too – it’s an island chain in the middle of the Pacific. At least if you’re in Alaska when the collapse comes you can get to Canada. If you’re in Hawaii, plan on being there for a long, long time.

New York

If the power goes off and supplies of food and water stop coming, the Big Apple will rot in a hurry.

The state of New York contains the USA’s most populous city, over eight million people with basically no ability to be self-sufficient.

While New York does have some agriculture, including a lot of basic foods – the state is the largest cabbage producer in the country, for example – in a crisis not much of that food is going to make it into the city, so you can expect hungry mobs to fan out into the rural parts of the state looking for food.

Along with the city’s already high crime levels, the collapse of New York is going to be fast and brutal.

The Alternatives

If you live in one of these collapse-prone states, the best advice is to be ready to bug out as fast and as far as you can.

The ideal solution is to move to a more rural state where any collapse will be slower and less violent, giving you time to adjust to the new normal.

The Great Plains states are a good choice – large, sparsely populated and heavily agricultural.

It’s easy to be self-sufficient there, and you’re a long way from the chaos that will erupt when America’s helpless cities start to starve.

The United States economy is looking shakier than it has looked since 2009, when we had the housing crash, bringing about the “Great Recession.”

There has been a constant specter of a financial collapse over the country since then, with one financial guru or another predicting that coming collapse.

But now things are looking much shakier, as the economy finally reacts to the effects of the pandemic. Thousands of small businesses are closed for good and a number of major chains seem to be following in their wake.

Unemployment is slowly coming down from the high in 2020, but some of the relief efforts that the government has taken are making it hard to get people back on the job.

Why Is That So?

On top of all that, the trillions of dollars that Congress has borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank, essentially creating money out of thin air is starting to cause a very predictable rise in inflation, which in turn is likely to push us into a recession.

This can have serious repercussions for us all. Not only does it inflation affect our buying power, with our disposable income not going as far; but it also affects investments. Whatever value you or I might have in any current investments, is going to go down, even if the apparent cash value might go up.

But what does up mean, if everything else costs more?

You Might Have Investments You Don’t Know About

What’s that? You don’t think you have any investments? Do you have a retirement account with your employer?

Then you have investments. It’s probably in the form of a 401K, which is used by many companies so that you can take whatever retirement funds you’ve accrued from one job to another, helping ensure that you will have something more than Social Security to live on when you reach retirement age.

With that being the case, any negative pressure on the economy and especially any recession is going to result in a negative effect on your retirement.

You may not see it directly right now; but when the time comes for your annual review of your retirement account, you’ll probably see that you’re not going to get as much when you retire, as you thought you would.

That trend is likely to continue, as long as inflation is on the rise and/or the economy is likely to go into recession. At this point in time, there’s really no way of knowing just how long this is going to last.

But what can you do? Those retirement funds are normally managed by professionals, with you not having any direct contact with them or control over how they are invested. Or do you? Are there things that you can do with that money, which still meets the requirements of the law, but protects your investment at the same time?

The answer to that question is yes. While we don’t always have the option of making specific decisions on specific investments, most of these retirement accounts do allow us to choose between a variety of different investment “tracks.” Then, of course, any money we have invested in our 401K from previous employers is ours, giving us a whole lot more control. The question then, is just what to do?

Recession-Proof Investments to Consider

Fortunately, there are some investments which are pretty much recession-proof.

Knowing which those are gives you the opportunity to make wise decisions in how your 401K is invested. Considering how shaky the economy is at this time, that’s something I wouldn’t waste time on doing.

The first rule here is to look for safe investments.

That means forgoing those with a high yield, in place of those which are considered steady. The 3.76% yield on 10-year Treasury notes may not seem like a very good investment, it’s a whole lot better than losing 10%.

Bonds are usually considered one of the safest investments on the market.

US Savings Bonds, Municipal Bonds and other bonds issued by government entities may not pay high-interest rates, but those entities are highly likely to pay back whatever money they borrow. An investment portfolio made largely of bonds may not seem exciting, but it is secure.

Conservative Investment Funds

There are also other conservative investment funds around, such as Money Market funds.

These fall on the low-yield end of the spectrum as well, especially when compared to any sort of junk bonds.

While the junk bonds typically have a higher interest rate, there’s also a chance of them defaulting during a time of recession, leaving you with 10 cents on the dollar.

Another rather solid investment is utilities, especially the energy sector.

Again, this isn’t the place to make a killing on the Stock Market, as these companies don’t generate new products that can boost the value of their stock. But they are solid, stable investments, which also usually pay dividends.

Dividend Stocks

Perhaps one of the least understood ways of getting the most out of your investment dollar is dividend stocks. These are stocks that pay out a dividend quarterly or annually. The key here is to set it up so that those dividends are automatically reinvested, increasing your portfolio size.

While that cash might be nice to have right now, so that you can buy that new car or big-screen TV, it’s better to build your retirement, so that you’ll have that money when you really need it.

Precious Metals

Finally, don’t forget about precious metals.

If there’s anything that can be said to be a sure thing in the investment world, it’s that when the value of the dollar drops, the value of gold and silver goes up. While you probably can’t invest in actual gold ingots, coins and bars as part of your 401K, there are still ways of investing in precious metals, including in futures.

Think About the Long Term

Remember that the economy tends to be cyclical, although it’s not a cycle that can easily be predicted.

Even so, short-term dips in your investments can be survived, when you look at the long-term.

So don’t panic and try to sell out if you see something going down. Rather, ride it out and wait for better financial times.

Your investment will most likely grow again, giving you the money you need for retirement.

“Your good, careful people of the villages are the thieves of virtue.”
Confucius, The Analects, 17.

“They agree with the current customs. They consent with an impure age. Their principles only appear to be right-heartedness and truth. Their conduct only appears to be disinterestedness and purity. All men are pleased with them, and they deem themselves to be right. But one cannot proceed with them to the principles of [the moral exemplars]. For this reason they are called “The thieves of virtue.”
D.C. Lau, Mencius (1970)[1]

One of the surest hallmarks of a cultural death spiral is omnipresent anomie and the universal deadening of the capacity to experience shock. Everything in culture becomes repetitive and suffocatingly numb. I was reminded of this back in June when a friend sent me a video from Wi Spa, a Korean spa in Los Angeles that played host to a controversy when a Black female customer complained without success that customers, including children, were being exposed to the penis of a naked transsexual in a female changing area. While some left-wing sources are now claiming that the Black woman was a Christian conservative who fabricated the complaint, the truth of the matter remains unclear. In any case, the footage was, to me, not remarkable for the allegations (now becoming all too real and predictable regardless of what really happened at Wi Spa), nor the attitude of the Black woman, or even the robotic and dismissive attitude of the staff, but rather for the intervention of a White Beta male who played the role of the quintessential Social Justice Warrior. This man insisted to the Black complainant that females could have a penis, showed total disregard for the children involved in the complaint, and did his utmost to rhetorically strut and preen in the manner of some kind of moralistic human peacock; maintaining one eye on the Black female while employing the other to scan the watching crowd for admiring gazes. The spectacle, sickening for so very many reasons, was all the more perverse for this sideshow.

The reasons behind behavior like this are not mysterious. There is a strong element of self-interest and a flow of social incentives for ‘woke’ behavior. A lot of people engage in ‘social justice’ interventions, both online and “in the real world,” because they hope for social, financial, and professional rewards. In the same way that very many people in the age of the smartphone now fear being recorded and made viral as a new racist “Karen,” there are a great many people who want to go viral as an anti-racist social hero.

While punishment for racism is permanent and perpetual, however, the rewards of anti-racism are merely fleeting and superfluous. The System expects everyone to be anti-racist and open to sexual deviance, and so the greatest reward it bestows is not to share its riches or status, reserved only for the elites and a handful of celebrity anti-racists, but instead to offer the common compliant man only the quiet relief of not being seen as antithetical to the hegemonic values of multiculturalism. In this sense, we deal not so much with the carrot and the stick, as the idea that the “carrot” is nothing more than a temporary and conditional avoidance of the stick.

To put it another way, one is anti-racist and woke purely and simply in order to avoid being categorized by the System as racist and bigoted. Among yet others (the “vicar’s daughters-types” once described so vividly by Jonathan Bowden), there is an element of pathological altruism. In these cases, we confront the dim-witted and naive, the prototypes of Dostoevsky’s The Idiot, but without that novel’s protagonist’s charm and redeeming qualities. Combined, these various types of White social justice moralist (the career climber, the fashion follower, the socially anxious, and the painfully naive) are fatal to all right-thinking, and are a major accelerator of decline.

So much, then, for explaining why people behave this way. But what are the moral mechanics at work, and how does this behavior impact matters on a wider social level? During some recent reading of Eastern philosophy, I encountered an interesting concept that might deserve at least some attention — the Confucian idea of the “thieves of virtue” or fake moralists. Confucius (551–479 BC) is an interesting figure for the consideration of White moral social justice trends because he was a traditionalist of his era and because he had a particular interest in the search for moral values in a rapidly changing social context. As such, he made a valuable contribution to developing a distinction between what could be seen as merely popularly moral and what was genuinely moral and sincere.

Confucius and Social Virtue

It’s worth briefly explaining who this ancient Chinese philosopher was, before suggesting why he might have some ideas even remotely applicable to contemporary Whites. Confucius was known in his lifetime as Kong Fuzi, or Master Kong. He was a court scholar who occupied, through a relatively novel meritocratic process, a position not unlike modern civil servants. Confucius sought to integrate the new meritocratic developments of ancient China into old ideals and traditions, and this effort to synthesize the old and the new led to his quest to develop a new moral philosophy with direct social implications. Despite the introduction of meritocracy and the partial replacement of aristocracy, Confucius was opposed to egalitarianism and upheld a strong belief in hierarchy and an innate inequality between men. Deep nobility (junzi) and virtue (de) could, however, be found throughout the hierarchy. If a lowly peasant understood and fully embraced his role within it, for example, he was no less virtuous and valuable than the man at top of the social pyramid. Everyone in the folk community had an important role to play. In this sense, his philosophy is a kind of national socialism, which stressed the ultimate importance of the community over social class. The social pyramid itself was made cohesive and coherent through the Five Constant Relationships: Sovereign-Subject; Parent-Child; Husband-Wife; Elder Sibling-Younger Sibling; and Friend-Friend. It should be pointed out, if it isn’t already obvious, that there is no room for the stranger or the foreigner in this scheme of social obligation and ritual.

Social obligation was itself made manifest through demonstrations of Li, which could be roughly translated as ‘justice,’ but could be more accurately described as ritual propriety. One encountered Li in ancestor worship, at weddings, at funerals, when giving or receiving gifts, and in everyday gestures of politeness such as bowing and using the correct mode of dress. These outwards signs were intended to reflected inner virtue, but only truly did so when performed with sincerity. It was sincerity, along with faithfulness and self-reflection, that really pointed to the genuinely moral and virtuous man.

Thieves of Virtue

The opinions of Confucius on those who merely perform Li without possessing inner virtue are found in the Analects, a collection of fragments of his writings and sayings compiled by his disciples. The Analects together comprise a predominantly political treatise, but the collection is also made up of aphorisms and anecdotes. In section 17 of the Analects, Confucius refers to “village worthies (xiang yuan 鄉愿)” and compares their empty moralism to “assuming a severe expression while being weak inside” and breaking into a home and committing burglary. The “worthy” exterior of the village moralists is thus stolen or unmerited. They are in fact hypocrites who, while critiquing all that is “bad,” are themselves utterly devoid of virtue.

If Confucius’s critique of these “village worthies” was solely limited to their hypocrisy then there would be limited value in applying his critique to contemporary White social justice moralists. We know full well that the majority of White self-styled anti-racists and woke activists are hypocrites. We know that most wealthy White multiculturalists do their very best to have their children educated in predominantly White schools, and to raise their families in predominantly White neighborhoods. The vast majority of people outwardly saying they’re fine with gay marriage and the widespread acceptance of transsexualism secretly hope their children don’t turn out that way. In an era in which pro-diversity propaganda is peaking—with no mainstream dissent, the fact remains that Whites are continuing to quietly self-segregate as much as their resources will allow. We live in an age where everyone proclaims the benefits of diversity while doing their very best to avoid it. Hypocrisy is endemic, and it is obvious.

But Confucius goes deeper than hypocrisy in his criticism of the village worthies, the ‘woke’ types of his era, stressing their role in the development of a kind of moral-social cancer that is catastrophic to national culture. In fact, Confucius’s most pointed critique isn’t that the village worthies wear masks, but that there is nothing to mask. They lack all sense of identity, possess no ideology, and are nothing more than chameleons who take on whatever face is considered attractive or laudable by the elites they want to appeal to.[2] In this sense, when considering our contemporary White social justice moralists (the career climber, the fashion follower, the socially anxious, and the painfully naive), all can be subsumed under the title of “village worthies” who are “thieves of virtue.” All of them are fundamentally empty persons without authentic identity. A similar contemporary pop culture reference point would be the NPC (Non-Playable Character) meme developed by gamers to describe those who, like the background figures in video games, possess no agency or capacity for independent thought. Winnie Sung, commenting on this element of the Analects, writes:

The appearance-only hypocrite, such as Confucius’ village worthies, puts us in a special predicament. For someone who does not wear a mask cannot be unmasked. … There is nothing that we can expose when it comes to the village worthies because there is nothing underneath.[3]

This is particularity egregious for Confucius because identity is a foundation of integrity. The person of integrity is someone who preserves a sense of what identifies the person as essentially the person they are. Or, to put it another way, you need to understand yourself and who you are before you can claim that “you” stand for anything, let alone something as lofty as moral values. Someone who denies their own heritage, ethnic origins, and identity cannot sincerely proclaim any moral values because these values are not rooted in their own identity and are therefore both artificial and adopted. Sung writes:

Assuming that having identifications is necessary for having an identity, since the village worthies do not have their own identifications, we cannot say what kind of person they really are. They do not have anything that they actually identify with, and hence do not have what is truly theirs. We cannot in their case say that there is any break between their practices and their true identity. The village worthies lack integrity not in the sense where one’s identity is corrupted or concealed but because they do not even have their own identifications.[4]

Popular Moralism as Social Cancer

Accompanying instinctive self-segregation, there is an almost contradictory rise in culturally deracinated Whites keen to outwardly disavow the White past and condemn the White present. While the animosities of non-White ethnic groups can be easily understood in the context of inter-ethnic competition and their construction of past suffering at the hands of Whites (e.g., the lachrymose view of Jewish history common among Jews), White complicity in this process remains one of the strongest barriers to mounting a successful challenge against multiculturalism and multiracialism in the West. For Confucius, one of the most galling aspects of this behavior would be the tendency among some Whites to proclaim their status as a “White anti-racist” dedicated to spreading their ideology among other Whites. Confucius would object to such a self-designation, pointing out that such people are already devoid of any sense of White identity or what it means to be White, and that their interventions are thus inherently lacking in integrity and are essentially meaningless. There is thus no real “White anti-racism” but instead a phenomenon wherein empty persons mimic foreign ideas.

Because it is unnatural to loathe one’s own group and identity, when Whites adopt anti-White or anti-racist positions, they are simply reflecting the values of others, particularly oppositional elites. Unfortunately, such behavior can become endemic because “village worthies,” “thieves of virtue,” or NPCs have an endless capacity to mimic fashion. Sung comments:

At a larger scale, Confucius thinks that the presence of people who have no identity of their own, and merely reflect others’ values, is a threat to the moral system. Mencius quotes Confucius as saying: ‘Confucius said, “I detest what is specious. I detest the foxtail for fear it should pass for seedlings. I detest flattery for fear it should pass for what is right. I detest glibness for fear it should pass for the truthful. … I detest purple for fear it should pass for vermilion. I detest the village worthy for fear he should pass for the virtuous.” Just like the color purple (which closely resembles vermillion) easily confuses people and misleads people in their choice, the village worthies, who look just like the virtuous people according to our current conceptions and appear attractive to the audience, easily confuse their audience and mislead the audience to think that they have the more attractive character than the genuinely virtuous people. The village worthies will pretend to have moral qualities that appeal to their audience, and will not pretend to have moral qualities that do not appeal to their audience. Hence, the village worthies will never fail a moral test from the perspective of their audience. Although a small group of genuinely virtuous people might be able to detect the village worthies’ hypocrisy, they will not be able to convince the village worthies’ audience that these seemingly gracious and attractive people are not what they appear.

Social Justice versus Authentic Justice

A formidable obstacle to forming a challenge to the multicultural status quo is the idea that such a challenge is inherently immoral. This is an idea that began with ethnically alien intellectuals and activists who have an obvious self-interest in promoting it. Then, gradually, and with increasing frequency following World War II, the idea was seeded among leading White “village worthies” (politicians, academics, cultural figures) until it reached critical cultural saturation. Accompanying ideas were then also inserted into social fashion, including the notion that any defense of White ethnic interests is immoral. The result has been exactly as Confucius predicted — a wholesale threat to the true moral order. Today, only a dwindling number of representatives of junzi remain in the West, the “small group of genuinely virtuous people” capable of detecting the hypocrisy and false moralism of the age. This is the group which roots its integrity in its identity, and doesn’t feel the need to conceal the fact that its values are based in ethnic self-interest. Like the junzi of Confucius’s time, this small core of authentically moral people are unable to convince the masses that the village worthies—these “seemingly gracious and attractive people” with their allegedly impeccable morals—are not what they appear.

And yet our morality is evidently both genuine and of an especially high type. One of the most important aspects of Li is a sense of what we in the West call “equity.” This is the idea that we should not necessarily follow the letter of the law, but the spirit of it. We don’t automatically reach for the punishment for theft, but try at least to take into consideration why the theft took place when considering the sentence. Inherent in equity is a sense of the dualism of man — the idea the Man is never entirely good, nor entirely bad. A good judge, aware of his own failings as a human, will seek the most humane punishment or resolution to a legal case. In the Western tradition, equity begins in antiquity with the writings of Aristotle (epieikeia) and with Roman law (aequitas), and it is also a strong element (if not the strongest) in Christianity, which critiques Man as a sinner but rejects the rule of Mosaic law (despite the baffling claim of Matthew 5:17) and proclaims the possibility of Man’s capacity for Good and his ultimate redemption. Equity is also strongly evident in the ancient writings of the Chinese, and in the dualist religions of the Indian sub-Continent and the Far East, especially Buddhism. All such instances contrast with the Judaic/Islamic worldview, which lacks equity and sees law (Torah-Shariah) as an end in itself. It should be noted that the Judaic worldview, which makes categorical moral demands, is especially conducive to the development of “village worthies” and “thieves of virtue.”

White social justice moralists lack equity and deny their own dual natures. One would think, given their many lofty proclamations, that one is dealing with saints. And yet it is commonplace to discover that this or that anti-racist politician or activist is corrupt, a pervert, a child abuser, a slanderer, or some other form of human pond scum. These people, riddled with all kinds of neuroses and obsessions, cling to anti-racism like a life raft, finding in it at least one meagre chance of passing themselves off as “good people.”

Anti-racism, it might be said, is the moral band-aid of our age, covering a multitude of sins. Confucius, on the other hand, would see “racism,” or the seeking of one’s own ethnic interests, as moral to the extent that it proceeds from tradition, from identity, and from the integrity bestowed by both. For Confucius, a war of conquest contains an honesty that a professed moral crusade does not. He would have little patience for contemporary hand-wringing about past European conquests or enslaving Africans. How can one proclaim selflessness when proclaiming selflessness brings one social rewards that benefit the self? Confucius compared this delusion of morality to banging a drum in search of a fugitive—those most loudly bleating about moral matters will always find that true morality eludes them. The man who seeks after his community’s material interests, on the other hand, will be sated by securing them and will not entertain self-delusion. His desires are universal, predicable, and capable of satisfaction. The posturing moralist, or “thief of virtue,” on the other hand, is a true annihilator, since he will not rest until his fashionable worldview, in all its banality, is universally imposed. In this view, Genghis Khan is the moral superior to Moses, and infinitely less dangerous to social order.

Conclusion

Confucius’s perspective on community morality offers a nuanced and interesting perspective on some of the troubling issues confronting Western societies today, especially the total dominance of multiculturalism and Leftism in moral discourse. One of the major problems confronting movements for the defense of White interests is the culturally ubiquitous idea that such a defense is intrinsically immoral, and this idea has advanced to such a degree that several forms of defending White interests have been criminalized. Confucius’s concept of the “thieves of virtue” undermines the claims of this mass false morality and points out that fashion and conformity can smother authentic virtue and morals. We live in an age when most Whites lack identity, and thus integrity, and we have witnessed a kind of mass chameleon effect where the goals of foreign elites are mimicked and parroted for short-term personal relief or reward. This is a threat to the authentic moral system—a system which derives its morality from tradition and identity. It is moral and a demonstration of virtue and nobility to defend and expand upon one’s ethnic interests. The man who claims instead to be a world citizen, or to love everyone, is a liar. Such a man is a thief of virtue.

“The germ theory is a fallacy, [and] vaccinations, a source of healthy profits for the pharmaceutical industry, are useless and do not provide immunity to any disease.”

“Viruses and bacteria are part of the bodily process of removing toxins from the body. The body contains trillions of viruses and bacteria. According to the authors none of these viruses and bacteria are pathogenic. Viruses and bacteria are essential to the bodily process of removing dead and dying toxins from the body. While bacteria are alive, viruses are not.”

This 777-page book by two non-doctors, (Dawn Lester is an accountant and David Parker is an electrical engineer,) challenges the germ theory to its very core, a theory which is the foundation of our current allopathic medical system.
The two British authors spent ten-years researching and writing their massive book. They address every topic from small pox and polio to vaccines, the flu and the Black Death.
But the central thesis of the book is their systematic attack on the veracity of the germ theory. They repeat often that there is no evidence that viruses or bacteria cause any disease.

Chapter three is titled “The Germ Theory: A Deadly Fallacy.” After much research, the authors conclude that there is no evidence that the germ theory has ever been scientifically proven. 
Proposed by Louis Pasteur in the 1860’s, the germ theory of disease caught on and became accepted by the medical establishment of the day. By the late nineteenth century the idea that germs caused disease led to the introduction of vaccines to fight the various disease caused by the so called pathogenic germs.
The authors conclude that the germ theory is a fallacy, that vaccinations, a source of healthy profits for the pharmaceutical industry, are useless and do not provide immunity to any disease and that Pasteur and Albert Jenner, … responsible for contributing … to the human suffering and misery….”
The authors point to the case of German biologist Dr Stefan Lanka, PhD, and his work on viruses and especially on the measles virus. 

Dr Lanka… concludes that there is no virus that can be proven to be the cause of any disease.

In a recent court case in Germany the highest court held, on appeal, that there was no scientific proof that a virus was the cause of measles. While he lost at the lower court level Dr Lanka defeated the pharmaceutical industry when the higher court found that the pharmaceutical industry papers failed to prove that a virus cause measles.
So what are viruses and bacteria? The authors … say that viruses and bacteria are part of the bodily process of removing toxins from the body. The body contains trillions of viruses and bacteria. According to the authors none of these viruses and bacteria are pathogenic. Viruses and bacteria are essential to the bodily process of removing dead and dying toxins from the body. While bacteria are alive, viruses are not.

WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU ILL?
 In chapter ten of the book, Lester and Parker, offer four factors which can cause ill health.
The first factor is nutrition. The human body needs proper nutrition for optimum health. The authors say that a plant-based diet is enough to provide optimum health.
The second factor is toxic exposure. The air we breath, the water we drink and the food we consume need to be free of toxins.
The third factor is EM radiation exposures. Cell phones, living too close to a cell phone tower, wi-fi technology and the new 5G are examples of possible radiation over exposure.
The fourth factor is prolonged emotional stress.
Lester and Parker recommend a plant based diet to achieve proper nutrition. They say that all the vitamins and minerals needed for the body can be obtained from a proper plant based diet. This advice by the authors should be revisited.
Much research by medical authorities dispute the assertion that we can get our vitamin and mineral needs from diet alone. Dr Joel Wallach says that we need 80 vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids every day to avoid illness and disease. Dr Wallach says we must supplement every day to get the proper nutrition because we cannot get the proper nutrition from diet alone.
Humans, because of an ancient genetic defect, cannot produce vitamin C in their livers. Dogs, cats, cows, chickens and other animals do produce vitamin C in ample quantities internally.

Two time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling made the case that heart disease in humans was a vitamin C deficiency and that we must supplement with vitamin C every day to avoid this number one killer of the population.
Published in December of 2019 “What Really Makes You Ill?” preceded the current corona virus phenomenon. Lester and Parker address the corona virus issue on their web page at www.whatreallymakesyouill.com. The videos on this web page are must-listening to understand the current corona virus controversy.
In over forty five videos, Lester and Parker expand their discussion of the failed germ theory and repeatedly call the current corona virus pandemic a hoax.

Beijing’s state-run Global Times newspaper has warned Taiwan that the US “abandonment” of Afghan allies should be a lesson, as the disputed island would be left to fend for itself and “collapse in hours” in a war with China.

Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leaders must keep a “sober head” and advocates for secession from China should “wake up from their dreams,” the English-language newspaper said on Monday.

“From what happened in Afghanistan, they should perceive that once a war breaks out in the Straits, the island’s defense will collapse in hours, and the US military won’t come to help,” Global Times said in an editorial. “As a result, the DPP authorities will quickly surrender, while some high-level officials may flee by plane.”

Just such a scenario has played out in Afghanistan since President Joe Biden announced in April that the US military would withdraw from the country by September 11. Biden later moved the deadline up to the end of August, but even before the process could be completed, the country’s US-backed government collapsed. Taliban fighters overran Afghan security forces in an overwhelming blitzkrieg, capped by their capture of Kabul on Sunday, after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country with bags of cash in tow.

“The best choice for the DPP authorities is to avoid pushing the situation to that position,” Global Times said.

“They need to change their course of bonding themselves to the anti-Chinese mainland chariot of the US. They should keep cross-Straits peace with political means, rather than acting as strategic pawns of the US and bear the bitter fruits of a war.”

The article was accompanied by an illustration of a bald eagle, representing the US, leading Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen toward a hole in the ground. The newspaper likened the chaos in Kabul to the 1975 fall of Saigon, when US embassy staffers were evacuated by helicopter, just as happened again in Afghanistan on Sunday.

Global Times said the US has a long history of abandoning its allies, from betraying imperial France after the Revolutionary War and abandoning Kurdish allies in Syria in 2019, to fleeing Kabul as Afghan defenses collapsed. “Is this some kind of omen of Taiwan’s future fate?” the newspaper asked, adding that while Tsai and other DPP leaders downplayed the Afghan crisis, “they must have known better in secret, that the US is not reliable.”

Jewish power is always an illusion. It only exists because people believe in it.

On December 6th President Trump’s words shook the world.

For the first time in over 2000 years, Jerusalem was recognized as the capital of Israel.

Whether he knows it or not, President Trump fulfilled his part in a frightening biblical prophecy exactly as the scriptures predicted.

Only the top church leaders and Bible scholars know the real meaning behind this great and terrible moment, yet no one is saying a thing about it…

So pay chose attention because this video will change your life forever for the good!

Joe Biden said you should surrender your guns because you would need F-15s and nukes to beat the US government, but the Taliban beat the US government with Kalashnikovs and Toyota pickup trucks.

Honestly, China should have just taken Taiwan on Sunday. No one would shoot at them, after they realized what was happening. Leaders would just immediately flee with huge amounts of cash, and the masses of normal Chinamen would just nod and continue about their business. There would be a rush of homosexuals to the airport, but the Chinese military isn’t sexualized like the Taliban, so you wouldn’t have any sluts crying for salvation.

Of course now, it’s only a matter of time. The Empire is officially in decline, and the clock is ticking on every globalist-Jew project.

With the scene in Kabul over the weekend, we witnessed the beginning of the end of the Evil Empire.

If we stay still, we can hear the words: “fallen, is fallen…”

All of those who served it will end up no different than those morons climbing onto the wings of planes at the Kabul airport.

I just want to say to all of those people leading the Oath Keepers, TRS, Proud Boys, Atomwaffen, TWP, and the rest – you’re not getting on the planes with the American elite when they flee for Israel. You’re going to be left at the airport, and your pitiful bags of cash will be torn open. And I promise each and every one of you: we are not going to be as forgiving as the Taliban.

When these chickens finally come home to roost, you fat motherfuckers are at the top of my list.

There will be no white flags and no peace talks.

You’d be better off taking your chances holding onto the wings of that flight to Tel Aviv than dealing with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that King Nick is going to appoint me as the head of. I can tell you that much.

An Aug. 2 op-ed by the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board suggested we ought to “make vaccination the price of admission to society.” One way to evaluate the reasonableness of such a proposition is to replace COVID “vaccination” with anything else.

Story at-a-glance:

• In June, the U.S. National Security Council released a new National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism document. While it’s being largely framed as a tool to fight extremism, the definition of what constitutes a “domestic terrorist” is incredibly vague and based on ideologies rather than specific behaviors.
• This policy can easily be used to silence political opposition simply by labeling anyone who disagrees with the government as a domestic terrorist and charging them with a hate crime, and we’re already seeing signs of this.
• Dr. Peter Hotez recently published a paper in PLOS Biology, in which he suggests criticizing Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists ought to be labeled a “hate crime.”
• Former assistant secretary for Homeland Security Juliette Kayyem is urging the U.S. government to put unvaccinated citizens on a no-fly list.
• The San Francisco Chronicle editorial board believes we ought to “make vaccination the price of admission to society.”

In June, the U.S. National Security Council released a new “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism” document. While it’s being largely framed as a tool to fight white supremacy and political extremism, the definition of what constitutes a “domestic terrorist” is incredibly vague and based on ideologies rather than specific behaviors.

It’s not difficult to imagine this policy being used to silence political opposition simply by labeling anyone who disagrees with the government as a domestic terrorist and charging them with a hate crime.

We’re already seeing signs suggesting that this is the path we’re on. July 28, Dr. Peter Hotez published a paper in PLOS Biology titled “Mounting Antiscience Aggression in the U.S.,” in which he suggests criticizing Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists ought to be labeled a “hate crime.” Commenting on the paper, Paul Joseph Watson at Summit News writes:

“This is yet another transparent effort to dehumanize anti-lockdown protesters and demonize people who merely want to exercise bodily autonomy while elevating Fauci and his ilk to Pope-like status. Science isn’t supposed to be a religious dogma that is set in stone, it’s an ever-evolving knowledge base that changes and improves thanks to dissent and skepticism.”

Science depends on questioning and challenging assumptions

Attorney Jonathan Turley also responded to Hotez’s paper in an Aug. 4 blog post, saying:

“’Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.’ Feynman’s statement captures how science depends upon constant questioning and challenging of assumptions …

“[T]here remain important debates over not just the underlying science relation to Covid-19 but the implications for such science for public policies. Criminalizing aspects of that debate would ratchet up the threats against those with dissenting views, including some scientists. That would harm not just free speech but science in the long run.”CHD Wins Case Against FCC – Watch Live Press Conference at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET

Should we have protected classes that cannot be questioned?

Turley also points out how making scientists a protected class (and one would assume only those with specific political leanings) is a slippery slope that will likely have unwieldy ramifications:

“The federal hate crime laws focus on the basis of a person’s characteristics of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We have seen calls for adding professions like police officers, which I also opposed.

“As with police officers, the inclusion of such professions would have a direct and inimical impact on free speech in our society. Indeed, it would create a slippery slope as other professions demand inclusion from reporters to ministers to physicians. Hate crimes would quickly apply to a wide array of people due to their occupations.”

Will America accept no-fly list for unvaccinated?

Writing for The Atlantic, former assistant secretary for Homeland Security Juliette Kayyem posits that people who do not want to be part of the COVID injection experiment “need to bear the burden” when it comes to preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

“The number of COVID-19 cases keeps growing, even though remarkably safe, effective vaccines are widely available,” Kayyem writes. “Many public agencies are responding by reimposing masking rules on everyone.

“But at this stage of the pandemic, tougher universal restrictions are not the solution to continuing viral spread. While flying, vaccinated people should no longer carry the burden for unvaccinated people.

“The White House has rejected a nationwide vaccine mandate … but a no-fly list for unvaccinated adults is an obvious step that the federal government should take.

“It will help limit the risk of transmission at destinations where unvaccinated people travel — and, by setting norms that restrict certain privileges to vaccinated people, will also help raise the stagnant vaccination rates that are keeping both the economy and society from fully recovering.”

Travel ban identified as effective coercion strategy

According to Kayyem, traveling in general and flying in particular is not a human right, and putting unvaccinated individuals on a no-fly list is a matter of national security, in the sense that the country needs to protect itself from people capable of spreading this dangerous virus.

She makes no mention of the scientifically confirmed fact that none of the COVID shots actually prevent you from getting infected, and that “vaccinated” individuals carry the same viral load as the unvaccinated, which means they’re just as infectious. The main difference is that vaccinated individuals might not realize that they’re carriers, as the primary effect when the injections do work is lessening symptoms of infection.

Kayyem also cites a New York Times and Kaiser Family Foundation poll in which 41% of unvaccinated respondents had said prohibition on airline travel would sway their decision, including 11% of those “adamantly opposed” to vaccination. In other words, where free doughnuts and million-dollar lotteries have failed to coerce people to get the shot, an airline travel ban might do the trick.

Despite her former position within government, she makes no mention of laws forbidding coercion of medical volunteers, such as the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 45 CFR 46 (subpart A, the Belmont report), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights treaty, the Declaration of Helsinki or the Nuremberg Code. Supreme court rulings have also clarified that Americans have the right to choose their own health care in general.

Reframing to confuse the issue

Kayyem suggests circumventing such basic human rights by reframing the issue. She writes:

“The public debate about making vaccination a precondition for travel, employment, and other activities has described this approach as vaccine mandates, a term that … suggests that unvaccinated people are being ordered around arbitrarily.

“What is actually going on, mostly, is that institutions are shifting burdens to unvaccinated people … rather than imposing greater burdens on everyone.

“Americans still have a choice to go unvaccinated, but that means giving up on certain societal benefits. Nobody has a constitutional right to attend The Lion King on Broadway or work at Disney or Walmart … People who still want to wait and see about the vaccines can continue doing so. They just can’t keep pushing all the costs on everyone else.”

As pointed out by Swift Headline, the owner of Atlantic magazine, Laurene Powell Jobs, the billionaire widow of Steve Jobs, owns two private jets herself, giving her the freedom to fly around the world at will, regardless what vaccine mandates might be in place. Many other ultra-rich individuals would also be able to ignore the rules due to wealth alone, essentially turning them into a protected class. Swift Headline points out this projection:

“The Atlantic went on to say unvaccinated people who are exercising their individual rights as free Americans ‘do not deserve’ to be a ‘protected class’ …

“Jobs’s wealth and class status is detailed in Breitbart News’ Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow’s book, ‘Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruptions,’ which ‘exposes the hidden connections between the establishment media and the activist left.’

“As Marlow details, Jobs’s past is a privileged one … Jobs ‘married well and inherited a lot of money, and her wealth is tied up in some of the world’s biggest companies,’ Marlow continues. ‘She is the establishment.’”

The price of admission to society

Aug. 2, the San Francisco Chronicle also published an opinion piece by the Chronicle editorial board, in which they suggested we ought to “Make vaccination the price of admission to society.” One way to evaluate the reasonableness of such a proposition is to replace COVID “vaccination” with anything else.

How about: “Make proof of contraception use the price of admission to bars and nightclubs.”

“Make clear skin the price of admission to gyms and public swimming pools.”

“Make being taller than 5’ 9” the price of admission to theme parks.”

“Make having a BMI below 25 the price of admission to airline flights.”

“Make proof of not having an illness the price of admission to in-hospital care.”

According to the Chronicle editorial board, “the unvaccinated account for over 95% of hospitalizations and deaths.” The board does not cite where it got that data from, so let’s review the source of that data.

In an Aug. 5 video statement, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Rochelle Walensky noted that this statistic was obtained by looking at hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021 — a timeframe during which the vast majority of the U.S. population were unvaccinated.

The narrative that we’re in a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’ was created by using statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely unvaccinated. When you look at more recent data, the trend is swinging in the opposite direction.

Jan. 1 only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots, and as of June 15, 48.7% were fully “vaccinated.”

The CDC has also pointed out that you are not considered “fully vaccinated” until two weeks after your second dose (in the case of Pfizer or Moderna), which is given six weeks after your first shot. This means that if you receive your first dose on June 1, you won’t be “fully vaccinated” until eight weeks later, around Aug. 1.

So, the narrative that we’re in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” was created by using statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely unvaccinated. When you look at more recent data, the trend is swinging in the opposite direction.

Vaccinated now comprise the bulk of hospitalizations

For example, Aug. 1, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, director of Israel’s Public Health Services, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully vaccinated.

A few days later, Aug. 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, appeared on Channel 13 News, reporting that 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated, and that they make up 85% to 90% of COVID related hospitalizations overall.

In Scotland, official data on hospitalizations and deaths show 87% of those who have died from COVID-19 in the third wave that began in early July were vaccinated, and in Gibraltar, which has a 99% COVID jab compliance rate, COVID cases have risen by 2,500% since June 1, 2021.

A CDC investigation of an outbreak in Barnstable County, Massachusetts between July 6 through July 25, found 74% of those who received a diagnosis of COVID19, and 80% of hospitalizations, were among the fully vaccinated. Most, but not all, had the Delta variant.

“What the breakthrough cases appear to show is that the delta variant of the coronavirus is more easily carried and transmitted by vaccinated people than its predecessors,” the Chronicle editorial board writes.

“In any case, the greater apparent transmissibility of the variant makes it that much more important to protect as many people as possible from severe COVID by increasing inoculation rates.”

What the board appears to be saying is that unvaccinated people must be protected against severe infection, against their will, if need be, and the best way to do that is to discriminate against them and treat them like second-class citizens.

Again, a simple way to check the reasonableness of this argument is to swap out the COVID reference for something else. How about, “It’s important to protect as many people as possible from dying in car accidents by raising car prices so fewer people can get behind the wheel.”

Can ‘Big Brother’ save you from a virus?

As early as April 2020, The Times in the U.K. weighed in with similar suggestions, stating “We need Big Brother to beat this virus.” Clare Foges, the author of the piece in question, went on to say, “Don’t let the civil liberties lobby blind us to the fact that greater state surveillance, including ID cards, is required.”

The argument that Big Brother can protect us from infection is ludicrous on its face, because no amount of people surveillance can prevent microscopic viruses from circulating.

The No. 1 place of viral spread is in institutions, such as nursing homes and hospitals, yet the staff within them are among the most well-trained in pathogenic control. If trained hospital staff can’t prevent the spread of viruses, how can government officials do it?

Importantly, the argument that we need vaccine passports to prove we’re “clean” enough to participate in society immediately falls apart when you take into account the fact that the COVID shots do not provide immunity. You can still be infected, carry the virus and spread it to others.

We’ve already seen several examples of situations where 100% of people were fully “vaccinated” against COVID-19 yet an outbreak occurred. We’ve even seen more than 100 fully COVID injected people die from COVID in one state alone, Massachusetts, so it is likely there are now many thousands of fully “vaccinated” who have died from COVID.

Even a 100% vaccination rate cannot eliminate COVID

Most recently, Carnival cruise lines experienced an outbreak despite every last person on that ship having proof of COVID “vaccination.” The cruise liner had even intentionally reduced capacity from 4,000 to 2,800 to provide ample social distancing capability. None of the measures worked. People got sick anyway, which makes perfect sense if you remember that the shot doesn’t provide immunity, only symptom reduction.

Cases such as these clearly reveal that even if everyone gets the shot, SARS-CoV-2 will mutate and continue to circulate, taking people out here and there. To think that giving up basic rights and freedoms is the answer simply isn’t logical. Taking responsibility for your own health is, and that includes deciding if and how you want to protect yourself from SARS-CoV-2.

Media Mistakes in the Biden Era: The Definitive List

21. Thursday Aug. 12, 2021

The Texas Tribune “overstated” the number of children hospitalized in Texas with Covid-19 by a factor of more than 40 times. The article initially claimed more than 5,800 children had been hospitalized during a seven-day period in August. However, the true number was about 142 children in a week.

When the Texas Tribune corrected the story, it did not provide the correct number for the seven-day August time period during which it initially claimed 5,800 child Covid-19 hospitalizations. Instead, the newspaper gave a corrected total that spanned a period of five-and-a-half weeks: 783 children between July 1 and Aug. 9.

As an aside, while Covid-19 is grabbing the headlines, it was actually a different virus that was filling up more of those Texas ICU beds, according to the article: an unseasonable outbreak of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV: “a highly contagious virus that can require hospitalization mostly among children… Within Texas Children’s, more than 45 children were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Wednesday, and hospital staff members have diagnosed over 1,600 cases of RSV.”

20. Thursday Aug. 12, 2021

Web MD, USA Today, and others falsely called the 2020 Sturgis, South Dakota Motorcycle Rally a Covid “Super Spreader” event. Dr. Anthony Fauci had furthered the false narrative on Meet the Press. But the “Super Spreader” claims about the event were false. Data analysis after the rally showed that didn’t even have close to the national average of cases associated with it, and especially not the quarter million that some original claimed. Additionally, it was shown that many media reports used photos of a previous year’s rally, misrepresenting and misdating those photos as if they were taken during the pandemic.

USA Today‘s Gabe Lacques, ESPN, The Denver Post, The Washington Post, Associated Press (AP), the New York Post, and other publications reported, as if true without attribution, that a fan shouted a racial slur at a Miami Marlins player. However, ani investigation revealed what many had said from the start: the fan was yelling the name of the Rockies team mascot, and that racist-minded observers mistook that for “the N-word.”

As of a week later, uncorrected headlines and/or with the false information remained accessible online (see below).

The Associated press corrected a story published July 24, 2021 that false claimed Florida had changed to weekly reporting on Covid-19 cases earlier in the month. Florida actually implemented the change a month before, in early June.

The Associated Press corrected a story that falsely claimed a supposed decision not to prosecute former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was made by the Department of Justice under the Biden administration. AP later said it was under the Trump administration.

The Washington Post joins a cacophony of other media in finally correcting their false reporting that incorrectly claimed, early and often, that the Covid-19 “lab theory” was a “debunked” “conspiracy theory.”

The Poynter Institute retracted a September 2020 Politifact fact check about a statement by Li-Meng Yan that falsely claimed, among other assertions:  The genetic structure of the novel coronavirus rules out laboratory manipulation.

Many authorities have said that is not now and has never been the case. In light of growing recognition of that fact, Politifact added the following Editor’s Note to the original fact check:

When this fact-check was first published in September 2020, PolitiFact’s sources included researchers who asserted the SARS-CoV-2 virus could not have been manipulated. That assertion is now more widely disputed. For that reason, we are removing this fact-check from our database pending a more thorough review. Currently, we consider the claim to be unsupported by evidence and in dispute. The original fact-check in its entirety is preserved below for transparency and archival purposes.

As people waited in long lines for gas, and even as the New York Times showed images of long lines in its news coverage, the newspaper claimed in a Tweet that “there have been no long lines.”

Additionally, the same day the Tweet claimed no “major price hikes” consumers documented major price hikes, up to $9.99/gallon, prompting President Biden to warn against gouging.

The New York Times, Washington Post and NBC News corrected their false reporting about Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. The articles all claimed Giuliani and/or One America News had received a “former warning from the FBI about Russian disinformation” prior to 2019 political scandals involving the U.S., Russia and Ukraine. Giuliani and One America News did not receive such so-called “defensive briefings,” after all.

The false New York Times article was written by William K. Rashbaum, Ben Protess, Maggie Haberman and Kenneth P. Vogel. Haberman and Vogel are repeat offenders on anti-Trump media mistake lists.

The false Washington Post article was written by Ellen Nakashima, Shane Harris, and Tom Hamburger.

And Ken Dilanian is on the error list again, at NBC News.

NPR, like many in the media, reported (as if it as somehow confirmed firsthand) that “President Donald Trump’s… allegations of election rigging and widespread voter fraud” are “false.” Instead, the reports should or could accurately say that NPR and other news outlets have not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud; yet, there is no indication any outlets conducted a widespread firsthand investigation to find or eliminate fraud.

NPR also called the media outlet “Newsmax” “far right”– when it is not. If NPR inserts such opinions and attacks in its news reporting, it should label them as opinions, or attribute them to a source, rather than claiming them to be fact.

Newsmax corrected its 2020 election fraud reporting and apologized to Eric Coomer, director of product strategy and security for Dominion Voting Systems.

“Newsmax has found no evidence that Dr. Coomer interfered with Dominion voting machines or voting software in any way, nor that Dr. Coomer ever claimed to have done so…Nor has Newsmax found any evidence that Dr. Coomer ever participated in any conversation with members of ‘Antifa,’ nor that he was directly involved with any partisan political organization,” said Newsmax in a statement.

A Politico article by with three bylines, EUGENE DANIELS, KRYSTAL CAMPOS and MICHAEL CADENHEAD, wrongly stated that Rep. Byron Donalds was “Florida’s first-ever Black Republican in Congress.”

In fact, he is third.

A correction added to the article didn’t explain how the basic research impacting the very premise of the article wasn’t done prior to publication.

New York Post reporter Laura Italiano resigns after saying she was pressed to write an incorrect article claiming a book written by Vice President Kamala Harris was being distributed to children who illegally crossed the border into the U.S.

A correction to the Post article noted: “The original version of this article said migrant kids were getting Harris’ book in a welcome kit but has been updated to note that only one known copy of the book was given to a child.”

Fox News corrects an earlier report that “incorrectly implied” a calculus involving Americans eating less red meat was part of “Biden’s plan for dealing with climate change.”

“That is not the case,” says Fox News.

Fox gently acknowledges that its coverage about Biden supposedly trying to force Americans to eat less red meat wasn't accurate: "A graphic and a script incorrectly implied that it was part of Biden's plan for dealing with climate change. That is not the case." pic.twitter.com/iClZSk8P4M

CBS’ 60 Minutes is accused of selectively editing a segment with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, in a story that implied he is guilty of “pay-for-play,” linking a campaign donation from Publix grocery stores to the selection of Publix as a major Covid-19 vaccine distribution center. Numerous media outlets picked up the narrative.

After the segment, numerous Democrat political figures in Florida confirmed that, contrary to the implication in the report, Publix was recommended by other state agencies rather than the governor’s office.

Gov. Ron DeSantis answers a question from Sharyn Alfonsi of CBS’ 60 Minutes

Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat, tweeted, “I said this before and I’ll say it again. [Publix] was recommended by [Florida Division of Emergency Management] and [Florida Department of Public Health]. Period! Full stop!…No one from the Governors office suggested Publix…It’s just absolute malarkey.”

In remarks edited out of the 60 Minutes story, DeSantis also had explained that other stores were actually chosen for earlier vaccine distribution jobs before Publix.

Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner, a Democrat, accused 60 Minutes of reporting “intentionally false” information, saying that the TV program knew the county– not the governor’s office– had been the one to request “to expand the state’s partnership with Publix” to help get more of the county’s elderly vaccinated.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution falsely reports that Georgia’s new voting integrity law would “limit voting hours.”

A later correction acknowledged “nothing in the law changes” the hours: 7am to 7pm. It also pointed out that “experts say the net effect was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them.”

AP incorrectly reports that 200,000 small flags were placed on the National Mall to honor Americans killed by Covid-19.

But the flags represented people who couldn’t come to the inauguration, not COVID deaths.

2. Saturday, Jan. 9, 2021

The Washington Post‘s Amy Gardner, AP, CNBC, Rolling Stone, and others falsely report that President Trump pressed a lead Georgia elections investigator to “find the fraud,” and told the investigator it would make them a national hero.

However, the actual recording of the call later made public revealed that Trump did not say either of those things.

1. Friday, Jan. 8, 2021

The New York Times reporters Marc Santora, Megan Specia and Mike Baker report Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by “pro-Trump supporters” who “overpowered” him and “struck him in the head with a fire extinguisher.”

But other reports the same day referenced Sicknick dying from a stroke.

The Times waited until mid-February to issue a correction, but still claimed– citing no evidence and no autopsy report– that Sicknick had died “from injuries in pro-Trump rampage.”

There was no explanation as to who fabricated the fire extinguisher story.

Investigative Issues: An Interview With Donald Trump, Unbowed

Trump gave the distinct impression that he is itching to get into the presidential race in 2024

In a wide-ranging interview from the corner office atop his eponymous New York City tower last week, an unfiltered Donald Trump showed he has lost none of his edge as he attacked President Biden’s ethics, demanded reparations from China for COVID-19, and advanced his claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

Here are some of the highlights, as the former president held forth on a range of issues in his inimitable style.

Chinese Influence Over the Bidens, and America

Trump – whose administration was hobbled by false charges that he was beholden to Russian President Vladimir Putin — asserted that China has American politicians, “especially Biden and the son [Hunter Biden] (Pictured/Associated Press) … wrapped around their finger. They know so much about Biden that’s so illegal … [that the president] can no longer be a person that takes on China because they can blackmail him like nobody’s ever been blackmailed before.”

“China has tremendous power over the Biden administration because of Biden himself,” Trump added. “There was tremendous money paid to the Biden family – not only China; there were numerous other countries too, and it’s not allowed to be spoken about.”

Trump did not provide evidence for these claims, although a U.S. Senate committee report on the Biden family’s business dealings raised questions about its involvement with Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian nationals and entities. Information found on a laptop once owned by Hunter Biden – who is facing a federal investigation into his taxes – has also raised questions about the President Biden’s ties to his son’s questionable affairs.

“We were doing great with China. I was going to be doing things that would’ve put us on a course that would’ve been forever great, and now we have people – they almost can’t be tough on China because China knows too much about them,” Trump said. “It’s a very sad thing.”

With respect to the political class more broadly, Trump asserted that “China’s got the strongest lobbying machine you’ve ever seen. … You go to Washington and try and hire somebody to oppose China? Can’t do it. They’ve got everybody.” 

The 2020 election

Trump remains adamant that the results were illegitimate. (Pictured/ AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell) “You’ve heard the expression that the person who counts the votes is far more important than the candidate, right? I never thought much about it; turned out to be right. It’s a corrupt election and you’ll never hear me say anything else. And they’re vicious. … They go after you for saying it.”

Although it is widely disputed that any alleged improprieties influenced enough votes to swing the election to him, Trump remains fixated on the mail-in votes that were counted late in the evening on Election Day in many states, eroding a larger-than-expected Election Day turnout by Trump supporters. He presented several charts showing the changes in the presidential vote counts — including those in swing states such as Pennsylvania — as election night wore on into the wee hours of the morning.

“Our elections are rigged” he said. “People say, ‘Oh, just focus on the future.’ You can’t focus on the future when this happens.”

Later, the former president asserted: “I don’t believe that a message of defund the police, open borders, sanctuary cities, no freedom of speech … gets 50% of the vote. I think you get 50% because [Democrats] cheat like hell in the elections … and that’s what they want to do to the whole country.”

Possible Wuhan Lab Leak

Denounced by Democrats and the media as a racist for blaming China for COVID-19, Trump feels vindicated as evidence emerges suggesting that the virus might have leaked from a Chinese virology lab in Wuhan.(Pictured/AP Photo/Ng Han Guan) But he believes it was unintentional, likely a product of “gross incompetence.” What was intentional, in Trump’s mind, was the decision by Chinese leaders to allow its citizens to travel globally, which spread the pandemic. Trump has called for countries to cancel their debts to China as part of a down payment on a future reparations plan that he suggests ought to total some $10 trillion.

Trump said COVID-19 has exacted prices and affected history in ways that may be hard to measure. Before the pandemic, he said, he “had a great relationship with” with Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping. But the “China virus killed all of that. … [It] killed a lot of people, it also killed my relationship [with Xi].”

Boycotting the 2022 China Olympics

Trump said he would not pull America out of the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing and neighboring Hebei province because it would be “unfair to the athletes.” (Pictured/AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)

Describing the Olympics as “peanuts,” Trump also suggested that  a boycott would be seen around the world as “sour grapes.”

“I see it both ways,” he added, “but I would not do that. … You go. You compete. You win.”

The Border and Central America Policy

Trump said the Biden administration has “totally lost control” of the U.S.-Mexico border. He also questions the wisdom of the  administration’s plan to provide several billion dollars in aid to the Central American countries (Pictured/ Cacahuate, amendments by Joelf/Wikimedia) from which immigrants are flowing. “I refused to give them money, and their signs [say], ‘We love Trump, Trump won.’ They’re booing [Vice President Kamala Harris].” Meanwhile, “instead of saying we’re not going to pay you, [the Biden administration is] giving them $4 billion.

“I treated them so tough, and they liked me,” he said, adding that the Biden administration “treats them weakly.”

The Durham Probe

Trump asked, rhetorically, about the status of the federal probe into the origins of Russiagate led by Special Counsel John Durham:(Pictured/Department of Justice via AP) “Where the hell is Durham? Is that an embarrassment, or what? I wonder if Durham’s ever even going to come out with a report.

“They have him scared,” Trump continued. “Probably come out with a bad report. When I heard that he was going to come out with a report sometime during the Biden administration, I said, ‘You gotta be kidding.’ It’s a disgrace. In the meantime, we don’t hear anything about him.”

During the interview, President Trump focused on the success of the candidates he endorsed, and his continued endorsements — while describing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as a “stupid bastard.” Trump also touted his efforts to facilitate vaccine development through Operation Warp Speed and roll it out in short order as perhaps his greatest achievement. He also emphasized his toughness in deal-making with friends and enemies alike.

Over the course of the more than hourlong session, Trump gave the distinct impression that he is itching to get into the presidential race in 2024.
