US House Fails to Elect New Speaker Amid Republican Infighting

Republican Jim Jordan, the co-founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, did not garner enough support from his own party.

On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives failed to elect a new speaker in the first round of voting amid continued Republican infighting, as the House remained paralyzed two weeks after the historical ouster of Kevin McCarthy.

In a full-chamber vote Tuesday afternoon, right-wing Republican Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and the Republican nominee for speaker, didn’t garner enough support from his own party, with 20 Republican defections imperiling his speaker bid.

REPUBLICAN INFIGHTING

Jordan, co-founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, is considered a far-right figure within the Republican party and has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

Jordan won 200 votes from the 220 Republicans present, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic nominee, received all 212 votes from his party, with both falling shy of the 217 majority needed to become the next House speaker.

Republican Representative Elise Stefanik, who touted Jordan’s leadership on the House floor, called the Ohio Republican a patriot and “an America First warrior who wins the toughest of fights.”

Democratic Representative Pete Aguilar, however, argued that handing the speaker’s gavel to “a vocal election denier” who incited violence in this chamber would be “a terrible message” at home and abroad.

Among the 20 Republican holdouts, six voted for former speaker Kevin Owen McCarthy, and seven voted for House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who previously won the Republican speakership nomination but failed to convince skeptics within the party and dropped out of the race.

Some Republicans were angry that McCarthy was ousted and Scalise was not supported by the whole conference. Others were worried that Jordan’s rise would boost the influence of right-wing hardliners in the party, and his confrontational style could cause further chaos, potentially leading to a government shutdown.

“I can’t get past the fact that a small group in our conference violated the rules to get rid of Kevin (McCarthy), and then blocked Steve (Scalise),” Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon said, noting that it’s “unacceptable” for a small minority of the majority dictating actions of the Republican conference.

The latest chaos came after the unprecedented ouster of McCarthy, who was booted out of his position two weeks ago, in a move initiated by a member of his own party, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who argued McCarthy had not “fulfilled his promises” to conservatives.

With a slim 221-212 Republican majority in the chamber, a Republican nominee can afford to lose only a few votes from fellow members in order to reach the majority threshold and win the gavel.

The House can’t move forward on its legislative process until a speaker is chosen, and lawmakers need to pass a spending bill before government funding runs out in mid-November. The House is also under pressure to take action amid the escalating Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

MORE CHAOS?

Speaker Pro Tempore Representative Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican, quickly called the chamber to recess after the first round of voting. Jordan could hold multiple rounds of voting to persuade Republican holdouts to fall in line with certain compromises, just as McCarthy won the speaker race after a grueling 4 days and 15 rounds of voting.

While some argued that a few Republicans were just demonstrating their discontent in the first vote, and could switch to Jordan on subsequent balloting, others expected a continuation of bitter party infighting, as moderates and right-wing hardliners find it hard to meet halfway, and a pressure campaign that has been unleashed on Republican holdouts by Jordan’s allies could backfire.

“It is hard to know how the Speaker race will go. Jordan lost 20 Republican votes on the first ballot, so it is not clear whether he can close the gap,” Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Darrell West told Xinhua.

“If Jordan becomes Speaker, it will signal Republicans putting a hardliner in charge of the House and someone who is used to confrontational politics. A number of Republican House members seem to have doubts about having a far-right member in charge,” said West.

The failed first ballot has prompted renewed discussions among lawmakers around a potential deal to give more power to McHenry, who is temporarily filling the speaker’s chair until House Republicans can coalesce and elect a new leader.

If Jordan ends up securing enough votes within the Republican party and winning the House speakership, a government shutdown could follow, according to some observers.

“It looks like ending the prosecution of Donald Trump will be his highest priority. That is not going to happen, so we could have a very long government shutdown, which will be bad news for the economy,” said Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.

Desmond Lachman, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former official at the International Monetary Fund, said that there is even less chance for bipartisan legislation than there was under McCarthy’s speakership.

“Among other things, this heightens the chances of a government shutdown at the end of the month as Mr. Jordan is likely to demand spending cuts unacceptable to the Democrats. My expectation is that under Jordan’s speakership, Congress will become even more dysfunctional than it has been over the past year,” Lachman said.

Financial Markets Realize Pfizer May Go Bankrupt

Igor Chudov

Pfizer’s Greed and Recklessness Will Catch Up with Them. That Happened to Purdue Pharma

SUMMARY: The stock market may be waking up to the possibility that Pfizer may go bankrupt due to the upcoming Covid vaccine claims. Many parallels can be drawn between the corporate behaviors of Pfizer and Purdue Pharma, another pharmaceutical concern that dishonestly and aggressively marketed harmful products. Purdue Pharma went bankrupt due to the greed and depravity of its leaders, as their “legal protections” evaporated. The same may happen to Pfizer.

Old, experienced vaccine companies like GSK refused to participate in “Covid vaccines” – and we now see why they made the right choice.

Take a look at this chart: Pfizer’s stock (PFE) is valued at 25% less than it was five years ago, despite the billions of dollars it received from the sales of COVID vaccines, and the stock market and the pharmaceuticals index having gone up:

At first sight, Pfizer, a worldwide pharmaceutical juggernaut, should not be worth less than before the pandemic. Pfizer’s COVID vaccine made it billions and should have added value to the company, even if future sales of COVID-19-specific products cannot be assured. And yet, PFE has inexorably fallen since last November and is worth 25% less than five years ago, defying the general upside tendencies seen for other pharmaceuticals and the stock market.

Since November of 2022, Pfizer has deviated from the trend of the pharmaceuticals index, underperforming by 35%.

This can only be explained by the capital markets seeing something uniquely troublesome for Pfizer. This post will explore what it may be.

I am far from the first person suggesting that Pfizer, which aggressively marketed its COVID vaccines and underwrote a worldwide influence operation to mandate its product, may face ruinous liabilities.

Ed Dowd, a former asset manager, was one of the first people to realize that. He explained that legal protection granted to Pfizer by the PREP act will cease to protect it if significant fraud on the part of Pfizer is discovered.

Purdue Pharma as a Blueprint to the Future of Pfizer

Purdue Pharma was a company making opioid-based pain relief medications. They were very addictive. Purdue was owned by the “Sackler family,” with the entire company leadership obsessed with maximizing sales of opioids and minimizing ethical concerns.

The story of Purdue Pharma, its relentless push towards higher doses of opioids given to patients to get them addicted, is much longer than the story of the Covid vaccines. This post is not the best place for a comprehensive history. The best quick introduction to the malfeasance of the Sackler family that owned Purdue Pharma is to read the PDF of the Massachusetts legal complaint.

The complaint reads like a detective story, full of sordid details about malfeasance in Purdue Pharma and the deaths that it caused.

The Sacklers and Purdue Pharma used the same playbook as Pfizer did by buying off the corrupt press to place favorable publications. Take a look at just one example: a paid article from the New York Times:

[…]

Greedy and Reckless Management at Purdue and Pfizer

Purdue Pharma and Pfizer have something in common: unethical, greedy, and reckless management, exemplified by the Sackler family and Albert Bourla, respectively.

Our friend Geert Vanden Bossche, a vaccine expert, details the reckless corporate behavior of Pfizer regarding COVID vaccines here:

I am sure many of you watched the recent expert hearing on DNA contamination of mRNA vaccines organized by the WCH: Urgent Expert Hearing on Reports of DNA Contamination in mRNA Vaccines (worldcouncilforhealth.org)to GSK, an established and more careful player. GSK refused to play the COVID vaccine game. They realized that nothing good could come out in the long run. GSK declined to expose themselves to the potential liability of endangering millions with a vaccine that was extremely unlikely even to work.

The maternal RSV vaccine story further highlights how reckless Pfizer is.

The NIH gave the blueprint for the RSV vaccine to both Pfizer and GSK. Both companies tested essentially the same product. Clinical trials revealed that giving the RSV vaccine to pregnant women increased premature births and infant mortality.

GSK, the established and conservative vaccine company, wisely heeded the alarm signal and abandoned the maternal RSV vaccine development. Instead of honestly terminating the program, Pfizer purposely selected small vaccine and placebo groups to make the premature birth signal statistically insignificant and lobbied the corrupt FDA to approve its vaccine.

With France planning to vaccinate 64 million ducks, is bird flu being weaponized?

Dr Mercola

Story at-a-glance

France plans to vaccinate 64 million ducks across 2,700 farms against bird flu, at a cost of $105 millionThe vaccination campaign, which is mandatory for farms with more than 250 ducks or those raising ducks for meat or foie gras, was launched in response to the country’s repeated outbreaks of bird flu since 2020Birds vaccinated for bird flu may not show signs of illness but could still transmit the virus, causing further circulation of the diseaseAs a result, the U.S. restricted the importation of poultry from France, as well as live ducks, duck eggs and untreated duck products from the European Union, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and NorwayBird flu is being painted as the next big pandemic, and the U.S. is testing avian flu vaccines for use in poultry and people

France plans to vaccinate 64 million ducks across 2,700 farms against bird flu. The vaccination campaign, which is mandatory for French farms with more than 250 ducks or those raising ducks for meat or foie gras, was launched in response to the country’s repeated outbreaks of bird flu since 2020.

If even a single case of the disease is found, an entire farmed population may be culled. Hundreds of millions of birds have already been killed as a result in the last two years.1

Officials have also turned up the fear-mongering, suggesting avian influenza could mutate, infect humans and turn into the next pandemic.2 The shots are estimated to cost $105 million, 85% of which will be paid by France3 — and that’s without factoring in the economic losses from import restrictions.

US Restricts French Poultry Imports

Due to the use of bird flu vaccines, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced it restricted the importation of poultry from France, as well as live ducks, duck eggs and untreated duck products from the European Union, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway.4 According to APHIS:5

“These restrictions are due to increased risk of introducing Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) into the United States … The restrictions … the result of France’s decision to vaccinate commercial meat ducks against HPAI. France’s decision to vaccinate presents a risk of introducing HPAI into the United States.

The United States does not currently allow the import of poultry from countries affected with HPAI or from flocks that have been vaccinated by HPAI. Vaccination of poultry against HPAI virus may mask HPAI virus circulating in poultry. Vaccinated birds may not show signs of HPAI infection, which could lead to the export of infected live animals or virus-contaminated products to the United States.”

Japan’s Agriculture Ministry also announced plans to suspend imports of poultry products from France due to the vaccination campaign.6 It’s interesting to note that, compared with chickens, ducks are typically resistant to avian influenza virus and don’t show symptoms.7

Duck and foie gras trade group CIFOG was in favor of the shots nonetheless, stating, “This vaccination plan … is a world-first: its goal is to protect all farmed birds and should put an end to the preventive slaughter of animals, which no one wants to live with anymore.”8 Yet, others weren’t receptive to the idea. One farmer told French news outlet AFP that her clients were “calling to tell me they don’t want meat from vaccinated ducks.”9

USDA Is Testing Bird Flu Vaccines

Most countries have been hesitant to vaccinate poultry against bird flu because it can hide symptoms of the illness, allowing the virus to circulate further.10 But the U.S., despite restricting imports of vaccinated poultry from France, has already begun avian influenza vaccination trials. In an April 2023 news release, the U.S. Department of Agriculture stated:11

“ARS [Agricultural Research Service] researchers are currently testing several vaccine candidates … Should the trials be successful, and should USDA elect to continue development, the next step is identifying manufacturers interested in vaccine production. Once one or more manufacturers are identified, there are 20 discrete stages to complete before vaccine delivery.

These stages begin with feasibility work by the manufacturer and culminates with product label submission and review. General timeframes are 2.5-3 years; however, in emergency situations manufacturers may expedite development, resulting in a shortened timeframe to licensure.

From vaccine development to production timelines, to dissemination to flocks, there are many factors that make implementing a vaccine strategy a challenge and it would take time to deliver an effective vaccine.

In a best case scenario, USDA estimates an 18-24 month timeline before having a vaccine that matches the currently circulating virus strain, is available in commercial quantities, and can be easily administered to commercial poultry.”

Further, back in 2015, the USDA granted a conditional license to Harrisvaccines for its RNA avian influenza vaccine against HPAI.12

Is Bird Flu Being Weaponized?

Nearly 15 years ago, I wrote my New York Times best-selling book “The Great Bird Flu Hoax.” President George Bush spent over $7 billion and warned that more than 2 million Americans could die.13 But no one in the U.S. died from bird flu, which was a fraud. Yet, here we are today, with governments still warning that bird flu could be the next big pandemic in humans.

Historically, natural avian influenza (H5N1) hasn’t posed a threat to mankind, but then scientists started tinkering with it, creating a hybrid with human pandemic potential.14 Some of that research has been undertaken in Pentagon-funded biolabs in Ukraine.15

Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have also funded gain-of-function research on H5N1.16 One scientist whose work on H5N1 has been funded by both Fauci and Gates is Yoshihiro Kawaoka, Ph.D.17

In one experiment, Kawaoka mixed bird flu virus with the Spanish flu virus, resulting in a highly lethal respiratory virus with human transmission capability. Kawaoka has also played around with mixtures of H5N1 and the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) virus, creating an airborne hybrid capable of evading the human immune system, effectively rendering humans defenseless against it.18,19,20

Further, in a March 30, 2022, CenterPoint interview, former director for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, more than hinted at the possibility of a coming bird flu pandemic, stating, “I believe the great pandemic is still in the future, and that’s going to be a bird flu pandemic for man. It’s going to have significant mortality in the 10% to 50% range. It’s gonna be trouble.”21

Meanwhile, bird flu is also affecting mammals at a rate not previously seen, including skunks, bears, seals, foxes, minks and even dolphins.22 Gavi, which was founded by the Gates Foundation in partnership with WHO, is using this as propaganda for why “bird flu vaccines need urgent R&D.”23 According to Gavi:

“In general, bird flu doesn’t infect people easily — the virus binds to receptors in the upper airways of birds that are not as common in mammalian upper airways, which means it is much harder for infected mammals to spread it. Those affected tend to have been in close contact with the animals, such as farm workers, and it doesn’t easily spread between people.

However, the fact that the current global H5N1 bird flu outbreak has caused such large die-offs and has started to spread in small mammals means that some scientists are concerned that the virus could evolve to spread more easily among human beings, potentially triggering another pandemic.”

Given the increasing rhetoric from globalists that a bird flu pandemic is coming, if we do end up with a lethal human bird flu, there’s every reason to suspect it was manmade. There’s also every reason to suspect a bird flu vaccine will be either ineffective, hazardous or both.

Bird Flu Shots in the Works for People ‘Just in Case’

Even though “bird flu doesn’t infect people easily,”24 and human cases are “very rare”25 with low risk of transmission, three vaccine manufacturers — GSK, Moderna and CSL Seqirus — are developing or ready to test bird flu shots in people. A fourth company, Sanofi, said they have existing bird flu vaccine strains and “stand ready” to ramp up production.26

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), which was founded in 2017 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Economic Forum and Wellcome, among others, is already setting the stage for a rush on bird flu shots. “We could potentially have a much worse problem with vaccine hoarding and vaccine nationalism in a flu outbreak than we saw with COVID,” Dr. Richard Hatchett, CEPI’s chief executive, told Reuters.27

Why should you be wary of CEPI’s warning? As The Highwire reported, “CEPI is a global syndicate of public-private organizations whose mission is to highlight pandemic threats, continuously prepare for the next “Disease X,” and advance vaccines.”28

Moderna already launched trials of an mRNA pandemic flu shot targeting avian influenza and also said it could produce such vaccines “very quickly” if an outbreak occurs.29

Should Governments Need a Warrant To Spy on You With a Drone?

(Illustration: Lex Villena; Pojoslaw)

Joe Lancaster
Michigan Supreme Court will hear opening arguments today in a case that could decide whether the practice is allowed.

A Michigan township sued a local family over a minor zoning violation, but the case could determine whether governments can spy on citizens without warrants. Today, the Michigan Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on the case.

Todd and Heather Maxon live in Long Lake Township, on five acres of land with two garages. Todd likes to work on cars, so he keeps some on the property. In 2008, the township sued, accusing them of storing “junk,” a zoning violation. In exchange for dropping the charges, the couple agreed not to expand their collection. Neighbors later complained that the Maxons had indeed acquired more cars, but the collection was not visible from the road.

Instead of getting a warrant—or, since nothing was visible from the road, dropping the issue altogether—the township hired a private drone company to fly over the property and take pictures several times between 2010 and 2018. Citing the pictures, the township sued the Maxons for violating the agreement.

The Maxons argued that since the township never sought a warrant, the pictures violated their Fourth Amendment rights. While the Michigan Court of Appeals agreed, the state Supreme Court remanded the case back and asked the appeals court to determine “whether the exclusionary rule applies to this dispute.” Under the exclusionary rule, evidence obtained illegally cannot be used at trial.

This time, the court of appeals sided with the township. It agreed that the search was a violation of the Maxons’ Fourth Amendment rights but decided that it didn’t matter since the case was civil and not criminal. “The exclusionary rule was not intended to operate in this arena, and serves no valuable function,” Chief Judge Elizabeth Gleicher wrote, adding, “The exclusionary rule is intended to deter police misconduct, not that of lower-level bureaucrats who have little or no training in the Fourth Amendment.”

Gleicher contended that the Maxons could sue the township in civil court for the Fourth Amendment violation but that the evidence should remain free to use against them at trial, as “the social cost of excluding evidence in a case such as this would be substantial…as a public nuisance would potentially remain unabated.”

Today, the Michigan Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Long Lake Township v. Maxon. The court has the chance to decide whether a municipal government can circumvent constitutional protections by farming out the task to a private company.

Oddly, the case is not so straightforward as deciding whether or not warrantless drone surveillance is constitutional; in fact, the appeals court ruled explicitly that it was not. But it also said that excluding any evidence gathered would be inappropriate, so the state Supreme Court can functionally determine whether local governments can do this and get away with it.

Multiple civil liberty advocacy organizations have submitted amicus briefs on behalf of the Maxons. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the ACLU of Michigan, and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a free market think tank based in Michigan, jointly filed a brief in September. The organizations argued that “if the Township gets its way, it will not only profit from its privacy violations, but open the door to other local governments deploying cheap, pervasive, flying surveillance devices to surveil private property for the smallest of civil infractions.”

“The exclusionary remedy—whether in criminal or civil enforcement cases like this one—is, in practice, the only reliable incentive modern officials have to take care that Fourth Amendment rights are respected,” argued the Institute for Justice, a nonprofit public-interest law firm, in its own brief. “Without consequences for arbitrary invasions into those rights, no one can be secure in their person, house, papers, or effects.”

The Cato Institute called the township’s search “manifestly unreasonable” as it was “conducted without judicial supervision and with no justification for failing to procure a warrant other than mere convenience.”

Vaccine Stocks—Including Pfizer, Moderna, BioNTech And Novavax—Slide Amid Plummeting Demand

Robert Hart

Forbes

Topline

Stocks of Pfizer and other Covid vaccine makers like BioNTech and Moderna fell in premarket trading Monday after the company slashed its revenue forecasts last week, a change in fortune for the sector as demand for the pandemic-related products that propelled them to record profits last year plummets.

Key Facts

Pfizer shares fell 3.11% during premarket trading on Monday.

Shares of Germany’s BioNTech, which jointly developed the Comirnaty coronavirus shot with Pfizer, were down 6.57% in Frankfurt, falling to a two-month low.

The German biotech’s U.S.-listed shares were also down 6.41% in premarket trading.

Shares of rival mRNA vaccine maker Moderna also fell 4.45% in premarket trading.

Shares of Novavax, which has faced setbacks in getting its updated protein-based shot approved, were also down 4.54% on Monday.

News Peg

Pfizer slashed its annual revenue forecast by 13% on Friday due to sliding demand for its Covid-19 products. Sales of the firm’s mRNA shot, produced jointly with BioNTech, and its antiviral drug Paxlovid helped it secure record profits last year but the firm has long warned about sliding demand as the world, and particularly the U.S., exits the pandemic this year.

The company cut its projections for Paxlovid by $7 billion and by around $2 billion for its Covid shots, which was greater than analysts expected. Pfizer said it was launching a $3.5 billion cost-cutting program covering jobs and expenses as it prepares for the hit to its revenues.

Pfizer said it would take a write down of $5.5 billion in the third quarter due to shrinking demand for its Covid stock, most of which comes from inventory write-offs of Paxlovid worth $4.6 billion. The company also acknowledged a $900 million write off from Covid vaccine stock, a write-off BioNTech also flagged on Monday on account of its profit sharing agreement with Pfizer.

What To Watch For

Moderna will report its quarterly earnings on November 2. While Moderna is leveraging its success during the pandemic to develop a wide array of medicines, treatments and vaccines for things including Lyme disease, the flu, HIV, RSV, Zika, norovirus and genetic conditions, its Covid-19 vaccines are its only commercial product and it is particularly vulnerable to sliding demand.

Pharma/EU Cabal Set Trap For Reiner Füellmich

“The first legal volley over MRNA jabs came from German/American attorney, Reiner Füellmich—a hero to all free people“

By Howell Woltz

Richardson Post.

As I told our mutual friend, Elsa Schieder of Truth Summit (above) when she shared this news of Reiner’s arrest yesterday, “I’m just surprised he stayed free this long.  The Globalist who tried to kill us really hate Reiner Füellmich.”

The hapless Olaf Sholz and his government in Germany are as popular as Monkey Pox in a gay bath house so they have to shut down the facts now revealed that the vaccine they forced on their people has killed far more than the Wuhan virus.

The data has shockingly revealed that the vaccinated population accounted for 95% of COVID-19 deaths in the 12 months between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023.

[…]

They must suppress the truth of these 17 million deaths—and anyone telling it—which is why they plotted to destroy Reiner Füellmich.

Reiner and his wife lost their passports and visas while travelling in Mexico, so they applied at the German Embassy in Tijuana for replacements.

When they came to the embassy to collect the documents, however, Reiner’s wife was allowed to go free—but he was arrested on warrants from two of Pfizer’s largest beneficiaries of these crimes against humanity—Germany and the the E.U.!

[…]

The accuser being used by the European Union and the German government, is Viviane Fischer, a little known attorney, made famous through her association with Reiner Füellmich’s exposure of German and E.U. crimes.

AND THIS IS WHERE THEY ALWAYS CUT A DEAL

I worked on over 400 criminal federal cases and literally wrote the book on such judicial crimes, Justice Denied: the United States v. The People—so I know the drill.
First, the target is identified, second, a crime is fabricated or found, then ‘witnesses’ are groomed to say what needs to be said in court

Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria was known to tell Josef Stalin when he needed some pesky truth teller removed, “Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime,” and off to the gulag he or she went.

That is precisely how this still works in America and Europe, which learned a great deal from Stalin and his Soviet Union, unfortunately.

The ‘crime’ used to arrest Reiner Füellmich is an allegation that 1.35 million Euro is missing from a three-person account used to prosecute their cases against the government(s) and pharma companies.

So it seems the prosecutors cut a deal and turned the lovely Viviane against her mentor, putting her on every media outlet they can find to claim that Reiner Füellmich stole money from the cause which he personally founded.

There is just one problem with the case (they never intended to bring to trial) and thanks to some digging, the truth has escaped which will require its dismissal.

The money is still in the account.

I would bet tuppence to Pound Sterling that Viviane has been offered immunity from this yet to occur crime, in agreement to read their script against one of the finest people in the truth community, Dr. Reiner Füellmich.

COINCIDENCE THAT THE GLOBALIST/PHARMA CABAL CHOSE THIS MOMENT TO TAKE OUT DR. FÜELLMICH?

ICS 4 will present evidence that can place all the participants of this crime against humanity in the docks of Dr. Füellmich’s NUREMBURG 2.0.

Better, that truth will be revealed in Bucharest, Romania next month—a place the Globalist do not (yet) control.

ICS 3, which was held at the European Parliament on May 3rd of this year in Brussels, as example, has been viewed over 4 billion times to give you some idea of how scared these criminals are becoming.

When four billion of the roughly seven billion people on the planet—many of whom have limited means of communication—know that you are a bloodthirsty killer who wantonly poisoned the world, where are you going to hide?

Your only choice is to attack those telling the truth—by telling lies about them.

But it won’t work in the end.  The truth is out now and they are doomed, especially after ICS 4 next month in Romania.

Dr. Füellmich will go down as a hero in this fight—and we will win in the end—but I beg all to pray for this fine man, Reiner Füellmich, while he is in the devil’s den.

Israel Fears War of Attrition in Gaza

Lucas Leiroz

InfoBRICS

Israel continues to postpone its long-awaited ground attack on the Gaza Strip. Despite brutal bombings against civilian facilities and the criminal siege imposed on the Palestinian people, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) appear to be avoiding launching an infantry offensive, repeatedly postponing plans to enter ground troops into Palestinian territory. Zionist propagandists and militants believe that this would be a type of “gesture of goodwill” on the part of Tel Aviv, but it is more likely that Israel is afraid of the strong impacts that such an attack would have on its forces.

On October 13, the Israeli government issued an ultimatum to the Palestinian population in the north of the Gaza Strip. According to the Israeli statement, civilians in the region had twenty-four hours to evacuate their homes. After the end of this period, a massive Israeli infantry assault would begin.

Obviously, it was not possible to remove all civilians from the zone, as the time established was too short. Furthermore, Gaza’s roads are severely damaged by Israeli bombings, making it even more difficult for citizens to escape. However, after the evacuation deadline ended, the IDF, instead of launching its offensive, gave a few additional hours to complete the evacuation.

No matter how many hours or days were given to the Palestinian people, all efforts to completely evacuate civilians would be futile. With the region devastated by bombings and poor transportation conditions, such a process could only be completed over a very long period of time – perhaps weeks or months. In addition, there are many people who cannot go out, such as babies in incubators as well as the elderly and injured undergoing medical treatment. Local hospitals have already reported that if the evacuation takes place many people will die, but this does not seem enough to make Israel rethink its anti-humanitarian tactics.

This serious situation mobilized the non-Western world to act diplomatically against Israel. The Russian government compared the case to the Nazi siege imposed on the Soviets during the WWII. And, acting in a militarily bold manner, the Iranian government warned Tel Aviv about possible consequences if the IDF entered Gaza by land – suggesting that such a move could legitimize Iranian intervention in the conflict.

On Saturday October 14, Israel announced that its offensive had been postponed for weather reasons, using the rains and floods that occurred in the country over the weekend as an excuse to avoid military escalation. Although it is possible that the weather influenced Israeli military decision-making, it is likely that fear of Iranian engagement was the real reason for Tel Aviv to rethink its strategy. A fact that supports this argument is the Israeli insistence on postponing the offensive, even though the weather conditions improved rapidly in the region the following day.

Some Tel Aviv’s propagandists and Zionist militants also try to portray the postponement as a kind of “diplomatic goodwill”, but this does not seem to make sense. Israel has been bombing and besieging Gaza for over a week and committing countless atrocities and human rights violations. There is no reason to believe that there is any concern for the well-being of Palestinian civilians on the part of the Israeli government – which, despite postponing the ground offensive, continues to prevent water, food and medicine from reaching Gaza.

What appears to be happening is simply a wave of fear in Tel Aviv. A ground assault will automatically start a war of attrition, which will certainly be prolonged, exhausting and dangerous for the IDF. Israeli strategists fear that their forces will enter a vicious cycle of direct conflict and violence that will not end soon, culminating in a protracted war that will severely affect the stability of the region.

Despite being incomparably stronger than its Palestinian enemies, Israel’s defense system appears to be a “paper tiger” if analyzed in depth. The country has few material and human resources to engage in exhausting conflicts. It is no coincidence that there is a compulsory conscription system in Israel for all the nationals. With a population of nine million inhabitants, Israel needs to use practically all of its citizens to keep the military machine functioning at adequate security standards.

The country does not have the necessary structure to keep civil society operating while there is a conflict. Israel can easily defeat weaker regional enemies in short-term confrontations, but tends to have many problems in protracted situations. And there are enough reasons to believe that a war in Gaza would be long. Without enough space to develop militarily on the surface, Hamas invested heavily in the building of bunkers and underground channels through which its soldiers transport people and equipment. The IDF could invade and occupy many territories, but would still be vulnerable to Hamas’ guerrilla tactics, forming a kind of “Vietnam scenario”.

Furthermore, Iran’s warning is worrying. Even if it does not send its regular troops, Tehran could help the Palestinians by mobilizing its proxy forces, such as Hezbollah (which is already de facto involved in the war) and Yemen’s Houthis, increasing the Palestinians’ firepower significantly. There is also the diplomatic and economic factor, with Islamic and anti-Western countries mobilizing strongly to pressure Tel Aviv to stop its aggression.

In fact, it appears that the Israeli government has set itself into a spiral of problems. If it invades Gaza, there will be many risks, but if it cancels the invasion, Netanyahu will be demoralized for not fulfilling his promise. In practice, it seems that even though it is militarily weaker, Hamas is managing to use the non-military factor of the conflict to gain an advantage against the enemy in an asymmetric clash – which is not decided on the front lines. Palestine is trying to win the war even though it loses the battles.

1215 Japan and Samurai Culture

Episode 24 Japan and Samurai Culture

1215: Years That Changed History

Dr Dorsey Armstrong (2019)

Film Review

In this lecture, Armstrong explores how the Mongol capture of Beijing resulted in major political changes in Japan.

Following the Mongol takeover of the Jurchin Jin empire, many Buddhist monks headed east for Korea and Japan. Owing to China’s major influence over Korean and Japanese culture, Buddhism first arrived in Japan from Korea in the 6th century.

During the 11th century, Japan was essentially a feudal society, with the emperor endowing samurai (knights) with land in return for military service. In 1185, the first shogun (ie military ruler) came to power.* Although the emperor also continued to rule, he was little more than a figurehead.

By 1215 the samurai, who supported the shogun’s rise to power experienced a considerable increase in status, surpassing the traditional status of the emperor’s civil servants. The rise of the shogunate and the samurai was accompanied by advances in military technology, the development of a land-based economy, a gradual replacement of traditional Shintoism** with Buddhism and a decline in the status of women.

This period also saw the evolution of multiple Buddhist sects in Japan. All were in continual conflict with one another:

Sohei Buddhism – which allowed warriors to become BuddhistsZen Buddhism – which endeavored to achieve serenity through meditationPure Land Buddhism – which promoted the belief that salvation was based on belief in a celestial Buddha figuredYechuwin Buddhism – which taught enlightenment was achieved by studying a text known as the Lotus Sutra.

In 1274, Genghis Khan’s grandson Kubla Khan tried to invade Japan. At the hands of the samurai, he experienced his biggest losses ever.

The Kamakura period in which the samurai held the balance of power ended in civil war in 1333. Defeat by the emperor’s army lead 870 samurai to commit suicide.

The Japanese nobility continued to engage samurai as private mercenaries until 1870, when modern military technology made them obsolete.

*In 1185, the samurai victory in the Gempei war led the emperor to appoint them to four-year terms as magistrates. Over time, powerful samurai ceased to relinquish the role after four years and claimed it as a hereditary right.

**Shintoism was an animist religion involving multiple gods and spirits linked to natural forces, such as mountains, forests, the sea, fertility, etc. and ancestor worship.

 

Animal Contraceptives and Antibiotics in Popular Fast Foods

By  Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

Kids may unknowingly be consuming an animal contraceptive when they eat a chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A, according to a Moms Across America’s (MAA) report on veterinary drugs and hormones found in food served in the most popular U.S. fast food restaurants.

The nonprofit MAA this month released results from food samples tested for veterinary drugs, including antibiotics and hormones. Health Research Institute, a Fairfield, Iowa, nonprofit independent lab, conducted the testing.

The results showed that a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich contained nicarbazin, an antiparasitic that also functions as a bird contraceptive.

Sixty percent of samples from the U.S.’ top 10 fast food chains also contained the antibiotic monensin, which can cause severe harm in humans and remains unapproved for human use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Zen Honeycutt, MAA’s founder and executive director, called the results “shocking” and “disturbing,” especially because some fast food chains supply school lunches.

Honeycutt and other healthy food advocates on Oct. 17 will present the test results to U.S. lawmakers during a congressional briefing on U.S. food toxicity.

“Thirty million school meals are served to our children each day,” Honeycutt told The Defender, “and for millions of underprivileged children, these toxic meals are their only access to nutrition.” She added:

“The impact of millions of Americans, especially children and young adults, consuming a known animal contraceptive daily is concerning.

“With infertility problems on the rise, the reproductive health of this generation is front and center for us, in light of these results.”

Commenting on MAA’s fast food testing initiative, attorney Michael Baum, a senior partner at Wisner Baum said:

“Toxins like the ones Moms Across America’s testing found in major fast foods don’t belong in anybody’s food, especially children’s food.

“Repeated exposure to them can build up and cause unexpected harms — kudos to Moms Across America for getting this testing done and published.”

Under Baum’s leadership, the law firm has won billions of dollars in consumer fraud and product liability cases against major pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, including Bayer Corp. (formerly Monsanto), Eli Lilly, Forest Labs, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer and more.

Baum added, “These fast food companies should now take steps to eliminate the toxins from what they offer kids and adults to eat.”

Infectious disease specialist: antibiotics in fast food samples ‘concerning’

Health Research Institute tested samples from Taco Bell, Chipotle, Dunkin’, Wendy’s, Domino’s, Burger King, Subway, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A and McDonald’s.

Only products from Chipotle and Subway had no detectable levels of veterinary drugs and hormones.

Testing found monensin, an antibiotic used to increase milk production in dairy cows, in: McDonald’s Big Mac, Burger King’s Quarter Pounder, Domino’s extra pepperoni pizza, Wendy’s Cheeseburger, Dunkin’s sausage, egg and cheese Breakfast Sandwich and Taco Bell’s Beef Taco Supreme.

The Dunkin’ sandwich, the Domino’s pizza and Starbucks’ Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich had traces of narasin, an antibiotic used in livestock and poultry. Wendy’s Cheeseburger also contained a substantial amount of narasin.

Monensin and narasin are antibiotic ionophores that work by increasing the ion permeability of cell membranes. They are primarily used to prevent coccidiosis, an intestinal parasitic infection.

Dr. Dimitri Drekonja, an infectious diseases specialist and associate professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota, found it “concerning” that multiple fast food products contained ionophores. He told The Defender:

“People should worry about any unnecessary antibiotic use, whether in humans or animals, in that all use selects for more resistant organisms, some of which ultimately end up causing human infections.”

“While I would prefer it be zero,” Drekonja said he was “encouraged” to see that only three of the 104 drugs tested for were present in the samples.

Nicarbazin — the drug found in Chick-fil-A’s chicken sandwich — is also used for treating coccidiosis in meat birds, and for preventing reproduction in geese and pigeons.

A 2005 report on food safety control in the poultry industry noted the drug had “been on the market for decades” but recently was “prohibited due to incomplete toxicological data.”

However, as of June 7, the FDA allows nicarbazin for use in poultry to prevent coccidiosis and “for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency.”

Chick-fil-A did not immediately respond to The Defender’s request for comment on its use of nicarbazin in its chickens.

Who’s Behind the Plot to Push Farmers Off Their Land?

By  Dr. Joseph Mercola

As small and mid-sized farms close their doors, governments and corporate entities can scoop up the land — is it all part of Agenda 2030 and the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals?

Story at a glance:

A war against farmers has emerged, threatening to push them off the land they’ve farmed for generations.As small and mid-sized farms close their doors, governments and corporate entities can scoop up the land.Those in control of the land control the food supply and, along with it, the peopleMuch of this threat is cloaked under Agenda 2030, which includes 17 sustainable development goals with 169 specific targets to be imposed across the globe, in every country, by 2030.The push to eat insects is part of this plan; in 2021, the European Commission authorized mealworms as food, releasing a news release touting “the growing role that insects will play as part of a healthier, more sustainable diet.”

Are green policies around the world, targeting everything from too much nitrogen to the protection of endangered species, all part of a plan to get small farmers off the land, paving the way for totalitarian control of the food supply — and insects as part of your daily diet?

These and other tough questions are posed by Roman Balmakov, Epoch Times reporter and host of Facts Matter, in “No Farmers No Food: Will You Eat the Bugs?”

Balmakov says:

“The people in charge of some of the most powerful organizations on the planet have determined that agriculture, specifically animal agriculture is to blame for global warming, and global warming is to blame for the high prices of food as well as food shortages.

“And so by switching our diets from beef, chicken and pork, to crickets and mealworms, we’ll be able to stop temperatures from rising, lower the price of food and possibly to even save the planet.”

But in interviews with farmers around the world, including in Holland and Sri Lanka, a very different story is told, one that began with a decades-old environmental policy.

Watch the full documentary here.

Agenda 2030 threatens farmers

In 1972, a United Nations (U.N.) meeting about climate change was held to come up with a plan to manage the planet in a sustainable manner.

This led to the creation of Agenda 21 (Agenda for the 21st Century) — the inventory and control plan for all land, water, minerals, plants, animals, construction, means of production, food, energy, information, education and all human beings in the world.

Agenda 21 is now more commonly referred to as Agenda 2030, the year the plan’s goals are slated to be met.

In 2019, the World Economic Forum (WEF) entered into a strategic alliance with the U.N., which called for the U.N. to “use public-private partnerships as the model for nearly all policies that it implements, most specifically the implementation of the 17 sustainable development goals.”

Agenda 2030 is composed of these 17 sustainable development goals with 169 specific targets, including ending poverty and achieving gender equality, to be imposed across the globe, in every country, by 2030.

“Very comprehensive document if you read it,” says international journalist Alex Newman. “We’re talking hundreds of pages governing really every facet of life, everything from education to land use policy to economics to law. Every area of life was found there.”

But hidden underneath these green-sounding initiatives, Newman says, may be a more sinister motive:

“There is absolutely no way for the sustainable development goals to be implemented, to be tracked, to be monitored, without the total obliteration of individual freedom. Some of the goals sound nice — ending hunger, who could possibly be against ending hunger?

“The problem is, when you set a nebulous goal like that, it requires total power from the state to be able to accomplish that.

“And of course, they will never accomplish that, right? There is no way to literally eradicate all poverty from the face of the Earth, but it gives government and global institutions, like the U.N., an easy excuse to basically do whatever they want under the guise of meeting these goals.”

Is the nitrogen crisis real?

Dutch farmers are in crisis as their government has stepped up plans to move them off the land. You can hear about this in-depth via Dutch investigative journalist Elze van Hamelen’s report and podcast for The Solari Report — Dutch Farmers and Fishermen: The People Who Feed Us.

“In 2021, the European Union’s Natura 2000 network released a map of areas in the Netherlands that are now protected against nitrogen emissions. Any Dutch farmer who operates their farm within 5 kilometers of a Natura 2000 protected area would now need to severely curtail their nitrogen output, which in turn would limit their production,” Balmakov explains.

Dutch dairy farmer Nynke Koopmans with the Forum for Democracy believes the nitrogen problem is made up. “It’s one big lie,” she says. “The nitrogen has nothing to do with environmental. It’s just getting rid of farmers.”

Another farmer said if new nitrogen rules go into effect, he’d have to reduce his herd of 58 milking cows down to six.

Nitrogen scientist Jaap C. Hanekamp was working for a government committee to study nitrogen, tasked with analyzing the government’s nitrogen model.

He told Balmakov:

“The whole policy is based on the deposition model about how to deal with nitrogen emissions on nature areas. And I looked at the validation studies and show that the model is actually crap. It doesn’t work.

“And doesn’t matter. They still continue using it, which is, in a sense, unsettling. I mean, really, can we do such a thing in terms of policy? Use a model which doesn’t work? It’s never about innovation, it’s always about getting rid of farmers.”

The ultimate agenda: no land ownership for the people

As farmers shut down, the government can swoop in and take the land, which may be what the agenda is really about.

According to Eva Vlaardingerbroek, former member of Forum for Democracy and a political commentator:

“I’ve always said that the nitrogen crisis is, first of all, a made-up crisis. It’s manufactured, and the only solution that has ever been proposed is forced expropriation. So, it is the government that will take hold of their land … We have a housing crisis in the Netherlands, as you know, this is a very tiny country.

“We have a lot of people, and we have a growing population because of immigration. And we need places to house those immigrants.

“And I think that that’s partly why the government wants that land. They need houses, and they need to build houses, which is funny, because apparently building houses is also what emits nitrogen.

“But that’s not the people they’re coming after. They’re coming, specifically, after the farmers because they want the land. So that is the ultimate goal.”

But it’s not only farmers in the Netherlands who are being affected. In 2020, California became the first U.S. state to commit to a 30 by 30 goal, pledging to put 30% of its land and water under government control by 2030.

But as Margaret Byfield, executive director of American Stewards of Liberty, says, this paves the way for private land ownership to disappear:

“The concept in America is self-rule. We the People will rule our government and our Founding Fathers understood that the small landholder is the most important part of the state.

“The idea was that the land would be distributed among the people so they could always control their government. California has developed a 30 by 30 plan. They’re pushing 30 by 30 in the state …

“The ultimate agenda is that there is no ownership of land so that we don’t own anything. We either own property, or we are property. That’s really what we’re fighting from the global governance perspective.

“They have to eliminate our ability to control our government, which means they have to take our land.”

Other seemingly sustainable government regulations may also be wrapped up in this plan. Rep. Doug LaMalfa, farmer and California representative, explains:

“A lot of this came about in the early ‘70s Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, which were good things, you know, the Endangered Species Act, but it’s been abused from what the original intent was.

“Congress did not intend for it to be abused the way it is and manipulated. The way it is these days, when they wrote those bills, they would have never passed them.”

The globalists have it all planned out

Much of the new world order’s plans are based on crisis management and the idea that a great crisis will occur that will lead to the great transition, where globalists will swoop in to save the day, transforming society into the promised paradise. “At some point down the line, the narrative changed to be around climate,” Balmakov says.

Prior to this, it was the Cold War, but this changed after a 1991 Club of Rome meeting. Both the Rockefellers and early WEF affiliations can be tied back to the Club of Rome, a think tank that aligned with neo-Malthusianism — the idea that an overly large population would decimate resources — and intended to implement a global depopulation agenda.

Bring on the bugs

Globalists suggest eating bugs will protect the planet by eliminating the need for livestock, cutting down on agricultural land use and protecting the environment.

The U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization also encourages the consumption of insects and insect-based foods.

In July 2021, WEF also published an article, categorized under “food security,” in which they promote the use of insects, writing we “need to give insects the role they deserve in our food systems.”

They justify this proposal by saying it will address an impending food crisis.

In 2021, the European Commission authorized mealworms as food, releasing a news release touting “the growing role that insects will play as part of a healthier, more sustainable diet, as well as the benefits for the environment for years to come.”
