1. Something strange happened at the White House at around 2:20 AM ET

2. Senate Judiciary released declass docs on FISA, CrossFire Hurricane, and Trump Campaign surveillance

3. To understand how the Democrat claim that Trump incited anything is pure invention:

4. This is over FIVE HOURS stream about what appears to be a full military lock down of DC, including radio coms etc. I have no idea if any of this is true. Posting it so that people in the area can deny it. Presumably if it is true, people in the area may have difficulty confirming it. I have literally only listened to and watched the first few minutes.

5. US borders with Canada, Mexico to remain closed through Feb. 21

America’s borders with Canada and Mexico will remain closed for another month.

The Department of Homeland Security announced via tweet Tuesday that the U.S., Canada and Mexico have agreed to keep the borders closed through at least Feb. 21 as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen.

“In order to continue to prevent the spread of #COVID, the US, Mexico, Canada will extend the restrictions on non-essential travel through Feb. 21,” the DHS tweet said. “We are working closely with Mexico & Canada to keep essential trade & travel open while also protecting our citizens from the virus.”

Tuesday’s border closure extension is the final one issued by the Trump administration. In a subsequent tweet, DHS noted that it could be subject to further review by President-elect Joe Biden and his pick to head the agency, Alejandro Mayorkas.

6. 55 People Died in US After Receiving COVID-19 Vaccines: Reporting System

Fifty-five people in the United States have died after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, according to reports submitted to a federal system.

Deaths have occurred among people receiving both the Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, according to the reports.

The reporting system, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), is a federal database. The system is passive, meaning reports aren’t automatically collected and must be filed. VAERS reports can be filed by anyone, including health care providers, patients, or family members.

VAERS reports “often lack details and sometimes can have information that contains errors,” according to the reporting system’s website. Still, reports on VAERS represent “only a small fraction of actual adverse events,” the site states, though underreporting is believed to be less common for serious events.

7. Australians including health professionals speak out about the measures in place in Victoria

8. 23 die in Norway after receiving Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine: officials

(Is there something special about Norway which makes this mRNA treatment more dangerous? Or do they just have more honest reporting)

Twenty-three people died in Norway within days of receiving their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, with 13 of those deaths — all nursing home patients — apparently related to the side effects of the shots, health officials said.

Common reactions to the vaccine, including fever and nausea, “may have contributed to a fatal outcome in some frail patients,” Sigurd Hortemo, chief physician at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, said in a Friday statement

All 13 were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old. While officials aren’t expressing serious concern, they are adjusting their guidance on who should receive the vaccine. 

9. Dennis Prager also sees the Capitol Hill event as a Reichtag Fire. This is a link to a 40 minute video with Dennis on Epoch Times

On the heels of the breach of the U.S. Capitol, Big Tech companies have swiftly censored the President, the emerging social media platform Parler was effectively shut down, and there are growing calls for no-fly lists.

Does the assault on the Capitol warrant such a response?

“We’re living in a gigantic lie that is reminiscent of the Reichstag fire,” argues talk show host Dennis Prager, founder of Prager University.

This is American Thought Leaders, and I’m Jan Jekielek.

There is a great deal more to do today. Much more to come. Thank you all for your observant and keen eyes for what matters.

  1. I wonder just how the “honest” Wuhan flu mortality figures will match up to the eventual “vaccine” mortality figures in the end. May be it is just the second punch for those missed by the first: a eugenics spring cleaning attempt. But how many more are in the magazine?
    It’s moments like these that make paranoia seem justified.

    • Add to this the refusal in many places to allow the prescribing of HCQ as a treatment, the refusal to publicise the importance of Zn+ and Vit D levels in fighting the virus, especially WRT the elderly and it seems to me that this has been a deliberate attempt at mass murder as surely there cannot be that many fools, both political and scientific, all over the west. That is unless the meritocracy is already dead an buried.

    • The left is worried about over population at a time when the population is declining, they are returning to the goals stated by the Fabian Socialist in Europe where the elderly are put to death once they are no longer contributing to the society. Zeke Emanual says everyone should die before they are 75 because after that they are a drag on society.

  2. It was the “first time troops have bivouacked in the Capitol since the US Civil War” in the 1860s, a House security official told Bloomberg News.

    But Maj. Renee Lee, a spokeswoman for the DC National Guard, told US News: “This area of the Capitol has been designated a rest area for National Guard members when they are on duty but between shifts. To be clear, this is not where they are lodging when off-duty.”

  3. Windsor, Ontario Mayor Joins Faamily in Denouncing Ganatchio Trail Killer at Sentencing Hearing

    This was a very brutal, vicious, unprovoked attack against a 75 year old woman.

    Habibullah Ahmadi was found guilty of second-degree murder. He randomly attacked Sara on October 8, 2017 as she walked alone on the Ganatchio Trail picking up litter.
    Ahmadi was 21, Sara was 75.

    Second-degree murder carries an automatic sentence of life.
    Tuesdays hearing focused on when Ahmadi, the barbarian should be eligible for parole.

    Suffering from a skull fracture, a fractured vertebrae, multiple brain hemorrhages, broken ribs, a blood clot on her brain, Sara remained in a coma for 14 months before she died.

    LEAVE HIM IN PRISON FOR LIFE, show him the same compassion he showed Sara Anne Widholm, let him rot there.
