Bank failures, Global Totalitarianism, Canada goes Mao on Josh Alexander’s family: Links 2, May 7th, 2023

1. Another bank fails. So… yeah about that

2. Michael Shellenberger on the global totalitarianism landing on us all

(Pretty important to go to Thursday’s post on the CBC about Ezra’s FOIA to see how what he says applies and is even short of the mark)

3. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is stepping down from agency

(Hopefully they still keep a seat warm for her in the defendant’s bench for the next round of Nuremberg trials.)

Walensky took over at the beginning of Biden’s term in January 2021 as the administration began to roll out vaccines for Covid-19.

WASHINGTON — Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who has played a vital role in the administration’s pandemic response over the past two years, is leaving as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a job she has held since President Joe Biden came into office in January 2021.

Her departure was confirmed on Friday by the White House in a statement from Biden that said Walensky “has saved lives with her steadfast and unwavering focus on the health of every American.”

“As Director of the CDC, she led a complex organization on the frontlines of a once-in-a-generation pandemic with honesty and integrity. She marshalled our finest scientists and public health experts to turn the tide on the urgent crises we’ve faced,” Biden said.

The president continued, “Dr. Walensky leaves CDC a stronger institution, better positioned to confront health threats and protect Americans. We have all benefited from her service and dedication to public health, and I wish her the best in her next chapter.”

(Funny NBC’s description of her doesn’t really match up with the videos we have of what she said and what she did. Hopefully a real court that operates on law will determine who’s right on that. The real issue though is that they likely have another stooge ready to take her place that will advance the revolution farther.)

4. Ungrateful’ Afghan family of 10 reject large family home in the Netherlands due to its location

The family claims the one-hour journey from the large home in the rural Zeeland province to Rotterdam, where one child has semi-regular hospital appointments, is too far

A family of 10 Afghan asylum seekers in the Netherlands has refused to leave their hotel accommodation and move into a large family home located by the authorities because the location isn’t right for them.

The Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) found the Shinwari couple, who have eight children aged between 2 and 12, a large house in the Zeeland village of Sint-Annaland.

It was reportedly large enough for the couple to relocate from their current accommodation at a hotel in Rotterdam.

The couple, however, refused the housing offer because they believed it to be too far for them to travel from Sint-Annaland to Rotterdam where one of the children is currently receiving semi-regular treatment for a cleft lip.

The trip is a little over an hour by car, and the COA insisted the distance is reasonable and comfortably within the distance radius the agency uses when determining the suitability of social housing.

“Rotterdam is within 50 kilometers as the crow flies,” explained COA lawyer Guusje Dijkman at a court hearing on the matter in Almelo on Tuesday. “It took the COA an incredible amount of effort to find such a large rental house,” he added.

(See cause its funny that Dutch and other Western families rarely have 8 kids cause they just can’t afford it. Which makes one wonder what amazing skills this Afghan family has that they can get a job that allows them to clothe feed and send to school eight children. It’s almost like the Dutch government and the COMINTERN that rules them want the Dutch people and culture to go extinct by creating impossible conditions to sustain itself, while cynically using the word “sustainable” in order to take all they have and give aliens from hostile cultures a free ride in the Netherlands at the expense of the Dutch)

The Afghan family is now taking legal action to prevent their eviction from the hotel accommodation with the family’s lawyer warning that such a move would have “disproportionate” consequences for those involved. “If the family ends up in the homeless shelter, they will almost certainly not be able to stay together,” Reshma Sahebdien told the court.

(I wonder how far it was to the nearest comprable hospital in the village in Afghanistan where they are from?)

5. This is a little hard to believe. But on the Liberal Party of Canada website at https://liberal.ca/our-platform/mandatory-vaccination/ they advertise that if reelected, which kinda suggests they are spoiling for another election, they will mandate the vaxx. I know, right? Fight or flight. And this is before the echo of Trudeau’s claim that he never mandated the vaxx has died down.

To finish the fight against COVID-19, protect people at work, ensure businesses can get back up to speed, and, most importantly, make sure our kids can safely return to school, we need to do everything we can to keep public spaces safe.

A re-elected Liberal government will:

• Require that travellers on interprovincial trains, commercial flights, cruise ships, and other federally regulated vessels be vaccinated.

• Ensure vaccination across the federal public service. As the country’s largest employer, this will protect the health and safety of the federal public servants and their communities, across Canada.

• We will also keep working with employers in Crown corporations and federally regulated workplaces to ensure vaccination is prioritized for workers in these sectors.

Thank you all for reading the site and especially for those that gave replies to the posts here. The explanations and discussions are always so appreciated.

When they come after the families of counter-revolutionaries, they really have gone into undeniably Maoist territory.
