  1. Tucker Breaks the Internet Again with Massive Tweet about New Show
    will May 13, 2023 SHARE
    Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host whose separation from Fox News infuriated many former fans of the network, has once again broken the internet. He did so with his latest Twitter video, one in which he discussed his plans to make a “new version” of his popular Fox News show, ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ on Twitter.

    In fact, the video generated a massive 22.9 million views within just 24 hours of being uploaded. And as of the morning this article was written the video had garnered 127.8 million views, blowing, like his last video, Fox News Channel’s ratings out of the water.

  8. BOOM! President Trump Tells General Mike Flynn that He’s “Bringing Him Back” Live on Stage at Reawaken Tour in Florida – AMAZING VIDEO
    By Jim Hoft May. 14, 2023 8:00 am9 Comments

    This was terrific.

    General Mike Flynn spoke at the pro-Trump ReAwaken Tour this weekend in at Doral International in Miami, Florida. General Flynn spoke with former Trump adviser Peter Navarro and Kash Patel.

    At one point during the event on Saturday, President Trump called General Flynn while he was speaking on stage. President Trump told General Flynn, “Well, General, you just have to stay healthy because we’re bringing you back.”

  9. “That Is the Definition of Election Rigging” – Kash Patel: CIA Broke Federal Law by Organizing, Sponsoring and Pushing the Bogus Hunter Biden Laptop Petition During 2020 Presidential Election
    By Jim Hoft May. 14, 2023 7:45 am39 Comments

    Former Trump adviser and chief of staff to the acting United States secretary of defense under President Donald Trump, kash Patel sat down with Jan Jekielek from the Epoch Times.

    During their discussion Kash Patel discussed the illegal actions by top CIA brass who organized and promoted the dishonest Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation petition.

    John Solomon on Tuesday reported that an active CIA employee was recruiting intel leaders to sign the bogus Hunter Biden laptop letter.

    Obviously, this may explain why we do not have all of the names of those intel leaders who signed the slanderous anti-Trump letter.

    During the second presidential debate in 2020, Joe Biden and hack reporter Kristen Welker teamed up against President Trump.

    At one point, Joe Biden interrupted Welker for his planned response to the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell scandal. Joe Biden told the audience 50 intelligence leaders signed a letter saying the laptop was “Russian propaganda.”

    The 51 spies who lied openly to the American public.

    The intel leaders all lied. They knew it was a lie. Joe Biden knew it was a lie. The media knew this was a lie.

    And now we know that the Biden Campaign and current Secretary of State Tony Blinken organized this massive lie. The laptop was real and EVERY SINGLE INTEL ‘EXPERT’ who signed that letter knew it was real!

    They have never apologized.

    Kash Patel discussed how this action by CIA brass is clearly against US federal law.

    Kash Patel: Remember, since its inception in 1947, the CIA has a legal mandate to never interfere domestically, especially with partisan politics. And this letter shows that Gina Haspel’s, CIA broke that mandate, that legal mandate, and did just that. And her employees went out and had signatories added to a letter that they knew contained false information that Mike Morell wanted out for political reasons at the behest of Tony Blinken, who at the time was then Biden’s senior campaign aide so that they could counter the narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

    That’s what it all came down to. And the timeline is critical on the Blinken contact to Morell is in October and in a four day span, they have 51 signatories. They have the letter approved from the CIA saying you can publish this information even though it’s sensitive. The CIA participated in partisan politics and then candidate Biden used it in a presidential debate and said, our intelligence community even says, my son’s laptop is Russian. Dis information. That is the definition of election rigging.

    So when is the dirty CIA held to account? When do the investigations begin? When do heads roll?

  12. DEVELOPING: At Least Seven People Shot in Arizona City On U.S.-Mexico Border- Suspect on the Loose
    By Cullen Linebarger May. 14, 2023 9:45 am0 Comments

    Yet another likely consequence of the Biden regime’s lawless immigration policies.

    Fox News reported that least seven people were reportedly shot and injured in Yuma, Arizona Saturday night Yuma is located just 10 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.

    As Gateway Pundit readers know, Yuma along with other border cities are drowning under a massive invasion of illegal migrant hordes while the Biden regime does nothing.

    ABC News revealed that police responded to a disturbing call right before 11 p.m. local time about an “aggravated assault” on South J Edward Drive.

    Yuma police Lt. Craig Johnson told ABC News that seven individuals were transported to the hospital.

    Police currently do not have a suspect in custody at this time.

    Fox News said they reached out to the Yuma Police Department by phone and email early Sunday seeking additional details regarding the shooting but have yet to hear back.

  13. “That Sanctimonious Son of a B***h is Welcome to Come Down to Texas!” – Rep. Chip Roy Goes SCORCHED EARTH on Biden Homeland Security Sec. Mayorkas After Mayorkas Tells Lie About Immigration and Defends Border Invasion (VIDEO)
    By Cullen Linebarger May. 14, 2023 9:00 am70 Comments

    The United States is drowning under a massive flood of illegal immigration since the Biden regime allowed Title 42 to expire. Regime officials led by disgraced Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have only lied and made excuses for the invasion while letting Americans suffer.

    Fox LA’s Bill Melugin has also revealed the Regime is “mass releasing” illegals into the United States and that they are being given court dates years out from today.

    Moreover, globalist NGOs are organizing the illegal migrants’ travels across the US-Mexico border.

    When a federal judge tried hold the Regime accountable and struck down their illegal scheme paroling invaders without giving them court dates, Mayorkas whined that the ruling was “very harmful.”

    Rep. Chip Roy, for one, is sick of the Biden regime officials’ lies and inaction, especially Mayorkas.

    Roy on Friday joined Rob Schmitt Tonight on Newsmax to discuss the lawlessness at the border.

    He began by calling the situation “absolute devastation” and correctly blamed the Regime for opening the border up to the world.

    When Schmitt asked how bad the invasion could get, Roy replied that the number is “uncapped.” He then pointed out the Biden regime is working with NGO’s and the Mexican government to usher illegal aliens across the border.

    He also blamed the Regime for the increase in human smuggling and said that border patrol agents have told him the border crisis is a “broken arrow” circumstance.

    Schmitt next played a video of Mayorkas telling a big lie about illegal immigration and defending the border invasion. Mayorkas fallaciously claimed that “businesses around the country” need illegal migrant labor and the invaders “need” jobs to send remittances back to their home country.

    Roy unloaded on Mayorkas, calling him a “liar” and a “sanctimonious son of a b***h.”

    WATCH (Roy’s explosive remarks are from 2:32-3:03):

    He’s a liar, that sanctimonious son of a b***h is welcome to come down to Texas and talk to all the mothers who lost their children to fentanyl!…Talk to those parents who lost their kids, the 72,000 Americans who have died from fentanyl poisoning.

    And that guy comes up and has the audacity to do this when he lied about border patrol agents and just casually dismissed that lie?

    That guy doesn’t know what he’s walking in to.

  14. Dirty Judge Amy Berman Jackson Backtracks and Blocks Trump from Testifying in Lawsuit by FBI Lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
    By Jim Hoft May. 14, 2023 8:15 am124 Comments

    Dirty DC Judge Amy Berman Jackson blocked President Trump from being questioned under oath in a lawsuit filed by former FBI lovebirds and adulterers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok.

    The two lovebirds filed the ridiculous lawsuit after Strzok was fired and Page resigned when they were caught exchanging thousands of text messages during a workplace affair.

    Both of the former FBI players pushed the Trump-Russia collusion lies while and were involved in the attempted coup of President Trump. The investigation into Trump was based on Hillary Clinton campaign lies. The FBI knew this but proceeded to harass the US president for years with their investigation.

    For some reason Judge Amy Berman Jackson blocked Trump from testifying in the case. The deep state must have tipped her off. They obviously are worried something will come out during Chris Wray’s testimony.

    These people are lawless.

    The Hill reported:

    U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson initially ruled in February that Trump and FBI Director Christopher Wray could sit for depositions in the case, with strict restrictions on their length and subject matter.

    But the Justice Department (DOJ) said on Thursday in a filing that it planned to ask a federal appeals court to block Trump’s deposition unless Jackson reconsidered its request that Wray be deposed first. The department argued the FBI director must sit for his deposition first as the lower-ranking official, saying his testimony could make the need for Trump’s moot.

    Jackson said in her ruling that the Court was “somewhat surprised” to learn that since her February order, “the parties have done nothing more than wrangle over the order of the two depositions.”

    The judge sided with the DOJ in ordering that Wray be deposed first, while also defending her initial ruling.

    “The Court’s ruling was appropriate in light of all of the facts, including the former President’s own public statements concerning his role in the firing of the plaintiff. However, in order to get the parties — who apparently still cannot agree on anything — over this impasse, it is hereby ORDERED that the deposition of Christopher Wray proceed first, rendering the instant motion moot,” Jackson said.

  15. Oversight Chairman James Comer: FBI Whistleblower on Biden Family Crimes Has Gone Missing – FBI Won’t Look Into This (VIDEO)
    By Jim Hoft May. 14, 2023 10:00 am0 Comments

    Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning.

    During their discussion Comer told Maria that NINE Biden family members received foreign payments totalling more than $10 million. Comer then dropped this bomb — The FBI whistleblower has gone missing.

    Chairman Comer then added this, “We have evidence that Joe Biden when he was Vice President was involved in a quid pro quo with a foreign country in exchange for foreign aid. This is a very serious accusation. All the FBI has to do is say, ‘Yeah, we looked into it and it wasn’t a credible informant.’ But they won’t answer our questions.”

    Maria Bartiromo: Are their whistleblowers missing right now?

    Rep. James Comer: Well, we investigated and the people we tracked down going back to the CDFC, the two main players in that business as well as all the Americans that were involved in the different Biden influence peddling schemes as well as the Serbian national. Nine of ten people that we’ve identified, they we very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens, they’re one of three things. They’re either currently in court, they’re currently in jail, or they’re currently missing.

  18. FRANCE – Pourquoi vous serez bientôt privés d’eau chaude au bureau

    Un décret applicable depuis le 25 avril suspend l’obligation pour une entreprise de mettre de l’eau chaude à disposition de ses salariés.

    La mesure vise les robinets permettant aux employés de se laver les mains.
    Elle doit permettre aux bâtiments de réaliser des économies d’énergie.

    Depuis quelques jours, certains salariés ont peut-être remarqué qu’il ne leur était plus possible de se laver les mains à l’eau chaude au sein de leur entreprise. Depuis le 25 avril, un décret publié au Journal officiel et repéré par France 3 permet aux sociétés de déroger à l’obligation présente dans le Code du travail de “mettre à disposition des travailleurs de l’eau à température réglable sur les lieux du travail”. Fini donc le lavage de main à l’eau chaude, le décret permet, jusqu’au 30 juin 2024, à l’employeur de supprimer “l’eau chaude sanitaire des lavabos dans les bâtiments à usage professionnel pour répondre à des objectifs de sobriété énergétique”.

    […]Mais que les salariés se rassurent, une étude publiée en 2017 dans le Journal of Food Protection a montré que l’eau froide était tout aussi efficace que l’eau chaude pour garantir une bonne hygiène des mains. La seule variable qui permet l’élimination plus ou moins efficace des bactéries est le temps passé à les laver : une durée de lavage de 20 secondes élimine ainsi cinq fois plus de bactéries qu’un lavage de cinq secondes, pointe Ouest-France qui souligne toutefois qu’il est inutile d’aller au-delà de 20 secondes de lavage.

    L’utilisation de l’eau froide pour se laver les mains est d’ailleurs mise en place depuis octobre dernier dans les sanitaires des mairies, préfectures et administrations. Il faut dire que le chauffage de l’eau représente 10% de la consommation d’énergie dans les bâtiments publics. Et les gains sont notables : il faut 22,35 kWh d’électricité pour chauffer l’eau nécessaire à 1000 lavages de mains à 38°C contre seulement 3,99 kWh pour une eau à 15°C, soit 82% d’énergie en moins.

    • TIME – This Emergency Is Over. Now It’s Time to Get Ready for the Next Pandemic

      BY KIZZMEKIA CORBETT MAY 11, 2023

      Corbett, one of the lead NIH researchers on the COVID-19 vaccine, is an Assistant Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the Harvard Chan School

      Having been a part of the team that developed a leading COVID-19 vaccine, I am often invited to speak or write about the successes of our work—work that led to the fastest vaccine development in history.

      But, more than three years into the COVID-19 pandemic and with America’s public health emergency expiring on May 11th, it has become increasingly clear that this moment is not only an opportunity to reflect on successes but also grapple with the setbacks, pitfalls, and failures that defined our response to COVID-19.

      The responsibility to improve our response to future global health crises, I think, lies in correcting our less-than-perfect actions. There are countless opportunities to tweak, iterate, or outright overhaul our pandemic response—but as I review our fight against the virus, particularly from the front row of the frontline, three paths of action stand out.

      First, the federal government needs to change the paradigm that defines our federal research focuses, with an emphasis on being proactive instead of reactive.

      There are 23 families of viruses associated with human infection, and the state of the research into each of these families varies significantly. In my specialty of coronaviruses, we had made significant strides before the pandemic struck. The strides we made were not because of any extraordinary funding streams, but merely because we were interested in closing gaps in scientific understanding—particularly in light of the recent threats posed by SARS-1 and MERS in prior years, which showed the pandemic potential of coronaviruses.

      It is often deemed “miraculous” that our COVID-19 vaccine progressed to phase 1 clinical trial in merely 66 days, but I imagine the vaccine development process could have been even more efficient had our technology gone into phase 1 clinical trial prior to the pandemic. Such an advance beyond our 2017 manuscript to the clinic would have required more financial investment and intellectual resources, but we could have been better positioned to move even faster when COVID-19 struck.

      Basking in our successes means also admitting that we were dealt a lucky hand; the pandemic response could have been way worse. Our understanding of many of these viral families lags far behind our understanding of coronaviruses. If a pathogen from one of those families ever takes off, our wait to clinical trial might be 600 days, not 66. The harm inflicted, both economically and in terms of lives lost, would be devastating.

      I’d like to see us invest in each of the 23 viral families that infect humans. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) should lay out checkpoints: key scientific milestones we need to hit for each viral family, so we’re ready to move rapidly in case a pathogen emerges and begins to spread. The investment would be significant, to be sure. But the total cost would be far smaller than COVID-19’s estimated $16 trillion drag on America’s economy and the enormous toll of lives lost.

      Secondly, public health practitioners need to recognize that our research is only as strong as our communication. Even our strongest peer-reviewed, evidence-driven findings won’t have their full impact if we cannot clearly and effectively communicate them to the public.

      Unfortunately, effectively disseminating complex information is more difficult now than ever before. Public health communicators must project both their humanity and their expertise, which can be a difficult tightrope—especially in a highly polarized political environment that harms public trust. Clarity, conciseness, honesty, and empathy go a long way with the public, especially in moments of uncertainty.

      Public health leaders must also recognize that sometimes the messenger is just as important as the message. Instead of relying heavily on leadership in D.C., we must tap into trusted voices in communities across this country, from physicians to community health workers to pharmacists. Once appropriately empowered, these community leaders made a big difference during the pandemic.

      Imagine my surprise – and embarrassment – when, in April 2020, I announced to America on CNN that we had a vaccine under development that was backed by years of research, only to find that almost no one had ever heard of said research. How had we allowed the disconnect between our publications and public knowledge to grow so large? Repairing that disconnect is a continuous feat.

      I’d like to see us build a strong network that lets officials at the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention promptly share relevant public health information with local leaders — on a regular basis, not just during a crisis. In turn, those trusted voices should be encouraged to regularly share those updates with their communities, which will help them build up their credibility.

      We should fund ongoing training as well, so these local leaders can stay up to date on best practices for communication, as well as the best platforms – for example, it shouldn’t have taken so long for federal officials to begin using Instagram and TikTok to reach younger populations with messaging on COVID-19. By the time the White House featured me on Snapchat, my 15-year-old niece exclaimed that no one even used Snapchat anymore. We were not meeting people where they were, because we hadn’t been walking with them to those destinations prior to the pandemic. It’d be sad to see us go back to the status quo, only to have to catch up again in the next crisis.

      We also need to recognize the value of training a diverse group of public health leaders. As one of the few Black researchers involved in creating the COVID vaccine, I saw how much my words resonated with communities of color—and I also know just how often the deck is stacked against young scientists from marginalized communities, making it more difficult for them to break into our field. To create more trusted ambassadors, we must build the pipeline of diverse scientists and public health leaders. We cannot afford to leave them behind.

      Finally, we must understand that health leaders cannot solve these crises alone; we have to work in partnership with the public. As a result, we must step up our efforts to teach critical thinking in schools and workplaces so when people do their own research, they come to reasonable conclusions.

      This problem has become more challenging in recent years with the flood of content on social media. Some of this information is correct—but much is misinformed, and some is maliciously and knowingly false. We need to help people learn how to separate fact from fiction. That will help us triumph over the snake oil salesmen who use confusion to spread misinformation.

      These changes aren’t easy; on the contrary, each would be expensive, time-consuming, and difficult to implement.

      But that doesn’t mean they’re not worth doing.

      We have seen the consequences of a pandemic under the previous status quo, and we cannot allow ourselves to settle back into that flawed approach. It is vital that we learn our lessons and make the hard choices that will save lives and strengthen our society for future crises. Investing today will yield benefits tomorrow—but if we choose inaction, we’re doomed to repeat our mistakes again and again.

      The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, which are based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, do not affect overall mortality, according to a reanalysis of clinical trial data.

      Researchers, including Christine Stabell Benn, a health professor at the University of Southern Denmark, published their findings in the Cell journal in April.

      The study revealed that although the mRNA vaccines protected against COVID-19-related deaths, vaccinated participants were more likely to die from cardiovascular problems.

      “In the RCTs with the longest possible blinded follow-up, mRNA vaccines had no effect on overall mortality despite protecting against some COVID-19 deaths.”

      ————————————
      “On the other hand, the adenovirus-vector vaccines were associated with lower overall mortality,” researchers said.

      “The differences in the effects of adenovirus-vector and mRNA vaccines on overall mortality, if true, would have a major impact on global health,” they added.

      ————————————-

      Benn and her colleagues extracted data from three RCTs for the mRNA vaccines and six RCTs for the adenovirus-vector vaccines, all of which had mortality data available.

      They compared the number of deaths between the vaccinated and placebo groups, categorizing them as COVID-19-related, due to cardiovascular problems, caused by other non-COVID-19 factors, accidents, and non-accident, non-COVID-19 causes.

      ———————————
      The research involved analyzing data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) conducted by the vaccine manufacturers. Requests for comment from Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca went unanswered.

      ———————————————-
      The researchers found that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were linked to a decrease in COVID-19 mortality but an increase in cardiovascular and non-accident, non-COVID-19 mortality. However, there was no difference in overall mortality between the vaccinated and placebo groups.

      ——————————————–

      Regarding the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, it was associated with lower overall mortality and lower non-COVID-19 mortality, with no effect on COVID-19 mortality. AstraZeneca’s vaccine, which was not authorized in the United States but approved in some other countries, performed well against overall mortality and across various categories in several trials, except for one trial where slightly more vaccinated individuals died from non-COVID causes or non-accident, non-COVID-19 causes.

      —————————————-
      The researchers stated that adenovirus-vector vaccines, compared to placebos, appeared to have beneficial non-specific effects, reducing the risk of non-COVID-19 diseases. Cardiovascular disease was identified as the most significant cause of non-COVID-19 death, and the data from current RCTs suggested that adenovirus-vector vaccines provided at least some protection against it.

      —————————————-
      The study was published in 2022, ahead of peer review, but faced difficulties finding a journal that would accept it for publication. Benn stated that several journals rejected the paper without providing an explanation, leading to delays in publication.

      —————————————————
      After the rollout of vaccines, including highly vaccinated countries like the United States, there was an increase in overall mortality. The causes of this increase are still debated among researchers, with some attributing it primarily to the vaccines and others citing COVID-19 and other factors.

      ————————————–

      Dr. Peter Gotzsche, professor emeritus and director of the Institute for Scientific Freedom in Denmark, commended the paper, calling it ‘thought-provoking.’

      ———————————
      Dr. David Boulware, a professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota’s Medical School, raised concerns about the methodology of the new study. In an email to The Epoch Times, he stated that the study was poorly designed due to variations in the locations where the trials took place. Boulware argued that countries with better healthcare, such as the United States, may have influenced the results.

      ———————————–

      The researchers themselves acknowledged this potential limitation in the study, stating in the limitations section that “differences between the study populations in the RCTs of the two vaccine types could have biased the comparison as different disease patterns and level of care could have influenced the measured effect of the vaccines on overall mortality.”

      —————————————
      Furthermore, the researchers noted that in the mRNA clinical trials, more individuals were infected with COVID-19 compared to the adenovirus-vector vaccine trials, yet there were more COVID-19 deaths in the adenovirus-vector trials. This suggests that participants in the mRNA trials may have had access to better healthcare during COVID-19 infection, which could have impacted the measured effect of mRNA vaccination on overall mortality.

      —————————————–
      Boulware also pointed to real-world data, including observational data from Israel and Minnesota, which he believes contradicts the conclusions of the paper. He stated that mRNA vaccines clearly provide better protection against COVID-19 compared to adenovirus vector vaccines.

      ————————————–
      In response, Benn defended the study, emphasizing that it was based on a meta-analysis of placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials, which is considered the highest level of evidence. Randomized clinical trials data is considered the “gold standard” for medical research. The primary focus of the study, according to Benn, was overall mortality.

      —————————————
      “He is discussing COVID-19—we are studying all-cause mortality,” Benn stated. “It is irrelevant if a vaccine protects better against COVID-19 than another vaccine if it reduces overall mortality to a lesser degree—unless you think that COVID is worse than death.”

      ———————————
      The study population mainly consisted of healthy adults, and the researchers noted that even mRNA vaccines were expected to reduce overall mortality in real-world scenarios. However, they added that the intriguing differences in the effects on non-accident, non-COVID-19 mortality were likely to persist and should be investigated further in future studies.
      ———————————-
      *Note: I will add as a post-script that you can also see from the Pfizer clinical trials data the misleading claim that the vaccines are “100% effective” at reducing Covid mortality.

      This did not mean that it prevents all Covid-related mortality, but rather that the vaccine group had a “100%” higher survival rate than the placebo group.

      In other words, 1 patient out of 21,926 participants in the vaccine group vs. 2 patients out of the 21,921 in the placebo group. This claim is statistically insignificant and prone to all sorts of human and systematic error.

      APRIL 2023 – Randomized clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines: Do adenovirus-vector vaccines have beneficial non-specific effects?

      Highlights

      -It is unknown if COVID-19 vaccines have non-specific effects on overall survival

      -The randomized trials of mRNA and adenovirus vaccines had information on deaths

      -The relative mortality risk for mRNA vaccine vs. placebo was 1.03 (0.63–1.71)

      – For adenovirus vaccine vs. placebo, it was significantly different: 0.37 (0.19–0.70)

      Summary
      We examined the possible non-specific effects of novel mRNA- and adenovirus-vector COVID-19 vaccines by reviewing the randomized control trials (RCTs) of mRNA and adenovirus-vector COVID-19 vaccines. We calculated mortality risk ratios (RRs) for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines vs. placebo recipients and compared them with the RR for adenovirus-vector COVID-19 vaccine recipients vs. controls. The RR for overall mortality of mRNA vaccines vs. placebo was 1.03 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.63–1.71). In the adenovirus-vector vaccine RCTs, the RR for overall mortality was 0.37 (0.19–0.70). The two vaccine types differed significantly with respect to impact on overall mortality (p = 0.015). The RCTs of COVID-19 vaccines were unblinded rapidly, and controls were vaccinated. The results may therefore not be representative of the long-term effects. However, the data argue for performing RCTs of mRNA and adenovirus-vector vaccines head-to-head comparing long-term effects on overall mortality.

      Mirror UK – ‘Brits are dying in their tens of thousands – and we don’t really have any idea why’

      Tens of thousands more Brits died than usual from May to December 2022, excluding Covid as a cause of death, raising serious questions as to why so many died

      Tens of thousands more Brits were dying than expected and experts aren’t quite sure why that is.

      From May to December last year, there were 32,441 excess deaths in England and Wales, excluding deaths from Covid.

      Excess deaths are defined as the number of people who died above the five-year average – worked out excluding 2020 due to how Covid spiked death figures that year.

      This means that over 32,000 Brits would’ve been expected to be alive, but died according to Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures across this period.

      These shocking figures raised a number of important questions about what is happening to the country’s populations, how it’s changing, and why so many more people are dying.

      Ever since the Covid pandemic, excess deaths have fluctuated wildly month on month, tumbling well below the five-year average or spiking far above it.

      The spikes in excess deaths can be attributed to a number of causes, but it isn’t clear what’s driving these spikes or causing these drop-offs.

      Similarly, earlier in 2022, excess deaths dipped well below average levels, with one expert group speculating to the Mirror that a ‘mortality displacement’ effect might explain why so many deaths are bunched up in the space of several months, being passed on from the months prior.

      Professor David Coleman, Emeritus Professor of Demography at Oxford University, told the Mirror that no one knew for certain what had caused so many deaths throughout last year.

      He pointed out that, post Covid, the UK’s population had been changed through the deaths of a significant proportion of elderly due to the virus.

      He explained: “Once those poor people have been packed off, the remaining population should be healthier, there should be a period afterwards where deaths are lower than usual but that hasn’t happened.”

      But he highlighted two key reasons that could contribute towards spiking excess deaths, the fact Britain’s getting older, and gaining a larger average body-mass index.

      “The population is getting older, and also the population in Britain is the fattest in Europe and rather vulnerable to diseases notably heart disease and diabetes; some people have been forecasting separately from Covid that death rates would continue to get worse because the country is so unhealthy,” he said.

      One of the noted causes behind a number of the excess deaths were ischaemic heart diseases – which would track with the professor’s warnings of a fatter population.

      Similarly, when looking at the leading cause of death across much of 2022, it’s dementia and Alzheimers – further supporting theories of an increasingly greying, and dying, population.

      Dementia and Alzheimers often aren’t the leading cause of excess deaths, when that data is available, according to ONS figures, it’s often pneumonia and influenza during the winter or symptoms, signs and ill-defined conditions in other parts of the year.

      “If you look at the detail and the reasons on death certificates, it’s a bit unsatisfactory as symptoms, signs and ill-defined is one of the biggest components of these excess deaths and that’s something associated with old age really,” Professor Coleman told the Mirror.

      This then brings up another problem, in that a lot of Brits are dying, but not necessarily of a specific cause.

      So whilst a heavily ageing population may be throwing up yet another problem, it doesn’t quite explain why over 30,000 more people than usual died from May to December last year.

      For March and February of this year, symptoms, signs and ill-defined is the leading cause of excess deaths, before that in January it was influenza and pneumonia.

      And throughout the year, other causes emerge dramatically as the leading cause of excess deaths.

      Heat in particular persistently returns during the summer, and given climate change will only continue to pose such a fatal threat.

      On the country’s hottest days there is inevitably a spike in excess deaths as thousands succumb to it.

      As previously mentioned, excess deaths are measured against the five-year average of deaths – going from 2016-19, and 2021.

      But this has been criticised because it fails to take into account population changes of age, size, and more, in that time.

      In short, the population in 2016, is different to that of 2023, and Professor Kevin McConway, Emeritus Professor of Applied Statistics, The Open University, is one of a number who have pointed this out.

      Using age-standardised mortality rates (ASMR) does account for these changes, and when used goes some of the way to perhaps explaining the huge numbers of deaths.

      It offers the percentage for which a specified time period is above or below the five-year average.

      For December 2022, the number of excess deaths, 5,900, is 13.5 per cent above the five-year average.

      But the ASMR is only 5.8 per cent above the five-year average – this explains that perhaps some of the tens of thousands of deaths should’ve been more expected, but still doesn’t quite explain why they happened in the first place.

      When you look across 2022, the ASMR usually gives a lower percentage than the percentage of straight excess deaths, but not far enough to eliminate the deaths or explain them away entirely.

      However, ASMR has its own issues, as Professor McConway pointed out.

      He said: “To calculate the ASMRs, you need to know the population size in each age group.

      “ONS could not (yet) use estimates based on the 2021 Census results because they are not yet available for the relevant dates, and in fact they used projections based on population estimates from 2018.

      “These do not currently take into account major effects, such as the Covid pandemic, that would have affected the population size and pattern of ages.”

      Which still leaves tens of thousands of dead Brits, with no clear explanation as to quite how they died.

      john campbell –Excess deaths, new UK data

    • zero hedge – Never Forget: A Retrospective On The Media Lies Surrounding COVID

      Lest we get too comfortable once again and forget that only a couple years ago the western world was on the verge of perpetual medical tyranny, it is important to look back at the massive media disinformation campaign concerning the effectiveness (or lack of effectiveness) of the pandemic mandates and the mRNA vaccines. Only two years ago, the public was bombarded by possibly the most aggressive global propaganda attack in modern history. And, this campaign was a conjoined effort between national governments, global institutions and corporations.

      Keep in mind, all the hysteria was generated over a virus with a median official Infection Fatality Rate of only 0.23%.

      That’s right, all the fear mongering featured in the video below was in reaction to a “pandemic” that 99.8% of the population would easily survive, and this death rate was known only months after the spread started. Also keep in mind that essentially every single claim made by the media concerning covid featured below ended up being false.

      In many cases, the media knew that scientific evidence ran contrary to their narrative, but they promoted that narrative anyway.

      Enjoy this flashback of corporate media covid fear mongering, and never forget…

    • Scottish Daily Express – Scotland’s vaccine injured feel ‘abandoned’ with many feeling suicidal due to their illness

      Exclusive: The Scottish Vaccine Injury Group sat down with the Scottish Daily Express to discuss their campaign and how they feel let down by the governments who put so much pressure on the population to take the jag

      Scotland’s vaccine injured community say they have been abandoned by the country’s governments and have been left trying to pick up the pieces of their lives by themselves. The Scottish Vaccine Injury Group says many of its 150 members have felt suicidal at the lack of support, with medical professionals dismisive of their concerns.

      The Covid vaccine roll out from the end of 2020 was one of the biggest logistical undertakings in British history. Public health bodies have estimated the jags have saved tens of thousands of lives over the past two and half years.

      But a growing number of people are now coming forward with their stories of having adverse reactions to the vaccine. At least nine deaths in Scotland have been attributed to the Covid vaccines and many others are trying to put their lives together after suffering serious injury.

      The Scottish Vaccine Injury Group has been set up to provide support for those who have suffered adverse reactions to the jags. Central to the group’s work are Ruth O’Rafferty, 54, Alex Mitchell, 58, and John Watt, 37.

      They are currently in the process of applying for core participant status in the Scottish Covid inquiry but say they have been routinely dismissed as cranks by the authorities. All have been handed various bans on social media for sharing their stories but the group is continuing to grow and it recently held an event in Glasgow city centre to raise awareness.

      The leadership trio, who say many of those seeking help have had suicidal thoughts, believe their group is now picking up the slack from government failures and have accused doctors of not taking their concerns seriously.

      Alex, who had to have a leg amputated because of his reaction, says he knows of nine people who have taken their lives due to their injuries, saying: “They’ve had enough of the gaslighting the pain, the fact that nobody’s listening to them and the whole world was turned against them.”

      Ruth adds: “We are offering support to people who are desperate. I was speaking to somebody just last week who was admitting that they were really, really desperate. And they’re in their bed. They have been in their bed for about 18 months. And because they don’t have long Covid They don’t have access to the Long Covid clinics.

      “They live alone so they’re living in isolation, housebound, bedbound. They can’t actually even form sentences… so they can’t advocate for themselves. They’re not getting any medical help because they said that they thought it was a vaccine.”

      Alex became the first person in the UK to be awarded the full £120,000 vaccine damage payment from the UK Government after he lost his leg in April 2021. He took his first dose on March 20, 2021 but after experiencing calf pain, he was taken to hospital where he went into a surgery he “wasn’t expected to survive”.

      A scaffolder by trade from Glasgow, Alex was eventually diagnosed with vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia which causes blood clots. He is now on a range of medication for life, has suffered brain damage and has eyesight issues. He is part of a lawsuit against AstraZenenca.

      He can no longer work and is relying on benefits. He says: “This is my life: coming to visit people that are vaccine injured and bereaved and trying to raise awareness. I don’t have a life.

      “They took everything from me. That’s my life. I can’t walk. I’ll never walk again. I’ve got brain damage, which is a real problem for somebody who loves reading. I wasn’t always a scaffolder, I was a business manager so I really struggle mentally with a brain fog. So it’s a real struggle.”

      Ruth had taken two doses of the vaccine when she started suffering “anaphylactic episodes” in late June 2021. She was eventually found to be suffering from mast cell activation syndrome, which causes similar symptoms to anaphylaxis. She also suffers from dysautonomia, which impacts the nervous system, brain inflammation and hormonal imbalance.

      A former teacher from South Lanarkshire, Ruth can no longer drive and her husband refuses to be away from her for any major length of time due to her condition. She had to go private to get a diagnosis and says she hit several brick walls as she tried to get to the bottom of what was going on. “Unfortunately, a lot of GPs don’t know about it. They don’t know about mast cell activation syndrome, and they certainly don’t recognise that the vaccine causes any damage,” she says.

      “And a lot of people with heart issues are getting gaslit and told ‘och, it’s only it’s anxiety’. And honestly, we’ve got people in the group who are waiting up to two years to see a specialist.”

      All three are dismissive of the ‘anti-vax’ label that has been applied by some to the group. They all point out that they willingly received their jag the first time around and had received vaccinations before Covid.

      John, who was a joiner before falling ill, says he “doesn’t entertain it,” while Alex adds: “I’ll never tell you what to do. You’re an adult, go and do your research and make your own decision.

      “I’ll will stand beside you whether you decide never to take anything again or take every one of them. That’s your decision. That’s democracy. Children is a different story. There’s no reason scientific or medical for children to be given these.”

      John’s story actually begins before the Covid lockdown In February 2020 when he suffered a suspected heart attack and was fitted with a stent. After a “year of hell” he managed to get his life back in order but struggled to find anyone who suffered similar symptoms of a heart attack.

      It is now believed has was suffering from Long Covid. After his third booster jag – a Pfizer – in November 2021, John, who is from Glasgow, started to suffer a range of symptoms, around 40 in total including rapid heart rate, speech impairment, dizziness, nausea and fatigue.

      He was throwing up “every day”, lost 13kg in weight in just a few weeks and his heart rate would go through the roof just with the effort of standing up. He spent a year “bedridden” and “thought I was going to die”. Again, he had to go through a private doctor before he was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and believes he was subject to “gaslighting and ignorance” from the NHS and no longer trusts many medical professionals.

      John, who wears sunglasses during our chat because of sensitive eyes, spent £37,000 on treatment but today is still nowhere near back to the health he enjoyed before 2020. “I cannot predict what tomorrow brings for my body and what happens every day. I can’t plan anything,” he says.

      “The other day I had a bit of chocolate. You would think I would out drinking for a week the way it reacted with me. My stomach was an absolute pain. For three hours I was in absolute agony.”

      On his journey as a whole, he explains: “Ruth came and visited me on my deathbed. Alex came and visited me on my deathbed, my family had been traumatised, I’ve been extremely traumatised. Where my anger lies and frustration lies, is that if they left me for that long, how many others have they left for that long?”

      The trio say they have suffered from “censorship” online for sharing their views and reckon politicians have no interest in helping them because of the effort that went in to publicise the vaccine programme. In fact, John revealed he had been blocked on Twitter by Nicola Sturgeon when he invited her to their recent rally in Glasgow. But the potential harms from the jag have started to enter the mainstream media after the death of BBC presenter Lisa Shaw.

      The 44-year-old died from the same condition that took Alex’s leg in 2021 and her family is suing AstraZeneca having also accused the UK Government of brushing them off. According to the UK Health Security Agency, nearly 700 vaccine injuries have been reported in Scotland through its Yellow Card scheme.

      And the National Records of Scotland say nine deaths have been directly attributed to the Covid vaccine with a further four having adverse reactions mentioned on the death certificate. Up until the end of last year, 60 deaths in England and Wales had been attributed to the Covid vaccine.

      Ruth, Alex and John’s group has allowed vaccine injured and bereaved from across Scotland come together to share their stories and point each other in the direction of what support they can access, as well as discussing possible treatment options.

      Asked what he wants achieve through the group, John says they want to be “taken seriously” by doctors, adding: “We need the doctors to stand up, we need mental health support, we need financial support. And these people, they need help because I’m telling you right now, the stories that we’re seeing daily is heartbreaking.”

      Both Ruth and Alex again emphasise their desire to prevent children receiving the vaccine. Ruth said: “We’re not anti-vax. Yes, the risk of Covid to children is there, it is real, but I honestly believe that the risk of harms from these vaccines are so life changing – I’m not sure that any of us will ever actually get our health back – And I don’t want that to happen to children.”

      The UK Government said: “All vaccines used in the UK must go through the usual rigorous testing and development process and meet strict standards of safety, quality and effectiveness by the independent medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

      “The public should be very confident that all tests are completed to the highest of standards. The monitoring of vaccine safety does not stop once a vaccine has been approved – the safety continues to be monitored continually using well developed and pre-existing surveillance networks, such as MHRA’s Yellow Card scheme.”

      And Holyrood’s Public Health Minister Jenni Minto said: “Like any vaccine, Covid-19 vaccines can cause side effects, most of which are mild or moderate. Serious or long-lasting side effects are rare, but possible. These side effects need to be continuously balanced against the expected benefits in preventing illness.

      “I understand the issues some are experiencing and my sympathy goes to all those affected. It is important that health boards take these issues seriously, and support patients in their management and recovery of their symptoms.

      “Vaccines are continually monitored to detect adverse events, and public health bodies in Scotland and across the globe are closely monitoring for any unexpected side effects following Covid-19 vaccination.”

  24. CBP Officers Intercept Bomb at US-Mexico Border
    By Jim Hoft May. 14, 2023 11:00 am29 Comments

    An improvised bomb was intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Friday at U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona.

    During a routine check at the Douglas, Arizona, port of entry, CBP officers discovered an improvised explosive device (IED) bound for the United States.

    “The improvised explosive device was intercepted during secondary inspection by CBP officers at the Douglas, Arizona POE on May 6th,” News Nation correspondent Ali Bradley tweeted.

    She added, “The IED was made using an M&M container with electrical tape. Blue and red wires were exposed at the end of the container.”

    Border Patrol turned over the device to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and Homeland Security is leading the investigation.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released the following statement:

    On May 6, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers assigned to the Area Port of Douglas, Arizona conducting secondary vehicle inspections encountered a destructive device. Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) was contacted to inspect the device. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) was contacted and responded to the port to interview the subject. A complete search of the vehicle was conducted after AZDPS had removed the destructive device with no additional items located. Please contact HSI and AZDPS for additional information.

  25. Trans Shooter’s Manifesto Is Now in Judge’s Hands – Regime Won’t Release Crazed Trans Shooter’s Writings More than a Month After Mass Shooting

    Nashville Police told FOX News in late April that they will finally release the manifesto of the trans shooter that they recovered from her car following the attack on March 27, 2023.

    28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a transgender former student murdered three 9-year-olds and three adults last month in a mass shooting at the school. Hale fired off 152 rounds during the targeted attack on the Christian School.

    The attack appears to be a deadly hate crime by a deranged trans shooter against Christian Americans. The media has largely ignored the attack that resulted in six deaths including three children.

    The local authorities and FBI refused to release the manifesto to the public following the mass shooting by Hale in March.

    The release of the manifesto was delayed again earlier this month. Michael LaChance reported, “The excuse this time is that there is ‘pending litigation’ around the document. Does anyone believe any of this?”

    On Sunday The Daily Mail reported that the manifesto is now in the judge’s hands.

    A judge in Nashville has been handed an unredacted copy of a manifesto written by a trans gunman who killed six during a school shooting in March.

    And it could be soon released to the public.

    The release of the manifesto has been hotly debated since it was found at the home of Audrey Hale, 28, who killed three children and three school workers at Covenant Christian Academy before being shot dead by police.

    The manifesto was among other ‘writings’ that were submitted to the Davidson County Chancellor’s chambers on Friday, including a map in which Hale detailed how the incident would take place.

    Many conservatives have argued the manifesto should be made public because it will provide insight into the cause of the shooting, whereas LGBTQ groups have opposed the release on the grounds it could inspire ‘copycat’ incidents.

    Two versions of the manifesto were turned over, one was unredacted and the other had proposed redactions made by city attorneys for the judge to review, Fox News 17 reported.

    We all know if the mass shooter would have held even the slightest conservative leanings the manifesto would have been released the next day.

    So we all know what is coming. The regime is hoping the manifesto never sees the light of day.

  26. Vatican Investigating Possible Miracle at US Church
    By Jack Davis, The Western Journal May. 14, 2023 3:15 pm

    With the first stage complete in an investigation into a possible eucharistic miracle at a Roman Catholic church in Connecticut, the Vatican is now reviewing the initial report.

    The Rev. Joseph Crowley, the priest at St. Thomas Church in Thomaston, said that during communion on March 5, the number of hosts being handed out miraculously increased.

    “What happened is our Lord multiplied himself,” Crowley said.

    The Archdiocese of Hartford reviewed the incident and forwarded its report to Rome, according to the Hartford Courant.

    The report is now in the hands of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, a commission that deals with “safeguarding faith and morals and protecting their integrity from errors,” according to the Vatican’s website.

    Many have flocked to St. Thomas believing a miracle took place, according to WTIC-TV.

    “How can you look at everything that’s going on and not believe?” Jean Beck said. “It was such a glorious, wonderful, joyful thing that it brought peace to my heart.”

    After Mass on March 5, Crowley told parishioners what had apparently taken place that day.

    “We had something happen. It’s hard to say, actually. God provides, and it’s funny how God provides, and sometimes it comes in a weird way, in a mystical way, in a strange way,” he said.

    “One of our eucharistic ministers was running out of hosts, and yet they didn’t, and suddenly there [were] more hosts in the ciborium. God duplicated himself,” he said.

    “It’s really, really cool when God does those things, and it’s really, really cool when we realize what he’s done, and it just happened today. Very powerful, very awesome, very real, very shocking. But also, it happens, and today it happened,” he said.

    The Rev. Michael McGivney, a former priest at St. Thomas and the founder of the Knights of Columbus, has already had a miracle attributed to him, according to WTIC.

    The last eucharistic miracle recognized by the Vatican happened in Poland in 2013, when red streaks appeared in a host when it was put into water. “Those streaks were analyzed and found to contain fragments of heart muscle,” WTIC reported.

  27. RADIOACTIVE PANIC: Russians Missiles Hit Ukrainian Ammunition Depot in Khmelnytsky Causing Massive Explosion – Cache of British Depleted Uranium Tank Shells Destroyed – Gamma Radiation Spikes in the Region’s Atmosphere
    By Paul Serran May. 14, 2023 3:35 pm0 Comments

    The West’s proxy war against Russia in the Ukraine has led to progressively more deadly weapons systems and ammunition to be delivered to Zelensky’s Nazi regime.

    Possibly, the most controversial of these deliveries are the deadly radioactive shells for Challenger 2 tanks that the British government has given Ukraine.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr commented on Instagram:

    “In another reckless escalation, Britain has confirmed delivery of depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine. DU munitions should be banned. They partially vaporize on impact, poisoning the environment with uranium dust that causes cancer and horrific birth defects.”

    On Saturday, during a massive air and missile raid on Ukraine, Russian forces hit a ammunition depot in Khmelnytsky, in the western part of the country, causing gigantic explosions in the site.

    Intel Slava reported:

    “It is worth noting that panic reports are spreading in Ukrainian social networks that during the detonation of an ammunition depot in Khmelnytsky, a large batch of British tank ammunition with depleted uranium, which was recently brought to Ukraine along with Storm Shadow missiles, was also destroyed. As a result of a huge explosion, particles of depleted uranium could be dispersed on the territory of the Khmelnytsky region, which, taking into account the experience of Yugoslavia and Iraq, could lead to an outbreak of cancer in the medium term.”

    IMG_0724

    It didn’t take long for the results of the impact to be measurable scientifically.

    Slavyangrad on Telegram:

    “A clear spike in gamma radiation was detected in Khmelnitsky on or about May 12th, with emission continuing to rise the following day and remaining at the elevated level thereafter.

    Considering how little gamma radiation comes from depleted uranium, this clear spike in gamma radiation in Khmelnitsky indicates that there was very large stockpile of the DU munitions that was destroyed, raising the uranium dust into the air.

    By comparison, the towns of Ternopol, Khmilnik, and Novaya Ushitsa remained at their apparent regular, base levels. This indicates that the Khmelnitsky anomaly is indeed a spike and corroborates the claim that the stockpile in Khmelnitsky contained DU munitions.”

    While the UK authorities dismissed the danger posed by this kinds of shells, the experience in Yugoslavia and Iraq has shown how deadly in the medium term these vaporized depleted uranium shells can be.

  29. Comer Says He is Going to Drop a Bomb and Reveal Who in the White House is Intimidating Biden Crime Family Whistleblowers (VIDEO)
    By Cristina Laila May. 14, 2023 4:35 pm18 Comments

    House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) appeared on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the Biden Crime Family.

    Last week Comer identified the NINE Bidens who are implicated in the corruption.

    “Bank records show the Biden family, their associates, and their companies received over $10 million from foreign nationals and their companies,” Comer said.

    “Joe Biden’s son. Joe Biden’s brother. Joe Biden’s brother’s wife. Hunter Biden’s girlfriend/Beau Biden’s widow, Hunter Biden’s ex-wife. Hunter Biden’s current wife. And 3 children of the president’s son and the president’s brother. So we’re talking about grandchildren – a grandchild. That’s odd. Most people that work hard every day a grandchild doesn’t get a wire from a foreign national,” Comer said.

    Comer told Maria Bartiromo about the NINE Biden family members who received foreign payments totaling more than $10 million.

    James Comer then dropped this bomb — The informant on the Biden family has gone missing.

    “9 of the 10 people that we’ve identified… they’re 1 of 3 things: They’re either currently in court. They’re currently in jail. Or they’re currently missing,” Comer said.

    Comer added, “We have people who want to come forward, but honestly, Maria, they fear for their lives – not only are the Biden lawyers and the Biden White House intimidating them, the media is trying to intimidate and discredit them.”

    “This is stunning that some people are missing,” Maria Bartiromo said.

    Maria Bartiromo asked Comer if he knew who in the Biden White House was intimidating the informants and whistleblowers.

    “Do you know?” Bartiromo asked Comer.

    “I do know. We’re saving that for a later time,” Comer said.

    Hordes of illegal aliens have stormed the border since Title 42 expired on Friday.

    Title 42, a Trump-era policy that forced migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while their immigration case worked its way through the system expired.

    THOUSANDS of illegal aliens passed through the migrant processing center in El Paso, Texas on Friday.

    There is a max room capacity of 120 but 750 illegals were packed in there like sardines.

    Nearly all 750 illegals are military age males.

    Not a woman or child in sight.

    This is an invasion.

    The illegals are also infested with diseases.

    There have been reports of chickenpox, TB and STDs.

    “There have been cases of scabies, measles, covid, and bed bugs. Take care of your health,” officers added.
