The Left’s taste for totalitarianism is increasingly obvious. There have been calls from Leftists for the opponents of the still-unapproved vaccines to be shot (with a gun, not a hypodermic needle), or at the very least arrested and imprisoned, and on Thursday AP reported that Biden handlers had discussed “mandating vaccines for interstate travel,” but decided against doing so because “the administration worried that they would be too polarizing for the moment.” For the moment. That means we should watch for this particular trial balloon to be floated again after the establishment media has pounded the American people with fear propaganda for a few more months.
Even the fact that this idea has been broached should send chills down the spine of everyone who is aware of how totalitarian regimes work. Internal passports are one of their hallmarks, as they enable easy, centralized data collection about the population and its political leanings, along with ready knowledge of each individual’s whereabouts, which is always handy when the time comes for that knock on the door at 3 a.m. At a time when the Democratic leadership is doing everything it can to stir up hysteria about a fictional “insurrection” and talking about acting against a largely chimerical “white supremacist terrorism,” the idea of internal passports should be a matter of serious concern.
On December 27, 1932, the Soviet Union established the “Unified Passport System within the USSR,” severely restricting travel within the country and requiring Soviet citizens to carry passports for travel inside the workers’ paradise, so as to aid in “the removal of persons not engaged in industrial or other socially-useful work from towns and cleansing of towns from hiding kulaks, criminals and other antisocial elements.” “Kulaks” was the Stalin regime’s word for peasants they didn’t find sufficiently enthusiastic for the arrival of Communism; the internal passports were designed to aid in identifying and rooting out such undesirable elements and enemies of the regime.
Victor Davis Hanson recently pointed out that “once the delta variant arrived in force in early summer, earlier government assurances that the vaccinated were now free to resume a normal life lost credibility. Confused and mixed messages followed — simultaneously downplaying and exaggerating the efficacy of the vaccinations.” Yet in the face of this loss of credibility, Biden’s handlers have not eased off on their vaccination push, but have only intensified it. AP noted: “When the pace of vaccinations in the U.S. first began to slow, President Joe Biden backed incentives like million-dollar cash lotteries if that’s what it took to get shots in arms.” Yes, it’s a vaccine so safe, so effective, so widely trusted, that Biden’s handlers were willing to bribe Americans to get it.
The cash lotteries were the carrot; now comes the stick. “In just the past two weeks,” says AP: “Biden has forced millions of federal workers to attest to their vaccination status or face onerous new requirements. He’s met with business leaders at the White House to press them to do the same.” And that’s not remotely all. Biden’s handlers have also “taken steps toward mandating shots for people traveling into the U.S. from overseas.” Much more is coming, “including potential support for school districts imposing rules to prevent spread of the virus over the objection of Republican leaders.”
Public health is increasingly based on top-down, coercive public health mandates and the policing of intimate aspects of our private life.
Western societies, at least up to very recently, have distinguished themselves by their commitment to two fundamental principles.
The first is the principle that social life is open to all citizens, irrespective of the colour of their skin, their religious creed, their political beliefs, or their personal history, provided they obey rudimentary rules of decorum and civility.
The second is the principle that each person should be afforded a space of personal freedom and trusted to act responsibly, rather than micromanaged in the minutiae of their everyday decisions.
The public and governmental response to the Covid-19 pandemic across much of Europe and parts of North America profoundly threaten both of these bedrock principles. Personal freedom is increasingly morphing into an obligation to blindly submit to arbitrary and coercive government edicts, while the ideal of an open and inclusive society is being corrupted by the notion that only those who make the “right” health choices (as defined by certain public authorities) deserve full access to social life.
In many parts of Europe, people find themselves compelled, under duress, to comply with a string of odd health restrictions mandated by government, like asking customers to wear masks between sips of beer, requesting people to book into a hotel in order to enjoy indoor dining, or giving school lessons with one’s nose and mouth covered up.
Businesses, schools, universities, and restaurants live in constant fear of being shut down or found liable for “enabling” a Covid outbreak. They know they will be less liable in the event of an outbreak if they are seen to comply with whatever regulations the government prescribes, however irrational, contradictory, or inhumane.
Public health is increasingly based on top-down, coercive public health mandates, the policing of intimate aspects of our private life, and the abridgement of a broad range of civil liberties, including freedom of association, freedom of expression, freedom of movement, and freedom of worship.
The most recent step in the erosion of civil liberties under the auspices of public health is the introduction of vaccine passes. If you are not vaccinated and wish to travel between countries the European Union, you must now present a recent negative Covid test, obtained at your own expense.
Vaccine passes are now being extended in some European countries to domestic social venues. For example, Ireland, Austria, and Denmark, have made vaccination a legal precondition for access to restaurants, bars, and other social venues. President Macron has implemented vaccine passes across France. The UK government, having initially taken vaccination passes off the table, has now declared its intention to introduce them by the end of September for crowded venues.
These discriminatory measures have proved controversial, sparking protests in several major European cities, including Dublin, Paris, and Athens. Soon after President Macron announced his intention to make vaccine passes mandatory in a range of social venues, over 100,000 French citizens marched through the streets of France, chanting slogans like “Liberté” and “Passe de honte” (“Pass of Shame”).
People who protest against vaccine passes are not protesting principally on scientific or strictly medical grounds – even though the evidence for the potential efficacy of vaccine controls at reducing Covid infections is underwhelming. Rather, they are protesting against the negative impact of vaccine passes on the freedom and social standing of the unvaccinated.
Let’s start with the implications of a vaccine pass for freedom.
While a health pass would not directly mandate vaccination, it would make social life and travel significantly more burdensome for those who opt, based on their own preference or risk assessment, not to vaccinate. This is medical coercion in all but name, in direct conflict with the right to informed consent to medical treatment, a hallowed principle of medical ethics in the West.
As a rational being, a large part of my dignity resides in not being coercively recruited into projects, enterprises, or relationships that implicate my life in a decisive way, such as marriage, employment, or sexual relationships.
While there is significant political and philosophical disagreement over the limits of a person’s rational autonomy, and it cannot give anyone a blank check to act in a self-destructive or other-destructive manner, there is nonetheless a broad legal and philosophical consensus that it includes the right of adults of sound mind to decline medical interventions in their body, even if those interventions are intended for their own benefit.
Societies that have given public authorities the right to medicate or treat patients without their informed consent have gone down the path of racist and eugenic policies of the vilest sort.
Second, there is the issue of discrimination. Vaccine discrimination is no more ethically acceptable than discrimination based on race, sex, ethnicity, or religion. What possible justification could there be for systematically closing the doors of bars, restaurants, cinemas, and other social venues to customers who happen, for whatever reason, to have declined a vaccine?
If we punish an adult of sound mind for making a different judgment call than that of a government agency about which forms of treatment are most conductive to their personal health and well-being, we are removing agency from that person, treating him like a ward of State.
Furthermore, vaccine-based discrimination cuts directly against the ideal of equal citizenship, in which all law-abiding citizens can participate freely in social life, irrespective of their ethnicity, place of origin, or vaccination status.
The fact that Western governments would seriously propose turning unvaccinated citizens into a new social under-class shows just how blind they have become to core Western values such as the right to informed consent to medical treatment and the equal standing of all citizens in the public square.
We can only hope that ordinary citizens, as well as bar and restaurant owners, will have the courage and integrity to refuse to have any hand or part in all this. If they do not, Western governments will only be further emboldened to keep chipping away at our civil liberties, as they have been doing from day one of the pandemic.

Patriotism, individual rights and freedoms, property rights — the bedrock of our Constitution are now the ‘enemy.’ American has been overthrown. The election coup is complete.
You can avoid reality but you cannot the consequences of avoiding reality.
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released an advisory summarizing the current terrorism threat, and mentioned “grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions” as potential threats.
“The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence,” the department wrote. “These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions.”
Under the “additional details” heading, the department wrote:
Through the remainder of 2021, racially- or ethnically-motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) and anti-government/anti-authority violent extremists will remain a national threat priority for the United States. These extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of COVID-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks. Pandemic-related stressors have contributed to increased societal strains and tensions, driving several plots by domestic violent extremists, and they may contribute to more violence this year.
This was the first bullet point in this section, ahead of the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks on New York City.
The pandemic is a more common thread in the department’s assessment than foreign terrorists, even though the Taliban has been gaining ground in Afghanistan. The department also warned of “false narratives and conspiracy theories,” though it did allude to anti-police sentiment as well.
“Law enforcement have expressed concerns that the broader sharing of false narratives and conspiracy theories will gain traction in mainstream environments, resulting in individuals or small groups embracing violent tactics to achieve their desired objectives. With a diverse array of threats, DHS is concerned that increased outbreaks of violence in some locations, as well as targeted attacks against law enforcement, may strain local resources,” the department wrote.
DHS said it was responding to these threats by continuing “to identify and evaluate calls for violence, including online activity associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives, by known or suspected threat actors and provide updated information, as necessary.”
The DHS memo follows multiple claims from the Biden administration that “white supremacy” is the biggest threat to America.

Foreword by Fred Brownbill. Today’s blog subject came as a shock to me, as I am sure it will to many of you. It is truly unimaginable that any civilized country could put in place rules and regulations like this. The very fact that teachers are going to be forced to teach and accept this philosophy is tantamount to pure evil. As you read this comprehend we are talking about 4 years old being encouraged to change or identify as a different gender when at that age they can truly not fully comprehend anything like gender change or reassignment surgery. I have placed the link at the bottom of this blog with the original story which was sent to me by a concerned reader of this blog in the UK. If you think this is crazy, believe me, the thinking in America among the so called ‘woke’ is very similar and you could see this here. Please see the first comment below sent me by a reader.
Scotland will let pupils change gender aged FOUR without their parents’ consent – and tells teachers not to question a child’s request to choose a new name or use a different toilet
The Scottish government says school children aged four can change gender
Young pupils wishing to switch gender must be supported and listened to
The newly implemented guidance has been described as ‘shocking’
Schools have been told to have transgender books on their curriculum
Scotland will let pupils change gender aged FOUR without their parents’ consent – and tells teachers not to question a child’s request to choose a new name or use a different toilet.
Any pupil who decides they want to switch gender must be supported and listened to in school following the Scottish Government advice.
The guidance applies in primary schools, where the youngest children are only four or five, because ‘recognition and development of gender identity can occur at a young age’.
It also tells teachers not to question a child who says they want to transition to live as a boy or a girl – and instead ask for their new name and pronouns.
Primary and secondary schools have also been told to put books featuring transgender people on the curriculum, allow pupils to choose which changing room or toilets to use, and consider introducing a gender neutral uniform.
But the guidance was branded ‘shocking’ and led to concerns that children are being allowed to make life-changing decisions at too young an age.
The advice says: ‘Some young people are exploring their gender identity in primary school settings. Primary schools need to be able to meet the needs of these young people to ensure they have a safe, inclusive and respectful environment in which to learn.’

Defending the right to say NO to the so-called vaccines for COVID is a proxy battle for your constitutional rights.
You people who were coerced into getting the shots, listen up: this your fight too. The Marxist left will continue to attack your liberty. We must stand-up to the Marxists, whether you are jabbed or not jabbed. In this special edition of the Ledger Report, Graham Ledger offers tools, resources and links to be used in defending your right to work, play, eat, function without being forced to wear a mask, or get the shot, or any other form of American tyranny.
Graham also speaks with Scott Presler about his new effort to get Patriots involved in local politics, which is where the conservative effort needs to focus.
Marine Corps General David H. Berger on Monday rebuked Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s edict requiring all Armed Forces personnel to submit to Covid-19 vaccinations under threat of court martial or discharge, said a source in Gen. Berger’s office who overheard a heated conversation between them.
Gen. Berger telephoned the defense secretary minutes after he said in a press conference that the Covid-19 vaccination is needed to maintain military readiness and that he would enforce the mandatary vaccination policy regardless of FDA approval status.
“There will be no mandatory vaccinations for my Marines,” Gen. Berger said.
In a transcript of the call reviewed by Real Raw News, Gen. Berger lambasted Austin and branded him a traitor.
“Under no circumstances will Marines be compelled to take a potentially hazardous vaccination that the FDA won’t even fully endorse,” Gen. Berger told Austin. “You are a coward and a traitor, manipulated by people pushing bad policy on the men and women who provide security to our nation. Neither you nor your puppet president has authority to enforce such a policy.”
Austin argued that mandatory vaccinations have always been a requirement for soldiers enlisting into the Armed Forces, and they, as property of the U.S. government, have no right to decide whether to take the Covid-19 jab. The federal government and President Biden would decide for them, Austin said.
“They’re incapable of making informed decisions. So we, their leaders, make the big decisions they cannot,” Austin said. “Biden and Harris are in charge, not individual soldiers.”
Then Austin got political: “If conservatives and evangelicals see our fighting forces getting vaccinated, they’ll be more likely to get vaccinated themselves,” Austin said.
Gen. Berger said it was unfair to compare established vaccinations with a product that was rushed to market with little concern for side effects. He called the CDC and Dr. Fauci corrupt, and he asked Austin why the puppet administration hid from the public an NIH report linking the vaccination to thousands of fatalities.
“If someone dies, you say it was Covid-19. There’s a refusal to admit the vaccination carries side effects that can include death in certain individuals.”
“I’m not a physician. I’m the Secretary of Defense for Joseph R. Biden, and I follow orders,” Austin retorted.
“In case you haven’t heard, Biden’s not in charge of the military, and neither are you. You can sell whatever lies you want to the media. You sold your soul, Lloyd, and I hope you can live with yourself,” Gen. Berger said.
Gen. Berger said he had the support of other Joint Chiefs of Staff and would implore them to ignore unlawful orders coming from the illegitimate administration.
“If a soldier wants the vaccination, fine. If not, he’s not rolling up his sleeve. If you try to forcibly vaccinate even one of my Marines, you better come armed,” Gen. Berger said, and hung up the phone.
In a statement Monday afternoon, Biden said he strongly supports Austin’s message and that he is “eager to see” the Covid-19 vaccination added to the battery of vaccinations soldiers receive upon joining the military.

Along with many other commentators, I’ve reported on side effects associated with the coronavirus vaccines. Of particular concern are heart problems and, specifically, myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle.
Now, you’ll hear different stories about how common these issues are. Government officials and the medical establishment will claim they’re rare, while others say differently (and that the feds’ Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, is undercounting vaccine-coincident deaths). But when your anecdotal experience starts to align, suspiciously, with the warnings of danger, it’s eyebrow-raising.
I haven’t taken any COVID vaccines and have no intention of doing so. But I learned that a friend of mine had, by way of a complaint he registered: He developed heart inflammation, as he put it, after taking the shot and said he was on medication to treat it. He’s just one person, however.
Then, approximately a month later, which was also about a month ago, I had a conversation with an employee at a recreational site. He mentioned that he’d had a coronary two months after taking a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Oh, he understood that this didn’t prove cause and effect, but he was suspicious. He noted that he began experiencing cardiac symptoms after receiving the injections. Of course, this could have been coincidence.
A few days ago, however, I was at that recreational site again. I got to talking with a certain fellow, and he mentioned that his doctor had relegated him to engaging in only non-strenuous activity because he’d had a heart attack. A short time later, a light bulb went off in my head. I asked him, since my mind had wandered, “Hey, when did you say you had your heart attack?” “May,” he responded. Let me ask you, I then followed up with, “Did you receive a COVID vaccine?” He said yes, so I asked him when.
“April,” he replied.
Admittedly, all these men are older. My friend is 64, while the two other fellows were, respectively, approximately 70 and 60. But here’s the thing: Working from home and being an alien (as I like to put it), I don’t interact with the humans all that much. Nor did I conduct any kind of even limited investigation or seek these people out. Yet that’s three vaccine-coincident heart-ailment stories that have come my way.
Now, this has to be interpreted figuratively here, but as James Bond creator Ian Fleming put it, “One time is an accident. Two times is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.” When do these personal experiences relating to curiously congruent COVID vaccine stories stop being coincidence?
I’d never intended to take the shot, but what I’ve learned via research and my anecdotal experience has only stiffened my resolve in that regard.
Of course, everyone has to make his own decisions regarding health matters, as he’ll reap the benefits or suffer the consequences thereof. But for food for thought, I’ll present an alarming late July interview (video below) with renowned COVID doctor Peter McCullough. The man has quite the résumé (which you can read here) and said of the vaccine that “at this point in time, I really can’t recommend it to anybody.”
Of course, contradicting McCullough, the world’s Faucis and Rochelle Walenskys very much want us to get injected. And, really, this may be the best reason of all to be wary.
Bikers, motorcycle enthusiasts, tourists and onlookers have descended on South Dakota’s Black Hills for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Law enforcement officials say the first few days of this year’s rally has been among the busiest they’ve seen.
Some 700,000 people are predicted to celebrate the 81st iteration of the event, and their enthusiasm for motorcycles at the 10-day event that kicked off on Friday in Sturgis, the western South Dakota city.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has a solid track record when it comes to large turnouts. Average rally attendance each year has totaled about 485,000 rallygoers for the past two decades. Despite the social limitations of the coronavirus pandemic, last year’s rally brought in roughly 460,000 attendees.
“There are more people here in the 31 years I’ve been doing this,” Meade County Sheriff Ron Merwin told the Rapid City Journal on Saturday. Law enforcement in Sturgis and Meade County are reporting their calls for service during the first few days are up dramatically compared to previous years. Sturgis Police Chief Geody VanDewater said officers have issued 207 violations for open containers of alcohol since Friday.
Last year’s rally drew widespread criticism, as maskless attendees gathered, even while most in-person events across the country were canceled. This year, vaccines have made more gatherings possible, but Sturgis still stands out.
Again, even to the chagrin of Fauci and the CDC, health precautions are optional at Sturgis. Officials said the rally offers attendees access to coronavirus test, face masks and hand sanitizer stations, in addition to doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. And the city also allowed rallygoers to drink on public property, with the hope of preventing indoor crowding. But there are no testing or vaccine requirements to attend.
Republican Gov. Kristi Noem has given the rally her blessing and will appear in a charity ride. The event is a boon for tourism, powering over $800 million in sales, according to the state Department of Tourism. Also, the state’s Department of Health said the rally can be conducted safely.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally runs through Aug. 15 and will also feature musical performances from artists such as Kid Rock, Stone Temple Pilots and ZZ Top.

We are often led to believe that it is the Christian thing to do to keep the southern border open. But is that really the case? This question is all the more acute in our nation’s battle against the spread of COVID-19.
President Biden is acting as if there were one standard in dealing with COVID for law-abiding American citizens and another standard for those who break the law—as in the example of the illegal aliens streaming through our porous southern border.
Gary Bauer in his End of Day Report (7/29/21) notes: “While the CDC is forcing vaccinated Americans to mask up again, and the big teachers’ unions are suggesting our schools might not reopen in the fall, Biden is leaving our southern border wide open. Six thousand illegal aliens are pouring across the southern border each and every day….These migrants are untested. They’re unvaccinated. Many are refusing to take the COVID vaccines. And many are infected with COVID.” Furthermore, he reports that at least 50,000 migrants have been released throughout the country. And outbreaks of COVID are being reported in border detention facilities.
Dr. William Donohue, the president of the Catholic League, wrote an open letter in late July to the Secretary for Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra: “According to recent whistleblowers, children living in HHS migrant shelters are living in subhuman conditions….After enduring a long, arduous journey, these children are sent to camps where Covid is running rampant. In the girls’ tents, lice is left untreated while the boys turn riotous because of the poor conditions they are forced to endure during their detainment at HHS facilities.”
Meanwhile, Governor Greg Abbot of Texas is trying to close the border—in part to stop the spread of COVID—and yet he’s getting direct resistance from the Biden administration.
The Associated Press (7/30/21) reports: “The Biden administration sued Texas…to prevent state troopers from stopping vehicles carrying migrants on grounds that they may spread COVID-19, warning that the practice would exacerbate problems amid high levels of crossings on the state’s border with Mexico.”
Vice President Kamala Harris, tasked by Biden to head the border crisis, says we have to address the “root causes” of why these people are coming before we can seal the borders. One may well ask, “Why is that our burden?” And besides, that could take forever. It’s like saying that before we can administer first aid to a shooting victim, we have to solve the crime first.
The founders of America made it clear when they created the Constitution that their goals were to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” Clearly, Biden’s open borders violate many of these key goals.
Dr. Richard Land, president emeritus of Southern Evangelical Seminary, says, “Open borders is national suicide. Polls show us that 170 million people in Latin America would like to come to the United States. I don’t blame them, if I lived in one of those countries, I’d want to come here too. But we cannot absorb 170 million people.”
Such an overrun of our country could ultimately cause a collapse into anarchy.
Dave Kubal, CEO and president of Intercessors for America—a group dedicated to praying for our country—notes, “We are a nation of immigrants….I completely believe in an immigration system, but it has to be legal…94% of those people that come across the border, don’t show up for their amnesty case, and so they’re just living illegally in the United States of America.”
But aren’t open borders compassionate? Gary Bauer once told me, “To suggest that because God loves all human beings including migrants, that the United States must open its borders and allow literally millions of people to walk into the country would mean that God was endorsing the end of America as we know it. This country can’t support and pay for millions of millions of people coming into the country.”
But, again, aren’t open borders the Christian position? In his book, We Will Not Be Silenced, Pastor Erwin Lutzer writes, “I reject the notion that those of us who believe in secure borders are racist and lack compassion….without enforced border control, we have in effect, lost our country. The long-term consequences are devastating.”
The left often chafes at the idea of securing the border—although I’m sure these same people lock their own doors at night. How can our country be safe and secure if the borders are wide open? Isn’t it more compassionate to keep the borders closed, especially at a time when many illegal aliens are dying or getting sick in the migration—and especially as we are experiencing new and perilous strains of COVID?

By: Red State | Jennifer Oliver O’Connell | August 11, 2021:
In a surprising move, the CEOs of Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and American Airlines have decided they will not require existing employees to get the COVID-19 vaccination
The CEOs of Southwest Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines say they are not requiring unvaccinated employees to receive the shot, breaking with United Airlines’ mandate that workers get vaccinated by October 25 or face getting fired.
In an internal memo obtained by CNN, Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly said the airline will “continue to strongly encourage” that workers get vaccinated, but the airline’s stance has not shifted.
“Obviously, I am very concerned about the latest Delta variant, and the effect on the health and Safety of our Employees and our operation, but nothing has changed,” Kelly said.
United, on the other hand, issued its own mandate requiring all 67,000 of its U.S. employees to become vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 25, or face termination. Frontier and Hawaiian Airlines have followed in the footsteps of United, mandating all employees receive the vaccine or lose their jobs.
Both Southwest and Delta rushed to reassure its employees that it had no plans of changing its policy, even after the United decision.
In a memo, Southwest made it clear to employees that its stance has not changed despite United’s decision, according to CNN. American also will not be changing its vaccine requirements.
In May, Delta began requiring new employees to get vaccinated, but allowed current employees to remain unjabbed. The company’s CEO told CNBC it was difficult to require shots without full Food and Drug Administration approval.
The Delta CEO went on “Good Day New York” with the news that 75 percent of its workforce had already been vaccinated, even without a company-wide mandate.
New employees for Delta and United will be required to obtain the COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment. American and Southwest Airlines have not made any new employment changes.
In a statement, American Airlines said there was “no update at this time” to its vaccination policy. “We are strongly encouraging our team members to get vaccinated, and we are offering an incentive for those who do.”

It doesn’t matter where the Covid virus originated. What matters is what politicians in the United States have done, using the Covid virus as an excuse, to the American population. Covid has now become the political weapon of choice to enforce draconian policies upon each and every American citizen.
Covid is the newest politically correct path to power.
Speak ill of Covid and the vaccines and you will be banned on social media, chastised by your peers and even fired from your job.
From mandating masks, to social distancing, to lockdowns, to mandated vaccinations, to vaccine passports and finally to Covid detention centers, these paths all lead to tyranny.
Covid-19 again, and yet I was stunned by this statistic: We have had more COVID-19 deaths in America than the total number who died as a result of the combined nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. American deaths are currently somewhere north of 220,000 fatalities. The average estimates of deaths occurring in the four months following the two Japanese bombings is 180,000.
[ … ]
The full weight of the pandemic’s effects is realized, of course, by more than morbidity and death rates. Jobless rates are climbing again. According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Department, there have been 1.8 million jobless claims in Ohio over the past six months, more than all claims filed in Ohio over the previous four years. Ohio is short 450,000 jobs of a full recovery and the US is short 10.7 million jobs of a full recovery.
Fast forward to today and the Biden Administration.
I have live through four pandemics. Before Covid the most recent two were SARS and H1N1, which occurred under the Obama administration. Covid is a mutation, or weaponized version, of the SARS virus.
People who the CDC deem as high risk would be required to go to “green zones” for six months to whenever they allow you to leave. It is a dangerous measure that the government can’t get behind. We’ve seen how camps have begun and how they turned out across history, and they’ve only led to oppression and mass death.
The unvaccinated will likely soon enter that list, and if President Joe Biden and the CDC have their way, they’ll take the unvaccinated to these camps and lock them down indefinitely.
Politicians from school boards to the U.S. Congress have implemented policies that have taken away individual liberties and replaced them with government mandates in the name of “healthcare.” The Center for Disease Control has been the tip of the spear in leading us down the path of tyranny using science as its weapon of policy choices.
About three-fourths of people infected in a Massachusetts Covid-19 outbreak were fully vaccinated against the coronavirus with four of them ending up in the hospital, according to new data published Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new data, published in the U.S. agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also found that fully vaccinated people who get infected carry as much of the virus in their nose as unvaccinated people, and could spread it to other individuals.
Yet the Biden administration is demanding, actually mandating, that all Americans get jabbed or else.
Conclusion
Getting vaccinated is a personal choice that should be made between each individual and one’s doctor. For the government to mandate it is against freedom of choice.

Has there ever been a time in history when the public has been asked to “trust the science” more?
This week the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report which UN Secretary General António Guterres described as “a code red for humanity”. It predicts catastrophic climate change unless nations make draconian cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly a hundred scientists were listed as the authors of the report.
At the same time, most of the world is being advised to take vaccines against Covid-19 and submit to onerous lockdowns and social distancing. Epidemiologists announce guidelines flanked by politicians.
Critics of climate change science and Covid-19 vaccines are fighting back with their own studies. Some is science; some is pseudoscience. US President Joe Biden has savagely criticised social media companies for allowing “fake news” to reinforce anti-vaxxers. “They’re killing people,” he said last month.
Fake news is putting the mantra of “trust the science” through a fearful stress test. Is it possible to create a vaccine against this blizzard of misinformation?
Some social science researchers have experimented with “cognitive vaccines” in the hope of getting people to examine the evidence and make rational decisions, rather than relying on advice from their cousins or Instagram influencers.
But says an article in the leading science journal PNAS, “researchers have found that this is not as simple as providing people with correct information and hoping it will supplant false beliefs”.
One disturbing feature of fake news is that a willingness to “trust the science” does not necessarily inoculate people against the allure of pseudoscience.
In a recent article in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found that the mantra “trust the science” does not work.
Paradoxically, they found that people who trusted science could be more vulnerable to being duped:
We identify two critical determinants of vulnerability to pseudoscience. First, participants who trust science are more likely to believe and disseminate false claims that contain scientific references than false claims that do not.
Second, reminding participants of the value of critical evaluation reduces belief in false claims, whereas reminders of the value of trusting science do not. We conclude that trust in science, although desirable in many ways, makes people vulnerable to pseudoscience.
As the researchers lamented, this is “paradoxical”. People who trust science, who are presumably reasonably well educated, are supposed to spurn “fake news”. However, they found that “the mere presence of scientific labels in the article facilitated belief in the misinformation and increased the probability of dissemination”. In other words, a gloss of scientific credibility actually increased people’s vulnerability to pseudoscience.
And this seemed to be true even for many people with higher degrees.
The authors of the study conclude that public officials need to urge people to be curious and critical – to think for themselves, in other words – rather than swallow the recommendations of scientists (or pseudoscientists) uncritically.
As the astronomer and popular science writer Carl Sagan said: “One of the great commandments of science is, ‘Mistrust arguments from authority.’ … Too many such arguments have proved too painfully wrong. Authorities must prove their contentions like everybody else.”
"Tlaib's maskless display comes the same day the representative slammed Senator Rand Paul for urging Americans to resist new guidelines coming from the CDC in a newly released video." https://t.co/eevWvVv1lF

This video was made in collaboration with Academy of Ideas. They create videos explaining the ideas of history’s great thinkers in order to help supply the world with more knowledge, to empower the individual, and to promote freedom.
A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century. This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?
The thirst for knowledge has consumed humanity since the dawn of civilization. However, until recently there have been numerous “gate-keepers” to the world of knowledge. Prior to the rise of the Internet most knowledge was conveyed to the populace through a centralized educational system, the state and the mass media. What this meant was that whomever controlled these institutions controlled the ideas that spread through a population.
The advent of the Internet has initiated a revolution like no other. The Internet is smashing all barriers to knowledge by granting individuals across the globe free and easy access to the vast library of ideas built up by humanity. For the first time in history we can seriously say that knowledge is free – the contemporary gatekeepers do not have the capacity to censor and control information on mass scale. At least, not yet.
The goal of this website is to further the spread of knowledge and freedom. We create content examining the ideas put forth by humanity’s greatest philosophers, psychologists, and economists. These individuals left us with a commodity more valuable than all others. Some people have said that money rules the world, some say politicians, some say weapons – they are all wrong. The truth is that ideas rule the world, they always have and always will. It is ideas that will, for better or worse, shape the destiny of mankind.
“Thoughts that come on doves’ feet guide the world.” (Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra)
Academy of Ideas is the creation of two brothers from Canada. All of the content is produced by us. We are not supported by or affiliated with any organization or university. Our goal is to spread the message of individual liberty and empowerment to as many people as possible.

“Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” – George Orwell
“Wherever the real power in a government lies, there is the danger of oppression.” – James Madison
“The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.” – Dr. Joseph Mengele, physician in the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, known for performing grisly human experiments on camp inmates, including children, for which Mengele was called the “Angel of Death.”
“The press is our chief ideological weapon.” – Russian leader, Nikita Krushev
“Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.” – John F. Kennedy
America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) attorney, Thomas Renz, whose law experience began with his mentor, Nuremburg Prosecutor and celebrated international lawyer and scholar, Henry T. King, Jr., said, “If you truly understand what has happened here, it is at best negligent homicide, and at worst murder.”
“Stop the Shot…The Rest of the Story Conference” aired on August 4th with dozens of international leaders exposing new medical data on vaccine risks. The online meeting featured Dr. Peter McCullough, Attorney Thomas Renz, Dr. Michael Yeadon, Sister Deidre Byrne, Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, Dr. Jose Trasancos, and other prominent physicians, scientists, attorneys, and religious leaders who discussed vital information related to the C-19 jab, clinical trials, and more.
Thousands upon thousands have died because of the willful misconduct of people like Tony Fauci, who have consistently violated their oath of service to We The People and Our Constitution, and in doing so are potentially guilty of the greatest fraud ever enacted in human history.
In 2005, Fauci’s National Institutes of Health documented Chloroquine as a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread. Yet an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) was put on this very safe 65-year-old drug. Thousands of elderly Americans with multiple comorbidities died for lack of clinical care, and we were told that only a “vaccine” would stop the pandemic that 99.75% of people recover from. Pure unadulterated hogwash! Lonely unnecessary deaths of the elderly occurred.
Democrat attorney Jonathan Turley reported that Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology at Baylor College of Medicine is calling for federal hate-crime protections to be extended to cover criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci and other scientists. The frequent MSNBC and CNN guest wants Congress to expand hate crimes to “scientists currently targeted by far-right extremism in the United States.” More censorship to protect the authoritarian comrades who hate America’s God given freedoms.
The C-19 pandemic will never end since half of America has already been inoculated, thus ushering in the bloated totalitarian dictatorship.
Few Americans “truly understand” what is being done to them. Watch the following video where Mark Dice asks Californians if the un-jabbed should be locked up to protect those who took the jab. A majority of people signed his petition. One elderly gentleman said to him, “That’s fascism.” He’s right, that’s exactly what this is, and the despots in power and their comrades in mainstream media would love to see this happen and violate the most fundamental rights of one’s personal liberty.
The medical (but not practicing) power elites tell us it’s the un-jabbed who are causing outbreaks, but that hasn’t been the case on several all-inoculated cruise ships where travelers have come down with C-19 (Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise Lines). Masks were forced on all, as though that does one bit of good.
Hundreds of C-19 inoculated staffers at two San Francisco hospitals have tested positive for the virus, which begs the question, Why do we need a Covid-jab passport? They obviously don’t work! Because the whole danged thing is a lie, even the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that Covid is nothing more than another flu. Duh! With a 99.75% recovery, WHO knew this long ago.
Last week, Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, told Wolf Blitzer that the C-19 jabs, which are still under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), don’t perform as well as advertised. What gave you the first clue Sherlock? “They continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death, they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.” Total rubbish!
The majority of people who have taken the vax have come down with a worse case of Covid, and they’re calling it the Delta variant. Sidney, Australia and Israel are reporting that all new hospitalized C-19 patients have been vaccinated. Sars-CoV-2 is the cause of C-19, but has never been isolated. Messenger RNA inventor Dr. Robert Malone tells us that the Pfizer inoculation in the waning phase is causing the virus to replicate more efficiently than it would otherwise. It is called antibody dependent enhancement or less precisely, disease enhancement.
As explained in previous articles, the PCR tests were useless and for Walensky to say the injection works well for Delta means she’s purposely Machiavellian in her deceit. Dozens of physicians and scientists, including Dr. Michael Yeadon who was the VP and chief scientist at Pfizer, have told us there is no test for Delta variant. He has openly stated, “Your government is lying to you about the C-19 vaccine and it could lead to death.” He described how “demonstrably false” their propaganda is, and that “forced vaccines and vaccine passports are a gateway to mass killing in the billions.”
Inoculation Propaganda
Dr. Yeadon says it’s a lie that if you’re asymptomatic you are still a carrier, that lockdowns work, that masks have any protective value, that variants are scary things, and that we need to close international borders because of variants. Variants are always less than .3% of the original, so if you’ve had the original, any variant is not worrisome. Makers of the messenger RNA inoculation have claimed their jab covers the variants, but the reality is, the so-called “variants” are made by the injection. New York’s Dr. Vladimir Zelenko says he’s not concerned about variants either.
In a recent article, Yeadon lists his seven main points against the propaganda lies. The last two are telling:
Why are they doing this? Since no benign reason is apparent, the use of vaccine passports along with a “banking reset” could issue in a totalitarianism unlike the world has ever seen. Recalling the evil of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler, “mass depopulation” remains a logical outcome.
The fact that this at least could be true means everyone must “fight like crazy to make sure that system never forms.”
There’s more…
“Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Testing Fraud” by Dr. Michael Horowitz gives new meaning to “experimental vaccines” and lab rats. On January 4, 2021, the honorable editor of the British Medical Journal, Peter Doshi, presented multiple concerns regarding the Pfizer and Moderna companies’ C-19 vaccine testing protocol for determining efficacy. He concluded most assuredly that the public requires “more details and the raw data.”
AFLDS reported that there’s good reason Pfizer has fought to hide the details of their contracts. All of the empirical clinical methods used by so many physicians to cure patients of C-19 via assortments of cheap and safe drugs, especially Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, were suppressed worldwide. Why? Because the agreement countries had with Pfizer does not allow them to escape their contract, which states that “even if a drug will be found to treat C-19, the contract cannot be voided.” Pfizer even gets to tell you how many jabs you’ll need. Read the full agreement here.
Renowned physicians and scientists are absolutely correct to tell everyone to avoid the jabs.
Most people think that the government is watching out for them, and when they are told that vaccines are safe and effective, they believe it in part because they know that these products have been approved by the FDA. However, most people also know little to nothing about vaccines or how they go through the FDA vaccine approval process and on to the market. Here are five horrifying facts about this process that neither public health officials nor the mainstream media are disclosing to you.
The Government is the Vaccine Industry.
The FDA Relies on the Vaccine Manufacturer’s Own Studies.
Vaccine Manufacturers Don’t Do Safety Studies the Way You Think They Do…
Pharmaceutical Companies Can Pay the FDA to “Fast Track” Their Products.
Vaccine Manufacturers Have Legal Immunity from Damages, (which we knew).
Mandated Inoculations
We know about NY Mayor DeBlasio’s draconian mandated vax for certain indoor activities. But there’s more. California Governor Newsom has implemented a first in the nation standard to require all state workers and workers in health care and high-risk congregate settings to either show proof of full vaccination or be tested at least once per week, and encourage all local government and other employers to adopt a similar protocol.
The Pentagon has mandated all military must receive the C-19 vax. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Monday said he would make C-19 vaccination mandatory for U.S service members by mid-September.
United Airlines will require its 67,000 U.S. employees to get vaccinated against C-19 by no later than Oct. 25 or risk termination, a first for major U.S. carriers that will likely ramp up pressure on rivals.
Faced with the explosive growth of a new “virusvariant,” the state of California and the city of New York gave workers a choice: Get vaccinated or face weekly testing. And an array of hospitals from coast to coast, including the prestigious Mayo Clinic, declared they would require staff to get vaccinated, following a joint plea from the nation’s major medical groups.
A union representing hundreds of sheriff’s deputies protecting the City and County of San Francisco warned on Friday that “a percentage” of members “will retire early or seek employment elsewhere” if they are forced to get vaccinated against C-19.
There are many more…ever notice how nothing is mentioned regarding those who have recovered from C-19 and don’t need a vaccine because they have natural immunity given to us by God?
The law is clear, if anyone mandates receiving an experimental unlicensed vaccine, you have to be armed with resources for yourself. AFLDS has those resources.
Conclusion
Walk Out Wednesday on August 11, 2021 is being planned all over the country. The federal EUA law and the FDA, including the FDA Fact Sheets, state unequivocally that each person has the “option to accept or refuse” the shots. These shots are experimental and investigational and have not been licensed by the FDA. The Nuremberg Code also states that voluntary consent “is absolutely essential.” Healthcare workers and first responders have run to the frontlines. They are heroes, and they should not be terminated for making a personal decision to refuse the shots.
Even if you are not being forced to get the C-19 shots, stand in solidarity with others who are being mandated. Stand with your friends, healthcare workers, veterans, or those who serve our veterans, students, and millions of others who are being forced to take the jabs or be terminated or removed from school.
