FBI Raided Mar-a-Lago to Seize Documents that Likely Implicated the Bureau’s own Agents in Russia Hoax

/in , , , , , , , , /by

This would certainly explain it. These corrupt, politicized agents of the Democrat Party were acting to protect themselves, and to keep the truth about their coup against Donald Trump from being fully known. The party that waxes so tremendously self-righteous about “insurrection” and their need to protect “our democracy” is actually the party that is threatening to destroy our free republic altogether. They are the party of the oligarchy of corporations and elites, the party of the rich getting richer and expanding their hegemony, the party of exclusion and hatred masquerading as the party of inclusion and tolerance. They lie constantly; if they’re telling the truth about the raid on Mar-a-Lago, that would be the biggest bombshell of all.

FBI Agents behind Trump Raid under Investigation in Durham’s Russia Probe

by Frank Bergman, Slay, August 14, 2022:

Agents who were behind the FBI’s raid on President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago are under investigation for abusing their power in Special Counsel John Durham’s Russia Hoax probe, according to reports.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry has revealed that the FBI may have had a personal stake in the raid on Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida residence.

According to Sperry, agents may have been searching for classified documents related to the Obama-era Spygate operation.

Earlier this week, Sperry was suspended by Twitter for sharing the new findings related to the raid.

“DEVELOPING: Investigators reportedly met back in June w Trump & his lawyers in Mar-a-Lago storage rm to survey docs & things seemed copasetic but then FBI raids weeks later,” Sperry tweeted before his account was suspended.

“Speculation on Hill FBI had PERSONAL stake & searching for classified docs related to its #Spygate scandal.”

On Saturday, Sperry followed up with more bombshell information regarding the FBI agents involved in the raid.

According to Paul Sperry, the federal agents involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid are under investigation by Durham for their possible role in the anti-Trump Russia Hoax.

In a social media post on Saturday, Sperry said:

Developing: Sources say the FBI agents and officials who were involved in the raid on former President Trump’s home work in the same Counterintelligence Division of the FBI that investigated Trump in the Russiagate hoax and are actively under criminal investigation by Special Counsel John Durham for potentially abusing their power investigating Trump in the Russian fraud and therefore have a potential conflict of interest and should have been RECUSED from participating in this supposed ‘espionage’ investigation at Mar-a-Lago….

It appears the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago to seize documents that likely implicated the bureau’s own agents.

Yet, it now appears that they’re claiming the records were related to nuclear weapons to justify the raid.

The Institutionalization of Transgenderism

/in , , , , , , , , /by

A doctor at Boston Children’s Hospital put out a video selling “gender affirming hysterectomies” for children with gender dysphoria.

Related procedures, like double mastectomies, are available at the Hospital to minors as young as 15 without parental consent.  Not to be outdone, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is putting out videos promoting puberty blockers for kids.  Ca-ching, ca-ching.

The institutionalization of transgenderism is occurring, not only in children’s hospitals, but in the federal government and world medical societies.  The Biden administration spent one and a half million dollars to develop feel-good programs for transgender inmates.  It is also proposing a new rule to force private insurers to pay for children’s sex change drugs and surgery.  The World Professional Association for Transgender Health lowered its recommended age for transgender drugs by two years to age 14 and by one year for some surgeries to age 15.   Adults making choices in these matters is one thing, but there is a rush on to push life-altering transgenderism on kids who aren’t even legally competent to consent to a car loan.

That way lies trouble.  The FDA placed a warning label on certain puberty blockers after reports of tumor-like masses in the brain, high blood pressure, and eye paralysis.  Transgender advocates are trying to get to confused kids online, just like child sex predators, and telling kids how to get sex change drugs without their parents’ knowing about it.  Stories are piling up about how transgenderism is separating parents from their children.   Transgenderism is also ruining lives.  More and more stories are piling up about young people who regret going down the road with sex change drugs and surgery, many of whom now want to detransition.  [More here and here.]

Meanwhile, the transgender narrative keeps getting crazier and crazier.  Germany is weighing a plan to let people change their gender declarations annually for government purposes.  Transgender activists are pushing anthropologists not to identify ancient human remains as male or female.  A blood donor was turned away because he refused to answer the question whether he had ever been pregnant.  This insanity is getting institutionalized.  The dictionary definition of ‘female’ is now those who identify as the ‘opposite of male’.

But the institutionalization of transgenderism is not inevitable.  It’s possible to fight back and win.  Britain will shut down its only gender clinic for minors after an investigation found doctors there were skipping all the normal case assessments and rushing even 10-year-olds into sex change drugs.  We need a few investigations here.  I suggest we start with Boston Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.  Ca-ching, ca-ching.

Brigham Young University stopped offering voice-coaching services for transgender clients at its speech clinic.  But it’s really Florida that’s showing the way.  Florida will prohibit Medicaid coverage for sex change surgeries and drugs, starting August 21st.   The Florida medical board is moving to prohibit doctors in the state from providing sex change drugs and surgery to minors under 18.  Victories like these are possible in your state.  If you don’t know how to organize, contact me at tips@liberato.us and I’ll put you in touch with people who do.

Biden’s Handlers Released 324 Unvetted Afghan Evacuees on Terror Watchlist into the U.S.

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Biden’s catastrophically botched withdrawal from Afghanistan was bad enough in itself, diminishing America’s standing in the world and projecting an image of weakness that has encouraged and emboldened enemies of our nation worldwide. The fallout from it, however, could be incalculably worse. A Defense Department (DoD) whistleblower has revealed that 324 of the Afghans whom U.S. forces brought to the United States as the disaster in Afghanistan was unfolding appeared on the department’s Biometrically Enabled Watchlist (BEWL), which includes terrorists, and yet were admitted into the country without being vetted. No one who has been watching the spreading dumpster fire that is the Biden administration could possibly be surprised.

Senators Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) have called upon the DoD to investigate. On Thursday, they wrote to DoD Acting Inspector General Sean O’Donnell about their “concern over new allegations raised by a Department of Defense (DoD) whistleblower. This information may show the Biden Administration’s failure to vet those evacuated from Afghanistan was even worse than the public was led to believe. The following allegations demand an immediate investigation by your office.” There should indeed be an investigation, but in these days of the hyper-politicization of everything and concomitant wokeification of the government bureaucracy, a genuinely illuminating investigation is about as likely to happen as Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis getting the Democrat nomination for president in 2024.

Epoch Times reported Friday that “the BEWL identifies individuals whose biometrics have been collected and determined by analysts to be threats or potential threats to national security, including known suspected terrorists.” But instead of stopping those who appeared on this watchlist, the whistleblower contents that “White House and DoD officials instructed agency personnel to ‘cut corners’ and not conduct full fingerprint tests on the evacuees at staging bases in Europe, ‘in order to promote the rushed evacuation from Afghanistan.’”

The whistleblower also charges that “Department of Homeland Security (DHS) staff were authorized to delete old biometric data at their discretion.” Really, what could possibly go wrong? Hawley and Johnson point out, with admirable understatement, that this is a “troubling development that could threaten national security and public safety.”

Yeah, it could. And as it was all initially unfolding, Joe Biden was doing what he does best: lying. Sensitive to criticism arising from the importation of unvetted Afghans in the U.S., Biden declared in September 2021 that “planes taking off from Kabul are not flying directly to the United States. They’re landing at U.S. military bases and transit centers around the world. At these sites where they are landing, we are conducting thorough scrutiny — security screenings for everyone who is not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.” State Department spokesman Ned Price added: “Before anyone who is evacuated from Afghanistan comes to this country, they undergo a rigorous vet. Unless and until they complete that vet they will not be in a position to come to the U.S.”

In reality, however, there appeared to be a concerted effort to bring unvetted Afghans into the United States. At least 82,000 Afghans were brought to the U.S. without being vetted. In October 2021, Senate Republicans noted in a memo, accordingto the Washington Examiner, “senior officials across the departments of Homeland Security, Defense, State, and Justice described a disastrous screening and vetting process.” Immigration officials accepted uncritically what Afghans said about who they were, without making any effort to check their stories. According to the Examiner, “the large majority of people, approximately 75%, evacuated were not American citizens, green card holders, Afghan Special Immigrant Visa holders, or applicants for the visa.”

Special Immigrant Visas (SIV) had been given to Afghans who aided U.S. forces in Afghanistan. In September 2021, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas revealed that “of the 60,000 Afghans who have entered the U.S., nearly 8,000 are either U.S. citizens or residents, while about 1,800 are SIV holders, having obtained visas after assisting the U.S. military.” That meant that 52,000 of the 60,000 Afghans who had come into the country were not U.S. citizens or SIV holders. In November 2021, Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) stated that only 700 of the 82,000 Afghans now in the U.S. were SIV holders.

The Examiner noted that Biden’s reception of these Afghans “violated long-standing U.S. government policies for handling refugees.” This was a deliberate decision: “Refugees are to be screened and vetted before being admitted to the U.S. through an extensive process that includes multiple interrogations. Rather than follow the protocol, the Biden administration instructed federal law enforcement and military officials handling the evacuations and processing to adhere to less stringent standards.”

Hawley confronted FBI director Christopher Wray about all this Thursday. According to Epoch Times, “Wray wasn’t able to give a clear answer about the FBI’s efforts to track down and interview the 324 Afghan evacuees.” Once again, no one should be surprised. Clearly this is all going the way the Leftist elites want it to go.

The Mar-a-Lago Raid is a Preview of a Rigged 2024 Election

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The Democrats will prosecute their way to victory.

On Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray cut short his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee to fly the FBI’s private jet to his family’s vacation home. At the hearing, Wray had admitted that disciplinary action against FBI personnel involved in Russiagate abuses had been “slowed down” and refused to call Russiagate a “hoax”.

On Monday, President Trump revealed that Mar-a-Lago had been raided by “a large group of FBI agents”. Any warrant for such a raid would have been signed off on by Attorney General Merrick Garland and his associates in the Biden administration which expects to face the former president in the next election. Wray, who quietly listened to complaints about the politicization of the FBI from Senator Grassley and Cruz, among others, would have known what was coming.

The New York Times reported that, “according to two people familiar with the investigation, appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, after he left the White House.”

Back in May, the paper revealed that a federal grand jury investigation had been convened over boxes of “government documents, mementos, gifts and letters” taken to Mar-a-Lago. There was no federal investigation when the Clintons left the White House with $190,000 worth of “china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts”. The FBI didn’t come knocking at Chappaqua.

This isn’t about the documents. Just as Russiagate was not about the Russians. It’s not about the 15 boxes of documents, letters and assorted presidential records and gifts that were hurriedly packed up and sent off to Mar-a-Lago, most of which were later returned when the National Archives requested them, this is about the 2024 presidential election.

The assorted Trump investigations were not motivated by concerns about national security, political norms and they’re certainly not driven by sudden worries about mishandling classified documents. And yet the same media which spent years explaining why mishandling classified documents was no big deal when the Clintons did it will explain why it’s a big deal now.

While the FBI handed out immunity agreements to Hillary Clinton staffers who mishandled classified documents and erased their devices, expect any Trump staffers to be hit with the highest possible charges and penalties, and for any information seized from them to be used to develop cases against Trump and other administration figures. That’s what this is really about.

The Mar-a-Lago raid is a more aggressive version of the same Russiagate tactics which were aimed at busting and flipping Trump associates, while gathering any materials that can be spun off into related or entirely unrelated investigations. The FBI raid will not result in charges against Trump, but will probably be used to hit staffers and aides with security violations. This has the dual purpose of keeping them from serving in any future administration and putting them through the wringer, running up massive legal bills and getting them to testify against Trump.

And it’s only happening because the Democrats expect to run against Trump in 2024.

There’s no coincidence that Trump investigations have once again ramped up, after quieting down, as the former president began sending signals that he intends to run again. If Trump had announced that he was formally retiring, there would be no FBI agents at Mar-a-Lago. Instead they would be headed to the homes of any of the potential conservative frontrunners who would suddenly be facing subpoenas, entrapment and wiretapping run out of D.C.

Biden’s abysmal polling makes it impossible for him to win by any means short of this. And the Democrats have no popular candidates waiting in the wings. Anyone else they run, from Kamala to Buttigieg to Bernie to Newsom to Hillary stands no chance of winning over the public.

All that’s left is this.

The Obama administration used the Justice Department to rig the 2016 election. The Biden administration began the same process early on. It has weaponized the DOJ in previously unprecedented ways to shape the voting map, to rally its base and investigate its enemies.

It will get worse as the apparatchiks of a lame duck administration truly get desperate.

As President Trump pointed out,  “Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E-mail AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing happened to hold her accountable.”

The FBI handed out immunity agreements to top Hillary aides  in exchange for access to their devices and then went on to destroy laptops even though Congress wanted access to them.

Over 2,000 emails on Hillary’s server were found to be classified. 37 pages were deemed top secret. Senator Grassley listed 588 security violations. Hillary’s unconvincing defense of mishandling classified information was that she didn’t know what a “C” stood for.

From the removal of boxes of documents from Vince Foster’s office after his suicide to Bill’s National Security Advisor Sandy Berger stuffing classified documents from the National Archives into his pants and socks, the Clintons have made document theft their specialty.

And it’s all too typical for Trump to be accused of the crimes that the Clintons committed.

But the alleged crimes in a political investigation don’t matter. What does matter is the strong signal from the Biden administration that what the Obama administration did quietly, it will do loudly, aggressively targeting a prospective political opponent with a series of politically motivated investigations using the full force and authority of the Justice Department.

That is a constitutional crisis.

The allegations and investigations will continue to shift as they have since Day 1. Whether it’s the Russians, the Ukrainians, Jan 6, and now classified document handling procedures, and whatever they come up with tomorrow, Biden’s DOJ intends to win by indicting his opponents.

The Democrats have given up winning the 2024 presidential campaign at the polls and intend to win it at the hands of their prosecutors and judges.

Instead of winning over the public, they want to prosecute their way to victory.

Is the FBI politicized? C’mon Man!

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Good day Kahny,

I hope today finds you well at your desk, as the Executive Editor at that beacon of truthful reporting, the iconic NY Times. Wow, so much has transpired since we last spoke. I believe last time we spoke was around the 4th of July holiday. I know you’re not to big a fan of that one Kahny, as you are a big supporter of the CCP, as displayed by your publicity shots. You remember those right? You in your stocking feet, reading Pravda on your office floor, with your CCP coffee cup. I’m just curious, has anyone been fired yet for running with that idea…..ouch! I digress, last time we spoke, we were talking about the 1/6 reality show produced by Chardonnay Pelosi and company. Much has happened since then, let’s take a look.

The Mission is to Get Trump!

Personally, I agree with other liberals, as I don’t believe enough time and TAXPAYER money has been spent yet on prosecuting elected President Trump. I think he is getting off the hook rather lightly, wouldn’t you agree, stocking feet? I’m appalled at your tabloid though, because every once in a while there has been a negative article about Joey Bidenflation. We should be concentrating on putting out the usual 8-10 articles attacking President Trump; not attacking the greatest puppet, since Jimmy Carter. Has the radical right infiltrated your own newsroom Kahny! Or, is there a change in the works? We reached out to Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein to inquire about this but he was busy sailing off the coast of his Martha’s Vineyard estate. No wait, it might have been that he was surfing off his Hawaiian Island coastal estate. No, no I think he was just relaxing at his Washington mansion, with Michael (word is he gets his stock tips from Chardonnay and big Paulie Pelosi), hence the multiple mansions.
Anyway, we couldn’t reach the great unifier to see if the shift away from Brandon is in the works.

How Conservatives (and most people) See Things

Now back to President Trump. It appears Conservatives have a different take on things Kahny. It seems the latest attempt to get justice was to have the FBI raid his personal residence in Florida, and their decision to do so is just a little bit suspect. I believe the latest was something about him holding classified nuclear secrets (to work with Putin, of course). Seems reasonable right Kahny? We got him this time!

Propaganda at its Finest

Conservatives point out these facts : two bogus debunked impeachments, wasn’t enough. Nonstop propaganda for 6 years by such stalwarts of journalistic integrity like your tabloid Pravda, WAPO, CNN, MSNBC, ABC NBC, CBS and the like, wasn’t enough. How about the Russian collusion hoax for over 3 years, which led back to Hildabeast Clinton, that wasn’t enough. How about your former hero (and one time potential candidate for Democratic nomination to be president) Michael Avenatti and his client Stormy Daniels. That is the same Michael Avenatti who is currently serving time in prison. The censorship by social media to address Hunter Biden’s (former crack addict/energy expert, who is now a world famous artist) laptop. Claiming said laptop was Russian disinformation, which as we ALL know now was a lie, that wasn’t enough. The AG Billy Barr, sitting on this information, saying “he didn’t want to influence an election.“ Well Billy Boy you definitely did, you and Georgie Soros, Billy Gates, and some 2,000 mules.

Let’s Plan some Anarchy

Let’s look at some other events. How about, “mostly peaceful riots,” in Democratic bastions for a year straight leading up to the 2020 election, to project anarchy. Funny, huh Kahny, no outrage or disharmony since the Liar-in-Chief was installed………simply amazing. Look at all the money Georgie Soros has saved, by not having to recruit protestors, good for him. How about “Dr.” Fraudci and and the well orchestrated plandemic, and mandated “vaccine.” Remember Kahny, there is no autoimmunity, social distancing, masks, the “plandemic of the unvaccinated.” All now debunked. But it sure did facilitate the very trustworthy mail in voting agenda. Even the vegetable occupying the White House has gotten it…..TWICE, and this buffoon had both shots and 2 boosters. I‘m surprised Joey didn’t just take Covid behind the gym and beat the hell out of it. Don’t you just love Joey’s little fairytales Kahny?

Andy Cuomo: A Heart of Gold

Let’s not forget Democratic cities extended shutdowns to cripple the economy and kill small businesses. You know, like Andy “I sexually harass women, because I’m Italian” Cuomo did. This of course was when he wasn’t busy sending seniors to their deaths instead of using a Navy hospital ship—you know, just to spite President Trump. Ah, what’s a few old people dying in order spite Trump, oh I don’t know, some estimate 15,000. But ole Andy said he wouldn’t put his dear sweet Mother Matilda in senior facilities due to the virus, saying this 2 MONTHS before his March 2020 directive barring said places from turning away infected hospital patients from being admitted to these facilities. What a sweet conscientious son little Andy is, brings a tear to my eye. We all know now that these extended shutdowns did nothing, except try and portray a nation in turmoil in an election year.

A Special Shout Out to Pravda (NY Times)

It all seemed like a well thought out coordinated attack. Most Americans believe these are the kinds of coordinated attacks that would come from our enemies……..not from our OWN country. Evidently, a majority of American people have found out they’ve been wrong. Conservatives point out that the media played a major part in where we are today stocking feet Kahn, so I would guess AG Sulzberger (your publisher at Pravda) owes you a big bonus for your objective, unbiased and apolitical (wink, wink) reporting. Such journalistic integrity! Always remember, President Trump is a racist!

The White House does it’s Best Sgt. Shultz: “I Know Nothing”

But, we have a whole new chapter to add to this disgrace of a regime under the installed puppet. We now have brown shirts, I’m sorry the FBI raiding a former Presidents house over a year and a half after he left office. Apparently, the White House knew nothing of this raid. I’m back Kahny, I had to take a break to clean the coffee off my floor, after it came shooting out of my nose, due to laughing. Conservatives want to know, if this installed administration thinks the American people are as mentally addled as the sock puppet Brandon? Just wait until they add those 87,000 ARMED IRS agents.

“Dr.” Jilly Bean Expands her Wardrobe

What was it again classified nuclear secrets? Too, too funny. What are they worried about, General “treason is my game” Milley will give a heads up to China (Joey’s pals) or any other enemies for that matter. Or, was that only in place when elected President Trump was in office and now rescinded under the houseplant installed in the White House. Rumor is they raided Melania’s wardrobe, so they could get “Dr.” Jilly bean some tasteful dresses. She has been getting flak for dressing up in Thanksgiving tablecloths. Word on the street is Target and Kohls are running low ahead of the holidays due to her constant demand.

So, you can see Kahny, why America is a tad suspect about this latest charade….just a tad. Well, we’ll have to see what the brown shirts (sorry, I keep doing that), the FBI plant, I mean find, in these boxes. Early reports are one of the larger boxes contained Jimmy Hoffa, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. I always knew it had to be President Trump, I just knew it. Word is Jeffery Toobin formally of CNN was rushing there to confirm, but was busy right now on a zoom call.

The Possibilities are Endless

This story will have to do until Chardonnay’s kangaroo court starts up again next month. Wow, right before the midterms, incredible timing, huh (wink, wink). This was losing steam anyway Kahny, hence the raid ordered by Mary Garland, and the warrant signed off on by highly reputable (Barry/Barack Hussein supporter/donator) “Judge” Reinhardt. I don’t know what we’ll do if this last coup fails. What can we blame him for next—the Brinks job, Patty Hearst kidnapping, the Manson murders, the Hindenburg, the Titanic? Ya see stocking feet Kahn, the possibilities are endless. Who says the DOJ and the FBI, are being politicized and weaponized……….that is just crazy talk!

Well, Kahny some of these things do seem to be ridiculous accusations…..sort of like your NY Times reporting style. What was that again, “printing all the news fit to print,” the mantra of your tabloid…..you know Kahny, that may be the funniest and most ridiculous statement in this entire letter. Talk to you soon buddy.

Oh, one more tidbit: Brandon says inflation is now 0%. Financial networks and economists still have it at 8.5%. Oh that Joey and his fables, isn’t he precious. Funny no mention of this ridiculous glaring gaffe (lie) in your tabloid………..shocking!

Sincerely,

Chris Cirino

Government Led by Democrats Is Organized, State Sanctioned Crime

Here’s a huge news story the media censored.

ATF special agent resigns, cites lack of criminal accountability in laws.

Colorado Springs ATF special agent resigns, cites lack of criminal accountability in laws

By: Sean Rice KRDO | August 14, 2022 |

A special agent for the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco, Firearms, and Explosives) in Colorado Springs has resigned after 18 years of service. In his resignation letter obtained by 13 Investigates, Brandon Garcia says he cannot support the way criminals are being handled by the current government.

The ATF is a federal law enforcement agency within the Department of Justice. ATF has a field offices in Denver and Colorado Springs.

[ … ]

Garcia, who according to his resignation letter has served in law enforcement for 18 years, has concerns about the over 5,000 ATF agents nationally.

“The last time morale was this low with ATF was probably 2013-2016,” Garcia said. “Over the last couple of years, ATF has been spending a significant amount of time talking about and changing the course of this agency to focus on ‘the gun’. Frankly, I don’t really care about investigating the gun, I care about investigating the criminal, and then plucking that criminal out of society.”

[ … ]

Garcia said he became an ATF agent to make the streets of Colorado safer. He believes people take a career in law enforcement to protect law-abiding citizens.

“For at least the last decade, the government has focused on holding police accountable. I agree, that we do need to be held accountable. But everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions, not just the police. Who is holding the criminal accountable? Who’s holding the politicians accountable,” Garcia questioned.

He says his belief is that law enforcement officers are often questioning their “use of force” in today’s day and age. He worries that people expect words to stop violence. However, he says only violence stops violence when dealing with violent criminals, the resignation letter states.

“Violence is the only language these violent criminals understand. If you have not experienced that type of evil on the streets or while conducting your investigations, you are investigating the wrong people,” Garcia said. “They are out there, and they will kill you without thinking twice.”

The special agent says he agrees with the sentiment that gun crimes are “out of control.” However, the letter states that he believes taking away citizens’ guns will not help. Rather, he says democrat-led states are not holding criminals, who perpetuate gun crimes, accountable.

“Fewer and fewer defendants associated with gun crimes are actually sentenced to prison. Additionally, violent crimes committed with firearms are consistently pled down to non-violent crimes and the defendant again avoids prison,” Garcia said. “If there is no consequence to committing a crime, then why would a criminal stop? If guns were banned, why would the criminals actually agree to abide by the law,” he questioned.

In the letter, Garcia said he worries about the number of violent criminals being released from both state and federal custody.

“This year alone, our office has had more violent federal defendants released following their detention hearing than I have seen in my entire career. That is saying something because I have never had to fight so hard just to get violent offenders prosecuted,” Garcia said. “Especially in the past two years, it seems like jails and prisons can’t let people out fast enough. I wonder why violent crime is up.”

According to the Common Sense Institute, violent crime in Colorado in 2020 was 35% higher than in 2011. Additionally, the average monthly crime rate in 2021 is 28% higher than it was in 2011 and 15% higher than it was only two years ago in 2019 in Colorado.

“The problem is that we don’t hold criminals accountable for their actions anymore. I have spent the majority of my career working violent crimes. I learned a long time ago that you do not combat violent crime by seizing firearms; you combat violent crime by locking up violent criminals for a really long time,” Garcia said. “Not just a really long time on paper, a long time behind actual prison bars; like we used to do it before legislators and members of the judicial system decided to neglect their oath.”

Garcia said he knows ATF agents at the Colorado Springs office are doing all they can to deter violent crime and keep people safe. However, he says nowadays prosecuting criminals comes down to a “roll of the dice.”

“Since I can no longer do this job the way I think it needs to be done and have the appropriate level of success, then it is time for me to fight this fight from a different angle,” Garcia said in the letter.

Germany To Lose $265 billion By 2030 Due To Green Energy Hoax

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The Green Movement is a total assault on capitalism, freedom, and our entire way of life by the Far Left global elites. It’s implementation will cause significant economic decline in countries throughout the world. Furthermore, if this movement is not stopped, you can expect massive instability in your cities and your towns, and your communities in the years ahead.

Germany faces possible $265 billion loss in added value as a byproduct of war and high energy prices

By Fox News, Aug 10, 2022

Germany’s economy will lose more than 260 billion euros ($265 billion) in added value by 2030 due to the Ukraine war and high energy prices, spelling negative effects for the labor market, according to a study by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB).

In comparison with expectations for a peaceful Europe, Germany’s price-adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) will be 1.7% lower next year and there will be about 240,000 fewer people in employment, said the study published on Tuesday.

Thousands upon thousands of illegal migrants are flooding across the U.S.’s wide open southern border with Mexico every day. Among them are hundreds of kids, including very young children, many of them unaccompanied by any adult. Their parents have handed them over to the cartel coyotes to be moved north across the U.S.-Mexico border, in a bid to establish a kind of “anchor” inside the U.S., from which they themselves hope one day to benefit.

Sen. Ted Cruz was recently again on that border, talking about the “narco slave trade” that traps so many of these children into gangs and sex slavery. We need to understand that every single illegal migrant moved northward and across that border by the Mexican cartels is charged thousands of dollars – which, of course, poor migrants do not have.

So, the older boys often wind up coerced into working for gangs like MS-13 or the cartels themselves. These gangs and cartels make literally billions of dollars from trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamines, and other drugs (much of it sourced to Communist China) in virtually every city, town, and community in the Lower 48 states of America.

The girls and younger boys face an even more horrific fate: to pay off their debts to the cartels, they are sold into sex slavery. In America. Little captive kids – boys and girls – as young as 5, 6, or 7 years old are sold up to 20 times per day – or even more – to be savagely raped over and over and over again. The rapes are often videotaped, to be sold over the Internet as online pornography, to make even more profit for the gangs and cartels.

This is a massive invasion, unchecked by the Department of Homeland Security, whose Director Alejandro Mayorkas falsely insists that the border is “secure”. That invasion is spreading illegal aliens, criminals, terrorists, and deadly drugs across America – with their transportation and abundant benefits paid for by us, the American taxpayers. But the sex trafficking of little children has to be the most awful and heartbreaking outcome of all of it.

The Biden administration, by refusing to secure that border, is knowingly and deliberately complicit in that depraved criminality. It must be stopped.

“Ted Cruz claims ‘narco slave trade’ at southern border in graphic video” – New York Post, August 6, 2022, By Callie Patterson

Sen. Ted Cruz claimed to have evidence of a “narco slave trade” taking place at the southern border in a graphic video he posted Monday night, alleging that thousands of migrant children are working in gangs or being trafficked into sex slavery across the US.

“These children come in, in debt to vicious cartels, thousands and thousands of dollars,” Cruz (R-Texas) is heard saying as the video features various clips of migrants — children and adults — after crossing the border.

“The teenage boys work for the gangs in every city in America, and the teenage girls experience a hell worse than that, with far too many of them human-trafficked into sex slavery,” the Texas Republican said.

He went on to accuse President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — whom Biden tapped to handle the border crisis — of being responsible for “the worst plague of slavery in America since the Civil War.”

“This is not compassionate. This is not humane. This is barbaric,” Cruz continued, as the 68-second video featured photos of migrants who appeared to have died during the perilous journey to the US.

“President Biden doesn’t want Americans to know that he has been ignoring the narco slave trade taking place along our southern border,” Cruz wrote in a tweet sharing the video.

It was not immediately clear what Cruz’s sourcing was behind these claims or when and where the footage was taken.

Cruz’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Border officials have stopped hundreds of migrants as part of human smuggling operations along the southern border in recent months, though the government has yet to release data from FY 2022 on how many foreign national children and foreign national adults were identified as sex-trafficking or labor-trafficking victims.

In FY 2021, however, the Department of Health and Human Services issued 527 certification letters to foreign national adult victims of severe forms of trafficking, up from 508 in FY 2020, according to the State Department’s 2022 Trafficking In Persons Report released this month.

Of that amount, 14% of the foreign national adult victims were identified as sex-trafficking victims, 68% were labor-trafficking victims, 16% were victims of both trafficking forms, and 2% were victims of an unknown severe form of trafficking.19

Meanwhile, the number of eligibility letters given to foreign national children known or suspected to be a victim of a severe form of trafficking was 1,200 — a massive jump from 673 the previous year. Out of 1,142 foreign children identified, 25% were sex-trafficking victims, 68% were labor-trafficking victims, 6% were victims of both trafficking forms, while 1% were victims of a severe form of trafficking unknown to the department.

Since the start of the Biden administration, thousands of migrants stranded in Mexico seeking asylum, as well as those returned to the country under the “Remain in Mexico” policy, have been subject to kidnappings or related abuses.

As of mid-March of this year, the Human Rights First Tracker reported that 9,886 migrants and asylum seekers had been subject to such attacks.

In 2003, the State Department estimated that approximately 18,000 to 20,000 people were trafficked into the US each year. Given this year’s total of border encounters (over 2 million in FY 22 so far) is a massive increase from 2003 (a total of 931,557), that number is likely much higher.

Within the US, thousands of sex- and labor-trafficking victims are identified every year.

A 2020 analysis done by Polaris reported 16,658 victims nationwide — 10,836 of whom were sex-trafficking victims. Another 3,583 were labor-trafficking victims while 631 were victims of both forms of trafficking. Approximately 1,634 were victims of other and unknown forms of trafficking.

Reports over the years have estimated that the majority of trafficking victims in the US are immigrants.

Cruz’s claim of the “narco slave trade” is only the latest attack against the Biden administration for the ongoing border crisis as immigrants have continued to cross the border in record numbers.

June — which recorded 207,416 migrant encounters — was the fourth month in a row that has had more than 200,000 migrant stops along the southern border alone.

Biden Personally Demanded Twitter Ban Journalist

/in , , , , , , /by

A merger of state and corporate power to silence and crush political dissent.

The White House privately demanded Twitter ban me months before the company did so

By Alex Berenson, August 13, 2022:

Biden Administration officials asked Twitter to ban me because of my tweets questioning the Covid vaccines, even as company employees believed I had followed Twitter’s rules, internal Twitter communications reveal.

In a White House meeting in April 2021, four months before Twitter suspended my account, the company faced “one really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn’t been kicked off from the platform,” a Twitter employee wrote.

The employee recounted the meeting discussion afterwards on Twitter’s internal Slack messaging system. The message, and others, make clear that top federal officials targeted me specifically, potentially violating my basic First Amendment right to free speech.

The First Amendment does not apply to private companies like Twitter. But if the companies are acting on behalf of the federal government they can become “state actors” that must allow free speech and debate, just as the government does.

Previous efforts to file state action lawsuits against the government and social media companies for working together to ban users have failed. Courts have universally held that people who have been banned have not shown the specific demands from government officials that are necessary to support state action claims.

From Twitter’s internal Slack channel — Image 1, Image 2

At the time, employees said internally they did not believe I had broken the company’s rules. “I’ve taken a pretty close look at his account and I don’t think any of it’s violative,” an employee wrote on the Slack conversation a few minutes after the “really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn’t been kicked off.”

But the pressure on Twitter to take action against me and other mRNA vaccine skeptics steadily increased after that April meeting, and especially in July and August, as the government began to consider the unprecedented step of mandating Covid vaccines for adults.

On July 16, 2021, President Biden complained publicly that social media companies were “killing people” by encouraging vaccine hesitancy. A few hours after Biden’s comment, Twitter suspended my account for the first time.

On August 28, 2021, barely four months after the meeting, Twitter banned me – for a tweet that it has now acknowledged “should not have led to my suspension.”

I obtained the message and other documents related to Twitter’s censorship of me as part of my lawsuit against Twitter over my August 2021 ban. I filed the suit in federal court in San Francisco in December 2021. Twitter and I settled it last month, when Twitter restored my account and acknowledged it had erred in banning me.

The documents contain other revelations, including emails showing that other reporters asked Twitter to take action against me; I will report on those in the future.

More messages, emails, and internal documents are expected.

JK Rowling Gets Islamic DEATH THREAT Warning Her ‘You Are Next’ After Rushdie Is Stabbed and Mutilated

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

And still the media and the information police censors, protects the motive – Islam.

The would-be killer posts to Twitter while I am banned.

They’ve won.

JK Rowling gets a death threat from Iran-supporting Islamist extremist telling her ‘you are next’ after she backed stabbed author Salman Rushdie – while his attacker is charged with attempted murder in US

  • British author JK Rowling has received a death threat from an Islamist based in Pakistan
  • Harry Potter writer said on Twitter: ‘Horrifying news. Feeling very sick right now. Let him be ok’
  • She received the chilling reply from Pakistani extremist: ‘Don’t worry you are next’
  • Rowling, 57, has been pilloried in public ever since she objected to the term ‘people who menstruate’
  • Sir Salman, 75, is on a ventilator after he was stabbed multiple times by ‘Iran sympathiser’

By Jack Wright For Mailonline, 13 August 2022:

British author JK Rowling has received a vile death threat from an Iran-backing Islamist extremist who appears to have praised Salman Rushdie’s attacker, repeatedly expressed support for Tehran’s theocratic dictator, and branded Israel, Ukraine and India ‘terrorist states’.

The Harry Potter writer and free speech campaigner – who has been pilloried by trans activists for her beliefs on gender – had expressed her horror at the sickening attempt on Rushdie’s life in upstate New York when she was issued the chilling threat on Twitter.

Meer Asif Aziz, who describes himself on Twitter as a ‘student, social activist, political activist and research activist’ based in Karachi, has made tasteless ‘jokes’ about how to destroy Israel and branded it and Putin-savaged Ukraine – as well as Pakistan’s chief geopolitical rival India – ‘terrorist states’.

Aziz also appears to support the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who frequently rants about Israel in deranged, genocidal tweets. In one of Khamenei’s posts about the ‘oppressive Yazidis’, for instance, Aziz responded with a heart emoji.

And responding to another tweet from the Iranian dictator, Aziz gushed : ‘Dear leader your struggle for Islamic world will not be wasted until we young generation are with you’.

Rowling, 57, had posted last night about Rushdie’s stabbing: ‘Horrifying news. Feeling very sick right now. Let him be ok’.

Aziz, who had described Rushdie’s attacker Hadi Matar, 24, as a ‘revolutionary Shia fighter’, then threatened: ‘Don’t worry you are next’.

In a bid to get Aziz booted off Twitter, Rowling this afternoon posted: ‘@TwitterSupport any chance of some support?’. Critics have accused the social media giant of ‘double standards’ over which accounts it chooses to kick off the site. Twitter dramatically chose to shut down Donald Trump’s account after the invasion of the US Capitol by a mob wearing MAGA caps following the 2020 election – dubbed January 6 – but still allows Khamenei to make threats against Israel.

Rowling also confirmed that police are involved, telling her followers: ‘To all sending supportive messages: thank you. Police are involved (were already involved on other threats).’

MailOnline has contacted Twitter for comment.

Rowling and horror writer Stephen King are among the authors and notable faces voicing their disbelief after Rushdie, 75, was stabbed up to 15 times – including once in the neck – in upstate New York at a lecture about free speech.

The Indian-born British author, whose writing led to unprecedented death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was to deliver a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution when the incident occurred, leaving him with an apparent stab wound to the neck.

It comes as:

US law enforcement charged Rushdie’s attacker with attempted murder in the second degree. He has been transported to Chautauqua County Jail and will be arraigned later today. American officials have said that initial enquiries suggested the suspected knifeman was sympathetic to the Iranian regime;

Rushdie’s agent said that the author would likely lose one eye and has suffered damage to nerves in one of his arms and his liver;
Iranian state media gleefully praised Sir Salman’s attacker and branded the author an ‘apostate’ and ‘heretic-writer’;
Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron led condemnation of the attack, with the French President branding it an assault on liberty and saying: ‘His fight is our fight’.

Former National Intelligence Director: Trump Has ‘Ultimate Declassification Authority’

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Boom.

One commenter railed, ‘It’s all good because Hillary, a career politician, an attorney, former First Lady, the former Secretary of State was deemed innocent because she did not “know the law” and was never raided, subpoenaed or otherwise held accountable for actually destroying documents but Trump a business man who won the presidency as a first time politician is somehow guilty of espionage for keeping the documents safely quartered and locked up. Maybe this is political in our newly formed Banana Republic?”

FORMER NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE DIRECTOR: TRUMP HAS ‘ULTIMATE DECLASSIFICATION AUTHORITY’

By: Zachary Stieber, The Epoch Times, August 13, 2022:

A former director of national intelligence said Aug. 12 that it is “virtually impossible” to prosecute people for mishandling classified documents, and asserted that former President Donald Trump has the “ultimately declassification authority” in terms of such documents.

“The president does have ultimate declassification authority. He can literally declassify—and President Trump had that authority, and could declassify anything you want while he was president,” John Ratcliffe, a Republican congressman before Trump appointed him to be director of national intelligence, said on Fox News.

An inventory showed that agents seized what they listed as classified, secret, and top secret documents.

Ratcliffe said on Fox that before the search warrant materials were made public, he didn’t believe the raid was about classified materials.

“It has to be more than that because the Department of Justice and the FBI have already set a standard that makes it virtually impossible to prosecute a case like that,” he said, pointing to how former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s possession of classified documents was handled by the FBI, including then-Director James Comey.

“As people talk about Espionage Act and classified documents and all of that, the standard was set in 2016. Remember the Department of Justice and the FBI took the official position that Hillary Clinton, who was in possession of classified documents … that [being] in possession of that, that wasn’t enough, and that being grossly negligent and being careless, Jim Comey told us, that’s not enough under the Espionage Act. You have to know you’re violating the law,” Ratcliffe said.

“Even if you assume the worst case scenario for President Trump, that there were classified documents in his possession at Mar-a-Lago, that only puts him where Hillary Clinton was. And what the FBI and the Department of Justice would have to show is that he knew the documents were there and he didn’t think they were declassified,” he added.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that all the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago were declassified.

Media Tries to Report on Salman Rushdie Stabbing Without Mentioning ‘Islam’

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Author Salman Rushdie, who was forced to spend a chunk of his life in hiding because his book, The Satanic Verses, offended Islamic religious authorities in Iran who imposed a murder fatwa on him, was stabbed in the neck and had to be airlifted to a hospital when he was attacked on stage.

 Author Salman Rushdie, being stabbed at an event in New York State on Friday, suffered “10 to 15” blows in the attack, eyewitnesses said. One of them said she thought it was “a stunt” at first.

“This guy ran on to platform and started pounding on Mr Rushdie,” said Rabbi Charles Savenor, who was in the audience for the lecture at Chautauqua Institution, about 100 km from the city.

A reporter from AP said the attacker “punched or stabbed Mr Rushdie 10 to 15 times”.

“At first you’re like, ‘What’s going on?’ And then it became abundantly clear in a few seconds that he was being beaten,” Mr Savenor told the news agency. He said the attack lasted about 20 seconds.

The media, at least in this country, has wrapped itself in knots to avoid using the “I” word.

Back when Rushdie wrote The Satanic Verses, it was controversial. Today, any kind of criticism of Mohammed is considered hate speech and censored to such a degree that the media would not even report what an Indian elected official said about Mohammed’s pedophilic tendencies, only to denounce it as hurtful and hateful to Muslims.

Today, a new author could never publish something like that. And the media is uncomfortable even discussing what it is that Rushdie wrote.

The various condemnations likewise don’t mention Islam, Islamic terrorism or any beyond generic concepts like “freedom of expression.”

Long before this attack, the sharia censorship that Iran wanted to impose on Americans had already been achieved.

NUCLEAR HOAX: President Trump denies possession of nuclear documents, suggests FBI planted Washington Post story

Add another hoax, lies, smear et al to the rogue regime’s litany of political persecution of one of America’s greatest president.

Trump denies possession of nuclear documents, suggests FBI planted Washington Post story

In a Friday morning Truth Social post, Trump denied reports that there was any classified information pertaining to nuclear weapons at Mar-a-Lago.

By: Just The News, August 12, 2022:

Former President Donald Trump on Friday pointedly denied still possessing classified documents about nuclear weapons after a Washington Post article suggested that was what FBI agents were searching for in his home. He compared the article to leaks during the 2016 election of the now-discredited Steele dossier.

Trump wrote on his social media app Truth Social, “Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax, two Impeachments were a Hoax, the Mueller investigation was a Hoax, and much more.”

“Same sleazy people involved,” he added, referring to some of the top appointees at the DOJ and FBI. “Why wouldn’t the FBI allow the inspection of areas at Mar-a-Lago with our lawyer’s [sic], or others present. Made them wait outside in the heat, wouldn’t let them get even close — said ‘ABSOLUTELY NOT.’”

Trump further suggested that information may have been leaked to the media in order to portray him in a negative light following the raid.

“Planting information anyone? Reminds me of a Christofer [sic] Steele Dossier!” wrote Trump, referring to the debunked opposition research report that alleged collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government.

On Thursday evening, the Washington Post reported that the FBI descended on Mar-a-Lago and rifled through the Trump’s private home for hours to find documents potentially pertaining to nuclear weapons. Sources did not tell the Post “what type of information the agents were seeking,” nor if any documents were recovered.

Also on Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered a short statement, in which he confirmed that he had personally approved the search warrant of the Trump property and is currently working to unseal the warrant.

DOJ Unseals Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant

The warrant that authorized the search of former President Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago was released today following our court filing seeking release of all FBI warrant materials.

We’re pleased that our legal pressure forced the partial release of warrant materials about the Biden administration’s political raid on the home of former President Trump. We expect and demand the underlying warrant affidavit and other materials be immediately disclosed.

On August 9, we filed a motion asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to unseal as soon as possible the search warrant materials used by the FBI to raid the Florida home (U.S. v. Sealed Search Warrant (No. 9:22-mj-08332)).

The Justice Department agreed that the warrant should be released in its filing:

The government hereby requests that the Court unseal the Notice of Filing and its attachment (Docket Entry 17), absent objection by former President Trump. The attachment to that Notice consists of:

  • The search warrant signed and approved by the Court on August 5, 2022, including Attachments A and B; and
  • The redacted Property Receipt listing items seized pursuant to the search, filed with the Court on August 11, 2022

The press and the public enjoy a qualified right of access to criminal and judicial proceedings and the judicial records filed therein.

Our legal pressure forced an important first step by the Biden Justice Department to disclose Attorney General Garland’s role in the abusive Trump raid.

Initially, the Albany Times Union and the New York Times joined us in filing for the unsealing of the warrant by filing an amicus letter and motion respectively. Other interests later joined in the effort.

Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart had ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to file a response to Judicial Watch’s Motion to Unseal the warrant and supporting materials behind the FBI raid of President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago by 5p.m. on August 15, 2022.

Due to multiple organizations filing to unseal the warrant, Judge Reinhart ordered that, “To avoid the need for individualized orders on any future motion(s) to unseal, it is ORDERED that the Government shall file an omnibus response to all motions to unseal …”

Yesterday, President Trump issued a public statement “ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents.”

Our August 9 motion stated:

Judicial Watch is investigating the potential politicization of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice and whether the FBI and the Justice Department are abusing their law enforcement powers to harass a likely future political opponent of President Biden.

[ … ]

The public has an urgent and substantial interest in understanding the predicate for the execution of the unprecedented search warrant of the private residence of a former president and likely future political opponent…. [N]o official explanation or information has been released about the search. As of the filing of this motion, the public record consists solely of speculation and inuendo. In short, the historical presumption of access to warrant materials vastly outweighs any interest the government may have in keeping the materials under seal.

[ … ]

Given the political context, and the highly unusual action of executing a search warrant at the residence of a former President and likely future political opponent, it is essential that the public understands as soon as possible the basis for the government’s action. Any government interest in securing the identities of witnesses and confidential sources, if any, may be addressed by appropriate redactions from the search warrant affidavit.

The U.S. Constitution and federal law give unreviewable authority to President Trump to take whatever records he wishes at the end of his presidency. The Biden administration’s dishonest depiction of personal records of President Trump it illicitly seized during the raid as “classified” is further demonstration that the raid was a brazen act of raw political abuse.

COVID Quacks and Liars

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The CDC dropped its recommendations for social distancing and quarantining, citing the fact most Americans have acquired some form of immunity to COVID-19.  The CDC might actually have gotten something right for once, but even a stuck clock is right twice a day.  Otherwise, it’s been pure quackery and lies from our public health authorities since the pandemic began.

Presidential advisor Dr. Birx admitted in her book to making things up and to lying to President Trump and to the public about COVID recommendations.  ‘Two weeks to stop the spread’ was completely made up, not based on science, and she immediately set out to see how lockdowns could be extended.  Social distancing was made up, too, as she had originally wanted 10 feet.  She also admitted she knew the vaccines would not protect against COVID infection.  They overplayed the vaccines, she said.  Now they tell us, after 30,000 people may have been killed by the vaccines.

It’s not just Birx. The CDC was caught cooking the books, overstating the COVID mortality rate among children in order to push childhood vaccination.  Moreover, when the CDC was asked to substantiate its claim COVID vaccines don’t cause variants to develop, it couldn’t do so.  Small wonder.  In country after country, new COVID variants appeared after mass vaccination began.

These quacks and liars were wrong about everything, but they possess the soul of a tyrant.  Last month, L.A. public health authorities were talking up COVID mandates again acting like it was a crisis, even though doctors there said: “Only 10% of our COVID positive admissions are admitted due to COVID. Virtually none of them go to the ICU, and when they do go to the ICU it is not for pneumonia. They are not intubated… we have not seen one of those since February.”  Some crisis.

They were wrong about masks.  A recent study found masks are germ factories, some dangerous like staph.  It also found the longer masks are worn, the greater the problems with bacteria and fungus become.

They were wrong about natural immunity.  Another recent study found immunity from vaccines wears off quickly and natural immunity is better.

They were wrong about vaccine efficacy.  Research from Harvard and Yale shows people who were not boosted did better than people who were.  In Canada, four out of five people who died from COVID since February were vaccinated.  Seventy percent of those were triple-vaccinated.

They were wrong about lockdowns.  The lockdowns prevented children from building up immunity to common childhood infections.  School closures had devastating impacts on education and did not reduce COVID infection rates. [more here at p. 20]

Our public health authorities are quacks and liars – case closed.  And they want our trust?  I’ve said many times, you are better off doing your own research and making your own decisions.  But here’s what gets me:  After all this insanity, there are still people out there who want more government.  For the life of me, I can’t understand why.
