The pot is calling the kettle, black
By Ted Belman (Feb 26/22)


After the fall of the USSR, the US invaded Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq , and Libya. She overthrew Mubarak, the long standing ruler of Egypt and installed its own regime and attempted to do the same with Syria. She expanded NATO eastward after promising not to do so.. She handcuffed Israel, thereby violating its sovereignty, and demanded she cease settlement construction and back the two state solution.

She subverted democracy in its own country beginning with the Obama presidency, continuing through the Trump years and now in the Biden/Obama term. Obama pledged to transform America and he did, for the worse.

He did this by subverting the constitution, corrupting the deep state, in particular, the FBI, DOJ, DOD, CIA, Judiciary and IRS to name most of them. Obama and his coterie did their utmost to prevent Trump from getting elected in 2016. They failed.

Rather than accept the results, they began a campaign to undermine Trump’s presidency with the use of lies, defamation, illegal prosecutions and hoaxes. They were aided and abetted in this by the Main Stream Media, Social Media Giants, Hollywood, cancel culture and a fake pandemic.

They also created their own brown shirts and black shirts, namely Antifa and Black Lives Matter, like Hitler and Mussolini did, in order to have a lawless para-military force to wreak havoc, fear and despair. They chose not to prosecute members of these organizations who committed crimes and destruction. On the other hand, they attacked MAGA supporters as being insurrectionists and terrorists.

Then the ultimate corruption was their destruction of the election system, with the introduction of fake ballots and fake ballot counting, the use of manipulative machines and Zukerberg money. I even believe they killed Seth Rich and perhaps others, to further their ends.

Finally, Ukraine is rated as the most corrupt country in Europe. Clinton and Biden took advantage of that corruption to add to their coffers.

And we are supposed to believe that Russia is the bad guy. I don’t thinks so.

Georgia Officials Probing ‘Financial Irregularities’ Linked to Stacey Abrams’ Charity

OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

The Georgia Secretary of State’s office has launched an investigation into a charity linked to two-time failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams following a bombshell report last month alleging improprieties surrounding finances.

The Washington Free Beacon was first to report on the allegations and on Monday, followed up the initial report to note that Georgia election officials are now conducting an investigation.

“Georgia’s secretary of state has opened an investigation into ‘financial irregularities’ surrounding the New Georgia Project, a voting-rights charity founded by Stacey Abrams, individuals familiar with the matter,” told the outlet, according to the Monday report.

The outlet noted that the New Georgia Project is facing investigations into alleged financial mismanagement by former executives, following reports by the Free Beacon. The organization’s latest tax filings have also raised legal and accounting questions, prompting authorities to issue subpoenas to affiliated parties.

After being founded by Abrams in 2013, the New Georgia Project became one of the leading voter registration groups in the country. Between the New Georgia Project and its affiliated New Georgia Project Action Fund, they have raised a combined total of $54.7 million since 2020.

The Free Beacon uncovered several inconsistencies in the financial disclosures of the New Georgia Project, the outlet noted. The discrepancies include a payment of half a million dollars for consulting services to a charity that is partly run by the brother of Nsé Ufot, the former CEO of the New Georgia Project who was terminated for undisclosed reasons.

Furthermore, the New Georgia Project claimed that it did not pay any payroll taxes in 2020, which is highly unlikely without engaging in extensive criminal activities. The Georgia attorney general’s spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.

A long-running case by the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission has alleged that the voter registration group worked illegally to elect Abrams during her unsuccessful 2018 gubernatorial bid. Georgia’s Secretary of State initiated an investigation into the charity in light of this separate case, the Free Beacon reported, adding:

Abrams, who lost her second gubernatorial bid by 7.5 points in November, said in January that she will “likely run again.” Abrams raised more than $100 million during her last campaign, largely from liberal donors outside of Georgia. Despite that exorbitant sum, Abrams’s campaign owes more than $1 million to vendors, according to a report from Axios.

Earlier, the outlet reported that the New Georgia Project submitted its 2021 Form 990 financial disclosure in January to the IRS, two months after the due date, and three months after Nse Ufot, the CEO hand-picked by Abrams, was fired by the charity’s board chairman.

The financial disclosure revealed a $533,846 consulting payment and a $67,500 grant to the Black Male Initiative, an obscure charity partially run by Ufot’s brother, Edima, who was a former employee of the New Georgia Project. However, the Black Male Initiative has denied receiving any consulting payment and provided the outlet with its IRS financial disclosures, showing no income from consulting and only $255,000 in contributions from all sources in 2021.

The missing money has raised ethical concerns, adding to the challenges facing the troubled charity. Earlier in November, the Free Beacon reported that the New Georgia Project was in turmoil as former senior staff accused the leadership of engaging in widespread financial misconduct. Furthermore, Georgia’s state ethics commission has alleged that the group unlawfully worked to elect Abrams during her unsuccessful 2018 gubernatorial campaign against current Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican.

“This is something that the Internal Revenue Service should be interested in, particularly with the added element of the former officer possibly pocketing the money,” Alan Dye, a nonprofit attorney, told the outlet.

“Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark,” he said, noting further that it’s a crime to file a false statement knowingly with the federal government, per the Free Beacon.

“Those responsible are without remorse, so there must be a reckoning. Barring that reckoning, we promise you they will make us remorseful later for not holding them accountable now.” ~“Rise of the Fourth Reich: Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial, So This Never Happens Again” Do we have to wait for two years’ worth of death and injury reports from the incoming RSV shots before we begin warning against them? Or have we learned anything from Pfizer and Moderna’s fraudulent trials on COVID?

Last week, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met to discuss the future framework of a numberof vaccines. Of course, all of them were deemed safe enough to continue, although a number of shocking nuggets of data were revealed with the understanding that the public will never discover this information. According to FDA briefing documents, two people in the Pfizer RSV trial for those over 60 years old experienced the dangerous form of neuropathy known as Guillain-Barré syndrome. The rate was 1 in 9,000, which is bad enough, but we’ve seen from COVID that GBS is a fairly common reaction, and Bell’s palsy, a similar form of neuropathy, has racked up 16,755 entries
in VAERS.

This is particularly concerning because in the Phase 1/2 trial for Pfizer’s RSV shot, among a younger cohort of 18- to 49- year-olds, the trial reports one death among the 164 participants in the group getting 120 micrograms (the dose now recommended for seniors). “One participant in the 120-μg RSVpre F group died within 12 months post vaccination 1 due to toxicity to various agents (quetiapine and amlodipine) that was considered not vaccine-related,” reports Pfizer. After everything we experienced with the fraud from the COVID trials, are we really to trust that a disclosed death due to toxicity was somehow confirmed not to be related to the vaccine?

GlaxoSmithKline already had to pause its RSV trial for pregnant women due to safety concerns. According to PharmaIntelligence, one death occurred in the trial, attributed to acute disseminated encephalomyelitis 22 days after vaccination, “considered by both the study investigator and FDA to potentially be related to the vaccine.” Meanwhile, GSK’s shot for elderly people appears to be right on track, even though, as Dr. Meyrl Nass reports, ACIP participants raised questions about the fact that this shot “can overstimulate the immune system, which is why it is only used for the elderly or immunocompromised.” How in the world can anything that “overstimulates” the immune system be approved for anyone of any age after everything we’ve seen with COVID and all of the problems with neuropathies and autoimmune disorders stemming from this overstimulation?

Yet despite all these concerns, and despite just having experienced a tsunami of adverse events from rushed COVID shots, the FDA and CDC are continuing to step on the gas pedal of the “vax at all costs” cultish vehicle to make Josef Mengele great again. On Tuesday, the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted 7-4 to approve the Pfizer senior shot. Even if you trust the top-line data, the FDA has no specific data on how long protection lasts, how effective the shot is in the immunocompromised, or how it interacts with other common vaccines like the flu shot — or the COVID shots!

Interference with the flu shot was a particular concern to panel chair Hana El Sahly, a microbiology professor at Baylor College of Medicine. “I was left with the idea that there is interference,” she said. “And whether we like it or not, this vaccine is going to be given in the fall around the time of administration of influenza.”
Dr. Marie Griffin of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, another member of the committee who opposed the recommendation, raised concerns that all of the efficacy data was among healthy patients. This shot is likely going to be strongly pushed, if not mandated, on nursing home patients. Are we back to “test on the population first, worry about effects ... never”? Let’s not forget that Fauci recently conceded that RSV shots do not stop the virus and are really not ready for prime time. And as for clinical outcomes, how many healthy 65-year-olds die from RSV to begin with that it’s even possible to measure efficacy (claim to be 85%) on death and critical illness? 

“These were very stable patients, very — selected to be healthy, that produce good immune response but were really not the ones that have the efficacy endpoints that are so necessary for decision making,” observed Dr. Steven Pergam, another member who opposed the recommendation.
It was self-evident throughout Tuesday’s hearing that even those who voted for it remained skeptical, but the precautionary principle of new therapeutics has been thrown out the window. They essentially all agreed we don’t have enough data, there are some red flags, but we’re so excited about the prospect of an RSV vaccine that we will rely on“post-marketing” surveillance programs!

“I felt that I could vote yes at this point, with a heavy lean towards the real requirements of that post-marketsurveillance study,” said Dr. Adam Berger, a member of the committee who works at the NIH. Dr. Daniel Feikin said that post-marketing safety surveillance will be “critical,” but voted anyway that the shot was both safe and effective. They are turning the Nuremberg Code on its head! They are determining a vaccine is safe not only without the data but even after the manufacturer’s own unreliable data already shows problems with a genre of vaccine that has never proven safe for over a half-century!

Moreover, it’s as if the COVID shots never happened. To this day, Pfizer has not completed a post-marketing trial on subclinical myocarditis. To this day, officials concede they do not have data on pregnant women, even though the shot is mandated on pregnant women in health care settings and recommended by nearly every gynecologist, despite glaring and blaring safety signals on reproductive health.

At the same time, they rely on post-marketing pharmacovigilance as part of the “jab first, study later” new normal, they continue to ignore VAERS and V-SAFE from the CDC that show a catastrophic level of death and injury. It is shocking how this is happening again in front of our eyes and there is no clamor from Congress to stop this.

It’s quite evident at this point that the only way to stop this dangerous experimentation is to expose the makers to all forms of liability. If Congress refuses to change the laws, it’s incumbent upon the states to bar their respective health departments from promoting or recommending a shot that is exempt from liability. And most certainly, mandates must be outlawed across the board in all settings. Additionally, all states should follow in the footsteps of Florida Governor DeSantis and create their own panel of public health experts to contest the recommendations of the CDC/FDA andpotentially have their respective departments of health recommend against the shots.

It’s hard to blame the American people for trusting the FDA two years ago during the peak of the pandemic to approve a new shot. Now we know better, as officials continue to engage in dangerous human experimentation before our very eyes. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

The Woke Wrecking Machine
By Victor Davis Hanson


Almost everything that has followed from the woke mass hysteria gripping the nation since 2020 has proved disastrous.

Wokeism destroys meritocracy in favor of forced equality of result - history's prescription for civilizational decline.

If we continue with the woke hiring of administrators, air traffic controllers, ground crews, pilots, and rail workers, there will be even more news of disasters and near-miss airline crashes.

Wokeness demands a McCarthyite suppression of free expression. No wonder a woke FBI recently hired out social media censors to suppress stories it deemed unhelpful.

Soviet-style, wokeism mandates strict ideological party-line narratives under the cover of "science." No wonder a woke government lied that requiring vaccines would prevent both infection and infectiousness.

Woke substitutes race for class in its eternal neo-Marxist quest to divide permanently the nation along racial lines, between victims and victimizers.

Yet wokeism recently has embarrassed itself as never before.

Take the COVID pandemic.

The Department of Energy has joined the FBI and is now attributing the origins of the pandemic to a leak of a likely engineered virus from the top-security virology lab in Wuhan, China.

Wokesters had long suppressed that reality, demonizing any who rejected its orthodox lies and spoke a larger truth: A dystopic China is not our global partner in greening the planet. Criticizing Stalinist China is not "racist." China is not building a progressive society that is a model for others.

The ongoing environmental catastrophe in East Palestine, Ohio, following the train derailment revealed more woke moral bankruptcy.

Ostensibly the ensuing toxic spill and noxious plume have poisoned a poor and working-class small town. It should have galvanized the old Democratic Party that once voiced loud support for all green causes and championed the lower American classes.

But woke ended all that - substituting racial chauvinism for class concerns and ideology for genuine worry over the environment.

Woke dogma mandates that pollution and poverty are no longer concerns - if they affect the white poor who are stereotyped collectively as privileged victimizers.

Wokesters insisted that California is the greatest casualty of "climate change" defined as permanent drought.

Purported climate change required radical new bureaucratic rules and antidemocratic mandates over irrigation supplies, ground water, and contracted water deliveries from public reservoirs.

But then it rained. And it snowed. And it became terribly cold in supposedly scorching California. Southern California is blanketed in snow.

Even so, for much of this cold, wet winter, state officials continued to claim the man-made drought was in full force. But finally, the most recent frigid, wet weather strangled the woke drought - and with it the credibility of our climate change Cassandras.

Americans sympathize with Ukraine's plight as Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to destroy its autonomy. But woke brooked no deviation from the party line that Ukraine's Volodomyr Zelenskyy is a saint, while Russia is near bankrupt due to sanctions, and doomed to lose the war.

Accordingly, the United States was obligated to give Ukraine a veritable blank check given Kyiv's commitment to freedom. Zelenskyy's team now even talks of a victorious Ukrainian armored counteroffensive into Moscow's Red Square.

This week, however, we are learning the Russian economy is nearly as strong now as it was before the war. It has mobilized 700,000 troops to ensure that eastern Ukraine becomes a Verdun-like killing field where tens of thousands more will be ground up.

Ukraine bars dissidents and maintains a government media monopoly. And the more President Joe Biden promises another $2-3 billion in biweekly aid, the more Zelenskyy acts as if it is a pittance given what supposedly stingy Americans should be capable of supplying.

Meanwhile, at home, new woke protocols mandate race as essential rather than incidental to the human experience. Supposedly such fixations will heal racial wounds.

Under the new reparatory and compensatory diversity, equity, and inclusion rules, those deemed non-white were to be hired and admitted to colleges in greater numbers than their demographics. Even the old mandated proportional representation quotas were no longer enough.

But racial chauvinism, nonstop talk of reparations, and the new campus segregation have not resulted in better racial relations.

Polls show that there are greater racial tensions than ever before.

Data on interracial and hate crimes show even sharper racial disproportionalities. The incidence of both Black violent criminal perpetrators and Black crime victims are near historical highs.

Woke policies of no cash bail, downgrading felonies, and no jail time only spiked violent lawlessness.

Our elite universities are now fully woke. Almost weekly an embarrassing story further erodes their credibility and reputation.

Ridiculous lists of  taboo words are issued on woke campuses, barring incendiary words like "American" and "immigrant."

Bragging of segregated dorms, graduations, and safe spaces recalls Jim Crow, not woke racial utopias.

Grades and standards are deemed counterrevolutionary, even as incompetent graduates increasingly fail to impress employers.

Someday wokeism will disappear because it is inherently nihilistic and cannibalistic.

But in the meantime, Americans should end it now before it ends America first.

Prager: 

If They Can Scare You, They Can Control You

Every tyrannical regime used fear to control its subjects—because that’s the only way people will willingly give up their freedom. And they do. It has happened throughout history and is now happening in the last place it ever should: America. Dennis offers advice and takes some of your questions.

Vivek Ramaswamy: Bring Down 'Woke,' Bring Back America

"Now 37-year-old entrepreneur businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has entered the race as the newest Republican candidate.

Whether this political novice has a chance at winning the highest elective office in the land remains to be seen. But for sure he has something to say and contribute.

......Inside our country, a vast left-wing culture has risen to power, peddling a message that ours is an evil, racist country that can only be fixed by seizing power and force-feeding "woke" values onto all our institutions.

But these successful first-generation offspring of immigrants raise the important question: If our county is so horrible, why is there no place on earth where more want to come and gain the privilege of citizenship?"

Those who hate FOX probably have never listened to it and they miss Bret Baier who reports news accurately. The Op Ed broadcasters are biased and focus on report on conservative topics so they are commentary reporters and you know where they are coming from. Baier does not slant the news nor does the other reporters on his show. You may not like the  subjects they select. That is another matter.
