Oppression Through Social Control

By: Jason Brown | Gulag Bound

Those that succumb to the desire to conform, will never be part of any solution, they will only perpetuate the status quo. Conformity does not lead one to attempt to make the world a better place, it only solidifies one’s mundane existence in the world’s current, static state. Progress and innovation cannot happen in the process of following the rules while living in a small box. The human race has seen its greatest moments at times when people choose to challenge the system and think outside of that ideological box.

Nonconformity, in this case, does not necessarily refer to illegality although that may be the case in extreme circumstances. The American Revolution is a great example of doing what was right, even though it was at odds with the respective “law” at that time. It was Nikola Tesla that argued, “It is the nonconformists who bring forth new the new ideas, creations, and ways of living which produce a vibrant society.”

This nonconformity that Tesla spoke of is absolutely necessary in a country like ours, as America has always been an inspiration, a beacon that gave hope to the rest of the world due to our undying drive to persevere. Those that came to America to start over have some inspiring stories. Many came with nothing but the clothes on their back and change in their pocket if they were lucky.

The freedom that we enjoy here inspires people to think of bigger, better ways to do things, more efficient methods for solving problems. But if Americans did not have the ability to ignore boundaries and challenge what is, we would still be living with 19th-century technology and we wouldn’t have smartphones or computers. All of these things exist because men dared to break the rules and go over and above what was accepted at the time. Many of these men did not even attend college. Is that a strength or a weakness? It seems as if it can be more of a strength when you take into consideration that public schools and universities generally teach you what to think, not how to think. Intellect refers to one’s ability to receive, process, and interpret information so that it may be applied to many scenarios in a pragmatic fashion. If you can only hear and repeat information, then that information is useless to you in the real world.

How do we typically define nonconformity? I think that many people have the perception that this resembles something sinister, perhaps associating the meaning of this term with a lawbreaker or criminal. That could be the case, but if you are coming to that conclusion you are probably reading into this a bit too much, and that is forcing you to make assumptions based on your worldview and past experiences. Problem solvers are not conformists. They do not subscribe to this idea of conformity because they recognize that sometimes the answer or solution to a problem is not always apparent and may not be easy. This involves looking at the problem from many different angles as one searches for a fix. Abstract thinking cannot exist when you are forced to stay within the lines that society has drawn to limit you and your actions. Occam’s razor and normalcy biases must be discarded if one wishes to think in this manner.

The central planners play to the emotions of the masses, using what we know as basic human nature against us. America was founded on a limited government mentality. The founding fathers knew that a government of men would eventually fall to temptations of the flesh, be it greed, lust, envy, or the like. In Federalist # 51, James Madison stated that “If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.”

As human beings, we are not perfect and a government made up of imperfect men will make mistakes, and sometimes even betray their fellow man. The US Constitution was unique, in that the only restrictions that appeared in this document that we refer to as the supreme law of the land, were restrictions on the power and authority of the government. Today we are seeing an Orwell/Huxley hybrid as we are smacked down or canceled for dissent while sinful behavior is awarded and cheered on by the masses. This results in a fear of stepping out of line, and a desire to indulge in self-destructive, sinful behavior.

This is a formula for societal suicide.

Fear is often used by those in power to control the masses. Irish statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke surmised, “No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.” False flags are used to promote fear through an event that is manufactured to an extent where the public, as well as elected officials, are led to react a certain way in response to the overwhelming psychological trauma that is felt. Many times, this is where we get knee-jerk reactions by politicians as they scramble to “protect” the people.

Many frown upon this term false flag, but before you start with the tin foil hat comments and the conspiracy theorist accusations, do some research. Look into the burning of the German Parliament (Reichstag) building that led to the Nazis’ rise in power under then-Chancellor Adolf Hitler. If you want to look at something more recent, check out “Operation Northwoods” from the early 1960s. This was never carried out but it was a plan was concocted by the federal government, the CIA more specifically. The documents are all declassified and online for anyone to look at. I don’t want to dive deep into these subjects because they are for another discussion and another day. I just want to make clear the measures that are taken to control the minds and actions of people can be unthinkable, and the rationale behind these measures can go over the heads of moral, rational people. This is due to the fact that such treachery requires that the perpetrators of these ungodly actions are void of morality or rationality, so an average person would have a hard time relating. This is why many choose to believe irrational narratives like the magic bullet theory and also why it is much easier to buy the story of a lone nut when a heinous crime is committed. Oversimplification is more convenient as it does not require any effort.

Another tool used by oligarchs in their pursuit of broad social control is the oversimplification of complex issues. This is used to cover up the many nuances that may act contrary to the official narrative. This forced ignorance of details is used often by media and academia. We allow for this method of control to be as effective as what it is, because the average person is generally lazy, and preoccupied with distractions that exist to keep people from wising up. I am not referring to physical laziness here, as many Americans work extremely hard as it is in our DNA. I’m putting a focus on mental or intellectual laziness, but in this case, it seems that people acquire this level of ignorance because they lose faith in the outlets that used to be good sources of information. The term “fake news” has become a universal slogan that acknowledges corruption in media. These frustrated people then resort to available distractions to occupy their time. Distractions can include sports, TV shows, movies, drinking, spending a lot of time socializing with friends in a leisure setting. This could also be why introverts tend to have above-average intelligence. They don’t take part in the distractions and they have time to contemplate life and the many things that tend to elude those that some refer to as “normal” people. I have always had a fascination with the use of the word “normal.” as it seems illogical to use the word in a manner that suggests it is a universally understood term. What is perceived as normal is subjective, and manifests differently for everyone.

One might wonder how central planners in positions of authority are able to implement severe violations of individual rights. The answer here lies in our once trusted institutions. Media, academia, and government. These will each be broken down in detail later but there was a time when even the government had some degree of credibility. The media exist to deliver the truth to the public and represent the public and their interests. Originally, this was done through objectivity, and the desire of journalists to be accurate in their reporting. This objectivity does not exist anymore in mainstream media. Our institutions of education are to blame for the creation of the anarchists that are currently attacking police officers, burning down businesses, and dragging people out of their cars to beat them senseless, or to death.

The problem here is that these institutions were once legitimate, necessary entities that contributed much to society. Many citizens today do not realize that there has been a significant power shift in these institutions that has resulted in social control measures that are almost impossible to notice because they are being utilized incrementally. Generation after generation, progressive revolutionaries have worked tirelessly in broad daylight, with the goal of overthrowing the US government and uprooting the capitalist economic system. Where does this desire for gutting the American way of life come from? Do these institutions know what they are advocating for, or are they made up of useful idiots, that are fighting for a cause that they do not fully understand?

No level of social control is possible without the controlled citizenry consenting in some way, shape, or form. Perhaps this will to be controlled or governed in a cradle-to-grave nanny state environment comes from our current societal position that has taken Almighty God out of the public square, out of the schools, and even discouraged theological discussion by itself or in conjunction with political debate. People tend to desire material things, which is not a bad thing in itself, but when one takes one’s eye off of God and refuses to walk in the spirit, those wants and desires can have adverse societal effects.

Sometimes, God will give us what we want when we are disobedient so that we can come to the realization on our own, that we will not have the things we desire if we abandon God and start giving our attention and our worship to false gods/idols. Sometimes this is the only way for God to show us because we feel the impact, and we suffer the consequence. I Samuel 8:6-20 talks about Samuel being displeased because the people were asking for a King to rule over them. They were asking for an earthly king to govern them while rejecting their true king, God Himself. God later granted their wish as he had his chosen Samuel anoint a king in Saul, to rule over the people, as God saw them worshipping false idols and looking away from Him. God must be our focus moving forward, as divinity played a major role in our country’s founding, the founders having a strong belief in a higher power. This belief in a higher power forms the very foundation that America was built upon.

Communist Party USA Affirms Loyalty to Beijing

It’s the 1930s all over again. American communists are now treating the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) with the same slavish reverence once reserved for Stalin and the mighty Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA), once shamelessly subservient to the CPSU, has now completely transferred its loyalties to the CCP.

On March 10, a high-level delegation from the CPUSA met with senior CCP officials in Beijing. According to an article on the CPUSA website, the International Department of the CPUSA and the International Commission of the Central Committee of the CCP “held a bilateral meeting to celebrate and discuss the 100th anniversary” of the CCP.

Los Angeles-based Rossana Cambron, national co-chair of the CPUSA, and Houston comrade Alvaro Rodriguez, the party’s international secretary, led the U.S. delegation.

Despite being a small party (estimated 5,000 members), the CPUSA delegation was treated with considerable respect and interest by CCP officials.

Delegate Tony Pecinovsky, a CPUSA organizer and labor historian from St. Louis, gave the CCP officials an overview of 100 years of party history.

Comrade Maicol David Lynch from New York explained to his Chinese hosts that “most young people have a positive attitude toward socialism, especially after the political election campaigns by Bernie Sanders. The CPUSA has attracted a lot of interest from young people and increasing numbers of young people are applying for membership.”

Comrade Zhou, the CCP’s international secretary, recounted a century of U.S.–China relations: “We remember how Americans came to help us during the War of Japanese Aggression, we remember the solidarity that the CPUSA showed the CPC during this time of resistance.”

Comrade Yinchuan, a member of the CCP’s central committee and international commission, boasted about China’s recent eradication of extreme poverty: “Our socialist market economy has lifted millions out of dire poverty, and by 2035, they will have achieved an even higher standard of life.”

The CPUSA also contributed to the Wanshou Forum on Feb. 28, 2019, in Beijing, on the theme of “Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind and Development of Socialism in the World.” The address was prepared by Cambron but because of illness, it was delivered by Ohio comrade Aleena Starks.

“Thank you for inviting our Party to participate in learning about the many important developments in your country. I bring greetings from our Party’s National Committee, wishing you all the best in establishing socialism with Chinese characteristics.”

Then, CPUSA Chairman John Bachtell and New York comrade Carol Widom also toured China from May 26 to June 3, 2018, in a visit that included a conference on the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth.

Some CPUSA members work in China promoting the CCP’s propaganda line. Their copy is reminiscent of 1930s Western sycophants and their unabashed praise for Stalinist Russia’s great achievements.

Houston communist Ian Goodrum is a writer and digital editor for China Daily in Beijing.

In October 2018, Goodrum wrote in the CPUSA’s People’s World:

“China and other countries governed by communist parties stand alone in that they have been able to chart their own course and resist imperialist aggression. They have not been subject to the same stringent limitations which keep so much of the developing world languishing in poverty and debt, limitations following the same rules of profit extraction analyzed by Marx in Capital.”

Boston activist Dylan Walker, a member of the Walden Workers Club of the CPUSA, is a graduate student studying international politics at Beijing Language and Culture University.

On Oct. 14 and 15, 2017, comrade Walker and fellow Boston CPUSA member Wadi’h Halabi participated in the 8th World Socialism Forum of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing.

“The theme of the international gathering focused on the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution in Russia and applying lessons from it to an examination of the ‘Temporal Characteristics of the Great Transformation Era, and Socialism with Chinese Characteristics,’” according to the Boston CPUSA,

In the same month, CCP mouthpiece the Global Times released an interview with Walker that, according to the Hong Kong Free Press, was viewed 78,000 times on Chinese video platform Miaopai.

In the interview, Walker says he became inspired by former CCP leader Mao Zedong’s thinking during his first visit to China in 2012:

“I think communism is the most advanced and the ideal social and political system. We just want to make sure everyone can get access to basic welfare and rights. … When I came to China for the first time, I bought versions of the ‘Quotations from Chairman Mao’ in Chinese and English. I read it almost every day after going back to the U.S. I kept it with me during class and I read it when I had time after classes. If I hadn’t learned the quotations, I wouldn’t have joined the Communist Party USA. So, Chairman Mao and the Communist Party of China have a special place in my heart. …

“The CPC now is admirable for me. Especially since President Xi Jinping took office. The corruption crackdown has swept nationwide. … Every time when I browse the website of the People’s Daily and Global Times, I can see such reports almost every day as corrupt officials get arrested. … What’s terrible is that a communist might have doubts towards communism and socialism, and then loses this belief and faith. Just like what President Xi said before, some communist members lack ‘calcium,’ that is lack of belief in communism and Marxism.”

Phoenix communist Rob McElwain reported in an October 2017 Facebook post that Halabi also enjoys a close relationship with the CCP:

“Wahd’i has been a special consultant to the government of China the past dozen years. He travels to meet with high-level personnel from the Communist Party of China to advise them on problems that loom in governing while maintaining the principles of not just Marxism, but the roots of power, the people.”

The March 2021 CPUSA delegation to China committed to working in “the interest of world peace, international solidarity, and cooperation rather than international confrontation.”

What would the CPUSA do if the United States got into a full-scale military confrontation with China?

An advertisement for a CPUSA reading group at the Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library in Oakland, California, on Dec. 4, 2010, answered the question this way:

“The United States government has been committing direct acts of provocation against China’s economy, and other aspects of its society, including its military. … If these confrontations are allowed to become full-blown, it … will demand from all of us new energies to struggle on yet another—perhaps the biggest—domestic front against U.S. Imperialism.”

In other words, the CPUSA would possibly fight for the CCP on U.S. soil.

If the Biden administration is truly serious about uncovering dangerous internal enemies in this country, it need look no further than the CPUSA.

DSA Marxists Take Control of Nevada Democratic Party

By: Trevor Loudon | The Epoch Times

Marxists from Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have captured the chairmanship and every key executive position in the Nevada Democratic Party.

This gives this country’s largest Marxist party (90,000 members) access to key Democratic Party decision-makers, sensitive party documents, and key donor lists. It will also energize the far left in a key “swing state.”

Despite its protests to the contrary, the DSA is a communist organization. The organization is formally aligned with Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, and the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism—all of which work closely with the Chinese Communist Party against the interests of the United States.

Progressive Slate

The DSA took control of the Nevada Democrats through a five-member “Progressive Slate.”

They were:

Chair candidate Judith Whitmer—chair of the Clark County Democratic Party, a former co-chair and co-founder of the “Left Caucus.”
First vice-chair candidate Jacob Allen—a DSA comrade from Washoe County who served as Bernie Sanders’s 2020 Northern Nevada political associate.
Second vice chair candidate Dr. Zaffar Iqbal—a physician who served as a Bernie 2020 NV co-chair, and founded both Muslims for Bernie and the Muslim Democratic Club.
Secretary candidate Ahmad Ade—a “proud Black Muslim” and a lifelong community organizer. Formerly affiliated with the Black Panther Party in Chicago.
Treasurer candidate Howard Beckerman—a Carson City-based DSA comrade.

Late in the day, moderate Democrats organized a counter slate to stand against the “Progressive Slate.”

Longtime Democratic functionary Tick Segerblom was encouraged by party moderates to stand for the chairmanship against Whitmer. Ironically, Segerblom, too, is a DSA comrade—albeit one with deeper Democratic Party roots than his opponent.

In a March 6 Facebook post, the Las Vegas DSA boasted:

“And no matter who wins today, the next chair of NV Dems will be a DSA member, and we will continue to push the party to truly represent working people.”

Whitmer beat Segerblom by a comfortable 248 votes to 216.

When the dust had settled, the DSA/Progressive Slate had won all five positions.

Groundwork

The DSA’s takeover of the Nevada Democratic Party took a couple of years to achieve. The DSA has had several hundred members in the Las Vegas area since 2017. A smaller Northern Nevada local was founded in Reno in late 2018. There are many at-large members active around the state, and a couple of student chapters.

Total active DSA membership in Nevada would likely be around 500 comrades, yet they have been able to capture the reins of the most powerful political party in the state.

According to Sam Mellins of The Daily Poster:

“Now DSA members and other progressive organizers are using the organizing tactics and power they built during the Bernie 2020 campaign to try to reshape the Nevada Democratic party into a progressive force.”

In July 2020, “progressives” captured nine of 14 contested seats when the Nevada State Democratic Party elected members to at-large positions on the state party’s executive board.

The Clark County Left Caucus, founded by Whitmer and other DSA comrades, as a vehicle for socialist influence in the Democratic Party, claimed credit for the victory. Whitmer told the Pahrump Valley Times:

“Left Caucus is committed to bringing progressive change to Nevada, through utilizing innovative platforms and approaches to bring in new voices to the Democratic Party.

“Progressives are on our way to bringing real change to Nevada. Our model and approach should serve as a key framework for progressives throughout the U.S. looking to make clear changes and policy reforms within the Democratic Party.”

How many grassroots Democrats in Nevada understand that they’re now voting for a Marxist-controlled party?

Widespread Infiltration

DSA infiltration of the Nevada Democratic Party isn’t an isolated aberration.

The DSA now has five comrades in Congress—Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Danny Davis (D-Ill.), Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.).

Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, have also been members.

The DSA also has well over 100 allied public office-holders in positions across the country, from library and flood control board members to judges and district attorneys.

Currently, six DSA comrades serve on the Chicago City Council and a slate of six more are running for New York City Council this year.

The DSA is involved in some type of “Progressive Caucus” or “Left Caucus” inside the Democratic Party in multiple states, including Hawaii, Washington, Montana, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, and California.

In California, the DSA is running well over 120 Marxist comrades through the Progressive Delegates Network for California Democratic Party Assembly District delegate spots at the April party convention.

No doubt the comrades will be backing DSA-friendly Delaine Eastin as she challenges incumbent Rusty Hicks for the California Democratic Party chairmanship.

In two or three election cycles, the DSA and its allies may well control the majority of state Democratic parties in the union.

Are Americans ready for a communist-dominated “mainstream” political party?

How Woke Conservatives Cancel Their Own Culture

By: Cliff Kincaid

Conservatives have canceled their own culture. Glenn Beck was a recent example, blasting anti-communist Senator Joe McCarthy and warning of a new “Red Scare” targeting conservatives. We should have taken the old Red Scare more seriously and could have avoided our current fate.

That fate, recently described by federal Judge Laurence Silberman, is the “ideological consolidation” of the media in the hands of the Democratic Party and its allies. Marx called it the centralization of the means of communications in the hands of the state.

My YouTube channel, America’s Survival TV, is one of many conservative outlets which have suffered as a result. The censors have decided that I have offended them not once but twice, with the two “strikes” leading inevitably to the removal of my work, including conferences and interviews on the Marxism problem, going back decades. They have the kind of power that can destroy my property at their whim since they provided the platform for my 400 videos. Of course, I was persuaded to start a channel in the first place because of the misguided notion that YouTube welcomed free and fair debate on all the major issues of our time.

Since the Democratic Party assumed control of the White House and Congress, the censorship has accelerated.

The Marxist consolidation of power has been driven in part by a reaction against “McCarthyism” that goes back decades. The public has been told that McCarthy persecuted innocent people and that the communists he pursued did not exist.

But one of my mentors, M. Stanton Evans, an authoritative figure in the conservative movement, wrote the definitive biography of McCarthy, Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies, which vindicated his anti-communist work.

Confirmation of McCarthy’s charges came from an unexpected source. Washington Post Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein wrote a book, Loyalties, about his parents, Al and Sylvia Bernstein, being members of the Communist Party. Al Bernstein begged his son not to publish this book, saying, “You’re going to prove McCarthy right because all he was saying was that the system was loaded with Communists. And he was right.”

Bernstein had an ax to grind against those, like Richard Nixon, who exposed communists like Alger Hiss. Nixon’s downfall in Watergate brought to power Democrats who cut off aid to South Vietnam, producing a Communist bloodbath and genocide in Southeast Asia.

McCarthy was unable to complete his investigation of communist infiltration of the government. Curiously, that probe was ended when McCarthy went into Bethesda Naval Hospital with a knee injury and came out dead from hepatitis.

Revelations about communist infiltration of all American institutions, including journalism, surface with regularity. Former CIA officer Nicholas Reynolds wrote, Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy, about the famous writer and author Ernest Hemingway being a Soviet spy. Hemingway was recruited into the enemy camp on ideological grounds.

On a recent show, Beck included Martin Luther King, Jr. on the list of innocent victims of the anti-communist witch hunt. He claimed the FBI decided to “spy” on King Jr. for no legitimate reason.

This left-wing myth, accepted by conservatives, shows how “woke” some conservatives have become. They have “canceled” McCarthy to make themselves look acceptable in the eyes of the left. They have embraced King, even though, under the influence of communist advisers, he attacked the noble cause of resisting the advance of communism in Vietnam.

It’s a shame that Beck has taken this turn since I once organized a “Bring Back Beck” campaign after he was fired from Fox News for exposing George Soros.

Ironically, before he started denouncing McCarthyism, he interviewed M. Stanton Evans about his book vindicating McCarthy. In this 2010 interview, Evans told Beck that in his research he found FBI files, “which backed up what McCarthy was saying,” and they “had been withheld for 50 years.” Evans added, “They show…essentially that he was right in general. There was a massive penetration of the government and that it was covered up and that he threatened that cover-up. And that is why he was isolated, demonized, and destroyed. That’s the technique.”

I wrote about Beck’s recent show attacking McCarthyism, noting that he compares McCarthyism to the attacks on Trump supporters as if McCarthy was somehow off-target in going after communists in government. In addition to the examples of communist penetration of the U.S. government that I cited in my column, evidence from Soviet archives and the decoded Soviet cables known as the Venona intercepts vindicated McCarthy.

In regard to the King matter, I suggest Beck consult a book by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK and Jackie Kennedy, entitled, Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy. The book makes it abundantly clear that Jack and Bobby Kennedy, as well as Jackie, saw through the public façade of the Reverend King and knew him to be a proven liar about his communist connections and a scoundrel in terms of his personal life. Jackie called King a “phony” in the taped conversations that form the basis of the book. The facts also show that he was a plagiarist who stole material from other people and claimed it as his own.

David J. Garrow explained some of the controversy in his 1981 book The FBI and Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as a 2002 Atlantic magazine article based on it. He notes that Bobby Kennedy, the Attorney General, authorized the FBI to begin wiretapping the telephones of King because he “believed that one of King’s closest advisers was a top-level member of the American Communist Party and that King had repeatedly misled Administration officials about his ongoing close ties with the man.” The associate was Stanley Levison, who had been involved in Communist Party USA financial affairs and was helping to arrange funding of the party by Moscow.

Beck was wrong for suggesting there was no legitimate reason to investigate King, and that the FBI did this on its own. Liberal Bobby Kennedy ordered J. Edgar Hoover to do it.

What’s more, we all know or should know by now, that King was a scoundrel in terms of his personal life. We can understand why Jackie called Reverend King a “phony” in the taped conversations that form the basis of the book. That’s because we now have an FBI report on the orgies he arranged and participated in. Jackie had access to that information.

Some conservatives don’t want to talk about King’s character because they might be accused of racism. This is ironic since one of King’s famous quotes was judging people on the content of their character and not by their racial heritage.

While Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a fighter for civil rights and showed unique courage in opposing racism, he had his own serious flaws, one of which was failing to understand the dangers of Marxism. That Marxist movement has hijacked the black cause and today has made it into one of the reparations.

In order to further divide and demoralize America, Marxism took civil rights and applied them to homosexuals and transgenders. Harry Hay, the modern-day founder of the gay rights movement, was a member of the Communist Party who wore a dress and believed in the occult. All of this has been planned out in advance. Today, it even infects the U.S. military.

We can’t recognize the predicament we’re in unless we give credit to those who dared to expose the communist threat when the Marxists began the process of infiltrating the American political system.

Marijuana Madness in the White House

By: Cliff Kincaid

If you’ve been following “March Madness,” look no further than the purge of potheads in the White House. Somebody in power — perhaps Joe Biden himself — decided that potheads should not be writing his policies and speeches. He understands that using marijuana is still illegal under federal law and that it has wreaked havoc on his own family members.

News of the firings of potheads was leaked to the publication The Daily Beast, which reported that “dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use.”

Perhaps the stench of marijuana was getting too heavy around the Oval Office. Or perhaps there is a growing awareness at the highest levels of the government of the damage the drug is doing to people.

If it wasn’t Biden, it may have been Dr. Vivek Murthy, who was just confirmed as Surgeon General. He has been opposed to marijuana legalization in the past and has expressed concern about how rapidly states have been legalizing marijuana without understanding the potency of the drug.

In a letter to Dr. Murthy, the group Americans Against Legalizing Marijuana noted that research on marijuana’s harmful effects is known and accumulating. “This is a social change that has no positive outcomes,” the group says.

Anti-drug activists are pleased that the Biden White House has “doubled down” on defending the firing of potheads in the face of immense pressure and ridicule.

Our media have been implicated in the drug culture since the Jimmy Carter days, when Dr. Peter Bourne, Carter’s adviser on drug abuse, resigned amidst charges that he had written an illegal prescription for quaaludes and had been observed snorting cocaine at a National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) party. Two Washington Post reporters were at the party.

In regard to marijuana and other drugs, some believe we are entering the Brave New World of Aldous Huxley, where Soma is prescribed for the population, to alter their consciousness. The Journal of Addiction Research & Therapy has published a ground-breaking analysis of how marijuana is linked to violence, mental illness, and even Jihad.

In this regard, the arrest of a Black Lives Matter activist in possession of a firearm, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia is significant. He was arrested for allegedly participating in the defacement of a statue of former President Lincoln in Idaho during Black History Month. The activist, Terry Wilson, was identified as a former Boise State University adjunct professor.

The White House pothead firings created a problem, since Vice President Harris is a disciple of the marijuana movement, having declared it a mind-altering substance that brings “joy” to the world.

For potheads, “Joy to the World” means recreational marijuana. For Democrats and some Republicans, legalization means that stoners with a habit buy more and more dope, creating more government revenue.

Harris said during the campaign that marijuana would be decriminalized at a federal level in the United States under a Biden administration.

Democrats have been spearheading the drug legalization movement, egged on by millions from George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg, and there has been predictable resistance to the firing of those White House staffers over their marijuana use.

The group NORML highlighted the fact that the Congressional Marijuana Caucus, led by Representatives Earl Blumenauer, Don Beyer, Jared Huffman, Mondaire Jones, and Barbara Lee, fired off a letter to Biden protesting the firings. The members noted that “Those in the upper ranks of your administration won’t face consequences for their cannabis use, and nor should they, but the same standard should be applied across the administration.”

By that, they meant Kamala Harris, now in charge of America’s open borders policy.

Kamala Harris loves marijuana, which is about to be legalized nationally in Mexico, and Joe Biden knows a lot about it, too. His daughter was busted for weed and his son Hunter experienced harder drugs like cocaine, forcing him out of the military after he was caught snorting.

There’s absolutely no indication that China Joe is a user but Barack Hussein Obama was such a notorious abuser of hard drugs that there was speculation about whether this stoner president was mentally impaired. Of course, China Joe seems mentally impaired in other ways.

Obama was a former member of the “Choom Gang” of heavy marijuana users and admitted to using cocaine. David Maraniss, the author of a book on Obama, notes that the word “choom” means to smoke marijuana. He said Obama “started a few pot-smoking trends,” suggesting the future president understood ways to make the “high” from the drug even more powerful and lasting. One method they used was to smoke dope in a car and then inhale or suck in what was left of the smoke in the ceiling of the car.

The firing of the Biden White House pothead staffers gives us some hope that Biden may not completely embrace the national drive launched by Obama (and embraced by Harris) to make cannabis more legally and freely available. It appears that someone in the White House making these decisions understands the lingering effects of the heavy use of illegal drugs. Perhaps Biden doesn’t want people around him who followed the example of his son Hunter.

Trapper’s Quote Of The Week

By: Trapper Pettit

When you understand that the national debt consists of obligations financed by IOUs, printed, and borrowed money, you don’t have to be a world-class economist to realize that we aren’t living in a debt bubble but instead a nuclear warhead.

Fauci Didn’t Tell Senate He Funded China Virus Creation At Wuhan Virology Lab

By: Daniel John Sobieski

Everyone has seen the heated exchange between Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during a Senate hearing last Thursday. The disagreement centered around Dr. Fauci’s advice that people already vaccinated should continue to wear masks, due to the risks from COVID-19 variants. Sen. Paul had no patience with a feckless, bloviating, and press-hungry Fauci who has lied about mask-wearing and everything else. But what was missing was a key question – Dr. Fauci, how responsible are you for helping create this pandemic in the first place?

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) has recently confirmed two things that I wrote about a year ago, that the Chinese Wuhan virus likely escaped from a Chinese lab where bats were brought from their distant habitat to the Wuhan Virology Lab for so-called “gain-of-function” research and that Dr. Anthony Fauci got around a U.S. ban on such research by helping to issue an NIH grant funding the same dangerous research in China.

As I wrote a year ago, part of the funding was funneled through a leftist environmental front group called the EcoHealth Alliance. As reported by Breitbart News:

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that the federal government provided funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for researching bat coronaviruses.

“Through our research and some great researchers out there working in various levels of the press, they have discovered that through the NIH, we did have grant dollars that went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Ernst said in an interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily….

“So yes, we have actually subsidized research at the Wuhan lab — how scary — and for a number of years we actually had U.S. diplomats that were warning us about the dangers associated with this lab, and yet we were subsidizing it,” Ernst stated….

The National Institute of Health (NIH) sent at least $600,000 to China’s state-run virology laboratory in Wuhan via EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), a left-wing nonprofit based in New York City that alleges a link between “climate change” and pandemics. EcoHealth Alliance failed to disclose the money it sent to the Chinese government’s Wuhan laboratory came from an NIH grant, the Daily Caller reported.

Back in April 2020, Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz asked an obvious question, one that has not come up at all in the mainstream media’s echo of the Harris-Biden administration’s blaming of President Donald H. Trump for the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus pandemic – why was the Wuhan Virology Lab a grantee of the National Institutes of Health, of which Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is a member, and a recipient of $3.7 million to study coronavirus in bats? Gaetz went beyond mere curiosity, writing a letter to then HHS Secretary Azar demanding the grant be terminated:

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., called on Health & Human Services Secretary Alex Azar Tuesday to cease funding a research grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, telling “Tucker Carlson Tonight” the action could be accomplished “with the stroke of a pen.”

“I’m against funding Chinese research in our country, but I’m sure against funding it in China,” Gaetz said. “The NIH [National Institutes of Health] gives a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology [and] they then advertise that they need coronavirus researchers and following that, coronavirus erupts in Wuhan.”…

“What’s really troubling to me is either conspicuously or miraculously the Wuhan Institute of Virology is able to sequence the virus on January 2 but China doesn’t admit to the virus existing until January 9 and then the Wuhan Institute of Virology doesn’t release this important scientific information to the world until January 12,” Gaetz said.

“So at best, Americans are funding people who are lying to us and at worst, we’re funding people who we knew had problems handling pathogens, who then birthed a monster virus onto the world,” he added.

If you go to the Wuhan Institute of Virology website ad look under “Partnerships” you will see listed “the National Institutes of Health of the United States” along with the likes of the University of Alabama, the University of North Texas, Harvard University, EcoHealth Alliance, among others.

Yet, after the virus outbreak, China would not let U.S. health authorities in to examine the labs and their safeguards, interview staff, or collect samples, both from the animals used in tests at the lab or tissue samples from early victims. Tissue samples were destroyed, bodies hidden and cremated, and false statements were made about the possibility of human-to-human transmission passed on to the world through China’s sock puppet, the World (or is it Wuhan) Health Organization. To this day, serious access and scrutiny are barred.

How could the press not know about the NIH funding and be curious about it? Could the lack of notice and discussion concerning why we were funding the possible, if not likely, source of a global pandemic be because Dr. Fauci is somewhat of a media favorite for his ambivalence and cautiousness towards President Trump’s virus response initiatives? Fortunately, the Daily Mail has provided us some fascinating information:

The Chinese laboratory at the center of scrutiny over a potential coronavirus leak has been using U.S. government money to carry out research on bats from the caves which scientists believe are the original source of the deadly outbreak.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology undertook coronavirus experiments on mammals captured more than 1,000 miles away in Yunnan which were funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US government.

Sequencing of the COVID-19 genome has traced it back to bats found in Yunnan caves but it was first thought to have transferred to humans at an animal market in Wuhan.

The revelation that the Wuhan Institute was experimenting on bats from the area already known to be the source of COVID-19 – and doing so with American money – has sparked further fears that the lab, and not the market, is the original outbreak source. …

According to documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday, scientists there experimented on bats as part of a project funded by the US National Institutes of Health, which continues to licence the Wuhan laboratory to receive American money for experiments….

As part of the NIH research at the institute, scientists grew a coronavirus in a lab and injected it into three-day-old piglets.

Say what? We helped fund this monster before it broke out of the lab? And we complain about China lying to us? We have been keeping the truth from ourselves. What has Dr. Fauci kept quiet about these fascinating factoids? That NIH-funded research into piglets and coronavirus is worth a serious look:

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) (a member of the NIH) actually funded a study on Bat Coronavirus, which was a project that included scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab at the center of controversy over their bat research. That study confirmed in 2018 that humans have died from coronavirus.

Here’s an excerpt from the April 4, 2018, NIAID website entry entitled “New Coronavirus Emerges From Bats in China, Devastates Young Swine”: “A newly identified coronavirus that killed nearly 25,000 piglets in 2016-17 in China emerged from horseshoe bats near the origin of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), which emerged in 2002 in the same bat species. The new virus is named swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV). It does not appear to infect people, unlike SARS-CoV which infected more than 8,000 people and killed 774. No SARS-CoV cases have been identified since 2004. The study investigators identified SADS-CoV on four pig farms in China’s Guangdong Province. The work was a collaboration among scientists from EcoHealth Alliance, Duke-NUS Medical School, Wuhan Institute of Virology, and other organizations, and was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. The research is published in the journal Nature. The researchers say the finding is an important reminder that identifying new viruses in animals and quickly determining their potential to infect people is a key way to reduce global health threats.”

Well, the road to pandemic hell was paved with seemingly good intentions, at least on our part. We were not only funding Chinese research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology but we knew the lab was a leaky, unsafe, ticking time bomb in 2018, according to leaked State Department cables:

Two years before the novel coronavirus pandemic upended the world, U.S. Embassy officials visited a Chinese research facility in the city of Wuhan several times and sent two official warnings back to Washington about inadequate safety at the lab, which was conducting risky studies on coronaviruses from bats….

In January 2018, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing took the unusual step of repeatedly sending U.S. science diplomats to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which had in 2015 become China’s first laboratory to achieve the highest level of international bioresearch safety (known as BSL-4). WIV issued a news release in English about the last of these visits, which occurred on March 27, 2018. The U.S. delegation was led by Jamison Fouss, the consul general in Wuhan, and Rick Switzer, the embassy’s counselor of environment, science, technology, and health. Last week, WIV erased that statement from its website, though it remains archived on the Internet.

What the U.S. officials learned during their visits concerned them so much that they dispatched two diplomatic cables categorized as Sensitive But Unclassified back to Washington. The cables warned about safety and management weaknesses at the WIV lab and proposed more attention and help. The first cable, which I obtained, also warns that the lab’s work on bat coronaviruses and their potential human transmission represented a risk of a new SARS-like pandemic.

“During interactions with scientists at the WIV laboratory, they noted the new lab has a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory,” states the Jan. 19, 2018, cable, which was drafted by two officials from the embassy’s environment, science and health sections who met with the WIV scientists. …

The Chinese researchers at WIV were receiving assistance from the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch and other U.S. organizations, but the Chinese requested additional help. The cables argued that the United States should give the Wuhan lab further support, mainly because its research on bat coronaviruses was important but also dangerous.

Fox News analyst Steve Hilton has done the heavy lifting in unearthing the truth about the virus’s origins in the Wuhan Virology Lab and Dr. Fauci’s role in the research that created the Wuhan Chinese virus. In a series of broadcasts, Hilton detailed Fauci’s fascination with “gain-of-function” research – giving virus features and transmissibility it doesn’t have – as something worth the risk.

Fox News’ Steve Hilton shared an investigation that breaks down the origins of the coronavirus, and not only links it back to the U.S. commissioned research but also to Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The host of “The Next Revolution” told his viewers that the evidence uncovered “points to the most likely cause of the pandemic and it’s worse than anything that we have heard so far.”

Highlighting a study 10 years ago in the Netherlands involving ferrets, which have respiratory systems that operate similar to humans, Hilton said researchers “were trying to see if the virus that starts out without the ability to be transmitted through the air can eventually gain that ability.”

“This led to the creation of an entirely new type of scientific research made possible by advances in gene technology,” he said. “It was called gain-of-function virus research. The idea was to replicate in a lab what had been done with those ferrets — to take the virus and manipulate the genetic code to make it stronger and more powerful. The virus would gain new function, hence the name.”…

The great risk being if a highly contagious virus managed to escape the lab, it could cause calamity — much like the world is seeing today with COVID-19.

Hilton shared that the Obama administration put a moratorium on the controversial research.

“Despite the controversy surrounding this type of research,” he said, “it always had one steadfast champion, a leading figure in the world of infectious diseases, Anthony Fauci. His institute funded that first ferret study. At the time he co-wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post describing the research as “a risk worth taking… important information and insight can come from generating a potentially dangerous virus in the laboratory.”

“Shortly before the Obama Administration’s ban on gain-of-function research in 2014, Dr. Fauci commissioned … a project to assess the risk of new coronaviruses emerging from wild animals like bats — one of the aims was to see what viruses can infect animals and humans,” Hilton said.

The Fox News host said that while the Obama administration stopped the research, Fauci “continued on by subcontracting it” to the NY-based EcoHealth Alliance.

Sharing what he called a “crucial step that has never been reported,” Hilton noted that EcoHealth Alliance then subcontracted the gain-of-function piece to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The rest, as they say, is history. Dr. Fauci found a way around a U.S. ban on this deadly research by subcontracting it out all the way to his friends in Wuhan, China, and the lab where it escaped to infect the world. He arguably broke the law, the spirit if not the letter. Dr. Fauci is arguably culpable in the deaths of over half a million Americans.

The deadly research might have gone on anyway without NIH-Fauci funding, but he knew about it, could have exposed it, could have stopped it, or at the very least told us the truth about it.

As it turns out, Fauci’s NIH was funding dangerous research in Wuhan while the state Department was warning a global pandemic could leak from the lab, something Chinese scientists said was likely in a South China University study paper. A pandemic study commission formed by the British government concluded that the lab leak could no longer be dismissed out of hand as just another tin-foil hat conspiracy theory. Neither should we. Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci has some ‘splainin’ to do.

The China Virus Deception Campaign

By: Cliff Kincaid

China Joe Biden calls Russian President Putin a killer but can’t bring himself to say the same thing about China President Xi, who is in charge of a controversial biological warfare lab in Wuhan that has been linked to 2.75 million dead.

“He’s a smart, smart guy,” Biden said at his news conference. “We’re not looking for confrontation,” he added.

During the history of the world, at critical turning points, there have been massive deception operations. Think about the Trojan Horse. Or consider how D-Day was designed to convince the Nazis that the main Allied landings would be in the Pas-de-Calais and not in Normandy. The latest and most successful deception operation is the China virus campaign. We are the victims and can’t even call it the China virus.

On the other hand, we can call the variants by their country names, such as the South African variant, the British variant, and the Brazilian variant.

Simply stated, the Communist Chinese and their supporters (“the patriotic united front”) want people to think their government had nothing to do with the release of this virus. It was just an accident, they say, that it happened in Wuhan, a center of China’s declared biowarfare/biodefence capacity. They have even blamed American troops for the disaster.

President Trump understood from the start that the China virus was a national security threat.

As the world attempts to recover from the China virus, the communists are committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. They are in the same position as Hitler when he thought he was on the road to world domination. The world didn’t take him seriously, as he began mass extermination campaigns.

Almost exactly a year ago, in my column, “A Frankenstein Monster Devouring the World,” I noted the curious timing of the virus, saying, “President Trump was moving in the direction of America-first policies before the Chinese unleashed their virus on the world.”

In that column, I examined Chinese work in the area of scientific and genetic experiments, including biowarfare. They seem to be undertaking all of the controversial experiments the Nazis were doing in the name of the “Fatherland,” The Chinese, in their “Constitution of the People’s Republic of China,” call it the “Motherland.”

Aware of the dangers and understanding things about the disease that only he, as president, would know, Trump launched Operation Warp Speed to develop vaccines. He could not, of course, declare war on China. We were not prepared for that and he had the immediate task of protecting our people from this bioweapon.

Before going out of office, the Trump Administration noted that Operation Warp Speed was “an unprecedented drive to develop and make available an effective vaccine by January 2021” and that Pfizer and Moderna developed two vaccines in just nine months, five times faster than the fastest prior vaccine development in American history.

This amazing success demonstrated how, when government bureaucracies are cut down to size and regulations reduced, the private sector can act quickly.

Trump did what he had to do – tap America’s scientific expertise in a partnership to save lives. He had no other alternative.

Little did he know that much of the opposition would come from some of his own supporters and that they would turn on him.

One person wrote to me, saying, “We’re dealing with a MONSTER VACCINE, not a monster virus.” The Chinese Communists unleashed a killer on the world and yet these people are saying they fear Trump’s Operation Warp Speed more than the China virus attack on our people.

Some people write to me with even more outlandish assertions, insisting that Trump is guilty of genocide for authorizing new vaccines and ushering in the end times.

Journalist Alex Berenson, a critic of some government policies during Covid-19, such as masks and lockdowns, has concluded after analyzing the data that the theory behind the mRNA vaccines has merit and that the vaccines “do work.” Many questions remain, he says, but “the mRNA hypothesis has now been shown to work in the most dramatic possible way.”

He adds this: “Vaccine advocates see a scientific leap forward that works not just against the coronavirus but influenza, other viruses, and even cancer.”

While I am not a professional vaccine advocate and have had doubts about them in the past, I have come to the same conclusion as Berenson.

Conservatives are being told, however, that Trump is guilty of genocide. One conservative columnist claimed the very successful Pfizer vaccine program in Israel amounted to a “holocaust” against the Jews. The reverse is true. Indeed, right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had hoped that the results from what was described as “a world-beating Covid vaccination campaign” would help him in the elections there. The nation had fully vaccinated 50.2% of its population.

China Joe Biden has a different approach than Trump while exploiting Operation Warp speed to his political advantage. His top people recently met with Chinese Communist officials and failed to raise the issue of the China virus at all. Is this because Biden fears the Chinese or that his people are being paid off by them?

In terms of sheer numbers of people killed, the China virus is an instrument of mass murder. Citing official numbers, the anti-communist Epoch Times on Wednesday provided the latest U.S. casualties:

US Confirmed Cases: 30,587,629
US Deaths: 556,111
US Recovered: 22,851,070

The Epoch Times has no doubt this is a China virus but goes further, calling it the “CCP Virus,” referring to the Chinese Communist Party. The publication declares, “The name holds the CCP accountable for its wanton disregard of human life and consequent spawning of a pandemic that has put untold numbers in countries around the world at risk while creating widespread fear and devastating the economies of nations trying to cope with this disease.”

Nevertheless, Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler blamed the Atlanta shootings on people referring to the Chinese origin of the China virus. We are told “anti-Asian racism” and not China’s biological warfare campaign is the real problem. Racism is always an evil, but it’s the racism of the Chinese regime, as they campaign to expand the “Motherland,” that is also of utmost concern. Many more lives are being lost because of the murderous mindset of the Chinese communists. They have made it clear, after taking Hong Kong, the next target is Taiwan. They say so in their party constitution.

While private biotech companies have come to our assistance, as a result of directives from Trump through Operation Warp Speed, there are many serious questions remaining about how government agencies, including the Pentagon, were collaborating with the Chinese.

One of my Freedom of Information Requests (FOIA) at one of the agencies has been stalled. But the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) filed also filed a FOIA with the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectiousness Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health seeking all documents in its possession and that of Director Anthony S. Fauci regarding grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan.

Going further, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for National Institutes of Health (NIH) records of communications, contracts, and agreements with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China

There are also honest liberals who have been looking at it.

For example, the U.S. Right to Know organization has been examining “how, where and why the virus first infected humans, as well as information about leaks and other mishaps at biosafety labs and the risks of gain-of-function research, which aims to increase the lethality or infectivity of potential pandemic pathogens.” The group has already found evidence that some of the people in U.S. government-funded organizations have been trying to divert attention away from the laboratory origin of the virus because they had been working with Chinese scientists at the Wuhan lab.

Independent left-wing journalist Sam Husseini has written an article about how various “experts” have been “remarkably evasive” about the source of the disease and whether it came from a lab.

But with so many conservatives questioning the life-saving vaccines, and Democratic Party “progressives” refusing to confront China over the origin of the virus, we are still at the mercy of this deadly killer. The Chinese are sitting on top of the world and laughing as they destroy us.

Trump’s Fair-Weather Friends

By: Cliff Kincaid

I have discovered to my chagrin that some of former President Trump’s most vociferous critics were one-time supporters of his policies. These are the people who reject his signature achievement, Operation Warp Speed, producing anti-China virus vaccines in record time. It’s the one achievement that China Joe Biden won’t dismantle and in fact, wants to exploit for his own political benefit.

By contrast to the informed consent form for the vaccines, I didn’t have to sign anything from China before the communists unleashed their virus on the world. They didn’t ask for my permission. They were experimenting, in my view, with viruses in a lab under military control. When it got out, deliberately or accidentally, they blamed the United States as part of a communist disinformation campaign.

I hate the Chinese communist regime and what it represents. What they did to our people was an act of war. I thank President Trump for confronting the Chinese regime and launching Operation Warp Speed to counter the effects of the virus. He should still be in office.

Whatever you decide, remember that it’s not just your life that’s at stake. Family and friends could get the disease from you.

In deciding what to do, take note of the fact that conservative governors such as Ron DeSantis in Florida are promoting the vaccines. Conservative governments around the globe are promoting them, too.

Since I came out in favor of taking the vaccines, many former Trump supporters have attacked me. I depended on what Trump experienced and has said. But I also analyzed the arguments for and against the vaccines. I interviewed on America’s Survival TV several critics. I made my decision after reading the material that was provided to me in advance and which I had to sign. I fear the virus more than the vaccine.

What the critics of Trump don’t focus on is the nature of the virus, except to say they doubt this or that. Some claim the China virus is a total hoax or fraud. Some think it’s like the common cold or flu. I suspect they don’t know people who have gotten the disease, one of whom is Trump. One person I know who got it was in the hospital for months. He barely survived. His doctors said the virus is unique, unlike anything previously known because it attacks vulnerable parts of the body. It attacks the body at the body’s weakest link. It looks like the flu in some respects but is much more insidious.

These former Trump supporters reject his experience, in coming down with the disease, and his declaration that the vaccine is safe and effective. He was exposed to many of America’s top doctors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. But that doesn’t matter to them.

Some current and former Trump supporters don’t like Fauci and have other “experts.” That’s their right to seek opinions elsewhere. I have done so as well. I don’t trust Fauci. Neither does Senator Rand Paul, a medical doctor. He rejects Fauci’s advice on masks but accepts the need for the vaccines.

If people don’t accept the vaccines, it means they are also dismissive of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his efforts to control the disease by getting the population quickly vaccinated. This is the governor said to be “Trump’s heir” to the White House. And he is completely on board with “Operation Warp Speed” and has accelerated his plan for getting Florida residents vaccinated.

The GOP Doctors Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives is vigorously promoting the vaccines. They also note, “Despite calls for national unity and bipartisanship, President Joe Biden and his top aides have declined to give the Trump administration credit on the nation’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout while relying heavily on a system established by their predecessors.”

Operation Warp Speed was a great success, one that will cement Trump’s importance and significance in American history. Yet, some of his former supporters don’t want to take the vaccine, despite his assurances of safety and effectiveness. I’ve heard from some of them. On the issue of vaccines, in contrast to what Trump did for the country in many other areas, they are suddenly anti-Trumpers. What a shame.

What I have experienced, in terms of taking a stand for the vaccine, reveals a group of people who think they know far more than Trump or anybody else who has gotten the disease. They think they are doing good by distributing information from dubious sources, This is a sad tendency that exists today because of so many different sources of information on the Internet (despite Big Tech’s arbitrary and stupid censorship efforts). People find some person saying something controversial and get scared, coming to the conclusion that the vaccine is too risky and more dangerous than getting sick from the virus. They rely on others with questionable credentials. Some are selling “natural” cures or supplements.

Decades earlier, some so-called medical experts were claiming that HIV/AIDS was fiction and that, in case it was real, it was manufactured in a U.S. military lab. That was pure communist disinformation picked up by people like Dan Rather and Barack Hussein Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright. Then, the Soviets were spreading the disinformation to take our attention away from communist biological experiments.

It doesn’t help that our intelligence agencies have been consistently duped by our enemies. The FBI falsely blamed a series of American scientists for the post-9/11 anthrax attacks. The anthrax was made in a lab but it was stolen by al Qaeda operatives with connections to those labs. Our FBI, at this late date, has still not gotten to the bottom of that scandal.

In regard to the China virus, some people focus on the fine print of possible side effects from the vaccine. They emphasize its experimental nature. All of that is true.

I’m scared, too, except that I fear the virus more than the vaccine. I have talked to victims of the disease and will not take a chance of avoiding it through the use of alternative treatments or vitamins. But you are welcome to take your chances. You have a right to consider Fauci a bigger enemy than the Chinese regime.

In fact, we know a lot about the vaccine but little about the virus. And that’s by design by China. The communists have covered up this disaster for the world from the beginning. As Trump quickly realized, the way out of this mess was a vaccine. He had no other choice. He had to act, and he did.

There are possible risks but as we saw on Tuesday when problems with the trials involving the AstraZeneca vaccine were detected, it appears there is a series of checks and balances in place.

When you examine the Trump Administration’s list of accomplishments, you find many in domestic and foreign affairs being undone by Biden/Harris.

But one achievement stands out: “Brought the full power of American medicine and government to produce a safe and effective vaccine in record time.” Millions of doses were quickly made available. Biden won’t unravel this achievement because he is trying to take advantage of it and take credit for it.

It’s a sad commentary that Trump’s greatest achievement is now being doubted or dismissed by people who once claimed to be his biggest supporters. They are playing into the hands of Trump’s mortal enemy – Communist China. They could lose their lives because of misguided opposition to life-saving vaccines.

Fear the Virus or the Vaccine?

By: Cliff Kincaid

I’m astounded by the number of die-hard Trump supporters who reject the former president’s advice on vaccines. Trump told Maria Bartiromo, “I would recommend it, and I would recommend it to a lot of people that don’t want to get it, and I lot of those people voted for me frankly. But again, we have our freedoms and we have to live by that and I agree with that also. But it’s a great vaccine, and it is a safe vaccine and it is something that works.”

The former president does not believe the China virus is a hoax or a fraud. He knows it’s real because he got it. He and his wife also got the vaccine.

In my opinion, you are playing Russian roulette if you don’t get a vaccine. By the way, the Russians know the virus is dangerous. Russian President Putin is getting his vaccine on Tuesday. Russia has produced three vaccines.

Please note that Senator Rand Paul has argued with Dr. Fauci over masks, but he supports the vaccine. He doesn’t need it, saying, “It is inappropriate for me – who has already gotten the virus/has immunity – to get in front of elderly/healthcare workers.” He said the same goes for AOC or any young healthy person.

His point is that if you don’t get the disease, get the vaccine. On the other hand, Trump got the disease and the vaccination as well. He wanted an additional guarantee of immunity.

Trump knows this is a dangerous virus that was made in a Chinese lab under military control. They are engaged in biological warfare against our people.

The question for many is what they fear most. Some don’t trust Fauci, Gates, or Big Pharma. But others fear the virus more. Count me among the latter. I don’t necessarily trust the medical or scientific establishments but I also don’t trust the Chinese Communist Party and its military establishment. I believe they tried to poison the world, for the purposes of defeating Trump and destroying the economies of the West.

I do trust the first-person accounts of people, like Trump, who have gotten the Covid-19 disease. Clearly, this isn’t ordinary flu.

Consider sources like the GOP Doctors Caucus in the House, composed of 18 medical providers who utilize their medical expertise and backgrounds to develop patient-centered health care policy. They are not lackeys of Fauci or Gates. They SUPPORT the China virus vaccine.

In fact, three of them, Andy Harris, Greg Murphy, and Mariannette Miller-Meeks, said in a recent op-ed that “vaccination, particularly for the most vulnerable Americans, is the surest way for us to overcome the Covid-19 crisis. As physicians, we celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel, in large part due to Operation Warp Speed.” That was President Trump’s project.

The GOP Doctors Caucus vouches for the safety of the vaccine. These doctors are not lapdogs for the Great Reset. They are trying to save lives.

If you fear the disease and choose the vaccine, there are possible side effects. On the other hand, if you fear the vaccine and don’t take it, there are possible side effects, too.

If you get the disease, convinced the deaths have been inflated and that it’s comparable to the common cold, be prepared for whatever happens next. Be prepared for the possibility that before you get sick or die you could spread the disease to your family and friends.

Those who say the vaccine isn’t a real vaccine are missing the point. As Trump says, it “works” like a vaccine. However, it is experimental and authorized for emergency purposes. There is a risk in taking it. You have to sign several pages of warnings before you get the shot. I did so.

As the founder of a group once called the Committee to Protect Medical Freedom, I have always been skeptical of some vaccine claims. Vaccines have been taken off the market because of their dangerous side effects. Some injure and kill people. Some are made from controversial ingredients, including aborted baby tissue. I held a national news conference years ago to oppose a mandatory HIV/AIDS vaccine. I have posted several videos about vaccine dangers and continue to be skeptical of government policy dictating that every child get 69 doses of 16 vaccines, some with controversial chemical ingredients.

There is a reason why there is a federal National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to compensate victims of vaccines. Big Government is protecting Big Business from liability for their products. That being said, some vaccines are absolutely necessary for human health in general.

What is fascinating in this case is the attitude of Trump, who said during the 2016 campaign that he would not automatically reject the notion that vaccines were linked to rising rates of autism. Trump said that he was “totally in favor of vaccines” but favored “smaller doses over a longer period of time.” Dr. Ben Carson agreed, saying, “It is true that we are probably giving way too many in too short a period of time. And a lot of pediatricians now recognize that, and, I think, are cutting down on the number and the proximity in which those are done, and I think that’s appropriate.”

The unique circumstances of the China virus include that it came from a country run by a murderous dictatorship during an American election year. The timing is important. There’s no doubt the Democrats used the virus as an opportunity to do what the Chinese wanted to do – arrange the election in such a way to depose Trump. The former president, with access to classified information, clearly understood what was going on and decided that “Operation Warp Speed” was the only way out. He was also consistently warning about Democratic Party efforts to fix the election against him

Many religious leaders typically opposed to using vaccines based on fetal cells have changed their minds in this case. I think the reason is they genuinely fear the virus more than the vaccine. The virus is the greater danger to human health in the long run. They hold China responsible but don’t want to do so in a public manner.

Trump is not alone. The conservative government of Brazil doesn’t think the virus is a hoax. It wants to import vaccines from America. The conservative government of Poland is also promoting acceptance of the vaccine.

If you think Chinese dictator Xi Jinping’s military was just experimenting with a variation of the flu in that Wuhan lab, you have a right to believe that. But don’t count me among those who give the regime the benefit of the doubt. And there really isn’t any doubt left. The only serious question is whether it leaked out of a lab by accident or was released on purpose. The effect is still the same. What’s debatable is the nature of the virus and why the effects vary widely, such as canceling out the sense of smell and taste, and why it creates so many variants.

By any objective measure, the China virus is more deadly than the ordinary flu. But even if the death rates do slow down, the question about the China virus from the beginning has been how dangerous and lethal it could become. Nobody knew, except perhaps the Chinese, and they weren’t saying.

The claim that the virus is killing people who would die anyway from other causes is morally objectionable and contemptible.

None of this justifies the draconian lockdowns of most of the American population. On the other hand, what’s happening in America is not “fascism,” as left-wing feminist Naomi Wolf claimed during an appearance on Russia state-funded TV. (She is one of several left-wing guests who have recently been appearing on Tucker Carlson’s Fox show as well). This is old-fashioned Marxism and America is now at the mercy of a one-party Marxist state, with the major means of communication under the effective control of that regime and covering for China.

That’s essentially what federal Judge Laurence Silberman was saying in a dissent in a defamation case, in which he referred to the “ideological consolidation of the press” in America. He added that “ideological homogeneity in the media — or in the channels of information distribution — risks repressing certain ideas from the public consciousness just as surely as if access were restricted by the government.” He named major media as well as Silicon Valley.

What we have seen in this regard in the China virus case is a willingness by these organs to ignore the role of the Communist Chinese regime in creating or letting loose this pandemic on the world. That’s the key point many conservatives are missing.

The latest example is coverage of the mass shooting in Atlanta involving some Asian women working at a spa providing massages. It had nothing to do with their Asian heritage and more to do with the killer’s sex addiction. Yet, Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler blamed the attacks on “political leaders who have demonized China.” This is from the Marxist playbook. Such lunacy gets attention from state media in the U.S. that want to get back to business as usual with the regime.

At the recent meeting with Chinese communist leaders, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. has “deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang [an area of Uyghur unrest], Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber-attacks on the United States, and economic coercion toward our allies. Each of these actions threatens the rules-based order that maintains global stability.”

As if this list wasn’t bad enough, Blinken didn’t say one word about the China virus and the Wuhan lab. (Blinken accepted Chinese money when he ran the “Biden Center” at the University of Pennsylvania.)

Take the vaccine or not and then accept the consequences. But don’t lose sight of the fact that the fingerprints of the Communist regime are all over this virus and the corpses around the world that are piling up because of it.
