The Virus Response is Wrecking China’s Economic Prospects

Why do we fear China? Economic growth is hands down the greatest foe that death, disease, and sickness have ever known. If something might threaten to kill us or hospitalize us, prosperity is the only response. Politicians always and everywhere constrained by the known can't possibly "orchestrate" prosperity when it's remembered that the latter is a consequence of intrepid entrepreneurial leaps made by creative minds into a commercial future that by its very description is unknown. https://brownstone.org/articles/the-virus-response-is-wrecking-chinas-economic-prospects/

Democratic-led House passes bill to avoid railroad strike

  The Democratic-led House passed a bill on Wednesday to avoid a national railroad strike in a bipartisan vote of 290-137 The bill that passed is aimed at addressing the "unresolved disputes between certain railroads represented by the National Carriers' Conference Committee of the National Railway Labor Conference and certain of their employees." https://justthenews.com/government/congress/democratic-led-house-passes-bill-avoid-railroad-strike

Biden's Spending Spree Is Unprecedented

  Biden’s Spending Binge President Biden has dramatically accelerated federal spending during his time in office, spending more in his first two years than President Trump did during his last two years at the height of the pandemic. Biden has overseen significant pandemic-related relief, but he also has ramped up spending on priorities well beyond COVID-19 In addition, Biden has taken numerous, expensive executive actions that make his impact on the federal budget even greater than official numbers indicate Biden continues to carry on one of Trump's worst legacies as inflation remains high The bipartisan infrastructure bill will spend nearly $200 billion more than the ARRA and has been championed as a compromise-and the bill is not even the most expensive one passed during Biden's first two years. It seems that the Biden administration is determined to prove that deficits don't matter, and when it comes to media and public accountability, this may be the case. https://reaso...

Rail Strike Would Aid Joe Biden’s War on Coal

Remember that rail strike that President Biden saved us all from just in the nick of time - right before the November elections? Biden announced a deal between rail companies and union negotiators that staved off a "real economic crisis." Hardly mentioned during the hoop-la over the "deal" in which rail workers won a 24-percent wage increase over a 5-year period (dating back to 2020), as well as an average $11,000 immediate payout. The Association of American Railroads quietly added that "the deal is tentative" and subject to ratification by union members. Four of twelve freight rail unions have voted against the Biden deal Congress has the power to order the rail workers back on the job Shutting down freight rail would cause an abrupt halt to 70% of the coal that today fuels power plants, factories, and electric vehicles Railroads also move about 40% of intercity freight - food products, animal feed, chemicals, automobiles, and other consumer products for...

White House Defends Chinese COVID Protesters After Attacking Americans, Canadians

  The White House is offering tepid support for protesters in China who are speaking out against Beijing's draconian "zero-COVID" lockdown policies White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday that "we've been very clear people have a right to protest without fear." It's quite a change from the vile, often vicious attacks the White House leveled against Americans who opposed draconian COVID policies.

Schumer, Architect of the Most Fraud-Ridden Immigration Program in U.S. History, May Do It Again

  The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Senators Michael Bennet and Mike Crapo are attempting to put together an amnesty for illegal alien farmworkers that can pass both the Senate and House in the lame duck session and get enacted into law before Republicans take control of the House in January. Congress has not pulled this off since 1986 The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986's (IRCA) "special agricultural worker" amnesty program provided temporary and later permanent legal status for aliens who had performed seasonal agricultural work in the U.S. for at least 90 days during the 12 months ending on May 1, 1986 The area that I particularly labored in [was to] come up with a compromise on agriculture. The sticking point [for IRCA] proved to be the farm worker program. Labor-connected Democrats insisted that foreign guest-workers would have an adverse impact on the wages and working conditions of domestic workers. Schumer was also up-front about the fact that h...

Corporate America Is An Active Collaborator With China's Murderous Police State

 Why did Apple disable that feature in China? Well, because that feature, permanent AirDrop, allows iPhone users to communicate directly with one another without using the internet or cellular networks - both of which in a totalitarian state like China, are controlled by the government and that means that without permanent AirDrop, it's effectively impossible for freedom-minded citizens to organize with one another. Apple, of course, knows this and that's why when iPhone users in China began using permanent AirDrop to complain about the Communist Party, Apple just shut it down. Apple's decision to side with the oppressors over the oppressed, Apple's decision to actively help America's enemies, to hurt ordinary people seeking freedom, just wasn't news in the view of The New York Times - not that you should be surprised by it. The biggest company in the world banning a video-sharing website, reaching half the country because people might search for accurate inform...

Worldwide COVID-19 Religious Restrictions

  It's not too late to stop being a tool of oppression Death rates are still above normal in many countries of the world. The medical experts don't know why. Due to the nature of coronaviruses, these limitations of Covid vaccinations were widely predicted by experts even in 2020, but they were ignored or vilified at the time The next key scientific issue to understand is that mass vaccination against Covid has likely caused a situation where those people who are more vulnerable to Covid are now less protected from their previous vaccinations For some vaccinations and diseases, mass vaccinations can drive viral evolution so that the virus evades the vaccines Vaccination-induced evolutionary pressure leads to a phenomenon called "vaccine escape" Key Findings The report cites many, many cases where governments and organizations blamed religious groups for the spread of COVID-19. This was done without scientific data or evidence to back up these claims. Authorities in nea...

New Emails Chronicle Lab-Leak Coverup in Real Time

  There has been renewed interest in the origins of Covid and the lab-leak theory this week following the release of further emails between senior US Government health official Dr. Anthony Fauci and others as they conspired in early February 2020 to counter the theory and suppress it. The emails confirm that those involved were not aware prior to late January that the virus was likely to be of lab origin Among other things, they confirm that the author(s) did not receive cover-up instructions from the FBI or MI5 Where did the idea come from? The aim of the discussion was to challenge a "certain theory" This is understood by the others to be the linking of the virus to HIV as found in a January 2020 pre-print Drosten's questions are quickly answered by other group members This has nothing whatsoever to do with HIV nonsense. Ever since this outbreak started there have been suggestions that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab, if only because of the coincidence of where the...

Investigation finds Europe’s Excess Covid Deaths were not caused by the Virus but instead due to Criminal Healthcare

  Evidence to support the Fragile Healthcare Hypotheses Historically, mortality follows distinct but consistent patterns in Europe, leading to the categorisation of countries into groups in line with the findings of Hope-Simpson For the three main groups, excess mortality in spring 2020 does not follow the same patterns, suggesting that the course of the virus was not the cause of the excess mortality Reorganizing the countries according to the Covid-era excess mortality reveals a geographical clustering that is not consistent with climactic factors There is a relationship between excess deaths and "Covid" deaths, and there appears to be a strong negative correlation between Covid deaths and levels of vaccination But there is no relationship between deaths in the post-vax era and vaccine levels Thus, at best, Covid lives saved are offset by non-covid deaths caused Conclusion Preliminary conclusions: Excess Covid deaths were not caused by the virus which is seasonal and not mi...

Apple Helps Chinese Communists Suppress Protests – Removes Crucial Tool of Dissent on iPhones and Does Not Tell Mainland Users

  AirDrop, a file-sharing feature on iPhones that allows users to share content in authoritarian states, has been removed in China due to China’s authoritarian government. Apple removed the feature in their latest update in China and did not notify users. Apple helped the Chinese Communists this month suppress the mass protests against the regime Apple is working with the communists now Anti-government protests flared in several Chinese cities and on college campuses over the weekend. But the country’s most widespread show of public dissent in decades will have to manage without a crucial communication tool, because Apple restricted its use in China earlier this month. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/pure-evil-apple-helps-chinese-communists-suppress-protests-removes-crucial-tool-dissent-iphones-not-tell-mainland-users/

World Looks Away as Chinese Communist Regime Sends in Tanks to Xuzhou to Quash Democracy Protests

  After several days of protests against the regime's brutal COVID quarantine policies, the Chinese regime sent tanks into Xuzhou City on Monday. Several military tanks have rolled through the streets of China as Beijing ramped up its crackdown against demonstrators who are protesting against President Xi Jinping's disastrous zero-Covid policy. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/echoes-tiananmen-square-world-looks-away-chinese-communist-regime-sends-tanks-xuzhou-quash-democracy-protests-video/

‘Negative Efficacy’ Should Have Stopped COVID Vaccine Recommendations in Their Tracks

  COVID boosters do not make a significant difference in protection, especially in terms of protection against reinfection. In fact, the latest data shows vaccine efficacy against the coronavirus tends to drop into the negatives after just a few months. Recently, various health agencies around the world have approved and are actively pushing for another COVID booster shot, meant to enhance the vaccine efficacy. What Does Negative Efficacy Mean? When a vaccine's efficacy drops into the negatives, it means that vaccination actually elevates the risks of hospitalization and severe diseases rather than reducing the risks. It does more harm than good when the efficacy is negative. When a product shows negative efficacy, it should be banned. Trying to Outrun Nature Data shows that the vaccine used to be around 90 percent effective for weeks on end after vaccination. After Omicron came along, infection prevention dropped to less than 50 percent after about a month after two shots and dive...
