A LETTER TO MY ATTORNEY FRIEND WHO I CONSULTED ABOUT LEGAL STRATEGIES TO GET REPURPOSED DRUGS TO COVID PATIENTS

Dear John,

I hope things with you and the kids are good. Our Zoom meeting with my COVID expert friend and your associates in your law firm 6 months ago was very interesting. He explained the fraud going on multiple fronts that is going on and the failure of the press to report it in large part due to the Trusted News Initiative. It has very likely resulted in millions of unnecessary deaths worldwide, innumerable unnecessary hospitalizations, untold economic damage and led to governments instituting insane lockdown policies and mandatory vaccination.

I’m sorry you didn’t feel there was a strategy you could pursue at that time. You seemed most interested in liability for the hospitals who denied ivermectin to patients who subsequently died.  There will be strong legal strategies in the future. I have now written eight (8) articles on repurposed drugs for Trialsite News plus serve on the advisory committee.Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “Coronavirus” ChannelNo spam – we promise

Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone and several others could be expert witnesses for you in the future if they feel there is a strong case. Dr. Malone, a key early pioneer involved with the emergence of mRNA technology, served as a respectable virologist and government drug development insider. Today he led  a group in Washington to fight for truth and medical freedom. He has 17,000 physicians and researchers who have signed a petition.

Hospital systems continue to refuse to give patients ivermectin when families request it. The patients who win in court usually live. Those who lose in court almost always die. I doubt that there will ever be a large enough study to prove that treating that type of patient with ivermectin works but other data exists as to its benefit as in Uttar Pradesh, India, 240 million where ivermectin has crushed COVID and Brazil where in a town of 223,000, 160,000 were randomized to ivermectin prevention or no treatment. Those who got a low dose of ivermectin about 4 times a month were 44% less likely to get infected, 56% less likely to be hospitalized and 70% less likely to die. The unvaccinated could certainly be helped by ivermectin prevention. Unfortunately, data like this, called observational data, is discounted by those in power in favor of randomized trial data which is at the mercy of the biases of those conducting the studies.

There are four large, randomized trials of ivermectin, all of which gave or are giving one third or less of the proper dose of ivermectin for early treatment of the delta variant. The results of the Together Trial were announced 8/6 as showing “absolutely no benefit” but the actual data showed a borderline statistically significant 9% decrease in admissions and 18% decrease in mortality.

Dr. Edward Mills, affiliated with a program that has received some Bill Gates funding, ran that trial. NIH chose not to study ivermectin until their ACTIV-6 trial started enrolling patients the same time as the Together results were announced.  They decided to go ahead and give patients a lower dose than in Together where ivermectin showed borderline results. By then we had 80% delta. Dr. Pierre Kory found out that delta needed a much higher dose of ivermectin and put it on the FLCCC Alliance website. I made the ACTIV-6 principal investigator and others involved aware of their dosing snafu on 10/18. My email was acknowledged by NIAID deputy director Dr. Cliff Lane who said it would be addressed by the appropriate people. There was a rumor that they considered adding a new arm with appropriate dosing, but they did nothing.

ACTIV-6’s ivermectin data should be ready in about 2 months. Should ivermectin show no benefit they may or may not publicly admit that it was underdosed and it needs a new trial. If they don’t acknowledge it, someone will call out NIH for randomizing patients to placebo or a dose they knew was unlikely to work then doing nothing when they were made aware of their dosing error. An unacceptable ethical failing. I don’t think the principal investigator, Dr. Susanna Naggie from Duke, wants her career ruined.

Meanwhile the COVID-OUT data will come out very soon. They were 3 months into their trial when Together was announced and 5 months into it and 75% subscribed before they knew of the new FLCCC recommendations. They had no more money, something ACTIV-6 can’t claim. Many patients in Brazil in Together had a nasty gamma variant and ivermectin was sold over the counter there so their trial could turn out positive despite using a similar dose. COVID-OUT has alpha, delta, and omicron patients. First, I hope that their study will show positive results. Next, I hope they will admit that the study was underdosed for delta and that patients probably would have done better with a higher dose. It will be interesting what NIH will do if their study is positive. An EUA is unlikely.

I doubt hospital systems will be vulnerable as their position is that the FDA recommends against ivermectin. Despite there being no evidence of toxicity and hospitals not having restricted doctors choices previously, it will be hard to win. Even if you prove the FDA was wrong, you will have to prove that the hospitals  should have known the FDA was wrong. Hospitals have greatly benefitted from COVID financially. They are paid extra for the patients, extra if the patients die and extra for giving them remdesivir which is a lousy drug. They have a financial disincentive to see early treatment instituted widely which would decrease hospitalizations and have used their clout to punish those physicians who speak out against mandates and suppression of early therapies. ENT doctor Mary Bowden was suspended by Houston Methodist for publicly speaking out against vaccine mandates and giving  her 2000 COVID patients successful early treatment. She is suing them to among other things find out about their finances during COVID.   

A better target is pharmacists who will not stock or sell ivermectin. The few who do sell it charge exorbitant prices. They know there is no data showing that pharmacists selling ivermectin have toxicity. They will claim that the FDA recommends against it, and they are doing it to protect the public. These are the same guys who sold as much oxycontin as they could get. They stopped selling  ivermectin because of their fear of the FDA. If ivermectin shows benefit in COVID-OUT they have no leg to stand on. If they still fail to stock and sell it, they will be a target for you. I will keep you informed.

The Wall Street Journal did an article 12/28 in which it chastised the government for not getting fluvoxamine to the public. It’s a generic SSRI. In the Together Trial, the results of which were announced 8/6 and published in The Lancet Global Health 10/27, in 1497 patients, in those who finished the trial, it lowered admissions 32% and deaths 91%. In addition, the sponsor, Steve Kirsch, reported that no one treated with it gets long COVID which is about 20% of those infected.

NIH says the data is insufficient to use a $1 a day drug with 30 years of safety data. Meanwhile Merck’s molnupiravir which may be dangerous and had similar data got emergency use authorization. Dr. Boulware who has done a video for TrialSite News on repurposed drugs, filed an emergency use application for fluvoxamine 12/21 which the FDA which has ignored,

He is running COVID-OUT testing ivermectin and fluvoxamine. Tom Avril of the Philadelphia Inquirer at my request did an article on fluvoxamine Friday.  I’m hoping  Tom will be doing more articles about repurposed drugs. Many newspapers declined to report on it even though it would have helped a lot of people, especially the unvaccinated.

The next drug to go public will be famotidine (Pepcid). A 56 patient randomized trial of famotidine 80 mg 3 times a day vs. placebo will be published in a major journal very soon showing great benefit. There was plenty of reason for NIH to have sponsored a large trial over a year ago. Famotidine blocks H2 receptors on mast cells which normally cause allergies by releasing histamine. The president and head of research for the big allergy/immunology group, AAAAI, 7000 allergists, were very excited about it. They sent my email to the coronavirus task force. 3 weeks later they suddenly turned cold and did nothing. I suspect the worst.

At some point we will have the data to support a claim that the government intentionally unreasonably failed to give emergency use authorization to fluvoxamine, failed to study then sabotaged the study of famotidine and failed to study ivermectin until August 2021 then did everything possible to sabotage it. The government appeared to have sabotaged hydroxychloroquine, but it will be harder to prove. The reason for the government’s actions is because the success of repurposed drugs would have increased vaccine hesitancy and possibly make vaccines unnecessary. Around the world where vaccines are unavailable, repurposed drugs would have made a tremendous difference. Getting damages from the government will be difficult but it could be a fee for service or even a pro bono case for the benefit of COVID infected people all over the world.

The people I deal with only care about getting proper treatment for patients. A bonus would be to get rid of Fauci and assorted dangerous bureaucrats that say they’re pro-public health, yet their behavior indicates something altogether to the contrary.  The public strongly disapproves of the vaccine mandates and associated haphazard public health by bureaucratic impulse,  but Fauci’s irrational exuberance for his own top-down, hubris-driven program will crush the Democrats for many years when it’s exposed.

The press and social media have conspired with the government and drug companies, culminating in the Trusted News Initiative, to censor information different from the party line.  I would think as attorneys you would find the suppression of information by those in power that would greatly decrease tremendous human suffering would be reprehensible and you would want to fight against it.

Think carefully about the true risk-benefit analysis associated with vaccination prior to subjecting your children to the regimen. The risk from COVID for healthy children is very low. Their risk from the vaccine appears to be higher.  That’s why in the Nordic nations for example holds were placed on the Moderna vaccine for young people under 30.

While industry and public health authorities deny this reality, I put forth here that vaccines spread through your body and induce one’s cells to produce spike protein which is not the same as the one the virus has. The spike protein is toxic. So are the lipid nanoparticles used to deliver it. Insurance companies are reporting a 40% increase in all-cause mortality in 2021 for those 18-64 years old. One in 2700 young men is reported to get myocarditis which can shorten their life.  I suspect that if a troponin blood test were done on every patient, that number would be a lot higher.

There have been hundreds of young athletes who died suddenly, far more than in the past. I’m sure the increase in all-cause mortality is multifactorial but I believe that sooner or later some of it will be attributed directly  to the vaccines. 79,000 people in Australia have sued the government for damage from the vaccines. Unfortunately, vaccine makers are indemnified in America, but their executives could face criminal prosecution in the future.

The CDC has said that vaccine induced immunity was better than immunity from natural infection, but most data suggests the opposite. Wednesday the CDC admitted that since the delta variant, natural immunity is significantly better. The mandates which include mandating vaccination of the 50% of the country previously infected whose immunity is better than those who are vaccinated are absurd. The NIH/Biden logic is that if 100% of the country is vaccinated. we will have herd immunity. It is true that if 100% were vaccinated, fewer would be in the hospital and the vaccinated would be less likely to be infected by the unvaccinated but with these vaccines, the vaccinated people will always spread the virus to each other.

The Biden/NIH logic further goes that the only way to make sure that there is no one left unvaccinated is to vaccinate everyone whether they need it or not. Asking people for proof of previous infection has not been considered.  Vaccines have toxicity as evidenced, despite denials by the government,  by the 900,000 reports on VAERS, the vaccine adverse event reporting system which is a gross underestimate of the problems caused by the vaccines. Many people who have had COVID fret that exposure to the vaccine only gives them risk and not surprisingly resist.  Drug companies and the government are pushing the idea of needing a new shot every 3-4 months for life. It’s not working in Israel. No one has any idea what problems lifelong shots would cause.   After All this has never been studied. What happened to the Declaration of Helsinki and good clinical practices?

I just watched Alex Witt and a guest on MSNBC covering Stop the Mandates in Washington DC. I hate Trump and love MSNBC during the election but every word they said today was false. She knows no science and sounds like a Fauci/Biden/ lobbyist. Her expert sounded like he worked for Pfizer. CNN wasn’t as bad but said the rally was about people who don’t trust the government. I’m not sure the press will ever tell people the truth about repurposed drugs even if it is conclusively shown that the government healthcare agencies deliberately tanked repurposed drugs that would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. I know your law firm has mostly Democrats. I hope that if I come to you with a strong, profitable case that will benefit COVID patients but hurt those that have seemingly conspired to thwart economically repurposed drugs at every turn, your law firm will be willing to take it on.  Life is too short not to do the right thing.

Biden Withdraws Vaccine Mandate & the Collapse of the Rule of Law


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Jan 26, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

This is what is WRONG with our rule of law. The Supreme Court held before that the Constitution is NEGATIVE, not positive back in 1980. But that ruling has been largely ignored. In addition, the Supreme Court has held that there is a limitation to the Judicial Power that there must be a “case or controversy” according to Article III. That interpretation is what is destroying the United States. Biden and Congress can may any damn law they want. They can literally decree that you must kill your firstborn on an altar before the White House and pray to Schwab, Gates, and Soros when you make that sacrifice. Nobody would have “standing” to run to the Supreme Court to say this is unconstitutional and completely nuts.

The ONLY person who would have “standing” to challenge this crazy decree is someone they try to prosecute for not sacrificing their firstborn. Therein lies our demise of the United States. They get to do whatever they want. It is our obligation to take them to court and say this is unconstitutional. In the meantime, they inflict all kinds of chaos and harm and this is why the United States is doomed.

Here is the Fifth Amendment. It is drafted in a NEGATIVE context that “no person shall be held” yet if you speak, they immediately claim you waived your right to remain silent but it is NOT YOUR RIGHT, it is a restraint upon the power of government.

To all the lawyers who read this blog, this is why I did not wish to join your field. I probably would have spent my life in prison on criminal contempt because I would have rebelled constantly. You cannot CONSTRUCTIVE AMEND the Constitution by waiving a pretend right you do not have bestowing power of a ruthless tyrant upon the government. That defeats even Equal Protection of the Law for if someone remains silent and someone who speaks, so the government must respect the liberty of the first but not the second.

Biden had no authority under the Constitution whatsoever to order OSHA to mandate vaccines. Some people cannot even take a flu shot for they get violently sick with any vaccine. Do they have no right to the freedom of their own person? Where in the Constitution is NEGATIVE does the government have any POSITIVE power to wipe out any individual’s liberty? They have the power to regulate commerce – not health!

The first legal interpretation of the scope of the Commerce Clause came down from the Supreme Court in 1824 in the case of Gibbons v. Ogden. That was the first major expansion of the powers of the federal government. The Court held that Congress could use the Commerce Clause to enact laws regulating both interstate and intrastate trade. This was then followed by the 1905 ruling in Swift and Company v. United States, where the Court held that Congress could apply the Commerce Clause in regulating the practices of local businesses—intrastate commerce—ONLY if those local business practices were in some way a part of a “current” or stream of commerce that also involved the movement of goods between states. That did not have anything to do with the health of its employees.Then in 1937, the ruling in NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp, broadened the reach of the Commerce Clause holding that any local business activity could be defined as “commerce” as long as it had or was likely to have a “substantial economic effect” on interstate commerce. This interpretation was done for the Roosevelt socialist agenda where Congress gained the power to enact laws that even regulated local firearms dealers for they were concerned about revolution and civil unrest. As long as the guns were manufactured outside of the state where the business operated then it was involving interstate commerce.Congress used this Socialist interpretation to seize power over virtually everything. Not until 1995 did the Court finally narrow that wild interpretation of commerce with its ruling in the case of United States v. Lopez. In that decision, the Court struck down parts of the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, finding that the act of possessing a firearm is not an economic activity.Getting the flu or any disease is also NOT economic activity. My view of Biden’s attempt to mandate vaccines was totally unconstitutional. The power of government is defined in Article I. Here we have the express powers granted. Congress does not have the power to create laws that are outside of these restraints upon power.WHEN will someone challenge this casual execution of the Constitution where people truly have no rights, it is the government that has no such claimed powers. The First Amendment was violated by every governor who used COVID to shut down churches. It expressly states:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.There is no exception to the First Amendment. Big Tech claims they are not the government so they can regulate our right to speak. Sorry, but they obtain a license to be in business, and as such, they cannot operate without that authority as such paying lobby fees links them to the government and they are acting under the Color of Law and this is sanctioned by the government to deny our free speech. “Congress shall mar no law” also means they cannot grant them immunity.The passage of the Constitution was NOT unanimous. Only 39 delegated voted for it out of 70 so it passed on a bare majority vote. They voted against it, including Patrick Henry, because there was no Bill of Rights. I do not believe that the United States will survive for the rule of law is collapsing. The Biden administration is doing whatever they want, and hopes they get it through with the Supreme Court cowering in fear of their attempt at stacking the Court to rule only in their favor. That will be the end of the United States!

50,000 Truckers Protesting in Canada


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Jan 26, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1: The truckers should prevent all food deliveries to the capital. Starve them out!

anonymous

COMMENT #2: This could end up being the single most important Canadian demonstration in support of individual liberty. The repeated attempts by the MSM (and slime balls like Gerald Butts) is proof the elitist morons are very worried about this populist uprising. And of course, Erin O’Toole is hiding under his bed, afraid to stand up for anything that actually matters.

AR

COMMENT #3: This is Freedom Convoy 2022. You may be shocked by Biden’s collapse in approval, but he is still highs than Trudeau here in Canada.

HS

REPLY: This is impressive. Trudeau and Biden are merely following the directives of the Agenda 2030 which has been orchestrated by Schwab and his World Economic Forum. The sad reality is that we have to fight for our freedom in a land that claims to be free.

The Tonga eruption & Volcanic Winter?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Agriculture Re-Posted Jan 26, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The explosive eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano was massive. It would have covered much of California engulfing from San Francisco down to Los Angeles. They are still trying to figure out how big this event was yet it was certainly one of the largest to have taken place in modern times. The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is measured from 1 to 8. Pinatubo, which is considered similar to the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai eruption, scored a 6 on the index. However, Pinatubo produced an eruption column of gas and ash that rose 40 km into the atmosphere, whereas this Tongan eruption was at least 20 km high.

Such events can cause what is known as a Volcanic Winter by the ash blocking the sun. That is what has taken place many times throughout recorded history. They called the year 1816 – the year without a summer. This  19th-century disaster, played out during 1816 when the weather in Europe and North America entered a volcanic winter with widespread crop failures resulting in famine followed by plague. The dust from the eruption of Mount Tambora, which had erupted in early April 1815, had shrouded the entire globe blocking the sunlight. This sent the world into darkness and 1816 did not have a normal summer. It even snowed in New York City during July.

The ash cloud of Tambora also affected the sky not just during the day but also caused the moon to be hazy and dark in appearance. In John Crome’s Moonrise on the Yare (c.1811–6) the moon is visible through the clouds just behind the buildings in the middle of the painting but barely. In the bottom left corner, we see a person working on a small boat in darkness.

It was about one year before the effects were actually felt. The weather in 1816 saw spring arrive as usual. Then as summer was to begin, cold temperatures returned. There were places where the sky appeared permanently dark and overcast. Crops failed due to the lack of sunlight and food shortages were reported in the United States, and throughout Europe. There was a feeling of doom that the world was coming to an end.

The Year Without a Summer also inspired Mary Shelley who was just 18 when she dreamed up her story of a “pale student of unhallowed arts” and the “hideous phantasm of a man” he created. She was a friend of the author Lord Byron who challenged her to write a ghost story. Her seminal classic of gothic horror, Frankenstein, was inspired during this period. Her first edition was one of 500 copies of this novel printed in 1818. Today, they are worth probably $1.5 million+.

It took more than a century before anyone really understood the reason for the Year without a Summer that it was a volcanic winter caused by the eruption of an enormous volcano on a remote island in the Indian Ocean. But what is significant here is that it took nearly one year for the ash to blank the globe. It was not instantaneous. Here, the blast was huge and it was visible from space. So we may not know about any possible Volcanic Winter for up to one year. When we look at our Food Index, note that the volatility began here in 2022 and will continue to rise into 2024. The mismanagement of Biden and this COVID agenda which has disrupted the supply chain combined with Bill Gates becoming now the largest farmland owner in the USA intent on disrupting the food supply further with his synthetic beef for climate change, throw in volcanic winter and the risk of war, and prices could rise further as supply shrinks.

We can see that Wheat jumped 350% during World War I from 1914 into 1919. Here we have the convergence of deliberate disruption of the food supply to further Gates’ vision of eliminating beef production, the advent of potential global war, and the serious risk of a Volcanic Winter especially if we get yet another massive eruption.

Latest Durham Filing Indicates DOJ Office of Inspector General Is Part of DC Coverup Operation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 25, 2022 | Sundance | 178 Comments

Look carefully at this tweet from Catherine Herridge at CBS.  Notice anything?

Emphasis mine:

“#Durham filing reveals his team learned for first time, this month, the Office of the Inspector General had TWO cellphones for former FBI General Counsel who is central witness in Sussmann case, “the Government has been working diligently to review their contents.””

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has known about the Durham probe of Michael Sussmann for how long?  And specifically, the criminal case against Sussmann revolved around the central witness, the point of contact with former FBI General Counsel, Jim Baker.  Yet the OIG said nothing to John Durham about their possession of Baker’s phones until this month?

Think about what that tells us?

TechnoFog has more details about the latest court filing SEE HERE.  He also notes the issue of the Durham team only recently being notified by the OIG in January:

…”There is also a curious paragraph discussing the fact that Durham, in January 2022 – learned from the DOJ Inspector General that they possessed “two FBI cellphones of the former FBI General Counsel to whom the defendant made his alleged false statement, along with forensic reports analyzing those cellphones.” Durham’s team is going through those cell phones now to analyze their contents.

And there will be more, with Durham stating, “the Government expects to receive additional information and documents in the coming weeks that may be relevant to the charged conduct.” (read more)

Techno has a great perspective and is always a great source for interpretation of the legal filings.  However, I would draw attention to the obvious question about the internal policing unit of the DOJ, the Office of Inspector General, not notifying the special counsel of the evidence in their possession.

It’s likely, from the information inside the current and previous filings, that sometime in the interviews with James Baker (a friend of the Lawfare alliance consisting of Ben Wittes, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe), the former FBI special counsel noted he turned over his phones to the OIG, most likely as an outcome of the previous OIG investigation into the political weaponization of the FBI in the OIG FISA application investigation around Carter Page.

Baker telling Durham he gave his phones to the OIG, likely led to Durham asking DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz about them.  The OIG then recently admitting they had them…. as evidence… and so, here they are.

However, on its face the OIG not informing the Durham probe about them previously confirms what we previously outlined about how the information silos are used to contain and control information adverse to the interests of the DC system, writ large.  Compartmentalization is how the corrupt enterprises of the Fourth Branch of Government, in this instance the DOJ, can bury information.  It’s a feature, not a flaw.

Why didn’t you tell us you had the murder weapon?  Well, you didn’t ask… and so it goes.

Keep in mind who is playing this game of hide the pea in the institution of Main Justice we are talking about.

The OIG is the internal watchdog, the internal police of the federal police apparatus.  The guys who are supposed to be holding the justice system to account are the same guys who are keeping the justice system from accountability.

Chew on that for a few minutes while you contemplate all the previous OIG reports that resulted in exactly nothing, despite – or actually as a feature of their carefully worded content.

Yes, that would put the main office in charge of official justice obfuscation and damage control squarely in the hands of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz.  Does that make all those OIG reports shade a slightly different, perhaps darker color grey?

Factually, the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was always a complete ruse perpetrated upon the American people, with the intended objective to stop candidate Trump, then hamstring President Trump, then cover up what they were doing to accomplish those goals, and then finally destroy the Trump presidency.   Y’all know the story, I am not repeating it.

However, all of these tentacles of intrigue and rabbit hole exploration can get so intentionally complex that people lose sight of the bigger picture.  The current question should be ‘why didn’t the DOJ-OIG inform Durham of the evidence they carried’?

Unfortunately, when you start asking those types of questions, you start to get too close to the heart of the issue.  The entire apparatus of the U.S. Dept of Justice and the FBI are corrupt.   As to the bigger question: will the Durham probe finally outline all the evidence to prove all the years of deception and fraud perpetrated by the massive aligned system of corrupt government?  My short and painful answer is, NO.

The longer answer is attached to the one issue that all researched opinions and analytical theories never touch. The 800lb gorilla in the room that no one will put into their accountability prism, because it blocks all other sunlight:

If Durham was going to reveal the scale of corruption within these institutions, ie. what optimistic folks proclaim as possible; how is Durham going to handle the reality that Robert Mueller’s entire existence was in place to hide it?

The DOJ and FBI are corrupt and weaponized divisions of a corrupt system of U.S. government.  The OIG providing willfully blind cover for the corruption within the institutions they are supposed to police is simply more evidence of the rot within them.

These institutions are being maintained in their current form by everyone in DC pretending not to know things – including John Durham.

Do we really think the same DOJ that facilitated, then defended, the targeting of parents at school board meetings would allow Durham to exist if he was a risk to their institution?

Or is it more likely that Bill Barr was the Bondo, and John Durham is the spray paint?

You decide.

Jim Cooper Becomes 29th House Democrat Who Will Not Attempt Reelection Bid


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 25, 2022 | Sundance | 251 Comments

Tennesse Democrat Jim Cooper (Nashville) becomes the 29th Democrat to announce he will not seek reelection (link).  “Today I am announcing that I will not run for reelection to Congress. After 32 years in office, I will be leaving Congress next year.”

Jim Cooper was first elected to the House in 1990 and was going to have a redistricting battle.  Several blue states (CA, NY, IL) are losing congressional seats due to population losses, while red states are gaining congressional districts due to population growth.  The great ideological cleaving between Democrat communists and middle class Americans continues.

The Washington Times is reporting that leadership in the Democrat party is pleading with house members not to leave.  However, with a looming electoral backlash on the horizon, the pleas are falling on deaf ears.  Polling indicates there is a major storm on the horizon for Democrats, as their ideological thirst for power is transparent {link} and being rejected. Every single policy the Biden administration touches creates a crap storm of anxiety for the ‘Main Street’ American worker.

Even the New York Times has gone from panic to ‘shock’: “The numbers are even worse for Democrats in the eight states expected to have the closest Senate elections, according to Langer — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Not only is Biden’s overall job approval rating in those states 33 percent, 10 points lower than it is in the rest of the country, but registered voters in those eight states say they are more likely to vote for Republican House candidates than for Democrats by 23 points (at 58 percent to 35 percent).

There are now 29 House Communists (ie Democrats) officially jumping ship and announcing they will not attempt re-election {link}.  There will likely be more before the primary races begin.

Additionally, Nancy Pelosi will never return to the minority leadership role.  No way, not after the groundwork Pelosi has established in the last two congressional sessions.

The backlash against Pelosi and her manipulative rule changes *should* allow for an “anything goes” approach from MAGA-angry wolverine Republicans and Independents.  The 2022 overall campaign slogan should be: No Mercy, Ever!

However, asking the right wing of the UniParty vulture to represent their voting base has historically been an exercise in futility.  If 2022 brings new majorities to the House or Senate, former Republican leadership will need to be removed if Middle America is to achieve results.

In the interim, the first step is to crush the communist wing.  CTH has often said, Democrats must not be beaten – they must be destroyed.

Arguing with a political leftist in the hope they can be convinced to change direction is futile. They are disassociated on a mental and emotional level from any semblance of a capacity to consider they may be wrong. This is why you can never let up in the fight against them. Even in victory, the blue-collar working-class common-sense approach must be relentless. The modern left has to be destroyed on such a scale as their dangerous ideology is reduced to burning embers; however, do not trick yourself into believing it will ever be fully extinguished.

[…] You cannot comply your way out of tyranny any more than you can negotiate your way out of the gallows.   If you are considered the enemy of the modern leftist movement, they will seek your destruction.  The only way to fight this adversary is with brutal hand-to-hand combat where you never, ever, concede an inch.

For God’s sake, if you need a reference point, 27% of them are willing to put an untested vaccine into the arms of their children without hesitation to protect against an illness that is non-existent.  Do you really think it’s possible to rationally debate them?

Instead, we meet Obama’s “Yes we can,” or Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better,” with a much stronger and unapologetic “F**k Joe Biden“….

That’s how we defeat the insane communists!

Grind the Communists into pulp – make their lives miserable, and when the media asks why Republicans are being so rough, grind the Communists even harder.   Ridicule anyone who would stand up for them.  Cast the Communist Democrats into a fiery pit of irrelevance and keep pouring toxic lava upon them to keep them from climbing out.

Political Moves, OSHA Removes Worker Vaccine Mandate Rule Effective Tomorrow Claiming It Was Only a Suggestion


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 25, 2022 | Sundance | 162 Comments

Even in a defeat from the United States Supreme Court, the political weasels running the U.S. Dept of Labor cannot reverse their position without lying and obfuscating.

The U.S. Dept of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announces their withdrawal of the employee vaccine mandate that was ruled unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. [pdf HERE]   However, note how they change the prior enforcement order from a “mandate” to a mere suggestion: “strongly encouraging vaccination.”

(pdf link)

The effective date of the reversal is tomorrow, January 26, 2022.  However, in reversing their position notice how OSHA attempts to rewrite history and claim they were only “strongly encouraging vaccination.”

The institutions of our government are corrupt top to bottom with the cancer of metastatic political filth.

The Canadian Government Announce They Will Not Budge on Vaccine Mandate for Truckers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 25, 2022 | Sundance | 414 Comments

Despite a request from Wall Street multinational business groups impacted by the threat from the truckers, the administration of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced they will not relent in their effort to force vaccinations on unwilling truck drivers.

According to Canadian media, the efforts of the insignificant proles behind the big rig steering wheels are easily dispatched annoyances when contrast against the unlimited power of the federal government.

The truck drivers will kneel before the mighty power of the administrative state, or the truckers will be ignored; it matters not.  The families of Canadian politicians can have their goods delivered from anywhere with taxpayer funds. The empty stores and supply chain disruptions will not be permitted to affect the powdered class.

CANADA – The federal government says it will not back down on its vaccination rule for cross-border truckers despite entrenched opposition from some drivers and groups claiming to represent their interests.

In a joint media statement released today, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan, Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough and Stephen Laskowski, the president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), said COVID-19 vaccines are the “most effective tool to reduce the risk of COVID-19” and protect public health.

In an interview with CBC’s Power & Politics, Alghabra said the government is not interested in alternatives like rapid testing for unvaccinated truckers. He said truckers and the wider industry have had months to prepare for the new regulations and drivers must now get the shot or stop driving over the border. (read more)

Meanwhile the GoFundMe effort to support the trucker pushback against government has now reached $4.7 million.

Updates on the travel and details are AVAILABLE HERE.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Responds to Biden Administration Effort to Block COVID Treatments and Kill Floridians


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 25, 2022 | Sundance | 516 Comments

Earlier today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to the Biden administration’s political effort to stop Floridians from receiving COVID-19 treatment. [Press Release Here] …”the appointments for more than 2,000 Floridians to receive this treatment were canceled on January 25, 2022, alone”…

Late yesterday evening, without notice, the Biden FDA blocked monoclonal antibody treatments by revoking the emergency use authorization for the therapeutic.  Today thousands of Floridians wake up to hear they are no longer eligible for treatment.  Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is furious.  WATCH:

FLORIDA – Governor Ron DeSantis is demanding the Biden Administration reverse its sudden and reckless decision to revoke emergency use authorization (EUA) for Regeneron and Eli Lilly monoclonal antibody treatments. This abrupt and unilateral action by the Biden Administration will prevent access to lifesaving treatments for Floridians and Americans.

“Without a shred of clinical data to support this action, Biden has forced trained medical professionals to choose between treating their patients or breaking the law,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “This indefensible edict takes treatment out of the hands of medical professionals and will cost some Americans their lives. There are real-world implications to Biden’s medical authoritarianism – Americans’ access to treatments is now subject to the whims of a failing president.”

“Rather than giving Americans the option for various COVID treatments, the FDA and the Biden Administration issued their royal decree, taking away the very thing that is proven to reduce hospitalizations and save lives,” said Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez. “Monoclonal antibody treatments like Regeneron have had a positive impact for thousands of Floridians. For the CDC and FDA, which have been consistently inconsistent throughout the entire pandemic, to restrict treatment does nothing but put individuals at risk.”

“In our field of medicine, when someone comes to you seeking a treatment that could save their life, it is essential to have treatment options to ensure health care providers can make the best decisions for their patients,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. “The Federal Government has failed to adequately provide the United States with adequate outpatient treatment options for COVID-19. Now, they are scrambling to cover up a failure to deliver on a promise to ‘shut down the virus.’”

As a result of this abrupt and clinically unsupported action, the appointments for more than 2,000 Floridians to receive this treatment were canceled on January 25, 2022, alone. This decision was made solely by Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) without advance warning to states or health providers and without clinical data to support the decision. The deliberate decision by the Biden Administration to make this announcement effective immediately, through a press release, actively prevents states and health care providers from making real-time operational decisions that save lives.

Over the course of the past two years, scientists and researchers across the nation have worked hard to bring us treatments that are both safe and effective. One of these treatments has been monoclonal antibodies. This treatment has saved thousands of lives in Florida and across our nation. (LINK)
