Lukashenko

ANSWER: Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, who is up for re-election in 2025, signed a law in January that grants him lifelong immunity from criminal prosecution. Lukashenko “cannot be held accountable for actions committed in connection with exercising his presidential powers” under the new legislation. Undoubtedly, this law was propelled by America’s persecution of Donald Trump and other world leaders who are not adhering to Western policies.

The war in Ukraine has place Lukashenko under pressure once again due to Belarus aiding neighboring Russia. The nations strategic placement bordering both Ukraine and Russia has made it a strategic stronghold for Russian troops, and more importantly, nuclear weapons. Belarus remained neutral during the 2014 Crimean conflict and attempted to act as a mediator between Ukraine and Russia.

Lukashenko has faced countless controversies during his 30-year reign. The August 2020 Belarusian election sparked massive civil unrest as many of his opponents believed the election was rigged in his favor. Russia aided Belarus during the 2020 political upheaval that saw tens of thousands of protestors arrested. Belarus had fallen out of the West’s good graces long ago, but its COVID response prompted further distain from the Build Back Better, World Economic Forum allied nations. Lukashenko’s government was one of the last to impost restrictions and those restrictions were far more lenient than the guidelines presented by world health agencies.

Most importantly, Belarus did not implement mandatory vaccinations for COVID. Lukashenka was accused of human rights abuses as his nation held the lowest vaccination rate in all of Europe with fewer than 21.2% of the population receiving the mRNA vaccine. The vaccine was available, but people were not threatened or coerced into taking it. Taking it a step further, his administration did not trust the vaccines produced in the West and only offered varieties provided by Russia and China. Lukashenka called the pandemic response a “mass psychosis,” refused to lockdown his people, and suggested holistic methods opposed to the vaccine.

The West has imposed numerous sanctions on Belarus for aiding Russia, but the economic impact has been cushioned by Moscow’s willingness to repay its ally with energy subsidies that exceeded $15 billion in 2022. It is in Belarus’ best interest to remain loyal as two-thirds of all imports and exports are with Russia.

I can discuss the Belarus-Russia alliance in further detail if there is interest. To address the original request, President Lukashenko did, in fact, receive a bribe from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in 2020 to persuade him to impose COVID restrictions. As mentioned in my original post, the president revealed this bribe through the Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA. In exchange for a $940 million bribe, the World Bank and IMF demanded that the president of Belarus:

  • impose “extreme lockdown on his people”
  • force them to wear face masks
  • impose very strict curfews
  • impose a police state
  • crash the economy

These are the president’s own claims. The world health agencies lost legitimacy when Belarusians had a LOWER death rate from COVID-19 than the rest of Europe. Belarus began testing efforts when the technology was available. Those who bought into the psyop refuse to acknowledge that lockdown measures did nothing to stop the spread. People simply do not want to believe that the COVID restrictions were completely unnecessary and only contributed to higher death rates and crippled economies.

Haley win Washington DC which is 98% Democrat – What do You Ecpect

Nikki Haley has finally won none other than the LEFTIST stronghold – Washington, DC. If you get pulled over by a cop there, you may hear that line coming from the new movie Civil War  – What Kind of American Are You?

The Democrats have been funding Haley, and anyone with common sense would end their campaign. So why is Haley going endlessly? Because the word is if the Supreme Court or all the legal cases somehow manage some way to prevent Trump from running or he magically contracts COVID version 35 and dies before November, Haley will take the nomination by default. The Democrats will rejoice along with the Neocons, who will be popping champagne bottles for they will get World War III fully on board.

She has already come out and said she will NOT support Trump if he runs in November. If you have children or grandchildren, their future will be uncertain with Haley as President. Victoria Nuland will rejoice.

The Coming Healthcare Worker Shortage in the US


Posted originally on Mar 4, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Those outside the US believe we have outstanding health care due to the high price tag associated with every service. Healthcare workers have been leaving the field in droves since the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Association of Medical Colleges believes that there will be a shortage of 122,000 physicians, 400,000 home health aides, and 29,400 nurse practitioners by 2025, but that may be an optimistic forecast.

A friend of mine in the area recently needed stitches after an injury and their nearest Urgent Care facility was closed. The second Urgent Care (America’s version of a smaller hospital) had a sign saying that it would not open until late afternoon due to a staffing shortage. The third Urgent Care facility was closed over the weekend, also likely due to staffing shortages. By the time she found the fourth provider, the wait was multiple hours due to only one physician being on staff that day.

StaffingIssues

These essential care employees are overworked and exhausted. People are less likely to take on hundreds of thousands in student loan debt for a grueling job that they must carefully keep by avoiding litigation while watching patients suffer due to high costs passed down from insurance and drug companies.

Healthcare providers are being replaced through AI programs while others are going remote. Amid hospital closures in small towns, remote nurses and doctors are entering hospital rooms on screen. This means hospital administration can hire fewer people and ask the less experienced employees who cost less to retain to perform crucial functions. The virtual nurse or doctor will not be able to help if the patient codes or something goes wrong.

Nursing job vacancies spiked by 30% from 2019 to 2020 as a direct result of COVID regulations and working conditions. A 2021 Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll showed that another 30% of healthcare workers considered leaving their profession in general after the pandemic, while 60% said the pandemic negatively affected their mental health. These people were also required to receive the vaccine against their will and promote treatments for the virus that may not have aligned with what they believed to be the best treatments. Estimates vary, but every agency agrees that there will be a serious shortage in the near future. The American Hospital Association believes there will be a shortage of 3.2 million healthcare workers by 2026.

The largest portion of our population is aging and will require health care in the near future. Not many can afford the costs of becoming ill, and sickness remains the leading cause of bankruptcy in the world’s financial capital. An aging population paired with overwhelming staffing shortages will lead to serious trouble in America’s healthcare system in the short term, not to mention the additional 7.2 million and counting new illegal residents who are receiving free health services at the cost of the taxpayer.

American Special Forces in Taiwan for Permanent Training


Posted originally on Mar 2, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Taiwan ECM 2

Specialists from the US Army are training Taiwanese soldiers in what is described as a permanent arrangement rather than on a rotational basis, including on an island just six miles from the Chinese coast, according to Taiwan’s United Daily News (UDN). This is the clever way to claim that the US is NOT stationing troops there in Taiwan, but they are there ONLY for training purposes, as was the case in Ukraine. The training regimens were being planned and supervised by the 1st Special Forces Group, an airborne unit, under the provisions of last year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was signed into law in December 2022.

There are also reports that American troops are there in Israel as well.

Jack Smith Asks DC Judge Boasberg to Decide What Trump Classified Doc Evidence to Show Florida Judge


Posted originally on the CTH on March 1, 2024 | Sundance 

If you ever needed a good point to highlight the nature of political Lawfare, this is a great example.

Julie Kelly essentially notes that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is asking DC Judge James Boasberg to decide what evidence should be given to Florida Judge Aileen Cannon.

Julie Kelly (Via Twitter) – “It appears that records related to the grand jury proceedings in DC on the classified docs case remain under seal and have not been transmitted to Judge Cannon or defense.

Recall that almost the entire investigation into the classified docs matter took place in Washington DC–not southern FLA even though it is the controlling jurisdiction since the alleged “crime” of retaining classified records/national defense info happened at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

DOJ then Jack Smith kept the case in Trump-hating DC courthouse so they could get favorable rulings from then-chief judge Beryl Howell–which they did. For example, Howell cited the crime fraud exception to justify piercing atty-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, to force Corcoran to turn over his records to DOJ.

Highly unlikely that would have happened in FLA especially before Judge Cannon. But right before indictment, Jack Smith moved the case to Florida. Reports at the time indicated DOJ read summaries of its grand jury evidence to a FLA grand jury in order to secure the indictment.

So, how is it almost nine months post-indictment that trove of evidence remains under seal? When the issue was raised, David Harbach said DOJ was “in the process” of asking the current DC chief judge James Boasberg to review the file, add redactions if needed, and transmit to FLA court. (link)

There is a certain level of cognitive disassociation needed by the media to ignore how the DOJ is using a DC court system to prosecute a Florida case against Trump.   Go Deep on Boasberg HERE

Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system.  In each case Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans, and including Boasberg’s personal appointment of Mary McCord to run defense on behalf of the corrupt DOJ main office.
