OSHA Will Publish Emergency Temporary Standard for Vaccination Mandate in Federal Register Tomorrow, Mandate Begins January 4 – Overview and Links


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 4, 2021 | Sundance | 490 Comments

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has finalized the formal process to require employers of more than 100 employees to mandate vaccination as a requirement for employment in the United States.

[OSHA Summary Here] – [OSHA Details pdf HERE]

[Federal Register Notice HERE]

While the OSHA rules appear to have been finalized, the official publication in the Federal Register is scheduled to take place tomorrow November 5, 2021.

The OSHA Rule is being authorized by the Dept of Labor under an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS).  The ETS will go into effect on December 5, 2021, with the final vaccinations and testing in place by January 4, 2022 (sixty days after registration).  There is NO END DATE to the rule.  I repeat, despite the rule being filed under an emergency “temporary” standard, there is no end date for the rule to expire or be reauthorized.

As published, the rule affects employers with 100 or more employees that are not (1) federal contractors or (2) health care facilities (those are subject to different regulations).

Employees who work from home; and/or have no contact with other employees; and/or have contact with customers; and/or work outside; are exempted from the OSHA requirements as published.

♦ Employers have two options: (1) Mandatory vaccinations with exemptions for disabilities and sincere religious beliefs; or (2) Weekly testing and face coverings for unvaccinated employees. (If unvaccinated employees work outside, they do not have to mask).

That means if you are not vaccinated, for whatever reason, you must wear a mask in the workplace and visibly identify yourself as unvaccinated.

♦ Employers are required to:

(1) Create and implement a Covid safety plan.

(2) Collect proof of vaccination for employees. Employers cannot just ask employees – they need to see their official vaccination record or other evidence.

(3) Provide paid time off for vaccinations and side effects.  Employers must provide four hours of paid time off for each employee to be vaccinated and also need to provide a reasonable amount of time off if someone has a bad reaction.

(4) Continue with quarantine policies as set forth by the CDC. Anyone who tests positive must quarantine, even if they are fully vaccinated.

(5) Any employee who is hospitalized or dead due to the vaccine must be reported to OSHA and registered as a workplace injury/death.

(6) Employers must be prepared to be audited and prove vaccination records, if asked.

Pfizer Produces Creepy Vaccination Propaganda Video Targeting Kids – Reminder, Only 27 Percent of Parents Comfortable With This Political Vaccination


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 3, 2021 | Sundance | 316 Comments

Before getting to a seriously deranged propaganda commercial presented by Pfizer, let me first outline some context.

Modern Democrats and leftists -writ large- celebrate childless families.  Modern Democrats advocate for not having children and enjoying the freedom that comes from a childless life.

Democrats promote abortion even at the last moments before natural birth (ie. #ShoutYourAbortion), and consider children to be “anchors” (Obama’s term) that stop people from enjoying a productive life focused on professional advancement.

Everything in the expressed policies of the modern Democrats is about not having children or becoming parents.  Sure they talk about children, but only from the perspective of political benefit.  Children are a point of advocacy for them; yet most influential modern leftists do not have children.

Democrats and leftists also claim not having children is the most environmentally responsible conduct.  They intentionally erode the institution of marriage, and inside their policies they advocate for the government to replace two parent households.  Single parenting is supported by funding and direct subsidy; and the ability to be disconnected from direct childcare and parental responsibility is part of their platform.  The state replaces the role of parent.

As a direct result, an entire generation of brainwashed twenty-somethings have no desire to have children.  Additionally, as a natural outcome of this generational approach, the children that do exist within society are overwhelmingly from parents who are not in alignment with mainstream leftism.

U.S. Democrats, in generalized terms, no longer have a direct and personal connection to raising children.  A very large percentage of leftist political advocates are childless.  That is the generational context that is growing more stark as each year passes.  There are fewer and fewer children from people who define themselves as Democrats.  However, you will note these childless leftist activists are also at the center of policies that touch the lives of parents.

One example would be the School Boards recently in the headlines that are often occupied by childless leftists and ideologues who align with communal outlooks toward children.  They do not have children themselves, but they believe your children belong to them.  As a consequence, they have a ridiculously overbalanced influence in what happens in the lives of children.  It is a weird dynamic that has become even more weird over the course of many years.

So when you consider the position of political leftists when it comes to vaccinations, remember most of their advocacy influence is external to their tribe.  They advocate for having kids vaccinated with an experimental vaccine (no long-term consequences studied) yet, they do not have kids themselves.  This should be a warning flag to parents.

Now check out the Pfizer propaganda commercial {Direct Rumble Link Here}:

.

Keep in mind, only 27% of parents in the recent NBC survey would vaccinate their 3 to 11 year-old kids.  It is very likely the overwhelming majority of that 27% lean politically toward the left. [DATA]

64% of people with children under age 11 say they would not vaccinate their kids or would wait to see more data on long term consequences. Only 27% of respondents said they would immediately vaccinate their children with the untested COVID vaccine.

.

In an exhibition of the law of unintended consequence…. What worries the political left?

…..That parents will align with Republicans.

In order for leftist ideologues to continue advancing their insane ideological beliefs, they must pretend not to know things.  In that tweet video, Stephanie Cutter has to pretend not to know that all modern Democrat Party priorities are intended to undermine parenting.  Now, she’s worried that Democrats will not hold parents as a constituency.

Leftism is a mental disorder.

Biden’s Response to a Question About Giving $450,000 to Illegal Aliens in DOJ Settlement Case SHOULD ALARM EVERYONE


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 3, 2021 | Sundance | 257 Comments

During a press conference this afternoon, to promote vaccines for children 5 to 11 years-old, Fox News journalist Peter Ducey asked Joe Biden about the DOJ settlement agreement with ACLU and immigration lawyers to pay illegal aliens $450,000 per person as compensation for their pain and suffering. {Go Deep}

You need to watch Joe Biden’s response carefully, because what he said should alarm everyone.

Within the response which includes “that’s not going to happen“, it is clear that Joe Biden has absolutely NO IDEA what the journalist was talking about.  From the position of Joe Biden, the Fox reporter was speaking ‘fake news’.   WATCH:

The headline from this response should not be Joe Biden saying “that’s not going to happen“; the screaming alarm bell headline should be: President Biden Has No Idea DOJ, DHS and HHS Entered Settlement with Immigration Lawyers to Pay $450,000 Per Person.

The bigger issue is not paying the illegal aliens a settlement, the bigger issue is Joe Biden having no idea about it.

This showcases a puppet president who has no idea what is going on around him.  This isn’t an issue of not knowing something that was in a congressional bill, or not knowing details of a Dept of Labor ruling.  This is the Joe Biden Executive Branch operating unilaterally without involving Joe Biden.

The President of the United States doesn’t know about what is going on in his own administration, because the office of the presidency is an irrelevant agency to the people who are operating behind the curtain.  THAT is what Joe Biden’s response highlighted.

CDC Recommends Vaccines for 5 to 11-year-olds, Jabs Start Tomorrow


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 2, 2021 | Sundance | 128 Comments

Center for Disease Control (CDC) Director Rochelle P. Walensky has given the authorization for vaccinations to begin in 5 to 11-year-olds starting tomorrow.  You can review the CDC press release HERE.   According to the CDC announcement, Walensky states: “We know millions of parents are eager to get their children vaccinated and with this decision, we now have recommended that about 28 million children receive a COVID-19 vaccine.”

Unfortunately, the CDC authorization now gives cover to various blue state democrats who will likely mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for public school children. However, despite the CDC position, it is worth noting the recent survey by NBC showing only 27% of parents would vaccinate their kids under 12:

… 64% of people with children under age 11 say they would not vaccinate their kids or would wait to see more data on long term consequences. Only 27% of respondents said they would immediately vaccinate their children with the untested COVID vaccine. (more)

It is very reasonable for parents to question the FDA approval and the political intents of the CDC in authorizing this vaccination for children 3 to 11.   The risk to children from the virus itself is virtually nonexistent.  However, despite the low risk the government is recommending, perhaps soon to be mandating, a little tested vaccine for a population that is not at any significant level of health risk.

If the Virginia election result teaches the Biden administration that protecting kids is important to parents on the issue of education…. they haven’t seen anything yet, when it comes to the response from parents to vaccinating kids with an untested vaccine. Madness.

Internal CDC emails Show Why They Changed the Definition of “Vaccines” and What it Means to be “Vaccinated”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 2, 2021 | Sundance | 209 Comments

TechnoFog submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to see what was happening inside the CDC, as they discussed needing to change the definitions of “vaccine” and “vaccination” in order to get past the problematic issue of their supported products not actually providing immunity from the COVID-19 virus or any variant thereof.

Within the internal emails [SEE HERE], the officials within the health industry knew they had a problem because their push to vaccinate everyone would not generate any immunity from the virus itself.

Rather than deal with the problem of a non-effective vaccine, the officials discussed, modified and then eventually just changed the definition of what a vaccine is intended to do:

Rumble Video Platform Moving Headquarters from Canada to Sarasota County, Florida


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 2, 2021 | Sundance | 105 Comments

The cleaving of Big Tech continues, only this time the move of company headquarters by the Rumble video hosting service appears to be a proactive move to avoid government intervention and regulations requiring platform providers to censor speech.  Rumble is moving from Toronto, Canada to Sarasota, Florida.

As noted by Glenn Greenwald, “Canada is actively creating laws to impose civil or even criminal liability on social media platforms that don’t censor enough,” as a result, any content platform provider could be subject to civil or criminal liability if they do not filter content based on ideological demands of the government.

Canada and the EU are both working on laws that will define acceptable speech and the various platform hosts who give a place for online content will be held accountable.  The goal of the left-wing ideology is to censor speech they view as against their interests (ex: COVID vaccination etc).  Not accidentally, this same framework to stop speech has now moved to the U.S. congress as ideological activists are creating the background for U.S. regulations.  That’s the motive behind Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen {Go Deep} who has testified and advocated for controls over speech in the U.S. and U.K (link).

This regulatory push to make tech platform providers like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and now alternative venues like Rumble, Telegram, Locals, Substack, etc subject to regulations, civil and criminal punishments by bureaucratic government panels, is actually the reason why CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed the company structure of Facebook.

The creation of “Meta” as the parent company of Facebook was fundamentally a risk management strategy, limiting liability, more than anything else.

Just like the example of the Exxon Valdez oil spill changing the corporate structure for oil companies, limiting liability by removing Exxon tanker ships from the larger parent company, and using leased contracts under subsidiary names, so too does Facebook limit their liabilities by isolating each platform division away from the company’s top line revenue.

Big Tech was/is colluding with  their government allies and censoring content on their platforms based on ideology.  However, with various alternatives now surfacing as a result of a massive purge by Big Tech, the need for government intervention to continue the censorship has become paramount.  Canada and the EU are both working on regulations to fulfill this objective.  The owners of Rumble are smart to make a proactive move away from those regulations.

(Herald-Tribune)  Toronto-based video platform Rumble, which is popular among conservative viewers, will establish its U.S. headquarters on Longboat Key.

The platform provides video creators a way to host, manage, distribute and create feeds and monetize their content, according to Rumble’s website. Rumble has signed a lease for a property on Longboat Key, according to a press release announcing the move.

A representative of the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County said at a County Commission meeting last week that a Canadian company was coming to Longboat Key, but the EDC did not reveal the name of the company until now.

“Moving to Longboat Key is a win-win for Rumble and the Sarasota community,” Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said in the press release. “Sarasota County is growing rapidly, and we are excited to be part of the growth. We plan to fill 20-25 new positions in Florida immediately for our U.S. headquarters, with many more planned for the future. This move positions us to continue providing a platform to content creators without the threats from big tech monopolies. We are excited to invest in Florida in the coming years while we continue to grow Rumble.” (read more)

In the background of all internet communication, this discussion has been happening for years.  CTH has been active inside this conversation since our own deplatforming from WP/Automattic in 2020.

Creating communication systems, including the myriad of website systems, that are not subject to the ideological whims of internet tech companies is not an easy accomplishment.  However, it is getting better as more systems and platform providers are quickly coming online.  Oddly enough, there is a strong army of people who create the tech systems, the actual coders and design architects, who are independent and do not agree with the totalitarian outlooks of the Big Tech conglomerate.

Starting from a decade long deficit, the “Rebel Alliance” has made great strides in creating systems and tech infrastructure to remove the tentacles of Big Tech.

Servers and internet systems are now rapidly organizing to host content providers without fear of removal; however, there is still a long way to go.

Even the Left is Questioning Natural Immunity


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Nov 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Notoriously left Bill Maher is wondering why America denies the impact of natural immunity. “If [a firefighter] is willing to go into a burning building and says, ‘I’m just not that afraid of COVID and I don’t want to take the shot’ — that should be enough,” Caitlin Flanagan commented, defending her position that people who save lives should not be fired. “How do people from one party get such a bad idea, where did that come from?” Maher asks after reviewing the rates of hospitalization for the unvaccinated. Some Democrats are beginning to dissent from the Biden, Gates, and Schwab agenda. We saw how the party handled the recent spending bill, and the far-left is beginning to separate from the moderates.

For The First Time Ever New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is asked a Tough Question About Her Vaccine Position, She Melted on Camera


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 2, 2021 | Sundance | 58 Comments

New Zealand’s smiley faced Fascist Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is the female messiah to the global progressive movement. Everything about her is carefully controlled and scripted for public display; including her positions on COVID-19 mitigation, her insane lockdowns, geographic bubble dictates and her over-the-top vaccine mandate push.

Any journalist/’churnalist’ who does not stay inside the government approved guidelines for COVID questioning is removed from their job. In every extreme manner you would consider, the New Zealand government under the Ardern regime control everything the public is permitted to hear.

Today, Ardern traveled to the guarded proximity border between Auckland and Northland where she was justifying her quarantine enforcement zones. The guarded checkpoints are in place to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, or so she claims. Ardern has never been publicly challenged to reconcile her continued claims that the vaccine will stop people from getting the COVID-19 virus, because the government controls who is permitted to ask questions.

Today, what I believe to be a pharmacist, attended one of her frequent press conferences and challenged her for the first time to explain her position. The man asking the questions cited the reality and scientific outcomes in the U.K. and Israel that show the vaccine does nothing to stop the spread of the virus or any variant. This was the very first time Prime Minister Ardern faced a question that was not from a controlled and approved media script.  WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (video at 10:00 prompted):

A visibly shaken Prime Minister Ardern could not handle being asked to reconcile her continued claims about vaccine efficacy against the reality that the vaccine does nothing to stop the spread of the virus.  She had to shut down the conversation, and the questioner was promptly the target of the government control agents.
