The Western world is living a massive COVID lie. That lie is strangling the life out of liberty, and it will destroy our constitutional order if we do not end this horrifying charade.
A recent article in The Guardian discussing France’s vaccine passport unconsciously provides the perfect example. It describes the Great Plague that struck Marseille in 1720 (the final contortion of the Black Death), noting that it “kill[ed] more than half of the city’s population.”
“[S]truggl[ing] to find a delicate balance between halting the spread of the disease and damaging vital commerce,” the city authorities,(snip) ordered travelers “to carry a ‘bill of health’ and ships arriving at the Mediterranean port underwent

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken demanding answers on why a U.S. military official allegedly stopped Americans and Afghan allies from evacuating Afghanistan at the Kabul airport.
Johnson said he has heard reports indicating “a group of over 400 individuals including U.S. citizens were turned away from the airport” by “the commander of the 82nd Airborne Brigade … who told them to get back on their buses and turn around because ‘the rescue was over.’”
“It is not clear what happened to the Americans and the other individuals after they left the airport,” Johnson wrote.

As many long-time readers will know, we do have a little bit more than average experience dealing with the aftermath of hurricanes. I ain’t no expert in the before part; you need to heed the local professionals who guide you through any preparation, and neighborhood specific guidelines, for your immediate area…But when it comes to the ‘after part’, well, as a long-time CERT recovery member, perhaps I can share some things you might find of value. Consider this little word salad a buffet, absorb what might be of value – pass over anything else.If your town, city or hamlet is not underwater, there will be convoys coming to construct a

The FBI allegedly paid a publisher of white supremacist literature more than $144,000 over 16-plus years to serve as a confidential informant, according to recent filings in an ongoing domestic extremism case.
These allegations were made earlier this month by Kaleb Cole, an accused member of the white supremacist group Atomwaffen. (snip)
Cole filed a motion to suppress evidence seized during the FBI’s search of his Texas home. (snip) the FBI failed to disclose the sordid background of one of its confidential informants in the bureau’s application for a search warrant.

When intellectuals and public figures espouse dangerous ideas, the effects can be catastrophic on society. I have always been a fan of renowned poet Munawwar Rana, but his statement that the Taliban cannot be considered terrorists but can, at best, be called aggressive, is shocking. Allama Iqbal, the famous poet and composer of the evocative “Sare jahan se achcha Hindostan hamara”, promoted the vision for Pakistan. We are still suffering its consequences.That is why, when a Muslim Member of Parliament (MP) allegedly compares the Taliban to India’s freedom fighters, or when a member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board praises the Taliban, we must stop to think about

The website of U.S. embassy in Kabul on Saturday morning gave a “404 Error – Page Not Found” to stranded Americans who are looking for status updates on how to reach the airport to be extracted.
“We are sorry but the page you are looking for does not exists,” the page reads, pointing evacuees to “the homepage or browse some of our recent posts.” (anip)The U.S. State Department advised Wednesday about 1,500 Americans are stranded behind enemy lines. But a Senate aide told CNN the same day more than 4,000 Americans remain trapped inside the country. The precise number is not known.

A nation horrified by its first surrender in its nearly 250-year history was further humiliated when Biden refused to go to Dover Air Force Base to pay his respects to the 13 Marines who arrived by casket.
(snip)
As commander-in-chief, Biden is responsible for those deaths. His poor judgment killed those Marines. He owed it to them to own up to this. He owed it to the families to share their grief.
And yes, out of 13 families, I expect someone could make a scene. I expect someone would lash out at him. I expect that someone would make Biden feel very, very bad.
But that is part of the job.

It’s not hard – your stars are right there, generals, right on the shoulders of those new uniforms you decided to adopt with the express purpose of evoking World War II and the memory of victory over a modern, peer-competitor military. Maybe, you thought, wearing winner’s gear would ease the pain of getting creamed by a bunch of Seventh Century throwbacks.
