Protests at Trudeau rallies an evolution of far-right ideology, says expert

The protests that have dogged Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s election campaign for weeks shouldn’t come as a surprise after months of demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions, says one extremism researcher.

“These people have been protesting against COVID for a long time. People were kind of shocked at the vitriol and the violent rhetoric — and the violence itself — that these people are bringing to the campaign trail,” said Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.

“We’re not surprised by it because these people, these COVID conspiracy types, have been very violent for months.”

Doctor Suggests Hospital Change COVID Case Count: ‘A Little Bit More Scary For The Public’

A North Carolina doctor who had formerly served as the Chief of Medical Staff for a regional medical center argued at a virtual meeting that the hospital’s messaging needs to be “a little bit more scary for the public,” suggesting that the hospital include “post-Covid” patients in the hospital’s case count.

Revolver Investigation: “Two Faces of Fauci” — The Structure of the Pseudo-Scientific Covid Revolution

Nearly two decades ago, a well-known figure gazed into one of C-SPAN’s cameras to answer a question during a live call-in program. “[Y]ou can’t control people’s behavior, but what you can do is you can educate, and you can try to modify behavior,” the figure advised. “[T]he only way you can do that effectively is to create an environment in which you don’t force people who are the subjects or the targets of your education and behavioral modification . . . underground.”

From ‘trust the science’ to ‘trust the tyrants’

President Joe Biden announced a national vaccine mandate Thursday that will affect approximately 100 million workers. It will require all federal workers and contractors to get vaccinated. It will also necessitate large companies to require their employees either to participate in weekly testing or else be vaccinated.

Or else be fired. What do you think that will do to the economy? Watch for O’Biden’s multi-trillion dollar stimulus package for blue states.

Shutdown: the end of an economic era?

Adam Tooze shows how the pandemic has exposed the frailty of an unhealthy economic system.

Particular crises rarely change everything by themselves, but they can amplify what was already underway. This is how economic historian Adam Tooze approaches the Covid crisis in Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World’s Economy. He presents it as an event that brought pre-existing trends to the surface.

Shutdown is one of the first extended economic histories of the pandemic. It covers a single year, from Chinese president Xi Jinping’s public acknowledgment of the outbreak of a novel coronavirus in January 2020 to US president Joe Biden’s inauguration exactly 12 months later. The bulk of Shutdown is a comprehensive month-by-month commentary on the progression of the pandemic, the varied government responses to it and the economic, financial and political fallout.

Study: Ivermectin ‘Exhibits Efficacy’ as Therapeutic for COVID

I stay out of the media wars about which therapeutics for COVID work, which don’t, and which are quackery. If it ever comes to having a personal stake in that question, I will trust my doctor.

But I couldn’t help notice the screeching media hysteria about people supposedly taking a horse deworming medicine called Ivermectin — without mentioning it has a human version — and the false stories of ERs so stuffed by people suffering adverse side effects from the veterinarian medication that other patients couldn’t be treated. The inexcusable baloney was launched by Rolling Stone and amplified by the usual left-wing suspects, such as MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Well, a recently published study found that ivermectin exhibits efficacy against COVID!

Medical Mandates: A Hideous Strength

One recalls C.S. Lewis’ dystopian novel That Hideous Strength, a longtime favorite of mine, where he speaks of “false writings” and “men maddened with false promises and soured with true miseries.” Lewis held to an apocalyptic vision of moral and intellectual surrender to the idols of mere self-sufficiency and hedonistic indulgence, of a time characterized by the death of meaning and the weakening of belief in a just and merciful God. “The shadow of one dark wing is over all Tellus,” the human spirit is being progressively “enclosed,” as he describes it. There is not much of the Rapture here, little indication of the new Jerusalem prophesied in Revelation.

France’s former health minister charged over handling of Covid crisis

Agnès Buzyn accused of ‘endangering the lives of others’ after early statements minimised risk of pandemic

France’s former health minister Agnès Buzyn has been charged over her handling of the Covid-19 pandemic after investigators at a special court in Paris concluded there were grounds to prosecute her.

Buzyn has been charged with “endangering the lives of others”, according to the prosecutor in a special court that deals with ministerial accountability. A second possible offence of “failure to stop a disaster” was not brought.

The former doctor, who will be able to appeal against the charge, attended a hearing at the court on Friday, saying she welcomed “an excellent opportunity for me to explain myself and to establish the truth”.

The China Lackey Trudeau government would be charged if this were France.

A few inconvenient facts about Biden’s vaccine mandate

Joe Biden took to his little lectern on Thursday, shaking with righteous anger. As you already know, he wasn’t angry at al-Qaeda/Taliban terrorists who slaughtered thirteen Americans last month. Nor was he angry about the sex trafficking flowing into America through our southern border and on planes loaded with unvetted Afghan “refugees.” Instead, his anger was reserved for those intransigent Americans who refuse to get vaccinated.

If only half of Americans get vaccinated, do you realize how much the Biden family is going to lose in kickbacks from Big Pharma? No wonder he’s mad!

More COVID Fake News From The Usual Suspects

It’s not easy to say why the establishment media has constantly misled the American public about the threat of COVID-19, yet they continue to do so. The rabid fear mongering of 2020 has not let up, as many conservatives assumed it would if former President Donald Trump were not re-elected. Whatever their reasons, left-leaning reporters and pundits continue to terrorize America with COVID horror stories that are sometimes entirely fabricated. Rolling Stone recently published a piece of pure fiction about an Oklahoma hospital overrun by victims of Ivermectin poisoning when, in fact, the establishment had not treated a single such case.
