![]() The Third Year of the Virus Wars By Cliff Kincaid Nixon Veep Spiro Agnew’s description of journalists as “nattering nabobs of negativism” now applies to the Luddites in the MAGA movement who resist mRNA vaccine technology that saves lives. I hear from them every day. They are mostly religious zealots and QAnon ideologues who have turned on Trump. In his debate with Candace Owens, Trump faulted them for resisting scientific and medical progress. In regard to technology that defeats disease and holds out a cure for cancer, the “nattering nabobs of negativism” claim the vaccines are flawed because they are not 100 percent effective and that there are “breakthrough” cases of COVID from the vaccinated. They ignore the data showing the unvaccinated are the vast majority of those going to the hospital and dying from the disease. Former President Trump made this point to Candace Owens on her program sponsored by Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire. In response, Owens called Trump an old man. I am curious about the Luddite mentality of the opponents of the Trump “Warp Speed” vaccines. Owens lives in Tennessee and just had a baby. Here are the vaccine requirements in that state for children enrolling in kindergarten:
Does she object to all of these or some of them? On what basis? I am curious to find out. By harping on Trump’s vaccines as genocidal weapons of mass death, the anti-vaxxers on the right are playing into the hands of Biden and Company, who should be under fire for failing to mobilize the federal bureaucracy to produce accurate COVID tests available for free. The Luddites now preach “medical freedom” as their numbers dwindle and their followers drop dead. In terms of history, which is relevant, Carnegie Mellon University’s new Curator of Special Collections Samuel Lemley has commented on how Edward Jenner’s 1798 book, An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, a Disease Discovered in Some of the Western Counties of England, was instrumental in developing the modern-day smallpox vaccine. Jenner believed that vaccination “offered a natural, even wholesome intervention that could restore humankind’s preordained immunity.” But that view, which eventually saved millions of lives, was rejected by the Luddites of the time. Even before Jenner put his findings into print, efforts were being made by various doctors to find a cure. General George Washington, fighting for American independence, implemented a system of inoculation, considered at the time an “experimental” approach, like the mRNA technology of today. Quinn H. Becker, Surgeon General of the United States Army, notes that the recommendation to Washington was made by Dr. John Morgan, physician-in-chief of the American army, who wrote a treatise in 1776 entitled "Recommendation of Inoculation According to Baron Dimsdale’s Method." As noted by Mary V. Thompson, research historian of the Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, soldiers “would contract the milder form of the disease at the same time that they were being outfitted with uniforms and weapons” but would “consequently be completely healed, inoculated, and supplied by the time they left to join the army.” Bringing this story up to date, the lesson is that patriots should embrace new technology that can be used by humanity to cure disease and enable people to live longer and healthier lives. This new technology can help us win this war against China and its virus. Instead of embracing President Trump’s approach, I find several so-called “conservatives” accepting the views of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an attorney and environmental activist who wants to free his father’s Marxist assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, from prison. It’s no wonder that Trump’s team, after he was elected in 2016, pulled back on the announcement that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. would chair a commission on vaccine safety and integrity. Democrats for the most part have accepted the scientific integrity of the Trump “Warp Speed” vaccines and have gotten vaccinated. But if they were totally honest, they would acknowledge the truth of Rep. Paul Gosar’s short history of Biden’s broken promises regarding COVID testing, as documented by Politico:
Even a pillar of the liberal media, Politico, refers to Biden’s testing failures as a “mess,” explaining, “For a year, he has been promising to fix the lack of testing capacity in the U.S.” It would seem to me that Trump supporters would join Rep. Gosar in holding Biden accountable for his failures. Instead, they charge Trump with genocide. Now entering the third year of COVID, with the death toll at 819,000, the “nattering nabobs of negativism” are literally making people sick and getting them killed. Their new-found hatred for Trump is one of the best things Biden has going for him. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org

By U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar
For a year, he has been promising to fix the lack of testing capacity in the United States since he took in office. Why has it taken Mr. Biden so long for his administration to get serious about providing tests to Americans? Asked this question by reporter, Mr. Biden snapped: “Come on, ‘What took so long’? It didn’t take long at all. What happened was the Omicron virus spread more rapidly than anyone thought.” Upon closer review, Biden simply dropped the ball. Here’s a short history of his broken promises regarding COVID testing [from Politico]: Jan. 22 : Biden promises “a war footing to aggressively speed up our Covid-19 response, especially on vaccines and testing and reopening our schools.” Feb. 17: Biden announces “a series of new actions to expand Covid-19 testing, improve the availability of tests, and better prepare for the threat of variants.” March 11: Biden says, “We continue to work on making at-home testing available.” July 6: Biden says, “We’re going to deploy things like testing to expand detection of the virus.” Sept. 9: In a major speech, Biden says, “From the start, America has failed to do enough Covid-19 testing.” He promises to: 1) “use the Defense Production Act to increase production of rapid tests, including those that you can use at home,” 2) ensure that retailers such as Walmart, Amazon and Kroger “sell at-home rapid test kits at cost for the next three months,” and 3) “purchase nearly 300 million rapid tests for distribution … so that every American, no matter their income, can access free and convenient tests.” Dec. 2: In a major speech, Biden says, “This winter, we are going to make free at-home tests more available to Americans than ever before,” principally by mandating that “health insurers must cover the cost of at-home testing.” Dec. 6: In a White House press briefing, a reporter asks press secretary JEN PSAKI whether the Biden reimbursement plan is needlessly cumbersome: “Why not just make them free and give them out to — and have them available everywhere?” Psaki mocks the question, responding, “Should we just send one to every American? In his pathetic speech this week, Mr. Biden admits his attempts to expand testing haven’t been adequate. Not adequate? C’mon, let’s be candid, he’s not been honest with the American people from day one. “Because Omicron spreads easily, especially among the unvaccinated, it’s critically important that we know who’s infected,” he says. “That means we need more testing. And on that score, we are [not] where we should be.” In the meanwhile, Americans can’t find tests anywhere and cars are lined up for miles at test centers as people wait for hours trying to get tested. ![]() Trump Separates the Wheat from the Chaff By Cliff Kincaid The Alex Jones wing of the MAGA movement is very disappointed with Trump’s strong defense of the “Warp Speed” vaccines. But Trump knows they work. He got COVID, a vaccine, and a booster. He put Ben Shapiro employee Candace Owens in her place when she tried to argue with him about deaths from the vaccines. Trump noted the deaths are from those who are victims of disinformation and do not get the vaccines, ending up in the hospital and taking up space from people with other legitimate needs. Meanwhile, Jones, who thinks 9/11 was done by Dick Cheney and the victims of Sandy Hook were fakes, has had to attend to various family and personal problems. His wife was arrested. An imposter in the conservative movement, Jones has led many astray, a fact that seems to have dawned on Trump. As he prepares to back conservatives in 2022 and possibly to run in 2024, Trump understands that his record on the vaccines will be contrasted favorably with China Joe Biden’s disastrous record on COVID in 2021. Saving lives is a better platform than killing people through disease and death, causing shortages of basic goods and services and disrupting the holidays with cancelled flights. Trump, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, urged people to get vaccinated and said, “When the plague came in from China, I dragged the slow and complacent bureaucrats from the FDA, and the CDC into the Oval Office. I pushed them like they have never been pushed before, and thanks to the relentless efforts of my administration and me, we got miraculous therapeutics straight to patients with historic speed, and we produced three vaccines to end the pandemic in record time…We did it in less than nine months.” Biden has had more than nine months to make sure reliable and accurate COVID tests are available. But he failed to energize the bureaucracy in the same way Trump did. As a result, Americans have no tests as they cope with another wave of the China virus. Belatedly, Biden recognized Trump’s role in the vaccines. But such praise does not make up for Biden’s lie that he would “shut down” the virus, and his promise of free tests not yet available. Trump understands, in the present political environment, that the Alex Jones and Candace Owens’ wings of the MAGA movement are naysayers who strike most Americans as Luddites opposed to technological progress. These are the people who follow Mike Lindell and not only say vaccines are the “Mark of the Beast” but that 5G communications networks are something to be feared. These are fringe characters and preppers who act like they are living in a bubble off the grid. Sadly, Fox News personalities such as Tucker Carlson are going off the deep end, even pandering to former KGB officer Vladimir Putin’s designs on Ukraine. Trump was tough on Putin, in contrast to China Joe giving the Russians control over European energy through the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. On every issue, domestic and foreign, people are looking back with fondness for the Trump years. Trump understands this is his moment. He can take back Congress and even the White House, if he just stays away from the QAnon supporters and other fringe characters like Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and Steve Bannon. On his way to Delaware, China Joe now says he has no federal answers to COVID, as the hospitals fill up. Trump acted quickly, by contrast, but there is still much to be done. America needs a president who can take the war to our enemies and adversaries, including China and its virus, and Russia and its virus, the old KGB. Meanwhile, historian and former State Department intelligence analyst Kenneth J. Dillon, who closely monitors communist intelligence operations, has taken a hard in-depth look at the 1996 mysterious death of former CIA Director William Colby and concludes the Russians may have had a role in that. If this is the case, it would not be surprising. The KGB programmed Lee Harvey Oswald to kill President John F. Kennedy and tried to kill the anti-communist Pope John Paul II. A Marxist named Sirhan Sirhan killed JFK’s Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy, and a series of KGB dissidents have been murdered over the years through the use of Russian poisons and chemicals. All of this means that China Joe personally has more to worry about in terms of the Russian threat today. He understands the threat but is afraid of it. He knows the Russians can strike deep in the heart of Washington, D.C., as demonstrated by the case of the death of the Russian creator of the propaganda channel, Russia Today (RT), Mikhail Lesin, who was found dead in a Washington D.C. hotel room in 2015. He was apparently planning to cooperate with U.S. authorities investigating Russian espionage operations. This means the China virus will continue to run rampant and Russia will blackmail Biden Joe into capitulating to Putin’s demands on Ukraine. Another nation of freedom-loving people will suffer a betrayal at the hands of an American president. The American people are desperate to evict China Joe from the White House and move him permanently to Delaware. In order to take back the country, Trump must leave Tucker Carlson and the Bannon “War Room” characters behind and rally the majority of Americans behind a program of scientific and technological advancement that will truly restore American greatness, put our enemies on the defensive, and save our lives in the process. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org ![]() China Joe’s White Flag in the Virus Wars By Cliff Kincaid Did you know that 70 members of the Pfizer investment board are members of the Chinese Communist Party? Members include Chen Thirsty, High Also, Ding ling, and Jia Four Flowers. This absurd and ridiculous claim, circulated among conservatives by self-appointed experts with no medical expertise, strikes me as similar to the disinformation campaigns of the last two years. The communists will do anything to persuade people not to take the American-made vaccines produced by Pfizer or Moderna. At first, the Chinese communists have tried to convince people in the West that the China virus was either a hoax or just another flu-like illness. But they knew the virus is real and that it kills in new and unique ways. They know because the evidence is that their scientists either produced or released it from a laboratory. As America suffers from shortages of tests, goods, and services, as a result of the spread of the latest China virus variant, my friend and journalist, Trevor Loudon, has recorded a video blaming the communists for lockdowns over the virus in the West. His evidence is that a member of the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies (SAGE), which advises Boris Johnson’s government in Britain, is a communist. In contrast to Britain, America has a federal system of government in which states decide for themselves what actions to take against the virus. Many reject a Biden-style national system of lockdowns and have gone to court to block them. Whatever the communist role in lockdowns, the vaccines have proven to be effective, and yet many Trump supporters are ambivalent about them. Conservative websites censor my columns of hope and scientific vaccine progress made under Trump. It’s true that Communists generally do not oppose state-sanctioned mandatory vaccination programs and lockdowns. On the other hand, Trevor Loudon does not emphasize that the Chinese and Russian Communist Parties oppose American-made vaccines. This is the critical fact as we surpass 800,000 dead Americans from the virus and millions scramble to get COVID tests. Whereas Trump acted quickly to get the vaccines approved, China Joe Biden has completely bungled the roll-out of the tests, telling ABC News he had ordered “pills” instead of tests. The Washington Free Beacon has given China Joe the distinction of "The Lie of the Year," with his proclamation, "I will shut down the virus." The contrast is striking: Trump developed life-saving vaccines and Biden is promising free tests that are not yet available. Liberal Gregg Gonsalves, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health and associate professor (adjunct) at Yale Law School, wrote a column in the Washington Post under the title, President Biden is failing on covid-19. Referring to China Joe's latest pronouncement, he said, “what we saw this week was an administration floundering and a president not in command of facts or willing to shift course in any substantial way on the pandemic.” The liberal media are now recognizing failures built on lies. Biden broke his promise to shut down the virus. This is dereliction of duty and an impeachable offense Still, as Trump emphasized in his debate with Candace Owens, we have his life-saving vaccines. As I have noted in the past, the irony is that the American vaccines were made possible by a refugee from communist Hungary, a scientist by the name of Katalin Karikó. She fled to the U.S. from communism in the 1980s and just received the Vilcek Prize for Excellence in Biotechnology “for her pioneering research leadership into the development of mRNA therapeutics, which led to the development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19.” Developed under President Trump’s “Warp Speed” project, Karikó explains in a story by Adrian Peel of the Cambridge Independent how mRNA “instructs cells to create a harmless piece of the Covid-19 virus’ spike protein, which provokes the immune system into a response.” Potentially, such technology promises a cure for cancer. She notes a cancer vaccine using mRNA has also been in development for 20 years. With the American-made vaccines for COVID-19 making a difference, the communists realized that their attempts to cripple the United States completely were fruitless. They began spreading disinformation designed to get people questioning and opposing the vaccines. Ironically, many were formerly Trump supporters. The stories of prominent “anti-vaxxers” dying from the coronavirus could fill a book. Trump, however, not only took the vaccine but the booster. Under President Trump, the Pentagon and the State Department began focusing on the on-going COVID-19 disinformation campaigns of China, Russia, and Iran. One report, “Axis of Disinformation: Propaganda from Iran, Russia, and China on COVID-19,” was written by researchers associated with U.S. Central Command’s Information Operations Division and documents how the claims advanced by these three countries are all designed to take attention away from the Chinese origin of the virus. In making the charge that the Chinese coronavirus originated in the United States, the Chinese took a page out of the old Soviet playbook. As concern about AIDS was growing in the 1980s, the Soviet Union launched a disinformation campaign charging that an American military laboratory had developed the virus that caused HIV/AIDS. CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather reported this charge on a March 30, 1987, broadcast and was widely criticized for playing into a Soviet KGB disinformation campaign. It had appeared in a number of Soviet and Third World publications before Rather picked it up. In the case of the China virus, journalists generally admit it came from China, but not from a government lab. As a journalist, media critic, researcher and author who has never been employed by or associated with any government intelligence agency, I believe that providing accurate information to the American people is a special responsibility. My June 20, 2015, conference through the Committee to Protect Medical Freedom, one of our special projects, challenged the government's AIDS vaccine program, its AIDS science, and the failure to address contaminated vaccines possibly linked to cancer and AIDS. I came to the conclusion that the government, in collusion with certain special interests, was rushing into development and production of vaccines that could backfire, causing more health problems than they would solve. The AIDS vaccine project, developed under President Clinton, was a failure. I also challenged the Hepatitis B vaccines for kids. Hepatitis B mostly affects drug users, the sexually promiscuous, blood transfusion recipients, and health care workers. So why are innocent children who are not at risk being required to be vaccinated against it? It's because the government doesn't want or can't identify those who ARE at risk. It's easier to get the children, who are least likely to get the disease. In regard to the China virus, contagious and deadly, everyone was at risk, especially older Americans. It was important to act quickly, and Trump did. The government not only failed to protect us against the China virus, there is evidence that U.S. agencies are linked to American and Chinese scientists who are/were working on dangerous biological experiments in China, described as “gain-of-function” research designed to make viruses more transmissible and fatal. Under President Trump, the Department of Justice announced that Dr. Charles Lieber, the Chair of Harvard University's Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department, and two Chinese nationals had been charged in connection with aiding Communist China. This indictment was completed under Trump and Lieber has now been found guilty. But “fact-checkers” assured at the time of his indictment that he had nothing to do with the virus that has now killed more than 800,000 Americans. Lieber’s “sponsors,” as identified on his web site, included the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Naval Research, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, and MITRE, a think tank. Despite this successful prosecution that began under President Trump, a group of professors at Stanford University has asked Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland to discontinue the Trump-era program aimed at combating Chinese economic espionage and finding Chinese spies in academia. This is a topic that my friend Trevor Loudon should be concerned about. And it involves America and not a British advisory group with one communist member. As we debate masks and lockdowns and scramble for tests, what are we going to do to prevent another killer virus from being unleashed by China on the world? The answer may lie in the fact that a Navy combat ship was just forced to remain in port because of a COVID outbreak. At least Biden’s impeachment would send the message to our enemies that we take this war seriously. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org Department of Justice
