China Is Leading the World to the New Age By Cliff Kincaid – July 21, 2021 The only major economy to report economic growth in the “pandemic-ravaged year” of 2020, China’s growth will reach 8.5% this year as America is mired in debt and inflation. Meanwhile, a fourth coronavirus wave is hitting the U.S. as the Delta variant is more contagious and dangerous than the original China virus. On top of this, COVID-19 cases at the U.S. southern border are up 900 percent. Ironically, Trump’s supporters have turned their backs on his signature initiative, the Warp Speed vaccines, on grounds that they contain “Mark of the Beast” technology and make people magnetic. The bizarre “pandemic of the unvaccinated” gives governmental authorities the excuse they need to shut the fundamentalists and the right-wingers down as threats to public health, using vaccine and mask mandates. Rational thinking about the virus, especially its origin in China, has also given way to New Age philosophy guiding the “QAnon” theory of world events, with a book, Love Joy Trump: A Chorus of Prophetic Voices, by one “BethAnon,” predicting President Trump's 2nd term. The book carries a foreword by Mike Lindell of My Pillow and includes references to Gaia, the earth goddess, space ships, “ascension,” and a great awakening. New Age expert Constance Cumbey finds these developments frightening and says, “Things are more advanced than even I feared.” In other words, the “New Age” may be upon us. In the Middle East, Jerusalem Rabbis are saying unprecedented floods worldwide are “washing away the enemies of Israel” before the Messiah returns, as an Israeli attack on Russian ally Iran seems likely. China is planning to turn Afghanistan, once American troops are gone, into another hub on its Belt and Road global trade initiative. Biden just gave Russia economic control of Europe through the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. As a researcher not a prophet, I hesitate to say we are in the “final days” or the “end times.” But there are three major global events -- the pandemic, contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, and climate change -- that could provide what world government advocates call the “trigger” for “global renewal” or a “paradigm shift.” China stands ready to take advantage of any and all of these circumstances. During a year in which the U.S. intelligence establishment reported the existence of “unidentified aerial phenomena” and American billionaires are shooting themselves into space, some observers are wondering if another major development will soon take place not on earth but in space. “When you look at the planet, there are no borders,” Amazon billionaire “astronaut” Jeff Bezos said. “It’s one planet, and we share it and it’s fragile.” His company just announced it will be lobbying for legalization of marijuana, a mind-altering drug increasingly linked by studies to mental illness. Oregon decriminalized cocaine, meth, and LSD by passing a measure backed by money from billionaires George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg. In her provocative book, Storm on the Horizon, Sylvia McKelvey says “climate change” could be one of those “Signs of the Times” that the Bible talks about. However, this is not a phenomenon that can be solved through a “Green New Deal” or similar piece of legislation. Governments know they can’t alter weather patterns through laws and regulations. Instead, the issue serves to galvanize support for a world government to “solve” the problem on an international basis, cloaked in the spiritual language of “earth care” or “care for creation,” building off the Laudato Si’ encyclical of Pope Francis. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Association of Diocesan Ecumenical and Interreligious Officers, and Catholic Climate Covenant have just published the Ecumenical and Interreligious Guidebook, Care for Our Common Home, noting the significance of the United Nations Environmental Sabbath, “observed with attentiveness to the goodness of creation.” The “Environmental Sabbath” project was created to teach kids to hold hands around a tree and meditate. The purpose, through meditation, is to become “one” with trees, rocks, and dirt. Regarding the “unidentified aerial phenomena,” which is also the subject of her book and the subtitle, “The New Age, UFOs, and the Cosmic Christ,” McKelvey devotes a chapter to China’s hunt, with U.S. assistance, for “evidence of advanced civilization in space.” Earlier this year China opened the world's largest radio telescope to international observers. This replaces America’s Arecibo Observatory, which had been the largest in the world but collapsed in November 2020. She cites an interesting article, “What Happens If China Makes First Contact?” She also mentions the extraordinary volume, A World Parliament: Governance and Democracy in the 21st Century, which speculates that a “revolution from above” will take place, led by global elites identified as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and others, in response to “dramatic and decisive events” that produce “suffering and shock” on the world stage. The book, published in 2018, considered climate change and pandemics to be two such events. For his part, Gates wrote, “COVID-19 is awful. Climate change could be worse.” So what about the promised Messiah or “world teacher,” as UFO researcher Gerard Aartsen calls him? Using my imagination, not any insight into scriptures, it seems possible that everything we are hearing about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) may, by default, fall into the hands of China, as world events described by the book about a world parliament become a “global perestroika” that somehow miraculously transforms the Communist Chinese dictatorship into a “democracy” that will lead the world out of its misery into a new global system. The new Messiah, in other word, might be Chinese -- or else someone picked by China -- after contact with space aliens. Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev, who initiated the Soviet-style perestroika, has urged an emergency special session of the U.N. General Assembly, with “revising the entire global agenda” as the main topic, leading “toward a new consciousness, a new civilization.” The former Soviet president had declared his commitment to a one-world communist state, even during the period of perestroika, saying on November 2, 1987, “We are moving towards a new world, the world of communism. We shall never turn off that road.” The Chinese agree. Perhaps China’s unveiling of a new world leader could take place at the United Nations, where, under China Joe, its World Health Organization (WHO) is once again getting U.S. funding. Since China conceived the virus, its rulers could suddenly announce a miraculous “cure” for the disease that Senator Rand Paul notes has killed 4 million people (as a result of a bioweapon created with the assistance of grants from Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institutes of Health.) Such an announcement could come after a visit to the U.N. Meditation Room, a non-Christian facility with strange lights and modern art where officials gather to achieve what they call cosmic consciousness and give homage to the earth spirit called Gaia. UN Secretary-General António Guterres, just re-appointed to a second term, is a former head of the Socialist International, a worldwide group with “consultative status” with the United Nations that promises “Progressive politics for a fairer world.” As I predicted in a previous column, “Saving the Planet as People Perish,” their “vision” of the New World Order is now coming into clear focus. They think China’s mass murder is not the time to hold China responsible for death and suffering, but to save Mother Earth from greenhouse gases. They think this will usher in a global one-world socialist state, a development that could find China as the head of the New World Order. Communist collaborator Pope Francis can be counted on to go along with the plan. The open question is who will assume the role of world dictator. Only China and the United Nations seem to know the identity of the “Cosmic Christ.” *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc, www.usasurvival.org

Vaccine Censorship and the Need for Truth By Cliff Kincaid – July 19, 2021 Even as China virus cases surge once again, tanking the stock market, there are Americans who don’t believe the Chinese bioweapon will injure or kill them. While Cubans on the communist island march for life-saving vaccines, this brand of “American exceptionalism” rejects coronavirus vaccine mandates and masks. They seem to think that are immune. Alan Scott Lanoix was unvaccinated and didn’t think he would get Covid. Lisa Adler, his sister, said, “He thought the vaccine was poison and he was afraid of getting it and there's a lot of people that have that same feeling.” As a story by WWLTV recounted, he then tested positive for the virus and spent 17 days in the hospital with several on a ventilator before passing away. Lanoix was the father of three sons, who had to bury their father on Father’s Day. Adler says, “He was a great person and I urge anybody if they are on the fence about getting the vaccine, do it in my brother's memory.” According to one poll, 20 percent think the U.S. government is using the COVID-19 vaccine to microchip the population. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, has appeared on shows hosted by Brannon Howse on Mike Lindell's network, where she called the vaccines “Satan’s last hurrah.” Tenpenny’s claims have led to coverage of people sticking metal things to their skin and insisting it’s because of microchips and/or metals in the vaccine formula. “I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the Internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized,” Tenpenny said in testimony to the Ohio legislature. “They can put a key on their forehead. It sticks. They can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick, because now we think that there’s a metal piece to that.” And the vaccines may link people to 5G though an “interface.” She said: “There’s been people who have long suspected that there’s been some sort of an interface, ‘yet to be defined’ interface, between what’s being injected in these shots and all of the 5G towers.” 5G is the next generation of high-speed wireless technology. The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) responded that “we find the statements included material misinformation, personal perspectives without support of evidence or scientific foundation, and are not consistent with the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine.” It added, “The AOA urges all Americans to get the COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine is a scientific achievement that has saved countless lives. We strongly support the evidence affirming the safety of vaccine technology and reject unsubstantiated claims to the contrary." When I published a column about the Cuban people marching for freedom and access to life-saving vaccines, I got this message (with expletives deleted): YOU LYING PIECE OF S---. PEOPLE OF CUBA ARE NOT CALLING OUT FOR VACCINES U LYING F--- - THEY R SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM ---HOLE. FREEDOM. SO F--- OFF WITH YOUR LYING BULLS--- PROPAGANDA & SHOVE IT UP YOUR ---. Not too long after I got the message about my column on Cubans marching for vaccines, I was informed by another anti-vaxxer that a study had concluded that people opposed to the vaccines were “highly informed,” “scientifically literate,” and “sophisticated.” I think that is true for some people. But I did some research and found messages referring to “ALL VACCINES ARE POISON,” “VACCINE DEATH SQUADS,” and “FOOD DESTROYING CABALS OF SATANIC DEMONS.” And this one: RUSSIA HAS NOT BROKEN OUT WITH COVID19 BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ROLL OUT 5G IN THAT COUNTRY. RADIATION FROM 5G IS WHAT'S KILLING EVERYONE & THEY PUT POISON IN THE LATEST VACCINE TO FINISH OFF THE JOB. In fact, Russia is reporting skyrocketing cases of Covid. In regard to 5G, a Russian state media entity now known as RT aired a story about its alleged dangers back in 2019. Watch it here. The Russians want Americans to believe this so China can dominate the 5G wireless communications market. Thanks to Trump, Chinese company Huawei’s emerging dominance of emerging 5G telecommunications technology was reversed. As people know, I have been a long-time proponent of vaccine safety and freedom of choice. I founded and ran the Committee to Protect Medical Freedom and held a news conference opposing a mandatory HIV/AIDS vaccine. I know the risks and benefits of various vaccines. The government has botched the roll-out of several vaccines, costing lives. That’s why I have consistently supported and given a media platform to such people as Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center. She is a citizen vaccine safety and informed consent advocate who does careful research and does not seek to provoke or inflame people. I was coming back from Italy with my family in February 2020 and became ill. I thought it was a bad flu. Later I learned about Covid and thought back to all the Chinese tourists in Italy during our trip. That would have been the time the disease was spreading to Europe. I'm not sure what happened to me. But it was a warning. When the China virus vaccines were in production and being offered to people, I did several shows with critics of the vaccines being developed. But as the death toll from the pandemic was rising, and the Chinese government was caught lying about where the virus came from and how dangerous it was, I took a second look, concluding that the vaccines developed by President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed project using new mRNA technology had a solid chance of working and saving lives. I think the evidence demonstrates that has been the case. I got the Pfizer vaccine and had no side-effects. Trump, at the recent 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.” Yet, many of my columns defending the vaccines have been censored by conservative web sites or slapped with disclaimers intended to make it seem my views are controversial. I respect those who weigh the evidence. Some fear the vaccine more than the virus. But censorship on either side is not the answer. In a new statement on the matter, former President Trump said, “Joe Biden kept talking about how good of a job he's doing on the distribution of the Vaccine that was developed by Operation Warp Speed or, quite simply, the Trump Administration. He's not doing well at all. He's way behind schedule, and people are refusing to take the Vaccine because they don't trust his Administration, they don't trust the Election results, and they certainly don't trust the Fake News, which is refusing to tell the Truth.” In short, some people fear the Biden Administration more than the virus. The Biden Administration has only itself to blame. Its heavy-handed efforts at censorship will only backfire. That fact leads people to believe the federal government does not want the pandemic to end and instead wants to reimpose mask requirements and vaccine mandates. In the end, as the cases mount and the unvaccinated continue to resist, the government will win. A federal judge has already upheld Indiana’s University’s vaccine mandate and requirements. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE JULY 13, 2021 This Administration is deeply dedicated to addressing racial injustice and inequities at home and abroad. On the global stage, the United States is leading by example. Last month, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights released a report on racism and police brutality against Africans and people of African descent at the hands of law enforcement around the world, which includes examination of such cases in the United States. As the President has repeatedly made clear, great nations such as ours do not hide from our shortcomings; they acknowledge them openly and strive to improve with transparency. In so doing, we not only work to set the standard for national responses to these challenges, we also strengthen our democracy, and give new hope and motivation to human rights defenders across the globe. It is in this context that the United States intends to issue a formal, standing invitation to all UN experts who report and advise on thematic human rights issues. As a first step, we have reached out to offer an official visit by the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism and the UN Special Rapporteur on minority issues. I also welcome the UN Human Rights Council’s adoption today in Geneva of a resolution to address systemic racism against Africans and people of African descent in the context of law enforcement. I look forward to engaging with the new mechanism to advance racial justice and equity. Responsible nations must not shrink from scrutiny of their human rights record; rather, they should acknowledge it with the intent to improve. I urge all UN member states to join the United States in this effort, and confront the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia. Because when all people – regardless of their race or ethnicity – are free to live up to their full potential, our collective security is strengthened. Statement from Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen on Today’s Agreement of 130 Countries to Support a Global Minimum Tax for the World’s Largest Corporations
U.S. Department of the Treasury sent this bulletin at 07/01/2021 11:41 AM EDT U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Public Affairs Press Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 1, 2021 Contact: Alexandra LaManna; P[email protected] Statement from Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen on Today’s Agreement of 130 Countries to Support a Global Minimum Tax for the World’s Largest Corporations Today is an historic day for economic diplomacy. For decades, the United States has participated in a self-defeating international tax competition, lowering our corporate tax rates only to watch other nations lower theirs in response. The result was a global race to the bottom: Who could lower their corporate rate further and faster? No nation has won this race. Lower tax rates have not only failed to attract new businesses, they have also deprived countries of funding for important investments like infrastructure, education, and efforts to combat the pandemic. In the United States, this agreement will ensure that corporations shoulder a fair share of that burden. Today’s agreement by 130 countries representing more than 90 percent of global GDP is a clear sign: the race to the bottom is one step closer to coming to an end. In its place, America will enter a competition that we can win; one judged on the skill of our workers and the strength of our infrastructure. We have a chance now to build a global and domestic tax system that lets American workers and businesses compete and win in the world economy. President Biden has spoken about a “foreign policy for the middle class,” and today’s agreement is what that looks like in practice. (Headline screen grab from Business Insider) Street Protests and Gun Violence Threatened Over China Virus Vaccines By Cliff Kincaid – July 14, 2021 If you want to understand what Biden and the Democrats are setting up in the streets of America, in the planned confrontation with anti-vaxxers, look to France, where violent protests are taking pace over President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to require a COVID-19 vaccine certificate. As noted by various news agencies, protesters are fighting police over Macron’s plan to fight a rapid surge in new coronavirus infections by locating and isolating those too selfish to take the vaccines and protect others. Here, one popular “conservative” website is already warning of “Biden brownshirts” using government pressure on people to take the shots. One story actually carried a headline about the extermination of conservatives but noted that the U.S. Covid-vaccinated percentage is still under 50%, “leaving too many Americans with guns and land that the CDC/CCP can’t kill off so easily." This threat of violence, with the reference to guns, is exactly what could be coming, as some people are now brainwashed into believing the vaccines are biological weapons, when the fact is that the weapon is the virus itself. As U.S. COVID-19 cases have doubled over three weeks, the unvaccinated are being blamed. The hospitals are filling up, once again, with people suffering from Covid-19 because they thought they could get back to business as usual by shunning the vaccines. Operating on the basis of lies and disinformation, some irresponsible conservative websites such as News With Views are telling Trump voters not to trust the Trump Warp Speed vaccines because the virus doesn’t exist. Ironically, the anti-vaxxers in America are making a looming confrontation possible, feeding into Biden plans to go house to house getting people to take the shot. As we see in France, it appears that both sides are coming together in a confrontation that will only play to the political benefit of the Biden Administration and serve to confirm left-wing media claims that Trump people are “extremists” who should be rounded up and jailed. In such a confrontation, conservatives taking the virus seriously and getting vaccinated to protect themselves and others will reluctantly side with public health authorities, mostly at the state level, as they impose new lockdowns after issuing emergency decrees. The resistance to the vaccines can be found mostly among Republicans. All of this is predictable and will be exploited not only by the power-hungry Democrats eager to use the disease for political purposes, but anti-vaxxer web sites generating viewers and “clicks” by scaring people unnecessarily. In this instance, conservatives who have a bias in favor of personal freedom and choice will not go along with the anti-vaxxers if such a development occurs because they realize the evidence is overwhelming that it’s the unvaccinated making the Covid-19 problem more of a threat to human health again. There is simply no dispute, when the evidence is seriously considered, that the unvaccinated are bearing the brunt, the overwhelming majority, of the new hospitalizations and deaths. This is why governmental and other pressures are being brought to bear on them to get vaccinated. As a confrontation brews, the government will be able to cite legal precedents for imposing or defending official restrictions on the movements of those refusing the shots. In a nutshell, as a Congressional Research Service (CRS) study shows, governments at the state and local levels have the power and legal authority to require vaccinations. Based on a Supreme Court precedent, “states and localities have enacted vaccination mandates for certain populations and circumstances.” This means trouble for those resisting the Covid-19 vaccinations, possibly leading to the kind of violence we are now seeing in France. But this is exactly what Biden wants. Such a development would play into the hands of those insisting there are too many “extremists” in America and that the government must teach them a lesson by identifying and isolating them. That’s the Macron playbook in France, and we would have to be foolish to think it won’t happen here. In France, with the government facing anti-vaxxer protests, the police were called in, using tear gas on demonstrators in several French cities. In France, as we are likely to see here, when protesters take to the streets, doctors and scientists will defend government repression by citing more hospital admissions from the increase in delta variant infections. In France, the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Pharmacy issued a statement declaring citizens had an “obligation” to get vaccinated. It said that while “different informative and incentive approaches have been developed with people still reluctant to take the Covid-19 vaccine,” their impact has been inconclusive. As a result, cases are rising, and the health authorities are now discussing the possibility of legislation relating to “compulsory vaccination.” In the same way, as Covid-19 cases in America surge, promising more disease and death, one can anticipate anti-vaxxers taking to the streets, insisting they have the right to refuse a vaccine and infect others. Local governments will respond, citing the need to protect public health, by deploying police against the demonstrators. In this way, as the aforementioned story suggests, people are supposed to believe that the Communist Party of China (CCP) is somehow behind the CDC push for mass vaccination, when the evidence shows that China (and Russia) have been trying to discredit the Trump Warp Speed vaccine project because it is so successful and holds out so much promise for people here and around the world to survive the pandemic and return to normal lives. If there is anything which serves the interest of Red China, it is the failure of a vaccination program in the U.S., leaving more people vulnerable to variants of the China virus. This is how China keeps the U.S. from reasserting itself on the global stage and getting the American people back to work. William Evanina, who was Trump’s director of the U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center, revealed that China and Russia were trying to “disrupt” the supply chain for Trump’s Operation Warp Speed vaccines by using cyberattacks on vaccine makers. Analysts said China and Russia did not have the companies with the expertise and ingenuity to make the vaccines quickly and effectively. So their alternative was to try to disrupt and delay the American companies involved in the effort. The Cuban regime is another basket case when it comes to making vaccines, as we have seen demonstrations in many different cities on the communist island not only protesting the dictatorship but the lack of vaccines to save lives. Here, people have the luxury of biding their time, while they cash their government stimulus checks and complain non-stop about why they should not take the best vaccines in the world. This reflects the Luddite or anti-technology mind-set that China and Russia have been seeking to impose on the United States. Strangely, these conservatives are driving themselves crazy with “End Times” and “Mark of the Beast” nonsense that makes them paranoid about saving their own lives.
Cubans Demand Vaccines Rejected by Trump Supporters By Cliff Kincaid – July 13, 2021 The people of Cuba are marching FOR Covid-19 vaccines. Here, Tucker and Laura question the effectiveness of American-made vaccines, and some Americans decline them, playing Russian roulette. Here's from the Wall Street Journal:
Here's from the Miami Herald:
USA Today reported:
A Florida TV station reports:
National Public Radio reports:
NBC reports:
No wonder the Cubans want vaccines. Not the ones promised by the Communist regime, but those made by American firms. Senator Marco Rubio notes, “Rather than accept reliable internationally produced vaccines, the regime is trying to develop its own so it can sell to countries and further funnel money.” Let this message sink in. Former President Trump says, “The only way we defeat the China Virus is with our great vaccines!” But many of his supporters don’t agree. They have turned against their beloved leader, the former president. In today’s world of conservative journalism, where clicks mean views and bad news sells, paranoia and pandering on the matter of the Trump Warp Speed vaccines have taken charge, poisoning minds and threatening lives. In today’s conservative media, pro-Trumpers have become anti-Trumpers on the matter of vaccines. Consider that conservatives like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have become the faces of the anti-vaccine movement. They seem to be competing for bad news to convey to their millions of viewers. The result is that people are scared of the vaccines but not the virus, even as the virus variants infect more people and take more lives. Ironically, several Fox News stars recorded a public service announcement (PSA) in favor of the vaccines. Harris Faulkner, Steve Doocy, Dana Perino and John Roberts joined together in asking Americans to “keep up the fight” against COVID-19 by taking the shot. In the Fox News COVID vaccine PSA, Doocy says, “America, we’re in this together.” The political tragedy for the Republican Party is that the antics of Tucker and Laura are making Trump’s Warp Speed vaccine project look bad in front of his own supporters. As someone who has taken the vaccine and believes it offers freedom from disease and death, I am hearing from them. Some are now saying Trump has “blood on his hands” for making vaccines available to the American people. Democrats are watching this with glee. They see the Republican Party divided and exploding in turmoil over the vaccines. At the same time, Joe Biden is exploiting Trump’s accomplishment, acting as if the vaccines were his idea, and that he deserves credit for saving lives. All of this represents a political vulnerability for Republicans, many of whom are not only “vaccine hesitant” but hesitant to give Trump credit for an amazing accomplishment. The additional tragedy is the amount of misinformation that is available on conservative web sites. Of course, people should be free to make up their own minds. But when they repeat or accept information that is false, that’s a serious matter in contemplating a potential life and death decision. For the umpteenth time, I have read that the China virus has not been isolated and therefore doesn’t exist. The claim is absolute insanity and suggests that their leader, former President Trump, has been lying. “The CDC has been unable to deliver a single sample of an isolated COVID19 strain,” says one “Lex Greene,” said to be “an avid historian with many years’ professional experience in U.S. and World events.” It’s a tragic joke that will get people killed. Somebody with that much experience and knowledge should identify himself. His column appears at the News With Views website, which runs my factually-based columns with “disclaimers” about them being my opinion. I have the benefit of consulting real experts. I asked Col. Lawrence Sellin, an expert, about the dangers. He replied, “It is a virus. It has been isolated and we have a sequence for it. And the sequence has been examined not once but twice but thousands of times. The samples are taken throughout the world. We know what the sequence is. We know it’s mutating.” Sellin also believes in the vaccines. “I’m pro-vaccine,” he says. He adds, however, that it’s a personal decision and that people should not be forced to take the vaccine because some have greater risks than others. I agree. But the idea that the virus has not been identified or isolated is just plain false. It is beyond irresponsible for web sites to publish fiction as fact. Pandering to the fringe who doubt the vaccines is standard operating procedure. It is increasingly difficult for facts to be published in the conservative media about the benefits of vaccines. Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham seem to be competing over pursuing new leads about questions regarding the vaccines. For the record, here’s the CDC website that discusses the isolation of the virus. It says, “SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was isolated in the laboratory and is available for research by the scientific and medical community.” It’s the isolation of the virus that has made possible the vaccines to fight and defeat it. It’s no wonder those who think the virus doesn’t exist are opposed to the vaccines. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org Anti-Vaccine Sentiment Could Sink the GOP
By Cliff Kincaid – July 12, 2021 The far-left MoveOn group is warning Democrats that Republicans are heavily favored to win back the House in 2022. However, the organization is promising “effective new strategies for persuading undecided voters and turning out Democratic voters who don't always show up for nonpresidential elections.” On this basis, the Democrats can maintain control of the House and Senate. One strategy is to depict Republicans as opponents of scientific progress by opposing life-saving vaccines to protect America from the China virus and turn our country around economically. Fear of the disease, in other words, will “trump” fear of the vaccine. And that is the Democrats’ winning strategy. Opponents of the vaccines will be portrayed as enemies of the people. This strategy will elect Democrats over Republicans. I put “trump” in quotes because it was President Trump who launched the highly successful Operation Warp Speed vaccine strategy that has enabled America to turn the corner against the Chinese bioweapon. Yet the sad fact is that Trump voters are leading the opposition to taking the Trump vaccines. With a Covid variant making inroads and threatening more suffering and death in Republican states, the Democrats see a political advantage developing. In a bizarre twist, they will use the deaths of unvaccinated Republicans to elect Democrats. They will use the anti-vaccine sentiment as a political weapon against Republicans in 2022 and 2024. One factor in Republican opposition to the vaccines is “distrust in government,” according to polls. One can understand this distrust. Conservatives don’t like federal intrusion into private and personal affairs. But in this case the vaccines resulted from the determination of a conservative Republican president, Donald J. Trump, to mount a response to the Chinese bioweapon attack on America and our people. Trump cut through the federal bureaucracy and bypassed the federal medical establishment to pressure pharmaceutical companies to use modern vaccine technology to protect Americans. Not only did the technology protect and save millions of people, it’s being discussed as a possible response to other diseases such as cancer. It’s being called the mRNA revolution. With dramatic developments on the horizon, potentially benefitting victims of different diseases, the Democrats will be telling America that Republicans are standing in the way of progress for all of humanity. Republicans will be blamed for the next series of lockdowns that seem inevitable if the Covid variants continue to spread. In this context, Republican writer Marc A. Thiessen has an interesting column on Trump’s role in producing the vaccines, noting that the Biden Administration doesn’t want to give the former president credit for saving lives. “Today,” he notes, “it is Trump supporters who are most likely to remain unvaccinated. The 20 U.S. states with the highest vaccination rates all voted for Biden in 2020. Meanwhile, most of the 22 states with the lowest vaccination rates went for Trump – including almost all of the states with vaccination rates below 50%.” Rather than go house to house to persuade people to get vaccinated, which is the Biden approach, Thiessen suggests, “If Biden wants to convince those Americans to get immunized, he should remind them that Operation Warp Speed – the greatest public health achievement in human history – was also the greatest achievement of the Trump presidency. Trump invested about $10 billion in six vaccine candidates – purchasing hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines before they were proven, and clearing away regulatory hurdles. All three vaccines that eventually received FDA approval received critical support from his administration.” Biden wants confrontations with the unvaccinated to make Republicans look like extremists. Those conservatives and Christians who have considered the matter seriously favor the vaccines. Consider the Christian group, Liberty HealthShare, which is sponsoring this weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Under the rules of this Christian organization, “COVID-19 vaccines can be shared according to our current sharing guidelines…” The Christian group features an interview with former FDA commissioner Peter Pitts, who tells the members, “I plan to get vaccinated and I want to get vaccinated as early as possible. All the vaccines that are going through the FDA will be safe and over 95% effective.” The interview also includes these exchanges: Q. Do those who are young and healthy need to get the vaccine? Yes, if you are young and healthy and you become infected with COVID-19, you will probably have a mild impact, similar to the flu or you may be asymptomatic. However, this doesn't mean that you cannot transmit the disease. One of the important things to understand about vaccines is that it protects you as an individual, as well as everyone around you. We are all in this together and vaccines play an incredibly important role in keeping our nation healthy. Q. If someone has had COVID-19 already, should they still get the vaccine? Yes. If you've had COVID-19 once, you can get it again. There are many instances where people have had it and gotten it a second time. “We're going to beat the pandemic because of pharmaceutical innovation,” says Pitts, the former FDA commissioner. He adds that “…the ecosystem for private sector innovation has long been a powerful force in the United States in the development of breakthrough treatments and cures.” All of this is now in jeopardy because many Trump supporters are reluctant to take the Trump Warp Speed vaccines. They are threatening the lives of their friends, neighbors, and family members. And that gives Democrats the hope of reversing the political trends and maintaining control of Congress in 2022 and the White House in 2024. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org Vaccines Mean Freedom from Disease By Cliff Kincaid - July 10, 2021 While Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham of Fox News are leading the anti-vaccine contingent at Fox News, making people even more paranoid than they already are, competitor Newsmax is bringing people the factual and responsible point of view – vaccines mean freedom from disease and death. Appearing on Newsmax, a responsible voice was raised, as President Trump’s Surgeon General Jerome Adams emphasized that Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence and nearly every Republican governor have gotten their shots, and that's because they know “this is how we safely reopen and get our freedom back.” He noted the evidence that the vaccines are 95 to 99% effective at preventing severe hospitalization and death. In a video from a hospital bed, 42-year-old Russell Taylor discussed why he didn’t think he needed the vaccine, only to get Covid and become severely ill, spending several weeks in the hospital. Now he says, “I'm would definitely get the vaccine.” One study finds that vaccinations have saved 279,000 lives and prevented as many as 1.25 million hospitalizations Yet, almost 55% of Americans are still not fully vaccinated, meaning more hospitalizations and deaths are inevitable. So-called vaccine hesitancy, egged on by Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, is being blamed for more Covid cases, with almost half the states seeing a rise in cases. In this way, these Fox stars are joining with the Chinese and Russian media claiming that the Western-made vaccines are dangerous to human health and must be resisted. But a CNBC analysis shows that Covid cases, adjusted for population, have remained elevated in at least six of the world’s most inoculated countries -- and five of those nations rely on vaccines from China. The Chinese vaccines do not work as well as the American vaccines commissioned by President Trump A case involving a Covid outbreak in the County Administration Building in Manatee County, Florida, is revealing. County Administrator Dr. Scott Hopes said in a news release that an internal examination of the Covid cases among the county's workforce “impacted only people who were not vaccinated.” He explained, “Individual employees in the IT Department who were known to be fully vaccinated and who were in close proximity of those who were infected did not contract COVID-19.” The talking heads on Fox think they are pandering to Trump’s base of conservative voters by attacking the safety and effectiveness of he vaccines. But they are risking the lives of people suffering in isolation and fear of the vaccines. The evidence shows a Covid variant is spreading in the states with the lowest vaccination rates. What the American people deserve are the facts. We are in desperate straits and we need complete and unfettered access to the truth. Referring to one state in particular, Louisiana, Dr. John Vanchiere, Director of COVID-19 Testing and Vaccinations for LSU Health Shreveport, said, “We haven’t vaccinated enough to stop the emergence of variants.” He added, “98 percent of all hospitalizations, and deaths and new infections in this country are in people who are unvaccinated. Vaccines work, no doubt about it.” In North Carolian, more than 99-percent of new COVID-19 cases in May and June occurred in people who weren’t fully vaccinated, according to state data cited by local TV station CBS17 in Raleigh. The figures about hospitalizations and deaths among the unvaccinated are difficult to get into the hands of the people that need the shots and who are suffering and dying. Appealing to Republicans, many of whom are skeptical of the vaccines, talking heads like Carlson and Ingraham are carrying stories almost every night about some alleged problem with taking the shots. The result is that people fear the vaccine more than the virus, and they are getting Covid, suffering, and in many cases dying. That’s what the numbers show. Today, in Dallas, a regional Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is being held, without masks, thanks to Trump’s Warp Speed Vaccines. Trump is speaking. Another speaker, Rep. Ronny Jackson, physician to the President during the Obama and Trump Administrations. is a sponsor of House Resolution 266, recognizing “the efforts of the Trump Administration and Operation Warp Speed in the development of the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) vaccine.” Another Republican doctor, Representative Larry Bucshon, MD (IN), of the House GOP Doctors Caucus, recorded a video explaining why he was vaccinated against Covid. He says the best way “to end government restrictions on our freedoms is to take action and get the vaccine.” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, considered a possible GOP presidential candidate in 2024, has been vaccinated. And he, too, uses the pro-freedom message, saying, “Get a vaccine. It works.”
The Rise and Fall of Tucker Carlson By Cliff Kincaid – July 9, 2021 Tucker Carlson has become a Johnny one-note, pandering to those isolated and living in fear of the China virus vaccines. These are the modern Luddites, so consumed by fear of technological progress that they buy into the notion that they can somehow naturally overcome the effects of the Chinese bioweapon by taking vitamins. The evidence shows that the vast majority of recent hospitalizations and deaths are in the unvaccinated. Consider the tragic case of a 45-year-old Missouri mom who was so scared of vaccine side-effects that she died of Covid. In Maryland, my home state, Gov. Larry Hogan says the unvaccinated accounted for 100% of Covid-related deaths in June, 95% of all new cases and 93% of hospitalizations. Still, Tucker is harping on the alleged dangers of the vaccines. You can be sure the Democratic Party is watching all of this and taking notes, preparing to stigmatize conservatives as Neanderthals who impeded progress during the pandemic. This will be the Democrats’ winning issue in 2022 and Republicans don’t seem to know what’s coming. The public will turn on the Republicans as obstructionists who prolonged suffering and death. The anti-vaccine movement will be depicted as a cult, out of step with their own leader, former President Trump, who deserves credit for rushing the vaccines to a successful conclusion in record time. When he’s not knocking the highly successful Trump Warp Speed vaccines, Tucker is featuring Edward Snowden enabler Glenn Greenwald, now in the lucrative business of being a thorn in the side to his former colleagues on the left. It’s getting tiresome. Greenwald is not the kind of person who should be featured on a so-called conservative news channel. But having left his left-wing colleagues behind, striking out on his own to make tons of money through the Substack social media platform, Tucker has become his ticket to fame and fortune. Fox Business reports that Greenwald is making $80,000 and $160,000 every month from his newsletter on Substack. Tucker has made it possible. . We have discovered, thanks to his own disclosures, that Tucker was under NSA surveillance. It turns out the surveillance was a result of his contacts with pro-Putin Russian operatives trying to arrange an interview with the former KGB colonel. Tucker portrays himself as an innocent victim. But the controversy brings up another blind spot for Tucker – his unwillingness or inability to recognize Vladimir Putin as any kind of threat to the United States. His proposed interview with Putin would have been a series of soft balls. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the NSA would have come into possession of his emails. The truly alarming aspect of the story is why Tucker’s name was revealed and who in the Biden Administration did the “unmasking.” I agree this is wrong and illegal. But Tucker should have told us more about his Russian connections. Conservatives should be alarmed by Tucker’s increasing reliance on Glenn Greenwald as a reliable source of information. Greenwald assisted NSA/CIA defector Edward Snowden in moving to Russia to be protected by Putin’s thugs. He defected to Russia through Chinese Hong Kong. Snowden disclosed NSA capabilities in cyber warfare and is charged with espionage. He’s probably responsible for sophisticated Russian cyber warfare capabilities today that have targeted our pipelines and businesses. Lt. Gen Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, called the Snowden affair “a well-prepared Russian intelligence operation” against the United States and concluded that Snowden was “an agent of the Russian foreign intelligence service.” Greenwald made it possible. I wrote about all of this in my book, Blood on His Hands: The True Story of Edward Snowden. Pacepa died from Covid-19, a Chinese bioweapon. His colleague, Ronald J. Rychlak, Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law, told me, “Pacepa took the threat of the virus seriously. He and his 92-year-old wife tried to avoid the risk as best they could. The virus prevented at least one, probably two meetings he and I would have had over the past year. It also stopped my research in Rome for the second edition of Disinformation that we were working on.” The book’s full title was, Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism. All of this disinformation is being brought to bear on the debate over Covid-19 and the vaccines. It is resulting in more lives lost to the virus. In the case of the deceased Missouri mom, who failed to get vaccinated, her own mother said, “She was afraid of the side effects [of the vaccine], I think. You hear a lot of horror stories. I, myself, when I had the shot, it was rough, so it scared her and freaked her out. So she didn’t want to do it. I couldn’t convince her.” The deceased mother caught the virus from her son, who got it at his junior high school. All of a sudden, Alex Berenson, who wrote a good book on the dangers of marijuana, has popped up with frequency on Tucker’s show to pontificate on the virus. I can’t figure out why he has become such an expert on Covid. He’s a journalist, but that doesn’t necessarily qualify him as an expert on this or that. His marijuana book was heavily documented. His pamphlets on Covid are very thin and rushed into print to take advantage of public concern and hysteria. Tucker is happy to oblige. Now, following Greenwald’s lead, he’s making money on Substack. He doesn’t even advertise his marijuana book anymore, preferring to claim he’s on top of “unreported truths” and writing a book about Covid called PANDEMIA. A “founding member” has to spend $300.00 a year to subscribe to his writings. Tucker can make these people rich through exposure on his show and he’s making millions as well. But he is risking the survival of his program by rushing to judgment and pandering to a small segment of his audience that thinks the Trump Warp Speed vaccines were a Tony Fauci plot. He’s risking the health and well-being of his audience. At this stage in the pandemic, with more than 600,000 Americans dead, it’s clear the new vaccine technology endorsed by Trump holds out the hope of defeating this dangerous super-virus and returning our nation to a period of normalcy. That’s why Trump has repeatedly urged adults to take the vaccine. But Tucker is standing in the way of progress. He has become a leading anti-Trump figure in the media when he should be thanking Trump and getting his own jab on national TV. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org How Trump Saved America from the China Virus By Cliff Kincaid – July 7, 2021 In a carefully orchestrated political trap, Joe Biden is threatening to send government workers house to house to try to get Trump supporters to take the Trump Warp Speed China virus vaccines. This strange turn of events tells you everything you need to know about why the Trump movement is in disarray and on defense. They don’t trust their leader, former President Trump, who has repeatedly urged people (except youngsters) to take the vaccines. Trump, whose Operation Warp Speed saved America from the butchers of Beijing, is now trying to save the lives of his own supporters, who won’t answer the door if Biden’s operatives start knocking. Biden’s backers are counting on confrontations in order to make Trump supporters look bad. Tragically, many Trump supporters are buying the nonsense that the Supreme Court will eventually rule 9-0 to put Trump back in the White House while objecting to his life-saving Warp Speed vaccines as killers. It’s the modern equivalent of a prophet without honor. Please, Trump supporters, get a grip on reality. The vaccines are working and are the envy of the world. Here’s what Maryland, my home state, is reporting for June:
The same thing is being reported in other states, such as Wisconsin, where the Milwaukee Journal reports that 95% of those who've died from COVID-19 since March weren't vaccinated or fully vaccinated. In Minnesota, reports the St. Paul Pioneer Press, “Nearly all new Minnesota COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths were among the unvaccinated.” In the face of this evidence, many people resist the vaccines. Hence, the Biden White House says the federal government “will start targeted community door-to-door outreach in an effort to boost COVID-19 vaccination rates,” as reported by the Epoch Times. “Joe Biden just announced government goons will go DOOR-TO-DOOR to make you take a COVID-19 vaccine,” screams Trump supporter Charlie Kirk. The conservative New American magazine ran the scary headline, “Knock-knock, Have You Gotten Your COVID-19 Vaccine Yet?” These statements reflect distrust of vaccines developed by the Trump Administration, not Joe Biden. Conservative writer Leo Hohmann asks, ”What should you do when federal agents arrive at your door with questions about your personal health decisions?,” and provides some answers. One says government agents should be offered a free Trespass Warning Form. Biden’s heavy-handed effort will of course backfire. It’s reminiscent of Ronald Reagan’s joke about bureaucrats showing up and saying, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” What Biden is doing is very clever. It is a trap. He is making Trump supporters look like Neanderthals or Luddites resisting progress. One can anticipate the Democrats campaigning for Congress in 2022 and president in 2024 by arguing that Republicans were standing in the way of solving the China virus problem. Realizing the resistance to the vaccines, I spoke on Monday at Larry Klayman’s Third Continental Congress, a pro-Trump audience, and defended the shots. My speech was mostly about the national security threats to the United States, including the China virus. But I did take the opportunity to praise the vaccines. I mentioned how some of the victims of Covid-19 who have survived have suffered a loss of their sense of taste and smell, while others have long-term breathing and brain problems. This is clearly not a flu virus. Indeed, I join Larry Klayman and others in saying the evidence indicates it is a bioweapon. I think the numbers prove that the vaccines protect people against hospitalization and death. If people fear the vaccine more than the virus, they will have to accept the consequences. The problem is that other people can be infected by the unvaccinated and they have to take care of their family members who get sick and may die. Meanwhile, in South Korea, the people are demanding the vaccines as the left-wing government of President Moon Jae-in is under heavy fire for the poor vaccination rate. The conservative paper in South Korea, The Chosunilbo reports that only about 30 percent of the population have had at least their first vaccine shot and just 10.5 percent their second one. That means the lockdowns continue. The situation is so desperate that the Reuters news agency is reporting that South Korea is now negotiating with mRNA COVID-19 vaccine makers to produce as many as 1 billion doses for their country and others. The United States is far ahead of South Korea because of the wisdom of former President Trump in cutting through the bureaucracy and getting the private sector to use the developing mRNA vaccine technology to address SARS-CoV-2. Despite the clear evidence of the efficacy of the vaccines, I am still finding many conservatives who ignore their life-saving properties. Some are paying the price. Here are some of the false or misleading claims I have come across recently:
The confusion among conservatives about the lethality of this virus has given China an opportunity to divide the American people and push their own dubious vaccines (along with Russia). We should be united in demanding apologies and reparations from the Chinese. (Trump has urged $10 trillion in reparations). With America divided over the vaccines, as Trump supporters reject Trump’s signature achievement, Chinese President Xi Jinping is gloating and sees a clear pathway ahead for domination of the world. He declared on the Chinese Communist Party’s 100th anniversary, “A century ago, at the time of its founding, the Communist Party of China had just over 50 members. Today, with more than 95 million members in a country of more than 1.4 billion people, it is the largest governing party in the world and enjoys tremendous international influence.” The road to Chinese domination is littered with corpses. Bertil Haggman, director of the Center for Research on Geopolitics in Sweden, says, “The Chinese Communist Party is probably responsible for killing between 80 and 100 million people, the highest number of political killings in modern time by one party-state perpetrator.” That number doesn’t include deaths from the China virus, now reported at more than 4 million worldwide, including more than 621,000 in the U.S. Without the vaccines, millions could have died in the U.S. and our country would not be returning to a sense of normalcy. One strategy, in addition to Larry Klayman’s effort to hold the Chinese legally accountable for the virus, is to prosecute Communist mass-murderers in Nuremberg-style tribunals, just like the Nazis were punished after WW II. Thousands have joined the Appeal for Nuremberg Trials for Communism, a campaign started by the late Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky. Trump will NOT be returned to the White House next month. But his legacy includes life-saving vaccines that have made the United States the envy of the world. Trump saved many lives. But some of his strongest supporters seem not to have noticed. *Cliff Kincaid is president of America’s Survival, Inc. www.usasurvival.org |
