NOTABLE QUOTES

Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine: Sotomayor is, despite her position, no intellectual or legal scholar. Misstating “brain dead” as “dead brained” is a little too on the nose considering her borderline illiteracy and ignorance. Often described as a “bully”, Sotomayor’s legal philosophy, such as it is, is defined by emotive berating and ad hominem attacks. Like most postmodern leftists, her arguments are usually reducible to accepting or rejecting someone’s pain based on their degree of oppression.

Miranda Devine author and New York Post columnist: The first generation not to know life before cellphones, last year they became the largest generation on Earth. And by 2024, Gen Z and millennials will be the largest voting bloc. But unlike millennials, many of whom have gullibly accepted the leftist indoctrination of their elders, Gen Z is skeptical and less trusting of authority. They verify reality with their own research, and they trust their peers on social media more than established sources of information.

Aaron Siri civil rights litigator including civil rights involving mandated medicine: . . . attorney and America has some of the greatest institutions of learning and research the world has ever known.  We need all these hands on deck, both inside and outside the government, to address these serious, ongoing issues, and failings within the vaccine program.  Locking out independent scientists from addressing these issues is dangerous, irresponsible, and unethical.

Charles “Sam” Faddis  is a retired CIA operations officer, published author, and national security commentator and founder AND Magazine: There is no factual support for the idea that Omicron is a major threat and Africa must be sealed off from the world. It does not matter. Africa went its own way. It succeeded. Big Pharma’s plans to vaccinate the world and make more money than it had ever dreamed of were threatened. Big Government’s plans to use a “health emergency” to trample individual rights and force everyone into conformance with global norms were in peril. South Africa had just returned covid vaccines to Pfizer.

Dru Kristenev former newspaper publisher and contributor to Canada Free Press:   Is this what is coming down the pike for America? Coercing “unvaccinated” to play or pay is the Covid jizya of today – imposing onerous surcharges (taxes) in an engineered inflationary economy, isolating individuals and restricting freedoms of those who don’t follow the government Covid religion.

Queen: Guess Who Trump’s ‘Tax Cuts for the Rich’ Benefited the Most
There’s a refrain we hear almost by default when a Republican proposes tax cuts. Like Pavlov’s dogs or preprogrammed robots, Democrats rush out to decry “tax cuts for the rich.”  […] Well, there’s some new analysis that’s come down the pike that should make the Democrats’ heads spin. Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute reports that the 2017 Trump tax cuts actually benefitted — gasp — the middle class.Haskins writes: . . . Oh, but there’s more. The tax cuts helped people improve their standard of living — and we’re not talking about the filthy rich here: . . . And, lest you think that those robber barons in the higher echelons of American society paid less as a result of these tax cuts, you better think again: . . . That’s right. Looks like the rich “paid their fair share,” to borrow another of the left’s pet terms. So what have we learned today, kids? That when the Democrats speak about Trump’s “tax cuts for the rich,” they’re lying through their teeth.

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Greenfield: Whose Pain Matters – Babies or Child Murderers?
According to Justice Sotomayor, child killers feel pain, but children don’t. […]  Sotomayor’s denial that a baby feels pain was in sharp contrast to her passionate conviction that murderers who kill children experience pain as they recieve the death penalty. A few years ago, when Billy Ray Irick’s case came before the Supreme Court, Sotomayor was his biggest fan. Irick had beaten, raped, and murdered a 7-year-old girl, but Sotomayor furiously fought for him. “If the law permits this execution to go forward in spite of the horrific final minutes that Irick may well experience, then we have stopped being a civilized nation and accepted barbarism,” she ranted. What is barbarism anyway? Is it murdering a child in the womb or putting down a child killer?

Greenfield: Biden Admin Asks Supreme Court to Let Harvard Discriminate Against Asians
Civil rights, you know. The case is Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, while the media is crying, “Doom, doom”, SCOTUS is not all that enthusiastic about the case and, despite media claims, not all that conservative. At issue is Harvard pursuing diversity by discriminating against Asian applicants. […]  In the past few years, the case has traveled the usual circuitous route. And the Biden administration is arguing in favor of discriminating against Asians. The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday filed a petition asking . . .  Now Republicans have a sharper sales pitch for Asian voters.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in Carson v. Makin, a case that carries national implications regarding religious freedom as it relates to government-run school choice programs.

DEEP STATE

Wulfsohn: Federal judge grants Project Veritas’ request for third party to review James O’Keefe’s phones seized by FBI
The FBI raided the Project Veritas founder’s home as part of its investigation into the ‘stolen’ diary of Ashley Biden. A federal judge is siding with Project Veritas over its request for an independent party to review the cellphones the FBI seized from the group’s founder James O’Keefe.
On Wednesday, District Court Judge Analisa Torres from the Southern District of New York is ordering a “special master” to be appointed to oversee the review of O’Keefe’s devices, citing “potential First Amendment concerns.”

Siri: FDA Doubles Down: Asks Federal Judge to Grant it Until at Least the Year 2096 to Fully Release Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Data
The fed gov’t gives Pfizer billions in taxpayer money + makes Americans take its product + won’t let Americans sue for harm + shields disclosure of its licensure documents = 1984. A prior post explained that the FDA has asked a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data and information it relied upon to license Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.   Literally, a 55-year delay.  My firm, on behalf of PHMPT, asked that this information be disclosed in 108 days – the same amount of time it took for the FDA to review and license Pfizer’s vaccine. The Court ordered the parties to submit briefs in support of their respective positions by December 6, 2021.  The FDA’s brief, incredibly, doubles down.  It now effectively asks to have until at least 2096 to produce the Pfizer documents.  Not a typo.  A total of at least 75 years. Other than producing an initial ~12,000 pages in around two months, the FDA thereafter only wants to commit to producing 500 pages per month.  The FDA also disclosed that it actually has approximately at least 451,000 pages to produce.*

Rappoport: Pfizer smoking-gun secret document: their deadly COVID vaccine
Journalist Celia Farber just wrote an explosive article on the Pfizer secret document. You should read it. She deserves our thanks and gratitude. And here you can also read the document itself. In short, the Pfizer document (which was never supposed to see the light of day but was disclosed as part of a FOIA suit) describes the adverse effects from just the first three months of injections with the company’s COVID vaccine: 158,000 adverse events, 1223 deaths. In a half-sane world, this would have been more than enough to halt all injections and cancel the vaccine. I’ve queried two attorneys. They both looked at the Pfizer document and state they believe it’s authentic. The appendix of the Pfizer document is the most astonishing section. It’s beyond astonishing. It lists all the types of vaccine adverse events Pfizer logged—-again, in just three months of injections. Page after page after page after page of types of adverse events. Each type of event cast in medical language, the language of the dead. The proponents of this technical-ese speak, as it were, from beyond the grave. They’re super-educated brainwashed zombies. It’s as if they’re listing and counting abstractions in an academic board game. The abstractions raise no concerns. In the document, no one is waving red flags. They’re all medical bean counters, keeping their books with precision. Make no mistake, these are the people who are operating the levers of society on a day-to-day basis, maiming and killing with a confident attitude that indicates they are beyond reproach. The very notion of reproach is foreign to them. UPDATE: In the secret document, Pfizer does list 1,223 deaths occurring after just three months of the vaccine rollout. This should have been sufficient to cause a complete halt to the vaccination program. Finally, Pfizer admits that in the first three months of the vaccine rollout, it logged a staggering 42,086 cases of adverse reactions. And as far as I can determine from the Pfizer document, these 42,086 cases represented a total of 139,888 adverse events. In other words, in many cases, there were reports of multiple adverse events.

Burger & Erman: BioNTech, Pfizer Vaccine Neutralises Omicron With Three Shots
BioNTech and Pfizer said on Wednesday a three-shot course of their COVID-19 vaccine was able to neutralise the new Omicron variant in a laboratory test and they could deliver an upgraded vaccine in March 2022 if needed. The German and U.S. companies said two doses of their vaccine resulted in significantly lower neutralising antibodies but a third dose boosted those antibodies by a factor of 25. “The first line of defence, with two doses of vaccination, might be compromised and three doses of vaccination are required to restore protection,” BioNTech Chief Medical Officer Ozlem Tuereci said at a press conference. The companies suggested that two doses may still protect against severe disease. BioNTech and Pfizer are the first manufacturers of a COVID vaccine to issue an official update on the efficacy of their shot against Omicron. […] “We believe this is the right way to go particularly if the Omicron is now spreading further, to enable a better level of protection in the winter season,” Sahin said.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL

Housler: Fauci Recommends Asking Family Members For Vaccine Proof Before Holiday Celebrations
Fauci said that getting vaccinated means you can enjoy family gatherings indoors again, and said “that’s the reason why people should, if they invite people over their home, essentially ask and maybe require that people show evidence that they are vaccinated, or give their honest and good faith word that they have been vaccinated.” Fauci also said Wednesday that he believes the definition of being fully vaccinated will inevitably change.

Faddis: Why Is Omicron Such A Big Deal? Because Africa Must Be Punished.
Omicron was first detected in Southern Africa. At least eight African nations in that region have now been sealed off from the rest of the world via travel bans. It may soon no longer be safe to go outside. What you may not know is that all indications are that the symptoms of Omicron are very mild. No one anywhere has yet died of this variant. So, why the sudden move by the United States and other Western powers to seal off big chunks of Africa? Since when is a disease that produces mild, flu-like symptoms a threat to the world? Why? Since Africa had the temerity to defy the orders of the government-corporate cabal that decided two years ago only vaccination would be accepted as a way out of this pandemic. Because Africa and its success in fighting COVID largely without vaccines threaten the legitimacy of that entire house of cards.
Almost 80% of the people in Africa have not received a single dose of any vaccine against COVIDOnly 7.5% of the population of the continent is fully vaccinated.

Edwards, M.D.: A Call Out to Physicians
So now, in current times, we have doctors refusing to see “unvaccinated” people.  Really? That is the hill these physicians want to die on? We have an experimental gene therapy which did not go through full proper testing, underwent data manipulation so they could get their precious EUA, and doesn’t do anything it is supposed to.  On top of that, it is seemingly harming, both directly through injury and indirectly through immune weakness, lots of innocent people.  And these supposedly “trained” doctors, because they are too scared to stand up to administration and their peers, are not only allowing this disaster to be carried out, but actually arguing with patients about the purported benefit of the therapy. It doesn’t take long to find out that safety has been shelved and replaced by profit motives.  Why is there no data safety review board? Why are the drug companies and the government (in other words, the industry) the ones reviewing their own investigations? The safety review board should be independent, and beyond reproach.  This is not happening.  When finally asked to review VAERS deaths, the drug companies and government said that not a single death was from the vaccine.  That included people who went into cardiac arrest at the vaccination center!  I can guarantee that no independent reviewer would have come to the same conclusion.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Xuanzun: PLA’s new-type bomber practices island bombing, mine-laying in S.China Sea
The H-6J, the latest type of bomber to enter service with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, recently participated in a live-fire exercise in the South China Sea, practicing bomb dropping on islands and sea mine-laying, which analysts said on Sunday displayed the aircraft’s traditional bombing capability in addition to its standoff strike competence. […]  Also carrying YJ-12 anti-ship missiles under its wings in addition to bombs and sea mines in its belly, the H-6J bomber took part in the drill, according to the CCTV report. This type of aircraft was officially revealed by China’s Defense Ministry only last year.The drill showed that the H-6J maintains its traditional bombing capability, even though it can also be armed with standoff weapons like anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles, a Beijing-based military expert who requested anonymity told the Global Times on Sunday.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

Toameh: Arabs to Biden: Do Not Let Iran Play You for a Fool
On the eve of the resumption of the Iran nuclear talks in Vienna, Arabs have again warned the Biden administration against being duped by the mullahs of Tehran. The Arabs, who share Israel’s concern over Iran’s accelerated efforts (and deceptive tactics) to achieve nuclear weapons, also warned the Biden administration against reaching a temporary deal that would give Iran more time to proceed with its disastrous and dangerous plans. “Undoubtedly, a temporary nuclear agreement, if it is implemented, reflects the failure of the policy of President Biden’s administration, which announced that it would seek a wider, stronger and more comprehensive agreement,” wrote Saudi writer and political analyst Yahya Talidi. Talidi pointed out that the US administration seems confused because of its changing policy priorities and objectives in the Middle East, “which reflects a lack of interest in strengthening and factors of stability and security in the region.” The previous nuclear agreement in 2015, he added, was a failure.

Burroughs: California Announces Plans To Become Abortion Sanctuary, Considers Covering Abortion Costs For Out-Of-State Residents
“The California Future of Abortion Council, made up of more than 40 abortion providers and advocacy groups, released a list of 45 recommendations for the state to consider if the high court overturns Roe v. Wade,” The Associated Press reported on Wednesday. The group, started by California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, plans to include some of the recommendations in his January state budget proposal, according to the report. “We’ll be a sanctuary,” Newsom said, adding he’s aware patients will likely travel to California from other states to seek abortions. “We are looking at ways to support that inevitability and looking at ways to expand our protections.”
