Adam Mill contributor to American Greatness: Hundreds of thousands of Americans died from COVID, some of whom might have lived if social media hadn’t blocked legitimate information about therapeutics. When COVID finally abates, they will no longer be able to justify censorship to “protect” public health. Let the lawsuits begin.

Robert Malone MD, MS in his Substack blog compared countries that used ivermectin to treat COVID against three who banned its use: For fun, I took the countries that reportedly use Ivermectin country-wide and compared them to the USA, Israel and Sweden. I chose a three month cut-off, although the results were extended further. I did this because I don’t know when some of the countries began ivermectin use. Can you guess who now has the highest death rates per million? Yeh –  !. USA 2. Israel 3. Sweden.

Colin Wright contributor to the WSJ: The effort to resist gender ideology is reality’s last stand. We simply can’t ignore fundamental realities of our biology and expect positive outcomes for society. Pronoun rituals are extremely effective at normalizing and institutionalizing the abolition of biological sex in favor of gender identity. These rituals take advantage of people’s confusion and compassion to achieve compliance. But the time for politeness has long passed. The only proper response to the question “What are your pronouns?” is to reject the premise and refuse to answer.

Joe Allen transhumanism editor on Bannons War Room: By the end of this year, Musk hopes to have the first Neuralink chips implanted in human heads. At first, this brain-computer interface will allow quadriplegics to control digital devices, such as their smartphones. Over the long haul, Musk figures that anybody who’s anybody will want one. After all, if Tesla succeeds in creating an AI Computer God—or if Google does, or Facebook, or Microsoft, or Baidu, or Alibaba—any human without a brain trode risks becoming a “house cat” to the gods. Or maybe fuel.

GROWING THE SURVEILLANCE STATE

Joe Mullin: It’s Back: Senators Want EARN IT Bill to Scan All Online Messages
People don’t want outsiders reading their private messages —not their physical mail, not their texts, not their DMs, nothing. It’s a clear and obvious point, but one place it doesn’t seem to have reached is the U.S. Senate. A group of lawmakers led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have re-introduced the EARN IT Act, an incredibly unpopular bill from 2020 that was dropped in the face of overwhelming opposition. Let’s be clear: the new EARN IT Act would pave the way for a massive new surveillance system, run by private companies, that would roll back some of the most important privacy and security features in technology used by people around the globe. It’s a framework for private actors to scan every message sent online and report violations to law enforcement. And it might not stop there. The EARN IT Act could ensure that anything hosted online—backups, websites, cloud photos, and more—is scanned. The bill empowers every U.S. state or territory to . . .

2016 ELECTION

Cleveland: Lawsuit Claims Foreign Powers Sought To Interfere In 2016 Election To Help Hillary Clinton
On Feb. 3, long-time Trump associate Felix Sater filed a cross-complaint in a New York federal court. The complaint alleges that Russian and Kazakhstan-connected individuals and entities conducted “a shadow intelligence operation of Sater and Trump for the purpose of manufacturing information to harm Donald Trump politically,” including by providing Christopher Steele a PowerPoint presentation riddled with lies Steele later fed to the FBI. Sater’s cross suit comes nearly three years after the City of Almaty, Kazakhstan, and BTA Bank filed suit against Sater, two of the companies he owned, a former business associate, and that associate’s LLCs, in City of Almaty, Kazakhstan v. Sater. In that lawsuit, filed in May 2019, Almaty and BTA Bank alleged that Sater and the other defendants helped Mukhtar Ablyazov, the former chairman of the BTA Bank, and Viktor Khrapunov, the former mayor of the City of Almaty, launder money the duo had stolen from the plaintiffs. In the case, the plaintiffs sought recovery of millions of dollars in stolen funds, based on claims of fraud, conspiracy, unjust enrichment, and conversion. […]  Likewise fascinating to watch will be the media’s response to Sater’s lawsuit and his claim that the Kazakhstan players were seeking to interfere in the 2016 election to benefit Hillary Clinton, as well as the allegations of corruption Sater levies against Hunter Biden.

JANUARY 6

Mann: Congress claims sovereign immunity prevents Capitol Police from sharing January 6 emails and videos
Judicial Watch is challenging an attempt by the U.S Capitol Police to block the watchdog organization’s federal lawsuit to gain access to videos and emails related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Congress, via the police department, is arguing that the videos and emails being sought are not matters of public record and that there is no public interest in their release. Furthermore, the body is claiming that sovereign immunity prevents citizens from suing for their release.

2020 ELECTION

Kassam: Pence Blasts Trump as ‘Un-American’ in Speech for ‘FedSoc’ Group Which Takes Massive Donations from Election-Fiddling Facebook Founder.
Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech to the ostensibly “conservative” Federalist Society on Friday, wherein he insisted that President Trump and his team were wrong to demand Pence use the powers of the Vice President to scrutinize the election results after the 2020 presidential debacle. Now, details of the host organization of the speech and its links to Mark Zuckerberg, Big Tech, and Facebook specifically may go some way to explaining the former Veep’s precarious position on the matter.

Transhumanism is a “technoprogressive” socio-political and intellectual movement that advocates for the use of technology in order to transform the human organism radically, with the ultimate goal of becoming “posthuman.”

Allen: Elon Musk Is A Cyborg Trojan Horse
Imagine a lefty billionaire telling you the greatest threat to humanity is artificial general intelligence. This out-of-control computer system will be so smart, he says, it’ll outdo our brightest nerds by orders of magnitude. It’ll be here any day now. On the upside, this moneybags has a plan to save humanity.
On the downside, his salvation means plugging your skull with computer chips, each one strung with a thousand hair-thin wires that slide into your gray matter. The billionaire tells you this dome-jack will augment your puny human intelligence. Otherwise, you risk becoming a house pet to the Super Computer God that he’s trying to develop. You joke that you don’t believe in God, and he tells you he doesn’t either, except he’s dead serious. You ask how the world came to be, in all its complexity, and he tells you that we probably live in a computer simulation created by invisible beings. So don’t stress out. Just take the chip.

GOVERNEMENT HAS SEIZED CONTROL OF HEALTH CARE

Murdock: Phoenix Hispanic Man Denied Life-Saving COVID Treatment for Identifying as ‘White’
As the government continues to struggle retaining a totalitarian grasp on all things related to the pandemic, including Americans’ health care options, Arizonans should be aware that their skin color will determine their ability to access life-saving treatment. One Phoenix man shared with AZ Free News how his decision to identify himself as “white” because of his skin tone, rather than Hispanic, nearly cost him his life, in the hopes that his experience will spread awareness and serve as a cautionary tale to fellow Arizonans. Michael Myers explained that he made the mistake of marking his race as “white” on medical intake paperwork rather than “Hispanic” — in part due to his complexion, mixed with the fact that he was raised to not think of himself as Hispanic. “Had I put that I was Hispanic they probably would’ve gave [the monoclonal antibodies] to me,” said Myers. “I lost four days [of treatment] getting sicker and sicker. I put down ‘white’ even though I was sicker than a dog.” Even though race doesn’t weigh heavily on Myers’ mind, it does for the government. AZ Free News inquired with the health system that treated Myers, HonorHealth, about their adherence to any federal or state guidelines that limit or prohibit COVID-19 treatments based

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATES

Piper: CDC admits natural immunity more protective than vax, yet hypes ICU, other perils for unvaxxed kids
Natural immunity from COVID-19 is broad and durable. The lowest risk group for COVID complications should get vaccines — and boosters, for those authorized — regardless of their health. These statements came out of the CDC two days apart, illustrating the agency’s mixed messaging as ongoing research fails to show a meaningful effect on viral transmission from COVID interventions, especially in children. They have also exposed a potential rift between the agency’s researchers and its social media team, which proclaim the gospel of vaccines and boosters even for research that is more circumspect.

Margolis: MSNBC Spreads Disinformation About Omicron and Kids
MSNBC is trying to scare parents into unnecessarily vaccinating their kids against COVID-19. Pfizer hopes to get their COVID vaccine approved by the FDA for kids five and younger, and former Obama White House policy advisor Dr. Zeke Emanuel appeared on the left-wing network and claimed that vaccinating kids against COVID is a “no brainer.” Host Kristen Welker cited a poll showing that, while 31% of parents of kids five and younger will get their kids vaccinated right away, 29% will “wait and see,” and 25% said “definitely not.” Emanuel blamed parents for being scared of potential side effects before falsely claiming, “With the omicron variant, kids are either going to get the vaccine or they’re likely to get a serious condition of omicron.”

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Duke: The Manchurian Athlete: The “American” Olympic Skier Who Is Representing China
Perhaps the biggest story to come out of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games thus far is that of Eileen Gu, the “American” skier who has decided to compete for China. Of course, American is in quotation marks because it’s perhaps more accurate to say that, in spirit, Gu is not so much an American skier as a skier born in America, or at least in San Francisco. The 18-year-old is certainly noncommittal herself, having told Red Bull’s Bulletin recently, “When I’m in America, I’m American. When I’m in China, I’m Chinese.” Apparently, Gu, whose father is American and mother a Chinese immigrant, identifies as nationality fluid.
But since not everyone believes (not yet, anyway) the internationalist fancy that nationality is a spectrum, Wu’s decision has evoked some expected criticism, with many calling her a traitor. Yet Beijing doesn’t call Gu — who goes by “Gu Ailing” in China — anything but an opportunity. […]  The Manchurian Candidate, alluded to in my title, is a 1962 film about an American soldier captured during the Korean War and then programmed (brainwashed) by the Chinese to become an unwitting tool of Cold War-era Marxists. Gu has been similarly programmed — but by enemies much closer to home. Gu and millions of others are the result of decades of moral decay; cultural degradation; and mind rape with Howard Zinn (pseudo)history, other academic swill, and anti-American entertainment. These people are “citizens of the world,” philanderers of nations, just as the globalists trained them to be. They are the spoiled fruits of balkanization, multiculturalism, and hyphenated-faux-Americanism, just as the immigrationists intended. They’ve been told America is just “an idea” (and often that it’s a bad one) — and an idea can’t compete with an actual nation. This is precisely, too, why Gu won’t be properly stigmatized: She’s applauded as brave by her millions of demoralized brethren.

Anderson: California-born figure skater Beverly Zu, 19, is slammed on Chinese social media after finishing LAST on the ice having given up her US citizenship to compete for Communist Beijing in Winter Olympics
The American-born Chinese figure skater who gave up her US citizenship and changed her name to compete for the Communist country at the Winter Olympic in Beijing fell twice during the women’s short program team event – to the scorn of many her adopted country. Beverly Zu, 19, who changed her name to Zhu Yi, finished with the lowest score of the event at Beijing’s Capital Indoor Stadium after she failed to land a jump and fell on the opening combination, and botched another jump later in her short program. Her performance knocked China from third to fifth place in the team event.  […]  Zhu was born in Los Angeles to Chinese parents and given the name Beverly, and grew up with a privileged background. Her father, Zhu Songchun, is an award-winning scientist who joined the staff at Beijing’s Peking University in 2020. He previously worked at the University of California, Los Angeles.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

McCotter: The Great Power Competition: Mirroring Communist China
In the intensifying great power contest between the United States and genocidal Communist China, it is imperative to devise a strategy for victory, not one for subservience and appeasement. As Ronald Reagan proclaimed as he ended the myth of détente and commenced the drive for an irenic victory over the USSR’s evil empire: “We win, they lose.” Ultimately, through our nation and our allies’ perspicacious strategic and morally courageous policies, we won and the Soviets lost.  (And all of this without so much as a “snowflake” of the “nuclear winter” the accommodating, appeasing domestic Left had virtually guaranteed would occur under the leadership of the “amiable dunce” and “nuclear cowboy,” “Ronald Ray-Gun.”) In devising a strategy to defeat our present totalitarian enemy, how would one assess the future of genocidal Communist China if, within their borders, our policies were accomplishing the following:
[…]  Now, how do you feel knowing this is what the genocidal Communist Chinese regime’s unrestricted warfare has already accomplished within the United States?

Ginsberg: US Government Left As Many As 9,000 American Citizens In Afghanistan After Withdrawal, Senate Report Reveals
In public statements, Biden administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, claimed that only 100-150 Americans remained in Afghanistan and had contacted the U.S. government with a desire to leave. The State Department and Defense Department officials stuck to that number, even as the government publicly admitted that large numbers of American citizens were still leaving the country. The report, signed by Foreign Relations ranking member Jim Risch of Idaho, reveals that State Department officials believed that between 10,000 and 15,000 Americans were in Afghanistan as late as Aug. 17. In the next two weeks, only 6,000 Americans were able to escape the country ahead of the Taliban takeover.

Christensen: HHS is at ‘high-risk’ of failing to respond to future public health threats, government watchdog says
Deficiencies at the US Department of Health and Human Services put the department at “high risk” of failing to respond to future public health threats as the department’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted longstanding concerns, the US Government Accountability Office, the government watchdog agency, said Thursday. The GAO placed the department’s leadership and coordination of public health emergencies on a list of high-risk federal programs and operations that are “vulnerable to abuse, mismanagement, fraud, or waste, or need an overall transformation.” Within HHS, a variety of agencies are involved, including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Food and Drug Administration and the Office of the US Surgeon General.

Callaghan: Princesses of the Proletariat
There is a natural aristocracy among men,” Thomas Jefferson famously observed. “The grounds of this are virtue and talents.” But, he continued, “there is also an artificial aristocracy . . . without either virtue or talents.” That artificial aristocracy, Jefferson wrote, “is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provision should be made to prevent its ascendancy.”  The Democratic Party serves a modern aristocracy. This aristocracy is global, artificial, and lacks virtue. To expose this aristocracy, Republicans should cover billboards, light up cell phones, and litter mailboxes with two pictures from last year. The theme of each is power and sacrifice. The first is a picture of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) officiating last year’s unusual wedding of Ivy Getty. Ivy Getty is an heiress to the fantastic oil fortune of J. Paul Getty.

PEACEFULLY & PATRIOTICALLY HAVE YOUR VOICES HEARD

Wright: When Asked ‘What Are Your Pronouns,’ Don’t Answer
A seemingly innocuous question masks a demand for conformity with a regressive set of ideas. […] Proponents of gender ideology have completely decoupled the terms “man,” “woman,” “boy” and “girl” from biological sex. Gender ideology teaches that the terms “man/boy” and “woman/girl”—and their corresponding “he/his” and “she/her” pronouns—refer to a person’s gender identity, while “male” and “female” refer to biological sex. While you may define a woman as a female human adult, gender ideology contends that a “woman” is an adult of either sex who simply “identifies” as a woman. But what does it mean to “identify” as a man or woman?

Durden: GoFundMe Seizes Millions In Trucker Protest Funds, Will Give It To Charities Instead
After the radical leftists in San Francisco who operate GoFundMe seized millions of dollars from the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” and vowed to refund donations to donors (upon request) or disburse the funds to “credible charities” (like Black Lives Matter, Greenpeace, and Planned Parenthood Matter), the internet went absolutely mental Friday night about the crowd-sourcing platform’s decision.  Rebel News’ Ezra Levant equated GoFundMe’s decision as “stealing the money.” He said the crowd-sourcing platform should have “automatically refunded its donors.” Hours later, around 0200 ET Saturday, GoFundMe released another statement that said, “due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations.” The audacity that leftists at GoFundMe thought they could redistribute the money elsewhere is shocking. It is a wake-up call for freedom-loving people who band together to take their funding operations elsewhere (ever hear of BTC or ETH?). GoFundMe’s poor judgment to only now automatically refund donors has shown their true liberal colors (this blunder has sparked a trust issue with the platform). All donors received this emailed statement early Saturday morning:. . .[NOTE: GoFundMe supported Antifa’s CHAZ occupation even after a death occurred.]
