NOTABLE QUOTES

Michael Senger contributor to Brownstone Institute:The global Monkeypox outbreak—occurring on the exact timeline predicted by a biosecurity simulation of a global Monkeypox outbreak a year prior—bears a striking resemblance to the outbreak of COVID-19 just months after Event 201, a simulation of a coronavirus pandemic almost exactly like COVID-19.

Robert Malone, M.D., M.S. inventor of mRNA & DNA vaccines: In my opinion, based on currently available information, Monkeypox is a virus and disease which is endemic in Africa, emerges sporadically after transmission into humans from animal hosts, and is typically spread by close human contact. It is readily controlled by classical public health measures. It does not have a high mortality rate. Unless there has been some genetic alteration, either through evolution or intentional genetic manipulation, it is not a significant biothreat, and has never been considered a high threat pathogen in the past. So stop the fear mongering, misinformation and disinformation.

Albert Bourla  Pfizer CEO speaking to the World Economic Forum:  “It is a, basically biological chip that is in the tablet. And once we take the tablet and dissolves into the stomach, sends a signal that you took the table. So imagine the applications of that – the compliance. The insurance companies know that the medicines patients should take, they take them.” https://twitter.com/loffredojeremy/status/1527521228688445442?cxt=HHwWhMC-7dud7LIqAAAA

Victor Davis Hanson is a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness: Joe Biden is said to be an inert puppet of left-wing masters. Perhaps. But more likely his cognitive challenges have stripped away his political savvy and left him in the raw, revealing his real essence, a racialist of the first order, who will use any tragedy to salvage what has become the worst two years of a presidency in modern memory. And most of the people now know it.

J.B., Shurk contributor to American Thinker: Perhaps no head of state before Joe Biden has so completely personified the maritime proverb that the fish rots from the head down.  In both deed and physical decay, he is that putrefying rancidness wafting from where offal is tossed near the dock whose ability to trigger the gag reflexes of unsuspecting travelers seems the perfect metaphor for this nauseating moment in American history.  Not only is Joe’s walking corpse a fitting symbol for a country that has never looked more debilitated, but the reality (ignored by the State’s slavishly devoted press corps) that his cognitive acuity is plummeting so fast that terminal velocity was reached long ago drives the point home that the head of our head of state is rotting, too.

John Conlin contributor to American Greatness: I call bullshit on the idea that a top-down, hierarchical structure generates superior results. Due to the incredible multiplicative power of swarm intelligence and the self-organization it drives, free individuals will always generate far superior results. The “IQ” of a group of free individuals exceeds that of a top-down design by orders of magnitude. Bosses are neither desired nor required. Bosses just increase the odds of catastrophic failure. This reality has profound implications in the design and operations of government.

F. Mulder contributor to American Thinker:America has truly reached Soviet levels of mass delusion and absurdity. The official lines on the most important subjects of the day are not just inconsistent with reality, they are the complete inversion of it.

War Room: Tim Parlatore: Intel Officials to Face Possible Litigation

Attorney Timothy Parlatore talks to host Steve Bannon about President Trump’s campaign to have 51 former intelligence officials held to account for their fake claims that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. In particular, Trump and Parlatore want the 51 Democrat boosters to have their security clearances removed.

Moran: Trump: ‘Where Do I Get My Reputation Back’?

“For three years, I had to fight her off, and fight those crooked people off,” Trump said. “Where do I get my reputation back?” Trump’s words echo those of former Ronald Reagan Labor Secretary Ray Donovan who was accused of fraud and other charges relating to his construction business. The charges were so outrageous that Donovan’s lawyers didn’t even put up a defense. The jury acquitted Donovan in less than an hour, with some jurors openly applauding the verdict. “Which office do I go to get my reputation back?” Donovan asked the media in the post-trial news conference.

MONKEY POX: 2022 PANDEMIC?

Malone, MD, MS: Monkey Pox

I keep getting asked the same question again and again; is this outbreak of monkey pox a real threat, or is this another case of overstated and weaponized public health messaging? I am going to save my answer to this question for the end of this article and instead focus on what monkey pox is, the nature and characteristics of the associated disease, what we know and don’t know. The monkeypox virus, which originates in various regions of Africa, is related to SmallPox (Variola), which are both members of the genus Orthopoxvirus. However, it is important to understand that Variola (major or minor) is the species of virus which is responsible for the worst human disease caused by the Orthopox viruses. For example, Cowpox, Horsepox, and Camelpox are also members of this genus, none of which are a major health threat to humans, and one of which (Cowpox) has even been (historically) used as a Smallpox vaccine. My point is that just because Monkeypox is related to Smallpox, this does not in any way mean that it represents a similar public health threat. Anyone who implies otherwise is basically engaged in or otherwise supporting weaponized public health-related propaganda. In other words, spreading public health fearporn. […]The Bill Gates funded organization GAVI has provided their assessment of the medical threat posed by Monkeypox, which can be found here. Many readers of this substack will not be surprised by my assessment that this GAVI threat assessment is highly biased towards overstatement. For example, the article seeks to create parallels between Monkeypox and Ebola: Similar to viruses like Ebola, transmission only happens in close proximity by contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets or contaminated materials such as bedding or clothes. The article also states the following pants-on-fire disinformation; Although symptoms often ease within a month, one in ten cases can be fatal. Children are particularly susceptible. This assertion represents a very biased interpretation of a data report from the World Health Organization: In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported 4,594 suspected cases of monkeypox, including 171 deaths (case fatality ratio 3.7%). They are described as suspected because confirmation requires PCR testing, which is not easily available in endemic areas. Those readers who have become sensitized to this type of information manipulation and weaponization will immediately notice two key things about this comment. First, . . .

Kraterou: POX SPREADS Monkeypox outbreak explodes across Europe as cases in Spain and Italy traced to island festival with 80,000 revellers

The Canaria Pride festival, held in the town of Maspalomas between May 5 and 15, has become a hotspot for the monkeypox outbreak, reports El País. The massive party was attended by over 80,000 people, including three Italian men who later tested positive for the virus. A health source told the newspaper: “Among the 30 or so diagnosed in Madrid, there are several who attended the event, although it is not yet possible to know if one of them is patient zero of this outbreak or if they all got infected there.”

Phillips: Belgium becomes first country to introduce compulsory monkeypox quarantine: Anyone testing positive must isolate for 21 days as 14 countries now confirm outbreaks and doctors warn of ‘significant rise’ in UK cases

Belgium has become the first country to introduce a compulsory 21-day monkeypox quarantine – as 14 countries now confirm outbreaks o f the viral disease and doctors warn of a ‘significant rise’ in UK cases. Those who contract the virus will now have to self-isolate for three weeks, Belgian health authorities have said, after three cases were recorded in the country. The infections, the first of which was recorded on Friday, are all linked to a festival in the port city of Antwerp. […]  It is usually mild, with most patients recovering within a few weeks without treatment. However, the disease can prove fatal with the strain causing the current outbreak killing one in 100 infected. The disease, which was first found in monkeys, can be transmitted from person to person through close physical contact – as well as sexual intercourse – and is caused by the monkeypox virus.

Winters: EXC: The Infamous Wuhan Lab Recently Assembled Monkeypox Strains Using Methods Flagged For Creating ‘Contagious Pathogens’.

The study was first published in February 2022, just months before the latest international outbreak of monkeypox cases which appear to have now reached the United States. The paper, which was authored by nine Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers and published in the lab’s quarterly scientific journal Virologica Sinica, also follows the wide-scale use of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests to identify COVID-19-positive individuals. […]  The unearthed study follows the Wuhan Institue of Virology conducting similar research into strains of bat coronaviruses that could infect humans while admitting its facilities lacked proper laboratory safety protocols.

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATES

The Defender Staff: CDC Advisory Panel Approves 3rd Dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine for Kids 5-11

Eleven members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted in favor of the booster shot. Dr. Helen Keipp Talbot, associate professor of medicine and health policy at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, voted against endorsing the shots. Dr. Kevin A. Ault, with the department of obstetrics and gynecology, University of Kansas School of Medicine, Kansas City, Kansas, abstained.  The ACIP’s recommendation came two days after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Pfizer’s request for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of a single booster dose for this age group, saying the third shot should be administered at least five months after completion of a primary series with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. […]  During today’s meeting, Pfizer presented data from a small group of 30 children ages 5 to 11 showing that a third dose boosted infection-blocking antibody levels against Omicron 22-fold one month after administration compared to two doses, CNBC reported. […]  The FDA asserts the presence of SARS-COV-2 antibodies is not necessarily indicative of immune protection from COVID-19. Moreover, the FDA’s Vaccine and Related Biological Product Advisory Committee last month reached a consensus that antibody levels cannot be used as a correlate for vaccine effectiveness. Nevertheless, the FDA used immunobridging as a means to justify authorization of the Pfizer primary series vaccine to children ages 5 to 11, as explained in The Defender here and here.  The FDA and CDC this week used the same data to support authorization of boosters for children this age.

The Pfizer vaccine is currently the only one available for children under the age of 18.  With the CDC’s decision, immuno-compromised children will be eligible for four COVID-19 shots, Just the News reports. The CDC already recommended kids with immune problems to receive a third.

[…]  Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 817,538 adverse events, including 12,961 deaths and 82,544 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and May 13, 2022. […]  Of the 12,961 U.S. deaths reported as of May 13, 16% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 20% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 59% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

Madhani & Boak: Taiwan not included in launch of new Biden Indo-Pacific pact

President Joe Biden on Monday is expected to come out with a list of nations that will join a long-anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact, but Taiwan won’t be among them. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed that Taiwan isn’t among the governments signed up for the launch of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, a pact that’s meant to allow the U.S. to work more closely with key Asian economies on issues like supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anticorruption. The U.S. president is slated to highlight the launch of the framework as he meets Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday. Inclusion of the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which China claims as its own, would have irked Beijing.

Farah: We’ll find out this week if America still has its sovereignty

The vote on a provisional agenda item at the World Health Assembly in Geneva takes place in the next few days, during its meeting scheduled for May 22-28. The agenda is described by the WHO under the headline “Strengthening WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies.” The new plan gives the global agency the power to unilaterally declare a health emergency in any country, thereby giving the WHO emergency powers. The Biden administration gave these proposed amendments to the WHO on Jan. 18, though no one knew of them until April 12. If passed, the resolutions will go into effect in November – just in time for the midterm elections.

Roche: Half of Joe Biden’s Twitter Followers Are Fake, Audit Reveals

Almost half of President Joe Biden‘s current 22.2 million followers on Twitter are fake accounts, according to an audit tool provided by software company SparkToro. SparkToro’s tool found that 49.3 percent of accounts following the official @POTUS Twitter account are “fake followers” based on analysis of a number of factors, including location issues, default profile images and new users. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is currently trying to buy Twitter, has expressed concerns about the number of fake accounts and a potential crack down could see users such as Biden lose a huge number of followers. […]  Musk, the world’s richest man, claimed that 20 percent of Twitter accounts were “fake/spam accounts” and that figure was “4 times what Twitter claims, could be *much* higher.” “My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate,” Musk wrote. “Yesterday, Twitter’s CEO publicly refused to show proof of <5%. This deal cannot move forward until he does.”

Shurk: Biden’s America Rots from the Head Down

When a man lacking the requisite character to hold great power is overwhelmed by his own moral turpitude, entire nations fall apart.  How quickly the mindless destruction of President Trump’s economic and immigration policies have thwarted an American middle class renaissance and set the country adrift on a downward spiral.  A Marxist, corporatist, globalist hydra-headed beast has broadsided the nation.  More than any other animating principle, Biden’s administration operates under petulancy, enraged that American citizens would have a reasonable desire to “Make America Great Again.”  The fact that MAGA policies were actually having their intended salubrious effect has pushed the “America Last” cabal into the kind of apoplexy required to witlessly unleash this bizarre and defeatist national self-immolation.  Welcome to Biden’s America, where everyone is imprisoned in a nightmare republic of financial insecurity, stagflation, crime, institutional corruption, and war.  If you don’t like the cultural wasteland outside your window, you’ll fall in love with the abundance of lost opportunities. What kind of damage do “America Last” policies inflict on the American people?

VDH: Joe Biden and Racial Demagoguery

Joe Biden has had a long history of racist outbursts. Can we even remember them all? The “put y’all back in chains” insults to an audience of black professionals, his dismissal of black interviewers variously as “you ain’t black” or ”junkie,” his he-man racialist Corn Pop mythologies, his recent condescending reference to a black professional as “boy,” and on and on. The Left has always contextualized his racial outbursts in the same fashion his decades-long creepy touching, sexual harassment, grabbing, and blowing into the hair and ears of young women and teens were always “just Joe being Joe.”  […] The Left in general and Biden in particular scan the daily news for opportunities for racial demagoguery. When black shooters try to gas and maim white commuters on the subway, or when there is an epidemic of anti-Asian hate crimes committed disproportionately by black males, or an unhinged Bernie Sanders activist attempts to murder House Republican leaders, the Left is silent or insists the hard ideology or racism the shooter embraces is either irrelevant or somehow a natural response to some sort of provocation. Again, it selectively sees or does not see connections between political discourse and crazy people who commit mass mayhem—depending entirely upon the political ore to be mined.

Nobel: The Democrat Playbook: How To Look Like You Are Fighting Inflation Without Really Trying

Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”  Professor Milton Friedman You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.  President Joe Biden Inflation is the relationship between the quantity of money in circulation and the supply of goods and services. Government and central banks can create money but they can’t create oil, copper, food, housing, hip surgeries, or Tootsie Rolls.  But government can create conditions that stifle the production of these things through taxation, regulation, import restrictions, and arbitrary credit restrictions. The basic rule in dealing with inflation, if you are a Democrat, is to blame everyone, and everything, for the price spiral.  Never look at your own insane monetary and fiscal policy.  Then, start tinkering with the economy to show that you care.

Binder: GOP Rubber Stamps Joe Biden’s $900M for More Immigration from Ukraine

House and Senate Republicans who voted to give $40 billion in additional American taxpayer funding to Ukraine also helped rubber stamp $900 million to fund President Joe Biden’s mass immigration priorities. Late last week, only 57 House Republicans and 11 Senate Republicans voted in opposition to Biden’s $40 billion in additional Ukraine aid. That boondoggle package includes $900 million to fund more immigration from Ukraine even as thousands of Ukrainians pile up at the southern border to get into the U.S. As part of those millions in funds, Ukrainians will be provided with medical services, housing money, and “culturally and linguistically appropriate services.” The package states: . . . […]  The majority of House and Senate Republicans voted for the funding, including GOP House and Senate leadership, despite record-breaking illegal immigration levels at the U.S.-Mexico border with no plans to close up gaps in the border wall that remain fully open.

Judicial Watch: U.S. Census Bureau Keeps Hiring “Unsuitable Individuals” with Criminal Records

Thirteen years after a federal investigation blasted the U.S. Census Bureau for hiring criminals to enter American homes to gather statistics for the decennial count, a new audit reveals the disturbing practice continues. In fact, more than a decade after the problem was exposed workers for the 2020 count were not properly vetted and many with criminal records had direct interactions with the public. The most recent probe, conducted by the Department of Commerce Inspector General, found that “dozens of employees who worked on address canvassing in advance of the 2020 census had major issues flagged on their investigations, which typically means employees are automatically disqualified from their federal jobs.” Chunks of the 28-page report are redacted but the gist is well conveyed, . . .[…]  The latest audit, released last week, shows that virtually nothing has changed after all these years and that the Bureau has done little to improve its derelict hiring practices. Investigators found that at least 6,802 census workers were not properly adjudicated,

San Francisco’s Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone made waves by taking on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, barring her from receiving communion at mass, until she could get her head straight on whether she’s the devout Catholic she thinks she is, or the beast who brings abortion on demand to the U.S. as one of its most powerful politicians. A marker has been laid down — it’s one or the other for Pelosi at this point, and since she’s going to remain in the pews for awhile, she’s now got some time to decide. Cordileone wrote: . . . […] It was a pretty gentle and shepherd-like response to her obnoxious use of her Catholic faith as her justification for every pro-abortion statement and act she’s ever made, however. Cordileone was actually pretty kind to her, speaking of how her pro-abortion stance may be endangering her soul, and how he wanted to save it. […]  After his letter was published, a striking number of other bishops and archbishops have leaped forward to express support and solidarity with Cordileone’s letter, including the bishop of the Napa, California area, where Pelosi owns a dacha.

TAKE ACTION

The Prickly Pear’s TAKE ACTION focus this year is to help achieve a winning 2024 national and state November 5th election with the removal of the Biden/Obama leftist executive branch disaster, win one U.S. Senate seat, maintain and win strong majorities in all Arizona state offices on the ballot and to insure that unrestricted abortion is not constitutionally embedded in our laws and culture.
