NOTABLE QUOTES

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Director General of the World Health Organization: Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet. Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one third of the global burden of disease. Transforming food systems is therefore essential.

John Christy, a climatologist and professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the director of the Earth System Science Center: “CO2 has been unfairly demonized because it is actually plant food in its atmospheric form, and it is the consequence of generating carbon-based energy, which unquestionably improves lives around the world,” he said. He calls CO2 the “currency of life.”

Thomas Catenacci contributor to Fox News: “Spurred by government actions and court decisions — and accompanied by a drumbeat of growing impacts — a rule of law of climate change is emerging,” the brief states. “ELI’s Climate Judiciary Project is preparing the bench to understand the science and ensure justice in the new legal environment.” In 2022, the Environmental Law Institute said it led 80 events, ranging from conferences, policy forums and boot camps on topics that included climate change, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, decarbonization, the Endangered Species Act, energy law, environmental criminal enforcement, environmental justice and ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance).

John F. Di Leo contributor to American Thinker: America has moved from traditional AC plug-in technology (which could be made anywhere) to cordless technology (which depends on lithium ion batteries almost entirely sourced in China).  Almost everything we do, everything we use, everything we depend on, is either partially or wholly dependent on trade with the most malevolent, militant, and expansion-minded country on earth.

James Howard Kunstler blog: You may have noticed that our country, formerly a republic of sovereign individuals, has become one great big racketeering operation run by a mafia-like cabal with Marxist characteristics — or, at least, Marxist pretenses. That is, it seeks to profit by every avenue of dishonesty and coercion, under the guise of rescuing the “oppressed and marginalized” from their alleged tormenters. Apparently, half the country likes it that way. Much of the on-the-ground action in this degenerate enterprise is produced by various hustles. A hustle is a particularly low-grade, insultingly obvious racket, such as Black Lives Matter, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and “trans women” (i.e., men) in women’s sports. Some of the profit in any hustle is plain moneygrubbing, of course. But there’s also an emotional payoff. Hustlers and racketeers are often sadists, so the gratification derived from snookering the credulous (feelings of power) gets amplified by the extra thrill of seeing the credulous suffer pain, humiliation, and personal ruin.

Brian C. Joondeph contributor to American Thinker: At the rate we are going, soon the entire world may migrate to America for free food, shelter, education, health care, and even voting rights. The latter perk is the real reason Democrats want open borders as Americans won’t vote for their nonsensical proposals and candidates. Imagine Democrat ballot-harvesting dreams with tens of millions of illegal migrants on the voter rolls, being sent ballots deemed undeliverable, that harvesters retrieve, fill out, and stuff into the nearest drop box.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ABOLISH THE SECOND AMENDMENT

Singh: Democrats Sought Major Curbs On Gun Rights In 2023

Significant gun-related legislation and jurisprudence was promulgated by Democrats and left-wing judges in 2023, affecting individuals’ rights to own firearms under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Amid frequent mass shootings across the United States, left-wing activist groups and Democrats have sought to pass legislation that would restrict the availability of guns to persons by imposing administrative requirements to own them, such as background checks. Many of these were opposed by Republicans and conservative activist groups through litigation, with those measures being as follows.

Ahmari: The Mainstream Against Democracy

Why win votes when you can engage in lawfare? Mainstream parties could have responded in one of two ways to the populist wave that began to sweep through developed nations on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid-2010s. They could either offer attractive policy alternatives that answered ordinary people’s anxieties and rallied them away from populist movements like Trump and Brexit, or they could try to use underhanded lawfare strategies to undo populist ballot-box victories. They overwhelmingly picked the latter course of action. They called it “defending democracy.” […] The most pertinent and intriguing question is this: What would things have looked like if, instead of choosing the path of lawfare and #Resistance, mainstream parties had sought to accommodate populist voters and/or offer them an even more enticing vision of what the future might look like?

AP & Schwab: Jack Smith tries to BLOCK Trump from blaming Biden for his criminal charges: Special Counsel asks judge to stop ex-president from claiming the prosecution is ‘vindictive’ and ‘coordinated’ by the White House

Smith’s office told U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in a 20-page filing that Trump’s lawyers should be prevented from ‘raising irrelevant political issues or arguments in front of the jury,’ including that the prosecution against him is vindictive and selective or was coordinated by President Joe Biden. ‘In addition to being wrong, these allegations are irrelevant to the jury’s determination of the defendant’s guilt or innocence, would be prejudicial if presented to the jury, and must be excluded,’ prosecutors wrote. The motion to preclude Trump from introducing broad categories of arguments is a way for prosecutors to try to set parameters on what information they believe the jury should, or should not, hear when the case reaches trial. It was filed as the case is effectively on hold during an appeal of the former president’s claims that he is immune from prosecution for acts taken while in the White House.

U.S. SUPREME COURT

OAN: House Dems Demand Clarence Thomas Recuse Himself

Watch the 5:10 minute interview: https://www.oann.com/video/in-focus-video/house-dems-demand-clarence-thomas-recuse-himself/

Revolver.news: Attorney Mike Davis demolishes the left’s hopes of forcing Justice Thomas to recuse from Trump case…

The left’s obsession with Justice Clarence Thomas is escalating to a level similar to that of Trump. It wouldn’t be surprising if we soon hear talk of CDS: “Clarence Derangement Syndrome.” They’re constantly seeking ways to target him, with the latest effort being an attempt to force his recusal from President Trump’s Supreme Court case, which challenges the regime’s bogus charges. The left argues that Justice Thomas can’t be impartial if his wife supports Trump. Rep. Hank Johnson is spearheading the movement for Justice Thomas to step back from the Jack Smith case. However, this push is both absurd and highly partisan. There’s no legitimate reason for Thomas to recuse himself simply due to his wife’s political views. What the left is attempting here is a strategic manipulation of the High Court, aiming to ensure only their “preferred” justices preside over certain cases. […] Mike Davis, the former clerk for Justice Gorsuch, really dampened the left’s hopes when he highlighted a particularly ironic aspect of this charade: Jack Smith’s wife is vehemently anti-Trump. So, following the left’s logic, shouldn’t Smith recuse himself? Hmmm. Here’s what Mike said: . . .

Hubbard: Supreme Court Justice Roberts urges ‘caution,’ predicts AI will ‘significantly’ impact legal field

“As 2023 draws to a close with breathless predictions about the future of Artificial Intelligence, some may wonder whether judges are about to become obsolete. I am sure we are not—but equally confident that technological changes will continue to transform our work,” Roberts wrote in an end-of-the-year report published Sunday. “But any use of AI requires caution and humility,” he also said before giving an example where attorneys submitted a brief in which AI included a reference to a nonexistent legal case.

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE  POWER & CONTROL

Catenacci: Left-wing climate group is quietly training judges how to handle global warming cases

Group is ‘preparing the bench to understand the science and ensure justice in the new legal environment’ A little-known judicial advocacy organization funded by left-wing nonprofits is quietly training judges nationwide on how to handle cases related to climate change, according to a Fox News Digital review. The Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Law Institute (ELI) created the Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) in 2018, establishing a first-of-its-kind resource to provide “reliable, up-to-date information” about climate change litigation, according to the group. The project’s reach has extended to various state and federal courts, including powerful appellate courts, and comes as various cities and states pursue high-profile litigation against the oil industry. […] “Spurred by government actions and court decisions — and accompanied by a drumbeat of growing impacts — a rule of law of climate change is emerging,” the brief states. “ELI’s Climate Judiciary Project is preparing the bench to understand the science and ensure justice in the new legal environment.” […] In 2022, the Environmental Law Institute said it led 80 events, ranging from conferences, policy forums and boot camps on topics that included climate change, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, decarbonization, the Endangered Species Act, energy law, environmental criminal enforcement, environmental justice and ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance)

Bartee: WATCH: WHO Terrorist Declares Fatwa on Global Agriculture

The technocratic war on food is getting very dark very fast. Here is WHO puppet Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus — a conveniently bespectacled token minority so you can know he’s pure as the driven now without asking too many questions — dutifully reading the script his masters wrote for him: […] He goes on to promote “plant-based diets,” which means corn and soy monoculture controlled by multinational agri-corporations via intellectual property rights based on manipulation of their genomes — in addition, of course, to zhe bugs. […] The urgency with which we must confront the global, anti-human, technocratic cabal is increasing exponentially. It’s high past time we started calling these institutions and their sock puppets what they are: terrorists.

Sundance: Biden Dept. of Energy Continues War on Consumers – New Fridge/Freezer and Fans Regulations Enacted

What Biden and the progressive movement call the “green new deal” effort toward “sustainability,” including the ban on gas stoves and internal combustion engines, simply results in a diminished quality of life, a loss in lifestyle productivity, and the exact opposite outcome from their expressed/intended purpose. It’s an abject mess of stupidity, pushed under the guise of environmentalism. Today the Biden Dept. of Energy (DOE) takes it one step further with rules and regulations on fridges, freezers and fans. {DOE LINK} Residential Refrigerators and Freezers – The efficiency standards being adopted today for residential refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers, which have not been updated in over a decade, align with recommendations from a diverse set of stakeholders, including manufacturers, the manufacturing trade association, energy, environmental, and consumer advocacy groups, states, and utilities. Compliance will be required either January 31, 2029, or January 31, 2030,  . . .

BIDEN’S MANDATED mRNA COVID “VACCINATIONS”

(Additional information) Mercola: New Safety Concerns About the COVID Shots Arise

  • According to research published in December 2023, the mRNA COVID shots suffer high rates of ribosomal “frameshifting,” which causes your cells to produce off-target proteins that can trigger unintended immune reactions
  • According to the authors, off-target cellular immune responses occur in 25% to 30% of people who have received the COVID shot
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration are refusing to release the RNA stability data they supposedly relied on when approving a change to Pfizer’s shot that allowed it to be transported and stored at temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius instead of -70 C
  • The FDA also authorized Pfizer to swap the phosphate-buffered saline buffer used in the adult formulations, to a tromethamine (Tris) buffer in the children’s version. FDA did not require any kind of testing to be conducted, and no data have been released in support of its decision to allow the swap
  • According to research published in 2023 […] In layman English, the inclusion of synthetic methylpseudouridine causes the ribosomes (which are responsible for reading the code) to misread the RNA’s instructions. RNA code consists of groups of three bases (codons) that must be read in the correct order for a desired protein to be created.

Because the methylpseudouridine is not a perfect fit, it causes the decoding process to stall and shift (hence the term “+1 ribosomal frameshifting”). There’s basically a stutter in the decoding process, as your cells don’t understand what’s being asked for, and this stuttering causes the decoding to skip a letter, thereby garbling the entire code.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Sundance: Chairman Xi New Year Message About Taiwan: “China will surely be reunified”

“We will continue to support Hong Kong and Macao in harnessing their distinctive strengths, better integrating themselves into China’s overall development, and securing long-term prosperity and stability. China will surely be reunified, and all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose and share in the glory of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.” ~ Chairman Xi Jinping (link) This is sure to create anxiety amid the DC interventionists within the U.S. foreign policy establishment. However, with the USA bogged down in two regional conflicts, Israel/Gaza and Ukraine/Russia, the window for China to influence the Taiwan election is wide open.

Kube & Lee: The secret U.S. effort to track, hide and surveil the Chinese spy balloon

On a Friday evening last January, Gen. Glen VanHerck, the Air Force commander in charge of defending American airspace from foreign intrusion, called President Joe Biden’s top military adviser, Gen. Mark Milley. U.S. intelligence officials had just notified the general that for roughly 10 days they had been tracking a mysterious — and enormous — object flying over the Asia-Pacific, VanHerck told Milley. The object had crossed into U.S. airspace over Alaska and VanHerck said he planned to dispatch military jets to fly alongside it and assess what it was. The previously unreported Jan. 27 phone call between Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and VanHerck, the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, set off an eight-day scramble inside the Biden administration. American officials faced an unprecedented challenge: a Chinese spy balloon the size of three school buses flying across the continental U.S.

The spy balloon exposed an increasingly brazen China’s competitive advances miles above the Earth and brought the most critical relationship in the world to one of its lowest points in recent history. Nearly a year later, U.S. relations with China have not fully recovered and officials from the two nations have apparently not discussed the incident in detail. And an American effort to create global norms in unregulated spaces above the Earth has largely stalled.

DiLeo: The True Cost of Trading with the Enemy

When the inevitable war with China comes, consider what our current interdependence with China will mean to the American way of life:

  1. Many of our companies depend on exporting to China for their profit margin. Such exports will of course end immediately.  But that’s the least disruptive issue, compared to the rest:
  2. We buy countless finished goods from China.  Goodbye to that, for the duration.
  3. American factories buy countless components everything from off-the-shelf standard products to customized parts. Don’t assume we can just buy them from another country. For millions of globally-sourced parts, China is the only current source. It’s not a matter of ramping up production; it’s a matter of relearning how to make things.
  4. Countless American businesses “own” factories in China, where not only Chinese people work, but American and other foreigners do as well, often living there with their families.  Goodbye to those plants, and their output, and the U.S.-owned equipment, dies and molds, and personnel.
  5. Similarly, countless Chinese nationals are in the USA, working at American companies. Some are doubtless honorable immigrants; many are undoubtedly plants, foreign agents ready to be activated upon the breakout of hostilities.  How do we know which to deport, which to detain, which to welcome as immigrants?

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY

Roach: American Weakness on Display in the Red Sea

In spite of sanctions and years of war, Yemen’s Houthis have established firm control over the country’s south and managed to accrue an asymmetric drone warfare capability. One may recall Yemeni drone attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure just a few years ago. These same weapons have now been deployed against Israel and in defense of Yemen itself. The United States tried and failed to build a naval coalition to stop the Houthi’s interdiction of shipping en route to Israel. At first, the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian with great fanfare. But soon it scaled back the operation, admitted a lack of sufficient ships, and sustained a prestige hit when France, Spain, and Australia all dropped out of the planned operation. While taking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems ill advised—the Middle East is consistently a tar baby that the U.S. obtains no advantage from engaging with—American control of the seas, the preservation of open shipping lanes, and our ability to influence the actions of other nations are important elements of American power. The security of the oceans will always be a legitimate foreign policy priority for a commercial and maritime republic like the United States. A lot has changed in the last 20 years. […] But cracks in U.S. dominance are beginning to show. For starters, . . .

(H/T DG) Bensman: United Nations Grantee Uses U.S. Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration

During a recent trip to a Reynosa, Mexico migrant camp, I took photos of a United Nations-supported International Organization for Migration (IOM) operation to hand out cash debit cards to intending and repeat border crossers. […] My photos of this posted to Twitter and related dispatch for the Center for Immigration Studies drew outrage among some Republican lawmakers. They saw the images as evidence that the U.S. taxpayer-funded IOM was providing material support to an ongoing mass migration harmful to America’s national interest. A couple of weeks later, Texas Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, and 11 other House Republican co-sponsors introduced the “No Tax Dollars for the United Nations Immigration Invasion Act” bill. It would prohibit the $3.8 billion in contributions currently proposed in the White House 2022 budget to the IOM and other UN-supported organizations. A Daily Caller story that broke news of the bill’s introduction quoted Gooden citing my Reynosa photos.

McDaniel: Disease is diverse and inclusive too

New York City’s health commissioner announced last week that the influx of migrants from the southern border — more than 50,000 to New York City alone in the past year — is delivering contagious diseases, including tuberculosis and polio, to our neighborhoods. The same disease threats are also endangering other migrant destinations, including California, Texas and Florida […] But how can this be? Surely every immigrant is carefully vetted at the border, like for Covid, whose lockdowns nearly destroyed the economy?  Of course, and have I told you I’m a Nigerian prince in exile, and if you’ll give me your bank account numbers, I’ll deposit millions for safekeeping, and you can keep some?

ADI Staff Reporter:  Former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Offers Stunning Testimony In Hearing On 2022 Maricopa County Election

Former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Ruth McGregor stunned members of the House Ad Hoc Committee On Oversight, Accountability And Big Tech on Thursday when she made several jaw-dropping admissions about an audit she oversaw of the 2022 General Election in Maricopa County. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors spent more than $91,000 in taxpayer money to have McGregor lead an investigation into the botched 2022 General Election in which several Ballot of Demand (BOD) printers failed on Election Day.

(H/T GC) Geller: Minnesota Adopts New State Flag – From Somalia

Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work, by all means, to impose it.

“Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Peter Hammond explains in his book. “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.” […] It’s been a number of years since I’ve read Mark Steyn’s America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, a book in which he argued that the West was headed towards collapse, in large part due to the growth and importation of Muslim third world populations—and a new flag, one that looks strikingly similar to that which represents a foreign Muslim third world group of people, that’s fixing to be hoisted at American public schools, American Capitol buildings, and American businesses, proves Steyn was undeniably right.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro deployed 5,000 soldiers in response to the U.K. deploying the Royal Navy patrol vessel HMS Trent to Guyana in diplomatic and military support for the former British colony. Maduro claimed the presence of the patrol vessel in Guyana’s sovereign waters is a provocation, saying, “We do not accept provocations, threats from anything or anyone.” Guyanese President Dr Irfaan Ali responded on X, saying, “Neither Venezuela nor any other State has anything to fear from activities within Guyana’s sovereign territory or waters.

Lane: 73 Three and Four-Year Olds, Hundreds of Children Under Six Sent to Disgraced NHS Transgender Clinic

382 children aged six and under have been referred to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) in the Tavistock and Portman Trust, known commonly as the National Health Service’s transgender clinic, in the past ten years new figures from the Trust reveal. The numbers, published by the Daily Mail, reveal how even the youngest children have been pushed into interacting with the controversial clinic, and that the numbers being referred to GIDS have soared in recent years. The clinic, which has no official younger age limit to those it will see, has had 12 three-year-olds referred to it between 2010 and 2020, as well as 61 four-year-olds, 140 five-year-olds, and 169 six-year-olds. The number of young people being sent to GIDS year-on-year shows how quickly the concept is spreading, with 136 referrals in 2010-11 to 3,585 a decade later.

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.

Please click the TAKE ACTION link to learn to do’s and don’ts for voting in 2024. Our state and national elections are at great risk from the very aggressive and radical leftist Democrat operatives with documented rigging, mail-in voter fraud and illegals voting across the country (yes, with illegals voting across the country) in the last several election cycles.

Read Part 1 and Part 2 of The Prickly Pear essays entitled How NOT to Vote in the November 5, 2024 Election in Arizona to be well informed of the above issues and to vote in a way to ensure the most likely chance your vote will be counted and counted as you intend.
