Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
On September 22nd CVS pharmacy promoted the COVID-19 booster vaccination program by sharing a Tweet showing CDC Director Rochelle Walensky getting her shot at the national pharmacy chain. [pictured below]
On Saturday October 22nd, the CDC announced Rochelle Walensky tested positive for COVID-19:
(Via CDC) Last night, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky tested positive for COVID-19. She is up to date with her vaccines. Dr. Walensky is experiencing mild symptoms. Consistent with CDC guidelines, she is isolating at home and will participate in her planned meetings virtually. CDC senior staff and close contacts have been informed of her positive test and are taking appropriate action to monitor their health. (link)
Last week we discussed the announcement of a $24.6 billion merger deal between Kroger and Albertsons supermarkets {Go Deep}. The majority stockholders in both companies are institutional investment groups, Blackrock, Vanguard and Cerberus.
The merger would consolidate the second and third largest food retailers in the U.S. and would certainly dilute the competitive dynamic amid the supermarket industry. Concern over price controls and decreased competition has now arrived on the desks of DC legislators who are reviewing the deal.
(Reuters) – […] U.S. Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar and Republican Senator Mike Lee were quick to say that they would hold a hearing to discuss the merger. A European interloper could make deal plans even harder.
Frans Muller, Chief Executive of Stop & Shop owner Ahold Delhaize (AD.AS), has made no secret of his desire to consolidate U.S. grocers. The Netherlands-based firm is already the fourth largest grocery chain. If it managed to cobble together a better offer than Kroger’s bid for Albertsons, it would become the second largest supermarket. Plane spotters tracked two Albertsons jets next to Ahold Delhaize’s U.S. base in Massachusetts in early August. Ahold declined to comment.

For his monologue this week (¹sorry, no transcript), U.K pundit Neil Oliver notes the vulnerabilities of the globalist elite when the people finally reach the point of having had quite enough.
Using the famous Mike Tyson quote, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face,” Oliver notes the scheme and grand designs of the globalists may seem omnipotent, but only so long as it takes for the angered masses to assemble in common resolve. The elites are vulnerable despite their seemingly endless efforts to promote themselves as untouchable. Their weakness is their limited number.
Oliver takes his position to a new level of indignation as he now describes the conniving western political class as soulless, rotten and seemingly willing to promote evil enterprise in their efforts to retain control. Indeed, their current efforts to control the masses – through energy restrictions while they worship at the false altar of ‘climate change – they are fully exposed for their exploitative intent given the aftermath of their two years of COVID schemes, lies and visible madness.

¹The transcript is normally available on GBNews. However, it is not available today. Coincidentally, or not, the corporate Fox News YouTube site has not shared a single Tucker Carlson monologue for the last two weeks.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
I’m not sure what’s more remarkable; the transparency of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, or MSNBC broadcasting it. Then again, this was live at around 5:30pm ET, so there wasn’t an opportunity to edit out the disturbing part. Sundowning?
During a live MSNBC interview broadcast today, Joe Biden was asked about his decision to run for reelection in 2024. When a short follow-up question is asked, things got weird and uncomfortable. WATCH:
BIDEN: “It’s my intention to run again.”
MSNBC: “Dr. Biden is for it?”
BIDEN: crickets
MSNBC: (Uncomfortable) “Mr. President?”
BIDEN: (Confused) “Dr. Biden thinks that uh, my wife thinks that uh, that I uh, that, that we’re, that we’re doing something very important.”

Whenever we begin to evaluate how the U.S. government may respond to Elon Musk buying out Twitter and changing the dynamic behind Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop, it is always worth remembering a key point. Elon Musk is not in an adversarial relationship with the U.S. government. Indeed, almost every Musk venture is tied into the matrix of multiple government institutions.
That said, only Elon Musk knows the full intent of his objective to utilize Twitter and his larger aspirations to open information systems to all people (Iran example).
Having listened to a lot of Musk’s explanations for his endeavors, I’ve yet to nail down how his statements mesh with the public-private partnership that forms the baseline of revenue for his various engagements.
The Washington Post is reporting that Musk may RIF (reduction in force) to 75% of Twitter employees. “Elon Musk told prospective investors in his deal to buy the company that he planned to get rid of nearly 75 percent of Twitter’s 7,500 workers, whittling the company down to a skeleton staff of just over 2,000.” {link}
(WaPo) […] On Thursday evening, Twitter’s top lawyer Sean Edgett sent out a note to all employees saying the company did not have any confirmation from Musk about his plans. Twitter’s own, smaller-scale “cost savings discussions” were put on hold once the merger agreement was signed, Edgett said, according to an email viewed by The Post.
In internal Slack groups, Twitter employees reacted to the news with anger and resignation, supporting each other and making jokes about the turmoil of the past few months, according to people familiar with the conversations.
