The Times of India, a media outlet previously very skeptical of Big Pharma, is reporting from the South African Medical Association that officials are puzzled about the hype around Omicron.

The variant has only produced mild symptoms in regional patients with very little impact.

JOHANNESBURG: “The new Omicron variant of the coronavirus results in mild disease, without prominent syndromes, Angelique Coetzee, the Chairwomman of the South African Medial Association told sputnik news on Saturday.” … “We will only know this after two weeks. Yes, it is transmissible, but for now, as medical practitioners, we do not know why so much hype is being driven as we are still looking into it.” (read more)

Occam’s Razor – The new variant is being hyped because international governments need it to be hyped.  The biggest threat to politicians and the global financial system attempting to Build Back Better via enlarged government spending, is not COVID; the biggest threat is anger from the citizenry over the inflation the government spending and buying of debt is creating.

What is the quickest way to eliminate the political risks due to inflation? Shut down demand.  Lock down economies, turn the valves closed on economic demand and then watch price increases slow down.

When you are at war, you target the enemy supply lines.  A cunning move by the smart Panda targets Joe Biden’s domestic inflation vulnerability.

Beijing can see Joe Biden under internal political attack caused by massive domestic inflation.  China also knows Biden is weak strategically, handcuffed by the leftist demand for climate change / energy policy, and Beijing can see the administration trying to deflect from the consequences of their economic and energy policy.

After the U.S-China summit, used by cunning panda to size up the potential for backlash, anything China can do to further gain dominant position is now just a matter of easy chess moves on the board of dependency.

Business Insider – China’s strict COVID-19 quarantines are making it difficult for ships to change crews, contributing to lags in the shipping process that could worsen the supply chain crisis.

The country has a zero-Covid policy and is imposing ever more stringent containment measures as it tackles its latest wave of outbreaks. On Halloween night, for example, 30,000 people were locked inside Shanghai Disneyland after just one COVID-19 case was detected. And in the northern city of Shenyang, arriving overseas travelers face a 56-day quarantine.

Now, the export hub is imposing mandatory quarantines of up to seven weeks — around 49 days — for Chinese seafarers returning from overseas, Bloomberg reported. These take place in designated facilities and are typically paid for by the employers, according to information posted on various China shipping websites.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra exposes a link between mRNA vaccines and heart disease in an explosive British news broadcast.  Mahotra also outlines other scientific studies that have confirmed the link between Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in the aftermath of taking the vaccine, but the researchers are fearful to report them.

Dr. Malhotra is referencing his own empirical findings with a currently circulating study by renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry.  The most important element of the discussion is ongoing research reflecting data showing the COVID-19 Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines “dramatically increase” a common measure of heart risk in people.

The recently published “warning” in the journal Circulation by cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry, known as a pioneer in infant heart transplant surgery, is having reverberations around the cardiology community.  Gundry’s analysis was presented at the recent meeting of the American Heart Association. “We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.”

Within the British media interview, Dr. Malhotra cites these studies and his own research to say governments should immediately stop mandating the vaccines, and instead allow patients and doctors to determine the health risk factors.  Here’s the interview:

.

The PULS (Protein Unstable Lesion Signature) test measures the most clinically significant protein biomarkers that leak from cardiac lesions in the blood vessel walls, providing a measure of the body’s immune system response to arterial injury.

The Gundy study, published 8 November 2021, included 566 patients, aged 28 to 97 years, in a preventive cardiology practice.  Participants included men and women in equal proportions.  All participants have received a PULS Cardiac Test every 3-6 months for 8 years, including “post-vaccination.”

The PULS Cardiac Test measures multiple protein biomarkers and uses the results to calculate a 5-year risk score for new ACS.  From pre-Covid injection to post-Covid injection, the 5-year ACS PULS risk score increased from 11% to 25%.

If the report from Axios is accurate, the nomination of communist Saule Omarova to Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is sunk.

However, this could also be viewed as an Overton window maneuver where the next radical nominated will be only slightly less communist, and thereby gain appointment.

AXIOS – […] In phone call on Wednesday, Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), all members of the Senate Banking Committee, told Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) — the panel’s chairman — of their opposition. They’re joined in opposing her by Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). (more)

Senator Mark Warner’s opposition is a little unusual. Perhaps this is a downstream consequence of the recent Virginia election.  Regardless, at least this is one nomination that did not get through.   So far, Biden’s economic, energy and finance policies have been disastrous for Main Street; unfortunately, that also looks like a feature not a flaw.

Apparently the people behind Joe Biden realize the ridiculous prices at the gas pump are going to be a major political issue for them in the next election. As a result, they have decided to release 50 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR), enough for approximately 3 days of demand. [Announcement Here]

The strategic reserve is intended as an emergency supply in the event of war or national crisis that demands we have some insurance measures to protect ourselves. The SPR is the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, and the oil stocks are stored in underground salt caverns at four storage sites in Texas and Louisiana.

The oil in the strategic oil reserve was previously paid for by taxpayers. What Biden is doing right now is giving reserve oil to energy companies who then turn around and refine it into gasoline for taxpayers to purchase. We get to buy it twice, and Biden wants to be thanked for doing it.

The Biden administration is going to lower gas prices for taxpayers by allowing taxpayers to purchase their own oil.  Brilliant!

In related news, the Biden administration also held a call today [LINK] to announce their plan to ease inflation by printing more money.

NBC ran an interesting segment on how to cope with the massive inflation and additional costs caused by Joe Biden.  Given the collapsing state of the U.S. economy, and crushing price increases for products created by White House policy, the administration previously suggested we should lower our expectations.

NBC takes the ‘lower expectations‘ theme to entirely new levels.  I’m not sure they thought through the meaning of Thanksgiving prior to the suggestions; however, Biden’s NBC stenographers have a few interesting recommendations.

The first suggestion is don’t buy the Thanksgiving day turkey, it’s too expensive.  The second odd suggestion to save money is do not invite friends of family to dinner.  WATCH:

Holy smokes,this lady is impressive.  Virginia Lt. Governor-Elect Winsome Sears appears on CNN’s State of the Union show hosted by Dana Bash.

Dana Bash throws out several DNC leftist talking points in an effort to corner Winsome Sears, but the incoming Lieutenant Governor was having none of the nonsense. From the infrastructure bill, to Critical Race Theory, to COVID and vaccine propaganda, Ms. Winsome Sears just pummels the talking points of the political left.

When questioned about Virginia receiving benefits from the Biden infrastructure bill for broadband expansion, Sears points out the leftist infrastructure bill only permits money for broadband in Virginia regions with expanding immigrant populations, vis-a-vis illegal aliens.  The illegal alien residency is a requirement for the money, so how does that benefit Southwest Virginians?   Dana Bash is speechless.

When questioned about CRT in schools, Bash attempts the parseltongue framework that CRT is not “officially” in the curriculum.  Mrs Sears points out the specifics of where CRT does actually exist in the Democrat curriculum.  Dana Bash is uncomfortable, visibly uncomfortable, and speechless.

When questioned about COVID vaccinations for children, and the private personal vaccination status of Mrs. Sears herself, well, Winsome Sears just pummels the premise with facts, reason, science and the foundational block of liberty.  John King’s ex-wife shrinks.  Then comes the Rittenhouse mic drop at the end…  WATCH:

Plain talk…. heart talk…. strong talk…. Virginia has done very well with Winsome Sears.

Mrs. Sears is a communist Democrat’s worst nightmare.  The political left must be extremely fearful of this woman.

Never forget – the first thing Big Tech (writ large) did following the 2020 election was to modify all platform ‘terms of service’ with a new rule saying that any speech questioning the legitimacy of the election was akin to undermining the principles of democracy.  They knew the scam they executed with fraudulent mail-in ballots and manipulated election results in several key counties.

Never doubt – in the background of everything happening in/around the world of politics, the entire apparatus of people who work in the political industry know that Joe Biden was a fraudulently elected President.  They won’t admit it, they will deny it, they will even pretend not to know it; however, at the end of the day they do know what happened, and they know their participation.  As a result, they know exactly what “Let’s Go Brandon“, and “F**k Joe Biden” are all about.

Eye-opening stories like the one below about a local Colorado ‘mom’ activist named Sherronna Bishop, are a microcosm of the larger issue.

Mrs. Bishop is a mom and activist working to confront local corruption on the school board level, county election level, and congressional district level.  Mrs Bishop organized a network [AmericasMom.Net] and helped flip several school board seats through successfully applied tactical civics.  She also organized, supported and activated local district support for Lauren Boebert as a congressional candidate in 2020; they won.

The process of organized tactical civics is underway in thousands of local communities as more people become aware the solution to stopping federal overreach is to engage at a local level and draw a line.

The success is showing up everywhere coast to coast, from school board elections – to state representatives – to statewide office races.  The grassroots organizations are having a great deal of success.  However, that success is now considered a “domestic threat” by the federal political system.

Sherronna Bishop was also actively engaged in a review of the 2020 Mesa County, Colorado, election results with County Clerk Tina Peters and then sought out state level help for the issues discovered.  Then, in the face of COVID-19 government fiat and overreach, Bishop organized the local resistance.  In essence, Mrs. Sherronna Bishop -a wife, mom and committed patriot for her family- is the grass in what we would call grassroots community organizing.

….Last week the FBI kicked down her door and raided her home.

This is a little more interesting than Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks, because Kamala Harris was hand selected in the agreement between Barack Obama and James Clyburn to represent the public face of the professional political grievance industry.   In essence, activist agitation is the primary reason why team Obama put Kamala Harris into the office of the executive.   In the Rittenhouse aftermath, we see that Kamala purpose with a little more clarity.

In this video Kamala doesn’t wait to be asked, she rushes purposefully to the microphones and then instructs them on the purpose.  Its’ a rather telling moment in the background of why Kamala Harris was put into place. [27 seconds, WATCH]:

…”Hey guys, well it was a good trip and um, I know you have questions about the verdict; and the verdict really speaks for itself.  As many of you know I’ve spent a majority of my career working to make the criminal justice system more equitable, and clearly there’s a lot more work to do.”…

The people who control the current White House occupant have released a statement [SEE HERE] setting the stage for the federal government to trigger a DOJ investigation of Kyle Rittenhouse.  The Obama crew is leaning forward to trigger AG Merrick Garland by expressing that Joe Biden is “feeling angry and concerned“.

As the ideology is expressed, Rittenhouse should be investigated because he violated the civil rights of the “protestors” in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when he interfered with their constitutional right to free speech.  That’s why they call riots, protests.  All violence the leftists support is ‘speech’, and all speech the leftists do not support is labeled violence.

The recent precedent for this approach was established by the same White House team when Obama instructed former AG Eric Holder to investigate George Zimmerman in Orlando after his jury verdict of not guilty.   The FBI launched a year-long investigation of George Zimmerman *after* the verdict.   Again in Ferguson, Missouri, Obama instructed Holder to target police officer Darren Wilson in the aftermath of the Mike Brown shooting, and the decision not to press charges.  The FBI launched an immediate investigation.
