Things are really super sketchy in Australia.  The covid restrictions have been getting increasingly more intense, as a result two weekends ago massive protests started.  However, this past weekend thousands of police were deployed in rings around metropolitan areas to stop people from assembling to protest.  At the same time this past weekend,  Google blocked Sky News from uploading news feed to their YouTube channel.

Check out this video report.  The Australian army have been dispatched to keep citizens compliant and locked-down.   The vaccination rate is approximately 20%, and the government intends to keep everyone locked down until the vaccination rate reaches 70%.  According to Prime Minister Morrison, that threshold *should be* achieved by the end of the year.  That means Australians will remain locked-down for the remainder of this year.

Nuts !

I’m pretty sure everyone here could predict the White House would need to target any state or region that is not restricting freedom and applying ridiculous COVID rules and regulations.  States that do not force vaccinations, force masks, and generate mandates against their citizens are essentially enemies of the politically reliant dictators.

As a consequence, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis allowing his state to remain open and operating as normal, without arbitrary rules, restrictions and mandates, stands in open defiance of the demanded federal overreaction.  The White House cannot have Florida functioning without panic and fear, and still sell their doom and gloom forecast; so DeSantis becomes the enemy.

This is where the David Plouffe messaging comes into the White House press briefing room as Press Secretary Jen Psaki takes direct aim at DeSantis earlier today.  (video prompted) WATCH:

.

Everything about that soundbite is bait.  This is typical political planning and strategy being deployed with the help of corporate media.  The White House wants to draw DeSantis into a direct conflict so they can use false claims in media to create a totally fabricated narrative.  DeSantis would be well advised not to take the bait.

During a press conference today to push vaccines as the primary mitigation effort against COVID-19 ‘delta variant’ [full video here], New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told private businesses to start a vaccine-only admission practice.

Cuomo said he thinks implementing “vaccine-only admission” will help incentivize New Yorkers to get inoculated. “If you say to people, ‘Well, if you don’t have a vaccine, you can’t get into these establishments,’ then you will see a real incentive to get vaccinated,” he said. WATCH:

The Ugly New Yorker

The attitude displayed in this brief soundbite is exactly the reason why many people in the land of freedom have a horrible opinion of New Yorkers in general.  The self-centered arrogance and condescending tone on display is ugly to many people, myself included.  This attitude is why people don’t want New Yorker’s moving to their area.

My vaccination status is none of your business.  If you want to live in fear then stay home.  Your paranoia is not my concern.

As the nation is distracted by various COVID-centered discussion and media debate amid headlines of forced vaccinations, mask mandates and various other COVID compliance fiats, there is something rather troubling happening in congress.

Earlier today, the UniParty Senate (Democrats and Republicans) voted to approve cloture on HR-3684 the Senate version of the House infrastructure bill.  The cloture vote now means the bill will be debated and opens the Senate floor for amendments to the bill.  However, this cloture vote is odd….

…. BECAUSE THE D**NED SENATE BILL ISN’T EVEN WRITTEN YET!

That’s right.  The U.S. Senate just voted to invoke cloture and begin debate on a bill that has not even been written.  This is how dysfunctional the legislative branch has become.  Not a single senator has seen the text of the bill they just voted to start debating.

The UniParty exists in both chambers of the legislative branch, but the UniParty in the Senate is absurd in the extreme.  How can a senator approve moving forward to debate the merits of a bill that has not even been written?

This is where the manipulative Senate scheme called reconciliation is surfacing again, circa ObamaCare origin 2010.  Reconciliation is supposed to be a  final process where a budgetary spending bill from the House and a spending bill from the Senate are reconciled.  However, just like the ObamaCare fiasco the Senate is using reconciliation to actually create a bill from the beginning, AND you are not going to like what they are about to put in it.

Either Nancy Pelosi has magic and mysterious political power to control the coronavirus, or the mandated mask nonsense is really about raw political power and manipulative control over the American people.  You decide.

Nancy Pelosi showcases how her mask mandate is really nothing more than political theater.  Watch what happens during a ceremonial swearing-in for Congressman-elect Jake Ellzey on 7/30/2021… WATCH:

The White House would never credit Donald Trump with the vaccine rollout unless there was something negative about the vaccine that is going to hit the newswires; that is a no-brainer.

That baseline is why CTH said two months ago to watch for the moment when the White House credits Trump with the vaccine, because that’s the moment when: (1) the vaccine was going to be identified as dangerous; and/or (2) reports would show the vaccine did not work.

Today the White House credited President Trump with the vaccine:

….And right on cue, the late-evening reporting indicates that tomorrow the CDC will announce the vaccine doesn’t work (against the Delta variant).   Hence, the need for masks, social distancing and/or possibly lockdowns 2.0.   Reminder, when the Intelligence Branch needs to get the public relations engaged, they use the New York Times.

[New York Times] – […] New research showed that vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant carry tremendous amounts of the virus in the nose and throat, she said in an email responding to questions from The New York Times.

The finding contradicts what scientists had observed in vaccinated people infected with previous versions of the virus, who mostly seemed incapable of infecting others.

That conclusion dealt Americans a heavy blow: People with so-called breakthrough infections — cases that occur despite full vaccination — of the Delta variant may be just as contagious as unvaccinated people, even if they have no symptoms. (link)

Bottom line of this narrative shift… vaccinations don’t work. Everything goes back to square one. Blame Trump, not us.

Earlier today, the installed occupant of the White House announced that all federal workers will be required to undergo vaccinations against COVID-19 or subject themselves to weekly tests to prove their health status.  Going a step further, the administration announced all private contractors for the federal government will be held to the same standard as federal employees. [Video Link]

“Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status.  Anyone who does not attest, or is not vaccinated, will be required to mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they have acquired COVID, socially distance, and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.

Likewise, today, I am directing my administration to take steps to apply similar standards to all federal contractors. If you want to do business with the federal government get your workers vaccinated.”

Joe Biden was visibly unsettled -straining to keep his focus in place- as he read from the carefully prepared script on the teleprompter.  During the questioning following the prepared comments Biden said, “If in fact you are unvaccinated, you present a problem to yourself, to your family and to those with whom you work”.  These comments highlight his intent to apply as much federal pressure as possible to force vaccinations.

When asked about why not just federally mandate forced vaccinations of Americans, Joe Biden said the DOJ was still looking into the legality of whether or not that is possible.  When asked about the federal government requiring proof of vaccination, Biden said he anticipates more businesses requiring vaccinations, and proof of vaccination.

They are not using armbands, yet; however, one school district in Galesburg, Illinois, is issuing color-coded identification to visibly label vaccinated and non-vaccinated school district employees.   This is how the process of stigmatization is begun; be aware of what is coming.

According to sources in Illinois School District 205 (Galesburg, IL), School Superintendent John Asplund sent the notification (screenshot below) to school staff members announcing a new staff ID badge policy. [Galesburg CUSD #205 LINK]

School staff now have the option to change from the customary white ID badge to a yellow ID badge to indicate that they have received the COVID-19 vaccine.  This policy is currently only limited to school staff and does not apply to students.  However, it can be anticipated the school may begin to visibly identify non-vaccinated students.

This is a slippery slope where peer pressure and stigmatization become a serious issue.  How long will this remain voluntary?  This creates a dynamic of virtue-signalling peer pressure on school staff to publicly display their private health information.   As noted by one of the affected recipients of the notification, “This policy will prompt a lot of bullying, ostracism, and cliquish behavior.”

The Biden Administration, Nancy Pelosi, the CDC and scientific establishment along with the Democrat machine writ large, have re-instituted a new indoor national mask mandate that everyone is expected to abide by.  However, check out Joe Biden today in Pennsylvania…. notice anything missing?

Not a mask in sight; which highlights the reality – Democrats do not even believe their own message.  It’s not really hypocrisy because they know the mask narrative is a fraud.  They know their mask narrative is a purposeful ruse.  Their actual behavior is a physical representation of the lie they know they are selling.

As Donald Trump Jr rightly said, the mask mandate has nothing to do with science, it is “actually all about protecting the political power of left-wing Democrats who want to use COVID as an excuse to fundamentally transform America forever.”  Democrats need COVID in order to advance their objectives.

Katie Benner sounds like an American girl next door right?  Alas, a little digging below the surface reveals something rather specific about the New York Times journalist.

Ms. Katie Benner made headlines yesterday by tweeting: “Today’s #January6thSelectCommittee underscores the America’s current, essential natsec dilemma: Work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician’s supporters enemies of the state,” the previously little-known Benner wrote.

Perhaps the purposeful avatar knocked people off the trail.  Yes, the statement is jaw-dropping from a New York Times journalist who is openly calling Trump supporters “enemies of the state,” a tweet she soon deleted once the sunlight poured in.

Perhaps her NYT editors influenced the decision to delete the comments; or, well, perhaps the real people behind Ms. Benner noted she had gone a little too far – this time.

As it turns out, Ms. Benner is not quite what she appears…. not even close.
