Beyond Alarming – Virginia Commonwealth University Healthcare Providers Brainstorm on Ways to Poison Federal Immigration Officials

If you thought the psychotic dancing COVID nurses and mentally unstable women in the teaching profession couldn’t get any more dangerous, take a close look at their latest tactic.

According to healthcare workers at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) medical systems, there is currently an ongoing effort to brainstorm ways to poison ICE and federal immigration officials.  This is seriously disturbing stuff going on inside the healthcare system.

This is one example of the protocols being promoted in various social media. “Malinda Rose Cook, a healthcare worker at VCU Health, posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylocholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and/or develop spray poisons to use on them. She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food.”

I do not like to be argumentative, but a reasonable person would think something like this might tend to be illegal; perhaps not.  Regardless, I think everyone should be very careful about reviewing the ideology of their doctors, nurses and healthcare workers just to be safe.

The woman in the video above is reportedly a “certified registered nurse” and “anesthesiologist” in the VCU and Duke University healthcare system. I’m not sure anyone would want this type of unbalanced and mentally disturbed person delivering their healthcare. Yikes.

President of European Parliament Bans EU Nations from Purchasing Russian Gas Without Paying Commission to Third Party

The headline is the reality of the thing.

In order to make themselves feel better, the European Union is now banning the EU countries from purchasing discounted Russian oil and gas directly. Instead, the EU will force their assembly to purchase Russian oil and gas from India at a premium.  The EU is still buying Russian oil and gas; however, paying more, they believe, will work out better for them in the long-term.  Go figure.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola made the announcement via X:

The actual target of this oil and gas ban is the nation of Hungary, who as a landlocked nation is dependent on the gas from Russia.  The EU ban expressly hurts the position of Hungary because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to kneel to the dictates of Brussels.

Prime Minister Orban has vowed to sue the European Parliament over the ban. The lawsuit will likely be supported by other EU countries who understand the stupidity of paying India for what amounts to a brokerage fee to deliver the same oil and gas.

Don’t Miss The Public Statement from Kingdom of Denmark, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever held a joint press conference at the North Sea Summit in Hamburg.  During the pontificating EU session much anxiety was expressed about the Kingdom of Denmark’s ownership of Greenland and their position to use NATO leverage to remain sovereign to their interests.

During question-and-answer session about EU energy, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen then said this about the position of overall European energy dependence.  WATCH:

Prime Minister Fredericksen couldn’t quite bring herself to say Trump was right; however, the reality of her statement proved that President Donald Trump was right.  Imagine that.

Big Picture: President Trump and Trade Using the Art of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

People might be interested in the recent stories of Canadian Premier Doug Ford and his reversal of position on Chinese EV production. Ontario Premier Ford now welcomes Chinese EVs into Canada.

Or people might be interested in the recent story of the EU announcing a historic trade deal with India. The European Union is now looking to find new markets to replace the U.S., while simultaneously agreeing to establish a new immigration/recruitment process to accept massive numbers of Indian migrants.

Yes, Canada reverses their position on trade with China, that’s odd. And somehow the EU immediately forgets their demands for India to stop buying Russian oil or face EU sanctions, another oddity.  This is like watching someone you don’t like, get engaged to your smelly, fat ex-girlfriend. [Matthew 15:14]

Canada and the EU take trade and economic positions seemingly against U.S. interests. Simultaneously Mexico modifies all their trade positions to come into alignment with the USA. Yesterday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Mexico will no longer ship oil to Cuba.

What’s going on?

Well, to really understand what is happening you need to look at President Trump’s responses to all of the individual issues outlined above and take a much bigger picture view.  President Trump is the master of the ‘self-fulfilling prophecy.’

♦ CANADA – When President Trump was asked about Prime Minister Mark Carney creating a new trade agreement with China, President Trump responded that he didn’t care – it was irrelevant to him.  Yet, simultaneously inside the USMCA President Trump has the power to veto any trade agreement between Mexico or Canada and a non-member nation.

So, why didn’t President Trump care?  Easy, because in President Trump’s mind there’s not going to be a USMCA; so, he really doesn’t care if Canada runs to violate it.  In real terms, Canada doing bilateral deals with other countries, especially deals potentially detrimental to the USA, only strengthens his position on dissolving the USMCA.

If Canada violates the terms and spirit of the USMCA, it makes dispatch of the unliked trade agreement even easier.  Canada is helping President Trump remove the congressional justification they could use to block him.  If Canada is violating the USMCA (CUSMA), Congress is kneecapped from interference.

Provoking Canada into a trade position, that puts them at a disadvantage trying to stop the dissolution of the CUSMA, stops Congress from opposing the fracture, and then opens the door to a bilateral trade agreement, is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy that is entirely controlled by President Donald Trump.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford Appears in Awkward Presser – We Love Chinese EVs Now

Ontario Premier Doug Ford went for a pizza with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.  Following the meeting Doug Ford appears on camera for a debrief to explain how he has reversed his opposition to Chinese EV imports.  The presser looks like a hostage video (prompted):

USMCA Article 32.10 – Non-Market Country FTA (key provisions):

“A Party intending to negotiate a free trade agreement with a non-market country shall inform the other Parties at least three months prior to commencing negotiations and, upon request, provide information regarding the objectives of those negotiations.

A Party that enters into a free trade agreement with a non-market country shall provide the other Parties with the full text of the agreement prior to signing.

If a Party enters into a free trade agreement with a non-market country, the other Parties may terminate this Agreement on six months’ notice and replace it with a bilateral agreement.” [SOURCE]
