In a public comment to the CDC, molecular biologist and toxicologist Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., called to immediately halt Covid vaccine production and distribution. Citing fertility, blood-clotting concerns (coagulopathy), and immune escape, Dr. Lindsay explained to the committee the scientific evidence showing that the coronavirus vaccines are not safe.

On April 23, 2021, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices held a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. The focus of this ACIP meeting was blood clotting disorders following Covid vaccines. Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay spoke to the CDC during the time set aside for public comment.

The censorship on social media in particular and the internet in general is relentless. Here is a slightly edited, annotated censorship-proof transcript of Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay's 3-minute comment.

You can listen to her testimony on YouTube below (for now, anyway. YouTube will likely censor it).



Comment: Dr. LIndsay's partial statement, additional commentary and information follows.


Comment: Time will tell. The 'outcome has been set in motion'. It is predicated on believability by the masses, of which many are dutifully enqueue. Knowledge protects.

Best of the Web: All breaking loose in Israel as IDF obliterates apartment buildings in Gaza, Hamas fires 130 rockets on Tel Aviv, Jews and Arabs attack each other

Gaza Hamas rockets tel aviv retaliation

Update(3:03pm): In the last hours there's been massive escalation as Hamas and Islamic Jihad has unleashed wave and wave of rockets on central Israel, and targeting Tel Aviv.

Hamas has announced that it launched 130 rockets on Tel Aviv and central Israel through its TV channels moments ago. While it's unclear if this is exaggerated, rockets appear to be landing across Israel, many slipping through the Iron Dome anti-air defenses.

Comment: Sputnik reports on the latest escalations:

Israel's 'Iron Dome' seems to be mostly, but not completely, effective:
Multiple videos shared on social media appear to depict the Israeli air defence system in action. The Iron Dome system can ostensibly be seen intercepting multiple rockets over the city, as air raid sirens sound off in the background.


So far, hundreds of explosions have been recorded across southern and central Israel, per media reports. Sirens could be heard in settlements near Gaza, Beersheba and Tel Aviv and its environs.


There have been Israeli casualties, though as usual, nowhere near the rate of Palestinians:
A woman has been killed in the city of Holon, south of Tel Aviv, as a volley of rockets was fired towards the city, the Israeli police said on Tuesday. A local ambulance service previously told Sputnik that three people, including a child, had been injured near Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, Channel 20 reported that one person in Rishon LeZion died as a result of the rocket attacks.
Hamas declares a victory as it claims to have 'changed the balance of power' between Israel and Palestine:

Ismail Haniyeh, chief of the Islamiс group Hamas, has claimed the Palestinians have managed to accomplish a "new" balance of power in their fight against Israel after the militant group intensified its rocket attacks on central areas of the Jewish state on Tuesday evening.

"We have achieved victory in the battle for Jerusalem, the defence of Jerusalem", Haniyeh said, referring to the city as "the axis of conflict".

"What is taking place right now is an honour for our people, our nation. There is a new balance of power right now", the Hamas leader argued as he pledged that his group "would not abandon Jerusalem" and would not give up "resistance".
Palestinians across the Occupied Territories have taken to the streets, encouraged by Hamas' retaliatory strikes. Netanyahu is struggling to control the situation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared a state of emergency in Lod, a mixed Arab-Jewish city that has recently seen widespread and violent rioting.


The prime minister's office announced the decision after a special meeting of the nation's top security and legal officials. Amir Ohana, the police minister, has confirmed that he will use his authority to carry out the orders.

According to the statement, Netanyahu called on law enforcement officials to ensure the restoration of public order and strengthen ground forces as soon as possible.

Alongside Netanyahu at the meeting were Ohana, Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz, Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat, and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.

Earlier, Netanyahu and Gantz ordered Border Police battalions from the Judea and Samaria region to be "immediately" transferred to the area.


Local media and eyewitnesses reported that the country's police conducted an emergency evacuation of the city's Jewish residents amid violent unrest and clashes between Arabs and Israelis. According to videos shared on social media, shootings have since erupted in the city.



Hamas reports the death of one of its senior officers says The Times of Israel:
Hamas's armed wing confirmed the death of a senior commander and a number of fighters in an Israeli targeted strike.

"With pride, fortitude and defiance, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades take pride in... the martyrdom of the commander Bassem Issa," the armed Hamas branch says in a statement.

According to the terror group, Issa was Hamas's Gaza City commander in the al-Qassam Brigades.

Best of the Web: In revenge attack, Irish police abduct Christian activist's children...

irish police attack christian children
Update 2, 9th May: For a ten minute interview with Pat Sweeney, the man who had his children abducted by Irish police, please go here to overdeewall.com. In the video, Mr Sweeney gives his truthful side of events, rebutting unfounded rumours being spread online of a custody battle between the two partners.

Those rumours have been spread online by Trotskyite Irish political factions who, in a feat of extreme mental gymnastics typical of the Irish far-left, decided to attack Mr Sweeney because their rival centre-right political groups were the only politicians who publicly came to Mr Sweeney's aid. The lunacy of the Irish left truly knows no bounds.

The key takeaway for our international readers is the fact that Irish people are deathly afraid of their kids being taken into care with TUSLA, the corrupt Irish child protection agency that has been involved in multiple corruption scandals in the past decade.

Best of the Web: The American Cyber Stasi will suppress all digital dissent in Biden's dystopia

american stasi
The dystopian hellhole that I predicted would become a fait accompli following Biden's confirmation as President by the Electoral College is quickly becoming a reality after CNN's recent report that the US' security services are considering contracting the services of so-called "researchers" as a legal workaround for spying on average Americans. According to the outlet, these ostensibly independent contractors would be charged with infiltrating the social media circles of white supremacists and other supposedly terrorist-inclined domestic forces within the country. The report claims that the intent is to "help provide a broad picture of who was perpetuating the 'narratives' of concern", after which "the FBI could theoretically use that pool of information to focus on specific individuals if there is enough evidence of a potential crime to legally do so".

In other words, the US' security services essentially want to establish a "Cyber Stasi" of "fellow" citizens who spy on one another and produce purported "evidence" of "potential crimes" for "justifying" the FBI's "legal" investigations. CNN quoted an unnamed senior intelligence official who asked, "What do you do about ideology that's leading to violence? Do you have to wait until it leads to violence?", thereby hinting that this initiative might likely be exploited to stop so-called "pre-crime", or crimes before they occur. Put another way, even those average Americans who practice their constitutionally enshrined right to the freedom of speech to peacefully dissent against the Democrats' consolidation of their de facto one-party rule of the country might find themselves targeted by the security services depending on how the contracted "researchers" spin their words.

Being aware of fraud allegations against the White Helmets' international cashbox, the Mayday Rescue Foundation, the Dutch government opted to keep it on the hush-hush, the newspaper de Volkskrant reported on 7 May. What's behind the supposed cover-up attempt and what else are European governments hiding?

The Mayday Rescue Foundation was registered in the Netherlands in 2014 as a not-for-profit entity by James Le Mesurier, a former British Army officer. Since its inception, Mayday has provided support to the Syria Civil Defence, commonly known as the White Helmets, a controversial group acting under the guise of a "humanitarian" organisation in the jihadist-held areas of Syria.

Best of the Web: Cyberattack forces shutdown of largest gasoline pipeline in United States - UPDATES

pipeline
The largest gasoline pipeline on the East Coast, and the US in general, was shut down on Friday after its operator struggled to contain a cyberattack which threatened its systems. The 5,500-mile Colonial Pipeline, which is the single largest refined-products pipeline in the United States, halted transit as the company was forced to take "certain systems offline to contain the threat, which has temporarily halted all pipeline operations," according to The Wall Street Journal on Saturday. It's reportedly still offline into early Saturday.

Colonial's network is responsible for supplying fuel that originates with refiners on the Gulf Coast to most of the eastern and southern US, accounting for over 2.5 million barrels per day in gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, or other refined products transferred, making up 45% of all the East Coast's fuel supply. It spans from Texas through southern states and up to New Jersey.

"At this time, our primary focus is the safe and efficient restoration of our service and our efforts to return to normal operation," the Alpharetta, Georgia-based company stated. "This process is already underway, and we are working diligently to address this matter and to minimize disruption to our customers."

Comment: As anticipated, the attack's knock-on effects have garnered fuel shortages along the pipeline route and widespread attention to the idea of 'cyberattacks':
Gas stations along the Southeast coast are being slammed by panic buying and long lines amid the shutdown of the biggest oil pipeline in the US from a crippling cyberattack believed to be orchestrated by a Russia-based criminal group.

The closure of the 5,500-mile Colonial Pipeline, which carries more than 100 million gallons of fuel from Texas to New Jersey each day, has stretched into its fifth day.

It sparked wild scenes of panic buying across Georgia, Florida, Virginia and South Carolina — with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp even declaring states of emergency in their areas. Kemp also issued an executive order suspending Georgia's gas tax through Saturday to help offset the costs of higher fuel prices.

"I DON'T HAVE ANY GAS AND THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DOESN'T HAVE GAS!! WHAT IN THE 2021 IS GOING ON !!" one panicked driver tweeted.

Yasheeka Wiggin told CBS News that the "unbelievable" lines in Marion, S.C., left her thinking "it was a catastrophe coming!"

"I've seen all these cars waiting and I was like, 'OMG. I have to fill my tank up!'" Wiggin told the network.

Many motorists took to social media to share shocking scenes of massive lines at gas stations — often just to find no gas left.

Others shared images of panic-buyers filling up several gas canisters at once, with memes comparing it to the rush to buy toilet paper at the start of the coronavirus lockdown last year.


Tallahassee Democrat journalist Alicia Devine posted video of an "insane" line of cars waiting for gas in the Florida state capital — one of the few she found that even had any.

"I've visited five gas stations this morning and the Costco one is the first to have gas," she wrote.

"A Costco employee just told a car trying to get in line 'you'll have to find the end of the line. I don't know where that is.'"

In South Carolina, Greg Suskin of WSOC9 posted a video of cars waiting at a gas station that had completely run dry, saying that "people here told me they'd been to other stations and found the same."

When he finally found some, he said a station worker stuck an "out of gas" sign on his pump as he got the very last of its supply.

"Everyone's panicking," Citi Stop gas station worker Jessica Alcocer told the Citizen Times of the store in Asheville, N.C., that ran out Monday afternoon.


The American Automobile Association (AAA) said that the biggest problem was actually panic buyers draining supplies.

"People hear something and panic," Tiffany Wright, spokeswoman for AAA Carolinas, told the Citizen Times, insisting supplies were otherwise normal.

Still, one TikToker wrote, "They will try telling you that there is no gas shortage. NC, SC, FL, AL, AR, TN, KY, GA, and VA disagree."

Best of the Web: Canadian pastor who prevented police from shutting down Easter service arrested and charged with "organizing an illegal in-person gathering"


Comment: What's more, they tracked his phone and busted him with a platoon of cop cruisers on the open highway, then handcuffed him (and hogtied his brother)...


Pastor Artur Pawlowski

A Canadian pastor who went viral last month for ordering out police who showed up to his church on Easter weekend was arrested Saturday for violating COVID-19 limits on gatherings set by a new court order.

Pastor Artur Pawlowski, the head of Calgary's Street Church in Alberta, and his brother, Dawid Pawlowski, were arrested and charged with "organizing an illegal in-person gathering," the Calgary Police Service said in a statement.

Video capturing the arrests showed several police vehicles parked on the street as officers carried the handcuffed brothers, who appeared to refuse to walk on their own. An onlooker can be heard telling the officers, "Shame on you guys, this is not Communist China. Don't you have family and kids? Whatever happened to 'Canada, God keep our land glorious and free'?"


Comment: Something similarly outrageous occurred in Ireland recently. A man who was in attendance at an 'illegal' mass filmed police 'breaking it up'. Days later cops showed up at his home at 3am, abducted his children and put him in the slammer for the night.

The ostensible reason was because 'his mother' had called police to report fears for his mental well-being, allowing police to arrest him and take his children away under a legal loophole that required no warrant. The man's mother died in 1997...

Barely a month has passed since Jared Kushner, former US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and Middle East envoy, declared the Arab-Israeli conflict over.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Kushner declared that "the political earthquake" unleashed by the latest wave of Arab normalisations with Israel wasn't over. Indeed, Kushner enthused, more than 130,000 Israelis had already visited Dubai since Trump hosted the signing of the Abraham Accords last September.

New friendly relations were flowering between Jews and Arabs. Just wait for the direct flights between Morocco and Israel. Saudi Arabia would soon be next. "We are witnessing the last vestiges of what has been known as the Arab-Israeli conflict," Kushner wrote triumphantly.

Best of the Web: What critical race theory is really about

black panther
© REUTERS
Critical race theory is fast becoming America's new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it — and of those who have, many don't understand it. This must change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.

To explain critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism.

Originally, the Marxist left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Karl Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: The workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class and usher in a new socialist society.

During the 20th century, a number of regimes underwent Marxist-style revolutions, and each ended in disaster. Socialist governments in the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Cuba and elsewhere racked up a body count of nearly 100 million people. They are remembered for gulags, show trials, executions and mass starvations. In practice, Marx's ideas unleashed man's darkest brutalities.

By the mid-1960s, Marxist intellectuals in the West had begun to acknowledge these failures. They recoiled at revelations of Soviet atrocities and came to realize that workers' revolutions would never occur in Western Europe or the United States, which had large middle classes and rapidly improving standards of living. Americans in particular had never developed a sense of class consciousness or class division. Most Americans believed in the American dream — the idea that they could transcend their origins through education, hard work and good citizenship.

But rather than abandon their political project, Marxist scholars in the West simply adapted their revolutionary theory to the social and racial unrest of the 1960s. Abandoning Marx's economic dialectic of capitalists and workers, they substituted race for class and sought to create a revolutionary coalition of the dispossessed based on racial and ethnic categories.

Best of the Web: Apartheid instituted in France: Parliament approves 'Covid-19 passports for large gatherings'

Covid-19 vaccination in Nice
© Eric Gaillard / ReutersPeople wait to be given a Covid-19 vaccine in Nice, France, April 29, 2021.
A key committee in France's parliament has given the green light for the so-called Covid-19 'health passes' that people will have to carry when attending crowded events and venues. Some MPs have said it may lead to discrimination.


Comment: May lead to discrimination?? It's the first formal plank of Apartheid - under the extremely thin guise of a medical emergency. It's the ultimate in discrimination. Remember, until 2020, medical information was legally privileged between patient and doctor...


The Law Committee of the National Assembly, the lower house of France's parliament, has approved a bill on health passes that citizens will be required to carry in order to attend gatherings of more than 1,000 people. According to the government's plan, the pass will serve as proof that a person has been vaccinated, has tested negative for Covid-19, or has recovered from the virus.


Comment: "PAPERS PLEASE!" Well folks, we're officially back living under fascism.


Comment: ...at first.

But these are political types speaking here. They will say WHATEVER to assuage public concerns. And then they'll betray those concerns without a second thought.

The virus is so "dangerous" that they are coercing people to get the vaccine. In France and in many other countries, some kind of Covid 'passport' or 'ID' will soon be required for international travel also. Elsewhere, in Serbia, the state is bribing people to get vaccinated.

This is like Pavlov's experiments on a grand scale - and humans are the dogs this time.

If Covid-19 was so deadly, would all these tyrannical, illogical, and idiotic measures be necessary?

The programming of the general population is so deep that most of them can't see what is really going on.
