At least 200 Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan, double the Biden administration's public claim of around 100, according to Rep. Darrell Issa's (R., Calif.) office.

Issa's office has to-date communicated with 68 GOP offices, barely a third of the total caucus, and told the Washington Free Beacon it is aware of at least 201 Americans seeking to return home. Issa's team worked over the past weeks to free more than 35 individuals from Afghanistan, and says that it is in contact with "several more." Issa's office believes there are far more than 200 still waiting to be rescued.

The information collected by the lawmaker's office is leading them to conclude that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and senior Biden administration officials are "lowballing" the total number of Americans trapped in Afghanistan after the botched withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country. Blinken testified before Congress earlier this week that he is aware of around 100 Americans who are in contact with the State Department about returning home — a number the administration has repeated for the past weeks.

Issa told the Free Beacon:

"This is the number nobody in the White House wants you to know. State has been intentionally vague, even though they have more information than anyone. That's why we're making sure the truth is told. The coverup is over."

Top US infectious diseases expert tells Telegraph he 'hopes' pandemic will be over by spring but there's 'no guarantee' after delta variant

Three shots will come to be viewed as the necessary requirement to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, Dr Anthony Fauci has told The Telegraph. The comments by America's top infectious diseases expert represented backing for the UK's decision to start rolling out booster shots to over-50s.

It came as the US Food and Drug Administration's advisory panel, in a shock move on Friday night, rejected a plan to offer Pfizer booster shots to Americans over the age of 16. They later voted in favour of authorising boosters of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine for everyone aged 65 and over.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Dr Fauci said:

"I believe, when all's said and done, it's going to turn out that the proper regimen, at least for an mRNA vaccine [like Pfizer], is the two original doses, the prime followed in three-to-four weeks by a boost, but also followed several months later by a third shot.

"So I think that ultimately, when we look back on this, it's going to be that the proper regimen, to have a complete and full regimen, will be a third shot boost. I'm favourably disposed to boosts based on the waning of immunity, as we're seeing very, very clearly as time goes on, in the data in the US [and] even more dramatic data from our Israeli colleagues.

"[There is] some indication of waning in the UK, which is the reason why the UK has, or will soon be, vaccinating people 50 years of age and older, as well as healthcare providers and those who are immuno-compromised."

Dr Fauci said it was not yet clear if children would need a third shot. He said:

"We don't know that. I think it's too early to make that determination."

Together, the U.S. government and American families are spending billions on medications, therapy, insurance, education, housing, etc. to address the epidemics of chronic childhood diseases. These include autism, ADHD, diabetes, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, allergies (including deadly peanut allergies), autoimmune conditions, obesity and more. The costs are staggering.

A recent government survey found that 1 in 45 children ages 3 through 17 have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The estimated average lifetime cost to care for a child with autism is $1.4 million if they do not have intellectual disability. An estimated 1 in 5 persons with autism also has intellectual disability. This increases the average lifetime cost of care to $2.3 million.

CHD [Children's Health Defense] is calling for a new paradigm that tries to stop the rise of chronic disease and cure those who are suffering now. Since these epidemics are occurring in children, the long-term consequences of so many sick children could be dire for our nation and economy in the future.

The rise in chronic illness in children is coterminous with the vaccine schedule.

In 1986, there were 11 vaccines and 12.8% of our nation's children had a chronic illness. In 2017, there were 54 vaccines — and 2011 figures report an astonishing 54% of children suffer from chronic illness or developmental disability — many of which have been associated with vaccine injuries. CHD believes the U.S. plan must be to do everything possible now to prevent chronic diseases in children and it should start with investigating our broken vaccine program.
Cures could be bad for business in the long run.

"I'll do one more mind experiment with you: If everyone on the planet were to get Covid and not get treated, the death-rate globally would be less than half a percent. I'm not advocating for that, because 35 million people would die. However, if we follow the advice of some of the global leaders- like Bill Gates who said last year said "7 billion people need to be vaccinated"- then the death-rate will be over 2 billion people! SO, WAKE UP! THIS IS WORLD WAR 3! We are seeing a level of malevolence that we haven't seen in the history of humanity!"

Did the regulators at the FDA know that all previous coronavirus vaccines had failed in animal trials and that the vaccinated animals became either severely ill or died?

Yes, they did.

Did they know that previous coronavirus vaccines had a tendency to "enhance the infection" and "make the disease worse"?

Yes.

Did Dr Anthony Fauci know that coronavirus vaccines had repeatedly failed and increased the severity of the infection?

Yes, he did. (See here: Fauci on ADE)

A pro-Israel group held a discussion three days ago that showcased its utter indifference to Palestinian lives. Israeli reporter Ohad Hemo told the Israel Policy Forum, an American Israel lobby organization, that after Israeli soldiers "easily" killed more than 40 Palestinians in the West Bank in two months, the army chief said, "This is not right,' and ordered snipers to "relax."

Susie Gelman, the chair of the Israel Policy Forum, had no response to the shocking report, but turned the discussion back to her "cause for concern" — Palestinian prisoners escaping an Israeli prison.

Rebel News was on scene this afternoon as the People's Party of Canada hosted a campaign rally outside the CBC headquarters in downtown Toronto.

People's Party Leader Maxime Bernier addressed a crowd of hundreds who gathered next to the CBC building at Simcoe Park to show their support.

The rally was marketed as a "Defund the CBC" protest, in an effort to shine a light on the party's promise to cut government funding to the state broadcaster.

The United States and Australia went to extraordinary lengths to keep Paris in the dark as they secretly negotiated a plan to build nuclear submarines, scuttling France's largest defense contract and so enraging President Emmanuel Macron that on Friday he ordered the withdrawal of France's ambassadors to both nations.

Mr. Macron's decision was a stunning and unexpected escalation of the breach between Washington and Paris, on a day that the two countries had planned to celebrate an alliance that goes back to the defeat of Britain in the Revolutionary War.

Yet it was driven by France's realization that two of its closest allies have been negotiating secretly for months. According to interviews with American and British officials, the Biden administration had been in talks since soon after President Biden's inauguration about arming the Australian navy with a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines that could patrol areas of the South China Sea and beyond that Beijing is trying to dominate with its own military forces.

But one thing was standing in their way: a $60 billion agreement that called for Australia to buy a dozen far less sophisticated, and far noisier, conventionally-powered submarines from France.

Taipei has reported that 10 Chinese aircraft crossed into its air-defense zone, just one day after Taiwan pledged an extra $9 billion to beef up its military against Beijing.

On Friday, Taiwan's Ministry of Defense issued a statement confirming that 10 planes belonging to China's People's Liberation Army (PLA), including six J-16 and two J-11 fighters, alongside one anti-submarine and one reconnaissance aircraft, had entered the island's southwest air-defense zone.

Canada is edging closer to its federal election on Monday, with Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party and Erin O'Toole's Conservative Party in a tight race for first place. But the once fringe People's Party of Canada has emerged as a potential spoiler, riding a wave of anti-lockdown and vaccine mandate sentiment.

In 2018, after a falling out with his party and amid a backlash over statements he made about immigration and multiculturalism, then member of Parliament Maxime Bernier quit the Conservatives and formed his own federal party.

Mr Bernier, a former Canadian foreign minister, is a populist with a libertarian bent who supporters have nicknamed "Mad Max". He has previously described his upstart party, the People's Party of Canada (PPC), as a coalition of people "disenchanted with traditional politicians".

Italy is to make it compulsory for all workers to have a Covid "green pass" - proof of vaccination, a negative test or recovery from the virus.

The measures are a first for Europe and some of the strictest in the world.


Anyone without a pass will reportedly face suspension from work and may have their pay stopped after five days.
