RCMP member sent on unpaid leave writes this powerful letter you must read

Hi everyone,

Since most members make a goodbye email before they leave, I figured I should as well, despite the "special" circumstances around my departure. Anyways, my time here in the RCMP is up. For now. The low T wannabe tyrants in Ottawa have decided that I can no longer serve as a police officer because I refuse to tell them if I have submitted to their "vaccine" edict. I've served in the RCMP for 21 years and one of the first things I said to any person I ever arrested was "you don't have to say anything to me." Unfortunately, our government has told me that I have to tell them what's in my body, and if the right drug is not inside me, I have to get it as condition of my continuing employment, human rights be damned. Why did I put vaccine in quotations above you ask? More on that later. Buckle up and tighten the straps on your government mandated shame muzzle, this goodbye email will likely ruffle some feathers.

My journey to this point of our dystopian, medical, apartheid state started like many of yours. Watching the television almost 2 years ago as reports started coming in of some strange virus out of Wuhan. I was a little concerned, but not much. You see, for the last 10 years of my life I had spent a lot of time as an amateur researcher of history and learned to my dismay that the official narrative of most events is usually a little suspect at best. Like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or the January 6th "insurrection" in D.C., the examples are sadly numerous.

'Serious, substantive': Biden, Putin agree to intensify diplomacy amid Ukraine tensions

U.S. President Joe Biden has urged his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to de-escalate simmering tensions in a phone call aimed at intensifying diplomacy amid a buildup of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine and the Kremlin's demands for sweeping security guarantees.

During a 50-minute call on December 30, the two leaders held a "serious and substantive" exchange to set the groundwork for three sets of upcoming talks early next month, a senior Biden administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic matters, told reporters.

U.S. and Russian officials will meet January 9-10 in Geneva to discuss arms control and mounting tensions over Ukraine under their bilateral Strategic Stability Dialogue. Then a separate meeting of the Russia-NATO Council will be held in Brussels on January 12, followed a day later by a meeting in Vienna within the framework of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which includes the United States, its European allies, Ukraine, and Russia.

High energy costs - the Christmas gift of 'green' politicians

Kerry

The coming cold of winter is being paired with "green-inspired" energy policies that have created higher energy prices and fuel shortages.

Historically, winters have been big killers. But centuries of innovation made us more resilient to the cold as we fully utilized the naturally available fossil fuels to generate heat and electricity. However, today these modern advantages are being sacrificed at the altar of climate change in exchange for the purported magic of wind, solar and batteries.

Though the pandemic-led economic recovery has contributed to a surge in energy demand, the real reason for shortages and price hikes is the anti-fossil fuel policies of political leaders.

In the U.S., motorists have faced rising gas prices as President Joe Biden has suffered dropping approval ratings in polls. The president first blamed OPEC for the price hike and then pleaded to the same OPEC to increase production. International oil prices are inelastic, meaning they closely follow the rise and fall of demand. It should be no surprise that fuel costs rose as a result of Biden's restraint on all things fossil.

Comment: Recouping the mechanisms to re-attain natural resources will take years - should reason dawn and the course is reversed. Given the disintegrating mentality in Washington - along with years of public counter-programming, this is a long shot unless everyday Americans come to their senses, band together and relentlessly make demands.

Hypocrite: AOC hasn't been at her job in person since mid-December due to 'ongoing public health emergency,' but she can hit up Miami?

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) apparently believes that it is now safe enough to travel cross country to Florida for a holiday getaway in the sun, but not safe enough to travel to the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., for her taxpayer-funded job.

On Thursday night, National Review published a photo that the outlet claimed shows AOC and her boyfriend clinking drinks outside of a Miami restaurant despite the COVID-19 pandemic — which Democrats have been warning is still a major threat to the nation.

In fact, even AOC has been saying the coronavirus is still a problem. Just a little over two weeks ago, AOC informed Congress she could not cast votes or attend official proceedings in person because of the "ongoing public health emergency" and had to have a proxy do her job for her.

Comment: Following up on AOC's (latest) meltdown, RT reports:
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) responded to the wave of criticism she received over photos of her vacationing in Florida, claiming her Republican critics are taking out their "sexual frustrations."

Ocasio-Cortez directly responded to critics on Friday after they accused her of fleeing her home state of New York amid a coronavirus surge and sweeping restrictions to take a vacation in Florida, which has been heavily criticized by Democrats for rejecting the use of strict Covid mandates, many of which Ocasio-Cortez supports. The progressive Democrat faced massive backlash after photos of her and her boyfriend dining out in Miami Beach were published the night before.

"If Republicans are mad they can't date me they can just say that," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in one Friday tweet, pushing back against accusations of hypocrisy and elitism.


Just . . . . . . wow. What a loon.


Ocasio-Cortez also took a swipe at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' office, which had joined in on the mocking the night before. "Hasn't Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks?" she tweeted, referring to the Republican governor's absence from the public eye that has sparked speculation.


On Tuesday, the Democratic mayor of Orange County said Floridians "should be outraged" with DeSantis. While the governor has not commented on the issue, Fox News reported on Friday, citing a DeSantis spokesperson, that the governor accompanied his wife, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, to a treatment center on December 29.
The tone-deaf AOC strikes again.

Nancy Pelosi scoops up call options for Google, Disney, Roblox stocks

Congress is in recess for the holidays — but Nancy Pelosi has kept busy playing the market.

The Democratic majority leader and her husband, Paul Pelosi, recently bought millions of dollars worth of call options for stocks including Google, Salesforce, Roblox and Disney, financial disclosures published Thursday show.

The purchases occurred from Dec. 17 to Dec. 21 — just days after Pelosi insisted in a press conference that members of Congress should be allowed to trade individual stocks despite often being privy to insider information that can move markets.

"We're a free-market economy," Pelosi told reporters, adding that members of Congress "should be able to participate in that."

The Pelosi family's trades this month include Google and Salesforce call options worth between $500,000 and $1 million each, as well as Roblox call options valued at between $100,000 and $250,000. The duo also bought up between $250,000 and $500,000 in calls for chipmaker Micron Technology and between $100,000 and $250,000 of Disney call options in disclosures that were earlier reported by Congresstrading.com.

Comment: This is not Pelosi's first go-around applying privilege to gain advantage.

Passport

Putin changes Russian passport rules

After insisting that Russia needs more people, the country's leader has proposed ways to make it easier to become a citizen. Russian President Vladimir Putin has submitted a bill that could simplify the process of acquiring citizenship for a wide range of people, including those who lived within the borders of the Soviet Union and their children.

The draft law, which was submitted to the State Duma on Wednesday, proposes to make the procedure of becoming a Russian citizen easier for individuals falling into more than 20 categories.

Under the legislation, the path to obtaining Russian passports would be simplified for citizens of the former USSR and those living in its ex-republics. It would also apply to direct relatives of people who permanently resided on the territory of the old Russian Empire or Soviet Union. Individuals who have close family who are citizens of the world's largest country would also be eligible. Simplified citizenship for spouses will only be possible if they have conceived at least one child during their marriage, however. Investors seeking to come to Russia are not on the list of those entitled to the simplified acquisition of citizenship.

The document also proposes to expand the powers of the president to determine the category of people who have the right to a simplified path of obtaining Russian citizenship "not only for humanitarian purposes, but for any other reason."

The bill comes shortly after the Russian leader commented on the demographic issues he said his country was facing. Speaking last week at his annual marathon press conference, Putin said the nation's population of 146 million was "insufficient" to cover such a vast territory. Noting that there were only around 81 million people of working age, he said this put Russia at an economic disadvantage, as the country had too small a viable labor force relative to its size.

Hillary Clinton takes shot at progressive Democrats, suggests they could cause 2022 election loss

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a shot at progressive Democrats this month, appearing to blame them for the inability of the Democrat-controlled Congress to "get things done," and suggesting they could be the cause of potential party losses in the 2022 midterm elections.

During an interview with MSNBC's Willie Geist that took place earlier this month and aired in part on Thursday, Clinton implored Democrats to start thinking about the party's ability to win elections overall and not just in deep-blue districts where they were assured victory.

Geist turned the interview's attention to the topic, asking Clinton what she saw as the current state of the Democratic Party.

"I think that it is a time for some careful thinking about what wins elections, and not just in deep-blue districts where a Democrat and a liberal Democrat, or so-called progressive Democrat, is going to win. I understand why people want to argue for their priorities. That's what they believe they were elected to do.

"Look, I'm all about having vigorous debate. I think it's good, and it gives people a chance to be part of the process. But, at the end of the day it means nothing if we don't have a Congress that will get things done, and we don't have a White House that we can count on to be sane and sober and stable and productive."

Gazprom ready to send more gas to Europe under cheaper long-term contracts, while those nations angle for short-term deals

Many European nations' gas reserves plummeted to potentially dangerous lows this year thanks to a combination of environmental factors and shortsighted decisions by policymakers. Some officials and media in the US and Europe have blamed Russia for the supply crunch. Moscow has dismissed these claims.

Gazprom remains ready to send additional gas supplies to Europe under long-term contracts which are cheaper than the out of control spot prices currently plaguing the continent, company spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov has indicated.

Comment: Stupid politicking while ordinary European citizens are forced to choose between eating and freezing. At least Serbia's leaders are showing some common sense:

Serbia negotiates "incredible" gas deal with Russia paying lower than market rate as energy costs elsewhere soar

Bush told the UK's envoy in the US he knew little about foreign policy, in a candid admission, unsealed documents reveal

Former US president George W. Bush revealed in a 1998 conversation with the then-UK ambassador that he knew little about international issues, according to documents released by the National Archives.

Bush, who was Governor of Texas at the time of the meeting with Sir Christopher Meyer, was described as accepting that his worldview was "largely limited to the Texan and Mexican horizons."

Comment: And didn't it just show. It was Darth Cheney assisted by Donald Rumsfeld, Condeleeza Rice, Michael Chertoff and other assorted minions with Henry Kissinger lurking in the background, running things all along.
