New Zealand Prime Jacinda Ardern smiled during an interview late last week when saying that she was effectively creating two different classes of people in her country that have different levels of freedom depending on whether they are vaccinated.

The New Zealand Herald reported last week that Ardern had "announced the country would move into the new traffic light system when each District Health Board has 90 per cent of its population with both doses of the vaccine."

"So, you've basically said, this is gonna be like, well it's almost like, and you probably don't see it like this, [inaudible] two different classes of people, if you're vaccinated or if you're unvaccinated," an interviewer said to Ardern. "You have all these rights if you are vaccinated-"

"That it is what it is," Ardern quickly responded as she smiled. "So, yep. Yep."

Comment: Watching Ardern revel in exercising the power she has accrued to herself, using the the 'pandemic' as an excuse, is truly disturbing And yet:

New Zealand secretly allowed Hollywood team working on 'Avatar II' exemption from lockdown as 'essential workers'

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Chief Medical Advisor to the President, on Sunday over a new letter from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) about whether the NIH ever funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Vanity Fair reported:
On Wednesday, the NIH sent a letter to members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce that acknowledged two facts. One was that EcoHealth Alliance, a New York City-based nonprofit that partners with far-flung laboratories to research and prevent the outbreak of emerging diseases, did indeed enhance a bat coronavirus to become potentially more infectious to humans, which the NIH letter described as an "unexpected result" of the research it funded that was carried out in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The second was that EcoHealth Alliance violated the terms of its grant conditions stipulating that it had to report if its research increased the viral growth of a pathogen by tenfold.

Comment: At this point, he ought to be fired from a cannon.

NATO's new secret plan for nuclear war & space battles with Russia risks spiraling Europe into a new arms race between East & West

Tensions between Russia and NATO are at an all-time high. But instead of seeking a way off the ladder of escalation, the US-led bloc's new plan for hybrid war risks accelerating an already dangerous lethal arms race with Moscow.

There's a concept in international relations, almost one of the first that students learn, called the 'security dilemma'. It's hardly rocket science, but it's something governments and armed forces planners seem to consistently forget when it comes to making policy.

The idea is basically this: Country A feels threatened by country B; it therefore takes some measures - such as increasing its defence spending - to make itself more secure; but when country B sees what country A is doing, it in turn feels threatened, and so takes reciprocal measures of its own. The result is that country A ends up less safe than it was to start with.

Doublethink: Censor of the Year calls for free speech

It's been decades since I first read 1984, but it clearly is a book for our current cultural and political moment. I bought a copy at a used book store the other day and the tattooed and purple-haired young lady at the register gave me a curious glance. She commented, "Oh, I've had other people asking about this book. Why are you reading it now?"

I wasn't going to get into a discussion about current events, but I couldn't entirely stop myself. I said, "Well, it just seemed timely."

"It just..." She hesitated. "It just seemed like the right time?"

"Yes," I answered, realizing this was definitely not a conversation I wanted to have. "It seemed like the right time," I said, to which she responded with a mistrustful look.

It was almost, but not quite, a conversation from Orwell's dystopian novel, where truth can barely be hinted at, and then carefully covered over, never stated outright.

Israel declares war on Palestinian rights groups

Israeli defense minister Benny Gantz declared six prominent Palestinian human rights groups to be "terrorist organizations" on Friday.

The defense ministry order accuses the groups of serving "as an arm of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine," a leftist political party banned by Israel, the US and the European Union due to its opposition to normalization with Israel.

Some of the six targeted groups - Al-Haq, Addameer, Defense for Children International Palestine, the Union of Palestinian Women Committees, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees and the Bisan Center for Research and Development - have cooperated closely with the International Criminal Court in its war crimes probe in the West Bank and Gaza.

Gantz's conduct may come under ICC scrutiny as he twice perpetrated major massacres of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, as army chief of staff in 2014, and as defense minister earlier this year, when he vowed that "no person, area or neighborhood in Gaza is immune."

Mary Lawlor, the UN special rapporteur on human rights defenders, reacted to the "disturbing news" on Friday by saying that "human rights defenders are not terrorists and should never be smeared like this."

The targeted groups include "key partners" of the UN Human Rights Office in the West Bank and Gaza.

Twitter's Dorsey warns of surging inflation after his platform 'mistakenly' censors GOP lawmaker's video about...inflation

Jack Dorsey may have to censor himself after the Twitter CEO tweeted that hyperinflation will soon grip the US and global economies. The observation, which does not align with the mainstream media narrative, drew pushback online.

"Hyperinflation is going to change everything," Dorsey said on Friday night. "It's happening." When Nigerian businessman Tayo Oviosu - who, like Dorsey, is a cryptocurrency enthusiast - noted that inflation is already soaring at a 16% annual rate in his country, the Twitter co-founder replied, "It will happen in the US soon, and so the world."

Comment: Dorsey is reading the signs right. Biden is set for a Press Release...(printing press, that is).

Reps Greene and Banks censored by Twitter for saying Rachel Levine is a 'man'

Twitter censored two US House Representatives for stating that Biden's assistant health secretary in the HHS, Dr. Rachel Levine, is a biological male. Levine, who made headlines this week for being name the "first-ever female" four-star admiral in the Public Health Service, lived her first 40+ years as a male before undergoing gender transition.

Reps. Jim Banks and Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke up for women when they posted their belief that Levine is a "man," and that saying Levine is the "first female" to attain this post is actually a detriment for the furtherance of women's equal rights. These two reps who took up the charge to defend women against erasure are Republicans.

Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana was suspended for his tweet saying that "the title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man." If he had said "biological male," it is likely that this would not have been censored by Twitter, but because the words "man" and "woman" are now considered to be more about feelings than biology, Banks was in violation.

Best of the Web: Reading Putin at Valdai

Russian President Vladimir Putin made his annual appearance at the Valdai Discussion Club, giving a speech and fielding questions. He appeared in good form mentally, physically, and emotionally - despite the intermittent Western warnings of an ill or mentally inadequate Putin - and gave a performance worthy of an elder statesman. Several points stood out. One is that, contrary to the view that Putin is simply in power to enrich himself and his cronies, Putin clearly came across in this forum and has in others as well as a man interested in ideas and who has his own. I would argue that he has developed a general worldview and view of Russia since coming to power in 2000, when his ideas about politics and history still were not yet clearly formulated.

As Putin ages he appears to be drawn increasingly to themes of history and philosophy, and so he discussed issues related to the history of the Great Patriotic War (World War II), noting his ongoing interest and occasional occupation with historical documents. Regarding philosophy, he repeated his appreciation of early 20th century political philosopher Ivan Ilyin, whose work he keeps on a bookshelf and, he says, he often picks up and reads. Some Western propagandists have done their best to paint Ilyin as a 'fascist' so they can taint Putin to the hilt, as is the wont of much of Western 'thought' about Russia today. Ilyin was opposed to both fascist and communist totalitarianism and supported what he thought of as a Russian - that is, a controlled - form of constitutional republic that would have been more limited than Western models. His first claim to fame was a balanced refutation of Lev Tolstoy's radical pacifism.

Best of the Web: Bipartisan lawmakers demand answers from Fauci about 'cruel' taxpayer-funded experiments on dogs

Dr Fauci has been accused of abusing dogs in a $375,800 experiment.
Beagles reportedly had vocal cords removed

A bipartisan group of United States lawmakers demanded answers regarding a report that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases used taxpayer money to fund "cruel" and "costly" experiments on dogs as young as six months old. The letter regarding possible animal abuse was sent to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

"We write with grave concerns about reports of costly, cruel, and unnecessary taxpayer-funded experiments on dogs commissioned by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases," the bipartisan letter signed by 24 lawmakers, spearheaded by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), reads.

The letter cites a damning report from the White Coat Waste Project that claims that 44 beagle puppies — all between the ages of six and eight months old — were subjected to "commissioned tests" for a drug. The experiments involved "injecting and force-feeding the puppies an experimental drug for several weeks, before killing and dissecting them."

Comment: Fauci was being called on this three months ago. Why is the story only gaining traction now? Is he being shoved out in the most humiliating manner possible? Remember, people didn't truly get riled up about the botched Afghanistan withdrawal until stories of military dogs being left behind surfaced.

NY Times journalist hacked, researchers suspect Saudi Arabia employed notorious Israeli-made 'Pegasus' malware

New York Times reporter Ben Hubbard had his phone hacked on numerous occasions, and cybersecurity researchers say Saudi Arabia was to blame. The hackers reportedly used the notorious Israeli-made 'Pegasus' spyware.

Hubbard, a reporter covering the Middle East, wrote on Sunday that a hacking attempt was first made on his phone in 2018, when he received a "suspicious" Arabic language text message inviting him to a protest outside the Saudi embassy in Washington, DC. A similar message followed, and digital rights group CitizenLab told Hubbard both messages originated from servers that had previously been used to target Saudi activists.

Two more attempts followed in 2020 and 2021, but they were so-called 'zero-click' exploits, meaning Hubbard would not have had to click on any links or messages to allow the hackers into his phone. These attempts were successful, and once inside Hubbard's smartphone, the hackers were able to view all its contents, surreptitiously activate his microphone and camera, and delete traces of their previous hacks.
