Comment: If they 'cross the Rubicon' and make vaccinations mandatory, they will be the first UK govt to do so since the 1800s smallpox vaccine laws (which led to widespread rebellion when those jabs caused deadly outbreaks of smallpox)...

Children will start getting the Covid vaccine as early as August under provisional government plans to push for maximum immunity from the virus, The Telegraph can reveal.

Two sources involved in preparations said that was the soonest point at which Britons under the age of 18 would be given the jabs - months earlier than expected.

Safety data on the critical child vaccine study being run by Oxford University - on which ministers are waiting before making their final decisions - is expected shortly, with its conclusions due in June or July.


Comment: There's a lack of safety data because the UK population, particularly its most vulnerable, are acting as test subjects, and, in preparation for August, vaccine experiments on children are in the works: UK children to be test subjects of latest AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine trials


Comment: A year of lockdowns has already seriously compromised immunity in the population, and it's likely that sacrificing children's usually robust health for the sake of this mass vaccination scheme could have dire consequences: By the way, the French govt is toying with doing likewise; legally mandating vaccinations for all healthcare workers.

And the Russian govt has taken the opposite stance.

Nets hide Democratic plot to STEAL House seat from 2020 GOP victor

While the liberal broadcast networks had spent plenty of time pushing lies about the Republican Party purportedly trying to roll back voting rights and bring back Jim Crow laws, they didn't care that House Democrats were cooking up a plot to steal a House seat from the Iowa Republican woman who rightfully won the district back in November.

As Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier noted during Monday's Special Report, "Republicans are calling it an obvious power play to pad the speaker's slim majority."

But instead of reporting on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) machinations and calling an assault on our democracy, ABC's World News Tonight talked about the weather, CBS Evening News showed drone footage of an erupting volcano, and NBC Nightly News deflected blame away from President Biden for the rising price in gas.

The Biden administration has asked the Pentagon for use of military bases to house the rising number of minors crossing the US border illegally, as the people who screamed in outrage under the previous president were now silent.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday that the Department of Health and Human Services requested to use facilities at Joint Base San Antonio and Fort Bliss, both in Texas, to house an unspecified number of minors apprehended after crossing the border from Mexico.

"We have just received this request, so I don't have much more detail than that," said Kirby, adding the Pentagon will "analyze it and evaluate it just like we would any other request for assistance."

Senators Duckworth, Hirono to vote against straight white Biden nominees as Dems' identity-politics balance starts to show cracks

President Joe Biden's administration is too white and heterosexual - at least in the view of two Democratic senators - who vowed to vote down any non-LGBTQ white nominee, until the White House commits to more diversity.

Senator Tammy Duckworth (Illinois) and Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) told reporters on Tuesday that they'll vote to approve only non-white or LGBTQ nominees until Biden starts appointing more minorities. While Hirono said her concern is diversity in general, Duckworth is trying to pressure the administration to give more plum jobs to Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) candidates.

"I am a no vote on the floor on all non-diversity nominees," Duckworth said. "You know, I will vote for racial minorities and I will vote for LGBTQ, but anybody else, I'm not voting for."


Comment: Whatever happened to merit? For examples, would we want to choose engineers of bridges based on their race and sexuality rather than their expertise and ability?

Surprise: Biden, 'devastated' by Boulder shooting, asks Senate to act on House gun control bills

President Joe Biden said he's "devastated" by the mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, that left 10 people dead — just days after a separate mass killing that left eight people dead in Georgia.

"While the flag was still flying half staff, another American city has been scarred by gun violence and resulting trauma," Biden told reporters at the White House on Tuesday, hours after a gunman opened fire inside a King Sooper's grocery store, killing 10 people, including a responding police officer.

He called on lawmakers to expedite two measures that have passed the Democrat-controlled U.S. House, which would require more rigorous background checks for gun purchases.

"I don't need to wait another minute — or another hour — to take common sense steps that will save lives in the future," Biden said.

Biden noted the long-term mental impacts that people are feeling "through too many of these" shootings.


Comment: How about the long-term mental impacts of unnecessary lockdowns and virus-related fear propaganda. What about that?


Comment: These would be the first "reasonable" sounding steps in attempting to disarm millions of Americans. Watch it happen.

I wasn't being a wise guy. I was alone with him in his office, that's how it came about," Biden continued. "It was when President Bush had said, 'I've looked in his eyes and saw his soul.' I said, 'I looked in your eyes, and I don't think you have a soul.' He looked back and he said, 'We understand each other.' "

— ABC News, Joe Biden with George Stephanopoulos on V. Putin of Russia
Somehow, I don't think Joe Biden understood what he thought Vladimir Putin understood about what they mutually understood. If I had to guess, I'd say that Mr. Putin understood Joe Biden to be the most pathetic blustering schlemiel he'd ever encountered on the international scene. But that must have been before Mr. B was installed in the White House by powers and persons unseen because it's evident now that his handlers do not allow him to talk to foreign leaders, not even on the phone. Ms. Harris does that.

The alleged president went on to tell Mr. Stephanopoulos that Mr. Putin was "a killer" who would "soon pay a price" for interfering in the 2020 election. In turn, Mr. Putin promptly called the Russian ambassador back home "for consultations," which is generally what happens when one country makes warlike noises to another country.

A leaked email from an employee of a federal government agency reveals the White House is shifting toward a communication strategy that seeks to elevate Vice President Kamala Harris in all official White House business.

The directive, the employee reports, came from a top White House communications team member and instructs all agencies to refer to the Biden administration as the "Biden-Harris Administration" in place of the "Biden Administration."

"Please be sure to reference the current administration as the 'Biden-Harris Administration' in official public communications," the directive reads, with "Biden-Harris Administration" accented in bold.

Annex Cuba? Left & Right unite to bash 'woke' neocon imperialist Bill Kristol for advocating US takeover of island nation

Making a case for Washington, DC statehood by saying the US should also expand to Cuba "as soon as it's free," a notorious neoconservative architect of US global hegemony found himself derided by liberals and conservatives alike.

On Monday, as House Democrats held a hearing promoting statehood for the US capital district, Bill Kristol argued that expansion has "always been a sign of our vigor" and that it's time for "DC, Puerto Rico, Cuba (as soon as it's free), 1 or 2 more?" after 60 years of having 50 states.
Kristol's proposal was quickly slammed from the right. Yoram Hazony, one of the founders of the National Conservative movement, said his "old friend Bill" just provided evidence of an unbridgeable chasm between them and neocons.

"What Bill thinks is good for America would end it," Hazony added.

Comment: As per Kristol's suggestion, Cuba hasn't suffered enough from US belligerence and dominance. It is just begging to be used by the neocons and Democrats to increase their voting clout.

Leaked docs show Obama FTC gave Google its monopoly after Google execs helped Obama get re-elected

Leaked documents from the FTC's 2012 investigation of Google show exactly what is wrong with the state of American antitrust enforcement.

Eight years ago, the Federal Trade Commission had the chance to face down Google — the giant of Silicon Valley whose power now alters the free flow of information at a global scale, distorts market access for businesses large and small, and changes the nature of independent thought in ways the world has never experienced.

Instead, the FTC blinked — and blinked hard, choosing to close the investigation in early 2013. A remarkable leak to Politico of agency documents about the 2012 Google investigation reveals that, despite ample evidence of market distortions and threats to competition presented by the agency's lawyers, the five commissioners of the FTC deferred instead to speculative claims by their economists.

Records and reporting about the 2012 investigation suggest the FTC did so while bending to political pressure from the Obama White House — which was, in turn, bending to political pressure from Google. William Kovacic, a former FTC chair under President George W. Bush, reviewed the more than 3,000 pages of documents leaked to Politico and concluded the agency overlooked "what many experts and regulators would consider clear antitrust violations," calling the specificity of issues outlined "breathtaking."

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will face a system that is rigged by design before he ever sets foot in the court room, should he be extradited to the Unites States, CIA officer-turned-whistleblower John Kiriakou explains in an exclusive interview with Sputnik.

John Kiriakou is a former CIA counter-terrorism officer and former chief investigator for the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In an exclusive interview with Sputnik, Kiriakou explains how he faced decades in prison after being charged with Espionage Act offences following his revelations that the Bush administration was engaged in torture of terror suspects. Kiriakou, who co-hosts The Backstory on Sputnik radio in Washington DC, also said that he did not believe it was possible for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to receive a fair trial, as he would face a jury made up of members of the national security state, the military, or their family members.

Sputnik: Can you explain the events leading up to you being arrested and prosecuted by the US federal government?
