Malfunction at the podium? Psaki announces vaccines 'can still kill you' in eyebrow-raising slip-up

A bizarre video of the White House Press Secretary advising on "communicating clearly" about vaccines, after she'd told Americans they "can still kill you," has half the internet shocked, while the other half hasn't quite noticed.

The clip shows Jen Psaki apparently responding to a question about vaccines during a Wednesday press briefing, stressing the importance of staying on message and praising actress and singer Olivia Rodrigo, who came to the White House to raise awareness on the subject.

But Psaki's message soon takes an odd turn, as she suddenly declares that the vaccines the Biden administration is desperate to convince more Americans to take "can still kill you" - even if you're "under 27." She made the comment after noting there are areas in the country with lower vaccination rates among people under that age - seemingly meaning to say Covid-19 can still kill even young people.

Reports of an unhappy working environment in Vice President Kamala Harris' office are ringing a bell with former staffers, who have described similar experiences dating back more than a decade, according to a new report.

According to Business Insider, Harris alumni have been buzzing about a Politico report last month that described the Veep's office as "chaotic" with a "tense and at times dour" atmosphere. One source quoted by Politico described it as a place where "people feel treated like s — ."

"So many people recognized themselves in it, or recognized treatment they had seen or treatment they had heard about and dismissed," one former staffer told Business Insider, adding that they had sent a link to the story to their therapist with a note that read: "Rarely in life are we publicly vindicated."

Business Insider's story cited interviews with 12 former Harris staffers about the work environment during her stints as San Francisco's district attorney (an office she held from 2004 to 2011), California's attorney general (2011 to 2017), and a US senator (2017 to 2021).

'Russiagate' redux: The Guardian's spooky anonymous 'sources' claim Putin put Trump in power, but there's still no hard evidence

Ever since former US President Donald Trump's shock 2016 election victory rocked the American political establishment, commentators and talking heads have been looking for someone to blame. The easy answer has always been Russia.

On Thursday, London's Guardian newspaper delivered the latest installment in this long-standing 'Russiagate' tradition. Rolling out a series of supposed revelations, intended to shock readers with the scale of the alleged deception behind Trump's win, journalist Luke Harding, who has previous experience in publishing fake stories on this theme, alleged that Russian President Vladimir Putin "personally authorized a secret spy agency operation to support a 'mentally unstable' Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election."

The rationale for the move was apparently that a Trump White House would be more sympathetic to Russian interests, and would sow chaos in the country. Intelligence and security agencies were supposedly told they should use "all possible force" to put the then-Republican front-runner into office. If the plan existed, it backfired catastrophically, given that relations between Moscow and Washington deteriorated to almost unprecedented lows during the years that followed, with sanctions and political rows becoming a regular occurrence.

HMS Defender arrives at the Black Sea port of Odessa, Ukraine June 18, 2021.
Russia will continue to defend the country's territorial waters and may combat any violators with the "harshest methods," a high-ranking official revealed on Wednesday, warning foreign navies against crossing the country's border.

Speaking to the newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Mikhail Popov addressed last month's incident with the British warship HMS 'Defender', when it purposely violated Russia's territorial waters, crossing three kilometers over the sea border.

In Popov's opinion, the move was a "pre-planned provocation that was rightfully thwarted."

A protest in Budapest, Hungary, against a law that bans LGBT content in schools and children’s TV shows, held on June 2021
EU money intended to help member states recover from the Covid pandemic should not make Hungary a hostage by being withheld over Budapest's controversial LGBT law that was slammed by Brussels, a top official in Hungary has said.

The issue of EU funds should not be tied to the new Hungarian law that banned LGBT themes from school curriculums and children's TV shows, Hungary's Minister of the Prime Minister's Office, Gergely Gulyas, told reporters on Thursday.

"Such a connection will ruin the European Union. The Child Protection Act has nothing to do with the [EU] recovery fund," Gulyas said, adding that Hungary will continue to hold talks with Brussels.

Comment: Brussels's arrogance is on display as it demands legislatures override the will of their citizens. Orban is correct. Such high-handedness will contribute to the EU's eventual demise.

England's MPs back mandatory vaccination for care home staff, despite having no risk assessment available

Lockdown prevents family visiting nursing home resident
MPs have approved compulsory vaccinations for care home staff in England, but a number of Conservatives rebels voiced anger at the plans.

From October, anyone working in a Care Quality Commission-registered care home in England must have two vaccine doses unless they have a medical exemption.

The House of Commons approved the regulations by 319 votes to 246.

But Tory MPs criticised the government for not publishing an impact assessment of the policy before the vote.


Comment: If these unprecedented and draconian rules are enforced, the known side effects of the experimental vaccines and the predictable loss of staff will likely result in reduced care and increased mortality in care homes.


Comment: In France health and public transport workers were recently threatened with a similar scheme, and days later protests erupted across the country.

Blackrock - one of the largest asset management firms - is buying up US homes like no tomorrow

Homeownership has long been considered an important tool for building financial security and wealth, but it's becoming more difficult for Americans to achieve. Younger generations are less likely to own a home than those from older generations, with millennials' homeownership rate 8% lower than that of generation X and baby boomers at the same age.

If the rate had remained steady, about 3.4 million more people would own homes in the U.S. today but, instead, younger adults are increasingly choosing to either rent or live with their parents. There are a number of reasons why homeownership has become less attainable than it was decades ago, from rising debt in younger generations to increased cost of living.

A report by the Urban Institute found half those aged 18 to 34 were spending upward of 30% of their income on rent, making them "rent-burdened." Meanwhile, median housing prices increased 28% in the last two years, pricing some out of the market. However, the shift is not all happenstance.

Comment: The media-fueled dividing lines of race, religion, past-colonization, gender and sexual orientation are meant to divide and distract the average person from the real sources of oppression and inequality in our world today - namely companies like Blackrock and Vanguard - who are seeking to eventually bring about a new form of feudalism where they own everything and the average person owns nothing.

macron protests vaccine passport frnce

French citizens react to President Macron's Covid announcements
France's President Emmanuel Macron announced on July 13th that a vaccine passport would be required to attend public events and non-essential activities.

Macron announced on July 13th that two island regions of France (Martinique and La Réunion) would return to the sanitary emergency status and adopt an 11 PM curfew.

The President also announced that starting July 21st, a vaccine passport would be required to partake in any non-essential activity with over 50 people (theatres, concert halls, festivals, etc.) This measure will apply to every citizen aged 12 years and older.

Starting mid-August, the vaccine passport will be required for any clients and employees of cafes, bars, restaurants.

Comment: Macron decides to announce restrictions the day before Frances biggest holiday, which celebrates its liberation from a tyrannical ancien regime. What better way to display his contempt for the French citizenry? But, there's a long way between announcement and implementation. Keep an eye on France.

Germany is not planning to follow France and other European countries - Greece, Italy and the UK - in introducing compulsory Covid-19 vaccinations for parts of the population, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday.

"We do not intend to go down this road," Merkel said in Berlin after visiting the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) public health agency.

"We are at the beginning of the phase in which we are still promoting (vaccination), where we have more vaccines than we have people who want to be vaccinated," she said.

After a slow start to its vaccination campaign earlier this year, Germany sped up its drive over the summer and had by Tuesday fully vaccinated 42.6 percent of adults, with 58.5 percent vaccinated at least once.
