Dr. Paul Thomas has a YouTube channel and a bestselling book on Amazon. He's a leading figure opposing Oregon's effort to require vaccines for admission to public schools
Dr. Paul Thomas, a prominent anti-vaccine pediatrician in Oregon, had his license suspended Dec. 3 on an emergency basis after the state's medical board found evidence he had violated standard medical practices related to vaccines.

The Oregon Medical Board took the unusual step after reviewing evidence that alleged Thomas guided his patients away from getting the standard course of childhood vaccinations — and that patients suffered vaccine-preventable diseases possibly as a result.

"The Board has determined from the evidence available at this time that Licensee's continued practice of medicine would pose an immediate danger to the public and to his patients," the board's order of emergency suspension states. 'Therefore, it is necessary to immediately suspend his license to practice medicine. To do otherwise would subject Licensee's patients to the serious risk of harm while this case remains under investigation."

Comment: Oregon seems to want to silence anyone in a position of authority who questions the officials stances on covid and vaccines. They also suspended the license of a doctor who publicly shared his anti-mask stance.

Eight people were killed, including six Americans, on Thursday when a helicopter belonging to a multinational peacekeeping force that monitors the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement crashed in the Sinai Peninsula during a routine mission, officials said.

One American was badly injured in the crash of the UH-60 Black Hawk, which went down near the island of Tiran, the Multinational Force and Observers said.

The Rome-based MFO, which was created by Egypt and Israel after they signed the peace agreement, said the two others killed were a French peacekeeper and a Czech member of the force. It did not release the names of the dead, pending notification of their families.

Israeli and Egyptian officials said the US survivor was evacuated by the Egyptian military and then transferred to an Israeli aircraft for transport to Israel, the Washington Post reported.

Facebook and Google 'complicit' in censorship and repression in Vietnam, Amnesty International says

vietnam social media
Amnesty International has released a new report condemning tech giants as being complicit in censorship across Vietnam, with "state-sponsored harassment rampant" on YouTube and Facebook, the report said. The two social media platforms are "tools of the Vietnamese authorities' censorship and harassment of its population," according to the human rights organization's 78-page report published Monday.

Amnesty International said the two social media platforms have turned into "hunting grounds for censors, military cyber-troops and state-sponsored trolls." It interviewed dozens of human rights activists, journalists, lawyers, writers and former prisoners of conscience, as well as relying on info from Facebook and Google.

Online censorship includes geo-blocking content that has been deemed to be critical of the Vietnamese government, Amnesty International said, also claiming that authorities are deploying "sophisticated campaigns on these platforms to harass everyday users into silence and fear."

'Wear a mask' has been named the 'most notable quote' of 2020 - because 'do what you're told' was too on the nose

The celebration of unquestioning obedience accompanying the Covid-19 pandemic has turned individuals into spineless drones. Nothing makes that clearer than corona czar Fauci's "wear a mask" scold being named quote of the year.

Out of every phrase written or uttered over the past twelve months, Yale Law School librarian Fred Shapiro chose Anthony Fauci's finger-wagging "wear a mask" as the top quote of 2020, as if to administer one last slap in the face to free will and rational thought. It is a very sick society indeed that celebrates knee-jerk obedience to an ever-shifting narrative and praises fear as the highest form of human emotion.

Fauci's quote and nine others are set to be included in the Yale Book of Quotations, a compendium of memorable epigrams, witticisms, slogans, and other short lines. Shapiro has previously explained he selects quotes that are "famous or revealing of the spirit of the times" rather than "eloquent or admirable". But putting a banal, borderline-meaningless diktat like "wear a mask" next to famous lines such as PT Barnum's "There's a sucker born every minute" and Frederick Douglass' "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will" comes off like a bad joke.

More witnesses of Michigan vote fraud - 'they didn't disqualify a single ballot'

dead voters
Bob Cushman saw voter fraud in Detroit.

Bob was one of the poll challengers who witnessed the suspicious boxes of ballots arrive 8 hours after polls closed.

When he was counting absentee ballots dumped in the middle of the night at 4am, the BIDEN BALLOT DUMP, he said, "None of the names were in the pollbooks, even though these had been updated on Saturday," Cushman said. He added, "So the only explanation is that these are people who registered to vote and voted on Monday and Tuesday. It's impossible."

Even though he's confident he saw voter fraud in favor of Joe Biden, possibly to the scale of 60,000 fraudulent votes, he's urging that a Michigan RECOUNT NOT BE DONE!

Certain types of Michigan voter fraud, due to state election laws, cannot be effectively challenged with a recount.

The poll book had been updated on the Saturday before election day, and yet there were tens of thousands of brand-new voters registered Monday or Tuesday. According to Cushman, he wrote down the names of these suspicious voters, and after he started recording the voter fraud happening in his midst, he was ejected. He was prevented from writing down the names.

"We were afraid from objecting too much, because GOP Poll Challengers were being arbitrarily ejected all day long."

Comment: Chris Schnorak is another witness. His allegations match up with Cushman's:
"I saw a ballot for Taniqua Haynes, it comes up in the computer as the wrong ballot number. They mailed her ballot number 5748, but that's not what she sent back."

Challenges by Schnorak were ignored. "They refused to put challenges in the electronic log."

Schnorak says he was only able to get the Detroit officials to log two ballot challenges, "and I had to fight for those."


...
"If you follow the rules, there's no cheating." Schnorak described witnessing a ballot process in Royal Oak, Michigan, the previous day that had only 10 challenged ballots out of 25,755 counted.

He said that the fraud was systemic: "I kept seeing a voter birthdate of 1900. I could tell it wasn't right. I tried to document it, but so many things were going on and I was flustered. I think they were just creating a record for those people in order to process their ballots. They had a systematic way of doing it, they were good at it. It was coordinated and it was organized."

There was no way for challengers to see if the voter signatures matched, according to Schnorak. "They would not let us get anywhere near close enough to do that."
TGP sent the list of 566,958 people who voted in Wayne County by absentee ballot to Lorton Data Services to run a check on how many dead people were on the list. The came up with 2060 names.
There may be errors in the data. There could be people with the exact same name living at the same address who are erroneously included in the data. People could have died after mailing in their absentee ballot a week before election day. But according to the Lorton service, that situation should be very rare. The Lorton officials said that they cross-check their data with obituaries and the Social Security death index.

This does NOT INCLUDE, people who voted in-person, and does NOT INCLUDE, people who voted absentee in the rest of Michigan. It also suggests, if accurate, that there may have been a systemic campaign underway to cast ballots even among people who were deceased.

Pennsylvania election lawyers urge Supreme Court Justice Alito to reject GOP lawsuit - UPDATE: Alito denies injunctive relief

U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito speaks at Georgetown University in Washington on Feb. 23, 2016.
Pennsylvania officials on Tuesday filed a brief in a GOP appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court that contests the state's election results.

Lawyers for Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf's administration said Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), Republican candidate Sean Parnell, and other Republicans are attempting to "undertake one of the most dramatic, disruptive invocations of judicial power in the history of the Republic."

"No court has ever issued an order nullifying the governor's certification of presidential election results," the lawyers added, arguing that it could set a precedent for the "judicial invalidation" of a presidential election. Furthermore, it would create a "loss of public trust in our constitutional order," the lawyers quoted a Wisconsin court order as saying.


Comment: They may as well have added, "Even if it was fraudulent, no court has ever..." Not going to cut it for the majority of the country who see this election for what it was: a massive fraud.




It came about two days after Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito ordered Pennsylvania officials, including Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar's office, to respond to Kelly's challenge a day earlier than previously scheduled, because Tuesday, Dec. 8 is the "safe harbor" deadline for electors.

Kelly's lawsuit is seeking to have the Supreme Court throw out all of Pennsylvania's mail-in ballots — tantamount to hundreds of thousands of votes — because the move to expand the practice, known as Act 77, violates the commonwealth's Constitution. If successful, his lawsuit would most likely secure a victory for President Donald Trump in the Keystone State.

Comment: Says Politico, "The high court acted without comment or noted dissent in the matter."

'This is insanity': As California faces new Covid-19 lockdowns, Gov. Newsom announces $80M 'public health' billboard campaign

California Governor Gavin Newsom
California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a major backlash over his decision to spend more than $80 million to "educate" the public about Covid-19, primarily through billboards, while businesses struggle with harsh lockdowns.

Newsom announced the "public education campaign" during a Monday press conference and unveiled some of the billboards, which include messages about remaining six feet apart and wearing masks. "I wanted to connect more to the cause of education," Newsom said, adding over $80 million has gone into this campaign and more than 1,000 billboards will be erected in the state.


Comment: Commentary from the gallery was not appreciative of Newsom's dictatorial billboard campaign. Here's what they had to say:
What $80M might have done for the people worst hit by the economic disruption just boggles the mind to be spent on billboards! Dividing the costs out per billboard: $80,000 ea.

Those who don't get COVID-19 vaccine could face restrictions, Ontario officials say

Ontario's Health Minister Christine Elliott
Ontario's health minister says getting a coronavirus vaccine won't be mandatory, but those who don't receive a shot could face restrictions.

Christine Elliott made the remarks during an update on the province's COVID-19 vaccine distribution plans on Monday.
"We can't force anybody to take the vaccine but I agree with the premier — we really encourage everyone who is able to, to have the vaccination. There may be some restrictions in terms of travel or other restrictions that may arise as a result of not having a vaccination, but that's going to be up to the person themselves to make that decision on the basis of what's most important to them. But we do wish everyone to receive the vaccination."

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul made it clear that he was not happy when his bill, aimed at stopping stimulus payments to dead people, hit a snag.

Paul explained in a tweet Monday that his bill was being "watered down" so that terminating stimulus payments to dead people would not happen for three years.
Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie complained about stimulus checks being set to dead people — over one million such checks totaling over $1.4 billion — months ago. He also noted that some payments had made it to non-Americans living overseas. "At least the dead people who received stimulus checks were Americans," he said.

CA sheriff: County won't be 'used as muscle' against residents

Riverside County, CA Sheriff Chad Bianco
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco on Friday said that his office will not be "blackmailed, bullied, or used as muscle" against county residents to enforce California Gov. Gavin Newsom's coronavirus orders.

In a statement, Bianco criticized the Democratic governor's "dictatorial attitude" toward Californians, while he dined in luxury, traveled, kept his own business open, and sent his kids to in-person private school.

It is "very telling about his attitude toward California residents, his feelings about the virus, and it is extremely hypocritical," Bianco said.

The sheriff called the state's metrics to justify stay-at-home orders "flat-out ridiculous" and "unbelievably faulty." These metrics, Bianco said, "are not representative of true numbers and are disastrous for Riverside County."
