GALLUP: Mental health rating of Americans slumps to new low

"Worse than it has been at any point in the last two decades," the pollsters said about the findings.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does.

Americans have essentially been on lockdown since at least March, when government officials across the country ordered statewide shutdowns. But even nine months later, little is back to normal, as restaurants and bars operate (if they can) on limited occupancy, airlines are running skeleton schedules and workers have gone mostly virtual.

Now Gallup, a top U.S. pollster, says the whole mess is severely affecting the mental health of Americans.

"Americans' latest assessment of their mental health is worse than it has been at any point in the last two decades. Seventy-six percent of U.S. adults rate their mental health positively, representing a nine-point decline from 2019," Gallup reported on Monday.

Comment: It should come as no surprise to anyone that the worse-than-useless lockdowns have taken their toll on the mental and spiritual health of Americans (and anyone around the world who is subject to such draconian mandates). And the sad fact of the matter is that the economic downturn we are facing will only compound the feelings of depression, degradation and oppression that so many are - and are likely to - experience. If they don't already.

Facebook is censoring criticism of a fake fact-check published by an "independent fact-checker," who is bankrolled by both China and Big Tech.

The Federalist published a piece Monday headlined, "The Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not 'Debunked.' Not Even Close," by Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway, which investigates how one of Facebook's designated fact-checkers supposedly debunked claims related to an explosive video corroborating Republican charges of election fraud in Georgia.

Moments before the post was published on Facebook however, the company released a notification to users that the post had been flagged for misinformation based on a supposed "fact-check" by one of its third-party fact-checkers, LeadStories.

Trump lawyer Ellis confident at least one legislature will switch electors to Trump - PA and AZ legislatures call for decertification

President Donald Trump campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis speaks to media while flanked by Trump lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (L) and attorney Sidney Powell, at a press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington on Nov 19, 2020.
President Donald Trump's campaign is confident that at least one state legislature will take back the power to select electors and change to supporting Trump, campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis said Monday.

While the campaign is continuing to press forward with lawsuits in swing states, Ellis said she and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani have been focused on going to state legislatures and alerting them that they have the constitutionally delegated authority to make sure that they select their delegates.

"So when all of these rules and laws in their states have been ignored, it's actually their constitutional obligation, responsibility, and exclusive power to make sure that they take back their delegates and they don't allow these false certifications to simply move forward," Ellis said during a virtual appearance on Fox Business.

The campaign is confident that the state legislature in Georgia will do so, and hope the legislatures in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Arizona will follow.

"We're very confident that at least in Georgia and hopefully also in Arizona, in Pennsylvania, and also in Michigan, that these state legislatures will really take election integrity very seriously, they will reclaim their delegates before the 14th, and that they will then do their own election integrity independent investigation, and then they will certify to the Electoral College the delegates that actually reflects the will of the people, not these false, corrupt results," she said.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: "USB guy" was filmed cheering after inspecting bogus ballots under table in Georgia election day

USB guy, Lawrence Sloan
During the ballot counting process in Atlanta numerous individuals were involved in various activities which appear very suspect, if not criminal. The 'USB Guy' is one of the suspicious actors. His actions we uncover tonight are shocking.

In Atlanta a false water main break was reported on Election Day. Republicans poll observers were sent home early. Ballots were then pulled out from under a table and tabulated sometimes two and three times over with no observers or Republicans present. This whole scenario was discussed on Newsmax last week and aired at President Trump's rally this past weekend:


Comment: Ruby Freeman, one of the individuals involved in the late night unsupervised ballot counting, clams up and lawyers up after originally agreeing to an interview:
Earlier on Thursday Cristina Laila reported on the explosive video that was revealed during the Georgia ballot counting at the State Farm Arena where crooked Democrats pulled out suitcases full of ballots and began counting those ballots without election monitors in the room.

Trump's legal team showed a video from the State Farm Arena tabulation center when poll workers were told to leave at 10:25 PM.

A few "workers" stayed behind and were seen pulling suitcases full of ballots out from under tables to be tabulated!

This was the most explosive video of the entire campaign season!


We later identified one of the operatives on Thursday night who was caught on video counting illegal ballots from a suitcase stashed under a table!

One woman in the center was wearing a purple top. She later appeared in the suitcase video! Her name is Ruby Freeman.

And her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss was later identified as her supervisor who was helping cart out the hidden ballots in the suitcases to be counted after all of the GOP observers and media was sent home for a "water main" break.

It was all a fraud.

And here is a closeup of the woman in question via a Getty image. Her official name is "Wandrea Moss."

Wandrea Moss
Thank you Gateway Pundit readers for sending this information.

Following our report Carolyn Ryan from Carolyn Ryan TV reached out to Ruby for an interview.

At first Ruby accepted the invitation. But then she declined the interview. She said she needed a lawyer.
Good idea.

Via The National File.

Carolyn posted her text messages with Ruby Freeman.
Notice The Gateway Pundit report in the text messages.

Ruby Freeman text messages
Then Ruby backed out.

Ruby Freeman texts
Yup. It's probably best that Ruby gets herself a lawyer.

Maybe the Biden campaign will pitch in and help?

Psychological warfare disguised as a pandemic threat

"Look! You fools! You're in danger! Can't you see? They're after you! They're after all of us! Our wives...our children...they're here already! You're next!" — Dr. Miles Bennell, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Body Snatchers and Mask

It's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers all over again.

The nation is being overtaken by an alien threat that invades bodies, alters minds, and transforms freedom-loving people into a mindless, compliant, conforming mob intolerant of anyone who dares to be different, let alone think for themselves.

However, while Body Snatchers — the chilling 1956 film directed by Don Siegel — blames its woes on seed pods from outerspace, the seismic societal shift taking place in America owes less to biological warfare reliant on the COVID-19 virus than it does to psychological warfare disguised as a pandemic threat.

As science writer David Robson explains:
Fears of contagion lead us to become more conformist and tribalistic, and less accepting of eccentricity. Our moral judgements become harsher and our social attitudes more conservative when considering issues such as immigration or sexual freedom and equality. Daily reminders of disease may even sway our political affiliations... Various experiments have shown that we become more conformist and respectful of convention when we feel the threat of a disease... the evocative images of a pandemic led [participants in an experiment] to value conformity and obedience over eccentricity or rebellion.
This is how you persuade a populace to voluntarily march in lockstep with a police state and police themselves (and each other): by ratcheting up the fear-factor, meted out one carefully calibrated crisis at a time, and teaching them to distrust any who diverge from the norm.

This is not a new experiment in mind control.

The powers-that-be have been pushing our buttons and herding us along like so much cattle since World War II, at least, starting with the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor, which not only propelled the U.S. into World War II but also unified the American people in their opposition to a common enemy.

Rich people and journalists made exempt from having to enter COVID quarantine in the UK

"High value business travellers" won't have to self-isolate.

Journalists and rich people defined as "high value business travellers" will be made exempt from having to enter a 2 week COVID quarantine when they return to the UK under new rules announced by the government.

"From 4am on Saturday, people in a number of categories will no longer have to self-isolate upon returning to England, even if they are travelling from a country not on the travel corridors list," reports Sky News.

Those categories include journalists, "high value business travellers," performing arts professionals and wealthy sports stars.

Under current rules, anyone returning from a country not on the UK's "travel corridor" list has to self-isolate at home for 14 days or face escalating fines.

Public Health England said the new measures will not raise the risk of domestic transmission of coronavirus.


Comment: The elitist flavor of lockdowns and rules for the masses could not get more obvious than this new policy. One can rightfully expect the world of thinking people to get further pissed off - and energized - to to take action against the Big Lies and terribly damaging effects of the lockdowns. Question is, is the UK gov't THAT dumb to make it so obvious, or is this news part of a more Machiavellian strategy to find out who's saying what and take names for an even more egregious corralling somewhere down the road?

1 dead, 292 fall sick in Andhra Pradesh due to 'mysterious disease'

Andhra Pradesh

More than 140 of the patients have returned home after treatment at the hospital while the condition of others was stable, the West Godavari district medical and health officials said.
A 24x7 control room has been set up in the Eluru Municipal Corporation office.

The mysterious disease that began spreading in Eluru city in Andhra Pradesh claimed one life on Sunday even as about 292 residents fell sick.

More than 140 of the patients have returned home after treatment at the hospital while the condition of others was stable, the West Godavari district medical and health officials said.

Comment: Sputnik reports on the possible causes:
What Could've Caused the Outbreak?

Besides water contamination, there's also a suspicion that anti-mosquito fogging may have caused the disease. Doctors from top medical institutions have conducted blood tests and CT (brain) scans along with Cerebral Spinal Fluid tests on patients, which have so far turned up normal, making the disease a mystery.

Other tests, conducted by experts from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), however, revealed the presence of lead and nickel metals in excessive quantities in patients.

The report contradicts a statement by local authorities which ruled out water and air pollution as possible culprits for the illness. Another team of scientists from the National Institute of Chemical Technology, National Institute of Nutrition and the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology have started field-level studies in Eluru to reveal the exact reasons for the disease.

Pesticides?

Officials are now also exploring the possible overuse of pesticides on vegetables in the area.

"We are collecting vegetable samples from top 20 places. Cases are being reported throughout the entire Municipal Corporation area", Himanshu Shukla, West Godavari Joint District Collector told IANS.

Preliminary analysis of various test reports has established the role of organochlorine substances, which are used in agriculture and mosquito fogging.

'Who would do that?' Austrians shocked after seeing video of vandal trashing memorial to victims of Vienna terrorist attack

A screenshot from social media
People in Austria have been left shocked and outraged after an unidentified vandal destroyed a memorial in honor of the victims of November's deadly Islamist attack in Vienna. The incident was captured on camera.

Videos first published by local media show a masked person in a blue hat stepping on memorial candles and repeatedly kicking them around while holding something resembling a grocery bag.

Police spokesperson Markus Dittrich said they were studying the security camera footage.

Comment: As was the case in France, the terrorist attacker in Austria was being tracked by authorities prior to his horrific crime but 'mistakes' led to the investigation being dropped - perhaps the numerous unanswered questions should be just as shocking to the public as the incident above is.

Nice terrorist who was known to authorities before church attack now under formal investigation

Portraits of the three victims of the attack at Notre-Dame de Nice Basilica on October 29, 2020 – (from L) Nadine Devillers, Vincent Loques and Simone Barreto Silva – shown during a ceremony on November 7, 2020, in Nice, France.
Brahim Aouissaoui, the chief suspect in the fatal stabbings of three people in a church in the French city of Nice in October, was placed under formal investigation on Monday with their murder, anti-terrorism prosecutors said.

The 21-year-old Tunisian national, was shot and seriously injured by police after the October 29 attack. He was placed under formal investigation after his condition in hospital improved, allowing him to be questioned.

France last month raised its attack alert to the highest level after the Nice killings, which came two weeks after the beheading of history teacher Samuel Paty by an 18-year-old Chechen refugee for having shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during a lesson on freedom of speech.

Comment: Note that the terrorist was known to authorities and should have been deported but was instead set free, as was the terrorist who killed four in Austria in November - there is surely more to the events than sheer coincidence: Strasbourg Shooting: Everybody Knows Where Terror Comes From
