Alarming number of Americans think vaccines contain microchips to control people

"The reality is that misinformation is still spreading like wildfire in our country aided and abetted by technology platforms," the surgeon general said Sunday.

One-fifth of polled adults believe it is "definitely true" or "probably true" that COVID-19 vaccinations contain government-issued microchips, according to a new survey.

The survey, conducted by The Economist/YouGov and published this week, asked 1,500 Americans ages 18 and over if "the U.S. government is using the COVID-19 vaccine to microchip the population." Five percent of respondents said the statement was "definitely true," while 15 percent said the statement was "probably true."

Comment: The idea that there are actual microchips in the vaccines may be a little out there, but it seems highly likely that there is something fishy going on with the mRNA shots (magnet challenge anyone?).

Covidiot or Covid-idiot? Which one are you?

Apparently a "covidiot," according to the online Health website Health.com, can be defined using a number of dictionary and urban dictionary definitions. Written in July 2020, they offered:

Macmillan Dictionary - "An insulting term for someone who ignores health advice about Covid-19, hoards food unnecessarily, etc."

Urban Dictionary - "Someone who ignores the warnings regarding public health or safety. A person who hoards goods, denying them from their neighbors."

They could have added the Cambridge Dictionary definition: "Someone who behaves in a stupid way that risks spreading the infectious disease Covid-19."

The Health website largely agrees with these definitions. However they embellish them somewhat and add:

"Basically, a covidiot doesn't take COVID-19 and the risks of the virus seriously, despite what government officials and the global health community say. At the same time, they may also engage in selfish behavior that doesn't look out for the greater good when it comes to slowing down and stopping the spread of the coronavirus."

They say that the term has been thrown around a lot. Indeed so, it has been liberally seeded online with the appropriate hashtags and memes doing the global, viral rounds. It is a new word, recently invented to describe people in disparaging terms. Beyond the offered dictionary definitions, Health explore some of the principles underpinning "covidiot."

Ben Shapiro strikes back at NPR hit piece on Daily Wire's 'conservative agenda'

Ben Shapiro

Fast-talking conservative pundit Ben Shapiro has risen to the top of the Facebook news heap despite the platform's supposedly stringent controls on "disinformation," NPR declared on Monday, pearls clutched firmly in fists.

National Public Radio admitted that Shapiro's site, the Daily Wire, doesn't "normally include falsehoods," and is even (according to its own Standards & Policies page) "committed to truthful, accurate, and ethical reporting" - but that's not the point, they sniffed.

Shapiro seemed bemused to discover that the latest excuse for seemingly trying to take him offline was not "fake news," or "climate change denial," or any of the other usual suspects - but instead being "overtly conservative."

Comment: From Russiagate and Orange Man Bad, to global warming, to BLM, to the Covid farce, NPR has been in the forefront of pushing every globalist talking point cherished by its masters on the American people. One need only look at NPR's funders to understand their frustration at other voices gaining traction:

australian burns service medal protest afghanistan

A former Australian army officer has set fire to his campaign medal after accusing the government of failing to provide refuge to Afghan civilian contractors as part of Canberra's withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Stuart McCarthy, whose 28-year military career included two tours of Afghanistan, announced on Monday that he would burn Australia's "badge of shame" and then present the ashes to his representative in parliament.

"The Morrison government's conscious decision to leave hundreds of our former Afghan civilian interpreters, other loyal allies, and their family members behind to be slaughtered by the Taliban - the same terrorist organisation we were sent to fight for two decades - now renders this medal a badge of shame," he wrote in a statement explaining his decision.

He later published a video on Twitter showing the ribbon covered in flames.

The overlooked factors in police abuse cases

Protesters in New York in December, 2014, after a grand jury elected not to indict officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner

Seven years ago this past weekend, on July 17, 2014, a Staten Island man named Eric Garner was killed by police in a gruesome scene that went viral and helped launch the Black Lives Matter movement. Press reports usually say Garner was stopped on suspicion of selling cigarettes by plainclothes officers who then choked him to death, but the story I wrote about in I Can't Breathe was both stupider and more tragic than that. Garner's death was a confluence of a hundred terrible developments, but above all a grotesque governance failure. It was a classic example of how even the most harmless-sounding ideas can, in the hands of the wrong people, become deadly policy.

Garner's death was accelerated by policing strategies based on the "Broken Windows" theory. Often attributed to famed Stanford researcher Philip Zimbardo, the theory's origins really go back to 1963, when criminologist George Kelling took a job running a home for troubled youth in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Before Kelling's arrival, Freud-inspired clinicians at the 64-bed facility stressed observing rather than correcting the emotionally disturbed minors in their care. If a resident broke a light bulb, for instance, they would leave broken glass on the floor and just keep taking notes.

Comment:

One might wonder if the steady uptick in police brutality cases is due to the emulation of Israel' brutal tactics employed against Palestinians. Departments around the country have been sending their officers to train with Israeli police for years.

Anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination activists rallied in London on Monday, despite nearly all coronavirus-related restrictions having been lifted the very same day.

Thousands gathered outside the Palace of Westminster, the seat of the country's parliament, carrying signs reading "Unity Is Freedom" and "It's Not a Pandemic, It's an IQ Test."

Protesters chanted, "Shame on Police" and demanded that Prime Minister Boris Johnson be arrested.

Though the rally was largely peaceful, there were tense moments when groups of demonstrators argued with police and some bottles were thrown at the officers.

Federal authorities have charged a father and son duo, both of whom served as police officers, with allegedly being among the people who joined Proud Boys members in storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

According to a superseding indictment unsealed Friday, authorities have charged 51-year-old Kevin Tuck and his son, 29-year-old Nathaniel Tuck, with multiple crimes, including obstruction of an official proceeding and disorderly and disruptive conduct.

The two were arrested in Tampa, Fla., and were released on a $25,000 bond Thursday, The Washington Post reported.

The Tucks were included in the indictment along with Edward George Jr., who was scheduled to appear in federal court Friday in Raleigh, N.C., as well as previously charged Orlando-area men Arthur Jackman and Paul Rae.

George was also charged with allegedly assaulting a police officer and stealing government property, and along with Kevin Tuck was charged with entering the Senate chamber.

Both George and Nathaniel Tuck were charged with engaging in civil disorder, according to the indictment.

'The government is losing ground' residents say as gangs take territory in Venezuela's capital

Wanted posters for members of El Koki's criminal gang

"Leave the area! Get the kids out!" screamed gang members walking through western Caracas' El Cementerio barrio with megaphones the morning of Thursday, July 8. The warning told residents in Venezuela's capital shooting would not soon stop.

By then barrio residents had already been sheltering in place for more than half a day, whole families prone on the floor to avoid unrelenting gunfire. But for the next 48 hours, El Cementerio and five nearby neighborhoods were paralyzed by an unprecedented display of firepower by gangs, known by neighbors as "the boys."

The pitched gun battles between police and a collection of gangs at least 300-strong based in a cluster of barrios in western Caracas are another sign President Nicolas Maduro is losing control over parts of Venezuela, which is suffering from a deep economic crisis and a protracted breakdown of the rule of law.

Comment: As local terrorism and neighborhood destruction become the norm, and gangs prevail as leadership, those who pay the biggest price are innocent residents caught in the middle without recourse or leverage.

Drug deaths in Russia spike 60% during pandemic

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 00:34 UTC

Deaths in Russia from drug-related causes jumped 60 percent in 2020 compared to a year earlier, mirroring trends elsewhere in the world during the coronavirus pandemic.

Last year, 7,316 people died from drug overdoses, up from 4,569 deaths a year earlier, according to data from Russia's statistics agency Rosstat analyzed by RBC news.

From 2016 to 2018, between 4,400 and 4,800 people died from drugs in Russia per year.

In 2020, 50,400 people also died from alcohol-related causes in Russia, or about 6.3 percent more than in 2019.

In June, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime noted the pandemic has led to an increase in drug use worldwide due in part to economic hardships and mental health issues.

Comment: As drug-induced deaths have increased on a global scale, most tragic are the rising numbers of children seeking suicide - an impact on humanity approaching the incalculable. Was escalating suicide a factor considered in the 'global plan'? A good guess would be 'yes'.
