Russian political analyst Daria Dugina, who was killed in a car bomb explosion in Moscow on Saturday, now appears as "liquidated" on the Ukrainian online hit list. The site was created under the watch of the Minister of Internal Affairs.

I have written about the Ukrainian hit list known as Mirotvorets, or "Peacekeeper," twice before. The first time was in this article about internet censorship, and the second time was when a 13-year-old Ukrainian girl, Faina Savenkova, was added to the list for publicly speaking out against Kiev's bloody war on Russian-speaking civilians in the eastern part of Ukraine, a region known as the Donbass.

Moderna sues BioNTech/Pfizer?

Before I could even get one cup of coffee down the hatch this morning, I was hit with a barrage of emails, texts, and phone calls asking me for quotes concerning the press release issued by Moderna regarding their decision to sue BioNTech/Pfizer for patent infringement concerning the insanely profitable SARS-CoV-2 mRNA "vaccine" products marketed by BioNTech/Pfizer ("Comirnaty" - licensed but not actually marketed in the USA). What I had hoped to do today was put on my work clothes and go pick up the ditch trencher that I had reserved so that we can get fiber optic cable laid down between the various buildings that form our farm compound, including the new recording studio. And to try to finish editing on the book - "The lies my government told me and the better future coming". But no, once again the tyranny of the urgent has ambushed me, and like a shakedown in a NY City alley, I must comply.

Let's dive into this. I have done the diligence, reviewed the (amazingly superficial) press coverage which has been printed on this topic, and have already responded to three different interview and statement requests. Hopefully, by putting my thoughts down in the form of a substack article, I can just refer future inquires to this analysis.

Among the many things I have learned about the corporate (and academic) press over the last three years it is how completely incompetent they are when it comes to being able to read and understand patents. This really became apparent during the concerted efforts made by corporate press, scientific press (including the NEJM), wikipedia editors, and U Penn/BioNTech seeking to claim that Kariko and Weissman came up with the invention , to Paul Offit making derisive statements in a podcast interview and in the New England Journal of Medicine. All of which intentionally and willfully disregard the nine issued patents (for which I am a co-inventor) which refute these claims. Note that Paul Offit, for example, is employed by the same university as Kariko and Weissman (UPenn), and for which patent UPenn receives quite significant patent royalty payments. This one by STAT news is particularly egregious. "Loose idea" - 9 issued US patents?

A car theft challenge going viral on TikTok and other social media apps has led to a 767% increase in Hyundai and Kia vehicle thefts in the Chicago area since the beginning of July compared to last year, according to authorities.

TikTok users are posting videos under the hashtag "Kia Boyz," teaching people how to start Kia or Hyundai vehicles without keys, using the tip of a phone charger or USB cable, prompting juveniles across the country to try and steal those vehicles.

"Vehicle theft is up an astounding 767% due to an emerging TikTok challenge," The Chicago Police Department's 15th District said in an Aug. 24 community advisory. "This challenge is a play by play [sic] for young adults on how to steal both Hyundai and Kia vehicles. These automobile thefts are a crime of opportunity and can affect just about any member of the community."

Comment: Whilst the ease and novelty of these thefts has surely contributed to their rise, crime of all kinds has surged in both the US and the UK, and so it would appear that there are other contributing factors, such as lockdowns and soaring poverty, that are also to blame; and there's every reason to believe that this crime wave will only get worse:

New normal Germany's Geisterfahrer Geist

So, it's official. On Wednesday, August 24, New Normal Germany's Bundestag rubber stamped the government's latest revision to the so-called "Infection Protection Act" (i.e., New Normal Germany's new Enabling Act), authorizing the continued persecution of "the Unvaccinated" (i.e., New Normal Germany's new official Untermenschen), the mandatory wearing of medical-looking masks (i.e., the ideological-compliance symbol of the New Normal Reich throughout the world), the banning of protests against the New Normal (i.e., the new official ideology of Germany), and assorted other "emergency measures."

These "emergency measures" are purportedly designed to protect the German people from a "health threat" that (a) does not exist; (b) the vast majority of other countries in Europe and the rest of the world have finally admitted does not exist; (c) never existed in the first place; and (d) not even the most fanatical Covidian Cultists can still pretend to present a plausible argument for the existence of without sounding like severely cognitively-impaired persons.

For example, Karl Lauterbach (who is still for some reason the official Minister of Health of Germany, despite the fact that he has been lying to the public and fomenting hatred of "the Unvaccinated" like the reanimated corpse of Joseph Goebbels on a daily basis for over two years) explained why Germany is pushing ahead with its plan to coercively "vaccinate" the entire population, over and over. According to Lauterbach, the "vaccines" cause "multiply-vaccinated" persons to develop symptoms of the illness their multiple "vaccinations" were designed to keep them from being infected with more quickly than "the Unvaccinated," so they stay home, and thus help to "limit the pandemic," whereas "the Unvaccinated," being "asymptomatic," go around heedlessly infecting "the Vaccinated," which they wouldn't be doing if they had been "multiply-vaccinated," as they would be home suffering the flu-like symptoms they were assured the "vaccines" would protect them from suffering but which actually caused them to suffer more quickly.

Nord Stream 2 'only sensible' solution to gas crisis - German MP

Germany needs to stick to a 'fact-oriented policy' in dealing with fuel shortages, Steffen Kotre says.

The launch of Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline could help solve the growing energy crisis in Europe, Bundestag MP Steffen Kotre told the TASS news agency on Wednesday.

Kotre, who is a member of the German parliamentary committee on energy and climate protection, believes:
"Even if the gas storage facilities are full, there will be enough for about three months this winter. And then what? Ideology has to give way to a real fact-oriented policy... The only sensible solution is to launch Nord Stream 2."
In recent weeks the German government has insisted that there are no plans to launch the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was completed last year but never went into operation due to Berlin's reluctance to grant it certification.

Comment: Plan places restrictions on heat and lighting for majority of population:
The German government has approved a package of measures aimed at reducing gas consumption during the upcoming heating season, Economy Minister Robert Habeck told reporters after a cabinet meeting in Berlin on Wednesday.

The measures include reducing the heating temperature in offices and public institutions - with the exception of social institutions like hospitals - from 20 to 19 degrees Celsius (68 to 66 degrees Fahrenheit). Also, outdoor advertising and the lighting of storefronts and monuments will be turned off from 10pm to 6am local time. Moreover, store owners will be urged to refrain from keeping the doors to their premises open for too long at a time to preserve heat.

The measures are expected to be put into effect gradually from September 1 through October 1. There are also plans to turn off the heat in the corridors, foyers, and technical rooms of public buildings, and ban private home pools from being heated with gas.
"The measures will help reduce energy consumption, but not to the extent that we can sit back and say, that's it ... Gas consumption will be reduced by about 2-2.5%. That means we have a long way to go."
According to him, these measures could save private households and companies around €10.8 billion ($10.7 billion) over the next two years.
Myopically, Germany may mitigate the immediate problem. Over the next several decades, however, such posturing and ideology ensure a chilling effect.

DeSantis unloads on Biden's student loan disaster: truck drivers paying for "gender studies" PhDs...

Ron DeSantis is at it again:

He's absolutely right: the people who should be punished are not necessarily the debtors, but the universities. Defund them all. Let the debtors discharge their unpayable debts in bankruptcy.

Comment: More from New York Post:
Asserting that "an entire generation is now saddled with unsustainable debt," President Biden announced Wednesday that his administration would nix up to $20,000 in student loan debt held by borrowers who got federal Pell Grants and earn less than $125,000 individually or $250,000 as part of a household. The proposal would also erase $10,000 in debt for non-Pell Grant recipients.

The White House estimates that up to 20 million Americans could see their student loans completely written off as a result of the order.

The Republican also echoed other GOP critics of Biden's plan by saying it was unconstitutional and would likely face reversal in the courts.

"He does not have the constitutional authority to do this," DeSantis said. "He is relying on emergency powers because of COVID. Wait a minute. You got a gender studies degree five years ago and that has something to do with COVID?"

Critics of Biden's plan have argued that only Congress can relieve debtors of their student loans, a point argued by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) last year.

The White House says it has the authority to cancel debt under a 2003 law giving the Education Department broad authority to help student loan recipients in the event of a national emergency.

US government wants more non-white farmers

President Joe Biden's administration is doling out $550 million for programs to help poor farmers and increase racial diversity in agricultural careers, adding to its previous "equity" outlays for food producers.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced new funding on Wednesday, saying it aimed to help "underserved" producers access land, capital and markets and to train "the next diverse generation of agricultural professionals." The spending binge targets "farmers of color," meaning those with skin colors other than white.

The announcement follows a failed effort by the Biden administration to provide debt forgiveness to only non-white farmers through a March 2021 Covid-19 relief bill. A federal judge ruled in June 2021 that racially-based debt relief was unconstitutionally discriminatory.

A $739 billion tax and spending bill that Biden's Democratic Party pushed through Congress earlier this month enabled the USDA to take another crack at its diversity push, this time using broader language regarding eligibility to avoid court challenges. The spending package announced on Wednesday is part of the effort. The USDA also plans to offer a new debt-relief program for "economically distressed" farmers - not just those who are non-white - preferably by October, when a Covid-related moratorium on farm foreclosures is scheduled to end.

Comment: Geez! Food is food. Will stores be required to label 'this corn was provided by a farmer of color'?

Child-safety advocates are blasting Twitter and lining up to support a lawsuit that alleges the social network declined to remove videos depicting the sexual exploitation of minors despite pleas from a victim and his family.

"It's child sexual abuse material. He was 13 years old and being extorted. What the hell is Twitter doing?" asked Hany Farid, a professor at the School of Information at UC Berkeley.

Farid, who has testified before Congress five times on issues of online safety and regulation, and others filed paperwork with a federal appellate court in San Francisco last week supporting the lawsuit.

Court strikes down "quarantine camp" regulation in New York State

We have had a tremendous victory here in New York: a Supreme Court Judge has struck down Governor Kathy Hochul's forced quarantine regulation! On July 8, 2022, Judge Ronald Ploetz ruled that the "Isolation and Quarantine Procedures" regulation is unconstitutional and "violative of New York State law as promulgated and enacted, and therefore null, void and unenforceable as a matter of law."

Shockingly, Governor Hochul and Attorney General, Letitia James, plan to appeal the decision. Yes, that's right...the Governor and AG, both unabashedly support quarantine camps! One would think that this fact, in and of itself, would be disturbing enough but add to it the fact that they're both running for election this November, and you can see just how unconstitutionally brazen and wholly out-of-touch with New Yorkers each of these "leaders" is.

For anyone who missed my prior article on this horrific forced quarantine regime, the regulation truly shocks the conscience. Without exaggeration, it's something out of a dystopian horror movie. It gives the unelected bureaucrats in the Department of Health the power to pick and choose who they want to "detain," if they believe it's even possible you might have a communicable disease. They don't have to prove you're actually sick.

Comment: This is a great development. However, when everyone is gripped in fear over the next 'pandemic,' will the decisions made be as reasonable?

Gender dysphoria is covered by disability law, federal court rules

tranny protest
© Eric Gay / AP fileDemonstrators gather on the steps of the Texas State Capitol in Austin on May 20, 2021, to protest transgender-related legislation being considered in the Legislature.
The ruling could become a powerful tool to challenge legislation restricting access to medical care and other accommodations for transgender people, advocates say.

A federal ruling that gender dysphoria is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act could help block conservative political efforts to restrict access to gender-affirming care, advocates and experts say.

A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last week became the first federal appellate court in the country to find that the 1990 landmark federal law protects transgender people who experience anguish and other symptoms as a result of the disparity between their assigned sex and their gender identity.

Comment: What ideologically possessed 'medical entities' have to say on the subject is neither here nor there. Common sense dictates that one should not allow children to make drastic irreversible decisions about their bodies and their health at such a young age. And the idea that the tax-payer should be footing the bill for this 'care,' is deplorable.
