'I am the state, the state is me': Tucker Carlson mocks Fauci's alleged lies about covid-19

fauci tucker carlson
Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson mocked White House senior medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci's alleged false claims and inconsistencies about COVID-19.

Carlson noted that Fauci has made several incorrect conclusions about both the virus and the vaccine in an attempt to "give more power" to the Biden administration. "Tony Fauci has been consistent on one point, one point really only," Carlson said. "And that is that you need to give more power to the Biden administration. His patrons."

Fauci announced Monday that he will step down from his position at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and from advising the White House this upcoming December.

He played a segment of Fauci in July arguing there should have been "more stringent restrictions" imposed in order to prevent asymptomatic individuals from spreading the virus.

In China, latest Minions movie gets a new ending that promotes rule of law

Minions: The Rise of Gru
What's small, yellow, loves bananas and promotes the rule of law? A Minion, at least according to an edited version of the latest animated film featuring supervillain Gru and his army of tiny sidekicks being screened in China.

The fifth instalment of the lucrative "Despicable Me" franchise, "Minions: The Rise of Gru", premiered in China this month, several weeks after the film opened in United States cinemas.

But while the international version of the kung fu-filled family-friendly romp set in 1970s San Francisco tells the story of how the dastardly Gru cut his teeth as a tween criminal, filmgoers in China are treated to an alternative ending in which the good guys win.

A series of subtitled still images inserted into the credits sequence on mainland Chinese screens reassures audiences that police catch Gru's law-breaking mentor Wild Knuckles and lock him up for 20 years after a failed heist.

International viewers simply see Knuckles give police the slip by faking his death earlier in the film's concluding scenes, but in the Chinese version he puts his con artist skills to positive use in prison, where he follows his "love of acting" and sets up a theatrical troupe.

As for Gru, he "eventually became one of the good guys", devoted to raising his family, the Chinese ending says.


Comment: Plato approves.

France to hire 3,000 'green police' to improve investigation of environmental issues, medicine tracking, and bioterrorism

© REUTERS/Stephane MaheA firefighting truck works to contain a fire in Saint-Magne, as wildfires continue to spread in the Gironde region of southwestern France, August 11, 2022.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has announced plans to launch 3,000 "green gendarme positions" to improve the investigation proceedings in environmental issues - particularly in cases of arson.


Comment: Apparently the government has room in the budget for these new hires, despite the fact they won't address actual, critical issues like the looming food shortages, the energy crisis, and the country's tanking economy.


"The aim is to have gendarmes (police officers) trained in attacks on ecology in each gendarmerie brigade... It will be a revolution", the minister said on Sunday. This summer, "there were between 80 and 120 fires per day in France; to date we have carried out 26 arrests of suspected arsonists."


Comment: With so many fires, and just 26 arrests, it seems highly unlikely that these officers, who will likely be spread across the country, will make much difference.


Darmanin hopes that the move will "massively strengthen local and central authorities in the fight against damage to the environment."

In 2004, the Central Office to Tackle Environmental Crime (OCLAESP) was founded. In July, it led investigations into the great fire of Landiras in Gironde.

Comment: What are the chances that these 'green gendarmes' will instead be deployed against the average citizen breaking minor, and likely arbitrary, rules, meanwhile the biggest polluters, such as the national and international corporations, will continue getting away with the most egregious criminality?

It's notable that over in Russia they seem to have the right idea, with new legislation that will block profits of corporations who destroy the environment, and they've already followed through with a $2 billion fine against a corporation over a massive oil spill.

EU admits it applies double standards to Ukraine and Palestine

The EU's foreign-policy chief Josep Borrel has admitted that double standards permeate international relations, after being asked in an interview why Brussels was far more willing to support the people of Ukraine than the people of Gaza. The Middle East conflict is not in the EU's hands, he said, pointing the finger at the US.

"We are often criticized for double standards. But international politics is to a large degree about applying double standards. We do not use the same criteria for all problems," he told El Pais newspaper, as cited on Thursday.

Earlier in the interview, Borrell had said that supporting Kiev against Moscow was a "moral imperative" for Western nations.

"Resolving the situation with those people trapped in an open-air prison, which Gaza is, is not in the hands of the EU," the diplomat said. He called the squalid living conditions in Gaza "scandalous" and "a shame," but would not be drawn on the origins of the humanitarian crisis.

Comment: It's hierarchy that is important to EU, not the human cataclysm that has been ongoing for decades.

'We should kill as many Russians as we can' - Ukrainian envoy

Ukraine is doing its best to "kill as many Russians" as possible, the nation's ambassador to Kazakhstan, Pyotr Vrublevsky, told local media outlets on Monday.

Speaking to a local blogger, Vrublevsky was asked to comment on the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
"What can I say ... We are trying to kill as many [Russians] as possible. The more Russians we kill now, the fewer our children will have to. That's it."
The Ukrainian envoy's remarks sparked anger in Russia, with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accusing Kiev of 'terrorist' policies. She wrote on Telegram:
"Only an ambassador of a terrorist regime can say such things. The Kiev Nazis have been killing people for eight years silently and blaming Moscow for everything, but now they are openly talking about their ethnic cleansing plans."

The 'Super Fat' social justice hierarchy

allgo app
Like every identity in the social justice movement, simply delineating the oppressed and oppressor classes is no longer sufficient.

The drive for ever-greater victimhood requires a further step. Victims within the oppressed class are stratified by their degree of oppression based on the level of the particular characteristic in question.

For instance, light-skinned Persons of Color© are perceived to have greater privilege than their black counterparts.

Fauci to step down in December

fauci

Comment: el gato malo appears to throw his lot in with e.e. cummings, in that he doesn't believe much in punctuation or at all in capital letters. It's still a good post.


collins (who ran NIH) got out of dodge last year.

the heads of FDA vaccine division quit in quite vocal disgust and had a lot to say after they did.

birx got tossed for failure to follow her own recommendations. (and has gained no sense of irony since)

redfield ran like hell and handed dumpster fire of CDC to walensky who is now looking to "re-org" the agency because its manifold failures have become so public that even the NYT is dunking on them.

and now we get the confirmation of fauci flight.

truly the rats are leaving these ships in droves.

New York governor signs new law banning 'gendered language' for professions

Kathy Hochul
Gov. Kathy Hochul's administration is being sued for allegedly cutting access to specialty doctors for government workers and retirees covered by the Empire Health Plan.
On Thursday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a series of legislation monitoring the usage of "gendered language" in laws across the state.

One bill, pertaining to laws across the state, replaces the words councilman or councilmen with the gender neutral terms council member or council members.

Another bill, which references salesmen in regards to retail property, changes the term salesman or salesmen with salesperson.


Comment: We fail to see how the fascistic policing of language is making "our streets and communities safer," but OK.

Saskatchewan warns Trudeau's federal Nitrogen agents could be arrested for trespassing on farmer's property

canada farming
© The Counter SignalSaskatchewan Minister Jeremy Cockrill has sent a warning to the Trudeau government that officers sent by Ottawa will be arrested if they continue to trespass on farmland to test nitrogen levels.
According to Cockrill, Trudeau's government has been unlawfully sending federal employees onto Saskatchewan farmlands to test for nitrogen levels without the consent of landowners.

In the letter, the Minister raised multiple complaints from Saskatchewan farmers that raised "serious concerns about Government of Canada employees, in clearly marked Government of Canada vehicles, trespassing on private lands." The farmers reporting these trespasses made clear that these government agents did not request permission to access the land and were not in any other manner given consent to access it.

Comment: Whilst seeing pushback like this gives one reason to be hopeful, when one considers the lockdowns; the Canadian government's totalitarian crackdown on trucker protests; as well as the draconian response to farmers in other Western nations, it seems more likely that the establishment will abuse every avenue possible in order to further their nefarious agenda: Farmer protests spread across the globe

The BBC's "Unvaccinated": The pandemic dataset - part 3

bbc pandemic propaganda
In Part 1 we looked at the propaganda and manipulation techniques used throughout the BBC programme "Unvaccinated with Professor Hannah Fry."

In Part 2 we considered the undisclosed conflicts of interest that apparently led some of the BBC's chosen "experts" to make some misleading statements.

Yet perhaps the greatest single deception of all was in the BBC press release announcing the programme, which read:
Professor Hannah Fry is a British Mathematician who worked on the data that helped bring the UK out of its first lockdown.
This was incredibly disingenuous of the BBC. On the contrary, Prof. Fry worked on the data that helped put the UK into lockdown.

She was a major contributor to what became known globally as the BBC Pandemic Dataset, which, as we shall see, was central to creating of the myth of a pandemic — central, that is, to creating a pseudopandemic.
