Without Sun Crops Won't Grow... Without Food... Everything Dies....


 

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
And the sun
In my disgrace

Boiling heat
Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again

Scientists Discover Genetic Material Suggesting COVID Came From Chinese Lab


Soil sample contradicts animal to human explanation.

Scientists in Hungary examining a unique variant of COVID-19 have discovered genetic material that suggests the strain was being examined in a Chinese lab, bolstering the lab leak theory.

The researchers “found traces of a unique variant of coronavirus while examining DNA from soil from Antarctica that had been sent to the firm Sangon Biotech in Shanghai,” reports the Daily Mail.

Genetic material from Chinese hamsters and green monkeys was also discovered, “which may suggest the virus was being examined in a lab, using either the animals themselves or their cells,” according to the report.

Viscount Ridley said that such evidence bolsters the theory that the virus accidentally escaped or was leaked from the Wuhan lab deliberately.

The presence of “three key [COVID] mutations” is characteristic of the early sequences of the virus, according to Ridley.

The discovery contradicts claims that the virus jumped from animals to humans naturally.

For the best part of a year, the lab leak theory was dismissed by the legacy media and ‘fact checkers’ as a racist conspiracy theory.

It subsequently emerged that Dr. Peter Daszak, President of the EcoHealth Alliance, a group that has extensive ties to the Wuhan lab gain of function research, thanked Dr. Anthony Fauci for dismissing the lab leak theory early on in the pandemic.

He subsequently created a pressure campaign via a letter published by The Lancet to force the scientific community into avoiding looking into the lab as a potential source of the outbreak.

Daszak was also tasked by Facebook with ‘fact-checking’ (censoring) information related to the hypothesis, while Google, which via YouTube also censored information about...

Do You Know What I Am Made Of? It's Just A Tiny Piece Of Me, It's Just A Tiny Piece Of Me....



Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear, 'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

Where can I turn? 'Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure
Tell me why I feel so alone
'Cause I need to know to whom do I owe

Watch — Justin Trudeau Under Fire: Faces Second Day of Insults, Heckles in Canadian Parliament



Leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau endured a second day of intense heckling, insults, and accusations of prioritizing his political power over the health of citizens on Wednesday in a heated session of Parliament.

Trudeau is currently under fire from both the left and right for his handling of the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” protests, which have made their biggest impact in the national capital, Ottawa, but have surfaced in multiple major cities and American border crossings. As of Thursday, truckers are blocking the largest crossing between the two countries – Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario – and have blocked a border crossing in Manitoba. Prior protests had already hampered traffic between Alberta and Montana.

Conservatives have condemned Trudeau for dismissing the protesters – who are calling for an end to all coronavirus-related civil rights restrictions – as “racist” and “misogynist,” as well as comparing them to Nazis. Leftists have condemned Trudeau for not doing much to stop the protests other than insulting the protesters, demanding a plan for resolving the crisis that Trudeau has yet to offer.

The prime minister made his return to Parliament on Monday after disappearing to an “undisclosed location” at the beginning of the protests, announcing that he had tested positive for Chinese coronavirus. He has yet to enjoy a Parliament session this week that has not erupted in outbursts of disdain towards him – both from conservatives demanding he apologize for his insults towards the protesters and from leftists demanding more federal intervention to end the protests. During one such exchange on Tuesday, an unidentified lawmaker urged the hecklers to stay quiet: “let him answer, he’s not good at it!”


While Parliament discussion much of the past week centered around the protests, interim Conservative Party leader Candice Bergen began the question and answer session on Wednesday asking about Trudeau’s most recent call to elections in September, which she branded as “unnecessary” and costly. Canadians had gone to the national polls in 2019, and lawmakers recalled that Trudeau had promised not to call elections as the Chinese coronavirus pandemic continued raging.

“As British Columbia was burning, Afghanistan was falling, and we were in the fourth wave of the pandemic, the prime minister called an unnecessary, 600 million [Canadian dollars, $474.3 million] election to capitalize on this crisis,” Bergen assailed. “According to a senior liberal MP [member of Parliament], a decision was made to wedge, to divide, and to stigmatize … why would he [Trudeau] do this to a country that is already suffering and...

No Shot at a Fair Trial for January 6 Defendants in the Swamp


Biden’s Justice Department relies on the Beltway trifecta—partisan federal judges, news outlets, and prospective jurors—to codify its punitive prosecution and criminalize political dissent.

he first set of trials for the hundreds of protesters charged in the Justice Department’s sweeping criminal investigation into January 6 begins later this month. Since the Capitol building is considered the scene of the crime, every trial will be held in the District of Columbia—which means the jury pool will be composed solely of residents living in the nation’s capital.

To say this is a problem for Trump supporters facing even minor charges is a huge understatement.

January 6 defendants already have suffered the wrath of D.C.-based federal judges who’ve imposed unusually harsh prison sentences for low level misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies while routinely berating defendants from the bench.

For example, before sentencing a man who pleaded guilty to “parading” in the Capitol to serve 14 days in prison, D.C. District Court Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee, declared that January 6 protesters were “told lies, told falsehoods, told our election was stolen when it clearly was not.” The defendant, Mehta claimed, “was a pawn in a game directed and played by people who should know better.”

Now the fate of hundreds of January 6 defendants is in the hands of biased judges like Mehta and a city populated with government workers who voted nearly 94 percent for Joe Biden in 2020, prompting some defense attorneys to try to move trials out of Washington. In July, a defense lawyer in one high-profile case filed a change of venue motion before Judge Mehta that explained why January 6 defendants could not get a fair trial in such a heavily Democratic, politically obsessed city. “The level of antipathy towards Trump and his supporters in the District is off the charts and makes it impossible to find an impartial jury,” David W. Fischer, the attorney representing Thomas Caldwell, charged in the multi-defendant Oath Keepers prosecution.

Politicians and the media continue falsely to portray January 6 defendants as racists, Fischer continued, an accusation certain to enrage potential jurors in a city evenly split between blacks and left-wing whites. “President Biden, in a speech ironically advertised as intended to heal America’s racial divide, referred to January 6th Trump protesters as ‘thugs, insurrectionists, political extremists, and white supremacists.’ At his confirmation hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland pledged to ‘supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol on 6 January.’”

District residents “largely style themselves as chic, sophisticated, worldly, high-brow urbanites . . . repulsed by rural America’s traditional values, patriotism, religion, gun ownership, and perceived lack of education,” Fischer concluded, and further noted he has heard other D.C.-based defense attorneys refer to Trump supporters as “hillbillies” and “white trash.”

Judge Mehta, who has lived in or near Washington almost all of his adult life and clearly blames Donald Trump for what happened in...

Britt Hume Drops a Truth Bomb on Dems Dropping Mask Mandates: ‘It’s Not the Science That’s Changed, It’s the Politics’


During a segment on his show last night Tucker Carlson asked Britt Hume if he thought it odd that so many Democrat leaders have changed or modified their state’s mask mandated seemingly all at once.

“Yeah, it’s not the science that has changed, it’s the politics, and the political winds are killing them so strongly that I think the democratic politicians can see that what has happened, they want out from under these mask mandates. Parents are up in arms about them and understandably so,” Hume said.

“Coupled with this whole issue has been that the science that backs up masks for everybody has never been very strong. Only a couple of studies, and they were basically inconclusive at best.”

“But there really is no science at all of any legitimacy that says that it is a good idea and necessary for children, who are the least vulnerable population in the country, to wear masks,” Hume added. “And yet it has gone on all this time. There was a refusal to recognize the harms being done to children. We kept hearing planned assurances that kids are adaptable and adjustable and everything is going to be fine, and now of course, people are saying it is not working out that way, that there are serious problems, so the mask mandates are now on the way out.”

Tucker Carlson then laid the blame for the damage done to our society from mandates and lockdowns where it belongs, with Democrats, and asked Hume if he thought changing course will save the Dems in November.

“I don’t see how,” Hume replied. “The problem of course is what happened, what the Democrats did is they decided that the only experts and the only expert advice that matters was that coming from the epidemiologists. The epidemiologists basically have one job: to fight the disease. But the side effects, the collateral damage, that is not their responsibility.”

“Epidemiologists aren’t responsible for the U.S. economy, children’s education, children’s mental health, not responsible for cancer screenings that got missed because people could not go out and all the rest of it. Mistake that was made was making them the only advice that was really listened to for a long time time, and there is a poll out now about whether to move on or not. Majorities, huge majorities of independents and Republicans, adding up to something like 70% of the population, thinks we should. It appears only a minority of Democrats want restrictions to continue. They have been alarmists all...

The Capitol Police have been fully weaponized against Republicans


If you visited D.C. in the days before COVID and January 6 madness, and wandered around (or got permission to go into) the Capitol, you saw Capitol Police officers on duty. They were doing pretty much what all police officers do, which is to stand guard at vulnerable spots, making sure no one did anything naughty (e.g., graffiti) or downright dangerous (e.g., gun or knife attacks). However, beginning with January 6, 2021, it became apparent that Nancy Pelosi's Capitol Police officers have a different mandate: defend the Democrat party hold on power.

On January 6, the Capitol Police failed to protect the Capitol. We know this because Capitol Police chief Steven Sund, after being fired on January 7, 2021, explained that he had requested backup from the National Guard, which never arrived, and that his people just weren't ready. Trump stated that he had requested that 10,000 National Guard troops be deployed to the Capitol before January 6 to provide protection for his rally. According to him, congressional leaders said no. What really happened remains a mystery despite the "investigation" by the January 6 Committee. You'd think they would have figured that one out.

Also bizarrely, on January 6, someone (the Capitol Police?) opened from the inside the Capitol's 20,000-pound doors, which are secured by powerful magnetic locks. We then saw footage of the same Capitol Police graciously welcoming people inside, which led many innocents to believe they had the perfect right to be inside the People's House.

For those of us (like me), who think January 6 was an entrapment scheme, it would appear that the Capitol Police were part of the plan.

And if you're inclined to distrust the Capitol Police, you're not going to like hearing what happened last November to Congressman Troy Nehls, a Republican from Texas who has locked horns with Nancy Pelosi. According to him, the Capitol police entered his office illegally and took pictures of confidential information on his desk:


Congressman Nehls's newly revealed claim about an intrusion into his office follows on the heels of assertions that the Capitol Police have been spying on...
