In a world where "no first use" of nuclear weapons helps keep the peace, the Chicoms are willing to reject that policy because western powers have the temerity to form alliances even as China prepares to add 3,600 deliverable warheads

Beijing's former ambassador to the UN, Sha Zukang said China must make the first nuclear strike against the US if Joe Biden continues to defend Taiwan.

He said: "The unconditional no first use is not suitable . . . unless China-US negotiations agree that neither side would use [nuclear weapons] first, or the US will no longer take any passive measures to undermine the effectiveness of China’s strategic forces.

"The strategic pressure on China is intensifying as (the US) has built new military alliances and as it increases its military presence in our neighbourhood." ...

The country is constructing nearly 300 new nuclear missile silos, while it is thought to possess around 320 nuclear warheads, report the Times.

More. 

New alliances by the west wouldn't be necessary if China weren't building super-hardened silos for its MIRVed missiles, each of which can carry 10 warheads. 320 new invulnerable silos will mean an arms race requiring western powers to modernize systems to withstand a first use strike by China and deliver enough additional firepower to take them out.

There is still time, brother.

 

Peter Daszak & Company just coincidentally proposed to insert novel cleavage sites into novel SARS-related viruses in their lab in 2018, and presto! in late 2019 one suddenly gets loose in the world

Leaked Grant Proposal Details High-Risk Coronavirus Research

The proposal, rejected by U.S. military research agency DARPA, describes the insertion of human-specific cleavage sites into SARS-related bat coronaviruses:

“Some kind of threshold has been crossed,” said Alina Chan, a Boston-based scientist and co-author of the upcoming book “Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19.” Chan has been vocal about the need to thoroughly investigate the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a lab while remaining open to both possible theories of its development. For Chan, the revelation from the proposal was the description of the insertion of a novel furin cleavage site into bat coronaviruses — something people previously speculated, but had no evidence, may have happened.

“Let’s look at the big picture: A novel SARS coronavirus emerges in Wuhan with a novel cleavage site in it. We now have evidence that, in early 2018, they had pitched inserting novel cleavage sites into novel SARS-related viruses in their lab,” said Chan. 

 

“This definitely tips the scales for me. And I think it should do that for many other scientists too.”

 

The leaked grant proposal is here, naming all the principals, in the US, Singapore, and the Bat Lady at the Wuhan Institute of Virology: Baric, Wang, Shi, Rocke, and Unidad.

They laid out the road map, and it looks like Wuhan Institute of Virology followed it. Or maybe Daszak and Company did, but without the federal funding. Still "no smoking gun", but an awful lot of dead bodies involving the very thing they proposed to work on.

The targets are more numerous but H-Hour remains the same

 

'Von Neumann entered government service primarily because he felt that, if freedom and civilization were to survive, it would have to be because the United States would triumph over totalitarianism from Nazism, Fascism and Soviet Communism. During a Senate committee hearing he described his political ideology as "violently anti-communist, and much more militaristic than the norm". He was quoted in 1950 remarking, "If you say why not bomb [the Soviets] tomorrow, I say, why not today? If you say today at five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?"'

What the world needs now to stop the Chicoms before it's too late

 

Meanwhile the whole world just shrugs its shoulders as the farcical data shows the Chicoms contributing NOTHING to Asia's C19 case and death data, as if there are none!

 

So, this morning 3rd shot booster heaven Israel is actually 19th worst in the world for C19 deaths per million, not 50th (yesterday was the Sabbath!), and 8th worst in the world for cases per million

 

Well that didn't take long: Pfizer brought down the cases in Israel, see, but then along came big bad Delta and cases went back up, see, meanwhile effectiveness fades after 5 months, see, so you need a booster of the same stuff that doesn't work, see

 AP Obama talks up the John Maynard C19 Booster Shot:

https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-middle-east-public-health-coronavirus-vaccine-9ee6e5d46d29c08bf7610b39713b025e

Most adults had received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine by March, causing infection levels to plummet and allowing the government to lift nearly all coronavirus restrictions.

But in June, the highly infectious delta variant began to spread. After studying the matter, experts concluded that the vaccine remained effective against the virus, but that its efficacy waned roughly five months after the second shot.

In late July, Israel began distributing booster shoots to at-risk citizens, including those over 60. Within weeks, it expanded the campaign to the general population.

More than 3 million of Israel’s 9 million citizens have gotten a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine, according to the Health Ministry. ...
 

The Israeli Health Ministry said the FDA decision “gave validity to the third vaccine operation” underway in Israel, which “decided to act responsibly and quickly in order to treat growing infections.” It said statistics show the booster dose has “restored protection.”

Israel tonight ranks 8th worst in the world for C19 cases per million, and about 50th for deaths per million (in the top 25%). There were just over 50 in hospital in mid-June, but tonight there remain well over 1000 hospitalized for C19 after peaking at 1444 at the end of August.

 

Arizona audit gave Biden more votes, but 50k ballots were flagged as possibly illegal, almost 5x Biden's 10.4k margin of victory

The more than 50,000 ballots flagged by auditors for more investigation involved concerns ranging from people voting from addresses from which they had already moved to residents voting twice. The total in question was nearly five times the 10,400 vote margin that separated the two presidential candidates, giving Donald Trump's troops fresh reason to call for more scrutiny.

The job of resolving the question now falls to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican who has ambitions of winning a U.S. Senate seat in 2022.

Brnovich immediately seized the opportunity, announcing his office's election integrity unit would review the questionable ballots to determine if further action was warranted. ...

6,591 ... moved to another state before the registration deadline ... 5,295 voters cast ballots in Maricopa and at least one other county using "the same first, middle, last name and birth year".

Story claims Jake Sullivan committed perjury in the phony Trump-Russia collusion affair, along with Michael Sussmann

Here:

Sullivan is facing scrutiny, sources say, over potentially false statements he made about his involvement in the effort, which continued after the election and into 2017. As a senior foreign policy adviser to Clinton, Sullivan spearheaded what was known inside her campaign as a “confidential project” to link Trump to the Kremlin through dubious email-server records provided to the agencies, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. ...

It turns out that the supposed “secret server" was housed in the small Pennsylvania town of Lititz, and not  Trump Tower in New York City, and it was operated by a marketing firm based in Florida called Cendyn that routinely blasts out emails promoting multiple hotel chains. Simply put, the third-party server sent spam to Alfa Bank employees who used Trump hotels. The bank had maintained a New York office since 2001.

“The FBI’s investigation revealed that the email server at issue was not owned or operated by the Trump Organization but, rather, had been administrated by a mass-marketing email company that sent advertisements for Trump hotels and hundreds of other clients,” Durham wrote in his indictment.

Nonetheless, Jones and Sullivan kept promoting the canard as true.

 

It's kinda hysterical on the day when CDC overrules FDA on C19 boosters that Clay and Buck bring on that dope Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas to say he's glad CDC did it

Way to go, Brownies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hutchinson is a confused dope. He wants Republicans to be more tolerant of gender-bending for adolescents because . . . freedom!, and then applauds CDC overruling the FDA and making vaccine boosters available even though the FDA wanted a pause until there was trial data available to support the move.

This is the same guy who banned local mask mandates in April but by August said he regretted it.

CDC story overruling FDA on C19 boosters is just line ten news at Drudge

Seems like kind of a big deal that the freedom everyone thinks they have because of the shots now depends on having another one . . . and then probably another one, and another one, and another one, and . . ..

The July 4th outbreak in Provincetown, MA, already proved that the vaccines don't stop the spread, which is why the CDC ignominiously reversed itself on mask guidance when the study came out later that month. Another study in a Texas prison has proven the same thing in the interim. 70% of fully vaccinated inmates were infected anyway.

Vaccinated people are spreaders, and put them together in close quarters and they become superspreaders.

The CDC's own data out in two studies in August and September shows that effectiveness falls off within months of vaccination, especially among older people, and that breakthrough hospitalizations and deaths are on the rise because of it.

 

They simply don't want to say this out loud because it means the vaccines, if not definitively a complete failure, aren't at all living up to expectations.

 

The booster decision says it for them.

 

The problem with this, however, is that they've been insinuating all along that this latest wave of cases and deaths is all the fault of the India variant, not the vaccines. The India variant is "special".

 

The vaccines didn't prevent the Delta wave, but the solution is supposed to be more of the same vaccines in the form of a third shot?

 

This is laughable, and it's the biggest story of the year.

 

Surging breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in coming months will be blamed on: NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE GETTING THE THIRD SHOT!

But Drudge wants to be respectable now. That's why the story isn't the headline.

 

 

LOL, Alex Berenson writes that for most of its history Australia has been a white outpost against the Asian hordes, like that's a bad thing

Here:

Anyhow, Covid was perfect for Australia, which has a long and ugly history of trying to protect its borders at all costs. For most of its national existence it viewed itself pretty much explicitly as a white outpost against the Asian hordes.

I guess whites are the only people in the world not allowed to go cray-cray if they want to.

The anti-white racism just never ends, does it?

Protestant "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God" gets a hearing in Roman Catholic/Jewish dominated National Review

From the story, which draws a straight line from the human equality and freedom in Christ taught in St. Paul's Letter to the Romans right on through St. Augustine and Martin Luther to the American Revolution:

 

In the years leading up to the American Revolution, Jonathan Mayhew preached a widely disseminated sermon justifying rebellion against tyranny. His text was Romans, Chapter 13 — Paul’s instruction to believers to submit to political authorities: 

 

Thus, upon a careful review of the apostle’s reasoning in this passage, it appears that his arguments to enforce submission, are of such a nature, as to conclude only in favor of submission to such rulers as he himself describes, i.e., such as rule for the good of society, which is the only end of their institution. Common tyrants, and public oppressors, are not entitled to obedience from their subjects, by virtue of anything here laid down by the inspired apostle.

 

John Adams, reflecting on the origins of the Revolution years later, cited Mayhew’s sermon as a factor in persuading pious believers of the legitimacy of political resistance. Mayhew may also have persuaded the more secular-minded Ben Franklin, whose proposed motto for the American seal was “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”

 

Our Christians never talk this way anymore, unfortunately

 

Military successes, above all others, elevate the minds of a people.

LOL, my progressive neighbor lady was trying to set me straight on COVID-19 the other day by insisting that the case fatality rate was 3.4%

Which was true . . . way back in March 2020.

She's still using talking points from over a year ago, which she cuts and pastes into her emails.

The lights are on, but no one is home. 

I liked her better not knowing this, alas.

For the US to date the cfr is 1.6% and globally to date it's 2.05%, per Johns Hopkins this morning.

Notice, by the way, the imprecision in the popular press below, which was widespread at the time and even came out of Anthony Fauci's own mouth, mixing up case fatality rate and mortality rate. Mortality rate is usually expressed in deaths/100k/year, case fatality rate as a percentage of cases dying, which fluctuates constantly, obviously.

The cfr has been in steady decline, and consequently the mortality rate for the second year of the pandemic is going to be much lower than for the first year.

You can repeal the 19th Amendment, but you can't repeal the hysteria.

Huge COVID-19 outbreak among fully vaccinated Texas prison inmates mirrors huge Provincetown, MA, outbreak among fully vaccinated gay revelers July 4: The vaccinated are spreading the disease

 Story BURIED by AP Obama here (Drudge also buried the story last night, shown below):

NEW YORK — A new study of Texas prison inmates provides more evidence that coronavirus can spread even in groups where most people are vaccinated.

A COVID-19 outbreak at a federal prison in July and August infected 172 male inmates in two prison housing units, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released Tuesday.

About 80% of the inmates in the units had been vaccinated. More than 90% of the unvaccinated inmates wound up being infected, as did 70% of the fully vaccinated prisoners.

Severe illness, however, was more common among the unvaccinated. The hospitalization rate was almost 10 times higher for them compared with those who got the shots.

It echoes research into a July outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where several hundred people were infected -- about three-quarters of whom were fully vaccinated.

Such reports have prompted a renewed push by health officials for even vaccinated people to wear masks and take other precautions. They believe the delta variant, a version of coronavirus that spreads more easily, and possibly waning immunity may be playing a role.

The authors did not identify the prison, but media reports in July detailed a similar-sized outbreak at the federal prison in Texarkana.

You know your vaccine is in trouble when its effectiveness among its most vulnerable recipients drops by 22 points in just a couple of months

Especially when they start out not-so-hot to begin with.

CDC, Aug 18, 2021:

Two doses of mRNA vaccines were 74.7% effective against infection among nursing home residents early in the vaccination program (March–May 2021). During June–July 2021, when B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant circulation predominated, effectiveness declined significantly to 53.1%. ... This study could not differentiate the independent impact of the Delta variant from other factors, such as potential waning of vaccine-induced immunity. ... nursing home residents were among the earliest groups vaccinated in the United States; thus, if vaccine-induced immunity does wane over time, this decrease in VE might first be observed among nursing home residents.

We've added six earthquakes to this chart since the end of July
