Are Vaccines Fueling New Covid Variants? The author of an op-ed published this week in the Wall Street Journal suggested COVID-19 vaccines could be fueling new variants, a theory posited as far back as August 2021 by vaccinologist Geert Vanden Bossche. The new mutation in XBB.1.5 also allows the virus to bind more tightly to human cells through the ACE2 receptor, the doors the virus uses to enter human cells, making it more transmissible.

SEERS Pandemic, which Bill Gates and the World Health Organization(WHO), two of the key figures in orchestrating the COVID-19 Plandemic, are projecting and planning to unleash on the world in 2025. Along with that unleashing will be the next round of liberty-violating measures like the lockdowns, social distancing, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates wrought forth from the COVID-19 Plandemic. In this video by YouTube Channel Redacted, the hosts explain that Bill Gates and the WHO have run a “tabletop” simulation in Belgium about the next plandemic, meaning SEERS. Hopefully YouTube doesn’t remove that video, but especially on that note, watch it before it’s censored!

In Ecuador, communities protecting a ‘terrestrial coral reef’ face a mining giant: Imagine a jungle. Now cool it down, add mist and waterfalls and drape everything in moss and orchids. This ecosystem, which runs through Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, holds nearly one-sixth of all plant species on Earth and more bird species than all of North America. less than 15% of Ecuador’s original cloud forests and only 4% of all forests in northwestern Ecuador remain.

Heartland study finds spices second only to paint for the lead poisoning of children: Lead-contaminated spices purchased in foreign countries, brought to the United States, then used in the preparation of food. Over the past weekend, a heartland newspaper shared with its readers the stunning conclusion of its local health department. What was disclosed was that contaminated spices were determined to be the second largest cause of lead poisoning in children in 2021 in Nebraska’s most populous county. Families traveling abroad should be aware of the potential health risks associated with the purchase and use of spices that have not been tested for purity.

Epstein’s sex trafficking was aided by JPMorgan, a U.S. Virgin Islands lawsuit says: “These decisions were advocated and approved at the senior levels of JP Morgan,” it said. The bank allegedly “facilitated and concealed wire and cash transactions that raised suspicion of, and were in fact part of, a criminal enterprise whose currency was the sexual servitude of dozens of women and girls,” according to the complaint. A lawsuit says the bank helped conceal the exploitation of women and girls by the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

All The Things Kevin McCarthy Gave Away To Become Speaker: In the new House, hard-line GOPers will dominate on the powerful Rules Committee and any lawmaker can try to kick him out of his job. One of his top concessions is allowing any member of Congress to call for kicking him out as speaker. A lawmaker simply has to declare the speaker’s office vacant, forcing a no-confidence vote that could cost McCarthy his job, and a single McCarthy-hater like Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) could make a spectacle of himself in the process.

Biden’s priceless legal and political gift to Trump: If Trump’s mishandling of SCI materials represented a threat to national security, well, so did Biden’s. Who might have seen the documents over the 2,112 days between the end of Biden’s tenure as vice president and Biden becoming president? Biden chose to accrue the political benefits of silence over the national interest of presidential probity. This decision will significantly weaken the perceived apolitical credibility of any future decision by the Justice Department to charge Trump.

Inventor of the world wide web wants us to reclaim our data from tech giants: The internet has come a long way since Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web in 1989. Now, in an era of growing concern over privacy, he believes it’s time for us to reclaim our personal data. “You’ll hear people talk about Web 3 and decentralization as being very similar in ideas and goals,” he says. “Owning your own data and really controlling your own commerce infrastructure is something that Web 3 will enable. It will be ultimately really transformational for users.”
