From the beginning, the Covid “vaccines” have felt like a massive timeshare scam.

Initially, consider the source. Vaxxmania arises from, and is zealously sponsored by, the same “experts” who masterminded the epic Covid overreaction: Fauci, Walensky, the Democrat governors, and the media.  Like a timeshare sales pitch, the folly of lockdowns, closures, masking and mass testing should have been obvious from Day 1.

Viruses are ubiquitous, and respiratory infections are an unavoidable part of community life. Fortunately, such infections tend to be self-limiting. Further, Italian data from March, 2020 should have told everyone that healthy, non-old people were not at serious risk.

Nonetheless, as with timeshares, many Americans bought the scam. Nineteen months of mass psychosis later, many vaxxers are still fearful, wearing masks—even outside—and demanding universal “vaccination.”  Why?

Breitbart News this morning 11/03

What an absolutely huge win this was for us yesterday — not just the election in Virginia, which was huge in itself —but the tightness of the race in New Jersey. And then there are other important referendums and races around the country all pointing in the same direction.

This is great news going forward. It shows us in a sense the formula for beating the Democrats and it's just such a huge relief.

I woke up this morning, I was looking in the mirror, and I thought, "I look a year younger." It wasn't just jubilation over the outcome, it's also just the sense that we've been suffering a little bit of PTSD, our side, going back to the 2020 election.

For very good reason, the media and Democrats feel threatened and terrified by the “Let’s go, Brandon!” chant, which is why we must never stop saying it.

Like the persecuted Christians of old who identified themselves to one another by drawing a fish in the dirt, “Let’s go, Brandon!” is shorthand for I’m with you. You are not alone. We are in this together. Oh, and eff Joe Biden.

It’s good, clean, rebellious fun – and here’s why it’s so terrifying to the Joyless Left.

[Note by Jack Wheeler:  I have taken quercetin daily for many years, for overall health and life-extension purposes.  That research is emerging of its being protective against the Chicom virus, indeed all viruses as reported here by Dr. Joondeph, should be of interest to us all – although I’ll now have to double my dose to around 1 gram a day (500mg 2xday), the therapeutic dose of the research.  Note that Amazon sells some two dozen quercetin formulas, at a cost of $20-$30 or so for 2 months supply.]

Quercetin has been in the news lately, particularly as one of many potential therapeutics that might have some benefit in the prevention or treatment of COVID infection. Is there anything to this?

Could quercetin be of benefit against COVID, or for that matter, the common cold or the flu? As are always told to “follow the science”, what does science say? Let’s take a look.

They’re all around us, especially those of us who live in relatively prosperous metropolitan neighborhoods in the US or Western Europe. Despite being—at least in material terms—among the most fortunate people who have ever walked the earth, they are very scared.

And they want you to be very frightened too.

Indeed, many of them see your refusal to be as frightened as they are about life’s inevitable risks as a grave problem which entitles them and their often powerful and influential fellow travelers to recur to all manner of authoritarian practices to ensure that you adhere to their increasingly neurotic view of reality.

Why?

Despite the COVID-19 vaccines having been promoted as safe and effective by legacy media, many health care workers are refusing to take them, and those who openly speak out about their concerns get censored by Big Tech companies or kicked off their platforms.

Some nurses and doctors are refusing vaccine mandates even if their refusal will cost them their jobs.  I recently interviewed a number of them to learn why.  I believe they are representative of many thousands of health care professionals all over America who refuse to bow down to vax mandates.  This is what they told me in their own words.

Professor Alexander Lukin’s book “China and Russia: The New Rapprochement” discussed the promise of Sino-Russian cooperation.  That was in 2018.

In contrast, Lukin now frankly admits that “any possible changes in U.S. policy will probably prove less of a deterrent to further Russian-Chinese rapprochement than will Russian concerns over China’s growing assertiveness.” He argues that “the peak of Russian-Chinese rapprochement has probably passed.”

There’s an old saying that best friends can make the worst enemies.  Is that happening between Russia and China?

The whole Progressive, Leftist enterprise can be characterized as the astonishing practice of trying to improve things by making them worse. It has always been so.

Today, Lenin’s heirs insistently promote equity and anti-racism, even as the results of their policies look like chaos. Border control is non-existent, vagrancy is explained away, crimes have been de-criminalized, and everyone must be injected with substances that are not entirely safe or effective. But rejoice brothers and sisters in the struggle, for we’re eradicating inequalities and disparities.

How is it, though, that despite the wretched examples of Soviet Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, and other experiments in political and social ruin, up to and including the Biden administration, we can’t shake this ever-failing philosophy?

Don’t want this to happen to your state’s schools?  Here’s a suggestion or two to prevent that.

Until quite recently, American parents thought of public schools as democratically accountable local institutions. But the pandemic revealed how much of K-12 education is controlled by teachers’ unions, unelected bureaucrats, and non-governmental organizations.

This reality, considered alongside the apparent collusion between the Biden White House and the National School Boards Association to create a pretext for a federal law enforcement intervention to chill parental opposition to critical race theory (CRT), will raise the specter in many parents’ minds of a public education “deep state.”  This has to be stopped.

[As a prelude to his HFR tomorrow, Yasuhiko wrote this introductory note for your consideration ---JW]

A war is being waged between the destructive forces of Tyranny and the creative forces of Liberty.

This war is as much political as psychological. A tyrannical program has been enrooted and infixed into the governance and the constitution of human consciousness, depriving it of its innate longing for liberty, for freedom, and for evolution.

For millennia, the powerful forces of tyranny have triumphed over the feeble forces of liberty, politically and psychologically. An entire new way must be created in the human mind and consciousness that will bring about a victory of liberty over tyranny.

If Beijing wanted it could simply take control over a majority of global mining rigs and launch a "51% attack", in the process nuking the blockchain and effectively destroying the world's greatest monetary experiment overnight.

However, in the span of just a few short months, back in May, China’s State Council - which was focused on marketing its disastrous digital yuan and hoped to eliminate all competition - expelled its entire domestic bitcoin mining industry.  It was a move that many have said will be remembered as the "single greatest geopolitical mistake of the 21st century."

Especially as it has been to the enormous benefit of America.

Richard “Rachel” Levine

Yes, the photos above are of the same person.  Richard was married with two children until he decided at age 52 to pretend he was a woman named Rachel.  He is now 62.

Not only did Joe Biden appoint Richard, a man who claims he’s a woman, and whose poor public health decisions led to thousands of unnecessary COVID deaths, as assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Biden has now made that man a four-star admiral and proclaimed we should all cheer at his administration “making history” for doing so.

I repeat, this is not a joke.  Here is the CBS News headline this morning (10/20):

Dr. Rachel Levine Makes History As The Nation's First Openly Transgender Four-Star Admiral

There is a massive propaganda push against those choosing not to vaccinate against COVID-19 with the experimental mRNA vaccines. Mainstream media, the big tech corporations, and our government have combined efforts to reward compliance and to shame and marginalize non-compliance.

Never has there been such an effort to cajole, manipulate through fear, and penalize people to take an experimental medical treatment.

However, as time has passed with this pandemic and more data accumulates about the virus and the vaccine, the unvaccinated are looking smarter and smarter with each passing week.  This is why from a medical perspective.

The highest echelon of the U.S. military has become dysfunctional.

Somehow a gradual drift in the agendas of our military leadership has resulted in too many various emphases on domestic cultural, social, and political issues. And naturally, as a result, there is less attention given to winning wars and leveraging such victories to our nation’s strategic advantage.

The consequences of these failures are downright scary for a world superpower upon which millions at home and billions worldwide depend.  There are too many concurrent Pentagon crises. Any one of them would be dangerous to our national security. Together they imperil our very freedoms and security.  Here they are.

Coal imports as far as the eye can see

Last year, President Xi Jinping announced that Communist China was going to go carbon neutral by 2060. Like every Communist 5-year-plan, it began with lies and ended in disaster.

The 14th Renewable Energy Development Five Year Plan would have China dominate the green energy industry and increase its share of non-fossil fuel energy from 15% to 20%.

That was last year. This year, China is importing American coal to keep the lights on in its cities.

China's desperate buying spree has sent the price of lignite coal, the dirtiest coal, up from $20 to $120. While Democrats are trying to destroy coal in America, our shipments of coal have increased 30 times making China our second biggest coal market.

And we have the “green energy” of the reds to thank for it.

[In her just-published book, “Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections,” Mollie Hemingway reveals how social-media companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook responded to the 2016 election of Donald Trump to go from free-speech advocates to woke cancel-culture censors. Here is a key excerpt:]

Donald Trump’s 2016 victory was a shock to much of the country, but Silicon Valley took it especially hard. The progressive bastion of San Francisco had turned tech companies from libertarian idealists into liberal crusaders. The industry as a whole felt complicit in Donald Trump’s rise and was intent on doing everything in its power to suppress his voice and those of his supporters.

From the beginning, the tech overlords were plotting how to strike back. Here’s how they did.

The remarkable similarities between a recently leaked 2018 proposal from EcoHealth Alliance head Peter Daszak and the defining characteristics of COVID-19 raise new questions regarding the origins of the pandemic.

The proposal,  entitled Project Defuse: Defusing the Threat of Bat-Borne Coronaviruses, dated March 27, 2018, sets out the organization’s plan to create entirely new coronaviruses through the synthetic combination of preexisting virus backbones.

It describes how those viruses were going to be made more virulent in humans by the insertion of a furin cleavage site, a feature that distinguishes COVID-19 from all other SARS-related coronaviruses. This, in 2018…..

Biden’s America

[Note by Jack Wheeler:  Last Friday’s HFR explained that “China Zhou’s vax mandate does not exist – there is no OSHA regulation published in the Federal Register nor is there any published Presidential Executive Order….it is all intimidation and no legality.” Yesterday (10/12), the White House announced Biden will override stare laws against his vax mandate because “federal law overrides state law.”  But there is no such federal law.  This brilliant analysis below by the Federalist Foundation is a must-read.]

Yes, we’ve heard all about Joe Biden’s alleged vaccine mandate for private companies employing 100 or more people. It was all over the news even before he announced it on September 9. His announcement has jeopardized the employment of millions of Americans and increased worker shortages in critical domains such as health care.

There’s only one problem. It’s all a mirage. Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate doesn’t exist — at least, not yet. So far, all we have is his press conference and other such made-for-media huff-puffing.  Here’s what’s really going on.

Winslow Homer: Huntsman with Dogs, 1891

On Tuesday (10/05), I gave a lecture for students at Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts in a course I believe is unique in the nation. It wasn’t so much an art history lecture as an American history lecture, using art—or rather a lecture about what Americans believed about themselves, for better and for worse, as manifest in works of art.

I’d like to discuss two of them here—two of them that are now inconceivable, not just because the practical necessities they show are no longer in play, but because the culture they describe, culture as a spiritual reality, embodying the high aspirations of the human soul, is gone. What has taken its place is another matter.

The two paintings are not sentimental, as almost all of our politics is now. By that I mean that our politics is less about thought or pragmatic planning than about feeling, and less about genuine universal human feeling than about its self-swindling substitute, sentimentality, a ginned-up mimic of feeling; and the louder you cry the sentiment up, the less genuine and the more shallow or delusive it is likely to be. 

Even as President Biden shrugged his shoulders over progressives’ harassment and intimidation of a sitting United States senator of his own party — a crime under Arizona law — Biden’s Justice Department was running roughshod over the First Amendment, threatening to investigate and prosecute parents for protesting against school boards and teachers who insist on indoctrinating children with the cultural Marxism beloved by Democrats.

On Monday (10/04), Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum in which he wailed about the “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”

Garland knows this is dangerous nonsense. I personally know that he knows it.

His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s attorney general has just announced that the FBI will be engaged to terrorize parents who oppose left-wing school board policies.

All around the country, parents have been speaking out and protesting against several absurd and destructive school board policies that have been put in place to damage, sexualize, and indoctrinate innocent children.

Tragically, too many of the government-run schools in this country have become breeding grounds for mentally ill educators desperate to force their warped political agendas and neuroses on our children.

And now that parents have had enough, Fascist Joe is now unleashing his FBI Brownshirts on parents who have the audacity to want a say in how their child is educated.

                                                                                 Edith Wilson                                Edith Wilson Wannabe

Many Biden watchers have long observed Jill Biden’s grasping obsession with becoming the First Lady.  Throughout the campaign as Joe Biden’s failing mental abilities became more and more obvious, did she love him enough to end it?  Oh no, not Jill.  She continued on with her elder abuse.

One explanation may be her long fascination with Edith Wilson – exemplified by dedicating her 2019 autobiography Where the Light Enters to: “The inspiring, groundbreaking First Lady Edith Wilson.”

She admired and apparently coveted the role that Mrs. Wilson filled after President Woodrow had a stroke in October 1919.  Edith Wilson hid the seriousness of her husband’s condition and took over the job of running the country until the end of his term in March 1921.  Now it’s Jill’s turn.

Are you starting to wonder what, if anything, will be left standing of the life we once called “modern” when Christmas 2021 rolls around? Shopping? Motoring? Working? Mingling? Eating? Sleeping? Waking…? Suddenly, everything is coming apart.

The supply lines are wobbling and many will go down. No stuff, no parts, before long no food. Energy supplies are shaky everywhere. China’s electric grid is going dark from insufficient coal. Russia lacks the surplus NatGas to keep Western Europe warm. Global shortages drive up US oil and gas prices while people lose jobs and incomes over vaccine mandates — meaning families will freeze as the daylight dwindles.

“Joe Biden’s” dark winter is coming on fast.

Just as we saw with hydroxychloroquine last summer, government alphabet agencies, the medical industrial complex, and their willing accomplices in the media have recently made it clear that there is yet another safe, effective treatment for COVID-19 they wish to torpedo.

It’s the latest naughty word which will get you censored on social media and mocked and belittled by late-night “comedians”: Ivermectin.

The U.S. government, the media, and Big Pharma are all playing important roles in the deadly dystopian disinformation campaign against the drug.  Those engaged in this campaign are guilty of crimes against humanity.

Arguably the most prestigious newspaper in the English-speaking world is The Times of London.  As you can imagine, it is far from rabidly conservative.  So it should be a clarion call for the world that this headline story, written by prominent Times columnist Rod Liddle, appeared in last Sunday’s (9/26) Times:

So Trump Was Right: The Election Was Rigged. And Our Next One Will Be Too
