No wonder gas pumps across America are blooming with Biden stickers like this one:

Practically overnight, America went from oil independence and being a net oil importer, to suffering shortages and, as noted, rising prices. When asked about the problem, Biden risibly blamed OPEC and Russia. Meanwhile, Jennifer Granholm, the energy secretary, simply cackled maniacally and claimed the administration was helpless.

Biden is now under pressure to tap the SPR to relieve some of the pressure on fuel prices. (Again, remember that Biden birthed this problem by squashing American fuel production, thereby creating the shortage. There’s also the little matter of his administration working with Congress to print money like rolls of toilet paper—except that toilet paper is more useful than inflationary dollars.) Even Chuckie Schumer wants to lower prices by chipping away at our SPR emergency supply, despite our having vast, untapped resources beneath American land.

It turns out, though, that Biden is already tapping into the SPR; he’s just not doing it to help Americans. A report in investment circles is finally trickling down into the mainstream news: Biden is selling massive amounts of SPR oil…to Asia!

According to Bloomberg/Quint:

About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve — a monthly record — was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler.

All three supertankers went to Asia.

“Given the ongoing pace of the current SPR release — 12 million barrels in the last two months and the biggest weekly release so far last week at 3.1 million barrels — it’s fair to assume more SPR barrels are going to leave U.S. shores in the weeks ahead,” said Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler.

As far as I can tell, the administration has not explained why, with Americans struggling to keep up with rising fuel prices, it’s shipping our SPR to Asia. During the virtual meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping, the two men allegedly discussed releasing oil from both countries’ petroleum reserves but made no mention of the sales to Asia that already took place.

It’s becoming clearer daily that there is a clown in the White House, but it’s not a cute, loving clown like Bozo (although I always found him kind of creepy). Instead, we’re being led by the political equivalent of the Joker from the D.C. Comics, a mad man who wants to burn it all down.

Introduction

Cyber-attacks are getting more frequent, sophisticated, and costly. In the last three years, ransomware has cost businesses over $5 billion in damages. With these types of numbers, it’s clear that cyber resilience is a critical component of your IT strategy. Read on for an overview of what cybersecurity means for you and how integrating this into your IT strategy can help mitigate risk and improve efficiency.

What is “Cyber Resilience”?

Cyber resilience is the ability of an IT system to meet service level agreements, even when under attack. Cyber resilient organizations act quickly and decisively in the face of cyberattacks by using threat intelligence to minimize any downtime or damage that results from a breach.

What is the difference between cybersecurity and cyber resilience?

Cybersecurity refers to the security measures your business takes to protect itself from cyberattacks. These measures can include everything from investing in new hardware and software tools to help detect attacks to ensuring you have a good backup plan should any vulnerabilities be exploited in your system.

Cyber resilience is how you respond after an attack has already taken place. It means preparing your company for anything, especially in the case of an attack. This includes having an incident response plan ready and establishing ways your company can continue to operate without interrupting its normal business processes.

Why does cyber resilience matter?

Apart from the frequency, cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. With this increase, your IT system has to be able to withstand or recover quickly from these attacks for you to maintain normal business operations. If you aren’t proactive about cyber resilience, your IT systems will suffer reduced customer satisfaction due to downtime and a lack of security.

What are the components of a cyber resilience framework?

A cyber resilience framework is simple to understand, but it can be time-consuming to put into practice:

• First, you need a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in your IT department and throughout your company as a whole. This includes having an incident response plan that specifies what roles and responsibilities different departments have in a cyber-attack.

• Communication is key here as it will help you reduce confusion during the response process and ensure people feel informed and prepared.

• Your IT staff should constantly monitor your system’s health to detect any warning signs that may indicate an attack, such as changes in network traffic or high CPU/memory usage.

• Know what your company’s assets are in the case you need to file an insurance claim if any critical systems were compromised in a cyberattack. This way, you’re certain that your policy will cover all applicable damages. This also ensures that your insurance coverage is up to date with current cybercrime trends.

• Use threat intelligence to quickly detect and respond to any cyber-attack your business may be facing. You can also use this information for future prevention efforts, especially if you discover certain types of attacks your company is more vulnerable to.

• Ensure you have the proper backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans in place. You can take the help of an established and reliable IT solutions provider for this purpose.

• Have an incident response plan ready if you find yourself the victim of a cyberattack. This plan should include the roles and responsibilities of all involved parties and how they’ll coordinate to minimize any damage from the attack.

How can you improve your cyber resilience?

To improve your company’s cyber resilience, everyone in your organization must be aware of the vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can take advantage of. This includes employees, executives, and even your customers. If you build a culture of awareness throughout your business, then this will help your IT staff have a better chance at minimizing any damage from an attack.

Here are the most effective ways to enhance your cyber resilience and prepare for any kind of cyber breach:

• Establishing an IT steering committee, incident management team, or crisis communication group can help improve your company’s communication efforts during the response process.

• Developing IT solutions can also be helpful, such as an IT services management program. This helps improve the responsiveness of your IT department and reduces downtime after a cyberattack.

• Investment in security awareness tools for employees is also important, so they know how to recognize phishing attempts, avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments, use strong passwords, etc. An IT solutions provider can arrange the same for your organization.

• You can also improve your cyber resilience by doing regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments with the help of a qualified external IT services provider or partner. This is to ensure your systems are secure, safe, and not susceptible to any known vulnerabilities that cybercriminals may be taking advantage of.

Wrapping Up

Understanding what cyber resilience is all about, how it can be improved in your organization, and how you can respond to an attack should help you feel more confident and prepared. Implementing the above-mentioned tips will help you dramatically improve your cyber resilience, which will reduce the risk of a cyberattack and increase your chances of getting through one without any damage.

Further, the FDA decreed that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine should remain unlicensed and under the EUA but can be used interchangeably with the newly licensed Comirnaty vaccine.  More importantly, the FDA states that the licensed Comirnaty vaccine and the existing Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine are “legally distinct” but proclaims that their differences do not “impact safety or effectiveness.” [emphases added]

Per the Children’s Health Defense Fund:

There is a huge real-world difference between products approved under EUA compared with those the FDA has fully licensed.

EUA products are experimental under U.S. law.  Both the Nuremburg Code and federal regulations provide that no one can force a human being to participate in this experiment.  Under 21 U.S. Code Sec.360bbb-3(e)(1)(A), “authorization for medical products for use in emergencies,” it is unlawful to deny someone a job or an education because they refuse to be an experimental subject.  Instead, potential recipients have an absolute right to refuse EUA vaccines.

U.S. laws, however, permit employers and schools to require students and workers to take licensed vaccines.

EUA-approved Covid vaccines have an extraordinary liability shield under the 2005 Public Readiness and Preparedness Act.  Vaccine manufacturers, distributors and government planners are immune from liability.  The only way an injured party can sue is if he or she can prove willful misconduct, and if the U.S. government has also brought an enforcement action against the party for willful misconduct.  No such lawsuit has ever succeeded.

At least for now, the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine has no such liability shield.  A vial of the branded product that says “Comirnaty” on the label is subject to the same product liability laws as any another product.  People injured by the vaccine could potentially sue for damages.  Based on what has been reported over the past six months regarding Covid vaccine side effects, the potential jury awards could be astronomical.

Thus, it is highly unlikely that Pfizer will allow any Americans to take the Comirnaty labeled vaccine until it can coerce Congress or the Biden Administration to somehow arrange immunity for the product.

Meanwhile, Pfizer has been given the greenlight by the FDA to continue administering the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine under the EUA.  And given the fact that they have a huge inventory on hand, they will continue to do so in any vaccine mandates.

The obvious and inevitable question is: did the FDA cynically pull a bait-and-switch on the American people by announcing permanent approval of a Pfizer Covid vaccine, which everyone would assume to be for the vaccine currently in universal use, in order to abet the Biden Administration in imposing illegal vaccine mandates?

Or, more cynically, did the FDA also conspire with Pfizer to allow them to unload their current massive inventory of a vaccine that science and the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)  have exposed as unreasonably dangerous as physicians, families and injured vaccine recipients have reported more than 600,000 vaccine injuries.  And which has also been rendered obsolete by the Delta variant, requiring a “booster” shot which has yet to be tested or approved by the FDA.

Since the beginning of the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic, the entirety of the federal medical bureaucracy has been woefully inconsistent in their pronouncements, inevitably wrong in their prescribed actions, subservient to political pressure from Democrat party politicians and far too cozy with pharmaceutical companies as they focused solely on vaccines and not therapeutics and prophylactics.

But on the surface, these dubious actions by the FDA go far beyond incompetence.  The time has come for some genuine transparency and honesty from the FDA on how this Pfizer vaccine approval came about and why in such an inordinately short period of time for a new and experimental vaccine with no long-term trials.  This agency’s credibility is at stake.

Meanwhile, Americans should decide for themselves about being vaccinated.  But if someone is subject to a vaccine mandate, they should request to see if the vaccine they are about to receive is labeled the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine as that is the only one licensed.  If any other, that person has the legal right to refuse

Nashville native Forrest Walker Conner is currently navigating his way through his undergraduate degree at the University of the South, Sewanee. His experiences leading up until now have shaped his college career. And further, his college career is shaping his current and future experiences, including a paid internship on Capitol Hill that he is fulfilling as he enters his junior year.

Forrest Walker Conner’s path to college

Forrest Walker Conner is working towards a career as a businessman, but he wasn’t always tuned into this specific career goal.

His upbringing involved an education at the Montgomery Bell Academy (a Nashville preparatory boy’s day school). During that time, he had the chance to see how other parts of the world lived via study abroad opportunities and exchange experiences. He first got to see how other people lived when he visited Lithuania in the 8th grade, learning about life in the Baltic countries during World War II.

He notes that this experience was “life-changing,” as they taught him about concepts of freedom and sacrifice. Namely, he learned that these experiences don’t come so easily to everyone. And following this experience, he got to meet new people and form new relationships with exchange students that his family hosted from Germany and Lithuania.

Further, getting to take part in one more study abroad journey to Australia before he entered college, Conner became specifically interested in unique experiences around the world. The way these countries touched his own life inspired a desire to learn more about close-knit relationships. And it’s these very relationships that he now finds himself forming in Sewanee.

Conner’s college experience

And now that he has settled into the gorgeous, rural Tennessee campus and started paving his own way, Conner is making big moves towards that businessman’s life. Aside from the rich experiences he gets to take part in as an undergrad, Forrest Walker Conner is aware of the fact that he needs to make his time count at Sewanee.

There are many paths to choose from at today’s American undergraduate schools (38 currently offered at Sewanee). However, Forrest Walker Conner is pretty confident in his choice to major in economics with a minor in business.

His combination of these studies is propelling him towards a career in business, as he supplements his time taking part in the Fund for American Studies public policy and economics program in Washington, D.C.

It’s this integration of public policy study that really interests Conner, as he believes that this field of study is essential in business studies.

The importance of choosing a college major

Importantly, Forrest Conner has found in his recent time at college that choosing a major proves to be an integral choice for his future. Over the past few years, he notes that he has felt some added pressure in making this particular decision.

As uncertain as the future can be, he notes that his choice in an economics major/business minor right now will shape what is to come on his horizons.

While it can be difficult to choose a college major in the short time you are exploring your degree options, this decision is worth putting some thought into. The initial investment of a college degree can be costly (upwards of tens of thousands of dollars), so you want to make sure your choices have some meaning.

The right college major can put you onto a path towards the graduate degree you need or even a relevant entry-level job that won’t hire non-degree candidates.

How Forrest Walker Conner’s choices are leading him towards his goals

Conner has implemented some direction into his college career and the years that follow. And now, he is nearing his goal of joining the business world.

He is keen on his current real-world learning experiences in D.C. There, he gets to learn about the ways that government policies affect different business environments.

Forrest Walker Conner’s ideas on success and his younger self

While Forrest Walker finds himself making the most of his opportunities now, he still wishes he could say a few things to his younger self. With a desire to be a role model to his past self, a “big brother,” so to speak, he would want his younger self to know that you can be brave and confident in the face of life’s challenges.

Forrest Walker Conner is at a place in life where he can enjoy new opportunities and relationships with mentors and friends. But in order to get to this place, he had to face scary situations until they began to feel less scary over time, little by little.

It’s wise advice for all of us navigating the harsh realities of life after secondary school, and even so for those entering the real world after college.

“I hope Special Olympics will inspire others with developmental disabilities to have confidence in themselves. Often, these people feel marginalized and unworthy and there is no longer a need for us to hide in the shadows.” – Billy Seide

Raising awareness about the potential of people with intellectual disabilities has been a primary focus of the Special Olympics.

Billy Seide has been participating in the Special Olympics since 1999. In 2007, he went to Shanghai in China for the Special Olympics world summer games in softball, and his team earned 3rd place. In 2016, he switched to The Sound Shore Stars because it was closer to where he lived.  Currently he helps out and participates in floor hockey, basketball, swimming, unified bowling, track and field, and the pentathlon.

Professor William P. Alford is Lead Director and Chair of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Special Olympics International, which serves individuals with intellectual disabilities in more than 170 jurisdictions around the world. In 2004, Alford helped found the Harvard Law School Project on Disability (HPOD). He describes the organization’s goals, noting they are “to be of assistance as the UN drafted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” and to be “a resource about disability law and policy both in nations that have ratified the Convention and beyond.”

The Global Search for Education welcomed Professor William Alford and Billy Seide to talk about the power of sports to disrupt disability.

“The skills and competencies that I have acquired with Special Olympics help prepare me to meet with other athletes whom I wouldn’t otherwise get to know. With the coach’s guidance, I learn how to speak in front of others.” – Billy Seide

Billy, what has being part of the Special Olympics meant to you?

The skills and competencies that I have acquired with Special Olympics help prepare me to meet with other athletes whom I wouldn’t otherwise get to know. With the coach’s guidance, I learn how to speak in front of others. All of this helps me to gain pride and confidence along with a belief that I actually have something to offer to others.

What would you call your most significant achievement so far?

My most significant achievement as a special olympic athlete is being a member of “The Athletes Congress”. This is an important role.  Here I meet with other individuals across New York state and we discuss how to be leaders within this special community.

Prof Alford, please share your best examples of where HPOD Disability strategies have promoted the inclusion of persons with disabilities in classrooms and in the work place, both internationally and at home in the U.S. What are you focused on next?

To date, we have worked extensively in more than a dozen nations while advising in more than 30 others of the 177 nations that have ratified the Convention. The United States, has not ratified – which is unfortunate, since the Convention is modelled in important part after our own Americans with Disabilities Act, would not impose unwanted obligations on us, and already is helping improve the situation for Americans with disabilities working or travelling abroad, not to mention hundreds of millions of other nationals.

The work our Harvard Law School Project on Disability does varies enormously from setting to setting, as we think it critical that our approach in any country be shaped by history and context, and take serious account of the views of the local partners, even as we draw upon comparative law in providing a range of approaches.  As a consequence, in addition to our own scholarly research, we have advised on the drafting of education, employment, health, anti-discrimination law and more; assisted in the formulation of state policy; collaborated on impact litigation; helped develop texts and teaching materials introducing disability law into university curricula; taught persons with disabilities how to advocate for themselves with educators and officials; formed family support groups; trained personnel in disabled persons organizations; and produced an array of materials– including simplified introductions to the CRPD for persons with intellectual disabilities in a half dozen major languages;  print and internet profiles of both the accomplishments of persons with disabilities as well as the on-going challenges they face; and a Chinese language manual, using examples from both domestic and foreign companies, illustrating advantages of employing persons with disabilities.  Our efforts encompass all types of disability.

We are delighted that many of our students at Harvard have chosen to join us in this work and also that we have been able to bring to the school many individuals with disabilities who have generously shared with our students their life experience.

“I would hope that we can expand our efforts to show the world the courage, the ingenuity, the determination, the humor, the comradeship, the musical gifts, and much more that our athletes manifest.” – William P. Alford

The Special Olympics has sent a powerful message of hope to the world about persons with disabilities.  What do you believe should be the next important goals for this program?

Special Olympics is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. It was founded in the summer of 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the President’s sister, out of the conviction that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and that sports can provide a powerful engine for promoting that end, while also having many ancillary benefits. The movement, as we like to call it, has grown enormously since then, owing to the inspired leadership of Dr. Timothy Shriver, an extraordinary team of dedicated professionals, thousands of volunteers generous with their time and financial assistance, and, most importantly, the passionate engagement of more than 6,000,000 athletes around the world including more than 5,000,000 of whom are persons with an intellectual or developmental disability.

Today, Special Olympics has programs in over 170 nations across the world. Literally, every day there are hundreds of sporting events occurring globally under its auspices. But alongside our sports programming, Special Olympics also now offers health programs, promotes research regarding intellectual disability, fosters unified school programs that bring together persons with and without an intellectual disability to study and play together, and works assiduously to end stigma, to educate the world about the talents of our athletes, and to foster genuine inclusion for the good of all of us.

As the Lead Director of the Special Olympics international board (though I am speaking now in my personal capacity only, rather than for the organization),  I would love to see a couple of things.  First, I would hope that we can expand our efforts to show the world the courage, the ingenuity, the determination, the humor, the comradeship, the musical gifts, and much more that our athletes manifest.  That demonstrates what our athletes can do (rather than what they can’t do) and also how they contribute valuably to the world.  Second, I would love for us to be even more inclusive – to share our programs further with individuals from disadvantaged communities.  And third, to expand our efforts in developing nations.

Billy, Looking ahead to the future – what do you predict or hope the Special Olympics will do for other kids or adults with disabilities?

I hope Special Olympics will inspire others with developmental disabilities to have confidence in themselves. Often, these people feel marginalized and unworthy and there is no longer a need for us to hide in the shadows. We definitely have something to contribute. The next way Special Olympics can innovate this important work is by educating the public. Generally, they are misinformed and fearful of these athletes, as though a developmental disability is easily transmitted to others, and something to be pitied. These beliefs are based solely on ignorance.

Dr. Robert Malone is no longer recognized by Wikipedia as being the creator of the technology used in some COVID-19 vaccines.

Then, appearing on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight some days later, Dr. Malone issued further warnings about the vaccines, the content of which is contrary to the mainstream media’s promotion of the injections. The mRNA inventor declared that there was still insufficient data for anyone to make an informed decision about receiving the vaccines.

Malone also warned against the injections being given to young people: “I have a bias that the benefits probably don’t outweigh the risks in that cohort. But, unfortunately, the risk-benefit analysis is not being done.”

Carlson described Malone as being perhaps “the single most qualified person on planet earth to discuss this subject” given his status as the inventor of the technology behind the injections now being rolled out, and in some cases mandated, to people across the globe.

However, Malone was not targeted merely by YouTube. Just days after the Dark Horse Podcast was released, the Wikipedia entry for “RNA vaccine” was changed, removing him and his role from the article, and thus potentially removing the weight that his warnings about the technology might convey.

An archived version of the site from June 14, 2021, clearly lists Malone as the creator and initial researcher into the technology.

Just two days later, June 16, the site was altered to remove any mention of Dr. Malone in the text of the entry. Instead of detailing his exploits, the entry now states that mRNA technology was discovered by “researchers at the Salk Institute, the University of California, San Diego, and Vical.”

The site was to undergo yet another change, and at the time of writing (July 5), the entry had undergone another substantial alteration, this time mentioning Jon Wolff, a collaborator of Malone’s in 1990, and giving him chief credit for the mRNA research experiments.

Furthermore, the current Wikipedia entry now lists Katalin Karikó as “a scientist behind a key discovery in the development of mRNA vaccines.” As noted by commentators on YouTube, Karikó is, unlike Dr. Malone, a public proponent of the experimental vaccines, commenting to The Guardian in November 2020 on the mRNA vaccine: “I never doubted it would work.”

The 66-year-old biochemist is currently the senior vice president at BioNTech RNA Pharmaceuticals, having been in the position since 2013, and is the head of RNA protein replacement therapies. BioNTech is partnered with Pfizer in developing, producing and distributing the hastily developed, experimental COVID-19 injection.

A marked difference in tone toward the COVID-19 injections can be noticed between Dr. Malone and Karikó. While Malone warned that no one had sufficient information to be able to make an informed decision about taking the vaccine, Karikó hailed mRNA as a potential “a universal platform” for future drugs.

Meanwhile, the number of adverse reactions and deaths occurring after the COVID-19 injections continues to mount. The Defender reported that the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now numbers 411,931 total adverse events after the COVID-19 injection, including 6,985 deaths and 34,065 serious injury reports.

Of that number, VAERS noted that there are 186,196 adverse events for the Pfizer/BioNTech injection, with 2,403 deaths and 16,139 serious events.

Wikipedia has faced criticism for being “a provider of inaccuracy and bias,” according to Joseph Farah, CEO and editor-in-chief of WorldNetDaily (WND). Farah noted that his own bio page was full of inaccuracies, libels, out-of-date information, and puerile insults.

So much has the website become a proponent of left-wing “propaganda” that Wikipedia’s co-founder Larry Sanger is attempting to launch an alternative. He stated that the site “completely ignores any conservative, libertarian, or critical treatment of the subject.”

While the platform did not begin with a left-leaning bias, Sanger explained that a decade ago “as liberals, or leftists made their march through the institutions, Wikipedia became one of those influential institutions. They started their march and basically took it over.”

In October 2020, Wikipedia also banned editors from displaying “user boxes” that would demonstrate opposition to same-sex “marriage” and support for traditional marriage. User boxes supporting traditional marriage were deemed to be “inflammatory or divisive” and promoting “bigotry.”

Sending your child for enrichment classes for preschoolers promotes imagination, interest as well as advanced reasoning can advertise healthy kid growth via social, physical, emotional and also cognitive development experiences. Several enrichment schools ensure their trainees obtain an excellent balance of several discovery tasks throughout the day which includes reading and writing, math, music, art, and dramatization techniques to aid with teaching.

Cooperating with mothers and fathers, effective preschool just as improvement programs give a fair, all-regular technique that can help even the most youthful kid transform into an additional balanced, certain person.

Give Them a Head Start for the Future

Studies have shown that the more youthful a kid is revealed to any type of kind of learning, the more they are established for success in the years in advance Notwithstanding scholastic just as friendly benefits, enrolling a young person in improving courses and exercises can raise finding past what can be cultivated at home. Waiting until preschool for these types of improving experiences could imply a missed possibility to boost advancement during the early years when a child’s brain develops so swiftly.

Children find out best through activities that trigger their all-natural curiosity and also special rate of interests. Past learning numbers just as letters, advancement openings that present fresh out of the plastic new abilities just as encounters to a child ordinarily gives a lift in certainty over time life too, assisting them with feeling comfortable to find and endeavor shiny new focuses.

While some enrichment tasks will certainly appeal to a kid’s interests or passions greater than others, an excellent variety of tasks can present healthy and balanced challenges that motivate preschoolers to extend their cognitive and also creative capacities. If a kid shows very early indications of sophisticated intelligence, enrichment courses can give them the included academic stimulation they might need to stand out.

Learn Soft Skills

Aside from academic skills, enrichment classes can also help to develop soft skills that your child may not be able to learn in school.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness activities for kids can help them take care of emotional distress as well as scholastic pressure now and in the future. This has significant benefit in helping your child cope with stress and pressure as they grow up.

Enrichment classes develop mindfulness habits through problem resolution. When a youngster is sharing anger, she or he is generally feeling anxiety or shame. During enrichment classes, class size is smaller, and teachers have the time to encourage mindfulness techniques. This can help children connect to a deeper understanding of what they are feeling, helping them to interact with peers better.

Leadership Skills

Enrichment classes provide leadership skill development opportunities. According to a write-up from Penn State University, leadership tasks help to increase children’s self-confidence, enhance public speaking and presentation skills. This can be done through activities that encourage the children to work and interact with one another.

“Dr. McCullough: COVID Vaccines Have Already Killed Up to 50,000 Americans, According to Whistleblowers”

By Debra Heine

https://amgreatness.com/2021/06/15/dr-mccullough-covid-vaccines-have-already-killed-up-to-50000-americans-according-to-whistleblowers/

Excerpts from this article:

In an extraordinary interview last week, Dr. Peter McCullough, an American professor of Medicine and Vice Chief of Internal Medicine at Baylor University, declared that the world has been subjected to a form of bioterrorism, and that the suppression of early treatments for COVID-19—such as hydroxychloroquine— “was tightly linked to the development of a vaccine.”

Dr. McCullough made the explosive comments during a webinar on June 11, with  Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, a German trial lawyer, who believes the pandemic was planned, and is “a crime against humanity.”

McCullough said he believes the bioterrorism has come in two stages—the first wave being the rollout of the coronavirus, and the second, the rollout of the dangerous vaccines, which he said may already be responsible for the deaths of up to 50,000 Americans.

Dr. McCullough practices internal medicine and cardiology, is the editor of Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, senior editor of the American Journal of Cardiology, editor of the textbook Cardiorenal Medicine, and president of the Cardiorenal Society.

“The first wave of the bioterrorism is a respiratory virus that spread across the world, and affected relatively few people—about one percent of many populations—but generated great fear,” McCullough explained during the Oval Media webinar with other doctors. He noted that the virus targeted “mostly the frail and the elderly, but for otherwise well people, it was much like having the common cold.”

Dr. McCullough later elaborated that he has treated many patients with the disease, written papers on it, had the disease himself, and has also seen a death in his own family due to COVID.

The doctor said he believes that fear of the virus was used very quickly to generate policies that would hugely impact human life, such as the draconian lockdowns.

“Every single thing that was done in public health in response to the pandemic made it worse,” he pointed out.

McCullough explained that early on, as a doctor treating COVID patients, he came up with an early treatment regimen for those struck with the virus, which reduced hospital stays by about 85 percent, and said he began publishing papers on what he had learned. The doctor noted that he was “met with resistance at all levels” in terms of actually treating patients and publishing his papers.

“Fortunately I had enough publication strength to publish the only two papers in the entire medical literature that teaches doctors how to treat COVID-19 patients at home to prevent hospitalization,” he said.

“What we have discovered is that the suppression of early treatment was tightly linked to the development of a vaccine, and the entire program—and in a sense, bioterrorism phase one— was rolled out, [and] was really about keeping the population in fear, and in isolation preparing them to accept the vaccine, which appears to be phase two of a bioterrorism operation.”

McCullough explained that both the coronavirus and the vaccines deliver “to the human body, the spike protein, [which is] the gain of function target of this bioterrorism research.”

He acknowledged that he couldn’t come out and say all that on national television because the medical establishment has done such a thorough job of propagandizing the issue.

“What we have learned over time is that we could no longer communicate with government agencies. We actually couldn’t communicate with our propagandized colleagues in major medical centers, all of which appear to be under a spell, almost as if they’ve been hypnotized.”

“Good doctors are doing unthinkable things like injecting biologically active messenger RNA that produces this pathogenic spike protein into pregnant women. I think when these doctors wake up from their trance, they’re going to be shocked to think what they’ve done to people,” he said, echoing what he, and Dr. Harvey Risch, professor at the Yale School of Public Health, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham during an interview last month. 

McCullough told Fuellmich that last summer, he started an early treatment initiative to keep COVID patients out of the hospital, which involved organizing multiple groups of medical doctors in the United States and abroad.  The doctor noted that some governments tried to block these doctors from providing the treatments, but with the help of the Association of Physicians and Surgeons, they were able to put out a home patient guide, and in the U.S., organized four different tele-medical services, and fifteen regional tele-medical services.

This way, people who were stricken with COVID-19, were able to call in to these services and get the medications they needed prescribed to local pharmacies, or mail order distribution pharmacies, he explained.

“Without the government really even understanding what was going on, we crushed the epidemic curve of the United States,” McCullough claimed. “Toward the end of December and January, we basically took care of the pandemic with about 500 doctors and telemedicine services, and to this day, we treat about 25 percent of the U.S. COVID-19 population that are actually at high risk, over age 50 with medical problems that present with severe symptoms.”

“We know that  this is phase two of bioterrorism, we don’t know who’s behind it, but we know that they want a needle in every arm to inject messenger RNA, or adenoviral DNA into every human being,” he said. “They want every human being.” The doctor later warned that the experimental vaccines could ultimately lead to cancers, and sterilize young women.

Dr. McCullough said his goal is to set apart a large group of people that the system can not get to, which would include those who have already had the virus, those with immunity, children, pregnant women, and child-bearing women.

The cardiologist went on to say that because there is no clinical benefit in young people whatsoever to get the vaccine, even one case of myocarditis or pericarditis following the shots “is too many,” yet even though the CDC is aware of hundreds of alarming reports of cases of heart swelling in teenagers and young adults, they’re only going to reevaluate the matter later on in June. He accused the medical establishment of neglecting to  do anything to reduce the risks of the vaccines.

As someone who has chaired over two dozen vaccine safety monitoring boards for the FDA, and National Institute for Health, McCullough had room to criticize how the vaccines have been rolled out.

“With this program, there is no critical event committee, there is no data-safety monitoring board, and there’s no human ethics committee. Those structures are mandatory for all large clinical investigations, and so the word that’s really used for what’s going on is malfeasance, that’s wrongdoing of people in authority,” the doctor explained.

…“Basically it’s the largest application of a biological product with the greatest amount of morbidity and mortality in the history of our country.”

“We are at over 5,000 deaths so far, as you know, and I think about 15,000 hospitalizations. In the EU it’s over 10,000 deaths. We are working with the Center for Medicaid (CMS) data, and we have a pretty good lead that the real number is tenfold.”

McCullough explained that because the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database only amounts to about 10 percent of the bad reactions to the vaccines, his team has had to go to other sources for information.

“We have now a whistleblower inside the CMS, and we have two whistleblowers in the CDC,” the doctor revealed. “We think we have 50,000 dead Americans. Fifty thousand deaths. So we actually have more deaths due to the vaccine per day than certainly the viral illness by far. It’s basically propagandized bioterrorism by injection.”

Dr. McCullough said he’s seen people in his office with cases of portal vein thrombosis, myocarditis, and serious memory problems post-vaccination…

He said he was recently viciously attacked in the media by a woman from Singapore who is linked to the Gates Foundation.

…“If you said this is all a Gates Foundation program to reduce the population, it’s fitting very well with that hypothesis, right? The first wave was to kill the old people by the respiratory infection, the second wave is to take the survivors and target the young people and sterilize them,” he said.

“If you notice the messaging in the country, in the United States, they’re not even interested in old people now. They want the kids. They want the kids, kids, kids, kids kids! They’re such a focus on the kids,” he said, noting that in Toronto, Canada, last month, they lured the children with promises of ice-cream to get the jab. According to one report, the government of Ontario—which doesn’t require parental consent for children to get vaccinated—encouraged the kids to get the Pfizer vaccine at a pop-up vaccine event.

“They held the parents back, and they were vaccinating the kids,” the doctor railed. He said his Canadian wife’s mother was forcibly vaccinated against her will.

McCullough predicted that the United States is gearing up to force people into getting the injections.

“We have to stop it, and we have to see what’s behind it,” he concluded.
