Health Agency Knew Lockdowns Hurt More than COVID, Hid Info from Public.

Germany’s top health agency, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), knew in late 2020 that lockdowns could inflict more harm than the COVID-19 virus itself and that the efficacy of mask mandates lacked scientific evidence. The information was withheld until court documents stemming from a two-year legal battle between RKI and German magazine Multipolar were made public.

The documents reveal that RKI researchers explicitly warned their analysis revealed lockdowns in Africa showed “an expected rise in child mortality.” A December 2020 report from the institute cautioned that “The consequences of the lockdowns are in parts more severe than the virus itself,” while an October 2020 document suggested that there was ‘no evidence’ to support that masks could prevent the spread of COVID-19.

RKI also expressed doubts in January 2021 about the viability of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine, which was later discontinued after reports of blood clots surfaced.

“The protocols of the RKI crisis team, some of which have now been released, raise considerable doubts as to whether the political measures to deal with the corona pandemic were really taken on a scientific basis,” said Bundestag Vice President Wolfgang Kubicki.

Lockdowns were one of the most controversial measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. A UK study published last year revealed that lockdowns stunted the emotional and social development of 50 percent of children. Another study from researchers at John Hopkins University and Sweden’s Lund University released last year found lockdowns were “a global policy failure of gigantic proportions.”

Scotlands Cops Are Giving Up on Crime, Shifting Almost All Focus to ‘Hate Speech.’

Law enforcement in Scotland, governed by the Glasgow-born Pakistani separatist Humza Yousaf, will stop investigating certain crimes to free up resources at the same time as Scottish police will begin investigating any and all “hate” incidents under new anti-free speech laws.

The scheme follows a pilot program in the city of Aberdeen and is expected to see tens of thousands fewer crimes allocated to front-line officers, with investigations never going past call center workers in some cases.

Police Scotland has not confirmed exactly which crimes it will not bother investigating, as this would give criminals a “tactical advantage,” but has previously admitted some forms of criminal damage and theft will be included.

Meanwhile, the Hate Crime Act set to come into force on April 1 will see police required to action all alleged “hate” incidents, including offensive online comments and even comedy shows.

The ill-defined legislation makes merely “stirring up hatred” a crime, with police training guidance suggesting people can be arrested for offensive statements “for example on a sign, on the internet through websites, blogs, podcasts, social media etc, either directly, or by forwarding or repeating material that originates from a third party, through printed media such as magazine publications or leaflets.”

Yousaf‘s left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP) has admitted the Hate Crime Act will impose “additional demand” on police, resulting in a “resource implication.”

One Million Migrants Apprehended at U.S.-Mexico Border During First 6 Months of FY 2024.

Over one million migrants have been apprehended illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2024, according to Border Patrol data.

The number is just slightly lower than the same period last year, which saw 1,057,000 apprehensions, and just slightly behind the pace of FY 2022 which saw a total of over 2.2 million apprehensions.

The highest number of crossings occurred in the Tucson Sector, which recorded 301,000 apprehensions — a 167 percent increase over the first six months of FY 2023. The San Diego Sector recorded a 76 percent increase, with roughly 153,000 apprehensions.

Although the second-highest number of apprehensions occurred in the Del Rio Sector, the area saw a 6 percent decrease from last year. The El Paso Sector saw a decrease of 47 percent, with 121,000 apprehensions. The numbers reflect the efficacy of Texas’s efforts to secure its part of the border in the face of continued opposition from the Biden government.

The staggering number of apprehensions at the southern border in the first half of FY 2024 reflects the Biden government’s continued failure to address the border crisis. The regimes mishandling of the crisis has become so acute that nearly half of U.S. voters now rank immigration as their top concern.

Fraud Charges Against Ken Paxton Dismissed.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) reached an agreement on Tuesday to have the security fraud charges brought against him dismissed. The charges, which have lingered for nine years, were scheduled to be heard by a jury in mid-April. As part of the agreement, Paxton will be required to serve 100 hours of community service and undertake 15 hours of legal ethics education. Additionally, Paxton will be required to make a payment of approximately $270,000 in restitution to his accusers.

The charges stem from a 2015 indictment regarding Paxton’s role in a technology firm. He was accused of allegedly failing to disclose his financial interest in the firm to investors while persuading them to invest. While the Texas Attorney General agreed to the settlement terms, he continues to maintain his innocence regarding the allegations. The agreement with prosecutors did not require him to admit guilt.

“It was a case on Day One we knew they couldn’t prove, and on year nine, we still knew they couldn’t prove. Ken’s not guilty,” said Dan Cogdell, the attorney representing Paxton in the matter.

The security fraud settlement brings to a close most of the legal troubles that have dogged Paxton — often pushed by his political enemies in the state. Late last year, an effort by moderate Republicans and Democrats in the Texas state legislature to impeach the conservative Attorney General failed. Several of the star witnesses brought by the pro-impeachment lawmakers either proved unreliable or recanted their testimony.

NYC Hands Out Prepaid Debit Cards to Illegals.

New York City officials are distributing prepaid debit cards to illegal aliens as part of a $53 million pilot program. The mayor’s office confirmed that several migrant families received the first debit cards on Monday. They are intended for use on food and baby supplies.

The program will provide illegal families of four with two children under 5 up to $350 each week. It will expand to roughly 115 families — nearly 500 people – over the next week. The cards may only be used at bodegas, convenience stores, grocery stores, and supermarkets, and migrants who participate in the scheme must sign an affidavit stating they will only spend the money on food and baby supplies. Illegals who fail to abide by the stipulations of the program could lose access to the funds.

A spokesman for the mayor said the scheme is a “cost-saving measure” to “replace the city’s current system of providing non-perishable food boxes to migrant families staying in hotels.” They added: “Not only will this provide families with the ability to purchase fresh food for their culturally-relevant diets and the baby supplies of their choosing, but the pilot program is expected to save New York City taxpayers more than $600,000 per month and $7 million per year.”

New York City faces severe strains on its resources due to the ongoing border crisis. The illegal alien ‘newcomers‘ negatively impact the city’s finances, housing, and law and order. In February, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the city is “out of room” for migrants. Last year, the mayor warned the illegal alien influx “will destroy” the city.

Hamas Demands HALT to Aid Airdrops Because People Keep Dying From Them.

The UK dropped ten tonnes of aid on Gaza this week, leading to an outcry from local Hamas leadership as at least 12 Palestinians drowned trying to retrieve the drifting supplies at sea.

The desperate scenes unfolded on a beach in northern Gaza as residents, amid fears of impending famine due to Israel’s continued military campaign, raced to collect the floating aid parcels. In light of the tragic aftermath and further deaths caused by stampedes towards the aid, Hamas and the Swiss-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor have called for an immediate cessation of airdrop operations, requesting instead for increased access to aid through land crossings.

Hamas further demanded that Israel allow a larger influx of aid trucks into the territory. Unicef reinforced this request’s urgency, which stressed the need for aid via land routes to prevent an imminent famine. Despite the incident in Gaza, the U.S. National Security Council has vowed to continue efforts to deliver aid by road while also maintaining airdrop operations.

This incident is not the first time aid delivery tactics have ignited controversy. Frequently, the delivery vehicles themselves have proven lethal, leading to many causalities. Earlier this month, a U.S. aid drop crushed five Palestinians to death.

Fresh Evidence of Ballot Stuffing, Voter Fraud May Lead to THIRD Attempt to Elect Mayor.

Connecticut Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas (D) is asking the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) to investigate allegations of ballot stuffing and voter fraud in the city of Bridgeport’s mayoral election. If the commission concludes that fraud did sway the results, this will be the second time such a determination has been made in less than a year.

The September Democrat primary results were tossed out by a state judge after a preponderance of evidence indicated allies of incumbent Democrat Mayor Joe Ganim engaged in vote-box stuffing and illegal ballot-harvesting practices. The initial results on election night showed Ganim’s primary challenger, John Gomes, ahead by several hundred votes. However, the next day, the results reversed, with Ganim taking the lead.

After reviewing the evidence of election fraud, the judge ordered the results vacated and scheduled a new primary election and general election for January and February, respectively. Ganim once again won the primary and general election while dogged by allegations of having committed election fraud.

According to the Secretary of State, after the new February general election, “eight voters out of 63… indicated during spot check calls that they received absentee ballots despite not requesting them.” Another voter reported “that someone came to his house to help him, had him sign some paperwork, and then took his ballot away.” Thomas additionally says there is evidence voters were offered cash payments in exchange for their absentee ballots.

The allegations have been significant enough to prompt legislative action. The Connecticut House Government Administration and Elections Committee has introduced a bill to bolster the surveillance of absentee ballot collection and limit ballot accessibility to ensure a more effective and fair election process.

Ronna McDaniel Might Make $600K+ From Her Single NBC Interview.

The NBCUniversal News Group could end up paying former Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel over $600K for a single interview after the news network parted ways with her yesterday. McDaniel was fired as an NBC and MSNBC contributor after announcing she would join the network just a week ago. The hiring of the former RNC chairwoman drew considerable public backlash from much of the on-air talent for MSNBC and NBC’s Chuck Todd.

After stepping down as the leader of the RNC in early March, McDaniel announced last week she’d be joining both NBC and MSNBC as a contributor. The news network billed the hire as providing exclusive insights into the Trump political world, emphasizing that McDaniel would primarily focus on the November election.

McDaniel reportedly met with attorney Bryan Freedman, who represented Megyn Kelly during her departure from NBC. Freedman has also represented Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon, and Chris Cuomo. In addition to the $600K contractual pay-out, the former RNC chairwoman has indicated she may pursue additional legal action over discrimination and hostile work environment claims.

Executives at NBCUniversal News Group quickly acquiesced to demands McDaniel be fired after most of the on-air talent for MSNBC engaged in what is best described as an open revolt. The National Pulse reported that MSNBC and NBC personalities Mika Brzezinski, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, Jen Psaki, Joy Reid, Joe Scarborough, Chuck Todd, and Nicolle Wallace all objected publicly to McDaniel’s hiring. According to The New York Times, NBC executives were reportedly “stunned” by Todd’s denouncement.

AUDIO: WH Press Sec Karine Jean-Pierre HANGS UP on Interviewer for Asking About Biden’s Dementia.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre abruptly ended an interview with Charlotte, North Carolina, radio station WBT on Tuesday, hanging up on the host after he pressed her on voter concerns over President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and high gas prices. The host told Jean-Pierre that he had been pushed by numerous people to “please just ask her, does the President have dementia?”

“Mark, I can’t even believe you’re asking me this question,” Biden’s press secretary fired back before continuing: “That is an incredibly offensive question to ask.” The radio host pressed again, countering that many voters were asking the question. Jean-Pierre responded that the President’s physician has been transparent about Biden’s health. She said if people paid attention, they’d see “exactly how focused he’s been on the American people.” Jean-Pierre went on to tell the radio host that she rejected the premise of his question, calling it “insulting.”

The two next moved on to discussing how President Biden planned to tackle inflation’s impact on gas and grocery prices. Jean-Pierre said the President “gets it” and “understands how difficult it is for Americans who are sitting around their kitchen table every month trying to figure out what they’re going to pay for.” Pivoting to the standard White House line, she blamed the high gas prices on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine while claiming the U.S. is in a better position on energy costs now than it was a year ago.

Before the WBT host could respond, Jean-Pierre abruptly ended the interview with a quick “thank you” before hanging up.

Anglican Priestess Declares ‘Let’s Have Anti-Whiteness and Smash the Patriarchy.’

Archdeaconess Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, a senior priestess in the Church of England, has called publicly for more “anti-whiteness.”

Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeaconess of Liverpool, issued a call to “smash the patriarchy” in the same social media post, reflecting on the lessons of a race ideology conference she attended.

“I went to a conference on whiteness last autumn. It was very good, very interesting and made me realise: whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender,” she wrote on X.

“So yes, let’s have anti whiteness, [and] let’s smash the patriarchy,” she added, insisting this was “not anti-white, or anti-men, it’s anti-oppression.”

Since issuing her rallying cry, Threlfall-Holmes has used her X account to post about apples and getting new glasses but has been notably silent on Palm Sunday, Holy Monday, and other Christian holidays leading to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

The Church of England, which is the mother church of the Anglican Communion, including the Episcopal Church in the Unted States has become increasingly woke in recent years.

While Church attendance is collapsing and Church buildings are falling into disrepair, it is spending lavishly on hiring “racial justice enablers” — white people are excluded by the job description — and establishing nine-figure funds to finance slavery reparations.
