Jim Fetzer here in Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Joe Olson, a familiar face in Houston, and Carl Herman from San Ramon, also a regular here on the show, bringing you all the news you need to know.
We begin with Germans being told to take fewer showers as energy costs bite by cutting off Russian gas.
This is idiotic.
Yes, really.
Amid discussion of potential total energy embargo on Russia, articles about the health benefits of showering less have begun to pop out.
An article entitled, It's Enough to Wash These Four Body Parts, for example, and Why the Skin Cleans Itself if You Let It, Germany's Bild newspaper, cites advice by the economy minister, Robert Hebeck, calling on citizens that got back on heating, sauna visit, and showers.
The piece claims avoiding showers gives good bacteria a chance to propagate, helping with skin conditions and consuming the substances responsible for body odor, right?
This way the skin cleans itself.
Your body will actually smell better.
According to Adler, Germans can save energy and keep themselves clean by washing just four areas of the body, their bottom, their armpit, their feet, and their groin.
In some countries, this is colloquially known as a horse wash.
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron wins reelection.
I have no doubt this was stolen.
It's really embarrassing and shocking, even in France.
One can almost hear the sighs of relief from Paris and Brussels and all the way to Washington as Emmanuel Macron Clinched another five-year term.
Polls were narrowing leading up to the runoff, but he still defeated Marine Le Pen in the presidential election, or so we are told.
A contest that is shattering the Western alliance against Russia and jeopardizing the survival of the European Union, devoutly to be wished.
Across victory with 58.2% to 41.8%, okay, the estimated result was significantly smaller than their face-off in 2017 when he had a 32-point lead over Le Pen.
In the past five years, he's streamlined French labor laws, making it easier to hire and fire.
That's streamlining.
See, giving the corporate boss more control to hire and fire, scrapping a wealth tax, that shows he's really on the side of the people.
Forced to drop an increase in fuel tax, marking the Yellow Vest Movement, with explosive protests rocking the country in 2018 and 2019.
Then we had COVID in 2020, with nationwide lockdowns.
A pandemic so far killed 142,000 in France, and as that receded, the war broke out in Ukraine, thrusting him into the role as the EU's major conduit to President Putin of Russia.
Joe, your thoughts about these reports?
Yeah, well on the French election I did see a website this morning that was showing TV news editing of how they were changing the scores just exactly like they did with Trump where Le Pen would have 10,000 votes and all of a sudden she'd have 5,000 votes and an extra 5,000 would appear in his column and like they I've said repeatedly about our theft in 2020.
It's like, how do you have votes go down after they've already been posted?
So yeah, I don't have any doubts in my mind that that's what's going on there.
And as far as this stuff in Ukraine, there's two channels that I'd like to recommend that I just recently got onto.
One of them is a guy named Graham Phillips.
He's an English guy and he does on the scene reporting, has some great interviews with people that were victims of the Asinov hostage situation in Maripool.
And then another guy that's really good is that I just discovered is New Atlas on YouTube.
And he had a column today about the Russian ops.
And he was making mention of the fact that we're sending 50 million rounds of ammunition.
And he said, after the Iraq and Afghan wars, the United States did analysis of gunshot wounds and effectiveness of small arm fires.
And just like at the end of World War II, they realized that most shots were less than 100 feet, and that most didn't result in instant death, but that if you wounded somebody, you could have at least three people held up trying to get him away from the front.
Where if you just out and out killed them, you'd have three people that were still able to engage in the fight.
So that's why they switched to smaller caliber ammunition and just loading the zone with ammo.
But what the point he makes is that after they studied the Iraq and Afghan War, we were getting one kill, confirmed rifle kill, for every 250,000 rounds of ammunition.
And that's light and heavy machine gun fire.
So, bottom line, spraying the country with lead doesn't actually win you a war, but if you've got 50 million rounds of ammo and then they're on the other side of a country where Russia has complete control of the airspace and they know you're shipping weapons, you don't have any ammo.
So, the Russian plan is working marvelously well.
Sad news for the traders on our side, but good news for the rest of the planet.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, I'm very happy to hear that news from Germany.
I was concerned that we were heading in the direction of own nothing, wash nothing, and be happy, but now I can wash four parts, so... Thank you, WEF!
For Macron, you know...
What can you say except merde and fraud and probably Le Pen was paid off in order to tank that.
You know, the stew just gets riper and riper on the stove and I don't know where I'm going with that analogy, but it's definitely not done yet because we're still reporting on these same stories over and over and over again.
So we'll just go ahead and continue to offer choice and hammer the facts and see what develops.
I think Le Pen is not corruptible.
They clearly did steal the election.
Meanwhile, Russia tested a new Sarmat intercontinental missile, which Putin hails as truly unique.
It's a nuclear weapon that will provide food for thought for those who threaten our country.
He's clearly trying to send a message to the West that we have these weapons, and if you're going to mess with us, you may pay a heavy price.
This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure Russia's security from external threats, and provide food for thought for those who, in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country.
It's a heavy missile intended to replace the Soviet-made Voyevodk missile, which was codenamed Satan by the West.
Putin officials said it's capable of penetrating any prospective missile defense, has no analog in the world, and will not for a long time to come.
Meanwhile, graphic video.
Ukrainian Nazis are crucifying young Christian men and burning them at the stake.
This is a bit disturbing.
Some may question why we would post such a horrific video.
The entire U.S.
government complex has been pushing all of America into a pan of blind compliance with their nationwide.
We support Ukraine.
I stand with Ukraine's PSYOC.
Just like the same bad actors deceitfully promoting we're all in this together throughout the COVID era, now they're conning the American public to avidly support a barbaric Nazi regime in Kiev.
Well, it's the same genocidal maniacs who are trying their hardest to start World War III by demonizing Russia while gushing cringeworthy praise for the brutal Nazi government of Ukraine.
If Americans knew just how much of a neo-Nazi and neocon Zionist Zelensky really is, they'd scream bloody murder, especially when they understand his administration and military have been slaughtering Ukrainian civilians at every opportunity.
Virtually every attack on Ukrainian hospitals and civilian infrastructure has been carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the National Guard, especially the neo-Nazi Azov battalion.
Likewise, it was those Azov Nazi savages who perpetrated the viciously ruthless crucifixion and burning shown below.
Until U.S.
citizens see and hear the Syrian truth, they will blindly jump on the Ukraine bandwagon, taking the world off a cliff.
Check this out.
You can feel her emotion.
I'm trying to film this video at the end and I don't get it.
I think every time I'm going to cry.
I don't know what to say, friends.
I don't know.
I'm afraid that it will block me again, but I can't post this video.
Make the results.
You can feel here emotion.
This is what she's talking about.
They've got him strapped to a cross.
I'm trying to get it.
Now I can do my own thing.
This is the Azon Battalion at work.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh!
How about a whack in the nuts just for good measure?
Okay.
Oh!
They spare us from watching the actual rest of it all, but it's horrific and obvious this is their pastime.
This is what they do for amusement.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, I've been saying for a long time that hanging and firing squads and guillotines are too good for the leaders we've got in our country.
I don't know what this guy did, but it pales in comparison to what our, quote, leaders have done worldwide for the last several decades.
So, getting back to the SS-18 Ceramat missile, that can carry between 10 and 15 multiple warheads.
Those warheads can be nuclear up to 750 kilotons each.
And it can take out an area, one ICBM can take out an area the size of France.
And they move at Mach 10, which is faster than any air defense and actually most air detection systems.
So, they have the capability with an 18,000 kilometer mile range.
of hitting any target on Earth in less than an hour.
So, you know, if you've got less than an hour warning and you're counting on your government to warn you, you might as well just consider it a surprise nuke and we're all living in World War III and we got a front row seat.
It's disgusting that that's where the world is today, but that's what these SOBs have been stage-setting the dominoes for.
I just think they underestimated Yeah, it's pretty disgusting.
Putin is acting in an honorable way and the West is not.
This calculation, we can pray, is an end of this rotten cabal.
Yeah, it's pretty disgusting.
Putin is acting in an honorable way, and the West is not.
Carl, your thoughts?
Yeah, we're against a Satanist, evil beyond comprehension opponent.
And that's just how they roll.
Just burning somebody at the stake and causing the maximum amount of pain and suffering is exactly what they want.
And again, I was involved with results.org and the creation of two UN summits for heads of state.
And my experience from those is from the brief interactions that I have with people.
The higher up that they go, you can feel the lies, the deceit, the slime.
There's just a they like to lie and they get off on it.
They don't want to spend a lot of time with you.
They have no interest in the actual any empathy, any project that will do any good.
They really don't have time to be messing around with these subclass humans.
That's just the feeling that I got, and certainly verifiable from their actions.
My understanding that since the 90s, and again, It's very difficult to ascertain another country's or even your own country's military capabilities except at the receiving end of the actual product.
But since the 1990s, the MIRVing capability, the Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry, Vehicles launched from submarines off of both United States coast and in the Gulf Coast would pretty much wipe out any place where you would want to live anywhere in the United States.
And yeah, these psychopaths, they just can't help themselves.
I think once you go down that path of evil, it just gets more and more twisted because they never have enough of it.
They can't get enough money.
They can't get enough control.
They can't get enough power.
So it just becomes more and more twisted.
Oh, I think you said that very well, Carl.
Meanwhile, oil depots in Russia were blown up as Blinken and Osson visit Zelensky in Kiev to tout U.S.
weapon shipments.
Very, very disturbing development.
Two oil storage facilities around 150 kilometers into Russia from the Ukrainian border went up in flames Monday morning, just hours after Secretary of State Blinken and Secretary of Defense Austin met with Ukrainian President Zelensky to tout some 713 million more in U.S.
weapons shipment and military aid.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has published photos of himself with Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin in Kiev Sunday.
He said their visit, at this crucial moment for the Ukrainian state, is very valuable, important, tweeted by Christopher Miller.
Another.
Lincoln and Austin delivered news that Zelensky had more U.S.
military aid, the reopening of the U.S.
Embassy in Kiev, and a new U.S.
ambassador to Ukraine, Bligit Brink, president and ambassador to Slovakia, breaking.
Large explosions reported at a large Russian military base in Bryansk, Russia, amidst reported strikes by Ukrainian forces.
High time for some of these explosions to take place in Russia, writes Visgrad24.
Ukraine can't take them all alone.
Time for Russia to start pulling its load.
Presidents this morning with photographs.
Russian state TV on the explosions.
First, was a civilian facility with about 10,000 tons of fuel.
Second, 10 to 15 minutes later, a military depot with about 5,000 tons.
No word on cause or casualties.
Did America sign off on these alleged strikes?
Did they feed Ukraine the intelligence?
Was this a deliberate provocation by the U.S.?
Or did the Ukrainian military stage it to try and draw the U.S.
even further into the war?
The Asian Times reported, U.S.
involvement goes deeper than arms sales and Intel sharing.
A Pentagon official requested anonymity said, likely we have a limited footprint on the ground in Ukraine, but under Title 50, not Title 10, meaning U.S.
Intel operatives and paramilitaries not regular.
Bruce Fine, a constitutional expert and former associate attorney general in the Ronald Reagan administration, told me this week that, in his view, the United States and several NATO members have become cold belligerents with Ukraine against Russia by systematic and massive assistance to its military forces.
According to fame, the US and its NATO allies are now vulnerable to attack by an army-enemy belligerent, meaning Russia, because of their systematic and substantial violations of a neutral's duties of impartiality and non-participation.
Neutrality is violated by permitting a belligerent to violate its territorial integrity as Belarus and Russia have done to Ukraine, or by supplying warships, arms, ammunition, military provisions, or other war materials directly or indirectly, or supplying military advisors to a belligerent, as the U.S.
has done.
Under the declared war clause of the Constitution, co-belligerency, which displaces the status of the U.S.
as neutral, requires a declaration of war by Congress.
But instead of fulfilling its constitutional duties, Congress has been aggressively pushing the administration to deepen its involvement in what is clearly now a U.S.-Russian proxy war.
On March 2nd, the House of Representatives voted 425-3 in favor of a non-binding Support the People of Ukraine resolution.
The following week, on March 10th, it overwhelmingly voted to send $14 billion in military funding to Ukraine.
On April 7th, the U.S.
Senate passed Republican Senator John Cornyn's Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022, which temporarily waives certain requirements related to the President's authority to lend or lease defense articles if these defense articles are intended for Ukraine's government and necessary to protect civilians in Ukraine from Russian military invasion.
In the end, Congress and the Biden administration are wading into dangerous waters.
Fine words.
U.S.
has employed the concept of co-belligerency to target for extermination.
Any group or individual provides material support to al-Qaeda or to ISIS.
And there is a real risk Russia may take a page out of America's playbook.
Here we see some of the scenes, almost hauntingly beautiful.
Joe, your thoughts.
Yeah, well, in addition to the information they had on the current Russian-Ukraine side, the New Atlas also did a little discussion on a proxy war that's been going on for another 10 years down in Miramar, which is formerly Burma.
and it borders the southern edge of China and so basically we've been going in there and trying to disrupt any Chinese-based businesses and any Chinese-based infrastructure particularly the belt and road roads and railroads that we're that China was planning on putting into Miramar and so we've had this proxy war going on down there we set up a puppet government and gave the woman that won the election a Nobel Prize and then they had a military coup.
So that's an ongoing little hot spot.
And then we have North Korea's decided that, you know, we're on our knees in so many different ways.
And we've reduced all of our military stockpile by an enormous amount.
And so we're no longer a threat to a whole lot of different situations in the world.
So they're rattling their saber against South Korea.
We've got China going against Taiwan as a damn near certainty.
China taking out Singapore is an absolute certainty.
And then China signed a defense pact with the Solomon Islands and all of a sudden the US and Australia are going ballistic because this crosses a red line Those are nice points, Joe.
arrangements.
It's like that red line is what?
12,000 miles away from the United States and 3,000 miles away from Australia.
But Russia doesn't have the right to be concerned about a red line that's right across a little thin white line between their two countries.
Absolutely insane that we have to keep dealing with this moronic level of government that's ruling this world. - Those are nice points, Joe.
Carl. - Yeah, it is crazy.
It is moronic.
It is whatever it is that you want to say about it that stresses the point that it's an empire and the empire is evil.
Now, Russia has different ways that they can strike back because, you know, what we're doing this show for is the emphasis in the power of the weapon of truth.
So I would be very interested to see what would happen if Russia were to go ahead and fully disclose what they know about 9-11.
I think that's exactly right, Carl.
RFK.
That would be an interesting component.
But until we get such a breakthrough, then we go ahead and keep on sliding down toward the threat of a nuclear apocalypse.
I think that's exactly right, Carl.
Exactly right.
Meanwhile, Biden misspeaks giving mask mandate answer to a Title 42 question.
He misspoke, fielding questions with reporters Thursday, giving an answer to an unrelated topic to a question, forcing the staff to once again issue a correction.
Following a live address April 21st on renewed military aid to Ukraine, a reporter asked him about whether the administration is considering delaying the end of Title 42, which has been blocking about half of the migrants trying to enter the United States on grounds of public health risk.
Biden didn't proceed to give an answer complaining Title 42 with facial mask requirements on planes.
No!
What I'm considering is continuing to hear from my first of all there's going to be an appeal by the Justice Department because as a matter of principle we want to be in a position where if in fact if it's concluded by scientists that we need Title 42 that we'd be able to do that.
The DOJ is not appealing the decision to end Title 42, however, but rather ruling by a federal judge that ended their mask mandate for public transportation.
He finished his answer, returning to the issue of 42, saying, there's been no decision on extending Title 42.
In the press conference, the White House cast had to scramble again.
I want to clarify that in comments at the conclusion of my remarks this morning.
I was referring to the CDC's mask mandate.
There's no DOJ action on Title 42.
The White House has had to clarify the comments after the fact many times of late.
During a press conference in January, for example, as Russia was massing troops along Ukraine's border.
Biden said Russia might face fewer penalties from the U.S.
for a minor incursion into Ukraine.
Zelensky responded by saying there are no minor incursions on small nations.
White House Press Secretary Basaki released a statement seeking to clarify another of his comments, that the President was clear with the Russian President, if any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that's renewed invasion.
And we'll be met with a swift, severe, and united response.
Two months later, at a press conference in Belgium, Biden said the U.S.
would respond in kind if Russia were to use chemical weapons, leading National Security Advisor Sullivan to point out the U.S.
has no intention of using chemical weapons, period, under any circumstances.
On the same trip, he told army paratroopers in Poland that they would witness the bravery of Ukrainian citizens defending their country when you are there.
White House had to mop up that too by saying the President has been clear we're not sending U.S.
troops to Ukraine and there's no change in their position also in Poland.
Biden ended his speech saying Putin cannot remain in power.
White House staff had to clarify that he was not discussing Putin's power in Russia.
Biden himself later said he's not walking the statement back at contacts.
I was talking to the Russian people.
That's more of an aspiration than anything.
He shouldn't be in power as though we were seeking to topple the Russian regime.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, this just came out.
Biden says India has its own problems because Modi won't suck up to him.
Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous.
What can you say?
It's an absolute clown show, which is what Alex Kristinoff says in every one of his broadcasts.
He finishes it with a clown show about some stupid, ignorant thing that's going on worldwide about politics.
We I don't know how we get out of this mess.
I really don't.
I don't know that we can vote our way out.
And I don't think that John Cornyn was near as popular being reelected and senator during his last run.
He came on the stage at the Magna Rally in the American Airlines Coliseum in Dallas with 22,000 people.
And when Mr. Trump announced John Cornyn, the boos were so much more audible than the applause or the cheers.
It was absolutely ridiculous.
I'd be embarrassed to get in front of a crowd like that and try to tout my record because John Cornyn You're the most rotten rhino that Texas has produced in a long time, second only to probably the Bush gang.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, the U.S.
has had over 200 incursions into other nations since World War II.
Carl B. Herman blogs about any of these shows.
And in the context section, I have an article series called U.S.
Illegal.
And out of the 243, I believe, when we did the counting a few years ago, Over 200 of those armed international conflicts were started by the U.S.
leading the international community in public polling to conclude that the U.S.
is the most dangerous nation to peace on Earth by more than a 2 to 1 margin over everyone else.
Chemical weapons?
Yeah, we do that.
There's a lot of documentation of that, especially with false flags.
The most recent that I can think of is the ones in Syria.
So yes, Joe, I agree with you, is that there's no way that we can foresee anything other than what I keep saying, a breakthrough, which by definition is going to be something that is unimaginable and unpredictable.
The only tool that I have is the truth that we keep hammering.
But yeah, it doesn't seem that that's going in the right direction as we keep on sliding towards the apocalypse.
Yes, Henry Kissinger observed, the facts don't matter, all that matter are perceptions.
And the Democrats try to lay off enough smoke that they can act as though phony information they put out were true to justify their corrupt acts.
Everybody's talking about FBI, Antifa, BLM, social justice, mostly peaceful rioting, statue-tobbling, city-torching, righteous looting, country-hating, racial baiting.
All they are saying is, give us mob rule.
All they are saying is, give us mob rule.
Everybody's talking about NPR, CBS, CNN, NBC, ABC, the information industry, the kings and queens of punditry.
Or would that be a perfidy?
All they are saying is, give us mob rule.
All they are saying is, give us mob rule.
Everyone's talking about Abram, Kendi, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Don Lamond, Van Jones, Joy Reid, Chris Cuomo, Rachel Maddow, Morning Joe, The Squad, The View.
Stoking fear.
I think I see a pattern here.
Intense concern that's insincere.
All they are saying is, give us mob rule.
All they are saying is, give us mob rule.
Meanwhile, Fauci calls a mask mandate cancellation on public transit unfortunate.
He wasn't happy with the federal judge's landmark ruling characterizing it as unfortunate.
The guy's been in the public eye, said District Judge Catherine Kimball.
Ms.
Zell's ruling superseded the authority of the CDC.
Because that was the reason.
In his response, Fauci didn't account for how Americans now have tremendous access to COVID vaccines and treatments, or how the Biden admin still wants to repeal Title 42 at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Instead, Fauci seems to want to preserve the status quo, even though COVID infections in the U.S.
have precipitously declined.
Well, I follow the CDC guidelines, and the CDC wanted to extend the mandate for the 15-day period beyond April 18th up to May 3rd.
The reason was they wanted to see what the pattern of infection is during this bit of a surge we're seeing.
On Wednesday, the CDC instructed the DOJ to appeal the Trump-appointed judges' cancellation ruling, ending a mask mandate that had coincided with Joe Biden's presidency.
To protect CDC public health authority beyond the ongoing assessment announced last week, CDC has announced DOJ to proceed with an appeal in the Health Freedom Defense Fund, L.V.
Biden.
Adding, the previous mask mandate was necessary for the public health, as though that were a fact, when the contrary, the opposite, is actually the case.
The health agency added, CDC will continue to monitor public health to determine whether such an order remains necessary.
CDC believes this is a lawful order, well within CDC's legal authority to protect public health, even though the judge found precisely the opposite.
This week, social media and TV viewers were treated to a number of videos and still photos chronicling the precise moment in which various airlines dropped mask mandates for airplane travel, some of which occurred mid-flight.
The photos and videos show a large number of maskless passengers celebrating their newfound freedom after new years of flying with mask obligation.
With a new freedom of choice, plane passengers can still wear masks on flights if they like.
White House Press Secretary Misaki had a tense session with the media pressed on the potential hypocrisy of rescinding Title 42 at the southern border, but also wanting to keep public transportation mask mandates in place.
There's also the reality of states abandoning mask mandates indoors on masks.
Misaki shot back saying, I'm not a doctor.
You're not a doctor I'm aware of, which is evasive, of course, in the extreme, I believe.
The public is getting so pissed off by this hypocrisy, rolling out a red carpet for migrants, not forcing them while the American people are having to pay for it and being suffocated with these appalling mass mandates.
They're going to take it out with fury at the midterm, given a chance.
It's going to be devastating.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, and by wearing that mask all day long, you also end up filling your lungs with microplastic, which they're starting to see a whole lot of cases of.
They're going to have to explain more than just their mask charade.
This is from the Daily Exposé UK.
Triple Vax now five times more likely to be infected with COVID-19 than the unvaccinated.
Official data published by the UK Health Security Service confirms that vaccines are effective against infection have fallen to minus 391% among the triple jab 60 to 69 years old and minus 298 to those between the age of 30 and 59.
Other groups have also suffered from a significant vaccine effectiveness drop.
So here we have something that's claimed to be safe and effective.
We have absolute proof it's not safe or effective and we have the same group that managed to waive all the additional trials that would normally be necessary.
Granted emergency youth authorization to not only the Yeah, it is.
It's just breathtakingly bad.
that you had the jabs and they just keep moving the goalposts and hoping nobody notices that these people are in charge of the largest genocide in the absolute history of the planet.
Yeah, it is.
It's just breathtakingly bad.
Carl, your thoughts?
First, with that great song that I appreciate, is that we are in a system where our opponents attempt to bring order out of chaos.
This is also referred to as a problem manufactured by the evil ones and then creating a reaction using corporate media to foment and to cause an emotional push into the solution that our opponents do want.
That is how they roll.
And they virtue signal the entire time and have crocodile tears and you have President Obama or whoever probably wiping away a tear with the middle finger.
The CDC mask, let's take Title 42 and cut that in half and take a look at Title 21.
As federal law under Article 6 of the Constitution is U.S.
Supreme Law, and that states very clearly that there is no medical experiments.
People just can say no, and that is Title 21, but that's completely ignored.
Carl B. Herman Blackspot, go to second paragraph.
My best shot documents sufficient evidence that these people need to be under arrest.
for their fictitious statistics which account for fraud.
You can't believe anything that they tell you in reality.
And the best celebration video that I've seen was, I believe it was a kindergarten class, and somebody was filming it, and you had like 20 little five-year-olds there, and the teacher said, now students, I have an announcement.
And she took off her mask and said, you may remove your masks.
And the students went from zero to full party mode instantly.
Just jumping up and down, screaming, twirling.
And I think that that is where most of us are at.
And yeah, you're right.
If given a chance at the midterms, the voters will translate that emotion into a vote.
Unless, of course, we are Macron midtermed with Dominion voting machines.
Absolutely right.
The fury is going to be unrelenting.
Meanwhile, Fauci, it may never be clear whether COVID lockdowns were worth it.
How absurd is that?
He said during a televised interview he doesn't believe it can be known if the lockdowns or restrictions were worth the unintended cost of people.
Unintended cost?
That was the point of it!
I don't think we're ever going to be able to determine the right balance.
I think the restrictions, if you want to use the word, lockdowns, prevented a lot of infections, a lot of hospitalization, prevented a lot of death.
There's no doubt about it, except there is massive doubt about it.
The effects up here have been precisely the opposite.
He did say the level of restrictions imposed during the two years led to unintended negative consequences.
Children not attending school, psychological effects, economic stress placed on individual families and national economy, domestic violence, suicide, lack of medical care.
Obviously, those negative consequences were unintended, he claimed, but that ain't the truth.
That's exactly what they wanted.
A study by Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics found the lockdowns had little to no public health benefits, but imposed enormous economic and social costs.
Well, this meta-analysis concludes the lockdowns have little to no public health benefits.
They have imposed enormous economic and social costs when they've been adopted.
Lockdown policies, it turns out, are ill-founded and should be rejected as pandemic policy instruments, which Fauci knew already.
The study contradicts his assertion the restrictions lockdowns decrease the death rate from COVID-19, especially the first wave in March of 2020.
Overall, our meta-analysis fails to confirm lockdowns have had a large significant effect on mortality rates.
Studies showing the relationship between lockdowns' strictness find the average lockdown in Europe and the U.S.
reduced mortality by only two-tenths of one percent, compared to a COVID policy based solely on recommendations.
A study from Cambridge University Press found the psychological impact of the lockdowns were not clear, but actually they were.
They were huge and they were all negative.
The spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome has resulted in an unprecedented series of lockdowns worldwide.
Although they varied in stringency, they have substantially altered people's daily lives, affecting their work, leisure activities, livelihood, and capacity for person-to-person social interaction.
Difficult to draw definitive conclusions regarding the impact of the disease lockdowns from prior research because they have marked qualitative differences from those previous, but actually it's not a mystery at all.
Meanwhile, even Hopkins reported lockdowns had little impact, meaning little benefit.
According to a new analysis, the lockdowns affected mortality by about two-tenths of 1%.
We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, or limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on mortality.
They have, however, had devastating effects on the economy, contributing to numerous social ills.
They're contributing to reducing economic debt, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, undermining liberal democracy, postponing medical care, which has caused death from other preventable illnesses to surge.
Such a standard cost-benefit calculation leads to a strong conclusion.
Lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as pandemic policy instruments.
Citing the recommendation of leading healthcare experts, 186 countries and many states impose restrictions on work, socializing, and in-person schooling early on.
Researchers at Imperial College claim such measures could reduce death rates by up to 98%.
Total bullshit.
Researchers Stephen Hankey, Jonas Erby, and Lawrence Yonah get Johns Hopkins say that never happens.
Overall, we can conclude lockdowns are not an effective way to reduce mortality during a pandemic, certainly not during the first wave of the COVID-19.
They examined deaths early and found that by May 20 of 2020, the end of the lockdown period, a total of 97,081 had died of COVID in the U.S.
in the US.
Only one study had projected 99,050 without lockdowns.
Despite the overall findings, there was some evidence to indicate that closing bars helped reduce debt.
But this, mind you, had nothing to do with COVID.
This had to do with fewer people drunk on the roads.
Closing non-essential businesses?
I think bars are about as essential as it comes.
Seems to have had some effect.
Reducing COVID mortality by 10.6%?
I don't believe that for a second.
Which is likely related to the closure of bars.
According to researchers, the timing of lockdowns and their unintended consequences may play a larger role in affecting mortality than expected.
Lockdowns have limited public access to safe outdoor places, beaches, parks, zoos, including outdoor mask mandates or strict outdoor gathering restrictions, pushing people to meet in less safe indoor places indeed.
We do find some evidence limiting gatherings was counterproductive and increased COVID-19 mortality.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, it's indisputable that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin would absolutely reduce this more than any of the other theater that these people have produced.
But you've got to realize that they've got a multi-objective goal when they institute all this goofy protocol.
And like the asymmetric contagion, it's like there's never been a case of somebody who didn't have any symptoms causing somebody else to have symptoms.
But they went ahead and pushed that forward and then to further amplify that then they came in with the social distancing thing so that they could, you know, further stigmatize any type of social contact between people, and then in order to verify if you are violating your social distancing requirements, they wanted to have contact tracing.
And so now we've got the WHO that has a world pandemic treaty that they're trying to force governments to adopt.
And it looks like the United States could adopt that on a simple majority vote by our crooked Congress to delegate the power for all future pandemics completely to this unelected and unqualified and provenly false group of world health organized crime that we have running from the UN.
And then they have this digital currency that they want to install so that they can also do their social credit thing.
And the EU has just announced that as of July 2022, everybody in Europe will have to have a digital pass in order to do anything.
So that's the end goal that they've been working on.
It's just that we had the theater of, you know, pandemic and jabs and, you know, face masking and all the other theater that it took to be able to sneak this by everybody.
But we've still got a population of people that are so stupid that they don't even see this coming when it's obvious in plain sight.
It's ridiculous.
Joe, I think that was a wonderful statement, and you're spot on.
Carl, your thoughts?
Yes, ridiculous.
So first, with that first article, so Fauci, huh?
So he's pimping uncertainty?
Like, I don't know.
Well, then why the fuck are you in charge if you aren't capable of measuring something that you would actually be one of the first questions that you would ask?
You don't know your asshole from your elbow, what the hell?
Who put you in charge?
Exactly, exactly.
And if we had an honest world, what you would do is you would turn loose universities to come up with our best understanding of the data about what the costs have been.
That's if we lived in an honest world, but we don't.
And again, all that stuff for locking down the economy is Orwellian illegal, again, Title 21.
And how they've run this whole thing is a scam, a ridiculous scam.
In California, and I'm sure most states are similar, in order to declare an emergency, you have emergency as defined.
And in this case, for a pandemic, it's beyond control hospitals is the language in California.
Well, so you scare everybody and then you ignore that definition and then you substitute these fraudulent positive cases.
And again, my best shot documents the statistical fraud in that.
And then you just use that to push this emergency status from two weeks to flatten the curve to 100 plus weeks.
To keep this emergency going.
To 666 everyone.
Oh, I'm sorry.
To BBB everyone.
To Build Back Better everyone.
But at least, you know, again, I'm excited about the owning nothing.
I still got that four parts of me that I can still wash.
Very, very nice.
Meanwhile, Disney stock tumbles amid fallout from Florida controversy.
Since when is Disney engaged in encouraging Little kids to learn about sex.
I mean, this is grotesque.
Disney stocks have tumbled so far in 2022 as they waded into Florida's political arena and Republicans voted to revoke their self-governing status.
Stock hit all-time highs in March of 2021 at 200 a share.
Since then, it's dropped more than a third to about 119 as of April 22nd.
As of the 19th, it had reached 131, but has dropped more than 12 per share as of Friday.
They faced criticism in recent weeks after issuing a statement opposing a bill backed by DeSantis prohibiting teachers to instruct on sexual orientation and gender identity in the third grade or younger.
Or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.
Disney at the time criticized the bill and affirmed its support for the LGBT movement.
As a result, some parent groups are organizing a boycott on the company's products, movies, theme parks, and shows.
Thursday, the Florida House passed a bill that would revoke the company's special governing tax status, where it operates a 25,000 square acre parcel of land, including Disney World and other tourist attractions.
DeSantis now has the option of signing the bill into law.
It's a guarantee.
In recent weeks, the governor has accused Disney's corporate office of adopting a woke ideological framework, adding that Disney is sullying its reputation.
You can say that again.
When you have companies that made a fortune off of being family-friendly, catering to families and young kids, they should understand parents of young kids who do not want to be injected into their kids' kindergarten classroom.
The Republican-passed bill drew criticism from Democrats, even including Biden.
I respect conservatives, but there's nothing conservative about deciding you're going to throw Disney out of its present posture because Mickey Mouse—in fact, do you think we should not be able to say, you know, gay?
I think he means Mickey Mouse is gay, although the bill makes no mention of the word gay.
He also claimed, I don't believe it's where the vast majority of the American people are without providing evidence.
If he thinks they're on the side of Disney in this matter, he has his head where the sun does not shine.
Meanwhile, some analysts have noted consumers are cutting back on streaming services, including not only Disney, but Netflix and others.
Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Plus have the scale and management conviction to, over time, be a massive global streamer, said a JP Morgan analyst.
But he added, this isn't necessarily as good a business as Disney used to have in TV.
The market appears to be moving past rewarding media companies as it did in 20 and 21, simply for forecasts of future screaming subscriber growth.
Now it seems investors are looking further down the income statement, digging through the cash to determine the underlying steady state profitability.
But the fact is, he's missing the moral direct dimension.
Meanwhile, A white principal claims she was bullied into quitting after a racist slip of the tongue.
A former Virginia school administrator claims she was forced out after a slip of a tongue.
Now she's suing the school district.
The lawsuit filed this month by Emily Mays alleges white employees in the Albemarle County school system were placed in a no-win situation when they participated in racial equity training.
Mace, a former assistant principal at Agner Hunt Elementary in Charlottesville, claims she was retaliated against for questioning the anti-racist program designed for educators.
In November of 2020, they introduced a mandatory online class about the district's anti-racism policy According to her lawsuit, it was based on Glenn Singleton's courageous conversation about race, a handbook providing educators with an understanding about racial equity and the systemic implication of racism, but I'm sure it's just loaded with bullshit.
Masters White claimed in the lawsuit, instead of train faculty to embrace students of all races, the board uses a teacher-trained curriculum that promotes racial division and encourages racial harassment.
I'm 100% sure she's got that exactly right.
She also asserts the district applied if anyone were opposed to the new train, they should find a new job.
During a train session in June of 2021, the lawsuit said Mace accidentally used the term colored people instead of people of color.
My God!
How awful is that?
Political correctness gone amok.
The suit claims she has immediately apologized for the derogatory term, but was verbally attacked by a teaching aide for her poor word choice.
She was then asked to attend a meeting with a school guidance counselor, an equity specialist, and a district superintendent and assistant superintendent.
She alleges she was specifically targeted because she questioned the train exercise.
And then accused by colleagues of being racist and needing additional equity training.
In September, she was pushed to resign from a job she loved to preserve her mental health because of the treatment she received from colleagues.
As part of her suit, the former assistant principal wants back pay, front pay, and unspecified damages for pain and suffering.
Oh, I'm with her.
Her lawsuit equates the Albemarle anti-racist train to critical race theory itself, slamming the program for not teaching about the concept of colorblindness, which negates cultural diversity, but instead uplifting a color-conscious curriculum.
Despite May's grievances, Albemarle County Public Schools say her legal team is yet to officially serve the lawsuit on the district.
Good for her.
I am with her all the way.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, George Carlin had a famous bit about the seven dangerous words that you could never say on broadcast radio.
But he said, you know, it's really amazing because some of these words, the words themselves are okay.
It's just the order that you place them in.
He says, for instance, you can prick your finger, but you can't finger your prick.
Kind of fits in the same category with his school teacher.
Yeah, Disney has a 38 and a half square mile Reedy Creek development organization where they have over 800 Uh, security officers that do the policing and they built the roads and they secretly put together a large patch of land with a lot of CIA shadow buyers in the early 60s.
Most of the land they accumulated was swampland and they bought it for $150 an acre.
And so then Disney went to the governor of Florida and the state legislature and said, gee, we've got all this swampland.
We'd like to build the future world of tomorrow here, but we can't afford it.
So you're going to have to let us have all these tax breaks.
And so that's where that's come from.
But in addition to that, they're a rogue company.
When you enter a Disney property, you're required to sign a finding arbitration committee meeting where they get to pick the mediators.
They get to pick the settlement.
You get no amount of disclosure involved, and it's a non-disclosure agreement.
So if you get raped or your kid gets eaten by an alligator or you get killed on their monorail, you're never allowed to tell anybody.
And nobody knows about that little ugly side of Disney.
And then we've got the Polk County Sheriff who's been able to catch dozens of Disney employees trying to solicit sex or being involved in child porn.
And so, you know, bottom line, it's not the friendliest place on earth, and it's certainly not full of the friendliest people on earth.
And it has an undeserved reputation.
It is rapidly being shrunk and distorted in ways that are more accurate to the reality of what Disney is all about.
Carl, your thoughts?
And Disney is going to blow up faster and more definitively than the Death Star if we have video release such as from Hunter's laptop, from Wiener's laptop, from Epstein and from Maxwell.
Because on this show last week or so, and anybody can look it up, you know, they're one of the video clips allegedly from Hunter Biden's laptop is a guy who looks remarkably like Joe Biden.
engaged in the sexual bondage torture of what appears to be a 13 or so year old girl by belting the girl as she is strapped and held into position and both of them of course naked.
So that elementary school assistant principal made the mistake of colored person instead of person of color.
I I hope that she does sue and does win.
I'll give a quick update.
In my work with my school district over challenging the health orders, the superintendent of the district, Hayward Unified School District, gave me the definitive and final answer saying, I've already answered all of your questions, Carl.
The answer is, you just follow orders.
And, if we do anything, it's because we're giving you broader rights.
Now, if you want the whole story, Karl B. Herman, Blockspot, any of the article series, I think I'm at episode 52 now.
So, I'm giving tomorrow.
I'm going to contact the complaint manager and the assistant superintendent who oversees complaints and give them a last opportunity before I myself, I think I'm almost at the end of this path.
I'm going to go to law enforcement.
I'm going to go to, there's a California agency for this.
I'll go to the school board one more time, and all I'm telling them is, you know, pick a side.
And the choice that you make on putting you on legal notice may have legal consequences, both criminal and civil.
Carl, I admire and applaud what you're doing just as I do.
That school teacher, you're giving them hell and they deserve it.
May you both prevail.
Meanwhile, defunding the police has backfired big time.
The movement to defund the police arrived in 2020 when BLM decided law enforcement somehow carried a vendetta against black Americans.
Along with other left-wing groups, they began rallying for police departments to be defunded, if not outright abolished.
Eventually, left-wing leaders gave in, cutting funding for law enforcement, claiming the money would be better spent elsewhere.
Many conservatives warned defunding would lead to massive uptick in crime, putting communities in danger.
BLM didn't listen, and neither did the Democrats who cut funding to law enforcement.
As a result, defunding the police has led to a rise in black Americans losing their lives to crime.
In 2020, there was a 2,457% rise in the number, oh no, that's an actual number of Black Americans who were killed.
No coincidence took place during the height of the movement to defund law enforcement.
Portland, New York City, other communities under tight leftist leadership listened to Democrat activists who demanded the police be defunded.
Top of the rise of black Americans who lost their lives.
Crime in general has skyrocketed in these communities.
Skyrocketed.
With fewer police, criminals feel more emboldened than they've ever been to carry out violent offenses against others, something Republicans repeatedly warned would be the predictable outcome.
The leaders and officials who chose to defund the police anyway now have blood on their hands.
Defunding the police did not bring about the utopia BLM or other groups claimed would occur, unfortunately.
Some Democrats to this day, such as Representative Cori Bush, are still calling to defund law enforcement.
Meanwhile, she's also spending top dollar to ensure that she's never without private security of her own.
Not only has defunding police led to an increase in black Americans murdered, but it's politically backfired on the Democratic Party.
This is why so many top Democrats have come out and said they're not on board with cutting funding to law enforcement.
Claims of this nature have come from Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats.
You don't want to suffer the fallout of such a terrible policy.
Unfortunately, even with all the fallout, the notion that this is not a good idea remains contested within the Democratic Party.
There's still some who are pushing defunding the police.
How stunning.
How bad is that?
Joe, your thoughts.
Yeah, well, it's amazing how ignorant some smart people are.
It's like they fall for anything that says smart, whether it's a smart meter or a smart car or a smart home.
And over the weekend, we had a company called Insteon, I-N-S-T-E-O-N, a division of Smart Labs, which ought to bring the smart back into perspective.
And they're the ones that do your ring phone and do online servicing for all of your appliances.
So you can ask your refrigerator how many eggs are left in your egg drawer.
You know, all these wonderful things that make life just so convenient for everybody.
Well, they had an outage last week and they were down for a week.
So everybody that had Insteon smart homes ended up having a brick.
So you had no control over your AC or your refrigerator or whether your toaster was going to talk to you and help you fill out your grocery list.
The whole thing is just absolutely absurd.
I can't believe that people are so absolutely lazy that they think that this is smart just because it has the word smart in it.
But one of the articles that's an activist post on this goes into some of the little issues with this type of home monitoring.
One of them is privacy, because if you can access it on the cloud, then somebody else that's smarter than you can hack into it and they can access it.
And they'll know exactly where you are and when you're going to be home and what you've got in your house and where your keypad is and where all your monitors are.
So there's a privacy issue there, and that also means a security issue.
And then you've got this Wi-Fi system inside your house that's releasing what we all know to be dangerous radioactivity.
And then you have no control over when the system's going to have an outage, independent of the rotating blackouts that we're going to have because of our power shortages, which are all engineered crisis, too.
So bottom line is, if you fall for anything smart, you're not very smart.
Nice.
Carl, your thoughts?
Joe, I think you're right about the trend of people being against these smart things.
I mean, I hear it all the time.
People tell me nobody likes a smart ass, Carl.
So I think the trend is correct.
Yes, that was a PR nightmare, but it did serve the short-term purpose of the evil leaders in order to create chaos and fear, to encourage mail-in voting, the destruction of small businesses, and to create a basically a gang.
Antifa and BLM were later deployed, as I hope facts will show, for the January 6th event.
And let's see, what else?
Oh, and all of that was very important to create a climate of fear so that people wouldn't go out and compare the number of people at a Biden rally to the number of people at a Trump rally.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you, Send fan mail, pro or con, to liveneedtonowatgmail.com.
Liveneedtonowatgmail.com.
Meanwhile, a great report from Pulver this morning.
Not his usual hopium, but far more realistic.
Here's a taste.
Also has some noteworthy videos on the link.
This is from Will Too, a commentator on my blog.
The Anglo-Saxon nations used to have the respect of the world because they stood for democracy, human rights, competent economic management, and such.
We'll never forget.
When I asked the former head of MI6, we used to be the good guys, what happened?
His answer was, the Khazarian Mafia.
This is because like a caterpillar that's been infected by a parasitic wasp, the governments of these countries have been taken over by Satan-worshipping Khazarian gangsters.
So a politician, the military, the West were redirected against the interests of their own people to a project that turned the entire planet into a giant animal farm.
This was to be run by Kazarian gangsters out of their ancient homeland, the place we now know as Ukraine.
The Canarian Mafia took over the governments of most Western countries through a process of murder, robbery, blackmail, and lies.
This was directed at the very tip-top of the elite.
Understanding the problem lies at the tip-top is also the key to overthrowing the Kazarian Mafia.
Just like a pimple, if you squeeze it from the bottom up, the pus comes out at the top.
Meanwhile, final thoughts.
Joe, yours.
Oh, yes.
Well, Jim and I finally had our global warming issue number nine.
We covered the EPA, and this is absolutely a rotten bunch of people.
It's morphed into just an unbelievably wicked bureaucracy that's completely incompetent.
It was formed in actually December of 1970 and that was based on the first Earth Day on April 22nd 1970 and caused a lot of political pressure so it was signed into existence by Tricky Dick and since then they're required to have a cost-benefit analysis for all of the rules that they make and so one of their catch-alls for a rule is that
If we don't control these, you know, various little things in the atmosphere, then they're going to have all these negative health impacts.
And the one that they seize on almost all the time is asthma.
And if we don't control this, we're going to have record increases in asthma cases.
And the stuff so far that they've identified as causing asthma would be ground level ozone, nitrous oxide, volatile organic chemicals, Particulates, which they've gone so far as to say pollen and dust from farming are particulates and they need to be controlled.
So it's like, oh okay, so we're going to control all the trees and all the plants from being able to pollinate.
We're also going to control every speck of dust that's lift off the ground because of a wind, because of a farmer.
Absolutely, sir.
Carbon monoxide, which is if you have incomplete combustion, there's virtually no carbon monoxide.
Sulfur dioxide, which is produced more by volcanoes than it is by human production, but and also it's a component in every living organism.
And so forest fires produced a lot of sulfur dioxide.
So bottom line is we have this other rogue agency that I guarantee you when the facts are known, they're going to be as evil and as wicked as the FDA and the CDC.
So a good hour-long program on the EPA.
But rather than go into microscopic detail and everything, I just gave you the EPA's own website and said, you know, here's where they're involved in this.
Here's where they're involved in that.
And it covers everything.
The Endangered Species Act is covered by them.
Navigable waterways is covered by the EPA, and I go through some examples of why they failed in every one of these particular categories.
So, if you got an hour today, spend it learning something about the EPA.
Carl, your final thoughts?
Ben Fulford, I very much appreciate his work.
I've been a subscriber for probably like a decade, and Ben and I met the oligarchy in a similar way.
Ben, as a journalist in Japan, anytime that you get ideas of solutions that actually could work, And you begin talking to people in positions of authority to see about, hey, let's get some of these implemented.
Let's get some action.
Let's get some economic cost benefits that then you meet the evil.
And Ben's testimony is that he was offered the position that he would be elevated to the position of similar to Secretary of the Treasury.
And Ben said, OK, so what is your agenda?
And Ben says that he was told that the long term plan Was to call about 90% of the population in order to just create a better planet for the oligarchs who run the run the show behind the scenes and full forward became their opponent ever since so for And he's right that they do because they control what is used for money.
They can buy whatever they want and they have purchased media and education that leaders of key industries that they need.
And then if there are people at the top that are working against them or they need to get rid of.
You can go ahead and assassinate them like JFK, RFK, and MLK.
And finally, you know, as I have mentioned from time to time, it looks like ordinary people like us have very little effect, very little power.
All we have is the truth, and the truth is all we have.
And yet, You know, if you're a person of faith, if you're a person of philosophy, if you're a person of just intellectual integrity, now is the test to exercise it.
This is the extreme sport of revolution and you have to, you know, the alternative of any type of surrender to these psychopaths is unimaginable because their evil is also unimaginable.
Let me just say how much I like working with Joe Olson from Houston and Carl Herman from San Ramon, California.
They may be things that are called smart that are actually dumb, but these guys really are smart, and they're making an effort every single show we do to bring you the truth, to understand what's going on in the world, and I myself appreciate profoundly their efforts.
We're doing this to benefit you.
We believe you deserve to know what's going on in the world because it's going to affect you.
And it looks as though the knuckleheads in Washington and the military-industrial complex, combined with the Kazarian mafia, want to precipitate a world war with Russia.
Not a good idea.
That is definitely not smart.
Spend as much time as you can with your friends and relatives.
We do not know how much time we have before nuclear incineration.
Meanwhile, we'll continue to bring you all the news you need to know.
