Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Joe Olson in Houston.
We had hoped Holly Seliger might be able to join today, but she's unavailable, sad to say.
We begin with an homage to Bill Russell, who transformed pro basketball.
He made it a defensive game before it had been purely offensive.
We see a bit of regression today.
NBA, they don't play serious basketball in comparison to the standards of the past.
Bill Russell has been my all-time pantheon of American heroes, along with JFK, RFK, and Muhammad Ali, as four of the greatest Americans whom I admire beyond words.
A Hall of Famer who led the Celtics to 11 championships.
He was the single most devastating force in the history of the game, as coach Red Auerbach said.
Even before opening tip-off at Celtic games, Russell evoked domination.
Others ran onto the court for their introduction, but he walked on slightly stooped.
I'd look at everyone disdainfully like a sleepy dragon who can't be bothered to scare off another would-be hero, he recalled.
I wanted my look to say, hey, the king's here tonight.
Russell's awesome rebounding and defensive blocking triggered a Celtic fast break that overwhelmed the rest of the NBA.
His quickness and uncanny ability to block shots transformed the center position, once a spot for slow and hulking types, and changed the face of pro basketball.
He propelled the Celtics to 11 NBA championships, a final two after he became the first black head coach in major American sports.
He died on Sunday at the age of 88.
He was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975.
Red Auerbach, who orchestrated his arrival as a Celtic and coached him on nine championship teams, called him the single most devastating force in the history of the game.
He was not alone in that view.
In a 1980 poll of basketball writers, not long before Michael Jordan and LeBron James entered the scene, Russell was voted nothing less than the greatest player in NBA history.
Former Senator Bill Bradley, who faced Russell with the Knicks in the 1960s, viewed him as the smartest player ever to play the game and the epitome of a team leader.
By the way, Bill Bradley was a freshman at Princeton when I was a senior, and whenever we passed him in the halls or outside, it was common to observe, there goes a future president of the United States.
He didn't make it all the way, but he certainly was qualified.
At his core, Russell knew that he was different from other players, that he was an innovator, and that his very identity depended on dominating the game, Bradley wrote in reviewing Russell's remembrance of Auerbach in Red and Me, My Coach, My Lifelong Friend, 2009.
In the decades that followed his retirement in 1969, when flashy moves delighted fans and team play was often an afterthought, his stature was burnished even more, remembered for his ability to enhance the talents of his teammates, even as he dominated the action and to do so without bravado.
He disdained dunking or gesturing to celebrate his feats.
In those later years, his signature goatee now turned white.
Russell reappeared on the court at swing time, presenting the most valuable player of the NBA championship series with a trophy named for him in 2009.
Joe, your thoughts?
I'm not a b-ball fan.
Matter of fact, I'm not any fan of any sports professional or collegiate at this point.
It's just the whole system has been poisoned to the point where I didn't enjoy it much to begin with.
I only went to a couple of professional football games and a couple of professional baseball games.
Went to probably a dozen college games, football only.
Just not really a sports fan.
Had other things that I needed to concentrate on.
So, yeah.
You know, one thing about it, he beat the actuary tables, and he had prolonged illness, so we don't have to suspect that he was a victim of the jab at this point, because, you know, if it's not sudden adult death syndrome, then it's probably not jab related, so hopefully he didn't have to go out that way, but...
Yeah, it's sad passing because we have few voices, particularly in the black community, that are not standing up for equity for all, you know, and that's a problem.
If you can kneel for one race and not for any other, then we really have a bigger problem than just, you know, who's putting the most balls in the buckets.
Well, I'll tell you, among the greatest basketball series of all time were those games between the Celtics and the Knicks.
And here we have the NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, making a statement observing Russell was, quote, the greatest champion in all of team sports.
I share that opinion.
But Joe, I appreciate your dissent.
We're all about diversity and well-argued opinion, and I appreciate yours.
Meanwhile, Putin, the Ukraine-Russia war, Putin's weary forces, and I don't think they are weary, make their first games in three weeks, allegedly, as Wagner mercenaries capture a huge power plant?
Russian forces have taken over Ukraine's second biggest power plant as Putin advances in the Donbass.
Speaking on Wednesday, the Ministry of Defense said it was likely Russian private military firm Wagner had advanced on the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine.
The advances were made about the Volhynska power plant in the nearby village of Novoluzhsat, the Ministry of Defense said on Twitter.
Speaking of the capture, they achieved a tiny tactical advantage, said a Ukrainian official.
Seizing the Soviet-era coal-fired power plant, its first strategic gain in more than three weeks, and its special op to demilitarize and denazify its neighbors.
The MOD added some Ukrainian forces have likely withdrawn.
More than 100,000 fleeing the war in Ukraine have received sanctuary in the UK, by the way, through its visa schemes, according to government figures.
104,000 have arrived in Ukraine as of Monday, figures published by the Home Office and UK Visa and Immigration show.
The milestone was reached more than four months after the government's visa schemes were launched in March.
Meanwhile, Ukraine claims to have eliminated 1,742 Russian tanks.
They've released their latest update on Russian losses.
They claim to have taken out 1,742 tanks and 3,979 armored vehicles.
Those numbers seem to me to be grossly exaggerated, but I must admit the West has provided them with, for example, Javelin anti-tank missiles, and I have no doubt they've accounted for a good number of tanks, probably a fraction of those numbers.
Meanwhile, we're all dangerously close to nuclear war.
National Security Advisor Sir Stephen Lovegrove of the UK sounded a chilling alarm amid fears that Russia and China are upgrading their weapons of mass destruction.
He said the war in Ukraine, coupled with the sequent of regimes in Moscow and Beijing, means we're more likely to see escalation wormholes, sudden unpredictable failures in the fabric of deterrence, causing rapid escalation to strategic conflict.
He was speaking as North Korea's Kim Jong-un—and by the way, it's a body double, Kim is gone—warned that South Korea is pushing the world toward the brink of nuclear Armageddon.
Here's a video we can discuss.
Check this out.
This was where the Russians were holding Ukrainian prisoners of war and debriefing the Ukrainian prisoners of war, and the Ukrainians targeted it to silence them from revealing secrets they do not want the Russians to know.
So this was taking out a POW camp, holding lots of Ukrainian POWs, not by Russia, but by Ukraine.
Surprise, surprise.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well, Alex Kristof has a good explanation for all this.
He said the Russians have fragments of HIMAR missiles, and they had the missile track coming from Ukrainian-held territory, hitting that camp.
That camp, they killed 53 Azov POWs, wounded 76, and also wounded 13 prison guards.
So the excuses that Zio Linsky's trying to put on this about why why Russia bombed their own POW camp with Ukrainian POWs is pretty ridiculous.
But I was in Austin this weekend and I took my little daily constitutional walking around the Capitol.
And there was a group there that was protesting for more support for Ukraine.
And I talked to a young couple and the guy looked like, you know, he was perfectly military capable.
And he had a young child that was probably six months old.
And and he said that he was supporting Ukraine the same as if, you know, Texas tried to rebel against the United States.
The United States would be able to crush Texas.
I said, well, we are going to rebel against the United States and they aren't going to crush us.
I said, but what about all the Bandera and Azov people that have been bombarding the east side of Ukraine since 2014?
What about Soros overthrowing your government in 2004 with the Orange Revolution and then in 2014 with the Madden Revolution?
And then what about the Minsk Agreement?
Where you had agreed with Germany and France as arbitrators to make Ukraine neutral and quit attacking the eastern side of Ukraine.
And he goes, well, I don't know anything about any of that stuff.
And it's like, yeah, I could tell what you are.
You're sent over here by your State Department because you're part of the protected class of the upper crust of Ukraine.
And you're over here on some phony baloney student visa.
And you're going to be coming to a rally trying to convince
Texans, that we need to support one of the worst dictators in the whole world at this point that allows no free press and no political opposition and is going through a purge where he's claiming that there's 650 people inside his own government that are guilty of treason and he wants to exterminate them and he's been able to collect over a billion dollars in his personal offshore accounts that we know about and so you're telling us we need to give him more than the 60 billion we've already given him?
No, I think we made a huge mistake supporting you guys.
Very good.
Very good, Joe.
Nice.
Nice observations.
Meanwhile, the percentage of COVID cases, hospitalization, and death by vaccine status in Canada, simply stunning.
The unvaccinated, maybe 10%.
Vaccinated, 90%.
World Council for Health calls for immediate recall of all COVID vaccines.
Here's a very informative presentation by Dr. Peter McCullough, an American cardiologist who is vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor Medical Center, professor at A&M, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiorenal Medicine, one of the most highly respected and published cardiologists in the United States.
You can find it on my blog, my most recent, by Edward Hendry.
He was once one of the most published and cited authors in the medical community, but since he's been explaining the dangers of COVID vax, Baylor and A&M have cut ties with him.
He's had his research revealing the dangers of the vax suddenly unpublished and deleted.
Here he mentions a sweeping research by the World Council for Health.
I decided to check his claims and found he was correct.
My research took me beyond the WCH findings.
It includes some surprising facts and evidence which will shock some.
The World Council for Health has extensively studied the world databases on vaccine injuries and have announced their results.
The database revealed more than 40,000 deaths linked to the COVID vaccine and called for an immediate recall.
Here are some key points they make.
Underreporting of adverse effects.
These reported deaths are just a tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Dr. Katrina Lindley explains the deficiency of the reports.
The COVID vax are exponentially more dangerous.
They noted the polio vax was recalled less than a year after 10 reported deaths.
Yet the COVID with 29,635 associated deaths has not been recalled after two years.
COVID vax are unsafe and ineffective.
Even the CDC and vax manufacturers on record acknowledging their vaccine do not prevent the spread of COVID-19.
It's embarrassingly bad.
COVID vaccines cause autoimmune disease.
What is the cause of this phenomenon?
UK Health Security Agency data shows the vaccine efficacy drops at a steady 5% average rate per week.
You would think that that fact would only indicate the vaccine's losing efficacy, ultimately dropping to zero, but that's not the case.
The hard data shows that, in fact, the 5% loss actually continues past zero.
What that means is the vaccine increases the likelihood of COVID from which it's supposed to protect.
Vaccine makers given civil liability because vaccines are unavoidably unsafe.
Congress, in one of its monumental acts of stupidity, passed the National Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which granted immunity of pharmaceutical companies for injuries caused by the vaccine manufacturer.
PrEP Act protection for experimental vaccines.
Experts specialize saying the bar for obtaining compensation is very high under the PrEP Act over the past few years.
94% of those who filed received no compensation.
What this means is they're virtually immune from any liability.
Moreover, drug companies have a financial incentive to make harmful vaccines.
The vaccine manufacturers now have no interest in mitigating the damage caused by their products, but a perverse incentive to make their vaccines as dangerous as possible, because those injuries make the pharmaceutical companies rich through the patent medicines they sell to address the injuries caused by their own products.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, we got a great little video posted at Principia Scientific.
It's amazing.
Polly talking about the deaths in less than a week of three doctors in Ontario, Canada.
And all three of them had their fourth jab, so their second booster.
And then over the weekend, it turns out there was two more that turned up.
So now we've got Four dead doctors in a week in one hospital, which is pretty much a significant cluster, and all four of them had been jabbed.
So, if you've fallen for this ruse, I feel really sorry for you.
There's probably not much hope because these things appear to have a lifelong destruction of your DNA and the ability to create pathogens Using your own body to produce them so your body's going to keep attacking its own cells forever and ever.
But what we do need to do is to locate the people that were responsible for this planned genocide.
And we need to make sure that they are punished severely for the worst crime in the history of the planet.
Oh, Joe, I agree 100%, spot on.
Meanwhile, 500 fired healthcare workers win an historic multimillion-dollar settlement.
They called this a wake-up call.
Health workers who are fired for not getting a COVID shot have won a major victory.
The Liberty Council have announced an historic $10.3 million settlement in the nation's first-of-its-kind class-wide lawsuit.
The class action against North Shore University Health System is on behalf of more than 500 current and former health workers who are unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemption from the Schott mandate.
The settlement was filed Friday in the Federal Northern District Court of Illinois.
It has to be approved by the court.
The Vice President of Legal Affairs and Chief Litigation Counsel, Horatio G. Mihat, said, we're very pleased with the historic 10 million settlement achieved in our class action lawsuit.
The drastic policy change and substantial monetary relief will bring a strong measure of justice to North Shore's employees.
The settlement should also serve as a strong warning to employers across the nation.
They cannot refuse to accommodate those with sincere religious objection to forced vaccination mandates.
Part of this settlement, North Shore will pay $10,337,500 to compensate hundreds of healthcare employees.
North Shore will also change its unlawful no religious accommodation policy to make it consistent with the law.
Employees who are terminated will be eligible for rehire if they apply within 90 days of the final settlement approved by the court and will retain their prior seniority levels.
The number of individual claimants will depend on how many valid and timely claim forms are submitted.
If the settlement is approved, it's estimated employees who are terminated because of religious will receive about $25,000 apiece.
Those who are forced to take a shot, $3,000.
Frankly, that's really not enough considering the damage it's doing to their bodies and the risk it's running to their very lives.
Mark Stever, founder and chairman of Liberty Council, said, this class-wide settlement providing compensation and the opportunity to return to the work is a first of its kind in the nation involving COVID shot mandates.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well in the comment section under Polly, there's a link to an article that says Netherlands higher vaccine uptake the higher the mortality rate.
What Dutch researcher Andre Redert has found is that he compares mortality rate with vaccine uptake in municipalities in Netherlands and finds no mortality reducing effect from vaccine.
Instead he finds a statistically significant positive correlation between vaccine uptake and mortality.
Methodist Hospital is being sued by Jennifer Bridges, who is an RN, and a group of about, I think at this point, 150 health care workers.
But her current boss is a doctor named Dr. Mary Bowden.
She's a Houston physician.
And she had her privileges at the hospital revoked, and they made some really damaging statements about how, you know, she's an alchemist and a lunatic and, you know, nobody should ever use her.
It really defamed her.
So she's suing them for $25 million against the several hundred million dollar class action lawsuit that's been filed by Bridges.
So this is the hospital headed by a guy named Bloom.
And he ordered all 27,000 employees to take the experimental jab or lose their job back in May of 2021.
And unfortunately, I have an RN daughter that I'm not sure if she Oh, Joe, it's just horrific what's been going on here in the name of health.
gave each other saline solutions, but she was under the order that she had to get that done as well.
So I have a personal vendetta against the people at Methodist Hospital, and certainly this man needs to spend the rest of his life in jail.
Oh, Joe, it's just horrific what's been going on here in the name of hell.
Clarence Thomas just quit teaching in one stunning announcement.
Leftists spent decades attempting to destroy him.
In the first time since 2011, Clarence will not teach a course at George Washington Law School of Political Reports.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is not listed as an instructor for any courses on the website for GWU's law school, where he's taught since 2011, a removal that follows a high court's controversial decision undoing decades of precedent protecting a nationwide right to abortion access.
Thomas, among the five who voted to overturn the Roe v. Wade of 1973, also authored a concurring opinion suggesting courts should revisit other precedents, including those entitling Americans' access to contraception, same-sex marriage, and same-sex relationships.
His role in the decision prompted a GWU student to launch a petition signed by 11,300 calling for him to be removed from his teaching post at the university.
There was a time when universities would stand up for diversity of opinion.
My God, this is a black member of the United States Supreme Court.
This idea of censoring him is outrageous.
A woke Bob pressured the school to fire him after his concurring opinion in Dobbs, which struck down Roe, and returned the issue to the states.
In his concurring opinion, he suggested they should reexamine the concept of substantive due process, a left-wing legal doctrine holding justices can claim the Constitution grants rights not explicitly stated in the text, and also look at the Obergefell case, which mandates homosexual marriage in all 50 states.
I think it's highly unlikely any of those others are going to be considered.
An email from his co-instructor revealed he voluntarily chose to no longer teach.
He's informed me he's unavailable to co-teach a seminar this fall, said Professor Gregory Maggs.
I know this is disappointing.
I'm very sorry.
Leftists believe that Canada should be the sole domain of radicals that are increasingly strident, woke ideology.
Part of that leftist mindset is the idea conservatives are not just wrong, but they are evil, and there's no place in the public square for their ideas.
Thomas found himself in George Washington, hounded by the council mob.
But the mob isn't just a group of angry protesters.
Pro-abortion activists unleashed a wave of domestic terrorism this summer, set 13 crisis pregnancy centers on fire.
Police arrested a leftist for attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Thomas may be stepping away from GW this coming semester out of fear for his physical safety.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well, it's all started in the 60s with the SDS trying to take over campuses and they were successful at some schools, but they weren't really successful in any of the schools that I'm aware of in Texas.
I was at UT at the time and, you know, I went to SDS rallies just to hear the other side of it, but I also went to Ann Rand rallies and rallies for other different things.
Went to every major speaker I could possibly hear.
And we had a pretty good student program on speakers.
So yeah, he's definitely got a target on his back.
And he's definitely got to worry about his personal safety, number one.
And number two, what's the point of trying to teach a classroom of rowdy little punks that are going to sit there and yell at you the whole time and sneer and not learn anything from you anyway?
So if there's no objective basis for your opinion, then why even bother?
So Georgetown is the cesspool that it wants to be.
I feel sorry for the parents that are paying $100,000 a year to get that pedigree for your little kids because it's worthless.
Yeah, you make good points.
Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom says Democrats need to organize with more ferocity against the ruthlessness of the Republican Party.
The ruthlessness of the Republican Party?
Gavin Newsom said that Democrats must rally with ferocity.
Democrats must stand up against the ruthlessness.
The facts aren't on their side, but they're dominating the narrative, he claimed.
In an interview this weekend, California governors said the Democratic Party needs to rally and organize with ferocity.
He made the comments on a July 16 episode of a show hosted by Fox LA anchor Alex Michelson, responding to a question about what the party could do to support Biden if he were to run in 2024.
You have to recognize what you're up against, and right now we're against the ruthlessness of the Republican Party.
That's not a cheap saw.
You see, what's happening to all the progress we've made in the 21st century, all the rights we were in many ways have taken for granted, had afforded since the 70s, are being rolled back in real time.
This is a totally different movement.
He added the Democrats must wake up with a different mindset that goes beyond being collaborative.
This is where the party comes in.
The Democrats need the Democrat party, not the President, not the Speaker.
The party, the infrastructure, has to organize with ferocity of focus.
More determination has set the agenda, set the course.
And with the other party on the defense.
The facts aren't on their side, but they're dominating the narrative.
And in this world, you dominate the narrative, you win.
That's what I'm worried about.
Speculation has it that Newsom might look to secure the 2024 nomination himself.
Earlier, he hit out at Florida Governor DeSantis, a potential challenger to Trump, running an ad in Great Floridians to move to California.
Not much chance of that.
Meanwhile, Newsom talks abortion, gun violence, and murder in a trip to Washington, D.C.
He spent the majority of a 23-minute tweet talking about red states like Florida as he accepted an award for California's work in improving education.
That's a joke.
Devin Newsom's week-long trip to Washington wrapped up after meeting lawmakers and accepting an award.
One political analyst said, well, Newsom received an award while he was there.
He didn't go to D.C.
for that purpose, but to put himself on the national platform.
He spent the majority of his speech talking about red states like Florida.
He used the platform to take on the conservative establishment.
The award was just the beginning of his Capitol tour.
He had a meeting with First Lady Jill Biden about education.
He wants to be a leading spokesman for the Democrats on various issues.
So we're talking about homelessness, gun control, abortion, book burning.
Newsom also met with Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who led the recent bipartisan Senator talks on gun violence.
He met with Elizabeth Warren to talk about reproductive rights, Susan Rice to talk about topics including homelessness, reproductive rights, and supporting immigrants.
I've been told the governor is having a lot of fun with this, and it's not necessarily because he's angling to be president, running for president in 2024, just because he would like, I think, to be on the national stage, as most California governors believe they belong.
Let me add Joe.
Some speculation coming from my colleague Scott Bennett.
Kamala Harris is not actually eligible to ascend to the presidency.
The plan is to replace her with Newsom and then get Biden out of the way so Newsom can ascend to the presidency.
Newsom obviously is a far more formidable political figure, far more articulate, Well, the problem is if you end up serving more than two years of a term, then you're ineligible to run again.
So he could run again and that would limit in total to six years in office.
nothing that is going to happen before the November midterm.
Your thoughts, my friend.
Well, the problem is if you end up serving more than two years of a term, then you're ineligible to run again.
So he could run again, and that would limit him total to six years in office.
So they might want to hold him until after January 20th, so then he could have less than two years remaining, so they could run twice, and then they wouldn't have to bother with finding a new candidate for the next 10 years.
So that's a potential as well.
But yeah, the guy's an absolute ding dong.
And what's his veracity of focus?
It's like, these people spend all day long trying to come up with emotive, virtual signaling terms and phrases, and they think that's what wins elections.
It's just like, you know, Madison Avenue is running our country.
It's like, if you can pick the catchy phrase that wins the election, then you're the king of the world!
It's like, this is so stupid.
And if people fall for something that is this moronic again and again and again, There's probably no hope for civilization other than just, you know, what you can do in your own little backyard.
It's pretty sad, and I have absolutely no respect for that person at all.
Well, Governor Newsom, among his notable recent achievements, he drained two massive reservoirs in California that had enough water to sustain a five-year drought into the ocean to guarantee that agriculture in Southern California, which is indispensable to the nation's food supply, would die in the field.
This is what you have with Gavin Newsom.
He wants to do for the nation what he's done to California.
Not something any rational soul would desire.
Meanwhile, we'll be right back.
Get this.
Food Dispossession and Dispandency Resisting the New World Order.
This is coming from Global Research.
It's a very lengthy, substantial article I intend to publish on my blog.
We are currently seeing an acceleration of the corporate consolidation of the global agri-food chain.
The high-tech big data conglomerates including Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google have joined traditional agri-business giants such as Corteva, Bayer, Cargill, and Synergia in a quest to impose their model of food and agriculture on the world.
Bill and Melinda Gates is also involved, documented in Gates to a Global Empire by Navadone International, whether through buying up huge tracts of farmland, promoting a much-heralded but failed green revolution for Africa, pushing biosynthetic food and genetic engineering technologies, or more generally, facilitating the aims of the Merge Mega agri-food corporations.
Of course, the billionaire interests behind this try to portray what they are doing as some kind of humanitarian endeavor.
Saving the planet with climate-friendly solutions.
Helping farmers.
Feeding the world.
In the cold light of day, however, what they're really doing is repackaging and greenwashing the dispossessive strategies of imperialism.
Joe, you may want to comment on that before we go further.
Yes, well, you control the food, you control the nation, you know, you control energy.
Yeah, these people have been doing this plan since about the 1870s at least, and they have decided that the majority of the people on the planet don't belong here, and that they are Enough of a super godly force, divinely powered to destroy any portion of humanity and civilization that they don't have total control over.
So we're dealing with some very, very evil people here, and food is definitely one of our vulnerabilities.
Control energy.
I'll find that exact quote.
I was just looking for it as we were talking, so let me pull that exact quote up.
You can go back to the rest of the subject while I find it.
You got it, Joe.
Meanwhile...
World Health Organization activates an emergency panel.
They're set to hold a second meeting on monkeypox spreading around the world.
Turns out to be gay diseases spread through anal sex.
As a last update, monkeypox has been reported in 63 countries with around 9,200 cases.
Considered endemic in countries in Central and West Africa, However, beginning in May, monkeypox began to be reported in countries outside that region.
That led WHO to convene an emergency committee on June 23rd.
They debated the disease and whether or not there should be an issue of a public health emergency.
The committee actually voted against it.
They suggested to Tedros, the chief of WHO, not to issue the warning since that situation had not merited.
Nevertheless, the Emergency Committee would provide its views to the WHO Director General.
Once a meeting is held and the Committee makes its decision, they plan to release another stame hunt.
They said the majority of the infections have happened mainly in urban regions and men who had sex with other men.
Most of those infected have been young as well.
However, Tedros said during a Tuesday press conference who is going to work closely with the LGBTQ community to tackle the stigma around the virus.
He must work to stop transmission, who released its first official report, but Tedros has gone ahead to declare it.
We have our – we're right on our predicted schedule.
Retired U.S.
generals issue warning about new pandemic declaration.
Major General Paul Valley, U.S.
Army, Thomas McInerney, U.S.
Air Force, have concerns over the WHO declaration that monkeypox is a global health emergency, alleging potential ulterior motives.
Each of us should not be alarmed by this alert as the credibility of WHO is in great question based on their actions and notices on COVID.
The rare designation means a WHO now views the outbreak as significant enough that a coordinated international response is needed.
Beware of this potentially driven global organization funded by the global elite.
Monkeypox is a disease transmitted through the sexual activity of gay and bisexual men.
I've decided the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of urgent national concern, said the WHO Director General Tedros in a 23rd of July statement.
Here you have him meeting Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in China.
He said his decision was due to an increase in monkeypox cases in the world.
Now over in 75 countries, 16,000 infections, 5 deaths.
The report on July 23rd lays out the reasons the members had for and against declaring it to be an emergency.
Tedros, by the way, is not a medical doctor.
He is a Marxist from Ethiopia, totally supported by the Chinese Communist Party.
He lied about COVID from the beginning to cover from China, General Valley observed.
McEnany said that they predicted the declaration of another pandemic about this time of year.
They are right on our predicted schedule.
We shall not conform to their guidelines.
We must resist lockdowns.
Now it's time for America and the world and we, the people, to say no.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well here's the Henry Kissinger quote.
Who controls the food supply controls the people.
Who controls energy can control whole continents.
And part of what they're doing is to force the, using the health card as a canard, force a social credit score where they have control over all of your food and all of your energy.
So bottom line is he's the same commie that he was when he got his degree in economics and then he went to a school in London which was specially selected and paid for by the Chinese communists and he got a advanced degree in public health but he is no doctor by any definition of the word doctor and the guy was involved in the extermination of the Tigray
They estimate at least 10,000 people died of cholera because he likes biological weapons.
Yes, yes.
Excellent.
Excellent comments, Joe.
Meanwhile, John Hopkins' working paper says COVID lockdowns were not worth it, sparking a fierce debate.
Three economists have concluded that lockdowns in response to COVID did not have a significant effect on mortality rates.
Lockdowns in Europe and the U.S.
reduced COVID mortality by two-tenths of a percent on the average, concluded Stephen Hanke, a professor of applied economics at Hopkins, Jonas Herby, an advisor at the Center for Political Studies in Copenhagen, and Lars Jonhug, professor emeritus of economics at Lund in Sweden.
The working paper was published on the website of the John Hopkins Institute for Applied Economic Global Health and Study of Business Enterprise.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the paper.
She deferred to the admin's experts to address the specifics, but added, Most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous president.
lockdowns, we've not been pro-lockdown.
That has not been his agenda.
Most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous present.
Our objective has been we have the tools we need to keep our country open.
It consists of a review of 34 studies and meta-analyses with 24 of them that the lockdowns produce limited results on COVID deaths, that shelter-in-place orders reduced mortality by 2.9%, noting closing non-essential businesses seem to have some effect, noting closing non-essential businesses seem to have some effect, up to 10.6%, probably related to closing bars.
Herbie, Jonung, and Hange's meta-analysis include studies establishing a relationship between mortality and lockdown policies.
They excluded studies evaluating the effect of voluntary behavioral changes as well as studies using cases, hospitalization, or other measures.
Interrupted time series studies comparing mortality rate before and after lockdowns.
Studies analyzing the effect of early versus late lockdowns and synthetic control methods.
They looked at specific NPIs.
Face mask mandates had a large effect in reducing mortality.
I find this difficult to believe.
Based on only two studies, and one specifically at an employee mask mandate, I have 150 studies showing that face masks do no good and do, in fact, tremendous harm, and that most of those who died from the Spanish flu did not die from the flu, but from bacterial pneumonia infections that were promoted by wearing masks.
They found school closure reduced mortality by 4.4%.
Lockdowns and limited gatherings, however, actually modestly increased mortality from 0.6% to 1.6%.
Although this appears counterintuitive, it could be the result of an asymptomatic infected being isolated at home, where infected family members with a high viral node could be affected.
The Economist mooted some explanation for the limited effect.
Public appetite was low for following costly disease protection efforts, especially when transmission was low.
Mandates were unable to regulate all areas alive where infection could occur and unintended consequences, such as isolating an asymptomatic person at home where they could infect others, playing a larger role than expected.
The findings ricocheted around the world.
Conservative outlets covered the findings.
Mainstream media did not.
Some of the most pointed had to do about the definition used.
In a statement on the Science Media Center of British Clearinghouse, Neil Ferguson, whom remember, authored the model that led to the lockdowns in the first place and, in my opinion, has been completely discredited.
Noted that lockdowns vary dramatically among countries.
He also criticizes statistical methods for not taking into account a lagging effect of lockdowns on reduced transmission.
Sammy Byhut, a professor of statistics and public health at Imperial College, by the way, where Neil Ferguson also is located, commented on the issue of what gets categorized as a lockdown and urged caution in interpreting the findings.
The other divine lockdown is the imposition of at least one compulsory non-pharmaceutical intervention.
But that would make mask-wearing policy a lockdown.
Obviously some room for debate here, Joe, but I think overall they've got it right.
Yours.
Yeah, well, turns out last week, the scarf lady, Ms.
Bricks, decided that they just made up the social distancing and they just made up the mask requirements, and she said they didn't have any basis for either one of them, so they just went ahead and did it anyway.
Great article at Principia Scientific.
Ministers do not know if COVID travel rules worked, report finds.
This is in the UK where they put people in quarantine hotels and they spent five hundred seven hundred and fifty seven million pounds to be able to keep people from breathing on other people and keep those cooties from getting around.
Pretty much ridiculous.
You've got a great series of stuff that you have posted at your BitChute channel.
Fall of the Cabal, sequel episode 19 and 20.
And she goes into all of the previous failures of Niels Ferguson and why, after a dozen different previous failures of his quote predictions, this man was listened to at all.
It's because He gave them the answer that they wanted in the answer that they'd already predetermined.
So they didn't need any actual evidence about what the effects were going to be or what the impacts were going to be.
They just already made up their mind.
This is the trauma based mind control that we want to inflict on humanity.
And we are the all powerful government.
And we will do that.
And there again, I was listening to the pre-show on Saturday when we interviewed a Swedish scientist.
Anders Norfeld was absolutely great, but I highly recommend Free Nation by Rodney Atkinson.
And listen to an interview with Jeremy Nell on TNT Radio because it's a great presentation.
Very nice.
Very nice, Joe.
Meanwhile, the government is developing a solar geoengineering research plan right up your alley, my friend.
The basic idea is we might deliberately tweak the climate in ways to release more heat into space, cooling an otherwise warming planet.
Solar geoengineering encompasses a range of different approaches.
The one attracting the most attention is using planes or balloons to disperse tiny particles in the stratosphere, which would, in theory, reflect back enough sunlight to ease warming, mimicking the effect of massive volcanic eruptions in the past.
Some research groups have also explored whether releasing certain particles could break up cirrus clouds, which trap heat against the Earth or make low-lying marine clouds more reflective.
The 2022 Federal Appropriations Act, in partnership with NASA, is directing its Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a cross-agency group to coordinate research on such climate interventions.
The measure calls to create a research framework to provide guidance on transparency, engagement, and risk management for publicly funded work in solar geoengineering.
Geoengineering was long taboo among scientists.
Some argue it should remain as such.
Their question about potential environmental side effects concerns the impacts will be felt unevenly in different parts of the globe.
It's not clear how the world will grapple with tricky questions regarding global governments.
Who should make the decisions on whether to boy such powerful tools?
What global average temperature we should aim for?
Some feel geoengineering is too dangerous to even try or investigate.
Just talking about a possibility could make the need to address the underlying causes of climate change feel less urgent.
I believe it's already at work.
I believe we've already had geoengineering to manipulate the weather, creating typhoons, hurricanes, droughts, massive rain and flood.
It's outrageous.
It's been going on constantly over the last decade at the very least.
As the threat of global change grows and major nations fail to make rapid progress on emissions, more researchers, universities, and nations are seriously exploring the potential.
Proponents of geoengineering research, while stressing cutting emissions must remain the highest priority, say we should explore these possibilities because they may meaningfully reduce the danger of climate change.
They note that as heat waves, droughts, famines, wildfires, and other extreme events become more common, these sorts may be among the few means available to rapidly ease widespread human suffering or ecological calamities.
As you have so brilliantly observed, however, Joe, in order for there to be a causal relation, there must be a correlation between two factors.
Vaccination and autism are positively correlated.
The more vaccine, the more autism.
The less vaccine, the less autism.
But In the case of atmospheric CO2 and global temperature, there is no correlation witnessed over 600 million years.
With no correlation, there can be no causation.
Moreover, while there are cyclic periods of greater warming and greater cooling on Earth, They're totally unrelated to CO2, which in fact has foreknown ways to cool Earth's climate and is, of course, indispensable to life on Earth, where plants convert CO2 into oxygen, a necessity for living things.
Joe, this is right up your alley, my friend.
Yes, the Four Known Scientific Ways that Carbon Dioxide Cools the Earth was written by Ph.D.
chemical engineer Pierre Latour.
It's posted at Principia Scientific.
Absolutely recommend it.
No gas molecule can capture, store, redirect, or amplify radiant energy photons that are moving at the speed of light.
All they do is at certain resonant frequencies, they pick up a little bit of photon that's moving, either coming from the sun as TOA, top of atmosphere radiation, and then they absorb over 30 percent of that before it ever hits the earth, which is total solar insulation, TSI, and that warms the surface of the earth, and then the earth radiates back
Outgoing Long Wave Radiation, OLR, but in both cases the atmosphere cools incoming energy by absorbing and re-radiating a longer wavelength lower energy photon and then it delays cooling at night.
So bottom line is the atmosphere keeps us from being as hot as the equator at the moon During the day and keeps us from being as cold at the equator of the moon during the night.
And so bottom line is the atmosphere has absolutely no mechanism to warm the planet at all.
And I've written a dozen articles just on this particular subject and it was one of the things that we discussed with our Anders Norfeld interview on TNT radio.
Jim and I have a great program that's AGW1-9, but I can't seem to find it easily in the BitChute search column.
The easiest way I can find it is to go to Joe Olson, J-O-E-O-L-S-O-N, put that in the search engine, And then punch newest, because we did HE number 1 in January of this year, and we're already up to number 9, and number 10 is going to include proxy data, because you're not going to believe all the phony baloney things that they use to tell you, give you the past climate conditions.
Oh, it tells you everything.
You know, you can look at a tree ring and tell what the temperature was 5,000 years ago.
No, I'm afraid not.
It's crazy.
I suspect if you go to my Bitchu channel, you can put in the search bar, climate change, Joe Olson, and they'll all pop up.
That would be my recommendation.
But Joe, you've offered another way to find it.
Thank you so much.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.

Here we have G. Stewart at Ulbrichter.
Dear Dr. Fetzer, excellent chart of Canadian deaths without vaccinations as vaccines were.
Help us to correct a CDC, WHO, and local health authority big mistake as background.
Do you agree that if an MD or attorney openly and publicly challenges health authority mandates, they can lose their license?
The answer is yes.
This neuters two of the strongest advocates from helping get people vaccinated.
This is because if they challenge the party line as shown below, they lose their jobs.
So what is a health authority blunder that costs people lives?
The blunder is not focusing like a laser on telling them vaccinations work.
In fact, vaccinations are their only hope.
To the excellent extent mass and social distancing are mandated, people die.
How?
Because in the real world, big data with confidence intervals prove they don't work.
Take the case of Ed Zinker of Lakewood, Washington.
Even though being told repeatedly by family and friends to get vaccinated, he would not.
He said he was afraid of the vaccine, but he wore a mask religiously.
He said masks will save me because health officials say masks save lives.
Ed recently died of COVID because health authorities not telling the whole truth and wanted to make people feel good, The worms are eating in, as I taught.
Please stand up as a professional and let's set the record straight.
There's no other salvation than vaccination.
Masks and other mandate diversion kill people.
Now, Joe, this guy seems to be advocating vaccinations, though he's reluctant and opposes lockdown, social distancing, and masks.
But God knows the vaccines are a death jab.
How could anyone agree with that?
Meanwhile, if you go to the Supreme Court docket, check out case number 21-7916.
You'll find my case has been distributed for a conference on September 28, 2022.
That's very significant.
If you track the agenda, not just for paid cases, but for all cases, you have to go through these stages.
Losing litigants, including yours truly, had 90 days to enter a petition.
And the winner could have 30 days to submit a brief in response.
They declined to do so.
The petitioner could reply to a brief, but none was submitted.
Then 30 more days for interest groups to submit an amicus brief, as was done.
Then they go to the Chief Justice, drafting an initial discussion list and distribute it to the rest of the Chambers.
For members of the CERT pool, the Clerk of the Court randomly assigns a petition to the participating Chambers and within the Chambers, randomly assigned to Clerks.
Two more weeks.
Clerks submit memos to the Chief Justice, who then distributes the completed memos to all the participating Chambers within each Justice's Chamber.
Clerks review and mark up the memos with additional comments and recommendations.
Then, the clerk of the court collects all the documents and distributes them to the justice chambers, associate judges, and places cases on the discuss list.
Any that fail to make the list are summarily denied in the lower court ruling stance.
I am past that stage.
Now, all the justices meet in a private conference where they vote to either grant or deny certiorari.
Four votes are necessary in order for a case to proceed to the merit stage.
That is where I am.
It will occur on September 28.
Notice how close I am, therefore, to success.
I truly believe if they were going to drop my case, they could have done so effortlessly along the way.
I believe this means it's going to move forward.
Joe, your thoughts?
Your final thoughts?
My final thoughts, yes.
Well, best wishes on your Supreme Court, and you are so much further than anybody could have guessed that you could have gotten, so I'm very optimistic at this point.
The reason I was a little sketchy on today's program material is because I spent hours and hours preparing for two interviews that we were having this morning from 11 till 1 Central Time.
One of them was with Michael Ogden.
Who's got a new book out called World of Lies and that'll be posted and basically he said there's no such thing as nukes and he also said yes and he also said the world is flat and so he's defending both of those positions.
I'm as much of a conspiracy theorist as you're going to find but I don't believe in any conspiracy theory just because it opposes quote orthodoxy.
I only oppose the things that there's empirical evidence That the orthodoxy is 100% lies, and so we had a lively discussion for two hours on nuclear weapons and and fission and structure of the universe, but we never did get around to talking about flat earth, and that was the one that I was going to bring up.
Oh, let's see.
Copernicus, Kepler, Tycho Bray, Galileo, Gordino, Bruno, and my favorite, John Harrison, the guy that invented the chronometer so you could learn how to do latitude.
So sometime in the future, Jim and I will do an episode with somebody and we will completely debunk anybody that's of the flat earth persuasion because we don't need to have that kind of conspiracy tainting the other conspiracies that are very real.
You're doing such a marvelous job as you've done here today.
Yes, I invited Michael Ogden on.
I think he's got a pretty good book, but there are three chapters to which I take exception.
The two that Joe has mentioned about flat Earth and about denying nukes, and another on evolution.
I squeezed a few words in on evolution where I have a book of my own you can download online.
Evolution, Mentality, and Morality.
Can Religion be Reconciled with Science?
2007.
It was never actually published in that form, which actually is the form in which it ought to have been published, but rather divided into two books, one entitled The Evolution of Intelligence, Are Humans the Only Animals with Minds?, and the other, Render Unto Darwin, The Religious Rights War Against Science.
I recommend all of the above.
Joe and I are strongly dedicated to improving scientific understanding among the American people.
The public alas may be the most scientifically illiterate in the history of mankind.
There are multiple reasons for that, including dumbing down on public education.
And the failure of the media to show the least interest in scientific aspects of any issue, no doubt because more often than not it undermines their political campaign and ideology, which are endlessly repeating and promoting on behalf today of the Democrats who have gone stark, raving mad, full communist socialists,
And where I believe they are actually gonna try to use Kevin Newsome, gruesome Newsome, who's widely despising California, to save their bacon.
I predict it ain't gonna work, but it won't be for lack of trying.
Thank you for being with us today.
Spend as much time as you can with your friends, your neighbors, and people you love.
We do not know how much time we have left.
