*Kalla huvuden och varma hjärtan. Hedra våra förfäder och gör dem stolta. För kom ihåg, de har offrat och lidit långt mer än vi kan föreställa oss för att ge oss de friheter vi fram tills nu har kunnat åtnjuta. Genom att avsluta dessa lurendrejerier och sätta ett stopp för det manipulerande av nationer utförda av den onda kulten kommer vi skapa en bättre morgondag för våra efterkommande och genom detta, så kommer de en dag hedra oss för vårt lidande och de uppoffringar vi gjorde för dem för att försäkra dem om, inte bara en bättre framtid, utan en framtid fri från slaveri och med ...

Pamiętajcie, że poświęcili i cierpieli znacznie więcej, niż mogę sobie wyobrazić, aby dać nam te wolności, którymi cieszyliśmy się do tej pory. Kończąc z tymi oszustwami i kładąc kres manipulowaniu narodami przez zły kult, uczynimy lepsze jutro dla naszych potomków, a czyniąc to, pewnego dnia będą oni czcić nasze cierpienia i poświęcenia, które dla nich uczyniliśmy, aby zapewnić im nie tylko lepszą przyszłość, ale także wolną od zniewolenia i z nienaruszoną ludzkością.* *© **2021 M.N.

Outdated Carbon Policies Threaten Climate Change Efforts
Mark Maslin, Simon Lewis, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Mark Maslin, Simon Lewis* *Climate Change, * The carbon offset market looks set to grow, but this might not actually reduce emissions. French global energy giant Total recently announced it had delivered its first shipment of “carbon neutral liquid natural gas”. Natural gas is, of course, a fossil fuel and so can’t itself be carbon neutral. Instead, emissions from transporting the cargo were partly “offset” by investing in a wind farm in China. But here’s the problem: that wind farm has been operating since 2011 and has already issued more than 2 million tonnes of these so-call...

Is The U.S. Economy About To Boom In 2021?
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 22 hours ago
*WNU Editor*: According to this AP columnist, he is predicting that the US economy is going to boom because of President Biden and his policies ....* Biden’s test: Engineering economic boom in a partisan divide *(Josh Boak, AP). What's my take. Helicopter money from government will always initiate a boom in the beginning, but in the end it does not create wealth or prosperity. I am old enough to have seen this act play out many times in many countries, and it never works. But according to the AP and Biden's economic team, the reason why such measures did not work in the past ...

Vaccines Alone Aren't Enough to Eradicate a Virus
Caitjan Gainty, Agnes Arnold-Forster, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Caitjan Gainty, Agnes Arnold-Forster* *Coronavirus, * The history of smallpox eradication makes it apparent that high-tech vaccinations only work when they are effectively combined with low-tech public health strategies. Smallpox killed countless millions – 300 million people in the 20th century alone – before it was finally declared eradicated on May 8 1980. It was a momentous day, marking what the current director general of the World Health Organization, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, called the greatest “public health triumph in world history”. Smallpox, as one researcher h...

We CAN Defeat These Predatory, Anti-American Corporations and Here is How
Unknown, Table Of Wisdom.com - 1 day ago
Liberty loving Americans are longing to “do something” honorable and effective in this war against our liberty by the Marxist Left. Since the election fraud took place, reconciling the empirical evidence with the surrender of free and fair elections by the derelict Supreme Court has been difficult. Having heard so many longing for direction on what we can actually do about this now prompts me to humbly share some thoughts on how we can overcome the overwhelming onslaught by predatory corporations run by reprobate CEOs. *Things that must be done* *STOP searching on Google*.

No, Twitter is not Censoring Donald Trump
Katharine Gelber, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Katharine Gelber* *Politics, * There is no free speech argument in existence that suggests an incitement of lawlessness and violence is protected speech. The recent storming of the US Capitol has led a number of social media platforms to remove President Donald Trump’s account. In the case of Twitter, the ban is permanent. Others, like Facebook, have taken him offline until after President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next week. This has led to a flurry of commentary in the Australian media about “free speech”. Treasurer Josh Frydenburg has said he is “uncomfortable” with Twi...

Does Reopening Schools Spread COVID-19? It's Complicated
Scott A Imberman, Dan Goldhaber, Katharine O. Strunk, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Scott A Imberman, Dan Goldhaber, Katharine O. Strunk* *Coronavirus, The Americas* Coronavirus very likely does transmit in schools to some degree. But the spread of COVID-19 there may simply reflect what’s going on in the surrounding community. The big idea: We found that schools can reopen for in-person instruction without further spreading COVID-19 in nearby communities if the number of people with the disease is relatively low. But if there are more than 21 cases per 100,000 people, COVID-19 spread may increase. To reach this conclusion, we used data from September through De...
