Adern aims to begin vaccinating NZ’s ‘entire population’ against Covid-19 in the second half of 2021 – is that all of the consenting?
Pam Vernon, Rangitikei Environmental Health Watch - 6 hours ago
I’m sure Jacinda Adern has said it won’t be mandatory. Sweet mama Jacinda wouldn’t force us to take a vax that’s never been tested properly would she? Surely she won’t violate the Nuremberg code? I expect getting everybody into that dubiously safe fold will be via the travel, work & recreation restrictions we’ve already been … Continue reading Adern aims to begin vaccinating NZ’s ‘entire population’ against Covid-19 in the second half of 2021 – is that all of the consenting? →

F-89 Scorpion: America's Nuclear-Armed Jet Russia Feared
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* These jet fighters were meant to take out hordes of Soviet bombers with nuclear-tipped missiles. They would serve for about twenty years before being replaced by the F-4 Phantom. *Here's What You Need to Know*: It was a crazy idea, but also one typical of the Cold War. The all-weather, twin-engine Northrop F-89 Scorpion was the first jet-powered interceptor aircraft designed specifically for that role to enter service with the Air Defense Command. The two-seat aircraft had a radar operator guide the pilot, which enabled the F-89 to locate, inter...
When the Elderly and Frail Die After Receiving the COVID Vaccine
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 5 hours ago
The doctors quoted in this CNN article are obviously worried about people dying as a result of the vaccine. They know it’s going to happen. They’re thinking out loud about what they can do to stem the tide of public outrage—particularly from the families of those who die. The best idea they can come up with is: “these people die anyway.” I remind readers that, for months, I’ve been reporting on the huge percentage of all so-called COVID deaths that have been occurring among the elderly in nursing homes, in long-term care facilities, in hospitals, in their homes. These people were a...

Why Did Glock Dub Its First Handgun the Glock 17?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* It wasn't because it held 17 rounds in the magazine. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Glock handguns are named neither for the year nor the caliber. For a company that has produced handguns for less than 40 years, the Austrian-based Glock has managed to dominate the pistol market – overshadowing such notable manufacturers as Colt and Smith & Wesson – each founded in the 19th century, as well as the Italian-based Beretta, which was founded in the early 16th century. Glock managed to achieve its success by innovating at a time when the firearms m...
A-1 Skyraider: What Made This Aging Warbird So Successful in Vietnam?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Asia* The A-1 was well-liked by pilots and was great for air support. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The A-1 served well and with distinction. Described as a “flying anachronism,” the single-seat Douglas A-1 Skyraider–affectionately known as the Spads, after the French wood-and-wire World War I fighter–proved that a piston-powered, propeller-driven attack aircraft still had a place in the jet age. The aircraft, which entered service in the late 1940s, provided close-air support for American and South Vietnamese troops during the Vietnam War. What made th...

BRAD RAFFENSPERGER IS SO EVIL HE ... ONCE ASKED CHINESE-AMERICANS TO VOTE FOR HIM!

This is what the right now considers a scandal: In several videos posted to YouTube, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger begged Chinese-Americans to vote for him by mail in his 2015 Georgia House of Representatives race. Raffensperger went on to win this race by 159 votes. The videos, apparently recorded in Raffensperger’s home, seem to be tied to Atlanta 168, a Chinese-American community located in Georgia. Raffensperger is seen in one video begging for at least 100 votes from the Chinese community, specifically suggesting they use absentee voting. “Some of you may be g...
Healthcare Workers in the U.S. Suffer Serious Reactions from Illegal Pfizer Experimental Vaccine – Others Fake Vaccination on TV

The first illegal Pfizer experimental vaccines were rolled out this week.

This is the purest possible bullshit. And it gets worse. This claim was asserted by eminent Canadian military historians despite the fact that, at the time, nobody even mentioned that as a cause for t...

Either Negative Reviews Boost Sales Or They Won't Stop Good Products
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 6 hours ago
A recent computer model finds that it doesn't hurt a product to negative reviews and it may even help. A flawless product does not exist, people are suspicious if they see no bad reviews, and using game theory, the researchers analyzed how negative reviews affect sales. The model had two sets of participants: sellers, who know the true quality of the products they are selling and can selectively publish reviews about it, and buyers, who do not know a product's quality and can be categorized as either 'naïve' or 'rational'. read more

The Case For Forcing A Floor Vote On Medicare For All
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 8 hours ago
On November 27th, YouTube pundit and comedian Jimmy Dore proposed a provocative plan to advance the Medicare for All movement: refuse to re-elect Rep. Nancy Pelosi D-CA as Speaker of the House until she brings Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s Medicare for All bill H.R. 1384 to a floor vote. Because last month’s elections whittled down the Democratic majority in the House, it would take only a handful of Democrats to hold Pelosi’s speakership hostage. The “Squad,” composed of Reps.

America has a Chequered Past in International Environmental Diplomacy
THE HAGUE, Dec 17 (IPS) - When it comes to international environmental diplomacy, America has a chequered past.

Sadly, US positions are not always built on solid political ground at home. Twice, in the climate change process, this has led to the United States forging an agreement, only to then walk away.
