Public Health Scotland Investigates Rise in Neonatal Infant Deaths but Refuses to Check Vaccination Status of Mothers
Dr. John Campbell recently posted a video summarizing the news regarding the increase in neonatal deaths and Scotland, and Public Health Scotland's (PHS) investigation into these excess deaths. It was published less than a week ago, and at the time of publication today it has over 650,000 views and over 12,000 comments. I am amazed that YouTube has allowed this video to remain up (so far.) While PHS is investigating what might be causing these excess deaths, one thing they are NOT investigating is whether or not the mother was vaccinated with a COVID-19 shot. The Herald Scotland ... read more

Biosignatures: The Case for Nitrous Oxide
[image: Biosignatures: The Case for Nitrous Oxide] *Are we overlooking a potential biosignature? A new study makes the case that nitrous oxide could be a valuable indicator of life on other worlds, and one that can be detected with current and future instrumentation. In today’s essay, Don Wilkins takes a close look at the paper.

A SPORTS GUY MAKES ME WONDER IF THE "DEMOCRATS ARE DOOMED" CONSENSUS NARRATIVE IS WRONG
*The New York Times* has returned to its happy place: *Democrats are doomed.* Republicans are pressing their advantage deep into Democratic territory in the closing stretch of the 2022 campaign, competing for an abundance of House seats amid growing signs that voters are poised to punish President Biden’s party even in the bluest parts of America.... “We thought for a little bit that we could defy gravity, but the reality is setting in,” said Sean McElwee, executive director of Data for Progress, a progressive research and polling firm. We're told that Republicans are on the verge ... read more
New York Judge Strikes Down their Vaccine Mandate
#BREAKING Judge Strikes Down NYC Vaccine Mandate for City Workers. “It’s null and void,” says attorney @ChadLaveglia. “We just defeated the vaccine mandate for every single city employee.” pic.twitter.com/PqqjhfNNCq — NYCforYourself (@nycforyourself) October 24, 2022 Zero Hedge is reporting that "A New York Supreme Court judge on Monday struck down NYC's vaccine mandate for all city workers, finding that the rule was unconstitutional, arbitrary, and capricious.

Our proxy war
We are protecting Ukraine's borders from foreign invaders. It's called a proxy war. Billions of dollars. But we can't (or won't) protect our own borders. Not smart! Many walls could have been built (Congress voted for it in 2006), many border guards could have been trained, many drug cartels and human trafficking war lords could have been blocked for just a fraction of what we've sent to Ukraine. And even then, we were late to the party and ineffective on their border war too! This has leftist doctrine written all over it.

US Waging ‘Unilateral’ Economic And Tech War To Halt China’s Rise
The US government has imposed aggressive sanctions that aim to “kneecap” China’s tech sector and halt the country’s rise, Washington policymakers and industry analysts have admitted. The Joe Biden administration took the extraordinarily aggressive action this October of blocking China from importing most semiconductors, machines to create chips, and supercomputer parts. A former Pentagon official acknowledged that this was a “disproportionate” and “unilateral” attack, amounting to a “form of economic containment.” He said this in an article in Foreign Policy, the magazine of the D... read more
West Must Stop Blocking Negotiations Between Ukraine And Russia
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This war has been horrendous, though it does not compare with the terrible destruction wrought by the US bombardment of Iraq (“shock and awe”) in 2003. In the Gomel region of Belarus that borders Ukraine, Russian and Ukrainian diplomats met on February 28 to begin negotiations toward a ceasefire. These talks fell apart. Then, in early March, the two sides met again in Belarus to hold a second and third round of talks. On March 10, the foreign ministers of Ukraine and Russia met in Antalya, Turkey, and finally, at the end of March, senio... read more
Ukraine Plans Provocation With ‘Dirty Bomb’ Nuclear Warhead
This Monday, October 24, the head of Russia’s nuclear, biological, and chemical protection troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, gave a press conference in which he offered details about Kyiv’s plans to carry out a nuclear provocation. During the press conference, Kirillov said that: The Kyiv regime will launch a provocation by exploding a so-called “dirty bomb”, also known as a low-power nuclear warhead. According to intelligence, two Ukrainian organizations have received direct orders to create the bomb, which is in its final stage. The provocation is aimed at accusing Russi... read more
Who Is This ‘Haiti’ That’s Appealing For Intervention?
Military intervention into Haiti is in the air again. And the East Coast establishment media—which have on occasion remembered that Haiti is a near neighbor and has been ravaged by anti-government demonstrations, a failing economy and gang violence—seem to be breathing a sigh of relief. The Washington Post (10/11/22) ran an editorial: “Yes, Intervene in Haiti—and Push for Democracy.” That followed on the heels of a piece in the other big opinion-maker, the New York Times (10/7/22), whose tall title read: “Haiti Appeals for Armed Intervention and Aid to Quell Chaos.” Without going... read more
Israeli Army Launches Massive Overnight Assault On Nablus
Shortly after midnight on Tuesday, reports began coming out of Nablus that large amounts of Israeli troops were raiding the city and heading downtown towards the Old City of Nablus. Dozens of military jeeps were seen driving down Nablus roads into the city, while Israeli drones could be heard in the skies overhead. Palestinian media reported that snipers were positioned on rooftops surrounding the Old City, while the army deployed other troops to the mountaintops surrounding Nablus.

Policymakers Should Expand Child Tax Credit In Year-End Legislation
The Child Tax Credit expansion drove child poverty sharply downward in 2021. Combined with other relief efforts, the expansion helped lower child poverty by more than 40 percent between 2020 and 2021, reaching a record low of 5.2 percent, Census Bureau data released last week show. The credit’s expansion expired at the end of last year, but policymakers can renew this successful poverty-fighting policy in year-end bipartisan tax legislation. There is pressure on Congress from business interests to delay a corporate tax increase; Congress should not consider any business tax breaks... read more
Hours Into The Job, Rishi Sunak Is Already Facing New Strikes
Spare a thought for new PM Rishi Sunak – or don’t, if you’d prefer. Either way, he’s only hours into the job of prime minster and already facing a new wave of strike action.

UCU members have been striking across 2022 over pay and conditions.
