Latest Covid Boosters Are Set to Roll Out Before Human Testing Is Completed
August 28th, 2022
Via: Wall Street Journal:
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize new Covid-19 booster shots this week without a staple of its normal decision-making process: data from a study showing whether the shots were safe and worked in humans.
The shots, modified to target the latest versions of the Omicron variant, won’t have finished testing in humans when the FDA makes its decisions.
Pfizer Vaccine Whistleblower Responds to Motion to Dismiss False Claims Suit
August 27th, 2022Via: Epoch Times:
Pfizer cannot use the government as a shield from liability for making false claims about its COVID-19 vaccine, lawyers for a whistleblower argued in response to Pfizer’s motion to dismiss a False Claims Act lawsuit.
“Respondents claim fraudulent certifications, false statements, doctored data, contaminated clinical trials, and firing of whistleblowers can be ignored based on the theory that they contracted their way around the fraud,” lawyers for Brook Jackson, who worked as regional director at one of the clinical trials used to develop the Pfizer vaccine, wrote in their Aug. 22 response.
“A drug company cannot induce the taxpayers to pay billions of dollars for a product,” they countered, “that honest data would show poses more risks than benefits, and that ignores the actual contract and the law itself.”
Jackson’s lawsuit alleges that Pfizer and two of its subcontractors violated the False Claims Act by providing bogus clinical trial results to garner the FDA approval of its COVID-19 vaccine.
Under federal law, individuals can sue on behalf of the government and win treble damages if they can prove an individual or company deliberately lied to the government.
One of Jackson’s attorneys, Warner Mendenhall, told The Epoch Times that the payout could be as much as $3.3 trillion.
“It would be enough to bankrupt Pfizer,” Mendenhall said.
Congress Implies UFOs Have Non-Human Origins
August 27th, 2022Via: The Hill:
Congress, in short, is forcing the government to focus on objects that are not “man-made.”
Imagine that the new UFO office identifies a highly advanced drone flying in sensitive airspace. Under the draft legislation, regardless of the drone’s origin – be it Chinese, Russian or otherwise – the UFO office must immediately stop investigating and hand the case over to another government entity.
This implies that members of the Senate Intelligence Committee believe (on a unanimous, bipartisan basis) that some UFOs have non-human origins. After all, why would Congress establish and task a powerful new office with investigating non-“man-made” UFOs if such objects did not exist?

T-Mobile Will Provide Mobile Phone Services Over SpaceX Starlink Satellite Network
August 26th, 2022It will be a low bandwidth option for when there is no terrestrial mobile network available. It will use existing phones.
Via: Ars Technica:
SpaceX and T-Mobile announced an ambitious plan on Thursday evening to provide ubiquitous connectivity from space to anyone with a cell phone.
The project would pair SpaceX’s Starlink satellite technology with the second-largest wireless carrier in the United States, T-Mobile US, and its mid-band spectrum, mobile network, and large customer base.
Delivering space-to-ground Internet to mobile phones will require SpaceX to finalize development of its second generation of Starlink satellites. These will be significantly larger than the current ones, which have a mass of about 295 kg. SpaceX founder and chief engineer Elon Musk said the project could enter “beta service” before the end of 2023.
Reuters: “Forget Showering, It’s Eat or Heat for Shocked Europeans Hit by Energy Crisis”
August 26th, 2022Via: Reuters:
The benchmark European gas price has soared 550% in the past 12 months. The cost of energy for British consumers will rise by 80% from October, regulator Ofgem said on Friday, taking average annual household bills to 3,549 pounds ($4,188).
…
This winter, Britons will spend an average 10% of their household income on gas, electricity and other heating fuels as well as domestic vehicle fuels, mainly petrol and diesel, twice the amount in 2021, according to Carbon Brief’s calculations of official data.
This makes the current energy crisis more severe than those of the 1970s and 1980s.
World Economic Forum: “Technology Will Become More Intertwined With The Body In The Form Of Implants”
August 26th, 2022Mmm hmm.
Via: The Defender:
Claiming “augmented reality” technology “has the ability to transform society and individual lives,” the World Economic Forum (WEF) recently suggested there are “solid,” “rational” and “ethical” reasons to consider implanting children with microchips.
According to an article published this month on the WEF website, “Implant technologies could become the norm in the future” and they “form part of a natural evolution that wearables once underwent.”
The article’s author, Kathleen Philips, said there are “compelling” arguments in favor of microchipping humans.
For example, implant technologies could supplant the role currently played by ingestible pharmaceutical products, could help dyslexic children or could “sniff out” food allergens or illnesses such as COVID-19, Philips said.
The potential benefits of these “amazing technologies,” Philips said, are endless — limited only by “ethical arguments” rather than “scientific capacity.”
Philips is vice president of research and development for imec, a Belgian company that describes itself as “the world-leading R&D and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital electronics.”
Jared Kushner Trying to Keep in Shape Because He Might One Day Become Immortal
August 26th, 2022Via: Business Insider:
Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, said during a livestream this week that he was keeping trim in the event that medical science allows him to “live forever.”
During the stream, Kushner said that he had made it a “priority” to exercise more after leaving the White House, where he served as a senior adviser to Trump.
“I think that there’s a good probability that my generation is, hopefully with the advances in science, is either the first generation to live forever or the last generation that’s going to die,” Kushner said. “So we need to keep ourselves in pretty good shape.”
Epstein’s Close Friend, Steven Hoffenberg, Found Dead in Apartment
August 26th, 2022Via: Newsweek:
Steven Hoffenberg, a businessman who served 18 years in prison and one of Jeffrey Epstein’s close friends, was found dead in his Connecticut apartment Tuesday, although a positive identification can’t be made yet due to the body’s state of decomposition.
Epstein, a financier and sex offender who was awaiting trial on charges of child sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, was found hanged in his New York City prison cell in 2019.
Police were called to Hoffenberg’s apartment Tuesday night for a requested welfare check, according to BNO News. Responding officers found the decomposing body of a white male. After an autopsy, the body was believed to be Hoffenberg. It is unknown when he died. The cause of death is pending toxicology results, but no signs of trauma were discovered.
…
Hoffenberg, 77, was the latest of several Epstein associates found dead. French modeling scout Jean-Luc Brunel died by suicide in his prison cell this year in Paris. Brunel was also found hanged, while awaiting trial on charges of raping minors and sexual harassment. American Military News reported in June that Mark Middleton, a former special advisor to President Bill Clinton with ties to Epstein, was found dead in May. Middleton’s death also was ruled a suicide. He was found hanged from a tree with a shotgun wound in his chest.
