Biden Administration to Fund Distribution of Crack Pipes as Part of, “Advancing Racial Equity”
February 8th, 2022The behavioral health disparity impact statement is in alignment with the expectations related to Executive Order 13985 “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.”
Via: Daily Mail:
President Biden’s Health and Human Services department (HHS) is finalizing funding to dole out crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its ‘Harm Reduction Plan.’
The $30 million grant program, which accepted applications until Monday and will begin doling out money in May, intends to provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to make drug use safer, to advance ‘racial equity.’
Included in the grant is money to purchase ‘safe smoking kits/supplies.’ A spokesperson for HHS told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits could be pipes for users to smoke substances like crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine, or ‘any illicit substance.’
HHS said that the kits will serve to limit the risk of infection – typically users smoke out of glass pipes which can lead to cuts and sores that become infected with diseases like Hepatitis-C.
Handing out pipes is also intended to prompt users to smoke rather than inject themselves with some substances, like meth, as injection is far riskier.
Applicants for the program get priority if they serve ‘underserved communities,’ such as African Americans or Native Americans, or LGBTQ people.

Corona Investigative Committee: Peoples’ Court of Public Opinion
February 6th, 2022Note: This is a public presentation, not a legal proceeding in any court, as stated in the press release:
This investigation is of the people, by the people and for the people and will be referred to as the ‘Peoples’ Court of Public Opinion. Having been unable to find a court to hear the actual evidence in the current system’s courts of law, we are undertaking this proceeding outside of the current system and based on natural law. This, in turn is founded on the firm belief that every person can easily distinguish between good and evil, and between right and wrong.

Convoy 2022 NZ
February 5th, 2022There is a truck (and any other vehicle) protest happening in New Zealand now.

This is mostly being ignored by the North Korean style state sponsored media in New Zealand.
Via: Daily Telegraph:
The focus of the protest is set out in its Mission Statement, which contains five points:
Stop all mandates and end all COVID-19 imposed restrictions.
Reverse COVID-19 introducted legislation and cease all proposed legislation.
The immediate restoration of inalienable human rights.
Medical professionals to follow the principles in the NZMA Code of Ethics.
All media to have freedom without censorship.
Everyone is welcome to join the convoy – trucks, cars, tractors and bikes.
There are two convoys – one in the North Island, one in the South Island, but within each island there’s different routes to ensure as much of the population has a chance to join as possible.
CDC Admits Natural Immunity Trumps Vaccine Immunity – 5 Months After Touting Vaccines as Superior
February 4th, 2022Via: The Defender:
A Jan. 19 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed natural immunity against COVID was at least three times as effective as vaccination alone at preventing people from becoming infected with the Delta variant.
Overall, the study showed natural immunity outperformed vaccine immunity when it came to preventing infection and hospitalization from Delta.
The results contradicted a previous CDC study, published in August 2021, which concluded vaccination was better than natural immunity. The CDC issued a media statement about the August study, which was widely covered by mainstream press.
When a much larger Israeli study was published two weeks later, finding the opposite, the CDC did not offer any comment or analysis on the new data.
“The CDC is now finally revising its position five months later,” said Dr. Madhava Setty, senior science editor for The Defender. “This is a major problem with the CDC and its data. They have been opaque and late to the game from the beginning.”
12 Countries Roll Back COVID Restrictions, Israel Scraps ‘Green Pass’
February 4th, 2022Via: The Defender:
Europe is accelerating steps to roll back COVID restrictions as efforts to control the spread of the virus have failed and countries downgrade the threat posed by SARS-CoV-2.
Sweden and Switzerland joined Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, France and the UK in announcing they will lift COVID restrictions and open up their countries.
Top Israeli officials also announced this week they are abolishing the country’s “Green Pass” COVID vaccine passport for restaurants, hotels, gyms and theaters.
Coming Soon: Climate Lockdowns?
February 4th, 2022I’ll leave this here, just in case…
Via: The Hill:
The past two years have been a checklist for the worst impulses of government and public sentiment. COVID allowed for supposedly temporary measures to morph into two years of “emergency” restrictions. But what if COVID was only the opening act, and another proclaimed crisis is the main event? Implementing significant but partial restrictions, one by one, in the name of the common good can allow for encompassing government control that results in relatively little backlash. Fear over climate change could lead to long-term soft lockdowns, given the precedent of immense growth of government power and significant support for sweeping state actions.
Israeli Study Offers Strongest Proof Yet of Vitamin D’s Power to Fight COVID
February 4th, 2022One more for your herniating Told-You-So file folder…
Via: Times of Israel:
Israel scientists say they have gathered the most convincing evidence to date that increased vitamin D levels can help COVID-19 patients reduce the risk of serious illness or death.
Researchers from Bar Ilan University and the Galilee Medical Center say that the vitamin has such a strong impact on disease severity that they can predict how people would fare if infected based on nothing more than their ages and vitamin D levels.
Lacking vitamin D significantly increases danger levels, they concluded in newly peer-reviewed research published Thursday in the journal PLOS One.

Ottawa’s chief of police suggested Wednesday that the Canadian Armed Forces might have to be called in to handle the lingering protesters in the Canadian capital.
“This is a national issue, not an Ottawa issue,” Ottawa police Chief Peter Sloly said in a briefing to city councilors. “I am increasingly concerned there is no policing solution to this.”
