Looks like the US is planning ts own Freedom Convoy...

American truckers are planning the Convoy to DC 2022 after seeing what Canadian Truckers Freedom Convoy has done in Canada and the U.S-Canada border. This Freedom Convoy is tentatively planned for March 2022.

The Convoy to DC 2022 will be very similar to the Canadian Truckers Freedom Convoy but the one major difference will be the sheer size. Lets look at the numbers. Canada has between 35,000 - 60,000 owner operators nationwide. The U.S. by contrast has over 350,000 owner operator truck drivers and that number may be considerably higher when considering small carriers and those who refer to themselves as owner operator truckers.

This is because there are over 500,000 trucking companies in the United States and 80% of them are considered small trucking companies with fleet sizes of 6 trucks or less. With over 2,000,000 semi trucks on the road in the U.S., we can know one thing for sure, the American Convoy to DC will be sight to be seen and not easily forgotten.

Until very recently, there was a very large Facebook Group called Convoy to DC 2022 with over 130,000 members but unfortunately Facebook removed the group for one reason or another and recently news came out that the Biden Administration is doing everything it can to prevent this Freedom Convoy from happening.

The American Trucker Convoy to DC is supposed to start in California and go east from there all the way to Washington, DC and will likely take Interstate-40 since other routes may not be very practical depending on weather conditions.

It can be said that the truckers will take all the necessary time to make sure their demands are met. At the very least, they will take Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve and ask the State and Federal Governments to comply, so that things can get back to normal. After all, we're all in this together!

I continue to think omicron is providing natural immunity faster than TPTB expected. I think that's why Turdeau won't rescind the mandates. To me this makes it obvious it is about control, not public health!

What's on your mind?

I'm glad to hear the US truckers may follow suit. This rant by Russel Brand is pretty good.

My main concern is the unknown future effects of these experimental drugs on the children.
As well as the masking effects on children's psychological and social developments.
I believe the health authorities have not taken enough of the related repercussions of the
lockdowns, mandates, and restrictions into account during this flu response.

Thanks for posting.

Apply this chart to the government; they are doing all 15 = We are being abused governments world wide
Dylan Eleven | Truth11.com

This chart was made for relationships to help people see when they are being abused. When you are in a relationship with someone you love and you think they love you too it is hard to see sometimes if you are being abused by your partner.

When we have a friend or are in the position ourselves of being abused, if we reviewed this chart, and found some or all of the signs to be present in the relationship, the obvious consensus would be you/they are in an abusive relationship and the solution is to get out!

Now apply the chart to the relationship we have with the government, no matter what country you are in and see how many signs are present that the government is abusing us. Where I live it is all 15 out of 15.

The solution is clear. We need out of the relation with our abusive government.

They do not represent the people. They abuse them.

Time to get out. Or more specifically; time to get them out.

California says most halted disability claims are fraudulent

January 28, 2022

SACRAMENTO — After suspending 345,000 disability checks because of fraud concerns, California officials on Thursday confirmed nearly all of those suspected claims were associated with criminals trying to trick the state into paying them.

The Employment Development Department announced earlier this month that it had halted payments on those 345,000 disability claims associated with 27,000 suspicious doctors. On Thursday, the department announced it had verified the identity of just 485 of those doctors — meaning about 98% of them are likely fraudulent.

“The few providers that were not fraud — but instead victims of identity theft — are completing verification along with their patients to then resume certifying claims,” the department said in a news release.

Johns Hopkins University study finds lockdowns only reduced COVID deaths by 0.2%
Feb 04, 2022

BALTIMORE — A new study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University reveals COVID lockdowns prevented only a small number of deaths caused by the virus.

The authors reviewed 24 separate studies and broke them into three groups: Lockdown Stringency Index Studies, Shelter-In-Place Order Studies, and Specific Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention Studies.

An analysis of each found "that lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality."
...
The numbers suggest lockdowns in Europe and the United States reduced the COVID-19 mortality rate by only an average of 0.2%.

Shelter-In-Place orders didn't fare much better, as they only reduced deaths by an average of 2.9%.

Researchers did find that lockdown orders caused enormous economic and social costs wherever they were implemented.

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

@Lookout @Lookout I was very disappointed in Dr John C yesterday. I watched a video from him with a title something like "India disappointed with Ivermectin". It was a very strange style of video for him. He usually is warm and sincere and presents things with incredible care for details. Using data from sources that he links to. And always adding caveats where needed- like "that appears to be what the data shows now" or "that is what this particular source appears to show", and qualifying statements about things like Vitamin D or zinc, "the effectiveness is only if this regimen is started well in advance of infection".
In this video he opened with a s#it eating grin. Both he and his guest (a Dr from Mumbai) had an odd mischevious sense about them. John asked the Dr about his experience treating critically ill patients. The challenge of deciding who might get treatment and who they had to turn down when beds were full and ventilators in short supply. This part of the conversation was serious and a little sad. But then they went back to their sly mischievous style. In the entire 27 minute video only about one minute was about Ivermectin. Paraphrasing, the doc said that they were no longer prescribing Iv as they had not found it useful. NO CAVEATS that Iv is most useful as a preventative. It has almost no use at all once someone is ready for a ventilator. Not even the most enthusiastic supporter of Iv has ever made the claim that it was statistically significantly helpful once you were on a ventilator. Surely there are some anecdotal stories of success at this point, but very little in the way of data and studies supporting its use once you are already practically dead.
The title of the video was misinforming click bait.
John actually used the phrase "what is your intuition" about the use of Iv!
No data to support this.
No caveat that Iv is best used as a prophylactic.

How is it that you can disparage a product with no data. But have 6 out of 7 meta analysis supporting you isn't enough to talk it up without risk of censorship.

I believe that will be the last video I ever watch of his.
Very very disappointing.

India's Ivermectin Blackout - Part III: The Lesson of Kerala

The New York Times reported India’s colossal drop in COVID cases was unexplainable, while the BBC declared that Kerala’s rise was also a mystery. While new cases of COVID in Uttar Pradesh are rare as million-dollar lottery tickets, in Kerala, a tiny state located in southern India, new daily cases are the same as the United States, nearly one case per thousand. Yet, as we have seen in this series, there has been a curious media blackout on India’s overall success against COVID.
...
"Kerala has been reporting over 22,000 new COVID infections in the last three days. No other state in India is even close to the 10,000 mark. The COVID conundrum in the southern state has led to several questions, with no certain answers."
...
The Times of India published this statement on July 29. Kerala has continued to have the majority of new daily cases and almost 25% of India's daily deaths despite a population of 34 million, less than 3% of India's total population.

On August 15, Kerala accounted for 18,582 of India's 32,937 new cases and 102 of India's 417 new deaths. By contrast, the Ivermectin-using state of Delhi, with nearly the same population size, recorded only 53 new cases and ZERO deaths. In comparison, Uttar Pradesh, with almost eight times as many inhabitants, had only 30 new cases and ONE death.

Kerala had 619 times as many new cases as Uttar Pradesh and over 100 times as many deaths.

So what could Kerala be doing wrong?

Hint: Over-reliance on vaccines and under-reliance on Ivermectin.
...

Ivermectin was banned in provinces where Modi's government is in control. These are noted for their high vaccination AND death rates. It is extremely difficult to get honest reporting from a state controlled media (just as it is in the US).

Hi LO! How ya doin'? Hope all is well!

Been too busy to keep up lately. But as I understand the Joe Rogan broo-ha-ha... Some former anti-establishment free speech advocates like Neil Young, Steve Stills, and David Crosby that used to stick needles full of heroin in the arms, want everyone to shut up and do what the establishment says, stick a needle in us, and censor us if we question it? Got it. So sad to see. There are so many good things they could advocate for that would be of benefit. I would have guessed they would have seen the needle and the damage done.

We've been pretty cold here, some teens, single digit chills. Every year I age my zone of pleasant temperature tolerance shrinks about a degree on each end. Worst winter in twenty for birds here. Is it no food crops due to drought, or as many suggest, the big freeze last year this time.

@Lookout Hi LO,

Fall is the best season for birding in general IMHO. But, the breeders are gone or on their way out. Big difference too between Sept. when the last few of many species are still around, and Oct. when they are in Mexico or further south. So the neotropical migrants like warblers, vireros, thrushes, tanagers and such will be fewer in fall compared to spring and summer. All the resident non-migratory species will be around all the time. But some fancy stuff that is only there in the nesting season will be gone. Colima Warbler and Lucifer Hummingbird in particular, Big Bend's two flagship bird species. Almost all birders that go to Big Bend are looking primarily for those two species. Which are only present March to July or so.

During migration you want a light rain overnight to knock the migrants down. I have had some outstanding days in later Sept. in west Texas after an overnight shower. Oct. can be great too. The Davis Mtns. are also awesome out there, with pine forest you can drive to at elevation, an observatory, etc. In Big Bend you have to hike up a trail into the Chisos Mtns. to get to pine forest. 'The basin' where Chisos Lodge and a campground is, is a great place for a base, as is Rio Grande Village, and Santa Elena Canyon is a must see walk.

@NYCVG all supplies to Ottawa where many "government officials"
reside. That's what makes the trucker convoy/protest so
powerful, no one in Ottawa let alone the country is getting
what they need. Wink

It is quite the happening. Here's a taste.

by Turdeau? Seems so. It continues to be amazing to me. A powerful movement.

Lots of protest around Europe, and I even saw a Mexican convoy including fire trucks. It is (and needs to be) global.

Thanks you two for being great sources of info. Keep it coming.

These are the doctors Peter McCullough introduced to us yesterday. Tonight they joined the Press Event.

Main portion of the Presser concerned the Ottawa Police confiscating fuel. According to the speakers, this will not affect the Convoyat all. Just as was asserted earlier today, the Truckers will find a way to get whatever they need.

One of the doctors was more fiery. He called vaccinating our kids, "Child Sacrifice," and pointed out that it did not work for the Aztec or for tribes that wanted rain.

We have been on a confusing ride for the last two years. My personal frustration has been most acute when facing the whirligig of shifting rationales and contradictory claims like vaccines simultaneously keep you from being infected while also reducing your symptoms when you get infected. Close behind is the weaseling bibble babble that tries to rationalize non sequiturs like that rap with numbers and comparable percentages that do not even try to defend the original lie about preventing infection.

The result of all this science inflected bullshit has been mass confusion and extreme polarization of world views.

The Convoys cut through all the crap and raise one and only one issue -- stop the mandates.

Instead of the Home Team explaining to a confused citizenry why the mandates are necessary, we see a coordinated political attack on the personalities driving those trucks. The choice now is clarified. You can believe the authorities are correct in mandating vaccination. Or you can disagree. Call it a scientific debate if you want to, but the question is the same. And if science cannot explain itself to the truck driver's satisfaction, the confrontation continues.

Here is a summary of the argument at this point.
.

Truckers:

Stop the mandates. Period.

.
.

Main Stream Media and the Canadian Government:

The battle is joined between the Legions of Science against the Idiot Horde of Anti-Vaxxers. The future of civilization is at stake as willful ignorance declares war against scientific truth. If these organized lunatics fulfill their utterly evil ambitions, billions will die horrible unvaccinated deaths and the fiber of civilization will unravel as racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-hostile, antisemite, climate change denying, fascist truck drivers and their Russian handlers have one ultimate goal – destroying American Democracy.

So we have to let them choose their fate – shut up and accept the necessity for universal vaccination, or, forfeit citizenship and accept the consequences of being a terrorist.

.

One side is clearly pushing conspiracy theory and the other side is sticking to a question of public policy. As we used to say in the labor movement, Which Side Are You On?
