Why are the World’s Top Vaccine Promoters Frantically Warning About the Frightening Dangers in Developing a Coronavirus Vaccine?
Why are the world’s top vaccine promoters, like Paul Offit and Peter Hotez, frantically warning us about the unique and frightening dangers inherent in developing a coronavirus vaccine?

Bill Gates’ Plan to use Microneedles to Deliver COVID19 Vaccine and Embed Vaccination Status into the Skin
Last year (2019) we published an article about how Bill Gates was working with a group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had developed a method of embedding a person’s vaccination record directly into their skin using a special dye that is invisible to the naked eye.

A skilled nurse or technician is not required to administer the vaccine which also implants the patients vaccination record into their skin like a tattoo, allowin... more »
Roe v. Wade.. and Vaccines
In the year 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a woman’s body is her own and she had the right to choose between aborting her fetus or delivering a live child.

There are several Amendments that declare that people cannot be discriminated against because of their gender. A woman has a right to choose what she does with her body, then a man also has a right … Continue reading →

Over 30% Of US Renters Didn’t Pay April Apartment Rent
Landlords across the country have been left in the lurch after nearly one-third of apartment renters in the US didn't pay any of their April rent during the first week of the month, according to new data from the National Multifamily Housing Council to be released Wednesday. The shocking figure comes as 10 million new unemployment claims were filed in the past three weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the report cited by the Wall Street Journal, just 69% of tenants paid any rent between April 1 and 5 vs. 81% the same week in March and 82% in April 2019. The count inc... more »
COVID-19: Killer Of Black, Brown And Poor Of US And Haiti
We are supposed to be thinking this week about the health disparities in the United States based on race and ethnicity, since the New York Times, Washington Post, National Public Radio, and even USA Today are going on about it. This is the hot topic presumably because of a recent analysis of the demographics of COVID-19 deaths by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Such an analysis, however, cannot be found. Instead, the public health departments of several US states simultaneously published their COVID-19 racial breakdowns. One cannot help but suspect that this o... more »
Striking Employees Reveal Basic Economic Principle That Derails COVID-19 Fight

Nicaragua: US-Backed Opposition Exploits Pandemic To Create Chaos
Managua, Nicaragua - The coronavirus pandemic has paralyzed the global economy, unleashing what is easily the worst crisis since the Great Recession of 2008, if not since the Great Depression of 1929. In Nicaragua, US-backed right-wing forces have exploited the pandemic to try to destabilize the democratically elected government, run by the leftist Sandinista Front (FSLN) and led by the party’s President Daniel Ortega and Vice-President Rosario Murillo. As soon as the Covid-19 crisis hit, the Donald Trump administration took the opportunity to escalate its economic war on Nicaragu... more »
Little Village Covered In Dust During Respiratory Pandemic
Chicago, IL - City officials on Sunday sought to lay the blame for the massive dust cloud that descended on Little Village on a “dishonest” developer that demolished an old coal plant smokestack the day before. But the city had an active role in the demolition, Mayor Lori Lightfoot acknowledged, by approving permits and overseeing the work Saturday. In the midst of managing the city’s battle against the deadly coronavirus “literally robbing people of their ability to breathe,” Lightfoot had to scramble to contain the damage from Saturday’s emergency. Activists had begged the city ... more »

Civil rights pioneer Chief Standing Bear gets a statue in the U.S. Capitol
Chief Standing Bear just wanted to bury his son at home. The teenager, on his deathbed, told his dad he was worried that if his bones were not buried with his ancestors, then he would be alone in the afterlife, according to biographer Stephen Dando-Collins. So in January 1879, Standing Bear left Oklahoma’s Indian Territory for Nebraska with his child’s remains. That act of grief and love set in motion a chain of events that would make Standing Bear a civil rights hero. On Wednesday, he was honored with a statue representing the state of Nebraska in the U.S. Capitol’s National Stat... more »
