Exposed: Klaus Schwab's School For Covid Dictators, Plan for 'Great Reset' (Videos) How is it that more than 190 governments from all over the world ended up dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in almost exactly the same manner, with lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccination cards now being commonplace everywhere? The answer may lie in the Young Global Leaders school, which was established and managed by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, and that many of today’s prominent political and business ... 6 6 Comment Count

"Bolsonaro's 'Genocidal' Covid Response Has Led to Brazilian Catastrophe" Jair Bolsonaro’s perverse and “genocidal” response to one of the world’s deadliest Covid outbreaks has left Brazil “adrift on an ocean of hunger and disease”, the country’s former president Dilma Rousseff has claimed. Speaking to the Guardian this week – as Brazil’s coronavirus death toll hit devastating new heights, with more than 12,000 deaths in the last three ...

Who Are the "Covid-19 Conspiracy Theorists"? During the first few months of the pandemic, a broad movement coalesced online. At the most extreme end were outright Covid deniers, those who believed that the virus didn’t exist and the pandemic had been fabricated. At the other were Covid sceptics or anti-lockdowners, those who thought that the numbers were exaggerated or that the government had an ulterior motive for restricting freedoms. Over the past year, these v... 16 16 Comment Count

Connecting-the-Dots between Michigan Integrity F Grade & Its Shortest/Harshest Term-Limits, among strictest in America Michigan, a lobbyist paradise: three two-year terms for representatives, and two four-year terms for senators. The article on Michigan’s honor system with no honor refers to lobbying or lobbyists ten times. Term limits would primarily help lobbyists, as the politicians do not have enough experience to know what they are doing while the lobbyists will be showing them the ropes, while paying them to also pull them. ... 2 2 Comment Count

At Last, the Regime that Enabled Amazon's Monopoly Power is Crumbling The legal framework that allowed the creation of Amazon also enabled corporate concentration in every other sector in the economy, from big sectors like airlines, search and social networks to pharmaceuticals, to niche sectors like mail sorting software, mobile home production, private prison phone systems and web domain registration. As Jeff Bezos steps back, or does whatever it is he is doing, we should also recognize that ...

Trump's Parting Gift to Biden: "I've Never Seen a More Toxic Atmosphere in My Lifetime Within the Federal Government" Joe Biden’s transition team had no illusions about the chaos they were inheriting from President Donald Trump. They expected a disorganized government and mismanaged agencies, many of them hollowed out and ignored over the past four years. Hours before they assume office, however, there is a fear among Biden’s team that the roadblocks they encountered during the chaotic transition shielded them from understandi...

If elected GOPhers David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler will be indebted to Super-PACs over the Average Georgian GOP donors gave $95 million to Senate super-PACs and party committee between Election Day and Nov. 23, over four times as much as the $18 million Democrats gave similar groups. The aim of this over 400% advantage is to perpetuate the super-rich low tax rate achieved in the following graphic: In 2018, offshore tax dodges, like those facilitated by Loeffler, cost states $14.2 billion (Georgia $290... 1 1 Comment Count

Could State Legislatures Pick Electors to Vote for Trump? Not Likely. President Trump’s last-ditch efforts to reverse the election seem to come down to a far-fetched scenario, one in which Republican-led state legislatures choose the members of the Electoral College, overturning the will of voters. Could it work? Election law experts are highly skeptical. And leaders of the Republican majorities in legislatures in key states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona and Georgia, told ... 2 2 Comment Count

Nigeria Is Murdering Its Citizens  For years, the name SARS hung in the air here in Nigeria like a putrid fog. SARS, which stood for Special Anti-Robbery Squad, was supposed to be the elite Nigerian police unit dedicated to fighting crime, but it was really a moneymaking terror squad with no accountability. SARS was random, vicious, vilely extortionist. SARS officers would raid bars or stop buses on the road and arbitrarily arrest young men for such crim... 62 62 Comment Count

Why a Herd Immunity Approach to COVID-19 Could Be a Deadly Disaster Proponents of herd immunity have looked to emulate Sweden’s more hands-off approach; unlike most countries in Europe, the Nordic country opted out of a nationwide lockdown and kept most businesses open.  But Sweden’s strategy didn’t entail a total return to normalcy. The Swedish government implemented a ban on gatherings of 50 people or more, and many Swedes voluntarily followed social distancing gu... 8 8 Comment Count

Why the Hell Did Democrats Just Extend the Patriot Act? By tucking the measure into a must-pass bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi forced many members who oppose the Patriot Act to vote in favor of its extension. This is a favorite measure used to give every member the excuse by saying they would have voted it down, but were forced to accept it in order to keep the government “open”.   6 6 Comment Count

Why Restoring the Pre-TCJA State And Local Tax Deduction (SALT) is Vastly Difference than a Full SALT Cap Repeal! Prior the Tax Cut & Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 two IRS provisions capped SALT deductions of high-income taxpayers. These caps were repealed or reduced by TCJA. Since a super-majority of the U.S. House seats flipped by the Democrats in 2018 resulted from voter backlash against the SALT Cap the current Democratic House majority hope to pass a SALT Cap repeal or relief bill this year.
