T. Belman. This was posted a month ago and the arrests it contemplated didn’t happen on Inauguration Day. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t happen soon. Be sure to listen carefully to this starting at 12 minutes. FEMA is still in charge. As I understand it, only the Joint Chiefs of Staff can end the emergency, not the President. If FEMA determines that Biden is an illegitimate President, they don’t have to follow his orders. All the evidence of fraud has been given to them and they have evaluated it. They are ready to move if they so choose, all according to the Constitution.

Thus if there is salvation to be had, it will come from the military who will declare that Biden was fraudulently elected. In such event, FEMA will be the interim government until such time as they either affirm Trump the victor or hold a new election for the presidency.

The only thing Biden did to prevent this was to appoint Gen Austin as the Secretary of Defense. But he can’t do it by himself.

T. Belman. Until such time as electoral fraud is proven, we shouldn’t think that the military coup in Myanmar was necessitated by the same fraud as the US experienced.

A senior polling officer says arrests part of military’s attempt to discredit vote

By Emanuel Stoakes, Michael Safi and a Guardian reporter in Yangon

Myanmar’s military government is detaining election commission officials in night-time raids and asking them to provide evidence that November’s election was rigged, according to a senior member of the organisation.

The Tatmadaw justified its 1 February coup by alleging widespread irregularities in the vote, won decisively by Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, but their claims have been rejected by the Union Election Commission (UEC), the organisation responsible for administering elections in Myanmar.

T. Belman. As I understand the “trust the Plan” rhetoric, doing something will just get in the way and complicate what is happening anyway.

Victor Davis Hanson recently questioned whether the Biden Administration’s radical policies would lead Americans, as often happens, to push back. Hanson recalled the corruption of the Renaissance Church that prompted first the Reformation and then the Counter-Reformation of reformist, and more zealous, Catholics. He noted how the economic and cultural excesses of the 1920s were followed by the Great Depression of the 1930s, and how the destabilizing 1960s counterculture led to Richard Nixon’s landslide reelection victory in 1972.

Hanson then moved his analysis into contemporary American politics by noting that “the Bush-Clinton-Obama continuum of 24 years cemented the bipartisan fusion administrative state” with Trump and his “Make America Great Again” agenda serving as pushback. He noted that “social, cultural, economic, and political extremism prompt reactions—and sometimes counterreactions.” Yet “the counterreaction to the populism of the Trump reset or Trump himself—is as of yet unsure.”

The English faculty at Leicester University recently decided to expunge works such as Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Beowulf from their curriculum. They hoped that removing classical “Western” works from their curriculum would attract more students. That decision accentuates a trend that has been underway in American colleges, too: Eliminating course that many students claim glorify western imperialism, capitalism, and chauvinism. The students, and often faculty, demand colleges take down portraits and statues as well. The University of Pennsylvania removed a portrait of Shakespeare that had graced the walls for years. Not to be outdone, the San Francisco Board of Education removed Abraham Lincoln’s name from a public school.

A massive study by Israel’s largest health provider indicates that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 94 percent effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19, and 92% effective in averting serious cases of the disease.

The survey by the Clalit Health Services HMO compared 600,000 fully vaccinated individuals — 170,000 over 60 and 430,000 between the ages of 16 and 59 — with 600,000 unprotected Israelis. Believed to represent the largest such study in the world to date, it found the vaccine to be highly protective from both symptomatic infections and serious symptoms, shoring up previous studies on the shots.

Falsely Charging McConnell with Inconsistency

by Alan M. Dershowitz, GATESTONE INSTITUTE  •  February 15, 2021

• [I]t is CNN and the other media that failed to understand the distinction between defending the Constitution and defending the person.
• To have voted to convict citizen Trump would have given Congress a roving commission to seek out and disqualify any potential candidate who ever held federal public office or who might run for office in the future. McConnell correctly rejected that open-ended power grab.

The Pfizer vaccine not only prevents infection but also reduces the risk of contracting a serious case of COVID-19, new data released Sunday by Clalit Health Services shows.

The data, which was based on a study of 1,200,000 people – 600,000 who received the vaccine and 600,000 who did not – showed 94% fewer symptomatic coronavirus cases and 92% fewer cases of serious illness among those who were vaccinated.

Two such drugs developed in Israel show great promise in clinical trials: EXO-CD24 and Allocetra.

Free speech is under unprecedented attack by an unholy alliance of Big Tech, corporate oligarchs, the establishment media and government Democrats.

Tech giants are purging conservative voices — and even liberal voices who challenge establishment credos, as the New York Post pointed out — from their platforms. Large corporations like Bed Bath & Beyond, Simon & Schuster, Disney, Amazon and Bank of America are turning on clients and customers who espouse conservative views.

As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urge that schools open, many teachers unions are saying no.

“Amidst a global pandemic, the likes of which none of us has ever seen, the school district is hellbent on forcing thousands of educators into unsafe school buildings held together, in some places quite literally, by duct tape,” Philadelphia Federation of Teachers President Jerry T. Jordan said in response to his city’s push to reopen buildings that have been closed for about a year, The Washington Post reported.

A deadly combination of exponentially increased suicides, drug overdose, homicide, alcohol consumption, calorie consumption, delayed cancer screenings, spousal abuse, tuberculosis, and more is occurring. Researchers conclude this combination will outweigh deaths from COVID by multiples.

Data show very clearly that lockdowns have not only been completely ineffective, but they have been potentially as much as ten times more deadly than the coronavirus itself.

A former Israeli space security chief has sent eyebrows shooting heavenward by saying that earthlings have been in contact with extraterrestrials from a “galactic federation.”

“The Unidentified Flying Objects have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet,” Haim Eshed, former head of Israel’s Defense Ministry’s space directorate, told Israel’s Yediot Aharonot newspaper. The interview in Hebrew ran on Friday, and gained traction after parts were published in English by the Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.

Last Sunday, I received a call that there was unknown construction in one of the streams near my home in Nokdim, Gush Etzion.

I immediately dropped what I was doing to go see for myself, and a few minutes later I arrived at the spot where I saw Palestinian Authority trucks and tractors hard at work.

The stream, which is located in the Israeli-controlled Area C portion of Judea & Samaria, is also located near the Arab town of Za’atara, which is under the rule of the Palestinian Authority (PA).

American Jewish Committee issues statement of disappointment at appeals court ruling deeming state law requiring state contractors to promise not to boycott Israel violates First Amendment.

A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that Arkansas’ law requiring state contractors to pledge not to boycott Israel is unconstitutional.A three-judge panel of the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a federal judge’s 2019 decision that dismissed the lawsuit by the Arkansas Times, challenging the requirement. The newspaper had asked the judge to block the law, which requires contractors with the state to reduce their fees by 20% if they do not sign the pledge.
