I'm told that less than three months after the Jan. 6 riot, a Capitol Police officer was killed when a man slammed his car into him and another officer, and that the suspect was shot and killed with the attack is raising new questions about the security of the Capitol complex; furthermore, I was told Pelosi called the dead officer a martyr(!)
Now about the perp:
"The suspect was subsequently identified by a senior law enforcement official as Noah R. Green, 25, who described himself as a supporter of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and said he had been struggling through the last few months of the pandemic. He said he had recently left his job and been “faced with fear, hunger, loss of wealth and diminution of fruit,” but the motivation of the suspect remained a mystery. On Facebook, Green had posted speeches and articles written by Farrakhan and Elijah Muhammad, who led the Nation of Islam from 1934 to 1975, that discussed the decline of the United States. Two law enforcement officials confirmed that the Facebook page, which was taken down Friday, had belonged to Green. He had posted on Facebook about his personal struggles, especially during the pandemic and the attack was a worrisome sign that since Jan. 6, the Capitol has become a magnet for angry or disturbed people. Investigators said they did not know a motive but did not believe it was “terrorism related,” Robert J. Contee, acting chief of the Washington Metropolitan Police Department, told reporters, and Congress was not in session Friday, as lawmakers were scattered around the country for the holiday weekend.
Unbelievably, the article is apologetic regarding the poor assailant and I just caught the whiff of Operation Gladio regarding this event, whatever it may be.
So when they say the Capitol is a magnet for angry or disturbed people they mean the power-mad, psychopathic politicians that "work" there, right?
I implore you, readers!
"COVID-19 numbers are rising again. Should you worry?" by Felice J. Freyer Globe Staff, April 2, 2021
New cases of COVID-19 in Massachusetts and Rhode Island have been inching up over the past couple of weeks, all this is happening even as the vaccine rollout accelerates. What does it mean, and how worried should we be? The Globe asked an infectious disease specialist, a social epidemiologist, and an emergency room doctor what they make of this trend.
Cases rising as the vaccine is rolled out, huh?
So what is driving the increase in cases according to the propagandists in the pre$$?
“It’s not entirely clear,” said Dr. Helen W. Boucher, chief of the Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Tufts Medical Center.
“This is the dynamic thing about this virus,” said Nancy Krieger, professor of social epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
“We’re all sick of this,” said Dr. Megan Ranney, an emergency room doctor at Rhode Island Hospital. “You feel the end is in sight. It’s human nature to let down our guard,“ but most people still have no immunity to COVID-19 and “there’s an awful lot of people out there who can still be infected,” she said.
The increasing prevalence of the B.1.1.7 variant from the United Kingdom, which spreads more easily than the original coronavirus, could explain some of the growth in cases, Ranney said.
So with all adults eligible for a vaccine later this month, won’t vaccination solve the problem pretty soon?
That depends.
“It’s really a race to get as many vaccinated as quickly and safely as we can,” said Boucher, of Tufts.
I view their experts as mass-murdering criminals for promoting this fraud over a non-existent, fancy-named seasonal cold that you don't even know you had and that is diagnosed with a faulty technique and procedure to produce false positives for something 99.97% survive if you believe all the pre$$ and government dogma.
So what percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated for things to return to normal?
They “don’t know what the magic number is,” but estimates range from 65 to 90 percent, and this is sickening.
“There is reason for hope,” Boucher said. “We are getting there with the vaccination and our state is doing very well with vaccinations. … The trend tells us that we just need to hang in there a little longer with masks and mitigation.”
I am so sick of being led on by these liars!
Krieger, the Harvard epidemiologist, added a note of caution. “Where things have gone badly,” she said, “it’s when we open up too quickly.” While the pandemic seemed to start waning a month or so ago, the case counts plateaued at a level that is still much higher than last summer, and now they’re moving back up. “That means more infections and more deaths, and that’s completely preventable,” Krieger said.
As they pad the death totals and call everything CVD.
These people are AWFUL MONSTERS, as is the pre$$ that presents them.
Even as vaccine distribution speeds up, for each person there’s a weeks-long lag from the first shot to full immunity. “The next two weeks are going to be really tough no matter what we do today,” said Ranney, of Rhode Island Hospital; meanwhile, though, with better weather prompting people to spend more time outdoors, infections may start to slow, “and if people can continue to wear masks and avoid socializing with others who are not part of their household, that would have a dramatic impact on future cases,” Ranney said.
We were told last year that the warm weather had no effect, and this thing looks more and more like seasonal cold and flu with each passing day as infections "may" start to slow!!!
So when will it finally be over?
The short answer is NEVER!
“There’s a lot of reason to be hopeful that we are getting there and that we are going to get to the point where we’re going to see the numbers go down and stay down,” Boucher said.
Ranney noted that COVID-19 will always be with us, but eventually at manageable levels as with other vaccine-preventable illnesses.
“I expect that by July we’re going to be able to be closer to normal,” Ranney said. “How close to normal we are depends on how many get the vaccine. ... These vaccines are amazingly effective. The end does not come until most of us get vaccinated.”
But NEVER NORMAL!
See you in hell, you bastards:
"In a ruling whose effects could ripple from Gloucester to New Bedford, a Suffolk County judge has dealt a major blow to a long-planned and much-debated skyscraper on the edge of Boston Harbor. Superior Court Judge Brian Davis on Thursday threw out Boston zoning rules that would have allowed the 600-foot tower developer Don Chiofaro has proposed for the site of the Boston Harbor Garage.

"‘Real Housewives’ star pleads not guilty to fraud charges" by Tom Hays The Associated Press, April 2, 2021
Jen Shah, a cast member from the reality series "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City."
"Reality" is an oxymoron when it comes to TV, sorry!
I can't believe anyone watches those shows, either. It's just a place to deposit the wealth that is leaking from the ruling cla$$.
NEW YORK (AP) — A Utah woman with a star role in “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” reality show pleaded not guilty Friday to charges accusing her of ripping off hundreds of people in a nationwide telemarketing scheme.
A federal judge in New York City also imposed tighter bail conditions for Jennifer Shah during a virtual hearing after a prosecutor suggested she was still hiding illicit proceeds from the alleged fraud and is a flight risk. Agents searching her home found debit cards from the account of a shell company formed as part of the scheme, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Kiersten Fletcher.
“She’s not demonstrated a willingness to disclose her assets,” Fletcher said.
Shah will remain free under an order to post a $1 million bond secured by $250,000 in cash or property and co-signed by two other people.
No cage or anything, huh?
At a previous hearing, Shah and a co-defendant, Stuart Smith, were released only on conditions barring contact with each other, traveling outside of Utah or engaging in telemarketing. Smith, who has appeared as Shah’s assistant on the show, also pleaded not guilty on Friday.
Shah, 47, of Park City, Utah, is a high-profile member of the main cast of the Bravo program. She was often at the center of the show’s most dramatic moments and threw a glass during an argument with one of her fellow cast members.
She drew new attention earlier this week after authorities accused her and Smith of ripping off hundreds of people by offering fraud tax and other services in a scheme running from 2012 to 2021, prosecutors said in an indictment. Many of the victims were over 55 and didn’t own computers, they said.
Shah and Smith tried to hide their role in the fraud by using third-party names for their business entities, telling victims to use encrypted messages to communicate with them and instructing people to send some payments to offshore bank accounts, the indictment said.
The pair “generated and sold ‘lead lists’ of innocent individuals for other members of their scheme to repeatedly scam,” prosecutors said.
A trial date was set for Oct. 18 in Manhattan......
Off with her head:
"For months, Saudi Arabia’s oil minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, arguably the most powerful individual in the oil business, has urged his fellow producers to keep a tight rein on output, fearing additional crude could flood the world’s markets and cause prices to drop. At the same time, some producers, notably Russia, have been chafing to open the spigot a bit more. On Thursday, the prince seemed to relent, as the group called OPEC Plus — the members of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies like Russia — agreed to modest output increases over the next three months. Analysts said the prince, who is the chair of OPEC Plus, appeared to be calculating that by appeasing other producers who want to produce more oil, he can remain in control over the longer term. The prince repeated his go-slow message on Thursday, arguing that the global economic recovery from the pandemic remained fragile, and so his willingness to sign off on an increase came as something of a surprise, but the decision seemed to be an acknowledgment of the diversity of opinions within OPEC Plus, and that he must take the views of other key producers like Russia and the United Arab Emirates into account to maintain leadership and to keep them from going their own way. So far traders have signaled their approval by pushing up prices in what had been a weak market....."
Meanwhile, my pre$$ has kept me in the dark on the tensions in the Ukraine and Crimea, and it will be framed as Russian aggression when the exact opposite is the truth.
China will also be coming in their side:
"Tesla Inc. delivered more cars than expected in the first quarter, a strong start to a year in which Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk will be scaling global operations and building two more factories. “We are encouraged by the strong reception of the Model Y in China and are quickly progressing to full production capacity,” the company said. The new Model S and Model X have also been “exceptionally well received,” it said, adding that it’s in the early stages of ramping production. Tesla currently makes the Model S and X only at its factory in Fremont, California, and the smaller Model 3 and Y both there and at its plant in Shanghai. The company doesn’t break out sales by geography, but the U.S. and China are its largest markets and nearly all the sales were of the Model 3 and Y. Chief Financial Officer Zachary Kirkhorn warned in January that production would be low due to the transition to the revamped products, while the global semiconductor shortage and delays at ports were also expected to weigh on the quarter. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had expected deliveries of 169,850 -- Dan Ives at Wedbush said Wall Street was penciling in a number as low as 160,000. The quarter was “a massive home run in the eyes of the bulls,” Ives said in a research note Friday. “We believe China and Europe were particularly robust this quarter as the trajectory now puts Musk & Co. to exceed 850k for the year which is well ahead of whisper expectations.”
It's a whi$tle now.

"Few in GOP rush to defend Gaetz amid sex trafficking probe" by Michael Balsamo and Alan Fram The Associated Press, April 2, 2021
WASHINGTON — The political peril for conservative Republican Representative Matt Gaetz deepened Friday as the often outlandish Trump-styled provocateur appeared politically isolated amid a federal sex-trafficking investigation.
Few Republicans rushed to offer any kind of support to the three-term Florida congressman known for espousing high-volume attacks — sometimes against those in his own party — during his frequent media appearances. Several GOP lawmakers and top aides who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive situation said Gaetz's prospects for remaining in Congress were bleak and were complicated in particular by his unpopularity among colleagues in his own party.
Federal prosecutors are examining whether Gaetz and a political ally who is facing sex trafficking allegations may have paid underage girls or offered them gifts in exchange for sex, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Friday.
What a surprise.
This floats out on a Slow Saturday(!) and we all know the entire ruling cla$$ is compromised but his kind perversion as the pre$$ soft sells it and uses it as a political weapon.
I mean, Cuomo is still there, Newsom is still there, Bill Clinton is still there(!), Northram and his lieutenant governor, etc, etc, all memory holed, and let's not leave out the sniffing petto Joe.
The scrutiny of Gaetz stemmed from the Justice Department’s probe into the political ally, Joel Greenberg, the people said. Greenberg, a former Florida tax collector, was indicted last year and is accused of a number of federal crimes. He has pleaded not guilty.
Of course. They are the bottom of everything!
Republican congressional leaders have largely been silent about the investigation, which continues.
That reflected the serious nature of the charges in a story that seems to add new elements by the day, giving lawmakers little motivation to attach themselves to Gaetz.
Part of the investigation is examining whether Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old and other underage girls and violated federal sex trafficking laws, the people familiar with the probe told the AP. Federal agents suspect Greenberg may have enticed the girls and then introduced some of them to Gaetz, and they are examining whether both men may have had sex with the same girls, the people said.
OMG, we have a mini-Epstein here in another blackmail scheme of control!
The people with knowledge of the investigation could not discuss details publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Details of the investigation were first reported by The New York Times. Gaetz has vehemently denied the allegations.
Many colleagues on Capitol Hill view Gaetz as being obsessed with self-promotion, as illustrated by his numerous television appearances that are unusually high for a lawmaker not in a senior position, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations. This is Gaetz’s fifth year in Congress.
They are especially upset with his willingness to publicly take on fellow Republicans, which many consider needlessly divisive.
That was most clearly on display when he traveled to Wyoming in January to urge voters there to not reelect Representative Liz Cheney. Days earlier, Cheney, the No. 3 House GOP leader, was among just 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach Trump.
Among the rare lawmakers to express support for Gaetz is freshman GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, another rising figure in the GOP propelled by her media appearances and use of social media to spread baseless conspiracy theories.
I'm Greene with envy.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters this week that accusations against Gaetz were “serious.”
They are cutting him loose and he should have known better!
The Gaetz investigation, which has been going on since at least the summer of 2020, reached the highest levels of the Justice Department, and former Attorney General William Barr was briefed on the matter several times, the people said.
In the last few months, investigators have also interviewed several witnesses in the case and have been scrutinizing documents, including travel and financial records, the people said.
Greenberg was the elected tax collector in Seminole County near Orlando when he resigned last June after his arrest on federal charges. Initially, those included stalking a political opponent, trafficking a minor for sex and illegally using a state database to create fake drivers licenses and other ID cards.
Since then, the case against Greenberg has ballooned to more than 30 charges, including wire fraud and other charges involving efforts to divert at least $400,000 from the tax collectors office into cryptocurrency he controlled and for his own personal use, such as the purchase of memorabilia autographed by NBA greats Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, federal prosecutors say. Other charges accuse him of using two companies he controlled to attempt to fraudulently obtain coronavirus relief funds.
Gaetz has said the allegations against him are part of an extortion plot by an attorney in Florida, who worked decades ago as a federal prosecutor and whom Gaetz identified as David McGee. In response, McGee’s law firm said the allegation that Gaetz made about the supposed extortion attempt was “both false and defamatory.” The firm said that McGee had served in top positions at the US attorney’s office in Florida about 25 years ago and that his “reputation for integrity and ethical conduct was impeccable.”
The Justice Department has a separate investigation into the extortion allegations, being led out of the US attorney’s office in northern Florida, according to a person familiar with the investigation who also could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Gaetz has said that his family has been cooperating with the FBI and that his father was wearing a recording device, at the FBI’s direction, “to catch these criminals.” He also demanded the Justice Department release the recordings.
The Justice Department has not commented.....
Gaetz also has an adopted son meaning he is involved in that aspect of child sex trafficking as well, so a totally compromised piece of shit -- as are they all.

"CDC says it is low-risk for fully vaccinated people to travel" by Lena H. Sun and Lori Aratani The Washington Post, April 2, 2021, 3:33 p.m.
Federal health officials gave the green light Friday for fully vaccinated people to resume travel as more than 100 million Americans have had at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, and evidence mounts of the shots’ effectiveness.
While fully vaccinated people are at lower risk of infection, the officials said, they are still not recommending travel due to the rising number of cases in the United States and globally.
Why are they at any risk at all?
The long-awaited guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is welcome news for the growing number of vaccinated adults who want greater freedom to visit family members and take vacations for the first time in a year. It is also expected to help boost the travel and airline industries that have been seeking a relaxation of restrictions.
Basically admitting we don't have it while extorting us to take their poison so we can be "rewarded" with our GOD-GIVEN and INALIENABLE RIGHT that NO GOVERNMENT CAN EVER TAKE AWAY despite TOTALITARIAN TYRANNY.
We are BORN FREE and we will DIE FREE!!
SEE YOU in HELL!
The agency updated its guidance because of several newly released studies documenting the strong real-world effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines in helping to protect against infection and spread of the virus, and the rapid pace of vaccinations, now close to 3 million people a day, but CDC Director Rochelle Walensky cautioned in a White House briefing Friday that while fully vaccinated people can now travel at low risk to themselves, “I would advocate against general travel overall. Our guidance is silent on recommending or not recommending fully vaccinated people travel. Our guidance speaks to the safety of doing so.”
Providing guidance amid a changing pandemic and science is complex, she acknowledged. "The science shows us that getting fully vaccinated allows you to do more things safely and it's important for us to provide that guidance even in the context of rising cases," Walensky said. " . . . At the same time, we must balance the science with the fact that most Americans are not yet fully vaccinated, which is likely contributing to a rise in cases."
She is the $cum out there crying about a third wave this past week and who worries that if we “let our guard down there will be another surge” before changing her tune the very next day as Massachusetts is in the midst of a high-stakes campaign to vaccinate 4.1 million adults in an effort to bring an end to a pandemic that has sickened hundreds of thousands and caused more than 16,000 deaths in the state, and the testing and vaccination data came as local officials raised concerns about rising infections and the appearance of virus variants on Cape Cod in what “could be the start of the third wave,” and I'm so sick of them throwing $hit around everywhere.
Of course, all hands on deck as people are allegedly begging for vaccine and as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts contributes $1 million to pay for thousands of free rides to vaccine appointments in underserved communities, including communities of color, in a new initiative with ride-hailing company Lyft and the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers:
Large spaces are available in the observation area at the Hynes Convention Center where the coronavirus COVID-19 vaccine is being administered (Suzanne Kreiter/Globe staff)
Or you can go to the drive-through as it more convenient and avoids the drama because a flap between AstraZeneca and public health officials offered a case study in what not to do to maintain public confidence as shoring up public confidence in COVID-19 vaccines is more important than ever as we try to reach the point where enough people achieve immunity to stop the spread of the virus and end this pandemic, but as it is, officials warn that we must remain vigilant in our efforts to slow the spread in order to get back to normal, given a recent spike in cases in the United States despite a steady increase in vaccinations, so it’s crucial that AstraZeneca and other vaccine makers, as well as the National Institutes of Health and public officials, adopt a new mantra when it comes to public communications about vaccine efficacy: No more drama.
Never mind that a Paris court on Monday ordered hundreds of millions of euros in fines and damages against a French pharmaceutical company for its role in one of the nation’s biggest modern health scandals, finding it guilty of manslaughter and other charges for selling a diabetes drug blamed for hundreds of deaths because you are in good hands when it comes to the pharmaceuticals even if we “could see a trajectory where we won’t get back to normalcy for months” despite the seeming contradiction that coronavirus infections are climbing again even as vaccinations increase and young people are a major factor in the spike as Massachusetts is in the midst of a high-stakes campaign to vaccinate 4.1 million adults in an effort to bring an end to a pandemic that has wracked the state for more than a year.
A "seeming contradiction," huh?
For that reason, she said, the CDC has to continue to reinforce messages about the critical importance of prevention measures such as mask-wearing.
So did Biden, and you even need to mask your pet despite a Defense Department study of the risk of catching the coronavirus on a packed commercial flight that concluded that a person would have to be sitting next to an infectious passenger for at least 54 hours to receive a dangerous dose of the virus through the air -- but maintain 6 feet of distance from everyone around you.
No, wait, make that 3 feet(?!!?)!!
For domestic travel, people who are two weeks past their final shot do not need to get a coronavirus test before or after trips and do not need to self-quarantine after travel unless it is required by a state or local jurisdiction. That means fully vaccinated grandparents can fly to visit their healthy grandchildren without getting a coronavirus test or self-quarantining, provided they follow the other recommended public health measures, such as wearing masks on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation.
Which is EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING in CANADA and SOME STATES, and WHY WOULD YOU STILL NEED A MASK?
WTF?!!!!
For international travel, fully vaccinated people do not need to be tested before they leave the United States unless it is required by the destination, the guidance says. For their return to the United States, fully vaccinated people should get tested and have a negative result before they board an international flight back to the United States, and they should also be tested three to five days after arrival back in the United States.
OMFG, this is TOTAL TYRANNY and the headline made it seem like freedom!
You can fly, but the TOTALITARIAN MEASURES based on CVD FRAUD are to REMAIN!
Nearly 40 percent of all adults have received at least one dose of a vaccine and more than 1 in 5 adults are now fully vaccinated, including more than half of seniors, according to the CDC. On Friday, the United States is expected to pass the milestone of 100 million people getting at least one dose.
Friday's guidance builds on the agency's initial recommendations last month that said fully vaccinated Americans can gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing. Those recommendations also say that vaccinated people can come together in the same way with unvaccinated members in one other household considered at low risk for severe disease, such as vaccinated grandparents visiting healthy children and grandchildren. Fully vaccinated people, the agency said, should keep following health and safety precautions in public, including wearing a mask.
Then WHAT is the POINT of inoculation and these f**kers telling us who we can meet and see?
FUCK THEM!!!!!!!
What CRIMINAL BASTARDS who should be JAILED and EXECUTED!
Since the initial guidance was released March 8, the number of Americans who are fully vaccinated has almost doubled, to over 56 million people, or about 17 percent of the total population, according to the CDC.
The CDC’s guidance for nonvaccinated travelers remain the same: They must still get tested one to three days before traveling domestically and again, three to five days afterward, and they should also self-quarantine for seven days after the trip’s conclusion, or for 10 days if they don’t get tested afterward.
The te$ting indu$try, with all it's cycles and false positives, is a GOLDEN GOO$E and WHO WOULD WANT TO GET RID OF THAT -- especially when its purpose is CONTROL OF PEOPLE and MOVEMENT like in the old Soviet Union and current regime in China!
The changes for the fully vaccinated are another piece of good news for the air and travel industries, which have been pushing the CDC to update its recommendations. The updated guidance is likely to give another boost to airlines, which last month recorded their best month for passenger traffic since the pandemic began more than a year ago.....

They must have their heads in the clouds if they think people are booking trips to Europe:
"Vaccine ‘fiasco’ damages Europe’s credibility" by Steven Erlanger New York Times, April 2, 2021
BRUSSELS — As European countries lock down again in a third wave of the virus, the reputation and credibility of the European Union and its executive arm, the European Commission, are much in play.
How came something they don't have be in play?
For decades, the European Union has sold itself not just as the best antidote to another European war, but as “the Europe that protects,” arguing that by its collective size and shared sovereignty, it will deliver a better, longer and more prosperous life to all. That promise now looks hollow, and risks undermining the bloc’s credibility when it comes to major challenges like climate change, migration, and a rising China.
I hope they are ready for a war with Russia!
Brussels has always taken pride in its technocratic rule-setting for the world, but it has just lost Britain, the world’s fifth-largest economy, and even before the pandemic was suffering from low growth and a shrinking share of global trade.
After every crisis, whether it was Kosovo or the euro debt disaster, the usual answer is “more Europe,” but unless Brussels can turn matters around quickly, its vaccine crisis may cause member states to resist granting further authority to the commission.
“This has been catastrophic for the reputation of the European Union,” said Mark Leonard, director of the European Council on Foreign Relations.
This shit is as laughable as it is sickening!
At the start of the crisis, as nations erected borders and hoarded protective equipment, masks, and gowns, there was a huge desire for European cooperation, he said, “not because people liked the EU or its institutions, but because they were so absent,” but the question now, he said, is buyer’s remorse.
It's a... (gulp) ... PANDEMIC!
While national leaders commonly take credit for every success and blame the commission for every failure, the pandemic has displayed the vulnerabilities of a bureaucracy with weak and divided leadership. An effort by the commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, a medical doctor, to enhance her power and profile by grabbing vaccine procurement from member states has proved disastrous.
She is the European version of Fraudci!
“It was not a bad idea to do something about vaccines on the EU level, to avoid competition inside,” said Timothy Garton Ash, a professor of European studies at the University of Oxford. While von der Leyen bears responsibility, he said, "it’s also a failure in the way Brussels thinks and works, which is very bureaucratic and terribly frightened about doing something that might offend a member state.”
What OFFENSIVE BULLSHIT!
They have no problem haranguing Turkey, Hungary, and Poland over women and gays!
Even Guy Verhofstadt, a European Parliament member and fierce European federalist, called the commission’s performance “a fiasco.”
Still, as much as countries like Germany and France have fumbled inoculations, the latest figures show that Europe’s real problem is slower-than-expected procurement of vaccines themselves, causing every state to scramble for more, and von der Leyen’s decision to start a public “vaccine war” with Britain and instituting an export ban threatens to undermine Europe’s reputation as the defender of open trade and the rules-based international system.
Even her predecessor, Jean-Claude Juncker, told the BBC that an export ban could do “major reputational damage” to the bloc.
You mean Drunker, right?
Yeah, it's a back problem -- the guilt of stabbing us all in the back in service to his genocidal globali$t ma$ters.
François Heisbourg, a French analyst, said simply: “The commission is not a government, but a box-ticking rule-based administrator. It was never designed to run a war,” but Heisbourg and others note that Britain and the United States badly mismanaged the pandemic’s start and suffered large numbers of deaths. New virus variants could create further havoc, but more vaccines are coming, and von der Leyen says Europe plans to inoculate 70 percent of the bloc’s adults by September.
Plucked into the job as a last-minute compromise engineered by President Emmanuel Macron of France, von der Leyen was considered a poor administrator as German defense minister, relying on a tight circle of advisers and very image conscious. In Brussels, she is known as “the minister of self-defense” and is thought to have overreached on vaccines.
Totally qualified, I see.
Von der Leyen “thought she had found the niche where the EU could be a trailblazer, like climate change," said Stefano Stefanini, a former Italian ambassador and risk consultant. “She and the EU are staking their reputations on handling the pandemic. Right now the EU has come up against its limitations,” he added.
Better go get it out of the gutter!
Von der Leyen has admitted mistakes. “We were late to authorize,” she told the European Parliament. “We were too optimistic when it came to massive production, and perhaps too confident that what we ordered would actually be delivered on time,” but there have been many moments of blaming others, especially Britain and the producers. “We’re tired of being the scapegoat,” she said more recently.
Oh, CRY ME a RIVER!
What SICKENING $CUM are the RULING CLA$$!
GOOD GOD!!!
Brussels also points with pride to the bloc’s recovery fund, more than half in grants, to help countries badly hit, but it is relatively small, about 750 billion euros ($884 billion), and Brussels must still approve each nation’s spending plan. So again, implementation will be key to how Brussels is judged.
“The recovery fund shows a solidarity that is much appreciated by Europeans,” said Katarina Barley, vice president of the European Parliament. “There we don’t see the benefits yet, but in a year or two people might look back differently.”
Now pat yourself on the back again!
May God help us all:
"Christians in the Holy Land marked Good Friday without the mass pilgrimages usually seen in the days leading up to Easter because of the coronavirus, and worshippers in many other predominantly Christian countries where the virus is still raging observed their second annual Holy Week with tight restrictions on gatherings. In Jerusalem, many holy sites were open, thanks to an ambitious Israeli vaccination campaign. It was a stark contrast to last year, when the city was under lockdown. In neighboring Lebanon, Christians observed Good Friday under a lockdown and suffering a severe economic crisis. In Jerusalem’s Old City, religious sites were open to limited numbers of faithful....."
That's okay.
He can your prayers from wherever you say them, and he's answered them by gumming up the works:
"Britain reported 30 cases of extremely rare blood clots in people who had received the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, the same sort of events that have prompted some European countries to restrict use of the shot in certain at-risk age groups. The reports represented 25 more cases than Britain’s medicines regulator had previously received, going some way toward addressing a mystery that has hung over safety concerns about the vaccine: why Britain had not observed the same phenomenon that has been seen in continental Europe, driving countries including France, Germany and Sweden to stop giving the shot to younger people, who are believed to be at higher risk from the rare clotting events. Britain’s medicines regulator said that it had received reports of no such clotting cases in people who had received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The clotting cases have generated concern because, scientists said, they were somewhat unusual. They involve blood clots combined with unusually low levels of platelets, a disorder that can lead to heavy bleeding. The clotting events that have drawn the most concern, known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, entail clots in the veins that drain blood from the brain, a condition that can lead to a rare type of stroke. Those represented 22 of the 30 clotting cases that Britain reported this week, but it is not clear whether any of the cases are linked to the vaccine, and even if they are, British and European regulators have said they were so rare that the vaccine should continue to be used."
They have NO CONCERN for YOUR HEALTH at all.
You might as well be South African as teens will be added to an ongoing study.

You will, of course, need to prevent your vaxxipass to do anything -- unless you are in Florida:
"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order banning businesses from requiring customers to show proof that they’ve been vaccinated to get service. The Republican governor had previously announced his intent to issue an order banning so-called “vaccine passports.” His action also barred any government agency in Florida from issuing such documentation for the purpose of providing proof of vaccinations. In his executive order, DeSantis asserts “vaccination passports reduce individual freedom and will harm patient privacy.” The order doesn’t preclude businesses, such as restaurants and retail stores, from screening protocols and other measures recommended by state and federal health officials. Florida has reported more than 2 million cases and nearly 33,500 confirmed deaths."
It HAS to be NOTED that the VAXXIPASS PLAN strongly resembles the old "C*L*REDS ONLY" signs of the Old South.
Of course, California is the trend-setter:
"California will allow indoor concerts, theater performances and other private gatherings starting April 15 as the rate of people testing positive for COVID-19 nears a record low. It's a sharp turnaround from the slow pace California has taken on lifting restrictions, and comes as the governor urges people to continue being vigilant about wearing masks and maintaining social distancing. To attend, people will have to either be tested or show proof of full vaccination....."
Of course, that means the end of freedom but at least you can go to an NBA game -- as if anyone cares and only people who live in California can attend!
So much for diversity and inclusivity and the rules are different for private indoor gatherings, including weddings, meetings or conferences. Those are only to be allowed if all guests test negative for the coronavirus at least 72 hours in advance or show proof of full vaccination. The changes do not mention requiring proof of vaccination and put much of the enforcement on business owners and operators and “allowing some of these activities and opportunities to vaccinated individuals is an incentive,” said Dee Dee Myers, director of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, the former Clinton crony that makes one $ick said, and “if they can return to some of their favorite activities because they’re vaccinated then hopefully a few more people will go and get vaccinated.”
Once again, the "promise" of "freedom" when it is the EXACT OPPOSITE, and what she is describing is what used to be known as EXTORTION and TERRORISM!!
These people are EVIL as the new rules seem to nudge California toward a system of vaccine verification, a hotly debated issue across the country after New York became the first state to offer a COVID-19 digital pass residents can use to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test that is accepted at major venues in an effort to fast-track the reopening of businesses, sports arenas, and entertainment in the state.
Here is what you need to know about New York's Excelsior Pass, and is it just me or does that building look like a syringe?
I'm told the Biden administration has said the federal government won’t come up with a national vaccine passport app, leaving that to the private sector, but the federal government is devising regulations for how and when those passports can be used but that vaccinations won’t be required for essential services -- yet -- as the criminal Newsom says“we’re not going to get to herd immunity, we’re not going to get back to that semblance of normalcy unless we get more people vaccinated.”
Have you noticed it's always a semblance of normal or close to normal, but never just normal?

"The Biden administration and private companies are working to develop a standard way of handling credentials - often referred to as “vaccine passports” - that would allow Americans to prove they have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus as businesses try to reopen. The effort has gained momentum amid President Joe Biden's pledge that the nation will start to regain normalcy this summer and with a growing number of companies - from cruise lines to sports teams - saying they will require proof of vaccination before opening their doors again. The administration's initiative has been driven largely by arms of the Department of Health and Human Services, including an office devoted to health information technology, said five officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the effort. The White House this month took on a bigger role coordinating government agencies involved in the work, led by coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients, with a goal of announcing updates in coming days, said one official. The White House declined to answer questions about the passport initiative, instead pointing to public statements that Zients and other officials made this month. The initiative has emerged as an early test of the Biden administration, with officials working to coordinate across dozens of agencies and a variety of experts, including military officials helping administer vaccines and health officials engaging in international vaccine efforts. The passports are expected to be free and available through applications for smartphones, which could display a scannable code similar to an airline boarding pass. Americans without smartphone access should be able to print out the passports, developers have said....."
If they gave you a free bag of shit would you take it?
"Our role is to help ensure that any solutions in this area should be simple, free, open source, accessible to people both digitally and on paper, and designed from the start to protect people's privacy," Zients said at a March 12 briefing. Other countries are racing ahead with their own passport plans, with the European Union pledging to release digital certificates that would allow for summer travel. U.S. officials say they are grappling with an array of challenges, including data privacy and health-care equity. They want to make sure all Americans will be able to get credentials that prove they have been vaccinated, but also want to set up systems that are not easily hacked or passports that cannot be counterfeited, given that forgeries are already starting to appear. One of the most significant hurdles facing federal officials: the sheer number of passport initiatives underway, with the Biden administration this month identifying at least 17, according to slides obtained by The Washington Post. Those initiatives - such as a World Health Organization-led global effort and a digital pass devised by IBM that is being tested in New York state - are rapidly moving forward, even as the White House deliberates about how best to track the shots and avoid the perception of a government mandate to be vaccinated.
Oh, they want to AVOID the PERCEPTION of TOTALITARIAN TYRANNY while STILL DOING IT, huh?
What ABSOLUTE $CUM, and I profusely apologize to all scum around the world fro the comparison.
One of the teams working on vaccine passports is the Vaccination Credential Initiative, a coalition endeavoring to standardize how data in vaccination records is tracked. "The busboy, the janitor, the waiter that works at a restaurant, wants to be surrounded by employees that are going back to work safely - and wants to have the patrons ideally be safe as well," said Brian Anderson, a physician at Mitre, a nonprofit company that runs federally funded research centers, who is helping lead the initiative. "Creating an environment for those vulnerable populations to get back to work safely - and to know that the people coming back to their business are 'safe,' and vaccinated - would be a great scenario." Anderson's team is aiming to release its free software standards in April, hoping developers will use them to help build digital vaccine records that allow people to show they have been inoculated. The Vaccination Credential Initiative includes the Mayo Clinic, Microsoft and more than 225 other organizations, many of which have pledged to use the code when administering shots.
They will get you back to office!
Biden administration officials privately acknowledge the high stakes of the effort. Proof of vaccination "may be a critical driver for restoring baseline population health and promoting safe return to social, commercial, and leisure activities," according to the March 2 slides prepared by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and obtained by The Post, but officials at the session - attended by more than 150 staff from the health, defense, homeland security and other departments, and even far-flung agencies such as NASA - warned of the "confusing array" of efforts underway to create credentials. "A chaotic and ineffective vaccine credential approach could hamper our pandemic response by undercutting health safety measures, slowing economic recovery, and undermining public trust and confidence," one slide reads.
How could it undermine something they don't have!?
Micky Tripathi, whom Biden tapped as the national coordinator for health IT, recently said federal officials are concerned with a variety of health-tech challenges, including protecting the credentials against fraud, ensuring data security and making certain that low-income populations aren't squeezed out. "How do we make sure that whatever is available is accessible to everyone so no one is left behind or feeling like they can't participate in the return of their day-to-day activities?" Tripathi asked at a virtual meeting hosted by the Health IT Leadership Roundtable on March 11. Tripathi told the group he didn't like the term "vaccine passports," adding that "passports are something that are issued by governments. ... I think of them as vaccine credentials or certificates." Tripathi did not respond to a request for comment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is participating in the WHO's effort to create "digital vaccination certificates," also is preparing to help advise on the passport rollout. The health agency says it is expecting to play a role in determining which organizations will credential and issue the certificates, in addition to informing the public, according to CDC documents reviewed by The Post.
Those were on the drawing board long before the CVD SCAM, folks!
The Biden administration has promised to release more information about its efforts. Asked by Hawaii Gov. David Ige on Tuesday about the state of the passport initiative, Zients told governors he would provide a more detailed briefing this week, according to two peopleon the call, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe the private conversation. Federal officials defended the pace of the project. Taking time to get the credentialing project right "is very, very important because this has a high likelihood of being either built wrong, used wrong or a bureaucratic mess," said one official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the effort. The official said some of the considerations include how to adjust for the spread of variants, how booster shots would be tracked and even questions about how long immunity lasts after getting a shot. There's "a lot to think through," the official said. "Many people see this as a key aspect to getting things closer to normal," said Kristen McGovern, a partner at health-care consultancy Sirona Strategies and former chief of staff at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, but the technical challenges are significant and given that so many separate efforts are underway, "it would be an almost herculean task to come up with a single standard" for all the vaccine credentials to follow, McGovern said.
Closer to, but NOT MORMAL and what they are proposing is NOT NORMAL AT ALL and will ensure "normalcy" never returns.
It's your NEW NORMAL, remember?
There is evidence vaccine passports could motivate skeptical Americans to get shots. Several vaccine-hesitant participants at a recent focus group of Trump voters led by pollster Frank Luntz suggested their desire to see family, go on vacation and resume other aspects of daily life outpaced fear of the shots, particularly if travel companies and others moved to require proof of vaccination, though some attendees dissented and warned that requiring a credential would backfire.
To their own demise!
Public health and ethics experts agreed that the Biden administration needed to strike a careful balance: Encourage shots and support the private-sector initiatives but don't put too much federal emphasis on the looming passports. "If it became a government mandate, it would go down a dark road very quickly," said Brian Castrucci, who leads the Bethesda, Md.-based de Beaumont Foundation, a public health group funding Luntz's research into why some Americans are balking at the vaccine. "It becomes a credential. It becomes a 'needing your papers,' if you will. That could be dangerous - and it could turn off people."
So let bu$ine$$ do it!
The country is already a corporate fa$ci$t state anyway!
"It has to be that everyone can get it, and it's their choice, as it were," said Ezekiel Emanuel, a University of Pennsylvania bioethics expert who co-authored a Journal of the American Medical Association article last year about the ethics of such certificates and advised Biden's transition team on the coronavirus. "The one thing I am concerned is that some people won't be able to get vaccinated for a variety of reasons." Emanuel added that the passports will be an element of global travel - not just domestic policy.
It's a COERCED CHIOCE, as it were, and Zeke here is not only Rahm's brother but the guy who said we should all be put to death at 75!
You know, if you feel that way then STEP OFF, you scum!
Key aviation and travel associations on March 22 called on the White House to finalize its vaccine credential plan by May, saying it was essential for the safe resumption of international travel. Donald Rucker, who led the health IT office during the Trump administration, said myriad technical issues await the rollout of vaccine credentials, including how they are tracked, whether they are enforced and who pulls together the initial records of which Americans have gotten shots. Rucker said keeping vaccine credentials could help officials better understand coronavirus vaccination, including possible long-term side effects, if the data is connected with the health information exchanges that states maintain. “The tracking of vaccinations is not just simply for vaccine passports,” Rucker said. “The tracking of vaccinations is a broader issue of ‘we’re giving a novel biologic agent to the entire country,’ more or less.”
They really are infecting you with the inoculation and they long-term effects outside the blood clots, 5,000 dead, and over 100,000 injured all over the world according to VAERS reports the Globe ignores, right?
Of course, the wealthy are still flying to their vacations in the tropics. Only you can't!
Sorry for the bad news, but you will have to go by train to someplace local if you want to see your mommy because you will soon no longer be allowed to drive thanks to him!
UPDATE:
Comment: The PTB are using brainwashed Hollywood and TV celebrities to program the masses in the hopes of having a population that will accept a totalitarian and fascistic society - with two major categories of people:
1. The obedient vaccinated sheeple who will have some privileges, and
2. The unvaccinated dirty rebels who will be excluded from much of society - as well as hated and perceived by the "upper" vaccinated class as irresponsible savages who are killing innocent people by spreading the virus.
No, this is not a sci-fi movie scenario. This is what they want their "new normal" to look like. And they have a good chance to make it real.

Are you ready for school?
"Coronavirus cases in Mass. schools hit a new high this week. Here’s why experts say that shouldn’t cause alarm" by Felicia Gans Globe Staff, April 2, 2021
With coronavirus case counts steadily rising in Massachusetts, numbers have been similarly growing among public school students and staff members, on Thursday reaching the highest weekly totals since the start of the academic year.
The record-breaking report — 801 new coronavirus cases among students and 244 among school staffers for the week that ended Wednesday — came just days before elementary students across the state are set to return to full-time, in-person learning, but state officials and many public health experts said Friday that though the rise in cases may be alarming for families, the numbers shouldn’t be seen as an indication that schools are unsafe.
OMFG, what GALL!!
The only response to this insulting bullshit from these criminals is BUCKET, TAR, FEATHER, HARBOR!
HOLY SHIT!
They are screaming cases and variants and yet ordering kids back the dystopian schools so they can what, be declared positive and kidnapped, 'er, quarantined for sex perverts?
“Whenever you see rising cases in the community, you see rising cases in kids, so because you see school-age kids getting infected, that doesn’t mean they acquired it in school,” said Todd Ellerin, director of infectious diseases at South Shore Health.
I guess they THINK PARENTS are STUPID, or just don't care anymore!
Massachusetts has been seeing an increase in virus cases among young people across the state in recent weeks, particularly in those under 30. One reason cases are rising in public schools, educational collaboratives, and special education programs: The public school population is a part of that young group that has experienced an increase in cases.
There are also other factors at play. For one thing, there were more children and staff members in schools last week than at any time since schools shut down in March 2020. Officials estimated that about 575,000 students across the state were attending some form of in-person learning for the week ending Wednesday, and that number is expected to rise again next week, meaning the number of coronavirus cases reported next week could rise, too, but the increase could be proportional to the state’s in-person population.
Like the EVER-DIMINISHING DEATH RATE from this f**king thing?
No wonder the Globe rans this on a Saturday.
It's is F**KING INSULTING to anyone with two functioning brain cells!!
“What I would want parents to do is just to put it into that broader context,” said Russell Johnston, senior associate commissioner at the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. “The school numbers going up does not mean that schools are not safe. In fact, schools are very safe.”
They even talk to us like children!
Another potential explanation for the rise in cases: The state’s pool testing program — a faster and more cost-effective testing technique that bundles coronavirus tests — has been operating in hundreds of schools since the end of February.
Then why was the Globe crowding about a 0.7 percent positivity rate last week?
More than 1,000 schools are now participating in the pool testing program, which is free of charge for districts until the end of the academic year. Since the launch of the program, just 172 people have tested positive.
Well, $ET-UPON TAXPAYERS are paying for it so it's "free."
“The more testing you do, the more likely you are going to be to identify cases,” said Davidson H. Hamer, a professor of global health at Boston University. Some asymptomatic cases are being identified now that may have previously gone undetected.
OMFG!
That is what TRUMP SAID and he was PILLORIED by the PRE$$ for it!
What a$$holes, and if you are asymptomatic you are NOT INFECTIOUS!
The number of new school clusters — defined by state public health officials as “two or more confirmed Massachusetts cases with a common exposure” — has also been rising steadily for the past month. Clusters are reported in four-week periods in the state Department of Public Health’s weekly public health report.
So it is now POSSIBLE EXPOSURE, huh?
I don't blame teachers for not wanting to go back.
Who would want to follow the directions by these psychopathic and pathological liars?
Clusters, however, are not direct indications of in-school transmission, which state officials have said is very limited. Coronavirus transmission among public school children is largely happening outside of the classroom at family events, after-school activities, and sports games, said Johnston.
“On a very minimal basis have we seen where there’s been any type of transmission from inside a school building. The contact tracing really helps us to see that it’s happening elsewhere,” Johnston said.
UN-F**KING-REAL!!
The important part is that when cases are identified, the people infected are isolated to keep the virus from spreading in school buildings, Johnston said.
Ninety percent of school districts are set to send elementary school students back to full-time, in-person learning on Monday. Other districts, including Boston and Worcester, have received waivers from the state to return to in-person learning in the weeks to come; all elementary schools are expected to be fully in person by May 3, according to state education officials.
Both state officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said in-person school is safe for children, as long as mitigation measures are followed, including 3 feet of distance between students and universal mask wearing.
The coronavirus also continues to be significantly less severe for young, healthy children, Ellerin said. As long as the coronavirus variants don’t begin to cause widespread hospitalizations or deaths among children — which they have not — schools should be safe to remain open, he said.
“My prediction is that schools are going to go forward and not shut down. I think we’re going to be able to handle this,” Ellerin said. “I think we’ve already been in worse places than we’re going to be.”
Keep the kids home anyway and teach them quietly for someday sons and daughters will fight while we stood still!
Meanwhile, the superintendent of Boston's public schools says that to reopen high schools faster, teens need to be vaccinated because it's “so important for high school students to build community with their peers . . . and they may need the vaccine for summer jobs!!”
I'm also told the state remains in a struggle with the coronavirus more than a year after it arrived as experts are say fast-spreading coronavirus variants, pandemic fatigue, spring fever, and loosened restrictions could be behind a recent rise in cases and officials are urging people to not let their guard down while they try to vaccinate 4.1 million adults as quickly as possible with a "vaxxeen" they don't even need or want and I don't want to talk to you no more!
At the other end of the spectrum:
The mass-murder that occurred there is unheard and forgotten and he is somehow still popular(?) and been awarded a medal!
{@@##$$%%^^&&}
Time to get back to bu$ine$$:
"Good Friday, indeed. The US jobs report for March was a blowout — far better than analysts had expected and the strongest sign yet that employers have been cheered by accelerating vaccinations, fewer social-distancing restrictions, and the $1.9 trillion in relief spending recently OK’d by Congress. The economy added 916,000 jobs last month, the biggest gain in seven months, the Labor Department said Friday. Hard-hit restaurants and bars led the way, but most industries added workers. The unemployment rate dropped 0.2 percentage points to 6 percent. The news was unambiguously good, evidence that the recovery is picking up steam after a winter lull, but let’s step back for a moment to note there were still 9.7 million unemployed Americans last month. That’s 4 million more than in February 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic devastated the economy. The economic recovery has arrived a pivotal point, with states rushing to vaccinate as many people as possible before potentially more virulent variants of the coronavirus have a chance to spread even more widely. There may be a setback or two, but the vaccinations should win out by the end of the year. As the end of the pandemic comes into sight, people are jumping back into the labor force, which expanded by 347,000 to 160.5 million last month. The labor force is comprised of employed workers and those looking for a job. That pool shrunk dramatically during the crisis, in part because parents, mostly women, were forced to stay home to care for children while schools were closed. There were nearly one million fewer women over 20 years old in the labor force last month than before the pandemic. The job market recovery has a ways to go. Even at last month’s supercharged growth rate — it was the second-largest monthly increase on record, excluding the extraordinary rebounds that followed the crash in March and April of last year — employment wouldn’t be back to the peak of February 2020 for another 12 months....."
We are still in a “deep hole,” and none of us will be around when they climb out of it:
"One of the first life sciences companies to put down roots in the Seaport District may get a new building all to itself. Ginkgo Bioworks has agreed to lease 150,000 square feet in a lab building proposed by Marcus Partners, along Fid Kennedy Avenue in the Raymond L. Flynn Marine Industrial Park. Work on the eight-story building — which needs city approval — would start next year, and open in 2024. It’s a big step for the cell-production company, which launched in 2008 as a five-person startup out of MIT and today employs about 500 people, making cells for a growing array of industries and uses....."
They were “a little ahead of the game there,” and celebrated with an ice cream cone.
As for me, it's game over and I will be taking tomorrow off in honor of Easter.
