UK sunshine law reveals 2021 spike in cardiac events

Well it turns out that the United Kingdom has a Freedom of Information Act, passed by parliament in 2000, and it is also called the “Freedom of Information Act.”

Thanks to this law, we were able to find out a devastating new statistic from the National Health Service. Between 2020 and 2021, in the second most populous county in England, the average monthly number of cardiac emergency calls nearly doubled in patients under 30 years of age.

Kyiv connection: How the Charlottesville boys learned from Europe's far right

By Tatiana Prophet
Court documents show that the leader of a white nationalist group involved in the 2017 Charlottesville tiki-torch violence later went to Europe for Adolf Hitler’s birthday with a stop in Ukraine to bond with the street-violence wing of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.

In a criminal complaint filed in 2018, FBI Special Agent Scott Bierwirth stated that based on his interviews with Customs and Border Patrol Agents as well as evidence from public and private social media postings, two leaders of the recently founded Rise Above Movement, an “alt-right” mixed martial arts “fight club” based in Southern California, traveled to Ukraine for a black metal rock concert, a gym workout — and an MMA fight at the Reconquista Club in Kyiv.

People are still dying of Covid despite effective treatments

Multiple local news affiliates around the country reported yesterday that Mkayla Robinson, 13, died “of COVID-19” one day after testing positive for the virus.

“This did not have to happen! Thanks a lot America!” posted one Facebook user with the hashtag “#totallypreventable #howdoyousleepatnight #alldoneonpurpose.”

The Facebook user also recently posted that he got his vaccine in April and May.

He’s entirely correct that her death was preventable. But he is probably not aware exactly how easily this can happen — vaccinated or not.

Five months later: what we know about the Capitol riot

By Tatiana Prophet

The truth is bad enough. It doesn’t need embellishment. That’s why we’re taking a look at how reporting has changed about the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, and what we now know.

We’ve all seen the videos and photos, especially of the violent entry by some of the participants, and most noticeably, the man who pinned a police officer with a riot shield, causing the officer to cry for help. We know that the day spiraled into bedlam and chaos. We know the police were not adequately supported; and we also know that there were certain individuals with a history of inciting violence who were not Trump supporters, doing that very thing on that day. And we also know that the American public was shaken by these images and events. It felt like a violation to all of us. Metro Police Department chief Robert Contee reported that 56 officers were injured in the day’s events.

Initial reporting, and for many months after the event, repeatedly called the event “deadly” and an “insurrection,” even before it was over. T

EXCLUSIVE: Lawfirm repping FB in $20B tax case is also aiding Oversight Board

By Tatiana Prophet

Baker McKenzie, an elite global law firm, has been representing Facebook in a now 20-billion-dollar legal claim by the IRS at the same time that the firm has been involved in staffing the tech giant’s Oversight Board. While the trial began in February 2020, there has been a veritable news blackout on the courtroom events.

On Wednesday, the Oversight Board ruled that Facebook could uphold its restriction of President Donald Trump’s account for six more months, but cautioned that the company needed a procedure and criteria by which to take action and impose penalties.

Two Capitol insurgents made previous headlines at climate, BLM events

Two of the most visible antagonists at the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol melee had previously made headlines — literally — for their over-the-top performances in protests of a much different kind.

Jake Angeli was wearing his same “shaman” outfit at a Phoenix climate protest in September 2019. While he was pictured carrying a sign “Q Sent Me” on Jan. 6, at the Maricopa County Courthouse he carried a sign stating “The poles are shifting! The ice caps are melting! This is Ragnarok! It’s time to wake up!” Ragnarok is the final battle of Norse mythology. This was published in the Arizona Republic in an article that described the crowd as “in the hundreds.”

But it seems that by February 2020, Angeli’s views had shifted toward supporting Donald Trump — or at least picking up the cause of the Q movement, according to an article in USA Today in which they cited the Arizona Republic (under common ownership with USA Today, by Gannett), as the source.

The Los Angeles ICU bed shortage seems more like a budget problem

Covid-related admissions and deaths have nearly doubled since Dec. 1; but the state can handle them better than we think
By Tatiana Prophet
The L.A. Times, the Guardian, and every medium in between have told us that Southern California ICUs are as good as closed - 0 percent capacity. How could we question them?

Because the word “capacity” is nebulous. Capacity of what? Licensed beds? No. Medical personnel to staff those beds? Yes, that’s it.

“There are still hospital beds, it’s a question of staffing,” said Cathy Chidester, director of L.A. County’s Emergency Medical Services agency, in a telephone interview. “We ask the state for staffing.” By “we,” she means the four hospitals directly under her purview.

She added: “All of the hospitals are looking for staff,“ she said, indicating that the hospitals that operate outside of DHS have staffing registries.

Solarwinds software, a Dominion voting vendor, snagged in massive hack

By Tatiana Prophet

One week after a U.S. government cyber-security contractor announced their own ‘hacking’ tools had been stolen by a nation-level hacking operation, the U.S. Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency has instructed all civilian government agencies to "identify and shut off instances of SolarWinds Orion software running or connected to any government system."

FireEye, the Silicon Valley cyber security firm, said hackers stole the tools they use to detect vulnerabilities in their clients. Apparently the hackers used these tools to inject malware into SolarWinds Orion software, used by hundreds of thousands of public and private clients around the world including in the United States.

Dominion Voting Systems, implemented in 28 U.S. states for the 2020 election, uses SolarWinds technology for at least one operation: a password-protected file sharing page. Internet sleuths posted links and screenshots of SolarWinds Worldwide LLC and logo at the bottom of a Dominion web page. By the end of the day the logo was removed but the link to SolarWinds’ Serv-U page was still there (click on Serv-U at bottom). And the Dominion-SolarWinds page can still be seen on the Internet Wayback Machine.

Judge orders release of Dominion forensic analysis as media cast doubt on 'debunked' fraud claims

Media puts focus on ‘inaccurate’ election fraud claims by cyber ‘expert’
UPDATE 5 pm PST December 14, 2020:
Read the analysis, by Allied Security Operations Group’s Russell J. Ramsland, Jr., here:
Antrim Michigan Forensics Report REVISED PRELIMINARY SUMMARY, v2

UPDATE 9 am PST December 14, 2020:
Judge Kevin A Elsenheimer granted a request to release the results of a forensic audit of Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, Mich., as representatives of the Secretary of State were already questioning the validity of the audit’s conclusions.

According to the Traverse City Record-Eagle, in an early morning remote hearing, an attorney for the state of Michigan did not object to disclosure as long as the state could present a rebuttal. And the judge agreed that any proprietary source code should be redacted.

Greenwald resigns from The Intercept over Biden censorship

Glenn Greenwald, who famously interviewed Edward Snowden and brought his explosive information to the world, has resigned from the paper he co-founded in 2013 over censorship by his fellow publishers.

"This was not an easy choice: I am voluntarily sacrificing the support of a large institution and guaranteed salary in exchange for nothing other than a belief that there are enough people who believe in the virtues of independent journalism and the need for free discourse who will be willing to support my work by subscribing,” he wrote on Substack dot com, where good journalists go to write another day with very little reward.

While The Intercept is generally progressive-leaning, the paper's leadership is both centrist and leftist, Greenwald revealed. Centrist these days means the DNC machine. Unnamed editors at The Intercept attempted to delete all mention of corruption allegations about the Biden family in his latest article. They even rejected Greenwald’s suggestion that they counter his article with writings of their own.

CDC shows a slight rise in Covid cases; other rates stable

While the death rate is currently flat, hospitalizations are up in some areas and stable in others. From all the curves we’ve observed, it almost looks like each time there’s a rise in percentages of each indicator, the rise is shorter than the previous rise. Further, the “milestone” in the news today — the most positive cases since the peak in July — is for cases. And President Trump’s got it right, cases do not necessarily indicate severity as in hospitalizations or deaths. Keep an eye on hospitalizations and deaths, and don’t let anyone scare you.

Remember what we’ve learned in previous CDC articles: if any statistic is described as Covid-Like, Pneumonia-Like, and/or Influenza-Like, that means the illness was NOT laboratory confirmed. When it’s definitely lab-confirmed is when they list the statistic as just Covid — cases or deaths. This is important because these numbers are overlapping. This also applies to deaths, because in the United States the medical coding is the SAME for both lab-confirmed, and non-lab-confirmed, deaths. As long as the doctor thinks it’s Covid, it will be counted. But if there is no lab test, then the Pneumonia/Covid/Influenza deaths will be overlapping with the Covid/Pneumonia but no Influenza, and so on.

New ruling in tribal bond scheme draws scrutiny of Biden business deals

Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner, Devon Archer, was convicted of defrauding an Indian tribe in South Dakota, but his conviction was vacated by Judge Ronnie Abrams, sister of ABC Legal Correspondent Dan Abrams and wife of Robert Mueller team’s lawyer Greg Andres. This month, the appeals court asserted there was plenty of evidence Archer knew what he was doing, and bank statements bear that out. But the bank statements also show a lot of activity involving Hunter Biden. Here’s how.

By Tatiana Prophet

On October 7, 2020, the 2nd district court of appeals reinstated the conviction of Hunter Biden’s business partner, Devon Archer, for enacting a fraudulent bond issue by a division of the Oglala Sioux Nation for a Ponzi scheme that had Archer and his posse running all ends of the deal.

But while Archer and the six other clowns all got caught and arrested, Biden succeeded in distancing himself from the scandal – in spite of payments made to him from the same bank account that Archer used to receive the $15 million in fraudulent bonds, then wire the proceeds to another co-conspirator.

No antigens? Even better, you may have T-cells that remember Corona

'It looks increasingly like T cells might be a secret source of immunity to Covid-19.'

@back2facts wire

The BBC reports that some people may be immune to Covid-19 even if they get back a negative antigen test. According to their article from July 19, 2020:”Several studies have shown that people infected with Covid-19 tend to have T cells that can target the virus, regardless of whether they have experienced symptoms. So far, so normal. But scientists have also recently discovered that some people can test negative for antibodies against Covid-19 and positive for T cells that can identify the virus. This has led to suspicions that some level of immunity against the disease might be twice as common as was previously thought.
