Excerpt:

Almost 80 percent of Germans want to gradually make the country independent of energy imports from Russia. 74 percent consider it important to become independent of gas imports – for example delivered via the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Renewable energies should be expanded more quickly. These are the findings of the new “Energy Trend Survey 2022” by Stiebel Eltron. In February 2022, a market research institute conducted a representative survey of 1,000 German citizens on behalf of the company.

Excerpt:

Democrats were caught off guard by Donald Trump’s numbers in South Texas in 2020. The Hispanic Republican women who live there were not.

Many of them have played a leading role in urging their neighbors in majority-Hispanic South Texas to question their traditional loyalty to the Democratic Party. Hispanic women now serve as party chairs in the state’s four southernmost border counties, spanning a distance from Brownsville almost to Laredo — places where Trump made some of his biggest inroads with Latino voters.

A half-dozen of them are running for Congress across the state’s four House districts that border Mexico, including Monica De La Cruz, the GOP front-runner in one of Texas’ most competitive seats in the Rio Grande Valley.

Excerpt:

Just over 20 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party began persecuting those in China who followed the spiritual practice of Falun Gong.

Today, Uyghur Muslims face imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Chinese government. Tomorrow, more innocent lives will fall victim to suffering at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party if Beijing’s totalitarian leaders do not face consequences for those human rights abuses.

In the new documentary film “Unsilenced,” director Leon Lee tells the true story of those who were persecuted and killed by China’s government because they practiced Falun Gong.

The film highlights the stories of those who “risk their lives and use their wisdom to find ways to counter the propaganda and fight for their freedom” in China, Lee says.

But the threats of the Chinese Communist Party extend far beyond its borders, the film director says.

Excerpt:

Novak Djokovic could be barred from the French Open later this year because he’s not vaccinated against COVID-19, a possibility that raised the stakes for the tennis star just hours after he was deported from Australia and prevented from defending his Australian Open title.

A plane carrying the No. 1-ranked player touched down in his native Serbia on Monday, closing at least the first chapter in a dizzying drama that has resonance in the world of elite sports, Australian pandemic politics, and the polarized debate over the coronavirus shots.

Djokovic was expected to receive a hero’s welcome from his countrymen, many of whom think he was unfairly treated in Australia. But only handful of fans waving the Serbian flag greeted him at the airport in the capital, Belgrade.

New Mexico Bill Would Give State Total Control Over Citizens

NM Climate Right Bill Would Give State God-Powers Over Citizens

Freedomist Editor January 17, 2022

The state of New Mexico is going full sophist Marxist, creating a law that would make it illegal to deny individuals their positive (Marxist concepts of rights, not American ones) ‘right’ to have a clean environment. The people of New Mexico are about to learn what it’s like to live under Lenin, it would seem.

Lawmakers to consider Green Amendment to New Mexico Constitution | Local News

From www.santafenewmexican.com
2022-01-16 01:31:39

Excerpt:

The proposed Green Amendment that would make a clean and healthy environment a constitutional right for New Mexicans will be taken up in the legislative session with strong Democratic backing and virtually zero Republican support.

The partisan divide is no surprise to anyone familiar with the effort to make the state constitution a backstop for environmental protection.

Advocates say it would compel the state to enforce current laws and enable it to draw on constitutional authority when regulations don’t adequately cover specific threats to the environment or public health.

Opponents say it could lead to government overreach that would hurt the state’s industries — such as fossil fuel, agriculture, timber and mining — and the communities that depend on the jobs in those sectors.

The Green Amendment has 25 co-sponsors, all Democrats, compared with four who backed the proposal when it was introduced in the 2021 legislative session but failed to get a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee. It also has drawn the support of 40 organizations, including environmental, faith, Indigenous and community groups.

“It requires the state to do its job to protect the environment,” said state Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, D-Albuquerque, one of the co-sponsors.

If the state failed to enforce rules on, say, methane emissions or the contaminated water from fracking, the amendment would give citizens added leverage to demand the state improve its oversight, Sedillo Lopez said.

But Republican state Sen. Steve Neville of Farmington, whose district is part of the natural gas-rich San Juan Basin, called the amendment “a feel-good thing” that’s too vague and broad.

It could allow the state to take sweeping, arbitrary actions against anything it deems harmful to the environment, Neville said.

“It’s a bit scary, frankly,” Neville said….

I’m sure many of you missed this on New Year’s Eve. Dollars to donuts whatever you were doing, you were not watching CNN. Just because, eww gross. But at least two people were. One of them created enough fake Twitter accounts to troll the broadcast, in a prank that would have landed him on our 2021 list of “Everyday Heroes, Legends, and Patriots Who Just ‘Don’t Give a F***’.” The other was the person who recorded the troll’s handy work and shared it on social media for our enjoyment.

“These are all fake tweets. Ben Dover. Now, look at the next one–CNN is throwing up fake Twitter names–Mike Oxlong. This is CNN. You would think they would have someone screening this sh*t. Who’s this one? Anita Blackman. What the f*ck?”

I’d say someone is getting fired. But this is the same network that employs Brian Stelter and multiple pedophiles. “Standards” aren’t exactly what the news-entertainment network is known for.

The Google Wants Drugs

Ivo Fysic November 8, 2021

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is setting up a new DeepMind to try and find new and awesome wonder drugs the mega-corpo can use to expand its market share to include the drugs you buy at the pharmacy.

Remember, folks, Google is the same company adopting draconian police-state censporship of any voice that counters the preferred narratives of the Democrat Party and the Corporate Woketarian Moral code. Why would we trust a company such as this to be the maker of our drugs, let alone the holder of patents on drugs that might be life-saving for some?

What if Alphabet cancels you from drugs for dead-naming a transgendered woman on Twitter 8 years ago? Think it can’t happen? Think again. #Cancelalphabetpx

Alphabet Chases Wonder Drugs With DeepMind AI Spinoff Isomorphic Labs

Excerpt:

AI research wunderkind, DeepMind, has long been all fun and games.

The London-based organization, owned by Google parent company Alphabet, has used deep learning to train algorithms that can take down world champions at the ancient game of Go and top players of the popular strategy video game Starcraft.

Then last year, things got serious when DeepMind trounced the competition at a protein folding contest. Predicting the structure of proteins, the complex molecules underpinning all biology, is notoriously difficult. But DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 made a quantum leap in capability, producing results that matched experimental data down to a resolution of a few atoms.

In July, the company published a paper describing AlphaFold2, open-sourced the code, and dropped a library of 350,000 protein structures with a promise to add 100 million more.

This week, Alphabet announced it will build on DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 breakthrough by creating a new company, Isomorphic Labs, in an effort to apply AI to drug discovery.

“We are at an exciting moment in history now where these techniques and methods are becoming powerful and sophisticated enough to be applied to real-world problems including scientific discovery itself,” wrote Demis Hassabis, DeepMind founder and CEO, in a post announcing the company. “Now the time is right to push this forward at pace, and with the dedicated focus and resources that Isomorphic Labs will bring.”

Hassabis is Isomorphic’s founder and will serve as its CEO while the fledgling company gets its feet, setting the agenda and culture, building a team, and connecting the effort to DeepMind. The two companies will collaborate, but be largely independent.

“You can think of [Isomorphic] as a sort of sister company to DeepMind,” Hassabis told Stat. “The idea is to really forge ahead with the potential for computational AI methods to reimagine the whole drug discovery process.”

While AlphaFold2’s success sparked the effort,…

Johannesburg — Tens of thousands of people took part in massive rallies in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa on Sunday. It was a show of support for the government as it battles an alliance of rebel forces threatening to march on the city, but there was strong anti-American sentiment at the gatherings, too.

The fighting in Ethiopia has raged for just over a year now, but what started as an isolated battle between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government and rebels in the northern Tigray region has snowballed into a fight for his political survival.

Why People Who Had Covid-19 Might Not Need the Vaccines

Paul Collier November 4, 2021

There is a case to be made for many people, for various reasons, to consider not taking one of the Covid-19 vaccines currently being offered, or, unfortunately, in many cases, being made mandatory. For instance, the people who have already been infected with Covid-19 might be the ones least in need of getting the vaccine, next to, perhaps our children under the age of 13.

One study suggests that the effective memory of Covid-19 in people who have had the virus is 93 percent at 6 months, and 92 percent at one year/ This study offers more evidence that catching the virus is an effective immunization and therapeutic potency that matches or exceeding vaccination levels perhaps for longer periods of times without additional risk to the person or to anyone else around them.

One-year sustained cellular and humoral immunities of COVID-19 convalescents, Jie Zhang, Hao Lin, Beiwei Ye, Min Zhao, Jianbo Zhan, et al.

SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibodies, and also NAb can persist among over 95% COVID-19 convalescents from 6 months to 12 months after disease onset. At least 19/71 (26%) of COVID-19 convalescents (double positive in ELISA and MCLIA) had detectable circulating IgM antibody against SARS-CoV-2 at 12m post-disease onset. Notably, the percentages of convalescents with positive SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses (at least one of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen S1, S2, M and N protein) were 71/76 (93%) and 67/73 (92%) at 6m and 12m, respectively. Furthermore, both antibody and T-cell memory levels of the convalescents were positively associated with their disease severity.

Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections, Sivan Gazit, Roei Shlezinger, Galit Perez, Roni Lotan, Asaf Peretz, Amir Ben-Tov, Dani Cohen, Khitam Muhsen, Gabriel Chodick, Tal Patalon.

Results SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease. SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected.

Necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in previously infected individuals, Nabin K. Shrestha, Patrick C. Burke, Amy S. Nowacki, Paul Terpeluk, Steven M. Gordon

Results Among the 52238 included employees, 1359 (53%) of 2579 previously infected subjects remained unvaccinated, compared with 22777 (41%) of 49659 not previously infected. The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection remained almost zero among previously infected unvaccinated subjects, previously infected subjects who were vaccinated, and previously uninfected subjects who were vaccinated, compared with a steady increase in cumulative incidence among previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated. Not one of the 1359 previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated had a SARS-CoV-2 infection over the duration of the study. In a Cox proportional hazards regression model, after adjusting for the phase of the epidemic, vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among those not previously infected (HR 0.031, 95% CI 0.015 to 0.061) but not among those previously infected (HR 0.313, 95% CI 0 to Infinity).

Conclusions Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before.

Longitudinal analysis shows durable and broad immune memory after SARS-CoV-2 infection with persisting antibody responses and memory B and T cells, Kristen W. Cohen, Susanne L. Linderman, Zoe Moodie, Julie Czartoski, Lilin Lai, Grace Mantus, Carson Norwood, Lindsay E. Nyhoff, Venkata Viswanadh Edara, et al.

Ending the COVID-19 pandemic will require long-lived immunity to SARS-CoV-2. We evaluated 254 COVID-19 patients longitudinally from early infection and for eight months thereafter and found a predominant broad-based immune memory response. SARS-CoV-2 spike binding and neutralizing antibodies exhibited a bi-phasic decay with an extended half-life of >200 days suggesting the generation of longer-lived plasma cells. In addition, there was a sustained IgG+ memory B cell response, which bodes well for a rapid antibody response upon virus re-exposure. Polyfunctional virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were also generated and maintained with an estimated half-life of 200 days. Interestingly, the CD4+ T cell response equally targeted several SARS-CoV-2 proteins, whereas the CD8+ T cell response preferentially targeted the nucleoprotein, highlighting the importance of including the nucleoprotein as a potential vaccine antigen. Taken together, these results suggest that broad and effective immunity may persist long-term in recovered COVID-19 patients.
