In a bizarre incident, 64 endangered African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) have been killed in South Africa after being stung in and around their eyes by Cape honeybees (Apis mellifera capensis).

Rangers from the South African National Parks organization (SANParks) discovered 63 of the 64 dead penguins among a colony near Cape Town in Table Mountain National Park on Friday, Sept. 17. African penguins are a protected species in South Africa and are currently listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, with around 42,000 mature individuals globally.

“The deaths occurred suddenly sometime between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning,” SANParks said in a Facebook post. “No external physical injuries were observed on any of the birds.”

A Pandemic of Lies and Authoritarian Oppression

America’s latest aspirant to Caesar’s crown, one Joseph Biden, loves to talk about a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” But the real pandemic is a pandemic of lies and authoritarian oppression, as witnessed in part in this undercover video. In this video, it becomes clear that, in this Federal hospital that allegedly serves the Native American community, all efforts bend toward concealing any and all connections between the jab and negative side effects, including death.

This doesn’t prove that, statistically speaking, the side effects don’t outweigh the benefits, but it calls into question whether due diligence is being used in sussing out the ACTUAL side effects. What is more, the entire regimen of lockdowns, censorship, criminalization, mandates, and masks, and all the other things, all tend to feature two key things: they aren’t slowing the virus appreciably as the goalposts keep being moved and they only tend to make the ruling class wealthier and more powerful than the working class who produce the wealth.

If this video of this hospital is anything approaching the norm, that’s bad news for the entire population who, based on the claims in the video, may be being forced to use a medical treatment that is ineffective and whose potential side-effects are not truthfully reported. At the very least, in this community of Native Americans in this hospital, the people are not being served with honesty and integrity. Perhaps the fact this is a Native American community has made this careless and dishonest approach acceptable to the Feds.

Fauci funded the pandemic genesis, even if unintentionally, and he should be investigated and, if reasonable cause is found, tried for mass manslaughter. See Sky News Australia’s news report on the true origins of this virus. From the beginning we were lied to.

Whether or not you get the jab is up to you, but that doesn’t change the fact we are facing a pandemic of authoritarianism as opposed to a pandemic of the unvaccinated as one of our more divisive and shrill presidents has claimed. The vaccine isn’t living up to its promise and every goalpost so far, every promise, has turned into a new goalpost and a broken promise.

Perhaps we are being lied to, perhaps we are facing uncertainty due to an evolving threat that emerged thanks to US funding of forbidden research in a Chinese lab, or perhaps we are simply dealing with widespread incompetence by the Federal Government. Whatever the case, human dignity and human rights are being eroded and, like the Patriot Act which was allegedly aimed at Islamists abroad and which has now been aimed at domestic opponents of the ruling class, nobody expects these newly minted authoritarian powers to be relinquished.

It is argued, and perhaps not without merit, this pandemic was a crime of gross negligence by the very people who now want total control as a “solution” to their crime and as a means of covering it up.

Fear truly is, as said in Dune, “the mind killer”, and fear of this virus is driving people mad. This virus should be taken seriously, it’s no joke, and yet it isn’t in any way a justification for an authoritarian overreach that isn’t even working. It is probable that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the cost, but coercion, shaming, and not being perfectly transparent will continue to make any desire to see more than, say, 80% of the population become vaccinated unlikely.

On the other hand, if it is achieved at the expense of the Bill of Rights and if such precedence stands and if these authoritarian powers remain in place like the Patriot Act, then what good has been achieved? You have survived a virus only to become a slave. Many would prefer to take their chance with the virus and death than to be reduced to a cog in a machine they cannot control.

Is this video typical or an outlier? We don’t know. But we do know that incompetence and broken promises by the Federal Government is severe and that these draconian measures aren’t working. We do know our government has a long history of suppressing truth and conducting gross crimes against humanity or simply covering up horrible mistakes.

If we want people to be vaccinated we have to have transparency and honesty at every level and we have to always, carefully, weigh our reactions to do the least harm possible to human dignity, human flourishing, and human rights. If indeed this virus is unpredictable and frustrating in its evolution, we should avoid sounding certain and making threats and promises based on that certainty. To claim certainty and use fear and promises to gain compliance and then to say “my bad, but, hey, it’s impossible to predict this thing’s course” is totally unacceptable.

The people, all people, even the doubters and squeamish, deserve to be treated with honor, respect, and honesty. Villainizing them and possibly criminalizing them and gathering authoritarian powers you will never surrender even after this ends is a wholly inhumane and unethical response that warrants the very fear and resistance the ruling class and their phony press are so upset about.

Any doubt as to Russia’s strategic commitment to a foreseeable alliance with China might be quelled by Putin’s recent decision to commit Russia to the Beijing Olympics in 2022.  So far, America has not indicated they do not intend on boycotting Beijing, but they haven’t come out to reaffirm their commitment.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to China for next year’s Winter Olympic Games, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday, while Moscow remains under penalties for state-sponsored doping.

“Putin with delight has accepted the invitation of Xi Jinping to visit the Winter Olympic Games in February 2022,” Lavrov said during a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Tajikistan.

The highest court in sports last year banned Russia from international competitions for two years as punishment for its state-backed doping program at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.

Taliban Top is Not Stable

it appears that the recent influx of boundles bounty that fell into the hands of the Taliban after America’s seemingly hasty retreat might do more to threaten the Taliban than America ever did as the nearly 20 years American forces spent toiling on those lands.

Friction In the Taliban Leadership Grows : NPR

Excerpt:

 Friction between pragmatists and ideologues in the Taliban leadership has intensified since the group formed a hard-line Cabinet last week that is more in line with their harsh rule in the 1990s than their recent promises of inclusiveness, said two Afghans familiar with the power struggle.

The wrangling has taken place behind the scenes, but rumors quickly began circulating about a recent violent confrontation between the two camps at the presidential palace, including claims that the leader of the pragmatic faction, Abdul Ghani Baradar, was killed.

Sources inside of the caucus told the Western Standard the emergency meeting saw sharp polarization around the issues of putting the province under another lockdown, a potential mandatory vaccine passport, and firing healthcare workers who do not agree to be vaccinated.

According to the MLAs who attended the caucus meeting, three MLAs openly told Kenney they had “no confidence” in him, and that several others implied as much using softer language.

India Working to Become World Model for Digital Caesarists

India is paving the way to justify a digital caesarism based on opaque and ill-defined standards of fake news. The end goal is to allow an essentially reactionary and authoritarian government to control digital speech by means of anti fake news rules.

These rules are applied to platforms that themselves unofficially censor the speech of people who disagree with the particular brand of Caesarism their owners embrace. So we have an right-leaning authoritarian government going up against the left-leaning censorious platforms in a battle that true freedom lovers cannot win.

See below for original reporting that is stunningly devoid of the deeper critique a true people-centered free press would exercise.

New IT Rules prevent fake news, misuse of freedom of press: Centre tells HC

Excerpt:

The Centre has defended the legality of the new Information Technology (IT) Rules before the Delhi High Court, saying that the rules seek to “prevent the misuse of the freedom of press” and protect the citizens from fake news in digital media space which used to be largely unregulated.The Centre, in its counter affidavit filed on a challenge to the constitutional validity of the new IT Rules, has submitted that although the right to freedom of speech and expression, including the freedom of press, is critical for a vibrant democracy like India, citizens “cannot be treated as passive consumers.”

While submitting that there have been “past incidents of disinformation on digital media leading to disturbance of public order”, the Centre has asserted that digital media “allows sensational content being re-circulated in a different context leading to misinterpretation by the audience”, making it susceptible to being used as fake news.

Tom Klingenstein is a playwright, businessman, and academic whose true north has always been threefold: loving America, fighting for freedom, and upholding vital values and core institutions which are essential to an advanced civilization. His latest speech, found at tomklingenstein.com, is called “Winning The Cold Civil War” and is both a rallying call to those opossed to the totalitarianism stalking the halls of Congress and the White House and to GOP leadership who seem to not recognize the severity and intensity of the woke communist threat to our freedom.

Klingenstein states in the speech, “Winning a war requires two fundamental understandings. First, you must understand that you are, in fact, in a war. War time requires very different rhetoric, strategy and people than peace time. Trump is a wartime leader. Second, you must understand your enemy, what it wants and how it goes about getting what it wants. What our enemy wants is the destruction of the American way of life. It goes about it by trying to force everyone to say ‘America is systemically racist.’ If it can convince us of this falsehood, it will be well on its way to overturning the American way of life. Every time Joe Biden accuses America of being systemically racist, he is, though he doesn’t know it, calling for the overthrow of the American way of life.”

After detailing the true agenda of the woke communists and their tactics of delegitimizing America itself, Klingenstein focuses on the GOP’s role in fighting back, a role that Party has, in our estimation, abdicated.

“What should we do about all this? The essential thing, as I’ve tried to stress, is for Republicans to understand we are in a war and then act accordingly. War is not a time for too much civility, compromise, or for imputing good motives to the enemy. Our generals must fight as if the choice were between liberty and death. This is no time for sunshine patriots”, Klingenstein opined.

The effort to cancel America itself and replace it with woke communism, what we have called a new brand of communist totalitarianism that couples state and corporate power for authoritarian ends, has been barely acknowledged by the Republicans, who we often call a collaboration party for that reason.

May Tom’s rousing and intelligent call to action be seen by millions and embraced by all. Watch the speech and share it far and wide.

Attacks on Eritrean refugees in Tigray ‘clear war crimes’: HRW | Human Rights News

From www.aljazeera.com

Excerpt:

 

Eritrean soldiers and Tigrayan militias raped, detained and killed Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray in attacks that amounted to “clear war crimes”, an international rights watchdog has said.

Human Rights Watch’s report on Thursday contained detailed attacks around two camps in Tigray, where local forces have battled the Ethiopian government and their Eritrean allies since November in a conflict that has rocked the Horn of Africa region.

Tens of thousands of Eritrean refugees live in Tigray, a mountainous and poor province of about five million people.

“The horrific killings, rapes, and looting against Eritrean refugees in Tigray are clear war crimes,” said Laetitia Bader, the Horn of Africa director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), whose work drew on interviews with 28 refugees and other sources, including satellite imagery.

Excerpt:

The European Parliament adopted a resolution Thursday calling on Poland’s prime minister to cancel a case in which he asks a top Polish court whether Poland’s or the European Union’s law takes precedence in the country.

The court’s ruling, when it eventually comes, could be of fundamental nature for the EU legal order and for Poland’s relations with the bloc. Poland’s right-wing government insists that law systems are the sole responsibility of member states, not of the EU.
