lifesitenews--2020-10-28--Doctor group demands Biden promise to make hydroxychloroquine standard COVID treatment

LOS ANGELES , October 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Speaking on Tuesday in Warm Springs , Georgia , presidential candidate Joe Biden said , “ The nation needs … a president guided , not by wishful thinking , but by science , reason and facts .
That ’ s the kind of president I hope to be .
… We will act on the first day of my presidency to get COVID under control.
” Yesterday ’ s hopeful rhetoric diverged sharply from Biden ’ s gloomy remarks in the second and final presidential debate , when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offering a plan to safely re-open the country and avoid a second lockdown .
America ’ s Frontline Doctors ( AFLDS ) today released the following statement in response : “ Joe Biden says he has a plan to get us through the pandemic .
If Joe Biden wants to actually keep his promise to the American people and get the COVID-19 pandemic ‘ under control , ’ he should support making hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) over the counter for every American .
HCQ is safe , effective and inexpensive compared with other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ needlessly maligned by politicians and the mainstream media .
“ We call on the Biden campaign to drop its politically correct rhetoric and support making this FDA-approved drug freely available over the counter , just as it has been across the world for decades , so that those with early-stage infections can get the help they need .
Supporting early treatment options will mean millions of at-risk Americans can recover more quickly .
That ’ s a real plan to help get us through this pandemic , ” said AFLDS members .

Twitter just deplatformed President Trump premanently! And, other conservatives, including General Flynn and Sidney Powell, were also deplatformed.
Conservatives, Christians and freedom-loving Americans of all political persuasions must now take a decision to preserve their free speech AND their ability to peaceably assemble by dumping Twitter and Big Tech, and by finding other good alternatives to communicate with each other and share their opinions.
Please SIGN our petition-pledge to Dump Twitter and Big Tech, and take back your freedom of speech and privacy. [CLICK HERE for our "Goodbye Google" resources page to find good alternatives to Google!]
When you use Twitter or Facebook to communicate, or Google to search for something online, these companies can stifle your ability to share your thoughts and opinions and manipulate your search results, threatening your privacy, your freedom of speech, and even our democracy.
Evidence suggests that Twitter and Facebook's 'community guidelines' are selectively enforced against conservatives and Christians, while Google rigs their search algorithms to direct traffic away from conservative and Christian websites, effectively choking traffic to those sites.
Simply put, Twitter, Facebook and Google (who owns YouTube) appear to be actively suppressing access to pro-freedom, pro-family and pro-life news and opinion.
Don't contribute to this assault on democracy: Stop using Twitter, Facebook and Google as your default social media platforms and search engine! [CLICK HERE to find a good alternative to Google.]
To repeat: a few liberal and completely unaccountable computer programmers in Silicon Valley are dictating what we do and do not see in our Twitter and Facebook feeds, and in our Google searches.
We, here, at LifeSite, also recently had our Twitter account suspended by the company over "misgendering" a man who claims to be a woman.
LifeSite has also experienced a fall-off in Google search-related traffic since the company updated its search algorithms at the beginning of May.
And, since the November election, Twitter and Big Tech appear to have dramatically INCREASED their censorship of conservatives and Christians as the President Trump disputed the results of the election and when evidence of election fraud began to mount.
Now, it seems likely that they are trying to cut-off conservative leaders (like President Trump) from conservatives on the ground, and effectively exclude us from the national conversation.
But, this tactic will not work. Because Twitter, Facebook and Google are not the only game in town! There are a good number of excellent alternatives which we list in our 'Goodbye Google' Resources page.
The great irony is that, while Twitter, Facebook and Google executives talk a lot about maintaining freedom of speech and diversity, in fact, these hypocrites are ATTACKING free speech point-blank!
This kind of manipulation poses a lethal threat to our democracy, but as we see so clearly now, Twitter and Big Tech have shown no hesitation in excluding conservatives and Christians from the public square.
So, at this point, the only way to stop Twitter, Facebook and Google is to quit using their platform.

lifesitenews--2020-10-28--‘Targeted attack against Jews’: NYC health official caught issuing COVID fine to empty Jewish school

BROOKLYN , NY , October 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – New York health inspectors , apparently following Governor Cuomo ’ s lead in blaming “ ultra-orthodox ” Jews for new COVID cases , have been targeting Jewish institutions and businesses with tickets for allegedly not being compliant with current emergency health orders .
In one case , health inspectors were caught on film issuing a “ summons ” to a Jewish school despite the fact that the school was closed down and no children were present .
On Monday , the director of an Orthodox Jewish school in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caught a health inspector writing up a summons outside the school despite its compliance with the city ’ s current emergency health orders , reported The Yeshiva World .
Organizations found in violation of the orders face a fine of $ 15,000 .
The video shows two inspectors visiting Yeshivat Shaare Torah on Coney Island Avenue in the Midwood section of Brooklyn .
In the video , posted to social media on Monday , the director of the school can be heard objecting to the health inspector ’ s action .
“ There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you were just writing up a summons outside , ” he said .
“ If I hadn ’ t opened the door , you would ’ ve put a summons on my door , ” the director continued .
When the inspector was pressed as to why she was giving a ticket to the Jewish school , she replied that she was following orders .
“ Because we have a list , ” the inspector said .
When pressed on the matter , the inspector indicated that she had been given a list @ @ @ @ @ @ @ summons .
“ But why were you writing the summons outside though ?
There ’ s nobody in here , ” the director replied .
The Yeshiva World provided a photograph of one such list that health inspectors were allegedly using to make their visits , pointing out that “ not one non-Jewish institution is on this list.
” Some Jewish observers are now questioning if the city ’ s actions are a “ targeted attack against Jews.
” The Jewish community has been active in opposing the state ’ s emergency measures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Orthodox Jews filed to have a temporary restraining order against the implementation of the new restrictive measures in the governor ’ s executive order .

PETITION UPDATE (8/27/2020)
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE this petition, which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask orders within their borders.
Facebook has restored the share link for this petition, saying that the decision to block it was a 'mistake...'
Please share with your Facebook friends, but we should all take heed of this warning: when an organization or individuals have to beg, plead and cajole just to express objective truths, it may be time to start looking for other social networking platforms.
Facebook needs to treat its users with respect, no matter their political persuasion. Moreover, Facebook needs to treat objective reality and facts with more respect.
One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
________________________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/25/2020)
Facebook is actively censoring this petition, saying that some people find it 'abusive.'
How anyone could find alternate facts about oppressive mask mandates 'abusive' is incredible...that is, impossible to believe.
This is exactly the kind of censorship which Big Tech is getting a bad reputation for.
The fact that Facebook calls differing opinion and objective reality "abusive" says a lot about Facebook and their agenda to silence reason and logic, not just conservatives and Christians.
But, people are more intelligent than Facebook give them credit for.
And, the more this continues, the more reasonable people will look alternate platforms to share their thoughts and connect with their friends and family. The more that happens, the less revenue Facebook will generate.
All of us have a decision to make, and the time is coming where we might have to tell our Facebook friends that we are moving to another platform.
We are encouraging people to continue SIGNING this petition and SHARING it via other platforms such as Parler and Gab, and to share the link below with your family and friends on Whatsapp, Telegram, Threema and Signal.
Thank you!

One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask mandates within their borders.
Public health policies should be based on science and logic, not on the type of political posturing and virtue-signaling which led Joe Biden to recently call for a national mask mandate.
And, public health policies certainly shouldn't lead to a situation where more people could become sick.
But, that is exactly what these mandatory mask mandates are doing.
Here are four inconvenient facts about masks:
1) Masks** are largely ineffective at stopping the transmission of viruses.
The vast majority of masks worn by the public are made from material which cannot filter-out viruses because virus particles are too small to catch or obstruct. Wearing cloth masks to stop a virus is like putting a bee in a bird cage to keep it from flying away.
Wearing a mask for long periods of time ensures that the wearer has a warm and moist receptacle around his or her mouth, on which viruses and bacteria can land and accumulate.
Thus, masks are actually likely to have little effect in stopping the spread of COVID-19 acting as a barrier, but could actually make things worse acting as a receptacle.
2) Mandates which call for masks to be worn outdoors are both absurd and oppressive.
3) There are clearly documented hazards of wearing masks for long periods of time.
4) And, since school is on everyone's mind...
Notwithstanding the above information on the ineffectiveness of most masks against viruses, we don't know if asymptomatic children can even transmit the virus.
But, it was a reported in an article in the July 21, 2020 Uk Times that: "There has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the UK government's leading scientific advisers."
And, we also know that children are extremely unlikely to get seriously ill or die from COVID infections. In any case, children cannot possibly be expected to wear a mask properly in a way that would cut transmission.
There are still a lot of unknowns about COVID-19, but we have grown in our understanding of this disease since the beginning of the crisis.
The knowledge we have gained should allow government and health authorities to make more nuanced policies than the current one-size-fits-all mask mandates.
Where are the legislative hearings in county commissions, and state, provincial or federal legislatures before these drastic actions are mandated? Where are the open and transparent debates among experts that provide our representatives with the necessary information to make good policy decisions?
The real pandemic is the panic and the resulting tyranny that is being caused by dictatorial governors, corporate media and the monopolistic Big Tech.
The truth is that COVID-19 is like a bad cold for most people; this is not ebola or the plague.
Of course, the very elderly and those with serious health conditions should take precautions or be quarantined, but the rest of society should begin the long process of returning to normality.
The frenzy to force everyone to wear a mask, at all times, has gone beyond all comprehension, and goes against science and logic.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse any mandatory mask order within the borders of their county, state, province, or country.
Thank you!

lifesitenews--2020-10-28--Texas Attorney General to investigate ‘ballot chasing’ operation to buy votes for Dems

BEXAR COUNTY , Texas , October 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Texas law enforcement will be looking into recent revelations from Project Veritas regarding a “ ballot chasing ” operation to essentially buy votes for Democrat candidates through various material rewards .
The conservative watchdog group ’ s undercover investigation followed Raquel Rodriguez , who “ nominally ” worked as a political consultant for Republican House candidate Mauro Garza but in practice was working to shift votes toward Democrats , via what Veritas chief James O ’ Keefe calls a “ a mix of gifts and coercion to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” in violation of “ both federal and state law.
” “ Yeah , I 'm getting the Biden vote out , but I mean I 'm not going to do it for free – in other words , if they don ’ t pay me , I ’ m like excuse me ?

“ I 'm against Trump .
OK .
I 'm with Biden and I ’ m with ( MJ ) Hegar .
That 's the truth .
I 've got three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are Democrats.
” “ My people are undercover because some of them are Republicans , ” she added .
“ Some of them are Democrats .
Some of them are just wanting to get the right people in office , so some of the Republicans are precinct chairs that can not be known because they could get kicked out , but they want to help Biden – and so that 's how they 're helping me.
” “ I can honestly say I 'm bringing at least at least 7,000 votes to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example , “ if y ’ all are my seniors , I ’ m literally picking you up .

I go throughout the entire city .
If I have a bunch of them , what I do if I have a bunch of them , I 'll take 20 ( ballots ) here , 30 ( ballots ) here , 40 ( ballots ) here.
” Project Veritas filmed one such encounter , in which Rodriguez told a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whoever you want , but our conversation that we had , you said you were voting for Hegar , ‘ cause you were going straight Democrat .
You said you 're voting straight Democrat per our conversation , so that when you 're voting for the straight Dem -- ‘ cause that 's what you want to do , correct ?

Rodriguez then rewarded the woman with a new shawl .
The shawl is just one example of the rewards these ballot chasers use to induce the desired vote .
Others include , by Rodriguez ’ s own admission , rosaries , diabetic socks , wallets , and even free meals .
“ This coming Thursday at a bar , we ’ re going to feed 45 ex-felons that we registered because they ’ re going to all vote , ” she explained .
“ I got some people to go to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to f***ing take them beer .

“ Rodriguez may qualify for a sentence enhancement under Texas Election Code §276.012 , which increases the penalty for ballot harvesting if three or more people are involved , ” he says .
“ Rodriguez boasts of having over a dozen ballot harvesters on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into state felonies , punishable by up to two years ( ... ) Rodriguez is prohibited by Texas law to assist voters unless the voter does not read the language the ballot is written in or is otherwise unable to fill out the ballot on their own.

Let's get to 7500 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Please SIGN this petition which asks the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to launch an investigation into the controversial WE Charity contract deal. Canadians deserve a corruption-free government, but allegations of impropriety are hanging over matters related to the WE Charity contract deal with the current government. And, only the RCMP is positioned to launch an independent inquiry into the issues of whether or not any laws were broken, and or possible abuse of political office for personal or family gain. Indeed, the WE Charity was criticized in June 2020 when the Canadian government selected the charity to administer the Canada Student Service Grant program, a $900 million program which would help students experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of particular concern are revelations that WE Charity paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to members of the Trudeau family for past speaking engagements, and that the charity paid for Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s vacation (Morneau later repaid them). These revelations obviously raise serious questions: What is the connection between WE Charity and high-ranking government officials?
What, if anything, did either party stand to gain from this contract?
Why and how was the $43.53 M contract awarded to WE Charity without going through a competitive bidding process?
And, was the Lobbying Act violated? The main concern is that the charity has deep connections with the Trudeau Family and other important government officials, and that serious conflicts of interests may have existed between members of government and the charity...and that laws may have been broken. Although an investigation into the connection between the federal government and WE Charity was launched, questions have not been answered. Instead, more questions have been brought up. Since the story broke, the Liberals have repeatedly delayed voting on the release of WE Charity documents. And, just recently, a motion, which was sponsored by the Conservatives in the House of Commons and which called for an investigation into the relationships between WE Charity and the government and Ministers of the Crown and their families, was defeated. But, the fact that the government and its political allies seem to be trying to bury this issue politically should not distract the attention of law enforcement who have a duty to ensure that government officials are held to account for serious breaches of conflict of interest. No government leader or official should behave as though they are above the law. Please SIGN this petition which calls on the RCMP to launch an independent investigation into the WE Charity controversy. Then, please SHARE with your like-minded family, friends and relations.

lifesitenews--2020-10-28--Fauci says masks might be necessary ‘into 2022,’ in spite of vaccine

PHILADELPHIA , Pennsylvania , October 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Dr. Anthony Fauci , the most prominent member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force , recently proposed that even with a vaccine , social distancing and mask mandates may be necessary through 2021 and “ into 2022.
” The immunologist , who has served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) for 36 years , made these statements during a Zoom meeting with the medical community of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia earlier this month .
When asked how long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fauci stated that , presuming a vaccine is 70 % effective , many months will pass prior to society reaching herd immunity , according to the Inquirer .
“ You ’ re not going to have a profound degree of herd immunity for a considerable period of time , maybe toward the end of 2021 , into 2022 , ” he said .
“ I feel very strongly that we ’ re going to need to have some degree of public-health measures to continue.
” Fauci also advised against expectations a vaccine would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 , stating that for respiratory viruses , vaccines are often less effective .
“ It ’ s not going to be the way it was with polio and measles , where you get a vaccine , case closed , it ’ s done , ” he said .
“ It ’ s going to be public-health measures that linger for months and months . ''
In a later CNN interview , Fauci was more explicit on the public health measures he had in mind , emphasizing his strong support for mask mandates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not wearing masks , then maybe we should be mandating it … I think that would be a great idea to everybody doing it uniformly.
” Dr. Fauci ’ s comments come following a recent “ White Coat Summit ” gathering in the nation ’ s capital , where a group of well-credentialed doctors , called “ America ’ s Frontline Doctors , ” was most critical of the government ’ s and the media ’ s response to the coronavirus .
With regards to efficacy of masks , physician and attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ facts are not in dispute : masks are completely irrelevant to blocking the SARS-CoV-2 virus … Prior to masks becoming political in March 2020 , there was never even an attempt at a pretense that masks , let alone bandanas , stop a virus .
It ’ s a complete fabrication.
” Gold cited a March 2020 interview of Dr. Fauci himself to confirm her point .
On 60 Minutes , the immunologist said , “ When you ’ re in the middle of an outbreak , wearing a mask might make people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might even block a droplet but it ’ s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is .
And often there are unintended consequences ; people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.
” In addition , Gold cited the New England Journal of Medicine which acknowledged that “ masks serve symbolic roles ” and are thus mere talismans “ that may help increase ” a person ’ s “ perceived sense of safety.
” Dr. Lee Merritt , a spine surgeon and member of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40 % of my life in a mask .
And I can tell you in my entire career … nobody was talking about masks as a control mechanism for viruses.
” Viruses are passed by tiny “ .12 micron ” particles “ that sneak out through the mask and around the mask … Even the very best medical masks can not screen out , can not protect , from this type of small particle virus.
” Indeed , she continued , “ the atmosphere and the whole air fluidity is filled with viruses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time .
You can ’ t mask that away.
” Therefore , she concluded , “ masks don ’ t control viruses , they control you.
” They “ may look like they are not much … just a little soft piece of cloth over your face .
What ’ s the big deal ?
The big deal is , they may be soft , and they may look okay , but this is George Orwell ’ s boot on a human face forever if we don ’ t get this off.

October 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The promoters of bill C-6 , a bill introduced early this year by the Trudeau liberals which seeks to suppress so-called “ conversion therapy ” from homosexuality to heterosexuality , are in a bit of a bind .
Why ?
Because their hopelessly flawed bill enshrines two contradictory doctrines and leads to the unconstitutional establishment of an LGBT confessional state .
Let us start with the contradictory doctrines enshrined in C-6 .
The first is what can be called the “ nature ” theory of homosexual orientation .
In the mind of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defense of “ gay rights ” is the affirmation that there is what could be called a “ gay gene ” or , in other words , a biological determination of sexual orientation against which it would be absurd to fight .
( Now , this is actually in itself a bad argument , because even if there was a gay gene — which there is not — , one could still fight it , just as one could fight any other condition that had a genetic component , like alcoholism , for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad , and cruel , they say , because it goes against a person ’ s nature , his so-called innate sexual orientation .
Therapy , in their mind , can only lead to repression of one ’ s nature , to becoming twisted and maladjusted .
Now , along comes another doctrine , gender theory , which is the exact opposite of the “ nature ” theory of homosexual orientation .
Gender theory says that one ’ s identity is independent of one ’ s biological nature , that identity is independent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out even further : according to gender theory , not only one ’ s orientation , but one ’ s whole gender , attitudes , behavioral patterns , manner of thinking and acting , is completely detached from biology .
So , in fact , proponents of gender theory at the very least state that biology does not determine orientation .
Clearly , therefore , homosexual “ nature ” theory and gender theory , both of which happen to be nonsense in themselves , are also incompatible with each other .
And yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ implicitly , because , while it suppresses conversion therapy on the basis that one ’ s orientation can not change ( calling a “ myth ” the fact that a person ’ s sexual orientation and gender identity can change ) , it permits “ gender transition ” and “ a person ’ s exploration of their identity or to its development ” on the basis that one ’ s sexual identity is not biologically determined .
This incoherence in itself should be reason enough to reject this bill .
But it gets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is method behind this madness .
Behind the incoherence is a dark , unavowed motive , which is to eliminate religious freedom in practice while keeping it “ on the books ” in theory , that is , without explicitly striking this right from the Constitution .
How do the promoters of C-6 aim to abolish religious freedom ?
We can find out by asking this simple question : how can the promoters of this bill , who surely profess to be fair and balanced , who profess the right for people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , then turn around and say that a person with same-sex attraction can not “ explore his identity and its development ” in the heterosexual direction ?
Remember , they can not answer , in the manner of a proponent of the “ nature theory ” of sexual orientation , “ because same-sex attracted persons are ‘ born that way , ’ ” because , according to gender theory , which they also espouse , biology doesn ’ t have the last word on what “ identity ” a person is free to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which allows the promoters of C-6 to favor “ transition ” ( conversion ? )
or “ exploration ” only in one direction , to the LGBT lifestyle , must therefore have an underlying motive .
What could it be ?
Well , the promoters of this bill must know that the main reason why people would choose to “ explore ” in the direction of heterosexuality is for the sake of a deeply held , alternative , moral and religious conviction , shared by Christianity , Judaism and Islam , among @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong .
The promoters of this bill hate this religious viewpoint .
They want to get rid of this religious viewpoint .
But they can not so easily get rid of it , given the constitutional protections afforded to freedom of religion .
Since they can not abide any doctrine questioning homosexuality and can not ban these directly ( for now ) , they seek to criminalize conversion away from homosexuality , thus accomplishing in practice what they can not accomplish in theory .
Religious discrimination is therefore the real reason why C-6 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ zealots allowing conversions only to what they believe should be the state religion , and criminalizing conversions away from it .
But notwithstanding its Anglican tradition , Canada is not a confessional state .
Canada , as per its Constitution , does not accept the criminalization of religious and moral convictions , in the name of an “ official ” LGBT faith .
Let no one , therefore , be fooled : C-6 is nothing more , nothing less , than the establishment , by stealth , of a confessional LGBT state in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to its viewpoint while criminalizing conversions away from it .
For that reason alone , C-6 ought to be rejected .

Behind the bill is a dark, unavowed motive, which is to eliminate religious freedom in practice while keeping it 'on the books' in theory

So, in fact, proponents of gender theory at the very least state that biology does not determine orientation.
Clearly, therefore, homosexual “nature” theory and gender theory, both of which happen to be nonsense in themselves, are also incompatible with each other.

Remember, they cannot answer, in the manner of a proponent of the “nature theory” of sexual orientation, “because same-sex attracted persons are ‘born that way,’” because, according to gender theory, which they also espouse, biology doesn’t have the last word on what “identity” a person is free to choose.
This lack of logical consistency, which allows the promoters of C-6 to favor “transition” (conversion?) or “exploration” only in one direction, to the LGBT lifestyle, must therefore have an underlying motive. What could it be? Well, the promoters of this bill must know that the main reason why people would choose to “explore” in the direction of heterosexuality is for the sake of a deeply held, alternative, moral and religious conviction, shared by Christianity, Judaism and Islam, among many other traditions, that homosexuality is wrong.

October 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Former Vice President Joe Biden is “ compromised ” by his family ’ s business dealings with foreign interests , of which the Democrat presidential nominee was fully aware , retired Navy lieutenant Tony Bobulinski told Fox News ’ Tucker Carlson in an in-depth interview Tuesday evening .

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which calls on the U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, to investigate the allegations of corruption and influence-peddling against former Vice President Joe Biden. In an interview on Fox News, just this morning, the President stated: "This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election." If proven true, these outrageous allegations against Biden could have massive implications for national security! Americans do not want a president who will sell out his country to the highest bidder in order to enrich his family or save them from prosecution. This scandal began last week when the New York Post dropped a bombshell story alleging that then Vice President Biden pressured Ukrainian authorities to fire a prosecutor who was investigating a company with ties to the Biden Family. And, in another expose by the NY Post, also last week, the Biden Family is alleged to have improperly profited from deals made with one of the largest Chinese energy companies because of Vice President Biden's position in government. Please SIGN our petition to support President Trump calling on the Attorney General to launch an investigation with all due haste. The American public deserves to know the truth about Joe Biden and his involvement, if any, in this apparent influence-peddling scandal. Serious questions need to be answered with all urgency!

Here ’ s the first that stood out : In my opinion , ecclesiastical approval for “ civil unions ” will favor the dechristianization and dehumanization of society .
With all the respect and affection that I profess for the Vicar of Christ , I would venture to think that the expressions he has made on the topic covered in the film “ Francis ” are not part of the magisterium .
The same point was made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former head of the Vatican ’ s doctrinal office , who said that there are moments where Catholics “ have to criticize many ideas and actions of individual Popes.

October 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In an essay published today at InfoCatolica, and translated and published with permission at LifeSiteNews, Archbishop Héctor Aguer, the former Auxiliary Bishop of Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio when he became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, has distanced himself from the Pope’s own comments about the need for homosexual civil unions.
Both Bergoglio and Aguer were appointed Auxiliary Bishops of Buenos Aires in 1992, and both were named archbishops of dioceses in 1998, Bergoglio to Buenos Aires and Aguer to La Plata a month later.
I wanted to share some reflections about just some of the crucially important points he raises in his article. Here’s the first that stood out:
The same point was made today by Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former head of the Vatican’s doctrinal office, who said that there are moments where Catholics “have to criticize many ideas and actions of individual Popes.”
More from Archbishop Aguer:
I would compare it to conversations that the popes have with reporters in the aisles of airplanes during their trips; they may be interesting, but they lack the specificity that is proper to a magisterial act; although they are issued by a relevant person, they don’t pass beyond the status of a private opinion.
To learn more about the question of papolatry, watch this 2018 interview with Cardinal Raymond Burke.
Archbishop Auger continues:
His Excellency is spot on. We can clearly see a split in the Church over this issue, as Cardinals Burke, Müller and Archbishops Viganò and Schneider have sounded the alarm about the Pope’s latest remarks, while other clergy thought to be “conservatives” such as Cardinal Sean O’Malley have said there is nothing to see here.
What’s worse is that several of the new cardinals Pope Francis just appointed are totally supportive of homosexual civil unions, which, again, are contrary to Church teaching.
More from Archbishop Aguer:
In conclusion: It is very painful to contemplate the spiritual damage that would be experienced by those faithful who suffer from their disordered inclination if the Church were to endorse the recognition of civil unions, approved by the State as a right to have a family; this would place an obstacle to the possibility of healing described in the Catechism.
Chaste same-sex attracted Catholics, feeling betrayed by Pope Francis, are speaking out and urging him to repent.
Indeed, those who heroically reject homosexuality and chose day in and day out to live chaste lives are now offering poignant commentary on the harm inflicted by Pope Francis’s remarks. One wishes the Holy Father would only listen to them.
One last comment from Archbishop Aguer:
Because the mercy of truth is owed to these people, a scandal, to which is added the promotion of clergy who have a consistently bad reputation (‘if you know what I mean’) which is known with certainty by many people, they do not seem to be calumnies.
Just this week Pope Francis appointed 13 new cardinals, some of whom are pro-LGBT and support communion for adulterers. Bishop Aguer is right. It is a scandal of the highest rank! May God have mercy on us all.
Below is Archbishop Aguer’s article, which has been translated into English by LifeSite’s Matthew Hoffman. The original can be read by clicking here.
“The family: wife, husband, children. Regarding a papal declaration”
When he was the archbishop of Buenos Aires, the then-Cardinal Bergoglio, in a Plenary Assembly of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, proposed giving approval to civil unions for homosexual persons provided by the State, as a possible alternative to what was called – and is called – “marriage equality.” The plenary session of the Argentinean bishops rejected that proposal with a vote against it.
Héctor Aguer, Emeritus Archbishop of La Plata
October 28, 2020
The recent declaration of the Supreme Pontiff, in which he supported civil unions for people of the same sex (in other words, proposing the creation of a legal framework for them), has caused a stir, both within the Church and outside of it. He did it in a biographical documentary, “Francesco,” made by Evgeny Afineevsky, a Russian filmmaker of Jewish origin, which debuted in the Rome Film Festival, and given the “Movie for Humanity” award. It was then stated that there is no reason at all to be surprised, because the Holy Father had already expressed that opinion in an interview given last year to the Mexican television network Televisa. I understand that this provoked a debate, and questions arose that have not been clarified sufficiently. In reality, when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires, the then Cardinal Bergoglio, in a Plenary Assembly of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, proposed the approval of civil unions for homosexual persons provided by the State, as a possible alternative to what was called – and is called – “marriage equality.” At that time it was argued against him that this was not a merely political or sociological issue, but that it involved a moral judgment, and therefore one cannot promote the approval of civil laws that are contrary to the natural order. It was recalled as well that this doctrine was declared repeatedly in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. The plenary session of the Argentinean bishops rejected that proposal by voting against it.
In 2003 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declared that the respect owed to homosexual persons, which the Church upholds, “cannot lead in any way to the approval of that conduct or to the legal recognition of their unions.” It isn’t an act of suspicion to think that such unions, for which legal recognition has been proposed, are not “platonic”; therefore, it would be to implicitly approve giving the protection of the law to sodomy. The teaching in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (n. 2357-2359) is something very different. It presents a careful exposition on the topic in the context of its study of the Sixth Commandment, and on the virtue of chastity. Far from condemning people who are attracted to the same sex, it states that they must be “accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity,” but that the exercise of that objectively disordered tendency is contrary to the natural law, is closed to procreation – the primary end of sexual relations – and lacks the necessary affective and sexual complementarity.
The Catechism does not encourage such behavior.To the contrary, it proposes to Christians who experience that unnatural inclination a way of spiritual progress aimed at arriving at chastity, through the practice of “the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom,” prayer, and sacramental grace; moreover, it is affirmed that they can and must “gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.” Among the aids that they can offer to these people is “the support of disinterested friendship” (amicitiae gratuitae auxilio, 2359). These principles could inspire initiatives to effectively accompany and give aid to those brothers who find themselves in that sort of difficulty. Unfortunately, the so-called “sexual revolution” has perversely influenced the mentality of new generations; many pastors of the Church disregard the value and importance of Christian anthropology,and do not make an effort to bring about its dissemination. Thus the forgetting about and denial of the metaphysical concept of nature becomes ever more culturally prevalent, and brings about confusion and a pernicious tolerance of the fact and the practice of homosexuality. Individualism and subjectivism induce people to think that each person may choose according to his preference the “gender” in which he wishes to live. People in the Church are not aware that this mentality destroys the faith.This is the “evangelization of culture”? In my opinion, the ecclesiastical approval of “civil unions” will favor the dechristianization and dehumanization of society.
With all the respect and affection that I profess for the Vicar of Christ, I would venture to think that the statements made on the topic in the film “Francesco” are not part of the magisterium. I would compare them to then conversations that the popes have with reporters in the aisles of airplanes during their trips; they may be interesting, but they lack the specificity that is proper to a magisterial act; although they are issued by a relevant person, they don’t pass beyond the status of a private opinion. Furthermore, given that in this case there exists a certain Catholic doctrine on the subject, if the Holy Father had the intention of introducing a change, it is reasonable to hold that it would make a clear and authoritative statement to that effect, using good arguments. Papolatry is not healthy behavior for Catholics. I have read that some victims of sexual abuse by priests have celebrated the above-mentioned pontifical declarations as if they are a desirable modification of Church teaching. This has already resulted in a backlash, which raises concerns about an increase in divisions among the faithful, a deepening of the ecclesiastical “fissure,” which exists without a doubt. I hope that theologians, cardinals, and bishops with greater wisdom and authority than I have will shed light on these dark moments.
In my brief reference to true Catholic doctrine I wanted to allude to a very long standing tradition to which the most recent are applicable: numerous interventions of the great Pius XII, above all his beautiful discourses to those who were recently married, and to the no less abundant interventions of Saint John Paul II, his catechesis of the years 1979 and 1980 regarding love, the body, and sexuality, and his encyclicals Mulieris dignitatem and Familiaris Consortio, and the statements of such philosophical, cultural, and theological rigor of Benedict XVI regarding gender ideology. But even before, beginning with the encyclical Arcanum divinae sapientiaeof Leo XIII (1880) and Casti connubii of Pius XI (1930), the pontifical authority reacted successively against what was merely civil marriage, divorce, and the practice of living together outside of matrimony. Homogeneity, which is the most fundamental aspect of the development of Catholic doctrine, now suggests aclear pronouncement against the liceity of homosexual civil unions, which will never be the foundation of an authentic family.
At the foundation of this tradition in its rough outline we find the very Word of the Lord, which refers to the revelation of the Old Testament. Jesus responded to the sophistry of the Pharisees: “Have you not read that the Creator, from the beginning, made them man and woman (ársen kai thēly), and that he said: For this reason a man (ánthrōpos) will leave his father and mother to unite himself to a woman (gynaikí), and the two will be but one single flesh (sárka mían)?” (Mt. 19:4, cf. Mk. 10:6). Certainly, neither in the perspective of the texts of Genesis (1:27, and 2:24) nor in the Gospels, is there found the possibility of a union of people of the same sex. The divine Word, in its objectivity, has a formidable value for today. Something that is neither conceivable in the order of natural reason, nor in the order of Revelation, has been made into a concession of modern culture: the mysterious deformity that affects Adam exiled from paradise.
I write “mysterious” because the Catechism notes with respect to homosexuality that “its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained” (2357).
The reason that has been given in support of the novel formulation regarding civil unions, is that homosexual persons have the right to a family; in effect this states – if I do not misunderstand – that a family is constituted through a civil union of two persons of the same sex. They could, therefore, if they so wish, become the “guardians” of a child, whether through adoption or by means of producing one through [sperm or egg] donation or by purchasing the necessary gametes and, when necessary, the renting of a womb, analogically to what is permitted to an “equal” form of marriage. Can this construction be called a family? In common language, the list of meanings that are given by the dictionary of the Royal Academy of Spain begin with this broad definition: “a group of people related to one another who live together.” For Catholic doctrine, in contrast, the family is constituted through a marriage, and it is made up of the husband (man), the wife (woman), and their children. If it is affirmed that homosexuals have the right to constitute a family, it will be necessary to recognize that, in effect, a change has been made in the Catholic doctrine on the subject. I will express it symbolically: on the dismasted ship that is the Church of our day, the topsails are no longer moved by the blowing of the Holy Spirit, but rather are pushed by the wind of the secular culture. I resist accepting this.
But it turns out that the Second Vatican Council, to which abusive appeals have been made so many times, aligns with that tradition and it continues it: the family proceeds from the matrimonial relationship (connubio); in it new citizens of human society are born (Lumen gentium,11). The family is “the first and vital cell of society”; its rights must be preserved in civil legislation (Apostolicam actuositatem, 11). In the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et speswe read: “Public authority should regard it as a sacred duty to recognize, protect and promote the authentic nature of marriage and the family, to shield public morality and to favor the prosperity of home life” (n. 52). In the conciliar perspective the approval of a civil union of people of the same sex is unthinkable, and it is much less conceivable that it could be considered a “family”; in the same paragraph of that document it is made clear that the family is constituted of the spouses – father and mother – and their children. Perhaps someone might consider that Vatican II, after more than half a century, is out-of-step with the current reality. Well, let them say so openly!
The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, published in 2004, addressing an agnostic and relativist conception of democracy, recalls that, according to the teaching of the Church, a “family” is that which is founded on the monogamous marriage between people of different sexes (n.569). In the same text, which contains an ample spectrum of topics regarding the family, a passage of Pope Wojtyla’s encyclical Centessimus annusis taken up, which includes among human rights “to live in a united family and in a moral environment conducive to the growth of the child's personality” (47). I do not believe that one can correct these statements to include a presumed human right to have a family for homosexuals united in a civil union. According to the Compendium, “Making ‘de facto unions’ legally equivalent to the family would discredit the model of the family”; a fortiori…The basis is in a completely private notion of these social relations (227). Subjectivism and relativism justify any combination, harming the Church and secular society as well. “Human ecology” would appear to be disrupted if the structure of what has always been considered “family” is altered; the intimate communion of life and love founded on marriage between a man and a woman is not the same as the legal fiction of a civil union between people of the same sex (cf. n. 211 s.). Does it now turn out that the concern, even an overwhelming one, for safeguarding the physical oikosis compatible with the unscrupulous destruction of the moral, cultural, and social oikos?
The academic study of the reality of the family has been amply developed, and it recognizes the influence of disunifying factors that operate powerfully in modern culture. The characteristics of an ideal family are always clear; one of those scholars notes: “Monogamy, united by the indissoluble sacrament of marriage, under paternal leadership and maternal collaboration; the recognition of the dignity and rights of parents and children – given in a gradual way to the latter –; offspring of both sexes; reasonable freedom for the children to choose their state and profession; the presence of the grandparents and other relatives; sufficient income and the existence of a family patrimony…” The ideal description that I have chosen has been elaborated upon for more than thirty years; simultaneously, moral treatises that circulated in Catholic universities offered a sociological and historicist conception of the family, at the conjuring of a Freudian concept of sexuality. These contrasts accompanied the accelerated process of family disintegration derived from the development and progress of various forms of feminism, that have brought about the cultural imposition of gender ideology, in whose propositions bring about the dissolution of the very foundation: the necessity of two sexes, man and woman, to constitute a family. In the opinion of the Church, the description that I have offered in the first citation was losing consistency, despite the excellent magisterium of those years. We finally arrived at the culmination of the decadence of Catholic culture, progressively perforated for decades. Modern revolutions and the totalitarian systems of the 20thcentury, Nazism and communism, have subjected the family to the power of the State; however it has been the developed democracies, in the period following the Second World War, that have made the most profound advance in the alteration of the nature of the order of the family. A little-known fact: the dissolution of matrimonial ties and of the community of the family sanctioned by the revolutionary Soviet doctrine, had to be corrected in 1936 by legislation destined to halt abuses that are corrosive for society. In reality, until very recently an argument in favor of unions of people of the same sex was unthinkable in Catholic circles,and even more unthinkable was the idea that they could be considered to be a family.
According to Revelation and the Christian tradition that follows from it, the family is a natural institution,the closest to human nature, because it proceeds from the instinctive love that unites a man and a woman, and it is projected in the culture, constituting the foundation of society. It is now necessary to repeat these fundamental truths: the notions of nature, natural order, and natural law; over these are built the properly Christian conception that provides the faith, the charity, and the sacramental grace of marriage, which correct possible defects, elevate the primary reality, and constitute the elemental cell of ecclesial society.
Doctrine and acts. In the Pauline epistles we find the affirmation of the ethical and religious unity of the relationship of man and woman, which is not added exteriorly to the natural dimension, but assumes it and transforms it from within. The Church has intervened always to defend the authentic reality of the institution of the family in the face of historical alterations, persuaded of the pedagogical and pastoral importance of the corrections that it proclaimed as necessary to conform to the design of God. What is in play is this alternative: a life lived in grace or in sin, and therefore, eternal salvation.
In conclusion: It is very painful to contemplate the spiritual damage that would be experienced by those faithful who suffer from their disordered inclination if the Church were to endorse the recognition of civil unions, approved by the State as a right to have a family; this would place an obstacle to the possibility of healing described in the Catechism. Because the mercy of truth is owed to these people. A scandal, to which is added the promotion of clergy who have a consistently bad reputation (if you know what I mean) which is known with certainty by many people; they do not seem to be calumnies.
What can the Catholic faithful do today? Above all, pray, invoking the intercession of the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, and of Saint Joseph, its Patron. But, furthermore, to tirelessly disseminate, with exactitude and serenity, the teaching, which is unchanging, maintained by the great ecclesial tradition, to dissipate confusion with its light; because it’s about saying “yes” to what is, and “no” to what is not, and in this way to thwart the plans of the Father of Lies (cf. Jn 8:44), and to not lose hope, which lights up suns in our night.

FORT LAUDERDALE , Florida , October 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — The Florida Department of Health ( DOH ) will investigate the number of deaths associated with COVID-19 and reported in the state after finding that some deaths occurred more than three months after the positive coronavirus test .
Just over 16,500 deaths associated with COVID-19 have been reported in Florida , so far .
The DOH on October 21 issued a press release conceding that the reports were murky , “ Fatality data reported to the state consistently presents confusion and warrants a more rigorous review.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the department ’ s main complaint was that , “ 16 of the deaths occurred more than two months after the person tested positive , and 11 people died more than a month ago .
And in five cases , there was a three-month gap between the time of infection and death.
” Two women in their 80s in Palm Beach County , for instance , both died more than three months after testing positive .
In another case , a 58-year-old woman in Miami-Dade County tested positive in June but died in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four months .
Fred Piccolo Jr. , a spokesperson for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis , told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel the findings “ presented a new kind of red flag.
” According to Piccolo , such a large gap between someone testing positive for COVID-19 and their death hasn ’ t been seen before .
“ He said when they looked into the data they were finding people who tested positive way back in the beginning of the pandemic but were listed as having died of COVID in October , ” the newspaper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the heels of comments made by Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives José Oliva , a Republican .
A week prior to the investigation being launched , Oliva cast doubts on the accuracy of the state ’ s COVID-19 death toll .
Oliva believes the numbers are based on compromised data and “ a methodology that inflated death rates.
” He made his comments after being confronted with findings of an in-house analysis he ordered .
“ Sixty percent of the death certificates had reporting errors and , the analysis said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ standards for completion of death certificates in general and guidelines for COVID-19 related deaths in particular , ’ ” reported the Tampa Bay Times .
The investigation does not plan on individually reviewing each of the more than 16,000 deaths .
Rather , moving forward , deaths will be reviewed more thoroughly .
At the same time , Florida “ won ’ t immediately discount people who tested positive for coronavirus and died weeks afterwards , recognizing the virus may have caused damage that contributed to the death , Piccolo said , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But he said that the state wants to filter out people who tested positive and died from an unrelated cause .
