Hurricane Laura, which is bound to hit the southeast US late on Wednesday, has been forecast to be a “life-threatening” Category 4 hurricane, unfortunately exceeding American meteorologists’ expectations.
.
The storm began“rapidly strengthening” early Wednesday according to the US National Hurricane Center (NHC). It is expected to produce “catastrophic damage” in affected areas in Texas and Louisiana later in the day. The hurricane has been predicted to create a “storm surge, extreme winds, and flash flooding.” It could advance up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) inland. More than half a million people were already ordered to evacuate from the coastline cities as the life-threatening storm approaches. “If you decide to stay, you’re staying on your own,” said Mayor Thurman Bartie of the Texas city of Port Arthur, one of the cities that ordered an evacuation. Laura was previously estimated to be a Category 3 hurricane, but it has undergone a remarkable intensification. “There are no signs it will stop soon,” the NHC said in a briefing.

COVID Vérité: Leading French Expert Destroys Gov’t Case for Masks and Lockdown

For months, government officials in countries like the United States and Britain have been claiming that the world is in the midst of an unprecedented ‘pandemic’. But how much of this crisis is truly down to a pathogen and how much is really down to governments’ reactionary lockdown policies? Are decisions really being made based on sound science, or are they being made based on hype and hysteria?
Leading French public health expert, Professor of Medicine Jean-François Toussaint, appeared on mainstream French television recently where he exposed the wanton hysteria which has gripped western countries over the supposed ‘pandemic’ of COVID-19. According to the data presented by Toussaint, the epidemic is long since over. In recent months, government officials and mainstream media have abandoned talking about deaths and hospitalizations (which have dropped to near zero, no longer a ‘crisis’) and instead have pivoted to aggressively promoting the idea of “spikes” and “cases” as being a measure of crisis now. His conclusions are backed up by the latest data from France and around Europe – and shows there was never any “Second Wave” and in all likely reality, there will not be one. The virus has clearly extinguished itself.

Postal Service has racked up billions of dollars in excessive overtime from its workers over the last several years , even as its employee numbers have gone up and its mail delivery has declined , according to a new audit likely to raise questions about congressional Democrats ’ demands for a bailout .

The audit revealed just how costly this OT tab has become : The annual bill for overtime charged by postal employees grew 35 % from $ 3.7 billion in 2014 to $ 5 billion last year .

Audit exposes Postal Service’s overtime racket as Democrats seek bailout
Extra pay grew by billions, even as mail delivery slowed. More than 4,000 workers earned more in OT than base pay.
By John Solomon
The U.S. Postal Service has racked up billions of dollars in excessive overtime from its workers over the last several years, even as its employee numbers have gone up and its mail delivery has declined, according to a new audit likely to raise questions about congressional Democrats’ demands for a bailout.
Overtime pay has become so predominant at America’s premier mail delivery service that more than 4,000 postal workers last year actually earned more in OT pay than their base pay, a 429% increase in highly compensated overtime earners since 2014, the agency’s internal watchdog reported this week.
The situation exists in part because postal employees are allowed to determine their own overtime hours without needing prior management approval, and management does not always keep accurate payroll records, the audit report concluded.
“The Postal Service needs to strengthen controls over managing overtime to successfully contain these costs,” the Postal Service inspector general warned Wednesday. Between 2014 and 2019, “overtime costs and hours have trended upward and consistently exceeded their planned overtime budgets. Although package volume grew, these costs increased despite declining mail volume and increased employee levels.”
The audit paints a picture of a postal service that is highly dysfunctional: Managers don’t keep good records, staffing levels aren’t maintained at authorized levels, and workers decide for themselves when they can charge overtime,
“Employees must be paid for all overtime work they perform, even if that time was not authorized. Unauthorized overtime occurs when an employee’s clock time exceeds eight hours in a day or 40 hours in a week without prior authorization from a manager,” the report noted.
The audit revealed just how costly this OT tab has become: The annual bill for overtime charged by postal employees grew 35% from $3.7 billion in 2014 to $5 billion last year. Over the course of those five years, workers charged for an average of more than 100 million OT hours per year, the report said. Overtime, according to the IG, now accounts for between 13% and 16% of USPS’ total costs.
Determining whether such overtime was warranted is made harder because “management did not have complete, accurate, and reliable payroll workhours data for FY 2019,” the report noted. But based on the inspector general’s analysis, as much as a half billion dollars a year in overtime was avoidable.
“We estimated the Postal Service incurred about $521.6 million in questioned costs” in 2019 alone, according to the report.
Investigators flagged the massive growth in postal workers who earned 2x and 3x through overtime pay, citing some specific examples ranging from postmen to mechanics whose inflated paychecks raised questions about whether employees could really have worked as many hours as they charged.
“A mail handler in the Northeast Area earned $141,153 in total overtime pay by working 3,329 regular overtime hours, which resulted in $205,018 in total pay” the report noted. “This was equivalent to more than three times the amount of this employee’s base salary. For perspective, this amount of overtime would have required this employee to work an average of 17-hour days, consisting of eight regular workhours and about nine overtime hours every day for 365 days a year,.
Despite such remarkable findings, the Postal Service said it is not sure whether it should try to work to reduce massively rising overtime.
“Increasing complement with the intent of reducing overtime may not be the best long term solution,” the service said in response to the IG report. “The appropriate use of overtime continues to give management the greatest latitude to utilize its resources at the least possible cost while controlling future salaries and benefits of new employees.”
In other words, the Postal Service is signaling the OT racket will continue.
All this comes as Congress fights over a Democratic effort to have taxpayers provide as much as $25 billion in bailout money to the postal service. Such legislation passed the Democrat-led House this week, but it is unlikely to proceed in the GOP Senate.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims the money is needed to ensure mail-in ballots can be delivered on time in the fall. “It is all designed to suppress the vote,” Pelosi said about recent efforts by Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to cut costs.
DeJoy and his GOP defenders claim the Democratic bailout arguments are nothing more than “myth.” “Like the Russia hoax and impeachment sham, the Democrats have manufactured another scandal for political purposes,” Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said last week. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he fears the Democratic bailout money is really to help augment union worker pension funds. “They don’t know what they would do with the $25 billion that was in the bill that was passed Saturday … but I suspect they would bail out the pensions,” he said.

The Democrats Face the Inferno They Created
By: William L. Gensert
The other day a puling Don Lemon, the infamous CNN anchor, not a purveyor of citrus flavored tequila, ripped the mask off the Democrat/leftist body politic when he opined that presidential candidate Joe Biden needed to speak out against the rioting currently destroying Democrat-run cities because the unrestrained violence was beginning to hurt him at the polls.
In uttering nary a word about the impact the widespread suffering and destruction was having on Americans, he starkly displayed the callous disregard Democrats have for this nation and its citizens.
When he said of the violence, “I know it’s showing up in the polling.” Lemon was admitting the unofficial Democratic Party policy of “let them riot and blame Trump for the human suffering and economic devastation,” was no longer operable.
For Democrats, it was never about George Floyd or Jacob Blake. To Dems, while Floyd and Blake’s deaths were a tragedy, the true tragedy would be the reelection of Donald Trump.
Someone once said that if you give people long enough and listen carefully, they will always tell you who they are. Lemon is telling us exactly who the Democrats are.
It was a staggeringly profound confession, whether he intended it as so or not. Perhaps next he will advise Biden to advocate reopening the economy and the schools because trying to destroy the country in order to use impoverished and despondent Americans against Trump for political purposes was also costing him votes.
Now, with the successful RNC Convention, and its parade of regular people of all stripes effectively explaining to the public the debacle Democrats are trying to force-feed Americans as the “new,” “new normal,” floundering Democrats are panicking.
Yet, with people starting to fight back, it may be too late for them.
With Antifa, the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, BLM, its ideological arm, and the media, its propaganda arm, the Democrats have confected a riotous monster they are no longer able to control. When you allow people to run rampant in the streets with no repercussions, the anarchy, looting, and arson that result awakens within the faux revolutionaries their “woke muscles,” allowing them to feel “big,” and, most importantly, in charge.
Breaking stuff and burning stuff is fun. Looting is not only fun, but profitable. Being able to order people around is empowering. For the aspiring sociopaths roaming free in our streets, hurting people with impunity is a dream come true. Why would they ever want to stop now? Democrats will now seek to add tepid disapproval of rioting and rioters to their active and avowed support of protestors just as Americans have come to the conclusion that they are one and the same, and are beginning to take to the streets to fight back. At some point, Americans will have had enough and are going to confront the attackers themselves. We are seeing it in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as well as in selected areas all over the country. Say what you will about Kyle Rittenhouse, now charged with murder after killing two Antifa/BLM members and wounding another in Kenosha, under circumstances which seem to indicate self-defense, but he is the logical creation of the Democrat policy of forcing people to fear for their lives, families, property, and livelihoods. The rioters, the Democrats, and the media have been playing with fire and are now being consumed by the inferno they created. More and more, regular Americans are taking to the streets to either confront rioters or delineate a border beyond which they are not allowed to pass, and they are doing so armed. People actively protecting their neighborhoods, neighbors, and businesses by banding together to confront rioters is something that should have been expected and now, more than likely, is too late to stop. Expect to see much more of it. The “law and order” Trump, always an outspoken supporter of police, has long called for an end to the violence while continuously offering federal assistance. He has been serially rebuked by Democrats who have tried to score political points with the anarchy by using the suffering populace against him in their election campaign to install the “King of Aphasia,” Joe Biden as president. C’mon man, did they really believe that would work? Now, as it hurts Democrats in the polls, they will find that not only will changing course further erode their relationship of convenience with their leftist brethren, it will also not make a difference with outraged rioters except to further provoke rebellious conflagration. The Democrats fomented civil war and that is exactly what they are getting. •••• The article The Democrats Face the Inferno They Created was created and published by American Thinker and is republished here under “Fair Use” (see disclaimer below) with attribution to the articles author William L.

Washington DC has been turbulent this Friday, with massive protest actions taking place in several locations across the city, before and after Donald Trump’s final Republican National Convention acceptance speech.
Barriers were erected around the White House to keep protesters away, but noise and drumbeats could be heard from behind the fencing. Protesters yelled: “No justice, no peace!” and “Join us!” while holding anti-Trump and Black Lives Matter banners.
In a bizarre twist, demonstrators also posed with an imitation guillotine and a Trump effigy, with one protester heard saying “off with his head!” A while later, police moved in to push demonstrators away from some locations around the White House, sparking scuffles and altercations.

KEN’S CORNER: Breaking the Power of the One Percent
Preface by TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive
Goes to show … Every generation must fight for Liberty, because once lost, the powers will be very reluctant to give it back. Here in America President Trump spent his four years in office virtually fighting for his life. He did not quit… he knows that it took 120 years for the deep state to entrench itself, and that it virtually has the power to destroy not only The United States, but plunge the world into war (look around you today). They even have the ability to manufacture a vast devastation (say…a global pandemic), without firing a shot, and actually profit from it. Yea, I’m afraid, aren’t you? If you are not, ether you have your head buried in the sand, or you are the bravest of all, with a faith that isn’t bound by rewritten historical record, propaganda, or math.
I want truth above all, my Constitution and Civil Liberty are the only tools, or weapons I have to fight back. I’m responsible for my life and the future I hand to my family. I don’t want them to be slaves, with every decision they make preordained by an all seeing and manipulative eye. Liberty. Liberty from tyranny. Give me liberty or give me death.
And I know that if they don’t fight for it too, they will be covered with that black velvet blanket of voluntary servitude, slavery of the spirit, and their future will not belong to them, just like me. I’m trying, and have been for a long time. I see the push back, but I shiver in fear when I turn around and see that my footprints are being systematically covered up by an AI logarithm that has formulated my next hundred moves, in the twinkle of its eye.
So for a lesson, let’s focus on a slightly different paradigm here … a different place and time …
Excerpt from attached article: Although Norwegians may not tell you about this the first time you meet them, the fact remains that their society’s high level of freedom and broadly-shared prosperity began when workers and farmers, along with middle class allies, waged a nonviolent struggle that empowered the people to govern for the common good.
Please continue reading, the attached article was originally written over a decade ago, but the lessons we can glean from it … are timeless.

How Swedes and Norwegians Broke the Power of the ‘1 Percent’
While many of us are working to ensure that the Occupy movement will have a lasting impact, it’s worthwhile to consider other countries where masses of people succeeded in nonviolently bringing about a high degree of democracy and economic justice. Sweden and Norway, for example, both experienced a major power shift in the 1930s after prolonged nonviolent struggle. They “fired” the top 1 percent of people who set the direction for society and created the basis for something different.
Both countries had a history of horrendous poverty. When the 1 percent was in charge, hundreds of thousands of people emigrated to avoid starvation. Under the leadership of the working class, however, both countries built robust and successful economies that nearly eliminated poverty, expanded free university education, abolished slums, provided excellent health care available to all as a matter of right and created a system of full employment. Unlike the Norwegians, the Swedes didn’t find oil, but that didn’t stop them from building what the latest CIA World Factbook calls “an enviable standard of living.”
Neither country is a utopia, as readers of the crime novels by Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbro will know. Critical left-wing authors such as these try to push Sweden and Norway to continue on the path toward more fully just societies. However, as an American activist who first encountered Norway as a student in 1959 and learned some of its language and culture, the achievements I found amazed me. I remember, for example, bicycling for hours through a small industrial city, looking in vain for substandard housing. Sometimes resisting the evidence of my eyes, I made up stories that “accounted for” the differences I saw: “small country,” “homogeneous,” “a value consensus.” I finally gave up imposing my frameworks on these countries and learned the real reason: their own histories.
Then I began to learn that the Swedes and Norwegians paid a price for their standards of living through nonviolent struggle. There was a time when Scandinavian workers didn’t expect that the electoral arena could deliver the change they believed in. They realized that, with the 1 percent in charge, electoral “democracy” was stacked against them, so nonviolent direct action was needed to exert the power for change.
In both countries, the troops were called out to defend the 1 percent; people died. Award-winning Swedish filmmaker Bo Widerberg told the Swedish story vividly in Ådalen 31, which depicts the strikers killed in 1931 and the sparking of a nationwide general strike. (You can read more about this case in an entry by Max Rennebohm in the Global Nonviolent Action Database.)
The Norwegians had a harder time organizing a cohesive people’s movement because Norway’s small population—about three million—was spread out over a territory the size of Britain. People were divided by mountains and fjords, and they spoke regional dialects in isolated valleys. In the nineteenth century, Norway was ruled by Denmark and then by Sweden; in the context of Europe Norwegians were the “country rubes,” of little consequence. Not until 1905 did Norway finally become independent.
When workers formed unions in the early 1900s, they generally turned to Marxism, organizing for revolution as well as immediate gains. They were overjoyed by the overthrow of the czar in Russia, and the Norwegian Labor Party joined the Communist International organized by Lenin. Labor didn’t stay long, however. One way in which most Norwegians parted ways with Leninist strategy was on the role of violence: Norwegians wanted to win their revolution through collective nonviolent struggle, along with establishing co-ops and using the electoral arena.
In the 1920s strikes increased in intensity. The town of Hammerfest formed a commune in 1921, led by workers councils; the army intervened to crush it. The workers’ response verged toward a national general strike. The employers, backed by the state, beat back that strike, but workers erupted again in the ironworkers’ strike of 1923–24.
The Norwegian 1 percent decided not to rely simply on the army; in 1926 they formed a social movement called the Patriotic League, recruiting mainly from the middle class. By the 1930s, the League included as many as 100,000 people for armed protection of strike breakers—this in a country of only 3 million!
The Labor Party, in the meantime, opened its membership to anyone, whether or not in a unionized workplace. Middle-class Marxists and some reformers joined the party. Many rural farm workers joined the Labor Party, as well as some small landholders. Labor leadership understood that in a protracted struggle, constant outreach and organizing was needed to a nonviolent campaign. In the midst of the growing polarization, Norway’s workers launched another wave of strikes and boycotts in 1928.
The Depression hit bottom in 1931. More people were jobless there than in any other Nordic country. Unlike in the U.S., the Norwegian union movement kept the people thrown out of work as members, even though they couldn’t pay dues. This decision paid off in mass mobilizations. When the employers’ federation locked employees out of the factories to try to force a reduction of wages, the workers fought back with massive demonstrations.
Many people then found that their mortgages were in jeopardy. (Sound familiar?) The Depression continued, and farmers were unable to keep up payment on their debts. As turbulence hit the rural sector, crowds gathered nonviolently to prevent the eviction of families from their farms. The Agrarian Party, which included larger farmers and had previously been allied with the Conservative Party, began to distance itself from the 1 percent; some could see that the ability of the few to rule the many was in doubt.
By 1935, Norway was on the brink. The Conservative-led government was losing legitimacy daily; the 1 percent became increasingly desperate as militancy grew among workers and farmers. A complete overthrow might be just a couple years away, radical workers thought. However, the misery of the poor became more urgent daily, and the Labor Party felt increasing pressure from its members to alleviate their suffering, which it could do only if it took charge of the government in a compromise agreement with the other side.
This it did. In a compromise that allowed owners to retain the right to own and manage their firms, Labor in 1935 took the reins of government in coalition with the Agrarian Party. They expanded the economy and started public works projects to head toward a policy of full employment that became the keystone of Norwegian economic policy. Labor’s success and the continued militancy of workers enabled steady inroads against the privileges of the 1 percent, to the point that majority ownership of all large firms was taken by the public interest. (There is an entry on this case as well at the Global Nonviolent Action Database.)
The 1 percent thereby lost its historic power to dominate the economy and society. Not until three decades later could the Conservatives return to a governing coalition, having by then accepted the new rules of the game, including a high degree of public ownership of the means of production, extremely progressive taxation, strong business regulation for the public good and the virtual abolition of poverty.

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-28--The Playbook Revealed! CHD’s ‘The Jab’ Delivers Inside Scoop on COVID Pandemic

Written & Contributed to TLB by : The Children ’ s Health Defense Team Join Children ’ s Health Defense ( CHD ) on a snappy journey through the recent history and current replay of the pandemic-scam-page from Big Pharma ’ s playbook .
It ’ s deja-vu with the W.H.O .
declaring “ pandemics ” that result in gold rushes for pharmaceutical companies .
But serious adverse events such as the very real narcolepsy epidemic that we saw in the swine flu “ pandemic ” of 2009—which many researchers tie to GSK ’ s Pandemrix vaccine—counter any perceived benefits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s The Jab video documents the facts behind the unfolding pandemic drama and begs the question : Are we are being played—again ?
The winter of 2009 may feel like it was just yesterday , but the Trump administration ’ s Operation Warp Speed is betting more than two billion dollars that Americans have already forgotten about GlaxoSmithKline ’ s elaborate scam that caused narcolepsy and cataplexy epidemics across Europe 11 years ago .
As the trustworthy stewards of global public health ( wink , wink ) , in the years leading up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worked to ensure that dozens of European and African nations executed agreements to protect their citizens in the event of an unforeseen global pandemic .
These “ sleeping contracts ” stipulated that the pharmaceutical companies would be called upon to produce flu vaccines—and be paid billions of dollars for doing so .
But there was no reason to fear any financial impropriety because the contracts could only be activated in the event that the W.H.O .
declared a phase 6 influenza pandemic .
Unfortunately , the government officials who signed the contracts never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the W.H.O .
in return for control over decisions that result in GSK windfalls .
For six years leading up to 2009 , the W.H.O .
displayed their definition of “ influenza pandemic ” on the top of their Pandemic Preparedness home page .
It read , “ An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity , resulting in several , simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.
” On June 11 , 2009 , the W.H.O .
declared H1N1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic , phase 6 .
Curiously , at that point in time , there were only 144 swine flu deaths in the entire world .
Nevertheless , the W.H.O.
’ s declaration triggered $ 18 billion in sleeping contracts to activate across the world , and production of hundreds of millions of H1N1 vaccine doses kicked into high gear—including GlaxoSmithKline ’ s Pandemrix .
Suspiciously , just 39 days before declaring the pandemic , the W.H.O .
deleted the pandemic definition from their website .
When confronted , they told the media that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ picture and could be very scary.
” In the new definition , the W.H.O .
no longer required that anyone die before they declare a pandemic .
GSK ’ s Pandemrix jab was an experimental vaccine that was never tested for safety or efficacy .
It was given straight to hundreds of millions of Africans and Europeans .
This wasn ’ t the time for red tape and formalities .
By any definition– rather , by the new definition , we were in a global pandemic .
The W.H.O .

The Playbook Revealed! CHD’s ‘The Jab’ Delivers Inside Scoop on COVID Pandemic
WATCH VIDEO BELOW INTRO ARTICLE
Written & Contributed to TLB by: The Children’s Health Defense Team
Join Children’s Health Defense (CHD) on a snappy journey through the recent history and current replay of the pandemic-scam-page from Big Pharma’s playbook. It’s deja-vu with the W.H.O. declaring “pandemics” that result in gold rushes for pharmaceutical companies. But serious adverse events such as the very real narcolepsy epidemic that we saw in the swine flu “pandemic” of 2009—which many researchers tie to GSK’s Pandemrix vaccine—counter any perceived benefits of these rushed vaccines. CHD’s The Jab video documents the facts behind the unfolding pandemic drama and begs the question: Are we are being played—again?
THE JAB: Featuring GlaxoSmithKline
The winter of 2009 may feel like it was just yesterday, but the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed is betting more than two billion dollars that Americans have already forgotten about GlaxoSmithKline’s elaborate scam that caused narcolepsy and cataplexy epidemics across Europe 11 years ago.
Act 1: The Trap
As the trustworthy stewards of global public health (wink, wink), in the years leading up to 2009, the World Health Organization worked to ensure that dozens of European and African nations executed agreements to protect their citizens in the event of an unforeseen global pandemic.
These “sleeping contracts” stipulated that the pharmaceutical companies would be called upon to produce flu vaccines—and be paid billions of dollars for doing so. But there was no reason to fear any financial impropriety because the contracts could only be activated in the event that the W.H.O. declared a phase 6 influenza pandemic.
Unfortunately, the government officials who signed the contracts never suspected that GSK makes multimillion-dollar donations to the W.H.O. in return for control over decisions that result in GSK windfalls.
Act 2: The Switch
For six years leading up to 2009, the W.H.O. displayed their definition of “influenza pandemic” on the top of their Pandemic Preparedness home page. It read, “An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in several, simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness.”
On June 11, 2009, the W.H.O. declared H1N1 swine flu to be a global influenza pandemic, phase 6. Curiously, at that point in time, there were only 144 swine flu deaths in the entire world. Nevertheless, the W.H.O.’s declaration triggered $18 billion in sleeping contracts to activate across the world, and production of hundreds of millions of H1N1 vaccine doses kicked into high gear—including GlaxoSmithKline’s Pandemrix.
Suspiciously, just 39 days before declaring the pandemic, the W.H.O. deleted the pandemic definition from their website. When confronted, they told the media that their definition “painted a rather bleak picture and could be very scary.” In the new definition, the W.H.O. no longer required that anyone die before they declare a pandemic. GSK’s Pandemrix jab was an experimental vaccine that was never tested for safety or efficacy. It was given straight to hundreds of millions of Africans and Europeans.
This wasn’t the time for red tape and formalities. By any definition– rather, by the new definition, we were in a global pandemic.
Act 3: The Plants
The W.H.O. did not declare the 2009 pandemic on its own. Before making the declaration, the W.H.O. Director General, Dr. Margaret Chan, sought guidance from an Emergency Committee drawn from a panel of 160 scientists on the W.H.O’s International Health Regulations Review Committee.The W.H.O. describes these advisors as “the world’s leading experts in their respective fields,” but their identities are still shrouded in secrecy, which the W.H.O. claimed was necessary to “protect them from outside influences.” But a shocking 2010 British Medical Journal investigation revealed that numerous Emergency Committee members who voted for the pandemic declaration had financial ties to flu vaccine and Tamiflu manufacturers, including GlaxoSmithKline.
Wolfgang Wodarg, a former delegate to the European Council, said, “The W.H.O. officials have no idea about such things. They have to depend on scientists. And the scientists are allocated to them by the countries and by the organizations that finance the W.H.O. And many of them gave advice and made decisions that benefited the pharmaceutical industry.”
Act 4: The Getaway
Narcolepsy is more than a minor inconvenience in an otherwise normal life. Narcoleptics suffer from the extreme tendency to fall asleep whenever in relaxed surroundings. Cataplexy is a condition in which strong emotion or laughter causes a person to suffer sudden physical collapse.
GSK’s adjuvanted Pandemrix vaccine caused both, devastating at least 1,300 children across Europe– for life. In the media, GSK’s AS03 adjuvant, added to stimulate a powerful immune response, shouldered the blame for amplifying these heinous reactions. Documents obtained by plaintiffs in a series of European lawsuits revealed that GSK knew about the mounting adverse events associated with Pandemrix in the winter of 2009–including a 5.4-fold increase in death. By December 2009, an injured person filed a report with GSK for every 12,500 doses of Pandemrix administered. Yet, they continued promoting their vaccine in order to move inventory.
As lawsuits began to pile up, the UK spent millions of pounds defending itself, ultimately settling for nine-figure sums after losing on appeal. After all, every country that signed a sleeping contract was required to grant GSK full legal indemnity for their fast-tracked pandemic vaccine, leaving taxpayers on the hook for defending and settling hundreds of lawsuits.
GSK never stood trial for destroying 1,300 young lives with narcolepsy and cataplexy and they never paid one dollar in fines for influencing the fake pandemic in what Wolfgang Wodard called, “One of the greatest medical scandals of the century.”
Act 5: The Encore
Relying on the same attenuated definition of “pandemic,” on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic when its partner, the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator, received 125 million-dollar commitments from the Gates Foundation and Mastercard just one day prior.
On July 31, 2020, GSK and Sanofi scored 2.1 billion US taxpayer dollars to partner on an experimental Covid-19 vaccine. Sanofi will provide the vaccine and GSK will provide– you guessed it– hundreds of millions of doses of their AS03 adjuvant from the 2009 narcolepsy epidemic.
Will they get away with it this time?
