Introduction
This interview give a handy insight into how and why the alarming death stats for COVID19 are false.
Steve
“One of the things we notice is that when you don’t hear anything that usually means there’s good news happening. So when Sweden looks worse you hear about it but when it’s not so bad, like now, you never see it in the media.”
Professor Carl Heneghan is Director of the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University, and has been paying close attention to the Covid-19 statistics. In a post yesterday evening he revealed an extraordinary detail: the Public Health England daily death totals announced to the media include anyone who has ever tested positive for Covid-19 — even if they recovered completely.
Earlier this week we completed a wide-ranging interview with Professor Heneghan and his CEBM colleague Tom Jefferson on the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic, which we’ll be publishing shortly.
But I caught up with Prof Heneghan this morning just to hear more about this latest development. Have a watch.
Key quotes:
There was “massive confusion” about different Covid data between England’s health bodies. “Public Health England figures are about double the ONS figures because PHE are reporting anybody who has had a positive Covid death in the past… This will get increasingly confusing as we go into the next Winter because there could be a new outbreak and new deaths while also still reporting on historical deaths… This is a problem for epidemiologists and media… ”
Even a “28 period cut-off is still not ideal for accurate death numbers because there is “immediate cause and underlying cause… Immediate cause means you’ve had Covid within 21 days but outside of that, it becomes the underlying cause — something that contributed to your death but wasn’t a direct cause. A 21 day cut-off would be helpful because it gives a clearer understanding of that distinction”
“We follow excess deaths which is the most accurate information about what’s going on at that moment, but it can’t tell you what those deaths are caused by” (i.e. people not coming forward with heart attacks etc)
“There’s an important distinction between lives lost and life years lost. One of the things we’ll be watching very closely over the next six months is how many people would have actually died in the next six months… That’s where the excess deaths really matter. If we start to see it trend significantly under for the next few months, we’ll start to come forward with information that suggests there was a group of vulnerable people that any respiratory infection would have shortened their life.”
“In the media you’ll always hear about catastrophe and the consequences of that. One of the things we notice is that when you don’t hear anything that usually means there’s good news happening. So when Sweden looks worse you hear about it but when it’s not so bad, like now, you never see it in the media.”

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-24--Deadly Cover Up: Fauci Approved Hydroxy 15 Years Ago to Cure Coronaviruses; ‘Nobody Needed to Die”

Dr. Anthony Fauci , whose “ expert ” advice to President Trump has resulted in the complete shutdown of the greatest economic engine in world history , has known since 2005 that chloroquine is an effective inhibitor of coronaviruses .
How did he know this ?
Because of research done by the National Institutes of Health , of which he is the director .
In connection with the SARS outbreak – caused by a coronavirus dubbed SARS-CoV – the NIH researched chloroquine and concluded that it was effective at stopping the SARS coronavirus in its tracks .
The COVID-19 bug @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While not exactly the same virus as SARS-CoV-1 , it is genetically related to it , and shares 79 % of its genome , as the name SARS-CoV-2 implies .
They both use the same host cell receptor , which is what viruses use to gain entry to the cell and infect the victim .
The Virology Journal – the official publication of Dr. Fauci ’ s National Institutes of Health – published what is now a blockbuster article on August 22 , 2005 , under the heading – get ready for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.
” ( Emphasis mine throughout . )
Write the researchers , “ We report…that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells .
These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus , suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage.
” This means , of course , that Dr. Fauci ( pictured at right ) has known for 15 years that chloroquine and it ’ s even milder derivative hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case of coronavirus ( “ therapeutic ” ) but prevent future cases ( “ prophylactic ” ) .
So HCQ functions as both a cure and a vaccine .
In other words , it ’ s a wonder drug for coronavirus .
Said Dr. Fauci ’ s NIH in 2005 , “ concentrations of 10 μM completely abolished SARS-CoV infection.
” Fauci ’ s researchers add , “ chloroquine can effectively reduce the establishment of infection and spread of SARS-CoV.
” Dr. Didier Raoult , the Anthony Fauci of France , had such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of SARS-CoV-2 that he said way back on February 25 that “ it ’ s game over ” for coronavirus .
He and a team of researchers reported that the use of HCQ administered with both azithromycin and zinc cured 79 of 80 patients with only “ rare and minor ” adverse events .
“ In conclusion , ” these researchers write , “ we confirm the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine associated with azithromycin in the treatment of COVID-19 and its potential effectiveness in the early impairment of contagiousness.
” The highly-publicized VA study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ showed nothing of the sort .
HCQ wasn ’ t administered until the patients were virtually on their deathbeds when research indicates it should be prescribed as soon as symptoms are apparent .
Plus , HCQ was administered without azithromycin and zinc , which form the cocktail that makes it supremely effective .
At-risk individuals need to receive the HCQ cocktail at the first sign of symptoms .
But Governor Andrew Cuomo banned the use of HCQ in the entire state of New York on March 6 , the Democrat governors of Nevada @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by March 28 the whole country was under incarceration-in-place fatwas .
Nothing happened with regard to the use of HCQ in the U.S. until March 20 , when President Trump put his foot down and insisted that the FDA consider authorizing HCQ for off-label use to treat SARS-CoV-2 .
On March 23 , Dr. Vladimir Zelenko reported that he had treated around 500 coronavirus patients with HCQ and had seen an astonishing 100 % success rate .
That ’ s not the “ anecdotal ” evidence Dr. Fauci sneers at , but actual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The questions are disturbing to a spectacular degree .
If Dr. Fauci has known since 2005 of the effectiveness of HCQ , why hasn ’ t it been administered immediately after people show symptoms , as Dr. Zelenko has done ?
Maybe then nobody would have died and nobody would have been incarcerated in place except the sick , which is who a quarantine is for in the first place .
To paraphrase Jesus , it ’ s not the symptom-free who need HCQ but the sick .
And they need it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While the regressive health care establishment wants the HCQ cocktail to only be administered late in the course of the infection , from a medical standpoint , this is stupid .
Said one doctor , “ As a physician , this baffles me .
I can ’ t think of a single infectious condition — bacterial , fungal , or viral — where the best medical treatment is to delay the use of an anti-bacterial , anti-fungal , or anti-viral until the infection is far advanced.
” So why has Dr. Fauci minimized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pushing this thing from jump street ?
He didn ’ t even launch clinical trials of HCQ until April 9 , by which time 33,000 people had died .

Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose “expert” advice to President Trump has resulted in the complete shutdown of the greatest economic engine in world history, has known since 2005 that chloroquine is an effective inhibitor of coronaviruses.
How did he know this?
Because of research done by the National Institutes of Health, of which he is the director. In connection with the SARS outbreak – caused by a coronavirus dubbed SARS-CoV – the NIH researched chloroquine and concluded that it was effective at stopping the SARS coronavirus in its tracks. The COVID-19 bug is likewise a coronavirus, labeled SARS-CoV-2. While not exactly the same virus as SARS-CoV-1, it is genetically related to it, and shares 79% of its genome, as the name SARS-CoV-2 implies. They both use the same host cell receptor, which is what viruses use to gain entry to the cell and infect the victim.
The Virology Journal – the official publication of Dr. Fauci’s National Institutes of Health – published what is now a blockbuster article on August 22, 2005, under the heading – get ready for this – “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.” (Emphasis mine throughout.) Write the researchers, “We report…that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage.”
This means, of course, that Dr. Fauci (pictured at right) has known for 15 years that chloroquine and it’s even milder derivative hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) will not only treat a current case of coronavirus (“therapeutic”) but prevent future cases (“prophylactic”). So HCQ functions as both a cure and a vaccine. In other words, it’s a wonder drug for coronavirus. Said Dr. Fauci’s NIH in 2005, “concentrations of 10 μM completely abolished SARS-CoV infection.” Fauci’s researchers add, “chloroquine can effectively reduce the establishment of infection and spread of SARS-CoV.”
Dr. Didier Raoult, the Anthony Fauci of France, had such spectacular success using HCQ to treat victims of SARS-CoV-2 that he said way back on February 25 that “it’s game over” for coronavirus.
He and a team of researchers reported that the use of HCQ administered with both azithromycin and zinc cured 79 of 80 patients with only “rare and minor” adverse events. “In conclusion,” these researchers write, “we confirm the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine associated with azithromycin in the treatment of COVID-19 and its potential effectiveness in the early impairment of contagiousness.”
The highly-publicized VA study that purported to show HCQ was ineffective showed nothing of the sort. HCQ wasn’t administered until the patients were virtually on their deathbeds when research indicates it should be prescribed as soon as symptoms are apparent. Plus, HCQ was administered without azithromycin and zinc, which form the cocktail that makes it supremely effective. At-risk individuals need to receive the HCQ cocktail at the first sign of symptoms.
But Governor Andrew Cuomo banned the use of HCQ in the entire state of New York on March 6, the Democrat governors of Nevada and Michigan soon followed suit, and by March 28 the whole country was under incarceration-in-place fatwas.
Nothing happened with regard to the use of HCQ in the U.S. until March 20, when President Trump put his foot down and insisted that the FDA consider authorizing HCQ for off-label use to treat SARS-CoV-2.
On March 23, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko reported that he had treated around 500 coronavirus patients with HCQ and had seen an astonishing 100% success rate. That’s not the “anecdotal” evidence Dr. Fauci sneers at, but actual results with real patients in clinical settings.
“Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen. Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.”
Said Dr. Zelenko:
“If you scale this nationally, the economy will rebound much quicker. The country will open again. And let me tell you a very important point. This treatment costs about $20. That’s very important because you can scale that nationally. If every treatment costs $20,000, that’s not so good. All I’m doing is repurposing old, available drugs which we know their safety profiles, and using them in a unique combination in an outpatient setting.”
The questions are disturbing to a spectacular degree.
If Dr. Fauci has known since 2005 of the effectiveness of HCQ, why hasn’t it been administered immediately after people show symptoms, as Dr. Zelenko has done? Maybe then nobody would have died and nobody would have been incarcerated in place except the sick, which is who a quarantine is for in the first place. To paraphrase Jesus, it’s not the symptom-free who need HCQ but the sick. And they need it at the first sign of symptoms.

I can’t think of a single infectious condition — bacterial, fungal, or viral — where the best medical treatment is to delay the use of an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, or anti-viral until the infection is far advanced.”
So why has Dr. Fauci minimized and dismissed HCQ at every turn instead of pushing this thing from jump street? He didn’t even launch clinical trials of HCQ until April 9, by which time 33,000 people had died. READ MORE:

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-24--Mask advocate Dr. Fauci forgoes his own Covid-19 guidances

Twitter goes berserk after mask advocate Fauci forgoes his own Covid-19 guidances Anthony Fauci has taken a tongue-lashing on social media , after photographs of the top US doctor showed him ignoring guidelines put in place to stop the spread of coronavirus .

The grinning doctor appears to be having a great time , even though the photographic evidence suggests that he violated his own social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines .
“ Showing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ masks work !

Photographs caught Fauci sitting between two people with his mask on his chin. The grinning doctor appears to be having a great time, even though the photographic evidence suggests that he violated his own social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines.
Social media backlash was swift and unforgiving.
“Showing us all he knows exactly how well masks work! Thanks for the lesson, doc,” quipped writer and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, who has repeatedly pointed to studies and data which cast doubt on the efficacy of widespread public mask use.
And there’s Dr. Anthony Fauci showing us all he knows exactly how well masks work! Thanks for the lesson, doc. pic.twitter.com/jdHPzq5HfB — Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) July 24, 2020
Amazing data here: Mexico, with essentially uncontrolled #sarscov2 spread, has the second-most mask wearing of any country; the Nordic countries, which have almost no transmission, have the least. Canada is well below the US. Because masks work! pic.twitter.com/5y9zJuFYbw — Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) July 18, 2020

Good thing Fauci wears his mask and stays 6 feet apart pic.twitter.com/idvVmolylY — Jake Shields (@jakeshieldsajj) July 24, 2020
The photos even spawned a hashtag, #FauciTheFraud, which accompanies countless posts accusing the doctor of shedding his mask when the cameras are off.
However, some argued that nothing untoward had occurred, as Fauci was sitting next to his wife and one of his friends and would have known if they were at risk.
he’s in his bubble with his wife and friend. and there’s no one around him. this is a non issue. — S.F. Tech Worker (@sftechworker) July 24, 2020
But this explanation contradicts Fauci’s own self-professed mask-wearing habits. In a recent interview with the Washington Post, the doctor claimed that the only time he doesn’t wear a mask is when he is at home or with his wife or speaking in public, “provided there is six feet between me and the people to whom I am speaking.” In fact, he regularly chides Americans who choose not to wear masks, or wear them incorrectly.
Many US states, as well as countries around the world, have imposed mask mandates, but Fauci himself has not always been an advocate of such policies. In a March interview, he insisted that there was no reason for seemingly healthy people to be “walking around in a mask.” At the time his views reflected a wide consensus among medical professionals and institutions, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the US surgeon general. However, it is now recommended that masks are worn when it’s not possible to keep your distance from other people. The reason for the sudden reversal in guidance has been hotly debated. Although new studies have emerged claiming to show wide mask use could be beneficial, there may be less scientific motives. Deborah Cohen, the medical correspondent of BBC2’s Newsnight, reported earlier this month that the WHO committee reviewing the organization’s mask recommendation was motivated by political lobbying, not new evidence.

KEN’S CORNER: The Road to Life

How many times do you look at your wristwatch in a day ?
From the moment we wake up to our Mickey Mouse alarm clock , until Frasier goes off signaling beddy-by , each and every moment is sectioned and assigned a place in our lives .
It ’ s a coffee break , an early lunch , an afternoon report ( or nap ) , a conference call , the fight of five o ’ clock traffic ; all tied into life like a terminal map .
Men have always been fascinated with the need to tell time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future .
Knowing when to plant the spring crop , burn the field , celebrate , or just have a full moon for travel , has required more and more sophisticated efforts .
No one in history was more fascinated with time then the Maya .
A Sociologist might refer to them as “ true fatalists ” .
That same future birthday , or dinner date we mark on our calendar this year is the same will to plan and predict the future .
They looked ahead many thousands of years by comparing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is one of the most amazing and brilliant accomplishments ever , and the precision or their efforts has remained unparalleled until this century .
No culture has even come close to its accuracy , and in my humble and abbreviated way , I would like to explain it to you .
First off , the Mayan calendar is not based on what we call “ pure science , ” but of very meticulous observations of the sky for very long periods of time .
These observations , along with a highly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement of the heavens very accurately .
As we know , past astrological events repeat , and by keeping a meticulous record , a Mayan priest could foretell the future ( like an eclipse or the return of a comet ) very precisely .
But really , why all the hoopla ?
Originally , early men had the need to know the changing of the seasons for the predictional movement of migratory animals ( for hunting ) , and then later for the planting of crops , and harvest .
Most who study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agree that the use expanded with the advancement of religion , becoming primarily for divination and the regulation of ritual .
Fear of the unknown is a great way to control the masses , as is evident in our own society today .
Those who knew the key to foretelling a future astrological event could use it for a physiological advantage .
In my mind ’ s eye I see it something like those “ cult ” religions in a Conan the Barbarian movie .
What great power and acclaim would a priest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ event as great as an eclipse ?
What color and pomp would be used to intricate this phenomenon ?
Even with the use of human sacrifice !
There was a powerful , powerful sense of duty going on here .
Control of the masses ?
Perhaps so , but it must have taken something strongly controlling to enable a populous to build such massive stone structures without the use of the wheel , a draft animal , or metal tools .
It must have been back breaking and meticulous work .
This system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A Mayan priest might have spent a lifetime fine tuning its varying intricacies .
It is thought that there may have developed a sort of specialization within the framework of each observation .
There were actually three different observational sources : The Solar Calendar , The Ceremonial Calendar , and the Venus Calendar .
Each one was a significant piece in its own way , but all worked in conjunction with each other .
Together , they were called “ The Long Count Calendar.
” Like wheels turning on wheels , it looked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ machine .
There were cycles , moving within cycles , endlessly rotating and moving .
Every day was different , unique , and special .
About 2500 years ago the Greeks had already invented a calendar that was a bit like it .
It was called the “ Zodiac , ” or “ Road to Life.
” But the idea for it is much older and is found in the shadows of prehistory all around the world .
This Mayan Long Count was being introduced about the same time by a group of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The Olmec.
” They traveled to the Americas from someplace highly developed , and brought with them an advanced culture .
( Note : Read my articles on The Olmec , Palenque , Chichen Itza , Tulum , and The Game that Invented…Sudden Death . )
With time , their culture and ideas became assimilated by the Mayans .
Based on the observations of the sun , moon , and Venus , each is special in their own way .
Here ’ s how : They measured a year as 365.24 days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ twenty days each .
The extra five was not considered days but a time where nothing should happen .
The gods slept , so it was a good time to stay home .
Its mythical starting point was August 12 , 3113 BC , long before anybody at all was in the New World !
Again , just a few minutes off from our more accurate observations of today .
Now don ’ t be afraid here , as the calendar is said to have started over after every cycle .
This cycle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world , December 24 , 2011 .
The last time was by flood .
This time ?
I ’ ll let you do your own homework .
The Venus calendar ( according to the Dresden Codex , one of four Mayan books that has survived ) is just as important , and just as strange .
Based on the observations of the planet it is thought that it had a great bearing on planning and implementing war .
Venus ’ complete revolution around the sun varies , ( don ’ t ask me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every five years .
Averaged , it is 583.2 days .
The Mayans rounded it off to 584 so that five revolutions equaled eight solar years .
This is so accurate that the error is just one day off in 6000 years !
Is this astounding or what ?
How did they do that without time measuring instruments , or optical glass ?
It is such a small margin of error that it ’ s really negligible !
Then there was a ritual or Ceremonial Calendar based on 260 days .
It meshes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s how .
Also measured in twenty days as was the Solar Calendar ; each was represented by a god .
The number 13 played a primary roll , starting anew each 13th day , so that 260 days , or 13 times 20 , where the same names and number again occurred .
( Another of the other four books that survived the book burnings and the ravages of time is the Book of Good and Bad Days , A Book of Fate , explained this . )
So this calendar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ordained by chance , or fate .
Okay , this is the key .
As they worked in conjunction , one with 365.24 and the other with 260 , they both repeated every 52 years , a cycle of 18,980 days .
This special event was brought in with much fanfare and celebration , and was usually a once in a lifetime experience .
I can figure some of this out by realizing that the Mayan ’ s observations looked at the sky as revolving around a stationary earth .
I believe that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ round .
Trajectory angles could be determined by visual line of sight of the daily helical rise and set of objects .
I ’ d say a minimal amount of math would be needed here .
But these long observations , ( the entire calendar ) along with mathematical estimations , left a margin of error for the year of one hour and twelve minutes !
As our decimal system is based on 10 and its multiples , Maya math was based on 20 .
Perhaps in a subsequent column I ’ ll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positioning .
I ’ ve never been very good at higher math , but I know that with the use of zero , this type of system ( where numbers were written from top to bottom ) gave Maya Mathematicians the ability to cope with super large numbers .
In this “ vigestimal ” system , a value of the same number could go , for instance , from 160,000 to 3,199,999 .
This system was pure genius !
Without the invention of the zero , as in all advanced cultures , scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ civilization ( right here in America ) outdistanced both Greek and Roman math !
Cool huh !
From the Author , Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade , peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts .
Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions , further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty .
And so , as we are pulled by forces we can not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stolen from our future , unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt , we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour : Are we going to fight for our master ’ s tyranny , or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution ?
Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty , or the shackles of voluntary servitude ?
Will it be a war for corporate profit , or a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ govern , as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us , their children , as a gift ?
I fear that decision is emanate .
I fear that any decision will be a hard one , but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us .

First off, the Mayan calendar is not based on what we call “pure science,” but of very meticulous observations of the sky for very long periods of time. These observations, along with a highly and specifically developed mathematics, correlated the movement of the heavens very accurately. As we know, past astrological events repeat, and by keeping a meticulous record, a Mayan priest could foretell the future (like an eclipse or the return of a comet) very precisely. But really, why all the hoopla?
Originally, early men had the need to know the changing of the seasons for the predictional movement of migratory animals (for hunting), and then later for the planting of crops, and harvest.

Even with the use of human sacrifice! There was a powerful, powerful sense of duty going on here. Control of the masses? Perhaps so, but it must have taken something strongly controlling to enable a populous to build such massive stone structures without the use of the wheel, a draft animal, or metal tools. It must have been back breaking and meticulous work.
This system of measuring time is very complicated. A Mayan priest might have spent a lifetime fine tuning its varying intricacies. It is thought that there may have developed a sort of specialization within the framework of each observation. There were actually three different observational sources: The Solar Calendar, The Ceremonial Calendar, and the Venus Calendar. Each one was a significant piece in its own way, but all worked in conjunction with each other. Together, they were called “The Long Count Calendar.” Like wheels turning on wheels, it looked like the sprockets of a fantastic great machine. There were cycles, moving within cycles, endlessly rotating and moving. Every day was different, unique, and special.
About 2500 years ago the Greeks had already invented a calendar that was a bit like it. It was called the “Zodiac,” or “Road to Life.” But the idea for it is much older and is found in the shadows of prehistory all around the world.

Based on the observations of the sun, moon, and Venus, each is special in their own way. Here’s how:
They measured a year as 365.24 days and divided it into eighteen months of twenty days each. The extra five was not considered days but a time where nothing should happen. The gods slept, so it was a good time to stay home. Its mythical starting point was August 12, 3113 BC, long before anybody at all was in the New World! Again, just a few minutes off from our more accurate observations of today. Now don’t be afraid here, as the calendar is said to have started over after every cycle. This cycle ends, with the destruction of the world, December 24, 2011. The last time was by flood. This time? I’ll let you do your own homework.
The Venus calendar (according to the Dresden Codex, one of four Mayan books that has survived) is just as important, and just as strange. Based on the observations of the planet it is thought that it had a great bearing on planning and implementing war. Venus’ complete revolution around the sun varies, (don’t ask me why) between 580 and 588 days every five years. Averaged, it is 583.2 days. The Mayans rounded it off to 584 so that five revolutions equaled eight solar years. This is so accurate that the error is just one day off in 6000 years! Is this astounding or what?

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty.

Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude?

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-24--Whitehead: The Federal Coup To Overthrow The States And Nix The 10th Amendment Is Underway

Whitehead : The Federal Coup To Overthrow The States And Nix The 10th Amendment Is Underway Authored by John Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute , as posted by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge What is unfolding before our very eyes—with police agencies defying local governments in order to tap into the power of federal militarized troops in order to put down domestic unrest—could very quickly snowball into an act of aggression against the states , a coup by armed , militarized agents of the federal government .
At a minimum , this is an attack on the Tenth Amendment , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the citizenry , and the right of the states to stand as a bulwark against overreach and power grabs by the federal government .
If you ’ re still deluding yourself into believing that this thinly-veiled exercise in martial law is anything other than an attempt to bulldoze what remains of the Constitution and reinforce the iron-fisted rule of the police state , you need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid .
This is no longer about partisan politics or civil unrest or even authoritarian impulses .
Unless we take back the reins—and soon—looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , historians may well point to the events of 2020 as the death blow to America ’ s short-lived experiment in self-government .
The government ’ s recent actions in Portland , Oregon—when unidentified federal agents ( believed to be border police , ICE and DHS agents ) , wearing military fatigues with patches that just say “ Police ” and sporting all kinds of weapons , descended uninvited on the city in unmarked vehicles , snatching protesters off the streets and detaining them without formally arresting them or offering any explanation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a foretaste of what ’ s to come .
One of those detainees was a 53-year-old disabled Navy veteran who was in downtown Portland during the protests but not a participant .
Concerned about the tactics being used by government agents who had taken an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution , Christopher David tried to speak the “ secret ” police .
Almost immediately , he was assaulted by federal agents , beaten with batons and pepper sprayed Another peaceful protester was reportedly shot in the head with an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Trump Administration has already announced its plans to deploy these border patrol agents to other cities across the country ( Chicago is supposedly next ) in an apparent bid to put down civil unrest .
Yet the overriding concerns by state and local government officials to Trump ’ s plans suggest that weaponizing the DHS as an occupying army will only provoke more violence and unrest .
Under the guise of protecting federal properties against civil unrest , the Trump Administration has formed a task force of secret agents who look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a raid and have been empowered to roam cities in unmarked vehicles , snatching citizens off the streets , whether or not they ’ ve been engaged in illegal activities .
As the Guardian reports , “ The incidents being described sound eerily reminiscent of the CIA ’ s post-9/11 rendition program under George W Bush , where intelligence agents would roll up in unmarked vans in foreign countries , blindfold terrorism suspects ( many of whom turned to be innocent ) and kidnap them without explanation .
Only instead of occurring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Middle East , it ’ s happening in downtown Portland.
” The so-called racial justice activists who have made looting , violence , vandalism and intimidation tactics the hallmarks of their protests have played right into the government ’ s hands They have delivered all of us into the police state ’ s hands .
There ’ s a reason Trump has tapped the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for this dirty business : these agencies are notorious for their lawlessness , routinely sidestepping the Constitution and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gets in their way , including legal citizens .
Indeed , it was only a matter of time before these roving bands of border patrol agents began flexing their muscles far beyond the nation ’ s borders and exercising their right to disregard the Constitution at every turn .
Except these border patrol cops aren ’ t just disregarding the Constitution .
They ’ re trampling all over the Constitution , especially the Fourth Amendment , which prohibits the government from carrying out egregious warrantless searches and seizures without probable cause .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crackdown on illegal immigration , drugs and trafficking , its border patrol cops have been expanding their reach , roaming further afield and subjecting greater numbers of Americans to warrantless searches , ID checkpoints , transportation checks , and even surveillance on private property far beyond the boundaries of the borderlands .
That so-called border , once a thin borderline , has become an ever-thickening band spreading deeper and deeper inside the country .
Now , with this latest salvo by the Trump administration in its so-called crackdown on rioting and civil unrest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Constitution-free zone where freedom is off-limits and government agents have all the power and “ we the people ” have none .
The Customs and Border Protection ( CBP ) , with its more than 60,000 employees , supplemented by the National Guard and the U.S. military , is an arm of the Department of Homeland Security , a national police force imbued with all the brutality , ineptitude and corruption such a role implies .
Just about every nefarious deed , tactic or thuggish policy advanced by the government today can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its police state mindset , and the billions of dollars it distributes to local police agencies in the form of grants to transform them into extensions of the military .
As Miller points out , the government has turned the nation ’ s expanding border regions into “ a ripe place to experiment with tearing apart the Constitution , a place where not just undocumented border-crossers , but millions of borderland residents have become the targets of continual surveillance.
” In much the same way that police across the country have been schooled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , border cops have also been drilled in the art of “ anything goes ” in the name of national security .
In fact , according to FOIA documents shared with The Intercept , border cops even have a checklist of “ possible behaviors ” that warrant overriding the Constitution and subjecting individuals—including American citizens—to stops , searches , seizures , interrogations and even arrests .
For instance , if you ’ re driving a vehicle that to a border cop looks unusual in some way , you can be stopped .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can be stopped .
If you or your passengers avoid looking at a cop , you can be stopped .
If you or your passengers look too long at a cop , you can be stopped .
If you ’ re anywhere near a border ( near being within 100 miles of a border , or in a city , or on a bus , or at an airport ) , you can be stopped and asked to prove you ’ re legally allowed to be in the country .
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that smugglers and other criminals may have traveled , you can be stopped .
If you ’ re not driving in the same direction as other cars , you can be stopped .
If you appear to be avoiding a police checkpoint , you can be stopped .
If your car appears to be weighed down , you can be stopped .
If your vehicle is from out of town , wherever that might be , you can be stopped .
If you ’ re driving a make of car that criminal-types have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If your car appears to have been altered or modified , you can be stopped .
If the cargo area in your vehicle is covered , you can be stopped .
If you ’ re driving during a time of day or night that border cops find suspicious , you can be stopped .
If you ’ re driving when border cops are changing shifts , you can be stopped .
If you ’ re driving in a motorcade or with another vehicle , you can be stopped .
If your car @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If people with you are trying to avoid being seen , or exhibiting “ unusual ” behavior , you can be stopped .
If you slow down after seeing a cop , you can be stopped .
In Portland , which is 400 miles from the border , protesters didn ’ t even have to be near federal buildings to be targeted .
Some claimed to be targeted for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration .
Are you starting to get the picture yet ?
This was never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all .
It ’ s been a test to see how far “ we the people ” will allow the government to push the limits of the Constitution .
We ’ ve been failing this particular test for a long time now .
It was when Americans , their fears stoked by rumblings of a Quasi-War with France , failed to protest the Alien and Sedition Acts , which criminalized anti-government speech , empowered the government to deport “ dangerous ” non-citizens and made it harder for immigrants to vote .
During the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the writ of habeas corpus ( the right to a speedy trial ) and authorized government officials to spy on Americans ’ mail .
During , Americans took it in stride when President Woodrow Wilson and Congress adopted the Espionage and Sedition Acts , which made it a crime to interfere with the war effort and criminalized any speech critical of war .
By , Americans were marching in lockstep with the government ’ s expanding war powers to imprison Japanese-American citizens in detainment camps , censor mail , and lay the groundwork @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the , the McCarthy era ’ s hearings on un-American activities , and the government ’ s surveillance of Civil Rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr.—all done in the name of national security .
By the time rolled around , all George W. Bush had to do was claim the country was being invaded by terrorists , and the government was given greater powers to spy , search , detain and arrest American citizens in order to keep America safe .
The terrorist invasion never really happened , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made possible by the nefarious USA Patriot Act .
continued Bush ’ s trend of undermining the Constitution , going so far as to give the military the power to strip Americans of their constitutional rights , label them extremists , and detain them indefinitely without trial , all in the name of keeping America safe .
Despite the fact that the breadth of the military ’ s power to detain American citizens violates not only U.S. law and the Constitution but also international laws , the government has refused to relinquish its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Defense Authorization Act ( NDAA ) .
Then took office , claiming the country was being invaded by dangerous immigrants and insisting that the only way to keep America safe was to build an expensive border wall , expand the reach of border patrol , and empower the military to “ assist ” with border control .
That so-called immigration crisis has now morphed into multiple crises ( domestic extremism , the COVID-19 pandemic , race wars , civil unrest , etc . )
that the government is eager to use in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ ve learned the hard way , once the government acquires—and uses—additional powers ( to spy on its citizens , to carry out surveillance , to transform its police forces into extensions of the police , to seize taxpayer funds , to wage endless wars , to censor and silence dissidents , to identify potential troublemakers , to detain citizens without due process ) , it does not voluntarily relinquish them This is the slippery slope on which we ’ ve been traveling for far too long .
As Yale historian Timothy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ classic way that violence happens in authoritarian regimes , whether it ’ s Franco ’ s Spain or whether it ’ s the Russian Empire .
The people who are getting used to committing violence on the border are then brought in to commit violence against people in the interior.
” Sure , it ’ s the Trump Administration calling the shots right now , but it ’ s government agents armed with totalitarian powers and beholden to the bureaucratic Deep State who are carrying out these orders in defiance of the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s Trump or Biden or someone else altogether , this year or a dozen years from now , the damage has been done : as I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , we have allowed the president to acquire dictatorial powers that can be unleashed at any moment .
There ’ s a reason the Trump Administration is consulting with John Yoo , the Bush-era attorney notorious for justifying waterboarding torture tactics against detainees .
They ’ re not looking to understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the Constitution .
Rather , they ’ re desperately seeking ways to thwart the Constitution .
As Harvard constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe recognizes , “ The dictatorial hunger for power is insatiable .
This is how it begins .
This is how it always begins .
Don ’ t be fooled into thinking any of this will change when the next election rolls around .

“I don’t need invitations by the state, state mayors, or state governors, to do our job. We’re going to do that, whether they like us there or not.” – Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf’s defense of the Trump Administration’s deployment of militarized federal police to address civil unrest in the states
This is a wake-up call
What is unfolding before our very eyes—with police agencies defying local governments in order to tap into the power of federal militarized troops in order to put down domestic unrest—could very quickly snowball into an act of aggression against the states, a coup by armed, militarized agents of the federal government.
At a minimum, this is an attack on the Tenth Amendment, which affirms the sovereignty of the states and the citizenry, and the right of the states to stand as a bulwark against overreach and power grabs by the federal government.
If you’re still deluding yourself into believing that this thinly-veiled exercise in martial law is anything other than an attempt to bulldoze what remains of the Constitution and reinforce the iron-fisted rule of the police state, you need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
This is no longer about partisan politics or civil unrest or even authoritarian impulses.
This is a turning point.
Unless we take back the reins—and soon—looking back on this time years from now, historians may well point to the events of 2020 as the death blow to America’s short-lived experiment in self-government.
The government’s recent actions in Portland, Oregon—when unidentified federal agents (believed to be border police, ICE and DHS agents), wearing military fatigues with patches that just say “Police” and sporting all kinds of weapons, descended uninvited on the city in unmarked vehicles, snatching protesters off the streets and detaining them without formally arresting them or offering any explanation of why they’re being held—is just a foretaste of what’s to come.
One of those detainees was a 53-year-old disabled Navy veteran who was in downtown Portland during the protests but not a participant. Concerned about the tactics being used by government agents who had taken an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution, Christopher David tried to speak the “secret” police. Almost immediately, he was assaulted by federal agents, beaten with batons and pepper sprayed
Another peaceful protester was reportedly shot in the head with an impact weapon by this federal goon squad.
The Trump Administration has already announced its plans to deploy these border patrol agents to other cities across the country (Chicago is supposedly next) in an apparent bid to put down civil unrest. Yet the overriding concerns by state and local government officials to Trump’s plans suggest that weaponizing the DHS as an occupying army will only provoke more violence and unrest.
We’ve been set up.
Under the guise of protecting federal properties against civil unrest, the Trump Administration has formed a task force of secret agents who look, dress and act like military stormtroopers on a raid and have been empowered to roam cities in unmarked vehicles, snatching citizens off the streets, whether or not they’ve been engaged in illegal activities.
As the Guardian reports, “The incidents being described sound eerily reminiscent of the CIA’s post-9/11 rendition program under George W Bush, where intelligence agents would roll up in unmarked vans in foreign countries, blindfold terrorism suspects (many of whom turned to be innocent) and kidnap them without explanation. Only instead of occurring on the streets of Italy or the Middle East, it’s happening in downtown Portland.”
The so-called racial justice activists who have made looting, violence, vandalism and intimidation tactics the hallmarks of their protests have played right into the government’s hands
They have delivered all of us into the police state’s hands.
There’s a reason Trump has tapped the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for this dirty business: these agencies are notorious for their lawlessness, routinely sidestepping the Constitution and trampling on the rights of anyone who gets in their way, including legal citizens.
Indeed, it was only a matter of time before these roving bands of border patrol agents began flexing their muscles far beyond the nation’s borders and exercising their right to disregard the Constitution at every turn.
Except these border patrol cops aren’t just disregarding the Constitution.
They’re trampling all over the Constitution, especially the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits the government from carrying out egregious warrantless searches and seizures without probable cause.
As part of the government’s so-called crackdown on illegal immigration, drugs and trafficking, its border patrol cops have been expanding their reach, roaming further afield and subjecting greater numbers of Americans to warrantless searches, ID checkpoints, transportation checks, and even surveillance on private property far beyond the boundaries of the borderlands.
That so-called border, once a thin borderline, has become an ever-thickening band spreading deeper and deeper inside the country.
Now, with this latest salvo by the Trump administration in its so-called crackdown on rioting and civil unrest, America itself is about to become a Constitution-free zone where freedom is off-limits and government agents have all the power and “we the people” have none.
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP), with its more than 60,000 employees, supplemented by the National Guard and the U.S. military, is an arm of the Department of Homeland Security, a national police force imbued with all the brutality, ineptitude and corruption such a role implies.
As journalist Todd Miller explains:
In these vast domains, Homeland Security authorities can institute roving patrols with broad, extra-constitutional powers backed by national security, immigration enforcement and drug interdiction mandates. There, the Border Patrol can set up traffic checkpoints and fly surveillance drones overhead with high-powered cameras and radar that can track your movements. Within twenty-five miles of the international boundary, CBP agents can enter a person’s private property without a warrant.
Just about every nefarious deed, tactic or thuggish policy advanced by the government today can be traced back to the DHS, its police state mindset, and the billions of dollars it distributes to local police agencies in the form of grants to transform them into extensions of the military.
As Miller points out, the government has turned the nation’s expanding border regions into “a ripe place to experiment with tearing apart the Constitution, a place where not just undocumented border-crossers, but millions of borderland residents have become the targets of continual surveillance.”
In much the same way that police across the country have been schooled in the art of sidestepping the Constitution, border cops have also been drilled in the art of “anything goes” in the name of national security.
In fact, according to FOIA documents shared with The Intercept, border cops even have a checklist of “possible behaviors” that warrant overriding the Constitution and subjecting individuals—including American citizens—to stops, searches, seizures, interrogations and even arrests.
For instance, if you’re driving a vehicle that to a border cop looks unusual in some way, you can be stopped. If your passengers look dirty or unusual, you can be stopped. If you or your passengers avoid looking at a cop, you can be stopped. If you or your passengers look too long at a cop, you can be stopped.
If you’re anywhere near a border (near being within 100 miles of a border, or in a city, or on a bus, or at an airport), you can be stopped and asked to prove you’re legally allowed to be in the country. If you’re traveling on a public road that smugglers and other criminals may have traveled, you can be stopped.
If you’re not driving in the same direction as other cars, you can be stopped. If you appear to be avoiding a police checkpoint, you can be stopped. If your car appears to be weighed down, you can be stopped. If your vehicle is from out of town, wherever that might be, you can be stopped. If you’re driving a make of car that criminal-types have also driven, you can be stopped.
If your car appears to have been altered or modified, you can be stopped. If the cargo area in your vehicle is covered, you can be stopped.
If you’re driving during a time of day or night that border cops find suspicious, you can be stopped. If you’re driving when border cops are changing shifts, you can be stopped. If you’re driving in a motorcade or with another vehicle, you can be stopped. If your car appears dusty, you can be stopped.
If people with you are trying to avoid being seen, or exhibiting “unusual” behavior, you can be stopped. If you slow down after seeing a cop, you can be stopped.
In Portland, which is 400 miles from the border, protesters didn’t even have to be near federal buildings to be targeted. Some claimed to be targeted for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration.
Are you starting to get the picture yet?
This was never about illegal aliens and border crossings at all. It’s been a test to see how far “we the people” will allow the government to push the limits of the Constitution.
We’ve been failing this particular test for a long time now.
It was 1798 when Americans, their fears stoked by rumblings of a Quasi-War with France, failed to protest the Alien and Sedition Acts, which criminalized anti-government speech, empowered the government to deport “dangerous” non-citizens and made it harder for immigrants to vote.
During the Civil War, Americans went along when Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus (the right to a speedy trial) and authorized government officials to spy on Americans’ mail.
During World War I , Americans took it in stride when President Woodrow Wilson and Congress adopted the Espionage and Sedition Acts, which made it a crime to interfere with the war effort and criminalized any speech critical of war.
By World War II , Americans were marching in lockstep with the government’s expanding war powers to imprison Japanese-American citizens in detainment camps, censor mail, and lay the groundwork for the future surveillance state.
Fast-forward to the Cold War’s Red Scares , the McCarthy era’s hearings on un-American activities, and the government’s surveillance of Civil Rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr.—all done in the name of national security.
By the time 9/11 rolled around, all George W. Bush had to do was claim the country was being invaded by terrorists, and the government was given greater powers to spy, search, detain and arrest American citizens in order to keep America safe.
The terrorist invasion never really happened, but the government kept its newly acquired police powers made possible by the nefarious USA Patriot Act.
Barack Obama continued Bush’s trend of undermining the Constitution, going so far as to give the military the power to strip Americans of their constitutional rights, label them extremists, and detain them indefinitely without trial, all in the name of keeping America safe.
Despite the fact that the breadth of the military’s power to detain American citizens violates not only U.S. law and the Constitution but also international laws, the government has refused to relinquish its detention powers made possible by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Then Donald Trump took office, claiming the country was being invaded by dangerous immigrants and insisting that the only way to keep America safe was to build an expensive border wall, expand the reach of border patrol, and empower the military to “assist” with border control.
That so-called immigration crisis has now morphed into multiple crises (domestic extremism, the COVID-19 pandemic, race wars, civil unrest, etc.) that the government is eager to use in order to expand its powers.
Yet as we’ve learned the hard way, once the government acquires—and uses—additional powers (to spy on its citizens, to carry out surveillance, to transform its police forces into extensions of the police, to seize taxpayer funds, to wage endless wars, to censor and silence dissidents, to identify potential troublemakers, to detain citizens without due process), it does not voluntarily relinquish them
This is the slippery slope on which we’ve been traveling for far too long.
As Yale historian Timothy Snyder explains, “This is a classic way that violence happens in authoritarian regimes, whether it’s Franco’s Spain or whether it’s the Russian Empire. The people who are getting used to committing violence on the border are then brought in to commit violence against people in the interior.”
Sure, it’s the Trump Administration calling the shots right now, but it’s government agents armed with totalitarian powers and beholden to the bureaucratic Deep State who are carrying out these orders in defiance of the U.S. Constitution and all it represents.
Whether it’s Trump or Biden or someone else altogether, this year or a dozen years from now, the damage has been done: as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we have allowed the president to acquire dictatorial powers that can be unleashed at any moment.
There’s a reason the Trump Administration is consulting with John Yoo, the Bush-era attorney notorious for justifying waterboarding torture tactics against detainees. They’re not looking to understand how to follow the law and abide by the Constitution. Rather, they’re desperately seeking ways to thwart the Constitution.
As Harvard constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe recognizes, “The dictatorial hunger for power is insatiable.
This is how it begins.
This is how it always begins.
Don’t be fooled into thinking any of this will change when the next election rolls around.

As black lives are lost in NYC because of him, de Blasio says BLM movement is ‘seismic’
By: M. Dowling
Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday that the Black Lives Matter movement “transcends any notion of politics.” That was his excuse for allowing the words to be painted on streets but not other murals like Blue Lives matter.
“This is about something much bigger than any one group,” de Blasio said during his daily City Hall press briefing after a reporter asked him why not other murals.
“This is about righting a wrong and moving forward. So I think that’s the right approach,” Hizzoner said as he explained why he had “Black Lives Matter” painted in massive yellow letters on city streets, taking part in several of the painting processes.
De Blasio plans to put these murals all over each borough.
“I think we have had a seismic moment in this country’s history,” de Blasio said Thursday as he compared the recent nationwide protests to the “civil rights movement of ’50s and ’60s in terms of its importance.”
“The original sin of the United States of America — slavery, and all of the effects over 400 years being brought out into the open in a new way and a chance for this country to get it right to address this problem to move forward and it’s summarized in the three words: Black Lives Matter,” he said.
De Blasio said he does not believe “Black Lives Matter” is “a political message in the traditional sense.”
Obviously, it is a very political, Marxist message. That’s all de Blasio cares about. While he’s pushing communism, black lives are lost in his city.
HE CARES LITTLE ABOUT THE BLACK LIVES LOST UNDER HIS POLICIES
De Blasio is a racist. He doesn’t care at all about black people. How can he tie the hands of police and give the okay to criminals to run wild and kill 1-year-old babies, a 7-year-old child, and a 14-year-old child in a little more than a week? That’s true racism.
This is a crisis against poor people and especially minorities.
All de Blasio stands for is lettering on the street while he ignores dead innocents, a grandmother on a stoop, a 4-year-old asleep in bed.
This fool is going to sue to stop the federal government from sending in help to stop the mayhem and killings. And he won’t stop it himself. That’s true racism. Meanwhile, the truly dumb mayor seems unaware that dozens of federal agencies already work in New York City to stop crime, including fusion centers.
