thelibertybeacon--2020-12-18--KEN’S CORNER: Liberty & Mandated Vaccination

Let us study the idea/concept of a mandated vaccination in a Constitutional Republic .
It isn ’ t an easy task .
As always , to get to the truth , one must hit that ball back and forth , and when the dust settles , hopefully the truth will not only be visible , but we will have the ability to recognize it when seen .
One might think the argument a simple matter to consider , and yet there is a powerful triangulation that stymies most all civility , and the truth of this matter is covered in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you want to know the truth , which is not always evident in the world of men , follow the paper trail .
If corporate profit is made , and a parent challenges it , the question must be asked : Was there a standard moral compass for both sides ?
Is a moral compass necessary ?
You see , corporations are structured to protect themselves from this scrutiny .
Corporations are a shell game , with one protected by another in a variety of ways… They are compartmentalized just for that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idea what the hand of another division is doing ?
Even those who are supposed to be calling the shots from the pinnacles , are one of hundreds of vice presidents , and all have a different job description , responsibilities , and not privy to what other company men are doing .
This way , very few feel responsible for any negative outcome that a corporation might produce .
Since they have no control over the collective , they can relinquish all moral responsibility .
And so , if love and fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who refuses a vaccine , there must be a counter moral equivalent from the corporate side , something beyond a black bottom line .
If there is not , there is no use debating it… And that is the rub , isn ’ t it ?
And surely , as we throw this ball back and forth , there must be exceptions , but I challenge you to find one .
Why would a company say that they do not buy lumber from the rain-forests , advertise that they are not open on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with family , or promote that they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ , so they can be trusted , if there was even the remote possibility it would harm their profit margin .
Feel uncomfortable asking that question ?
No , that determination was considered , before the statement was promoted publicly .
Its kinda like a group of similar corporations and bankers , who have grown so powerful they can actually crush a country , and out of the dust they impose a puppet dictator instead of a Constitutional Republic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by God ?
And each division , only knows that the company stock is going up , that their retirement plan is matched , and the yearly bonus has grown faster than inflation… On one side is a parent protecting their children , and the other a conglomerate mandate that all children be required , by pain of fine and or imprisonment , be vaccinated without due process , consideration , self determination or civil liberty… Out of love and fear a parent might risk the virtual forfeiture of any further participation inside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ marked so that they will be identified everywhere they travel , and will be forever labeled as immoral and irresponsible , unless of course , they resend…if they do not resend , there is the distinct possibility that the Government will take their children from them.. it is the price paid for dissonance on one hand , and an unquestioned and dominating authority on the other… .
Civil Disobedience , the Constitution , our civil liberties , freedom , Liberty from tyranny , all morality and ethics , Love and joy , all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ science , all of history and our future , everything both artful or speculated by scientific hypothesis , and our undeniable imagination… all in question by a parent guarding their children… a parent who emphatically says no… and it is well known that they would do anything , anything at all… out of selfless love .
And Big Pharma knows this… and that is where the paper trail both begins and ends… Big Pharma is even bigger then the Military Industrial Complex , and Government whats to control that… oh , really ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that is the classic definition of an oligarchy .
It is a collection of Pharmaceutical corporations with a singular mindset , working in conjunction… and by the use of media , and corporate lawyers , they pay billions for their drug adds , at the same time lobbying congress to support them in their monetary-big-Parma endeavors .
Lobbying is not a plea for help ; it is bought and paid for…It may or may not surprise you to know that “ Obamacare… ” …you know the one that had to pass so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Well , now the thousands of pages are found to be full of doublespeak , and convoluted lawyer loop-holes , and has a Big Brother Parma-fingerprint on every page .
They finally had enough for both sides to vote it in , and what prey-tell changed their minds , not actually knowing what was in it ?
What could change the mind of a man who is bought and paid or ?
So lets hit the ball back for a moment… Why would a loving woman take a stand against another loving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with something else , like fear .
And where would she get this fear ?
From a long ago teacher ?
An inner voice of reason ?
What if , is it at all possible , that media propaganda played a part ?
And who controls this media , corporations do , and what is their primary objective ?
Is it a cure for cancer ?
Is it a free drug that cures diabetes ?
No , no more so does a surgeon want to tell you that a topical cream will get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Cutting it out will be far more effective , I ’ m told , and they sleep very well justifying that it is… Isn ’ t Anti-vaccination parents deemed by Pro-vaccinated parents to be dangerous and irresponsible ?
And that without a particular vaccination , as all others are required by law to do… that they… individually , along with their entire family , will be scorned as irresponsible to the collective needs of our civilization , and the decision to withdraw from the system irresponsible .
Some , but not all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chance is worth the risk , even in the wake of admitting that the increase in autism is not readily understood .
Thought to be about a one in thousand chance a generation ago , it is now about one in a hundred chance a child will develop autism , and though is looks to be escalating , the trigger is not known .
Is it as simple as one person not being able to put their feet in another person ’ s shoes ?
Surely , you would think differently , question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your child contracted autism , and on the very day you got a shot… and in your studies , found that some statistics said that one child in every on hundred children might get autism , and another stating there was a one in a hundred chance .
Throwing the dice is not the same as a solid statistic , but that is precisely what confuses truth… and without truth you are nothing but a slave with no future you can call your own .
Your child had a slight fever , some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is enough to show that each individual reacts differently to the shot !
If there are differing reactions , who would not concede that some people may be more susceptible than others ?
The nurses , practitioners of many kinds , and doctors that I know , some in my family , and some who I see professionally , overwhelmingly agree that vaccinations are a powerful force for good .
Now this may be entirely true , or not… shouldn ’ t we consider that the primary reason for this strong supportive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for their entire career , believed that vaccinations are a power for good , and that even the mere suggestion that it is not is an affront not only to their intellect , their professionalism , but a moral and ethical affront as well ?
Who , with so much education , making daily life and death decisions , would readily admit the remote possibility that they have been duped .
Surely , a doctor three hundred years ago would look at how medicine is being practiced today as magic .
And surely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compilations having the ability to save all data , making it easily accessible to all those working on similar projects , that we are doubling our store of knowledge in most all of the sciences , every 2.2 years ?
Could there be , Lord forbid , something that might curb this expansion of knowledge ?
Perhaps a reluctance to relinquish power , control , and a black bottom line .
Those who are questioning these vaccines , are not doing it for any other reason but that they love their children , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is glaringly noticeable that only a few men are taking up this issue , from the media to the courts , and that is the rub .
Both sides should be seen to have the same general motivation , a love for our children and a need to see them safe .
And one might think that would be enough to work together , but it is not .
• There is the trust issue .
Both big corporations and government , all modern governments , work together for a common cause .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ some Western corporations , and central banks too .
Do you think that Western inventions are protected by law beyond the borders of China , Russia , or India ?
International law ?
Ever wonder why our country is so opposed to being under the jurisdiction of a system of international law ?
No , it has nothing to do with your right to bear arms , but of arms and drug trafficking .
If you really want truth , do a bit of homework using this question : “ What does Afghanistan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran , Saudi and Israel , Cuba and North Korea , have in common ?
” Want a hint ?
Its Profit .
Corporate profit .
• If you vaccinate your children , and it works , then they surely must be safe from those who are not vaccinated .
Unless , of course , the vaccination did not work .
So what moral justification does one woman have over the other ?
Both are loving and caring , responsible parents , who want to do what is right .
If there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ argument so cut and dry ?
• Read the Public Health Service Act ( PHSA ) .
And how it deals with something they term “ Quarantine.
” Any resistance , as they can proclaim martial law , is futile , with unconstitutional draconian enforcement backed by the military .
Yes , we trust them .
We trust everything that is said on the black box too .
They have never lied to us !
Out of manufactured fear , one woman would destroy another woman for taking a stand on this issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her kids .
Note : I know a woman in Crowley , LA , who has been raising a child who was normal the same day it was inoculated , over forty years ago .
“ While we were driving home , I saw the change in her .
I saw her alert , with sparkling eyes who saw me and reacted to me , and I watched them turn dull and without light before we got home .
She didn ’ t die that day , only her future did , because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is no way anyone can tell me that shot had nothing to do with it .
It can ’ t be proved , so they told me , but I live with it every day , and I know damned well the shot did it.
” This year she will be 48 .
She still plays with the same teddy bear , has never learned to read , and is barley potty trained .
She can not be trusted alone , and has to be monitored from the time she wakes up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sleep .
She is diagnosed with having autism , and no one can explain how or why .
Don ’ t we have an obligation to ask these questions ?
Any loving and responsible parent would .
It is said that we will be required to have the Covid Vaccine .
That we will be required to have a certificate to travel by plane , to attend school , to eat in a restaurant , to go to a ball game , to get married , by penalty of law .

Let us study the idea/concept of a mandated vaccination in a Constitutional Republic. It isn’t an easy task. As always, to get to the truth, one must hit that ball back and forth, and when the dust settles, hopefully the truth will not only be visible, but we will have the ability to recognize it when seen.
One might think the argument a simple matter to consider, and yet there is a powerful triangulation that stymies most all civility, and the truth of this matter is covered in both fear, and outright lies. If you want to know the truth, which is not always evident in the world of men, follow the paper trail.

This way, very few feel responsible for any negative outcome that a corporation might produce. Since they have no control over the collective, they can relinquish all moral responsibility.
And so, if love and fear is the primary motivator of an individual who refuses a vaccine, there must be a counter moral equivalent from the corporate side, something beyond a black bottom line. If there is not, there is no use debating it… And that is the rub, isn’t it? And surely, as we throw this ball back and forth, there must be exceptions, but I challenge you to find one.
Why would a company say that they do not buy lumber from the rain-forests, advertise that they are not open on Sunday because their employees need a day with family, or promote that they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, so they can be trusted, if there was even the remote possibility it would harm their profit margin. Feel uncomfortable asking that question? No, that determination was considered, before the statement was promoted publicly. Its kinda like a group of similar corporations and bankers, who have grown so powerful they can actually crush a country, and out of the dust they impose a puppet dictator instead of a Constitutional Republic, with civil liberties said to be inspired by God?

So lets hit the ball back for a moment…
Why would a loving woman take a stand against another loving woman, unless her mind is filled with something else, like fear. And where would she get this fear? From a long ago teacher? An inner voice of reason? What if, is it at all possible, that media propaganda played a part? And who controls this media, corporations do, and what is their primary objective? Is it a cure for cancer? Is it a free drug that cures diabetes? No, no more so does a surgeon want to tell you that a topical cream will get rid of a planter’s wart. Cutting it out will be far more effective, I’m told, and they sleep very well justifying that it is…
Wait, lets bounce it back again…
Isn’t Anti-vaccination parents deemed by Pro-vaccinated parents to be dangerous and irresponsible? And that without a particular vaccination, as all others are required by law to do… that they… individually, along with their entire family, will be scorned as irresponsible to the collective needs of our civilization, and the decision to withdraw from the system irresponsible. Some, but not all, who are Pro-Vaccination, say the chance is worth the risk, even in the wake of admitting that the increase in autism is not readily understood. Thought to be about a one in thousand chance a generation ago, it is now about one in a hundred chance a child will develop autism, and though is looks to be escalating, the trigger is not known. Is it as simple as one person not being able to put their feet in another person’s shoes? Surely, you would think differently, question the official narrative more closely, if your child contracted autism, and on the very day you got a shot… and in your studies, found that some statistics said that one child in every on hundred children might get autism, and another stating there was a one in a hundred chance. Throwing the dice is not the same as a solid statistic, but that is precisely what confuses truth… and without truth you are nothing but a slave with no future you can call your own.

Who, with so much education, making daily life and death decisions, would readily admit the remote possibility that they have been duped.

And surely, without a doubt, with computer compilations having the ability to save all data, making it easily accessible to all those working on similar projects, that we are doubling our store of knowledge in most all of the sciences, every 2.2 years? Could there be, Lord forbid, something that might curb this expansion of knowledge? Perhaps a reluctance to relinquish power, control, and a black bottom line.
Those who are questioning these vaccines, are not doing it for any other reason but that they love their children, and fear for their safety. It is glaringly noticeable that only a few men are taking up this issue, from the media to the courts, and that is the rub. Both sides should be seen to have the same general motivation, a love for our children and a need to see them safe. And one might think that would be enough to work together, but it is not.
Points to consider…
There is the trust issue. Both big corporations and government, all modern governments, work together for a common cause. Some corporations in Russia feel competitive with some Western corporations, and central banks too. Do you think that Western inventions are protected by law beyond the borders of China, Russia, or India? International law? Ever wonder why our country is so opposed to being under the jurisdiction of a system of international law? No, it has nothing to do with your right to bear arms, but of arms and drug trafficking. If you really want truth, do a bit of homework using this question: “What does Afghanistan Poppy, Medicinal Marijuana, Benghazi, Iran, Saudi and Israel, Cuba and North Korea, have in common?” Want a hint? Its Profit. Corporate profit. If you vaccinate your children, and it works, then they surely must be safe from those who are not vaccinated. Unless, of course, the vaccination did not work. So what moral justification does one woman have over the other? Both are loving and caring, responsible parents, who want to do what is right. If there are no guarantees, why then is the argument so cut and dry? Read the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). And how it deals with something they term “Quarantine.” Any resistance, as they can proclaim martial law, is futile, with unconstitutional draconian enforcement backed by the military. Yes, we trust them. We trust everything that is said on the black box too. They have never lied to us! Out of manufactured fear, one woman would destroy another woman for taking a stand on this issue, for the love she holds for her kids.
Note: I know a woman in Crowley, LA, who has been raising a child who was normal the same day it was inoculated, over forty years ago. “While we were driving home, I saw the change in her. I saw her alert, with sparkling eyes who saw me and reacted to me, and I watched them turn dull and without light before we got home. She didn’t die that day, only her future did, because she is still four years old. There is no way anyone can tell me that shot had nothing to do with it. It can’t be proved, so they told me, but I live with it every day, and I know damned well the shot did it.” This year she will be 48. She still plays with the same teddy bear, has never learned to read, and is barley potty trained. She can not be trusted alone, and has to be monitored from the time she wakes up till she is bathed and put to sleep. She is diagnosed with having autism, and no one can explain how or why. Don’t we have an obligation to ask these questions? Any loving and responsible parent would.
It is said that we will be required to have the Covid Vaccine. That we will be required to have a certificate to travel by plane, to attend school, to eat in a restaurant, to go to a ball game, to get married, by penalty of law.

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for more 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 cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources 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 war to regain our ability to self 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.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-18--Lockdowns Push Greece Towards Another Financial Crisis [VIDEO]

Listen to the Audio Mises Wire version of this article .
The Greek economy shrunk by a record 14 percent in the second quarter of 2020 while at the same time government efforts to ‘ ’ cure ’ ’ the economy have set the country on the road to cross the 200 percent debt-to-GDP ratio as the IMF forecasts .
In the meantime , government budget deficits have reached new heights ( around 7 percent ) .
The Government ’ s Response to the Recession The Greek government tried to combat the economic downturn with a loose fiscal and monetary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
The initial aim was to support pretty much everyone from the public and private sector for the bad months of the covid-19 lockdown and hope for economic recovery when the summer arrived , with the tourist industry saving the day .
It soon became evident , however , that this was wishful thinking .
People from the tourist industry admitted that it could take years for the industry to recover its past numbers .
The situation looked even worse once people realized how dependent the whole economy is on tourism : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and provides 22 percent of all employment in Greece .
Furthermore , the Greek government ’ s solutions , like those of most of the other governments in Europe , were primarily demand-side policies .
As I predicted in one of my past articles , these measures could only provide short-run relief , only postponing the pain until later .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( OECD ) has estimated that the unemployment rate will reach roughly 20 percent by the end of the year .

The ECB ’ s balance sheet had a massive increase from 39 percent of the GDP to 54 percent during the summer .
In comparison the Fed ’ s balance sheet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The injections of liquidity via the ECB have effectively zombified a considerable number of companies in the EU , with corporate debts reaching new highs .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ failing to address the biggest problem in the economy , which is its inflexible labor laws .
Rather than partially liberalizing the laws , the state made them even more restrictive and inflexible .
For this reason , businessmen have failed to adjust to the corona crisis shock .

While the spending didn ’ t manage to stimulate the economy , we can ’ t say that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least , since it was mostly financed by the European Union .
On the other hand , cheap credit and loans were made possible by the ECB and by putting political pressure on banks , thus prolonging another major structural problem of the overall economy : lack of savings and more debt .
The budget deficits are also a matter that needs to be addressed , since it has reached new highs , making the 2010s a lost decade for the whole economy , since the whole point of ‘ ’ European @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debt more sustainable .
As the Greek minister of finance admitted the tax cuts that were made during the last few months won ’ t be permanent , since the new target is for Greece to have the biggest fall in debt-to-GDP in the eurozone .

On the surface , budget surpluses are a good thing and much needed , but it is important to ask these surpluses will become a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t be permanent , so it seems that Greeks will soon be undertaking the same failed strategy that they tried for a decade and was promoted by European officials in Brussels—high tax rates to increase government revenues but very minimal cuts in public expenditures .

In the meantime, government budget deficits have reached new heights (around 7 percent).
The Government’s Response to the Recession
The Greek government tried to combat the economic downturn with a loose fiscal and monetary policy (through the European Central Bank). The initial aim was to support pretty much everyone from the public and private sector for the bad months of the covid-19 lockdown and hope for economic recovery when the summer arrived, with the tourist industry saving the day. It soon became evident, however, that this was wishful thinking. People from the tourist industry admitted that it could take years for the industry to recover its past numbers. The situation looked even worse once people realized how dependent the whole economy is on tourism: it accounts for 20 percent of GDP and provides 22 percent of all employment in Greece. Furthermore, the Greek government’s solutions, like those of most of the other governments in Europe, were primarily demand-side policies.
As I predicted in one of my past articles, these measures could only provide short-run relief, only postponing the pain until later. The unemployment rate saw a 1.2 percent increase from March to April, of 1.3 percent from April to May, and it saw a minor decrease during the summer tourist period. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has estimated that the unemployment rate will reach roughly 20 percent by the end of the year.

What Went Wrong?
The ECB’s balance sheet had a massive increase from 39 percent of the GDP to 54 percent during the summer. In comparison the Fed’s balance sheet is around 32 percent of GDP. The injections of liquidity via the ECB have effectively zombified a considerable number of companies in the EU, with corporate debts reaching new highs. In the case of Greece, the government has exploited its new, EU-sanctioned fiscal leeway, which has allowed it to perpetuate structural problems in its economy along with large deficits.

Government intervention made things even worse by failing to address the biggest problem in the economy, which is its inflexible labor laws. Rather than partially liberalizing the laws, the state made them even more restrictive and inflexible. For this reason, businessmen have failed to adjust to the corona crisis shock. Making hiring more expensive and riskier is a recipe for disaster, especially in a fragile economy that lacks savings and investments like Greece. While the spending didn’t manage to stimulate the economy, we can’t say that it had an immediate negative effect short term at least, since it was mostly financed by the European Union. On the other hand, cheap credit and loans were made possible by the ECB and by putting political pressure on banks, thus prolonging another major structural problem of the overall economy: lack of savings and more debt. The budget deficits are also a matter that needs to be addressed, since it has reached new highs, making the 2010s a lost decade for the whole economy, since the whole point of ‘’European austerity’’ was to make the debt more sustainable.
Source: Trading Economics
As the Greek minister of finance admitted the tax cuts that were made during the last few months won’t be permanent, since the new target is for Greece to have the biggest fall in debt-to-GDP in the eurozone. The state secretary of finance also talked recently about a possible new austerity program similar to that of the previous decade. On the surface, budget surpluses are a good thing and much needed, but it is important to ask these surpluses will become a reality. The tax cuts won’t be permanent, so it seems that Greeks will soon be undertaking the same failed strategy that they tried for a decade and was promoted by European officials in Brussels—high tax rates to increase government revenues but very minimal cuts in public expenditures. But the problem wasn’t the tax cuts but government spending and deficits. Deficits have a greater crowding-out effect on the private sector than just spending. At the end of the day, these deficits will have to be paid by future generations. Potential tax increases in the future would be an even bigger disaster for the private sector. The cure is worse than the disease.
The center-right government that came into power in July of 2019 has failed to liberalize the economy and make market-oriented reforms, and the pandemic has made things even worse. It hasn’t made any major tax cuts that would be permanent and could have a big impact on alleviating some of the pressure on the private sector. Deregulation was also a major issue: the Greek economy was and still is in desperate need of foreign investment; however, investment freedom hasn’t seen a significant increase, and major investments and infrastructure programs are way behind schedule. Bureaucratic obstacles extend even to the judiciary branch, making it inefficient and slow, with corruption widespread.


thelibertybeacon--2020-12-18--The COVID hoax state of play – a brief summary

London itself is now under attack from the UK government with the imposition of an economically devastating “ Tier 3 lockdown ” .
The excuse for the attack was given by the proven liar Matt Hancock , the Heath Secretary , who recently embarrassed himself and the government by the worst case of crocodile tears ever recorded on British TV , such is the extent to which he despises the nation ’ s citizens .
The excuse he cited for his move against the people of London was the “ rise in cases ” in the capital .
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and is now only bought by a handful of people who haven ’ t yet caught up with developments .
The “ rise in cases ” statistic is used to justify the lockdowns .
The lockdowns are inflicted upon the nation in an effort to erode resistance to the new experimental vaccines the masterminds behind the COVID hoax are very keen for you to submit to .
The aim is to create so much misery , inconvenience and ruin that you will accept the new vaccines without asking awkward questions such as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
” , “ Have you tested them properly ?
” and “ Will they actually do what you imply they will do ?
” .
The answer to each of those questions , by the way , is “ no ” .
Not that you will ever get a straight answer .
The “ rise in cases ” stat is a fraud in that it derives mainly from the PCR test .
The PCR test has been discredited over and over and over by innumerable expert sources and even the government ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not be used to detect an infectious virus ( top of page 6 of the report ) whilst innumerable other medical and scientific sources ( including it inventor ) declare it to be completely unreliable for diagnosing COVID “ cases ” .
Yet in full knowledge of these facts , Hancock , Johnson and the criminal clique now masterminding Suppression Central in Westminster persist in using it to “ diagnose ” cases .
This perpetuates one of the most cynical , calculated and destructive frauds ever perpetrated against the People .
Indeed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ irrefutable , one is somewhat staggered that they are still getting away with it and have not been , metaphorically speaking , strung up by an outraged citizenry .
Parliament and the judiciary have proven unwilling to end this fraud and , indeed , collaborated in it .
Hancock further indicated that these false infection stats and the unjustified yet immensely damaging lockdowns based on them will continue to be inflicted on you “ until a vaccine ” comes to your rescue .
The vaccines being touted remain a long way from being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unknown yet potentially considerable health risk that far outweighs the risks of COVID19 , which for the overwhelming majority is from slight to none .
Moreover , the testing that has been done has not shown the vaccines will actually render you immune to the bug .
That was not what was being tested for according to the BMJ and other sources .
Hancock loves to refer to COVID19 , disingenuously , as “ this deadly disease ” .
He just loves tossing that nasty little propaganda trigger-phrase in as it stimulates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything else issuing from the mouths of him and his henchmen , it does not bear close scrutiny .
The “ deadliness ” in this case applies to a specific , highly vulnerable and small sector of the populace most of whom are over 80 years old .

The use of misleading phrases like “ this deadly virus ” are typical of this dishonest , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ MRNA vaccine touted by Pfizer and favoured by the gov is particular cause for concern in that it is not a vaccine but a piece of new , untested genetic engineering technology that affects the organism on a cellular level .

Under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his ruling Fidesz party, the amendment was passed yesterday in the National Assembly with 134 MPs voting in favor, 45 voting against, and 5 abstaining. The text is an amendment to the Hungarian Fundamental Law, and greatly strengthens the protections afforded to families.
The newly amended text reads:
“Hungary protects the institution of marriage as the association between a man and a woman and the family as the basis for the survival of the nation. The foundation of the family is marriage and the parent-child relationship. The mother is a woman, the father is a man.”
Reports note that with the amendment, Hungary becomes the “first country in the European Union to define the concept of family at the constitutional level and to ensure the undisturbed development of children.”
Another passage included in the change is one which is to be inserted in the section on children, and stipulates the importance of Christianity in the child’s upbringing. The text reads:
“Every child has the right to such protection and care as is necessary for his or her physical, mental and moral development. Hungary protects the right of children to self-identity according to their sex at birth and provides an upbringing in accordance with the values based on Hungary’s constitutional identity and Christian culture.”
Explaining the reason behind the changes, the government mentioned that “new ideological processes in the West” necessitated the changes in order to “protect the child from possible ideological or biological interference.”
Regarding the new text, the legislator stated in the Justification of the bill, that:
The Fundamental Law of Hungary is a living framework that expresses the will of the nation, the form in which we want to live.

The legislator must therefore clearly set out the basic guarantees for the protection of children and the rights of future generations…
Adoption of children by same-sex couples ruled out
In addition to these constitutional changes, the Assembly also passed a bill which effectively excludes same-sex couples from adopting children.

The new bill comes in addition to a law passed in May of this year, by which birth, marriage and death certificates must give a person’s actual sex, or “birth sex,” instead of “gender identity.”

Hunter Biden, James Biden, Former Top DOJ Leaders and a China Billionaire Held a Last Minute Meeting in 2017 with New York Governor Cuomo – Why was That?
Occasion2B
Hunter and James Biden set up a last minute meeting with top former DOJ members, a Chinese billionaire and New York’s governor Cuomo in New York in 2017. Why did they do this and what was discussed?
The Bidens continued to work on deals and relationships they had cultivated since VP Joe Biden’s time in office even after President Trump’s Inauguration in 2017.
On March 29, 2017 a strategic partnership was announced between CFCE (the Chinese Company) and a company by the name of Cowen Group. China’s CFCE agreed to purchase 19.9% of Cowen Group and agreed to provide financing of $175 million. Hunter Biden had a close relationship with CFCE.
At about the same time, James Biden forwarded a letter to Governor Cuomo in New York via his Director of Scheduling, Annabel Walsh. The purpose of the memo was to set up a meeting in early April with Cuomo, a Chinese billionaire and therefore top China leader, former Deep State actors and the Bidens.
Included in the memo were the following:
James Biden – Former VP Joe Biden’s brother who sent the email
Governor Cuomo of New York – a close friend to the Bidens
Hunter Biden – son of VP Biden and known practicing drug addict
Ye Jianming – Chairman of CEFC
Zang Jianjun – Executive Director of the Board, CEFC
(t) member of the Royal Family of Luxembourg – not sure who this is
James Gilliar – Chairman, J2CR
Rob Walker – President , J2CR
CEFC was a large Chinese conglomerate as noted above in the strategic announcement.
According to its website, J2CR is:
a legal, strategic advisory, government affairs, and communications consulting firm focused on homeland security and transnational trade, offers high-level expertise in international business development, and government affairs strategies. J2cR, along with its partners, also provides clients with professional and hands-on public relations, lobbying, strategic consulting, crisis management, political intelligence and management and advocacy services. J2cR consists of top-level former U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice officials.
We don’t know all the members of J2CR but we know James Gilliar is :
A British-born 56-year-old [as of October 2020] businessman based in the Czech Republic. Set up jc2r, the company which is in the emails, in 2015. It is no longer active [in 2020]. Gilliar appears to breed race horses with his wife, Erika and appears to also be an adviser to a holding company run by the leader of Abu Dhabi’s son.
Rob Walker is a:
Bill Clinton administration official who is now co-founder of a technology-focused private equity firm, Pilot Growth. His wife Betsy Massey Walker was Jill Biden’s assistant when she was Second Lady.
Below is the memo requesting the meeting with Governor Cuomo:
We are not clear why J2CR was involved in this transaction, if not to give cover for the deal with CFCE and Cowen Group and guarantee approval of the agreement at the highest levels of government. This would be needed since China was involved.
The announcement of the Cowen strategic partnership with CFCE was shared by James Gilliar, the President of J2CR, and Hunter Biden and his uncle Jim Biden and Tony Bobulinski who worked for the Biden’s at that time, in May 2017.
Later in July 2017, China’s Ye, the President of CFCE sent Hunter an email thanking Hunter for his work in Oman and Romania:
CEFC went bankrupt in March of 2020. We now know CFCE used a complex web of affiliated companies to facilitate fake deals, inflate trade figures and obtain bank loans to fuel its aggressive expansion. Recent reports show emails that tie Hunter Biden, Jim Biden and Joe Biden (the Big Guy) to payouts from CEFC before it went bankrupt.
CFCE Chairman Ye disappeared in 2018 and has not been seen since:
What was discussed in New York with these characters and Governor Cuomo? Was Cuomo given a piece of the pie as well? How many other events like this occurred in New York involving Cuomo?

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-18--Joe Biden Claims Accusations Against Hunter Are “Foul Play” [Video]

Post by Tyler Durden | Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times Joe Biden on Wednesday claimed accusations against his son , who is under investigation by federal authorities , are “ foul play.
” “ Look , I have , we have great confidence in our son .
I am not concerned about any accusations that have been made against him .
It ’ s used to get to me , ” Biden told late-night host Stephen Colbert , referring to his son , Hunter Biden .
“ I think it ’ s kind of foul play , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is .
He ’ s a grown man .

Joe Biden Claims Accusations Against Hunter Are “Foul Play”
Post by Tyler Durden | Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times
Joe Biden on Wednesday claimed accusations against his son, who is under investigation by federal authorities, are “foul play.”
“Look, I have, we have great confidence in our son. I am not concerned about any accusations that have been made against him. It’s used to get to me,” Biden told late-night host Stephen Colbert, referring to his son, Hunter Biden. “I think it’s kind of foul play, but look, it is what it is. He’s a grown man. He’s the smartest man I know, in terms of pure intellectual capacity. As long as he’s good, we’re good,” Biden added.
I know @StephenAtHome is an entertainer and not a journalist but this is still embarrassing. Rather than trying to break news about the FBI’s investigation into Hunter (which Biden himself is implicated in), Colbert asks him to go after Republicans making this an issue. pic.twitter.com/HjCEPOdap2 — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) December 18, 2020
Jason Miller, a senior adviser for President Donald Trump’s campaign, responded on social media, writing: “Spoken like somebody who was bought off himself!”
Biden said he could still work with people who promoted the accusations.
It got worse. Colbert follows up asking how he can work w/ Republicans if they’re making Hunter an issue.
Biden, in a rambling response, says if he were in high school he’d want to “go a round”

But he signaled he was frustrated about the situation, adding:
“It doesn’t mean I wasn’t angry and it doesn’t mean if I were back in the days of high school I wouldn’t say, ‘come here,’ and go a round.”
Hunter Biden last week said he’d just learned that he was being investigated for his “tax affairs” by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware. The office said it couldn’t comment on ongoing investigations.
Hunter Biden engaged in business deals in China, Ukraine, and elsewhere while his father was vice president.
Several of his one-time business partners have been convicted of participating in a fraudulent scheme.
Newly unearthed emails suggest Joe Biden was involved in his son’s business deals.

Senators investigating Hunter Biden said he was tied to foreign individuals who have ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
A Biden spokesman said in October that the former vice president “has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever.”
“He has never held stock in any such business arrangements nor has any family member or any other person ever held stock for him,” the spokesman said.
Tony Bobulinski, one of Hunter Biden’s former business partners, said in October that he discussed a deal with a Chinese energy conglomerate with Joe Biden.

Legislators said last week that Hunter Biden’s lawyer isn’t cooperating with them.
“It should be noted that, collectively, President Trump’s family and associates produced documents and agreed to appear at interviews with a number of congressional committees,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chairman, said in a statement. “It would be nice, and in the public’s interest, if the Biden family and their associates would be equally cooperative with the Senate, the American people we represent, and the mainstream media that has now joined our long interest in these crucial matters.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer hasn’t responded to requests for comment. He has not released any public statements since his client revealed the existence of the investigation.
Republicans are pushing for a special counsel to be appointed to take over the probe to insulate it from a potential Joe Biden administration.
“I am absolutely calling on the special counsel to look at all things Hunter Biden to see if he presents a conflict with the Biden administration regarding his business dealings in Ukraine, which is overrun with Russian agents, and any activity he had with the Chinese government,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters in Washington on Wednesday.
