thelibertybeacon--2020-08-05--KEN’S CORNER: Facets Of Truth In A World Of Lies

KEN ’ S CORNER : Facets of Truth in a world of lies What can be more important to perceive and possess in this world , even when compared to the blessings of Love and Liberty , but the finding of Truth ?
No matter what road we take , our guiding light is our profound quest to find and realize Truth .
Without it , all meaning , all goals , all intellectual and spiritual pursuits would be futile , and of little value .
Most men have not picked up that quest as it is just too difficult @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coerced dominion of masterful men as their own reality .
Many philosophers through the eons have described this great loss of Liberty in many ways , but in essence it can be referred to as slavery of the spirit .
Machiavelli , in his book called “ The Prince , ” explains the concept of voluntary servitude .
It is a scientific method of instilling a reality in a person and society for complete dominance and control of mind and soul by any means necessary .
It is the use of hard won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good , bad , right and wrong are wielded any way necessary for their focused pursuits… indeed , the concept is evil incarnate , as it eliminates one of our greatest gifts , free will .
They would use a mother ’ s love for her child to sell a dangerous product , knowing the ingredients are harmful , and a man to give up his life to promote a concept called democracy , which has never existed since the dawn of men… all for war ’ s corporate profits .
They would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , destroy whole civilizations , poison the minds and spirit of innocence… anything at all , because their true god is a black bottom line… In a world created by them , a lawless and immoral world of lies , Liberty and Truth always remains but a dream .
Even the definition of True Love , a precious gift of selflessness , is redesigned as lust… And it is well known by them that the rewriting of history , with the distortion of Truth in the here and now , is what keeps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ powerful government , with limitless resources , bought and paid for with fiat currency printed out of thin air is hard to understand and resist , as it enslaves us in a debt that can never be paid… As they promote a common mindset of weakness and lack of value , they replace self-responsibility with dependence , increment by increment… Of all of the profound moments in our lives… the birth of a child , the death of a parent , the waste and horrors of war , even contemplating our place under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realization of life ’ s profound experiences come from our ability to see it truthfully .
What can be more horrible for humanity but to be slaves , of body , mind and spirit ?
Alfred Tennyson wrote , “ But what am I ?
An infant crying in the night ?
An infant crying for the light ?
And with no language but a cry !
” And what is Tennyson referring to here but the light of Truth ?
And when Henry David Thoreau wrote that “ Most men live their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their graves with the song still in them.
” Can we not contemplate the true reason ?
Was it the lack of truth , or the failing of the person to seek it ?
We are charged with responsibility from birth to death , as we are both intellectual and spiritual by nature .
The responsibility for finding it is entirely ours , and though truth can indeed be considered a survival technique , we put our complete trust in institutions and individuals they lobby into office , without the truth of what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are .
We trust without seeking Truth , and we do it over and over again .
Some say they are waiting for death to finally give them an ultimate realization of truth , while others depend on human interpretations to embrace as their own , like the footnotes in a bible or propaganda of a University English Professor .
They let the words of others flow from their mouths as original thoughts , and few understand that we alone are accountable for finding it… What value , what importance can be placed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ultimate axiom of every life ?
Truth is of singular and primary value , ultimate , definitive , and inspiring .
Without it we can never make a viable decision , and will be manipulated and coerced to the very last day .
Growth is not only adding to our intellect , but at time to rewrite over past understandings we now find bogus , draft upon draft , to the very core of our reality… And we must , at some point in our quest , admit that the Truth we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were young , is redesigned again and again with further life experience .
We grow to realize that many of the truths we held in our hearts and minds were wrought by worldly experiences only to that point .
Truth we once held in great value , might be seen and understood to be lacking validity , as we further develop and grow emotionally with new experiences .
The reason for this is simple , as in that particular instance , that very point in our lives , we had not yet found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epicenter of our minds and hearts to be realized , one of intellect and one of spirit , like two metaphorical lenses focusing on the future .
It is well- hidden under countless layers of man-made hyperbole , myopic and narrow justifications taught to have legitimacy , and it has caused much unhappiness , confusion , with spurious and convoluted realities in our mind ’ s eye .
Truth , at times , can not yet be realized or understood , hiding in what might be considered plain sight… It is no simple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and it takes effort… The ultimate truth in your life comes from your efforts , from the inside out , not the outside in .
Truth is well- hidden in the folds of what we perceive as reality , underneath the smoke and mirrors of our education and the curtains set before our eyes by many teachers .
Some tried to instill their thoughts into our psyche with Loving hearts , some out of ignorance , and some for selfishness , but all of it , to the very last , was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , opinions , belief systems , judgments , and to become a viable and valuable part of a particular society , or aspect , one way or the other… And yet , without truth , all of these words have little or no meaning , as extensions of these ideals are honor , justice , principle , moral code or compass , law and many more… all of whom could not manifest itself without Truth .
Truth is the last element to be found at the very core of who we are and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet few know of this most amazing concept , that finding Truth is our ultimate goal .
Let me restate that it is one of he greatest of all gifts , even surpassing Love and Liberty , is the gift of free will , intellect and consciousness , and is the only tool we have to find true Liberty and emancipation from the shackles that bind us to worldly powers .
Indeed , Truth is our guiding light .
There has to be something laudable , something worthy of our precious lives and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then ourselves , and this is the idea that there is indeed an ultimate truth , and this truth is ours to find .
Also called a universal truth , and it is a core element of each person ’ s soul , and it is so pure , so elemental , so fundamental , it can not be broken down , divided , or denied .
That is the primary goal of a singular life of value , and though some might call it the golden mean , purely mathematical , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ core essence of humanity in every aspect .
That is the manifest ( ultimate ) destiny of all men , whether they have come to realize it or not… and of all of the manufactured exaggerations designed to divide and separate us for power and control , this is the one singularity that is universal and uniting for all humanity… Truth .
With Truth , everything is possible , and any entity , corporation , or institution that intentionally hides it , distorts it , manipulates it for their own selfish designs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be abolished .
No enemy should be more revolted and feared , as denying Truth is the bane of all that is good on this green Earth .
When men seek truth above all , Liberty will be theirs .
It is our reason for being .
Trust no one with your life , and the direction of your immortal soul will belong to you alone , and so , take responsibility for your own life , and do your own homework .
Once you take up this standard , and pledge it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will set you free .
Ask a positive question of life , and you will get it in like kind… Author ’ s note : This following two paragraphs are taken from a book of my poems compiled in 1999 , not published .
It explains the metaphor comparison of a diamond to a human soul .
A diamond is so abundant and virtually worthless without the controlling hand of men , and our souls are worthless without truth to light its way .
“ Sometimes it is the most simple that seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men .
Our spiritual side is the most artful side , and filled with all of the wonder and speculation this life can offer .
Tempered by awesome and unknown powers , and from a source buried deep inside , it is carried by God ’ s likeness , a vessel called soul .
It was given to all men as a gift of hope , and though it is sometimes considered by philosophers to be the fundamental core of men , who can deny it is profoundly beautiful and precious… and yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for granted .
To attempt to understand , it seems we must hold the concept up to our mind ’ s eye , in metaphor .
As a lens , our soul is like an uncut diamond , pure , perfect , and unrealized .
Our reason for being , our purpose , our meaning of life , is to learn truth .
When we do so , even the smallest of instances , a facet is cleaved on the face of our soul , and the light of Truth illuminates and clarifies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experience is righteousness , then the facet is a clear window where the light of new profound questions and ideas take form .
You see , every question we ask of this life is answered in like kind , as the law of cause and effect , and what you sow so too will you reap .
This is the universal law of attraction , and an ultimate Truth .
If revenge , wrath , hatred , bitterness , anger or any form of negativity is the motivation for the questions you ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in like kind .
It will cloud your soul like the carbon inclusions found in an earthly diamond , and value will be diminished with its inability to absorb light .
.
And then , as this truth becomes realized , you will move in the world of men emphatically knowing that what you are is what you think you are , after all.
” 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made for us .


thelibertybeacon--2020-08-06--CDC Director Redfield: The letter that should have Destroyed his Career

CDC Director Robert Redfield : The letter that should have Destroyed his Career Long before Robert Redfield ascended to the CDC directorship , and also assumed a key post on the White House COVID Task Force , he was a US Army researcher working on an AIDS vaccine .
He ran into a great deal of trouble .
His career was almost derailed .
The Army finally saved him , through what some investigators assert was a complete whitewash .
On June 7th , 1994 , two doctors from Public Citizen , Peter Lu and the relentless consumer advocate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Congressman Henry Waxman ( pictured ) , chairman of the House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment .
If Waxman had followed up with decisive action , Redfield might have been finished for good in the field of public health .
Here are excerpts from the devastating letter : “ We are writing to request that your Subcommittee hold a hearing , as soon as possible , to investigate charges of grave impropriety committed by U.S. Department of Defense ’ AIDS researchers .
We have obtained Internal memoranda , not previously made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that allege a systematic pattern of data manipulation , inappropriate statistical analyses and misleading data presentation by Army researchers in an apparent attempt to promote the usefulness of the GP160 AIDS vaccine…The Phase I and Phase II studies in which this alleged misconduct occurred were conducted by researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research ( WRAIR ) , led by Lt. Col. Robert Redfield , M.D.
, Chief of the Department of Retroviral Research , and misleading results from these trials were reported in…the New England Journal of Medicine in June @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Human Retroviruses in June 1992 and the annual International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam in July 1992 .
In addition , overstated conclusions have been presented on two occasions at hearings before your Subcommittee .
“ Meeting on October 23 , 1992 to discuss the allegations by two Air Force research physicians ( see below ) of scientific misconduct by Dr. Redfield , a subcommittee of the Institutional Review Committee at the Wilford Hall U.S. Air Force Medical Center , San Antonio , Texas reached the following conclusion : “ The committee agreed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his credibility as a researcher and has the potential to negatively impact AIDS research funding for military institutions as a whole .

The memorandum decried ‘ The problem of misleading or , possibly , deceptive presentations by Dr. Redfleld , which overstate the GP160 [ vaccine ] Phase I data… ’ and recommended that the following action be taken : “ ( 1 ) publicly correct the record in a medium suitable for widespread dissemination to our civilian scientific colleagues ; “ ( 2 ) censure Dr. Redfield for potential scientific misconduct which should at least include temporarily suspending his involvement on the current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) initiate an investigation by a fully independent outside Investigative body…to evaluate the facts of the case and recommend appropriate actions .
“ Senior Department of Defense scientists have known of this misconduct since at least October 1992 , and Dr. Redfield has acknowledged that his analyses were faulty on at least three occasions to internal Department of Defense audiences ( the earliest admission was on August 28 , 1992 ) … ” This is a VERY damning letter .
Vaccine fraud .
But Redfield not only avoided professional devastation , he rose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CDC director .
At the CDC—let ’ s be frank—lying about vaccines in order to promote and sell them is job number one .
Redfield now also serves on the White House COVID Task Force , an organization dedicated to gaining rapid approval for a pandemic vaccine , come hell or high water .

CDC Director Robert Redfield: The letter that should have Destroyed his Career

He ran into a great deal of trouble. His career was almost derailed. The Army finally saved him, through what some investigators assert was a complete whitewash.
On June 7th, 1994, two doctors from Public Citizen, Peter Lu and the relentless consumer advocate, Sidney Wolfe, wrote a long letter to Congressman Henry Waxman (pictured), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment. If Waxman had followed up with decisive action, Redfield might have been finished for good in the field of public health. Here are excerpts from the devastating letter:
“We are writing to request that your Subcommittee hold a hearing, as soon as possible, to investigate charges of grave impropriety committed by U.S. Department of Defense’ AIDS researchers.

This is a VERY damning letter. Vaccine fraud.

Expressing Concerns to Moderna’s Principal Investigators
Letter by: Harold R. Gielow, LtCol USMC (Ret)
Recently, Harold R Gielow, LtCol USMC (Ret) sent an email to the principal investigators in Moderna’s mRNA 1273 phase 3, COVID-19 vaccine trial outlining his concerns. He has yet to receive a reply.
“The article “Analysis of Pre-existing IgG and IgM Antibodies against Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) in the General Population” notes that approximately 72% of the US population has preexisting anti-PEG antibodies. The reference further states, “…sensitive detection and precise quantitation of anti-PEG Ab levels in a clinical setting will be essential to ensuring the safe use of PEGylated drugs in all target patient populations going forward.”
As Moderna’s mRNA1273 candidate vaccine uses a pegylated LNP (lipid nanoparticle) vector , what procedures are included in the trial to mitigate this risk?”
Our country is spending billions to fast track and produce a vaccine that over 70% of the population has preexisting antibodies to – to the vaccine! This makes no sense. Additionally, the trial procedures I have read include no steps to mitigate this risk, either to the trial participants or the general public.
BioNTech/Pfizer’s vaccine variants also use a pegylated lipid nanoparticle vector.
… many with PEG hypersensitivity go undiagnosed, thus presenting an unreasonable hazard to administering these vaccines to a population, the vast majority of which is proven by science to have anti-PEG antibodies.
I have a severe anaphylactic response to polyethylene glycol. It was diagnosed by Johns Hopkins. I have had multiple ambulance rides and emergency room visits due to inadvertent ingestion/injection with medications containing polyethylene glycol. It is classified by FDA as biologically inert/inactive. It is anything but that. The incidences of hypersensitivity reactions to PEG are, understandably, increasing, although many with PEG hypersensitivity go undiagnosed, thus presenting an unreasonable hazard to administering these vaccines to a population, the vast majority of which is proven by science to have anti-PEG antibodies. The cited study used blood samples from 1990-1999. The study showed a steady and dramatic increase in anti-PEG antibodies over time.
PEG is ubiquitous in our environment. It is nearly impossible to avoid, more so as our government classifies it as biologically inactive.
I have communicated my concern to my congressman, my senator, FDA, NIH, the White House, a cousin in biomedical research, multiple scientific writers, and countless others. Perhaps with your background and profile, you can get attention on this issue. I frankly believe not mitigating this risk in a worldwide pandemic situation is gross negligence, Moderna’s scientists having contributed to scientific studies pointing out these issues with polyethylene glycol.”

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-06--Covid-19: 91,500 too many deaths in the US, current estimation – a staggering 72%

ANALYSIS : Hydroxychloroquine works , episode V : Germans say “ Wer heilt , hat Recht ” or “ He who heals is right ” .
The German Covid-19 healthcare strategy of freedom of prescription if applied in the US could have saved 91,500 American lives .
The nrCFR index ( * ) is a measure of the quality over time of the medical management and care of the Covid-19 pandemic in a population .
Our previous paper ( 2 ) studied the impact of the therapeutic strategies decided by the governments and the health authorities of the US and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic .
In the present paper , we will consider the USA and Germany .
Two countries , two radically different strategies Germany adopted a healthcare strategy based on complete freedom to prescribe for primary care physicians , right from the start rather than at the height of the epidemic as in Italy .
In particular the BfArM ( the FDA equivalent in Germany ) explains how to use hydroxychloroquine instead of discrediting and discouraging it .
Its Covid-19 health information sheet advises on the use of hydroxychloroquine by providing detailed information for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for patients is transcribed below : • Daily doses of 400-600 mg are mainly used .
• Doses of 5 mg / kg body weight and 6.5 mg / kg body weight , based on ideal weight in overweight patients have been used .
• The daily dose is usually divided into 1 to 2 doses .
For faster saturation , some treatment protocols call for higher doses on Day 1 .
• The duration of treatment for Covid-19 is reported differently and varies from 5 to 10 days In contrast , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for alleged reasons of toxicity , until very recently when the FDA chief opened a door by declaring this is to be decided between patient and doctor in an interview on NBC ’ s “ Today ” show .
What if the USA had adopted the same strategy as Germany ?
Some US readers have commented : “ Germans are not happy with the management of the crisis in their country ” ( 4 ) .
With only 9,000 fatalities what should we say ?
If the USA had adopted the same strategy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been avoided ?
9,000 fatalities is equivalent to 110 fatalities per million in Germany versus 480 per million in the US ( 5 ) .
We therefore applied the nrCFR ( healthcare success index ) curve for Germany to the resolved cases curve for the USA to estimate the number of fatalities that we could have observed in the USA .
The assumption here is that the USA government would have used the same health strategy as Germany , namely the freedom to prescribe .
This does not take into consideration other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ graph below speaks for itself .
The blue area represents the number of deaths in the US observed over the period from March 22nd to July 2nd .
The total number of deaths amounts to 126,799 according to official data released by Johns Hopkins University ( JHU ) .
The green area represents the simulation for the number of deaths in the United States of America if it had followed the same nrCFR curve as Germany ( 3 ) , only 35,312 !
The difference between the two areas represents the 91,487 American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if the US had had the same healthcare success as Germany .
This is our current estimate of the impact of the strategy : a staggering 72 % fewer deaths in the US if they had let primary care physicians free to prescribe .

ANALYSIS : Hydroxychloroquine works, episode V: Germans say “Wer heilt, hat Recht” or “He who heals is right”. The German Covid-19 healthcare strategy of freedom of prescription if applied in the US could have saved 91,500 American lives.
The nrCFR index (*) is a measure of the quality over time of the medical management and care of the Covid-19 pandemic in a population. Our previous paper (2) studied the impact of the therapeutic strategies decided by the governments and the health authorities of the US and Italy, at the height of the pandemic. In the present paper, we will consider the USA and Germany.
Two countries, two radically different strategies
Germany adopted a healthcare strategy based on complete freedom to prescribe for primary care physicians, right from the start rather than at the height of the epidemic as in Italy.
In particular the BfArM (the FDA equivalent in Germany) explains how to use hydroxychloroquine instead of discrediting and discouraging it.
Its Covid-19 health information sheet advises on the use of hydroxychloroquine by providing detailed information for primary care physicians. The recommended dosage for patients is transcribed below:
Daily doses of 400-600 mg are mainly used.
Doses of 5 mg / kg body weight and 6.5 mg / kg body weight, based on ideal weight in overweight patients have been used.
The daily dose is usually divided into 1 to 2 doses. For faster saturation, some treatment protocols call for higher doses on Day 1.
The duration of treatment for Covid-19 is reported differently and varies from 5 to 10 days
In contrast, the United States of America discouraged its use for alleged reasons of toxicity, until very recently when the FDA chief opened a door by declaring this is to be decided between patient and doctor in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show.
What if the USA had adopted the same strategy as Germany?
Some US readers have commented: “Germans are not happy with the management of the crisis in their country” (4). With only 9,000 fatalities what should we say? If the USA had adopted the same strategy as Germany, how many deaths could have been avoided? 9,000 fatalities is equivalent to 110 fatalities per million in Germany versus 480 per million in the US (5).
We therefore applied the nrCFR (healthcare success index) curve for Germany to the resolved cases curve for the USA to estimate the number of fatalities that we could have observed in the USA.
The assumption here is that the USA government would have used the same health strategy as Germany, namely the freedom to prescribe. This does not take into consideration other factors such as hospital saturation.
The graph below speaks for itself. The blue area represents the number of deaths in the US observed over the period from March 22nd to July 2nd. The total number of deaths amounts to 126,799 according to official data released by Johns Hopkins University (JHU). The green area represents the simulation for the number of deaths in the United States of America if it had followed the same nrCFR curve as Germany(3), only 35,312! The difference between the two areas represents the 91,487 American citizens whose lives could have been spared if the US had had the same healthcare success as Germany. This is our current estimate of the impact of the strategy: a staggering 72% fewer deaths in the US if they had let primary care physicians free to prescribe. It comes after our first estimation of 41.5% based on the Italian healthcare success (2).
A staggering difference
The difference between the two areas represents the number of Americans whose lives would have been saved if the USA had had the same success in healthcare as Germany. This second estimate of the impact of the strategy with 72% fewer deaths in the USA based on Germany’s nrCFR follows the 42% estimate made before (2) based on the Italian nrCFR.
The German strategy applied to the US would have saved an estimated 91,500 lives.
This number would be even higher if the index was corrected for the different age structures: 22% of people aged 60 and over in the USA compared to 28% in Germany (World Bank data for 2018).
The Hippocrates quote “He who heals is right” has not been forgotten in Germany: “Wer heilt, hat Recht”.

(*) Definition: nrCFR New Resolved Case Fatality Rate: a concrete and dynamic indicator of healthcare success. Developed by Michel Jullian, it is simply equal to the proportion of deaths among the cases resolved (recovered or dead) in the 7 days ending on day t:

(4) Other elements observed in Germany, not directly concerning care. Germany has adopted a simple strategy, rigorously applied with the trusted German rigor. As a shrewd scientist, Chancellor Merkel was the first to set an example by confining herself. Germany, practicing a more flexible lockdown (the Germans could get around by bicycle, for example), quickly emerged from the period of lockdown as soon as they considered that the peak of the pandemic had been crossed. Simultaneously accepting the risk of an upsurge in cases that could be managed because the hospital capacity was available. Despite this, some German doctors have organized and asked for a citizens’ commission of inquiry, as they are truly unhappy with the political and economic management of the crisis. All this whilst Germany shows one of the lowest fatality numbers over the period with only 9,154 deaths. The massive testing policy in Germany has helped to quickly isolate affected and at-risk patients, rapidly reducing the R (reproduction number) below 1.

News is just coming in that a survey of politicians, government ministers and civil servants has revealed that the vast majority of those working in government believe that most Brits were born yesterday and those who weren’t are mentally ill or at least can be considered as such. News is just coming in that a survey of politicians, government ministers and civil servants has revealed that the vast majority of those working in government believe that most Brits were born yesterday and those who weren’t are mentally ill or at least can be considered as such.
This belief is not as fanciful as it first appears because the government’s Ministry of Whoppers has produced statistics that clearly show in an unbiased and not at all fiddled way that the birth certificates of over three hundred million Britons show under the date of birth entry, the term “yesterday”.
This, it is now believed, explains the conviction widely held in the corridors of power that the public can be told anything, no matter how stupid and people will believe it if it is done with a straight face.
Recent claims as to the existence of an epidemic that would have brought the country to its knees had not the government acted swiftly to bring the country to its knees is a case in point.
These claims immediately prompted the birth of a Facebook group, “We weren’t born yesterday you twats” that accumulated 900,000 members in the ten minutes between its launch and subsequent shut down by FB’s Independent Thought Police.
Meanwhile, a video purporting to show several people being born throughout the past thirty years was deleted by You Tube on the grounds that several of the people shown being born were clearly babies and if they had been born years ago they would look a lot older than that.

Alex Berenson’s latest chapter in a series of books about Covid-19, the first of which was briefly censored by Amazon, questions both the media’s coverage of the pandemic and the effectiveness of lockdowns.
“I think it’s really important, at a time when 90 percent of media… is saying the same thing, with very little pushback or smart questioning, to get different perspectives,” Berenson told Fox News about the self-published ‘Unreported Truths about COVID-19 and Lockdowns: Part 2: Update and Examination of Lockdowns as a Strategy.’
“Even if you disagree with me completely, it’s always good to know what other people are thinking,” he added.
The first part in the reporter’s series of Covid-19 books was censored by Amazon for allegedly spreading misinformation about the pandemic. The e-commerce company refused to publish the work, which questioned the hysteria around coronavirus, but ultimately folded after many blasted the company, including SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who accused the company of being a “monopoly.”
The main theme of Berenson’s second book is questioning whether lockdown measures taken by various states in the US are a good strategy in battling the spread of a virus.
“Lockdowns really came out of nowhere. When you look at the history of lockdowns, they were rejected over and over again as a tool when we were considering what to do about flu epidemics, including flu epidemics that would have been much worse than what the coronavirus epidemic is,” Berenson says, adding that the acceptance of these measures is “completely unprecedented.” “Even during World War II, yes the US government took over large industries and quasi-nationalized production of essential commodities and stuff, there weren’t efforts to control people’s actions,” he said. “This really is unprecedented.”
The author (pictured), who has been dismissed by his ex-employer the New York Times as a Covid-19 “contrarian,” says he can’t “imagine” lockdowns continuing for much longer, or for there to be any national shutdowns as some Democrats have suggested, because it has become clear how “destructive” the measures really are to the economy, mental health, and children kept out of school.
Hospitalizations and death rates from the virus in states with strict lockdown mandates, like New York, compared to ones with more laidback measures, like Texas and Florida, also show that mass quarantine procedures do not make much of a difference.
“The death counts will still continue to rise, but they accomplished that without a major lockdown,” he said. “If you’re going to be someone in favor of lockdowns, you really have to grapple with that and explain to me … why it is that lockdowns work so well if places that didn’t lock down seem to have had a better outcome than people who locked down hard,” he added in a separate Fox interview.
Berenson has further highlighted through social media the successes in states like Florida that have not been given attention by the mainstream media, which have, meanwhile, thrown softball interviews to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose decision to force nursing homes to accept positive Covid-19 cases could have added 6,000 deaths to the state’s massive total, according to many experts.

While Berenson’s second coronavirus book was published by Amazon without being censored, the company did delay making a paperback copy available, citing “technical” issues. As of Wednesday, Berenson says the issue has been solved, though the reporter was understandably suspicious, considering his ordeal with his opinions being silenced by the company – which accounts for 50 percent of the print book business and 75 percent of ebook sales – the first time around.

Democrats planted false stories in effort to derail Biden investigations, Grassley says
“This is the behavior of cowards,” Grassley said in forceful speech to colleagues
By Susan Katz Keating
One of the longest serving members of Congress in a scathing speech on Wednesday accused Democrats of resorting to dirty tricks in order to derail investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukraine. “This is the behavior of cowards. And it has to stop,” Sen. Chuck Grassley declared.
Democrats have accused two leading senators of engaging in disinformation, while in truth the accusers are engaging in disinformation, said Grassley, R-Iowa, in his speech to lawmakers.
Citing investigations being led by himself and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Grassley highlighted important revelations, among them that parts of the infamous anti-Trump document, the Steele Dossier, were based on Russian disinformation.
The current investigations by Grassley and Johnson center on Hunter Biden’s position on the board of the Burisma company in Ukraine when his father, Joe Biden, was vice president.
Both Grassley and Johnson have come under fire from Congressional Democrats who have sought to discredit the investigation – thus prompting Grassley’s floor speech.
“In the last few weeks, Democrats have falsely accused me and Senator Johnson of receiving packets of information, including tapes, from a Ukrainian,” Grassley said. “That’s false reporting based on leaks from a letter written by Senator Schumer, Senator Warner, Speaker Pelosi, and Representative Schiff, which is itself based on cherry picked innuendo from classified documents.” In his forceful remarks, Grassley accused Democrats of acting in bad faith. “This nonsense of orchestrated leaks to plant stories falsely accusing me of dealing in disinformation based on actual disinformation that I wasn’t even privy to serves only the interest of our shared adversaries,” he said. “This is the behavior of cowards. And it has to stop.”
Elsewhere, he countered the Democrats’ claims.
“Let me be clear, my investigation with Senator Johnson is based on how the Obama administration formulated its Ukraine policy, which then Vice President Biden oversaw while his son was on the board of a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company that was under investigation,” Grassley said.
Summarizing the Russia collusion investigation that produced no evidence of collusion between Moscow and Donald Trump, Grassley took a swipe at the Democrats for not examining the roots of those charges.
“Maybe the Democrats don’t want to look under the hood of the fake Russia investigation because they’d be front and center,” Grassley said.
The pointed floor statement follows an Aug. 4 letter from Grassley and Johnson to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Intelligence Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.), and House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
“The fact that the press knew more about the content of the allegedly classified material than we did indicates that you are more interested in grabbing headlines and scoring political points than actually addressing and confronting the issue of foreign interference in our elections,” Grassley and Johnson wrote in their letter.
“We have neither sought out, relied upon, nor publicly released anything that could even remotely be considered disinformation,” the two wrote.
Grassley, 86, was first elected in 1980, and is serving his seventh term in the United States Senate.

Voting Fraud Is Real: The Electoral System Is Vulnerable
By: Philip Giraldi
The United States national election is now only three months away and it should be expected that the out-and-out lies emanating from both parties will increase geometrically as the polling date nears. One of the more interesting claims regarding the election itself is the White House assertion that large scale voting by mail will permit fraud, so much so that the result of the voting will be unreliable or challenged. To be sure, it is not as if voter fraud is unknown in the United States. The victory of John F. Kennedy 1960 presidential election has often been credited to all the graveyards in Mayor Richard Daley’s Chicago voting to swing Illinois into the Democratic camp.
The Democrats are insisting that voting by mail is perfectly safe and reliable, witness the use of absentee ballots for many years. The assertions by Democratic Party-affiliated voting officials in several states and also from friends on the federal level have been played in the media to confirm that fraud in elections has been insignificant recently. That may be true, up until now.
The Democrats, of course, have an agenda. For reasons that are not altogether clear, they believe that voting by mail would benefit them primarily, so they are pushing hard for their supporters to register in their respective states and cast their ballots at the local mail box. Nevertheless, there should be some skepticism whenever a major American political party wants something. In this case, the Democrats are likely assuming that people at lower income levels who will most likely vote for them cannot be bothered to register and vote if it requires actually going somewhere to do it. They have spoken of “expansion of voting,” presumably to their benefit. The mail is a much easier option.
A Fox News host has rejected the impelling logic behind the mail option, saying “Can’t we just have this one moment to vote for one candidate every four years, and show up and put a ballot in without licking an envelope or pressing on a stamp? If you can shop for food, if you can buy liquor, you can vote once every four years.”
The fundamental problem with the arguments coming from both sides is that there is no national system in the United States for registering and voting. Elections are run at state level and the individual states have their own procedures. The actual ballots also differ from voting district to voting district. To determine what safeguards are actually built into the system is difficult as how electoral offices actually function is considered sensitive information by many, precisely because it might reveal vulnerabilities in the process.
To determine how one might actually vote illegally, I reviewed the process required for registering and voting by mail in my own state of Virginia. In Virginia one can both register and vote without any human contact at all. The registration process can be accomplished by filling out an online form, which is linked here. Note particularly the following: the form requires one to check the box indicating U.S. citizenship. It then asks for name and address as well as social security number, date of birth and whether one has a criminal record or is otherwise disqualified to vote. You then have to sign and date the document and mail it off. Within ten days, you should receive a voter’s registration card for Virginia which you can present if you vote in person, though even that is not required.
But also note the following: no documents have to presented to support the application, which means that all the information can be false. You can even opt out of providing a social security number by indicating that you have never been issued one, even though the form indicates that you must have one to be registered, and you can also submit a temporary address by claiming you are “homeless.” Even date of birth information is useless as the form does not ask where you were born, which is how birth records are filed by state and local governments. Ultimately, it is only the social security number that validates the document and that is what also appears on the Voter’s ID Card, but even that can be false or completely fabricated, as many illegal immigrant workers in the U.S. have discovered.
In a state like Virginia, the actual mail-in ballot requires your signature and that of a witness, who can be anyone. That is also true in six other states. Thirty-one states only require your own signature while only three states require that the document be notarized, a good safeguard since it requires the voter to actually produce some documentation. Seven states require your additional signature on the ballot envelope and two states require that a photocopy of the voter ID accompany the ballot. In other words, the safeguards in the system vary from state to state but in most cases, fraud would be relatively easy.
And then there is the issue of how the election commissions in the states will be overwhelmed by tens of thousands of mail-in ballots that they might be receiving in November. That overload would minimize whatever manual checking of names, addresses and social security numbers might otherwise take place. Jim Bovard has speculated how “The American political system may be on the eve of its worst legitimacy crisis since the Civil War. Early warning signals indicate that many states could suffer catastrophic failures in counting votes in November… Because of the pandemic, many states are switching primarily to mail-in voting even though experiences with recent primaries were a disaster. In New York City, officials are still struggling to count mail-in ballots from the June primary. Up to 20% of ballots ‘were declared invalid before even being opened, based on mistakes with their exterior envelopes,’ the Washington Post noted, thanks largely to missing postmarks or signatures. In Wisconsin, more than 20,000 ‘primary ballots were thrown out because voters missed at least one line on the form, rendering them invalid.’ Some states are mailing ballots to all the names on the voting lists, providing thousands of dead people the chance to vote from the grave.”
