thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-12--Ten Times The World Health Organization Erred:  Why Is WHO Still Credible & Not Disbanded?

When medical professionals deal with the health of the public , the information relied upon has to be accurate , meet the standards of the scientific method , and meet the gold standard of the medical profession .
Those on the frontlines have relied on various agencies and associations to obtain their information , such as the Center for Disease Control ( CDC ) , the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , the National Institute of Health ( NIH ) , the American Medical Association ( AMA ) , and a host of others .
But , what happens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , committing serious errors that jeopardize the health and well-being of the public ?
The public gets half-hearted apologies .
GreatGameIndia.org documents ten times the World Health Organization ( WHO ) has errored bringing into question the legitimacy of the United Nations ’ health organization to be a source for medical professionals around the world .
The World Health Organization ( WHO ) is a primary agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health .
However , in recent times , the WHO has been criticized for either acting too late @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There have been instances where WHO was caught grossly unprepared with its course of action .
Other times , the scientists and researchers at WHO have made laughable errors while preparing reports .
This begs the question : Why WHO makes so many mistakes ?
Is it deliberate ?
Or is there some other reason behind WHO ’ s never ending list of errors ?
Working backwards , beginning with the CON-VID-19 scam-demic , here are WHO ’ s top ten blunders .
In the WHO ’ s earlier reports , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ moderate ” of turning into a global risk .
But , WHO later emerged to declare this assessment was in error .
“ In its report a few days later , WHO said the risk was ‘ very high in China , high at the regional level and high at the global level.
’ They also admitted that the earlier reports had incorrectly mentioned that the global risk was moderate.
” When confronted about its mistake , co-director of the Swiss School of Public Health , Antione Flahault said , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s definitely a sizeable one… but I really think it ’ s a mistake that has now been corrected.
” This was reported in April of 2020 .
Since then , new information has proven the risk was not high for a pandemic .
In fact , one month earlier , Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Robert Redfield co-authored an article in The New England Journal of Medicine declaring CONV-VID-19 to have an infection fatality rate of 0.1 % or similar to that of seasonal flu .
More recently , the CDC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by age group , indicating the survival rates by age group .
This new data indicates the WHO has been in error since the beginning , suggesting its actions were motivated not by factual scientific evidence , but political agendas .
Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus , director general of WHO , stated , “ In particular , the Covid-19 pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change .
The Covid-19 pandemic has given us a glimpse of our world as it could be : cleaner skies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the WHO chief following his controversial allegations against the country where he accused the island nation and its people of racial abuse .
In a press conference , WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made serious allegations against Taiwan .
The WHO chief said that he has been a target of racial insults for the past three months , which he alleged originated from the island of Taiwan .
WHO has been criticized for its handling of the corona pandemic including its treatment of Taiwan .
The UN agency – due to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sovereignty of Taiwan .
The island nation is still considered a territory of mainland China .
The exclusion means Taiwan is kept out of the loop and is unable to share and receive crucial data related to the coronavirus pandemic .
When RTHK journalist – in a video call – questioned WHO advisor Bruce Aylward about Taiwan , the top WHO doctor was lost for words , and abruptly ended the call .
It ’ s painfully obvious the WHO is motivated by politics and caves to pressure from the Chinese Communist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must be asked – why is an agency whose main concern “ health ” getting involved in geopolitics and the ruse of climate change ?
Since the majority of the WHO ’ s funding comes from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation , it ’ s no surprise the UN agency would want to dip their toes in the deep end of the pool .
It ’ s a total political statement by the WHO to deny the sovereignty of Taiwan because of CCP pressure .
One then has to ask – why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the WHO ?
During this scam-demic , the UN organization classified India as being at a stage of community transmission when in fact , India was having cluster cases , not community transmission .
The WHO did not make the correction or admit its own blunder until it was forced to clarify to an Indian News channel .
India ’ s joint secretary of Health Ministry , Lav Aggrawal , stated , “ If it happens , we will be the first to tell you .
We will tell people to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The government of India had been firm in its denial of reaching stage three or community transmission .
Our World in Data – an online publication based at the University of Oxford – has stopped using Word Health Organization data related to coronavirus for its research .
The publication announced that they no longer base their models on the WHO data citing errors and other issues .
Instead , the researchers are using data provided by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control .
The errors and inaccuracies , which Our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report , showed various discrepancies in the situation reports released by WHO between February 5 to March 16 .
The WHO has become an organization that can not be trusted to provide reliable information .
When governments , scientists , doctors , and researchers rely on this information for treating individuals and policy decision-making , the WHO has a responsibility and duty to make sure the information is accurate , reliable and up-to-date .
To clarify , no government should use any information from and world or state organization to eradicate liberties and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the information to limit travel to affected areas , close borders to immigrations in order to prevent disease spread , and establish temporary policies to admit immigrants who experience a dire situation .
Never should the information be used as a mechanism to obtain increased power or control over the people .
A senior Finnish Health Official claims the protocol of the WHO ’ s coronavirus testing is illogical and doesn ’ t work , dismissing an advisory issued by the WHO saying the organization does not understand pandemics .
WHO recommended testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in its advisory .
The Finnish health official argued this “ protocol ” was illogical when combating a pandemic .
Mika Salminen , Finland ’ s head of health security , stated , “ We don ’ t understand the WHO ’ s instructions for testing .
We can ’ t fully remove the disease from the world anymore .
If someone claims that , they don ’ t understand pandemics.
” Salminen took issue with the idea that testing on a mass scale would stop the spread of COVID-19 .
So , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still listening to the UN ’ s WHO ?
In fact , its secretary general is not even a medical doctor .
Yet , actual medical doctors with extensive experience with infectious diseases and those who study pandemics have been censored , fired and had punishments exacted against them for attempting to relay factual scientific-based information to the public .
The WHO has committed a serious offense against the people of every nation on the globe that would have any other entity or person hung out to dry , charged with an international @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declared UK ’ s Port Talbot , located in South Wales , as the most polluted city in the UK .
The assessment turned out to be false and was based upon an “ oversight ” in data .
Dr. Maria Neria , director general for WHO at the time , only admitted the error when challenged by the Neath Port Talbot council , calling it “ erroneous ” .
How did that occur ?
The WHO database showed that the south Wales town had a fine pollution level of 18 micrograms of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ air .
In comparison , London had 14 micrograms while Manchester had 13 – all above the national guidelines of 10 micrograms .
The then WHO director Dr. Maria Neria later described the figures as “ erroneous ” and said that the air pollution level for Port Talbot was instead measured at 9.68 micrograms and not 18 as earlier suggested .
She said : “ The PM2.5 level for the year 2015 for Port Talbot should be 9.6853 ( and is rounded to 10 in the updated excel sheet ) and is noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was erroneously featured as a converted ( estimated ) value of 18 .
The World Health Organisation has taken immediate steps to rectify this on its WHO web site , and in the database .
We regret that this error happened.
” Either WHO employees have a severe trouble with mathematics , or the entire organization is sloppy and careless in its endeavors when data gathering and compiling .
Based on what has been presented so far , it would be the latter .
But , could this be called sloppy and careless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of these instances one might think an agenda was involved ?
As indicated by GreatGameIndia , “ In 2017 , the WHO compiled the first-ever global priority list for antibiotic-resistant bacteria .
It included 12 families of bacteria that WHO considers ‘ greatest threat to human health ’ and for which there is an urgent need for new antibiotics.
” Conspicuously missing from the list was the bacteria that causes Tuberculosis , considering TB causes more deaths than any other infectious disease .
In 2015 , the WHO estimated approximately 10 million people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has evolved to become more and more resistant to modern medicinal therapies .
It was a move that surprised experts .
Of course , WHO had a defense – it was already a globally established priority for which new treatments are urgently needed .
The question remained , “ If it is already a globally established priority , then why not include it on the list ?
” This is not forgetfulness or an oversight – it ’ s negligence and incompetence from an organization many , if not all , medical professionals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as has been seen by the WHO could have devastating consequences for the world ’ s population .
Tony Nash a former employee at The Economist and IHS Markit , who worked on a Cambodian project for the WHO has come out with a startling disclosure of how the WHO proliferated a more expensive and harmful approach to HIV treatment in Cambodia instead of the more cheaper Cambodian government method .
interviews , we found that the Cambodian government continuum was both more effective and cheaper than the WHO method .
The full @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The results were dismissed and the report was buried .
In effect , the WHO showed it would rather proliferate When I was with a previous employer , the WHO asked us to do a report comparing the efficacy of mother-to-child transmitted HIV treatment continua in Cambodia .
We were asked to compare the WHO continuum to the Cambodian government continuum .
After hundreds of interviews , we found that the Cambodian government continuum was both more effective and cheaper than the WHO method .
The full report was turned over to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the report was buried .
In effect , the WHO showed it would rather proliferate a more expensive approach with worse health outcomes than the Cambodian government ’ s home-grown treatment .
I ’ ve ignored this for a decade , but given the news out today , I have to disclose it .
I fully support the withdrawal of funding from the WHO .
In other words , the WHO is cooperating with a globalist eugenics movement .
What else could explain this behavior by the organization ?
In 2009 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic , causing a surge in vaccine orders .
Rich and affluent nations rushed to purchase millions of doses of a vaccine .
However , deaths from swine flu occurred mostly in Africa and Southeast Asia , not Europe .
According to GreatGameIndia.org , “ In this controversial book , renowned author Stuart Blume discloses that many of the most influential advisers , at both World Health Organisation ( WHO ) and national levels , are paid consultants to the vaccine industry raising a very serious question – that the WHO might be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interests and not the people – the reason why 10 years ago WHO faked a pandemic.
” With all of these serious “ blunders ” , which are more by design than unintentional , the question emerges , “ Should the WHO be dismantled ?
” At this point , one could say yes it should since these errors and intentional actions threaten the lives of all people around the world .
GreatGameIndia.org called what the WHO has done as “ gambling-approach to world health crises.
” Moreover , with the WHO being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vaccine industry lobby , their recommendations and reports are suspect .
Are these reports skewed toward vaccine promotion or are the reports genuinely concerned with the world population ’ s health ?
This has prompted experts to call for the dismantling of the organization .
Considering the medical profession relies heavily on the information provided by the WHO , wrongly , of course , the intentional and deliberate “ misstatements ” can have long lasting repercussions .
Instead of contemplating what scientists and doctors challenging the WHO ’ s information have discovered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individuals are scoffed at , maligned , and discredited , along with punished , for daring to contradict the “ anointed ” WHO .
As it turns out , the medical profession has been upholding and defending the WHO , which engages in “ fake ” information to enrich an industry or many industries .
It ’ s time for a reconsideration on this agency being the “ end all to end all ” for the medical professionals regarding health expertise and recommendations .
If nothing else , this information is enough to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the WHO ’ s recommendations and guidelines and challenge their blind devotion to an organization that clearly has been bought and paid for by the vaccine lobby and private individuals who are globalists and eugenicists .
Unfortunately , government entities such as the CDC and the NIH will still bend a knee to the WHO ; however , individual medical professionals have great influence when banding together .
By rejecting the WHO ’ s influence based upon its numerous egregious errors , the medical professionals as a collective can push this tainted agency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why are you continuing to trust the WHO ?
Why are you continuing to trust the CDC and NIH , organizations that clearly follow the global agency ’ s example ?
It ’ s time to stop your blind devotion to an organization who does not have at its heart a concern for the health of the world ’ s population .
But , don ’ t take my word for it .
Do the research .
Listen to your colleagues who are exposing the nefarious deeds of this organization .
And , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your patients who are aware of all this information instead of adopting a condescending attitude towards them , implying you know more than them .
It ’ s quite obvious they are doing their homework ; why aren ’ t you ?

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a primary agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health.

There have been instances where WHO was caught grossly unprepared with its course of action. Other times, the scientists and researchers at WHO have made laughable errors while preparing reports. This begs the question: Why WHO makes so many mistakes? Is it deliberate? Or is there some other reason behind WHO’s never ending list of errors?
Working backwards, beginning with the CON-VID-19 scam-demic, here are WHO’s top ten blunders.
“WHO Blunders in Coronavirus Risk Assessment”
In the WHO’s earlier reports, this coronavirus was assessed as a risk level of “moderate” of turning into a global risk. But, WHO later emerged to declare this assessment was in error.
“In its report a few days later, WHO said the risk was ‘very high in China, high at the regional level and high at the global level.’ They also admitted that the earlier reports had incorrectly mentioned that the global risk was moderate.”

More recently, the CDC issued new statistics showing the survival rates by age group, indicating the survival rates by age group. This new data indicates the WHO has been in error since the beginning, suggesting its actions were motivated not by factual scientific evidence, but political agendas.
Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, director general of WHO, stated, “In particular, the Covid-19 pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change. The Covid-19 pandemic has given us a glimpse of our world as it could be: cleaner skies and rivers.”
“Taiwan demands apology from WHO chief”
GreatGameIndia.org explains:
Taiwan demanded an apology from the WHO chief following his controversial allegations against the country where he accused the island nation and its people of racial abuse.
In a press conference, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made serious allegations against Taiwan. The WHO chief said that he has been a target of racial insults for the past three months, which he alleged originated from the island of Taiwan.
WHO has been criticized for its handling of the corona pandemic including its treatment of Taiwan. The UN agency – due to the pressure from China – does not recognize the sovereignty of Taiwan. The island nation is still considered a territory of mainland China. The exclusion means Taiwan is kept out of the loop and is unable to share and receive crucial data related to the coronavirus pandemic.
When RTHK journalist – in a video call – questioned WHO advisor Bruce Aylward about Taiwan, the top WHO doctor was lost for words, and abruptly ended the call.
It’s painfully obvious the WHO is motivated by politics and caves to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The question must be asked – why is an agency whose main concern “health” getting involved in geopolitics and the ruse of climate change? Since the majority of the WHO’s funding comes from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, it’s no surprise the UN agency would want to dip their toes in the deep end of the pool. It’s a total political statement by the WHO to deny the sovereignty of Taiwan because of CCP pressure. One then has to ask – why does the CCP have so much influence over the WHO?
“WHO Admits Making False Report on India”
During this scam-demic, the UN organization classified India as being at a stage of community transmission when in fact, India was having cluster cases, not community transmission. The WHO did not make the correction or admit its own blunder until it was forced to clarify to an Indian News channel. India’s joint secretary of Health Ministry, Lav Aggrawal, stated, “If it happens, we will be the first to tell you. We will tell people to be especially alert… There is no community transmission.” The government of India had been firm in its denial of reaching stage three or community transmission.
“Oxford-based Publication stops using WHO’s Coronavirus data, citing errors”
GreatGameIndia.org reported:
Our World in Data – an online publication based at the University of Oxford – has stopped using Word Health Organization data related to coronavirus for its research. The publication announced that they no longer base their models on the WHO data citing errors and other issues.
Instead, the researchers are using data provided by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. The errors and inaccuracies, which Our World in Data documented in a separate report, showed various discrepancies in the situation reports released by WHO between February 5 to March 16.
The WHO has become an organization that cannot be trusted to provide reliable information. When governments, scientists, doctors, and researchers rely on this information for treating individuals and policy decision-making, the WHO has a responsibility and duty to make sure the information is accurate, reliable and up-to-date. To clarify, no government should use any information from and world or state organization to eradicate liberties and freedoms. However, governments could use the information to limit travel to affected areas, close borders to immigrations in order to prevent disease spread, and establish temporary policies to admit immigrants who experience a dire situation. Never should the information be used as a mechanism to obtain increased power or control over the people.
“Finland Says WHO’s Coronavirus Protocol Doesn’t Work”
A senior Finnish Health Official claims the protocol of the WHO’s coronavirus testing is illogical and doesn’t work, dismissing an advisory issued by the WHO saying the organization does not understand pandemics. WHO recommended testing as many people as possible for coronavirus in its advisory. The Finnish health official argued this “protocol” was illogical when combating a pandemic.
Mika Salminen, Finland’s head of health security, stated, “We don’t understand the WHO’s instructions for testing. We can’t fully remove the disease from the world anymore. If someone claims that, they don’t understand pandemics.” Salminen took issue with the idea that testing on a mass scale would stop the spread of COVID-19.
So, why is anyone in the united States still listening to the UN’s WHO? In fact, its secretary general is not even a medical doctor. Yet, actual medical doctors with extensive experience with infectious diseases and those who study pandemics have been censored, fired and had punishments exacted against them for attempting to relay factual scientific-based information to the public. The WHO has committed a serious offense against the people of every nation on the globe that would have any other entity or person hung out to dry, charged with an international crime.
“WHO Apologizes to UK’s Port Talbot”
In 2018, the WHO declared UK’s Port Talbot, located in South Wales, as the most polluted city in the UK. The assessment turned out to be false and was based upon an “oversight” in data. Dr. Maria Neria, director general for WHO at the time, only admitted the error when challenged by the Neath Port Talbot council, calling it “erroneous”. How did that occur?
GreatGameIndia.org reported:
The WHO database showed that the south Wales town had a fine pollution level of 18 micrograms of M2.5 pollution particles per cubic metre of air. In comparison, London had 14 micrograms while Manchester had 13 – all above the national guidelines of 10 micrograms.
The then WHO director Dr. Maria Neria later described the figures as “erroneous” and said that the air pollution level for Port Talbot was instead measured at 9.68 micrograms and not 18 as earlier suggested.
She said: “The PM2.5 level for the year 2015 for Port Talbot should be 9.6853 (and is rounded to 10 in the updated excel sheet) and is noted as ‘measured’. The PM2.5 was erroneously featured as a converted (estimated) value of 18. The World Health Organisation has taken immediate steps to rectify this on its WHO web site, and in the database. We regret that this error happened.”
Either WHO employees have a severe trouble with mathematics, or the entire organization is sloppy and careless in its endeavors when data gathering and compiling. Based on what has been presented so far, it would be the latter. But, could this be called sloppy and careless or calculated and intentional because in each of these instances one might think an agenda was involved?
“WHO excludes Tuberculosis from Global Priority List”
As indicated by GreatGameIndia, “In 2017, the WHO compiled the first-ever global priority list for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It included 12 families of bacteria that WHO considers ‘greatest threat to human health’ and for which there is an urgent need for new antibiotics.” Conspicuously missing from the list was the bacteria that causes Tuberculosis, considering TB causes more deaths than any other infectious disease.

It was a move that surprised experts.
Of course, WHO had a defense – it was already a globally established priority for which new treatments are urgently needed. The question remained, “If it is already a globally established priority, then why not include it on the list?”
This is not forgetfulness or an oversight – it’s negligence and incompetence from an organization many, if not all, medical professionals look toward for guidance. Severe errors as has been seen by the WHO could have devastating consequences for the world’s population.
“Whistleblower exposes WHO operations in Cambodia”
Tony Nash a former employee at The Economist and IHS Markit, who worked on a Cambodian project for the WHO has come out with a startling disclosure of how the WHO proliferated a more expensive and harmful approach to HIV treatment in Cambodia instead of the more cheaper Cambodian government method.

When I was with a previous employer, the WHO asked us to do a report comparing the efficacy of mother-to-child transmitted HIV treatment continua in Cambodia. We were asked to compare the WHO continuum to the Cambodian government continuum.
After hundreds of interviews, we found that the Cambodian government continuum was both more effective and cheaper than the WHO method. The full report was turned over to the WHO. The results were dismissed and the report was buried.

“When WHO faked a pandemic”
In 2009, the WHO prematurely declared swine flu a pandemic, causing a surge in vaccine orders. Rich and affluent nations rushed to purchase millions of doses of a vaccine. However, deaths from swine flu occurred mostly in Africa and Southeast Asia, not Europe.
According to GreatGameIndia.org, “In this controversial book, renowned author Stuart Blume discloses that many of the most influential advisers, at both World Health Organisation (WHO) and national levels, are paid consultants to the vaccine industry raising a very serious question – that the WHO might be working for the vaccine industry’s interests and not the people – the reason why 10 years ago WHO faked a pandemic.”
With all of these serious “blunders”, which are more by design than unintentional, the question emerges, “Should the WHO be dismantled?” At this point, one could say yes it should since these errors and intentional actions threaten the lives of all people around the world.

By rejecting the WHO’s influence based upon its numerous egregious errors, the medical professionals as a collective can push this tainted agency into non-existence.
So, doctors, why are you continuing to trust the WHO? Why are you continuing to trust the CDC and NIH, organizations that clearly follow the global agency’s example? It’s time to stop your blind devotion to an organization who does not have at its heart a concern for the health of the world’s population. But, don’t take my word for it. Do the research.

Former CBS Healthwatch Reporter Reveals “Missing Study” In Coronavirus Narrative – Claims Secret Of Fraud Is In Plain Sight

Former CBS Healthwatch reporter and author of The Matrix Revealed Jon Rappoport recently revealed the study that should have been done to prove that the coronavirus that we are being propagandized with exists was never actually done .
In fact , Rappoport claims the SARS-Co-V2 is a fake and the secret is in plain sight .
NOTE : Readers have sent me electron microscope images of what are claimed to be “ isolated COVID virus.
” An image here , an image there—this is NOT the way science is done , as I will explain fully in this article .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ document that claims the COVID virus has been isolated .
However , that document is dated two months earlier than the CDC document that admits they do not have the virus .

Former CBS Healthwatch reporter and author of The Matrix Revealed Jon Rappoport recently revealed the study that should have been done to prove that the coronavirus that we are being propagandized with exists was never actually done. In fact, Rappoport claims the SARS-Co-V2 is a fake and the secret is in plain sight.
Rappoport writes:
NOTE: Readers have sent me electron microscope images of what are claimed to be “isolated COVID virus.” An image here, an image there—this is NOT the way science is done, as I will explain fully in this article.
I have also been sent a CDC document that claims the COVID virus has been isolated. However, that document is dated two months earlier than the CDC document that admits they do not have the virus. So it means nothing.
Last week, I wrote and published two articles exposing the root of the poisonous tree: the CDC admits it does not have an isolated COVID virus.
Therefore, SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic virus, has never been proved to exist.
This shattering fact reveals the whole pandemic is a fraud. The virus, the test, the case numbers—all fraud. And the lockdowns were unnecessary and criminal.
Now I want to reveal the study that should have been done, at the outset, when scientists were first claiming there was a pandemic based on the discovery of “a new virus.”
Here’s what you would do if you were an actual scientist: you would line up a minimum of 500 people who have been diagnosed with the epidemic illness. From each of them, you would extract tissue samples.
Then you would correctly and meticulously put each sample through a procedure that would result in 500 viewable electron microscope photographs—one from each patient. You would lay all these photos side by side.
You would answer three burning questions: do you see, in each and every photo, MANY particles of the same virus? Do you see, in all 500 photos, that same virus? Do you see, in all 500 photos, a virus you’ve never seen before?
If your answer to any of these questions is no, you go back to the drawing board. You haven’t found sufficient evidence of a new virus that is causing widespread illness.
If your answer is yes to every question, other researchers will then line up 500 new volunteers who have been diagnosed with the epidemic illness, and they will perform this same experiment, in order to confirm or deny the findings of the first team of scientists.

One critic, after reading my description of the proper way to do a study on the purported “new coronavirus,” said, “This wouldn’t work because it is extremely labor-intensive.” Well, guess what? The result of declaring a pandemic caused by a virus that isn’t there…and the ensuing lockdowns and economic and human destruction stemming from that declaration…is “labor-intensive” to a far greater degree.
Stopping the production engine of the world on the pretext of finding a new virus, when no new virus has been correctly found and isolated, is a crime that supersedes the sweat and effort of doing proper science.
As far as what is actually going on in labs where researchers are fiddling with genetic sequences of this and that and making vast proclamations; don’t talk to me about science. Talk to me about liability and prison.

Head medical tyrant Dr. Antony Fauci has already warned the U.S. to “hunker down” for the “darkest winter.” This isn’t even taking into account the election chaos and violence we’ve been promised already.
These upcoming months could get much more intense and chaotic quickly. Brace yourselves, and continue to prepare. This is not over yet. They will push this narrative for as long as it works, and it is working on many people right now.

The Department of Defense , which is helping to roll out a COVID-19 vaccine with plans to vaccinate the entire United States population by no later than 2021 , has declared the progress to be “ swift.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-12--Number Of Americans That Have Filed For Unemployment Benefits In 2020 Exceeds Number That Voted For

Number Of Americans That Have Filed For Unemployment Benefits In 2020 Exceeds Number That Voted For Trump In 2016 I am not trying to make a political statement with this article .
I am simply pointing out that the number of Americans that have filed initial claims for unemployment benefits in 2020 is almost unimaginable .
In 2016 , a total of 62,984,828 votes were cast for Donald Trump .
Here in 2020 , a total of 63,600,000 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits since the middle of March .
So the number of Americans that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now greater than the number of Trump voters in the last election .
Of course , if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016 , we would be saying the exact same thing about her in a couple of weeks .
Back in 2016 , she received a grand total of 65,853,514 votes .
The point is not to assign political blame to one side or the other , because neither side knew that COVID-19 was coming .
Rather , I am trying to get my readers to understand that we have witnessed a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is absolutely unprecedented .
And more layoff announcements keep rolling in with each passing day .
For instance , we just learned that ESPN will be laying off hundreds of workers… For many , working in sports television is a dream job , and it hurts me to think that many of those employees will soon lose jobs that they truly love .
Elsewhere , Amtrak has just announced that they could soon be eliminating 2,400 more jobs… I know that I am probably boring my readers by discussing layoff announcements day after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to make a very important point .
We are not in any sort of a “ recovery ” .
Instead , we have entered a horrifying economic downturn which isn ’ t going to end any time soon .
If they actually believed that it was going to end soon , all of these big corporations would not be laying off large numbers of workers .
And without jobs , a whole lot of people out there are deeply , deeply suffering .
Right now , millions upon millions of Americans haven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t been paying their mortgages , haven ’ t been making their vehicle payments and haven ’ t been making their credit card payments .
And I was absolutely stunned to learn that payments are being made on only 11 percent of federal student loans right now… Eventually , the federal government will be requiring everyone to start making their payments again , but for now , this break is helping a lot of people get through this very challenging time .
But when will this challenging time finally be over ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ having economic conditions return to “ normal ” , but the truth is that our entire system is in the process of melting down and things are never going to be as good as they once were .
For decades , we enjoyed an unprecedented bubble of debt-fueled prosperity that allowed us to have a massively inflated standard of living , but now that bubble is bursting .
But for the moment , there is still one bubble that has stubbornly refused to end .
Thanks to the Federal Reserve , stock prices @ @ @ @ @ @ @ midst of this economic depression , and this has made the gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us wider than ever before… Just think about that .

Number Of Americans That Have Filed For Unemployment Benefits In 2020 Exceeds Number That Voted For Trump In 2016
I am not trying to make a political statement with this article. I am simply pointing out that the number of Americans that have filed initial claims for unemployment benefits in 2020 is almost unimaginable. In 2016, a total of 62,984,828 votes were cast for Donald Trump. Here in 2020, a total of 63,600,000 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits since the middle of March. So the number of Americans that have filed for unemployment during this pandemic is now greater than the number of Trump voters in the last election. Of course, if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016, we would be saying the exact same thing about her in a couple of weeks. Back in 2016, she received a grand total of 65,853,514 votes. The point is not to assign political blame to one side or the other, because neither side knew that COVID-19 was coming. Rather, I am trying to get my readers to understand that we have witnessed a collapse in employment during this pandemic that is absolutely unprecedented.
And more layoff announcements keep rolling in with each passing day. For instance, we just learned that ESPN will be laying off hundreds of workers…
ESPN could lay off hundreds of employees in the coming weeks, sources told Front Office Sports. One source pegged the potential number of job losses between 300 and 700 employees. Another estimated 400 possible lost jobs. The cuts are expected to hit hardest among ESPN employees who work behind the camera.
For many, working in sports television is a dream job, and it hurts me to think that many of those employees will soon lose jobs that they truly love.
Elsewhere, Amtrak has just announced that they could soon be eliminating 2,400 more jobs…
Amtrak will need to cut 2,400 more jobs and could see “drastic impacts” on its rail service if Congress does not intervene and provide emergency funding for the passenger rail provider, the company announced Thursday. In a letter to lawmakers, Amtrak President and CEO William Flynn requested nearly $4.9 billion in fiscal year 2021 to help it close massive budget gaps it faces amid the pandemic.
I know that I am probably boring my readers by discussing layoff announcements day after day after day, but I am trying to make a very important point.
We are not in any sort of a “recovery”. Instead, we have entered a horrifying economic downturn which isn’t going to end any time soon.
If they actually believed that it was going to end soon, all of these big corporations would not be laying off large numbers of workers.
And without jobs, a whole lot of people out there are deeply, deeply suffering.
Right now, millions upon millions of Americans haven’t been paying rent, haven’t been paying their mortgages, haven’t been making their vehicle payments and haven’t been making their credit card payments.
And I was absolutely stunned to learn that payments are being made on only 11 percent of federal student loans right now…
Less than 11% of people with federal student loans are repaying them during the pandemic, according to data analyzed by higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. That means about 4.6 million out of 42 million borrowers are continuing to pay down their debt.
Eventually, the federal government will be requiring everyone to start making their payments again, but for now, this break is helping a lot of people get through this very challenging time.
But when will this challenging time finally be over?
After the election?
In 2021?
So many Americans are looking forward to having economic conditions return to “normal”, but the truth is that our entire system is in the process of melting down and things are never going to be as good as they once were.
For decades, we enjoyed an unprecedented bubble of debt-fueled prosperity that allowed us to have a massively inflated standard of living, but now that bubble is bursting.
But for the moment, there is still one bubble that has stubbornly refused to end. Thanks to the Federal Reserve, stock prices continue to go up even in the midst of this economic depression, and this has made the gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us wider than ever before…
The poorest 50 percent of Americans, or roughly 165 million people, collectively owned about $2.08 trillion in wealth in the second quarter of 2020, according to Federal Reserve data released last week. That’s less than the net worth of the nation’s 59 richest billionaires, who have a combined fortune of about $2.09 trillion, Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index shows — a number that’s grown this year despite the COVID-19 crisis kneecapping the global economy.
Just think about that.
59 Americans have as much wealth as the 165,000,000 poorest Americans combined.
And overall, billionaires around the world are now worth more than 10 trillion dollars…
Billionaire wealth reached record high levels amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a report by UBS and PwC found, as a rally in stock prices and gains in technology and healthcare helped the wealth of the world’s richest break the $10 trillion mark. The report, covering over 2,000 billionaires representing some 98% of the cohort’s total wealth, found billionaire wealth grew by more than a quarter during the early months of the pandemic to reach $10.2 trillion in July, breaking the previous record of $8.9 trillion at the end of 2019.
Meanwhile, Americans are lining up for miles to get handouts at food banks all over the nation, and it is being projected that more than 50 million Americans will soon not have enough food to eat on a regular basis.
But the mainstream media is going to continue to try to put a happy face on things. In fact, they are telling us that “stocks will probably rise no matter who wins the presidential election”, and that has to be music to the ears of most wealthy investors.
Of course, it is just a matter of time before a day of reckoning comes for those wealthy investors too.
I believe that the months ahead are going to represent a major turning point for our country. Millions of Americans will have their hopes brutally crushed by the outcome of this upcoming election, and millions of others will be plunged into despair as our nation continues to be rocked by one major crisis after another.
If your life is defined by the system that the elite have created, the times that are approaching are going to be exceedingly difficult for you because that system is failing.
But if you choose to live for the things that really matter, you won’t be overwhelmed no matter how bad things get.
And as bad as things are right now, the truth is that all of this is nothing compared to what is eventually coming.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-12--What Can We Do To Get A Reasonably Honest Election?

What Can We Do To Get A Reasonably Honest Election ?
A disaster of monumental proportions is likely to be ahead for our Country if we don ’ t take emergency action to get at least a reasonably honest election .
Not only the President ’ s seat , but also the entire US House , the Houses in the State Legislatures , one/third of the seats in the US Senate , and a proportional number of seats in the State Senates , are all at stake in the upcoming election .
We are faced with irrefutable proof that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And they will not content themselves with stealing only the President ’ s seat – they seek to steal every seat on the ballots .
So we need to face up to the problem and take immediate action .
1 .
What does Congress have constitutional authority to do ?
The President and Vice President are supposed to be elected using the procedures set forth in Article II , §1 , cl .
2 and the 12th Amendment to our US Constitution .
But we have ignored those provisions for a great many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late to obey them for the upcoming election of President and Vice President .
But Congress still has constitutional authority to invoke Article II , §1 , cl .
4 , which invests in Congress the power to determine the time of chusing the Presidential Electors and the Day on which they vote .
That date is currently set for November 3 , 2020 .
Pursuant to Article I , §4 , cl .
1 , Congress may make laws determining the “ Times , Places and Manner ” of holding the federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Trump ballots have been tossed into dumpsters , and election offices have been flooded with fake Biden ballots ; the best course of action would be for Congress to make a law which reschedules the November 3 election to a later date ; and cancels everything which has been done so far respecting the election ( at least since the primaries ) .
Congress could then exercise its constitutional authority to establish common sense procedures respecting the “ Time , Place and Manner ” of voting in the upcoming elections .
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ providing that : • None Every registered voter who wants to vote must physically appear at his officially designated place of voting and produce proof of identity .
• None Election Day should be one day – not weeks and months before & after the date set for the election .
• None Absentee voting should be restricted to those who are out of the Country or out of State due to military service , service in the diplomatic corps , missionaries stationed overseas , businessmen stationed overseas , etc .
We used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Marxists came in with their hard luck stories about how these requirements were harsh , unfair , discriminatory , and so forth ; and so our side [ as usual ] caved in and went along with the demands which stripped us of the ability to have even reasonably honest elections .
However , because Marxists now control the House , Congress lacks the ability to act as suggested above .
2 .
What does the US Supreme Court have constitutional authority to do ?

What Can We Do To Get A Reasonably Honest Election?
A disaster of monumental proportions is likely to be ahead for our Country if we don’t take emergency action to get at least a reasonably honest election. Not only the President’s seat, but also the entire US House, the Houses in the State Legislatures, one/third of the seats in the US Senate, and a proportional number of seats in the State Senates, are all at stake in the upcoming election.
We are faced with irrefutable proof that the Marxists intend to steal the election. And they will not content themselves with stealing only the President’s seat – they seek to steal every seat on the ballots.
So we need to face up to the problem and take immediate action.
1. What does Congress have constitutional authority to do?
The President and Vice President are supposed to be elected using the procedures set forth in Article II, §1, cl. 2 and the 12th Amendment to our US Constitution. But we have ignored those provisions for a great many years; and it’s too late to obey them for the upcoming election of President and Vice President.
But Congress still has constitutional authority to invoke Article II, §1, cl. 4, which invests in Congress the power to determine the time of chusing the Presidential Electors and the Day on which they vote. That date is currently set for November 3, 2020.
Pursuant to Article I, §4, cl. 1, Congress may make laws determining the “Times, Places and Manner” of holding the federal elections to Congress.
Since we know that Trump ballots have been tossed into dumpsters, and election offices have been flooded with fake Biden ballots; the best course of action would be for Congress to make a law which reschedules the November 3 election to a later date; and cancels everything which has been done so far respecting the election (at least since the primaries).
Congress could then exercise its constitutional authority to establish common sense procedures respecting the “Time, Place and Manner” of voting in the upcoming elections. For example, Congress could pass a law providing that:
Every registered voter who wants to vote must physically appear at his officially designated place of voting and produce proof of identity.
Election Day should be one day – not weeks and months before & after the date set for the election.
Absentee voting should be restricted to those who are out of the Country or out of State due to military service, service in the diplomatic corps, missionaries stationed overseas, businessmen stationed overseas, etc.
We used to do it this way.
But the Marxists came in with their hard luck stories about how these requirements were harsh, unfair, discriminatory, and so forth; and so our side [as usual] caved in and went along with the demands which stripped us of the ability to have even reasonably honest elections.
However, because Marxists now control the House, Congress lacks the ability to act as suggested above.
2. What does the US Supreme Court have constitutional authority to do?
Article I, §4, cl. 1 provides that the power to set the “Times, Places and Manner” of voting in federal elections is delegated exclusively to the Legislative Branches of the State & Federal governments [LINK]. Accordingly, and consistent with the Principle of “Separation of Powers” and the “political question” doctrine [LINK], the Judicial Branches of State and federal government have no lawful authority to substitute their views on these issues for those of the Legislative Branches.
Even so, with respect to the upcoming elections, lawless federal and state judges have been usurping power by substituting their views respecting the “Times, Places and Manner” of voting for the views of State Legislatures. Some judges are ruling that because of COVID-19, voters shouldn’t be required to go to the polls – everyone must be allowed to vote by mail; and the time for counting ballots must be extended.
Obviously, the Supreme Court has no constitutional authority to substitute their views respecting the “Times, Places and Manner” of voting for those of the legislative bodies. Instead, the Supreme Court’s Duty is to issue orders and judgments which adhere to what the Constitution says.
So the Supreme Court should overturn the usurpatious orders of state and federal judges who attempted to usurp power over this issue. They should remind The People of our Country that only the State Legislatures and Congress may address these issues – that judges must keep their hands off. The power isn’t given to the Judicial Branches.
But a recent case out of South Carolina indicates that the most we will get from the Supreme Court is an unprincipled “cut the baby in half” compromise.
South Carolina law provides that a witness must sign an absentee ballot for the ballot to be valid. The Marxists (or their dupes) objected to this requirement and sued. Using COVID-19 as the excuse, the federal judge disagreed [!] with the statutory requirement for a witness, and said the State couldn’t enforce it. South Carolina election officials applied to the US Supreme Court for a stay of the lower Court’s order. 1
On October 5, 2020, in Andino v. Middleton [LINK], the Supreme Court stayed the Order, except to the extent that any ballots cast before they granted the Stay and received within two days of their Order may not be rejected.
So the Supreme Court’s Order is nothing for us to celebrate. The Supreme Court is allowing several days’ worth of unlawful ballots to be treated as valid; and thus are rewarding the trial judge’s usurpation of powers granted to the South Carolina Legislature, by allowing these unlawful ballots to be counted.
But our good Justices, Thomas and Alito, and Gorsuch as well, would have granted the Stay in full and disqualified all the unlawful absentee ballots.
Justice Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion suggests that, like the majority, he doesn’t understand that the Judicial Branch has no constitutional authority to alter State election laws re the “Times, Places and Manner” of holding elections. To the contrary, he pointed out that the actions of the lower Court violated Supreme Court precedent that (1) an unelected federal judge ordinarily shouldn’t make public health decisions which overrule State Legislatures, and (2) federal courts ordinarily shouldn’t alter state election rules in the period close to an election. Yikes!
So while the Supreme Court might “give” us some relief from the massive cheating, it seems unlikely that they will provide a principled defense of our Constitution.
3. What must State Governments do?
State governments may be the only way salvage, at least to some extent, the upcoming election. Since the Judicial Branches of the State and federal governments have no constitutional authority to change the decisions of the Legislative Branches respecting the “Times, Places and Manner” of federal elections; State Governments should instruct the Election Officials for their State that they must obey & enforce the election laws passed by their State legislature and not the usurpatious orders of judges. Judges have no constitutional authority to change what the State Legislatures do on this issue!
Election officials should also be shown that judges have no power to enforce their orders & judgments – that they depend on the Executive Branches of the federal or State governments to enforce them. We are doomed if Americans remain unable to grasp this simple concept.
Endnote:
1 The better course of action would have been for South Carolina to nullify the lawless opinion of the federal judge by refusing to enforce it. Remember! Federal judges have no army – they can’t enforce their Orders. They must depend on the Executive Branch of the federal gov’t to enforce them. Who thinks President Trump would send in the National Guard to force South Carolina election officials to allow cheating in the upcoming election? If those officials had been familiar with what Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 78 (6th para), they would have known this.

Can the Fed End Racism?

House Financial Services Chair Maxine Waters and Senator Elizabeth Warren have introduced the Federal Reserve Racial and Economic Equity Act .
This legislation directs the Federal Reserve to eliminate racial disparities in income , employment , wealth , and access to credit .
Eliminating racial disparities in access to credit is code for forcing banks and other financial institutions to approve loans based on the applicants ’ race , instead of based on their income and credit history .
Overlooking poor credit history or income below what would normally be required to qualify for a loan results in individuals ending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will end up losing their homes , cars , or businesses because banks disregarded sound lending practices in an effort to show they are meeting race-based requirements .
Forcing banks to make loans based on political considerations damages the economy by misallocating resources .
This reduces economic growth and inflicts more pain on lower-income Americans .
The Carter-era Community Reinvestment Act has already shown what happens when the government forces banks to give loans to unqualified borrowers .
This law played a significant role in the housing boom and subsequent economic meltdown .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Act will be the Community Reinvestment Act on steroids .
This legislation also requires the Fed to shape monetary policy with an eye toward eliminating racial disparities .
This adds a third mandate to the Fed ’ s current “ dual mandate ” of promoting a stable dollar and full employment .
