CNA Nursing Home Whistleblower: Seniors Are DYING LIKE FLIES After COVID Injections! SPEAK OUT!!!
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 7 hours ago
James (he gives his last name in the video) is a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), and he recorded this video as a whistleblower because he could not keep silent any longer. James reports that in 2020 very few residents in the nursing home where he works got sick with COVID, and none of them died during the entire year of 2020. However, shortly after administering the Pfizer experimental mRNA injections, 14 died within two weeks, and he reports that many others are near death.

*Reuters:** Russia and U.S. extend New START arms pact, Putin and Biden chat* MOSCOW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russia and the United States have struck a deal to extend the New START nuclear arms control treaty, the Kremlin said on Tuesday, a move that preserves the last major pact of its kind between the world’s two biggest nuclear powers. The treaty, which was due to expire next month, limits the number of strategic nuclear warheads, missiles and bombers that Russia and the United States can deploy. The Kremlin declared the breakthrough, which was widely anticipated, in a state...

Fred Hampton was a leader in the Black Panther Party who was harassed and targeted by local law enforcement and the FBI, resulting in his murder during a police raid on his apartment on December 4, 1969. Fred Hampton joined the Black Panther Party in 1968. He quickly rose in its ranks, both in Chicago and on a national level. However, the Black Panther became a law enforcement target. In the early hours of December 4, 1969, police raided Hampton's apartment and shot the 21-year-old to death. A later investigation revealed that police had fired nearly 100 times, while only one bul...

Is the SolarWinds Cyberattack an Act of War? It Is, If the United States Says It Is.
yvindman, Lawfare - 10 hours ago
A bundle of wires. (Simeon Berg, https://tinyurl.com/yxokdsvg; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have posed the question of whether the recent SolarWinds cyberattack was an act of war. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin and Republican Sen. Mitt Romney shared these concerns. An act of war—in Latin, casus belli—has historically been unsubtle; therefore, it’s traditionally been pretty obvious when one has occurred. Not so in the digital age, in which a surreptitious cyberattack delivers latent but potentially catastrophic...

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Health, Americas* The idea of “double-masking” is gaining more traction within the medical community.
