7-Year-Old Girl Has Stroke and Brain Hemorrhage 7 Days After Pfizer COVID-19 Shot
A man in Pennsylvania has reported that his niece, Harper, was taken to the ICU recently due to having a stroke and hemorrhaging in her brain, 7 days after receiving a Pfizer COVID-19 shot. The uncle, Barry Gewin, does not refer to the shot she received as a "vaccine," but a "lethal injection" that is "pure evil," suggesting that he might have a different opinion about the Pfizer shots for children than maybe his brother does, the father of Harper. At one point he posted an update along with a short video stating that Harper was beginning to walk again. But in a subsequent commen... read more

Why We Should Oppose The Democracy SummitThe exclusion of certain countries from the U.S. “democracy summit” is not a side issue. It is the very purpose of the summit. And excluded countries have not been excluded for failing to meet the standards of behavior of those that were invited or the one doing the inviting. Invitees didn’t even have to be countries, as even a U.S. backed failed coup leader from Venezuela has been invited. So have representatives of Israel, Iraq, Pakistan, DRC, Zambia, Angola, Malaysia, Kenya, and — critically — pawns in the game: Taiwan and Ukraine.
