MANDATE IT BABY! THAT’S HOW YOU HANDLE RETHUGLICANS

Student athletes become the latest target for school vaccine mandates
The approaching winter season and its indoor sports, such as basketball, hockey and wrestling, have some school officials on high alert.

American, Alaska Airlines and JetBlue will all require their employees to get vaccinated.

“Sadopopulism.” Enact policies that hurt your base, and give them someone to blame.

There’s no chance of convincing these hard core deniers with logic, it just won’t work, they’re invested in their position, facts don’t matter.

It was self-evident the astonishing ignorance of the MAGA confederacy would lead to their slaughter in the COVID war, but this is…..deeply tragic.

“The point is that most vaccine resistance isn’t about deep concerns, but it often involves assertions of the right to give (misguided perceptions of) self-interest priority over the public interest. So, luckily, many resisters fold as soon as the calculus of self-interest reverses, and refusing to take their shots has immediate, tangible financial costs.” Unvaccinated people are 56 times more likely to die.

Fewer than 1% of United Airlines employees refused to get vaccinated when told they needed to get the jab to keep their jobs. That’s right, out of 67,000 employees, only 593 refused to get the shot. Two months ago, only 70% of the airline’s employees were vaccinated, now only 1% are not.
IF anything was coherent then they’d resist getting the polio vaccine, and all the other vaccines not to mention refusing to use over the counter medicine that used fetal stem cell research.

But it’s not only United. Tyson Foods reported that 91% of its employees are now vaccinated, and the deadline has not yet arrived. As for the New York health system, it went from 75% to 92% today. Many individual hospitals are even higher. St. Barnabas in the Bronx went from 80% to 97%. Mohawk Valley went from 70% to 95.6%. https://wapo.st/3uyvp0p

Since mid-June: 100,000 have died. Of those, 2,900 people were vaccinated. 40% of those that died were under 65.
Still doing research?

Vote for Drumph = Vote for Death

Highest number of deaths came from Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Dr. Joseph Ladapo has repeatedly questioned public health officials’ guidance on masking and lockdowns — and Gov. Ron DeSantis just appointed him Florida’s new surgeon general. More people have died in Florida than DeSantis’ margin in the last election – by an excess of 20,000.

Hospitals across New England are seeing full ICUs and staff shortages despite the region’s high vaccination rate as coronavirus cases continue to rise — largely among the unvaccinated.

OSHA and its state partners have around 1,850 inspectors covering some 8 million worksites nationwide. Soon, this small and chronically understaffed agency will be taking on a big challenge: enforcing a federal vaccine rule covering 80 million workers.

Religious Exemption Bull
The COVID vaccine is not the only modern medicine to be made with fetal stem cell research. Declining a vaccine for religious reasons creates an ethical conundrum, as medicines ranging from Tylenol to other prescriptions were made with similar research.

A year later, 45% of COVID patients in Wuhan still have symptoms

A search of data hacked from the Oath Keepers website revealed over 200 people who identify as active or retired law enforcement officers, from Alabama to California. Oath Keepers is one of the largest far-right, antigovernment groups in the U.S.

Supreme Court rules by 6-3 vote that 6-3 votes are not politically motivated.
Justice Samuel Alito allegedly plotted with Trump to stop Biden’s certification on J6.
It’s time to choose between protecting our right to vote or the Jim Crow filibuster. Stop protecting minority rule in the Senate while states strip minority voting rights. The Senate must pass the #FreedomToVote Act by any means necessary. #PassFTVA.

Facebook freaking out that whistleblower who will appear in 60 minutes may prove Facebook complicit in Capitol riot. Whistle blower claims Facebook is lying to investors about efforts to curb behavior leading to riot.

Facebook needs to be treated like a “hostile foreign power.”

KOCH

The Radical Capitalist Behind the Critical Race Theory Furor

Charles Koch money behind the critical race theory fight The Koch advocacy group, Americans for Prosperity, has been orchestrating an online campaign to push Manchin to stand against proposals like the For The People Act, or S.1, Democrats’ keystone voting rights bill, and the abolition of the filibuster.

FIAT CRIMES REVEALED IN THE PANDORA PAPERS
A massive trove of private financial records exposes secretive offshore system used to hide billions of dollars from tax authorities, creditors, criminal investigators and — in 14 cases involving current country leaders — citizens around the world. We hear that people in Jordan are blocked from reading the @ICIJ’s story about their King’s secret property empire. They can read all about it here instead.
Kudos & congrats to the 600 journalists from around world who have investigated & reported out this HUGE new leak. Politicians & PMs in the frame but the real villain here is the entire offshore system. And esp London’s leading role. The offshore secrets of more than 35 current and former presidents revealed in a massive leak. This is one of the most exhausting, complex and potentially explosive investigations I’ve ever worked on.

Law Breaking and Unethical Crypto

Bitcoin vs. Crypto

@michael_saylor

“#Bitcoin is a moral imperative for everyone on Earth.” #Bitcoin is freedom. Nothing has created more wealth in the past decade than technologies banned in China. Sell your altcoins and buy #Bitcoin. Everyone is overestimating the potential of the alt coins and underestimating the potential of #Bitcoin

“A year ago I said you should sell your gold and buy bitcoin.
I don’t think I was wrong.
Today I would say sell your altcoins and buy #bitcoin.
Everybody is overestimating the potential of the altcoins and they’re underestimating the potential of bitcoin.” – @michael_saylor

One year after my first discussion with @RaoulGMI, we get back together to discuss lessons of the past 12 months, corporate adoption of #Bitcoin, digital property, digital energy, leverage, risk, and the coming impact of regulation on the crypto industry. Watch Michael Saylor give Raoul Pal a whole new Real Vision.

TikTokers Are Trading Stocks By Copying What Members Of Congress Do
A community of young investors on TikTok, including @ceowatchlist, @quicktrades and @irisapp, are using House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading disclosures as inspiration for where to invest themselves. One user called Pelosi the market’s “biggest whale,” while another called her the “queen of investing.”

The White Sands discovery only confirms what Indigenous people have said all along
Once again, the media has excluded Indigenous peoples from our own story.”Time immemorial” is a term of art borrowed from English law and means pre-1189, just saying. There’s a phrase  that I think is true in most academic fields: “dismissed Indigenous oral history as nonscientific” Not just Indigenous but all oral knowledge. The only exceptions I’ve seen relate to the origins of European literature. I doubt that’s coincidence. The entire American Constitution and everything that derives from it is a “colonialist institution”.

Eventually, all money will be digital. That’s a fact. But we still have time to decide what *kind* of digital money we want. The legacy system would like us to rent *their* money, designed for easy surveillance, censorship, and seizure.
– No that is not a fact. There will always be people who will want and use physical money.

If the minimum wage had increased at the rate of productivity since 1960, it would be nearly *$24* right now. Instead, because politicians have failed to act, it’s a starvation wage of just $7.25

UN Food Summit Taken Over by Corporations & Gates
Nils McCune and Camila Escalante say the meeting represents a hostile takeover of world governance by corporate forces and the billionaire elite.

I estimate about 40 hours of labor required to research and fill in the remaining 435 Congress members’ financial disclosures on https://bitcoinpoliticians.org – a full week of work for a sole contributor, but far less if a few dozen folks look up 10 disclosures each!

Steve Mnuchin took trips to Middle East countries in his last days as Trump’s Treasury Secretary, costing taxpayers $300k.
After he left office, Mnuchin started a $2.5 billion investment fund with some of the same countries.
Yeah, that’s questionable.

Merrick Garland What the hell are you waiting for?
– Robert Mueller started investigating Trump 1592 days ago, finding 10 instances of obstruction of justice
– Fmr FBI Director Mueller testified under oath 794 days ago that upon leaving office Trump could be indicted for 10 counts of obstruction
– Trump left office 248 days ago

Robert Reich Reminder: In only 4 of the past 28 years have Democrats had the presidency AND both houses of Congress. This is a rare opportunity and the window to act is already closing. Voting rights. Taxing the rich. Campaign finance reform. Climate action. It all needs to happen — now.

If you thought Jan 6 was violent, that was nothing compared to what they’re planning for Jan 2025. These state bills to suppress voting and give crooked state legislatures the power to set aside or throw into chaos vote tallies are intended to lay the groundwork for bloodshed.

The ACLU of Ohio, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Covington & Burling LLP have filed a lawsuit in Ohio Supreme Court challenging Ohio’s newly drawn maps for state House and Senate districts “that give extreme and unfair advantage to the Republican Party.”

If you’re reading this, you clearly have internet access, and like most people you are probably paying for that internet with money sitting in your bank account — This is normal for 6 Billion people, but it’s not for the 1.7 Billion people do not have a bank account.

1.1 million in 10 days. With a population of only 6.5 million. 1.1 million in 10 days is crazy. They only managed 2 million in 40 years with traditional banking. The beginning of the end for banks. El Salvador also saved about $400 million in fees that they would have paid to remittance services like Western Union and Moneygram.This will spread to similar countries like wildfire. The political incentives are unavoidable.

ARREST TRUMP

Trump left office eight months ago. Still no sign of those sealed indictments against him or his family we were promised were filed years ago.

The state that leads in illiteracy leads in COVID deaths.

Remember when a guy murdered 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue? When it was revealed the shooter had posted about it on Gab beforehand, every service powering the social network pulled the plug. Epik was who brought them back online.

EPIK

Anonymous has just announced a massive hack of Epik, long known as the hosting provider of choice for neonazis, right-wing extremists, and other Internet trash. Anonymous are releasing a decade’s worth of detailed Epik customer & domain data, passwords, emails, and private keys.
Isn’t it interesting how the MSM ignores the fact that #Anonymous hacked and dropped 180GB of far right wing host Epik’s data yet are all over the Capitol “protest” today?
