The Truth Is Out There

JUST SAY NO!


Adverse events are now available in single dose servings. Only around 22.5% of U.S. adults received the latest round of shots that came out last fall. This insanity needs to STOP.

In June 2024, the CDC recommended that everyone over 6 months old receive an updated COVID-19 vaccine and flu jab this year.

On August 22, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration approved updated Covid vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, putting the new shots on track to reach most Americans in the coming days amid a summer surge of the virus. 

The new shots from Pfizer and Moderna are specifically approved for people ages 12 and older and are authorized under emergency use for children 6 months through 11 years old.  


Pfizer Comirnaty®

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Moderna Spikevax®

Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine mRNA 2024-2025 formula.

The jabs target a strain called KP.2, a descendant of the highly contagious omicron subvariant JN.1 that began circulating widely in the U.S. earlier this year. KP.2 was the dominant Covid strain in May, but now only accounts for roughly 3% of all U.S. cases as of Saturday, according to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.

  • Unvaccinated individuals 6 months through 4 years of age are eligible to receive three doses of the updated, authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or two doses of the updated, authorized Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.
  • Individuals 6 months through 4 years of age who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 are eligible to receive one or two doses of the updated, authorized Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines (timing and number of doses to administer depends on the previous COVID-19 vaccine received).
  • Individuals 5 years through 11 years of age regardless of previous vaccination are eligible to receive a single dose of the updated, authorized Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines; if previously vaccinated, the dose is administered at least 2 months after the last dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Individuals 12 years of age and older are eligible to receive a single dose of the updated, approved Comirnaty or the updated, approved Spikevax; if previously vaccinated, the dose is administered at least 2 months since the last dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Additional doses are authorized for certain immunocompromised individuals ages 6 months through 11 years of age as described in the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine fact sheets.

Individuals who receive an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may experience similar side effects as those reported by individuals who previously received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and as described in the respective prescribing information or fact sheets.


Pfizer will begin shipping its new shot immediately and expects it to be available in pharmacies, hospitals and clinics across the U.S. in the coming days.

Moderna also expects its shot to be available in a similar time frame.

A “high” or “very high” level of Covid is being detected in wastewater in almost every state, according to CDC data from wastewater monitoring.

It’s unclear how many Americans will actually roll up their sleeves to get another shot in the coming months.

It’s a modern fetish that we’re brilliant while our ancestors were idiots. After all, they didn’t have iphones, internets, or Kim Kardashian.

This is also academic consensus, for what it’s worth: called the Flynn Effect, the idea is people do better on puzzles so we must be smarter.

Of course, one wonders if puzzles translate into, say, understanding monetary policy or how welfare destroys families.

The Rise of Dumb Politics

Thankfully, we have a real-world test: actual political campaigns.

Back when I was a professor, I ran every inaugural address through a Flesch-Kincaid text analysis to measure the grade level. The logic being top speech-writers know how to talk at voters’ level.

Going by grade level, it turns out we are getting dumb breathtakingly fast.

In 1900 inaugurals were written at between 13th and 14th grade — modern college level. Today they’re 8th grade for Obama, 9th grade for Trump, and… 7th grade for Biden.

It gets worse the further back we go: Andrew Jackson’s 1828 inaugural was written at 22nd grade — meaning, strictly speaking, two phd’s was the median voter in 1828.

Keep in mind Jackson was a populist man-of-the-people — Washington’s inaugural was closer to 26th grade.

Also keep in mind almost nobody in 1828 — or 1789 — had a formal education.

Jackson kicks off with “Undertaking the ardous duties that I have been appointed,” Washington starts with “Among the vicissitudes incident to life,” for Biden it’s “This is America’s day.”

So how did we get so dumb?

Easy: public schools.

Public School: Indoctrination, not Education

The modern government school came from 1800’s Prussia, who had enough of worker riots and peasant revolts, and resolved to indoctrinate kids into pro-regime obedience.

It worked a charm, turning the once unruly Germans into a government-directed army that went on to do terrible things.

Left-wing American intellectuals were fascinated by Prussia’s indoctrination and imported it to the US. They were motivated not by peasant revolts, but by the frustratingly small-government ethos of Catholics.

Progressives figured they can’t frog-march American Catholics into government utopia, but they have the children.

These activists spread government schools to every state, and got a major boost post-war, when competence tests were declared discriminatory, forcing companies to instead rely on formal education to discover talent.

This launched the university from a fringe toy for the 1% into a $300,000 tax on anybody hoping for a white collar job.

Meanwhile, like all government programs, opportunists — teachers unions — took over, spending $878 billion per year dutifully peddling politics but neglecting the actual purpose of education, leaving American kids illiterate and innumerate.

A video last year mentioned how fully 23 Baltimore schools had precisely zero students proficient in math, and in Detroit 96% of students lack proficiency in math — 95% can’t even read. But by gum they know their demi-genders.

Take people who can’t name a state or don’t know what the Supreme Court is, wash them with decades of left-wing propaganda, stick them in a voting booth, and here we are.

Conclusion

If we’re to save our democracy, we have to save our voters. By replacing government schools with schools that actually teach instead of indoctrinate.

That could mean school choice, it could mean vouchers, it could mean homeschooling co-ops. But until we fix it, things will keep getting worse.

Savims Statement On Proposed Emergency Roll Out Of Vaccine Program In Africa For Monkeypox

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Statement on proposed emergency roll-out of vaccine program in Africa for monkeypox.

We are deeply concerned about the recent announcements made by Africa CDC Director General Jean Kaseya on 13 August 2024 and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on 14 August 2024.

It is important to address these announcements openly to the public.

In his statements, Director General Jean Kaseya declared regarding monkeypox vaccines, “We have a clear plan to secure more than 10 million doses in Africa, starting with 3 million doses in 2024.”

We at SAVIMS would like to point out pertinent facts to both institutions and other relevant bodies of interest:

  1. There is no prescribed vaccine with documented level 1 scientific evidence for monkeypox. The current WHO recommended live virus vaccines, Jynneos and ACAM2000, are (a) intended for smallpox and are thus experimental for monkeypox; (b) have reported serious adverse effects and (c) contain live viral strains which may instigate a resurgence of the eradicated smallpox virus.
  2. The potential use of mRNA vaccines. There is no scientific evidence supporting the use of any mRNA vaccine to prevent or mitigate any infectious disease. The observed data of adverse reactions to experimental mRNA vaccines far outweighs any benefit.
  3. Informed consent is an ethical concept that is codified in the law and is in daily practice at every health care institution. Three fundamental criteria are needed for clinical informed consent: the patient must be competent, adequately informed, and not coerced. It is not possible for any recipient of these vaccines to receive a legitimate informed consent based on the current research.
  4. The article by Allan-Blitz et al, “A position statement on Mpox as a Sexually Transmitted Disease,” concluded that monkeypox is a sexually transmitted disease.” Preventative measures for this scenario should necessitate and provoke relevant clinical and primary health care and education initiatives directed at the high-risk group. There is no merit for the recommendation of experimental vaccines to the general population.
  5. The statistics and analysis, regarding the collated monkeypox data in the DRC and other countries in Africa by the WHO, warrant further investigation, and must be independently audited. The areas in which the highest statistics were collated should detail the criteria for testing, the procedures for testing, equipment sensitivity and specificity, personnel skill, clinical scenarios, and provocation for testing these specific communities. What tests were done to investigate and exclude other diseases, including communicable diseases?
  6. There have been no autopsy reports published on the deaths related to monkeypox. The lack of formal documented autopsy, lack of information regarding equipment test sensitivities and specificities, and lack of information on procedures validating random collation of data, further reduces and invalidates the authenticity of the statistics.

SAVIMS POSITION STATEMENT REGARDING EMERGENCY MONKEYPOX VACCINE ROLLOUT IN AFRICA:

Boards have reviewed the literature and analyzed the data on monkeypox, as well as its etiopathogenesis. Based on the understanding of this disease:

  1. The reviewers do not support the Africa CDC and WHO declaration of a global health emergency for monkeypox.
  2. It is established that monkeypox is predominantly a self-limiting condition. This does not warrant vaccine intervention.
  3. The reviewers strongly object, based on the scientific evidence, to the “emergency” rollout of repurposed smallpox vaccines or any other proposed monkeypox vaccine to the people of Africa.
  4. The reviewers question the authenticity of the number of deaths associated with monkeypox, as reported by the Africa CDC, unless it can be verified through autopsy.
  5. The reviewers warn members of the public about the inherent risks of taking any vaccine, including those proposed for Mpox, of which the effectiveness and safety have not been reliably determined by Level 1 clinical trials. There can be no justification for a vaccine with unknown adverse effects.
  6. The reviewers urge the public to exercise their inherent human rights to refuse to give consent to any medical intervention that they do not feel comfortable in taking.

The reviewers are open to dialogue and discussion with the Africa CDC on the issues raised above and on all matters of health and well-being concerning the African population.

Moneypox Data?


So far, the available data regarding ‘moneypox’ is vague, incomplete and contradictory. The world deserves access to accurate, up-to-date, coherent and complete data regarding the ‘moneypox’ PHEIC.

The data that is publicly available regarding moneypox (Mpox) clearly conflicts with many statements that have been made by public officials and organizations.

The problem appears to be that some of the available data refers to “confirmed” cases, some of the data refers to “probable” cases and some of the data refers to “reported” or “suspected” cases. (see CDC definitions)

Also, the data regarding the new “Clade 1b” has not been adequately detailed.

Will any valid, up-to-date, complete, coherent and accurate data ever be made available?

What is the truth?

If anyone has access to newer or more accurate and complete data, please post it in the comment section below:

The data below is from the African CDC:


August 13, 2024

At least 12 African countries, including previously unaffected nations like Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, have reported Mpox outbreaks. So far in 2024, these countries have confirmed 2,863 cases and 517 deaths, primarily in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Suspected cases across the continent have surged past 17,000.


and also this information:

July 30, 2024

Since the beginning of this year and as of July 28, 2024 a total of 14,250 cases (2,745 confirmed; 11,505 suspected) and 456 deaths (CFR: 3.2%) of mpox have been reported from 10 AU MS: Burundi (8 cases; 0 deaths), Cameroon (35; 2), CAR (213; 0), Congo (146; 1), DRC (13,791; 450), Ghana (4; 0), Liberia (5; 0), Nigeria (24; 0), Rwanda (2; 0) and South Africa (22; 3). This represents a 160% and 19% increase in cases and deaths, respectively, in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

DRC accounts for 96.3% of all cases and 97% of all deaths reported this year. In addition, Chad has reported 24 suspected cases and no confirmed cases this year.

The data below is from Reuters:


August 16, 2024

There have been 27,000 cases and more than 1,100 deaths, mainly among children, in Congo since the current outbreak began in January 2023.

The data below is from the United States CDC:


August 15, 2024

Since January 2023, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has reported more than 22,000 suspect mpox cases and more than 1,200 deaths.

https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/outbreak/2023-drc.html

The data below is from The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control:


August 16, 2024

Since the beginning of the global mpox outbreak in 2022 and until the end of July 2024, 99,176 confirmed cases of mpox, including 208 deaths, had been reported by 116 countries.

In 2024, 14,719 suspected and 2,822 confirmed mpox cases (total 17,541) have been reported in the African continent, including 517 deaths (case fatality 3%), according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC).

In 2024, DRC has reported 16 789 cases (14 151 suspected and 2 638 confirmed) including 511 deaths (case fatality 3%) from all of the country’s provinces, representing the highest number of cases due to clade I in Africa.

Confirmed mpox cases have also been reported in five of the eight neighbouring countries to DRC in 2024, i.e.

  • Burundi (61 confirmed, 165 suspected),
  • Central African Republic (35 confirmed, 223 suspected),
  • Congo (19 confirmed, 150 suspected),
  • Rwanda (four confirmed), and
  • Uganda (two confirmed).

MPVX clade Ib, which was detected first in DRC and reported in April 2024, was also detected in confirmed cases in Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya.

In DRC, most cases and deaths reported are among <15-year-olds, representing 66% of the total cases and 82% of the total deaths. Males account for 73% of the cases in DRC.

  • An alternative diagnosis can fully explain the illness OR
  • An individual with symptoms consistent with mpox does not develop a rash within 5 days of illness onset OR
  • A case where high-quality specimens do not demonstrate the presence of Orthopoxvirus or MPXV or antibodies to orthopoxvirus

https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/clinicians/case-definition.html


Interim Case Definitions for Clade I Mpox*

As of June 10, 2024

Suspect Case, Clade I

Probable or confirmed mpox as defined above AND

At least one of the Clade I Epidemiologic Criteria (below)

Probable Case, Clade I

Probable or confirmed mpox as defined above AND

At least one of the Clade I Epidemiologic Criteria (below) AND

Clade I and clade II MPXV-negative by polymerase chain reaction testing without Next-Generation sequencing of a clinical specimen to confirm clade

https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/clinicians/case-definition.html


Laboratory Testing

The laboratory diagnosis of mpox is predominantly based on the direct demonstration of the Orthopoxvirus monkeypox (MPXV) in a clinical specimen.

Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) on skin lesion materials (e.g. swabs, exudate, or lesion crusts) are used most frequently.

Viral throat swabs can be used for high risk contacts of confirmed or high-probable cases who have developed systemic symptoms but do not have a rash or lesions that can be sampled.

Several real-time PCR assays for the specific detection of MPXV, or for generic orthopoxvirus detection are available [31-36].

Over 80 MPXV laboratory tests are CE-validated, mostly based on PCR [31-36].

If we apply Special Counsel Jack Smith’s interpretation of the “conspiracy against rights” statue included in the DOJ’s J6 indictment of Donald Trump, Biden and the Democrats have committed a crime.

On Monday night, Joe Biden will stumble his way through a farewell speech in bidding goodbye to politics after more than 50 years in public office.

Biden undoubtedly plans to offer the same schtick—a caption-necessary combination of self-pity and self-righteousness punctuated by expressions of rage and his signature creepy whisper—as he soaks in his final moments of glory in front of thousands of Democrats assembled at the United Center on the west side of Chicago.

But this is not what Biden wanted. Far from it.

His address will be less curtain call and more live hostage video performed under duress by a man taken captive by his own party elites including longtime friends and allies who have essentially chained the ex-presidential candidate to his Delaware beach house to keep him from doing any more political damage.

Biden may speak the jumbo-sized words plastered on the teleprompter but all the while he’ll hear in the back of his head the voice of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

The easy way or the hard way.

And as Americans listen to Biden’s standard unhinged rants about Donald Trump’s so-called “threat to democracy,” it is important to recall that Biden was forced out of the race not by Trump but by top Democratic Party officials including Pelosi, Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

And aside from the unseemliness of it all, what happened to Biden could constitute a federal crime—at least according to Special Counsel Jack Smith.

“Rule of Law” for Everyone…Right?

One of four counts in Smith’s January 6-related indictment of the former president is 18 U.S. Code § 241, conspiracy against rights. The statute reads:

“If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States; they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years.”

Smith once again relied on the vague language of a federal statute to argue that Trump’s claims about voting fraud in the 2020 election and plans to delay the certification proceedings on January 6 denied the rights of the (haha) 81 million Americans who voted for Biden. Smith’s indictment accuses Trump of conspiring to “injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate one or more persons in the free exercise and enjoyment of a right and privilege secured to them by the Constitution and laws of the United States—that is, the right to vote, and to have one’s vote counted.” (Emphasis added.)

In announcing the indictment in August 2023, Smith described the conspiracy charge as Trump’s attempt to “disenfranchise voters.”

Well, well, well.

Using Smith’s logic, that law now should apply to Congressional Democrats, the corporate news media, and White House officials including Biden himself for violating the rights of 14 million voters who selected Biden during the Democratic primary. By every measure, those parties collectively “disenfranchised” voters by first freezing out potential Democratic primary opponents last spring and officially clinching the nomination in March only to later succeed in strong-arming Biden out of the race when it was clear he would not win.

The criminal conspiracy to violate the voting rights of 14 million Americans began shortly after Biden’s disastrous debate performance on June 27. 

For three weeks, Biden, according to sources, vigorously rejected public and private calls for his ouster. One by one, loyal politicians and reporters turned on him. The short-tempered Biden “has been fuming at his Delaware beach house, increasingly resentful about what he sees as an orchestrated campaign to drive him out of the race and bitter toward some of those he once considered close, including his onetime running mate Barack Obama,” the New York Times reported on July 19.

Nonetheless, Biden and his advisors spent the next 48 hours promising that he planned to continue seeking a second term, even announcing plans to return to the campaign trail after a (quesionable) bout with Covid. 

Then in a Sunday afternoon surprise, with 107 days left before Election Day, Biden quit the race on July 21.

Unlike January 6, July 21 Successfully Disenfranchised Voters

In any other industry or sport, Biden’s decision represented nothing less than conceding victory to Donald Trump. After all, Biden did not say he dropped out due to health problems or other unexpected issues.

He quit because he was going to lose and take down other Democratic candidates with him in November.

His spokesman at the time portrayed his boss’s act as one of selfless courage. “The President has spoken to his decision to put country above self and unite his party, as well as the stakes of this moment.”

But that is not why Biden exited stage left. He got the hook.

“What happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in the races,” Biden told CBS News sycophant Robert Costa on August 7. “And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic. You’d be interviewing me about, ‘why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did so-and-so,’ and I thought it would be a real distraction.”

Not a distraction. A humiliation. It was all about party and politics and nothing about country. Further, Pelosi’s mob boss tactics also had nothing to do with protecting her friend of 40 years from a brutal campaign or “securing democracy” as she loves to say.

She ruthlessly booted Biden to prevent Trump from winning in what increasingly looked like a landslide victory.

“Her goal, she added, was simple: That Donald Trump would never set foot in the White House again,” the New Yorker magazine reported on August 8. “My concern was: this ain’t happening, and we have to make a decision for this to happen.”

We have to make a decision for this to happen.

Quite ironic for a woman who calls the four-hour disturbance at the Capitol on January 6 a plan by Trump to “overturn the election results.” Rather than risk a loss at the polls in November, Pelosi took the losing matter of Joe Biden’s candidacy into her own talons—and subsequently out of the hands of 14 million Americans.

Biden reportedly is still steamed about the “unprecedented mutiny” against him. He and Pelosi have not spoken since he bowed out.

Kamala Harris, the installed replacement who didn’t earn a single vote for president, now is poised to formally accept the party’s nomination on Thursday night. Her speech will represent the culmination of an unprecedented criminal conspiracy—and a successful one unlike what happened on January 6—to steal the Democratic presidential nomination from Joe Biden and deprive millions of voters their chosen candidate.

Where is the Department of Justice when it’s need it? For Conservatives that is.


An unidentified individual carrying a bag exited a police vehicle then walked toward the location where the device was “found” about 15 minutes later. There are no coincidences.

One reason the public should remain highly suspicious about the circumstances surrounding the so-called “pipe bombs” discovered on January 6 is the national media’s collective disinterest in the matter.

Major news outlets, including those with full time J6 beat reporters, have completely ignored the shocking findings recently confirmed by DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari related to the Secret Service’s role in the events of January 6. Cuffari determined Kamala Harris, the incoming vice president and U.S. Senator at the time and now Democratic candidate for president, came within 20 feet of the alleged explosive when she inexplicably left the Capitol at 11:22 a.m. to visit the Democratic National Committee headquarters instead of staying behind to relish her history-making moment.

Yet she has never discussed nor been asked about her near-assassination attempt. And perhaps for good reason.

Newly discovered video appears to justify the belief that the DNC “pipe bomb” scare was part of an inside job perhaps orchestrated by law enforcement or others to initiate panic in Washington on January 6.

This video, captured by a security camera outside the DNC building, shows an officer with Harris’s detail exit a DC Metro Police SUV at 12:51 p.m. The officer, carrying a bag of some sort, points toward and then walks in the direction of where the second pipe bomb was “found” just outside the building. (For unknown reasons, no video is available for the bench area that day.)

At 12:53 p.m., the man re-enters the frame carrying the bag as he approaches the Metro Police SUV in the driveway and gets back into the passenger side.

What exactly was he doing? Did he set the device? And if he was acting on the up-and-up, how in the world did he not see a pipe bomb sitting right there?

In fact, several instances earlier in the day undermine the idea that law enforcement simply “missed” the device planted underneath bushes between two benches on the outside of the building. The movements also suggest the device was not where the FBI claimed it had been planted the night before—or wasn’t there at all until several minutes before it was “discovered.”

The Official Timeline

Nearly two hours before Harris arrived at the DNC, a bomb-sniffing dog conducted a sweep outside the building at 9:29 a.m. in close proximity to where the explosive was later “found.” The canine did not detect the device—a bomb the FBI insists to this day was viable and deadly—and something Cuffari noted in his investigation of the matter.

Security camera footage edited here to track the movements of Harris’s detail—each marked with a different colored circle—captures the arrival of Harris’s motorcade, which was led by a D.C. Metropolitan Police (MPD) SUV, at the DNC.

As Harris’s motorcade enters the garage, the footage shows a member of the detail, tracked with a yellow circle, exiting the MPD SUV and pointing to the driveway apparently directing the other vehicles where to park. He then walks back to the MPD vehicle, opens the passenger side door, and appears to retrieve something from inside before walking away. The MPD vehicle leaves as the man walks out of frame toward the area where the pipe bomb would be “found” about 40 minutes later.

At 11:27 a.m., a Capitol Police car arrives and parks in the driveway next to the black SUV as the detail member tracked with the yellow circle re-enters the frame from the area where the pipe bomb supposedly was located. He then approaches the Capitol Police car and enters the passenger side.

At 12:03 p.m., the MPD SUV returns. The detail member with the yellow circle exits the Capitol Police car and approaches the MPD officer. The two approach the black SUV. Another member of Harris’s detail, tracked with a red circle, then exits the black SUV, and the three officers enter the MPD vehicle and leave at 12:05 p.m.

Another member of Harris’s detail, tracked with a white circle, appears to wander outside the building, walking out of frame in the direction of where the pipe bomb was located at 12:07 p.m.—yet he somehow missed it, too. 

At 12:08 p.m., the MPD SUV returns and the man tracked with the white circle re-enters the frame from the area of the pipe bomb, approaching the vehicle. The officer driving the MPD SUV exits, followed by the detail member tracked with the yellow circle, who exits from the passenger side. 

The man with the yellow circle opens the SUV’s trunk and three officers shuffle items inside the vehicle. The man tracked with the white circle, who had been posted outside the building, enters the back driver’s side door of the MPD SUV. The driving officer re-enters through the driver’s door and the man tracked with the yellow circle enters the front passenger side door. The man tracked with the red circle, who earlier entered the MPD SUV at 12:05 p.m. after exiting the black SUV, is possibly still inside. Assuming that’s the case, the four members of Harris’s detail leave the DNC in the MPD SUV at 12:10 p.m.

At 12:47 p.m.—two minutes after officers arrived at the Republican National Committee headquarters to respond to the first device—the MPD vehicle returns. 

(Additional officers from the Capitol Police Protective Services Bureau were sent to canvas the DNC in response to the RNC device discovery, which the Capitol Police command center had been alerted to at 12:42 p.m., reportedly diverting resources from the Capitol just as the first wave of protesters arrived.)

The detail member tracked with the red circle exits the MPD SUV and re-enters the black SUV. The MPD SUV leaves again at 12:48 p.m., before returning minutes later at 12:51 p.m.

Shortly after the individual who had exited the DC Metro SUV at 12:51 and returned to the vehicle at 12:53, the device allegedly was found at 1:05 p.m. by a plainclothes officer from the Capitol Police.

Footage shows this officer approaching the driver’s side of the Metro Police SUV, pointing in the direction of the pipe bomb, and then walking around to the passenger side, where the man who had pointed toward the pipe bomb 15 minutes earlier was seated. The passenger door opens, and the plainclothes officer appears to take something from the man inside. The officer is then seen carrying a backpack as he walks away and approaches the driver’s side of the black SUV. 

Despite being alerted to the explosive device, there is no immediate response from the officers while two pedestrians casually stroll across the street toward the pipe bomb’s location. The plainclothes officer then walks away from the black SUV, exiting the frame, as a third pedestrian walks toward the pipe bomb at 1:06 p.m.

The officers finally begin to slowly exit their vehicles at 1:07 p.m. with the driver of the Metro Police SUV casually strolling toward the area of the pipe bomb at 1:08 p.m. This is followed by another pedestrian entering the frame from the direction of the device, appearing unconcerned and unaware of any threat. 

At 1:09 p.m., a fifth pedestrian does the same, also appearing totally unaware and unconcerned. The camera then pans over to where the pipe bomb was located, just next to a bench where an empty disposable coffee cup appears to have been left—possibly by someone who had occupied that bench with the bomb sitting right next to their feet, assuming it had been planted when the FBI claims it was.

At 1:17 p.m., Harris was evacuated from the building, twelve minutes after her detail was alerted to the device.

Perfect Timing

The DNC pipe bomb threat coincided with other key events—the discovery of the RNC pipe bomb (more on that soon), the Ray Epps-led breach of exterior barrier of western side of the Capitol, the release of Vice President Pence’s memo rejecting the idea of denying electoral votes in contested states—just minutes before the 1:00 p.m. start of the joint session of Congress.

It is merely impossible at this point to believe in coincidences related to January 6.

The government also inexplicably misled the courts about Harris’s whereabouts on January 6. The Department of Justice claimed in hundreds of charging documents against J6ers that Harris was at the Capitol during the protest, lending credence to charges that the area was off limits. The DOJ later had to confess that wasn’t true.

Harris has never discussed her brush with death publicly. Her silence makes no sense since she routinely compares the four-hour disturbance to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.

The Secret Service also appears to be involved in concealing the truth related to the DNC pipe bomb. Cuffari’s report also revealed that the Secret Service never reported Harris’s evacuation from the DNC due to the bomb threat as an “unusual protective event,” as required by its policies.

Why?

Even more disturbing is the fact that text messages belonging to at least two dozen Secret Service officials and agents including now disgraced former USSS director Kim Cheatle were deleted and never recovered, adding to the very suspicious surroundings of the pipe bomb mystery.

Self-appointed J6 truth seekers also ignored the pipe bomb threat. In February, Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of now defunct January 6 Select Committee, said his investigators did not look into the pipe bombs.

Kamala Harris is refusing to give any interviews or press conferences while regime media takes the lead in her “reimaging” effort to help her defeat Donald Trump.

Ghosting her whereabouts on January 6 appears to be another way in which the media is rewriting her history.


A new DHS IG report confirms Harris came within 20 feet of an explosive on January 6–but regime media, J6 truth seekers, and even Harris herself continue to disregard the findings. Why?

Confirmation last week by the Department of Homeland Security that Vice President Kamala Harris came within several yards of an explosive device on the afternoon of January 6, 2021 should be one of the hottest stories right now.

The fact that the installed Democratic candidate for president barely escaped an attempt on her life by an alleged MAGA terrorist during what she compares to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor makes for ripe clickbait. Further, her stoicism in the face of such a grave threat—she has never discussed the matter publicly—not just to herself but to her staff and police officers protecting her that day at the DNC is the stuff heroes are made of.

Just imagine a campaign video for Team Harris: grainy footage of a hoodie-wearing Trump goon placing explosives outside the DNC on January 5 followed by clips of the arrival of Harris’ motorcade the next morning and her swift evacuation almost two hours later when the bomb was discovered by police.

Then her triumphant return to the Capitol in the wee hours of January 7 as Harris defeated both Trump and the MAGA bomber in one fell swoop!

Harris also could easily leverage her own attempted assassination to contrast what happened to Donald Trump on July 13, creating a political version of “Survivor.”

“I was a victim of an assassination attempt way before Donald Trump!” Harris could indignantly claim. Adding to the mystery is that the so-called MAGA bomber to date has not been caught.

But oddly, neither Harris nor regime media demonstrate any interest in covering one of the most pivotal moments of an event both Democrats and the media have obsessed over for more than three-and-a-half years. 

As stated, Harris hasn’t been asked about what happened to her that day. Regime media, with the exception of a few articles, barely mentions the pipe bomb incident in coverage of the events of January 6 even though the threat prompted the first wave of panic. And for almost a year, the Department of Justice lied in charging documents that Harris was at the Capitol on January 6 to support trespassing charges against hundreds of individuals before fessing up in court that whoops she was not there at any point during the four-hour disturbance.

This collective cover up raises many red flags. But now that Harris is the Democratic nominee for president and amid worries the Secret Service is failing to adequately defend the agency’s protectees, the ongoing memory holing of the DNC pipe bomber grows more suspicious.

Confirming What the Right has Exclusively Reported for Years

According to the inspector general for the DHS, the motorcade for the then-U.S. Senator from California drove right past a pipe bomb hours before Harris was set to make history as the first woman of color elected vice president. Harris had left the U.S. Capitol around 11:15 a.m. following a Senate intelligence briefing and arrived at the DNC with her Secret Service detail roughly ten minutes later. “The pipe bomb was approximately 9 feet from the building’s exterior wall and 20 feet from the center of the driveway to the garage entrance where the Vice President-elect, traveling in an armored vehicle with her motorcade, entered the building on January 6,” Inspector General Joseph Cuffari disclosed in his report on the Secret Service’s role in the events of January 6.

A plainclothes Capitol Police officer found the device around 1:05 p.m. after law enforcement was alerted about the discovery of a pipe bomb outside the Republican National Committee building a few blocks away.

Harris was evacuated from the DNC around 1:17 p.m.

But most Americans have never heard of this incident because regime media has completely ghosted the story, leaving the heavy lifting to a few journalists, Congressmen, and influencers on the Right.

Reporters have pored over videos and documents to determine how numerous law enforcement agencies could have missed the crude device placed under a shrub between two exterior benches near the DNC entrance. One also noted not just the presence of several police officers including Secret Service agents that day but passersby who also remarkably failed to notice the pipe bomb.

Earlier this year, a video was found of bomb-sniffing canines conducting a search on two separate occasions a few hours before Harris’ arrival, but the dogs also failed to detect the explosive, which the FBI insisted was viable and deadly. Cuffari also dinged the Secret Service for not providing an explosives expert team on the site, which allegedly contributed to the security lapse.

Cuffari’s report disclosed other scandals related to January 6, particularly the criminal deletion of text messages belonging to two dozen Secret Service officials that have never been recovered.

J6 Truth Seekers Turn a Blind Eye

However the self-appointed truth seekers of J6 have ignored the report. A search for “Kamala Harris DNC Pipe Bomb,” “DHS Inspector General,” and “Joseph Cuffari” at the New York Times website did not produce a single recent article.

Ditto for CNN and MSNBC; in fact, the last time either outlet bothered to mention Kamala Harris and the DNC pipe bomb was back in 2022 during the height of the January 6 Select Committee’s hearings. One MSNBC reporter at the time said the committee planned to investigate the near-miss at the DNC; that, of course, never happened.

NBC News, which has a full-time reporter dedicated to all things January 6, has zero coverage of Cuffari’s report. A search on the website for CBS News, which also has a full-time reporter covering January 6, came up empty, too. Of the big three networks, only ABC News covered the details of Cuffari’s report related to the DNC bomb, describing the Secret Service’s failure to detect the device on several occasions with a protectee nearby as “potentially dangerous mistakes.”

And only one article appeared in the Washington Post on Cuffari’s report. Harris is mentioned in one sentence— “the explosive did not detonate, but Kamala Harris, then the vice president-elect, had walked within 20 feet of the device”—despite describing January 6 as “an assault on the Capitol by supporters of Trump, who were attempting to overthrow the 2020 election.”

Members of Congress purportedly dedicated to uncovering all the “facts” about January 6 similarly ignored the findings. Representative Bennie Thompson, chairman of the J6 committee, did not post a comment or response; neither did committee chairwoman Liz Cheney.

So, what could possibly explain the collective snub? It’s not as if the Biden regime, Democratic Party, and the media have moved on from January 6—to the contrary, the Capitol protest was supposed to be a major campaign theme this year.

Is it because a more sinister answer exists that could tell of the missing texts and absent security video—somehow the most surveilled city in America did not have a camera aimed at the outside area where the bomb was found—and by Harris herself? As many others have wondered, was Kamala’s still unexplained presence at the DNC—which coincided with the pipe bomb discovery at the RNC, the Ray Epps-led exterior breach, and the start of the joint session—part of a larger plan to initiate the fedsurrection?

And will a single reporter even bother to ask?

Loren Merchan, owner of Authentic Campaigns, nearly doubled her business from this same time two years ago. Having daddy preside over the New York trial of Donald Trump sure does help!

Democrats have paid the company owned by the politically active daughter of compromised Judge Juan Merchan at least $12.7 million in the first half of this year.

Federal election reports show Authentic Campaigns, the consulting firm owned by Loren Merchan, raked in the windfall between January 1 and July 1, 2024. Her father currently presides over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump in New York City.

Declassified with Julie Kelly is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The sum represents an 86 percent increase in Authentic Campaigns receipts from the same time period in 2022. Democratic elected officials, candidates, and PACs reported $6.8 million in payments to Merchan between January 1 and July 1, 2022, the last general election cycle.

The boom in business coincided with Trump’s six-week trial in Merchan’s Manhattan courtroom, which began on April 15. Prior to the start of the jury trial, Merchan repeatedly sided with Bragg while demonstrating open hostility to the former president. Merchan imposed a gag order early on and then proceeded to deny nearly every defense motion.

Two weeks into the trial, Merchan held Trump in contempt for violating the gag order.

Merchan, of course, should never have been near the case but he thwarted every legal attempt to get him removed.

Last year, amid details of Loren Merchan’s financial ties to top Democrats including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the judge’s own small donations to Democrats, Trump asked Merchan to step aside. “Your Honor’s daughter’s close connection to President Trump’s political adversaries and her work at, and financial interest in, a firm which is deeply engrained with Democratic politics raises real and legitimate concerns about this Court’s impartiality,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in May 2023 shortly after Merchan was assigned to handle the case. “The financial well-being of Your Honor’s daughter depends at least in part on the success of Authentic. And Authentic’s business model is one that requires it to attack President Trump and support individuals and causes in direct competition with President Trump.”

A few months later, Merchan denied Trump’s request to recuse himself. Accusations his daughter stood to profit off the case, Merchan stated, was “speculative and hypothetical.”

Once again, the Columbian-born Merchan was wrong.

A Client List or Trump Enemies List—or Both?

Some of the former president’s biggest foes are on Merchan’s growing client list. Representative Adam Schiff’s campaign has paid Merchan’s firm roughly $8 million so far this year; the Trump-Russia collusion hoaxster currently is running against former MLB player Steve Garvey to replace the late Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate.

Schiff arguably is Merchan’s most lucrative client dating back to the start of Authentic Campaigns in 2019. During his role in leading the impeachment of Trump in 2019 and 2020, Schiff paid Merchan’s firm $4 million for digital consulting and various services.

Freshman New York Congressman Dan Goldman has paid Authentic Campaigns $57,000 this year to place digital ads. Goldman, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, in November 2023 said Trump “has to be eliminated” and “cannot see public office again.” Before winning his seat in Congress, Goldman served as a lawyer on the first impeachment trial of Trump.

Other big-name clients include Democratic senators Jon Tester, Corey Booker, Tina Smith, and Tammy Baldwin; all have paid Merchan at least six figures so far this year.

After a jury convicted Trump in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the case, Booker called the verdict, “a moment of justice.” 

It appears fake kidnapping victim and Trump antagonist Gretchen Whitmer is a new Authentic Campaigns client. “Fight Like Hell,” the PAC the Michigan governor launched in 2023, is paying Merchan’s firm an $8,000 per month retainer for “digital consulting.” The first recorded payment in the amount of $76,035 from Whitmer’s PAC to Merchan is dated July 2023, three months after Judge Merchan got the case.

Another Bite of the Apple?

Trump’s sentencing was originally scheduled for this month, but Merchan postponed that proceeding until September pending consideration of a motion to vacate the conviction based on the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.

While the move may appear magnanimous, no doubt Merchan has ulterior motives in delaying the historic event until the height of the 2024 campaign season.

After all, another appearance before Trump a few months 


It all started innocently enough:

I saw that the AP Stylebook was urging us not to use the word “Popsicle,” because “Popsicle” is “a trademark for a brand of flavored ice on a stick. Use ice pop or frozen pop as the generic.”

Sure, AP Stylebook. Sure.

“Hey, kids, want a frozen pop?”

Yeah, that’s not happening.

But then it occurred to me: I’ll bet the AP Stylebook is unsound on more than just popsicles. And having looked through its Twitter account, I can report that the old man’s instincts were once again sound.

Several years ago, for example, we were treated to this little gem:

“We now say not to use the archaic and sexist term ‘mistress’ for a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with, and financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else. Instead, use an alternative like companion or lover on first reference. Provide details later.”

Well, alrighty, then.

Then we learn that we really ought to avoid the words “riot” and “rioting.” Why, you ask? Here’s why:

Focusing on rioting and property destruction rather than underlying grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching, police brutality or for racial justice, going back to the urban uprisings of the 1960s.

Unrest is a vaguer, milder and less emotional term for a condition of angry discontent and protest verging on revolt.

Super.

So you can call something a riot as long as the AP disapproves of the motivations of the people involved.

I did recall the AP Stylebook taking a unpopular but very sound stance back in 2012 when it removed words like “homophobia” and “Islamophobia.”

The suffix “-phobia” refers to “an irrational, uncontrollable fear, often a form of mental illness,” and thus should not be used “in political or social contexts,” said the Stylebook.

“Homophobia especially — it’s just off the mark,” said AP Deputy Standards Editor Dave Minthorn. “It’s ascribing a mental disability to someone.” My thoughts exactly. Someone who disagrees with you or dislikes you does not have a clinical disorder, even if the left likes to treat dissidents as if they do.

Well, that didn’t last long. By 2017 the Stylebook was saying that “homophobia” and “homophobic” were “acceptable in broad references or in quotations to the concept of fear or hatred of gays, lesbians and bisexuals.”

Now of course it’s normal for new words to come into use, or older words to acquire new shades of meaning over time. This is all part of the organic development of a language. But there is nothing organic about what the political class wants to do to the English language.

Just think of what’s been done to the word “violence.” We’re told that unkind words are “violence.” We’re told that “silence is violence.” Or bigotry is “violence.”

“White supremacy” doesn’t mean anything at all at this point. Punctuality, professionalism, eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and dozens of other positive goods have been condemned as white supremacist or racist.

How can we talk to each other when crucial words we need to use carry weird and ever-changing ideological baggage? Will the word ‘weird’ be next? Stay tuned guys and gals. Stay tuned!

For the fourth time in the past year, a team of leading scientists has proven that the theory of manmade climate change is completely fake. The “science” that underpins the unproven theory of global warming is deeply flawed and cannot be replicated in any laboratory. If you believe that global warming is real, you should start seeing a cult deprogrammer; you have been brainwashed by a religious movement that does not have your family’s best interests at heart. If you’re interested in real science as it applies to the contained atmosphere on planet Earth and you’re open to the possibility that global warming is fake, keep reading.

A team of physicists at the Institute of Optoelectronics at the Military University of Technology in Warsaw just published their latest research in the journal Science Direct. Their published and peer-reviewed study is titled, “Climatic consequences of the process of saturation of radiation absorption in gases.”

The scientists looked at the addition of manmade carbon dioxide (CO2 emissions) and analyzed the effects of the gas on radiation (heat) absorption within a contained atmosphere. What they found is that CO2 blocks heat on a spectrum. After a certain point, CO2 reaches a saturation limit and is incapable of trapping any heat beyond that.

A simple example of the saturation effect is the insulation in your home’s attic. When you apply one layer of insulation, it helps to trap heat in your home and keep it warmer during the winter. If you apply a second layer of insulation, it might make a small bit of additional difference. If you apply five, ten, or more layers of insulation, it eventually doesn’t trap any more heat because it has reached the saturation point.

This is exactly how the researchers say that carbon dioxide functions in the atmosphere. It reaches a saturation point when carbon dioxide is around 300 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere. What this means in practical terms is that if we dug up every last ounce of coal and sucked every last drop of oil from the earth, put them in a big pile, and lit them on fire, the CO2 emissions could not cause the temperature of the Earth to increase one iota.

The Earth’s atmosphere reached 300 ppm of carbon dioxide way back in 1950—around 74 years ago. Today, the CO2 level in the atmosphere is around 430 ppm. None of the carbon pumped into the atmosphere since 1950 has made any difference in global temperatures.

This is the fourth time in the past year that physicists have applied their principles to carbon dioxide to determine whether it is impacting global temperatures or climate. All four independent teams of physicists have reached the same conclusion, meaning that this research is replicable and therefore is most likely scientifically true.

One of the main principles of science is that your hypothesis must be able to withstand rigorous scrutiny from other researchers. If they conduct the same experiments and come to the same conclusion, your theory (hypothesis) is likely true. No prediction that has ever been made by the climate alarmists has ever come true. Research into the saturation effect of CO2 has come to the same conclusion every time. CO2 is not a greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions cannot impact global temperatures or the Earth’s climate.

The theory of manmade global warming is fake. Check your child’s science textbook at school. It likely says that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that if we do not “act now,” we’ll all die from hot weather at some mysterious point in the future. Parents should demand that school districts teach real science to their kids, which is that CO2 cannot impact temperatures and that global warming is fake.
