In short, even the WEF / IMF goons bring up the fact that CBDC's can be used to ration, not allow you to buy things they don't like, assign carbon credits to your purchases, have an expiration date, etc.

If you want no freedom, support the CBDC's. Listen to what he says, In his opinion a "Better but some people say Darker World" (Yeah, he said it, this is what he would like to see) would where the government tells you what you can and can't buy.... he even says Ammunition as one of his examples"

Quote:Speaking at the WEF, former head of the IMF's China division, Eswar Prasad: CBDC will be programmable, in a way that will enable governments to dictate how, when, where, on what and by whom they can be spent, including the imposition of expiry dates.

CBDCs are a totalitarian's wet dream, and would enable governments to centrally enforce tyrannical policies on an industrial scale—at the flick of a switch—without the need for human enforcement agents.

Not "up to date" with your injections? Exceeded your weekly carbon allowance? Ventured outside of your designated '15 minute' district? Oops, no money for you!

So I guess dogs are more important then humans. 



 A vaccine used to protect dogs against a potentially fatal bacterial disease has been voluntarily recalled, following the death of a dog.

Key points:

• There has been a voluntary recall by the manufacturer of a vaccine used to protect dogs against the bacterial disease leptospirosis
  
• One dog has died and seven others have had "adverse reactions" within hours of receiving the Treidlia Auslepto vaccine
  
• The recall comes after an ongoing leptospirosis vaccine shortage, which started last year
  

The Thai's are lucky in that they celebrate their own valentine's day and also the normal American day too. I have received 12 invites so far (Caddies) not including the family for going out tonight.

 One thing some have started doing is making their floats out of a special fish food so that when the float gets soaked after about an hour it sinks and makes the fish happy too !!

Florida’s Office of Election Crimes and Security Director Peter Antonacci, DeSantis' appointee for overseeing "election integrity" stormed out of a contentious meeting in the governor's office, collapsed in the hallway, and lay on the ground dying for 20+ minutes before anyone noticed. By then it was too late.

Quote:Peter Antonacci, Gov. Ron DeSantis’s handpicked choice last year to lead the state’s controversial new elections fraud office, collapsed and died in a hallway in the governor’s office moments after “abruptly” leaving a contentious meeting on Sept. 23, 2022.

That Antonacci, 74, was stricken in the governor’s office was kept secret at the time. Instead, authorities only said he died while at work in the Capitol building, of which the governor’s office is a part.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement records released to Florida Bulldog also say Antonacci lay dead or dying on the hallway floor of the governor’s office for more than 20 minutes before anyone apparently noticed and came to his aid. More precisely, 24 minutes, in a hallway under real time video-only surveillance.

By the time a Capitol police officer arrived a minute or two later and hooked the pulseless Antonacci up to an automated external defibrillator (AED), the machine that can administer a life-saving electrical shock to victims of sudden cardiac arrest, assessed Antonacci and advised that “no shock” was needed.

The meeting Antonacci attended that day was in a conference room in the governor’s office. An FDLE report says the attendees were Secretary of State James “Cord” Byrd, his general counsel Bradley McVay, FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass, FDLE Chief of Staff Shane Desguin, FDLE director of executive investigations Scott McInerney, Antonacci’s deputy Scott Strauss and two men and three women tagged only as “unidentified.” Elsewhere, however, one attendee is identified as FDLE general counsel Ryan Newman.

The FDLE reports, which you can read here, say that cameras in the meeting room and the hallway captured video of what happened, but no audio. Investigating FDLE Agent Larry Shallar watched the video. “At approximately 1:46 p.m., Mr. Antonacci is observed standing up and walking out of the conference room [WORDS REDACTED],” his report says. “Upon exiting the conference room, Mr. Antonacci is observed staggering as he moved forward until he collapsed to the floor. Mr. Antonacci did not appear to move once he collapsed to the floor.

The meeting’s agenda and what was discussed are not mentioned in the five reports. DeSantis, with the Legislature’s approval, established the Office of Election Crimes and Security to maintain “election integrity” in the wake of ex-President Donald Trump’s drumbeat of unsupported claims that his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden was the result of voter fraud.

WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS

“At approximately 2:10 p.m. FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass is observed responding to Mr. Antonacci on the floor and initiated life saving measures (CPR; cardiopulmonary resuscitation) with the assistance of FDLE Chief of Staff Shane Desguin. At approximately 2:11 p.m. FDLE Capitol Police is observed responding to Mr. Antonacci with the AED (automated external defibrillator) and assisting with life saving measures until Leon County Emergency Medical Services arrived,” Shallar’s report says.

Florida Bulldog requested the FDLE’s public records in February after receiving a tip that Antonacci had died in the governor’s office following an argument with DeSantis. The FDLE reports, however, make no mention of DeSantis being present.

Detailed requests for public records about the meeting were also sent to Secretary of State James “Cord” Byrd, who attended the meeting and oversees the Office of Election Crimes and Security, and the governor’s Office of Open Government in October have yet to draw a substantive response.

The FDLE released 17 redacted pages. To justify the redactions, FDLE Assistant General Counsel Janine Robinson cited state laws that exempt from disclosure certain security and fire safety information, as well as the names of family of exempt personnel. The context of the redactions, however, did not plainly show how they qualified for exemptions. The redacted information appeared mostly to refer to the spot where Antonacci collapsed.

Security cameras video reviewed by investigating FDLE agents, and still photographs they took at the scene, were completely withheld. Robinson said they would not be made public because they are subject to the same security and fire safety exemption, or the privacy provisions of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA).

COULD ANTONACCI HAVE BEEN SAVED?

Antonacci, who served as Broward’s Supervisor of Elections from 2018-2020, had a reputation as as political “Mr. Fix-It.” He was appointed by DeSantis in July 2022 as the state’s first director of the Office of Election Crimes and Security. Before that, he’d handled a range of political assignments under Republican and Democratic administrations. His peripatetic career included job titles like statewide prosecutor, deputy attorney general, CEO of Enterprise Florida, general counsel to Gov. Rick Scott, Palm Beach state attorney, executive director of the South Florida Water Management District and chief judge of the Division of Administrative Hearings.

While the FDLE reports include such mundane observations as how Antonacci was dressed –
“a sky blue shirt, dark blue dress coat, and gray dress pants” – they stand out for what’s missing: the identities of everyone attending the meeting and any inquiry as to why Antonacci lay undiscovered on the hallway floor for so long.

The immediate question: Could Antonacci have been saved by quicker action?

“Commissioner Glass stated they were talking there for approximately a minute or so and General Counsel Newman started to depart when he looked down the hallway toward the doorway going into the [WORDS REDACTED]. Commissioner Glass stated when looking down the hallway he observed what appeared to be dark slacks and black shoes laying on the ground toes face down…He stated he observed from the hip back and he looked at General Counsel Newman asking if that was Mr. Antonacci.” The two men then ran over to Antonacci, rolled him over on his left side “putting him in a breathing position to allow him to get maximum air” before rolling him on his back and starting chest compressions.

In an interview with FDLE investigators that day, FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass told how about 25 minutes after Antonacci departed the room he stepped into the hallway to talk with his general counsel, Ryan Newman.

When Antonacci fell he hit his forehead head on the corner of a door or a doorknob. There as a small, bleeding cut. Glass said Antonacci’s face “was purple and blue.” Glass checked for a pulse and found none, the report says.

FDLE CHIEF OF STAFF HEARD ‘THUD’

Glass yelled twice for Chief of Staff Desguin. Desguin told investigators that once he heard Glass “he knew at that point something was wrong based on Commissioner Glass’ tone of voice and due to him hearing a thud at some point.”

At first, the report says, Desguin “advised everyone to stay in the room because he didn’t know if Commissioner Glass was hurt or someone had breached the Governor’s Office.” He then “started to remove his duty firearm from its holster, but returned his duty firearm to its holster when he exited the door and observed Commissioner Glass on his knees over Mr. Antonacci.”

Desguin said his boss instructed him to “get 911” and an AED machine. He left the hallway and summoned help. Desguin told investigators: “The AED was applied and activated and advised it could not produce a shock.” Desguin and Glass rotated chest compressions for six to eight minutes, and initiated use of an “Ambu Bag,” or artificial manual breathing unit, until EMS arrived.

“Desguin stated during the meeting Mr. Antonacci had moments of being frustrated with parts of the meeting or the way the meeting was going,” the report says. But Desguin added that he observed no “signs of Mr. Antonacci having a medical issue.”

FDLE Director Scott McInerney told a similar story, saying an “agitated” Antonacci had “abruptly” risen from his seat and walked out. Agents, however, did not appear to bore down on the question as to why Antonacci became upset.

Like Desguin, McInerney unholstered his weapon after Glass call out, thinking there was possibly an active shooter.

“Director McInerney stated the room had approximately 10 to 15 people in it and they were giving them directions to stay back. (He) stated some of the individuals began to get under the conference room table.”

MEDICAL EXAMINER NOT CALLED

The FDLE reports caution that the report’s references to the statements of Glass, Desguin and McInerney were synopses. The FDLE did not release either transcripts or audio recordings of their interviews and gave no reason for that omission.

Antonacci was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital where, at 2:47 p.m., he was pronounced dead by an emergency room physician identified in the report as Dr. Escobar.


The report says that Antonacci’s widow, Tallahassee lawyer Anne Longman, and his primary physician, Dr. Stacia Groll, stated that Antonacci “had a long history of heart disease and cardiac issues that resulted in several surgeries. Based on this medical history, Dr. Groll was willing and did sign off on the death certificate.”

Still, a Florida medical examiner who spoke with Florida Bulldog said that given the circumstances it was unusual that no autopsy was performed.

“I’m wondering why he didn’t go through the medical examiner’s office seeing that he died in the governor’s office. Wouldn’t they want to do that, just to CYA? I mean, gosh, [Gov. Lawton] Chiles died at the executive mansion and he went through the medical examiner’s office.”

Chiles died Dec. 12, 1998 after suffering a heart arrythmia, apparently while exercising.

Culture cracking.

Quote:Margaret Mead is well-known for her studies about sexual attitudes in the South Pacific. So RAND might have seemed like an odd fit for this cultural anthropologist.

But during World War II, Mead successfully lobbied the government to include anthropologists in the war effort to help understand enemies and allies. She began using anthropological techniques to characterize entire civilizations from afar. After the war, she and her husband had already written “national character” studies of Americans and Britons. At RAND from 1948 to 1950, she turned to the USSR.

To accomplish what she called “culture cracking,” Mead looked to Russian emigres, books, journals, archives, and films for answers since the Soviet Union was inaccessible. The result, Soviet Attitudes Toward Authority: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Problems of Soviet Character, examines the discrepancy between Bolshevik ideals and Soviet reality. It ends with Mead predicting the USSR's future strengths as well as weaknesses that the United States might exploit.

The study met with mixed reviews. “The study is blood chilling and strips bare our chiefest enemy,” the Omaha World-Herald breathlessly reported. Another reviewer wrote: “Europeans have their views about the American habit of putting one's legs on tables, about American admiration for Coca-Cola and chewing gum … But nobody would consider these features part of a serious study of the ‘traditional American character.’”

Mead soon moved on from conducting national character studies to becoming a national character herself, advocating for women's rights, more sexual freedom, better race relations, and solutions to pollution and world hunger.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world,” Mead is famously quoted as saying. “Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Quote:The U.S. Is Paying Billions to Russia’s Nuclear Agency. Here’s Why.

Nuclear power companies rely on cheap enriched uranium made in Russia. That geopolitical dilemma is intensifying as climate change underscores the need for emissions-free energy.

In a cavernous, Pentagon-sized facility nestled in an Appalachian valley, thousands upon thousands of empty holes line the bare concrete floor.
A mere 16 of them house the spindly, 30-foot-tall centrifuges that enrich uranium, converting it into the key ingredient that fuels nuclear power plants. And for now, they are dormant.

But if each hole housed a working centrifuge, the facility could get the United States out of a predicament that has implications for both the war in Ukraine and for America’s transition away from burning fossil fuels. Today, American companies are paying around $1 billion a year to Russia’s state-owned nuclear agency to buy the fuel that generates more than half of the United States’ emissions-free energy.

It is one of the most significant remaining flows of money from the United States to Russia, and it continues despite strenuous efforts among U.S. allies to sever economic ties with Moscow. The enriched uranium payments are made to subsidiaries of Rosatom, which in turn is closely intertwined with Russia’s military apparatus.

...

One American company, TerraPower, which was founded by Bill Gates, has had to delay the opening of what could be the United States’ first new-age nuclear plant by at least two years in part because it has pledged to not use Russian enriched uranium.

TerraPower’s facility will be built on the site of a coal-burning plant in remote Kemmerer, Wyo., to be decommissioned in 2025. TerraPower has promised jobs and retraining for all the coal plant’s workers. But the delays have left some in Kemmerer with doubts.

Quote:Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Pfizer and one of its suppliers in a case unsealed Monday, alleging they defrauded Medicaid by manipulating quality control tests to hide deficiencies in a drug prescribed to children with attention deficit disorder.
The suit filed in Harrison County alleged that Pfizer and Tris Pharma doctored quality-control tests for the drug Quillivant XR between 2012 and 2018 to hide that the medicine failed to dissolve like promised, and Pfizer then persuaded Texas' Medicaid program to add Quillivant to its list of preferred drugs.
“At no point did Defendants warn Texas Medicaid providers or decision-makers that Quillivant had known manufacturing issues affecting its efficacy, thereby depriving the Medicaid program of the crucial information it relies on,” the suit said. 
“As a result, thousands of Texas children received an adulterated Schedule II Controlled Dangerous Substance,” it added.
You can read the suit here.

Pfizer, Tris, Mehta File Stamped.pdf
The lawsuit did not specify the damages the state is seeking.
Paxton said his office received numerous reports from parents claiming the drug was not effective on their children.
"I am horrified by the dishonesty we uncovered in this investigation," the attorney general said. “Pfizer and Tris intentionally concealed and failed to disclose the issues with Quillivant to receive taxpayer funded benefits through Texas Medicaid, defrauding the state and endangering children.”

Actually not surprised. Not one bit.


For the first time in American history, any reference to God has been omitted from the annual Presidential Thanksgiving proclamation

Biden Officially Attempts to Remove God From Thanksgiving With 2023 Proclamation

https://ijr.com/biden-officially-attempt...clamation/

Quote:When we say the word “Thanks-giving,” it presumes the giving of thanks.

But to whom is that thanks given?


Since the first Thanksgiving on Plymouth Rock and its subsequent establishment as a day of thanks on Oct. 3, 1789, the recipient of that thanks on behalf of the United States of America has always been God.
But in keeping with the destruction of everything good and virtuous in this nation, this year, God has been removed as the recipient of thanks on Thanksgiving.


On Wednesday, President Biden released his Thanksgiving proclamation for 2023.


For the first time in American history, the proclamation completely omitted any reference to God or faith.
While some president’s speeches may have been more devout than others over the years, Biden is the first president to delete God from his Thanksgiving proclamation altogether.
Sadly, Thanksgiving has been becoming a more secular holiday with every passing year, and it seems like Biden decided to put the final nail in the coffin.

If we cannot even name the ultimate Source in which all Americans, regardless of creed, are rooted historically, we are adrift from the moorings with no destination and no anchor to hold us firm.

US high school students rioting and threatening a female teacher and her family. The crap is so bad that the Counter Terrorism Unit is investigating because this is not acceptable behavior. 

Half of these shits should be charged and thrown in Juvi where they may learn a lesson before it is too late.

Frightening: Students Rampage Thru High School to Hunt Down Teacher for Going to Pro-Israel Rally

Quote:Students at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica, Queens learned that one of their Jewish teachers had attended a pro-Israel rally and held up an "I stand with Israel" sign because they saw it on her Facebook. 
“The teacher was seen holding a sign of Israel, like supporting it,” a senior told The Post this week.

“A bunch of kids decided to make a group chat, expose her, talk about it, and then talk about starting a riot.”


Check that "expose her" -- for being supportive of a country attacked by terrorists, who just had more than 1200 people murdered and citizens kidnapped. They planned a riot. 

They then carried out the riot inside the high school. They "ran amok," rampaging through the hallways, jumping and shouting, and waving Palestinian flags. 

They then tried to get into the teacher's classroom, screaming "Free Palestine!" and "[The teacher] needs to go!" Staffers had to block them from getting into the classroom. The staff had figured out what the students planned just in time to rush the teacher into a locked office where she could hide.


The students also posted TikTok videos of their rioting and praised each other, one even calling the teacher a "cracker a** b**ch."  The person who used that term termed the teacher's support of Israel "hate." Another said "Zionists" shouldn't be teaching anyone and shouldn't be around children, since they liked to bomb them. You can see a couple of the videos here and here, it looks crazy. One even has the antisemitic "From the river to the sea" plastered across it.  These kids need a serious education. 

The NYPD not only sent a couple dozen cops to restore order, but tapped its counterterrorism bureau to investigate a possible threat against the school, according to City Councilman James Gennaro (D-Queens), citing officials. 

“Whether it was one student or multiple students who did or said something, whatever the trigger was, something happened. And I know from my many years on the City Council that the counterterrorism task force is not engaged unless they believe it is potentially a serious situation,” Gennaro said.



Police had to escort the teacher out of the building while staff struggled to get all the students back in the classrooms. This is the frightening stuff of pogroms when you have mobs acting like this. 

Students told the Post that that other students had tracked down where she lived, her phone number, even her family and had called her up and said "bad things." 

The teacher said she'd taught there for seven years and "was shaken to my core by the calls to violence against me that occurred online and outside my classroom last week.” “No one should ever feel unsafe at school," the teacher said. 
It's not clear what consequences the students will face yet for this horrifying action although"at least three students who organized the riot face superintendent’s suspensions, the most severe punishment," a source said.  

Nice little video on actions and Karma's reaction...Would be a better world if there were more believers IMO.
