| Hong Kong learns the hard way: Virus gonna virus, and Zero Covid just makes it virus harderAlex BerensonMar 14 Zero Covid now equals more Covid later.The clearest proof yet of the failure of lockdowns and Zero Covid as a long-term strategy against the coronavirus is now unfolding in Hong Kong. The territory is suffering the worst coronavirus epidemic anywhere since New York City in April 2020. For two weeks straight Hong Kong has had the equivalent of 10,000 American deaths a day.The breakdown comes after almost two years when Hong Kong tried everything possible to keep Covid out, including aggressive contact tracing, border controls, and rules on gatherings. It damaged its economy, made residents miserable, and drove away expatriates.And it succeeded. As of late 2021, Sars-Cov-2 had infected barely 1 out of every 1,000 Hong Kong residents, a peer-reviewed study revealed.Now Sars-Cov-2 is catching up, all at once – even though Hong Kong is highly vaccinated. Since the beginning of March, the city, which has 7.4 million residents, has had over 3,500 Covid deaths. That figure would translate into over 150,000 Covid deaths in the United States – in two weeks.When Zero Covid goes bad:—The crisis in Hong Kong carries serious implications for China, which after two years of chasing zero Covid is seeing the start of an outbreak that it may not be able to control no matter how hard it locks down.The spiraling death toll also proves – again – the limits of vaccines against Covid. More than 80 percent of adults in Hong Kong have received either mRNA or Chinese vaccines, though the city’s eldest residents are bizarrely enough the least likely to be vaccinated.The crisis is unlikely to ease soon. After falling last week, new infections rose again Monday, to 26,000 – the equivalent of more than 1 million in the United States. Authorities predict thousands more deaths through April.The death toll is especially stunning because the cases are essentially all Omicron, which is milder that earlier variants. Also, Hong Kong has almost no obesity, which trails only age as a risk factor for Covid. About 3 percent of adults in Hong Kong are obese, compared to 40 percent of Americans.Further, physicians have the benefit of two years of treating Covid cases. They are no longer killing patients by putting them on ventilators too aggressively, a mistake that significantly increased the death total in New York in 2020.—Western media outlets have written only sporadically about the crisis in Hong Kong, and when they have they have generally put the blame on the fact that elderly residents in the territory have much lower vaccination rates than younger adults.Those stories are accurate.The rates of vaccination in people over 80 in Hong Kong have been bizarrely low – only about 35 percent of have received two vaccine doses – and it is not clear why. Hong Kong is now an authoritarian state and under increasingly strict and direct Chinese control.Along with its strict anti-Covid rules, the territory has reported arresting more than 10,000 people for anti-government protests and prosecuted at least 2,500 of them. So why Hong Kong’s public health authorities were unable or unwilling to vaccinate elderly people – who have successfully been the focus of vaccination everywhere else in the world – remains a mystery.Now Hong Kong is struggling to vaccinate people 80 and over. But in the short run its efforts may only be making matters worse, because of the fact that the first Covid vaccine dose actually raises infection risk – an effect seen in Britain and elsewhere more than a year ago. Meanwhile, with so many people being infected so quickly, a relatively high number of vaccinated people are also dying.Meanwhile, across the border in China, Covid infections are accelerating. -The sudden surge may be both a medical and political problem for the People’s Republic.Medical because China’s hospitals are less advanced than Hong Kong’s and may have even more trouble coping with an Omicron wave in a population that has no natural immunity to slow the spread. And political because China has leaned hard on its success against Covid as yet more evidence that freedom is overrated and Xi is the best Supreme Leader in the history of Supreme Leaders.China has – inevitably – responded with another wave of lockdowns. But it may be about to learn that Zero Covid – like the fentanyl its factories export to the United States – is easy to start and hard to quit.See the discussionLikeShare |

Biden Criminal Activities – If the Democrats do not go along with Impeaching Biden and Harris they Are accelerating the destruction of the United States
Biden is certainly allowing Russia and China to blackmail him for the billion of $ they funneled to Hunter Biden (and then most assuredly) to the “Big Guy” as Hunter referred to him in emails.
Russia and China are getting their moneys worth.
IRAN has shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” for decades ever since the Iranian Revolution, yet Biden cancels all the Trump sanctions on Iran (which were crippling the country) the week he is elected and now Russia is Negotiating on behalf of the United States, in the Vienna talks to re-instate what Trump canceled. The Russian / Biden negotiations will allow Iran to even develop a nuclear bomb much faster, pay Iran $100 billion, which will allow Iran to continue its financing of worldwide financing of Terror.
Meanwhile Russia invades a neighboring peaceful country, Ukraine, and is bombing Ukraine back to the stone age and committing war crimes by targeting women, children, maternity and regular hospitals, schools, churches an civilian convoys and residential buildings. And Biden cancels the Polish MIG 19 transfer to assist Ukraine assuring more death and destruction to Ukraine.
Russia or Putin is so emboldened by the lack of any deterrence by Biden that he is actually hiring mercenaries and asking China to help fight Ukraine.
Meanwhile Biden sanctions and restrictions on US oil companies and tries to get our enemies to send more oil to the US. US oil production is down by 2 million barrels per day from a year ago when the US was a net energy exporter under Trump 14 months ago. This forcing oil prices to increase by over 100% in weeks. All this is because Biden is beholden to the “climate change hoax promoters”. It is obvious that Biden policies are AGAINST the USA and benefit foreign enemies
Then, to top it off Biden refuses to finish the Mexico border wall has literally opened the southern border to Mexico allowing 200,000 illegals to cross the border every month since he has been in office. All this promoting more votes for “THE PARTY”.
The only good news from all this is: Putin is done, toast, finito AT SOME POINT, and maybe America and the world will wake up.
Please God……………….. help us all

Electric Car Boneyard Paris France
Electric Car Bone Yard – France
Wake-up call!
This is a boneyard near Paris, France with hundreds of electric-powered cars.
Mind you these are only cars used by the City of Paris and not personal vehicles.
All of these have the same issue … the battery storage cells have given out and need to be replaced.
Why not just replace them you ask? Well, two reasons.
First, replacement battery storage cells cost more than half the new vehicle cost (this is why for many EV models, the price is more, approximately, double the cost of a petrol/diesel model), and Second, no landfill or disposal site will accept the batteries.
So these green, fairy tale electric cars are all sitting in vacant lots while their batteries drain toxins into the ground.
Still, think we need to go green right now???

Biden Orders Severe Sanctions on USA Oil Companies and has NO Sanctions on Russian Oil Companies – Biden Allows the “new green deal” to Threaten America and Europe –
Is Putin is too far in to loose face and leave Ukraine? Is it to late to avoid an excruciating bloodbath?
What can be done?
The US became a net exporter of petroleum in 2020 (under Trump as President) for the first time in history. After one year with Biden closing down Alaska drilling, Federal Oil leases, banning fracking, and closing down oil pipe line, the US oil production is now 2 million barrels per day less than it was a year ago, and we are now buying oil from Russia, Iran and others just to supply demand. This is fine with the climate change hoax fanatics because they want to eliminate fossil fuels energy by 100% and create all energy from the wind and he sun. In other words, they want to completely destroy the US economy so they will not upset the “global warming hoax crowd”.
Currently the US buys 672,000 barrels of oil from Russia. That is 245,000,000 barrels per year or $27 billion per year paid by us in America to Russia for Oil. (@ $110 / barrel) That represents over 7% of the entire GNP of Russia Exports of $397 billion / year.
China currently imports 16.5 billion cubic feet of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) from Russia at close to $.95 / cubic foot that puts another $16 billion in Russia. This is expected to double with a new pipeline in several years.
Meanwhile, just as the US was becoming self sufficient in energy and selling LNG and oil to western Europe, Biden slams US oil companies with more executive order sanctions in 2021 and USA production drops by 2 million (barrels or equivalent cubic feet per year) forcing Western Europe to buy more LNG and oil from Russia. Then last week Russia invades Ukraine forcing Germany and others in Europe to say they will respond by not turning on the new pipeline from Russia.
Thus, Western Europe is held hostage by Russia. They must decide between astronomic energy prices because of low supply, freezing temperatures and sticking to their morals or accepting the blackmailing of Russia, open the pipeline and pay Russia additional billions of $ for energy.
The best solution to all that is going on would be for Biden to go back to the Trump energy plan, removing all sanctions he imposed in his first week as president so the US would again be 100% energy self sufficient, Western Europe and the US would not be forced to buy Russian oil, they would buy Oil from the US. This would dramatically reduce the price of energy in the US and Western Europe and be a big step in crushing the Russian economy which is largely a petroleum based economy.
Until this is done Biden is aiding our enemy , Russia, while they invade our ally, Ukraine.
The problem here is the Biden people care more for the “global warming hoax” far left of the democratic party than they care about the American people.

The State of the Union (if Biden told the truth – by Simon Black)
 |
| March 1, 2022My fellow Americans.Now that my approval ratings are roughly at the same level as my blood pressure, i.e. barely detectable, and my credibility is nonexistent, I thought I might actually try being honest for a change about the real State of the Union. Just over a year ago when I took oath of office, I talked about “the common objects we love that define us as Americans. . . Opportunity. Security. Liberty. Dignity. Respect. Honor. And yes, the truth.”So let me describe to you the State of our Union in those terms:First, opportunity.Under my leadership, inflation has reached a 40+ year high and shows no signs of abating.I’ve also demonstrated how serious I am about fighting inflation by re-appointing the very same Federal Reserve officials who created the inflation to begin with, to another four-year term.Further, the supply chain crisis we engineered from our cascading failures of labor policy, environmental policy, trade policy, monetary policy, and public health policy, also shows little sign of resolving.We’ve also been instrumental in destroying the labor market and making it virtually impossible to find workers.Plus my administration continues to impose new regulations by the day, threaten new taxes, and put out unintelligible public health policies, that make things especially difficult for small and medium-sized businesses.But at least Pfizer’s profits are at a record high.Second, security.Our southern border was overwhelmed with countless migrants almost literally the moment I took office. We continue to ignore this growing crisis.Similarly, we choose to ignore soaring rates of murder in America’s cities.As Commander-in-Chief, I ordered the US military to hastily withdraw from Afghanistan without sufficient time to make adequate preparations. As a result, the entire world witnessed one of the most disgraceful, shameful events in US history as we left behind our citizens, our allies, and tens of billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded military equipment to our sworn enemy.I tried making up for this personal and national humiliation by trying to outmaneuver Vladimir Putin over Ukraine.My son Hunter and I obviously have a soft spot for Ukraine. But my real priority was using Putin’s military buildup as an opportunity to appear strong again, and hopefully boost my sagging poll numbers. Despite my years of foreign policy experience, I failed to foresee the consequences of provoking Putin, pushing him into a corner, and essentially daring him to invade.(And now, by the way, as we are pushing Russia out of the SWIFT international banking platform, I am also failing to foresee the obvious risk of Putin hacking it. But more on that another time…)You may recall that, while I was hiding in my basement during the 2020 Presidential campaign, I promised voters a “steady hand” when it came to diplomacy and national security.Well, this is what 5 decades of government experience gets you.Third, liberty.We continue to foster a climate where the government tells you what you’re supposed to believe, what you have to put in your body, and how you’re allowed to educate your children.We think nothing of imposing illegal, unconstitutional mandates, and handing public health bureaucrats the authority to regulate everything from nationwide commerce to the entire US housing market.Justin Trudeau recently set a fantastic example for us to follow when it comes to individual freedom, and so we’re working hard to become Canada as quickly as possible.Fourth, dignity and respect.I promised the American people unity in my inaugural address. I said that “we must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.”Naturally I have completely abandoned that promise. Not only have I failed to rein in the intolerant, out-of-control leftist puritans waging cultural genocide across America, but I set a clear example for them by labeling my ideological opponents as White Supremacists.I call legislation I don’t like “Jim Crow 2.0”. And I encourage federal police agencies to investigate parents who don’t want Critical Race Theory taught to their children in public schools.Fifth, honor.My short time in office has brought extreme dishonor upon the reputation of the United States. In addition to the humiliation in Afghanistan, the rest of the world must be in shock as they see the constant chaos and absurdity of our government.We are more consumed by pronouns than progress. We publicly embrace Marxist ideologies. We push our intelligence agencies to prioritize diversity and inclusion over national security. We deliberately undercut our ally—the French—to do a submarine deal with Australia that provided absolutely zero benefit to our nation.And just recently our public debt reached a whopping $30 trillion… which hardly brings any honor or esteem to our nation.Last but not least, truth.I told Americans last year during my inauguration that “each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans. . . to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.”That’s why my administration has worked diligently to suppress free speech. We believe that #science has only one authority figure, and anyone who disagrees with his eminence, Lord Protector Fauci, is guilty of misinformation.For that reason we enlisted the support of Big Tech to remove posts and terminate user accounts upon our request.We claim that we love democracy so much, yet we continue to assert federal control over state and local elections. One of our goals is to squash any state law requiring voters to present valid identification before being allowed to cast their ballots.Requiring identification would help reduce voter fraud and increase election security. But we like voter fraud… so we’re opposed to any identification requirement and label them as racist.We also rely on the mainstream media, which absurdly claims to be objective and unbiased, to reinforce our ridiculous propaganda. They do so willingly and voluntarily, refraining from holding me accountable or asking any difficult questions whatsoever.This, my fellow Americans, is the real State of our Union.(Tonight, however, I’m going to tell a bunch of pathetic lies that no one will believe about what a great job I’m doing.)And if you feel a bit down about the State of our Union, just remember– I’ll still be President for another 3 years, 10 months, 19 days. We have a looooong way to go.To your freedom, |
