The Latest Climate Propaganda Tool: Attributing Deaths to Climate Change

When coroners fill out death certificates, there are many causes for a person’s demise that all of us are far too aware of. Heart disease, cancer, and gunshot wounds leave little doubt as to what is responsible for death.

Now, many climate activists are seriously suggesting that climate change brought on by mankind’s emissions of fossil fuels start being mentioned as a cause of death, or at least be listed as a contributing factor.

A recent article by Steve Goreham, which appeared in the Washington Examiner, makes the point that the “climate deaths” trope may be the next propaganda tool in the climate hysteria movement’s arsenal.

According to Goreham, climate alarmists “appear to believe that if people see a daily announcement of climate deaths, they will be more inclined to accept climate change policies.”


New York City To Give Illegals Debit Cards Worth $10,000 Each

According to a report by the New York Post, Democrat Mayor Eric Adams wants the illegal border crossers to get the free cash in the form of pre-paid cash cards:

Unusually for the mayor, Adams didn’t publicize this story himself, and his administration has for nearly a month failed to correct several public misperceptions about it.

One misperception is that the program allows the city to give out just $50 million to migrants.

No wonder the mayor has been reticent.

This debit-card program — if you read the actual contract — has the potential to become an open-ended, multi-billion-dollar Bermuda Triangle of disappearing, untraceable cash, used for any purpose.

It will give migrants up to $10,000 each in taxpayer money with no ID check, no restrictions and no fraud control.

Covid mRNA Vaccinated Emit Strange Fluorescent Glow under UV Light

New research has sent shockwaves through the scientific community after it revealed that people who have received Covid mRNA shots emit a strange fluorescent glow under certain ultraviolet (UV) light.

The glow appears as tiny dots on the skin that appear to move around on their own.

The disturbing discovery was made by Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea.

Her work is shown through scientific testing and backed up by government and NGO documentation.

New research shows that those who received the Covid shots emit a fluorescent orange glow in their faces that is visible under a UV light of 365 nano-meters.


Amazon Driver Charged by NYC Police for Fending Off Lewd Attack from Drunk, Naked Illegal Alien

The incident took place near 9 Hall Street, a taxpayer-funded shelter where the 26-year-old migrant, identified as Yeison Sanchez, lives, police said.

Abu said he told Sanchez to stop what he was doing, and that was when the situation started to escalate.

“He’s in the corner of the street j—ing off and I told him, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’

“And he went into my van where all my mail and everything was at, and I pushed him away, and he ran towards me like he was going to aggressively hit me.”

Abu said he then picked up a piece of ice from the ground and used it to hit the flashing illegal alien in order to protect himself.

“I picked up a piece and I socked him with it and he went down on his butt,” said Abu.

Abu said he then spotted police nearby and called on them to help him.

Blood clots, neurological disorders, and swollen hearts: Multinational study on COVID vaccines paints a damning picture

Those skeptical of the assertion that COVID-19 vaccines were altogether safe and effective — a claim long advanced by once-trusted government agenciespharmaceutical companies, and the media amidst a historic censorship campaign targeting dissenters and critics — appear to have had their doubts once again validated.

A damning new peer-reviewed multinational study examining data from nearly 100 million people has not only affirmed the well-documented link between the COVID-19 vaccines and increased risk of heart conditions but has also highlighted troubling links between the AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Pfizer vaccines and medical conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, brain and spinal cord inflammation, Bell’s palsy, and convulsions.

Lead author Kristýna Faksová of the Department of Epidemiology Research at the Danish State’s Serum Institute was joined by researchers from various other countries including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, and Scotland in assessing whether there was a greater risk of 13 neurological, blood, and heart-related medical conditions occurring following the receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine.


Disgraced pol Bob Menendez showed cash-stuffed safe to married lover who posed nude for him — 15 years before FBI gold bars raid: dossier

The lover bragged to her friends that she had seen “bundles of cash” stuffed in “hidden places” in 2007, according to the document.

And it also claimed that Menendez boasted about “kickbacks from contractors and influence seeking people” while they conducted a torrid affair that included nude photos and sex on both a private jet and a bed that the senator said had been used by President John F. Kennedy.

The revelations come after veteran Democrat Menendez, 70, and his second wife, Nadine Arslanian, were indicted on bribery and corruption charges last year after federal authorities seized nearly $500,000 in cash and gold bars at their Englewood Cliffs, NJ, home.

The DEI training, obtained by Judicial Watch, was part of a mandatory continuing education program at the IRS, and began with a section by Dafina Lazarus Stewart titled, “Cultural Inclusion Is About Justice.”

Stewart, a transgender-identifying woman, chairs a department at the University of Denver and has focused much of her academic work on “whiteness,” even calling on other academics to “commit to the death of whiteness.”

Stewart, who focuses on “institutional transformation toward realizing equity and justice,” is the author of an academic article called “‘Dead Honky’ — Against The Technologies of (White) Violence.”

The article calls for Critical Race Theorists to “commit to the death of whiteness,” even arguing that “whiteness is itself a violence” and asking academics to use the “verbal effigy “‘dead honky.’”


NY village ‘losing its soul’ as nation’s oldest gun manufacturer flees blue state for Georgia

“Two hundred and eight years of history. Gone, gone,” Ilion, New York, Mayor John P. Stephens told the New York Times. “Ilion is Remington. Remington is Ilion.”

Remington is the nation’s oldest gun manufacturer and told union officials late last year that company chiefs at RemArms, the current version of Remington Arms, made the decision to end its New York manufacturing come March. The remaining operations located in Ilion will move to Georgia, where company leaders say the firearms industry is supported and welcomed. 

Residents of the New York village, which is located roughly 230 miles northwest of New York City, are bracing for the manufacturer to officially move, which some say will take part of the town’s identity with it.
