Happy New Year!

 


Jenkinsville South Carolina: The Site Of The Next ENGINEERED COLLAPSE?

Nuclear regulators sounded the alarm over cracks in the pipe system for the nuclear power plant in Jenkinsville—a very serious matter indeed.

Regulations are typically nonsense, but cracks forming in nuclear infrastructure or anything wrong with the plant could cause a catastrophe and should be ample reason for concern. The regulators’ first instincts were correct.

However, these same regulators have since downgraded their warning after Dominion Energy, the company that operates the plant, was able to show them that they had backup generator systems that could function for six hours.

Six hours is still considered underperformance, but not cause for ‘immediate concern’ the regulators claim. The Associated Press provided this statement from NRC Region II Administrator Laura Dudes:

“While not indicative of immediate risk, this finding underscores the need for continuous vigilance and improvement in the plant’s corrective action process.”

Yeah, no thank you, Laura. This dismissal has Three-Mile Island written all over it. I hope the plant truly poses no threat, but something tells me not to trust these people. Multiple news outlets confirmed the issue:

The Intercept claimed that the nuclear power plant, which has suffered five safety incidents in the past, has been horribly mismanaged from the start:

Documents releasedOpens in a new tab as the project unraveled show that both SCE&G and Santee Cooper were well aware of shortcomings, mismanagement, and lack of oversight that eventually made the reactors impossible to complete, years before Westinghouse declared bankruptcy and both companies pulled out.

Alex Jones Issues DIRE Warning

 

Alex Jones has issued a dire warning to the American people, and judging by his track record we should be paying close attention.

The legendary InfoWars host is pointing to comments Joe Biden has made repeatedly this month telling Americans to prepare for a war with Russia.

We all know that Biden, who was installed and not elected, simply does the bidding of the military-industrial complex and their puppets in the political establishment.

I do not doubt that he is trying to drag America into yet another protracted war since his regime is failing. Beyond that, the average American has lost faith in public institutions entirely.

This is no longer the same nation as it was in 1940. Sparking a war with a country like China or Russia will almost certainly lead to civil unrest here at home. Virtually no American buys the Uncle Sam war routine anymore.

Jones told his readers on social media: “Biden tells Americas prepare for war with Russia for a second time in one month. Biden says Congress must blindly follow his orders or total war will break out. This is state terrorism at a level never before seen in history! We must stop this insanity now.”

Raheem Kassam writes: “It was literally the EU army and NATO that provoked the Russia-Ukraine war but the globalists and neoliberal Brexiteers will pretend it was just a flight of fancy by Putin with zero background or context.”

TIME Magazine recently published this piece titled “Why So Many Politicians Are Talking About World War III”:

A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association soon after Russia invaded Ukraine last year found that nearly 7 in 10 Americans feared “that we are at the beginning stages of World War III,” a sentiment that allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin have encouraged.

The organization has not asked the question since then, but the outbreak of war in the Middle East appears to be raising those fears again.

President Trump has also issued similar warnings: “I refuse to kneel before the next endless war in Ukraine. I want peace. They want money and they want conflict. Even if it means we end up on the brink of World War III.”

Newsweek featured this op-ed that claimed we are already in World War III:

China, Russia, and Iran disagree on many things, but they all have the same goal: ridding their regions of U.S. influence and creating a multipolar global governance system and.

Tehran, Beijing, and Moscow know that U.S. political and military might is the only force preventing them from imposing their will on their neighbors.

Huge Plot Twist as BLM Leader Blasts Democrats, Endorses Republican for President

Sometimes, God teaches charity and humility by showing us why we must look beyond labels. If we learn this lesson while receiving good news at the same time, then we also have reason for gratitude.

Mark Fisher, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, appeared on “Fox and Friends” Tuesday to give a bit of good news by explaining why he now supports former President Donald Trump.

In short, according to Fisher, Democrats have lied.

“I think personally it’s the duplicity of the Democrats, the hypocrisy,” Fisher told host Lawrence Jones. “We’re not stupid. The brothers are not stupid. We understand when someone’s for us and when someone is not, and it’s obvious that the Democratic Party is not for us.”

In addition to posing as friends of black voters, Democrats have pushed policies designed to undermine the black family.

“Their policies actually strike at the heart of the black family and the nuclear family,” Fisher said.

Judging by recent polling data, many black voters have reached similar conclusions. Last week, for instance, an NBC poll found that President Joe Biden’s approval rating among black voters has fallen by nearly 20 points in 2023.

When asked how Trump might capitalize on this mounting disillusionment, Fisher noted that anti-Trump propaganda remains an obstacle.

“A lot of people are misinformed,” Fisher said.

If that changes, however, then opinions of Trump will change “because personally, I love the man. I mean, how could you not like a real man? How could you not relate to someone like that?”

Later, when asked what message he would give the former president, who watches “Fox & Friends,” Fisher replied with a simple invitation.

“Call me. On my cellphone, man. I’ll stump for Trump,” the BLM leader said.

Fisher garnered attention this week because he appeared on Fox News. His public endorsement of Trump, however, dates at least to earlier this month.

At the beginning of the segment, Jones showed a clip of Fisher blasting the Democrats on “The Kim Iversen Show” in a YouTube video dated Nov. 6.

“We’ve been used and abused for so long by that party,” Fisher told Iversen. “They don’t value our vote. Their policies are basically racist policies. I believe it’s a racist party.”

At the same time, Fisher expressed support for Trump.

“Donald Trump is — he’s the opposite. He’s gonna tell you how it is. He’s gonna give it to you straight,” Fisher said.

“Trump has done more for the black community than … any president I can think of in my lifetime,” the BLM leader added.

Fisher’s extended conversation with Iversen actually went deeper.

For instance, in a clip posted Nov. 3 to the social media platform X, Fisher discussed the growing connection between the black community and Trump supporters over what Iversen called “the oppression that they’re dealing with as Jan. 6ers, being called terrorists and being prosecuted as such.”

Fisher explained that he and Trump supporters have learned a lot from one another.

“They are as desperate as a lot of other folks in this country to improve the race relations. I would never know that. I would have never known until I reached out to them that they had no idea how bad black people had it, until they experienced what they’re experiencing now, and they’re heartbroken,” Fisher said.

WARNING: The following video contains language that some may find offensive.

 

Of all the insidious movements to emerge in recent years, perhaps only the COVID cult proved more damaging and alarming than the Marxists who masqueraded as civil rights activists with BLM.

Fisher, however, reminds us that some people really did join BLM with noble objectives in mind. After all, if they cared about the black family, then they could not have known about the organization’s Marxist ideology. Indeed, some of us might even know a few BLM cheerleaders from 2020 who thought they were supporting civil rights.

Looking ahead, Fisher’s endorsement of Trump could signal something seismic.

Above all, Democrats and the establishment fear ordinary people coming together to oppose the elites’ agenda. Nothing would cement that union more powerfully than blacks and other traditionally Democratic voters backing Trump as the anti-establishment candidate.

Trump voters, of course, cannot support BLM as a whole, but we can support Fisher’s version of it.

If that means we can get people out of prison who do not belong there, while at the same time destroying both the deep state and the war machine — all while protecting families from open borders, abortion worship and other destructive liberal policies — then we can crush the oligarchic establishment and restore the Republican promise of the American Founders.

And if we do all this, we will have done it because God showed us how.

1 in 5 Healthcare Providers Failed to Meet CDC Vaccine Storage Standards: Study

 Inadequate storage could have resulted in many vaccine recipients receiving inert COVID-19 shots.

Staff member handles AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines in storage at Region Hovedstaden's Vaccine Center, Copenhagen, Denmark, on Feb. 11, 2021. 

More than 20 percent of healthcare providers failed to comply with COVID-19 vaccine storage and monitoring requirements set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which could have led to some of the administered vaccines becoming inert.

The study, published in the Vaccine journal on Dec. 27, looked at how healthcare providers taking part in the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccination program complied with the agency’s standards between May 2021 and May 2023. The study found that the overall compliance rate of all providers was only 63.3 percent.

While vaccine preparation, administration, and error reporting stages scored above 90 percent, vaccine storage and monitoring performed the worst among all stages, with a compliance rate of only 79.9 percent.

The study tracked 14 healthcare provider types, including public health providers, commercial vaccination service providers, state or local corrections/detention, health centers, home health, hospitals, IHS or tribal, long-term care, medical practice, pharmacy-chain, pharmacy-independent, and urgent care.

Vaccine storage and monitoring had a compliance rate lower than 80 percent among 11 out of 14 healthcare providers.

The lowest was among state or local corrections/detention at just 64 percent, followed by urgent care at 66.2 percent, and pharmacy-independent at 69.7 percent. The rest had a compliance rate of between 70 and 80 percent.

The low rates of vaccine storage and monitoring compliance is a key metric given that the two most used COVID-19 vaccines in the United States—Pfizer and Moderna—had strict temperature storage requirements.

Pfizer vaccines have to be stored in an ultra-cold freezer between -80 to -60 degrees Celsius, while Moderna vaccines must be frozen between -25 and -15 degrees Celsius.

Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have to be stored at low temperatures because they are mRNA vaccines. If not stored at low temperatures, the vaccines can break down and become useless.

Commenting on the study, Mary Talley Bowden, a doctor at BreatheMD, pointed out in a Dec. 30 X post that since Pfizer “required storage in ultra-cold freezers and could only stay at room temperature 2-6 hours,” it is possible that many people “probably got inert shots.”

An inert vaccine means the shot was inactive and lacked any chemical or biological action.

Experts from the CDC authored the Vaccine journal study. The authors stated they received no financial support from any organization for the work and that no other relationships or activities could have influenced the submitted study.

The researchers clarified that the findings of the study reflect their personal conclusions and “do not necessarily represent the official position” of the CDC.

Vaccine Distribution Compliance

The Dec. 27 study observed that healthcare provider compliance was “high” when it came to COVID-19 vaccine preparation, administration, and error reporting categories. However, compliance was “lowest” for vaccine storage, handling, and reporting requirements.

The “reporting” category—which included immunization registry reporting, inventory reporting, temperature excursion, and vaccine wastage reporting—had a low compliance rate of 82.6 percent.

State or local corrections/detention had the lowest overall compliance rate of 45.7 percent, followed by urgent care at 46.9 percent.

Syringes and vials of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine are prepared to be administered at a drive up vaccination site from Renown Health in Reno, Nev., on Dec. 17, 2020.

The study pointed out that “of the 1,472 (8.6 percent) site visits reporting a temperature excursion within the past 30 days, 39.1 percent were non-compliant with CDC-required temperature excursion processes (e.g., quarantining impacted vaccine, storing vaccine in a backup unit, reporting the temperature excursion to the immunization program, and contacting the vaccine manufacturer for usability documentation).”

Temperature excursion refers to a situation wherein a pharmaceutical product is exposed to temperatures that are outside its prescribed range for storage and transportation.

The study insisted that “most healthcare providers that received a COVID-19 Vaccination Provider Oversight program site visit were compliant with program requirements overall and by compliance area.”

However, it admitted that “further research can strengthen vaccine storage, handling, and administration practices for future widespread vaccination efforts.”

Lessons learned from the CDC vaccine compliance program “will be important for future vaccine response activities and for building a broader U.S. Government routine vaccine program for adults,” the researchers wrote.

Studies have shown that many COVID-19 vaccines that were supposed to be administered to people ended up getting wasted.

According to a July 11, 2022, post by disease forecasting company Airfinity, an estimated 1.1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines were wasted since the global rollout.

“Despite countries best efforts to avoid wastage, some degree is inevitable. Large multi-dose vials can make efficiencies more challenging, as well as cold chain storage and predicting daily demand or simply a vial being dropped or left out too long,” said Airfinity Analytics Director Dr. Matt Linley.

In June last year, the CDC revealed to NBC News that an estimated 82.1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses were wasted across the country between December 2020 and May 2022.

Retail pharmacies Walmart and CVS were found to be responsible for more than 25 percent of the wasted doses.
