The World Health Organization (WHO) announced it will adopt the European Union’s digital Covid vaccine passport framework to create a global network of digital health certificates. What was long maligned as a conspiracy theory is coming to pass. The new initiative will be called the Global Digital Health Certification Network.

Read about the dangers of vaccine passports and how they kill civil liberties here.

The WHO said it will “take up the European Union (EU) system of digital COVID-19 certification to establish a global system that will help facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats.”

The EU’s Covid vaccine certificate was enforced in July 2021 and issued to over 2.3 billion people.

In a statement, WHO’s Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus said that “building on the EU’s highly successful digital certification network, WHO aims to offer all WHO Member States access to an open-source digital health tool.”

“New digital health products in development aim to help people everywhere receive quality health services quickly and more effectively,” he added.

Images and videos posted on social media show a major dam and hydroelectric power plant in the Russian-occupied region of Kherson, located in southern Ukrainian, destroyed early Tuesday. Water rushed through the dam into the Dnieper River, which separates Ukrainian and Russian forces. Both sides accuse each other of the attack that puts tens of thousands of homes at risk and might even threaten the safety of Europe's largest nuclear power plant.

One could almost hear the network executives and public officials screaming into their bluetooth headsets when the early ratings came in. “What is a Woman?” had more than 170 million views. Tucker Carlson’s new Twitter broadcast? 85 million. With numbers like that, companies that buy advertising are starting to visualize a Superbowl on Twitter. 

On February 12, advertisers paid $5.5 million per 30-second spot to show commercials to the Superbowl’s approximately 200 million viewers. As another basis of comparison, only three of 100+ cable news networks managed ratings over a million. Following Governor Ron DeSantis’ presidential candidacy announcement on Twitter, CNN scoffed at the event as a ratings3 flop. Yet with all of its infrastructure and dedicated cable platforms, CNN’s ratings rarely crack 1 million while DeSantis’ Twitter “flop” scored approximately 3.4 million viewers as of Thursday, May 25. 

The jaw-dropping scale of Elon Musk’s ratings triumphs is causing heads to explode like movie theater popcorn. And do stock up on the popcorn, because Musk has now demonstrated the capacity of Twitter to debut feature-length movies. 

A forgetful society lives on the precipice of history’s abyss. Lloyd Billingsley reminded us of this when he warned, “as ever, the struggle against genocide is the struggle of memory against forgetting.”

Billingsley was referencing the Communist Khmer Rouge’s democidal frenzy of 1975-1979 that killed over 2,000,000 people, specifically “Cambodian children were clubbed to death and babies smashed against trees.” He provided a link to an historical, contemporaneous 1977 account of the communist regime and its bloodthirsty Angka Loeu (“organization on high”) leadership’s initial crimes against the Cambodian people and humanity:  Murder of a Gentle Land: The Untold Story of Communist Genocide in Cambodia, by John Barron and Anthony Paul. It is a horrific chronicle of how the insidious tactics and crimes into which the murderous ideology of communism metastasizes and, ultimately, consumes a people. 

It is a lesson of history that humanity ignores at its peril.

Multiple brands touting conservative values have been launching and gaining market share amid the current economic climate where an increasing number of consumers are reacting harshly to—even boycotting—companies promoting progressive ideologies, especially transgenderism.

NBA player Jonathan Isaac, for example, announced the launch of his UNITUS apparel brand in a tweet on June 2. Pitched as an “alternative” to retail brands that are going woke, UNITUS is scheduled to launch in August. “UNITUS is a sports and apparel company, and the basis of it for me is freedom. You have companies that are in that field who have made a conscious decision to either attack or undermine Christian values, conservative values, and things like that,” Isaac told Prager U’s Amala Ekpunobi for the documentary “Unwoke Inc.”

“And I think they have the free choice to do so, as much as I disagree. But I feel that we also have the freedom to create what we want to create,” the NBA star sadi to make his position clear.

Isaac said that the UNITUS brand is aimed at giving parents who want to buy their kids sneakers and clothes the option to give their money to a company that “they know is going to work toward bolstering their values.”

Drag events targeting children can be a hunting ground for sexual predators, according to a therapist with a long career in treating sexual predators.

A relatively recent phenomenon “Drag Queen Story Hour,” which first appeared in San Francisco, now is happening around the nation—at public libraries, in eateries, at performance venues, in parades, and even at schools.

These events often include men in women’s clothing performing erotic dances, wearing skimpy or suggestive costumes, and telling sexually charged jokes.

These shows sometimes mask sexual predators and facilitate the sexual grooming of children, experts told The Epoch Times.

‘Significant Risk to Women and Children’

Jon Uhler, a therapist who treats sex offenders, says that in his experience if a man feels comfortable performing sexual dance in a skimpy women’s outfit for children, he’s likely extremely sexually deviant and “poses a significant risk to women and children.”

Uhler told The Epoch Times that men who want to perform for kids in sexy women’s outfits have likely watched hundreds of hours of deviant pornography that reshapes the brain to become a sexual predator.

Despite the Western sanctions, Russian oil companies boosted their gasoline exports by 37% between January and May compared to the same period in 2022, Russian daily Kommersant reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the data.

The Russian Energy Ministry last month asked oil companies to reduce their exports and raise supply on the domestic market, according to Kommersant's sources.

After a sharp rise in wholesale gasoline prices in May and recommendations from the Energy Ministry to oil firms to curb exports, Russia's daily gasoline exports in the first six days of June were four times lower than the levels at the end of May, Kommersant reports. 

Russia has stopped reporting official data about oil production and exports, much to the frustration of its OPEC+ partners, as the leader of the pack, Saudi Arabia, is reportedly looking to boost oil prices to at least $80 per barrel—the estimated breakeven price for its budget for 2023.

While its necessity has not been demonstrated, the societal risks presented by the prospective creation of a CBDC are numerous. In a worst case scenario, centralised digital currencies open the door to new kinds of authoritarianism never seen before in the UK. 

A centralised digital pound would place the state at the heart of all financial transactions as an all seeing eye. Every piece of spending would be recordable and anyone with access to the core “ledger” could see these transactions. Meanwhile, if Britcoin kills cash, it kills the most privacy-preserving form of currency available. In an age where privacy is routinely sacrificed on the altar of “safety” and “security”, the risk is that a CBDC becomes another tool in an ever more encroaching surveillance state.

Short of monitoring a person’s physical whereabouts, there could be no better way to follow their day-to-day activities than how they spend their money. Indeed the Treasury have made the surveillance benefits of a CBDC explicit in their policy document, setting out that “competent authorities” may need access to digital pound transactions to gather intelligence. 

With this week marking 10 years since whistleblower Edward Snowden disclosed information to journalists about widespread government spying by United States and British agencies, the former National Security Agency contractor on Thursday joined other advocates in warning that the fight for privacy rights, while making several inroads in the past decade, has grown harder due to major changes in technology.

"If we think about what we saw in 2013 and the capabilities of governments today," Snowden told The Guardian, "2013 seems like child's play."

Snowden said that the advent of commercially available surveillance products such as Ring cameras, Pegasus spyware, and facial recognition technology has posed new dangers.

As Common Dreams has reported, the home security company Ring has faced legal challenges due to security concerns and its products' vulnerability to hacking, and has faced criticism from rights groups for partnering with more than 1,000 police departments—including some with histories of police violence—and leaving community members vulnerable to harassment or wrongful arrests.

Law enforcement agencies have also begun using facial recognition technology to identify crime suspects despite the fact that the software is known to frequently misidentify people of color—leading to the wrongful arrest and detention earlier this year of Randal Reid in Georgia, among other cases.

The institutional Left senses that its dominance over our societal mores faces a sudden and unexpected challenge. It is responding with predictable derangement.

The Human Rights Campaign, a powerful and well-funded left-wing advocacy group, declared a “national emergency” for “LGBTQ+” people on Tuesday.

“LGBTQ+ Americans are living in a state of emergency. The multiplying threats facing millions in our community are not just perceived—they are real, tangible, and dangerous,” HRC’s president, Kelley Robinson, said in a press release.

“In many cases, they are resulting in violence against LGBTQ+ people, forcing families to uproot their lives and flee their homes in search of safer states, and triggering a tidal wave of increased homophobia and transphobia that puts the safety of each and every one of us at risk.”

Just over two months ago, a person who was “identified” as transgender engaged in a mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee. The Human Rights Campaign had nothing to say about the targeting and killing of Christians in that case, despite a clear increase in attacks on churches in the past few years. Most of the media pivoted to explaining how a terrorist attack on Christians is really a threat to the LGBTQ+ community.

Special Counsel John Durham may have issued his final report last month, but the Russiagate scandal is far from over. This is not because there is no more to learn about the years-long effort by the Democratic Party, the FBI, CIA, and major news outlets to advance the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump teamed with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election.

Rather it’s because Russiagate never ended. Unlike political scandals of the past – from the XYZ Affair to Watergate and Iran-Contra – it is not a discrete set of events with a beginning, middle, and end. Instead, it has become a form of governing in which the entrenched forces of the Washington bureaucracy punish their enemies, protect their friends and interfere in elections with impunity.

A continuous thread connects the schemes to deny the results of the 2016 election, to cover up the Biden family’s influence-peddling schemes during the 2020 election, and the ongoing effort to tar President Biden’s opponents as extremists or racists.

Ironically, all of this is especially dangerous because it is out in the open. The profound misdeeds are not hidden in the dark web; they are part of the public record. And yet, none of the major malefactors – including Joe Biden, former President Obama, Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James B. Comey, and former CIA Director John Brennan, among others – have been held to account. Rather, they are lionized, and in some cases employed, by leading media organizations.

The breadth of these machinations is so extensive that I would need a book, rather than a column, to detail it. But here is a brief recap that can serve as a reminder of key events of this dark period of our history.

The men at Omaha did not believe America had to be perfect to be good - just far better than the alternative...

Seventy-nine years ago this week, the Allies assaulted the Normandy beaches on D-Day, June 6, 1944. 

Their invasion marked the largest amphibious landing since the Persians under Xerxes invaded the Greek mainland in 480 B.C. 

Nearly 160,000 American, British, and Canadian soldiers stormed five beaches of Nazi-occupied France. The plan was to liberate Western Europe after four years of occupation, push into Germany, and end the Nazi regime.

Less than a year later, the Allies from the West, and the Soviet Russians from the East, did just that, utterly destroying Hitler’s Third Reich. 

The Punisher character (Frank Castle), originally created by writer Gerry Conway in 1974 with artists Ross Andru and John Romita, was a product of a chaotic era; a reaction to the rise of war, stagflation, instability and exploding crime rates in the US.  The Punisher's story is a tragedy of a returning military veteran whose family is killed during what seems to be a gangland hit.  With federal agencies doing little to arrest the perpetrators, Castle takes matters into his own hands and begins systematically assassinating the criminals.      

The concept of citizen crime stopping and vigilantism was becoming popular in the cultural zeitgeist in the 70s, with many people living in metropolitan areas dealing with increasing criminal violence and unreliable government protection.  City governments in places like New York were actively restricting gun rights for law abiding people, which only made things easier for criminals.    

The same exact conditions are returning to the US today, and debate is boiling once again on vigilantes (just look at the media fury over Kyle Rittenhouse or Daniel Penny).  The mainstream left is adamantly opposed to any form of civilian intervention (unless it's Antifa or BLM), while also being adamantly opposed to any intervention by police.  In other words, they want to let criminals run wild and then threaten to prosecute anyone who dares to do anything about it.  

The Punisher as an icon has been highly popular among conservatives, military veterans and law enforcement officers in recent years.  The trademark skull symbol can be found everywhere, with patches, gear and flags sporting the image, often as a representation of citizens taking matters into their own hands.  The symbol was also seen at the January 6th protests.  

This has made leftists at Marvel Comics livid.  They first attempted to make fundamental changes to the character, including a redesign of his popular skull symbol, as well as taking away his guns and giving him swords in 2021.  Instead of fighting against criminal organizations, Frank Castle joins with one, violating his fundamental code of ethics.

Using the fake “COVID virus” narrative as cover, the privileged, power-mad parasites who pilfer the world’s wealth have sharply accelerated their longstanding plan to create a single global empire that is completely under their command.

This single global empire will ultimately employ the services of all the transnational institutions on the planet in order to regulate and control every aspect of human life.

It is a global empire run by an exclusive club, perhaps 8,000 to 10,000 strong, whose members do not pledge allegiance to any national flag, who snobbishly view themselves as superior to their countrymen, and who are indifferent to political ideology so long as they can control the political structure from within. They aim to erase all national borders and are well on their way to shredding the constitutions of every nation-state.

It is a global empire that, unlike days of yore, needs no standing army to wage war on a battlefield against an opposing empire. For, in this era of the single global empire, the enemy being subdued is each and every one of us.

That mission is being accomplished through a sophisticated information warfare campaign, which is designed to monitor and manipulate our every thought, word, and deed.

Author and TV producer David Whelan has unearthed official records showing for the first time that two different types of bullets were removed from the music legend's body following his fatal shooting on December 8, 1980.

Mr Whelan believes a 'second shooter' could have been involved in the murder of Lennon and has now uncovered dramatic new evidence supporting his case.

MailOnline reported in April how Mr Whelan already discovered a trove of fascinating documents relating to the killing which took place as Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono returned to their home in the Dakota Building overlooking New York's Central Park.

Mr Whelan's three-year investigation into the murder has highlighted a series of extraordinary inconsistencies - including the suggestion that detectives may have fundamentally misunderstood how the shooting happened.

Colorado has become the first state in the nation to ban court-ordered camps where children are 'reunified' with a parent who has been accused of abusing them.

These reunification camps are used by family court judges to settle private custody disputes or divorces involving minors. As part of the order, camp workers are sometimes given temporary custody of the children so they can legally take them from their homes. While at the camp, children are forced into what some have described as a "brainwashing technique" that the camps call "reunification therapy."

According to Tina Swithin, Founder of One Mom’s Battle, forcing children back into a relationship with an abusive parent is essentially "court-ordered child trafficking," the Epoch Times reports.

Webmaster addition: There has been a war going on in virtual space for decades. I greatly fear (in light of all these attacks on pro-lifers and Trump supporters) that the war is breaking into the real world!

I apologize in advance for resorting to vulgarity as, to be clear, such an approach is uncharacteristic of me but I must make an exception in this case.

The indictments issued today by Special Council Jack Smith against President Trump are another orgasm for the Trump Haters. While Smith has now hopefully shot his wad, the present regime continues to roil in the filth of a growing scandal that includes likely evidence of bribery, money-laundering, tax-evasion, racketeering and kickbacks. Biden and his crime family continue to snugly rest under the besotted blanket of corruption that is generously provided by the whores in the deep state and their media prostitutes and pimps.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are all getting fucked!

Perversion emanates from situations by which people are expected to deny morality and reality itself and those situations are set up by those who control the means of communication. Indeed, the very reason why the founders of our Republic established a constitutional system that was based on the principle of a balance of power, a system of checks and balances, was to prevent too much power from falling into the hands of any one clique.

And how has our Republic fallen!

Jesse Waters interviews Congressman James Comer and Senator Chuck Grassley about their efforts with the Biden probe.

Raskin, the committee's top Democrat, claimed the Justice Department had investigated the allegations in 2020 but decided not to move further because then-U.S. Attorney Scott Brady "found no evidence to corroborate" them.

What did Barr say?

As TheBlaze reported, Barr has already disputed Raskin's recollection of what happened.

But in a new interview with Fox News, Barr described Raskin as "confused" and explained what happened with the contents of that now-infamous FD-1023 form.

Barr said he assigned Brady the task of vetting the document to determine its credibility. He established this "intake process," he explained, because there were a number of ongoing investigations related to the Biden family and he wanted to avoid "proliferating investigations around the country going in to the election year, all related to the Bidens."

California lawmakers have revised a bill to treat parents' refusal to "affirm" their child's gender identity as violating health, safety, and welfare in custody disputes.

The bill, known as A.B. 957, has already passed the State Assembly and would require judges adjudicating such disputes over transgender-identifying children to favor the parent who "affirms" the child's preferred identity. The bill's latest version explicitly defines "the health, safety, and welfare" of a child to include "a parent's affirmation of the child's gender identity."

This change has raised concerns among opponents who worry that non-affirmation could be treated as abuse. Erin Friday, a San Francisco attorney and co-lead of the parent coalition Our Duty, said, "When you say that gender affirmation is in the child's best interest for health, safety, and welfare, it takes nothing to say [non-affirmation] is now abuse—because you're not taking care of the health, safety, and welfare if you're not affirming them."

This morning I appeared on Varney & Co. on Fox Business, with guest host David Asman, to talk about the civil rights case the Equal Protection Project filed against Missouri State University.

You may recall that we recently wrote how We are continuing to pursue Missouri State U discrimination: “It’s not enough, when caught, to say ‘oops, sorry.’”:

As previously covered here, the Equal Protection Project (EqualProtect.org) of Legal Insurrection Foundation asked the Missouri Attorney General to investigate a business boot camp at Missouri State University that discriminated against white males, and only white males.

In reaction to substantial media coverage, MSU quickly told the media that it was changing the terms for future programs, and that future business boot camps would be open to everyone. We took that as a VICTORY – Missouri State U To Stop Discriminating Against White Males For ‘Business Boot Camp” After Equal Protection Project Complaint.

But in those public statements, MSU was not contrite and accepted no responsibility. To the contrary, MSU President Clif Smart was quoted as saying:

“Frankly, I still don’t think we did anything wrong … given that we have multiple cohorts of this going on and this was just one cohort that was limited. We won’t do that. We’ll do a better job on the marketing and information (and) dissemination side and review the process to make sure that everyone has a chance to participate, but we’re not going to exclude people.”

It should be obvious by now that the Democrats will DO ANYTHING to indict President Trump and prevent him from winning another election including perverting the law in their favor.

Soros-backed New York City DA Alvin Bragg indicted President Trump in April but could not even explain what laws were broken. The case involved Stormy Daniels’ non-disclosure agreement. The porn star was later forced to pay President Trump’s team hundreds of thousands in court costs after she broke the agreement.

As Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit explained in April, Alvin Bragg claimed in his charges against Trump that the president made the accounting entries himself related the Daniels’ payments. No CEO in the world presiding over a billion-dollar company makes entries in General Ledger or is cutting checks. This is total nonsense. Most notable is that the transactions Bragg lists in his indictment are from 2017. This was when President Trump was in office and his sons were running his company. President Trump had nothing to do with these transactions.

On January 19, 2021, one day before he left office, President Trump signed a letter declassifying documents related to Crossfire Hurricane.  The documents indicted Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the FBI, DOJ, and State Department in running a coup against Trump based on Trump-Russia collusion lies.

Webmaster addition: Here is the full ruling.

And here is the relevant section!

“Cyanide kills you quickly; spike protein kills you slowly.” Here’s what you can do to counteract its negative effects while achieving peak health along the way.

Park Hotels and Resorts CEO, Thomas Baltimore Jr., announced on Monday that the company has ceased making mortgage payments on its $725 million loan due in November for two San Francisco locations.

The company stated on its website that it intends to work with loan servicers to determine the most effective path forward, which is expected to result in the ultimate removal of these hotels from its portfolio.

Baltimore Jr. explained that the decision was made after much thought and consideration, believing that it is in the best interest of Park's stockholders to reduce their current exposure to the San Francisco market. He cited several challenges that the city is facing, including record high office vacancy, concerns over street conditions, and lower return to office than peer cities. Additionally, a weaker-than-expected citywide convention calendar through 2027 will negatively impact business and leisure demand and will likely significantly reduce compression in the city for the foreseeable future.

The Biden administration has unveiled a new set of measures to safeguard the rights and safety of LGBTQI+ communities across the United States.

The measures include the creation of a new position within the Department of Education that will oversee "book bans." The White House has vowed to crack down on "efforts that disproportionately strip books about LGBTQI+ communities, communities of color, and other communities off of library and classroom shelves."

The coordinator is expected to "work to provide new trainings for schools nationwide on how book bans that target specific communities and create a hostile school environment may violate federal civil rights laws."

TUSK, the conservative tech firm that brought forth a unique web browser and search platform as an alternative to mainstream search providers such as Google and DuckDuckGo, is facing a significant setback.

Its subsidiary project GIPPR AI, an offshoot of OpenAI's ChatGPT programmed to mitigate the latter's perceived left-leaning bias, has been abruptly shut down. The chatbot was named in tribute to Ronald Reagan, the Republican President known as "The Gipper."

The decision, announced on TUSK's website, came after OpenAI cited policy violations, particularly concerning "deceptive activity and coordinated inauthentic behavior." The tech giant's rationale has been framed around maintaining safety, a reason often given by Silicon Valley when justifying similar actions.

In a statement, Tusk responded: "We regret to inform our users that our chatbot provider, ChatGPT by OpenAI, is curtailing our free speech and forcing us to conform to their requirements for what can or cannot be said. They claim our GIPPR AI is not in compliance with their policies. Nothing could be further from the truth!"

In an unsettling incident on May 26 in Baltimore, Maryland, two elderly men participating in a pro-life demonstration were allegedly assaulted.

The authorities have made public photographs of the individual believed to be responsible for the physical attack, according to WMAR2 News.

Video footage of the confrontation, obtained by the Baltimore City Police, features the suspected assailant — a bearded Caucasian man with brown hair. During the incident, the suspect is seen wearing a grey t-shirt, blue jeans, and brown shoes. Metro Crime Stoppers has announced a reward of $2,000 for information that could lead to the suspect's arrest.

The victims of the assault, as identified by local pro-life advocate John Roswell in an email to LifeSiteNews, were Dick Schafer, 73, and Mark Crosby, 80. The duo was attacked outside the North Baltimore Planned Parenthood located on N. Howard Street. The attack led to severe injuries to both men; photographs acquired by the pro-life outlet highlight the facial trauma.

Robert Brame is a forensic arborist who has analyzed 38 California fires and has come up with hundreds of photographic evidence of IMPOSSIBLE normal fire behavior. Let's use this information to help us look for CLUES in the CANADIAN fires to see if the same anamolies exist.

The Office of Equity director in Washington state, Karen Johnson, has been fired following allegations of running a hostile work environment and racism.

Johnson, the first person to hold this position, was terminated after an investigation into her conduct revealed several complaints. The study by MFR Law Group PLLC found that several current and former employees had complained about Johnson's "biased and insensitive conduct." One employee claimed that Johnson had a "perceived to be evidence of bias against Mexicans."

According to a report by Jason Rantz of KTTH, one staffer claimed that Johnson told a "self-identified" Mexican that she had a "distrust" of "Mexican people." Johnson allegedly said, "This may take some time for me because I generally distrust Mexican people. Mexican people have the option of being White when it is convenient for them." Another employee, who identified themselves as Hispanic, said Johnson had an "us vs. them" mentality when it came to Hispanic co-workers, often singling them out for not having "lived experiences" of racism.
