[ThinkingConservative] An email recently shared with The Epoch Times that was sent out to the healthcare staff of a hospital system in Fresno, California, reported an increase in “demise patients,” or stillbirths, that is expected to continue, according to the email.
“There were 22 demise patients in August [2022], which ties the record number of demises in July 2021, and so far in September there have been 7 and it’s only the 8th day of the month,” a managing nurse wrote.
The managing nurse went on to write that she hopes the “trend doesn’t continue indefinitely.”
“I know of a few more that are scheduled to deliver in the week ahead, so unfortunately the process is going to be very familiar with all of you,” the managing nurse said.
The staff member who leaked the email told The Epoch Times that since the rollout of the vaccines, the fetal death (stillbirth rate) has skyrocketed from its pre-COVID-19 vaccine average of one to two every three months in her hospital alone.
The staff member spoke to The Epoch Times on condition of anonymity due to fear of losing their job.
The Epoch Times reached out to the head nurse who wrote the email to request a statement on why there has been a rise in what she called “demise patients,” but there has been no response.
‘EXTREME DANGER SIGNAL’
Dr. James Thorp, a Florida-based OB-GYN who specializes in maternal-fetal medicine, told The Epoch Times that the content of the email is consistent with worldwide data he’s reviewed.
“It is also consistent with the data from our recently published study, the VAERS database, UK Yellow Card, World Health Organization’s VigiAccess, European Medicines Agency’s EudraVigilance, World Council of Health, and even from Pfizer’s own internal documents from their 5.3.6 postmarketing data (pdf) that they attempted to suppress for 75 years,” Thorp said.
The study in which Thorp was involved found a significant increase in 14 serious side effects, including fetal malformation, fetal cardiac arrest, and stillbirth for women who took the COVID-19 vaccine compared to the influenza vaccination.
The study called for a moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy.

So many stories can be told and new events every day. Seems several I have known have died in thirty days after jab. Played down of course but when you see them go you realize something is very wrong. Should I go on I could write "War and Peace" as they say. Still amazingly many totally committed to new jabs being offered. Totally defiant also to anyone who has a negative comment about the war or electric cars.
[YouTube] Is election theft possible in the United States? And might the suspects live closer to home than the Kremlin? Professor Mark Crispin Miller, author of numerous books and articles on computerized election fraud, explores the very real possibilities.
(Real Clear Wire) This essay is adapted from the forthcoming book, The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State (Regnery Publishing, November 1).
"History doesn’t repeat itself," said Mark Twain, "but it often rhymes." This is among the reasons we look to the past, straining as best we can through the deepening fog of time to discern lessons for our own day. Analogies to the events that came before are always imperfect, but nevertheless often useful for understanding our present moment. Thus, only a historical myopia can explain why it’s become so common to describe the events involving the covid pandemic as "unprecedented," even though pandemics have tended to occur every hundred years or so. This nearsightedness is also perilous given, for instance, the World Economic Forum’s "Great Reset Initiative" and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s recent pledge to spend $200 million on developing international biometric-based digital identifications.
Consider prior regimes for which the pretext of "public safety" during an emergency paved the way for excessive state-sanctioned powers and to, in some cases, totalitarianism. Going back centuries, whenever the Roman Republic faced an acute existential threat, such as an invading army, the Senate would appoint a dictator with immense and far-reaching authority. Over a period of three-hundred years, dictators were appointed on ninety-five occasions. Upon termination of the crisis, each was required to quickly relinquish their authority. And they did so every time——except once, and that marked the beginning of imperial overstretch, and, ultimately, the collapse of the Roman Republic.
We should also recall that it was the unabashedly named Committee of Public Safety that carried out the French Revolution’s infamous Reign of Terror. Now I recognize that almost anyone who draws an analogy to the Third Reich is met with the charge of hyperbole. But one would be remiss not to mention Nazi Germany when specifically discussing historical cases of state-sanctioned authoritarian power being used in the name of "public safety." It remains a sobering, instructive, and undeniable fact that Nazi Germany was governed for virtually the entirety of its existence under Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, which allowed for the suspension of German law in times of an "emergency."
If these historical examples seem alarmist, consider that Australia rounded up citizens exposed to covid, including asymptomatic people, and shipped them to detention facilities against their will. Videos of Australian detention centers made their way onto social media before tech censors dutifully scrubbed them from the internet. Canada likewise built detention facilities for infected and exposed persons.
Authoritarian measures during the pandemic went beyond detention of suspected or actual cases. The Medical Indemnity Protection Society (MIPS) is the singular authority for providing medical malpractice insurance in Australia. MIPS published "12 Commandments" to help physicians avoid disciplinary "notifications" by the country’s governing agency. MIPS Commandment #9 ominously warns Australian doctors that mentioning findings of a published scientific study not consistent with "public health messaging" could potentially result in them losing their ability to practice medicine.
Likewise, in the United States, the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), an authority on medical licensure and physician discipline, passed a policy in May 2022 on disciplining physicians for "misinformation" and "disinformation" that will guide all state medical boards and, in turn, the nation’s physicians they license. It might even become state law. Stunningly, the very first example of non-compliance cited involves the FSMB’s October 6, 2020 assertion about the efficacy of cloth masks—an assertion later shown to be false. If the FSMB genuinely wanted to combat falsehoods, it would start by addressing the ones it promulgated during the pandemic. It could then move on to those disseminated by our public health authorities, who routinely flip-flopped on "The Science."
My home state, California, took up the FSMB’s suggestion to codify its recommendations. I recently traveled to Sacramento to testify against this legislation in the State Senate. The law empowers the state medical board to discipline physicians for spreading "misinformation," defined as statements that contradict the current scientific consensus (an ill-defined legal standard). Undermining its own central claims, the text of Assembly Bill 2098 made multiple statements about covid that were already outdated by the time I arrived in the capital, because—despite what our bureaucratic overlords posit—science constantly evolves. Alas, the controversial bill was ultimately voted into law last month, passing strictly along party lines.
Fortunately, biomedical authoritarianism is meeting additional resistance. Both physicians and patients in California oppose AB 2098 because they recognize that a doctor with a gag order is not a doctor that can be trusted. They also understand that censorship is anathema to scientific progress. Along with other physicians in California, I will soon file a lawsuit in federal court challenging AB 2098 on First Amendment free-speech grounds. I am confident that this law—which undermines the medical-informed consent process, and, ultimately, harms patients—will not withstand judicial scrutiny. The burgeoning grassroots medical-freedom movement constitutes the necessary corrective to what has with frightening rapidity become the new abnormal.
[Breitbart] Two European fibre optic cables have been severed in the last week, fuelling speculation of possible sabotage with both phone networks and internet traffic disrupted.
The first incident took place in the North Sea last week and saw an underwater fibre optic cable cut, shutting off the internet and mobile phone networking to the Shetland Islands, the northernmost islands of the United Kingdom for an entire night.
The incident affected the SHEFA2 submarine fibre optic cable, which was deployed in 2007 and connects the Shetlands, the Orkney Islands as well as the Faroe Islands, to mainland Scotland. Another cable connecting the Shetlands and the Faroe Islands had also been damaged the week prior, an incident which was blamed on a fishing ship.
According to a report from French broadcaster BFMTV, a second fibre optic cable severing incident was reported by the security firm Zscaler, which claimed that damage had been detected at a fibre optic hub in Aix-en-Provence, near Marseille last week.
The security network claimed that three lines of the hub had been severed linking Marseille and Lyon, Marseille and Milan as well as Marseille and Barcelona, affecting internet access in Europe as well as Asia and the United States.
Zscaler commented on the incident on Twitter, stating, “Zscaler has discovered that a subsea Internet cable was severed in the south of France in an apparent act of vandalism.”
Misha Kuperman, senior vice president of global cloud operations at Zscaler has also claimed that French telecom operators have also privately concurred with the idea that the incident was the result of sabotage.
The sabotage of fibre optic cables and other telecommunications infrastructure is not a unique occurrence in France, with a similar incident taking place earlier this year in April that saw fibre optic cables between Paris and Lyon and Paris and Strasbourg cut.
“The fact remains that the characteristics and circumstances of this particularly serious and very rare incident make it difficult [to blame is on being] an accidental break. Several operators using the same [methods] vandalized infrastructures are involved,” French Internet Service Provider (ISP) Netalis said.
The head of Netalis, Nicolas Guillaume, added that the attack on the cables was likely done by those familiar with the network and was probably coordinated.
While the scale and complexity of the data networks which underpin modern civilisation make finding and repairing sabotage time-consuming and difficult, new technology means pinpointing outages, and even detecting trespassers before damage occurs, is possible.
Dr Ed Austin, engineer and founder of Focus Sensors, who has pioneered technology to use optical fibres to monitor nearby infrastructure, told Breitbart that “Sabotage and cable theft has far-reaching consequences for digital connectivity, energy security and transport.”
Nevertheless, he said, help was at hand because new technology meant fibre optic cables could be more than passive conductors of data, but could sense interference as well, attacks could be detected and rectified much quicker. Dr Austin said: “Our technology turns existing optical fibres into thousands of virtual seismic sensors, which we use to locate sabotage and cable theft events with sub-meter accuracy, accelerating response times and minimising time for repairs. After an event has happened, data we captured provides a tool for forensic analysis of activities in the hours and minutes leading up to the event, which is evidence that can be used to identify perpetrators.”
While no groups or individuals took credit at the time for the alleged multi-location fibre optic cable sabotage in France, far-left and anarchist extremists have either been suspected of or have taken credit for sabotaging telecommunications infrastructure in recent years.
An alleged act of sabotage in 2020 in the Ile-de-France region which contains Paris saw 50,000 people go without internet connectivity after telephone and communications cables were cut. In the weeks prior to the incident, around 20 other acts of sabotage of telecommunications infrastructure were recorded by the Central Territorial Intelligence Service (SCRT).
The SCRT suspected that far-left extremists were behind the wave of sabotage noting that the infrastructure targetted were “historic targets of the ultra-left movement.”
A year later, French far-left extremists took credit for arson attacks on telecommunications infrastructure in the communes of Brézins and Sassenage, which destroyed fibre optic cables as well as a fibre optic communications tower.
Extremists took credit for the attacks saying, “it is not to protest against 5G in particular but in a broader context, fighting against the techno-world… We want to salute all the arsonists who are acting in the shadows at the moment and repeatedly beating this technological hell.”
The possible sabotage of the fibre optic cables also comes just weeks after backhaul communications fibre optic cables belonging to the German Railway company Deutsche Bahn were “willfully and intentionally severed” simultaneously, causing rail traffic to grind to a total halt for hours.
Green Party MP Anton Hofreiter theorized that the action may have been linked to a state actor saying, “To pull this off, you have to have very precise knowledge of the railway’s radio system. The question is whether we are dealing with sabotage by foreign powers,” and claiming it may have been a “warning” from Russia.
The German police, however, stated that they suspected a possible political motive for the sabotage but did not label the act terrorism or put blame on any foreign state.
Russia has, however, been floated as a possible suspect by some in connection with the alleged sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines that took place late last month, although only Ukraine has explicitly blamed the Russians for the explosions which damaged the pipelines.
An investigation into the sabotage of the pipelines by Swedish and Danish authorities has so far only concluded that the damage was the result of explosions and that the incidents were likely deliberate sabotage but neither country has assigned blame to any state, activist group or other parties.
On one hand, it's utterly despicable, illegal, and acts of war to do what they're doing. On the other hand, it is delightful to see that Europe is finally getting the same treatment that they've been dishing out to us for decades.

"an apparent act of vandalism"
Now there's a euphemism for ya.

It's a cable thing. Charging cables being stolen for the copper inside. Go on a trip and the charging cables are gone. Even private homes are targeted. Seems to be quick and easy theft. Just operating one of these very expensive things makes you a target.
[Catbox] This is what happens when you live in a bubble and anything that contradicts you is censored. Stalin's men were similarly shocked to discover that the people hated them.

...If the election goes the way I hope it will, the cognitive dissonance within the media will be a case study for psychiatrists for decades to come.
I seriously believe that there is at least a chance we will see them crack to the point where they will deny a defeat even took place.
[American Thinker] I remember talking to a childhood friend a little before the 2016 election. What he said to me sticks in my memory verbatim because it was so stunning.
"If Trump wins this election, it will be the end of democracy."
He said this without irony. To him, democracy meant something other than a president being elected through the free choice of millions of ordinary voters. To him, "democracy" meant "the cause," the ideology of the left in all of its romantically dishonest Marxist overtones — which the wretched public was about to mess up. "Democracy," in other words, could not be left to the people. It was the proper province of the enlightened and sophisticated few.
It is not about the subtleties of how the Electoral College does or ought to function. It is not about the distinction between direct democracy and the representative democracy that was designed into our now defunct republic. It is about the core beliefs of human beings. About the distinction between a government that exists at the sufferance of the people, on the one hand, and a people who exist at the sufferance of a political class on the other. There are currently only a minority of officeholders in this country who actually believe that ordinary people ought to have as much sovereignty over their own lives as the need for social order will allow. They believe this either because they have a certain faith in the people's collective wisdom, or because they simply understand that putting too much power into anyone else's hands has tended not to end well. Everyone else, Republican or Democrat, fake conservative or real Marxist, believe, at best, that people are mere children who have to be protected from themselves. At worst, they believe that the people are an inferior species of animal — a herd that might be thinned or fattened up as necessary to serve the interests of their betters. We have ample cause to think the majority of our federal legislators and even more of the noxious pampered creatures that make up the administrative state fall easily into this second category. The last thing that such people would want is an honest election — ever.
The people who are currently in charge will cheat in the upcoming election. There can be no reasonable doubt about this. The question isn't one of if — it's only how. It is a question of whether or not they'll be successful, or whether or not enough people of our side will show they have the functional remnants of a backbone. Whatever shakes out after the circus of mail-in ballots, ballot-harvesting, and all the other tricks we've come to expect — we must remember that the leadership of the Democrat party does not believe in elections even in principle. They will not consider any manipulation of the electoral process to be cheating. In their view, they're entitled to win. If I eat a piece of steak, I do not moralize at all about the unfair slaughter of the beast that it was taken out of. Our political rights, in the eyes of most of the political class, are something on the order of civil rights of cattle. This is to say — they are rights they don't believe exist.
Now, it naturally follows from this situation that we need to stop expecting a fair win just as we no longer believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. Our victories are going to be denied; litigated; and, if at all possible, overturned. We cannot pretend we are arguing with honorable opponents. In the defense of their own power, our enemies will leave no options off the table. Our lives mean little to them. They hate us. They have made this amply clear. For the sake of our nation's future, we need to shrug off any worn out notion that we have any kind of moral duty to our rulers simply because they are our rulers.
I used to hear people drone on that they didn't respect the president or senator so-and-so — but they had a duty to respect the office. Why? The office of president is currently held by a mumbling imbecile who was really no great shakes when his marble collection was intact, and now makes Hillary Clinton seem like a master of modern statecraft. We don't really know exactly who the organ grinder is that owns this monkey, but we know that the slobbering creature himself isn't fit to be a substitute assistant manager at McDonald's. I don't recall any of the rabid mob across the aisle or on the corporate news ever saying anything even close to "I don't like Trump, but I need to show respect for the office that he holds." Perhaps I missed that nanosecond of civility as it flashed across Chris Cuomo's smug and privileged face.
We owe our enemies no consideration whatsoever. None. They are not merely the misguided members of our less than perfect national family anymore. They are as alien to us as anybody could be. Just consider some of the policies the Democrats have shown themselves quite willing to defend. Which party was it that brought us degenerate young men on women's athletic teams, or genital removal surgery for toddlers? What nation in the history of Earth has concluded that the elimination of its own borders was a swell idea, or that subordinating our laws to the whims of unelected foreigners was the height of postmodern chic? Do you like the wholesale dismantling of your culture as seen every night on television — both in the programming and in the commercials? How about the war on the economy? Is that a price you are willing or even able to pay — so that the idiotic "thought leaders" can feel good about themselves? Did you vote to give up your individual freedom to the WEF? Do you think Klaus Schwab and Co. consider you anything more than a laboratory animal to be disposed of at the end of their experiment? It is no longer even tenable to hold onto the least hope that they might somehow, miraculously learn to care. They have declared themselves our enemies in innumerable polices and in quite explicit language. It is time we take them at their word.
I am tired of "let's tone down the language" and "let's turn the other cheek." We have turned the other cheek and gotten it bloodied and bloodied again. It is good to pray for even the most evil if you can find it in your heart to do so — but there is no virtue whatsoever in entrusting them with anybody's children. It does little good for the livestock to appeal to the conscience of the butcher. The butcher does not have one.
I hope the election goes well — but we need to be prepared, as a people born into freedom, to rise in civil disobedience whenever our rights are overthrown. We need to be prepared to follow the example of the French Yellow Vests, the Canadian Truckers, and the Dutch Farmers. We need to have the guts to make an ugly, resolute, and inconvenient nuisance of ourselves. We are Americans. We have the constitutional rights to assemble and to protest — whether those rights are currently acknowledged by the authorities or not. We need to accept that we will never restore our freedom sitting in our chairs and waiting for next time. At the very least, if you can do nothing else, you can still rattle your congressional representative's phone. If you have feet to stand on, you should be ready and willing to stand in the way of those who despise you and stop the madness they're fomenting. If we do not stand together now, we'll be divided and eliminated individually, one by one.
[Guns Ameerica] The Sako S20 was definitely cheated when it hit the market in 2020; Covid19 stole the media spotlight and was also responsible for the cancellation of the SHOT Show and the Annual NRA Show, the two largest firearms manufacturer events of the year. So, the S20 came to market with a cough rather than the fanfare and parade it deserved.
The S20 has a right to feel slighted, but the US consumers were also cheated by not getting the exposure they deserved to the new Sako offering. So, let’s take a fresh look at the S20’s features, options, and performance.
Sako introduced the S20 as a “hybrid” rifle. According to Webster’s Dictionary, a hybrid is the offspring of two different species, breeds, varieties, or genera; in this case a hunting rifle and a precision sporting rifle. That definition certainly fits the S20 as it has aspects and characteristics of both rifle styles, but it is also so much more.
