Purdue Prof Specializing in ‘Positive Emotions' Beat Wife While Son Was Locked in Dog Cage
[Breitbart] A clinical assistant professor of educational psychology in the College of Education at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, who specializes in "positive emotions" was placed on paid administrative leave after police arrested him for allegedly locking his son in a dog crate and beating his wife.

Purdue spokesperson Tim Doty said in a Monday email that assistant professor John Froiland was placed on paid administrative leave after allegedly beating his wife with the leg of a chair while his son was locked in a dog cage, according to a report by the school’s student newspaper the Exponent.

Last week Froiland was arrested on preliminary charges of domestic battery, intimidation, interference in reporting a crime, neglect of a dependent, and criminal confinement, the report added.

The 48-year-old clinical assistant professor — who specializes in "positive emotions" and "parent involvement" — allegedly beat his wife in front of a 10-year-old boy, who was locked in the cage. The student newspaper later identified the boy as Froiland’s son.

Police said Froiland confronted his wife at around 4:30 p.m. last week after she returned home from a shopping trip. The professor was reportedly upset that he did not know where his wife had been all day, so he grabbed her and held her against the wall, his wife told police.

I guess he was just researching material for a new Text Book he is writing and has plans to offer a class with live demonstrations next year.

Don't these IVY league colleges do any background checks on their educators? Or is that why he was hired?

His punishment ---> paid administrative leave?????

Chinese coast guard sprays Philippine boat with water cannon at disputed region
[FoxNews] Chinese coast guard ships blocked and sprayed a powerful stream of water at two Philippine boats carrying supplies to troops at a disputed South China Sea shoal, prompting Manila to order Beijing’s ships to back off and warn that its supply vessels are covered by a mutual defense treaty with the United States, Manila’s top diplomat said Thursday.

Philippine Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said no one was hurt in the incident on Tuesday, but the two supply ships had to abort their mission to provide food to Filipino forces occupying Second Thomas Shoal, which lies off western Palawan province in the Philippines’ internationally recognized exclusive economic zone.

Locsin said in a tweet that the three Chinese coast guard ships’ actions were illegal and urged them "to take heed and back off."

It was the latest flare-up in the long-simmering territorial disputes in the strategic waterway, where China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have overlapping claims. China claims virtually the entire South China Sea and has transformed seven shoals into missile-protected island bases to cement its assertions, ratcheting up tensions and alarming rival claimants and Western governments led by the U.S.

Seriously, why do we have such worthless allies? You think they'd be able to handle their own disputes but they can't even deal with being sprayed with a firehose?

#5  I wish there were a way to push back on the idea that these "vaccines" are even vaccines.

They can be "of some value to some" without us all pretending they rise to the standard of being a vaccine.

#6  Gibraltar is almost fully vaccinated yet cases are climbing again to near their previous highs. Deaths are essentially zero though. Pretty good suggestion that the vaccine does nothing to prevent infection (may even increase the chance) but does prevent deaths from them. (Either that or Gibraltar uses a lot of 'horse medicine...')

#7  I thought Ireland already had a 90+% VAX rate?????

Like Commenter #6 said about Gibraltar and like #2 said about this short duration effective Vax.

Plus why is the FDA in court seeking a 55 Year FOIA immunity on having to respond to Pfizer Covid-19 VAX inquires???

About 200 Red Army soldiers were exhumed September 2021
[YouTube] About 200 Red Army soldiers were exhumed September 2021. At present, we cannot determine the exact number, because the corpses were stacked on top of each other in a mass burial, and secondly, there were parts of individual bodies that were collected from the battlefield in the summer of 1945.
These battles took place in the Kurland region in Latvia.
The identification of the soldiers is complicated because the battles in this front sector took place from November 1944 to February 1945 and at least ten different Red Army units fought here at different times. Only one medal with a number was found. We hope that this medal will provide valuable information about this soldier and the burial.
I have yet to see an update from the Mius Rver Front Exhumation project. The Mius Front was yet another bloody, post Stalingrad battle.
This project uses retired Russian Army officers and "borrowed" Russian Army conscripts.

‘Smallpox' Vials Found at Merck Lab in Suburban Philadelphia Facility
[NBCPhiladelphia] "Following the eradication of smallpox, scientists and public health officials determined there was still a need to perform research using the variola virus. They agreed to reduce the number of laboratories holding stocks of variola virus to only four locations," the CDC says on its website. "By 1984, England and South Africa had either destroyed their stocks or transferred them to other approved labs. There are now only two locations that officially store and handle variola virus under WHO supervision: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, and the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology (VECTOR Institute) in Koltsovo, Russia."
Wasn't Bill Gates just warning about a small pox epidemic?

#4 

Gleaned from various CDC sites.

CDC treats Smallpox as a Category A infectious substance and it never should be handled in less than a Bio-safety Level 4 (BSL-4) facility.

All work with this live virus is done under Bio-safety Level 4 containment conditions at CDC and NOT by outside labs or stored in a open lab area refrigerators like Philly.

BIG NOTE:
By mutual agreement, the Smallpox virus can only officially be stored in only two facilities in the world:

CDC in the United States Atlanta, GA. (which use to be the Webb Gin Rd. storage bunker facility, in Snellville, GA.)
or the Russian State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology in Novosibirsk, Russia.

So IF this was actually the Small Pox and not a mislabeled VAX bottle, how in hell’s name did it end up in a Philly Merck or CDC lab.

Yes because they and the media would have a field day with it. Calling it a "New Strain" and go Pandemic Round 3 just in time for 2022/2024 elections.

NOTE: SmallPox Vaccinations more or less stopped in 1970 for US Kids. It has not been listed since 1970 to 2020 as a Recommended needed Vaccine.

NOTE: SmallPox, unlike Covid-19/21 can live extended periods of time on non-Biological items.

(CDC) The virus can spread through materials or through the objects contaminated by infected persons. Such as bedding or clothing. People who cared for smallpox patients and washed their bedding or clothing must to wear gloves and personal protective items to not get infected.

So the 65.1% under the age of 50 in the USA are at HIGH RISK of infection.

BTW: Smallpox in Afghanistan continues to be a issue.

I sure hope all those GI's, Afghani Immigrants and Illegals crossing the OPEN BORDER got VAX'd?

Corey's Digs - Smallpox: Threat or False Flag? A Telling Timeline

In November 16, 2021, it was reported that 15 vials of smallpox (variola) were found at Merck’s North Wales, PA laboratory in a freezer. While many people are panicking about smallpox being used as a bioweapon to unleash on Americans, as Bill Gates suggested just a couple weeks ago, the real question is – were there really vials found, or is this to invoke panic, siphon off another slush fund, and potentially prep for a future false flag event as another cover story to build the human enslavement system the globalists so desire?Whether this is an impending false flag or a future event they wish to roll out, the timeline below paints a very interesting picture, especially the fact that the FDA has had several recent approvals of both vaccines and drug treatments for smallpox under the guise of “bioterrorism,” and continues to add the smallpox vaccines to its Strategic National Stockpile. Furthermore, this isn’t the first time that smallpox vials were allegedly found outside of the CDC. It supposedly happened in 2014, when they found 6 vials in a cardboard box, stuffed away in a cold storage room at NIH. Have these labs been experimenting with it, or were vials really found in these locations?

There are allegedly only two locations in the world who house the smallpox virus, one being the CDC and the other is Russia’s State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology, also known as the Vector Institute, located near Novosibirsk in Siberia.

They always reveal their plans but most do not pay attention. I also believe there will be no election in 2022. COVID was just a test and the big one is yet to come and it will come when it presents the greatest opportunity and I believe it will come just prior to the 2022 election. The Democrats KNOW they are going to lose their majority in both houses in 2022. Or they will have no in-person election using all mail in ballots so they can steal the election. They are too close to achieving their marxist/communist goals of depopulation, destroying the global economy, destroying America and driving in global communism (Great Reset/UN Agenda 21/2030) to give up now. No way will they allow a legitimate election and every GOVERNOR currently in place is responsible because they refused to do what was needed to prove the 2020 election was stolen.

#13  I had smallpox when I was 15 months old. It was a rather mild case, but ever since, I've never had a smallpox vaccination "take". Drove the Air Force crazy, even though I could show them the scar on my forehead and another on my back. Like Procopius, I'm good. I'm also an over-70 veteran, and a survivor of Covid (also mild), so I'm twice good. 8^)
