US diplomats blast Biden vaccine mandate in internal cable
[IsraelTimes] Memo sent by dozens of State Department employees through official dissent channel says policy violates their rights, say unvaxxed are being shunned and bullied by colleagues.

Dozens of diplomats and employees from the United States Department of State sent a cable to the Director of Policy Planning on Thursday protesting the department’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate and saying unvaccinated workers were being shunned and bullied by their colleagues, The Times of Israel has learned.

Titled "Dissent Channel: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Medical Freedom," the internal message argued that the COVID-19 vaccination executive order for all federal employees signed by US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan....
on September 9 violates the US Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the ideals expressed by US Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge
on the same day.

"On September 9, 2021," read the cable, "Vice President Harris summarized the importance of these ideals at the White House by stating, ’When people are able to design their lives in a way that they can determine their own futures, we are a stronger democracy and we are a stronger nation. When people are able to make choices without government interference for themselves — in terms of their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their family, in consultation with whomever they may choose — we are a stronger society.'

The diplomats, whose names are classified, argued that the mandate has created a "toxic and hostile work environment."

"Although the Department spends millions of dollars on mandatory training for its employees and other worldwide initiatives to promote diversity, equality, inclusion, anti-discrimination, anti-bullying, and protection of personally identifiable and health information, many of us are experiencing violations of these standards," they wrote.

"Regrettably, Department leadership has done little to counter the ongoing vitriol and discrimination as the ’unvaxxed’ are banned from using government facilities, publicly berated by superiors, excluded from work and social events, and subjected to ’counseling sessions.'"

They told of being called "plague rats" and having colleagues refuse to sit in the same room.

"The enforcement of this mandate will result in the loss of trained and experienced personnel throughout the federal government," read the cable. "Consequently, the progress of our mission will be impeded, our national security will be at greater risk, and it will take the Department many years to correct the sudden attrition to meet the great challenges around the globe."

The signatories — "a diverse group including minorities, immigrants colonists, LGBTQI+, people of faith, those vaccinated against COVID-19 and unvaccinated" — argued that they can continue exercising the same precautions they have for the past 20 months.

"We urge the Department, and the Administration, to abandon this divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
and ineffective mandate and to remedy the damage it has inflicted on the Department’s esprit de corps," the cable concluded. "This pandemic will pass, but the damage to the State Department’s reputation, effectiveness, and employee morale will not."

Established in 1971, the dissent channel is an official State Department internal messaging service for diplomats and employees to criticize US government policy and be protected from retaliation.

Biden’s vaccination mandates could affect as many as 100 million people, including health care workers, employees of government contractors, and employees in companies with more than 100 workers.

Obviously elites are exempt from their own rules. Someone slipped here.

#6  Well put TW.

I thought it of interest because I found it in one of the Israeli news sites, Woodrow, in addition to dissension in the ranks of the decidedly not conservative US State Department.

Government Corruption
Georgia governor orders probe into 'sloppy' November 2020 vote counts in Fulton County
[Just The News] In a rare act for a state chief executive, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has referred the audited November 2020 election results in the state's largest voting metropolis to the State Election Board after multiple reviews found significant problems with absentee ballot counting that included duplicate tallies, math errors and transposed data.

Kemp referred Fulton County's risk-limiting audit results this week to election regulators, saying he was not asking for any changes to the declaration that Joe Biden beat Donald Trump but was alarmed by the level of sloppy vote counting in the county that includes the city of Atlanta.

The errors could have skewed the audit totals reported to the state by several thousand votes, according to a 36-item summary Kemp included with his letter. Biden was declared the state's winner by about 12,000 votes.

Finally...


I'll say it again....
Why did GA Sec. Of State RAFFENSPERGER, who is in charge of the GA Elections. Wait over A YEAR, given all the Voter Fraud Evidence slapping him and every GA Citizen/Voter in the face?

I have to wonder how much evidence has been destroyed, hidden or has become tainted.

Voters will remember RAFFENSPERGER come election.

#3  Sloppy as in forgetting to disable the surveillance cameras before taking out the suitcases of fake ballots from under the tables and stuffing the ballot machines? Next time it will be a fake electrical failure that disable the cameras.

#4  Suitcases.

Ponder that: f--king SUITCASES full of ballots.

Arriving in unmarked vans.
After the polls closed.
Opened after partisans cleared the hall with a phony flood alarm. The kind of prank you pulled at age 15, and thought you were brilliant.

A f--king FIRE ALARM to clear the room, so you could oown suitcases and count phony ballots.

To determine the next leader of the free world.. the 46th president of our Great Republic... successor to Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

For shame.
SHAME.

FUCK YOU. Fuck you disgusting little dwarves who have shat all over beloved Republic.
May you burn in Hell.

Rep. Sabatini Warns ‘Scandal-Ridden' Biden Admin. Playing ‘Dangerous Game' Weaponizing FBI Against American People
[Breitbart] In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday, U.S. congressional candidate and state Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R-FL) discussed the recent January 6 committee subpoenas to numerous former members of the Trump administration, warning of the legal precedents being set by the Department of Justice (DOJ) — an agency he deemed "rotten to its core" by the scandal-ridden Biden administration, which he accused of weaponizing the FBI against the American people.

January 6 Commission:

Sabatini began with his take on the House select committee’s aim to investigate the January 6 Capitol riot.

"The [committee’s] goal is to try and use process crimes to inflict pain on their [political] enemies because if someone did nothing wrong, it’s easier to just launch an investigation and then try to find fault related to where the process rolls out," he said.

"Usually, it’s an obstruction charge," he added.

He also expressed his belief that the commission’s real purpose is actually about "finding ways to entangle people in the law."

The whomever is running the Biden Admin needs to be outed and their DOJ and other Agencies minions exposed. We need to restore the US Constitution and Bill of Rights as the basis for all USA Law again.

#2  We all know in our hearts who is really running the Bidet administration
Does the name Barak ring a bell?
Notice that he has disappeared from the news?

#3  So in the last week the FBI was egg ridden on two counts. Withholding the enhanced Ritterhouse video from the defense and withholding evidence in the Mancolm X trial where men spent decades in prison. When will our nation do something about this? First its the Jan 6th event where people are still being held without due process and now they are turning their focus on mothers at PTA meetings???
