Commentary by Sharon 1.18-21.2022: I’m in support of the vaccine, however, if experts claim that domestic animals can be infected, but they can’t pass it on, then why kill all those hamsters and minks and other small animals who tested positive? If the dogs and cats can’t give it to humans, can they give it to each other? What makes a pet different than a rat in whether they become contagious and to whom they become contagious? Are hamsters, minks, rats domesticated?
HWH Commentary: Scientists worldwide (according to news stories) keep saying that transmission between humans and non-human animals or vice versa is not possible, yet they trace the original transmission to bats. Bats are non-human animals.
Now they say that domestic animals cannot pass the virus onto humans, but they’re vaccinating domestic animals. Against whom? Who are they vaccinating them against? When humans get vaccinated it is most people’s understanding that the purpose is to keep the virus from spreading to other people.
“A recent coronavirus cluster in humans traced to a pet shop worker prompted checks on hundreds of animals in the Chinese-ruled territory, with 11 hamsters found infected, officials said.”
At first glance one could say that either the the hamsters passed the virus onto the workers, or the workers passed the virus onto the hamsters. That human and non-human in the same location contracted the virus would lead anyone to conclude that the two were connected.
That doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. It could be that the workers who contracted the disease did so from other workers or from friends and family outside of work. The hamsters could have just happened to have the same virus and been infected before they arrived at the pet shop.
Or one of the hamsters could have been exposed to the virus before arriving and later infected the other hamsters at the shop.
Denmark culled millions of minks in 2020 to curb COVID mutations.
It may have been a wiser choice to stop farming minks for fur. That being said, how did all these minks contract the virus? The virus had to jump at some point from another animal or another source. An animal doesn’t just start blooming the virus on it’s own. The original animal had to pick it up someplace. In the soil, the water, the food, something humans were disposing of, or some conditions that attracted the virus that made it airborne and isolated and warm and moist enough to keep the virus alive.
The only way the world is going to get a handle on this virus is to dismantle all factory farming operations globally.
Stop eating animals, experimenting on animals, wearing animals.
It may be that where massive numbers of animals are congregated, in very close proximity, conditions are presented and made available under which viruses can be created. A virus. Depending on conditions, any virus. Maybe that’s why there are so many different mutations. Maybe it doesn’t have to be transmitted originally. Maybe it didn’t have to jump inter-and/or intra-species.
The conditions themselves are the original host. The animals infected by the conditions, then become the secondary host. And then it spreads.
The reason it appears that the virus doesn’t jump from one type animal to another is that animals are housed according to type. No one mingles cows with pigs and chickens in the same factory farms. Nor minks with foxes on the same farm. Or goats with lambs.
Herds are separated by animal type. It’s the herd in closed unsanitary environments that create the conditions for a virus to emerge, take hold and spread.
Inside or outside. Could happen in both environments.

Hong Kong to cull 2,000 hamsters after COVID-19 outbreak
Hamsters to be put down after positive coronavirus tests

HONG KONG, Jan 18 (Reuters) – Hong Kong warned people not to kiss pets and ordered a mass cull of hamsters on Tuesday, to the outrage of animal-lovers, after 11 of the rodents tested positive for COVID-19.
A recent coronavirus cluster in humans traced to a pet shop worker prompted checks on hundreds of animals in the Chinese-ruled territory, with 11 hamsters found infected, officials said.
Echoing the mainland’s zero-tolerance policy even as much of the world shifts to living with COVID, Hong Kong ordered 2,000 hamsters “humanely” put down, and imports and sales stopped.Report ad
Various pet shops were shuttered and disinfected around the city, while men in protective gear scoured the store at the heart of the cluster in the bustling Causeway Bay district.
The local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which runs veterinary clinics, urged a rethink.
“The SPCA is shocked and concerned over the recent government announcement on the handling of over 2,000 small animals, which did not take animal welfare and the human-animal bond into consideration,” it said.Report ad
Health Secretary Sophia Chan told a news conference authorities were acting out of caution even though there was no evidence domestic animals can infect humans.
“Pet owners should keep a good hygiene practice, including washing hands after touching the animals, handling their food or other items, and avoid kissing the animals,” Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department director Leung Siu-fai Leung also told reporters.Report ad
Hong Kong has also been testing rabbits and chinchillas but only the hamsters were positive. They were all imported from the Netherlands, according to local broadcaster RTHK.
Around the world, there have been coronavirus cases in dogs and cats too, though scientists say there is no evidence animals play a major role in human contagion.
HAMSTER HOTLINE
Leung said the Hong Kong hamsters had to be put down as it was impossible to quarantine and observe each one. Buyers of hamsters after Dec. 22, 2021 should hand them to authorities for culling and not leave them on streets, he added.
A hotline for enquiries was being set up, while some 150 of the pet shop’s customers were going into quarantine, officials said.
Last September, three pet cats that tested positive for coronavirus were put down in the Chinese city of Harbin, bringing a social media backlash. read more
Elsewhere, Denmark culled millions of mink in 2020 to curb COVID-19 mutations. And some Russian regions have inoculated animals against COVID-19 after Moscow said it had registered the world’s first vaccine for animals following tests with dogs, cats, foxes and mink. read more
Nikolaus Osterrieder, dean of the Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences at the City University of Hong Kong, said human-to-animal-to-human transmission chains are rare but do happen as with mink cases.
“It is obviously a drastic measure but one that is a consequence of zero Covid (rules),” he said of Hong Kong’s moves. “Hamsters are very susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and can produce large amounts of virus.”
Global welfare group World Animal Protection said the measures were premature. “Culling animals should always be a last resort and we encourage governments to explore other options, such as quarantine, first,” said research head Jan Schmidt-Burbach.
After three months without any local transmission, Hong Kong has seen dozens of new coronavirus cases in humans this year, triggering fresh curbs on flights and social life.
Thousands of people have been sent to a makeshift government quarantine facility. Most of the new cases are of the highly-contagious new Omicron variety, though the cluster traced to a pet shop worker was Delta.
‘Over 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.
How is this not extreme discrimination? JEWISH ONLY? Sounds like water fountains FOR WHITES ONLY in America many decades ago. Did the Jews learn nothing from that?
JEWISH ONLY neighborhoods? So this was Adolf Hitler’s plan? Free land in Palestine in exchange for free work in forced labor factories in Europe during WWII?
Why would Jews make a deal with Adolf Hitler?
How does the world body stand still when this is done in clear view and in clear violation of international law?
How is this not JEWISH SUPREMACY?
There can be no excuses or deals allowing subjugation via discrimination and slavery.
So these terrorist Jews force themselves onto the land of Palestine uprooting Palestinians by uprooting trees, destroying crops so they cannot eat or sell their product.
Apparently these terrorist Jews don’t care much about the environment either, considering it takes years for an olive tree to produce a significant amount of fruit.
Apparently laws don’t apply to Jewish people stealing land and destroying crops and forcing Palestinians to live elsewhere.
The Jews in the region have long claimed that the Palestinians posed an existential threat to them. The only existential threat in the region is the one systematically implemented and executed against the Palestinians by the Jews.
The Jews are wiping out the Palestinians not the other way around.
Apparently the world is holding the Palestinians hostage – an entire race of people. That slavery system that was abolished in the USA didn’t die; it was transferred elsewhere in the world and now thrives with Adolf Hitler’s best friends, the Jews, the designated slave masters.
The systematic takeover was all laid out in full view of the world and the world can’t move. That’s how powerful a band of gypsies can become with nuclear weapons in their arsenal!

Jewish settlers on Thursday uprooted hundreds of olive trees in the towns of Yatta and Tarqumiya, near Hebron (Al-Khalil), the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Fouad al-Amour, Coordinator of the Protection and Steadfastness Committees in Masafer Yatta, told WAFA that illegal Jewish settlers destroyed a one-donum-and-a-half grove planted with over 60 olive trees belonging to Ahmad Hamada.
Al-Amour added that the assailants came from the settlement outpost of Avigayil, in the occupied South Hebron Hills, while pointing that the move was intended to displace Palestinian farmers and make room for colonial settlement expansion.
Meanwhile, settlers also uprooted 300 olive saplings belonging to Atta Ja‘afra and his brother, Aziz, in the al-Taybeh area of the town, according to the coordinator of the Protection and Resilience Committees, Muhammad Abu Dabbous.
Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.

Impeccably preserved dinosaur embryo looks as if it ‘died yesterday’
HWH Comment: It doesn’t really look like it died yesterday, since the preserved egg contained bones absent the flesh. The photo that includes the flesh is an artist’s rendition of how the bird dinosaur may have looked just prior to dying.
It appears that dinosaurs were actually birds. Big birds.
Formerly thought to be reptiles that flew, it may turn out that they were birds that don’t fly. Was there ever an conclusive evidence that reptilian dinosaurs did indeed have wings to fly or wings for some other function?
By Laura Geggel 6 days ago 12.21.2021
The embryo’s position shows it was getting ready to hatch.
Reconstruction of oviraptorid embryo.
A reconstruction of Baby Yingliang, an oviraptorid dinosaur embryo laid 70 million years ago in what is now China.
About 70 million years ago, a wee ostrich-like dinosaur wriggled inside its egg, putting itself into the best position to hatch. But that moment never came; the embryo, dubbed “Baby Yingliang,” died and remained in its egg for tens of millions of years, until researchers found its fossilized remains in China.
Researchers have discovered many ancient dinosaur eggs and nests over the past century, but Baby Yingliang is one of a kind.
“This skeleton is not only complete from the tip of the snout to the end of its tail; it is curled in a life pose within its egg as if the animal died just yesterday,” said study co-researcher Darla Zelenitsky, an assistant professor of paleontology at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.
This curled-up pose is what interests researchers. Living bird embryos are known to move into the best position, known as tucking behaviors, to help them hatch from their eggs. But these behaviors had never been documented in dinosaurs, until now.
“The discovery of this embryo hints that some pre-hatching behaviours (e.g. tucking), which were previously considered unique to birds, may be rooted more deeply in dinosaurs many tens or hundreds of millions of years ago,” study co-lead researcher Fion Waisum Ma, a doctoral student of paleobiology at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, told Live Science in an email.
Baby Yingliang’s egg — unearthed in the city of Ganzhou, in southeastern China, in 2000 — wasn’t analyzed until 2015. That’s when Yingliang Group, a Chinese stone company that had acquired the egg and put it into storage, rediscovered the fossil during the construction of Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum, a public museum in Xiamen, China.
“Fossil preparation was conducted and revealed the beautiful skeleton of the embryo,” Ma said. “It is one of the best-preserved dinosaur embryos ever reported in science.”
The embryo of the oviraptorid — a bipedal, toothless, bird-like, feathered dinosaur — measured nearly 11 inches (27 centimeters) long, but it was curled up to fit into its 6.7-inch-long (17 centimeters) oval egg. The skeleton was scrunched up, with its head lying on the dino’s abdomen and its legs on each side of the head. It appears to be a late-stage embryo, “which roughly correlates to a 17-day-old chicken embryo (which hatches on day 21),” Ma said in the email.
Just like a well-positioned chicken embryo, Baby Yingliang was getting ready to hatch. In chicken eggs, the embryo moves its body and limbs to get into a series of tucking postures a few days before hatching, she said. On hatching day, the embryo is in the best position to crack out of the egg, with its body curled and its right wing on top of its head. This position is thought to help stabilize and direct the head when the chicken embryo uses its beak to crack the eggshell. “Failure to do so increases the chance of death, as the embryo is less likely to break out of the egg successfully,” Ma said.
In essence, birds inherited these pre-hatching behaviors from their dinosaur ancestors, Zelenitsky said. “This study strengthens our understanding of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds,” she said.
The study was published online Tuesday (Dec. 21) in the journal iScience.
Details of 1948 Massacres against Palestinians Revealed in Classified Israeli Documents – Yahoo news
HWH COMMENT: I don’t believe the world didn’t know. It’s easy after the long fact to plead ignorance.
Britain had to know; they’re the ones who initiated a coincidal arrangement with the Jews in Palestine for Britain to release Palestine from it’s colonial grip whilst the Jews prepared to slip their foot into the same dictator role only under the label of occupation.
Sitting on the fence as they like to call their neutrality isn’t neutral at all. Who stands down and still in the face of massacres committed against an unarmed and ill-prepared people?
They’re always working behind the scenes they claim. Prove it then. What are you working toward? How many more decades will it take? Until all the Palestinians go home to other nations? Palestine is the home of Palestinians. That’s their Homeland.
Talks are under way? Prove it. Bring it all out into the open so the whole world can bear witness to the process. Make it a learning endeavor for all the world to experience by which the whole world benefits.
Behind closed doors is a strategy of the past. It takes too long. Let the world participate. It shouldn’t be one country’s decision anyway. There you go again with that supremacy trick of leaning over backwards to disprove the truth. It isn’t working any more; you’ve been exposed.
Open the closed doors and let the world in. No more secrets. Secrets tell lies and lies enslave, torture and slaughter people.
No preconditions. Israel is on trial; they don’t get to tell the judges their demands on how the trial proceeds. There can be no neutrality when people are living in a prison called occupation. To survive and thrive there?
The audacity of slave masters running any operation that involves any sacrifice.
You better have a plan Palestine. A plan other than putting on the shoulders of others that which is your responsibility. Why do you keep expecting others to present the solutions?
Tell the world how Israel declassified the least damning documents that were all altered on the ground in real time as the atrocities occurred. Nothing went unaltered, yet the bodies were proof, so they burned them – open air furnaces.
Build a Palestinian Holocaust Museum in Palestine
Retake what’s yours.
Demand all Israeli documents. A country with a military needs to enter Israel and seize all applicable records and release them to the entire world. Now. Peacefully.
Do you ever wonder why it took so long for Britain to leave the countries they occupied by force? They’re slow-pokers. They make a lot of quick meaningless movements to trick the world into thinking they’re getting out as fast as they can, when in reality they’re not making the large, bold moves required for a fast exit. They know what those moves entail and they have the mechanisms to implement them, but they don’t have the will.
Willpower isn’t their strong suit. Avoidance by putting everything under the secret talks label suits them better. They’re hoarders of people and lands and hoarders have a tough time letting go of anything they seize.
The English understand the Jews; they’re two peas in the same pot of stew. The Brits don’t understand why the Palestinians don’t just assimilate like all those peoples from all those lands that Britain colonized.
Ninety percent of the world assimilated under British colonialism/occupation. Even they submitted to the Vikings (Norway) when the Vikings invaded them.
Do you want to know why assimilation won’t and can’t occur in Palestine?
The Jews won’t allow assimilation; they choose to stay separate. They don’t play well with others unless they’re in charge of the game and they make the rules that benefit themselves, at everybody else’s expense, while claiming hard sacrifices, minutia in reality. They don’t care enough about non-Jews to seek fairness for all. It’s not in their nature. And when truth be told the Brits are notorious cheaters.
Jews play the long game, making the lives of Palestinians living hells so they’ll move out of the region. Ariel Sharon once had a plan to vacate Palestine of Palestinians by giving them all a one way ticket to Siberia. Yes, it was serious enough to make the news.
Open all the doors. No more secrets. Secrets tell lies.
Palestinians, Jews, the world deserve the truth in all matters that affect their lives.
If there’s a needs for secrets, then somebody did somebody wrong. And that wrong begs to be righted.

Details of 1948 Massacres against Palestinians Revealed in Classified Israeli Documents
December 10, 2021
Palestinian refugees were forced by Zionist militias to flee their homes during the ‘Nakba’ – The Catastrophe – of 1948.
Israeli government discussions on the massacres perpetrated by Israeli soldiers in 1948 were declassified for the first time this week in an investigative report published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and the Akevot Institute for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Research.
Entitled, ‘Classified Docs Reveal Massacres of Palestinians in ’48 – and What Israeli Leaders Knew’, the report exposes two large-scale operations launched by the Israeli army in October 1948, one based in the south, known as Operation Yoav, which opened a road to the Negev; and another in the north, Operation Hiram.
As part of the latter, within 30 hours, Israeli soldiers attacked dozens of Palestinian villages, forcefully expelling tens of thousands of Palestinian residents, while thousands of others fled.
Nearly 120,000 Palestinians, including the elderly, women and children resided in the area; however, following Israel’s massacre only 30,000 Palestinians were left.
“Within less than three days, the IDF [army] had conquered the Galilee and also extended its reach into villages in southern Lebanon. The overwhelming majority of them took no part in the fighting,” reported Haaretz.
The investigation also revealed accounts regarding previously unknown massacres that took place in the villages of Al-Reineh, just north of Nazareth, Meron and in Al-Burj.
Before the brutal attacks against Palestinians during Operation Hiram, the village of Al-Burj, presently known as Modi’in Illit – a large ultra-Orthodox settlement in the occupied West Bank – was raided in July 1948.
According to a document found in the Yad Yaari Archive, four elderly men remained in the village after its capture. “Hajj Ibrahim, who helped out in the military kitchen, a sick elderly woman and another elderly man and elderly woman.”
Eight days after the village was raided by Israeli occupation forces, Ibrahim was sent on an errand to pick vegetables by an Israeli soldier, in order to keep him away from the atrocity the soldiers were ready to commit.
“The three others were taken to an isolated house. Afterward an anti-tank shell was fired. When the shell missed the target, six hand grenades were thrown into the house. They killed an elderly man and woman, and the elderly woman was put to death with a firearm,” according to the document.
“Afterward they torched the house and burned the three bodies. When Hajj Ibrahim returned with his guard, he was told that the three others had been sent to the hospital in Ramallah. Apparently he didn’t believe the story, and a few hours later he too was put to death, with four bullets,” added the document.
The declassified State Archives also consist of several pages of minutes from those years, including the testimony of Shmuel Mikunis, a member of the Provisional State Council (predecessor to the Knesset) from the Communist Party, who reported on the atrocities perpetrated in the Meron region.
The declassified documents, investigated in Haaretz’s report also includes details on the Hula massacre in Lebanon and the depopulated Palestinian village of Deir Yassin. Though the report is lengthy, the paper highlights that many more details remain unknown.
Mentally ill people should not be allowed to beat people up for therapy on social media.
It happens all over social media. That’s where the abusers congregate under the auspices of TROLL to get their daily dose of treatment by abusing others.
Facebook allows it, since they’re told by government forces, better to let them get it all out for free, rather than governments having to pay for their treatment.
END THAT PRACTICE NOW.
NO TROLLS ALLOWED.
When a person has over fifty accounts under variations of the same name that should be a red flag.
They’re not only trolls, they’re hoarders and hunters. They multiply everything they do.
They don’t just leave one comment, they leave a multitude of comments on one person’s post.
They litter, then leave their stink in a laughing emoji, just in case you can delete their comments.
HOARDERS OF ANIMALS are a danger to those they claim to protect
A hoarder is a hoarder, but hoarders of people and other animals are the worst. It is not for the sake of the animals they claim to protect, but for their own sake, needing absolute control over all they encounter and touch.
A suggestion: WAIT. DON’T RESPOND. The minute you respond, they’ll slap you harder, get under your skin and into your psyche. Then you belong to them. They own you.
They’re predators laughing all the while they mess you up. FACEBOOK likes them, otherwise they wouldn’t be allowed to conduct themselves in predatory ways.
Most unsuspecting people who are attacked by trolls aren’t qualified to be therapists for the mentally ill occupying social media. The government has no idea the damage these people do to their victims, all just to get whatever evil is in their minds out of theirs and into yours, claiming they’re helping their victims, when in reality they’re satisfying their unnatural urges to destroy others.
Ban Trolls.
Placating people who burn cities, blow up buildings and terrorize individuals, neighborhoods and nations because they’re mentally ill needs to end. Feeding the mentally ill unsuspecting victims to settle them doesn’t cure their mental illness.
When Nancy Pelosi stated that cartel and gang killings were cartel and gang related, so it didn’t matter, because they were killing each other she showed her discriminatory colors.
In other words, it’s okay to rape someone in prison, because they’re all criminals anyway, and it’s okay to kill cartel and gang members because they’re criminals too – they keep it to themselves.
And it’s okay to destroy people on social media, because if you’re on social media you’re asking for it. It’s like the girl who gets raped and is claimed by both male and female genders of the world that she was looking to be raped. Or those who support prostitution to keep the rape rate down for non-prostitutes.
Feeding the mentally ill victims doesn’t stop the behavior. It facilitates the behavior. It’s a perversion that Facebook freely engages in and facilitates. You can’t cure these people, so feed them a few or a few thousand victims. When does it end?
If you don’t want to get beat up, then stay away from social media?
No. That’s blaming the victim. Stop saying and acting like it’s okay to abuse certain individuals or certain groups. Murder is murder, rape is rape. Assault is assault. Slander is slander. Bullying is bullying no matter who does it or who it hurts.
Stop using prisons as mental institutions that leave the patient untreated to fend for themselves in a caged, abusive environment.
Rehabilitate. Rehabilitate. Rehabilitate. More funds are needed.
If the USA would stop wanting and trying to rule the world their way, they’d be able to care for their own citizens.
It all starts with bullying. Making fun of people, taunting them, then it progresses to outright abuse, especially when they’re on social media and not in the physical world of face-to-face.
Nobody knows how social media abuse affects the family and work life of the abused. Eventually abused people will act out in socially unacceptable ways, while the bullying by trolls remains socially acceptable.
Look at the hypocrisy of how we treat people differently depending on their status.
“What does a troll symbolize?
In the plays of the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen, especially Peer Gynt (1867) and The Master Builder (1892), trolls are used as symbols of destructive instincts. Trolls in modern tales for children often live under bridges, menacing travelers and exacting tasks or tolls. troll | legendary creature | Britannica“

What George Tenet really meant when he said very publicly, “The CIA never lies”.
Eventually they tell the truth – maybe twenty years or fifty years later, when the memory of the world fades or fogs and nobody cares enough to protest something from the past. That’s what he really meant. But some secrets are too horrific to think about, much less speak or write about – and all intelligence agencies know that truth.
What kind of lies was George Tenet, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency, talking about? And to whom does the CIA not lie?
Lies concerning when, where, what, how questions? Is a cover-up a lie? Does lying by omission count as a lie? Does threatening someone with harm when you know it won’t happen count as a lie? Does taking credit for killing someone’s dog count as a lie?
Was he referring to the CIA lying to the President of the United States or in all circumstances and instances?
Lying by persuasion, does that count as a lie?
Lying by implication using raised eyebrows, shoulder shrugs and eye rolls are they lies too?
Smoke and mirrors, cloaks and daggers? They don’t tell lies?
Frankly, it would serve a better purpose if the CIA told the world under what rare circumstances they do tell the truth
Does the CIA lie when they torture a person, physically or psychologically?
Do they lie when they conduct experiments on unsuspecting individuals?
Executing/conducting operations in secret, is that a lie?
Withholding information, is that a lie?
Making false promises is that a lie?
Lying to the FBI is a crime.
“Under Section 1001 of title 18 of the United States Code, it is a federal crime to knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the United States.”
Lying to the FBI is a crime. Unless they can threaten jail time for lying, they’ll never solve any crimes. They don’t know how to solve crimes without the use of stables of snitches to essentially do it for them. Confidential informants. Confidential implies lies. The confidentiality aspect is what is the lie.
The FBI and all law enforcement lie so much about everything and everyone, that they lost the ability to tell the truth in any area of contention or concern. Even in their private lives, there is no truth-telling to be found anywhere. Everything is slanted for their benefit.
Should lying be a crime? If so, then it must apply to everyone. But it doesn’t.
You can freely rape someone in prison and get away with that crime. Do it outside of prison and you’ll end up in prison for the same deed that is legal in prison.
Has anyone ever won a case against an individual who raped them in prison? Has a rape case ever been brought to trial? One or more prisoners, raping another prisoner.
When a person gets convicted of any crime and sentenced to prison, along with the sentence comes permission by the State to be raped. That should be a crime. Charge the State with rape. Preauthorized rape. State sanctioned rape. No prosecution for the crime, gives the permission.
Permission by the State to be raped for stealing a piece of pizza three times under the three strikes and you go to prison rule. I think that three strikes law is also unconstitutional. You get a prison sentence before you even go to trial. Who sets the number? Should any number be set? No. Life in prison for committing a crime three times? Minor crimes at that.
Everybody lies. Some more than others. There’s a continuum from less to more. Most people – way over the fifty-one percent required for a majority – lie in some form every time they open their mouths to speak. The second that mouth opens their mind is formulating a lie for the purpose of persuasion. Many people fill in the blanks with what they don’t know. No one remembers accurately all the time, especially when being interrogated.
Lying is a survival tool that all people use to keep from being harmed. It’s a natural reflexive action to lie when under duress of any kind for any reason. It is as natural as breathing.
sldt
For that reason, lying to the FBI about one’s self for protective purposes cannot legitimately be prosecuted as a crime. It goes against an animal’s nature not to lie. Telling the truth is more difficult than lying, because it’s more damning.
That’s why we have courts, to decide which side, plaintiff or defendant, is lying or smudging the truth.
When the FBI can’t garner enough evidence against an individual to build a prosecutable case, they trap the person under investigation in a lie and prosecute them for that.
How about when politicians lie, making promises to the populace to get voted into office, then reneging on those promises once the votes are tallied? Those lies harm people, lots of people. But there are never any legal consequences.
Making lying a crime to use as a weapon against anyone needs to be outlawed. There are a lot of FBI agents past and present who should be in prison right now for the lies they told that ruined families and individuals for the purpose of getting information that wasn’t there. It’s not enough to say, we make mistakes too. Yes, but you’re not sitting in prison because of it.
Lying is part of freedom of speech. Criminalizing lying to assure a conviction in lieu of prosecuting the person for the crime for which they are under investigation could and should be found unconstitutional and banned in all countries where it is exercised.
It is morally wrong, if nothing else.

The Pfizers Sores Came Back one year almost to the day
Nearly always it seems some region in some country is being bombed – aerial bombed. If not by the USA, then some other country or nationstate is doing our bidding for us.
The’ll claim not to be always in a war, or always bombing someplace or some group of people into submitting to their will. Jews in Israel, Palestine don’t fight on the ground. They don’t want fatalities, so they bomb from above – targeting regions where there’s a disproportionate gap in military strength, so they don’t get hit back.
I say, if we’re bombing someplace, we’re in a war and at war. Evidently, we’re not AT war. Therein lies a difference. IN or AT decides whether there’s a declaration or not.
The Defense Department redefined the word war when applying it to the United States of America.
Unless the ones we’re bombing are bombing us back, we’re not AT war.
Even after the 9-11 attacks on America and even though we carpet-bombed Iraq and cave-bombed Afghanistan resulting in huge fatalities, the USA refused to say they were at war with any country. Those were two major countries with large numbers of inhabitants.
They instead called it a war on terror – which essentially meant any country giving safe haven to terrorists became a target for a terrorist exorcism via the bomb, if they didn’t fight terrorism within their own respective countries. The USA charged themselves with the duties of how the targeted countries were to accomplish that.
In hindsight some news reporters began calling it the Iraq war or the War in Afghanistan, even though the defense department didn’t declare war after the attack on American soil on 11 September 2001. There never was a declaration of war, so why try to fool people, fool the world, by calling it the Iraq war and the War In Afghanistan?
Semantics was the word of the day. It’s all in how you phrase or purse it.
That would have essentially meant that two or more sides or opponents abide by similar rules of engagement. The USA didn’t want an engagement. They wanted to respond to the attack against America by killing at least half a million people while the enemy stood down, except for a few scattered rebel groups that had some impact, but in comparison, it wasn’t a close fight. Not nearly.
One must wonder, while the USA and Britain militarily overpowered both Iraq and Afghanistan by such a huge gap, why it took ten years for one and twenty years for the other to leave the decimated countries? Basically, the only ones engaging were the aggressors: American and British forces. Logistical support was provided by other nations including France, Germany, Australia and Canada.
The USA aggressive involvement in Iraq ended 15 December 2011 having lasted a little more than ten years.
The USA aggressive involvement in Afghanistan began and ended 7 October 2001 – 30 August 2021 nearly twenty years long.
If you can believe the figures: During the War in Afghanistan, according to the Costs of War Project, the war killed 176,000 people in Afghanistan: 46,319 civilians, 69,095 military and police and at least 52,893 opposition fighters.
If you can believe the figures, and the counts for Iraq military and civilians appear to be intentionally murky no matter where the research leads, about half a million Iraqis were killed by coalition/allied forces against Iraq, in Iraq. Most people believe the count is much higher – so high to be an embarrassment.
What are the rules of engagement in the military?
“Formally, rules of engagement refer to the orders issued by a competent military authority that delineate when, where, how, and against whom military force may be used, and they have implications for what actions soldiers may take on their own authority and what directives may be issued by a commanding officer.”
If killing a half million people isn’t a declaration of war, then it’s a holocaust.
CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA
“What began as protests against President Assad’s regime in 2011 quickly escalated into a full-scale war between the Syrian government—backed by Russia and Iran—and anti-government rebel groups—backed by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and others in the region. Three campaigns drive the conflict: coalition efforts to defeat the Islamic State, violence between the Syrian government and opposition forces, and military operations against Syrian Kurds by Turkish forces.”
Getting involved in other countries’ civil wars or civil disputes leads to increased fatalities and massive suffering.
5,681,856 registered Syrian refugees in five countries plus North Africa.
6.2 million displaced people within Syria
“According to estimates by the United Nations, more than 400,000 people have been killed in Syria since the start of the war. The UN reports that, as of January 2019, more than 5.6 million have fled the country, and over 6 million have been internally displaced. Many refugees have fled to Jordan and Lebanon, straining already weak infrastructure and limited resources. More than 3.4 million Syrians have fled to Turkey, and many have attempted to seek refuge in Europe.”
The USA hasn’t declared war on or against Syria, but significantly contributed to a massive escalation of a Syrian civil war, essentially involving the super powers of the world taking sides and again decimating a country and its people.
Again, a half million people dead, millions displaced with no end in sight and we rarely hear anything about it in the news.
If killing a half million people isn’t a declaration of war, then it’s a holocaust.

The Pfizers Sores Came Back one year almost to the day
Don’t slit your dogs throat in front of me and tell me you have to eat your friend, because you have no money.
How much did that iphone cost, and the monthly service for internet and those new clothes and shoes you wear? How much did you pay to have your hair formed into fifty braids? You can afford all that and not a loaf of bread and box of dates?
I suppose you have the tools to skin your friend and debone and deorgan your friend. Do you keep your friend’s eyes for a trophy, the teeth too? Something to remember your friend by?
Do you have knives sharp enough to cut all the flesh and receptacles to catch the blood? Do you have access to a refrigerator and a freezer in case you don’t sell the pieces of your friend in one day or it spoils right?
So you’re not hungry, because you’re selling the meat from the dogs whom you call best friend?
Define hunger. Because I can’t see that you have it. All I see in your eye is lust for the blood and flesh of another animal. Human too when you can get away with it.
In today’s world nothing justifies it. If you can hunt, you can plant the seeds or seedlings and tend to them to produce what you need to survive and thrive.
Hunger is an excuse to murder.
It’s a lazy person who hunts and slaughters rather than plants and grows their food. A person without a conscience. A danger to all animals including the human animal. That’s you who hang and skin and eat your friend at a family gathering.

The Pfizers Sores Came Back one year almost to the day
NO JEW JUNK TODAY PLEASE I’m a little frazzled by the world STANDING UP for SLAVERY.
As always, law enforcement and terrorism agencies/bureaus look for terrorists in all the wrong places due to political influencers, past history and their own personal prejudices.
They should be taking measures to prevent political coups by foreign investors with foot soldiers already on American soil with many more on the way, dressed to blend in with children in strollers, and grassroots vigilantes won’t feel compelled to save their nation, because FBI and Homeland Security are too reticent to stand up for the institutions and people they are sworn to protect.
Since when is it the USA’s job to protect the right of Jews to seek and secure using any means necessary a Jewish majority In Palestine or anywhere else? Since when is it the USA’s job to feed Black Americans, the skin of White Americans to appease their need for blood, power and war?
Where’s the CIA in Central America? Why do USA citizens have to pay out four billion dollars from the taxes they pay to make Central Americans stay home? Those individuals rushing to the border won’t get any of that money. It’s a pay off to Central American politicians, just like the cartels do. Now we do it.
How many USA politicians get paid by the USA cartels to turn a blind eye? Nancy Pelosi? She supports the cartels, as long as they kill and torture their own. And those coming to join; it’s okay for the cartels to torture and kill them too? Watch what you say. Trump never did have a monopoly on not thinking through the words before he spoke them, as the democrats kept insisting he did.
Why does Joe Biden recklessly pay politicians in Central America, yet won’t give the real citizens of the USA the coronacovid stimulus checks he promised? Now he wants to negotiate the stimulus checks. I didn’t see him negotiating with Central American Cartels. Or was that already done before the CIA got him elected president? Now there’s a coup for you.
The CIA stages a silent a coup in its own country? Who would believe that? Jews in Palestine would believe it.
Sounds like extortion to me. Is everybody sleeping? You’re more worried about somebody criticizing Jews for enslaving Palestinians on Palestinian land, than someone blowing up the USA southern border to open the flood gates for cartel workers looking for employment in the USA?
How many more cartels are you going to allow exist in the USA? Do they bring all their equipment with them when they cross the border? You know, all their seeds, fertilizer, packing materials? No? Then from whom do they buy their equipment once they’re here? Central Americans aren’t fleeing away from the cartels in Central America; they’re fleeing to them in the USA.
Do your job and stop giving Antifa and Black Lives Terrorists full reign to destroy American towns and cities, and those grassroots vigilantes that you smear with white supremacist labels will work with you, instead of alone, to save this nation from dropping into the hands of terrorists dressed like people going to a ball game with children in tow.
I know, I know, the Jews who are conveniently placed in all influential USA institutions won’t allow a shift in focus away from their Jewish majority agenda, that is quickly spreading worldwide by the way. Once again, nobody sees it, even though the proof is right in front of them.
You’re way off the mark. We’ve already been hit.
Hey, figure it out. I can’t handle your Jew Junk today, so steer clear. I’m operating from a fully invaded coronacovid organism, and I’m not in the mood for your feigned stupidity.
HWH Comment: Looks like we’re not alone in our galaxy after all. Well, you can’t say we’re not alone unless it’s verified, and so continues the mystery.
Common sense, however, would not imply the HOME ALONE HYPOTHESIS. It is more than likely we are not alone rather than alone, just by the mere size of the galaxy, how full it is and the degree of noise, more like a junk yard that talks.
So I would start from the premise of not being alone and grow/develop a better system of discovery. Radio waves doesn’t seem to be producing results.
I get the science part. But in order to get to the verification part, you need to get more wild in your thinking. Your thinking doesn’t have to pass the test of scientific scrutiny. It is in the wild phase that paths to discovery open for further discovery and that’s what you’re looking for, right?
Maybe the radio wave wasn’t SENT, as the article intimates. Maybe it was simply emitted due to a natural process.
“Naturally occurring radio waves are emitted by lightning and astronomical objects, and are part of the blackbody radiation emitted by all warm objects. Radio waves are generated artificially by transmitters and received by radio receivers, using antennas.” Wikipedia
An ‘unusual’ radio wave sent from the middle of the Milky Way has experts confused
Jordan Mendoza, USA TODAY Tue, October 12, 2021, 6:00 PM
Astronomy experts have detected “unusual signals” coming from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, leading experts to believe an undiscovered stellar object could be behind the strange radio waves.
Objects throughout the galaxy have changing magnetic fields that produce radio waves, according to NASA. During its life cycle, a star emits light across the electromagnetic spectrum, including some waves invisible to the human eye. The amount of light a star gives off depends on where it is in its cycle.
But the radio waves picked up by a team of international researchers are unusual for a variety of reasons. Ziteng Wang, lead author of a study on the findings published in The Astrophysical Journal and a doctoral candidate at the University of Sydney’s school of physics, said the object’s brightness varies dramatically, and it will randomly switch on and off.
“The strangest property of this new signal is that it is has a very high polarisation. This means its light oscillates in only one direction, but that direction rotates with time,” Wang said in a statement. “We’ve never seen anything like it.
Wang added his team originally thought the signal came from a pulsar, a heavily dense, rapidly spinning star that has collapsed and as a result, gives off solar flares. Solar flares can go on for minutes to hours, making them in, a sense, random. That was dismissed as a cause, however, because the radio waves “don’t match what we expect from these types of celestial objects.”
The team from Australia, Germany, the United States, Canada, South Africa, Spain and France made the discovery in west Australia. The object, named after the radio telescope and space coordinates on which it was found, ASKAP J173608.2-321635, was discovered as part of a project to find never-before-seen space objects.
When the radio wave was first picked up, Tara Murphy, Wang’s doctoral supervisor and professor from the Sydney Institute for Astronomy, said its behavior was “extraordinary.”
“This object was unique in that it started out invisible, became bright, faded away and then reappeared,” Murphy said.
Researchers received six radio waves over nine months last year, but when they tried to visually find it, nothing came up. It wasn’t until a few weeks after they used radio telescope in South Africa that the signal once again appeared.
“Luckily, the signal returned, but we found that the behavior of the source was dramatically different – the source disappeared in a single day, even though it had lasted for weeks in our previous ASKAP observations,” Murphy said.
No clear answer as to what is sending the radio waves has been determined, but Murphy hopes that as more powerful telescopes become available in the coming years, the mystery will be solved.

To Vegans On Facebook Who Condemn Those Who Get Vaccinated.
I’m animal-free. I eat no animal products. I don’t wear them. I don’t support the use and abuse of animals in any way. I contracted coronaCOVID virus before the vaccines were available. My husband got it at work, then he gave it to me. I got vaccinated when I was allowed to get vaccinated and because I didn’t want to get COVID again.
My lifelong work for the animals isn’t over yet. My survival was at risk. I’m 72 years old and I’m not nearly finished. That’s all I do is work for them. Some day humans won’t be allowed to enslave, torture and slaughter other beings. Until that day comes I do what I need to survive to work another day.
My husband and I are in long COVID. He is still in heart and kidney failure – will be out of work another year – but is on the mend.
I’m not advising one way or the other.
The two vaccines were no walk in the park. I’m just getting over the effects of the second vaccine and feeling somewhat normal – for me. I’m not looking forward to the third.
However, I’ll be taking it primarily to protect my husband. If I get some variant of the virus again, which is possible, I’ll give it to him and he might not survive another bout.
Every year I get a flu shot and if I get an infection I take antibiotics, both of which are the result of extreme animal suffering. Where possible I purchase supplements in animal-free capsules. Someday they will all be animal-free. If I need certain vaccinations to travel outside the USA I will take them.
No one person in the world has devoted as much time to the rights of all animals including humans throughout my life as I have without payment.
Instead of beating people up on THE STREET for being vaccinated, maybe wear a mask and keep your distance and when you start feeling sick stay home.
You may think because they’re vaccinated you don’t have to be, which means you think the vaccine works. But it doesn’t always work all the time.
You may think that having had coronaCOVID before being vaccinated, that I shouldn’t need it, since I developed antibodies. Did I develop enough of them and do they stay forever? Why then, every year do we need a new flu shot? What happens to those antibodies year to year, do they self-destruct or what? Did I get a ‘bad’ shot? Many did and didn’t know it.
Most deadly viruses come from the animals we enslave, torture and slaughter for our pleasure. Rather than shame people for being vaccinated, work toward developing vaccines that don’t involve the torture of animals. Instead of criticizing those who take the vaccines, work toward eliminating the exploitation of animals, which is the cause of most deadly viruses in the first place.
❤🍀 I got my dogs vaccinated when they required vaccinations by law. Lilly Belle’s going soon for her yearly.
Somebody hacked into Facebook’s system and added a period to their url address after the com = facebook.com.
At least that’s what my iMac reported. There is a typo in the url address for facebook.com.
That should mean that no one could manually log into or automatically post to Facebook.
In the news a few days ago was a prediction that there would be a huge cyber attack against Facebook. Guess they had inside knowledge from those who orchestrated the attack.
Maybe Facebook did it themselves to quell the chatter about Facebook practices and policies that were hidden enough to require a whistleblower coming out of the closet in protest.
Three parties will likely be needed to form a coalition after the German parliamentary elections. Here are five takeaways from election night.
German voters chose a new federal parliament, known as the Bundestag, on Sunday, in a nail-biting election that will determine Angela Merkel’s successor.
Merkel is stepping down after 16 years in office and three candidates campaigned to fill the chancellor’s shoes: Armin Laschet from the centre-right CDU, Olaf Scholz from the centre-left SPD, and Annalena Baerbock from the pro-environment Greens.
Here are five takeaways from the elections:
Social Democrats and Christian Democratic Union in tight race
The top two German parties were neck-and-neck on election night in the closest German election race since 2002, experts say.
An early exit poll from ZDF had the centre-left Social Democrats at 26% and the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union bloc at around 24%, while the exit poll from German broadcaster ARD had the two parties tied.
This makes it the closest German election since 2002, when the SPD and CDU both received 38.5% of the vote, Dr Matthias Dilling, a lecturer at the University of Oxford, told Euronews, adding that results would likely not be known for a while due to postal voting and COVID-19.
But the party that finishes first may not matter since ultimately parties will have to work together to build a coalition.
“Who will end up being the largest parliamentary group (SPD or CDU/CSU) will be important for the general discussion and negotiations [but will not] be constitutionally binding for who will be leading the next government,” Dilling told Euronews.
“For example, in 1969, 1976, and 1980, the SPD ended up leading the government despite finishing 2nd. Being able to build a majority coalition will ultimately be more important than finishing first.”
Merkel’s party suffers defeat and set to lose seats in Bundestag
Angela Merkel’s party, the CDU, had been trailing the centre-left SPD in opinion polls since the beginning of August. For weeks, the party’s chancellor candidate Armin Laschet had a difficult time charming voters.
And while the result was nearly tied on Sunday night, the CDU could lose more than 45 seats in the current Bundestag, exit polls show.
The results show “a massive decline for Armin Laschet’s CDU – their worst result ever,” said Rafael Loss at the European Council on Foreign Relations’ Berlin office.
“Nevertheless, it will be upon Scholz and Laschet to find common ground with the Greens and the FDP for either a ‘traffic-light coalition’ with Scholz as chancellor or a ‘Jamaica coalition’ under Laschet,” Loss said.
It means that ultimately, Laschet still potential ways of becoming the next chancellor.
Greens win historic results in election but ‘had hoped for more’
The Greens likely had their highest-ever election result in the Bundestag with exit polls showing the party with 14% of the vote share, making them the third-biggest party in parliament
It also means the party will likely be a kingmaker in the next German coalition government.
“We had hoped for more, but it’s still a good election result and it gives us a lot of opportunities to be part of the new German government,” Greens MEP Rasmus Andresen told Euronews from an election event in Kiel, Germany.
“For us, it’s clear that we will just enter in the coalition if a new government would be a climate government. This is what we campaigned for and what our voters are expecting,” said Andresen.
The Greens were also likely to come first in the local Berlin elections, exit polls showed.
Three-party coalitions could be necessary for governing coalition
No party will have enough seats to have a majority which means that they will need to form a governing coalition.
But any coalition outside of a “grand coalition” of the two main parties would need to be made up of three political parties, exit polls show.
The Social Democrats and the Greens had been hoping to form a coalition government but will not have enough seats to do so.
That means that any coalition with the Greens would have to include the conservative Free Democratic Party (FDP), which is projected to win 11.5% of the vote.
Andresen said the Greens would prefer to be in a coalition with the Social Democrats rather than the Christian Democratic Union, although the FDP would prefer being in a coalition with the CDU.
“From my perspective, we have so much more in common with the Social Democrats and not with the FDP,” Andresen said, adding that a coalition is typically based on “a common policy or at least the common understanding of many of those issues, and that’s not the case with the FDP,” Andresen said.
Far-right AfD and far-left Die Linke set to lose seats in parliament
Both the far-right and far-left parties were set to lose seats in Germany’s Bundestag, according to exit polls.
“The three-way race between Olaf Scholz, Armin Laschet and Annalena Baerbock led to a consolidation of the political centre at the expense of the far left and the far-right parties,” said Loss.
“Both the AfD and Die Linke are also being plagued by infighting over personnel and programmatic priorities,” he added.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) could receive 10.6% of the vote, according to German broadcaster ZDF’s exit polls and early counting. That would be down from 12.6% in the previous 2017 elections when the party was the third-largest in Germany.
Loss said it showed that “worryingly, there is a segment of the German population who now openly supports extreme-right politics – a majority even in some eastern states.”
The far-left party, Die Linke, meanwhile, was likely to receive about 5% of the vote, a huge decline from their 9% share of the vote in the 2017 election.
It means that Die Linke doesn’t have enough seats to give the Social Democrats and Greens a majority so SPD candidate Olaf Scholz will have to rely on the Free Democratic Party (FDP) if he wants to lead the next German government.
More hospitals forced to ration care amid delta surge
Coronavirus patients are flooding and straining hospitals across the U.S., particularly in Western states, where administrators are put in positions of needing to ration care as their facilities are pushed to their breaking points by the delta variant.
Alaska this past week joined Idaho in adopting statewide crisis standards of care that provide guidance to health care providers making difficult decisions on how to allocate limited resources. Several hospitals in Montana have either activated crisis standards of care or are considering it as the state is pummeled by COVID-19.
Under the guidelines, providers can prioritize treating patients based on their chances of recovery, impacting anyone seeking emergency care, not just those with COVID-19.
“Ultimately it’s a decision about, at that point in time, who we feel is most likely to benefit from what may be a limited resource,” said Michael Bernstein, regional chief medical officer in Alaska for the health care company Providence.
Typically, crisis standards of care involve a scoring system to determine the patient’s survivability, sometimes including their estimated “life years” and how well their organs are working. Such guidelines do not call for factoring in vaccination status, much like emergency rooms don’t prioritize certain car crash victims based on whether a driver was drinking.
Still, the vast majority of COVID-19 patients overwhelming hospitals are unvaccinated, months after the vaccine became widely available to U.S. adults.
As of Friday, the ICUs in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky and Texas all exceeded 90 percent capacity. The ICUs in Alaska and Montana, meanwhile, were 84 percent and 77 percent full, respectively, according to federal data.
With Alaska seeing its highest rate of COVID-19 hospitalizations since the pandemic started, the Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage decided to start crisis standards of care earlier this month so doctors wouldn’t be forced to make determinations about patients themselves.
“That also ensures that it is equitable [and follows] principles of justice, fairness because we all want to do the right thing,” Bernstein said. “And those types of choices can cause moral pain for health care providers.”
While emergency rooms commonly require physicians to triage and treat patients with the most urgent needs first, the practice is not common when making decisions about “more critical” treatments.
The medical center, particularly the intensive care units, have been “very full,” which Bernstein said is “largely because many COVID patients will progress to needing that level of care.”
At Providence Alaska Medical Center, the surge of COVID-19 patients make up about 24 percent of inpatients, with about 87 to 90 percent of all patients being unvaccinated.
Nationwide, a quarter of the eligible population, or about 70 million people, has not gotten any dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Health officials have repeatedly referred to recent outbreaks as “a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” which President Biden reiterated in a speech on Friday.
“In a country as large as ours, that 25 percent minority can cause an awful lot of damage,” Biden said. “And they are causing a lot of damage.”
Idaho is another state where hospitals are enduring high stress, with officials instituting crisis standards of care statewide earlier this month. This past week, there was a record number of COVID-19 hospitalizations, said Toni Lawson, vice president for government relations at the Idaho Hospital Association.
“It’s just across the board pretty serious, but crisis standards of care has really allowed our hospitals the flexibility to provide care to as many patients as possible,” she said.
Hospitals are participating in statewide calls to organize where patients go, as noncritical patients are sometimes transferred to smaller hospitals to make room in larger hospitals for severe cases.
“Right now, when you go to the hospital, you may not end up” receiving care at the same facility, Lawson said. “You may need to be transferred to another hospital because of capacity issues.”
In several hospitals, providers are adding beds to deal with the surge in new patients.
Gabe Kelen, director of the Johns Hopkins Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response, said health care providers can consider other options like increasing the number of patients each nurse manages, shutting down services such as elective surgeries and assessing the risk of releasing bed occupants to make room for other patients.
But delaying care by months for some patients, for example those with cancer, could jeopardize their health.
“The vaccine deniers obviously in many of our minds are like really, really, really hurting like the whole system, whereas someone who has a heart attack is only attacking their own heart — they’re not attacking everybody else’s,” Kelen added.
But Kelen, who is also an American College of Emergency Physicians board member, said people have to look at it through a medical lens.
“We’ll do our best to save your life, whether you’re vaccinated or not, because that’s the oath that we took,” he said.
Meanwhile, the health care industry is taking a hit of a different kind, with many hospitals across the country experiencing staffing shortages amid burnout. Compared to earlier in the pandemic, there’s more demand on staff to also conduct testing and vaccinations, Kelen said.
Kristina Orfali, a professor of bioethics at Columbia University, said it’s important for hospitals to communicate the crisis standards of care with patients at admission.
“It’s sad, but it’s important that we know about it, and … there’s more transparency to what it is, and I think we should sort of be better in communicating all this,” she said.
Other states have taken steps to revamp their crisis standards of care amid the pandemic, with Hawaii releasing a plan earlier this month. A spokesperson for the Arkansas Department of Health said the state is working on finalizing its standards.
Tennessee declared last week that it is restricting the use of monoclonal antibody treatments to those unvaccinated against COVID-19, following National Institutes of Health guidance to prioritize those who are not fully vaccinated and are at high risk of developing serious COVID-19.
I told everyone the codes are in the recipes. What? You chose not to believe me? You won’t find them listening to me talk or reading what I write on the news, on philosophy, science, art, engineering, social issues or motivational tips.
Scour all the recipes and you’ll see patterns develop like in a painting – a multitude of patterns. Follow the dots; they’re not hidden. You wanted a mosaic of the world. It takes recipes to create one. Food pops up everywhere I travel. Breadcrumbs.
Mess one recipe up to show me you were there and there are consequences for blocking the view for others.
In the past you let your ego’s need to control the gift of others get the better of you.
I advise against it once again.
Laughing is good; it drops your defenses. That’s part of the plan too. Dismiss it out-of-hand; that drops the defenses too. It’s all in the plan, so easy to figure out. So easy to see.
FOLLOW THE FOOD. Might be a good idea to like what you see. SHOW SOME COURTESY FOR A CHANGE OF PACE. If you don’t then I’ll know you’re either stealing and/or lying. Not good for your soul.

Knowing The Streets A Plus Or Minus In Recruitment
Maybe the problem with the police departments across the nation is that police departments hire people FROM the streets, often citing the benefit of experience.
Most think it’s an advantage in that they know how to communicate with those who break the law. That familiarity also breeds contempt.
Does it really take a criminal to catch a criminal?
I think the psychological make up, specifically the impulse control factor in addition to the strict adherence to the rules, hinders their effectiveness.
One might think rule adherence would be in the negative rather than the positive, but it allows them freedom from blame when strictly applied.
As a result, impulse control works in the negative when strictly applying rules. The hand becomes too hard during the enforcement of the act.
Flexibility, which is critical to proper enforcement, is lost when rules are strictly applied, which means FLEXIBLE ENFORCEMENT needs to be taught or retaught from the bottom up.
Accountability when engaging in flexible enforcement however, opens the door to interpretation, thus culpability if too flexible or not flexible enough.
Judges have leeway in sentencing. Law enforcement needs that same leeway, so they can enforce with confidence, instead of strictly abiding by the rules of conduct which, as mentioned, more often result in a hard hand, especially in new recruits FROM the street.
THE STRICTER THE GUIDELINES, THE HARDER THE HAND.

When you breathe something In it’s like eating it.
It goes through your whole system as is, even into your stomach as you swallow saliva that washes your tubes.
Even up into your delicate brain where all your functions are controlled. THE MAIN CONTROL ROOM has a lock on it for a reason – to keep unwanted pollutants out.
It doesn’t always work, though, especially when continually overwhelmed with foreign particulates and vapors not needed for survival.
I walked into an elevator yesterday at the RTA station at W. 25th in Cleveland, Ohio to get up to the WESTSIDE open-air MARKET.
I walked two steps in and quickly withdrew telling Steve “I can’t do that, I can’t breathe that air, I’m taking the stairs”. He used it. I walked up three flights.
He said, what did you do run up the stairs? No, but three flights after breathing that poison slowed me.
People must do things in that elevator that must require disinfecting, maybe they use it as a bathroom or a sex room, because they disinfect the entire elevator, every surface, then close it and that air filled with bathroom deodorizers, and who knows what else, rests stagnant until somebody opens the door. They immediately get walloped with massive stinks of disinfectant, and I’m not talking isopropyl alcohol type of clean, then the heat in the high summer temperatures adds to the poisonous mix. It’s like a death chamber.
When waiting for the train on the platform if you are of the white race you are not safe. People screaming, high on drugs, eyeballing white people, no security present. White people this, white people that, nigger every other word, jumping, darting, getting closer as if testing themselves, will they, can they do it.
Above ground city buses downtown overloaded, many standing, some sitting where there are no seats, bus drivers speeding between stop to stop, kids in the handicap and senior seats. I thought I was in some country in Africa
No thanks Cleveland.
That’s the last time I go to the WESTSIDE MARKET.

Missions regarding: All of Sharon’s writing, cooking and art sites – free style, editorial, prose, activism
AFC GLOBAL MISSIONS ABSOLUTE
I am on a mission to keep animals out of my food, medicine, clothing, non-food products, science, engineering, art, architecture, entertainment…
I do not have to debate the mission.
I already know where I stand.
Using thought, word and deed I transmit my mission to all beings.
Maybe the world doesn’t want an ANIMAL-FREE CUISINE.
Maybe the world doesn’t want a better life through the application of THE FIVE PRINCIPLES.
When the animals are no longer considered slaughter-worthy and/or the world moves on to new exploits, the world will turn exclusively to plants.
When it does, I will have already spent decades developing a world class MAINSTREAM ANIMAL-FREE CUISINE that has already been shared around the world!
And when that happens, the world will want to MATCH it WITH a plan for a better more peaceful and cooperative future for all. And I will already have spent decades preparing for that tide through my own application of THE FIVE PRINCIPLES TO A BETTER LIFE in my own life, which has also been shared around the world – year after year after year. As a result, I know how it works and understand the pitfalls.
Although my focus has been on animal rights, throughout my career I knew the shortest way to my goals was to keep the human animal relevant at all stages of engagement, so I intertwined all animals including the human animal into one lifelong project.
That was quite a job and the highest mountain any human ever climbed alone and succeeded!
So why do it for free?
To keep my work corruption-free. When someone pays a salary, they dictate the terms, meaning what and how and when I write, and the type of recipes I develop, and the suggestions I give in all areas of surviving and thriving for all life.
In addition, I chose not to put my name on other people’s words who work behind the scenes as contributors.
I take credit and responsibility for all of my art – from writing to cooking to painting to activism. That’s who I am and how I prefer to fly.
Although through the lengthy and arduous developmental stages of development I worked alone, I don’t anticipate that being the case for much longer.
THE AFC BLUEPRINT is absolutely inclusive. The worst, best and all the rest of humanity are welcome to the table.
Who has that right to deny anyone what the universe has created for the benefit of all?
Sharon Lee Davies-Tight,at your service
I make recipes using an animal-free products that are available in the market place. I used to just post it on Facebook and Pinterest. But nobody ever saw them.
So now I go to the company’s Facebook Page and post the recipe(s) directly on their Page.
I have never posted on another’s Facebook Page unless it was a recipe I personally developed using an animal-free product that they sell.
That’s good for their business, yet Facebook kept threatening to block me, then they do, then they release me, then it starts all over.
Just wanted to clear that up for when the rumors begin – you know, the terrorist, hidden agenda, manifesto type stuff.
I love to cook and I love even more to feed people. It’s in my DNA. I can’t stop it and frankly I don’t want to. One could say I was chosen by the universe to do exactly what I’m doing – spreading hope through THE FIVE PRINCIPLES TO A BETTER LIFE – no prejudice, discrimination, enslavement, torture and slaughter – one leads to the other if left unchecked.
Yeah, I had a dream alright, it was at a barbecue house and two cooks walked out of the kitchen carrying a long spit, one at each end, a human being slow-cooked to perfection.
I have no interest in undermining the economies of Nations. I’m showing them a better way to survive and thrive absent the enslavement, torture and slaughter of the planet’s precious beings.
The plants were here before the animals and they’ll be here long after the animals have been exterminated by humans. Annihilation simultaneously occurred with self-annihilation. That’s the history already written.
That’s the road humans are on – not to destroy the planet – but to destroy all animals, including themselves. The momentum is reaching the point of no return.
Those other beings whom humans think it their right to slaughter for their self-serving purposes belong to the planet. Humans declared ownership rights over all species who live on Earth.
It was not their right to do that. They got away with mass murder: THE LONGEST RUNNING HOLOCAUST IN THE HISTORY OF THE GALAXY.
It’s past time to stop the carnage…or the universe will exterminate the humans, so that all the other animals can survive and thrive through evolution previously denied.
The humans slay these precious beings in their youth, which blocked the evolutionary process.
Oh they are ripe for evolving, if humans stop blocking the process.

To the pharmaceuticals worldwide: If you can create the dizziness you can factor it out. Stop being so lazy. Figure it out.
Every drug made but particularly those with which seniors are treated contain the dizzy factor as a common side effect.
Consider the number of medications seniors take, each one causing dizziness, then consider the number of falls and the high cost of treatment for broken bones and recovery periods, then consider the frequency of the falls which is often.
Putting every senior in a wheelchair isn’t enough to stop the falls. In fact it makes the falls more likely to occur, since a senior loses their ability to self-correct when out of the chair moving about their living spaces.
“Israel strikes Gaza as Palestinians celebrate prison break”
Sharon Lee Davies-Tight 8 September 2021
What country in the world bombs another country’s military site in response to a prison break? No one would even consider it. Jews are just looking for reasons to bomb and nobody has the will to stop them.
Palestine has a military after all, albeit a rudimentary DIY military. Israeli Jews started that way.
Jews occupying Palestine will never stop warring against Palestinians, otherwise they’d have to declare the war is over. These prisoners are prisoners of war. When the war is over the prisoners get released.
Jews don’t want them released, so they keep popping the Palestinians so they’ll act out – and what animal wouldn’t; humans have trigger points too – so Jews can bomb them again and show the world the Palestinians are war-worthy, which means they are a foreign entity, which means it is an act of war against a foreign entity, which means Jews bombed a foreign country in response to a prison break by activists who dug a tunnel beyond the fence that housed them.
Those are the realities, yet Israel doesn’t recognize Palestine as a sovereign nation. If Palestine were considered by Israel to be a sovereign nation, then the Jews would be in an illegal occupation and declaring war by bombardment in response to a successful prison break by Palestinian prisoners. Note that they’re not calling them Arab, when calling them Palestinian is to their advantage…
Since they are not considered a sovereign nation by Jews, that means Jews are bombing their own people in response to a prison break. They are essentially bombing activists. It’s like a white majority government bombing the homes of the black minority people whose families break out of the white majority’s prison. One nation under God includes all the people inhabiting that nation space.
NO COUNTRY NO RIGHTS. Jews consider Palestinians to be that people without a country. Do you see how Jews flipped that table?
The Jews who cried to Britain they didn’t have a country? The Palestinians had one called Palestine. It’s a name on a map in the back of every bible I ever opened. So Britain returned Palestine to the Palestinians and the Jews moved in en masse in a premeditated attack to decimate the Palestinians, who didn’t have an organized modern military, to claim Palestine their home country.
Home at Last? The problem for them was the name Palestine sounded too much like Palestinian, so over time they slowing but methodically stripped the Palestinians of their identity to call them Arabs. Now they all live on the same land with the Jews in ONE COUNTRY UNDER JEWS.
In the USA and elsewhere Palestinians are not allowed to be counted in the census as Palestinians. They can only be counted as Arabs. The Jews and their British allies cooked the books throughout the world in favor of wiping out the Palestinians so there is no record of their existence. So it’s Hitler’s playbook they use to exterminate the Palestinians.
The reason the Jews gave for the missing classification on the census forms in the USA was because they’re too small to statistically matter. That means they got a statistician to drop off the lower categories of racial and ethnic groups, ignoring altogether the masses of Palestinians who live elsewhere in the world.
The USA is after all a melting pot of racial and ethnic groups that have strong representations elsewhere in the world. The Jews just didn’t want them counted, so they weren’t. Nobody objected who had a voice in the matter, not even black America.
Maybe since the Jews are claiming Palestine as there homeland, the census bureau in the USA should classify them as Arabs too. Many doubt that Jews are a race, since they procreate in everybody else’s ethnic group and race – except for the Hasidic inbreeders. How is it that they appear in all nations, being inbreeders? They must like to travel.
Neither the common Jews nor the Hasidic Jews can prove a particular country of origin, without hammering their stake at several sitings.
The land of Palestine exists, because for millennia Palestinians have lived on it. Their travels kept them closer to home. If anything, Jews are Palestinian, not the other way around. However, since they the Jews want to be separate from everyone else in the world, they dig there heels into the Land of Palestine as their birthright.
A prison break in any other country would not elicit a bombing response. The contradiction here is ONE COUNTRY UNDER JEWS, which means the Jews bombed Arabs in response to a local prison break.
Can you imagine the USA bombing the living locations and working locations of the families of activists who broke out of prison?
What the global Hasidic Jews, the ones driving these wars, failed to understand is that war puts all parties in prison. It seems that the Hasidic Jews thrive in prison. That’s what makes them tick. That’s why they stay separate and erect walls all around them wherever they operate. What that means is never-ending to them. They need that. They need someone to plot against forever. Someone they can depend on always being there for their purpose, not anybody else’s purpose.
The Palestinians were chosen by the Jews to be those people. Like the Native American Indians respecting the animals they need to slaughter to save their spirits because they have none, consuming the spirit of the animals they use for their survival and still do in 2021. Like the Indians, the Jews want the world to accept them as they are resisting evolution at nearly every turn. All inbreeders have that resistance to change in common. All inbreeders are separatists.
They hoard the group and that hoarding mentality spills over into all facets of their lives and all lives they touch. They like to see that process of touching lives light up the skies of their minds; it’s a thrill like no other. I can see it in their eyes when that happens, when they’re about to consume you. The only way to achieve that is through ownership. Total control.
