Australian MP says bureaucrats who banned hydroxychloroquine as COVID cure 'should be taken to the criminal court in the Hague' | 27 Sept 2020 | Liberal MP Craig Kelly says the ban placed on COVID-19 treatment hydroxychloroquine by Australian bureaucrats violates the Hippocratic Oath taken by doctors and is based on a study since proven false. Mr Kelly said health bureaucrats interfered in the doctor-patient relationship by prohibiting the use of hydroxychloroquine even if the doctor thought the treatment would save the patient's life. Health bureaucrats have "violated the very first principle of the Hippocratic Oath" which is to 'do no harm'," he said. Mr Kelly told Sky News technically bureaucrats should only ban the use of hydroxychloroquine if the evidence shows beyond all reasonable doubt that firstly, hydroxychloroquine doesn't work and secondly, that it is dangerous. "Recent studies show that proposition is no longer sustainable...and they must lift their bans otherwise they are engaged in crimes against humanity and they should be taken to the criminal court in the Hague," he said. "They are withholding medical treatment from Australians that the evidence shows can save their lives." Mr Kelly also said the National COVID-19 Clinical Evidence Taskforce which made the authoritative decision banning hydroxychloroquine rely upon the results of a flawed study conducted at the Oxford University.

CDC and Fauci's NIAID Add Non-Pneumonia Deaths to US COVID-19 Totals Unlike Other Countries - If These Deaths are Removed, US Has 86,000 COVID-19 Deaths | 26 Sept 2020 | For months doctors and investigative journalists have wondered why state coronavirus death counts include motorcycle accidents, homicides, birth defects, gunshot wounds and thousands of intentional injuries and poisonings to the US Coronavirus death totals. It's almost as if the medical elites are doing all they can to pad the coronavirus death counts? In Singapore the medical experts follow the World Health Organization guidelines and DO NOT INCLUDE non-pneumonia coronavirus fatalities in their death counts. If the US followed the same system as much of the world the total number of coronavirus deaths in the US would be 86,000 or something you'd see in a bad flu season. In 2017-2018 the US had an intense flu season. 61,000 Americans died.

The 49-year-old billionaire dropped the bombshell during a Monday appearance on the New York Times opinion podcast "Sway." ...During the exchange, the Tesla CEO decried the nationwide lockdown as a "no-win situation" that has "diminished my faith in humanity." Musk previously called widespread quarantines "unethical" and "de facto house arrest," RT reports. ..."Gates said something about me not knowing what I was doing," Musk told host Kara Swisher. "It's like, 'Hey, knucklehead, we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, that company you're invested in.'" He was referring to the fact that Tesla manufactures equipment for the German biopharmaceutical firm CureVac.

Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize by Australian Law Professors for Doctrine Against Endless Wars | 29 Sept 2020 | On Monday President Donald Trump was nominated for the third time this year for a 2021 Noble Peace Prize. The nomination came courtesy of Australian law professors praising the "Trump Doctrine" against endless wars. While speaking with Sky News in Australia, law professor David Flint explained why he decided to nominate Trump. "The Trump Doctrine is something extraordinary, as so many things that Donald Trump does. He is guided by two things, which seem to be absent from so many politicians. He has firstly common sense and he is only guided by a national interest, and therefore, in our circumstances, an interest in the Western alliance," Flint said. "What he has done with the Trump Doctrine is that he has decided that he would no longer have America involved in endless wars, wars which achieve nothing, but the killing of thousands of young Americans and enormous debts imposed on America." During his interview with Sky News, Flint also spoke about the recent peace deal announced by Trump between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), making the latter the third Arab country to make peace with the Jewish nation.

Ratcliffe's letter doesn't offer specifics on the intelligence but does reveal that former CIA Director John Brennan's handwritten notes show that he briefed Obama on the information. According to his letter, the intelligence included the "alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016, of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services."

Ted Kennedy's communication office, and prior to that worked as in intern in the office of then-senator Joe Biden. The second presidential debate is scheduled for October 15... Scully is generally well-regarded in Washington and in the media, but out here where I am in flyover country, he may at least be seen as too chummy with Democrats to serve as an honest broker for the second presidential debate. Tweets like this one from 2016, and currently making the retweet rounds, don't help.

New Yorkers report receiving ballots with wrong name, voter addresses | 28 Sept 2020 | Voters in New York City said they received their mail-in ballots this week but were surprised to find they were printed with the wrong names and voter IDs and included incorrect return labels. Some voters said they received absentee ballots mislabeled as the official ballot for military members, while others said the envelope meant to return their ballot did not bear their name or address. According to the New York Post, the ballots labeled as military ballots were misprinted in Queens and experts say it will not change how those votes are tallied.

Minneapolis police investigating alleged ballot harvesting scheme by Omar associates | 28 Sept 2020 | The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating claims by conseervative activist group Project Veritas that individuals tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., engaged in illegal ballot harvesting before the election. "We are in the process of looking into the validity of those statements," a department statement read on Monday... Project Veritas's latest video lit up social media as it came just weeks before a presidential election that is expected to see a surge in absentee or mail-in voting. In Minnesota, the issue has come under judicial scrutiny as Republicans and Democrats battled over a measure that would limit the number of ballots a third party could hold for others. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the state's Supreme Court recently allowed voting to proceed without a three-person limit on the number of ballots any one individual can collect. President Trump has already called on the Justice Department to investigate the claims, which include allegations of a cash-for-ballot scheme.

I'll happily provide video commentary," tweeted Costolo. Mike Cernovich pointed out that Costolo was in violation of Twitter's own rules regarding the glorification of violence.

Joe Biden won't be doing this." ...A White House official said Thursday evening that the spending would be offset by a program to lower drug prices by tying them to lower prices in other countries, a plan called "most-favored nation." But that plan, while it has been proposed, has not gone into effect yet, meaning that there currently are no savings from it. The Wall Street Journal then reported on Friday that the money would be coming from the Medicare Trust Fund, which appears to be a more realistic source of funds.
