CtH: This is stuff I had ready to post before I got sick. It’s not too dated.

CNN: Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon are just two of the talking heads at one of the “reliable” networks that yammered Russia! Russia! Russia! for YEARS before multi-million dollar investigations proved it was a Democrat hoax.

Both are now facing allegations of sexual abuse. Predictably, they took their righteous indignation to the air to whine that the right wing media has no journalistic ethics and that social media platforms are dominated by righties.

Lemon said, “You shouldn’t just be able to spread things about people that’s not true. It has a big influence on someone’s livelihood, their credibility, their career, even their lives. I don’t think I should be able to go on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram and say whatever I want about Chris Cuomo whether it’s true or not.

In January 2017, CNN was court-ordered to pay a massive libel settlement Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann for trashing his reputation.

NBA: YouTube video is about Bradley Beal’s explanation. The talking heads push the totally absurd “official” line that breakthrough cases are the fault of the unvaccinated. “He’s a very smart guy” but “We need to get a doctor over there stat to educate him.” [4:15] – CLICK https://rumble.com/vn322l-media-bait-nba-star-on-vaccine-his-answer-makes-room-go-silent.html [1:56] to hear star Jonathan Isaac give a calm and reasoned response to why he won’t get the jab and objects to mandates.

NEW YORK: Gov. Hochul has close ties to Big Pharma. [5:34] – Workers from a healthcare facility, nursing home, or school who voluntarily quit or are terminated for refusing an employer-mandated vaccination will be ineligible for Unemployment Insurance, unless they submitted a valid request for an accommodation.

Anybody else see a second tier economy emerging where the unvaxxed serve the unvaxxed?

OXFORD: One of Oxford University’s constituent colleges, Worcester College, made the appalling decision to allow an Evangelical campaign group, Christian Concern, to book its facilities for a residential event during the summer break.

Word got out, even to those who weren’t even there when the event occurred. They raised an uproar and the college rolled over, issuing a statement of deep regret at allowing the college’s hallowed meeting rooms and corridors to be used by people that aren’t woke.

TRANS: At this week’s meeting of a Virginia school board, Matt Walsh used his “generous” sixty second comment time to torch what he calls their abusive trans policies. CLICK https://rumble.com/vn3u91-matt-walsh-torches-virginia-school-board.html [1:00].

UNITED AIRLINES: The airline has announced that the COVID jab will be a condition of employment from now on and that 593 of its current employees are being fired for refusing.

The status of the less than 3% who have applied for religious and medical exemptions remains on hold, pending the outcome of a lawsuit. The company planned to “accommodate” with unpaid personal leave, by which they would forfeit their benefits, including medical coverage.

VATICAN: There have been zero deaths from the WuFlu since the pandemic began and the last reported COVID-19 case on Vatican soil was nearly a year ago. So naturally, they’re imposing even stricter regulations on employees.

As of Oct 1, 2021, entry into the Vatican is permitted exclusively to persons holding the ‘Vatican Green Pass’, ‘European Green Pass,’ or foreign green COVID 19 certification proving vaccination, recovery, or negative rapid molecular or antigenic test.

Any employee who has to have a test done must pay for it. Any employee who doesn’t meet the regs will not be admitted or paid.

VICIOUS: Under FAUXTUS’ vax mandate, businesses that fail to comply will be fined $14,000 by OSHA. The mandate affects employers collectively employing an estimated 80 million workers and does NOT include proof of recovery and natural immunity.

But tucked into their $3.5 trillion porkulus bill are megafines that could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions, and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations—almost three-quarters of a million dollars for each fine.

VIRGINIA: During Tuesday’s gubernatorial debate, Republican Glenn Youngkin’s asserted that parents should be more involved in what their local school is teaching their children. Democrat Terry McAuliffe disagreed. “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. I’m not going to let parents come into schools, and actually take books out, and make their own decision.” He said he welcomes local school district input, but supports the state being in charge via the Department of Education.

VAX”: The article explains what Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) is. If you’re following the discussion of why the jabs are dangerous, this is a must read.

I’m Back

Hey there, fellow gardeners. I’m so glad to see y’all! I’d say I missed you, but mostly I’ve been too sick to notice the days (three in hospital) passing.

The treatment is working well. I am hopeful to be back on top of my game before too long, though I think the IV bruising will take a while to fade. I had a lot of needles poking into me while I was there.

This is my second time sitting up; last night, I sat on the couch with Dearest watching Amazing Grace (2006) starring Ioan Gruffudd.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihdZ90KDQ4s – :44

So we’ll see how it goes. The good news is that I am no longer carrying a puke bowl with me everywhere I go! LOL

Facebook temporarily bans itself for violating its own misinformation policy

From The Genesius Times.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Hundreds of millions of people were unable to access Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp for more than six hours on Monday after the company temporarily banned itself for violating its own misinformation policy.

“We take fighting misinformation seriously and will ban all entities who violate our policy,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. “We got confused about our illogical and contradictory policies that we had to censor ourselves for a few hours until we cleared things up.”

Many Facebook users—including all the world’s sex traffickers—were unable do business for most of the day.

Is this unprecedented?

No, social media platforms consistently contradict their own terms of service, causing them to shut down or censor themselves. Recently, YouTube banned YouTube for showing videos of the CDC contradicting the CDC, which violated YouTube’s rules.

“Basically, they’re all a bunch of idiots wielding an unheard of amount of power and sometimes that catches up to them,” Genesius Time Technology Editor Richard Feynman said.

Turkish man reported missing joins search party seeking him

(This story came from ABC News, although no one would blame you for mistaking it for The Onion or the Babylon Bee.)

Media reports say a man in Turkey joined a search party for a missing person not realizing the individual being pursued was him

By The Associated Press

October 1, 2021, 9:35 AM

ANKARA, Turkey — In a scene worthy of a comedy sketch, a Turkish man joined a search party for a missing person not realizing the individual being pursued was him.

Beyhan Mutlu, 51, went drinking with a friend in a forest in the town of Inegol, northwest Turkey, late Tuesday. His wife reported him missing after he did not return home and she heard he had walked away from his friend, drunk.

Gendarmerie and rescue teams were called in to find Mutlu, who had gone to sleep in a house in the forest, Turkish online news site T24 reported Friday.

He came across members of the search party in the morning and decided to help them find the missing person. He realized he was the focus of the search when they began calling his name.

“After a while, they said they were looking for Beyhan Mutlu,” T24 quoted him as saying. “I broke into a cold sweat when I heard my name.”

“I told them I was Beyhan Mutlu, but they continued to search,” Mutlu continued. “They didn’t believe me. The truth came out when my friend Mesut saw me.”

Mutlu said he was part of the search team for more than half an hour.

ANIMAL AGRICULTURAL TAX: The article linked below downplays concern that FAUXTUS’ giant spending plan will tax cows, because the bill only specifies the gas and oil industry. But we’ve seen to our great detriment how Democrats put vague language into laws, then have unelected regulatory agencies flesh it out with suffocating rules to suit their anti-American agenda.

Personally, I have NO problem believing the vague methane tax language is intended to lead to a tax on animals. The same people pushing this climate crap believe human beings are a blight upon the Earth who should eat a purely vegan diet and carefully refrain from reproducing our kind.

1 Timothy 4:1-3 – Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

BORDER: A whistleblower has alleged the Biden administration ordered U.S. Border Patrol agents to get vaccinated by November or else face termination even as thousands of coronavirus-positive migrants stream across the porous Southern Border.

CATHOLIC: This is light-hearted and very interesting [7:02].

FREDO: Chris Cuomo has been accused of sexual harassment by former ABC executive producer Shelley Ross. Ross says that in 2005, “I was at the party with my husband, who sat behind me on an ottoman sipping his Diet Coke as I spoke with work friends. When Mr. Cuomo entered the Upper West Side bar, he walked toward me and greeted me with a strong bear hug while lowering one hand to firmly grab and squeeze the cheek of my buttock. ’I can do this now that you’re no longer my boss,’ he said to me with a kind of cocky arrogance. ’No you can’t,’ I said, pushing him off me at the chest while stepping back, revealing my husband, who had seen the entire episode at close range. We quickly left.”

GOVERNMENT OVERREACH: [3:29] – The robot hornets sound creepily like the locusts in Revelation 9.

GREEN: After going green and shutting down its coal, fossil fuel, fracking, and nuclear energy production, and feeling mighty virtuous for doing it, Europe is now going cold — freezing cold. The region faces a bad winter ahead with energy shortages across the board. Seems green energy can do everything to make a lefty European feel good except produce the actual energy.

LIFE: It kinda sounds like women who, in faith, accept whatever challenges a pregnancy presents are not just choosing life for their children, but eternal life for themselves.

NEW YORK: As of Wednesday, 84% of healthcare workers in New York had been “fully vaccinated.” But thousands have lost their jobs or been suspended for refusing the COVID jab.

In response to staff shortages, our acting governor, the unelected Kathy Hochul (D) who replaced the corrupt Andrew Cuomo, declared a state of emergency that eliminates a whole slew of health regulations for the duration of the emergency. She has also said she would consider ordering the National Guard to fill in.

She stated, without reference to any real science, “The only way we can move past this pandemic is to ensure that everyone eligible is vaccinated.”

Michael Brendan Dougherty, a senior writer at National Review Online, wrote this: “While at a church in Brooklyn, [Gov. Hochul] said, ‘Yes, I know you’re vaccinated. You’re the smart ones, but you know, there are people out there who aren’t listening to God and what God wants. You know this. You know who they are. I need you to be my apostles.’

“She held up her necklace, which adverts her status as a person vaccinated against COVID-19. Because normal people routinely commemorate their immunizations with gold jewelry. Later she explained that the National Guard would take the place of the unvaccinated nurses who would be fired in a few hours.

You know, normal stuff for Earthlings. I’ve discharged your health-care workers and replaced them with the military.

“If a red-stater such as Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, or Bill Lee had asked worshippers to be their apostles, and to make their neighbors listen to God, there wouldn’t be enough helicopters east of the Mississippi to carry in the lawyers from the ACLU, or the hysterical reporters from the Atlantic to talk about the dawn of theocratic fascism.”

PORTS: On Saturday, nearly two dozen cargo ships and oil tankers were waiting to berth off the south shore of Long Island on Saturday. The problem seems to be a combination of a surge of imports and a shortage of workers.

SALMONELLA: A nationwide salmonella outbreak from a still unknown source has spread to 29 states. Symptoms of salmonella can take up to a week to develop, making identifying the source problematic. In addition, an unknown number of people may have recovered without being tested.

Salmonella symptoms include vomiting, dehydration, dizziness, diarrhea, and a fever. There have been no deaths to date, but more than two dozen of the 279 victims have gotten sick enough to need hospitalization.

According to the CDC, salmonella causes about 1.35 million infections annually in the United States with 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths.

SPENDING PLAN: Fox News update [5:28] – FAUXTUS say, “My Build Back Better costs zero dollars,” ignoringthe $2 Trillion in tax increases and the more than $4 Trillion it will actually would cost, which is probably why, when asked about it, Pelosi said, “Let’s not talk about numbers.”

On Monday, WH Spox Psaki claimed that 80% of Americans support President Joe Biden’s spending agenda. But a new national survey by Rasmussen shows only 36% support among voters.

BELGIUM: This small European nation has very liberal abortion and euthanasia laws. In previous posts, I’ve noted how the numbers of the “we can’t be bothered with you” dead have increased each year. Now we learn that they’re routinely offing newborn babies that the parents and doctors don’t want. E.g., in Flanders between September 2016 and December 2017, twenty-four neonates (10% of the total) were murdered.

BORDER: From Facebook in response to the lies and misrepresentation in media – “Definitely the best job I ever had, you become one with your horse. They learn to trust you. They will go to the end of the earth, if you ask them. We train everyday with them. Definitely the best partner I have ever had. See what’s in my hands? Those are split reins; not whips, they are 6 feet long. They are split for when we go into the brush. If we go through thick brush and a tree branch gets caught, it will just slip right through. The reins are connected to the bit. The bit is in their mouth and the last thing we want to do is hurt our partners by tearing up their mouths.

You have seen the video of the agent spinning the rein when noncitizens get close to the horse. It’s to create distance between the horse and the person on the ground. Our horses easily weigh 1200 pounds, they can step on someone and break a bone or kill a small child of a person gets to close. We also spin them if someone attempts to grab the reins because the last thing you want is someone who doesn’t know a thing about horses, to have control of the horse you are on. (If noncitizens attempt to gain control of our reins it is considered deadly.) The horse can freak out, jump up and roll with you on them. Us as riders can be killed if a horse lands on us. Hope this helps those who have never seen a horse or split reins before… we will continue to support our brothers and sisters in Del Río.

FAUXTUS: Rasmussen’s Daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows Biden reaching new lows. His Job Approval is down to 40% vs. Disapproval at 58%, giving him an Approval Index* of -18.

The passionate numbers have a -29 index (21% Strongly Approve vs. 50% Strongly Disapprove). The latter number is what we see in abortion polls supporting the extreme “up to natural birth for any reason.”

I believe this number represents the hard-core, far left Progs who hate God, hate America, hate freedom, think AOC is brilliant, etc. They strongly approve of Biden now, but if it suits the PTBs to trash him, they’ll turn on him like starving wolves.

*Approval Index = Subtract the Disapprovals from the Approvals

GOD’S CREATION: In July, a deep-sea research crew completed a 34-day voyage through the remote Phoenix Islands Archipelago.

Please use this form to document any issues in your classroom related to these new quarantine guidelines, including situations where students are seated with less than three feet of distance. You may submit photos and/or describe interactions with the DOE’s [Department of Education’s] test and trace investigators.”

NOKO: NoKo is determined to remove all traces of Christianity by exterminating Christian adherents and institutions. A recent report says the North Korea’s secret police are incentivized with promotions when they apprehend Christians and other believers. Christians they catch face execution or spending the rest of their lives in political prison camps.

The schools teach young children that Christians suck the blood of children. The schools go on field trips to state-run exhibition halls where religious adherents are presented as murderers, spies, and where Bibles are displayed as trophies taken from enemies of the state.

PROJECT VERITAS: [9:58] – Undercover video of two Johnson & Johnson employees saying kids don’t need the COVID jabs. But one of them thinks it’s a good idea to punish people who don’t want it, fire them, don’t let them travel, make them into second class citizens. The other one says it’s wrong to give it to kids because we don’t know what it’ll do for them down the road. They both suggest that J&J employees didn’t trust the J&J product.
