(Natural News) The percentage of Americans who plan to get the new covid-19 vaccine continues to fall. Yahoo News and YouGov polled Americans in early May and only 55 percent said they would get the new vaccines. The number shrank to 50 percent later that month and fell to 46 percent in early July. By the end of July, the number had fallen to a mere 42 percent. In order to manipulate Americans to take upcoming rushed covid-19 shots, the federal government got together with Yale researchers to conduct clinical trials to learn how best to manipulate the public.

During an interview with the “Fox News Rundown” podcast released on Wednesday, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) criticized the HEROES Act, the $3 trillion coronavirus legislation passed by House Democrats back in May, by stating that he doesn’t “support that amount that they’re putting towards different areas,” and arguing that while there are needs, “you can’t cure all of the social needs within a pandemic bill or a health crisis bill.” Manchin said, “I think, if you look at the Democrats right now, from the House side, they’ve said, we’ve passed a bill. So, we’ve done our job. And it’s a very […]
Submitted by Michael Lebowitz and Jack Scott of Real Investment Advice The Difference Between Good Economics and Bad “Real protection means teaching children to manage risks on their own, not shielding them from every hazard.” ― Wendy Mogel, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee In the five weeks from February 19 to March 26, 2020, the S&P 500 fell 33.9%.

WEST LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Homelessness is a big problem for U.S. veterans; and so is getting those vets the help they need. ABC-7 salutes an effort to provide temporary housing during the covid-19 pandemic. “They work together as a team. They have a mission to keep working together to help each other get out here,’ said Veteran advocate Bob Rosebrock. “There are so many ways we can help resolve this.” In limbo, the veterans camping outside the West VA Medical Center campus face obstacles of all kinds, as they wait on one list or another, to enter even keeping a […]
Critics of President Donald Trump are again convinced the ‘walls are closing in’ on the US commander-in-chief, excited by reports that his bank complied with a subpoena from New York prosecutors as part of a broad criminal probe. The New York Times reported on Wednesday that prosecutors looking into Trump’s tax records had subpoenaed his decades-long lender, Deutsche Bank, sometime last year, suggesting the document request was part of an investigation larger in scope than was previously known. The bank reportedly complied with the subpoena, handing over “detailed records, including financial statements and other materials that Mr. Trump had provided to […]
In July, the UK had a change of heart regarding the Huawei issue, following months of talks with Washington, announcing the Chinese telecom company’s equipment would ultimately be a no go in the domestic market. President Donald Trump boasted in an interview with Fox News about having had a “tough talk” with his British colleague, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, over the Huawei matter. He told the head of the British government that he could “forget about Scotland Yard” if his country went ahead with its 5G deal with the Chinese telecom titan, “because we can’t do business with you”, Trump outlined […]
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro approvingly cited a pro-Trump cartoonist on Wednesday night to make his case that the White House’s public health experts are wrong on controversial anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine.

Wednesday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” anchor Chris Cuomo said President Donald Trump’s claim that children are “almost immune” to coronavirus are false and “violating” American children.

Businesses located in cities where officials are working to defund or dismantle their police departments will not be receiving shipments from one Illinois-based trucking company.

(Natural News) Business has never been better for the vaccine industry, which is raking in billions of dollars from the federal government to produce new vaccines for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). And footing the bill, as usual, is the American taxpayer. President Donald Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” (OWS) initiative, which promises to unveil fast-tracked Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19 vaccines at warp speed, is doling out taxpayer cash at an unprecedented rate and volume, enriching Big Pharma while further impoverishing the American people. Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) have both scored a $2.1 billion federal contract to produce 100 million doses of their vaccines, […]

While it is likely that NBA superstar LeBron James meant to say “we couldn’t care less” about President Trump saying he refuses to watch the NBA due to the league becoming a relentless social justice spectacle. Nonetheless, James made it clear that the president’s attention to the games is not a concern for him. In a Wednesday appearance on Fox & Friends, Trump voiced his displeasure with the league over their embrace of anthem protests and Black Lives Matter, and made it clear that their behavior was “unacceptable” to him. “I think it’s disgraceful,” Trump said. “We worked with the NBA, […]
By Kristoffer Mousten Hansen of Mises,org Historical events are complex phenomena, and monocausal explanations are therefore by definition wrong when explaining history. Many factors go into explaining why people and the world’s governments reacted as they did to the coronavirus. It is, however, my contention that examining the inflationary policies pursued by central banks and governments are fundamental to understanding how the current corona hysteria developed. Calling it hysteria may sound harsh. When the coronavirus first started to draw attention back in February, and when most Western countries instituted extremely restrictive measures in March, one could make a plausible argument that […]
In the last year we have covered a number of incidents where nuclear weapons have been used; from exposing the truth about the nuclear nature of the destruction of the WTC on 9-11 to being the only media outlet to cover the nuclear explosions in China. In the minds of most people, a nuclear weapon is a large device carried on the tip of an ICBM or carried in the belly of a huge bomber aircraft that when deployed produces a colossal explosion and spectacular mushroom cloud just like all those terrifying 1950s newsreels . The megatonne class bombs have never […]
LA Mayor Eric Garcetti has warned that residents hosting large home gatherings can expect their water and power utilities to be cut, a sharp escalation of the city’s strict Covid-19 measures amid a series of recent house parties.

Driven by its purported objective to drill 26 wells in the Eastern Mediterranean, every one of Turkey’s wildcats in Cypriot waters has gauged Europe’s unity and shed light on its ill-preparedness to confront Turkish actions. Now Turkey has started to drill its initial objective along […]

Potent neutralizing antibodies target new regions of coronavirus spike NIH Research Matters Scientists are racing to develop approaches to protect against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Several vaccine candidates are now in clinical trials. Another possible approach involves antibodies, proteins made by the immune system to fight infection. Antibodies work to neutralize viruses by binding to their surface and blocking entry into a person’s cells. Antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV-2 could be produced […]
The Democrat Party continues to drift radically leftward, and its leadership will never rebuke militant elements like Antifa, because it’s controlled by billionaire leftist George Soros, former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich said. “All of these Democrats are now basically owned by the left,” Gingrich said Wednesday in an interview on Fox News. “They are not going to pick any fights. They are owned by people who are financed by George Soros.” Gingrich made his comments after Democrats in a US Senate hearing on Tuesday refused to directly criticize the conduct of Antifa, whose members have been accused of hijacking ongoing […]

The ceremony started in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and included a minute of silence at 8:15 am (23:15 on Wednesday GMT), the exact time of the nuclear explosion over the city on 6 August 1945. “We want the Japanese government to listen to the feelings of the bombing’s survivors and join the treaty”, […]
Facebook has tried its hardest to avoid taking action against posts from President Trump that broke its own rules. But on Wednesday, that long-running effort finally ran aground against a rambling diatribe from the president about children and the coronavirus. It’s a shift that could have an enormous impact on Trump’s re-election effort. While political spending is a small fraction of Facebook’s overall revenue, political ads make up a more significant chunk of campaign spending. Team Trump has made Facebook—with its uneven enforcement of its rules against disinformation—a cornerstone of its campaign, spending more than $35 million in ads on the […]

Anil Lulla is the co-founder and COO of Delphi Digital, a research firm dedicated to advancing the development of the crypto market. In the past few months at least four crypto hedge funds have shuttered. Yet, there’s never been a better time for institutions to get involved in this sector. Despite an unprecedented global pandemic wreaking havoc on just about every major economy on the planet, investors have made quite a lot of money in recent months in both traditional and crypto markets. When it comes to the latter, this is just the beginning for those with the discipline to seek […]
Update: The Washington Post corrected its report on Trump’s tweet. Trump’s campaign was banned from tweeting, not the President’s official Twitter account. Twitter on Wednesday banned President Trump’s campaign from tweeting until they delete a tweet about the Coronavirus that the tech company says violates its “rules against misinformation.” This is happening in an election year during a pandemic. Where is the DOJ? Where are the Republican lawmakers? The Washington Post corrected its report that Twitter banned President Trump over his tweet of a video clip of a Fox News interview in which he said children are “almost immune” from Covid-19. […]
Egypt has exported large quantities of pearls and precious stones to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) since the beginning of 2020, the Egyptian government revealed in a statement according to RT News. The statement noted that pearls topped the list of Egyptian exports to the UAE in 2020, resulting in over $203 million in pearl sales in January and over $192 million in February. Official figures issued by the state-run Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS) put the total for Egyptian exports of pearls and precious stones in five months at $974.342 million. Egypt’s pearl exports reached $149.627 million […]
The grumbling coming from his own party is a rare occurrence for McConnell, who always seems so sure-handed in managing his conference. And the delay also opened McConnell to attacks from Schumer, his Democratic counterpart, who is accusing Senate Republicans of failing to take the crisis seriously enough. But the Kentucky Republican — who has served as the GOP leader for almost 14 years without a challenge — has been candid for weeks about the Republican split over whether passage of another relief bill is even possible. Pelosi and Schumer have hammered McConnell for not being in the room during the […]
A senior Egyptian official refuted the claim by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk that aliens built the Great Pyramids of Giza, Fox reported on Monday, and invited him to visit the country. “Aliens built the pyramids obv [obviously],” Musk wrote on Twitter last week to his 37.5 million followers. The post attracted over 550,000 likes. It is still unclear if Musk was joking. The belief that extraterrestrial life was involved in the building of ancient historical wonders forms the backbone of what has come to be known as “ancient astronaut theory,” which posits that advanced alien lifeforms visited Earth thousands […]

(Natural News) Here it comes. Attack of the killer fake chickens. Will they escape from the laboratory and make it from “lab to table?” The answer is… yes. KFC has done it. They’ve created fake chicken in a test tube and coated it with their famous recipe, so you can’t even tell that what you’re eating has nothing to do with nature at all. Talk about Frankenstein, what will the ill health effects of these test tube 3D chicken mc-somethings be like? Unexplained diarrhea? Pinging headaches in the back of your eyes?

Seven US states have banded together to establish a coordinated COVID-19 testing strategy and purchase 3.5 million antigen tests, a move that highlights the US’ lack of a national testing plan, Dr. Jason Kindrachuk, an assistant professor of viral pathogenesis at the University of Manitoba, told Sputnik’s Loud & Clear Wednesday. ‘An Unbelievable Amount of Sense’ The governors of Virginia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio and Maryland have joined forces with the Rockefeller Foundation to expand the use of antigen tests in a bid to halt the spread of COVID-19.

The PA president also issued directions for the Palestinian ambassador to Beirut to help as much as possible. The cause of the explosion is still […]
Davis has taken greater care than many of his Republican counterparts to wear a mask and adhere to social distancing rules. That, he said in a statement, is because his wife is a nurse and a cancer survivor, “which puts her in an at-risk category like so many Americans.” Davis said his office has “always followed and will continue to follow CDC guidelines, use social distancing, and wear masks or face coverings when social distancing cannot be maintained.” Davis is postponing public events that were planned for the coming days until he receives a negative test. Last week, Davis spoke to […]
Joe Biden claimed Wednesday that, if elected president, he will boost funding for law enforcement in order for police departments to hire social workers — who he says will handle “god-awful” situations that officers cannot. “I don’t want to defund police,” Biden stated during a virtual fundraising event with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D), a potential vice-presidential pick, according to The Hill. “I want to get police more money in order to deal with the things they badly need, from making sure they have access to community policing, that they have also in the departments social workers, psychologists, people who in fact […]
Tuesday’s massive explosion in Beirut, Lebanon, has so far claimed the lives of 135 people and injured around 5,000. The cause of the explosion was 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate, sitting unsecured in a warehouse at the Port of Beirut. Beirut’s governor, Marwan Abboud, said damage from the blast is widespread and extends over half of the city, with the cost of the damage estimated to be more than $3 billion. For more color on the sheer destruction, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf cited Lebanese news agency National News Agency (NNA), which reports the blast also sunk a nearby cruise ship. The Orient Queen, owned by Abou Merhi Cruises, measures […]

A trio of 15-year-old boys scaled a wall outside of US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida carrying a loaded AK-47 in a backpack, in what police say was a desperate attempt to evade arrest. The three teens were taken into custody soon after they breached the walls around the resort on Friday, according to Palm Beach Police spokesman Michael Ogrodnick, who said the boys tried to dump a backpack containing a loaded semi-automatic Mini Draco AK-47 with a 14-round magazine. He added that the suspects likely did not know where they were at the time, however. “Honestly, I really […]

Greece recently welcomed back 12 stolen Greek Orthodox icons from the United Kingdom. The priceless religious art pieces were stolen in 2005 from the Monastery of the Dormition of the Visokos Virgin, which is located near the village of Kalouta in the Zagori municipality of Epirus. They were returned by the UK last month, the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports announced on Tuesday, reported the Greek City Times. According to the ministry’s announcement, the icons were returned through a collaborative effort by Greek and British officials, as well as some help from Athens’ embassy in London. A 19th-century icon showing […]
Has Donald Trump officially become a laughingstock? I guess it depends on which channel you watch. On Wednesday morning, Trump phoned in to “Fox & Friends,” where he talked ad nauseum, for over an hour, only occasionally stopping his ramblings to field “questions” about what a great job he’s doing and how lousy his enemies are. The phoner may have been intended as a chaser to wash away the bad taste from his much-mocked sit-down with Jonathan Swan where, to any reasonable observer, it became clear that the president can’t hit anything other than softballs. However, this conclusion will only be […]

A new report was released by Sky News on Turkey’s COVID-19 Coronavirus early hydroxychloroquine treatment strategy and the results are clear. The early treatment program in Turkey relies on hydroxychloroquine as the first step in the therapeutic process. Covexit.com reported: Sky News’ story about “Turkey’s COVID Detectives” by special correspondent Alex Crawford is remarkable. It not only covers the track and trace teams in action in Turkey, but also the therapeutic approach, which relies on hydroxychloroquine as a first step to treat symptomatic patients. The Turkish approach is at odds with most countries, such as the UK, where symptomatic patients are […]
Saudi Arabia has constructed a facility for extracting uranium “yellowcake” from ore with help from China, Western officials revealed to the Wall Street Journal yesterday. According to the officials, the facility is located in a sparsely populated area in the north-west of the Kingdom. The Saudi Energy Ministry said in a statement, however, that it “categorically denies” having built the facility in that area, although it acknowledged that it has contracts with China on uranium exploration within certain other areas of the country. “Yellowcake” is a powdered and milled form of uranium ore, an element occurring naturally throughout Saudi Arabia and […]
