Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/12/2020

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot issued an advisory asking all citizens to stay home for Thanksgiving, due to COVID-19. Meanwhile, according to a new Gallup poll, fewer than half of Americans would be willing to stay home if another quarantine were announced.

In other news, the number of patients in the UK who have waited more than a year for treatment that is not related to the Wuhan Coronavirus is the greatest since 2008. There’s no word on how many of those patients died before they could be treated.

Biden’s Transition Team is Filled With Big Tech Employees

Big Tech and its super influential social media platforms had a rough four years after Donald Trump became president, finding themselves constantly under fire from corporate media and politicians and even employees, basically for “not having done enough” to stop that from happening.

The only real way to do that would have been to silence or remove Trump and his supporters from the networks, and in order to get back in the good graces of power centers, these corporations after 2016 started to introduce previously unseen levels of censorship and deplatforming. Now it would appear that they will now be rewarded for that, as Joe Biden prepares to take over.

Of course, Biden’s transition team includes dozens of Big Tech figures, current and former.

Connecticut Cop Suspended for Anti-Black Lives Matter Facebook Post

Sgt. Jamie Rivera, a cop from Stratford, Connecticut, had been disciplined by the town’s mayor after he called the Black Lives Matter organization a terrorist organization on Facebook. He was suspended for three days without pay and was also ordered to attend “implicit bias training.” The police union, however, has appealed the decision and filed a grievance claim.

The disciplinary action against Sgt. Riviera was announced during the Town Council meeting on Monday, and no one opposed the decision at the time of its declaration in the meeting.

COVID Vaccine Revelation Sinks Like a Stone; Disappears

A few weeks ago, I ran a one-off. The analysis and commentary were mine, but the story was an opinion piece in the New York Times. The Times called it an opinion piece to soften its blow. I suspected it would disappear, and it did.

Its meaning and implication were too strong. It would be a vast embarrassment for the White House, the Warp Speed COVID vaccine program, the vaccine manufacturers, the coronavirus task force, and vaccine researchers.

And embarrassment would be just the beginning of their problem.

So…here it is again. The vanished one-off, back in business:

COVID vaccine clinical trials doomed to fail; fatal design flaw; NY Times opinion piece exposes all three major clinical trials.

Everything You Don’t Want to Know About COVID Vaccines (Because You Can’t be Bullish Anymore)

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog

In such a highly polarized, politicized environment, is such a scrupulously objective study even possible?

Now that we’ve had the happy-talk about Pfizer’s messenger-RNA (mRNA) vaccine (and noted that Pfizer’s CEO sold the majority of his shares in the company immediately after the happy-talk), let’s dig into messenger-RNA (mRNA) vaccines which are fast approaching regulatory approval.

Some people have concluded vaccines are not safe, regardless of their source or mechanisms. These people will never take any Covid vaccine.

Others will also decline a vaccine because they’ve concluded Covid is overblown.

Fair enough. But many other people conclude Covid is dangerous, partly because so little is known about its long-term effects (Long-Covid, Long-Haulers). Covid’s low mortality rate may be distracting us from its other more insidious consequences.

Authorities desperate to restart the economy and reassure the populace are poised to approve novel vaccines using a new mechanism to generate an immune response: messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines.

I am not a scientist or clinician but I have followed scientific developments closely for the past 40 years and so I have a basic understanding of this new pathway.

I’m posting links below to articles that describe the mRNA vaccines in greater detail. All these sources are respected journals or media outlets.

Giuliani: 650,000 Votes Were Counted Unlawfully in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh

Speaking with Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs, Giuliani claimed that “almost none” of the hundreds of thousands of ballots were observed by Republican poll watchers. State election law requires the presence of poll watchers from all parties.

How Would You Prefer to Spend Your Last Holiday Season?

COVID-19 has a survival rate of 99.99% for those under the age of 40. Even people over the age of 60 who aren’t residents of nursing homes have a survival rate of 98.29%, yet residents in many areas are now told, in great detail, how they can and cannot celebrate their holidays.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, loneliness had reached epidemic levels. In 2018, 54% of American adults over the age of 18 reported feeling lonely. By January 2020, it was 61% and now, nine months into the pandemic, we’ve reached 66%.

Loneliness isn’t relegated to the elderly. In the 18 to 34 age group, 75% report feeling socially isolated, compared to 61% of those over 50. Among those aged 18 to 34, 19% say they’ve gone as long as two to three months without interacting with another person.

NASA Says Galaxy Could Have at Least 300 Million Habitable Planets

Following a nine-year mission that ended in 2018 when it ran out of fuel, NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope identified approximately 300 million planets that could be habitable within the Milky Way.

This journey to discover as many exoplanets (planets that orbit stars outside the solar system) took place from 2009 to 2018. In addition to that criteria, the Telescope was looking for exoplanets that orbit their stars at roughly the same distance that Earth moves around the sun.

An updated analysis, which was first printed in the Astronomical Journal, attempted to put into perspective how many of these places could sustain life. Putting forth what was deemed a “conservative” estimate, researchers think at least half of the sun-like stars could have planets with water. Another estimate, this one deemed more optimistic, said that as many as 75 percent of planets could meet the same standard.

As we’ve seen far too often already, she was allegedly taking advantage of the diminished mental capacity of her patients to register them to vote and request ballots on their behalf. Many of the patients in question had previously been declared totally mentally incapacitated by a court. (CBS Dallas-Ft. Worth)

The Democrats’ Predictable Voter Fraud Defense Playbook

What can we expect in the next few weeks? Democrats have repeatedly used the same playbook for creating their narrative around every issue during President Trump’s first term. It involves never-ending protests of outrage as they backpedal through an issue, like a liar who repeatedly changes his story as he finds out what the other person already knows. These are the steps we should expect from the left as evidence is revealed in court documents over the next few weeks.

The first protest from the left is complete dismissal. “That’s crazy! Trump is a lunatic for suggesting such a thing!” We saw this immediately after the 2016 election when Trump revealed the Obama administration spied on his campaign. The howls of mocking laughter and media condemnation were the basis for calls from the left to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment because Donald Trump was detached from reality for even making such a suggestion. Liberals began their attacks on the president’s coronavirus response in the same way when he announced restrictions on travel from China. Democrats and media accused President Trump of racism, paranoia and unjustifiably stoking panic over something that was not a problem. Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Bill DeBlasio made a spectacle of going to Chinatown, encouraging people to go to large gatherings and dismissing President Trump as crazy for suggesting COVID was a problem anyone should worry about. Now, as the president has protested voting irregularities, liberals’ first response was to dismiss and ridicule such claims as the rantings of a madman.

The next argument claims a lack of proof. “There is no evidence that anything like this happened!” This is the stage where liberals pack cable news panels with so-called experts who all agree that, while plausible, there is no evidence to back up the president’s allegations; therefore he is wrong. This “consensus” argument is increasingly used by the left as a standalone position on any issue. Basically, If everyone on a CNN panel agrees with Democrats, then that proves their position to be fact.

What We Have Learned So Far From Reading the Dominion Voting System Manual

1. Votes can theoretically be ignored for individuals if a straight ticket vote is selected. This setting could very welI enable “Repubiican”-style typo fraud. Many complex rules decide how the “straight ticket” option works.

2. Network Security is very weak since all software access keys use the same cryptographic pair. This gives plausible deniability to whoever potentially decides to mess around with voting settings. It cant be proven who changed a setting since everybody has the same key

3. Digital certificates are not protected by password, and Dominion user manual explicitly says not to enter a password. This enables potential for bad actors to MITM attack data traveling over network between precinct tabulator and central tabulator.

“Allah has promised us paradise and he has promised you hell.” This is one of the threats made by the terrorists who attacked in Catalonia in August 2017 while they were preparing explosives, in a video broadcast this Tuesday during the first session of the trial before the National High Court.

Police visited Khairi Saadallah the day before he committed a stabbing attack which authorities labelled as terror, killing three and seriously injuring three others.

Saadallah admitted to three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder on Wednesday but denied it was terrorism. The prosecution maintains the attack was ideologically inspired, with witnesses claiming the defendant had shouted “Allahu Akbar!” and “victory on infidels” after the attack. Counter-terror police had labelled it a “terrorist incident” hours after the murders on June 20th.

WHO Complains of “Cyberattack” Backlash After Censoring Talk of Taiwan

The World Health Organization has said that it has faced an “onslaught” of “cyberattacks” with several keywords mentioning “Taiwan.”

“During the World Health Assembly, WHO faces an onslaught of cyberattacks by online activists on a number of controversial issues, using keywords such as Taiwan and China,” said WHO.

It’s worth pointing out that since many people all over the word heard about WHO’s censorship, they tried to test the WHO’s platforms to see if they could post the term “Taiwan,” and this surge of testing could be what the WHO is calling a “cyberattack.”

Czechia: African Migrant Sentenced for Raping Minor Files Appeal

Last year’s case involving the rape of a 16-year-old girl in the Litomerice Region of northwest Czechia is not over. Abdallah Ibrahim Diallo, an African migrant, was sentenced to four years in prison for his crime, but the iDNES.cz news portal found out that he has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court.

The information from the publicly accessible judicial database was confirmed to iDNES.cz by an employee of the District Court in Litomerice who dealt with the case in a court of first instance. “The appeal was filed by the defense,” said Barbora Hrbkova.

According to the indictment, Diallo raped the girl last June in a field near Lukavec after he arrived in the Czech Republic by train from Germany. There, he had previously been released from Dresden Prison, where he had been incarcerated for unpaid fines. In another neighboring country, he allegedly used public transport illegally and threatened a social worker.

France: Moroccan Migrant With 19 Convictions Banned From Paris Neighborhood for Repeated Violence Against Women

A Moroccan migrant living in Paris with a history of violence against women has been sentenced to prison and was banned from the department of Charente-Maritime after he was convicted of physically abusing his ex-partner.

The District Court of La Rochelle late last month sentenced the perpetrator, Hamza, who has nineteen prior criminal convictions —including two prior domestic violence convictions — to ten months in prison, four of which will be a suspended sentence. He is also banned from entering the department of Charente-Maritime for two years, French news outlet Actu La Rochelle reports.

The perpetrator’s convictions and prison sentence comes as a result of physical and sexual violence he inflicted on a woman named Marie between September and October in the commune of Périgny.

Mass Immigration Into America: The Coming Impact of Biden’s Open Borders, Part 1

Joe Biden promised amnesty for 25 million illegal aliens. He promised to tear down 400 miles of the Wall separating Mexico with America. He promised amnesty for 800,000 plus DACA illegal aliens. He promised thousands more work visas into the USA, which adds endless population surges. He promises to open the borders again to immigration from Muslim countries.

His promises will flood America with millions more desperate people from all over the world.

This interview with energy and resources specialist Dell Erickson of Minneapolis, Minnesota presents a harsh picture of America’s future that Biden expects to bequeath to Americans and our children.

The sheer numbers will shock you and the consequences will make you shrink as to the future for your children.

Mr. Erickson, please give us an idea of what our country faces as Joe Biden opens the borders to unlimited immigration:

“Immigration in the U.S. is more about the nature of this country and the Powers transforming it,” Erickson said. “It’s all about numbers.”…

What’s going to happen? As Black, White and Hispanic Americans dwindle, we will see this country become dominated by Kenya, Ethiopia, Damascus, India, China, Pakistan and most other third world countries that flood their citizens into America.

Is that what you want for your children? Because if you do, it’s coming. If you don’t, what are you doing as a citizen to stop it?

“America’s immigration policies have launched us into a risky experiment never tried by a modern-day country,” said Dan Stein, director of the Federation of American Immigration Reform, based in Washington, DC. “What remains to be seen is if this country has the capacity to accommodate and assimilate an unending wave of mass immigration. Failure to do so will result in a balkanized, fragmented, strife-torn, overpopulated, and dysfunctional country.”

UK: Borders Inspector: Govt Failing on Channel Crisis Since 2018, Lacks Ability to Tackle Crossings

Britain’s Chief Inspector of Borders has issued a report slamming the government’s failure to get a grip on the Channel migrant crisis, determining that the Home Office failed to take “decisive action” to nip the problem in the bud in 2018 and still have “neither the capacity nor the capabilities” to tackle the problem.

“Had more decisive action been taken earlier to demonstrate that these attempts would not succeed, the small boats route may not have become established in the minds of many migrants and facilitators as an effective method of illegal entry,” wrote David Bolt, the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, in his official report.

Joe Biden Officiates Same Sex “Marriage” In White House

WASHINGTON, D.C. Just when one thinks things cannot get worse, they do! While Joe Biden was Vice President to faux president Barack Obama, the White House had an open door policy for all LGBT participants. They once lighted the outside of The White House to display, in colored lights, the flag of these misfits. However, that is not the worst. The constant flow of sexually confused people came in and out of the White House by invitation.

A Sodomite “marriage” was performed in that vicinity when Biden presided over the “union” of Joe Mahshie and Brian Mosteller, both who worked as White House aides. Indeed, one would see very obvious displays of homosexual behavior simply by walking through the halls of what should be considered as sacred space in the Nation’s Capitol, especially in the West Wing where his office was located. They were all over the place.

Indeed, the West Wing became the new official LGBT hangout like the Men’s Room in New York’s Lincoln Center.

In order to do this so called “wedding”, Biden obtained special certification from the District of Columbia so he could publicly demonstrate his support for LGBT habits and conduct.

This “wedding ceremony,” took place at the Naval Observatory, the vice president’s official residence (yes his home) with family members present. The Catholic News Services exploded since Biden pretends to be a Catholic, and journalists were asking why the bishops would not discipline him, or better yet, excommunicate him. Biden also supported and still supports the “right” to an abortion, basically thumbing his nose at the teachings of the church. Yet he boasts his Catholic faith still to this day.

One journalist wrote: “If you are advocating abortion or presiding at a same-sex “wedding,” then your behavior places you outside the bounds of the Christina faith and should be treated accordingly-for you own good, for the reputation of the church, and the reputation of Christ in Word and deed. Catholics, like ‘Biden, demean the teachings of the church.

It is puzzling that the church has remained silent with no action against one who mocks the Catholic Church and God. This fuels the emotions of those who see no results of one becoming a Christian, so why bother? Why go to church?

And Joe Biden is the misfit who demands to become The President of The United States. There is no way that a fairly conscious voter would put him in the Oval Office. Amongst the peculiarities of Biden is the love of sniffing the hair of women, including those he had just met. We’ve seen a video showing him meet a woman, make his way behind her where he lifts up her hair and…sniffs it. This is psychotic. Possibly a fetish.

And he has handlers who insist that he become our president? Well, a misfit can easily be manipulated to do whatever they decide he should do. Many of those handlers know that by getting him into the Oval Office will give them control of the entire country. And THIS is why there is so much ELECTION FRAUD taking place to make sure their puppet gets in to give them the power to rule.

The Communist media denies that there has been any ‘election fraud.’ I beg your pardon? Take a look at the stats gathered and listed below:
