The Biden administration on Friday announced a new $2.2 billion arms package for Ukraine that includes longer-range rockets, marking the latest US escalation, although they won’t be delivered until much later this year. | The Boeing-made Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB) can hit targets up to 94 miles away, nearly twice the range of the munitions Ukraine is currently using with the US-provided HIMARS rocket systems. 💬 “This gives them a longer-range capability — long-range fires capability that will enable them, again, to conduct operations in defense of their country and to take back their sovereign territory in Russian-occupied areas,” Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters. The announcement comes after a series of other US escalations, including pledges to provide M1 Abrams tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Each step brings the US and Russia closer to a direct conflict.

Reports have emerged suggesting that 3 of the 5 officers involved in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols are members of the Vice Lords street gang. | The Memphis Police Department has a long history of its cops being tied to violent street gangs, an issue that’s facing renewed scrutiny after the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, and after reports have trickled in saying that some of the cops involved are members of the Vice Lords. Three of the five Memphis police officers involved in the beating of Tyre Nichols, who later died at the hospital, could have ties to, or even be full-fledged members of, the Vice Lords street gang, and may have been carrying out a gang-ordered attack when they set upon Nichols.

Experts are raising the alarm over the soaring number of deaths caused by heart attacks and strokes among young people. | Excess deaths have skyrocketed in the past two years but many fear the issue is being ignored, or even covered up, by governments, Big Tech, and the corporate media. Early last year, a bombshell study compiled data from several life insurance companies. The researchers determined that there was an overwhelming spike in the death of young people. The data revealed an unexplained increase (40%) in “all-cause deaths” among 18 to 49-year-olds.

● China said Sunday after the United States a day earlier shot down its unmanned research ballon off the South Carolina coast that the Communist-run country is “reserving the right to take further actions in response.”
● China also called the balloon takedown an “overreaction” to the matter.
● The U.S. military on Saturday shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast after it took a path across the country that went over sensitive military sites across
● China has said the balloon flyover was an accident involving a civilian aircraft and repeated the claim Sunday saying it will “resolutely uphold the relevant company’s legitimate rights and interests, and at the same time.”
● President Biden ordered the Pentagon to take down the balloon Wednesday but waited until Saturday when it was over water and the crashing of the payload to the ground would not injure civilians.

A proposed bill in New England could see vulnerable convicts making decisions out of desperation | State legislatures around the United States are keenly watching the fate of a Massachusetts bill allowing prisoners to receive up to one year off their jail sentence by donating their organs. ● According to reports, Bill HD.3822, called the "Act to establish the Massachusetts incarcerated individual bone marrow and organ donation program," would allow participating prisoners to receive a minimum of 60 days and up to a whole year off their sentence. It would be set up in a special parole hearing based similarly on commuted sentences for “good behavior.” ● However, it would also encourage repeat donations, and since those incarcerated in the US are disproportionately minorities and low-income earners, it bears similarities to the country’s blood and plasma donation scheme. That system preys on low-income earners and students, encouraging them to consistently donate their blood at for-profit collection centers, effectively selling it in a sort of vampiric version of capitalism. In a 2019 piece titled ‘Harvesting the Blood of America’s Poor: The Latest Stage of Capitalism,’ Alan MacLeod observed that “around 130 million Americans admit an inability to pay for basic needs like food, housing or healthcare, buying and selling blood is one of the few booming industries America has left.”

Moscow could retaliate “in any way possible” should Kiev decide to attack Crimea, Dmitry Medvedev has said | Washington’s decision to supply Ukraine with longer-range missiles and allow Kiev to use them at will can only lead to further escalation, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday. He added that the US appears to not want the Ukraine conflict to end. In an interview with Russian journalist Nadana Fridrikhson, Medvedev denied that Ukrainian strikes against the Crimean peninsula would force Moscow to sit down at the negotiating table. “The result would be exactly the contrary. There would be no talks in such a case. There would only be retaliatory strikes,” he warned.

Mount Washington is the highest mountain in the northeastern US at 1,917 meters. The mountain is known for its dangerously variable weather and has long held the record for the 372 km/h wind speed measured on the ground. | The Mount Washington area recorded its worst frost since 1934 and the coldest winds ever recorded. Temperatures of -45°F (-43°C), with windchill temperatures of -106°F (-77°C). Wind gusts reached over 125 mph (200 km/h), reports Mount Washington observatory. The wind gusts and blizzard drove visibility down to just over 90 meters. The National Weather Service reports that previously such low temperatures had only been recorded in the region in 1934. The comparison with Mars is by no means accidental because this week, according to NASA, temperatures on the surface of the Red Planet ranged from the not so significant 16°F (-8.89°C) to the much more serious -104°F (-76.11°C). Thus, it can be stated that it was colder on Mount Washington than on Mars.

Thailand seeks billions in retribution from Pfizer for fraudulent covid injections | A Thai government spokesperson told Professor Sucharit Bhakdi this week that his country could soon become the first in the world to nullify and make void its contracts with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. According to Bhakdi, the spokesperson said, in reference to the company’s experimental covid “vaccines,” that “we will see to it that Thailand is the first country in the world to declare this contract (with Pfizer) null.” We are told that the Royal Family in Thailand was directly impacted by Pfizer’s covid injections, which reportedly harmed the king’s daughter, Princess Bajrakitiyabha. Because of this, Thai authorities are working towards ending the country’s relationship with Pfizer. ● Bhakdi says he met with top government advisors and explained to them how the entire premise behind the “vaccines” is built on a throne of lies. Pfizer fraud is the only thing backing the jabs as there is no safety data to show they work as claimed. Upon hearing this, Thai government advisors were shocked and assured Bhakdi that they are making preparations to sever Pfizer’s contracts with the country.

The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a resolution removing Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her controversial remarks on issues including the relationship between Israel and the United States. | The House passed the resolution removing Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee in a vote of 218-211 along partisan lines. The resolution accuses Omar of advancing "anti-Semitic tropes," including a February 2019 comment claiming the Jewish lobby was buying political support in the United States [which is a proven fact]. "It’s all about the Benjamins [$100 bills], baby," Omar is quoted as having said on the relations between the two countries. The resolution also cites a comment from March 2019, accusing Omar of having "trivialized" the September 11, 2001 terror attacks against the United States by describing them as "some people did something," [which is an obvious fact, but the "some people" bit is an implied or indirect reference to Israel. (Some facts are considered "anti-Semitic". )] The Foreign Affairs Committee is viewed by other nations as speaking for Congress and Omar’s comments have brought "dishonor" to the House of Representatives, the resolution said. [The House that gave 29 standing ovations to a proven war criminal (Benjamin Netanyahu), already had no honor, none whatever. Consequently, it is impossible to bring "dishonor" to the House of Representatives. The House is a den of vipers.]

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is entering the 2024 presidential race and will formally announce her candidacy on February 15, according to South Carolina’s Post and Courier. | Haley is reportedly sending her backers invitations for a “special announcement” that will take place at The Shed Downtown at the Charleston Visitor Center in downtown Charleston where she will officially launch her candidacy. A “member of Haley’s inner circle” confirmed Haley’s entrance into the 2024 race, the Post and Courier reported. The report about Haley’s presidential announcement came less than two weeks after she told Fox News’s Bret Baier she believes she could be the leader to push America into a “new direction.” 💬 “When you’re looking at a run for president, you look at two things: You first look at, does the current situation push for new leadership? The second question is, ‘Am I that person that could be that new leader?’” Haley said. Haley is following former President Donald Trump’s lead and will be the second Republican to enter the upcoming presidential race. ● The report also follows a revelation that Haley “played” Trump’s former chief of staff and plotted with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump to become Trump’s vice president, according to Mike Pompeo’s new memoir.

Nikki Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina, US Ambassador to the United Nations, and longtime Klaus Schwab associate, is reportedly mulling a 2024 run for President, a move that would pit her against President Trump in the GOP primary. Despite minuscule support from actual voters, Haley has the apparent backing of parts of the donor class and their associated media outlets, like Fox News, where her potential candidacy has become a much-talked-about subject.

A massive international research collaboration that analyzed several dozen rigorous studies focusing on "physical interventions" against COVID-19 and influenza found that they provide little to no protection against infection or illness rates. | The study, published in the peer-reviewed Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, is the strongest science to date refuting the basis for mask mandates worldwide. And of course, the CDC still recommends masking in areas with "high" rates of transmission (fewer than 4% of US counties, as Just the News notes), along with indoor masking in areas with "medium" rates of transmission (27%). ● According to the Cochrane study, which included the work of researchers at institutions in the U.K., Canada, Australia, Italy and Saudi Arabia, a total of 78 studies were analyzed. Most recent additions to the meta-analysis were 11 new randomized controlled trials. ● As unlisted study author Carl Heneghan - who directs the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford noted on Twitter: "Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI)/COVID‐19 like illness compared to not wearing masks."

Pfizer anticipates demand is faltering due to "fewer people" being "expected to receive their primary doses." | The pharmaceutical giant has witnessed its stock outlook falter going into 2023. Pfizer Inc shares have fallen 15% over the past month, eliminating a whopping $43 billion from the stock’s market cap. The company forecasted Tuesday it will only make $13.5 billion in vaccine sales this year, which marks a 64 percent drop from 2022. Analysts had previously predicted the forecast would amount to $16 billion, according to Zerohedge.

According to the shocking video, unvaccinated people are quietly tracked when they go to the doctor’s office or to the hospital due to a quiet new program proposed and implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

House Republican plan to vote on resolutions this week that would end COVID-19 emergency declarations immediately | Joe Biden told Congress on Monday that his administration will end twin emergencies related to the COVID-19 pandemic on May 11, 2023, more than three years after they were enacted. The COVID-19 national emergency is set to expire on March 1, while the public health emergency (PHE) will expire on April 11. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) wrote in a Statement of Administration Policy that Biden will extend both emergencies to May 11, at which point they will expire. The statement came in response to two resolutions being brought to the House floor by Republicans this week that call for an immediate end to the emergencies... Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., who introduced a bill with 51 co-sponsors to end the emergency immediately, said the House will go ahead with the vote on Wednesday. "There is no reason to wait. There is no reason to trust the Biden Regime," Gosar tweeted.

I have said it time and again on The Sons of Liberty Radio: Anyone that supports any type of direct taxation on another person is supporting tyranny, period. | Why is that? Because direct taxation means that the government, in essence, claims they have a right to you, the fruits of your labor and your property and can take it any time they deem fit if you do not pay the king’s ransom, and that’s what taxation is: a ransom. The reason direct taxation is so dangerous is that men are not free, but rather in bondage to a government of thieves and swindlers. The latest example of this comes out of the state of Massachusetts where a farmer’s $370,000 property was seized for a $60,000 ransom the terrorists in Massachusetts set on him. FEE has the story:

Alan DiPietro is an alpaca farmer in the town of Bolton, Massachusetts (pop: 5,376). He lives in an RV on the 34-acre property where he keeps his alpacas, and he sells their fleece to make a living. DiPietro wasn’t always a farmer. He previously worked as a chief engineer for iRobot, a company that makes autonomous home cleaning devices such as the Roomba vacuum cleaner. He became disenchanted with the bureaucracy and red tape of the corporate world, however, so in 2008 he decided to leave that world behind and begin his alpaca-farming venture.

Elena Panina (Елена Панина): US Congressman Dan Bishop recalled Joe Biden's March 2022 phrase: 💬 "The idea that we're going to send [Kiev] planes and tanks and train American pilots and American crews... Just understand, don't be fooled, whatever you all say - it's called World War III." ● What is interesting here is not the escalation of the conflict itself, which has taken Washington from supplying first-aid kits to Ukraine to promising Abrams in 11 months. What is interesting is how the White House master personally linked planes and tanks made in USA to Kiev with American pilots and crews in the same phrase.
