Siler, M.D. There is a massive propaganda push against those choosing not to vaccinate against COVID-19 with the experimental mRNA vaccines. Mainstream media, the big tech corporations, and our government have combined efforts to reward compliance and to shame and marginalize non-compliance. Their mantra says that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Persons who choose not to vaccinate are characterized as unintelligent, selfish, paranoid people who don't read much and live in a trailer park in Florida (or Alabama, or Texas, or name your state). Never has there been such an effort to cajole, manipulate through fear, and penalize people to take an experimental medical treatment. However, as time has passed with this pandemic and more data accumulates about the virus and the vaccine, the unvaccinated are looking smarter and smarter with each passing week. It has been shown now that the vaccinated equally catch and spread the virus. Vaccine side effect data continues to accumulate that make the risk of taking the vaccine prohibitive as the pandemic wanes. Oral and IV medications (flccc.net) that work early in the treatment of COVID-19 are much more attractive to take now as the vaccine risks are becoming known, especially because the vaccinated will need endless boosters every six months. First, let's address the intelligence of the unvaccinated. Vaccine hesitancy is multi-factorial and has little to do with level of education or intelligence. Carnegie Mellon University did a study assessing vaccine hesitancy across educational levels. According to the study, what's the educational level with the most vaccine hesitancy? Ph.D. level! Those can all have been awarded to liberal arts majors. Clearly, scientists who can read the data and assess risk are among the least likely to take the mRNA vaccines. The claim that there's a pandemic of the unvaccinated is, therefore, patently untrue. As a retired nurse from California recently asked, "Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that did not protect the protected in the first place?" If the vaccine works to prevent infection, then the vaccinated have nothing to worry about. If the vaccine does not prevent infection, then the vaccinated remain at some risk, and the unvaccinated would be less likely to choose a vaccine that does not work well. The mRNA vaccine efficacy is very narrow and focused on the original alpha strain of COVID-19. By targeting one antigen group on the spike protein, it does help for the original alpha strain, but it is clear now it does not protect against Delta strain and is likely not protective against any future strains that might circulate. It also appears that the efficacy wanes in 4-6 months, leading to discussions about boosters. Top Articles By American Thinker The Left's Psychiatric Weapon Several authors have pointed out that vaccinating with a "leaky" vaccine during a pandemic is driving the virus to escape by creating variants. If the booster is just another iteration of the same vaccine, it likely won't help against the new strain but will, instead, produce evolutionary pressure on the virus to produce even more variants and expose us to more side effects. Why, then, is this booster strategy for everyone being pursued? This vast Phase 3 clinical trial of mRNA vaccines in which Americans are participating mostly out of fear is not going well. It is abundantly clear for anyone advocating for public health that the vaccination program should be stopped. Iceland has just stopped giving the Moderna vaccine to anyone which is a good step in the right direction. Sweden, Denmark, and Finland have banned the Moderna vaccine for anyone under the age of 30. VAERS, our vaccine adverse effect reporting system, showed at the beginning of this week 16,000 deaths, 23,000 disabilities, 10,000 MI/myocarditis, 87,000 urgent care visits, 75,000 hospital stays, and 775,000 total adverse events. The VAERS system is widely known to under-report events by 1-10%. Eudravigilance, the European reporting system now associates 26,000 deaths in close proximity to administration of the vaccine. Whistleblower data from the CMS system (Medicare charts) showed close to 50,000 deaths in the Medicare group shortly after the vaccine. An AI-powered tracking program called Project Salus also follows the Medicare population and shows vaccinated Medicare recipients are having worse outcomes week by week of the type consistent with Antibody Dependent Enhancement. This occurs when the vaccine antibodies actually accelerate the infection leading to worsening COVID-19 infection outcomes. Antibody Dependent Enhancement has occurred previously with trials of other coronavirus vaccines in animals. The CDC and the FDA are suppressing this data and no one who receives the vaccine has true informed consent. The Rome declaration has 6,700 medical signatories attesting that the handling of the pandemic amounts to crimes against humanity for denying the best medical treatment and continuing to advocate for harmful vaccines. The evidence is right in front of Americans to end the propaganda and mass mask psychosis. The media narrative of perpetual fear is falling apart. Norway, Sweden, and Denmark have ended all COVID restrictions and are doing much better than the US, UK, and Israel, three countries that continue to vaccinate into the pandemic. Mexico, Guatemala, Indonesia, almost all of Africa, and parts of India have low vaccination rates and are doing much better than the US, something attributed to their managing the pandemic by using Ivermectin. Over 500,000 people attended the Sturgis motorcycle rally in August and there was no super spread of COVID-19. Football season started in August and stadiums around the country are packed with 80,000 fans yelling and screaming with no masks. There have been no superspreader events, yet the students are forced to go back to masking in class. This makes no sense. If the vaccine is so important why do our government leaders and illegal aliens not have to take it? Currently, 13 states that are Democratic with high vaccination rates have the highest "case" rates (using a faulty PCR test), while Republican states are all doing better. How does this happen? It should be clear that the government has manipulated COVID to create perpetual fear, so we'll hand it our liberty. In this giant battle between our government and the unvaccinated, I hope enough people will refuse to comply so that we can unite to stop this madness. I know this decision is very difficult for many people when it comes to losing their job. To the vaccinated, please don't take any boosters for you'll just be perpetuating the risk of side effects and new variants. If we allow the government to decide this medical decision for us, it is a short step for the government to say it can decide other medical decisions for you, e.g., all persons over 75 never be resuscitated; people may have only three children (or two or one) with mandatory sterilization for women; or refusing the government's demands will see you denied health care. Is this the totalitarian state you want to live in? If you are proudly vaccinated now and on the government side, what about the next government mandate, when you're on the other side, coerced into a decision you don't want, how will you feel then? It is obvious that the government (with the Fauci subset), the media, and big tech, are trying to divide us and take away the freedoms we have enjoyed as Americans. I am praying that all who call themselves Americans can unite to end this medical tyranny and regain a free America before it is too late. Peacefully resist and do not comply. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/10/the_unvacci nated_are_looking_smarter_every_week.html ____________________________________________________________ Choose to be safer online.

Jacob Sullum | 11.7.2021 5:05 PM reason-vaccine3 ( Felipe Caparros Cruz/Dreamstime.com) The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit yesterday stayed the Biden administration's brand-new COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private employers, which took effect on Friday, when it was published in the Federal Register. The appeals court said the arguments made by the petitioners?a Louisiana supermarket chain and six employees of a Texas company that makes kitchen ventilation systems?"give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate." The vaccine rule, which was announced in early September but was not unveiled until last Thursday, gives businesses with 100 or more employees two options: They can adopt a "mandatory vaccination policy" with limited exceptions, or they can require unvaccinated employees to wear face masks and undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. The White House described the mandate as part of a broader effort to boost the nationwide vaccination rate. The aim, it said, is to "reduce the number of unvaccinated Americans by using regulatory powers and other actions to substantially increase the number of Americans covered by vaccination requirements." But the federal government has no general authority to protect public health, control communicable diseases, or require vaccination, all of which are primarily state responsibilities. The administration therefore presented the vaccine mandate as an "emergency temporary standard" (ETS) issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is charged specifically with protecting employees from workplace hazards. As the 5th Circuit indicated, that legal strategy leaves the mandate open to challenge on both statutory and constitutional grounds. The plaintiffs in BST Holdings v. OSHA, who are represented by the Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center and Louisiana's Pelican Institute for Public Policy, argue that the ETS exceeds the agency's authority under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Even if it didn't, they say, empowering OSHA to issue such a sweeping order would exceed the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce and violate the nondelegation doctrine, which constrains lawmaking by executive agencies. The ETS option, which OSHA rarely uses, allows the agency to circumvent the usual rule making process, which typically takes years, by imposing regulations that take effect immediately upon publication. But to avoid the public notice, comment, and hearing requirements that ordinarily apply to OSHA rules, the agency has to identify a "grave danger" to employees "from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards." It also has to show the emergency standard is "necessary to protect employees from such danger." As a general matter, the plaintiffs in the 5th Circuit case argue, the ETS goes beyond OSHA's mission to protect "occupational health and safety" because "it is not related to the workplace." The agency "has authority over workplace-related hazards," they say, "not any hazard one might encounter anywhere in the world." The plaintiffs' 5th Circuit brief notes that "OSHA has never attempted to implement a rule this broad." Although the agency has been mulling an "Infectious Diseases Regulatory Framework" covering "airborne infectious diseases" since 2010, it "has repeatedly shelved the suggestion, leaving it to languish on the agency's no-action agenda." The only previous OSHA standard dealing with vaccination was much narrower, requiring that "employers whose workers could be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials at work offer free Hepatitis B vaccination to employees." Even that standard did not require vaccination, and it did not deal with a general, population-wide threat from a communicable disease. More specifically, the plaintiffs argue that "COVID-19 is not a toxic substance or agent," adding that "OSHA cannot attempt to shoehorn this disease into the phrase 'new hazards.'" That phrase, they say, should be understood in context to exclude airborne viruses: "Because Congress expressly allowed for an ETS to be issued for 'substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful,' the catch-all phrase to encompass other hazards must be read in light of, and limited to, items similar to those that come before it." Otherwise, the brief says, OSHA "would have unbridled power to promulgate any regulation that would have the arguable effect of preventing the spread of a communicable disease." Such measures could include "a shutdown of an entire industry [such as meatpacking] that might harbor a high [incidence] of COVID-19," "a nationwide shutdown of all employers engaged in interstate commerce," "a nationwide mask mandate on all customers visiting OSHA-regulated businesses," or even "a rule mandating [an] appropriate regimen of vitamins" aimed at boosting employees' immune responses. The Supreme Court has cautioned against assuming that Congress intended to authorize executive actions with broad economic implications if it did not explicitly say so. "When an agency claims to discover in a long-extant statute an unheralded power to regulate a significant portion of the American economy," the Court said in 2014, "we typically greet its announcement with a measure of skepticism. We expect Congress to speak clearly if it wishes to assign to an agency decisions of vast 'economic and political significance.'" The plaintiffs' brief says OSHA's claim that it is responding to a "grave danger" justifying an emergency standard is belied by the timing of the ETS. The regulation was published nearly two years after the beginning of the pandemic, nearly a year after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved COVID-19 vaccines for "emergency use," and more than two months after the FDA gave the Pfizer vaccine its full approval. "The extended timeframe for the ETS undermines any claim of exigence," the plaintiffs say. "And the real kicker is the same day the ETS was released, November 4, the White House also announced it was delaying its federal contractor vaccination mandate from December 8 to January 4, again undermining its assertion of exigency." That is also the deadline for private employers to fully comply with the ETS published on Friday. The plaintiffs suggest that "truly 'grave dangers' do not wait to spread until after the holidays." The brief also questions whether the ETS for private employers is "necessary" to protect against the threat posed by COVID-19. When OSHA issued a COVID-19 ETS for the health care industry in June, the rule did not include a vaccination requirement. "The fact that OSHA's previous ETS, issued just months ago, did not find the need for a vaccine mandate even for healthcare workers, who treat COVID-19 patients, undermines OSHA's assertion now that such a requirement is necessary," the plaintiffs say. They also note that OSHA supported in-person instruction of public school students even when the vast majority of them were not vaccinated, which suggests that other safeguards may suffice. The brief argues that the new ETS is "underinclusive" because weekly testing can miss COVID-19 carriers, because employees who are vaccinated can still carry the virus but don't have to be tested or wear masks, and because the rule does not apply to customers or other visitors who may transmit COVID-19 in the workplace. At the same time, the plaintiffs say, the rule is "overinclusive" because it "does not account for vulnerability related to age or preexisting health conditions," because it does not accept naturally acquired immunity as a valid reason to forgo vaccination, and because, while the ETS "excuses remote and outdoor workers from its scope," it "covers every other employee even while acknowledging employees in different roles face vastly different risk levels." The brief says several of the individual plaintiffs "rarely interact with colleagues in person and should not be required to vaccinate or show a negative COVID-19 test since they are highly unlikely to spread COVID-19 to colleagues they may only see a few times a year." And since the ETS "applies to every workplace of an employer of 100 or more employees," the plaintiffs say, it "does not consider the different degrees of risk associated with differing workplaces." Yet "it cannot be considered 'necessary' as to all such workplaces." Even if Congress wanted to give OSHA the authority it claims, the plaintiffs say, doing so would run afoul of the nondelegation doctrine, which aims to preserve the separation of powers by requiring an "intelligible principle" to guide regulation by executive agencies. Under OSHA's reading of the law, the brief argues, the agency has "plenary power to establish whatever legal requirements [it] wishes, regardless of how attenuated" their relationship to workplace safety may be. According to the government, "OSHA's newfound authority empowers it not simply to set safe levels of potential carcinogens in the workplace, or require safety equipment and employee trainings, but to regulate the off-site medical decisions of employees completely disconnected from work." If OSHA "can require that companies mandate vaccines," the brief asks, "what can it not require?" The plaintiffs also argue that Congress itself does not have the authority to demand that private-sector employees choose between vaccination and testing plus masking. According to the Supreme Court's understanding of the Commerce Clause, the federal government can regulate "activities having a substantial relation to interstate commerce," even when those activities themselves do not cross state lines. In deciding whether a given regulation meets that test, courts are supposed to consider "the economic character of the intrastate activity"; whether the regulation contains a "jurisdictional element" that may "establish whether the enactment is in pursuance of Congress' regulation of interstate commerce"; congressional findings regarding the regulated activity's impact on interstate commerce; and whether that impact is too "attenuated" for the regulation to pass muster under the Commerce Clause. In this case, the regulated "activity"?the decision to forgo vaccination ?is not only not "economic"; it is not even an "activity." The plaintiffs argue that forgoing vaccination is analogous to refraining from purchasing government-approved medical insurance, a decision that a majority of the Court agreed could not be reached under the Commerce Clause in the 2012 Obamacare case National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius. "If Congress can regulate employees' individual health decisions under the Commerce Clause," the plaintiffs say, "then it can mandate that employers require their workers to attend the gym weekly or to eat broccoli"?a reference to a famous hypothetical in the Obamacare case. What about a "jurisdictional element"? The plaintiffs' brief notes that "the mandate's limit to employers with 100 or more employees does not actually limit its reach to interstate activities," since "some employers with more than 100 employees do not engage in interstate activities at all," while "some employers with fewer than 100 employees engage in extensive interstate activity." Nor did OSHA (or Congress) "make any findings regarding the effect of COVID-19 vaccinations and testing on interstate commerce." The agency's avowed aim is to protect unvaccinated employees from the risk posed by their own choice to remain unvaccinated. If those choices can be said to affect interstate commerce, the plaintiffs say, it is only by "pil[ing] inference upon inference," which the Supreme Court has said is not permissible as a justification for federal regulation, since it would "bid fair to convert congressional authority under the Commerce Clause to a general police power of the sort retained by the States." At this early stage in the case, it is not clear which of these arguments the 5th Circuit found most persuasive, although the wording of its stay implies that it perceives both statutory and constitutional reasons to doubt the legality of OSHA's rule. The court gave the government until 5 p.m. on Monday to "respond to the petitioners' motion for a permanent injunction." The petitioners, in turn, "shall file any reply" by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. The vaccine mandate faces additional challenges, including lawsuits backed by the attorneys general of 26 states, in the 5th, 6th, 8th, and 11th circuits. Last week The New York Times reported that "legal experts say" OSHA "has the authority to introduce a vaccine mandate." Judging from the 5th Circuit's stay and all the other litigation contesting OSHA's authority, that assessment seems premature. https://reason.com/2021/11/07/here-are-the-arguments-that-persuaded-the-5th-circuit-to-block-oshas-vaccine-mandate-for-private-employers/?utm_medium=email ____________________________________________________________ Choose to be safer online.

The Republican Party of Wyoming voted on Saturday to no longer recognize Rep. Liz Cheney as a member of their party. Cheney has been one of the most outspoken critics of former President Donald Trump. She was among the 10 Republican members of Congress who voted to impeach Trump the second time when Democrats brought up charges of inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6. The state party central committee voted 31-29 during a meeting in Buffalo, Wyoming, to formally censure Cheney for the second time. A spokesperson for Cheney responded to the vote in a statement to the Associated Press. "She is bound by her oath to the Constitution. Sadly a portion of the Wyoming GOP leadership has abandoned that fundamental principle and instead allowed themselves to be held hostage to the lies of a dangerous and irrational man," said Jeremy Adler. He added that it was "laughable" for the state party to suggest Cheney was anything other than a "conservative Republican." Don't miss out on content from Dave Rubin free of big tech censorship. Listen to The Rubin Report now. The vote might have been at least in part a response to a scathing speech Cheney gave on Tuesday excoriating the former president and his claims about fraud in the 2020 election which he lost to President Joe Biden. "At this moment when it matters most, we are also confronting a domestic threat that we've never faced before: a former president who's attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional Republic, aided by political leaders who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man," said Cheney during the speech. She went on in the speech to rebuke the policies of Biden and the Democratic Party and enumerate the principles of conservatism as she saw them. Cheney is facing a list of primary challengers for the at-large seat for Wyoming. Trump has endorsed Cheyenne attorney Harriet Hageman. "Liz Cheney stopped recognizing what Wyomingites care about a long time ago," Hageman claimed. "When she launched her war against President Trump, she completely broke with where we are as a state." Cheney responded to the endorsement with a defiant message: "Bring it."

Federal health authorities and a slew of jurisdictions require or recommend wearing masks as a way to limit spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. But a trio of researchers pored over the studies often cited by the officials and found they were poorly designed and offered scant evidence supporting mask usage. Many of the studies are observational, opening them up to confounding variables, the researchers said in their analysis (pdf), which was published on Nov. 8 by the Cato Institute. Of 16 randomized controlled trials comparing mask effectiveness to controls with no masks, 14 failed to find a statistically significant benefit, the researchers said. And of 16 quantitative meta-analyses, half showed weak evidence of mask effectiveness while the others ?were equivocal or critical as to whether evidence supports a public recommendation of masks,? they added. ?The biggest takeaway is that more than 100 years of attempts to prove that masks are beneficial has produced a large volume of mostly low-quality evidence that has generally failed to demonstrate their value in most settings,? Dr. Jonathan Darrow, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told The Epoch Times in an email. ?Officials mulling mask recommendations should turn their attention to interventions with larger and more certain benefits, such as vaccines. Based on the evidence currently available, masks are mostly a distraction from the important work of promoting the public health,? he added. One widely-cited study (pdf) by mask proponents, of rural villages in Bangladesh, found that surgical masks appeared to be marginally effective in reducing symptomatic COVID-19 but that cloth masks did not, Darrow and his colleagues noted. The other real-world randomized controlled trial examining mask effectiveness, conducted in Denmark, did not find a statistically significant difference in infections between the masked and unmasked groups. ?The remainder of the available clinical evidence is primarily limited to non-randomized observational data, which are subject to confounding,? the researchers said, including accounting for other differences in behavior among those who don?t wear masks. They did say that there is evidence masks reduce droplet dispersion, though cloth masks are unlikely to capture the particles even if worn properly. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers cannot wait for higher-quality evidence to support masking, but from an ethical standpoint, they should ?refrain from portraying the evidence as stronger than it actually is,? the researchers concluded. COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The CCP virus is also known as the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2. Some outside experts? views align with the researchers, including Dr. Martin Kulldorff, senior scientific director of the Brownstone Institute. ?The truth is that there has been only two randomized trials of masks for COVID. One was in Denmark, which showed that they might be slightly beneficial, they might be slightly harmful, we don?t really know?the confidence interval kind of crossed zero,? he said. ?And then there was another study from Bangladesh where they randomized villagers to masks or no masks. And the efficacy of the masks was for reduction of COVID was something between zero and 18 percent. So either no effect or very minuscule effect.? Some experts, though, say the existing evidence does support masking recommendations, and several reacted strongly to the new analysis. The analysis drew some pushback, including from Kimberly Prather, director of the National Science Foundation Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment. Prather noted on Twitter that researchers said masks reduce the amount of virus in the air and believed that ran counter to their conclusions. Darrow responded by saying the amount of virus in the air was a surrogate, not a clinical endpoint. ?The amount of pathogen in air (to be inhaled) directly determines the dose. This is directly linked to risk,? Prather added. ?Or can you explain how less virus in the air could be higher risk?

Federal health authorities and a slew of jurisdictions require or recommend wearing masks as a way to limit spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. But a trio of researchers pored over the studies often cited by the officials and found they were poorly designed and offered scant evidence supporting mask usage. Many of the studies are observational, opening them up to confounding variables, the researchers said in their analysis (pdf), which was published on Nov. 8 by the Cato Institute. Of 16 randomized controlled trials comparing mask effectiveness to controls with no masks, 14 failed to find a statistically significant benefit, the researchers said. And of 16 quantitative meta-analyses, half showed weak evidence of mask effectiveness while the others ?were equivocal or critical as to whether evidence supports a public recommendation of masks,? they added. ?The biggest takeaway is that more than 100 years of attempts to prove that masks are beneficial has produced a large volume of mostly low-quality evidence that has generally failed to demonstrate their value in most settings,? Dr. Jonathan Darrow, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told The Epoch Times in an email. ?Officials mulling mask recommendations should turn their attention to interventions with larger and more certain benefits, such as vaccines. Based on the evidence currently available, masks are mostly a distraction from the important work of promoting the public health,? he added. One widely-cited study (pdf) by mask proponents, of rural villages in Bangladesh, found that surgical masks appeared to be marginally effective in reducing symptomatic COVID-19 but that cloth masks did not, Darrow and his colleagues noted. The other real-world randomized controlled trial examining mask effectiveness, conducted in Denmark, did not find a statistically significant difference in infections between the masked and unmasked groups. ?The remainder of the available clinical evidence is primarily limited to non-randomized observational data, which are subject to confounding,? the researchers said, including accounting for other differences in behavior among those who don?t wear masks. They did say that there is evidence masks reduce droplet dispersion, though cloth masks are unlikely to capture the particles even if worn properly. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers cannot wait for higher-quality evidence to support masking, but from an ethical standpoint, they should ?refrain from portraying the evidence as stronger than it actually is,? the researchers concluded. COVID-19 is the disease caused by the?CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The CCP virus is also known as the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2. Some outside experts? views align with the researchers, including Dr. Martin Kulldorff, senior scientific director of the Brownstone Institute. ?The truth is that there has been only two randomized trials of masks for COVID. One was in Denmark, which showed that they might be slightly beneficial, they might be slightly harmful, we don?t really know?the confidence interval kind of crossed zero,? he said. ?And then there was another study from Bangladesh where they randomized villagers to masks or no masks. And the efficacy of the masks was for reduction of COVID was something between zero and 18 percent. So either no effect or very minuscule effect.? Some experts, though, say the existing evidence does support masking recommendations, and several reacted strongly to the new analysis. The analysis drew some pushback, including from Kimberly Prather, director?of the National Science Foundation Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment. Prather noted on Twitter that researchers said masks reduce the amount of virus in the air and believed that ran counter to their conclusions. Darrow responded by saying the amount of virus in the air was a surrogate, not a clinical endpoint. ?The amount of pathogen in air (to be inhaled) directly determines the dose. This is directly linked to risk,? Prather added. ?Or can you explain how less virus in the air could be higher risk? It?s equivalent to saying that less pathogen in drinking water is higher risk so don?t filter water.? ?If the theory diverges from what you see in real life, which one do you believe?? Darrow said.

Billy Binion | 11.19.2021 1:15 PM zumaglobaleleven303376 Kyle Rittenhouse looks at evidence during his trial (Mark Hertzberg/ZUMA Press Wire/ZUMAPRESS/Newscom) Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen who said he feared for his life when he killed two men and wounded another during a night of unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has been found not guilty on all charges, including first-degree reckless homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide. The prosecution had hoped to convince the jury that a 17-year-old Rittenhouse killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, without just cause when he traveled to the riots on August 25, 2020, although their case struggled to gain traction. Rosenbaum was described by a witness for the state as "hyperaggressive," ultimately chasing Rittenhouse down and trying to wrestle away his AR-15 before Rittenhouse shot him. Video footage showed Huber striking Rittenhouse in the neck with a skateboard before also trying to take his firearm. And Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, the man who Rittenhouse shot in the bicep, testified for the prosecution that he approached Rittenhouse that evening with his own pistol raised, throwing cold water on characterizations that Grosskreutz had his hands in the air. The now-18-year-old Rittenhouse became the star witness in his own trial when he took the stand in his defense last week. It was an unusual gambit for a defendant. But it may have imperiled the prosecution, as Judge Bruce Schroeder admonished Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger for opening his questioning with a commentary on Rittenhouse's post-arrest silence?Binger seemed to suggest that such silence was evidence of his guilt?and for attempting to show the jury evidence that Schroeder had already ruled was likely inadmissible. "I don't know what you're up to," the judge said last Wednesday in a testy exchange with Binger. "When you say that you were acting in good faith, I don't believe that." The prosecutor was also roundly criticized for drawing a connection between Rittenhouse's actions and his affection for Call of Duty, as well as for his line of questioning on ammunition, which required the judge to correct him while Rittenhouse was on the stand. Yet a nugget from his closing arguments drew the loudest rebukes: "If you created the danger," Binger said, "you forfeit the right to self-defense by bringing that gun, aiming it at people, threatening people's lives." No matter your feelings toward Rittenhouse, that statement by the prosecutor was "legally wrong," says Clark Neily, who served as co-counsel in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the landmark Supreme Court decision recognizing an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. "The right to arm yourself and to protect yourself?these are natural rights that are not granted by the government, they're not granted by the Constitution. They're rights that we all possess." Rittenhouse's trial became somewhat of an upside-down microcosm for the polarized debates about the U.S. criminal legal system as the loudest voices effectively traded in their priors and reversed roles. Cries to eschew due process and assign a lengthy prison term came from many on the criminal-justice-reform left, while the back-the-blue right zeroed in on prosecutorial overreach. "Lock up Kyle Rittenhouse and throw away the key," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D?N.Y.), the chair of the House Democratic Caucus, who has dedicated much of his career to fighting mass incarceration. Judge Schroeder found himself at the center of similar reproach, coming under fire for rulings that some described as biased and too pro-defendant. It bears mentioning that his decisions were consistent with his decades-long career and not exclusive to Rittenhouse. But perhaps more significant is that judges have a reputation for being prosecutors in robes: On the federal bench, for instance, there are four former prosecutors for every one former defense attorney. Those concerned with criminal justice reform would typically laud a judge with a history like Schroeder's?when considering the deference that judges often give to the prosecution. And this time it was conservative pundits who railed against the prosecutors, depicting Binger especially as a corrupt government agent with a lust for blood and a desire to punish Rittenhouse to placate social justice movements. One hopes they will continue to apply that healthy skepticism to all prosecutors, who enjoy absolute immunity from misconduct on the job and who are no strangers to seedy behavior. As for Rittenhouse, despite the considerable amount of punditry devoted to a binary narrative?that he was a hero or a murderer?Neily presents another option: "I think he exhibited very poor judgement in arming himself and then going into that environment with a very visible, modern rifle. There's no question that there are people who perceive that to be a provocative act," Neily says. Based on the evidence, however, "I think he should be acquitted." It appears the jury agrees. https://reason.com/2021/11/19/kyle-rittenhouse-has-been-acquitted-on-all-charges/?utm_medium=email https://reason.com/2021/11/19/kyle-rittenhouse-has-been-acquitted-on-all-charges/?utm_medium=email ____________________________________________________________ Sponsored by https://www.newser.com/?utm_source=part&utm_medium=uol&utm_campaign=rss_taglines_more St. Jude's Has Billions, and ProPublica Isn't Sure It Should http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/61992dc56e7822dc56becst01vuc1 He Didn't Invent Toys, but He's the Genius We Can Thank for Them http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/61992dc58db472dc56becst01vuc2 At Elizabeth Holmes Trial, a 'Sudden,' Maybe Risky Move http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/61992dc5b15c62dc56becst01vuc3 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Robby Soave | 11.19.2021 3:52 PM eyepress109040 (EyePress/Newscom) Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who shot and killed two men during the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer, was acquitted on Friday. Prosecutors had charged him with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, but the jury was persuaded by Rittenhouse's argument that he acted in self-defense. For anyone who had followed the trial closely, this outcome is unsurprising. The prosecution simply did not meet its burden of proof, and Rittenhouse's defense team presented considerable evidence that he reasonably feared for his life each time he pulled the trigger. A witness testified that Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man shot by Rittenhouse, had threatened Rittenhouse's life and was attempting to wrest control of Rittenhouse's AR-15. The second man, Anthony Huber, struck Rittenhouse with a skateboard. And the third man?Gaige Grosskreutz, who survived?admitted on the stand that he had first pointed his own gun at Rittenhouse; Rittenhouse shot him in response to this perceived threat. As former Rep. Justin Amash (L?Mich.) put it: "The Rittenhouse case was a clear case of self-defense based on the evidence presented. The initial media narrative was false. Justice prevailed." Indeed, people who did not follow the trial closely, and instead relied on secondhand punditry from liberal media figures, probably missed some very basic facts about the case, including that it had little to do with race: Rittenhouse and all three of his victims were white. This is an important point that some mainstream media coverage continues to miss. At MSNBC, for instance, Ja'han Jones, a writer for show host Joy Reid's blog, reacted to the verdict by explicitly saying Rittenhouse's whiteness produced the acquittal: The case had the makings of an acquittal before the trial even began. The outcome seemed clear even before an almost exclusively white jury pool was selected, even before Judge Bruce Schroeder created an uproar by ruling that the slain protesters could be referred to as "rioters" and "looters" but not "victims," even before Schroeder refused to punish Rittenhouse for what prosecutors said amounted to a violation of his bond conditions. Rittenhouse is a white teen who abides by white rules, and white people empathetic to those rules seemed poised to insulate him from repercussions. Rep. Cori Bush (D?Mo.) described the verdict as "white supremacy in action": The judge. The jury. The defendant. It's white supremacy in action. This system isn't built to hold white supremacists accountable. It's why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free. I'm hurt. I'm angry. I'm heartbroken. ? Cori Bush (@CoriBush) November 19, 2021 The accounts of former quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter movement made similar statements. These remarks all reek of ignorance: A jury acquitting a white defendant for killing three white men is hardly an example of white supremacy. Perhaps it's not surprising that activists and Democratic politicians would reflexively cite white supremacy in a trial outcome that disappoints Team Blue. More troubling is the response to the verdict from an organization that should know better: the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In a statement reacting to the verdict, ACLU-Wisconsin Interim Executive Director Shaadie Ali lamented the "deep roots of white supremacy" in Kenosha that prevented Rittenhouse from being "held responsible for his actions." "Kyle Rittenhouse was a juvenile who traveled across state lines on a vigilante mission, was allowed by police to roam the streets of Kenosha with an assault rifle and ended up shooting three people and killing two," said Brandon Buskey, director of the ACLU's Criminal Law Reform Project. "These are the simple, tragic facts. His acquittal comes after an ACLU investigation exposing how Kenosha law enforcement used violence against protesters and drove them toward white militia groups, in ways that escalated tensions and almost certainly led to these shootings." In a Twitter thread, the ACLU complained that Rittenhouse was not held accountable for his "conscious decision to travel across state lines and injure one person and take the lives of two people protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by police." Of course, it is not illegal to travel across state lines; the fact that Rittenhouse wandered outside the boundaries of his home and entered a neighboring municipality was irrelevant to the case. The jury did not agree with?and the facts of the case did not support?the claim that his decision to shoot three people was "conscious" in the sense that it was premeditated. He argued that he rationally believed his life was in imminent danger, and the surviving shooting victim provided testimony that supported this argument. One might have expected that an organization dedicated to the preservation of civil liberties would not so cavalierly take the side of prosecutors against the concept of self-defense. In the past, the ACLU has done terrific work shining a light on prosecutorial misconduct?the tremendous power the state has to stack the deck against defendants. The ACLU purports to believe that all people, even the guilty, deserve due process protections. The organization is evidently outraged by the verdict: Is the ACLU outraged that the prosecutor tried to argue that Rittenhouse exercising his Miranda rights was evidence of his guilt? It is not necessary to elevate Rittenhouse to hero status, or to agree with his very poor decision to involve himself in the Kenosha riots, to accept that the prosecution failed to prove the charges against him. Rittenhouse is now a free man?not because of white supremacy, or because the criminal justice system failed. Activists, politicians, and media figures who purport to care about civil liberties should work toward empowering other defendants to avail themselves of due process, rather than complain that in this one case, the prosecutors did not get its way. https://reason.com/2021/11/19/kyle-rittenhouse-verdict-acquitted-aclu-media-liberals/?utm_medium=email ____________________________________________________________ Choose to be safer online.

This young man should be gleefully rubbing his palms together.? I left media 25 years ago because I couldn't stomach the partisanship and the lying at that time. Today, it's exponentially worse than ever. I dare to say that we have no more media in this country. What we have is a bureau of propaganda. If any of you doubt me, just go on YouTube and see the montage of reactions from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS (which ought to be called "see BS") and all of their braying jackasses. I can't fathom how Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist when he shot three WHITE people - who all had criminal records! One of them kept yelling "nigger" this and that before Kyle shot him. And by the way, can we stop acting like using the word "nigger" is like blaspheming God? The word is used in 95% of rap songs today. Comedian Dave Chappelle, who is black, used it on his TV show. But, nobody is allowed to say it, except black people - like it's an affront to God or something. More people take the name of Jesus Christ in vain but don't dare say anything but the phrase, "the n-word". CNN didn't learn a damned thing after losing a libel suit to Nick Sandmann to the tune of a quarter billion (that's right, with a "B") dollars. Brandon Biden has a hand in this, too, and I'd love to see Rittenhouse reach into Brandon's pocket for a hundred mil, at least. -----Original Message----- From: Carl Spitzer {C Juno} via Rushtalk To: RushTalk Cc: Carl Spitzer {C Juno} Sent: Sat, Nov 20, 2021 12:19 pm Subject: [Rushtalk] Kyle Rittenhouse Has Been Acquitted on All Charges Kyle Rittenhouse Has Been Acquitted on All Charges The trial became an upside-down microcosm for the polarized debates about the U.S. criminal justice system.

It appears the jury agrees. https://reason.com/2021/11/19/kyle-rittenhouse-has-been-acquitted-on-all-charges/?utm_medium=email https://reason.com/2021/11/19/kyle-rittenhouse-has-been-acquitted-on-all-charges/?utm_medium=email ____________________________________________________________ Top News - Sponsored By Newser - St. Jude's Has Billions, and ProPublica Isn't Sure It Should - He Didn't Invent Toys, but He's the Genius We Can Thank for Them - At Elizabeth Holmes Trial, a 'Sudden,' Maybe Risky Move _______________________________________________ Rushtalk mailing list Rushtalk at csdco.com http://galene.csd.net/mailman/listinfo/rushtalk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With news crews following him around as they tour the place, the President asks the chief if there was anything they need. "Well," says the chief, "We have three very important needs. First, we have a medical clinic, but no doctor to man it.?? Biden whips out his cellphone, dials a number, talks to somebody for two minutes, and then hangs up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days." "Now what was the second problem?" "We have no way to get clean water. The local mining operation has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for thousands of years.? We've been flying bottled water in, and it's terribly expensive." Once again, Biden dials a number, yells into the phone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. "The mine has been shut down, and the owner is being billed for setting up a purification plant for your people." "Now what was that third problem?"?
