FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FROM VACCINE INJURY HAS GONE MAINSTREAM

My friend, Dr Malhotra is correct. Pharma must be held responsible for the vaccine injured, We all must admit that vaccine injury is real, that people have been hurt, even died. The our governments have failed us. It is time to take a stand for what is right. https://t.co/lJbEPwo2bW

the real threat isn't from climate change, it's from climate change policies that make energy scarce and expensive

Prior to Hurricane Ian, this has been the quietest start to hurricane season in 30 years.  But the climate alarmists are going to alarm us.  

DON LEMON: What effect does climate change have on this phenomenon, that is happening now because it seems these storms are intensifying, that's the question.

JAMIE ROHME: I don't think you can link climate change to any one event . . . to any one event, I would caution against that.

LEMON:  Look, I grew up there, and these storms are intensifying.  

Intensifying, remember that word, the new word from Climate Change Davos, the EU, and the WEF that has been inserted into the non-debate over climate change.  

Now what's the truth here, let's just stick to the facts about the frequency and intensification of the hurricanes.  

SHELLENBERGER:  Yeah, the basic facts is that there's been no increase in landfall in hurricanes over the last 120 years; in fact, there's a slight decline.  There is no science supporting the idea that hurricanes have become more frequent.  In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, NOAA, predicts that the frequency of hurricanes will actually decline by 25%.  They also expect that they'll intensify by 5% but they are not intensifying right now.  So any perception that hurricanes are more intense is just a perception fed by that relentless, alarmist media.  I think also there's just a lot more people that live in hurricane alley and we're much more resilient to extreme weather events.  So there's just a lot more people experiencing hurricanes because we're just so wealthy and prosperous and there's so many more of us, so I think that's what creates this false perception.    

INGRAM:  A lot of emotions that are pouring out of people while they watch the hurricane on television. 

SHELLENBERGER:  Yeah, that's right.  It's the manipulation of people's feelings.  It's good to feel compassionate for the people that are struggling under extreme weather events, that's a positive feeling.  But I you get this manipulation of emotion.  There is something on the Left is that if you're serious about something, if you really care about something, then you'll exaggerate it.  So you see this constant exaggeration of all these issues.  Climate Change being the prime example of it.  The fact of the matter is that deaths from natural disasters have been going down.  The costs have not increased at all.  The increased costs from hurricane damage is just that there's more wealth in harm's way.  And so for that reason, we've actually seen the number of disasters, not extreme weather events, but disasters which are measured in deaths and costs has actually declined since the beginning of this [the 21st] century.  And that's great news; it means we're actually becoming much more resilient, much more capable of dealing with these extreme weather events.  It's actually a story of success, and our hearts go out to people suffering from extreme weather, but the big picture is it's really been an incredible success story for people living in the United States and societies around the world. 

INGRAM:  Just to give you a little gift, Michael, here's Joy Reid 

SHELLENBERGER:  It's become a religion, Laura.  It's an apocalyptic religion, a kind of reversion to the sphere of the Sky Gods.  It's a pagan religion, this irrational fear, and obvious they're trying to attract eyeballs too.  It's a manipulation.  It's bizarre.  And obviously the real threat isn't from climate change, it's from climate change policies that make energy scarce and expensive, like you were just talking about with the disaster that's unfolding in Europe.  We have to make sure that doesn't happen here.  Abundant energy is the key, and much of that agenda to hype climate change is about stifling domestic energy production, making energy scarce and expensive, so we really have to guard against that.  

INGRAM:  And doing things like banning natural gas appliances, which is taking root all over the United States, these local bans, Santa Barbara I remember started it, now it's moving across into New York and other places, it's just going to make people's lives more miserable and make people have a lower standard of living.

ARE OUR CHILDREN NOW OWNED BY THE STATE?

H/T Lew Rockwell

Ingram explains that the Pope intervened. 

How so?  He asked that Alfie's parents and hospital officials should work together.  Wow, that's some powerful intervention.    

Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia, head of the Pontifical Academy of Life, a Vatican bioethics think tank, said earlier today that Alfie's parents and hospital officials should work together so his life isn't 'reduced to a legal dispute.' 

Actually, he did more than that.  According to Joe Herring, the Pope made some moves to grant Alfie Italian citizenship and then put a military transport helicopter on standby.  This is more of an anti-state action than it is an action on behalf of Alfie and his parents.  One has to ask, how does the Pope have access to military helicopters?  

Italy has conferred citizenship to Alfir, and there is a medical air ambulance standing by at the request of the Pope to fly Alfie to the Vatican's Children's Hospital, Bambino Gesu, where Alfie can be treated. 

The UK Sunday Express explained that 

The Pope personally intervened earlier this month and has today approved of the use of an air ambulance.  Earlier in the week, Italy granted Alfie citizenship. 

But despite the Pope’s intervention, British Court of Appeals ruled that Alfie shall not be taken abroad for treatment.  

A judge has ruled that Alfie will not be allowed to be taken abroad for treatment, but Alfie's parents are challenging the decision in the Court of Appeal.

That ruling asserts the hospital’s authority over the parents'.  What a horrible precedent.  This means that once people are admitted, they have to get permission from the hospital before they leave, and if they don’t get it, a family member has to appeal to the courts to get the hospital to release you; otherwise, you’re, what, a fugitive?  

Ingram continues.

The Italian president, Sergio Mattarella, even granted the boy Italian citizenship and still the medical profession and the courts say, no, we're sorry, we're pulling the plug.  The life-support machine is being turned off.  So this gets to the absolute heart of how much freedom does the individual have.  How much decision-making process do the parents have or are our children now owned by the state?

Ingram answers

It's almost like they broke Alphfie's father today.  Because at the beginning of the day he was saying "Come here and see how my son is a hostage of this hospital."

Oh, my God.

I shouldn't be surprised.  This is standard treatment from hospitals.    

He's a hostage of the National Health Service.  What we are doing is not right but by the end of the day he had changed his tune and said "Everybody go back to your lives and . . . I think the hospital kind of . . . he was threatened . . . that 'you're not going to get anything from us unless you tone it down."

 There was a picture yesterday of Alder Hay Hospital in Northwestern England with 20 uniformed police officers standing outside the door of the hospital to stop Little Alfie from being taken out and to stop protestors from getting in.  Using the police!!! to keep the child in the hospital.  How these parents have been through ever single legal process available to them and I'm guessing that now that the life-support machine has been turned off, now that there is no prospect at all of the young boy going to Italy in the end the father has accepted the inevitable.  Whether he was threatened or not, I don't know.  But what I do know is that when I was involved in this Charlie Gard case last year, I turned up at the hospital, in this case Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, and I was told in no uncertain terms by the PR services for the hospital that what I was doing was damaging the reputation of hospital by doing press reports outside where this little boy was dying.  It's classic of the establishment closing ranks, the state being all powerful.  And frankly, what is happening today, what is happening right now, is a form of state-sponsored euthenasia, and I hate it.

Glad at least that this issue is raised at the cost of blood, sweat, tears, and life of their baby son.  That is some cost.  It is a horrible lesson for the parents to learn as to how much power the state exercises over the citizens who fund it through taxes and yet how little they have to show for their contribution to the state.  Parents are okay with sending their children to state-funded public schools or charter schools that use tax-payer funds.  And most people are still fine with allow the ethics of the state medical system to make decisions on the biology of their child.  The parents should have take their baby out months ago.  Did they not see the writing on the wall?
