THE COORDINATED ATTACK ON IVERMECTIN IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
Just as we saw with hydroxychloroquine last summer, government alphabet agencies, the medical industrial complex, and their willing accomplices in the media have recently made it clear that there is yet another safe, effective treatment for COVID-19 they wish to torpedo.
It’s the latest naughty word which will get you censored on social media and mocked and belittled by late-night “comedians”: Ivermectin.
The U.S. government, the media, and Big Pharma are all playing important roles in the deadly dystopian disinformation campaign against the drug. Those engaged in this campaign are guilty of crimes against humanity.
FISHING AT DAWN IN HA LONG BAY
Ha Long Bay near Haiphong, Vietman – meaning Descending Dragon – is a World Heritage Site as one of our planet’s great scenic wonders, with thousands of limestone karst rock pinnacles, towers, and islets. The most beautiful time is dawn, peaceful and serene, with small fishing boats of local villagers out for the morning catch. A few days aboard a comfortable junk cruising Ha Long will do wonders for you. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #160 ©photo Jack Wheeler)
A STUNNING MAJOR MEDIA ADMISSION OF THE 2020 ELECTION FRAUD
Arguably the most prestigious newspaper in the English-speaking world is The Times of London. As you can imagine, it is far from rabidly conservative. So it should be a clarion call for the world that this headline story, written by prominent Times columnist Rod Liddle, appeared in last Sunday’s (9/26) Times:
So Trump Was Right: The Election Was Rigged. And Our Next One Will Be Too
Liddle is a flaming liberal and anti-Trump. Yet he writes:COWARDICE FROM THE PENTAGON TO THE WHITE HOUSE
COWARDS ALL
In Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods, there’s a point in the story when things have gone terribly wrong for everyone. The characters respond by disavowing personal responsibility and telling everyone else that it’s “Your Fault.”
That song could have been the background music to the nauseating spectacle in the Senate Tuesday (9/28), when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee about the debacle in Afghanistan.
THE TIBETAN KINGDOM OF LO
This is one of the magical places we experience on our Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. An independent kingdom for 650 years in the remote Mustang region of Nepal, it is one of the last places of traditional Tibetan culture on earth, unchanged for centuries. There are sky-caves here – apartment complexes carved out of vertical cliffs 2,000 years ago – Drok-pa nomads in the high pastures, spectacular sacred ceremonies, all in a mysteriously beautiful setting where the Himalayas meet the Tibetan Plateau. We’ll be here again next April. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #86 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
THE COLLAPSE OF BIDEN’S WORLD
No one’s paying attention, Joe
Despite his vow to “build back better,” China is forcing all of Joe Biden’s moves. The Asian giant’s decision to pursue its own climate policy, consisting largely of more industrialization with green trimmings, effectively kills the Paris accords, so long a part of the progressive platform. How could it not? Beijing produces more emissions than the EU and U.S. combined.
It’s turning out that the fate of large parts of the U.S. economy consequently depends not on regulatory actions in Washington but on bureaucratic decisions in China. The global world that Joe Biden had hoped to inherit is falling apart right under him, like a comedy car shedding its parts as it rattles down the road.
GREENIE ENERGY LEAVES EUROPE IN THE FREEZING COLD
Greenie energy has been vaunted by politicians such as Barack Obama, Zhou Xiden, and virtually every European politician in power as progress itself, the way forward, the wave of the future. Anyone who's got problems with it, as Obama smarmily assured, is "stuck in the past."
Turns out that's nonsense. After going green and shutting down its coal, fossil fuel, fracking, and nuclear energy production, and feeling mighty virtuous for doing it, Europe is now going cold — freezing cold. The region faces a bad winter ahead with energy shortages across the board.
It’s not even October yet, and here’s a headline (9/27: Record-Breaking Cold Sweeps Europe.
Seems green energy can do everything to make a lefty European feel good except produce the actual energy, even as Xiden is doing his darnedest to take America down that cliff.
THE MOTHER LEATHERBACK
The leatherneck sea turtle is the world’s largest turtle, weighing up to 1500 pounds. This female was about half that. They have an enormous range, all the way from the North Sea to South Africa in the Atlantic, spending their lives at sea eating jellyfish – except when a female comes ashore to her hatching beach and bury her clutch of eggs in the sand above high tide.
Dropping several dozen glistening white golfball-size eggs into a depression scooped out with her flippers, she covers them up with sand, and heads back to sea, never to see them again. More than two months later, the born hatchlings dig out of the sand and wiggle their way into the sea, where the lucky ones survive.
I was able to watch this mommy’s entire egg-birthing process at dawn on a remote beach in the West African country of Gabon. It was such a privilege to witness an act of elemental nature by such an extraordinary creature. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #127 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
KEEPING YOUR SANITY XXIX
I just had lunch today with one of the biggest donors to the Republican Party. Actually, that’s the wrong tense for he is no longer, he’s stopped giving them a dime. The more he explained why, the more steamed he got. Here’s what he said.
“Jack, I have completely lost it with these candy-asses. And I don’t mean just those on Capitol Hill. I mean those in governor’s mansions, specifically those in Austin and Phoenix. Yes, I mean Governors Abbott and Ducey. They’ve got to grow the stones for what it takes to shut this Democrat invasion of illegals down.
And this is what it takes: to call out their states’ National Guard and state police to close their borders down with Mexico. Any federal judge’s injunction against this policy, any order whatever from any branch of the federal government to stop this and let the invasion continue is, by order of the governor to be ignored.
This is the absolute critical tipping point, because it will demonstrate the powerlessness of DC to order governors around…
THE SHERMAN TANK THAT’S STILL THERE
The horrifically heroic Battle of Tarawa was fought November 20-23, 1943, with the US Marines determined to take the entrenched Japanese – which they did, both sides suffering ghastly losses. The Marine amphibious force assaulted the Japanese garrison on the small island of Betio in Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands – now the country of Kirimati.
The spearhead of the assault was led by the Marine’s Charlie Company, 1st Corps Tank Battalion and its M4-A2 Shermans on what was codenamed Red Beach. One particular Sherman sank a few yards offshore and lies there to this day. It’s easy to wade out and clamber upon it, as these friends of mine did when I brought them there in 2016.
We hear a lot about “climate change” causing “the oceans to rise.” But as you can see, the sea level at Tarawa has been the same for the past 77 years. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #124 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
