Police State: FBI Quietly Created New Category of Extremism Ahead of 2024 Election to Include Trump-MAGA Supporters | 4 Oct 2023 | As the 2024 election season heats up, the FBI has created a new terrorism category to include Trump supporters.

Hillary Clinton Calls for ‘Formal Deprogramming’ of MAGA ‘Cult Members’ | 5 Oct 2023 | Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Thursday on CNN’s Primetime she believed there needed to be a “formal deprogramming of the cult members” who support former President Donald Trump. Clinton said, “You saw the number of Republicans who voted along with Democrats to keep the government open, so there’s clearly a common sense, sane part of the Republican caucus in the House…I mean, we had very strong partisans in both parties in the past and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things, gun control, and climate change, and the economy, and taxes. But there wasn’t this little tail of extremism wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today. And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He’s only in it for himself. He’s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions. When do they break with him? You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members. But something needs to happen.”

Vaccine and Mask Mandate Issued in California County –‘In a sense, we’re going back to the pre-COVID days,’ says San Luis Obispo County’s chief health officer Dr. Penny Borenstein. | 4 Oct 2023 | A county in California issued a mask and vaccine mandate several days ago, forcing all health care workers to get yearly vaccines or wear a mask at work.

CDC repeatedly misrepresents mask research, mask mandates worsen depression: studies –Agency claims masks work even when masked group has higher infection rate. | 6 Oct 2023 | Public health agencies that spent the past three-and-a-half years promoting their preferred COVID-19 interventions as “The Science,” above the realm of policy tradeoffs, are finally facing sustained skepticism from top American research journals as well as the public. The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which is widely cited but not externally peer-reviewed, serially exaggerated the evidence for mask-wearing among 77 such outside studies it published, according to an independent review by epidemiologists at the University of California San Francisco, the system’s health sciences campus. Just 14% of MMWR studies reached statistical significance and 30% actually studied mask effectiveness. Yet three-quarters concluded that masks were effective, authors Tracy Beth Hoeg, Alyson Haslam and Vinay Prasad wrote in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Medicine, the official journal of a consortium of five associations in academic internal medicine.
