Depopulation
A recent episode of the Ideas podcast and a related article titled “Can the Great Reset really create a gentler, more equitable capitalism?” goes into detail about Klaus Schwab’s plans for “stakeholder capitalism.”
“In June 2020, the WEF launched its Great Reset initiative, proclaiming ‘now is the time to set the reset button on capitalism’,” writes the CBC.
“The WEF said the Great Reset would be a rare opportunity to build entirely new foundations for economic and social systems while addressing global challenges like income inequality and climate change.”

A Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputy told the publication on Tuesday that Brinton is in a “pre-placement” hold at the county jail and is expected to be housed with the “general population” of the men’s jail next week.
Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation policy states, in part, that “the classification of an arrestee/inmate will depend on whether the arrestee/inmate has male or female genitalia, whether they present a management or security problem, and whether their health and safety can be ensured.”

Read MoreAn elderly Australian woman with dementia is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after being tasered by police at a care home. Officers were called to Yallambee Lodge in Cooma, New South Wales (NSW), after reports that 95-year-old Clare Nowland was carrying a knife. The early morning incident has sparked outcry, over what advocates say was a disproportionate response. The New South Wales police chief has said an investigation is underway. Ms Nowland was found “armed” with a steak knife at the care home – which is in the town of Cooma about 114km (71 miles) south of Canberra – in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Assistant Police Commissioner Peter Cotter told media on Friday.

Read MoreTao and coworkers from Harvard published a study on a “mechanical pill” to directly inject the stomach lining. If this was a sci-fi movie, people would be heading for the exits!
In a nutshell, a pill would be swallowed and the devices would orient to the wall of the stomach or intestine (which would be difficult to control) and then the payload (mRNA) would be injected into the gastrointestinal epithelium and submucosa.
“I can tell you as a doctor, I would be very concerned this could lead to even bigger complications than an injection in the arm,” said Dr. Peter McCullough.

Read MoreThree years ago, in the depths of lockdowns, it became obvious that we desperately needed a new citizen movement with a different focus. Prevailing ideological forms were simply not adapted to the enormous exogenous shock to the system that lockdowns implied. It was unexpected, especially under the guise of public health.
Every essential freedom was under attack. Authoritarian/totalitarian government sweep over the country and world, and nearly the entire intellectual class said: this is fine. And so I suggested a response:
1. Tech Surveillance and Censorship
2. Money and Banking
3. Business Enterprise
4. Regulatory Capture
5. Public Health
6. Educational Institutions
7. The Deep State
8. Crime and War
9. Immigration
10. Shattered Lives
11. The History
12. Force as a Policy Tool

Read MoreIn the belief that he was displaying his finest progressive, feminist credentials, Justin Trudeau announced, during the 2021 federal election, that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will be requested to remove the charitable status of Pregnancy Help Centres if they provide “misinformation”. Trudeau apparently didn’t realize what a kettle of fish he had fallen into with such a policy.
Trudeau’s side kick, Minister of Finance, Chrystia Freeland, was, apparently, just as much in the dark as Trudeau when she stated in the House of Commons on December 2, 2022:
Given this generosity and other tax privileges provided to charities, organizations that choose to register as charities are required to follow a particular set of rules set out in the Income Tax Act. These rules [are] primarily designed to ensure that donated funds are used for charitable purposes, protecting public trust in the charitable sector as a whole. All registered charities are required to ensure that the information that they provide is accurate and evidence-based, and are prohibited from disseminating information that is false or misleading. (Emphasis ours)

Read MoreNearly all over the globe, whether the country is democratic or totalitarian, wealthy or poor, most are grappling with one of the greatest challenges of this century. It is the problem of rapidly declining population. A solution has to be found because some nations are standing on the verge of the inability to continue functioning as a country. Japan, South Korea, and Bulgaria are examples of this, and their populations may well be extinguished before the end of this century.
Many countries are facing this challenge with various innovative policies. For example: China, Russia, Hungary, and other countries are restricting abortion.

Read MoreBackground
This study estimates the burden of COVID-19 on mortality in Germany. It is expected that many people
have died because of the new COVID-19 virus who otherwise would not have died. Estimating the burden of
the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality by the number of officially reported COVID-19-related deaths has
been proven to be difficult due to several reasons. Because of this, a better approach, which has been used in
many studies, is to estimate the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic by calculating the excess mortality for
the pandemic years. An advantage of such an approach is that additional negative impacts of a pandemic on
mortality are covered as well, such as a possible pandemic-induced strain on the healthcare system.
Methods
To calculate the excess mortality in Germany for the pandemic years 2020 to 2022, we compare the reported
number of all-cause deaths (i.e., the number of deaths independently of underlying causes) with the number
of statistically expected all-cause deaths. For this, the state-of-the-art method of actuarial science, based on
population tables, life tables, and longevity trends, is used to estimate the expected number of all-cause
deaths from 2020 to 2022 if there had been no pandemic.
Results
The results show that the observed number of deaths in 2020 was close to the expected number with respect
to the empirical standard deviation; approximately 4,000 excess deaths occurred. By contrast, in 2021, the
observed number of deaths was two empirical standard deviations above the expected number and even
more than four times the empirical standard deviation in 2022. In total, the number of excess deaths in the
year 2021 is about 34,000 and in 2022 about 66,000 deaths, yielding a cumulated 100,000 excess deaths in
both years. The high excess mortality in 2021 and 2022 was mainly due to an increase in deaths in the age
groups between 15 and 79 years and started to accumulate only from April 2021 onward. A similar mortality
pattern was observed for stillbirths with an increase of about 9.4% in the second quarter and 19.4% in the
fourth quarter of the year 2021 compared to previous years.
Conclusions
These findings indicate that something must have happened in spring 2021 that led to a sudden and
sustained increase in mortality, although no such effects on mortality had been observed during the early
COVID-19 pandemic so far. Possible influencing factors are explored in the discussion.

Read MoreWe face a maternal mortality crisis. U.S. maternal mortality rates exceed those in other high-income countries, and the latest evidence shows rising rates and startling disparities based on race and ethnicity.
These trends have roots in systemic racism and gender inequity. Reversing them will take a long-term commitment to redesigning maternal health care to reflect a “continuum approach” to help ensure that health is optimized before pregnancy and that high-quality care is delivered throughout pregnancy, birth, and an extended postpartum period.
