Multiple Truck Convoys Converge in Indiana for Large Rally En Route to DC
Several trucker convoys comprising thousands of vehicles converged in Monrovia, Indiana, and held a rally late on Wednesday before continuing their trip toward Washington to protest against COVID-19 restrictions and mandates.
The People’s Convoy set off from California on Feb. 23. It passed through multiple states including Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri, before arriving in Indiana. The convoy has two more stops to go—Ohio and Maryland—before Washington, where they hope to arrive around March 5.
The group was inspired by trucker convoys in Canada that made global news headlines protesting against COVID-19 restrictions.
It’s hard to quantify exactly how many people are directly participating in The People’s Convoy, not to mention the many thousands more who’ve gathered along the roads and on the overpasses across the country to cheer them on.
New England Truckers Hit the Road to Join the National Convoy
A convoy of New England truckers was met with cheers from crowded overpasses stretching from Maine to Connecticut as they kicked off the Northeast trek of a national truck convoy headed to the Washington D.C. area to protest against COVID-19 mandates and other government directives.
The Northeast convoy began its journey at 7 a.m. on Mar. 2, from Hermon, Maine, a small town in the dead center of the state known for its skiing, fishing, hiking, and camping.
The truckers stopped for a rally at a seasonal roadside motel that abuts a truck stop off I-95 in Kennebunk where a large crowd carrying American flags and bearing signs like “Medical Choice, Medical Freedom” and “Honk 4 Freedom” awaited them.
The crowd was a mix of both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
Russian Foreign Minister Warns: World War III ‘Will Be Nuclear’
Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, warned Wednesday that a third world war would be “nuclear and destructive” amid his country’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The third world war will be nuclear and destructive … President Biden is an experienced man and has previously stated that the only alternative to war are sanctions,” Lavrov said in an interview with Al Jazeera’s Arabic channel, without elaborating, according to Gazeta, other Russian media, and Reuters.
Lavrov also alleged that Russia would be in “real danger” if Ukraine ever acquired nuclear weapons. There is no evidence that Ukraine was attempting to acquire nuclear weapons from the West, and Ukraine gave up its nukes in the early 1990s following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Earlier this week, the specter of nuclear war was raised when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his country’s strategic deterrence forces, which operates some of Russia’s nuclear arsenal, to be on a heightened state of alert. Some analysts remarked that the order was meant to intimidate the United States and NATO so as they don’t get involved in the Ukraine conflict.
Russia, like the United States, possesses thousands of nuclear weapons, but both countries over the years have stressed that nuclear war would lead to the annihilation of both sides, or the military doctrine known as mutually assured destruction.
Earlier this week, Biden was asked whether Americans should be worried about nuclear war. Biden responded, “No.”
“We are assessing President Putin’s directive. And at this time, we see no reason to change our own alert levels,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Monday, adding that the United States will not attempt to escalate the rhetoric after Putin’s comments and order. “We think provocative rhetoric like this regarding nuclear weapons is dangerous, adds to the risk of miscalculation, should be avoided, and we will not indulge in it,” she added.
Biden Says US Is Open to Banning Russian Oil Imports
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he is open to banning Russian oil imports to penalize Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Are you considering banning Russian oil imports?” a reporter asked Biden on the White House lawn on Wednesday morning. “Nothing is off the table,” the president said.
Following the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States and European Union hammered Russia, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and top Russian banks with sanctions, while a number of private corporations, shipping firms, sporting leagues, and tech companies said they would refuse to do business in Russia.
Critics of the Biden administration’s policies have said that the United States should restart the Keystone XL pipeline construction and again renew drilling leases to ramp up domestic oil production, instead of relying on Russian oil. Currently, the United States obtains much of its crude oil from Canada, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia, but it still imported about 3 percent of its crude oil from Russia in 2021, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing the Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston.
Biden also said Russia is targeting civilians in Ukraine but declined to say whether any war crimes were committed.
“It’s clear they are” targeting civilians, Biden told reporters in Washington. But when asked about the prospect of war crimes, he said, “We are following it very closely. It’s too early to say that.”
Russian Default ‘Extremely Likely’ as International Pressure Escalates
The odds of Russia defaulting on its external debts are increasing the longer the war in Ukraine lasts, a broad array of organizations and analysts have said.
With the international community applying pressure on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, the national economy is poised to contract double digits, prompting the Kremlin to repeatedly employ extraordinary measures to cushion the blows from the economic fallout.
Over the next month, the Russian government has more than $700 million worth of bonds to cover. Despite its $630 billion war chest, the bombardment of sanctions and restrictions that are freezing many of its assets could affect Moscow’s ability to make payments.
The Central Bank of Russia announced on March 1 that it would temporarily ban coupon payments to foreign owners of ruble bonds, also known as OFZs.
In an email obtained by Bloomberg, officials transmitted instructions to depositaries and registries that local security sales by foreigners would be suspended. This could leave foreign investors with approximately $29 billion in debt that they wouldn’t be able to collect income on holdings.
Russia takes first major Ukraine city as defensive weapons pour in from Western allies
Russia’s military is claiming to have seized Kherson as the Black Sea port city of Odesa — Ukraine’s third largest — could come under attack by President Vladimir Putin’s army as early as Thursday, U.S. officials tell Fox News.
Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich remains behind bars until at least March 7, marking 19 days in custody, as the judge overhearing her bail review on March 2 said the next hearing session would be the following week.
Among the arguments raised by Lich’s defence is that the judge who denied her bail was biased against her cause due to the judge’s former ties to the governing Liberal Party, a point of debate among legal experts.
Drew Barnes, an independent Alberta MLA in Lich’s hometown riding for Cypress-Medicine Hat, has called Lich a “political prisoner” and asked for her release.
“She freely admits to taking part in non-violent civil disobedience in her role with the Freedom Convoy to Ottawa. She faces mischief charges, and nothing more,” he said in a statement on Feb. 27.
“She has been portrayed in the media as a violent criminal, a foreign operative, and an anarchist. Nothing could be further from the truth. She is a former energy worker of Metis heritage, a mother, and grandmother, and sometimes plays guitar in a local band.”
Lich, one of the organizers who spearheaded efforts to encourage truckers to join the protest in Ottawa against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions, was arrested on Feb. 17 and charged with counselling to commit mischief.
A day later, police escalated their efforts to remove protesters from the nation’s capital, leading to 196 arrests and 115 vehicles towed by the morning of Feb. 21.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the protest an “illegal occupation” after he invoked the Emergencies Act to quash the demonstration on Feb. 14.
A series of emails obtained by Radio-Canada revealed that Quebec’s former public health director was looking for scientific explanations to justify imposing a curfew mere hours before the province announced on Dec. 30, 2021, that it would enforce the measure on New Year’s Eve.
It was the second curfew in Quebec since the pandemic began.
In an email time-stamped at 10:31 a.m. on Dec. 30, 2021, the assistant to Dr. Horacio Arruda wrote to Quebec’s public health institute and Marie-France Raynault, a senior strategic medical adviser for the province’s public health, asking them to come up with an “argument” that could help the government justify the need for a second curfew provincewide at a press conference later that day, reported Radio-Canada on March 2.
“Horacio would like you and your teams (!) to provide him with an argument in relation to the curfew in anticipation of questions from journalists at the 5 p.m. press conference this evening,” Renée Levaque wrote.
“Dr. Arruda wants to know two things: 1) What are the studies? 2) What is being done elsewhere?”
He wanted it all “in a tight argument,” she added.
Éric Litvak, vice-president of scientific affairs at the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ), replied about four hours later saying it was not possible.
“On the INSPQ side, we don’t have an existing analysis that specifically addresses the curfew and we are unfortunately unable to produce one today with such short notice,” he wrote—less than three hours before the press conference commenced.
Litvak, however, did send over some studies that he had used to back his suggestion for the first curfew, imposed on Jan. 9, 2021.
The province’s health ministry shared four of those studies in a press release issued that same evening: two from France, one from Ontario, and another one from Jordan, which examined the effects of curfew in those locations.
“Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government’s decisions have been largely based on the opinions of experts,” the press release said.
On Jan. 10, Arruda tendered his resignation, citing a “certain erosion” in public support for health measures.

Three Republicans Vote Against Resolution that Could Call for American Troops in Russia Conflict
Three House Republicans voted against a resolution on Wednesday that conservatives argued was so broad it could call to commit American troops to the conflict and for the United States to be in conflict with Russia “forever.”
The House overwhelmingly passed H. Res. 956, 426 to 3. Only three Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) voted against it.

New Mexico ‘Downwinders’ Still Seeking Justice 77 Years After First Atomic Bomb Test
Ask Bernice Gutierrez of Albuquerque, New Mexico, how old she is and she’ll bluntly tell you, “I’m as old as the bomb.”
Born just eight days before the United States detonated the first atomic bomb at the Trinity test site on July 16, 1945, Gutierrez has lived to see the terrible health effects of nuclear fallout radiation on her family.
“There’s no timeframe for when you get cancer,” she told The Epoch Times.
It started with her maternal great-grandfather, who was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which proved to be fatal.
“My Mom had three types of cancer. She had skin, thyroid, and breast cancer. My one brother had thyroid cancer. His daughter had thyroid cancer. Another brother had prostate cancer,” Gutierrez, 76, said.

Florida Governor Announces State Aid to Tornado Victims
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on March 1 he is making $7.1 million available to assist the victims of the Southwest Florida tornadoes after the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied aid.
DeSantis’ government, together with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and local community action agencies in Lee and Charlotte counties, is allocating “funding and resources to assist income-qualified” people and families affected by the tornadoes that hit on Jan. 16.
A category 1 tornado touched down in Charlotte County and a category 2 tornado hit Lee County.
“Victims of these tornadoes in Southwest Florida deserve assistance to kickstart their recovery process,” the governor said in a March 1 statement.
“Despite the Biden administration’s failure to help Floridians in need, I will continue working with state agencies to find ways that we can assist our residents who have been devastated by these tornadoes.”
On Jan. 24, the state asked the federal government for aid in all programs under Individual Assistance. This includes funds for individuals and households, disaster case management, crisis counseling, legal services, and disaster unemployment assistance.
Florida Lawmakers Let Bills to Protect Doctors’ Freedom of Speech Die
For months, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has spoken publicly about his hope lawmakers in his state would create a law protecting doctors who want to prescribe what they think is best for patients, even if it goes against current CDC and NIH guidelines for the treatment of COVID-19.
Action he took on Feb. 24 offers protection from lawsuits under new Florida Department of Health guidelines giving health care providers “flexibility to treat patients with off-label prescriptions if they determine it could help the patient, and it is something the patient would like to try.”
But days after that announcement, it seemed there was no hope for the passage of related bills DeSantis had urged lawmakers to pass to protect doctors’ freedom of speech.
The now-stalled bills would have protected doctors from penalties for speaking with patients, or publicly, about treatments that go against the official recommendations of government authorities.
Many doctors told The Epoch Times the measure was needed because throughout the pandemic they’ve faced backlash—including investigations leading to the possible stripping of their medical licenses—for sharing opinions on vaccines, the wearing of masks, or for advocating for off-label use of medications, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
Though the regular legislative session comes to an end on March 11, DeSantis still appeared hopeful as late as Feb. 25, when he tweeted a thank you to bill sponsors “for protecting the free speech of doctors and bucking the politicized medical establishment. Looking forward to these bills hitting my desk.”
Yet, after considering them in committees, lawmakers in both the Florida House and Senate let the measures die without coming up for a full vote.
Insiders familiar with the process say that it’s too late now to get the bills passed because committee work at the Florida Capitol is over.
NYS Republicans Nominate Zeldin and Esposito for Gubernatorial Ticket
New York—The New York state Republican Party nominated Congressman Lee Zeldin for governor and Alison Esposito for lieutenant governor on March 1, the second day of its two-day convention at the Garden City Hotel on Long Island.
Zeldin was the first nominee to address the issue of the 4,000 employees of the City of New York who were terminated for not getting vaccinated.
“I believe that every single one of them should get their jobs back with back pay,” he said in his acceptance speech.
He attacked Democrat-induced problems such as critical race theory (CRT), increased crime due to cashless bail, high taxes, and overregulation, each followed by thunderous applause.
Zeldin received the first of many laughs when he said, “You would think between this microphone and the cameras in the back Schumer would have been here by now,” referring to Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democrat the GOP is looking to unseat with Joe Pinion.
There was a lot of talk of Zeldin’s and Esposito’s service before politics. Zeldin was a captain in the US Army during the Iraq War and Esposito was a deputy inspector in the NYPD. Zeldin remains a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves.

Biden seeks $10B for aid to Ukraine, $22.5B for coronavirus
The Biden administration is seeking another $10 billion to help protect Ukraine against the Russian invasion and an additional $22.5 billion to cover coronavirus pandemic-related expenses, two major additions to budget talks already underway.
The acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, Shalanda Young, laid out the need for the supplemental funding in a Thursday blog post. The requests would be additions to a planned budget agreement that Congress is trying to finish before a March 11 deadline.
Young said in the blog post that the money was urgently needed. The $10 billion to Ukraine would be a rapid escalation of the $1.4 billion provided by the United States since 2021, a reflection of the crisis caused by the Russian offensive that began last month. Young said the money would cover “additional humanitarian, security, and economic assistance in Ukraine and the neighboring region in the coming days and weeks.”
Last week, Biden administration officials told congressional aides that their requests would include $3.5 billion for the Pentagon and $2.9 billion for humanitarian aid as Russia’s invasion has caused more than a million Ukrainian refugees to flee their country.
The $22.5 billion tied to the coronavirus would pay for testing, treatments and vaccines as well as investments in research and efforts to increase vaccinations worldwide. There had been expectations that the request was going to be for as much as $30 billion, which comes after lawmakers and the Biden and Trump administrations committed a combined $5.8 trillion over multiple years on the pandemic, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
The federal government spent $6.8 trillion last fiscal year, a reflection of the emergency measures tied to the coronavirus that included President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal budget was about $4.4 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Why Your Son Should Reconsider College
So why is trade school looking like an increasingly smart idea for young men like my friend to choose over college? Several possibilities come to mind.
For starters, trade school offers various securities, the most obvious being financial. If my young friend were to graduate from Dunwoody today, he would likely start a job with an average salary of almost $54,000. That average has risen by $5,000 in the last year alone. Contrast this with the average starting salary for a Minnesota college graduate. That number stands at just over $37,000 according to ZipRecruiter.
Perhaps the reason for such a higher average salary is the increasing demand for those who labor with their hands. The Baby Boomer generation has long filled the electrician, plumber, welder, and other traditional trade jobs, but with their accelerating retirement comes a dearth of blue-collar workers. “For every one person that enters the trades, five retire,” Industrial Safety & Hygiene News reported in 2019. That statistic promises a lot of job security to young people just starting out.
Those who enter trade school also have a good shot at an independent life. Depending on the trade they learn, graduates may easily be able to start their own company. Being your own boss these days means avoiding such things as vaccine mandates threatened for big businesses. It also means you’re less likely to be canceled in our crazed, politically correct world of white-collar jobs where diversity and inclusion seminars are standard fare and where holding a door for a woman could get you labeled a sexist.
Trade school also gives students a good foundation for life. Because it often takes less time to complete than traditional college, and because hard skills are in such demand, students who choose trade school can jump into the workforce at a young age, accumulate reasonable savings, and even choose to attend college a while down the road, when their few extra years of maturity and financial stability will help them succeed.
Lastly, there’s another advantage to trade school that many prefer not to mention: it’s a form of higher education monopolized by males. This is unpopular because today’s culture is all about gender balance. Females are disadvantaged and we must give women extra help to break through the glass ceiling, the thinking goes.
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Google’s New Tech Reads Body Language – Without Cameras
What if your computer decided not to blare out a notification jingle because it noticed you weren’t sitting at your desk? What if your TV saw you leave the couch to answer the front door and paused Netflix automatically, then resumed playback when you sat back down? What if our computers took more social cues from our movements and learned to be more considerate companions?
It sounds futuristic and perhaps more than a little invasive—a computer watching your every move? But it feels less creepy once you learn that these technologies don’t have to rely on a camera to see where you are and what you’re doing. Instead, they use radar. Google’s Advanced Technology and Products division—better known as ATAP, the department behind oddball projects such as a touch-sensitive denim jacket—has spent the past year exploring how computers can use radar to understand our needs or intentions and then react to us appropriately.
This is not the first time we’ve seen Google use radar to provide its gadgets with spatial awareness. In 2015, Google unveiled Soli, a sensor that can use radar’s electromagnetic waves to pick up precise gestures and movements. It was first seen in the Google Pixel 4‘s ability to detect simple hand gestures so the user could snooze alarms or pause music without having to physically touch the smartphone. More recently, radar sensors were embedded inside the second-generation Nest Hub smart display to detect the movement and breathing patterns of the person sleeping next to it. The device was then able to track the person’s sleep without requiring them to strap on a smartwatch.
The same Soli sensor is being used in this new round of research, but instead of using the sensor input to directly control a computer, ATAP is instead using the sensor data to enable computers to recognize our everyday movements and make new kinds of choices.
“We believe as technology becomes more present in our life, it’s fair to start asking technology itself to take a few more cues from us,” says Leonardo Giusti, head of design at ATAP. In the same way your mom might remind you to grab an umbrella before you head out the door, perhaps your thermostat can relay the same message as you walk past and glance at it—or your TV can lower the volume if it detects you’ve fallen asleep on the couch.
COVID RELATED NEWS
2 Million Children Must Be Jabbed to Prevent 1 ICU Admission
A cost-benefit analysis shows the COVID jab increases children’s risk of dying from COVID infection. Children under 18 are also 51 times more likely to die from the jab than they are to die from COVID infection if not vaccinated
Four million doses must be administered to children, 5 to 11 years of age, to prevent a single ICU admission in this age group. Assuming two doses per child, that means 2 million children must risk potentially serious side effects to prevent a single child from requiring intensive care due to COVID-19
The Israeli Ministry of Health recently surveyed people who had received a third booster to determine the actual rate of side effects. Of the 2,068 interviewed individuals, 0.3% required hospitalization for an adverse event; three times more women than men (6.9% versus 2.1%) experienced neurological problems; 9.6% of women under the age of 54 experienced menstrual irregularities; 26.4% of those with preexisting anxiety disorder or depression experienced a worsening of their symptoms, as did 24.2% of those with preexisting autoimmune disorders
German health insurance data also show an alarming trend. After analyzing the medical data of 10.9 million insured individuals, one large health insurance company concluded that 400,000 doctors’ visits could be realistically attributed to jab side effects. Extrapolated to the total population of Germany, the total number of jab side effects requiring medical care would be 3 million, about 1,000% higher than admitted by the German Ministry of Health

US Unprecedented Excess Death Toll Keeps Climbing
More than 1 million excess deaths have been recorded since the COVID-19 pandemic began nearly two years ago
These deaths are not all due to COVID-19, as higher numbers of deaths from heart disease, high blood pressure, dementia and other illnesses occurred during the pandemic
In separate research, a 22.9% increase in all-cause mortality was reported from March 1, 2020, to January 2, 2021, and an increase in death rates from non-COVID-19 diseases — including heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s — was noted
As of January 27, 2022, U.S. excess mortality for 2021 was about 16%, compared to 13.6% in 2020; that is, excess mortality increased in 2021 — the year COVID-19 shots became prevalent
Former BlackRock portfolio manager Edward Dowd has documented a spike in mortality among younger, working-age individuals that coincided with vaccine mandates
The Truth Is Coming Out About COVID Deaths
Hospitals receive payments for testing every patient for COVID, every COVID diagnosis and every ‘COVID death,’ as well as any time they use remdesivir and mechanical ventilation.
Early on in the COVID pandemic, people suspected that the deaths attributed to the infection were exaggerated. There was plenty of evidence for this. For starters, hospitals were instructed and incentivized to mark any patient who had a positive COVID test and subsequently died within a certain time period as a COVID death.
At the same time, we knew that the PCR test was unreliable, producing inordinate amounts of false positives. Now, the truth is finally starting to come out and, as suspected, the actual death toll is vastly lower than we were led to believe.
CDC No Longer Recommends Universal Contact Tracing, Case Investigation
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is no longer recommending universal COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing, instead saying health departments should focus those efforts on specific high-risk settings.
The Feb. 28 update to the CDC guidance comes nearly two years after Robert Redfield, the agency’s previous director, told Congress that the United States needed as many as 100,000 people working as contact tracers to track the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
According to CDC, a contact tracer was expected to quickly locate and speak with individuals who tested positive for the virus, find out who they have recently been in close contact with, and then notify those people about their exposure and encourage them to enter a 14-day quarantine to prevent further transmission.
The CDC now advises that state and local health departments should concentrate on “high-risk congregate settings,” such as long-term care facilities, jails and prisons, and homeless shelters. The updated guidance also states that case investigations should focus on cases and close contacts with exposures in the previous five days for those settings and groups at increased risk, such as those with underlying health conditions, pregnant women, and older adults.
“The updated guidance is in response to changes in the nature of the pandemic and the increasing availability of new tools to prevent transmission and mitigate illness,” CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund said on March 1, The New York Times reported.
FDA Warns of Possible False Results From Some COVID-19 Tests
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday said that three rapid COVID-19 tests should not be used because of the potential for producing false results.
The FDA told people to stop using the Celltrion DiaTrust COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test, the SD Biosensor Inc. STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag Home Test, and the Flowflex SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (Self-Testing).
“The FDA is concerned about the risk of false results when using” those tests, according to the agency. These tests have “not been authorized, cleared or approved by the FDA for distribution or use in the United States,” the agency added.
All three tests work via nasal swab, the agency said. It recommended that health care providers have patients submit to new testing if they’ve used any of the three tests fewer than two weeks ago.
