New Alberta Premier Refuses To Associate With World Economic Forum
Recently noted as an opponent of vaccine and mask mandates, new Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is breaking previously established ties with the World Economic Forum, which has been deeply involved in a “health consulting agreement” revolving around the province’s covid response.
“I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over political leaders,” Smith said at a news conference Monday after her new cabinet was sworn in. “That is offensive … the people who should be directing government are the people who vote for them.”
The United Conservative Party premier said she is in lockstep with federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who has stated he and his caucus will having nothing to do with the World Economic Forum. Earlier this month, on her first day as premier, Smith stated that people not vaccinated against covid are the most discriminated group she has seen in her lifetime.
In response, the Canadian mainstream media is pursuing a thorough hatchet campaign against Smith, consistently referring to all opposition to the WEF as being based in “conspiracy theory.” As they say, if you want to know who is really in power, all you have to do is find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
After two years of authoritarian lockdowns and attempts to enforce vaccine passports in Canada, Alberta was one of the only regions in the country that asserted political opposition to executive dictates. This helped to support the anti-passport protests by truckers and other Canadians, and led to Justin Trudeau using provisions for terrorism to confiscate donations to the movement. Alberta’s covid averages in terms of infections and deaths are no worse than provinces with strict mandates, proving once again that the mandates achieved nothing in terms of safety, but everything in terms of control.
The Canadian Press and other media outlets claim that criticism of the WEF is built on “online conspiracy accusations, unproven and debunked, that the forum is fronting a global cabal of string-pullers exploiting the pandemic to dismantle capitalism and introduce damaging socialist systems and social control measures, such as forcing people to take vaccines with tracking chips.”
Every “conspiracy” noted in that statement is true – none of them have been “debunked” except perhaps the “tracking chip” claim, which is unnecessary because the WEF was already encouraging governments to use cell phone tracking apps to monitor the vaccine status and movements of their respective populations. Many of these apps were approved by the CDC in the US, and in countries like China they are mandatory.
Now It’s UK: Why Are Labs Racing To See Who Can Create The Most Deadly Virus?
A potentially deadly new strain of COVID has been created in a University lab in London, according to a report.
The Daily Mail reports that researchers at Imperial College London have hybridised the original Wuhan strain of the disease with both the Omicron or Delta variants separately.
The College is yet to reveal how effective the strain they have created is, and has denied that the work constitutes gain of function, the process now widely believed to have been responsible for the original strain in Wuhan.
Molecular biology expert Dr. Richard Ebright warned that the new mutant strain, which was injected into hamsters in London, “is insanity, both in terms of the redundancy and waste,” and that it has zero “foreseeable practical applications.”
UN Wants $4-$6 Trillion To Prop Up Its Failing Global Warming Program
Scaremongering Continues
The Guardian reports UN finds ‘no credible pathway to 1.5C in place’
The UN environment report analysed the gap between the CO2 cuts pledged by countries and the cuts needed to limit any rise in global temperature to 1.5C, the internationally agreed target. Progress has been “woefully inadequate” it concluded.
Current pledges for action by 2030, if delivered in full, would mean a rise in global heating of about 2.5C and catastrophic extreme weather around the world. A rise of 1C to date has caused climate disasters in countries from Pakistan to Puerto Rico.
If the long-term pledges by countries to hit net zero emissions by 2050 were delivered, global temperature would rise by 1.8C. But the glacial pace of action means meeting even this temperature limit was not credible, the UN report said.
A study published this week found “large consensus” across all published research that new oil and gas fields are “incompatible” with the 1.5C target.
US accuses North Korea of trying to hide shipments of ammunition to Russia
The US is accusing North Korea of secretly supplying Russia with artillery shells for the Ukraine war by concealing where they are being transported to, according to newly declassified intelligence.
US officials believe that the surreptitious North Korean shipments – along with drones and other weaponry that Russia has acquired from Iran – are further evidence that even Moscow’s conventional artillery arsenals have dwindled during eight months of combat. North Korea is trying to hide the shipments by making it appear as if the ammunition is being sent to countries in the Middle East or North Africa, the intelligence says.
The recent intelligence comes about two months after the US intelligence community said that it believed Russia was in the process of buying millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea for use on the battlefield, CNN and other outlets reported at the time.
Ukraine grain export deal back on as Russia resumes participation
Russia said on Wednesday it would resume its participation in a deal freeing up grain exports from war-torn Ukraine, reversing a move that world leaders had said threatened to exacerbate global hunger.
Moscow announced the sudden reversal after Turkey and the United Nations helped keep Ukrainian grain flowing for several days without Russian participation in inspections.
The Russian defence ministry justified the change by saying it had received guarantees from Kyiv not to use the Black Sea grain corridor for military operations against Russia. Kyiv did not immediately comment on that, but has denied in the past that it used the agreed shipping corridor as cover for attacks.
‘Destroy Russia Together’: Jim Inhofe Calls for Even More Aid to Ukraine
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, on Tuesday called for even more aid to Ukraine as he urges the West to “Destroy Russia Together.”
“Many of our @NATO allies on the front lines with Russia give more aid to Ukraine pound-for-pound than the U.S. That’s why we need to ramp up industrial capacity to refill our own weapons stocks, sell to allies to refill their own and sustain Ukraine victories,” Inhofe wrote on Tuesday.
For Ukrainians, the situation is clear. Vladimir Putin‘s torture of their country through invasion started eight years ago when ‘little green men’ suddenly began blocking roads, building checkpoints and seizing government buildings in Crimea.
These were Putin’s special forces, in unmarked uniforms and vehicles, who grabbed the precious peninsula for the Kremlin – and began a war that exploded into bloodshed, carnage and devastation across their land this year.
‘Everything started with Crimea and will end with it,’ declared President Volodymyr Zelensky two months ago. ‘Crimea stands with Ukraine and is waiting for us to return. I want you all to know, we will definitely be back.’

German Energy Company Takes Down Windmills To Make Room For Coal Mining
President Joe Biden isn’t the only world leader running his country into a dangerous energy crisis for millions who will soon face a brutal winter.
The energy crisis is global, and Germany made headlines this week as German coal mine Garzweiler, operated by energy company RWE, announced that it has already demolished several wind turbines at a nearby wind farm, with plans to demolish several more by next year.
The company admitted that the plan sounds “paradoxical,” given that one energy source is being traded for another, but it doesn’t take a scientist to see exactly why RWE is making the move.
Wind turbines are giant, stupid, dangerous, endangered bird-slaughtering, oil-leaking wastes of money in most parts of the world, at least at this stage of technological development. Perhaps that changes down the road, but for now, coal-powered energy is king, and no matter how much they hate it, the progressive left climate warriors, even in Germany, know it’s true.
Fox Business explains:
One of the wind farm’s eight wind turbines was dismantled last week, and two others are expected to be taken down next year. The remaining five turbines will be dismantled by the end of 2023, said a spokesperson for the company that builds and runs the wind farm.
The report detailed specifics regarding expanding coal mining operations:
The expansion comes in tandem with a plan to temporarily return three of RWE’s lignite-fired coal units to the market, a decision that was approved by Germany’s cabinet. The units were previously on standby.
“The three lignite units each have a capacity of 300 megawatts (MW). With their deployment, they contribute to strengthening the security of supply in Germany during the energy crisis and to saving natural gas in electricity generation,” RWE said in September.
“Originally, it was planned that the three reserve power plant units affected would be permanently shut down on September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2023, respectively,” RWE added.
The move to expand the coal mining operations was approved by Germany’s cabinet.

Report: Illinois Man Threatened to Kill GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Darren Bailey and His Family
Twenty-one-year-old Scott Lennox of Illinois left a depraved voicemail last week for Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey in which he threatened to “skin” Bailey “alive” and “feed his f****ng family to him,” according to state prosecutors.
Lennox had a “heated argument” with his friends at a Chicago bar last Friday over pro-Bailey advertisements that made him “angry,” which led to the threatening voicemail, prosecutors allege.
A staffer for Democrat Trudy Busch Valentine’s Missouri U.S. Senate campaign has been fired after being arrested on a sexual misconduct allegation, Breitbart News has learned.

Republicans Score Big Win in Race for Key Senate Seat After Libertarian Candidate Exits
Libertarian Senate candidate Marc Victor has dropped out of the Arizona race and endorsed GOP challenger Blake Masters against incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.).
Polls have shown that the race between Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, and the former President Donald Trump-endorsed Masters is close with just a week to go before the midterm elections.
“I found Blake to be generally supportive of the Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement,” Victor said in a statement on Tuesday confirming he is dropping out of the race. “Likewise, we found ourselves in general agreement about how to improve America and advance the cause of freedom and peace. After that discussion, I believe it is in the best interests of freedom and peace to withdraw my candidacy and enthusiastically support Blake Masters for United States Senate. I intend to assist in any way reasonably possible to elect Blake.”

Polls of Midterm Voters Are Prone to ‘Bandwagon Effect,’ Are Unreliable: Experts
News Analysis
Polls of prospective voters, which have been widely cited throughout the 2022 midterm races, are based on flawed methodology, and their use as a tool to achieve the outcome desired by the mainstream media has been conspicuous during this election cycle, political strategists and polling experts have told The Epoch Times.
Whatever limited use polls may have, one of their likely consequences, in the current politicized environment, is the “bandwagon effect.” This describes a phenomenon where the media misuse polls to demoralize political opponents and their supporters and to suggest to undecided voters that they are out of step with majoritarian and mainstream sentiment if they do not get on board with the candidate or candidates whom the polls favor, one expert said. Hence polls favoring candidates whom the media want to win become self-fulfilling prophecies.
David DePape, the suspect in the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, has embraced left-wing and right-wing conspiracy theories, according to the lawyer who has been in touch with DePape’s former girlfriend.
The former girlfriend, Oxane “Gypsy” Taub, is herself in a women’s prison for 20 crimes involving a teen boy.
Taub’s attorney, Christopher Dobbins, told The Epoch Times on Nov. 2 that based on his conversations with Taub the theories about DePape being a right-wing extremist seem to be off base.
Dobbins thinks DePape tends to believe conspiracy theories in general, whether they’re left-wing or right-wing.
EXCLUSIVE: Attack on Paul Pelosi Won’t Have ‘Any Political Effect That Matters’: Newt Gingrich
The attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband would not take attention away from voters who are more focused on kitchen table issues, according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
“The reality is for most Americans, the price of food the price of gasoline, the price of heating oil, the crime level in their city, the number of illegal immigrants coming in—there are lots of things going on that affect Americans personally every day,” Gingrich, a contributor to The Epoch Times, said in an interview.
“That, I think, has much more impact on the election,” he said.
David DePape, 42, allegedly broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco on Oct. 28 as part of an attempt to kidnap the House speaker, and assaulted Paul Pelosi, according to prosecutors. Local police who responded to a 911 call made by Paul Pelosi witnessed the two men both holding onto one hammer. DePape then pulled the hammer and used it to strike Paul Pelosi’s head, who fell to the ground, an FBI affidavit said. He is facing a slew of federal and state charges, including assault and attempted murder.

What would people use for money in a genuine free market? A lot of people answer the question in this way. We really don’t know the answer for sure. It would be up to the people who live in that society. Because in a genuine free market, there would be no state at all, there would be no money mandated by the state. People would compete to establish the money they liked best. Maybe people would settle on a gold or silver standard, as they had done in the past. But maybe they wouldn’t. They might prefer electronic currency like bitcoin. Or maybe there would be all sorts of different monies, with no clear winner.
Murray Rothbard doesn’t agree with this. He was aware of competitive money, because F.A. Hayek had suggested it. People have the right to offer competing monies, as Hayek advocated. But Murray thought they would be unlikely to do this. The competition had already taken place, and precious metals were the winner. Why go through the same process again? As Murray explains in his great article, “The Case for a Genuine Gold Dollar”:
“In recent years an increasing number of economists have understandably become disillusioned by the inflationary record of fiat currencies. They have therefore concluded that leaving the government and its central bank power to fine tune the money supply, but abjuring them to use that power wisely in accordance with various rules, is simply leaving the fox in charge of the proverbial henhouse. They have come to the conclusion that only radical measures can remedy the problem, in essence the problem of the inherent tendency of government to inflate a money supply that it monopolizes and creates. That remedy is no less than the strict separation of money and its supply from the state.
Southwest Employees Rattled by Big Brother-Style Policies
Southwest Airlines and a labor union seem to have learned little from the case of pro-life flight attendant Charlene Carter, several longtime employees told The Epoch Times.
On July 14, a federal jury unanimously awarded Carter more than $5 million, declaring that Southwest illegally fired her in 2017 for “protected speech”—and that her union helped get her fired instead of protecting her.
After Carter used Facebook to express religious views on abortion and criticize the flight attendants’ union, a union official reported her posts to Southwest, leading to her dismissal.
Now, three months after jurors found that Southwest and the union violated Carter’s rights, recent events have struck a raw nerve among her former coworkers and union members.
The emerging controversy represents the nation’s latest example of an employer clashing with employees over the privacy of electronic communications—especially during off-duty hours.

UK Report: Police Use Of Live Facial Recognition Unlawful And Unethical
Police should be banned from using live facial recognition technology in all public spaces because they are breaking ethical standards and human rights laws, a study has concluded.
LFR involves linking cameras to databases containing photos of people. Images from the cameras can then be checked against those photos to see if they match.
British police have experimented with the technology, believing it can help combat crime and terrorism. But in some cases, courts have found against the way police have used LFR, and how they have dealt with infringements of the privacy rights of people walking in the streets where the technology has been used. There are also concerns about racial bias.

Monsanto to Pay $275 Million for Children’s Brain Damage
A Washington court recently awarded 13 adults and children $275 million for neurological damage caused by PCBs produced by Monsanto; in total there are 200 students, parents and teachers filing suit for physical damage
Before Monsanto voluntarily stopped using them in 1977, there were an estimated 1.5 billion pounds of PCBs produced and used; exposure has also been linked to diabetes, liver toxicity, cancer and deficits in neurological and immune system function
The herbicide Roundup is Monsanto’s flagship product, the active ingredient in which is glyphosate. The industrial chemical changes the soil microbiome by killing beneficial bacteria and promoting soil pathogens
The altered soil microbiome negatively impacts the nutrient value of crops. Glyphosate in plants can alter the human gut microbiome, and increases in use are well correlated with an increase in breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer and myeloid leukemia
Zinc Deficiency Linked With Gluten Sensitivity
Studies show that while several micronutrients were low in each patient newly diagnosed with celiac disease, the zinc deficiency eclipsed them all and, among 309 people, 59.4% of the patients were found to be zinc deficient
Classic symptoms of gluten sensitivity often include diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, weight loss and other problems
Celiac disease, also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is the result of an immune reaction that takes place when genetically susceptible people ingest gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye
Gluten sensitivity attacks the mucosa in your gut, which leads to inflammation. Over time, the inflammation wears away tiny nodules called villi in the small intestine’s lining, a condition known as villous atrophy
At the time people are diagnosed with celiac disease, a micronutrient assessment, particularly on zinc, vitamin D, iron, folate, vitamin B12 and copper should take place, as those seem to go hand in hand with the condition
Ultra Processed foods typically have five or more ingredients, many of which are not commonly used in home kitchens. This aptly describes the Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger, including fake blood processed from genetically engineered yeast to mimic the taste and texture of real beef
Although the soy-like hemoglobin used in the Impossible Burger is classified as generally recognized as safe, no tests have been done by independent labs on the product’s safety. However, tests on lab rats altered the animals’ blood chemistry; the company did not follow up on the results
The parent companies for Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger commissioned studies to assess the environmental impact of production against typical CAFO beef production. Not surprisingly, they found their product had a lower impact. But it’s not nearly as low as the beef production at White Oaks Pastures, which uses regenerative farming practices to produce natural beef products

Study shows eating prunes daily can help prevent bone loss
People often eat prunes to boost their digestive health, but a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that consuming a handful of prunes a day may also help prevent bone loss when you are older.
Researchers from Penn State University reported that women in their 60s who consumed prunes had significantly less bone loss in their hips in a year compared to those who didn’t eat the dried fruits. This suggests that prunes can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is a key driver of bone loss.
Older women are at higher risk of weakened bones because menopause can raise inflammation levels in the body. At least 20 percent of women older than 50 have osteoporosis, a condition that results in weak or brittle bones. In contrast, only four percent of men of the same age develop the debilitating condition.
According to data, at least 44 million Americans have low bone mass. (Related: Dried plums show promise in effectively preventing colon cancer.)
COVID RELATED NEWS
Dr. Flavio Cadegiani, a Brazilian endocrinologist, suspects that the worst has yet to come for spike protein-induced diseases in the endocrine system.
The endocrine system, colloquially known as the hormone system, is critical for our health. It regulates growth and development, mood, metabolism, reproduction, immunity, and functions of other organs through the secretion of hormones.
Hormones are one of the three biggest messengers in the body. Compared to the two other messengers—neurotransmitters and cytokines—hormones are slower in responding, and have systemic functions across the body rather than localized actions.
While cells can usually respond to neurotransmitters in milliseconds and cytokines in minutes to hours, cells that respond to hormones can take hours or even weeks.
Since hormones can have slow and systemic actions, a dysfunctional or damaged endocrine system will generally be slow in its symptom onset and recovery.
Studies have shown that spike proteins from COVID-19 infection and the vaccines can damage endocrine glands, including pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, as well as reproductive organs, and many more.
Cadegiani raised a concern that the slower onset of endocrine pathologies may pose difficulties in diagnosis and treatment.
Genetic Fingerprint Reveals Synthetic Origin of SARS-CoV-2
According to new research, the chance of SARS-CoV-2 having a natural origin is less than 1 in 100 million. SARS-CoV-2 has a telltale signature of genetic engineering, not previously identified
That genetic fingerprint suggests the work of Ralph Baric, Ph.D., was used in the creation of the virus. There’s a direct match between Baric’s published research — which describes how to hide telltale signs of genetic engineering — and the genetics found in SARS-CoV-2
In 2002, Baric invented a technique called seamless ligation, which conceals all evidence of genetic engineering in lab-created pathogens. Baric’s nickname for this technique is the “no-see’m method.” Baric taught the method to Shi Zhengli in 2016, and Shi and her colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) demonstrated mastery of Baric’s technique in a series of gain-of-function experiments
However, while seamless ligation conceals human tampering in lab-created pathogens, the method leaves a signature of its own, and that’s the signature discovered in SARS-CoV-2
The findings raise the possibility of liability for the University of North Carolina where Baric works, the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which funded Baric, the WIV and other parties

White House Deletes Post After Getting Fact-Checked on Twitter
The White House on Wednesday deleted a Twitter post after it was fact-checked for making an inaccurate claim about the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) that was recently announced.
“Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership,” the now-deleted White House Twitter post said.
However, the post failed to mention that the COLA adjustment was due to surging, decades-high inflation. COLA adjustments have been automatically done every year for decades due to federal law, and the adjustments are not contingent on any of the Biden administration’s policies.
“The point was incomplete,” a White House official told The Epoch Times via email.
The White House said the complete point was outlined in a recent statement from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
The First Amendment Protects the Right to Parody the Government
In May of 2016, Anthony Novak of Parma, Ohio, spent four days in jail for making fun of his local police department. The cause of this unfortunate encounter with law enforcement was his decision to engage in the longstanding American tradition of political parody by creating a spoof Facebook account of his local police department.
In order to make his parody work, Novak needed to make the page look convincing at first glance, so he copied the name and profile picture of the official Facebook account of the City of Parma Police Department. Although a quick look might have been enough to fool some people, a closer read revealed the page’s unserious nature. The parody page lacked the Facebook designations for an authenticated government‐associated page, and in its short twelve hours of existence the page amassed only seven posts. The first six posts advertised outlandish initiatives such as a free abortion program offered by the Parma Police and a modest proposal to rid the city of its homeless population through a program of starvation.
To keep up the joke, Novak deleted comments left on his posts indicating that they were inauthentic. After learning that the police were investigating the account, he made one final entry in his string of outrageous posts. Novak copied the Department’s clarification on its official page indicating that it was aware of the parody account and that Novak’s page was not associated with the department.
Novak was arrested nearly a month after he stopped posting to Facebook and charged with “disrupting police operations” under Ohio law. Fortunately for Novak, a jury of his peers saw the absurdity of the government’s humorless prosecution and acquitted him at trial. Novak then sought to vindicate his First and Fourth Amendment rights by filing suit against the city and arresting officers.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Orders Undated, Wrongly Dated Ballots to Not Be Counted
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered counties to not count any ballots that are in undated or incorrectly dated envelopes in the upcoming Nov. 8 elections, siding with national and state Republican groups in a lawsuit filed just over two weeks ago.
“The Pennsylvania county boards of elections are hereby ORDERED to refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the November 8, 2022 general election that are contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes,” the court said in its order (pdf).
It added, “We hereby DIRECT that the Pennsylvania county boards of elections segregate and preserve any ballots contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes.”
Court justices were split 3–3 on whether not counting these ballots would violate 52 US Code section 10101 (a)(2)(B), a voting provision under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
