THE USMC CELEBRATES 246 YEARS OF SERVICE TO ITS NATION
On November 10, 2021, Marines across the globe will recognize and acknowledge 246 years of service to their country, the sacrifices made to defend democracy, and the Marine Corps’ enduring legacy as America’s premier fighting force.
The Marine Corps’ annual tradition celebrates the establishment of the organization on November 10, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress. Following their role in the American Revolution, the Marines were abolished following the Treaty of Paris in April 1783. Then, on July 11, 1798, Congress ordered the creation of the Marine Corps and directed that it be available for service under the Secretary of the Navy.
The birthday, also known as Marine Corps Day, was originally celebrated on July 11 from 1799 until 1921 when Major General Lejeune issued an order to formalize the tradition and establish the official day to honor the birthday of the Marine Corps. The ceremony traditionally includes a guest of honor, a reading of Gen. Lejeune’s birthday message and the current Commandant’s message, recognition of the oldest and youngest Marine present, and a cake cutting.
While the first cake ceremony is unknown, the first on record took place at Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C., in 1937. Major General Thomas Holcomb, the Commandant, presided at an open house for Marine Corps officers, including the cutting of a huge cake in the shape of Tun Tavern, the birthplace of the Corps.
Delingpole: COP26 Is Just an Eco-Fascist, Globalist Gaslighting Operation
Breitbart – There are two ways to understand the COP26 pantomime beginning its second week of wasting everyone’s time and money in Glasgow, Scotland. One is to read Ephesians 6:12; the other is to recognise it for what it really is: a gigantic eco-fascist gaslighting operation.
It’s all about the optics. The spectacle of dozens of world leaders and their vast entourages arriving in their fleets of private jets is designed to awe the gullible masses into believing that the ‘climate crisis’ is real and urgent and the number one priority. The hyperbolic language of imminent doom is designed to generate an air of fear and panic and ‘something must be done!’ The clown show of designated cultural influencers (gorilla-hugging, whispery-voiced Malthusian David Attenborough; Leo DiCaprio; the inevitable Doom Goblin Greta Thunberg; etc) is aimed at reassuring us: ‘It isn’t just politicians who know this to be true. So too do your favourite TV and movie stars and pigtailed, autistic school dropouts!’
None of this mass propaganda would be possible, however, without the compliance of the media. For the evil spell to work its magic on the beglamoured populace, all the papers and TV news operations must be in agreement that a) the event is of paramount newsworthiness and b) that everyone present is speaking and acting in good faith, obviating any need to subject their claims to critical analysis.
This is why the lying media establishment (which, of course, now includes Big Tech and much of the online media) has been working harder than ever to persuade the world that the debate is over. Only a minority of cranks, tinfoil hatters, paid operatives of Big Oil and science-denying deplorables now dispute the reality of the climate crisis, the narrative runs. All the scientists and other experts reached unanimity on this subject long ago, supposedly.
Biden Administration Sends Notices to Appear to Tens of Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Inside US
Epoch Times – President Joe Biden’s administration is sending notices to tens of thousands illegal immigrants who were released into the U.S. interior without being given a date to appear in court, the government confirmed to The Epoch Times. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “is mailing charging documents to place noncitizens in removal proceedings who have been paroled or released under prosecutorial discretion by Customs and Border Protection,” an ICE spokesman told The Epoch Times in an email. The illegal immigrants, numbering about 78,000, will receive packets of documents, including ones directing them to report to the ICE office closest to where they’re living, and that they will be processed for possible deportation.
Epoch Times – Federal workers who have recovered from COVID-19 have filed a class-action lawsuit against Dr. Anthony Fauci and other government officials over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate that still forces them to get a jab. The government not only failed to offer a carve out exemptions for naturally immune workers, or those who have recovered, but neither President Joe Biden’s executive order nor the guidance explaining it outlines why naturally acquired immunity isn’t an acceptable alternative to vaccination, the lawsuit says. “Because they already have natural immunity, there is no coherent purpose for the federal government to require them to undertake a medical procedure to be vaccinated if they choose not to, or be terminated from their employment, their careers,” Robert Henneke, general counsel at the Texas Public Policy Foundation and one of the lawyers representing the government workers, told The Epoch Times.
Vitamin D Papers Top List of Most Popular Studies of the Year
Mercola – Vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest, least expensive and most fundamental beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections.
October 31, 2020, I published a scientific review in the journal Nutrients, co-written with William Grant, Ph.D., and Dr. Carol Wagner. Our paper is the second-most downloaded study from this journal in the past 12 months. It’s also No. 2 in citations for articles in the past 12 months, and No. 4 for views.
The study with the most downloads in the past year and the all-time highest number of views is another vitamin D paper, which found vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of influenza and COVID-19 infections and deaths.
A third vitamin D paper nabbed the No. 1 spot for most-cited study in the past 12 months. This study found vitamin D supplementation improved survival in frail elderly hospitalized with COVID-19.
To improve your immune function and lower your risk of viral infections, you’ll want to maintain a vitamin D level between 60 ng/mL and 80 ng/mL (150 nmol/L and 200 nmol/L). Vitamin D optimization is particularly important for dark-skinned individuals, as the darker your skin, the more sun exposure you need to raise your vitamin D level, as well as the elderly

CDC HITS NEW LOWS WITH TWO MANIPULATED STUDIES
Mercola – Recent data from the U.K. Office of National Statistics reveals people who have been double jabbed against COVID-19 are dying from all causes at a rate six times higher than the unvaccinated.
In the U.S., meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is propping up the official narrative with two manipulated studies — one suggesting the jab reduces all-cause mortality, and another claiming the shot is five times more protective than natural immunity.
Both studies are of questionable quality and have several problems, including selection of time and date ranges that allow them to pretend that the COVID shots are safer and more effective than they really are.
According to all-cause mortality statistics, the number of Americans who died between January 2021 and August 2021 is 16% higher than 2018 (the pre-COVID year with the highest all-cause mortality) and 18% higher than the average death rate between 2015 and 2019. Did COVID-19 raise the death toll despite mass vaccination, or are people dying at increased rates because of the COVID jabs?.
CDC data reveal that while the number of hospitalized patients with natural immunity fell sharply over the summer, when the delta variant took over, the number of vaccinated people being hospitalized soared, from three per month on average during the spring to more than 100 a month in late summer. Since these vaccinated patients were less than six months from their second dose, they should have been at or near maximum immunity
Western Australia To Begin Early-Stage Vaccine Passports
Epoch Times – Western Australia will be requiring proof of vaccination for certain venues once the state reaches its opening-up target of 90 percent of 12-and-overs fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated individuals would no longer be allowed to attend nightclubs and casinos, along with events with more than 1,000 patrons such as concerts and festivals. This is on top of existing restrictions on unvaccinated West Australians, such as the sweeping mandates covering one million workers—amounting to 75 percent of the state’s workforce—with businesses risking $100,000 fines and individuals $20,000 fines for noncompliance. However, WA Premier Mark McGowan said the vaccine passport requirements could be broadened. “Additional proof of vaccination requirements could be stepped up, based on the latest health advice,” he said in a Facebook post.
Welsh Cinemas, Theatres to Require COVID Pass
Epoch Times – People will be required to show a COVID pass to enter cinemas, theatres, and concert halls in Wales from Nov. 15. Welsh lawmakers passed the government’s motion to expand the use of COVID passes on Tuesday by 39 votes to 15 along party lines. Fourteen Welsh Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats voted against the measure while Labour and Plaid Cymru backed it. Currently, COVID passes are required as proof of full CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccinations or up to 48-hours-old negative lateral flow tests results to enter nightclubs, unseated indoor venues for more than 500 people, and other venues with a capacity of over 4,000 people. Civil liberty campaign group Big Brother Watch said on Monday that it is initiating a legal challenge against the “authoritarian, invasive, and unevidenced” scheme.
Germany Advises Against Moderna Shot for Young People Over Rare Heart Condition
Epoch TImes – German health authorities followed other European nations on Wednesday in advising against the use of Moderna’s Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine for people under the age of 30 after evidence emerged the shot has a slightly higher risk of cardiac inflammation. A German advisory committee, known as STIKO, cited findings similar to a study published on Nov. 8 by France’s Epi-Phare, showing that vaccines using mRNA technology were associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), and pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart), in younger patients—with a slightly higher prevalence in those who received Moderna. STIKO recommended that Germans in this age group should only receive the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine as it causes fewer cases of heart inflammations. The committee also recommended that pregnant women should be inoculated only with the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine, regardless of their age.
UK Vaccine Mandate May Force 123,000 out of Health Care Sector
Epoch Times – The UK’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for front-line health and social care staff in England may force more than 120,000 people to leave the sector, according to government estimates. Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced on Tuesday that all those working in the National Health Service (NHS) and social care must get fully vaccinated to continue in their jobs from April 1, 2022. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said the mandate will apply to health and social care workers who have “direct, face-to-face contact” with patients—such as doctors, nurses, dentists, and domiciliary care workers, unless they are exempt. The rule will also apply to porters or receptionists who may have social contact with patients. The policy is intended to “avoid preventable harm and protect patients in the NHS, protect colleagues in the NHS, and of course protect the NHS itself,”
Biden Threatens Action Against Nicaragua After Socialist Daniel Ortega Wins Election
Epoch Times – The Biden administration threatened sanctions against Nicaragua after longtime President Daniel Ortega secured a fourth term in an election that observers say was a sham. In statements released by the White House, President Joe Biden said Ortega, a former Marxist guerrilla fighter, and his wife—Vice President Rosario Murillo—”orchestrated” a “pantomime election that was neither free nor fair, and most certainly not democratic.” “The arbitrary imprisonment of nearly 40 opposition figures since May, including seven potential presidential candidates, and the blocking of political parties from participation rigged the outcome well before election day,” Biden’s statement continued. “They shuttered independent media, locked up journalists and members of the private sector, and bullied civil society organizations into closing their doors.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken, meanwhile, said that the United States will use a variety of tactics to place pressure on the Ortega government.
Consumer Price Inflation Accelerates to Fastest Rate in 31 Years
Epoch Times – nflation accelerated sharply and well-above forecasts in October, with consumer prices rising at their fastest over-the-year pace in more than three decades as persistent supply chain bottlenecks continue to push prices skyward. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported on Nov. 10 that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of inflation from the perspective of end consumers of goods and services, surged by 6.2 percent over the year and 0.9 percent over the month in October. That puts the pace of over-the-year consumer price inflation at its highest level since December 1990, when it rose by 6.3 percent. At 0.9 percent, the over-the-month pace of inflation is the highest since June 2021, which at the time was the fastest rate since 2008. Economists polled by Bloomberg predicted Wednesday’s CPI print would come in at 5.9 percent over the year and 0.6 percent over the month.
Nine Governors Press US Lawmakers to Pass Semiconductor Funding Bill
Epoch Times – A bipartisan group of governors from nine states sent a letter on Wednesday to U.S. lawmakers urging them to pass subsidies for semiconductor factories that would produce chips for cars. The governors, who include Michigan Democrat Gretchen Whitmer, called on Congress to pass the $52 billion CHIPS Act, which would set aside $2 billion for the kind of older-technology chips of which there is a deep shortage in the automotive industry. The group, which also includes the governors of auto-producing states like Alabama, said the shortage had cost automakers 2.2 million vehicles and affected 575,000 jobs in the industry. “The global auto chip shortage has hit Michigan and states across the country hard, idling plants and slowing production, threatening thousands of auto-related jobs up and down the supply chain,” Whitmer said in a statement.
Judge Rejects Trump’s Bid to Shield Records From Congressional Probe of US Capitol Breach
Epoch TImes – A federal judge late Tuesday rejected an attempt by former President Donald Trump to shield records from his time in office from a congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol. Trump’s lawyers argued that a request for documents sent to the U.S. archivist was “illegal, unfounded, and overbroad” and lacked a legitimate legislative purpose. They asked the court to declare the request invalid and block it. Lawyers for Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the panel, and other members on the committee asserted the request for documents was within its jurisdiction and had a clear legislative purpose: “to understand the facts and causes surrounding the January 6 attack to develop legislation and other measures that will protect our nation from a similar assault in the future.”
US Astronauts Landing on Moon Date Extended to 2025: NASA
Epch Times – NASA announced Tuesday that putting astronauts back on the moon will be delayed by a year from the previous deadline set by the Trump administration. The reasons for extending the lunar rendezvous to 2025 were cited as funding and legal issues as well as pandemic-related restrictions. According to NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, Congress had not provided enough money for developing a landing system for its Artemis moon program and Orion capsule. The Artemis program is aimed at establishing a sustainable long-term lunar colony before sending astronauts to Mars. There was a legal challenge mounted by Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin against NASA for handing the $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Judge Richard Hertling of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims dismissed the lawsuit on Nov. 4.
