Op Ed # 604 Center For Military Readiness Challenges New Congress to End Woke-ism in the US MilitaryThu, 01/19/2023 - 16:18 — cvcadminBy Capt Joseph R. John, January 18, 2023 Ms. Elaine Donnelly has been the President of the Center for Military Readiness (CMR) for 30 years. She has done an exceptionally outstanding job of supporting every correct policy initiative and the annual DOD budget request to improve the Combat Effectiveness of US Armed Forces for 30 years. In her below listed initiatives, she is encouraging the Biden/Obama administration to end Wokeness in the US Military, the politics of skin color and pronouns in the US Military, which over the last two years, has resulted in “Weakened Morale”, a Decreased State of Readiness”, has Eliminated Unit Cohesiveness”, and has “Degraded The Combat Effectiveness” of the US Armed Forces. The Navy Leadership promoting “Wokeness” has threatened to punish sailors who purposely abuse pronouns to define transgender service members, viewing it as an offense of harassment. Sailors that contravene the policy can encounter administrative or judicial punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Navy Pentagon Leadership states that intentional misuse of transgender service member pronouns is inappropriate and inconsistent with the Navy zero tolerance policy on harassment. The Navy appreciates that pronouns are a part of individual identity which both civilian and uniformed Navy members are expected to make use of, as well as to pronounce names correctly.

Op Ed # 603 "The Plan", The Communist Strategy to Change the Republic Into a Marxist/Socialist StateSun, 01/15/2023 - 00:59 — cvcadminBy Capt Joseph R. John, January 14, 2023 In 1958, Robert Welch, tried to warn America of “The Plan” that Marxists, Communists, and Socialists initiated to change the United States from a US Constitutional Republic into a Marxist/Socialist State. He was repeatedly attacked by the left of center liberal media establishment as an “extreme right-winger.”
Robert Welch, was warning Americans about what Communists would do to take down the US Constitutional Republic. It happens to be what the Biden/Obama administration and Socialist Democrats have been doing over the last two years, to undercut the US Constitutional Republic, which includes substantially increasing taxes by $318.7 Billion on January 1, 2023. Those new taxes will continue to slow down and destabilize the US Economy that is already in a recession. The new $318.7 Billion tax increases was passed by the Inflation Reduction Act. The increases are explained in detail in the below listed article. The Inflation Reduction Act was passed in August 2022 with only the votes of 50 Socialist Democrat Senators, no Republican Senators voted for the Inflation Reduction Act. It took Vice President Kamala Harris to cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the massive new increase in taxes. Social Democrats Passed $318.7 Billion in New Taxes Damaging American Taxpayers as Follows:
1. $65 Billion Natural Gas Taxes—Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills. 2. $12 Billion Crude Oil Taxes—Which Will Increase Household Heating Costs. 3. $1.2 Billion Coal Taxes—Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills. 4. $74 Billion Stock Taxes—Which Will Hit American’s Nest Eggs (401ks, IRAs, and Pension Plans). 5. $225 Billion Corporate Income Tax Hikes---Corporations Never Pay Increases In Taxes, They Pass New Taxes On To Consumers. Socialist Democrats have been denying that their policies, over the last two years, have created inflation, destabilized the US Economy, and have created the recession. In keeping with “The Plan”, by passing the Inflation Reduction Act during a recession, Socialist Democrats have massively increased US Taxes on the average American Taxpayer by $318.7 Billion, have continued to increase inflation, severely decreased the income of the average American Taxpayer, and are continuing to destabilize the US Economy.

It may not be published, broadcast, or rewritten without the permission from the author. List of Biden Tax Hikes Hitting Americans on Jan. 1st Mike Palicz January 4, 2023 On Jan. 1, 2023 the following Democrat tax hikes will take effect: $6.5 Billion Natural Gas Tax Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills Think your household energy bills are high now? Just wait until the three major energy taxes in the Inflation Reduction Act hit your wallet. The first is a regressive tax on American oil and gas development. The tax will drive up the cost of household energy bills. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the natural gas tax will increase taxes by $6.5 billion. The tax hike violates President Biden’s tax pledge to any American making less than $400,000 per year. Biden administration officials have repeatedly admitted taxes that raise consumer energy prices are in violation of President Biden’s $400,000 tax pledge. A letter to Congress from the American Gas Association warned that the methane tax would amount to a 17% increase on an average family’s natural gas bill. Democrats have included a tax in the bill despite retail prices for energy surpassing multi-year highs in the United States. $12 Billion Crude Oil Tax Which Will Increase Household Costs Democrats are imposing a 16.4 cents-per-barrel tax on crude oil and imported petroleum products that will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher gas prices. The tax hike violates President Biden’s tax pledge to any American making less than $400,000 per year. As noted above, Biden administration officials have repeatedly admitted taxes that raise consumer energy prices are in violation of President Biden’s $400,000 tax pledge. As if it weren’t bad enough, Democrats have pegged their oil tax increase to inflation. As inflation increases, so will the level of tax. The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates the provision will raise $12 billion in taxes. $1.2 Billion Coal Tax Which Will Increase Household Energy Bills The tax hike more than doubles the current excise taxes on coal production. Under the Democrat proposal, the tax rate on coal from subsurface mining would increase from $0.50 per ton to $1.10 per ton while the tax rate on coal from surface mining would increase from $0.25 per ton to $0.55 per ton. JCT estimates that this will raise $1.2 billion in taxes that will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher electricity bills. $74 Billion Stock Tax Which Will Hit Your Nest Egg — 401(k)s, IRAs and Pension Plans When Americans choose to sell shares of stock back to a company, Democrats will impose a new federal excise tax which will reduce the value of household nest eggs. Raising taxes and restricting stock buybacks harms the retirement savings of any individual with a 401(k), IRA or pension plan. Union retirement plans will also be hit. The tax will put U.S. employers at a competitive disadvantage with China, which does not have such a tax. Stock buybacks help grow retirement accounts. Raising taxes and restricting buybacks would harm the 58 percent of Americans who own stock and more than 60 million workers invested in a 401(k). An additional 14.83 million Americans are invested in 529 education savings accounts. Retirement accounts hold the largest share of corporate stocks, accounting for roughly 37 percent of the outstanding $22.8 trillion in U.S. corporate stock, according to the Tax Foundation. In 2017, corporate-sponsored funds made up $4.45 trillion in market value; union-sponsored funds accounted for $409 billion; and public-sponsored funds, which benefit teachers and police officers, added up to $4.25 trillion. When companies perform stock buybacks, these investors are the ones who benefit. A tax on buybacks could dissuade companies from conducting this action and negatively impact retirement savings. American companies will face significant compliance costs — a boon to expensive white-shoe law firms — the burden of which will be passed on to working households. $225 Billion Corporate Income Tax Hike Which Will Be Passed on to Households Democrats imposed a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax on the financial statement income of American businesses reporting $1 billion in profits for the past three years. These American companies employ millions of Americans. The cost of this tax increase will be borne by working families in the form of higher prices, fewer jobs, and lower wages. A Tax Foundation report from last December found a 15 percent book tax would reduce GDP by 0.1 percent and kill 27,000 jobs. Preliminary cost estimates from the Congressional Budget Office found the provision would increase taxes by more than $225 billion. According to JCT’s analysis, 49.7 percent of the tax would be borne by the manufacturing industry at a time when manufacturers are already struggling with supply-chain disruptions. Tax Foundation also warned that current supply chain issues could be worsened by the book tax’s disproportionate burden on key industries. The report concluded that “the coal industry faces the heaviest burden of the book minimum tax, facing a net tax hike of 7.2 percent of its pretax book income, followed by automobile and truck manufacturing, which faces a 5.1 percent tax hike.” Reprinted with Permission from - Americans For Tax Reform by – Mike Palicz
Op Ed # 602 Chinese War Planners Are Ecstatic With Biden “Opens Door Policy” Allowing For Chinese SabotageFri, 01/06/2023 - 00:10 — cvcadminBy Capt Joseph R. John, January 4, 2023 Communism China poses an existential threat to the United States and all Mankind. Over the last two years the Biden/Obama administration has had an open-door policy with Communist China which has been predictably disabling the military defenses and disarming intelligence defenses of the Republic. In the article below this Op Ed read that China Expert, Gordon Chang, writes at the Gatestone Institute, where he is a senior distinguished fellow and an Advisory Board Member, that “Chinese War Planners Are Ecstatic: With Biden China’s ‘Opens Door Policy’ Allowing for Chinese Sabotage.” While Biden recently met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Indonesia, he incoherently stated we are not adversaries, there is no need for a Cold War. He said the US and Communist China are friendly competitors. However, one would have to be brain-dead to believe that the US and Communist China are not in a Cold War. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is conditioning the population of Communist China to expect a coming war. Yet the Biden/Obama administration is ignoring the continued threats by Communist China to Taiwan, and the repeated outright warnings to the United States not to defend Taiwan. The Biden/Obama administration allowed Communist China to establish and operate a Communist Chinese Fuzhou Overseas Police Service Station, located in the US at 107 East Broadway, New York City, NY. The Fuzhou Overseas Police Service Station is inside the headquarters of the American Changle Association, founded in 1998. That only could have happened with the approval of the Biden/Obama administration but was done without the approval or the knowledge of Congress. Establishment of the Fuzhou Overseas Police Service Station was authorized by Obama’s former White House staff, headed by Susan Rice, who is in control of the Oval Office. The Chinese Communist Police Force operating in the US are rounding up dissident Chinese Nationals who fled Communist China. The Biden/Obama administration rescinded President Trump’s prevention of the use of any Communist Chinese State-Run Company from bidding on providing electronic components, manufactured in Communist China, to be inserted throughout the United States National Electronic Power Grid System (Power Grid). If that occurs, Communist China would have the ability to shut down the US Power Grid, creating at least a two-year winter in the US, which would kill and starve millions of Americans. The Biden/Obama administration processed and cleared a Chinese Communist company to purchase and own 370 acres of land only twelve miles from Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota where overly sensitive military technology can be spied on. As a result, China will be able to use a proposed $700 million corn milling plant on the site and be able to spy on military communications and even disrupt them. In Beijing, Chinese Communist Party must be shaking their heads in disbelief at the inability of the U.S. to protect its most sensitive military technology and communications". Trade expert Alan Tonelson stated, "The decision of the Socialist Democrat Congressional authors of the recent Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) reform that is permitting any foreign purchase of US land near any U.S. military installation was a clear case of legislative malpractice." It is not malpractice, it is treason. ________________________________________________________________________ 'Must be shaking their heads in disbelief at inability to protect most sensitive communications' By Bob Unruh
Action by Joe Biden actually "opens the door" for China to sabotage America, by spying and possibly disrupting America's military communications, charges China expert Gordon Chang. He writes at the Gatestone Institute, where he is a senior distinguished fellow and an advisory board member, about the Biden administration process that just cleared a Chinese company to own 370 acres of land only 12 miles from Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota. "As a result, China will be able to use a proposed $700 million corn milling plant on the site to spy on military communications and even disrupt them. In Beijing, they must be shaking their heads in disbelief at the inability of the U.S. to protect some of its most sensitive communications," he warned. It was the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a task force, that said the deal is not a "covered transaction" under the Defense Production Act of 1950. Therefore, CFIUS, as the agency is known, decided it did not have jurisdiction to block the land purchase, Chang documented. He points out that while the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 called on CFIUS to review purchases by foreign parties of lands close to specific locations, such as military installations, the Grand Forks base was not on the attached list. Trade expert Alan Tonelson told Chang, "The decision of the congressional authors of the recent CFIUS reform to permit any foreign purchase of any land near any U.S. military installation was a clear case of legislative malpractice." The bottom line now is that Fufeng USA, a subsidiary of a Chinese agribusiness conglomerate, now is free to build its wet corn milling and biofermentation plant in Grand Forks. "Chinese war planners must be ecstatic," Chang wrote. He quoted Brandon Weichert, author of Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower, "The Chinese will now have the ability to conduct passive, persistent surveillance of both signals controlling experimental drones that are routinely tested at that USAF facility as well as signals that are routinely beamed to and from sensitive U.S. military satellites." And Weichert said it's possible that "active sabotage operations" will occur. "Should the U.S. and China end up in a shooting war over, say, Taiwan, Fufeng's property near the Air Force base could be used to send malicious signals to jam passing satellites or disrupt the operation of drones. We have made ourselves vulnerable on our own territory," he said. Local activists remain diligent in their opposition, and their commitment to continuing the fight, Chang said. And Weichert raised the issue of perhaps even worse problems. "What other purchases by foreigners have slipped through the cracks?" he said.
Today's Socialist Democratic Party Is A Kaleidoscope Of Bizarre And Destructive CultsThu, 12/29/2022 - 02:25 — cvcadminIn the article below my signature block, ten destructive cults, which are being promoted by the Socialist Democrat Party, Marxists, and Communists, masquerading as science-based political movements, is a vast movement, bewildering Americans, and ever-expanding. To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation gone mad with these far-left cults, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these irrational, deranged – and often demonic – political and cultural movements have been so readily capturing the minds of millions of young Americans that they have become nothing short of full-fledged deranged religious cults being promoted by the far-left of center media establishment.
Cult Central is the nation’s far-left colleges and universities; in those colleges and universities, America’s next generation of citizens are being indoctrinated and misled daily through toxic, delusional and intensely guilt-producing Marxist ideologies that totally transforms the student to an individual that their mother and father no longer recognize.
It is no exaggeration to say these various far-left cults are destroying millions of American lives. Sadly, some of the damage is irreversible, particularly in the lives shattered by gender recruitment cults that persuade teen girls to undergo “top surgery” (double mastectomies) and boys to be chemically or surgically castrated (“bottom surgery”). Children whose lives were shattered by irreversible surgeries, have since matured and are now suing the people that led them astray and destroyed their lives.
Nevertheless, this wildly metastasizing panorama of leftwing cults is not the whole story – far from it. However catastrophic and life-altering these various quasi-religious movements are to the individuals swept up in them and into American society, there is a larger, and even more shocking dimension to what is going on behind the scenes. These cults are being promoted by Marxist and Communists to destroy America’s religions, the conservative normalcy, and the nuclear family that is the basis for a strong Patriotic culture. Ten of these cults are listed and briefly identified, and further analyzed and discussed much more thoroughly in the below listed article. Climate Change Cult---7 out of 10 children fear the future, 4 out of 10 children refuse to bring children into the dangerous world because they are being brainwashed in school to believe there will be a world climate catastrophe.
Anti-Racist Cult---stating America is irredeemably racist forcing the indoctrination in Black Lives Matter and promoting the lie that police are racists (the USA is the least racist, most successful multi-ethnic society in world history).
Cult of Wokeness---intimidates millions into living in fear of saying, writing, or thinking the “wrong thing,” on threat of being shunned.
LGBTQ Cult---allows men to compete in women’s sports, forces young girls to share bathrooms with men, indoctrinates children in schools and libraries to experiment with gay sex, encourages children to change their sex.
Cult of Transgender--- based on absurdly unscientific, pathological, and demonic belief that gender is a state of mind, brainwashing minds, groomers captivating children, forcing the utterly deranged beliefs in sudden personality changes.
Gender Recruitment Cult---damage is irreversible, teen girls undergo double mastectomies and boys are chemically or surgically castrated.
Cult of Abortion--- in ancient times sacrificing children to demonic gods like Moloch and Baal was justified, because gods thus satisfied would reward the parents with prosperity and good fortune; the argument given for legalized abortion today.
Cult of COVID---crippled much of American society for 3 years, while shutting down churches nationally, the CDC changed the 100 years medical definition of “vaccine” to fit an unproven, ineffective, and dangerous experimental injection.
Cult of Globalism---the Great Reset of Capitalism would cancel America’s way of life; Americans would be controlled by a world body that and would eliminate the 2nd Amendment, freedom of speech, and religious freedom.
Tik Tok Cult--- hypnotic influence various TikTok personalities exert on adolescents, the unmistakable similarities to infamous cults and mass-hysteria episodes persuading children to identify as transgender and undergo surgical amputations.
We encourage the reader to share this information on cults, designed to change America’s way of life, with those in your address book. Joseph R. John, USNA ‘62 Capt USN(Ret)/Former FBI Chairman, Combat Veterans For Congress PAC 2307 Fenton Parkway, Suite 107-184 San Diego, CA 92108

Today's Democratic Party Is A Kaleidoscope Of Bizarre And Destructive Cults David Kupelian explores deranged religious movements created by the atheistic left By David Kupelian
In today’s America, the array of de facto cults masquerading as science-based political movements is vast, bewildering and ever-expanding: There’s the “Climate Change Cult.” And the “Anti-Racism Cult” and the “Cult of Wokeness.” There’s the “LGBTQ Cult” and its out-of-control predatory offspring targeting America’s children, the “Cult of Transgender.” There’s the ever-more-strident “Cult of Abortion.” And the “Cult of COVID.” Overarching many of these, of course, is the “Cult of Globalism.” And there are many more, like the ever-expanding number of “TikTok Cults.” Every month the list grows. To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these irrational, deranged – and often demonic – political and cultural movements that are so readily capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged religious cults. Their profoundly negative effects are inescapable: Repeated polls confirm that the “Climate Change Cult,” with its hysterical indoctrination of America’s school kids, has caused a staggering seven out of 10 young people to fear the future, so great is their concern that the world may soon come to an apocalyptic end. Four in 10 even say they will not bring any children into such a cursed and short-lived world. Never mind that 1,100 scientists and scholars recently signed a document affirming “There is no climate emergency.” Meanwhile, the “Wokeness Cult” intimidates millions into living in continual fear of saying, writing or even thinking the “wrong thing,” on threat of being shunned, “cancelled,” ostracized from their peer group or fired from their job – a scenario jarringly reminiscent of the dreaded “thoughtcrime” accusation in George Orwell’s “1984.” The “Cult of Abortion” is compared by many to the ancient “Cult of Moloch” because of the uncanny similarity between modern-day abortion and the ubiquitous practice of child sacrifice in the pagan world of old. In past millennia, sacrificing children to demonic gods like Moloch and Baal was justified by the belief that the gods thus satisfied would reward the parents with prosperity and good fortune. That’s precisely the argument given for legalized abortion today. Last May, testifying against the Supreme Court’s imminent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen insisted that eliminating or reducing women’s access to abortion would be devastating both to women and to America’s prosperity in general. “I believe that eliminating the rights of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades,” Yellen said. Then there’s the “COVID Cult,” which has crippled much of American society over the last three years. While shutting down real churches all over the country during the pandemic, the high priests of COVID founded their own religion. As with most faiths, the “COVID Cult” clearly differentiates between the clean and the unclean, the justified and the unjustified, the saved and the unsaved – or as they are better known, the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. The only problem is that their sacred ritual of internal cleansing, an act elevated almost to the level of holy communion, necessitated that the CDC quietly change the definition of “vaccine” to fit an unproven, ineffective and dangerous experimental medicine the COVID priests still insist on administering to true believers – and their children. Social Contagion And Brainwashing Today’s cults share disturbing yet unmistakable similarities to infamous cults and mass-hysteria episodes of the past. For example, consider the hypnotic influence various TikTok personalities exert on adolescents, persuading many to “identify” as transgender and undergo surgical amputation of healthy body parts. Still other TikTok influencers, displaying their Tourette’s Syndrome on camera, have ignited a bizarre epidemic of teenage girls suddenly manifesting spontaneous Tourette’s tics themselves. There are few limits to this social contagion phenomenon, which Western medicine refers to as “mass sociogenic illness,” more commonly known as "mass hysteria." Some of the behaviors and sudden personality changes – especially in the “Transgender Cult” where countless adolescents have suffered their minds to be completely captivated by groomers, mimicking their utterly deranged beliefs and statements – are even reminiscent of the infamous Salem witch trials of the late 1600s when girls suddenly started imitating the behavior of their peers and identifying innocent women as witches. Or the 1980s’ McMartin Preschool sex-abuse case, about which the "mainstream media" went bonkers, including the New York Times, which reported that “hundreds of children might have been molested and subjected to satanic rituals" at the California daycare center. Except they weren't. None of it actually happened, and after the longest and most expensive criminal trial in American history, not a single conviction resulted. But many young people, while in the grip of “mass sociogenic” influences, claimed a lot of horrendous things to police and investigators that were totally untrue, as some of the child accusers confessed years later. Cult Central, of course, would be the nation’s far-left colleges and universities, which historian William Lind likens to “little ivy-covered North Koreas.” There, America’s next generation is daily indoctrinated in toxic, delusional and intensely guilt-producing Marxist ideologies that, in many cases, totally transform the student. Case in point: Recently Manhattan resident Melinda Rockwell hired a cult deprogrammer for $300 per day to undo the “brainwashing” her daughter experienced courtesy of Mount Holyoke College, the famed $60,000-a-year Ivy League girls’ school in Massachusetts. During her time there, Annabella Rockwell was deeply indoctrinated with far-left ideology while being turned totally against her own parents, and was basically transformed, her mother later said, into a “very anxious, very nervous, very depressed and sad" would-be soldier for the woke revolution. "She was no longer the Annabella I'd known all her life," Melinda Rockwell told the New York Post. "This girl was the most bubbly breath of fresh air to everyone. She lit up a room. But the light was stolen from her at that school. It was extinguished. It was no different than if she'd been taken away by the Moonies or the Children of God." It’s no exaggeration to say these various far-left cults are destroying millions of American lives. Sadly, some of the damage is irreversible, particularly in the lives shattered by gender recruitment cults that persuade teen girls to undergo “top surgery” (double mastectomies) and boys to be chemically or surgically castrated (“bottom surgery”). Nevertheless, this wildly metastasizing panorama of leftwing cults is not the whole story – far from it. However catastrophic and life-altering these various quasi-religious movements are to the individuals swept up in them, and to American society as a whole, there is a larger, and in some ways, even more shocking dimension to what is going on behind the scenes. Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste First, it’s essential to recognize that every one of these cults is a hoax, a fraud – a construct. The “Anti-Racism Cult” is based on the proposition that America is irredeemably racist. But the USA is hands-down the least racist, most successful multi-ethnic society in world history, which is why it remains the world’s No. 1 destination for immigrants, legal and illegal. The “Cult of Transgender” is based on the absurdly unscientific, pathological and arguably demonic belief that gender is a state of mind, and that feelings, emotions, cravings and irrational compulsions comprise a legitimate and compelling basis for defining reality and one’s true identity. But that’s pretty much the definition of mental illness. And so on with the other cults. However, if they’re all hoaxes and constructs, who constructed them? And for what purpose? During the Obama administration, Americans often heard the expression “manufactured crisis,” a concept explained by Obama’s White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who said: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that, it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” The clear implication is that, for the left, a crisis – whether real or manufactured – can be leveraged mightily to advance a secret agenda that society would otherwise resist or reject. Thus it is that, behind every one of today’s cults is a supposedly apocalyptic crisis that isn’t real – literally a manufactured crisis. So, the crises of “America’s systemic racism,” of “near-term catastrophic climate change,” of “the war on women’s reproductive freedom” and so on are not real. They’re leftwing manufactured crises, the response to which is the creation of these revolutionary movements that amount to full-blown cults. Marx’s Opiate Karl Marx, whose ideas lie at the core of much of what today’s Democratic Party espouses – from “critical race theory” to its many attacks on the nuclear family – famously wrote that "Religion is the opium of the people" (often translated as "Religion is the opiate of the masses”). Even though Marx as a professed atheist detested religion – after all, his very next sentence was, “The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness” – Marx ironically was responsible for creating the ultimate false “religion,” which has indeed served as “the opiate of the masses” ever since. That’s right. Whether one calls it “Marxism,” “communism,” “socialism” or “progressivism,” or any of today’s more exotic terms like “wokism” and “anti-racism,” these labels are appealing because they confer a veneer of transcendent meaning and morality to the left’s perverse causes. Of course, the high priesthood of the various leftwing religious cults – i.e., university professors, academics and other Marxist ideologues and activists – are indeed enamored of leftwing causes and seem to truly believe they represent a roadmap for achieving a more just, equitable and enlightened society. But the people actually wielding real power in America and the world do not believe in any of this. To them, these leftwing cults conveniently serve to disguise and distract “the rabble” from what the leader class is really up to, which of course is the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and glory for themselves, along with revenge on their enemies. Publicly espousing and embracing these various Marxist cults thus fosters the illusion that the leaders actually care about anybody or anything other than themselves. All of which is to say that the abundance of bizarre and dramatic Marxist cults dominating American society and media today serve as the real “opiate of the masses.” Just as communist leaders throughout the last century, from Stalin to Mao, didn’t really and truly believe in “Marxism,” or a “classless society,” or “equality for all” or the wellbeing of “the working class,” these corrupt and sociopathic political criminals, each responsible for millions of deaths, were simply obsessed with their own power and privilege. Marxist ideology was just their moral fig leaf. Likewise, in today’s America, leftist leaders don’t really believe in the secular religious sermons they preach. Barack Obama doesn’t truly believe America is an irredeemably racist country when it elected him as the first black president in U.S. history. And he doesn’t really believe “catastrophic climate change” is causing the oceans to disastrously rise, or else he wouldn’t have built a $12 million mansion right on the beach of Martha’s Vineyard, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. None of the elites truly believe fossil fuels are destroying the earth and that the vast peasant classes are all better off eating insects instead of meat, or else they wouldn’t fly hundreds of private jets to every climate-change conference held in exotic locales where they feast on the finest meats and seafood. It’s all an act – for the sake of their own power, privilege and personal wealth. So, what's the bottom line of the ruling elites, of the “Great Reset” globalists and all the power-obsessed political, cultural and corporate leaders who run America and much of the world, who somehow are able to deceive others as easily as breathing, and for whom nothing is sacred? They believe in and serve only one religion and one god. Themselves. And thus are they the most deceived of all, as they will one day realize. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb-YuhFWCr4
Op Ed # 601 The Most Defining Christmas In US HistorySat, 12/24/2022 - 01:36 — cvcadminBy Capt Joseph R. John, December 21, 2022 December 25, 1776 – Washington Crosses the Delaware American Patriots repeatedly demonstrated their desire to be free from the foreign domination by Great Britain by sacrificing all to establish the Republic for the “Cause,” and they fought for the “Freedoms” outlined in The Bill of Rights.
After a series of defeats that resulted in thousands of the 30,000 soldiers in the Continental Army deserting the “Cause”; General George Washington referred to the battle for freedom from Great Britain as the “Cause” in his personal notes. With such heavy desertions, the Continental Army stood on the verge of losing the Revolutionary War.
General Washington pleaded with his soldiers not to leave, however they were not being paid, needed shoes to protect themselves from the snow and ice, lacked warm uniforms, and food was in short supply. The General’s pleas to his troops not to depart were ignored. Only 2,500 do or die Patriots in the Continental Army remained loyal to General Washington.
On Christmas Day, General Washington wore his full-dress uniform because he did not expect to survive the engagement. Prior to departing to engage the 1,400 Hessian German soldiers in Trenton, New Jersey, General George Washington called for the reading of the following from Thomas Paine for the 2,500 members of the Continental Army:
“These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country, but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
On Christmas Day, a very heavy rain and sleet storm hit the area. General Washington led the 2,500 Continental soldiers across the frozen Delaware River. The crossing should have taken two hours, but it took nine hours instead because of heavy winds and sleet. The soldiers assembled on the foreign bank of the Delaware River, and General Washington led the Continental soldiers to Trenton. Many soldiers did not have shoes and they left a bloody trail. The heavy storm was a blessing in disguise since it covered the advance of the Continental troops on their way to Trenton. At 8:00 AM on December 26th, the 2,500 Continental soldiers arrived in Trenton, and General Washington launched a surprise attack on the Hessian soldier’s garrison. The Hessian Colonel in charge was not ready for the attack, he lost his life in the battle, and the engagement led to a decisive victory for the Continental Army. Many of the Continental soldiers had witnessed the Hessian soldiers viciously kill and behead their comrades in an engagement in New York, but showed grace toward the Hessians who surrendered. The victory in Trenton changed the course of the war. The thousands of Continental soldiers who had melted away to be with their families on Christmas, returned to rejoin the Continental Army and supported General George Washington until the British Army was defeated at Yorktown. Today there are “Sunshine Patriots” elected to Congress who are doing little to prevent another foreign power, Communist China, from dominating America’s trade relations, from having a heavy influence on America’s foreign policy, from dominating America’s media, and from working to overthrow the US Constitutional Republic, in order to turn the nation into a Socialist State. At the same time, former members of Congress are being well paid to lobby for Communist China, and the occupant of the Oval Office consistently fails to oppose Communist China’s aggressiveness toward the United States because of his family’s corrupt business and financial relationship with Communist China.

Op-Ed # 600 Biden/Obama Administration Leaves Combat Marine Veteran Behind In Prisoner Exchange, Swaps Woke WNBA PlayerFri, 12/23/2022 - 15:11 — cvcadminBy Capt Joseph R. John, December 14, 2022 This was just another of Obama’s bad trades to free terrorists. Previously, Obama traded 5 Taliban Radical Islamic Terrorist leaders who were incarcerated in US Prison in Gitmo for US Army deserter, Bowe Bergdahl, who pleaded guilty to desertion and expressed his hate for the USA. Those 5 Taliban Radical Islamic Terrorists leaders are now in control of the Radical Islamic Terrorists Regime in Afghanistan. This time, the Biden/Obama administration swapped a Russian Terrorist and Arms Dealer, "The Merchant of Death", Viktor Bout, age 55, who was convicted in 2011 on charges of conspiring to kill Americans and he was serving a 25-year sentence in a US Federal Prison. The Merchant of Death will now again acquire “Lethal Arms” and sell them to Terrorists worldwide at a profit for Russia, enabling the Terrorists to kill Americans in the United States and internationally. The swap for Viktor Bout was not arranged to free a 52-year-old former decorated US Marine, Paul Whelan, who served his country in combat in Iraq. In December 2018, Paul Whelan traveled from his home in Michigan to Russia to attend a friend’s wedding. While there, he was arrested on trumped up espionage charges, in another of Russia’s wrongful detention and hostage diplomacy operation. Paul Whelan was tried and sentenced to 16 years in prison for espionage; he had already served 4 of those 16-years. Instead of swapping the US Marine for The Merchant of Death, Viktor Bout was instead wrongfully traded for Brittney Griner, a woke black LGBTQ WNBA pro basketball player who said she hates the USA. Brittney Griner has been jailed in Russia for 9 ½ months. On February 17, 2022, Griner arrived on a flight at a Russian airport, and was arrested while her luggage was being inspected by Russian Customs Officers for bringing drugs into Russia. After her trial on November 6th, Griner was sentenced to 9 years in prison for drug possession. Biden told the press he was under a great deal of pressure from black women, and no doubt from the radical LBGTQ community, to swap the woke basketball player who hates the USA for the Merchant of Death. The Biden/Obama administration was prepared to leave the same US Marine behind for the seond time, prioritizing instead to exchange the woke WNBA basketball player alone for Victor Bout. The Biden/Obama administration previously left Paul Whelan behind in another prisoner exchange; saving a US Marines is obviously not a priority for the Biden/Obama administration. The wrongful swap resulted in public disappointment, with thousands of Americans registering their disappointment on Social Media of the unfair treatment of the former US Marine Combat Veteran by the Biden/Obama administration.

Op Ed # 599 The 123rd Army-Navy Football Game Is Scheduled On December 10, 2022Thu, 12/15/2022 - 15:57 — cvcadminBy Capt Joseph R. John, December 7, 2022 The first Army-Navy game that was played on December 2, 1890, returns this coming Saturday. It is one of the greatest rivalries in football history. In the 132-year history of the Army-Navy rivalry, 122 games have been played. Annually, the Army-Navy game is always a popular national attraction for football fans, Annapolis and West Point graduates, for extended family members of Naval Academy and Military Academy Alumni, and for the 23 million Veterans who served Honorably in the US Armed Forces.
This year, the 123rd Army-Navy game will be played on December 10, 2022, in Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. The game will be broadcast on CBS-TV at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time. Navy won the game last year, with a 17-13 triumph. For the 122 games played to date, Navy leads Army in the number of games won, 62–53, with 7 ties.
It will be the last football game for the First Class (Seniors) Midshipmen and Cadets. In just six short months, those football players, and thousands of First Class Midshipmen and Cadets in the stands will be deployed worldwide to jointly protect millions of Americans watching the Army-Navy Game! The Army-Navy game day is the only day of the year that Naval Academy graduates and Military Academy graduates are not supportive of each other. The Naval Academy Class of 1962 has watched 64 of the 122 Army-Navy games played to date. Even when they were deployed on active duty overseas, the annual Army-Navy game was watched by them on broadcasts of the US Armed Forces TV Network.
By clicking on the below listed link, you will be able to view a video summarizing five historic Army-Navy Football contests.
A more detailed history of the 122 Army-Navy Football games played to date, is listed below for your review below; that historic game summary was written by Nicolaus Mills and was forwarded to the Combat Veterans For Congress by Steve S. McDonald, USNA ’65.
We trust you will watch the Army-Navy game this year, will appreciate the Patriotism of the fans, and will notice that no football player will take a knee when the National Anthem is played.
Go Navy, Beat Army!
The Army-Navy game December 10 marks the 132th anniversary of this greatest football rivalry. The first game, played on a gridiron laid out on southeast corner of the West Point Parade Ground, was so sparsely attended that spectators could move up and down the field as the line of scrimmage shifted.
In 1890 Army had only one player with any real football experience -- Dennis Michie, [USMA1892] in whose honor today's West Point's football stadium is named. As a result Army was trounced 24-0 by a Navy team that had been playing football since 1886. The next year Army hired a part-time coach, played a series of early-season games, and with Michie (who died in the Spanish-American War) once again leading the way, Army avenged its earlier loss by a 32-16 score. Both teams could now claim bragging rights. Their competition had gotten off to the perfect start. Five years before the advent of the modern Olympics, the two service academies had turned their new athletic rivalry into front-page news. The Army-Navy game, as those reporting it noted, quickly became as much about character as physical skill. "Pluck was the most conspicuous feature of the game of football at West Point on Saturday between the cadets of the Naval and Military Academies," an 1890 account observed. "Where bravery was so common and so notable it would be unfair and unjust to cite one man as braver than another." The public's response to that first encounter worked to the advantage of both schools, and they went out of their way to make sure their rivalry remained consistent with the military values they sought to display on the gridiron. When in the wake of the 1893 game, which drew a crowd of 8,000, animosities between the two academies reached such a fever pitch that a retired rear admiral and a brigadier general came close to fighting a duel, the game was canceled for six years by order of the Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy. The lessons the cancellation taught were absorbed by both sides, and when the game resumed in 1899 on a neutral site, Franklin Field in Philadelphia, before 27,000 people, everything went so smoothly that Army and Navy officials decided that the game must be played annually. Making sure their football rivalry did not deteriorate into petty squabbles paid further dividends two years later when President Theodore Roosevelt and 30,000 fans attended the 1901 Army-Navy game. The president became so excited about the play, which featured a 105-yard kickoff return by Army's star quarterback, that at one point he left his seat and moved to the sidelines to get closer to the action. But Roosevelt was careful, despite having served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, to maintain public neutrality. At halftime he inaugurated the presidential tradition of moving from one team's side of the stadium to the other's. Since TR's time, the Army-Navy football game has always had a life of its own. In his memoir, You Have to Pay the Price, legendary Army coach Earl "Red' Blaik [USMA’20] wrote, "The primary objective of Army football must be victory over Navy. It cannot be achieved by anything less than complete dedication." For Navy's coaches victory over Army has the same priority. Coaches at both schools know that success in the Army-Navy game is crucial to keeping their jobs. How far this pressure to win goes is epitomized by the story former Army coach Paul Dietzel [as Midshipmen, we called him Pepsodent Paul] tells in his autobiography, Call Me Coach, of a dinner party at the home of Gen. William Westmoreland [USMA36],later Commander of American troops in Vietnam, who while Superintendent of West Point hired Dietzel in 1962 to revive Army's football fortunes. "There's one thing you'll need to understand right from the beginning," the general's wife, Kitsy, told Dietzel. Then, turning around, she flipped up her skirt to reveal a pair of blank panties with "BEAT NAVY!" printed on them in bright gold letters. In 1944, when Army, led by its All-American running backs "Doc" Blanchard [USMA’47] and Glenn Davis [USMA’47], [Army’s quarterback was Arnold Tucker USMA’47 from Miami High] was ranked No.1 in the nation and Navy, with a line superior to Army's, was ranked No.2, they played an epic game, won by Army, that helped sell more than $58 million in war bonds. At the game's conclusion, sports' columnist Allison Danzig wrote, "The country can now return to the normalcy of fighting the most terrible war ever inflicted upon mankind. This Army-Navy game has passed into history."
When the Army-Navy game of 1963 was canceled as a result of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, it was played a week later at the request of the Kennedy family, and the coin that President Kennedy would have flipped to decide which team received the opening kickoff was sent as a gift by Secretary of the Army Cyrus Vance to Navy's winning football Captain Tom Lynch [USNA‘64]. The following year, with the Vietnam War in its early stages, retired President Dwight Eisenhower [USMA’15], then living in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, put his own stamp on the Army-Navy game. Ike had desperately wanted to be a football star, and in 1912 he was heralded as one of the best running backs in the East. A knee injury ended his football career and kept him out of the 1912 Army-Navy game, but over the years, Ike maintained his interest in Army football. When he was asked by a cadet interviewing him for West Point's student-run Pointer magazine to send the 1964 Army team a telegram on the eve of the game, he happily complied. The telegram was designed to rally Army's players, who had lost five straight games to Navy, then led by All-American quarterback and future Dallas Cowboys star Roger Staubach [USNA’65]. But what emerged from Ike's telegram was much more than a call for victory. For Ike, the essence of the Army-Navy game was the pressure it put on everyone who participated in it to hold nothing back. "You will always have what you give today. The more you give the more you will keep!" Ike wrote in a message that is as relevant today as it was in 1964. Army-Navy football remains a stellar attraction but it has suffered from the increased competition for fans' attention at the pro and college ranks. That doesn't, however, take away from what the game stands for. This year's game, like those of the past, marks the last time most of both teams' seniors will ever step on a football field. As they have known ever since they arrived at West Point and Annapolis, what awaits them is not a tryout in the National Football League or a lucrative job in business, but active service, which amounts to a military career commitment. In no other athletic rivalry is the price of participation higher. By Nicolaus Mills
Daniel Squier - The Times-Standard If you have memories of ABC and autumn Saturday afternoons from the 1970's, you remember Chris Schenkel sitting at his desk in the ABC studio, wearing that gold blazer with the ABC sports logo on the front pocket. You remember the image of the Prudential rock over his shoulder as he read off the scores and narrated the highlights from "The Prudential College Football Scoreboard". Long before the advent of ESPN's 'College Gameday,' there was Schenkel, as he ran down the list of big games. Auburn-Alabama in the perfectly-named "Iron Bowl." USC-UCLA, watched by those of us who lived on the east coast with a sense of envy as they battled in the warm California sunshine, while we endured the last crisp winds of autumn, signalling the onset of winter. You remember Woody and Bo, stalking the sidelines during the Michigan-Ohio State game, a game that every year, seemed to have an impact on the national championship picture. Schenkel even made it a point to mention the score of the Slippery Rock versus whomever they were playing -- just because he found the name of the school so intriguing. On this weekend, now commonly known as "Rivalry Week," we get to see the most intense matchups the sport has to offer. While discussing rivalries, we have to remember what makes them such compelling viewing. The history, the traditions, the stories of players, coaches and fans who have colored the landscape of college football with tales that are retold every year, and never seem to get old. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is home to the longest enduring rivalry in college football: Lehigh-Lafayette. Those two teams have been playing each other since 1884. Longer than Harvard-Yale, longer than Oregon-Oregon State, longer than Washington-Washington State. Longer than any other two schools in history. Why mention Schenkel, great rivalries, the excitement of late autumn matchups, that year after year, regardless of team records and regardless of whether we are an alumni of a particular school or not, bring us back to watch every year? Two words -- Army. Navy. No other college football rivalry comes close. Sure, Alabama and Georgia once again will have a direct impact on the national title picture. So will USC-UCLA. Heck, even the OSU-Michigan game, once the fiercest rivalry in the country, has title implications this year. Doesn't matter. They are not Army. They are not Navy. They are not the Corps of Cadets and the Brigade of Midshipmen, marching into the stadium, preceded by the Stars and Stripes, carrying their respective battle flags adorned with ribbons denoting every battle this nation's military has fought. These two teams have played the game annually, dating back to the first contest on December 2, 1890, a game won by Navy, 24-0. No other rivalry -- with apologies to the fantastic traditions of every one of them -- carries the national import this one does. No other rivalry is watched -- by veterans and alumni of both academies and the 99.9 percent of viewers who never set foot on either campus -- with such regularity. The pranks pulled by each academy in the weeks leading up to the game. The attendance of the President, who would split his time by sitting on each team's respective side, started by Teddy Roosevelt and curtailed following the assasination of John Kennedy a week before the 1963 game. The Navy goat. The Army mule. This is the closest we can get to a "national" game, because the two schools involved are, in the end, representative of every state, commonwealth, district, county, and parish in the country. There is the ever-present undercurrent rippling through the scenes we see, that in a few years, the young men and women on our television screens, or in front of us in the stands, will soon be in harm's way in service of their nation. The game allows us to unashamedly view virtue manifest on a playing field. "Duty, Honor, Country" sound trite, even hokey in the light of our national mania for selfishness and our penchant for screaming "me! me! me!. But when viewed through the prism of teamwork, sacrifice, courage and service, those words are brought to life when the 'Black Knights of the Hudson' take the field against the 'Middies.' The game allows us to take a step back, to view college football as it was once played -- or at least as we wish it was once played -- by young men who truly embody the term 'student-athlete,' and who play the game with a passion that is driven, not by the promise of fat professional contracts, but for pride. Army-Navy is still a week ahead, the other rivalry games take center stage this weekend, and maybe that's the best way. Army-Navy stands on its own. It is about honor, that old-fashioned-fuddy-duddy notion. It is about duty. To one's self and to one's team. It is about country, because no other college sporting event grabs the attention of a nation-wide audience when that audience has so little emotional investment in either school. Schenkel's voice can still be heard, when the skies are gray, the wind cold and raw and the football games are wrought with the passion of history and tradition. For all the pageantry each game brings to the national spotlight, only one game brings us the Armymule and the Navy goat. By the way: My Once a year reminder: GO NAVY - BEAT ARMY Steve
Op Ed #598 The Truth About Ivermectin, Once And For AllFri, 12/02/2022 - 12:27 — cvcadminBy Capt Joseph R. John, November 30, 2022 In 1987, Ivermectin was approved by the FDA as-safe-and-effective drug for human use; its medical use was honored as a wonder drug for preventing and curing malaria by being awarding the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015. Ivermectin has been routinely used as a malaria preventative in the continent of Africa for over 35 years, in the same way Americans routinely use aspirin to cure headaches. Ivermectin in general and routine use throughout Africa has also been highly effective in preventing the infection of the Wuhan Virus in the general population throughout the continent.
Ivermectin is a very safe and “inexpensive” medication, and if it had been prescribed for patients infected with the Wuhan Virus in the US, it would have saved millions of lives from the deadly effects and the debilitating injuries from the experimental test Gene Therapy mRNA injections. Those unsafe injections were forced into the bodies of 230 millions Americans by Corporations, Medical Organizations, Hospitals, State/County/City government Agencies, Law Enforcement Agencies, First Responders, the US Government Agencies, and members of US Armed Forces, if the recipients of the injections wanted to remain employed by their employers. The experimental test Gene Therapy mRNA injection has been mislabeled as a vaccine; in accordance with the 100-year scientific definition of vaccines, that injection was never and is still not a vaccine.
In US Senate testimony, Dr. Harvey Risch, a distinguished professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health presented proof that treating the Wuhan Virus with Hydroxychloroquine (proven in 367 scientific studies) and that Ivermectin (proven in 92 scientific studies) have been shown to be safe and highly effective in curing the Wuhan Virus. Yet Dr. Anthony Fauci (Dr. Death) continues to penalize any doctors or scientists who dared recommend their use to heal infected patients with the Wuhan Virus.
The above listed scientific studies on the impact of using Ivermectin as a prophylaxis for Wuhan Virus found that regular users of the drug experienced up to a 92% reduction in mortality compared to those cases that were not treated with it. https://
“None” of the booster injections, costing the US Government billions of dollars, have ever been medically evaluated for the required two years to be determined if they were safe for human use; the boosters promoted by Dr. Anthony Fauci (Dr. Death) have repeatedly injured millions of humans worldwide. Low cost and effective Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are still being rejected by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIH; there are no kickbacks from Big Pharma if those low cost preventive drugs are purchased by the US Government.

https://www.newstarget.com/
New research out of Brazil has found that ivermectin, a generic anti-parasite drug, is 92 percent effective at stopping mortality caused by the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). When used as a prophylactic, says Dr. Flavio A. Cadegiani, who tweeted about the study, ivermectin has a “dose-response effect,” meaning “the more you used, the more protection you had. (Related: Another study out of Australia declared ivermectin to be a “broad spectrum antiviral of interest.”) People who took ivermectin regularly every 15 days for at least six to eight weeks almost all survived “covid,” while those who did not were much more likely to die after the disease ran its course. The findings agree with those of Dr. Harvey Risch, an esteemed epidemiologist from Yale Medical School who testified before the Senate that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) could have saved thousands, or even millions, of lives that were needlessly lost by not using these drugs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), meanwhile, has been on the offensive against ivermectin, calling it a “horse dewormer” despite approving the drug from human use back in the 1990s. “Hold your horses, y’all,” the FDA mocked in a tweet. “Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.” Let the people have ivermectin!For some bizarre reason, the FDA and the leftists who believe every word the agency says are determined to end as many lives as they possibly can by depriving the public of ivermectin. When mocking the drug and the people who use it does not work, the government then resorts to trying to ban the drug. When that does not work, the government then tries to punish medical professionals who try to prescribe it to their sick patients. Big Tech is doing its part as well by censoring posts about ivermectin, calling them “misinformation.” The powers that be really do not want people accessing ivermectin because they know it works, and that nobody would ever take the “vaccines” if ivermectin was widely available. According to Dr. Pierre Kory, the FDA is “messaging BS” to the masses whenever it tries to “debunk” the safety and effectiveness of ivermectin. He also tweeted in response to the FDA’s horse dewormer tweet: “You are not a horse, you are not a cow, you are Big Pharma’s ass.” “Stop lying man, people are dying,” he added in another tweet to the FDA, along with the hashtag “#earlytreatmentworks.” In an article he wrote for the Brownstone Institute, Kory explained that the FDA’s tactics in opposition to ivermectin are “tried-and-true” because they come straight from “Big Pharma and other well-financed interests … aimed at discrediting cheaper generic alternatives” to their new blockbuster drugs. “Ignoring the flaws in the methodology, the media runs wild with the desired narrative, which is amplified by a well-orchestrated public relations effort,” Kory said about how the FDA and other government agencies regularly ignore or minimize research that does not favor their position. The latest ivermectin trial out of Brazil, known as “TOGETHER,” is simply the latest example of this biased approach to science, which is depriving the public of a life-saving remedy. “The dosage of the trial was far lower than everyday Brazilian clinicians were prescribing patients at the time to match the strength of the strain,” Kory further pointed out about how even the low-dose ivermectin used in the study was effective against the disease. “In spite of these and other readily apparent shortcomings, the nation’s leading media gobbled up the results. ‘Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date’ blared the Wall Street Journal, while a New York Times headlined announced, ‘Ivermectin Does Not Reduce Risk of Covid Hospitalization, Large Study Finds.'” The latest news about ivermectin can be found at IvermectinScience.com.
