A wise move. A lot of people thought the US was being a bit naive to think that everything was normal after Trump practically declared war on China with his stance on tariffs.
Apparently, part of the reason is because of the Human Rights violations against minority groups in China.

Covid is very real. We do have the right to choose whether or not to take the vaccines but we should also do our parts to prevent ourselves from developing serious symptoms.

Here is a more extensive list of athletes who have suffered some sort of issue after taking COVID vaccine.

No wonder they are moving full speed ahead with the agenda. What if the whole world found about these? I guess some people would question it.
But unfortunately, I think the vast majority would just brush it aside and say "oh well, we gotta do what we gotta do", especially those familiar with the plan.
So apparently, the next move in the Covid saga is an attempt to cover-up the possibility that the vaccines are actually working opposite of what it was intended to in some people. This is how the vaccine works according to the CDC:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different-vaccines/mrna.html
In Ireland, people are dying because of "air pollution". In Brazil, there's a "flu" outbreak and they're recommending people take the flu vaccine on top of the covid one.
UPDATE 2/8/22
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/broken-heart-syndrome-
Aside from "air pollution" and "flu", add "broken heart syndrome" to the list. Amazing how what appeared to be a respiratory disease has now suddenly become a cardiovascular one.
The head of vaccine alliance Gavi, which is leading a U.N.-backed push to get COVID-19 vaccines to developing countries, said that he’s seen early signs that rich countries are beginning to withhold donations out of fears about the omicron coronavirus variant — warning any new hoarding could lead to “Inequity 2.0.”
It sounds like they just want developing nations to take more of the vaccines. In an utopia, nobody would believe there are sinister reasons for wanting to do so. However, in actual reality, it's possible that they want higher mortality in developing nations. Let's not be naive about it.
The UN has a depopulation plan outlined in its charter. It's not a secret. It's just that not everyone is aware of it.

Interestingly, if you do a google search of the meaning of the word "gospel", google doesn't like calling the Gospel "good news".

Apparently Omicron spreads " faster" than any other variants.
What exactly does that mean? That it's more contagious?
I think if they want to further that narrative, it's because they want more people in quarantine. And if they want more people in quarantine, that means they want another LOCKDOWN.
My guess is this time around, the LOCKDOWN will be more severe in length and "strength", meaning work from home, essential services only but to an even larger scale.
It might not implode the economy this time around but I think the third time will be the charm, probably next year's winter season.

A lot of stuff can happen between now and February but I still think China overreacted when the US announced its intentions to boycott.
It would appear the new trend within the pandemic is to now label covid-like symptoms as the influenza.
Why?
My guess is so that people won't lose trust in the vaccine for COVID-19.
It would appear Hong Kong is the pacesetting trailblazer when it comes to discouraging air travel.

Little Babylon to vote on this bill. The language is as follows:

Omicron is spreading faster and vaccineffectiveness may be waning per WHO.
I guess that's ok. Just take your booster and you'll be good to go. And if that "wanes", then just take one after that. Just keep boosting yourself despite the fact that https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/omicron-variant-covid-rise-who-b1976592.html the WHO noted that the emergence of omicron had prompted some countries to roll out Covid-19 booster programmes for their entire adult populations, even while researchers lack evidence for the efficacy of boosters against this variant.
That appears to be the direction this is all going.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/14/russia-veto-climate-change-united-nations/
Again, just like its partner, Russia's decisions and subsequent arguments made to support them, have sound judgment.
Using a scientific/economic issue to advance a political agenda doesn't make any sense.
Furthermore, “Positioning climate change as a threat to international security diverts the attention of the council from genuine, deep-rooted reasons of conflict in the countries on the council’s agenda,” said Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia.
And if that's not enough, The Kremlin said Tuesday that Russia vetoed the U.N. resolution on climate change because it considered it “unacceptable” for nations that had harmed the climate through swift industrial development to impose restrictions on other countries. “The climate agenda cannot be a factor containing or limiting countries’ right to development,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

So aside from governments all over the globe requiring that people get a third injection in order to have a valid vaccine passport, you also got health department websites crashing all over the place.
Also, in case you didnt know, the Covid vaccine revolution is a never-ending cause. The disease will never go away. Variants will keep popping up and people will be required to take injections in order to have the freedom to move up and about.
Not very desirable. However, the powers that be will do whatever it takes to advance the globalist agenda. Throughout the entire Covid saga, they have utilized the soft-hard approach. The bend-but-dont break defense. The push 'em just enough tactic. And it has worked.
First, vaccines wouldn't be mandatory. And voila, not only are they mandatory, but some places have covid camps for people who believe in Human Rights. Then, there wouldn't be vaccine passports. And voila, there are places where you cant leave your house without it. It sounds like an AMEX slogan but it's true. Get as many people as you can to go along with the soft approach. Then, when met with resistance, use force. Think Koalaland.
But fear not. You will have an alternative world to live in where your life in the flesh will be relegated to staying in your box as much as possible while your artificial life will flourish in the galaxy of METAVERSE or some other VR dimension.

Last week, the FDA issued a new report about the Pfizer vaccines it has approved. In all, 19 pages worth of redundancy, were apparently nullified, or at least undermined by the "Acting Chief Scientist" when she sincerely signed the correspondence, in wholeness, where:
IV. Duration of Authorization This EUA(1) will be effective until the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use(2) of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic is terminated under Section 564(b)(2) of the Act or the EUA(3) is revoked under Section 564(g) of the Act.
Is the FDA still viewing the PFIZER product as a resource to be used under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)?
The verbage would seem to indicate so since the abbreviation "EUA" is mentioned twice and "emergency use" is mentioned once, just in the closing statement.
It is mentioned once on page 1 (citation), thrice on page 3 (citation), once on page 4 (no basis for preclusion), once on page 6 (no basis for preclusion), twice on page 7 (support authorization of booster), thrice on page 8 (booster, twice for authorization), once on page 9 (terms and conditions), 5 times on page 14 (consistency-twice, scope twice, "despite the fact that it does not meet certain requirements otherwise required by applicable federal law", terms/availability), once on page 15 (issuer request for change), 4 times on page 16 (submission of CoA's, submission of quarterly reports, availability of records, post-authorization studies of target population), once on page 17 (stakeholder administration of vaccine), thrice on page 18 (providers' recordkeeping, advertisement, AND THE WHAMMY OF ALL WHAMMIES!!!!!)
Condition Related to Export Z. If the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine is exported from the United States, conditions C, D, and O through Y do not apply, but export is permitted only if 1) the regulatory authorities of the country in which the vaccine will be used are fully informed that this vaccine is subject to an EUA and is not approved or licensed by FDA and 2) the intended use of the vaccine will comply in all respects with the laws of the country in which the product will be used. The requirement in this letter that the authorized labeling (i.e., Fact Sheets) be made available to vaccination providers, recipients, and caregivers in condition A will not apply if the authorized labeling (i.e., Fact Sheets) are made available to the regulatory authorities of the country in which the vaccine will be used.
The term "Comirnaty" is mentioned in the letter but it would appear to be for naught, or perhaps only mentioned for legal purposes.
The letter also explicitly states that the "known and potential benefits" outweigh the "known and potential risks" which brings the Nuremberg Code to mind.
For me, personally, if there is a risk, of any size, there must be a choice.

Social media giant penalizes people for posting fact about COVID vaccines, more specifically, claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people.
So there it is...the internet, led by social media giants, quickly becoming the Channel of the State.
Type "channel" in blog search box for original post.
SanPavlo...the only place on earth with a 100% vaccination rate according to tabloid UOL. LOL!
Except SP! The world's only place with "100%" vaccination rate.
This person is neither a pastor, nor a Christian. Same-sex marriages are reserved for the government to grant, not the Church. Just another person doing the devil's bidding...
Withdraw from such persons, if she is even real. This newspaper, like many other publications, has shoddy articles, questionable characters, and even worse principles. Based on the images, it does appear to be fake though.
There are two types of people who believe vaccines and vaccine passports should be mandatory or that it serves any purpose other than control.
1- The ignorant, like the person who is the subject of this article, who fail to realize that by all standards, including the WHO, and the CDC, the VACCINE DOES NOT STOP THE VIRUS FROM BEING SPREAD NOR DOES IT STOP PEOPLE FROM BEING INFECTED.
A phone app is not going to make anything better or worse. All it does is prevent places from getting too crowded. And even that becomes an issue because even vaccinated people, in close proximity, in closed-off environments can further spread the disease. It goes to show that vaccine without other precautionary steps, like socially distancing and mask-wearing, can be totally for naught. The disease has a very-low mortality rate for people with no comorbidities or pre-existing conditions that are virus conducive to begin with. That MAY change with time and with new variants but right now mortality percentage remains low.
He states he is concerned that Brazil "might become the destination hotspot for the unvaccinated" when by its own data, Brazil has close to 65% vaccination rate which is good for top 10 worldwide. AGAIN, VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED CAN TRANSMIT THE DISEASE! So even if a million unvaccinated people were to show up in Brazil tomorrow(WHICH THEY WONT), that's not going to put even a small dent on that percentage total. But see, i'd rather deal with ignorance than negligence all day everyday.
2- The liars, who are simply going along with the agenda, at any cost and in wanton disregard for any thing that closely resembles truth. At this point, they dont care about Human Rights. They only care about the agenda.
I'd rather not deal with this bunch (liars) at all.
A pandemia de coronavírus levou pelo menos 100 milhões de crianças à pobreza, 10% a mais desde 2019, de acordo com um relatório do Unicef divulgado hoje, que afirma que esta é "a maior ameaça em seus 75 anos de história".
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
The vaccine passport may not be the Mark of the beast itself but consider what it does and think about whether or not it is at least a prelude, or pre-condition to the pledge.
Prior to the new order of things, there will be the Great Reset. The reset will include a new economic order that will consist of a centralized digital currency. Quite possibly, UBI will already be in effect for many UN citizens, and in order to receive any benefits from the world government, a person will undoubtedly have to be vaccinated. The vaccine passport is what would validate the person's vaccine/COVID status. The software, app, technological gadget, whatever you wanna call it, will likely include a social credit score (kinda like what they already have in China) alongside the vaccine status. If your vaccine status or social score aren't up to standard, access to the technocratic utopia will be limited. For vaccines, think about putting into your body whatever you are told to, whether it's a covid booster, a microchip, a tentacled tattoo, etc. For social score, think about not being able to do what you want. You will no longer have as much freedom as you once had. What's more important is that future plans aren't being outlined for the average brainwash victim. The elite/globalists are perfectly fine with a recklessly ignorant and oblivious majority. It's like sheep literally being led into the slaughter. Lost souls will undoubtedly "perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."
It probably isn't the the mark itself because scripture states that "The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
For all the yogis out there, and there are at least 1 billion of them, think chakras, more specifically, think about the location of the sixth chakra, or the third eye.

Im not sure if what the author wants to describe is a PHOBIA but rather an ANTI-SENTIMENT towards evangelical Christians who, spiritually, are not of this world. It really should come as no surprise. And that's probably true not only in Brazil but in the whole world just as Christ indicated would be the case. This is especially true of Christians who refuse to "conform to the ways of this world" but who instead "use this world to transform and renew their minds".
As an evangelical Christian, my purpose isn't to "gain credibility" from anybody much less from those who openly profess a disdain for Jesus, Christ, or anything related to Christianity. I dont believe it's possible to persuade someone into a relationship with God. I do believe in providing my own witness if someone ever cared to know. There are plenty who believe that evangelism is the saint's sole purpose in living. And they couldn't be more incorrect. To evangelize is what Christians are called to do just as they are called to tithe, pray, fast, sacrifice, worship, and teach amongst many other things. In fact, many err in the faith while trying to "convince" people into fellowship with God, going out of the[ir] way to "show" non-believers the way. It is written, "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted." We must be very careful when handling the gospel outside the Body for obvious reasons. "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. "
It is true that the charismatic movement has taken ahold of some congregations and thus taken away from the veracity of gifts bestowed upon believers by the Holy Spirit. Mrs. Bolsonaro's actions appear genuine and in accordance with the scriptures. The joy expressed by her is itself a fruit OF the Spirit.
Whether or not the type of hate she received is a matter of persecution can be argued but no one can dispute the fact that such reactions were purely negative. After all, what harm is there in someone leaping for joy, in the midst of her inner circle after what she considered to be victory and a deed of God? When is it wrong to give glory to God? The answer is never.
The answer, however, to the hate she experienced can quite simply be attributed to envy, a negative force. Humankind is so entrenched in selfishness that the mere sight of something positive is reason enough to spew hate. That's how deprived our generation has become.
A perfect example of what Paul described in the first chapter of his letter to the Church in Rome which was used to describe romans at that time but which certainly fails not to describe our generation in these last days.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
I dont think people are afraid (phobia) of Christ or christians for that matter. It would seem they are more "allergic" to them and vice-versa. And although unpleasant, annoying, and at times toxic, I find it all to be fitting, especially in these last days where the sheep and the goats are being separated.
For whatever consolation the baby christian might need, remember that it is good for the world to see you as "different". Consider the reverse:
If the world loved you, and saw you as its own, only then would it approve of you.

Come on now, it's just the winter olympics. It is and always will be simple entertainment. Besides, should people be travelling all over the place nowadays given the numerous Covid variants?
China preaches against bullying but its narrative at times sounds quite extreme itself.
There is no need for threats over trivial matters like sports. Credibility stock takes a hit.
UPDATE
https://www.un.org/press/en/2021/ga12391.doc.htm
Apparently the UN thinks otherwise but I still dont think sports and politics/globalization is a good mix.
Abdulla Shahid (Maldives), President of the General Assembly, said the draft resolution on sport and the Olympic ideal urges countries to observe the Olympic Truce — an ancient tradition of halting conflict in order to give the Games’ athletes and spectators safe passage. Emphasizing that the world’s common destiny draws together every national flag and background, he said nations should use sport as a tool to support dialogue and reconciliation, striving for a peaceful world aligned with the principles and values enshrined in the United Nations Charter.
I get the gist behind the idea but i still think that humanity can and should unite on more unquestionably and undeniable issues that pose more of a risk against the goals of the UN. After all, sports is entertainment and it involves competition which can be divisive. I dont think much emphasis should be placed on trivial matters when dealing with the future of the planet.
As far as the truce itself, I thought that would go on without mentioning.
Oh, but https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/us-officials-boycott-beijing-olympics-cnn-2021-12-06/ the US appears poised to not show up. And they do have the right to do that.
Im of the opinion that such an act by Joe Brinden would be something most people would expect... Trump to pull? And he says " I don’t think about the former president”. Well, maybe subconsciously, he does wish to emulate him strangely enough.
China responds immediately with hostility by suggesting the US would "pay a price". https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/china-says-us-diplomatic-boycott-winter-olympics-could-harm-co-operation-2021-12-07/
That's like getting mad over a video game. You can have fun without the most popular kid. Besides...perhaps it could serve as quite the foreshadowing...
Think of the headlines...
"US excludes itself from world event."
"Biden asks for cooperation, fails to show up to humanitarian event"
"American exceptionalism flagrant, fouls up Olympics"
"UN extends a hand, US turns its back"
I think the representative of the Russian Federation summed it up best.
" The Olympic ideals remain as relevant as ever and can help foster harmony in today’s complex world but sport should not become a political tool or an instrument of intrigue, such as blackmail, and it must never be used as an instrument of power involving sanctions."

A vaccine mandate for private-sector workers across New York City will take effect this month, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday.
The expansion of de Blasio's "Key to NYC" vaccination program, effective Dec. 27, will cover 184,000 businesses, he said. Vaccinations are already required for hospital and nursing home workers – and city employees including teachers, police officers and firefighters. A vaccination mandate for employees of private and religious schools was announced last week.

O próprio chair do Fed, Jerome Powell, disse na semana passada que acredita ser apropriado discutir na próxima reunião do banco central o encerramento total de seu programa de compras de títulos alguns meses mais cedo do que o esperado, em meio a sinais de persistência da inflação alta nos EUA. Isso poderia abrir caminho para alta nos custos dos empréstimos.
The main reason why inflation is noticeable, going to get more noticeable, and no longer "transitory" is because of all the printing that took place by way of the couple trillion dollar bills that were passed this year. If they stop the buyback now that may lead to higher inflation because all the money is already been pumped IN. Raising rates may help contain inflation but then the bubble has already been blown up so like Legarde said earlier, why fix the problem now when it's only gonna get worse? How can you raise rates when an economy is loan-based?
It's almost as if they (the FED) WANT inflation. However, devaluing currency, like China used to do and still does to a lesser extent, is only constructive when there is LOW circulation. Devaluing currency when there is HIGH circulation is a recipe for disaster!
Consider the following USDCNY chart for a look at how the currencies appear to be exchanging places:

The downward trend (USD) for the last 5 years is obvious.

OPEC decides to maintain production as scheduled.
But what if Omicron wreaks havoc? That is sure to reduce demand.

I find it hard to believe they will let any "variants" go to waste. Any and all COVID-related news can and will be used to augment the crisis.

They kept the government from shutting down so it's pretty much a given that they will raise the debt ceiling.
But just for two months?? That's not kicking the can far enough down the road.
Also, tying it to the NDAA? Under what pretense? That not doing so can cause a national emergency? That's a valid argument but would that mean that the Act would have to be invoked?
A modified commercial drone may have been responsible for an attempted attack on a Pennsylvania power substation last year, the first reported case of a drone assault on the United States' energy infrastructure.
Authorities believe a DJI Mavic 2 drone with a thick copper wire tethered to it found in June 2020 was likely intended to disrupt operations 'by creating a short circuit to cause damage to transformers or distribution lines,' according to a joint intelligence bulletin from the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center released October 28.
Who would have known that such a small invention is capable of wreaking that much havoc.
People need to step up their drone game.
While this is the first attempt on an energy utility reported by federal authorities, a swarm of five or six large drones flew in a restricted area at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Tonopah, Arizona, two nights in a row in September 2019, David Hambling, author of Swarm Troopers: How Small Drones Will Conquer the World, reported in a 2020 Forbes article.
Im not sure a lot of people knew about that either.
Lemme find out Joe Brinden bucking...
"I don’t accept anybody’s red lines," he said of Russia’s demands.
I dont think Vlad expects Brinden to "accept" or even agree with them.
He just expects Brinden and NATO to abide by them.
