We all have learned that those unwilling to go along with the official narrative will be silenced and censored. Whether the information is “true” or not, the free flow of information will always be a cornerstone of basic human rights.
We should all be able to hear, read, or otherwise absorb any information we wish and decide for ourselves if it rings true to us or not. That’s discernment and it will take critical thinking. Since the political overlords want obedient slaves, they will silence those who promote the idea of thinking for themselves. That’s why president Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil has been silenced.
Facebook confirmed that a video of Bolsonaro had been removed on Monday. The president of Brazil offered statistics and data showing that those who take the COVID-19 vaccines are ending up with what looks like AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) stating that “our policies don’t allow claims that COVID-19 vaccines kill or seriously harm people.” Alphabet’s YouTube took the same step later that day, claiming the video had violated “our medical disinformation policy.”
Bolsonaro merely shared concerns after reading the data provided by government officials in the United Kingdom:
What we do with that information and how we interpret the data is on us. This censorship is out of control, however, we need to know who Bolsonaro is as well. He’s a member of the ruling class. He is promoting the idea that COVID-19 does exist when there is far more evidence out there that they simply renamed the common cold so people would be scared into taking a shot. In 2020, Bolsonaro tested positive for Covid, praising hydroxychloroquine for helping to limit his mild symptoms, and, earlier this year, he vowed not to take any coronavirus vaccine, despite pledging to work to inoculate Brazilians, according to this report by RT.
What kind of a person vows to give the injection they think could be causing AIDS to others while promising they will never take it all while pushing the official narrative that the scamdemic does exist? This story makes little sense, almost like it was scripted to read this way as some kind of a psychological operation.
Stay alert and don’t trust any ruler. Never put anything past them. This guy vowed to vaccinate the entirety of Brazil. They are all working against us.
We all need our critical thinking now more than ever and exposure to information is what is going to help us see through these lies and this system of slavery they are constructing around us with gusto. We, as human beings, need to evolve beyond needing a master or ruler or politician to control our lives. We are sovereign and it’s time to start acting like it.
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority…There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. –Daniel Webster
There may be a need for endless Covid booster shots according to Moderna Chairman Noubar Afeyan.
“It may well need an annual booster, potentially varying on a year-to-year or every few years basis as the virus varies,” Afeyan told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.
“We just don’t know how this virus is going to travel from being a pandemic all the way to potentially an endemic virus we have to get used to living with,” he said.
“I think if we end up there, there will be a continuous need for boosting,” he added.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky last Friday said the US may change its definition of “fully vaccinated” as booster shots become available for everybody.
“Should people who are eligible for a booster now get one by a certain time frame to maintain their fully vaccinated status?” a reporter for the Associated Press asked Fauci and Walensky last week.
“We have not yet changed the definition of ‘fully vaccinated.’ We will continue to look at this. We may need to update our definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ in the future,” Walensky said.
Americans will be forced to get Covid booster shots every year in order to work and travel.
In a world of ever-growing uncertainty, both civilians and armed professionals alike are seeking low-cost, high-value options for both armor and load carriage. We recently had a chance to review the OTTE Gear LVZ OVT (Low Viz/Overt) plate carrier. This kit was designed from the outset for the needs of both consumer types, effectively bridging the gap between slick armor carriers and full-blown, direct-action-oriented plate carriers. (More on the differences between the two here.)
OTTE Gear is most well-known for their technical apparel but has made recent strides to flesh out their product line with a series of bags and are now making their first foray into nylon gear with the LVZ OVT. In an age where modularity is king among plate carriers, many manufacturers have gone to an a la carte method of purchase where plate bags, cummerbunds, shoulder straps and placards must all be bought separately. While this does offer a high degree of out-of-the-box modularity, it often drives the final price up and can overwhelm less-savvy buyers who may not know exactly what they need (or know they need a fully scalable setup with multiple components). We appreciate the value that OTTE brings to the consumer by selling the LVZ OVT as a complete kit – the base plate carrier, cummerbund, three-mag shingle and padded shoulder straps all come included for a base price of just $160. For that price, you get a complete carrier that allows you to load for bear. As it arrives, the LVZ OVT has space for a whopping 11 AR-style magazines: four on each arm of the cummerbund, plus three more on the included front panel. Those slots can, of course, be used to stow anything else that will fit in them such as medical supplies, E&E kits or personal radios. On the latter note, the included shoulder pads come with Velcro-adjustable loops for cable routing. There are also laser-cut slots in the front plate bag for attaching QASM buckles so that chest rigs or clip-on placards can be attached or detached quickly. The only thing this carrier lacks in terms of attachment is loops or laser cuts for MOLLE attachment, which precludes the use of a direct-attach assault pack or hydration carrier. But these things fall outside the carrier’s intent of being a low-visibility carrier intended for concealed use or short-duration emergency response (or other low-signature tasks like plainclothes surveillance). For these types of applications, hook-and-loop pouches for everything from ammo to handcuffs are now widely available and can be attached via the liberal amounts of loop-side pile tape sewn into the LVZ OVT.
This feature is part of what we really like about the OTTE carrier – because Velcro-style attachment of pouches and cummerbunds is so prolific in the marketplace, the LVZ OVT plays nice with components from other companies as well. So if you purchase the complete OTTE kit and find that the included components just don’t fit your needs quite right, the combination of Velcro and QASM compatibility means you can plug and play a host of other parts from other manufacturers. To test this capability, we made a point to integrate some other products onto our LVZ OVT setup. First, we wanted to maximize the plug-and-play capability of the hook-and-loop tape all throughout the system. We especially appreciate that the included triple-mag placard has hook on the rear and loop on the front. This means you can wrap the cummerbund over top the placard to lock it in place and keep the profile low, or you can fold the cummerbund behind the placard and use the loop-tape front for patches and pouches. We added a couple of patches as well as a Tactical Tailor low viz Pistol Mag Pouch.
We also wanted to see how the LVZ OVT did with “sandwich in” ancillary pouches. So we stacked on a Swift Clip MOLLE Panel and Multi-mount Tourniquet Pouch from jtactical solutions and a Nairobi Knife Dangler from Parashooter Gear. The Swift Clip MOLLE Panel is a single-column thermoplastic MOLLE rack attached to a hook-and-loop covered “wing” that lets you sandwich it behind a placard or chest rig to get one extra column worth of attachment for small items like a knife, single pistol mag or tourniquet. We chose the latter, which is where the Multi-mount Tourniquet Pouch comes it. It’s a closed-flap TQ pouch that can mount via MOLLE or belt loops.
Parashooter Gear is a small company specializing primarily in tactical nylon specific to those who run AK-pattern rifles, but their Nairobi Knife Dangler is a clever and low-footprint way to get a fixed-blade knife onto your kit without taking up space on the primary front panel. It too, consists of a hook-and-loop “wing” design with an elastic sleeve on the end that is also lined with loop tape. It can accommodate a variety of fixed-blade knives, so long as you can get hook-side tape around its sheath and fit it inside the sleeve. We filled it with a Half Face Blades Disaster Jr.
Adding all these pouches, while conveniently scalable, does start to add ever-thickening layers of fabric sandwiched upon fabric. While the LVZ OVT took it like a champ, without a significant increase in overall bulk, we also wanted to configure it separately using the quick-detach feature. So we added a set of female QASM buckles and hooked in a Redwire Gear Emergency Management Rack, a laser-cut micro panel capable of being used as a placard or a standalone chest rig. We fitted our EMR with two G-Code Softshell Scorpion mag pouches and an HSGI Bleeder/Blowout Pouch. This rack can be clipped on when overt load carriage is needed and removed just as quickly to return the LVZ OVT to its slick armor-only configuration. Likewise, the OTTE shoulder straps can be removed to minimize bulk and printing under cover garments if that outweighs the need for all-day comfort.
While the included cummerbund arms sit perfectly flat when not used, we really like ability to don/doff the carrier without tearing on a bunch of hook-and-loop. So we swapped the OEM cummerbund for the hybrid QD version from Defensive Mechanisms. These offer a combination of elastic and mesh MOLLE, as well as two fast-pull QD latches that and be locked and unlocked without any crunchy tearing.
The LVZ OVT is sized for “standard” 10×12-inch armor plates in an earnest attempt to create a one-size-fits-most solution, with the adjustability of cummerbund placement able to account for most of the variance in torso sizes. The plate bags are shaped somewhere in between the old SAPI cut and the newer “shooter’s cut” plate shapes. We used a set of lightweight Level III+ composite plates from Spartan Armor Systems which fit just fine, with no sliding or flopping inside the carrier. For reference, the Spartan Plates are 9.5×12.5 inches and 1.1 inches thick. The shoulder straps themselves, underneath the pads equipped with cable loops and MOLLE slits, are also adjustable for ride height.
We’ll continue to test the OTTE Gear LVZ OVT plate carrier in both training and daily “grab-and-go” use as able but, overall, we think this carrier offers a whole lot of bang-for-buck value, especially if you’re in the market for a first-time buy or want to pare your collection of carriers down to a single, modular setup that fills both concealed and overt needs. Stay tuned here and at OTTE Gear as they continue to expand their in-house line of plug-and-play accessories for the LVT OVT line.

Thanksgiving 2021 is shaping up to be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday thanks to Joe Biden’s incompetence and corruption.
Biden’s supply chain crisis, reckless spending, endless government benefits and Covid vaccine mandates are all contributing to rising prices.
“So Thanksgiving is now less than a month away and it’s shaping up to be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday,” said MNSBC host Mika Brzezinski on Tuesday.
“The grocery store right now, I mean everything is up…this is different than even a few months ago,” Brzezinski said.
At least Joe Biden saved us 16 cents on our 4th of July cookouts!

Nearly every component of the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, from the disposable aluminum turkey roasting pan to the coffee and pie, will cost more this year, according to agricultural economists, farmers and grocery executives. Major food companies like Nestlé and Procter & Gamble have already warned consumers to brace for more price increases.
Weeks before the holiday feast, home cooks have started shopping, hoping to get ahead of shortages and price creep. “I picture a perfect storm of increased demand and lack of supply,” said Matt Lardie, a food writer in Durham, North Carolina, who has already laid out his Thanksgiving game plan and expects to have some components in the freezer by next week.
For many cooks, the biggest expense will be the turkey. By the end of the year, market analysts say, prices per pound will likely surpass the record Department of Agriculture benchmark price for turkeys — $1.36, set in 2015.
Turkey is more expensive largely because the price of corn, which most commercial turkeys feed on, more than doubled in some parts of the country from July 2020 to July 2021. Whole frozen birds between 8 and 16 pounds already cost 25 cents a pound more than they did a year ago, according to the weekly Department of Agriculture turkey report released Friday.
Who is really running the White House now? Some communist America haters for sure.
Two days after asking Joe Biden to label concerned American parents as ‘domestic terrorists’, the president of the National School Boards Association (NSBA), Viola Garcia, to a federal board overseeing student progress.
Breitbart reports:
Viola Garcia was appointed to the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) earlier this month by Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. The NAGB has oversight over the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which “is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s students know and can do in subjects such as mathematics, reading, science, and writing.”
Garcia signed the controversial letter that asked Biden for federal assistance in reviewing threats against schools and administrators to determine if they violated the Patriot Act and other hate crime laws. The NSBA’s letter followed clashes between educators and upset parents over coronavirus policies and critical race theory being taught on campuses.
As Breitbart reported, “Citing threats to school officials and local school board members that have been received in the mail and via social media, NSBA ‘asks that a joint collaboration among federal law enforcement agencies, state and local law enforcement, and with public school officials be undertaken to focus on these threats.’”
According to emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, the NSBA was in talks with Biden administration officials in the weeks leading up to sending their letter.
This morning we reported that the states of Missouri and Ohio terminated their relationships with the NSBA because of Garcia’s letter. Forty-eight more states should do the same.
Virginia – Loudoun County Public School students at multiple schools walked out on Tuesday to show their support for the recent sexual assault victims in the district.
“Loudoun County protects rapists!” the students shouted.

On May 28, a male ‘transgender’ student wore a skirt when he raped a 15-year-old girl in the girl’s bathroom at Stone Bridge High School. The school district’s policy allows male students to use the girl’s bathroom and vice versa.
According to reports, the same transgender student committed a SECOND sexual assault at another Loudoun County school after he was transferred out.
Not only did the school officials cover up the incidents to ‘prevent controversy over their transgender policy,’ but they also arrested and prosecuted the girl’s father after he tried to sound the alarm at a school board meeting.

Apparently, the delta plus variant for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that hasn’t been isolated, verified, or purified is now in Massachusetts. The mainstream media and ruling class need you to desperately believe that this time, this variant is more transmissible than all the other ones.
Known as AY.4.2, the so-called “delta plus” variant is believed to be even more contagious than the highly transmissible delta variant. One expert said it could be 10% to 15% more contagious than delta. So far, the mutation has been detected in Massachusetts and some other U.S. states, according to Outbreak.info.
Testing for the Delta variant usually has to be done on a more precise level involving polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing platforms, which tend to be more accurate and sensitive to genetic variations within the coronavirus. But that level of testing also takes more time than a rapid response test which may return results within a half-hour but miss out on some of the biological details. Those faster diagnostics may be able to sense whether or not you’re generally infected with COVID, but not necessarily whether it’s the Delta strain specifically that’s afflicting you. -Fortune
And when those rapid tests do pick up COVID, is it actually COVID? Research and evidence has shown it’s the common cold; or any coronavirus. So if COVID-19 doesn’t even exist, then delta plus doesn’t exist.
Back in 2005, Larken Rose wrote a book titled How to be a Succesful Tyrant. It sure looks as if someone has read atleast this section of his book:
That doesn’t mean the ruling class will stop trying to get people injected by keeping the fear alive. Put nothing past them and be prepared for anything.
“Ever since at least about May or June here in the U.S., the vast majority, so almost 100% of the virus that we are seeing here, is the delta variant,” said Dr. Mark Siedner of Massachusetts General Hospital. (Does anyone believe he’s going through the hoops of using more precise testing? Or are they just making it up as they go? “Now the delta variant is starting to change a bit. New offshoots, almost like grandchildren.”
“I think it’s a little early to say what the significance of this so-called delta plus variant is,” said Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “But I don’t think there is cause for concern at this point that they are either resistant to the vaccine or more likely to be transmitted than any other of the delta variants.”
That vaccine resistance line is going to come in handy when/if they release something that will actually do some real damage to the human body. This way they can get around the “vaccines” not working. Any new variant is going to have to be vaccine-resistant in order to make their hoax scamdemic continue to work. Don’t worry, new “vaccines” will pop up and you’ll be expected to take those too.
Stay alert and be prepared for anything. One of these variants, at any time, could be the one that we all need to be concerned about because it could be one that they use to hurt and sicken people or force another lockdown. Never put anything past the sadistic psychopaths that demand your enslavement and obedience. They care about nothing else.
