Executive branch warns U.S. is OUT OF MONEY, almost out of time to help Ukraine
The White House warned that Washington is "out of money and nearly out of time" to provide more military aid to Ukraine unless Congress facilitates additional funding and support.
The warning came in the form of a letter to leaders of the legislative branch issued on Dec. 4. According to the correspondence penned by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Shalanda Young, the government had already gone through about $111 billion appropriated for Ukraine.
She pointed out that there is "no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment," adding: "We are out of money – and nearly out of time."
"I want to be clear: Without congressional action, by the end of the year we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine and to provide equipment from U.S. military stocks."
Young warned that failure to provide more funding would "kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield, not only putting at risk the gains Ukraine has made but increasing the likelihood of Russian military victories."
According to the OMB director, the Department of Defense (DoD) had used up 97 percent of the $62.3 billion it received as of mid-November. Meanwhile, the Department of State had run through all of the $4.7 billion in military assistance it received. This includes money for humanitarian, economic and civilian security assistance, she noted.
"We are out of money to support Ukraine in this fight. This isn't a next year problem. The time to help a democratic Ukraine fight against Russian aggression is right now – it is time for Congress to act," concluded the letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
More tax dollars to be fleeced from the people
Young's letter followed an October request from the White House, which asked Congress to act on a $100 billion supplemental funding request. The executive branch argued that the request "advances our national security and supports our allies and partners."
The October request identified border security, Israel, Ukraine and U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific as items to be funded. About $61 billion was earmarked for Ukraine, with $30 billion of that allocation being used to restock DoD equipment sent to support the country after the February 2022 onset of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Johnson earlier expressed confidence that funding for both Ukraine and Israel would be approved. However, he stressed that the two should be handled separately. Funding for Ukraine is linked to changes in U.S. border policy, a red line for many Democrats in both chambers of Congress.
"Of course, we can't allow [Russian President] Vladimir Putin to march through Europe, and we understand the necessity of assisting there," said the House speaker. "If there is to be additional assistance to Ukraine, which most members of Congress believe is important, we have to also work on changing our own border policy."
The latest pressure to approve additional funding also followed the leak of an unreleased DOD report about the defense industry. According to the Guardian, the draft was turned over to POLITICO and contained grim warnings about America's defense industry.
According to the yet-to-be-released National Defense Industrial Strategy (NDIS), the U.S. defense industrial base "does not possess the capacity, capability, responsiveness or resilience required to satisfy the full range of military production needs at speed and scale." It also noted that while Washington has built the best weapons in the world, it could not produce them quickly enough.
"This mismatch presents a growing strategic risk as the U.S. confronts the imperatives of supporting active combat operations," the NDIS stated.

JUST IN: The Internal Revenue Service Warns American Taxpayers to Prepare to Face Demands to Return Funds Received for Pandemic-Era Relief
The IRS has sent more than 20,000 letters notifying taxpayers that their requests for a tax break during the pandemic have been denied, and the agency will be seeking repayment.
The IRS has alerted taxpayers that, as part of its effort to crack down on questionable claims for pandemic-era tax credits, the agency will be mailing letters instructing taxpayers to return funds that were “erroneously claimed and received.”
The most recent warning from the IRS, released on December 6, concerns a surge in improper claims for the pandemic-era relief initiative called the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). This refundable tax credit is intended for businesses that sustained employee payments amid COVID-19 shutdowns.
A large number of improper ERC claims were pushed by predatory promoters on unwitting businesses, with an investigation by the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) division uncovering over $2.8 billion of potentially fraudulent ERC claims.
The surge in improper Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims led the IRS to declare a moratorium on processing new ERC claims in mid-September. At that time, the agency stated it had referred thousands of ERC cases for audit.
Not only that, but the IRS said that it was undertaking “enhanced compliance reviews” of existing claims made prior to the moratorium.
Those enforcement actions have now come home to roost, with the IRS putting taxpayers on notice that 20,000 letters have been sent telling them that their ERC claims have been disallowed.
The 20,000 letters are just the first step, however, with the IRS telling taxpayers that another round of notifications is coming—this one demanding a return of funds wrongly claimed and received.
“With the aggressive marketing we saw with this credit, it’s not surprising that we’re seeing claims that clearly fall outside of the legal requirements,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement.
“The action we are taking today is part of an initial set of steps in our compliance work in this area, and more letters will be going out in the near future, including both disallowance letters and letters seeking the return of funds erroneously claimed and received,” he added.

Elon Musk Unveils New Plan to Rescue X (Formerly Twitter)
Elon Musk might have a strategy to rescue X, and it doesn’t include advertising, free speech, or financial services.
There are strong indications that Musk is shifting his focus—and his business’s bullish outlook—toward AI.
Musk has openly acknowledged that he and his co-investors paid more than they should have for what was then called Twitter. The social media company is still unprofitable, with decreased revenue and increased debt.
Last week, Musk literally told Disney and other boycotting advertisers to “go f**k yourselves.”
The left-wing media interpreted this as a corporate suicide note, especially by those tasked with reviving the business Musk acquired.
However, an alternative perspective suggests that Musk is already downplaying the significance of that business, at least in terms of revenue and valuation, in favor of the OpenAI competitor he introduced earlier this year.
On Tuesday, X.ai Corp. disclosed in an SEC filing that it’s raising up to $1 billion in equity funding, with nearly $135 million already banked. No investors were listed.
It’s not clear if X.ai falls under the same corporate umbrella as X Corp. (formerly Twitter), which is part of X Holdings Corp. A spokesperson for X Corp. stated that they “can’t share anything” regarding this matter.
It would be logical to assume that they share a structural foundation, especially considering that X.ai is anticipated to utilize the flagship’s content and user base.
For those who contributed to financing the Twitter takeover, this could imply having both direct equity exposure to X.ai and the opportunity to make additional investments.
If X.ai were to eventually reach the valuation that OpenAI currently holds, especially considering the early stage of generative AI adoption, the shareholders who were involved in the “Twitter” acquisition would find themselves in a highly profitable position.
Musk noted: “I have never lost money for those who invest in me and I am not starting now.”

OpenAI researchers warn board that rapidly advancing AI technology threatens humanity
The recent dismissal, then reinstatement, of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman may have had something to do with rumors concerning a company breakthrough in artificial general intelligence (AGI), which some say threatens humanity.
In the days leading up to Altman getting canned, it is alleged (but not yet proven) that several staff researchers at OpenAI wrote a letter to the company board describing a major breakthrough called Q*, pronounced as Q-Star, that supposedly allows AI robots to "surpass humans in most economically valuable tasks."
Reuters reported on this alleged breakthrough, which is believed to have played a significant role in causing the board to abruptly fire Altman. There are also concerns that commercializing this advanced AI model is moving too quickly and without any consideration about the socio-economic consequences of unleashing this kind of thing on the world.
According to an inside source, Q* is able to solve mathematical problems but only "on the level of grade-school students." Even so, Q*'s perfect performance on the math problems were enough to excite the researchers, who wrote that they are "very optimistic about Q*'s future success."
Before getting canned, Altman had also reportedly made reference to Q* at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in San Francisco. Here is what Altman said at the conference:
"Four times now in the history of OpenAI – the most recent time was just in the last couple of weeks – I've gotten to be in the room when we sort of push the veil of ignorance back and the frontier of discovery forward."
Goldman Sachs says AI will lead to 300 million human employee layoffs
There is apparently an internal battle taking place at OpenAI with opposing sides looking at the matter in an ideologically different way. Some want such technology to advance as quickly as possible while the other wants to hit the brakes a little bit, at least until more is known about what the technology will do to the world.
The recent Hollywood actors' and writers' strike is an example of the concerns of the opposing side, which sees the threat of AI in terms of taking away human jobs. If an AI robot can write a script and also act it out, why pay actual human actors millions of dollars to do the same thing?
These are the types of dilemmas that employees in many sectors increasingly face as their jobs become obsolete. Is it fair or even morally right to unleash AI robots when doing so threatens to collapse the human economy and leave everyone desolate and starving?
Thankfully for humanity, AI robots are still far too primitive compared to a real human mind – and the hope is that they will stay that way. Even Q* still only operates at a grade school level, but what happens when it becomes "smart" enough to compete with a college student or a PhD?
"AGI has the potential to surpass humans in every field, including creativity, problem-solving, decision-making, language understanding, etc., raising concerns about massive job displacement," one report explains about the technology.
Banking giant Goldman Sachs released a report recently warning that upwards of 300 million human jobs will be lost throughout the West because of AI.
Because of Altman's support for advanced AI of this capacity and scope, it is believed that the board removed him to try to shift the company in a different direction. Altman is back, though.
"I suspect AI is something akin to UFOs – something used to scare people but without any concrete evidence to back the propaganda," wrote one skeptical commenter about the sudden AI phenomenon.

Mortgage rates fall back again, nearing 7% and fueling some refinance activity
Mortgage rates fell for the sixth straight week, hovering just above 7% and reigniting some life back into the refinance market.
The rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage decreased to 7.03% from 7.22% the week prior, Freddie Mac reported Thursday. That’s its lowest level since mid-August and down three-quarters of a point since the end of October.
While some would-be buyers still stuck to the sidelines despite the dip, homeowners looking for a chance to refinance were quick to move.
"When rates began to rapidly drop, purchase applications rebounded initially, but this improvement in demand diminished in the last week," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, in a statement. "Although these lower rates remain a welcome relief, it is clear they will have to further drop to more consistently reinvigorate demand."
‘A depressed housing market’
As rates dropped back in the last six weeks, some buyers came back to the market. But the latest dip in rates didn’t spur additional activity.
The volume of purchase applications fell 0.3% on a seasonally adjusted basis for the week ending Dec. 1, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). Overall, purchase activity remained 17% lower than a year ago.
"The rate environment has created constraints in the industry, and it's been a depressed housing market going on a year now," Jeffrey Ruben, president of WSFS Mortgage, told Yahoo Finance. "We’re hanging in there, working off of depressed levels, but we’re not seeing a rebound anytime soon."
The lull in activity is mostly due to the shortage of inventory on the market, which have kept home prices elevated. It’s also driven buyers to take on more expensive monthly payments.
Since May 2022, a buyer of a typical for-sale home listed at the prevailing fixed-rate mortgage with a 20% down payment was giving up over a quarter or more of their typical household paycheck, Realtor.com found. By October, it required 39% of the typical household income to purchase a home – and that share is expected to average 36.7% for 2023. Typically, that figure has averaged 21%, Realtor.com added.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: ‘If Trump Wins the Election in 2024, We Will Lose Our Democracy, Flag and Constitution’
On Wednesday, Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) asserted on MSNBC’s ‘The Last Word’ that if former President Donald Trump were to win the 2024 election, it would put “our democracy, our flag, our Constitution, and the future of our children” at stake.
Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell asked her: “What are the stakes for the world when they hear Donald Trump say he would be a dictator on day one, if he is elected president again, and what do dictators like Vladimir Putin hear in that statement?”
Pelosi replied: “They hear a comrade in arms, but the fact is, he is not going to win.”
“Nothing less is at stake in this election then our democracy, and that democracy means your freedom to have access to health insurance, your own decision-making about your family’s size and timing and the rest, your freedom to have education, read of books that aren’t banned, your ability to be who you want to be in this country,” she said.
“So democracy is a value, a principle, but it is also translating into your kitchen table about the freedom that you have to make your choices about how your family goes forward,” she added.
“As far as dictators and other countries, they recognize what they see in the former president. They see somebody who shares their concern, their distain for the press,” she continued.
“The press is the guardian of our democracy, on the First Amendment, freedom of the press tells the story of what is going on, accountability, transparency, and governance in our society. They want to suppress the press, want to characterize it in a negative way,” Pelosi said.
“He is trying to crawl back into the White House, but we cannot let that happen. I say that with all due respect in the world for the people who may have voted for the former president but they have to make a decision, think about our democracy, our flag, our Constitution, the future of our children in a democratic state that is a model to the world,” she concluded.

Facebook and Instagram enabled child trafficking – lawsuit
Facebook and Instagram display sexual content to minors and serve as a “marketplace for predators in search of children,” according to a lawsuit brought against the platforms’ parent company, Meta, by the state of New Mexico’s attorney general.
Filed on Tuesday, the suit alleges that underage users of both platforms – who can sign up without age verification – are shown adverts linking to adult pornography sites and directed to accounts posting “images of sexual intercourse and sexualized images of minors,” even when the child has expressed no interest in this content.
“The office’s investigators found that certain child exploitative content is over 10 times more prevalent on Facebook and Instagram than it is on Pornhub and OnlyFans,” Attorney General Raul Torrez said in a statement.
Investigators from Torrez’s office created a number of fictitious profiles to test Meta’s enforcement policies. The team opened a pair of accounts posing as a 13-year-old girl and her mother, who they implied was “interested in trafficking her daughter.” Both accounts hit Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit within days, and the mother’s account was bombarded with “inappropriate expressions of love or interest” in her daughter, none of which were flagged by Facebook.
The daughter, named ‘Issa’ by investigators, was added to a chat group in which members shared “pornographic videos and naked photos of underage girls,” which remained active after numerous reports to Facebook’s moderators.
“Issa’s messages and chats are filled with pictures and videos of genitalia, including exposed penises, which she receives at least 3-4 times per week,” the lawsuit noted, explaining that none of the men responsible for these messages have been banned by Facebook, despite being reported.
The daughter’s profile and that of another fictitious teen girl were then shared by an anonymous account advertising underage girls who were “selling” sex, while another Instagram account purportedly belonging to a 13-year-old girl was followed by accounts whose profiles suggested that they sold child pornography.
While the lawsuit included some redacted images of the content seen by investigators, it stated that other images had to be omitted as they were “too graphic and disturbing.”
The suit seeks $5,000 from Meta for each alleged violation of New Mexico’s Unfair Practices Act and accuses the firm of breaching public nuisance laws by placing the health and safety of “thousands” of New Mexico children at risk.
“Child exploitation is a horrific crime and online predators are determined criminals,” Meta said in response to the suit. “We use sophisticated technology, hire child safety experts, report content to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and share information and tools with other companies and law enforcement…to help root out predators.”
The lawsuit was filed less than a week after Meta announced that it was strengthening its child safety features, following a series of reports by the Wall Street Journal revealed that Meta was failing to curtail the activity of pedophile networks on Facebook and Instagram.

Penn loses $100 million donation over antisemitism hearing

A University of Pennsylvania donor is withdrawing a gift worth around $100 million to protest the school's response to antisemitism on campus.
The big picture: The final straw for Ross Stevens, founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, was Tuesday's widely criticized congressional testimony by Penn president Liz Magill.
Details: The gift from Stevens, a Penn undergrad alum, was given in December 2017 to help establish a center for innovation in finance.
It was in the form of limited partnership units in Stone Ridge, with the current value estimated at around $100 million.
Stevens, in a letter from his lawyers to Penn, alleges that the school has violated the terms of the limited partnership agreement, including its anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies.
Referring to Penn, Stevens' attorneys write: "Its permissive approach to hate speech calling for violence against Jews and laissez faire attitude toward harassment and discrimination against Jewish students would violate any policies or rules that prohibit harassment and discrimination based on religion, including those of Stone Ridge."
Backstory: This isn't the first time that Stevens has used his pocketbook to express disagreement with Penn policies. Earlier, he redirected a different $100 million gift from Penn's business school to the University of Chicago.
According to the New York Times, Stevens "changed his mind because he thought the school was prioritizing D.E.I. over enhancing the business school's academic excellence."
What's next: The letter concludes by offering to discuss the matter further. But a source close to the situation tells Axios that the current intention is to withdraw the gift.
Read the letter from Stevens to Penn.

Saudi prince dies in plane crash – media
Saudi Prince Talal bin Abdulaziz bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has died aged 62, the Saudi monarchy announced on Thursday. Reports in Arabic media claim the prince was killed in a plane crash.
The Saudi royal court announced the prince’s passing in a short statement, saying that funeral prayers for the deceased royal would be performed at the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh.
Prince Talal bin Abdulaziz was the son of Prince Bandar and the grandson of the first Saudi monarch, King Abdulaziz. Born in 1961, he was a lieutenant colonel in the Royal Saudi Air Force and served as assistant intelligence chief at the GIP, the Saudi intelligence agency, from 2004 to 2012.
While the court’s statement did not reveal a cause of death, Lebanon’s Al Mashhad news outlet reported that the prince died when his F-15 fighter jet crashed during a training exercise with the air force earlier on Thursday.

US to back Ukrainian weapons ‘transition’ – White House
The US government has set up an interagency “deal team” and will appoint a special adviser to Ukraine’s Ministry of Strategic Industries to help increase weapons production and counter corruption, the White House announced on Wednesday.
The announcement came after the first day of the ‘US-Ukraine Defense Industrial Base Conference’ in Washington, which gathered over 300 government and industry representatives with the goal of “significantly increasing” the production of weapons and ammunition inside Ukraine.
The State Department will send a congressionally-approved adviser to Kiev to “support and accelerate Ukraine’s transition to an interoperable military force, combat corruption, and attract foreign investment in critical industries,” the White House said.
Defense, Commerce and State Department officials already on the ‘Ukraine Deal Team’ will “support industry, Ukrainian, and other partners” with “guidance” on potential deals and export requirements for Kiev’s military industry.
The term “interoperable” has traditionally been used to denote a military using former Soviet equipment and doctrine ‘transitioning’ to NATO standards. Over the past 20 months, the US and its allies have sought to replace Ukraine’s battlefield losses with Western weapons and equipment, with each new system being hailed as a potential “game changer” in the conflict with Russia.
According to the White House, the Pentagon and the US military industry have already provided Ukraine technical data to “start local production of some of the FrankenSAM projects,” referring to the practice of using Western munitions in Soviet-designed air defense systems.
The initiative comes as President Joe Biden’s request to send more than $60 billion in additional funding to Kiev appears to be stalled in Congress. On Wednesday, the Senate failed to advance the bill because Republicans objected to US-Mexico border provisions that Democrats bundled with military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry representatives at the conference have circulated a “comprehensive” list of items they would like the US and its allied to send them for free, including F-18 fighter jets, C-130J Super Hercules transport planes, helicopter gunships, and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) air defense systems.

ANTHONY POLITO, 67, WHO KILLED THREE STAFF AT UNLV BEFORE BEING SHOT DEAD BY COPS HAD 15-PAGE ZODIAC KILLER THEORY ON WEBSITE THAT ALSO LISTED 'POWERFUL ORGANIZATIONS BENT ON GLOBAL DOMINATION'
SOURCE: DAILYMAIL.CO.UK
A professor who shot dead three workers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, wrote a 15-page theory on the Zodiac killer and posted about ‘powerful organizations bent on global domination.’
Anthony Polito, 67, died in a confrontation with police after he opened fire on the fourth floor of the Lee Business School at 11:45am, prompting a massive response from law enforcement.
Officials are still looking into a motive but said Polito was rejected from a teaching position at the school and may have known someone there. Police are currently searching Polito’s home in Henderson, Nevada.
Polito, who used a handgun in the massacre, had connections to schools in other states and was on staff at East Carolina University in North Carolina between 2001 and 2017.
In addition to the three staff members killed in the rampage, another person was wounded and remains in critical condition.
Anthony Polito (pictured) has been named as the deceased suspect in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas shooting.
The killer maintained a website about his life, describing himself as a 'Semi-Retired University Professor' and posting various topics - including his claim that decoded cryptic messages sent by the Zodiac killer.
In another section of his website, Polito wrote about his love of Las Vegas, conspiracy theories and also posted fawning praise from former students.
'I have lived in Georgia, Iowa, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Virginia and Wyoming. In my travels, I especially enjoyed Jackson Hole, The Outer Banks, Key West ... and, of course, Durham,' he writes on the biography section of the site.
There is another section titled: 'Powerful Organizations Bent on Global Domination!'
Among the organizations listed are the Rothchild family, Bilderberg Group, the International Monetary Fund and Economics Department of MIT.
In that section, Polito posted a link to a website created by far-right wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Polito also listed his musical tastes, which range from crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to folk musicians such as Willie Nelson and Joni Mitchell.
In a section dedicated to his favorite movies, Polito states that each selected film 'argues a truth with powerful eloquence.'
Some of his favorite movies include Michael Moore's Roger & Me, Oliver Stone's conspiracy-laden JFK and the film version of Ayn Rand's conservative epic, The Fountainhead.
Polito lists among the 'Great Minds of the Twentieth Century,' Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein and George Soros.

Los Angeles Lakers Superstar LeBron James: ‘It’s Ridiculous That We Haven’t Changed Anything; It’s Even Easier to Own a Firearm Now’
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James called for increased gun control in the wake of a handgun attack that occurred on Wednesday at the gun-free University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus.
ESPN quoted James as saying:
It just goes back to what I said before about guns in America. I think it’s such a longer conversation, but we keep dealing with the same story, this same conversation every single time it happens, and it just continues to happen.
The ability to get a gun, the ability to do these things over and over and over, and there’s been no change is literally ridiculous. It makes no sense that we continue to lose innocent lives, on campuses, schools, at shopping markets and movie theaters and all type of stuff. It’s ridiculous.
“The fact that we haven’t changed anything — it’s actually been easier to be able to own a firearm. … It’s stupid,” he added.
James did not give an example of how purchasing a firearm has become easier.
The point-of-sale background check system–the National Instant Criminal Background Checks System (NICS)–has not been repealed or shut down, and a background check through that system is and has been, a federal requirement for gun sales at retail points of sale.
It was already reported that UNLV’s campus was a gun-free zone. The school’s policy website points to state law–NRS 2o2.265–which prohibits firearms on campuses, and the university policy mirrors that statute.
A gun-free zone has 100 percent gun control.

Dr. Peter McCullough Warns: Get Prepared For Chinese Pneumonia Outbreak
In the past few weeks, many in the medical world have begun to look closely at disturbing developments in China and the relative lack of response from the government.
Writing in Dr. McCullough’s substack, John Leake says:
U.S. government agencies are fond of talking about “Pandemic Preparedness,” passing extravagant legislation such as the PREP ACT, and throwing hundreds of billions at the development of vaccines against viral respiratory illnesses—vaccines that are useless at best.
And yet, these agencies are, at the moment, strangely silent about a mysterious pneumonia that is affecting large numbers of children in two regions of northern China that are about 500 miles apart—Beijing and Liaoning Province. This situation reminds me of the conspicuous fact that the U.S. Consulate General office in Wuhan—which is presumably full of spooks—apparently reported NOTHING about the mysterious pneumonia that started circulating in that city in the autumn of 2019.
While the American government appears to be doing nothing, Dr. McCullough is urging Americans to be prepared. John Leake says:
We will be monitoring the situation in China closely, try to ascertain as quickly as possible what is causing the pneumonia.
In his position of Chief Scientific Officer for the Wellness Company, Dr. Peter McCullough is conducting investigative scholarship to ascertain what medications are the most safe and effective for conditions such as the pneumonia now circulating in northern China. Our ultimate objective is to ascertain if already available, FDA-approved medications could be useful in treating this pneumonia in the event it spreads to the United States.
Given the appalling performance of so many doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our readers may find themselves in search of a new doctor who has demonstrated greater discernment. Such readers may consider a membership with the Wellness Company, whose Virtual Care program offers prompt access to a trusted medical provider to treat your illnesses and obtain prescriptions.
The Wellness Company is also offering Home Medical Kits to treat a range of infections, including COVID-19, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, cellulitis, yeast infections, and tick bites. The Kit contains ivermectin, amoxicillin, a Z-pak, and other medications, as well as a guidebook and a doctor visit by telemedicine to aid in the proper use of these medications. Additional or different medications may be added to the Home Medical Kits when appropriate.
The developing situation in China could be the next pandemic or it could be the next psy op or it could be nothing more than a problem for the Chinese.

Kids Developed Headaches, Stomach Pain, Sleeping Issues While at Vacation Home Near Multiple 5G Antennas
Image Credit: Tower photo credit: Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation
Three children and their parents rapidly came down with multiple health problems — including sleep difficulties, headaches, stomach pain and skin rashes — when they stayed at a summer home 125 meters away from a cell tower with multiple 5G antennas, according to a new peer-reviewed case study.
The study, published Dec. 2 in the Annals of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, reported the family members’ symptoms subsided swiftly after they returned three days later to their regular home where they were exposed to much lower levels of 5G radiofrequency (RF) radiation.
The children — ages 4, 6 and 8 — also experienced emotional symptoms, such as heightened irritability, while staying at the summer home close to the 5G tower.
This is the sixth scientific report on the human health effects of real-life 5G radiofrequency (RF) radiation written by Dr. Lennart Hardell, a leading scientist on cancer risks from radiation, and Mona Nilsson. It is also the authors’ first report on how 5G affects the health of young children.
Hardell — an oncologist and epidemiologist with the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation who has authored more than 350 papers, almost 60 of which address RF radiation — said 5G radiation is especially a concern for children.
He told The Defender:
“It is well known in medicine that children are more sensitive to toxic agents than grownups. Moreover, they have a longer life expectancy so chronic health issues may develop over a longer time.”
5G’s real-life impact on children’s health has not been very well studied yet because the technology’s implementation is “quite new,” Hardell said.
Miriam Eckenfels-Garcia, director of Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Electromagnetic Radiation & Wireless program said the 5G rollout is “another example of financial and industry interests trumping the protection of our children’s health.”
She told The Defender:
“As in this case study, we see the negative health impacts of this technology and instead of applying the precautionary principle until we can determine the full scope of health and environmental impacts, our government agencies — captured by industry — are allowing 5G to be installed anywhere and everywhere.
“CHD is doing all it can to push back against this dangerous development through litigation, education and advocacy, and we are grateful to scientists like Dr. Hardell and Mona Nilsson for shining light on these cases.”
Kids had severe physical, emotional symptoms
The family stayed at the summer home July 29 through Aug. 1.
The parents completed a questionnaire about the symptoms they and each of their children experienced during their stay, before their stay and after returning to their permanent home.
They also ranked the severity of each symptom on a scale of 1 to 10. All three children had sleeping problems and emotional symptoms — labeled as “irritability” and “emotive” — ranked at a level 10. The study also reported:
“Two of the children got diarrhea, pain in the stomach and headache graded between 8 and 3 on the severity scale. The child aged 6 years who did not get pain in the stomach and diarrhea, got skin rashes graded 8 on the severity scale.
“… The symptoms appeared soon after the arrival to the house and disappeared after they came home, where radiation levels were considerably lower.”
Nilsson, managing director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, said she found it “very concerning” that the children got headaches and had sleeping problems.
