People Who Complied with COVID Restrictions More Likely to Suffer Mental Health Issues: Study
by Johnathan Jones, The Western Journal174 Comments
A
recent study conducted by a university in the United Kingdom found that
individuals who fully complied with COVID-19 measures are more likely
to suffer from lingering mental health issues than those who resisted
government mandates and viewed such orders with skepticism.
The findings might be the least surprising bit of post-pandemic data out there.
But they are nonetheless hard data for individuals who desired to
make their own health choices during the madness of the pandemic era and
were vilified for doing so.
Meanwhile, that person you might still see today wearing a mask in
public — four years after the outbreak began — could need help,
according to a study sanctioned by Bangor University in Wales.
The study, which has not been peer-reviewed, was published Nov. 21.
Researchers with the school identified people who fell into two personality groups and tracked them for three months this year.
The purpose of the study was to gauge participants’ well-being following lockdowns
in the country and to find a way to ensure that when the next pandemic
comes along, as many people as possible do what is best for the greater
good.
“During the period from February 15th to May 10th, 2023, after the
lockdowns had ended, participants completed short surveys about their
well-being every 2 weeks over a period of 3 months,” reads a four-page report from four researchers on behalf of the university.
The subjects were divided into two personality types — agentic and communal.
The agent is your typical person who is more likely to be focused on success, self-determination and independence.
Picture the paddle surfer who was arrested in Malibu, California, in early 2020 — per the Los Angeles Times — for enjoying the sunshine alone on a beach as your typical COVID-era agent.
Meanwhile, the communal personality is more likely to try to not rock the boat and to believe they are looking out for others.
In the context of COVID, one might be inclined to picture this person:
There is much more nuance regarding the two personality types, but you get the gist.
“Human personality can be considered through the lens of two broad
dimensions known as agency and communion,” the authors of the study
wrote.
“Agency reflects competence, independence, achievement and is
characterised by a strong drive for control, power and influence,” they
said, “whereas communion relates to factors such as agreeableness,
social dependence, and caring and is characterised by nurturing and
cooperative behaviours.
“The impact of population health messages may be influenced by these personality traits.”
Years removed from so many of the public health warnings and science-defying mandates, those who followed them to the letter are more likely to be struggling, according to the study.
The following question was posed by the study’s authors: “What’s the cost of compliance on people’s well-being?”
The answer: “The more individuals complied with health advice during lockdown, the worse their well-being post-lockdown.”
“Increasing awareness of the risk of infection can effectively
encourage compliance, but it also has negative consequences on people’s
well-being and recovery, especially for those higher in communal
traits,” the researchers said.

To be fair, agentic and communal personality types are all around us,
so it’s not as though either personality type is superior to the other.
But when COVID spread to every country on the planet beginning in
late 2019, there were those extreme minions among us who dug in their
heels and would have been more than pleased to have seen all individual
liberties suspended indefinitely and even permanently.
Some of those heels are still stuck in the ground.
These people are more likely to be struggling, and the study suggested a way to help them in the event of another pandemic.
“Our findings suggest that, although increasing worry is effective in
driving behavioural compliance during pandemics, using such strategies
undermines people’s well-being and psychological recovery,” the
researchers noted.
The study concluded, “Specifically, people with higher Communal
traits are likely to still be suffering from the effects of the lockdown
period for some time after restrictions end.
When are you going to start asking WHY ARE ALL THESE YOUNG KIDS DYING ALL OF A SUDDEN ???
22-Year-old Duluth Football Player Dies from Cardiac Arrest During Football Workout

Source: University of Minnesota Duluth
The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) is in mourning following the unexpected death of senior defensive lineman Reed Ryan, who tragically passed away on Tuesday, November 28th, at the age of 22.
Ryan’s passing came unexpectedly after he went into cardiac arrest during a team workout on November 21.
Despite the immediate and vigorous efforts of the athletic training
team and the dedicated care of the ICU staff at St. Mary’s-Duluth,
Ryan’s condition did not improve.
According to his obituary, Ryan succumbed to a cardiac arrest caused
by a “previously undetected genetic heart condition” after a team
workout.
What has happened in the past TWO years that would make millions all of a sudden have MENTAL problems but WERE FINE BEFORE THAT TIME???
Update...11-28... another crazy lady on a plane drops her pants and threatens to go potty in the isle after being denied use of potty.
Something has made all these people go nuts in two years. You NEVER heard of all these crazy murders and people going NUTS. I mean if it didn't happen before....... WHY NOW ??
Skin-Disfiguring Parasite That Plagues Middle East, Latin America and Asia Now Detected in US, CDC Warns
by Ben Kew, The Western Journal320 Comments
A skin-disfiguring parasite has landed in America.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a
parasite known as Leishmania may already be endemic in Texas and other
southern states, CBS News reported.
The parasite, which is transmitted through the bites of infected
female sandflies, causes a disease known as leishmaniasis, resulting in
skin sores that develop weeks after the bite has occurred.
Cases of leishmaniasis typically affect individuals who have traveled abroad to tropical or subtropical regions.
However, the CDC has recently discovered 86 Leishmania cases from individuals who have no recent travel history outside America, NBC News reported.
Researchers also identified an exclusive Leishmania strain that
exhibited distinct genetic characteristics compared to cases associated
with travel. This means that the strain was likely spreading locally.
Per the CDC’s website, Leishmaniasis is a “parasitic disease that is found in parts of the tropics, subtropics and southern Europe.
“It is classified as a neglected tropical disease. Leishmaniasis is
caused by infection with Leishmania parasites, which are spread by the
bite of phlebotomine sand flies,” the website explains.
“There are several different forms of leishmaniasis in people,” it
continues. “The most common forms are cutaneous leishmaniasis, which
causes skin sores, and visceral leishmaniasis, which affects several
internal organs (usually spleen, liver, and bone marrow).”
“Sometimes you don’t even notice that you’ve been bitten,” said Dr.
Mary Kamb, a medical epidemiologist at the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention in Atlanta, according to CNN
“People could be asymptomatic and not develop anything, but when
people are symptomatic, they develop ulcers on their skin and sometimes
it starts like a little tiny volcano
with a crater in it,” she added. “We need to increase the awareness
among clinicians, dermatologists, infectious disease doctors or general
practitioners.”
Meanwhile, NBC quoted the assistant director of the molecular microbiology clinical laboratory at UW Medicine, Joshua Lieberman, assuring people that the risk of infection was “vanishingly small.”
“Our understanding of leishmaniasis acquired in the U.S. is still
really evolving,” said Lieberman. “It’s not clear to me whether the true
rate of new infections is increasing or we’re just getting better at
detecting it, or both.
“For the general public, if you’re not traveling to endemic areas, your risk is vanishingly small,” he added.
For those that do get infected, Lieberman said there are various treatment options available
“The good news is treatment is going to be much more mild for the
disease type that we’re seeing in the U.S,. but for returning travelers
who may have more severe disease or other types of infections that go to
organs or go to the insides of the nose and the mouth, those can
require toxic drugs,” he said.
Last month, The Western Journal reported
on the existence of a “parasitic brain worm” known in scientific
circles as Angiostrongylus cantonensis. According to the CDC, the
parasite was discovered in various coastal states and is believed to
have originated in Asia.
‘Hemisphere’: Secret White House Surveillance Program Allows Cops To Spy On Trillions Of US Phone Records Without Warrants
by Alicia Powe221 Comments
Even Democrats are pushing back against Biden’s police state.
US Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is blowing the whistle on a secretive
surveillance program that permits federal, state, local and Tribal law
enforcement agencies to surveil over a trillion domestic phone records
annually.
On Sunday, Sen. Wyden sent a letter
to the Department of Justice warning the Data Analytical Services,
formerly known as Hemisphere Project, illegally authorizes government
agencies to track, monitor Americans’ calls and analyze the phone
records of everyday people who are not suspected of committing any
crime, including victims of crimes.
The Democrat lawmaker called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to
publicly disclose all documents related to the Hemisphere phone
surveillance program. While the documents are not classified, the
Justice Department has categorized them as “Law Enforcement Sensitive”
to prevent them from being publicly released.
Hemisphere relies on chain analysis, a technique that facilitates
government agencies to spy on the targeted individuals as well as anyone
who has been in contact with the targeted individual without warrants.
“I have serious concerns about the legality of this surveillance
program, and the materials provided by the DOJ contain troubling
information that would justifiably outrage many Americans and other
members of Congress,” Wyden wrote
in a letter to Garland. “While I have long defended the government’s
need to protect classified sources and methods, this surveillance
program is not classified and its existence has already been
acknowledged by the DOJ in federal court.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.
“The public interest in an informed debate about government surveillance outweighs the need to keep this information secret.”
Hemisphere is run in coordination
with the telecom giant AT&T. AT&T captures and conducts analysis
of US call records for law enforcement agencies, from local police and
sheriff’s departments to US customs offices and postal inspectors across
the country.
In 2009, The White House Office of
National Drug Control Policy began paying AT&T to allow all law
enforcement agencies to probe AT&T customers’ phone records as far
back as 1987.
All calls that use AT&T’s infrastructure, a matrix of routers and
switches across the United States, are subject to targeting by the DAS
program. Information collected includes caller and recipient names,
phone numbers, and dates and times of calls.
ONDCP has provided more than $6 million to the program to date.
In
2013, the White House funding for Hemisphere was suspended after it was
exposed by the New York Times, but that same year, federal funding for
the program continued under “a new generic sounding name, ‘Data
Analytical Services,'” Wyden notes, in his letter to the DOJ. “ONDCP
funding for this surveillance program was quietly resumed by the Trump
Administration in 2017, paused again in 2021, the first year of the
Biden Administration, and then quietly restarted again in 2022.
Law enforcement agencies abusing its AT&T partnership with government agencies to circumvent laws, Wyden explained.
“One law enforcement official described the Hemisphere Project as
‘AT&T’s Super Search Engine’ and … ‘Google on Steroids,’ according
to emails released by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) under
the Freedom of Information Act,” he wrote. Although the Hemisphere Project is paid for with federal funds, they are delivered to AT&T through an obscure grant program, enabling the program to skip an otherwise mandatory federal privacy review.
“If the funds came directly from a federal agency, such as the DEA, Hemisphere would have been subjected to a mandatory Privacy Impact Assessment conducted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties, the findings of which would be made public. Instead, ONDCP provides funding for the program through the Houston High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), one of 33 regional funding organizations as a part of a grant program created by Congress and administered by ONDCP. The HIDTAs distribute federal anti-drug law enforcement grants to state and local agencies, and are governed by a board made up entirely of federal, state, and local law enforcement officials.”
Wyden, a lead sponsor of the Government Surveillance Reform Act is demanding swift congressional action on the federally funded government surveillance program.
Wyden along with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Reps. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, and Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act earlier this month to crackdown on the federal government’s “disturbing” misuse of surveillance authorities.
“Americans know that it is possible to confront our country’s
adversaries ferociously without throwing our constitutional rights in
the trash can. But for too long surveillance laws have not kept up with
the changing times,” Wyden said in a statement
announcing the bill on Nov. 7. “Our bill continues to give government
agencies broad authority to collect information on threats at home and
abroad, including the ability to act quickly in emergencies and settle
up with the court later,” he added. “But it creates much stronger
protections for the privacy of law-abiding Americans, and restores the
warrant protections that are at the heart of the Fourth Amendment.”
The proposed measure would also reform Section 702 of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows warrantless surveillance of
electronic communications targeting foreigners located outside of the
United States. While Section 702 is designed to acquire foreign
intelligence information, a massive amount of data from American
citizens is frequently collected as the foreign target is surveilled.
Section 702 is set to expire at the end of this year unless reauthorized by federal lawmakers.
In May, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in consultation with the Department of Justice released a redacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinion confirming
the FBI misused the Section 702 database over 278,000 times, including
data it collected in its search of information related to people
suspected of protesting at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, donors to
congressional candidates and protesters arrested after the death of
George Floyd.
Also, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) wrote,
“I just contacted the White House Office of National Drug Control
Policy (ONDCP) Director in response to disturbing new info related to a
mass surveillance program called The Hemisphere Project. These programs
are all about CONTROL over Americans.”
Four women were injured in a stabbing spree at Louisiana Tech University on Monday morning.
“Shortly after 9 a.m. there was a stabbing incident reported at the
Lambright Sports and Wellness Center on the Louisiana Tech University
campus. Tech Police received a phone call at approximately 9:08 a.m. and
had the suspect in custody at approximately 9:12 a.m.,” the school said
in a statement.
“The attack happened outside of the building as the victims were
leaving. The suspect then fled south toward main campus and was
apprehended by campus police without incident.” the school said.
The university referred to the stabbing spree as a “random act of violence.”
The suspect, Jacoby Johnson, 23, was charged with four counts
of attempted second-degree murder. Police reportedly previously had a
run-in with Johnson, however, details of the encounter were not
released.
According to reports,
at least one victim was slashed in the face, and other victims
reportedly have neck wounds. One victim was airlifted from the scene and
taken to Northern Louisiana Medical Center.
The Ruston Daily Leader
identified the victims as “former 3rd District Judge Cynthia Woodard,
artist Annie Richardson, and retired teacher Debby Hollimon, all of
Ruston, and Tech graduate student Dominique McKane.”
Two of the stabbing victims are in critical condition.
Joe Biden Gifts Another $10
Billion to Iran – His Total Funding to Iran Now Comes to $80 Billion
Since He Entered Office- And This is One Month After Iran-Backed Hamas
Slaughtered 1,400 Jews in Israel
by Jim Hoft598 CommentsJoe Biden and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei
On Tuesday, the Joe Biden administration extended a sanctions waiver
that will allow Iran to collect another $10 billion in funds in order
for the mullahs to fund their military operations in the region.
This comes one week after Iranian-backed Houthis attempted to shoot
down a US drone in the region and one month after Iran-backed Hamas
terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Jews in Israel and took another 240 Jews
hostage.
It was the deadliest attack on Jews since World War II.
Joe Biden ignored the massacre in order to open the door and help Iran bring in another $10 billion in the next few months.
The AP reported:
The Biden administration has extended by four months a
sanctions waiver that will allow Iraq to continue to purchase
electricity from Iran and gives Iran limited access to the proceeds to
buy humanitarian goods.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed the 120-day waiver extension
and it was transmitted to Congress on Tuesday, U.S. officials said. The
move is likely to draw criticism from Iran hawks on Capitol Hill and
elsewhere who believe the extension will reward Iran at a time when it
is coming under increasing pressure to end its support for proxy groups,
including Hamas, that are destabilizing the Middle East.
There is roughly $10 billion in Iraqi payments for Iranian
electricity currently being held in escrow accounts in Iraq, and the
waiver will allow Baghdad to maintain its energy imports without fear of
U.S. penalties for violating sanctions on Iran.
Joe Biden has now gifted the Iranian regime with $80 billion since entering the White House.
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) told FOX News a month ago
in October that Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave $3.5
billion to Iran through the International Monetary Fund several months
ago.
This was not part of the $6 billion that Biden recently gifted the Iranian mullahs.
Senator John Kennedy: Several months
ago, it wasn’t well publicized, President Biden and Treasury Secretary
Janet Yellen gave Iran $3.5 billion through the International Monetary
Fund. That’s not the $6 billion that we have objected to. $3.6 billion
dollars cash. I’ll be glad to come on your show and explain how they did
that. I objected to it at the time. I tried to pass a bill to stop it.
They rolled over me. The press didn’t pick it up. But here’s the problem
we face right now, the time to build the ark is before the rain.
But the $3.5 billion and $6 billion may be only a part of Joe Biden’s cash for Iran.
Senator Kennedy spoke out about another transfer of money to the Iranian regime back in 2021. Kennedy argued in a letter to Janet Yellen
that the Biden administration’s plan would ultimately result in China
receiving $22 billion, Russia receiving $18 billion and Iran receiving $3.5 billion.
But that’s not all; according to The Daily Signal’s calculations, Iran has received approximately $70 billion more under Biden than it would have under Trump.
The mullahs must love Joe Biden. No one has been more generous to this killer regime.
(update...nov 14... TENS of thousands PRO Israel people walk in DC and did you see any flags burning or violence.... of course not because ADULTS don't act like that.)
...
...( Pro Palestine below)
Look at the damage across this country and you weak jerks thinks it ok?
Painting the white house it ok... walking in it is not.
You have the RIGHT to protest but NOT TO DAMAGE things that ARE NOT YOURS.
World’s First Recombinant Anthrax Vaccine Seeks Approval in Order to “Prepare Against Potential Bioterrorism”
by Anthony Scott173 Comments
Korean pharmaceutical company GC Biopharma has announced it has
applied for approval of its GC1109 recombinant anthrax vaccine to the
Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
According to GC Biophrama
“GC1109 contains protective antigen (PA) as its active pharmaceutical
ingredients produced by recombinant DNA technology which delivers 2
types of proteins that comprise anthrax toxin, namely, lethal factor
(LF) and edema factor (EF), into cells.”
GC Biopharma in a press release revealed the reason they’re creating
the vaccine is “in order to prepare against potential bioterrorism.”
If approved the ‘GC1109’ will be the world’s first recombinant anthrax vaccine.
GC Biopharma announced 1 Nov. 2023 that it has applied
for the marketing approval of “GC1109”, an anthrax vaccine jointly
developed by GC Biopharma and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention
Agency (KDCA), to the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).
‘GC1109’ contains protective antigen (PA) as its active
pharmaceutical ingredients produced by recombinant DNA technology which
delivers 2 types of proteins that comprise anthrax toxin, namely, lethal
factor (LF) and edema factor (EF), into cells. If approved, “GC1109”
will be the world’s first recombinant anthrax vaccine.
Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, is a Class 1 infectious
disease by the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act with a
lethality rate of as high as 97% if one is not treated early. In order
to prepare against potential bioterrorism and consequent national
crisis, GC Biopharma, under the research project supported by KDCA, has
been working on developing a recombinant vaccine for anthrax since 2002.
n July The Gateway Pundit reported Emergent BioSolution’s new anthrax vaccine for adults 18-65 was approved by the FDA.
The last time the United States had a major anthrax attack was right
after 9/11 when dozens of anthrax-laced letters were mailed to U.S.
Senators and media outlets, which resulted in five people dying and left
over 17 people extremely ill.
As the tension in the Middle East has increased in recent months some states have conducted anthrax simulation attacks.
