Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach
We’ve just seen, up close and personal, the huge problems with the declaration of a State of Emergency by some potentate from City Mayor to US President.
Legislators, this is a total usurpation of your legitimate power as specified in the Constitution, which defines the responsibilities and authority of the three branches of government.
Basically, any elected official can say:
“I now personally declare that I have Emergency Powers because of the State of Emergency that I just personally declared to be a real authentic Emergency! Bow before me, mere mortals!”
We’ve just seen this being done by the US President in order to give him power to do things like write the biggest check in US history to student debtors.
How can that be? Legislators, the President is taking the power of the purse away from the Senate and the House and claiming the authority to write a check of any amount to anyone he pleases! That’s totally wrong!
Not to mention Governors claiming the power to keep people in their homes, to force them to take medicines, to close down their businesses, and a host of other restrictions because of the COVID emergency.
And my own fear?
My fear is that these jerkwagons will declare a “climate emergency” that will authorize them to take any “climate” action they want—close down industries, ban cars, require heat pumps, the possibilities are endless.
So … how can we fix this badly broken system?
Here are my proposals:
First, we need to define what an emergency actually is. The dictionary definition is good:
e·mer·gen·cy
/əˈmərjənsē/
noun
a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action.
“your quick response in an emergency could be a lifesaver”
This is a useful definition. For example, they’ve been warning us about the impending climate Thermageddon™ for fifty years. None of their warnings of catastrophe have come true.
And for 50 years they’ve been claiming that we need “immediate action”, right away … and despite us basically doing zip, no climate calamities have happened.
So by definition, the situation with the climate is not an emergency. Not unexpected, doesn’t require immediate action.
In any case, we need clear legislation at both the State and Federal level specifying things like:
• What constitutes an emergency.
• Who can declare an emergency.
• How long does the declaration last.
• What emergency powers the government can legally take.
• What emergency powers the government can not legally take.
With that as prologue, if I ran the circus I’d make the rules like this.
• Adopt the definition of “emergency” given above.
• Only allow a State of Emergency to be declared by a vote of 2/3 of the Legislature. If you can’t get 2/3 thirds of the Legislature to agree it’s an emergency, it’s not an emergency.
• Any State of Emergency expires 14 days after it is voted in. It can be extended twice, but only for 14 days each time, by a new 2/3 vote of the Legislature. After that, pass regular laws in a regular manner.
• No Legislator eligible to vote for the State of Emergency can be granted any emergency powers.
• No Emergency Order can contravene either the State or Federal Constitution.
• Members of the Executive Branch cannot use the State of Emergency to spend money without the approval of the Legislature.
• All Emergency Orders expire when the State of Emergency expires.
Yes, I know that’s just a rough first cut on what we need, subject to “a hundred visions and revisions before the taking of a toast and tea” … but it’s clear that we need something like that.
Because I don’t want someone from either political party empowered to say I can’t leave my home for months on end based on some bogus Chicken Little claim that “The sky is falling! EVERYONE PANIC!”.
And the current system, where the same person declaring the emergency assumes extraordinary emergency powers with no specifications or limits, that’s bull goose looney. Nothing good will come of that.
Regards to all,

first what is needed is a Rumanian christmas party … adorn a few lamposts for the upcoming holiday season and this “problem” will self correct …
To declare a climate emergency, the government basically has to say it can control the weather with greenhouse gas emission reductions. I’d love to see the proof for that. Then, after sending a large part of the country’s industrial capacity to China, they have to show they can get the Chinese to buy in. As absurd as the first assertion is, the second assertion is even less likely to occur.
At the risk of the emotions of a few college students with high eco-anxiety, show them the change in CO2 emissions over the last 30+ years since Jim Hansen made his famous pitch to Congress. CO2 emissions – Global Energy Review 2021 – Analysis – IEA. Emissions have risen 70% and, even with a Pandemic, at best the world will barely be able to Flatten the curve let alone Net Zero.
“First, we need to define…”
If it’s one thing the post-modern left excel at, it’s word play.
It all depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.
Can’t speak for state and local governments, but Presidents cannot spend money without Congressional authorization, and just because Biden declared forgiveness of college debt he actually does not have the power to do that. SCOTUS is going to shut that down very quickly.
But of course, declaring emergency is just how the warmunists hope to prevail. Since nobody alive is ever going to notice or take note of a temperature increase of 1 deg C in the next three lifetimes, they are going instead with blaming all weather on climate change. As if the earth never experienced weather until 2022. No floods, no droughts, no fires, no storms, nothing – just utter nirvana until this very year. Of course no sentient being is going to be fooled by that, but that’s their plan.
Yes, because it’s not a plan. If they had a plan, it would be logical and consistent. We have at least 2 popular delusions to contend with: Covid19 and climate/energy policy. They both are so stupid when you really think about it. Only a massive crowd of cretins could have dreamed up two so totally idiotic routes to world domination. The politicians are like surfers trying to convince us that they are steering the wave – they represent an endless supply of gullible idiots exceptional only in their patently unjustifiable self-belief . The elites (gates, Soros, king Charles etc.) Are grossly arrogant intellectual midgets trying to lead the world to some kind of sunlit uplands…oh Christ it’s a catastrophe alright.
Be prepared for an FBI raid, Willie E.
You are obviously a MAGA man
Wanting limited government powers
And more personal freedom.
A libertarian, who may have voted for Trump in 2020
Like I did,
We can’t have that.
Not from someone living on the Left Coast.
We are living in a Marxist Revolution
Based on fear of climate change
Censorship. purges of political opponents,
and political prisoners. And we all see it.
and know it, but are often afraid to say it.
BREAKING UPDATE: Up to 50 Trump Supporters Have Homes Raided by DOJ-FBI Across the US (VIDEO) (thegatewaypundit.com)
If you really want the FBI to turn up at your door, just steal a few top secret documents and take them to your beach house. That usually does it.
Silliest and most worn out excuse yet. You are arguing the thing that we don’t actually know, and likely is not so.
We absolutely know he took documents labelled secret(at various levels). Documents he had no more right to have than you or I. I can send you the photos of the files on his rather crass carpet of you need proof.
You mean the FBI photoshopped fake photos?
Did President Trump declassify those documents?
From the same people that brought you the Russian hoax. How can anyone in their right mine still believe their crap.
BTW, those photos were of cover sheets not the documents themselves, that would have been a real violation.
Are you talking about the documents he legally declassified but the bureaucrats refused to change the labelling on?
Once Simon gets ahold of a good lie, he just doesn’t let go.
When he first got hold of them, he was president and had every right to them. Then he declassified them, which as president he also has every right to do.
After that, it doesn’t matter what he did with them.
When the President of the United States removes an item from the secure facility or authorizes that removal by others, that is a declassifying act. Markings at that point are irrelevant. All classification authorities derive that authority from delegation from the President. The President retains FULL AUTHORITY to override the decisions of any delegated official.
What I have heard rumored is he had all the Crossfire Hurricane files and kept a copy of them for later use against the FBI for their abuses and the whole raid was the FBI retrieving the evidence to bury it. (He issued an order to the Department of Justice two days before he left office ordering the declassification of all such files – an order they disobeyed which should lead to all of them being terminated!)
Or more directly tried for RICO and TREASON, a crime with no statute of limitations.
Tell me, does Trump pay rent for the space he’s taking up in your mind?
When Trump took the documents he was president. Also while president he declassified the documents. So neither taking them nor keeping them was a crime.
On the other hand Hillary had thousands of classified documents on her home server that was exposed to foreign hacking. Using a private server for government business has always been against the law.
Beyond that, she and her staff erased 10’s of thousands of e-mails that she know were being sought by the congressional investigative committees.
Once again, Simon invents crimes for those he hates, and totally ignores bigger crimes from those he agrees with.
“When Trump took the documents he was president. Also while president he declassified the documents. “
Absolute nonsense. If you didn’t live under a rock you would know every legal beagle who has been asked about this says it is just not possible and in fact is laughable for him to say he did this. He is not God. He doesn’t just wave a hand.
“So neither taking them nor keeping them was a crime.”
Ohh yes it is which is why the FBI raided his property. Watch this at 2:20

“On the other hand Hillary had thousands of classified documents on her home server that was exposed to foreign hacking. Using a private server for government business has always been against the law.”
Yep and your team bleated about this for years. Funny how you have gone quiet now it’s Trump. But Hillary was investigated and so she should have been. So why is Trump immune from investigation? Truth is he’s not. And it will be very interesting so see what comes of this.
Poor, poor Simon, once again he prefers lies to reality.
The president is in charge of setting security classifications. If the president says something is no longer classified, it isn’t.
As to to your so called legal beagles, they are a lot like your so called scientists. They only get that name because you happen to agree with them.
Trump did nothing wrong, Hillary broke the law. The fact that you are fine with this says nothing good about your judgement or morals.
looky here.
Biden’s DOJ Doesn’t Want To Disclose ‘Classified’ Mar-A-Lago Documents—Except Through Selective Leaks To Leftist Media; the federalist
If you believe that propaganda you will believe anything.
But….If Biden has committed a crime specify what it is?
It has happened many times already, do you live under a rock?
Nope I don’t and I read both sides. As far as I am aware Biden has never been prosecuted for a crime. But come on, let’s hear what you got?
The lack of the ruling Democrats prosecuting one of their own(ed) is proof of nothing.
Umm Biden is over 70. Plenty of time for him to break the law no matter who is in power. Come on sunsettommy please unload your “many times” Biden has been prosecuted for a crime?
Considering the number of laws that exist, he had to have committed several crimes every day, just like everyone else.
The lack of prosecution means nothing. The ruling elite, which includes both parties and much of the permanent ruling bureaucracy, protects its own.
Biden is over 80!
That’s a large part of the problem: never been prosecuted.
“10% for the big man”
He doesn’t live under a rock, he’s just psychologically incapable of seeing anything he doesn’t want to see.
As usual, Simon only sees what he wants to see, and will tell any lie in order to make sure his supply of free stuff isn’t threatened.
When you can’t counter what I am saying with facts (which is often)you always defer to some lame comment about nothing. What free stuff are you talking about? I don’t want or need any free stuff. You really are just a low level tyre kicker aren’t you.
So far your claims have been limited to whining that everyone else is wrong and that all the smart people agree with you.
What is there to counter?
Taking 10% of a multi-million dollar bribe from the ChiComs. Violating his sworn oath to uphold the Constitution by openly and admittedly doing illegal “work arounds” on a number of occasions. & etc.
Poor Simple Simon.
I see your comments are a COMPLETE FAILURE here, too.
Empty trash talk is about the limit of your ability.
Truth is not trash. But if you think I’m lying, please specify where I have. Happy to back any of what I have said up.
Truth is not trash, nor does it have anything to do with anything you write.
Then some FBI Inspector Clouseaus will turn up to give you some newly-minted Russia collusion pulp fiction pages to round out your collection.
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Collusion!!! Thanks for bringing that up. I see a judge threw out Trumps attempt to get Clinton on the collusion thing. You can read all about it here. OWCH!!!
https://www.axios.com/2022/09/09/judge-dismisses-trump-lawsuit-clinton-2016
Yeah being appealed, but not a serious attempt to “lock her up”
(She’s waaaay too shifty for that)
Also, Trump cast the net on the whole cabal just to get them on record –
“Trump in March accused Clinton and dozens of other Democrats“.
The judge really had no legal basis to work on, as he said –
At its core, the problem with Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint is that Plaintiff is not attempting to seek redress for any legal harm,”
and this –
“Middlebrooks said Trump exceeded the legal statute of limitations”
As with cases brought before Human Rights Commissions everywhere –
“the process is the punishment”.
It really is fascinating how Simon’s view of the law changes depending on who is being prosecuted.
“Simon’s view of the law changes depending on who is being prosecuted.”
You are a class A hypocrite. You wrote these words above…
“Trump did nothing wrong, Hillary broke the law. “
Tell me again… who is it changes their view depending on the person being prosecuted?
If you, or I, or anyone breaks the law, then that person should be prosecuted. I don’t care if they are the president or a pauper. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law.
Some are more equal 😀
I don’t know if you are as dumb as your posts make you sound. Perhaps that’s why you need to rely on free stuff.
As I and many others have pointed out, Trump broke no laws.
As I and many others have pointed out, Hillary broke many laws.
That is the core difference between the two cases. The fact that you can’t live without hating Trump, is your problem, not mine.
Clinton was investigated so what’s your problem with getting to the bottom of the stealing public records thing with Trump?
Even if they were declassified(and they weren’t) it is still an offence to have taken public records. Which is why the National Archives came after him. They asked him nicely. He refused. Then they asked again and he handed over some getting his lawyers to sign a document saying that was all of them. Then hello, we find he still has a stack in a safe at his beach house. That is not the actions of a man who declassified anything. It is the actions of a man who thinks he is above the law.
Well Simon, if Trump is just given the same judicial outcome of “nothing to see here” as Hilary received, that would be completely fair, consistent and equitable, wouldn’t it?
What’s not to like with that outcome?
Except he might just be guilty. Just an idea…
So far there isn’t a shred of evidence that he has broken any law. But what the heck, he’s evil so he must be guilty.
Poor Simon, when caught in one lie, he immediately changes the subject.
Hillary was investigated, and extensive evidence found that she had broken the law.
Trump stole documents that he had every right to possess?
They were de-classified, and making copies is not “taking” public records.
He turned over many boxes of documents and invited them over to check the rest.
What is it with you and your absolute inability to actually tell the truth about anything?
All documents were declassified by Trump and they were hard copies not the original electronic files. No raid was necessary. 15 boxes were already returned and the others were locked up and guarded by Secret Service personnel. They were safe. You are obviously not interested in what Hillary Clinton did with her in-house server containing CURRENT classified documents. That makes you a hypocrite.
Can you not read. I wrote. “If you, or I, or anyone breaks the law, then that person should be prosecuted. I don’t care if they are the president or a pauper. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law.”
That includes Clinton. By the way just the fact they have conceded this special master thing shows they do not treat Trump like they do other mere mortals.
And no Trump did no declassify anything (except his mind). There is no paper trail and all that worked with him in the WH say he did no such thing. It’s a Trump lie. Come on, are you saying you can’t spot a Trump porky now?
And you got a link that shows these highly classified docs were being protected by the secret service, coz that’s the first I’ve heard.
But if you stuff them down your pants in a secured repository and take them home nothing happens if you are a Democrat operative.
Well explain? Ive never heard this one.
Why am I not surprised?
Clinton advisor Sandy Berger was caught stuffing classified documents into his underpants and trying to sneak them out of the national archives. His only punishment was to lose his security clearance.
Between September 2 and October 2, 2003, Sandy Berger, a Democrat operative and former National Security advisor to President Clinton stuffed classified documents down his pants, in his socks and in briefcases. They were stolen from a secure area in the National Archives.
Berger subsequently destroyed some of the documents by cutting them up with scissors. He also illegally removed handwritten notes from the secure area. When confronted he lied about his actions.
The maximum penalty for the crime to which he was allowed to plead is 1 year in prison and a $100,000 fine. He got a $10,000 fine, 2 years probation, community service and lost his security clearance for 3 years. Separately, he was disbarred in Washington DC.
Following this sad tale, Berger was rehabilitated (although never really called out) in Democrat circles and the Democrat Party. He became a Leftist media darling, appearing on numerous news shows as a national security expert.
Interesting. But I see he lot his job and was fined. Didn’t work in the Whitehouse again. If Trump never serves in the Whitehouse again and gets a 10k fine, I’d be happy with that.
FU2
Oh and I see he got 100 hors community service. Now that I’d like to see Trump do.

Willis: I disagree that the dictionary definition is sufficient because it is still highly subjective. I would limit executive action authority to natural disasters meeting some objective criteria (area affected, population affected, etc.), or an act of war (e.g., 9/11). All executive actions of an emergency nature should require legislative authority. In the case of natural disaster or an act of war, Congress should be required to authorize the action within five days of the declaration of an emergency. Every other type of emergency should require legislative authority before any action is taken of any money is spent. I don’t think that is unreasonable. However, I have little doubt the defenestration of federalism will continue apace.
Thanks, Tom Number One. Works for me …

The only “Emergency” I can think of that allows Executive Orders that shouldn’t have an “expiration date” would be the Nuclear Football.
Once Congress can meet and act, there is no excuse for the Executive Branch to have the authority of the Legislative Branch.
(Though, in Brandon’s case, I hope they have 2 or 3 Easter Bunnies between him and it to remind him that his ice cream melting is NOT an emergency.)
I’ll add that there is nothing in The Constitution that would allow The Legislative Branch to delegate their responsibility to the Executive Branch via bureaucratic regulations that are, in effect, Laws.
True. Congress can’t say “Well, we give some of our Constitutional duties to the President”.
w.
“Congress can’t say”
Hasn’t stopped them, though.
The courts dont agree with you. The regulations are part of the Presidents executive powers – as given by the Acts of Congress that are passed.
Sure some regulations are only vaguely linked to the principal act but the majority arent
Then, at times, our Judicial Branch has also drifted from The Constitution.
Not to be a pessimist, but the reason we’re suffering under abusive emergency declarations is because our political system is already so dysfunctional, and the state so powerful, that the process by which these abuses might be reigned in, and the people with the will to reign them in are no longer functional or simply don’t exist.
I am highly skeptical there is a peaceful political path back from the wilderness, not least because those who have tunneled their way to power have no intention of peacefully relinquishing the power they have seized.
There is a path back but I don’t believe it will be allowed by those who seek to rule us to be particularly peaceful. That’s the choice we leave ourselves when we allow authoritarians and autocrats to overtake our institutions and eventually our culture.
My opinion, too pessimistic. I have 4 reasons why more optimistic:
Pessimist vs. optimist. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I suspect tweaking definitions won’t happen and wouldn’t have any effect anyway. Our crisis with runaway authoritarianism is much deeper than lexicography — and voters, no matter the election outcome, are powerless to abate it. Count me in the pessimist camp.
You seem to forget the 2020 lockdowns and scaremongering by Birx and Fauci was under President Trump BEFORE the election was stolen ! And it was Trump who financed a reckless nine month vaccine development process, which he actually TAKES CREDIT FOR.
Maybe in the USA they were more ruthless in enforcing ‘staying at home’, but I took precisely zero notice of UK Government suggestions not to venture out in spring 2020, I walked 5-8 miles each and every day during what was a beautifully sunny April. My sunshine-stimulated vitamin D levels developed beautifully and I had zero illness of any note during the entire shambolic fiasco.
5 of those 8 miles each day were walking to an allotment to grow healthy organic fresh vegetables. I didn’t intentionally go near anyone, but I made no detours either. I just did what I would do under normal circumstances.
I certainly contradicted government suggestions by telling every parent I came across to try and ensure that their kids were out of doors as much as possible, taking as much exercise as possible. Easier for the middle classes with back gardens of course.
I made a great effort not to agree per se with anything Bill Gates had to say about healthcare, climate or food production. I am strongly opposed to his vaccine positions, his views on climatology and his farcical nonsense about making food in factories. If he wants to go live on Mars and make food in labs from primary chemicals, be my guest, fly away and don’t come back. But we’ve lived on this planet for millennia and our guts are absolutely not adapted to eating insects.
It’s not just legislators that are to blame, Mr Eschenbach. It’s the uncontrollable billionaires who are the prime malignancy that needs lancing.
I’d be interested to see your views on what controls you think need to be placed on Mssrs Gates, Zuckerberg, Soros etc etc based on their malignant corruption of a whole raft of institutions initially designed for public benefit, now transformed into billionaire playthings.
“Maybe in the USA they were more ruthless in enforcing ‘staying at home’, but I took precisely zero notice of UK Government suggestions not to venture out in spring 2020″
In the US it was up to each state as to whether to lock down at all. I live in northwest Washington State, and we were supposedly locked down, but I was out doing deliveries 5 days a week, and no one ever asked me why I was out. They did go after some restaurants for not shutting down. As you can imagine, they were restaurants run by conservatives.
Maybe in the USA they were more ruthless in enforcing ‘staying at home’
Depending on the state. In CA they famously arrested a lone surfer for surfing on an empty beach. Several gyms were run out of business as well – not in CA, don’t remember where but you can guess how those states lean politically.
‘So … how can we fix this badly broken system?’
Having perused WE’s and other’s suggestions to this point, am surprised that no one brought up that all this tyranny is financed by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) and it’s member banks. Specifically, the former buys the government’s debt and in the process creates reserves upon which its members can create money to purchase even more debt. So unlike the Roman emperors of antiquity, our government not only devalues our money over time, but also requires us to eventually pay back the borrowed principal and interest through higher taxes and/or further monetary debasement. There’s a reason big government began with progressivism and their passage of the Federal Reserve Act.
Ha – here is a new one : A US President whose duty is to defend the constitution now breaking it himself!!!
Where I live we have an English restricted monarchy electoral system with elected legislature and an appointed Governor General – whose responsibility is to dismiss the government if the government ever acts unconstitutionally.
I suggest USA apply to join us in the British Commonwealth of Nations – accept Charles III as your political boss – and appoint a trustworthy US citizen as Government General with the powers to sack your president if he/she ever breaks the US Constitution.
Anyone with that power is not trustworthy.
I believe the Constitution prohibits a Monarchy.
Emergency powers that limit or abolish freedom are never justified. Governors have enough at their disposal without interfering with personal freedom. Personal freedoms are limited when a person has committed and been convicted of a crime worthy of jail time.
If a governor cannot work with what he has he should resign or be removed. Ben Franklin stated those who would give up freedom for safety deserve neither. Adolph Hitler gained dictatorial power by telling the legislator he could only restore order with the powers granted in the Enabling Act. Hitler promised he would use restraint. The fact the Nazi party caused the problem was not considered but the threat to the legislators was there. The rest is history.
There is another side to the use (or non-use) of emergency declarations, particularly in totalitarian governments. While they will enthusiastically declare emergencies against “threats to the state/”democracy”/soul of the nation, they have a bad record with actual emergencies. I just watched (at the behest of my son) the HBO mini-series Chernobyl. While it is just a film, the reaction of the apparatchiks to the disaster rings true to my recollection of Soviet state thought. The first imperative was to protect the butts of apparatchiks from possibility of blame, to avoid being the bearer of bad news, to avoid losing face among nations, to expect heroic sacrifices from common people, and to treat casualties as if they were to blame for their predicaments. If the disaster does not serve The Party’s purposes it is ignored.
In reality, the Covid-19 “Emergency” was not a real emergency – it was a deliberate international scam and all the quality data supports this conclusion. This totalitarian scam was already in progress with Climate as the primary driver, and then along came Covid-19, a relatively mild flu that only killed the very elderly and infirm, and Covid was enlisted as a second front for the wolves to stampede the sheep.
NO TOTAL DEATH BUMP MEANS NO REAL PANDEMIC – AN ILLNESS YES, BUT CERTAINLY NOT A PANDEMIC – IN A REAL PANDEMIC A LOT OF PEOPLE DIE AND THEY DID NOT.
In Alberta and Canada there was no “total death bump” (no increase in the trend vs previous years) in the 12 months ending 1July2020 – the end of the first “flu season” of Covid-19. NONE! We did early treatment, didn’t even do sensible treatments like Ivermectin and Vitamin D.
The Covid-19 death bump that occurred in the USA was caused by incompetent treatment protocols, primarily “stay home until you’re almost dead, then we’ll zap you with remdesivir, destroy your liver and kidneys, and put you on a ventilator to finish you off, and your
hospital will get a bonus!”.
In Alberta in 2020 the average age of death attributed to Covid-19 in 2020 was 82 – think about what all that means – the lockdowns and vaccines were never justified. We were systematically misled by our health authorities and governments.
See my paper CorrectPredictions.ca for a plot of the six-year, no-bump, death trend in
Alberta and Canada to 1July2020.
Covid-19 was a WHO scam. I called it correctly in a note published on 21Mar2020, ~6 days into the needless, destructive lockdown. Covid-19 was an illness that was only fatal to the very elderly and infirm, but not even close to a real epidemic. Six months later on 4Oct2020, world experts wrote the same conclusion in their Great Barrington Declaration.
I wrote our Alberta & Canadian politicians and North American media on 8Jan2021 to NOT release the Covid-19 “vaccines”. These so-called “vaccines” are toxic – some informed parties call them “bio-weapons”.
In Alberta now, the leading cause of death is listed as “unknown”. It’s actually the toxic Covid-19 vaxxes. Deaths jumped in 2021 after the Covid-19 vaxxes were deployed – most of
the “Covid” deaths , especially of people under ~75 , were caused by the vaxxes, not the virus.

There was a Covid pandemic in 2020 in the US
I can’t speak for Alberta, Canada
You are deluded and providing disinformation
US excess deaths spiked in April 2020 and are still high
US all-cause mortality did not jump in 2021
It stayed about the same as in 2020.
The vaccines did not help
Excess deaths remain high in 2022
Obviously not caused by Omicron which is a common cold wih a very low infection fatality rate. The vaccine’s long term adverse side effects are one reason, along with damage caused by Covid infections in 2021.
The spike proteins are damaging for anyone with a weak immune system whether they are from a natural infection or created by a vaccine.
Of course many 2020 deaths were in nursing homes of people already in bad shape. Their deaths should have been blamed on heart disease, cancer, etc — whatever sent them to the nursing home. But with a positive PCR test or just Covid like respiratory symptoms, they became Covid deaths.
The deaths WITH Covid statistic sounds like it would be inaccurate, but in 2020 that statistic explained the excess deaths as well as a deaths FROM Covid statistic would have.

FIFTH LARGEST LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IN US PAID OUT 163% MORE FOR DEATHS OF WORKING PEOPLE AGES 18-64 IN 2021 AFTER COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATES June 17, 2022
Company cites “non-pandemic-related morbidity” and “unusual claims adjustments” in explanation of losses from group life insurance business
https://crossroadsreport.substack.com/p/breaking-fifth-largest-life-insurance
Five months after breaking the story of the CEO of One America insurance company saying deaths among working people ages 18-64 were up 40% in the third quarter of 2021, I can report that a much larger life insurance company, Lincoln National, reported a 163% increase in death benefits paid out under its group life insurance policies in 2021…
The reports show a more extreme situation than the 40% increase in deaths in the third quarter of 2021 that was cited in late December by One America CEO Scott Davison — an increase that he said was industry-wide and that he described at the time as “unheard of” and “huge, huge numbers” and the highest death rates that have ever been seen in the history of the life insurance business.
The annual statements for Lincoln National Life Insurance Company show that the company paid out in death benefits under group life insurance policies a little over $500 million in 2019, about $548 million in 2020, and a stunning $1.4 billion in 2021.

And that is just the first wave of Covid-19 vaccine deaths – there will be many more to follow.
In Canada, that is ~50,000 deaths directly caused by Trudeau’s toxic “vaccines”, with many more to follow.

VACCINE SAFETY MONITORING
By Zachary Stieber September 13, 2022
The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has acknowledged publicly for the first time that the agency gave false information about its COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the agency’s director, said in a letter made public on Sept. 12 that the CDC did not analyze certain types of adverse event reports at all in 2021, despite the agency previously saying it started in February 2021.

US Life Expectancy Falls Again in ‘Historic’ Decline
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola September 14, 2022
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
· According to the latest statistics, life expectancy in the United States dropped precipitously in 2020 and 2021. In 2019, the average life span of Americans of all ethnicities was nearly 79 years. By the end of 2021, life expectancy had dropped to 76 — a loss of nearly three years
· Even small declines in life expectancy of a tenth or two-tenths of a year mean that on a population level, a lot more people are dying prematurely than they really should be
· Native Americans and Alaska Natives have the highest rate of diabetes out of any ethnic groups — 1 in 7 — and obesity is also common. Both of these conditions have been identified as comorbidities that make you more susceptible to serious COVID-19 infection
· Aside from COVID, causes of death listed as contributors to this loss of life expectancy include accidental deaths, drug overdoses, heart disease, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. However, excess deaths from all causes are wildly elevated, across age groups
· That life expectancy has dropped by three years since the start of the pandemic can be explained by the simple fact that the primary “remedy” for COVID — the experimental mRNA COVID jabs — are the most lethal drugs in medical history

I emailed the following to the Alberta government and other politicians and media on 8January2021. My warning was in sufficient time to stop the carnage!
“The Covid-19 vaccine developments were rushed and are not proven safe or effective and should NOT be taken, especially by the low-risk population – those under-65 or recovered from Covid-19. The two experimental Covid-19 vaccines that contain mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) are especially risky – due to unknown future side-effects, the risk-to-reward is far too high for the low-risk group.”
I could not have been more clear – and I only publish when I am certain. See CorrectPredictions.ca
These dead physicians are a small part of the total – there are much greater numbers of dead and vaccine-injured citizens from all careers, and that total is growing every day and will accelerate as more people take more toxic Covid-19 “vaccines”. The numbers of vaccine-caused dead and injured will exceed those lost in our foreign wars – our corrupt governments and health authorities cannot hide this truth and perpetuate this disaster any longer.

Of course Willis you are right. I get so frustrated when I hear people saying covid caused this or covid caused that. Covid didn’t cause a damn thing, covid makes you sick, some real sick, some not so sick and some may die. It is the out of control government that has done all the damage and I curse them for it. They took a healthy economy and flushed it down the toilet, it will take brave and talented leaders to right the wrongs they have committed. I curse those rotten polecats.
You should add to your charter
Any leader or bureaucrat breaking his charter is immediately guilty of treason and hung from the nearest tree until dead and any mate pulling his leg to hasten death is also hung until dead
this should keep the bureaucrats at bay and stop bad decision
lets start with the governor of California
every body must buy EVs but Nobody can charge them because I said so
and anybody cheating (German idea) will be fined
Sure, but we know it’s coming anyway. The pandemic has shown them there are no limits to what they can do to us.
Agree 100% – but we all know that self-interest and outright hunger for power will prevent it from happening.
Problem is that in many cases the legislators who you’re asking to fix it are the very ones who caused it in the first place (by passing the laws governing emergency declarations), and those who are not directly responsible don’t have the will or spine to fight it.
Willis agree with everything you said
Myself I would like to see 4 things done with any regular legislation
1) all laws must have a sunset clause and be re-affirmed by vote at most every 10 years, no law can be re-affirmed in an ad hock vote.
2) all laws must have metrics to be tested against for effectiveness
3) all laws must be clear concise and understandable by a layman
4) all laws must address only one matter at hand
5) all laws should be no more then 10 pages in length
6) congress should not be allowed to cede any of its duties or responsibilities to the executive branch
sorry thats 6 not 4, got a little crazy there
As I age into the septuagenarian world, the only emergencies I’ve encountered in daily life so far is whether I will make it to the restroom and get my pants down in time. This is not to say that there cannot be other emergencies that have not occurred yet. But I have yet to encounter any politician that is willing to declare such an emergency or offer solutions. Calling 911 does not help.
Safe here but octonagenerian! A little older than you! If you find a solution, let me know.
In any case, we need clear legislation at both the State and Federal level specifying things like:
• What constitutes an emergency.
I have to laugh at the idea that you could define an emergency
define a hill.
a usually rounded natural elevation of land lower than a mountain
how round?
how much lower
define mountain
an elevated portion of the Earth’s crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock
how steep
how significant
what bedrock?
or define cup mug and glass
https://skilja.com/classification-and-context/
early in my linguistics career. first class actually
i was exposed to this piece which makes me laugh at every request for
definition
Labov, W. (1973). The Boundaries of Words and their Meanings.
requests for definitions are feigned claims of ignorance
emergency is an english word.
we all understand what it means. but for
in generic terms it is a situation where the outcomes are so dire that we may wish to forstall our normal modes of decision making.
Mosh, always glad to hear from you. However, if as you claim nothing can be defined, then we’ll have to throw out all the lawbooks. After all, they define crimes … but according to you, nothing can be defined.
And most fields of science contain all kinds of definitions. The IPCC reports all have glossaries to define the words they use.
Your take seems kinda solipsistic …
w.
not that nothing can be defined. but rather
be better than the ordinary understanding
you didnt do the basic work alice. which would include
a. talking about the existing law around emergencies
b. discussing the various kinds of emergencies
c. discussing the history.
d. citing examples of emergencies that prove your point and that count against your point
e. researching the existing reports on emergency powers in the usa.
but your spelling and grammar were great as always.
C-/D+
this is the kind of advice i would give to freshmen
before you rail about emergencies. look at examples.
data is good
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_emergencies_in_the_United_States
there are military emergencies, trade, sanctions, economic, public health
break it down alice!!! you cant make a case against all emergencies
Declaring a National Emergency (Proclamation 3972)[18] – declaration in response to the 1970 United States Postal Service strike. The third of four emergencies cited by Senate Report 93-549 as never having been terminated.[9]
to make a case against all emergies will require a stupid argument like “define emergency”
Blocking Iranian Government Property[20] (Executive Order 12170)[20] – ordered the freezing of Iranian assets as part of the U.S. response during the Iran hostage crisis[4]
Further Prohibitions on Transactions with Iran (Executive Order 12211) – prohibitions revoked on January 19, 1981, but national emergency neither terminated nor continued[21]
since i spent years correcting poot alices freshman screeds.
let me give the kind of advice i would give alice or bobby
ALICE!!
why dont you compare emergencies before and after 1976
A national emergency is a situation in which a government is empowered to perform actions not normally permitted. The 1976 National Emergencies Act implemented various legal requirements regarding emergencies declared by the President of the United States.[1][2]
As of April 2022, 79 emergencies have been declared;[3] 37 have expired and another 42 are currently in effect, each having been renewed annually by the president.[4][5][6]
before you play junior senator making your own law
look at what the law is
before you crown yourself king solomon
read something
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Report_of_the_Special_Committee_on_the_Termination_of_the_National_Emergency
Thanks for the fascinating links, Mosh.
w.
theres more, especially since trump try to use emergency powers to build the wall
you see ALICE.
you get a far more interesting paper when you look at actualy facts,
than when you stomp your foot and demand defintions
you know what an emergency is. dont play stupid
https://youtu.be/FUtT9O3iyw0
I know what an emergency is. However, neither “President” Biden or Governor Newsome seems to know.
