Nurse shows up on death records days after Pfizer vaccination fainting episode
A 30-year-old Alabama nurse manager has registered as deceased on public record searches eight days after getting Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine and fainting, despite media “fact checkers” and her hospital claiming up until December 21 that she was alive.
Death record searches on SearchQuarry.com (recorded on this video) and another search on December 25 of Ancestry.com and posted on Twitter, show nurse Tiffany Dover (nee Pontes) as deceased. This points to her apparent death happening sometime after she publicly received a COVID-19 vaccination on December 17.
Photos and a short video posted on Twitter on December 21st by her employer, the CHI Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga, showed Nurse Tiffany standing with a group of her colleagues who were holding various posters supporting COVID vaccines and one specifically supporting Tiffany. The local TV station and others ran the same pictures. But the link posted by CHI Memorial Hospital on the 21st failed to work when accessed on December 31.
Nurse Tiffany was a married mother of two boys and lived in Higdon, Alabama, about 40 minutes’ drive across the state border from Chattanooga. The day after her fainting spell, she told media she had a condition which cause frequent dizzy spells and fainting. Fainting is a common vaccine reaction with the medical name syncope, although in nurse Tiffany’s case it didn’t happen until 17 minutes after she received her shot. The video went viral on the internet and news channels.
After the inevitable crazy online claim that nurse Tiffany died on camera, media and “fact checking” sites went into overdrive, denying the obvious. No, they pointed out, she just fainted and was alive the next day and that the vaccine “had nothing to do with” her fainting. But these same media channels and sites have now gone silent as has CHI Memorial Hospital, which is refusing access to her, supposedly because of her request for privacy.
The hospital and Tiffany herself, if she was alive, could easily end all this speculation over a family tragedy, by simply making a public appearance. Instead, it now appears as if Pfizer’s crisis managers have taken over and are covering up the entire episode with a “say nothing and wait” strategy. Equally guilty are the media channels that have gone silent.
Post-vaccination deaths are relatively rare but not uncommon. There were 202 such deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting Service (VAERS) in 2019 out of a total 60,214 reports. But these reports are provided on a voluntary basis and reflect only a small fraction of all adverse events, so the death count could be higher, especially for children, whose post-vaccination deaths are often recorded as SIDS or SUDI and several other acronyms.

Many European countries will implode, just like the Roman Empire
by Giulio Meotti
“There was a decrease in the population, due to the plague and the low birth rate”, wrote Gaetano Mosca in the 1930s, reflecting on what the German historian Eduard Meyer had defined as “the most interesting and most important event in universal history:” The fall of the Western Roman Empire.The most robust interpretative strand has for some time been emphasizing that it was a double demographic shock that caused Rome to collapse. The imperial population of 80 million in the first century at the time of Augustus dropped to 25 million in 476. The smallpox epidemic under Marcus Aurelius gave the coup de grace to what Pierre Chaunu, the French historian of the Annales, would define as the “first case in civilization of the refusal of life.”
To this double shock Michel De Jaeghere, director of the Figaro Histoire, dedicated the six hundred pages of his work “Les derniers jours ”- The last days. “Families were fragile and not very fruitful. Concubinage remained the norm, divorce was frequent. The loss of the pietas resulted in a depopulation that would have had a great weight on the destinies of the Roman world. Lucan had described, under Nero, the desolation of an Italy in which ‘few inhabitants wander the deserted streets of ancient cities’”.
Fast forward. Italy’s birth rate is expected to diminish further as fear and uncertainty brought on by the pandemic exacerbate its fertility crisis. Italy registered 420,000 births in 2019 – the lowest rate since the country’s unification in 1861 – while deaths reached 647,000. The birth rate could fall below 400,000 this year, while Covid’s fatalities will drive deaths beyond 700,000. Gian Carlo Blangiardo, the president of Italy’s statystics institute, said: “This is a worrying level because the last time something like this happened was in 1944 when we were in the Second World War”.
Is the fate of Roman Empire science fiction for current Europeans? Or is it coming true? In July, The Lancet magazine released mind-boggling data for Italy: its population will halve in 2100, to only 30 million inhabitants (same fate as Spain).
“For nearly three centuries, the Roman world was the subject of a series of violent raids by the Germanic tribes that destabilized it and ended up gaining the upper hand in the West,” De Jaeghere told me last week. “It was too sparsely populated to guarantee the subsistence and defense of the borders. Its elites, who in the glorious days of the Republic had led it personally, did not mobilize men and wealth to defend it, preferring more often than not to deal with the occupiers to save what was essential for them: possessions and positions.”
The current European situation is quite different. “Our countries have been at peace for 75 years, if we exclude the Yugoslav shocks. The population of the 28 states of the European Union is estimated at 446 million inhabitants. France alone is like the Roman Empire in its splendor. We are not subject to armed pillage or military conquest.”
“But the paradox is that we invest in the promotion of a policy that leads us, insensibly, to our own expropriation. Our demographic wealth is just a lure. It hides aging. And even if Europe is not conquered militarily, it is still a victim, due to extra-European immigration, of something that leaves us disarmed and powerless. The Baby Boom generation, in France in May 1968, is convinced that one must ‘enjoy without obstacles’, challenge authority and morals, in unprecedented happiness. Why have children? This generation has invented a world that believes itself to be the best that history has ever known but, at the same time, has planned its own demise.”
First it was Montaigne, who in the cold winter of 1580 in Rome looked around and reflected on the “infinite grandeur” suffocated under those ruins. Then Goethe, who paused in front of the ruins of the Roman Forum, the empty eye sockets of the Colosseum, the immensity of the Baths of Caracalla.
Two centuries later, faced with that same indestructible majesty, it was Edward Gibbon who questioned the reasons that led to the end of the greatest empire in history, who described its rapid decline and agony.
Another two centuries pass and an English historian, Michael Grant, identified the similarities between Rome and the West: the rich class, as then, enormously rich, which detaches itself from the social fabric; the bourgeoisie that loses all capacity for resistance; the bureaucracy that expands uncontrollably; the political class that lives isolated from the feelings of the masses, the hordes of barbarians, the ghosts of the peripheral provinces, the villas of selfish senators, the roar of religious and racial clashes.
All pass on warnings, constantly aiming at the present.
Stunning turn of events in PA may lead to Trump victory
By James Arlandson
On Dec. 28, Pennsylvania lawmakers concluded that “Numbers Don’t Add Up, Certification Of Presidential Results Premature and In Error”
President Trump tweeted about it:
“Breaking News: In Pennsylvania there were 205,000 more votes than there were voters. This alone flips the state to President Trump.”
The key paragraphs from the PA lawmaker’s two-page statement:
A comparison of official county election results to the total number of voters who voted on November 3, 2020 as recorded by the Department of State shows that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted. Among the 6,962,607 total ballots cast, 6,931,060 total votes were counted in the presidential race, including all three candidates on the ballot and write-in candidates.
The difference of 202,377 more votes cast than voters voting, together with the 31,547 over- and under-votes in the presidential race, adds up to an alarming discrepancy of 170,830 votes, which is more than twice the reported statewide difference between the two major candidates for President of the United States. On November 24, 2020, Boockvar certified election results, and Wolf issued a certificate of ascertainment of presidential electors, stating that Vice President Joe Biden received 80,555 more votes than President Donald Trump.
The PA lawmakers have done their job (so far). Now what is the next step? These lawmakers need to recall the slate of electors and tell House and Senate that the election results cannot be ascertained in their state. They should probably hold a vote that overturns the certification of the awful election. The bottom line is that the slate of electors is not permitted to vote on Jan. 6.
This reasonable and fair action may have a domino effect on the other embattled states, whose lawmakers should follow suit. If this happens, Trump will win in the Electoral College (I had erroneously stated that if no one reaches 270 votes, then the House decides.) Instead, the Twelfth Amendment states: “[T]he votes shall then be counted… The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President[.]”
But will PA legislatures, where the real power resides, do this? And will the other embattled states do the same? If so, then Trump (rightly) wins: 232 to 222. This is the best, constitutionally speaking, and probably the only real option remaining for Trump.
Therefore, the solution is, once again, that we the people need to put maximum pressure on the heroic and truthful PA legislatures to send word to the House and Senate, reminding them that the legislatures decide things, not a governor or a secretary of state. They should even hold a vote, overturning the certification of the election. And we need to put the same pressure on the legislatures of the other embattled states, where fraud obviously happened, to follow Pennsylvania’s lead.
Is offensive comedy acceptable?
Murder of imam in Germany: media and authorities covered up Pakistani origin of perpetrator and again made a lot of noise about the alleged right-wing extremist perpetrators
Following the beating to death of a 26-year-old imam with Pakistani roots in the street of Ebersbach on the River Vils in the German state of Baden-Württemberg on Monday last week, the public outcry in Germany was very restrained. The usual speculation regarding a right-wing extremist or Islamophobic background to the crime did take place – but very cautiously. The police also kept a conspicuously low profile and only reported that they had started a manhunt for “two men”.For this reason – and also because the perpetrators were not properly described – attentive observers had suspected early on that it was more likely a matter of a domestic or milieu crime from the victim’s social environment than a xenophobic attack. The fact that the description of the witnesses was published instead of the description of the perpetrators seemed particularly absurd to many.Leading German newspapers like ” Bild” eagerly promoted the narrative of the evil right-wing radicals who allegedly lurked around every corner: “Anything is possible, a domestic crime, an act of revenge. Or a racist murder. The very idea is unbearable.” Equally interesting: Austrian media did not pick up on the murder until today. Probably because there was no document from the German press agency, which certainly knew from day one that it was not a xenophobic act.The murder victim was considered a “liberal, sincere, warm-hearted and completely peaceful person” among his fellow believers. He came to Germany as a refugee in 2012, worked part-time as a taxi driver in Esslingen and in the evenings as a pizza delivery man in Ebersbach. Now, one week later after the brutal crime, it is definite: As the public prosecutor’s office in Ulm announced, the brother and the life partner of the killed man have meanwhile been remanded in custody under urgent suspicion of the crime. He is said to have a four-year-old son and a daughter (6 months) with her. The woman had initially appeared as a witness to the police. She was quoted in the newspapers as saying that one of the masked attackers had a conspicuously large white nose.The woman with a migration background who possessed a German passport was married to the murdered man according to Islamic law. During house searches at her house and at the house of the imam’s Pakistani brother, various pieces of evidence were seized which confirmed the suspicion against both of them. The investigators suspect the motive to be “family-related” – the usual paraphrase in officialese for crimes of revenge or code violations in the broadest sense, such as honour killings or honour punishments. Religious reasons could also have played a role.Civil society campaigners in the “fight against the right-wing” have been unlucky once again with their storytelling: unfortunately, the case is no evidence of allegedly ubiquitous “racist” or “Islamophobic” violence. Rather, it was a purely “inner-Pakistani family affair” for which the south-west German province was only the picturesque backdrop.

Vaccinated on Christmas Eve, dead five days later
A person died in Switzerland five days after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Authorities said a link with the vaccine was “highly unlikely”. German media called his doctor a “Coronavirus skeptic”.
Authorities in the Swiss Canton of Lucerne in the municipality of Ebikon, said on Wednesday that one of the first people to receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in the country has died. Deutsche Welle noted that “the case was initially reported by a coronavirus-skeptic doctor”.
The first serious incident occured in the canton whose health director Guido Graf (CVP) wanted to be the first to start the Corona vaccinations. On Christmas Eve, vaccinations started on dementia patients.
The canton Lucerne was thus the site of the first vaccinations in Switzerlandwhich was launched last week, with injections given primarily to elderly people. Switzerland has received 107 000 vaccine doses and expects some additional 250 000 per month starting next year.
On December 26, the resident complained of urethral and abdominal pain. He kept getting restless, his blood pressure dropped and his pulse increased. The doctor in charge examined the vaccine recipient one last time on Sunday evening, December 27. He was calm, but his stomach was painful under pressure. On Monday, the nursing home did not report on the patient’s condition. On Tuesday morning the doctor was informed by email about his patient’s worsening general condition. The patient had already died when the doctor was eventually called. The patient, apart from having dementia, had been considered healthy before the shot.
The canton has not yet released any detailed information about the man’s death. “We are aware of the case,” a spokesperson said, before adding that the death had been referred to Swiss drugs regulator Swissmedic.
Pfizer/BioNTech’s vaccine is the only vaccine which has been approved so far in Switzerland. The EU has has also approved the vaccine on an emergency-use basis, with the first jabs starting earlier this week.
This death follows the death of a vaccine recipient in Israel. A 75 year old man from Beit Shean died Monday morning around 2 hours after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. He had waited for the customary time at the health clinic before he was released. But when he arrived home, he lost consciousness and was later confirmed dead.
Israeli health authorities denied any link to the vaccine however: “Initial examination does not show a link between the unfortunate incident and the vaccination.”
The American drug control authority FDA (Food and Drug Administration) lists a number of side effects that can occur in the first few days in its fact sheet on the vaccine from Pfizer/Biontech. The focus is on acute allergic reactions, which now apparently also occur with the vaccine from Moderna, as the New York Times reported.
V-Safe , the reporting system for side effects of vaccines from the American disease protection agency CDC (Centers for Disease Control) shows a toxicity rate of 2,8 percent after five days for vaccination with the active ingredient from Pfizer/Biontech.
In the case of 112 807 vaccinations, some 3 150 “Health Impact Events” had occurred that made work impossible and had required medical treatment (as of December 18, 2020).
The CDC, apparently concerned by the high number of side effects, no longer publishes the figures.

Turkey: Turks Celebrate Nazi Sympathizer
On December 16, the Istanbul metropolitan municipality, led by Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), named a park in Istanbul after Hüseyin Nihal Atsız, a racist anti-Semite and one of Turkey’s most prominent Nazi sympathizers. The request was made by members of another Turkish opposition party, “The Good Party” (Iyi). Atsız (1905-1975) was known for “measuring skulls” to determine people’s “amount of Turkishness.”
In March, a member of the Good Party presented a motion to the Istanbul municipal assembly, calling for a park in Istanbul’s Maltepe district to be named after Atsız. The motion stated that Atsız spent most of his life in the Köyiçi region of Maltepe, and the subject was put on the assembly’s agenda in November. After the motion was passed by the assembly, the park in the Yalı Neighborhood officially received Atsız’s name.
According to the official website of the Istanbul metropolitan municipality, the motion passed unanimously. In a video published on social media, the Maltepe branch of the Good Party thanked Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu, a member of the CHP, for his support.
Sadly, Atsız still has many fans in Turkey. On December 11, for instance, Meral Aksener, the head of the Good Party, posted on Twitter:
“I commemorate with respect and grace Hüseyin Nihal Atsız, one of the valuable representatives of the idea of Turkish nationalism and a translator of our feelings, on the anniversary of his death.”
So what are Atsız’s worldview and legacy?
Atsız promoted Pan-Turanism, also known as Turanism, Turkism or Pan-Turkism, a nationalist, expansionist ideology that emerged in Ottoman Turkey during the Young Turks era (1908–18). Turanism believes in the supremacy of Turks and aims to unite all “Turkic peoples” from Hungary to the Pacific under one roof. The Ottoman Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), which organized the first phase of the 1914-23 Christian genocide in Ottoman Turkey, was also pan-Turkist-Turanist. Turkey’s continued aggression towards Armenia, Israel, Cyprus, Greece, and other nations in the region today is also motivated by Turkism, among other extremist ideologies.
In her book Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust, scholar Corry Guttstadt describes Atsız as a “Turkish apologist for German Nazism”:
“Nihal Atsiz was an avid Nazi sympathizer. He called himself a ‘racist, pan-Turkist and Turanist’, and was an open anti-Semite. From 1934 onward, Atsiz published the Turanist journal Orhun, in which he advocated a Greater Turkish Empire extending from the Mediterranean to the Pacific. His Turkism was based on ties of blood and race; he advocated a return to pre-Islamic Turkish beliefs.”
Professor Jacob M. Landau notes:
“Atsiz was a great admirer of the race theories of Nazi Germany, expressing some of them repeatedly in his own works during the 1930s and 1940s (with the Turks labelled as the ‘master race’). His articles insisted, again and again, that Pan-Turkism could – and should – be achieved by war. For years, his haircut resembled Hitler’s and his own personal posture had a military way to it.”
Atsız’s writings led to violence when the Jewish communities of eastern Thrace were attacked during the 1934 anti-Jewish pogrom. Atsız was a literature teacher in the region back then. Guttstadt writes:
“Immediately prior to the events of 1934, threatening articles directed against Jews had also appeared in the journal Orhun, published by Atsiz.”
After a trip to the city of Canakkale, for instance, Atsız wrote:
“The Jew here is like the Jew we see everywhere. Insidious, insolent, malevolent, cowardly, but opportunistic Jew; the Jewish neighborhood is the center of clamor, noise and filth here as [the Jewish neighborhoods] everywhere else…. We do not want to see this treacherous and bastard nation of history as citizens among us anymore.”
In another article during the same period, Atsız wrote:
“The creature called the Jew in the world is not loved by anyone but the Jew and the ignoble ones… Phrases in our language such as ‘like a Jew’, ‘do not act like a Jew’, ‘Jewish bazaar’, ‘to look like a synagogue’… shows the value given by our race to this vile nation. As the mud will not be iron even if it is put into an oven, the Jew cannot be Turkish no matter how hard he tries. Turkishness is a privilege, it is not granted to everyone, especially to those like Jews… If we get angry, we will not only exterminate Jews like the Germans did, we will go further….”
Motivated by the writings by Atsız and other anti-Semitic authors, Turks targeted the Jews of eastern Thrace in pogroms from June 21- July 4, 1934. These began with a boycott of Jewish businesses, and were followed by physical attacks on Jewish-owned buildings, which were first looted, then set on fire. Jewish men were beaten, and some Jewish women reportedly raped. Terrorized by this turn of events, many Jews fled the region. According to historian Rifat Bali, many of Atsız’s followers participated directly in the riots.
Atsız contributed a lot to intoxicating Turkish minds with Jew-hatred. According to Dr. Fatih Yaşlı’s book, Our Hate is Our Religion: A Study on Turkist Fascism, Atsız wrote:
“Can a child of the Turkish nation who swung swords and spent their lifetime on battlefields for centuries and a child of the Jewish nation who lived their lives in dishonesty and fraud for centuries be equal? Even if they take a Turkish child and a Jewish child born on the same day to the same education institution and teach them only the Esperanto language and give them the same education under the same conditions, the Turkish child will definitely be brave again, and the Jew will be cowardly again.”
Atsız often made dehumanizing statements about other non-Turks, as well. Referring to Greeks, for instance, and conveniently disregarding the Turkish genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks, he wrote:
“Can Greeks be regarded as human beings?… Greek means a scorpion. Just as the scorpion stung the turtle who helped it cross the river to do it a favor and then said ‘what can I do? This [betrayal] is my habit’, the Greeks are also shaped by a habit of enmity against Turks.”
Atsız hated almost all non-Turkish peoples. In his will, addressing his then one-and-a-half-year-old son, Yagmur, Atsız wrote, in part:
“The Jews are the worst enemy of all nations. The Russians, the Chinese, the Persians, the Greeks are our historical enemies.
“The Bulgarians, the Germans, the Italians, the British, the French, the Arabs, the Serbs, the Croats, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Romanians are our new enemies.
“The Japanese, Afghans and Americans are our future enemies.
“The Armenians, the Kurds, the Circassians, the Abkhaz, the Bosnians, the Albanians, the Pomaks, the Laz, the Lezgins, the Georgians, the Chechens are our enemies within [Turkey].
“One must become well prepared to combat so many enemies.”
His son Yagmur, however, grew up to be an individual critical of his father’s views. In a book he penned in 2005, he described how his father measured skulls in an attempt to determine people’s “rate of Turkishness.”
“Nihal Atsız was dreadfully [into] skullcaps. He measured the skulls of people he did not know at all – beside the skulls of his immediate surroundings and neighbors. He then calculated the skulls meticulously, and informed them whether they were Turkish or not. For example, he told them if they were Turkish 37 percent, nine out of ten or 69.4 percent. For those with a low rate of Turkishness, he always had words of ‘consolation’ on his lips. For instance, he said, ‘But you can partially eliminate your innate deficiency through an extraordinary voluntary effort and vigilant national consciousness.’
“Of course, those with a low rate of Turkishness, according to the skull measurement, would leave [our] home extremely distressed.”
Yagmur Atsız added that the “tool” that his father used to measure skulls was a kind of a caliper, about 45 centimeters long, and it was always on his writing desk. Atsız added that his father continued the skull measurement activity for decades.
Atsız also continued to affect Turkish political life in the next decades. Guttstadt notes:
“Anti-Semites and fascists, inspired by the German example, became a constant in Turkey’s political system in the period after World War II. In 1962, Nihal Atsız, along with like-minded people, founded the Türkçülük Derneği [Turkism Association], a forerunner of the fascist National Action Party (Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi, MHP), which was responsible for countless murders of leftist students, unionists, and intellectuals during the seventies. The leader of this movement was Atsız’s comrade in arms Alparslan Türkeş.”
The MHP also includes the far-right, racist Grey Wolf movement (Bozkurtlar), which was recently banned in France after a memorial to victims of the 1914-23 Armenian Genocide was defaced. Officially known as Idealist Hearths (Ülkü Ocakları), the movement has been involved in many acts of violence against civilians as well as political and religious figures. This includes the Alevi massacrein the city of Maras in southeast Turkey in 1978 and the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981.
Atsız’s racist worldview has led to deaths and destruction for so many. Nevertheless, at least three other parks in Ankara and Antalya and a street in the city of Amasya have been named after him.
So, what is it in Atsız’s thoughts and activities that many in the Turkish opposition — including Istanbul’s mayor — find worth promoting? Is it his “skull measurement,” Nazism, racism, Turkish supremacism and hate on which the Turkish opposition also agrees?
Today, behind many of Turkey’s continued aggressive policies such as its anti-Armenian, anti-Greek, anti-Cypriot, anti-Jewish, anti-Kurdish, anti-Western, and anti-Israeli activities lie the racist views of Atsız and the like. Millions of Turks have for decades been poisoned with Atsız’s Nazi-like views.
Apparently, the opinions of many members of the Turkish opposition do not seem so different from Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s violent, supremacist mindset. Until the Turkish opposition leaders and politicians honestly face and criticize Turkey’s history of crimes, slaughter and systematic racism, true democracy there will remain just a dream.
