“Our government is out of control on this,” Malone said about vaccine mandates in the interview, which was released over the weekend. “And they are lawless. They completely disregard bioethics. They completely disregard the federal common rule. They have broken all the rules that I know of, that I’ve been trained [in] for years and years and years.” …“These mandates … are explicitly illegal” and “are explicitly inconsistent with the Nuremberg Code,” Malone said during his interview with Rogan, referring to the set of research ethics principles against human experimentation. “They are explicitly inconsistent with the Belmont report,” he said, referring to the 1978 report published in the Federal Register regarding ethical principles and guidelines for research involving human subjects. “They are flat-out illegal, and they don’t care.”

Why More Young People Favor Socialism and What We Should Do: Mary Eberstadt – Epoch Times
A growing number of young people now favor socialism over capitalism. According to author Mary Eberstadt, that’s because these young people have been deliberately miseducated, and they should learn more about the history and truth. …“What young people need to understand is that there are deep reasons why they’re being fed that narrative. They are being deprived of the grandeur of their country’s history and its lessons. And the reasons for this are that they are the backbone of a political movement that exploits them, called progressivism,” Eberstadt said. She added that Marxism actually has a lot to do with progressivism… …Eberstadt said there’s a great need for young people to understand the history of communism and socialism and other truths that their teachers have deprived them of for political reasons.

Supreme Court Asks Biden Administration to Respond to Flurry of Challenges to OSHA Mandate – Epoch Times
President Joe Biden’s administration was directed on Monday to reply to a flurry of fresh challenges to its private employer COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump nominee, told administration officials to file responses to applications from faith groups, companies, and attorneys general from over half the states in the country by 4 p.m. on Dec. 30.

Konen blasted the board and accused teachers and staff of coaching her gender dysphoric daughter through the Equality Club, an LGBTQ+ support group now called the You Be You (UBU) Club at Buena Vista Middle School. “I stand here today in front of all of you because I am outraged. Is this really barely coming to light? Are you guys serious?” she said. “How could you even allow this? How could you even have this meeting to question it? How dare you let these teachers come in and act as if they have done nothing wrong? A mistake? How long of a mistake?”

Apple Gives $275 Billion to China – Epoch Times
Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, according to secret documents reportedly seen by The Information, inked a $275 billion giveaway in 2016 that explains the tech company’s success in China.
The Chinese market is no small part of Apple’s current approximately $3 trillion market capitalization. This makes it the world’s biggest company. So the Apple CEO could be incentivized to give away its technology and ignore human rights abuse to maximize his bonuses in the short term while not only selling out Apple shareholders, but American democracy to boot. Meanwhile, Apple is among other major American corporations—including Nike and Coca-Cola—lobbying Congress against the core provisions in a bill that just passed the House against the use of Uyghur forced labor in China. Uyghurs are working in factories that are in the supply chains of at least 82 well-known global brands in the technology, clothing and automotive sectors, including Apple, BMW….
