Sometimes a Coincidence isn’t a Coincidence
John Green, American Thinker, Jun 16, 2021

But when coincidences start to stack up, their probability of jointly occurring becomes exceedingly low. One begins to wonder if they are not coincidences at all. Could they really be linked outcomes from the same underlying root cause?

In the past year and a half, we have witnessed a remarkable string of apparent coincidences.

A Group Of Parents Sent Their Kids' Face Masks to A Lab for Analysis. Here's What They Found
Scott Morefield, TownHall, Jun 15, 2021 [ https://tinyurl.com/5b6krr6k ]

The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:
• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
• Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs— resistant to antibiotics)
• Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
• Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)
• Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)
• Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires' disease)
• Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)
• Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis)

Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more.

Today’s blacklisted American: Business that makes American flags blackballed by Paypal, Facebook, and Shopify

A Tennessee businessman who specializes in making carved wooden American flags to order, with almost any message requested, has been blacklisted by Paypal, Facebook, and Shopify, preventing him access to more than $35,000 of his own cash and causing a 90% reduction in business.

It began when, the day after the January 6th protests in DC, all three big tech companies took action to destroy Your American Flag Store,, a small business owned personally by carpenter James Staake and his family.

Berkeley County couple facing federal charges for storming U.S. Capitol
Ray Rivera and Jennifer Dale, Live 5 News, Jun 15, 2021 [ https://tinyurl.com/7sn3bn8z ]

An FBI investigative report indicated that four people contacted the FBI tip line to report that the couple traveled from Hanahan to participate in the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building. According to authorities, another person also submitted a tip stating that the couple were involved in the storming of the Capitol Building.

An anonymous caller stated a video exists of the Getsingers entering the Capitol Building saying, “This is War! We’re storming the Capitol!” A second individual submitted a tip advising they were part of a Facebook group where Stacie Getsinger posted about being inside the Capitol Building.

The arrest warrant also states the pair were captured in several videos at the capitol building.

One of those four tipsters claimed to be a family member of Stacie’s.

Good lord, three of their friends and, separately, a family member called the FBI to turn them in. Just for walking in to the Capital of the United States.

and you can guarantee they have no guilt and would do it again - family members have become rabid and the worst are always on the left. I see it within my own family and extended family members. They have lost all sense of rationality and are rabidly triggered by every damn thing. They will spout their bs but if you dare speak up and have another opinion....

Same here. I NEVER brought up politics with my lib sisters (or in public even unless somebody else does first. ) Yet they will no longer talk to me because I will not vote as they tell me too. Worse, the will not talk to my kids either because their father will not vote as he is told.

Financial Blacklisting: Wells Fargo Shuts Down GOP Senate Candidate Lauren Witzke’s Bank Account
Allum Bokhari, Breitbart, Jun 16, 2021

Wells Fargo, one of the largest retail banks in the United States, has shut down the bank account of Lauren Witzke, who ran as the Republican party candidate for U.S. Senate in the state of Delaware last year.

In a post on Telegram, Witzke reported that her bank account had been shut down, leaving her stranded in Florida.

“Wells Fargo has shut down my bank account, taking all of my money and leaving me with a zero balance,” wrote Witzke.

“When I called Wells Fargo told me that it was a ‘business decision’ and that they have the right to close my account at any time. Had I not been surrounded by friends in Florida, I would be completely stranded. Use this as a warning and get your money out of Wells Fargo if you are a conservative. This is so evil.”
