Asia‚ a British rock band‚ was formed in 1981. The group was notable for being a supergroup‚ as its original members were from various successful progressive rock bands. Asia’s music leaned towards a more commercial rock/pop sound‚ distinct from the complex progressive rock of the members’ previous bands. They have released numerous albums‚ experiencing significant chart success‚ particularly with their debut album “Asia” in 1982. John Wetton John Wetton was a founding member of Asia‚ playing bass and serving as the lead vocalist. He was with the band from 1981 to 1983‚ and then again from 1984 to 1991‚ with The post Complete List Of Asia Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Having role models is important. Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey of the L.A. Metal band Butcher Babies looked to Iron Maiden‚ Slayer‚ Slipknot and Pantera for inspiration. But standing above the rest was Wendy O. Williams‚ the frontwoman of the Plasmatics. “Wendy O. Williams (pictured) was the first female in Heavy Metal‚” explained Shepherd. “We were both (Shepherd and Harvey) hugely influenced by her.”  “We took the name from the Plasmatics song ‘Butcher Baby’‚” the group stated in an interview. “Wendy was a bad ass… she didn’t give a f@ck what anyone thought… we share that spirit.” Shepherd added that she admired “females that defy the male dominance in music.” With producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God) Butcher Babies recorded their ’13 debut album‚ “Goliath.” It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart but landed in the bottom half (#112) of the Billboard 200. Shepherd and Harvey became known for aggressive‚ Shock Rock performances that were informed by horror movies and for going topless‚ wearing tape over their nipples. That particular Wendy O.’ inspired stage look was later abandoned.  De-emphasizing “Goliath’s” melodic tendencies in favor of a Thrash Metal approach‚ Butcher Babies’ sophomore set‚ “Take It Like A Man‚” a ’15 release‚ peaked at #76 on the Billboard 200 and hit #5 on the U.S. Indie Chart.  According to reports‚ the record label (Century Media Records) and the group’s management expressed a dislike for the album title and artwork (a young girl in a pink dress wearing a knight’s helmet)‚ and that the band had to fight to keep them.  “Every member of this band had to fight to be the person he or she is today‚” stated Harvey. “That’s the whole basis for the record. It’s not a gender thing. It’s the inner strength you have to find in order to pull your boots up and keep moving forward.”“Monster’s Ball” was the lead single. It was followed by the tracks “Never Go Back” and “Igniter.” The album was also notable for containing a re-recorded version of Butcher Babies’ first single from ‘10‚ “Blonde Girls All Look The Same.”Still‚ the group’s past haunted them‚ namely when they wore nipple tape for live shows. “(It) has been pounded into everyone’s head‚” explained Shepard. “The thing is‚ it wasn’t part of who we are. It was only for like‚ six months. It will always come up. I completely agree (that media focuses on our sexuality).” After the group’s tour with Megadeth‚ Butcher Babies released their third album‚ “Lilith.” The set marked the debut of drummer‚ Chase Brickenden‚ who replaced (Chris) Warner who’d left in ’16 when he got engaged. Ricky Bonazza took over on bass in ‘20 after Klein’s exit. It would be a little less than six years before the Groove Metal band would release another album.  And when they did‚ apparently making up for lost time‚ it was the double set‚ “Eye For An Eye…” and “…’Til The World’s Blind‚” containing “Beaver Cage‚” “Red Thunder” and the ballad “Last December.” The double set celebrated the tenth anniversary of Butcher Babies debut‚ “Goliath.”  “Eye For An Eye…” and “…’Til The World’s Blind” were the band’s fourth and fifth albums.

Senate voted 49-51‚ failing to reach 60-vote threshold required to allow proposal to come up for consideration Update (1810ET): Nope… On Wednesday President Joe Biden suggested that if Congress doesn’t send Ukraine more money‚ now‚ it may ’embolden’ Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade a NATO ally‚ which would precipitate “American troops fighting Russian troops.” The threat was not persuasive. In response‚ Senate Republicans channeled Elon Musk (G…F…Y…)‚ blocking Biden’s $111 emergency supplemental package that would also include aid for Israel‚ humanitarian aid for Gaza‚ and a smattering of border funding. The Senate voted 49-51‚ failing to reach the 60-vote threshold required to allow the proposal to come up for consideration. Notably‚ Bernie Sanders (I-VT) voted against the measure‚ while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) flipped his vote to ‘no’ to preserve the option of revisiting the bill at a later date.URGENT!

He said that he’s willing to make “significant compromises” with Republicans but that it’s they who’ve been unwilling to back down from their “extreme” demands.  “This cannot wait‚” Biden stressed in the televised remarks from the White House. “Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the holiday recess. Simple as that. Frankly‚ I think it’s stunning that we’ve gotten to this point in the first place. Republicans in Congress are willing to give Putin the greatest gift he can hope for and abandon our global leadership.” Breaking: Biden raises the possibility of World War 3 with “American troops fighting Russian troops”.

We need to fix the broken border system. It is broken. And thus far I’ve gotten no response‚” Biden pleaded. He made the speech after speaking with G7 leaders‚ who are reportedly alarmed that US funding to Ukraine is set to run dry in a mere three weeks. “If we walk away‚ how many of our European friends are going to continue to fund and at what rates are they going to continue to fund?” he posed. And that’s when the fear-mongering really kicked into overdrive. He went so far as to say that if Ukraine’s defense isn’t funded‚ this will lead to the country being steamrolled by the Russian military machine‚ and an emboldened Putin will then seek to gobble up more territory. Here’s what the US president said‚ as reported in The New York Times:  The president even raised the prospect that an emboldened Mr. Putin would pose a threat to NATO allies‚ requiring the United States to come to their assistance with troops on the group. “If Putin takes Ukraine‚ he won’t stop there‚” Mr. Biden said. “It’s important to see the long run here. He’s going to keep going. He’s made their pretty clear.”“If he keeps going and then he attacks a NATO ally” to which the United States is bound by treaty to help‚ “then we’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today — American troops fighting Russian troops‚” Mr. Biden said.“Make no mistake‚” he added. “Today’s vote is going to be long remembered and history’s going to judge harshly those who turn their back on freedom’s cause. We can’t let Putin win. I’ll say it again‚ we can’t let Putin win.” Of course‚ this shaky “logic” is the opposite of reality. It is the nearly two years of ‘blank check’ spending which has only served to ever-deepen American military involvement in the war‚ and this is what has gotten Washington into yet another foreign quagmire.  The soon to emerge narrative will also inevitably be that these hold-out Republicans “lost” the Ukraine war‚ as Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has already been saying. The MSM will also help the administration float this as a key 2024 election talking point… wait for it to be on an endless CNN/NPR loop headed into next November.

The Brazilian Ministry of Health has added the COVID-19 vaccine to the country’s mandatory vaccination schedule for children 6 months to 5 years old‚ and is considering establishing school vaccination centers with strict reporting requirements. The Brazilian Ministry of Health has added the COVID-19 vaccine to the country’s National Immunization Program (PNI) for children 6 months to 5 years old‚ Agência Brasil reported. The new policy will take effect in 2024‚ despite growing opposition among Brazilians and testimony by experts highlighting concerns about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for children and increased incidences of myocarditis‚ pericarditis and other conditions among young vaccinated individuals. Despite these concerns‚ which were addressed in a recent hearing before Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies and by several opposition lawmakers‚ Brazilian Minister of Health Nísia Trindade defended the new policy‚ while the Brazilian government said families of unvaccinated children will not receive support from the Bolsa Família welfare program. In addition to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for young children‚ a bill under consideration by the Brazilian Senate would establish vaccination centers in the country’s schools. Brazilian government claims new policy aligned with WHO recommendationsURGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray &; contribute at DefendJones.com today! According to Brasil 61‚ the PNI will require three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The first two doses will be administered four weeks apart‚ while the third dose will be administered eight weeks after the second dose. Brazilian newspaper O Dia reported that the COVID-19 vaccines that will be available to children include Pfizer’s pediatric formulation for children 6 months to 5 years of age and the Chinese-made CoronaVac (Sinovac) vaccine. The decision to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for young children “was taken on the basis of global scientific evidence and epidemiological data of cases and deaths from the disease in the country‚” O Dia reported. According to O Globo‚ Trindade cited an increase in cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) among children in Brazil as a factor that led to the new policy. Trindade said over 3‚000 cases of SARS were identified in children under age 1‚ and more than 1‚000 cases were reported in children ages 1-4. “The [Health] Ministry also explained that it follows the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO)‚ which in March of this year recommended that immunization be a priority for the high-risk population‚ such as people with significant comorbidities‚ including children 6 months or older‚” O Dia reported. According to CNN Brasil‚ the COVID-19 vaccine also will be prioritized for other “high-risk” groups‚ including the elderly‚ immunocompromised‚ the permanently disabled‚ pregnant and postpartum women‚ health workers‚ those with comorbidities‚ Indigenous peoples‚ residents of long-term care facilities‚ the homeless‚ the incarcerated and prison staff. “In Brazil‚ we have slightly expanded the group compared to WHO’s recommendations‚ which are more limited‚” said Ethel Maciel‚ secretary of health surveillance for the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Health officials claim young kids are ‘at risk’ The Brazilian government and several Brazilian media outlets cited a high number of COVID-19-related deaths among children in the country as a justification for the measure‚ and the fact that‚ according to Maciel‚ “more than 60 countries” have already authorized the vaccination of children from the end of 2021. “We already have very robust evidence that indicates the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine‚” Maciel said. “In Brazil‚ we had 4‚000 people dying every day from COVID-19. Today‚ we have 42. This is the greatest evidence of the effectiveness of the vaccine.” O Globo reported that “In 2022‚ Brazil recorded one death per day among children aged 6 months to 5 years due to COVID-19.” Infectious disease specialist Dr. Francisco Cardoso told The Defender‚ “The Brazilian government’s proposal is to include‚ as mandatory‚ annual vaccination for COVID-19 in the age group from 6 months to 5 years of age‚ claiming that they are at-risk groups.” “The addition of this rule to the PNI calendar makes this rule mandatory‚ except only in cases of medical certificates with express contraindication‚” Cardoso said. Other experts who spoke with The Defender questioned the new policy. Dr. Pierre Kory‚ president and chief medical officer of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance‚ said‚ “There is no medical justification for a healthy child to be vaccinated for COVID-19 as it represents near nil risk of death or disability to the vast majority while almost all have natural immunity which is as or more protective.” Parents of unvaccinated children would be stripped of welfare payments Compliance with the PNI and the new COVID-19 vaccination requirement will be a prerequisite for participation in the “Bolsa Família‚” Brazil’s social welfare program. According to O Dia‚ “The Bolsa Família Program‚ created in October 2003‚ in the first government of [current President] Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva … exists to guarantee basic income for Brazilians and Brazilians in poverty.” Receipt of the monthly benefit of R$600 (approximately $100)‚ is contingent on families complying “with commitments in the areas of health and education‚ to strengthen access to their basic social rights‚” O Dia reported‚ adding: “One of the conditionalities for receiving the benefit is the follow-up of the national vaccination schedule‚ in addition to the prenatal period‚ school attendance minimum 60% for children from 4 to 5 years‚ among other criteria. “Therefore‚ with the COVID-19 vaccine included in the national immunization calendar‚ it is mandatory that families benefited by the program vaccinate children against the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.” Gazeta Do Povo reported that “With the obligation‚ not vaccinating children could result in fines and loss of social benefits‚ such as Bolsa Família.” According to Brazil’s Federal Nursing Council‚ parents began receiving an additional R$150 (approximately $30) per child each month if they comply with school attendance and vaccination requirements. Brazilian lawmakers hear testimony from experts about lack of vaccine safety Opposition lawmaker Bia Kicis on Nov. 21 organized a hearing in the country’s Chamber of Deputies‚ during which several health experts from around the world testified. The hearing sought to “discuss the obligation to vaccinate children from 6 months to 5 years of age against COVID‚” with “the presence of experts … for clarification about mandatory vaccination in children.” Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough told The Defender his testimony “advised that COVID-19 vaccines cause fatal heart damage and a host of other side effects‚” and that they are “unsafe for use in children.” Kory‚ who also testified‚ remotely‚ before Brazilian lawmakers and health officials‚ said he stressed that “COVID-19 was and remains a highly preventable and treatable illness. There is no medical justification for mandating any vaccine for COVID-19.” “It is now widely known that the medical evidence on safe and widely available treatments for COVID-19 using repurposed drugs was intentionally suppressed by government agencies and medical authorities‚” he added. McCullough stressed the dangers of myocarditis in his testimony‚ telling the committee that prior to the pandemic‚ “myocarditis [was] an infrequent clinical concern and it was an infrequent clinical diagnosis.” “The COVID-19 vaccines‚ mRNA and adenoviral DNA vaccines go to the heart‚” McCullough said. “They produce spike protein. The spike protein causes inflammation and damage in the human heart. And this is shown with the most detailed necropsy and autopsy studies‚” he said‚ adding that “vaccine-induced myocarditis is common and has no initial symptoms.” Similarly‚ Kory told The Defender‚ “Much of the currently available data raise serious warning signals regarding the rates of myocarditis‚ as well as the massive spikes in excess mortality measured across the world coincident with the vaccination campaign.” In her testimony during the Nov. 21 hearing‚ immunologist and biochemist Jessica Rose‚ Ph.D.‚ said‚ “Myocarditis is notoriously being reported in young children in the context of these shots following dose two‚” noting that there is “evidence of causation” and that there has been a “fourfold increase in reporting [of myocarditis] in boys.” Rose also cited data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). “The average number of adverse events reported for all vaccines combined historically for the past 30 years in VAERS is approximately 39‚000‚” she said‚ adding that for the COVID-19 vaccine‚ “the number of adverse events in VAERS for children aged zero through 18 is just over 75‚000 in the context of the COVID-19 shots alone.” The toxicity and lethality of the vaccine platform is unprecedented‚” Kory told The Defender. “Mandating that children must receive the vaccine before this data can be fully analyzed creates an unnecessary risk to their health. We simply do not know enough about the COVID-19 vaccines to require them in the name of public health.” “Let’s hope the Brazilians make the right decision to keep their children safe and unvaccinated for COVID-19‚” McCullough said. Brazil proposes school vaccination program Concurrently with the Brazilian government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for young children‚ the government may also introduce a national vaccination program in schools. Bill No. 826/2019 was approved Nov. 29 by the Senate’s Committee on Social Affairs and is now being analyzed by the Educational Commission‚ “which will be responsible for the final decision‚” the Brazilian Senate’s news service reported. According to the Senate‚ the “program will be intended primarily for students of early childhood education and elementary school … Public or public institutions‚ from early childhood education and elementary school‚ [would be] obliged to join the program‚” while it is optional for private schools. This is similar to a nationwide school vaccination campaign in France focusing on the administration of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Public schools are required to participate in the program‚ but participation is optional for private schools. In late October‚ a 12-year-old boy died days after he collapsed and hit his head on the floor minutes after receiving the HPV vaccine at his school. Critics‚ including some medical experts‚ have said that school settings are inappropriate and unsafe for medical interventions such as vaccination. Critics of the proposed program argued that “the measure would represent a violation of parental autonomy‚ could lead to discrimination against unvaccinated students‚ as well as result in school dropout‚” and that children might be subjected to “constraining and embarrassing situations” and possible data breaches‚ according to the Brazilian Senate. Agência Brasil reported that the proposed program will begin alongside the start of the nationwide flu vaccine campaign and will include other “routine” vaccinations. “Students without a vaccination card will receive a new one at the time of vaccination.” According to Estadão‚ the proposed bill states that students who do not participate in the school vaccination program would be reported to Brazilian authorities. “Five days after vaccination in the school unit‚ education professionals must send to the health unit a list with all students who did not receive the vaccination” along with “the address and information” of their parents or guardians. “If they do not present themselves in the health unit within 30 days of the statement‚ health professionals should pay a visit to the student’s home in order to raise awareness about the importance of being up-to-date with the vaccination‚” Estadão added. Kory urged parents to do whatever they can to oppose the mandate for their children. “Given what we now know about the harm the COVID-19 vaccines have caused‚ mandating them for anyone‚ especially all children‚ does little for public health while further eroding what trust the public might still have in their government health agencies‚” Kory said. “I encourage them to talk to their child’s doctor and find out what options they have for getting an exemption from the vaccination.” “By mandating the vaccine‚ the Brazilian government is undermining what little credibility and trust they might have with the public‚” Kory added. “There is no need to vaccinate healthy children for COVID-19‚ to force the vaccine on this on the public goes against everything we are trained to do as physicians.” The globalists are increasing their attacks on Infowars and the stakes have never been higher!

Study's authors cite United Nations and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as ultimate authority on issue of climate change. A truly bizarre study by psychologists from the University of Geneva in Switzerland is looking at ways to “inoculate” the public against what they call “climate disinformation.” The study — “Psychological inoculation strategies to fight climate disinformation across 12 countries” — was published on November 30 in Nature Human Behaviour. The authors look to diagnose what is causing what they term “(anti)science belief formation‚” and present strategies to combat the disbelief of the supposed “settled” science of climate change induced by mankind. The study’s abstract makes dubious claims about the climate change debate. “Decades after the scientific debate about the anthropogenic causes of climate change was settled‚ climate disinformation still challenges the scientific evidence in public discourse‚” the study declares. Perhaps it’s because the “settled” science that the authors refer to is questioned by so many reputable scientists‚ including Nobel Prize-winner John Clauser‚ Princeton physicist Will Happer‚ Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore‚ and dozens of others.Survival Shield X-2 is now 25% OFF!

The study’s authors purport to have “experimentally investigated” psychological factors across 12 nations looking for reasons why some have rejected the notion of anthropogenic climate change and the alleged “scientific consensus” that the Earth is doomed by mankind’s use of fossil fuels. “For instance‚ these messages can take the form of an unfounded questioning of the scientific consensus or an overestimation of the socio-financial burden of climate policies‚” said Tobia Spampatti‚ a PhD student and research assistant in the Consumer Decision and Sustainable Behavior Lab and one of the study’s authors. The study’s authors believe that‚ instead of simply trusting the words of climate-zealot scientists‚ people tend to trust their own intuition when looking at the doom-and-gloom climate change claims. “As individuals‚ we do not process scientific messages as neutral receivers of information‚ but by weighing them up against our prior beliefs‚ desired outcomes‚ emotional ties and socio-cultural and ideological backgrounds. Depending on the configuration of these psychological factors‚ anti-scientific beliefs can be amplified and become resistant to correction‚” Spampatti said.
