Joe Biden announced a stunning new foreign policy stance regarding the defense of Taiwan against China... and the White House is walking it back. We go into the details of Biden's brainfart and what it means. Also, people are catching Monkeypox, so that's a thing now. And we're back to canceling Dave Chappelle.

WHAT THE HELL is Going On in Taiwan?! | Louder with Crowderwww.youtube.com

MONKEYPOX: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

• As of May 21, 92 cases had been confirmed and 28 suspected cases globally were under investigation. SOURCE: WHO
  • USA: 1-5 Cases
  • So… Is the end of days upon us, again? Let’s take a look at what’s going on so you can decide for yourself.
• The current outbreak seems to be spreading in a new way, and the GAY community seems to be at elevated risk. SOURCE: PLUS
  • UK Health Security Agency epidemiologist Mateo Prochazka noted this, tweeting: “the high proportion of cases in the current outbreak in England that are gay or bisexual (4/7, 57%) is highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks.” SOURCE: Twitter
  • Dr. Susan Hopkins, the Chief Medical Advisor for UKHSA also commented saying: “The evidence suggests that there may be transmission of the monkeypox virus in the community, spread by close contact.” SOURCE: PLUS
  • Most outlets reporting on outbreaks have QUIETLY referred to the ‘fetish festival’ link. SOURCES: Newsweek, YahooNews, Telegraph
  • But we found it! It’s called Darklands and was held May 4-May 9, 2022, and features the following events. SOURCES: DarklandsGenInfoDarklandsCampK9, DarklandsHorseFair
  • Belgium has recorded its fourth case of monkeypox. All four cases have been linked to the Darklands Festival! SOURCE: POLITICO
  • Portugal has recorded at least 21 confirmed cases. At least one case links Portugal to Belgium’s Darklands Festival. SOURCES: WHO, Virological
  • Spain also has at least 21 confirmed cases, most of them linked to a gay sauna. SOURCE: Express
• What is monkeypox?
  • Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease endemic to Western and Central Africa, from the same family as smallpox. SOURCE: ClinicaInfectiousDiseases
  • MUCH less severe than smallpox. The strain currently spreading has a mortality rate of less than 1%. SOURCE: CNET
• Monkeypox isn’t new to the US.
  • In 2003, an outbreak of monkeypox resulted in 47 confirmed or probable cases reported by the CDC. SOURCE: CDC
  • There have been subsequent cases of monkeypox in the US, but as of right now, no one has died! SOURCE: WHO
• How does it spread? Do we need masks? Vaccines?
  • There has been a push, again, for people to mask up. Based on how it spreads, that doesn’t make any sense. SOURCES: NYChealthdept, CDC
  • Large-scale vaccination is also a silly idea. Smallpox vaccine did help–but--‘Ring Vaccination’ is the current standard of care. SOURCE: Nature
• Several other countries are now experiencing outbreaks. SOURCE: WHO

BIDEN MAKES A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT ON TAIWAN!

• Speaking in Tokyo next to Japanese PM Fumio Kishida, Biden addressed the question of how the US would respond if China invaded Taiwan. SOURCE: YouTube
  • This statement breaks with decades of US policy on the issue. It also comes just two weeks after the US State Dept. removed key sections from its US-Taiwan relations page. SOURCE: TaiwanNews
• But did Biden mean what he said?
  • In October of last year, Biden made eerily similar comments. SOURCE: YouTube
  • Unsurprisingly, this caused anger and confusion in Beijing, with Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin. SOURCE: SCMP
  • The White House almost immediately walked the statement back. SOURCE: SCMP
• Since switching diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1978, The US has practiced “Strategic Ambiguity.” SOURCE: SCMP
• Right after Biden says the US would defend Taiwan, he says the US supports the One China policy. And... the Whitehouse is already walking it back. SOURCE: Twitter
• This is further evidenced by Biden’s new Indo Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) SOURCE: ABCNews
  • The new trade Framework has 13 members including:
    • Japan
    • South Korea
    • Thailand
    • Vietnam
    • Australia
    • New Zealand
