California Truckers to ‘Let Freedom Roll’ in People’s Convoy to D.C.

California truckers fed up with the federal government’s endless emergency powers mandating masks and vaccines are gearing up for what they hope will become a Canadian-style “freedom convoy” to Washington, D.C. and are set to roll on Interstate 40 heading east from Barstow on Feb. 23.

A national group, called The People’s Convoy, is organizing the truckers who will hit the road for the nation’s capital city to demand the Emergency Powers Act be lifted, ending the mandates, according to Chris Marston, chairman of the American Foundation for Civil Liberties, a non-profit that advocates for civil liberties issues and is helping coordinate the trucker’s protest.

Though previous news reports stated the convoy wouldn’t depart California until March 7, organizers now say the convoy will leave earlier than planned.

“Freedoms can’t wait,” Marston told The Epoch Times.

Pfizer whistleblower unsealed court case against Pfizer for 2 billion dollars

Need PACER to verify fully. Fell off the end of RSS feed.

Story

A former clinical trial overseer for a contractor holding trials of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is pressing forward with a lawsuit against Pfizer and her former company despite the U.S. government declining to side with her.

Brook Jackson was fired by the contractor, Ventavia Research Group, in 2020. She came forward as a whistleblower in 2021.

Jackson filed a False Claims Act suit against Pfizer, Ventavia, and another company involved in the trial, ICON. It has been under seal for over a year, but is now public after the U.S. Department of Justice declined to intervene on behalf of Jackson.

Government lawyers did not explain the choice not to intervene and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which investigates alleged clinical trial fraud, did not respond to a request for comment.

The choice, though, has not deterred the whistleblower.

“We’re going to pursue the case without the help of the government,” Jackson told The Epoch Times.

She said she wasn’t surprised but felt “total disappointment” when, after over a year of putting off a decision, the government declined to intervene.

The odds of success aren’t good but “it’s just a chance I have to take,” Jackson said. “I just feel like somebody has to be held accountable.”

Jackson set off a firestorm when the British Medical Journal in November 2021 published a piece, based on documents, recordings, and other materials from Jackson, that outlined repeated failures by Ventavia to properly run sites for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine trial before it received emergency clearance from U.S. drug regulators.

While the article did not include any of the materials, many were filed with the court and obtained by The Epoch Times, including emails that detail problems observed not just by Jackson, but other Ventavia workers.

For instance, Lovica Downs wrote on Sept. 18, 2020, to Jackson and another employee that she observed boxes containing patient information left on the counter “full[y] exposed to anyone that entered the room could see.”

Other missives described other problems. Marnie Fisher, Ventavia’s director of operations at the time, said on Sept. 21, 2020, that an investigation found multiple sites had left documents exposed, including a schedule with patient names on it; adverse events either “not being reported correctly or at all”; the vaccine and placebo “not being kept locked” in “disorganized” rooms; and informed consent errors.

The documents show that Ventavia employees were aware of serious problems arising during the trial, including vaccine administrators who who were either described as having “no training” and “very little oversight” or lacking medical certifications or background. A Pfizer official was copied on, and answered some, of the emails.

The full sets of documents are embedded; the article continues below them.

Downs declined to comment while Fisher couldn’t be reached. ICON and Pfizer didn’t respond to requests for comment. Ventavia spokeswoman Lauren Foreman told The Epoch Times via email last year that Jackson worked for Ventavia but “no part of her job responsibilities concerned the clinical trials at issue.”

In an updated statement on Feb. 11, Foreman added, “Although Jackson was hired to oversee certain sites and aspects of clinical trials, she was only employed with Ventavia for 18 days, and, as a result, did not have the longevity with the company to complete the training for the role for which she was hired.”

Jackson, through her lawyer, recently threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against Ventavia over its description of her employment.

The FDA told The Epoch Times in an email last year, “Although the agency cannot comment further at this time in this ongoing matter, FDA has full confidence in the data that were used to support the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine authorization and the Comirnaty approval.” Spokespersons didn’t reply when asked on Monday for an update.

Jackson was fired hours after filing a complaint with the FDA. A Pfizer official reached out directly to Jackson several weeks after she filed the complaint asking for more information, according to text messages reviewed by The Epoch Times.

The suit was brought under the False Claims Act, which enables Americans to file suits on behalf of the government “against those who have defrauded the government,” according to the government. More than $5.6 billion has been obtained through suits under the act, as of the fall of 2021.

The suit says Pfizer, ICON, and Ventavia “deliberately withheld crucial information from the United States that calls the safety and efficacy of their vaccine into question.”

“Namely, Defendants concealed violations of both their clinical trial protocol and federal regulations, including falsification of clinical trial documents,” it also says. “Due to Defendants’ scheme, millions of Americans have received a misbranded vaccination which is potentially not as effective as represented.”

Jackson is asking the court to award her damages and back pay and reinstate her to her position with Ventavia.

Incorrect. It's about raising the barrier of entry higher, technically. It costs quite a bit to gain entry by brute force (assuming competent cryptocurrency). They can still use old school interrogation and intimidation games to hand over your keys. AKA rubber hose cryptography because beating with rubber hoses leaves no marks you see.

https://www.thecountersignal.com/news/ottawa-police-may-euthanize-truckers-pets-as-punishment

SHOCK POLICY: Ottawa may euthanize truckers’ pets as punishment — The Counter Signal

The same day that videos emerged of Ottawa and Quebec police gearing up to go after peaceful Convoy supporters in the capital, the Ottawa government has warned protesters that their pets may be confiscated following their arrest.

Moreover, position statements issued by the Ottawa Humane Society reveal that they may unilaterally euthanize any animal that they deem to be “not suitable for adoption.” Arbitrary behavioral and health tests would be used to make the call.

These decisions about the life of a trucker’s pet would, thus, be made without their consent or knowledge while they are imprisoned for indefinite periods of time via the Emergency Powers of the Trudeau regime.

"Attention animal owners at [the] demonstration," Ottawa By-law writes in a Tweet. "If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will [be] placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished."

As anyone with experience in pet care or animal shelters will know, "relinquishment" means that ownership of pets will be handed over to animal shelters, where the pets will be housed while awaiting a prospective owner to adopt them or to be euthanized.

As Adopt-a-Pet explains, "When shelters run out of kennel space, sometimes even healthy adoptable dogs are put to sleep. Some shelters simply don't have the manpower to spend time with each dog, so they spend most of their time alone in a small cage… What is true at every shelter is that when you surrender a dog, what happens to him is completely out of your hands."

It isn't clear what length of time Convoy supporters may face if arrested for peacefully protesting, but the government has been clear that it could be up to one year in prison, in addition to a possible $100,000 fine.

This move, while despicable, should come as no surprise, as authoritarian regimes often resort to such measures when under stress.

Last year, the Australian government euthanized 15 rescue dogs, including ten puppies, at an animal shelter to 'stop the spread' of COVID amongst the devastated staff.

As it stands, all Canadians continue to be held hostage following Trudeau's invoking of the Emergencies Act, with Canadians' who happened to support the Convoy financially being threatened with the possible freezing of their bank account. Dogs are just the latest target for a government in shambles.

Well, Anons, I am heading to join the Crusade to save the puppers in CA. Who's coming with me?

>>5351

this board is run by an individual that will ask permission, instead of take.

Pretty fair imo. Makes for a comfy posting environment.

I would really like to figure out why torposting won't work. Some anons completely disappeared when Torposting went away. I have it turned on but from what I have been told no one can post with it.

>>5389

did they change the tor revision again?

I rember for a while gerbil was bitching about tor on qr, but was too stupid to understand that a) the 8kun version of tor protocol was out of date so b) fj refusing to turn it on was techinically warranted, and wouldn't have mattered even if he did turn it back on.

I don know if that's still the case, or if watkins had that updateed.. it's been a while since i cared enough to look again

>>5391

speaking greek to me.

>>5389

Was it turned off sitewide during the wierd white supremacist copypasta raids?

They were hitting from TOR.

Pretty sure that was when.

>>5394

Not sure, I can't get the link to pull up the site even.

>>5389

Jim has done 2 things unannounced but obvious is obvious:

- Disabled TOR posting but left your now ineffective admin settings for it as-is.

- Shadow banned hashes of long time anons critical of him by routing their post attempts using those hashes to /random/.

Oldfags on /pol/ that used to do 8ch confirmed a few weeks back to me that he used to do douchey shit like that to them all the time.

https://jthnx5wyvjvzsxtu.onion/

>>5392

>eli5

tor stopped working because jim doesn't update his site very often so gerbil bitching to fj about it was moot.

>>5397

It really seems like he wants to kill 8kun

>>5399

Which is why the IP hashes never changed, so the only good news is that Q's trip should still work… if it matters

>>5401

as long as the salt doesn't change it's all good

>>5400

He certainly wants to control the QR audience as much as possible as he milks whatever he can out if it.

CM turning into a famefag plays into that.

Pretty sure he also knows it's now or never since 8kun can't even be given away much less sold later without Q being active.

>>5400

This year was the most successful attempt and no less down to nearly the day of previous attempts. The Pillow Incident the uptick in spamming. The egregious posting and other issues.

Oh and then simply handing off the baord xDDDDDDDDDDDDD HOLY SHIT!

Control. Perhaps the narrative was becoming too volatile? Or has it always been?

Exclusive: Trump app opens to hundreds of testers ahead of expected launch

Feb 17 (Reuters) - Details about former U.S. President Donald Trump's new social media app are trickling out as about 500 beta testers have begun using an early version of “Truth Social,” two sources told Reuters.

The testing of Truth Social comes a year after Trump was banned from Facebook (FB.O), Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) YouTube. His new media and technology venture, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), has pledged to deliver an “engaging and censorship-free experience” on the app, which Chief Executive Devin Nunes has said will launch by the end of March. read more

TMTG remains shrouded in secrecy and is regarded with skepticism by some in tech and media circles. It remains unclear whether the app's goal of freedom of expression can co-exist with Apple's (AAPL.O) and Google's app store policies. TMTG was not immediately available to comment.

Liz Willis, a correspondent and vice president of operations at Right Side Broadcasting Network, told Reuters she received an email Tuesday stating that “T Media Tech LLC has invited you to test Truth Social.”

Willis was able to download the app on her iPhone through the beta testing site TestFlight, the Apple-owned product that developers use prior to launching their apps in the App Store. Users have been posting on this version of Truth Social for the past 24 hours, Willis said Wednesday morning.

Wayne Dupree, founder of WayneDupree.com and host of a conservative podcast, is also among the app's beta testers.

"I can see my participation in Truth Social outgrowing Twitter because it seems I am not suppressed like I have been on Twitter, since 2016," said Dupree, who added there was currently no edit button.

"I want to share my single dad chronicles. I want my followers to see I am more than politics and I feel Truth Social is going to allow my audience to see me as Twitter purposely does not."

By late Wednesday, Trump's account on Truth Social had 317 followers, according to a screenshot viewed by Reuters. Trump had 88 million followers before Twitter banned him.

Truth Social allows users to post and share a “truth” the same way they would do so with a tweet. There are no ads, according to Willis and a second source familiar with TMTG.

Users choose who they follow and the feed is a mix of individual posts and an RSS-like news feed. They will be alerted if someone mentions or begins following them.

According to a screenshot, the app says that “A new direct messaging experience will be available soon. Please stay tuned.”

Several conservative media personalities also have accounts, according to a screen shot reviewed by Reuters. Reuters could not immediately reach those individuals for comment.

Trump’s account shows one “truth” that he posted three days ago, verified at the account of @realDonaldTrump with a red check and with the message: “Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!”

Donald Trump Jr on Twitter highlighted his father's first post on Truth Social.

TMTG released an updated version, “Truth Social 0.9,” Wednesday morning. It is testing for bug fixes for “re-truths,” which is what it calls a retweet, “image aspect ratios and compression, improved error handling and account creation.”

It appears the Lion has learned to write their own story. The narrative is in the people's hands. and it is for they themselves to decide without Gods guidance or with.

That is all a distraction but it's unimportant at this point and was always meant to be one could imagine.

Biden administration sues over gun law

The US Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Wednesday to prevent Missouri from enforcing a gun rights bill that was passed last year. The legislation, House Bill 85 or the Second Amendment Preservation Act, essentially invalidates federal gun laws that do not have a state equivalency in Missouri.

Local law enforcement could face $50,000 lawsuits from private citizens in the state who feel their Second Amendment right has been violated.

“The Missouri law declares five categories of federal firearms laws ‘invalid’ and deters and penalizes their enforcement by federal, state and local law enforcement officers,” a statement from the Justice Department reads. Attorney General Merrick Garland claimed the action by Missouri “impedes criminal enforcement operations” in the state.

“A state cannot simply declare federal laws invalid,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, also said.

According to the department, the law has caused confusion among officials and said many local authorities have not been as cooperative with federal authorities.

“Critical information that state and local offices previously shared with federal law enforcement officers to facilitate public safety and law enforcement is now frequently unavailable to federal law enforcement agencies,” the complaint states.

A spokesperson for the Missouri Attorney General’s Office responded to the suit by standing by the gun rights law and accusing President Joe Biden’s administration of putting “partisan politics ahead of public safety.”

Missouri’s law is also facing a challenge in the state’s Supreme Court, which heard arguments in the case earlier this month.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/durham-probe-russiagate-watergate-hillary-trump-andrew-mccarthy

Durham probe: Russiagate isn't Watergate – here are key differences

Eight days before the 2016 presidential election, the New York Times ran what I would describe as a memorable headline, except it seems to have been forgotten in recent days: "Investigating Donald Trump: F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia."

The underlying report makes for fascinating reading. In hindsight, the Times undoubtedly regrets publishing it. Clearly, the paper believed that Donald Trump didn’t have a prayer of winning the then-imminent election. It would not otherwise have reported a determination by the nation’s premier law-enforcement and domestic-security agency that the Trump-Russia "collusion" narrative – which the Times had spent so much energy hyping – was unfounded.

But the Times, like the FBI itself, was confident that Hillary Clinton would win comfortably. It was thus time to clear the decks and tone down the "collusion" chatter. Had Clinton prevailed, as everyone was so very sure she would, we’d never have heard another word about "collusion." Having served its purpose, which was always political, the smear would be retired.

Nevertheless, the Times report is worth remembering in light of the Watergate comparisons that have filled the air waves since Russiagate special counsel John Durham’s revelation last week that Clinton campaign operatives pushed the CIA to investigate then-President Trump –allegedly based, in part, on Clinton-friendly tech executive Rodney Joffe’s privileged access to government records of White House internet-traffic.

As the Times explained on Oct. 31, 2016, the FBI had scrutinized but rejected the suspicion of "cyberexperts" that there was "a mysterious computer back channel between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which is one of Russia’s biggest banks and whose owners have longstanding ties to [Russian President Vladimir Putin]."

We now know, of course, that the "cyberexperts" in question were led by Joffe. Durham’s indictment of Democratic Party lawyer Michael Sussmann elaborates that Joffe, who was hoping to land a job in the anticipated Hillary Clinton administration, collaborated with a group of fellow tech experts to mine and distort the internet data to which they had privileged access due to a government contract. The objective was to support the Clinton campaign’s project to portray Trump, then the Republican presidential nominee, as a Putin puppet.

What the Clinton operatives were pushing the FBI, and later the CIA, to do was political spying. That is indeed scandalous. Although the media-Democrat complex would prefer to ignore or discredit the scandal, it deserves a lot more attention.

But the incident brings into sharp relief the flaw in Watergate comparisons so cavalierly tripping off the tongues of former President Trump and his supporters.

In Watergate, it was the executive branch of government itself that put the law-enforcement and intelligence apparatus of the government in the service of partisan politics. That’s what made the conspiracy so perilous. When government officials, behind the veil of "national security," abuse these awesome powers to achieve partisan ends and maintain their grip on power, our democratic republic truly is threatened.

That, however, is not the case when a third party beseeches a government security agency to use its investigative authorities for the purpose of slandering a political enemy, and the government agency ends up clearing the political enemy of wrongdoing.

That is what happened to the Alfa Bank allegation that was sculpted by Joffe and peddled to the government by Sussmann.

To be sure, the FBI did conduct an investigation. We should be alarmed that an investigation of a presidential candidate could be triggered because politically connected insiders have trusted access to government data and chummy relations with government officials.

That said, though, this was not a Watergate situation. It was not a scenario in which the White House, based on no credible evidence, tasked the FBI to scrutinize the opposition party’s presidential nominee so a story could be spun that a communications back channel had been established between that nominee and a hostile foreign regime. It was not even a situation in which the FBI, because of the tight alliance between former Secretary Clinton and then-President Obama, collaborated with the Clinton campaign in framing Trump as if he had established a secret system for exchanging messages with the Kremlin.

No, what happened here is the Clinton campaign tried to recruit the FBI into portraying Trump as having a back channel to Putin, but the FBI not only rejected the allegation but managed to get its rejection leaked to the nation’s most prominent newspaper. As the Times put it, "Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government."

Now, let’s maintain an even keel on this. The FBI’s performance in Russiagate was erratic, at best. At times it veered from malevolent to incompetent. The Bureau opened an investigation in which Trump was obviously the focus based on scant evidence. Even as the Bureau dropped the Alfa Bank investigation, it was eavesdropping on a former Trump campaign adviser based on warrants it obtained by representing to the FISA Court that Trump might be in cahoots with Putin. These warrants were continued for eight months into Trump’s presidency, and were based in part on bogus information (the Steele dossier) that the Bureau failed to verify and about which it made misrepresentations under oath to the court.

Presumably, Durham is giving the FBI’s performance a long look. Still, based on the cases he has indicted so far, his position is that the FBI was duped by Clinton operatives.

I am skeptical of that theory; I suspect Durham will have a tough time convincing juries of it. But what I think is beside the point. Here’s what we know: (a) the FBI rejected the Alfa Bank suspicions against Trump that are the context of Durham’s prosecution of Sussmann, and (b) Durham, a well-regarded prosecutor who has unearthed the political spying evidence we should all find disturbing, is portraying the FBI as a victim of, rather than a participant in, the Clinton campaign’s deceptions.

That’s not Watergate.

Musk: SEC out to ‘chill’ my speech with ‘endless’ investigations

Lawyers for Elon Musk and Tesla Inc. told a judge the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is “targeting” the two and has failed to pay Tesla shareholders $40 million it collected in a settlement of a 2018 case over his tweets.

In a letter filed with the federal court in Manhattan Thursday, Musk’s legal team claims the SEC “seems to be targeting Mr. Musk and Tesla” because he remains “an outspoken critic of the government.” The agency is trying to “chill” his speech with “endless, unfounded” investigations, his lawyers allege.

A federal judge has also raised questions about the status of a $40 million fund established from fines paid for Musk’s controversial tweets, seeking accounting statements in a December order.

The firm appointed in May to administer distributions from the fund, set up by the SEC for harmed investors, hasn’t filed required accounting statements, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan said in a December order. The SEC reached a settlement with Musk and Tesla in September 2018 after suing the billionaire over his tweeted claims weeks earlier that he had the funding and investor support to buy out stockholders at $420 a share.

The SEC alleged the tweets were false, and while Musk and Tesla didn’t admit to wrongdoing as part of the accord, the agency set up a so-called Fair Fund to repay investors harmed by Musk’s statements.

In the letter Thursday, Alex Spiro, one of the lawyers representing Musk and Tesla in the case, asks Nathan for a hearing “to address why the SEC has failed to distribute these funds to shareholders but has chosen to spend its energy and resources investigating Mr. Musk’s and Tesla’s compliance with the consent decree by issuing subpoenas unilaterally, without court approval.”

Spiro claims the SEC is using the 2018 settlement to “muzzle and harass” Musk and the company while ignoring its responsibility to distribute the $40 million to shareholders.

The consulting company handling the fund has said it is awaiting transfer of the money from the SEC.

i still think it's relevant.. Durham could have used another court case to make his point. why that one? was that the only court case in the history of the united states to allow in limine evidence?

definition of in limine btw:

In U.S. law, a motion in limine (Latin: [ɪn ˈliːmɪnɛ]; "at the start", literally, "on the threshold") is a motion, discussed outside the presence of the jury, to request that certain testimony be excluded. A motion in limine can also be used to get a ruling to allow for the inclusion of evidence. The motion is decided by a judge in both civil and criminal proceedings. It is frequently used at pre-trial hearings or during trial, and it can be used at both the state and federal levels.

btw part 2: in limine in Latin = "at the start"

AT THE START

aka we're at the start of this trial which itself is the start of major spygate/fisagate/obamagate happenings >

It doesn't seem like a good fit to be anything deeper than just trolling.

Because Durham is the government, so what would he be saying via that clip?

That HRC is the don and he can't get anyone to testify against her?

>>5469

>>5470

Yeah, that's the only angle I can see if Durham is signalling anything at all.

>>5469

he would be saying - "i see what you're trying to do" and it's not going to work. if indeed michael sussmann is trying to back out of his claims/whatever deal he made to get away with only a "false statements" charge.

Ayo Jim Ima take my jetpack over to you across the Americorp of the Untied States.

oh and on an unrelated side note, No Snuggles No Peace.

That is all.

>>5471

to play devil's advocate against myself, for the 2nd time lol, the point is not just that they're filing a motion in limine, but that:

>The publicly-filed evidentiary motions and judicial rulings in each of the above-cited cases received significant media attention.

i guess there's no reason to assume there were other high-profile cases where the government filed similar motions that Durham could have cited instead of the Stone/Manafort ones..

but still a strange coincidence nonetheless and the parallels between the Corleone crime family and the Clinton crime family are uncanny. i guess we'll just see what happens..

more on the godfather scene:

"An early draft of the film's script explains that Vincenzo, shocked that his brother is about to betray the Corleones, attends the hearing to remind Frank that he must not break the Mafia's code of silence, omertà. This is also spelled out in a cut scene in the The Godfather II video game. His brother's presence, as well as the stare they exchange, serves as a threat that if Frank follows through with his planned testimony, retribution will be taken against his children, who are living in Sicily under Vincenzo's guardianship."

Belarus Threatens To Deploy Nukes Against Any Western Aggression

For the first time throughout the current two-month long standoff between NATO and Russia over Ukraine, the specter of nuclear war has been directly raised, with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday warning that his country stands ready to deploy nuclear weapons if under threat.

Citing external threats coming from the West, and at a moment Belarus is hosting many thousands of Russian troops, as well as S-400 missiles and long-range bombers for ongoing joint military drills expected to go to Feb. 20, Lukashenko warned, "If necessary, if such stupid and mindless steps are taken by our rivals and opponents, we will deploy not only nuclear weapons, but super-nuclear and up-and-coming ones to protect our territory," according to AFP.

The US Department of Justice stepping up its policing of cryptocurrencies with the formation of a new task force

The US Justice Department announced the launch of the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team.

The task force will tackle the rise in ransomware attacks and the surge in crypto-related crimes.

Chainalysis reported that there was an 80% increase in crypto crimes in 2021.

The US Justice Department this week announced the launch of the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team to combat the criminal use of digital assets.

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco made the announcement at the Munich Cyber Security Conference, and appointed veteran prosecutor Eun Young Choi to serve as the inaugural director of the force.

The team will meet the challenge of crypto crimes and increasingly large ransomware attacks, according to a press release from the department.

"With the rapid innovation of digital assets and distributed ledger technologies, we have seen a rise in their illicit use by criminals who exploit them to fuel cyberattacks and ransomware and extortion schemes; traffic in narcotics, hacking tools and illicit contraband online; commit thefts and scams; and launder the proceeds of their crimes," said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite Jr. of the Justice Department's Criminal Division in the release.

The team will have a "particular focus on virtual currency exchanges" and entities that facilitate the misuse of cryptocurrency.

The rapid growth of cryptocurrency markets in 2021 also came with an 80% rise in crypto crimes, according to a Chainalysis report.

A separate report then found that cyber crooks laundered $8.6 billion worth of dirty crypto last year, and laundering surged 30%. There's been about $33 billion in crypto laundered since 2017, primarily through centralized exchanges, according to the research firm.

"The NCET will serve as the focal point for the department's efforts to tackle the growth of crime involving these technologies," Polite Jr. said.

U.S. Adds WeChat and AliExpress to Notorious Piracy Markets List

Feb. 17, 2022

The Biden administration on Thursday added WeChat’s e-commerce ecosystem and AliExpress, an e-commerce site owned by Alibaba, to an annual list of markets that the United States says engage in counterfeiting and copyright violations.

The administration said the activities caused significant financial losses for American businesses and workers and posed risks to consumer safety last year.

The Biden administration also removed from the list several of Amazon’s foreign stores, which the Trump administration had added for the first time to its report released in January last year.

The inclusion of Amazon’s stores in Britain, Canada, France, Germany and India prompted an outcry from the company, which claimed that its inclusion was driven by a “personal vendetta” on behalf of the Trump administration, despite consumer complaints about fake products on the platform.

The new report, released by the Office of the United States Trade Representative, identified 42 online markets and 35 physical markets that sold or eased trade in a wide array of counterfeit or pirated goods, including fake Nike products, pirated books and academic papers, music files and virtual items like video games.

The list included several major Chinese e-commerce businesses, like Taobao, an e-commerce site owned by Alibaba; DHGate, a business-to-business e-commerce platform; and Baidu Wangpan, a cloud storage service that allows users to share pirated movies, TV shows and books.

In a statement, Alibaba said that it looked forward to continuing to work with governments to understand and address concerns about intellectual property protection across its platforms.

“We know the challenges in I.P. protection and remain fully committed to advancing our leadership in this area,” the company said.

A press officer for Tencent, which owns WeChat, said in a statement that the company strongly disagreed with the decision and that it monitored and deterred intellectual property rights violations.

The protection of intellectual property rights “is central to our business,” the statement said. “We take a comprehensive approach, based on industry best practices, to combating counterfeiting and infringement on all of our platforms.”

The office said some countries had made progress in cracking down on the sale of counterfeit goods, including Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates. It also said it had documented a shift of pirated goods from physical marketplaces to online, in part because the pandemic depressed global tourism.

The report also identified a new ecosystem: “piracy-as-a-service,” in which operators offer website templates, databases of infringed video content or other features that make it easy for customers to set up pirate operations.

“The global trade in counterfeit and pirated goods undermines critical U.S. innovation and creativity and harms American workers,” Katherine Tai, the United States trade representative, said in a statement. “This illicit trade also increases the vulnerability of workers involved in the manufacturing of counterfeit goods to exploitative labor practices, and the counterfeit goods can pose significant risks to the health and safety of consumers and workers around the world.”

The report also examined the impact of counterfeit goods on the people who make them, part of the administration’s focus on how trade affects workers. Because these businesses operate outside the law, counterfeiting and piracy often go hand in hand with unsafe working conditions, child labor, forced labor and other issues, the trade representative’s office said.

“Counterfeit manufacturing often occurs in clandestine work places outside the reach of labor market regulations and inspection systems, which increases the vulnerability of workers to exploitative labor practices,” the report said.

The report will result in no immediate penalties for the named companies, though it said the goal of publishing such a list was to “motivate appropriate action by the private sector and governments.”

Congress is mulling some actions that could clamp down on Chinese e-commerce sales, including counterfeit goods, to the United States as part of a major legislative effort at promoting U.S. economic competitiveness with China.

One provision, proposed by Representative Earl Blumenauer, Democrat of Oregon, would raise the threshold for the dollar value of a good that could come into the United States duty free from certain countries, namely China.

That level, called de minimis, is set at $800 in the United States. That’s far above the level in many other countries, a policy that critics say has led to an explosion of imported e-commerce packages, including some unsafe and illicit goods.

School officials arrested for ‘concealing’ sexual assault

Court records suggest they declined to report the alleged abuse involving a baseball bat

Five employees at a private school in Texas have been arrested on felony charges after being accused of failing to report an alleged sexual assault of a student to police, a court affidavit shows. One student was also reportedly taken into custody.

Three administrators and two coaches at Midland Christian School – including superintendent Jared Lee and athletic director Gregory McClendon – were arrested this week for “failure to report with intent to conceal neglect or abuse,” a felony, according to court records obtained by local media. All were reportedly released on bond on Wednesday.

In addition to Lee and McClendon, baseball coach Barry Russell, secondary principal Dana Ellis and assistant secondary principal Matthew Counts were also charged, while city officials told local reporters that a student was arrested for taking part in the purported assault.

Police were called to the school to investigate a possible sexual assault case involving a child in late January. Detectives were told the incident occurred about one week prior during baseball practice at Midland’s MH Christensen Stadium, where the victim said he was abused as part of “freshman initiation day.” He added that he was pushed to the ground in a locker room by fellow students, who “started hitting him” and later “assaulted [him] with a baseball bat,” according to the records.

LGBTQ book ban advocate faces child molestation charges

The affidavit notes that secondary principal Ellis was informed of the assault on January 20 and alerted Lee, the school’s superintendent, the next day. However, instead of bringing the matter to police, Lee allegedly launched an internal investigation, apparently taking no further action. Police allege that emails between school officials also show they were aware of the incident but failed to report it.

The school’s board of trustees responded to the allegations in a statement on Wednesday, confirming the five employees had been arrested and that “school officials have, and will continue to, cooperate with law enforcement and their investigation.”

“The five administrators were notified of an alleged hazing incident involving some of our student-athletes that resulted in school disciplinary action,” wrote the board’s president, Jason Stockstill, adding “The physical, spiritual, and emotional safety of our students is the most important responsibility we bear as educators and one we take seriously.”

On “advice from legal counsel,” however, the president noted that the school would offer no further comment on the incident.
