Authorities in Egypt have impounded a megaship that blocked the Suez Canal and crippled world trade for nearly a week in the face of a financial dispute with its owner.

Suez Canal Authority (SCA) chief Lieutenant General Osama Rabie said on Tuesday the hulking Ever Given would not be allowed to leave the country until a compensation amount is settled on with the vessel’s Japanese owner, Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd.

“The vessel is now officially impounded,” he told Egypt’s state-run television late on Monday. “They do not want to pay anything.”

Yumi Shinohara, deputy manager with owner Shoei Kisen’s fleet management department, confirmed the canal had made a compensation claim but gave no further details.

UK Club, the protection and indemnity insurer for the Ever Given said in a statement Egypt had filed a compensation claim for $916m against Shoei Kisen. The insurer added it was disappointed that the container ship and its crew were being held in the canal until compensation was paid.

A source with SCA, who declined to be named, told Reuters news agency earlier on Tuesday a court order had been issued for the ship to be held, adding that negotiations were still taking place.

Scientific American to begin using term 'climate emergency,' says it 'agreed with major news outlets worldwide' to do so

'This is a statement of science, not politics,' the magazine insisted

Scientific American — the longtime publication that covers the "intersection of science and society" — announced Monday that it will begin using the term "climate emergency" in its coverage of climate change.

In publishing the op-ed "We Are Living in a Climate Emergency, and We're Going to Say So," senior editor Mark Fischetti called attention to the magazine's decision, which insists that "this is a statement of science, not politics."

A Scientific American tweet added that it "agreed with major news outlets worldwide" in enacting the "climate emergency" terminology:

Scientific American has agreed with major news outlets worldwide to start using the term “climate emergency” in its… https://t.co/SfkeH1OGXB

— Scientific American (@Scientific American)1618236001.0

What else does Scientific American have to say?

The magazine said that adopting the term "climate emergency" is "not a journalistic fancy. We are on solid scientific ground."

The op-ed went on to cite a January article from its pages that noted "more than 11,000 scientists from 153 countries had signed a report to signify their agreement that the world is facing a climate emergency that requires bold action. As of April 9, another 2,100 had signed on."

The magazine, further citing the article, said that as of January, "1,859 jurisdictions in 33 countries have issued climate emergency declarations covering more than 820 million people."

Fischetti wrote that "journalism should reflect what science says: the climate emergency is here."

What does the magazine's statement say?

The op-ed included Scientific American's formal statement:

April 12, 2021

From Covering Climate Now, Scientific American, Columbia Journalism Review, the Nation, the Guardian, Noticias Telemundo, Al Jazeera, Asahi Shimbun and La Repubblica:

The planet is heating up way too fast. It's time for journalism to recognize that the climate emergency is here.

This is a statement of science, not politics. Thousands of scientists—including James Hansen, the NASA scientist who put the problem on the public agenda in 1988, and David King and Hans Schellnhuber, former science advisers to the British and German governments, respectively—have said humanity faces a "climate emergency."

Why "emergency"? Because words matter. To preserve a livable planet, humanity must take action immediately. Failure to slash the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will make the extraordinary heat, storms, wildfires and ice melt of 2020 routine and could "render a significant portion of the Earth uninhabitable," warned the January Scientific American article.

The media's response to COVID-19 provides a useful model. Guided by science, journalists have described the pandemic as an emergency, chronicled its devasting [sic] impacts, called out disinformation and told audiences how to protect themselves (with masks and social distancing, for example).

We need the same commitment to the climate story. As partners in Covering Climate Now, a global consortium of hundreds of news outlets, we will present coverage in the lead-up to Earth Day, April 22, 2021, around the theme "Living Through the Climate Emergency." We invite journalists everywhere to join us.

NCAA ‘unequivocally supports’ transgender athletes participating in women's sports and will pull championships from states that disagree

'Fair competition'

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, the country's largest organization regulating college athletics, announced this week that it "firmly and unequivocally supports" the inclusion of transgender athletes in college sports competitions.

The announcement comes as Republican-controlled legislatures in multiple states around the country consider legislation banning transgender individuals who are biologically male from competing in women's sports. Proponents of the legislation argue that to allow such individuals to participate is "unfair" to female athletes.

However, in a statement issued Monday, the NCAA insisted its dedication to including transgender athletes in women's sports is for the purpose of producing "fair competition."

"The NCAA Board of Governors firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports. This commitment is grounded in our values of inclusion and fair competition," the statement said.

The organization cited a policy implemented in 2010, which "requires testosterone suppression treatment for transgender women to compete in women's sports," as a means to provide a "more inclusive path for transgender participation in college sports."

"Inclusion and fairness can coexist for all student-athletes, including transgender athletes, at all levels of sport," the board argued. "Our clear expectation as the Association's top governing body is that all student-athletes will be treated with dignity and respect."

What else?

The board also raised eyebrows in the statement by vowing to pull championship events out of states that disagree with its policies regarding transgender athletes' participation, a move that was immediately celebrated by transgender advocates.

"When determining where championships are held, NCAA policy directs that only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination should be selected," the statement said. "We will continue to closely monitor these situations to determine whether NCAA championships can be conducted in ways that are welcoming and respectful of all participants."

The American Civil Liberties Union, a left-wing advocacy organization, commended the decision on Monday, firing a warning shot to state lawmakers.

"Today the NCAA confirmed it will pull events from states with bills banning trans students from participating in school sports," the group said in a tweet, adding, "State lawmakers take note: discriminating against trans youth is wrong, against the law, and costly."

"Dangerous proposals around the country are putting transgender young people at risk," National Center for Transgender Equality deputy executive director Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen added. "The NCAA is making it clear that their Board of Governors supports transgender athletes, and the board should hold those states passing these harmful laws accountable."

Overview

DC Water has installed about a dozen automated flushing devices (autoflushers) on hydrants throughout the District.

When water sits in aging pipes, natural corrosion can cause discoloration. We see this most often in neighborhoods with older water mains and low water use. DC Water crews routinely flush hydrants in these neighborhoods to improve water quality. Hydrant flushing replaces stationary water with fresh water from the distribution system.

EU to Lay Out $1 Trillion Debt Plan to Start Rivaling Treasuries

The European Union is set to lay out its blueprint to raise nearly $1 trillion of debt over five years as it seeks to fund its recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

The bloc is aiming to issue the first debt under its NextGenerationEU stimulus in June and will use a “state of the art” platform to begin selling bonds and bills via a network of primary bank dealers by September, according to a draft of the plan seen by Bloomberg. Almost a third of the 806 billion euros ($962 billion) will be in green bonds, using a framework of rules to be published in early summer. “The Commission will need to execute financing operations up to EUR 150-200 billion per year over the period to end 2026,” the document stated, with an announcement on it due Wednesday. “By June 2021, the Commission will be ready to begin mobilising the funds.”

The document highlights the ambition of the EU’s first meaningful entry into bond markets, which will see the total of outstanding bonds closing in on that of Spain’s this decade. It also lays the foundation to challenge U.S. Treasuries in coming years as a haven asset, providing a boost to integration in the region and for its common currency. Bonds will be issued and regularly sold across a range of maturities from between three and 30 years, while there will also be short-dated bills, according to the document. It highlighted the latter as a quick way to raise money, at least in the initial phase of the program.

Investors are likely to be keen. The bloc began selling social bonds tied to the funding of a jobs program last year, and those sales have broken global demand records. The EU will begin to issue debt via auction for the first time, as well as syndications via banks. The new platform will be provided by a national central bank that is already used by one of the “large sovereign issuers,” according to the document.

Iran vows to start 60% uranium enrichment in breach of nuclear deal

Iran said Tuesday that it will start uranium enrichment to the purity level of 60 percent, just days after a suspected Israeli attack on its Natanz nuclear facility, local media reported. Speaking in Vienna on Tuesday, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi was quoted by the semi-official Tasmin News Agency as saying the decision was conveyed to the International Atomic Energy Agency in a letter earlier in the day. The move would be a serious breach of the nuclear deal that Iran inked with world powers in 2015.

Iran had in recent months raised enrichment to 20 percent purity, far above the 3.67 percent limit under the nuclear deal. Araqchi also said that not only will Iran soon replace the centrifuges that were damaged by the sabotage at Natanz, but it will also install an additional 1,000 centrifuges of 50 percent higher enrichment capacity at the nuclear facility, Iran's Press TV reported. The New York Times reported that an explosive device was secretly brought into the Natanz facility and detonated remotely, destroying the power system.

Iran had just announced the day before the attack that it had started up advanced IR-6 uranium enrichment centrifuges at Natanz, also in a breach of its undertakings under the 2015 nuclear deal which stipulates that Iran can only use first-generation IR-1 centrifuges. Under the pact originally struck with six major powers Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States Iran agreed to curb its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. But U.S. President Joe Biden's predecessor Donald Trump criticized the deal as flawed and pulled the United States out of it in May 2018. Iran countered the U.S. move by increasing its nuclear activities, such as uranium enrichment, beyond the limits set in the deal and developing its nuclear facilities and enrichment capabilities.

Talks have been held to find a way for the United States to re-enter the agreement.

Aluminum Jumps to Highest Since 2018 on Strong China Trade Data

Aluminum surged to the highest in almost three years, leading gains in base metals as Chinese trade data buoyed the outlook for demand.

China’s export momentum remained strong in March after record gains in February, while imports topped expectations, customs data showed Tuesday. The figures suggest the global economic rebound is helping spur demand in Asian nation, the biggest base-metals consumer. Aluminum demand is rising just as China’s push to cut carbon emissions spurs expectations that aluminum-supply expansions will be curbed. Speculation that aluminum output in the Xinjiang region in China is to be restricted also saw open interest in aluminum contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange “expanding,” according to Marex’s Alastair Munro. Commerzbank AG said China was badly affected by the coronavirus pandemic in the first quarter of 2020, so the reference basis for the trade report is relatively low. “Nonetheless, the data do indicate that China still has a considerable appetite for commodities,” Commerzbank analyst Daniel Briesemann said in a note.

Aluminum for three-month delivery on the London Metal Exchange rose 1.4% to settle at $2,293 a metric ton at 5:51 p.m. local time. It touched $2,304, the highest since June 2018. All other main metals on the LME advanced, with copper up 0.4%.

A truck filled with highly radioactive material was stolen from a Mexican town in an armed heist on Sunday morning, local authorities say.

The truck was taken from the town of Teoloyucan, a satellite town in the state of Mexico, which surrounds Mexico City. National security agencies said the equipment being carried in the truck, a QSA Delta 800 gamma ray projector, is extremely dangerous and could prompt a fatal dose of radiation to those who come near it.

“If the radioactive material is extracted from the container, is moved, or makes direct contact with any persons handling it, permanent injury can occur in minutes. In case of making direct contact with the source over the course of hours or days, the effects can prove fatal,” a warning issued by the National Commission Nuclear Security and Safeguarding said, according to the Independent.

The commission said someone being 30 meters away could still be exposed to radiation through the device.

Members of the Commission for National Civil Protection are being dispatched across central Mexico, and the truck is believed to now be in Mexico City.

Texas Bill Will Label Parents Getting Sex Change Hormones and Surgeries for Their Children as Child Abuse

A new bill in Texas seeks to protect children from getting sex change procedures that they may regret later in life by criminalizing parents who do so.

Obtaining these treatments for children would be considered child abuse under the legislation.

The Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs held a hearing over the bill on Monday.

“Children are unable to give informed consent. This bill gives children a chance to get to adulthood with intact bodies,” Republican Executive Committee Member Jill Glover testified.

SB1646 would prohibit parents from “administering or supplying, or consenting to or assisting in the administering or supplying of puberty suppression prescription drug or cross-sex hormone to a child, other than an intersex child, for the purpose of gender transitioning or gender reassignment.”

The bill, if passed, will also remove children from the care of people enabling or forcing hormone treatment and sex change surgeries.

“Parents who break the proposed law would be in violation of the state’s Family Code, which would trigger a Child Protective Investigation, resulting in the possible removal of the child from their home, according to Perry’s office. Doctors who perform sex change treatments would also be accused of child abuse, which would trigger a license investigation by the Texas Medical Board,” KVUE reports.

The bill will characterize hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and puberty blockers as child abuse.

The left is on a rampage over the bill, carefully claiming in articles that the bill would deny healthcare for trans children — when in reality it would only force them to wait until they are adults to make life altering decisions.

The bill is one of many seeking to protect children from the controversial treatments across the nation. Last month, the Arkansas state legislature passed the first-ever ban on transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, and HRTs for minors. There are at least 17 other states considering similar laws.

Google ex-CEO Eric Schmidt Calls for Full Communism

You wouldn’t think it, but this white paper and its super boring title - “Community-Centered Wireless Infrastructure Networks” - is a declaration of war by Google against big telecom.

Why is that? Well, Google and Eric Schmidt are running a campaign to lobby cities to have them own and control their own broadband system, instead of the way it works now, where they allow AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile to do so.

Most people think that telecom is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, but cities actually have a significant role in telecom deployment, because you have to attach equipment to all sorts of municipal infrastructure and it is muni governments that oversee such activities. In fact, cities were the first telephone regulators in the late 19th century, and had significant authority all the way until the Telecom Act of 1996, spurred by merchants who demanded that cities regulate telephones so there wouldn’t be wires strung all over the city streets from competing phone networks.

It’s now back to the future. Schmidt, along with a host of philanthropists and tech money, is saying that cities should work with a ‘neutral host partner,’ aka a public utility, when rolling out 5G services, not a ‘retail provider,’ which would be your standard telecom. In other words, cities should run the infrastructure. All hail Comrade Schmidt and his call for public agencies to own the means of production.

https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/google-ex-ceo-eric-schmidt-calls

In truth, Schmidt just wants cities to open up the wireless market for competition so big tech firms can enter the game by underpricing telecom service. In doing so, he is engaging a direct strike at the business model of retail telecom players. It’s a return shot at telecom firms, who have been going after Google for the last few years in various ways. Here’s AT&T, for instance, calling for reform of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the law underpinning Google’s business model

The megaship which blocked the Suez Canal has been 'seized' on court orders

The Ever Given was seized due to its failure to pay $900 million in compensation

The vessel became lodged in the crucial global trade artery for 6 days last month

A megaship which blocked Egypt's Suez Canal and crippled world trade for nearly a week has been 'seized' on court orders until the vessel's owners pay $900 million, canal authorities said Tuesday.

The MV Ever Given was seized due to its failure to pay $900 million in compensation, Suez Canal Authority chief Osama Rabie was quoted as saying by Al-Ahram, a state-run newspaper.

The Japanese-owned, Taiwanese operated and Panama flagged vessel got diagonally stuck in the narrow but crucial global trade artery in a sandstorm on March 23, setting in motion a mammoth six-day-long effort by Egyptian personnel and international salvage specialists to dislodge it.

Maritime data company Lloyd's List said the blockage had held up an estimated $9.6 billion worth of cargo each day between Asia and Europe.

The canal is economically vital to Egypt, which lost between $12 and $15 million in revenues for each day the waterway was closed, according to the canal authority.

The $900 million compensation figure was calculated based on 'the losses incurred by the grounded vessel as well as the flotation and maintenance costs, according to a court ruling handed down by the Ismailia Economic Court,' Rabie added.

He did not explicitly cite the Japanese owners Shoei Kisen Kaisha, but a different source at the SCA said Tuesday that negotiations over damages between that company, insurance firms and the canal authority were ongoing.

Rep. Ashley Hinson seeks to revive Trump's deregulation executive orders

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, introduced new legislation Tuesday to make permanent five of former President Donald Trump's executive orders that President Biden already repealed.

The freshman lawmaker authored the "Red Tape Reduction Act" to restore Trump's deregulatory actions that Hinson said were instrumental in helping small businesses and the economy grow.

"President Trump worked to unravel the regulatory web in Washington and pull back the heavy hand of government that hurts small businesses, farmers and workers," Hinson said in a statement to Fox News. "Coupled with tax cuts, this unleashed the strongest economy in modern history."

The most notable of Trump's executive orders Hinson wants to make permanent is Executive Order 13771, which required the federal government to eliminate two regulations for each new one an agency enacts. The executive actions also required agencies to designate an official to implement regulatory reform and to require the federal government to act fairly and transparently when putting new regulations in place.

Watch Live: Authorities will give "major" update in Kristin Smart case

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kristin-smart-paul-flores-arrested-watch-live-stream-today-2021-04-13/

Law enforcement officials in California will hold a news conference Tuesday afternoon to share "major developments" in the case of Kristin Smart, a Cal Poly student who disappeared in May 1996. Paul Flores, who is considered the prime suspect in the case, was arrested earlier Tuesday and charged with murder.

The San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Office will update the public at 2 p.m. PT.

Smart disappeared while returning to a dorm at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, after a party on May 24, 1996. A fellow student who was with Smart earlier in the night previously told CBS News' "48 Hours" that the pair separated when Smart wanted to stay out, and she wanted to go home. "To this day, like, I was like, why — why did I just let her go by herself?" her friend, Margarita Campos, asked.

The 19-year-old Smart was seen with Flores, who was also a student, before she disappeared. Her body has never been found.

Earlier this year, Flores was arrested on a weapons charge that came "as a result of information obtained during our search warrants last year at the home of Paul Flores as part of the Kristin Smart investigation," according to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office. He was released on bail.

Last month, investigators raided the home of Flores' father, Ruben, CBS Los Angeles reported. Ruben Flores was also arrested on Tuesday and booked on suspicion of accessory after a felony, the AP reported.

Minneapolis City Council To Offer Looting Passports

The Babylon Bee 4/13/2021

MINNEAPOLIS, MN—The Minneapolis City Council has voted unanimously for the equitable distribution of looting passports to peaceful protestors.

“It can be confusing for citizens to know if a crime is acceptable or not based on the ebb and flow of the City Council’s agenda,” said Councilperson Maria Saliva. “With looting passports, protestors can know when it’s OK to loot stores and destroy businesses in the name of social justice.”

Looting passports could not come at a better time, as eight months have passed since looting was in vogue, and many peaceful protestors are in dire need of updated name-brand clothing and bigger TVs.

When asked whether he believed looting passports could be seen as unfairly punishing honest business owners, President Biden replied, “Well, you can’t swat a cow gator without priming the barrel bark, which gobbles up the huffles for good ol’ spazamaturble. You know?”

At press time, the City Council was discussing the logistics of distributing the passports based on a citizen’s melanin levels.

“Obviously, fighting the oppression of white supremacy and ushering in a utopia of equity for all begins with looting,” stated a council member for Minneapolis from his suburban mansion surrounded by police.

Japan to start releasing Fukushima water into sea in 2 years

TOKYO — Japan’s government announced Tuesday it would start releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean in two years. It’s a move that’s fiercely opposed by fishermen, residents and Japan’s neighbors.

The decision, long speculated at but delayed for years because of safety worries and protests, came during a meeting of Cabinet ministers who endorsed the ocean release as the best option.

China expresses 'grave concern' over Japan decision to release Fukushima nuclear wastewater

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "grave concern" on the morning of April 13 over the Japanese government's decision to release into the sea treated radioactive wastewater from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the site of a meltdown following the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.

In an April 13 statement, China criticized the Japanese government, saying, "Japan has unilaterally decided to release Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea before exhausting all safe ways of disposal and without fully consulting with neighboring countries and the international community."

It also added: "The oceans are mankind's shared property. How the wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is handled is not merely a domestic issue for Japan. We strongly urge the Japanese side to face up to its responsibility, follow the science, fulfill its international obligations and duly respond to the serious concerns of the international community, neighboring countries and its own people."

Ahead of the Japanese government making the decision, China's foreign ministry spokesperson had said on April 12, "To safeguard international public interests and Chinese people's health and safety, China has expressed grave concern to the Japanese side through the diplomatic channel."

22 Republican State Attorneys General Argue Congress Making D.C. a State Is Unconstitutional

Twenty-two Republican Attorneys General wrote a letter to Congress and the Biden administration, contending Washington, D.C. cannot become a state through legislation but only through a Constitutional amendment.

“If this Congress passes and President Biden signs this Act into law, we will use every legal tool at our disposal to defend the United States Constitution and the rights of our states from this unlawful effort to provide statehood to the District of Columbia,” Fox News reported.

“Accordingly, not only does Congress lack the authority to create an entirely new state out of the District, but it also does not have the authority to reduce the size of the District to the equivalent of a few federal buildings and surrounding parks,” the letter concluded.

The letter comes as Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) has introduced H.R. 51 to shrink the district while transitioning the vacated area into a state, dubbed the “State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth.”

Republicans regard D.C. statehood as a naked power grab, and many legal scholars are confident the Supreme Court would strike down D.C. statehood as unconstitutional for the reasons these authorities have set forth over the years.

For instance, the Office of Legal Council in 2007 said it was unconstitutional when Democrats attempted to give D.C. voting power in Congress without making it a full state. The Justice Department of former President Carter and former President Reagan believed the conversion of Washington D.C. into a state was unconstitutional, along with Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy—a Democrat—who also said in 1963 a similar proposal was unconstitutional.

Moreover, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, when he was sitting on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, opposed such a measure, saying, “It is … fanciful to consider as ‘politically powerless’ a city whose residents include a high proportion of the officers of all three branches of the federal government and their staffs.”

The Heritage Foundation also points to three arguments against H.R. 51:

Our nation’s capital was always meant to be unique. The founders wanted it to be a federal district, existing beyond the confines or influence of any one state.

H.R. 51 would require Congress to ignore the plain command of the 23rd Amendment.

Even those who support D.C. statehood admit district residents enjoy special benefits due to where they live and would enjoy an outsize influence in Congress.

The bill will be considered Wednesday in a House Oversight Committee hearing before a potential House vote the following week. 215 Democrat members have co-sponsored the bill.

The states which joined the letter were South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Texas, Utah, Florida, Alabama, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi, West Virginia, Idaho, Kansas, Arizona, and Oklahoma.

Thugs for the Chyna Communist Party try to suppress dissent.

Hong Kong Epoch Times Vows to Never Give Up After Attack on Printing Press

April 13, 2021

A day after a violent attack at the printing press of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times, the outlet said it would never give in to intimidation, pressure, or sabotage attempts by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), at a press conference in Washington on April 13.

In the early hours of Monday, four men broke into the printing warehouse of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times. The perpetrators smashed printing equipment with sledgehammers and tossed construction debris on it before fleeing the scene in a white van. They threatened the staff onsite not to do anything that would compel them to take action.

The printing plant suffered extensive damage from the assault, which affected multiple computers, the transmitter, and a computer, and forced the Hong Kong edition to suspend printing for the time being.

June Guo, the director of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times, said the attack was the latest in a long line of actions aimed at crippling the outlet.

“The Chinese Communist Party has used every trick in the book to suppress The Epoch Times in Hong Kong in an attempt to prevent the city’s people from getting independent news,” Guo said. “The Epoch Times is one of the few remaining voices in the Hong Kong media landscape that does not bend to the CCP.”

In November 2019, during the height of the mass pro-democracy protests in the city, four masked men broke into the same printing facility and set fire to the equipment. The arson resulted in an estimated damage of $40,000. The printing press has been targeted three other times since its founding in 2006.

While The Epoch Times Hong Kong will increase security measures, that in itself is not enough to counter the effect of declining press freedom, Guo said…

ERCOT Urges Texans To Conserve Power As Another Cold Blast Sparks Grid 'Emergency'

Texas' power grid operator, Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which came under immense pressure months ago for mishandling the historic winter storm in mid-February, urged customers Tuesday afternoon to "reduce their electricity use" as a cold front swept through, causing power demand to spike. ERCOT told customers to please "conserve energy at this time. Consumers and businesses are urged to reduce their electricity use this afternoon and into the evening."

Texas' power grid operator also said: "Due to a combination of high gen outages typical in April & higher-than-forecasted demand caused by a stalled cold front over TX, ERCOT may enter emergency conditions.

With a cold front moving through the Lone Star state some generation units were already down for repair work. Bloomberg reports one spot price for Texas power jumped as much as 3,300% on Tuesday.

In particular, the average spot at ERCOT's North Hub jumped more than 3,300% to $656.45 a megawatt-hour this afternoon. Spot prices briefly surged to $900 in areas.

The grid has seen tight supply conditions as below-average temperatures pour into the state this week. So far, "We do not expect customer outages. Declaring an emergency would allow us to access additional resources," ERCOT said.

... and the internet was not enthused by ERCOT's grid warning today:

On Twitter users said: "Let me get this straight — you nearly killed millions of Texans because of poor resource management and being woefully unprepared in February and suddenly you need us to conserve electricity because we are in to 50s??? How are any of you still in charge of our energy???"

Another said, "I've already heard neighbors say they have lost power for a few minutes here and there. They were already testing their system, whatever that is." "Those low 60s! Can't expect @ERCOT_ISO to handle that kind of a cold snap," a user said.

Toshiba president to step down on Wed.

Sources say the president of Japanese industrial conglomerate Toshiba intends to resign only days after the firm received a buyout offer from an equity fund.

Unnamed sources say President and Chief Executive Officer Kurumatani Nobuaki is expected to tender his resignation at a board meeting on Wednesday. Kurumatani reportedly told people close to him that he is stepping down because he accomplished his mission of putting Toshiba back on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's First Section in January after restructuring the business. The reports of his planned resignation came shortly after British-based CVC Capital Partners proposed the buyout deal on April 6. The fund plans to acquire a majority of Toshiba shares to take the company private so the management would be free from the influence of activist shareholders who are at odds with Kurumatani.

But some board members are skeptical about the motive of the buyout, because Kurumatani was a former head of CVC's Japan operations.

Wall Street, Corporations Team Up with Soros-Funded Group to Pressure States Against Election Reforms

Wall Street firms, multinational corporations, and giant law firms are teaming up with the Brennan Justice Center, which is heavily funded by billionaire George Soros, to pressure states against reforms to their election process.

After Georgia lawmakers passed sweeping reform legislation to protect the state’s elections, including requiring photo identification to vote, corporate executives have blasted the move and many are suggesting they will boycott the state by moving business elsewhere.

Now, Fortune 500 corporate executives, Wall Street firms, and attorneys at some of the nation’s largest law offices are reportedly working with the left-wing Brennan Justice Center to pressure state lawmakers from passing similar election reforms.

The corporate coalition is seeking to sue states for passing such reforms while also threatening to pull their business endeavors from states that do pass reforms.

The New York Times reports:

Many of Wall Street’s most powerful firms are also part of the effort, including Simpson Thacher; Skadden Arps; Akin Gump; Cravath, Swaine & Moore; Ropes & Gray Sullivan & Cromwell; Weil, Gotshal & Manges and Wachtel Lipton. [Emphasis added]

“We plan to challenge any election law that would impose unnecessary barriers on the right to vote and that would disenfranchise underrepresented groups in our country,” Mr. Karp said. [Emphasis added]

The firms will work with the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonprofit organization, to identify laws that it might challenge in court. Mr. Karp said that could include challenging the voting law that Republicans passed in Georgia last month, and which set off a national debate over voting rights. [Emphasis added]

Over the weekend, more than 100 corporate executives discussed in a meeting the importance for them of publicly opposing election reform legislation like Georgia’s. The meeting included executives from credit card company American Express, pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., and clothing company Levi Strauss & Co., among others.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), head of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), has been lobbying GOP leaders to cut ties with corporations and Wall Street in favor of protecting working and middle class interests against the encroachment of concentrated corporate power.

No corporation should be more powerful than the government you elect!

— Jim Banks (@RepJimBanks) April 13, 2021

The Brennan Justice Center is targeting state lawmakers in Georgia, Texas, New Hampshire, Florida, Michigan, and Arizona whom they claim are promoting “voter suppressive bills” with provisions that require voter ID for those voting via absentee ballot, prohibiting the mass unsolicited mailout of ballots, and increasing fines for state officials who refuse to clean up voter rolls.

The group rakes in millions every year from Soros, corporate interests, big banks, and other left-wing organizations. In 2019, the last year for which financial data is available, the Brennan Justice Center’s most high-profile donors included Soros’s Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, Bank of America, the Tides Foundation, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, PayPal, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, PepsiCo, and Comcast NBCUniversal.

Supreme Court to Ninth Circuit: We Mean What We Say on Religious Liberty

It’s rare that a Supreme Court decision provides hints of impatience or frustration among the justices with members of lower federal courts, but that was the case late Friday with Ritesh Tandon, et al. v. Gavin Newsom (2021).

Consider the concluding paragraph(s) of the 5-4 decision in which the conservative majority struck down, yet again, the infamous Ninth Circuit’s decisions upholding California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s regulatory monstrosity of COVID-19 lockdown measures against religious assembly:

This is the fifth time the Court has summarily rejected the Ninth Circuit’s analysis of California’s COVID restrictions on religious exercise. See Harvest Rock Church v. Newsom, 592 U. S. _ (2020); South Bay, 592 U. S. _; Gish v. Newsom, 592 U. S. _ (2021); Gateway City, 592 U. S. _.

It is unsurprising that such litigants are entitled to relief. California’s Blueprint System contains myriad exceptions and accommodations for comparable activities, thus requiring the application of strict scrutiny.

And historically, strict scrutiny requires the State to further ‘interests of the highest order’ by means ‘narrowly tailored in pursuit of those interests.’ Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah, 508 U. S. 520, 546 (1993) (internal quotation marks omitted). That standard ‘is not watered down’; it ‘really means what it says.’” Ibid. (quotation altered).

That is about as decisive a repudiation as the justices could express short of something along the lines of “Read Our Lips: The First Amendment means what it says about religious freedom. And so do we! You got it?”

The same impatience is clear throughout the decision, beginning with the first paragraph of the decision’s analysis: “The Ninth Circuit’s failure to grant an injunction pending appeal was erroneous. This Court’s decisions have made the following points clear.”

The majority then walked the Ninth Circuit through a Constitution 101 explanation of what the lower court should not require being reminded:

“First, government regulations are not neutral and generally applicable, and therefore trigger strict scrutiny under the Free Exercise Clause, whenever they treat any comparable secular activity more favorably than religious exercise … It is no answer that a State treats some comparable secular businesses or other activities as poorly as or even less favorably than the religious exercise at issue.”

In other words, the Free Exercise Clause — that’s the one in the First Amendment that declares “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …” — requires a demonstration of strict scrutiny every time government claims it must limit religious exercise. And, oh by the way, you don’t get off the hook for violating religious freedom by treating some other institution as badly or even worse.

Then there is this from the high court’s conservative majority:

“Second, whether two activities are comparable for purposes of the Free Exercise Clause must be judged against the asserted government interest that justifies the regulation at issue … Comparability is concerned with the risks various activities pose, not the reasons why people gather.”

In other words, it should be of no consequence to government what might be the particular nature of the religious assembly — which in this specific case involved home-based Bible studies — because the only permissible issue to consider in comparing activities proposed for regulation is their comparative risks.

Who shadows Who?

Top Trump Admin Official Praises Biden For Adopting ‘Nearly All’ Of His Predecessor’s China Policies

Brooke Rollins, CEO and president of the newly-launched America First Policy Institute (AFPI), commended the Biden administration Tuesday for carrying over key aspects of former President Donald Trump’s general foreign policy and specific approach to China.

Rollins told Daily Caller that “the Trump Administration set and reset policy on our most important foreign relationships in such a compelling fashion that you can even see the Biden Administration beginning to acquiesce to nearly all of it.”

“Despite stumbles out of the gate, you now see his DHS Secretary, for example, discussing building the border wall, and individuals like John Kerry and Tony Blinken grind their teeth at how tough working with China is,” she continued. “Only time will tell whether the Biden Administration is up to meeting the standard of responsible governance that we set.”

Rollins served as Trump’s Domestic Policy Council Director for the majority of his term in office, and her comments came just after she and other former Trump officials formally launched AFPI earlier in the day.

She stated during a press call for the launch that while AFPI clearly believes in Trump’s agenda, the group will reach across the aisle to find compromise on economic, education, labor, national security and other policies that will benefit American workers.

Pressed by Daily Caller on the call to comment on the Biden administration pursuing several Trump-era priorities — including national 5G expansion, incentivizing the re-shoring of manufacturing jobs, and supply chain security — Rollins noted that many of the previous administration’s policies had received bipartisan support. She added that while she did not have a full list of overlapping policies in front of her, she saw encouraging signs in Biden’s first days in office for future potential bipartisanship.

Trump’s former Small Business Administration Administrator Linda McMahon and National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow will join Rollins as the chair and vice chair of the new non-profit group.

AFPI currently boasts 40 staffers working across 20 different issue centers and a first-year operating budget of $20 million, making it by far the largest group formed by ex-Trump officials to date.

Rollins told press that she plans to double AFPI’s funding over the next year and has designs on opening new offices in Miami, New York City and Washington, D.C.

Fauci & FDA’s Woodcock Responsible for Hundreds of Thousands of American Deaths for Smearing HCQ

4-13-21

Over the past year political biases prevented the American medical community from promoting potential treatments like Hydroxychloroquine from treating the coronavirus. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the media, and the American medical community shot down its effectiveness early last year after President Trump promoted the drug. This was despite this proof of its effectiveness in treating the virus.

Today over 232 clinical trials have been published on the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine on the coronavirus. Using hydroxychloroquine in early treatment, before a patient becomes deathly ill, shows significant improvement according to the studies listed at c19HCQ.com. Yet many doctors still frown on administering the drug to patients as a prophylactic or in early treatment because of Dr. Fauci and the politicized medical community.

On Tuesday Dr. Steven Hatfill, infectious disease expert, told the War Room that the medical bureaucracy blocked an effective treatment in hydroxychloroquine so they could push through experimental vaccines.

Dr. Hatfill told War Room hydroxychloroquine is proven to be effective and costs roughly 60 cents per pill. However, the existence of a proven effective treatment would not have allowed Dr. Fauci and FDA’s Janet Woodcock to expedite covid vaccines.

“You don’t need a vaccine,” Dr. Hatfill said.

“It’s quite evident that Dr. Fauci, Dr. Woodcock, Dr. [Rick] Bright are responsible for hundreds of thousands of America deaths for causing this drug to pick up a bad name,” Dr. Hatfill said.

Dr. Hatfill is right. is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Wells Fargo profit beats estimates as bank frees reserve funds

Wells Fargo & Co reported first-quarter profit ahead of Wall Street estimates on Wednesday as the bank reduced its reserves by $1.6 billion and costs tied to its years-old sales practices scandal stabilized. The San Francisco-based lender did not report material restructuring and remediation charges in the quarter as Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf undertakes what he has said will be a “multi-year journey” to overhaul the bank.

The fourth-largest U.S. lender said profit rose to $4.74 billion, or $1.05 per share, in the three months ended March, from $653 million, or 1 penny per share, a year earlier. Analysts on average had expected a profit of 70 cents per share, according to the IBES estimate from Refinitiv. The loan loss reserve release added 28 cents to the earnings per share.

The slight year-earlier profit was caused by an exceptionally large provision for potential loan losses, as U.S. banks braced for unpaid bills due to the COVID-19 pandemic shuttering the economy and pushing millions out of work. Since then, an ultra-loose monetary policy, trillions in stimulus support and an accelerated vaccination program have largely put the world’s largest economy on a more solid footing.

Earlier in the day, JPMorgan Chase & Co said it released more than $5 billion in reserves in the first quarter, helping the largest U.S. bank’s earnings jump almost 400%.Wells Fargo reported overhead, or efficiency ratio, which measures cost per dollar of revenue, of 77%, from 74% a year earlier. Pre-tax, pre-provision profit fell 13% to $4.07 billion. Changes in pre-provision profit are more important this quarter than usual because they are not impacted by different judgments banks make about future loan losses, analysts have said.

Wells Fargo has been operating under penalties from regulators since 2016 when details of a sales scandal emerged and led to the departure of two chief executives and billions of dollars in litigation and remediation charges and a Federal Reserve imposed asset cap of $1.95 trillion. The asset limit has kept Wells Fargo from freely increasing loans and deposits to boost interest revenue and better cover costs. Other banks’ balance sheets have swelled. Last year Scharf said he was looking for $10 billion of costs to cut over several years from Wells Fargo’s roughly $54 billion annual expense base because its overhead ratio was worse than at peers. “Charge-offs are at historic lows and we are making changes to improve our operations and efficiency, but low interest rates and tepid loan demand continued to be a headwind for us in the quarter,” Scharf said on Wednesday.

Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff has died in a federal prison

Bernie Madoff, the financier who pleaded guilty to orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, has died in a federal prison, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Madoff died at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, apparently from natural causes, the person said. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

Last year, Madoff’s lawyers filed court papers to try to get the 82-year-old released from prison in the COVID-19 pandemic, saying he had suffered from end-stage renal disease and other chronic medical conditions. The request was denied. Madoff admitted swindling thousands of clients out of billions of dollars in investments over decades.

A court-appointed trustee has recovered more than $13 billion of an estimated $17.5 billion that investors put into Madoff’s business. At the time of his arrest, fake account statements were telling clients they had holdings worth $60 billion.

Coinbase Global Inc. is indicated to open at $340 in its Nasdaq debut on Wednesday, a figure that may change before shares start trading.

The largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange is the latest to go public via direct listing, an alternative to a traditional initial public offering or a merger with a special purpose acquisition company.

The listing’s reference price of $250 per share is not a direct indicator of the company’s potential market capitalization, which will become more clear after the stock starts trading later on Wednesday.

Ford, GM, Other Michigan Companies Denounce State Senate Voting Bills

The businesses released a joint statement Tuesday saying they are united for principles such as equal ballot access, and against moves that limit voting in “historically disenfranchised communities.”

“Our nation is strongest when we stand together,” the corporations said in the joint statement. “We call on our elected officials to adopt these principles as they proceed in the spirit of inclusion and equality.”

The statement also criticized measures in the 39-bill package from the state Senate, which includes controlling absentee ballot applications and counting; improving election clerk training; empowering poll watchers to better observe electoral activity; and more.

Voters would have to show identification to get an absentee ballot, and governments would be prohibited from providing prepaid postage on ballot envelopes.

But Michigan Senate Republican leaders viewed the legislation not as an effort to disenfranchise communities, but as a bipartisan effort to bolster voter integrity in communities.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) said that he is looking to work with colleagues across the aisle on these bills, adding that the legislative process has only just begun.

“At all times, we must use logic, not political sentiment or ‘wokeness’ to build good public policy that will serve all Michiganders and safeguard our democracy,” he said in a statement. “If having an ID is viewed as an obstacle to voting because there is a problem with getting ID, let’s solve that problem.”

Companies are also protesting voting bills in other states. American Airlines, for example, protested Texas state Senate Bill 7, an election integrity bill, because the company said it “limited voting access.”

Pelosi’s House Democrat Margin Shrinks as Republican Representative Sworn In

April 14, 2021

House Democrats’ majority shrunk as Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) is slated to be sworn into office on Wednesday.

Letlow is joining the lower chamber after her husband, Luke Letlow, died of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus earlier this year. Julia Letlow won a special election in March.

With Letlow being sworn in, Republicans have 212 seats in the House compared with the Democrats’ 218 seats. Tie votes fail in the House, which means that Democrats cannot pass legislation if three or more of their members defect and the Republican Party fully opposes them.

And specifically, with such a narrow majority, it means that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) can only afford to lose two Democrat votes on a bill on any legislation opposed by all Democrats. It will leave Pelosi and her caucus with a small room for error on bills including President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package, another COVID-19 stimulus bill, policing bills, or gun-control legislature.

If some moderate Democrats disagree with the party on more left-wing agenda items, such items likely won’t pass.

So far, three Democrats have left the House of Representatives to join the Biden administration, including presidential adviser Cedric Richmond, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Marcia Fudge, and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.

Last week, longtime Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) died after a battle with cancer. There is one vacant seat for Republicans after Rep. Ron Wright died in February.

Four special elections are scheduled over the next several months, including three in districts that were previously held by Democrats.

A special runoff election in Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District for Richmond’s seat is scheduled to be held on April 24, as the two candidates who are facing off in the district—which has been solidly Democrat for years—are both Democrat candidates. On May 1, a special election will be held in Texas’ 6th Congressional District to fill Wright’s seat, while days later, on June 1, a special election will be held for the 1st Congressional District for Haaland’s seat.

The special election for Fudge’s seat, which is in Ohio’s 11th Congressional District, will not be held until Nov. 2

In the coming months, Democrats who won recently in centrist districts such as Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) or districts that were won by former President Donald Trump will be key swing votes.

But with such a small majority, it means that two Democrat members can try to veto certain legislation, while progressives can try to use their leverage to block bills they don’t view as leftist enough.

Despite this, top Democrats in the House have expressed optimism that they can push through favored bills.

“Frankly, we’re doing OK as Democrats as you look at this quarter,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said in March.

Pelosi, similarly, said in March that advancing her agenda is “not going to be a problem.”

Boatfag Report

Re: Cape Canaveral area traffic today, as requested by Planefags.

Ok guys, that took less time than I thought it would.

Checked both major BF sites (vesselfinder and marinetraffic) and not much showing. Marinetraffic is imo has better info for this particular data request, but there's not much showing as surface targets (skunks) that seems unusual. There are a few "unknowns" in the area but they seem to lean toward probably being fishing/sport craft. One of my skunks due east is likely USCG or Navy, but no ID available (of course).

The real oddity is that TWO Disney cruise ships appear to be at anchor off the Space Coast, the DISNEY FANTASY and the DISNEY DREAM. Both are 4,000 passenger cruise liners, and they are both homeported right there at Port Canaveral.

So, the oddity is, why the anchorage??? Are they cleaning the pier, are the ships waiting for pratique (infectious disease clearance) or something else? Or is it actually common practice?

I've no idea, but in all the years I was afloat in the Navy, as well as the cruises I've taken, I cannot recall EVER ONCE seeing a cruise ship at anchor that didn't have some issue. Those things don't make money just dropping the hook and hanging around homeport.

https://cruiseradio.net/port-canaveral-says-ships-not-likely-to-sail-before-july-2021/

According to this article, though, none of the Port Canaveral cruise ships are likely to embark passengers again until July. I suppose they could be using this as an opportunity to do some refresher training, or maybe they ran out of room and the Disney boats have to spend their time doing the bobbing cork routine (highly doubtful to me, but wtf knows?)

Nothing further to report at this time. BF out.

The former Minnesota police officer who was captured on camera fatally shooting Daunte Wright during a traffic stop will face charges in Wright's death, authorities said Wednesday.

Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department, will be charged with second-degree manslaughter in connection with Wright's death, Washington County Attorney Pete Orput announced.Wright, who is Black, died of a gunshot wound to the chest, according the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office, which classified the manner of death as a homicide.

George Floyd's girlfriend was Daunte Wright's teacher, relative says

George Floyd’s girlfriend was Daunte Wright’s former teacher, according to Wright’s aunt, who spoke at a press conference Tuesday in Minneapolis with members from both families whose loved ones died following encounters with Minnesota law enforcement.

Ben Crump, a prominent civil rights attorney representing the families of Floyd and Wright in their separate cases, held a press conference outside the Hennepin County Courthouse on Tuesday amid the ongoing trial for Derek Chauvin.

"And the craziest thing to find out today is that my family has connections to this man, to this family. His girlfriend was a teacher for my nephew," Daunte Wright’s aunt, Naisha Wright, said at the press conference. "My nephew was a lovable young man. … My nephew’s blood is on your hands."

Late Tuesday into early Wednesday marked the third consecutive night of civil unrest in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as violent demonstrations have also spilled into nearby Minneapolis. The Minnesota National Guard has bolstered its presence as the trial for Chauvin nears its ends and closing arguments are expected next week.

Naisha Wright did not name Floyd’s ex-girlfriend. But Courteney Ross, 45, testified during the trial for Chauvin two weeks ago that she and Floyd continued an on-again, off-again relationship since meeting in 2017 at a Salvation Army shelter where he worked as a security guard. She told the court they both grew addicted to opioids after initially being prescribed them for pain.

Bain joins CVC in Toshiba bid, with KKR also in the running

U.K. private equity firm CVC Capital Partners is joining forces with U.S. peer Bain Capital to draw up a proposal for the buyout of Japan's Toshiba, Nikkei has learned. U.S. private equity firm KKR is also considering its own buyout offer, while multiple U.S. and European funds are seeking investment opportunities.

Toshiba said on Wednesday that Nobuaki Kurumatani has resigned as CEO and that Chairman Satoshi Tsunakawa has been appointed as his successor. Management under the new leader will be tasked with reviewing the offers in a transparent manner.

CVC plans to submit a revised offer to privatize Toshiba that includes the participation of Bain Capital by Friday. Bain, which led the buyout of Toshiba's semiconductor unit Kioxia in 2018, has strong ties with the Japanese company. Bain has $130 billion in assets under management.

Tsunakawa on Wednesday said that the revised offer CVC will be considered once a formal proposal is received. However, any foreign investment will come under close scrutiny by the government which had revised and tightened a foreign exchange and trade law in May last year for national security reasons. Nuclear energy was classified as a sector key to Japan’s national security and Toshiba, which is involved in that business, was designated a strategically important company.

But Toshiba's significance to the country was clear even in 2017 when Singapore-based Effissimo Capital Management came under regulatory review after it ended up with a stake of more than 10% in the Japanese company which had issued shares.

CVC is hoping to invite government-linked Development Bank of Japan and Japan Investment Corp. into its bid, although it has yet to begin detailed negotiations with the two entities. It hopes those ties will help it to better assess Tokyo's view of the deal in terms of foreign investment regulations.

KKR, which is considering its own proposal, is also thought to be keen on seeking support from JIC and DBJ. The challenge foreign parties face is in adding a local partner to smooth the deal over and help investors clear regulatory hurdles so that Toshiba’s management and its employees will be open to being bought out.

U.S. private equity fund Apollo Global Management and Canada’s Brookfield Asset Management are also considering participating in the buyout.

An independent committee consisting of Toshiba's 11 board members will review the buyout offers.

US Pushing Japan's PM Suga To Issue Joint Taiwan Statement With Biden

On Friday Joe Biden will for the first time host a foreign leader at the White House and the stakes couldn't be higher, given he's reportedly urging Japan’s prime minister Yoshihide Suga to come out publicly and more forcefully alongside the United States in full support of Taiwan against what's seen as hostile Chinese encroachment on the democratic island. "Biden… is asking for a more explicit and public posture, in contrast to the private tough line we hear from Tokyo," a regional expert and head of the Japan Society Joshua Walker observes.

A bombshell new report in FT details that Biden will seek Japan's cooperation in a joint statement which shines light on "rising Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific region" at a moment Tokyo is among other regional US allies attempting to ward off expansive Chinese territorial claims. In Japan's case it's currently attempting to warn off Beijing from the Senkaku Islands, which is poised to escalate dramatically at any moment, given the Tokyo government just authorized its Coast Guard to be able to use deadly force should incidents with Chinese fishing vessels become threatening.

'Please drink' treated Fukushima water: China asks Japan's minister

China on Wednesday asked Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso to drink treated radioactive water accumulated at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, after he said it is safe to drink it.

"A Japanese official said it is okay if we drink this water, so then please drink it," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters, adding Japan's ignorance of the ecological environment is "totally unjustifiable." On Tuesday, the Japanese government decided to release the treated water into the sea from the plant in two years, a major development following more than seven years of discussions on how to discharge the water used to cool down melted fuel there. Aso, a former prime minister who has often made controversial remarks since he became deputy prime minister and finance minister in 2012, said at a press conference on Tuesday, "I have heard that we will have no harm if we drink" the treated water. Zhao said, "Japan's Minamata disease happened not far away and the pain of the local victims has yet to be healed," referring to one of the four big pollution diseases in the country.

Minamata disease, which paralyzes the human central nervous system and triggered birth defects, was caused by mercury-tainted water dumped into the sea by a Chisso Corp. chemical plant in the city in Kumamoto Prefecture, southwestern Japan. The disease, affecting thousands, was formally acknowledged by the local health authority in 1956. "Japan should not forget the historical tragedy," Zhao said, urging Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's government not to release the treated radioactive water into the sea "without permission" from other nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency. China, South Korea and Taiwan have expressed opposition to Japan's latest decision, arguing that the treated water would hurt the marine environment, food safety and human health.

Japanese officials, however, have pointed out some other countries operating nuclear power plants, including China and South Korea, have released treated radioactive water from reactors there into the environment.

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine linked to prion-based disease in vaccine recipients.

Volume 5 | Issue 1 | 1 of 3 Microbiol Infect Dis, 2021COVID-19 RNA Based Vaccines and the Risk of Prion Disease

Classen Immunotherapies, Inc., 3637 Rockdale Road, Manchester, MD 21102, E-mail: classen@vaccines.net.J. Bart Classen, MD*Citation: Classen JB. COVID-19 RNA Based Vaccines and the Risk of Prion Disease. Microbiol Infect Dis. 2021; 5(1): 1-3

"The Pfizer RNA based COVID-19 vaccine was approved by the US FDA under an emergency use authorization without long term safety data. Because of concerns about the safety of this vaccine a study was performed to determine if the vaccine could potentially induce prion based disease."

ABSTRACT

Development of new vaccine technology has been plagued with problems in the past. The current RNA based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were approved in the US using an emergency order without extensive long term safety testing. In this paper the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was evaluated for the potential to induce prion-based disease in vaccine recipients. The RNA sequence of the vaccine as well as the spike protein target interaction were analyzed for the potential to convert intracellular RNA binding proteins TAR DNA binding protein (TDP-43) and Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) into their pathologic prion conformations. The results indicate that the vaccine RNA has specific sequences that may induce TDP-43 and FUS to fold into their pathologic prion confirmations. In the current analysis a total of sixteen UG tandem repeats (ΨGΨG) were identified and additional UG (ΨG) rich sequences were identified. Two GGΨA sequences were found. Potential G Quadruplex sequences are possibly present but a more sophisticated computer program is needed to verify these. Furthermore, the spike protein, created by the translation of the vaccine RNA, binds angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a zinc containing enzyme. This interaction has the potential to increase intracellular zinc. Zinc ions have been shown to cause the transformation of TDP-43 to its pathologic prion configuration. The folding of TDP-43 and FUS into their pathologic prion confirmations is known to cause ALS, front temporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological degenerative diseases. The enclosed finding as well as additional potential risks leads the author to believe that regulatory approval of the RNA based vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 was premature and that the vaccine may cause much more harm than benefit.

Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, who emerged Tuesday as a top bidder for the Tribune Media Company, has also created a group called the Hub Project to influence U.S. elections, primarily through favorable media coverage for Democrats, the New York Times reports.

Wyss, 85, “also sits on the board of directors of the left-wing Center For American Progress, founded by longtime Clinton confidant and 2016 presidential campaign chairman John Podesta,” Fox News reported Tuesday. He also donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

The Times reports that Wyss (pronounced Veese) is behind the Hub Project, which was first exposed by Wikileaks in 2016:

The organization, called The Hub Project, was started in 2015 by one of Mr. Wyss’s charitable organizations, the Wyss Foundation, partly to shape media coverage to help Democratic causes. It now has 60 employees, according to its website, including political organizers, researchers and communications specialists. Mr. Wyss and his charitable foundation are not mentioned on The Hub Project’s website, and his role in its creation has not been previously reported.

NFL to restrict unvaccinated coaches, staff from working with players

https://nypost.com/2021/04/13/nfl-issues-memo-on-covid-19-vaccination-for-coaches-staff/

The NFL on Tuesday issued a memo to all team personnel that announced the league’s plans to move forward with COVID-19 vaccination education and accessibility and encouraged all players and staff to get vaccinated.

ESPN broke news of the memo, which came from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, John Mara, chair of the league’s executive committee, and John York, chair of NFL’s health and safety committee. It was addressed to all team chief executives, presidents, general managers and head coaches.

“In light of expanded vaccine eligibility, it is appropriate now to take further steps to educate about and promote vaccine availability and acceptance within the NFL,” said the statement, which outlined a five-point plan for teams to implement the new league guidelines.

Steps include using each team stadium or training facility as a vaccination site for club staff, players and eligible family members; scheduling and participating in vaccine information session for staff, players and family; educating employees and promoting communications regarding the benefits of vaccination; and weekly reporting of the number of employees who have been vaccinated.

The memo goes on to say that the league is “actively discussing with the NFLPA a set of protocol changes that would apply to clubs where vaccination levels reach a certain threshold and would give vaccinated individuals significant relief from requirements relating to testing, PPE use, physical distancing, travel and other subjects.”

reminder

New coronavirus vaccines defined

Dec 1, 2020

CNN Philippines

Pfizer and BioNTech

Pfizer and its German-based partner BioNTech use a new approach to making vaccines that uses messenger RNA or mRNA.

This design was chosen for a pandemic vaccine years ago because it's one that lends itself to quick turnaround. All that is needed is the genetic sequence of the virus causing the pandemic. Vaccine makers don't even need the virus itself -- just the sequence.

In this case, BioNTech researchers used a little piece of genetic material coding for a piece of the spike protein -- the structure that adorns the surface of the coronavirus, giving it that studded appearance.

Messenger RNA is a single strand of the genetic code that cells can "read" and use to make a protein. In the case of this vaccine, the mRNA instructs cells in the body to make the particular piece of the virus's spike protein. Then the immune system sees it, recognizes it as foreign and is prepared to attack when actual infection occurs.

MRNA is very fragile so it's encased in lipid nanoparticles -- a coating of a buttery substance that can melt at room temperature. That's why Pfizer's vaccine must be kept at ultracold temperatures of about minus 100 degrees F (minus 75 degrees C). That means special equipment is needed to transport and store this vaccine.

Moderna

Moderna's vaccine is also based on mRNA. "mRNA is like software for the cell" Moderna said on its website.

And like the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, it codes for cells to make a piece of the spike protein. That was a careful choice -- scientists had to pick a piece of the virus they thought would not mutate, or change much, as time passed. The virus uses the spike protein to grapple the cells it attacks and the structure does appear to stay stable through generation after generation of viral replication.

Moderna has come up with a different formulation for the lipid nanoparticles to protect the mRNA in its vaccine. These formulations are corporate secrets, but Moderna thinks its approach is better and said its vaccine can be shipped at minus 20 degrees C (minus 4 degrees F) and can be kept stable for 30 days at 2 degrees to 8 degrees C (36 to 46F), the temperature of a standard home refrigerator.

AstraZeneca

AstraZeneca's vaccine, made with a team at Britain's Oxford University, is called a vector vaccine. It uses a common cold virus called an adenovirus to carry the spike protein from the coronavirus into cells.

It also aims to make people's bodies in essence produce their own vaccines by churning out little copies of spike protein, but the delivery method is different. This adenovirus infects chimpanzees but doesn't make people sick. It was modified so that it doesn't replicate itself -- then genetically engineered to inject cells with the DNA encoding for the full coronavirus spike protein.

It's a cheaper way to make vaccines -- but slower than using RNA. The company has pledged to make its vaccine available inexpensively to countries around the world. The vaccine can be kept stable for six months at standard refrigerator temperatures, the company said.

Johnson & Johnson's vaccine arm Janssen Pharmaceuticals

Janssen's coronavirus vaccine is a recombinant vector vaccine. Like AstraZeneca's, it uses an adenovirus but this one does infect humans. It is a genetically engineered version of adenovirus 26, which can cause the common cold but the gene tinkering has disabled it. It also delivers the genetic instructions to make spike protein.

This is one vaccine that has been tested on the market before. The adenovirus 26 vector was used to make the company's Ebola vaccine, which won marketing authorization from the European Commission in July.

It's a one-shot vaccine but earlier this month Johnson & Johnson started a two-dose, Phase 3 trial in Britain, because there's some evidence that two doses provide better protection. Volunteers will get two shots, 57 days apart, or placebos.

Novavax

Maryland-based biotechnology company Novavax specializes in "protein subunit" vaccines. They use virus-like nanoparticles as a base and cover them with genetically engineered pieces of the coronavirus spike protein.

This is also a tried and true vaccine approach. A hepatitis B vaccine given to newborns is a protein subunit vaccine, as is the human papillomavirus or HPV vaccine and FluBlok, Sanofi's influenza vaccine.

Novavax uses an insect virus called a baculovirus to get the coronavirus spike protein into moth cells, which then produce the protein. This is harvested and mixed with an adjuvant an immune booster based on saponin, found in soap bark trees.

Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline

This is also a protein subunit vaccine, using Sanofi's FluBlok technology with a GlaxoSmithKline adjuvant. It also uses a baculovirus to grow little bits of spike protein.

Sinovac and Sinopharm

Chinese company Sinovac's CoronaVac uses an inactivated virus -- one of the oldest methods for vaccinating people. Whole batches of coronavirus are grown, "killed" and then made into vaccine. Likewise, Sinopharm's vaccine in an inactivated virus.

Sputnik V

Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine is an adenoviral vector vaccine. It uses two common cold viruses called adenovirus 5 and adenovirus 26 to carry the genetic material for the spike protein into the body.

A district court upheld an Ohio law banning abortions of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome Tuesday, marking a victory for the pro-life movement at the state level.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Ohio's Down Syndrome Non-Discrimination Act in a 9-7 ruling, overturning a three-judge panel that ruled against the law. The court found the law did not create an "undue burden" on the right to an abortion because it limited doctors from performing abortions only when a mother discloses she's requesting the procedure because her child has been diagnosed with Down syndrome.

"[The law] furthers three valid and legitimate interests by protecting: (1) the Down syndrome community from the stigma associated with the practice of Down-syndrome-selective abortions, (2) pregnant women and their families from coercion by doctors who advocate abortion of Down-syndrome-afflicted fetuses, and (3) the integrity and ethics of the medical profession by preventing doctors from becoming witting participants in Down-syndrome-selective abortions," the court wrote in its opinion. "[The law] allows doctors to perform such abortions when they do not know that Down syndrome is the reason, without undermining [the law's] specific purposes or objectives."

The court's decision comes in the middle of a number of state laws seeking to restrict access to abortion. Arkansas's attorney general asked the Supreme Court to intervene to reverse the striking down of a similar Arkansas law banning Down-syndrome-selective abortions. Meanwhile, blue state attorneys general are taking action to prevent laws restricting access to abortion from going into effect. New York attorney general Letitia James (D.) led a group of 20 state attorneys general in challenging a Tennessee law requiring women to get two in-person appointments before obtaining an abortion.

Chuck Donovan, president of the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, said state laws restricting abortions for reasons of Down-syndrome diagnoses are pushing the conservative-leaning Supreme Court toward revisiting Roe v. Wade. He said the Court has signaled even if Roe is not overturned, justices are open to chipping away at current law.

"In certain countries, children with Down syndrome are being devastatingly eliminated from the population," Donovan said. "Justice Clarence Thomas has confirmed this is an issue of first impression and it remains an ‘open question' whether states may implement protections such as these. We are encouraged by this ruling and hope the Supreme Court will now weigh in on this important human rights issue."

The Sixth Circuit's decision marks a reversal from the Seventh Circuit appeals court's decision in 2018 to overturn an Indiana law that prohibited abortions based on the gender, race, or disability of a fetus. The overturning of the three judge panel's ruling also makes further review of Ohio's law more likely.

As the Biden administration expands federal support for access to abortion, Republican-controlled states are appealing to the judiciary. The likelihood of further review of the Ohio law, combined with Arkansas's direct appeal to the Supreme Court and blue state attorneys general challenging laws restricting abortion, forecasts a judicial showdown over abortion could be imminent.

Biden DOJ Pick Struggles to Defend Record on Black Panther Prosecutions

During confirmation hearing, Republicans pushed Kristen Clarke on her history of opposing civil rights cases against black defendants

Justice Department nominee Kristen Clarke struggled to explain her criticisms of a civil rights case lodged against members of the New Black Panther Party during her confirmation hearing Wednesday.

Clarke tried to duck questions about her opposition to prosecuting two Panthers for civil rights violations in the 2008 election while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Republican lawmakers say the Black Panther case is a troubling indicator of her approach to enforcing civil rights laws.

Clarke's history of opposing civil rights prosecutions of black defendants has made her nomination contentious. If confirmed, she will lead the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and serve as top prosecutor for a range of nondiscrimination statutes.

Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) asked Clarke directly if the Justice Department was wrong to pursue a case against the Panthers. Clarke dodged, saying the department has the prerogative to bring any cases it deems appropriate. Lee doubled down, asking if she wanted prosecutors to abandon the case.

"I may have espoused that opinion publicly, but so did many people," Clarke replied. "I think there were many people who deemed that a weak case."

Florida House passes contentious transgender sports ban

TALLAHASSEE — The GOP-controlled Florida House on Wednesday passed controversial legislation banning transgender athletes from playing girls’ sports, shifting attention to the state Senate where final approval is needed to send the bill to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The 77-40 mostly party-line vote, with all but one Democrat opposing, came one day after House Democrats held up a floor session for hours attempting to scale back the measure. GOP lawmakers say the bill is needed to protect the sanctity of women’s sports, but opponents contend it would only “legalize bullying” for transgender students.

“HB 1475 is purely political, and it plays on the fears and the ignorance about the transgender community in order to score partisan points,” state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith (D-Orlando), an openly gay lawmaker, told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s vote.

House and Senate Republicans in Florida have seized on women’s sports as a priority in 2021, following the path of more than 20 other GOP-leaning states that are using the issue to limit transgender rights. LGBTQ advocacy groups like Equality Florida are aligned with the majority of Democrats in opposing the legislation, arguing it would lead to increased stigma and misinformation surrounding transgender students.

The idea issue was magnified on Monday when the NCAA put states like Florida on notice, warning that locations that don’t treat all student athletes with “dignity and respect” could be ineligible to host future championship games.

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice reiterated Wednesday that he doesn’t plan to veto a bill banning transgender middle school, high school and college girls and women from playing on women’s sports teams, even though he conceded it could lead the NCAA to “penalize us.”

The NCAA said in a news release Monday that it might no longer hold college championships in states with such laws. The legislation (House Bill 3293) would implement the ban only at public schools, colleges and universities.

“Even at our college level, I support the bill there as well,” Justice said. “The only problem is just one thing, and that is this: The NCAA, you know, has moved to a more political, politically correct or liberal body. And they could very well penalize us.”

Chewy Whipsaws After BC Partners Is Said to Sell Shares

Chewy Inc. bounced in New York trading on Tuesday after a person familiar with the matter said BC Partners, its private-equity sponsor, sold about $500 million of the stock in an overnight block trade. The unregistered trade of 6.1 million shares was priced at $82.50 each through Morgan Stanley, the person said. That was a 1.8% discount to Monday’s close. Chewy fell by as much as 2.1% in premarket trading, but finished the regular session up 4%. Tuesday’s gains add to a post-earnings rally in the online retailer of pet products. Chewy has now gained 8.7% since forecasting 2021 sales on March 30. The undisclosed stock offering launched on Monday after the market closed, Bloomberg previously reported.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chewy-falls-bc-partners-said-121922022.html

BC Partners is a British international investment firm with over $40 billion of assets under management across private equity, credit and real estate in Europe and North America. Its global headquarters are in London. The firm invests across all industries. BC Partners was founded in 1986 and has offices in New York, Paris, Milano and Hamburg. Since inception, BC Partners has completed 113 private equity investments in companies with a total enterprise value of €145 billion. As one of the largest European private equity firms, BC Partners competes for buyouts and investment opportunities with other large cap private equity firms including Blackstone Group, KKR, CVC Capital Partners, Advent International and The Carlyle Group. The firm raised its eighth fund in 2005, which at the time made it the largest European buyout fund. Raised in less than five months, the fund was heavily oversubscribed. Investors in previous funds supplied 90% of the capital. The firm's most recent fund, BC Partners X, was one of the largest buyout funds raised in 2018. Despite its large size, the firm is known for its operational efficiency, boasting an incredibly high amount of assets under management per investment professional. BC Partners was until recently majority shareholder of Intelsat, the global satellite services provider valued at US$16.6 billion in its leveraged buyout in 2007—one of the largest private equity buyouts of all time led by a consortium of investors including BC Partners and Silver Lake Partners. In 2008, BC Partners replaced Intelsat's chairman with Raymond Svider, BC's New York-based co-chairman. Sometime between 2008 and 2018, BC Partners sold all of Intelsat to the company.

Second UK inquiry into ex-PM David Cameron lobbying scandal announced by select committee of MPs

The UK's Treasury Committee has announced it will hold an inquiry into the government lobbying scandal surrounding former Prime Minister David Cameron, which has now engulfed several ministers and is already facing a review.

The cross-party committee of MPs, which examines Treasury expenditure, administration and policy, said in a statement on Wednesday it has agreed “in principle” to an inquiry, which will be launched next week.

The group said their investigation will be into the “lessons” from the scandal, which involves collapsed financial lender Greensill Capital as well as former Tory PM Cameron.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday announced an independent review by legal expert Nigel Boardman into Greensill and the use of supply chain finance in government, although he did not explicitly mention lobbying.

Earlier on Wednesday, Johnson's Conservative government voted down a plan by the opposition Labour party to hold a wider parliamentary inquiry into the lobbying.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he wanted a “full” investigation into the scandal, which he said had exposed the “sleaze and cronyism” at the “heart” of the Conservative Party.

Cameron, who became an adviser for Greensill after he left Downing Street, allegedly lobbied ministers on its behalf in a bid to win government contracts for the firm.

His actions included sending text messages to Chancellor Rishi Sunak and taking Lex Greensill, the company's founder, for a private drink with Health Secretary Matt Hancock.

Great news for the Republican Party! Senator Lisa Murkowski said she is “still weighing whether she will run again” for the Senate in Alaska. In other words, there is a chance that she won’t run! Wouldn’t that be great? And so many people are looking to run against Crazy Liz Cheney—but we only want one. She is so far down in Wyoming polls that the only way she can win is numerous candidates running against her and splitting the vote. Hopefully, that won’t happen. I’ll make an Endorsement soon!

- Moderna, Pfizer - mRNA “vaxxes”

All 4 create a spike protein and the antibody against it.

That spike protein can harm you in four ways because it can disrupt the blood-brain barrier:

Can disrupt FUS gene:

if the FUS gene is disrupted, can lead to

1. ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) OR

2. cancer

Can cause a mutation in a protein (TDP-43):

if the protein is disrupted, can lead to a cluster of degenerative neurological diseases involving the frontal-temperal lobe part of the brain.

3. early dementia (age 45 - 50)

4. five different forms of neurological disease

(leads to loss of speech, ability to form words; one leads to loss of facial recognition)

Essentially if Maricopa county auditors prove that Maricopa county was won by fraud, Trump should technically be allowed to file a lawsuit with the intent to annul the Maricopa county election results. If he manages to annul Maricopa county’s results, then he will technically have won all of the electoral votes for Arizona.

If this occurs in just a couple more states, then it is possible that he will have officially won enough electoral votes to be the winner of the office of the presidency.

Since congress has already constitutionally confirmed Biden as president, there is a potential of entering into a constitutional crisis of which the Supreme Court would be required to examine evidence and preside over.

What the Supreme Court ultimately decides to do in such a scenario is anybody’s guess, but dont be surprised if the word “MOOT” is their reply if/when this issue eventually arrives at their desk.

Moscow Calls for Avoiding Military Escalation in Afghanistan Amid US Decision to Reschedule Exit

On Wednesday, Biden declared that the US would begin withdrawing its 2,500 troops from Afghanistan on May 1, with the aim of being completely out by September 11. NATO forces will also depart Afghanistan on May 1. This has sparked fears among analysts that the country's civil war will continue once the last foreign soldier has left.

The Russian Foreign Ministry calls for avoiding a new wave of military escalation in Afghanistan amid the US decision to reschedule the withdrawal of troops for September 11, Russian presidential envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov told Sputnik.

"We would not like to see the further military developments in Afghanistan," Kabulov said, commenting on the US decision.

On Wednesday, the Taliban said that from the movement's point of view, the withdrawal must be completed within the timeframe set in the agreement.

"The US colleagues should now settle this issue with the Taliban movement, with whom Washington signed the agreement. The agreements must be fulfilled," Kabulov added.

The September 11 deadline is quite remarkable since it is the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, after which the administration of George W. Bush launched an operation in Afghanistan against the terrorists of the al-Qaeda group*.

According to Biden, the United States will not leave Afghanistan in a hurry, but responsibly and in coordination with its allies. Meanwhile, according to an agreement concluded with the Taliban by the previous Trump administration in early 2020, US troops are obliged to leave the country before May 1.

‘Unofficial’ US delegation welcomed

The government yesterday welcomed an “unofficial” delegation sent by US President Joe Biden, while another delegation led by US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry was headed to Shanghai.

Biden’s first delegation to Taiwan is made up of former US senator Chris Dodd, and former US deputy secretaries of state Richard Armitage and James Steinberg. They are to stay in Taiwan until tomorrow.

Their arrival, on a chartered flight, had been kept confidential until media reported the visit yesterday morning, after which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a short notice that they were expected to arrive at 2:40pm.

The flight landed at about 3:05pm at Taipei International Airport (Songshan airport), where the delegation was received by Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu (吳釗燮), American Institute in Taiwan Director Brent Christensen and other officials. “We hope you enjoy your visit & look forward to working together to strengthen the #Taiwan #US partnership,” President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) wrote on Twitter.

Tsai is due to meet with the US officials at the Presidential Office in Taipei at 10am today and host a dinner with them at her official residence in the evening, Presidential Office spokesman Xavier Chang (張惇涵) said in a statement.

Dodd is known for his friendship with Biden and he was a crucial advocate of the US’ Taiwan Relations Act, which took effect in 1979, Chang said. Armitage and Steinberg served as deputy secretaries of state during the administrations of former US presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama respectively, he said, adding that they have visited Taiwan several times and have been friendly toward the nation. Over the past weeks, the ministry had been exchanging opinions with its Washington counterpart about the visit, ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou (歐江安) said, without saying when the plan was finalized.

Biden sending a heavyweight delegation to Taiwan less than three months since his inauguration — at a time when many important positions in his administration are not yet filled — shows Washington’s consistent support for Taiwan and “rock solid” bilateral ties, the ministry said in a news release.

The delegation is to meet with Tsai, Wu and Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) to discuss many critical issues related to bilateral ties, it said.

Meanwhile, Kerry was to arrive in Shanghai yesterday evening and is to stay until tomorrow. His visit marks the first to China by an official in the Biden administration.

Kerry is to travel to Seoul on Saturday, ahead of a US-hosted two-day virtual climate summit starting on Earth Day on Thursday next week. Asked about the planned agenda for the meeting between Chinese Special Envoy on Climate Change Xie Zhenhua (解振華) and Kerry, and whether Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) would accept Biden’s invitation to the summit, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian (趙立堅) on Tuesday said that no information could be offered at that time.

NCAA Threatens to Pull Events From States With “Anti-Transgender” Laws

“The board’s statement was cheered by advocates for LGBTQ inclusion in college athletics”

Leaders of the National Collegiate Athletic Association are throwing their economic weight and influence behind transgender athletes ability to participate in college sports by threatening to pull lucrative championship events from states with discriminatory laws.

The NCAA Board of Governors released a statement Monday reiterating that it will select championship sites that are “safe, healthy and free of discrimination,” following the passage of four laws, and dozens more bills under consideration, that bar transgender women from competing against cisgender women in K-12 and intercollegiate sports. The board’s statement echoed a position and policy created nearly five years ago, when the association moved championship events from North Carolina after state lawmakers approved legislation that barred transgender people from using public bathrooms associated with the gender with which they identity.

“The NCAA Board of Governors firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports,” the statement said. “Our clear expectation as the association’s top governing body is that all student-athletes will be treated with dignity and respect. We are committed to ensuring that NCAA championships are open for all who earn the right to compete in them.”

The board warned that it “will continue to closely monitor these situations to determine whether NCAA championships can be conducted in ways that are welcoming and respectful of all participants.”

The board’s statement was cheered by advocates for LGBTQ inclusion in college athletics, who last month urged the association to take a definitive stance against policies in several states that attempt to restrict transgender people’s participation in sports.

Judge in Texas lawsuit against Google issues protective order

https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/judge-in-texas-lawsuit-against-google-issues-protective-order

WASHINGTON - The judge hearing the Texas antitrust lawsuit against Alphabet Inc's Google put limits on what the search giant's in-house lawyers can see in an order aimed at ensuring that confidential information used in an upcoming trial remains secure.

The issue is a key one for companies that have not been identified but that gave information to the Texas attorney general's office for its investigation and fear that their confidential data, like strategic business plans or discussions about negotiations, could be disclosed to Google executives.

The order issued by Judge Sean Jordan of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas allows Google's in-house counsel to see information deemed "confidential" but they are then limited in advising on some competitive and other decision-making for two years regarding the companies whose data they see.

The Jesuit Sinking of the Titanic to Create the Federal Reserve Corp.

The Federal Reserve is no more ‘federal’ than Federal Express. It is a privately owned corporation established in 1913 to make money by printing money, at interest, for the U.S. Government and is under control of the Rothschild’s Bank of International Settlements (BIIS), located in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2012 it made $77 Billion in profits alone

Switzerland is home to the Rothschilds, the military that guards the Vatican, the secret bank accounts of the wealthy and a country who was never attacked or invaded during WWI or WWII. It’s flag is the same Red Cross, the same Knights of Templar cross Christopher Columbus flew on his journey to have never set foot in America, yet somehow historians report that he “discovered America”). Certain conspiracy theorists believe that there was a force behind the sinking of the Titanic. A Catholic order known as the Jesuits compelled to carry out Jesus’ work. In this instance, theorists believe that the establishment of the U.S. Federal Reserve was ushered into being. Those in belief of the theory speak of a group of Illuminati, enlightened individuals with a plan for a New World Order, in which it will be necessary to establish the Federal Reserve.

Many are unclear on what exactly the Federal Reserve is. Operated outside of the constraints of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve has these responsibilities.

1. Conducting the nation’s monetary policy by influencing monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.

2. Supervising and regulating banking institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation’s banking and financial system, and protect the credit rights of consumers.

3. Maintaining stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets.

4. Providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions, including playing a major role in operating the nation’s payments system.

Theorists believe that this Jesuit establishment was created so that the order could loan money, shape the world landscape, and become one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Here’s how the Federal Reserve and the Titanic are connected. In 1910, seven men met on Jekyll island just off the coast of Georgia to plan the Federal Reserve Bank. Nelson Aldrich and Frank Vanderclip represented the Rockefeller (Illuminati) financial empire. Henry Davidson, Charles Norton and Benjamin Strong represented J.P. Morgan (Illuminati). Paul Warburg (Illuminati) represented the Rothschilds (Illuminati) Banking dynasty of Europe.

Johnson & Johnson Statement on CDC Advisory Committee Meeting on Company COVID-19 Vaccine

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., April 14, 2021– The U.S. Centers f or Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) convened today to consider reports of an extremely rare disorder involving blood clots in combination with low platelets observed in a small number of individuals following vaccination with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

“The safety and well-being of the people who use our products is our number one priority, and we strongly support awareness of the signs and symptoms of this extremely rare evento ensure the correct diagnosis, appropriate treatment and expedited reporting by health care professionals,” said Paul Stoffels, M.D., Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee and Chief Scientific Officer at Johnson & Johnson. “We continue to believe in the positive benefit-risk profile of our vaccine. We value the consideration of the Advisory Committee, and we will continue to collaborate with medical experts and global health authorities, including the CDC, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency and the World Health Organization, as we work toward continuing vaccinations to end the global pandemic.”

Out of an abundance of caution, the CDC and FDA have recommended [https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/joint-cdc-and-fda-statement-johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine] a pause in the use of our vaccine. The Company has made the decision to proactively delay the rollout of our vaccine in Europe and pause vaccinations in all Janssen COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials while we update guidance for investigators and participants.

The CDC and FDA have made information available about proper recognition and management due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot. The health authorities advise that people who have received our COVID-19 vaccine and develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination should contact their health care provider.

Joint CDC and FDA Statement on Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine

FDA Statement

The following statement is attributed to Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and Dr. Anne Schuchat, Principal Deputy Director of the CDC

For Immediate Release:

April 13, 2021

Statement From:

Statement Author

Leadership Role

Director - Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)

Peter Marks M.D., PhD.

As of April 12, more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine have been administered in the U.S. CDC and FDA are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the J&J vaccine. In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia). All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination. Treatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered. Usually, an anticoagulant drug called heparin is used to treat blood clots. In this setting, administration of heparin may be dangerous, and alternative treatments need to be given.

CDC will convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on Wednesday to further review these cases and assess their potential significance. FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases. Until that process is complete, we are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution. This is important, in part, to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan for proper recognition and management due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot.

Right now, these adverse events appear to be extremely rare. COVID-19 vaccine safety is a top priority for the federal government, and we take all reports of health problems following COVID-19 vaccination very seriously. People who have received the J&J vaccine who develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination should contact their health care provider. Health care providers are asked to report adverse events to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System at https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html.

CDC and FDA will provide additional information and answer questions later today at a media briefing. A recording of that media call is available on the FDA’s YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ELXnGYgsJY]

Janssen Investigational COVID-19 Vaccine: Interim Analysis of Phase 3 Clinical Data Released

An investigational COVID-19 vaccine developed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals appears to be safe and effective at preventing moderate and severe COVID-19 in adults, according to an interim analysis of Phase 3 clinical data conducted Jan. 21. The vaccine, called Ad.26.COV2.S or JNJ-78436725, requires only a single injection and can be stored in a refrigerator for months.

The interim analysis assessed 468 cases of symptomatic COVID-19 among 44,325 adult volunteers in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, and the United States. The investigational vaccine was reportedly 66% effective at preventing the study’s combined endpoints of moderate and severe COVID-19 at 28 days post-vaccination among all volunteers, including those infected with an emerging viral variant. Moderate COVID-19 was defined as laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 plus either one of the following: evidence of pneumonia; deep vein thrombosis; difficulty breathing; abnormal oxygen saturation or a respiratory rate equal to or greater than 20; or two or more signs or symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, such as cough, sore throat, fever or chills. Severe COVID-19 was defined as laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 plus evidence of clinical signs at rest indicative of severe systemic illness, respiratory failure, shock, significant organ dysfunction, hospital intensive care unit admission or death.

The Janssen vaccine is a recombinant vector vaccine that uses a human adenovirus to express the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19. Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that cause infections in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts; the adenovirus vector used in the experimental vaccine has been modified, so that it can no longer replicate in humans and cause illness. In developing the vaccine, Janssen employed the same vector used in the first dose of its prime-boost vaccine regimen against Ebola virus disease (Ad26 ZEBOV and MVN-BN-Filo), developed under a long-standing partnership with BARDA and granted marketing authorization by the European Commission in July 2020. Unlike the two COVID-19 vaccines currently authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use (Pfizer and Moderna vaccines), the Janssen investigational vaccine requires only a single vaccination.

Appeals court rejects academic’s libel suit over claims of affair with Flynn

Police investigating homicide in Roy; suspect identified

A federal appeals court handed another legal defeat Thursday to a Russian-born academic who claims she was libeled by press accounts that she says insinuated she had an affair with former National Security Adviser and Defense Intelligence Agency chief Michael Flynn.

The academic, Svetlana Lokhova, sued several news organizations in 2019 over the reports and also named as a defendant Stefan Halper, a United Kingdom-based former professor who was a central figure in the FBI investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

A ruling issued by the Richmond, Va.-based 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday upheld an earlier district court decision throwing Lokhova’s suit out in its entirety.

The appeals court said most of the articles Lokhova claimed were libelous were too old to be included in the suit she filed two years ago. Under Virginia’s one-year statute of limitations for defamation claims, the only publications that were fairly subject to the suit were a Washington Post story and some tweets sent by MSNBC national security contributor Malcolm Nance.

The Post reported that at a 2014 dinner, Halper and a colleague “were disconcerted by the attention the then-DIA chief showed to a Russian-born graduate student…according to people familiar with the episode.”

Writing for the appeals court, Judge Stephanie Thacker said that language could not fairly be read as an attack on Lokhova.

“We conclude that it cannot be reasonably read to defame [Lokhova,] either directly or through implication or innuendo,” wrote Thacker, an appointee of President Barack Obama. “Even if we infer the unnamed graduate student is [Lokhova,] it says nothing of her behavior toward General Flynn – it only addresses his behavior toward her.”

Flynn and Lokhova have denied any affair.

Lokhova asserted that Halper was a source for the news stories. A former Republican political operative in the U.S., in recent decades Halper has been a University of Cambridge professor active in foreign policy circles. Halper hasn’t spoken publicly about his role in the Trump-Russia investigation, but numerous press reports say the FBI dispatched him to covertly contact Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and assess reports that he had information about Russian-backed hacking of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails.

In the new ruling, the appeals court also ruled that Lokhova’s claims against MSNBC over Nance’s tweets fell short because there was no indication Nance was acting for the network when he sent the messages Lokhova sued over.

Judge James Wynn, another Obama appointee, joined Thacker’s ruling in full. Judge A. Marvin Quattlebaum Jr. dissented on one point: he said one of Lokhova’s claims based on a hyperlink in a New York Times article should have been considered on the merits.

The district court and the majority on the appeals panel said simply adding a link wasn’t enough to constitute republishing a story and giving Lokhova another chance to sue over it. But Quattlebaum, an appointee of President Donald Trump, said the link to the earlier story did amount to a republication.

In his dissent, Quattlebaum even used the term “clickbait” to refer to the Times’ relatively common practice.

”Here, Lokhova has plausibly alleged that rather than using the hyperlink as a citation, The New York Times used it as a means of redistributing previous material with the goal of expanding its readership,” the judge wrote. Denying plaintiffs the ability to sue over hyperlinks, Quattlebaum wrote, “would effectively permit publishers to hyperlink their way to consequence-free promotion.”

Halper’s lawyers asked the appeals court to impose sanctions on Lokhova’s lawyer Steven Biss, a Charlottesville-based attorney who has drawn notoriety for filing a series of libel suits on behalf of Rep. Devin Nunes, (R-Calif.) now the ranking minority member of the House Intelligence Committee.

Halper’s lawyers said Biss’ handling of the Lokhova case violated bar rules. Thacker was sharply critical of Biss, saying: “His history of unprofessional conduct is long.” She declined to order sanctions though, saying the issue remained up to the district court.

Chicago bodycam footage that captured the fatal police shooting of Adam Toledo, 13, will be released on Thursday, according to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.

The materials related to Toledo's March 29 shooting death will include footage from body-worn cameras, third-party video and other recordings, COPA said Wednesday in a news release.

Toledo died of a gunshot wound to his chest, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Officers responded to an area on Chicago's West Side after learning that gunshots were detected by police-operated technology. Toledo and a 21-year-old man fled on foot when confronted by police and an officer shot the teen once, authorities said. The department described it as an armed confrontation.

A handgun the teen was carrying was recovered at the scene, police said. Prosecutors allege that Toledo had gun residue on his hand.

The police accountability board initially said it was legally prohibited from releasing video of the shooting because the teen was a minor, but that changed after Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Police Superintendent David Brown called for the video's release.

Lightfoot on Wednesday said she had viewed the police body camera videos. She declined to comment on the videos or describe them.

"I want to be respectful of family, but I do also think a police-involved shooting, particularly under these circumstances, it’s important for us to be transparent," the mayor said, according to FOX 32 of Chicago.

On Tuesday, COPA said in a statement that it provided the Toledo family an opportunity to view the video from the March 29 shooting and "at the request of the family" will "not immediately release video and other materials as the family continues to grieve their loss."

COPA said in a statement Wednesday that the video and other materials would be released Thursday.

"COPA has remained sensitive to the family's grief and is carrying out this release in accordance with the City's Video Release Policy," COPA said in a statement.

The footage has been widely anticipated in the city after other videos of violent police encounters around the country sparked civil unrest. The family praised the community for non-violent protests a day after they viewed video of the fatal police shooting.

"We appreciate the community support and are grateful that events so far have remained peaceful," the family said in a statement issued Wednesday by their attorneys.

Police said the other person who fled from police officers, Ruben Roman Jr. was arrested on a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.

Saudi Arabia says Iran's announced decision to raise the level of uranium enrichment to 60% “cannot be considered a program intended for peaceful uses.”

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it is following with concern the current developments of Iran’s nuclear program, the most recent of which was the Iranian announcement of raising the level of uranium enrichment to 60 percent, which cannot be considered a program intended for peaceful uses, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Wednesday.

For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.

Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies, who are also worried about Iran’s ballistic missiles and regional network of proxies, had supported former US President Donald Trump’s move to quit the accord in 2018 and re-impose harsh sanctions on Iran.

Ambassador Rayed Krimly, head of policy planning at Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, says. told Reuters that any agreement that does not effectively address the concerns of states in the region would not work.

“Saudi Arabia is not interested in hindering or blocking the current negotiations ... it is interested in ensuring their success in achieving effectively the desired results,” Krimly said, adding that consultations are going on with global powers.

“We want to make sure at a minimum that any financial resources made available to Iran via the nuclear deal are not used ... to destabilize the region,” he said.

“We are going to do everything we can (so) that a nuclear deal is a starting point not an end point in this process,” he added.

“Iran will not achieve security or prosperity by nuclear blackmail,” Krimly said.

“We can begin by a nuclear deal and move on to another format that will discuss all these issues in a positive manner,” Krimly said, adding there was consensus among Arab countries and global powers on the need for expanded and inclusive talks.

“Maybe such a process can begin by confidence-building measures, by reducing tensions, by reducing the arms race in the region and then build on these steps towards a better future for all of us,” he added.

UK Government release most frightening report yet on Adverse Reactions to Covid Vaccines

The U.K. Governments report (which you can find here)

has collated data inputted up to the 28th March via the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme. At this point an estimated 10.9 million first doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and 19.5 million first doses of the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccine, had been administered. There were also around 3.7 million second doses, mostly of which were the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine.

Our earliest analysis of the data which we brought you back at the beginning of February showed that there had been 49,472 adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine, and 21,032 adverse reactions to the Oxford vaccine up to the 24th January 2021, with a rate of 1 in every 333 people receiving the jab suffering a serious adverse reaction.

Well we can confirm that in the space of nine weeks the number of reported adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine has increased to 124,371 as of the 28th March. The Oxford jab has fared much worse though with an astounding increase of 419,839 reported adverse reactions as of the 29th March, now standing at a total of 440,871. This now means the current rate of people suffering a serious adverse reaction after having one of the experimental Covid vaccines stands at 1 in every 166 people, however it is thought around only 1% of adverse reactions are actually reported to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme with many people not knowing of its existence.

The line from the MHRA and UK Government is that ‘it may be difficult to tell the difference between something that has occurred naturally and a suspected adverse reaction. Sometimes these events can be part of the condition being treated rather than being caused by the vaccine’. Repeatedly suggesting that the current rate of adverse reactions is in line with what we would expect to see in the “non-vaccinated” population.

Well we disagree that it’s difficult, and we also disagree that it is in line with the natural rate. If the rate of adverse reactions was in line with the natural rate expected to occur in the “non-vaccinated” population then what we should be seeing is a similar amount of occurrence for each vaccine in relation to how many vaccines have been adminsitered.

So if we use the MHRA’s own estimated numbers we can see that as of the 28th March 2021 approximately 20 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine had been administered. Whereas approximately 14 million first doses of the Pfizer vaccine had been administered. This accounts for a 43% difference between the two jabs. Therefore the number of specific reactions, and the overall number of reactions should reflect the same difference and be around 43%.

But the number of reported adverse reactions to the AstraZeneca vaccine is 254.4% higher than the number of adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine, with AstraZeneca standing at 440,871 and Pfizer standing at 124,371. This doesn’t suggest a rate in line with the “statistical norm.” to us.

So we took a look at the specific reactions to see if there were any serious cause for concerns, and this is what we found…

(We used the data shown in the UK Governments Analysis Print of the Pfizer vaccine {which you can find here} + Analysis Print of the Oxford Vaccine {which you can find here}.)

The total number of blood disorders reported as adverse reactions to both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccine now stands at 6728 as of the 28th March 2021. This includes ailments such as thrombocytopenia which is where your body has a low level of platelets in the blood, this is also the condition that has been occurring alongside blood clots which the Government have finally admitted is due to the AstraZeneca vaccine, but have of course played it down. Severe forms of this ailment can lead to bleeding spontaneously from the eyes, gums, or bladder and can result in death. Which is exactly what has happened in the case of the Pfizer vaccine, with 29 cases of thrombocytopenia being reported which have resulted in 1 death thus far

This could be big:

https://justthenews.com/government/security/obama-bundler-files-extraordinary-complaint-against-cia-alleging-widespread

Imaad Zuberi, a major Democratic fundraiser facing 12 years in prison, has filed an extraordinary complaint with the CIA's chief watchdog alleging he witnessed "flagrant problems, abuses, violations of law" while working as an asset for U.S. intelligence, according to documents and interviews.

Zuberi, of Los Angeles, recently hired the CIA's retired acting general counsel Robert J. Eatinger Jr. to review his case and help to appeal his conviction on a plea deal with federal prosecutors.

After reviewing evidence, including secret communications between Zuberi and his alleged CIA handlers that were enumerated in a secret Classified Information Protection Act filing in his criminal case, Eatinger prepared and delivered two complaints to the CIA inspector general earlier this month.

Shortly afterwards, the former CIA lawyer faxed letters to key members of the House and Senate intelligence committees alerting them to the allegations and offering to share a confidential summary if the IG did not formally open a probe.

New Director of National Intelligence Avril Haynes and CIA Director William Burns also were alerted to the complaints, according to the congressional letters reviewed by Just the News.

Eatinger, a highly respected intelligence community lawyer who retired from the CIA about a decade ago, used unmistakable language drawn from intelligence laws to describe to Congress the nature of Zuberi's allegations.

He wrote that he had "submitted two reports to the Acting Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that contained complaints or information regarding serious or flagrant problems, abuses, violations of law or executive order, or deficiencies relating to the funding administration or operations of an intelligence activity."

He added that if the CIA did not confirm it "will forward the reports to the intelligence committees within 14 days, we will do so directly."

Zuberi's legal team spokesman, Chad Kolton, declined comment. A spokesman for the CIA did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment Wednesday night.

Eatinger's letter to Congress did not formally identify Zuberi, but rather stated he was taking the action on "behalf of a U.S. citizen client." But multiple sources confirmed to Just the News that the information in the IG complaints involved Zuberi and that his name appeared in the memos.

For two decades, Zuberi was a larger-than-life figure on the political stage, hobnobbing with Republicans and Democrats alike from California to Washington as he raised millions for campaigns and globe-trotted with a successful international business. He rubbed elbows with Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, all the while keeping his relationship with the CIA mum.

Trouble In Antifaland: Informant Snitches To Portland Police, Results In Arsonist Arrest, Chaos In Antifa Ranks

Antifa terrorists in Portland are panicking as one of their own has supposedly turned against them, ratting out criminal behavior to the police.

After Tuesday night’s torching of the police union headquarters building, one of the rioters, Alma Raven-Guido, has been arrested and charged with Arson, Riot, and Criminal Mischief. If you can believe it, pro-antifa district attorney, Mike Schmidt, is actually holding her to the charges. Turns out one of their own ratted her out to police. And this isn’t the first time this person has snitched!

Antifa sympathizer Tess Riski, of Willamette Week, reports:

Eyewitness testimony from a Portland police informant with a history of providing “credible and reliable information on multiple prior investigations” is one of the Multnomah County prosecutors’ strongest pieces of evidence in charging a 19-year-old woman with arson for allegedly setting fire to the Portland Police Association headquarters.

On Wednesday, the district attorney’s office filed charges of arson, criminal mischief and felony riot against Alma Raven-Guido. The charges follow an April 13 protest against racist policing where some of the protesters marched to the union hall on North Lombard Street and set fire to a portion of it.

The most substantial information in the probable cause affidavit filed Wednesday by the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office comes from the alleged firsthand account of an unnamed informant.

“The informant observed the defendant pour a flammable liquid on the building from three plastic bottles which the informant described as having labels which were either blacked out or taped over with black tape,” the affidavit says. “The informant further explained that when the defendant was pouring the liquid on the fire and causing the fire to grow, one of the bottles caught on fire and started to melt.”

The informant allegedly witnessed Raven-Guido place all three bottles into her backpack, court records say.

The informant reportedly provided a description of Raven-Guido and her alleged “actions associated with the fire,” court filings say. Officer Le then arrested her with the assistance of Officer Ryan Potter, according to the affidavit. They then searched Raven-Guido’s backpack, where they reportedly found lighters and plastic bottles containing “what appeared to be an accelerant.” Prosecutors allege that one of the bottles they recovered was partially melted.

Needless to say, the terrorists in Portland are not happy about this revelation:

Russia pledges retaliation, summons US envoy over new sanctions, as NATO & EU back Biden’s move to target country’s national debt

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Thursday that it would soon respond in kind to a new package of sanctions unveiled against the country by US President Joe Biden, with Washington also expelling ten of Moscow’s diplomats.

Maria Zakharova, the ministry’s spokeswoman, told reporters that retaliation against the move was “unavoidable,” and that the American ambassador, John Sullivan, had been summoned for “tough talks.” She said, “I would hardly have said this before, but I can say it now: It’s not going to be a pleasant meeting for him.”

Biden signed the decree on Thursday morning, ushering in sanctions against more than 30 Russian individuals and organizations over claims that Moscow meddled in the 2020 US presidential election and was behind the colossal SolarWinds cyber-espionage case that saw hackers gain access to more than 100 corporate networks, as well as nine American government agencies. The Kremlin has denied accusations it was involved in either case.

The new measures include a ban on American financial institutions directly purchasing Russian sovereign debt, which is traditionally used by governments as a way to shore up their economies.

Just weeks ago, the country’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin warned that the US may resort to attacking bonds as part of “a deliberate calculation to create a toxic atmosphere around Russian securities in order to reduce their investment potential.” He revealed that Moscow has already been working to create a battle plan to limit the effect such sanctions would have on the economy.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan defended the move later on Thursday, saying that the package of sanctions comprised “proportionate measures to defend American interests in response to harmful Russia actions including cyber intrusions and election interference.” Ned Price, the State Department spokesman, also tweeted that “we are sending a clear message to Moscow” with the new measures.

However, Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, replied saying that “now it is our turn to ‘hold the US to account’ for promoting unsubstantiated allegations and unfriendly moves. That’s how it works in diplomacy.”

Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of Russia’s State Duma, claimed the measures demonstrated that the “whole arsenal of accusations has been exhausted, and the US is going in a circle.” He added that “by imposing sanctions, they punish themselves. In the end, they will have to build relationships that they themselves have destroyed.”

Nadler Unveils Democrats’ Plan to Pack Supreme Court, Claims: “We’re Not Packing it, We’re Unpacking It”

House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler unveiled the Democrats’ plan to pack the Supreme Court on Thursday.

The majority of Americans do not support court packing, but stolen elections have consequences.

Nadler said the number of justices is up to Congress and Congress has changed that number 7 times in the history of the country.

Chairman Nadler said the Democrats are seeking to expand the Supreme Court by four seats to match the number of circuit courts.

“13 justices for 13 circuits is a logical progression,” Nadler said.

Nadler then threw out this Orwellian line: “We’re not packing it, we’re unpacking it.”

Jerry Nadler actually accused McConnell of “packing the court” by filling vacancies – everyone knows that “packing the court” means expanding the number of seats, but we shouldn’t expect the truth from Democrats because they are liars by nature.

France’s controversial ‘global security’ bill that sparked widespread protests adopted by parliament

The French parliament has passed a controversial bill on “global security” and its heavily criticized provision on penalizing the malicious dissemination of images of the police, after deputies voted in its favor.

On Thursday, the National Assembly gave the government’s global security bill the green light, passing the motion with 75 votes for and 33 against, despite sustained opposition from civil society groups who claim the bill will limit public freedoms.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the law would protect officers from online calls for violence and has widely been supported by law enforcement unions.

The left has already announced their intention to take the matter to the Constitutional Council in the hope that the bill will not be implemented. Venting his opposition, Alexis Corbière of the party, La France Insoumise, said this is “a text of global insecurity because it casts suspicion on the police” and prevents “citizen criticism.”

The bill includes the particularly controversial Article 24, which provoked major demonstrations in the autumn and new year despite the pandemic. Article 24 has been rewritten since its first reading, but still penalizes the sharing of images that maliciously identifies police officers in operations by face or name.

Images shared with the intention of identifying the spouse, partner, or child of a law enforcement officer will also be punished, with sentences of up to five years in prison and a €75,000 fine.

The bill is not limited to Article 24. The text aims to establish a “security continuum” for state security forces, municipal police forces and the private security sector. The bill also contains provisions for the extended use of police body cameras and drones.

Investigation – UK Government model states the fully Vaccinated will dominate Deaths in 3rd wave and they will blame Children and Unvaccinated for it

A document produced for the UK Government entitled ‘Summary of further modelling of easing of restrictions – Roadmap Step 2’ advising them on the consequences of reopening the country has declared that a third wave is inevitable and that it will be the fault of children and those who refuse the experimental Covid-19 vaccines.

It will also disappoint millions of naive members of the British Public who believe life will return to normal as of the 21st June 2021, that the document, prepared by the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling, confirms long term mitigations and guidance will remain in place beyond that date.

The document which will undoubtedly be followed to the letter by the UK Government due to their constant admission that they are being “guided by the science”, uses two models to predict the outcome of the easing of restrictions alongside the vaccination programme throughout the year.

Biden Admin Arrests Journalist Who Recorded Ashli Babbitt Murder As DOJ Hides Identity Of Shooter

Federal agents smashed down Samuel Montoya's front door and charged him with four counts

As the Department of Justice continues to hide the identity of the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt, the Biden administration has arrested a journalist who recorded her murder.

Ashli Babbitt, the unarmed election integrity protestor and USAF veteran, was gunned down by a Capitol Police officer on January 6th, during the protests at the US Capitol in Washington DC. On Wednesday, the Department of Justice announced that they would not pursue charges against the officer responsible, claiming that there was “insufficient evidence” to determine whether her civil rights had been violated.

Video footage of Babbitt’s killing was seen around the world, documenting the tragic incident, and one journalist who filmed the “clearest” footage was Samuel Montoya, a video journalist from Texas. Montoya, however, was arrested by federal agents on Wednesday morning, and charged with four counts, including “interfering with government business,” and “disorderly and disruptive conduct in a Capitol Building.”

According to the FBI arrest warrant affidavit, Montoya had repeatedly “described himself to others inside the Capitol Building as a ‘reporter’ or ‘journalist’ as he attempts to get through crowds,” but because “no one by that name has Congressional press credentials as an individual or via any other organizations,” he couldn’t apparently count as a journalist, despite documenting much of the day’s events, including Babbitt’s killing, for Infowars, a major media outlet.

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson discussed Montoya’s arrest on his show Wednesday night, noting that his footage proves that Babbitt did not pose a threat to any officers at the time of her death. “We’re grateful we have that tape. If we didn’t, the New York Times would be telling us that Ashli was beating people to death with a fire extinguisher when she was killed,” Carlson said.

Carlson blasted the decision to base whether somebody is a journalist or not based purely on what the US Congress’s credentialing office says. “Did Samuel Montoya have strong personal political views? Apparently he did, but you may have noticed that’s not so unusual in journalism right now,” Carlson argued. “If this happened in Ukraine, what are the chances that NBC News would describe Samuel Montoya as a ‘dissident journalist’, and then describe Ashli Babbitt as an ‘unarmed, pro-democracy demonstrator’? The chances are roughly 100%, and this is America, and they’re not saying that.”

Top Lawyer Files FOIA Request To Name Babbitt’s Killer As DoJ Hides Identity, Arrests Reporter Who Recorded Shooting

A FOIA request has been filed to obtain the name of the Capitol Hill police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on January 6.

Successful trial attorney Norm Pattis, described by the media as being “brilliant and audacious” and a “legal top gun”, has filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the name of the Capitol Hill police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the civil unrest that transpired in Washington, D.C. on January 6. National File has obtained a copy of the FOIA request.

The Biden administration’s Department of Justice is refusing to name or charge the police officer responsible for Babbitt’s death, despite admitting that the officer had no reasonable cause to discharge his firearm against her. The Babbitt family attorney has pledged to continue fighting on behalf of his clients, and suggested civil litigation against the federal government and the unnamed police officer may be impending.

To further complicate matters, yesterday the Department of Justice took the unprecedented move of arresting the video journalist who captured clear video of the fatal shooting. Many conservatives decried the seemingly political persecution, including Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, who compared the action to authoritarian silencing of dissident journalists that is commonplace in the third world.

“Questions still remain in the public’s mind over whether the officer’s use of force was justified. The United States Department of Justice obviously shared those concerns because it opened its own investigation into whether the officer should be charged with a federal crime,” wrote Pattis in the FOIA request. “That investigation concluded that the officer should not be charged, and the Department publicly announced its conclusion.”

“The public now desperately wants to know why the Department of Justice did not charge the officer. It also wants to know who that officer is,” Pattis explained. “The Department of Justice’s press release offers little information about how it reached its conclusion and the evidence supporting or disproving its conclusion. It offered no clue as to who the officer is.”

“The public’s interest in Ms. Babbitt’s unfortunate death at the hands of a Capitol police officer is more intensified than usual in light of the circumstances ongoing in the United States during 2020 and 2021. The public’s confidence in police officers, prosecutors, and other law enforcement officials is at an all-time low due to the numerous law-enforcement involved deaths that occurred in 2020 and 2021,” Pattis continued, explaining why the officer’s name should be released to his client, Alex Jones’ Infowars.

Meanwhile, journalist Tayler Hansen claims to have identified the officer responsible for the shooting as Lieutenant Mike Byrd, who once left his service pistol unattended in a bathroom and claimed that he “will be treated differently” because of his senior rank. Hansen says that Byrd is apparently in hiding, and is no longer employed or living at his address.

Texas Senate Defies NCAA, Gives Transgender Athlete Ban Initial Approval

The Texas Senate approved legislation limiting transgender athletes to competing only in categories that correspond to their birth gender in contravention to the NCAA’s recent decision to allow transgender people to play in their choice of categories.

The Texas bill focuses on “biological sex.” It maintains that athletes born as males will be banned from competing in girls’ sports, although girls would be permitted to play with biological boys if there is no comparable female sport.

“This is about protecting female athletes and recognizing their accomplishments within their biological peer group,” said Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, author of the bill, according to the Austin-American Statesman.

The Texas Senate’s vote comes on the heels of the NCAA’s warning that it could pull events from states that approve bills restricting transgender athletes.

On Monday, the NCAA Board of Governors insisted colleges and universities that participate in NCAA tournaments must allow transgender athletes to play in any sport they want. The board insisted that it “firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports.”

The NCAA added that it is considering pulling tournaments from states that don’t toe the transgender line.

When determining where championships are held, NCAA policy directs that only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy, and free of discrimination should be selected. We will continue to closely monitor these situations to determine whether NCAA championships can be conducted in ways that are welcoming and respectful of all participants.

Texas is not alone in considering laws to restrict athletes from competing in categories that correspond only to their birth gender. Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Idaho have already put similar laws in place. And up to a dozen other states are considering similar measures.

Washington

Jeffrey Epstein’s attorneys, who were hoping to persuade a judge to release the accused sexual predator on bail while awaiting trial, submitted a bare bones accounting of his financing this week.

Prosecutors — and the judge — were skeptical.

Now, documents obtained by McClatchy and the Miami Herald provide a more detailed — but still very limited — look at Epstein’s wealth. They also underscore the challenge his accusers and the U.S. legal system might face in seeking restitution if he is convicted of the federal sex trafficking charges filed last week.

Documents released without authorization from Swiss banks show that Epstein in February 1997 was ensconced in the offshore banking world, and he appears in other offshore documents, part of an unauthorized release from Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm specializing in the creation of offshore companies and investment vehicles for the ultra-wealthy. A client bank profile cryptically describes Epstein’s job as “Manager of Fortune.”

These documents also show that from at least 2000 to 2007 Epstein was chairman of a company called Liquid Funding Ltd., which was initially 40 percent owned by the Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns. Bear Stearns’ spectacular collapse and sale to JP Morgan Chase in March 2008 set in motion what months later devolved into the worst U.S. financial crisis since the Great Depression.

Epstein’s wealth became a flash point as his legal team argued that he deserved to gain his release from jail pending trial. Federal prosecutors in New York cited his enormous wealth as adding to the risk he would flee.

The judge Thursday ruled that Epstein must stay locked up.

When asked to document his wealth, lawyers for Epstein told Senior U.S. District Court Judge Richard M. Berman that the answer is complex.

It’s unclear how longEpstein ran Liquid Funding, which tied back to a similarly named company in Delaware, and how much it contributed to the known narrative of Epstein losing big sums during the financial crisis.

But coupled with the fact that many of his businesses were operated in or with help from Caribbean offshore tax havens, the documents raise the likelihood that Epstein’s wealth is spread secretly across the globe. Wealthy people commonly employ opaque offshore companies to mask their true fortunes from tax authorities and creditors, although the companies also have legitimate business and tax-planning uses.

Question: Is this why Bear Stearns had to be the sacrificial lamb on the altar of greed? All the other investment firms hid their ties to Epstein Mossad

Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, find that specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the Russian Federation — in particular, efforts to undermine the conduct of free and fair democratic elections and democratic institutions in the United States and its allies and partners; to engage in and facilitate malicious cyber-enabled activities against the United States and its allies and partners; to foster and use transnational corruption to influence foreign governments; to pursue extraterritorial activities targeting dissidents or journalists; to undermine security in countries and regions important to United States national security; and to violate well-established principles of international law, including respect for the territorial integrity of states — constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

Biden's intelligence chiefs turning on China?

Seems to be focused mostly on cyber attacks

10 days of darkness prepwork? [wipe all the internet - Blade Runner 2049 reference]

U.S. spy chiefs warn of ‘unparalleled’ China threat in return to Congress

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-spy-chiefs-warn-unparalleled-china-threat-return-congress-2021-04-14/

https://archive.ph/vi0UK

U.S. spy agency leaders said on Wednesday that China is an "unparalleled" priority, citing Beijing's regional aggression and cyber capabilities as they testified at a public congressional "Worldwide Threats" hearing for the first time in more than two years.

"Given that China is an unparalleled priority for the intelligence community, I will start with highlighting certain aspects of the threat from Beijing," Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told the Senate Intelligence Committee.

She described China as increasingly "a near-peer competitor challenging the United States in multiple arenas."

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray said his agency opens a new investigation linked to China every 10 hours.

Haines also cited Russian efforts to undermine U.S. influence, Iran's contribution to instability in the Middle East, global terrorism and potential North Korean efforts to "drive wedges" between Washington and its allies as significant threats.

The appearance by Haines and the other intelligence directors was the first such public "Worldwide Threats" hearing since January 2019. Former President Donald Trump, who often clashed with security agencies, did not send officials last year to testify at what is normally an annual event.

Democratic Senator Mark Warner, the committee's chairman, said he was "dismayed" there had been no hearing last year.

EMPHASIS ON TECHNOLOGY

Much of the hearing focused on technology - the threat from hacking, the importance of leading-edge development and the malign influence of social media.

"Today's technology environment allows adversaries to wreak havoc,' panel Republican Vice Chairman Marco Rubio said.

Warner noted the effort Beijing had put into making the Chinese firm Huawei (HWT.UL) a leader of advanced 5G systems, and said he was concerned it might make similar efforts in other emerging technologies.

Noting the dangers of international computer hacking like the recent SolarWinds attack, Warner said: "We may also want to develop new international norms where certain types of attacks are prohibited, just as the use of chemical or bio-weapons is banned."

Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns, National Security Agency Director General Paul Nakasone and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lieutenant General Scott Berrier also testified.

Burns said nearly a third of the CIA's workforce is focused on cyber issues.

Nakasone and Wray said intelligence agencies could benefit from more information from companies about cyber threats, but did not directly endorse calls from some members of Congress for legislation that would demand more of firms like Facebook (FB.O) and Twitter (TWTR.N).

Wray said social media has become "the key amplifier" to domestic violent extremism and malign foreign influence. "The same things that attract people to it for good reasons are also capable of causing all sorts of harms," Wray said.

U.S. intelligence agencies on Tuesday released a sweeping report on global threats. Disease, the rich-poor gap, climate change and conflicts within and among nations will pose greater challenges, with COVID-19 already worsening some of those problems, the report by the National Intelligence Council said.

The intelligence chiefs are due to testify at a second Worldwide Threats hearing, before the House Intelligence committee, on Thursday.

Revealed: Former AG Barr blocked Derek Chauvin plea deal that would have given 10 year sentence

Posted by: Gregory Hoyt|February 11, 2021 |CategoriesFeatured, Investigations

https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/revealed-former-ag-barr-blocked-derek-chauvin-plea-deal-that-would-have-given-10-year-sentence/

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Some interesting new details have come to light regarding the case against former police officer Derek Chauvin, as there was once reportedly a plea deal offered to him days after the death of George Floyd.

And apparently, former AG Bill Barr was the person to have stopped the plea bargain from going through.

Here’s the details on this latest development.

By now, most everyone is familiar with the case lodged against Chauvin as he has been charged in connection with the in-custody death of Floyd from back in May of 2020. Currently, Chauvin is facing charges of second-degree unintentional murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Yet, just days after the death of Floyd, there was reportedly a plea bargain offered to Chauvin for third-degree murder – which Chauvin was reportedly willing to agree to.

Said plea bargain would have seen Chauvin serve a decade or more behind bars for the death of Floyd, which officials were in the process to rally up the press and announce that Chauvin had agreed to plead guilty.

But in order for the deal to go through, it would’ve had to have gotten the greenlight from then-AG Bill Barr, which Barr at the time said to pull the deal.

The reason Barr needed to approve the deal was that said deal would’ve seen Chauvin serve his sentence in federal prison.

The reported rationale for Barr’s decision was multifaceted, according to reports, with Barr at the time expressing concerns that a plea deal for third-degree murder would seem too lenient and that the investigation into the incident was far too early to begin entertaining potential plea bargains.

Furthermore, Barr was also said to have noted that the case was about to fall into the hands of state prosecutors who he felt would be best suited how to handle the case moving forward.

Judicial Watch Sues for Records about Reparations Program in Evanston, Illinois

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the city of Evanston, Illinois for records about its controversial, taxpayer-funded “reparations” program (Judicial Watch v. City of Evanston (No. 2021 CH 01761)).

On March 22, 2021, the Evanston City Council adopted Resolution 37-R27, authorizing the implementation of the Evanston Local Reparations Restorative Housing Program and Program Budget. The program allocated $10 million to provide $25,000 to Black/African American individuals who are either Evanston residents or direct descendants of Evanston residents to the exclusion of all other residents or direct descendants of residents.

Concerned that this program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution as well as other state and federal laws, Judicial Watch opened an investigation into the program and requested information under the Illinois FOIA. Specifically, Judicial Watch requested:

A. Records identifying discriminatory housing policies and practices that the Restorative Housing Reparations Program seeks to remedy;

B. Records identifying the ways in which the Restorative Housing Reparations Program will remedy discriminatory housing policies and practices; C. Records identifying all methods of remedying discriminatory housing policies and practices the Evanston City Council examined before enacting the Restorative Housing Reparations Program;

D. Records identifying all reasons why the Evanston City Council enacted the Restorative Housing Reparations Program instead of any alternative method of remedying discriminatory housing policies and practices;

E. Records relating to the development of criteria by which recipients of Restorative Housing Reparations Program funds will be selected;

F. Records identifying the ways in which providing Restorative Housing Reparations Program funds to the selected recipients will remedy discriminatory housing policies and practices; and

G. Records relating to any other discrimination of any kind, regardless of racial group, the Evanston City Council considered remedying as part of the Restorative Housing Reparations Program or any other proposed reparation programs.

After Evanston officials failed to search for and provide the requested records, Judicial Watch sued in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.

“A government program that provides taxpayer money to individuals based on race plainly violates the law,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The City of Evanston is unlawfully hiding records about its extremist reparations program that will spend tax dollars in a racially-discriminatory manner.”

Judicial Watch’s Illinois lawyer is Christine Svenson of Svenson Law Offices in Chicago, Illinois.

BOMBSHELL:

Montana Supreme Court Email Scandal May Lead to Arrests, Impeachments

Various press outlets have reported, but largely under-reported, a developing scandal regarding the Montana Supreme Court and their refusal to abide by information requests for their email correspondence on publicly-owned servers. But what lies under the surface of the scandal – and what is currently developing – will likely lead to the biggest news story in Montana politics in decades. Ultimately, as this saga continues, the scandal might lead to the impeachment of Supreme Court Justices and the arrest of at least one employee of the court. In the end, Governor Gianforte might be able to appoint new justices to the court, overthrowing the last liberal stronghold in the Montana state government.

…

The following days, particularly Monday, will be especially important for the State of Montana. The cat is out of the bag, so to speak, on the bias of the judiciary and power rests in the hands of the legislature to end their corruption. All signs point to a legislature that is willing and able to hold the justices accountable for their actions.

Cuba not led by a Castro?

Raul Castro, 89, is stepping down as head of its Communist Party, the most powerful position on the island.

The country is grappling with an economic crisis and shortages in food and medicine.

Indiana lawmakers vote to override Gov. Holcomb's veto on emergency powers bill

"If HEA 1123 becomes law and can be used by the General Assembly, it will create significant uncertainty and solidify the controversy over its constitutionality. This is a matter of immediate and substantial public interest. In addition, any legislative actions taken during an unconstitutional special session will be void and thus open and subject to legal challenges to set them aside. Government should serve as a steady foundation during a time of crisis. Avoidable legal challenges during a state of emergency will only serve to be disruptive to our state."

Republican legislative leaders praise the governor’s actions during the pandemic but say the bill is meant to allow the input of lawmakers during extended emergency situations. For things like the stay-at-home orders, the mask mandates and the business restrictions, some Republicans lawmakers say they should have more of a say on such things in a public emergency.

The whole thing could also end up in court.

China summons Japan's envoy to protest Fukushima water release

China's Assistant Foreign Minister Wu Jianghao on Thursday summoned Japan's ambassador to lodge a protest against its recent decision to release treated radioactive water accumulated at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Wu was quoted by the Foreign Ministry as conveying to Ambassador Hideo Tarumi about China's "strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition" to the decision made by the government of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

On Tuesday, Tokyo decided to release the treated water into the sea from the Fukushima plant in two years, a major development following more than seven years of discussions on how to deal with the water used to cool down melted fuel there. China on the same day urged Japan not to go ahead with the discharge "without permission" from other countries and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The United States has shown understanding of Japan's plan, but Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian cast doubt on it, saying Beijing believes Washington "attaches importance to environmental issues." Zhao also suggested China will take countermeasures against Japan if necessary.

In addition to China, Japan's neighbors, South Korea and Taiwan, have expressed opposition to the nation's latest decision, claiming that the treated water would hurt the marine environment, food safety and human health. Japanese officials, however, have pointed out some other countries operating nuclear power plants, including China and South Korea, have released treated radioactive water from reactors there into the environment.

Bye-bye, Little Mr. Tritium: Rollout of cartoon MASCOT to promote dumping Fukushima’s radioactive waters into ocean flops in Japan

Japan’s government has scrapped a mascot promoting the plan to dump contaminated Fukushima wastewaters into the ocean just a day after its release, after the cute character received an extremely poor reception from the public.

The mascot, called ‘Little Mr. Tritium’, was withdrawn by the authorities for redesign on Wednesday. “Since the theme of radiation is highly specialized and difficult to understand, we will use illustrations to get as many people as possible interested,” Japan’s Reconstruction Agency said in a statement.
