How Keith Raniere lured scores of young women into sex slave cult NXIVM

Camila became a sex slave as a young girl not long after she moved with her family from Mexico to New York. But it wasn’t until years later, when she was 25, that she realized she wasn’t the only one.

The revelation came from Keith Raniere, the leader of self-help company Nxivm (pronounced “Nexium”) based in Albany, NY. Camila — her last name is protected by court order — first became involved in the organization at 13, when her parents signed her up for Nxivm’s life-coaching program. Her first conversation with Raniere was about her eighth-grade spelling bee.

A few years later, she moved with her older sisters, Daniela and Marianna, from Mexico to Albany. Without her parents’ knowledge — they were devoted members and occasional coaches for Nxivm, and trusted Raniere implicitly — Raniere set up Camila in “a Clifton Park apartment outfitted with dark velvet curtains blocking out any view inside,” writes investigative journalist Sarah Berman in her new book, “Don’t Call It a Cult: The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of Nxivm” (Steerforth), out Tuesday.

In text messages to Camila, Raniere called it “our home” and he visited her often, without other adult supervision. “Even Camila’s close friends and family didn’t know where she lived,” Berman writes.

According to Camila’s court testimony, Raniere took naked photos of her and raped her in September 2005, when she was just 15. But it took another decade before she learned the full scope of Raniere’s sinister plans.

In a series of text messages on October 9, 2015, Raniere told her about a secret Nxivm subgroup he was building, a women’s empowerment sorority called DOS, or Dominus Obsequious Sororium — a fake Latin phrase roughly translating to “master over the slave women.” He described it as “a badass bitch boot camp,” writes Berman. “Some women even talked about it as if it were an elite talent agency … like the Freemasons but for women wanting to build character and change the world.”

The truth, however, was that it was a twisted sex cult, with “first-line” masters and sex slaves, all serving the needs of Raniere, known to his acolytes as Vanguard or Grandmaster. “Both the masters and the slaves were all women,” writes Berman. “Everything about their lives, from what they ate or wore to when they cut their hair, Raniere controlled.”

Every slave would “be branded with my monogram plus a number,” Raniere texted to Camila. “Your number is reserved. It is number 1. It is now a secret growing organization.”

Camila was not happy with Raniere’s plans to brand her.

“Branded like cattle?” she asked. “You want to burn me?”

“You don’t want to burn for me?” Raniere, now 60, responded.

The branding ceremony was a terrifying event. Sarah Edmondson, 43, an aspiring actress from Canada and one of the first former members to go public about Nxivm, told the author about being inducted into DOS with four other women, who took turns holding each other down, naked, while a doctor used a cauterizing pen to carve Raniere’s initials and a cryptic symbol near their pelvises — with no anesthetic.

“We were crying, we were shaking, we were holding each other,” she told Berman. “It was horrific. It was like a bad horror movie. We even had these surgical masks on because the smell of [burning] flesh was so strong.”

Sex slaves and branding weren’t on the agenda when Nxivm was founded in 1998. In the beginning, it was billed as a self-help program for “dreamers with deep pockets,” writes Berman.

With over 16,000 members in the United States, Canada and Mexico — including high-profile names like Nicki Clyne (an actress from the TV series “Battlestar Galactica”) and Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman — they were attracted by Raniere’s message of personal responsibility for one’s own emotions.

Raniere, raised an only child in Suffern, NY, grew up with fawning parents and “a near-constant need for validation.” He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a 2.26 GPA and worked for Amway before founding several marketing companies in the ’90s that failed, like Consumer Buyline Inc (which sold discounted household products) and National Health Network (a multilevel seller of vitamins). In late 1997, he met nurse and hypnotherapist Nancy Salzman, who was intrigued by his self-help methodologies, which Raniere claimed to have learned at 14. They joined forces to create Nxivm.

“Students explored how they created their own suffering, and how they could use any perceived harm done to them as a teaching moment instead,” writes Berman.

Nxivm — the name is allegedly a reference to the Roman concept of debt bondage — was designed for millionaires or aspiring millionaires, and was soon offering its boutique executive coaching in cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, Toronto, London and Vancouver. Federal prosecutors have estimated that Nxivm launched well over a hundred offshoot companies, everything from yoga schools to science foundations to day cares, that were all part of a pyramid-like hierarchy and held together with a “feverish belief that, with the right mindset and plan, anything was possible,” Berman writes.

Although women were in the majority at Nxivm, men joined as well, signing up for a program called Society of Protectors “aimed at uncovering and harnessing innate ‘female’ and ‘male’ ways of being,” writes Berman. A “male” way of being involved toughening up fellow members with bullying, name-calling, body shaming and other abuse.

As Edmondson explained to the author, new students would be recruited mostly in social situations, often friends of friends. Nxivm called it “building rapport,” a technique that members practiced and studied at length. From the outside, nothing seemed scary and cult-like about the company. At worst, it came across as corny.

“It was like a smiley, slightly kooky summer camp for adults,” Berman writes. “Everything about this group seemed as wholesome as a Thanksgiving dinner.” Women joined because “they wanted to help people and do something important with their lives,” she writes.

It also helped that Raniere, like all successful cult leaders, was charismatic and charming.

“The way true believers talked about him, it was as if he had magical powers,” Berman writes. “They commended his contributions to science, his commitment to the harnessing of human potential.”

But potential wasn’t the only thing he wanted to harness.

Nicole, an actress recruited into Nxivm in 2013 whose last name is protected by court order, was initially enthusiastic about the group, especially when she was encouraged to join by Allison Mack, an acting friend with roles on TV shows like “Smallville” and “Wilfred.” But what at first seemed like an opportunity to grow and network soon turned dark, when she was asked for “collateral” to ensure her vow of secrecy.

“Mack told Nicole she’d need to write a letter that would hurt her family if it was ever made public,” Berman writes. “Mack herself had written a letter claiming her father had molested her as a child, and she suggested Nicole do the same.”

Nicole wrote the letter and then “made a solo sex tape that Mack promised to keep in an underground vault where no one could look at it,” Berman writes. All slaves were required to make similar tapes of themselves in sexually explicit situations.

Collateral wasn’t the only price of admission to DOS. Nicole was instructed to text “Good morning, Master” to Raniere when she woke up, and “Good night, Master” before she went to bed.

The “slave” label didn’t sit well with everyone. When Edmondson recoiled at the terminology, her friend and fellow Nxivm member Lauren Salzman assured her that “master” and “slave” was just another way of saying “guru” and “disciple,” or “coach” and “athlete.”

But the ugly reality soon proved otherwise. In April of 2016, Nicole had her first encounter with Raniere, who took her to a house and instructed her to undress. Then he laid her on a table, blindfolded her and tied down her wrists and feet. He began asking her questions about her sex life as “an unknown person performed oral sex on her,” Berman writes.

“I’m trying to process what’s going on,” Nicole recalled. “There is somebody else in the room. OK, so now there’s two people in the room. Are there three people in the room? Like, how many people are in this room right now?”

The hierarchy included dozens of masters and sex slaves, all women, who ultimately served the sexual desires of Raniere. As he often reminded his army of masters and slaves in text messages, he could command sex from any of them at any time, but that wasn’t the “purpose” of DOS. The purpose was total devotion to him. And failing to offer themselves completely to him could have consequences.

Raniere once wrote to Camila, suggesting that it would be good for her “to own a f–k toy slave for me, that you could groom, and use as a tool to pleasure me.” Camila declined, telling him that she wasn’t “turned on by owning.”

Later, when Camila started dating a Nxivm member closer to her age, Raniere punished her with a “program” for women he deemed guilty of betrayal, which involved self-flagellation and calorie restriction.

Raniere expected his slaves to be as underweight as possible — for Camila, she was pressured to be 100 pounds or less, and she reported her weight to him every day. “You need to eat less,” Raniere once texted her. “The extra weight hurts my heart physically when I am with you.”

Many members went to extreme lengths to meet Raniere’s weight demands. Mack preferred a diet of squash, a low-calorie vegetable dressed up as pasta. “She ate so much of it,” Berman writes, “that her palms once turned orange.”

Raniere wanted to control every aspect of his slaves, from their pubic hair — as Nxivm member Lauren Salzman testified, “His preference was that it be natural … not groomed” — to their willingness to be punished for even the most minor offenses. Salzman revealed that Raniere had been acquiring equipment for a BDSM dungeon and “increasingly women were being paddled for their shortcomings,” Berman writes.

Salzman claimed the humiliating punishment, which was usually filmed, included a “steel puppy cage” that Raniere said “was for the people who were the most committed to growth.” Though she wanted to challenge herself, she worried that Raniere was choosing assignments “for maximum cruelty and degradation.”

A New York Times expose in late 2017 sparked a federal investigation, and Raniere fled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, when FBI agents began interviewing Nxivm associates. He was arrested on March 26, 2018, after several members finally agreed to testify against him.

Among them was Camila, who initially refused to speak with prosecutors on the advice of lawyers working for Raniere. She was convinced to come forward by her sister, Daniela, although her father, Hector, and oldest sister, Marianna, remain staunch supporters of Raniere. (Hector wrote a letter to the court, describing Raniere as “honest, whole, brilliant intelligence, always ready to help, cheerful and in love with humanity.”)

“[Raniere] hid his abuse behind ideas and concepts of nobility, but there is nothing noble about abusing a child,” Camila, now in her 30s, told the court. “I never got to live like a normal teenager. I never went on a date until I was 29. I missed so much of my own life, I find it difficult to even conceptualize what I have missed.”

Last October, Raniere was sentenced to 120 years in prison on charges of federal sex trafficking, racketeering and possession of child pornography. Though many of his most fervent supporters have never wavered in their loyalty — Bronfman set up a $14.3 million trust to pay for the defendants’ legal fees — most have finally realized how much they’ve been victimized.

“It has taken me three years and a substantial amount of space from your manipulation to realize that the shame that has been weighing so heavily on my shoulders is not mine to carry,” Nicole said during her court testimony, delivering her speech directly to Raniere. “It’s yours.”

Ghislaine Maxwell to face two separate Manhattan criminal trials

Ghislaine Maxwell is now scheduled to face two criminal trials in Manhattan federal court, after a judge ruled Friday to separate the perjury charges against her from her sexual-misconduct case.

Judge Alison Nathan said in an order that if the perjury charges against Maxwell were tried alongside her sexual-abuse allegations, it “would risk an unfair trial on each set of counts.”

The perjury charges would bring, “unrelated allegations of sexual abuse, which would

potentially expose the jury to evidence that might otherwise not be admissible,” Nathan wrote in her order.

Maxwell is accused of procuring underage girls to be abused by multimillionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s.

In the indictment against her, federal prosecutors also charged her with lying under oath in a civil-suit deposition unrelated to the sexual-abuse charges.

The deposition dealt with allegations of sexual misconduct but not those charged by prosecutors.

A jury which is asked to weigh all of those factors together may conflate the evidence against the defendant, Judge Nathan said.

LOS ANGELES – A Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire has resolved and two of his associates have agreed to resolve a federal investigation that they conspired to violate federal election laws by scheming to make illegal campaign contributions to U.S. presidential and congressional candidates, the Department of Justice announced today.

Gilbert Chagoury, 75, who presently resides in Paris, France, paid $1.8 million to resolve allegations that he, with the assistance of others, provided approximately $180,000 to individuals in the United States that was used to make contributions to four different federal political candidates in U.S. elections.

Chagoury, a foreign national prohibited by federal law from contributing to any U.S. elections, admitted he intended these funds to be used to make contributions to these candidates. He further admitted to making illegal conduit contributions – causing campaign contributions to be made in the name of another individual.

According to a deferred prosecution agreement with the government, Chagoury accepted responsibility for his role and conduct that resulted in violations of federal election contribution laws between June 2012 and March 2016 and agreed to cooperate with the government’s investigation. Chagoury entered into the agreement on October 19, 2019, and he paid the fine in December 2019.

Federal prosecutors entered into the deferred prosecution agreement considering, among other factors, Chagoury’s unique assistance to the U.S. government, his payment of a fine, Chagoury’s acceptance of responsibility for his actions, and his residence outside the United States.

Relatedly, two Chagoury associates – Joseph Arsan, 68, also of Paris, and Toufic Joseph Baaklini, 58, of Washington, D.C. – agreed to resolve allegations that they violated campaign contribution laws by assisting Chagoury in his illegal contributions. Arsan, a physician who worked as an assistant to Chagoury, admitted helping Chagoury reimburse others for contributions to political candidates. In 2014, Arsan – at Chagoury’s direction – wired $30,000 to a third party and indicated on the wire information form that the funds were for a “wedding gift,” when he knew or should have known that the funds were reimbursement for making a political contribution to a campaign fund for a federal elected official.

U.S. fines Gilbert Chagoury $1.8m for violating campaign donations

By PM NEWS Editor -April 4, 2021

Gilbert Chagoury, the Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire, owner of Eko Hotel and Eko Atlantic City has been fined $1.8million by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The fine arose over illegal campaign contributions to candidates.

The 75 year-old eldest of the Chagoury clan, has already paid the fine, about N735 million, according to a statement released by the DOJ Central District of California.

The statement said Chagoury has resolved and two of his associates have agreed to resolve a federal investigation that they conspired to violate federal election laws.

This, they did by scheming to make illegal campaign contributions to U.S. presidential and congressional candidates.

Read the statement by DOJ:

Gilbert Chagoury, 75, who presently resides in Paris, France, paid $1.8 million to resolve allegations that he, with the assistance of others, provided approximately $180,000 to individuals in the United States that was used to make contributions to four different federal political candidates in U.S. elections.

Chagoury, a foreign national prohibited by federal law from contributing to any U.S. elections, admitted he intended these funds to be used to make contributions to these candidates. He further admitted to making illegal conduit contributions – causing campaign contributions to be made in the name of another individual.

According to a deferred prosecution agreement with the government, Chagoury accepted responsibility for his role and conduct that resulted in violations of federal election contribution laws between June 2012 and March 2016 and agreed to cooperate with the government’s investigation.

Chagoury entered into the agreement on October 19, 2019, and he paid the fine in December 2019.

Federal prosecutors entered into the deferred prosecution agreement considering, among other factors, Chagoury’s unique assistance to the U.S. government, his payment of a fine, Chagoury’s acceptance of responsibility for his actions, and his residence outside the United States.

Relatedly, two Chagoury associates – Joseph Arsan, 68, also of Paris, and Toufic Joseph Baaklini, 58, of Washington, D.C. – agreed to resolve allegations that they violated campaign contribution laws by assisting Chagoury in his illegal contributions.

Arsan, a physician who worked as an assistant to Chagoury, admitted helping Chagoury reimburse others for contributions to political candidates.

In 2014, Arsan – at Chagoury’s direction – wired $30,000 to a third party and indicated on the wire information form that the funds were for a “wedding gift,” when he knew or should have known that the funds were reimbursement for making a political contribution to a campaign fund for a federal elected official.

Arsan’s deferred prosecution agreement, which took effect in November 2020, also resolves a criminal investigation into his alleged tax violations in the years 2012 to 2016 stemming from his failure to report money he held in foreign bank accounts.

Arsan agreed to pay $1.7 million in penalties to resolve the tax probe and to cooperate in the government’s investigation.

In his deferred prosecution agreement signed on March 1, 2021, Baaklini admitted to giving $30,000 in cash provided by Chagoury to an individual at a restaurant in Los Angeles who, along with others, later made campaign contributions to the 2016 campaign of a U.S. congressman.

Baaklini also agreed to pay a $90,000 fine as part of his agreement and agreed to cooperate with the government’s investigation.

In a separate and unrelated matter, Ray LaHood, 75, who served as U.S. Secretary of Transportation from 2009 to 2013, paid a $40,000 fine to resolve a federal criminal investigation into LaHood’s conduct related to a $50,000 financial transaction between LaHood and Baaklini in June 2012.

LaHood, who at the time was suffering financial difficulties, admitted that in 2012 he accepted a $50,000 personal check from Baaklini – with the word “Loan” written in the check’s memo portion – and understood at the time that the money came from Chagoury.

LaHood failed to disclose the $50,000 check on two government ethics forms as required because LaHood did not want to be associated with Chagoury.

Later, LaHood also made misleading statements to FBI agents investigating Chagoury about the check and its source. As part of his non-prosecution agreement signed in December 2019, LaHood also agreed to cooperate with the government’s investigation and repaid the $50,000 to Baaklini.

This matter was investigated by the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation, and Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General.

Government-Funded Agency Forcibly Separates 1,000 Innocent Children From Their Mothers Each Day

The nation is growing increasingly outraged over a government-funded agency that is forcibly separating 1,000 innocent children from their mothers each and every day, sources across the country confirmed Tuesday. Although no law mandates that the agency separate the children from their mothers for the rest of their lives, the organization’s policy has been to perform the separations anyway, causing millions of Americans to begin calling for the agency to cease this cruel, barbaric practice. According to reports, the agency has been working in this same manner for decades, all while receiving federal tax dollars to continue its operations, despite the brutal, anti-child, and anti-parenthood nature of its family separation policy.

One dead after section of old Bonner Bridge collapses during demolition

One person has died after one of the last remaining section of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge over Oregon Inlet collapsed on Wednesday.

Emergency responders were called to Oregon Inlet just before 5 p.m. One of the two remaining sections of the navigation span in the middle of the inlet appeared to have collapsed.

The Dare County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday evening confirmed that one person was standing on the bridge. At least one other person was reported seriously injured. Other details about the incident were not yet available.

The Island Free Press reported officials were notifying the family members of the deceased, and have not released the person’s name.

Crystal meth found in breakfast burrito at Hobby Airport security checkpoint

According to a release, the discovery was made on Friday, April 2, during a routine x-ray screening of carry-on luggage.

We’re told a transportation security officer saw what appeared to be an unidentified lump inside of a breakfast burrito.

After a second officer took control of the burrito, the traveler was asked to unwrap it for visual inspection.

Authorities stated that the traveler insisted it was just a breakfast burrito and the officer asked again to unwrap the burrito.

Once the wrapper was opened, officers noticed something dark and unusual in the middle of the burrito.

As the food item didn’t match what the traveler stated, a supervisory transportation security officer was asked to assist and decided to rescreen the burrito through the X-ray.

After the second scan, authorities said they saw what appeared to be black tape and dark wrapping around a large organic mass.

That’s when officials notified the Houston Police Department because they suspected there was an illegal substance concealed in the food.

The release stated HPD determined that the lump was crystal meth.

HPD officers later took possession of the contraband and the traveler was placed under arrest.

Biden’s Intelligence Community Is Not Focused on China or Antifa But on their Political Opposition – President Trump, Roger Stone, Kash Patel and American Patriots Are First in Line

It’s no secret. We know Obama did it before. Now the Obama/Biden White House is at it again – using the Intel community to attack Americans who are supporters of America and the MAGA agenda.

We heard yesterday from the Deep State’s mouthpiece – the Washington Post – that the Deep State is again on the attack. Now they’re after Kash Patel:

Kash Patel, the former GOP congressional aide who uncovered the FBI’s surveillance abuse against the Trump campaign, is the target of a federal leak investigation, according to a report from The Washington Post.

David Ignatius, a columnist for the Post, reported Friday that two sources familiar with the probe said that Patel is being investigated for unauthorized disclosures of classified information.

The investigation was sparked by a complaint made by an intelligence agency, according to Ignatius.

This is only the beginning. We knew the Deep State was bad and corrupted under Obama. They allowed Hillary to walk in a sham investigation and created the made-up Trump – Russia conspiracy at the same time. The Deep State was never addressed under the Trump Presidency.

The new Attorney General was Obama’s pick to the Supreme Court. We saw him in action in the General Flynn case before the DC Circuit Court. He was rude and biased. He agreed with the court that they needed to keep the Flynn case open. Unprecedented in US history, it was fine with Garland to keep prosecuting a case even though the prosecution and the defendants agreed to end it as long as the defendant was General Flynn.

Biden Isn't Ending The Afghan War, He's Privatizing It

'Unclear' If Over 18,000 Contractors Will Ever Leave Afghanistan: Pentagon

While President Biden said he will withdraw troops from Afghanistan, it’s not clear if his plan extends to the thousands of contractors working for the Pentagon that are still in the country.

When asked about this issue on Friday, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said he wasn’t sure. "So on the contractors, we don’t know exactly. There are some preliminary plans. And clearly, the goal is to get all our personnel out and I suspect that contractors will be part of that. But whether there’ll still be a need for some contractor support, I just don’t know," he said.

The US plans to continue supporting the Afghan military and Air Force. Since the bulk of the maintenance for these armed forces is performed by US contractors, there’s a good chance the Pentagon will justify a continued presence of private contractors.

According to numbers released in January, there are over 18,000 contractors working in Afghanistan. About 4,700 of the current contractors are Afghans that were hired locally. The remaining come from outside of the country, including about a third who are US citizens.

According to Stars and Stripes, 1,575 of the contractors are armed mercenaries, mostly Americans and other foreigners. While this number is only a small fighting force, it could be combined with intelligence operatives and proxies like the Afghan military to give the US the ability to strike inside Afghanistan.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on Wednesday that the US wants to maintain "counterterrorist assets" in the region. On Tuesday, The New York Times cited current and former US officials who said the US "will most likely rely on a shadowy combination of clandestine Special Operations forces, Pentagon contractors and covert intelligence operatives" to conduct operations inside Afghanistan.

Twitter Promotes Conservative Doxxing Article Based On 'Hacked' Materials – Violating Own Policy Used To Protect Hunter Biden

Twitter hypocrisy is on full display, and they aren't even trying to hide it.

After banning the New York Post and others for a factual report on Hunter Biden's not hacked laptop last October - citing their 'doxxing and hacked materials' policy, the social media giant actively promoted a story from The Guardian on Friday which not only doxxes conservative donors to Kyle Rittenhouse and other BLM targets - but was based on hacked materials obtained by a hacking collective that Twitter banned in

As Luke Rosiak of the Daily Wire details, The Guardian story which doxxes several low-level government employees who donated to Rittenhouse and others was based on a "data breach at a Christian crowdfunding website" GiveSendGo - and placed atop Twitter's "trending" section, which is manually curated by site employees.

West cited ‘fake news’ to justify bombing Syria, MEP tells RT after confronting ‘compromised’ OPCW chief over Douma report

MEP Mick Wallace has made no apologies for grilling OPCW Director-General Fernando Arias during a parliamentary session, telling RT that Arias seemed to be using the organization to back the West’s interventionist agenda in Syria.

Arias addressed the European Parliament Subcommittee of Security and Defence on Thursday, an occasion that Wallace used to put some tough questions to the chief of the UN chemical weapons watchdog.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has repeatedly suggested that President Bashar Assad has deployed chemical weapons on his own people, allegations that have been used by the US and some of its Western allies to launch airstrikes against Syria. But some of the agency’s conclusions have come under intense scrutiny in recent months, particularly a report it released concerning an alleged chemical attack in Douma, near Damascus, in 2018. Whistleblower testimony and internal documents suggest that the OPCW may have suppressed key information that contradicted a predetermined conclusion regarding who was responsible for the incident.

Wallace called on Arias to fully investigate the allegations in a “transparent” manner, a request which did not sit well with subcommittee chairwoman Nathalie Loiseau, who accused the Ireland South MEP of spreading “fake news.”

Russia Shuts Ukraine's Military Access To Black Sea

It was announced Thursday that Russia will close off the Kerch Strait to all foreign warships for six months amid rising Ukraine tensions, and after the US threatened to send additional warships to the area. The Kerch Strait is the vital, narrow waterway connecting the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and which importantly connects southern Russia to "annexed" Crimea.

"Putin will close the Kerch Strait beginning next week until October, blocking foreign warships that are conducting military exercises, including the US, the Ukraine foreign ministry said Thursday," The New York Post reported.

The move has enraged Ukraine, which is now accusing Russia of seeking to 'illegally' block its ships - especially naval vessels - from accessing the Black Sea, and has protested what it says is a severe violation of norms of 'freedom of navigation.

Ukraine's foreign ministry said "such actions by the Russian Federation are another attempt to violate the norms and principles of international law to usurp the sovereign rights of Ukraine as a coastal state, as Ukraine has the right to regulate navigation in these areas of the Black Sea."

Moscow has since underscored that it will not impact regional trade, particularly the regional grain trade for which the strait serves as a vital passageway, and that the closure is necessary for "military exercises". Reuters on Friday cited state sources to detail the following:

The right of passage of foreign warships and "other state ships" will be suspended in three spots near Crimea's Black Sea coast from April 24 until October 31, RIA said, citing Russia's defence ministry.

Russia says the strait is not closed to commercial and trade vessels. The closure comes after the Kremlin warned American naval ships to stay away from approaching the Crimea "for their own good".

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The Military Origins of Facebook

Facebook’s growing role in the ever-expanding surveillance and “pre-crime” apparatus of the national security state demands new scrutiny of the company’s origins and its products as they relate to a former, controversial DARPA-run surveillance program that was essentially analogous to what is currently the world’s largest social network.

In mid-February, Daniel Baker, a US veteran described by the media as “anti-Trump, anti-government, anti-white supremacists, and anti-police,” was charged by a Florida grand jury with two counts of “transmitting a communication in interstate commerce containing a threat to kidnap or injure.”

The communication in question had been posted by Baker on Facebook, where he had created an event page to organize an armed counter-rally to one planned by Donald Trump supporters at the Florida capital of Tallahassee on January 6. “If you are afraid to die fighting the enemy, then stay in bed and live. Call all of your friends and Rise Up!,” Baker had written on his Facebook event page.

Baker’s case is notable as it is one of the first “precrime” arrests based entirely on social media posts—the logical conclusion of the Trump administration’s, and now Biden administration’s, push to normalize arresting individuals for online posts to prevent violent acts before they can happen. From the increasing sophistication of US intelligence/military contractor Palantir’s predictive policing programs to the formal announcement of the Justice Department’s Disruption and Early Engagement Program in 2019 to Biden’s first budget, which contains $111 million for pursuing and managing “increasing domestic terrorism caseloads,” the steady advance toward a precrime-centered “war on domestic terror” has been notable under every post-9/11 presidential administration.

This new so-called war on domestic terror has actually resulted in many of these types of posts on Facebook. And, while Facebook has long sought to portray itself as a “town square” that allows people from across the world to connect, a deeper look into its apparently military origins and continual military connections reveals that the world’s largest social network was always intended to act as a surveillance tool to identify and target domestic dissent.

Part 1 of this two-part series on Facebook and the US national-security state explores the social media network’s origins and the timing and nature of its rise as it relates to a controversial military program that was shut down the same day that Facebook launched. The program, known as LifeLog, was one of several controversial post-9/11 surveillance programs pursued by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that threatened to destroy privacy and civil liberties in the United States while also seeking to harvest data for producing “humanized” artificial intelligence (AI).

As this report will show, Facebook is not the only Silicon Valley giant whose origins coincide closely with this same series of DARPA initiatives and whose current activities are providing both the engine and the fuel for a hi-tech war on domestic dissent.

“We Need China” – Biden’s Presumptive Ambassador Worked at a CCP-Linked Consulting Firm, And A Harvard Group Advising China’s Military.

President Biden’s presumptive Ambassador to China – Nick Burns – is a former adviser to a consulting firm employing Chinese Communist Party officials, a board member of a Harvard University program collaborating with China’s military, and a contributor to Chinese state-run media outlets.

While corporate news media outlets refer to Burns as a “career diplomat,” he is in fact more like a career Chinese Communist Party apparatchik, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

Prior to joining Team Biden, Burns served as a Senior Counselor at the Cohen Group, a consulting firm founded by Bill Clinton-era Defense Secretary Bill Cohen. The Cohen Group works closely with former Chinese Communist Party officials many consultants are active in various D.C.-based China lobbying groups. What’s more, the group has participated in an advisory program working with an entity sanctioned by President Trump for human rights abuses against Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

The former member of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush’s State Department also serves on the Board of Harvard’s Belfer Center, which routinely conducts cybersecurity events alongside Chinese Communist Party military officials and has appeared on China Global Television Network (CGTN).

“We can’t see them as the enemy because we need them,” Burns remarked in reference to China at a 2020 Aspen Institute event.

CCP Consultancy.

The Cohen Group’s China Practice claims to facilitate “constructive engagement and cooperation between leading multinational companies and Chinese enterprises around the world” as well as “support Chinese companies engaged in high-quality investments overseas.”

To do so, the Cohen Group has retained two China-based offices in Beijing and Tianjin for over a decade and employs former Chinese Communist Party officials.

The group’s Beijing Deputy Chief Representative, Xiaorong Wu, led the Chinese Communist Party’s “era of sovereignty” campaign as a former official in the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs “where he participated in Sino-UK negotiation on the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong to China.”

Another Chief Representative, Yinghua Wang, joined the group in 2007 after years of serving the Chinese Communist Party’s Tianjin Municipal Government. As an official, Mr. Wang “frequently hosted meetings with foreign officials in order to foster stronger political and economic ties between Tianjin and state governments in the United States.”

As of Tuesday, EudraVigilance, the EMA’s database of adverse drug reports, reported 4,036 “fatal results” after vaccination with Pfizer, as well as 1,922 and 1,234 deaths after vaccines given by Moderna and , by AstraZeneca.

EudraVigilance also reported 20 deaths from the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson. The database revealed more than 200,000 injuries, possibly related to the four vaccines, of which tens of thousands of cases considered “serious”. The US government also reported 3,005 deaths and more than 56,869 side effects after the April 12 coronavirus vaccinations.

The injuries in the United States are being tracked by VAERS, a surveillance system overseen by the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Among the adverse reaction reports for the COVID-19 vaccine published by VAERS, 42% of deaths occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of inoculation. “Vaccination campaigns, apparently, often take place in nursing homes without ensuring in advance that the person affected has not already contracted an infection,” said Dr. Frank Gunter, a German medical expert, who indicated the“ insufficiently researched long-term consequences ”of vaccines.

“I have never seen such a large number of side effects of a vaccine,” said Parisian infectious disease specialist Prof. Eric Caumes last year. “No, really, it’s too much, maybe there’s a problem,” he told Le Parisien. The conclusion of LifeSiteNews is that all healthy people who contract the Covid virus survive, especially with certain treatment schemes.

Speaking of vaccines and herd immunity acquired through mass vaccinations (forget about mRNA genetic therapy, which is experimental and very weird), 70% of people already have T-cell immunity from other infections. Children have near 100% immunity due to the many early childhood infections they get. T-cell immunity lasts 15-20 years, and in some cases a lifetime.

The body never forgets how to make antibodies, however due to age and other things like toxins and injury cause the immune system to be less effective.

Always remember:

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ASYMPTOMATIC SPREAD!!!!

THERE ARE NO VARIANTS.

DOJ Is Reportedly Investigating Ex-Trump Official Who Debunked The Russia Collusion Narrative

Kash Patel, the former GOP congressional aide who uncovered the FBI’s surveillance abuse against the Trump campaign, is the target of a federal leak investigation, according to a report from The Washington Post.

David Ignatius, a columnist for the Post, reported Friday that two sources familiar with the probe said that Patel is being investigated for unauthorized disclosures of classified information.

The investigation was sparked by a complaint made by an intelligence agency, according to Ignatius.

By his own admission, Patel has ruffled feathers in the intelligence community, FBI and Justice Department due to his aggressive efforts to unlock details of the counterintelligence investigation against the 2016 Trump campaign.

Patel served as an investigator for Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee before joining the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Defense Department during the Trump administration.

While working on Capitol Hill, Patel played a central role in the investigation that uncovered details about the infamous Steele dossier, as well as the FBI’s use of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

At ODNI, Patel helped push through the declassification of a trove of documents related to the dossier and the FISA warrants which have proved embarrassing for the FBI.

Patel did not respond to a request for comment about the Post report. But one of Patel’s former colleagues speculated that if he is under investigation, it is likely because of his role debunking the narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

“Kash embarrassed intelligence officials by getting documents declassified showing the Russia collusion investigation was a fraud,” the former Patel colleague told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Now they’re getting payback and making an example out of him.”

“These guys fight dirty.”

Patel’s former colleague spoke on the condition of anonymity because of a possible ongoing investigation.

French Police Instructed to Bend Lockdown Rules for Muslims During Ramadan: Report

Police and gendarmes in the French department of Tarn have reportedly been instructed to not give out warnings or fines to Muslims breaking Wuhan coronavirus curfew during Ramadan.

Officers have allegedly been instructed by the Tarn prefecture not to hand out warnings or fines to Muslims who travelling until 10 p.m. at night and from 5 a.m. in the morning as they go for prayers.

Currently, mainland France is under a curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., according to the French government website, which lists several exemptions such as work or walking a pet within one kilometre of a residence — but does not list any specific religious exemptions.

According to a report from the newspaper Le Journal d’Ici, police officials in Tarn were informed earlier this week by internal email that “practitioners are authorized by the prefecture to dispense alms (resulting in the delivery of food to friends, families…).”

The internal emails also noted that the breaking of Ramadan fast in the evening ” is potentially likely to generate gatherings on public roads or in the vicinity of mosques.”

Local police spoke with the newspaper expressing concern with the move, with one officer saying he did not know how to really prove those on the street were Muslim, Jewish, or Christian.

“It doesn’t tell us what we need to do in practice if we come across a grouping greater than the authorized gauge of six people, during the curfew. Should we close our eyes? As usual, this inaccuracy forces us to interpret as best we can,” one officer said.

SNP Pledges to Introduce BLM-Style ‘Anti-Racist Education’ to Confront ‘UK’s Colonial History

The ruling left-separatist party in Scotland has vowed to introduce “anti-racist education” in order to confront the “UK’s colonial history”.

The election manifesto from the Scottish National Party (SNP), dubbed “Scotland’s Future“, said that the Black Lives Matter movement has inspired the party to mandate that schools teach Marxist-style attacks on British history to their pupils.

“The Black Lives Matter movement has shone a powerful spotlight on continuing racial injustice and race-based violence, and the need for countries to face their colonial history,” said the manifesto for the party, which runs the British home nation’s devolved government — roughly equivalent to a state government in the United States.

“We will create a new programme of anti-racist education in schools, including support for teachers’ professional development, allowing every school to access high-quality anti-racist education. To track progress, we will improve the reporting and publication of data on racist incidents in schools,” the SNP continued.

The woke manifesto also called for “LGBT history, role models and equalities education” to be taught in Scottish schools as a bulwark against “homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic bullying”.

Responding to the leftist education agenda being pushed by the SNP, a professor of education policy at the University of Edinburgh, Lindsay Paterson, told The Telegraph that racism has already been featured in the curriculum since the 1980s.

“The important point is that teachers are very experienced in teaching contentious issues in a balanced way. It’s unfortunate when politicians don’t recognise the good work that has been done, including the work that has found a way of dealing with controversial issues objectively,” Professor Paterson said.

“Politicians are better to leave this kind of topic to teachers, who know very well how to handle controversy sensitively,” the academic claimed.

Retired teacher and chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, Chris McGovern, was also critical of the manifesto pledge, saying that it is, in fact, “racist to teach history through the narrow perspective being proposed by the SNP.”

“Humankind’s capacity for good and evil has nothing to do with skin colour. The SNP’s education policy needs to stop playing truant with truth,” McGovern said.

The SNP candidate for the Motherwell & Wishaw constituency, Clare Adamson, defended the manifesto pledge, saying: “The SNP is committed to strengthening education for our young people and recognising the importance of having equality and human rights embedded in our education.

Joe Biden Overrules Staff Plan, Raises Refugee Inflow

Pro-migration Democrats and business allies got President Joe Biden to quickly overrule a Friday announcement by his top staff that would have capped the 2021 inflow of refugees at 15,000.

“The President’s directive today has been the subject of some confusion,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in an afternoon statement. “We expect the President to set a final, increased refugee cap for the remainder of this fiscal year by May 15,” she added.

The Psaki announcement came a few hours after Jake Sullivan, Biden’s National Security Advisor, tweeted:

America needs to rebuild our refugee resettlement program. We will use all 15,000 slots under the new Determination and work with Congress on increasing admissions and building back to the numbers to which we’ve committed.

The scale of the reversal may not be known until May 15, when the final 2021 number is scheduled for release. But pro-migration groups are hoping that Biden will announce a 2021 goal of importing several tens-of-thousands of refugees before October, up from the 15,000 scheduled by former President Donald Trump.

The Washington Post reported late on Friday:

Late Friday, White House officials held a call with refugee advocates, during which deputy national security adviser Jon Finer said the cap would likely be lifted well before May 15, according to two people on the call. Finer also said that the administration would try to resettle refugees as soon as possible, rather than spreading out the admissions until Sept. 30, the people said. White House officials plan to hold another meeting with advocates next week, people with knowledge of the plans said.

Biden’s afternoon reversal came after a furious backlash by pro-migration advocates, including senior Democrats, far-left advocates, and business groups.

The morning statement setting the 15,000 level was slammed by Democrats, including Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). “This is unacceptable,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, (D-IL), the second-ranking Democrat Senator.

The politicians’ protests were backed up by pro-migration advocates, including the FWD.us group of investors funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

“We strongly urge President Biden to reverse this decision and commit to his prior promises to rebuild America’s refugee program,” said a quick statement from the FWD.us group, which supports almost any increased inflow of workers, consumers, and renters into the American economy.

Journalists, Learning They Spread a CIA Fraud About Russia, Instantly Embrace a New One

The most significant Trump-era alliance is between corporate outlets and security state agencies, whose evidence-free claims they unquestioningly disseminate.

That Russia placed "bounties” on the heads of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan was one of the most-discussed and consequential news stories of 2020. It was also, as it turns out, one of the most baseless — as the intelligence agencies who spread it through their media spokespeople now admit, largely because the tale has fulfilled and outlived its purpose.

The saga began on June 26, 2020, when The New York Times announced that unnamed “American intelligence officials” have concluded that “a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops.” The paper called it “a significant and provocative escalation” by Russia. Though no evidence was ever presented to support the CIA's claims — neither in that original story nor in any reporting since — most U.S. media outlets blindly believed it and spent weeks if not longer treating it as proven, highly significant truth. Leading politicians from both parties similarly used this emotional storyline to advance multiple agendas.

The story appeared — coincidentally or otherwise — just weeks after President Trump announced his plan to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2020. Pro-war members of Congress from both parties and liberal hawks in corporate media spent weeks weaponizing this story to accuse Trump of appeasing Putin by leaving Afghanistan and being too scared to punish the Kremlin. Cable outlets and the op-ed pages of The New York Times and Washington Post endlessly discussed the grave implications of this Russian treachery and debated which severe retaliation was needed. “This is as bad as it gets,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Then-candidate Joe Biden said Trump's refusal to punish Russia and his casting doubt on the truth of the story was more proof that Trump's “entire presidency has been a gift to Putin,” while Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) demanded that, in response, the U.S. put Russians and Afghans “in body bags.”

Laboratories in US can’t find Covid-19 in 1500 positive tests

A clinical scientist and immunologist-virologist at a southern California laboratory says he and colleagues from 7 universities are suing the CDC for massive fraud. The reason: not one of 1500 samples of people tested “positive” could find Covid-19. ALL people were simply found to have Influenza A, and to a lesser extent Influenza B. This is consistent with the previous findings of other scientists, which we have reported on several times.

Dr. Derek Knauss: “When my lab team and I subjected the 1500 supposedly positive Covid-19 samples to Koch’s postulates and put them under an SEM (electron microscope), we found NO Covid in all 1500 samples. We found that all 1500 samples were primarily Influenza A, and some Influenza B, but no cases of Covid. We did not use the bulls*** PCR test.’

At 7 universities not once COVID detected

‘When we sent the rest of the samples to Stanford, Cornell, and a couple of the labs at the University of California, they came up with the same result: NO COVID. They found Influenza A and B. Then we all asked the CDC for viable samples of Covid. The CDC said they can’t give them, because they don’t have those samples.’

‘So we came to the hard conclusion through all our research and lab work that Covid-19 was imaginary and fictitious. The flu was only called ‘Covid,’ and most of the 225,000 deaths were from co-morbidities such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, pulmonary emphysema, etc.. They got the flu which further weakened their immune systems, and they died.’

‘This virus is fictitious’

‘I still need to find one viable sample with Covid-19 to work with. We who conducted the lab test with these 1500 samples at the 7 universities are now suing the CDC for Covid-19 fraud. The CDC still has not sent us a viable, isolated and purified sample of Covid-19. If they can’t or won’t, then I say there is no Covid-19. It’s fictional.’

‘The four research papers describing the genome extracts of the Covid-19 virus never managed to isolate and purify the samples. All four papers describe only small pieces of RNA that are only 37 to 40 base pairs long. That is NOT a VIRUS. A viral genome normally has 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs.’

‘Now that Covid-19 is supposedly so bad everywhere, how come not one lab in the world has completely isolated and purified this virus? That’s because they never really found the virus. All they ever discovered were small pieces of RNA that were not identified as the virus anyway. So what we’re dealing with is just another flu strain, just like every year. Covid-19 does not exist and is fictitious.’

‘I believe that China and the globalists have set up this Covid hoax (the flu disguised as a new virus) to establish a global tyranny and totalitarian control police state. This intrigue included (also) massive election fraud to overthrow Trump.’

Australian Navy caught in massive coronavirus vaccine side effects COVER-UP as sailors collapse into “critical condition” following vax jabs

The mainstream media does not want anyone to know that sailors in the Australian Navy have been dropping like flies ever since Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccines became available to them.

Numerous stories detailing the horrific adverse events incurred by members of the Australian military have been completely scrubbed from the web. Some of them have been replaced with highly sanitized propaganda pieces claiming that only “mild side effects” are being observed.

Gregg Hunt, Australia’s Health Minister, who pushed the experimental gene therapy injections on his nation’s military, fell “critically ill” himself just one day after getting jabbed for the Chinese virus. All of this has created major setbacks for the pro-vaccine lobby, which is having an increasingly harder time convincing people to get stabbed.

Fake news outlets like the Daily Mail Online (U.K.) have been pulling stories about deadly vaccine reactions in an attempt to convince people that the jabs are “safe and effective.” The cat is already out of the bag, though.

“Our health minister is still in the hospital from the day after he had his injection!” wrote one trusted contact in Australia to Principia Scientific International. “Not a word about the navy hospitalisations. What a way to take out a country’s military … In just one jab!”

As for Health Minister Hunt, early reports that have since been scrubbed indicated that he developed a “suspected infection” following his injection, requiring that he be “kept overnight for observation.” Hunt is also “being administered antibiotics and fluid” for his adverse reaction.

Why have open borders but shut schools, businesses and restaurants?

Pay attention folks, it’s the shell game. You know, on the streets of New York City, hustlers school people and take their money. There’s a gimmick that nobody knows about, except the huckster. That gimmick is slick enough to fool any human eye. In this parallel example, the CDC plays the hustler, and the shell trick “gimmick” is performed at the border, where Covid-19-infected illegal immigrants travel freely into America – the same place where you live and where your government makes you wear a mask all day, social distance, and vaccinate to “stay alive” due to the threat from … wait for it … Covid-19.

Americans are getting played, schooled, mastered by a rogue government that shuts down schools, businesses and restaurants while keeping wide open borders for the immigrants to spread all that disease around. But we’re “all in this together” to save humanity and the future from the pandemic. Right.

British Columbia: One Dead, Three Neurologically Disabled, ‘Numerous’ Reactions from Vaccine in Tiny Indigenous Village

A doctor asked the British Columbia provincial health officer, ‘Is this normal?’

One patient died, two suffered anaphylactic reactions, three have ongoing disabling dizziness, muscle weakness, and chronic pain, and “numerous” patients developed allergic reactions after they received a first dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine given to 900 mostly Indigenous people, according to a local doctor who works in the tiny Fraser Valley village of Lytton, British Columbia.

“I have been quite alarmed at the high rate of serious side effects from this novel treatment,” family doctor Charles Hoffe wrote in an April 5 letter to British Columbia Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry.

A 72-year-old patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) but no underlying cardiovascular disease complained of being continually more short of breath after receiving a first dose of Moderna’s experimental COVID vaccine, and 24 days after the injection, died “very suddenly and unexpectedly,” the letter said.

Three of Hoffe’s patients have “ongoing and disabling neurological deficits,” including continuing “disabling dizziness,” “neuromuscular weakness, with or without sensory loss” and “chronic pain,” with or without headaches. These ailments persisted for 10 weeks after their shots of the Moderna’s vaccine.

“It must be emphasized, that these people were not sick people, being treated for some devastating disease,” Hoffe wrote. “These were previously healthy people, who were offered an experimental therapy, with unknown long-term side effects, to protect them against an illness that has the same mortality rate as the flu. Sadly, their lives have now been ruined.”

Hoffe said two patients had anaphylactic reactions – life-threatening allergic reactions that can cause swelling of the throat, hives internally and externally, and dangerously low blood pressure – to the Moderna vaccine and “numerous” others have had milder allergic reactions.

Lytton is a village municipality with a population of 249 at last count in 2016, with another 1,700 living in the vicinity and on reserves of the neighboring six Nlaka’pamux communities. Hoffe is one of three doctors who works at the Lytton Medical Clinic and at St. Bartholomew’s Emergency Department.

“Are these considered normal and acceptable long-term side effects for gene modification therapy?” Hoffe asked the provincial health officer.

“Do you have any idea what disease processes may have been initiated, to be producing these ongoing neurological symptoms,” the doctor asked in his letter to the government health officer.

To date, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 2,342 deaths, including 1,170 linked to Moderna’s vaccine. There are 304 reported anaphylactic shock events with Moderna’s vaccine.

A total of 941 permanent disabilities after COVID vaccination have been reported to VAERS, including 450 after Moderna shots.

Reports from VAERS include a 35-year-old Oklahoma man who developed nerve pain in both legs four hours after an injection of the first dose of Moderna vaccine and became progressively paralyzed and was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome five days after the shot.

A 33-year-old woman from Nevada’s report said her breathing became difficult within three hours of receiving a shot of Moderna’s vaccine in January and she experienced paralysis, was hospitalized for five days, and is still unable to use her left arm three months later.

Newsom recall deflates progressive dreams

The Democratic governor faces an unexpected balancing act in his third year in office.

The threat of a recall is likely to overshadow Sacramento policymaking all year, and a fall recall election would come shortly after Newsom signs or vetoes a flurry of bills. His choices could reverberate at the ballot box.

MOSCOW, April 17. /TASS/. Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained two individuals who plotted a military coup in Belarus and an assassination attack on President Alexander Lukashenko, the FSB Public Relations Center said on Saturday.

"In a special operation conducted by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation alongside the State Security Committee of the Republic of Belarus (KGB), the illegal activities of Yuri Leonidovich Zyankovich, a dual citizen of the United States and the Republic of Belarus, and Belarusian citizen Alexander Feduta were prevented, as those had been scheming to stage a military coup in Belarus in accordance with the tried and tested ‘color revolution’ scenario with the involvement of local and Ukrainian nationalists, as well as the physical removal of President Alexander Lukashenko," the FSB said.

According to the FSB, Zyankovich arrived in Moscow after consultations in the United States and Poland to hold meetings with representatives of the Belarusian Armed Forces so as to persuade them to join a military coup involving local and Ukrainian nationalists.

"After the above mentioned meeting had been recorded, the conspirators were apprehended by the Russian security services and handed over to the Belarusian counterparts," the FSB reported pointing out that the coup was scheduled for May 9 during the Victory Day Parade in Minsk.

Spooks with tzizit: Mossad, Shin Bet, cyber haredi agents speak for first time

Pardes is leading the charge to incorporate some of the smartest and most talented ultra-Orthodox men aged 24 to 34 into analyst and cyber units of the security establishment.

The spy world just got a lot wilder in a way that even creative persons might have never imagined.

The Mossad, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and special sensitive cyber units of the police are filling up with haredim.

Since 2019, there has been a smattering of articles about the Pardes, which is leading the charge to incorporate some of the smartest and most talented ultra-Orthodox men aged 24 to 34 into analyst and cyber units of the security establishment.

But recently the Magazine became the first to sit down with four of these new recruits.

Arrangements leading up to the meeting took months, requiring sign-offs from the highest levels of the Mossad, Shin Bet and police in order to allow us to meet face to face with secret agents who, in normal circumstances, would never come anywhere near the media.

With all four individuals who the Magazine met – known as “G” (from the Mossad), “Y” (from the Shin Bet), Yisrael and Yoni (from the police) – only their wives are in the know, with even their parents not having a clue what their real day jobs are.

G: the Mossad’s haredi agent

G describes his attraction to the Mossad as a natural process.

“I grew up in a family connected to the technology and security sector. That was always in the background.”

These simple early sentences were spoken haltingly by someone already in the clandestine world, not used to talking to journalists, but over the course of the meeting, he became more comfortable.

He implied that even as a child he dreamt of either the Mossad or some kind of contribution to the nation’s security apparatuses.

But G said that it was “Pardes which gave the opportunity. A friend saw an advertisement on the Internet. I eventually went through the very long process for getting selected and being endorsed by Pardes.”

Pardes’s founder and Dean of Beit HaMidrash is Rabbi Moshe Kahan , a graduate of the leading Tifrah and Mir yeshivas after years of Talmudic study, but also a lecturer on Arabic and the Koran, and at Ben-Gurion University on Semitic languages.

Pardes enables haredi youth to train in a track that is managed and run within a haredi framework, with the candidates free to continue studying Torah alongside their coursework in an ultra-Orthodox environment.

After passing the obscenely competitive screening process, each went through pre-academic preparatory courses in the fields of computer science, geopolitics and international relations before applying for jobs in the security establishment.

U.S. Instructors Spotted On Donbass Frontlines: Report

The press officer of the People’s Militia of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) Ivan Filiponenko claimed that instructors from the United States had taken part in the training of Ukrainian artillerymen in Eastern Ukraine. The claim was made during the daily briefing on April 17.

According to Filiponenko, the training of Ukrainian forces took place near ​​the village of Pokrovske.

“The trainings of the UAF 40 separate artillery brigade were attended by US instructors stationed at the Yavoriv training range,” Filiponenko said.

The press officer noted that foreign specialists were carried to the spot by white vehicles with the special marks of the Ukrainian representative office in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination. This was made in order to ensure secrecy.

The US forces are reportedly deployed at the Yavoriv training range in Lviv region, Western Ukraine, as part of the Joint Multinational Training Group (JMTG-U).

Filponenko also claimed that a Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopter arrived at the northern LPR front line, admitting that it could deliver foreign instructors who arrived to train the UAF in sabotage and reconnaissance operations and mining works.

On April 17, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal claimed that Ukraine had asked the United States to increase the military presence of its troops on its territory, first of all, this concerned US military instructors.

According to US Charge d’Affaires in Ukraine Christina Kvin, there are 160 American troops in Ukraine on a permanent basis, but if necessary, their number can be increased.

Currently, the foreign instructors in Ukraine are mainly Americans and Canadian military personnel. They are deployed in Ukraine since 2015.

On April 15, WarGonzo reported that 150 Turkish service members had arrived in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol on the coast of the Sea of Azov. Locals reportedly said that they were probably Turkish special forces. Meanwhile, Turkish military is known to train Ukrainian forces to use newly-acquired Bayraktar TB2 combat drones.

It seems that the Ukrainian soldiers are not good students. On April 17, one Bayraktar TB2 combat drone reportedly lost signal over Ukrainian southern regions.

https://english.alarabiya.net/coronavirus/2021/04/17/Australia-records-third-death-likely-linked-to-AstraZeneca-vaccine-shot

The death of a 48-year-old woman in New South Wales was “likely linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine, though the case was “complicated by underlying conditions, Australian health officials said Saturday.

Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt expressed condolences to family of the woman, who was inoculated before the government’s April 8 announcement that the Pfizer vaccine was preferred for people under the age of 50, given concerns about blood clotting linked to the AstraZeneca dose.

Visit our dedicated coronavirus site here for all the latest updates.

“Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe, recommended and effective, Hunt said in a press conference Saturday, adding that they remain under continuous review by the immunizations task force.

The balance of risks still clearly favors vaccinations, as the deceased was “quite an atypical case, and this issue is being further examined, Professor John Skerritt of the Therapeutic Goods Administration said at the conference. The prevalence of complications linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine in Australia is roughly one in 300,000, similar to that seen in the U.K., he said.

The government faces continued criticism over delays in its vaccine rollout strategy, which relies heavily on the AstraZeneca shot. Prime Minister Scott Morrison this week declined to set a new target date for all Australians to receive their first jabs, as a year-end deadline looks out of reach. The latest count shows more than 1.4 million people been vaccinated, and roughly 885,000 AstraZeneca doses have been administered, according to the health minister.

Hunt said there would be a “push in the last quarter of the year to inoculate as many people as possible with the Pfizer vaccination.

On the question of repatriating Australians stranded overseas, Hunt said: “Our goal is very clear, to bring as many Australians home and as early as possible. The reopening of quarantine in the country’s second-largest city, Melbourne, should help the process, he said.

The United Nations human rights committee has requested that the government “facilitate and ensure the prompt return of two nationals stranded in the U.S., according to a report in The Guardian Australia.

Meanwhile, authorities are investigating a possible transmission of the virus among seven recently returned travelers in two separate family groups quarantined in the Adina Hotel in Sydney’s central business district, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Why the Man Behind Billboard Attacking Matt Gaetz May Want to Sit This One Out

In light of the news that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is under investigation from the Department of Justice when it comes to sexual relations with a 17-year old, one PAC has taken out quite the billboard against the congressman. As Jordan Williams with the Hill reported, "'Matt Gaetz wants to date your child' billboard appears in Florida."

Mad Dog PAC, which Williams describes as "liberal" paid for the billboard. It turns out that the chair of that PAC is"Claude Taylor, a former staffer in former President Clinton’s White House."

Of all PACs to take out such an ad, I'm not sure if someone like Claude Taylor ought to be the one to do so and speak up so vocally about it.

Hello, @mattgaetz any thoughts on the billboard? Reporters are trying to reach you for your comments… pic.twitter.com/gFqhQwX6Qt

— Claude Taylor (@TrueFactsStated) April 8, 2021

In case you need a refresher, President Bill Clinton faced allegations of sexual misconduct, including rape. He's also infamous for sexual misconduct with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, which occurred in the Oval Office, while he was president, and was impeached on accusations for perjury and obstruction of justice when it came to the affair.

When it comes to the former president, Rep. Gaetz wrote in his op-ed, "Rep. Matt Gaetz: The swamp is out to drown me with false charges, but I'm not giving up," published by the Washington Examiner on April 5: "Nancy Pelosi once defended President Bill Clinton after he got an intern to fellate him in the Oval Office. But when it comes to the allegation that I, a grown man, paid for an adult girlfriend’s expenses? Well, consider that a bridge too far for the power-hungry hypocrites."

President Clinton has also been associated with convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, though a spokesperson for the former president has consistently denied the claim he visited Epstein's private island. He is known for and acknowledged flying on Epstein's jet, however, to other locations.

Those claims to do with Clinton's involvement come from Epstein accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

New book threatens to spill ACP secrets and scandals

re the secrets and scandals of the halls of 54 Park Street – the headquarters of Kerry Packer’s prized Australian Consolidated Press magazine empire – soon to be laid bare in a tell-all book?

Former staff members seem to think so.

Members of ACP Alumni, a private Facebook group that boasts more than 2000 ex-staffers sharing humdrum anecdotes from the glory days of magazines, were outraged when rumours began circulating that a former colleague-turned-book publisher had infiltrated their ranks to obtain stories for an upcoming book.

Threats of legal action quickly ensued, as ACP stalwarts panicked that their juicy posts of long lunches and frivolous spending could make it into print.

Their panic is somewhat ironic, considering many worked for titles such as Woman’s Day, Australian Women’s Weekly, and NW in their heyday and would have sold their right arm for a good story. Yet it seems their own memories aren’t to be shared with the public.

Former TV Week editor Emma Nolan is now a non-fiction publisher at Simon & Schuster. A spokesperson for the publishing house confirmed a book about mag land is in the works. “Simon & Schuster is publishing a business biography about the key players and economics of the wider magazine industry,” the spokesperson said.

But fear not ACP Alumni members: “This is not a book about the ACP Facebook group and we won’t use any posted content from its members.”

Over the years plenty of gossip has emanated from Park Street, like the time a master safecracker broke into Kerry Packer’s office in 1995 and made off with gold bullion weighing 285kg. Then there was Anna Nicole Smith’s whirlwind tour of Sydney a decade later that saw ACP media executive Cameron Hoy resign after brushing lips with the former Playmate.

There certainly is a marketable book in there somewhere.

International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has been convicted over her role in a controversial €400m (£355m) payment to a businessman.

French judges found Ms Lagarde guilty of negligence for failing to challenge the state arbitration payout to the friend of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The 60-year-old, following a week-long trial in Paris, was not given any sentence and will not be punished.

'An earthquake in French politics': CNN reporter on Sarkozy sentence

Paris (CNN)A French court on Monday sentenced former President Nicolas Sarkozy to three years in prison for corruption and influence peddling, but suspended two years of the sentence.

President from 2007 to 2012, he was found guilty of trying to illegally obtain information from a senior magistrate in 2014 about an ongoing investigation into his campaign finances.

The judge said Sarkozy did not need to serve time in jail. He could serve the sentence by wearing an electronic bracelet at home.

The 66-year-old is the first president to have been sentenced to jail in France's modern history.

Psaki Dodges Questions On Biden "Weakness" Over Initiating Putin Summit

On Friday White House press secretary Jen Psaki was pressed on why President Biden appeared to initiate a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, yet without setting conditions, which is widely being viewed as a "weakness". This is also given as we and many others have pointed out that it effectively cuts out Kiev, leaving Ukraine's fate to be considered by the two superpowers at the table. For Putin, it appears that "saber-rattling" over Ukraine in the form of the troop build-up in Crimea and along the border has forced Biden's hand, effectively making Washington have to deal directly with Putin, precisely what the Kremlin has wanted all along.

She was asked at the daily briefing by a reporter: "Why would you announce a summit intention without a commitment? … A high-level meeting of this sort is often a point of leverage with the world leader… why aren’t there conditions?" Psaki fumbled through a response while avoiding the question head-on…

Bush Calls for 'Gradual' Path to Eventual Citizenship for Illegal Migrants Amid Influx at Border

In mid-March remarks on domestic policy, Bush already expressed his opinion that the US should find a way to legalize those illegal migrants who "have played by the rules." The ex-president claimed amid the current migrant influx that trying to return all of them back home would be a "political pipe dream."

Former President George W. Bush called for a "gradual" path to legal status and potentially citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants on Friday in his op-ed for The Washington Post, while also arguing that "amnesty" would be "fundamentally unfair."

In his opinion article, Bush previewed his own new book that he said would contain "principles for reform that can restore the people’s confidence in an immigration system that serves both our values and our interests," while his 2007 presidential bid for immigration reform was met with fierce opposition from his own party.

"The help and respect historically accorded to new arrivals is one reason so many people still aspire and wait to become Americans. So how is it that in a country more generous to new arrivals than any other, immigration policy is the source of so much rancor and ill will?" he wondered.

Bush lays out a series of options, starting with granting permanent legal status to undocumented immigrants who entered the country as children and were covered under Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy.

"One place to start is DACA. Americans who favor a path to citizenship for those brought here as children, known as "dreamers," are not advocating open borders," Bush wrote. "They just recognize that young men and women who grew up in the United States, and who never knew any other place as home, are fundamentally American. And they ought not be punished for choices made by their parents."

In terms of border protection, he alluded to the current situation on the southern border without actually speaking about it directly. "We need a secure and efficient border, and we should apply all the necessary resources — manpower, physical barriers, advanced technology, streamlined and efficient ports of entry, and a robust legal immigration system," he said.

"A grant of amnesty would be fundamentally unfair to those who came legally or are still waiting their turn to become citizens," Bush wrote about illegal immigrants already residing in the country.

He went on to note that anyone in the country illegally should be "brought out of the shadows through a gradual process in which legal residency and citizenship must be earned, as for anyone else applying for the privilege."

"Requirements should include proof of work history, payment of a fine and back taxes, English proficiency and knowledge of US history and civics, and a clean background check," he added.

Hong Kong’s Fall a Harbinger of Communist China’s Takeover of Free World: Epoch Times Hong Kong Director

The suppressive climate in Hong Kong cultivated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—under which attackers can rampage the printing press of one of the city’s independent newspapers with impunity—is what Beijing hopes to foist on the West, according to the Guo Jun, director of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times.

Once hailed for its democratic freedoms, Hong Kong has seen a steady rollback of its autonomy since it reverted from British to Chinese rule in 1997. Over the past year, Beijing imposed sweeping laws to criminalize vaguely defined acts of secession, subversion, and foreign collusion, while instituting electoral reforms declaring that only patriots could rule the territory.

Since then, authorities have prosecuted dozens under the new security law or other charges, including most recently media mogul Jimmy Lai, publisher of local outlet Apple Daily and a fierce critic of the Chinese regime.

“Hong Kong is the perfect example of how the CCP turned a free society into one where people fear speaking freely,” Guo said in a recent interview on The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders.

“Today, even the Oscars can’t be aired in Hong Kong because movies have to be reviewed by the Chinese regime before they can be played in Hong Kong theaters. The Chinese regime, step by step, turned Hong Kong into this,” she said, adding that she has observed the same phenomenon happening in the West.

“Hollywood, some big tech companies, Wall Street, they need to do business with China, so they toe the Chinese Communist Party line when it comes to topics that the Chinese Communist Party does not like,” she said.

“Imperceptibly, things change around you and you realize the world is different,” she said.

“People don’t dare to say what they really feel because they fear being attacked or discriminated against.”

Some may find it hard to conceive that this could be happening in a free society, Guo said.

“But who’s behind all of this, controlling all of this? Who’s using financial incentives and China’s market as bargaining chips to change the entire world?” she said.

“We know it’s the Chinese Communist Party and it’s honed its skills in Hong Kong.”

Woke Coca-Cola Was Invented By Slave Owning Confederate Colonel Who Was Addicted To Morphine

Coca-Cola was created by a slave owning Confederate soldier who became addicted to morphine.

Despite recently providing instructional material to its employees that taught them to “be less white,” the Coca-Cola company is seemingly running away from its own history and creator: slave owning Confederate Army colonel and morphine addicted John Pemberton.

Over a century before the company would become derided for purchasing an anti-white curriculum for its employees, Coca-Cola was invented by Pemberton, who – having sustained a devastating sabre wound while fighting for the Confederacy during the Civil War – was addicted to morphine, and hoped the carbonated beverage would cure his addiction.

Prior to the Civil War, Pemberton married Anna Eliza Clifford Lewis, the daughter of a prominent Georgia planation owner. In 1854, Pemberton and his wife gave birth two a child, prompting her father to sell the young couple two slaves to assist with the raising of the child. Pemberton was also noted as owning a 20-year-old female slave in the 1860 Slave Schedule, suggesting he may have owned more than the two sold to him by his father-in-law.

Pemberton, and aspiring pharmacist and drug inventor, believed Coca-Cola could help him overcome his addiction to morphine, something he became dependent on after sustaining a saber injury during the Battle of Columbus, Georgia, during the Civil War.

According to the 2004 book, The Pursuit of Oblivion, Pemberton “was shot, slashed with a sabre, and scarred for life by the Yankees.” He later went bankrupt, and suffering from arthritis and “recurrent stomach pains,” Pemberton “became reliant on morphine” and came to “believe the claims of American medicine-makers that their coca products could be used to wean people from morphine addiction.”

By 1884, Pemberton began selling concotions of wine, coca leaves, and kola nuts. When prohibition came to Atlanta soon after, he instead sold a carbonated beverage made with coca leaves and kola nuts, calling his creation Coca-Cola.

Pemberton, however, struggled to market his creation and ultimately saw little profits during his lifetime. Following his death, the company ultimately became successful, eventually morphing into the corporate giant that provides materials to its employees which instructed them to “be less white.”

Ironically, LinkedIn sold the be less white curriculum to Coca-Cola and other major companies without knowledge of the person whose lectures were stolen to create the materials. LinkedIn ultimately made them unavailable after the media raised attention to the course, and National File tracked the materials’ creation to a Koch-funded company called Big Think, which specializes in tearing down Christianity and traditional American values in favor of the style of free market libertarianism favored by the Koch empire.

>>44723 2 days ahead of schedule

By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Thursday, April 15, 2021

FBI investigating Antifa for violent attacks, Director Wray says

The FBI is investigating far-left Antifa radicals linked to violent attacks around the country, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray told Congress on Thursday.

Mr. Wray was asked his views on whether Antifa, a leftist radical group that has triggered violent attacks in several U.S. cities, is an organized group.

“We consider Antifa to be more of a movement,” Mr. Wray said during an appearance before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “There are certainly local and regional nodes, individuals who self-identify with Antifa who commit violent attacks, citing that as their motivation. And we have a number of predicated investigations into such individuals.”

Antifa, he added “is a real thing. It is not a fiction.”

Mr. Wray‘s remarks appeared to step back from earlier comments suggesting the group was less of a threat. Last year, Mr. Wray testified that Antifa was viewed by the FBI as more an “ideology than an organization.”

“We take anarchist, violent extremism, much of which associates with the Antifa movement extremely seriously,” Mr. Wray said later in the hearing, adding that “it is something we investigate very aggressively.”

The number of investigations into Antifa violence “dramatically increased” over the past three years, Mr. Wray said, without elaborating.

“Last year we had more arrests in the anarchist/extremist space than in the past three years combined,” he said.

The lack of organization and structure of the group “does not mean that they are any less dangerous, or less threatening,” he said.

Antifa radicals have been spotted at protests in Minnesota over the recent apparent accidental shooting death of Daunte Wright by now-resigned police officer Kimberly Potter.

The shadowy Antifa radicals often are dressed in black hoodies and backpacks and in some cases helmets. They often carry shields that have been used in often violent protests.

Many of the Antifa protests took place last summer following the death of George Floyd in police custody, when Minneapolis was set ablaze by rioters.

Antifa radicals espouse anti-capitalist, anti-fascist and anti-state views while adhering to a number of left-wing and communist ideologies. The group was especially active in opposing the Trump administration. Antifa radicals also used violent protests to oppose conservative speakers on college campuses and elsewhere.

Military Bases Housing Migrant Children Plagued by Serial Sexual Abuse Claims

The Biden administration is now housing unaccompanied migrant children on military bases in Texas and California. Some of these bases have been plagued for years by record sexual abuse claims, one with the highest in the nation. All of them suffer from dangerous environmental contamination.

Over the first few months of 2021, the migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border has exploded. Due to the policies of the Obama, Trump and now Biden administrations, many of those migrants, particularly unaccompanied minors, remain housed in increasingly controversial “overflow facilities.”

Despite promises to reverse the policy, the Biden administration instead has taken the unprecedented step of now housing thousands of these unaccompanied minors on US military bases, a jolting move that hardly generated any attention from either the mainstream or independent media. This is true even for left-leaning outlets that spent much of the Trump era railing against and calling for the closure of these detention facilities as well as the increasing militarization of the US-Mexico border. The only exceptions have been those few outlets that covered the dangerous environmental contamination present at some of the bases now involved.

Currently, unaccompanied minors are being housed at two military bases in Texas and one in California. While there was media coverage of the decision to house children and teens at these bases, there was little journalistic interest in looking deeper into the issues of these particular bases, some of which are known for extremely unsanitary conditions or for allowing “serial rapists” to serve on base for years despite numerous reports about their crimes to base leadership. One of these bases has the highest rate of sexual assaults out of any joint base in the entire Department of Defense.

Not only that, but the US military’s computer network has consistently ranked among the top internet service providers for the trafficking of child pornography, further underscoring why military bases, particularly these military bases, are unsuitable for children.

Also concerning is the fact that US officials refuse to say how many children are being sent to these bases. HHS currently has more than 13,000 kids in their custody. That number is only projected to grow, with Customs and Border Protection now projecting that 184,000 unaccompanied minors could end up in government custody by this time next year.

In addition, these bases have not yet released photos of where the minors are kept and have even banned soldiers on these bases from photographing the areas where the children are being held. The tents they are housed in are said to be able to house 1,000 people each, implying that each base has received thousands of migrant children in recent weeks.

In recent years, prior to the current spike in the severity of the border crisis, thousands of migrant children that were placed into this system of “overflow facilities” and detention centers have been “lost” by the government and some have reported acts of physical and sexual abuse inside these facilities. These children’s reunification with their families can take months or years and, for many, it doesn’t happen at all. Now, with the opening up of these specific military bases to these unaccompanied children, it seems clear that these new, military-run enclosures are likely to be even more unsafe and are hardly a solution to the current situation on the US’ Southern border.

A School for Spooks: The London University Department Churning Out NATO Spies

LONDON — Last week, MintPress exposed how the supposedly independent investigative collective Bellingcat is, in fact, funded by a CIA cutout organization and filled with former spies and state intelligence operatives. However, one part of the story that has remained untold until now is Bellingcat’s close ties to the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, an institution with deep links to the British security state and one that trains a large number of British, American and European agents and defense analysts.

A school for spooks

A prestigious university located in the heart of London, King’s College has, in its own words, “a number of contracts and agreements with various departments within government, including the Cabinet Office, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Ministry of Defence.” Some of those contracts are up to 10 years long. The university has so far refused to elaborate on the agreements, telling investigative news outlet Declassified UK that doing so could undermine U.K. security services.

A 2009 study published by the CIA spoke approvingly of how beneficial it can be to “use universities as a means of intelligence training,” noting that, “exposure to an academic environment, such as the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, can add several elements that may be harder to provide within the government system.” The paper, written by two King’s College staffers, is essentially a request to the agency to send more of its recruits there, and boasts about how the department’s staff have “extensive and well-rounded intelligence experience” and how their programs “offer a containing space in which analysts from every part of the community can explore with each other the interplay of ideas about their profession.”

In 2013, former CIA Director Leon Panetta took time out of his schedule as then-secretary of defense to visit the Department of War Studies, where he expressed his profound gratitude to the unit. “I deeply appreciate the work that you do to train and to educate our future national security leaders, many of whom are in this audience,” he said, before adding that it was those young leaders who must ensure that NATO had the creativity, innovation and the commitment to develop and share capabilities in order to meet future security threats, citing the need to expand into tech, surveillance and cyberwarfare.

These technical solutions, we now know, have largely entailed NATO indirectly taking control of social media. In 2018, Facebook announced that NATO’s cutout organization, the Atlantic Council, was becoming its “eyes and ears,” giving it significant control over curating its news feed, supposedly in an attempt to limit disinformation. Yet many of the most lurid stories around RussiaGate were started by the Council itself, which pumped out report after report accusing virtually every political movement in Europe outside the establishment beltway as being the “Kremlin’s Trojan Horses.”

King’s College staff have also been crucial in propagating the idea of Russian interference in American politics, with Professor Thomas Rid testifying before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on the “dark art” of Russian meddling, and condemning WikiLeaks and alternative media journalists as unwitting agents of disinformation. Rid previously described 2016 as the “biggest election hack in U.S. history.”

Earlier this year, Facebook also hired former NATO press officer and Atlantic Council Senior Fellow Ben Nimmo as head of its intelligence team. Meanwhile Reddit appointed former Atlantic Council Deputy Director of Middle Eastern Strategy Jessica Ashooh as its head of policy. And Eliot Higgins, of course, was a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council as well. In recent years, social media giants like Facebook and Google have radically altered their algorithms, demoting content from adversarial nations, but also attacking alternative media that challenge the power of NATO and the national security state.

Today, the Department of War Studies hosted an online seminar with two senior NATO officials who discussed what they saw as Russia and China’s increasingly aggressive actions, as well as new ways in which NATO can secure its control over the internet.

Tiny Cripple Creek-Victor school stunned by shockingly high utility bill resulting from Texas freeze Normally $6,500 bill jumps to $45,000

The bill was apparently related to the deep freeze that hit Texas over President's Day weekend, which triggered large jumps in the price of natural gas.

They told her it was due to the big February storm. Prices increased drastically," she said.

Bruntz said the price structure was part of a contract signed before she or the previous budget manager were hired at the district.

Denver7 has been reporting on the impact of the Texas freeze on Colorado customers.

Monica Plimack's normal $30 home gas bill for her condo in North Capitol Hill was more than $725.

And Foothills Animal Shelter's March tab was $21,000 — seven times higher than usual.

Bruntz said the Cripple Creek-Victor gas bill was seven times higher, too.

"How can a small district with just over 300 kids afford a bill like that? That's three quarters of my utilities budget," she said.

Residents in the small mountain town worry the oversized utility bill will impact learning in the classroom.

"It's nuts," Shannon Owen said. "There's no nice way to put that. It's crazy."

Bruntz said that she's going to have to move budget items.

"That's a salary and benefits for somebody," she said.

State regulators are investigating. Gov. Jared Polis said some utilities have failed to take common sense measures.

Bruntz said the utility has indicated it will work with the school district, but she added that at a time when they're still trying to find people to work and deal with the learning losses from the pandemic, shifting resources will make that much more difficult.

'Consensual incest' should be decriminalized, advocates say

Consensual incest advocates are rooting for an anonymous New York parent who wants to marry their own adult child.

Australian Richard Morris, who is pushing to change incest laws in about 60 countries, said he supports the legal push in Manhattan Federal Court and that such behavior between consenting adults “should not be criminalized.”

He and other advocates have launched about 130 petitions, mostly on change.org, seeking to change incest laws around the world. Most have received little support.

“We haven’t moved any mountains yet,” he told The Post.

Morris was inspired to fight for those in consenting incestual relationships, he said, after learning about a Scottish case in which a long-separated father and daughter were reunited, started an affair and were then criminally convicted.

Fighting for true “marriage equality” is “the right thing to do, isn’t it?” Morris said.

“It seems to be as unjust as the law that used to imprison gay people, and the law that used to stop people of different races marrying,” he added.

Keith Pullman, who runs the blog Full Marriage Equality, also cheered on the New York lawsuit.

Adam Kinzinger Calls for Anyone Who Supports “America First” Caucus to Be Removed from Committee Assignments

Why is it that Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger live for tweaking Trump supporters?

Why do they believe that they have any support?

Earlier this week popular Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar announced the launch of the “America First Caucus” to support American greatness. The media immediately flipped out when they saw the words “defending Anglo-Saxon” in their literature. They say it’s racist, of course.

It only took a few hours for RINO favorite Adam Kinzinger to weigh in on the idea.

Kinzinger wants anyone who supports this idea to be removed from their committee assignments.

Who the hell is this guy?

The Hill reported:

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) blasted fellow GOP lawmakers who plan to join the “America First Caucus,” saying anyone who becomes a member should lose their committee assignments.

Kinzinger, a vocal critic of former President Trump, tore into the caucus after it was reported that GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) would lead formation of the group.

The caucus calls for promoting “Anglo-Saxon political traditions,” and several House Republicans came out Friday to criticize the group and its policy platform.

“I believe anyone that joins this caucus should have their committees stripped, and the Republican conference should expel them from conference participation,” Kinzinger tweeted.

“While we can’t prevent someone from calling themselves Republican, we can loudly say they don’t belong to us,” he added.
