Adams Township clerk accused of mishandling voting equipment recalled

Partial:

A Hillsdale County township clerk whom state officials accused of improperly handling voting equipment after casting doubt on President Biden’s election victory in 2020 was recalled Tuesday in one of Michigan’s most conservative counties.

Stephanie Scott ran unopposed as a Republican first-time candidate when elected in the same November 2020 election to handle the voting in Adams Township, where about 2,200 people live along rural roads dotted with signs supporting Donald Trump.

Treasury Keeps Quarterly Debt Sales Unchanged Ahead Of Second Half Surge, Stuns Market With Launch Of Treasury Buybacks

The Treasury has published details of its quarterly refunding and subsequent Treasury auctions, and as previewed earlier, it kept sales of longer-term debt steady for the third straight time, in line with dealers’ forecasts, while unexpectedly announcing a new program to buyback older securities, starting sometime in 2024. According to some, a buyback program is not that different from QE as it injects liquidity into the system at regular intervals.

Subject to the ongoing limitations of the debt ceiling, the Treasury kept new issuance unchanged; It announced it would offer $96 billion of Treasury securities to refund approximately $75.2 billion in notes maturing on May 15, 2023. This issuance will raise new cash from private investors of approximately $20.8 billion. The securities are:

*A 3-year note in the amount of $40 billion, issued on May 9 and maturing May 15, 2026;

*A 10-year note in the amount of $35 billion, issued on May 10 and maturing May 15, 2033; and

*A 30-year bond in the amount of $21 billion, issued on May 11 and maturing May 15, 2053.

The balance of Treasury financing requirements over the quarter will be met with regular weekly bill auctions, cash management bills (CMBs), and monthly note, bond, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), and 2-year Floating Rate Note (FRN) auctions. The Treasury said it believes that current issuance sizes leave it well-positioned for its near-term borrowing needs, and so intends to keep nominal coupon and FRN new issue and reopening auction sizes unchanged during the May 2023 – July 2023 quarter, which are shown in the table below-Cap#2

Yet with tax receipts far below expectations (which will lead to an earlier debt ceiling X-date) and the budget deficit widening as the Fed shrinks its holdings of Treasuries, US debt managers widely anticipated a surge in issuance of longer-term securities later in the year, something which the Treasury's latest debt borrowing estimates strongly hinted at, by anticipating $1.45 trillion in borrowing needs for the April-September period. The Treasury Department said Wednesday that may happen as soon as August — an earlier timeframe than many dealers thought, to wit: "based on projected intermediate- to long-term borrowing needs, Treasury may need to modestly increase auction sizes later this year, potentially as soon as the August 2023 refunding announcement."

Sales plans for Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, were also kept unchanged compared with sizes over the prior quarter. But the Treasury added that it will “continue to monitor TIPS market conditions and consider whether modest increases would be appropriate in future quarters.” The Treasury also addressed the elephant in the room, namely the looming debt ceiling crisis, noting that as Yellen outlined in her recent letter to Congress, "our best estimate is that we will be unable to continue to satisfy all of the government’s obligations by early June, and potentially as early as June 1, if Congress does not raise or suspend the debt limit before that time." In keeping with the spirit of newfound spirit of fearmongering, the Treasury said that while "It is impossible to predict with certainty the exact date when Treasury will be unable to pay the government’s bills, and Treasury will continue to update Congress in the coming weeks as more information becomes available" given the current (very loose) projections, "it is imperative that Congress act as soon as possible to increase or suspend the debt limit in a way that provides longer-term certainty that the government will continue to make its payments."

Bottom line: "Until the debt limit is suspended or increased, debt limit-related constraints will lead to greater-than-normal variability in benchmark bill issuance and significant usage of CMBs." As a reminder, a high-stakes summit is now planned for May 9 between Joe Biden and top congressional leaders on the debt limit.

“I Vote for Aid for Ukraine, I Support Aid for Ukraine” – Kevin McCarthy Folds – Will Fund Ukraine-NATO War on Russia

May. 3, 2023

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/i-vote-for-aid-for-ukraine-i-support-aid-for-ukraine-kevin-mccarthy-folds-will-fund-ukraine-nato-war-on-russia/

Kevin McCarthy gave his full support to funding the Ukraine War during his trip to Israel.

Bloomberg:

Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave his most full-throated support for aiding Ukraine in its war against the Russian invasion, in a heated exchange with a Russian news agency reporter in Jerusalem.

McCarthy has in the past called for further scrutiny of aid to Ukraine, responding in part to far-right members of the GOP who have been critical of US aiding Kyiv. Former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner to be the Republican nominee again in 2024, has also made critical comments about the US effort to defend Ukraine.

The speaker, on a trip to Israel was asked by a reporter from a Russian news agency if the US will curtail aid to Ukraine.

“I vote for aid for Ukraine, I support aid for Ukraine,” McCarthy said. “I do not support what your country has done to Ukraine, I do not support your killing of the children either.”

“You should pull out and I don’t think it’s right,” the speaker said. “We will continue to support. And I think the rest of the world sees it just as it is.”

Jim Cramer’s top 10 things to watch in the stock market Wednesday

My top 10 things to watch Wednesday, May 3

1. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise interest rates by another 25 basis points Wednesday following a two-day meeting. But will it pause rate hikes going forward?

2. West Texas Intermediate

(WTI) crude oil is trading below $70 a barrel, with oil shorts pressing the bet it will go to BP

’s disastrous $60 target. WTI was $105 a barrel at this time last year, and was up at $87 just a few weeks ago.

3. Club holding Starbucks

(SBUX) delivered impressive fiscal second-quarter results Tuesday, though investors seem focused on the coffee maker’s decision not to raise its guidance. Wall Street analysts had a mixed reaction. JPMorgan lowered its price target on SBUX to $113 a share, from $114, while Barclays raised its target to $127 a share, from $123.

4. Club holding Advanced Micro Devices

(AMD) provided an outlook below market expectations, even as it delivered an earnings beat Tuesday. We’ll be looking to buy up more shares on the probable dip.

5. Ford Motor

(F), another Club holding, showed us it righted the ship in the first quarter, with progress on the electric-vehicle front being aggressive and even. The stock, at around $12 a share, is also incredibly cheap.

6. Barclays lowered its price target on Pfizer

(PFE) to $40 a share, from $43, while maintaining an equal weight rating on the stock. The bank sees a “challenging setup” for the pharmaceuticals firm in the summer months.

7. Club holding Eli Lilly

’s (LLY) donanemab drug slowed cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients by 35% in a late-stage trial, the company said Wednesday. The news sent LLY shares up more than 5% in premarket trading.

8. Uber Technologies

(UBER) received a slate of price-target increases Wednesday, including from Morgan Stanley. The bank raised its target to $57 a share, from $54, while maintaining an overweight rating on the stock.

9. Club name Emerson Electric

(EMR) delivered better-than-expected quarterly results Wednesday, while raising its full-year guidance for fiscal 2023.

10. Club holding Estee Lauder

(EL) on Wednesday lowered its outlook for fiscal year 2023, citing headwinds from travel retail in Asia. “As the shape of recovery from the pandemic for Asia travel retail comes into better focus, it is proving to be both far more volatile than we expected and more gradual relative to what we experienced in other regions,” CEO Fabrizio Freda said.

Almost half of British Commonwealth wants to ditch monarchy – poll

A survey has indicated that Canada and Australia would vote to become republics if referendums were held

Almost half of the overseas countries in which King Charles III is head of state would vote to become republics if given the opportunity, a new poll has found.

The survey conducted by former Conservative Party deputy chairman Michael Ashcroft suggests thatsix of the 14 overseas countries within Britain’s Commonwealth realm– including Canada and Australia – would prefer to ditch the monarchy.

Among Australian respondents, 42% were in favor of becoming a republic, with 35% opposing the idea. Canada saw a greater disparity, according to Ashcroft’s data, with 47% pushing to be a republic and just 23% objecting.

The Bahamas, Jamaica, the Solomon Islands, and Antigua and Barbuda would alsovote to remove King Charles as head of state, the poll suggests.

The reasoning for the results appears varied. Some respondents in Caribbean countries cited past colonialism as the motivation for their answers, while elsewhere people said that they believed becoming a republic would bring tangible benefits. Canada was among four countries in which polling supported the view that the monarchy is a “racist and colonialist institution and we should have nothing to do with it.”

An Australian respondent told the survey: “Britain is just like a distant memory. If anything, we’re just following in the footsteps of whatever the US is doing.” A Canadian citizen argued that the monarchy is “no longer real to the modern day.”

A separate poll conducted by Ashcroft ahead of Saturday’s coronation of King Charles found that support for the monarchy in Britain remains high, but this appears to be in stark contrast to the sentiment beyond the UK’s borders.

Of the other countries within the king’s realm, almost all of them had only marginal support for the monarchy. These include New Zealand, Belize, and Papua New Guinea. Only two of the 14 countries surveyed – Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Tuvalu – said that they would overwhelmingly vote to remain British crown subjects.

(That’s why the ministers requested a vow of fealty to the King, which has not happened in recent history if at all. It’s habbening!)

Fire at Crimean Bridge oil depot – governor

The blaze came just days after Ukrainian forces used drones to strike a fuel terminal in Sevastopol

A fire broke out overnight at an oil storage facility in Russia’s Krasnodar Region, the local governor Veniamin Kondratyev announced on Wednesday morning.

The fuel depot is located in the village of Volna, 10 km north of the port city of Taman and close to the east end of the strategic Crimean Bridge.

No injuries have been reported, and local residents are not in danger, the official stated, adding that firefighters were focusing their efforts on preventing the spread of the fire.

Last Saturday a Ukrainian drone strike set an oil terminal on fire in Sevastopol, in the Crimean Peninsula. The Ukrainian military the operation was meant to disrupt the logistics of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which is based in the city, ahead of a promised Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Russia’s TASS news agency cited a source in the Krasnodar emergency services as saying the facility in Volna was also hit by a drone.

Taman serves as a major ferry connection with Crimea and is the closest large settlement to the eastern part of the Crimean Bridge, which links the peninsula and the Krasnodar Region. Senior Ukrainian officials have pledged to destroy the strategically important structure.

Last year, a powerful bomb carried by a truck damaged the car portion of the bridge and killed three civilians, including the driver. Moscow accused Ukrainian military intelligence of masterminding what it called a terrorist attack.

(McFaul said this yesterday: Speaking to Bloomberg’s ‘Balance of Power’ show, McCaul ventured a guess as to where the fighting might happen.“My prediction is they will try to go down and hit the land bridge in Crimea and have a very dramatic bold strategythat then would push back Russian aggression,” he said, adding that afterward Kiev could possibly “call for a ceasefire, after which we can then maybe have negotiations, to finally resolve this.” I’m sure the Russians are taking this into consideration)

Key US ally reduces role of dollar in trade

South Korea and Indonesia are planning to switch to national currencies

The central banks of South Korea and Indonesia have signed a memorandum of understanding to promote bilateral trade in national currencies, moving away from the US dollar as an intermediary.

The step is expected to help South Korean and Indonesian corporations to lower transaction costs and exposure to exchange rate risks, the central banks of the two nations said in a joint statement.

The Bank of Indonesia and the Bank of Korea highlighted that they would continue to strengthen collaboration through information-sharing and regular discussions, as the two nations seek to boost financial ties.

The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the 26th ASEAN+3 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting that kicked off in the South Korean city of Incheon on May 2.

The ASEAN+3 group consists of the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which are joined by China, Japan, and South Korea.

Attempts to shift away from the greenback in international trade have been gaining momentum among major economic blocs such as ASEAN and the BRICS group, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

The step comes against the backdrop of sweeping sanctions introduced by Western nations against Russia, a major global energy producer and exporter.

The head of the Indonesian central bank, Perry Warjiyo, said last month that his nation was implementing a shift away from the dollar with countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, China, and Japan. In March, Brazil and China signed an agreement to trade in their own currencies, dropping the greenback as an intermediary.

Top Russian MP calls for use of weapons ‘capable of destroying Kiev regime’

State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin has branded Ukraine a terrorist state after a failed drone attack on the Kremlin

Senior Russian lawmaker Vyacheslav Volodin has called on Moscow touse any weapons necessary to remove the “Nazi regime” in Kiev. The comments followed a failed Ukrainian drone attack on the Kremlin that allegedly targeted President Vladimir Putin in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

“The terrorist act against the president is an attack on Russia,” Volodin, who serves as State Duma chairman, said in a Telegram post.

“[Vladimir] Zelensky, who gave orders to carry out terrorist attacks, now stands on a par with other international terrorists,” he added, referring to the Ukrainian president. Volodin claimed that the government in Kiev is as dangerous as groups such as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).

He further alleged that Ukraine’s “criminal methods” have become evident to the entire world, accusing it oftactics including nuclear blackmail, the assassination of public and political figures, the sabotage of civilian infrastructure, and attempts on Putin’s life.

“The Kiev terrorist regime, having seized an entire state, threatens the security of Russia, Europe, and the whole world,” the Duma official added. He insisted thatWestern nationswhich are pumping Zelensky’s government with weaponsare now “direct accomplices” to terrorist activities.

Volodin proclaimed that there “can beno negotiations with the Zelensky regime”following the attempted attack on the Kremlin, and vowed that Russian lawmakers will “demand the use of weapons capable of stopping and destroying the Kiev terrorist regime.”

The message comes after Ukraine allegedly launched two drone attacks intended to strike Putin’s Kremlin residence, as reported by the Russian president’s office on Wednesday. The aircraft were downed using electronic warfare measures and did not cause any casualties or damage. Putin was unharmed and was not present in the Kremlin at the time of the incident.

“We consider this a preplanned terrorist action and an attempt against the Russian president,”a message from the Kremlin read. It noted that the incident happened “ahead of Victory Day and the parade on May 9, when foreign guests plan to be present.”

Russia reserves the right to retaliate in a manner, place, and time of its choosing, the statement added.

Iran seizes another oil tanker (VIDEO)

Tehran’s forces have taken hold of two such vessels since the US blocked a shipment of Iranian oil last week

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy used fast-attack boats to seize an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, according to the US Navy, which released a video of the incident. Tehran confirmed the seizure, the second such retaliatory incident since the US reportedly blocked a consignment of Iranian crude oil last week.

The Niovi, a Panama-flagged tanker managed by Greece-based Smart Tankers, was swarmed by a dozen IRGC attack boats as it transited the strait, the US Navy said in a statement. Video footage released by the Navy showed the boats escorting the tanker, apparently after ordering it to redirect.

The ship had left Dubai at midday on Tuesday and was due to arrive at the Emirati port of Fujairah by Wednesday afternoon, but was turned around and diverted to Iranian waters.

Officials in Tehran told the Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news agency that the Niovi wasimpounded following an unspecified legal complaint by a plaintiff.

The incident came after the Advantage Sweet was stormed by Iranian commandos in the Gulf of Oman last Thursday. The Marshall Islands-flagged vessel is owned by a Chinese firm, but had been chartered to transport a cargo of oil to the US for American petroleum giant Chevron.

Dramatic video footage released by Tehran showed the commandos rappelling from helicopters onto the ship’s deck, before moving toward its bridge.

The US navy described both seizures as “contrary to international law and disruptive to regional security and stability.” However, American officials did not mention the fact that immediately prior to Thursday’s seizure, US authorities impounded a shipment of Iranian oil bound for China. Quoting anonymous officials, the Financial Times reported that the ship was redirected toward the US in an apparent sanctions enforcement operation.

The US and its allies often block the transport of Iranian oil at sea, and Tehran usually responds in kind. Iranian forces seized two Greek-flagged vessels in the Strait of Hormuz last year after Greece allowed the US to drain an Iranian tanker of oil in Greek waters. Back in 2019, Iran impounded two British-flagged tankers after the UK seized an Iranian tanker in Gibraltar.

Former FBI supervisory agent arrested on Jan. 6 Capitol riot charges

Wise spent about nine minutes in the Capitol building on Jan. 6, the affidavit states.

Aformer FBI supervisory agent has been arrested for allegedly having entered the U.S. Capitol as part of a mob during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

Former Supervisory Special Agent Jared Wise spent about nine minutes in the Capitol, according to an affidavit.

The affidavit also states Wise told D.C. police department officers: "You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo."

When people in the crowd began acting violent toward the officers, Wise shouted, "Yeah, kill 'em," also according to the affidavit.

Officials arrested the 50-year-old Wise in Oregon on Monday on misdemeanor charges including entering or remaining in a restricted area, court records obtained by the Associated Press show.

Wise had worked for the FBI from 2004 through 2017.

The agency decline to discuss Wise's employment, saying, "We refer you to the public court documents and don’t have any further comment."

The FBI first received a tip about Wise entering the Capitol during the riot a more than year after the incident, the affidavit also states.

A federal magistrate judge ordered Wise to be released from custody after his initial appearance Monday in Eugene, Oregon.

132 ‘Ndrangheta mafia members arrested after investigation by Belgium Italy and Germany

European police and judicial authorities execute largest-ever coordinated hit against Italian organised crime

During an action day executed by 10 countries, 132 members of one of the world’s most powerful criminal networks have been taken into custody. In the early hours of 3 May, law enforcement authorities in Belgium, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Romania, Brazil and Panama raided multiple locations and seized several companies. Over 2 770 officers were involved on the ground during the action day.

Eurojust and Europol supported this international operation against the ‘Ndrangheta, which now stands as the largest hit involving the Italian poly-criminal syndicate to date. The mafia-style organisation is responsible for much of Europe’s cocaine trade, combined with systematic money laundering, bribery, and violence.

The criminal network under investigation was led by several powerful ‘Ndrangheta families based mainly in the town of San Luca, which is in the Italian province of Reggio Calabria. Some of these families have been involved in decades-long clan violence known as San Luca feud, culminating in massive shootings in Italy and abroad, such as the Duisburg massacre in Germany in 2007.

Members of the criminal network were engaged in criminal conspiracy not only by being part of a mafia-style organisation, but also by being responsible for drug trafficking, firearms trafficking, illegal firearms possession, money laundering, fraudulent asset registration, tax fraud and tax evasion, as well as the aiding and abetting of fugitives (who have since been arrested). Two of these fugitives had been on the EU Most Wanted list.

Staggering list of criminal activities

The Italian criminal network was mainly devoted to international drug trafficking from South America to Europe, as well as Australia. Authorities uncovered that the network was working in partnership with the Colombian organised crime group ‘Gulf Clan’ and an Albanian-speaking crime group operating in Ecuador and multiple European Countries. Furthermore, the ‘Ndrangheta clans were involved in international firearms trafficking from Pakistan to South America, providing weapons to the notorious criminal group PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) in exchange for cocaine shipments. Investigators tracked the flow of money in an extensive global money laundering system, with massive investments in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. The criminal group was investing its profits in real estate, restaurants, hotels, car wash companies, supermarkets, and other commercial activities. In order to pay for cocaine or to transfer illicit assets, the criminals often relied on facilitators using the hawala system.

Florida National Guard Went To Ukraine To Train Fighters And They Reported The Details to Ron DeSantis

What is Task Force Gator?

The Florida National Guard reported details of their “Task Force Gator” mission in Ukraine to Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis, according to a document obtained by NATIONAL FILE. The Florida National Guard was deployed to Ukraine to train Ukrainian fighters immediately prior to the Russian invasion. This revelation raises even more questions about Ron DeSantis’ foreign policy credentials. Would DeSantis as president actually be committed to stopping the war in Ukraine or would he simply roll over to the neocons and plunge America even deeper into World War 3?

Task Force Gator is reportedly a federal mission that has been part of an operation that Barack Obama started in Ukraine during his previous administration. The Florida National Guard reportedly arrived at a training center in Ukraine in 2021 and taught Ukrainian fighters how to shoot rocket launchers. The Pentagon pulled the Florida National Guard out of Ukraine shortly before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. As of 2022, the Florida National Guard had continued training Ukrainian forces from the Florida National Guard’s perch in Germany.

Governor DeSantis, who has power over the Florida National Guard, apparently has not publicly objected to his Guard serving in Ukraine on a federal mission in the run-up to war, nor has DeSantis evidently objected to his Guard later helping Ukraine from their perch in Germany. Now we know that the Florida National Guard sent extensive briefing materials to DeSantis that explained the massive amount of military work that the Guard was doing in Ukraine.

In the Florida National Guard’s Adjutant General’s Report for the 2022 fiscal year (READ THE DOCUMENT HERE), which opened with a “LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA” and signed by major general James O. Eifert, the Florida National Guard described their activities in Ukraine. The report was prepared for and addressed to Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

The Florida National Guard report to DeSantis has an entire section profiling the Guard’s work in Ukraine, beginning on page 10, complete with photographs of training exercises.

The Florida National Guard report states: “In late November of 2021, Task Force Gator arrived in Yavoriv, Ukraine to assume the JMTG-U mission. Their mission was to conduct multinational partnering and advising operations in order to assist the AFU in developing the Combat Training Center in Yavoriv into a self-sufficient brigade-level combat training center, similar to the U.S.’s own Joint Readiness Training Center and the National

Training Center.”

WASHINGTON – Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member and long-time whistleblower advocate Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today aredemanding the FBI produce an unclassified record alleging a CRIMINAL SCHEME involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.The document, an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, allegedly detailsan arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions.Comer issued a subpoena today following legally protected disclosures to Grassley’s office.

“We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegationsimplicating the current President of the United States.What we don’t know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI’s recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight,” Grassley said.

“The information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then-Vice President Biden allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national. The American people need to know if President Biden sold out the United States of America to make money for himself.Senator Grassley and I will seek the truth to ensure accountability for the American people,” Comer said.

Chinese Secret Police Stations Part of ‘Systemic’ Infiltration: Congressman

National security officials, federal prosecutors, and lawmakers are on the lookout for secret police stations that they believe China has established on U.S. soil.

In September, a report by Safeguard Defenders alleged agents of the Chinese regime had been covertly operating in several countries, using secret police stations as a base of operations to surveil Chinese dissidents and even coercing Chinese expatriates to return to China. The Safeguard Defender report alleged one such secret Chinese police station was operating in New York City.

On April 17, FBI agents arrested two men on charges that they helped operate the alleged Chinese secret police station in New York City.

The Safeguard Defenders report and subsequent FBI arrests have put U.S. officials on the lookout for additional Chinese surveillance bases. Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) now warns that one such station is operating near his district.

“They call it a Chinese service center. It’s located in Omaha, Nebraska,” Flood said in an interview with NTD News on Tuesday.

To some, middle America might seem like an unlikely point of interest for Chinese surveillance operations, but Flood noted that the alleged Chinese service center is not far from Offutt Air Force Base, which serves as the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Command—the command overseeing U.S. nuclear bombers and both land and sea-based nuclear missiles.

“We’re a strategic headquarters […] and to have one of these Chinese service centers in our backyard in Omaha, Nebraska, tells you how aggressive and omnipresent the Chinese want to be in every community in America,” Flood said. “And it’s startling. It concerns a lot of Nebraskans. It should concern everybody in America that they’re penetrating that far into the middle of our country.”

Flood said he has reached out to the FBI in hopes of gaining more information about how this Chinese service station in Omaha has been operating.

“I haven’t had that briefing yet, but I’m really looking forward to learning about what they’ve been doing in Nebraska and across the nation,” he said.

The two men arrested in connection with the alleged secret Chinese police station in New York—Lu Jinawang and Chen Jinping—are both U.S. citizens. The two men worked for an organization that presented itself as an overseas service station, providing citizen services like driver’s license renewals for Chinese citizens living abroad.

Jes Staley accused of ‘aggressively’ raping Jeffrey Epstein victim ‘with his permission’

Former Barclays boss Jes Staley has been accused of sexually abusing a woman at Jeffrey Epstein’s Virgin Islands retreat, according to a new court ruling.

Staley, a former private banking chief at JP Morgan, is alleged to have ‘used aggressive force in his sexual assault of [anonymous victim ‘JPM Jane Doe’] and informed [her] that he had Epstein’s permission to do what he wanted to her,’ the ruling, filed on Monday, states.

Staley, 66, has admitted a friendship with Epstein but has denied participating in sexual assaults on women trafficked by the disgraced late financier.

The filing, in New York’s Southern District, puts more pressure on JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon by allowing claims by multiple Jane Does and the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a house on a private island, to proceed.

The claims say JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank were legally liable for their alleged facilitation of Epstein’s sex crimes and “knowingly benefited from participating in a sex-

trafficking venture.”

US District Judge Jed S. Rakoff wrote, “The claim of plaintiff the Government of the United States Virgin Islands that defendant JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. knowingly benefited from participating in a sex-trafficking venture…remains as part of the case.”

Staley exchanged 1,200 emailed with Epstein between 2008 and 2012, after the pedophile was convicted on a single charge of soliciting a minor in a plea bargain.

Some of them are alleged to have included pictures of young women in “seductive” poses.

The banking boss also visited Epstein’s Little St. James Island in the US Virgin Islands, nicknamed “pedo island” and where it was revealed Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal that Epstein had also entertained LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman.

Investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff, who has written extensively about Epstein told The Post, “President Harry Truman once said, “the buck stops here.” CEO Jamie Dimon is JP Morgan’s Harry Truman.

Sarnoff, who is executive director of Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking and wrote the Epstein book “Trafficking” continued, “This ups the ante for Dimon and Jes Staley since human trafficking is a globally profitable business and banks are the engine that keep human trafficking networks-great and small-operational.”

Victims claim Epstein agreed to bring wealthy clients to JPMorgan in exchange for Staley — who was head of JPMorgan’s private banking division from 2000 to 2009 — using his influence with the bank to protect Epstein and his illegal human trafficking and sex crimes.

The federal judge last month ordered JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to set aside two days for depositions about what he knew about the bank’s relationship with sex offender and former client Jeffrey Epstein.

The US’s largest bank faces lawsuits seeking damages by women who claim that Epstein sexually abused them, and by the US Virgin Islands, where the late financier had a home.

An Oct. 23 trial is scheduled.

JPMorgan is separately suing former private banking chief Staley, claiming he concealed from the bank all he knew about Epstein.

Staley engaged in a pervy discussion of Disney princesses with Jeffrey Epstein in July 2010, according to several emails cited in the court papers.

“That was fun,” Staley allegedly wrote to Epstein, “Say hi to Snow White.”

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

EU Backs Dutch Scheme to Forcibly Shut Down Thousands of Farms, Ban Farmers From Returning to Agriculture Forever

The European Commission in Brussels has backed a scheme by the globalist government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the Netherlands that would see thousands of farms shut down in order to comply with EU climate goals.

On Tuesday, the governing arm of the European Union officially threw its support behind plans by the Dutch government to buy out thousands of farmers from their lands in order to meet the EU’s Natura 2000 scheme to protect certain environments. The plan, which would offer farmers 120 per cent of the value of their farm, could see some 3,000 so-called “peak” emitters of nitrogen shut down.

It was unclear before this week whether the EU would permit such a scheme, as it could have potentially fallen afoul of regulations surrounding state aid or subsidies. However, Brussels said that the plans were “necessary and appropriate” as they met the broader goals of the European Green Deal.

“The positive effects transcend any distortions of the free market,” the statement added.

In addition to the plan to buyout — or eventually force out if they refuse — the “peak” emitting farms, the government is also planning a separate scheme that would give dairy, pig, and poultry farmers a deal for 100 per cent of the value of their farm if they wished to shut down. In total, some 1.4 billion euros is expected to be set aside for both farm shutdown schemes.

Should the plan go ahead, it would not only be a major blow for the farming industry in the Netherlands, which is one of the most productive in Europe but could potentially impact other nations as well, given that part of the condition of the buyout scheme is that the Dutch farmers would be prohibited from moving to other countries and starting up farms abroad, meaning that their knowledge and expertise would be squandered.

Responding to the announcement from the EU, Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek said: “This is how they do it: they put a knife to the farmers’ throats. They make sure they don’t get their licenses renewed, they’re plaguing them with new rules & restrictions every day and then offer them a bride, knowing many will take it out of pure desperation. It’s all so vile.”

“I also highly doubt that prohibiting them to start over elsewhere in the EU is even legal. The whole idea of the EU was supposed to be about freedom of movement and freedom of workers. This is some next-level USSR stuff,” Vlaardingerbroek added.

The plan to shut down thousands of farms is by no means a done deal, however, given that it would need to be managed mostly at the provincial level. This may be complicated for the fledgling Rutte government as the upstart tractor protest backing Farmer–Citizen Movement (BBB) party not only became the single largest party in the Dutch Senate in March but also one of the largest parties at the provincial level where many of the farms are located.

There have also been some cracks within Rutte’s coalition, with the CDA party expressing doubt over the general nitrogen emission crackdown following the surprise victory of the BBB party.

Obama Ordered To Pay $313 Million For “Creation Of ISIS”

In a monumental decision, an Iranian Court has just ruled the United States government, former President Barack Obama, former President George W. Bush, the CIA, and several military defense contractors must pay over $313 million for playing a major role in the creation of Isis.

The court ruled Obama along with others are directly responsible for ISIS attacks in 2017.

The court came to the decision to hold Obama, Bush and The CIA responsible for ISIS’s deadly actions from evidence presented in Iranian court which revealed the US used the CIA in order to create terrorist groups under the leadership of Bush and Obama.

As of right now it’s unclear how the compensation order will be handled but one thing is clear and that’s the corporate media will bury this story.

Al Jeezera broke the story:

An Iranian court has ruled the United States government and a number of individuals and entities, including former President Barack Obama, must pay compensation for 2017 attacks carried out by the armed group ISIL (ISIS).

The court in the capital issued the verdict on Wednesday based on complaints by families of three people killed and six wounded during the June 2017 attacks in Tehran, according to the official news website of the judiciary.

he building of the Iranian parliament and the mausoleum of the founder of Iran’s current establishment, Ruhollah Khomeini, were targeted during the daylight assault that killed 17 people in total.

The court ruled $9.95m needs to be paid to compensate for financial damages while $104m and $199m are for moral and punitive damages, respectively, with the total nearing $313m.

Those convicted in the case include the US government, Obama, former President George W Bush, Central Command (CENTCOM), and its former commander Tommy Franks, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Treasury Department, weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin, and American Airlines Group.

As to why the US is being blamed for the attacks, the website cited comments by American officials about the “fundamental” role played by the US in “organising and guiding terrorist groups”, news and information published by US media, and books and speeches by US officials discussing “the CIA’s role in creating terrorist groups”, including ISIL.

DOE Set To Award $200M Grant to Battery Maker Run by Chinese 'Talent Program' Recruit

FBI warns that Chinese use talent recruitment programs for economic espionage, theft of trade secrets

The founder of a lithium battery company poised to receive a $200 million grant from the Biden administration was once brought to China through a Chinese Communist Party program that the FBI warns is used for economic espionage.

The founder and chief executive officer of Microvast, Wu Yang, in 2000 was recruited to move back to China from the United States as part of a Chinese government-sponsored "talent program." The grant to Microvast could conflict with the stated policy of the Department of Energy, which plans to boost the company with the massive green energy grant. A DOE official said in February that the department is "prohibited" from funding people who are involved in foreign talent programs.

The Department of Energy has faced criticism from lawmakers for months over its proposed $200 million grant to Microvast to build a battery separator facility, after the Washington Free Beacon reported late last year that the company operates primarily out of China. While the administration in a pre-election press release last October portrayed the funding as a done deal, the department now says the grant is still under review.

But the Microvast CEO's participation in a talent recruitment program could complicate the deal further. Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.), who first noted Wu's participation in the Chinese program, is urging Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to "immediately terminate [the department's] award negotiations with Microvast, Inc."

Barrasso says there is "clear evidence that the founder, chairman, and CEO of Microvast participated in a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) talent program designed to entice overseas talent to return to China for the benefit of the CCP." These programs work to entice high-achieving individuals to move back to China—but the Chinese Communist Party often uses them to "encourage trade secret theft [and] economic espionage," according to the FBI.

The United Front Work Department of the Huzhou municipal government—a local branch of China's national "United Front" overseas influence operation—in a 2017 press release lauded Wu for his involvement in the talent program. According to the release, Wu was recruited by a local talent program called the "South Taihu Lake Elite Project."

"In 2000, he responded to the 'South Taihu Lake Elite Project' and returned from the United States with $3 million in his pocket," the press release said. "In 2006, he established Weihong Power System (Huzhou) Co., Ltd., specializing in the R&D."

Should Wu's participation be confirmed, it could tank Microvast's grant, which was awarded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021.

Indians jailed for spying on Qatar for Israel: Reports

The Indian nationals are accused of passing along information about a stealth-capable submarine.

Eight Indian nationals have been imprisoned in Qatar for months for spying on a submarine programme on behalf of Israel and could potentially face the death penalty, according to media reports.

The eight individuals are former officers in the Indian Navy and were arrested in late August, according to reports by Indian, Pakistani, Israeli and Arab media outlets.

New Delhi has had consular access to the eight prisoners and has tried to secure their release, but has been told by Doha that evidence suggests the former officers passed on intelligence to Israel, Indian news outlet ThePrint reported.

The Indian nationals had their first trial in late March, and another session is reportedly expected to be held this month.

Indian media reported that they were senior employees of Dahra Global Technologies and Consulting Services, a company advising on a Qatari programme aimed at obtaining high-tech Italian-made submarines that could evade radar detection.

Pakistani newspaper The News International reported last week that the company is now being shut down by Qatar, with as many as 75 Indian nationals, the majority of whom are former navy personnel, being told they were being let go by the end of May.

Qatar had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in 2020 with Italian-based shipbuilding firm Fincantieri SpA to build submarines as part of a larger project involving the construction of a naval base and maintenance of its military fleet. The MoU has reportedly not been implemented.

U212 Near Future Submarine

The submarines that Qatar is seeking are reportedly a smaller variety of the U212 Near Future Submarine, an ambitious submarine project in Italy built in cooperation with a German firm.

Israel has not officially commented on the issue, but it has stakes in preventing the development of military technologies across the Middle East, as it fears it could undercut its United States-backed military edge.

India and Pakistan are also interested in the submarine race as they seek to block each other from getting the upper hand.

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

Days before a failed drone assassination targeting Putin, Ukrainian banking baron Volodymyr Yatsenko offered a $500,000 bounty to any weapons maker able to land a drone in Red Square during Moscow’s upcoming Victory Day parade.

On April 23, a Ukrainian drone laden with 30 Canadian-made C4 explosive blocks crashed near Rudnevo Industrial Park in Moscow. Ukraine-based operators deployed the 37 LB arsenal in a failed bid to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was scheduled to visit Rudnevo that day.

The drone ultimately failed to hit its target, crashing roughly 12 miles from its intended destination. Russian media reported authorities discovered three similar unmanned aircrafts in the surrounding area. By the time the Canadian-manufactured bombs arrived in Moscow, the government in Ottawa had provided Kiev with nearly 6 billion dollars worth of aid to support Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s military.

The Ukrainian UJ-22 drone’s flight originated in the country’s Kharkov region. Yuriy Romanenko, co-founder of a think tank with close ties to Kiev’s intelligence services, credited Ukraine’s Secret Service (SBU) with orchestrating the assassination attempt. Romanenko wrote on Twitter: “Last week, our intelligence officers received information about Putin’s trip to the industrial park in Rudnevo… Accordingly, ours launched a kamikaze drone, which flew through all the air defenses of the Russian Federation, and fell not far from the industrial park.”

“Putin, we are getting closer,” Romanenko warned.

The drone was carrying m112 explosive charges, which are used by several states including Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. According to Russian media, the explosives recovered from the botched attack were of Canadian origin.

The failed attempt on Putin’s life came amidst a wave of drone incursions into Russian airspace in recent months. A day after the unsuccessful April 23 offensive, the Russian outlet SHOT recorded 10 drone attacks in the Belgorod border region, some of which included French LU-213 fragmentation grenades and American-made Switchblade drones. The Switchblade has been used in previous air assaults on the region as well.

The uptick in drone attacks inside Russian territory followed Kiev’s July 2022 launch of an “Army of Drones” campaign, an official effort to raise funds, dubbed “dro-nations,” to assist Ukraine’s procurement of foreign-produced, unmanned aircrafts.

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

Pentagon-Funded Censorship Firm Graphika Began Monitoring Covid “Disinfo” On Dec. 16, 2019 – Two Weeks Before WHO Knew Covid Existed

Graphika, a company that monitors online communities for government agencies, began collecting data on social media users sharing "disinformation" about Covid-19 two weeks before the World Health Organization even knew of an outbreak.

The private firm, which has received millions in Pentagon grants and contracts, targeted “US right-wing” communities as the top disinfo threat, right at Covid's outset.

Graphika is staffed by former DOD, CIA and NSA officials, and played a key role in censoring the pandemic via the Virality Project, partnered with the federal government.

Graphika, Inc., a small but influential social media monitoring and censorship firm that has received nearly $7 million in grants and contracts from the US Department of Defense (DOD), began tracking online “conspiracy theories” about Covid-19 on December 16, 2019 – just four days after the first patients reported symptoms in Wuhan, China, and two weeks before the World Health Organization (WHO) was even informed about the virus outrbreak.

As revealed by Graphika’s 35-page public report released in April 2020, Graphika began “data collection” of “global conversations” containing “conspiracy theories” about Covid origins on December 16, 2019:

The official CDC.gov timeline shows the first cluster of patients in Wuhan, China began to experience an atypical pneumonia-like illness on December 12, 2019 — meaning Graphika’s social media “disinfo data collection” work began just four days later. WHO was not informed of Wuhan’s outbreak until December 31, 2019 – a full two weeks after Graphika had already being monitoring social media conspiracy theories about the atypical virus:

The WHO did not even name the virus “Covid-19” until February 11, 2020, and did not officially declare a pandemic until March 11, 2020. Yet predating all these events, Graphika was closely surveilling and working to neutralize what obscure Twitter and Facebook communities were saying online about the virus’s origins – all while categorizing citizen accounts by political affiliation, ostensibly to monitor their potential for political mobilization on the basis of shared beliefs.

The disinfo firm used the data they collected on US citizens and voices around the world to create a “network map” of “the global online conversation surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.”

Lest there be any doubt about Graphika’s political bias, the report lists “U.S. Right Wing” as its own specific disinformation group, whereas the report mentions “left-wing media,” “Resist” and “anti-Trump” groups as predominately involved in driving “positive online communications.”

Graphika also takes special care to track how Bill Gates and George Soros contextualized by so-called “U.S. Right Wing” disinformation:

What exactly lands someone in the category of spreading “Covid disinformation,” according to Graphika? For prominent Chinese human rights activist Jennifer Zeng, it was “frequently shar[ing] Epoch Times articles.” For exiled Chinese billionaire and political activist Guo Wengui, it was questioning the Chinese Communist Party’s virus death toll figures. Both Zeng and Wengui land in Graphika’s “conspiracy community” of “anti-CCP activists.”

But the April 2020 report wasn’t nearly the end of Graphika’s Covid censorship work. As Twitter Files reporting from Matt Taibbi revealed, Graphika wrote a subsequent report sent to Twitter encouraging them to take action to throttle or ban the alleged misinformation and disinformation. There, the DOD-funded disinfo firm sought to shield Anthony Fauci from criticism in much the same way it had done earlier to shield Bill Gates and George Soros:

“This continual process of seeding doubt and uncertainty in authoritative voices,” Graphika wrote, “leads to a society that finds it too challenging to identify what’s true or false.”

In other words, much of the information cited by Graphika as misinformation and disinformation wasn’t actually false, but they believed it was “too challenging” for people to discern between true and untrue information – and so the self-appointed arbiters of truth should decide what content to allow and what to censor.

Indeed, Graphika’s Virality Project would explicitly tell Twitter to censor “true” information, if true information would lead people to lose faith in government Covid measures.

Here it should again be noted that Graphika has received nearly $7 million in government grants and contracts, straight from the very Pentagon that would go on to spearhead the Covid-19 response. That means millions of dollars in public funds were taken from conservative taxpayers, whom Graphika then turned around and targeted as “spreaders of misinformation.” It also means the DOD, which took the lead role in Operation Warp Speed’s vaccine development effort, ended up funding firms who censored online criticism or questions about the DOD’s vaccine development efforts.

Which is a disturbing coincidence, on its own.

One of Graphika’s primary benefactors – according to its own website – has been the Defense Department’s Minerva Initiative. The Minerva Initiative is a controversial Pentagon research program dedicated, in effect, to the study of psychological warfare and the science of modifying the behavior of social and political groups overseas. Minerva Initiative cohorts provide guidance to DOD, for example, about how to stop citizen opposition to crisis governance measures – not unlike opposition government pandemic policies – and how to secure “citizen buy-in” so the state’s “accepted authority” is unchallenged.

Kiev's Terrorist Attack on Kremlin Sets Dangerous Global Precedent

Two Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) approached Moscow's Kremlin, the official residence of the Russian president, and were downed through the use of electronic warfare equipment on May 3. The Russian leadership denounced the incident as a "terrorist act" and an attempt on the life of Vladimir Putin.

"This story is related to international terrorism," Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, told Sputnik.

"The fact is that Ukraine is already openly positioning itself as a terrorist state, which is covered up by the collective West, primarily by Washington and Brussels. And with such support, [the Kiev regime] calmly arranges such terrorist acts of sabotage, using the simplest and most modern method for this, that is, buying these products in the West and equipping them with the necessary amount of explosive, and then sending them on a particular course."

According to Mikhailov, the incident appears to be a Kiev PR stunt aimed at galvanizing the domestic audience in the absence of any achievements at the front line: Ukrainian authorities need a "nice picture" to generate some hype on social media.

"Most importantly, they are trying to show the collective West that this counteroffensive, funded by the West, is underway. It's just a multi-layered one. One of its stages is an attack on the Kremlin. But we are well aware that from a military point of view, everyone is safe and sound and no damage has been inflicted. And all this [fuss] is just a propaganda stunt," he said.

The Kiev regime has failed to produce any meaningful effect by this action, as per Lieutenant-General (ret.) Yevgeny Buzhinsky, chairman of PIR-Center think tank executive board and professor of economics who served as the Russian military’s top arms control negotiator from 2001 to 2009. There is no real effect because the drones were simply downed and that's it, Buzhinsky remarked.

"Today is May 3. Soon we will celebrate Victory Day [on May 9]. It's a significant event. Ukraine has shown by this that they can try to spoil this holiday for us. Is it possible," echoed Dmitry Kornev, a military expert and founder of the Military Russia portal.

However, "an information war is one thing, but, in fact, attacks on infrastructure are a completely different thing," stressed Buzhinsky.

Why did former PM of Israel Ehud Barak have at least three dozen meetings with convicted pedophile blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein from 2013-2017? Why did they meet every month in 2016? Are you still trying to figure out who Epstein really worked for?

Barak just told the Wall Street Journal that he was introduced to Epstein in 2003 by Shimon Peres, another prime minister of Israel, at a social event with U.S. dignitaries.

“There Should Be Consequences” – Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell Releases Statement on SHAM Maricopa County Midterm Election and “Cover-Up” by Officials

The America First Policy Institute has released a statement by former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell calling for consequences for the stolen Maricopa County Midterm Election.

Blackwell previously served as Ohio State Treasurer, Secretary of State, and US Ambassador to the UN and is now Chair of the Center for Election Integrity at the America First Policy Institute.

In his new statement, Blackwell criticized a recent report on an “independent investigation” into 2022 Election Day tabulator failures at 60% of voting locations across Maricopa County, led by former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Ruth McGregor.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, one concerning factor of this report states that Oki B432 printers “showed speckling at the edge of the ballot” during pre-election stress testing, which could have interfered with the timing marks on ballots. Despite this discovery being made in September 2022, Maricopa County moved forward anyway. They knew there were issues but did not address them.

Maricopa County Election Director Scott Jarrett also confirmed in December testimony that a fit-to-paper or “fit to page” printing issue “happened in the August 2020 primary election, the November 2020 general election, and the August 2022 primary election.” However, the new report claims that the printers “had been used during the August 2022 primary election, as well as in prior elections, without experiencing similar problems.” This sham “investigation” was a blatant cover-up of the truth about Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh’s elections.

Abe Hamadeh’s race was initially called by just 511 votes before a shady recount in Pinal County found hundreds of wrongfully tossed votes heavily favoring Hamadeh. This brought the margin of “victory” down to just 280 votes.

However, Hobbs’ and her lawyers previously delayed these recount results from being presented before Abe’s case against Hobbs and Kris Mayes was dismissed. They knew the recount results were flawed and hid it from the judge. Blackwell concluded this was “either gross incompetence or a cover-up.”

Additionally, a newly released video of an Election Day failure in Maricopa County confirms that thousands of Election Day voters were disenfranchised with canceled voter registrations and forced to cast provisional ballots that were never counted. Abe is fighting to get all legal votes counted.

The statement reads,

STATEMENT: KEN BLACKWELL ON ISSUES WITH MARICOPA COUNTY ELECTIONS

Washington, D.C. – Maricopa County, Arizona, recently released a report and statement about their performance in the 2022 midterm election. In part, the report stated, “All legal ballots were counted and included in the official results, but the printer issues caused frustration for many Election Day voters, something the Board has vowed to remedy.”

Today, the America First Policy Institute released the following statement from Ken Blackwell, Chair of the Center for Election Integrity at the America First Policy Institute, regarding the recent discoveries about the 2022 midterm elections in Maricopa County, Arizona:

“First, Maricopa County election officials blame printers and say they will do better. Common sense and basic competence would dictate election officials assess the capability of the printers BEFORE Election Day. They didn’t.

Second, it now appears that not all legal ballots were counted and included in the official results. There is testimonial evidence of people who did not have their votes counted. And in a legal case brought by Arizona Attorney General candidate Abe Hamadeh, evidence shows that then Secretary of State Katie Hobbs knew that the recount showed discrepancies and failed to disclose those relevant facts to the court in a timely manner before the court made its ruling. This failure to do so is either gross incompetence or a cover-up.

Maricopa County failed its voters in 2022, and there should be consequences for that failure.”

Abe Hamadeh and Kari Lake were both leading in the polls, with Kari holding a double-digit lead, coming into the 2022 Election when machines failed at 60% of polling locations and other law violations tainted the legal votes. No Honest person believes this election was fair or that their opponents legitimately won.

"Mysterious" New Markings Have Appeared on the U.K.'s Ancient Stone of Destiny (to be used in King Charles' coronation)

Prince Charles has recently sent the call for all British, not just nobility (as in the entirety of history, to my knowledge) to come swear allegiance to him. Now, suddenly, there is this “mystical” stone with “new carvings”, conveniently just before the time of his swearing in ceremony, in which it will play a huge part. 

“The stone will be used during King Charles III’s coronation. What do the new clues mean?”

They’re literally making this a soothsaying or scrying stone. Will be interesting to hear what they come up with as the interpretation.

US Senators Accuse Tony Blinken of Perjury Charges on Contacts with Hunter Biden – Subpoena All Relevant Documents from Corrupt Biden Official by May 15th

Senator Ron Johnson joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures over the weekend.

Johnson told Maria Bartiromo that current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken lied to his US Senate committee under oath about contacting Hunter Biden. Blinken told Johnson’s committee he did not email Hunter Biden. Johnson now has possession of emails that prove Blinken committed perjury and lied under oath to the US Senate.

Senator Ron Johnson: What is interesting, Marie, and here’s a little news for you. Anthony Blinken finally did come in and sit down for a voluntary transcribed interview in December of 2020 because he wanted to be secretary of state. And now, because of more information that’s come out, we know that he lied bold face to Congress about never emailing Hunter Biden. My guess is he told a bunch of other lies that hopefully we’ll be able to bring him and his wife back in, tell them to preserve their records. You cannot trust Joe Biden. You cannot trust Hunter Biden. You can’t trust the Biden family. You can’t trust so many of the people that they have surrounded themselves with these made men. I basically agree with that statement…

…What do you do when you have, in effect, co conspirators of the Biden family inside the agencies, inside our intelligence agencies, the Department of Justice, the FBI. And you have the political party, the Democrats, who couldn’t care less, have no interest whatsoever in the corruption that is being uncovered bit by bit as we pull back the layers of the onion here… He must preserve his emails. We must get to the bottom of this. We need to show how corrupt these individuals are.

Senators Johnson and Grassley informed Blinken to preserve his records. The Senators asked Blinken to turnover relevant emails and communications with Hunter Biden by May 15th.

It seems highly unlikely that you had no idea of Hunter Biden’s association with Burisma while your wife was apparently coordinating with Hunter Biden to potentially connect you with Burisma’s U.S. representatives.

The public recently learned through congressional testimony from former CIA official Michael Morell, that you allegedly were the catalyst of an October 2020 information operation aimed to deceive Americans about the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop.21 It is now evident that your apparent willingness to deceive the public continued through December 2020 when you failed to tell the whole truth to congressional investigators about your contacts with Hunter Biden.

Because your testimony is inaccurate, Congress and the public must rely on your records as the source for information about your dealings with Hunter Biden. As such, you must preserve and provide all records, referring or relating to Hunter Biden, his business dealings, or his family’s business dealings, including but not limited to correspondence sent or received from your personal email accounts and phones, to include those of Ms. Ryan.22 These records will help provide the public a complete picture and understanding of the extent of your apparent deceptions. We request you and Ms. Ryan produce these records no later than May 15, 2023.

Here is a copy of the letter sent to Secretary of State Tony Blinken after he was caught lying under oath to the US Senate.

When will this man face consequences?

O’Keefe: DOJ Prison Official Says Merrick Garland “Rolling Over” On Trans Men Impregnating Women in Prison – Paying Transgender Rapists Millions in Lawsuit Settlements

James O’Keefe on Wednesday released video of a DOJ official telling an undercover journalist with O’Keefe Media Group that US Attorney General Merrick Garland is allowing trans men to rape women in prison.

The DOJ official, Linda Noelle, said Merrick Garland is “rolling over” on trans men impregnating women in prison.

“If they want to have all the transitional surgeries, they go through the ACLU,” she said.

James O’Keefe stood outside of the Washington Women’s Prison in Gig Harbor, Washington as a follow up to his previous story on women being raped by trans men.

The trans men then play victim and sue the US government for a million dollars – people inside the prison are calling this “the million dollar baby.”

The DOJ is just settling without the courts involved and paying out huge sums of money.

“And the DOJ, unfortunately under Merrick Garland, it rolls over. It doesn’t want to go through the court so they just pay people off,” Linda Noelle said.

James O’Keefe spoke with a prison source who told him about a convicted pedophile and sex offender who is sexually assaulting women in the Washington Women’s Prison after being transferred from a men’s prison in New Hampshire.

“He is actively trying to make one of these million dollar babies,” the source told James O’Keefe.

Police accuse Sydney plastic surgeon Dr Richard Sackelariou of sexually abusing eight girls

A New South Wales plastic surgeon has been accused of procuring and abusing eight underage girls, who were not his patients, in Sydney and Newcastle.

Key points:

Richard Sackelariou is accused of sexually abusing eight girls as young as 13

The plastic surgeon allegedly offered to pay one girl $1,500 for sex

Police did not allege that any of the girls were his patients

Double Bay plastic surgeon Richard Sackelariou, 69, was initially charged in November with abusing two underage girls he allegedly met online.

In Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday, crown prosecutor Kristy Mulley said there were Commonwealth and state charges and the number of child complainants was now eight.

Police documents tendered in court alleged the offending happened during 2021 and 2022.

Dr Sackelariou has been charged with 32 offences, including multiple counts of having sexual intercourse with a child, with the youngest being 13.

He was also charged with multiple counts of intentionally sexually touching a child between 10 and 16 years of age.

Doctor allegedly offered cash for sex

In police charge sheets tendered in court on Wedesday, the Hunter child abuse unit alleged a 15-year-old girl was offered $1,500 to have sex with the doctor.

That resulted in a charge of allegedly inducing her to participate in an act of child prostitution at a location in Sydney.

The charge sheet said a second alleged victim, aged 13, was paid $200 to participate in an act of child prostitution at a location in Newcastle.

Police said other alleged victims were also offered cash, but the amounts were not included in the documents.

Dr Sackelariou has operated from his Double Bay practice for 20 years but police did not claim that the alleged victims were his patients.

Prosecutor Ms Mulley said the crown was in a position to certify the NSW charges against the doctor, but there were delays with the alleged Commonwealth offences.

Defence lawyer Drew Hamilton on Wednesday told the court Dr Sackelariou had previously been refused bail.

Both the prosecution and defence asked for a one-week adjournment to allow for the Commonwealth charge certification process to be finalised.

The matter is due back in court on May 10.

America First Legal Releases More of Biden’s Vice Presidential Records Revealing Influence Peddling and Corruption Between the White House and Hunter’s Private Foreign Business Dealings

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) released its third tranche of emails from the National Archives in response to AFL’s request and lawsuit for records from Joe Biden’s time as Vice President in the Obama Administration and Hunter Biden’s corrupt foreign business dealings.

On March 3, 2023, AFL filed a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) Complaint against Hunter Biden, based on information contained in the first set of documents obtained by AFL as a result of this litigation. These new emails provide further evidence that Hunter Biden’s personal business activities comingled with Joe Biden’s official business beginning in Vice President Biden’s first year in the White House.

These records include evidence that:

Vice President Biden’s closest advisors held confidential discussions about Hunter Biden’s consulting firm, Seneca Global Advisors.

Hunter’s foreign travel and personal business and financial matters involved discussions with White House staff and other political appointees in the Obama Administration.

On the same day that a CCP official was addressing allegations of political retaliation against an Anglo-Australian mining company, Hunter’s business partner involved with CCP-backed mining deals was reaching out to the Vice President’s advisor about that CCP official’s upcoming visit.

The National Archives continues to unlawfully withhold records from the American public through improper and partisan applications of the Presidential Records Act.

FTC Says "Facebook Repeatedly Violated Its Privacy Promises," Puts "Young Users At Risk"

Meta, the parent company of the Facebook platform, has failed to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's 2020 privacy order that bars the social media company from profiting off data it collects from young users. Shares of Meta slid as much as 2% on the news.

"Facebook has repeatedly violated its privacy promises," said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. He said Meta's "recklessness has put young users at risk, and Facebook needs to answer for its failures."

As part of the proposed changes, Meta, which changed its name from Facebook in 2021, would be prohibited from profiting from data it collects, including through its virtual reality products, from users under the age of 18. It would also be subject to other expanded limitations, including in its use of facial recognition technology, and required to provide additional protections for users.

Wednesday's action by the FTC signifies an unwelcome reemergence of controversy for Meta and its platforms, Facebook and Instagram. Following previous FTC investigations into its privacy practices, the company paid a $5 billion civil penalty in 2019.

This marks the third time the FTC has pursued action against Meta for allegedly failing to protect users' privacy. The agency explains the timeline of events:

The Commission first filed a complaint against Facebook in 2011, and secured an order in 2012 barring the company from misrepresenting its privacy practices. But according to a subsequent complaint filed by the Commission, Facebook violated the first FTC order within months of it being finalized – engaging in misrepresentations that helped fuel the Cambridge Analytica scandal. In 2019, Facebook agreed to a second order—which took effect in 2020—resolving claims that it violated the FTC's first order. Today's action alleges that Facebook has violated the 2020 order, as well as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act Rule (COPPA Rule).

Shares of Meta slid 2% on the news but have rebounded since…

… and calls FTC's move a "political stunt."

Ukrainian counteroffensive has started – Wagner boss

Kiev’s forces have“unlimited men and ammunition,”Yevgeny Prigozhin has said

The head of the private military company Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said on Wednesday that the Ukrainian forces had begun theircounterattack in Artyomovsk (known in Ukrainian as Bakhmut) and are threatening to overwhelm his undersupplied troops.

Wagner forces advanced more than 200 meters on Wednesday, sustaining 116 fatalities and leaving less than three square kilometers of the Donbass city in Ukrainian possession, Prigozhin said in an audio clip shared online.

However the PMCs leader then announced that the Ukrainian military has “…begun its counterattack,” with “…unlimited manpower and ammunition.”

Meanwhile,he painted a dire picture of Wagner’s own situation, saying “ammunition shortages are acute” and his troops have enough rounds remaining “for just a few days.”

The Russian Defense Ministryis refusing to issue artillery ammunitionto Wagner, “ignoring our every request,” Prigozhin claimed. (Does anyone believe this?)

Wagner forces have been at the forefront of street fighting in Artyomovsk, known by Ukrainians as Bakhmut, a key rail and road junction in Donbass.Kiev has funneled tens of thousands of soldiers to the city, even as Wagner and other Russian troops established fire control over all the supply roads, leaving the Ukrainians half surrounded.

Chairman Comer has confirmed that the whistleblower is alleging a specific "bribery scheme with a foreign national." The document appears to lay out the alleged allegations and Grassley confirmed that he has not seen the document…

The whistleblower allegations place the continued refusal of AG Garland to appoint a special counsel, a position that some of us have long criticized as inexplicable given past references to the president…

Grassley just told Fox that he is concerned that this unclassified document could be "suddenly classified." The Congress is also likely to face claims of privilege over ongoing investigations…

Now the Washington Post is now reporting that Weiss is close to a "charging decision" on Hunter Biden. The Justice Department is likely to use that ongoing investigation as a basis to withhold this document and other information…

Ex-Russian president urges ‘physical removal’ of Zelensky

Dmitry Medvedev made the remarks following the Kremlin drone incident

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev drew a comparison between Ukraine and Nazi Germany on Wednesday, after two drones targeted the Kremlin. The vice-chair of the national security council urged Moscow to retaliate against President Vladimir Zelensky.

“After today’s terrorist act, there are no options left but the physical removal of Zelensky and his clique,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram.

“We don’t need him to sign [their] unconditional surrender. Hitler, as it is known, didn’t sign his either. There will always be someone like Admiral Doenitz to sit in as president,” he added, in reference to the Nazi officer who officially replaced Hitler after he committed suicide in April 1945 and presided over Germany’s capitulation.

Medvedev’s ire was provoked by last night’s drone attack on Moscow, which Russia blamed on Ukraine. Two UAVs exploded over the Kremlin and the Russian Senate, with authorities saying they were brought down by air defenses. There were no injuries or reports of damage.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was not in the Kremlin at the time, working from another residence instead.

“We consider this a premeditated terrorist action and an attempt against the Russian president,” the Kremlin said in a statement after the incident, adding that “Russia reserves the right to retaliate in a manner, place and time of its choosing.” City authorities in Moscow and St. Petersburg have already responded by imposing a ban on drone flights.

Medvedev was president of Russia between 2008 and 2012, and then prime minister until 2020. Currently, he serves as the deputy chair of the national security council, which is formally chaired by Putin. Despite his prior reputation as a moderate liberal,he has been far more hawkish on Ukrainethan the official Kremlin.

Last week, for example, Medvedev advocated “mass destruction of personnel and military equipment” and a “maximum military defeat” of Kiev once the much-hyped Ukrainian counteroffensive begins, arguing that the “Nazi regime in Kiev” must be “completely dismantled” and “former Ukraine”entirely demilitarized.

Kiev has officially denied having anything to do with the drones. Zelensky insisted that Ukraine fights on its own territory and has no weapons to reach Moscow. His aide, Mikhail Podoliak, insisted Ukraine was fighting “an exclusively defensive war” and claimed the Kremlin attack was the work of “local resistance forces” in Russia.The Ukrainian postal service has already released a stamp design showing the Kremlin in flames, however, just as they did after the Crimean Bridge bombing last October – also denied by Zelensky and his government.

(Russia speaks through their article pictures, this one on Medvedev is much different than any they have used since Feb. 2022. Which leads me to believe the drone strikes were a serious attempt on Putin’s life)

Nashville shooter's manifesto release to be DELAYED 'pending litigation': police

Hale's manifesto was reportedly "a blueprint on total destruction."

The manifesto left behind by Audrey Hale, the trans-identified female who shot up the Christian Covenant School in Nashville, will not be released due to "pending litigation."

"Covenant investigation update: Due to pending litigation filed this week, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has been advised by counsel to hold in abeyance the release of records related to the shooting at The Covenant School pending orders or direction of the court," the Nashville police said.

It was only a week ago that the Metro Nashville Police Department’s Public Information Office said "The investigation has advanced to the point that writings from the Covenant shooter are now being reviewed for public release. That process is underway and will take a little time."

Metro Nashville Council Member Courtney Johnston said that per her sources, Hale's manifesto was "a blueprint on total destruction," adding that "it was so, so detailed at the level of what [Hale] had planned." For these reasons, Johnston cautioned against releasing it in full, saying that redactions were necessary because "in the wrong person's hands would be astronomically dangerous."

Hale, who killed 3 children and 3 adults after driving to the school, which she had attended, in March, had left behind extensive documentation as to the reasons for her actions. In the hours leading up to the shooting, Hale had contacted a friend and told her that the reasons for her pending actions would be made known. She did not specifiy what those actions were.

There was much speculation after Hale's massacre as to why she had undertaken such a bloody crime, which led to her own death. There has been speculation that Hale's intention was to push back against Christians, who she may have seen as a threat to her trans ideology.

Portland elementary school to host BIPOC drag show to help students 'explore gender'

The event is set to include a drag show, drag queen story time, makeup and nail polish stations, as well as a self-defense demo presentation.

An elementary school counselor in the Portland Public School district is hosting a drag show for students featuring BIPOC drag queens with activities centered around the “exploration of gender.”

The event, organized by counselor Madi Bourdon, will take place at Atkinson Elementary School on May 19th. It is set to include a drag show, drag queen story time, makeup and nail polish stations, as well as a self-defense demo presentation. For parents, there will be a “gender-affirming Q & A.”

Earlier this year, Bourdon put out a call for sponsors for the drag show, which she advertised as “featuring BIPOC Drag Queens and a King” with “activities centered around the exploration of gender.” Bourdon hoped the event would be “empowering” to those “within and outside the Queer community to value their identity and build a safer more inclusive world.”

The gender-affirming Q & A session for parents will be held by “Miss Madi” and Elliott Hinkle of Unicorn Solutions. Hinkle, who goes by they/them pronouns, holds a degree in Women, Gender, Sexuality, and Queer studies, and boasts of having over a decade of experience working on “LGBTQI2S+” community projects.

In 2021, Bourdon set up a GoFundMe page for Atkinson’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA). She described herself as the leader of the GSA, which “is one of the most loud and proud, queer-affirming groups I have ever known, and has even paved the way to help other GSA's establish!”

“Atkinson's GSA started in October of 2021 and has quickly become one of the coolest and most incredible things to be a part of and help lead in my lifetime,” said Atkinson.

GSAs are common in middle and high schools, but less so in elementary schools. Initially, GSA stood for Gay Straight Alliance, but over time the meaning has shifted to Gender and Sexuality Alliance, as gender ideology has become more widespread in American schools.

Atkinson describes the elementary school students who are members of her Gender and Sexuality club as being not only “socially aware,” but also “empathetic, supportive, loving, and all-round wild advocates for themselves and their community."

In 2022, Bourdon set up a second fundraiser, this time for the GSA she had set up at Glencoe Elementary, where she also works as a counselor.

“I am a school counselor at two elementary schools in Portland, OR,” she explains on the GoFundMe page. “Last year, I created a GSA at my other home site, but this year I could not wait to get Glencoe on the inclusion train too!”

West cannot stay silent on Kremlin drone attack but won’t admit anything – experts

The strike breaks an unofficial deal between Moscow, Kiev and the Westnot to target political leaders, analysts warn

A Ukrainian drone attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s working residences in the Kremlin has shaken the status quo in the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev, a group of experts told RT following the incident. It could alsolead to a dangerous escalation possibly involving the use of nuclear weapons, they warned, adding that Russia is bound to retaliate.

Thomas Roeper, a German author and war correspondent currently residing in St. Petersburg, said he was “quite surprised” to hear of the attack, since it clearly violated“an unofficial agreement not to bomb, not to attack places where the leading politicians are.”

“There is no doubt that Russia will have to retaliate,” said Ralph Niemeyer, the head of the German Opposition Group for German Sovereignty and Constitution. “There will be further escalation, even up to the threat of the use of nuclear [weapons], which I think is still possible,” he added.

A Turkish professor of international law and an expert on terrorism, Mesut Hakki Casin, suggested that anescalation may have been the goalof the people who planned the strike. The forces behind the attack might have sought to put the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine “at the center of European warfare” and potentially even provoke Moscow into launching a tactical nuclear strike, he told RT.

“It’s a very unacceptable and a very, very dirty game,” the Turkish analyst warned. Casin also said Kiev may not have been alone in planning and organizing the strike. “This is an organized international attack,” he said.

Ukraine’s Western backers will not be able to ignore the incident in any case, Niemeyer believes. The German opposition figure still anticipates that the US and its allies will try to downplay the incident and “say it was not the Kiev regime, it was not [President Vladimir] Zelensky’s people,” as they did with the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.

According to Roeper, the attackcould also affect relations between Kiev and Washingtonif the Ukrainians did not inform their backers about the planned attack in advance.

“Maybe Washington was not informed, and maybe it was. We will see by the reaction. If Washington was not informed, there will be some angry reaction because this is a quite big danger to attack the president of a nuclear power,” the journalist said.

Two dronestargeted the Kremlin in an attack in the early hours of Wednesday morning. One exploded over the Senate Palace, a working residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Thesecond fell in the grounds of the Kremlin, not far from the president’s second working residence, the Great Kremlin Palace. Moscow blamed the incident on Ukraine and has reserved the right to retaliate. Kiev denies any responsibility.

Recovery of ancient DNA identifies 20,000-year-old pendant’s owner

Elk tooth pendant unearthed in Siberia is first prehistoric artefact to be linked to specific person using genetic sleuthing

Scientists have used a new method for extracting ancient DNA to identify the owner of a 20,000-year-old pendant fashioned from an elk’s canine tooth.

The method can isolate DNA that was present in skin cells, sweat or other body fluids and was absorbed by certain types of porous material including bones, teeth and tusks when handled by someone thousands of years ago.

Objects used as tools or for personal adornment – pendants, necklaces, bracelets, rings and the like – can offer insight into past behaviour and culture, though our understanding has been limited by an inability to tie a particular object to a particular person.

“I find these objects made in the deep past extremely fascinating since they allow us to open a small window to travel back and have a glance into these people’s lives,” said the molecular biologist Elena Essel of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, the lead author of the study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Kiev admits to issues with Western weapons

Howitzers Ukraine received from Italy had to be upgraded, a top official said, after reports that none of the guns were battleworthy

Ukraine has had to modify some long-inactive Western weapons sent to it by its backers, Mikhail Podoliak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky admitted in an interview published on Tuesday.

Speaking to Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Podoliak was asked to comment on a recent Financial Times report alleging that all 20 self-propelled howitzers Rome had sent to Kiev turned out to be defective and not ready for combat deployment.

The Ukrainian officialattempted to downplay the revelation, saying that “the self-propelled guns had been in warehouses for a long time, they require an obvious operational upgrade.”He added that “it often happens that this or that [Western] weapon is developed here in Ukraine,” pointing out that Kiev needs all the weapons deliveries it could get, and as soon as possible.

“Understandably, the ideal would be to receive ready-to-use weapons but, let’s be realistic,we are always ready to repair and refurbish them,”Podoliak noted. He wouldn’t give any further detail on the reportedly malfunctioning Italian howitzers, explaining that it would make no sense to disclose information that Russia could take advantage of. (Three days ago he was complaining about them, he must have gotten a talking too)

In mid-April, Italian media reported that Rome had sent to Kiev a batch of old US-designed M109 SPGs (self-propelled howitzers) which had been stored in depots and were overhauled with American funding before being dispatched to the frontline.

However, after the FT’s scathing report on the howitzers, in an interview with il Fatto Quotidiano, an Italian defense source described theguns as “outdated vehicles, which were not in use in Italy,” adding that it was the very reason the weapons were sent to a US company to be retrofitted.

The source went on to shift blame away from the Italian government, suggesting that “the problem may have been in the maintenance phase.”

This is not the first time that issues with certain Western weapons supplied to Ukraine have come into the public spotlight. On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that German-made Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzers sent to Kiev had encountered significant difficulties on the battlefield due to “viscous central Ukrainian mud.”

In late March, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky himself acknowledged, without naming names, that a European nation had supplied Kiev with afaulty air-defense system, which the nation’s military “had to change… again and again.”

(I guess the constant demanding of armaments and complaining & whining when they get them, along with them laundering $400 million from American aid, is causing problems with deliveries)

Now, New York State is banning the use of natural gas for heating and cooking in some new buildings.

According to The New York Times, “The provisions will require new buildings to be constructed with only electric hookups for appliances and utilities beginning in 2025. The law will go into effect for buildings with fewer than seven stories beginning in 2026. The requirements will kick in for taller buildings by 2029.”

Dr. McCullough Discovers Alarming Study Out Of China: “mRNA Technology Has Just Entered a Whole New, Much Darker Phase”

Dr. Peter McCullough, outspoken critic of COVID-19 mandates and jabs, uncovered an alarming scientific study coming from the Chinese researchers Quan Zhang et al. titled: “An oral vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 RBD mRNA-bovine milk-derived exosomes induces a neutralizing antibody response in vivo.”

As someone who treated myocarditis patients on the frontlines, Dr. McCullough’s warnings about this should be listened to carefully:

“Children could be targeted with easily administered oral vaccine dosing or potentially get mRNA through milk at school lunches and other unsupervised meals. For those who have taken one of the COVID-19 vaccines, having milk vaccines as an EUA offering would allow even more loading of the body with synthetic mRNA which has been proven resistant to ribonucleases and may reside permanently in the human body…

mRNA technology has just entered a whole new, much darker phase of development. Expect more research on, and resistance to, mRNA in our food supply. The Chinese have just taken the first of what will probably be many more dangerous steps for the world.”

Indeed, many more reports have surfaced recently of farmers in the USA and EU using mRNA-based vaccines on their livestock to “help protect against disease.”

Thankfully, you can protect yourself regardless of where the mRNA originates. According to Dr. McCullough, the best-known defense against mRNA-carrying spike proteins is a daily dose of over-the-counter nattokinase:

Elon Musk threatens to reassign NPR’s Twitter account

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk threatened to reassign NPR’s Twitter account to “another company,” according to the non-profit news organization, in an ongoing spat between Musk and media groups since his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter last year.

“So is NPR going to start posting on Twitter again, or should we reassign @NPR to another company?” Musk wrote in one email late Tuesday to NPR reporter Bobby Allyn.

NPR stopped tweeting from its main account after Twitter abruptly labeled NPR’s main account as “ state-affiliated media ” last month, a term that’s also been used to identify outlets controlled or heavily influenced by authoritarian governments. Twitter then changed the label to “ government-funded media.”

NPR said that both labels were inaccurate and undermined its credibility — noting the nonprofit news company operates independently of the U.S. government. Federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting accounts for less than 1% of NPR’s annual operating budget, the company said.

The last tweets on NPR’s main account are from April 12 — when the news organization shared a thread of other places readers and listeners can find its journalism. …

Visited Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Pedophile Island’

Washington Free Beacon, by Chuck Ross

Posted By: Beardo, 5/3/2023 5:09:09 PM

A Democratic megadonor who is helping bankroll a rape and defamation lawsuit against former president Donald Trump visited the private Caribbean island of Jeffrey Epstein years after Epstein registered as a sex offender for soliciting underage girls. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman visited Epstein’s compound in the Virgin Islands in 2014, known as "Pedophile Island" because he allegedly housed young girls there. Hoffman may have also stayed overnight at Epstein’s New York City residence in December 2014, according to the Wall Street Journal. (snip) Hoffman is one of the Democratic party’s largest donors.

Charging Decision in Hunter Biden Case

Reportedly Imminent, Major Concerns Arise

Amidst News

Red State, by Bonchie

Posted By: Beardo, 5/3/2023 1:50:26 PM

Could there finally be light at the end of the tunnel regarding the federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden? According to a new report from The Washington Post, citing numerous sources, a charging decision is now imminent and the investigation itself is essentially complete. That news comes after four years of rumors and speculation surrounding the probe, including lots of questions about why it has taken this long to near its culmination. (snip) To not press charges because the money was eventually paid back by a wealthy Hollywood lawyer would be the ultimate slap in the face to normal Americans subjected to what is obviously a two-tiered justice system.

Did isolating humans actually protect them? Spoiler: nope

aka

Study: Did the UK's public health shielding policy protect the clinically extremely vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales? Results of EVITE Immunity, a linked data retrospective study

Methods

Retrospective comparison of linked demographic and clinical data for cohorts comprising people identified for shielding from 23 March to 21 May 2020; and the rest of the population. Health records were extracted with event dates between 23 March 2020 and 22 March 2021 for the comparator cohort and from the date of inclusion until 1 year later for the shielded cohort.

Results

The shielded cohort included 117,415 people, with 3,086,385 in the comparator cohort.

The largest clinical categories in the shielded cohort were severe respiratory condition (35.5%), immunosuppressive therapy (25.9%) and cancer (18.6%).

People in the shielded cohort were more likely to be female, aged =50 years, living in relatively deprived areas, care home residents and frail.

The proportion of people tested for COVID-19 was higher in the shielded cohort (odds ratio [OR] 1.616; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.597–1.637), with lower positivity rate incident rate ratios 0.716 (95% CI 0.697–0.736).

The known infection rate was higher in the shielded cohort (5.9% vs 5.7%).

People in the shielded cohort were more likely to die (OR 3.683; 95% CI: 3.583–3.786), have a critical care admission (OR 3.339; 95% CI: 3.111–3.583), hospital emergency admission (OR 2.883; 95% CI: 2.837–2.930), emergency department attendance (OR 1.893; 95% CI: 1.867–1.919) and common mental disorder (OR 1.762; 95% CI: 1.735–1.789).

Conclusion

Deaths and healthcare utilisation were higher amongst shielded people than the general population, as would be expected in the sicker population. Differences in testing rates, deprivation and pre-existing health are potential confounders; however, lack of clear impact on infection rates raises questions about the success of shielding and indicates that further research is required to fully evaluate this national policy intervention.
