Japan’s Topix Index Edges Toward Highest Level Since 1990

Japan’s Topix rose, edging toward its highest close since August 1990, as foreign buying and locally driven corporate governance improvements support stocks near levels not seen since the nation’s bubble economy burst.

The benchmark climbed as much as 0.6% to 2,109.21, coming within 1% of surpassing its previous peak reached in September 2021. The Topix is beating the S&P 500 this year on further tailwinds from a resumed weakening of the yen amid the Bank of Japan’s continued easy-money policy, and solid earnings at companies focused on domestic demand. (BoJ was buying own debt to close out last month and drop the yield of the JGB 10y to below it's threshold level of .50%...currently sitting on .40%) cap #3

Warren Buffett’s renewed endorsement of Japanese stocks has provided hope that foreign investment is returning. Overseas traders bought a net $22 billion worth of the nation’s stocks and futures in April, amid record levels of inflows. At the same time, a flurry of buybacks is supporting sentiment after the Tokyo Stock Exchange called on companies that are trading below book value to outline capital improvement plans. Mitsubishi Corp. said on May 9 that it plans to buy back up to $2.2 billion worth of its shares and last month, information-technology firms Hitachi Ltd. and Fujitsu Ltd. announced sizable repurchases.

Sub-gauges tracking firms ranging from steelmakers to airlines are higher this year as investors pick up shares with low valuations and the possibility of improved governance. Even beer stocks are attracting renewed attention on prospects of price hikes, more favorable taxation and a rebound in tourism.

PwC tax scandal goes global, ex-CEO steps down from defence board

Some of PwC’s top global executives have flown to Australia and taken control of a tax scandal that is now affecting some of its biggest global clients.

PwC Global’s general counsel, Diana Weiss; the global head of its tax and legal operation, Carol Stubbings; and chief risk officer Coenraad Richardson, are now in Australia to oversee an independent review to rebuild the firm’s reputation.

The stakes are high. The Australian Financial Review reported that three of the largest global corporations, Apple, Google and Microsoft, are among those targeted with confidential information about the government’s plans to target tax avoidance.

PwC declined to comment about the trio, but the firm is expected to announce the leader of its independent review of the scandal this week.

“We now need to re-earn trust, which is why we have taken appropriate action, including the announcement that we will establish an independent review, in relation to our governance, accountability and culture,” a PwC spokesman said.

Senator Deborah O’Neill – who chairs the Corporations and Financial Services Committee that released a damning 148-page document this month revealing the scale of the firm’s profiteering from leaking confidential government tax plans to potential clients – said the cultural problems the scandal highlighted raised questions about the global firm’s entire business.

“You cannot provide a level of assurance as required by our financial markets, let alone by the government, if you are operating out of a model that is so clearly devoid of an ethical backbone,” O’Neill said.

Following recent resignations from other leadership roles in the wake of the scandal, acting chief executive Kristin Stubbins has appointed Rob Silverwood as head of its Financial Advisory business, while Tony O’Malley takes on a new role as chief risk and ethics leader.

Nicole Salimbini will lead a response plan for establishing appropriate governance and structures.

Meanwhile, the PwC boss who resigned last Monday in the wake of the tax avoidance scandal has also stood down from the board of a well-connected military contractor that is chaired by former defence minister Christopher Pyne.

Former PwC Australia chief executive Tom Seymour had his profile removed as a director of Australian Missile Corporation last week.

DENDRAL artificial intelligence program (1965)

A Stanford team led by professors Ed Feigenbaum, Joshua Lederberg and Carl Djerassi creates DENDRAL, the first “expert system.” DENDRAL was an artificial intelligence program designed to apply the accumulated expertise of specialists to problem solving. Its area of specialization was chemistry and physics. It applied a battery of "if-then" rules to identify the molecular structure of organic compounds, in some cases more accurately than experts.

Alan Turing quoted by The London Times on artificial intelligence

On June 11 (1949) The London Times quotes the mathematician Alan Turing. “I do not see why it (the machine) should not enter any one of the fields normally covered by the human intellect, and eventually compete on equal terms. I do not think you even draw the line about sonnets, though the comparison is perhaps a little bit unfair because a sonnet written by a machine will be better appreciated by another machine.”

Put bluntly, DynCorp was involved in a sex slavery scandal in Bosnia in 1999, with its employees accused of rape and the buying and selling of girls as young as 12. Dyncorp, hired to perform police duties for the UN and aircraft maintenance for the US Army, were implicated in prostituting the children, whereas the company's Bosnia site supervisor filmed himself raping two women. A number of employees were transferred out of the country, but with no legal consequences for them.

California Dems sowed the reparations

wind and are reaping the whirlwind

American Thinker, by Andrea Widburg

Posted By: Magnante, 5/15/2023 4:29:48 AM

One day, America’s black citizens will realize that Democrats always make promises they will not or cannot fulfill. The latest example is the reparations folly currently playing out in California. Black Californians are beginning to realize they were watching Kabuki reparations theater. In September 2020, right before the big election, the California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3121, setting up a “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans” (snip) Despite the task force only being advisory, blacks really believed that its recommendations would send money their way. (snip) Gavin Newsom announced that there would be no reparations money for any blacks.

Posted By: sagman, 5/15/2023 5:05:51 AM

So, the gate to illegal entrance into America is now open wider than it was before .[snip] But what will [the migrants] do? Well, a variety of things, none good because they are here illegally—at least for a while. But here are some possibilities to keep them occupied.

Comments:

The author makes a point I've not seen elsewhere. Sure, many will wind up picking crops and working menial jobs in factories. But millions of others will go on the public dole and stay there, disillusioned the streets are not paved with gold. A permanent, angry underclass.

And if the situation proves intolerable for the illegals, they, too, will become a discontented mass, angry, and ripe for Leftist propaganda. In history, when this kind of brew is stirred into a national pot, it usually takes a strongman (dictator) to step forth and subdue it, taking away everyone’s liberties in order to create stability. Once he gets power, he never gives it up. It happened in many countries in the 20th century, and it can happen in the 21st, too.

The royalty amount is only slightly less than the $174,000 salary that Sanders made last year serving Vermont in the U.S. Senate.

It’s really amazing to watch the head of CNN get absolutely lambasted for asking me to do a so-called Town Hall. In all fairness, nobody had any problems with what he wanted to do until after the show started, when they quickly realized that Ms. Collins was not exactly Barbara Walters, or even close. That’s when the trouble from the Radical Left started. Neurotic little AOC with the bad looking boyfriend, went crazy. “He owns CNN, he’s in their head,” they screamed. CNN, take the GREAT RATINGS!

The French government believes it is too early to discuss the delivery of fighter jets to Ukraine, Politico has reported. President Emmanuel Macron did pledge to provide Kiev with dozens more armored vehicles during a weekend meeting with Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky.

In an article on Sunday, Politico quoted an anonymous official from Macron’s office as saying that “what Ukraine needs is combat equipment, armored vehicles, tanks, artillery.” In addition, Paris will heed Kiev’s calls to supply more air defense systems, the source stated.

When asked whether France was considering sending fighter jets to Ukraine, the official dismissed the issue as “a bit premature,” stressing that the focus should currently be on land operations and air defense.

President Zelensky paid a surprise visit to the French capital late on Sunday, fresh from meetings with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Saturday and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

After a three-hour dinner, Macron and the Ukrainian leader issued a joint statement detailing Paris’s plans to “train and equip several battalions with tens of armored vehicles and light tanks, including AMX-10RCs [fighting vehicles].”

Zelensky had secured a €2.7 billion ($2.94 billion) package of military aid while in Berlin earlier in the day.

Documents show a Department of Justice draft proposal for updated anti-discrimination guidelines that would prevent FBI agents from using crime statistics in law enforcement activities. “[O]fficers and agents should not use statistics about arrest rates in particular communities when making decisions about where and how to focus their activities. Current and historical patterns of discriminatory law enforcement have led to higher rates of arrest in certain communities, particularly African American communities,” the documents say.

Moscow claims first intercept of UK-made long-range projectile

A Storm Shadow cruise missile was listed among several Western weapons shot down by Russian air defenses

Russian forces have stopped a UK-supplied cruise missile along with several other weapons fired by Ukrainian forces, the Defense Ministry reported in its daily update on Monday. London confirmed delivering Storm Shadow weapons to Ukraine last week, with Kiev promptly using them to attack the city of Lugansk.

The Defense Ministry claimed havingintercepted in the previous 24 hours seven anti-radiation HARM missiles, one Storm Shadow missile and seven rockets fired by HIMARS multiple launch weapon systems. It was the first time that Moscow reported downing one of the projectiles supplied by the UK since Kiev started firing them last week.

The local authorities in Lugansk blamed the new addition to Ukraine’s arsenal for several recent airstrikes on the Russian city. On Monday morning, two of them caused damage to residential buildings, an office, and two cars in the city, a regional monitor reported.

Acting Governor Leonid Pasechnik said that a military aviation school had been hit but that the attack did not cause any casualties, citing preliminary reports from the scene.

Before London sent its cruise missiles, which can strike targetsup to 300km (200 miles) away, Kiev did not have any Western weapons with a comparable range. The Ukrainian government had pleaded for months to acquire such arms, but the US and its allies were previously reluctant to extend Ukraine’s striking capability.

London said the new weapons will bolster the Ukrainian forces for the long-promised counteroffensive against Russia.

The Storm Shadows were touted as a game changer by some media outlets, which reported the impending deliveries days before an official confirmation by the UK. The MBDA-produced missile was described as having some stealth capability thanks to its relatively small size andability to hug terrain to avoid radar detection.

M16: Eagle Nebula Deep Field

From afar, the whole thing looks like an eagle. A closer look at the Eagle Nebula, however, shows the bright region is actually a window into the center of a larger dark shell of dust. Through this window, a brightly-lit workshop appears where a whole open cluster of stars is being formed. In this cavity, tall pillars and round globules of dark dust and cold molecular gas remain where stars are still forming. Already visible are several young bright blue stars whose light and winds are burning away and pushing back the remaining filaments and walls of gas and dust. The Eagle emission nebula, tagged M16, lies about 6500 light years away, spans about 20 light-years, and is visible with binoculars toward the constellation of the Serpent (Serpens). This picture involved long and deep exposures and combined three specific emitted colors emitted by sulfur (colored as yellow), hydrogen (red), and oxygen (blue).

Human ‘Stash House’ Busted in Southwestern US, 54 People Found Living in Squalor

May. 15, 2023 8:30 am

An El Paso, Texas, stash house where human traffickers hid illegal immigrants was raided recently, with authorities discovering more than 50 illegal immigrants living there.

The Border Patrol’s Santa Teresa Anti-Smuggling Unit, the Border Patrol’s Integrated Targeting Team, and troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety participated in the raid, according to KTSM-TV.

Border Patrol El Paso Sector Chief Anthony Good said on Twitter that authorities “encountered 54 migrants inside a local stash house living in deplorable conditions. 6 migrants were found to have prior removal orders and will be prosecuted accordingly.”

Stash houses are not uncommon. Last month, the Border Patrol raided two locations near El Paso, according to a Customs and Border Protection release in April.

In one raid, 51 illegal immigrants were discovered. The illegal immigrants had come from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

The release said two so-called caretakers were arrested and face charges connected with human smuggling.

In the second raid from early April, 94 illegal immigrants from Guatemala, Mexico and Ecuador were found in a stash house.

Because Title 42 was still in effect during April, all illegal immigrants found in those raids were deported.

The release said that during federal Fiscal Year 2023, agents in the Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector found 130 stash houses with over 1,800 illegal immigrants.

“The citizens in our local El Paso community provide an important partnership to help us safeguard our city. We encourage anyone with information to report suspicious activity to our office. That one phone call could help save many lives,” Good said.

NEW: A court filing tonight suggests the Durham investigation has closed.

The DOJ just dropped a key objection to the release of over 4,500 pages of records related to the Trump-era investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia inquiry.

https://www.americanoversight.org/american-oversight-receives-indication-that-durham-investigation-has-closed

On Friday, the Department of Justice dropped a key objection to the release of more than 4,500 pages of documents related to the Durham investigation, the Trump-era inquiry into the origins of the FBI’s probe of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. The DOJ had previously withheld the records claiming that their disclosure would interfere with an ongoing law enforcement investigation. Instead of filing an anticipated brief that would have defended the withholdings, the department withdrew its assertion of the “ongoing investigation” exemption — strongly suggesting that the Durham investigation has been closed.

The reversal was announced in a motion filed in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit American Oversight brought in August 2019 to compel the release of documents related to the Durham inquiry, including communications between Durham and senior Justice Department officials and any communications Durham or DOJ officials may have had with the Trump White House or Congress.

Statement from American Oversight Executive Director Heather Sawyer:

“The Durham investigation remains an alarming example of former President Trump’s weaponization of the Justice Department for his own political ends. Tasked with proving Trump’s allegations of a ‘deep state’ plot against him — and given nearly four years and millions of taxpayer dollars to do so — Durham found no wrongdoing. It’s long past time for the American people to see the full extent of the inquiry’s work and its influences and we look forward to the release of these records.”

American Oversight first requested the records in June 2019, after then Attorney General William Barr had instructed Durham to initiate the politicized investigation of the roots of the inquiry into potential ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign. That original FBI inquiry ultimately led to the larger investigation headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Lawyers for the Justice Department had previously argued the government could properly withhold more than 4,500 pages of records and one voicemail audio recording responsive to American Oversight’s requests under the FOIA exemption designed to protect ongoing investigations.

The New York Times reported in January that, after four years, the Durham inquiry was winding down “without uncovering anything like the deep state plot alleged by Mr. Trump and suspected by Mr. Barr.” Records previously obtained by American Oversight through the litigation revealed that Barr met frequently with Durham in the period directly after the Mueller investigation ended — 18 times in seven months — raising questions about potential political interference.

Australian gold miner Newcrest backs Newmont's $17.8 billion offer

May 14, 2023 5:17 PM PDT

(Reuters) - Australian gold miner Newcrest Mining Ltd said on Monday it would back Newmont Corp's (NEM.N) A$26.2 billion ($17.8 billion) takeover offer in one of the world's largest buyouts so far this year.

The deal, subject to approval from shareholders of both companies and other regulatory hurdles, would lift Newmont's gold output to nearly double its nearest rival, Barrick Gold Corp (ABX.TO), and catapult the miner past Freeport McMoRan (FCX.N) to become the largest U.S. gold and copper producer by market capitalisation.

Newcrest shareholders would receive 0.400 Newmont share for each share held, with an implied value of A$29.27 a share, higher than a previous exchange ratio of 0.380 that Newcrest's board rejected in February.

Newcrest shares opened on Monday 1.5% higher at A$28.68, and the offer is a 30.4% premium to the stock's price in February before the Newmont bid became public.

Newmont is also allowing Newcrest to pay a franked special dividend of up to $1.10 per share on the implementation of the deal that returns tax credits to Australian shareholders.

The merger is set to be the third-largest deal ever involving an Australian company and the third-largest globally in 2023, according to data from Refinitiv and Reuters' calculations.

"This transaction will combine two of the world's leading gold producers, bringing forward significant value to Newcrest shareholders through the recognition of our outstanding growth pipeline," said Newcrest Chairman Peter Tomsett.

Newmont said it would have about 8 million ounces of total combined annual gold production once the deal closed, with more than 5 million gold ounces from 10 long-life and low-cost mines.

The Denver-based miner added it would have combined annual copper production of approximately 350 million pounds from Australia and Canada.

Newcrest shareholders will be able to choose to receive New York Stock Exchange-listed Newmont shares or Australian-listed CHESS Depository Instruments (CDIs) as payment.

Newcrest said it recommended its shareholders vote in favour of the deal at a meeting expected to be held in September or October.

The deal requires Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval as well as Newcrest and Newmont shareholders to vote in support the transaction, among other regulatory requirements.

The companies said the deal was due to be finalised in the fourth quarter of 2023.

National Police Week 2023

FBI honors fallen law enforcement officers and employees during annual memorial observances

A candlelight vigil paying tribute to law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty drew thousands to the National Mall on May 14 in Washington, D.C. The solemn gathering was the signature event of National Police Week, an annual tribute to law enforcement officers across the U.S. who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The vigil came a few days after a Special Agent Memorial Service at FBI Headquarters honoring the memories of fallen FBI agents. As part of this event, Director Christopher Wray helped lay a wreath in the building’s courtyard on May 11 to honor the 92 Bureau employees who have lost their lives in the line of duty since 1925. In addition, two new names were added to the FBI's Wall of Honor: Supervisory Police Officer (Lt.) Yiu Tak "Louis" Tao and Supervisory Administrative Specialist Bryan A. Myers. Both died in 2022 from illnesses related to toxic air exposure during 9/11 recovery efforts.

Biking Biden Laughs at Border Crisis After Migrant Child Dies in US Custody

Joe Biden took a leisurely bike ride in Rehoboth Beach on Sunday.

Biden on Saturday took off to his Rehoboth Beach compound after delivering a divisive commencement address at Howard University.

Biden has spent 331 days – or 40% of his presidency – on vacation with no visitor logs.

Title 42, a Trump-era policy that forced migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while their immigration case worked its way through the system expired.

THOUSANDS of illegal aliens passed through the migrant processing center in El Paso, Texas on Friday.

Virtually all of the illegals were military age males.

A migrant child died in US custody last week.

Joe Biden thinks this is funny.

“How do you think things are going at the border?” a reporter asked Biden on Sunday.

Biden laughed at the border crisis.

“Much better than you all expected. Ha ha ha,” Biden said.

“Do you have any plans to visit the border?” the reporter asked.

“No,” Biden said.

New York Democrats Move to Seize Control of Children’s Health, Create Vaccine Database

New York Democrats are pushing even more legislation to rip children out of the arms of their parents.

New York Democrats have renewed their assault on medical freedom, as they prepare to vote on bills that would hide childhood STDs from parents and create a vaccine database.

Democrats in Albany plan on voting on two new pieces of vaccine legislation this week, one of which allows children to hide sexually transmitted disease diagnoses from parents, as well as allowing kids to take vaccines without parental knowledge, while the other creates a vaccine database.

The first bill the Democrat-controlled New York State Assembly’s Health Committee is planning to vote on is Assembly Bill 276 – a monstrous piece of legislation that will allow minors to get treatment for STDs as well as vaccines without parental consent.

AB276 was concocted by Amy Paulin (D-Scarsdale), who has represented her district for over 20 years with little to show for her time in Albany. Her bill would allow minors to hide sexually transmitted diseases from parents, potentially allowing for sexual abuse to go unknown, making it easier to abuse a child in New York.

Paulin’s bill, which is expected to pass the committee, obliterates a parent’s right to choose what vaccines a child receives – a dangerous precedent that in a post-Covid world could be a very slippery slope.

The most sinister part of Paulin’s bill is that it guts New York’s Mandated reporter law, which mandates the reporting of any suspected sexual abuse to proper authorities.

By allowing kids to hide STDs, the bill effectively re-writes the mandated reporter law and protects pedophiles.

Another bill coming up this week is A7154, the assembly version of S1531. Both of these bills would create a mandatory vaccine database, giving the state ultimate knowledge of who is vaccinated and who is not.

The assembly bill was introduced by John McDonald (D-Cohoes) who represents much of Rensselaer County and the capital region. McDonald is a pharmacist by trade and has deep ties to the Big Pharma industry in New York.

The Senate version of the Bill was introduced by Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, who represents Manhattan’s West Side in the State Senate. Hoylman-Sigal has received the title of the most progressive senator in Albany. Other bills he has written include mandating flu shots on all students, mandatory Covid jabs to attend college, and calling for students to receive sex education that includes LGBT indoctrination starting in Kindergarten.

Both of these calamitous bills are expected to be passed by the Health Committee this week and be voted on in the broader State Assembly, where they are expected to pass in yet another attack against the freedom of New Yorkers.

REPORT: COVID Vaccines Are Causing SEVERE Neurological Complications Including Bell’s Palsy and Strokes.

The COVID-19 vaccines – including Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson – have been causing a number of severe, life-changing neurological complications and syndromes, according to a review conducted by the European Journal of Medical Research (EJMR).

These revelations come soon after studies discovered the vaccines, among other things, “increase menstrual disturbance chances by up to 41 percent” and have a strong link to post-vaccination tinnitus.

According to the EJMR, which relied upon research, case reports, and articles related to “adverse effects” to conduct their review, “the short-term outcome of COVID-19 vaccination is promising, but in the medium and long-term, especially with some vaccines, side effects have been reported that are worrisome.”

The study states explicitly that “[e]ach type of vaccine can play a different role in increasing the risk” of the manifestation of the following disorders:

“COVID-19 vaccination can sometimes have severe side effects on [the] nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and peripheral nerves, and has been shown to have adverse vascular, metabolic, inflammatory, and functional effects on the brain.”

Neurological Complications.

Adenovirus vaccines, which allow fragments of mRNA or genomes to enter the human body, including AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson, and Sputnik, have been especially linked to complications such as thrombocytopenia, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage in the brain.

Whereas mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer and Moderna, are more generally linked to demyelinating syndromes such as transverse myelitis, first manifestation of MS, and neuromyelitis optica, states the EJMR report.

Who is Affected?

The vaccines have “several local and systemic neurological complications that occur in different people, from mild to severe, depending on age, sex, history of the disease, and pre-existing immunity,” states the report.

Massive outpouring of GiveSendGo support for Daniel Penny… Soros-prosecutors must be sweating bullets…May 12, 2023 (3d ago)

Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old young man we’ve dubbed the “Marine Subway Hero,” turned himself into New York authorities on Friday after he heroically saved an entire subway train from a violent, mentally ill madman named Jordan Neely.

A massive outpouring of support on GiveSendGo must have the Soros prosecutors working this case sweating. As of publication, the legal fund has already raised a stunning $736,251.

For at least a decade, the criminal schizophrenic Mr. Neely had been causing terror among New York City commuters. On that eventful day when Mr. Penny happened to be on the train, Mr. Neely, a long-time offender, was determined to carry out a criminal act in order to secure food and shelter by returning to prison.

Given the unpredictable nature of this disturbed and violent individual, it was impossible to anticipate the extent to which he would escalate. However, Mr. Penny, a former Marine and a compassionate individual, selflessly endangered himself to safeguard others by restraining the extremely foul-smelling Mr. Neely in a chokehold. Sadly, Neely’s disruptive behavior caused him to lose his life, and now the Soros-backed DA, Alvin Bragg, who also arrested Trump, has filed second-degree manslaughter charges against the heroic Marine.

This is just more weaponization of our judicial system by the usual radical left wing zealots.

The Independent:

Daniel Penny, 24, turned himself in to New York police early on Friday morning to be arrested on a second-degree manslaughter charge. He was seen arriving at the NYPD’s 5th Precinct in lower Manhattan just after 8am local time, where he did not respond to any questions from waiting journalists. He will be arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

“Shortly after 8am this morning Daniel Penny surrendered at the 5th Precinct at the request of the New York County DA’s office,” Mr Penny’s attorney Thomas Kenniff told reporter. “He did so voluntarily and with the sort of dignity and integry that is characteristic of his history of service for this grateful nation.”

Mr. Penny stoically turned himself in, like the hero he is. pic.twitter.com/crHJqdgYQr — Jack Poso 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) May 12, 2023

According to the AP, the potential criminal charges against a U.S. Marine veteran who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold aboard a New York City subway train might depend on whether a “reasonable” New Yorker would have acted similarly. It’s a challenging situation because nowadays, the majority of people tend to be bystanders who choose to capture acts of violence on their cell phones rather than stepping up as selfless heroes. Daniel Penny is free pending trial.

As mentioned above, a GiveSenGo has been started to help Mr. Penny raise money for his legal fees so he can fight this outrageous politicized injustice. So far, they’ve raised over 450K for Mr. Penny.

It’s absolutely vital for this young man to gather as much money as possible. He needs strong financial backing to take on these Soros-backed globalists on an even playing field. Just like Kyle Rittenhouse, who put up a brave fight thanks to the funds he raised for his defense, Mr. Penny wouldn’t stand a chance without such a massive outpouring of support.

Biden taps Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, a top cancer researcher, to lead NIH

May 15, 2023

President Biden said Monday he will nominate prominent cancer researcher Dr. Monica Bertagnolli to lead the National Institutes of Health, the world’s largest biomedical research agency.

She impressed Mr. Biden as the director of the National Cancer Institute and is a patient herself, having announced last year that she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Dr. Bertagnolli has spent her career pioneering scientific discovery and pushing the boundaries of what is possible to improve cancer prevention and treatment for patients, and ensuring that patients in every community have access to quality care,” Mr. Biden said.

Dr. Bertagnolli will require Senate approval as permanent director of NIH, which is composed of 27 centers that each have a specific research agenda.

She would be filling big shoes: Dr. Francis Collins served as NIH director for 12 years under three presidents before stepping aside in December.

Right now, the NIH is being led by Dr. Lawrence Tabak, whose title is “the senior official performing the duties of NIH director.”

The NIH took on a prominent role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci of its infectious diseases branch served as a prominent face of the U.S. response. The NIH’s decision to fund grant partners who worked on coronaviruses at a Wuhan lab sparked intense scrutiny.

The NIH generally enjoys bipartisan support, however, and appropriators have been willing to give it funding increases to explore vaccines for emerging diseases and cures to conditions such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Bertagnolli, a surgical oncologist by training, gained White House notice by serving as a key figure in Mr. Biden’s Cancer Moonshot project to “end cancer as we know it.”

The issue is personal to Mr. Biden, whose son, Beau, died of brain cancer in 2015.

“Dr. Bertagnolli is a world-class physician-scientist whose vision and leadership will ensure NIH continues to be an engine of innovation to improve the health of the American people,” the president said.

She said she is receiving her own cancer care at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where she worked before her government role.

“Dr. Bertagnolli is a physician-scientist and a patient herself, and deeply understands the intricacies and personal impact of biomedical research,” said Ellen Sigal, chairwoman and founder of Friends of Cancer Research, an organization that promotes new therapies and policies for cancer patients. “In a short period of time, she has proven her leadership at the NCI, and I have no doubt she will do the same at the helm of NIH.”

Five Migrants on Terror Watch List Arrested near AZ Border Post-Title 42

Border Patrol agents in a single border sector arrested five migrants later discovered to be on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) watch list. The apprehensions occurred on Friday in the Tucson Sector of the United States Border Patrol shortly after the end of Title 42. According to a source within Customs and Border Protection, not authorized to speak to the media, the migrants were referred to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task for further investigation and identity confirmation.

The source says the arrests of the foreign nationals who illegally crossed the border and attempted to avoid detection and apprehension occurred in separate incidents throughout the day and evening on Friday. Information regarding the demographics and nationalities of the arrested migrants was not available.

According to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection report, a total of 80 migrants who are listed in the Terrorist Screening Database have been apprehended after entering the United States along the southwest border between ports of entry this fiscal year. Two more were apprehended after crossing the northern border with Canada.

The data includes migrants apprehended between October 2022 and March 2023. The migrants whose names are listed in the TSDB differ from migrants who are scrutinized as being from special interest countries.

According to the FBI, Terrorist Screening Database contains information related to specific individuals reasonably suspected to be involved in terrorism (or related activities). A person’s name being listed in the TSDB triggers a reporting process that alerts the FBI to an encounter by the Border Patrol. The source says the additional scrutiny triggered by the encounter includes verification that the migrant whose name matches a name on the list is in fact the same person.

The source says that the investigation and additional interviews by the FBI’s JTTF determine the subsequent actions taken by DHS related to the consequences a migrant may face after initial processing.

The FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) maintains the database and provides the information to several law enforcement agencies including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. The TSC does not confirm anyone’s status on the watchlist. According to the FBI, most people on the terrorism watchlist are not Americans and they have no known connection to the U.S.

The CW card is a complete dud. That Western media are playing it shows they are also complete duds, and that their role is as sinister as mass drug-dealing.

Deliberate provocation by Western powers is the watchword. Britain this week supplying long-range missiles, as well as depleted uranium artillery shells, and drone attacks on the Kremlin are part of a sequence to solicit never-ending escalation. Accusing Russia of planning to use chemical weapons of mass destruction, as with earlier claims of Russia willing to use nuclear weapons, is all part of the orchestrated provocation.

The degradation of Western media standards has become so bad that they can get away with retailing such nonsense to consumers of this “information”.

First of all, Russia does not have any chemical weapons. As a signatory to the international treaty known as the Chemical Weapons Convention (1997), the Russian Federation verifiably destroyed all of its arsenals as per its signatory obligations. The complete decommissioning of these weapons by Russia in 2017 was verified by the Organization for the Prohibition on Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The United States is the only major power that has not fully implemented the CW convention by retaining stockpiles of these weapons.

Not only is speculation about Russian forces possibly using CW in Ukraine baseless, but the Western media are also deploying the shoddy lie used earlier against Syria. Incredibly, for anyone cognizant of the facts, such calumny is still peddled to blame the wrong people when the real perpetrator in Syria was Western-backed militants and their CIA and MI6-sponsored media accomplices, the so-called White Helmets.

Western media continue to claim that the Syrian government forces of Bashar al Assad used CW against civilians during the decade-old civil war in the Arab country. Russia supported the Syrian army to defeat NATO-backed radical extremists.

Now the Western media are moralizing that the United States and other Western powers took no punitive action against Syria over CW which, it is contended, is acting as a precedent for Russia to use these weapons in the Ukraine conflict.

Euronews quotes Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former British military intelligence officer, as saying: “The international community needs to reaffirm that any use of chemical or biological weapons would not be acceptable in any shape or form… I’m sure NATO and the West would act if they [Russia] used chemical weapons in Ukraine. But having said that they stood by when Assad used such weapons in Syria and that might embolden Putin.”

This is an outrageous lie being propagated by the Western media. It has been documented by independent investigations that the CW attacks in Syria were actually carried out by NATO-backed mercenaries in false-flag operations to provoke Western military intervention. One of those false flags in the city of Douma in April 2018 succeeded in its nefarious aims. Following the incident – dutifully amplified at the time by Western media for gaslighting the Western public – U.S. President Donald Trump bombed Syria “in revenge” along with British and French allies.

However, it turned out later that Syria, Russia and Iran were vindicated in their initial claims that the CW incidents in Syria were false-flag stunts. Indeed, it was shown that personnel in the UN watchdog, the OPCW, engaged in a cover-up to implicate the Assad government when the real perpetrator was the jihadists backed by the West, as reported by Aaron Maté and other independent journalists.

“Independent” Ukrainian “Kill List” Actually Run By Kiev, Backed by Washington

Late last year, my name was added to a blacklist published online by the Ukraine Center for Countering Disinformation. I joined over ninety others deemed to be “speakers who promote narratives consonant with Russian propaganda.“

These included Manuel Pineda and Clare Daly, both leftist Members of the European Parliament (MEP); Also counted are people on the right, such as Doug Bandow of the Cato Institute, neocon and former IDF officer Edward Luttwak, a slew of rightist MEPs; Ex CIA officer, Ray McGovern; former military and intelligence figures such as Scott Ritter and Douglas McGregor, as well as academics such as John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs. Journalists on the list included Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson and Eva Bartlett, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd, and even actor Steven Seagal.

What was my crime? It said my “pro-Russian narrative” was claiming that “NATO’s proxy war with Russia is taking place in Ukraine”. Of course, a NATO proxy war is exactly what is happening there, as this article will only further confirm.

The listing helpfully provided a link with the evidence, an article I wrote for Mayadeen English called “How disinformation works: Western intelligence agencies global war on the left.” It contained a single, 176-word paragraph on Ukraine titled “‘Russian Disinformation’ or Ukrainian lies?” It recounted several examples of Ukrainian misinformation and concluded that “Anyone who mentions any particular truth is derided for echoing Putin’s ‘talking points’.” In the event I was actually denounced as an “information terrorist” who might be guilty of “war crimes.”

Being added to the blacklist concentrates the mind wonderfully on the forces ranged against the possibility of truth and justice in the crisis-ridden West. When I was first accused, over a decade ago now, of antisemitism, my response was to intensify my research and writing activities on the organizations involved in defaming me. Since then I have produced a long catalog of work on the Zionist movement as well as on Western propaganda activities. Of course, the defamatory attacks encourage an atmosphere where social media threats can be made. But the issue of Nazism in Ukraine will be seen in retrospect as a defining issue of our era and it is important to remember that the reason I and many others are threatened by the Ukraine government and their NATO backers is because we in turn threaten to expose them for what they are: Nazi collaborators.

Back on 17 April 2015, several interested people had also tracked the original web address (psb4ukr.org) directly to nato.int without the intermediary “CDN” domain suggesting that Myrotvorets had been hosted there from near the beginning. Other IP history records show that the Operation Butterfly domain discussed above was also hosted on psb4ukr.nato.int, as were two other sites:

• zoperativ.info which we noted above was part of the Myrotvorets operation;

• informnapalm.org

The latter was described “as anti-Russian propaganda site.” While this is certainly true, that designation seriously underestimates the importance of that domain in this story, as we shall see.

A day or so after this exposure in April 2015, Oxsana Tinko registered a new site for the project: psb4ukr.ninja. Perhaps foolishly, perhaps in an attempt to lean into the disclosure, she gave her location as Estonia and her company as NATO CCDCOE – the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence. For added authenticity, she used the correct street address and phone number.

The NATO center quickly put out a statement denying any link, reading:

In fact, the Centre of Excellence has absolutely no connection with the site mentioned… Oxana Tinko … has no affiliation whatsoever with the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence… [She] appear[s] to have hijacked the Centre’s public information and we are taking steps to get the false information removed.”

It is also noteworthy, however, that a Ukraine Ministry of Defense psyops Powerpoint from 2015, leaked in the same month of that year (April), refers to the NATO cyber center as one of seven Western groups with which it had “cooperation”.

Nevertheless, the link to the NATO servers remained in the page source of the Myrotvorets websites. It was not until the NATO connection became an issue again in late August 2022 that anything was done about this. This was after Henry Kissinger had been added to the site in May. Then on August 24, independent journalist Eva Bartlett (who was named on both the Myrotvorets and Center for Countering Disinformation lists) reported that the page source code for Myrotvorets included links to resources held at psb4ukr.natocdn.net. Later, on October 14, she drew attention to the fact that Elon Musk had been listed on the site briefly after he threatened not to continue supplying his Starlink system to the Ukraine military for free. Musk responded “Is this list real?” Within eight days the page source links to natocdn.net were gone.

Vasily Nebenzya noted that now the entire military machine of the West is working to keep the war going

The West has outright acknowledged its direct involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, Russia’s UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya told a meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday.

"Recently [German Foreign Minister] Annalena Baerbock said that possible arms supplies by third countries to Russia were unacceptable because they could be equated to participation in the conflict," the permanent representative pointed out. "And what about the fact that now the entire military machine of the West is working to keep the war going?" Nebenzya asked.

"This is yet another open admission of direct Western involvement in the conflict," Nebenzya said.

Pennsylvania Settles Voter Roll Lawsuit with Judicial Watch

Here’s the latest in our many successes for cleaner elections.

Judicial Watch settled an important federal election integrity lawsuit against Pennsylvania and five of its counties. Pennsylvania admitted in court filings that it removed 178,258 ineligible registrations thanks to Judicial Watch pressure. The new settlement specifically commits Pennsylvania and five of its counties to extensive public reporting of statistics regarding their ongoing voter roll clean-up efforts for the next five years, along with a payment to us of $15,000 for legal costs and fees.

In November 2021, we filed an amended complaint in our ongoing National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) lawsuit. The amended complaint sought to compel Pennsylvania and five of its counties (Luzerne County, Cumberland County, Washington County, Indiana County and Carbon County) to comply with their voter list-maintenance obligations under Section 8 of the NVRA (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, et al. (No. 1:20-cv-00708)).

In the settlement agreement, Pennsylvania agreed to publish the total number of registered and eligible voters (active and inactive) in the five counties by June 30 of each year on the Department of State’s website, for the next five years. It also agreed to publish the total number of address confirmation notices sent to registered voters and the number returned as undeliverable or not responded to. It also will publish the total number of voters removed from the registration rolls on account of death, or for failing to respond to an address confirmation notice and failing to vote in the two most recent federal general elections.

We alleged a “multi-year failure” to take reasonable steps to maintain accurate voter registration lists as required by federal law. On April 22, 2021, we sent a notice-of-violation letter to the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth setting forth a range of violations by the Commonwealth and 27 identified counties.

In September 2021, Pennsylvania informed the court:

Upon receiving the [April 22, 2021] letter, the Secretary [of the Commonwealth] immediately took action by investigating the issues raised and working with the identified 27 counties to remove outstanding inactive voters who had failed to return a confirmation notice and did not participate in the subsequent two consecutive federal elections. With the Secretary’s assistance, the counties removed every single inactive voter eligible for removal from the rolls. The total inactive voters removed was 178,258.

Separately, a 2020 letter from us to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, led to the removal of 69,000 outdated registrations. According to a January 14, 2020, CBS news report, “This mountain of faulty registrations has now courted the attention of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.” David Voye, Elections Manager for the county told CBS, “I would concede that we are behind on culling our rolls,” and that this had “been put on the backburner.” Allegheny County later confirmed to us on January 31, 2020 that the removals had occurred.

Kentucky Democrat Lawmaker Dead at 45 After Suffering ‘Significant Medical Emergency’

Kentucky Democrat state Rep. Lamin Swann passed away at the age of 45 on Sunday after suffering a ‘significant medical emergency.’

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear asked for prayers for Rep. Lamin Swann’s family.

A 45-year-old Kentucky state House Democrat has died just days after his mother said he suffered a “significant medical emergency.”

Lamin Swann, who represented District 93 in the Lexington area, passed away Sunday after being admitted to a hospital on Tuesday last week, according to his mother Pam Dixon.

“There are no words to fully describe the grief and impossible loss that others and I feel right now after saying good-bye … to my beloved son, Lamin,” Dixon said in a statement. “Beyond our faith, what comforts us is knowing the positive and lasting impact he had on so many.”

Days earlier, Dixon said her son was receiving hospital care for a “significant medical emergency” and that “during this difficult time, those of us who love him dearly are requesting both prayers and privacy.”

Pamela Dixon, the mother of Lamin Swann, released a statement on her son’s sudden passing.

Russian Orthodox Church takes possession of treasured icon

Custody of ‘Trinity’ by Andrey Rublev has been transferred by presidential decree

The Russian Orthodox Church will take possession of one of the most cherished pieces of Russian religious art,the ‘Trinity’ icon by medieval painter Andrey Rublev. After the 1917 revolution, the new anti-clerical government decided that the icon’s place was in a museum, while in modern Russia clerics have long sought its return.

The Church announced the icon’s pending relocation on Monday, citing a decision by Russian President Vladimir Putin. It will be presented to the public for worship at the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow for one year, the brief statement said. The icon will then be moved to the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, a monastery in Moscow Region. The artwork wasoriginally painted for a cathedral at the monasteryin the first quarter of the15th century.

‘Trinity’ is arguably the most recognizable piece of Russian medieval art. It shows three sitting angelic figures, with a cup placed at the center of the table in front of them. The scene is believed to display an Old Testament episode, when three angels visited the home of Abraham before the punishment of Sodom and Gomorrah, but also represents the Christian concept of the threefold nature of God.

The icon was removed from the Church’s possession by the Bolshevik government along with the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius in 1920. Nine years later it was moved to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.

Starting in the late 1990s, ‘Trinity’ was placed on display for one day each year at a special church attached to the gallery, where it could serve its original religious purpose. Gallery workers said they were concerned that the historic piece of art could not be properly preserved outside its walls.

That notion led to a heated debate last year, when the Culture Ministry granted special permission to transfer the icon for two days to the Trinity Lavra at the request of the Church. The move came as believers marked the 600th anniversary of the translation of the relics of St. Sergius, which happened a century after his death in 1322.

The Church has pledged to observe instructions from leading Russian museums on how to best preserve the national treasure.

Experts find unknown Rembrandt paintings

The works are expected to go up for auction at a value of £5-8 million

Two portraits believed to have been painted by renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt have been discovered by experts at Christie’s auction house, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

The paintings, which had been unknown to art scholars, were reportedlyfound in the private collection of a British family, according to the FT. Christie’s auctioneers were carrying out a routine valuation when they came upon two portraits of an elderly husband and wife from Leiden, Netherlands, dated to 1635.

“I wasn’t aware of what I was going to be seeing,” said Henry Pettifer, international deputy chair of Old Master paintings at Christie’s, after discovering the works. “I dared to dream,” he added, saying it was “extraordinary to me that the pictures had never been studied before. They were completely absent from the Rembrandt literature.”

It is reported that ancestors of the family, whose identity has not been disclosed,bought the two paintings in 1824at a Christie’s auction. The portraits are believed to depict Jan Willemsz van der Pluym and his wife Jaapgen Carels – a couple said to have had family connections to Rembrandt, who painted them during a time when he was just establishing his reputation as an artist.

After discovering the paintings, Christie’s experts conducted a series of tests and analyzed the portraits to find that they showed a “virtually unbroken” line of provenance extending back to the sitters who commissioned Rembrandt.

The auction house then sent the works for further analysis to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, which specializes in Rembrandt scholarship. The museum conducted material-technical and art-historical research and confirmed that the paintings were indeed by the legendary artist.

The two 20-centimeter-high portraits are set to go up for auction at Christie’s showrooms in London on July 6, after first going on display in New York and Amsterdam. Experts believe the works to be valued at somewhere between £5-8 million ($6-10 million) for the pair.

Rembrandt is said to have created some 350 paintings during his lifetime and is considered one of the greatest Dutch painters of the Golden Age, as well as one of the greatest ever visual artists. The highest price ever fetched for his work was set in 2009, when his ‘Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo’ sold for £20.2 million at a Christie’s auction.

Biden, Obama, and the ‘Scandal-Free’ Years

We haven’t heard a whisper from Joe Biden’s old boss in months, and the reason for it is obvious.

Anyone seen Barack Obama lately? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

We here at The Patriot Post have hardly mentioned the guy’s name since just before the 2022 election, when he was doling out advice to his fellow Democrats, telling them not to be “buzzkills” and such.

We ask because we think he’s got some ‘splaining to do. “Scandal-free” Barack, you see, was the guy who selected Joe Biden to be his vice president — and then allowed the Big Guy to preside over an elaborate and lucrative influence-peddling operation right out of the White House. Just ask the Chinese. Or the Ukrainians. Or the Romanians.

Obama, of course, was also the same guy who shamelessly wrote in the most recent of his three — count 'em, three! — memoirs: “Without exception, we avoided scandal. I’d made clear at the start of my administration that I’d have zero-tolerance for ethical lapses, and people who had a problem with that didn’t join us in the first place.”

An aside about those three memoirs: In all, our 44th president has written more than 1,500 pages about His Excellence. If you’re keeping track, that’s 400 pages more than Tolstoy’s War and Peace. And the guy is clearly becoming more loquacious with age, as his most recent nod to narcissism, A Promised Land, which lists for $45.00 but can be had for a more properly priced $1.80 on Amazon, checks in at a boat-anchoring, narcolepsy-inducing 768 pages.

Our point is the guy loves to talk about himself. He always has. But he’s been strangely silent since it became clear that the first executive decision he made in his life was to select a corrupt and deceitful backslapper as his veep.

Last week, our Nate Jackson posed the beginning of an existential question: If a Biden Corruption Bombshell Drops in a Leftmedia Forest…

Well, what if? And the answer is, They’d focus on the dubious indictment of a GOP back-bencher named George Santos rather than the mountain of evidence that’s piling up against not only Hunter Biden but Joe Biden as well.

As Congressman James Comer said, Obama knew “what Joe Biden was doing the last year of his vice presidency,” but he chose to ignore it. “He knew his son [Hunter Biden] was no good, and he knew this was nothing but a political liability not just for our country, not just for the Democrat Party, but for Obama’s legacy.”

Indeed, where has the media been during all this? Why haven’t they beaten a path to Barack’s oceanfront home there on Martha’s Vineyard? Or his oceanfront home there in Hawaii? Why, it’s as if they’re afraid to ask him a simple question about his second-in-command: What did you know and when did you know it?

The answer is important, because unless he can somehow thread a needle of plausible deniability, Barack Obama will expose himself as either complicit in the corruption or utterly asleep at the switch. It’s one or the other.

Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donalds is practically begging the media to do its job: “You guys in the press, this is easy pickings. This is Pulitzer Prize stuff,” he implored.

Of course, The New York Times and The Washington Post are too busy admiring the Pulitzers they got for their holier-than-Swiss-cheese reporting on the Russia collusion hoax.

Special Counsel John Durham released a damning final report Monday after more than three years investigating the Russia collusion probe, declaring the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened up the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016.

"Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress and others and obtained by Just the News. DOJ was slated to make the report public later Monday.

The prosecutor faulted the FBI and Justice Department for failing to follow their own standards and allowing a probe to persist, including the surveillance of an American citizen without basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

"Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we concluded the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," Durham wrote.

"The FBI personnel also repeatedly disregarded important requirements when they continued to seek renewals of that FISA surveillance while acknowledging both then and in hindsight that they did not genuinely believe there was probably cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of foreign power."

The report's release touched off instant outrage and impact on Capitol Hill, where House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan tweeted he planned to summon Durham for testimony next week.

Durham specifically faulted the FBI for relying on evidence from Hillary Clinton's campaign, including the Steele dossier, saying leadership lacked the necessary distrust of politically motivated allegations.

"Our investigation also revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities. This information in part triggered and sustained Crossfire Hurricane and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller's investigation," he wrote.

"In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them, even when at about the same time the Director of the FBI and others learned of significant and potentially contrary intelligence."

“This Election Was RIGGED” – Kari Lake Attorneys Say “Clear Misconduct and Intent” Caused 260 of 446 Tabulators to Fail on Election Day – FILING INCLUDED

Kari Lake attorneys appeared in the Maricopa County Superior Court for oral argument on Friday with attorneys for Katie Hobbs, Adrian Fontes, and Maricopa County.

Judge Peter Thompson is reconsidering Count Three regarding fraudulent signature verification after the Arizona Supreme Court remanded this count back to trial. He will also make a determination on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss and Kari Lake’s Motion for Relief from Judgement to reconsider Count Two regarding illegal tabulator and printer failures at 60% of voting locations on election day.

Kari Lake is set to go back to trial for three days starting on the 17th!

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Maricopa County attorney Tim La Rue admitted Friday that signature verification is “subjective” and “something of an art” that is open to the interpretation of whatever activist reviews the signature. “It’s not really an exact science,” stated La Rue.

However, this was not the only smoking gun presented at Friday’s hearing.

Kari Lake War Room tweeted,

We caught them all A group of deeply corrupt election officials rejected the will of the people on November 8th, 2022 & worked to install @katiehobbsas Governor. This isn’t about @KariLake. This is about restoring the voices & votes of the people of Arizona.

@KariLake’s lawyer Kurt Olsen tells the court that in @maricopacounty ADMITTED that 260 of 446 tabulators FAILED testing before the Election. That’s 58% of the tabulators. On Election Day, 59% experienced severe malfunctions. Maricopa submitted a declaration by Elections Director Jarrett revealing that AFTER the October 11th certification for logic & accuracy, they realized that they didn’t configure the vote center tabulators to not accept provisional or early ballots. So they went in, rewrote the memory cards, installed what they said was previously approved election definition software. This totally reconfigured these machines. Under, A.R.S 16-449 it mandates that whenever something like that is done, the logic & accuracy test must be performed again. It states that both the automatic voting tabulating equipment and the software need to be tested. That voided all 446 tabulators. That on top of the tabulation test failures and the failures on Election Day, displays clear misconduct & intent. It also supports our claim that the election was rigged. @KariLake found the smoking gun. Wow.

AMERICAN OVERSIGHT RECEIVES INDICATION THAT DURHAM INVESTIGATION HAS CLOSED

On Friday, the Department of Justice dropped a key objection to the release of more than 4,500 pages of documents related to the Durham investigation, the Trump-era inquiry into the origins of the FBI’s probe of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. The DOJ had previously withheld the records claiming that their disclosure would interfere with an ongoing law enforcement investigation. Instead of filing an anticipated brief that would have defended the withholdings, the department withdrew its assertion of the “ongoing investigation” exemption — strongly suggesting that the Durham investigation has been closed.

The reversal was announced in a motion filed in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit American Oversight brought in August 2019 to compel the release of documents related to the Durham inquiry, including communications between Durham and senior Justice Department officials and any communications Durham or DOJ officials may have had with the Trump White House or Congress.

Statement from American Oversight Executive Director Heather Sawyer:

“The Durham investigation remains an alarming example of former President Trump’s weaponization of the Justice Department for his own political ends. Tasked with proving Trump’s allegations of a ‘deep state’ plot against him — and given nearly four years and millions of taxpayer dollars to do so — Durham found no wrongdoing. It’s long past time for the American people to see the full extent of the inquiry’s work and its influences and we look forward to the release of these records.”

American Oversight first requested the records in June 2019, after then Attorney General William Barr had instructed Durham to initiate the politicized investigation of the roots of the inquiry into potential ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign. That original FBI inquiry ultimately led to the larger investigation headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Lawyers for the Justice Department had previously argued the government could properly withhold more than 4,500 pages of records and one voicemail audio recording responsive to American Oversight’s requests under the FOIA exemption designed to protect ongoing investigations.

The New York Times reported in January that, after four years, the Durham inquiry was winding down “without uncovering anything like the deep state plot alleged by Mr. Trump and suspected by Mr. Barr.” Records previously obtained by American Oversight through the litigation revealed that Barr met frequently with Durham in the period directly after the Mueller investigation ended — 18 times in seven months — raising questions about potential political interference.

JOHN DURHAM’S POLITICIZED INVESTIGATION — AND WILLIAM BARR’S ROLE IN IT

Shortly after Mueller wrapped up his Russia investigation, the attorney general announced a new inquiry — one that would examine the origins of Mueller’s investigation and would be led by federal prosecutor John Durham. Both Barr’s previous criticism of Mueller’s probe as well as his problematic public comments since announcing the new inquiry have raised serious concerns about transparency, misconduct, and the political motivations behind Durham’s investigation.

Last updated: January 20, 2021

Even before he joined the Trump administration as attorney general, William Barr’s stance on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference was well-documented. In 2018, while a private citizen (who had also interviewed to be President Donald Trump’s personal attorney), Barr sent then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein a memo outlining his misgivings about the Mueller investigation. (According to documents obtained by American Oversight, Barr shared this memo with Rosenstein over text.)

When Mueller finished his investigation and issued a report detailing Russia’s efforts to aid Trump’s 2016 election chances, Barr wasted no time in submitting a distorted summary of Mueller’s findings and prompting the president to inaccurately declare that he had received “total exoneration.” A month later, Barr raised eyebrows when he stated during congressional testimony that “spying [on the Trump campaign] had occurred,” implying illegitimate actions on the part of the FBI. And a month after that, Barr announced that U.S. Attorney John Durham would be leading an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, which was criticized as a political effort to delegitimize Mueller’s findings.

American Oversight began looking into the Durham inquiry as part of our broader investigation into the politicization of the Justice Department. Our investigation has uncovered records showing multiple meetings between Barr and Durham around the time of the release of the Mueller report — including one just a day after Barr sent his summary to Congress. “The frequency of their face-to-face meetings during this critical time — while Mueller’s office wrapped up its work — raised questions for several former Justice Department lawyers,” wrote CNN in reporting on those records.

Additionally, the records obtained by American Oversight also reveal that Seth DuCharme, then a counselor to the attorney general, was also present at several of those meetings. DuCharme is now the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), in Brooklyn, having swapped places with Richard Donoghue. While at EDNY, an office that has been investigating multiple cases involving Trump associates, Donoghue had been tasked by Barr with overseeing all Ukraine-related investigations.

Meanwhile, Barr’s public comments about the progress of Durham’s inquiry not only fly in the face of Justice Department policy disfavoring such statements; they also make the agency’s justification for withholding documents from public release — that they are exempt from disclosure because they relate to an “ongoing investigation” — seem hypocritical and potentially political. Barr’s July 2020 refusal to commit to waiting until after the presidential election to release the findings of Durham’s probe further deepens the tinge of politicization.

American Oversight is continuing to investigate Durham’s probe and to fight for the release of documents that can provide more information on how Durham’s work was shaped. Below is a timeline of related records we’ve obtained along with public news reports.

Durham's final report is RELEASED: Prosecutor says FBI did NOT have any 'factual evidence' to investigate Trump-Russia collusion and slams 'bias' bureau for failing to properly probe Steele dossier

By Kelly Laco, Executive Editor Of Politics For Dailymail.Com

Published: 20:36, 15 May 2023 | Updated: 20:37, 15 May 2023

Special Counsel John Durham found that the FBI did not have enough 'factual evidence' to investigate allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, in scathing report obtained by DailyMail.com Monday.

The report states that 'based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.'

'FBI records prepared by Strzok in February and March 2017 show at the time of opening Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI had no information in its holding indicating that any time during the campaign anyone in the Trump campaign had been in contact with any Russian intelligence officials.'

This is a breaking news report and will be updated.

Russian Jet Intercepts French, German Aircraft Near Border; Belarus Puts Troops On High Alert

Russia's defense ministry on Monday said the military scrambled fighter jets in response to surveillance aircraft from NATO countries approaching its border. Interfax reported based on the statement that German and French aircraft approached the Russian border in the Baltic region, before being warned off by the Russian fighters.

"Two air targets were detected approaching Russia's state border," the defense ministry said. "In order to identify the targets and prevent the Russian state border being violated, an Su-27 fighter from the Baltic Fleet air force was scrambled."

"Russia said the flights were being conducted by a German P-3C patrol aircraft and a French Atlantic-2 maritime patrol jet," Reuters details further based on the statement. "After the Russian jet was scrambled and the French and German ones turned away from Russia, the Su-27 returned to base, the defense ministry said."

These types of intercepts which occur not infrequently over both the Baltic and Black sea regions have grown more dangerous in the wake of the March incident which resulted in the downing of a MQ-9 Reaper drone in the Black Sea.

"The U.S. military’s declassified 42-second color footage shows a Russian Su-27 approaching the back of the MQ-9 Reaper drone and releasing fuel as it passes, the Pentagon said," the AP described of the incident at the time. "Dumping the fuel appeared to be aimed at blinding the drone’s optical instruments to drive it from the area." The Reaper drone then crashed, also after a reported aerial collision (clipped) with one of the Russian fighters.

The Pentagon subsequently said it would temporarily restrict the extent of its flights which are near Russian border regions, given the threat.

Meanwhile Russia and its ally Belarus are taking further steps to secure sensitive border areas near Ukraine in the wake of the latest deadly aerial incidents, particularly the reported downing of four Russian military aircraft in one day, on Saturday. Crucially the downings of two Russian fighter jets and two helicopters all happened in the same region near the Ukrainian border, though precise details have remained unclear, and multiple pilot deaths had been reported.

President Alexander Lukashenko has said he's put Belarusian troops on a high state of alert over the apparent cross-border attacks, given the Byransk region borders Belarus and Ukraine. According to his words in Interfax (machine translation):

"Three days after the events near us. I mean, in the Bryansk region, when four aircraft were shot down. We were forced to respond to this. Since then, we have been on high alert - our troops," Lukashenka said during visits to the Central Command Post of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces.

"I am interested in the situation around the country. And, of course, the directions and prospects for the development of this situation. Briefly. Without intimidation. About what is happening and what we expect in the short term," the president added."

Fired ByteDance Exec Claims in Lawsuit That China Has Open Access to US User Data

ByteDance is the parent company of popular video-sharing app TikTok

A former ByteDance executive has alleged in a lawsuit filed against the tech company that Chinese regime officials had unfettered access to the company’s data when he worked there, including data stored in the United States.

Yintao Yu, 36, was the head of engineering for ByteDance’s U.S. operations from August 2017 to November 2018. He filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the company in San Francisco Superior Court on May 12.

Yu alleges that he was fired from ByteDance—the parent company of the Chinese video app TikTok—after reporting instances of alleged misconduct at the company to his bosses, who dismissed his concerns.

Yu accused ByteDance of stealing content from other platforms, such as Instagram and Snapchat. He said the tech giant served as a “propaganda tool” for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) by manipulating content.

He claimed to have witnessed ByteDance engineers manipulating the algorithm on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, to promote content expressing hatred for Japan and demote content showing support for the Hong Kong protests.

Yu said the CCP had a special unit at ByteDance’s offices in Beijing that provided guidance on how the company could advance “core Communist values.”

Yu said the regime officials had the ability to turn off the Chinese version of ByteDance’s apps and maintained access to all company data, including information stored in the United States.

Yu is seeking punitive damages, lost earnings, and 220,000 ByteDance shares that weren’t vested by the time he was fired.

ByteDance didn’t respond by press time to a request by The Epoch Times for comment.

TikTok has come under increased scrutiny in Washington because of national security concerns and the potential that U.S. users’ private information could land in the hands of the CCP, with many lawmakers advocating for a nationwide ban of the app.

ByteDance has repeatedly denied that TikTok data is handed to Beijing, with the company claiming that it stores U.S. user data on servers outside China.
