IDF Thwarts Alleged Hezbollah Infiltration, But Did It Really Happen?

On July 27th, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported of a great success of thwarting an infiltration by Hezbollah in northern Israel.

Following a security incident in northern Israel, Israeli residents along the Blue Line have been told:

– To stay in their homes

– To avoid any activity in open areas

– That roads in the area are closed

More details to come.

— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) July 27, 2020

According to Israeli media, No Israeli soldiers were injured, and the IDF denied Lebanese media reports that a Kornet anti-tank guided missile was fired at an Israeli tank on Mount Dov.

IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said at least some members of the Hezbollah cell fled back to Lebanon, but added:

“We don’t know their conditions for sure at this point.”

The alleged Hezbollah assault was in retaliation for the death of one of its fighters in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Syria.

Zilberman said the military did not yet know if Hezbollah would consider this failed attack to be a sufficient form of revenge, but that the IDF would remain on high alert for the time being.

According to Zilberman the Hezbollah cell entered a few meters into Israeli territory, heading toward a military position on Mount Dov, before troops opened fire with machine guns, tanks and artillery cannons, driving them back into Lebanese territory.

The IDF’s side of the story was entirely debunked just hours later, showing that Israel essentially assaulted their own fence.

The IDF’s two Merkava battle tanks also withdrew as soon as they saw Lebanese troops positioned on Lebanon’s side of the border.

Israeli Prime Minister Threatens Hezbollah After Incident On Contact Line With Lebanon

After an apparent exchange of fire on the Israel/Lebanon border, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese Hezbollah fighters not to test the resolve and capabilities of the Israeli military, and Defence Minister Benny Gantz has promised a powerful response to any Hezbollah attack.

Although the other details of the incident remain in doubt, Israeli forces opened fire on the disputed Shebaa Farms area along the Lebanese border on Monday. They claim that they were responding to an infiltration attempt by a Hezbollah “terrorist cell” from Lebanon.

Al Jazeera reports that:

A resident of the town of Khiam, 5km (2 miles) from Lebanon’s southern border, told Al Jazeera she heard about two dozen explosions and witnessed large columns of smoke rising near Mount Hermon on Monday.

An Israeli shell smashed in a civilian home, narrowly missing a family in the house at the time, but nobody was hurt.

“The shelling that took place today on the village of Al-Habbariyeh and damage to a civilian’s house will not be tolerated at all,” Hezbollah said.

Hezbollah officials denied an infiltration attempt, saying in a statement that Israeli forces had taken “nervous action” and that there were no operatives present in the area when the Israeli forces opened fire.

All the enemy media claims about thwarting an infiltration operation from Lebanese territory into occupied Palestine … is absolutely not true,” a Hezbollah statement said.

The armed group attributed the incident to “the state of terror experienced by the Zionist occupation army and its settlers at the Lebanese border” over an expected response to the killing of the Hezbollah fighter. LINK

In a televised address from Tel Aviv on Monday evening, Prime Minister Netanyahu insisted that Hezbollah were lying and the infiltration attempt was genuine.

Netanyahu warned the Shi’ite military group that it is “playing with fire,” and stated that “Hezbollah and Lebanon bear full responsibility for this incident and any attack from Lebanese territory against Israel.”

Defense Minister Benny Gantz – appearing alongside the PM – threatened that any operation against Israel will draw a “powerful” military response. LINK

Whether the Lebanese militants actually crossed the border or not on Monday, Israel has been preparing for a confrontation for several days now. Reinforcements were rushed to the frontier last week after Israeli warplanes killed a Hezbollah fighter in Damascus, Syria, an act that the organization has vowed to avenge.

On July 26, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) deployed M109 Doher howitzers near the separation line with Lebanon. Earlier, the 13th “Gideon” Infantry Battalion of the IDF’s 1st “Golani” Brigade reinforced troops near the border. The number of Israeli Hermes 450 drone reconnaissance flights over southern Lebanon has also increased significantly, and additional IDF units have been deployed around the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

Israel and Hezbollah last engaged in open war along the border in 2006, with the month-long conflict killing more than 1,100 Lebanese and 165 Israelis. Since then, sporadic exchanges of fire have broken out, most recently in September 2019, when Hezbollah launched a volley of rockets into an Israeli military base in retaliation for an Israeli drone attack. Israel responded with an artillery barrage, and no casualties on either side were confirmed.

Tech CEOs In The Hot Seat: What To Expect From Tomorrow's Congressional Testimony

On Wednesday, the CEOs of Amazon, Google, Apple and Facebook will testify before House lawmakers over allegations of anticompetitive practices. For members of the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, it will be their sixth hearing in their investigation into Silicon Valley antitrust accusations.

As Politico notes, "The session also arrives as scrutiny of the behemoths is surging across the globe, including an expected Justice Department antitrust case against Google and the recent launch of two European probes of potential anticompetitive behavior by Apple."

It will also mark the first time Jeff Bezos, the world's richest person, has offered testimony before Congress - albeit via videoconference, while House Judiciary lawmakers will attend both virtually and in-person in a hybrid format, according to the report.

That said, tomorrow's 'showdown' could go one of two ways; fireworks, or snoozefest. If House Democrats jump off script from antitrust issues and press the CEOs over online hate speech, or if GOP members drill them on anti-conservative bias, things could get interesting.

Even the format of the questioning — four elite CEOs, all appearing by videoconference because of the coronavirus pandemic — could make it harder for the members to land a glove on the companies’ varied issues, ranging from Google's and Facebook’s command of digital ad revenue to Apple's control of its App Store and questions about whether Amazon misled Congress. -Politico

"The discussion will go well beyond antitrust," said Carl Szabo, VP and General Counsel of NetChoice, a tech trade group which counts Google, Amazon and Facebook as members. "It will go into issues of election interference, or conservative bias, or any of the other issues de jour on which we like to saddle tech."

Here's what to expect assuming things go according to plan:

Lawmakers will likely question Bezos about whether an Amazon lawyer misled the Judiciary Committee last summer by claiming the company doesn't use data collected from third-party vendors to launch competing products of its own.

Registered Offender Who Claims To Be HIV Positive Arrested After Filming Sex With 15-Year-Old Babysitter, Investigators Say

ORLANDO – A Florida man was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison Monday for sexually exploiting two minors and committing the offenses while required to register as a sex offender.

The court also ordered Simmerman to forfeit the electronic device he used to commit the offenses. Simmerman pleaded guilty January 27, 2020.

According to court documents, in 2013 Todd Joseph Simmerman, 30, Titusville, pleaded guilty to traveling to meet a child to engage in unlawful sexual conduct, after using a computer to lure a child, in violation of Florida law. As part of his sentence, he was required to register as a sex offender.

Six months after completing his state sentence, Simmerman met hired a 15-year-old to babysit his children at his computer repair shop. He later contacted the girl on Snapchat and enticed the child to engage in sexual activity. The child victim introduced Simmerman to a 15-year-old friend and Simmerman also preyed upon that child. Simmerman used his cellphone to record his sexually abusive encounters with both victims, which occurred over a period of about five months, until his arrest.

Court documents show that Simmerman wrote a judge, “While incarcerated I have found out that I am HIV positive, a horrible blow that has served to change my life.”

“This repeated child predator will spend the rest of his natural life in prison, thanks to HSI special agents and our partners at the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office,” said HSI Orlando Assistant Special Agent in Charge David J. Pezzutti. “While we cannot undo the damage of his horrible crimes, we hope that this sentence helps with the healing process for his victims.”

This investigation was conducted under HSI’s Operation Predator, an international initiative to protect children from sexual predators. Since the launch of Operation Predator in 2003, HSI has arrested more than 25,000 individuals for crimes against children, including the production and distribution of online child exploitation material, traveling overseas for sex with minors, and sex trafficking of children. In fiscal year 2019, more than 3,500 child predators were arrested by HSI special agents under this initiative and more than 1,000 victims identified or rescued.

Fraudsters Thwarted From Stealing $44 Million of Unemployment Stimulus Money

PHILADELPHIA – Federal and state law enforcement, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, and together with measures implemented by US Bank, have successfully prevented over $44 million from reaching criminals who attempted to steal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) funds in Pennsylvania. The U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General (DOL-OIG) utilized sophisticated data analytics to identify the fraudulent claims.

PUA is funded entirely by federal dollars under the CARES Act and the program is administered by the state. Data analytics enabled DOL-OIG and the other law enforcement agencies to trace clusters of fraudulent claims for PUA funds back to the same criminals. The Department of Labor & Industry then used the information to stop the payment of PUA funds to those criminals.

The outstanding work of law enforcement saved over $28 million in PUA funds that would have been paid to fraudsters by check or direct deposit. In addition, US Bank administers the Pennsylvania debit card program used to make some PUA payments. US Bank applied analytics to identify an additional $16 million in fraudulent claims, and those funds will be returned to the Pennsylvania Department of Treasury.

Many of the fraudsters stole identities of real Pennsylvanians to file their fraudulent claims. Law enforcement’s ability to track the fraud was greatly enhanced by Pennsylvanians who came forward and reported that they had received PUA funds but had never applied for them. Anyone who receives state unemployment compensation funds that they did not apply for, whether by check, direct deposit or debit card, are probably victims of identity theft. If you find yourself in that position, U.S. Attorney McSwain strongly encourages you to report it immediately to the Department of Labor & Industry and return the funds.

The Secret China Iran Oil Deal At The Heart Of One Belt One Road Project

A secret oil deal between China and Iran at the heart of the One belt One Road project will change the geopolitical balance of power in the Middle East. The manufacturing products created by utilizing cheap Iranian resources will be used to crack the western markets through the China-Iran axis along with unrestricted access to Iranian military bases. As always Indian policymakers have been caught in this changing dynamics leaning heavily on one player after other without a clear vision of its own.

The Secret China Iran Deal

In 2016 an agreement was signed to signify the 25-year China-Iran strategic partnership. So to take this forward, last August, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Zarif, paid a visit to his Chinese counterpart, Wang Li, to present a roadmap.

Though the information in the updated agreement was not revealed, last week former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a clear hint to some secret parts of this deal. He stated that:

“It is not valid to enter into a secret agreement with foreign parties without considering the will of the Iranian nation and against the interests of the country and the nation, and the Iranian nation will not recognize it.”

The 12% Discount

This deal, signed just last year states that China will invest US $280 billion in expanding Iran’s oil, gas, and petrochemicals sectors. This amount being given by China will be front-loaded into the first five-year period of the new 25-year deal, and further investments will be available in each subsequent five year period, provided that both parties agree.

Another US $120 billion of investment will be for upgrading Iran’s transport and manufacturing infrastructure, this amount will increase in each subsequent period, should both parties agree.

Just to begin with, Chinese companies will bid on any stalled or uncompleted – oil, gas, and petrochemicals projects in Iran. China is granted the offer to buy any and all oil, gas, and petchems products at a minimum guaranteed discount of 12 per cent.

One Belt One Road

The 25-year deal outlines that China will help in the build-out of Iran’s core infrastructure, which will be in alignment with China’s key geopolitical multi-generational project, ‘One Belt, One Road’ (OBOR).

China aims to utilize the cheap labour available in Iran to build factories with master infrastructure. These will be financed, designed, and overseen by big Chinese manufacturing companies. The final manufactured products will then go to the Western markets through new transport links, also planned, financed, and managed by China.

There are also plans to establish a Tehran-Qom-Isfahan high-speed train line.

Jim Jordan Opening Statement: “They Are Attacking Bill Barr” to Protect Themselves From “Obama Spying Operations”…

During his opening statement House Judiciary Ranking Member Jim Jordan outlines the real motive for Democrats to go on the attack against U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr.

As Jordan notes the political left writ large is desperate; the biggest scandal in American political history is staring them in the face; the leftists have no option except to attempt to attack the person who would hold the key to accountability. WATCH:

No jab, no job? NEJM says everyone needs to be vaccinated for coronavirus in order to go to work

A new paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) attempts to make the case that people who refuse a future vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) should no longer be allowed to work and make a living.

In order to enforce compliance with potential vaccine mandates, the paper, entitled, “Ensuring Uptake of Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2,” states that “substantive penalties” need to be imposed, including loss of employment.

As opposed to fines or criminal penalties, suspension of employment is supposedly a “less coercive” way of achieving compliance, the paper contends, adding that “state mandates should not be structured as compulsory vaccination (absolute requirements): instead, noncompliance should incur a penalty.”

“Nevertheless, because of the infectiousness and dangerousness of the virus, relatively substantive penalties could be justified, including employment suspension or stay-at-home orders for persons in designated high-priority groups who refuse vaccination,” the paper goes on to state.

“Neither fines nor criminal penalties should be used, however; fines disadvantage the poor, and criminal penalties invite legal challenges on procedural due-process grounds. Both are bad public health policy for a Covid-19 vaccine because they may stoke distrust without improving uptake.”

This would seem to align with President Donald Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” initiative to unveil a fast-tracked vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) by the end of 2020. Trump has stated that this vaccine will not be mandatory, but perhaps he has a similar plan in mind as the one outlined in this paper to withdraw access to work as a “penalty” for refusing to “voluntarily” get jabbed.

Google Announces New ‘Grace Hopper’ Undersea Cable Project to Link US With UK, Spain

Google, one of the largest tech companies in the world, announced Tuesday that it would be starting a new undersea cable initiative intended to strengthen the digital connection between the US, UK and Spain.

Although the new undersea project isn’t expected to be completed until 2022, Google anticipates that the new project will mark many firsts for the big tech company as it sets out on the two-year enterprise.

According to Bikash Koley, vice president of Google Global Network, the initiative marks Google’s first private investment in a private subsea cable route to the UK, and its first-ever cable route to Spain.

The Tuesday-issued release on the development notes that the undersea cable, which has been named after computer science engineer Grace Hopper, will connect New York to Bude, a seaside resort town in England’s Cornwall county that sits at a distance of more than 3,000 miles from the Empire State. A second, split connection will go from New York to Bilbao, Spain.

“Once commissioned, the Grace Hopper cable will be one of the first new cables to connect the US and UK since 2003, increasing capacity on this busy global crossroads and powering Google services like Meet, Gmail and Google Cloud,” reads the blog post.

“The Spanish landing point will more tightly integrate the upcoming Google Cloud region in Madrid into our global infrastructure.”

“Grace Hopper will incorporate novel optical fiber switching that allows for increased reliability in global communications, enabling us to better move traffic around outages,” the announcement states, noting that the project will mark the “world’s first submarine cable” to incorporate “innovative switching architecture into the system.”

The Grace Hopper cable, due to be built by New Jersey-based provider SubCom, is expected to be fitted with 16 fiber pairs that will ultimately be able to transport between 340 and 350 terabytes of information per second, Business Insider reported.

At present, Google has three other subsea cable projects, with the Curie, which runs from the US’ West Coast to Panama and Chile, being the only one that is officially completed. The Dunant cable - stretching from the US to France - is expected to be finished later this year, whereas the Equiano cable may be finalized in 2021.

Unlike Google’s other cable initiatives, the Equiano cable route, which will run from Portugal to South Africa, will be fitted with multiple branching units in the event that additional connection points are made to interested African nations. The cable currently has a sole branching unit in Lagos, Nigeria.

Telegram CEO Exposes Seven Myths Apple is Using to Trick Consumers

The Cupertino-based company argues that its App Store "tax" is comparable to those used in "similar" platforms. However, the creator of one of the most popular messengers claims that this is not quite the case when it comes to Apple devices.

The founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has expressed strong criticism of Apple's practice of taking a 30% cut from all purchases in its App Store, which, as he believes, negatively affects both app creators and users.

In a Telegram post, Durov highlighted seven "myths" that the company "uses" to justify the tax and explained why Apple customers should not listen to them, but instead stand up to the Cupertino-based company. Here are seven myths about the App Store "tax" that have been busted by Durov:

30% to Keep App Store Running

The Telegram CEO dismissed the claim that the 30% cut helps Apple run the App Store platform, arguing that the tech giant rakes in billions of dollars from this tax, while maintaining that the store costs only tens of millions at the most. He referred to his experience as the CEO of a platform that hosts and moderates far more extensive amounts of content than Apple has in its store.

30% to Keep New iPhones Coming

The idea that the money earned via the App Store "tax" is being used to develop new iPhones and other devices was similarly dismissed by Durov. He insists that the Cupertino-based tech giant is sitting on "$200 billion in cash", while not investing it in research and development and not presenting any innovative products recently.

You Can Compete if You Don't Want to Pay

The Telegram founder further argues that the myth that any company can build a rival OS if they don't like the idea of paying a cut to Apple does not hold water. Durov explains that while making a new OS is not a problem, attracting a user audience is trickier. He elaborated that users won't choose a new platform that lacks third-party apps, which, in turn, won't be created by software developers as long as the platform remains unpopular, thus creating a "vicious circle" - one that even a giant like Microsoft couldn't break back in the day.

LancetGate: “Scientific Corona Lies” and Big Pharma Corruption. Hydroxychloroquine versus Gilead’s Remdesivir

Minor updates and additions on July 6, 2020

Introduction

There is an ongoing battle to suppress Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a cheap and effective drug for the treatment of Covid-19. The campaign against HCQ is carried out through slanderous political statements, media smears, not to mention an authoritative peer reviewed “evaluation” published on May 22nd by The Lancet, which was based on fake figures and test trials.

The study was allegedly based on data analysis of 96,032 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between Dec 20, 2019, and April 14, 2020 from 671 hospitals Worldwide. The database had been fabricated. The objective was to kill the Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) cure on behalf of Big Pharma.

While The Lancet article was retracted, the media casually blamed “a tiny US based company” named Surgisphere whose employees included “a sci-fi writer and adult content model” for spreading “flawed data” (Guardian). This Chicago based outfit was accused of having misled both the WHO and national governments, inciting them to ban HCQ. None of those trial tests actually took place.

While the blame was placed on Surgisphere, the unspoken truth (which neither the scientific community nor the media have acknowledged) is that the study was coordinated by Harvard professor Mandeep Mehra under the auspices of Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) which is a partner of the Harvard Medical School.

When the scam was revealed, Dr. Mandeep Mehra who holds the Harvey Distinguished Chair of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital apologized:

I have always performed my research in accordance with the highest ethical and professional guidelines. However, we can never forget the responsibility we have as researchers to scrupulously ensure that we rely on data sources that adhere to our high standards.

It is now clear to me that in my hope to contribute this research during a time of great need, I did not do enough to ensure that the data source was appropriate for this use. For that, and for all the disruptions – both directly and indirectly – I am truly sorry. (emphasis added)

Mandeep R. Mehra, MD, MSC (official statement on BWH website)

But that “truly sorry” note was just the tip of the iceberg. Why?

Studies on Gilead Science’s Remdesivir and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) Were Conducted Simultaneously by Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH)

>>10105628

An independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) overseeing the trial met on April 27 to review data and shared their interim analysis with the study team. Based upon their review of the data, they noted that remdesivir was better than placebo from the perspective of the primary endpoint, time to recovery, a metric often used in influenza trials. Recovery in this study was defined as being well enough for hospital discharge or returning to normal activity level.

Preliminary results indicate that patients who received remdesivir had a 31% faster time to recovery than those who received placebo (p<0.001). Specifically, the median time to recovery was 11 days for patients treated with remdesivir compared with 15 days for those who received placebo. Results also suggested a survival benefit, with a mortality rate of 8.0% for the group receiving remdesivir versus 11.6% for the placebo group (p=0.059). (emphasis added)

In the NIH’s earlier February 21, 2020 report (released at the outset of the study), the methodology was described as follows:

… A randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational antiviral remdesivir in hospitalized adults diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) …

Numbers. Where? When?

The February 21 report confirmed that the first trial participant was “an American who was repatriated after being quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship” that docked in Yokohama (Japanese Territorial Waters). “Thirteen people repatriated by the U.S. State Department from the Diamond Princess cruise ship” were selected as patients for the placebo trial test. Ironically, at the outset of the study, 58.7% of the “confirmed cases” Worldwide (542 cases out of 924) (outside China), were on the Diamond Cruise Princess from which the initial trial placebo patients were selected.

Where and When: The trial test in the 68 selected sites? That came at a later date because on February 19th (WHO data), the US had recorded only 15 positive cases (see Table Below).

“A total of 68 sites ultimately joined the study—47 in the United States and 21 in countries in Europe and Asia.” (emphasis added)

In the final May 22 NEJM report entitled Remdesivir for the Treatment of Covid-19 — Preliminary Report:

There were 60 trial sites and 13 subsites in the United States (45 sites), Denmark (8), the United Kingdom (5), Greece (4), Germany (3), Korea (2), Mexico (2), Spain (2), Japan (1), and Singapore (1). Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either remdesivir or placebo. Randomization was stratified by study site and disease severity at enrollment

The Washington Post applauded Anthony Fauci’s announcement (April 29):

“The preliminary results, disclosed at the White House by Anthony S. Fauci, … fall short of the magic bullet or cure… But with no approved treatments for Covid-19,[Lie] Fauci said, it will become the standard of care for hospitalized patients …The data shows that remdisivir has a clear-cut, significant, positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery,” Fauci said.

2/2

why doesn't this circus go both ways?

When do the corrupt get questioned?
