$270 Billion Tesla Took Additional Benefits From An Unnamed Government Juicing Its Financial Results

 

Here's an interesting quagmire for the SEC if they ever decide to break from their decades-long coma.

 

Apparently not happy enough with building a cash-torching $270 billion empire directly off the backs of U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidies, Tesla reportedly also decided to take payroll benefits from an unspecified government agency during the first half of the year this year "to help reduce the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on its business," the company said in its most recent 10-Q.

 

The help - wherever it came from - helped reduce the impact of Covid on the company's financial results, the company said.

 

This story breaks, of course, literally hours after Tesla's billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, took to Twitter to discourage further government aid to U.S. citizens while the topic of a second round of stimulus is currently being debated on Capitol Hill.

 

Another government stimulus package is not in the best interests of the people imo

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 24, 2020

 

Tesla's Fremont factory was shut down for about 6 weeks during the second quarter in June while Musk bickered with the state of California and Alameda County about how he should be allowed to re-open. Shortly after re-opening, a litany of coronavirus cases were discovered on the premises and employees were reportedly frightened to go back to work.

 

Tesla and SolarCity do not appear on the U.S. SBA list of those who received PPP loans from the government and Reuters was unable to determine what government agency offered Tesla assistance.

 

“As part of various governmental responses to the pandemic granted to companies globally, we received certain payroll related benefits which helped to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results,” the company had stated in its regulatory filing.

Thousands of US troops to begin moving out of Germany within weeks – Pentagon chief

 

The US will begin redeploying troops stationed in Germany within weeks, Defense Secretary Mark Esper has said. Some 12,000 troops will move – around half will be brought home, and half will move to European countries like Italy.

 

Esper told reporters on Wednesday that out of 11,900 American soldiers to be moved from Germany, around 6,400 will return to the US, and 5,600 will be redeployed to other NATO countries.

 

The troops staying in Europe will be moved to Italy and Belgium, US Air Force General Tod Wolters, commander of the US European Command, said.

 

In addition, the Pentagon will also move its headquarters from Germany’s Stuttgart to Belgium, Esper said.

 

A fighter squadron and elements of a fighter wing will be repositioned to Italy, moving them closer to the Black Sea region, and [making them] better capable of conducting dynamic force employments and rotational deployments to NATO’s southeastern flank.

 

The plans follow up on US President Donald Trump’s vow last month to pull out a portion of American troops stationed in Germany. Trump made the move after repeatedly criticizing his NATO ally for failing to increase defense spending.

 

German officials have called the move politically motivated, criticizing Trump for cutting the US military presence in the country without any consultations with Berlin. Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer argued earlier this month that NATO’s goal of increasing defense spending to two percent of GDP is losing relevance amid the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 outbreak. Last year, the German government promised to hit that spending target by 2031.

Madonna Calls COVID Dr. Stella Immanuel Her “Hero” – Claims People Are “Hiding Cure for Coronavirus” — GETS FACTCHECKED BY MOB!

 

From their website: “If Americans continue to let so-called experts and media personalities make their decisions, the great American experiment of a Constitutional Republic with Representative Democracy, will cease.”

 

Here is a list of the doctors speaking at the event today.

 

On Monday following their very popular event Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Google censored the doctors after they promoted hydroxychloroquine as a life-saving medication in treating the coronavirus.

 

On Tuesday Dr. James Todaro, M.D. (pictured above) told The Gateway Pundit that the “White Coat Summit” doctors met with Vice President Pence on Tuesday afternoon.

 

Now this…

The doctors gained a surprising supporter yesterday when Madonna posted the banned video on Instagram and called Dr. Stella Immanuel her “hero.”

Judicial Watch Forces FBI to Hand Over McCabe Text Messages in Major Court Victory

 

Judicial Watch strikes again!

 

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch forced the FBI to begin processing Andrew McCabe’s text messages for release after a federal court rejected the FBI’s request to dismiss a JW FOIA lawsuit.

 

The FOIA lawsuit was first filed on behalf of Jeffrey Danik, a retired FBI agent, in 2016.

 

For years the FBI argued former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s text messages were not subject to FOIA.

 

The FBI has located 150 text messages and 5,696 emails, however the bureau will not have a schedule to release the messages until August 28, 2020, according to Judicial Watch.

 

Via Judicial Watch:

 

 

After years of suggesting that text messages are not subject to FOIA, the FBI told the court in a recent filingthat it has located 150 text messages and 5,696 emails but will not have a schedule to release the records until August 28, 2020.

 

Judicial Watch filed the suit in 2017 in support of Danik’s October 25, 2016, and February 28, 2017, FOIA requests for records about McCabe’s “conflicts of interest” regarding his wife’s (Dr. Jill McCabe’s) political campaign and Hillary Clinton. Specifically, the two FOIA requests are for:

 

Text messages and emails of McCabe containing “Dr. Jill McCabe,” “Jill,” “Common Good VA,” “Terry McAuliffe,” “Clinton,” “Virginia Democratic Party,” “Democrat,” “Conflict,” “Senate,” “Virginia Senate,” “Until I return,” “Paris,” “France,” “Campaign,” “Run,” “Political,” “Wife,” “Donation,” “OGC,” Email,” or “New York Times.”

 

“The FBI has outrageously stonewalled for years the release of these McCabe text messages about Clinton,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “You can be sure the text messages are something the corrupted FBI doesn’t want the American people to see.”

Protesters lay siege to NYPD police commissioner’s home after viral van ‘kidnapping’ incident

 

Angry protesters have swarmed the NYPD commissioner’s home on West 73rd street in Manhattan, in response to the arrest of a protester who was bundled into an unmarked van on Tuesday.

 

Furious that one of their own had been arrested in such a way, the protest march, which the ‘kidnapped’ woman was part of, made its way to NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea’s home in the early hours of Wednesday morning, as eyewitness video from the scene purports to show.

Sirens wailed and strobe lights flickered as the mob grew restless outside the top cop’s house. The clearly aggrieved group also began banging, jeering and whistling, creating as much noise as possible.

 

Video of the arrest went viral and generated outrage online, with commenters decrying the authoritarian tactics used against protesters. The NYPD claimed that the woman bundled into the van had been “wanted for damaging police cameras during five separate criminal incidents in and around City Hall Park.”

 

The NYPD added that its warrant squad regularly uses unmarked vehicles to locate wanted suspects and that uniformed bicycle police were also on-scene while carrying out the arrest.

 

Shea also ordered the tearing down of the Occupy City Hall encampment last week, further invoking the ire of anti-police brutality protesters.

 

The commissioner on Monday decried the uptick in violence, particularly shootings, in his city, warning residents that the spike in shootings would likely continue for the rest of the summer.

 

“It’s going to take some time to address the significant uptick in violence that we see,” Shea said, citing the 15 shootings “just on Sunday” as an example.

Turkish parliament approves bill that would give Facebook & Twitter 48 hours to remove ‘offensive content’

 

Turkey’s parliament has ratified a bill compelling major social media companies to delete content deemed offensive and to open offices in the country. Global rights groups decried the "draconian" law as a danger to free speech.

 

According to the bill approved on Wednesday, social media companies with over a million daily visitors in Turkey must open offices in the country. They must likewise store data on Turkish users in Turkey, and will have 48 hours to take down any content deemed offensive by authorities. The bill also increases the fines for non-compliance to up to 10 million Turkish lira ($1.4 million).

 

If a social media company refuses to designate an official representative, a Turkish court can order a ban on advertising or reduce its bandwidth, making that social network work slower in Turkey.

 

The bill was heavily criticized by global rights groups. Amnesty International in Turkey labeled the legislation "draconian." The organization's researcher on Turkey Andrew Gardner said the proposed measures will lead to "the most brazen attack on free speech" in the country, giving authorities more powers to "censor online content."

 

Deputy program director at Human Rights Watch, Tom Porteous, had warned earlier that, if passed and signed into law, the bill will allow the government to control social media and "arbitrarily target individual users."

 

Officials in Ankara have argued that a new law is needed to curb hate speech, sexual harassment and terrorist propaganda on various social media platforms. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed his push for tougher content policing earlier this month, after several people were detained for allegedly insulting his daughter and son-in-law online.

 

"Channels, where lies, slander, personal rights attacks and reputation conspiracies are out of control, must be brought to order," Erdogan said.

Pedophile Councilman, Who Worked at a Children’s Home, Walks Free Despite Videos of Child Rape

 

On a regular basis, members of government — a government we are told exists to protect society from chaos — are caught preying on society’s most vulnerable. From heads of state to low level cops, child abusers are rife within all the ranks. All too often, when these child abusers are caught, despite overwhelming and often horrifying evidence, they walk free because of their politically connected status. This is exactly what happened with city councilman Roger Spackman.

 

Spackman was caught with over one million child porn images — including of 12-year-old girls being raped — and he walked free this week. On top of his position in the City Council, this vile member of the government also worked at a secure children’s home at the time he started collecting the enormous hoard of images.

 

According to authorities, Spackman was part of an underground internet network called The Other Place. In 2017, a police investigation found Spackman in possession of over one million images and videos at his home on a whopping 68 different electronic devices.

 

Judge Peter Johnson, of the Exeter Crown Court in England, where Spackman lives, noted that this was ‘an astonishing number’ of images and videos. Despite the judge admitting to the utterly shocking nature of Spackman’s crimes, he let him walk free.

 

Johnson sentenced Spackman to prison for ten months, however, that sentence was suspended. Instead, Spackman walked out of the courtroom a free man with just 40 days of rehab for possessing the “huge number of images.”

 

Not only is the system refusing to put this child predator away for a long time like he deserves, they actually praised his work in government while doing it.

 

The judge told the court that Spackman was a man of good character working hard in public service as a councilor in Exeter before his “fall from grace which has been dramatic.” He then went on to call Spackman the victim and blame the possession on images on the people who sent them to him, not Spackman.

 

The judge said Spackman had been abused as a child and played the role of an abused child in this forum. Apparently, this is what Spackman used as his defense — and it worked.

 

“He likes to pretend he is a young girl who will be abused. He will pretend to be a young girl,” the pedophile’s attorney, Barry White said.

NBA player under fire for saying COVID-19 is 'overblown' and being used for a 'bigger agenda'

 

'The whole world is being controlled'

 

Denver Nuggets player Michael Porter Jr. is being criticized for saying COVID-19 is "overblown" and being used as part of a bigger agenda to control people, USA Today reported.

 

Porter, 22, acknowledged the seriousness of the virus, but said he believed there is more to the pandemic than just public health concerns. Here's what Porter said during a social media Q&A session with fans:

 

Personally, I think the coronavirus is being used obviously for a bigger agenda. It's being used for population control just in terms of being able to control the masses of people. Because this virus, the whole world is being controlled. You're required to wear masks and who knows what will happen when this vaccine comes out. You might have to have the vaccine in order to travel, that'd be crazy. I've never been vaccinated in my life, I've never had any shots or anything like that. It could get crazy, but it's definitely an agenda behind everything that's going on right now, and all you can do is sit back and watch what's going on and not get too emotionally involved. But it is a serious thing, it's a real thing, but yeah, this is being overblown.

USA Today noted that the University of Missouri, where Porter attended school and played basketball for one year, requires vaccinations for measles, mumps, and rubella.

 

The comments sparked criticism from some members of the NBA media for downplaying COVID-19. Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns' mother died due to complications from the virus earlier this year.

The NBA announced Wednesday that none of the 344 players tested since July 20 tested positive for COVID-19. The entire league is living and playing in Orlando at the Disney World campus to avoid risking outside exposure to the virus.

 

Porter has been criticized for his social media behavior in the past. After George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis Police Department officers in May, Porter expressed his sorrow for Floyd's death, but also called for people to pray for the police officers instead of hating them.

Donald Trump: Feds Not Leaving Portland Until Democrats Secure the City

 

 

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the federal government would not leave Portland, Oregon, until the city was secured.

 

“They either clean out their city and do it right, or we’re going to have to do it for them,” Trump said.

 

The president spoke to reporters as he left the White House for a trip to Texas.

 

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) announced Wednesday that they had reached an agreement with the federal government for a “phased withdrawal” of federal agents from Portland.

 

But Trump said that if Democrats failed to secure the city, the federal government would act.

 

“If they don’t secure their city soon, we have no choice — we’re going to have to go in and clean it out,” he said. “We’ll do it very easily. We’re all prepared to do it.”

 

Portland has become a focal point of the president’s determination to combat violent rioters with federal law enforcement officials.

 

Attorney General Bill Barr on Tuesday defended the use of federal officers to protect and defend a federal courthouse in the city, during a hearing with House Democrats.

 

“What unfolds nightly around the courthouse cannot reasonably be called a protest; it is, by any objective measure, an assault on the government of the United States,” Barr said.

 

Federal officers have arrested or detained at least 60 people near Portland since the riots began, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney for Oregon Craig Gabriel on Saturday.

UK’s Boris Johnson: Coronavirus ‘Second Wave’ Starting in Europe

 

Britain’s prime minister has justified a new raft of quarantines and travel restrictions to some European nations, remarking that in some areas a “second wave” of the pandemic is developing.

 

The comments come days after the United Kingdom imposed a two-week quarantine for travellers returning from Spain, and as the government added other European nations Belgium and Luxembourg to the restriction list, while also considering adding the Balkan state Croatia as well.

 

The UK government was extremely slow to introduce any sort of coronavirus-related border control in the first months of the outbreak. Even as almost every other nation on earth imposed restrictions on incomers, the UK’s borders remained totally open, and travellers arriving at airports were not even screened, with approximately 100,000 people flying into the country a week in April.

 

Border controls were only imposed as the pace of the pandemic slowed worldwide.

 

Explaining why the government was now acting with haste — whereas before it had taken months to introduce sanitary border controls — Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday in comments reported by the BBC: “What we have to do is take swift and decisive action where we think that the risks are starting to bubble up again.

 

Coronavirus: International Flights Continue to Bring 100,000 Unchecked Travellers a Week to Britain https://t.co/k1QQsDfzHy

 

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) April 17, 2020

 

“Let’s be absolutely clear about what’s happening in Europe, amongst some of our European friends, I’m afraid you are starting to see in some places the signs of a second wave of the pandemic.”

 

The prime minister said the government would continue to add further nations to the quarantine list “throughout the summer” where they deemed it necessary.

 

Spain is a major tourist destination for British travellers, and the reintroduction of quarantine will be a hard blow to the nation, particularly its rural areas where tourism can be a major economic factor. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has hit back at the change, saying he was trying to persuade the UK government to roll the move back.

 

Mr Sánchez said the order was “unjust” and an “error” given how the rising number of cases in Spain was highly localised, with much of the country seeing a low rate of infection presently. The prime minister said coronavirus cases in Spain were actually presently lower than Britain.

Portland Antifa-BLM Riots: Governor, DHS Issue Conflicting Statements on Agreement to Withdraw Federal Officers

 

Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D) issued a statement Wednesday morning regarding an agreement reached with the federal government for the withdrawal of the extra federal law enforcement officers brought in to defend the Portland federal courthouse that has been targeted by Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters trying to storm and burn down the building in a two months long battle. Brown said federal officers would start withdrawing on Thursday. Brown’s statement was refuted by Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wold who said federal officers would not be leaving until the attacks on the courthouse ceased.

 

“After my discussions with VP Pence and others, the federal government has agreed to withdraw federal officers from Portland. They have acted as an occupying force & brought violence. Starting tomorrow, all Customs and Border Protection & ICE officers will leave downtown Portland…Our local Oregon State Police officers will be downtown to protect Oregonians’ right to free speech and keep the peace. Let’s center the Black Lives Matter movement’s demands for racial justice and police accountability. It’s time for bold action to reform police practices.”

 

“As I told the Governor yesterday, federal law enforcement will remain in Portland until the violent activity toward our federal facilities ends. We are not removing any law enforcement while our facilities and law enforcement remain under attack.”

Gulf Cartel Holds Father of Former Mexican Border City Mayor for Ransom

 

MATAMOROS, Tamaulipas – Mexican federal authorities are tight-lipped about the kidnapping of a former border city mayor’s father. The ransom is $2.5 million USD.

 

Late last week, gunmen kidnapped Ramiro Salazar Rodriguez, the father of former Matamoros Mayor Leticia Salazar. While officials have not publicly revealed any information about the case, Breitbart Texas confirmed that federal and state authorities are working to locate the victim. The kidnappers remain unidentified. Matamoros is the birthplace of the Gulf Cartel, which controls most of the crime in the region to include human trafficking, drug smuggling, money laundering, kidnapping, and extortion.

Portland issues ‘maximum fine’ on feds for unpermitted fence outside courthouse; bill is $192,000 ‘and counting’

 

Portland Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said Tuesday the city is fining the federal government $500 every 15 minutes – the maximum charge allowed – until it removes an unpermitted fence blocking a bike lane on Southwest Third Avenue.

Eudaly, who oversees the transportation bureau, said the government hasn’t responded to her demand to remove the fence, which surrounds a portion of the federal courthouse. She said the bill is now $192,000 “and counting.”

“We intend to collect,” Eudaly, who is running for reelection, said in a tweeted statement. She also described the forces at the courthouse as “federal occupiers.”

The fence has become the centerpiece of nightly protests as the months-long marches and demonstrations devoted to racial justice and curbing police excesses escalated in recent days with the arrival of federal law enforcement teams staged at the courthouse.

The charges come as the Trump administration formally announced Monday it would send additional federal officers to Portland. That same day, Mayor Ted Wheeler and Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty called for a “cease-fire” amid the ongoing crisis.

Eudaly said that transportation crews would normally “remove such an obstruction,” but she would not “send workers into harm’s way” to do so.

“Yes, I am afraid to direct workers to do their job and enforce our laws against the federal government—I hope that gives everyone reading this pause,” she said.

Last week, Eudaly’s transportation bureau issued a cease-and-desist letter to the federal government. She said Tuesday that she’s received no response from federal officials.

According to the bureau’s rules, it can assess a $500 fee for obstructing the public right of way without a permit and levy that charge every 15 minutes, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.

Eudaly said she opted for the maximum fine.

Ted Cruz Introduces Bill To Withhold Coronavirus Relief Funds For Religious Discrimination

 

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced legislation on Tuesday that would render state and local governments ineligible for federal coronavirus relief funds if the attorney general deems they are discriminating against religious individuals or institutions.

 

According to the text of the proposed bill, the Safeguarding Americans from Coronavirus and Religious Exercise Discrimination (SACRED) Act endeavors “to ensure that a State or local jurisdiction is ineligible to receive or use funds allocated, appropriated, or authorized to address COVID-19 if that State or jurisdiction discriminates against religious individuals or religious institutions, and for other purposes.”

The bill goes on to stipulate that a state or local governments is ineligible if it:

 

(1) enforces, or announces the intent to enforce, any law, regulation, policy, order, proclamation, or decree related to COVID-19 that discriminates against religious individuals or religious institutions; or (2) provides, or shows an intention to provide, covered funds to a separate State or local jurisdiction that is ineligible to receive or use those funds because the State or local jurisdiction has committed a violation described in paragraph (1).

 

Attorney General Bill Barr, who has repeatedly expressed his belief that religious freedom is foundational to American liberty, is to determine which governments are guilty of discrimination, the bill goes on to say.

 

Cruz’s bill comes as religious people throughout the country have increasingly resisted lingering coronavirus lockdown mandates that forbid large assembly both in houses of worship and other establishments.

 

Cruz told The Daily Caller News Foundation, “Throughout this pandemic we’ve seen numerous examples of state and local governments instituting discriminatory regulations that unfairly target people of faith and which restrict houses of worship from operating while exempting secular gatherings and operations from the same rules.”

 

“As Congress continues to provide relief funds to combat the impact of COVID-19, it is crucial that we protect the First Amendment right of religious liberty from discrimination,” Cruz continued. “That’s why I’ve introduced the SACRED Act. By blocking funds from governments that discriminate against religious organizations, we can fairly protect religious liberty and the rights of those who seek to gather together safely for worship.”

 

In April, Cruz sent a letter to Barr urging the Justice Department to remain vigilant against instances of potential religious discrimination in New York City, especially instances of anti-Semitism. After Mayor Bill de Blasio participated in dispersing a Hasidic funeral in Brooklyn, he stoked backlash when he singled out the Jewish community for rebuke, tweeting, “My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed.” Cruz wrote to Barr that singling out any religion like that “is dangerous in and of itself. But it is especially dangerous to single out the Jewish community in a city that is experiencing a substantial rise in violent anti-Semitism.”

 

When protests broke out nationwide and riots roiled New York City in June, de Blasio claimed such demonstrations were different than the religious gatherings that had been shut down. “When you see a nation, an entire nation, simultaneously grappling with an extraordinary crisis seeded in 400 years of American racism,” he said during press conference. “I’m sorry, that is not the same question as the understandably aggrieved store owner or the devout religious person who wants to go back to services.”

UK Government signs '£500million' deal with drug giants GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi for 60million doses of fourth potential coronavirus vaccine - even though it hasn't been tested on humans yet

 

Agreement has been inked with GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi Pasteur firms

The deal orders 60million doses of a potential vaccine for deadly Covid-19

Priority groups will get the medicine first if it is proved to be safe and effective

Trials will start in September as the Government urges people to sign up

 

Ministers have today signed a multi-million pound deal with pharmaceutical giants GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi Pasteur for 60million doses of another potential Covid-19 vaccine.

 

Number 10 has now secured four different types of experimental coronavirus jabs, giving the UK access to a total of 250million doses — enough to allow everyone in Britain to have four each, if they work.

 

Scientists have yet to trial GSK/Sanofi's vaccine on humans and studies to prove it works won't begin until September. Other contenders purchased by Number 10 have already shown signs of promise in tests.

 

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said the jab — bought in a deal rumoured to cost £500million — could be given to high-risk Britons as early as the first half of next year, if it passes trials.

 

Britain last month began shoring up stocks of experimental jabs all over the world in its spread-betting approach in the hope that at least one of them will pay off.

 

Health chiefs hope the Oxford University vaccine it has agreed to buy — considered one of the front-runners in the global race to end the pandemic — could even be ready before the end of the year.

Communist Power Struggle to Take Down Xi Jinping

 

China has been hit by the coronavirus, the US China trade war, massive flooding, and that could mean trouble for Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping. Years of internal power struggles and factional infighting are heating up as Xi continues an “anti-corruption campaign” to purge his political opponents in a faction tied to former leader Jiang Zemin, the mastermind of the persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual practice. Xi is planning an upcoming purge of the PLAC, the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. But there’s also growing tension between Xi and Premier Li Keqiang over the Chinese economy. You know what this means? Another episode of General Hostilities

 

Jake, Xi Jinping IS the CCP. Just like in other countries, there is more than one political faction.

 

The other faction in Communist China is what used to be called the Jiang faction, or the Shanghai gang. Jiang was the former president mayor of Shanghai and then president (dictator) of the Communist Party, and he controlled the next president, Hu Jintao. When Xi Jinping became president, he initiated a huge ‘anti-corruption’ campaign during which major officials were imprisoned, and some even executed. These were Jiang supporters. Xi went clear down to the lowest levels of government and purged Jiang supporters, replaced them with Xi supporters, as well as replacing officials at the higher levels. I read that a million or more supporters of Jiang were taken down. There were still areas, particularly the northeast provinces (former Manchuria) where Jiang’s old clique remained entrenched. Now the old Jiang faction and others are opposing Xi. They are all Communists, and purges are a Communist tool to keep the party alive.

 

As long as the Communists rule China, there will be oppression.

 

I believe you will know the Communists have collapsed when the Falun Gong prisoners are released, as their core principals of truthfulness, kind heartedness, and forbearance are directly opposite of Communist principals. FG’s strength among the Chinese people was a terrible threat, so dictator Jiang initiated a purge of his own to destroy the belief, imprisoning them and putting them to slave labor in prison camps and instigating the organ harvesting. This is why you can use their release from prison as an indication that the CCP has collapsed.

Congressional Testimony: Two Children Dead in Earlier Corona Vaccine Trials

 

In this clip, esteemed coronavirus vaccine expert Doctor Peter Hotez, who works with the Gates Foundation, testifies before U.S. Congress on March 5, 2020 about the risks and potential deaths of coronavirus vaccine. Please save this clip and share it widely.

 

MARCH 5, 2020 | CLIP OF HOUSE SCIENCE, SPACE, AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE HEARING ON CORONAVIRUS

 

Dr. Peter Hotez Addressing House Science, Space, and Technology Committee Hearing on Coronavirus, March 5, 2020

 

Excerpt:

 

“When I say scientific challenge, one of the things we are not hearing a lot about is potential safety problems of coronavirus vaccines. This was first found in the 1960s with respiratory interstitial virus vaccines done in Washington with the NIH and Children’s National Medical Center. Some of those kids who got the vaccine did worse and I believe there were two deaths. What happens with certain types of respiratory virus vaccine, to get immunized and when you are exposed to the virus you get this paradoxical enhancement phenomenon. We don’t entirely understand the basis of it, that we recognize there’s a real problem with certain respiratory virus vaccines. That killed the program for decades and now the Gates foundation is taking it up again, but then we start developing coronavirus vaccines. We noticed laboratory animals that they started to show some of the same pathology that resembled what it happened years earlier. This is going to be problematic…”

 

On July 26, 2020, Gates was questioned about the very high rate of side effects in the recent vaccine trials, but he tried to minimize the issue.
