Former Chief of Police: The cop-bashing New York Times just published a pro-pedophile story – and we’re ok with this?

From the same rag that brought us the 1619 project, we now have the New York Times making the claim that showing up to the door of a 13-year-old girl with a pack of condoms is apparently acceptable conduct, which they apparently believe does not warrant any legal consequences for the pervert. Seriously.

Conservatives have warned for some time that the end game for liberals is basically anything goes, good time rock and roll.

We’ve reported on these pages of some in academia making the argument that pedophilia should be treated as a psychological illness and not prosecuted as a crime. The New York Times, which basically denied the Holocaust ever existed is now making the case that pedophilia is really not all that big a deal.

In 2014, the opinion pages of the paper had an article by Margo Kaplan, who was a law professor at Rutgers School of Law in Camden, who made just that claim. Pedophilia is a disorder, not a crime.

Kaplan made the claim in the piece that pedophilia is not the same as child molestation. If you are interested in examining that mindset, we invite you to read the piece. Suffice it to say, Kaplan said that one can “live with pedophilia and not act on it.” The claim is that pedophilia is a “status” and not an act.”

According to the Post Millennial, quoting from the Times piece, in referring to the above sting, where a man indeed did show up at the home of what he believed was a 13-year-old, it reads:

“Was this an elaborate game? Again she claimed to be 13. The photo seemed to tell a different story and the gaming chair she was seated in looked too expensive for a kid. She used slang a 13-year-old probably wouldn’t know, like “FTP”—“fuck the police”—that originated in ‘80’s hip-hop. The vulgarities and snide tone seemed too adult. Her texts were full of “lol”s. Was she an immature teenager? Or a sly adult?

“It was a 20-minute drive to the house in suburban Vancouver. After stopping for condoms, he arrived at 7 p.m., three and a half hours after their first emails. She came to the door just as she’d said, in torn jeans and gray sweatshirt, as beautiful as her photo. She didn’t look 13 at all, more like she was in her 20s.”

According to the Times Magazine article, the suspect was referred to as Jace Hambrick, who is apparently claiming he is innocent. That is because most perverts show up to a home where they believe a 13-year-old is waiting, while he is packing condoms.

‘The Gov. Killed Nana’ Banner Mocking Andrew Cuomo Flies over New York Beaches

A banner mocking Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo flew over several of New York’s most popular beaches Labor Day weekend.

The banner, towed behind a small propeller plane, read like a shoreline advertisement, except with the words, “THE GOV KILLED NANA.”

The banner was seen flying over several beaches along Long Island and New York City and appeared to reference Cuomo’s March executive order forcing nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients.

His executive order led many to believe that it was at least partially the cause for the spike in nursing home coronavirus deaths in New York.

One person visiting Rockaway Beach for the day told the New York Post that when the plane went by people applauded the sign and took pictures.

“The people were going crazy,” the beachgoer said. “[Cuomo] is nothing but a liar, condescending and miserable person. His carelessness caused the death of a lot of people unnecessarily.”

Cuomo’s spokesperson Rich Azzopardi brushed off the stunt as nothing more than something concocted by a group of “conspiracy nuts.”

“Everyone knows this governor has worked day in and day out to protect all New Yorkers and that’s why these sad politically motivated lies always land with a thud and I have no comment on how conspiracy nuts want to waste their money,” he said in a statement.

Buttigieg, former officials added to Biden's transition team

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden added several former Obama administration officials as well as former South Bend, Ind. mayor and presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg to his transition team.

According to multiple media outlets, former National Security advisor Susan Rice and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates are joining the transition team. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and Jeff Zients, former President Obama’s National Economic Council director, will also reportedly join the transition team as co-chairs.

Biden campaign adviser Anita Dunn, Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) and former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy are also reportedly joining the transition team. Other transition members include Tony Allen, president of Delaware State University, and Teresa Romero, president of the United Farm Workers.

“We are preparing for this transition amid the backdrop of a global health crisis and struggling economy,” former Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.), who is leading the transition team, told Reuters. “This is a transition like no other, and the team being assembled will help Joe Biden meet the urgent challenges facing our country on day one.”

Over the summer Biden announced some members of the transition team, including Yohannes Abraham, who held several senior roles in the Obama administration, and Avril Haines, the former deputy director of the CIA.

Gautam Raghavan, currently chief of staff to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), who endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the primary, is also on the transition team. Biden is also hiring Julie Siegel, who served as a top legal adviser to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

The Biden campaign and transition team did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Hill.

Live Updates: WikiLeaks Founder Assange's Extradition Hearings Resume

The extradition hearing against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange resumed on Monday, at the Central Criminal Court in London.

The hearing was originally planned for 18 May, but Assange's defence team asked to reschedule it amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The court, however, ruled out his release on bail, despite the high risks of contracting the coronavirus at the prison in which he is being held.

Assange was arrested in London in April 2019 and sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for jumping bail back in 2012 when he took refuge inside the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faced sexual assault charges, and possible extradition to the United States.

The whistleblower has been indicted by the US Department of Justice on 18 charges, regarding violations under the Espionage Act. If convicted of these charges, the WikiLeaks founder faces up to 175 years in prison.

Pelosi’s son tied to fraud ring that tried to sell Nancy’s solar tax credits for millions

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. endorsed, promoted, and travelled to Ukraine to represent a tax-exempt scam operation called the World Sports Alliance. Pelosi Jr.’s close business associate Asa Saint Clair, who ran the World Sports Alliance, has recently been charged with wire fraud and is facing 20 years in prison. In the Department of Justice indictment of Asa Saint Clair, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman stated, “As alleged, Asa Saint Clair used World Sports Alliance, a sham affiliate of the United Nations, as a vehicle to defraud lenders” with a fake cryptocurrency called IGObit. Now, NATIONAL FILE has obtained records showing that Pelosi Jr. officially promoted the fraudulent IGObit currency. NATIONAL FILE has also obtained records showing that World Sports Alliance was selling solar tax credits from a federal program that Nancy Pelosi pushed through Congress.

NATIONAL FILE has interviewed two Pelosi Jr. associates who have both been interviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding Pelosi Jr.’s business practices, prompting Pelosi Jr. to go into hiding. These associates include Naveen Singha, who employed Pelosi Jr. as a consultant, and Karena Feng, an ex-companion of the speaker’s son who is now fighting to get her children back after Pelosi Jr. used Child Protective Services (CPS) to get her children placed in foster care as part of an intimidation campaign to coerce Feng to give Pelosi Jr. her property.

Feng has known the Pelosi family for years and frequently treated Nancy Pelosi at her spa. Naveen Singha confirms to NATIONAL FILE that Pelosi Jr. did energy business in Ukraine during the period that Singha knew him, and that Pelosi Jr. offered him a flight on Air Force One with President Obama as part of a delegation to India in exchange for $30,000. The report below is extensively documented with records compiled over the past year, as NATIONAL FILE has worked to expose the Pelosi family’s global business dealings, including Pelosi Jr.’s work for related energy companies called Viscoil and NRGLab, which did business in Ukraine and employed Russians to influence American politicians.

WORLDWIDE SCAM

Paul Pelosi Jr. travelled to Kiev, Ukraine in July 2017 in his capacity as executive director of the Corporate Governance Initiative, a position that he accepted months earlier in February 2017.

Pelosi Jr. said that he was in Ukraine to discuss a youth soccer partnership with the government, then led by former Ukraine president Petro Poroshenko. The American Mirror, which flagged Pelosi Jr.’s appearance in 2017, preserved a clip of Pelosi Jr. on the Ukrainian station following the video’s removal from YouTube. Pelosi Jr. let slip that he was working in Ukraine with a group called the “World Sports Alliance.”

The Democrats have spent four years fantasizing about assassinations and carrying out acts of political violence

The Democratic Party has lost all civility over the past four years, ever since Donald Trump became President of the United States. In front of audiences and cameras, the Democrats have repeatedly fantasized about assault, riots, chaos and assassination. By 2020, the Democrats vision has become a morbid reality. Not only have they condoned mass violence on America’s streets but they have also supported the domestic terror movements that are sweeping through the country.

The violence that has been publicized by the Democrats, and the chaos that they have openly encouraged, is now manifesting into fire, destruction, death and mayhem in places like Portland, Seattle, Kenosha, Chicago and D.C., among other U.S. cities.

Democrats must be held responsible for their own vision, words and actions

As the fantasies become reality, Democrats must be held responsible for their own vision, their own words and their own actions. Instead, democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden and the rest of the DNC are trying to blame the ongoing riots, civil unrest and murders on President Trump and his supporters. It’s classic manipulation.

At least thirty people have died due to Democrats inciting and encouraging politically-motivated violence. The continued rioting and destruction of property by BLM and Antifa is just a sampling of what the radical left will do to take control over America.

Americans remember when a lunatic democrat shot up Republicans at a baseball fundraising event. Americans remember when Democrat mayors like Ted Wheeler sided with domestic terrorists, letting his city go up in flames. Americans remember when governors like Kate Brown called the riots “peaceful protest” as BLM vandalism and property destruction began dotting the landscape.

Americans understand that it is Democrats like Nancy Pelosi who repeatedly called for uprisings on U.S. streets. It’s Kamala Harris who has called for daily demonstrations, rallying the democrat base around the chaotic theme of de-funding and dismantling police.

It’s Joe Biden who said, “I said if we’re in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,” referring to the ideation of assaulting the President.

“I will go and take out Trump tonight,” said Maxine Waters, the California Democrat who rallied for violence against Trump supporters.

The Democrats cowardly vision is as feckless as a spoiled child, throwing a tantrum, but their vision is also capriciously dangerous, a destructive reality that only they, the Democrats, should own up to. The Democrats not only invoke lawless, criminal behavior that seeks to terminate any accountability, but they also openly encourage this lawlessness en masse. They believe, because of their conviction, that they are justified, but other people are not entitled to the same rights and convictions.

The rule of law must prevail in the 2020 election.

Student Union Leader: Whites Should Stay Home Unless They’re ‘Poor, Disabled, Gay, or Transgender’

A student union leader in Britain said black, transgender, gay, disabled, and poor people should be allowed to return to class, while straight, able-bodied white people who are not poor should stay home, out of fear of creating a so-called “second wave” of Chinese coronavirus infections.

Larissa Kennedy warned that British universities could become “the care homes of the second wave”, saying that students have been lied to by the government that “going back to [university as] normal is possible, viable, safe”.

In comments reported by the Mail on Sunday, Kennedy suggested that some students will be safer on campus and therefore should be allowed to return to school, claiming that non-white students should receive special treatment because “we know that students of colour are disproportionately [living] in crowded households and disproportionately hold caring responsibilities.”

The union president said that LGBT people may “find themselves in [family] environments that are homophobic or transphobic, and need to leave those,” and that disabled people might need “equipment, support, other reasonable adjustments” not available at home.

She also said that working-class students may need to be allowed back on campus, as their homes may not “have all the facilities including technology and broadband to study remotely.”

“If we can hold space for students at the margins, for those who, particularly, campus is and needs to be home, then I think we will navigate our way through this situation and ensure that everyone is safe and cared for,” she explained, adding that it is important not to “widen the gap in educational justice” caused by the Wuhan virus.

Racism: Top UK Schools Reject Scholarship Funding for Poor White Boys https://t.co/GXrdMHgAL1

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) January 1, 2020

The 22-year old was elected to her position as president of the National Union of Students (NUS) in April of this year.

Kennedy told The Guardian in August that she has a long history of political activism, previously campaigning against sexual harassment in schools and serving as the president of the antiracism society at Warwick University.

She said that she became interested in “how misogyny, racism, classism and other forms of oppression become reproduced by the education system” and that one of her main goals as president of the union will be to “decolonise” the British education system.

“While it has gained traction, we’ve seen people using the language of decolonisation when they’re actually talking about some random diversity scheme they’re running. I’m wary of the ways that universities are saying, ‘Oh look at us, we’re decolonising’, to make that into something sellable. They assume they can take the language of decolonisation when it really belongs at the grassroots, with students, workers and communities who are doing that work,” Kennedy told the left-wing British paper.

America’s real hoax: Record highs on Wall Street as millions of jobless people can’t pay rent

Don’t blame Lisa Scott, a 43-year-old certified nursing assistant who lives in the Oxford Circle section of Philadelphia, for not celebrating this week as the Standard & Poor’s 500 index soared to yet another record high, as Wall Street’s unbelievable — in every sense of the word — summer stretches into a new month.

On Wednesday afternoon, as the Dow was rising yet another 454 points, Scott — who hasn’t worked since the coronavirus turned her world upside down in March — was far too busy worrying why Pennsylvania still hasn’t processed her unemployment claim, whether her landlord will keep allowing her to pay whatever rent she can, and how she’d be able to seek new work with her 12-year-old at home for virtual schooling.

“I think it’s all bull——, pardon my language,” Scott told me when I asked her about the stock market soaring even as nearly 30 million Americans, that’s one-in-every five workers, continues to receive the unemployment benefits she’s still struggling to obtain. Like many in her shoes, the mother of six is losing faith in the system.

“I am an essential worker — I am needed, and look how they’re doing me,” Scott told me.

What’s so mind-boggling is that the increasingly desperate plight of America’s jobless, a crisis that’s approached the unthinkable levels of the Great Depression of the 1930s, isn’t the biggest story on the news. Instead, it’s squeezed out by a debate over so-called “law and order,” with a president who’d rather marshal the vast power of the federal government to send troops to arrest graffiti artists than enact a massive jobs-and-relief program.

Seriously? You’re worried about social unrest now? Just imagine the chaos in a few months, when homeless people sleep on park benches under a blanket of newspaper headlines that Jeff Bezos is the world’s first $300-billion man, or when the food lines begin to resemble “Hands Across America.” Personally, I don’t play the stock market but if I did, I’d be investing heavily in pitchfork manufacturers.

'You're Not Allowed To Film': The Fight To Control Who Reports From Portland

"YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO FILM!" is a cry you hear incessantly at protests in Portland, Oregon, always shouted at close range to your face by after-dark demonstrators. You can assert that, yes, you can film; you can point out that they themselves are filming incessantly; you can push their hands away from covering your phone; you can have your phone record them stealing your phone—all of these things have happened to me—and none will have any impact on their contention that "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO FILM" and its occasional variation, "PHOTOGRAPHY EQUALS DEATH!"

I cannot say who came up with these anti-camera battle cries. But it's easy to understand why protesters use them: to shape the narrative the country sees about the protests. And that narrative, in my estimation after many weeks covering street clashes in a city where I lived for 15 years, is 90 percent bullshit.

I wondered, the first time I attended the protests at the federal building back in July, who all these young people with PRESS emblazoned on their jackets or helmets were. I asked one such guy who he worked for.

"Independent Press Corps," he told me. As it turned out, dozens of other young PRESS people happened to work for the same outfit, which I at first assumed was a fancy way of saying "I want to report stuff and stream it on my Instagram."

This turned out to be naive. The IPC is an organized group in league with the activists, and it is usually their footage you see streamed online and recycled on the news: mostly innocent protestors being harassed and beaten by police.

The police indeed have tear-gassed and beaten people; there has been brutality. It is equally true, but featured less prominently in the news coverage, that activists spend hours every night menacing and setting fires to police stations and other institutions: City Hall, Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters, and last week Mayor Ted Wheeler's apartment building (until he agreed to move out). With the PRESS crew recording part of the story and the "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO FILM!" crew harassing other journalists, the result can be a misleading view of the protests. It's a revolution via the cellphone video they allow you to see.

The IPC and other documentarians who are deemed sympathetic to the activists' cause agree on certain principles. You do not show activists' faces. You only show activists in a defensive position: responding to, rather than inciting, violence. You enhance what can appear to be police brutality, e.g., activists defending themselves with homemade shields, often bearing the anarchist circle-A, against police. The shields are largely ineffective for personal defense, but extremely effective for optics, and that's precisely the point. If a member of the IPC is arrested, he or she will be protected.

Israeli Defense Minister Pushing for 5,000 New Settlement Homes in West Bank

Netanyahu and Gantz at odds over power-sharing deal

Israeli media is reporting that Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz is promoting the construction of almost 5,000 new homes in West Bank settlements, which would be the first construction of its kind after a six-month freeze.

Reports say Gantz is expected to bring his plan to a construction committee next week, whose approval is necessary to move forward. Despite the freeze on settlement construction and the coronavirus pandemic, Israel has demolished a record number of Palestinian homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem this year.

Gantz’s move is seen as an effort to gain favor from settler leaders, who are unhappy with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent decision to pause annexation of parts of the West Bank to normalize relations with the UAE. Netanyahu says that despite the deal, annexation is “still on the table,” but the settlers and hard-right members of the Knesset do not seem to have much faith in the prime minister.

Gantz and Netanyahu agreed to a power-sharing deal after three back to back elections gave neither politician a clear victory. Under the agreement, Gantz will serve as the defense minister until November 2021, when he will take over as prime minister.

Another round of elections before the power transfer is expected, as Netanyahu and Gantz are at odds over the state budget. If a budget is not approved, it means another round of elections could be held. The deadline for either a new election or budget approval has been pushed back to December 23rd.

FDA moves on vaccines spark political worries

Public health officials are taking aim at the Food and Drug Administration, warning it should not bow to political pressure and clear a COVID-19 vaccine before one is ready.

The officials say they are unnerved over the pressure cranked up by the president, and worry it will contribute to distrust in the public health system that could actually lead people to not feel confident about a vaccine.

They also worry the FDA will be rushed in its work to boost President Trump's reelection chances.

“I think Trump is setting up a no-win scenario on vaccines. The rush to distribute before completing trials means that even if the vaccine is effective, we won’t have proof, people will be reluctant to take it, and its perception will be tainted," said Jeremy Konyndyk, former head of USAID’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance under President Obama and current senior fellow at the Center for Global Development.

“Rushing it to the public before it is proven is a remarkably damaging move. But the motive here is clearly politics, not public health,” said Konyndyk.

FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn recently mentioned the possibility of ending clinical trials early if the benefits outweigh the risks.

“It is up to the [vaccine developer] to apply for authorization or approval, and we make an adjudication of their application,” Hahn said in an interview with the Financial Times. “If they do that before the end of phase three, we may find that appropriate. We may find that inappropriate, we will make a determination.”

Trump administration officials have said they hope the FDA will approve a safe and effective vaccine by the end of the year.

Administration health officials have taken pains to reassure the public that health agencies are independent from political persuasion, especially when it comes to a potential coronavirus vaccine.

“The FDA has been very explicit that they are going to make a decision based on the data as it comes in. These trials have these independent data and safety monitoring boards that intermittently look at the data,” Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a CNN interview.

“Data has always been the thing that has driven me and my colleagues here at the NIH as well as the FDA. The FDA and the CDC they’re data-driven organizations. So I think that people can feel confident that when these data come in they’ll be examined appropriately and a decision made," Fauci said.

But critics say they’re worried about various signals.

‘I’m The Public Face’: Here’s A List Of Lawmakers Who Broke COVID Rules

Not all lawmakers have been willing to follow social distancing restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic.

Democratic Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney was photographed dining indoors Sunday, though Philadelphia still prohibits indoor dining.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attended hair appointments despite COVID restrictions.

Here’s a list of lawmakers who have tried to dodge coronavirus rules.

Lawmakers have mandated a variety of COVID restrictions to stem the spread of the pandemic, but not all lawmakers have been willing to follow the rules.

Governors, mayors and state health departments have required that Americans wear masks, social distance, refrain from spending time in large groups, quarantine after traveling across state lines, stay home from church services and much more.

But many political leaders and members of their families have failed to comply with social distancing rules. Here’s a list of lawmakers who appeared to dodge coronavirus-related restrictions.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi attended a hair appointment in San Francisco Monday, though indoor hair salons in the California city are currently closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News reported.

Security footage obtained by Fox News shows a wet-haired Pelosi walking through eSalon in San Francisco on Monday as she attended her appointment for a wash and blow-out. Hair services at the salon range from $85 for a shampoo, haircut, blow dry to $325 for a Brazilian blowout, according to the eSalon website.

The house speaker’s nose and mouth are not covered by a face mask, though a face mask appears to be hanging around her neck, video shows.

San Francisco hair salons have been closed since March and were permitted to open Sept. 1 for outdoor hair appointments only, Fox News reported.

Erica Kious, the owner of the salon, told Fox News Tuesday that a stylist who rents a chair texted her Sunday night and let her know that “Pelosi assistant just messaged me to do her hair.”

“It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” the salon owner said, adding that she “can’t believe” that Pelosi was not wearing a mask.

“We’re supposed to look up to this woman, right?” Kious said, according to Fox News. “It is just disturbing.”

Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said that Pelosi “always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements.”

“This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business,” he told KTVU. “The Speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment.”

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney

A photo posted Sunday shows Democratic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Mayor Jim Kenney eating without a mask in a restaurant in Maryland, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The mayor’s office confirmed that the photo was taken Sunday in the Chesapeake Bay area.

Indoor dining is prohibited in Philadelphia until Sept. 8, according to the Philadelphia Department of Health.

==The coronavirus chaos is caused by one person: Netanyahu - comment=

If this letter wasn’t real, it might be excused for being a joke. The fact that Netanyahu wrote it shows that his cynicism knows no bounds.

There is no more shame. That is the only lesson one can draw from the cynical letter Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent on Monday night to the heads of the Knesset Opposition: Yair Lapid, Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Liberman and Ayman Odeh.

In his letter, Netanyahu accused the four of undermining the government’s efforts – which carry on “day and night” he wrote – to combat the spread of the coronavirus. If that wasn’t enough, he directly accused them – for serving as an opposition in a democracy - of putting lives in danger.

If this letter wasn’t real, it might be excused for being a joke. The fact that Netanyahu wrote it shows that his cynicism knows no bounds.

He is the prime minister of this country, and he is responsible for what is happening here. It was he who led Israel from the success it saw during the first wave in March, April and May to the utter failure in which it now finds itself during the current wave. Placing the blame on members of the opposition is a sad attempt at what most people learn in elementary school: take responsibility for your actions. Don’t run away from it.

Just look at what has happened only since last Thursday. That day the coronavirus cabinet approved a lockdown on red cities that was supposed to go into effect on Monday. Netanyahu was supposed to convene his ministers on Sunday and finalize the plans, but he came under pressure from his Haredi coalition partners threatening him with political backlash. Their campaign included a letter from four heads of haredi towns, who said that they would not go along with the new restrictions if they were imposed.

That was enough for Netanyahu - who recognized he could lose the last coalition partner he has - to do a flip-flop. It was also enough for him to take the plan put together by the country’s coronavirus commissioner, Prof. Ronni Gamzu, and simply throw it out the window.

China Shows Off Covid-19 Vaccines For First Time

China has put its homegrown coronavirus vaccines on display for the first time, as the country where the contagion was discovered looks to shape the narrative surrounding the pandemic.

High hopes hang on the small vials of liquid on show at a Beijing trade fair this week – vaccine candidates produced by Chinese companies Sinovac Biotech and Sinopharm.

Neither has hit the market yet but the makers hope they will be approved after all-important phase 3 trials as early as year-end.

A Sinovac representative told AFP his firm has already "completed the construction of a vaccine factory" able to produce 300 million doses a year.

On Monday, people at the trade fair crowded around booths showing the potential game-changing vaccines.

WHEC Reporter Chased By Knife-Wielding BLM Mob – Station Ignores Attack And Describes 'Protests' As 'Peaceful'

WHEC reporter Charles Molineaux was attacked and chased by a knife-wielding Black Lives Matter mob during "protests" on Sunday night in Rochester and yet his own news station ignored the incident and described the night's "protests" as "peaceful" on their front page.

Video shows Molineaux and his security guard getting attacked and called "Nazis" after apparently getting accused of being undercover cops.

An African-American man with a knife is seen running at them and threatening to stab them repeatedly, only backing down when Molineaux's security guard turns around to defend him with an expandable baton.

Samsung Gets $6.6 Billion Verizon 5G Contract At Huawei Expense

5G is the next iteration of wireless transmission and is expected to improve download speeds, allowing for expansion of VR, AI and IoT

Amid U.S. pressure, the U.K. and India are phasing out Huawei equipment

Nokia has equipment quality issues, leaving Samsung and Ericsson as the major players in 5G expansion

Trump administration efforts to blacklist Chinese electronics giant Huawei mean good news for Samsung (005930.KS) Electronics: The South Korean company announced a $6.6 billion deal Monday with Verizon (VZ) to help it build its 5G U.S. networks.

Details were not immediately released, with Samsung saying only the deal is for network equipment.

“With this latest long-term strategic contract, we will continue to push the boundaries of 5G innovation to enhance mobile experiences for Verizon’s customers,” Samsung said in a statement.

Samsung already is supplying 4G and 5G equipment to AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, and currently is working to expand its presence in Japan. It launched the world’s first 5G network in South Korea in April 2019 and has since expanded its market share in that country.

Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg told CNBC last year the largest U.S. wireless provider does not use any Huawei equipment.

The administration imposed sanctions on Huawei citing national security concerns, last month banning sales of any chips using U.S. technology to the Chinese firm, damaging both its 5G equipment and handset business.

“More companies will be turning to Samsung for their 5G equipment because of the US restrictions against Huawei and Nokia’s quality issues,” Kim Young-woo, an analyst at SK Securities, told the Financial Times. “There are not many alternatives other than Samsung and Ericsson if you rule out Huawei and Nokia.”

San Francisco At It Again. Gym Owners Are Up In Arms After Discovering Gov Gyms Are Open During COVID-19

Gym owners in San Francisco are up in arms after realizing that the government never had to shut down its own gyms at government buildings. It’s another incredible injustice to small businesses in California that have suffered so much during the mandatory closures the government says is to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The revelation was made by a local NBC news channel, which reported that gyms inside government buildings in San Francisco have been open for months, while other gyms across the city were mandated to shutdown during the novel coronavirus outbreak.

What? How angry would you be if you were a San Francisco resident, or for that matter a business owner?

Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, told her local NBC station: “It’s shocking, it’s infuriating. Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”

It appears that the privileged government isn’t limited to House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hair salon incident, where she didn’t wear a mask.

According to the report from NBC the government gyms have literally been open for employees, including police officers, lawyers, judges, bailiffs, and others.

“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro, told NBC.

The Israel-Palestine Conflict, Annexation And Normalization

As the Israel-Palestine conflict grinds on with no end in sight, Israel and the US have launched an all-out push to resolve the conflict once and for all, on Israel’s terms. If the manoeuvre is successful, Israel will end up with all of the territories it conquered during the 1967 war, including all of the Golan Heights and Jerusalem and most of the Palestinian Territories, including the best sources of water and agricultural land. The West Bank will find itself in the same situation as the Gaza strip, cut off from the outside world and surrounded by hostile Israeli military forces and Israeli settlements.

Palestine in the regional and international geopolitical context

The current economic, political and social situation in Palestine must be considered in the regional context. Two aspects are of most immediate relevance in this sense: the first is the long running confrontation between the US, Israel, the Saudis and the UAE (along with their other allies and associates) and the ‘Axis of Resistance’.

The second geopolitical development that is of fundamental significance for the Palestinian people is the attempt by Israel (with the emphatic support of the Trump administration and most of the US Congress) to resolve the ‘Palestinian question’ by normalizing relations with as many Arab and Muslim countries as possible while at the same time proceeding with the plan to annex large chunks of Palestinian territory and keeping the Palestinian inhabitants in conditions of severe deprivation and isolation.

In each instance there are broad similarities but also some significant differences in the postures of different countries and international organizations to these two key topics. There are also the superimposed bilateral and multilateral confrontations and rivalries, of which the mutual antagonism between Iran and the US, Israel and the Saudis is one of the most important. There is also the rivalry between Turkey, the Saudis and Iran to be considered the ‘leader’ of the Muslim world, and a deepening enmity and confrontation between Turkey and Egypt. All of these elements and opposing forces are also deeply involved in the conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen.

The ‘Axis of Resistance’ comprises the countries and groups determined to confront the efforts by the US and Israel to impose their hegemony over the course developments take, the core of which consists of Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah. Other Muslim and Arab countries are not willing to directly confront the US and Israel, or are allied to greater or lesser degree with them against Iran and the other members of the resistance (the Saudis in particular).

The topic of the normalization of relations with Israel prior to a conclusive peace agreement with the Palestinians has also polarized the region since the deal concluded between the UAE and Israel. Most Arab and Muslim countries have stated that they will not be normalizing relations with Israel as yet, and that they remain committed to the Arab Peace Initiative, notwithstanding that many already have significant unofficial and semi-covert relations with Israel.

While Russia and to a lesser extent China are cooperating with the members of the Axis of Resistance in Syria to defeat the foreign-backed terrorist groups that continue to occupy and ravage some parts of the country, most now concentrated in Idlib province, they are understandably reluctant to become directly involved in the military confrontation with the US and Israel that is taking place there. While the European Union generally goes along with the US and Israel on many issues, most of its member countries have clearly stated that they do not and will not support Israel’s annexation of occupied Palestinian territories.

The already crippled Palestinian economy received another devastating blow in 2008-2009 when the Israeli leadership launched ‘Operation Cast Lead’, a period of massive air and artillery strikes against the entire Gaza enclave. The Institute for Middle East Understanding summarized the impact of the prolonged military operation on Gaza’s infrastructure, population and economy:

According to investigations by independent Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations, between 1,385 and 1,419 Palestinians were killed during Cast Lead, a majority of them civilians, including at least 308 minors under the age of 18. More than 5000 more were wounded. Thirteen Israelis were also killed, including 3 civilians.

According to the UN, 3,540 housing units were completely destroyed, with another 2,870 sustaining severe damage.

More than 20,000 people – many of them already refugees, some two or three times over – were made homeless.

Attacks on Gaza’s electricity infrastructure caused an estimated $10 million in damage, according to the Israeli advocacy group Gisha.

268 private businesses were destroyed, and another 432 damaged, at an estimated cost of more than $139 million, according to an assessment by the Private Sector Coordination Council, a Palestinian economic group. A separate report found that 324 factories and workshops were damaged during the war.

According to the UN Relief Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides services to Palestinian refugees, the offensive damaged almost 20,000 meters (approx. 12 miles) of water pipes, four water reservoirs, 11 wells, and sewage networks and pumping stations. Israeli shelling also damaged 107 UNRWA installations.

Eighteen schools, including 8 kindergartens, were destroyed, and at least 262 others damaged. Numerous Palestinian government buildings, including police stations, the headquarters of the Palestinian Legislative Council, and part of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ compound, were also destroyed.

Ten years later, a report in The Guardian reviewing the context of the military operation surmised:

On 27 December 2008, Israel launched Operation Cast Lead, pounding the densely populated strip from the air, sea and land for 22 days. It was not a war or even “asymmetric warfare” but a one-sided massacre. Israel had 13 dead; the Gazans had 1,417 dead, including 313 children, and more than 5,500 wounded. According to one estimate 83% of the casualties were civilians. Israel claimed to be acting in self-defence, protecting its civilians against Hamas rocket attacks. The evidence, however, points to a deliberate and punitive war of aggression. Israel had a diplomatic alternative, but it chose to ignore it and to resort to brute military force.

For its part, the Jewish Virtual Library states of developments leading up to the military operation:

Hamas seized power from the Palestinian Authority (PA) in what amounted to a coup in June 2007. This allowed them to confiscate armored vehicles and weapons given to the PA by Israel, the United States and other countries. In addition, the group manufactured its own mortars and rockets while smuggling in from Egypt more sophisticated rockets provided by Iran.

Between 2005 and 2007, Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza fired about 2,000 rockets into Israel, killing four Israeli civilians and injuring 75 others. The bombardment continued in the first half of 2008.

On June 19, 2008, Egypt brokered a six-month pause in hostilities that required Hamas to end rocket and mortar attacks on Israel. Hamas was also expected to halt its military buildup in Gaza and release an Israeli soldier it was holding hostage. In exchange, Israel agreed to ease the blockade of Gaza and to halt military raids into Gaza. As part of the deal Egypt promised to stop the smuggling of arms and weapons from its territory into Gaza.

Throughout the fall, Israel and Hamas accused each other of violating the Egyptian-mediated truce. Rocket fire from Gaza never stopped entirely and weapons smuggling continued. Hamas insisted Israel never allowed the expected amount of goods to flow into Gaza and of conducting raids that killed Hamas fighters.

Trump Says There’s No Evidence Navalny Was Poisoned, Says China Is “Much Worse” Than Russia

On September 4th, US President Donald Trump refused to condemned Russia over the alleged poisoning of Alexei Navalny.

“We have to look at it very seriously. If that’s the case, and I think we will,” Trump said when asked how the US should react.

“I don’t know exactly what happened, I think it’s tragic. It’s terrible, it shouldn’t happen. We haven’t had any proof yet, but I will take a look,” he added.

He said that there hasn’t been any evidence yet, and he then deflected the question towards China.

Q&A: Michael McCormack, Hamish Macdonald spar over Black Lives Matter protest

The Q&A panel devolved into a mess on Monday night as host Hamish Macdonald jumped in to fact check a dubious answer from one guest.

Q&A devolved into a bit of a mess on Monday night whenDeputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack brought up a Black Lives Matter protest in Melbourne, claiming it was a key cause of Victoria’s second wave of coronavirus infections.

The subject came up out of the blue when host Hamish Macdonald asked whether the rest of Australia could trust Victoria’s contact tracing system.

“Well let’s wait and see. At the moment we haven’t been able to do that,” said Mr McCormack, who is leader of the National Party.

“The public health officials have to do that tracking and tracing. That is the key.”

“That isn’t my question. Can we trust-” Macdonald interjected.

“We haven’t been able to so far,” said Mr McCormack.

He then launched into an explanation of the causes of Victoria’s outbreak.

There was a fair bit of cross-talk between the two men, so I’m just going to transcribe the whole exchange for you.

McCormack: “We have had that outbreak because of the security guards, who did the wrong thing. We had that outbreak because of a family who gathered in too large a number. We had the outbreak in Victoria because of a protest rally.”

Macdonald: “Sorry, what’s the evidence of the protest rally leading to the outbreak?”

McCormack: “Well there were three confirmed cases from one of those protest rallies.”

Macdonald: “Are you saying that’s led to the outbreak?”

McCormack: “It didn’t help the situation.”

Macdonald: “Sorry, you’re drawing a link that I’m not sure is substantiated in fact.”

McCormack: “When the second wave occurred, they were the three reasons that were given. It was the security failure, it was the family that gathered in too large numbers-”

Macdonald: “I’m not sure there is any actual evidence that the Black Lives Matter protest led to this outbreak.”

McCormack: “Well that’s what – that is what was being said at the time.”

Macdonald: “Do you accept you were wrong in saying that?”

McCormack: “No I don’t. I don’t think people should be protesting, actually, at the moment. In any way, shape or form.”

Macdonald: “I’m sorry, I’m just testing you on a fact. You have put forward that the Black Lives Matter protest in Melbourne led to this outbreak. I do not believe that’s supported by fact. There were a number of cases that people had COVID there, but there is no evidence that-”

McCormack: “That can’t have helped. Tracking and tracing was not what it should be. Who knows? They don’t know themselves.”

Macdonald: “Do you accept-”

McCormack: “So there were people at that rally with COVID-19 – and that has since been proven, that they did have COVID-19 when they went to that protest, they should not have been at that protest, nor should the protest have been-”

Macdonald: “You accept that did not lead to the outbreak?”

McCormack: “Police resources have been used unjustly. They should have been doing what their job is, and that is to ensure that law and order has been kept, rather than have to attend and babysit a group of protesters who shouldn’t have been protesting in the first place.”

Like I said, a bit of a mess.

“New Little ICE Age Instead of Global Warming?” by Dr Theodor Landscheidt

Among the long list or scientific papers suggesting that a solar-driven spell of global cooling is on the cards, Dr Theodor Landscheidt’s ‘New Little ICE Age Instead of Global Warming?‘ probably has the claim of priority.

Published in 2003, just a year before his death, Landscheidt’s research is standing the test of time, and is still largely on course to be proved correct.

The paper’s abstract begins:

Analysis of the sun’s varying activity in the last two millennia indicates that contrary to the IPCC’s speculation about man-made global warming as high as 5.8C within the next hundred years, a long period of cool climate with its coldest phase around 2030 is to be expected.

Crucially, in the growing list of research concluding that a solar-driven multidecadal spell of global cooling is on the cards (research from multiple studies of quite different characteristics), the year 2030 ALWAYS features prominently. Unlike the IPCC, which tosses its thermageddon doomsday date back and forth like a hot potato, researchers who track the multimillennial plays of the cosmos (namely those of the Sun) routinely land on the year 2030 as being the date of ‘climate deterioration’: this in itself should serve as compelling evidence.

Dr Landscheidt continues:

It is shown that minima in the 80 to 90-year Gleissberg cycle of solar activity, coinciding with periods of cool climate on Earth, are consistently linked to an 83-year cycle in the change of the rotary force driving the sun’s oscillatory motion … As the future course of this cycle and its amplitudes can be computed, it can be seen that the Gleissberg minimum around 2030 and another one around 2200 will be of the Maunder minimum type accompanied by severe cooling on Earth. This forecast should prove skillful as other long-range forecasts of climate phenomena, based on cycles in the sun’s orbital motion, have turned out correct as for instance the prediction of the last three El Niño years before the respective event.

Dr Landscheidt concludes his introduction with the IPCC’s position on global warming, and he points to a growing list of publications showing a solar-climate connection:

The IPCC’s judgement that the solar factor is negligible is based on satellite observations available since 1978 which show that the Sun’s total irradiance, though not being constant, changes only by about 0.1 percent during the course of the 11-year sunspot cycle. This argument, however, does not take into account that the Sun’s eruptional activity (energetic flares, coronal mass ejections, eruptive prominences), heavily affecting the solar wind, as well as softer solar wind contributions by coronal holes have a much stronger effect than total irradiance. The total magnetic flux leaving the Sun, dragged out by the solar wind, has risen by a factor of 2.3 since 1901 (Lockwood et al., 1999), while global temperature on earth increased by about 0.6°C. The energy in the solar flux is transferred to the near-Earth environment by magnetic reconnection and directly into the atmosphere by charged particles. Energetic flares increase the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation by at least 16 percent. Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs this excess energy which causes local warming and circulation disturbances. General circulation models developed by Haigh (1996), Shindell et al. (1999), and Balachandran et al. (1999) confirm that circulation changes, initially induced in the stratosphere, can penetrate into the troposphere and influence temperature, air pressure, Hadley circulation, and storm tracks by changing the distribution of large amounts of energy already present in the atmosphere.

Trump: US to Ban Companies Outsourcing to China From Getting Federal Contracts

During the 2016 election campaign, POTUS promised to "bring back" American companies, which had largely outsourced their production to foreign countries, to the US. At the same time, he mostly focused on companies that were working in China.

President Donald Trump has announced that soon American companies that outsource their operations to China will be unable to compete for US federal contracts under a new upcoming ban. He also said that it is possible to decouple the American economy from China without incurring "monetary losses".

"We lose billions of dollars and if we didn't do business with them we wouldn't lose billions of dollars. It's called decoupling, so you'll start thinking about it", Trump said.

Back in 2019, the Pentagon raised alarm that some of its defence contractors that were working on sensitive military technologies could be connected to or partially owned by China, rendering them a possible source for this data to be leaked to Beijing.

The ban on federal contracts is just the latest step to be announced by POTUS in a bid to restructure the US economy, which has long outsourced production and other operations to countries where it can be done cheaper than domestically. In August 2020, Trump promised major tax credits to those American companies that relocate their business operations back to the US, but only if they were previously working in China.

Makow- The Coronahoax is part of a larger Communist revolution orchestrated by the Rothschilds via Bill Gates, WHO, and the WEF. The situation is dire when CEOs applaud thugs who loot their stores. When the Democratic Party vows not to respect the election results. When citizens start assaulting each other on the basis of race or opinion. This is the time for Trump to step up and show his real colors. Will he represent the values of the people who elected him, or will he advance a sinister hidden agenda? His actions, or lack of them, will reveal if he is false opposition. Communism is an Illuminati (Rothschild) monopoly over everything. Its aim is satanic - to enslave humanity. This monopoly includes power, money, thought, movement, and your families.

You know the situation is dire when they tell us we all must take vaccines made by companies that have no liability for the gigantic profit of the very billionaires who are promoting the vaccine. All on the pretext of a pandemic no more deadly than the common flu. And no one in the MSM says boo? Man, we are in deep shit. Is Trump our only hope?
