NEW: DOJ Records Show Weissmann, Other Mueller Henchmen Claimed to Have “Accidentally Wiped” at Least 31 Phones Used in Russia Probe

Newly released DOJ records show “pitbull” Andrew Weissmann and multiple Mueller henchmen claiming to have “accidentally wiped” at least 31 phones used in the anti-Trump Russia probe.

The documents were uncovered thanks to a Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit.

The phones were all conveniently wiped after the DOJ IG asked for the devices to be handed over — some phones wiped themselves, according to the DOJ!

The records show virtually all of Mueller’s lawyers used the same tactic: Put their phones in airplane mode, lock them and then nuke the phones by repeatedly entering the wrong password.

The wrong password must be entered 10 times in a row in order to nuke the phone.

“Employee tried to incorrectly enter password too many times, and the phone was wiped of all data” – one entry shows in the OIG records.

“During out processing conversation… [redacted] indicated she had to wipe her phone because she forgot the password. Her phone had to be wiped to be reset because the passcode provided was inaccurate and the phone was left in airplane mode.” – another entry stated.

Sen. Rand Paul tells Steven Crowder how 'corporate America' is actually funding the riots that are destroying America's cities

Follow the money

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Thursday that the rampant rioting and violence that is destroying some of America's cities is likely part of a coordinated effort funded by an unexpected source: corporate America.

The senator — who was attacked by an angry mob outside the Republican National Convention last month — made the comments in an interview with BlazeTV's Steven Crowder Thursday morning.

The two were discussing Paul's recent run-in with the "crazed" protesters and Black Lives Matters riots, in general, when the lawmaker suggested that many of the rioters are likely professional in some capacity, in that they are paid to travel to different areas of the country to incite violence.

"We're seeing these people … some of the same people are in Portland, Kenosha, D.C., Louisville," Paul said.

"How are they getting there? They're staying at the [Willard Hotel] — the Willard Hotel might be $500 to $1,000 a night — who's paying for them to stay in the Willard Hotel?" he asked. "Who's paying for them to have air flight? Who's paying them to do this?"

"And here's the sad truth of it," he continued. "It's probably not going to be a sinister name like George Soros, it's going to be corporate America."

"Corporate America is giving money to Black Lives Matter and my guess is, if we follow the money, the people who paid for the plane tickets and the hotels and the people who continue to do this, is Black Lives Matter," he said. "People should not be giving money to a group that is then funding thuggery."

Watch the exchange in the video below starting at the 51:45 mark:

Paul proposed that instead of funding Black Lives Matter, an organization that openly calls for a Marxist revolution and policy initiatives such as the end of the nuclear family, those who desire to promote racial equality should donate to organizations such as the United Negro College Fund or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

House Republicans Demand DOJ Investigate Organized Riots

Fifty House Republicans led by Colorado Rep. Ken Buck are demanding Attorney General William Barr launch an investigation into a series of seemingly organized riots this summer featuring militant anarchists torching American cities in a self-righteous mission to achieve social justice.

“ANTIFA and other left-wing anarchists groups have unleashed a barrage of totalitarian attacks on our country in recent months, including accosting a sitting U.S. Senator, hijacking peaceful rallies, organizing armed riots, destroying property, burning buildings, stealing livelihoods, and spreading hate,” House Republicans wrote.

The letter argued the explosion of unrest is largely attributable to organized underground domestic terrorist groups sowing chaos and division.

“It is clear that these individuals are well-funded and supported by a national network of left-wing activists committed to perpetrating violence and furthering anarchy in our streets,” it read. “As such, we urge you to immediately open an investigation to identify and prosecute all individuals and groups responsible for funding and organizing these terroristic acts that are wreaking havoc on our nation.”

The letter comes as left-wing militants in Portland eclipsed 100 consecutive days of carnage to cap off a historic summer of unrest triggered in May by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody, and after the nation suffered under 10 weeks of draconian lockdowns raking in generous government benefits for unemployed workers.

“ANTIFA and other far-left anarchist groups have wreaked havoc on our nation for far too long,” Buck told The Federalist. “Americans deserve to feel safe and secure in their own communities, it’s time that AG Barr and the DOJ take action to investigate and prosecute the groups responsible for these violent riots.”

Study found nearly 570 violent demonstrations–riots–in nearly 220 locations spread all across the country. Is that 'overwhelmingly peaceful'? https://t.co/veX34DYpnz pic.twitter.com/lecXulUfg2

After the initial wave of violent unrest largely subsided everywhere else other than Portland, pockets of riots erupted in major cities throughout the rest of the summer where a second wave threatened to re-emerge into full-bloom following a police shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which rioters nearly burned to the ground the same week as the Republicans held their online convention.

Russia Wants to Make Its Vaccine Against COVID-19 Available in Every Country, RDIF CEO Says

MOSCOW, September 10 (Sputnik) - Russia wants to provide the Sputnik V vaccine to all countries without discriminating against anyone, Kirill Dmitriev, the chief executive officer of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, involved in the development of the vaccine, said on Thursday.

"Only in partnership with other countries can we manufacture our vaccine and we want to make it available in every single country, without any discrimination," Dmitriev said.

He emphasized Russia's willingness to cooperate with international partners.

"Russia has a very open position, a position partnership and readiness to cooperate with all international companies. We are doing solid negotiation with GAVI and CEPI, as well as the WHO and all the leading international organizations that manufacture vaccines and are involved in their research and development," Dmitriev said.

The Russian company has earlier noted that the Russian vaccine clinical trials results showed human adenoviral vectors may be better option than vaccines using mRNK or chimpanzee adenovirus.

Dmitriev argued that the western media were silent on the dangers of using experimental approaches to vaccine development such as those based on the chimpanzee adenovirus.

"When we talk about that to the western media, we do see that the difference about the human and chimpanzee adenovirus is being blocked by the western media," Dmitriev mentioned.

Sputnik V was registered by the Russian Health Ministry on 11 August, becoming the first registered vaccine against COVID-19 in the world.

World Economic Forum’s Techno-Totalitarian Roadmap

The Corona crisis is the trigger for a global coup d’état of monumental dimensions. It is the beginning of a new era, with a new international economic order that risks completely destroying human freedoms. Tyrants have now taken over to forcibly steer us into a “climate smart” and “healthy” world through the World Economic Forum’s new techno-totalitarian roadmap – “The Great Reset”.

On June 13, 2019, Klaus Schwab, President of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and UN Secretary-General António Guterres signed a partnership between their two organisations. This was done without any direct media attention despite the tremendous implications this poses to humanity. By and large, this means that the power over our lives with a stroke of a pen has been transferred to the big global corporations and their owners.

The agreement includes six focus areas:

Funding for the UN Agenda 2030

Climate change

Health

Digital collaboration

Gender equality and women’s liberation

Education and skills development.

The aim of the partnership is to accelerate the UN Sustainability Agenda and the 17 global targets.

Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals is essential for the future of humanity. The World Economic Forum is committed to supporting this effort, and working with the United Nations to build a more prosperous and equitable future.

The agreement also states that the WEF’s fourth industrial revolution is an important component in implementing the agenda. Digitisation is seen as the key.

A few months later, during the Meeting in Davos in January 2020, this was made very clear by the launch of the Unlocking Technology for the Global Goals report compiled by PWC. This means that the world’s tech giants (which are part of the WEF working groups) will solve the world’s problems through the use of AI, satellites, robotics, drones and the Internet of Things, and with synthetic food on the menu.

By declaring Covid-19 as a pandemic on March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) opened up an opportunity window for the WEF to quickly implement its new world order. Everything was very carefully prepared.

As early as 2006, the WEF’s first report on global risks had discussed the measures to be taken in the event of a pandemic (some of the recommendations were tested in the context of Swine Flu in 2009). After that, the working groups continued to sew their network. In 2010, the Rockefeller Foundation published Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development, which described the scenario of a future shutdown almost prophetically:

At first, the notion of a more controlled world gained wide acceptance and approval. Citizens willingly gave up some of their sovereignty – and their privacy – to more paternalistic states in exchange for greater safety and stability. Citizens were more tolerant, and even eager, for top-down direction and oversight, and national leaders had more latitude to impose orders in the ways they saw fit.

A year before the virus began to hit the world, the WEF released the report Outbreak Readiness and Business Impact Protecting Lives and Livelihoods across the Global Economy. The great preparations were getting ready.

In October 2019, a dress rehearsal was performed through the Event 201 exercise (which involved stakeholders such as the WEF, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Johns Hopkins University). A detailed review is done among other things in my post The Corona Crisis and the Technocratic Agenda.

The Great Reset

After a few months of extreme measures in which communities were shut down and authoritarian control rules were introduced simultaneously around the world, Klaus Schwab and António Guterres, along with Prince Charles, among others, on June 3 forward and offered a solution to all problems – “The Great Reset”.

Trump Campaign Issues Cease and Desist Order to Biden Campaign, Twitter and Facebook to Stop Running Ad Based on False and Unverified Atlantic Hit Piece on President

The Trump Campaign on Thursday sent a cease and desist order to the Biden Campaign, Twitter and Facebook to stop running an ad based on the debunked and inflammatory Jeffrey Goldberg hit piece in The Atlantic last week.

Trump Campaign Senior Legal Adviser told Charles Payne on Thursday the Trump campaign is asking Twitter and Facebook to be consistent.

J enna Ellis: We sent that out from the campaign because the Biden Campaign put out a false and misleading ad that is based on the Atlantic article which is unverified anonymous sources. And Twitter and Facebook should absolutely remove this ad because if this had been from the Trump campaign that was based on false and anonymous and unverified sources they would have flagged it of course as misinformation. Why are they not treating the Biden Campaign the same?

JPM Becomes First Wall Street Bank To Demand Traders Return To The Office

Citigroup just made history earlier today by appointing the first female CEO of a Wall Street megabank. Now, JPMorgan is setting a precedent of its own: becoming the first bank to demand that traders get back to the office, now.

After suffering through what was one of the earliest, and largest, COVID-19 outbreaks impacting the trading floor of an American Wall Street bank (more than a dozen traders were eventually confirmed sickened), JPMorgan has reportedly summoned its traders back to the office, eschewing the broader work-from-home-in-perpetuity trend that seems to be gripping the banking business.

Many were surprised to see banks' trading systems hold up as well as they did, particularly amid the unprecedented chaos in markets witnessed back in March. Trading chief Troy Rohrbaugh and global head of sales and research Marc Badrichani broke the news to the bank's traders in a phone call earlier this week, WSJ reports.

Employees with health complications and child-care issues are exempt and can continue from home. But the rest of the bank's traders are going to need to finally return to Manhattan from their Hamptons redoubts.

As WSJ notes, the decision is a bit of a risk for JPM, since most of its Wall Street rivals are moving to make remote working permanent to a degree, including Deutsche Bank, which is allowing employees to pick a couple of days per week to work from home. Tech giants like Google have said they won't expect workers to return to the office until next summer at the earliest.

UBS Group has told its bankers in the Americas that “flexibility and remote working” are here to stay: "We expect you to return at your own pace and when you feel comfortable."

Let the Europeans take it easy, they're not the ones dominating the league tables like JPM.

That could create problems for the bank in its never-ending battle with Big Tech for the 'top talent' graduating from American colleges.

By reopening its trading floor, JPM is signaling to the rest of Wall Street - and the world - that it's now safe to return.

That could be dangerous considering that NY has seen COVID-19-linked hospitalizations tick higher in recent days, while Mayor Bill de Blasio will soon be allowing in-class education to resume for the fall semester.

In preparation for the return, JPMorgan recently pushed out a mandatory training program explaining new office rules, and outlining new "procedures" for hand washing and wearing face masks.

It's probably going to be a big adjustment after spending the last 6 months in the Hamptons.

Nearly 29,000 Pounds Of Meth Seized In U.S. Counternarcotics Operation

Attorney General William Barr and Drug Enforcement Agency Acting Administrator Timothy Shea announced Thursday that a U.S. counternarcotics operation dubbed “Crystal Shield” has led to the seizure of nearly 29,000 pounds of methamphetamine trafficked by Mexican drug cartels.

The operation began in February 2020 and focused on drug networks in Atlanta, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Phoenix, San Diego, and St. Louis, where methamphetamine is regularly trafficked.

“Methamphetamine is a brutal drug linked to violent crime and responsible for far too many fatal overdoses,” said Attorney General Barr. “The astounding results of Operation Crystal Shield clearly demonstrate the commitment by the DEA and our state and local partners to prevent this deadly drug from reaching the streets of our communities. Prosecuting individuals who traffic these poisons remains a top priority for President Trump and the entire Department of Justice.”

The announcement comes amid a drug epidemic that has worsened amid the COVID-19 pandemic as overdoses surge in many states where strict lockdowns have been imposed. For drug cartels and trafficking networks, it was a crisis to exploit. Sara A. Carter produced “Not in Vein” in 2018 to highlight the cartels’ complex drug trafficking networks in the United States. Click here to watch the film.

“In the months leading up to the launch of Operation Crystal Shield, communities across the United States experienced a surge of methamphetamine,” said Acting Administrator Shea.

He added, “The COVID pandemic locked down many communities and impacted legitimate businesses, but the drug trade continued. Under difficult conditions, DEA – along with our federal, state, and local partners – never stopped working as we helped stem the flow of methamphetamine onto our streets, even as violent drug traffickers sought new ways to smuggle it into the United States. The success of Operation Crystal Shield reflects the devotion of DEA and our partners to protect our communities from the scourge of drug trafficking and violent crime under any circumstances.”

Microsoft warns Russia, China and Iran targeting US election

Microsoft on Thursday reported that it is seeing “increasing” cyberattacks originating in Russia, China and Iran targeting its customers, including attacks against political groups and the presidential campaigns of President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Tom Burt, corporate vice president of customer security and trust at Microsoft, detailed in a blog post the efforts by three major foreign hacking groups to target the campaigns, along with other political organizations and individuals.

“The activity we are announcing today makes clear that foreign activity groups have stepped up their efforts targeting the 2020 election as had been anticipated, and is consistent with what the U.S. government and others have reported,” Burt wrote.

These efforts included Russian hacking group “Strontium” targeting more than 200 organizations, political campaigns and parties over the past year, including U.S.-based consultants for the Democratic and Republican parties, think tanks such as the German Marshall Fund and political parties in the United Kingdom.

Strontium, also known as “Fancy Bear,” is the same group that hacked into the Democratic National Committee networks in 2016.

Microsoft took legal action against the group in 2017, with a federal court ordering the group to stop targeting Microsoft customers and using Microsoft logos in malicious email phishing campaigns.

“Strontium has evolved its tactics since the 2016 election to include new reconnaissance tools and new techniques to obfuscate their operations,” Burt wrote. “In 2016, the group primarily relied on spear phishing to capture people’s credentials. In recent months, it has engaged in brute force attacks and password spray, two tactics that have likely allowed them to automate aspects of their operations.”

A second hacking effort announced by Microsoft on Thursday involved Chinese-based hacking group “Zirconium." Microsoft reported evidence of “thousands” of attempted attacks by the group between May and September, with nearly 150 successful compromises.

Among the individuals targeted unsuccessfully by Zirconium were Biden campaign staffers. The group went after non-campaign emails.

Zirconium also targeted an unnamed former Trump administration official, along with individuals in the international affairs community, including those at 15 universities and groups such as the Atlantic Council and the Stimson Center.

“Zirconium, operating from China, has attempted to gain intelligence on organizations associated with the upcoming U.S. presidential election,” Burt wrote.

Israeli mask maker Sonovia awaits China coronavirus lab result

Sonovia says its reusable anti-viral masks are coated in zinc oxide nano-particles that destroy bacteria, fungi and viruses, which it says can help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

TEL AVIV - An Israeli company expects to receive results in the coming week from a Beijing lab that will test whether a fabric it has developed will be able to neutralize 99% of COVID-19, even after being washed multiple times.

Sonovia says its reusable anti-viral masks are coated in zinc oxide nano-particles that destroy bacteria, fungi and viruses, which it says can help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

The fabric can be used in textiles for hospitals, protective equipment and clothing. But the masks are not certified for use by medical professionals in operating and emergency rooms, which use only disposable masks, according to Liat Goldhammer, Sonovia's chief technology officer.

Tests in the Microspectrum (Weipu Jishu) lab in Shanghai demonstrated that the washable fabric used in its masks neutralized 90.67% of the coronavirus to which it was exposed, according to a report published by the lab in June and seen by Reuters.

Further testing is underway at an affiliated lab in Beijing.

"We will have results in the coming days," Goldhammer told Reuters this week. "We expect the test to show 99% efficiency."

Sonovia says it has clients in Germany and the United States, and is conducting a pilot for an Italian company. It also sells its masks online to retail consumers.

The tests in China follow one in May on the material at Austria's HygCen medical lab using the Vaccinia virus, which has similar properties to the SARS-COVID family. The firm hired by Sonovia said the test showed "a good virucidal effect," according to the lab report.

Inquiry by C.I.A. Affirms It Spied on Senate Panel

WASHINGTON — An internal investigation by the C.I.A. has found that its officers penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee in preparing its damning report on the C.I.A.’s detention and interrogation program.

The report by the agency’s inspector general also found that C.I.A. officers read the emails of the Senate investigators and sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department based on false information, according to a summary of findings made public on Thursday. One official with knowledge of the report’s conclusions said the investigation also discovered that the officers created a false online identity to gain access on more than one occasion to computers used by the committee staff.

The inspector general’s account of how the C.I.A. secretly monitored a congressional committee charged with supervising its activities touched off angry criticism from members of the Senate and amounted to vindication for Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the committee’s Democratic chairwoman, who excoriated the C.I.A. in March when the agency’s monitoring of committee investigators became public.

A statement issued Thursday morning by a C.I.A. spokesman said that John O. Brennan, the agency’s director, had apologized to Ms. Feinstein and the committee’s ranking Republican, Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, and would set up an internal accountability board to review the issue. The statement said that the board, which will be led by a former Democratic senator, Evan Bayh of Indiana, could recommend “potential disciplinary measures” and “steps to address systemic issues.”

But anger among lawmakers grew throughout the day. Leaving a nearly three-hour briefing about the report in a Senate conference room, members of both parties called for the C.I.A. officers to be held accountable, and some said they had lost confidence in Mr. Brennan’s leadership. “This is a serious situation and there are serious violations,” said Mr. Chambliss, generally a staunch ally of the intelligence community. He called for the C.I.A. employees to be “dealt with very harshly.”

Senator Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado and another member of the Intelligence Committee, demanded Mr. Brennan’s resignation. “The C.I.A. unconstitutionally spied on Congress by hacking into the Senate Intelligence Committee computers,” he said in a written statement. “This grave misconduct not only is illegal but it violates the U.S. Constitution’s requirement of separation of powers.
