CDC Cancels ‘Critical Race Theory’ Program Following Doc Leak – Reporter Threatens to go Nuclear and Release Names if No Action is Taken by CDC Director!

The CDC was forced to cancel its ‘critical race theory’ training program after documents leaked to reporter Christopher Rufo revealed the agency was moving forward with the program in violation of President Trump’s executive action.

The same federal group that failed the nation and the world with their convoluted, unscientific and destructive COVID-19 policies decided to move ahead with their critical race theory program.

This is despite President Donald Trump’s ban last week!

The CDC training claims that “racism is a public health crisis” and that “systemic racism” leads to “police killings of unarmed Black and Brown men and women”

The program was canceled on Tuesday after documents leaked to reporter Christopher Rufo revealed the agency was defying the President.

Christopher Rufo said there must be consequences for the federal employees who brazenly violated a presidential order.

“If there is no action from the CDC Director in the next 72 hours, I will begin releasing the names of those involved.” – Christopher said in a tweet.

Registered sex offender convicted of child sex crimes

ORLANDO – An Orlando man was found guilty by federal jury Friday of attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity and committing the offense while required to register as a sex offender under Florida law. This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.

“This repeat child predator will likely spend the rest of his natural life in prison for his systematic abuse of children,” said HSI Orlando Assistant Special Agent in Charge David J. Pezzutti. “Thanks to law enforcement teamwork and the cooperation of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, the children in our communities will be safer today.”

Vince Edward Lasane, 48, Orlando, faces a maximum penalty of life in federal prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 30, 2020. Lasane was indicted on November 13, 2019.

According to testimony and evidence presented at trial, in 2007, Lasane was convicted of attempted sexual battery on a child under the age of 12. As part of his sentence, the court designated Lasane a sexual predator and ordered him to register as a sex offender in the State of Florida for life.

In September 2019, Lasane met a 14-year-old girl on a social networking website. During the next five weeks, Lasane enticed and persuaded the girl to engage in sexual activity, communicating with her through text messages and phone calls. In late October, Lasane arranged to meet the girl at a restaurant in Orlando, which was within walking distance of the apartment where she had been staying. Lasane assured the girl that he would wear a condom so that she would not get pregnant. After attending his court-ordered sexual offender treatment meeting, Lasane traveled to the location to meet the child. When Lasane arrived, law enforcement officers arrested him. The officers found a condom and the cellphone Lasane had used to communicate with the child in his pocket. The 14-year-old girl was actually a law enforcement officer acting in an undercover capacity.

It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Karen L. Gable with the office of Middle District Florida United States Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez.

Trump Says He 'Would Have No Problem' With Selling US Weapons, Including F-35s, to Gulf States

Until now, the US has had a policy of not selling advanced weapons to the Gulf countries that could undermine the military edge of its long-term ally Israel in the region.

US President Donald Trump has stated that he would have no issue with selling modern US-made weapons to the Gulf countries, instead of selling them exclusively to Israel in the region. His statement comes in the wake of Israel striking two peace deals with Gulf countries, the UAE and Bahrain, in a matter of weeks, purportedly clearing the way for Abu Dhabi's long-cherished desire to buy F-35 fighters, EA-18G Growler jets, and Reaper drones.

"They're very wealthy countries for the most part. I personally would have no problem with it. Some people do, they say […] maybe they go to war", Trump said.

POTUS went on to clarify that he is specifically ready to sell the latest fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, the F-35, noting that such an opportunity would mean "tremendous jobs at home". Speaking about the Arab World, the president added on a side note that he had "had a shot" at "taking out" Syrian President Bashar Assad, but chose not to do so due to opposition to the move from then Defence Secretary James Mattis.

Pelosi Raises Concerns Regarding F-35 Sale, Israel's Peace Deal With UAE

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi later commented on the idea of selling F-35 fighter jets to the Gulf states, specifically to the UAE, noting that the Congress would want to evaluate the consequences of a possible sale. She namely stressed that the Congress would want to ensure that Israel retains its military edge in the Middle East after such a sale.

"As we learn more about the full details of both agreements, questions remain […] The US Congress, on a bipartisan basis, will be watching and monitoring to ensure that Israel can maintain its qualitative military edge in the region", Pelosi said.

The speaker went on to comment on the peace agreement between Israel and the UAE, which is set to be signed later on Tuesday, noting that it's "critically important" to understand the details of Tel Aviv's vow to suspend the extension of its sovereignty over certain areas of the West Bank.

NEW DOCS: Did Mueller Lie to House Judiciary about Interviewing for FBI Director Job?

Judicial Watch received 47 pages of documents from the Department of Justice which includes a May 17, 2017, email documenting that Robert Mueller informed the Attorney General’s office he was withdrawing from consideration for director of the FBI. This recently released email raises new questions about Mueller’s testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on July 24, 2019, where he said a May 16, 2017 interview with President Donald Trump was “not about me applying for the job” as FBI director.

The emails were produced to Judicial Watch in response to its February 2, 2019, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice after for all records of communications of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein between May 8 and May 17, 2017 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:19-cv-00481)).

Robert Mueller’s Conflict of Interest

“This is an extraordinary document in the sense that it ought to generate a criminal investigation into Mueller’s testimony,” Fitton stated in last week’s Weekly Update.

Ongoing Judicial Watch investigations have uncovered documents that appear to contradict – in Fitton’s words – FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s previous statements about his potential bid for the position of FBI Director. Appearing to conflict with this statement made before the House Judiciary Committee on July 24, 2019, Fitton states that “emails from Rod Rosenstein show that Mueller pulled himself out of the running for FBI Director on the very day he was pulled for special counsel. The email suggests that Mueller communicated directly with Rosenstein and withdrew his name from the job.”

As Fitton explains, these findings came as part of a Judicial Watch lawsuit investigating the “seven days in May [2017],” the period in which president Trump “fired” then-FBI Director James Comey. Judicial Watch has narrowed in on the activities of Comey’s successor, “his buddy, McCabe who was acting director of the FBI… and Rod Rosenstein [who both] were thinking of ways to overthrow president Trump.” In an apparent attempt to keep their conversations secret, McCabe told Mueller that the boss “doesn’t know we’re talking” – revealing McCabe’s close interaction with Mueller during the hiring process, a detail he seemingly wanted to keep hidden from “the boss” – which Fitton believes is in reference to president Trump. “The point was that he was secretly talking to Mueller while he was also considering him for the FBI Director position.”

The congressional hearing focused on Mueller’s conversations with the president, with whom he allegedly did not discuss his running for FBI Director. Rather, Mueller states that he discussed “what sort of person should be in the FBI job” – a strange, and potentially untrue recounting of the events according to Fitton.

“It shows that the Mueller operation was conceived in sin in the sense that there was an inherent conflict of interest Mueller had. He was investigating how allegedly Comey’s firing was an obstruction of justice. How could he investigate that issue if he interviewed for the very job. He would be a witness.”

“He was looking to get the job and he did have a conflict of interest,” Fitton noted.

If you’re concerned about Mueller’s conflicts of interest, and government corruption at large, support Judicial Watch today. It’s the best way to ensure your concerns are heard in court, and in the public square.

CIA Sponsored the SBU Operation To Kidnap 33 Russians In Belarus

Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP) learned the names of the chief participants in the provocation in which Russian citizens were arrested in Belarus prior to the elections.

“It’s not us, it’s an FSB provocation”—that was the official reaction of Ukrainian special services to the failure of their operation in Minsk. KP explained in detail how 33 Russians, most of whom fought on the Donbass, were lured to Belarus. They were promised a flight from Minsk to Venezuela to protect Rosneft facilities.

In the meantime Ukrainian services told their Belarusian equivalents that these persons are Wagner PMC associates who came to “destabilize the situation” prior to the elections. The Russians were arrested in Minsk and accused first of terrorism and later in preparing mass disorders. Kiev sent a request for extradition those who fought against Ukrainian forces on the Donbass…And nobody knows how it would have ended if it weren’t for Russian agencies uncovering the Ukrainian intelligence services plan. And sending its details to Minsk.

Before our compatriots were sent back to the Motherland, they received apologies from Viktor, Aleksandr Lukashenko’s eldest son. Ukrainian journalist blasted out a story that the operation failed due to several officials’ treachery. Verkhovna Rada initiated the establishment of a Temporary Investigative Committee to identify the “traitor”.

It is also now clear that certain CIA officials from the Kiev office stood behind the operation. A source in Russian intelligence told the details to the KP journalist.

Ukrainians Kept Track

– Do we now have a full picture of the provocation?

– Relevant agencies achieved clarity a long time ago, already when they were arrested in Minsk. It was definitively established Ukraine’s services stood behind the operation, which was announced on August 7. We determined the tickets were bought by specific individuals on Ukraine’s territory, and the fake phone numbers were indirectly procured from Kiev.

According to my interlocutor, new information appeared during the last month pointing to Ukraine’s participation in the operation. For example, the advertisement to hire security personnel for Rosneft was placed on September 25, 2019, using the IP address of the Russian company Rekonn which was rented by Aleksey Anatolyevich Kutsyn, a citizen of Ukraine.

– The future Temporary Investigative Commission of the Rada which Zelensky does not want to see created, as well as “independent” journalists like Gordon, Arestovich, and Butusov, could themselves turn to, for example, Georgi Lortkipanidze, the former advisor to the current SBU head Vasiliy Gritsak, who could explain who gave the directives to transfer money to, among others, Chechens hiding in Kiev, Daniel Albert and Akhmadov Khasmagomed, says my interlocutor. –They will tell you who asked them to organize the money received in Minsk by Gennadiy Kumpan’s son Vladislov. The first, I remind you, met our citizens on the Belarusian side. One can also find in Odessa Konstantin Tikhomirov, a fraudster who fled from St. Petersburg in 2018, and ask him who asked him to use his connections in St. Petersburg to transfer money to Belarus for the snior member of the Wagner group. In order to find Tikhomirov as quickly as possible, we recommend find a local inhabitant by the name of Vadim Verbitskiy—he’ll tell you.

Incidentally, as soon as our compatriots were arrested, Ukraine’s ambassador in Minsk was the first to know, as indicated by his July 30 report to Kiev. According to our source, if Ukraine was not a party to this provocation, it’s hardly likely Ukraine’s embassy would know so quickly of it.

The Kiev Residence

– Both SBU and Ukraine’s foreign intelligence denied their involvement. The new director of the Main Directorate of Intelligence at Ukraine’s MoD, Kirill Budanov, said outright this was an FSB provocation. At the same time Ukrainian journalist Gordon bragged even his interview with Lukashenko was part of the special operation.

– But who likes to admit to a failure? One wants to look like a winner. Hence the mutually contradictory statements and actions, deliberate and spontaneous leaks to the media and the Internet. If you add the clear shock displayed by Ukrainian authorities once they realized their dirty designs to “covertly” use a friendly country were uncovered. And they also now had to explain themselves to the CIA.

– Do we know who specifically participated in developing this provocation?

– We do. The future Rada commission or independent journalists ought to visit House 5/7 on Patorzhinskiy St. in Kiev where the 5th Directorate of SBU Counter-Intelligence is located, go to third floor, open doors to rooms 309, 314, 315, 316, and even better 317, find there, for example, Vladislav Dolgozvyaga who works in the 2nd Department of 5th Directorate, and ask him to get this case out of the safe. In case the safe is empty, we can give you the list of 1st and 2nd Department, 5th Directorate, who worked on this topic in various forms and at various times.

Oregon Says Reports of Antifa Firesetters Are Nuts, So Why Did This County Call for Curfew Because of Them?

The commissioners of a wildfire-ravaged county in Oregon called a curfew late last week because of the specter of antifa firesetters.

Now hold up a minute. Wasn’t talk of antifa leftists’ setting fires just crazy talk? We were assured by the Democratic leadership that these were the smoke-induced fever dreams of country hicks.

But it turns out, it wasn’t crazy talk at all.

On Thursday, an emergency meeting of the Clackamas County Commission was called to determine whether the commission should call a 10 p.m. curfew to more easily identify the out-of-town riff-raff.

Stop the rumors about leftist antifa firesetters in Oregon, residents were told. Don’t be part of the problem, they were admonished. Stories of antifa firesetters were put on such close hold – erased from Facebook at the behest of Oregon state officials – that a Clackamas County Deputy Sheriff was put on leave after he discussed a videographer’s report about antifa firesetters.

But at the commission meeting, Clackamas County Captain Jeff Smith injected a bolt of holy sh*t into the proceedings. See the video below.

And this is not specific to one area, but all over the county, both outlying and even closer into town of people of extremist groups staging gas cans for later destruction. And equally concerning is there are reports of people from other extremist groups, it’s not confirmed antifa, but suspected antifa, this is more specific to the Estacada area, reports and sightings of people armed with chainsaws and the goal was to fall telephone poles in hopes of starting further fires. And that’s all the information I have at this point.

As I’ve reported multiple times, rumor control is difficult in Oregon right now. But what’s rumor and what’s operational intelligence?

The 5,600 people fighting the fires are doing everything they can to control the more than one million-plus acres on fire. And it turns out, some of these reports dismissed as the rantings of rubes are being taken deadly seriously by investigators.

As I pointed out Sunday, there have been sightings of people who look like the goons that these folks see on their TVs burning down Portland on a nightly basis. I’ve spoken with a well-respected local businessman who many Oregonians would know, who wondered why he saw a collection of protesters gathering as the flames were getting close. They were there. There were protest live streamers, there was a coven of witches who participate in the riots, who came to town to donate food to “their community,” and others. Burn today, feed tomorrow. Pass the sage.

There have been reports of people stashing supplies of gas. God knows there have been plenty of reports of whackadoodles starting fires. My PJMedia colleague Tyler O’Neil has the story about a frequent protest firesetter who was released on Portland’s terrorist catch-and-release system who turned around and started six more fires. Nothing to see here. How about that accused terrorist in Portland who just got caught trying to light a natural gas line on fire at a Portland hotel? Whistling past the graveyard.

Watch the Captain’s report yourself below. Then read the story about the deputy who was put on leave for discussing less than this with a protest videographer who was attempting to give him some information.

Something’s not right here.

World Trade Organization Rules US China Tariffs Illegal, Recognized Chinese Intellectual Property Theft

The U.S. imposed $400 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods between March 2018 and September 2019

The tariffs were imposed in retaliation for the theft of intellectual property by Chinese concerns

The WTO ruling recognized the validity of the allegations against China but said the U.S. should have sought dispute resolution first

The World Trade Organization ruled Tuesday the $400 billion in U.S. tariffs imposed on some Chinese goods since 2018 violated international rules, but the investigative panel did not propose any remedy.

WTO said it did not dispute U.S. allegations of intellectual property theft by China but said the Trump administration had failed to meet the “burden of demonstrating that the measures [taken] are provisionally justified” by WTO rules.

The ruling has no practical effect, especially since the administration can file an appeal within 60 days, which will keep the issue tied up because the WTO appellate division is virtually paralyzed since the U.S. has refused to appoint new members.

The Trump administration began imposing tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum in March and April 2018, added aircraft parts, semiconductors and microscopes in the following July; added motorcycles, steam turbines and railway cars in August; added fabric, modems, chemicals, furniture and seafood in September, and added agriculture products, antiques, clothing, kitchenware and footwear in September 2019. The two countries reached a phase 1 trade agreement in January 2020 that eased the levies.

Tuesday’s ruling came in response to a complaint filed by China in which Beijing alleged the tariffs had violated WTO most-favored treatment provisions. It also alleged the U.S. violated the trade dispute resolution process by not seeking dispute resolution before imposing the levies.

The U.S. did not file any counterclaim despite $130 billion in tariffs imposed by China during the same period.

“The United States has not presented to the panel any refutation of China's assertion that the measures are inconsistent with [WTO rules],” WTO concluded.

Russian Warplanes Pound Terrorists’ Training Camps Near Idlib (Map, Photos)

On September 15, warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted a new series of airstrikes on positions of Turkish-backed terrroist groups in the countryside of the Syrian city of Idlib.

According to reports, the strikes hit facilities of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) near the villages of Sheikh Bahr and and Shaykh Dawud.

Justice Department Watchdog Probing Handling of Stone Sentencing

The Justice Department has launched an internal inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the handling of the criminal case of Roger Stone, former political adviser to President Donald Trump.

The probe by the department’s inspector general will reportedly look into Attorney General William Barr’s February decision to override a sentencing recommendation for Stone made by rank-and-file prosecutors. The prosecutors recommended a sentence of seven to nine years in prison for Stone, but the department later filed another recommendation asking for a lighter sentence.

The DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General would not “confirm or deny the existence of any ongoing investigation” to The Epoch Times.

Meanwhile, DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told media outlets that they “welcome the review.” She did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.

The revelation of the inquiry was reported earlier on Monday by NBC, citing anonymous sources. The report claims that the inquiry was triggered by the testimony of Aaron Zelinsky, who testified before Congress in June, and will focus on the events in February. The Epoch Times cannot independently verify these claims.

Zelinsky, one of the four prosecutors who withdrew from the case, told the House Judiciary Committee that the U.S. attorney in charge of the case, Tim Shea, was “receiving heavy pressure from the highest levels of the Department of Justice to cut Stone a break, and that the U.S. Attorney’s sentencing instructions to us were based on political considerations.”

He also testified how the DOJ was “exerting significant pressure on the line prosecutors in the case to obscure the correct Sentencing Guidelines calculation to which Roger Stone was subject—and to water down and in some cases outright distort the events that transpired in his trial and the criminal conduct that gave rise to his conviction,” according to his opening statement.

At the time, the DOJ disputed Zelinsky’s account, saying that Zelinsky, who did not have any discussions with any member of political leadership about the sentencing, had based his allegations on his “own interpretation of events and hearsay (at best), not first-hand knowledge.”

Senator Asks US to Reject TikTok-Oracle Deal, Saying it Allows for Chinese Regime Control

The United States should reject a proposed partnership between Oracle and TikTok that would allow for continued Chinese regime control over the app and consequently endanger American national interests, said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).

Oracle reached a deal over the weekend with TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, in which Oracle would serve as a “trusted technology provider” for the Chinese-owned video-sharing app. The proposal is currently awaiting a review from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an interagency body that screens foreign investment transactions for national security concerns.

In a Sept. 14 letter (pdf) to the committee chair, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Hawley urged the CFIUS to take a more critical look at the “Oracle-ByteDance collaboration” and reject anything short of a clean break with the app’s Chinese ties.

“ByteDance can still pursue a full sale of TikTok, its code, and its algorithm to a U.S. company, so that the app can be rebuilt from the ground up to remove any trace of CCP influence. Or perhaps, given constraints imposed by Chinese law, the only feasible way to maintain Americans’ security is to effectively ban the TikTok app in the United States altogether,” he wrote.

Popular among teenagers, TikTok has faced intense scrutiny for privacy issues and for censoring sensitive user content to toe the Chinese Communist Party’s line.

It remains unclear whether the new deal entails transferring the TikTok’s coveted recommendation algorithms to Oracle—which could be subject to a new Beijing export regulation that requires sales of such technologies to be approved by Chinese authorities.

Regardless, as “ByteDance has no intention whatsoever of relinquishing ultimate control of TikTok,” the proposed partnership “leaves fully intact” the national security threat of the Chinese regime having access to Americans’ data, the senator said.

Chinese intelligence law requires all Chinese companies like ByteDance to cooperate with Beijing’s intelligence efforts and hand over data in accordance with the regime’s will.

With such “repressive” laws still in force, “any corporate shell game that leaves TikTok in the hands of ByteDance will simply perpetuate the original problem,” Hawley said.

“In short, the proposal violates the President’s executive order,” he added.

Microsoft, whose offer ByteDance had turned down, said on Sunday that its solution “would have made significant changes to ensure the service met the highest standards for security, privacy, online safety, and combatting disinformation.”

Officer Shot Outside Federal Courthouse In Downtown Phoenix

ARIZONA — A court officer, or possibly a US Marshal, was shot outside a federal courthouse in downtown Phoenix Tuesday.

Officials say it was a drive-by shooting that targeted the Sandra Day O’Connor U.S. Courthouse. The wounded officer was hit in the vest and is expected to survive.

There is a manhunt underway for the shooter and police have released a photo of the suspect vehicle.

“THE $2.5 TRILLION THEFT”: RAND study uncovers massive income shift to the top 1%

Just how far has the working class been left behind by the winner-take-all economy? A new analysis by the RAND Corporation examines what rising inequality has cost Americans in lost income—and the results are stunning.

A full-time worker whose taxable income is at the median—with half the population making more and half making less—now pulls in about $50,000 a year. Yet had the fruits of the nation’s economic output been shared over the past 45 years as broadly as they were from the end of World War II until the early 1970s, that worker would instead be making $92,000 to $102,000. (The exact figures vary slightly depending on how inflation is calculated.)

The findings, which land amid a global pandemic, help to illuminate the paradoxes of an economy in which so-called essential workers are struggling to make ends meet while the rich keep getting richer.

“We were shocked by the numbers,” says Nick Hanauer, a venture capitalist who came up with the idea for the research along with David Rolf, founder of Local 775 of the Service Employees International Union and president of the Fair Work Center in Seattle. “It explains almost everything. It explains why people are so pissed off. It explains why they are so economically precarious.”

“THE $2.5 TRILLION THEFT”

Notably, it isn’t just those in the middle who’ve been hit. RAND found that full-time, prime-age workers in the 25th percentile of the U.S. income distribution would be making $61,000 instead of $33,000 had everyone’s earnings from 1975 to 2018 expanded roughly in line with gross domestic product, as they did during the 1950s and ’60s.

Workers in the 75th percentile would be at $126,000 instead of $81,000. Remarkably, even those in the 90th percentile would be better off than they are now if economic growth had been shared as it was in the post-war era. They’d be making $168,000 rather than $133,000.

Tally it all up, according to RAND, and the bottom 90% of American workers would be bringing home an additional $2.5 trillion in total annual income if economic gains were as equitably divided as they’d been in the past—leading Rolf to dub the phenomenon “the $2.5 trillion theft.”

“From the standpoint of people who have worked hard and played by the rules and yet are participating far less in economic growth than Americans did a generation ago,” he says, “whether you call it ‘reverse distribution’ or ‘theft,’ it demands to be called something.”

The RAND data also makes clear who the winners from inequality are: those in the top 1%.

Of course, they’d be in a less advantageous position if the economic pie had been divvied up since the mid-1970s like it was previously. If that were the case, RAND says, yearly income for the average one-percenter would fall from about $1.2 million to $549,000.

Nope made in city of London/Rothschild/Israel/Swiss banking houses

China is a puppet state

Twitter Suspends Account Of Chinese Scientist Who Published Paper Alleging Covid Was Created In Wuhan Lab

On Sunday afternoon we asked how long before the twitter account of the "rogue" Chinese virologist, Dr. Li-Meng Yan, who yesterday "shocked" the world of establishment scientists and other China sycophants, by publishing a "smoking gun" scientific paper demonstrating that the Covid-19 virus was manmade, is "silenced."

We now have the answer: less than two days. A cursory check of Dr Yan's twitter page reveals that the account has been suspended as of this moment.

It was not immediately clear what justification Twitter had to suspend the scientist who, to the best of our knowledge, had just 4 tweets as of Tuesday morning none of which violated any stated Twitter policies, with the only relevant tweet being a link to her scientific paper co-written with three other Chinese scientists titled "Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic Route" which laid out why the Wuhan Institute of Virology had created the covid-19 virus.

While we appreciate that Twitter may have experienced pressure from either China, or the established scientist community, to silence Dr Yan for proposing a theory that flies in the face of everything that has been accepted as undisputed gospel - after all Twitter did just that to us - we are confident that by suspending her account, Jack Dorsey has only added more fuel to the fire of speculations that the covid virus was indeed manmade (not to mention countless other tangential conspiracy theories).

If Yan was wrong, why not just let other scientists respond in the open to the all too valid arguments presented in Dr. Yan's paper? Isn't that what "science" is all about? Why just shut her up?

Because if we have already crossed the tipping point when anyone who proposes an "inconvenient" explanation for an established "truth" has to be immediately censored, then there is little that can be done to salvage the disintegration of a society that once held freedom of speech as paramount.

For those who missed it, here is our post breaking down Dr. Yan's various allegations which twitter saw fit to immediately censor instead of allowing a healthy debate to emerge.

We hope Twitter will provide a very reasonable and sensible explanation for this unprecedented censorship.

For those who missed it, her paper is below:
