I feel bad for people that still believe MSM is telling them the whole story. But they continue to rely on it as their “trusted sources”! I can’t tell you how irritating it is to hear those words

Senators Probe Netflix Partnership With Chinese Genocide Denier
GOP senators press streaming giant on relationship with author who defended CCP's Uighur repression
Finally the senate taking in real issues. Biden report must have given them steam to do their duty. And Netflix being exposed for what they are, scum
EPTEMBER 23, 2020 6:00 PM
Republican senators are demanding Netflix explain its decision to adapt a Chinese science fiction trilogy written by a Xinjiang genocide denier into an original series.
The senators, including Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.) and Rick Scott (Fla.), are marshaling support against the streaming giant's plan to adapt Chinese author Liu Cixin's bestselling Three-Body Problem trilogy into a live-action series. Cixin defended his government's brutal suppression of Muslim Uighurs in a 2019 interview with the New Yorker.
"The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is committing atrocities in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR)," the legislators wrote. "Sadly, a number of U.S. companies continue to either actively or tacitly allow the normalization of, or apologism for, these crimes. The decision to produce an adaptation of Mr. Liu’s work can be viewed as such normalization."
Bela Bajaria, a Joe Biden campaign megadonor who gave as much as $500,000 to a group affiliated with the candidate, was in charge of "international content" when Netflix ordered the series. She now oversees all of Netflix's original series across the world, according to the Wall Street Journal. Netflix, which did not return a request for comment, previously told the Washington Free Beacon that she "works on the series side of the business."
Netflix's collaboration with Liu reflects Hollywood's willingness to cater to the massive Chinese market, even if it means turning a blind eye to the country's human rights abuses. Disney's recent live-action remake of Mulan even thanked Xinjiang authorities—some of them directly implicated in the Uighur crackdown—in its closing credit. Hollywood studios also routinely avoid topics that might anger Chinese censors, going so far as to change movie villains’ nationalities from Chinese to North Korean.
Liu, the author of the trilogy, offered a vigorous defense of the Chinese government in a wide-ranging 2019 interview with the New Yorker, offering justifications for everything from the CCP's one-child policy to its authoritarian governance. When asked about the Chinese government's detention of more than one million Muslim Uighurs, Liu argued that the Uighurs posed a terrorist threat and claimed that the government is "trying to lift them out of poverty."
Netflix announced plans to adapt The Three-Body Problem on Sept. 1, enlisting Game of Thrones writer-producer duo David Benioff and D.B. Weiss for the project. The company also brought on Liu as a "consulting producer" to produce the English-language adaptation, according to a press release.
The senators wrote that the partnership made Netflix complicit in the ongoing repression of the Uighurs and asked the company if it knew of Liu's pro-China comments. They did not go as far as to call for the outright cancellation of the adaptation but asked whether the company will "cast a critical eye" on the project.
"While Congress seriously considers the systemic crimes carried out against the Uighurs, we have significant concerns with Netflix’s decision to do business with an individual who is parroting dangerous CCP propaganda," the letter read. "In the face of such atrocities in XUAR, there no longer exist corporate decisions of complacency, only complicity."
Bajaria and her husband Doug Prochilo cohosted a Biden fundraiser headlined by vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) in September, soliciting donations from the Hollywood elite. Prochilo, also a prolific Biden donor, deleted his Twitter account after the Free Beacon reported that he tweeted denigrating comments about Republican women.
"Pipe down, you illegal immigrant criminal," Prochilo tweeted in July, referring to First Lady Melania Trump.
The letter adds to Netflix’s list of controversies over its airing of foreign films and TV series. The company faced intense scrutiny in early September for airing French coming-of-age film Cuties, which features scantily dressed 11-year-olds performing sexually charged dance moves—something critics say is borderline child pornography.
In addition to Scott and Blackburn, Senators Martha McSally (R., Ariz.), Kevin Cramer (R., N.D.), and Thom Tillis (R., N.C.) also signed the letter.

Biden Campaign to Appear Alongside Hanoi Jane
Event comes one week after Biden hosted veterans outreach roundtable
She will never outlive that name, for sure!
Whoever takes her advice is brain dead!
The Biden campaign, which has bombarded President Donald Trump with attacks about his respect for U.S. soldiers, will be campaigning this weekend with Jane Fonda, a celebrity best known for fraternizing with enemy troops during the Vietnam War.
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris is set to join Fonda at a Saturday virtual event held by progressive advocacy group Supermajority. The event—titled "Supercharge: Women All In"—will "bring together thousands of women to laugh, sing, dance, and celebrate women's political power," according to the group's website.
Fonda traveled to North Vietnam in 1972 as part of an anti-war protest that saw her pose for photos with enemy troops on an anti-aircraft gun. The photo sparked outrage among Vietnam veterans, earning her the nickname "Hanoi Jane." Fonda's public appearances remain subject to controversy—a group of Ohio veterans called on the actress to donate her $83,000 speaking fee to the families of fallen soldiers ahead of a May appearance at Kent State University.
Harris and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden have criticized President Donald Trump on veterans' issues in recent weeks. During a September "veterans roundtable," Biden criticized Trump for ignoring "the bounty on the heads of Americans in Afghanistan," referencing a slew of June reports that claimed Russia bribed the Taliban to kill U.S. servicemen. One day before the roundtable, Marine Corps general Frank McKenzie—who oversees military operations in the region—told NBC News that a review of U.S. intelligence failed to corroborate the alleged bounties.
Harris promoted the roundtable in a tweet, saying American veterans "sacrifice so much for our nation and deserve our respect and gratitude, both while on active duty and after." The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment on her upcoming appearance with Fonda.
Fonda has long supported Harris financially, contributing nearly $6,000 to the Democrat's Senate campaign since 2016. The actress also gave $1,000 to the Biden Victory Fund in June after donating a combined $10,300 to Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), Democratic governors Steve Bullock (Mont.) and Jay Inslee (Wash.), and billionaire Tom Steyer during the presidential primary.
Saturday's event will also be attended by Warren, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). It will feature a "yelling room where participants are encouraged to scream out their emotions," according to event organizers.
Supermajority was launched in 2019 by a group of progressive activists, including former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards and Black Lives Matter cofounder Alicia Garza. The group has raised $2.5 million in 2020, with $2 million coming from liberal billionaire George Soros's Democracy PAC. Supermajority aims to train and mobilize "a community of all ages, races, and backgrounds to fight for gender equality together," according to its website.
Fonda in 2017 said she does not regret her trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War but does regret the infamous photo with North Vietnamese troops. She added that while she is not "proud of America today," she is "proud of the resistance."
"I'm proud of the people who are turning out in unprecedented numbers and continue over and over again to protest what Trump is doing. I'm very proud of them, that core," Fonda said.

Princeton Denies That Its ‘Embedded’ Racism Violates the Civil Rights Act
Holy shit anons, that’s a bold defense! They must have LawFare attorneys. Kek
Princeton University has responded to a federal civil rights inquiry with a seemingly contradictory claim: Although the university does not discriminate against minorities, it is nonetheless systemically racist.
The Department of Education is investigating whether Princeton violated the Civil Rights Act after the school's president, Christopher Eisgruber, said that racism remains "embedded" in the university. In response to the department's inquiry, Princeton claimed that the school does not actively discriminate against minority students and faculty, but also that systemic racism still exists on campus.
"Princeton has long been committed to creating and maintaining a community where all can thrive, and stands by its representations … that is complies with all laws and regulations governing equal opportunity, nondiscrimination, and harassment," the Princeton letter reads. "The university also stands by our statements about the prevalence of systemic racism and our commitment to reckon with its continued effects."
On Sept. 2, Eisgruber told students and staff that "racist assumptions from the past … remain embedded in structures of the university itself." Following his statement, the Education Department requested information regarding Princeton's acceptance and hiring processes to determine whether the university discriminates against minorities. If found in violation of civil rights law, the school would become ineligible for the millions of dollars in federal funding it receives.
Princeton condemned the department's investigation, claiming that it is punishment for acknowledging the nation's and the university's systemic racism.
"It is unfortunate that the department appears to believe that grappling honestly with the nation's history and the current effects of systemic racism runs afoul of existing law," the school said.
Princeton senior Rebekah Adams told the Washington Free Beacon she thinks the response letter was released to appease vocal student activists.
"Princeton released the statement to both claim that [it] uphold[s] diversity [and] that it is embedded in racism," Adams said. "[It's] an attempt to keep appeasing the vocal students who, for instance, wanted Woodrow Wilson's name removed."
Another Princeton senior, Tyler Eddy, said that the statement exemplified the way liberal institutions use phrases like "systemic racism" to delegitimize political opponents.
"The word racism carries a lot of power and emotion. … Toying with a word so that you can now level accusations of ‘white supremacy' [at] your political opponents … is anything but honest."
OK DeVoss it’s time to defund the assholes

Arizona Governor Halts Last-Minute Dem Push to Change Voting Laws
Ducey: 'This isn't the time to experiment'
Arizona's Republican governor Doug Ducey rejected a push by the state's Democratic secretary of state to permit online and phone options for individuals to register and even vote in the upcoming election.
"The responsibility of election officials to uphold our constitution and laws is not only a crucial responsibility, it should stand as the final test on whether changes to our election policies and procedures are appropriate—no exceptions," Ducey said in a letter to Katie Hobbs, Arizona's secretary of state.
Hobbs requested the governor issue an executive order to allow telephone and video conferencing for people who are hospitalized or in assisted living facilities and could not vote in person. But Ducey said he would not make procedural changes this close to Election Day and denied the request, arguing that weeks before the election is not the "time to experiment" with rule changes.
"The eyes of the country will be on Arizona, and the only way we can assure the electorate of the integrity of our election system is to refrain from changes in the middle of the election cycle," Ducey wrote. "This isn't the time to experiment."
Ducey told Hobbs that further proposals to change the voting laws "will not be considered at this time."
Arizona is the latest state where Democratic officials are trying to change the voting rules weeks before the election. Minnesota secretary of state Steve Simon is being sued by Republicans for his decree to allow ballots mailed in eight days after the election, even if they lack a postmark.

>>10769185 Nope and no ones sane listens to them. What a bad strategy move. I’m positive bidens campaign is losing on purpose to usher in dick woman or Hag
Anons I’ve got a list of Fallen Ones I would give as a priority to take down, my List is extensive and for some reason I can’t narrow it down. seriously there’s so many that parade around daily, I guess the very first I want taken down, which will cut off the head of the snake is:
George Soros and every company, corporation, nonprofit he’s involved with, including all companies related to his children, any money that makes it way from donors money to any left wing organization, anyone that agrees with him, anyone that is compromised by him, anyone and anything in the universe that has his dirty finger prints, seize all the assets, arrest all the people everywhere, anyone that slightly agrees with him, including all professors in US schools going down to preschool. Them when all are seized and arrested, ban him and his kind to a desert island or Gitmo. But truthfully the massive organization he has, we should purchase a major part of Mongolia, no where near living people, put up a prison, keep them in there and fir the perfect punishment;
Have TVs everywhere playing Trump Rallies 24 hours a day and when they get locked in at night the cannot use earplugs. And they have to eat Trump figured Pancakes, bacon and whatever else would remind them they are missing they’re favorite Trump rally.
That would be JUSTICE in my opinion
What’s yours?
Ive been thinking about this for a long time…Kek
