Chief of Staff Mark Meadows Announces President Trump Has Requested Declassification of Critical Spygate Documents including Danchenko Interviews

Chief of Staff for President Trump, Mark Meadows, joined FOX and Friends this morning to give an update on President Trump’s health and recovery.

During the interview Meadows announced President Trump had ordered him to release requested documents from the Deep State Spygate scandal.

Chief of Staff Mark Meadows: He’s already tasked me with getting some declassification rolling in a follow up to some of the requests Devin Nunes and others have made.

Mark Meadows is referring to the classified interviews with former Brookings Institute researcher Igor Danchenko who is the source for the bogus Steele dossier.

The primary “source” for the anti-Trump dossier authored by ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele “was a Russian spy, and our FBI [director] James Comey… knew it the entire time. Comey ran with the spying on the Trump campaign knowing the entire investigation was based on a lie.

FBI Director Chris Wray and CIA Director Gina Haspel are sitting on this evidence and refuse to work with congressional investigators.

Dutch Govt: "Wear A Mask!"; Chief 'Scientist' - Don't Bother!

Though I don’t follow the news in the Netherlands much, I happened to see something the other day that I think is a “beautiful” example of why so many countries get their “measures” wrong, their lockdowns, facemasks etc.

First of all, they all screwed up their initial lockdowns, which pretty much were March-June all over. And second lockdowns are more something they like to threaten people with than actually considered options. Unless things really get out of hand, if for instance numbers of deaths suddenly increase a lot, but given the change towards infections occurring in much younger people than before, that is not likely. Plus, of course, no-one wants even more economic damage.

And now what you see is the politicians don’t know what to do anymore. They turn to “their scientists” again, but many have before given advice that is different from what they say now, that hasn’t worked, and that often contradicts what their colleagues in other countries say. And so everyone starts blaming “the people”.

But the people have mostly obeyed the lockdowns and become experts themselves, or so they think, and seen them go nowhere. That makes the positions of politicians and “experts” much weaker than it was 6-7 months ago. It’s about credibility, and they’ve squandered it. Why “must we listen to the scientists” if that does us no good?

The Netherlands, like many European countries, is in a second wave that is seeing many more new daily cases than in spring. Partly due to more testing, but not entirely:

St. Louis County Executive Sam Page Connected to Ballot-Harvesting Specialists Who Are Also Operating in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania

The Center for Tech and Civic Life is a far-left, insanely well-funded organization that specializes in ballot harvesting. And St. Louis County Executive Sam Page has taken grants from the firm to ensure the November 3 election goes the way he wants.

Page is in a tight race with Republican Paul Berry III. Page can’t afford any loose ends. Center for Tech and Civic Life is the Democrats’ go-to organization when voters threaten to get in the way of a Democrat win. Via the UNZ Review:

On Saturday, Sept. 26, as advertised by the Biden campaign, Madison poll workers turned out across the city to register voters and collect absentee ballots, even though in-person absentee ballot collection is not supposed to start until two weeks before Election Day, according to Wisconsin state election law. Several of McKenna’s listeners showed up to photograph the city government workers’ activities promoted by the Biden for President campaign. The poll workers stuffed ballots into “red zipper bags with no security whatsoever. The poll workers witnessed people’s (blank) ballots, just like you would if you did an in-person absentee ballot, threw them in the red zipper bags, and we don’t know what’s become of these ballots since,” McKenna told me.

This is called “ballot harvesting,” and is the Democrat Party’s latest tool to steal elections. As described by Bruce Bialosky at TownHall.com:

Ballot harvesting is the process where organized workers or volunteers–people you don’t know–collect absentee ballots from voters and drop them off at a polling place or election office. Nothing can go wrong there; right?…Orange County, California — which was a Republican stronghold for a long time — had 250,000 harvested ballots turned in on election day. The Republicans have no infrastructure to pursue testing as to how or whether this process was manipulated or fraud was part of the process.

Who organized and funded this ballot-harvesting event? Center for Tech and Civil Life, of course:

Now, enter a shady entity called the “Center for Tech and Civic Life.” It just so happens that this nonprofit “election reform advocacy group,” based in Chicago and founded in 2012, has showered more than $6 million in the five largest cities in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin. In July, using COVID-19 as a pretext to boost mail-in and absentee voting, the center released the following amounts to governmental grantees:

—City of Milwaukee: $2,154,500.

—City of Madison: $1,271,788.

—City of Green Bay: $1,093,400.

—City of Kenosha: $862,779.

—City of Racine: $942,100.

Let’s just say that Center for Tech and Civil Life, funded by Mark Zuckerberg, EBay, Google, and other tech billionaires, is the reason True the Vote exists.

CTCL is vote-fraud on a popsicle stick.

Israeli police clash with Covid-19 lockdown-defying ultra-Orthodox Jews in Bnei Brak & Jerusalem

Violent clashes have erupted in the Israeli city of Bnei Brak and some areas of Jerusalem as authorities tried to enforce Covid-19 lockdown rules on ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities and break up ‘illegal’ prayer gatherings.

Hundreds of people in the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak defied the latest ban on gatherings in enclosed spaces and restriction of outdoor prayers to groups of 20 or less on Sunday.

When the officers arrived and started slapping violators with fines for not wearing masks or ‘social-distancing’, some of them “began resisting and disturbing public order,” resulting in chaotic scuffles according to multiple videos shared online.

Despite police efforts to break up the gathering and at least 13 arrests, worshippers kept gathering at the synagogue, according to the Times of Israel. Authorities faced accusations of excessive force as cops were filmed pushing and shoving people to the ground.

Clashes also broke out in the ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem, where police arrested at least four people for "blocking traffic and burning trash."

Israel’s second coronavirus lockdown went into effect on September 18 as the country saw a surge in new infections. As of Sunday, Israel’s death toll attributed to coronavirus stood at 1,719 fatalities out of some 267,000 recorded Covid-19 cases. The rate of infections in the ultra-Orthodox community was estimated to be more than two times the national average.

Besides fines for violating tough restrictions on public gatherings and meetings with non-close family members, Israelis were also banned from holding demonstrations more than 1km from their homes. The measure, however, failed to stop mass weekly anti-government protests, which instead morphed into a series of smaller ‘socially-distanced’ rallies this weekend.

Leaked Document Reveals Exxon's Plan To Increase Emissions As Energy Space Prepares For Decarbonization

As oil majors prioritize their own decarbonization goals, an internal document viewed by Bloomberg reveals Exxon Mobil Corp. is planning to increase annual carbon-dioxide emissions output by as much as a small country like Greece.

Exxon is one of the biggest corporate emitters of greenhouse gasses globally, and the leak comes as the Texas-based company's rivals, such as BP Plc and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, are planning, or have already begun, to shrink oil and gas operations to become net-zero on carbon by 2050 or before.

The internal document revealed Exxon's stunning investment strategy of more than $200 billion in energy investments that would increase its emissions by about 17% through 2025. These investments are projected to drive higher cash flows and double earnings. However, much of the strategy was developed in pre-virus pandemic times and has yet to be revised for a post-pandemic world of lower oil demand and collapsing energy prices.

But the planning documents show for the first time that Exxon has carefully assessed the direct emissions it expects from the seven-year investment plan adopted in 2018 by Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods. The additional 21 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year that would result from ramping up production dwarfs Exxon's projections for its own efforts to reduce pollution, such as deploying renewable energy and burying some carbon dioxide.

These internal estimates reflect only a small portion of Exxon's total contribution to climate change. Greenhouse gases from direct operations, such as those measured by Exxon, typically account for a fifth of the total at a large oil company; most emissions come from customers burning fuel in vehicles or other end uses, which the Exxon documents don't account for.

That means the full climate impact of Exxon's growth strategy would likely be five times the company's estimate—or about 100 million tons of additional carbon dioxide—had the company accounted for so-called Scope 3 emissions. If its plans are realized, Exxon would add to the atmosphere the annual emissions of a small, developed nation, or 26 coal-fired power plants. -Bloomberg

Despite Exxon's massive investment plan, plunging oil demand has resulted in a collapse in energy prices, which has in turn weighed on the company's shares, as has being kicked out of the Dow. This drop in demand forced Exxon to slash its spending budget by a third in April, and its share price currently hovers around March lows.

Pedophiles & violent criminals receive shorter prison sentences as UK justice system struggles to adjust to Covid-19

Criminals in the United Kingdom, including violent offenders, are receiving reduced sentences due to courts taking into account strict coronavirus regimes in the country’s prisons, The Times has revealed.

British judges have shown leniency since April, after a court ruled that measures implemented to prevent the spread of coronavirus at detention facilities, including extended periods of isolation, could be considered when handing down a sentence. The case involved a man who sexually abused a schoolgirl, the paper reported.

Mercy was also given to a sex offender who was caught trying to groom an underage girl. In July he was jailed for a mere 20 months, apparently because the judge had concerns about the restrictive coronavirus policies adopted by prisons.

Lighter sentences are also being given to violent criminals. In September, two masked burglars who broke into a home and terrorized a family received reduced prison terms because the judge acknowledged that the thugs would have to spend 23 hours a day in their cells due to Covid-19 rules.

In June, the council which sets guidelines for judges issued a notice that highlighted “the concerns that many people have about the effect the Covid-19 emergency is having on conditions in prisons and the potentially heavier impact of custodial sentences on offenders and their families.”

The health crisis has put enormous stress on the country’s justice system, as it attempts to balance safety measures with ensuring justice is meted out.

Not everyone is sympathetic to the reasoning being applied by some judges, however. Tory MP Tim Loughton told The Times that the practice of handing out lighter sentences amounted to a “special summer sale” and a “Covid bonus for prisoners.”

The UK isn’t the only country to face issues surrounding coronavirus and its prison population. Across the United States, prisoners have been released early due to concerns about the disease, prompting criticisms and accusations that the policy has led to an uptick in violent crime in places like New York City.

Feds Grant Foreign Oil Company Right to Seize Land from American Property Owners for Pipeline

This past spring, while much of the country focused on COVID-19, three men who work in an obscure corner of the federal government weighed a question with profound effects across the American West. On the docket was a proposal to build a natural gas pipeline that would slice through hundreds of miles of Oregon wilderness, private lands and areas sacred to American Indians. The plan, which had been repeatedly rejected by state and federal regulators for more than a decade, would give a Canadian company the right to seize the land it needed from any American property owner who stood in the way. The government panel that would make the decision can meet in person. But on this March afternoon, it was conducting the people’s business in writing — government by what amounts to dueling memos.

The members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are typically the kind of people President Donald Trump has in mind when he derisively talks about the “deep state”: faceless bureaucrats who pull the levers of power with little scrutiny or accountability. Except these were Trump’s bureaucrats. Two of the three members had been appointed by the president, whose enthusiasm for any project that might be cast as boosting America’s fossil fuel industry is nothing if not predictable.

It is hard to argue that the plan to connect the Oregon coast via pipeline to the Canadian Rockies would do much for American frackers hit hard by an international energy glut. For one thing, the gas would come from Canadian wells, at least at first. Also, it was uncertain whether there was much of a market for gas that would be piped 229 miles through Oregon to supertankers docked at a high-tech facility in the fishing town of Coos Bay. Backers of the project had assured FERC that they would find customers in Asia, that many countries would someday stop buying cheap and locally available coal and fuel their industries with far more expensive but cleaner North American gas. Even supporters acknowledged that such a shift was unlikely to happen anytime soon and might not tap American gas wells along the route for years.

The state of Oregon had refused to approve the project, and FERC had rejected it once already. But Jordan Cove, as it’s called, had come roaring back to life with help from a powerful advocate operating from what Trump likes to call “the swamp.” The lead lobbyist for the Canadian company was David Urban, a Republican political operative credited with delivering the traditionally Democratic state of Pennsylvania to the president in the 2016 election. The argument in favor of the project hit two key tenets of Trumpism: It would create jobs in the U.S. and counter the influence China had on its neighbors as an energy exporter.

By law, the question before the FERC commissioners was whether the project served the “public interest.” Simply put, did the benefits of constructing a pipeline and a facility that would turn gas into its more easily transported liquid form, called liquefied natural gas, or LNG for short, outweigh the possible harm?

Hollywood Celebrities Triggered by Trump Surprise Visit to Fans Outside Walter Reed: ‘Impeach Him,’ ‘F**king Sociopath’

Hollywood celebrities experienced a massive conniption when President Donald Trump paid a surprise visit Sunday to his supporters who were rallying outside Walter Reed Military Hospital in Washington.

The president’s drive-by visit, during which he wore a mask and never left his vehicle, prompted stars including Bette Midler, Jim Carrey, Patton Oswalt, and Michael Moore to express their rage and disbelief on social media.

Many of those stars claimed that President Trump was endangering the lives of the Secret Service agents assigned to ride along with him. The White House said that the president’s drive was approved by medical officials and that the necessary safety precautions were taken.

Jim Carrey was among the Hollywood elites who accused the president of putting government lives in danger by taking “the Secret Service for a dangerous ride.”

“Every person in the vehicle during that unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ has to be quarantined for 14 days,” Dr. Phillips, attending physician, Walter Reed. “They may get sick; they may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to risk their lives for theater. #INSANITY

Trump Urges People To Vote In Tweets From Walter Reed Hospital

President Donald Trump encouraged people to vote Monday in a string of all-capitalized tweets touting his presidential accomplishments.

Tweeting from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he is currently receiving treatment for the novel coronavirus, Trump claimed that “next year will be the best ever,” and that a vote for Democrats would lead to “the biggest [tax increase] in the history of our country.”

Trump also referenced a range of other issues ranging from the stock market to religious liberty and the Space Force in his series tweets, each followed by one word: “VOTE!”

The president also touted his “biggest tax cut ever,” referring to tax law he signed in 2017, and said that another one was coming if he wins reelection.

Trump’s flurry of tweets comes as he has been largely confined to Walter Reed since Friday. He and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for the coronavirus last week, upending his scheduled rallies and adding uncertainty to the fate of the next debate between him and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, The New York Times reported.

Trump greeted some of his supporters outside Walter Reed Sunday from the inside of a presidential vehicle, prompting criticism from some who argued that he risked the lives of his secret service agents in the car with him, NBC News reported.

Pope Francis: ‘Each Country also Belongs to the Foreigner’

ROME — Pope Francis has proposed “a different way of understanding relations and exchanges between countries” that minimizes the idea of citizenship in a particular nation and emphasizes the common humanity of all people.

In a new encyclical letter titled Fratelli Tutti (Brothers All), the pope asserts that the common destination of the earth’s goods “requires that this principle also be applied to nations, their territories and their resources.”

“Seen from the standpoint not only of the legitimacy of private property and the rights of its citizens, but also of the first principle of the common destination of goods,” the pontiff writes, “we can then say that each country also belongs to the foreigner, inasmuch as a territory’s goods must not be denied to a needy person coming from elsewhere.”

“If every human being possesses an inalienable dignity, if all people are my brothers and sisters, and if the world truly belongs to everyone,” he writes, “then it matters little whether my neighbour was born in my country or elsewhere.”

“My own country also shares responsibility for his or her development, although it can fulfil that responsibility in a variety of ways,” he adds. “It can offer a generous welcome to those in urgent need, or work to improve living conditions in their native lands by refusing to exploit those countries or to drain them of natural resources, backing corrupt systems that hinder the dignified development of their peoples.”

Justice among nations, the pontiff suggests, requires assistance to satisfy the “right to progress” of peoples outside one’s own country, and perhaps even the pardoning of international debt.

“Indeed, justice requires recognizing and respecting not only the rights of individuals, but also social rights and the rights of peoples,” Francis writes. “This means finding a way to ensure the fundamental right of peoples to subsistence and progress, a right which is at times severely restricted by the pressure created by foreign debt.”

“In many instances, debt repayment not only fails to promote development but gravely limits and conditions it,” he states. “While respecting the principle that all legitimately acquired debt must be repaid, the way in which many poor countries fulfil this obligation should not end up compromising their very existence and growth.”

“Certainly, all this calls for an alternative way of thinking,” the pope acknowledges. “Without an attempt to enter into that way of thinking, what I am saying here will sound wildly unrealistic.”

“On the other hand, if we accept the great principle that there are rights born of our inalienable human dignity, we can rise to the challenge of envisaging a new humanity,” he proposes. “We can aspire to a world that provides land, housing and work for all.”

UK Government Importing Asylum Seekers Directly from Greece Under ‘Family Reunification’

The British government has revealed it is flying in asylum seekers directly from Greece, while record numbers of illegal immigrants continue to arrive on UK shores in boats.

On Friday, the government announced that 28 more people had been imported to Britain, as “the latest in a series of flights which has brought asylum seekers to the UK from Greece to reunite with family”.

The migrants hail from Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, and Bangladesh, and “will now be allowed to have their asylum claim assessed alongside their family members”, a government news briefing said.

“Throughout the pandemic, the UK has remained open and fully committed to family reunification,” the so-called Conservative government proclaimed, boasting that “through resettlement schemes, the UK resettles more refugees than any other country in Europe and are in the top five countries worldwide”.

At the general election last year, the Tories were voted back into power with the promise to reduce immigration, while polls have consistently shown that a majority of the British public would like to see a large reduction in the number of migrants.

UN Insists Record Boat Migrant Numbers ‘Not a Threat’ to Britain https://t.co/i7G63RHfAm

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) October 1, 2020

The announcement came as it was revealed that the total number of illegal immigrants officially recorded as having made it to British shores by boat this year had passed 7,000 — more than triple the figure recorded in 2019.

Some 9,500 asylum seekers who have arrived in Britain are reportedly being accommodated at taxpayers’ expense in 91 hotels around the country. Between 20 and 50 hotels — including four-star establishments — are reported to be benefiting from a £4 billion ten-year contract with the government to house migrants.

Others are living at disused military facilities such as Napier Barracks, where illegal immigrants are provided with taxpayer-funded mobile phones, as well as having access to “TVs, WiFi and sports equipment”, according to BBC reporter Simon Jones.

Home Secretary Priti Patel commented: “I am delighted that we can bring families, who have suffered the trauma of being separated, back together. These individuals, most of whom are children, are now able to be in the UK alongside their loved ones.

“Such arrivals show that our commitment to those in need of protection has not wavered, even in the midst of a global pandemic.

“Legal and viable routes to the UK demonstrate that it is not necessary for people to try and reach the UK via dangerous journeys, such as across the Channel.”

News that Britain is importing migrants directly from Greece came days after the United Nations (UN) told MPs that illegal immigration was “not a threat” to Britain. The organisation demanded the country do more to open “safe and legal pathways” for migration from the third world, such as through the expansion of family reunification.

Far from presenting a danger to the UK, illegal immigrants from the world’s poorest countries could, in fact, be a boon for British taxpayers, according to the international body, which alleged that the only “risks” of the situation were those posed to migrants’ lives at sea, and critical media reporting of the phenomenon.

565 Pounds of Meth, Fentanyl Found in SUV at California Border Crossing

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers working the Calexico, California, port of entry seized more than $2 million worth of methamphetamine and fentanyl. The interdiction occurred on Thursday after the officers searched an SUV crossing from Mexico.

CBP officers at the Calexico Port of Entry observed a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander approaching from Mexico for entry into the United States, according to information obtained from CBP officials. Officers referred the driver to a secondary inspection area after discovering anomalies in the SUV.

An X-ray imaging system detected multiple anomalies throughout the vehicle’s doors, dashboard, and quarter panels, officials stated. A CBP K-9 confirmed the officers’ suspicions by alerting to an odor it is trained to detect. The K-9 alerted to the doors and rear bumper of the Outlander.

The officers conducted a physical search of the vehicle and found 20 packages believed to be filled with the dangerous drug, fentanyl. A further search led to the discovery of 121 packages filled with methamphetamine, according to the report. In total, the officers found 48 pounds of fentanyl and 517 pounds of methamphetamine.

The smugglers hid the 565 pounds of drugs throughout the vehicle including floor compartments, the gas tank, seats, and spare tire, officials stated.

CBP officials estimated the value of the contraband to be more than $2 million.

The officers arrested the 55-year-old driver. Officials did not disclose the nationality or citizenship of the driver.

After placing the suspected drug smuggler under arrest, officers seized the drugs and the Mitsubishi Outlander. They turned the case over to ICE Homeland Security Investigations for further investigation and preparation of charges related to drug smuggling.

Judicial Watch Lawsuit Forces Pennsylvania Counties to Confess They Submitted Inaccurate Data to Government on Eligible Voters

Several counties in the battleground state of Pennsylvania were forced to admit they submitted erroneous information to the government regarding the state’s eligible voters.

Earlier this year, conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against three counties in Pennsylvania in an effort to clean up their dirty voting rolls after they discovered the number of registered voters was unusually high.

Dirty voter rolls increase the likelihood of fraud.

Judicial Watch discovered Bucks County, Chester County and Delaware County had an unusually low number of voters removed under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

Sure enough, these three counties admitted they submitted inaccurate data to the government regarding eligible voters, thanks to Judicial Watch.

Via Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch announced today that the State of Pennsylvania and three Pennsylvania counties admitted they reported incorrect information to a federal agency concerning the removal of ineligible voters from their voter rolls.

Federal regulations require Pennsylvania to certify to the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC) the number of voter registrations removed from the rolls under the NVRA because the voter has moved out of state. According to data the State certified to the EAC in the most recent two-year reporting period:

Bucks County, with about 457,000 registrations, removed a total of eight names under the relevant NVRA procedures;

Chester County, with about 357,000 registrations, removed five names under those procedures; and

Delaware County, with about 403,000 registrations, removed four names under those procedures.

In recent court filings, Pennsylvania admitted it had certified incorrect data to the EAC. The State alleged unverified, revised figures for Bucks, Chester, and Delaware counties. Those three counties also alleged their own unverified, revised figures, which differed, however, from those provided by the State. The new numbers alleged by the State and its counties are still a small fraction of the voter names likely inactive, according to Judicial Watch’s analysis provided to the court. Judicial Watch contends that, “even if these numbers are accurate, which we do not concede, they would still be removing too few old registrations.”

In its revised filings, the State also conceded that eighteen other Pennsylvania counties—which together contain about one quarter of Pennsylvania’s registered voters—had removed a combined total of fifteen names under the relevant NVRA procedures in the most recent two-year reporting period.

“Pennsylvania’s voting rolls are such a mess that even Pennsylvania can’t tell a court the details of how dirty or clean they are. The simple solution is to follow federal law and take the necessary and simple steps to clean up their voter rolls,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Putin Video Released Day of Debate Was Actually Deepfake Video from Anti-Trump Group

An anti-Trump group is under attack after releasing a so-called “deepfake” video featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un telling viewers to “save the election.”

The video, which was supposed to air in the nation’s capital, shows the two leaders discussing how important voting and democracy are — ironic, given neither of the two presides over a democracy.

“America, you blame me for interfering with your democracy, but I don’t have to,” the deepfake Putin is shown saying.

“You’re doing it to yourselves. Polling stations are closing. You don’t know who to trust. You are divided.”

“Deepfakes” are computer-created videos that are meant to mimic actual clips.

While the video was supposed to air in the Washington area, networks decided against airing the ad, created by “nonpartisan” (ho ho) group RepresentUs at the last minute.

“We are a fiercely non-partisan movement with one mission: Protect democracy. President Trump’s public statements have made it clear he’s laying the groundwork for an electoral coup. This is beyond partisanship,” RepresentUs’ website states.

That’s not “non-partisan.” That’s rabidly anti-Trump.

“Misinformation about vote by mail is eroding trust in our democracy. It’s up to us to make sure our friends and family know the facts about voting absentee by mail. Download our Social Media Toolkit to fight misinformation to get started.”

Putin Video Released Day of Debate Was Actually Deepfake Video from Anti-Trump Group

October 05, 2020 News

An anti-Trump group is under attack after releasing a so-called “deepfake” video featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un telling viewers to “save the election.”

The video, which was supposed to air in the nation’s capital, shows the two leaders discussing how important voting and democracy are — ironic, given neither of the two presides over a democracy.

“America, you blame me for interfering with your democracy, but I don’t have to,” the deepfake Putin is shown saying.

“You’re doing it to yourselves. Polling stations are closing. You don’t know who to trust. You are divided.”

“Deepfakes” are computer-created videos that are meant to mimic actual clips.

While the video was supposed to air in the Washington area, networks decided against airing the ad, created by “nonpartisan” (ho ho) group RepresentUs at the last minute.

“We are a fiercely non-partisan movement with one mission: Protect democracy. President Trump’s public statements have made it clear he’s laying the groundwork for an electoral coup. This is beyond partisanship,” RepresentUs’ website states.

That’s not “non-partisan.” That’s rabidly anti-Trump.

“Misinformation about vote by mail is eroding trust in our democracy. It’s up to us to make sure our friends and family know the facts about voting absentee by mail. Download our Social Media Toolkit to fight misinformation to get started.”

According to FastCompany, “[s]everal TV networks apparently decided that even labeled deepfakes weren’t a good idea.

It’s not perfect, but a casual observer could easily be fooled.

And here’s the Putin video, posted to YouTube on the day of the debate between President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden.

Social Justice 101: The Far Left's Trans Agenda Has a Bloody History of Suicide and Child Abuse

Raising boys as girls and girls as boys has become quite the popular trend among left-wing parents.

Some of these parents are even sending their children to get hormone replacement therapy before they have finished their sexual development.

This practice comes from a set of ideas known as “gender theory” — a philosophy with a long history of child abuse, mental illness and suicide.

What Is Gender Theory?

The proponents of “gender theory” believe that gender is socially constructed; unseen forces within our society have conditioned men to adopt masculine traits and women to adopt feminine ones.

If our society were truly free, then the labels of “male” and “female” would not be assigned at birth. According to gender theory, children and adults would choose which gender they are of their own free will.

While “sex” continues to refer to the biological reality of whether one is male or female, “gender” has been redefined as a person’s chosen masculine or feminine identity.

If a biological man chooses to identify as a woman, his “gender” is female and vice versa.

The activists behind gender theory allow young children with no conception of sex to choose their gender despite the fact that they are too young to understand the long-term ramifications such decisions may have.

Many of these children are then raised as if they are the opposite sex.

Not only does this set of ideas fly in the face of what science tells us about sex differences; it has also led to the suffering — and even deaths — of countless young boys and girls.

Gender Theory’s First Test

The case of David Reimer, one of the first individuals who was transitioned to a different gender as a child, is used by many gender theorists as proof that men can be women and women can be men.

David’s story is a tragic one. As an infant, his penis was irreparably damaged during a horrible accident.

His parents were devastated and didn’t know how to raise their child with such a debilitating injury.

Then came along psychologist John Money, the man many now consider to be the father of gender theory.

Money saw Reimer’s tragic circumstances as the perfect set of conditions for testing the theory that gender is socially constructed.

He then convinced the parents to raise David as a girl.

COVID Whistleblower's Mother Reportedly Arrested In China

The mother of Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese MD/PhD virologist who fled China and published evidence that COVID-19 was created in a lab, says that the Chinese Communist Party has arrested her mother.

"According to Mr. Miles Guo, the CCP arrested Dr. Limeng Yan’s mother in mainland China, allegedly as a retribution on Dr. Yan, the Hong Kong virologist, Chinese Whistleblower and CCP COVID-cover-up debunker," reports gnews.org - which has been described as "Guo's media outlet."

Guo made the comments during an appearance alongside former Trump strategist Steve Bannon on an episode of "War Room Pandemic."

Last month, Yan appeared on Fox News, where she told host Tucker Carlson that COVID-19 is a "Frankenstein" virus designed to target humans, and that it was intentionally released.

"It could never come from nature," she Yan - who worked with coronavirus at the University of Hong Kong

"There is evidence left in the genome" - which Yan detailed in a 26-page scientific paper co-written with three other Chinese scientists. "They don't want people to know this truth. Also, that's why I get suspended [from Twitter], I get suppression. I am the target that the Chinese Communist Party wants disappeared."

When Carlson asked her why she believes the virus made it's way out of the Wuhan lab, Dr. Yan said "I worked in the WHO reference lab, which is the top coronavirus lab in the world at the university of Hong Kong. And the things I got deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak - I had my intelligence through my network in China, involved in the hospitals, institutes and also government."

"Together with my experience, I can tell you - this is created in a lab."

Dr. Yan fled Hong Kong on April 28 on a Cathay Pacific flight to the United States. She believes her life is in danger, and that she can never go back home.

Iraq PM: 2,500 US Troops Have Withdrawn From Iraq

Pompeo warns all troops may withdraw over recent attacks

Iraqi PM Mustafa Kadhimi has confirmed over the weekend that at least 2,500 US troops have already withdrawn from Iraq as part of what will ultimately be a three year period of pullout from the country.

This came following the recent announcement of US troop cuts during Kadhimi’s US visit, and the more recent threats to close the embassy and withdraw outright after troops came under rocket attack from militias.

Some Iraqi officials have objected to the US threats, and particularly to the way they were made, cautioning that US threats were liable, in such a public way, to have a spillover effect on other nations working with Iraq.

Still, fear that the US might start a war with the militias probably is not such an immediate threat if the US is continuing to pull troops out. Many Iraqis have wanted the US out of Iraq for awhile now, and if the 3-year plan is in place, Kadhimi really just needs to try to keep things together while that works itself out.

Underscoring that, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s most recent threats were to pull troops out if Iraq can’t protect them, which is giving the militias exactly what they want, and what Iraq has already negotiated, just on a faster time-frame.

The US assumption seems to be that the loss of US troops is something to fear, and therefore something to threaten. That doesn’t make a lot of sense in Iraq, which already asked the US troops to leave and where Kadhimi confirmed securing a 3-year commitment after the US initially tried to sell him on an eight year process.

Thousands Of Mathematicians Call For Boycotting Predictive Crime A.I. From Police

After a flurry of police brutality cases this year and protests swarming the U.S. streets, thousands of mathematicians have joined scientists and engineers in calling for boycotting artificial intelligence from being used by law enforcement.

Over 2,000 mathematicians have signed a letter calling to boycott all collaboration with police and telling their colleagues to do the same in a future publication of the American Mathematical Society, Shadowproof reported.

The call to action for the mathematicians was the police killings of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, and many more just this year.

“At some point, we all reach a breaking point, where what is right in front of our eyes becomes more obvious,” says Jayadev Athreya, a participant in the boycott and Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Washington. “Fundamentally, it’s a matter of justice.”

The mathematicians wrote an open letter, collecting thousands of signatures for a widespread boycott of police using algorithms for policing. Every mathematician within the group’s network pledges to refuse any and all collaboration with law enforcement.

The group is organizing a wide base of mathematicians in the hopes of cutting off police from using such technologies. The letter’s authors cite “deep concerns over the use of machine learning, AI, and facial recognition technologies to justify and perpetuate oppression.”

Predictive policing is one key area where some mathematicians and scientists have enabled the racist algorithms, which tell cops to treat specific areas as “hotspots” for potential crime. Activists and organizations have long criticized the bias in these practices. Algorithms trained on data produced by racist policing will reproduce that prejudice to “predict” where crime will be committed and who is potentially a criminal.

“The data does not speak for itself, it’s not neutral,” explains Brendan McQuade, author of Pacifying the Homeland: Intelligence Fusion and Mass Supervision. Police data is “dirty data,” because it does not represent crime, but policing and arrests.

“So what are its predictions going to find? That police should deploy their resources in the same place police have traditionally deployed their resources.”

Several, if not all, U.S. states and major cities are thought to use some type of predictive policing or pre-crime software with known users including — Chicago, Atlanta, Tacoma, New York, and LA, though not without protesting its use. As Activist Post previously reported, many of these states are using Palantir software for their predictive crime algorithms and have been exposed for doing so, like Florida, whose police terrorized and monitored residents of Pasco County.

These police organizations across the U.S. have been using what is known as “heat lists” or pre-crime databases for years. What is a “heat list,” you may ask?

Japan-Based Marine Arrested in Hiroshima After Alleged Break-In

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan – Japanese police arrested a Marine lance corporal on suspicion of breaking into a home in Hiroshima city on Saturday night, according to the Marines and Hiroshima prefectural police.

Lance Cpl. Steven Frank Altamirano, 22, stationed at MCAS Iwakuni, was taken into custody around 9:30 p.m. Saturday in the Koinaka area of the city's Nishi ward, a police spokesman said Monday.

Altamirano is accused of breaking a window and entering the home of a 78-year-old Japanese man, who called police around 9:20 p.m., the spokesman said. The two did not know each other.

The spokesman said Altamirano was intoxicated at the time and told officers he doesn't remember what happened.

It's customary in Japan for some government officials to speak to the media on condition of anonymity.

An MCAS Iwakuni spokesman, Maj. Joshua Diddams, confirmed the arrest.

"Our command is already fully cooperating with Japanese authorities as they investigate this incident, and we treat all allegations of misconduct seriously," he told Stars and Stripes in an email Monday. "No further information is available at this time due to the ongoing police investigation."

Erdogan warns of new operation in Syria if Kurd militants not removed

The President of Turkey has said that military operations along the Syrian border will continue if promises to clear terror groups are not fulfilled. If they are not cleared out, warned Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey will be forced to remove them.

Erdogan made his remarks on Saturday in a video address marking the inauguration of the new Reyhanlı Dam, along with other projects and facilities in Turkey’s southern Hatay province.

“While thwarting attempts to establish a terror corridor along our borders,” he explained, “Turkey also showed our Syrian brothers and sisters that they are not alone.”

The Turkish President made reference to his country’s three military interventions in Syria over the past few years, including Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016, Operation Olive Branch in 2018 and Operation Peace Spring in 2019.

Those interventions were all conducted with the aim of clearing the Turkish-Syrian border region of Kurdish militant groups such as the Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG) and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Turkey insists are linked to the designated terrorist group the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Following Turkey’s last military operation, which aimed to establish a safe zone 30 kilometres deep inside north-east Syria where the terrorists would be driven out and displaced Syrian refugees could be settled, it struck a deal with Russia for the YPG and SDF militants to be moved out of some of the areas. In exchange, Turkey agreed to end its operation and conduct joint military patrols in the area with Russia.

Almost a year after that deal was struck, however, the Kurdish militant groups have still reportedly not been fully removed from the agreed areas, and the status of the planned safe zone is as yet unclarified.

In his video address, Erdogan also said that Turkey will not accept any action which leads to a further humanitarian crisis in the north-west Syrian province of Idlib, which remains the last major stronghold of the Syrian opposition. The area has been subject to a bombing campaign by the Assad regime and Russia since last year.

Meadows: Decision expected later Monday on Trump return to White House

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Monday said President Trump is ready to return to a "normal work schedule" as he deals with COVID-19 and that a decision is expected later in the day on whether the president can return to the White House from a nearby hospital.

"That determination has not been made yet. Obviously, he continued to improve overnight and his health continues to improve," Meadows said during a call to "Fox & Friends" from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

"The doctors will actually have an evaluation sometime late morning and then the president, in consultation with the doctors, will make a decision on whether to discharge him later today," Meadows added. "We’re still optimistic that based on his unbelievable progress and how strong he's been in terms of his fight against this COVID-19 disease that he will be released, but that decision will not be made until later today."

The comments echo those of the White House physician a day earlier, who told reporters on Sunday that Trump could return to the White House as early as Monday.

The president's oxygen level dropped on Friday and Saturday, however, and he was given dexamethasone, a steroid typically used to treat severe cases of COVID-19, calling into question how serious Trump's health problems are. Experts have noted that symptoms can flare up days after a person has contracted the virus and questioned the possibility Trump could leave the hospital in Bethesda, Md., so quickly.

"Obviously, this is an important day," Meadows said on Monday. "The president continues to improve and is ready to get back to a normal work schedule."

Trump was taken to Walter Reed on Friday evening, roughly 18 hours after he first disclosed to the public that he and the first lady had tested positive for the coronavirus. The president was given supplemental oxygen at the White House on Friday.

The White House has given conflicting messages about Trump's state, eroding its credibility as the president deals with the virus. White House physician Sean Conley said Saturday the president was doing very well, but Meadows quickly contradicted him by acknowledging that Trump's vitals were concerning on Friday and that he was not yet out of the woods.

National security adviser Robert O'Brien, who had COVID-19 over the summer, said on Sunday that he expected Trump to work from Walter Reed for "at least another period of time."

But the president has attempted to project that he is recovering quickly. He posted videos from Walter Reed each of the last two days and on Sunday left his hospital suite to wave to supporters from inside his motorcade.

That decision drew outrage among medical experts and some Democrats, who questioned why Trump would break quarantine and potentially infect Secret Service agents for a photo op.

Meadows defended the decision on Monday, saying proper precautions were taken and that the Secret Service agents in the vehicle with Trump have been around the president throughout the weekend.

WHO: 10% of world population may have been infected with virus

Estimate is over 20 times higher than official tally of coronavirus cases; official warns ‘vast majority of the world remains at risk’

GENEVA (AP) — The head of emergencies at the World Health Organization said Monday its “best estimates” indicate that roughly 1 in 10 people worldwide may have been infected by the coronavirus — more than 20 times the number of confirmed cases — and warned of a difficult period ahead.

Dr. Michael Ryan, speaking to a special session of the WHO’s 34-member executive board focusing on COVID-19, said the figures vary from urban to rural, and between different groups, but that ultimately it means “the vast majority of the world remains at risk.” He said the pandemic would continue to evolve, but that tools exist to suppress transmission and save lives.

“Many deaths have been averted and many more lives can be protected,” Ryan said. He was flanked by his boss, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who minutes earlier led a moment of silence to honor victims as well as a round of applause for the health workers who have strived to save them.

Ryan said Southeast Asia faced a surge in cases, Europe and the eastern Mediterranean were seeing an increase in deaths, while the situations in Africa and the Western Pacific were “rather more positive.”

“Our current best estimates tell us that about 10 percent of the global population may have been infected by this virus,” Ryan told attendees from member governments who make up the executive board and provide much of its funding.

The estimate — which would amount to more than 760 million people based on a current world population of about 7.6 billion — far outstrips the number of confirmed cases as tallied by both WHO and Johns Hopkins University, now more than 35 million worldwide.

Experts have long said that the number of confirmed cases greatly underestimates the true figure.

The comments came during a special session of the executive board to consider the follow-up to its previous meeting, in May, which passed a resolution to look into the world’s — and WHO’s — response to the pandemic. Ryan warned that the world was “now heading into a difficult period. The disease continues to spread. It is on the rise in many parts of the world.”
