Greta Thunberg Bursts Into US Presidential Race by Endorsing Joe Biden

While some netizens seemed to welcome Greta's message, others appeared less receptive to her rhetoric.

With the presidential election in the United States looming on the horizon, teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has stepped forward to urge voters to support one of the candidates – Joe Biden.

In a recent tweet of hers, Greta argued that while she never engages in “party politics”, the upcoming US elections "is above and beyond all that".

"From a climate perspective it’s very far from enough and many of you of course supported other candidates. But, I mean…you know…damn!" she tweeted. "Just get organized and get everyone to vote #Biden".

I never engage in party politics. But the upcoming US elections is above and beyond all that.

From a climate perspective it’s very far from enough and many of you of course supported other candidates. But, I mean…you know…damn!

Just get organized and get everyone to vote #Biden https://t.co/gFttFBZK5O

​Greta's message elicited a somewhat mixed reaction online, as while some netizens welcomed her sentiment, there were also those who didn't seem particularly impressed by it.

YES, YES and for hell - YES !

Thank you Great @GretaThunberg !!!#ClimateCrisis @algore @realDonaldTrump

Several users also pointed at Biden's stance on fracking.

Biden supports fracking…

So , why vote for him?

— Christopher Cartwright (@chriscartw83) October 10, 2020

Biden will not ban fracking and doesn’t support the GND. He’s not worthy of your support

And a number of people called her out over the "party politics" bit of her tweet.

"I never engage in party politics". Are You Sure? pic.twitter.com/dzbZ0TPlsX

When engaging in party politics, don't start by saying "I never engage in party politics".

There is a word for that.

Oh, yes. A lie.

Deceased high-ranking bishop accused of abetting sex abuse in Germany

The accusations shine a light on the 'St. Gallen Group,' a cabal of bishops who have long striven to liberalize the Church.

Cardinal Karl Lehmann, one of the members of the so-called “Sankt Gallen Group,” has now been accused by experts of having covered up for abuse cases in his diocese of Mainz, Germany. Together with his predecessor Hermann Volk, Lehmann, who died in 2018, is accused of moving priests who were accused of sexual abuse into other parishes. “Clear indications in the parishes were ignored and played down,” according to Ulrich Weber, the head of the new Mainz abuse study.

On Wednesday, October 7, Weber, together with the current bishop of Mainz, Peter Kohlgraf, presented the interim results of his study that the diocese had started in 2019. Weber is a lawyer who had previously investigated the choir of the Regensburg singers. This Mainz study is to be published in 2020 and covers all abuse cases since 1945 up to 2019. So far, there have been found 422 victims and 273 accused persons in the diocese, but further research and confirmation of the accusations need to be done.

It is clear that under both Volk and Lehmann, “the diocesan leadership often did not have an adequate response to relevant reports,” Weber explained during a press conference, according to the Catholic website Domradio. Even severe accusations of abuse merely led to small sanctions on the part of the diocese. In addition, if one of the accused priests was sent to another diocese, no information was passed on concerning his deeds. Victims, abusers, and those who informed the diocese about sexual abuse were also instructed to remain silent. Weber added that the personnel files were kept in such a way that they contributed to the obfuscation of the abuse cases.

Karl Lehmann was the bishop of Mainz from 1983 until 2016; his predecessor, Hermann Volk, had ruled the diocese from 1962 until 1982. Volk, like Lehmann, was a progressivist theologian and had participated at the Second Vatican Council, promoting the idea of ecumenism and friendship with Protestants. Lehmann served as an assistant to Father Karl Rahner at the Second Vatican Council. These two men were responsible for this mishandling of abuse cases for more than fifty years.

According to the report of the local newspaper Allgemeine Zeitung, Weber insisted that both Lehmann and Volk are to be accused of “misconduct with regard to cases of sexual violence.” In one case, one paid the legal costs for an abuser, Weber explained, and in another, one downplayed the gravity of the actual sexual abuse. “Often, the response to abuse cases was to place the abuser priest into another parish.” This took place even when the “pedophile inclinations were already the object of conversations in the city,” he added.

South America: The Escazu Agreement Requires a Change in Regional Politics

Taking into consideration the UN Sustainable Development Goals in terms of environmental matters, the Escazu Agreement, an initiative of Latin American and Caribbean countries, seeks to regulate regional standards in terms of environmental protection. Equally important is the treaty’s aim to protect environmental activists and defenders, as well as guaranteeing the inclusion of marginalised people, or communities.

The initiative was led by Chile and Costa Rica, laying the foundations for a human rights treaty at a regional level. In September 2018 under President Sebastian Pinera, Chile withdrew from the agreement, just three months after a Global Witness report noted that Latin America held the highest percentage of murdered environmental activists – a staggering 60 per cent.

Argentina recently voted to ratify the Escazu Agreement, joining Antigua and Barbuda, Ecuador, Bolivia, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Nicaragua, Guyana and Uruguay. The treaty needs one more country to become signatory, in order to be enforced in the region. While the window of opportunity for signing regionally has closed, countries can still ratify the agreement through the UN.

Chile, which helped to draft the treaty under former president Michelle Bachelet, has once again refused to sign the agreement, with Pinera calling it “inconvenient” due to the possibility of the country facing international legal action for environmental crimes and conflicts. Several environmental activists have been found dead in Chile following Pinera’s withdrawal from the agreement, raising suspicion that the individuals were targeted by state and multinational interests.

Argentina’s ratification is important for the region. The Italian fashion brand, Benetton, owns 2.2 million acres of land which is considered ancestral territory by the indigenous Mapuche people. The purchase took place in 1991, when the Argentinian government’s adoption of neoliberalism prompted privatisation of land. Since the late 19th century, Mapuche territory had been targeted and the people expelled, thus initiating the imbalance of power between the state and the indigenous population.

Despite Argentinian law recognising the Mapuche people’s ancestral rights to land, the state and corporate interests hold sway over such rights. As happens elsewhere in Latin America, the complicity between states and multinational companies has resulted in militarisation and securitisation of indigenous land, the criminalisation of indigenous resistance, as well as the targeting of environmental and indigenous activists; Argentina having been heavily scrutinised for the killing and disappearance of Santiago Maldonado. Maldonado had been involved in protests against Benetton in which the Mapuche were demanding their ancestral rights to occupied land.

Azerbaijan, Armenia Claimed Ceasefire Violations Few Minutes After Its Declaration

A few minutes into the humanitarian ceasefire in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan and Armenian began accusing each other of violations.

The ceasefire was announced on October 10 morning from the Russian capital, Moscow, where Azerbaijani-Armenian talks are taking place. The ceasefire began at 12:00 PM local time.

Shushan Stepanyan, Press Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, said Azerbaijan violated the ceasefire at 12:05. Azerbaijani forces allegedly launched a ground attack at an area known as Karakhambeyli. The city of Hadrut was also shelled.

“Units of the Artsakh Defense Army take appropriate measures to halt the enemy attack,” the Press Secretary said.

From its side, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan said Armenian forces had attacked and shelled the Aghdara-Tartar and Fizuli-Jabrail frontlines after 12:00.

Stepanyan denied the Azerbaijani claims, saying that Armenian forces didn’t not shell any areas controlled by the other side.

The humanitarian ceasefire is without a doubt a positive first step to end the battle in Nagorno-Karabakh. However, the situation appears to be fragile. Azerbaijani forces may launch new ground attacks in the region within a few days, if not hours.

DESPERATION

Wife Of Deceased Never-Trump Senator Who Passed Fake Russian Dossier To FBI, Endorses Joe Biden

It’s no secret that Senator John McCain hated our president and did everything he could to harm him. It’s hard to forget the fact that the most outrageous thing McCain did was to pass the fake Russian dossier on President Trump to the FBI.

He claimed that it was “what any citizen should do”. Yes, McCain cast himself as an innocent and concerned citizen who was just doing what he should.

The one thing that McCain didn’t know is that the FBI already had a copy of the dossier that the Deep State and Democrats used in their coup attempt against President Trump.

100 Percent Fed Up – Now, the wife of the deceased Senator is seeking retribution against President Trump for exposing her husband, who failed miserably as a presidential candidate, by endorsing Democrat Joe Biden for President. Today, a 60-second ad was released by the Biden campaign showing the wife of the sour grapes John McCain using talking points from a discredited The Atlantic article that accused President Trump of making derogatory remarks about military veterans.

In a 60-second spot created for the Biden campaign, Cindy McCain praised her late husband’s friendship with the cognitively challenged Joe Biden, saying it was “a friendship that you don’t see too often.”

“They always put their friendship and their country first,” McCain said of her war-mongering husband who frequently put himself first.

In April, John McCain’s never Trump daughter, Megan McCain, who is also a host on the radical leftist show “The View,” joined her co-hosts to defend Joe Biden and the accusation that he sexually assaulted Senate aid, Tara Reade and his record of groping women.

Host Whoopi Goldberg told her fellow co-hosts, “Joe is a hands-on kind of guy,” adding that the woman accusing him of sexual assault and sexual advances should have said something before. It should be noted that Whoopi and her co-hosts were giddy about Christine Ford’s 40-year-old sexual-assault allegation against Supreme Court Justice candidate Bret Kavanaugh.

“But it would have been nice if she turned to him and say, ‘You know what, I don’t really like this. Please don’t do this, Mr. Vice President. I’m not comfortable with this’…something because he’s standing right there,” she said.

He “loves people,” McCain said about Biden, ignoring the sexual assault and sexual advances accusations against him.

https://youtu.be/3Rq1YNWReaU

The McCain family’s defense of Joe Biden is nothing more than sour grapes over President Trump’s popularity. It doesn’t help that John McCain’s VP candidate Sarah Palin overshadowed him on the campaign trail or that he lost miserably to the former community organizer Barack Obama.

I only endorse the most high!

Boris Johnson’s ‘Green New Deal’ Plan Will Double Your Energy Bill

During this US Election season we’re hearing a lot of toggling back and forth over the a policy being touted by Democrats as a “Green New Deal” – a radical plan to empty trillions of dollars from pension funds to spend on ‘investing in green technology.’ We’re told it will stop climate change, and somehow save humanity from mass-extinction. But is it really that simple? And who will pay for it?

Behind bold promises of being able to deliver ‘sustainable’ and ‘green’ energy for all, there exists a darker reality: an array of ­powerful financial, political and ideological motivations – none of which have been able to reliably deliver on their great ‘green’ promises. Instead, we are seeing the emergence of a new technocracy grid forming, designed for the expressed purpose of achieving new levels of economic and social control over populations. This process is being egged-on by the UN, where radical activist groups motivated by anti-humanist beliefs have since forced the World Bank to stop trying to end poverty and instead make poverty “sustainable.” The elites have seized on this opportunity, using radical leftist ideology to destroy the remaining aspects of the old economic order, and prepare the way for a new hi-tech Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

The UK’s Tory government are now pushing ahead with their own version of the Green New Deal. Boris Johnson is now claiming that wind farms can power every home in Britain in ten years, with visions of grandeur of making the UK ‘the Saudi Arabia of green energy.’

What ministers aren’t telling the public is that their lofty goal of achieving ‘100 per cent renewables’ would actually require increasing the current land used of 0.5% up towards 20%. Moreover, Boris Johnson is attempting to transition towards a lower power density, when in fact the country will require a higher power density going forward in order to provide the base-load needed in order to power its cities.

This is only the beginning of their problems. While their plan claims to be a ‘green jobs creator’ – in reality it will almost certainly bankrupt the country.

Author Andrew Montford from The Spectator explains why Boris’s wind power pledge won’t be cheap…

Boris Johnson likes a big announcement. Back in his days as London mayor, he told us he was going to build a new airport on an island in the Thames estuary and a tree-lined ‘garden bridge’ further upstream. Although not as hare-brained as his more recent plan to build a bridge to Ireland, neither of these schemes ever came to anything.

Much of the government’s announcement today of a major green spending spree gives the impression of having been conjured up with the same lack of any serious intent, ‘smart cities’ being an obvious example. However, some of it looks positively alarming.

Take home insulation, for example. It sounds so simple and so easy, but as study after study has shown, the cost of retrofitting the existing housing stock is wildly expensive – the cost would run to trillions – and it might even be cheaper to knock down the whole of the UK’s housing stock and start again.

Will America Survive the Democrats’ Arrows in Their Quiver?

Events are hurtling towards the election with strange and disturbing developments every day. Writers are openly discussing the possibility of a violent coup and civil war. 2020 feels like an unprecedented year, and in this context, a recent threat by Nancy Pelosi sounds particularly ominous. Asked about the possibility of President Trump placing Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court, Pelosi replied, “We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now.” What might those arrows be? How much damage will they do? Let’s examine some recent events, in light of her remark.

President Trump is hospitalized with COVID-19. Shortly after Pelosi’s remark, President Trump and the First Lady tested positive for the virus, and he spent three nights at Walter Reed Hospital. The president’s illness was dangerous and could have removed him from the rest of the campaign or killed him. How did the president get this illness? Could he have been deliberately exposed?

Leading Republicans also test positive for COVID, including two Senators on the Judiciary Committee which votes on Barrett’s confirmation. Why have almost no Democrats gotten COVID? Why have the Republicans suffered three potentially mass fatality events since Trump’s inauguration? (See my previous article here.)

President Trump quickly recovers with help of a new drug, Regeneron, which he plans to deliver free to all Americans who need it. Democrats react with fury. Why did Trump’s unexpectedly fast recovery enrage the Democrats? Why did they claim that his medications rendered him mentally unfit? Why did a Washington Post columnist call on Congress to defund Walter Reed Hospital after it cured the president?

Seven members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, plus two senior military leaders, go into quarantine after contact with an officer who tested positive. Why have there been no media discussions about this extraordinary move? How does the military work from home? Does the Joint Chiefs’ quarantine relate to Al Gore’s comment in August that the military will remove President Trump, if he won’t concede on election night?

Vice-President Pence outperforms Kamala Harris in a debate, but media coverage focuses on a fly. How did Biden’s plodding campaign have a website, graphic and slogan prepared immediately after the debate to sell a flyswatter? Could the fly distraction have been planned, and could it pose a danger to Pence?

Israel to ‘immediately’ bring over 2,000 Ethiopian Jews

Netanyahu tells Ethiopian PM the Jewish state is committed to 'continued aliyah of Jews to Israel' that was halted due to coronavirus; Jews are often referred to in Ethiopia as 'Falashas,' a derogatory word which translates as 'strangers'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told his Ethiopian counterpart that his country has the intention to “immediately” bring over some 2,000 Ethiopian Jews.

The announcement came Friday after a phone call with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Netanyahu’s office said the decision comes “out of his commitment to the continued aliyah of Jews to Israel."

Some 13,000 Ethiopian Jews are in the capital, Addis Ababa, and in Gondar, most of them waiting to be taken to Israel, which they call home. Most live in dire conditions and have threatened to stage a hunger strike if they’re not allowed to travel to their “homeland.” Many say they have family members who have settled in Israel.

“Some 250 people have left for Israel within the past year until COVID-19 came. Now the travel has stopped, but Israeli officials are conducting interviews online,” Nigusie Alemu Eyasu, program director for the Ethiopian Jews Community, said.

"Six months ago, the prime minister and I, pledged to the Ethiopian community that we will continue the aliyah from Ethiopia," said Likud MK Gadi Yevarkan, who is of Ehiopian descent. "I thank you on behalf of the community for the continued aliyah."

Activists say Israel’s government in 2015 pledged to bring the remaining Ethiopian Jews to Israel. In 1991 while Ethiopia was in the midst of civil war, Israel carried out the dramatic Operation Solomon, airlifting out some 14,500 Ethiopian Jews in less than two days.

Ethiopian Jews are often referred to in Ethiopia as “Falashas,” a derogatory word which translates into “strangers” or “migrants.”

Kevin Rudd creates petition for News Corp royal commission

Former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd says he was motivated to launch a petition calling for a royal commission into Rupert Murdoch's media empire after coming to the conclusion that News Corp was running a "protection racket" for the Coalition.

Almost 6000 people had signed the petition less than 24 hours after Mr Rudd's announcement on Saturday morning, leading to some glitches on the Australian Parliament website when people tried to sign.

While other parliaments around the world have a "signature threshold" for petitions, Australia does not – meaning there will be no requirement that the Parliament or the federal government act on the petition.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese, who was a close political ally of Mr Rudd, did not comment on Saturday on whether he agreed with the former prime minister, with his office referring inquiries to Labor's communication spokeswoman Michelle Rowland. Senior Labor sources said the opposition was unlikely to back Mr Rudd's call for a royal commission.

News Corp Australia and the Morrison government also declined to comment.

Mr Rudd, who courted and won News Corp’s support in the 2007 federal election, labelled the company a "cancer on democracy" and said the move was prompted by his "passion for the country's future".

When my government produced one-fifth the size of Morrison's deficit and still kept Australia out of recession – Murdoch would abuse the news reporting to define us as bad economic managers.

Kevin Rudd

In an interview with The Sun-Herald and The Sunday Age, Mr Rudd said the sheer concentration of News Corp's ownership of newspapers – about 70 per cent of print readership across Australia – had left many in the Australian community unwilling to criticise the company.

While the company always had an editorial bent, Mr Rudd said News Corp had become much worse over the past decade and now acted as a "protection racket for the Liberal/National Party".

"It’s time for the political class to listen to what the people are saying … I think there is a groundswell in the community which is a bit like my own view: enough is enough," Mr Rudd said.

"In Queensland, a state which swings federal election results, virtually every single newspaper is owned by Murdoch.

"When this mob, this syndicate, this protection racket for the Liberal and National Party backs the Liberal and National Party 95 per cent of time, it becomes a cancer on the democracy."

Asked why he didn't publicly take on the company as Labor leader, Mr Rudd said his job was to maximise the positive media coverage.

"It's a decade, and a decade is an eternity in politics," he said.

"Prior to 2010, Murdoch campaigned against Labor most of the time but not all of the time.

"My job as Labor leader then was try to maximise our positive coverage. However, since 2010, it’s gone 100 per cent against Labor."

Covid-19 will push as many as 150 MILLION people into extreme poverty by 2021 – World Bank

Extreme global poverty is expected to rise in 2020 for the first time in over 20 years due to the disruption caused by the “extraordinary” coronavirus crisis, the World Bank has warned.

According to a new report, the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to push an additional 88 million to 115 million people into extreme poverty this year, with the total rising to as many as 150 million by 2021, depending on the severity of the economic contraction.

Extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $1.90 a day, is likely to affect between 9.1 percent and 9.4 percent of the world’s population this year, it said. That would represent a regression to the rate of 9.2 percent in 2017. Had the pandemic not convulsed the globe, the poverty rate was expected to drop to 7.9 percent in 2020.

No to ‘permanent fear campaigns’: Thousands of anti-lockdown protesters decry government restrictions in Berlin

Thousands of people marched through central Berlin protesting the lockdown measures taken by the German government due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which they say violate their “human rights.”

A loose column of demonstrators stretched along several major streets of the German capital as they slowly walked from Konrad Adenauer Square in the western part of the city to the Victory Column in the central Tiergarten Park and near the iconic Brandenburg Gate.

https://youtu.be/ulDE_SQMlzQ

Dubbed the ‘Silent March’ by its organizers, the demonstration was nevertheless held with the slogan ‘We have to speak out!’ displayed on a large banner that a group of protesters marching at the helm of the procession were carrying. Apart from that, there were hardly any signs, as the organizers urged them to leave all flags, banners, and even clothing with slogans printed on it at home.

“We are a colorful mix of… people from various ethnic and income level groups, who left all their political affiliations behind and who disagree with the politicization of the coronavirus [pandemic] resulting in restriction of our human rights,” the organizers said in a statement ahead of the march.

The protesters say the situation with the virus merits a broader public discussion and demand an end to the “permanent fear campaigns” they say the government has launched.

The organizers initially expected up to 20,000 to turn out for the march. According to the police, the actual number was significantly lower, amounting to “several thousands.” Still, 200 officers were deployed to maintain order.

The march went ahead peacefully, as there were no reports of incidents during the demonstration. However, on the sidelines of the protest, police arrested Attila Hildmann, a controversial “vegan influencer”. The reasons for his arrest are unclear.

Hildmann attended the march without a mask and chanted political slogans. German media said he compared the lockdown measures in Germany with the infamous Guantanamo prison when police asked him to put a mask on.

That’s Weird… Suspect in Whitmer Plot Was Pardoned by Democrat Governor of Delaware Last Year

On Thursday the FBI announced during a press conference that it thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government.

Early Thursday morning, federal agencies raided a house in Hartland, Michigan and arrested six men: Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta.

Whitmer immediately blamed the plot on President Trump telling the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”

“Hate groups heard the president’s words as a rallying cry, as a call to action,” Whitmer said blaming white supremacists.

It turns out Brandon Caserta, one of anarchists who was arrested for plotting to kidnap Whitmer, actually hates President Trump and is on video calling Trump a “tyrant.”

There is also evidence a second “rightwing” militia member attended at least one Black Lives Matter protest and was sympathetic to George Floyd and BLM protesters.

The Daily Beast reported — and hid this until the end of the article:

23-year-old Daniel Harris from Lake Orion, Michigan. A LinkedIn page corresponding to Harris in that small Detroit-area town lists his current occupation as “security guard,” but indicates he served as a rifleman in the U.S. Marine Corps until last year.

An individual of that name was quoted complaining about excessive use of force by police and alluding to his background at an anti-racist protest in Lake Orion in June.

“It is a shame what happened with George Floyd and instances where law enforcement officers murder an unarmed man/woman who isn’t resisting arrest, was complying with the orders is wrong and need to be stopped. You look at photos and videos of news teams and protesters being beaten by riot police when they are there peacefully, you see people losing their eyes because if an officer shoots them with a ‘non-lethal’ round like pepper balls, or rubber bullets,” Harris said. “I’ve gone through that sort of training and I can promise you weapons like that they can turn into a lethal round.”

"One Step Forward, Two Steps Back" - Pelosi Rejects Trump's Latest COVID Stimulus Offer

Having reportedly "capitulated" from $500 million, the GOP's latest $1.8 trillion COVID-Relief package offer has been flatly rejected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (whose latest offer was a $2.2 trillion package)… once again.

In a letter to her Democratic colleagues, Pelosi claims the White House offer falls short on COVID-19 testing, worker safety, and child care (all of which she bundles - obviously - under the need for state bailouts, our words, not hers).

Here is the full letter, providing her campaigning colleagues and the media with their talking points to un-blame the Democrats for delaying payments to suffering Americans for tomorrow's political shows… (emphasis ours)

Dear Democratic Colleague,

On Friday, the Trump Administration returned to the table with a proposal that attempted to address some of the concerns Democrats have in the coronavirus relief negotiations. This proposal amounted to one step forward, two steps back. When the President talks about wanting a bigger relief package, his proposal appears to mean that he wants more money at his discretion to grant or withhold, rather than agreeing on language prescribing how we honor our workers, crush the virus and put money in the pockets of workers.

At this point, we still have disagreement on many priorities, and Democrats are awaiting language from the Administration on several provisions as the negotiations on the overall funding amount continue.

A key concern is the absence of any response on a strategic plan to crush the virus. We cannot safely reopen schools, the economy and our communities until we crush the virus with the science-based, national plan for testing, tracing, treatment and isolation, and for the equitable and ethical distribution of a safe and effective vaccine once developed. This strategic plan is contained in the Heroes Act.

Please see the Energy and Commerce memo which is attached.

From start to finish, the Trump Administration refuses to honor our heroes and respect the safety our workforce. The funding for state and local remains sadly inadequate. At the same time, the Trump proposal recklessly leaves behind workers by ignoring the need for strong OSHA protections to keep our workers safe as they risk their lives and jobs to keep us safe and keep the economy running. We are urging the Administration to support our strong OSHA language, which requires OSHA to issue an enforceable emergency temporary standard within seven days that covers all workers from COVID-19 infections. Unfortunately, they have a Liability Provision that is reckless in how it ignores safety in the workplace.

At this point, the Trump proposal is insufficient in meeting families' needs, in stark contrast to the Heroes Act, which secured tens of billions for direct relief and refundable credits. At the end of September, in preparation for the restarting of our negotiations, I had previously written to you about what the Heroes Act mean for families at their kitchen tables. For a family of four earning $24,000:

Prof compares Mitch McConnell to a Nazi who 'picks off old Jewish ladies with his rifle'

University of Illinois English Professor Catherine Prendergast tweeted that Mitch McConnell was a Nazi and "picks off old Jewish ladies with his rifle."

She also said that Sen. Mitt Romney needs to be tied "to the roof of the car and go for a drive to clear his head."

University of Illinois professor Catherine Prendergast recently tweeted that Mitch McConnell was a Nazi and compared him to a character from Schindler’s list.

“McConnell is a Nazi,” said Prendergast. “He’s that guy in Schindler’s List who picks off old Jewish ladies with his rifle, for sport.”

"I think we need to tie Mitt to the roof of the car and go for a drive to clear his head."

McConnell is a Nazi. He’s that guy in Schindler’s List who picks off old Jewish ladies with his rifle, for sport.

Prendergast also tweeted that Mitch McConnell was the reason she believed in “Old Testament justice."

Prendergast recently made headlines fire after stating that “MAGA equals Nazi” and advocating for elections “where whites don't vote.”

Similarly, as Campus Reform reported, a professor at the University of Virginia said in a Washington Post Op-Ed that President Trump's rhetoric is "echoing" that of southern enslavers.

“In arguing that radical protesters endanger U.S. law and order, Trump is echoing the attacks leveled by Southern enslavers against abolitionist," Elizabeth Varon wrote.

Campus Reform reached out to Prendergast, but did not receive a response.

Camila Turns Against Raniere – Child Sex Abuse Victim Expected to Come From Mexico to Condemn Raniere at Sentencing

Camila, the first DOS slave, has turned against her Vanguard, Keith Alan Raniere, according to a letter filed by the prosecution on Friday.

She filed a victim impact statement with the court and is expected to come from Mexico to Brooklyn to speak at Raniere’s sentencing on October 27.

Camila is now 30 years old, but the feds found nude pictures of her when she was 15 years old on a hard drive belonging to Raniere.

He was charged with possession of child porn and sexual exploitation of a minor in a superseding indictment.

In 2018 and 2019, Raniere and five co-defendants were indicted for racketeering, racketeering conspiracy and related crimes, including sex trafficking, forced labor, alien smuggling, identity theft and extortion. On June 19, 2019, Raniere was convicted of all seven counts (and all eleven racketeering acts) submitted to the jury including sexual exploitation of Camila.

We learn from the government’s letter that Raniere, then 45, had sex with the 15 year old girl before he took her nude pictures.

Here is the pertinent portion of the letter that Assistant US Attorney Tanya Hajjar filed with the court,

Dear Judge Garaufis:

The government respectfully submits this letter in response to Raniere’s sentencing memorandum filed on September 18, 2020…. The claims and arguments set forth in Raniere’s memorandum are, without exception, inconsistent with the evidence presented at trial. The jury has already rejected them. For the reasons set forth in the government’s sentencing memorandum… the Court should also reject them.

With respect to Raniere’s contentions with respect to Camila (Raniere Mem. at 68-73), the government encloses under separate cover a victim impact statement it has received from Camila. This statement provides further support of Raniere’s sexual abuse of Camila in the months prior to the production of child pornography images.

The government expects that Camila will attend Raniere’s sentencing on October 27, 2020 and may wish to address the Court further at that time….”

When The Buck Stops Nowhere: Barr – Haspel – Pompeo

“The saying “the buck stops here” derives from the slang expression “pass the buck” which means passing the responsibility on to someone else” [1]

This piece begins with an asymmetrical question to the subject of taking (or imposing) responsibility for disaster; why is it Europe worships its biggest losers? Because the collective memory of any given (European, includes its colonial progeny) society constitutes a state of denial or refusal to take responsibility for colossal mistakes? Recalling…

History is the lie commonly agreed upon” -Voltaire

…and considering Voltaire was French, we can, by way of introduction to the following essay, simply point out Napoleon was a multiple loser, several times on a grand scale, who’d drained France of both: blood & treasure. Despite the destruction of the ‘Grande Armée’ (380,000 dead French empire soldiers solely due to Napoleon’s Russia campaign) and ultimate defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon is regarded as ‘great.’ WTF. Fewer, if any, created greater mischief for France than Napoleon. Following on Russia, it was Britain finally imposed responsibility on a greatly weakened France.

As well, then we have aftermath. Napoleon was responsible for the initial unity of several German principalities that ultimately led to the modern German state, and, with his ‘Napoleonic Code’ imposed upon these, introduced the idea of a ‘uniform education’ that, shortly after, inspired Prussia to (with Rules!, Obey!) educate all future Germans into Prussian mentalities and we know what that blessed France with, only a short century later, WWI & ‘pause’ WWII.

But, let us not forget, concerning the two ‘great’ colonizing powers (empires), Britain & France, the greater mischief had been wrought by Britain. The recipe had been straightforward and simple; as England had devolved away from real democratic principles (bloated from the corruption of empire), it had baked up what looks like…

Sing a Song of Sixpence,

A bag full of Rye,

Four and twenty Naughty Boys,

Baked in a Pie.

When the pie was opened

They began to sing;

Wasn’t that a dainty dish,

To set before the king.

…or in the modern idiom:

Empty the jails and lunatic asylums of Britain into the American colonies, add in Europe’s (as a whole) banished religious fanatics (Calvinists, especially) and stir it all into a hybrid vigor that became today’s American empire. Who will be held responsible for the world’s superpower run by hyper-aggressive lunatics (and religious fanatics) that have dispensed with the rule of law except for a fraudulent pretense; where those accountable to constitutional principles are suborned into ‘color of law’ applied like make-up on a corpse (of a thoroughly dead republic.)

CBS News Runs Cover For Joe Biden After President Trump Calls Biden a Socialist During Public White House Event

President Trump on Saturday held his first public event since recovering from Covid at the White House.

Approximately 300 to 400 Trump supporters attended the “peaceful protest” and wore matching hats and t-shirts as President Trump delivered a speech from the White House balcony.

Candace Owens was in attendance as well as the group she founded, “Blexit” – Black conservatives who support President Trump.

President Trump spoke for about 18 minutes and said he is “feeling great.”

“We’re starting very big with our rallies … because we cannot allow our country to become a socialist country,” Trump said to cheers.

Of course the fake news media immediately attacked President Trump for holding a rally at the White House and ran cover for Joe Biden.

CBS News said President Trump “falsely” claimed Biden is a Socialist.

WATCH:

Biden is a trojan horse for the Marxist wing of the Democrat party and has repeatedly bragged that he would be the “most progressive president in US history” if elected.

Progressive = Socialist.

Joe Biden refuses to answer whether he will pack the Supreme Court — the Democrats are planning on overthrowing the Supreme Court with far left Marxists and Biden refuses to answer until ‘after the election’ – as usual, the media gives Biden a pass on whether he will alter a branch of government.

Furthermore, Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris (rated the most liberal member of the Senate), who is really the Democrat candidate for president, is to the left of Bernie Sanders.

Kamala Harris is a radical leftist who supports the following dangerous policies (via Trump campaign):

Instead of prioritizing the wellbeing of the American people, Harris will put illegal immigrants first.

Harris is in lockstep with the socialist, job-killing policies of Bernie Sanders and AOC.

Harris supports massive tax increases and government spending.

Harris would be the most pro-abortion vice president in history.

Ballot Theft! MIA Candidates! It's Time for This Week's Wrap-Up of Ballot Shenanigans!

Nothing inspires confidence in the sanctity of the franchise during this most contentious of elections than a candidate who steals the identities of nursing home residents and hijacks their ballots. This story begins our first weekly wrap up Ballot Shenanigans.

Meet Zul Mirza Mohamed, which may be hard because when he’s not standing guard at the top of a high-rise in New York City waiting for the Ghostbusters or running for mayor of Carrollton, Texas, he’s in jail for “25 counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballot/Ballot Envelope w/o Request of Voter, and 84 counts of Fraudulent Use of Mail Ballot Application.”

The Denton County Sheriff’s Department got a tip and waited for Mohamed to pick up the ballots at a local postal store, where the hijacked mail-in ballots had been sent. Mohamed insisted on curbside service and when an undercover deputy brought out the box of ballots, he busted him.

Sheriff Tracy Murphree wondered how many times this has gone on undetected in the Dallas suburb.

The fact that we caught it this time, doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened in elections past. I’m sure it has. Just people are paying more attention. I think election officials are paying more attention. I think they’re keeping a closer eye on it. I personally believe voting by mail is a dangerous thing

The fact an actual candidate for public office would engage in these activities is appalling. [emphasis added]

What’s in those tumbleweeds in Texas, anyway? Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s Texas political director was recently accused in a lawsuit of engaging in an illegal ballot harvesting scheme.

But we’re not done with the Lone Star state just yet. In their zeal to turn Texas blue, the Democrats have even taken to running candidates who don’t actually live in Texas.

Take Helane Seikaly – please. The Roseville, Calif, resident, UC Davis adjunct professor, Sacramento law firm member and erstwhile deputy city attorney of Atwater, Calif., is running for a congressional seat in Texas, where her parents still live. Seikaly votes in Texas, using her parents’ address as her own while she lives and works in California. She only recently returned to Texas. I guess it makes sense. After all, Democrats don’t think you should have to be a citizen of the United States of America to vote, either.

Speaking of California residents, 2,100 ballots sent to people living in Los Angeles didn’t include the presidential contest on them. Apparently, elections officials don’t think it’s much of a contest and didn’t bother to waste the ink. Secretary of State Alex Padilla says he’s looking into it and new ballots are being printed.

The White House press corps, the never-Trumper Lincoln Project, and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC thought they’d had their “we’ve got him now!” moment when President Trump’s story of Wisconsin ballots dumped in a creek turned out to be ballots and other mail dumped in a ditch. It was later learned that there were no Wisconsin ballots found in that ditch. Well then, good day, sir!

While the president may not be able to recite exact names, dates, times, and locations of ballot shenanigans, he’s not wrong about the fact that they exist.

After spending multiple column inches calling President Trump a liar for mistaking a creek for a ditch, this news broke from New Jersey. A New Jersey postal worker is charged with dumping a bunch of mail – including ballots for this year’s election – into a dumpster.

Approximately 1,875 pieces of mail – including 627 pieces of first class, 873 pieces of standard class, two pieces of certified mail, 99 general election ballots destined for residents in West Orange, and 276 campaign flyers from local candidates for West Orange Town Council and Board of Education – were recovered from dumpsters in North Arlington and West Orange on Oct. 2, 2020, and Oct. 5, 2020. The mail had been scheduled to be delivered on Sept. 28, Oct. 1, and Oct. 2, 2020, to addresses on certain postal routes in Orange and West Orange. On the delivery dates for which mail was recovered, Beauchene was the only mail carrier assigned to deliver mail to the addresses on the recovered mail

Nine military ballots were found dumped in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. Seven of the ballots were marked for President Trump. The Secretary of State, a Democrat, said it was a mistake of training, not intentional fraud.
