Pompeo To Host Warring Armenian, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers In Washington Friday

According to new reporting in Politico, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will for the first time host the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Washington on Friday in the hopes of hammering out a ceasefire agreement that will hold, unlike the prior Saturday's effort, which lasted but a few hours before shelling resumed again.

The last two ceasefire attempts, the first of which was to allow the Red Cross to recover bodies from the Nagorno-Karabakh front lines, were brokered by Russia. Hundreds or possibly thousands have died in renewed fighting over the disputed ethnic autonomous territory, which Azerbaijan claims as its own, since September 27.

Politico says Friday's meeting will not involve the two delegations being in the same room, but Pompeo is scheduled to meet with them separately. There is the possibility that Pompeo could push for a direct meeting amid the course of talks, however.

Azerbaijan’s ambassador to the US, Elin Suleymanov, on Monday indicated his country is open to talks, saying “We want a substantive conversation.”

Politico underscores further that "their same-day visits signal that the U.S. is deepening its efforts to tamp down the resurgent conflict" at a moment Turkey's military involvement on Baku's side is becoming increasingly evident. On widespread allegations of Turkey's quiet intervention, Pompeo late last week said Ankara is inflaming tensions and the dire situation in the region by arming the Azeris.

Azerbaijan Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov is expected to meet with Pompeo first on Friday morning, with Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan to follow.

A week ago Pompeo had called for an urgent ceasefire, but stopped short offering assistance toward settling the crisis; however, that appears to have changed.

Interestingly, Iran has also offered to mediate the conflict, given Tehran has voiced fears it could spiral into a "regional war". Importantly, Iran's northern border runs along both countries and some Iranian towns are situated not far from the center of fighting. Some Iranian villages have even received errant mortar fire from the conflict, reportedly wounding some Iranian families.

Trump Cuts Off ’60 Minutes’ Interview With Lesley Stahl, Threatens To Publish Footage Himself

President Donald Trump reportedly cut off a ’60 Minutes’ interview with reporter Lesley Stahl at the White House on Tuesday, going on to threaten to publish the interview himself prior to airtime.

Stahl’s interview with the president is scheduled to release Sunday. Trump reportedly left the interview after 45 minutes and never returned for a post-interview walk-and-talk with Stahl and Vice President Mike Pence. Neither the White House nor Stahl have offered any details as to what topics or questions led to the cut off, though Trump called it a “fake and biased interview.”

Trump and several members of the White House press office began tweeting anecdotes critical of Stahl shortly after the interview concluded. Trump criticized her for not wearing a mask after the interview, with White House Deputy Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt adding that Stahl had criticized her for not wearing a mask earlier that day.

This is not the first time Trump has had a contentious interview with Stahl. He previously interviewed with her for ’60 Minutes’ in 2018 in a wide ranging conversation featuring testy back-and-forth moments.

Stahl and 60 Minutes have yet to respond to Trump’s threat to publish the interview.

YouTube confirms it will immediately ban all videos that question the “official” vaccine narrative promoted by the corrupt WHO and vaccine companies

YouTube just confirmed they will work with the World Health Organization (WHO) to remove any videos that question the official vaccine narrative promoted by vaccine companies.

The Stalinist WHO has become nothing more than a Big Pharma front group, advancing the interests of vaccine makers. The WHO has made Big Tech its echo chamber, selling Big Pharma’s immunosuppressants, which includes a long list of vaccines that damage cellular immunity. There is no longer a shred of transparency surrounding vaccine science because the WHO is strategically eliminating any dissent about vaccination online.

WHO uses Silicon Valley to censor truths about vaccination

The WHO has partnered with Silicon Valley Big Tech giants to weed out any information about vaccine damage, vaccine injury, viral shedding from vaccines, among other serious topics that concern public health. The WHO is targeting any hopeful information on treatments, preventative nutrition, plant-based medicines, and any information that could advance innate immunity and free human beings from endless vaccine experiments. This authoritarian organization pays no regard to human rights as their team of vaccine pushers work to bury information that is critical of vaccine science, its shortcomings, and its sordid history of deadliness.

The scientific method is being suppressed and censored because the WHO demands vaccine obedience, targeting dissenters of vaccines as “a public health threat.” The WHO demands wide scale vaccine distribution while ignoring the science on its adverse effects. This network of vaccine pushers coordinate to ensure that vaccine makers enjoy legal immunity when their products do harm, while censoring any debate about this atrocious reality.

Stalinist WHO coordinates with YouTube to suppress covid-19 vaccine concerns

The modern-day World Health Organization is like the USSR State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting, a propaganda and information suppression branch of Joseph Stalin’s early 20th century Soviet Union communist empire. During that time, the Soviet Union controlled the television networks and radio stations with their own political propaganda, while locking down public speaking on important matters of human freedom, and punishing anyone who dared commit “a slip of the tongue.”

China Ambassador: Is White Birth Rate Collapse The Result of 'The Genocide Policy Pursued by Their Leaders?'

China's Ambassador to Grenada, Dr Zhao Yongchen, on Tuesday pushed back against claims his country is "committing genocide" against the exploding Uyghur population by accusing US and European leaders of pursuing a "genocide policy" against their own populations.

On Friday, U.S. national security adviser Robert O'Brien told the Aspen Institute that "something close to" genocide was happening to Muslims in China's Xinjiang region.

Ambassador Yongchen responded on Twitter, writing: "In Europe and America, the birth rate of whites has fallen very seriously. Is this the result of the genocide policy pursued by their leaders?"

He continued: "The Uyghur population in Xinjiang has exploded, but the Chinese govt has been accused of committing genocide by conspirators. Nosense! [sic]"

"It's not going to stop," Biden said. "Nor should we want it to stop. As a matter of fact, it's one of the things I think we can be most proud of."

Intel Agrees To Sell Most Of Its Memory Chip Business To SK Hynix For $9 Billion

The deal will make SK Hynix one of the world’s biggest NAND memory makers

Intel will continue to make NAND wafers at the Dalian, China facility until closing

Intel shares have dropped 10% this year

Intel said it has agreed to sell the majority of its memory chip business to South Korean memory semiconductor supplier SK Hynix for $9 billion.

The deal will make SK Hynix one of the world’s biggest NAND memory makers, the Wall Street Journal noted.

The assets to be sold comprise the Intel NAND memory and storage business, including the NAND SSD (solid state drive) business, the NAND component and wafer business, and the Dalian NAND memory manufacturing facility in northeastern China.

NAND is a kind of non-volatile flash memory. Digital cameras, USB flash drives, smartphones, and SSDs use NAND flash memory for storage.

According to research firm TrendForce, SK Hynix and Intel had a combined NAND memory market share of more than 20% in the second quarter. South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co. was the top player with more than 30% of the global market.

Under terms of the agreement, Intel will continue to make NAND wafers at the Dalian facility and retain all intellectual property related to the manufacture and design of NAND flash wafers until the final closing.

Intel will, however, retain its Intel Optane memory storage business, which is widely used in data centers.

For the first six months of the year, the NAND businesses being sold to SK Hynix accounted for about $2.8 billion of the revenue for Intel. But Intel, the Journal reported, has been seeking to exit the flash memory business due to falling prices in the sector.

The proposed transaction remains subject to government approvals – with a final closing expected in 2025.

Intel shares have dropped 10% this year, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor index has surged 30%.

Investigation Prompts Schools to Report $6.5 Billion in Undisclosed Foreign Gifts and Contracts

NEW YORK—American Universities failed to report $6.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts, an investigation by the Department of Education found.

Federal law requires schools to disclose substantial foreign gifts and contracts to the Department of Education (DOE) twice a year. Many have for years failed to do so, while others severely underreported the income. The deluge of the financial disclosures poured in as the department opened investigations into 12 elite universities.

Universities reported receiving a total of more than $19.6 billion in foreign gifts and contracts from 2014 to 2020, including nearly $1.5 billion from China, almost $3.1 billion from Qatar, and more than $1.1 billion from Saudi Arabia, according to historical DOE data and most recent figures posted on its new online reporting portal.

Carnegie Mellon University reported receiving almost $1.61 billion in foreign gifts and contracts, the most of any university. Harvard tops the list in terms of total funds received from China, reporting nearly $116 million.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos unveiled the findings of the investigation at an event on Oct. 20, alongside officials from the Justice Department and the State Department.

“The threat is real, so we took action to make sure the public is afforded the transparency the law requires,” DeVos said. “We found pervasive noncompliance by higher-ed institutions and significant foreign entanglement with America’s colleges and universities.”

The vast majority of the foreign funds went to America’s largest and most prestigious universities, which have received billions of dollars through a bevy of intermediaries, according to a report released by the DOE on Oct. 20 All of the institutions involved are in the meantime dependent on tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer subsidies while operating largely “divorced from any sense of obligation to our taxpayers or concern for our American national interests, security, or values,” the DOE report states.

For the first half of 2020 alone, U.S. universities retroactively reported $2 billion in foreign gifts and contracts. One school, which isn’t identified in the report, failed to report $760 million in foreign funding. University officials told the DOE they were “dumbfounded” by the reporting error. Another unnamed school failed to report $1.2 billion in foreign gifts and contracts.

Biden Hauls in $200K From Goldman Sachs Exec Who ‘Screwed America’s Economy’

Donald Mullen was the architect of the 'Big Short' that allowed Goldman to profit off financial crisis

The former Goldman Sachs executive who devised the "Big Short" and told colleagues they would make "serious money" off the housing market collapse has poured $200,000 into Joe Biden's victory fund, filings show.

Donald Mullen Jr., a mastermind behind the scheme that allowed Goldman Sachs to profit during the financial crisis, pushed the six-figure donation into the Biden Victory Fund this past quarter. Mullen has given generously to a number of other liberal committees and politicians this cycle, including the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Senate candidates Mark Kelly and Theresa Greenfield, among many others.

Mullen's donation to Biden's joint fundraising committee came as the presidential contender saw a windfall from Wall Street executives in the third quarter. Biden has so far outpaced President Donald Trump in donations from the financial sector by nearly $40 million. But perhaps none of the donations could draw as much ire as Mullen's, who has become known as the man who "screwed America's economy."

As head of Goldman Sachs's mortgage and credit business, Mullen was a leading player in the subprime mortgage trade that helped the financial giant profit off the housing market collapse. Mullen and other executives at Goldman bet big that the housing bubble would burst, even as they urged customers to invest in the market. The bet became known as the "Big Short" and was credited to Mullen, who told colleagues in a 2007 email that they "will make some serious money."

The company was ordered to pay $5 billion in 2016 for its role in the financial crisis. Mullen was never accused of wrongdoing.

After leaving Goldman Sachs in 2012, Mullen launched his own New York City-based real estate investment firm called Pretium Partners LLC, which buys foreclosed homes and rents them out to tenants. The group sought to raise $1 billion for its activities in 2016 and has brought a number of former Goldman Sachs alums on board.
