Trump Seeking To Declassify Document Contesting Findings That Russia Sought To Help Him In 2016

 

President Donald Trump is seeking to declassify a document contesting the intelligence community’s finding in 2017 that Russia’s goal in intervening in the 2016 election was to assist Trump’s campaign, Reuters reported Thursday.

 

Trump and Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe are reportedly seeking to declassify the document by Thursday evening at the request of California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, according to Reuters. The intelligence community long ago concluded that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election broke in favor of Trump, regardless of the later finding that Trump’s campaign had not colluded with nation.

 

The report comes less than a day after Ratcliffe and FBI Director Christopher Wray announced that both Russia and Iran had separately obtained some U.S. voter registration information and were using it to meddle in the 2020 election.

 

Wray and Ratcliffe say Russia and Iran were behind recent spoof emails reportedly from the Proud Boys group that sought to threaten voters into voting for Trump.

 

“We assess that Russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia ‘establishment,’” William Evanina, Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, wrote at the time. “This is consistent with Moscow’s public criticism of him when he was Vice President for his role in the Obama Administration’s policies on Ukraine and its support for the anti-Putin opposition inside Russia.”

Cdl. Burke: Pope’s homosexual civil union remarks ‘contrary’ to Scripture, Tradition

 

In a new documentary Pope Francis called for homosexual civil unions to be legalized.

 

October 22, 2020 (CardinalBurke.com) – The worldwide communications media have reported with strong emphasis, as a change of course, the news that Pope Francis has declared that persons in the homosexual condition, as children of God, “have a right to have a family” and that “no one should be thrown out or be made unhappy because of it.” Moreover, they write that he has declared: “What we have to create is a civil union. In this way they will be legally covered. I have defended this.” The declarations were made in an interview with Evgeny Afineevsky, director of a documentary, “Francesco,” premiered on October 21, 2020, on the occasion of the Rome Film Festival (Festa del Film di Roma).

 

Such declarations generate great bewilderment and cause confusion and error among Catholic faithful, inasmuch as they are contrary to the teaching of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and of the recent Magisterium by which the Church guards, protects and interprets the whole deposit of faith contained in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. They cause wonderment and error regarding the Church’s teaching among people of good will, who sincerely wish to know what the Catholic Church teaches. They impose upon pastors of souls the duty of conscience to make fitting and necessary clarifications.

 

First of all, the context and the occasion of such declarations make them devoid of any magisterial weight. They are rightly interpreted as simple private opinions of the person who made them. These declarations do not bind, in any manner, the consciences of the faithful who are rather obliged to adhere with religious submission to what Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and the ordinary Magisterium of the Church teach on the matter in question. In particular, the following are to be noted.

 

  1. “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, Tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2357; Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Persona humana, “Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics, no. VIII[1]), inasmuch as they are contrary to the natural law, closed to the gift of life and void of a true affective and sexual complementarity. Therefore, they cannot be approved.

 

  1. The particular and sometimes deep-seated tendencies of persons, men and women, in the homosexual condition, which are for them a trial, although they may not in themselves constitute a sin, represent nonetheless an objectively disordered inclination (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2358; Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Homosexualitatis problema, “Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,” no. 3[2]). They are, therefore, to be received with respect, compassion and sensitivity, avoiding any unjust discrimination. The Catholic faith teaches the faithful to hate sin but to love the sinner.

Marines Hop Islands, Set Up Long-Range Fires as Force Preps for Clash with China

 

Marines in Japan got a look at what the Corps' future missions could look like during a recent island-hopping naval exercise in the East China Sea.

 

After a small team of reconnaissance Marines landed on an island during the first-of-its-kind Exercise Noble Fury, a larger force swooped in on MV-22 Ospreys and AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters. The grunts "quickly seized control of the island, establishing defensive positions," according to a news release on the exercise.

 

The Marines then coordinated with Seventh Fleet sailors, who had identified a target they couldn't engage. After passing info along to the Marines ashore, an Air Force MC-130J Super Hercules landed on an expeditionary airfield in the middle of the night with a high-mobility artillery rocket system, or HIMARS.

 

"The HIMARS team fired a notional shot, destroying the target, and quickly loaded back into the MC-130J, taking off minutes after landing on the island," the release states. The Marines then loaded into CH-53E Super Stallions, it adds, and "were on the move again to prepare for follow-on missions."

 

In a call with reporters when the exercise wrapped up, Col. Robert Brodie, III Marine Expeditionary Force's operations officer, called Noble Fury "a highly successful operation."

 

"This is III MEF's ability to establish expeditionary fires and forward arming and refueling points throughout the Indo-Pacific at any time, in any place of our calling," Brodie said.

 

The exercise follows a call by Commandant Gen. David Berger to make III MEF a "credible deterrent to adversary aggression in the Pacific." The Marine Corps is undergoing a series of force-wide changes as it refocuses on naval-based missions amid rising tensions with China.

 

That includes folding heavy tank units as leathernecks pivot toward missions in which small teams travel light and don't remain in one spot for long. The service recently reestablished a landing support battalion that can deliver supplies to those types of stand-in forces ashore.

 

Noble Fury, Brodie said, gave III MEF and Seventh Fleet the chance to work together in simultaneous and distributed training events across Japan and at sea. During the exercise, Marines and sailors were spread across two Japanese islands Ie Shima and Iwo To while others were in Okinawa or aboard the amphibious assault ship America.

 

"It … showcases III MEF's ability to command and control multiple expeditionary advance bases, [and] forward arming and refueling points throughout the Indo-Pacific theater," Brodie said, adding it's the first time "we've been able to exercise and achieve this."

 

As the Marine Corps put it, "The future of the naval services was on display at Noble Fury."

 

"This future envisions a light, agile Marine Corps force to conduct raids and rapidly seize islands throughout the Indo-Pacific to aid in establishing expeditionary advanced bases," a news release states.

Walmart's Redesigned Airport-Style Stores Will Track Everyone

 

What have corporations learned from the post 9/11 era? Apparently a lot.

 

Since 9/11, airports in the U.S. and across the globe have been redesigned to make people feel safer and make it easier for authorities to ID and track airline passengers.

 

A Fast Company story reveals how Walmart is taking a cue from airport terminals by bringing the airport experience to every store.

 

“Airports were a place that inspired us because, by nature, you don’t spend an awful amount of time in airports, so you don’t know your way around. But you need to get a lot of people somewhere in a timely fashion,” Janey Whiteside, EVP and chief customer officer at Walmart said. The article mentions how Walmart’s newly designed stores will inspire customers to use their cellphones to shop.

 

People walk around the store with a phone in their hand looking down and looking up, and we wanted to integrate those things, so when they look at their phone they can look up at [the same thing] in the store.

 

The video above shows just how far corporations are willing to go to justify using the pandemic to ID and track customers. The video begins by stating…

 

”Please protect yourself and others” by using our “Walmart Pay” or “Scan & Go” apps.

 

Claiming that a Walmart app can magically protect customers from getting COVID is disingenuous and obscures the real reason why corporations want customers to use them.

 

A CNN article does a great job of explaining why Walmart is redesigning their stores.

 

In a push to get more people to download its app and use it while shopping , Walmart is encouraging shoppers to download it prior to entering to assist in navigating the store, search for more options online and pay once finished.

 

Besides using “Walmart Pay” to direct customers to the exact location of items inside the store, it has the added benefit of tracking customers’ cell phones.

 

A Walmart “Terms of Use” link spells out exactly how little Walmart cares about “protecting yourself and others” during COVID-19.

 

You authorize your wireless operator (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon, or any other branded wireless operator) to disclose to Walmart and its third-party service providers your mobile number, name, address, email, network status, customer type, customer role, billing type, mobile device identifiers (IMSI and IMEI) and other subscriber status and device details, if available, solely to verify your identity and prevent fraud for the duration of the business relationship.

 

Once a customer gives a company like Walmart access to their phone’s mobile device identifiers or connects through Walmart’s Bluetooth beacon, it becomes fairly easy to identify each and every customer.

 

By combining CCTV surveillance footage and point-of-sale surveillance footage along with a detailed description of what each customer purchased, it would be easy for Walmart to build a real-time database of every customer.

 

A link to Walmart’s “terms of use payment” section regarding their apps spells out in CAPS how they are not liable for any misuse (hacking) of their apps.

 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL WALMART OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, VENDORS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WALMART APPLICATIONS.

 

Walmart goes on to say they are not liable for any computer malfunctions that might affect their apps and their customers.

 

EVEN IF AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF WALMART HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

If Walmart knew their apps were comprised, surely they would agree to have their customers’ backs and reimburse them if their accounts were breached, right?

Bannon: Feds Moved Former Hunter Associate Bevan Cooney to Isolation to Prevent Further Leaks on Biden Crime Family

 

On Friday news broke that Hunter Biden’s former business partner Bevan Cooney had flipped.

 

Cooney, who is currently serving time in a federal facility in Oregon over a bond scheme, recently connected to journalists Matthew Tyrmand and Peter Schweizer and turned over his emails to the investigative journalists.

 

Bevan Cooney reportedly turned over 26,000 business emails to the journalists.

 

Then on Tuesday Bevan Cooney was removed from the federal facility in Oregon and moved to a new location.

 

Reporter Matthew Tyrmand also tweeted out the news.

On Wednesday Matthew Tyrmand joined Laura Ingraham to give an update on Bevan Cooney.

 

According to Tyrmand authorities moved Cooney from a work camp with white collar criminals to solitary confinement in a more dangerous facility.

 

Bevan Cooney only has one month more to serve.

He is now allegedly isolated from any contacts.

 

On Thursday Steve Bannon told the War Room audience that Bevan Tooney is in isolation to prevent further leaks against the Biden Crime Family.

Joe Biden’s Ties to China Present National Security Risk if He Becomes President, Experts Say

 

Joe Biden and his family’s financial ties to China, recently exposed by emails found on a laptop belonging to his son, Hunter Biden, present a national security risk for America should he be elected president, experts and lawmakers told Breitbart News.

 

They said if Biden is elected president, he would be compromised by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because of the millions of dollars CCP-linked companies have poured into the business ventures tied to his son, Hunter Biden, other family members, and even Joe Biden himself.

 

The emails, which the New York Post published last week, showed Hunter Biden trading in on his personal connections in exchange for millions and discussing how his family would benefit from them.

 

In one August 2017 email, Hunter Biden discussed securing a three-year consulting contract for $10 million a year from Ye Jianming, then the CEO of a Chinese energy firm, for “introductions alone.” It is not specified who was introduced.

 

In that same email chain, he discussed that he and his family were “partners” in an unspecified joint venture: “Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family is that we would also be partners inn [sic] the equity and profits of the JV’s [joint venture’s] investments.”

 

An August 2017 photo showed a handwritten flowchart of ownership of “Hudson West,” with Hunter Biden controlling half and the “Chairman” controlling the other half. A recent report by Senate Republicans showed that a company called Hudson West III opened a line of credit a month later, in September 2017, and that credit cards were issued against the account that fueled a $100,000 shopping spree by Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s brother James, known as “Jim,” and Jim’s wife, Sara Biden.

 

Another document from September 2017 showed that one of Ye’s top lieutenants in Hong Kong had agreed to pay Hunter a $1 million retainer for “counsel to matters related to U.S. law and advice pertaining to the hiring and legal analysis of any US Law Firm or Lawyer.”

 

A May 2017 email showed that “H” — or Hunter Biden — would receive 20 percent of equity or shares in an unspecified joint business venture with a Chinese firm, and someone referenced as “the big guy” would receive ten percent.

 

On Wednesday, one of Hunter Biden’s former business partners, Tony Bobulinski, came forward to confirm that the “big guy” was, in fact, a reference to Joe Biden and the equity he would personally receive.

Amazon Held Back Release of ‘Plot Against the President,’ Said Documentary Needed ‘Content Review’

 

With less than a month to go before the election, Amazon held back the release of the Amanda Milius documentary The Plot Against the President for almost two weeks, saying that the movie needed a “content review” before it could stream on its Prime Video platform.

 

Filmmaker Amanda Milius told Breitbart News that she and her distributor submitted the movie to Amazon on October 10 so that viewers at home could rent or purchase the title digitally. But they were informed six days later that Amazon was conducting a “content review” of the movie.

 

When they inquired about the delay, they said Amazon sent them a vague reply: “We do not have any insight on the ETA for the title. Thanks for your patience with us during this time.”

 

Amazon finally released the movie on Thursday — 12 days after it was first submitted — after a journalist from The Hollywood Reporter inquired about the hold up. Breitbart News separately asked Amazon about the nature of the “content review” but a spokesperson declined to comment.

 

Normally, Amazon takes between two to four days to process a movie submission, according to Cory Tucek, president and CEO of Turn Key Films, which is distributing the documentary.

 

The Plot Against Trump provides an in-depth look at the Russiagate hoax and how Democrats and the mainstream media conspired to undermine the peaceful transition of power following the 2016 election. The documentary, which is based on Lee Smith’s bestseller of the same name, focuses in large part on Rep. Devin Nunes’ (R-CA) efforts to expose efforts to take down President Donald Trump.

 

Amazon has previously suppressed video content that treats President Trump fairly or in a positive way. As Breitbart News reported, Prime Video declined to stream primetime coverage of the Republican National Convention in August, after it streamed all four nights of the DNC the week before.

 

“We need new platforms because this type of thing will just keep happening to us,” Milius told Breitbart News. “We’re at the mercy of these giant platforms.”

 

The Plot Against the President is already available on Vimeo and Turn Key’s own streaming platform, Movies Plus. But distribution on Amazon Prime Video gives the movie far greater reach given Amazon’s ubiquity.

 

Milius estimates that the movie has already been viewed about 500,000 times, not including Amazon Prime Video.

 

The Plot Against the President has also encountered resistance from Facebook when Movies Plus submitted an ad that featured a poster for the documentary.

 

Cory Tucek, who heads the streamer, told Breitbart News that Facebook told him the ad was rejected on the grounds that it could interfere with the election.

 

As Breitbart News reported, Facebook has taken a more aggressive role leading up to the election, recently reducing the distribution of a New York Post bombshell story about the Biden family scandal, which effectively limits the story’s reach to the platform’s users.

Democrat Allegedly Has Undisclosed Relationship with Amazon Lobbyist While Taking Pro-Amazon Votes

 

Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) stands accused of having an undisclosed personal relationship with a lobbyist for Amazon while voting in favor of at least ten pieces of legislation that the company supported.

 

During a debate on Wednesday evening, Republican challenger Matt Mowers accused Pappas of having a relationship with Vann Bentley, who worked as a lobbyist for Amazon in Washington, D.C., from May 2015 to November 2019.

 

“Congressman, you want to talk about relationships with corporate special interests? With all due respect, you’ve been dating a corporate lobbyist who actually was lobbying on behalf of Amazon at the time,” Mowers said during the televised debate.

 

“You were dating a corporate lobbyist. And the fact of the matter is you never disclosed,” Mowers said. “In fact, there are actually rules and regulations. You have to disclose that, especially gifts from lobbyists to the House Ethics Committee, something you’ve never done.”

 

Pappas said in reply, “How dare you. That is not true, Matt. This is an outrageous charge.”

 

Mowers, though, said Pappas seemingly admitted to the undisclosed relationship moments after denying it, calling Bentley his “boyfriend.”

 

Pappas wrote in a statement after the debate that the accusations by Mowers are an attack on the gay community. Pappas became the first openly gay congressman from New Hampshire in January 2019.

 

Former Trump administration official Ric Grenell, the openly gay former ambassador to Germany, backed up Mowers and questioned why Pappas would not disclose such a relationship with a corporate lobbyist.

 

A photo obtained by Mowers’ campaign shows Pappas and Bentley together in an apparent trip to London, England. Bentley has since made his social media accounts on Twitter and Instagram private.

 

In May 2018, Bentley contributed $250 to Pappas’ congressional campaign. Bentley was still an employee of Amazon at the time of this contribution. Mowers said Pappas has not disclosed any gifts from Bentley to the House Ethics Committee.

 

While in Congress, Pappas took at least 10 votes that supported Amazon’s interests. One such vote in July 2019 was Pappas’ support for HR. 1044, a green card giveaway scheme to tech corporations like Amazon.

 

The legislation would allow outsourcing firms such as Cognizant, as well as giant tech corporations like Amazon, to secure a green card system where only temporary foreign workers on H-1B visas are able to obtain employment visas by creating a backlog of seven to eight years for all foreign nationals.

 

This process would solidify that employment-based green cards only go to temporary foreign visa workers that have been imported to the U.S. by corporations to replace American workers — rewarding the outsourcers of U.S. STEM jobs. Experts say India would effectively monopolize the green card system for at least 10 years.

 

Amazon thanked lawmakers like Pappas at the time for voting in their interests.

 

“Nobody is less interested in Chris Pappas’ dating life than me,” Mowers told local media. “What I am interested in is transparency.”

 

“The congressman has been voting on behalf of corporate special interests,” Mowers said. “He’s been funded by corporate special interests. And, you know, the folks in New Hampshire have a right to know why he was voting the way he is, given his ties to corporate special interests.”
