Twitter Goes Full Orwell, Censors All Topics "Likely To Be Subject To Election Misinformation"

Twitter is pulling out all the stops, with just 7 days left until the 2020 election.

As if a complete and total coverup of the Hunter Biden story by the mainstream media and big tech wasn't far enough; and as if every social media product and app you use annoyingly reminding you to vote on November 3 wasn't enough, Twitter has now apparently gone "full Orwell" and, through a spokesperson, basically said they will prompt users with warnings on "topics that are likely to be the subject of election misinformation".

The news hit Bloomberg around 12:30pm EST on Monday:

TWITTER WILL BEGIN TO SHOW PROMPTS TO U.S. USERS THAT ADDRESS TOPICS THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE SUBJECT OF ELECTION MISINFORMATION - TWITTER SPOKESPERSON

What are "topics that are likely to be the subject of election misinformation", anyway? We're guessing it can include any literally anything that would be detrimental to Democratic nominee Joe Biden, while negative press and conspiracies about President Trump are allowed to run amok at will.

Text Messages Show VP Biden and His Wife Colluded to Suppress HUNTER’S ACTIONS WITH A CERTAIN MINOR

Yesterday we reported on former VP Joe Biden who snapped at a reporter who dared to ask him about his son Hunter. But VP Biden can’t get out of this one.

Biden did not let WYOU reporter Andy Mehalshick get through his question before snapping during an event on Saturday.

“Questions and controversy continue today about Hunter Biden, your son,” Mehalshick began

“There is no controversy,” he interjected. “That’s all a lie.”

“It’s a flat lie because the president has nothing else to run on.” Biden said.

Biden does not want you to believe your own eyes.

Of course, Biden is the one who is lying, as leaked emails have revealed deep levels of corruption and homemade porn of his son smoking crack with prostitutes is all over the internet.

But today we have more – much more…

Hunter Biden sent the following text to a family friend where he shares that someone is accusing him of being sexually inappropriate around her daughter. This is why Hunter claims he is not allowed to be alone with that person:

In another text message from Hunter to a family friend, Hunter shares that his mother, Jill Biden, propagates the claims that Hunter is sexually inappropriate around the children and VP Joe Biden is aware as well:

In a text message sent to Hunter Biden from his Uncle Jim Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden’s brother, Uncle Jim shares that both he and former VP Joe Biden are upset with accusations of impropriety but they don’t believe them. Jim and Joe Biden want to discuss with Hunter so they can all get their stories straight:

VP Biden, this is no lie. It’s not coming from President Trump. This is not Russian disinformation. It’s coming from your nuclear family.

As an officer of the court, why didn’t you address this horrible and potentially criminal situation within your family?

Trump's chopping block: President will immediately fire 'FBI director Christopher Wray, CIA director Gina Haspel, Defense Secretary Mark Esper AND a long line of senior officials' if he wins reelection

Donald Trump is planning on immediately firing FBI Director Christopher Wray, and also intends to replace CIA director Gina Haspel and Defense Secretary Mark Esper if he wins re-election next month, a new report suggests.

Each of their names are reportedly etched atop the president's post-election execution list, which also includes a host of other senior officials, two White House sources told Axios.

Firing Wray, who has been in charge of the FBI since 2017, will reportedly be Trump's first course of action, followed by the ousting of Haspel from the CIA.

The White House sources said that both Wray and Haspel are almost unanimously 'despised and distrusted' by Trump's inner circle.

Trump reportedly would have fired them both already, one source said, had it not been for the looming November 3 election, and the political headaches that such motions can cause.

The president's ire was apparently struck with Wray after he failed to launch a formal investigation into Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and his business dealings in Ukraine.

Trump was also said to be left furious at his second FBI chief for failing to purge more officials that he believes abused their power to investigate his 2016 election campaign's alleged ties to Russia.

Additionally, Trump was reportedly aggrieved by testimony Wray offered to the Senate Homeland Security Committee last month, in which he stated the FBI has not seen widespread election fraud, including with mail-in ballots, contrary to Trump's repeated claims.

While Trump appears less than satisfied with Wray's FBI tenure, a senior FBI official told Axios that, 'Major law enforcement associations representing current and former FBI agents as well as police and sheriff's departments across the country have consistently expressed their full support of Director Wray's leadership of the Bureau.'

As for Haspel, one source said the opinion among the West Wing is that she sees her job as 'manipulating people and outcomes, the way she must have when she was working assets in the field.'

Such an assessment has reportedly 'bred a lot of suspicion of her motives.'

Trump is also reportedly increasingly frustrated with Haspel for opposing Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe's declassification of documents to assist in a review of the Obama administration's handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.

But a source said Haspel may even step down from her post regardless of Trump's apparent looming dismissal, and regardless of the outcome of the election.

'Since the beginning of DNI's push to declassify documents, and how strongly she feels about protecting sources connected to those materials, there have been rumblings around the agency that the director plans to depart the CIA regardless of who wins the election,' a source told Axios.

Affidavit submitted by Texas Peace Officer: Evidence shows Houston judge and election staff committing voter fraud

HARRIS COUNTY, TX- Retired police officer and Texas poll watcher, Raymond T. Stewart submitted a sworn affidavit on Thursday, October 22nd, to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office stating that he personally witnessed an election judge and staff members cheating in the 2020 election.

Thank you to those who watched me on Newsmax TV this morning. The Houston Voter Fraud allegations implicate the Joe Biden campaign Under Oath!https://t.co/YS3X54wclO

— Patrick Howley (@HowleyReporter) October 19, 2020

This affidavit was exclusively obtained by National File and it alleges that a Houston precinct judge and staff illegally used a stack of driver’s licenses in their possession to allow people to vote illegally in the 2020 election at a drive-through voting window, which was created to allow people to vote safely during a world-wide pandemic.

In addition to seeing first-hand voter fraud, Stewart provided pictures with his affidavit. According to reports, the acting precinct judge’s identity has been confirmed by the Harris County Clerk’s Office and insiders identify her as a Democrat. Below is the sworn affidavit, under oath, of Raymond T. Stewart:

“My name is Raymond T. Stewart. I am above the age of eighteen years and am fully competent to make this affidavit. The facts stated in this affidavit are within my personal knowledge and are true and correct. I am a 30+ year veteran Texas Peace Officer. I am a volunteer poll watcher for Candidate Andre Hines.”

“On 10/13/2020, at 8:40 a.m., I arrived at polling location Northeast Multi-Service Center, PRCT ID SRD141C, 9720 Spaulding Street, Houston, Texas 77016.

I informed the staff that I was a poll watcher for a candidate and had my paperwork. I asked for the precinct judge to sign my required paperwork so I could start work.

The precinct judge is identified as April Elmore (Gibson) and she was there, but refused to sign my paperwork and she instead directed me to someone inside named Madonna.”

“Madonna signed my paperwork, but not in the designated signature line. I then began my work as a poll watcher. I observed several oddities, but the most concerning was a table in between the sign-in tables One and Three. At that table there was a large stack of driver’s licenses.

Staff would come inside from the drive-through voting booth and scan a driver’s license from someone outside and get a ticket and return outside.”

“But, sometimes a staff member would search through the stack of driver’s licenses on the table, then scan it, receive a ticket and also go outside to the drive-through booth.

As a police officer, I quickly became suspicious that they were committing a crime by having the unattended D.L.’s just sitting on the table and that possible voting crimes were being committed using these forms of ID.”

“Also, during this time frame an employee of the Harris County Attorney’s Office came by and he conversed with April, but nothing changed and he departed.

China unveils revenge sanctions on US firms including Boeing and Lockheed Martin after Washington's $1.8billion arms sale to Taiwan

China will impose sanctions on US companies including Boeing and Lockheed Martin for supplying weapons to Taiwan, a foreign ministry spokesman said Monday.

Raytheon also will be targeted, said the spokesman, Zhao Lijian. He gave no details of what penalties might be imposed or when.

China and Taiwan split during a civil war in 1949 and have no diplomatic relations. Beijing claims the democratically led island as part of the communist mainland's territory and has threatened to invade.

'In order to safeguard national interests, China decided to impose sanctions on the American companies that were involved in arms sales to Taiwan,' Zhao said at a regular news briefing.

He stated that Beijing would also punish the individuals who had 'played bad roles' in the weapon deal.

The US State Department last week approved the potential trade of three weapons systems to self-ruled Taiwan, including sensors, missiles and artillery that could have a total value of $1.8billion (£1.38billion).

Taipei welcomed the weapons package but said it was not looking to get into an arms race with Beijing.

The Trump administration has ramped up support for Taiwan through arms sales and visits by senior US officials, adding to tensions between Beijing and Washington, already heightened by disagreements over the South China Sea, Hong Kong, human rights and trade.

The latest US arms package includes sensors, missiles and artillery, and further congressional notifications are expected for drones made by General Atomics and land-based Harpoon anti-ship missiles, made by Boeing, to serve as coastal defence cruise missiles.

Special Rapporteur on Torture’s Report to UN General Assembly Indicts Human Self-Interest

In his report to the General Assembly of the UN on October 15, Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer delivered an incisive and damning indictment of the human propensity for self-deception and denial, citing these attributes as contributing to the prevalence of torture. He discussed how these innate propensities paved the way for denial that torture was taking place and for compartmentalization of one’s own participation in hurting other people. While applauding the normative structure of society and law in terms of “official” prohibitions against torture, Melzer unequivocally stated that these structures were not sufficient in stopping torture, given the human tendency towards self-interest and self-protection, and discussed how this tendency rears up in fear-based societies.

Melzer’s report stated:

The root cause of the systemic governance failure is not a lack of expertise, resources or normative consensus, nor generalized malicious intent, but lies in generic biopsychosocial factors that have shaped human decision-making throughout history, irrespective of national, cultural, religious or other distinctive influences. (Report A/75/179 – E – A/75/179)

Referring to the growing concerns about the “national security” state, he declares that “The need to defend against threats to individual or public security is the predominant utilitarian basis upon which torture and ill-treatment are justified. One can see where the threats inherent first in the attacks of September 11 and now in the “public health emergency” of the pandemic would provide sufficient basis for the preconditions for torture cited here.”

As he stated in the call out for submissions,

The….report aims to demonstrate that torture and other forms of ill-treatment cannot be effectively eradicated in any governance system failing to fully acknowledge and rigorously mitigate the corrosive effect of such psychosocial dynamics through normative, institutional and policy measures ensuring full transparency and strict accountability for all exercise of governmental power.

In producing this report, Melzer has essentially made a strong indictment of human consciousness and delved into the darkness which has resulted not only in the well-established Hitlerian and Stalinesque atrocities of the 20th century, but also those which are continuing on, unabated, under a smoother set of protocols, wherein the need for “protection” from bogeymen and bogeyviruses is cited as sufficient rationale for the widespread practice of torture. In so doing, he joins a growing list of authors, social psychologists and ethicists who have explored the human tendency towards self- deception and self- gratification, and how these tendencies result in horrific abuses. Stanley Milgram’s experiments on “obedience to authority,” Howard Bloom’s book, The Lucifer Principle and even Scott Peck’s theological treatise, The People of the Lie, have also explored the roots of human on human abuse and have come up with disturbing conclusions about the very heart of humanity.

At the end of this most recent report, Melzer provided a list of recommendations to address this human proclivity to harm other humans. His recommendations included an abolition of secrecy, so that practices would become transparent. He recommended also that reports of wrongdoing be promptly investigated by the authorities, not covered up.

Russian Airstrikes Kill Dozens of Turkish-Backed Fighters in Syria

Last week, a US drone strike killed dozens in Idlib

Russian airstrikes killed dozens of Turkish-backed fighters in Syria’s northwest Idlib province on Monday. The strike targeted a camp for Faylaq al-Sham, one of the larger Turkish backed groups in Idlib.

According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), 56 fighters were killed, and 100 were wounded in the airstrikes.

Turkey sent thousands of fighters into Idlib earlier this year to halt a Syrian government offensive to retake Idlib, which is mostly controlled by Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS), an al-Qaeda affiliate formerly known as al-Nusra Front.

Russia and Turkey brokered a ceasefire in March to halt the violence in Idlib. While there has been shelling and minor offensives by both sides, the ceasefire has held relatively well. Monday’s airstrikes appear to be the largest Russian operations since the truce was reached.

Last week, the US carried out a drone strike in Idlib that killed 17 al-Qaeda-linked fighters and six civilians. According to the SOHR, the US strike killed former members of HTS who sided with Hurras al-Din, another al-Qaeda affiliate that recently split from HTS.

The US Joint Special Operations Command, with help from the CIA, is waging a covert drone war against Hurras al-Din in Idlib. The US also supports Turkey in its efforts against the Syrian government.

Turkey does not outright back HTS, but Ankara has coordinated closely with the al-Qaeda affiliate in Idlib, and Turkish-backed fighters have fought alongside the group.

Virginia Military Institute Superintendent Resigns Amid 'Structural Racism' Probe

LEXINGTON, Va. — The superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute has resigned, the school's board president announced in a statement Monday, a week after state officials ordered an investigation into what they characterized as a culture of “ongoing structural racism.”

Retired Army Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III tendered his resignation Monday, and the Board of Visitors accepted it “with deep regret,” board President John William Boland said in a statement.

“General Peay has served VMI as superintendent exceptionally well for more than 17 years. General Peay is a great American, patriot, and hero. He has profoundly changed our school for the better in all respects,” the statement said.

VMI, founded in 1839, was the first state-supported military college in the nation.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a VMI graduate, and other top Democratic elected officials sent a letter to the state-supported school's board a week ago announcing an investigation into the school’s culture, policies, practices and equity in disciplinary procedures. That decision came on the heels of a Washington Post story that described Black cadets and alumni facing “relentless racism.”

The Post story described incidents such as lynching threats and a white professor reminiscing in class about her father’s Ku Klux Klan membership.

The Roanoke Times also reported months ago on Black alumni speaking out about racism at the school.

Boland responded to the officials last week, saying that the school would welcome a review and pledges its full cooperation.

“However, systemic racism does not exist here and a fair and independent review will find that to be true,” Boland wrote in the letter, which a school spokesman provided to The Associated Press.

Boland's statement Monday said the board would “immediately” turn its attention to the search for a new superintendent.

A school spokesman said Peay was not granting interview requests.

Netanyahu: ‘We are changing the map of the Middle East’

In a televised speech broadcast on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “we are changing the map of the Middle East”, in reference to the normalization deal being signed with Arab states.

“We brought three peace deals in six weeks. It’s not luck, it’s not coincidence but the result of clear policy, and our efforts,” the Times of Israel reported him saying, adding that more countries will be added to the list soon.

After the declaration of the Sudanese-Israeli normalisation deal, US President Donald Trump predicted that Saudi Arabia would soon follow suit.

Netanyahu said that Israel had already agreed with Sudan for Israeli flights to fly over the African nation’s territory — an agreement “made before we announced normalisation”.

He said that planes from Israel can now head west over Africa via Sudan and Chad — “with which we also established diplomatic relations” — to Brazil and South America, the Times of Israel reported.

As he was speaking, Netanyahu pointed to a map and said that Israel could also now fly directly to India and the Far East quickly thanks to the deals with the UAE and Bahrain.

“It’s an immense change” for Israel, he said.

Egypt and Jordan have signed peace agreements with Israel in the 1970s and 1990s respectively.

One Last Chance to Revive America’s Forgotten Constitutional Traditions and Avoid WWIII

As I laid out in my last article published on the Saker, false solutions to a crisis of global proportions are being promoted in the form of a “Great Global Reset” which aims at creating a new economic order under the fog of COVID. This emerging “new order”, as it is being promoted by Mark Carney, George Soros, Bill Gates and other minions of the City of London is shaped by a devout commitment to depopulation, world government and master-slave systems of social control.

By attempting to tie the new system of “value” to economic practices which are designed to crush humanity’s ability to sustain itself in the form of “reducing carbon footprints”, “sustainable green energy”, cap and trade, carbon taxes and green infrastructure bonds, humanity is being set up to accept a system of governance onto our children and grandchildren which will subject them to a dystopic world of fascism the likes of which even Hitler could not have dreamed.

The misanthropic philosophy underlying the Great Reset is not new but go back thousands of years and although this fact of world history has been intentionally obscured, the revolution that established a new nation in 1776 represented a total rejection of this system.

The Dual Nature of the USA as a Force in World History

While many people find it easy to dismiss the USA as an intrinsically evil empire which always strove to replace the British Empire as the hegemon of the earth, there is a much richer historic fight at play which America’s emergence as a new nation in 1776 exemplified and which I recently outlined in the lecture below.

https://youtu.be/MAJxCwruZoQ

As I will demonstrate in this essay, the revolution of 1776 was never about tea parties, taxes or the “right to defend property” as may revisionist historians have lyingly written over many generations.

It was rather an international affair that gave rise to a system of political economy which placed value NOT upon the worshiping money but rather upon the inherent powers of creative reason located in the minds of all citizens. This potentially infinite resource (or “the resource that creates all other resources”) is only expressed IF a nation’s citizens are given the opportunities, means, hope and inspiration to express them. Abraham Lincoln stated this principle beautifully when he said:

“All creation is a mine, and every man, a miner. The whole earth, and all within it, upon it, and round about it, including himself, in his physical, moral, and intellectual nature, and his susceptibilities, are the infinitely various “leads” from which, man, from the first, was to dig out his destiny… Man is not the only animal who labors; but he is the only one who improves his workmanship. This improvement, he effects by Discoveries, and Inventions.”

The means developed by leading figures of the revolution, to be used by government with the aim of actualizing those powers of mind included practices of national banking, public credit, selective protectionism and increasing the productive powers of labor via investments into internal improvements, infrastructure and scientific progress.

This is the system which the ruling oligarchy is currently frightened may be brought back online under the conditions of a breakdown crisis should Trump maintain his position as President, and due to the fact that it has been so entirely obscured from history books, some words are worth devoting to its existence now.

U.S. Marshals Recover 45 Missing Children

Columbus, OH – During the month of October, the U.S. Marshals Service Offices in Southern Ohio and Southern West Virginia, in conjunction with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force participated in operation “Autumn Hope”. Operation Autumn Hope was a multi-agency enforcement operation focused on human trafficking and the location and recovery of missing and exploited children. During the operation 45 missing children were recovered by the U.S. Marshals and 179 arrests were made by the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force. In addition, 20 children were located per the request of law enforcement to ensure the child’s well-being. The operation was supported by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), and Ohio state and local agencies.

During one of the missing child recoveries, a loaded gun was recovered. The 15-year old male juvenile had two warrants and is suspected in multiple shootings and a homicide.

Another case involved a high-risk 15-year old girl who was missing from Cleveland. Information developed from that recovery linked her and other possible victims to an individual in Columbus suspected of human trafficking.

An additional recovery of two juveniles occurred when the USMS Southern Ohio task force forwarded information to Marshals in West Virginia. A recovery of the missing juveniles occurred on a traffic stop after the W.V. State Patrol was informed to be on the lookout for the adult male and the vehicle he was driving. The adult male was charged with concealment/removal of a minor child in Jackson County, WV.

During the operation the Lancaster Police Department requested assistance in locating a 14-year-old girl who was reported missing in the middle of the night. The girl was recovered in Columbus by the U.S. Marshals within six hours of being reported missing.

Over the past five years, the USMS has recovered missing children in 75% of the cases it has received. And of those recovered, 72% were recovered within 7 days. Since 2005, the USMS has recovered more than 2,000 missing children. The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 enhanced the U.S. Marshals’ authority to assist federal, state and local law enforcement with the recovery of missing, endangered or abducted children, regardless of whether a fugitive or sex offender was involved. The Marshals established a Missing Child Unit to oversee and manage the implementation of its enhanced authority under the act.

The U.S. Marshals Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) is comprised of 70 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies from the lower 48 counties in the state of Ohio.

“My thanks to all personnel who have stepped up for this operation,” said Peter C. Tobin, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio. “These are the same personnel who hunt down violent fugitives every day. I’m incredibly proud of them and pleased that they were able to apply those same skills to finding missing children. I know Operation Autumn Hope has made a difference in a lot of young lives.”

Former Southeast Texas elementary teacher admits to explicit sexual conversations with minors

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – A former Southeast Texas elementary teacher pleaded guilty Thursday to transferring obscene materials to a minor.

This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Corpus Christi, Texas, Texas Department of Public Safety and the Corpus Christi Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Lazaro Benito Rocha, 27, a resident of Odom, Texas, admitted Oct. 22 that he had responded to an ad on Craigslist advertising a “good time” with a teenage girl. He continued communicating with whom he thought was a 14-year-old female, which soon escalated into conversations of an explicit sexual nature via text messaging.

Using his cell phone, Rocha eventually sent a photograph of his genitals.

The investigation revealed he was a part-time elementary music teacher at the Incarnate Word Academy in Corpus Christi.

Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 25, 2021. At that time, Rocha faces up to 10 years in federal prison as well as a possible $250,000 maximum fine.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Popejoy is prosecuting the case.

Several states have already reached more than 60% of their 2016 voter turnout

2020 presidential election ballots cast so far

Several states have already reached more than 60% of their 2016 voter turnout

"Nationwide, voters will not only be sent an unprecedented number of at least 87 million mail ballots, but they are returning them sooner than in past elections," McDonald wrote. "In all nearly 40 million mail ballots have been returned so far, a return rate of nearly 46%."

"This is good news!" he continued, pointing to worries about whether or not government officials would be able to handle an election during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Yes, there have been problems, and in many places lines are intolerably long," he recognized. "But, people are voting and there are more opportunities for them to do so by Election Day. Americans’ resilience and support for their democracy is very heartening in these trying times."

Some states have already reached more than 60% of their 2016 voter turnout as of Wednesday, including Texas (80.2%), Montana (69.6%). Georgia (64.9%), North Carolina (65%), Tennessee (65%), New Mexico (60.9%), and Hawaii (60.2%).

Texas has seen the largest voter turnout so far; nearly 7.2 million Texans have cast ballots so far. California and Florida trail just behind with 6.5 million and 5.7 million ballots cast, respectively. North Carolina has already recorded 3.1 million ballots cast.

McDonald previously told Fox News that he "expected some things to be different since states changed their laws" to accommodate voters amid the pandemic. More than 87 million absentee ballots have been sent to voters so far this year.

‘Economist’ Failed to Disclose Lucrative Beijing Ties

UK mag cashed Huawei checks as it covered telecom giant

The Economist provided sympathetic coverage of a Chinese tech giant widely considered a national security risk without disclosing the publication's lucrative business relationship with the firm that spanned nearly a decade.

Huawei Technologies commissioned the Economist‘s business consulting division to advance its policy agendas and deflect cybersecurity concerns raised by Western governments. The influential British magazine produced reports on a wide range of subjects—including a report on broadband access in the United Kingdom that Huawei credits to have influenced British policy. The publication has also run numerous Huawei advertisements, and its editors have cohosted several global forums with the company, helping the tech firm boost its public image as it faced growing scrutiny from the developed world for its close ties with the Chinese government.

The Economist defended Huawei in a front-page cover story in 2012—the year the publication's consulting division started working with the company—that accused Western countries of using cybersecurity concerns as a pretense to oppose legitimate competition from Huawei. The publication's coverage of the tech company has become less overtly pro-Huawei in recent years, but the Economist‘s coverage of the company is seen as friendly enough that Huawei's PR division has cited several of the magazine's articles to deflect criticism.

"The rise of a Chinese world-beater is stoking fears of cyber-espionage. Techno-nationalism is not the answer," reads the 2012 piece's headline.

Huawei nurtured a lucrative relationship with the Economist just as it faced growing concerns from Western countries that broadband networks built by the tech firm serve as a conduit for Chinese espionage. Such cybersecurity concerns have pushed the United States, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other U.S. allies to severely curtail or outright ban the company's operations in their countries.

Massive meth, fentanyl lab and other facilities raided by Mexican authorities

According to the Associated Press, Mexican authorities raided a meth and fentanyl lab last week capable of processing 11,000 pounds (5,000 kg) of raw material at a time, the country’s federal Attorney General’s Office announced on Sunday. The sheer size of the facility left authorities in shock.

“In the Attorney General’s Office, we have no record of any seizure of equipment of this size before,” said Felipe de Jesus Gallo of the federal Attorney General’s Office. He also said that the lab had two-story-tall chemical preparation vats.

Last week, the “mega-lab” was discovered on the outskirts of Mexico City, CBS News reported. A fake storefront advertising industrial cleaning products was used to conceal the warehouse in which the lab was located. The warehouse housed 265-gallon tanks containing precursor chemicals as well as stacks of drums. According to Gallo, these chemicals can be used for manufacture methamphetamines and synthetic opioid fentanyl.

In addition to this warehouse, other sites across the country were also raided as part of the operation that was code-named “Blue.” Some of these other sites were located in the states of Durango and Sonora in the north, other parts of Mexico City, as well as in the surrounding State of Mexico.

A raid at another property in Mexico City saw the arrest of an engineer and the seizure of a drum of what is thought to be a fentanyl precursor and instructions on how to go about processing it. The engineer supposedly constructed and operated labs for an organized crime group.

Furthermore, another raid at a lab in Sonora discovered 290 kilograms (639.34 pounds) of meth, some of which was intended for shipment to the United States, said Gallo. The batch was said to have “a high level of purity.”

Authorities suspect that the group running this drug operation is one based out of Sinaloa, evidence of which linked all these raids together.

The intelligence gathered by Mexican marines points to the source of the fentanyl precursors as China but imported through a Hong Kong company, per CBS News. A multi-container shipment of these precursors reportedly entered through a port in Baja California after being shipped out from a port in Japan, the marines said they had tracked.

The Global Capitalist Cage and the Corona Crisis: “Solutions” by Those Who Have Created “The Problems”

It’s hard to talk about the myriad issues piled in our society in a cohesive way, and when we try, we often get the same response: “What is your solution?” People get frustrated and demand an instant solution to the structural problem they are very much a part of. The very insistence on a single, cure-for-all-answer betrays their unwillingness to see the structural and systematic nature of the problem. Meanwhile they allow themselves “solutions” which are concocted by those who have created the problems.

Those “solutions” are bound to be strictly incremental and reformist, otherwise the self-serving nature of the overall trajectory becomes blatantly obvious. Confrontation with the flaws of the “solutions” triggers an emotional response: A clear indication that the criticism points to the obvious flaws of the system itself, which in turn resonates as a criticism against the self. The emotional burst and the denial to recognize the system for what it is are indications of pathological adhesion to abusive power. This is the condition that forces many American people to prop up the capitalist hierarchy and continue to prove their allegiance to it.

The real solution must involve a structural change. The feudal hierarchy which structurally imposes extortion schemes of money and violence on people by domesticating their humanity, to be harvested over and over within the capitalist framework, is inhumane and destructive to our species. Such an idea must not be brushed aside as untenable idealism if we are to live harmoniously with one another and with our environment.

In the vastness of space and unimaginable span of geological time, our presence is small: smaller than a spec of dust on a whole planet. As conscious beings, we have created narratives and theories to explain what it means to be in this mysterious sea of matter and time. Such ideas are central to our social organization as well as how we relate ourselves to it. They very much affect how we perceive things as individuals and as collectives. Those ideas can take the shape of religion, history, ideology, tradition, myth and so on, constituting parts of the individual psyche as well as the collective psyche.

Those ideas are supposed to be promoted and perpetuated by the community members because they serve them by validating the given social order which serves their best interests. They are supposed to give us ways to reconcile with the unknown in collective manners, by which we find ways to accept the mystery of life with reverence and awe.

But do they?

As we are born into the social order, where those ideas are reinforced and physically manifest as social framework, we internalize those ideas, we become a part of the social mechanism and the ideas become “reality”.

Beyond Parody: CNN Warns Conservatives Are Seeking to 'Discredit' Facebook & Big Tech Ahead Of Election

Big Tech seizing control of our entire election apparatus, banning right-wing dissidents en masse, rigging search results, giving billions-worth of in-kind contributions to Democrats and tens of millions directly to get-out-the-vote campaigns in Democratic strongholds, and censoring news stories to protect Joe Biden and help defeat Donald Trump is nothing to worry about – the real threat is conservatives complaining about it online!

CNN's Brian Fung wrote an article on Sunday titled, "Conservatives push to discredit Facebook, Twitter and Google just days before the election."

Here's how the piece opens:

What began as complaints about anti-conservative censorship by social media companies has now evolved into outright allegations of election interference, as high-ranking Republicans have accused online platforms of helping Democrats by way of their content moderation decisions. On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee is set to grill the CEOs of Facebook, Google and Twitter amid right-wing cries of partisanship and threats to change a critical law, known as Section 230, that protects the companies' ability to moderate content as they see fit.

Outside experts have found little evidence to support claims of widespread, systematic political bias in Silicon Valley's technology. But the conservative allegations are an explosive charge and a dramatic escalation ahead of Election Day.

Big Tech's censorship doesn't exist but conservatives complaints about the non-existent censorship are "explosive!"

Fung makes no mention of Facebook and Twitter censoring the New York Post's exposé of Joe and Hunter Biden's shady dealings in Ukraine and China and banned people for sharing it (the NY Post's Twitter is still locked).

He also makes no mention of the fact(s):

- Twitter and Facebook boosted the story of Rudy Giuliani supposedly touching his junk sexually to millions only to turn around days later and censor everyone for sharing (censored) footage of Hunter Biden's crack-smoking sexcapades.

- Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are banning dissidents en masse under the guise of "fighting hate" or "misinformation."

- CNN personally lobbied Facebook and Twitter to ban Alex Jones and many others who are their competitors and critics.

- YouTube has boasted about banning tens of thousands of dissident channels, including all the most popular right-wing personalities who helped Trump win in 2016.

- Google rewrote all their search algorithms and hired a 10,000-strong "army" of flaggers to blacklist all independent media while boosting propaganda mills like CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post above all others.

- Facebook and YouTube have declared entire topics off-limits for discussion.

Instead Fung writes that, "Independent studies of social media have found little credible evidence to suggest that the technology is biased against right-wing viewpoints" and claims "the platforms themselves have gone out of their way to help conservatives"!

Propaganda this ridiculous would make Pravda blush!

Hillary Clinton: 'I Have No Doubt' I Would Have Handled COVID Better Than Trump

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she has “no doubt” she would have handled the coronavirus pandemic better than President Donald Trump has. She even boasted, “I was born for that.”

“You noted that a lot of countries that did best in the pandemic were led by women,” Kara Swisher, host of The New York Times‘ podcast “Sway,” said in an interview with Clinton. “Do you think a woman president in the United States would handle the pandemic better?”

“I have no doubt, especially if it were me,” Clinton responded. Swisher laughed.

“No, I mean, I was born for that. I mean, that’s why I knew I’d be a good president,” the former secretary of State continued. “I was ready for crises and emergencies and I would have done what you see these women leaders doing: you listen to the science; you bring in people in an open, inclusive way; you communicate constantly; you make the case by explaining why what you’re doing is in the long-term interest not only of health but also the economy.”

“Yeah, I have no doubt in my mind at all that I would have stepped up to that crisis,” Hillary Clinton repeated.

Contrary to the legacy media narrative, President Trump’s policy record on the pandemic is rather solid. He restricted travel from China early on, he created private-public partnerships to fast-track medical resources, and he launched Operation Warp Speed, which aims to produce and distribute a vaccine in record time.

If successful, Operation Warp Speed may rank as one of the most impressive achievements in American — and perhaps even human — history. While the wait for a vaccine seems long, vaccines simply do not move this fast. Vaccines usually take at least 5 years, and most frequently quite longer than that.

Hillary Clinton does not have a record on COVID-19, but she has endorsed Joe Biden. During the vice-presidential debate, Vice President Mike Pence excoriated Biden’s record on COVID-19. Pence noted that Biden initially opposed the China travel ban, that Biden effectively plagiarized Trump’s policy response to the pandemic, and that the Obama-Biden administration (which Clinton joined) did not have a stellar record of success on pandemics.

“We actually do know what failure looks like in a pandemic,” Pence argued. He mentioned the 2009 swine flu pandemic. “Before the end of the year, when Joe Biden was vice president of the United States, not 7.5 million people contracted the swine flu, 60 million Americans contracted the swine flu. If the swine flu had been as lethal as the coronavirus in 2009 when Joe Biden was vice president, we would have lost 2 million American lives.” Pence quoted Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, who admitted it was the result of “luck” that more people didn’t die because they did “every possible thing wrong.”

Hillary Clinton also made news for remarks on COVID-19 back in April, when she decided to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden. She urged Biden not to let the coronavirus crisis go to “waste,” hoping he would capitalize on it by guaranteeing abortion and pushing America in the direction of “universal health care” a.k.a. socialized medicine. Clinton ran against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Castro-was-great) in 2016 opposing Sanders’ Medicare for All socialized medicine plan, but it appears she has changed her tune — and Biden was chomping at the bit to agree with her.

COVID-19 Roadmap: 12 Step Plan To Create A Totalitarian “New World Order” – We’re On Number 8, Headed Towards Number 9!

One can step back from all the MK Ultra mind control through the propaganda of the mainstream media and lying politicians and clearly see that the CON-vid hysteria is the invisible enemy tyrants are using to push forward both the United Nations’ Agenda 21 and advance toward Agenda 2030. Below is ann infographic that provides the 12 step plan of using a virtually unproven “virus” to bring about the New World Order, and it’s right on schedule unless the people stop it.

Currently, we are on step 8 and moving quickly towards step 9.

After step 9, all bets are off because by that time, most small businesses will be out of business due to unlawful lockdowns, and the only businesses open with be giant online corporations who are making a killing from the lockdown even now.

Already we are told there are “coin shortages” and many stores are demanding payments by card rather than cash unless you have the correct amount.

Seriously, the above roadmap seems to be right on track with what we are seeing advance our way.

It’s time the people awoke from their slumber, turned off the television, quit believing the narrative of the “right/left” paradigm and start shutting down tyrants and defending liberty!

Merck Partners With Drone Startup Volansi For Vaccine Delivery

Volansi has partnered with Big Pharma Merck to launch a test program in rural North Carolina to examine their ability to deliver temperature-controlled vaccines from a central production facility to determine how far they can send them, Cheddar reported.

“Once vaccines are developed and are out there, distribution will be a key challenge,” CEO Hannan Parvizian told Cheddar. “We truly believe that autonomous aerial deliveries will enable access to all areas, both in high-infrastructure countries like here in the U.S. and also in other low-infrastructure countries in emerging markets like Africa and other places in the world.”

The drone is limited at sending packages that weigh 10-pounds, but the company says it can cover at least 50 miles in just a single run.

It has a 10-pound payload capacity and can cover a 50-mile radius on a single trip,” Parvizian said. “That allows us to carry not only a significant amount of payload but also the cargo box that is required to maintain the temperature of the payload throughout the mission.”

“That’s how we will be ramping up, starting out with more rural areas and eventually moving into much more densely populated areas,” Parvizian said.

Parvizian added that the drones are able to deliver around 80 percent of all drugs and medical supplies, including blood donations.

There are probably some specialty items that are heavier or require much more care or not compatible with this type of delivery, but right now we’re not seeing any sort of big limitations on the types of payloads we can transport,” he said.

Parvizian further said Volansi differs from its competitors in that all drones use vertical take-off and landing as opposed to a catapult launcher.

“That means we don’t require any sort of ground infrastructure for launch and recovery of our vehicles,” he said.

Profit outside the rigged system! Protect yourself from tyranny and economic collapse. Learn to live free and spread peace!

Pay no attention to automation taking yet another job from you humans. At this point it’s beating a dead horse, but Activist Post has warned you how automation would increase due to the ongoing pandemic.

A recent report by A3, Association For Advancing Automation earlier this year, further details all the ways that artificial intelligence and automation is being used in different industries to combat the coronavirus.

Last year, robots took a record number of jobs in the U.S. according to Robotic Industries Association (RIA) as Activist Post reported. Now, with the impetus of the coronavirus the number of jobs occupied by robots could multiply quite rapidly. Oxford Economics also published its own report warning that accelerating technological advances in automation, engineering, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have the potential to reshape the world in 2020 through 2030s, displacing at least 20 million workers.

With the coronavirus as a catalyst to speed up the deployment of automated machines, we can probably safely say that number will be much more severe. It seems I am not the only one to share that opinion; a recent MarketWatch article written by Johannes Moenius, a professor of global business and the director of the Institute for Spatial Economic Analysis at the University of Redlands, agrees with this author’s conclusion stating “at least 50 million jobs could be automated in just essential industries.”

In fact, the Brookings Institution said in a report last month that “any coronavirus-related recession is likely to bring about a spike in labor-replacing automation … Automation happens in bursts, concentrated especially in bad times such as in the wake of economic shocks, when humans become relatively more expensive as firms’ revenues rapidly decline.”
