Former Malaysian PM: "Muslims Have A Right To Be Angry And Kill Millions Of French People"
Update (1130ET): Twitter says part of the thread from Mohamad violates its rules on glorifying violence.. no shit!

As Summit News' Paul Joseph Watson reported earlier, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia reacted to a series of Islamic terror attacks in France by tweeting, “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.”
Yes, really.
Three people were killed and several injured near a church in the Notre-Dame area of Nice this morning, including one 70-year-old woman who was decapitated. The culprit was a jihadist who yelled “Allahu Akbar” throughout the attack.
Meanwhile, in Avignon, a man wielding a knife while also shouting “Allahu Akbar” was shot dead after trying to attack police officers who were patrolling the street.
In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a French guard at the French consulate was also wounded by an attacker.
The attacks followed the beheading of school teacher Samuel Paty in Paris earlier this month by a Chechen jihadist who sought revenge for Paty showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to pupils in his class.
Mahathir bin Mohamad, who served twice as the Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981 to 2003, and again from 2018 to 2020, reacted to the attacks by suggesting that they were completely justified because of France’s colonial past.
“Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past,” tweeted Mohamad.

Knifeman beheaded TWO victims in church terrorist attack, Nice first deputy mayor tells RT
A knife-wielding attacker beheaded two of the three victims at the Notre Dame church in the center of the French resort city of Nice, First Deputy Mayor Anthony Borré told RT France.
Shocking media reports on Thursday morning indicated that one of the churchgoers was beheaded, but the deputy mayor of Nice confirmed to RT France by phone that the reality turned out to be even grimmer.
“The assailant beheaded a woman and then a man who was working at the church,” Borré said. He added that the third person managed to flee outside (French media reported it was a woman), but her wounds were too severe and she passed away later.
Those who died are victims of “Islamic barbarism,” as the attacker shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ several times, the deputy mayor said.
The perpetrator, who is yet to be officially identified, was injured by police and arrested. “He’s alive, but seriously wounded.”
The authorities are now working to establish if the attacker had any accomplices. “There are 3,000 CCTV cameras in Nice… We’re eager to find anybody who could be associated with this terrorist act,” Borré said.
The incident resulted in the French authorities putting the whole nation on high alert.
The beheadings in Nice were followed by an alleged knife attack on police officers in the city of Avignon, in which the assailant was gunned down.

Newsweek Stumps For Biden With Misleading Poll Headline
Emerson Polling just came out with their October National Poll, which concludes that Joe Biden has a five-point lead over President Trump
One of the questions asked was "Who do you think is more of a patriot, Joe Biden or Donald Trump?" The results revealed that 51.9% of respondents picked Biden vs. 48.1% for Trump, a difference of 3.8%.
Newsweek - the beleaguered outlet that was raided by the IRS in 2018 in a fraud probe for which a former owner pleaded guilty, and subsequently fired dozens of editors, has taken to stumping for Joe Biden with a very misleading headline about the aforementioned Emerson poll (the latest in our 'misleading poll' coverage this election cycle).
So in a poll that oversampled Democrats, more of people think Trump will win the election, and Newsweek's headline was completely misleading just days from the election.

More Fauci Warnings: Expect “A Whole Lot Of Pain” This Winter
As the elitists continue to roll out their New World Order agenda, Dr. Anothny Fauci keeps talking about how much “pain” the public is going to go through this winter due to this scamdemic. Fauci continues to talk about bad and dark this winter will get, so expect these elitists to pull off something sinister.
“If things do not change, if they continue on the course we’re on, there’s gonna be a whole lot of pain in this country with regard to additional cases and hospitalizations, and deaths,” Fauci said in an interview Wednesday evening on “The News with Shepard Smith.”
In an interview on Wednesday with CNBC, Fauci said that the United States is “going in the wrong direction” as coronavirus cases allegedly rise in 47 states and infected patients overwhelm hospitals across the country. It certainly feels like these people are going to make life difficult soon.
“They never had the kind of hospital and intensive care facility and flexibility that some of the larger hospitals in larger cities have,” said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “They’re concerned that if the trajectory continues, they may be in a position where they are going to be strapped for things like intensive care beds,” said Fauci.
The people who think they have power over everyone continue to talk of a “dark winter.” They will probably attempt to pull off another lockdown. It is now up to the public what we will accept. We also implore all military and law enforcement to take a long hard look at what you are going to be asked to do:

Van Full Of Explosives Discovered In Philly On Third Night Of Rioting
Police in Philadelphia discovered a van packed with explosives and other “suspicious equipment” as a third night of rioting and looting gripped the city on Wednesday.
ABC 6 reported that “police recovered propane tanks, torches and possible dynamite sticks from the van.”
The report adds that “The bomb squad is on the scene at this hour.”
The development comes after President Trump claimed police were told to “stand back” and not stop looting and rioting.
“People are breaking into stores and walking out with washing machines and walking out with all sorts of things and it shouldn’t be allowed,” Trump noted, adding “The police were told to stand back, and maybe that’s not so but that’s what I was told upon very good authority.”
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney blasted the crime wave Wednesday, noting that “The looting that has taken place is distressing.”
“It is clear that many of these folks are taking advantage of the situation, harming our businesses and communities, and doing a great disservice to those who want to protest the death of Walter Wallace, Jr.,” Kenney added.
“We cannot allow others to destroy property. I have requested the assistance of the PA National Guard. Their role will be to safeguard property, prevent looting, and provide operational and logistical assistance to @PhillyPolice and other departments,” Kenny also announced.

ECB's Christine Lagarde Explain How She'll Save The World Again (If Needed)
ECB President Christine Lagarde and her colleagues are walking a fine line as they likely believe they can get away with holding steady for now; but in the face of resurging COVID and re-lockdowns, she will need to send a strong signal that more stimulus is coming… "whatever it takes."
“I don’t think the Governing Council is ready” to agree new measures, said Florian Hense, an economist at Berenberg.
“Maybe we’ll hear more clearly that something is coming.”
The statement confirmed the "more to come" narrative:
On the basis of this updated assessment, the Governing Council will recalibrate its instruments, as appropriate, to respond to the unfolding situation and to ensure that financing conditions remain favourable to support the economic recovery and counteract the negative impact of the pandemic on the projected inflation path.

UK’s Labour suspends former leader Jeremy Corbyn after anti-Semitism report
The British Labour Party suspended its former leader Jeremy Corbyn on Thursday after he refused to accept all findings in a report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on anti-Semitism within the party.
Corbyn vowed to contest “the political intervention” against him.
“In light of his comments made today and his failure to retract them subsequently, the Labour Party has suspended Jeremy Corbyn pending investigation,” the party said in a statement. It also removed the whip from Corbyn, and he will no longer be able to take part in House of Commons votes as a Labour lawmaker.
Under Corbyn, Labour saw complaints of anti-Semitism within its ranks and the leadership was criticized for their lack of response.
Following the party’s move on Thursday, Corbyn tweeted he “will strongly contest the political intervention” to suspend him. “I’ve made absolutely clear those who deny there has been an antisemitism problem in the Labour Party are wrong.” He also promised to “continue to support a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of racism.”
The EHRC report found Labour responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination over anti-Semitism. In his initial reaction, Corbyn rejected the overall conclusions, saying that the anti-Semitism problem within the party was “dramatically overstated for political reasons.” The politician also said in a Facebook post that he had been obstructed by party officials in trying to tackle the issue, but expressed regret that “it took longer to deliver that change than it should.”
The EHRC’s lead investigator, Alasdair Henderson, said that as the leader of the party, Corbyn “is ultimately accountable and responsible for what happened at that time.”
Keir Starmer, who replaced Corbyn as Labour leader in April, said he accepted the EHRC report “in full” and the party was facing a “day of shame” over the failings revealed.
“Under my leadership, we will have zero tolerance of anti-Semitism,” Starmer added.

In Unprecedented Cost-Cutting, Exxon Is Firing 15% Of Its Workers To Keep Dividend
It may sound unbelievable that just seven years ago Exxon was the world's largest company.
Of course, all that changed with the advent of the FAAMGs and the Fed blowing the biggest tech bubble in history which together with the plunge in the price of oil, meant the market cap of Exxon has tumbled to just $136BN, below that of Zoom. Yes, we have gotten to the point in the bubble where a video chat with no barriers to entry, zero infrastructure and barely any profit is more valuable than a company that has invested tens of billions of dollars in creating the world's biggest oil exploration and production infrastructure.
In an attempt to recover some of its former glory, last night Exxon announced that it would be keeping its precious 87 cent/share dividend, which many had expected would be cut amid the ongoing devastation in the oil sector. Keeping the dividend, however, meant that Exxon would have to trim fat and/or muscle elsewhere, and on Thursday Exxon unveiled the latest unprecedented cost-cutting measure when it said it slash its global workforce by a record 15% over the next two years, an unprecedented culling by North America’s biggest oil explorer as it struggles to preserve dividends. According to Bloomberg, the cuts include 1,900 U.S. jobs, mostly in Houston, as well as an undisclosed number of positions around the world.
"These actions will improve the company’s long-term cost competitiveness and ensure the company manages through the current unprecedented market conditions," the company said in a statement on Thursday.
Exxon spokesman Case Norton told Bloomberg that total reductions will affect about 14,000 people, split between employees and contractors. The figure includes the U.S. job cuts, as well as layoffs and retirements previously announced in Europe and Australia, and future reductions in Canada and elsewhere.
Exxon is not alone in picking dividends over workers, with other Big Oil giants also cutting thousands of jobs in response to the pandemic-induced demand slump. BP plans to slash 10,000 jobs, Royal Dutch Shell Plc will cut as many as 9,000 roles and Chevron Corp. has announced around 6,000 reductions.
Ironically, Exxon’s move is smaller both in absolute terms and as a proportion of its larger workforce, which stood at 74,900 people as of Dec. 31, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. However, as Bloomberg notes, "the fact that it’s cutting at all is a sign of its weakened financial position compared to its former status as the S&P 500 Index’s biggest company less than a decade ago and a profit powerhouse used to riding out oil-price cycles."
This year’s downturn has been particularly painful because it affected refining, usually a cushion in times of low oil prices, and because it came at a time when Exxon was already increasing borrowing to fund a large expansion program. The company was forced to retreat on these plans in April, reducing capital spending by $10 billion and delaying or scaling back most of major projects.
The stock has plunged 54% this year, making it less valuable than Zoom as noted above. A chart showing the ridiculous price/book ratio of the two companies is shown below.

"This Was A Terrible Mistake": Apollo's Black Regrets Giving Epstein A "Second Chance"
In the aftermath of the widespread blowback amid Apollo clients, many of whom have frozen their new capital allocations to the private equity giant in response to recent reports that co-founder Leon Black had paid "suicided" pedophile Jeffrey Epstein $50 million after he was released from jail, during a conference call on Thursday morning discussing Apollo’s third-quarter results, Black said he regretted doing business with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, even though other prominent people had done the same.
"Like many people I respected, I decided to give Epstein a second chance," Black said Thursday during a conference call to discuss Apollo’s third-quarter results.
"This was a terrible mistake", the former Drexel banker added pointing out the obvious, although it still remains unclear just what "second chance" services Epstein provided to Black that was worth a whopping $50 million in compensation, but we are confident we will find out soon enough.
And in what may be the greatest example of "whataboutism" in modern history, Black said that Epstein worked with many prominent individuals after he was released from jail, and that "the distinguished reputations of these individuals gave me misplaced comfort."
In other words, if everyone is going to "picnics" on Epstein's underage girl island in their private jets, it's all cool.
Laughably, Black - who is surrounded by the most brilliant financial minds of his generation 24/7 - has said he sought advice from Epstein for matters such as taxes, estate planning and philanthropy.
Apollo hired law firm Dechert LLP to conduct a review that’s expected to take 60 to 90 days, according to people familiar with the matter.
That said, we doubt their reputations will be just as "distinguished" once it emerges just what "services" underage girls Epstein was providing them.
Also on the call we learned that despite the posturing, Apollo's clients were not really turned off by the ongoing scandal, and the PE giant raised another $4 billion in the third quarter even though it expects fundraising to slow, co-founder Joshua Harris said on the call.

This Explains the Surging Numbers: Whistleblower Says El Paso Ambulances Are Bringing COVID-19 Patients from Juarez to US Hospitals
This is one way to up the COVID-19 numbers…
A whistleblower in El Paso, Texas told FOX 14 reporters that local firefighters are making several trips a day to the border with Juarez and bringing sick Mexicans to US hospitals in El Paso.
The whistleblower said some days it’s only 3 or 4 trips to the border but on other days the firefighters make 13 to 14 trips to the border to bring the COVID patients to US hospitals.
And, it goes without saying, US taxpayers are covering the costs.
ABC News reported on the situation in El Paso without mentioning the obvious — that dozens of patients are from Juarez, Mexico.
KFOXTV reported:
El Paso is making international headlines for the COVID-19 outbreak.
As emergency responders are being recognized across the nation, El Paso’s first responders may be facing more danger from COVID-19 than anyone else.
El Paso firefighters in the trenches of the COVID-19 pandemic, cannot talk on the record about the number of people they are picking up every day from El Paso’s international bridges.
But a whistleblower inside the fire department spoke to KFOX14 exclusively on condition of anonymity.
“There’s somedays where it’s only three or four times and other days when it will be 13 or 14 responses. You’ll be there for one patient and [CBP] customs will let you know, hey there’s another one right behind them and another one sometime there are four or five waiting in line,” said the anonymous source.
As a result of what appear to be escalating ambulance responses at the international bridges by the El Paso Fire Department, KFOX14’s source insists the city of El Paso is being left in a dangerously vulnerable position.
KFOX14 anchor Erika Castillo was at the Stanton Bridge in downtown El Paso when a firetruck picked up a person from Ciudad Juarez and crossed back to El Paso to send the person to the nearest hospital.

Cop Who Allegedly Beat, Starved, Froze 8yo Boy to Death, Allowed to Resign to ‘Protect His Pension’
New York, NY — The death of 8-year-old Thomas Valva shocked the nation earlier this year when it was discovered his New York cop father was alleged to have beat him and starved him before throwing him into an unheated garage where he froze to death. As the investigation unfolded, we learned that authorities were warned by multiple people on multiple occasions that NYPD officer Michael Valva was horrifically abusing his children, and, in a disgusting display of blue privilege, no one acted. In fact, the only actions taken were against the mother, and helped Valva continue the abuse.
Now, this officer’s blue privilege is being exposed once again as he was quietly allowed to resign this week — to protect his pension.
“He voluntarily resigned today,” Valva’s attorney John LoTurco said. “He executed paperwork in that regard today, which protects his benefits and his pension. There’s no admission of any wrongdoing. It allows him to forgo any disciplinary hearing and in exchange, he will no longer receive any salary or any future benefits.”
As we reported at the time, 8-year-old Thomas died of hypothermia on January 17 after he was allegedly starved, beaten and locked outside overnight by his NYPD officer father. Valva allegedly washed the body of his autistic child in an attempt to warm the corpse, then lied to cops by claiming the boy fell in the driveway. On Jan. 24, Valva and his fiancee Angela Pollina were arrested and charged with murder.
After their arrests, we found out that Justyna Zukbo-Valva, Thomas’ mother, had filed multiple complaints — with physical evidence — alleging the abuse. Instead of helping her authorities simply looked the other way. Not only was she never given help, Zukbo-Valva was treated like she was the abuser and lost custody as the true monster continued his horrifying treatment of his children.
According to the NY Daily News, who received the documents from Zukbo-Valva, after losing custody, this mother feared for the safety of her children, fought to save them, and was ignored and punished until Thomas was tortured to death.

Wisconsin GOP says hackers stole $2.3 million from its coffers just days before the election; FBI is investigating
Interesting timing
Officials with the Wisconsin Republican Party told the Associated Press on Thursday that hackers broke into the party's coffers and stole $2.3 million designated for promoting the re-election of President Donald Trump.
According to the AP, GOP officials discovered the hack on Oct. 22 and called the FBI on Friday.
Wisconsin Party Chairman Andrew Hitt told the outlet that the FBI has launched an investigation into the theft. The AP said the FBI has yet to respond to inquiries about the alleged theft.
The timing of the hack comes as the Trump campaign is attempting to ward off the efforts of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and repeat its surprise victory of 2016.
The Badger State has been seen during the entire 2020 election cycle as a key battleground state after Trump beat Hillary Clinton there in 2016 after she infamously took the state for granted and barely campaigned there. Trump took the state by only 23,000 votes.
How did this happen?
Hitt told the AP that the hackers were able to steal the funds by altering vendor invoices.
From the AP:
Hitt said the hackers manipulated invoices from four vendors who were being paid for direct mail for Trump's reelection efforts as well as for pro-Trump material such as hats to be handed out to supporters. Invoices and other documents were altered so when the party paid them for the services rendered, the money went to the hackers instead of the vendors, Hitt said.
The hack was discovered after someone noticed that an invoice was generated that should not have been, he said.
How is the race going in Wisconsin?
Polls in the state have varied wildly over the last week.
For example, a Washington Post/ABC News poll reported Wednesday showed Biden with a 17-point lead over Trump, 57% to 40%. The poll was conducted Oct. 20-25.
However, a new Trafalgar Group poll conducted Oct. 24-25 showed Biden with lead of less than half a point, 47.5% to 47.1%
According to RealClearPolitics' average of polls, Biden currently leads Trump by an average of 6.4 percentage points.
The RealClearPolitics site shows that on this date (Oct. 29) four years ago, Hillary Clinton led Donald Trump by an average of 6.2 points. She had a 6.5-point lead going into Election Day.

Gov. Cuomo: I’m Holding Trump ‘Responsible for Every’ Coronavirus Death in This Country
Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump was responsible for “every death” in the country from the coronavirus pandemic.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Coronavirus is now the third leading cause of death in America, and you say, and rightfully so I think, but I’m going to ask you, you’re holding you-know-who responsible for every death in New York from COVID. I’m going to say to you. Why?”
Cuomo said, “I’m holding you-know-who responsible for every death in this country. First, Whoopi, because he lied about it. He lied about it from day one. They had that memo in January from a person named Peter Navarro saying millions are going to die. They lied about it, and they knew that millions were going to get infected and that hundreds of thousands were going to die. That’s the first reason. The Old Book says, don’t lie, right?”
He continued, “Second, they were totally incompetent in what they did. He keeps talking about the China-virus, China-virus, China-virus, trying to demonize China. The virus did not come here from China. The virus came here from Europe because he wasn’t paying attention, and the virus left China, went to Europe. January, February, March, we had 3 million people coming in from Europe. Italy, France, Spain. That’s where the virus came from, and he never knew that, and he never said it. No, this is all on his doorstep, and it still is, and the most obnoxious — you know that 110,000 people more are going to die because you won’t wear a mask, and your own neurosis keeps you from wearing a mask? All of your advisers say at least tell the American people to protect themselves. Wear a mask, and you refuse? I mean, how? How crazy.”

Gov. Cuomo: Criticism of New York Nursing Home Deaths a ‘Conspiracy’
Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that New York State’s more than 6,000 nursing home deaths allegedly caused by his order to put patients infected with coronavirus back in facilities was a conspiracy theory.
Co-host Sunny Hostin asked, “There has been a lot of confusion about an alleged March 25th order that directed nursing homes to accept in New York, infected COVID patients, possibly leading to the death of more than 6,000 seniors. Now you say in your book that that was a lie, that New York state never demanded or directed that any nursing home accept a COVID positive patient. The Department of Justice however is now supposedly looking into this issue. Can you explain what really happened?”
Cuomo said, “What a shock that the ‘Department of Injustice’ sends a letter a few days before an election trying to advance a political theory. I was shocked and amazed that the Trump administration was capable of such a thing. Sunny, they have played politics on this from day one, right? They have done a terrible job on Covid from day one, and they want a counter defense and what they were saying was, well, a lot of people died in nursing homes in Democratic states. It’s not just New York it’s all the Democratic states. The truth is a lot of people did die in nursing homes in Democratic states. The truth is people are dying today in nursing homes in Republican states. It’s just that Democratic states had the disease worse and earlier, and older people are more vulnerable to Covid, right? We were introduced to covid in the state of Washington in a nursing home.”
He continued, “If you look at how many people died in New York nursing homes, New York is number 46 out of 50 states in the percentage of deaths in nursing homes. The way the law works is no nursing home in New York can accept a patient if they don’t believe they can care for that patient adequately, and if they can do it within the safety of their facility.”
He added, “So the conspiracy they’re trying to spread just has no factual basis. But yes, people in nursing homes died, and they’re playing politics with the issue, which I think is especially cruel because people who lost loved ones in a nursing home, they’re dealing with it, and now they also have to deal with the confusion or the pain of maybe government did this.”

Epstein ex admits bringing him women, buying victim schoolgirl outfit
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriends has admitted bringing three women to the now-deceased pedophile — as well as shopping for a “little schoolgirl outfit” for one of his teen victims.
Jersey City-based artist Rina Oh, 41, spoke for the first time about accusations that she joined her ex in abusing women after being tracked down by the podcast “Broken: Seeking Justice” — a charge she denied.
As well as life with the late pedophile, she spoke about being married to Vincent Amen — a former Michael Jackson employee who was named as one of five unindicted co-conspirators in the late star’s molestation trial.
Oh said Epstein was her “older, rich boyfriend” in the early 2000s — albeit one who constantly pestered her to bring other women to his Upper East Side mansion.
She said she was not concerned when he made her take then-17-year-old Virginia Roberts Giuffre shopping with a twisted request.
“I was just called and told, ‘Can you take Virginia shopping for a little schoolgirl outfit. You will know where to go — take her there,'” she recalled Epstein saying, leading to a trip to an East Village store on St. Mark’s Place.
“I wasn’t asking any questions. I just did as I was told. And you don’t ask questions … that’s rude,” she said of “dealing with a billionaire.”
It did not concern her, she said, because “17 to me is not a child.”
“Seventeen is a minor — 17 is not a child. And 17 is of legal age in New York state … in most states, 17 is legal,” said the artist, whose artwork largely consists of paintings inspired by Epstein.
She later changed her mind, however, after what the podcast called an “increasingly tense” interview.
“I think it’s disgusting seeing 40-year-old men with 20-year-olds. They’re children,” she said later. “I think it’s disgusting and I’m so traumatized.”

Twitter Warns Breitbart Reporter over Violating Pakistani Law with Mohammed Cartoons
Twitter has informed a Breitbart News Network reporter that the social network had received a “request from Pakistan” regarding two tweets related to Charlie Hebdo cartoons which allegedly “violates the law(s) of Pakistan”, advising the journalist to “take appropriate action to protect your interests”.
Europe Correspondent Chris Tomlinson had received a message addressed from Twitter Legal which alerted him that, “in the interest of transparency, we are writing to inform you that Twitter has received a request from Pakistan regarding your Twitter account” which “claims the following content violates the law(s) of Pakistan”.
The first tweet was of a video showing Charlie Hebdo cartoons including the Muslim prophet, Mohammed, being projected onto a government building in Montpellier, France. The second was a link to the Breitbart London article from October 21st detailing the incident.
The projections were made in response to the murder by a Chechen Islamist of French teacher Samuel Paty, who had shown cartoons of Mohammed during a freedom of expression lesson earlier this month. French President Emmanuel Macron’s insistence on defending secular values, including freedom of speech, has resulted in protests around the Islamic world, including Pakistan.
The social media giant continued in its correspondence with the Breitbart reporter that “we have not taken any action on the reported content at this time as a result of this request.”
The notice continued: “As Twitter strongly believes in defending and respecting the voice of our users, it is our policy to notify our users if we receive a legal request from an authorized entity (such as law enforcement or a government agency) to remove content from their account. We provide notice whether or not the user lives in the country where the request originated.”
“We understand that receiving this type of notice can be an unsettling experience. While Twitter is not able to provide legal advice, we want you to have an opportunity to evaluate the request and, if you wish, take appropriate action to protect your interests.
“This may include seeking legal counsel and challenging the request in court, contacting relevant civil society organizations, voluntarily deleting the content (if applicable), or finding some other resolution,” said the message.
Others have reportedly received similar notices from Twitter of Pakistan’s request after sharing content related to cartoons of the Islamic prophet, including journalist Andy Ngo and conservative commentator Michelle Malkin.

Bokhari: Anna Makanju of Facebook and Atlantic Council Is Tied to Ukraine, Biden, Burisma
Last week, Breitbart News reported on Anna Makanju, Facebook’s global policy manager for content regulation, who advised Joe Biden on Ukraine policy during his time as vice president. But Makanju — and Facebook’s — connections to not only Ukraine, but the energy giant Burisma, go even deeper than that.
Testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed ignorance, telling Sen. John Thune (R-SD he wasn’t aware that Makanju, a senior employee in his content regulation apparatus was a former top Biden adviser.
As a policy manager for content regulation, Makanju was in a position to influence Facebook’s decision to censor the New York Post’s bombshell reporting about the Biden family’s ties to Ukraine and Burisma. The conflict of interest is clear: Makanju is herself intimately involved in the same web that connects Burisma, Ukraine, the Bidens, and Facebook.
One of Facebook’s most consequential partnerships is with the Atlantic Council, a highly influential foreign policy think tank that the tech giant partnered with in 2018 to “monitor for misinformation” and “protect free and fair elections across the world.” Makanju, in addition to her work for Facebook, is a senior fellow with the organization.
The Atlantic Council — which is tied to Burisma.
The think tank signed a cooperative agreement with the Ukrainian company in 2017, while Hunter Biden was still on the company’s board. The Atlantic Council and Burisma would go on to organize international energy conferences together, one of which featured Hunter Biden as a speaker.
As of 2019, Burisma had given more than $450,000 in donations to the Atlantic Council.
In 2016, before the donations started, the think tank harshly criticized Ukrainian oligarchs over corruption, including Burisma Holdings owner Mykola Zlochevsky. In the words of one Atlantic Council report, Zlochevsky hired “trophy foreigners” like Hunter Biden to help bolster his company’s reputation, while engaging in financial and political corruption.
Just a year later, the Atlantic Council partnered with the same company whose owner it had previously condemned as corrupt.
And a year after that, it partnered with Facebook to fight “misinformation” and defend “free and fair elections.” Its senior fellow, Makanju, works for Facebook in the same area — regulating content and controlling “misinformation.”
Makanju was so close of an adviser to Biden on Ukraine policy that she was on the former Vice President’s now-infamous phonecalls with President Poroshenko, and later argued that transcripts of the calls shouldn’t be released to the public.
So, to recap:

‘Disgusted’: Want To Know Why Media Isn’t Covering Hunter Biden? Glenn Greenwald Has A Theory
Award-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald joined the “Joe Rogan Experience” to explain why he thinks most American media institutions will not cover the Hunter Biden scandal.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been disgusted with my colleagues in my profession as I have been in the last three weeks because of this story,” Greenwald told Rogan in the episode released Wednesday. “In general, journalists do not care about where material comes from if it’s A, authentic, and B, newsworthy.”
The Intercept co-founder went on to cite an incident in 2016 where the New York Times received a copy of then-candidate Donald Trump’s tax returns in the mail from an unknown source. Greenwald noted that to this day the Times is unaware of the identity, or motives, of the source.
“And when asked when their lead reporter who has won two Pulitzers was asked by NPR, how can you report on a document when you don’t even know who gave it to you or what their motives were? He said what I would say and what all journalists should say, which is I don’t give a shit about the source’s motives,” Greenwald said.
“Sometimes you get great documents from sources who have terrible motives,” He continued. “Like Deep Throat leaked about the Nixon administration to The Washington Post, not because he was a Snowden, not because he was noble, but because he was resentful that Nixon passed him over to be the director of the FBI.”
He claimed the argument that the revelations from Hunter Biden’s laptop “might have come from Russia” was a “complete corruption of the journalistic function.” Greenwald added the real reason most news outlets won’t cover the story is because “they’re all desperate for Trump to lose.”
