Twitter Suspends US Border Chief For Touting Anti-Crime Southern Wall

One day after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted that the company needs 'more accountability' over its selective political bias, the social media giant suspended US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan for a post touting the southern border wall for helping the country 'stop gang members, murderers, sexual predators, and drugs from entering our country."

Morgan's account was locked on Wednesday afternoon for violating Twitter's "hateful conduct" rules, according to The Federalist.

"You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease," wrote Twitter in an email explaining the suspension. And as the Federalist notes "the commissioner did not threaten anyone based on race, national origin, or anything else"

"If you look at the tweet in question again," Morgan told The Federalist, "every mile helps us stop gang members, murderers, and pedophiles from entering our country. It’s just a fact."

Apple is quietly building a search rival to Google ahead of the DOJ’s landmark antitrust case, according to a report

www.businessinsider.com/apple-now-shows-its-own-search-results-threatening-google-ios14-2020-10

Users who downloaded iOS 14, the latest iPhone operating system, noticed that Apple now shows its own results when users search on their home screen. Clicking on links takes users directly to the website in question, rather than through another search engine.

This isn’t Apple’s first move into the world of search engines. In April 2018, the company hired John Giannandrea, who was formerly Google’s head of search and one of its most powerful people, to work on its AI services.

Google has described losing the Apple deal as a “code red” scenario, the DOJ lawsuit, filed October 20, claimed. The deal brings in around half of Google’s US site traffic, the DOJ said – and as much as 20% of Apple’s profit.

Former Marines charged in conspiracy to illegally manufacture, sell firearms

WASHINGTON — Two former Marines based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., were arrested for illegally making, transporting and selling firearms, including one who was investigated for white supremacist activities while in the service, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

Former Marines Liam Montgomery Collins, 21, and Jordan Duncan, 25, were arrested along with Paul James Kryscuk, 35, on federal charges Oct. 20 for “conspiracy to unlawfully manufacture, possess, and distribute various weapons, ammunition and suppressors,” according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

“The Marine Corps will continue to assist the investigating authorities in any way we can. The serious allegations are not a reflection of the Marine Corps, do not reflect the oath every Marine takes to support and defend the Constitution, and do not align with our core values of honor, courage and commitment,” Capt. Joseph Butterfield, a Marine Corps spokesman, said in a statement Wednesday.

Collins and Kryscuk are co-defendants who “used the conspiracy to enrich themselves and others by manufacturing and selling hard to obtain firearms and firearm parts in a manner that would hide these purchases from the federal government,” the Justice Department said. Duncan was aware of the illegal activity and participated in it, according to the release.

Collins made multiple money transfers to Kryscuk from May 2019 to the present to buy guns, including a 9mm pistol and suppressor and a short-barrel rifle, according to the Justice Department. Kryscuk then made the firearms and suppressors from parts that he bought from vendors. He also used an alias to mail the firearms and suppressor from Idaho, where he lived, to Jacksonville, N.C. Duncan resides in Boise, Idaho.

Kryscuk also mailed the short-barrel rifle to Collins without registering it with the federal government, which is required, according to the Justice Department.At the time, Collins was a lance corporal in the Marine Corps assigned to 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, at Camp Lejeune, according to the Marine Corps.

Collins served in the Marine Corps as a rifleman from Aug. 21, 2017, to Sept. 21, 2020, a shorter enlistment than the typical four-year term, according to his service record.

"We're Going To Make Sure Trump Leaves": Leftists Plan To Storm DC After Election

A far left group is vowing to “make sure Trump leaves” the White House after the election, even if he wins, with radicals preparing to storm and occupy DC.

The Shut Down DC group says it will “be in the streets before the polls even close,” asserting that “Trump will not leave office without mass mobilization and direct action.”

“On Election Day, when you’re done voting, doing election protection, or getting out the vote, come join us at Black Lives Matter Plaza,” states the group’s manifesto.

“We’re inviting everybody who agrees with these organizing principles to work together to make this uprising happen. We’re going to make sure Trump leaves.”

Quite how the group is going to make Trump leave the White House on election day is somewhat baffling, given that even if he loses he doesn’t have to officially leave office until next year.

The extremist group is planning to block highways, shut down ports and occupy state capitols if Trump “tries to steal the election” (ie wins it), while also vowing to harass members of Congress at their own homes.

“We’ll meet them at the train station or the airports or if they drive into town we can meet them at their homes,” states the group.

Bragging about how mobs of leftists protested outside Sen. Lindsay Graham’s (R-SC) house before sunrise, the organization is conducting “mass rebellion training” in the event of Trump attempting a “coup”.

If a right-wing group had published such a manifesto, it would be nationally demonized as a domestic terrorist outfit and face immediate federal investigation.

As it is, Shut Down DC’s call to arms has received virtually no mainstream media attention whatsoever.

Western Countries 'Attacking' Islam Want to 'Relaunch the Crusades', Says Erdogan

Turkey said earlier that diplomatic and legal action will be taken as a response to the caricature of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that was published by French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that western countries want to "relaunch the crusades" by attacking Islam. The comment was made as Erdogan addressed members of his AK Party in parliament.

"France - and Europe as a whole - does not deserve this provocative, dirty, hateful and divisive policy pursued by Macron and those who share his views", Erdogan said during his speech, after relations had worsened between Erdogan and his French counterpart this month.

According to the Turkish president, it was "a question of honour" for his country to take a stand against attacks on the Prophet Muhammad.

Erdogan and Macron at Loggerheads Over Islam & Charlie Hebdo Cartoons

The most recent spat between the French and Turkish presidents came after a teacher in Paris, Samuel Paty, was murdered for showing his pupils, during a class on freedom of speech, cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that were published in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2015. Paty was subsequently beheaded by an 18-year-old of Chechen descent, Abdoullakh Anzorov, in an act French President Emmanuel Macron described as an "Islamist terrorist attack".

Macron defended the teacher's action and called him a "quiet hero", despite the fact that it is considered blasphemous among Muslims to depict the Prophet Muhammad in such a way.

Macron then announced a plan to "reform Islam" and make it more compatible with republican values, adding that the religion of billions of Muslims in the world was "in crisis". Erdogan replied to the comments by suggesting the French president undergo "mental checks".

Disney Just Laid Off Thousands Of Additional Workers

It was less than a month ago that we reported Disney was laying off 28,000 employees as a result of continued economic pressure and lockdowns resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now, "thousands of cast members" - which include workers in Entertainment, Transportation, Merchandise, and Food & Beverage - are being hit with "another wave of layoff emails", according to Walt Disney News Today.

“As heartbreaking as it is to take this action, this is the only feasible option we have in light of the prolonged impact of Covid-19 on our business,” Josh D’Amaro, the chairman of the parks division, said in a memo to workers in late September.

The late September cuts spanned across the company’s various businesses including theme parks, cruise ships and retail businesses. While the layoffs also include executives, they were focusing on part-time workers: 67% of those getting a pink slip are part-time workers.

As part of its farewell package, Disney offered benefits to the workers being cut, including 90 days of severance. The 28,000 layoffs followed the furloughing of a massive 43,000 workers in April, when the company was first impacted by the pandemic.

In July, Disney triumphantly reopened several of its shuttered parks, including in Florida, although visits were a fraction of their pre-pandemic levels. Disney still hasn’t received clearance to restart operations at its two theme parks in Anaheim, California.

Before the pandemic, Disney’s domestic parks alone employed more than 100,000. And, as we noted back in September, while one can "understand" the plight of management, which is scrambling to boost cash flow after it saddled the company with record debt in recent years…

Former CFTC Chairman Admits Futures Can Be Used To Control Prices

Gold and silver futures have been used for decades to control the price of gold and silver. In fact, declassified letters )which can be found in the GATA archive) that bounced between Henry Kissinger and his advisors in the early 1970’s discuss the need for a market mechanism to help control the price of gold. Gold futures did not exist until 1974, three years after Nixon closed the gold window, shortly after which the Fed began to print money. The price of gold had more than quintupled between 1971 and 1974.

Fast forward to present times. A former CFTC Chairman, Christopher Giancarlo, was interviewed by CoinDesk a year ago. In that interview, he likely inadvertently admitted in reference to the creation of Bitcoin futures that futures contracts can be used to manipulate markets for the purpose of implementing and achieving official Government policies:

“One of the untold stories of the past few years is that the CFTC, the Treasury, the SEC and the [National Economic Council] director at the time, Gary Cohn, believed that the launch of bitcoin futures would have the impact of popping the bitcoin bubble. And it worked.” (CoinDesk)

Wittingly or unwittingly, that assertion by Mr. Christopher vindicates the contention – led by GATA starting in over 20 years ago and backed by reams of evidence – that gold and silver have been manipulated as part of official Government and Central Bank policy implementation to support fiat currencies and the dollar’s role as the reserve currency.

As an aside, I find it curious that Mr. Christopher states that the Government specifically identified Bitcoin as a bubble that needed to be deflated. Ever since the dot.com bubble of the late 1990’s, every Federal Reserve Chairman and FOMC member, starting with Alan Greenspan, as been adamant that investment bubbles are impossible to identify until AFTER they’ve popped. Yet, here is a former high level Government regulatory official explicitly stating that Bitcoin was not only identified as a bubble but that it needed to be deflated.

Dem Rep. Sounds the Alarm: ‘It’s Tightening Here in Michigan…Autoworkers Who I Thought Were Voting For Biden Told Me They’re Voting For Trump’

Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell (MI) sounded the alarm on Thursday and told CNN’s Dana Bash, “It’s tightening here in Michigan.”

“Yesterday, I had some of the autoworkers, who I thought were going to go back to Joe Biden, were very clear with me…they’re voting for President Trump,” Dingell said as she stuttered.

Autoworkers in Michigan support president Trump because he got rid of jobs-killing NAFTA.

Biden also mistreated the auto plant workers in Detroit earlier this year.

Shortly before the Covid lockdowns, Joe Biden traveled to Detroit and snapped at auto plant workers who confronted him on his anti-2A stance.

This is why Biden’s handlers are hiding behind Covid and not allowing him to interact with voters.

Biden snapped at an auto plant worker in March and told him he’s “full of shit.”

And Dingell wonders why autoworkers in Michigan are voting for President Trump.

US Congress Has Declared Itself a Collective Dictatorship Over Every Nation in the World

"Congress has also used legislation to outline the behavioral criteria that the Syrian regime must meet to rejoin the international community"

Your country’s relations to Syria, are up to the US Congress to decide, is the opinion of said Congress

In a recent letter written to Secretary of State Pompeo, a number of Congressmen led by Eliot Engel (D–NY) and Michael McCaul (R–TX) expressed their “deep concern” as “strong supporters of the Syrian people” that various countries are attempting to normalize relations with the secular dictator of Syria, Bashar al-Assad.

This they say is unacceptable due to the barbaric war crimes Assad has committed in his country against his own people. Topical as ever, the Congressmen add that Russia and Iran are his allies and have aided in some way to the conflict that has killed at least half a million people since Arab Spring, and led to around 12.5 million to flee the country, many thousands of whom drowned while crossing the Mediterranean.

The hypocrisy contained in the letter is breathtaking, as well as the presumption that the 116th Congress of the United States of America is also the 116th Congress of the entire world.

“Congress has also used legislation to outline the behavioral criteria that the Syrian regime must meet to rejoin the international community,” reads the letter, published on the House Foreign Affairs Committee website.

Exactly why is it that the elected officials of the American republic get to dictate how and when the other 200 or so countries of the world get to open diplomatic relations with Syria: because they passed the Caesar Syrian Civilian Protection Act? Was that passed as a United Nations treaty, or as United States law?

Durham councillor claims Covid is 'a fake virus' that does NOT exist and says living in lockdown is 'like living in North Korea'

Irene Hewitson, 63, called Covid-19 a 'fake virus' at an anti-lockdown protest

Independent councillor said life in lockdown was 'like living in North Korea'

Durham politician claimed pandemic would stop 'if people took off their masks'

A councillor who claims that Covid-19 is a 'fake virus' which does not exist has compared life under lockdown to 'living in North Korea'.

Irene Hewitson, an Independent member of Great Aycliffe Town Council in Co Durham, said she will believe that coronavirus exists 'when my neighbours, relatives, friends and work people are dying around me'.

Speaking at an anti-lockdown rally in Durham city centre, the outspoken councillor compared the virus to the flu and suggested the pandemic would be over 'if people turned their TVs off and just took their masks off'.

'We're being locked down over a fake virus. I don't believe the virus exists,' Cllr Hewitson, 63, told ChronicleLive yesterday. 'When my neighbours, relatives, friends and work people are dying around me then I'll believe it's true.

'I've got a friend who works in the Nightingale Hospital and they've never had one patient. They've been cleaning a hospital for six months. It's absolutely disgusting.

'My granddaughter goes dancing, she goes skating – all the things she enjoys is going ahead – and yet Boris can still go hunting and shooting, it's absolutely disgusting.'

The Byerley Park, Horndale & Cobblers Hall councillor's outburst came during an anti-lockdown protest held at Market Place in Durham yesterday.

The rally, which was organised by Geza Tarjanyi who has spent months protesting outside Downing Street, saw a tiny turnout of opponents to the Government's pandemic policies.

Cllr Hewitson, who lives in Newton Aycliffe, added: 'I think if people turned their TVs off and just took their masks off, got back to normal then the virus would be gone.

'I'm 63-year-old and I've never worn a mask, I've never used hand sanitiser and I've never had a day's illness. And I won't because I'm building up an immunity if there is a little tiny virus out there like the flu.

'People need to wake up fast because before long we're going to have no jobs, no social life, no life at all. It's going to be like living in North Korea.'

A spokesperson for Great Aycliffe Town Council declined to comment.

Durham is currently in Tier 2 lockdown, where households and support bubbles are banned from meeting indoors.

But separate households can meet outdoors and in public gardens, provided they keep two metres apart.

Meanwhile 1,725 students and 20 members of staff at Durham University have tested positive for Covid-19 since the start of term.

Marines Say Military Helicopter Did Not Hover Low Over Trump Campaign Rally

A video shared by President Donald Trump this week prompted new questions about the use of military aircraft at political campaign rallies.

Trump on Wednesday shared a Twitter video appearing to compare the crowd sizes at one of his campaign rallies to a socially distanced event held by former Vice President Joe Biden.

The video of Trump's campaign, taken during an Oct. 23 rally in The Villages retirement community in Sumter County, Florida, appears to show the Marine One presidential helicopter hovering low over a cheering crowd while Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son" plays in the background.

But the Marine Corps says the angle at which the video was taken doesn't show the full picture.

"The flight did not fly over (or hover over) the assembled crowd," Capt. Joe Butterfield, a Marine spokesman at the Pentagon, said. "The entire flight was conducted in accordance with U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps regulations, operating procedures and safety protocols."

Marine One, which is flown by members of Marine Helicopter Squadron One, landed at a safe distance from the crowd, he added, which the camera angle "does not appear to fully capture."

Footage from central Florida's Spectrum News 13, which captured the helo's approach from another angle, shows Marine One landing in a green space in front of the rally.

"In accordance with U.S. Navy regulations, no review or investigation is necessary," Butterfield said.

Breast Cancer is an Environmental Health Issue. For Example: Cell Phones in Bras = Tumors in Ta-Tas

Dr. Devra Davis, EHT Co-Founder, and President has long championed the issue of environmental factors contributing to breast cancer.

“A substantial body of scientific evidence indicates that exposures to common chemicals and radiation, alone and in combination, are an important cause of breast cancer. The challenge in understanding breast cancer is considerable as the disease can arise decades after critical exposures take place. The disease may well arise from either hormonally active materials or those that directly damage DNA.

Pre-menopausal breast cancer and postmenopausal breast cancer are likely to have different causes. Several classes of environmental factors have been implicated as an increased risk for breast cancer, including hormones and endocrine-disrupting compounds, organic chemicals and by-products of industrial and vehicular combustion, and both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.

In its review of “The State of the Evidence,” the Breast Cancer Fund recently concluded that there are major opportunities to reduce breast cancer risk through lowering chemical exposures in many different workplaces.

The fundamental challenge to researchers and policymakers remains this: we seldom can identify specific distinct causes of breast cancer through public health research. Yet every proven cause of cancer in humans has also been shown to cause cancer in animals when adequately studied. Policymakers have agreed that in order to prevent cancer in humans, we should rely on experimental findings.

We cannot wait for sufficient numbers of illnesses or deaths to amass when we already know that certain compounds and professions increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Acting to control or restrict such exposures is critical in order to control disease.”

Supreme Court rejects second GOP effort to block mail-ballot extension in North Carolina

The Supreme Court on Thursday denied a Republican bid to block a mail-ballot extension in North Carolina, a day after rejecting a similar GOP effort in the key battleground state.

The court's three most conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito — would have granted the Republican request.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who joined the bench Tuesday, took no part in considering the case.

Netanyahu: COVID will stay ‘here’ until vaccine developed, maybe even after that

Coronavirus cabinet to convene to discuss further easing lockdown measures; Health Ministry reports 7 deaths, 384 new infections since midnight

Prime Minister Netanyahu gives a televised statement before the so-called coronavirus cabinet reconvenes to discuss further easing lockdown measures.

He again defends the decision to impose a lockdown last month amid a surge in new COVID-19 cases, noting declining infection rates.

Netanyahu says the coronavirus will remain “here” until a vaccine is developed and maybe even after that.

“We’re making every effort to carefully open businesses,” he says.

The premier also claims he’ll back localized lockdowns in areas with high infection rates. He previously backed off imposing local lockdowns in ultra-Orthodox cities following pushback from Haredi politicians, who he is aligned with.

ICE announces arrests of more than 30 at-large aliens in south Texas

SAN ANTONIO – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced Wednesday the results of a five-day targeted enforcement operation that resulted in the apprehension of more than 30 at-large aliens in the south Texas area of responsibility. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers conducted the targeted enforcement actions Oct. 19 through Oct. 23, focusing on aliens subject to removal who pose a threat to public safety.

“Each arrest protects the victims involved in crimes committed by criminal aliens and prevents future ones. Criminal aliens who are illegally present in the U.S. and threaten public safety will be apprehended and removed,” said Jose Correa, field office director for ICE ERO San Antonio. “Targeted enforcement operations continue everyday as part of our efforts to protect our communities from cross-border crime and illegal immigration.”

Among those ICE arrested during the enforcement actions were:

a 29-year-old, aggravated felon and citizen of Honduras with multiple convictions for burglary, driving while intoxicated (DWI) and DWI with a child in the vehicle. Additionally, he was convicted and sentenced to 18 months incarceration by the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Texas for illegal reentry into the United States. He was arrested and remains in ICE ERO custody pending removal

a 38-year-old, aggravated felon and citizen of Honduras with a conviction of possession with intent to distribute a schedule 2 narcotic in August 2008. He was sentenced to two years and six months incarceration. He was arrested and remains in ICE ERO custody pending removal.

Last fiscal year, 86 percent of those arrested by ICE had criminal convictions or pending charges. ICE focuses its resources on those who pose the greatest threat to public safety.

In FY 2019, ICE arrested individuals with more than 1,900 convictions and charges for homicide, 1,800 for kidnapping, 12,000 sex offenses, 5,000 sexual assaults, 45,000 assaults, 67,000 crimes involving drugs, 10,000 weapons offenses, and 74,000 DUIs. ICE continues to target criminal aliens and other public safety and national security threats every day.

ICE does not exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement. All those in violation of immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States. ICE takes many factors into account when targeting and arresting individuals, including their criminal and immigration history.

Every day, ICE officers enforce U.S. immigration laws that enable them to remove dangerous criminal aliens and immigration violators from our communities.

Southeast Texas man who wanted to marry child victim sentenced to 50 years in prison for producing child pornography

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – A Southeast Texas man who wanted to marry his minor victim was sentenced Wednesday in the Southern District of Texas to 50 years in federal prison for producing child pornography.

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

Stephen Scott Meals, 39, a resident of Corpus Christi, pleaded guilty to the charges on Feb. 20. He was further ordered to register as a sex offender and to serve the rest of his life on supervised release following completion of his prison term, during which time he will have to comply with numerous requirements designed to restrict his access to children and the internet.

At the hearing, the court heard how Meals groomed his victim over many years, gaining her trust and the trust of her family. He then initiated a sexual relationship with her while her family was displaced during Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

In November 2018, law enforcement learned of the sexual relationship he had with the 15-year-old female. When authorities identified her, she was wearing a promise ring Meals had given her and Meals later admitted he had hoped to marry her.

During the investigation, authorities seized Meals’ electronic devices. Forensic evaluation revealed several pornographic images of the child victim in a secure folder on his cell phone. Some of the images included the minor female in various stages of nudity that Meals has taken in order to memorialize the sexual assaults he had committed against her.

The investigation also led to the discovery of an additional child victim Meals had been sexually abusing. At the hearing today, the court heard testimony from a medical expert regarding the evidence of that abuse.

Meals has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brittany L. Jensen prosecuted the case.

Judicial Watch Sues for Unmasking Records: Biden, Top Obama Officials ‘Unmasked’ General Flynn

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the National Security Agency (NSA) for records of requests by former Vice President Joe Biden and other top Obama administration officials, including President Obama’s chief of staff, to “unmask” Lieutenant General (Retired) Michael Flynn (Judicial Watch v. National Security Agency (No. 1:20-cv-03088)). The term “unmasking” refers to the practice of disclosing to political appointees the identities of U.S. citizens referenced in intelligence surveillance of foreign nationals. U.S. citizens’ names are typically redacted from such reports unless a specific request is made to “unmask” them.

Judicial Watch filed this lawsuit after the NSA failed to respond to two separate September 1, 2020 FOIA requests.

The first request seeks “records about a January 12, 2017, request to ‘unmask’ Lieutenant General Flynn submitted to NSA by or on behalf of then-Vice President Joe Biden.”

The World Bank Throws Full Weight Behind The Great Reset

For decades, the global elite hid their plans behind environmental extremists, but now they have fully revealed themselves as being the master architects from the very beginning. The World Bank, IMF and Bank for International Settlements are in a coordinated tryst to reform the planet. ⁃ TN Editor

The World Bank has published a report that outlines economy-wide actions to facilitate decarbonization and sustainable development as the world recovers from the COVID-19 global pandemic. The report aims to help countries align their development pathways with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change through long-term strategies that promote climate resilience of food and water systems, energy, transport, and cities, among other sectors.

The report titled, ‘World Bank Outlook 2050 Strategic Directions Note: Supporting Countries to Meet Long-Term Goals of Decarbonization,’ highlights the “huge risks” climate change poses to countries’ long-term development and growth, with critical implications for poverty, food security, and health. In a foreword, Juergen Voegele, World Bank’s Vice President for Sustainable Development, cautions that all countries, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable, are now facing “the compound impacts of the twin challenges” of climate change and COVID-19.

The report notes that the ambition reflected in the first round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) would only limit global warming to 2.7-3.7°C above preindustrial levels. It warns that a continued focus on short- and medium-term targets could make decarbonization more difficult, and calls for long-term strategies to help countries develop sustainably. “By planning ahead, these strategies can boost new economic activity and innovations, creating the jobs of the future, while also securing a safer climate, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable,” said Mari Pangestu, World Bank’s Managing Director of Development Policy and Partnerships, at the report’s launch.

The Outlook 2050 recognizes the need for a “bold economic transformation” to realize the vision of the Paris Agreement and make the SDGs “more achievable,” which includes aligning finance flows with low-emissions, climate-resilient development pathways. It proposes a “whole-of-economy” approach to decarbonization, which prioritizes four economy-wide strategic directions:

Embed long-term climate priorities in countries’ macroeconomic frameworks;

Embed long-term climate planning in national budgets and expenditure frameworks;

Embed long-term climate objectives in financial sector regulations and incentives; and

Embed long-term climate objectives in systems planning.

The report identifies cross-sectoral opportunities and makes recommendations across eight areas that are essential for achieving the SDGs: 1) transforming food systems; 2) protecting land-based ecosystems and carbon sinks; 3) transforming energy systems; 4) transforming mobility; 5) building low-carbon, more resilient urban areas; 6) transforming water systems; 7) transforming the ocean economy; and 8) digital transformation. The Outlook 2050 finds that investing in cross-sectoral opportunities, including as part of stimulus packages, can aid in a sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Britain’s Profiteering Spymasters Ignored the Country’s Biggest Threats

Almost all of Britain’s former spy chiefs are personally profiting from working for cyber security and energy companies after retiring from the U.K.’s major intelligence agencies.

In May, Declassified UK revealed that since 2000, nine out of 10 former chiefs of MI6, MI5 and GCHQ have taken jobs in the cyber security industry, a sector they promoted while in office as key to defending the U.K. from the “Russian threat.”

The British government was told for over a decade that the “gravest risk” to the country is an influenza pandemic, which its National Security Strategy identifies as a “tier one priority risk.” Yet the security services largely ignored health threats, despite claiming they are guided by the U.K.’s security strategy.

The burgeoning and profitable cyber industry in the U.K., where former spy chiefs gain employment, is now worth over £8-billion. Sir Iain Lobban, who ran GCHQ from 2008 to 2014, has become director or adviser to 10 private cyber or data security companies since leaving office. His own consultancy, Cyberswift Limited, had over £1-million in assets by the end of 2018, four years after he left GCHQ.

The “revolving door” between government and industry is meant to be regulated for conflicts of interest by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA). However, Declassifiedcan find no evidence that an intelligence chief has ever had an ACOBA application rejected. This allows them to lobby their old agencies on behalf of their private interests after they leave office.

One former MI6 head, Sir John Scarlett, was given “unconditional approval” by ACOBA when he became an adviser to a major oil company in 2011, meaning he was immediately free to lobby his former colleagues in intelligence and parliament on behalf of the firm.

The last three heads of MI6 all joined oil or gas-producing companies, which are among the world’s largest contributors to climate change, after they left the service. Declassified can reveal that former MI6 chief, Sir Richard Dearlove, has earned more than £2-million from his role on the board of American oil and gas company, Kosmos Energy, which was until 2018 registered in the tax haven of Bermuda.

Another former MI6 chief, Sir John Sawers, has earned £699,000 since 2015 as a board member of oil giant BP, in addition to possessing shares in the company worth £91,300.

Climate change has also been largely ignored by the security agencies, evidence suggests, despite the U.K. government last year recognizing it as a “security risk,” adding, “There is no doubt that climate-related security challenges are real. They are here. They are now.”

Key Pentagon Official Turned China Policy Over to Arms Industry & Taiwan Supporters

When the United States finalized a set of seven arms sales packages to Taiwan in August, including 66 upgraded F-16 fighter planes and longer-range air-to-ground missiles that could hit sensitive targets on mainland China, it shifted U.S. policy sharply toward a much more aggressive stance on the geo-strategic island at the heart of military tensions between the United States and China.

Branded “Fortress Taiwan” by the Pentagon, the ambitious arms deal was engineered by Randall Schriver, a veteran pro-Taiwan activist and anti-China hardliner whose think tank had been financed by America’s biggest arms contractors and by the Taiwan government itself.

Since assuming the post of assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific security affairs in early 2018, Schriver has focused primarily on granting his major arms company patrons the vaunted arms deals they had sought for years.

The arms sales Schriver has overseen represent the most dangerous U.S. escalation against China in years. The weapons systems will give Taiwan the capability to strike Chinese military and civilian targets far inland, thus emboldening those determined to push for independence from China.

Although no U.S. administration has committed to defending Taiwan since Washington normalized relations with China, the Pentagon is developing the weapons systems and military strategy it would need for a full-scale war. If a conflict breaks out, Taiwan is likely to be at its center.

Returning Favors

Schriver is a longtime advocate of massive, highly provocative arms sales to Taiwan who has advanced the demand that the territory be treated more like a sovereign, independent state. His lobbying has been propelled by financial support from major arms contractors and Taiwan through two institutional bases: a consulting business and a “think tank” that also led the charge for arms sales to U.S. allies in East Asia.

The first of these outfits was a consulting firm called Armitage International, which Schriver founded in 2005 with Richard Armitage, a senior Pentagon and State Department official in the Reagan and George W. Bush administrations.

Schriver had served as Armitage’s chief of staff in the State Department and then as deputy sssistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs. (Armitage, a lifelong Republican, recently released a video endorsement of Joseph Biden for president).
