Trump Advisor Corey Lewandowski Tests Positive For COVID-19

Corey Lewandowski, a top Trump advisor known for being the first campaign manager to work with the president, has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to media reports citing insiders within the administration.

Lewandowski reportedly tested positive Wednesday; he has been in Philadelphia all week as the Trump campaign has continued to bring lawsuits related to the election results.

Lewandowski is the latest in a string of top TrumpWorld figures to test positive over the past week. Others have included Mark Meadows, and a group of other White House staffers. Lewandowski attended the White House election night party, but for what it's worth, Lewandowski believes he contracted the virus in Philadelphia, and even the NYT's Maggie Haberman suggested that he likely didn't contract the virus at the White House.

Biden’s Pentagon Transition Team Members Funded by the Arms Industry

Investigation found one third of the team worked for organizations that receive funding from weapons makers

On Tuesday, Joe Biden released a list of transition teams for the various departments in his future White House. The Pentagon transition team for Biden consists of 23 people, many of whom hail from hawkish think tanks.

The team is led by Kathleen Hicks, who worked in the Pentagon under the Obama administration. Hicks most recent employer is the Cen­ter for Strate­gic and Inter­na­tion­al Stud­ies (CSIS), a think tank that receives contributions from arms makers like Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon, to name a few.

CSIS also receives contributions from governments. The think tank’s top government donors are the US, the UAE, Taiwan, and Japan. Two other CSIS employees are on the transition team; Andrew Hunter and Melissa Dalton, who both worked in the Pentagon under the Obama administration.

CSIS employees author policy papers and Op-Eds that generally call for more US involvement around the world. In August, Hicks co-authored an Op-Ed in The Hill titled, “Pentagon Action to Withdraw from Germany Benefits Our Adversaries,” a piece that slammed Trump’s plan to draw down troops from Germany, which Biden could to call off.

Two members of the transition team come from the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), Susanna Blume, a former Pentagon employee, and Ely Ratner, who served as deputy national security advisor to then-vice president Joe Biden from 2015 to 2017.

CNAS is another think tank that enjoys hefty donations from weapons makers, major corporations, and governments. From 2019 to 2020, CNAS received at least $500,000 from the US State Department and at least $500,000 from Northrop Grumman. Other donors include Google, Facebook, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin.

Three more team members list their latest employer as the RAND Corporation, Stacie Pettyjohn, a wargaming expert, Christine Wormuth, who held a few roles in the Obama administration, and Terri Tanielian, a behavioral scientist.

RAND is another hawkish think tank that receives the bulk of its funding from the US government, including the US Army, Air Force, and Department of Homeland Security. RAND is also funded by the UAE, Qatar, and NATO.

A report from In These Times found at least eight out of the 23 team members come from organizations that receive funding from US weapons makers (not including RAND). Besides the CSIS and CNAS employees listed above, In These Times includes Sharon Burke, who works for New America, Shawn Skel­ly, from CACI International, and Vic­tor Gar­cia, from Rebellion Defense.

Biden’s Military Brain Trust Includes Former Navy, Marine Corps Top Leaders

A former sergeant major of the Marine Corps and the Navy's first-ever female four-star admiral are two of the military veterans on President-elect Joe Biden's government transition teams.

Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris announced this week who will serve on the teams that will help them take over from the Trump administration in January. That's despite President Donald Trump's refusal to concede the election, and his administration blocking the Biden teams' access to governmental departments.

The transition teams for the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs are packed with veterans and policy experts who have previously worked in government, think tanks, tech companies and academia.

Several members selected for the teams referred questions about their work back to Biden's staff, which told Military.com on Wednesday they are proud that so many involved in the transition are military veterans.

"[The agency review team] members were chosen because they are well-respected in their fields and, in many cases, for their extensive experience in the federal agencies they will now help review for the incoming Biden-Harris administration," Biden's team said in a statement. "… It is important for this work to begin to make sure that the Biden-Harris administration is ready to govern on Day One."

Kathleen Hicks, who served as principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy at the Pentagon during the Obama administration, will lead Biden's DoD transition team. Hicks, who's the director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' international security program, also served as deputy undersecretary of defense for strategy, plans and forces.

Meg Kabat, the former director of the VA's Caregiver Support Program and a licensed social worker, will head up the Biden transition team at the VA. Kabat, currently a senior director at the Atlas Research consulting firm, is one of 14 members on that team.

Joining Hicks on the Defense Department team is retired Adm. Michelle Howard, who was the first-ever African American woman to command a Navy ship. Howard, also the Navy's first female four-star admiral, planned the famous mission to rescue Capt. Richard Phillips from Somali pirates in 2009.

Retired Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps John Estrada, who also served as U.S. ambassador to his home country of Trinidad and Tobago under President Barack Obama, is on the DoD transition team.

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Karen Gibson, who served with the director of National Intelligence while in uniform, is on the team too. Gibson served in several key senior intelligence leadership positions for operations in the Middle East and Africa.

Schumer, Pelosi want $3.4T as 'starting point' in new COVID-19 relief talks

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday morning said the $3.4 trillion Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act passed by House Democrats in May should be the “starting point” for negotiations with Senate Republicans and the White House on a new round of coronavirus relief legislation.

The Democratic leaders appeared to step back from their pre-election offer to White House negotiators to slim down the total size of the package to $2.2 trillion.

Even though Democrats lost seats in the House and face long odds of retaking the Senate majority, Schumer and Pelosi said President-elect Joe Biden’s victory is what counts.

“The HEROES Act should be the starting point, not an emaciated bill that prioritizes protections for corporations and considers the needs of American families as an afterthought,” Schumer told reporters at a joint press conference with Pelosi.

“The HEROES Act, passed in the House, does meet this moment. It doesn’t pick and choose who we’re going to help during the greatest health and economic crisis in decades,” he argued.

Asked if Democratic leaders had changed their position at all on the next coronavirus relief package, Pelosi said passing the HEROES Act has always been their goal.

“It has been our position all along to crush the virus, honor our heroes, put money in the pockets of the American people,” she said.

Pelosi said Democrats received a mandate for their go-big approach on Election Day.

“What Joe Biden got in this election was a mandate, a mandate to address the challenges that our country faces as well as to have a positive initiative on how to grow the economy in a fair way and in order to do that we must address the pandemic,” she said.

The House passed the $3.4 trillion relief package in May and then passed a smaller $2.2 trillion relief package in October.

Russia will not lecture US on its electoral system, says Lavrov

The top diplomat recalled that former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had acknowledged the existence of certain flaws in the US electoral system and remarked that the Americans were aware of that

MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Russia is not going to lecture the United States regarding the operation of its electoral system, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Russian and foreign media outlets in an interview on crucial issues on the international agenda.

US policy on Russia unlikely to change under Biden, Lavrov says

"As far as our approach is concerned, we have said more than once that we respect the right of the American people to decide its own future. Though possibly, their electoral system is the most archaic of all that there exist in countries of at least some importance around the world," he said.

Lavrov recalled that he raised that issue in conversations with his US counterparts, including former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who acknowledged the existence of certain flaws in the US electoral system and remarked that the Americans were aware of that and would address the issue themselves.

"It is my strong wish to see the Americans at least feel no worries about our own problems that they point to here and take it easy when it comes to problems of the same sort in other countries. Each country has its own traditions. If the Americans are prepared to stick to a tradition that considerably distorts the expression of people’s will, it is their right. If they are happy about everything, and all is correct (though far from everything turns out to be correct), how can we advise them on something? May they sort things out themselves," Lavrov said.

Netanyahu says Israel to start getting Pfizer coronavirus vaccines in January

PM says all legal impediments to deal removed, he’s also working on securing immunizations from other sources; outgoing virus czar predicts vaccines won’t arrive before March

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised on Thursday that Israel will begin to receive Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine as early as January, saying that the government and the pharmaceutical giant had reached an agreement to remove all remaining impediments to signing a deal.

“Together with the legal advisers on both sides, we have removed the last obstacle before signing a contract with Pfizer for the supply of vaccines to Israel,” Netanyahu said in statement broadcast live following a meeting of the co-called coronavirus cabinet.

“We will get these vaccines like the leading countries in the world. It will start in January, it will grow from month to month. And we are working, and I am working, to bring vaccines from other sources as well. The more, the better,” he added.

Netanyahu’s comments, however, followed those of outgoing coronavirus czar Roni Gamzu, who said he believes vaccines will start arriving in Israel in April, or March at the earliest. Gamzu ends his term on Thursday and is to be replaced by Nachman Ash, a former IDF chief medical officer.

Earlier Thursday, Netanyahu said he had spoken with Pfizer chief Albert Bourla overnight and that Israel was set to sign an agreement with the pharmaceutical giant within days. The call followed a conversation on Wednesday evening between the prime minister and Bourla that Netanyahu described as “very substantive and very practical.”

Israel’s Channel 12 said in an unsourced report that in the initial call, Netanyahu secured a verbal commitment from Bourla to supply Israel with three million vaccinations (six million shots) at an initial investment of NIS 100 million ($29.6 million).

Iowa GOP congressional candidate declares victory in one of closest races in history

Assuming Miller-Meeks wins, she will add to growing number of GOP women elected to Congress.

“We were ahead in votes so that makes us the winner of this election. That doesn’t mean that there’s still not processes that still have to go through,” Miller-Meeks said.

Miller-Meeks holds a 34-vote lead over opponent Rita Hart after an error was corrected. Assuming Miller-Meeks is the winner, she will add to the growing number of Republican women elected to Congress.

Republican women have made major strides in Congress this election, adding 13 to the ranks of the House of Representatives.

Miller-Meeks said every legal ballot should count, highlighting an error that occurred in Iowa's Lucas County that swung the outcome in her favor.

Warnock’s Spiritual Mentor Called for the ‘Destruction of Everything White’

Raphael Warnock's mentor argued white Christians are 'satanic'

Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock has praised his religious mentor, Dr. James Hal Cone, as a "poignant and powerful voice" of high "spiritual magnitude."

Cone, however, was a controversial theologian who argued that white Christians are "satanic" and advocated for the "destruction of everything white" in society.

Warnock has described Cone, who served as his academic adviser at the Union Theological Seminary, as his "mentor."

The candidate's ties to radical theologians, including Rev. Jeremiah Wright, now threaten to complicate his candidacy in a hotly contested Senate race that could tip the balance of the upper chamber. Cone’s divisive rhetoric, and Warnock’s subsequent praise for him, may pose new challenges for Warnock, a political unknown until earlier this year. Warnock's public defense of Wright's "God Damn America" speech in 2008—which President Obama denounced as offensive after his own ties to Wright came to light—has also come under scrutiny. Wright has also credited Cone's work for inspiring his own religious philosophy.

First in his 2013 book and later in a 2018 eulogy, Warnock lavished praise on Cone. "How blessed we are that someone of the spiritual magnitude and power and commitment of Dr. James Hal Cone passed our way," Warnock said in the eulogy.

Warnock's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Cone, who is widely considered the "father of black theology," outlined his controversial views in his 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation.

There, he argues that "American white theology is a theology of the Antichrist" and advocates for a new "black theology" that will usher in a revolution to eradicate whiteness from society.

"There will be no peace in America until white people begin to hate their whiteness, asking from the depths of their being: ‘How can we become black?'" Cone wrote.

Warnock cited the work over a dozen times in the chapters and footnotes of his own 2013 book The Divided Mind of the Black Church.

One of Cone’s central arguments is that whites worship a false "white God" and follow an anti-Christian "white theology." In reality, he wrote, "God is black" and "has nothing to do with the God worshiped in white churches."

"The white God is an idol created by racists, and we blacks must perform the iconoclastic task of smashing false idols," wrote Cone. "White religionists are not capable of perceiving the blackness of God, because their satanic whiteness is a denial of the very essence of divinity."

The book argued that the purpose of black theology is the "destruction of everything white."

"If there is one brutal fact that the centuries of white oppression have taught blacks, it is that whites are incapable of making any valid judgements about human existence," wrote Cone. "The goal of black theology is the destruction of everything white, so that blacks can be liberated from alien gods."

In order for any theology to be truly Christian, Cone said, it must "[deny] whiteness as a proper form of human existence and [affirm] blackness as God’s intention for humanity."

Cone also argued that black people should use any means, including violence, to overthrow American society, which he described as systemically racist.

Multiple Michigan residents swear they witnessed widespread voter fraud in Detroit

Early witnesses who signed affidavits range from a longtime city worker to a former assistant attorney general.

The media mantra that there is no evidence of voter fraud in the Nov. 3 election for the first time faces a real challenge. Several Michigan residents — ranging from a city worker to a former state assistant attorney general — swear under penalty of perjury they witnessed significant and widespread election tampering in the city of Detroit.

And by significant, they insist thousands of ballots were involved.

Rudy Giuliani: 'I have never seen an election case with half this evidence of fraud'

Take, for instance, longtime city of Detroit employee Jessy Jacob, who provided among the most startling accounts.

Jacob stated in an affidavit she personally witnessed — and in some cases was instructed — to backdate thousands of absentee ballots the day after the election to make them appear legal even though they were not in the Qualified Vote File and had not arrived by the deadline.

"On November 4, 2020, I was instructed to improperly pre-date the absentee ballots receive date that were not in the QVF as if they had been received on or before November 3, 2020," she testified. "I was told to alter the information in the QVF to falsely show that the absentee ballots had been received in time to be valid. I estimate that this was done to thousands of ballots."

File

CushmanAffidavit.pdf

Jacob's claim is stunning. Not only does she risk perjury if she lied, she could lose her livelihood as a city worker.

Just the News reviewed more than a dozen affidavits filed in various election challenge lawsuits in Michigan. All witnesses, like Jacob, signed the affidavits and had them notarized, making them subject to Michigan's perjury law.

Jacob described how she was assigned to work the city's election back in September and for weeks witnessed systemic election fraud and tampering with voters at multiple locations.

"I processed absentee ballot packages to be sent to voters while I worked at the election headquarters in September 2020 along with 70-80 other poll workers," her affidavit stated. "I was instructed by my supervisor to adjust the mailing date of these absentee ballot packages to be dated earlier than they were actually sent. The supervisor was making announcements for all workers to engage in this practice.

"I directly observed, on a daily basis, City of Detroit election workers and employees coaching and trying to coach voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat party. I witnessed these workers and employees encouraging voters to do a straight Democrat ballot. I witnessed these election workers and employees going over to the voting booths with voters in order to watch them vote and coach them for whom to vote."

Officials for the city election clerk's office did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Grassley Questions DOJ on Biden Family Compliance with FARA

On Monday, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Andy Barr, to evaluate whether Hunter and James Biden should have registered as foreign agents for their business arrangements with the Chinese government-back energy company CEFC.

In the letter to Barr, Grassley is asking for details on what steps, if any, the Justice Department has taken to verify whether the Bidens complied with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

“FARA is an important statute that was designed not to prohibit activity but rather to require individuals to register with the DOJ if they are acting as an agent of a foreign government or enterprise to influence U.S. policy or public opinion. This helps ensure transparency and accountability in the public policy arena,” Grassley wrote.

Grassley noted that Ye Jianming, founder of CEFC, and Hunter Biden “formed a lucrative financial relationship that resulted in Hunter Biden receiving millions of dollars” while Ye and CEFC gained access to lucrative U.S. opportunities.

“The actions by Hunter Biden and James Biden on behalf of CEFC, Ye Jianming, and other officers connected to CEFC, potentially make them agents of the Chinese government,” Grassley wrote.

This is not Grassley’s first time raising concerns over the Justice Department’s FARA enforcement. In fact,

“Proper enforcement of, and compliance with, FARA remains a top priority of mine as foreign governments and enterprises continue to use agents within the United States as conduits to lobby for policy changes and engage in public relations activity for the benefit of foreign principals.”

Neocons Poised to Join New Government

Donald Trump was much troubled during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns by so-called conservatives who rallied behind the #NeverTrump banner, presumably in opposition to his stated intention to end or at least diminish America’s role in wars in the Middle East and Asia. Those individuals are generally described as neoconservatives but the label is itself somewhat misleading and they might more properly be described as liberal warmongers as they are closer to the Democrats than the Republicans on most social issues and are now warming up even more as the new Joe Biden Administration prepares to take office.

To be sure, some neocons stuck with the Republicans, to include the highly controversial Elliott Abrams, who initially opposed Trump but is now the point man for dealing with both Venezuela and Iran. Abrams’ conversion reportedly took place when he realized that the new president genuinely embraced unrelenting hostility towards Iran as exemplified by the ending of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad. John Bolton was also a neocon in the White House fold, though he is now a frenemy having been fired by the president and written a book.

Even though the NeverTrumper neocons did not succeed in blocking Donald Trump in 2016, they have been maintaining relevancy by slowly drifting back towards the Democratic Party, which is where they originated back in the 1970s in the office of the Senator from Boeing Henry “Scoop” Jackson. A number of them started their political careers there, to include leading neocon Richard Perle.

It would not be overstating the case to suggest that the neoconservative movement has now been born again, though the enemy is now the unreliable Trumpean-dominated Republican Party rather than Saddam Hussein or Ayatollah Khomeini. The transition has also been aided by a more aggressive shift among the Democrats themselves, with Russiagate and other “foreign interference” being blamed for the party’s failure in 2016. Given that mutual intense hostility to Trump, the doors to previously shunned liberal media outlets have now opened wide to the stream of foreign policy “experts” who want to “restore a sense of the heroic” to U.S. national security policy. Eliot A. Cohen and David Frum are favored contributors to the Atlantic while Bret Stephens and Bari Weiss were together at the New York Times prior to Weiss’s recent resignation. Jennifer Rubin, who wrote in 2016 that “It is time for some moral straight talk: Trump is evil incarnate,” is a frequent columnist for The Washington Post while both she and William Kristol appear regularly on MSNBC.

The unifying principle that ties many of the mostly Jewish neocons together is, of course, unconditional defense of Israel and everything it does, which leads them to support a policy of American global military dominancewhich they presume will inter alia serve as a security umbrella for the Jewish state. In the post-9/11 world, the neocon media’s leading publication The Weekly Standard virtually invented the concept of “Islamofascism” to justify endless war in the Middle East, a development that has killed millions of Muslims, destroyed at least three nations, and cost the U.S. taxpayer more than $5 trillion. The Israel connection has also resulted in neocon support for an aggressive policy against Russia due to its involvement in Syria and has led to repeated calls for the U.S. to attack Iran and destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon. In Eastern Europe, neocon ideologues have aggressively sought “democracy promotion,” which, not coincidentally, has also been a major Democratic Party foreign policy objective.

From Hiding, Pashinyan Issues More Excuses Through Facebook, Doesn’t Mention Resignation

On November 12th, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and the President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian met and discussed the current situation in the country.

Prior to that, Artsakh Justice Minister Siran Avetisyan presented a letter of resignation to the President of Artsakh Araik Harutyunyan explaining the decision as coming down to differing political views.

Around midday on November 12th, Prime Minister, again through Facebook, issued an address to the Armenian people.

The statement, in its entirety can be read below:

“Having signed this sad document, I knew that I was under threat not only politically, but also physically, but it was more important for me to save the lives of 25 thousand of our soldiers.

Why didn’t you resign in order not to sign this document? This would be desertion and an attempt to leave a difficult situation to another leader.

This document does not imply a meaningful solution to the Karabakh conflict. This document is about ending the war in Karabakh. The Karabakh conflict was not resolved then, and it is not resolved now.

I and the President of Karabakh did not provide full information about the deplorable situation, so as not to cause panic.

We have done everything to preserve every inch of Karabakh.

We fought against three armies. But, unfortunately, we were not able to fully support our army.

Yes, the signed document is very bad for Armenia, but we should not make it worse.

The document provides for the unblocking of all regional roads and provides for a railway between Iran and Armenia.

Russian peacekeepers will ensure the security of the residents of Karabakh throughout the territory. They will ensure the stability of the road connection between Stepanakert and Yerevan. Our task is to ensure stability in the country.

We will not allow representatives of the former government to create chaos in the country. We have a future. We must draw conclusions and understand the mistakes.

The problem is that the most important function of the commander is to solve the problem for the soldier. But when a soldier cannot influence further events in any way, it is no longer the soldier who must die, but the Motherland must make sacrifices for the sake of the soldier’s life.

That’s why I signed this infamous contract. I chose the lives of 25,000 soldiers over my career and my life.

Why didn’t I consult with the people before signing the document? For a very simple reason. In the course of communicating with the people, I had to publicly and honestly present an objective situation, and this meant providing detailed information to the enemy as well, informing a detailed plan for the encirclement of our soldiers in the amount of 25 thousand people in a matter of hours.

They talk about the surrender of Meghri. This is absolutely ridiculous. We are just talking about opening regional transport links. In this case, the roads from Azerbaijan to Nakhichevan are opened, but at the same time the road from Yerevan to Syunik region via Nakhichevan is also unblocked.”

What becomes apparent is this: Pashinyan refuses to resign and clings to power, he says he “ended his career” but he plans on continuing to lead the country.

ICE, international partners arrest 113 child predators

WASHINGTON—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) – in collaboration with the Brazil Ministry of Justice and the Public Security (MJSP) Secretariat for Integrated Operation (SEOPI) Cyber Laboratory – arrested 113 alleged child predators across the U.S. and in South America, Nov. 2 to 6, during phase seven of Operation Protected Childhood (OPC VII).

OPC VII simultaneously targeted the distributors and producers of child sexual abuse material throughout the Americas. The operation was conducted across multiple ICE HSI domestic field offices and executed in coordination with the agency's Cyber Crimes Center (C3) and with law enforcement counterparts in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Panama.

"This collaborative effort by ICE's Homeland Security Investigations and its foreign law enforcement partners has put dangerous criminals behind bars and, most importantly, has led to the rescue of innocent children," said ICE Attaché for Brazil and Bolivia, Robert Fuentes Jr. "Thank you to our Brazilian partners for their unwavering efforts over the last five years to combat child exploitation through Operation Protected Childhood. And to our partners who have most recently joined our operation, we look forward to the continued fight and relentless effort to put a stop to this horrific crime."

OPC was initiated in March 2015 by HSI Brazil in partnership with Brazil's MJSP Cyber Lab to increase the effectiveness of online child exploitation investigations. These efforts are a product of HSI's continued investment in building partner capacity in Brazil. Since 2015, HSI and its partners have launched multiple phases of OPC and have recently expanded the operation to a larger multinational enforcement action.

During OPC VII, HSI offices in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, California, Colorado and Florida executed a combined 13 child exploitation-related search warrants and made nine arrests for child exploitation offenses. These executions were simultaneous with the enforcement actions made by Brazilian authorities and international law enforcement partners in Argentina, Paraguay, and Panama with the support of our HSI presence overseas.

A sample of HSI domestic enforcement actions as part of OPC VII include:

HSI Raleigh, North Carolina, Nov. 6: HSI and the Cary Police Department executed a federal arrest warrant on a suspect for the production, transportation, and possession of child pornography. HSI Raleigh received a lead from C3 regarding a suspect posting child pornography in Kik chat rooms. Forensics located hundreds of images of child pornography, to include several naked images of his children. A warrant was subsequently issued for the subject's arrest.

HSI Panama City, Florida, Nov. 5: HSI and the Lynn Haven Police Department executed a residential search warrant for possession and distribution of child pornography. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children provided information indicating that the target of investigation had used the Facebook Messenger app to distribute files of child pornography. One individual was arrested on scene for child exploitative material. Two additional individuals were arrested during the search warrant for narcotics possession.

Lawsuit Claims 40,000-Plus Fraudulent Ballots Pumped Through Detroit For Joe Biden

Eyewitnesses testify they saw approximately 40,000 irregular ballots arrive in vehicles with out-of-state plates during an early-morning poll worker shift change Nov. 4. That's not even the half of it.

A lawsuit filed Nov. 8 in Michigan alleges that Detroit, Mich. elections officials oversaw and openly encouraged election fraud totaling many “tens of thousands” of fraudulent ballots, plus other illegal election-tampering.

The complaint filed by an in-state conservative nonprofit legal group alleges numerous instances of illegal and suspicious activity in the Democrat stronghold encompassing Detroit, Wayne County. President Trump’s legal team has filed a separate lawsuit alleging additional voting crimes and irregularities in the county.

The current results of the presidential race in Michigan suggest an approximately 146,000-vote gap between President Trump and Joe Biden, and an 84,000-vote gap between U.S. Senate candidates Gary Peters (D) and John James (R). The Associated Press and the state’s Democrat officials say Biden has won the state’s electoral votes and that Trump’s claims of fraud are insulting and inaccurate.

Wayne County is estimated to have been the site of some 850,000 votes this year. If this lawsuit is accurate, however, a massive portion of these votes is fraudulent.

The Great Lakes Justice Center complaint provides “eyewitness accounts and direct evidence” that “approximately 40,000” unsecured, irregular ballots arrived in vehicles with out-of-state license plates at Detroit’s only vote-counting location, TCF Center, in the wee hours of the Nov. 4 morning during a shift change in election workers. Eyewitnesses signed affidavits saying that every one of this group of 40,000 ballots they saw “was counted orally and attributed only to Democratic candidates,” specifically Joe Biden.

Other eyewitnesses signed affidavits under penalty of perjury stating they saw multiple other piles of ballots, together additionally numbering in the tens of thousands, that were counted despite violating election law, sometimes at the direction of local election officials. This allegedly happened both before the election, during early voting, and during the election and subsequent vote count.

“After poll challengers started discovering the fraud taking place at the TCF Center, Defendant election officials and workers locked credentialed challengers out of the counting room so they could not observe the process, during which time tens of thousands of ballots were processed,” the complaint says. It also alleges:

“Defendant election officials and workers allowed ballots to be duplicated by hand without allowing poll challengers to check if the duplication was accurate. In fact, election officials and workers repeatedly obstructed poll challengers from observing. Defendants permitted thousands of ballots to be filled out by hand and duplicated on site without oversight from poll challengers.”

Yes, Biden and Harris Are Self-Declared Zionists, But a Glimmer of Hope Remains

As the U.S. and the world wait with anticipation for the Biden administration to take office, people with progressive agendas are feeling optimistic. Teams working on immigration, health care, and the environment, to name just a few, are already at work preparing to move the United States in a new direction.

The one progressive issue where there is little optimism though is Palestine. This is mostly because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are both self-declared Zionists and because there is a history of total U.S. support for Israel. But even though most American politicians are Zionists, Trump moving out of the White House presents a sense of a new beginning and should be used as an opportunity to change the paradigm on Palestine.

It can easily be demonstrated that Israel is a dangerous, even reckless state and that continued support for it only promises instability. Israel is an apartheid state that is already on the verge of collapse. With over two million men women and children locked up in the uninhabitable Gaza Strip, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian citizens of Israel in the Naqab living without access to water or electricity, crime on the rise, and political instability growing, Israel is likely to become even more dangerous than it is today.

Furthermore, the Netanyahu government is tightly connected to Trump. In fact, one could argue that Trump’s entire foreign policy regarding the Middle East and Iran were dictated by Netanyahu.

Reversing the Zionist agenda

Israel will, of course, vehemently oppose any reversal of the actions taken by the Trump-Kushner-Freedman trio. One may safely assume that Zionist organizations and agents in the U.S. are already hard at work with the Biden people to assure that no such reversal takes place.

Still, Joe Biden will have to show that he stands by some, if not all, of the foreign policy agreements that were reached during the Obama years and later abandoned by Donald Trump. He will likely have to do this even if it means Israel will be displeased. First and foremost would be a return to the Iran nuclear deal, also known as The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

The agreement with Iran was central to the Obama legacy, and Trump dropping out of the agreement pleased Israel to no end. A return to the agreement will cause friction between Biden and Israel but since the entire spectrum of Israeli politicians – the one exception being the Joint Arab List – made no secret of their support for Trump, one would hope that some political payback is forthcoming.

Biden’s foreign policy team will also have to deal with the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel and the consequent moving of the U.S. embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem, as well as the U.S. recognition of Israel’s annexation of the Syrian Golan Heights. Both were gifts to the Netanyahu government, both were diplomatic blunders that aided Netanyahu, and both will be difficult to reverse.

US – UK Intel Agencies Declare Cyber War on Independent Media

British and American state intelligence agencies are “weaponizing truth” to quash vaccine hesitancy as both nations prepare for mass inoculations, in a recently announced “cyber war” to be commanded by AI-powered arbiters of truth against information sources that challenge official narratives.

In just the past week, the national-security states of the United States and United Kingdom have discreetly let it be known that the cyber tools and online tactics previously designed for use in the post-9/11 “war on terror” are now being repurposed for use against information sources promoting “vaccine hesitancy” and information related to Covid-19 that runs counter to their state narratives.

A new cyber offensive was launched on Monday by the UK’s signal intelligence agency, Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), which seeks to target websites that publish content deemed to be “propaganda” that raises concerns regarding state-sponsored Covid-19 vaccine development and the multi-national pharmaceutical corporations involved.

Similar efforts are underway in the United States, with the US military recently funding a CIA-backed firm—stuffed with former counterterrorism officials who were behind the occupation of Iraq and the rise of the so-called Islamic State—to develop an AI algorithm aimed specifically at new websites promoting “suspected” disinformation related to the Covid-19 crisis and the US military–led Covid-19 vaccination effort known as Operation Warp Speed.

Both countries are preparing to silence independent journalists who raise legitimate concerns over pharmaceutical industry corruption or the extreme secrecy surrounding state-sponsored Covid-19 vaccination efforts, now that Pfizer’s vaccine candidate is slated to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by month’s end.

Pfizer’s history of being fined billions for illegal marketing and for bribing government officials to help them cover up an illegal drug trial that killed eleven children (among other crimes) has gone unmentioned by most mass media outlets, which instead have celebrated the apparently imminent approval of the company’s Covid-19 vaccine without questioning the company’s history or that the mRNA technology used in the vaccine has sped through normal safety trial protocols and has never been approved for human use. Also unmentioned is that the head of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Patrizia Cavazzoni, is the former Pfizer vice president for product safety who covered up the connection of one of its products to birth defects.

More on Georgia Water Main Break Scam on Election Day – There’s No Evidence to Show It Even Occurred

We reported yesterday that according to CBS WVLT8 absentee ballots in Georgia would not be counted counted on election night due to a water main break:

Nearly 40,000 absentee ballots will not be counted for the state of Georgia until at least Wednesday after a water main break, Fulton County officials said.

According to officials, a water main break at State Farm Arena caused a pipe to burst. The burst pipe was discovered around 6 a.m. Counting of the ballots began at 11 a.m.

WVLT8 also released a statement from the Secretary of State related to the incident:

Tonight Fulton County will report results for approximately 86,000 absentee ballots, as well as Election Day and Early Voting results. These represent the vast majority of ballots cast within Fulton County.

As planned, Fulton County will continue to tabulate the remainder of absentee ballots over the next two days. Absentee ballot processing requires that each ballots is opened, signatures verified, and ballots scanned. This is a labor intensive process that takes longer to tabulate than other forms of voting. Fulton County did not anticipate having all absentee ballots processed on Election Day.

After reporting there are no open records related to the reported water main break in Atlanta, others have reached out to us with more evidence indicating the whole story is a lie. One Atlanta native reached out and shared this:

I’m an Atlanta-area resident (Gwinnett County, which also had suspicious activity), thought it was very odd that the arena became a voting location to begin with, and ended up being the counting location for Fulton as well. When we held our primary elections in July (postponed from spring due to COVID), the voting in Fulton was an absolute debacle, with absurdly long lines in many locations in Fulton County.

Other counties didn’t seem to have that problem. I chalked it up to typical incompetence, but then the Atlanta Hawks popped up and offered their arena as a mega-sized voting location for the general election. I just wonder if it’s not another piece of the puzzle, pre-planned for the purpose it would serve.

This comment appears to jibe with another comment related to Election Day where one reader shared:

I was a poll watcher on Election Day at the Alpharetta library. The State Farm building leak was resolved before I left to go home at noon. I had no clue this is why they said they had to stop. I know for a fact the issue was resolved before 10am that day, no ballots were stored there and no equipment damaged. The poll workers were all being given updates on that location. So it’s impossible for this to be the reason Georgia stopped counting. I will swear to this in court.

A third reader shared that based on information at the water company, there were never was an 811 call logged to address a broken water main in the State Farm Building on Election Day.

What really happened on Election Day with absentee ballots in Atlanta? Who called about the water main break that day and planted this story in the news? Will authorities investigate and get to the bottom of this apparent fraud and the rationale for committing it?
