Chinese 'Influence Operation' Targeting Members Of Team Biden

 

Offering the latest hint that Joe Biden's newly adopted 'tough on China' stance might be hollow posturing, Bloomberg just published comments from a top US intelligence official unveiling the existence of an 'influence operation' targeting top members of team Biden.

 

The comments come just days after Biden and his team announced their nominees for top foreign policy positions, along with key appointments like Janet Yellen to Treasury and other economic-policy posts. They have been sourced to Bill Evanina, the director of an obscure but critical intelligence agency known as the US NCSC. The comment was reportedly made during remarks at the Aspen Cyber Summit, which has reliably generated newsmaking comments and headlines in recent years.

 

That Evanina's comments are even being picked up by the wires is almost surprising, considering that Bloomberg has a reputation for being soft on China for fear of compromising its terminal business.

 

But at second glance, it's obvious why: Evanina also insisted that the 2020 election was flawlessly done.

 

A former Bloomberg editor attested a few years back that they were stopped from publishing stories about the accumulated, hidden wealth of President Xi and his family members. When Beijing launched its purge of Western reporters earlier this year, Bloomberg wasn't hit nearly as hard as the NYT, WSJ and other American news organizations.

 

Continuing on the China theme, Evanina added that the world's second-largest economy is now "the existential threat we face" in the US.

 

Indeed, as President Xi's actions to punish foreign governments, as well as critics and dissidents both abroad and within its boarders, intensify, it's more important than ever that an American president can stand up to the Politburo, and hold his ground.

 

Will Biden manage that? It remains to be seen. But some of these reporters about his son's business activities (and purported influence-peddling) in China doesn't exactly bode well.

House Passes Bill Forcing Chinese Companies To Agree To Audit Oversight Or Delist From US

 

Not long after a top US intelligence official unveiled the existence of a Chinese intelligence operation, the House passed a bill that, should it become law, would force Chinese companies listed in the US to either adhere to strict American accounting standards, or delist and go elsewhere.

 

We've reported on the push to pass the bill several times. Trump made the issue a high priority this fall as election day neared. The bill targets a loophole that allows Chinese companies to essentially write their own rules when it comes to auditing, something that has led to literally dozens of corporate frauds that have cost American and international investors billions of dollars.

 

The collapse of Luckin Coffee and the CCP's bailout of Evergrande helped to underscore the fact that Chinese companies essentially play by their own rules, and if foreign investors get screwed, so be it.

 

But the Trump team made it a centerpiece of its late game push against China, and now the legislation has finally passed the Democrat-controlled House. It's in Trump's hands now, as GOP Sen John Kennedy, one of its authors, pointed out in a tweet. Though we suppose it's possible the US could strike some kind of deal with Beijing in the mean time.

 

Communist China is right now using U.S. stock exchanges to exploit American workers and families—people who put their retirement and college savings in public companies.

 

Today, the House joined the Senate in rejecting that toxic status quo UNANIMOUSLY. https://t.co/Zv6ukt8wP2

— John Kennedy (@SenJohnKennedy) December 2, 2020

 

The news has hit the offshore yuan; it has perhaps also stoked fears that the US might somehow miss out in the economic resurgence reportedly taking place in Asia, which has done a much better job of stamping out the virus than the rest of the world.

 

The surfeit of fraud-ridden Chinese firms created an atmosphere where short sellers like Citron Research and Muddy Waters Research minted reputations (and billions of dollars for themselves and their backers) as they rooted out evidence of fraud like a kind of hedfe fund blood sport.

 

These firms have collectively worked, along with others, to help expose innumerable frauds and misstatements from companies based in China. A movie, "The China Hustle", was even made about this very topic.

According to This Government, All Americans Are Terrorists, and Will be Treated as Such!

 

“History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

 

~ Martin Luther King, Jr. – “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” 16 Apr. 1963

 

We are all terrorists now. This is the new paradigm that has consumed this country. This is why a fake ‘virus pandemic’ has been successful in capturing the bodies and minds of the public, and why this blatant conspiracy based only on the total control of this entire population continues to be advanced with little resistance. The ‘new normal’ is not as it is described, and is not just the temporary disallowance of freedom; it is so much more. The idea that is being used as the major control measure of this takeover coup is fear; not fear from monsters from afar, but fear of each other. Every citizen is now considered a threat to every other citizen. Every citizen is considered a threat to the country, and therefore a threat to national security. What a brilliant scheme this is, but it is brilliant only in its deceit and indisputable malevolence. We are experiencing pure evil, an evil that is being used to pit all against all, turning a country once united into a country filled with hate and distrust.

 

The pre-planned 9/11 attacks were used in order to instill an illegitimate and ghastly fear of terrorists, and once this was accomplished, unholy wars against innocent countries were unleashed. This heinous act was not only used to vastly restrict the rights of Americans, especially considering mass surveillance, but it was a setup for the current virus conspiracy. Nothing that happens in government is natural, accidental, or organic, it is always by design. This should be evident to all, but is evident to only the very few with the desire and capability to think critically, and to question everything. Unfortunately, that leaves out most in this country today. Because of this, we now all face a life of tyranny and slavery brought about by needless fear, passivity, cowardice, and ignorance. The state is winning, and doing so without revolt.

 

There is no need to create a false enemy any longer, as now we have all been conditioned to consider our family, friends, neighbors, and countrymen as mortal enemies due to fear of a common cold. I have said on more than one occasion that the controlling top tier and their enforcers in government must be sitting in back rooms laughing out loud at the general population’s gullibility, and what idiotic orders they are willing to religiously follow. We have been told to not gather together, to not have parties, to not listen to live music, to not go to weddings and funerals, to not go to church, to not participate in art and theatre, to not enjoy any restaurant experience, to not travel, or get within six feet of any other human. In other words, we have been ordered to abandon all aspects of love and life. Recently, many have been ordered to not celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, treasures of this society, and been given ludicrous orders of behavior that defy logic and sanity. We have been told to not work, to give up our livelihoods, to imprison ourselves in our own homes, and to avoid all contact with older loved ones locked away in what are now state-controlled nursing home prisons. We have been told to wear deadly and worthless masks that hide all human expression while stealing life-giving oxygen, which causes much more sickness and death. The lockdowns and long-planned response to this manufactured false pandemic threat will kill millions upon millions of people, while the claimed killer virus is in reality non-existent, but then that is all part of the plot.

Gun Prohibitionists Exploiting Suicide to Advance Disarmament Agenda

 

“Gun advocates take the lead in embracing suicide prevention message,” The Oregonian reported Saturday. “Gun owners and health professionals are coming together to devise new solutions to the public health crisis of suicide.”

 

“The newly influential voices of gun owners in public health are changing the conversation — and not only in the Pacific Northwest,” the article explains. “In recent years, similar state coalitions have sprung up across the country. New Hampshire is the home of the original Gun Shop Project, a mix of firearm retailers, range owners, and firearm rights advocates who helped develop materials and training to prevent firearm suicide.”

 

Such coalitions can be a positive development, especially as the story recalls a show of hands at “a gun-control conference” where only two “health professionals” in an audience of 200 admitted to owning a gun. Introducing people whose exposure to guns is limited to people who know what they’re talking about has potential, assuming some may be open-minded and persuadable.

 

Just remember, people who are highly educated in one specialty can be just as “provincial,” uneducated, and biased as they accuse gun owners of being. That’s the main reason why medical doctors who pose as experts qualified to offer “gun safety” prescriptions need to be challenged to cite their credentials, and why those who have none but are instead parroting political talking points can be rightly dismissed as “gunquacks.”

 

While a commitment to educate about and reduce suicides is commendable, care needs to be taken to make certain it relies on reality and is not used to infringe on rights with due process-ignoring “red flag” confiscations and mandatory “lock up your safety” edicts – all enforced by men with guns who will use them if they’re not obeyed.

 

So naturally, the group that has once more reinvented itself as Brady United Against Gun Violence (to mask its original goal of banning handguns, then “controlling” them, and then presenting themselves as the arbiters of “gun safety”) has teamed with the “progressive” professional propagandists of the Ad Council to, as Rahm Emanuel put it, “never … let a crisis go to waste.” They’ve come up with a well-funded, multi-media “End Family Fire” campaign, that not only stumps for compulsory storage but also uses suicides to further the citizen disarmament agenda.

BLM Revolt: Local Chapters Want Answers on Finances, Transparency from National Leaders

 

Leaders of several local Black Lives Matter chapters around the U.S. said in an undated online statement that they want transparency about finances and other operations of the national group, Black Lives Matter Global Network.

 

The statement begins with questions about changes in the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, including the appointment of Patrisse Cullors as its executive director, the formation of the Black Lives Matter Political Action Committee, and another group, BLM Grassroots.

 

The local chapters signing the statement include Washington, DC, Chicago, Vancouver, Washington, and Philadelphia:

 

We, the undersigned chapters, believe that all of these events occurred without democracy, and assert that it was without the knowledge of the majority of Black Lives Matters chapters across the country and world.

 

We became chapters of Black Lives Matter as radical Black organizers embracing a collective vision for Black people engaging in the protracted struggle for our lives against police terrorism. With a willingness to do hard work that would put us at risk, we expected that the central organizational entity, most recently referred to as the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLMGN) Foundation, would support us chapters in our efforts to build communally. Since the establishment of BLMGN, our chapters have consistently raised concerns about financial transparency, decision making, and accountability. Despite years of effort, no acceptable internal process of accountability has ever been produced by BLMGN and these recent events have undermined the efforts of chapters seeking to democratize its processes and resources.

 

The statement said changes need to be made “in the spirit of transparency, accountability, and responsibility to our community, we believe public accountability has become necessary.”

 

The group then lists its grievances:

 

Patrisse Cullors, as the sole board member of BLMGN, became Executive Director against the will of most chapters and without their knowledge.

The newly announced formation, BLM Grassroots, does not have the support of and was created without consultation with the vast majority of chapters.

The formation of BLM Grassroots effectively separated the majority of chapters from BLMGN without their consent and interrupted the active process of accountability that was being established by those chapters

In our experience, chapter organizers have been consistently prevented from establishing financial transparency, collective decision making, or collaboration on political analysis and vision within BLMGN

For years there has been inquiry regarding the financial operations of BLMGN and no acceptable process of either public or internal transparency about the unknown millions of dollars donated to BLMGN, which has certainly increased during this time of pandemic and rebellion.

To the best of our knowledge, most chapters have received little to no financial support from BLMGN since the launch in 2013. It was only in the last few months that selected chapters appear to have been invited to apply for a $500,000 grant created with resources generated because of the organizing labor of chapters. This is not the equity and financial accountability we deserve.

 

The Daily Caller News Foundation reported on some infighting in June:

Dominion Software was Accessible to Far Left Indivisible Organizers on Election Night — An Obama-Linked Group That ENDORSED JOE BIDEN

 

On November 25th a 21-year-old electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence with experience gathering SAM missile system electronic intelligence signed a declaration of evidence for Attorney Sidney Powell in her investigation of the massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

 

The declaration from an active-duty military analyst was made public this week. The young analyst says that within five days of the election he/she was able to connect dominonvotingsystems.com, which is Dominion’s proprietary URL, to Belgrade, Iran, China — and Indivisible.org.

 

The US has a copy of the traffic and the packets of information that were sent to Germany on Election night!

 

On Monday the first expert at the Arizona State Legislature hearing with Rudy Giuliani was US cybersecurity expert Colonel Phil Waldron.

 

Col Waldron claimed that not only did the military’s ‘white hat hackers’ see the data flowing overseas to Germany on election night, they also have a copy of the traffic and and packets of data that were sent:

 

“Unapologetic and Unafraid”

 

I watched today’s hearing. Powerful! AZ needs to stop and take major corrective action as do many other states. Thank you @NatyLiy for bringing this to our attention. #DigitalSoldiers https://t.co/KSiJDFWmR4

 

— General Flynn (@GenFlynn) November 30, 2020

 

As Col Waldron testified foreign actors could manipulate the records.

 

It should be noted that Indivisible.org is not some local church group. ScorecardIndivisible.org is a radical far left group linked to Barack Obama.

 

The organization is a radical Trump-hating group that protests and smears President Trump.

 

And Indivisible.org even put up a video endorsing Joe Biden this year.

 

Why did this group have access to elections data on Election night?

Austin mayor tells constituents to stay home — from Mexico vacation

 

 

Austin’s Democratic mayor has joined the growing list of hypocritical elected officials refusing to follow their own COVID-19 guidance — urging his constituents to “stay home” while on vacation in the Mexican resort town of Cabo San Lucas.

 

In a Nov. 9 Facebook video message, Austin Mayor Steve Adler told residents in the Lone Star State not to travel amid surging coronavirus infections.

 

“Our numbers are increasing and everybody has to be aware of that and we need to, you know, stay home if you can,” he said.

 

“Do everything you can to try to keep the numbers down. This is not the time to relax,” he went on.

 

But Adler failed to mention that he was dishing out the advice from a vacation in Cabo San Lucas which he travelled to on a private jet, according to a report by ABC affiliate KVUE.

 

Adler confirmed to the publication that he was vacationing with eight people in Mexico after hosting his daughter’s wedding in Austin several days earlier and tried to defend the move, saying all of the guests had taken rapid COVID-19 tests.

 

KVUE reported that Adler’s daughter’s wedding, which was attended by 20 guests, also flouted coronavirus restrictions set by Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, which stipulated gatherings of more than 10 people be avoided.

 

In a statement, Adler apologized for setting a “bad example.”

 

“I regret this travel. I wouldn’t travel now, didn’t over Thanksgiving and won’t over Christmas,” he said.

 

California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was also forced to apologize after photos emerged of him enjoying a mask-less dinner with friends at posh Napa Valley restaurant French Laundry.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed dined at French Laundry day after Gov. Newsom

 

The dinner for 12 flouted his own coronavirus safety protocols where Newsom lectured Californians to don face masks and not to gather in larger numbers to contain the spread of COVID-19.

 

On Tuesday, it was revealed that San Francisco Mayor London Breed also dined at French Laundry just three days before banning indoor dining in her own city.

 

A mask-free House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D. Calif) was also filmed having her hair done in August in spite of local coronavirus rules barring indoor personal-care services.

 

In a briefing on Wednesday afternoon, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany railed against officials for not following their own advice as many Americans were told to stay home over the Thanksgiving holiday.

 

“Quite clearly, these Democrats do not follow their own edicts. They act in a way that their own citizens are barred from acting,” McEnany said.

 

“These images behind me makes clear Democrats’ mindset: ‘Rules for the, but not for me,'” she continued, showing images of Newsom at dinner and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot at a crowded rally celebrating Joe Biden’s election victory.

Pol detained trying to give legal help to defiant NYC pub in COVID-19 hotspot

 

 

Staten Island state Sen. Andrew Lanza was manhandled by sheriffs on Wednesday when he tried to offer pro bono legal help to a defiant bar that’s refusing to obey COVID-19 restrictions.

 

Lanza was surrounded and even physically restrained by deputies from the city sheriff’s office when he tried to force his way into Mac’s Public House — an owner of which was arrested Tuesday for repeatedly violating state coronavirus restrictions and obstructing authorities who tried to stop him.

 

Lanza told The Post he showed up to offer bar co-owner Daniel Presti his legal services — and even had to scratch out a legal agreement on a piece of cardboard when sheriffs said only a lawyer on retainer could enter.

 

“I got a piece of cardboard,” Lanza said. “I wrote out an agreement and basically said, ‘I offer you free legal advice if you want.’ I signed it. [Presti] came out and signed it.”

 

“The sheriff said ‘That’s good’, but then the lieutenant showed up. She said I needed an order from the court. That’s not true,” he continued.

 

“I couldn’t believe she was asking as if she was going to arrest me,” he added. “You’d think they had Charles Manson holed up in there, honestly.”

 

The Staten Island watering hole declared itself an “autonomous zone” free from state coronavirus restrictions that took effect last week as cases rose in the area, including a ban on indoor dining and a 10 p.m. curfew amid a resurgence of the virus.

 

Mac’s has been slapped with thousands of dollars in fines and the state Liquor Authority yanked the bar’s license — but remained defiant.

NYC bar in COVID-19 hotspot refuses to shut down after state yanks liquor license

 

Presti, who was released Wednesday, has gained supporters in the community, among them Lanza, who represents Staten Island in Albany.

 

“The virus is real and we need to protect each other,” he said. “But what people are protesting are the arbitrary and capricious edicts that are coming down from the state.”

 

“I’m speaking to why people are at their wit’s end,” Lanza said. “I’m speaking to the frustration that they routinely have when they’re closed and across the street is open because there’s no way that science says that we need to close that restaurant but we can open this one across the street.”
