Attorney General Barr Might Step Down Before End of January, Reports Suggest

 

US Attorney General William Barr could leave his post before January 20, The New York Times reports, citing three anonymous sources.

 

Barr could announce his departure before the end of the year, one source told the newspaper in a Sunday article.

 

According to another source, the attorney general, a Trump appointee, had been considering stepping down since before last week.

 

All three sources told The New York Times that it is possible that Barr could remain in the post past January 20 as he has yet to make a final decision on his departure.

 

If Barr does step down before the end of January, US Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen would take over his duties.

 

One source told The New York Times that Trump has had no influence on Barr's mulling of a departure from his post as attorney general.

 

Trump acknowledged that the General Services Administration had initiated a formal transition of power to the Biden team in November, while continuing to dispute the outcome of the 3 November presidential election, claiming that there was massive fraud on the part of Democrats during the vote.

DOMINOES: Wisconsin Is Next State To Announce Public Hearings Into Election, Following PA, AZ, MI, and GA

 

Now that Wisconsin has certified the 2020 General Election for Joe Biden, Wisconsin decides they should investigate vote fraud and ballot tampering allegations

 

The act of certifying an election is the act of attesting to the validity and truthfulness of the information reported as the results of the election. Wisconsin’s decision to investigate vote fraud and ballot tampering allegations after having certified the election results is leaving may scratching their heads.

 

Wisconsin lawmakers announced this week they will hold a public hearing on the plethora of complaints alleging election irregularities including vote fraud, ballot tampering, illegal processing, and inappropriate regimens.

 

The Wisconsin State Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns & Elections hearing is slated to take place on December 11, 2020. State Rep. Ron Tusler (R), who chairs the committee, said the hearings will take place at the Wisconsin State Capitol.

 

Tusler said the committee will investigate the “numerous irregularities” with the 2020 general election. “The goal of the ongoing investigation is transparency,” he said. “Wisconsin voters deserve fair and accurately counted elections. I want you to know that their vote counted.”

 

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R), said the hearing demonstrate that Wisconsin lawmakers are, in fact, proceeding with an investigation into the many charges of vote fraud and ballot tampering given numerous reports that were brought forth.

 

“We must ensure that every legal vote was counted and begin working to eliminate questionable practices that undermine the integrity of the vote,” he said in a statement.

 

Vos tweeted that state lawmakers had to wait for the Wisconsin Supreme Court to rule on a lawsuit filed by President Trump’s legal team that challenged the election results. It was unclear why the state sought to certify the election results while multiple pieces of litigation are still pending.

 

The Trump campaign legal team filed a separate lawsuit last week, charging “unlawful and unconstitutional” actions occurred during several phases of the election and election tabulation process. It asked that the Wisconsin Supreme Court forward the matter to the state legislature.

 

State election officials – separate from the Wisconsin State Legislature – certified last week that they were officially recognizing Biden as the winner.

LI day care owner arrested after serious injury to infant

 

 

A Long Island day care owner was arrested Saturday after a 10-month-old boy was seriously injured at her business, police said.

 

Natalie Rose, 34, proprietor of Kiddie Academy in Bethpage, is accused of falsifying a state incident report after the Sept. 24 incident in which the infant did not receive the proper care, according to police.

 

The boy’s injury sparked a probe by the state Office of Children and Family Services, which uncovered Rose’s alleged wrongdoing, authorities said.

 

Police charged Rose with endangering the welfare of a child, falsifying business records and offering a false instrument for filing.

 

The day care owner must appear in court on Dec. 17.

COVID-19 Vaccine Takers May Feel Ill, So The Government Is Issuing Them Covid Papers Proving They’re Safe

 

Government and Big Pharma are facilitating one more step to making it all but required to be vaccinated for the COVID virus

 

Even as the debate over the potency of the COVID virus continues to be had, Big Pharma – in collusion with the federal government – is preparing to make it easier for the private sector to force you to be vaccinated for the COVID virus.

 

Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition, told reporters that will every COVID vaccination the recipient will receive a COVID vaccination card.

 

The rationale is that because the vaccine is a two-step vaccination – that will likely make many recipients feel ill for a few days with each dose, having the dosage and inoculation date in a “COVID ID Card” will be convenient.

 

The Immunization Action Coalition is a 501c3 non-profit organization and not directly funded or affiliated with any government department or agency.

 

“Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due,” Moore told reporters.

 

The Department of Defense, which will coordinate logistics for the dissemination of the vaccine, released the first images of a COVID-19 vaccination record card and vaccination kits on Wednesday.

 

“Vaccination cards will be used as the ‘simplest’ way to keep track of Covid-19 shots.”

 

This card will likely be the first form of “proof” for interrogation into your vaccination status.

 

We all saw this coming. https://t.co/ie8lhXplYT

 

— James Todaro, MD (@JamesTodaroMD) December 3, 2020

 

“For most COVID-19 vaccine products, two doses of vaccine, separated by 21 or 28 days, will be needed,” the CDC said in an issued statement. “Because different COVID-19 vaccine products will not be interchangeable, a vaccine recipient’s second dose must be from the same manufacturer as their first dose.”

 

Eerily, the COVID ID Cards are wallet sized.

 

The common fears associated with the implementation of COVID vaccinations include mandatory vaccination and the private sector’s ability to exclude individuals who have not been vaccinated.

 

Ticketmaster has already begun requiring proof of vaccination to attend their concerts and several airlines are on the cusp of requiring proof of vaccination to fly in their aircraft.

 

Many individuals either cannot or do not need the vaccinations.

 

Individuals who have pre-existing conditions that contraindicate the use of the vaccine could, in some cases, be putting their health in danger by exposing themselves to the vaccine.

 

Still others who have had COVID or who have naturally occurring antibodies established by other forms of coronavirus simply so not need the vaccine for their immunity.

Medical license of Oregon doctor revoked for questioning COVID-19, face mask efficacy

 

'Take off the mask of shame'

 

An Oregon medical doctor who allegedly dismissed the coronavirus as the "common cold" and blasphemed face masks by questioning their efficacy has now had his medical license revoked.

 

On Dec. 3, the Oregon Medical Board issued an emergency suspension to revoke Dr. Steven LaTulippe's medical license.

 

According to NBC News, the Oregon Medical Board took action after LaTulippe appeared at a "Stop the Steal" rally on Nov. 7 in Salem, Oregon, during which he dismissed the seriousness of COVID-19.

 

"I want you to know that I never shut down during the entire COVID season, from the time it was declared till now," LaTulippe said at the rally. "I hate to tell you this — it might scare you — but I and my staff, none of us once wore a mask in my clinic. And how many problems did we have in our clinic from that? Zero. Absolutely none."

 

"We have been utterly duped. And I want you to know that this is insanity and the purpose was only to shut down the American people," he continued. "Take off the mask of shame. It is a mask that is just to design to control and to shut you down."

 

Meanwhile, LaTulippe also stands accused of telling patients that face masks do not prevent COVID-19 transmission.

 

The Oregon Medical Board order against LaTulippe reads:

 

[LaTulippe] regularly tells his patients that masks are ineffective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and should not be worn. [LaTulippe] further asserts that, because virus particles are so small, they will pass through the recommended N95 masks and most other face coverings people are choosing to wear. [LaTulippe] directs patients to a YouTube video providing false information about mask wearing.

 

[LaTulippe] regularly advises, particularly for his elderly and pediatric patients, that it is "very dangerous" to wear masks because masks exacerbate COPD and asthma and cause or contribute to multiple serious health conditions, including but not limited to heart attacks, strokes, collapsed lungs, MRSA, pneumonia, and hypertension. [LaTulippe] asserts masks are likely to harm patients by increasing the body's carbon dioxide content through rebreathing of gas trapped behind a mask.

 

However, according to NBC News, LaTulippe has required patients with COVID-19 or those exhibiting symptoms of the virus to wear face masks.

 

"I'm very interested in sound medical practice, and I'm interested in good science," he said. "And when science and medicine become perverted with corrupt politics, then I'm up for a fight, and that's what made me go to that rally and say what I said."

 

The suspension of LaTulippe's license will remain "in effect until otherwise ordered," according to the Oregon Medical Board.

'We Do Not Consent.' The Crisis Caused by Politicians' Pandemic Hypocrisy

 

Angela Marsden is the proud owner of the Pineapple Hill Grill in Los Angeles. Now, with Los Angeles and the rest of California about to go into another lockdown, she’s had enough — enough of lockdowns, enough of the hypocrisy, and enough of the double standards.

 

New York Post:

 

“Tell me that this is dangerous,” restaurant owner Angela Marsden says into the camera as she gestures toward her Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill’s empty outdoor dining tables in the moving clip she published Thursday.

 

“But right next to me, as a slap in my face, that’s safe?” she goes on, gesturing across the street toward a film crew’s outdoor setup of tents and tables.

 

Her tables have been ordered to shut down under California’s ban on outdoor dining.

 

The video has gotten 8 million views since it went live on Thursday.

 

“Everything that I own is being taken away from me and they set up a movie company right next to my outdoor patio,” she complains. Marsden speaks for many small business owners being squeezed by unnecessary lockdowns and restrictions—people resisting public officials trying to control our lives. And especially, the hypocrisy of politicians and so-called political leaders threatening to arrest and prosecute people who violate their rules while blatantly breaking them.

 

PJ Media has been covering this rash of rule-breaking politicians. Victoria Taft wrote about Angela Marsden and her travails with the double standard. Bryan Preston detailed the infuriating story of Austin’s mayor making a video while on vacation in Mexico asking people to stay home (?) at Thanksgiving. And Stephen Kruiser wants to lock up Governor Newsom for his hypocritical attendance at a dinner party at The French Laundry.

 

When discovered, the politicians are always apologetic and offer humble pardons while begging forgiveness. Then they go out and slap more restrictions on the little people.

 

No matter what you think of masks or social distancing, if you’re going to impose restrictions on people’s movements and behaviors, you damn well better make sure that you follow them too. Otherwise, you get what we’re going to have from now until the pandemic has petered out: resistance, revolt, and civil disobedience.

 

Washington Examiner:

 

These hypocritical actions do not just diminish officials’ own credibility; they undercut confidence in the entire effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Already, public compliance with health officials’ guidance is waning. Nearly 40% of the people who said they avoided gathering in public spaces or with large groups of people are now doing both of those things more regularly, according to the Wall Street Journal. This pandemic fatigue was to be expected due to the prolonged nature of day-to-day restrictions, but it has been exacerbated by the government officials who choose to live by a different set of rules.

Mastercard Reconsiders Pornhub Ties Amid Child Abuse, Nonconsensual Violence Video Allegations

 

Adult video website Pornhub.com is facing allegations of having videos depict child abuse and nonconsensual violence. Mastercard Inc., which is tied to Pornhub's privately held parent company MindGeek, said Sunday that it would investigate the allegations.

 

Pornhub denies it has child abuse videos on its site. “Any assertion that we allow CSAM (child sexual abuse material) is irresponsible and flagrantly untrue,” it said in a statement emailed to Reuters.

 

The allegations come from New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, whose 3,700-word column on Friday noted that videos on Pornhub contained unconscious women and girls who were being assaulted.

 

"The issue is not pornography but rape. Let's agree that promoting assaults on children or on anyone without consent is unconscionable," the column reads.

 

Kristof wrote that Pornhub doesn’t filter its content, which includes material that might contain violence or any form of assault. He also called out banks and credit card companies that work with Pornhub.

 

"…I don’t see why search engines, banks or credit card companies should bolster a company that monetizes sexual assaults on children or unconscious women. If PayPal can suspend cooperation with Pornhub, so can American Express, Mastercard and Visa," Kristof noted in the column.

CoVid: A Manifesto for Communism, Fascism and Marxism

 

The Cancel Culture has just elevated itself to extreme radicalism. LA Mayor, Garcetti, has declared that all people should ‘cancel everything’. Existence is cancelled. Life is cancelled. According to Dr. Christina Ghally who has issued the dire warning of doom regarding available hospital beds, claims 12% of cases require hospitalization and beds will be full within days.

 

LA County claims roughly 403,000 total cases. That would equate to total hospitalizations of 48,000. LA County has 23,000 ‘licensed’ beds including ICU beds. According to their government health report, nonCoVid patients account for 10,000 beds and 1500 ICU beds. Other beds utilized where a patient is coronavirus related (ie, with 2.6 other underlying diseases) is 1257 and 456 respectively. 73% of the patients are Hispanic, and 2% are white.

 

Leaving 623 and 111 available. So what happened to the Math? 23,000 beds filled 11,500 nonCovid and 1713 with CoVid leaves nearly 9800 empty beds – 42.6% vacancy rate.

 

Staffed beds. Hospitals across the country have a massive staffing shortage. In addition, like El Paso, LA is taking in patients from Mexico, hence the hugely overstated rate of CoVid presenting patients representing 73% of all CoVid..

 

This isn’t the first time LA has misreported the hospital crisis. In June the same overwhelmed surge occurred as US citizens and immigrants flooded across the border – most calling 911 at the border entry point. LA County is 45% Hispanic – yet 73% of ‘Covid Related’ patients are Hispanic. The obvious disparity is not racist, or racial, it is Mexican patients taxing US hospitals. It isn’t gatherings. It isn’t shopping. It isn’t spas, or hair salons. It is immigrants.

 

The propaganda in reporting hysteria is core to the enforcement of Cancel Everything –

 

Michigan’s governor Whitmer is essentially utilizing martial law to lockdown her state. The orders come from the Health and Humans Services Department whose Director is Robert Gordon, an attorney. His bio affectionately claims that he was Obama’s ‘quarterback’, worked with Bill Clinton to establish AmeriCorps, and clerked for Ruth Ginsberg. One of his special affinities is working with children.

 

And today Governor Newsom is calling for a lockdown of ONLY small businesses and public schools. That way his children will still be educated and small businesses don’t have the legal power to go to battle.

 

Who are these people?

 

The rise of Fascism in Italy brought to power Mussolini who claimed the principles and writings of Georges Sorel were paramount in his forming his own philosophy. Particularly in the concept of ‘political myth’.

 

The function of political myth can be understood as following two components: (1) myth provides the theoretical argument, which is incorporated into an (2) ideology that supports the myth by providing a practical argument. In this, truth is unimportant.

 

Mussolini was quoted as stating: “Men do not move mountains; it is only necessary to create the illusion that mountains move.”

 

The illusions are designed to create an emotional response. In order to effectively rule, one must create panic or fear.

China’s new insult to Australia

 

China has not laid off taking pot shots at Australia. State-owned media has published a new cartoon about our relationship with the US.

 

Beijing has accused Australia of being a front for the US as tensions continue to flare following an inflammatory tweet.

 

In a new cartoon published by Chinese state-owned media, a kangaroo’s shadow on a wall is portrayed as being the US eagle.

 

The Global Times put out the image on Sunday along with an article about Australia’s ties to the US.

 

#Opinion: The world is increasingly aware that forming aggressive alliances is outdated. Countries who insist on following the US' baton to confront China have to know that it is they who place themselves in an awkward position. https://t.co/8a3Wd4rFDx

“It is clear to all that Australia has been the pawn in the US regional strategy in the recent years, especially during the Trump administration,” it states.

 

“In the US campaign to attack Huawei, Australia fired the first shot and then took credit for the US.

 

“When it comes to confronting China, Australia cannot claim to be the US’s number two ally.”

 

Australia last week condemned China’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian for posting a doctored image showing an Australian soldier slitting the throat of an Afghan boy.

Queen 'to get Covid vaccine in weeks': Monarch, 94, will 'wait in line' for over-80s roll-out with Prince Philip, 99, before revealing she has had the jab to boost take-up

 

Both Queen and Prince Philip will not get preferential treatment, sources said

It is understood they will instead 'wait in line' during the first wave of injections

Both expected to accept the offer of the injection on the advice of their doctors

Public health experts believe if couple go public it could combat misinformation

Feared that conspiracy theorists could lead to people refusing the vaccine

 

The Queen is expected to receive the Covid-19 vaccine within weeks – and then reveal she has been given it to encourage more people to take up the vital jab.

 

Senior sources say both the 94-year-old Monarch and Prince Philip, 99, will not get preferential treatment, but will instead 'wait in line' during the first wave of injections reserved for the over-80s and care home residents.

 

Both are expected to accept the offer of the injection on the advice of their doctors.

 

Public health experts believe that if the couple go public about the jab, it could go a long way to combating misinformation spread by conspiracy theorists which, it's feared, could lead to a substantial proportion of the population refusing the vaccine.

Iran Supreme Leader Khamenei hands power to son due to health – report

 

If true, it is unclear if the role is permanent, as it goes against the Iranian constitution's laws regarding succession.

 

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may have transferred power to his son amid concerns over his declining health, Iranian journalist Momahad Ahwaze reported Saturday.

Taking to Twitter, Ahwaze wrote in Arabic that sources in Iran were concerned regarding the 81-year-old leader's health, and those close to him are reportedly "very concerned" over his deteriorating condition.

As such, his powers have reportedly been transferred to his 51-year-old son, Sayyid Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, who currently oversees several important security and intelligence departments in the country. European sources have pegged Mojtaba as a potential successor to the supreme leader's position for over 10 years, and British news outlet The Guardian even dubbed him "the gatekeeper to Iran's supreme leader" in a 2009 article.

— M.Majed (@MohamadAhwaze) December 5, 2020

 

Ahwaze noted that it is unclear what has caused such deterioration in the supreme leader's condition overnight, though he did suspect it could be prostate cancer.

Khamenei's deteriorating health has also reportedly seen the supreme leader cancel some important meetings, such as a recently scheduled meeting with President Hassan Rouhani, according to Ahwaze.

Khamenei has been in power since 1989, having taken over following the death of the Islamic Republic's founder, Ruollah Khomenei. However, he has had health issues in the past, and in 2014 had surgery on his prostate. According to French news outlet Le Figaro in 2015, Western sources believed the supreme leader had suffered from prostate cancer.

No official confirmation has been made regarding any potential transfer of power, and media outlets have been unable to confirm it.

The Iranian journalist gained notoriety due to his coverage of the Islamic Republic's COVID-19 outbreak, despite Tehran's attempts at downplaying its severity, Newsweek reported.

If his reports are true, it would mean that Khamenei is stepping down following increased tensions with the US and Israel, as Tehran blames the Jewish state for the assassination of its chief nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, on November 27.

In addition, it is unclear if the succession will be permanent, as it goes against the constitution's rules regarding appointing a new supreme leader.

Belgian companies circumvent arms embargo to Turkey

 

A loophole in export legislation is allowing Flemish companies to export parts for aircraft involved in conflict in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, De Morgen reports.

 

In October last year, Turkey took sides in the conflict in Syria, backing Islamist jihad forces against the Kurdish minority. Flemish minister-president Jan Jambon reacted by freezing all Flemish government licences for export of military equipment to Turkey. At the time, that concerned four shipments of dual-use equipment – products which normally have civil applications, but which can be used for military ends.

 

But Flemish companies continue to deliver parts for the A400M, a military aircraft used by Turkey. The A400M is a project involving six NATO member states, among them Belgium and Turkey, and parts are not covered by Jambon’s embargo.

 

The trade has been important for Flemish companies, who have exported parts for the project worth €86 million since it began in 2013.

 

Turkey is not the only country using the aircraft, but it is the most concerning. Ankara has used the aircraft, according to the peace institute Vredesactie, to transfer jihadist rebels from Syria to new battlegrounds, including Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh. The A400M has also been used to transport arms from Turkey to Libya, in breach of another arms embargo.

 

In a reply to a parliamentary question from Annick Lambrecht (sp.a), Jambon admitted that exports of parts for the A400M fell outside the scope of his embargo. The parts are not delivered to Turkey but to the manufacturing plant in Spain. And they are not intended for aircraft destined specifically for Turkey.

 

“I can confirm that there are no exports of A400M-related spare parts to Turkey,” said Jambon, leading Vredesactie to call for a review of Flanders’ policy on arms exports.

 

“Generic permits are normally only intended for EU member states, but there is an exception for NATO allies, such as Turkey,” Bram Vranken of Vredesactie told De Morgen.

 

“The Turkish military actions in Syria, Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh show that this is not a country that can be exported to without any control. It is time to close this loophole in the legislation.”

Fake Assassination Of Top Mossad Agent Near Tel Aviv And Other Iranian Media Victories

 

On December 4th, a video and photographs were shared on Twitter, allegedly showing and attack in Tel’Aviv in which the Israeli Mossad commander Fahmi Hinawi was killed by unknown individuals.

— Ninnyd 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸 Waiting~4~the Revolution (@ninnyd101) December 4, 2020

 

 

Ultimately, Fahmi Hinawi is alive, the story and rumor about the death of the “Mossad agent” as a result of an assassination attempt, as it turned out, was originally spread by a journalist of the Iranian news agency Tasnim, after that the “sensation” was picked up by the Lebanese media.

 

In fact, the killed was an ordinary worker (not from Mossad) who became the victim of some sort of showdown.

 

Initially, the reports by Iranian media claimed the deceased is said to be a Mossad officer, shot in Tel Aviv after 15 bullets were fired at a car he was driving when he stopped at a red light.

 

The attackers reportedly quickly dispersed without a trace.

 

Several videos circulating in social media show a car stopped in the middle of the road and a heavy law enforcement presence. It is not possible, however, to clearly determine whether the video shows the exact moment of the alleged killing.

Reports on the alleged killing of Hinawi, along with social media user speculation suggesting an Iranian retaliation, come shortly after the leading Iranian nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was assassinated in a Tehran suburb last week, with Iran describing the killing as a “terror attack” and blaming Israel for the scientist’s murder.

 

An Iranian retaliation for the assassination of Fakhrizadeh is expected, tensions are at a breaking point in the Middle East, as a year from Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani’s assassination by the US is also nearing.

 

Diplomatic staff is being pulled from Iraq by the US, and there are reports of US President Donald Trump carrying out a “farewell strike” on Iran, and Tehran could potentially pre-empt it, or rather, respond to the killings.

 

This incident, however, is a killing of an individual of no specific affiliation, and the chance for it to be politically motivated is none.

 

Recently, Iranian-affiliated Hezbollah aired footage of Israeli bases in Upper Galilee, which were filmed by a drone.

According to al-Manar, the Hezbollah Air Force filmed it on the second day of the IDF’s “Lethal Arrow” large-scale drills, which were held in northern Israel.

 

This, and other Iranian claims for a day of reckoning for all of the attacks and assassinations by Israel and the US, are examples of the media victories that Iranian media attempts to perpetuate.

 

It is possible that Tehran even deems it suitable to utilize the almost exact copy of the AGM-41 Hellfire missile it recently unveiled.
