Mitch McConnell Congratulates President-Elect Joe Biden on Senate Floor Despite Voting Irregularities and Fraud – His Wife Is Famous for Her Business Deals with China

Majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) congratulated President-Elect Joe Biden on the US Senate floor on Tuesday.

McConnell has never been a huge supporter of President Trump or his grassroots supporters. But he has been benefitted from President Trump’s popularity like every Republican in office today.

Senator Mitch McConnell: “The Electoral College has spoken … Today, I want to congratulate President-elect Biden.”

It’s not clear how McConnell supporting election fraud and Joe Biden will help the two GOP Senators in Georgia in their runoff elections in 3 weeks.

Twitter fined €450,000 under EU data privacy rules in world first

Social networking site Twitter has been fined €450,000 ($547,000) under the EU’s GDPR law in a world first, for failing to provide a timely report about a data breach that made some private tweets public.

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) slapped Twitter with the fine for infringing the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by failing to swiftly inform users about and ensure it documented a data breach.

The 2019 incident saw private tweets posted by individuals who used Twitter’s Android app exposed, due to a security flaw, when they made changes to the accounts, such as updating their email addresses.

In a statement, the Irish data watchdog said it had “found that Twitter infringed Article 33(1) and 33(5) of the GDPR in terms of a failure to notify the breach on time to the DPC and a failure to adequately document the breach”.

This is the first time such a fine has been levelled against a US tech company under the EU privacy law. However, there are currently more than 20 ongoing investigations into other companies, including Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. Twitter is also currently the subject of two further probes by the Irish DPC.

GDPR requires companies to report data breaches to the relevant authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident, to contact individuals who might have been affected by the situation, and keep a record of it.

Responding to the DPC decision, Twitter Chief Privacy Officer Damian Kieran said, “We take responsibility for this mistake and remain fully committed to protecting the privacy and data of our customers, including through our work to quickly and transparently inform the public of issues that occur.”

Ireland’s DPC had initially looked at ordering Twitter to pay a fine of €150,000 to €300,000, but decided to increase the punishment following arguments from Austrian, German, and Italian authorities that the original figure was not significant enough.

Depending on the severity of the violation, regulators are entitled to levy a fine of up to four percent of the company’s global revenue, or $22 million.

IT WAS SYSTEMIC-PURPOSEFUL FRAUD: Clark County Nevada Dominion Machines ALSO Kicked out “About 70% of Ballots” – It Was in the Settings!

In a huge development on Monday morning, Michigan Judge Elsenheiemer gave Attorney Matthew DePerno permission to release the results of his forensic study on the Dominion Voting Machines by IT experts with the provision that he make a few redactions, which DePerno claims were “minor.”

DePerno said the redactions were “not relevant,” and that the key part of the report has been released in his bombshell report.

From our report by Patty McMurray on Monday — After the forensic examination of 16 Dominion Voting machines in Antrim, Co. MI, Allied Security Operations Group has concluded that the Dominion Voting machines were assigned a 68.05% error rate. DePerno explained that when ballots are put through the machine, a whopping 68.05% error rate means that 68.05% of the ballots are sent for bulk adjudication, which means they collect the ballots in a folder. “The ballots are sent somewhere where people in another location can change the vote,” DePerno explained.

This was a very significant finding. The Dominion machines were set up to dispute 68.05 percent of all ballots. These ballots were then sent off to “another location” where people in other locations could change the votes.

This is election fraud.

And now it appears this was not an isolated incident by Dominion voting machines.

The same thing happened in Clark County Nevada — Las Vegas.

Clark County, Nevada election officials also HAPPENED to report an error scanning “ABOUT 70% OF BALLOTS”.🔻

Bipartisan Lawmakers Reveal Stimulus Details As McConnell, Pelosi Signal Progress

A bipartisan group of US lawmakers have finally revealed the details of their stimulus compromise, which will come in two packages totaling $908 billion.

The larger bill is a $748 billion package which would fund an array of programs that both sides agree on - such as a revival of federal unemployment payments, the PPP, and funding for vaccine distribution, schools, food aid, and other institutions drowning due to the pandemic.

The second measure, set at $160 billion, seeks to satisfy both sides with compromises on major sticking points - namely bolstering aid to state and local governments, married with a temporary COVID-19 liability shield for businesses, nonprofits, schools and hospitals according to the New York Times.

The relief plan would include additional unemployment assistance of $300 per week for 16 weeks.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had previously proposed scrapping the two sticking points in exchange for a narrow stimulus measure, while Democrats have pushed back against a corporate liability shield which they say might harm worker protections. Republicans, meanwhile, have long-held that bailing out states and local governments is simply a "blue state bailout" for poorly-run Democratic strongholds.

According to Politico's Jake Sherman, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin that Democrats are "still insistent on state and local aid," adding that the negotiators "want to file the omnibus spending bill today, and covid relief bill tomorrow."

McConnell, meanwhile, says it's time for the GOP and Democrats to find consensus on COVID-19 relief before the holidays.

A few Covid relief updates….

— The negotiators want to file omnibus spending bill today, and covid relief bill tomorrow.

more in Playbook PM out at 1ish

— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) December 15, 2020

Sherman is less confident that a deal can get done by Friday, when the federal government is set to run out of money. He suggests that the Friday deadline "seems tough, since all senators would need to consent for a quick debate and vote," but that the chamber might stay through the weekend for a short-term stopgap.

If Congress needs a short-term stopgap, then maybe the Senate would stay in for the weekend to get it done. In that scenario, would they give themselves longer to try to reach a Covid deal? Could the government shut down?

US Covid-19 relief package set to IMMUNIZE corporations from pandemic lawsuits, alarms worker advocates

A relief package being debated in Congress shields corporations from liability, forcing advocates for small businesses and workers to choose between aiding the needy and holding Big Business accountable.

The long-awaited second coronavirus relief package, revealed on Monday, is shot through with problematic aspects that favor large corporations, including liability protection if the employer was “trying to conform to public health standards and guidance.” Opponents have argued this means letting the rich get away with murder as long as they can claim they meant well.

The liability shield for corporations has been pushed by Republicans for months, even though the surge of Covid-19-related lawsuits predicted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his colleagues to justify such a measure has not materialized. Even the “compromise” version of the bill allows the Justice Department to prosecute lawyers who attempt to sue on behalf of clients exposed to the virus, a move likely to dampen any attempts by cash-strapped workers to hold their employers responsible.

Instead, corporations could only be held responsible in cases of “gross negligence” — a standard, worker advocates like the National Employment Law Project have claimed is almost guaranteed to “lead to more illness and death.”

Progressive outlet the Daily Poster agreed, warning the legislation copied nearly word for word the controversial measure passed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo earlier this year to shield his own government from responsibility for tens of thousands of nursing home deaths allegedly brought on by an executive order forcing the facilities to admit coronavirus-positive patients.

Replicating that paradigm nationwide would “shield employers and healthcare industry executives from legal consequences when their business decisions injure or kill workers, customers, and patients” during the pandemic, they warned on Tuesday. Former National Labor Relations Board official Michael Duff echoed the warning, stating that the proposed legislation would “substantially immuniz[e] businesses from risky conduct.”

As the clock runs out on Covid-19 aid, passed with March’s CARES Act bailout, lawmakers are scrambling to secure a second stimulus bill, but Democrats and Republicans have been unable to agree on most of what that bill should include. If the year ends without further relief, a sweeping eviction moratorium will expire, potentially throwing millions of Americans out onto the street, with unemployment benefits severely curtailed.

NYC mayor: Restaurants need to close, but everyone should ride the subway

Indoor dining is bad. Cramped spaces traveling underground are good?

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that subways are safe and encouraged New Yorkers to use mass transit on the same day he said the city should be ready for a full shutdown after restaurants were ordered to halt indoor dining amid a surge of coronavirus cases.

Speaking at his daily briefing Monday, de Blasio said, "it is important to let people know the subways are safe." Prompted by a reporter, he floated the idea of setting an example by riding the subway himself to show there's nothing to fear, similar to how he plans to publicly take the COVID-19 vaccine, the New York Post reports.

"I like the idea of having a period of time to really emphasize to people that they're safe, by being out there," he said.

Subway ridership dramatically decreased in the first few weeks of the coronavirus pandemic amid fears that being around other people in an indoor cramped space might increase spread of the coronavirus. But studies have shown that public transportation does not pose a significant risk of viral transmission.

"We have found out that the use of mass transit is not a singularly important factor in the transmission of influenza," Mitchell Moss, director of the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation, told Gothamist earlier this month. Moss is one of the authors of a New York University study that examined data from 121 U.S. cities over 10 years and found the number of people who died of influenza did not increase in cities with higher participation in public transit.

The findings were hailed by New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

"This is the latest in a cascade of scientific reporting that shows transit is not a vector for the spread of respiratory diseases, and there has been no serious evidence worldwide connecting transit routes and spread of this virus," said MTA spokesperson Meredith Daniels in a statement.

Though Mayor de Blasio endorsed the city subway system, he also warned Monday that his city should be prepared for another "full shutdown" to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Speaking with CNN's Alisyn Camerota, de Blasio cited growing numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations as cause for concern and the rationale for new coronavirus restrictions.

"We're seeing the kind of level of infection with the coronavirus we haven't seen since May, and we have got to stop that momentum — or else, our hospital system will be threatened," the mayor said.

The mayor's comments raise the question: If the whole city needs to shut down, who will ride the subway?

UK warns Facebook, Twitter & other social platforms to better protect users from harmful content or face huge fines

The British government has proposed new laws to better protect children online, which include giving the media regulator power to impose fines on social media platforms – or block them if they fail to remove illegal content.

“We are entering a new age of accountability for tech to protect children and vulnerable users,” Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden said on Tuesday, as the government revealed the details of its internet regulation plan.

The Online Harms Bill was first proposed by Theresa May’s government in April 2019. The legislation sets out strict guidelines covering the removal of illegal content, such as child sexual abuse, and media that promotes suicide or violence. Websites must obey the new rules or face being blocked in the UK, and the firms’ senior managers could be held liable for content.

Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter must abide by a new code of conduct that includes their responsibilities towards children. “We are giving internet users the protection they deserve,” Home Secretary Priti Patel said of the move.

We will not allow child sexual abuse, terrorist material and other harmful content to fester on online platforms. Tech companies must put public safety first or face the consequences.

The power to fine tech companies up to £18 million ($24 million) – or 10 percent of their global turnover – for breaking the rules will be given to British media regulator Ofcom, which could also be granted the power to block certain platforms from being accessed in the UK.

Online journalism and reader comments on news publishers’ websites will not be covered by the new rules, so as to allow freedom of expression.

Under a new two-tier system for social media, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter will be placed in ‘Category 1’ of tech companies with the largest online presences, who will be subject to more responsibilities than firms with a smaller online reach.

Facebook and Google have agreed to work with authorities on the regulations, and China’s video-sharing platform TikTok said it will strengthen online safety.

Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church received $4.4M COVID-19 PPP loan

Multimillionaire televangelist Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Texas netted $4.4 million in bailouts through the federal COVID-19 relief program, records show.

The Houston megachurch, the largest in the nation with 52,000 weekly congregants, received the forgivable Paycheck Protection Program loan in late July, the Houston Business Journal reported on Sunday.

The loan was the third highest in the Houston-area during all of July and August, the outlet noted, citing federal data.

Lakewood’s PPP check went to 368 full- and part-time employees, its spokesman David Iloff told the Houston Business Journal.

He said in-person services that were suspended from March 15 through Oct. 18, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, impacted “its ability to collect substantial donations during those services.”

“Believing the shutdown would only last a few weeks, Lakewood did not initially apply for PPP assistance during the first half of the program,” Iloff said in a statement. “However, as the shutdown persisted month after month, given the economic uncertainty, Lakewood finally applied for the PPP loan and has been able to provide full salaries and benefits including health insurance coverage to all of its employees and their families.”

He added, “It is important to note that, since 2004, Pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen have not received salaries from Lakewood Church, and the PPP funds do not provide any personal financial benefit to them, whatsoever.”

Osteen — whose sermons are seen around the world — is worth an estimated $100 million. He took the helm of Lakewood Church following the death of his founding pastor dad John Osteen in 1999.

The best-selling author came under fire in 2017 following accusations that he refused to open up his megachurch to Tropical Storm Harvey victims.

The Small Business Administration said its approved more than 5 million loans through the $525 billion program, which ended in August.

Recipients included small businesses — as well as thousands of churches and other religious organizations and private schools.

About 1,500 religious organizations in the Houston area were approved for PPP loans, with 20 receiving loans of more than $1 million, the Houston Business Journal said.

Cheeky Brits flag BBC & politicians after Metropolitan Police asks public to report ‘extremist views’

An appeal from the Metropolitan Police urging Londoners to turn in people suspected of having potentially dangerous opinions has backfired, after the message was flooded with George Orwell references and satirical ‘reports’.

In a tweet, the police force encouraged Britons to tell them their concerns “in confidence” if they become worried about someone they know “developing extremist views.”

The message included a link to an counter-terrorism initiative called Act Early, which urges individuals to contact authorities if “someone close is expressing extreme views or hatred, which could lead to them harming themselves or others.”

If you are worried about someone you know developing extremist views, #ActEarly and tell us your concerns in confidence.Trust your instincts and seek advice.https://t.co/2YnfYEWNvh#Preventpic.twitter.com/LMYtIkioAn

— Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) December 14, 2020

According to the site, signs of “radicalisation” include “An obsessive or angry desire for change or ‘something to be done’” and “spending an increasing amount of time online and sharing extreme views on social media.”

People are encouraged to call a hotline to share their concerns with specially trained officers. “You won’t be wasting our time and you won’t ruin lives, but you might save them,” the website states.

The Met’s Twitter PSA was met with considerable suspicion. Several replies made reference to George Orwell’s ‘1984’ and compared London’s cops to a modern-day thought police.

“Anyone reading a book you don't like, don't stand for it, report them to the authorities for wrong think,” reads one of many disapproving comments.

Gerard Batten, a former UKIP MEP, accused the police force of becoming increasingly authoritarian.

Yes, I am deeply concerned that your officer are being indoctrinated with hate against ordinary decent people who demonstrate & defend their freedoms& liberties. Your reputation is going the same way as the Gestapo, KGB & Stasi.

— Gerard Batten (@GerardBattenUK) December 14, 2020

“Your reputation is going the same way as the Gestapo, KGB & Stasi,” the ex-parliamentarian said.

But others were more playful with their criticism. Numerous Twitter users alerted the Met to “extremist views” being propagated by media outlets and UK politicians, including the BBC and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Biden Transition Leader Partnered With Chinese Military Think Tank, Worked Under Top CCP Defense Officials

Patrick Schaefe – a top member of Joe Biden’s transition review team – praised the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘One Belt and One Road’ initiative while suggesting the U.S. assist with the endeavor in addition to partnering with a Chinese military-linked think tank, The National Pulse can reveal.

Schaefer – who serves on the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative review team which also oversees the International Trade Commission and the Trade and Development Agency – previously served as an Eisenhower Zhi-Xing Fellow.

The fellowship is funded by VIPKid, an online learning service that enjoys an undisclosed amount of funding from Tencent, a Chinese Communist Party-linked technology firm flagged by the U.S. State Department as lacking the “ability to tell the Chinese Communist Party ‘no’ if officials decide to ask for their assistance.”

As part of the fellowship, Schaefer produced a video where he appeared to offer substantive advice to the Chinese government’s One Belt and One Road Initiative.

Party Partner.

Schaefer leveraged his Chinese Communist Party connections from his Eisenhower fellowship to partner with a Chinese state-run think tank with extensive ties to the People’s Liberation Army.

According to the Eisenhower site:

Patrick Schaefer (USA/Zhi-Xing ’18) forged a partnership with China’s premier government think tank, the Shanghai International Shipping Institute.

Schaefer produced research for the group which, used by “local, state and federal decision-makers” in the U.S. and China:

“Patrick’s center — the Hunt Institute for Global Competitiveness at the University of Texas, El Paso — produced research for the Shipping Institute that put the bi-national Paso del Norte region (which includes Texas, New Mexico and northern regions in Mexico) on the map as a major influential trade hub that is significantly impacted by recent trade wars between China and the U.S. The data will be used by local, state and federal decision-makers who are at the helm of opening opportunities that will strengthen economic growth in the U.S. and China.”

The Shanghai International Shipping Institute, however, retains many ties to the Chinese military and navy.

Its Deputy Director, Ge Jizhong, boasts about his “long military life” in his biography, as well as his service in China’s Ministry of Defense.

The institute also lists COSCO Container Lines Co. Ltd as one of the entities chairing its “founders council”.

COSCO Shipping is a controversial, Shanghai-based logistics company labeled as a “thinly veiled arm of the Chinese military” by a task force of the U.S. House of Representatives. Eleven of its 13 executives boast of high-level Chinese Communist Party affiliations on COSCO’s website.

A host of other Chinese Communist Party-linked entities such as the Ministry of Transport and Hongkou District People’s Government also lead the institute.

Influence and Access.

The Belt and Road initiative has been described by the U.S. government China’s attempt to “reshape international norms, standards, and networks to advance Beijing’s global interests and vision, while also serving China’s domestic economic requirements.”

“Through One Belt and One Road and other initiatives, China is expanding the use of Chinese industrial standards in key technology sectors, part of an effort to strengthen its own companies’ position in the global marketplace at the expense of non-Chinese firms. […] Given Beijing’s increasing use of economic leverage to extract political concessions from or exact retribution against other countries, the United States judges that Beijing will attempt to convert One Belt and One Road projects into undue political influence and military access.”

Schaefer, who’s latest employment is an Assistant District Attorney in New Mexico, praised the “aspiration” of the Belt and Road Initiative in a video produced for the Eisenhower Institute:

Georgia Secretary of State Orders Absentee Ballot Signature Verification Audit for Cobb County

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ordered an absentee ballot signature verification audit for Cobb County late Monday afternoon.

Raffensperger’s order came just hours after Democratic electors in Georgia cast 16 votes for Joe Biden in Monday’s meeting of the electoral college at the State Capitol. Earlier, Raffensperger certified that Biden secured a little less than 12,000 more votes than Donald Trump in the race for president in the November 3 general election in the state.

“Though the outcome of the race in Georgia will not change, conducting this audit follows in the footsteps of the audit-triggered hand recount we conducted in November to provide further confidence in the accuracy, security, and reliability of the vote in Georgia,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “I look forward to working with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Cobb County, and any other future partners to secure the vote in the Peach State.”

Raffensperger’s office reported:

Secretary Raffensperger first announced that following specific allegations that election workers in Cobb County had not adequately conducted signature matching on absentee ballot applications ahead of the June primary elections, the Office of the Secretary of State would partner with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to conduct an audit of the signature match in Cobb County. The audit will consist of reviewing a statistically significant subset of the signed absentee ballot envelopes and comparing those signatures to the ones on file in Georgia’s voter registration system.

“Conducting this audit does not in any way suggest that Cobb County was not properly following election procedures or properly conducting signature matching,” said Chris Harvey, Director of Elections for the Secretary of State’s office, who was formerly the Chief Investigator for the office. “We chose Cobb County for this audit because they are well known to have one the best election offices in the state, and starting in Cobb will help as we embark on a statewide signature audit. Just like Cobb County volunteered to be a pilot county for our new voting system, we thank everyone at the Cobb County elections office for their cooperation with this process especially while voting is underway for the runoff.”

The audit of Cobb County’s signature match system is expected to take two weeks. However, it will not change the outcome of the November election.

Raffensperger “also announced a planned statewide signature match audit,” but did not specify a timeline. In the statement, he said “The Office of the Secretary of State will partner with an accredited university to conduct a third-party signature match statewide audit study.”

The Republican Party of Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp, and Trump have been calling on Raffensperger to conduct a complete statewide audit of absentee ballot signature verification procedures in the November 3 general election for several weeks.

U.S. Bishops Say Catholics Have ‘Moral Responsibility’ to Be Vaccinated Against Coronavirus

Leaders of the U.S. Bishops’ Conference (USCCB) declared Monday that Catholics have a “moral responsibility” to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

“Receiving one of the COVID-19 vaccines ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community,” state Fort Wayne Bishop Kevin Rhoades, chairman of the U.S Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, and Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities, in a joint statement.

“In this way, being vaccinated safely against COVID-19 should be considered an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the common good,” the bishops state.

The risk to public health posed by the coronavirus is very serious, the bishops assert, “as evidenced by the millions of infections worldwide and hundreds of thousands of deaths in the United States of America alone.”

Moreover, “in many cases the most important effect of vaccination may not be the protection it offers to the person who receives the vaccination, who may be of relatively robust health and unlikely to be seriously affected by the disease,” they write. “Rather, the more important effect may be the protection it offers to those who are much more likely to be seriously stricken by the disease if they were to contract it through exposure to those infected.”

The bishops do not make a pronouncement regarding the obligatory nature of all vaccines for all diseases, or where a line might be drawn between vaccines that are optional and those that are morally compulsory. They do, however, offer their judgment regarding the seriousness of the coronavirus.

“The world is currently facing a health crisis,” the bishops state. “The number of deaths from COVID-19 is now almost one and a half million worldwide. In the United States, the toll is approaching 300,000.”

Along with their judgment regarding the morally binding nature of the coronavirus vaccine, the bishops also add an extended reflection regarding the permissibility of using certain vaccines whose germ lines were originally obtained from the cells of aborted human fetuses.

“Given the urgency of this crisis, the lack of available alternative vaccines, and the fact that the connection between an abortion that occurred decades ago and receiving a vaccine produced today is remote, inoculation with the new COVID-19 vaccines in these circumstances can be morally justified,” they declare.

According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in September, about half of U.S. adults (51 percent) say they would definitely or probably get a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 if it were available.

The other half of American adults (49 percent), however, said they definitely or probably would not get vaccinated at the time.

Back in May, intent to get the COVID-19 vaccine was much higher, with 72 percent saying they would get a vaccine when it becomes available.

Knowingly

EU Fishermen Threaten to Blockade Ports If No Deal Ends Their Fishing Claims

A French fisheries chief has threatened to blockade British goods at European ports if continental fishermen are no longer allowed to plunder Britain’s lucrative fishing waters in the event of a no-deal Brexit on January 1st.

The UK is set to leave the EU’s institutions at the end of the transition period on December 31st, 2020. While the UK has said she would regain full control of her territorial waters after Brexit, negotiating short-term licences for fishing rights to EU countries, Brussels has demanded continued access similar to the current Common Fisheries Policy.

The bloc is holding up agreeing on a post-Brexit deal on key issues including permanent fishing allocations, but if there is no deal by the end of the year, all territorial waters revert automatically to British control, regardless.

Dimitri Rogoff, the head of regional fisheries in Normandy, has threatened that in such an event, Frenchmen would blockade their country’s ports to British imports, adding that he believed Belgian and Dutch fishermen would follow suit, according to The Times on Tuesday.

“If we are deprived of our fishing grounds, we will not watch the British supply the French market,” Mr Rogoff told the radio network franceinfo.

“There will therefore be blockages to ferries, since this mainly happens by ferries. And on that, we are quite clear and determined.”

These are not idle threats, as French fishermen have attacked British boats in the past, namely during the 2018 Scallop Wars. More recently in October, the French threw flares and frying pans at British vessels which were legally fishing in French waters off the Normandy coast.

A surge of European industrial super travellers is also causing havoc in British waters in the weeks leading up to the end of the transition period, resulting in the deaths of marine mammals, such as dolphins.

Merkel Rejects Boris Plea for Direct Talks, Wants to ‘Make Britain Crawl Across Broken Glass’ https://t.co/8UNpnERAYJ

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) December 14, 2020

The fisheries chief made the remarks in response to the report last week that the Royal Navy was preparing to deploy River Class offshore patrol vessels to protect the UK’s exclusive economic zone in the event that European fishermen attempt to illegal plunder Brexit Britain’s stock.

On Monday, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace articulated his support for the plans, telling The Telegraph: “We will be there to make sure we protect our fishermen because they have the right and deserve to be protected as well as going about their lawful business.”

Mr Wallace had earlier told “our European friends” during a trip to Estonia that “any ship that enters sovereign waters should follow the rule of law”.

“Whatever happens in negotiations we must respect each other’s sovereign waters and indeed follow the rule of law and behave peacefully,” he added.

Sources speaking to The Telegraph yesterday also said that the bloc’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, told EU ambassadors during a closed-door meeting that a trade deal could be agreed this week — if Britain surrendered her waters.

Cross Channel sources are also split on whether progress on a deal could be made, with an EU diplomat telling the newspaper “there might now be a narrow path to an agreement visible” — while a British source said that “talks remain difficult and we have not made significant progress in recent days”.

British sources have also warned, however, against making any agreement that could keep the UK subject to the EU’s rules, with one saying: “The UK can not be locked into the EU’s regulatory orbit.”

Pakistani Migrant Accused of Drugging and Raping Minors

A Pakistani migrant drug dealer in Athens has been accused of taking two teenaged girls prisoner before drugging them both and raping one in his apartment.

Police stated the girls, Greeks aged 16 and 17, had claimed that the man had held them captive in his fifth-floor apartment and had threatened them with violence, saying he would kill them if they tried to leave.

According to a report from Greek newspaper Proto Thema, the migrant raped one of the girls, while violently assaulting the other.

Eventually, the pair managed to escape and ran down a street shouting for help in the early hours of Monday. Police found the teens, who were being pursued by the half-naked man. Officers then subdued and arrested the drug dealer.

During a search of the apartment, police found 49 packages of cannabis, 70 pills of the date-rape drug Rohypnol, and an undisclosed amount of heroin. Police believe the man sold the drugs on the streets of Athens.

The case comes just weeks after Greek police in the capital undertook a manhunt for another migrant, also believed to be Pakistani, who raped a woman while wrapping a thick metal chain around her neck to subdue her.

The two men, aged 25 and 29, kept the teen captive for around 24 hours and forced him to contact his uncle living in Spain, demanding he send the two men cash. They then filmed themselves stripping boy naked and threatening to publish the footage if they were not paid.

London’s Khan: Make Public Wear Masks Outside, Don’t Relax Corona Rules For Christmas

London mayor Sadiq Khan is calling on the government to force the public to wear masks in public, to shut down secondary schools, and cancel Christmas

Mayor Khan, of the left-wing Labour party, published a statement demanding “regular asymptomatic testing [be] extended to all those unable to work from home and to [pupils] and staff at London’s secondary schools, sixth-form college and FE [Further Education] colleges,” adding that “Face coverings should also be made mandatory in busy outdoor public spaces, given the numbers on our high streets in the run-up to Christmas.”

Ironically, Mayor Khan may have helped to exacerbate the Chinese virus’ initial spread through the capital earlier in the year, having urged people to continue using the London Underground subway metro, or Tube, as late as March 3rd, insisting there was “no risk in using the Tube or buses or other forms of public transport, or going to a concert” in a televised interview. Britons were subsequently warned against using public transport by the government.

Mayor Khan also said that, due to what he claimed were “significant outbreaks among 10 to 19-year-olds”, the Conservative-led central government “must consider asking schools and colleges to close early and re-open later in January, with extra resource provided to support online learning.”

The leftist politician had hoped that such measures might stop London from being moved into Tier 3 lockdown, but to no avail, with ministers confirming that the capital and parts of Essex and Hertfordshire will be subjected to harsher restrictions from Wednesday.

Khan lamented that the move would be “catastrophic” for the hospitality sector, in particular, with “hundreds of thousands of Londoners losing their jobs” a real possibility — but added that, nevertheless, “Londoners must keep following the rules.”

“So many pubs, restaurants, bars, cafes and hotels, having invested so much to make their venues safe, are only just clinging on by the skin of their teeth but will be forced to take another huge hit,” complained Kate Nicholls, chief executive of the UK Hospitality trade body.

“The burden of a region being moved into tier 3 falls almost exclusively on hospitality businesses. It is an illogical tactic that fails to tackle Covid effectively but does push businesses closer towards failure,” she added.

While expressing concern at times for the hospitality industry in London, Mayor Khan followed those comments up with a message for the government on Tuesday, that coronavirus restrictions shouldn’t be relaxed over Christmas.

Traditionally an important time of the year for British people, Boris Johnson’s government has allowed a limited number of exemptions to the ongoing coronavirus ‘tiers’ lockdown on Christmas day, with the attached condition that Britain will have to lockdown harder in January to make up for it. This doesn’t go for enough for Mayor Khan, however, who told the government on national television: “What I’d say to the government is I’m not sure you’ve got it right, in fact I’m sure you haven’t got it right in relation to the relaxations over Christmas”, reports Sky.

Even if the government did not heed his advice, Mayor Khan used his television soapbox to urge the public to voluntarily isolate themselves at Christmas, even if the government gave a dispensation to see family. He said: “If they don’t change the rules, my message to your viewers is we’re under no obligation to do all that’s allowed, there’s no reason you have to kiss or hug an older relation.”

Kamala Harris Pushes Gun Control ‘To Keep Our Children Safe’

Kamala Harris remembered the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary attack by pushing gun control “to keep our children safe.”

On Monday she tweeted:

Today marks 8 years since 20 first-graders and 6 educators were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

To honor the lives lost in this terrible tragedy, it’s past time we implement common-sense gun safety reforms to keep our children safe. pic.twitter.com/YmsIWM6dDG

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) December 14, 2020

The “common-sense gun safety” being pushed for the Biden administration includes a ban on the sale of firearms which Democrats label “assault weapons,” as well as a ban on “high capacity” magazines, and the implementation of universal background checks.

These types of gun controls have been pursued by Democrats like Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) at the federal level for years and they have been in place in New York since 2013.

In New York City, the laws are correlating with gun violence at record levels. Despite the bans and background check requirements, shootings are on track to break a 14-year high in Mayor Bill de Blasio’s (D) NYC.

When the heinous attack on Sandy Hook Elementary occurred, teachers and staff were unarmed, and there were no armed resource officers on campus. In fact, the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission concluded the attacker had over nine minutes inside the school without armed resistance.

But on April 13, 2019, Harris made clear her position that teachers should get a raise rather than a gun.

One of the “gun safety” pledges of the incoming Biden administration is to “prohibit the use of federal funds to arm or train educators to discharge firearms.”

The Biden campaign page says, “We should be passing rational gun laws, not requiring educators who already have too much on their plates to also protect the safety of their students.”

Biden's office warned in 2015 that Ukrainian oligarch who hired son Hunter was deemed corrupt

Newly released memo shows U.S diplomat revealed DOJ assisted earlier effort to pursue Burisma Holdings chief.

Vice President Joe Biden's office was warned in 2015 that the Obama State Department believed the Ukrainian gas oligarch whose firm hired Hunter Biden was corrupt and that some of the evidence supporting that conclusion had been gathered by the U.S. Justice Department, newly released diplomatic memos show.

Then-U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt in Kiev alerted Biden's top advisers to the concerns about Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky shortly before the vice president visited with Ukrainian officials in December 2015.

"I assume all have the DoJ background on Zlochevsky," Pyatt wrote in an email to top Biden advisers in the White House. "The short unclas version (in non lawyer language) is that US and UK were cooperating on a case to seize his corrupt assets overseas (which had passed through the US)."

File

PyattBedingfieldEmail12-6-2015.pdf

Pyatt added that the asset forfeiture case "fell apart" when individuals in the Ukrainian prosecutor general's office "acted to thwart the UK case."

The memos were released last week by Senate committees investigating Hunter Biden's global business dealings.

By the time Pyatt had written the email, one of his deputies in the Kiev embassy, George Kent, had already alerted the FBI that State officials believed Ukrainian prosecutors had been paid a $7 million bribe to thwart the asset forfeiture case. Kent recounted his efforts in an email to a fellow ambassador a year later.

File

KentYaremaAug292016.pdf

A year later, Pyatt's successor as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, wrote her superiors in Washington that the American embassy believed Burisma had paid another bribe in the form of cheap gas to get Ukrainian prosecutors to drop remaining cases against the gas firm.

File

BurismaYovanovitchBribe1.pdf

Pyatt's email, dated Dec. 6, 2015, was sent to Kate Bedingfield, Biden's then-communications chief, Michael Carpenter, one of his security advisers, and Amos Hochstein, the vice president's energy adviser for the region.

Bedingfield was appointed recently by Biden to serve as White House communications chief if he assumes the presidency on Jan. 20.

Pyatt's communication provides the clearest picture to date of what Biden's inner circle knew — and what the vice president should have known — about U.S. officials' concerns about Burisma and Zlochevsky and the heartburn they felt about Hunter Biden's position with the firm.

SEN JOHNSON on HANNITY: Joe Biden Lied to the Public About Ties to Communist China

Speaking during his opening monologue on ‘Hannity’ Monday night, Sean weighed-in on the escalating corruption scandal surrounding Hunter Biden; asking of the Biden family is “compromised” by China, the Ukraine, or Russia.

“Zero experience Hunter asked for keys to be made for his ‘office mates’ for space he planned to share with a Chinese business partner,” said Hannity. “Are the Bidens compromised when it comes to China? Ukraine? Russia?”

“I wonder if these countries have copies of Hunter’s laptop. It’s all been hidden from the public. Why was the Senate not made aware of this? Why was all the relevant information not part of the Impeachment trial?”

AIR BIDEN? Secret Service Reportedly Provided Security for Hunter Biden on 400+ Trips

An explosive report from JustTheNews.com is shedding new light on Hunter Biden’s dealings during the eight years of the Obama administration; showing the Vice President’s son was provided a Secret Service security detail on hundreds of flights.

“Hunter Biden has already made headlines with his pursuit of global business, raising questions about conflicts of interests by landing lucrative deals in Ukraine and China while his father Joe was vice president,” reports JustTheNews.com. “And now it’s his proclivity for globetrotting travel that is garnering attention.”

“The son of the former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential nominee in waiting used Secret Service protection on at least 411 international and domestic trips during the Obama years, according to records released this month under the Freedom of Information Act to the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch,” adds the website.

“Given the Burisma-Ukraine-China influence peddling scandals, Hunter Biden’s extensive international travel during the Obama-Biden presidency, including at least 5 trips to China, will raise additional questions,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said after releasing the records.

WI Supreme Court Rules State Did Not Have Authority to Abandon Voter ID Rules Due to COVID

Wisconsin election officials made a terrible judgment call, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court has confirmed it

Local Wisconsin election officials made a terrible judgment call, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court has confirmed it. On Monday the Court ruled “that state and local election officials erred when they gave blanket permission allowing voters to declare themselves homebound and skip voter ID requirements in the 2020 election” reports Just the News.

The error resulted in the opportunity for Republicans to challenge “tens of thousands of ballots.” COVID-19 shutdown mandates, in other words, were not justification for skipping voter ID requirements to vote absentee. “we conclude that both the contention that electors qualify as indefinitely confined and solely as the result of the COVID19 pandemic and the declared public health emergency and the declared public health emergency and the contention that Wis. Stat. § 6.86(2)(a) could be used for those who ‘have trouble presenting a valid ID’ are erroneous because those reasons do not come within the statutory criteria” the court ruled.

In summation, the majority ruling concluded that local officials like Dane County and Governor Tony Evers’ “Emergency Order #12 did not render all Wisconsin electors ‘indefinitely confined,’ thereby obviating the requirement of a valid photo identification to obtain an absentee ballot.” Therefore, Evers did not have legal authority to issue the executive order earlier this year exempting all voters to get an absentee ballot without an ID.

Just the News reports that court filings show nearly 200,000 voters declared themselves permanently confined for the state’s primary in the spring, and even more people did for the general election. “The ruling opens the doors for Republicans to potentially challenge those votes if it can be shown the voters weren’t sick or elderly as required by the law.”

“That’s An 8500% Markup”: Doctor Goes Viral On Twitter After Sharing A Thread About How Retail Pharmacies Put A Ridiculous Markup On Medicine

We’ve all heard a thing or two about the American healthcare system. To put it simply—it’s probably not the best system in the world. People who get ill are sometimes left with huge debts, it costs hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars to call an ambulance, and they can even charge you for “skin to skin” contact when you give birth to your child. Talk about unfair!

When it comes to medicine, the situation seems even direr. Recently, Emily Porter, a doctor based in Austin, Texas, shared an infuriating Twitter thread about the cost of drugs and ridiculous markups on medicine. Scroll down below to read it!

Uber is facing $59M fine from California regulators and could be shut down if it does provide information on 6,000 sexual assault and harassment claims filed by drivers and riders

Uber has been threatened with a $59 million fine if it does not provide detailed information on sexual assault cases and harassment claims among its drivers and riders within 30 days, in the latest round of a year-long battle.

California's Public Utilities Commission, which regulates ride sharing, announced on Monday that the Silicon Valley company could be forced to stop operations if it does not meet their deadline.

Uber has argued that they want to protect victims' identities, and fear what would happen if they hand over details.

That concern was dismissed on Monday by Robert Mason, an administrative law judge with the California Public Utilities Commission, who said Uber's concerns about violating privacy were 'premature' since the information would be filed under seal.

Mason found that Uber had 'multiple continuous offenses' that violated several previous rulings on the issue from the agency.

The scale of the problem was revealed a year ago, when Uber published an 84-page report that said it had received about 6,000 reports of sexual assault and harassment in the United States in 2017 and 2018, including 464 rapes.

About a fifth of those, or 1,243, were in California.

Regulators want to investigate those cases, so they asked Uber to describe each claim from 2017 to 2019, including names and contact information for witnesses, victims and Uber employees who received the reports.

Uber's refusal to hand over the names and contact details has been supported by some sexual assault advocacy organizations.

Uber would not say how they intend to respond to Monday's order, and said that they are considering their next steps, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The tech giant said in a statement that they remained opposed to the 'shocking violation of privacy' the authorities were demanding.

Uber said the regulator 'has been insistent in its demands that we release the full names and contact information of sexual assault survivors without their consent.'

Monday's order said Uber should work with the agency staff 'to develop a code or numbering system as a substitute for the actual names and other personally identifiable information requested.'

'Now, a year later, the CPUC has changed its tune: we can provide anonymized information - yet we are also subject to a $59 million fine for not complying with the very order the CPUC has fundamentally altered.'

They said that the Commission's actions would discourage other companies from publishing their own reports into harassment claims, like Uber did in December 2019.

'These punitive and confusing actions will do nothing to improve public safety and will only create a chilling effect as other companies consider releasing their own reports,' Uber said.

'Transparency should be encouraged, not punished.'

In Uber's report last year, they found that about 92 per cent of the victims were riders and roughly 7 per cent were drivers.

Women and female-identifying individuals comprised 89 per cent of the victims, while men and male-identifying individuals made up about 8 per cent.

In 2017, Uber recorded 2,936 reports of sexual assault during a total of one billion trips throughout the United States. There were 3,045 reported sexual assaults the following year during 1.3 billion total trips.

'I suspect many people will be surprised at how rare these incidents are; others will understandably think they're still too common,' Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said of the new report via Twitter.

'Some people will appreciate how much we've done on safety; others will say we have more work to do. They will all be right.'

During 2017 and 2018, 19 people died in physical assaults that occurred in Uber-related incidents. There were also 107 motor vehicle fatalities from Uber-related crashes in the same time frame.

Up To 75% Of Israelis Refusing To Get Vaccinated In Coming COVID Vaccine Holocaust

Despite the relentless COVID propaganda in the Israeli press — including Prime Minister Netanyahu allegedly agreeing to be the first in Israel to be vaccinated — the vast majority of Jews in Israel do not plan to get the COVID vaccine when it becomes available to the public in late December:

Israelis who choose to get vaccinated against coronavirus will receive “free movement” waivers, allowing them to bypass certain health restrictions, the Health Ministry has said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last week that Israel will begin administrating coronavirus vaccinations on December 27 and that Israel was ready to vaccinate 60,000 people a day. Thousands of doses of the Pfizer vaccine arrived in Israel last week via special charter flights.

The so-called “green passports” will be handed out only after the second shot is administered since Pfizer vaccine requires two jabs in order to be effective.

Holders of the passports will be able to attend public events and eat at restaurants among other things, Health Ministry Director-General Chezy Levy told Channel 12 on Sunday.

They will also not be required to enter mandatory quarantine after contact with a confirmed patient or after returning from a “red country” abroad. Those travelling will also not be required to take a mandatory COVID-19 test before leaving the country.

Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, meanwhile, told Channel 13 the idea behind the plan was not to grant privileges to the “green passport” holders, but to make sure they can engage in activities that are potentially dangerous for those who had not been immunized.

Recent polls reveal 50% to 75% of Israelis are unwilling to take the jab, mostly due to concerns over how fast it had been developed.

The Health Minister is lying — of course the idea behind the “vaccine passports” is to incentivize people into getting these untested and potentially deadly vaccines — Bill Gates all but admitted that has been the plan all along.

And from the average Israeli’s perspective, their families “survived” the so-called “Holocaust”, including grotesque “medical experiments” at the hands of Josef Mengele — along with having their gold teeth stolen from them by the Nazi dentists to fund Hezbollah — so they aren’t about to die in a real Holocaust with these deadly vaccines.

Trump: Audit of Dominion Machines in Antrim County ‘Shows Massive Fraud’

The preliminary report of an audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines in a county in Michigan is big news and shows the election results are wrong, President Donald Trump asserted Tuesday.

“This is BIG NEWS. Dominion Voting Machines are a disaster all over the Country. Changed the results of a landslide election. Can’t let this happen,” Trump wrote in a social media statement, sharing a post that included the report.

In another, he wrote that “many Trump votes were routed to” Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, adding: “True all over the Country. This Fake Election can no longer stand. Get moving Republicans.”

In an initial post about the report on Monday, Trump said it “shows massive fraud.”

The report in question alleged that Dominion’s voting system “is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”

“The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified,” Russell Ramsland Jr., co-founder of Allied Security Operations Group, wrote in the document.

Ramsland and others inspected and performed forensic duplication on the county’s election management server, which was running Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5.3-002. They also obtained flash cards and USB sticks.

The examination was approved by 13th Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer earlier this month. The judge on Monday agreed to remove a protective order that had been blocking the public release of the report, as long as code that it contained was redacted for the time being.

Trump praised the judge, calling him “highly respected.”

“Thank you for the genius, bravery, and patriotism of the Judge. Should get a medal!” he added.

State officials challenged the report. In a court filing, Michigan Elections Director Jonathan Brater said it “attributes changes in reported vote totals, all of which appear to be a result of human error and which appear to have been identified and corrected during the county canvass, to alleged ‘intentional’ design elements in Dominion Voting Systems, without explicating why this would be the explanation.”

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel alleged the report lacked “credible evidence in widespread fraud or wrongdoing.”

Dominion hasn’t responded to requests for comment.

Trump’s lawyers had hyped the report before it was published, with one, Jenna Ellis, calling it “incredibly important to the election integrity effort as a whole.”

Biden has declared victory in the election. On Monday night, he alleged voter fraud did not occur in the Nov. 3 election and called on Trump to concede.

Trump and his campaign are contesting results in key battleground states and say the election is not over. The Epoch Times isn’t calling the race at this time.

Yale Study Pre-Emptively Blames Coronavirus For Auto-Immune Diseases That Will Be Caused By The Vaccine

Vaccine manufacturers are well aware that their vaccines induce auto-immune responses — tricking the immune system into attacking healthy body tissues — so in order to cover up all the new auto-immune diseases that will occur in people who get the dangerous COVIC vaccine, a new study from Yale is offering pre-emptive blame for those auto-immune diseases on the coronavirus itself:

The research has not yet been published or peer-reviewed.

“COVID-19 patients make autoantibodies that actually interfere with immune responses against the virus,” Aaron Ring, an immunobiologist at Yale University and senior author of study, told the Guardian in a report published Sunday.

The result can damage the body, including the brain, blood vessels, and liver, areas that have been seen to suffer in those with symptoms of what has become known as “long COVID” — continued illness, fatigue or breathlessness in those who were infected and then recovered from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Ring worked with Akiko Iwasaki, a professor of immunobiology at Yale, to monitor COVID-19 patients with various severities of the disease and compared them to health hospital workers, looking for immune system antibodies that work by attacking any of nearly 3,000 proteins.

Whereas normal antibodies latch onto the virus proteins to prevent them from spreading, autoantibodies are the wrong shape and instead attach to proteins that are on human cells, or that have been released by them, the report said.

The study, the scientists wrote, found that COVID-19 patients had “dramatic increases in autoantibody reactivities” compared with hospital workers who did not have the disease.

Though some autoantibodies were apparently present in the patients before they were infected with the virus, others only appeared and increased as the disease took hold. More than five percent of hospitalized patients had damaging autoantibodies. The more autoantibodies there were, the more severe the COVID-19 symptoms.

“We certainly believe that these autoantibodies are harmful to patients with COVID-19,” said Ring, adding that the damaging effects could possibly continue even after the infection itself is no longer causing illness.

“Because antibodies can persist for a long time, it’s conceivable that they may contribute to the development of long COVID diseases,” he said.

“Post-COVID syndromes could plausibly be caused by long-lived autoantibodies that persist well after the virus is cleared from the body,” Ring told the Guardian. “If this is the case, there are immunosuppressive treatments, such as those used for rheumatological diseases, that could be effective.”

Long COVID is believed to affect about 10% of 18- to 49-year-old coronavirus patients, and as much as 20% of those over the age of 70, according to the report.

The scientists believe that more than one type of autoantibody in each patient is causing the trouble…

The study comes as countries around the world, including Britain, the US and Israel, are gearing up for or have already started mass immunization programs against the coronavirus.

Since the CDC admits that 94% of people who “died” of COVID had pre-existing co-morbidities — including a plethora of auto-immune disorders — it is virtually impossible, and scientifically untenable, to blame their conditions on the virus itself.

Duke delayed family holidays to party with Epstein: These exclusive pictures show Andrew in the Bahamas with his daughters. Now our probe reveals the bombshell 48 hours he was on paedophile's island WITH teen sex accuser just days earlier

Never-before-published photos show Prince Andrew with his daughters on holiday in Bahamas in 2001

Pictures were taken by the Duchess of York, the children's mother while the family were on holiday together

Family had gone on holiday together almost ten years after parents' separation and five years after divorce

A doting father and his two daughters are relaxing in the Caribbean sunshine.

These never-before-published photographs show Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, then aged 12 and 11, on holiday in the Bahamas in the week following Easter Sunday, 2001.

They were taken by the Duchess, the children's mother. Almost ten years after their colourful separation and five years after divorce, the Duke and Duchess of York sought to maintain the cohesion of their family unit.

But all is not as it appears.

Charming as they are, the Bahamian swimming pool pictures suggest nothing of the calamitous misadventure into which the Duke had just plunged; one which would see him — eventually — banished from public life and wanted for questioning by the U.S. Department of Justice, as he is today.

At best Andrew was in the thrall of a disastrous association with a stranger whom he did not then know to be a predatory paedophile. At worst? Well, the Duke is accused of being provided with a sexually trafficked 17-year-old girl for his personal gratification.

That girl, now a woman, is Virginia Roberts. She has claimed and continues to claim that about a week before these holiday images were taken, the Queen's second son had sex with her in the massage room of the biggest townhouse in New York. Miss Roberts was then 17. She is one day less than five years older than Princess Beatrice.

The mansion on East 71st Street belonged to the billionaire Wall Street financier Jeffrey Epstein, whom Andrew had entertained at a Sandringham shooting weekend the previous December. Miss Roberts says it was Epstein who trafficked her across state lines so she could 'service' the Duke.

For his part, the Duke emphatically denies ever having had sexual relations with Miss Roberts or any minor. He says he cannot remember even having met her.

But as a victim of Epstein, her testimony has arguably been given weight by the existence of another photograph. This was allegedly taken in London in March 2001, and appears to show the Duke with his arm around his American accuser. She says they had posed minutes before the first of the three occasions they had sex together.

Yesterday, in the second part of a ground-breaking Mail investigation into Miss Roberts's allegations against Andrew, we set out in unprecedented detail the Duke's 'working visit' to New York and Boston on behalf of the charity the Outward Bound Trust, during Easter week 2001.

We revealed that the Duke and his senior police Personal Protection Officer (PPO) had spent the third night of the trip at Epstein's mansion, despite Andrew's denial of having done so during his disastrous BBC Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis last year.

We also proved that the gap in his busy official itinerary — set aside for 'Private Time' — could have allowed him to meet Miss Roberts at Epstein's mansion two days earlier.

It was around this time she alleges the second sexual episode between them took place.

Who Controls the World? These Organizations, Institutions, and Families Run the Show

The economy is run by just a few organizations, institutions, and individuals. There has never been much discussion about their activities because it’s not linear, it’s not laid out. It’s a series of compartmentalized events and knowledge. Everyone plays their role without the knowledge of the others. Just like a corporate structure. You don’t question what others are up to. You have to play ball to move up the ladder.

While serving as Speaker, Nancy Pelosi’s net worth went from $24- to over $100 million USD. (Official salary is $220k/year)

www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/nancy-pelosi/net-worth?cid=N00007360&year=2018

Yep and it’s not just Pelosi either. Almost all major American politicians leave office as multi-millionaires, or shortly after leaving become multi-millionaires.

Hell just look at the list of Presidents, afaik the only people with reasonable explanations are Trump, Hoover and the founders who were all basically landowning aristocrats. But how the hell does Bill Clinton earn 75 million dollars when that’s the highest paying he’s ever had and it “only” pays $400,000 / yr.

2. NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY The effect of BioThrax on embryo-fetal and pre-weaning development was evaluated in a developmental toxicity study using pregnant rabbits. One group of rabbits was administered BioThrax twice prior to gestation and during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 7). A second group of rabbits was administered BioThrax twice prior to gestation and on gestation day 17. BioThrax was administered at 0.5 ml/rabbit/occasion, by intramuscular injection. No adverse effects on mating, fertility, pregnancy, parturition, lactation, embryo-fetal or preweaning development were observed. There were no vaccine-related fetal malformations or other evidence of teratogenesis noted in this study Biothrax

CDC to suspend data collection for 2020-2021 flu season amid rising COVID-19 deaths, causing all flu deaths to be counted as “covid deaths”

Governments worldwide have had all hands on deck since the pandemic broke out in March. Scientists, health experts and entire agencies are directing their attention to controlling the transmission of the coronavirus.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) even announced in October that it will suspend data collection for the 2020-2021 flu season due to the ongoing pandemic.

True enough, the agency’s COVIDView, their weekly surveillance of COVID-19 activity in the U.S., is providing more detailed updates than FluView, their weekly influenza surveillance report, despite it being flu season.

But while basic data collection for the flu season is still ongoing, the CDC’s projected suspension raises several concerns. For instance, health authorities could be counting flu cases, which are expected to be lower this year, as COVID-19 cases. Deaths from the flu could be counted alongside those from COVID-19 as well.

Experts also noted a trend that has persisted since the pandemic began: as COVID-19 cases go up, flu cases go down.

Flu or COVID-19?

Most of the people who die from COVID-19 are those with preexisting health conditions or comorbidities. But people who tested positive for COVID-19 and died later on, whether due to COVID-19 or not, are also counted as official COVID-19 deaths.

One thing that could explain this haphazard counting of COVID-19 deaths is the fact that hospitals in the U.S. get reimbursed for COVID-19-related care, which includes deaths, because of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

But according to David Holcombe, medical director at the Louisiana Department of Health, that money is not for the hospitals’ use. Rather, it protects patients from being left with a large hospital bill. Holcombe also said that the official number of COVID-19 deaths is underestimated, not overestimated.

But other practitioners and health experts dispute this claim. Nick Coatsworth, an infectious disease specialist and one of Australia’s Deputy Chief Medical Officers, said that determining the cause of death is complex.

“I remember as a junior doctor trying to do death certificates – it’s not always an easy thing.”

State senator and physician investigated for questioning COVID-19 deaths

Some government authorities and health experts have been questioning the legitimacy of the official numbers of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. since President Donald Trump signed the CARES Act into law in March.

But such inquiries have so far been met with criticism and intolerance. In late June, for example, the Board of Medical Practice in Minnesota investigated State Sen. Scott Jensen. Jensen, who is also a family physician, had his medical license placed under review as well. (Related: Minnesota doctor decries censorship, says he is under investigation for COVID-19 opinions.)

Jensen was accused of reckless advice for his “willingness to compare COVID-19 to influenza outbreaks.” The board also claimed that Jensen was spreading misinformation about how COVID-19 death certificates were being categorized. The investigation was dismissed not a month later.

Rouhani: Iran Will Return to Nuclear Deal Within an Hour of US Doing So

The Iranian president says Iran will accept no preconditions to return to JCPOA

Reiterating his desire to return to the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday that Tehran could come into compliance with the agreement within an hour of the US doing so.

Rouhani also said that Iran would not accept any preconditions for returning to the deal, known as the JCPOA, including limitations on Iran’s ballistic missile program.

A stricter deal that includes Tehran’s missiles is a demand of Iran hawks in the Trump administration. Rouhani addressed this demand and his hopes for the incoming administration.

“The Americans were trying for months to add the missile issue and this was rejected,” Rouhani said of the 2015 JCPOA negotiations. “Trump was uninformed and did not know about the matter, but Mr. Biden is well aware of the details of the deal.”

Joe Biden has repeatedly said that he plans to work with Iran to return to the JCPOA and work on a follow-on agreement that deals with Iran’s missiles after the fact. “I have not heard Biden say that we have to reach another agreement in order to return to the nuclear deal, that is what Trump says,” Rouhani said.

In the final days of the Trump administration, there are a lot of forces at work hoping to sabotage Biden’s attempts to return to the JCPOA, including Israel, who is the likely perpetrator of the assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Rouhani discussed Fakhrizadeh’s killing on Monday and accused Israel of trying to start a war. “Waging instability and war in the final days of the Trump administration was the main aim of the Zionist regime in the assassination,” he said.
