Germany To Put COVID-Rulebreakers In "Detention Camp"

Germany is set to put COVID dissidents who repeatedly fail to properly follow the rules in what is being described as a ‘detention camp’ located in Dresden.

Yes really.

In order to try to increase compliance, violators are told that if they receive both a warning and then a fine, a court will decide whether they should be punished with a stint in the camp.

“We don’t assume that there will be very many, but in the event that a court decides that way, there will be a facility to accommodate them,” a spokesperson told RT.

Camps. For dissidents. In Germany.

What could possibly go wrong?

As we previously highlighted, last year authorities in New Zealand said that they will put all new coronavirus infectees and their close family members in “quarantine facilities.”

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made it clear that anyone in the quarantine facility who refused to take a coronavirus test would simply be held there for at least 14 days.

Earlier this month, a lawmaker in New York also introduced a bill that would give the government the power to remove and detain “disease carriers” in quarantine facilities.

Pennsylvania Lt Gov Denies Free Speech, Says ‘You Do Not Have The Right’ To Question Election Integrity

"This idea that saying that Pennsylvania was 'rigged' or that we were 'trying to steal the election' – that's a lie. And you do not have the right, that is not protected speech."

In a video released by The Hill on Twitter, Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman said that “you do not have the right” to question the legitimacy of the 2020 US election.

The Constitution does not protect you from expressing your political opinion regarding the legitimacy of a US election, according to Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman.

Fetterman also said that censorship of President Donald Trump at the hands of Big Tech is “not deplatforming someone. It’s deleting lies that are yelling fire in a crowded theater when there is none.”

“That is not protected speech,” said Fetterman. “No one, Republican, Democrat, whatever, has the right to say those kind of incendiary lies”

— The Hill (@thehill) January 15, 2021

Fetterman should know that the phrase “shouting fire in a crowded theater” originates from Schenck v. US (1919).

Schenck was overturned over 50 years ago in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).

In Brandenburg, the Supreme Court ruled that speech may be prohibited if it is “directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action” and is “likely to incite or produce such action.” The Supreme Court essentially utilized a combination of the “Clear and Present Danger Test” and the “Incitement Test” in their Brandenburg decision.

Critics of President Trump such as Democrats, RINO’s, those in the mainstream media, Big Tech, and the Deep State point to his January 6 ‘Stop The Steal’ speech as an example of the President using unprotected speech, inciting insurrection, and encouraging violence. However, if you read the full transcript, it is evident that such claims are over-exaggerated and outright untrue.

“Anyone you want, but I think right here, we’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.

Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.

I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” said President Trump.

President Trump was permanently banned of Twitter on January 8. However, the Trump Twitter Archive and Gab have saved all of his tweets. Upon further analysis, it is clear that every tweet that the President had posted since January 6 was not “directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action” at all, and quite frankly, both speech and his tweets suggested the complete opposite.

In one tweet, the President wrote:

“I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!” – President Trump, January 6, 2020, 3:13:26 PM EST.

This made Twitter’s decision to remove President Trump’s messages of peace that much more confusing, as National File reported.

Twitter continues to be allowed to infringe on our freedom of speech, courtesy of Section 230 and weak Senate Republicans. However, government officials – including Fetterman, must still abide by the Constitution despite their open objections.

‘Risk Pool’ to be Created to Compensate Nations Hurt by Bill Gates Venture to Dim the Sun to Cool Earth

As TFTP reported last year, it was reported that the top climate change scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration received $4 million in funding from Congress along with permission to study two highly controversial geoengineering methods in an attempt to cool the Earth. According to Science Magazine, David Fahey, director of the Chemical Sciences Division of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory, told his staff last week that the federal government is ready to examine the science behind “geoengineering”—or what he dubbed a “Plan B” for climate change.

This plan is in congruence with the plan backed by billionaire Bill Gates in which plans have been made to spray dust into the atmosphere to dim the sun that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect.

The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), launched by Harvard University scientists, aims to examine this solution by spraying non-toxic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere — a sun-reflecting aerosol that may offset the effects of global warming.

What could possibly go wrong?

Before we go any further, it is important to point out to new readers that we are not a satire site. We are not a conspiracy theory site. The information you are about to read is factually accurate and 100% real despite the ostensible ‘skeptics’ who claim otherwise.

After years of planning, SCoPEx is about to go live.

According to a report out of Forbes Magazine this week, SCoPEx will take a small step in its early research this June near the town of Kiruna, Sweden, where the Swedish Space Corporation has agreed to help launch a balloon carrying scientific equipment 12 miles (20 km) high. The launch will not release any stratospheric aerosols. Rather, it will serve as a test to maneuver the balloon and examine communications and operational systems. If successful, this could be a step towards a second experimental stage that would release a small amount of CaCO3 dust into the atmosphere.

As TFT has reported, Harvard announced in July of 2019 that it has created an external advisory panel to examine the potential ethical, environmental and geopolitical impacts of this geoengineering project, which has been developed by the university’s researchers.

The experiment will spray calcium carbonate particles high above the earth to mimic the effects of volcanic ash blocking out the sun to produce a cooling effect. This appears to be the same as NOAA’s “Plan B.”

Judge drops charges against 28 Black Lives Matter protesters in Detroit

36th District Court in Detroit dismissed charges against 28 protesters who were arrested during anti-police brutality demonstrations last year.

Judge Larry Williams Jr. tossed the cases after the city of Detroit failed to provide discovery of information, including the identities of arresting officers and body cam footage, that could be used during a trial.

FBI arrests 'hardcore leftist' plotting to violently attack pro-Trump protesters at Florida Capitol over rioting at US Capitol

Baker was recruiting people to encircle Trump supporters with firearms

The FBI arrested a man in Florida who was allegedly planning to recruit people to violently attack pro-Trump protesters who might show up at the Florida State Capitol to continue the effort to overthrow the election.

Daniel Alan Baker referred to himself a "hardcore leftist" in an article cited by the FBI in the criminal charges filed on Friday.

Federal prosecutors accused Baker of making a "call to arms for like-minded individuals to violently confront" any pro-Trump supporters at the Tallahassee Capitol.

On Sunday the FBI alerted state and local officials that there might be more protests leading to violence at state capitals in line with the lethal rioting that transpired at the U.S. Capitol.

Prosecutors allege that Baker wanted others to join him in encircling protesters and confine them with firearms.

Baker had fought with the Kurdish YPG militia, and was showcased in a documentary by VICE. He also was a former U.S. Army Airborne infantryman who was kicked out after going AWOL, according to prosecutors.

Baker faces a charge of transmission, in interstate commerce, of communication containing a threat to kidnap or to injure.

"The law-abiding public is safer now that he has been arrested. We are, and will remain, on high alert and will take all appropriate actions against credible threats," said Lawrence Keefe, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

Prosecutors called Baker a "dangerous extremist" and said he was attempting to purchase firearms this week.

"Extremists intent on violence from either end of the political and social spectrums must be stopped, and they will be stopped," Keefe said.

Here's more about possible violence at state capitals:

‘Engineered Virus’: Wuhan Lab’s Military Ties, Secrecy Highlighted By US State Dept Fact Sheet

A new fact sheet from the U.S. State Department highlights the military ties, secret nature, and suspicious research occurring at the Wuhan Insitute of Virology.

Believed by many to be the source of the virus, the Wuhan-based laboratory was highlighted in a January 15th document entitled “Fact Sheet: Activity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Including “previously undisclosed information,” the document highlights three areas of interest: “Illnesses inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV),” “Research at the WIV,” and “Secret military activity at the WIV.”

“A laboratory accident could resemble a natural outbreak if the initial exposure included only a few individuals and was compounded by asymptomatic infection. Scientists in China have researched animal-derived coronaviruses under conditions that increased the risk for accidental and potentially unwitting exposure,” the report adds.

Afghan Migrants Accused of Filming Child Sex Abuse for Blackmail

Afghan migrants in their twenties have been accused of filming sex acts with minor girls in Sweden and using the videos to blackmail their victims.

The first migrant was arrested in September for child rape offences after police received tips that pictures and videos of underage girls were being circulated on social media.

An investigation revealed that the crimes started in August 2019. The Afghan, who has prior convictions, is believed to have committed at least three counts of raping a minor and sexual assault against a minor, Nyheter Idag reports.

Prosecutor Andreas Lennartsson has stated that the crimes went on over a long period and took place in both school and home environments.

A second Afghan migrant was arrested in December on suspicion of a child rape that is believed to have taken place in April.

According to the prosecutor, the Afghans victimised girls as young as 13 and took photographs and videos of the sex acts.

“It has since been used to get the young girls to perform more actions that they were not comfortable with. It became a way of pressuring plaintiffs into doing more, but also to make sure that the girls do not tell anyone about what they have been through. They threatened to publish the pictures and films,” Lennartsson said.

Lennartsson added that there were other suspects in the case, but did not go into the details of any ongoing investigations.

Afghan Migrant Prosecuted For Raping Underage Swedish Girl https://t.co/u32CA4Mpja

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) May 15, 2020

The case comes less than a year after another Afghan migrant was prosecuted for raping a 15-year-old girl while he was staying as a guest of the child’s family.

The 20-year-old claimed in May that he did not rape her, but rather rejected her sexual advances and that she reported him to the police as an act of revenge.

In August, another Afghan in his 20s saw his child rape conviction overturned.

The man had previously been convicted of raping a 13-year-old but won an appeal when a court ruled he may not have known the girl’s age, despite inputting her actual age when ordering her a child’s bus ticket.

Facebook Censors Mexican Cardinal for Denouncing ‘New World Order’

Facebook has censored a video of Cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, archbishop emeritus of Guadalajara, for suggesting that globalist leaders are exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to bring about a new world order.

In place of the cardinal’s weekly video, Facebook exhibited a greyed-out screenshot emblazoned with the banner “False information.” Underneath, Facebook added, “This publication repeats information about COVID-19 that independent fact checkers deemed false.”

On its Facebook page, Semanario Arquidiocesano Guadalajara, an information service run by the Archdiocese of Guadalajara, posted the following screenshot on January 13, along with the text “Cardinal Juan Sandoval denounced the imposition of a new world order, hours later his video was censored”:

Greece Extends Lockdown Indefinitely

Greece’s government has extended nationwide lockdown measures indefinitely but says retail stores and malls will reopen Monday with strict entrance limits.

Civil protection chief Nikos Hardalias said Friday that a nightly curfew, domestic travel restrictions, and stay-at-home orders will all remain in effect after being first imposed in early November.

Retail stores, closed since Jan. 3, will reopen with limited entrance and for customers who have filled out permission notices to leave their homes that are usually made available by cellphone message.

The lockdown was imposed on Nov. 7 to fight a surge in cases and deaths that has eased in recent weeks.

Speaking in parliament ahead of Friday´s announcement, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said each month of lockdown was costing the Greek economy more than 3 billion euros ($3.6 billion).

“I want to be absolutely clear, every opening of economic activity harbours the danger of an increase in (COVID-19) cases,” Mitsotakis said. “As long as this increase in cases is moderate and controlled and as long as it doesn´t put pressure on the health system, it is something we can bear. These are the delicate balances we must find.”

Hot Pockets recall: Nestle recalls nearly 763,000 pounds of frozen food for possible glass, plastic contamination

Nestlé Prepared Foods is recalling about 762,615 pounds of pepperoni pizza Hot Pockets, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced late Friday.

The frozen stuffed sandwiches, which were shipped to stores nationwide and produced in November, are being recalled because they “may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically pieces of glass and hard plastic,” according to a news release.

The USDA classified the announcement as a "Class I" recall, which it defines as a "health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."

According to the USDA notice, the “problem was discovered when the firm received four consumer complaints of extraneous material in the pepperoni hot pocket product” and there has been “one report of a minor oral injury associated with consumption of this product.”

The affected boxes have a “Best before Feb 2022” date and one of the following lot codes 0318544624, 0319544614, 0320544614 and 0321544614.

The boxes also have the establishment number "EST. 7721A" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

“Consumers who have purchased this product are urged not to consume it," USDA said. "This product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase."

'Q-Anon' Bears Striking Resemblance to Bolshevik Psy-Op From 1920s Known As 'Operation Trust'

"Operation Trust" was a Bolshevik counterintelligence operation run from 1921 to 1926 aimed at neutralizing opposition by creating the false impression that a powerful group of military leaders had organized to stop the communists' takeover.

Here's an except on the "Trust" operation from pages 13-14 of Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn's book, "New Lies for Old":

The similarities with the Q-Anon "Trust The Plan™" psy-op are remarkable.

From Wikipedia's article on Operation Trust:

Operation Trust was a counterintelligence operation of the State Political Directorate (GPU) of the Soviet Union. The operation, which was set up by GPU's predecessor Cheka, ran from 1921 to 1926, set up a fake anti-Bolshevik resistance organization, "Monarchist Union of Central Russia", MUCR, in order to help the OGPU identify real monarchists and anti-Bolsheviks. The created front company was called the Moscow Municipal Credit Association.

[…] The one Western historian who had limited access to the Trust files, John Costello, reported that they comprised thirty-seven volumes and were such a bewildering welter of double-agents, changed code names, and interlocking deception operations with "the complexity of a symphonic score", that Russian historians from the Intelligence Service had difficulty separating fact from fantasy.

That sounds like the Confucius-style nonsense put out by Q-Anon.

Dmitry Medvedev: America 2.0. After the election

It is commonly acknowledged that the biggest economies have a major influence on political and social development of other countries. Crises that they periodically go through affect the global economy and consequently have impact on regional and national economies, as well as on political systems of countries that are sensitive to such impact. Yet, it is often overlooked that certain political events, such as elections, can also provoke serious crises in other countries. That is especially so when countries that have a direct influence on the fundamental global processes are concerned.

In this context, it is worth taking a look at the recent US presidential election. It is not that this presidential campaign, likely the most scandal-ridden in history, proved that the flaws in the US electoral system have a comprehensive nature. That is no news.

In fact, the strengths and shortcomings of the US voting system could be regarded as a purely domestic issue. But there is one problem. Elections in this country, especially when there is a transfer of power from one political force to the other, can trigger significant changes in the global economic development, seriously affecting the existing institutions of international law and global security system.

Many US leaders have at various times admitted, including to me personally, "It is true that our system is not perfect, but we are used to it and it is convenient for us." The problem is that the rest of the world finds it increasingly "inconvenient" to work with such a country, as the US becomes an unpredictable partner. This unpredictability gives other States, regional associations and military political organizations cause for concern. It would be nice if the US political establishment realized this responsibility.

Let us take a closer look. At first, everything seems quite presentable: alternative candidates, primary elections, and live TV debates. But this is a façade, a nice stage set which determines the spectacularity of the event and, naturally, the preferences of the voters. In the US electoral system, a candidate who wins a relative majority in a particular state – even by a slight margin – almost always gets all the electoral votes for that state. Therefore, in traditionally liberal or conservative states, votes cast by those who support the other party virtually disappear, being reduced to zero. As far as recent history is concerned, Democratic nominees Albert Gore (2000) and Hillary Clinton (2016) lost the election, despite having won the most votes.

Since the existing system awards all the electoral votes to the winner, a candidate who won by a small margin in states with a total of 271 electoral votes may win an election, despite having lost by a landslide in other states. In theory, even a candidate who won the popular vote by more than 100 million ballots may still lose the election in the electoral vote.

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild dies at 57 after suffering heart attack

In April, he and his wife donated NIS 50 million for purchasing medical equipment for 22 hospitals in Israel.

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild died on Friday after suffering a heart attack at his home in Switzerland, the Edmond de Rothschild Group reported. He was 57 years-old.

He was born on July 30, 1963, to Barons Edmond and Nadine de Rothschild. In 1997, at the age of 34, he took over the family business, and specifically the Edmond de Rothschild Group established by his father in 1953.

Ever since then, the late baron expanded the group’s philanthropic operations. Considered a world-renowned entrepreneur, de Rothschild was an expert in finance and innovation and always tried to make the most of his abilities and assets.

Alongside his daily activities, he made sure to nurture the legacy of the Rothschild family in a continuous effort of utilizing capital for the creation of a better future.

The Edmond de Rothschild Group focuses on private banking and managing assets and capital of international clients and institutions. The group has 32 offices around the world and actively manages property estimated at €160 billion, while employing 2,600 people.

In Israel, the group owns an investment firm and has made significant donations to higher education institutions and to programs aimed at narrowing educational gaps within the Israeli society.

In April, it was reported that the late baron and his wife had donated NIS 50 million for purchasing medical equipment for 22 hospitals across the country in an effort to assist the country in its battle against the coronavirus pandemic.

Censored by Twitter or Facebook? This state's bill would let you sue

'I drafted it in December and things have only gotten worse,' the lawmaker told 'Fox & Friends'

After being shocked by Big Tech censoring President Trump and other conservatives in recent months, Republican state lawmakers introduced a bill that would put social media giants like Twitter and Facebook in legal trouble for restricting political posts in North Dakota.

"I drafted it in December and things have only gotten worse," State Rep. Tom Kading, R-N.D., the lead sponsor of the bill, told "Fox & Friends" Saturday.

"I'm frankly shocked at what's happening to our country and censoring does not create unity, it does not help the situation of division in our country, and it does not de-escalate the situation," Kading said. "All it really does is make those who have been silenced dig in deeper and be more suspicious of what's going on."

The bill states that social media sites would be liable in a civil lawsuit for damages to a North Dakota resident "whose speech is restricted, censored, or suppressed," as long as it is not "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable."

Former NYPD Commissioner: ‘Citizens of the US’ Now Biggest Terror Threat

Former New York City police commissioner Bill Bratton told Shepard Smith Friday that “for the last 20 years our biggest concern was international terrorism — ISIS, Al Qaeda,” but “now it’s here and it’s us, and it’s the citizens of the United States, some of whom are rebelling against everything we thought we believed in for the last 300 to 400 years.” (Apparently Bratton subscribes to the 1619 Project, which dates America’s founding not from 1776, but from 1619, so as to add on 150 extra years of slavery and oppression.) And Bratton wasn’t alone: his analysis of the “far-right” threat is the latest establishment media narrative.

Former FBI director James Comey joined in the fun. Asked by a British broadcaster if he thought “far-right extremism in the US” was “a greater danger to the country than Islamist terrorism,” Comey answered in the affirmative, and added: “The threat has slowly risen as Donald Trump and those around him have withdrawn the control rods. America has always had a radioactive stew of racist conspiracy-minded misogynist people oriented towards violence. We’ve always had that in this country. But we’ve managed over generations to contain it inside a containment building as you would with a nuclear waste pile and put control rods down into it which we’re cultural. And that calmed the radiation. And over the last five years Donald Trump and those around him have pulled the rods out with signals and dog whistles and sometimes explicitly”

A former Homeland Security Department counterterrorism official, Nate Snyder, likewise also affirmed Friday that the biggest terror threat the nation faces today comes from “violent white supremacists, neo-Nazis, sovereign citizens, militia movements.”

It’s easy to push this narrative today, when even putatively “conservative” writers are piling on President Trump for supposedly inciting a riot that began in Washington as he was calling upon the crowd to remain peaceful, and that even CNN admitted was “not just a protest that spiraled out of control,” but showed careful advance planning.

Never Trumpers will Never-Trump, no matter what the evidence is, but it is important to recognize what Bratton, Comey, and Snyder, and others like them are trying to do. Remember in Animal Farm how Boxer the horse struggled to remember, as the pigs implemented their totalitarian rule, how things had once been different? It’s all-important to remember, and these vicious and mendacious propagandists such as Comey, Snyder and Bratton, and many others, are doing their level best to make sure we forget.

Remember: It wasn’t “far-right extremists” who rioted all summer in Portland, Seattle, Kenosha, Wisconsin, New York, Atlanta, Washington, DC, and numerous other cities that I have already forgotten. It was Leftists: Antifa and Black Lives Matter, who have also been found to have been among those storming the Capitol that is being used as a Reichstag Fire pretext to shut down dissent from the Leftist agenda. When Snyder talks about “violent white supremacists, neo-Nazis, sovereign citizens, militia movements,” what he really means are ordinary citizens who oppose the dominant political philosophy. Lies like what Bratton is spreading here are in service of solidifying the hegemony of that philosophy.

Nor is this idea new. Back in September, the far-Left hate site Raw Story took the opportunity of the 19th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 jihad terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people to advance the claim that nowadays, the foremost threat the nation faces is not from jihadis, but from – you guessed it – “far-right white supremacists who love Trump.” It’s as predictable as it is absurd.

The Raw Story piece, written by Alex Henderson and picked up from the even loonier AlterNet, claimed that “although the 9/11 terrorist attacks underscored the dangerous fanaticism of far-right Islamist groups, countless Republicans and supporters of President Donald Trump have ignored or downplayed another terrorist threat from the far right — white supremacy and white nationalism — and that threat is alive and well in the Trump era.”

US Authorities Hide No More That They Support PKK Branch In Syria

The arrest of a Tallahassee man who called for violence against supporters of President Donald Trump has forced the US to officially acknowledge that its main proxy in Syria, the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), is affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

In an official statement released on January 15, the US Department of Justice announced that Daniel Baker has been arrested in Tallahassee by the local police and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, for inciting violence against supporters of President Trump.

Baker reportedly issued a call to arms for like-minded individuals to violently confront pro-Trump protestors gathered at the Florida Capitol. He called for others to join him in encircling any protestors and confining them within the Capitol complex using firearms.

Baker is a former U.S. Army Airborne service member who was kicked out of the service after he went AWOL [absent without official leave] before his unit was to deploy to Iraq.

“In 2017, he [Baker] joined the People’s Protection Units (YPG), a group fighting in Syria against ISIS and the Turkish government. He claimed on social media that he was a trained sniper for the YPG, and he can be seen in a documentary film fighting ISIS and Turkish militants,” the Department of Justice’s statement reads.

The statement goes on to admit that the YPG is a sub-affiliate of the PKK, which is designated by the US government as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The rare acknowledgment raise serious questions about US movements in Syria. Hundreds of US troops are deployed in northeastern Syria to support the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a coalition mainly made up of YPG units.

For the past six years, the US promoted the YPG as a Syrian force fighting against ISIS to spread democracy, ignoring the group’s clear links with the PKK.

Through the YPG, the PKK maintains strong influence within the SDF and benefit from the US support for the coalition. Washington was warned about this by Turkey years ago, yet choose to ignore this.

The arrest of Baker exposes the double standards of the US. Washington is happy to provide support for groups like the YPG aboard. However, it does not tolerate their pro-violence ideology on its own territory.

Rothschild Heirs: Who Are the Living Descendants of Europe's Famous Banking Dynasty

On Saturday, 57-year-old Baron Benjamin de Rothschild unexpectedly died from a heart attack, leaving behind four daughters. He was president of the family-owned Edmond de Rothschild Holding SA and considered one of the richest members of the Rothschild family.

Europe’s most famous banking dynasty, the Rothschilds, started with the rise of 18th century German Jewish banker Mayer Amschel Rothschild before splitting into different branches and scattering across the Continent.

Many family members, including the recently deceased Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, have continued working in finance, securing their title as the world's best-known banking family, while others have famously tried their hand in others fields.

Here's a list of some of the most renowned Rothschild heirs:

Guardian Smears Syria's President With Implausible Link To Beirut's Port Blast

On August 4 2020 2.750 tons of ammonium nitrate, stored in a warehouse of Beirut's harbour, exploded. The blast destroyed large parts of the city.

The dangerous load had come on a defect ship which was impounded by the Lebanese authorities. It had been stored since 2013. Despite urgent warnings, the complicate Lebanese bureaucracy had never found a way to get rid of the dangerous load.

Soon conspiracy theories sprang up about the 'real' ownership and purpose of the load and of who might have had an interest in igniting it. None made much sense. The original explanation of a bureaucratic tussle and pure neglect are still the most plausible cause.

But that does not stop the British Guardian from trying to blame the Syrian government for the incident:

US Real Estate Firms Forfeit $50m in Alleged Drug Money

Three US real estate companies have agreed to turn over more than US$50 million to the federal government to resolve claims they accepted the proceeds of drug trafficking laundered through an underground exchange market.

Through the Black Market Peso Exchange, companies will often turn to “peso brokers” in order to exchange legitimate local currency for dirty dollars.

(Source: Pixabay.com)“The Black Market Peso Exchange [BMPE] facilitates the laundering of vast sums of drug trafficking proceeds generated in the U.S., enabling the conversion of U.S. dollars into the currencies of drug trafficking organizations’ countries,” Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said in a statement this week.

Strauss’s statement accompanied an announcement by the Department of Justice that prosecutors had settled a civil forfeiture action against Sefira Capital, which owns high-end real estate across the United States, and more than 30 of its subsidiaries.

The government alleged that the group accepted millions of dollars in drug money laundered through the BMPE, which it then reinvested in property holdings.

The agreement follows after a similar settlement was reached with holding companies Hampus Assets and Kaunas Assets, which prosecutors said had also handled millions of dollars in proceeds from narcotics-trafficking from the underground exchange.

A long-running money laundering system, favoured by Mexican and Columbian drug cartels, the BMPE relies on the need among legitimate companies in Latin American countries for American currency in order to conduct business internationally.

In some cases, in order to avoid a complex maze of U.S. banking and financial regulations, such companies will turn to “peso brokers” in order to exchange legitimate local currency for dirty dollars, very often the proceeds of international drug trafficking syndicates operating in the United States.

It was just such proceeds that ultimately made their way into the hands of Sefira Capital, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) alleged. And the agency should know, as they claim it was in fact their officers who provided the company with the money.

“As part of an investigation of international money laundering, the DEA used confidential sources to facilitate transactions on the Black Market Peso Exchange to uncover persons engaged in illegal activity and develop evidence for criminal prosecutions,” the DoJ said in its recent statement.

Over the course of 2018, the DEA said it transferred millions into accounts held by Sefira’s many subsidiaries. Sefira allegedly accepted them without question or further inquiry.

“Money is the lifeblood of the cartels,” said DEA Acting Administrator Timothy J. Shea. “The alleged laundering of millions of dollars of illicit proceeds shows the incredible profit generated by ruthless drug cartels who only care about money and power, not the suffering of Americans or devastated communities left behind.”

As part of the forfeiture settlements this week, Sefira, Hampus and Kuanas have committed to increase their due diligence protocols when handling future investments.
