An Hour After Joe Biden Is Sworn In, WHO Admits Their Testing Grossly Overstates Individuals Testing Positive for COVID

Surprise, Surprise – Literally one hour after Biden was sworn in, the World Health Organization admitted that PCR testing produces high amplification rates and results and a huge number of false positives.

The WHO released a report today saying that their COVID testing overstates the number of false positives:

The WHO has hid the truth about the COVID pandemic from the start. We reported in March 2020 that the WHO was reporting bogus numbers grossly overstating the mortality rate of COVID. We were right.

There are so many problems with the reporting, projections and protocol related to COVID, how can these entities ever be trusted again?

Maduro Says Venezuela Defeated Trump, Calls on New Administration to Stop Demonizing Caracas

Relations between Washington and Caracas worsened dramatically during the Trump administration, which slapped the Latin American nation with harsh sanctions and supported the country's opposition leader Juan Guaido over President Maduro.

Nicolas Maduro has said that Venezuela defeated former US President Donald Trump, adding that his departure is a triumph for the Latin American country.

His words followed Democrat's Joe Biden inauguration on Wednesday noon, which former president Trump chose to skip and instead headed for his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, accompanied by ex-first lady Melania.

"Today, January 20, Donald Trump left, left, left… We defeated him," Maduro said in a statement broadcast on Twitter. "This is a victory for Venezuela. He left alone… This is our triumph," he said.

Maduro added that he has given instructions to study the possibility of establishing new relations with the United States after Joe Biden's inauguration. "I consider it important that the National Assembly, as the country's legislative body, the foreign policy commission, study and adopt legislative and political initiatives to start new relations between the United States and Venezuela," Maduro said.

The Venezuelan leader also expressed a hope that Biden would revise the US policy toward Venezuela.

“I call on the new US government to stop the demonization of the Bolivarian revolution and Nicolas Maduro as well as to turn over the page of lies, demonization and hatred … toward Venezuela,” Maduro said in his televised address on late Wednesday.

“We want to improve our relationship to a relationship of respect, reciprocity and the future,” he added.

Meanwhile, Biden’s nominee for Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said during his US Senate confirmation hearing that Washington should not change its position regarding recognizing Venezuela’s self-proclaimed President Juan Guaido as the interim leader of that country. Prior to that, now ex-state secretary Mike Pompeo reaffirmed Washington's "unwavering support for [Guaido's] leadership and for the liberty and dignity of all Venezuelans".

"No, it is not," Blinken told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday when asked whether the US stance on recognizing Guaido should change.

Who is Jen Psaki, Biden's White House press secretary?

Psaki was previously an Obama administration official and a CNN contributor

Jen Psaki made her debut in the White House Briefing Room on Wednesday as President Biden's press secretary.

Psaki previously served in the Obama administration from 2009-2017. She first began as deputy White House press secretary and was later elevated to deputy White House communications director.

In 2013, she moved to the State Department where she served as a spokesperson for then-Secretary of State John Kerry.

During her tenure at the State Department, Psaki was known for her combative exchanges with reporters. One of those exchanges became at the center of a controversy after it was discovered in 2016 that an eight-minute exchange from 2013 with Fox News reporter James Rosen was edited out of the State Department archives, where she appears to admit that the department previously misled reporters and the American people about the origins of the Iran Nuclear Deal.

In 2015, Psaki returned to the White House, this time as communication's director, which she served until the end of President Obama's second term.

Following serving the Obama administration, she became CNN contributor and was featured on-air during the 2020 presidential election.

After it was announced that Psaki would become Biden's White House press secretary, a resurfaced clip from October 2019 showed her appearing to question the then-Democratic candidate's questionable gaffes on the campaign trail, specifically one he made at a CNN town hall when he referred to "gay bathhouses" on the subject of LGBTQ issues.

"There have been a number of moments were even those of us who have affection for Vice President Biden think 'what on Earth is happening right now?'" Psaki recalled from the Obama administration during a CNN panel. "And part of his appeal is that he says things that your uncle says and people feel comfortable with him and its a return to normalcy. So yes, that was a weird comment. I'm not sure if that's going to impact him in the long run."

Psaki also criticized Biden's "rusty" performance and appeared "out of touch" with the electorate following the first Democratic primary debate in June 2019.

At her first briefing as White House press secretary, Psaki told reporters that President Biden asked her that she bring "truth and transparency back to the briefing room" and to "ensure we are communicating the policies across the Biden-Harris administration" to the media and to the American people.

Generations Of Globalist Ghouls Collaborate On "Manifesto" For Post-Trump Economic "Reset"

Proponents of the QAnon "conspiracy theory," which the NYT can't seem to stop writing about, are going to love seeing this.

A memo that has reportedly been circulating among policymakers on both sides of the aisle for weeks was finally released to the press on Tuesday when Dealbook editor and CNBC "Squawk Box" host Andrew Ross Sorkin got the scoop: a memo penned by a group of senior-level bureaucrats, including - who else? - Henry Kissinger and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has provided a kind of "blueprint" for the Biden Administration to undo all of President Trump's trade-war tactics and other policies that didn't exactly help promote free trade.

As Trump recounted in his farewell video published earlier Tuesday afternoon, his administration dramatically altered the American trade landscape, pulling the US out of the TPP, renegotiating Nafta into the USMCA, and - most consequentially, at things would turn out - the trade war with China, which inspired waves of hysterical lobbying by the Chamber of Commerce and special-interest groups from Big Tech to Wal-Mart and other major retailers, and others.

Biden Fires Labor Arbiter In ‘Unprecedented’ First Move

Ousted NLRB official: 'The abrupt manner in which this is being done will cause unnecessary interference'

President Joe Biden fired an independent federal labor regulator within hours of taking office on Wednesday in an unprecedented move that was cheered by labor unions.

Within minutes of his inauguration, Biden threatened to fire National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) general counsel Peter Robb if he did not voluntarily resign his position as the top prosecutor at the agency. Robb, whose four-year term was set to expire in November, rebuked Biden's demand, saying it would undermine the independence of the agency and the enforcement of federal labor law.

"It was my understanding that the incoming administration intended to foster civility and unity in this country and in the governing of this country, promising to adhere to the rule of law and enabling its chief law enforcement officers the independence, free from White House interference, to enforce the laws of the United States," Robb said in a letter obtained by Bloomberg Law. "A presidential removal of the NLRB’s General Counsel prior to the expiration of his or her term violates these promises and principles."

On Wednesday evening the Biden administration made good on the threat, according to Huffington Post reporter Dave Jamieson.

NEW: White House official confirmed for me that Joe Biden just fired Peter Robb after he refused to resign as NLRB general counsel.

— Dave Jamieson (@jamieson) January 21, 2021

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Shortly after signing a proclamation marking the inauguration a "National Day of Unity," Biden moved to fire Robb, according to Bloomberg. The Trump appointee indicated in his letter that the new administration's Office of Presidential Personnel emailed the resignation demand at 12:23 p.m., shortly after Biden took the oath of office.

"The removal of an incumbent General Counsel of the NLRB prior to the expiration of the term by a President of the United States is unprecedented," Robb said. "I am concerned that the abrupt manner in which this is being done will cause unnecessary interference with immediate Agency operations."

Robb, a career management-side labor attorney, has drawn the wrath of unions for attempting to reorganize the agency and shift enforcement of federal labor laws. In December, labor giant Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which spent nearly $25 million on the 2020 elections, privately lobbied the Biden transition team to sack Robb upon taking office. Fight for 15, an SEIU-backed activist group, celebrated Biden's break from presidential norms.

"The NLRB is the agency that should defend our right to come together in a union, but instead of standing with workers, the agency’s top lawyer, Peter Robb, stood in our way," the group said on Twitter.

Now he’s gone. Good riddance. The NLRB is the agency that should defend our right to come together in a union, but instead of standing with workers, the agency’s top lawyer, Peter Robb, stood in our way. #FightFor15 #FirePeterRobb

It's now official, he gone. pic.twitter.com/EP6sY3GFZL

Labor watchdogs decried Biden's hastiness in attempting to remove Robb 10 months before his term was set to expire. Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, said it would compromise the agency's mission.

"This unprecedented move to oust NLRB General Counsel Robb before the end of his Senate-confirmed four-year term is the very opposite of a return to ‘normal’ and a disturbing sign of just how far the Biden-Harris Administration is willing to go to pay back the union bosses that helped put Biden in the White House," Mix said in a statement. "The reason Big Labor officials are so eager to oust Robb is that he has frequently defended the rights of rank-and-file workers who are the targets of union coercion."

The NLRB did not return a request for comment.

"Even Libertarians": John Brennan Issues 'List' Of Ideologies Biden Intel Community Should Go After

Well this is alarming and ominous to say the least… Former CIA Director John Brennan told MSNBC in an interview on inauguration day that the intelligence community under newly sworn in President Biden is "moving in laser-like fashion" to try and uncover dangerous plots against the country.

Naturally, there's been much of this worrisome commentary about what political ideologies should be targeted and monitored coming out of NatSec hawks in the wake of the Capitol Hill mayhem of January 6. But this is the first time such a broad array of groups have been so bluntly lumped into a Pro-Trump "insurgency" by an influential media pundit and former spook. Brennan expressly said they are "violent" and remain a domestic threat.

He said in the MSNBC interview without the least concern for violation of Americans' rights that intelligence agencies should look into "religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians…".

Increasingly, it looks like Inauguration Day for intelligence insiders like Brennan represents "Deep State back on top" in America.
