Joe Biden Pledged Allegiance to the New World Order in 1992 Article

An article penned by Joe Biden in 1992 reveals how long he’s pledged allegiance to the New World Order system.

The Wall Street Journal op-ed, titled “How I Learned to Love the New World Order,” Biden, then a Delaware senator, explained his plans to cede America’s sovereignty to the United Nations and establish a one world government by “breathing life into the U.N. Charter.”

“Most Americans, myself included, reject 1930s-style isolationism. They expect to see the strong hand of American leadership in world affairs, and they know that economic retreat would yield nothing other than a lower standard of living,” Biden wrote.

“They understand further that many security threats — the spread of high-tech weapons, environmental degradation, overpopulation, narcotics trafficking, migration — require global solutions.”

Robinhood CEO Tries to Explain His Way Out of the Gamestonk Ban | Also Denies All Explanations

Robinhood restricts trading on FIFTY stocks including Starbucks and GM after GameStop saga stretched the trading app's cash reserves to the limit - as billionaire investor Jeffrey Gundlach blames stimulus checks for fueling small-investor insurgency

Robinhood restricted the purchase of 50 different stocks late on Friday, including blue-chip names Starbucks and General Motors, in an apparent act of desperation as the company's cash reserves were stretched to the limit.

The move followed a wild week of trading driven by small investors on the message board Reddit, who took on hedge funds that had bet against shares of struggling video game retailer GameStop.

Robinhood said in a statement that it had restricted users from purchasing certain shares this week because it struggled to meet deposit requirements with the clearinghouses behind the scenes of stock trading.

It was a stunning admission that cast doubt on conspiracy theories accusing Robinhood of trying to tank high-flying GameStop shares for nefarious purposes – but it revealed how precarious the startup trading platform's financial position may be.

Robinhood's trading restrictions which limited little investors even as big hedge funds were free to buy and sell stock at will drew fury from elected leaders in both parties and scrutiny from regulators.

60-Day Study Suggests Covid May Cause Significant Damage to Male Fertility

A German study suggests that the Chinese coronavirus may inflict long-term on male fertility, with sperm quality significantly impacted over a period of 60 days.

Researchers at the Justus-Liebig University compared 84 coronavirus-infected men with a 104-strong age-matched control group, and found, according to the Telegraph, that “sperm concentration was reduced by 516 per cent, mobility by 209 per cent and sperm cell shape was altered by 400 per cent”.

“These effects on sperm cells are associated with lower sperm quality and reduced fertility potential,” explained PhD student Behzad Hajizadeh Maleki, who led the research.

“Although these effects tended to improve over time, they remained significantly and abnormally higher in the Covid-19 patients, and the magnitude of these changes were also related to disease severity,” Maleki added, warning that “the male reproductive system should be considered a vulnerable route of Covid-19 infection and should be declared a high-risk organ by the World Health Organisation.”

The World Health Organization’s (W.H.O) assertion that closing borders would not stem the spread of the Chinese coronavirus was based on politics and economics, not science, according to the findings of a New York Times investigation unveiled this week. https://t.co/O4Yhn3VZw9

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) October 4, 2020

Some experts, however, suggested that longer-term studies would be needed to say whether the impact of coronavirus on male fertility persists over time.

“Covid-19 enters host cells by binding its spike glycoprotein to the ACE2 receptor which is found at high levels within the testes,” explained Dr Channa Jayasena, of Imperial College London.

“This has made us concerned that Covid-19 could impair male infertility,” Jayasena continued, but he went on to stress that “Being ill from any virus such as the flu can temporarily drop your sperm count (sometimes to zero) for a few weeks or months.”

“This makes it difficult to work out how much of the reductions observed in this study were specific to Covid-19 rather than just from being ill,” he said.

“This study suggests there may be an inflammatory response in the testes following Covid-19, which makes it more plausible that Covid-19 influences male fertility.

“This makes it important to study the long-term effects of Covid-19 on male fertility.”

University of Sheffield andrology expert Professor Allan Pacey sounded a similar note of caution, saying that it was “no mean feat” that the study was “able to repeat [its] measurements every 10 days over a 60-day period”, but that “since sperm production takes just under three months, roughly, to be completed from start to finish”, it may have been ended too soon to draw definitive results.

Lincoln Project Founder ‘Harassed’ Over 20 Young Men, Including 14-Year-Old, With ‘Sexual’ Messages

21 men have accused Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver of “online harassment,” according to The New York Times.

The outlet’s reporting follows a host of allegations of Weaver “grooming young men” on Twitter.

“John Weaver, a longtime Republican strategist and co-founder of the prominent anti-Trump group the Lincoln Project, has for years sent unsolicited and sexually provocative messages online to young men, often while suggesting he could help them get work in politics, according to interviews with 21 men who received them,” the Times describes.

Weaver’s “solicitations included sending messages to a 14-year-old, asking questions about his body while he was still in high school and then more pointed ones after he turned 18.”

The Times describes Weaver’s aforementioned interaction at length:

Cole Trickle Miele was 14 when he followed Mr. Weaver on Twitter in 2015 and quickly received a direct message from him. At first, he did not think anything was amiss.

“I remember being a 14-year-old kid interested in politics and being semi-starstruck by John Weaver engaging in a conversation with me,” said Mr. Trickle Miele, now 19. At the time, he supported the Republican Party and was a fan of Mr. Kasich, the Ohio governor whom Mr. Weaver was helping prepare to join the presidential race.

But as the messages kept coming, he became uncomfortable.

In June 2018, Mr. Weaver asked, “Are you in HS still?” — referring to high school — and Mr. Trickle Miele said that he was, and that he would be 18 the next spring. “You look older,” Mr. Weaver replied. “You’ve gotten taller.” In March 2020, when Mr. Trickle Miele was 18, Mr. Weaver wrote, “I want to come to Vegas and take you to dinner and drinks and spoil you!!,” and in a follow-up message used a term that in sexual banter refers to one’s body: “Hey my boy! resend me your stats! or I can guess! if that is easier or more fun!”

The paper also conducted “interviews with the 21 young men, as well as a review of screenshots of dozens of messages he sent them over the last five years,” concluding they “show that his online behavior was in many cases aggressive and unwanted.”

One individual, Cody Bralts, felt as if Weaver was “exploiting his power”:

“Last year, when Cody Bralts was a recent college graduate looking for a job in politics, he replied to one of Mr. Weaver’s tweets and, to his surprise, received a direct message from him. After Mr. Weaver said he traveled to Chicago sometimes, they discussed meeting to talk politics; at one point Mr. Weaver asked what Mr. Bralts did in his free time.

When Mr. Bralts said he ran marathons, Mr. Weaver replied, “At least I know that whatever we end up doing, you could do it multiple times in a row,” with a winking emoticon.

“It just seemed like he was exploiting his power,” Mr. Bralts said. “He was someone very important and high up in a field I want to go into.”

Kyle Allen noted that in his discussion with Weaver, the Lincoln Project co-founder “would always find a way to bring it back to sexual stuff.”

Khan’s London: Mohin Hussain Gets Short Sentence for Stabbing Policeman

A man who stabbed a police officer in the chest in London has received a prison term of less than three years.

41-year-old Mohin Hussain had been approached by patrol officers in London while being observed keeping his hand in a satchel strapped across his chest, with a search being attempted due to his answers to their questions and “odd behaviour”.

As one of the officers got out of his patrol car to initiate the search, “Hussain pushed the car door against him and at this point removed his hand from the bag and punched the officer in the upper right of his chest before fleeing the scene,” recalls an official news bulletin from the Metropolitan Police.

Hussain was successfully detained after a Taser was trained on him — but not fired — during a foot chase, at which point the “punched” officer realised he had in fact been stabbed with a Stanley knife.

For this, a judge at Southwark Crown Court sentenced Hussain to a prison sentence of just two years for “Section 20 wounding”, plus six months for being in possession of a bladed article — to be served consecutively rather than concurrently, as is often the case.

It is possible Hussain will serve significantly less than two years and six months actually in prison, however, as most criminals in Britain handed non-“life” sentences are entitled to automatic early release on licence halfway or, more rarely, two-thirds of the way through their term.

“Officers often deal with incidents that most people would run from, and even though they wear protective equipment, they still risk serious injury,” commented Detective Constable Nigel Pacquette, the investigating officer for the Metropolitan Police.

“They place their own safety behind that of the communities they protect, but when their duty is over, they must be able to return home, to their own families, without having suffered injury,” he added.

The Met made offered no complaint with respect to the shortness of Hussain’s sentence in its statement.

A.M. Smith: DOJ Arrest Reports Reveal Capitol Riot Was Planned Almost Exclusively On Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, Yet Parler Was Shut Down Anyway

A trove of documents released by the Department of Justice reveals that their investigations leading to arrests in the Capitol riot focused almost entirely on big tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, with little to no mentions of Parler.

A stunning (to some) revelation that exposes the claim that Parler was uniquely responsible, and completely destroys big tech’s excuse for their deplatforming, wrote author A.M. Smith for En-volve.com.

The takedown of Parler was purportedly based on its unique role in fomenting hate online relating to its alleged outsize role in the events at the Capitol on January 6th.

Having spent a couple of days weeding through the DOJ’s published arrest reports, I found little mention of Parler, but plenty of alleged criminal conduct referencing Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, in the charging document, A.M. Smith explains citing numerous examples.

In the DOJ press release entitled, “Three Charged in Federal Court for Assaulting and Impeding Local and Federal Officers during U.S. Capitol Breach,” there is explicit mention of one of those charged posting a video to Facebook. There is no mention of Parler.

The affidavit also alleges that in a video post to his Facebook account, Fairlamb, carrying a collapsible baton like the one depicted in video in which he appears at the Capitol, remarks, “What Patriots do? We [expletive] disarm them and then we storm [expletive] the Capitol.”

In the DOJ press release entitled, “Two Massachusetts Residents Charged in Connection with Capitol Breach,” there is explicit mention of one of those charged posting to Twitter. There is no mention of Parler.

Photos posted on a Twitter account connected to Super Happy Fun America show Sahady on a bus with other individuals with the caption, “Bus 1 of 11 coming to Washington DC. See you there!”

According to the criminal complaint, Ianni is also involved with “Super Happy Fun America.” The complaint alleges that Ianni organized buses for Super Fun Happy America to transport individuals to Washington D.C. for the January 6, 2021 event. Ianni is pictured alongside Sahady in the bus photo on Twitter.

The complete list of alternatives to all Google products

Parallel universe for the super security conscious

With growing concerns over online privacy and securing personal data, more people than ever are considering alternatives to Google products. After all, Google’s business model essentially revolves around data collection and advertisements, both of which infringe on your privacy. More data means better (targeted) ads and more revenue. The company pulled in over $134 billion in ad revenue last year alone – and that number continues to grow.

Editor’s Note:

Guest author Sven Taylor is the editor behind Restore Privacy, a blog dedicated to inform about best online privacy practices, secure your electronic devices, unblock restricted content and defeat censorship.

But the word is getting out. A growing number of people are seeking alternatives to Google products that respect their privacy and data. This guide aims to be the most exhaustive resource available for documenting alternatives to Google services. Since you are reading this, we assume you are one of them. So let’s get started (in no particular order nor preference)…

Small steps to restoring your privacy

When beginning the journey of restoring digital privacy, some people get overwhelmed with all the work involved, and perhaps give up. Don’t let that be you. Understand that you don’t need to do everything right away. Instead, start small and go step by step at your own pace. With each step in the process, you get more security and control over your personal data, which is a small victory.

Google search alternatives

When it comes to privacy, using Google search is not a good idea. When you use their search engine, Google is recording your IP address, search terms, user agent, and often a unique identifier, which is stored in cookies.

Here are eight Google search alternatives to consider:

MetaGer – An open source metasearch engine with good features, based in Germany.

SwissCows – A zero-tracking private search engine based in Switzerland, hosted on secure Swiss infrastructure.

Searx – A privacy-friendly and versatile metasearch engine that’s also open source.

Qwant – A private search engine based in France.

DuckDuckGo – A private search engine based in the US.

Mojeek – The only true search engine (rather than metasearch engine) that has its own crawler and index (based in the UK).

YaCy – A decentralized, open source, peer-to-peer search engine.

Givero – Based in Denmark, Givero offers more privacy than Google and combines search with charitable donations.

Note: With the exception of Mojeek, all of the private search engines above are technically metasearch engines, since they source their results from other search engines, such as Bing and Google.

Signal, the ‘encrypted messenger of the future,’ has shady links to US national security interests

If the sudden popularity of the encrypted messenger Signal has seemed suspicious to you, you may be onto something – the app is at least partially funded through American foreign influence cutouts.

On January 4, WhatsApp announced sweeping changes to its privacy policies, affecting the vast bulk of its approximately two billion users globally.

The poorly explained rules were interpreted by many as proof that the messaging service was about to commence sharing users’ private data, including their conversations, with parent company Facebook, and in response millions the world over began flocking to alternative messaging services that offered end-to-end encryption.

The most common destinations for WhatsApp exiles were, and remain, Signal and Telegram. For reasons unclear, while available figures suggest the latter has to date received many orders of magnitude more fresh arrivals than the former, corporate news outlets have overwhelmingly focused on Signal’s surging intake.

Much of this coverage has been highly approving – for instance, The Guardian published a lengthy explainer on January 24 titled “Is it time to leave WhatsApp, and is Signal the answer?” The headline was answered very much in the affirmative, to the extent that readers were offered advice on persuading their contacts to likewise make the switch.

The media’s damascene conversion to the cause of encrypted communication is rather incongruous. With a few notable exceptions, mainstream reporting on encryption is typically neutral, if not outright condemnatory, the capability frequently framed as purposefully offering sanctuary to philanderers, drug dealers, paedophiles, assassins, and anyone with something sinister to hide in general.

Such perspectives strongly reflect the public positions of governments and security services worldwide, to which end-to-end encryption is by definition an extreme detriment, significantly curtailing the monitoring and collection of citizens’ communications. Privacy advocates contend authorities’ oft-expressed anxieties about encryption providing a “safe space” for criminals and the like are a cynical smokescreen to justify crackdowns on their usage and availability.

Whatever the truth of the matter, efforts to restrict access to end-to-end encryption are demonstrably ongoing, but have predominantly gone largely uncriticized if not outright unremarked upon. Now though, news outlets seem widely gripped by encryption fever.

In a palpable illustration of this abrupt paradigm shift, a mere three days before it effectively urged its readers to install Signal, The Guardian lambasted Facebook’s plans to implement end-to-end encryption across all its messaging platforms, on the basis that the move could harm efforts to reduce child exploitation.

Dr. Lee Merritt: In Animal Studies, After Being Injected With mRNA Technology, All Animals Died Upon Reinfection

In the following interview, Dr. Lee Merritt explains that mRNA technology is not a vaccine, mirroring what Dr. David Martin also stated recently.

In animal studies, after mRNA injections have been administered to cats, when the virus arrived once again into the body, it arrived like a Trojan Horse, undetected by the cats’ own immune system. The virus multiplied unchallenged and all animals involved in the experiment died from various causes.

Ethanol Plant Using Treated GMO Corn Poisons Town

Mead is a village in Saunders County, Nebraska, with a population of just 580 people.1 Their website focuses on what they do best: small town living. “If you’re ready to escape the city, come join us in Mead, Nebraska,” their official site reads.2 This close-knit farming community is also home to AltEn,3 an ethanol plant that is producing toxic byproducts that are poisoning the community.

“It’s definitely within sniffing distance. I come out here to do yard work and I can barely breathe,” Jody Weible, who lives half a mile from the plant, told a news outlet.4

The stench is coming from a byproduct of ethanol production called distillers grain, which is produced after the starch is removed from corn. Also known as “wet cake,” distillers grain is sold by most U.S. ethanol plants as livestock feed, but AltEn’s waste is different.

The company secured a free source of corn to make ethanol by billing itself as a “recycling” plant that accepts seeds treated with pesticides, including toxic neonicotinoids. The resulting waste is too contaminated to sell as feed for animals, so AltEn has been spreading the waste on farmland and holding the rest of it — a “smelly, lime-green mash of fermented grains” — on the grounds surrounding its plant.5

Pesticide Contamination ‘Off the Charts’

Neonicotinoids are the most widely used insecticides worldwide.6 If you were to visit a conventional farm, you’d likely see evidence of their use in the form of brightly colored red corn seeds and blue soybean seeds, which are color-coded to denote treatment with neonicotinoids. Even when used agriculturally, these seeds have been found to harm pollinators like bees at alarming rates.7

There are other concerns as well, like the fact that planting neonicotinoid seeds kills off insects that prey on slugs — prominent corn and soybean pests — thereby reducing crop yields.8

They’re also known to persist in the environment. When researchers screened oilseed crops in the European Union for neonicotinoids during the five-year moratorium, they found neonicotinoids in all the years it was banned in bee-attractive crops, with residue levels depending on soil type and increasing with rainfall.

They concluded that this poses a “considerable risk for nectar foraging bees” and supports “the recent extension of the moratorium to a permanent ban in all outdoor crops.”9 In 2018, the European Union banned the outdoor use of three neonicotinoids (clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam), while the United Nations has also recommended severely restricting their use.10

They’re still widely used in the U.S., however, and in Mead, where the excess waste from the treated seeds is piling up, astronomical levels of the chemicals have been detected.

Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) attorney Dan Raichel told The Guardian, “Some of the levels recorded are just off the charts. If I were living in that area with those levels of neonics going into the water and the environment I would be concerned for my own health.”11

Iran rejects Macron's call for new nuclear deal

Iran on Saturday dismissed the French president's remarks on the need for a new nuclear deal with Tehran, Anadolu Agency reported.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said the nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is "a multilateral international agreement that has been endorsed and stabilized by the (UN) Security Council Resolution 2231. It is by no means re-negotiable, and its parties are also definite and unchangeable."

He urged Emmanuel Macron to exercise self-restrain and refrain from hasty and ill-advised stances.

Macron said Friday that Saudi Arabia should be involved in negotiations regarding the nuclear deal.

"If the French officials are worried about the huge arms sales to the Persian Gulf Arab states, they had better revise their policies," said Khatibzadeh.

"The French arms, along with other Western weapons, have not only massacred and killed thousands of Yemenis, but are also the main reason behind instability in the Persian Gulf region," he said. "Without a halt to the flood of arms exports from France, the UK, the US and others, one cannot expect stability and calm in this delicate region."

Khatibzadeh noted that the US withdrew from the deal and Europe failed to maintain it.

He said if the nuclear deal is to be saved, the US should return and lift all sanctions which had been imposed on Tehran during the tenure of former US President Donald Trump.

Utility Will Pay $2.2B for California Wildfire

California wildfires have been blamed on Climate Change, poor forest management, downed power lines, and increasing levels of Electromagnetic Radiation making trees and plants more fire prone (see 1, 2).

Southern California Edison has admitted no fault for a 2018 wildfire but has agreed to settle insurance claims anyway.

From ABC News:

Utility to pay $2B settlement in deadly 2018 California fire

LOS ANGELES — Southern California Edison will pay $2.2 billion to settle insurance claims from a deadly, destructive wildfire sparked by its equipment in 2018, the utility announced Monday.

Edison, which acknowledged no wrongdoing, said the agreement covers all claims in pending lawsuits from insurance companies related to the Woolsey fire, which blackened 151 square miles (391 square kilometers) of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Three people died in the November 2018 fire, and more than 1,600 homes and other buildings were destroyed.

In addition, Edison said it has finalized settlements from the December 2017 Thomas fire and mudslides a month later on land that burned.

“We have made another significant step toward resolving pending wildfire-related litigation,” Edison CEO Pedro Pizarro said in the statement.

Total expected losses for the 2017 and 2018 events are estimated to be $4.6 billion, the utility statement said.

“The settlement was fair to all and consistent with prior cases against Edison and other utilities,” Craig Simon, co-lead counsel for the insurance companies, said in a statement to the Ventura County Star.

Investigations determined Edison equipment sparked both the Woolsey and Thomas fires. In recent years, utility equipment has been blamed for multiple wildfires across the state.

The state’s largest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, was forced into bankruptcy in 2019 after facing liability for devastating blazes in Northern California.

We may never know if or how much utility “Smart” Meters have contributed to California wildfires. There have been reports, though, about them catching fire and exploding in the Golden State.

Knesset passes law doubling lockdown violation fines

Legislation increasing maximum penalty to NIS 10,000 approved in 2nd and 3rd readings; ministers now expected to extend nationwide closure

A bill stepping up enforcement of the nationwide coronavirus lockdown by doubling fines for violators passed its final votes in the Knesset plenum on Sunday and will become law.

The measure was the focus of fierce infighting among the parties in the governing coalition and had threatened to hold up a vote on extending the nationwide coronavirus lockdown, which expires Sunday night at midnight.

It came amid flagrant, widespread rule-breaking in some parts of the ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, community and as Israel’s infection levels and death rate remain high, despite its successful vaccination campaign. Many institutions in Haredi society have continued to operate throughout the lockdown, angering critics who say that the current level of enforcement isn’t enough.

The law increasing the fines, which was vehemently opposed by the coalition’s ultra-Orthodox and opposition Arab parties, passed 40-18 in its second reading and 37-18 in its third and final reading.

The maximum fine for breaking the rules will increase from NIS 5,000 ($1,500) to NIS 10,000 ($3,000). The measure originally called for fines of up to NIS 20,000, but that amount was lowered following pressure from the ultra-Orthodox parties, which still voted against the final bill.

The maximum fine can be levied against educational institutions and anyone who violates the rules by operating a business, store, party, conference, ceremony, festival, organized trip, sports event or show.

The Biden Oligarchs Secretly Running America

NIH spending $2.5 million attempting to make adults less nervous about the dentist

It is the largest NIH grant that has ever been given to Temple University's Dental school

The Golden Horseshoe is a weekly designation from Just the News intended to highlight egregious examples of wasteful taxpayer spending by the government. The award is named for the horseshoe-shaped toilet seats for military airplanes that cost the Pentagon a whopping $640 each back in the 1980s.

This week, our award is going to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for spending more than $1 million on an initiative to help Americans overcome their fear of the dentist.

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research — a division of the NIH — awarded the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry the grant, the full value of which is $2.59 million, the largest NIH grant ever received by the school.

Supported by the grant, dentistry and psychology researchers at the school are collaborating to conduct a five-year clinical trial involving 450 patients.

At the helm of the project, now in its second year, are Marisol Tellez Merchan, associate professor at the dental school, and Richard Heimberg, a psychology professor at the university's college of liberal arts and head of Temple's Adult Anxiety Clinic.

According to Merchan, about 10-20% of patients experience some form of dental anxiety. "As long as anxiety is greater than pain, you see avoidance," she said. "Avoiding dental care leads to delayed treatments, which are typically more invasive. Our aim is to reduce anxiety so patients can get thee care they need."

Together, the professors are using taxpayer dollars to determine "whether it's possible to put a psychologist's tool in the hands of dental assistants," says Heimberg.

The grant describes the project as "a brief Internet-based cognitive behavioral intervention for the treatment of impairing dental anxiety among those seeking dental care." What that means in practice, according to the professors, is that they are informing dental patients about the concept of dental anxiety and then showing them videos about specific areas of concern, for instance, anxiety around cavity fillings, root canals, and cleanings.

Shortly before a dental treatment begins, each patient is shown three videos per topic in an effort to ease them into the procedure. Heimberg says the goal is to "change anxious thoughts into coping thoughts."

The professors' noble effort to cure American adults of their dentophobia notwithstanding, the question arises: If patients are already at the dentist by the time they are watching these videos, doesn't that mean they are effectively over the hump?

It's one thing to spend American taxpayer dollars to encourage Americans to schedule and attend regular dental appointments, but another thing altogether to squander money on making people feel slightly better about being at the dentist once they've already arrived.

Biden adviser shrugs off filibuster, reconciliation concerns about stimulus: Americans 'couldn't care less'

(((Bernstein)))said taking quick action is of the utmost importance

Jared Bernstein, a member of President Biden's Council of Economic Advisers, claimed that passing the next round of coronavirus relief legislation is so important that Americans are not concerned with how it happens.

Biden, who supports a $1.9 trillion package, is facing opposition from Republicans, who prefer a leaner, more targeted approach. While the president has pushed a message of unity in the early days of his administration, some Democratic lawmakers are looking to keep Republicans out of the process if they do not get on board.

"Look, the American people really couldn’t care less about budget process, whether it’s regular order, bipartisanship, whether it’s filibuster, whether it’s reconciliation," Bernstein told "Fox News Sunday," stressing that people "need relief and they need it now."

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who will be heading the Senate Budget Committee, has said that Democrats can push their relief plan through the budget without Republicans via a process known as reconciliation. That process, which is reserved for tax and fiscal matters, is not subject to the filibuster and therefore allows for Democrats to pass their plan with their 50 senators and Vice President Kamala Harris's tie-breaking vote.

"If Republicans are willing to work with us to address that crisis, welcome – let's do it," Sanders told CNN last Sunday. "But what we cannot do is wait weeks and weeks and months to go forward. We’ve got to act now."

Bernstein said that Biden is "willing to negotiate" with Republicans, as a group of 10 GOP senators announced support Sunday for a $600 billion package, but claimed that part of why it is so urgent to pass relief is to avoid a spike in unemployment.

State Dept Spox: ‘Largest Threat to U.S. National Security are U.S. Cops’

Jalina Porter said in a 2016 Facebook post that police officers are a greater national security threat than ISIS, Russians

The State Department’s newly installed deputy spokesperson, Jalina Porter, said in a 2016 Facebook post that the "largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S cops," according to a screenshot of the post obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"The largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S. cops," wrote Porter, who was recently tapped by the Biden administration to serve as State Department spokesman Ned Price’s deputy. "Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else."

Porter’s comments were made on Sept. 20, 2016, and appear to be in reference to video footage released that day of an unarmed black man being shot by police officers in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "An unarmed Black man takes a knee for justice, bigots riot," she wrote in the post. "An unarmed black man (with his hands raised) takes a bullet and dies, these same bigots are silent. Explain this to me, please."

Porter, a former top aide in the congressional office of now-top Biden White House adviser Cedric Richmond, added, "If y’all don’t wake up and rise up to this truth, the genocide against Blacks in America will continue until we are near extinct." At the time of the post, Porter was working as a communications official for the Truman National Security Project, a left-leaning foreign policy think-tank that previously employed Hunter Biden. Porter is also a former dancer for the NFL's Oakland Raiders and the NBA's Washington Wizards.

The State Department did not respond to multiple Free Beacon requests for comment on the posting. Emails sent to Porter via her website and to an address provided on it were not returned by press time.

The resurfaced comments could complicate the State Department’s messaging as it seeks to challenge Iran’s nuclear buildup, continue the fight against ISIS, and shape its response to the many ongoing national security threats posed by China, Russia, and the Islamic Republic. Tony Blinken, the department's new secretary, was confirmed on Tuesday.

No Withdrawal: NATO Is Happy To Turn Back From Trump-Promoted Peace Efforts In Afghanistan

The US and its allies are planning to keep their troops in Afghanistan beyond the deadline envisaged by the deal with the Taliban, Reuters reported on January 31, citing senior officials from the NATO.

Under the deal, which was signed by the US and the Taliban in Doha last February, foreign troops should withdraw from Afghanistan by May.

A NATO official told Reuters that there will be no full withdrawal by the US and allies from Afghanistan by April-end. The official said that the Taliban have not met the conditions set in the February agreement.

“With the new US administration, there will be tweaks in the policy, the sense of hasty withdrawal which was prevalent will be addressed and we could see a much more calculated exit strategy,” the official said.

According to another official, about 10,000 foreign troops, including Americans, are in Afghanistan. Those numbers are expected to stay roughly the same until post May. From there on the plan is not clear yet.

“No NATO ally wants to stay in Afghanistan longer than necessary, but we have been clear that our presence remains conditions-based,” NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu told Reuters. “Allies continue to assess the overall situation and to consult on the way forward.”

Two days ago, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said the US is taking a “hard look” at how the Taliban is complying with the February agreement.

“What we’re doing right now, is taking a hard look at the extent to which the Taliban are in fact complying with those three conditions, and in that context, we make decisions about our force posture and our diplomatic strategy going forward,” Sullivan said.

Despite the ongoing peace talks between the Afghan Government and the Taliban, the situation in the country remains far from being stable.

Americans Learn Those Involved in the Russia Collusion Coup Will Walk Confirming The Evolution of the Deep State and the Two Tiered Justice System

How many times can you say ‘outrageous’ in one year? Last year set the record.

As Americans are standing in the ashes resulting from the greatest steal in world history – the stolen 2020 election for Joe Biden – the penalties for the Deep State’s prior greatest crime became known. There will be no prison time for anyone involved in the coup to remove President Trump from office using the totally dishonest and manipulated Russia collusion sham investigation.

We reported on crime after crime related to the set up, lies and spying of President Trump and those around him. What is seldom said is that the FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page was really put in place to spy on President Trump. Through the ability to look at multiple layers of a target’s contacts, the President and his Administration and family were all spied on. This wasn’t about Carter Page as much as it was about spying on the President. And of course Obama was behind it all:

But after years of looking into the attempted coup of another sitting American President, the end result is one indictment and probation for the guilty. No prison, no court cases, no lost income in legal fees, no bankruptcies, no Big Media calling the accused liars and Russian spies and traitors, and certainly no hangings as is called for when treason is involved. Nope, the whole scam is over with a guilty plea and probation:

UN Sex Crimes: Guterres’ Draconian Cover-Ups Might Be Soon Over

The UN’s answer to cover them up and punish journalists might be coming to an end as there are signs that member states have had enough. Will the British government lead a new cause?

It’s practically impossible these days to google the word ‘UN’ without being hit with the wave of articles about its sexual harassment cases, which in recent years under Antonio Guterres, appears to have mushroomed into something of a pandemic. Even faithful supporters of the UN will ask themselves how can a global organisation which serenades itself on the world stage as an arbiter of human rights, be the worst offender? When does the organisation reach its tipping point of credibility when reports in mainstream press of UN peacekeepers raping women and children in African hotspots eclipse its other media coverage and its objectives?

Some might argue we are already there as few buy into the new UN chief’s stand on cracking down on sexual harassment and exploitation by simply sanitising the subject with his own personal touch of concern and apparent zeal to fix it. Reasonably, we could ask is it that Guterres with his so-called crackdown has simply cast a stronger light on sexual exploitation and so his own initiatives to investigate and expose the guilty gives the impression that the numbers are growing at the alarming rate they appear to be ? Recent studies have shown that this pandemic has spread to even sexual harassment and even rape within the UN’s own corridors, as UN chiefs escape prosecution under their immunity and are even helped by a corrupt system which destroys those who point the finger. The figures speak for themselves. A recent study showed that as much as a THIRD of female workers in UN agencies had suffered some form of sexual harassment in the office. And the numbers of those which the UN’s internal process nailed? Not even one.

The argument that these new alarming figures could be due to a new awareness campaign by the UN chief himself might have weathered well if it wasn’t for the UN’s spectacular failure to bring justice to those perpetrators of sex crimes, the UN chief’s support for a draconian, vile witch hunt against investigative journalists who expose it and perhaps most importantly Mr Guterres’ own tawdry background and relationship with corruption itself.

UN chief’s vendetta against journo

Guterres has a massive corruption problem within the UN with sexual harassment at the core of it, but it is his own personal touch towards journalists who wishes to probe deeper which is really the problem.

According to one, a Lisbon-based organization which paid Guterres in 2016 – but which the journalist claims he didn’t declare as earnings – is being linked to Patrick Ho, the Hong Kong businessman politico who is in jail now for bribing UN officials. Questions over a proposed deal by the Lisbon organization’s sale of an energy utility to a Chinese firm in 2018 are still a dark cloud hanging over the UN chief who appears at least, to have broken the mould on corruption, compared to Ban Ki-moon and Kofi Anan before him.

The journalist who has caused the stink over his links to the Lisbon gravy train and who continues to expose sex scandals and the tsunami of cover-ups by Guterres and his administration is Matthew R Lee, who is based in New York City and is the victim of a grotesque Machiavellian witch hunt which one would normally associate in countries which the UN assists in Africa where journalists are beaten up, tortured and finally end up disappearing.

Lee reports on UN corruption and scandals and has a vociferous goal to remain objective and not fall into the trap which nearly all journalists do when they relocate to cover multinational organisations like the UN or the EU: become an extension of the organisation’s propaganda.

White House Briefings for Children: Jen Psaki Circles Back

Submitted by Dr. Binoy Kampmark

The Biden administration’s first White House press secretary is keen that things will be done differently under her guidance. The jaw dropping, sniping sessions between the press and government that were characteristic of the Trump administration were going to cease. “When the President asked me to serve in this role,” Jen Psaki outlined in her first press briefing on January 20, 2021, “we talked about the importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room, and he asked me to ensure we are communicating about policies across the Biden-Harris administration and the work his team is doing every single day on behalf of all the American people.”

The press secretary’s job, in any traditional sense, is to dissemble, defend and justify the ill thought out or executed policies of the commander-in-chief. The briefing room is a place to stifle and shape rather than enlighten or inform. The new press secretary seems to think differently, she who is clear about “a common goal, which is sharing accurate information with the American people.”

Her January 20 briefing was tarted up by a deal of dangerous sincerity that marks the well-meaning ideologue. She reminded the press of having “travelled the world on trips to promote democracy, where I saw the power of the United States and, of course, the power of this podium, and the power of truth, and of the importance of setting an example of engagement and transparency.”

Drawing a line under the previous administration, she expressed cosy feelings about the fourth estate, having a “deep respect for the role of a free and independent press in our democracy and for the role all of you play.”

With the cringe worthy ingratiation out of the way, Psaki deployed a method that risks being an irritating hallmark of her tenure. Would the Biden administration, for instance, implement a death penalty moratorium? The answer: start with a general view of the President’s opposition to the death penalty but avoid details. “I don’t have anything more for you in terms of future actions or mechanisms, though. I can – I’ll circle back if there’s more I can share with you.”

On January 21, Psaki stroked away various questions with ever greater, circling vigour. To a question on whether the Defense Production Act had been invoked by the Biden administration she began with an expansive answer without actually answering the question, only to kill it off with a promise for future attention. “I’ll have to just circle back with you on what it – if it’s officially invoked in this moment, or if it takes some time. And we can circle back with you after the briefing.”

A question on whether President Biden would try to rein in religious conscious exemptions for such organisations as the Little Sisters of the Poor, a metaphorically airborne Psaki induced more giddiness. “I haven’t discussed that particular issue with him. I’m happy to circle back with you, but I don’t – there’s not a change in his position from what he said earlier this summer.” Ditto her reply to a question on whether the DC Statehood measure would find its way to the president’s desk within the first 100 days of the administration.

Israeli Raid? Unidentified Gunmen Attacked Syrian Army Post Near Golan Heights

Early on January 31, unidentified gunmen attacked a post of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) right on the separation line with the Israeli-occupied part of the Golan Heights.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that heavy clashes broke out near the post, which is located in the town of Jabah. The heavy clashes were followed by a loud explosion.

“No casualties have been reported so far,” the monitoring group said in a report.

The attack may have been carried out by local gunmen in support of former rebels in western Daraa, who were recently threatened by the SAA.

Another possibility is that the SAA post was raided by Israeli special forces. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) carried out such operations in the past, supposedly to deter Iranian forces.

Last year, the Nahal and Yahalom units of the IDF destroyed two Syrian military posts in the Golan Heights buffer zone in a covert cross-border operation. No casualties were reported back then.

Israel’s aggressive behavior is one of many factors contributing to the current instability in southern Syria. Now, the chaos prevails over the region.

#BidenLied: Antifa, Democrats Lash Out At Biden For Broken Promise To Provide Immediate $2,000 Stimulus

Democrats believe Joe Biden betrayed them on key campaign promises.

Starting early Sunday morning, the hashtag #BidenLied began to go viral on Twitter. Far from conservatives upset with the newly inaugurated Democrat president, many of those using the hashtag believe Joe Biden has already betrayed his base on key promises to end fracking, save Obamacare, and provide an immediate $2,000 stimulus to every American.

At 6 a.m., an accounted took a screenshot of the trend, and wrote, “Americans know Joe Biden lied about $2,000 checks. This won’t end well.”

Kevin Gosztola, the managing editor of the fringe-left website Shadowproof, posted a video of Joe Biden speaking to voters in Georgia.

“The promise from Biden – especially to Georgians (many of them black voters) – was elect Ossoff and Warnock,” wrote Gosztola. “If they win, you’ll break the gridlock and $2,000 checks will be sent out to every American struggling to survive.”

“That promise is being broken.”

Another account posted a screenshot of a news article covering Biden’s promise that $2,000 checks will “go out the door immediately” should Ossoff and Warnock win.

“When is this check coming? When will weed be legal on a federal level? Both promised day one.”

So tomorrow is February 1, 2021 & Joe did not give the ppl the $2000 checks immediately as he promised. Many ppl will lose their homes b/c they did not get this money to pay their rent or mortgages. Broken promises have real life consequences. #BidenLied

One account with an Antifa profile picture posted a meme illustrating that at least some of the criticism of Biden comes from the far left.

More accounts noted that this was not Biden’s only apparent lie.

“He’s already given up on ‘crushing’ the virus,” wrote one user. “Pretty early to give up – don’t you think? He never had a plan – doesn’t have a plan now.”

And, he has already given up on "crushing" the virus. "We can't change the trajectory of the virus" is what he already said – after being in office for less than two weeks. Pretty early to give up – don't you think? He never had a plan – doesn't have a plan now. #BidenLied

Another user illustrated what may be considered fluid goals of the new administration.

“$2000 immediately = $1400 maybe in April,” wrote the user.

$2000 immediately = $1400 maybe in April.

Drilling ban = Approving 30 new drill sites.

Close private prisons = Affects only 14,000 prisoners.

"Democracy" = Support right-wing coup in Venezuela.

$15 minimum wage = Maybe in 5 years.

Public option = Gone.#BidenLied

More users joined in expressing their disgust with Biden’s perceived inaction to address climate change, and his decision to stack his cabinet with establishment figures from the energy and banking sectors.

Others pointed out that Biden has a long history of lying to the public, going back to his first presidential campaign in the 1970s, when Biden lied repeatedly on the campaign trail about his background, accomplishments, and college ranking.
