Calls for Bank of America boycott grow after data given to FBI

Customers are calling for a boycott of Bank of America, after a report that the bank handed over the account information of hundreds of innocent people in connection with the Jan. 6 deadly riots at the Capitol.

At the request of the FBI, the country’s second-largest bank allegedly snooped through information of anyone making certain purchases in and around Washington before and after the riots, and handed over the information of 211 people, according to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.

Only one of those 211 people was brought in for questioning, and none of them were arrested, according to Fox’s report.

Federal investigators reportedly asked Bank of America for information on customers who made debit or credit card purchases in DC, reserved hotels and Airbnbs in and around the capital, patronized weapons store and made airline reservations within the timeframe surrounding the attacks.

Now, customers and non-customers alike are calling those reported actions an overreach, and taking to Twitter to announce they are canceling their accounts and calling on others to do the same.

“‘Bye bye, Bank of America’: Outraged customers boycott firm as it’s revealed the bank snooped through HUNDREDS of innocent people’s accounts looking for Capitol rioters – so who else is doing it?,” one user posted.

“Time to get out of Bank of America. Boycott them,” wrote another.

“The customer should SUE @BankofAmerica unless there was a subpoena involved!,” another user commented.

Bank of America released a statement Friday about the claims: “We don’t comment on our communications with law enforcement. All banks have responsibilities under federal law to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries in full compliance with the law.”

“If clients reach out to us and raise concerns, we’ll certainly speak to them about their concerns,” Bank of America spokesman William Halldin told The Post.

Under the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act, financial institutions are required to cooperate with law enforcement to detect money laundering, terrorist financing and other criminal acts.

The FBI has arrested more than 170 people in connection with the breach of the US Capitol, and have vowed to hunt down hundreds more rioters.

Five people — including a Capitol Police officer — died during the riots, and a second member of the Capitol Police and an officer with the DC Metro Police took their own lives in the aftermath.

Police and federal authorities were woefully overmatched by violent rioters on Jan. 6.

Then-President Donald Trump was impeached for a second time over his alleged role in inciting the riot, and faces a Senate trial next week.

BERNIE SANDERS: ‘It Was Never My Intention To Raise The Minimum Wage Immediately And During The Pandemic’

Sanders among senators who unanimously passed Republican budget amendment to block $15 minimum wage in Covid stimulus package

Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) lent his support to a Republican budget amendment to prevent Congress from raising the minimum wage to $15 on Friday, claiming that he never actually supported raising the minimum wage “immediately and during the pandemic.” Sanders described the popular belief that he supported a minimum wage hike in the Covid stimulus package was the result of a “misunderstanding.”

The measure, which passed unanimously via voice vote, dealt a fatal blow to the hopes of progressive activists who pushed for the inclusion of $15 wage legislation within the congressional $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill.

“I will do everything that I can to make sure a $15-an-hour minimum wage is included in this reconciliation bill, but there appears to be some misunderstanding,” Sanders stated.

Joe Biden raised leftist hopes for a nationwide $15 minimum wage in January, but the executive order he ended up signing only increased the wage for government employees.

Via National File:

In his flurry of executive orders, Joe Biden raised the federal workers’ minimum wage to $15 per hour. Biden, apparently seeking to make good on the Democrat wish to see the federal minimum wage raised, may have caused confusion, as instead of raising the federal minimum wage through Congress, Biden simply raised the minimum wage for federal workers, in a tricky series of linguistics.

The Epoch Times reports that Biden signed the executive order on Friday, January 22. The order demands federal employees – like post office employees – be paid $15 per hour, and gives them emergency paid leave.

The order also is not unilateral. It simply “instructs the Office of Personnel Management to develop recommendations to agencies that would ensure as many employees as possible get a $15 per hour minimum wage.”

Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, has shown little signs of breaking away from the party line when it comes to supporting Biden administration policy proposals.

China and Russia have formed axis of power, NATO’s top general warns

China and Russia have put their disagreements aside to form an axis of power with plans to form a “new international order”.

China and Russia are forming a new axis of power, NATO’s top general has warned.

Tod Wolters, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, or SACEUR, has told reporters that growing co-operation “really does suggest an emergence of a partnership of convenience”.

It’s a partnership that potentially spans the globe, from the Middle East to the Western Pacific and Arctic north.

“We are ever so vigilant with respect to that growing co-operation,” Wolters said. Such co-operation advanced mutual interests, “and that advancement could be to the detriment of Europe and corresponding and surrounding nations”.

NATO has accused Russia of breaching international treaties through the development of new nuclear weapons. It also blames Russian-sourced cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns for destabilising the West.

China is also coming under increased scrutiny over its repression of the Uighur and Tibetan peoples and its aggressive territorial claims and ‘debt-trap’ diplomacy.

Meanwhile, both authoritarian governments show intense interest in the Arctic as the retreating ice exposes potential new oil, gas and mineral reserves.

“In the face of increasing aggressive activity in the high north from both Russia, which is an Arctic nation, and China, which claims to be a near-Arctic nation, we must maintain a favourable balance of power in this region for ourselves and for our allies,” outgoing US Navy Secretary Kenneth Braithwaite warned last month.

Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, Once Bragged with Ben Rhodes – “We’re Liars” and “Lying Footsoldiers”

Jake Sullivan by his own admission is a “liar” and “a lying footsoldier”. This uniquely qualifies him for the position of Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor. He’s just perfect for the job.

Breitbart reported today:

The Russia hoax divided the nation, damaged confidence in our elections, and undermined national security. It nearly toppled a democratically-elected government. And it was all a lie.

The only person who has ever been punished is former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who was involved in the Obama administration’s effort to investigate the supposed collusion. He pleaded guilty to forging an email that led the FISA court to grant a surveillance warrant against Carter Page — and, through him, the Trump campaign.

Clinesmith was sentenced this week — to probation, community service, and a $100 court fee, barely more than a parking ticket in many major cities.

Most of the other people involved in the hoax have earned promotions, joining the many Obama-era officials who have “failed upwards” into new positions in the Biden Administration.

One such is National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who falsely accused Michael Flynn of conspiring with Russia, and spread his theories among leading journalists.

Instead of apologizing to Flynn and to the public for the hoax, Sullivan now finds himself in Flynn’s old job in the White House.

Sullivan is just perfect for the Biden gang. He’s an admitted liar.

In documents released in June 2020, Sullivan in an email to creepy Ben Rhodes claimed that he was a “lying foot soldier”:

Four Americans died in Benghazi and Sullivan and Rhodes were busy joking about their lies.

Now Sullivan is entrusted with all the Intel the government can provide him. This guy should never be anywhere near the White House.

Pentagon blog warns that freedom leads to populism, which “undermines national security”

The military-industrial complex is doubling down on its crusade against free expression, warning that the First Amendment should no longer be tolerated because it threatens “national security.”

Citing the Jan. 6 “insurrection” against the United States Capitol as proof, Divya Ramjee and Elsa B. Kania, writing for the Pentagon’s Defense One blog, contend that all online free speech needs to be filtered by a Ministry of Truth in order to prevent the type of “disinformation and incitements to violence” that led to the Capitol false flag attack.

“The events of January 6 showed existing approaches to quell disinformation and incitements to violence on social media platforms have failed, badly,” Ramjee and Kania write.

“Even though the companies that run these platforms are displaying a new willingness to police them, up to and including banning the worst offenders, claims that U.S. tech companies can self-regulate and moderate dangerous content comprehensively should be regarded with extreme skepticism.”

Twitter recently announced the rollout of a new “Birdwatch” feature that allows the leftist mob to snitch on other users who spread “wrongthink.” This is still not enough for the Pentagon, though.

“Twitter’s recent launch of Birdwatch, a crowd-sourcing forum to combat misinformation, is a welcome measure but at best a partial and imperfect solution to a far more systemic problem,” Ramjee and Kania further write. “Instead, it is time, at long last, to regulate.”

Pentagon wants to “restructure fundamentally how social media platforms operate”

No matter what anti-free speech measures they try to impose on users, the tech giants always seem to come up short in the eyes of the Pentagon. The only solution, according to this deep state behemoth, is to “restructure fundamentally how social media platforms operate.”

“New rules must be introduced for the algorithms that decide what users see and for the data these companies collect for themselves, as well as data scraping by third parties,” Ramjee and Kania contend.

Another tool is artificial intelligence (AI), which can be programmed to steer traffic away from “misinformation” and towards the official government narrative on a particular subject. A Facebook user might be steered away from an article exposing 2020 election fraud, as one example, and instead be presented with an article claiming that Joe Biden is the rightful “president.”

Twitter already uses AI technology to promote the “best” tweets that are considered “more relevant,” meaning content that is government-approved. All other tweets are buried or shadow-banned for deviating from the “rightspeak” narrative.

The Pentagon wants to see Congress pass “robust legislation” to oversee how data is aggregated. AI algorithms need to be specifically programmed, it says, to ensure that all users are receiving the same propaganda at the same time, producing uniformity in belief.

The Pentagon also wants Congress to “tackle issues of far-right extremism and white supremacist violence that have become global threats.” No mention is made in Ramjee and Kania’s report about the threat of black and other racial group supremacy, which is also a threat.

Persons out of 100 May Experience the Inconvenient Side Effect of DEATH

Dems Are Calling This 'Sedition': Missouri Subverts Biden Gun Laws, Nullifies Federal Statutes

On the same day the Missouri Senate debated 17 hours into the predawn to “perfect” a COVID-19 business liability protection bill, the Missouri House acted fast passing a bill prohibiting state law enforcement agencies from enforcing federal firearms regulations.

House Bill 85, the ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act,’ sponsored by Rep. Jered Taylor, R-Nixa, proceeded to a closing House floor hearing Wednesday in a 107-43 mostly partisan vote.

The measure would nullify federal laws or “other actions deemed to infringe on a person’s Second Amendment right to bear arms,” while claiming not to trespass on federal authority to enforce federal gun laws in Missouri.

All Missouri gun laws would persist in effect under the bill, which is one step away from approval by the chamber and transfer to the Senate where a comparable ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act’ awaits a first floor hearing.

Sen. Eric Burlison, R-Battlefield, Senate Bill 39 was proposed by the chamber’s General Laws Committee on Jan. 26.

Burlison sponsored the same bill a year ago though did not get a Senate hearing and, most prominently, the 2013 ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act’ that lawmakers approved yet was vetoed by then-Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat.

Through a Jan. 19 hearing before the General Laws panel, Burlison predicted President Joe Biden’s administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress will seek an aggressive gun control agenda highlighting “gun bans directly, magazine bans, attacks on private gun manufacturers, red flag laws and restrictions on individual citizens from buying firearms.”

That same concern was shown by House Republicans throughout Wednesday’s deliberation on HB 85, countered by Democrats yelling concerns by state law enforcement officials regarding the potential ramifications on task force collaborations with federal agents and grant funding.

Lewis County Sheriff David Parrish has raised concerns with some of the bill’s language and Greene County Sheriff Jim C. Arnott has distributed a letter asking lawmakers to refuse the bill.

“We need state laws that will make it easier to keep our communities safe, not those that have unintended consequences and silence law enforcement officials,” Arnott’s letter stated.

Taylor’s originally filed ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act’ held individual law enforcement officers accountable to fines and lawsuits if found to “knowingly enforce or attempt to enforce federal gun laws nullified in Missouri.”

Taylor Wednesday obtained approval for an amendment shielding individual law enforcement officers from financial liability though allowing those deemed illegally infringed to sue police departments with violation incurring minimum fines of $50,000.

Rep. Peter Merideth, D-St. Louis, found Taylor’s amendment to make police departments accountable for paying violation fines and exposed lawsuits a bit ironic. “In other words,” he queried, “if we don’t like the way a department is behaving, we should defund the police?”

No, Taylor said, but when police violate citizens’ constitutional rights, they must be held accountable.

“We’re not preventing those funds from going to the department,” he concluded.

COVID-19 Killed 14% Of New York’s Nursing Home Population

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, hasn’t received enough criticism for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

His March 25 mandate that nursing homes accept COVID-positive patients on short notice whether they were equipped to isolate and care for them or not is arguably one of the most disastrous policies anyone in the U.S. enacted during the pandemic. To avoid necessary scrutiny over the mandate, the Cuomo administration undercounted the deaths by including thousands of nursing home patient deaths with hospital deaths, since the patients were transferred to hospitals prior to their death.Now the real numbers have been released (as much as you can trust the Cuomo administration after it lied about the number of nursing home deaths), and they reveal that nearly 13,000 people died in New York nursing homes due to COVID-19. The Empire Center, a non-partisan think tank, reported that number accounts for 14% of New York’s “pre-pandemic nursing home population.”

The numbers are shocking, but the Center included more information about the other 49 states and Washington, D.C., reporting that the national average of nursing home deaths was 12% of the pre-pandemic nursing home population. This means New York was above average in nursing home deaths (other populous states, like California and Florida, were below average).

The numbers are stark, but New York wasn’t even the worst state as far as deaths as a percentage of 2019 resident population. Massachusetts was the worst state in that regard, losing about 22% of their pre-pandemic nursing home population.New York is actually the 13th worst, behind Massachusetts, Connecticut, Idaho, Arizona, Oregon, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, D.C., Minnesota, North Dakota, and Georgia.
