The Strategic Air Command (SAC)

Background

The Strategic Air Command (SAC) was both a Major Command (MAJCOM) of the United States Air Force and a “specified command” of the United States Department of Defense. SAC was the operational establishment in charge of America’s land-based strategic bomber aircraft and land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) strategic nuclear arsenal from 1946 to 1992. SAC also controlled the infrastructure necessary to support the strategic bomber and ICBM operations, such as aerial refueling tanker aircraft to refuel the bombers in flight, strategic reconnaissance aircraft, command post aircraft, and, until 1957, fighter escorts.

Were Nazi Jews Behind the Holocaust?

In 1988, Gunther Plaut, a prominent Canadian Rabbi published a book implying Frankist Jews were responsible for the holocaust. The idea was endorsed by no less an authority than Elie Wiesel.

"The Man Who Would be Messiah" is a novelized biography of Jacob Frank (1726-1791) who led a Satanic heresy against orthodox Judaism. Frank claimed to be the Messiah and reincarnation of another Satanic impostor, Shabbetai Zvi (1626-1676). Their aim was to destroy the social order (nation, family, race, religion, property) and turn Torah morality on its head.

What had been prohibited would be allowed: adultery, incest, pedophilia. (This is the occult origin of our "sexual liberation.") Inspired by the Cabala, they practiced "holiness through sin." Good would come through the annihilation of Western civilization and the triumph of Evil. They hated Torah Jews and constantly plotted to destroy them.

The Rothschilds are Sabbatean-Frankists. This Satanic movement gave birth to the Illuminati, Communism and the NWO.

It controls the world today. But ironically, while many Illuminati pretend to be Jews, they actually wish to destroy Jews who earlier had excommunicated and vilified them.

plaut.jpg(left. author Gunther Plaut, 1912-2012, was President of the Canadian Jewish Congress from 1977-80)

Thus, there is an unrecognized schism in the Jewish people, where heretics have exterminated the mainstream and taken control of the remnant through Zionism. Yet, due to the anti-Semitism organized by the Illuminati Jews, Jews mistakenly cling to their leadership.

The Nazi hierarchy was probably of Frankist origin. We'll look at this evidence later. But first we'll examine what Rabbi Plaut, who was President of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said about their holocaust plan.

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE MESSIAH

The Frankists cover their tracks. Biographies of Jacob Frank are out of print and very expensive ($300). Nevertheless Gunther Plaut researched Frank thoroughly and presented a perceptive and complex portrait of Frank as a conscious con-artist who sought power for its own sake.

Frank1.jpgAccording to Plaut, Frank regarded Jews as a barrier to the "new order." He puts these words in Frank's mouth:

"Yes, the Jews. Someone will come and discover that he can't upset the old values without destroying the people who really believe in them and, what's worse, practice them. And when he's convinced that the Jews stand in his way, he'll find ways to kill them all. Destroy them, exterminate them like vermin." (141)

In his Foreword, Elie Wiesel says Plaut "offers an interpretation of another personage [i.e. Hitler] who on a different level allied himself with the Evil one to destroy our people." (13)

Plaut has Frank say, "the Jews should be killed because they believe in traditional morality and thereby perpetuate the status quo in the world." (151)

But Frank's Satanic hatred of God naturally extended to all religions:

"I have come to bring revolution into the world. Muslims, Catholics, Russian or Greek Orthodox, Jews – I've come to liberate people from their enslavement to law, and I start with religion. Deceiving their priests and acolytes is a benefit to mankind, you understand." (151)

Taiwan Reports Largest Ever Incursion by Chinese Air Force

TAIPEI—Twenty Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone on Friday, in the largest incursion yet reported by the island’s defence ministry and marking a dramatic escalation of tension across the Taiwan Strait.

The island’s defence ministry said the air force deployed missiles to “monitor” the incursion into the southwestern part of its air defense identification zone. It also said its planes warned the Chinese aircraft, including by radio.

It marked the largest incursion to date by the Chinese air force since Taiwan’s defense ministry began disclosing almost daily Chinese military flights over the waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands in the South China Sea last year.

Some of the Chinese aircraft flew in the airspace to the south of Taiwan and passed through the Bashi Channel which separates the island from the Philippines, Taiwan’s defense ministry said in a statement.

A person familiar with Taiwan’s security planning told Reuters the Chinese military was conducting exercises that would simulate an operation against U.S. warships that sail through the Bashi Channel.

China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory, has stepped up military activities near the democratic island in recent months, a move Taiwan says jeopardizes regional stability.

The presence of so many Chinese combat aircraft on Friday’s mission—Taiwan said it was made up of four nuclear-capable H-6K bombers and 10 J-16 fighter jets, among others—was unusual and came as the island’s air force suspended all training missions after two fighter jet crashes this week.

There was no immediate comment from China’s defense ministry. Beijing routinely says such exercises are nothing unusual and are designed to show the country’s determination to defend its sovereignty.

Earlier on Friday, Taiwan and the United States signed their first agreement under the administration of new president Joe Biden, establishing a Coast Guard Working Group to coordinate policy, after China’s passing of a law that allows its coast guard to fire on foreign vessels.

While the United States, like most countries, has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, it is bound by law to help Taiwan defend itself and is the island’s main arms supplier.

Biden Administration Converting Third Convention Center to Illegal Immigrant Holding Facility

President Joe Biden’s administration is going to use a third convention center to house illegal immigrant youth.

The Freeman Expo Center in San Antonio is being converted to an Emergency Intake Center for children who cross the southern border without their parents.

Up to 2,400 kids can be housed at the facility, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).

“The Emergency Intake Site will provide ORR with needed capacity to accept children from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) into its care where they can be safely processed, cared for and either released to a sponsor or transferred to an appropriate ORR shelter for longer-term care. The Emergency Intake Site is intended for use as a temporary measure,” the agency said in a statement obtained by The Epoch Times.

The administration has already reached deals to house up to 1,400 immigrant youth in the San Diego Convention Center and up to 2,300 youth in the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas.

Additionally, officials have opened at least five other locations to hold the children, and the Pentagon accepted requests to keep thousands of youth at Fort Bliss and another several hundred at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland. In total, ORR operates over 200 facilities and programs in 22 states. There’s also a plan to send illegal immigrant families to hotels, with taxpayers footing the bill.

Bexar County’s manager didn’t immediately return an inquiry. Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, asked about facilities possibly being used to house immigrants, told reporters on Tuesday that no agreement had been reached yet.

“We do have facilities there. They’re climate control. They’re large. But we are talking about, how will we handle security? Who would be the food provider, who will actually be managing the place? It’d be pretty much our job to, if we do it, to coordinate with them and to make the space available, but no agreements been reached yet. We’re just now talking about a possible contract,” he said.

The United States saw a jump in illegal border crossings in February, including an increase of over 3,600 unaccompanied minors from the month before. Officials have struggled to deal with the increase, with overcrowded conditions in Border Patrol facilities exposed through leaked photographs.

Inspired by James Younger’s Story, Proposed Bill Would Classify Child Sex Changes as Abuse

"There are more children’s gender clinics now than there are adult gender clinics because that’s where the money is.”

State Rep. Steve Toth (R-Spring) publicly presented for the first time yesterday his bill to ban sex-change procedures for children.

House Bill (HB) 68, which Toth has dubbed “The Innocence Protection Act,” has sat in the Texas House Public Health Committee for a month. It would classify medical procedures to change a child’s sex, such as puberty blockers or genital surgeries, as child abuse.

A number of activists and medical professionals appeared at the presser to speak alongside Toth and Jeff Younger, the father of James Younger. James is a young Texas boy whose mother claims against the father’s opposition that he is a transgender girl named Luna. Mr. Younger and the boy’s mother engaged in a fraught and publicized tug-of-war over custody rights with treatment for the boy’s alleged gender dysphoria at stake.

Mr. Younger claims that James’ mother Anne Georgulas was close to getting the boy puberty blockers and other physical sex change treatments before the court granted him joint conservatorship over his son.

“It’s very clear that schools, government agencies, courts, and psychological boards of examiners are not going to do the right thing,” Younger said.

Peter Daszak Led Conference Sponsored By Chinese Communist Party.

Under the leadership of World Health Organization COVID-19 investigator Peter Daszak, his EcoHealth Alliance group organized a China-based conference that counted various Chinese Communist Party-controlled entities as sponsors.

The news of the CCP-backed conference follows National Pulse reporting highlighting Daszak’s involvement with other Chinese government-sponsored conferences and promotion of Chinese state-run media outlets on his social media.

The October 2012 event – “Sustaining Ecosystems, Supporting Health” – was held in the Chinese city of Kunming, in the Yunnan province, about 2 hours flight from Wuhan.

Daszak is listed as a member of the conference’s Steering Committee and an ex-officio board member of the organizer: the International Association for Ecology & Health. Daszak also served as Editor-in-Chief of EcoHealth, a publication associated with the conference’s sponsor. The journal’s website now displays “OOPS! THAT PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND” on pages relating to the 2012 conference, including the event’s schedule, presenter abstracts, and concluding statements.

Archived versions of the site, however, reveal Daszak chaired two sessions at the conference on “USAID-PREDICT: Developing a global early warning system for emerging pandemics” and “OneHealth, and Emerging, Re-emerging and Resurging Infectious Diseases.” He also delivered a presentation on “mapping global vulnerability to pandemics and an economic approach to their prevention.”

“In this symposium, the participants will discuss the investments and issues involved with moving towards a global surveillance and response system for emerging zoonotic diseases, and lessons learned the past 3 years of the Emerging Pandemic Threats program. This will include an EcoHealth or ‘One Health’ strategy for wildlife pathogen discovery, risk determination through the use of geo-temporal models, and strengthening local laboratory and field capacities for investigating and responding to disease outbreaks,” an archived summary of Daszak’s panel reads.

Also speaking at the conference were several academic from Chinese state-run universities and think-tanks, including a former Deputy Director-General of China’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.

One of the conference organizers – the Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB) – counts researchers who admit to editing scientific encyclopedias to better the “construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics” and operate “under the direct leadership of Communist Party of China.” KIB researchers have also included honors such as “Excellent Communist Party Member” on their resumes.

Phillip John Cooper admits sex crimes against kids in the Philippines

A Victorian man has admitted to five sick acts after he was caught with disgusting videos of himself with a female child in the Philippines.

A Victorian man has pleaded guilty to five charges related to the sexual abuse of children in the Philippines.

Phillip John Cooper pleaded guilty to in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday to soliciting child porn, engaging in sexual activity with a child under 16 in the Philippines, causing child abuse material to be sent to him, possessing child abuse material, and intent to engage in sexual intercourse with a child under 16.

Cooper was arrested on November 7, 2019, after being stopped by authorities at Melbourne Airport.

A subsequent search of his home turned up videos of Cooper engaging in sexual activity with female Filipino children, police say.

Nine children, including some as young as two years old, were rescued in the Philippines in February after a tip-off from Australian Federal Police.

Philippine National Police launched an operation on February 3, 2021, in Angeles City, north of the capital Manila, that also led to the arrest of a 42-year-old woman for her alleged role as the facilitator.

The children, aged between two and 16 years old, were removed from harm after the AFP alerted the Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Centre.

Members of the public who have any information about people involved in child abuse and exploitation are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Cooper will next appear in the County Court on August 25.

Police are banned from searching the Queen's private Sandringham and Balmoral estates for looted historic artefacts under special exemption

Police are not allowed to searched Queen's private estates for stolen artefacts

Her Majesty was granted a special exemption from the Cultural Property Act

The law seeks to prevent the destruction of cultural heritage in future conflicts

Police have been banned from searching the Queen's private estates for stolen or looted artefacts, it emerged today.

Her Majesty was given immunity from the Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Act, which protects valuable cultural objects.

According to The Guardian, citing documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act, the exemption is understood to have been made before the bill became law in 2017.

The law seeks to prevent the destruction of cultural heritage, including monuments, archaeological sites and works of art in future conflicts.

Part of the act also makes it an offence to deal in cultural property, 'knowing or having reason to suspect that it has been unlawfully exported.'

The definition of 'dealing' includes acquiring by purchase, donation, or loan.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told MailOnline: 'The Royal Household can be consulted on Bills in order to ensure the technical accuracy and consistency of the application of the Bill to the Crown, a complex legal principle governed by statue and common law.

'This process does not change the nature of any such Bill.'

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) gave the monarch the special dispensation - according to the Guardian - following a letter to Buckingham Palace in 2016, from a private secretary working for then culture secretary, John Whittingdale.

The documents were requested by the newspaper as part of its investigation into Queen's consent.

The letter from Whittingdale's secretary states that the exemption applies only to the Queen and her private estates - meaning police are banned from searching Balmoral and Sandringham.

Police are still allowed to search properties that are part of the crown estate.

Section 30 of the 2017 act states: 'Nothing in this section affects Her Majesty in her private capacity.'

A DCMS spokesperson said: 'It is incorrect to suggest that there was any direct attempt to obscure the purpose of any clause. It is common for legislation to include an exception for Her Majesty the Queen in her private capacity.'

Tennessee man faces child pornography charges

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Clarksville, Tennessee man was arrested last week and charged with possession of child pornography.

Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) agents arrested Austin Kidd, 27, March 17, 2021, at his residence. After appearing before a U.S. Magistrate Judge, he was ordered held in custody pending trial.

“The predators who exploit children through the production and distribution of child pornography often cause the victims to suffer long-term effects,” said Jerry C. Templet, Jr., special agent in charge, HSI Nashville. “The perpetrator in this case was only steps away from being hired as a substitute teacher for middle school children, making his actions especially egregious. HSI Nashville agents will continue to investigate these perpetrators to ensure they are punished for their heinous actions.”

According to the criminal complaint on file with U.S. District Court, in March 2020, HSI Nashville received an investigative referral pertaining to Kidd and his internet activity in April 2019. Agents identified a Facebook account, “ShadowPhoenix24”, as belonging to Kidd and through further investigation, agents identified Internet Protocol addresses associated with Kidd’s home address in Clarksville. Agents were also aware that in August 2019, a foreign law enforcement agency notified the FBI of an IP address in San Antonio, Texas, that was used to access online child sexual abuse and exploitation material. This address was found to have been occupied by Kidd during the time the access occurred and before he relocated to Clarksville.

Through further investigation, HSI agents determined that the IP address associated with Kidd’s Clarksville residence had accessed The Onion Router network, which is a network that masks the IP address of users and is commonly used by persons when accessing child pornography.

Agents obtained a federal search warrant for Kidd’s residence based on the information obtained through the investigation, and subsequently seized his cell phone and other media storage devices. To date, approximately 260 suspected images and videos depicting child sexual abuse have been identified on the devices.

The complaint further alleges that Kidd is in the final hiring process to become a substitute teacher for middle school children.

If convicted, Kidd faces up to 20 years in prison.

A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Kidd is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

HSI is a directorate of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), responsible for investigating transnational crime and threats, specifically those criminal organizations that exploit the global infrastructure through which international trade, travel, and finance move. HSI’s workforce of over 10,400 employees consists of more than 7,100 Special Agents assigned to 220 cities throughout the United States, and 80 overseas locations in 53 countries. HSI’s international presence represents DHS’s largest investigative law enforcement presence abroad and one of the largest international footprints in U.S. law enforcement.

ICE removes child molester with multiple convictions from Washington state to Mexico

SEATTLE - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers removed a Mexican national Tuesday, who is a dangerous public safety threat with convictions in both Washington and Oregon for egregious crimes including first degree child molestation, first degree attempt to commit sexual penetration, and first degree attempt to commit sexual abuse.

Juan Manuel Enriquez-Martinez, 40, was convicted June 23, 2015 in the Wasco County Circuit Court of Oregon of attempting to commit sexual penetration and for attempting to commit sexual abuse in the first degree for which respective sentences of 56 months and 14 months confinement were imposed.

On Jan. 19, 2016, Enriquez-Martinez was convicted in the Klickitat County Superior Court for the State of Washington of child molestation in the first degree for which a sentence of 68 months of confinement was imposed.

Enriquez-Martinez came to the attention of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers as a result of his criminal convictions.

On March 1, 2016, ICE ERO’s Portland office lodged an immigration detainer on Enriquez-Martinez with the Federal Correction Institute in Sheridan, Oregon, where he was being detained. ICE lodges immigration detainers on individuals like Enriquez-Martinez who have been arrested on local criminal charges and who are suspected of being removable, so that ICE can take custody of that person when he or she is released from local custody.

On Feb. 22, 2021, the Washington Department of Corrections transferred custody of Enrique-Martinez to ICE.

On March 10, 2021, an immigration judge ordered Enriquez-Martinez removed to Mexico and Enriquez-Martinez waived his right to appeal the decision.

Enriquez-Martinez was removed from the United States via an ICE Air Operations charter flight and transferred to the custody of Mexican authorities.

ICE is now implementing the civil immigration enforcement priorities directed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Jan. 20, 2021, to focus its limited resources on threats to national security, border security and public safety. ICE will continue to carry out its duty to enforce the laws of the United States in accordance with the Department’s national security and public safety mission.

Fauci: ‘Breakthrough’ COVID cases post-vaccination are ‘not surprising’

Post-vaccination “breakthrough” COVID-19 infections are being taken “seriously,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday as federal officials expressed concern about rising coronavirus cases in the US.

“With regard to the breakthrough cases of people who have been vaccinated and ultimately have gotten infection, obviously this is something that we take seriously and follow closely,” the nation’s top infectious disease expert said during virtual White House coronavirus briefing.

Fauci explained that some breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated individuals is not entirely uncommon with any vaccination effort.

“You will see breakthrough infections in any vaccination when you’re vaccinating literally tens and tens and tens of millions of people, so in some respects that’s not surprising,” said Fauci.

Fauci said that “one of the important things that will be done, and must be done, is to sequence the genome of the virus that’s the breakthrough virus” in order to find out whether infection was from the original virus strain or one of the COVID-19 variants.

“It would be very important to see if they broke through with the wild-type virus, which would indicate a real diminution of immunity or whether it broke through with one of the variants, which would be much more explainable if you don’t have enough cross-reactivity,” he said.

Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, added, “So all of that information will be collected and will be very informative to us about the type and the frequency of breakthrough that we’ll be seeing.”

Fauci’s comments come after Minnesota reported this week 89 breakthrough infections among people who have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

None of them were among Minnesota’s 6,798 COVID-19 fatalities, including the nine deaths reported Wednesday, and doctors noted that even those who were hospitalized after being vaccinated had milder illness, the Star Tribune reported.

Idaho health officials also said this week there have been fewer than 100 reported breakthrough COVID-19 cases, according to KTVB.

Meanwhile, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during the briefing that the US is averaging about 57,000 COVID-19 cases per day and that the seven-day average of cases has ticked up by 7 percent.

Biden's Lies About the Border Crisis Leave the 'Disinformation Police' Strangely Quiet

There’s no doubt that if you spend much time on the internet, you’re going to be buried in an avalanche of false claims, exaggerations, conspiracy theories with no basis in fact, and outright, bald-faced lies from politicians of the right, left, and center.

The “Information Age” has become a nightmare from which we are unable to awaken. As it turns out, there is, indeed, such a thing as too much information. We are all forced to selectively filter what information we process, resulting in our natural biases playing a large role in what information we actually absorb.

Take the border crisis. Whom do you believe? Whose opinion do you trust? Whose facts can you rely on?

Is anything “true”?

Jim Geraghty:

Yet yesterday, President Joe Biden stood before the American public and insisted that “nothing has changed,” and that everything we were seeing — to the extent the Biden administration is allowing the public to see it — was normal: “Truth of the matter is nothing has changed. As many people came, 28 percent increase in children to the border in my administration. 31 percent in the last year of — in 2019, before the pandemic, in the Trump administration. It happens every single solitary year. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March.”

That’s a lie. Not a misstatement of fact. We have a record number of people coming to the border — 45 percent above the highest year on record. That makes it a crisis to all but the hackiest partisan out there.

Our large and respected institutions — the mainstream media, big tech companies, the heights of academia, think tanks such as the Aspen Institute — are well-practiced and on guard to spot and dispel any misinformation that comes from the right side of the political spectrum. But they either don’t see, don’t care, fear confronting, or support misinformation that comes from the left side of the political spectrum.

When one side claims ownership of the truth and then deliberately — or unconsciously — subverts it by being guilty of the same sins they accuse the other side of committing, society is in deep trouble.

But we also have to deal with much bigger, much more prestigious voices who tell us Andrew Cuomo’s “competent and, at times, charismatic handling of the coronavirus crisis in his state has made him one of the most popular politicians in America today.” And the credulous coverage of that Florida Grim Reaper guy, who argued that people were taking reckless risks with others’ lives by going to the beach. And the nonsensical claims of the so-called “top scientist” leading Florida’s pandemic response, who has held three jobs in her field, with all three ending in her being terminated and criminally charged. And that Georgia’s decision to allow gyms, churches, and hair and nail salons to reopen represented an “experiment in human sacrifice.”

Information is more than facts and opinions. It is words and ideas. And in the hands of a clever wordsmith, up can appear to be down, black can look like white, and ideas can be twisted and manipulated to serve whatever master is paying for it.

U.S. nonprofit failed to disclose taxpayer grants to Wuhan coronavirus lab, watchdog says

EcoHealth Alliance has for years been linked with Chinese infectious disease laboratory suspected as possible source of the novel coronavirus.

A watchdog group is claiming that a U.S. bio-research nonprofit failed to follow U.S. law and publicly disclose its taxpayer-funded grants to a Chinese coronavirus laboratory under scrutiny for its immediate proximity to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The White Coat Waste Project, a group dedicated to stopping taxpayer funding of what it claims is "wasteful and cruel animal experimentation," claimed last week in a filing to the National Institutes of Health's Division of Program Integrity that EcoHealth Alliance has engaged in "widespread violations of federal spending transparency law" by way of numerous press releases over the past several years.

Federal tax records show that EcoHealth Alliance funneled federal NIH grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for several years leading up to the start of the pandemic, ultimately handing the lab hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to conduct experiments into potentially pandemic coronaviruses. The Wuhan lab is located just a few miles from where Chinese officials claimed the pandemic began at a local wet market.

In its letter to the NIH, White Coat claims that EcoHealth has "failed to publicly disclose taxpayer funding for its work with WIV, in violation of federal law."

The group says EcoHealth violated the Stevens Amendment, a federal provision that directs recipients of some federal grants to "make certain funding disclosures when issuing statements, press releases, bid solicitations, and other documents describing their grant project or program," according to the Government Accountability Office.

Recipients of grants from the Department of Health and Human Services — of which the NIH is a sub-agency — are enjoined to make such disclosures. White Coat claims that "virtually all of EHA's press releases reporting its taxpayer-funded experiments over the last three years violate the Stevens Amendment."

The group cites multiple press releases as examples, including ones from 2018 and 2020, both of which reference work done in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and neither of which disclose its links to federal funding.

Peter Daszak, the president of EcoHealth Alliance, did not respond to queries seeking comment on the allegations. Nor did Deborah Kearse, the director of the NIH's Division of Program Integrity, to whom the letter was addressed.

Justin Goodman, the vice president of advocacy and public policy at White Coat, told Just the News that the NIH had confirmed receipt of the complaint following its submission.

"Taxpayers have a right to know — and federal law requires that we're told — exactly how much of our money EcoHealth has shipped to the notorious CCP-run Wuhan animal lab for reckless coronavirus experiments that may have caused the pandemic," Goodman said.

"EcoHealth's rampant violations of federal transparency law are yet another example of the group and its President Peter Daszak obscuring their close ties to — and financial support for — the Wuhan animal lab."

Taliban to Target Foreign Troops If US Fails to Pull Forces Out of Afghanistan By 1 May

US President Joe Biden earlier claimed that it would be difficult to withdraw all American forces from Afghanistan by 1 May, thus suggesting that Washington might violate obligations made under a peace agreement with the Taliban (considered a terrorist organisation in Russia).

The Taliban has issued a statement warning that the group will resume hostilities against foreign troops in Afghanistan if they do not withdraw by 1 May.

"[We will be] compelled to defend its religion and homeland and continue its Jihad and armed struggle against foreign forces to liberate its country", the statement from the terrorist organisation said.

The statement by the militant group comes in the wake of US President Joe Biden's first press conference during which he claimed that withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan by 1 May might prove "hard" to pull off. However, The Taliban regards a scenario in which Washington fails to complete its withdrawal in time as "a violation of the accord" that the US struck a year ago with the organisation.

The agreement, signed under the Donald Trump administration, suggested a full and gradual withdrawal of American forces from the country by a deadline of 1 May if the Taliban refrain from attacking them – a provision the militant group has largely abided by. Under the deal, the Taliban also vowed to prevent Al Qaeda* from getting a foothold on its territory and to start peace talks with Kabul. The latter have already started, but have as yet to yield any significant results.

Biden did not clarify the exact reasons why the US might not be able to complete the troops' withdrawal before the deadline. At the same time, the Democrat claimed he does not expect the American troops to be in Afghanistan in 2022.

2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the War in Afghanistan, which was started by the US in the wake of the 11 September terrorist attacks. The declared goal was to overthrow the Taliban's control of the country and drive the Al Qaeda terrorist group - which was being harboured by the Taliban - from the territory. Despite two decades of fighting, Washington, in cooperation with NATO allies, has failed to drive the Taliban completely out of Afghanistan or train Kabul security forces to withstand the Taliban's attacks without external help.

Beyond Parody: Kamala Harris and Epstein Pal Bill Clinton Host Event on ‘Empowering Women’

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Kamala Harris on Friday joined former President Bill Clinton to host an event touting “Girls and Women’s Empowerment” hosted by the Clinton Foundation.

Bill Clinton has been accused of rape and sexual assault by many different women over the years.

Clinton was also close pals with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and took more than two dozen trips to Epstein’s island on his infamous private jet “Lolita Express.”

Photos of Clinton getting massages by a young woman named Chantae Davies, who was later identified as one of Epstein’s “sex slaves” surfaced.

Only deranged leftists believe Bill Clinton is in a position to talk about empowering girls and women.

Virtually no one tuned in to watch this circus.

They’re Coming for Your Guns: White House Confirms Biden Will Sign Gun Control Executive Orders

Americans bought over 39 million registered guns last year during the Fauci lockdowns and BLM-antifa summer riots.

U.S. gun sales surged 60% to 4,137,480 in January of this year, the largest single-month total since figures started to be recorded in 1998, as more Americans worried about their personal safety with a Biden administration.

Now this…

As expected, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Friday that Biden will sign gun control executive orders into law.

The Daily Caller reported:

White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed Friday that President Joe Biden intends to sign executive orders instituting increased gun control.

“Yes,” Psaki flatly stated in response to a question on the subject during Friday’s press briefing. “I can’t give you an exact time frame in part, because they have to go through a review process, which is something that we do from here.”

“I will note that when we, when the president was the vice president in the Obama-Biden administration, he helped put in place twenty-three executive actions to combat gun violence,” she continued. “It’s one of the levers that we can use that any federal government, any president, can use to help address the prevalence of gun violence and address community safety around the country.”

Eventually, only the criminals and the government will have guns.
