Rep. Matt Gaetz's father Don sold his hospice company for $406million and used the money to fund his political career - before being 'extorted' over sex trafficking investigation and Iran hostage rescue

Rep. Matt Gaetz's father made millions by selling his hospice company in 2004 and used the money to launch his own political career, years before they were 'extorted' over allegations the younger Gaetz slept with an underage girl.

The bizarre and complex chain of events was set off on Tuesday when The New York Times reported that Gaetz, 38, was under investigation for allegedly sleeping with a 17-year-old girl two years ago and trafficking her across state lines.

He hit back angrily saying it was not true and that his family was being extorted for $25million. His father Don, a former Florida Senator from 2006 until 2016, is backing him up and says he even wore a wire to a meeting with one of the extortionists to try to help expose the plot.

On Thursday, Gaetz claimed in documents he handed to The Washington Examiner that the plot had another element - the people involved were claiming to extort him to free American hostage Robert Levinson, who was captured in Iran in 2002 while working for the CIA.

He said the extortionists told his family they needed $25milliont to free Levinson - whose family say is dead - and that in exchange, the team that rescued Levinson would ask President Joe Biden to pardon Gaetz from any sex trafficking charges.

The amount the extortionists apparently asked for is the same amount that Don Gaetz's net worth was reported as when he launched his first Senatorial campaign in 2006.

He and his partners had sold Vitas, a hospice company, two years earlier for $406million. It's unclear how many partners there were, but when Don was campaigning, his net worth was well reported.

The family comes from Niceville, Florida, a conservative, Christian town on the panhandle.

Don's own father, Jerry, was the mayor of a small town in North Dakota. Don was referred to as 'baby Gaetz' early on in his career.

He and his partners founded Vitas in the 1970s and turned it into the largest hospice care provider in the country, after lobbying Congress to have their care paid for under Medicaid and Medicare.

They sold the company in 2004 but were later sued for Medicaid fraud. The lawsuit did not name Don specifically, and he denied wrongdoing.

Don was well-liked in the Senate because he was considered 'old fashioned' and 'decent'. His views, while Republican, are less extreme than his son's.

'Don Gaetz was very much more of an old-school Republican. He would tell you that Matt is much more tea party Republican than he is,' Ben Wilcox told Mother Jones for a profile on the pair in 2019.

Matt launched his political career in Florida in 2010.

He has since made a name for himself supporting Trump, at times mimicking his combustive and combative style.

He is engaged to Ginger Luckey, who he met at a Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago in March 2020 and proposed to her there in December.

She has not commented on the current controversy.

He has spoken in the past about how his mother became partially paralyzed due to complications she suffered while pregnant with his sister, and how her devotion to the pregnancy and baby has enforced his anti-abortion views.

Record number of unaccompanied children crossed the border in March

The number of unaccompanied children crossing the border in March reached more than 18,500, according to preliminary Customs and Border Protection data obtained by NBC News, smashing the previous record as the Biden administration scrambles to set up new shelters to accommodate them.

The March total is at least 60 percent higher than the previous record of 11,494 in May 2019. The data is still preliminary and may change slightly before its official release.

The figures go back to 2010 when the border patrol began keeping track of how many migrants arrived as unaccompanied minors.

The dramatic increase in unaccompanied children follows the Biden administration’s policy of expelling all migrants except minors who come alone. It has resulted in hundreds of children being held in overcrowded border patrol stations far past the 72-hour legal limit.

Overall encounters with migrants of all ages were at a 20-year high in March, as over 170,000 attempted to cross, according to the preliminary data. Most adults, however, were turned back under Title 42, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authority both the Trump and the Biden administrations have used to block migration during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The previous high was set in March 2001 when 172,849 migrants were apprehended by the Border Patrol.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently said the Border Patrol was on track to see a 20-year high in border crossings.

However, President Joe Biden has been reluctant to say the traffic of migrants at the border is unusual.

“The truth of the matter is: Nothing has changed,” Biden said in a press conference last week. “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 happens every year.”

The number of families crossing the border in March was more than 52,000, still below the record of 84,526 set in May 2019 under the Trump administration. While many families are sent back under Title 42, an increasing number, especially in the Rio Grande Valley, are allowed to stay in the United States while they await a court decision on their immigration case due to Mexico’s limited capacity to take them back.

Boeing urges U.S. to separate China trade and human rights

Boeing Co urged the United States on Wednesday to keep human rights and other disputes separate from trade relations with Beijing, and warned European rival Airbus would gain if the U.S. planemaker were locked out of China.Chief Executive Dave Calhoun told an online business forum he believed a major aircraft subsidy dispute with Europe could be resolved after 16 years of wrangling at the World Trade Organization, but contrasted this with the outlook on China.

“I think politically (China) is more difficult for this administration and it was for the last administration. But we still have to trade with our largest partner in the world: China,” he told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Aviation Summit.

Noting multiple disputes, he added: “I am hoping we can sort of separate intellectual property, human rights and other things from trade and continue to encourage a free trade environment between these two economic juggernauts. … We cannot afford to be locked out of that market. Our competitor will jump right in.”

Boeing and Airbus each sell about a quarter of their jetliners to China, which has edged past the United States as the world’s largest domestic travel market.

China typically makes block purchases for imported jets, often coinciding with U.S. or European diplomatic visits.

Boeing began to face questions over its share of the Chinese market as the United States and China waged an 18-month trade war under then-U.S. President Donald Trump, though China’s jet purchases have slowed across the board in recent years.

Beijing increasingly also faces tensions with the West over its treatment of ethnic and religious minorities in Xinjiang, and has warned foreign companies not to step into politics.

China rejects U.S. charges it has committed genocide against Uighur and other Muslims in the remote western region, where activists say more than 1 million people are held in internment camps.The White House and U.S. Trade Representative did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Calhoun’s remarks.

Vermont Gov. Scott: Those Who Identify as ‘Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color’ Eligible to Sign Up for Vaccine

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) announced on Thursday those who identify as black, indigenous, or a “person of color” can now sign up to receive the coronavirus vaccine. Eligibility for all adults is not expected to open up until later this month.

“If you or anyone in your household identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color (BIPOC), including anyone with Abenaki or other First Nations heritage, all household members who are 16 years or older can sign up to get a vaccine!” the governor announced, providing a link to the state’s website:

Only certain categories of people are now eligible to sign up to receive the coronavirus vaccine in the Green Mountain State. That includes those 50 and older, people 16 and older who have “high risk” health conditions, parents or primary caregivers of those with “high risk” health conditions, school staff, and child care workers, public safety workers, health care personnel, nursing home residents, “English language learners and people in immigrant/refugee communities,” and now “Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC),” per the state.

It remains unclear how the state is implementing the rule, as anyone could, technically, “identify” as whatever race they choose.

His announcement drew significant backlash on social media.

“I have a dream that our children will one day live in a nation where they will receive medical treatment according to the color of their skin, providing the governor has already had his,” one user said.

Some Twitter users quoted the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Others commented directly on the legality of the Governor’s statement:

The state is expected to open eligibility to the remainder of the population by April 19.

“Our data also shows us that we have much farther to go with progress through our vaccination efforts,” Vermont’s state health commissioner Mark Levine said this week.

“We get closer to the finish line every day,” he added. “It’s now less than three weeks until all Vermonters are eligible to sign up for their dose of vaccine.”

According to the state’s coronavirus dashboard, 213,656 people in Vermont have received at least one dose of the vaccine, as of April 2.

‘Trial Run’ of Domestic Coronavirus Passports in Britain Expected Within Weeks: Report

Prime Minister Boris Johnson will reportedly introduce a trial run for domestic coronavirus passports, testing the scheme at a few high profile events over the coming weeks.

Despite growing backlash from within his own party against the idea of coronavirus passports, Johnson’s government is said to be preparing an announcement of a trial run of the scheme at a few high profile football matches, the World Snooker Championship, and possibly the Brit Awards — the British equivalent to the Grammys.

Those wishing to attend the events will be required to take a COVID test before entering as well as upon leaving the event, in order to track the potential spread of the Chinese virus.

Government sources also told The Telegraph that some of the pilots will also feature a test of a new National Health Service COVID status certification app, which will contain information on an individual’s vaccination status, recent coronavirus tests, and antibody levels.

he trial runs will take place in April and May, with the hopes of fully opening up large events by sometime in June.

Signalling that the passport scheme could be more widely adopted throughout the country in places such as pubs, the Prime Minister said on Thursday that domestic coronavirus passports could help “give maximum confidence to business and to customers here in the UK”.

There has been a growing rebellion amongst MPs along bipartisan lines against the idea, with members of the Conservative Party and even the Labour opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer expressing incredulity over the use of health passes domestically.

The chairman of the influential 1922 Committee of Tory backbench MPs, Sir Graham Brady, said: “With high levels of vaccination protecting the vulnerable and making transmission less likely, we should aim to return to normal life, not to put permanent restrictions in place.”

Surprisingly, many within the leftist Labour Party have come out against the idea, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. The move is significant as until now the left-wing parties in Britain have backed most of the draconian coronavirus lockdown measures imposed by the Conservative Party government.

Sir Keir Starmer said that the idea of coronavirus passports goes against the “British instinct”, adding: “My instinct is that, as the vaccine is rolled out, as the number of hospital admissions and deaths go down, there will be a British sense that we don’t actually want to go down this road.”

NBC anchor declares 'fairness is overrated' during acceptance speech for journalism award

We can't just let 'anyone to come say whatever they want'

NBC News anchor Lester Holt received the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award from Washington State University on Tuesday. Now, as noted by the Washington Examiner, his virtual acceptance speech is drawing fire for his admission of what conservatives have always believed the mainstream media believed: "fairness is overrated."

Holt was sure to warn listeners not to jump too quickly on what he realized was a headline-making comment the moment it left his lips and tried to assure the public that he was talking about the disseminating of lies and fake news, but it was clear to his observers and critics that he was going after conservatives and any Trump supporters who may have issues with the liberal press.

What did he say?

After receiving the award, which WSU says is given to those who will be remembered "as the pillars of the communication industry," Big Country News reported, Holt launched into his lecture about the treatment of the media and who deserves to have a platform.

"The unprecedented attacks on the press in this period I'm sure will fill plenty of books and be studied in classrooms," he said before offering his take on what journalists should learn from this moment in U.S. history.

"Number one is — I think it's become clearer that fairness if overrated," he said before warning, "Woah, before you run off and tweet that headline, let me explain a bit."

Then, seemingly unknowingly, he uttered a lament that fit right into the stereotype conservative media critics have for the mainstream media. Holt blasted "the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit," saying such a mindset "does not reflect the world we find ourselves in."

Pfizer a “habitual offender” that “persistently” engages in illegal activity, study warns

Back in 2010, the journal Europe PMC published a study outlining the extensive criminal history of Pfizer, one of the most corrupt pharmaceutical companies in the world.

The relevancy of this study today cannot be overstated, especially as millions of Pfizer-BioNTech’s experimental Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccines are being plunged into people’s arms daily. Can this multi-billion-dollar corporate behemoth really be entrusted with carrying the load of public health during a plandemic?

In a word, no. Pfizer is a “habitual offender” that “persistently engag[es] in illegal and corrupt marketing practices, bribing physicians and suppressing adverse trial results.”

“Since 2002 the company and its subsidiaries have been assessed $3 billion in criminal convictions, civil penalties and jury awards,” study author Robert G. Evans outlines.

“The $2.3 billion settlement in September 2009 … set a new record for both criminal fines and total penalties.”

Evans’ paper goes on to expose multiple Pfizer products that were illegally marketed for “off-label” use, which resulted in patients being injured or killed. Pfizer illegally paid kickbacks to physicians to prescribe these drugs for unapproved uses. Such drugs include:

• Bextra (valdecoxib), a pain medication that was later pulled from the market

• Geodon (ziprasidone HCl), an atypical antipsychotic

• Zyvox (linezolid), an antibiotic

• Lyrica (pregabalin), a seizure medication

• Viagra (sildenafil), an erectile dysfunction drug

• Lipitor (atorvastatin), a cholesterol drug

Pfizer subsidiaries have committed countless crimes over the years

These are just the drugs for which Pfizer was caught committing crimes, mind you. There were also many more cases prior in which Pfizer pleaded guilty for breaking the law.

In 2007, Pfizer subsidiary Pharmacia & Upjohn (P&U) paid $34 million and pleaded guilty to paying kickbacks for formulary placement of its drugs. P&U entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement for off-label distribution of Genotropin, the company’s brand name for the human growth hormone (HGH) somatropin.

Three years earlier in 2004, Pfizer subsidiary Warner-Lambert pleaded guilty and paid more than $430 million to resolve criminal charges and civil liability for fraudulently marketing Neurontin (gabapentin). Originally developed for epilepsy, Neurontin was promoted by Warner-Lambert for the off-label treatment of neurological pain, including that associated with migraines.

Two years prior to that, Warner-Lambert and another Pfizer subsidiary known as Parke-Davis paid out $49 million to resolve civil claims alleging that the two companies failed to report best prices for their Lipitor drug as required under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Statute.

Nearly a decade later, Pfizer was once again ordered to pay out a large sum of cash, this time for $142 million, to resolve claims of again illegally marketing gabapentin for off-label use.

“Data revealed in a string of U.S. lawsuits indicates the drug was promoted by the drug company as a treatment for pain, migraines and bipolar disorder – even though it wasn’t effective in treating these conditions and was actually toxic in certain cases, according to the Therapeutics Initiative, an independent drug research group at the University of British Columbia,” reports indicate.

“The trials forced the company to release all of its studies on the drug, including the ones it kept hidden.”

While these payout sums might sound like a lot of money, they are mere drops in the bucket compared to what Pfizer and its subsidiaries rake in for profit. In Canada alone, Neurontin sales top $300 million per year which, calculated over the course of several decades since the drug was first approved, amounts to many billions of dollars.

With all that said, it is perplexing that members of the public trust Pfizer’s rushed, liability-free vaccine for the Chinese virus enough to let roadside medical personnel inject them with it while hoping for the best.

Scandal-Plagued Oxfam Suspends Two Staff Amidst Misconduct Accusations in Congo

British international charity Oxfam has confirmed it has suspended two staff amidst an independent investigation into intimidation, sexual misconduct, and abuse of power in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The non-governmental organisation had launched an investigation in November 2020 into claims that senior managers were engaged in fraud, nepotism, and bullying. However, whistleblowers have said they have been voicing their concerns about alleged misconduct by Oxfam staff on mission in the central African country since 2015.

The abuse allegations were detailed in a February letter signed by 22 former and current Oxfam staff and sent to the charity’s head office in Oxford, England. The letter, seen by The Times and reported on Friday, accused 11 people of misconduct. All 11 were allegedly still employed until the recent suspensions, according to the newspaper.

The claims detail that managers engaged in a “culture of bullying” as well as having sexually harassed female employees. Some were also allegedly having sexual relationships with junior members of staff.

Further claims involve the lack of confidentiality of the complaints system, meaning that managers had access to reports by whistleblowers, resulting in threats and intimidation if staff pursued complaints.

Whistleblowers claimed that they had been subject to “threats to their lives and their families’ lives”, including allegations of poisonings or attempted poisonings, according to The Times.

Corruption allegations were also made related to the awarding of contracts for consultants, accommodation, and travel.

Oxfam’s chief executive Danny Sriskandarajah received the letter two days before the UK’s Charity Commission had deemed that the Oxford-based NGO had deemed that “people served or employed by the charity are now better protected against abuse, exploitation, and other forms of harm” since the Haiti scandal was exposed three years ago — a ruling which “came as a surprise” to one source.

A spokesman for the charity confirmed that two staff were suspended, telling the newspaper: “We can confirm we have suspended two members of Oxfam staff in the DRC as part of an ongoing external investigation, which we set up last November, into allegations of abuses of power, including bullying and sexual misconduct.

“We are acutely aware of our duty to survivors, including in supporting them to speak out safely. We are working hard to conclude the investigation fairly, safely and effectively.”

The allegations come only one month after the British government approved Oxfam to apply for public funds since the 2018 Haiti scandal. In the 2017-2018 financial year, the government had given £31.7 million in taxpayers’ cash to the international charity.

In 2018, it was revealed that Oxfam aid workers had engaged in the sexual exploitation of vulnerable people in Haiti between 2010 and 2011 after the country had been devastated by an earthquake. The same year it faced fresh accusations of rape and sexual assault by its aid workers in South Sudan.

US plans lifting Trump's sanctions on ICC officials

The administration of US President Joe Biden plans to revoke the sanctions imposed by his predecessor, President Donald Trump, on the International Criminal Court (ICC) top officials as early as this week, the Foreign Policy magazine reported.

"Much as we disagree with the ICC's actions relating to the Afghanistan and Palestinian situations, the administration is thoroughly reviewing sanctions pursuant to Executive Order 13928 as we determine our next steps," the report quoted an unnamed State Department spokesperson as saying.

Last January, Israel expressed concern that the Biden administration might reconsider the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration on the ICC Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, and a top deputy over plans to investigate war crimes committed by US personnel in Afghanistan as well as crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinians.

In June 2020, Trump issued an executive order authorizing the imposition of economic sanctions against any ICC officials participating in the investigation of "allied personnel without that ally's consent."

Sweden Axes Bill Gates-funded Harvard Experiment Aiming To Dim the Sun To Fight Climate Change Amid Outcry From Activists

Sweden’s space agency has called off a geoengineering experiment to determine whether blotting out the sun with aerosols could reverse global warming. Funded by Bill Gates, the project stoked fierce opposition from eco groups.

Proposed by researchers at Harvard University, the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx, ultimately planned to release a cloud of calcium carbonate – more commonly known as chalk dust – into the atmosphere from a high-altitude balloon to study its effects on sunlight reaching Earth. The project proved too controversial, however, and on Wednesday the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) said that a test flight set for June would not move forward.

“The scientific community is divided regarding geoengineering, including any related technology tests such as the planned technical balloon test flight from Esrange this summer,” the SSC said in a statement on Wednesday.

SSC has had dialogues this spring with both leading experts on geoengineering and with other stakeholders, as well as with the SCoPEx Advisory Board. As a result of these dialogues and in agreement with Harvard, SSC has decided not to conduct the technical test flight planned for this summer.

Asked at a 2010 TED talk about what “emergency measures” mankind could implement to fight climate change should all else fail, Gates suggested solar geoengineering could be an “insurance policy.”

“There is a line of research on what’s called geoengineering, which are various techniques that would delay the heating to buy us 20 or 30 years to get our act together. Now that’s just an insurance policy, you hope that you don’t need to do that,” he said, adding that the idea might be “kept in the back pocket.”

Keith, a professor of applied physics at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, told Reuters the SSC’s decision to scrap the experiment was “a setback,” but noted that the project could move to the US if the troubles continue in Europe. Until then, the researchers say they will continue to lobby for SCoPEx in Sweden, hoping to generate public interest and support.

The experiment could find traction in the States, as a report published last week by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine called on the government to devote between $100 million and $200 million to solar geoengineering projects, including technology to dim out the Sun, over the next five years.

Saudi FM says ties with Israel would bring ‘tremendous benefit’ to Middle East

But Prince Faisal bin Farhan reiterates that normalization is ‘very much dependent on progress’ in Israeli-Palestinian peace process

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Normalization with Israel would bring “tremendous benefit” to the region, the Saudi foreign minister has said, but such an accord with the kingdom would depend on progress in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Under the Abraham Accords brokered by former US president Donald Trump last year, four Arab countries — the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan — agreed to normalize ties with the Jewish state.

But Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said Thursday that any deal with Saudi Arabia was “very much dependent on progress with the peace process.”

He noted that normalization had been on the table since the introduction of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative on the condition of reaching resolution with the Palestinians.

“I think normalizing Israel’s status within the region would bring tremendous benefit to the region as a whole,” he said during an interview with CNN.

“It would be extremely helpful both economically but also socially and from a security perspective.”

But such a process “can only be successful if we address the issue of the Palestinians and if we are able to deliver a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders that gives the Palestinians dignity and gives them their rights.”

Gulf powerhouse Saudi Arabia has repeatedly affirmed its decades-old policy of not establishing formal ties with Israel until a deal is reached to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians.

But mutual concern over Iran has gradually brought Israel and Gulf countries closer, and Riyadh has quietly been building relations with the Jewish state for several years.

Reports in November that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held secret talks in Saudi Arabia with the crown prince fueled speculation that a normalization accord with the Gulf’s top power could be in the making.

Riyadh, however, denied the meeting had taken place.

Fort Sill Army Trainers Suspended Amid Allegations of Trainee's Sexual Assault

Several training cadre members at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, were suspended this week following allegations they sexually assaulted a trainee.

Maj. Gen. Ken Kamper, commanding general of the Fires Center of Excellence and Fort Sill, told reporters at a press conference Thursday that an investigation was immediately launched after the accusations were made, and the cadre members were swiftly suspended.

The incident was initially reported by the Lawton Constitution, an Oklahoma newspaper.

"A soldier assigned to Fort Sill reported she was a victim of sexual assault by Fort Sill cadre members," Kamper said. "This information was immediately reported to law enforcement and [Army Criminal Investigation Command]. They conducted their initial interviews that very day and continued every day since."

Kamper declined to specify how many cadre members had been suspended or when the alleged sexual assault took place. The alleged victim, who was not hospitalized, filed a report Saturday.

"This soldier that came forward is absolutely safe," he added. "She had a special victim's counsel and access to all services. We're proud of the courage she displayed coming forward with these allegations. We will stay connected with this soldier and her family."

It is unclear whether this was an isolated incident or if there are more potential victims. Details on the alleged victim and those who were suspended, including names and ranks, are being withheld during the investigation.

"We want to know more; we will investigate anything else that emerges. We have the resources and the full support of Army senior leaders," Kamper said.

A press conference immediately following allegations of a sexual crime is rare. But the military is facing a reckoning with widespread sexual assault and harassment in the ranks and how transparent and effective the force has been with investigations.

After Spc. Vanessa Guillen's bludgeoning murder last year at Fort Hood, Texas, an Army investigation found both male and female soldiers described a culture of sexual harassment and bullying that was pervasive and ignored by leadership.

Guillen's death became a flash point for the military's poor handling of sexual crime investigations and leadership ignoring the concerns and allegations of women in the ranks. At least 14 Army officials were fired or suspended in the aftermath. Since then, Congress has held multiple hearings on the troubling issues at Fort Hood and sexual assault in the military as a whole.

US Affirms ‘Unwavering Support’ for Ukraine Amid Russia Tensions

Ukraine accused Russia of massing troops near its border, the Kremlin said it is normal troop movement and is not a threat

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart on Thursday and expressed Washington’s “unwavering” support for Kyiv amid tensions with Russia.

According to a readout of the call, Austin “reaffirmed unwavering US support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and Euro-Atlantic aspirations.” He also condemned what he called “Russian aggression.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken also spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart this week and made similar comments.

Ukraine has accused Moscow of stoking tensions by massing troops near Russia’s border with Ukraine. But Russia denies the troop movements are meant to be threatening. “The Russian Federation transfers the Armed Forces on its soil as it wants to,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, according to Russia’s TASS News Agency. “This should not concern anyone and this is not posing any threat to anyone.”

Moscow also warned Kyiv against restarting fighting in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, where a ceasefire agreed to last year has held relatively well, although there have been recent violations. In one incident, four Ukrainian soldiers died, which Ukraine is blaming on Russia, although Moscow denies having troops in Donbas.

The fighting in Donbas was sparked by the 2014 US-backed coup in Kyiv. Separatists in Donbas rejected the post-coup government. Since then, the US has provided Ukraine with more than $2 billion in military aid. The Pentagon recently announced a new $125 million package for Ukraine that includes armed patrol boats.

Peskov also mentioned the increased NATO activity near Russia. “There is increased activity on the perimeter of Russia’s borders by NATO, other alliances, individual countries — it all obliges us to be vigilant,” he said. Ukraine is planning to build new military bases on the Black Sea with the help of NATO.

US must rejoin Iran deal 'as quickly as possible' - US lawmakers

“Iran had 102 kilograms of enriched uranium when Trump took office; they have 2.5 tons of enriched uranium now.”

US Senator Chris Murphy and Rep. Ro Khanna, both Democrats, addressed the stalemate between the US and Iran regarding the return to the 2015 nuclear agreement and urged the administration “to be open and willing to take early steps back into the deal.”

Speaking on Wednesday on a webinar hosted by the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), Murphy said that he is writing a letter with Senator Tim Kaine that would “make clear that there is a sizable constituency in the United States Senate for this “compliance for compliance” approach.”

Murphy said that Trump listened to the advice of those who opposed the JCPOA. “He put to the Iranians a list of 12 demands that included their nuclear program, their [ballistic] missile program; support for Hamas,” said Murphy.

“And he waited and waited and waited. Not only did Iran not come to the table on any of the 12 issues listed by the Trump administration, but they restarted their nuclear research program.”

Under the JCPOA, he said, the Iranians went from a breakout time to producing a nuclear weapon of over 12 months to three to four months. They also did not halt efforts to supporting destabilizing the region.

“Maximum pressure was a miserable 100% failure,” Murphy said. “And so as we get ready to reenter the JCPOA, it’s important to remind the opponents of the agreements that their arguments have been tested. Their argument has failed. Now is the work […] to get back into the agreement as quickly as possible.

“The United States was the first to leave, and so the United States shouldn’t be wary of taking the first step back into the agreement. There is no weakness in the United States admitting that, but for our non-compliance, the JCPOA would still likely be alive and well today. And so both in private and in public, I have counseled the administration to adopt a compliance for compliance approach, to be open and willing to take early steps back into the deal.”

Were the US to do so, Murphy said, and the Iranians not reciprocate, “we would be in a much better position then to take action in a multilateral way with the P5+1. If we were to be able to show the P5+1 that we were willing to get back into the deal, but it was only the Iranian hostility to it that stopped the JCPOA from restarting, we would be on much better multilateral footing. We want to make it clear that the clock is ticking; we don’t have the luxury of time.”

Biden’s Infrastructure Plan Could Boost Pelosi’s Investment Portfolio

President Joe Biden's $2 trillion infrastructure plan includes a provision to boost electric vehicle use—which House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) stands to personally benefit from.

Pelosi's husband Paul purchased between $500,000 and $1 million in Tesla investments in December. Biden's infrastructure plan will lead to a windfall for Tesla and its shareholders. On Wednesday, Biden unveiled his sweeping plan, which sets aside $174 billion for electric vehicle subsidies, charging stations, and other provisions designed to push more Americans into electric cars over a decade.

Democrats are anticipating a contentious and lengthy battle over the infrastructure package. With a narrow Democratic majority and no support from Republicans, Pelosi will need to marshal every vote she can to get the bill passed. It will fall on the Speaker to unify progressives who worry the bill is inadequate with moderate Democrats who worry the bill's tax hikes could imperil their reelection chances.

Pelosi is one of the richest members of Congress, with a net worth valued around $115 million. Congressional spouses can legally invest in companies their spouses help regulate, as long as they don’t act on private information. Her husband's Tesla investments include 25 call options at a strike price of $500 until March 2022. Call options are contracts that give the investor the right to buy shares of a company at a certain price—in this case $500—until the contract expires.

Tesla is now positioned to see a sizable boost under Biden's proposed infrastructure plan. Barron's says Tesla could be one of the big winners from Biden's infrastructure plan. Wall Street expects Tesla deliveries to rise 60 percent year over year in 2021, according to the publication.

Republicans say the timing of Paul Pelosi's investments is suspect. "There's a reason Nancy Pelosi is one of the most disliked politicians in America—she's corrupt," said Torunn Sinclair, national press secretary for the National Republican Congressional Committee. "This is yet another example of Nancy Pelosi using her power to tax the middle class and personally profit from it."

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said the GOP will oppose Biden's infrastructure plan. "I'm going to fight [the Democrats] every step of the way, because I think this is the wrong prescription for America," McConnell said. If Democrats do not gain the support of 10 Republican senators, they will have to use budget reconciliation to pass the bill on their own.

The left wing of the Democratic Party doesn't think Biden's plan goes far enough. Progressive lawmakers and environmental activists pushed Biden to include a $10 trillion climate package within the plan.

Pelosi's office did not respond to a request for comment.

Judicial Watch Obtains Additional Records of FDA Purchases of Fetal Tissue for “Humanized Mice” Project; Agency Wanted “Fresh, Shipped on Wet Ice” Fetal Organs

Judicial Watch announced that it received an additional 575 pages of records from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showing the agency spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to buy human fetal tissue from California-based Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR). The tissue was used in creating “humanized mice” to test “biologic drug products.”

ABR, a nonprofit, human fetal tissue “procurement” firm, has been the subject of criminal referrals from both U.S. House and Senate committees investigating human fetal tissue trafficking and whether Planned Parenthood or any other entity was illegally profiting from transfers of organs harvested from aborted human fetuses. Federal law regulates the purchase and acceptance of human fetal tissue for research purposes. It is unlawful to “acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce.”

The records include the following communications between ABR procurement manager Perrin Larton and FDA research veterinary medical official Dr. Kristina Howard between January 2011 and April 2018:

Howard’s September 27, 2012 application sent to Larton indicating that ABR would be paid $12,000 up front for “tissue purchases.” The contract provided for the provision of human fetal tissue with a gestational age of 16 to 24 weeks, including “One set of tissue (thymus/liver) approx. twice monthly.” It was to be shipped “Fresh; shipped on wet ice.”

Howard’s May 10, 2012, email to Larton bearing the subject line “Tissue Delivery” and saying, “Just wanted to follow up with you regarding the tissue deliveries. We have three batches of mice that still need to be humanized, so please keep us on the schedule every week until we manage to receive three sets of tissue.”

Howard’s October 17, 2012 email to Larton about the gender of an aborted fetus from which an organ was harvested: “I wanted to check with your records on the sex of the tissue we received today. It was Liver #4505.” Larton responded, “The techs were not able to identify the gender. We only check external genitalia and if it’s not there … due to the nature of the termination procedure… we have no way of telling.” Howard replied, “Thank you for explaining that to me. I have some leftover cells to sex it.”

Biden Tells Americans to Cower in Fear and Wear Masks So We Can “Have a More Normal July 4th”

Joe Biden on Friday once again told Americans to cower in fear and wear masks in order to be able to have barbecues and enjoy the 4th of July.

“If the American people continue to do their part — mask up, practice social distancing, we can have a more normal July 4th.”

This isn’t the first time Joe Biden has told Americans how we can spend the 4th of July.

Last month Biden told Americans if we “do our part” we can have barbecues and spend time with family and friends on July 4th.

“If we do our part… by July 4, there’s a good chance you, your families, and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day… Small groups will be able to get together,” said Biden.

But then Biden threatened to take it all away if “we don’t stay vigilant.”

“If we don’t stay vigilant and the conditions change, then we may have to reinstate restrictions to get back on track,” Biden said.

Pfizer already targeting American pre-teen and young teenage girls ages 12 to 15 for population reduction and sterilization experiment known as mRNA

Bill Gates’ number one goal is to reduce the population of planet Earth by a few billion people, and he said he could accomplish this if he does a really good job with vaccines and healthcare, meaning dirty vaccines and Planned Parenthood abortion factories in every metropolitan city (mainly for Black baby genocide). And just how do you think vaccines can reduce the population of humans, when they’re supposed to protect people from disease?

Here’s how: Pfizer is already running experimental trials with their Covid-19 vaccine on children, claiming 100 percent efficacy, except most children don’t catch Covid in the first place, and nary a child dies from it, so why all the fuss and trial research? Plus, who’s verifying that these crooked, corrupt pharma companies that manufacture the vaccines even have valid tests and reported data? Nobody, that’s who.

Never forget the Merck fraud regarding efficacy of mumps vaccines when they spiked testing with animal antibodies to obtain “95%” accuracy lie

Yes, Big Pharma lies, all the time, about their vaccines’ “safety” and “efficacy.” These hucksters and snake oil salesmen run their own fake tests and fake research and then fake the results to obtain whatever data the CDC requires for high-end profits made off naïve, brainwashed, and now terrified, Americans. Take Merck for example. Former employees blew the whistle on a massive scheme they concocted to mislead and defraud Government health authorities.

Merck vaccine scientists used animal antibodies to spike blood samples, and then rip off governments worldwide by claiming a 95 percent efficacy rate for the mumps component of the MMR vaccine. In other words, Merck’s corrupt scientists spiked the blood test with animal antibodies to artificially inflate the appearance of immune system antibodies.

Their adulterated research got exposed when two Merck scientists filed a False Claims Act complaint a decade ago. The vaccine, as it turned out, actually promoted mumps and measles outbreaks. All of this fraud, the scientists said, has been going on since the 1990s. Go figure.

Remembering the tetanus vaccines pushed on millions of teenage girls in Kenya that contained sterilization chemicals and causes miscarriages

Now, Pfizer wants to vaccinate every young American female who is about to enter or just entered their child-bearing years, with a vaccine that’s already killed over 1750 Americans, and has no proof whatsoever of safety or efficacy.

CNN's Chris Cuomo Claims White People Take 'Comfort' in Racism

On Thursday evening, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made the bizarre claim that white Americans take “comfort” in being racist, amongst other absurd claims.

The comments came during the transition between Cuomo’s show and CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, while Cuomo and Lemon were discussing testimony during the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

“There’s an amazing opportunity for the majority, today, in watching the trial of George Floyd’s murder,” Cuomo said. “And very often white people come to a conclusion that, you know what, I don’t really understand this, I don’t live it, I don’t feel it. But often it ends there because it’s hard to get that different perspective.”

Of course Lemon agreed, but Cuomo took his desperate virtue-signaling a step further by claiming to have even less faith in white people than he did. Cuomo told Lemon, “I think that you’re putting more faith in [white] people’s ability to do this than I have right now. See the humanity in George Floyd, well that requires humanity in the seer.”

So brave of you, Chris Cuomo. So brave.

Oh, but he wasn’t done.

“You know, we often say the minority can’t change racism or systemic injustice, the majority has to. But does it want to?” Cuomo continued. “Isn’t there a convenience, isn’t there a comfort in being able to excuse anything that an officer does by saying, you’re anti-police, you choose to see that.”

White people bad! Don’t you get it. And, of course, Chris Cuomo, who is white and had a privileged upbringing, is going to lecture the public about how racist they are, while exempting himself from the broad brush he painted white Americans with.

“And you don’t choose to see what is in such abundance in this trial right now, which is just a pain of people who feel that ‘there but for the grace [of God go I].’ And my question is I really hope that people are watching what’s happening right now not through the lens of politics but through the lens of people. And do you see that pain, don’t you want to stop that pain, don’t you want less of that pain. I’ll listen to what you have to say.”

In other words, if you don’t buy into the claim that Derek Chauvin is guilty by default, that any time a minority is killed by a police officer that there was a racial motive, you are part of the problem. You take “comfort” in racism and making excuses for police, who have just as much a right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence as all Americans.

Border Patrol Reports Of Almost 1,000 Daily 'Got Aways' Is The Highest In Years

The number of immigrants crossing the border that officials are forced to give up on pursuing has spiked recently, with previous spike numbers becoming the daily norm.

Attrition-style tactics from smugglers and short-sighted enforcement tactics have exacerbated numbers, with experts suggesting 2021 could be a two-decade high, The Washington Post reports.

Customs and Border Patrol agents logged almost 1000 daily “got aways” recently, a number that back in February constituted an unusual day according to Border Patrol Deputy Chief Raul Ortiz.

Technological developments might be contributing to that number: Heavy investment into surveillance along the border is good at logging every immigrant but bad at identifying individuals, which can lead to immigrants being counted twice.

Border patrol has also been making liberal use of Title 42 since the start of the pandemic, a public health measure that allows for immediate deportation. That means, however, that individuals are free to try and cross the border as much as they want without being detained on federal charges.

Smugglers have also been using tactics that stretch the limited resources of border agents, sending large numbers of small groups through isolated terrain. Occasionally they will gather a large group of migrants to occupy law enforcement while more important products like drugs or personnel slip through.

“There are maybe 20 groups a day that are observed, but there’s nobody to try to go after them,” an agent told The Washington Post. “They just keep walking until they’re out of sight.”

Rodolfo Karisch, former chief of border control in Tucson and Rio Grande Valley sectors, called the spike a “recipe for disaster” for potential migrants.

“Smugglers tell them to walk north a few miles, but it’s a lie, and that’s how people die in the desert,” he said.

Even if they are apprehended, record numbers of arrested immigrants are stretching holding facilities to the brink. Rates of unaccompanied minors have resulted in dismal conditions and wait times far longer than the legal limit of 72 hours.

Kiev Scrambles To Justify The Incoming Storm

The Kiev government is going to great lengths to attempt and justify its incoming attempts at escalating the situation in Eastern Ukraine and towards Crimea.

On April 1st, but not as a joke, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Moscow is trying to put pressure on Kiev by amassing its military forces along the Russian-Ukrainian border.

In a Facebook post, Zelensky noted he would highlight two points in the issue of war and peace. “First of all, it’s about Donbas. Indeed, escalation has been observed since year-start. Twenty dead and 57 wounded in the first months alone. This is the price of war and defending our independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of our Ukraine.”

At the same time, the head of state notes that work continues to ensure that the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine becomes effective.

“Sanctions against [Putin’s political ally in Ukraine] Viktor Medvedchuk, our loud and firm position on Ukraine’s independence and progress towards peace, and unconditional support from our Western partners annoy the enemy who invaded Donbas and occupied Crimea. This is understandable. Also understandable is that we would like to return to the situation where the ceasefire regime operated more efficiently – as it was from July 27, 2020, when over the course of months the number of wounded and killed in action was lower by scores. So we’re working on this,” Zelensky stressed.

He also claimed that muscle-flexing is something that Moscow does frequently, in an attempt to “scare” Ukraine.

“Muscle flexing in the format of military exercises and possible provocations along the border is a regular thing for Russia. Thus, they try to create an atmosphere of threat and at the same time pressure during negotiations on a ceasefire and peace, which is our value,” Zelensky added.

Our Army is not only about strength and power, it is also about wisdom and balance. Our state is about unity. We are always prepared for any provocations,” the president assured.

Zelensky noted that the process of negotiating settlement is complicated.

“But no one expected that it would be easy. It always hurts to lose our people. Each report of combat death brings pain to families, relatives, all Ukrainians, and me as president. That is why we never stop, why we work on agreeing on truce as the fastest tactical step. Our strategy is certainly about peace and the return of our people and territories,” the president said.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian media headlines citing the first Ukrainian President Kravchuk claim that Russia allegedly refused to renew the ceasefire in Donbass. In fact, all the parties stressed the importance of full compliance with the “Measures to strengthen the ceasefire”, agreed on July 22, 2020. However, loud headlines did their job.

Former Navy chief acquitted on rape and other charges

A former U.S. Navy chief who lost his anchors in 2019 after pleading guilty to patronizing prostitutes in Bahrain was found not guilty of stateside rape charges at a court-martial Tuesday, Navy officials have confirmed.

A panel of enlisted members found Logistics Specialist Seaman Recruit Calvin Halfacre not guilty of rape, attempted rape, robbery and assault with intent to commit rape charges, according to Navy spokesman Brock Vergakis.

The charges were connected to an alleged incident involving a woman that took place in Virginia Beach on Feb. 3, 2019, according to Halfacre’s charge sheet.

His civilian attorney, Phil Cave, declined comment on the trial but said Halfacre wants to “get back to taking care of his family and finding work to support himself and his children.”

The charges for which Halfacre was acquitted involved alleged events that transpired around the same time that then-Chief Halfacre was pleading guilty to patronizing prostitutes in Bahrain, one of several sex-crimes cases the Navy prosecuted out of U.S. 5th Fleet in recent years.

The three Thai women Halfacre paid for sex in Bahrain back in 2017 initially accused him of sexual assault, but those charges were later dropped as part of his plea deal.

After pleading guilty as part of that agreement with Navy prosecutors, Halfacre was sentenced in March 2019 to 30 months in the brig, a rank reduction to E-1, a bad-conduct discharge and forfeiture of all pay and allowances while in confinement.

He was released from the Navy brig in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Wednesday, after serving the required portion of his prior sentence, Cave said.

Once he was acquitted on the recent charges, “he had to be released,” Cave said in an email Friday.

Cave is currently appealing Halfacre’s Bahrain-related sentence to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces after a Navy-Marine Corps appeals court upheld the Bahrain sentence last year.

“Because his appeal is still pending, they will send him home on unpaid appellate leave pending the resolution of his appeal,” Cave said.

Over 16,000 Illegal Aliens Referred, 598 Criminals Arrested in March by Texas Troopers

More than 16,000 illegal immigrants have been referred to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and 598 criminals have been arrested by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers as part of “Operation Lone Star” launched to combat the border crisis, Governor Greg Abbott said on Thursday.

The operation was launched at the start of March to combat the smuggling of people and drugs into Texas across the southern border by Mexican cartels and other smugglers. The latest figures work out to be an average of 21 criminal arrests per day, and more than 570 referrals per day to Border Patrol.

State troopers have seized 14 pounds of cocaine, 23 firearms, almost $1 million in currency, and arrested nine gang members involved in the smuggling of the contraband, Abbott told a press conference in Weslaco, Texas, which is near the Texas-Mexico border.

The latest figures come amid a surge in the flow of illegal immigrants to the United States. Abbott on Thursday repeatedly criticized President Joe Biden’s border policies which he says have failed to secure the border and have instead invited illegal immigration and created an “open season for human traffickers, for drug smugglers, for cartels and gangs.”

Because Border Patrol officers are forced to detain large number of illegal immigrants, cartels and human smugglers see “wide swaths of sectors” of the border left open for them to exploit and move people and drugs across, Abbott explained.

“These criminals are preying upon women and children, exposing them to abuse and to terror,” the Republican governor told reporters. “Because the federal government is failing to act to respond to these dangers, Texas is stepping up to secure the border and to keep our community safe.”

One criminal arrest case involved a stash house in the Rio Grande Valley, where Texas DPS troopers and special agents found four illegal immigrants and a gang member, Abbott said. “The gang member was wanted on two counts of rape of a child under the age of 13,” he said.

Providing another example of a criminal arrest, Abbott recounted how Texas DPS troopers arrested a man on March 8 who was wanted for “continuous sexual assault of a child.”

In another case, a man was arrested on March 14 and was found to be smuggling illegal immigrants in his vehicle, in which there was a 14-year-old child who had been sexually assaulted, Abbot said. “The driver also had child pornography on his phone,” the governor noted.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Joins Corporate Chorus Attacking Georgia Voting Law

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently discussed the American voting system in a statement provided to Axios, saying that voting should be “easier than ever,” in the modern age. Cook has joined the chorus of corporate leaders attacking Georgia’s election law.

Axios reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook recently spoke to the publication about the U.S. voting system and has joined others in condemnation of Georgia’s new voting law.

Cook told Axios:

The right to vote is fundamental in a democracy. American history is the story of expanding the right to vote to all citizens, and Black people, in particular, have had to march, struggle and even give their lives for more than a century to defend that right.

Apple believes that, thanks in part to the power of technology, it ought to be easier than ever for every eligible citizen to exercise their right to vote.

We support efforts to ensure that our democracy’s future is more hopeful and inclusive than its past.

Cook joins many other corporations in opposing the recent Georgia voting law that many have claimed contributes to voter suppression.

The bill which passed this week and was written into law strips the secretary of state of his roles as chair of the State Election Board, prevents county election offices from receiving direct grant funding, shortens Georgia’s runoff election period, and requires counties to add more staff, equipment or polling places in large precincts with long voter lines. Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said the law “cures a lot of the problems that we saw in the last election.”

GOP Rep. Barry Fleming, who chairs the House Special Committee on Election Integrity, said the law “is designed to begin to bring back the confidence of our voters back into our election system.”

Why the Rabbis Crucified Christ

Jesus' murder was part of a cosmic struggle between Good and Evil, Life and Death.

The covid scam continues this struggle to stop the enslavement or even destruction of mankind.

The reason for the Crucifixion is very simple. When Christ extended God's Grace to all people, he offended the Jews' sense of Choosiness.

What is vexing humanity? The truth is overlooked because we can't believe anything so important could be so simple.

When Christ extended God's Grace to all people, he offended the Jews' sense of Choosiness. That, apparently, was an unpardonable sin.

Christ said God is in everyone.

The ability to hear God defines us as "human."It enables us to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, beautiful and ugly, sick and healthy.

This Divine Spirit infuses human life, according to all true religions.

Judaism, however, begs to differ.

If we embrace Satan, the earth will be hell.

This war is between Life and Death. They are the Spirit of Death. We are committing suicide.

Instead, on this Good Friday, let us affirm Life!

First and foremost, we must be One. We must hold our noses and Love one another.

Intel Creates ‘Anti-Toxicity’ Voice Chat Software To Censor Your Voice In Real Time

"Bleep" software can reportedly detect and censor "Misogyny," "Aggression," "Ableism and Body Shaming," "White Nationalism," "LGBTQ+ Hate," the “N-Word,” and much more

Tech juggernaut Intel announced this week that they have developed artificial intelligence intended for online gaming voice chat that will censor “toxic slurs” such as “Misogyny,” “Swearing,” “Aggression,” “Ableism and Body Shaming,” “White Nationalism,” “LGBTQ+ Hate,” and the “N-Word.”

While Intel is perhaps best known for its microprocessors and other computer technology, the multinational corporation is now gearing to turn its attention to political activism.

Intel originally started developing censorship AI in 2019, helping Spirit AI’s “harassment” detecting program called “Ally” make the transition to processing actual human speech in addition to voice chat.

Two years later, Intel has proclaimed that their voice censorship program, now called “Bleep,” will be released as a beta this year.

During the GDC showcase, Intel VP Roger Chandler pontificated about “gaming’s dark sides,” citing a report by the left-wing agitator group Anti-Defamation League which claims 22% of players are forced to leave a game due to “harassment.”

Chandler declared that toxic competitive voice chat is a problem that “the entire industry has to address,” and will utilize AI acceleration on “latest-generation Intel laptops and desktop platforms.”

“As you can see behind me, users can define the filters and the categories that they would like to remove,” Intel marketing engineer Craig Raymond said.

“We are very excited to bring Bleep and the power of AI and Intel to gamers everywhere,” Raymond announced, adding that the software will be available for download in 2021.

The bizarre project has been met with a lukewarm response by actual gamers.

“Hmmm… I wonder where they got the voice samples to train the ai,” one commenter queried.

“I am now imagining some poor junior dev at intel being forced to scream obscenities and racial slurs into a microphone at intel HQ lol,” another replied.

'The Australian political parties have been completely compromised': David Flint

The Australian political parties have been "completely compromised" and vote people in preselection who do not have the "public interest" and life experience, according to Eminent law Professor David Flint.

“What we’ve seen in the Australian parties is that they’ve been completely compromised", he told Sky News host Cory Bernardi.

“They’ve been taken over so that most of the pre-selections are not based on merit … but based on loyalty by the candidate to the particular powerbroker.

“We’re getting people into politics who don’t have the public interest to go into politics. They certainly don’t have the experience they should have.”
