“C’Mon Man!”…Biden Offers Stunning Response To Media When Asked If He’s Worried About Corporations Moving Overseas To Avoid His Promised Tax Increases

 

When President Biden arrived back at the White House today after spending Easter with his family, he was met by the press with questions regarding his plan to heighten corporate tax rates. The concern among his opposition is that this new tax increase which is meant to fund his “infrastructure” plan, is really a way to obtain funding for the Democrat’s “New Green Deal” agenda.

 

100 Percent Fed Up reports – When pressed about the possibility of large corporations moving overseas to avoid new taxation,Biden responded, “‘There’s no evidence to that. You’re talking about companies in the Fortune 500 that haven’t paid a single penny in tax for 3 years. Come on, man.”

 

The GOP has repeatedly criticized this plan, insisting that there are too many social initiatives in the plan that they don’t deem necessary or related to the overarching proposition of infrastructure investment. The proposed tax hike continues to be met with dissent from Republican lawmakers who believe the plan will raise the corporate tax too high and result in negative economic effects.

 

While this could affect the location of large corporations in the U.S., it could also impact Americans earning $200,000 a year.

Jen Psaki Claims Joe Biden Wanted to Support Baseball Players, Not Lead Boycott of Georgia

 

White House press secretary Jen Psaki struggled Monday to clarify comments President Joe Biden made supporting Major League Baseball’s (MLB) decision to move the All-Star game from Atlanta to protest Georgia’s new election security laws.

 

President Biden told ESPN Wednesday he “strongly supported” the idea of moving the All-Star game out of Atlanta before MLB made the decision to pull the game.

 

“I think today’s professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly. I would strongly support them doing that,” Biden said when asked about the idea during an ESPN interview. “People look to them. They’re leaders.”

 

Biden also described the new election law as “Jim Crow on steroids.”

 

On Friday, the MLB announced Friday their decision to pull the game, prompting vocal criticism from Republicans and supporters of the law. Even Georgia Democrats who opposed the law expressed disappointment with the league for hurting the local economy by canceling the game.

 

But on Monday, Psaki tried to dodge responsibility for the boycott, suggesting the president was only trying to support MLB players.

 

“He was not dictating for what Major League Baseball should do, that they should — dictating they should move the All-Star game,” she said. “That was their decision, they made that decision, and as he stated earlier he certainly supports that.”

 

She said Biden’s remarks should be considered in “context.”

 

But when asked by reporters if Biden supported the MLB decision to pull the game from Atlanta, Psaki demurred.

 

“He supports them being able to make the decision, and respond to what their players, you know, asks are given many of them are impacted of course by these laws,” she said.

 

When asked if she was trying to walk back Biden’s comments, Psaki replied, “I’m trying to articulate clearly to everyone what he said.”

 

During the decision process, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said he gathered feedback from the teams and had conversations with Tony Clark, director of the Major League Baseball Players Association about the law, but ultimately made the decision himself.

 

“I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft,” he said in his statement. It was unclear whether a majority of baseball players actually supported the decision.

 

When asked if Biden would support the PGA golf tour moving The Masters championship tournament out of Atlanta, Psaki declined to weigh in.

 

“I’m not here to call for anyone on behalf of the president or the vice president or anyone to take a step in reaction to the law in Georgia,” she said.

Clarence Thomas: Supreme Court Will Soon Have to Address Tech Censorship

 

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas today outlined a detailed legal argument for why social media companies might need to be subject to strict rules forbidding them from denying service to users for any reason or no reason, including the possibility of designating them as common carriers — which would effectively eliminate their ability to ban or censor users for legal, First Amendment protected speech.

 

Thomas outlined his opinion in a concurrence to reject a case that began under the Trump administration, challenging the President’s right to block users from his Twitter feed.

 

However, Thomas indicated that the Supreme Court will soon have to address the issue of tech censorship.

 

“We will soon have no choice but to address how our legal doctrines apply to highly concentrated, privately owned information infrastructure such as digital platforms” wrote Thomas.

 

Such a case would likely encompass many of the complaints brought by conservatives against social media companies. Social media censorship has intensely escalated over the past few years, with targets of bans and censorship including elected officials like President Trump, political candidates like Laura Loomer, and news organizations like Breitbart News and the New York Post.

 

Thomas also noted other cases that raised concerns about digital platforms’ control over speech. On the rejected case brought by Loomer and Freedom Watch last year, Thomas noted that it highlighted “two important facts.”

 

Today’s digital platforms provide avenues for historically unprecedented amounts of speech, including speech by government actors. Also unprecedented, however, is the concentrated control of so much speech in the hands of a few private parties.

 

The case addressed by Thomas was brought on the basis that the president is a public official, and that his feed should thus be considered a constitutionally protected public forum, therefore implying that the President cannot bar users from his feed via the block feature.

 

Thomas argued that Twitter’s decision to ban President Trump proved that Twitter, not the President, controlled whether citizens could interact with him.

These 6 corporations control 90% of the media outlets in America. The illusion of choice and objectivity 2020 –

 

Elite is a word we use in our daily conversations but few people probably know the origin and the history of the word. Elites (French élite, from Latin eligere, to select or to sort out) are a small group of powerful people who hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, privilege, political power, or skill in society.

 

This elite class, which also includes the Big Tech companies, now controls what we read, watch, or listen to. There is even a new browser extension tool that shows how the Big Tech giants are invading your privacy by tracking your every move online.

 

Today, their impacts are more felt in our online news intake and media consumption habits. 37 years ago, 50 companies control the media in America. Fast forward to 2011, American news outlets are controlled only by 6 powerful corporations. Back in 2018, Jim Morrison, a singer, songwriter, and poet, who served as the lead vocalist of the rock band, once said: “Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.”

 

He was right. Today, Americans think they have an unlimited variety of entertainment and media options right at their fingertips. But it is all a lie. This illusion of choice was fabricated by the media elites. In the early 90s before the mainstream adoption of the Internet, the media landscape used to be simple and straightforward. Today, 6 media giants control a whopping 90% of what we read, watch, or listen to.

 

Objectivity in journalism is an illusion created by the elite class to give the appearance of balanced news. However, there is no such thing as unbiased news. Journalists who work for these six corporations answer to their owners and ultimately serve their agendas. For example, no logical thinking person will expect Washington Post to write a fair and objective story about its owner, especially a story that Jeff Bezos reportedly cheated on his wife. The point of all these is that the media outlets don’t necessarily serve the interest of the people they control, instead, they serve the interests of their owners.

 

In today’s startup-centric economy, it is almost impossible for independent media outlets to compete with these six giant corporations that distribute and control a majority of the media in this country. While it may seem that we have limitless options, the simple truth is that we don’t.

 

We’re been fed what the media oligarchs want us to eat. The same can be said of the big tech companies that own the social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. These tech overlords silent dissents and censor content that do not fit the elite agenda.

 

“Today, a majority of online content we consume on the Internet is controlled by Comcast, ATT, Verizon.”

 

That being said, below is an infographic of six corporations that own everything in the big media today. This infographic created by Jason at Frugal Dad shows that almost all media comes from the same six sources.

 

Of note, this infographic is dated and does not reflect the current media owners of some of the news outlets. For example, GE no longer owns NBC anymore. But the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates “the illusion of choice,” Frugal Dad says. As of September 2020, the 6 media giants are ATT (bought Time Warner), CBS, Comcast, Disney, News Corp (the parent company of Fox News), and Viacom.

USBP Arrests Dangerous Sexual Predator

 

Release Date:

April 5, 2021

 

Otay Mesa, Calif. — San Diego Sector (SDC) Border Patrol agents arrested a previously deported sex offender after he illegally entered the U.S.

 

At about 10:45 p.m. last night, an agent patrolling the mountains just east of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry was searching for a group of illegal entrants when he saw two men attempting to conceal themselves in thick brush.

 

The agent questioned the men about their immigration status and both men admitted to being illegally present in the U.S. The men were placed under arrest and transported to a nearby Border Patrol station for processing. At the station, a records check revealed that one of the men, a 35-year-old El Salvadorian national, had been convicted in 2009 for aggravated sexual battery of a child under 13 in Virginia. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The man was subsequently removed to El Salvador in 2014 after having a portion of his criminal sentence suspended.

 

The El Salvadorian man will be held in federal custody pending prosecution for felony illegal reentry after deportation. The second man was expelled back to Mexico.

 

In fiscal year 2021, which began October 1, SDC’s Border Patrol agents have arrested 31 sex offenders exceeding the 25 sex offenders arrested in San Diego Sector during fiscal year 2020.

 

To prevent illegal entry and other contraband, the U.S. Border Patrol maintains a high level of vigilance on corridors of egress away from our nation’s borders. To report suspicious activity to the U.S. Border Patrol, contact San Diego Sector at (619) 498-9900.

Philadelphia CBP Seizes Nearly 600 Cases of Infant Formula Unapproved for Import to the United States

 

Release Date:

April 5, 2021

 

PHILADELPHIA – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized 588 cases of infant formula, valued at about $30,000, in Philadelphia recently for violating U.S. Food and Drug Administration import safety regulations.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Philadelphia recently seized nearly 600 cases of infant formula that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined to be in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act as misbranded and adulterated products.

CBP officers seized 588 cases of

misbranded infant formula.

 

During February, CBP officers inspected 17 separate shipments of a variety of HiPP and Holle brand infant formulas that arrived from Germany and The Netherlands, respectively. The infant formula was destined to a Philadelphia freight forwarder for eventual delivery to an address in Nevada. Officers detained the shipments and consulted with the FDA who issued import safety alerts concerning noncompliant infant formula.

 

In March, the FDA determined that the infant formula lacked appropriate nutritional labeling and violated the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) as misbranded and adulterated consumer products. The FD&C Act prohibits the introduction, or delivery for the introduction, into interstate commerce of any food, drug, device, tobacco product, or cosmetic that is adulterated or misbranded. Additionally, the manufacturers failed to comply with FDA regulatory requirements to sell their infant formula in the United States.

 

Consumer protection remains a CBP hallmark trade enforcement priority, and the agency cautions consumers who may be considering buying online from overseas vendors.

 

“Consumers should be very careful when contemplating the purchase of items over the internet from an international source, because they may not get what they expect. People expect that the products they purchase comply with existing U.S. health and safety laws and regulations and they’ll be safe for them or their family. That’s not always the case.” said Keith Fleming, CBP’s Acting Director of Field Operations in Baltimore. “CBP remains steadfast in our continuing commitment to working with the Food and Drug Administration and our other consumer safety partners in our collective efforts to help keep our citizens safe.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Philadelphia recently seized nearly 600 cases of infant formula that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined to be in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act as misbranded and adulterated products.

The infant formula violates the Federal

Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.

 

CBP officers from the Office of Field Operations conduct the agency’s border security mission at our nation’s Ports of Entry. CBP officers screen international travelers and cargo and search for dangerous drugs, unreported currency, weapons, counterfeit consumer goods, prohibited agriculture, and other illicit products that could potentially harm the American public, U.S. businesses, and our nation’s safety and economic vitality.

 

On a typical CBP day last year, CBP processed 90,000 entries of imported goods with a value of $6.64 billion at our air, sea and land ports of entry. Learn more about CBP at www.CBP.gov.

AMD's Zen 3 CPUs Are Susceptible To Spectre-Like Vulnerability (Updated)

 

Update 5/4/2020 8:30am PT: Linux publication Phoronix has carried out preliminary testing on the impact of disabling Predictive Store Forwarding. AMD hasn't provided any patches, therefore, the author compiled his own kernel with the feature disabled.

 

Phoronix's results revealed a negligible performance hit when disabling Predictive Store Forwarding. Across a suite of 100 tests, the geometric mean was less than a half percent in terms of performance loss.

 

We've reached out to AMD for comment and will update the story accordingly when the chipmaker gets back to us.

 

Original Story:

 

AMD has published a whitepaper on a potential security vulnerability that affects the company's latest Zen 3 processors. The side-channel exploit is similar to Spectre that affected a plethora of Intel processors three years ago.

 

With Zen 3, AMD introduced a new technology called Predictive Store Forwarding (PSF), which helps improve code execution performance by predicting the relationship between loads and stores. In the majority of the cases, PSF's predictions are on the spot. However, there is still a slim chance that the prediction may not be accurate, which results in an incorrect CPU speculation.

 

AMD's CPU architects have discovered that bad PSF speculation is equivalent to Spectre v4. Software that relies on isolation or "sandboxing" is highly at risk when it comes to incorrect speculation. AMD provided two scenarios where an incorrect PSF prediction can occur.

 

"First, it is possible that the store/load pair had a dependency for a while but later stops having a dependency. This can occur if the address of either the store or load changes during the execution of the program."

 

"The second source of incorrect PSF predictions can occur if there is an alias in the PSF predictor structure. The PSF predictor is designed to track stores/load pairs based on portions of their RIP. It is possible that a store/load pair which does have a dependency may alias in the predictor with another store/load pair which does not. This may result in incorrect speculation when the second store/load pair is executed."

Cybercriminals Hacked GitHub's Servers for Crypto Mining

 

GitHub is now investigating the crypto mining campaign that is abusing its servers.

 

 

GitHub's electricity bill likely skyrocketed in recent months. The code-hosting company, owned by Microsoft, is investigating a series of attacks against its cloud infrastructure that allowed cybercriminals to hack into its servers and use them for crypto-mining operations, a report by The Record explains.

 

The attacks, which were carried out by abusing a GitHub automated task and workflow feature called GitHub Actions, have been occurring since the fall of 2020.

 

GitHub security engineer Justin Perdok told The Record that at least one person is targeting GitHub repositories in which GitHub Actions might be enabled.

 

The attacker adds malicious GitHub Actions to the original code before filing a 'Pull Request' with the original repository. This merges the malicious code back into the original.

 

As Perdok explains, the original project owner doesn't even need to approve the malicious Pull Request for the attack to work. Simply filing the Pull Request is enough.

 

Though GitHub says is are investigating the problem, it appears that it is a difficult issue to resolve — the company is actively deactivating malicious accounts, though new ones are easily activated by users intending to abuse the firm's servers.

Virtual crypto-mining machines created with malicious code

 

Attackers specifically target GitHub project owners with automated workflows that test incoming pull requests via automated jobs, Perdok explained.

 

Once a malicious Pull Request is filed, GitHub's systems read the attacker's code and program a virtual machine that downloads and runs cryptocurrency mining software on GitHub's infrastructure.

 

Perdok told The Record that he has seen attackers spin up to 100 crypto-miners throughout the course of only one attack. Unsurprisingly, as crypto mining consumes more electricity globally than entire countries, this creates enormous computational loads for GitHub's infrastructure.

 

Perdok explained that he identified at least one account creating hundreds of malicious Pull Requests and the attacks appear to have been happening since at least November 2020, when it was reported by a French software engineer.

 

So far, the attacks have not been damaging users' projects in any way, and instead are focused on illicitly utilizing GitHub's infrastructure for crypto mining.

‘Finish him’: Liberals celebrate with glee as Supreme Court REFUSES to hear Alex Jones’ appeal in Sandy Hook case

 

The InfoWars founder’s fiercest critics have been more than happy about a decision by the Supreme Court to dismiss an appeal from him on a lawsuit stemming from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

 

The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from Jones on Monday. The controversial conservative has been fighting a court sanction from a defamation lawsuit launched by families of victims of the 2012 shooting, which left 26 people dead.

 

Jones is being sued by the family members, as well as an FBI agent that responded to the shooting, for allegedly claiming the incident was a hoax on his show. Families claim they have been subjected to harassment and death threats since Jones made his comments.

 

Jones was penalized in 2019 for refusing to hand over court documents as requested by opposing attorneys, as well as for an allegedly threatening outburst on his show against one of the attorneys. Judge Barbara Bellis barred Jones from filing a motion to dismiss the case and ordered him to pay for some of the legal fees of the families suing him.

 

The ‘threatening’ message Jones said on his show related to attorney Christopher Mattei of planting child pornography, which was found in email metadata files Jones turned over.

 

“You’re trying to set me up with child porn,” Jones said on his show in 2019. “One million dollars, you little gang members. One million dollars to put your head on a pike.”

 

Norman Pattis, Jones’ attorney, said the pornography was in emails sent to Jones, but they were never opened. He previously said the FBI cleared Jones of any wrongdoing after an inquiry found “there was no suggestion that anyone here wanted that material, ever looked at it or even knew about it.” InfoWars has described the material as part of a “malware attack.”

 

Pattis called the Supreme Court’s dismissal “a disappointment” and blasted Judge Bellis for “[asserting] frightening and standardless power over the extrajudicial statements of litigants.”

 

“Mr. Jones never threatened anyone; had he done so, he would have been charged with a crime. We are inching our way case-by-case toward a toothless, politically correct, First Amendment,” Pattis said in a statement to The Associated Press.

 

Joshua Koskoff, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families, applauded the court’s decision, slamming Jones as an “opportunist” preying on grieving families.

 

Jones faced another legal setback in January after the Texas Supreme Court refused to dismiss four defamation suits from parents of children who died in the Sandy Hook shooting. They sued in Travis County where InfoWars is based.

State Department: US Prepared to Discuss Sanctions Relief With Iran Guided by Terms of 2015 Deal

 

US negotiators will be present in Vienna during Tuesday's meeting of the remaining signatories of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal, but are not expected to be allowed in the room where the meeting takes place, per Iran's request.

 

The United States is prepared to discuss sanctions relief with Iran on the basis of the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, State Department spokesman Ned Price has said.

 

"We certainly will not entertain unilateral gestures or concessions to induce Iran to a better place. Our goal at these talks in Vienna is to set the stage for that mutual return to compliance. The original formulation is one that still holds today -it's the limited lifting of nuclear sanctions in return for permanent and verifiable limits on Iran's nuclear programme," Price said, speaking to reporters in Washington, DC on Monday.

 

Pressed by AP reporter Matt Lee about whether the US might consider lifting non-nuclear sanctions, Price said he would "leave it to the negotiators to detail the positions."

 

Commenting on the US's goals at the upcoming Vienna meeting, the spokesman said that Washington expects the talks to focus on "the issues involved in a mutual return to compliance with the JCPOA, mutual meaning on the part of Iran and on the part of the United States. That has long been the proposition on the table."

 

He added that the US would use the Vienna talks to get a better understanding of how to reach "compliance for compliance", but noted that Washington doesn't "anticipate an early or immediate breakthrough," and expects talks to be "difficult."

 

"We don't anticipate at present that there will be direct talks with Iran, though of course we remain open to them. So we'll have to see how things go," Price added.

 

The State Department spokesman went on to criticise the Biden administration's predecessor for reducing the "breakout time" hypothetically required for Iran to build a nuclear bomb, saying this period has "dwindled" under Donald Trump from the 12-month timeframe it was at while the JCPOA was in force.

Trump rips into the New York Times over report that his campaign duped supporters into unintended donations

 

The report claims the campaign bilked supporters out of money

 

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the New York Times over a report that his presidential campaign had duped supporters out of millions of dollars in unwitting automatic transactions.

 

The report was published Saturday and included interviews with several Trump supporters who said that they had authorized a donation to the campaign but later saw their bank accounts depleted from multiple automatic transactions that they did not expect.

 

On Monday, the former president excoriated the report and denied the claims against his campaign.

 

"In yet another highly partisan story, the failing New York Times wrote a completely misleading, one-sided attack piece this weekend that tried to disparage our record-setting grassroots fundraising operation during the 2020 campaign," read the Trump statement.

 

The report said that donors on the webpage encountered pre-checked boxes that would allow the campaigns to make multiple recurring requests for donations.

 

"Our support in 2020 was so big — never before seen (received more votes than any sitting President in history, by far), that it has become a major threat to the Democratic Party, which explains why the New York Times immediately rushed to defend their Radical Left Allies," Trump continued.

 

"In fact, many people were so enthusiastic that they gave over and over, and in certain cases, where they would give too much, we would promptly refund their contributions. Our overall dispute rate was less than 1% of total online donations, a very low number. This is done by Dems also," Trump said.

 

The Times reported that the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee had issued more than 530,000 refunds to online donors in the last 2 1/2 months of 2020. They reported that Democratic campaigns had only made 37,000 refunds in that same period. Overall, the GOP entities refunded $64.3 million, while Democratic entities refunded $5.6 million in that time period.

 

"Our fundraising efforts, working together with the Republican party, were all done legally," Trump continued, "and all with the goal of ensuring that my Administration could continue to Make America Great Again."

House Candidate Takes Aim At Newspaper For Calling Her Comments ‘Racist,’ Requests $10 Million In Damages

 

A candidate in the special election for Texas’ 6th Congressional District filed a defamation lawsuit on Monday against a local newspaper.

 

Sery Kim, an official in both the Donald Trump and George W. Bush administrations, filed a lawsuit against the Texas Tribune over its characterization of comments she made at a March 31 candidate forum as “racist.” Kim, a Republican, is running to replace Republican Rep. Ron Wright, who died on Feb. 7 after battles with lung cancer and COVID-19.

 

“At that time [the 1960s], we welcomed Chinese people into this country. I don’t want them here at all. They steal our intellectual property. They give us coronavirus. They don’t hold themselves accountable. And quite frankly, I can say that because I’m Korean,” Kim said, responding to a question about immigration at a forum reportedly hosted by the Arlington Republican Women and Arlington Republican Club.

 

Kim then followed up on these remarks. “The other thing is that, we all realize that most of the people that live in our communities are outstanding, amazing people. We cannot look at someone and say, ‘Oh you’re illegal. Oh, you’re legal.’ I’ve had so many people question whether I was legal or I was illegal until they heard my Texas twang.”

 

The Texas Tribune published an article on April 3 headlined, “GOP congressional candidate in Texas special election loses prominent supporters after racist comment about Chinese immigrants.” The article discusses the decision of Republican California Reps. Young Kim and Michele Steel, the first Korean-American members of Congress, to rescind their endorsements of Kim.

 

“We cannot in good conscience continue to support her candidacy. We will continue to speak out in support of our AAPI community,” they told Newsweek on April 3.

 

Kim told the Daily Caller that in their original context, her comments were about the Chinese Communist Party, and not Chinese immigrants more generally.

 

“When I said I don’t want them, I was speaking about the Chinese Communist Party,” she said. “I welcome anyone fleeing the Communist Party of China.”

Former Gaetz staffer says resignation had nothing to do with allegations, backs GOP congressman

 

The staffer said he planned to leave Gaetz's office before the allegations surfaced.

 

The staffer for GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz who resigned last week said Monday that his resignation was not related to the federal sex-trafficking probe related to the Florida lawmaker and former boss.

 

"Nothing could be further from the truth," the staffer, Nathan Nelson, said at a press conference.

 

Nelson, who was Gaetz's director of Military Affairs, said his resignation last week was already planned and that he resigned to focus on military affairs in Florida in a private capacity.

 

"This baseless claim against me makes me further convinced that the allegations against Congressman Gaetz are likewise fabricated and merely an attempt to discredit a very vocal conservative," Nelson said.

 

Nelson said he had known Gaetz for over six years and he had worked for him for four, dating back to when Gaetz was a state representative in Florida.

Institute Behind ‘WELL Health Safety Seal’ Ad Has Massive Ties To China, CCP

 

The International Well Building Institute's founder and leadership team have massive ties to China

 

The International Well Building Institute’s founder and leadership team have massive ties to mainland China, as well as various Chinese companies.

 

Americans were surprised recently when they turned on their televisions to see an advertisement featuring celebrities like Lady Gaga, Robert De Niro, Michael B. Jordan, and Jennifer Lopez, urging US businesses to get the “WELL Health-Safety Seal” from the International Well Building Institute.

 

“Look for the WELL Health-Safety Seal,” said each spokesperson.

 

Former Goldman Sachs partner and founder of IWBI’s $800 million parent company Delos, Paul Scialla, appeared in the video and claimed that the safety rating is informed by “years of research and input” from leading epidemiologists, virologists, health professionals, and public health experts.

 

In order for a building to get the Well Health-Safety Rating, it must meet strict criteria related to “sanitization procedures, emergency preparedness programs, air and water quality, and health service resources.” Additionally, businesses would have to pay thousands of dollars (depending on building size and revenue) to get the rating.

A possible QAnon slip-up suggests the truth of Q’s identity was right there all along

 

The identity of Q, the supposed top-secret government operative and prophet of the extremist ideology QAnon, has for years been a fiercely debated mystery. But a possible slip-up in a new documentary suggests the answer was always the most obvious one: Ron Watkins, the long-time administrator of the message board 8kun, the conspiratorial movement’s online home.

 

Most major QAnon researchers have long speculated that Watkins had written many of the false and cryptic posts alleging that former president Donald Trump was waging war against an elite international cabal of Satan-worshipping paedophiles. Watkins has long denied his involvement, saying he was merely a neutral backroom operator of the site and never a participant.

 

But in the Sunday finale for the HBO series Q: Into the Storm, filmmaker Cullen Hoback points to what he argues is a key piece of evidence that Watkins had lied about his role in the more than 4000 messages Q had posted since 2017.

 

In a final scene, after Watkins talked about how he had shared voter-fraud conspiracy theories after Trump’s loss in the 2020 elections, he told Hoback: “It was basically three years of intelligence training, teaching normies how to do intelligence work. It was basically what I was doing anonymously before, but never as Q.”

 

To Hoback, it was an inadvertent admission that Watkins had actually been Q, crafting secret communiques and shaping the movement for “normies”, or normal people, to consume. But in the scene, Watkins smiled and cleared his throat, seeking to correct – or further muddy – the record: “Never as Q. I promise. I am not Q.”

 

The evidence is circumstantial, and no proof affirms Watkins’ role. Watkins, for his part, messaged his 150,000 subscribers on the chat service Telegram late on Sunday, “Friendly reminder: I am not Q. Have a good weekend.”

 

But the revelation has reinvigorated debate about the clues of Watkins’ role in one of the biggest conspiracy-theory movements of the internet age.

 

Watkins and his father, 8kun owner Jim Watkins, were the only people who could boast of a behind-the-scenes dialogue with the nameless prophet, and QAnon’s rise had served to give the bizarre duo a level of attention and infamy that they seemed to relish in video live streams and online posts.

Portland Rioter Indicted On Multiple Attempted Murder Charges After Throwing Molotov Cocktails At Police

 

If you can believe it, Multnomah County’s pro-antifa District Attorney, Mike Schmidt, has actually decided to do his job. Though Schmidt has dismissed most of the charges against the rioters over the last year, a grand jury has returned a 28-count indictment against Malik Fard Muhammed for his role in multiple riots last fall.

 

This PEACEFUL PROTESTER is charged with multiple counts of attempted murder and possession of weapons and destructive devices. Muhammed is accused of throwing multiple Molotov Cocktails at police, among other things.

 

Muhammed had initially been arrested on charges of Criminal Mischief and Riot, but posted $4000 bail and returned to his home in Indiana.

Facebook is making a bracelet that lets you control computers with your brain

 

The device would let you interact with Facebook’s upcoming augmented-reality glasses just by thinking.

 

 

Facebook says it has created a wristband that translates motor signals from your brain so you can move a digital object just by thinking about it.

 

How does it work? The wristband, which looks like a clunky iPod on a strap, uses sensors to detect movements you intend to make. It uses electromyography (EMG) to interpret electrical activity from motor nerves as they send information from the brain to the hand. The company says the device, as yet unnamed, would let you navigate augmented-reality menus by just thinking about moving your finger to scroll.

 

A quick refresher on augmented reality: It overlays information on your view of the real world, whether it’s data, maps, or other images. The most successful experiment in augmented reality was Pokémon Go, which took the world by storm in 2016 as players crisscrossed neighborhoods in search of elusive Pokémon characters. That initial promise has faded over the intervening years, however, as companies have struggled to translate the technology into something appealing, light, and usable. Google Glass and Snap Spectacles bombed, for example: people simply did not want to use them. Facebook thinks its wristband is more user friendly.

 

Does it work the way Facebook claims? Too soon to tell. The product is still in research and development at the company’s internal Facebook Reality Labs, and I didn’t get to have a go. No word yet on when it will be released or how much it will cost, either.

 

Years in the making: Facebook acquired startup CTRL-labs in September 2019 for between $500 million and $1 billion. CTRL had been working on its own wrist-based EMG device, and its head, Thomas Reardon, who is now the director of Neuromotor Interfaces at Facebook Reality Labs. At the press preview, Reardon said the device was “not mind control.” He added, “This is coming from the part of the brain that controls motor information, not thought.”

China’s Secret Human Animal Hybrid Experiments

 

China is conducting secret Frankenstein-style human-animal hybrid experiments creating super viruses, human-monkey hybrids, human head transplants on monkeys and pigs, gene-editing babies, super soldiers etc. Most of these experiments are exported out of western countries since they were shutdown in the west due to heavy criticism.

 

China’s Secret Hybrid Experiments

 

It is now known that China has been carrying out all kinds of dangerous and ethically controversial research which may not be allowed in Western countries.

 

It is also known that scientists from other countries outsource controversial and unethical experiments to labs in China.

 

Human-monkey hybrids, head transplants, souped-up viruses and gene editing are just some of the tests known to have been carried out by Chinese scientists.

 

The US had already banned “Franken-virus” experiments as they pose a great threat of enhanced virus leaking from labs – which may cause devastating pandemics – just like the one the world is experiencing right now.

ESPN fires Paul Pierce after racy, wild video goes viral

 

ESPN has fired NBA analyst Paul Pierce, a source confirmed to The Post.

 

The decision was made after Pierce published racy Instagram videos on Friday, showing him smoking what appeared to be marijuana and with scantily clad women whom may have been strippers.

 

The news was first reported by Barrett Sports Media’s Ryan Glasspiegel.

 

Pierce, 43, has been on a bit of a downward trajectory at ESPN but had hung on enough where he was a regular contributor to its top studio shows, “NBA Countdown” and “The Jump.” During a recent show, he went on the air and said the wrong team won. He was quickly corrected.

 

According to sources, ESPN was particularly miffed that Pierce chose to put the videos out on his own accord. If he had been filmed doing the same activities and they became public by someone else, he may have kept his job.

 

When the news became public on Monday, Pierce went to Twitter and posted a four-second video that said, “Smile” and the message, “Big Things coming soon stay tuned make sure u smile #Truthshallsetufree.”

 

Pierce is expected to be voted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this year.

 

ESPN, which declined comment, has no immediate plans to replace Pierce, as it has a host of analysts it can rotate in.
