Raul Castro Announces His Resignation as Head of Communist Party of Cuba

 

The Cuban politician previously signalled he was planning to resign from the post, which he assumed in 2011 after several decades of his brother Fidel's leadership. Castro is expected to hand over the reins to Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.

 

Raul Castro is stepping down as first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba, the official newspaper Granma reported, citing his announcement made at the party's congress in the capital Havana.

 

"The General of the Army said that he was pleased to hand over the leadership of the country to a group of trained leaders, seasoned by decades of experience … committed to the ethics of the Revolution, identified with the history and culture of the nation", the newspaper said.

 

Castro is expected to officially resign from his duties this weekend. His resignation heralds the end of the "Castro era" in the Caribbean nation that has continued uninterrupted since 1959, when his older brother Fidel came to power before transferring his duties to Raul in 2006.

 

In 2011, Raul Castro was officially elected the first secretary, and was re-elected in 2016.

 

The announcement comes during the party's congress that is expected to wrap up on 19 April, when Castro's successor will be announced. Incumbent Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel is expected to assume the post.

Mark Weinberg QC the corrupt former judge appointed by Scott Morrison to cover up Australia’s alleged war crimes

 

Mark Weinberg QC believes some people such as judges are above the law and accountability and I know this for a fact because he was filmed on video in 2017 in court saying as much as per below. He is also the person appointed by the Scott Morrison government to cover up the alleged war crimes in Afghanistan committed by Australian troops.

 

I published an article in June 2017 about Mark Weinberg titled “Australian judges attack political free speech and try to cover-up judicial corruption” and wrote:

 

“The Supreme Court reserved its decision on whether or not to proceed with contempt of court charges against federal MP’s Health Minister Greg Hunt, Human Services Minister Alan Tudge and Assistant ­Treasurer Michael Sukkar.”

 

“Judicial bribery was also raised in court on Friday and implied it should not be reported in the media which is amazingly brazen in an attempt to cover up judicial corruption.”

 

A journalist and The Australian newspaper are also potentially facing contempt charges and they were represented in court by a barrister named Mr Houghton on Friday for the contempt of court committal hearing. Justice Weinberg asked him a question as per below:

 

Justice Weinberg asked Mr Houghton whether The Australian would have published a story where judges were alleged to have been bribed and were corrupt.

 

“It would depend on the context,” he answered.

 

“Is that a serious answer?” the judge responded. (Click here to read more)

 

Why would a judge ask a question about the media reporting judicial bribery and then say, “Is that a serious answer?” when he got a response he didn’t like. Of course, the media should report judicial bribery. Fairfax Media and the ABC’s Four Corners reported in 2015 that the Australian Mafia bribed NSW judges $2.2 million. (Click here to read more) Was Justice Weinberg suggesting judicial bribery like that shouldn’t be reported? From what he said it seems so. (Click here to read more)

 

Below is the video of Justice Mark Weinberg trying to intimidate the News Corp barrister about reporting judicial corruption.

 

Mark Weinberg is also the former Victorian Appeal Court judge who found George Pell not guilty which some might say was supported by the High Court judgment. But the High Court did not support Mark Weinberg’s reasoning and came up with their own arrogant and ignorant reasoning in that they in effect found juries are a waste of time and can’t be relied on.

 

Whatever the case, if you wanted to get to the truth in the alleged war crimes, Mark Weinberg is the last person you would want as the newly appointed “special investigator” to examine the findings of the Brereton inquiry into the alleged Afghanistan war crimes. (Click here to read more)

Bribing, Incentivizing, and Threatening Termination Over Covid Vaccines: Is It Legal?

 

The question of the day: is it legal for companies and universities to be bribing, incentivizing, and downright threatening termination if someone doesn’t get the Covid-19 vaccine? Pushing the envelope doesn’t even begin to portray how these bought and paid for agencies are undermining our constitutional rights, skirting the law, and passing the buck to big corp.

 

First, the Covid vaccines weren’t going to be mandatory. In fact, they are not even approved or licensed by the FDA, and are technically “investigational” with an emergency use authorization (EUA). Not only are they forcing these experimental vaccines on students, employees, and civilians if they want to keep their job or be a part of society, they are bribing and incentivizing you to get one. Step right up for your free vaccine and get a free sugary donut, $100 gift card, paid time off work, tickets to an NBA game, or enter a raffle to win cash prizes, and by the way… if you don’t get one by July 1st, you are fired!

Getting to The Bottom of It

 

This is the nutshell version of this mixed soup they have created, with the more detailed and critical information documented below. This breaks down who has the authority to do what, and what laws are in place or not in place. This entire report is a must read, plus there are tips on what you can do at the end.

 

• The federal government cannot mandate these vaccines.

 

• The court has never ruled on the federal government’s authority to mandate a vaccine. The only law in place is that the federal government has the ability to mandate vaccines to members of the military.

 

• No state has mandated a Covid vaccine to date, but some are considering legislation that would prohibit employers from mandating vaccination. All states have the ability to prohibit vaccine mandates as a condition of employment. Here is a full list of the status of legislation in each state, as of March 5, 2021. Some of these might surprise you – a lot of states are fighting to prohibit it. Be sure to review the details of the bills and make sure it’s not limited to an EUA vaccine. Contact your legislatures and stay on top of it.

 

• Whereby states have mandated vaccines in schools in the past, they have not mandated vaccines for adults, with exception of the healthcare industry, nor have any states mandated the Covid-19 vaccination thus far, yet some schools and universities are taking it upon themselves to mandate it.

 

• Dr. Amanda Cohn, Executive Secretary of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices who has been with the CDC for 16 years, reminded everyone that “under an EUA, vaccines are not allowed to be mandatory. Therefore, early in the vaccination phase individuals will have to be consented and cannot be mandated to be vaccinated.”

 

• The EUA was created after September 11, and there has never been a legislative action to make EUAs mandatory. Only licensed vaccines have been made mandatory by legislation.

 

• Some employers are mandating Covid vaccinations, despite the fact these are not approved or licensed by the FDA, and are EUAs. Therefore, states need to take charge, people need to step up, and lawyers need to get involved.

 

• Despite all of this, the CDC has created an entire playbook for companies to be “vaccine champions,” instructing them on how to incentivize their employees and do vaccinations right in the workspace where everyone may be able to see who is getting vaccinated and who isn’t, potentially breaking HIPAA privacy laws. They include that an employer should implement stickers, posters, and signs everywhere, along with emails and confidence building to really hammer the message home. They even created a toolkit! Whereas, further down, they do mention providing employees with information on side effects, they do not state the FDA’s requirement (see below) on these EUAs. Instead, they have an entirely separate page that is not linked to the playbook. The CDC states that “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not mandate vaccination. However, whether a state, local government, or employer, for example, may require or mandate COVID-19 vaccination is a matter of state or other applicable law.” (There is no other “applicable law.”)

Biden Administration Asks Supreme Court To Drop Challenge to Men-Only Draft

 

Justice Department signals support for efforts to include women in the draft

 

The Biden administration is urging the Supreme Court not to hear a constitutional challenge to the men-only draft registration system, but female Selective Service registration is still a possibility.

 

The Justice Department told the High Court on Thursday that judicial action is unnecessary because Congress is actively considering whether to change draft registration rules. The National Coalition for Men and the ACLU say the Military Selective Service Act is unconstitutional because it discriminates against women, and they asked the justices to say as much in January.

 

"Although this Court might someday wish to reconsider the constitutionality of the MSSA’s registration requirement if that statutory provision remains unchanged, Congress’s attention to the question may soon eliminate any need for the Court to grapple with that constitutional question," DOJ lawyers wrote in legal papers.

 

The government’s brief is a sign that female draft registration could soon become a reality. Though the administration asked the justices not to get involved, its brief makes no attempt to defend the constitutionality of the sex-selective draft.

 

Indeed, the brief acknowledged that the main legal rationale for the men-only registration system is no longer in force. The Pentagon endorsed a draft registration requirement for women in 2017, and a blue ribbon commission that included director of national intelligence Avril Haines recommended that Congress amend the MSSA in March 2020.

 

The Justice Department’s proposal will likely appeal to the justices. The Court prefers to avoid deciding constitutional questions when it can and often avoids disputes when a legislative solution seems possible.

 

The Supreme Court upheld the men-only registration law in a 1981 case, Rostker v. Goldberg. Women were excluded from combat roles at that time. A six-justice majority said the MSSA’s registration rules simply reflected military policy, not a congressional choice to discriminate between like groups. The Court also said committees in both chambers studied the issue carefully, and their conclusions on a topic as grave as military affairs deserve deference.

 

The Defense Department opened combat positions to women in 2016. The plaintiffs challenging the MSSA say that reform destroyed the fundamental premise of Rostker and that the case ought to be overruled.

 

Female draft registration is a thorny political issue. Congress declined to amend the MSSA after the Defense Department implemented the gender integration policy for combat personnel. Instead, the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act punted the question to a blue ribbon commission that took three years to study the issue. The commission’s 2020 report recommended that men and women alike should be required to register for the Selective Service, and it included a draft bill along those lines.

 

Expanding registration would raise difficult questions about how deferments or exemptions to the draft would apply to women during conscription. The blue ribbon commission did not take a position on that issue.

 

Another question is whether the draft could be used to fill occupational specialties in the military. Historically, conscription has been used to augment combat forces. But a future draft could aim to mobilize all specialties, such as cyber operators or linguists.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Expands Mask Mandate to 2-Year-Olds

 

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) doubled down on her restrictive coronavirus strategy by requiring young children to wear masks.

 

Michigan Capitol Confidential reported the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), headed by Elizabeth Hertel, who just returned from an Alabama beach vacation, issued the order.

 

Children under the age of 5 had previously been exempt. But now, kids at camps and child care must be covered.

 

“A good faith effort is made to ensure that children aged 2 to 4 years wear a mask when participating in gatherings,” the order said.

 

The mandate noted at this point, children under 2 are exempt. It expires May 25.

 

The order came days after Hertel arrived back from a spring break vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama and another top Whitmer aide, Tricia Foster, was found to have vacationed in Siesta Key, Florida.

 

Critics questioned whether there were different rules for top officials. Whitmer responded, “What directors do on their personal time is their business, so long as they are safe.”

 

On Thursday, the governor appeared on MSNBC and blamed the Republican-controlled legislature and even former President Donald Trump himself for the situation.

 

Gov. Whitmer on whether she has the political ability to slow Michigan's Covid surge:

 

"We are so incredibly divided after the politics of the last 14 months. … I’m still trying to get the legislator to deploy resources that the Trump administration sent us." pic.twitter.com/eWMjK4H5gL

 

— All In with Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) April 16, 2021

 

When asked whether she had the “political ability” to shut the state down again, Whitmer responded, “I was sued by the Republican legislature here in Michigan. I lost in the Supreme Court. It was a Republican-dominated Supreme Court. I lost some of those executive powers.”

 

She continued, “We do retain some powers, but we are so incredibly divided after, I think, the politics of the last 14 months.”

 

She added the state has “some of the strongest protocols in place.”

 

Yet, virus cases continue to grow.

 

WJRT reported:

 

After two days of declines, the number of new COVID-19 cases in Michigan bounced back with the second highest daily increase on record and the largest one-day total so far this year.

 

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported 8,955 new COVID-19 illnesses on Friday for a total of 779,777. Only the 9,779 new cases on Nov. 20 was a higher daily increase for the state.

 

State health officials reported 40 deaths attributed to the coronavirus on Friday, which increase Michigan’s total COVID-19 deaths to 16,771.

 

The news station said 2.393 million people, or 29.6 percent of the population, have been vaccinated.

Joe Biden: ‘Who in God’s Name’ Needs a Weapon that Can Hold 20 Rounds?

 

 

President Joe Biden defended his record on gun control despite spending his energy on infrastructure spending, angrily condemning gun owners for owning weapons with the capacity of holding 20 rounds

 

“Who in God’s name, needs a weapon that can hold 100 rounds, or 40 rounds, or 20 rounds?” he asked. “It’s just wrong.”

 

Biden repeated he strongly supported a ban on assault weapons and even a ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds.

 

“It’s just wrong, and I’m not going to give up until it’s done,” he said.

 

The president blamed the Senate for blocking gun control, demanding that Republicans finally act on the issue.

 

“I continue and I strongly, strongly urge my Republican friends in the Congress who refuse to bring up the House-passed bill,” he said.

 

Biden complained that gun violence had become a “national embarrassment” in the United States.

 

“It’s not only these mass shootings that are occurring, every single day, every single day there’s a mass shooting in the United States if you count all those who are killed on the streets and our rural areas,” he said.

 

Biden claimed that the majority of gun owners in Americans supported the idea of universal background checks and banning sales of assault weapons.

 

“The majority of them think we should not be selling assault weapons,” he said.

Antony Blinken to Afghan President: U.S. Will Stay Even When Troops Leave

 

Washington will demonstrate “enduring” support for Afghanistan even after the U.S. withdraws its troops from the country later this year, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during an unannounced visit to Kabul on Thursday.

 

“The reason I’m here … is to demonstrate literally, by our presence, that we have an enduring and ongoing commitment to Afghanistan,” Blinken said during a press conference at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul on April 15.

 

“Even when our troops come home, our partnership with Afghanistan will continue,” America’s top diplomat vowed.

 

The U.S. said Wednesday it plans to completely withdraw all 2,500 of its remaining troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021, and that it will begin the process on May 1. The administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump had scheduled the Afghan troop withdrawal to be completed by May 1, 2021, meaning the new withdrawal deadline proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday serves as an extension of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan by over four months.

 

Blinken personally expressed Washington’s commitment to maintaining a non-military presence in Afghanistan after September 11 to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Thursday during a meeting with the leader in Kabul.

 

“The United States will continue its diplomatic and humanitarian support to Afghanistan and its security and defense forces, and will continue its efforts to facilitate the Afghan peace process,” Blinken told Ghani during their meeting, according to a statement released by the Afghan presidential palace.

 

Blinke said the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan “would not weaken the strategic relationship between the two countries and that the United States was committed to its commitment to the Afghan government and people,” according to the statement.

 

“The partnership is changing, but the partnership is enduring,” Blinken assured Ghani of the U.S.-Afghan bilateral relationship.

 

Blinken also met with Abdullah Abdullah, the head of Afghanistan’s High Council for National Reconciliation, on Thursday during his eight-hour stay in Kabul.

 

“This does not mean the end of relations and cooperation between the two countries. A new chapter of relations and cooperation between the two countries has returned and we will continue our cooperation in various fields in this chapter,” Abdullah said after meeting with the U.S. Secretary of State.

 

President Ghani on Wednesday said Afghanistan would continue working with the U.S. and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (N.A.T.O.) partners after the American troop withdrawal. He said the parties would seek peace with the Taliban terror group, which the U.S. and N.A.T.O. had originally sought to oust from power when the U.S. War in Afghanistan started in 2001.

 

“As we move into the next phase in our partnership, we will continue to work with our US/NATO partners in the ongoing peace efforts,” Ghani said in a statement on April 14.

Washington Sees Russian Response Measures as 'Escalatory,' Reserves Right to Retaliate

 

Moscow took retaliatory measures in response to sanctions Washington slapped against it over accusations of alleged election meddling and Russia's purported part in the SolarWinds cyber hack. Moscow has repeatedly dismissed these allegations as lacking any proof and harmful for bilateral relations.

 

The United States sees Russia's announcement of response actions as "escalatory" and reserves the right to retaliate, a State Department spokesperson told Sputnik.

 

"Today's announcement by the Russian government was escalatory and regrettable," the spokesperson said on Friday. "It is not in our interest to get into an escalatory cycle, but we reserve the right to respond to any Russian retaliation against the United States."

 

On Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced a response, which included barring eight current and former US officials from entering the country in retaliation for the new US sanctions and expulsions of Russian diplomats. Moscow noted that now is the time for the United States to demonstrate prudence by abandoning its confrontational stance toward Russia.

 

A new batch of sanctions was introduced by Washington over already long-standing allegations of interference in the US election and Moscow's alleged role in the SolarWinds cyberattack. Biden claimed on Thursday that he "could have gone further" with the sanctions, but "chose to be proportionate".

 

The Russian Foreign Ministry said the US government's actions were contrary to its declared intention to build pragmatic relations with Russia, and notified US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan that Moscow's retaliatory measures would be announced soon.

 

US-Russia relations suffered a downturn following Joe Biden's controversial remarks in an interview with ABC News in March. In particular, the US president threatened that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin would "pay a price" for alleged election meddling and answered in the affirmative when asked whether he considered Putin a "killer."

 

The Russian leader reacted to Biden's remarks wishing the American president good health and reminding him that evaluating other people is like looking in a mirror, and invited Biden to continue the discussion online.

 

At the same time, Moscow invited Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov for consultations to analyze further actions in the context of relations with the United States. According to Kremlin, President Vladimir Putin will decide when Antonov should return to Washington.
