Parler CEO Indicates He Wants Convention That Would Let Soros Rewrite Constitution, Admits It Cannot Be Limited

The tacit admittal resulted from the efforts by the Convention of States to push for a motion in the Kansas Legislature last week

The Convention of States, an organization run by Parler interim CEO Mark Meckler, tacitly admitted that an Article V constitutional convention cannot be limited by states.

Last Wednesday, Kansas Senators debated SCR 1611, a motion that would have violated the state’s own constitution. The resolution, brought forward by Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson, would have called for an Article V constitutional convention, despite the fact such a move would require a two-thirds majority to be successfully passed in the Kansas legislature, as required by Article 2 Section 13 of the Kansas constitution. The motion, when voted on, eventually failed, 21-19.

The Convention of States, an organization chaired by current interim CEO of Parler, Mark Meckler, fully backed the resolution, as they claimed that the Kansas Constitution, was, in fact, unenforceable, due to the fact that it “attempts to impose restrictions on the right of the legislature to call” an Article V constitutional convention. Meckler, who traveled to Kansas to make the pitch to Kansas legislators, and who’s Convention of States organization is pushing for the constitutional convention in order to seemingly implement mandatory balanced budgets in Congress and set term limits for federal officials, even claimed that Article 2 of the Kansas Constitution was “slipped in[to the document] without debate.”

White House Agrees To Removes China's Xiaomi From Pentagon Trade Blacklist

In what is being described as a "rare victory" for a Chinese technology giant entangled in a spat with the US government, it appears the Biden Administration has decided to end the persecution of Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, which had been targeted by the Trump Administration, along with a host of other Chinese firms, most notably telecoms titan Huawei.

A Joint Status Report released late Tuesday showed the DoD and Xiaomi had agreed to resolve ongoing litigation "without further contest". Xiaomi had sued the US government after the Pentagon placed it on a government blacklist, accusing it of having close ties to the Chinese military, though the Biden administration now believes that vacating that designation "would be appropriate."

“The parties have agreed upon a path forward that would resolve this litigation without the need for contested briefing,” according to the filing. A comprehensive "joint proposal" is expected to be filed before May 20.

A Xiaomi spokeswoman said the company is watching the latest developments closely, without elaborating.

Xiaomi sued the government earlier this year after the Pentagon issued an order designating the firm as having ties to the PLA, Chinese military, which would have led eventually to the firm's forceful de-listing from US exchanges and its expulsion from global equity benchmark indexes. The settlement isn't exactly a surprise: An American judge granted Xiaomi an injunction back in March to prevent "irreparable" harm to the company's business on the expectation that the Trump Administration's move would likely be over turned (the ruling also cited the US government's "deeply flawed" process for including it in the ban, according to US District Judge Rudolph Contreras, who oversaw the case ).

Unsurprisingly, Xiaomi shares surged more than 6% on the news in Hong Kong markets on Wednesday.

But the deal is just another example of how the Biden Administration is trying to walk a tightrope between the Biden family's longstanding business ties to China (which we learned some new details about just the other day) and the antagonistic approach to waging economic war against China pioneered by President Trump, which has proven to be enduringly popular among the American people.

Founded by billionaire entrepreneur Lei Jun more than 10 years ago, Xiaomi was seen as a unlikely target for Trump's scrutiny (the firm enjoyed the financial backing of American chip giant Qualcomm in its early years).

IDF will fight until there’s ‘complete silence’ before any truce is possible, says Israeli defense minister

Israel’s defense minister has vowed to continue operations against Palestinian militants, claiming the country’s forces will achieve “complete silence” before moving to the negotiating table as violence escalates.

In a speech on Wednesday in the coastal city of Ashkelon, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz promised to continue taking the fight to Hamas and other Palestinian forces before any truce is reached.

“In Gaza, towers are falling, factories are collapsing, tunnels are being wiped out and commanders are being assassinated. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) will continue to strike and bring complete silence for the long term,” he told media in the southern city, which has been hard-hit by rockets fired from Gaza.

Gantz said that the current operation has no end date and that the IDF would carry out its duty. “We will not accept rebuke from any organization or institution about our right and duty to protect the citizens of Israel.”

The conflict between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants has rapidly escalated since the weekend after clashes broke out between police and protesters in East Jerusalem.

While the heavy-handed approach of Israeli law enforcement has attracted widespread condemnation around the world, Hamas and Palestinian militants have launched rockets into Israel and the Israeli Air Force has responded with attacks of its own.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 43 people have been killed since Monday, while Israel has reported six deaths. Several high-rise blocks in Gaza collapsed after being struck by Israel’s forces. A sizable proportion of Hamas rockets were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome defense capability, but some landed as far inside the country’s borders as Tel Aviv and Rishon Lezion.

On Wednesday, the International Criminal Court’s top prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, warned that she was keeping a close eye on developments in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. The court already opened a war crimes investigation in March concerning possible offenses committed by Israeli forces since 2014.

Sweden records 30,000 suspected side effects from Covid vaccines, with AstraZeneca’s jab linked to more than half of all reports

An official tally of suspected side effects resulting from Covid vaccination in Sweden has surpassed 30,000, with the majority of cases occurring in people inoculated with AstraZeneca’s shot.

According to the Swedish Medical Products Agency, as of last week, the Scandinavian nation had received 31,844 reports of adverse reactions linked to the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines. Sweden is currently offering three variants of the drug. There are currently 2,103 reports of side effects from the Moderna shot, while the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been associated with 9,117 health issues. But the number of suspected adverse reactions from the two shots seems relatively small when compared to the 19,961 reports linked to AstraZeneca’s Vaxzevria.

The most common side effects for all three drugs were fever and headache. Other reported adverse reactions included nausea, joint pain, and dizziness.

Notably, the AstraZeneca shot only accounts for about 26% of the roughly 2.7 million vaccines that have been administered so far in Sweden, but makes up around 63% of the side effects reports.

Of the nearly 32,000 reports, 663 cases have been registered where it’s unclear which vaccine was administered. Two-thirds of the reports have been submitted by the general public. The agency cautioned that individual reports do not necessarily demonstrate a correlation between the medical episode and the vaccine.

Ebba Hallberg, an official with the Medical Products Agency, told Swedish media that it was unusual to receive so many reports of side effects, but noted that the figure was likely high because of public focus on the new vaccines. Healthcare providers are likely only reporting more “serious” side effects, the official theorized. Hallberg also said that it was possible that AstraZeneca was overrepresented in the data because the shot was given to many young people and healthcare workers, who are more tech-savvy and would therefore be more likely to report an issue.

According to one Swedish outlet, the agency has received more reports of suspected side effects over the past several months than it typically does over four years.

‘Alarming Uptrend’: Border Patrol Continues Intercepting Felons, Sex Offenders At US Border.

Border Patrol agents continue to apprehend criminals – including felons and sex offenders – attempting to breach the U.S. border.

The San Diego, California sector of the border is experiencing an “alarming uptrend in the apprehension of convicted sex offenders,” according to Chief Agent Aaron Heitke.

Last week, agents arrested a man who had been convicted of sex crimes in New York. “Taking him to a nearby Border Patrol station for processing, record checks revealed that the Mexican national had been previously convicted of Sexual Abuse in the 1st Degree by Forcible Compulsion,” Customs and Border Protection (CBP) notes. “The man also was a registered sex offender in New York State,” the agency added.

In Yuma, Arizona, agents intercepted an aggravated felon attempting to enter the U.S.:

Fidel Enrique Caceres-Hernandez, 38, was one of two migrants apprehended in the desert 17 miles east of the San Luis Port of Entry. Record checks conducted on the El Salvadoran national revealed he is an aggravated felon who served two years in prison in California for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse/cohabitant.

Report: Biden Energy Secretary Receives Waiver to Dump Massive Amount of Electric Bus Company Stock

Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm joined the growing list of Biden administration officials to receive ethics waivers on a potential conflict of interest regarding stock shares or a previous lobbying job, according to reports.

Environment & Energy Publishing reports, “Granholm received an Office of Government Ethics waiver that could set the stage for her to divest more than 240,000 shares in an electric bus company,” according to recently made available disclosure forms.

The certificate from the Ethics office is dated last Friday, May 7, to sell over 240,000 shares of Proterra Inc., which comes as a conflict of interest with her current position. Proterra Inc. “is one of the nation’s largest electric bus manufacturers.” The conflict of interest comes as Granholm and the Biden administration currently are “pushing to move the nation toward electric transportation.”

The report says, “certificate enables her to unload her financial stake with a deferral on any capital gains taxes” as long as the money is “reinvested into a ‘permitted property’ within 60 days.”

Reports show earlier this year, the company declared its plans to go public in a nontraditional initial public offering through a merger with a company called ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. The merger has yet to be finalized, but reports show the payday could be very profitable for stockholders, though the merger could be completed within the first half of the year.

The Energy Department spokesman told E&E News, “The form is a likely precursor of an impending sell-off, although not an indication one has occurred.” The report noted, “Granholm and Deputy Secretary David Turk are set to appear before the White House press corps this afternoon to update the country on DOE activities related to the ransomware attack on the Colonial pipeline.”

The report claimed the Secretary had been involved with the electric bus company since 2017 when she joined the company’s board of directors.

E&E News further reports, “She vowed to step down from the company and divest her financial interests within the allotted 180 days following her swearing-in.” Additionally, during her Senate confirmation process, the conflict of interest hardly came up, except for a few Republicans who mentioned the issue revolving around President Joe Biden’s virtual tour of the company’s Greenville, S.C. plant, which happened last month.

The Energy Department denied to E&E News they had any type of involvement regarding the planning of that virtual tour when complaints about the Secretary’s ties hovered over her.

‘Magic Fairy Dust’: Florida Restaurant Owner Says People Started Applying As Soon As Gov. DeSantis Nixed Unemployment Waivers For Job Search

A businessman who owns two restaurants – one in Florida and one in New York – said business is booming in the sunshine state after the state brought back the job search requirement for people receiving unemployment benefits while on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning.

“It’s just like that, magic fairy dust,” Buddy Foy Jr., owner of Chateau by the Lake, said. “Now you have to look for a job, the waiver is being removed for that search requirement for unemployment. And in the last 5 days, literally everyday it’s building to more and more.”

“We got zero phone calls in five months for jobs, we filled our jobs through referral, Steve, through our current employees. And in the last 5 days, our staff is saying ‘I can’t keep answering the phone, we have to serve customers’.”

Foy Jr., said business owners now get to “compete for labor” just as they had prior to the pandemic.

Meanwhile, business isn’t doing as well in New York, with Foy Jr., saying “business is tough” and that he’s “counting on referrals.”

“We will open New York Memorial Day Weekend and we will take reservations based on the supply of labor,” he said.

Foy Jr., recently moved to Florida, calling the move a “blessing” after New York forced him to shut down his business. Still, Foy Jr., says he understands why people don’t want to get a job when there’s no incentive.

“You make more money on your involvement at home, so I don’t blame them.”

Le Pen Denounces Migrant Taxi NGOs as Part of ‘Modern Slavery’

French populist leader Marine Le Pen denounced the activities of migrant taxi NGOs, linking them to people trafficking and modern slavery.

Le Pen made her statements on France’s national day of the abolition of the slave trade on Monday, criticising NGOs, which operate primarily in the Mediterranean Sea, for picking up migrants and transporting them to Europe.

“The trafficking of human beings organised by smugglers in the Mediterranean and encouraged under the guise of misguided humanism by NGOs funded by the European Union is part of this modern slavery,” Le Pen alleged in a statement released by her party, the National Rally.

“Slavery, as it was practised, was recognised as a crime against humanity. Its modern form and the resulting economic human trafficking is an abomination,” Le Pen said, adding that France should return to being a symbol to the world against tyranny, saying the country must fight against modern slavery.

“In particular, it requires breaking with ultraliberalism and globalism and putting the economy at the service of man, not the other way around,” she said.

Le Pen is not the first to accuse migrant taxi NGOs of being linked to people-traffickers, as such accusations have been levelled against so-called civil society groups for years.

In 2017, the Italian government released photographs that claimed to show people-smugglers directly working with a German NGO.

The following year, a former member of the security staff for a migrant taxi NGO claimed to have received death threats from far-left extremists after he had blown the whistle on activists allegedly co-operating with people-traffickers by alerting Italian authorities.

In July 2020, the German Joint Analysis and Strategy Centre for Illegal Migration (Gasim) levelled allegations of co-operation between the so-called charities and people-traffickers, saying that the criminals track the NGO vessels in the Mediterranean and send migrants to them.

The report also claimed that gangs had directly communicated with NGOs using a satellite phone in some cases.

Last week, Sea-Watch dropped off 454 migrants in Sicily, and SOS Mediterranee had delivered another 236 to the island just days before. Landings of illegal immigrants have soared in recent days.

Migrant Encounters at Southwest Border Jump 944 Percent over April 2020

The number of migrants encountered by officers and agents operating under U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the southwest border with Mexico jumped for the 11th straight month. In April, Border Patrol agents and CBP officers encountered more than 178,000 migrants — a nearly 945 percent increase over the same month in 2020.

CBP officers and Border Patrol agents encountered more than 178,000 migrants in April 2021. This represents an increase of three percent over the record spike in March and a 944 percent increase over April 2020’s reported 17,106 encounters, according to a source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection not authorized to speak publicly on the numbers.

While the number of single adults increased in April, the number of unaccompanied minors migrating from the northern triangle countries fell by 12 percent. In March, CBP law enforcement officials encountered 15,918 people under the age of 18 from the northern triangle countries. That number fell in April to 13,962 in April.

Biden Administration officials are apparently going to forego the customary press conference to announce the monthly figures, the source told Breitbart Texas. Instead, they will release the information via a press release and website update. No explanation was provided as to why reporters would not be able to question officials on the report.

In April 2020, CBP encounters fell to an astonishingly low 17,106 migrants as President Donald Trump implemented multiple policies that dropped the illegal border crossings by more than 80 percent. The just over 17,000 migrants apprehended in April 2020 fell from 109,415 during the same month in 2019.

The press release will also reportedly address the number of migrant rescues along the southwest border and the impact of COVID-19 on Border Patrol agents and other CBP employees as the spiking number of untested migrants continue to flood into the U.S. in the highest numbers in 20 years.

10 Things We Have Learned During the Covid Coup

1 Our political system is hopelessly corrupt. Virtually all politicians are hopelessly corrupt. No political party can be trusted. They all can be, and have been, bought.

2 Democracy is a sham. It has been a sham for a very long time. There will never be any real democracy when money and power amount to the same thing.

3 The system will stop at nothing to hold on to its power and, if possible, increase its levels of control and exploitation. It has no scruples. No lie is too outrageous, no hypocrisy too nauseating, no human sacrifice too great.

4 So-called radical movements are usually nothing of the sort. From whatever direction they claim to attack the system, they are just pretending to do so, and serve to channel discontent in directions which are harmless to the power clique and even useful to its agendas.

5 Any “dissident” voice you have ever heard of through corporate media is probably a fake. The system does not hand out free publicity to its actual enemies.

6 Most people in our society are cowards. They will jettison all the fine values and principles which they have been loudly boasting about all their lives merely to avoid the slightest chance of public criticism, inconvenience or even minor financial loss.

7 The mainstream media is nothing but a propaganda machine for the system and those journalists who work for it have sold their sorry souls, placing their (often minimal) writing skills entirely at the disposition of Power.

8 Police are not servants of the public but servants of a powerful and extremely wealthy minority which seeks to control and exploit the public for its own narrow and greedy interests.

9 Scientists cannot be trusted. They will use the hypnotic power of their white coats and authoritative status for the benefit of whoever funds their work and lifestyle. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

10 Progress is a misleading illusion. The “progress” of increasing automisation and industrialisation does not go hand in hand with a progress in the quality of human life, but in fact will “progressively” reduce it to the point of complete extinction.

Instagram & Twitter apologize for ‘system errors’ that deleted pro-Palestine posts, but critics say they are still ‘censoring’

Days after Instagram and Twitter blamed “system errors” for deleted posts on unrest in Jerusalem, a coalition of civil society groups and digital rights activists have accused them of continuing to “censor” Palestinian content.

Palestinians facing eviction from occupied East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood have taken to social media to protest. Since last week, reports have emerged of some posts, photos and videos being removed and accounts being blocked for reportedly violating community standards.

In a joint statement on Monday, more than 20 groups called out Facebook and Twitter for “systematically silencing users protesting” and urged them to implement “transparent and coherent content moderation policies.”

Terming the scale of the content takedowns as “egregious and pronounced,” the signatories said they were indicative of a “wider pattern of consistent censorship of Palestinian and allied voices” that has been “documented for years.”

According to Instagram and Twitter, the accounts were “suspended in error by our automated systems.” A Reuters report stated that both platforms had apologized and claimed “the issue had been resolved and content reinstated.”

In a statement on Friday, Instagram said that an automated update last week had caused content that was reshared by multiple users to appear “as missing,” which impacted “tens of millions of stories,” including posts on Sheikh Jarrah and other troubled areas.

Is ocean acidification another climate change HOAX? Scientists blow the whistle on massive, coordinated data manipulation and FRAUD

The “last refuge of the climate scoundrels,” to quote a friend of Australian physicist Dr. Peter Ridd, is “ocean acidification,” a global warming conspiracy theory that appears to be the latest hoax of the climate change cult.

Despite dozens of published papers claiming that ocean acidification is real, a group of whistleblowers has come forward to request a misconduct investigation into the legitimacy of this questionable research.

At least 22 different research papers may contain manipulated data, and two – one published in the journal Science and the other in Nature Climate Change – for sure do.

Other similar papers also rely on data that suggests “statistically impossible” behavioral effects from carbon dioxide (CO2) on ocean acidity levels. All of this points to major fraud.

“The papers’ two main authors emphatically deny making up data, and James Cook University, Townsville, in Australia has dismissed the fabrication allegations against one of them after a preliminary investigation,” Science Magazine reported.

“But multiple independent scientists and data experts who reviewed the case flagged what they said were serious problems in the two data sets, as well as in two additional ones co-authored by one of the accused scientists.”

What is perhaps more disturbing than the potential data fraud involved is the fact that so-called “reputable” scientific journals published it in the first place. What does this say about the integrity of the established scientific community?

“The case isn’t just about data and the future of the oceans,” Science Magazine further explains about the situation.

“It highlights issues in the sociology, psychology, and politics of science, including pressure on researchers to publish in top-tier journals, the journals’ thirst for eye-catching and alarming findings, and the risks involved in whistleblowing.”

Climate fanatics grasping at anything to keep global warming conspiracy theory alive

Philip Munday is one of the ringleaders of the ocean acidification movement. He participated in a Zoom meeting back in December with more than 70 colleagues and students during which he discussed the “evidence” proving his theory is real.

Munday has co-authored more than 250 papers and created something of a marine biology mecca in Townsville where climate fanatics come to learn more about how CO2 is supposedly destroying the planet.

Munday and biologist Danielle Dixson first started publishing their research on ocean acidification back in 2009. Their claim is that CO2 and other greenhouse gases are killing fish and destroying ocean ecosystems.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) agrees with their assessment, having stated back in a 2014 report that ocean acidification could have “profound consequences for marine diversity” and fisheries.

The IPCC, by the way, has suggested in the past that “chemtrailing” the skies with particulates – a process it calls solar geoengineering – may help to dull the sun and cool the planet.

Gaza Death Toll Mounts, 65 Dead, Including 15 Children

Netanyahu said Israel will step up the 'might and frequency' of its bombings

Israel continued its bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip through Tuesday and into Wednesday morning as the death toll continues to mount. Gaza’s health ministry said on Wednesday that so far, at least 65 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes, including 15 children.

Israel started bombing Gaza on Monday, which was framed as retaliation for rocket fire from Gaza that did minimal damage. After the first series of Israeli airstrikes targeted residential neighborhoods and killed 20 Palestinians, including 10 children, the rocket fire out of Gaza has stepped up. According to Haaretz, at least five Israelis have been killed.

The initial rocket attacks from Gaza were a response to violence against Palestinian protesters in occupied East Jerusalem who are demonstrating against planned evictions of Palestinian families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood that will make way for Jewish settlers. Amid the chaos, Israeli police stormed al-Aqsa mosque and fired rubber bullets and tear gas, wounding hundreds of Palestinians.

Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday targeted a 13-story residential building in Gaza. The building’s residents were reportedly evacuated before the strike, and Hamas responded by firing rockets towards Tel Aviv.

Israel shows no signs of seeking a de-escalation of the situation. The Jerusalem Post quoted an unnamed Israeli official who said Israel is not ready for a ceasefire. “There will be a ceasefire when we’re ready for it,” the official said. A report from Israel’s Channel 12 News said Israel declined an offer from Egypt to negotiate a ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel will step up the “might and frequency” of the attacks on Gaza. “We are in the midst of a campaign,” he said. “Since yesterday, the IDF has carried out hundreds of attacks on Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. We have taken out commanders, attacked a large number of their high-quality targets. It was concluded that we will increase both the might and the frequency of the attacks.”

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz also said Israel will continue bombing Gaza. “The purpose of the operation is to strike Hamas hard, to weaken it and to make it regret its decision,” he said. “Every bomb has an address. We will continue this in both the coming hours and the coming days. It’s hard to estimate how long it will take.”

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said the military is launching a major offensive in Gaza using about 80 fighter jets, including F-35s. The IDF has named the offensive “Operation Guardian of the Walls.”

Over in the US, Biden administration officials have condemned rocket attacks coming out of Gaza, called for a de-escalation, but have failed to denounce or even mildly criticize the Israeli airstrikes that killed Palestinian children.

Pakistan Rules Out Hosting US Military After Afghanistan Withdrawal

The US wants to move forces leaving Afghanistan to neighboring countries

Since President Biden ordered the withdrawal of combat troops from Afghanistan, US military officials have been hoping to reposition forces in neighboring countries. On Tuesday, Pakistan ruled out the possibility that it would be used as a base for US operations in Afghanistan or any other US wars.

Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Pakistan has adopted a policy that allows it to become “only partners in peace” and not join any future US war.

“No sir, we do not intend to allow boots on the ground and no [US] bases are being transferred to Pakistan,” Qureshi said when asked if Islamabad is under pressure to host US troops.

US officials have said they are considering repositioning forces leaving Afghanistan into Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, or Uzbekistan, but Washington has no basing agreements with these Central Asian countries.

“We will look at all the countries in the region, our diplomats will reach out, and we’ll talk about places where we could base those resources,” Gen. Frank McKenzie, the head of US Central Commands, told Congress in April. McKenzie said it would be “harder” but “not impossible” to bomb Afghanistan after the withdrawal.

The US plans to continue supporting the Afghan military financially and is considering training the Afghan forces in other countries.

President Biden has ordered all combat troops to leave Afghanistan by September 11th. On Tuesday, CENTCOM said the withdrawal was about six to 12 percent complete.

3 US Army Soldiers Accused of Illegally Selling Weapons Used in Chicago Shootings

CHICAGO – Three U.S. Army soldiers are accused of conspiring to buy firearms in Tennessee and illegally sell them in Chicago, where the weapons were traced to at least one mass shooting and other gun attacks, according to a criminal complaint filed this week.

Demarcus Adams, 21, Jarius Brunson, 22, and Brandon Miller, 22, members stationed at Fort Campbell in Clarksville, Tennessee, are charged with multiple offenses, including wire fraud, transferring a firearm to an out-of-state resident, money laundering, conspiracy and other gun-related counts.

The federal investigation began when Chicago police recovered firearms after a shooting that killed one man and injured seven people just after midnight on March 26 on the Southwest Side. At least two people opened fire at a gathering in the 2500 block of West 79th Street.

Of the weapons recovered at the scene, five were found to have been purchased from dealers in the Clarksville area by Adams, Brunson, Miller and a fourth man who has not been charged, the complaint said.

Federal agents determined that the three soldiers bought about 91 firearms from Tennessee and Kentucky between September and April, according to the complaint, filed Monday.

On April 28, Chicago police and federal agents interviewed Adams, who said that he and his roommate, Miller, would go to gun shops in the area, and Miller would send him money to purchase weapons. Adams said he believed Miller was selling the firearms on the street in Chicago.

Agents searched the men's cellphones and found conversations between Adams, Miller and Brunson about the firearms purchases, the complaint alleges.

When discussing a trip to buy guns, Miller messaged Adams, "Naw but u got zelle?" referring to a cash transfer service.

"Nahh just ApplePay and the Cashapp," Adams responded, according to the complaint.

Miller then responded: "What time you off im about to cashapp you I need you to grab 3 guns the cheapest 17's 19's."

Agents examined messages between Miller and Brunson, and found photographs of firearms along with haggling over prices, according to the complaint.

Brunson sent Miller photos of two weapons, and Miller responded, "I got you like $1200 for both em." Brunson replied, "1300?"

And Miller sent back: "I think 1250 max but that's a steal."

Ukrainian President Doesn’t Rule Out New World War in Conflict With Russia

Addressing a security forum in Kiev today, where he also identified NATO membership as a national priority, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was cited by the UNIAN news site as not ruling out a “new world war” in the event of what he identified as a full-scale escalation of tensions by Russia.

Asked by a reporter whether he anticipated a Russian attack not only from the Donetsk and Lugansk republics in the Donbass but also from Crimea and Belarus in September – it’s not clear from where this intelligence emanated – Zelensky responded in the sort of civics-class textbook manner characteristic of him (and with an eye to the history books) with: “Are we ready? We are, as a whole, a country with a very strong and courageous military.”

And though he was forced to concede that Russia had “de-escalated” the situation last month, nevertheless he added, “No one can guarantee anything here, because no one expected such steps from the Russian Federation in 2014, so no one can guarantee anything [now].”

In a confused jumble of an assurance that war with Russia will not occur – at least in September (of all months, unless it’s a veiled allusion to Germany’s invasion of Poland on the first of that month in 1939) – and the horrors of what would confront the world if it did, he said this:

“Are we ready, is the world ready, is Europe ready for a full-scale war? I think no one is ready. Absolutely. If this happens….I think Russia cannot go for this….I am sure we feel it now – both by the signals that we get and the work that we have done, diplomatically, by the support of Ukraine’s independence by Europe and the United States. [Otherwise,] I think it could be a world war.”

There is one point of clarity here; Zelensky has just told his NATO sponsors that if they don’t support him and his military there may well be a world war. What in the vernacular of salesmen and con artists is known as highballing.

The same approach was attempted today by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba who, in an interview with the Ukraine 24 channel in which while on the surface seeming to relinquish hope of his nation being granted a NATO Membership Action Program at next month’s summit in Brussels, used this ploy to both alert and embarrass the U.S. and the military bloc it dominates:

“Regarding the obstacles, unfortunately, there are still several countries among the allies who are guided by the logic of not provoking Russia and believe that sitting and doing nothing is the best way to keep Russia calm.”

As though he were speaking of the 1938 Munich Agreement. Surely Joe Biden and Jens Stoltenberg don’t want to enter the shortsighted and shameful ranks of Neville Chamberlain and Édouard Daladier.

The world war allusions, first evoked by Ukraine’s first president last month, are multiplying at an alarming rate.

Ex-Pentagon chief, House Democrat clash during Capitol attack hearing: 'You're ridiculous'

Former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller clashed with Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) on Wednesday over former President Trump’s culpability in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack after the ex-Pentagon chief appeared to walk back previous comments blaming Trump.

At a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing, Lynch asked Miller whether the attack would have happened without Trump’s speech at a rally that preceded the breach, noting comments Miller made to Vice in March blaming Trump.

“I think I’d like to modify my original assessment,” Miller said.

“Why am I not surprised,” Lynch interjected, laughing.

Arguing that “we are getting more information by the day, by the minute, about what happened,” Miller said it now “seems clear that there was some sort of conspiracy where there were organized assault elements that intended to assault the Capitol that day.”

Later in the exchange, when Lynch accused Miller of reversing his stance, Miller replied, “that’s ridiculous.”

“You’re ridiculous,” Lynch shot back.

“Thank you for your thoughts,” Miller responded.

Miller was offering his first congressional testimony defending the Pentagon’s response on Jan. 6 amid lingering questions about delays in deploying the National Guard as pro-Trump rioters breached the building while lawmakers were certifying President Biden’s victory in the November election.

During the interview with Vice in March, Miller said he did not believe anyone would have marched on the Capitol without Trump’s speech beforehand, in which he encouraged supporters to “fight like hell” and head to the Capitol.

“Would anybody have marched on the Capitol, and tried to overrun the Capitol, without the president’s speech? I think it’s pretty much definitive that wouldn’t have happened,” Miller said in the interview.

In written testimony for Wednesday’s hearing, Miller similarly said, “I stand by my prior observation that I personally believe his comments encouraged the protestors that day,” though he added that “I am not in a position to make an official assessment of his responsibility.”

Miller did not include those comments in his oral opening statement Wednesday, but under Lynch’s questioning, said Trump “clearly offered that they should march on the Capitol, so it goes without saying that his statement resulted in that.”

Citing the comments to Vice and the written testimony, Lynch characterized Miller’s answers to him Wednesday as “not believable.”

US Troops Photographed in Somalia After Biden Administration Said Withdrawal Occurred

Photos emerge as Biden admin plots Afghan withdrawal

American soldiers posed for photos last week with a Somali leader after the Biden administration said it had withdrawn U.S. forces from the war-torn country.

Jubaland president Ahmed Madobe posted photos showing him flanked by three U.S. troops on May 4. The caption identifies the soldiers as members of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) deployed in the state, which is in the southern tip of Somalia.

"Met with US forces operating in Jubaland under @USAfricaCommand to discuss ways to inhance [sic] the fight against Al-shabaab," Madobe wrote.

AFRICOM announced the completed withdrawal of military personnel in January per a Trump administration order. In February, a visit from U.S. troops to Somalia reaffirmed the withdrawal, but AFRICOM special operations commander Dagvin Anderson said U.S. forces "remain committed to our Somali and regional partners."

Department of Defense spokeswoman Cindi King told the Washington Free Beacon that even though U.S. troops withdrew from Somalia, counterterrorism missions will continue.

"While U.S. force posture changed, U.S. policy did not, and our counterterrorism operation against threats have continued," King said. "We will continue helping our partners strengthen defensive capabilities to counter shared threats in order to create opportunities for political and economic development."

The Defense Department did not specify how many troops remain in Somalia, nor would it provide details about the troops pictured in the tweet.

AFRICOM did not respond to a request for comment.

In April, the Biden administration said it was reviewing whether it would reverse the Trump administration’s order to withdraw. In a Senate hearing, AFRICOM commander General Stephen Townsend said although the military withdrew its fighting force from Somalia, a contingent of roughly 100 personnel remain to do embassy work in Mogadishu, some 300 miles from Jubaland.

American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Michael Rubin told the Free Beacon the photo shows the Biden administration has either stealthily changed policy or the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Somalia was never completed in the first place.

"Either that wasn't true or Biden has very quietly brought them back in," he said.

The potentially conflicting accounts over troop withdrawal in Somalia come as the Biden administration aims to bring home thousands of U.S. military personnel from Afghanistan. The White House committed to a full removal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11.

Somalia is plagued by a litany of security and human rights issues. Lawmakers and former administration officials told the Free Beacon the Somalia problem looms large for the White House as it sets its priorities in Africa.

Judge orders IRS to reveal if it criminally investigated Clinton Foundation, citing records 'gap'

Tax court refuses to dismiss whistleblowers' case involving famous political family charity, remands case back to agency to fill in blanks.

A U.S. Tax Court judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to reveal if it criminally investigated the Clinton Foundation, directing the agency to cure a mysterious "gap" in its records in the case.

Most of the proceedings in the case involving the Clinton Foundation and the whistleblowers Lawrence W. Doyle and John F. Moynihan have been sealed, but U.S. Tax Court Judge David Gustafson authorized the release of an April 22 ruling to Just the News this week.

In it, Gustafson remanded the case back to the IRS Whistleblower Office (WO), saying the agency's claim there was no criminal investigation against the Clinton Foundation "was not supported by the administrative record and thus constituted an abuse of discretion."

"The WO must further investigate to determine whether CI [criminal investigative division] proceeded with an investigation based on petitioners' information and collected proceeds," the judge ruled. "… It seems clear we should remand the case to the WO so that it can explore this gap."

Lawrence W. Doyle 088.pdf

While ordering the IRS to reveal whether the Clinton Foundation was criminally investigated, the judge declined the whistleblowers' request to take an Arkansas state official's deposition or compel discovery in the case, saying such actions were "outside the scope of proper discovery."

"Petitioners evidently look forward to a trial in which they hope to prove wrongdoing and tax evasion by the target entities and to prove dereliction of duty by the IRS," he added. "There will be no such trial in this case."

Gustafson's ruling, nonetheless, adds a new chapter of intrigue in a case that first surfaced three years ago when Doyle and Moynihan, two respected forensic financial investigators, revealed the existence of their IRS whistleblower complaint against the Clinton Foundation during a congressional hearing.

Moynihan and Doyle testified to a House committee in December 2018 that the Foundation wrongly operated as a foreign lobbyist by accepting overseas donations and then trying to influence U.S. policy.

The foundation "began acting as an agent of foreign governments early in its life and throughout its existence," Moynihan testified at the time. "As such, the foundation should've registered under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act). Ultimately, the Foundation and its auditors conceded in formal submissions that it did operate as a (foreign) agent, therefore the foundation is not entitled to its 501c3 tax-exempt privileges as outlined in IRS 170 (c)2."

ICE Nominee Worked With BLM to Push False Claim That White Man Murdered 7-Year-Old Black Girl

The Texas sheriff nominated to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement pushed a false claim that a white man murdered a seven-year-old black girl from Houston, even after receiving a tip that the actual killers were black.

Ed Gonzalez, the Harris County sheriff and the Biden administration's choice for ICE director, worked closely with Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King to identify Jazmine Barnes's killer. Gonzalez amplified the family's claim that the gunman was white even after he received a tip that Barnes's killers were black. An attorney for the man King falsely identified as the shooter said King's allegation might have contributed to his client's suicide.

Gonzalez is likely to face scrutiny from Republicans for scaling back cooperation with the federal government on deportations early in the Trump administration. This year, he proposed releasing 1,500 county jail inmates, hundreds of whom faced charges for violent crimes. King is a controversial figure who has come under fire for making false allegations in racially charged incidents.

Jazmine Barnes was gunned down in the back seat of her mother's car on Dec. 30, 2018. On the day of the shooting, Gonzalez said on Twitter that Barnes's family described the gunman as a white male in his 40s. He released a police sketch of a suspect matching that description on Jan. 3, 2019.

A timeline of the investigation shows that King received a tip that Barnes's killers were black later that day. King said that he shared the tip "immediately" with Gonzalez but that they "could not just make sense of it." But Gonzalez, who has been sheriff of Harris County since 2017, told a reporter that King shared the tip that led to the arrest of the real killers, Eric Black, Jr., and Larry Woodruffe, with him "midweek." He continued circulating the incorrect police sketch on social media for two more days.

The Barnes murder became a national media sensation after Gonzalez, King, and others trumpeted the girl's mother's belief that the shooting was racially motivated. Attorney Lee Merritt, who represented Barnes's family, leveled a hate crime allegation during a Jan. 3, 2019, press conference he held with Gonzalez.

"We believe it was racially motivated in part because our nation at this moment is a highly racially charged society. We've seen a rise in hate crime," Merritt said.

Gonzalez stopped short of saying the shooting was a hate crime, though he said it could "potentially be race related."

Gonzalez later acknowledged that he received a tip that same day from King that Barnes's killers were Black and Woodruffe, both of whom are black.

Black and Woodruffe were arrested on Jan. 6, 2019, and charged with capital murder.

King pushed the false narrative of a white killer even after he acknowledged receiving a tip about Black and Woodruffe.

In a now-deleted Jan. 4 tweet, King falsely identified Robert Cantrell as a potential suspect in the shooting. He said that Cantrell had been arrested on unrelated charges hours after Barnes was killed. King posted a mug shot of Cantrell from that arrest and said the man was known to be "violent" and "racist."

Facebook ‘Fact Checks’ Scientific Piece Arguing Coronavirus Originated in Chinese Lab

Facebook is fact-checking posts that claim the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab, a theory gaining traction in the scientific community—particularly after science reporter Nicholas Wade published a piece on Medium last week explaining why he believes the lab-leak theory is the most likely explanation.

Facebook is warning users that articles describing evidence for the theory are "Missing Context" and is steering them to a 2020 fact-check saying there is little evidence for a non-natural origin of the virus. Wade’s story is accompanied on Facebook by a link to an April 2020 fact-check. The fact-check, which is riddled with grammatical errors, quotes two academic articles and five scientists on Twitter who believe the theory is false. Reached for comment, a spokesperson directed the Washington Free Beacon to Facebook’s COVID policies. Those policies ban content that claims COVID was manufactured or bioengineered.

It’s the latest example of Facebook’s aggressive approach to content moderation. The lab leak hypothesis became a political flashpoint when senior Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers voiced concerns about a lab in Wuhan that worked with coronaviruses. Though mainstream media outlets called the hypothesis a conspiracy theory, the theory is gaining traction as efforts to pinpoint the virus’s natural origin founder.

Wade’s Medium piece outlining the circumstantial evidence for the lab leak hypothesis received widespread attention when it was posted on the popular blogging platform last week. Wade’s piece temporarily disappeared from the site on Tuesday afternoon, although at press time it had been restored. Medium did not respond to requests for comment. Medium’s rules on COVID-19 content explicitly ban "conspiracy claims" that COVID was "engineered in a lab." They also ban references to COVID as a "far-reaching conspiracy or cover-up."

Facebook acknowledges its practice of limiting the reach of content that it finds objectionable, including content its fact-checkers label False or Partly False. Facebook did not respond to requests for comment on whether it artificially limits the reach content it labels as "Missing Context." An examination of accounts that had posted the article showed significantly lower engagement with the story than with other stories posted in the same time period.

In its recent ruling on former president Donald Trump’s ban from the platform, Facebook’s Oversight Board endorsed the use of downranking to avoid "amplifying speech" that doesn’t meet its standards.

Scientists and intelligence agencies are still investigating the origins of the virus. No one has managed to disprove theories saying the virus originated in a Chinese lab, yet companies like Facebook and Medium are attempting to limit debate. Facebook previously limited the reach of a New York Post report on Hunter Biden, which the platform falsely labeled as "misinformation."

Antrim County Audit Attorney Finds Audit Trail Logs Intentionally Scrubbed to Eliminate Evidence of Fraudulent Electronic Manipulation of Election Outcome

A very interesting article and interview appears today that warrants everyone’s attention. In Michigan the lawsuit against Antrim County election officials continues. The lead attorney Matthew DePerno continues putting the evidence into the public and court record.

What the evidence shows is an intentional manipulation of the ballot counting systems that shifted votes from Trump to Biden, then the system was scrubbed of log-in details so the people who did the shifts would not be identified.

JD Rucker – “DePerno claims they found MySQL database management software on the tabulation machines in Antrim County. This is significant for a couple of reasons. First, it’s not supposed to be there, which means someone intentionally put it there. Second, it can be used to manipulate the database and make changes to results.”

“It is not a certified program on that system,” he said. “And you can use that system to manipulate the votes. You can use that system to go right into the Election Management System database and do whatever you want.” What DePerno revealed in less than three minutes of this 46-minute interview should be enough to prompt a full-blown investigation, let alone a comprehensive audit. The dots simply connect too perfectly to be coincidence.”

“The challenge with all of this is that there would be logs. Whoever connected the laptop to the system would have their user profile logged as the originator. Moreover, logs would show the changes made to the database, therefore it would be easy to catch the culprits if indeed there were some. But there’s a problem with that. As we covered in December with pertinent information highlighted: Forensic audit finds that security log files were deleted from all Dominion machines to hide vote switching ” (READ MORE)

In Video: Russia Forces Blew Up Large ISIS Bunker In Central Syria

Russian forces have uncovered and destroyed a large underground bunker of ISIS cells in central Syria, the Zvezda TV reported on May 11.

The bunker, located near the ancient city of Palmyra in eastern Homs, was blown up by Russian military engineer and Syrian soldiers. A total of 2,5 tons of TNT were used to completely destroy the large underground structure.

According to Zvezda, the bunker was equipped with ventilation and drainage systems as well as depots for weapons and fuel. It had two exits to different slopes of the mountain and rooms with monitors, where middle-level leaders of ISIS possibly lived.

“During the inspection of the cave, foreign-made weapons and ammunition used by militants were found including American-made weapons, an M-60 machine gun, two M-16 rifles as well as 7.62 and 5.56 mm caliber ammunition for them,” said a representative of the Russian Armed Forces grouping in Syria.

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies, including Russian forces, have been operating nonstop against ISIS cells in central Syria for a few months now. 338 terrorists have been eliminated since April 23 only.

Recently, the Analytical Network News Agency, ANNA, shared a number of photos showing terrorists killed in central Syria by the al-Quds Brigade. The Palestinian-led group has been operating against ISIS cells for well over a year.

Freed Traitor Jonathan Pollard Calls Biden Admin An 'Enemy' That Must Be Destroyed In Keynote Speech

"What we're talking about is Amalek, pure and simple," Pollard said in keynote speech at Jerusalem Day gala.

Jonathan Pollard on Monday delivered a keynote speech at a prominent yeshiva in Israel as part of a Jerusalem Day gala where he called for the Biden administration and officials in the State Department to be destroyed for being insufficiently pro-Israel.

Pollard, a US-born Jewish-American Naval intelligence analyst who stole massive troves of US military secrets and sold them to Israel, was released from prison in 2015 by President Obama to soften the blow of the Iran nuclear deal but insisted he not be allowed to travel to Israel.

In late 2020, Attorney General William Barr's Department of Justice quietly ended Pollard's parole to allow him to "make aliyah" in Israel.

Pollard was swiftly flown to Israel on billionaire pro-Israel GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson's private plane and given a hero's welcome by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in addition to Israeli citizenship and a pension reserved for ex-Mossad and Shin Bet agents.

On Monday, Pollard delivered the keynote address at the annual Jerusalem Day gala at Mercaz Harav Yeshiva "the most prominent yeshiva in the religious Zionist world" and called for America's leadership to be destroyed.

https://youtu.be/hMoXQQigUNE

From The Times of Israel, "Pollard: 'Jew-hatred' a foundational belief of 'Amalek' Biden administration":

[Jonathan Pollard] began by reflecting on the recent murder of 19-year-old Yehuda Guetta in a terror shooting attack at a West Bank junction.

"The murderer was the manifestation of the oldest hatred, more lethal than the deadliest disease known to man – Jew-hatred. Cold-blooded anti-Semitism," he said, speaking in English. "It's the foundational belief of our so-called peace partners up the road in Ramallah [the Palestinian Authority], our avowed enemies in Gaza and many of the woke bureaucrats and officials that staff the current Biden administration."

"What we're talking about is Amalek, pure and simple," he said, equating the Biden administration and the Palestinian leadership with the biblical archenemy of the Israelites.

This is a call for the Biden admin's total destruction.

"The bottom line on this charge of dual loyalty is, I'm sorry, we're Jews, and if we're Jews, we will always have dual loyalty," Pollard said.

Loses power starts a war

'This is Only the Beginning': Netanyahu Vows to 'Inflict Blows That Hamas Has Not Dreamt Of'

The first retaliation by Tel Aviv against Hamas' overnight rocket barrage has killed several top military commanders of the Palestinian group.

During his visit to a hospital treating those wounded in 11 May’s overnight rocket strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Hamas would face even more retaliatory blows by Israeli forces.

"This is just the beginning! We'll deliver [Hamas] blows they haven't dreamt of", Netanyahu said.

The prime minister's warnings come as Hamas admitted that several of its top military commanders were killed in Israeli strikes carried out in response to a massive rocket attack on Tel Aviv and other cities in Israel that left five people dead and 200 injured. The IDF's retaliatory strikes, in turn, killed 43 Palestinians and injured 300 more.

Israel's internal security service, Shin Bet, claims that Hamas' military chief in Gaza City, Bassem Issa, head of the cyber command, Jumaa Tahle, head of research and munitions, Jamal Zibde, and chief production engineer, Hazem Hatib were among those killed in the Israeli airstrikes. Hamas has only confirmed the death of Bassem Issa, leaving Shin Bet’s other claims without comment.

Overnight Rocket Barrage Hits Tel Aviv

Gaza-based militants, including Hamas, launched around 1,000 rockets towards Israel on the night between 11 and 12 May, making it the single biggest attack on the Jewish state this year. While Israel’s Iron Dome air defences intercepted most of the projectiles, some of the rockets still made it through, damaging buildings, vehicles, and killing five people.

Hamas’ attacks came amid escalating tensions between Palestinians and Israelis in Jerusalem and other cities in the Jewish state. They started nearly a month ago, after police in Jerusalem imposed restrictions on the ability of Palestinians to visit sites of religious significance amid the month of Ramadan, including the al-Aqsa Mosque. The Israeli Supreme Court's anticipated decision on the eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem has only added fuel to the fire.

Frank Luntz’s BFF Kevin McCarthy After Cheney Ousted: “I Don’t Think Anybody is Questioning the Legitimacy of the Election… It’s Over With”

House Republicans met earlier Wednesday to vote to remove Liz Cheney from her leadership position.

Cheney was the third-ranking Republican in the House GOP Caucus.

Bitter Liz Cheney lashed out at Trump and his voter base which happens to be well over 80 million Americans.

“I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” Cheney said after getting booted from her leadership position.

Cheney attacked President Trump for his continued belief the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him and she threw a barb at McCarthy for “not standing up for the rule of law and for allowing democracy to be undermined.”

McCarthy was quick to appease Cheney and entertain her assertion that the 2020 election was free and fair.

Hours after Liz Cheney was booted from GOP conference chair, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says this gem:

“I don’t think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election. That’s all over with. We are sitting here with the president today,” Frank Luntz’s BFF McCarthy said.

The overwhelming majority of Republican voters believe the 2020 election was stolen through a massive Democrat vote fraud operation.

So why is McCarthy so out of touch with the GOP base?

Earlier this month Fox News host Tucker Carlson dropped a bombshell on the GOP establishment and revealed GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy was renting a room from liberal pollster Frank Luntz.

“So now you know why the Republican party listens to Frank Luntz and not you,” Tucker said.

The Recall is Working: Gavin Newsom Says California’s Mask Mandate will Almost Entirely Go Away by June 15

The recall appears to be working.

Embattled Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) was spotted this week cleaning up trash along the 110 freeway in Los Angeles as a recall election to oust him looms.

More than 2 million Californians signed the petition to recall Newsom to boot him from office.

Despite what Newsom says, it’s not a vast right-wing conspiracy to oust him from office. A significant number of people who signed the recall petition are Democrats and Independents.

A Fox LA reporter confronted Newsom about his ongoing Covid mandates while he was out cleaning up trash.

Virtually every state is open for business but California is still under a strict mask mandate because of Governor Newsom.

Newsom looked defeated and weak and said virtually all Covid mandates will be lifted by June 15.

“Only in those massively large [indoor] settings where people from around the world are convening and people are mixing in real dense spaces. Otherwise…no mandates,” Newsom said. “No mandates and no restrictions on businesses large and small.”

Penn State Administrator Who Failed To Report Sandusky Sex Crimes With Minors Received $330,699 Public Pension

In 2001, Gary Schultz was Penn State’s senior vice president for finance and business when he was told that assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had sexually assaulted a boy in the school’s locker room shower.

But neither he nor any other Penn State administrators who were told about the incident reported it to law enforcement, childcare, or youth services.

Schultz was charged with perjury and failing to report to authorities allegations of sexual contact with a minor. However, he retired from Penn State and collected a $330,699 annual pension.

He plead guilty to endangering the welfare of children in March 2017, was sent to jail and released in September 2017.

Schultz was given a six-to-23-month sentence, with only the first two months in jail and the remainder on house arrest, followed by probation.

While Pennsylvania has a pension forfeiture law that strips pensions from public employees convicted of job-related crimes, Schultz’s crime fell between the cracks, allowing him to continue collecting his $330,669 yearly pension.

Sandusky is serving a 30-60-year prison sentence after his conviction on 45 counts of sexually abusing young boys from 1994 to 2009 through the charity he founded, The Second Mile, to serve Pennsylvania's underprivileged and at-risk youth.

Sandusky “retired” and received a $58,600 public pension – that continues to this day.

Day Five: Team Biden Can’t Say When Gasoline Crisis Will End

The White House struggled Wednesday to respond to the gas shortage on the East Coast of the United States, five days after the Colonial pipeline was shut down by a ransomware cyberattack.

President Joe Biden’s cabinet officials hesitated when asked when the shortage would end, punting timeline questions to Colonial, the private company in charge of the pipeline.

“I’ll defer to announcements from the company on their process,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said at the White House daily press briefing.

Buttigieg declined to confirm assertions from Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm Tuesday that the pipeline would be restored at the end of the week.

“I would emphasize that there is a lot in getting a pipeline up and running again,” he said.

The White House deployed Buttigieg and EPA Administrator Michael Regan to the press briefing to lead the messaging about handling the crisis.

But the two government officials only listed minor shuffling of government regulations to help alieve the crisis and ongoing communications and monitoring from government officials.

When asked what his message was to Americans suffering gas shortages, Buttigieg replied, “My message is that we understand these concerns.”

Buttigieg also urged Americas not to hoard gasoline.

“This is a time to be sensible and to be safe,” he said, adding, “Hoarding does not make things better, and under no circumstances should gasoline be put into anything but a vehicle directly or an approved container.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki did not say whether President Joe Biden had spoken personally to governors about the crisis but said Energy Secretary Granholm held a conference call with the governors of affected states.

Regan said the EPA would waive some fuel regulations, allowing producers to send more gasoline to affected areas, but admitted it was not enough.

“While the waiver alone will not resolve the supply situation, it will help alleviate supply shortages,” he said.

Joe Biden Says He’ll Get Infrastructure Deal with Republicans ‘Easy, Just Snap My Fingers’

President Joe Biden joked he would easily achieve an infrastructure deal with Republican members of Congress on Wednesday, during a meeting with Congressional leadership.

When asked by reporters about how compromise was achievable, Biden replied wryly, “Easy. Just snap my fingers. It will happen.”

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy at the White House Wednesday morning.

“When I ran I said I wasn’t going to be a Democratic president, I was going to be a president for all Americans,” Biden said to reporters at the beginning of the meeting.

Biden failed to mention the only major piece of signed legislation of his presidency was a coronavirus rescue plan passed with Senate Democrats and Vice President Kamala Harris voting to break the tie.

The president repeatedly voiced interest in compromising with Republicans on infrastructure but has demanded higher corporate tax rates and a dramatic increase in taxes for Americans making more than $400,000. Republicans do not want to raise any taxes.

“What the bottom line here is, we’re going to see whether we can reach some consensus on a compromise on movement forward, we’re going to talk a lot about infrastructure today,” he said.

The White House has described Biden’s “red lines” in the negotiation as “inaction” and raising taxes on people making less than $400,000.

“We’ll see if there’s any way we can reach a compromise that gets the people’s works done within the bounds of everybody agreeing,” Biden said.

Their Purpose is to DESTROY; Ignore their Stupid Excuses

Soccer was cancelled for my friend's son, 9, due to covid. Children have zero chance of contracting covid yet they are required to wear masks, social distance and remote-learn. Why?

Because our rulers believe in destroying all that is good and wholesome. The Jewish Governor of Michigan wants to cut a pipeline on which Eastern Canada depends. Why? It's not an "environmental hazard." Communists want to destroy the Canadian economy. Feminism isn't about "gender equality." It is about destroying the nuclear family. Cancel culture isn't about "diversity;" it's about destroying Christian civilization.

Humanity is controlled by a satanic cult, the Illuminati. The #scamdemic lockdowns are inspired by the satanic doctrine of "Creative Destruction" found in Cabalist Judaism & Freemasonry.

At its basis is the destruction of the old order which was dedicated to fulfilling God's Will, through a "great reset" which will see a New World Order dedicated to serving Satan and his minions. Hell on Earth. Satanism.

It's time to stop debating their pretexts and focus on the OCCULT nature of the challenge we face. Humanity suffers from a debilitating cancer. Our blood supply (the banking system) is controlled by Satanist Jews and Freemasons. They have leveraged their control over our government credit to subvert every social institution: government, media, education, religion, medicine, law. Communism is the control of every facet of human life.

In The Controversy of Zion, Douglas Reed writes, "The Protocols [of the Elders of Zion] elevate the theory of destruction to this status of "a fundamental truth, a primary or basic law, a governing law of conduct'…

In many passages, the Protocols appear, at first sight, to recommend destruction as a thing virtuous in itself, and consequently justifying all the methods explicitly recommended to promote it (bribery, blackmail, corruption, subversion, sedition, mob incitement, terror, and violence) which thus become virtuous too." (p. 211)

Think Antifa & BLM. Think Demonrats.

Leading Doctors: Governments Are ‘Scrubbing Unprecedented Numbers’ of Vaccine-Related Deaths

ever before in history has there been a globalized campaign to vaccinate the world’s population, followed by an unprecedented drive to censor, deplatform and discredit anyone who dares to criticize the roll-out of the current range of unlicensed, experimental corporate COVID-19 vaccines and mRNA gene therapy jabs. However, some leading doctors are finally beginning to speak out on this crucial issue, and what they are describing is shocking tale of government and corporate corruption and cover-ups.

One of the world’s most prominent medical doctors with expertise in treating COVID-19 has gone on the record with a scathing rebuke of the U.S. government’s approach to fighting the virus. He says the government’s strategy, carried out in cooperation with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the United Nations World Health Organization, has resulted in tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths and is now being followed up with thousands more deaths caused by a mass-injection program.

Dr. Peter McCullough, in a 32-minute interview with journalist Alex Newman, said if this were any other vaccine it would have been pulled from the market by now for safety reasons.

McCullough holds the honor of being the most cited medical doctor on COVID-19 treatments at the National Library of Medicine, with more than 600 citations. He has testified before Congress and won numerous awards during his distinguished medical career.

Urgent: D.C. Parents, Take Action to Protect Children from Being Vaccinated Without Parental Consent

Children’s Health Defense is seeking plaintiffs with legal standing in order to file a lawsuit to stop District of Columbia schools from vaccinating children without their parents’ knowledge or informed consent.

***

Children’s Health Defense and Parental Rights Foundation are preparing to jointly file a lawsuit challenging the D.C. Minor Consent for Vaccinations Amendment Act of 2020 as unconstitutional.

The recently enacted law allows children 11 and older to receive vaccinations at school without the knowledge or consent of a parent. Under the new law, even if the parent has previously submitted a written religious exemption statement, school officials may secretly administer vaccines to the child against the parents’ written directive.

Immediate legal action is necessary to protect children and parental rights, especially now that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 12 and older.

On May 12, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the CDC recommended childhood vaccine schedule. Once this occurs, D.C. public health officials will be able to immediately vaccinate children with the COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines against their parents’ wishes.

If a child is injured by a vaccine, the pharmaceutical industry and the school system will be shielded from liability.

In order for Children’s Health Defense and Parental Rights Foundation to file a lawsuit to stop the administration of vaccinations to children without the parents’ knowledge or informed consent, we must find plaintiffs with legal standing now.

To be a plaintiff in a case challenging the new law, the parent and child must meet the following requirements:

The parent and child must be residents of the District of Columbia.

The child must be between the ages of 11 and 18.

The child must be eligible for enrollment in school in the District of Columbia.

The child’s school may be public or private.

If you and your child meet these requirements and you wish to stand up for your constitutional rights and liberty, please use the form here to contact Children’s Health Defense.
