MORE VIDEO SURFACES of Capitol Police Waving Protesters Inside, Moving Barricades Aside, Standing By as Protesters Walk In

American Greatness published video on Sunday that directly contradicts government prosecutors’s claims filed against at least one protester in the January 6 “riots” at the US Capitol.

The new video reveals that police invited several protesters into the US Capitol that day. Several of these same protesters were later charged by overzealous prosecutors and smeared by the press.

Julie Kelly at American Greatness reported:

Another video shows a Capitol Police officer directing protesters inside the US Capitol to the Senate Chambers.

And Mo Brooks was warned about Antifa attacks the day before Jan. 6 protests and Capitol riot.

Canadian Court Rules Iran Deliberately Shot Down Ukrainian Jet

TORONTO (Sputnik) - Iran deliberately shot down Ukrainian International Airlines flight 752, making the incident an act of terrorism under the Criminal Code of Canada, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled.

Flight PS752 crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s international airport on January 8, 2020, after being shot down by the Iranian military. The incident claimed the lives of all 167 passengers - mostly Canadian and Iranian passengers - and nine Ukrainian crew members.

“I find on a balance of probabilities that the missile attacks on Flight 752 were intentional and directly caused the deaths of all onboard," Justice Edward Belobaba said in his decision issued on Thursday.

The judge ruled that the plaintiffs, a group of families of the victims of the crash, had established that Iranian authorities committed an act of terrorism under Canada’s State Immunity Act (SIA), Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (JVTA) and criminal code.

Tehran has fervently rejected allegation of a deliberate attack on the passenger jet, with Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization concluding last month that PS752 was brought down inadvertently by an Iranian missile after being mistaken for a hostile target amid confrontation with the United States.

The Iranian military said it was on high alert at the time of the accident, which happened hours after it fired missiles at two US bases in Iraq in retaliation for the drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani.

However, in his decision, Belobaba rejected this assertion, saying that on the balance of probabilities there was no armed conflict in the region at the time of the downing.

The justice also ordered Iran to compensate the plaintiffs for legal costs.

The employment of the SIA means that Iran will no longer be protected by state immunity, allowing the families of the victims to pursue civil recourse against Tehran. Official Ottawa and Kiev have also strongly hinted at taking Iran to the International Court of Justice over the downing.

Iranian officials have not publicly responded to the ruling.

Along with the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization’s final report, Tehran has also charged several unnamed military officials for their role in the deadly incident. However, Canada and Ukraine have rejected the report’s findings and have expressed doubt that Iran would hold anyone to account for the downing.

Maduro’s Government Seizes Offices of Independent Newspaper

Further cracking down on independent media, President Nicolas Maduro’s government seized the offices of an emblematic Venezuelan newspaper after it allegedly caused moral injuries to a top government official.

El Nacional, an independent newspaper, saw armed officers seize and empty its headquarters in eastern Caracas on Friday evening.

The move followed an order issued by the country's top court after a longstanding legal battle with Venezuelan politician Diosdado Cabello - a key figure within Maduro's administration and often referred to as the second most powerful person in the country.

In 2015, Cabello filed a lawsuit for moral injury against the paper for reproducing stories originally published by The Wall Street Journal and Spain's ABC. The stories revealed that U.S. prosecutors had probed the politician over his alleged links to drug trafficking.

Last month, Venezuela’s top court ruled the newspaper must pay Cabello the equivalent of more than US$13 million in compensation. The owners of El Nacional refused to pay the amount, which prompted local authorities to seize the building.

El Nacional’slawyers appealed the ruling on Monday, but their move is likely to go unnoticed in a judicial system that reportedly lacks impartiality.

The seizure is believed to be a retaliation against the newspaper for its critical coverage of the Venezuelan government since no other printed publication has faced a similar destiny.

The newspaper’s owner, Miguel Henrique Otero, said Monday the government offered millions to buy the newspaper, which he rejected. He did not specify when the offer was made.

“With honor and with my head held high, today I can tell all Venezuelans that I did not sell El Nacional by rejecting an offer from the regime of millions of dollars,” Otero said in a statement addressing Cabello.

In 2018 El Nacional, the only critical newspaper with a national reach,was forced into adopting a digital-only format due to challenges imposed by the government, including the purchase of paper. At first, it reduced its pages, then it began circulating only Mondays and Saturdays before shutting down its printed edition indefinitely.

The seizure comes at a sensitive time for the country - the Venezuelan government has renewed negotiations with the opposition in an attempt to improve its relationship with Washington and access funds blocked by international sanctions.

Otero criticized the fact that the seizure took place during the negotiations, accusing Cabello of sabotaging the dialogue and planning an ambush.

Attacks against the free press have become increasingly common in Venezuela. Several independent news websites have been blocked by the state internet provider, while the local press union alerted that 41 printed newspapers shut down between 2013 and 2018.

Georgia gov urges Board of Education to not teach ‘DANGEROUS ideology’ of critical race theory

Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Georgia) has joined a growing group of Republican officials to stand against the concept of critical race theory being taught in schools.

In a Thursday letter, Kemp told members of the Georgia State Board of Education to take “immediate steps to ensure that Critical Race Theory and its dangerous ideology do not take root in our state standards and curriculum.”

Kemp said he does not want taxpayers to be funding a “blatantly partisan agenda” being promoted to children, which he claims the Biden administration is pushing.

Today, I wrote a letter to the State Board of Education opposing critical race theory in our schools. This divisive, anti-American agenda has no place in Georgia classrooms. pic.twitter.com/iDFFUmge0n

— Governor Brian P. Kemp (@GovKemp) May 20, 2021

Critical race theory is a concept being pushed by many liberal activists that examines how racial bias influences US policy and legal institutions. Conservatives have argued activists pushing for critical race theory are politically motivated.

Kemp’s aides did not specify whether the concept was being taught in any Georgia schools, but said the governor’s letter is meant to preempt this from ever occurring.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr earlier this week joined over a dozen other attorney generals this week in joining to urge the Biden administration not to support proposals suggesting teaching critical race theory and the controversial 1619 Project in schools.

“I believe in history by addition, not history by revision,” Carr said in a statement.

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren says husband’s coke and gun arrest is ‘about politics’

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said Thursday that her husband’s cocaine and firearms arrest was politically motivated.

The Democrat spoke briefly with reporters, claiming she had done nothing wrong and the police raid on her house and charges against her husband Timothy Granison were an attempt to discredit her reelection campaign.

“I find the timing of yesterday’s events, three weeks before early voting starts, to be highly suspicious,” Warren said, in her speech, which was posted by Rochester First.

“There’s nothing implicating me in these charges today, because I’ve done nothing wrong. I haven’t spoken to Tim since his arrest, and I’m not standing here to defend him.”

Granison, 42, was part of a drug operation that had been busted with two kilos of cocaine, three guns and more than $100,000. Police found more than two ounces of coke and an unregistered gun at the house where Granison lives with the mayor Wednesday.

“We need to ask ourselves, if this is not about politics, why is Tim’s next court date June 21 — the day before Primary Day?” Warren asked. “Now, that’s quite the coincidence. Now, when you figure out those answers to those questions, come find me, because I’ll be working.”

The 43-year-old mayor, who is facing campaign finance fraud charges, also pointed the finger at Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley, who she claimed “made a deal with a convicted criminal to harm me,” because she was “angry at me for supporting her opponent.”

Doorley defended her office’s work on Thursday.

“This was an investigation spanning close to seven months, a title three wiretap investigation that was run by my office,” she said at a press conference posted by the outlet.

Troopers pulled over the mayor’s husband Thursday afternoon in connection with the ongoing investigation, officials said

“Operating the vehicle was Timothy Granison.He was in possession of a large quantity of cocaine,” said New York State Police Maj. Barry Chase.

Jewish QLD State leader Dutton says Palaszczuk not showing vaccine leadership by ducking AstraZeneca jab

Federal government frontbencher Peter Dutton has criticised Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young for not getting the AstraZeneca jab.

Ms Palaszczuk said yesterday she was yet to be vaccinated against COVID-19 because she hadn't received her flu vaccine.

But Mr Dutton told Today she should "roll her sleeve up now" for the shot to show leadership amid a faltering vaccine rollout.

"I really don't understand the premier's position. I think in a position of leadership it is important, particularly now, to demonstrate that leadership and to make sure that you lead by example," he said.

"And the premier and the Chief Medical Officer in Queensland have let Queenslanders down and they need to, I think, go out today, roll their sleeve up and make a very public statement about the fact that they have got the vaccine and encourage other people to do it."

A Queensland Health spokesperson told Neil Breen 4BC that Dr Young will receive a Pfizer vaccine.

Mr Dutton also denied the government was giving mixed messages about the vaccine rollout.

Health Minister Greg Hunt yesterday said there would be increased supplies of the mRNA vaccines Pfizer and Moderna later this year but also urged people over 50 to get the AstraZeneca jab.

"I think what everybody has learnt out of this is we just don't know what the future holds," Mr Dutton said.

"The ability for this investment to result not just in vaccines for whatever a future pandemic might mean, it also gives us a chance at responding better or finding a cure toward cancer, other cardiovascular disease, etc."

But Labor front bencher Richard Marles - who has received the AstraZeneca vaccine - said Mr Hunt's messaging left Australians confused.

"I couldn't work out whether on the one hand he was telling us to go and get AstraZeneca if we were over 50, or if he was dog whistling to us all having an option to get Moderna or some other mRNA vaccine at the end of the year. It is deeply confusing."

Judge Rules Against Christian College Suing Biden Administration Over Trans Mandate

Judge: Biden's co-ed dorm mandate trumps religious freedom

A district judge rejected a challenge to the Biden administration's order to force co-ed bathrooms and dorms on a Christian college over the school's religious objections.

In February, the Department of Housing and Urban Development directed colleges to eliminate single-sex facilities. The directive came after President Joe Biden issued an executive order in January directing federal agencies "to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity," which would mean targeting religious institutions that maintain single-sex accommodations. The College of the Ozarks, a small Missouri Christian college, challenged the Biden administration for violating its religious rights in April.

On Wednesday, Western District of Missouri judge Roseann Ketchmark declined to temporarily halt the policy's implementation in the face of the school's religious objections. Alliance Defending Freedom, the religious liberty law firm arguing the case on behalf of the school, expressed dismay at the ruling and said the decision is likely to be appealed.

"Following the whims of special interest groups, lobbyists, and politicians, the administration is attempting to redefine the word ‘sex' in federal law to mean sexual orientation and gender identity, rather than biological sex as that word has always been understood," ADF senior counsel Ryan Bangert said. "As this case demonstrates, the administration's twisting of words is threatening foundational liberties."

Attorneys for the Biden administration argued that the mandate is not directed specifically at the college or its policies on single-sex facilities. They also argued that the college did not face an immediate threat of legal action if it did not comply with the mandate. The college pushed back by arguing it would face financial penalties if it maintains single-sex facilities and that it did not need to wait for a legal threat to challenge the law's constitutionality.

Ketchmark ruled that stopping the directive from going into effect would not protect the college from allegations of mistreatment under the Fair Housing Act.

The administration did not respond to a request for comment on the decision.

Biden's directive cites the Supreme Court's decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, which expanded anti-discrimination law to include gender identity and sexual orientation. The college says such an interpretation threatens its First Amendment rights.

"Our long-standing Christian beliefs have been threatened by the Biden administration," said Valorie Coleman, chief communications officer for the College of the Ozarks. "The Biden administration touts this change as freedom from discrimination, but it does not feel or look like freedom. Instead, our small private Christian college nestled in America's heartland faces discrimination from the government simply because of the biblical view on marriage and biological sex."

Israel Approves Ceasefire While Last Rockets Target Gaza – Reports

I do not agree with Brendon O’Connell on many things, but he still puts out very important information and has suffered for it.

Netanyahu can get away with murder because Israel controls the worlds high technology sector – over and above even the US. That “American” you see “controlling” something? He or she is an American Jew or Zionist, dual national Israeli American citizen. Israel rules. Until we target specifically this control of the high technology sector and specifically The Talpiot Program, we will all continue to wonder how Israel gets away with all it does. It is a racist state of the most odious kind. But who will stand up to them? From medical nanotechnology to cybersecurity to private hacking companies to military technology to police databases, banking, finance and medical – Israel runs them all.
