Danish Government Unveils Digital Covid-19 Passport

Copenhagen, Denmark – The Danish government on Friday unveiled its digital Covid-19 passport that will allow people to travel, go to hair salons, dine in restaurants or do other activities.

“The corona passport we present today can be used from July 1 when you can travel within the EU,” said Finance Minister Nicolai Vammen.

According to Vammen, 20% of Denmark’s population of 6 million people are fully vaccinated.

All other EU countries are expected to present Covid passports by the end of June so residents can ‘reunite with their friends and relatives in Europe.’

The Associated Press reported:

During a press conference outside the Copenhagen airport, Health Minister Magnus Heunicke held up his phone to show the app, which only features a QR code and a green bar if the person has been vaccinated twice or recently tested negative for COVID-19.

“What we get now is an app that makes it easier and simpler to use,” Heunicke said. “There is no doubt that we will have to use it over the summer, but it is of course something that needs to be phased out.”

People will either have the code scanned or will flash it before entering an airport, a harbor, a train station, a hairdresser or an eatery.

In certain cases, a physical document can be sent in the mail to serve the same purpose as the app.

“It is a solution that is very easy to use,” said Wammen, adding that if it flashes red, it will not say why.

1,000 Lawyers and 10,000 Doctors Join Together and File Lawsuit to Prosecute the “2nd Nuremburg Tribunal” Against Corona Fraud Scandal

Thousands of attorneys and doctors have joined forces to sue the CDC, WHO and the Davos Group for crimes against humanity.

Humansarefree reported in March:

Should the technocrats who pushed governments to lockdown their citizens be tried for crimes against humanity?

One prominent German lawyer, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, [in photo below] who is also licensed to practice law in America, thinks they should. And he is organizing a team of thousands of participating lawyers who want to prosecute a “second Nuremberg tribunal” against a cadre of international elites responsible for what he calls the “corona fraud scandal.”

Fuellmich was on the legal team that won a major lawsuit against German automaker Volkswagen in a 2015 case involving tampered catalytic converters in the U.S. He also was involved in a lawsuit that exposed one of Germany’s largest banks, Deutsche Bank, as a criminal enterprise.

The bank was recently ordered by the U.S. Justice Department to pay $130 million to resolve corrupt practices that included money laundering, bribery and fraud between the years 2009 and 2016.

Fuellmich is licensed to practice law in Germany and the state of California.

He believes the frauds committed by Volkswagen and Deutsche Bank pale in comparison to the damage wrought by those who sold the Covid-19 crisis as the worst viral outbreak to hit the world in more than a century and used it to cause media-driven panic, government overreach and human suffering on a scale still not fully quantified.

The truth is revealed in the numbers, Fuellmich said, citing figures that show COVID-19 has not caused any statistically significant increase in the 2020 death counts over previous years.

This group claims the tests used to identify COVID-19 were faulty and was used to commit crimes against humanity.

Fuellmich and his team present the incorrect PCR test and the order for doctors to describe any comorbidity death as a Covid death – as fraud.

The PCR test was never designed to detect pathogens and is almost 100% inaccurate at 35 cycles. All PCR tests monitored by the CDC are set at 37 to 45 cycles. The CDC acknowledges that tests over 28 cycles are not allowed for a positive reliable result.

This invalidates over 90% of the alleged Covid cases / “infections” detected by the use of this incorrect test.

In addition to the incorrect tests and fraudulent death certificates, the “experimental” vaccine itself violates Article 32 of the Geneva Convention.

Under Article 32 of the 1949 Geneva Convention, “mutilation and medical or scientific experiments not required for the medical treatment of a protected person” are prohibited.

The group claims:

Droves of lockdown protesters flood London for weekly ‘Freedom March’ (VIDEOS)

A protest in London has drawn a large number of participants, united by their mistrust of how the British government is handling the Covid-19 situation. Such events are part of a larger movement that’s gripping Western countries.

In the latest weekly demonstration, tens of thousands marched through the streets of the British capital under the banner “Unite for Freedom”. The rally brought together groups of people who are variously unhappy with the prolonged lockdowns imposed by the government, mistrustful of Covid-19 vaccines and harbour anti-government sentiments.

Politician David Kurten, formerly of the UK Independence Party, estimated that the gathering was larger than the one held last weekend. “We are all out, normal people, not wearing any masks, not taking any vaccines, demanding that the government give us back the civil liberties that they never had the right to take away,” he said, summarizing the protesters’ cause.

Anti-lockdown protests similar to the one in London have been happening on a regular basis in many Western countries and are sometimes met with police action.

In the UK, the mistrust in government policies has been fuelled by an often-shifting narrative, which started with a call to endure a short period of restrictions to “flatten the curve” of Covid-19 infections and protect the National Health Service from being overwhelmed, but instead went on for months.

Boris Johnson’s government has warned that outbreaks of the ‘Indian variant’ of Covid-19 could slow down the promised easing of restrictions in the country. Pubs and restaurants in England have recently been allowed to serve customers indoors in groups of up to six – or two households – once again, and other public venues have had their restrictions partially lifted. Outdoor public gatherings are normally restricted to 30 people, and social distancing between groups is advised.

Virologists Say Genetic "Fingerprints" Prove COVID-19 Man-Made, 'No Credible Natural Ancestor'

wo notable virologists claim to have found "unique fingerprints" on COVID-19 samples that only could have arisen from laboratory manipulation, according to an explosive 22-page paper obtained by the Daily Mail.

British professor Angus Dalgleish - best known for creating the world's first 'HIV vaccine', and Norwegian virologist Dr. Birger Sørensen - chair of pharmaceutical company, Immunor, who has published 31 peer-reviewed papers and holds several patents, wrote that while analyzing virus samples last year, the pair discovered "unique fingerprints" in the form of "six inserts" created through gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

They also conclude that "SARS-Coronavirus-2 has "no credible natural ancestor" and that it is "beyond reasonable doubt" that the virus was created via "laboratory manipulation."

Last year, Sørensen told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that COVID-19 has properties which have 'never been detected in nature,' and that the United States has 'collaborated for many years on coronavirus research through "gain of function" studies with China.

The paper detailing their months-long "forensic analysis," which looked back at experiments done at the Wuhan Institute of Virology between 2002 and 2019, is set to be published in the scientific journal Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery.

More via the Mail:

Digging through archives of journals and databases, Dalgleish and Sørensen pieced together how Chinese scientists, some working in concert with American universities, allegedly built the tools to create the coronavirus.

Much of the work was centered around controversial 'Gain of Function' research – temporarily outlawed in the US under the Obama administration.

Gain of Function involves tweaking naturally occurring viruses to make them more infectious, so that they can replicate in human cells in a lab, allowing the virus's potential effect on humans to be studied and better understood.

Dalgleish and Sørensen claim that scientists working on Gain of Function projects took a natural coronavirus 'backbone' found in Chinese cave bats and spliced onto it a new 'spike', turning it into the deadly and highly transmissible SARS-Cov-2.

One tell-tale sign of alleged manipulation the two men highlighted was a row of four amino acids they found on the SARS-Cov-2 spike.

Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate “Serves” Governor Kemp with Request for State Forensic Audit of 2020 Ballots

Kandiss Taylor is running for governor in Georgia. Kandiss is a teacher and mother of three children. She ran for US Senate in 2020 and did not make it past the primary.

Kandis is an outspoken critic of the corrupt 2020 election in the state of Georgia. She is one of many leaders demanding a forensic audit of the machines and ballots.

But Governor Kemp is not interested. He is fine with the results despite several irregularities and tens of thousands of suspect ballots.

On Friday Kandiss Taylor met up with Governor Kemp at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in south Georgia.

Kandiss “served” the Georgia governor with papers requesting official forensic audit of the 2020 election ballots.

Here is the video of Kandiss serving Governor Kemp with papers during his stop on Friday.

Cop Indicted for Stealing Meth & Fentanyl, Overdosing On-Duty, Causing Massive Multi-Car Crash

Klamath Falls, OR — In case you’ve been completely in the dark for the last decade, you’ve likely noticed that the United States is currently in the midst of an opioid crisis. This crisis knows no demographic, no race, no gender, no age limit, and no occupation—it hits them all. One example portrays this notion like no other and that is when cops get caught using opioids like fentanyl. Klamath Falls police detective, Thomas Dwayne Reif, 27, has become the latest example and was indicted this week for stealing methamphetamine and fentanyl from inside another officer’s secured evidence locker and then overdosing on the drugs in his police cruiser.

Last November, Reif was on duty and in his official police cruiser when he fell unconscious after overdosing, jumped a median, veered into oncoming traffic and caused massive multiple vehicle in Klamath Falls.

According to Oregon Live, Reif was indicted on two counts of possessing a controlled substance by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge.

He appeared in court on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to the indictment. He is expected back at trial in August.

According to police, they received a 911 call of a person driving recklessly in a silver 2013 Dodge Avenger, which was Reif’s assigned police vehicle. Before police could find Reif, however, he caused the multi-car crash.

“Just prior to the crash, Klamath County 911 received a call describing Reif as driving recklessly down South 6th Street,” according to state police. “Reif was evaluated at the scene by Klamath County Fire District 1 personnel and found to be unresponsive and not breathing. He was transported to Sky Lake Medical Center where emergency department personnel were able to quickly stabilize him.”

freestar

Though the crash and overdose happened on November 27, Reif was not charged with anything originally. This was in spite of the fact that blood and urine tests confirmed he had fentanyl and meth in his system at the time of the crash.

Investigators also found a bag of meth inside Reif’s personal locker at the police department.

Though Reif was fired, the department said they are working with the Department of Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) in a professional standards case to determine if Reif can keep his certification as a police officer in Oregon, noting that this incident has “embarrassed” the department.

“We are deeply embarrassed and disappointed with Mr. Reif’s misconduct. The Klamath Falls Police Department does not condone this type of behavior or misconduct by any law enforcement officer. We will continue to hold each other accountable to the highest ethical standards without exception.”

Indeed, this incident is embarrassing but it is much more than that. It shows how the war on drugs is a complete failure as the ones enforcing it can’t even prevent themselves from partaking in these arbitrary substances deemed illegal by the state.

Because Reif stole the fentanyl from police, after he stole it from someone else who is likely in jail, he deserves to be held accountable. Also, because Reif endangered the lives of all the people in the crash he caused, he deserves to be held accountable. And, because Reif engaged in a hypocritical act of betraying public trust by engaging in acts which he has arrested people for, he deserves to be held accountable.

Biden received funds from top Russia lobbyist before Nord Stream 2 giveaway

President Biden and his allies raked in campaign cash from a top Russia lobbyist in 2020, just months before his administration’s decision to scrap sanctions on a controversial firm building a Russian oil pipeline to Germany.

Richard Burt, a managing partner at McLarty Associates and a former US ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, ponied up $4,000 for Joe Biden in October 2020 and dropped another $10,000 in the lefty-aligned political action committee Unite The County in March 2020, FEC records show.

In addition to violating Biden’s own campaign pledge not to take lobbyist cash, the money from Burt is particularly noteworthy as he is currently directly engaged in lobbying activities for Nord Stream 2 AG.

“When Richard Burt donated to Biden Victory Fund, he failed to acknowledge that he was a registered foreign agent and was therefore ineligible to contribute,” A Democratic National Committee spokesman told The Post. “Because Burt also listed a different employer than on his [Foreign Agents Registration Act] registration, he was not flagged during our vetting process.”

The DNC said they had returned the cash on Thursday after The Post’s inquiry.

The Switzerland-based Nord Stream 2 — controlled by an ex-East German stasi officer and close ally of Vladimir Putin — is currently engaging in sanctionable activity, according to the State Department. Team Biden raised eyebrows, however, after declining to enforce sanctions, citing US national interests, Axios reported.

Critics worry the project will allow Russia dangerous influence over European energy supplies and increase their overall political leverage on the continent.

To build the pipeline, Nord Stream 2 has partnered with five European energy companies, ENGIE, OMV, Shell, Uniper and Wintershall Dea. Lobbying disclosure forms show that Burt is currently advocating on behalf of all five.

Schumer to Force Senate Vote on Sweeping Election Reform Bill

The Senate will vote on a bill that would dramatically change how elections are run next month, the body’s top Democrat said Friday.

S. 1, also known as the For the People Act, will be voted on during the last full week in June, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told Democratic colleagues in a memorandum.

Schumer called the bill, which mirrors a version the House of Representatives passed in March, “legislation that is essential to defending our democracy, reducing the influence of dark money and powerful special interests, and stopping the wave of Republican voter suppression happening in states across the country.”

The act would federalize components of the election system, eliminating nearly all qualifications such as photo identification. It would also require states to implement a system of automatic voter registration and to allow same-day registration on any day voting is allowed.

Critics have promised to bring a flood of lawsuits if it’s passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Joe Biden.

“In my state in Oklahoma, we have great voting engagement. We want to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat. S1 takes away a state’s ability to hold people accountable for cheating,” Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) told colleagues on the Senate floor this month.

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) has described the bill as “a massive federal takeover of elections.”

Democrats largely support the legislation.

“The freedom to vote is fundamental to all of our freedoms. It is how Americans control their government and hold their elected officials accountable,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) told a Senate Rules Committee hearing on May 11.

“The For the People Act is about setting basic national standards to make sure all Americans can vote safely in the way that works best for them, regardless of what state or zip code they live in. The For the People Act is about reducing the power of big money in our elections by ending secret spending by billionaires and special interests. And the For the People Act is about making anti-corruption reforms to ensure all politicians work for the people, not for themselves,” she added.

Schumer told reporters on Capitol Hill that at two recent caucus lunches, “it was made clear how important S1 is to the country, to our Democratic majority, and to individual senators, and those discussions are going and I have a lot of faith in them.”

The Senate is currently divided in half, with 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats or nominal independents who regularly vote with Democrats. Passing a bill requires 60 votes.

Schumer also plans on bringing other pieces of legislation up for a vote when the Senate reconvenes on June 7, including the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would direct the Department of Labor to study pay disparities between men and women and make information on the disparities available to the public.

He also held open the possibility that the upper chamber will consider gun control legislation. He also said he may force another vote on the bill that would establish a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol storming. The Senate rejected the measure earlier on Friday.

Michigan Secretary of State Warns County Boards Against Ordering Audits

The office of the Michigan secretary of state has told two county clerks that they do not legally have to provide access to voting equipment maintained by their office if ordered to do so by county boards.

“The Board has no authority to require you or any municipal clerk to provide external access to voting equipment maintained by your offices, and neither you nor municipal clerks in Cheboygan County should provide this access,” Jonathan Brater, director of the Michigan Bureau of Elections, told Cheboygan County clerk Karen Brewster in a May 20 letter obtained by The Epoch Times.

Another official from the office of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, sent a similar letter on the same day to the clerk in Antrim County, conveying the view that the board of commissioners there has no authority to require an audit or compel the providing of election records.

Commissioners can seek such records through a freedom of information act request, Lori Bourbonais, director of the Elections Administration Division at the bureau wrote. “However, they have no authority to direct county or local clerks to provide this information, nor are any opinions they have about the manner in which local clerks conduct voting and registration transactions binding on local clerks in any way,” she added.

Brewster and Antrim County clerks were also advised not to grant access to voting equipment to firms not accredited by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

Critics of an ongoing audit of ballots and machines in Arizona’s largest county have noted that the company leading the audit, Cyber Ninjas, lacks accreditation from the commission.

Antrim County’s Board of Commissioners and the county’s clerk were asked at a May 6 board meeting to look into whether or not, and how, an audit of the Nov. 3, 2020 election could be required or requested. The board worked with Guy to ask the Bureau of Elections for answers.

Guy told commissioners during the meeting that voter registration rolls belong to the townships and alleged the board could not demand an audit because it lacked jurisdiction over the townships.

Commissioner Dawn LaVanway, a Republican, moved two weeks later to have the board complete a forensic audit of the election. The motion failed.

The county immediately after the election last year reported that Democrat Joe Biden received over 3,000 more votes in the county than then-President Donald Trump. However, the county twice updated the results, with Trump ultimately being shown ahead by nearly 4,000 votes.

Guy initially pinned the issue on a combination of a software glitch and human error. She and Benson later blamed what happened solely on human error, specifically a failure to update election machine programming. A hand recount later found another difference in the count of about 10 votes.

William Bailey, a voter, later sued the county, alleging the vote count was manipulated. Forensic auditors who examined Dominion Voting Systems machines on behalf of Bailey said the company’s software was “purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.” The audit’s findings were disputed by Michigan officials and Dominion.

A judge last week tossed Bailey’s case.

In Cheboygan County, the Board of Commissioners tasked a subcommittee to explore the desire by some residents to have an audit of the 2020 presidential election. The subcommittee has been looking at different things and trying to collect more data, Board Vice Chairman Sangster told a meeting late last month.

Obama-Biden Admin Official Lobbied For Chinese Military Proxy Surveilling Uyghurs.

An official from the Obama-Biden administration lobbied for a Chinese tech firm collaborating with the regime’s military and executing state-backed surveillance operations against Uyghurs.

Susan Lagana, whose LinkedIn profile also reveals her stint as North Carolina’s Communications Director for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, signed Hikvision as a lobbying client in 2019. The arrangement, which was recently extended to expire on December 31st, 2021, counted Lagana as a signatory on the documents outlining the initial agreement.

In exchange for a monthly retainer of $25,000, Lagana’s lobbying firm would “advise” the manufacturer and supplier of video surveillance equipment on the following matters, according to Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) filings:

“Public affairs and policy issues, Strategic planning and guidance, Media relations, Issues management, Internal and external communications, Coordinate outside consultants, Message development, Media monitoring, Media Engagement, Fact Sheets, Messages, and Q&As.”

Lagana signed the company less than a year after departing the Obama administration, where she served as Director of Communications for the U.S. Navy, an attorney a the Office of Personnel Management, and the Director of Public Affairs at the Department of Transporation.

Beyond its deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party given its status as a state-owned company, Hikvision has also been identified by the U.S. Department of Defense as a proxy of the regime’s military. Many fear the data recorded by the company’s surveillance equipment could easily end up in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

What’s more, Hikvision has been “linked to Uyghur abuses,” according to Reuters, which describes the company as the “world’s largest purveyor of video surveillance systems and vendor to Xinjiang police agencies.”

Biden Admin Releases 10K Migrant Children into U.S. in May

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials increased the numbers of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) being released into the interior of the United States since May 1. The speed at which HHS officials transferred recently apprehended unaccompanied minor children helped the agency finally release more on average than are apprehended on any single day. According to an HHS report, the Biden administration released 10,700 unaccompanied migrant children into the U.S. this month.

The number of UACs in federal custody dropped from a high of nearly 23,000 on May 1 to 18,481 on Thursday. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas deployed a volunteer workforce from multiple federal agencies to assist HHS in their effort to quickly process, transfer, and ultimately release the UACs into the United States once sponsors are located.

In a statement to Congress earlier this month, Mayorkas commented on the efforts leading to the speedy releases.

“The Federal Protective Service alongside other DHS federal law enforcement partners has helped provide security support to HHS facilities housing unaccompanied children,” the secretary said. “ICE has increased its transportation capacity to transfer these children to ORR. The DHS Volunteer Force has deployed more than 400 additional staff to provide onsite support at HHS facilities across the country.”

The flow of unaccompanied migrant children is still in full swing. Nearly 7,000 UACs were arrested and placed in Border Patrol custody as the releases took place. The arrests mean the number of children released to sponsors, although increasing in pace, only result in marginal reductions to the total number of UACs detained.

Health and Human Services opened more than a dozen Emergency Intake Sites to deal with the influx of migrant children. These facilities make use of abandoned oilfield man camps, vacant buildings, and convention centers across the United States.

According to Mayorkas, “Between March 13 and May 1, FEMA assisted in the activation of fourteen HHS EIS facilities. EIS facilities are operating in Texas, California, and Michigan, increasing the potential temporary bed capacity when fully staffed by 19,987 beds, or 1,999 percent.”

These unlicensed facilities faced criticism due to insufficient staffing, drinking water issues, and Covid 19 protections.

Biden Admin Plans To Direct $861 Million To Central American Countries So That Their People Won’t Invade The Border

The Biden administration aims to send $861 million to Central American countries to address causes of mass migration to the U.S., according to the budget released Friday.

The administration plans to provide $861 million in federal aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico in order to “address the root causes of irregular migration,” according to the proposed budget for 2022. Vice President Kamala Harris asked private sector companies to “make new, significant commitments” to create sustainable economic opportunities aimed at ending the migration crisis at the southern border on Thursday, according to the White House.

“Our comprehensive strategy to address the root causes of migration will involve significant commitments of U.S. government resources to support the long-term development of the region—including efforts to foster economic opportunity, strengthen governance, combat corruption, and improve security,” the White House said.

Harris said the private sector’s resources are a crucial component to creating long-term economic growth in the region, according to the White House. With commitments from the U.S. government and private companies, the Biden administration will be able to leverage commitments and resources from regional governments, banks and international financial institutions.

“Together, we can work to overcome obstacles to investment, promote economic opportunity, and support long-term development in the region,” according to the White House. “Supporting the long-term development of the region, and in the Western Hemisphere more broadly, will require more than just the resources of the U.S. government.”

The U.S. government will support private sector commitments to increase investment and sustainable economic growth in the region, the White House said. The Biden administration said the goal is for private sector engagement to not change with politics to avert future crises caused by thousands of migrants making the journey to the U.S., the Wall Street Journal reported.

Dan Crenshaw Launches Whistleblower Page to Receive Complaints on Military Wokeness

Navy SEAL veteran Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) on Friday announced he had launched a page for whistleblowers to go and report complaints on wokeness spreading in the United States military.

He tweeted:

Enough is enough. We won’t let our military fall to woke ideology. We have just launched a whistleblower webpage where you can submit your story. Your complaint will be legally protected, and go to my office and @SenTomCotton.

He added:

With written permission we will anonymously publish egregious complaints on social media and tell the country what’s happening in our military.

For too long, progressive Pentagon staffers have been calling the shots for our warfighters, and spineless military commanders have let it happen. Now we are going to expose you.

— Rep. Dan Crenshaw (@RepDanCrenshaw) May 28, 2021

The page advises whistleblowers to use personal devices and contact information when submitting information, and to not submit classified information.

As the Biden administration looks to crack down on “extremists” in the military without yet having defined the term, some conservatives in the military have come forward to report political persecution.

Most notably, Air Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier has come forward with stories of such persecution in podcast interviews and in his book, “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.”

In his book, he recalls attending the Pentagon’s top strategy school and bringing up psychologist Jordan Peterson with his thesis advisers and being told that mentioning Peterson was like mentioning “Hitler.”

Lohmeier was fired from command at Space Force after he appeared on several podcasts discussing his book.

In one interview on the Information Operations podcast he said: “What you see happening in the U.S. military at the moment is that if you’re a conservative, then you’re lumped into a group of people who are labeled extremists if you voice your views.”

Laura Ingraham on ‘Breaking the News’: ‘Fabulous’ Book Exposing ‘How China Has Completely Infiltrated American Media’

Laura Ingraham lauded Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow’s Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption Thursday as a “fabulous” book exposing, among other things, the Chinese government’s influence over American news media outlets.

In an interview with Marlow on her eponymous podcast, Ingraham noted how conflicts of interest revealed in Breaking the News help explain news media mendacity related to the coronavirus.

“Alex, you have been all over this — the conflicts of interest,” Ingraham remarked,” [and] about how China has completely infiltrated American media with dollars, research money, advertising dollars, threats of travel restrictions and so forth … and you uncover this as it relates to the billionaires in this country and their connection.”

She observed Hollywood’s refusal to produce documentaries or other films depicting China’s communist history:

One of the reasons it happens is because we have a media that is not independent — forget objective — not even independent of the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. We find out that the CCP — China — has spent billions of dollars over the years in advertising in the United States … in publications that desperately need ad dollars. I’m talking Time magazine, some newspapers, magazines like the Atlantic. So they buy their way into the United States, and these journalists become little pieces of putty.

Just like Hollywood’s not going to offend China by doing a powerful documentary about what’s happened to the religious minorities in China [or] what’s happened to traditional religious expression. Forget it. They’re not going to do that. They’ll never do that movie, just like they’re never going to do a movie about Mao, a real one.

Can you imagine that film about Mao? Sixty million people dead. How many movies have we had about World War II? How about the Great Leap Forward? How about extermination of millions and millions and millions of Chinese? They’re not going to do it.

Their silence is bought.

Marlow’s book details China’s procurement of influence across American news media outlets, which Ingraham linked to much of the news media’s deception and suppression of information regarding the coronavirus’s origins and the one-party state’s conduct in response to the outbreak.

Italy: Pro-Migration NGOs Accused of Exploiting Dead Child Photos

Italian media have accused pro-migration non-governmental organisations (NGOs) of exploiting photographs of dead children to increase public support for migrant “taxi” operations in the Mediterranean Sea.

A photograph of a dead toddler on a Libyan beach published on social media by Oscar Camps, the founder of the Spanish migrant transport NGO Open Arms, has been called “unacceptable” by Italian prime minister Mario Draghi.

Italian newspaper Il Giornale, however, has accused the NGOs and their allies of exploiting the photographs, stating: “The only real culprits responsible for lifeless children with their faces in the sand are the traffickers, who put migrants on their death rafts and set them off to Italy for a fee.”

“NGOs, such as Open Arms… prefer to point the finger at our country and Europe, which they believe have abandoned sea rescue,” they added.

The newspaper also adds that the timing of the release of the photographs comes as the various head of European Union countries were meeting to discuss the recent surge in illegal migration to Spain and Italy in recent weeks.

According to the newspaper, the images came from a beach near Zuwara in Libya, called the “heart” of the people-smuggling trade by the BBC in 2015, with Il Giornale questioning who sent the photographs to Open Arms, with other charities such as the Red Crescent being unlikely to send such images to NGOs.

The pictures also echo the photograph of Syrian toddler Alan Kurdi, who was found dead on a beach in Turkey. The image sparked outrage across the world and made the front pages of newspapers during the height of the 2015 migrant crisis.

In recent months, NGO activity in the Mediterranean has increased, with migrant transports dropping off hundreds of people in Italy. Other migrants have arrived in large numbers on their own to the island of Lampedusa, including over 1,200 arrivals in 24 hours earlier this month.

Chechen Migrants Arrested In France for Allegedly Plotting Terror Attack

French police have arrested four people aged 16 to 18, at least three of whom are believed to be of Chechen heritage, on charges of plotting a terrorist attack.

The arrests took place in Strasbourg and its suburb of Schiltigheim on Wednesday morning after an investigation by France’s domestic intelligence agency, the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI), as part of an investigation by the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT).

According to a report from the French broadcaster France Info, the teens are suspected of plotting a terrorist act, but the details of the threat have not been disclosed. Investigators seized digital material during the arrest, a judicial source told the media.

France Bleu reported that the suspects are aged 16 to 18 years old and that at least three of the four — aged 16, 17, and 18 — originate from Chechnya, an autonomous Muslim-majority state in the Russian Federation.

Since the murder of teacher Samuel Paty in October by Chechen refugee Abdoullakh Anzorov, French authorities have focused on radicalism among the Chechen community in the country, including fast-tracking deportations of Muslim extremists.

France Info noted that three people, two from Russia and one from Georgia, some believed to be Chechens, had been jailed for “criminal terrorist association” and “terrorist financing”.

Shocker: Why is this substance in the Moderna COVID vaccine?

It’s called SM-102.

Verifying that it is in the Moderna COVID vaccine, I find a 12/30/20 CDC document titled: “COVID-19 Vaccines: Update on Allergic Reactions, Contraindications, and Precautions.” [1]

If you scroll down halfway through the document, you’ll see a chart titled, “Ingredients Included in mRNA COVID vaccines.” (pg 20)

The right-hand side of the chart shows ingredients in the Moderna vaccine. The fifth ingredient down is “SM-102: heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl) (6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy) hexyl) amino) octanoate.”

Now we go to a document published by the Cayman Chemical Company of Ann Arbor, Michigan: “Safety Data Sheet acc. to OSHA HCS.” (04/11/2021) [2]

This data sheet lists the effects of SM-102. Here is the opening note: “For research use only, not for human or veterinary use.”

Far from comforting.

Then the safety data sheet lights up with adverse effects/warnings re SM-102. For example: “Suspected of causing cancer. Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child. Causes damage to the central nervous system, the kidneys, the liver and the respiratory system through prolonged or repeated exposure. Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.”

Several things to point out here. First, what dosage level of, and what duration of exposure to, SM-102 are we talking about? Details on these toxicity factors need to be known. HOWEVER, all that is overridden by the fact that SM-102 is being INJECTED into the body via the Moderna shot. We’re not just talking about inhalation or skin contact.

Obviously, the human body has layers of defense against attack. With injection, a number of those layers are bypassed.

And once deep within the body, where does SM-102 travel as it causes damage along the way?

I doubt that the Cayman safety data sheet even considered the possibility that SM-102 would be injected.

The experts and authorities will assure us SM-102 is safe. They’ll say only miniscule amounts are being injected. They’ll say the clinical trials of the vaccine revealed no problems. They’ll parrot, over and over again, as they always do: “safe and effective.”

You’re walking along a country path. You see a snake lying just ahead of you. He slowly raises his head and looks at you. On his hood, you read the words: “emergency use authorization granted.”

Facebook slammed for advertising properties in illegal Israeli settlements on Instagram

Social media companies like Facebook and TikTok had already been criticised for restricting pro-Palestinian content

Facebook is being criticised for letting companies advertise the sale of property in illegal Israeli settlements on Instagram, amid continued outrage at the social media giant's alleged censorship of Palestinian accounts in recent weeks.

Images posted online showed an Israeli company advertising properties in the northern occupied West Bank settlement of Beit Aryeh-Ofarim on Instagram, the social media platform owned by Facebook.

Facebook, like other social media companies, is facing mounting pressure over its policing of pro-Palestinian content in the wake of the recent deadly escalation in Israel and Palestine, which has left some 292 people dead.

Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook have all been accused of banning, blocking or restricting accounts that published photos of the Israeli bombardment of civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The social networks have also been accused of restricting posts that included the words or hashtags "Palestine", "resistance", "Israel", "Hamas", and "al-Aqsa."

In a bid to beat the algorithms, activists and other social media users have taken to not writing the words "Israeli" or "Palestinian", or using an alternative Arabic font, fearing that their posts could be suppresssed.

US Imported Oil Twice From Iran in Last Two Quarters Despite Sanctions, EIA Data Shows

The United States imported crude oil and petroleum products from Iran twice between the last two quarters despite Washington's sanctions against Tehran, Energy Information Administration (EIA) data revealed on Friday.

The estimated import of 36,000 barrels per day in October 2020 and 33,000 barrels daily in March this year appear to be the first such purchases made by the United States from Iran since 1993 at least, the EIA data showed.

The EIA did not explain how the Iranian imports showed up on its log, despite current US sanctions prohibiting any country from importing Iranian oil.

The United States has a long history of sanctions against Iran, dating back to 1984, when it prohibited weapon sales and all US assistance to Iran.

President Barack Obama in 2012 issued sanctions targeting Iranian financial institutions designed to effectively choke off the sale of Iranian oil. Obama also lifted those sanctions in 2016 after Iran signed a nuclear deal with the United States and other world powers, pledging not to make atomic weapons.

Obama’s successor Donald Trump, however, canceled that nuclear deal in 2018 and put new, intensified sanctions on Iran. President Joe Biden, after entering office in January this year, had allowed negotiations to begin on a fresh nuclear deal with Iran. The Biden administration is also not enforcing sanctions against Iran as strenuously as the Trump administration.

It is between the handover from Trump to Biden and the first couple of months of the current administration that the US imports from Iran occurred, EIA data shows.

200 Indian Villagers Jump Into Saryu River To Avoid Forceful COVID-19 Vaccination

When the Health Department team arrived at the Sisoda village in Uttar Pradesh to vaccinate them, the villagers ran to the shore. When the team surrounded them at the shore almost 200 villagers jumped into the river Saryu to escape forceful COVID-19 vaccination.

Sisauda is a village with a population of 1500 people located in the Terai, 70 km from the district headquarters of Barabanki.

There is so much awareness about the adverse events from vaccine and post-vaccination deaths in this village that when the Health Department team arrived here for vaccination, about 200 villagers ran away and reached the shore of river Saryu.

When the Health Department team got information that the villagers were out of the village towards the river, they went to convince them.

Seeing the team coming towards them, the villagers could not find a way to escape and jumped into the Saryu river to avoid getting vaccinated forcefully.

Seeing the villagers leap into the river, the Health Department team requested the villagers to come out but the villagers were not ready to move out.

Later, Ramnagar SDM Rajiv Shukla and Nodal Officer Rahul Tripathi reached the spot and told the villagers that would not be vaccinated, only after which they came out of the river.

Why is Auditor Harry Hursti, Who Uncovered the Fatal Flaws in Diebold Memory Cards in 2005, Hiding These Flaws in the Windham, NH Audit This Week?

Only one of three auditors in Windham, New Hampshire, stuck around and did any work on the third and fourth days of the scheduled onsite audit in Windham this past week.

Computer scientist Dr. Harri Hursti ended up, strangely, being the only team member left in Windham, NH to forensically audit both the town’s Diebold memory cards and their AccuVote Optical Scan (AV-OS) tabulating systems.

Both of Harry’s colleagues, Dr. Philip Stark and Dr. Mark Lindeman, were unaccountably missing for both days of this pre-planned, two-day audit of these Diebold election products. This appears to be in violation of the April 12, 2021, NH law, SB 43, which states there shall be a “forensic election audit team” of three “to complete the audit.“

This situation left Hursti alone, with no checks & balances upon his work product.

Diebold Election Systems, through several sales and mergers since 2002 became Premier Election Solutions and, eventually, the company known today as Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion also owns “the intellectual property of the AccuVote and its related elections management system.”

On Tuesday, on-the-ground election integrity activist Lisa Mazur in NH reported on the troubling departure, on Tuesday and Wednesday, of two of the three members of the Windham audit team, after she had visited the Windham audit site that morning:

You can’t make this stuff up … We hired a team of three, Hursti, Stark and Lindeman. Stark left the audit yesterday, not coming back. Still have until Thursday but he won’t be here ’til Thursday and 9:00 this morning I’m there, I’m sitting there and I see Lindeman go up to Anne Edwards [NH Associate Attorney General] and say, ‘Alright I’m leaving, you have my phone number if you need me.’ He walks out.

I’m looking around like is he coming back? I asked a few questions and check out this clip from Hursti and my question to him about that:

Mazur: Does Mark Lindeman have any part in this process?

Hursti: Nope.

Mazur: Did he leave?

Hursti: I think he is going to leave and come back Thursday.”

https://youtu.be/pXhlTZVPYcA

Thursday, however, ended the onsite audit when everything got quickly packed up and returned to NH election officials.

Hursti’s misdirections, always drawing our attention to his audit of the mysterious, inner workings of the Diebold AV-OS tabulators (aka Diebold ES2000 units), are nothing more than big, fat red herrings, effectively leading us far away from talk of these units’ old-fashioned, removable memory cards. It is there where undetectable manipulation of an election count and a thrown election could be found, if and only if the cards themselves haven’t already been wiped, altered, over-written, lost, or even switched after the dirty deed was completed.

209 House Republicans demand Nancy Pelosi FINALLY investigate China's complicity in causing pandemic that's killed 593,000 Americans - after Dems repeatedly refused to probe Wuhan lab

House Republican Whip Steve Scalise and more than 200 of his GOP colleagues have called for Nancy Pelosi to direct her Democrat-led committees to investigate China's complicity in causing the COVID pandemic.

In a letter to the Democratic House Speaker, the Republicans said there is 'mounting evidence the pandemic started in a Chinese lab' and the Chinese Communist Party 'covered it up'.

'If that is the case, the CCP is responsible for the deaths of almost 600,000 Americans and millions more worldwide. These questions about the CCP’s liability are not a diversion, as you falsely claimed,' the letter reads.

'To the contrary, every American family that lost someone deserves answers about the origin of this terrible virus, and House Democrats’ ongoing refusal to allocate investigative resources to get those answers is an affront to them.

'Repeatedly, House Republicans called for a full investigation to address the CCP’s complicity in obscuring the origins of COVID-19. Repeatedly, our requests were ignored. Instead, House Democrats pursued a radical left-wing agenda that is pushing the economy toward the highest inflation rates since 1979.'

Republicans upped their demands for an investigation as House members were set to introduce two new COVID-related bills, one that would allow victims' families to sue China and another that would set up a 9/11-style commission to look into the origins of the pandemic.

It follows reports that President Biden's call to US intelligence agencies to report back on the virus origins in 90 days was sparked by claims they have a raft of 'unexamined evidence'.

This evidence requires additional computer analysis and could lead to more information surfacing about the lab leak theory, the lab workers who were infected before the pandemic spread across the world and how COVID spread around Wuhan, The New York Times reported.

As of Friday, 593,292 Americans had died of COVID and more than 33,217,000 had been infected.

Fox News reported Friday that Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb and Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, both of Pennsylvania, will be releasing the 'Never Again International Outbreak Prevention Act,' which will strip China's sovereign immunity against lawsuits.

The bill also targets any other countries 'that have intentionally misled the international community on the outbreak.'

A second bill, the 'Made in America Emergency Preparedness Act,' had been introduced in the last Congress by Fitzpatrick as well.

Facebook Fires Whistleblower for Leaking “Vaccine Hesitancy” Censorship Documents

As of late, Facebook has been coming under a great deal of scrutiny for their plans to launch an Instagram page for kids under 13, secretly tracking people through their iPhones, blocking posts from people of color, and much more.

A recently fired employee has also leaked documents that prove Facebook has been censoring comments about COVID “Vaccine Hesitancy”. Yikes!

From Fox News:

Facebook whistleblower fired after leaking ‘vaccine hesitancy’ censorship documents to Project Veritas

Morgan Kahmann exposed Facebook’s efforts to suppress user comments opposing COVID vaccines

Morgan Kahmann, the Facebook whistleblower who was suspended after leaking internal documents exposing a “vaccine hesitancy” censorship campaign, was officially fired by the tech giant.

In a video shared on Friday, Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe is seen crashing a virtual meeting Kahmann was having with his employer, who had informed him that the company would be “terminating” him “effective immediately.”

“I have to ask you why are you taking action against Morgan for publicizing these vaccine documents?” O’Keefe asked.

FACEBOOK WHISTLEBLOWER TO TUCKER CARLSON: IT’S ‘HIGHLY IMMORAL’ TO CENSOR USERS WITH VACCINE CONCERNS

“This is a private conversation between the company and our employee and we’re going to end the call,” an official responded before ending the virtual meeting.

Kahmann has since launched a GiveSendGo campaign which has raised over $300,000.

On Monday, Project Veritas released internal documents explaining “Vaccine Hesitancy Comment Demotion” which shows the “goal” is to “drastically reduce user exposure to vaccine hesitancy.”

Read full article

“Vaccine Hesitancy” pre-dates COVID-19. Vaccine side effects, injuries, deaths have been reported in adults and children for decades (see 1, 2, 3). They continue to be reported about all COVID vaccines as well, including by celebrity recipients (see 1, 2). Nevertheless every day there is no shortage of marketing both on and off social media to convince people worldwide to “roll up their sleeves” (see 1, 2, 3).

The Memo: Marjorie Taylor Greene exposes GOP establishment's lack of power

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was blasted for antisemitic comments by her party’s top congressional leaders earlier this week.

Two days later, she was celebrating her birthday in front of adoring fans at an event in Georgia.

The split-screen contrast says a lot about where the Republican Party finds itself. And Greene’s rise underlines the GOP establishment’s impotence when it comes to restraining her — even if it wants to.

The latest furor began when the first-term congresswoman drew a parallel between the treatment of Jews at the hands of the Nazis and a supermarket’s decision to add a special logo to the name-badge of vaccinated employees.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) called her remarks “wrong” and “appalling.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) described them as “outrageous and reprehensible.”

But none of it mattered — at least to the large swath of the GOP’s base that buoys up figures like Greene, who might formerly have been confined to the political fringes.

She arrived in a Humvee, amid loud music and cheers, for her Thursday rally with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). Like Greene, Gaetz is an ultra-loyal supporter of former President Trump. He is under investigation for possible sex trafficking.

Greene soon tweeted about the event to her 414,000-plus followers. She included a brief clip of her dramatic entrance and later, quote-tweeting Gaetz, proclaimed it “the BEST birthday party I’ve ever had!”

The previous day, a poll from The Economist/YouGov showed Greene to be significantly more popular among Republican voters than Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) or Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

The poll showed 42 percent of Republican voters holding a favorable view of Greene and only 21 percent viewing her unfavorably. By comparison, just 24 percent had positive feelings toward Romney and only 18 percent felt the same toward Cheney.

The first-term congresswoman — who has in the past suggested that imaginary space lasers controlled by Jews were responsible for California wildfires — is now roughly twice as popular with Republican voters as the GOP’s 2012 presidential nominee.

The same trend can be seen in fundraising. Greene raised $3.2 million in the first three months of this year, a startling sum for a House member first elected in November.

Rahm Emanuel’s China Ties Are ‘Disqualifying’ for Japan Ambassadorship, Hawley Says

Biden's ambassador nominee courted millions in Chinese investment as Chicago mayor

Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) told the Washington Free Beacon Rahm Emanuel's past dealings with China could compromise his effectiveness as President Joe Biden's ambassador to Japan.

As ambassador to Japan, Emanuel would need to coordinate with Tokyo to counter China's regional power, as Japan is widely considered one of America’s most important allies in standing up to China. Republicans said Emanuel's close relationship with Chinese elites warrants serious investigation and could stand in the way of his Senate confirmation. Hawley said Emanuel's "reckless" record in office demonstrates he does not understand the China threat.

"Rahm Emanuel clearly does not understand the China threat and can’t be trusted to serve as ambassador to Japan," Hawley said. "That Joe Biden would attempt to put someone so reckless in charge of relations with one of our most important allies is very concerning."

Emanuel did not respond to a request for comment.

Emanuel made overtures to Chinese business throughout his tenure as mayor of Chicago in the hopes of making the city the "location of choice" in North America for the Communist regime's investors. In one case, the former Obama administration chief of staff secured a contract for the city with a company known for its cooperation with the Chinese military and Huawei. A 2016 contract brokered by Emanuel put the state-owned Chinese transportation giant CRRC to work in upgrading the Chicago transit authority’s railway cars, even though the proposal scored 5 points lower in evaluations compared to competing bids. The transportation company has collaborated with Huawei, an innovator in Chinese spyware, and its data collection capabilities have been shared with the Chinese military, according to a 2019 report.

"Putting a CCP-owned, Huawei-affiliated data harvesting company in charge of building a major American city’s critical infrastructure isn’t just dangerously naïve, for an ambassador to Japan, it’s disqualifying," Hawley said.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Ian Easton, a senior director at the Project 2049 Institute, said Emanuel's cozy relationship with Chinese power players—including the $1.3 billion contract he awarded to a Chinese transportation giant—should give the Biden administration pause.

"Giving American taxpayer money to companies owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party, a militant and genocidal regime, is a dereliction of duty," Easton said. "It's beyond naïve to think Chicago's CCP-made trains won't come with hidden backdoors that collect private data from American riders in peacetime and allow the Chinese military to weaponize the trains against us in a future crisis."
