Up to 100 Afghan Evacuees Are on US Terror Watch List – At Least One Has Ties to ISIS

 

The Democrats are on a mission to destroy America.

 

The Biden administration promised the Afghans evacuated from Kabul this week will be fully vetted yet already we are seeing that is not true.

 

At least 100 evacuees out of thousands who fled the country are currently on the US terror watch list.

At least one evacuee has ties to ISIS.

 

This is what Joe Biden is bringing into your community — and that’s not including the unvetted illegal aliens who are crossing the open US southern border in record numbers.

 

The Daily Mail reported:

 

As many as 100 Afghan evacuees flown out of war-torn Kabul are on intelligence agency watch lists, a United States government official warned on Tuesday as it was revealed one passenger flown out to Qatar has potential ties to ISIS.

 

The Afghans, potential candidates for Special Immigration Visas (SIV), were flagged as possible matches to intelligence agency watch lists by the Defense Department’s Automated Biometric Identification System, an official with the U.S. government told Defense One.

 

The Afghan who has potential ties to ISIS was detected by security screeners at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar after they were evacuated from Kabul Airport, another official told the outlet. There have been 6,000 Afghans taken to the airbase.

 

‘Intelligence, law enforcement, and counterterrorism professionals are conducting screening and security vetting for all SIV applicants and other vulnerable Afghans before they are allowed into the United States,’ a State Department spokesperson told DailyMail.com.

 

‘We are surging resources to evaluate each case and process these as efficiently as possible to protect homeland security.’

 

The State Department declined to confirm to DailyMail.com whether any immigrants have been flagged for having ties to ISIS, and it is unclear if they were processed before or after leaving Kabul.

Election Reform Group VoterGA Sues State of Georgia to Ban Dominion Voting Technology in State Elections

 

Election reform Group VoterGA sued the State of Georgia this week seeking a ban on Dominion Voting Systems technology in the state.

 

VoterGA on Tuesday announced joining with State Rep. Philip Singleton in a legal petition to ban Georgia’s Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 voting system from state elections.

 

According to the Baltimore Post Examiner, the voting system has already been declared in violation of Georgia law by the U.S. District Court of Northern Georgia.

 

The Kemp administration spent over $100 million for the Dominion voting systems in the state back in 2020.

 

The Washington Examiner reported:

 

A self-described election integrity group sued the state of Georgia on Tuesday, seeking a ban on the use of Dominion Voting Systems touchscreen ballot-marking technology across the state.

 

VoterGA, which led a suit against Fulton County for an inspection of 2020 election ballots, asked the Fulton County Superior Court to declare the state’s use of Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 Ballot Marking Device voting systems a violation of state elections law and to enjoin the officials from administrating future elections with those devices.

 

Plaintiffs allege Democracy Suite systems fail to comply with the state’s election code, which provides voting systems must “print an elector verifiable paper ballot” and “produce paper ballots which are marked with the elector’s choices in a format readable by the elector.”

 

The machines in use generate a paper ballot that voters can visually verify, but it also produces a QR code on the paper ballot reflecting the voter’s choices, which cannot be visually verified, according to the lawsuit .

 

Ballot scanners then read the QR code to determine a voter’s selections, and the “written portion of the paper ballot is not used for counting or re-counting the elector’s intent,” the suit said, alleging a legal violation.

Governor Kathy Hochul Acknowledges 12,000 More Deaths in New York From COVID Than Previously Disclosed by Cuomo

 

Newly sworn in Governor Kathy Hochul on Wednesday acknowledged nearly 12,000 more deaths in the state of New York that had been previously disclosed by Andrew Cuomo.

 

New York Governor Kathy Hochul promised more government transparency on her first day in office, and by day’s end her administration had quietly acknowledged nearly 12,000 more deaths in the state from COVID-19 than had been publicized by her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo.

 

New York now reports nearly 55,400 people have died of COVID-19 in New York, based on death certificate data submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up from about 43,400 that Cuomo had reported to the public as of Monday, his last day in office.

 

We reported more than a year ago that former Governor Cuomo instituted policies that ensured nursing homes millions in COVID funds and the resulting deaths of elderly New Yorkers. This was not shared by the mainstream media.

 

Today’s reported deaths are not surprising, they are expected. Actually, it’s doubtful that there aren’t more.

OnlyFans REVERSES adult content ban, says it will provide home for ‘all creators’

 

Subscription service OnlyFans has reversed its decision to ban adult content, which the platform is best known for, less than a week after it announced the change in policy.

 

The un-banning immediately angered some sex workers who likened the reversal to an abusive ex-boyfriend trying to win them back.

 

OnlyFans – which is used mostly, but not exclusively, by amateur sex workers to sell pornographic content – announced last week that it would prohibit content showing sexual intercourse, masturbation, and other explicit acts, though would still allow general nudity.

 

On Wednesday, however, the platform announced that it would be suspending its decision to ban pornography.

 

“Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard. We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change,” the company said on Twitter. It added that it “stands for inclusion” and “will continue to provide a home for all creators.”

 

The original decision had sparked an uproar, with sex workers accusing the platform of ditching the people who helped grow it to please investors, who were concerned about the explicit nature of much of OnlyFans’ content.

 

Far from reassuring sex workers, though, the fresh statement appeared to anger many users who expressed concern about OnlyFans’ flip-flopping.

 

“Do you honestly think that this is going to bring everyone back?” questioned one person. “They took our hard work, built their notoriety, and then threw us to the curb. No ty.”

 

“Even the ‘apology’ texts I got from my abusive ex boyfriend sounded better,” another woman protested.

 

Others claimed that the reversal was “too little too late” and that they had already moved to other platforms which allow pornographic content. OnlyFans – which takes a 20% cut from users – was also criticized for refusing to acknowledge sex workers specifically, instead referring to its largely porn-focused userbase as “creators.”

Ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone claims he was banned from ex-campaign spokesman Jason Miller’s social network Gettr

 

Roger Stone, a former campaign adviser to President Donald Trump, claimed on Wednesday to have been banned from Gettr – a conservative social network created by Jason Miller, another former Trump adviser and campaign spokesman.

 

Stone published a screenshot of his suspended account to rival platform Gab, showing that he had been banned from Gettr for breaking unspecified terms and conditions.

 

“If you were under the illusion that the new social media website GETTR set up by Mueller informant Steve Bannon and his criminal confederate Jason Miller does not engage in censorship perhaps you can explain why they just suspended my account,” Stone declared, before taking several other shots at both Bannon and Miller.

 

In another post, Stone complained that Gettr was “allowing multiple Roger Stone imitators to continue posting,” and said Bannon and “buttboi” Miller would soon “sleep with the fishes, figuratively speaking of course” – though he did not elaborate.

 

Gab also took the opportunity to throw shots at its competitor, which it has accused of not being focused enough on free speech.

 

“Did Gettr’s Big Tech-like censorship AI ban Roger Stone for ‘hate speech,’ which they do not allow in their Big Tech-like Terms of Service, while claiming to be a ‘free speech’ platform?” Gab asked in a statement.

Israel's PM Bennett Says He Will Continue Covert Attacks Against Iran

 

A few days ahead of his meeting with President Biden, Israel’s new Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke with The New York Times and said he will continue covert attacks against Iran and will oppose any US efforts to revive the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA.

 

Israel has a long history of taking covert action against Iran, but Israeli leaders usually aren’t so candid about it. The Times report said that Bennett plans to present Biden with a new "strategic vision" for Iran that includes more "clandestine attacks" on Iran, including what Bennett referred to as "the gray-area stuff."

 

One of Israel’s recent attacks on Iran targeted the Natanz nuclear facility in April. It coincided with the start of indirect negotiations between the US and Iran to revive the JCPOA and was a clear effort by the Israelis to sabotage the talks.

 

Another aspect of Bennett’s vision is for Israel to strengthen ties with Arab countries in the region that oppose Iran. Forming an anti-Iran coalition was part of the reason for the Trump administration-brokered Abraham Accords that led to Israel normalizing with some Arab countries, including the UAE and Bahrain.

 

"What we need to do, and what we are doing, is forming a regional coalition of reasonable Arab countries, together with us, that will fend off and block this expansion and this desire for domination [by Iran]," Bennett said.

 

Bennett favors many of the same policies as his predecessor Benjamin Netanyahu, but he wants to take a different approach. Netanyahu publicly clashed with the Obama administration when the JCPOA was negotiated in 2015, which Bennett hopes to avoid.

 

Bennett said he will continue expanding illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, something the Biden administration says it is against. The Israeli leader also ruled out the idea of peace talks with the Palestinians.

Canada's Trudeau Is Proposing "Fixing" His Country's Housing Bubble With Even More Government Intervention

 

Canadian liberal leader Justin Trudeau has proposed a new slate of measures aimed at helping Canadians buy a home during the post-Covid fueled housing boom that has priced many out of the market.

 

"We need to put an end to speculative housing growth," Trudeau warned this morning.

 

Trudeau said Canada's real estate market has fallen victim to "instability" and "uncertainty" which have led to "soaring prices, bidding wars, rampant speculation and too many vacant properties," according to CBC.

 

Stop us if you've heard this one before: the liberal leader said it's a situation that "demands government intervention" to help people afford homes.

 

Trudeau's plan is going to include billions in new funding and measures to try and stop "flipping" homes. Such measures will including trying to block foreign nationals from buying homes for two years and new regulations to slow "exploitative" real estate agents.

 

We're sure the real estate industry will be thrilled to hear about the changes.

 

The measures come ahead of the country's September election and "when Canadians are telling pollsters that housing is one of the issues they care about most", the report says.

 

Trudeau said this week: "If you work hard, if you save, that dream of having your own place should be in reach. But for too many people, it just isn't — and that's not right. You shouldn't have to move far away from your job or school or family to afford your rent. You shouldn't lose a bidding war on your home to speculators. It's time for things to change."

Beijing Threatens "Counterattack" If White House Report On COVID Origins Blames Wuhan Lab Leak

 

Back in May, President Biden gave the intelligence community 90 days to produce a report on the likely origins of SARS-CoV-2, and the president promised to share the findings with the public, no matter how inflammatory.

 

Well, the 90-day window is nearly up, and it looks like the intelligence community has made good on its promise. Case in point: the first details of the report have been leaked to the Washington Post, which reported on Wednesday that the ultimate finding is "inconclusive".

 

This means the administration couldn't find enough evidence to support both of the leading theories: That the virus hopped from an animal to a human, or that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While the notion that COVID leaked from a lab was once hyper-sensitive (indeed, Zero Hedge was banned from Twitter for daring to suggest that the WIV played a role in infecting the world with COVID), it's now reportedly become the leading scenario in the eyes of the intelligence community (though they seem unwilling to publicly admit this).

 

WaPo says the Intelligence community will seek to de-classify the report in the coming days, meaning it will likely dominate the news cycle later in the week.

 

Biden asked America's spy agencies to get to the bottom of the issue after receiving a report back in May from the intelligence agencies saying that they had "coalesced around two likely scenarios" but had not yet reached a conclusion. A group of scientists also published an open letter earlier this year declaring a lab leak to be the most likely scenario.

 

Judging from comments made by leaders of the intelligence community, it almost seems like they don't want to know the truth.

 

During an interview with Yahoo News back in June, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines argued that the mystery of COVID's origins might never be solved. “We’re hoping to find a smoking gun…. but “it’s challenging to do that…"it might happen, but it might not."

 

China has of course done everything in its power to stymie international inquiries into the origins of the virus. After sabotaging the first WHO investigation, Beijing has advised that it will treat the next delegation of scientists no differently

 

On Wednesday, with the Biden Administration report set to be released in a matter of days, a senior Chinese bureaucrat warned during a press conference that Beijing would "retaliate" if the intelligence report fingers a lab leak from the WHO.

 

"We will continue to cooperate with international organizations like the WHO in their research and in their search for the origins," said Fu Cong, director-general of the Foreign Ministry’s Arms Control Department. "But we do not accept baseless and unfounded accusations that are politically motivated. And if they want to baselessly accuse China, so they better be prepared to accept the counterattack from China."

 

It wasn't clear just how Beijing would retaliate: some speculated it could do so by sending even deadlier virus variants, or by intentionally closing down shipping ports.

Pentagon Orders Military Servce Members To "Immediately" Get Covid Vaccine

 

On Monday, just hours after the Pfizer vaccine was granted FDA approval, the Pentagon announced that it was set to require vaccinations for all service members. Except, around one-third of US service members have refused the jab. In July, between 60% and 70% of personnel were fully vaccinated - with the Navy being the most vaccinated and the Marines being the least, according to the Washington Post.

 

So fast forward to today when in an apparent gamble that could see a third of the US military resign en masse, defense secretary Lloyd Austin ordered service members to “immediately begin” receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a Pentagon memo released Wednesday.

 

“To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force. After careful consultation with medical experts and military leadership, and with the support of the President, I have determined that mandatory vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is necessary to protect the Force and defend the American people,” Austin wrote in the memo seen by Reuters.

 

No timeline was given for when troops are required to get the shot, but Austin said he directed service branch secretaries “to impose ambitious timelines for implementation," and to report to him regularly on their progress.

 

Roughly 800,000 active duty, National Guard and Ready Reserve troops have yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the latest numbers from the Defense Department. But with the Food and Drug Administration giving full approval to the Pfizer vaccine earlier this this week, Austin was able to add it to the list of 17 required shots service members must get when they enter the military or before they deploy overseas.

 

As we noted two weeks ago, according to a 2018 DoD military demographics report (p. 40), the average active-duty military member is 28.2-years old, which according to The Economist's estimated Covid-19 risk calculator, puts the risk of death for active-duty men at less than 0.1%, and hospitalization at 2.6%. For active-duty women, the risk of death is also less than 0.1%, and hospitalization 1.6%.

 

In addition to the extremely low mortality rate - combined with the fact that vaccinated individuals can still contract and transmit Covid-19, albeit at lower rates, perhaps the largely young and fit members of the military aren't about to change their mind - except now they may lose their jobs.

Delta To Impose $200 Monthly Fine On Unvaccinated Employees

 

Delta Airlines will fine employees who refuse to take the Covid-19 vaccine $200 per month, which will be applied towards the company sponsored healthcare plan.

 

The airline will become the first major US company to levy a penalty for unvaccinated employees, according to Bloomberg.

 

The new policy was outlined in a company memo Wednesday from Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian, who said 75% of the carrier’s workers already are vaccinated. Increasing cases of coronavirus linked to a “very aggressive” variant are driving the push for all employees to get the shots, he said. -Bloomberg

 

Unvaccinated employees have until November 1st to get the jab, while the company will also mandate weekly testing for anyone not vaccinated by mid-September.

As They Ban People for Citing Pfizer’s Own Data, Judge Finds Twitter Profited from Child Porn

 

Late last month, Alex Berenson, a prominent skeptic of the government’s response to COVID-19, was unceremoniously banned from Twitter for a week. His crime? He cited Pfizer’s own clinical trial data.

 

“Blocked again, for a week this time,” Berenson said on his Substack. “For this tweet, which is completely accurate and does nothing but quote PFIZER’S OWN CLINICAL TRIAL DATA.”

 

After pulling the misleading tag, Berenson was banned and given no means of recourse.

 

Sadly, Berenson is not alone in his struggle to apply critical thought to the current tyrannical and outright unscientific madness unfolding in front of our eyes. In the last few months, TFTP has been shadow banned and have watched in real time as our organic reach dwindles to almost nothing. The big tech censors are actively snubbing out those who don’t line up to unquestioningly accept everything the mainstream media and the government tell us.

FBI Palantir glitch allowed unauthorized access to private data

 

A computer glitch in a secretive software program used by the FBI allowed some unauthorized employees to access private data for more than a year, prosecutors revealed in a new court filing.

 

The screw-up in the Palantir program — a software created by a sprawling data analytics company co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel — was detailed in a letter by prosecutors in the Manhattan federal court case against accused hacker Virgil Griffith.

 

Data recovered from Griffith’s Facebook and Twitter accounts, which was obtained through a federal search warrant in March 2020, was accessed on Palantir for more than a year by at least four FBI employees, all of whom work outside New York and were not investigating the case, prosecutors wrote.

 

The FBI case agent assigned to Griffith’s case was alerted to the unauthorized access earlier this month, when another agent emailed him and said an analyst accessed the search warrant material on Palantir, according to the letter.

 

“An FBI analyst, in the course of conducting a separate investigation, had identified communications between the defendant and the subject of that other investigation by means of searches on the Platform that accessed the Search Warrant Returns,” the feds wrote in the letter filed Tuesday.

 

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan determined the FBI employees — three analysts and an agent — were able to view the material because it was entered in Palantir through the program’s default settings.

 

“When data is loaded onto the Platform, the default setting is to permit access to the data to other FBI personnel otherwise authorized to access the Platform,” prosecutors wrote in the letter.

 

The material was accessed at least four times from May 2020 to August 2021, according to the letter.

 

The employees who accessed the data told prosecutors that they did not recall using the information in their investigations.

 

Manhattan prosecutors instructed Palantir employees to delete the data on Aug. 17 and said they do not intend on using the information in their case against Griffith, according to the letter.

LA firefighter under investigation after vowing to fight back against vaccine mandate: 'This is tyranny'

 

A Los Angeles Fire Department captain is under investigation after he publicly criticized a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for city employees that was approved by the Los Angeles City Council.

 

LAFD Capt. Christian Granucci, a 31-year veteran of the LAFD, posted a video to social media on Monday in which he railed against the vaccine mandate. The video was purportedly recorded at work, and Granucci was wearing a LAFD T-shirt and baseball cap.

 

In the more than 12-minute video, Granucci said that he is "so hopping mad" that his "head could pop."

 

"This is not about politics. This is not about left or right. This is not about red versus blue. This is not about Republican versus Democrat. This isn't even about vaccinated versus unvaccinated," Granucci said. "This is tyranny. This is about freedom of choice."

 

Later in the video, Granucci expressed anger at top LAFD brass and union leadership for not intervening to stop city firefighters from being forced to get vaccinated or comply with mandatory COVID testing.

 

Granucci also promised legal action. He explained "hundreds" of firefighters have a lawyer, whom Granucci described as a "shark," on retainer.

 

"This is a fight for freedom of choice — free will. This is a fight against tyranny," Granucci said. "Make no bones about it, we have an uphill battle."

Biden White House Approves Licensing Deal For Chinese Communist Party-Linked Huawei, Reversing Trump-Era Hardline.

 

The Biden White House granted the Chinese Communist Party-linked firm Huawei – which was crippled by Trump-era sanctions – licenses to purchase American auto chips, according to reports.

 

The decision follows the Beijing-backed tech firm hiring several lobbyists, including the brother of Biden’s White House Counselor Steve Ricchetti and CNN guests who have pushed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

 

“U.S. officials have approved license applications worth hundreds of millions of dollars for China’s blacklisted telecom company Huawei to buy chips for its growing auto component business, two people familiar with the matter said,” Reuters reported.

 

The reported approval follows a Trump-era crackdown on the telecommunications firm, which has extensive links to both the Chinese Communist Party. Labeled a “national security threat” by the Trump administration and a decades-long Chinese military collaborator by the U.S. Department of Defense, Huawei routinely provides the regime backdoor access to its products, networks, and devices.

 

Former President Donald Trump’s State Department also emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party uses Huawei as an “instrument not only for making money but also for pursuing the Party-State’s agenda and fulfilling its strategic objectives […] deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally.”

 

The Biden White House, however, has taken a considerably softer approach to the company, as Reuters notes:

 

Huawei, the world’s largest telecommunications equipment maker, has been hobbled by trade restrictions imposed by the Trump administration on the sale of chips and other components used in its network gear and smartphones businesses. The Biden administration has been reinforcing the hard line on exports to Huawei, denying licenses to sell chips to Huawei for use in or with 5g devices. But in recent weeks and months, people familiar with the application process told Reuters the U.S. has granted licenses authorizing suppliers to sell chips to Huawei for such vehicle components as video screens and sensors.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Biden Must Resettle At Least 200K Afghans in U.S.

 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) says President Joe Biden’s administration must resettle at least 200,000 Afghans across the United States as part of its withdrawal from Afghanistan.

 

In an interview with The Independent, Ocasio-Cortez urged Biden to set a floor of 200,000 visas for Afghans to be evacuated from Afghanistan and brought to the U.S. for permanent resettlement and eventual naturalized American citizenship.

 

Should Biden implement such a plan, resettling 200,000 Afghans would be the equivalent of bringing 4.5 percent of the total number of Afghans residing in Kabul, Afghanistan, to the U.S.

 

Ocasio-Cortez stated:

 

“I believe we need to move and the administration needs to move as quickly as possible and as expansively as possible ensuring that we are raising the amount of refugee visas to whatever amount is necessary,” the self-described democratic socialist congresswoman told The Independent. [Emphasis added]

 

“I would say the rock bottom is 200,000, but I think it should be whatever is necessary,” Ms Ocasio-Cortez said. “And that needs to be expedited as soon as possible.” [Emphasis added]

 

Even as the Biden administration continues expanding the number of Afghans set to be resettled across the U.S. — the president has said up to 65,000 are eligible for resettlement — House and Senate Democrats have urged more Afghans should be evacuated.

 

Thus far, at least 10 Republican governors have urged Biden to resettle Afghans in their states, including South Carolina’s Henry McMaster, Maryland’s Larry Hogan, Massachusetts’ Charlie Baker, Utah’s Spencer Cox, Georgia’s Brian Kemp, Arkansas’ Asa Hutchinson, Arizona’s Doug Ducey, Iowa’s Kim Reynolds, Oklahoma’s Kevin Stitts, and Vermont’s Phil Scott.

 

Unmentioned by Ocasio-Cortez is the cost of refugee resettlement to American taxpayers, where citizens are billed nearly $9 billion every five years to resettle refugees. Likewise, each refugee costs roughly $133,000 over the course of their lifetime in the U.S.

#Together: 200 British Business, Faith, and Political Leaders Launch Campaign Against Vaccine Passports

 

A group of over 200 businesses, faith, and political leaders in Britain have joined with doctors and healthcare staff to denounce any imposition of vaccine passports.

 

On Wednesday afternoon, the Reclaim and Reform (formerly the Brexit Party) parties, alongside NHS staff, entrepreneurs, business leaders, sports professionals, media personalities, musicians set out the ‘Together Declaration’, which states that the introduction of vaccine passports or any form of digital identification would compromise the rights and freedoms of the British people.

 

In a press conference held in London on Wednesday afternoon, bar owner and nightlife lobbyist Alan Miller said that he joined the campaign because “the idea that we have a discriminatory two-tiered society where we have security guards asking people for some of the most sensitive information was just too much.”

 

Miller stressed his view that the Together coalition is made up of people from a wide range of political opinions and that it is important for the people of the country to sign the petition to express their opposition to vaccine passports and digital ideas.

 

Author Laura Dodsworth noted that vaccine passports were deemed to be against British values and discriminatory by the government’s own vaccine minister Nadhim Zahwahi, who said in February “That’s not how we do things in the UK. We do them by consent.”

 

Dodsworth said that vaccine passports “will exclude, divide, compromise privacy, and create a medical ‘papers please’ checkpoint society.

 

“At the very least, they set the precedent for future erosion of health privacy and checkpoints. But given the lack of clarity and consistency from the government about vaccine passports, it’s easy to imagine them leading to a permanent form of digital ID,” she warned.
