Maskless Nancy Pelosi Pictured Hanging Out with George Soros and Son This Past Weekend

Birds of a feather flock together.

Nancy Pelosi was hanging out with the Soros family this past weekend, George and son Alexander.

Of course, masks were optional. They did not expect any photo ops for the plebes.

Maybe they were celebrating the collapse of US superpower status following Biden’s Afghanistan debacle?

America Last: Joe Biden Expected to Waive Sanctions on Syria to Allow Pipeline Project to Hezbollah-Controlled Lebanon

On his first day in office, Joe Biden killed off 42,100 jobs by ending construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and the end of construction of the Trump border wall.

Then in May Joe Biden waived sanctions on Russia’s gas pipeline to Germany.

And now the Biden administration is expected to waive sanctions on Syria to allow an energy deal with Hezbollah terrorists that includes an oil pipeline through Syria to Lebanon.

Joe Biden is now putting terrorist regimes before Americans.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

The Biden administration is expected to waive sanctions on Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad to facilitate an energy deal with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, according to congressional sources briefed on the matter.

The administration wants to waive portions of the bipartisan Caesar Act, which applied wide-ranging sanctions on Assad for his war crimes in Syria, to facilitate an energy deal with Arab nations that would provide the Assad regime with a financial and political lifeline.

Brett McGurk, the White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa who was caught having an extramarital affair with a reporter in 2008 while serving as the Obama administration’s ambassadorial nominee to Iraq, is pressing Egypt to sell gas to Lebanon via a pipeline that runs through Syria, congressional sources told the Washington Free Beacon. The Biden administration would have to waive key sanctions on Assad in order for the deal to go through.

As Biden and Democrats in Congress signal a willingness to back sanctions relief, Republican foreign policy leaders say removing sanctions on Assad will embolden his Iranian backers as well as Hezbollah. Indeed, Hezbollah itself sees the deal as a victory in its fight against U.S. sanctions and efforts to expand the Islamic Republic’s influence across the Middle East, saying it will loosen restrictions on all three countries involved: Syria, Iran, and Lebanon.

Biden Admin DISCONNECTS State Department Help Line for Americans or SIV Holders Stranded in Afghanistan Seeking to Escape Terrorist Regime

This is just stunning!

On Wednesday Newsmax host Heather Childers played audio live on her show of a State Department voicemail from a line that had been disconnected. The phone number was listed to receive calls from Americans stranded in Afghanistan and attempting to return home to the United States.

The Biden administration DISCONNECTED the line!

Heather Childers played it all on Newsmax. Here is the message:

State Department recorded voice: You’ve reached the Department of State number formerly used to provide general information on the Afghan special immigrant visa, or SIV program. This number is not currently operational. Please visit… (webstite)

This is what the Biden administration thinks of those Americans stranded in Afghanistan.

Voter Integrity Groups are Analyzing Video Evidence of Ballot Trafficking on Massive Scale in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan

Radio host John Fredericks joined Steve Bannon earlier this month to discuss an EXPLOSIVE development in Georgia.

According to John Fredericks, investigators now have video of 240 leftist operatives he called “ballot traffickers” dumping tens of thousands of ballots into drop boxes in the middle of the night in locations across Georgia.

The leftist operatives were identified making numerous drops in the middle of the night. They were filmed emptying their backpacks of ballots into the drop boxes in the middle of the night. Ballot harvesting is not legal in Georgia. This was criminal behavior caught on video!

True the Vote and OPSEC Group have copies of the video and are promising to release it in the near future.

Heather Mullins from Real Americas Voice broke this news earlier this month on the John Fredericks radio show. There is video that captures 240 ballot traffickers in Georgia. Each of the traffickers averaged 23-24 drops where they would empty backpacks into the ballot boxes. This is completely illegal. No harvesting is allowed in Georgia.

This was a massive organized effort by the American left to commit fraud.

Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote are behind this investigation and it involves SEVERAL STATES.

Advertisement - story continues below

Breitbart reported on this investigation in August–

The document says that True The Vote has spent the last several months since late last year collecting more than 27 terabytes of geospatial and temporal data—a total of 10 trillion cell phone pings—between Oct. 1 and Nov. 6 in targeted areas in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The data includes geofenced points of interest like ballot dropbox locations, as well as UPS stores and select government, commercial, and non-governmental organization (NGO) facilities.

“From this we have thus far developed precise patterns of life for 242 suspected ballot traffickers in Georgia and 202 traffickers in Arizona,” True The Vote’s document says. “According to the data, each trafficker went to an average of 23 ballot dropboxes.”

In other words, what the document says is that True The Vote was able to take cell phone ping data on a mass wide scale and piece together that several people—suspected ballot harvesters—were making multiple trips to multiple drop boxes, raising potential legal questions in a number of these states.

From there, the document continues, True The Vote gathered surveillance video on the drop boxes in Georgia and is attempting to gather similar such surveillance video from other states. The document states that True The Vote has obtained one full petabyte of surveillance footage on drop boxes—two million minutes of video—which it says is broken into 73,000 individual video files. The group is expected to begin releasing some of these videos, which purportedly show the same people going multiple times to the same drop boxes, in the coming weeks.

Heather noted that this investigation covers NUMEROUS swing states including Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. And Heather says the investigation will soon be going public with evidence of illegal activity.

Heather released a photo of one of the late-night ballot traffickers in Georgia.

Australian Health Official Shocks Sydney With "New World Order" Comment

Now that Sydney's adult vaccination rate is finally nearing 70%, local officials have started to share plans for reopening the city's economy, allowing patrons to return to bars, restaurants and gyms (in limited numbers, and with proof of vaccination). But they have also caused widespread concern by referring to a "new world order" in post-lockdown Australia.

New South Wales state Premier Gladys Berejiklian said during a media briefing in Sydney on Thursday that Sydney's cafes, restaurants and pubs are set to reopen in the second half of October after months of strict COVID-19 lockdown.

In keeping with Australia's modest shift away from the "COVID Zero" ideology, Berejiklian said leaders must "hold their nerve" as cases are almost guaranteed to rise after the reopening (though mostly continued to climb despite the lockdown, anyway). Some restrictions for the fully vaccinated will be lifted on Monday, as the first step toward reopening for businesses will arrive shortly afterward.

Despite its lockdown efforts, Australia has seen cases continue to climb in the two months since Sydney started what was supposed to be a temporary "snap" lockdown.

While this might seem like the light at the end of the tunnel, there's a catch: Berejiklian said she expects cases to rise when restrictions ease, and warned that more "localized" lockdowns would follow.

"If there is a concentration of disease in any suburb." Lockdown rules in several regions outside greater Sydney have been lifted from Saturday due to low case numbers out there.

Another NSW official triggered a backlash on Thursday when she referred to a "New World Order" that will be established after the lockdown conditions hsve been lifted. Dr. Kerry Chant, the Chief Health Officer of New South Wales made the remark while outlining new vaccine requirements for workers and customers when the city reopens.

Both parties at reopened businesses would have to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, Dr. Chant announced, and workplaces would “have some system of checking that.” But it was her next comment that really stirred up a storm.

"We will be looking at what contact tracing looks like in the new world order," she said.

The clip spread like wildfire on social media in Australia and the UK.

Some users pointed out that this wasn’t the first time an NSW official had used the term during a COVID-related press conference. Minister for Health Brad Hazzard described the pandemic as a “new world order” in July 2020. "This is a world pandemic, it’s a one in a 100-year event, so you can expect that we will have transmission from time to time, and that’s just the way it is. We’ve got to accept that this is the new world order," Hazzard said during a conference, following an outbreak of cases.

The ABC reported last month that Hazzard’s statements had sparked a wave of conspiracy theory videos on TikTok and other platforms. Sydney has been on continuous lockdown since June. And while Australians will be relieved to see some of their freedoms returned to them, in the post-COVID era, things will never be the same as they were - and new "localized lockdowns" can still be imposed at any time.

Not to worry, Twitter and YouTube are here to set conspiracy theorists straight about said thing that doesn't exist.

Rand Paul Calls For "Five Years In Jail" For Fauci Lying To Congress

“I find that hard to believe that we still would have someone with such poor judgment, who believes that even a pandemic would be worth it, that this person is in charge of the research for our government, I find that astounding,” Paul declared.

“The judgment that we should continue to fund this lab and—that the virus in all likelihood came from the lab. I think it’s such incredibly poor judgment that he should be immediately removed,” Paul added.

The Senator added, “We’ve referred it to the Department of Justice. I don’t think Biden’s Department of Justice will do anything with it but yes, it is very dangerous to have public officials who we need to have trust in coming and lying to us, but [Fauci] has lied dozens of times.”

Paul continued:

“Usually, he tells us that it’s for our own good but yes, he has dissembled, he has obfuscated—there’s other nicer words—but he has definitely lied to the American public and he should be held responsible but not just that.”

Mexico’s Supreme Court Decriminalizes Abortion

Mexico’s supreme court on Tuesday decriminalized abortion, ruling that punishing the act runs against the country’s constitution.

“From now on, you will not be able to, without violating the court’s criteria and the constitution, charge any woman who aborts under the circumstances this court has ruled as valid,” Arturo Zaldivar, president of the National Supreme Court of Justice, said after the ruling.

Those circumstances will be clarified when the decision is published, but everything points to that referring to abortions carried out within the first 12 weeks of a pregnancy, the period allowed in the four states where abortion is already legal.

More than a million abortions are done each year in Mexico but most outside of Mexico City, where first-trimester abortion was decriminalized years ago, are done clandestinely, according to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute.

Abortion has been a crime in Mexico since at least 1931, according to Human Rights Watch. Federal law made abortion punishable by as many as six years in prison, with women ending their pregnancy and doctors carrying out the procedure both being liable for charges.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador later said the decision, which came from 10 judges with the 11th absent, should be respected.

The judges annulled several provisions of a law from Coahuila, a state that shares a border with Texas.

Coahuila’s government said in a statement that the ruling would have a retroactive effect and ordered the release of any women who were jailed for abortion.

Leon Cooperman: "When The Market Finally Goes Down, It Will Move So Fast Your Head Will Spin"

Coop says he's keeping an eye out for "a lot of things…for a signal of change," including Fed Speak, inflation, market action, the action at gold or bitcoin, the dollar exchange rate and interest rates overall.

"Market structure is broken," Cooperman added.

"When there's a real fundamental reason for the market to go down, it's going to go down so fast you're head is going to spin. There's no stabilizing forces in the market right now. When the market goes down, it'll move so fast your head will spin. It's all algorithms."

He acknowledged that his biggest position is a "contrary view", adding that he was long-energy heading into 2021.

"The Fed is creating the environment for this to go forward. There's a theory going around that the government can't allow interest rates to rise because they can't afford it…but I don't buy into that theory. There's got to be an interest on bonds…otherwise there's no financial incentive…I'd rather take a chance on a common stock."

"I don't want to take a chance on a bond, I don't want to see my capital confiscated," he added.

Biden to make vaccines MANDATORY for federal workers, with no option for regular testing — reports

President Joe Biden has signed an executive order requiring all federal workers and contractors to be vaccinated against Covid-19, according to multiple reports. The order is one of several measures Biden is expected to announce.

Biden signed the order on Thursday, hours before he was due to give a speech laying out a “six-pronged” strategy to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Associated Press reported, citing an anonymous source.

The order requires all federal workers and contractors doing business with the government to be vaccinated, with no option to undergo regular testing instead. It represents a toughening of earlier rules rolled out by Biden this summer, which required federal employees to be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing for the disease.

It is unclear whether exemptions will be made for workers objecting on medical or religious grounds, and indoor mask mandates in federal buildings will likely remain in place, given the fact that the rapidly-spreading Delta variant of Covid-19 can spread among the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.

Mending the fence? Capitol security barrier may make a comeback as police fear violence at ‘Justice for J6’ rally in DC – media

A large metal security fence may return to the US Capitol just two months after it was brought down, several outlets reported, amid concerns of violence at an upcoming rally to support those charged over the January 6 riot in DC.

Though the seven-foot-tall steel barrier was only removed from the Capitol in mid-July – first erected in the wake of unrest on January 6 – it is likely to make a comeback ahead of the ‘Justice for J6’ demonstration set for September 18, according to sources cited by the Associated Press, Politico and CNN.

Though security plans for the rally have yet to be finalized, Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger has recommended new fencing in discussions with officials, Politico reported, noting that the request is likely to be granted.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) declined to discuss “specifics” about the security arrangements in comments to reporters on Wednesday, but said “We intend to have the integrity of the Capitol be intact.”

The tentative plan, however, reportedly calls for fencing along streets directly adjacent to the Capitol building and Supreme Court, but would not place barriers around congressional office buildings that dot the area.

The heightened state of alert comes as next week’s ‘Justice for J6’ event fast approaches. The protest is meant to support the some 600 people charged for alleged participation in the Capitol riot – deemed “political prisoners” by rally organizer Matt Braynard.

While anonymously sourced reports relying on “intelligence gathered by federal officials” have warned that “far right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers” would attend the rally and potentially provoke violence, Braynard has insisted the event would remain peaceful and that he’d coordinated with local police for more than a month.

“There is no possibility of violence from our peaceful protest,” Braynard told Newsweek, adding that he previously organized “two similar rallies in DC – at the Department of Justice and at the prison where these political prisoners are being held. These events occurred without incident.”

Braynard, a one-time campaign operative for ex-president Donald Trump, also urged attendees from promoting any particular candidate or political movement at the rally, suggesting it could distract from the overall message about those charged for the DC riot.

Moreover, the Proud Boys – one of the allegedly “far right” groups officials expect to attend the rally – has strongly urged members not to show up.

“If you rally in DC right now, you’re an idiot and you’re going to get people thrown in jail or worse,” the group’s primary Telegram account wrote in a post earlier this week, later adding “We will not be attending this guaranteed disaster,” while linking to a news story about the September 18 demo.

Defense Sec. Austin admits al Qaeda might come back and fill the void the Biden administration created in Afghanistan with the Taliban

The world has already witnessed and decried the chaos President Joe Biden's administration created in Afghanistan with its botched pullout of the U.S. presence in the South Asian nation where American and international forces kept the Taliban and other terrorists at bay for two decades following the attacks of 9/11.

Tens of thousands of people scrambled to escape the disaster.

Americans were left stranded.

Afghan allies were betrayed.

International military partners were stunned.

Private groups that chartered flights to help rescue people abandoned by the U.S. were hampered by the State Department.

Now, as many analysts on both the right and the left had warned, bad actors are poised to take advantage of the Afghan government that is now controlled by the Taliban, which is installing its own terrorists in positions of power.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was forced to admit Thursday that al Qaeda might just make a comeback in the vacuum the Biden administration created, the Associated Press reported.

That's right, the same terror group that used Afghanistan as a staging area to attack the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, while under the protection of the Taliban, the organization America just left in charge in Afghanistan, may well make a return to power in the same place under the same ruling group.

Austin made the admission during a small press gaggle in Kuwait City, ABC News said, while also claiming the government is prepared to prevent any return to power by al Qaeda that could threaten the U.S.

"I think the whole community is kind of watching to see what happens and whether or not al Qaeda has the ability to regenerate in Afghanistan," the secretary told reporters.

People need to understand, he indicated, that this is just the nature of the beast.

"The nature of al Qaeda and ISIS-K is that, you know, they will always attempt to find space to grow and regenerate, whether it's there, whether it's in Somalia, whether it's in any other ungoverned space," Austin said. "I think that's the nature of the organization."

And it's not just the United States that is worried about an al Qaeda return.

Though the Taliban pledged to the Trump administration in 2020 not to support al Qaeda or other extremist groups, officials from the U.S. and many other nations, including several Gulf Arab states, ABC News reported, believe the organization maintains ties to al Qaeda and worry that the Taliban's return to power will invite an al Qaeda resurgence.

But never fear. Our government has "put the Taliban on notice that we expect them to not allow that to happen," Austin added.

Though the Biden administration has downplayed talks about putting forces back on the ground in the region, the secretary did say that "we do have the ability to address threats … using over-the-horizon capability" and that "our capability has evolved dramatically over the last 20 years."

Despite his claims that the military can contain al Qaeda with "surveillance and strike aircraft based elsewhere," ABC News said, Austin acknowledged that it will be more difficult without U.S. troops and intelligence teams based in Afghanistan.

Chinese National Jailed For Smuggling US Marine Tech to China

A Chinese national and businessman has been handed a two-year prison sentence and a $20,000 fine after admitting to illegally exporting more than $100,000 in U.S. marine technology to a Chinese military research institute that has close ties with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) military.

Shuren Qin, a 45-year-old marine biologist and founder of LinkOcean Technologies, a company that sells oceanographic instruments, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Denise Casper in Boston on Sept. 8. In April, he pleaded guilty to 10 counts, including one count of conspiracy to unlawfully export U.S. anti-submarine warfare devices to China’s Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU).

The Chinese military research institute, located in the northwestern Chinese city of Xi’an, works closely with the People’s Liberation Army on the advancement of its military capabilities, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement.

The U.S. Department of Commerce lists NWPU as an entity posing national security concerns for its involvement in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles, and missile proliferation projects.

Qin, who resides in Wellesley, Massachusetts, was arrested in June 2018 and pleaded guilty on April 28 to one count of unlawful exporting, as well as “one count of visa fraud; two counts of making false statements to law enforcement agents regarding his customers and the types of parts he caused to be exported from the United States to the People’s Republic of China (PRC); four counts of money laundering; and two counts of smuggling hydrophones from the U.S. to the PRC.”

From 2015 to 2016, Qin illegally exported to China at least 60 hydrophones; devices that can be used to monitor sound underwater, prosecutors said.

Due to national security risks, the U.S. Commerce Department requires that a company obtain an export license in order to ship U.S. goods to foreign entities posing a national security concern. Prosecutors said that Qin exported the devices to China, and in doing so, purposely concealed from his U.S. supplier that the hydrophones were going to NWPU.

Qin’s attorneys argued that he was not aware of NWPU’s intentions with the devices, which also include civilian, scientific uses alongside the military ones.

“These are not top-secret technologies,” said Qin’s lawyer, Sara Silva.

Prosecutors initially also accused Qin of exporting unmanned surface vehicles and robotic boats, alleging that he had supplied $8 million in goods to Chinese government-controlled entities from 2015 to 2018. They had also sought a sentence of 7-1/2 years jail.

Qin has admitted only to the charges concerning the 60 hydrophones worth $100,000. His guilty plea was conditional on allowing him to appeal against the judge’s ruling to not suppress evidence against him.

‘Hundreds’ Of Headless Goat Carcasses Reportedly Dumped Into Georgia River, Investigators Suspect Satanic Santeria Rituals

Why has this been ignored for so long?

A local Georgia news outlet has been investigating reports of “hundreds” of headless goat carcasses seen floating in the Chattahoochee River.

According to WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News, someone has been dumping “hundreds of decapitated goats” into the river for years. “Lately it’s become a lot more frequent.”

WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News reported on their investigation into several headless goat carcasses seen floating in the Chattahoochee River in Georgia. Channel 2 reporter Dave Huddleston paired up with Jason Ulseth, who works for the environmental group the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper.

ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News is investigating headless goats found floating in the Chattahoochee River. Someone has dumped hundreds of decapitated goats over the past few years.

The two traveled along the river when they noticed the decapitated carcass of a goat floating in the water near the Interstate 20 bridge on the border of Fulton County and Cobb County. “There’s a goat,” said Ulseth.

In the video of the report, the two encounter multiple goat carcasses as they cruise up the river. “Lately it’s become a lot more frequent, and on Friday we were out here and saw 30 of them floating down the river,” Ulseth said. (READ MORE: New Jersey Doctor Accused Of Sacrificing Animals For Satanic ‘Santeria’ Witchcraft Rituals)

A witness provided cell phone video footage of the goats being dumped into the river from a I-20 bridge. The video shows the carcasses splashing into the river after being dumped off the bridge, however it is unclear who was behind it. “He actually hears the body splashing down, not only in the middle of the night, but he told me he hears them in the middle of the day,” Ulseth said.

“These goats have to be coming from somewhere, but we haven’t been able to determine who’s buying the goats, who’s providing the goats or actually how they are making their way here in the river,” said Ulseth.

It is now believed that the situation stems from satanic Santeria ritual blood sacrifices.

In 2019, Channel 2 Action News did a story about people leaving dead chickens, goats’ heads and coconuts near railroad tracks in metro Atlanta.

It turns out it was part of a religious ceremony for the followers of Santeria, a religion that mixes West African culture with Cuban Catholicism.

Channel 2 talked to a Shango priest in 2019, who explained the significance of the goats.

“We use a he goat as also a victory. Then we use she goat for the baby, for the for also for the blessing. That is the significance of all these animals that we use,”Akinton Shingods Anjoula said.

The local news outlet had reached out to law enforcement for answers, but the Georgia State Patrol and Fulton County Police told them they didn’t have any reports about the headless goats. They are currently waiting for an open records request from Cobb County Police.

“Over the past couple of years, I’ve seen a couple hundred, but never more than 20 to 30 at one given time like we’ve started to see here lately,” Ulseth said. “This is drinking water for 5 million people, and we all have to do our part to take care of it.”

GOP Nominee Glenn Youngkin Blames White Supremacists for Virginia’s Crime Increase in New Campaign Ad

Republican candidate adopts woke left wing talking point to smear white people

GOP nominee for Governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin appears to be blaming white supremacists for the Commonwealth’s rising rates of crime, releasing a new campaign ad crediting the type of “hatred” and “evil” displayed by condemned mass shooter Dylann Roof with Virginia’s soaring annual number of murders under Democrat leadership.

The Youngkin campaign ad, titled “A New Direction,” takes a softer tone on law and order, casting Youngkin as a “compassionate leader” as described by Jarrat resident Rose Simmons, whose father was killed by mass shooter Dylann Roof at the Emmanuel Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC. The ad has drawn the ire of grassroots conservatives around Virginia and online, many of whom accuse Youngkin of employing left-wing hysteria tactics surrounding white supremacists in an effort to virtue signal to voters who wouldn’t ordinarily support a Republican candidate.

“It was hatred that killed my father and eight others in a church Bible study,” Ms. Simmons tells viewers as the Youngkin for Governor ad begins. “That type of evil is driving the rising crime here, in Virginia.”

“Right now, all of our communities are at a crossroads,” Simmons continues. “That’s why we need Glenn Youngkin. I know Glenn, he is a compassionate leader who knows how to unify Virginians and create the change we need to protect our communities. We need a new direction and a new Governor. For me, that’s Glenn Youngkin.”

Conservatives blasted the ad online, with Scott Greer posting to Twitter that the ad “implies white supremacists are causing the crime increase in the state,” and later linking to an article profiling donations made by Youngkin to the extreme-left Southern Poverty Law Center when he served as CEO of The Carlyle Group.

Senate Armed Services Committee To Hold Open Hearings With Secretary Austin, Gen. Milley And Gen. McKenzie

The Senate Armed Services Committee announced Thursday it will hold open hearings on President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and is asking for sworn testimony from Secretary Lloyd Austin, Gen. Mark Milley and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie.

Republican Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, the chairman of the committee, sent out a press release with the dates of the hearings and released separate statements. The Daily Caller first reported Wednesday that a group of Senate Republicans sent a letter to Reed demanding he hold hearings on Biden’s withdrawal and asking for sworn testimony from Austin, Milley, McKenzie and Gen. Scott Miller.

The letter was signed by nine other Republicans. In it, they called on Reed to schedule committee hearings so they can examine Biden and his administration’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan after 13 U.S. service members were killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport.

In the Thursday announcement, Reed said it is Congress’s job to provide oversight and examine what decisions were made in pulling out of Afghanistan.

“Although we have completed the withdrawal of American military personnel and over 100,000 civilians from Afghanistan, I remain deeply concerned about the events that accompanied our withdrawal and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. It is the duty of Congress—and the Senate Armed Services Committee in particular—to hold hearings to learn lessons from the situation in Afghanistan and ensure accountability at the highest levels,” Reed said.

Barack Obama Takes on Larry Elder in Ad for Gavin Newsom in California Recall

Former President Barack Obama appears in a new ad for incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), one that targets Larry Elder, a conservative talk show host who would likely be the state’s first black governor if the Sep. 14 recall election succeeds.

Obama does not mention Elder by name. But it shows a photograph of Elder, together with former President Donald Trump, as Obama accuses Republicans of trying to “overturn common sense COVID safety measures for health care workers and school staff.”

Obama recently held a massive 60th birthday party for celebrities and political elites at his private estate on Martha’s Vineyard, off the Massachusetts coast, and was filmed dancing without wearing a mask.

Democrats are running on an exclusively negative message, targeting Elder with assistance from the establishment media, notably the Los Angeles Times, which has conducted a racist campaign against him.

Newsom campaigned earlier this week with a Black Lives Matter leader who declared, in the governor’s presence, that Larry Elder is the “black face of white supremacy,” a charge made infamous by the Times.

Unionists Will Collapse Northern Ireland Govt over Sellout to EU ‘In Weeks’

LONDON (AP) – The leader of Northern Ireland’s largest British unionist party heightened post-Brexit political tensions on Thursday, saying the UK’s divorce deal with the European Union could collapse the Belfast government and trigger a new era of violence and instability.

Democratic Unionist Party leader Jeffrey Donaldson said rules for Northern Ireland trade agreed by the UK and the EU last year must be fundamentally changed within weeks.

In a speech in Belfast, he said the agreement known as the Northern Ireland Protocol “fundamentally undermines … the economic integrity of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland’s position in it.”

“We are totally opposed to the protocol as it presently exists,” Donaldson said. “We will neither accept it nor will we work it.”

He said that the problems must be resolved “in weeks and not months or years,” and threatened that DUP ministers would quit Northern Ireland’s Protestant-Catholic power-sharing administration rather than implement the deal in its present form. That would effectively collapse the government, which is run by the DUP and Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein.

He also said DUP ministers would boycott regular meetings with politicians in Ireland as a protest against the new rules.

“I say not as a threat, but as a matter of political reality that our political institutions will not survive a failure to resolve the problems that the protocol has created,” said Donaldson, who was elected DUP leader two months ago.

The crisis straining UK-EU relations stems from trade arrangements for Northern Ireland, the only part of the UK that has a land border with the 27-nation bloc. The divorce deal the two sides struck before Britain’s departure means customs and border checks must be conducted on some goods moving between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.

The regulations are intended to prevent goods from Britain entering the EU’s tariff-free single market while keeping an open border between Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland — a key pillar of Northern Ireland’s peace process. But the checks have angered Northern Ireland’s unionists, who say they impose burdensome red tape on businesses and weaken Northern Ireland’s ties with the rest of the UK.

Tensions over the new rules contributed to a week of street violence in Northern Ireland cities in April that saw youths pelt police with bricks, fireworks and gasoline bombs.

Donaldson said the violence had died down, “but I fear that unless we grapple with this issue, this will prove to be merely a pause, rather than an end to the disorder.”

Britain and the EU both say they want to fix the problems, but they remain far apart on solutions.

Britain’s Conservative government has accused the bloc of being needlessly “purist” in implementing the rules. The UK is seeking ultimately to remove most checks, replacing them with a “light touch” system in which only goods at risk of entering the EU would be inspected.

Biden moves to boot Trump loyalists from advisory boards

Requests for resignations and threats of firings were delivered on Wednesday.

The Biden White House has begun the process of removing Trump allies from military advisory boards, months after they were installed into those posts at the end of the last administration.

On Wednesday, Cathy Russell, the director of the White House’s Presidential Personnel Office, sent letters to 18 individuals on three different boards, asking for them to resign. The list includes the Board of Visitors to the Air Force Academy, Military Academy and the Naval Academy, the White House said.

In one letter to Russell Vought, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration, Russell advised him that he’d be fired from his post on the Naval Academy’s board of visitors unless he chose to resign.

“On behalf of President Biden, I am writing to request your resignation as a Member of the Board of Visitors to the U.S. Naval Academy,” Russell wrote, according to the letter that Vought subsequently posted on Twitter. “Please submit your resignation to me by the close of business today. Should we not receive your resignation, your position with the Board will be terminated effective 6:00 p.m. tonight.”

Vought, who earlier this year founded the Center for Renewing America, tweeted out his refusal to comply. “No,” he responded. “It’s a three year term.”

John Coale, a top Washington lawyer, who was also appointed to the Naval Academy board by Trump on Jan. 5, was also removed and said in a text message he was “pissed off” he was fired, adding that he never even got to go to a meeting.

Other former Trump officials appointed to similar boards were also threatened with firing on Wednesday, such as former national security adviser H.R. McMaster, lobbyist David Urban and retired Gen. Jack Keane, according to one of the fired board members. Later this week McMaster is getting honored by West Point’s Association of Graduates as a Distinguished Graduate of the academy.

Keane said in a text message that it was “very disappointing that President Biden is not upholding the previous president’s appointments which has been pretty much the tradition.”

Meaghan Mobbs, an Afghanistan veteran who was also asked to resign from the West Point board, tweeted her reply to the White House: “I find this whole act unconscionable and not all in the spirit by which this Administration promised to govern. President Biden ran on a supposed platform of unity but his actions speak directly to the contrary. Apparently, unity is only for those who conform.”

When asked if he received a similar letter, Sebastian Gorka, who was named by Trump to the National Security Education Board, only replied to a text message by saying: “Hey CuckBoy go lick some Democrat’s boots.” A former Trump official who was named to a military academy’s board of visitors said he hadn’t received such a letter.

CNN and the Army Times both first reported the news of the potential firings.

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer was also asked to resign from the Naval Academy board. On his Newsmax show on Wednesday night, he said he would not do so and said he would join a lawsuit challenging Biden's action.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki later confirmed the intended removal of the Trump appointees in a briefing on Wednesday afternoon.

“The president’s objective is what any president’s objective is, which was to ensure that you have nominees and people serving on these boards who are qualified to serve on them and who are aligned with your values,” she said.

Vought’s insistence that he will serve out his term sets up a potentially dynamic legal and political battle over a largely ceremonial position.

The Biden White House has been exploring ways to remove other Trump officials since they took over. The Pentagon moved quickly to suspend some of the appointments, and in March the Department of Homeland Security fired all the members of its advisory council. But, early on, there was a determination that their hands were tied in certain circumstances.

Liberty Counsel confirms FDA lied to Americans with “approval” of Pfizer covid jab

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pulled a fast one on Americans with its supposed “approval” of Pfizer’s Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine.”

As it turns out, the Pfizer jab currently in use was not actually approved by the FDA, which Liberty Counsel says pulled a “bait and switch.”

The well-respected law firm released a statement recently explaining that in order to help push draconian vaccine mandates, the FDA essentially lied to the American public about the approval, which never technically happened.

According to Liberty Counsel, all existing Pfizer vials remain under the federal government’s “emergency use authorization” (EUA), which means that people have the “option to accept or refuse” it.

The third “booster” shot being pushed by Pfizer is also identical to the first two, meaning that it, too, is only authorized for emergency use and does not hold full approval.

“BioNTech received FDA approval for people ages 16 and above under the name Comirnaty, but there are no Comirnaty doses available in the United States,” Liberty Counsel further explains.

“In other words, there is currently NO FDA approved COVID-19 injection available anywhere in the United States. Every COVID shot in America remains under the EUA law and thus people have the ‘option to accept or refuse’ them.”

Even if they do get “approved,” covid vaccines can NEVER legally be forced on anyone

Truth be told, there will never be a scenario in which one of Donald “father of the vaccine” Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” injections can ever be forced on anyone against their will.

This is because once a covid shot does get approved by the FDA, federal and state laws still protect the right of people to reject them for sincerely held religious beliefs or conscientious objections.

There are also medical exemptions to vaccines that allow the immunocompromised to forego them in order to protect themselves against further harm or potential death.

On August 23, the FDA issued two separate letters for two legally distinct injections: one offered by Pfizer and the other offered by BioNTech. The current Pfizer-BioNTech injection being widely administered differs from these two other shots.

“The first letter is regarding FDA’s biologics license application approval for the Pfizer Inc. / BioNTech COVID-19 injection which has been named Comirnaty,” Liberty Counsel explains.

“Yet Pfizer has not started manufacturing or labeling this drug for U.S. distribution, so it is not even available in the U.S. It is unclear whether or not it is protected by a liability shield, but web-based U.S. government communication indicates that the same program that provides compensation for COVID vaccine-related injuries will apply Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) rather than the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.”

As of this writing, there is not believed to be any compensation paid via the CICP to anyone who has been injured by any of the Chinese Virus injections currently being administered under EUA.

“The Pfizer injection, on the other hand, is still considered experimental under U.S. law,” Liberty Counsel further notes. “There is a legal difference between products approved under authorization of emergency use (EUA) compared with those the FDA has fully licensed.”

In essence, nothing currently being peddled by the government or the mainstream media as a “covid vaccine” is approved by the FDA, nor can it be mandated under any alleged “law.”

Covid shots constitute experimental gene therapy drugs that every individual has the right to just say no to, should they choose to do so. Just remember: my body, my choice.

China opens new container shipping port in Israel

Israel Opens First New Port in 60 Years, Built by China’s SIPG

(Yicai Global) Sept. 3 — Operations have begun at a new automated container port built and run by Shanghai International Port Group in Haifa, Israel. It is the country’s first new port in 60 years.

The Bay Port’s inauguration ceremony was held on Sept. 1, the Chinese state-owned terminal operator said yesterday. With advanced technologies, it is expected to give a boost to Israel’s port industry in terms of automation, operational efficiency, energy conservation, environmental protection and customer service.

Revealed: LAPD officers told to collect social media data on every civilian they stop

The Los Angeles police department (LAPD) has directed its officers to collect the social media information of every civilian they interview, including individuals who are not arrested or accused of a crime, according to records shared with the Guardian.

A lawsuit charges that the Rodeo Drive task force has been stopping and arresting Black people without cause.

Beverly Hills: 99% of people arrested by ‘safe streets’ unit were Black, suit says

Copies of the “field interview cards” that police complete when they question civilians reveal that LAPD officers are instructed to record a civilian’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media accounts, alongside basic biographical information. An internal memo further shows that the police chief, Michel Moore, told employees that it was critical to collect the data for use in “investigations, arrests, and prosecutions”, and warned that supervisors would review cards to ensure they were complete.

The documents, which were obtained by the not-for-profit organization the Brennan Center for Justice, have raised concerns about civil liberties and the potential for mass surveillance of civilians without justification.

“There are real dangers about police having all of this social media identifying information at their fingertips,” said Rachel Levinson-Waldman, a deputy director at the Brennan Center, noting that the information was probably stored in a database that could be used for a wide range of purposes.

The Brennan Center conducted a review of 40 other police agencies in the US and was unable to find another department that required social media collection on interview cards (though many have not publicly disclosed copies of the cards). The organization also obtained records about the LAPD’s social media surveillance technologies, which have raised questions about the monitoring of activist groups including Black Lives Matter.

Surveillance concerns

In 2015, the department added “social media accounts” as a line on the physical field interview cards, according to a newly unearthed memo from the previous LAPD chief, Charlie Beck. “Similar to a nickname or an alias, a person’s online persona or identity used for social media … can be highly beneficial to investigations,” he wrote.

While the social media collection has gone largely unnoticed, the LAPD’s use of field interview cards has prompted controversy. Last October, prosecutors filed criminal charges against three officers in the LAPD’s metro division, accusing them of using the cards to falsely label civilians as gang members after stopping them. That unit also has a history of stopping Black drivers at disproportionately high rates, and according to the LA Times, has more frequently filled out cards for Black and Latino residents they stopped.

Meanwhile, more than half of the civilians stopped by metro officers and documented in the cards were not arrested or cited, the Times reported. The fact that a department under scrutiny for racial profiling was also engaged in broad scale social media account collection is troubling, said Levinson-Waldman.

9/11 Was an Israeli Job

Technical impossibilities

Thanks to courageous investigators, many anomalies in the official explanation of the events of 9/11 were posted on the Internet in the following months, providing evidence that this was a false flag operation, and that Osama bin Laden was innocent, as he repeatedly declared in the Afghan and Pakistani press and on Al Jazeera.[1] The proofs of this appalling fraud have been accumulating ever since, and are now accessible to anyone willing to spend a few hours of research on the Web. (Although, while preparing this article, I noticed that Google is now making access to that research more difficult than it was five years ago, artificially prioritizing anti-conspiracy sites.)

For example, members of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth have demonstrated that it was impossible for plane crashes and jet fuel fires to trigger the collapse of the Twin Towers. Even Donald Trump understood this. In fact, speaking of “collapse” is perhaps misleading: the towers literally exploded, pulverizing concrete and projecting pieces of steel beams weighing several hundred tons hundreds of meters laterally at high speeds. The pyroclastic dust that immediately flooded through the streets, not unlike the dust from a volcano, indicates a high temperature mixture of hot gasses and relatively dense solid particles, an impossible phenomenon in a simple collapse. It is also impossible that WTC7, another skyscraper (47 stories), which had not been hit by a plane, collapsed into its own footprint at near free-fall speed, unless by “controlled demolition.”

Testimonies of firefighters recorded shortly after the events describe sequences of explosions just before the “collapse”, well below the plane impact. The presence of molten metal in the wreckage up to three weeks after the attack is inexplicable except by the presence of incompletely burned explosives. Firefighter Philip Ruvolo testified before Étienne Sauret’s camera for his film Collateral Damages (2011): “You’d get down below and you’d see molten steel—molten steel running down the channelways, like you were in a foundry—like lava.”

Aviation professionals have also reported impossibilities in the behavior of the planes. The charted speeds of the two aircraft hitting the Twin Towers, 443 mph and 542 mph, exclude these aircraft being Boeing 767s, because these speeds are virtually impossible near ground level. In the unlikely event such speeds could be attained without the aircraft falling apart, flying them accurately into the towers was mission impossible, especially by the amateur pilots blamed for the hijacking. Hosni Mubarak, a former pilot, said he could never do it. (He is not the only head of state to have voiced his doubts: Chavez and Ahmadinejad are among them.) Recall that neither of the black boxes of the jetliners was ever found, an incomprehensible situation.

And of course, there are the obvious anomalies of Shanksville and Pentagon crash sites: no plane or credible plane debris can be seen on any of the numerous photos easily available.

Inside Job or Mossad Job?

Among the growing number of Americans who disbelieve the official version of the 9/11 attacks, two basic theories are in competition: I called them “inside job” and “Mossad job”. The first one is the dominant thesis within the so-called 9/11 Truth movement, and blames the American government, or a faction within the American Deep State. The second one claims that the masterminds were members of a powerful Israeli network deeply infiltrated in all spheres of power within the US, including media, government, military and secret services.

This “Mossad job” thesis has been gaining ground since Alan Sabrosky, a professor at the U.S. Army War College and the U.S. Military Academy, published in July 2012 an article entitled “Demystifying 9/11: Israel and the Tactics of Mistake”, where he voiced his conviction that September 11th was “a classic Mossad-orchestrated operation.”

UN: 18,000 Yemeni Civilians Killed or Wounded in Airstrikes Since 2015

The strikes are all attributed to the US-backed Saudi-led coalition

A UN panel said Wednesday that at least 18,000 Yemeni civilians have been killed or wounded since the US-backed Saudi-led coalition intervened in the country in 2015.

In a report presented at the UN Human Rights Council, UN experts said the people of Yemen have faced about 10 airstrikes a day, a total of more than 23,000 since 2015. According to The Associated Press, the report cited the Yemen Data Project, which attributed every airstrike to the US-Saudi coalition since the Houthis have no air force.

According to the Yemen Data Project, in 23,351 coalition air raids, 8,773 civilians have been killed, and another 9,843 have been wounded.

Since the US first backed Saudi Arabia in Yemen in March 2015, the coalition has dropped bombs on schools, farms, water treatment facilities, marketplaces, hospitals, and other civilian infrastructure. On top of the vicious air campaign, the coalition has enforced a blockade on Yemen and is still blocking fuel shipments from entering the country.

At the end of 2020, the UN estimated 233,000 people have died in Yemen due to the war. About 100,000 died directly in violence, and over 100,000 have died due to starvation and disease caused by the coalition’s siege tactics. These numbers are a conservative estimate, and the UN has also warned in 2021 alone, 400,000 Yemeni children under the age of five will starve to death if conditions don’t change.

Despite the grim warnings and President Biden’s pledge to end support for Saudi Arabia’s “offensive” operations in Yemen, the war is still raging. Biden made his pledge in February, and it was revealed in April that the US is still servicing Saudi warplanes that are bombing Yemen. Without this assistance, the Saudi air force would be quickly grounded.

HIT PIECE FROM ISRAEL

9/11 conspiracy theories metastasized, led to misinformation on COVID, elections

Spread by the internet and nurtured by pundits and politicians, corrosive falsehoods have prompted one dangerous hoax after another: birtherism. Pizzagate. QAnon…

AP — Korey Rowe served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and returned to the US in 2004 traumatized and disillusioned. His experiences overseas and nagging questions about September 11, 2001 convinced him America’s leaders were lying about what happened that day and the wars that followed.

The result was “Loose Change,” a 2005 documentary produced by Rowe and written and directed by his childhood friend, Dylan Avery, that popularized the theory that the US government was behind 9/11. One of the first viral hits of the still-young internet, it encouraged millions to question what they were told.

While the attacks united many Americans in grief and anger, “Loose Change” spoke to the disaffected.

“It was the lightning rod that caught the lightning,” Rowe recalls. He had hoped the film would prompt a sober reassessment of the attacks. Rowe, who lives in Oneonta, New York, doesn’t regret the film, and still questions the events of 9/11, but says he’s deeply troubled by what 9/11 conspiracy theories revealed about the corrosive nature of misinformation on the internet.

Twenty years on, the skepticism and suspicion first revealed by 9/11 conspiracy theories has metastasized, spread by the internet and nurtured by pundits and politicians like Donald Trump. One hoax after another has emerged, each more bizarre than the last: birtherism. Pizzagate. QAnon.

“Look at where it’s gone: You have people storming the Capitol because they believe the election was a fraud. You have people who won’t get vaccinated and they’re dying in hospitals,” Rowe says. “We’ve gotten to the point where information is actually killing people.”

An era of suspicion and disbelief

There were, of course, conspiracy theories before 9/11 happened – John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the moon landing, a supposed 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. And the country’s interest in alternative, fringe theories was on the rise before 9/11, exemplified by the 1990s show “The X-Files,” with its taglines of “The truth is out there” and “Trust no one.” But it was 9/11 that heralded our current era of suspicion and disbelief and revealed the internet’s ability to catalyze conspiracy theories.

“Conspiracy theories have always been with us, and it’s just the means of sharing them that has changed,” says Karen Douglas, a psychology professor at the University of Kent in England who studies why people believe such explanations. “The internet has made conspiracy theories more visible and easy to share than ever before. People can also very quickly find like-minded others, join groups, and share their opinions.”

Conspiracy theories about the attack and its aftermath also gave early exposure to some of the same people pushing hoaxes and unfounded claims about COVID-19, vaccines and the 2020 election, including Alex Jones, the Trump-supporting publisher of Infowars, who has accused the United States of plotting the attacks and has said the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. Jones was a co-producer of the third edition of “Loose Change.”

Polls show belief in 9/11 conspiracy theories peaked in the years immediately following the attack, then subsided. Repeated surveys show a small percentage of Americans continue to harbor doubts about the official explanation of the attacks.

It’s not surprising that such views persist, or that they have ebbed over time. Shocking, sudden events often spawn conspiracy theories as people collectively grapple with understanding them, says Mark Fenster, a University of Florida law school professor who has studied the history of conspiracy theories in America.

“A plane that runs into the World Trade Center? That runs into the Pentagon? It sounds like the stuff of films,” Fenster says. “It just didn’t seem like a real event, and it’s when you have a major anomalous event like this that conspiracy theories sometimes come around.”

Russian, Israeli militaries to continue exchanging information on Syria — Lavrov

According to Russian foreign minister, the situation in Syria remains challenging in many respects due to the fact that many countries’ interests are intertwined in that process

MOSCOW, September 9. /TASS/. The practice of exchanging information on the situation in Syria between Russia and Israel has proven its usefulness and will be continued, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters at a news conference on Thursday following talks with Israel’s top diplomat Yair Lapid.

"Those practical issues that arise in this connection [on the situation in Syria] are discussed extensively by our [Russian and Israeli] militaries on a daily basis. I believe that this practice has proven its usefulness. Today we agreed that it would be continued," he said.

According to Lavrov, the situation in Syria remains challenging in many respects due to the fact that many countries’ interests are intertwined in that process. "There are legitimate interests, for example, such as security interests. <…There are interests that are not quite legitimate, putting it mildly. I mean, first and foremost, the illegal occupation of a considerable part of Syria’s territory by the United States, the exploitation of natural resources and hydrocarbons, grain and water resources belonging to the Syrian people and, of course, the United States’ activities to connive with Kurdish separatism," he noted.

Russia’s top diplomat added that Moscow was opposed to turning Syria into an arena of confrontation between third countries. Taking into account all the realities, it is essential to move towards the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2254 and respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. "That integrity must be restored, which means foiling any attempts of separatism and moving towards the organization of an inclusive Syrian nationwide dialogue," he stressed.

Most of Syria’s Al-Hasakah, Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa provinces located in the east and northeast of the country are currently controlled by the US-backed Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces. The US command has created nine military bases in the area since 2015. Four of them are located near the oil fields in Deir ez-Zor and five others - in the neighboring Al-Hasakah province, which is considered to be Syria’s bread-basket. In late 2019, then US President Donald Trump approved a plan for several hundred US troops to remain in Syria, and one of their chief tasks will be to ensure control over oil fields in the northeast and east of the country.

Los Angeles School District Set to Mandate Covid-19 Vaccines for Students 12 and Up, Even Though Vaccine is Emergency Only for 12-15-Year-Olds

In a stunning move this morning, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation’s second largest, is set to vote on mandating Covid-19 for all eligible students in a special meeting Thursday afternoon. I suppose this is today’s version of “show me your a communist regime without saying it.”

“By the start of spring semester, every student 12 and up who is eligible and doesn’t have an exemption will have received a vaccine,” LAUSD school board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin told CNN affiliate KCBS/KCAL, adding the district will be providing the vaccines.

According to a report included with an online copy of Thursday’s agenda, all students who are 12 or older and are attending school in-person would be required to have received their first Covid shot by no later than November 21, and be fully vaccinated by December 19.

Students participating in extracurricular activities in person such as sports, cheerleading, etc would need to be fully vaccinated by the end of October.

The report says “students with qualified and approved exemptions and conditional admissions” would be excluded from the mandate, but it doesn’t provide additional detail about potential exemptions.

The district which has more than 600,000 students began school on August 16. This would be the first major school district in the United States to mandate Covid-19 for its eligible students. We’re honestly not sure how this is allowable from a legality standpoint, it’s truly insane.

A smaller district in Los Angeles Country, Culver City Unified School District announced back in August that they planned to require all eligible students to be vaccinated by mid-November.

The district is “trying to do everything we possibly can to keep our schools safe,” pointing to the Delta variant as a threat to the community.

“Children are at risk from the Delta variant in ways we didn’t see last semester,” she said, “and our responsibility to children and our communities is their safety and well-being.”

The Pfizer/BioNTech is the only available vaccine for authorized EMERGENCY use for children between 12 and 15, it is NOT APPROVED by the FDA… So how are they going to mandate it for kids 12 to 15, it’s not been approved?

But that’s not an issue for the LAUSD school board, Franklin told CNN, saying, “We understand the benefits far outweigh the risks, and so the emergency authorization really isn’t weighing into our decision.”

“It is about the access,” she added, “and that we can provide it in this country to our children, and we want to do that as quickly as possible.”

Wait a minute, you understand the benefits outweigh the risk? These are our children here Stalin… You don’t get to make that call as a public school official, this is ridiculous!

Board member Jackie Goldberg said the mandate was “to save lives,” KCBS/KCAL reported. “That’s why there isn’t measles and mumps and rubella in our schools — because we vaccinate and we require it.”

Koch-Funded Quincy Institute Joins Communists To Demand Biden Administration Lift Sanctions on US Enemies

The US Peace Council and the International Action Center are openly supportive of totalitarian regimes

The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft is joining a coalition of civil society groups that call for President Joe Biden to roll back sanctions against Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba.

Forty-six organizations, including two avowedly Communist groups, on Tuesday submitted a letter to Biden that urges him to implement "significant" changes to the United States' sanctions policy. The U.S. Peace Council and International Action Center are openly supportive of Communist and totalitarian regimes.

The U.S. Peace Council has cozied up to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and accused the U.S. government of launching coups in Ukraine and Venezuela. The International Action Center recently released a report that parrots the popular Chinese talking point that the coronavirus originated in a U.S. military lab in Maryland.

Sent in the wake of the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan, a policy long backed by the isolationist-leaning Quincy Institute, the letter demonstrates the organization's ongoing efforts to push Biden's foreign policy to the left.

"We write to urge you to complete the administration's sanctions policy review as expeditiously as possible, to make its findings public, and to implement significant and structural changes to U.S. sanctions policy," the letter reads.

The signatories offer to provide "expertise" to the Biden administration during its sanctions policy review.

"We believe we have valuable insight to share, and your administration has said it seeks such input," they write.

The letter is the Quincy Institute's first known collaboration with the U.S. Peace Council and the International Action Center, two of the harshest critics of U.S. foreign policy.

The U.S. Peace Council has been a reliable defender of America's adversaries since it launched in 1979 as an affiliate of the Soviet Union. In recent years, the group has cozied up with Assad and Nicolás Maduro, the disputed president of Venezuela.

The International Action Center has conducted similar "anti-imperialist" activism since its founding in 1992. Its founder, former attorney general Ramsey Clark, gained notoriety for defending war criminals Slobodan Milošević, Charles Taylor, and Saddam Hussein. Clark also represented two Nazi camp guards, Karl Linnas and Jakob Reimer, who faced war-crime charges after they immigrated to the United States.

The Quincy Institute did not respond to a request for comment. The International Action Center and the U.S. Peace Council did not return requests for comment.

Another signatory, CODEPINK, is waging a campaign called "China Is Not Our Enemy" to oppose the Biden administration's pending arms sales to Taiwan. Many of the group's arguments echo Chinese Communist Party talking points.

"Given China's overwhelming military superiority over Taiwan, more weapons will do nothing to enhance Taiwan's self-defense; instead they will further deepen Taiwan's military reliance on the U.S., making U.S. involvement in a future China-Taiwan clash increasingly likely," CODEPINK's campaign site reads. "Sending more weapons to Taiwan will surely upset Chinese leaders, further sabotaging opportunities for much-needed cooperation on climate change, pandemic relief, nuclear nonproliferation, and other issues of common concern."

CODEPINK and 47 other organizations signed a July letter that urges the Biden administration to prioritize cooperating with China on climate change rather than looking into Beijing's litany of human rights abuses. The Washington Free Beacon reported that several of the other cosigners take funds from left-wing billionaire George Soros.

Biden White House stonewalls two key senators in inquiry into president's use of private email

White House counsel has not responded to letter seeking answers about whether Joe Biden had a Hillary Clinton problem.

The White House failed to meet a deadline last month to provide information to two key Republican senators concerning Joe Biden's use of a private email account as vice president to send government information to his son Hunter Biden.

Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republicans on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and the Senate Judiciary Committee respectively, asked White House Counsel Dana Ann Remus in a July 30 letter to answer whether Biden used one or more private email accounts as vice president, whether he is using any today as president and whether government-related emails in the private accounts were preserved as required by the Federal Records Act.

Their letter was prompted by articles published in Just the News and the New York Post that released copies of emails purportedly from Joe Biden to White House staff during his vice presidency and to his son Hunter Biden that involved official government business.

"If these reports are accurate, it is unclear whether then-Vice President Biden forwarded these and related emails to a government account to ensure that they satisfied federal recordkeeping and archival requirements," Johnson and Grassley wrote. "Further, it is unclear whether now-President Biden has continued the use of non-government email for official business and whether he has continued to provide government information to his family members, including Hunter Biden."

You can read the letter here:

File

2021-07-30 CEG RHJ to White House Counsel (Biden Email).pdf

Just the News reported in mid-July that emails recovered from a Hunter Biden laptop turned over to the FBI included messages signed "Dad" from the email address robinware456@gmail.com to the younger Biden.

One of them, in late November 2014, included information from the U.S. embassy in Istanbul to the State Department providing an early alert that an American named Martin O'Connor was about to be released from detention in Turkey. State Department officials forwarded the information to the vice president's office, where Biden aide Colin Kahl (now President Biden's Undersecretrary of Defense for Policy) sent it to Joe Biden's private email. The vice president then sent it to his son Hunter Biden with the subject line "Fwd: Mr. O'Connor Being Released from Detention today."

The New York Post reported Joe Biden and Obama White House aides appeared to use two other private email pseudonyms — "Robert L. Peters" and "JRB ware" — to pass family and official business to Hunter Biden.

For instance, the Post reported, during a four-week period in 2016, a vice presidential aide sent Joe Biden his official daily schedule and similar information at least 10 times to the private email address Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov and copied Hunter Biden. One of the emails copying Biden's son included information that the vice president was having a phone call with Ukrainian President Poroshenko during a time when Hunter Biden had significant business interests in Ukraine.

Legal experts said the emails raised questions similar to those provoked by Hillary Clinton's use of private email to conduct State Department business as Secretary of State, including whether emails were preserved for the National Archives.

The senators also raised concerns in their letter about the possible transmission of U.S. government information to Hunter Biden and possible conflicts of interest.

"As you are undoubtedly aware, Hunter Biden served on the board of the corrupt Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, at that time and information relating to any communication between the United States Government and Ukrainian Government could have been of interest to Hunter Biden and his colleagues at Burisma," they noted.

The senators asked the White House to provide information and answers they sought by Aug. 13. It did not comply.

Johnson's office confirmed Wednesday it had not received a reply.

“You would think after the Hillary Clinton email scandal, we wouldn’t see another blatant abuse of private emails by administration officials. But President Biden has continued the long tradition of politicians (especially Democrats because the press never holds them accountable) who believe they don’t have to follow the rules,” Johnson said.

“We will probably never know how compromised Biden is because of his foreign financial entanglements, but we are seeing the rolling disasters that are the hallmark of his administration. God help us over the next three and a half years,” he added.

Five Of Turkey’s Largest Proxies In Syria Unify In New Coalition

On September 9, five of Turkey’s largest proxy groups in Syria unified in a new coalition dubbed the Syrian Front for Liberation (SFL).

The groups, the Mu’tasim Division, the Hamzah Division, the Suleyman Shah Division, the 20th Division and the Northern Hawks Brigade, announced the formation of the SFL in a ceremony attended by their top leaders.

Mu’tasim al-Abbas, leader of the Mu’tasim Division, will lead the SFL. His deputy will be Sayf Abu Bakr, leader of the Hamzah Division.

More than 15,000 fighters will operate under the command of the new coalition in the Turkish-occupied parts of the northern al-Hasakah countryside, the northern Raqqa countryside, the eastern Aleppo countryside and the northern Aleppo countryside.

“Full integration, ending the factional situation and unifying the military – security – political – financial – media – relations offices in the name of the Syrian Liberation Front aims to improve the general situation and impose security as well as to support stability in the liberated areas, strengthen the role of official institutions and empower the Syrian Interim Government,” a joint statement by the SFL’s five factions reads.

Three of the SFL’s factions, the Hamzah Division, Suleyman Shah Division and Northern Hawks Brigade, defected very recently from the Azm Operations Room which was formed by Turkish-backed groups in northern Aleppo last July.

All the factions of the SFL and Azm are supposed to be members of the Syrian National Army. The Turkish-backed “army,” which lacks central command and clear structure, appears to be present only in the media.

The SFL was likely established to counter the growing influence of the Azm Operations Room. The two Turkish-backed coalitions appear to be on the brink of a conflict.

Psaki Runs Away When Reporter Asks, “What Happened to My Body, My Choice” When It Comes to Covid Vaccine Mandates

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday told MSNBC that Joe Biden will announce mandatory vaccines on all federal workers in his scripted speech later this afternoon.

Psaki insists forced vaccines are popular with the American public today.

Biden’s move to make vaccines mandatory contradicts his previous statements.

In December, Biden said he “wouldn’t demand it be mandatory.”

A reporter confronted Psaki on the mandatory vaccine mandates for federal workers: “What happened to my body, my choice?”

Psaki ignore the reporter and ran out of the briefing room.

Obama-Biden Afghan Ambassador Is Now A China-Funded Academic Tied To Influence Groups ‘Neutralizing’ Beijing’s Enemies.

Karl Eikenberry – a former Ambassador to Afghanistan under President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden – now collaborates with several Chinese Communist Party-funded influence groups seeking to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition” to the regime and works for a state-run university in China, The National Pulse can reveal.

The sole political appointee to fill the role in the Obama-Biden years, Eikenberry served as Ambassador to Afghanistan from 2009 to 2011. His appointment followed his service as a Lieutenant General in the U.S. Army focusing on Afghanistan, overseeing the training of the now-defunct government’s army and police forces.

Since his departure from the role, Eikenberry has affiliated with several Chinese Communist Party-run institutes and initiatives.

In addition to serving as a senior advisor to the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Defense, he doubles as a Visiting Professor at Schwartzman College housed at Tsinghua University. The alma mater of Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, Tsinghua University has a history of launching cyberattacks against the U.S. government.

Tsinghua also has a “clear connection between them and the state administration for technology and industry in discussions on what [they] can do to help the national security,” according to former Senior Intelligence Officer in the Defense Intelligence Agency and State Department Official Nicholas Eftimiades.

Similarly, Eikenberry is an International Security fellow at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). The National Pulse has previously highlighted the center’s deep collaboration with several Chinese military and government-linked entities, including those flagged by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for espionage and blacklisted by the U.S. government.

Eikenberry is also part of a working group based at the University of California San Diego’s (UCSD) 21st Century China Center, which is predominantly funded by the co-founder of the e-commerce giant Alibaba. The China-based firm has close financial and personnel ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its military. It has been flagged as a “tool” of the Chinese Communist Party by the U.S. State Department.

Beyond academia, Eikenberry has also participated in dialogues at the East-West Institute sponsored by the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF). The organization was founded by the Vice-Chairman Chinese Communist Party’s “United Front,” an effort that seeks to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and “influence foreign governments to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.”

Another event sponsor – the China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC) – has been flagged by the U.S. government as a United Front group operating under the auspices of China’s military.

“CAIFC has additional ties to the Ministries of State Security, Civil Affairs, and Foreign Affairs, and it is a platform for deploying undercover intelligence gatherers,” the federal commission’s report adds.

Despite these ties, Eikenberry participated in a 2018 military-to-military dialogue – the Sanya Initiative – alongside Chinese Communist Party counterparts sponsored by CUSEF and CAIFC.

“Retired American and Chinese senior flag officers and executives of the hosting organizations met in Beijing to discuss critical issues of mutual concern and interest impacting the U.S.-China military-to-military relationship, including North Korea, Taiwan, the South China Sea, emerging technologies, as well as other regional security challenges,” an event summary notes.

Never Ever Give Up! The Freedom of Thinking. Truth Alone Can Make Us Free

Open Letter to All Free Thinkers and Enlighteners

Dear friends and esteemed colleagues!

The future of our culture will largely depend on whether there will be enough free thinkers to enlighten us about what is truth and what is a lie. This requires from an independent mind, which is in nobody’s service, a high degree of common sense and the moral consciousness to be his brother’s keeper.

The greater the courage of a thinker, the more he dares to question, the less he /she conforms to the crowd. His thinking is not just mind games: thinking he changes the world. He is the type of an honest spirit, an ethicist and true human being who takes responsibility for himself and all other human beings (thinking). With the freedom of thinking, freedom in general is proclaimed. For truth is not an end in itself; it is merely the mould for something greater, namely freedom. Truth alone can make us free. The intellectual therefore has a much greater responsibility than one would commonly like to admit.

At the same time, a free thinker will never claim to have the only blessed truth. For the free mind, there is an unlimited number of truths to be discovered and to follow change. For him, truth is that which is not dogmatic and does not divide people into believers and non-believers or those of other faiths, but which is beneficial to the coexistence of people and promotes their understanding and common sense.

Since every individual is needed to shape the future, we cannot wait for a Messiah: Action must be taken here and now. Therefore, I see the only non-violent way is to continue to enlighten, to convey hope and to never give up.

Killing arguments like “conspiracy theorist” or “fascist” should not unsettle free spirits, negative categorisations of still undecided fellow citizens should be refrained from. Undecided people have to be picked up in a friendly and understanding way from where they are at the moment.

If, for example, fellow citizens assume that the political, economic and climatic horror reports are fateful events, then they should be told that people all over the world are being thrown into chaos by the ruling “elite” through deliberately brought about catastrophes of all kinds, so that they fall into a state of shock (Naomi Klein) and do not notice how a New World Order is being created behind their backs, in which they will only live a slave existence. But as in any other war, the fog of uncertainty offers citizens the chance to use common sense to find out the truth.

If a fellow citizen thinks that politicians want to protect the health of the population by prescribing coercive measures such as lockdown, quarantine, muzzling or gene therapy serums, then it should be conveyed to him that the levers of power were already occupied years ago by corrupt, immoral, petty and mendacious political actors because they willingly implement the orders of the ruling psychopaths. These currently include the media stoking of irrational fears, the destruction of the middle class, the abolition of cash, total control as well as the reduction of the population and the isolation of “undiscerning” people in special “quarantine camps”. But these lackeys must one day step down. Evil will not triumph because man, though irritated, is good and social by nature.

If anyone thinks, in connection with the prescribed political coercive measures and the upcoming compulsory vaccination, that politicians and citizens would be well advised to trust the expert opinions of medical practitioners of all stripes, then they should be reminded that no profession was as deeply involved in the atrocities of German Nazis as doctors. In a sense, they formed the backbone of German Nazis crimes.

If fellow citizens do not know or do not want to admit that free countries and free governments are being deliberately destroyed by unscrupulous great powers and that the public is being deceived about this, then they are advised to read John Pilger’s article in “Global Research” about the decades of suffering of the Afghan people: “The Great Game of Breaking Up Countries”. The award-winning journalist pleads for taking the truth about the past seriously so that all this suffering never happens again. Yet Afghanistan is only one of many examples of the brutal campaigns of conquest and economic warfare of the empire.

If fellow human beings hope that the current crimes against humanity will soon come to an end, then they should be gently prepared for the fact that subsequent coercive measures are already planned to curb the allegedly man-made climate change. At the same time, they should be given hope as more and more people around the world are waking up and standing up against the gigantic hoax and crimes.

If a fellow citizen finds himself in a seemingly hopeless economic, financial and social plight because of the inhuman machinations of the authorities, then he is strongly advised to turn to fellow human beings, because the principle of “mutual aid” (Kropotkin) as well as social feelings and communal bonds play just as great a role in the human world as the will to power and self-interest.

But if anyone wants to drive fellow human beings to revolt against the power of the state, then they must be strongly advised not to do so, because the power of the state is well armed and the blood and freedom of others must be treated with care.
