Customs and Border Protection Seizes Imports From Chinese Company Backed By Kerry Investments

 

CBP cites law that prohibits foreign imports produced through labor abuses

 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection last week seized imports from a Chinese company backed by an investment group in which climate czar John Kerry holds a $1 million stake.

 

Kerry and his wife are invested in Hillhouse China Value Fund L.P., part of the Hillhouse investment group that is a top shareholder in a Chinese solar panel company that works with companies known to be using forced labor. It was on that account that CBP seized the imports from LONGi Green Energy, citing a law that prohibits foreign imports produced through labor abuses.

 

The news could raise additional concerns about the Kerry familyā€™s investment in Hillhouse China Value Fund L.P., which the climate envoy disclosed at the beginning of the year. Although Kerry divested from many of his energy-related holdings in March, the list of divestments did not include Hillhouse, according to a disclosure Kerry filed in March with the Office of Government Ethics. The investment has drawn scrutiny from Republican lawmakers and China experts, who accuse Kerry of downplaying and enabling Chinaā€™s human rights abuses while trying to win concessions from Beijing on climate change.

 

The Hillhouse investment group, which is run by Zhang Lei, an adviser to the Chinese government, owns a 6 percent stake in LONGi. Hillhouse is also a top shareholder of YITU Technology, a company that was blacklisted by the U.S. Department of Commerce for allegedly aiding the Chinese governmentā€™s surveillance of Uyghurs.

 

Kerry's Hillhouse stake is through a trust in which his wife is the beneficiary. He stated in his disclosure that they are not involved in managing the investments.

 

LONGi, the White House, and CBP did not respond to request for comment.

 

LONGi Green Energy said its products were temporarily detained by CBP from Oct. 28 to Nov. 3, under a "Withhold Release Order," according to an announcement filed by its board of directors with the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Nov. 4.

 

Withhold Release Orders are intended to "prevent merchandise produced in whole or in part in a foreign country using forced labor from being imported into the United States," according to the CBP website.

 

LONGiā€™s board of directors sought to allay concerns over the seizure order, saying it impacted "a total of 40.31 MW of components exported to the United States" which "accounted for approximately 1.59 percent of export sales" to the United States last year.

 

"The U.S. Customsā€™ Temporary Detention Order (WRO) has not yet caused the companyā€™s operations significant adverse effects," the board said. "The company will continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of the WRO on the companyā€™s U.S. shipments."

'Propaganda': Experts rip CDC study claiming vax offers stronger protection than natural immunity

 

The new study contradicts a much larger Israeli study this summer.

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published an "early release" study last week that uses a highly curated population to purportedly show that mRNA-vaccinated people have a much lower rate of reinfection by COVID-19 than naturally immune people, contradicting a much larger Israeli study this summer.

 

The CDC study concludes: "All eligible persons should be vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible, including unvaccinated persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2."

 

The study analyzed "COVID-19ā€“like illness hospitalizations among adults" across nine states from January through Sept. 2. Because public health authorities portrayed vaccination as the best way to avoid hospitalization, it's less likely that vaccinated people would seek hospitalization, thus hiding their breakthrough infections relative to the naturally immune.

 

Attorney Jenin Younes, whose New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) files legal challenges against COVID vaccine mandates, tweeted that the study contradicts a meta-analysis touted by the CDC, which found "no significant difference" in protection between vaccination and natural immunity.

 

Immunologist Hooman Noorchashm, the medical expert for multiple NCLA challenges, called the study "another teleological piece of propaganda" by the CDC because it excludes the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and likely includes recovered people in the vaccinated group.

 

Harvard Medical School epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff tweeted that the study has a "major statistical flaw" ā€” falsely portraying hospitalized respiratory patients as "representative of the population" ā€” which renders the odds ratio "wrong."

 

Former New York Times journalist Alex Berenson argued the study "is meaningless gibberish that would never have been published if the agency did not face huge political pressure to get people vaccinated." It's not even clear enough naturally immune people were hospitalized to reach statistical significance, he said, noting there's no unadjusted odds ratio.

Garland: $6 Million in Ransomware Payments Seized, Man Charged Over Major Cyberattack

 

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged a suspect from Ukraine and a Russian national over a July ransomware attack against a U.S. company and also seized some $6 million in ransom payments, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray.

 

Yaroslav Vasinskyi, a Ukrainian national arrested in Poland last month, will face federal charges for deploying ransomware known as REvil, which has been linked to hacks that have cost companies millions of dollars, the DOJ said in a court filing on Monday. Vasinskyi carried out a ransomware attack over the Fourth of July weekend on Florida-based software firm Kaseya that infected up to 1,500 businesses around the world and the United States, according to the charges.

Iraqi Security Forces Ask Why US Defences in Baghdad Werenā€™t Working During UAV Attack on PMā€™s Home

 

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi survived an assassination attempt early Sunday morning after three drones targeted his residence, situated in the heavily fortified area of Baghdad known as the Green Zone. In addition to the prime ministerā€™s home, the area houses the US Embassy and other diplomatic buildings.

Iraqā€™s Joint Operations Command (JOC) is asking why the US militaryā€™s counter rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) installations appeared to have been inoperable during Sunday morningā€™s attack on the prime ministerā€™s residence.

ā€œWe are currently discussing the matter with the American side and officials from the US Embassy. This is an issue that experts should throw light on and explain,ā€ JOC spokesman Maj. Gen. Tahsin al-Khafaji said, his remarks cited by Iranā€™s PressTV.

While operational, the C-RAM system sounds sirens to warn of potential incoming attacks, and fires off rapid-fire machineguns to shoot down hostile air targets. The system was installed and activated last year amid repeated strikes on the Green Zone by militia rocket artillery following the January 2020 US assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a senior Iranian anti-terror commander. After its installation, the system has been repeatedly used to protect Green Zone airspace. However, it has not always been accurate, with a volley of rockets launched into the Green Zone in February failing to activate the system, reportedly after it was projected that the rockets would not land within the diplomatic compound.

ā€œIt Was Demonicā€ ā€“ AstroWorld Concert-Goers Claim Show That Killed 8 People Was Like a Satanic Ritual

 

The ā€œAstroworldā€ concert, where 8 people died and over 300 other concert-goers were injured during rapper Travis Scottā€™s performance, was like a satanic ritual, attendees of the concert claim.

 

Scott watched his fans fall to the ground as paramedics tried to resuscitate them during his performance on Friday. But the show did not stop and Travis played for another 30 minutes.

 

Instead, it came to a crescendo with displays of dark imagery.

 

Scott is seen in video watching paramedics carry out a member who died in his audience as he continued to sing, but he claimed on Sunday that he would have stopped the show if was aware people were in danger.

 

ā€œMy fans really mean the world to me and I always just really want to leave them with a positive experience,ā€ Scott said in a statement on Twitter, as he shuts his eyes and profusely rubs his forehead. ā€œAnytime I can make out anything thatā€™s going on, I would stop the show and you know, help them get the help they need. I could just never just imagine the severity of the situation.ā€

Rittenhouse Witness Blows Case For Prosecution, Admits He Pointed Gun, Advanced First

 

A 'star' witness for the prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial just blew the entire case for the prosecution, after he admitted to pointing his own gun at Rittenhouse before the teen shot his bicep off.

 

"It wasn't until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him, with your gun - now your hand's down, pointed at him - that he fired, right?" the defense asked witness Gaige Grosskreutz. To which he replied:

 

"Correctā€¦"

 

Rittenhouse is charged with two counts of homicide and one count of attempted homicide, after the aspiring police officer shot two men and wounded a third on the night of Aug. 25, 2020, as BLM riots raged in the streets of Kenosha in response to a white-on-black police shooting.

 

As we noted last week, before the shooting began, Rittenhouse, 17 at the time, was had arrived in Kenosha in order to help keep order and protect businesses from looting and arson.

 

"People are getting inured, and our job is to protect this business, and part of my job is also to help people. If thereā€™s somebody hurt, Iā€™m running into harmā€™s way. Thatā€™s why I have my rifle, because I need to protect myself obviously. But I also have my med kit," Rittenhouse said in footage recorded before the incident.

 

During the course of the evening, protesters became increasingly violent against Rittenhouse and the group he was with - eventually chasing the teen down the street when protester Joseph Rosenbaum was shot dead in the parking lot of a used car dealership. Shortly thereafter, Rittenhouse could be seen defending himself on the ground from multiple attackers - when he fatally wounded another, and shot the bicep of protester Gaige Grosskreutz who had drawn a pistol and was in the process of aiming it at the teen.

Two New Jersey Republicans In Trump Districts Vote for Bidenā€™s ā€˜Communist Takeoverā€™ Infrastructure Bill

 

President Donald Trump recently issued a statement on the Democrat infrastructure bill, calling it "the $3.5 trillion Communist Plan to Destroy America."

 

Two New Jersey Republicans in the US House of Representatives with deep ties to the Jared Kushner and Bill Stepien wing of the Trump circle, Reps. Jeff Van Drew and Chris Smith, voted in favor of the recent Democrat infrastructure bill, dubbed a ā€œconservative takeoverā€ by conservative activists.

 

US House Reps. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) and Chris Smith (R-NJ), voted in favor of the recent Democrat infrastructure bill. Van Drew is a freshman congressman, who was propelled to office by his close association with President Donald Trumpā€™s 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien. Jared Kushner has close ties with Stepien, who had previously replaced Brad Parscale as Trumpā€™s campaign manager during the 2020 Presidential race. The two are personally close and Stepien considers Kusher a ā€œpleasureā€ to work with.

 

Stepien, a Chris Christie loyalist, was previously reported to have been selling off endorsements by President Donald Trump earlier this year, as National File reported.

 

Smith, known as the ā€œinvisible manā€ in New Jerseyā€™s 4th Congressional District for being a 16-year incumbent who lives in a different state ā€“ specifically, Virginia, has been reported to have been distancing himself from the America First movement since the widely controversial 2020 Presidential Election on November 3, 2020.

 

Two New Jersey Republican votes for the Democrat ā€œinfrastructureā€ takeover came on the heels of a better than expected showing for the GOP in what was normally deep-blue New Jersey earlier last week during the 2021 November election.

 

President Donald Trump recently issued a statement on the Democrat infrastructure bill, calling it ā€œthe $3.5 trillion Communist Plan to Destroy America.ā€

 

ā€œThis legislation is an assault on our Nation, on our communities, and on the American Dream,ā€ President Trump wrote. ā€œIt destroys our Borders and the rule of law by granting dangerous amnesty that will flood Americaā€™s beautiful cities. It will overwhelm our schools, and make our Nation less safe. It raises taxes like we have never seen, while also making many things you buy everyday more expensive (gas, groceries, and much more). And donā€™t forget the crazy Green New Deal. America, you are being robbed in the dark of night. Itā€™s time to wake up!ā€

 

The recent betrayals by Smith and Van Drew may prove to be beneficial for America First candidate for the 4th district Mike Blasi, a retired NYPD officer and veteran of the U.S. Army is mounting a formidable campaign against Smith.

 

ā€œWhile you were sleeping on Friday night, forty-year incumbent Chris Smith ā€” a man who has been wallowing in Congress since 1981 ā€” voted to enable the Communist Democrat plan to destroy America, otherwise known as Joe Bidenā€™s and Nancy Pelosiā€™s infrastructure bill,ā€ Blasi said in a statement. ā€œIt is long past time for New Jersey to fire Chris Smith. Forty years in D.C. is way too long.ā€

HIV-positive Adelaide man Jadd William Brooker pleads guilty to 141 child offences

 

An Adelaide man has pleaded guilty to 141 child offences over alleged incidents spanning more than three years.

 

A South Australian man has pleaded guilty to more than 100 child offences.

 

Jadd William Brooker, 39, was slapped with 141 new charges over alleged incidents that happened between March 2017 and August 2020 in Glenelg East and other unknown addresses across the state.

 

His charges relate to communicating with a child to engage in sexual activity; distributing, producing and obtaining child exploitation material; sexually exploiting a child and maintaining a relationship with a child.

 

He entered guilty pleas to all 141 offences when he appeared via video link in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday.

 

During his court appearance the defendant entered his guilty pleas by submitting a signed document that was handed to Magistrate Simon Smart by lawyer Tim Clarke.

 

Usually, defendants enter their pleas after having each individual charge read aloud in the courtroom and the accused would verbally respond to each.

 

Given the large number of offences committed by Brooker, it was agreed that he could enter his pleas by signing the document.

 

Brooker has admitted 182 crimes in total.

 

Since the Glenelg East residentā€™s arrest last year, the number of charges laid against him have climbed.

 

He previously pleaded guilty to 41 similar charges against him that are due to be heard in the District Court.

 

Brooker is due to reappear in court in January.
