Biden Talks to China’s President Xi on 3.5 Hour Phone Call and Never Brings Up COVID

China expert Gordan Chang asks why Biden didn’t bring up COVID in his discussion with China’s President Xi Jinping?

Gordan Chang was on Newsmax and he discussed Biden’s reaction to China.

President Joe Biden didn’t bring up the topic about the origins of COVID-19 during his three-and-a-half hour conversation with China’s President Xi Jinping because that would mean he’d have to do something about holding the rival country accountable, China expert Gordon Chang said on Newsmax Tuesday.

“Biden didn’t want to discuss it during their two-hour phone call in February,” Chang said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “I’m sure it didn’t come up in their September call … they say, well, we don’t want to veer into conflict, but you know, conflicts are not preceded by an absence of communication. They’re preceded by communication of the type we had last night for 3.5 hours.”

According to a White House readout about the lengthy conversation between Biden and Xi, they discussed several topics, including trade, human rights, Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, a free and open Indo-Pacific, health security, the climate crisis, and global energy supplies. The release, however, does not mention any conversation about COVID-19.

Chang tweeted out his thoughts after this interview.

China releases COVID-19 on the world and then Biden doesn’t bring it up in his 3.5 hour phone call with President Xi this week showing Biden is in China’s pocket.

Washington State Election Official Caught on Video – Says Writing a Name on a Napkin Can Count as a Ballot

A recent election review training in Seattle, Washington has revealed several unbelievable voter procedures – including accepting a candidate’s name that is written on a napkin as a write-in ballot – which has left many people questioning how the state could possibly conduct free and fair elections with such lax measures in place.

Video of the training session that was posted online shows King County election officials reviewing examples of ballots that were filled out incorrectly, and it turns out they will accept just about anything as a valid vote.

In one example of a mail-in submission that was shown by the officials, a voter in Seattle’s most recent election sent in an envelope with no ballot, but included a newspaper clipping of Democratic candidate Lorena Gonzalez. Unbelievably, officials said that if the person who submitted the clipping had just circled the candidate’s name it would have been tallied in the final vote total.

“This one is for Seattle Mayor. This voter did not send in a ballot – their envelope was empty, but we did get this part of the voter pamphlet with the candidate statement along with the contest info at the top of the page – ‘City of Seattle mayor.’

If there had been no handwriting at all, we would have just called this superfluous material and wouldn’t bring it before the board – [but] the fact they [drew] what looks like an ‘L’ and a ‘+’ or a ‘V’ and a ‘+’ made us want to bring this forward for you to look at – if they had circled Lorena’s name we would have counted it as a vote, but this is a little more ambiguous for us.

So the question is: is this a vote for Lorena? We want to look at [the election rule titled] ‘writing in the wrong place’ – in voter intent manual page 70 – so really what you need [is] the office and the position number if that’s applicable to call it a ‘write-in in the wrong place.’

For this instance if we thought this [scribble] was an indication that they meant to vote, then this would have everything we need to call it a ‘write-in in the wrong place.'”

After showing the example to the trainees, one woman asks for clarification from the speaker by comparing the newspaper clipping to a voter sending in a napkin that’s been filled out with a candidate’s name and information about the race.

Without skipping a beat the election official confirmed that yes, a napkin would be a proper replacement for a ballot, saying “that would be enough and we would count that as a vote.”

Another trainee can’t believe what he just heard so he questions the speaker about the rule in the elections manual that she is referencing to say napkins and newspaper clippings can be substituted for an official ballot. He points out how the “write-in in the wrong place” rule specifically states that the write-in needs to be “elsewhere on the ballot” and doesn’t say anything about napkins or any other item that can be changed in place of the ballot itself.

British F-35 jet crashes into Mediterranean – MoD

A Royal Air Force (RAF) F-35 jet crashed into the Mediterranean Sea on Wednesday after the pilot safely ejected. It's the first incident reported for the UK's flagship aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed the crash in a statement, saying that a “British F-35 pilot from HMS Queen Elizabeth ejected during routine flying operations in the Mediterranean this morning.”

The pilot was safely rescued and returned to the aircraft carrier and an investigation has been launched into the incident, with the ministry saying it “would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”

Earlier in November, the UK took delivery of three F-35 stealth fighters, at a cost of £100 million ($135 million) apiece, bringing the total number in the country’s fleet to 24. The British government has ordered six more jets, which are set to arrive next year, and seven that are due in 2023, with the aim of having 48 active F-35s by 2025.

HMS Queen Elizabeth – the UK’s flagship aircraft carrier – had eight UK F-35s on board, as well as 10 American F-35s. It recently returned to Europe after spending more than seven months on its maiden voyage through the South China Sea and into the Indo-Pacific region.

The Ministry of Defence has not yet recovered the plane, which is believed to have crashed into the sea at 10am GMT on Wednesday, and no other aircraft were involved in the incident. Despite the launch of an investigation, all remaining F-35s and training flights are continuing uninterrupted.

German media reveals jail terms for fake Covid certificates

Those making and knowingly using fake vaccination certificates in Germany could soon face up to five years behind bars, as the country’s likely future coalition government is looking to tighten the screws.

Coming under the same category are also fake test results and Covid recovery certificates, with similar penalties for the counterfeiters and the holders. Everything envisaged in the new guidelines was drafted by the Social Democrats, along with the Free Democratic and Green Parties. The three are currently in coalition talks and expected to form a new government as early as next week.

The German Parliament will decide on the regulations this Thursday, though a draft has already been seen by the media outlet DPA.

According to German media, the manufacturing and sale of fake certificates has become a booming black-market industry in the country. In just one such case reported by Der Spiegel in late October, a counterfeiter working at a pharmacy in Munich and her accomplice had churned out more than 500 fake digital certificates in the span of one month, raking in €350 for each one sold.

Meanwhile, Berlin authorities are planning to further ramp up restrictions in the city, where, starting Monday, having either a vaccination or recovery certificate is a must to enter restaurants, cinemas, theaters, museums, galleries, swimming pools, gyms, as well as hairdressers and beauty salons. On Tuesday, Berlin Mayor Michael Müller confirmed that authorities want to “have an additional instrument” to contain the spread of the virus. However, he declined to elaborate on what the new measures will be. Local media speculate that starting next week, in addition to the requirement to have a vaccination or recovery certificate to enter public places, people inside the venues will also need to practice social distancing and wear a mask, or have a recent negative test result.

This comes after Covid-19 numbers in Berlin hit an all-time high last Thursday, with 2,874 new cases reported that day.

Covid jab compensation claims soar in Australia

Australia’s government could be forced to spend tens of millions in payouts after receiving more than 10,000 compensation claims from people who suffered side effects and loss of income due to Covid-19 vaccines.

Under its no-fault indemnity scheme, eligible claimants can apply for compensation amounts between AU$5,000 (US$3,646) to AU$20,000 (US$14,585) to cover medical costs and lost wages as a result of being hospitalized after getting the shot. The scheme’s online portal is scheduled to be launched next month.

Official figures suggest, however, that over 10,000 people have already indicated their intention to make a claim since registration opened on the health department’s website in September. If each claim was approved, the government could face a bill of at least AU$50 million (US$36.46 million).

There were around 78,880 adverse events to Covid-related vaccination in Australia as of November 7, according to the Therapeutic Goods Administration, which regulates national health products. The majority of side effects were minor, including headaches, nausea, and arm soreness.

Only people who experienced a moderate to significant adverse reaction that resulted in a hospital stay of at least one night are eligible for coverage under the government’s scheme. Those seeking $20,000 or less have to provide proof their claims are vaccine-related – although there has been no information as yet on exactly what evidence would be acceptable.

“Adverse events, even though they happen to a tiny proportion of people, for the people it does impact it’s really quite devastating,” Clare Eves, the head of medical negligence at injury compensation firm Shine Lawyers, told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Among the adverse reactions covered are the blood clotting disorder “thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)” linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine and the “myocarditis and pericarditis” heart conditions associated with the Pfizer vaccine. Other reportedly accepted side effects are Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological condition, and immune thrombocytopenia (excessive bleeding due to low platelet levels).

Claims for over $20,000, including those for vaccine-related deaths, will be assessed by an independent legal panel of legal experts and compensation paid on its recommendations. Nine people have reportedly died after an adverse reaction to one of the three vaccines in the country.

Eves told the Morning Herald that her firm was representing a number of litigants over the vaccine side effects, including several who are not eligible for the scheme.

Worldwide Search Trend For "Died Suddenly" Spikes To Record Highs

We can't help but notice one Google search trend that has erupted worldwide.

The search term "died suddenly" has spiked to an all-time high in the last two months, with data going back to 2004.

We cannot definitively pinpoint the root cause of these mysterious deaths but want to direct readers to a piece noted last week titled "German Newspaper Highlights "Unusually Large" Number Of Soccer Players Who Have Collapsed Recently."

In that, we outlined German newspaper Berliner Zeitung reported an "unusually large number of professional and amateur soccer players have collapsed recently." Though it's not death, we find the sudden collapse of the sports players appears to be very strange and possibly health-related.

It's too early to speculate if people are suddenly dying or collapsing due to COVID-19 vaccine-related issues such as heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis). This is a trend that should be closely monitored.

FBI & CDC investigate ‘smallpox’ vials at big pharma facility – media

The FBI and CDC have launched a probe after several “questionable vials” labeled as “smallpox” were discovered in a freezer at a lab near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to an alert obtained by Yahoo News.

The 15 mysterious vials were found on Tuesday night at a Merck laboratory, according to an unclassified alert sent to the Department of Homeland Security and seen by the outlet. Five of the ampules carried labels reading “smallpox,” while another 10 were said to contain “vaccinia” virus, the source for the modern smallpox immunization.

The vials were reportedly “secured immediately” and the facility was briefly placed on lockdown. While that has since been lifted, federal law enforcement, as well the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have opened investigations, which are ongoing.

The CDC is set to take possession of the vials sometime on Wednesday, according to the alert, which also noted that no Merck staff were exposed to the materials.

While it remains unclear exactly where the containers were found, Merck runs two major facilities in Pennsylvania – one in West Point, its largest pharmaceutical manufacturing site, and another in nearby Upper Gwynedd, a 90-acre campus housing a research lab.

Smallpox is a deadly infectious disease caused by the variola virus, which carries a mortality rate of around 30%, according to the FDA, though the agency said that some less common forms of the illness are “usually fatal.” While the last naturally-occurring case of smallpox was recorded in the 1970s, with the disease largely eradicated through global vaccination campaigns, two labs are still authorized to store samples of the pathogen for research purposes, including a site in Siberia, Russia and another at the CDC’s headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

'The View' abruptly ends fiery segment with conservative guest who is not COVID vaccinated: 'I just don't think we should allow this misinformation'

"The View" abruptly cut to commercial Tuesday amid an intense interview with a conservative guest who was defending her decision not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

What happened?

Conservative Jedediah Bila, a former Fox News host, appeared on "The View" to promote her new book, "Dear Hartley." Sometime during the segment, co-host Joy Behar said it was time to "address the elephant in the room."

Behar was referring to the fact that Bila was not present in the studio. In fact, Bila was not permitted to appear on-set because she is not vaccinated, and as Behar noted, ABC has a "very strict policy" that everyone in its studio must be vaccinated against COVID-19.

"Why didn't you get it?" Behar asked, after repeating guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that people vaccinated against COVID-19 are significantly less likely to be hospitalized from COVID complications or die from COVID.

"I am not a candidate for this vaccine," Bila responded, explaining she has received a medical exemption from her doctor, which she said was endorsed by other doctors.

"I also have sky-high, multi-tier, multi-faceted natural immunity, very, very high, that has also been proven, it has been shown, and it has been substantiated by letters from these doctors," Bila explained. "So, for me, personally, this vaccine poses a greater risk than a benefit. I am also not a risk to any of you."

"My point about all of this is: I am not anti-vax. What I really want is for people to make these decisions for themselves," Bila added. As she endorsed personal choice, audio picked up one of the show's co-hosts loudly groaning dismissively in the background.

"However, I do oppose mandates," Bila continued. "I oppose them on the fact that — let's look at the science. This is a vaccine created to prevent severity of disease and to prevent hospitalization … but the vaccine does not prevent you from getting COVID and does not prevent you from transmitting COVID."

That's when the fireworks began.

"Oh, my goodness!" Behar objected. "No, that's not so. C'mon! You've been at Fox TV too long."

Bila appealed to the CDC itself, explaining the CDC recommends vaccinated people wear face masks indoors because being vaccinated does not prevent someone from transmitting COVID.

Co-host Sunny Hostin then interjected.

"You know what Jed, you know what Jed: 762,000 people have died from COVID," Hostin said. "We've been friends a long time, I just don't understand why you would choose to prioritize your personal freedom over health and safety of others."

"I just don't really think we should allow this kind of misinformation," Hostin continued. "We've had the United States surgeon general debunk everything that you've just said. And I just don't think we should allow this misinformation on our air."

Then co-host Whoopi Goldberg intervened, abruptly ending the tense exchange.

"This should sound very familiar to you, Jed, this should sound very familiar to you: We have to go to break," Goldberg said.

Jan 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson Called Secessionist Nation Of Islam Program ‘Absolutely Important.’

The Chairman of the House Committee on January 6th has numerous ties to extremist groups in America.

Rep. Bennie Thompson – chairman of the Congressional January 6th Commission – praised a program sponsored by a separatist Nation of Islam faction as “absolutely important,” The National Pulse can reveal.

Thompson, who has also supported the extremist secessionist group the Republic of New Afrika (RNA), joined the New Nation of Islam’s (NNOI) radio program in April 2014.

Ahead of Thompson’s hour-long long discussion with the “Son of Man,” the leader of the NNOI, he praised the radio program as “absolutely important”:

“Your program is absolutely important to people in southwest Mississippi that’s why I think it’s so good [unclear] and I appreciate the opportunity of being on it.”

“There’s no substitute for accurate information, and that’s why your show is so important because what you’re saying is what’s already out here. You can put opinions on it, but nobody can ever say that the facts you present were anything other than the facts,” Thompson reiterates roughly one hour into the program.

The NNOI website reveals that the “Son of Man” is a follower of the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, who led the Nation of Islam (NOI) from 1934 to 1975 and counted Malcolm X and anti-semite Louis Farrakhan as mentees:

“In 1973, the Son of Man visited Muhammad’s Temple where he heard and accepted the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He attended Temple #27 in Los Angeles, California. After the Honorable Elijah Muhammad passed in 1975, the Son of Man realized, thanks to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, that he is the Son of Man whom that teaching was designed to raise from a dead level to a living perpendicular.”

Among the demands called for by the NNOI are a “separate state or territory of our own”:

“WE WANT our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of our own – either on this continent or elsewhere.”

“Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 or more years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced. We believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white America more than justifies our demands; and our complete separation in a state or territory of our own,” adds the NNOI before insisting:

“We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problems between the two peoples.”

Joe Biden Backs Down on Taiwan After Xi Jinping Warns of ‘Playing with Fire’

President Joe Biden walked back a comment apparently describing Taiwan as “independent” on Tuesday after dictator Xi Jinping threatened Biden in a virtual meeting that those supporting the island nation would get “burned.”

After an event on infrastructure in New Hampshire, Biden told reporters he made it very clear to Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping during their video conference that the United States supported the 1979 Taiwan Act.

“We have made very clear we support the Taiwan Act, and that’s it,” Biden said to reporters. “It’s independent. It makes its own decisions.”

The Taiwan Act does not recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty. The United States does not acknowledge that Taiwan – run under a democratic system independent from Beijing for its entire existence – is a sovereign state as doing so would automatically trigger the end of diplomatic ties with communist China. The Taiwan Act does allow Washington to establish “relations” with Taipei separately from Beijing and allows the United States “to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character,” effectively lending support against a Chinese invasion.

Biden acted quickly to correct his comments to reporters, speaking to them again before boarding Air Force One for his trip home.

“We are not encouraging independence,” Biden said, repeatedly saying that “nothing” would happen on the issue of Taiwan.

“We’re encouraging that they do exactly what the Taiwan Act requires, and that’s what we’re doing,” he continued. “Let them make up their mind. Period.”

Biden repeatedly cited the Taiwan Act.

“Nothing happens. We’re not going to change our policy at all,” he clarified.

Biden commented on Taiwan after his over three-hour video conference call with Xi on Monday evening where the Chinese dictator scolded the United States on the issue of Taiwan.

“Such moves are extremely dangerous, just like playing with fire,” Xi said to Biden according to Xinhua. “Whoever plays with fire will get burnt.”

Chinese warplanes actually entered Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone during Biden’s video call with Xi on Monday.

Biden’s stumble over his rhetoric on Taiwan occurred after he promised to improve communications with China to “manage differences,” on the issue.

It’s not the first time that the White House has had to clarify the president’s comments on Taiwan.

In October, the White House clarified remarks from Biden during a CNN town hall where he said the United States would act to defend Taiwan if China attacked.

“Yes, we have a commitment to do that,” he said.

Mexican President Threatens U.S. Congressmen to Support Amnesty for 11 Million Migrants

Mexico’s President issued a veiled threat to Republican congressmen who oppose an immigration deal to grant amnesty to 11 million migrants who illegally entered the U.S. Politicians who oppose the forthcoming plan will be singled out and denounced during daily press briefings, he said.

During a morning press briefing this week, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador praised President Joe Biden, claiming no other U.S. counterpart had made a commitment to address 11 million illegal immigrants.

“He had committed to 11 million, to regularize the situation for 11 million immigrants,” Lopez Obrador said toward the end of the conference, adding the plan did not rest on Biden alone and he needed support on Capitol Hill.

“It depends on the Congress–it depends on this initiative being backed up and supported by the Congress,” he said. “By legislators from the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.”

Lopez Obrador said he hoped for unified support of the future initiative, but opponents would be directly attacked.

“We will make it known from here, that one party–their legislators–did not help something that is fair and humanitarian,” Lopez Obrador said.

The Mexican leader said that he would not accept a negative result and opponents would be made famous in his morning conferences.

Hidden on Page 1,647 of Biden's Huge Spending Bill Is a Plan Allowing Illegals to Get Billions of Dollars

It’s not hard to hide things in a 2,135-page document, and that is exactly what the Democrats tried to do in their new spending bill.

It has already been quite a fight for the Biden administration to get Democrats to back the $1.75 trillion bill. There was disagreement over the timing of the bill and its relation to the rest of the president’s Build Back Better plan.

But now the discovery of a provision, tucked on page 1647, may cause even more disagreement over the legislation.

The provision would end the requirement of a Social Security number in order to get child tax credits. This would mean that billions of dollars could be doled out in child tax to credit to just about anyone. Illegal immigrants would be able to claim child tax credits with this new provision.

“No credit shall be allowed under this section to a taxpayer with respect to any qualifying child unless the taxpayer includes the name and taxpayer identification number of such qualifying child,” current law regarding child tax credits stipulates.

Steven Camarota, a researcher with the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News he estimates that repealing this requirement could lead to about an extra $2.3 billion in payouts to illegal immigrants for child tax credits.

Camarota also estimated a big payout for all the illegal immigrants who have U.S.-born children.

“[W]e estimated that illegal immigrants would receive $8.2 billion in cash payments from the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC), which is part of budget reconciliation bill, also referred to as the Build Back Better (BBB) Act,” Camarota wrote for CIS.

This massive spike in payouts is also a result of the new program increasing the child tax credit maximum payment.

“The new program significantly increases the maximum cash payment, which is referred to as a ‘refundable credit,’ from $1,400 per child under the old ACTC to $3,600 for children under six, and $3,000 for children six to 17. The new CTC is only extended for one year in the BBB, after which the maximum for all children would be $2,000,” Camarota wrote.

But even if the CTC payout decreases again next year, the payouts will still be significantly higher if the requirement of a Social Security number is eliminated.

“The elimination of the SSN requirement also allows the more than 600,000 illegal immigrants encountered at the border in family units or as unaccompanied minors and released in FY 2021 to receive cash payments from the new CTC,” Camarota wrote.

These CTC payouts are not be confused, however, with Biden’s previous idea to pay those immigrant families that were separated at the border because they “deserve some kind of compensation.”

This amount of payouts for child tax credits is going to be damaging. Keeping the whole immigration argument out of it, just on the financial side this kind of extra spending is irresponsible.

Biden’s whole bill is already $1.75 trillion, and the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the whole Build Back Better plan could massively increase the deficit.

“CBO estimates that enacting this title would result in a net increase in the deficit totaling $150.7 billion over the 2022-2031 period. That increase in the deficit would result from an increase in direct spending of $151.5 billion and an increase in revenues of $0.8 billion,” the CBO announced Monday.

Despite all this, though, Democrats still seem to be determined to pass this spending bill this week.

“Yes, we intend — that is our plan to pass the bill the week of Nov. 15, as is indicated in our statements that were made at the time of passing the infrastructure bill, and we’re very proud of that,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Nov. 9, according to the New York Post.

So in the midst of our economy still hobbled and recovering from COVID, and inflation hitting a 30 year high, Democrats want to throw billions more away.

NYC Mayor bribes 5 yr olds $100 to submit to experimental vaxx jab: “It buys a lot of candy”

In a sane era, no ethics review board would allow doctors to bribe young children to undergo a treatment with unknown dangers and minuscule benefits. But medical ethics are just one more casualty of the Covid pandemic, as Bill de Blasio cheerfully demonstrated at a recent press conference. New York’s mayor announced that children aged five and older would get $100 for being vaccinated against Covid—and then he made a direct pitch to those too young to appreciate the size of the city’s bribe.

“It buys a whole lot of candy,” the mayor explained.

Visiting IDF Exercise, Israel’s Gantz Says World Should Act Against Iran

Israel's Bennett voiced opposition to the Iran nuclear deal

Israeli officials continued their near-daily threats against Iran Tuesday, with Defense Minister Benny Gantz calling on the world to “act against Iran” and warning that Israel is prepared to take action.

“The world needs to act against Iran, and Israel is prepared to do what is needed on all of these fronts and on the northern front in particular,” Gantz said after visiting an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) exercise in northern Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also stopped by the IDF exercise. According to The Times of Israel, he expressed skepticism over the indirect negotiations between the US and Iran to revive the nuclear deal that are set to resume on November 29th.

“No matter what happens between Iran and the world powers — and we are certainly concerned about the fact that there is insufficient severity in dealing with Iranian violations — Israel will protect itself with its own forces,” Bennett said.

Robert Malley, President Biden’s special envoy for Iran, is on a tour of the Middle East where he is meeting with Iran’s rivals ahead of the nuclear deal talks. During his visit to Israel on Monday, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid reiterated to Malley that Israel is against the resumption of negotiations, claiming Iran is only looking to buy time.

The Biden administration has coordinated very closely with the Israelis on how to approach Iran and has even joined in on the threats. In a recent interview, Secretary of State Antony Blinken wouldn’t rule out military action as a possible option against Iran if the nuclear deal isn’t revived.

Nation’s First Real-Time CCTV Camera Network Managed By A Cable Television Company

One of the oldest parks in Nevada, Baker Park in Las Vegas was remodeled for a staggering $7.3 million dollars. But concerns over homeless people made the city of Las Vegas do something no other city in the country has ever done before.

“I went to that middle school,” said Aleah Hildebrandt. “I use to come here and hang out with friends, but there were no homeless people out. I don’t think so; maybe a few but that’s it.”

“I’d come back with my niece and my whole family, said Pauline-Bishop. “We’d come, but we don’t come because of the homeless people, but if that were to be changed, we would definitely come back.”

In what is being billed as the “nation’s first city-led managed private network” managed by a cable television company; Cox Communications has effectively created a Cable Television Public Surveillance Network (CTPSN).

Last month, Cox Communications proudly revealed that their new pilot program is really a pilot public surveillance program.

“Cox Communications unveiled today a new pilot program with the city of Las Vegas to deploy one of the first Managed Private Networks (MPN) launched by a U.S. city to facilitate Smart City use cases.”

It’s hard to put into words how repugnant the nation’s first “Managed Private Networks” really is.

“Together, Cox and the city will leverage Citizens’ Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) to power Smart City solutions that deliver insights into visitor attendance and after-hours activities at a local park (Baker Park, 1010 E. St. Louis Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89104) through parking lot management, safety detection and trend analytics. The learnings from this pilot will empower Cox and Las Vegas to push the boundaries of how networks of the future can be used to scale and support solutions and services.”

Cox wants to “push the boundaries of how networks of the future can be used to scale and support solutions and services.” Translation: Cox wants to expand their business model into the profitable world of corporate/police surveillance.

“The combination of Cox’s existing fiber network with the city’s infrastructure will accelerate the ability to deploy solutions and will provide an ideal path to a long-term, sustainable solution should the pilot prove successful.”

Cox’s ability to “accelerate the ability to deploy solutions” is a fancy way of saying it is cheaper for them to install public surveillance devices because they own the fiber optics network.

Since when does a cable television company equate public surveillance with a “long-term sustainable solution”? The only way this is a “long term sustainable solution” is if they remain the only cable television company of choice in the state.

Bush Family Scion Sponsors Event With Blacklisted Chinese Company

Event will feature Chinese military contractors behind hypersonic missile test

A scion of the Bush family is lending his influence and family name to boost a Chinese government contractor blacklisted by the U.S. government for its links to the Chinese military.

Neil Bush, the son of President George H.W. Bush, is a cosponsor of the International Symposium on the Peaceful Use of Space Technology that begins Nov. 18 in Beijing. Three co-chairmen of the forum are executives with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), a state-controlled contractor that builds China's military and space equipment. A subsidiary of CASC reportedly developed a hypersonic missile that the Chinese military tested in August. American officials called the nuclear-capable missile a "national security crisis" because of its ability to evade detection.

Bush's sponsorship of the space symposium adds a veneer of respectability to the event amid growing concerns about China's increasingly aggressive military and space activities. The Trump and Biden administrations have prohibited American companies from doing business with CASC because of its position in the Chinese military-industrial apparatus. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute, which tracks China's military activities, rates CASC a "very high risk" to foreign nations' security because of its links to China's military and intelligence services.

Bush has extensive business ties in China and has worked closely with some of the country's propaganda organizations. He chairs the George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations, which is cosponsoring the space symposium. The Bush Foundation received $5 million in funding in 2019 from the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a leading think tank in the Communist Party's propaganda network. Bush's business partner, the Chinese real estate investor Wang Tianyi, is executive chairman of the space symposium.

"Bush is basically a power broker. He's an access point for the Chinese to leverage," said Brandon Weichert, a space security analyst and author of the book Winning Space.

Weichert said the space symposium follows "the classic Chinese model" of using academic and business forums to recruit experts and investors in the West.

"One of their big missions is to get Western talent and investment to come to China to do cutting-edge research and development," Weichert told the Washington Free Beacon.

A spokeswoman for the Bush-China Foundation said they are not concerned by CASC's links to the Chinese military, saying that the symposium will focus on the development of space technology for use in the health care industry.

"We are not concerned because it is not relevant to the content of this particular conference, which is unrelated to China's military and is instead focused on global space technological advancements and rules-setting," said Leslie Reagan, the communications director for the Bush-China Foundation.

Reagan said that Bush does not have a financial interest in the space symposium and that neither he nor the foundation are paid to take part in the event.

Welcome packet reveals concierge travel service for Biden illegals, courtesy of nonprofits

Hotels, free plane tickets, an airport escort and a plea for TSA to skip normal ID check.

Like travel agents preparing customers for a cruise, nonprofits working with the Biden administration have created detailed itineraries and information packets to help illegal aliens travel to wherever they want to go in the U.S., according to documents obtained by a Texas congressman.

Often courtesy of American taxpayers struggling to pay their bills during surging inflation, illegals are given free quality hotel rooms, plane tickets and transportation to the airport, travel maps, and instructions to TSA to bypass photo ID requirements, according to the documents shared with Just the News.

The prototype packet, which was provided by a whistleblower to Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas), undermines Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' claim that the southern border is closed. Instead, it highlights an extensive network of nonprofits, corporations and family foundations working together to circumvent immigration laws passed by Congress.

The packet provided by Gooden to Just the News details a travel itinerary of a 46-year-old Honduran who entered the U.S. illegally in California, one of thousands assisted by the San Diego Rapid Response Network, which identifies itself as a "coalition of human rights and service organizations, attorneys and community leaders dedicated to aiding immigrants and their families in the San Diego border region of the U.S."

One of its partners, Jewish Family Services, which did not immediately return request for comment, appears to have arranged the Honduran's travel, according to the documents.

"The state of California, U.S. corporations and nonprofits, and the Biden administration are facilitating human smuggling and child trafficking in our country," Gooden told Just The News. "They are allowing these migrants, many of whom are unknown to U.S. law enforcement agencies, to board commercial aircraft, creating one of the greatest threats to U.S. national security since September 11, 2001. It is time for transparency and accountability for everyone involved in exacerbating this crisis."

The packet reveals that the Honduran traveled north to Mexico, and once there, received the first dose of the Astra-Zeneca COVID-19 vaccine one week prior to entering the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego, on Aug. 13.

The Honduran was processed by a Border Patrol agent and while in ICE custody was likely connected to a JFS contact tasked with coordinating his travel. This included booking a free room at the Four Points Sheraton in San Diego, a Mariott-owned three-star hotel near the city's Little Italy attractions, and a free United Airlines ticket to Louisiana, the Honduran's destination of choice.

The packet includes a copy of a standard Department of Homeland Security I-862 form confirming the Honduran's illegal alien status and eligibility for deportation and that the Border Patrol agent followed the law to the best of his ability.

The form states, "On the basis of the foregoing, it is charged that you are subject to removal from the United State pursuant to the following provisions of law," citing Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The most recent financial statement for JFS shows it got more than $16 million in government support and lists numerous services it provided, including refugee resettlement, legal aid and migrant housing.

JFS did not return a call Tuesday seeking comment.

Australian War Propaganda Goes Off the Rails

In a blatant advert for arms sales masquerading as news, 60 Minutes tries to tie Taiwan to the fantasy of China randomly invading a continent of white foreigners thousands of miles away, writes Caity Johnstone.

60 Minutes Australia has churned out yet another fear-mongering war propaganda piece on China, this one so ham-fisted in its call to beef up military spending that it goes so far as to run a brazen advertisement for an actual Australian weapons manufacturer disguised as news reporting.

This round of psychological conformity-making features Australian former major general Jim “The Butcher of Fallujah” Molan saying that in three to ten years a war will be fought against China over Taiwan and that Australians are going to have to fight in that war to prevent a future Chinese invasion of the land down under.

He argues Australia will need to greatly increase its military spending in order to accomplish this, because it can’t be certain the United States will protect it from Chinese aggression.

“Australia is monstrously vulnerable at the moment; we have this naive faith that American military power is infinite, and it’s not,” says Molan, who is a contributor to government/arms industry-funded think tanks Lowy Institute and Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

Decrying what he calls “panda huggers” (meaning people who aren’t China hawks), Molan claims that “the Chinese Communist Party’s aim is to be dominant in this region and perhaps dominant in the world.” Asked when war might break out, he claims “Given the power that they have in their military they could act any time from now on, and that’s what frightens me more than anything.”

“The next war is not going to be ten or twenty years away, it’s going to be in the next three to ten years,” Molan asserts.

“My estimate is that in a serious fight the Australian Defense Force only has enough missiles for days. This is not going to be resolved in days. And of course we’re not big enough. We should expand the defense force significantly… We should fund defense now based on our assessment of the national security strategy which is based on the war that we want to win.”

“In short do you think Australia needs to prepare for war tomorrow?” the interviewer asks Molan.

“Absolutely,” he replies.

Molan makes the ridiculous argument that if Australia does not to commit to defending Taiwan from the mainland then it won’t be long before they can expect a Chinese invasion at home, as though there’s any line that could be drawn between the resolution to a decades-old Chinese civil war and China deciding to invade a random continent full of white foreigners thousands of miles away.

“Suppose we said okay Taiwan you’re on your own up there and the Chinese snapped it up, and the Chinese started looking around the world and they might snap up other liberal democracies like Australia,” Molan argues. “And we might then turn to America and say America well could you give us a bit of a hand here? And the Americans might say what we said to Taiwan. Where do you draw the line? This situation that is developing now is an existential threat to Australia as a liberal democracy.”

Dr. Jade Norris: “We have to ask ourselves why questioning voices are so ferociously shut down”

Dr. Jade Norris, a Senior Research Associate at the University of Bristol Medical School, spoke about the importance of freedom of speech and it’s decline in British universities at #Together’s ‘Can there be Science without Free Speech?’ conference.

Dr. Norris also occasionally writes for The Spectator and was a volunteer Special Constable for ten years.

Her speech focussed on the importance of free speech debate and inquiry in academia. “Universities are where some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs happen. And in recent years universities have also increased our focus on creating what is termed ‘the impact of research’ – so that is the real-world change that can be brought about by research findings. Looking at the issue of freedom of speech, debate and enquiry within our universities is crucial as what happens within these institutions ultimately affects us all,” Dr. Norris said.

Thank you so much to Alan and the team for inviting me to join this panel today. As I’m a researcher at university I’m going to focus on the importance of free speech debate and inquiry in academia.

Universities are the places where some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs happen. In recent years universities have also increased our focus on creating what is termed ‘the impact of research’ – so that is the real-world change that can be brought about by the research findings. Looking at the issue of freedom of speech, debate and inquiry within our universities is crucial as what happens within these institutions ultimately affects us all.

I’m currently working on a clinical trial and a crucial part of ensuring that the findings of clinical trials are robust is to minimise what is termed ‘bias’. Bias can be introduced into a trial at any time: as the trial is being designed; as the data is analysed; or, as the findings are being published. Several steps are taken to minimise this bias. For example, in many trials we use something called blinding which means that if, for example, people in the trial are allocated to take either a placebo or an active medication neither they nor the researchers will know which medication that they’re taking. Blinding reduces bias because people’s perceptions about the relative effectiveness of each medication can’t bias the results of the trial because people don’t actually know which they’re taking. I’m giving this example because I think that bias is a useful lens through which to look at the issue of freedom of speech and inquiry in academia.

=Rittenhouse Case: Mysterious 'Jump Kick Man' ID'ed As 'Career Criminal' And Domestic Abuser

A Milwaukee radio station reported Tuesday that "Jump Kick Man" is "a 40-year-old Black male from Kenosha with an extensive criminal record who was at the time of the Rittenhouse shootings on probation following a conviction for domestic violence battery."

News Talk 1130's Dan O'Donnell reports:

"The Dan O'Donnell Show" can now report exclusively that Jump Kick Man is a 40-year-old Black male from Kenosha with an extensive criminal record who was at the time of the Rittenhouse shootings on probation following a conviction for domestic violence battery. He faced a maximum sentence of nine months in jail, but less than two months before he kicked Rittenhouse, he accepted a plea deal that netted him 12 months' probation. The following year, he violated the terms of his probation and was sentenced to seven months in jail.

Had Jump Kick Man been sentenced to even two months in jail instead of probation, he would not have been in Kenosha the night of the shootings. […]

"The Dan O'Donnell Show" is not naming Jump Kick Man, as he has not been criminally charged in connection with the Rittenhouse case. Sources indicate that he contacted prosecutors and offered to testify, but in exchange requested immunity from an ongoing drunk driving and domestic abuse case with which he was charged in June. Prosecutors declined his offer and chose not to call him as a witness in the Rittenhouse case.

According to online court records, Jump Kick Man has a criminal record that dates back more than two decades, with multiple felony convictions for car theft, ID theft, drug possession, and escaping custody. Given this and a recent prior conviction for misdemeanor battery (and a subsequent probation revocation), Jump Kick Man should have been sentenced to at least some jail time following his most recent conviction.

Isn't it amazing how Kyle Rittenhouse got the book thrown at him while his assailants like this lowlife, serial child molester and domestic abuser Joseph Rosenbaum, drunk-driving, grandma abusing Gaige Grosskreutz, and domestic abuser Anthony Huber were all free to roam the streets?

What are the odds that every last person he shot was a domestic abuser?

St. Petersburg Man Sentenced To Fifteen Years For Attempting To Entice And Meet A 5-Year-Old Child For Sex

Tampa, Florida – U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Barber has sentenced Eric James Templeton (33, St. Petersburg) to 15 years in federal prison for attempting to entice and meet a 5-year-old child for sex. Templeton was also ordered to serve a 15-year term of supervised release, to register as a sex offender, and to pay $11,700 in restitution.

Templeton had pleaded guilty on March 9, 2021.

According to court documents, from May 19 through May 21, 2020, Templeton engaged in online chats and text messaging with an individual whom he believed to be the mother of a 5-year-old child. During those conversations, Templeton indicated to the “mother” (actually an undercover Homeland Security Investigations agent) his desire to meet and sexually abuse the child. On May 21, 2020, Templeton agreed to meet the “mother” and her child for that purpose. Templeton arrived at the meeting location in Tampa and was arrested by HSI agents. A search of Templeton’s person revealed that he was carrying a bottle of lubricant and two lollipops.

“Thanks to the partnership between HSI special agents and the Pasco Sheriff’s Office, this child predator will now be behind bars,” said HSI Tampa Assistant Special Agent in Charge Micah McCombs.

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Erin Claire Favorit.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
